Laiyi.

Where is she?

What is she doing?

Who?

Who do you think?

Miss Ren.

Do you need me to go check?

No need.

Wait.

What is

Le'an doing?

I'd better go check.

I didn't ask you to.

I was just asking.

Right,

go...

see where Qiaoqiao is.

Qiaoqiao?

Go.

W-Who's Qiaoqiao?

Drink slowly.

Uncle.

Why are you still up?

I'm worried Qiaoqiao might get hungry at night.

Puppies can't eat this.

It's too salty. It'll make its fur fall out.

Give it this instead.

Qiaoqiao,

have some treats.

When can Qiaoqiao take a bath?

Last time I saw it,

it had mud on its paws.

I wanted to bathe it,

but Mom said

it couldn't have a bath yet.

Your mom's right.

A puppy shouldn't be bathed until it's at least 2 months old.

Besides, it's getting chilly.

It'll catch a cold if it takes a bath.

Puppies catch colds too?

Of course.

Puppies can catch colds—

and get sick in plenty of other ways too.

Then how can we tell

if they're sick?

Their poop changes color.

You can tell if a puppy is sick

by the color of its poop.

But poop smells so bad.

I had a puppy when I was little too.

At that time,

I'd crouch beside its kennel to check

the color of its poop every morning.

At first, I thought it smelled awful too.

But after a while,

I got used to it.

Uncle.

You're so amazing.

What?

Tomorrow, I'm going to check

Qiaoqiao's poop too.

I just have to hold my breath first.

Uncle.

My mom said

you've led troops in battle.

Are there puppies on the battlefield?

There are no puppies on the battlefield.

Would you like

to hear some stories about the battlefield?

Yes.

Alright.

Come on, Qiaoqiao, into your kennel.

I'll take you

for a horsey ride.

Let's go.

Giddy-up!

Turning!

Are you scared? Are you scared?

No.

Are you scared?

Not scared? Then move a little.

Scared?

[Lanxin Theater]

Young Master Qingyi,

I found it.

There really is a batch of Red Pills circulating on the black market.

To save money, customers

at the opium dens in Opium Den Alley bring some of these themselves,

and the owners mostly turn a blind eye.

Let's go. To Opium Den Alley.

Ren Susu.

What are you doing here?

I came to investigate the Red Pills.

Why shouldn't I be here?

You even know about the Red Pills?

Not only do I know about them,

but I also know

why you stopped me from killing Li Rongzhang.

Because he's connected to the Red Pills.

Then let's work together.

We can share information.

As if I'd work with you.

I can bring you along,

but you have to agree to one condition.

What condition?

I haven't decided yet.

I'll cash it in when I do.

Once I come up with one,

whatever I ask you to do,

you can't say no.

I promise.

I don't believe you.

Then...

I swear to heaven.

As long as it doesn't hurt the people I care about,

I will do whatever you ask.

You'd better not regret it later.

I never will.

You little beggar,

you've got a death wish, huh?

Get out here!

Get out, get out!

The boss took pity on you

and gave you something to eat.

But you,

you pushed your luck

and stole customers' pastries!

Get lost!

Get lost now!

-Get lost! -Gentlemen, please.

Please come in.

-Come in and have another serving. -Let's go.

Come on.

Puppy, eat up.

Eat your fill

so you'll have a chance to grow up.

Kid, what are you doing here?

Who are you?

W-What do you want?

Here.

Go buy yourself something to eat.

No!

I don't need your charity!

What's with you?

We're giving you money, and you're refusing it?

Listen up, brat.

If you want to survive in this world,

your pride

is the most useless thing you can have.

Take it.

Don't bother with him.

Ungrateful little wretch.

Get up!

Let go of me!

Get up!

-What are you doing? -You bastard!

Murong Qingyi!

Laiyi.

Take him away.

Clean him up,

then send him to the orphanage.

Yes.

Let go of me!

Behave.

Such a hassle.

Let's go.

This way.

What are you thinking about?

I was wondering

why you seem so familiar with this place.

I came here once before, when I was delirious.

If my brother hadn't found me

and kept holding on to me,

I probably

wouldn't be alive today.

When you were at the Murong residence before,

didn't you hear them gossip about me,

like I'd been

a troublemaking devil since I was little?

So,

what exactly happened?

When I was little, one of our enemies forced poison down my throat.

They thought I was as good as dead,

so they threw me into the river to dispose of the body.

Luckily, I was hard to kill.

Or maybe I swallowed so much river water

♪ I happened to hear your name ♪

that I threw up most of the poison.

Anyway,

♪ And all the memories ♪

someone saved me in the end.

I can't remember.

♪ I wish I could ask you once more ♪

the poison damaged my brain.

♪ New corny jokes to tell ♪

You were delirious.

♪ I'm running ♪

So...

So what?

♪ Running toward you ♪

I bet you're not about to say anything nice.

[Penglai Opium Den]

♪ Having loved you deeply ♪

We've never sold

♪ Was the best decision I've made ♪

that stuff you mentioned in our opium den.

But

I've heard of it.

It's said

that only poor people smoke it

because it's cheap.

However,

the side effects are pretty severe.

And supply is often cut off.

By the way,

I also heard

that there's a new, refined batch

coming to Nancheng soon.

Lots of people

are waiting with bated breath for it.

Do you know who handles it,

what the route is,

or where they're headed?

You're really putting me on the spot here.

Think about it—

that's their money-making business.

Why would they go around

broadcasting it to their competitors?

We have to find that shipment of Red Pills.

[Penglai Opium Den]

Didn't you say we'd share information?

Go on, then.

You head back first.

I've got something else to take care of.

We'll talk when I get back.

[Penglai Opium Den]

Why are you following me?

Since we agreed to investigate together,

please, Young Master Qingyi, have some basic trust in me.

After all, I never pried into

your sources of information,

did I?

Who said I'm going to follow you?

I just wanted to ask...

What should we do about this puppy?

Return it to its owner, of course.

So the esteemed principal of the aviation school

is stealing a little kid's dog now?

Who says it's someone else's dog?

So what if I want to keep it myself?

Clean it up and send it to that little beggar.

Tao, how'd it go?

[Tao, Young Man]

We searched all over Nancheng

but couldn't find this pattern anywhere.

However, I did notice

a few unusual trains

at the station recently.

The trains that normally come through

have straight, tube-shaped smokestacks.

But those trains' smokestacks are shaped like this,

like trumpets.

I've never seen anything like them.

And

those trains

only arrive and depart in the middle of the night.

Even the cargo is unloaded before dawn.

Those people act very suspiciously too.

Could you tell

what they were unloading?

No.

The train station is surrounded by troops.

I didn't dare get too close.

But

during the day, those trains

are parked on the open tracks

beside the station.

I can take you there.

Let's go.

[Lanxin Theater]

Come in.

Uncle.

Do you want some?

What have you got there?

Broad beans I stole from the storeroom.

I can't eat those.

Sit.

Uncle,

what book are you reading?

A boring military book.

Then why are you reading it?

My storybooks are much more interesting.

In this world,

you don't always get to do only what you like.

Qingyi,

this world

won't change just because you want it to.

Uncle, what are you thinking about?

Thinking about a family member.

If you miss him,

I won't go home tonight.

I'll stay and keep you company tonight.

Why?

Whenever I feel lonely,

Mom always stays with me while I sleep.

What about your dad?

Doesn't he stay with you?

Which dad do you mean?

"Which dad?"

You have lots of dads?

Of course.

Sometimes,

I wish Uncle Wu, who sells little cakes,

were my dad.

Sometimes,

I wish

Aniu, who makes sugar figurines, were my dad.

And... you're good-looking.

I wouldn't mind having you as my dad.

You little rascal.

So anyone who gives you treats is your dad, huh?

Le'an!

Uncle,

I can't breathe.

This is an allergic reaction.

Someone!

Get the car! We're going to the hospital!

How could this happen?

What did you feed Le'an?

I told you long ago

to stay away from my son.

You never told me,

so how was I supposed to know

that my son...

is allergic to broad beans just like me?

The child has a severe allergic reaction to broad beans.

You've been far too careless as parents.

In cases like this,

the child's immediate family members

must also have the same allergy.

You should've been aware of that.

How could you let the child come into contact with the allergen?

How much longer are you going to lie to me?

Do you just enjoy jerking me around and keeping me in the dark like this?

His age,

his looks,

even his allergy—everything matches.

Ren Susu,

are you still going to deny it?

Le'an even told me today

how nice it would be if I were his father.

What exactly do you want?

I'm his father.

I have the right to know he exists.

Besides,

he's a human being.

And he's just a child.

He's not a tool for you to get back at me.

You really think I'd use my own child to get revenge on you?

I've raised him by myself for 6 years.

Who was it that said you hated me

and never wanted to see me again for the rest of your life?

How could I let Le'an

have a father who hates him and his mother?

Look at your family.

Then look at yourself.

Do you honestly think you'd make a good father?

I never asked you to!

Forget it.

I told you not to follow me!

Didn't you hear me?

I saved you,

so I have to take responsibility for you.

I don't want it.

I never asked you to save me.

Papa, Mama, come out quickly and put out the fire!

Susu!

-Susu! -Come out and put out the fire!

-Come out! -Susu!

-Susu! -Come out and put out the fire!

You can't take it upon yourself

to deny me the right to be his father.

I simply don't want you to be his father.

You're just an ungrateful bastard.

Do you think you're any better?

You're so calculating

and cold-blooded.

What gives you the right to judge me?

We're the same.

We only bring misfortune to those around us.

Satisfied now?

So please,

stay away from Le'an from now on.

Mom.

Le'an.

Are you still feeling unwell anywhere?

Mom,

don't cry.

Mom won't cry.

Mom will go get you some hot water.

Gu.

Madam Murong,

you really shouldn't drink anymore.

Young Miss Jinrui has warned me several times

not to sell you any alcohol.

Can I drink?

Can I?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, you can.

Sir,

here is your drink.

Don't recognize me anymore?

You're back.

It really is you.

Back then, whenever anything happened

among Nancheng's political or business elite,

you always knew, Madam Murong.

What?

I came back, and you didn't hear a thing?

You came back just to gloat over our family's misery.

Family?

Have you forgotten, Madam Murong?

We stopped being family a long time ago.

How could I forget?

You would rather endure 3 stab wounds

than remain a member of the Murong family.

How could I ever forget that?

Look at your family.

Then look at yourself.

Do you honestly think you'd make a good father?

When you had your first child,

what were you thinking?

Why are you asking that?

Just curious.

When I had Jinrui...

your father and I were marching and fighting in a war.

We had no choice

but to leave her with a local family in Wuchi.

It wasn't until 7 or 8 years later

that we brought her home.

By then, she'd grown into an ignorant,

rough, and unsophisticated child.

I felt I owed her so much.

If she'd grown up by my side,

she wouldn't have turned out this way.

So I swore...

I'd make it up to her.

Yes.

You failed Qingyu,

failed Jinrui,

and failed Li Boze.

Only me—

even though back then you hit me, scolded me,

wronged me, and looked down on me—

it was always my fault,

right?

Why?

Why were our two families' babies switched by mistake back then?

Why did a wretch like you turn out to be my son?

Why is it that you're my son,

yet at the most critical moment,

-your dad was about to be assassinated... -Enough! I don't want to hear it!

Enough with the whys!

I'm getting married in a few days.

Madam Murong, please come

have a few drinks at my wedding.

What?

You deserve to get married?

What makes you think you deserve to marry?

Whether I marry or not— do you have any right to judge that?

All these years,

I've fought my way through a hail of bullets, step by step.

Instead of asking whether I'm tired, in pain, or hurt,

you open your mouth and say I don't deserve to marry.

Before today, I often wondered

whether someone like me

was qualified to be a father

or deserved a complete family.

But after seeing you today,

I finally understand.

If even you can be a mother,

why can't I be a father?

At the very least,

I won't let my child

relive the tragedy I went through.

My child!

[Zarry Grand Hotel]

[Two days later]

Miss Ren,

you're here.

Where did he take Le'an?

You'll know when the time comes.

By the way, Mother,

why do we even need to come to Qingyi's wedding?

Have you forgotten that back then he...

Mother,

why is Fang Mulan here?

Qingyi invited her too?

The bride and groom are here.

The bride and groom are here.
