A River Runs Through It

Episode 31 Is love a multiple choice question? (Part 1)

I need to answer the phone.

Hi, Lin You.

I'm fine.

Is that his girlfriend?

I've no idea.

My mom is fine, too.

I don't

want to interfere in

their relationship.

Come on.

You're just talking.

Aren't you curious?

Not at all.

He'll show me

the girl if he wants to.

I'm curious.

I'm wondering what a girl

he's going out with.

Why don't you be curious

about your Shiyi?

He's just a kid.

He's not mature enough

to fall in love.

Aunt Li.

How do you know

Shiyi isn't mature?

He has a girlfriend?

He told you so?

Is she your schoolmate?

Xiaoju.

Bring

some corns

to Cheng Lang

and Shiyi later.

Mom, they can

buy it in the market.

Besides, why do we

have to give them corns?

They're not something valuable.

It's our compliment anyway.

Plus they were

planted by your grandparents,

which are free of pesticide and chemical fertilizer.

They can be eaten at ease.

Just go.

Well,

you may ask Shiyi yourself.

I'm going to ask him now.

That stupid kid's grown up.

Hi.

Shiyi.

- Mom. - Shiyi.

You're in a relationship?

Don't listen to the nonsense.

Cheng Lang told me all.

Come on.

Then don't listen to his nonsense.

Cheng Lang

never lied.

If he said so,

you must be in a relationship.

Which class?

What's her name?

Is she pretty?

Is she as tall as me?

What're you talking about?

Step aside.

I can't watch TV.

I'll turn it off if you don't tell me.

Give me that.

I don't have one.

Tell me. Tell me.

Tell you what?

Who's it?

Uncle, aunt.

Xiaoju, come on in.

Hi, uncle, aunt.

My mom told me

to bring you some corn.

My grandparents planted them.

They're free of pesticide and sweet.

All right. Just put them there.

OK.

Mom.

She's my girlfriend.

But now

we broke up.

Great!

Why did you break up?

I think you two

are a good pair.

Is it true?

No.

It's not.

I was kidding, mom.

She's not my girlfriend.

No, I'm not.

Aunt, I'm not.

Shiyi, you think

it's funny?

I knew it.

How couldn't I notice it

if you were together?

Aunt, let me put

them there.

I'm leaving.

All right.

Bye, aunt.

It hurts.

Are you insane?

How could you joke with me like that?

Hi, Xiaoju.

Hi, aunt.

You're afraid you'll

have a crush on me?

I thought you'd got closer

to me at last

lately.

It turns out I thought too much.

Why do I feel

so uncomfortable?

Xia Xiaoju.

You've been hoping to break up with him.

Now Dowdy agreed,

isn't it a good thing?

Still refuse to tell me?

Fine.

You'll no longer

have pocket money.

Don't you know

it'll cost a lot in a relationship?

I don't mind.

Move forward by retreating first. Will my plan work?

- Cheng Lang. - Yes?

Take them with you.

So many?

I couldn't eat them up.

One box is for you

and one for your girlfriend.

Thanks, mom.

What happened?

Why're you so quiet today?

We just broke up.

It's awkward to talk now.

Are you kidding me?

I'm not.

Just ask her.

Xiaoju?

Yes.

Forget it.

You two always

have fights.

Maybe you'll make it up tomorrow.

I mean it.

Me, too.

Rise.

Stretch your fingers.

Raise your legs. Step back.

Good. Stop.

All right.

So much for today.

Thank you.

Thank you.

No problem.

Lin.

I heard you're

qualified for an exchange student of arts?

You can study abroad?

We're envying you.

I haven't decided whether to go or not.

Not?

You're reluctant to leave Cheng?

Lin.

There's your boy.

Cheng.

What did you bring

to Lin today?

Could we take a share?

I brought this

just for you.

Take it.

Thank you.

We'll disappear right now

to leave you be.

Bye.

Just give them that.

You'll practice

one more hour when you put on weight.

So, do you want it?

Sure.

The snack cooked by my mom.

Is it good?

Yes.

The snack made

by aunt is the best.

My mom's dishes are better.

Have a dinner with us when you're free.

All right.

I've eaten so many things

she made,

but I haven't thanked her face to face.

Really?

You want to go to my home?

You don't like that?

I like that.

Of course I like that.

Look,

my mom can cook many dishes,

they're terrific.

I'm sure

she'll be glad to see you.

Here.

Lin You.

What's up?

I'm thinking

what gift shall I give her

since it's our first meet.

You're so sweet.

Your visit alone will make us so joyful.

Here.

Try a green one.

OK.

Where's your guitar?

Why didn't you take it with you?

Listen up,

we're offered a job.

I accepted it.

Postpone other businesses

this week.

So we can rehearse.

Go back to take your guitar.

I want to quit.

Me, too.

What do you mean?

A company offered me an internship.

I don't think

I have time for this.

Oral defense

is approaching.

I don't have time for this, either.

Come on.

Adjust your schedule,

I'm sure you can make some time.

Didn't we

agree to continue

after the graduation?

We shall gain fame.

We've done this so many years,

but who knows us?

Many musicians

go to drink

in the bar

where we're going to perform at.

It's a good opportunity for us,

we must seize it.

Too late.

I'm about to graduate soon.

I can't take the risk.

Sorry.

You really want to leave?

Ever since you broke

up with Qiu Letao,

you've rejected

many business performances.

Remember

the graduation party?

What a mess you made!

The truth is

that it's you

who wants to disband it,

not us.

They were right.

I'll just be

a wandering singer afterwards.

What have I learned

in the four years here?

Nothing?

Letao broke up with me.

The band was dismissed.

My major was neglected.

I've got nothing left.

You regret for that?

Look,

if you have a chance

to choose again,

Letao and Xu Menglu,

who's your choice?

Letao.

Of course I'll choose her.

Bottoms up.

Hi, Cheng Lang.

I chose a silk scarf

which fits aunt,

I think she'll like it.

I have faith

in my girl's taste.

It must be terrific.

Look,

just wait for me to

run my new application.

I'll see you

in 30 minutes.

OK. Bye.

Anything else to say?

Lin You, it's me.

Hello?

Huang Jun?

This is

Guanda Records.

We've received

your new song.

In fact, we've been

following you 2 years ago.

2 years ago?

Tao. Tao.

Go away.

Are you insane?

Why're you in my way?

I want to ask you.

Did you

write to a record company?

You wrote many letters

to recommend my songs.

Right?

Perhaps.

I can't remember it.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because they didn't reply.

I was afraid you'd be upset.

Thinking about that now,

I used to be

too kind.

Tao, I was wrong.

It was all my fault.

I was stupid then.

- Tao. - Enough.

You've said

those things too many times.

It's pointless to say them again.

Huang Jun. We broke up

and we are going to graduate.

I hope we could

never see

each other again.

I really don't want

to see you again.

Tao.

Aren't you going to

rehearse with

the new comers this afternoon?

Why're you still here?

They have enough rehearsal.

So I don't

need to keep staying there.

Plus I'm going to

study abroad,

can't I spend

more time with you?

Let's watch a movie this afternoon.

This afternoon?

I have an appointment with Ms. Liu.

We're going to

discuss background processing.

I'm afraid

it'll take a long time.

Let me go with you.

But you might be

bored there alone.

Why have you become

clingy to me lately?

Cheng Lang. I want...

I want to be with you all my life.

Me, too.

We're in public.

Come on.

It's mine.

Ms. Liu's calling me.

I have to go.

Let's go shopping tonight.

All right.

I'll stay here to do some reading.

OK. See you tonight.

Lin You.

You didn't answer

my calls.

So I have to come here to see you.

I've got nothing to talk with you.

I know you'll be

an exchange student.

I was abroad before,

so I'm familiar with

the school you're going to.

I can help you.

I don't need it.

My boyfriend can

arrange everything for me,

Don't worry.

I'm sorry for

what I've done to you.

No need to say that.

I should thank you.

Thank you for leaving me,

so I could meet

a good guy like Cheng Lang.

Please

never show up

in front of me.

Lin You.

What's wrong with your hand?

You

don't know about my injury?

Please enjoy.

Thanks.

I had an accident abroad

and the tendon was lacerated.

I was treated in many hospitals

but in vain.

Now it'll shake

if I use strength.

Can you still play the piano?

I haven't played it for a while.

I changed my major to Composition.

When did those things

happen?

Still remember

the time I wanted to leave you?

It was the bottom

of my life.

I thought I was a loser

who couldn't make you happy.

I didn't want to burden you.

So you were lying

when you said

you had a girlfriend?

I thought it'd be the best for you.

The best for me?

Am I such

a vain snob who can't share

weal and woe

with you in your eyes,

right?

I've been wondering

what mistake had I made

to make you

leave me.

Don't cry.

Hi, Tao.

You bought kebabs?

You know me so well.

They're my favorite.

OK. Wait for me.

I'll be back soon.

Bye.

I don't blame you

for leaving me.

But during

the long 2 years,

you just cared about your own suffering

and ignored my agony.

It's too late for you

to come around now.

I have Cheng Lang already.

I can't hurt him.

If I explained it

to you earlier,

would you forgive me

and come back to me?

But you didn't do that.

What's on your mind?

You're not eating.

Still thinking about Shiyi?

I saw Lin You today.

She knows

CL is Cheng Lang?

No.

She was with Yuan Ancheng.

Yuan Ancheng's back?

Did...

Did you see it wrong?

I didn't. It was Yuan Ancheng.

Will you tell it

to Cheng Lang?

Forget it. Don't do that.

If you tell him,

you will be

like a rat.

Yeah.

It'll stir up trouble

between them if I tell him.

Is Lin You still

attached to Yuan Ancheng?

I suppose not.

Lin You will go to Cheng Lang's home

to meet his mom tomorrow.

Why did Yuan Ancheng

choose this time to come back?

I had an accident abroad

and the tendon was lacerated.

I was treated in many hospitals but in vain.

What's wrong with your hand? Let me see it.

Nothing. I played the piano so long

that it got sore.

Then stop.

Let me rub it.

I'm fine.

Let's go back to the dorm for the silk scarf

and go home to eat.

Come on.

I don't want to go abroad.

Why?

What's up?

I don't want to leave you

and go to a place so far away.

I'm afraid something will happen.

Relax. It's safe there.

Plus I have a classmate there.

Let me introduce her to you,

so you can take care of each other.

Little fool, I promise

I'll go to see you when I'm free

and I'll call you

every night.

Let's go.

Xiaoju.

Where's Lin You?

Didn't you agree to

come back together?

She said she'd go home to get changed

and come later.

So I can get prepared.

How are you doing recently?

What?

Why are you asking?

I'm just asking.

We're fine.

You must be fine.

You?

You made up with Shiyi?

Xiaoju,

I hope you two

can be fine, too.

Shiyi is just

mean in the mouth.

But he likes you so much.

Just cherish him.

I see.

I shall go home now.

OK.

Mom, I'm home.

Hi, Lang.

What a good smell!

You prepared so many dishes.

It's her first time here.

We have to be well-prepared.

Besides,

I don't know

Lin You's favorite.

There must be something she likes

if I make more dishes.

My mom's so experienced

and considerate.

You're so honey-lipped

to flatter me.

When will Lin You come?

Will she be here soon?

I suppose so.

Prepare the dinnerware.

I should start to

cook.

Thank you, aunt.

You came at a bad time.

Lin You hasn't been back yet.

I'm not here to see Lin You,

but you.

Why did you want to see me?

I really hope I can make it up with Lin You.

So I want to gain your recognition.

I hurt her because of my clumsiness

after the accident.

Then you objected to our reunion.

I know what you felt at that time.

You did that for Lin You's sake.

Ancheng.

I had a failed marriage.

As a mother,

I don't want Lin You

to have the same experience.

So when you called me

to say you were injured

and couldn't play the piano,

I didn't want you

to be together any longer.

Then I concealed

the fact of your injury.

Do you blame me for that?

Lin You, you're back?

He did call you before?

Mom, how could you do that?

How could you not tell me?

She didn't answer?

Did she forget to bring the phone?

Let me wait outside,

maybe she's close.

Just wait here, mom.

Lin You. Lin You. Lin You.

Lin You. Wait.

Lin You.

Lin You, listen to me.

Listen to me.

It was my fault.

It was my fault.

I'm sorry.

I've been mistaking you.

You haven't.

I was the reason for those things.

I left you.

Though I regretted for it soon,

it was still my fault.

I should thank aunt.

If she didn't object to

our reunion then,

I wouldn't have changed my mind

to accept new treatment

and changed my major.

- Then... - No need to comfort me.

I know what you've been through

in the past 2 years.

Piano mattered

to you so much,

yet you had to give it up.

I know how it feels.

It's the past.

Am I alright now?

But I knew

nothing about it

when you needed me the most.

You were all alone abroad

without any support.

If I knew it earlier,

I would...

I'm sorry.

I don't know

what else to say

but sorry.

You said that

if I could change my mind

and explain it

to you earlier,

then you'd forgive me.

Now the misunderstandings

are all clarified.

Could you give me

one more chance?

It's OK.

It's OK.

I won't push you.

I'll accompany you

and wait for you.

No matter how long it takes.

- You bastard. - Cheng Lang.

Cheng Lang.

I'm warning you.

Stay away from her!

Cheng Lang, let him go.

Let him go, Cheng Lang.

Don't touch him.

His hand was injured.

How's your hand?

It's fine.

Lin You.

What are you doing?

I...

What are you doing?

No, I...

I...

Cheng Lang. Cheng Lang. Cheng Lang.

- Lin You. - Cheng Lang.

- Lin You. - Cheng Lang.

He's still mad.

Give him some time to chill.

Come in.

What's up?

Did you see Cheng Lang today?

No.

Lin You is supposed to eat at his home.

I think they're hanging out

after the supper.

That's impossible.

I've kept watching today.

Lin You didn't go

to Cheng Lang's home.

Xia Xiaoju,

what's the matter with you?

They've began to meet

each other's parents,

why didn't you give up yet?

Didn't give up?

What're you thinking about?

I saw

Yuan Ancheng came back.

Who? Yuan Ancheng?

Yeah.

Dose Cheng Lang know this?

I didn't tell him,

so I don't think he knows it.

I occasionally

saw them in a cafe

a couple of days ago?

Then why didn't you tell him?

How could I

tell Cheng Lang about it?

No.

Cheng Lang

has to know this.

Or that fool

is still in the dark.

So you knew it already.

- Cheng Lang. - Cheng Lang.
