[Breath of Destiny]

[Episode 31]

Xin Lu.

The domestic parcels are here.

Da Bang and I will get it from Bai.

-All right. -I'll be right back.

Okay.

I'll attend to the patients in Internal Medicine Department this noon.

Dr Zhou.

Actually, there are not many patients for this afternoon.

Besides, you're in charge of the O&G Department.

So...

Isn't Leader Huo taking care of Internal Medicine Department?

I've got nothing to do anyway.

I'll lend him a hand so that he can rest.

All right.

Look at our Sis Yue.

What's it called?

She embodies the brilliance of humanity.

I have nothing but admiration for Sis Yue.

-Are you teasing me? -No.

Dr Zhou, I'll arrange afternoon shift for you, then.

Thank you.

Isn't that Director Li's shift?

Director Li

is on leave again.

Huh?

What is Brother Dan up to?

He's on leave during the daytime and do things at night.

I stay next door.

And I hear sounds coming from his room every night.

I can't even sleep well.

Oh yeah, Sis Yue.

He said that he's leaving.

Aren't you going to talk to him and make him stay?

Well, Da Bang is waiting for me. Talk to you later.

Where is Sis Yue headed?

Buy's Metro.

Your parcels are here.

Parcels?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Quick, take a look.

Sis Yue.

My ex-girlfriend sent me a parcel.

Joe.

Does that professor come to the village all the time?

He comes here often.

This is what I heard from others.

That professor walks around in the neighbouring villages when he's free.

Maybe it's because

Linshui Village is close to the research institute

that he always comes here.

He's a foreigner. Who is here with him?

Xu.

Mr. Qiao's personal assistant.

I'm telling you, he's really something else.

On the surface, he seems like a quiet person.

He's actually very cruel.

Once there was this hooligan who messed with Mr Qiao.

Without saying anything, he and a group of people

went to his place to tear down his door and smash his furnitures.

The whole place was full of red paint.

And that hooligan dares not come back here again.

-He's that kind of person? -Yes.

Well...

Has that professor ever been to Shan and Lin's place?

Definitely.

He was with his personal assistant

and said he's going to

rent their banana plantation for herb planting.

Wait.

Why did the professor deal with that by himself?

Is that strange?

Is it strange if you're asked to study drugs at the research institute?

I can study motorbikes.

Exactly.

I'll get going.

We're family. Stay for dinner.

No, I've got something on.

He's always busy.

-Wow, there are so many people here. -Dr Zhou.

Just give me the bill. I'll go take it.

-Do you need my help? -It's okay.

Great, we can finally buy something.

And mine.

It's all because of the quake.

-Brother Bang. -Xiao Bai.

Come, give me the bill.

Get out of the way!

Get up.

-Get mine first. -Wait.

Hey!

Don't you understand what I mean?

Get mine first!

It's okay, Xiao Bai.

Get Mr Xu's first.

Mr Xu.

Dr Zhou.

Mr Xu.

You're here for the parcels?

Yes.

I'll get going.

Handle with care!

I'm sorry.

Go away!

Bye-bye, Dr Zhou.

Excuse me.

Thank you. It's such a long queue.

It's all right.

Let me check the list.

All right, you'll do the checking. There are more.

Are there many of them?

We'll be done with it soon.

Thank you.

-Da Bang. -What?

I don't think this parcel belongs to us.

That's impossible.

The name of Xu Kan La is written on it.

It's Mr Xu's.

They got me the wrong parcel.

What do we do?

Let's send it to them now.

We'll send it to them.

-Sure. -Let's go.

Dr Zhou.

-What are you... -I'm sorry, Mr Xu.

We took your parcel just now. So we've sent it to you.

-Yes, we're sorry. -Just give it to me.

Don't you understand what I'm saying? Scat!

Da Bang.

Hey, Mr Xu.

We came to send you the box. But you didn't even say thank you.

It's okay, Dr Zhou.

I broke the box.

How about this? There's a tape in my car.

I can either fix the box

or compensate for it.

Can you afford to compensate for it?

Xu.

The box is not broken anyway.

You should head back first.

I think Da Bang didn't mean to do that.

Da Bang, be careful next time.

Okay.

Oh yeah.

Well...

Is there going to be a get-together for Mid-Autumn Festival?

Yes.

Sir.

Xu, take the packages inside.

I want to talk to you about something.

You should go back first.

Tian, you've got a minute?

Parcels only come once in four months.

How precious.

They smell of home.

The postal system here has always been poor.

There were an earthquake and epidemic prevention.

We should be grateful for receiving them.

It's so big.

High-power WiFi router.

-What? -We'll test it later and see if it works.

-That's good stuff. -That's great.

Leader Huo always cares about us.

My ancient WiFi router

is going to retire.

Here, silent.

I announce

the unboxing!

Let's unbox them!

Chinese boxthorn.

Lu'an Melon Seed.

Green tea with boxthorn.

Leader Huo takes care of his health.

Hot pot paste!

Awesome.

And there's poplar mushroom.

Cordyceps militaris.

Tofu skin.

Starting from today,

we won't have a hard time making soup and hot pot with two flavours.

Yes!

It's been a long time since I had hot pot. I've missed it.

It smells really good.

What's this?

Unbox it.

It looks so cute.

So adorable!

I came across it online.

Little Dumpling will love it for sure.

Here's a good stuff. It's a swimming ring.

Let me see.

They're so beautiful for their colours.

Little Dumpling is now the most sensitive to colour.

-This small toy can float, right? -Yes.

He can play with it when taking a night bath.

This is such a nice silk scarf.

Who was so kind enough to send you this?

That must be my mom.

A mother is worried about her child who is far away from home.

Try it on.

-It looks good on you. -It's very beautiful, isn't it?

Not bad.

It's nice because it's from my mom.

Wait, why are there wool socks?

-Look, there are so many of them. -Indeed.

There are long johns, too!

Wu.

Who is Luo Shu Hua?

She's

my ex-fiancée.

Fiancée?

Your fiancée treats you quite well.

I used to work on an ocean freighter.

Well...

I wasted her time.

She's now married with a son. And she's living a very happy life.

I'm happy for her. I mean it.

We're still friends even though we didn't end up getting married.

Right?

It's hand-knit, right?

His ex-wife thinks he's cold.

No, his ex-fiancée thinks he's cold.

I beg you.

Look, my son sent me a gift.

Isn't he a good son?

What is this?

Sis Hong, there's a card.

[Xiao Feng loves Xin Yi]

Dear Mom,

Xin Yi and I sincerely wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival

and a good health.

Son.

Their relationship Is moving too fast.

Dr Liao, what have you got there?

Books.

They're from my sister.

Here, look.

He's truly our top staff.

They're all books.

Dr Liao, a finger heart for you.

I'm doing it.

Learn from Dr Liao!

What's that smell?

Is it some rotten food?

It stinks.

I've got some stinky tofu here.

It's all leaked.

Stinky tofu from Nanjing.

Let me see. What do you have here?

Is that all there is?

A gift to make up with me.

To make up...

Wait, what do you mean?

When I applied to be a foreign aid worker,

she cried and asked to break up with me.

And now she regrets.

She says she should marry a superhero like me.

Wu.

You can have them all.

No, this won't do.

It really won't do.

No, I'm talking about the gift she got for me.

I didn't even ask for it.

These two remain intact.

Check

if there's any parcels for Director Li.

Dr Li.

Hello.

Hey, Xu.

Where is Thomas?

Mr Qiao is on a very important call.

He asked me to talk to you first.

Never mind, I'll wait for him.

It's okay.

If you have any questions, just ask me.

Well, it's something to do with the new drug center.

I'll ask him later.

Well...

Dr Li,

I have a question to ask you.

I heard that you're a genius.

Are you going to live as an ordinary doctor forever?

It's such a shame to waste your talent, you know.

Thank you for your concern.

I know Mr Qiao and you are brothers.

And he is my saviour.

He talks about good things

and I bad things.

Of course

that doesn't matter at all.

What matters is

you need to make up your mind.

Only by making up your mind

can you give up on

those unimportant things.

For example, Dr Zhou.

What are you trying to say?

Dr Zhou is a woman full of curiosity.

But it's a pity.

A woman full of curiosity is very dislikable.

Dr Zhou has nothing to do with what our business.

You're nervous, aren't you?

The more nervous you get,

the more miserable she gets.

You haven't forgotten about

the fake Hank, have you?

You're the ones who hired him.

Until now, Roy still doesn't understand

why he was introduced to a pirate

when he's trying to hire someone to mess up Friendship Hospital.

We never go soft on

those who get in our way.

Tell your Mr Qiao.

That I've left Friendship Hospital.

And Dr Zhou won't get in our way.

That's great.

Dr Li.

You must remember

what you said today.

I'm going to

report it to Mr Qiao now.

I'm sorry, I almost forgot about it.

Mr Qiao has something important to attend to tonight.

He's left just now.

Dr Li.

Turn in early.

Fate brought us all together. That makes us family.

How about this?

For the gathering of Mid-Autumn Festival,

each of us will give him a gift.

-What do you think? -Sure!

Okay, it's decided then.

Beautiful lanterns for sale. Sir, check them out.

These lanterns are very beautiful. Do you want to get one?

Beautiful lanterns for sale.

Miss, do you want to get one?

They're very beautiful.

Here, check it out.

-How much is this? -Two bucks.

-I'll have one, then. -Sure.

-I'll have a pink one. -Sure.

-Here. -Sure, thank you. Goodbye.

Beautiful lanterns for sale.

Come and check them out.

How is Auntie Hu...

She's gone.

My family is broken.

Fanny.

I asked you to help me with Dr Ge's problem.

But you told the police instead.

It's game over for my family.

And my mommy has passed away.

Who can I rely on?

Fanny, you went to university.

And you're still a lawyer.

You can support yourself.

Why would you rely on others?

I'm just a woman.

Who would believe me?

How many cases can I receive in a year?

As for Dr Ge's case,

if it weren't be for Anna,

would I have received it?

University?

Didn't you go to university, too?

And now you're back home.

You can go home if you're not happy being a doctor.

And me?

My home is gone.

Where can I go?

Sorry.

But

I don't think I've done anything wrong.

Everyone can say nice things.

You've never had a hard life.

You will never understand how difficult life is for others.

I have myself to blame for this bad life.

Why was I born in this terrible place?

Fanny.

-If you need any help... -What are you doing?

This is my mommy's portrait!

If it comes close to a red thing,

she won't rest in peace!

Check them out. Here, goodbye.

Sure.

Lanterns.

Check out these lanterns.

You're okay?

Dr Liao.

Are you all right?

Here.

How do you feel?

I'm okay.

Here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Here.

This might hurt a bit.

Hang in there.

Does it hurt a lot?

A little bit.

Why are you here?

It happens to be my day off.

Since the festival is around the corner,

I felt like doing some shopping.

I never thought I'd bump into you here.

Your hair is a bit messy.

Is it?

It looks okay now.

There's no way you can walk now.

How did you get here?

Xu sent me here.

But something came up and he's left.

I'll ask him to come and fetch me later.

How did you get here?

I came by Da Bang's car.

I may have to wait for Xu here for two-plus hours.

Two hours? That's a long wait.

Yes.

Let...

Sure, you'll send me home.

Let's go.

Sure.

Come.

Here, I'll hold them.

Come, go slowly.

Careful.

Slowly.

Wow.

You're living in such a big house alone.

-Careful. -Just carry me to the sofa.

Okay. Slowly.

I used to live at my brother's place.

I just moved into here two days ago.

-Here? -Yes.

Careful.

Go slowly. Slowly.

Slow...

-Are you all right? -I'm fine.

Do you need another ice pack for your leg?

This is no longer cold.

Do you have ice cubes?

I'll go get some.

There are some in the kitchen. In the fridge.

Just a moment.

Here.

Hang in there.

What your leg needs now is an ice pack.

After twenty-four hours,

it needs a hot compress.

Remember that.

Don't you forget that

I'm also a doctor. Okay?

I'll do it by myself.

Oh yeah.

Who's that girl?

Why did she push you like that?

That girl?

She's Fanny.

She's the illegitimate daughter of Uncle An's brother,

as well as Uncle Wen's attorney.

And she's the cousin of Anna who gave birth in hospital.

Their relationships are so complicated.

Zal Island is a small place after all.

And there are clear social boundaries.

Therefore, these people only mingle with those in their circles.

Women in Zal Island don't have much power.

So they can only rely on their families or husbands.

Although Fanny

is so dislikeable,

she's very pitiful.

As an illegitimate daughter living in Zal Island,

no matter how hard she works,

she will never succeed in life.

She must be very jealous of you.

After all, you're of different statuses.

We've never gotten along ever since we're young.

When Uncle Wen got into trouble,

Anna hired her as his attorney

so as to protect Roy.

She even asked me for the inside information of the hospital.

And I called the police.

That's why she hates me so much.

But on second thought,

I shouldn't call her to account for anything.

Because she's pitiful enough.

Since she's an educated lawyer,

why doesn't she leave here?

She's a filial child.

When her mom was still around,

she didn't have the heart to leave.

I think

she has some other plan now.

This is my hometown.

It's adorable,

pitiful,

and hateful.

Don't say that.

I think one should fight for his happiness.

Just like you.

A hardworking person like you

will surely get better and better.

Same goes to Zal Island.

You see, I've been here for only a few months.

And I think it's had obvious changes.

Then are you willing to stay?

It's getting late.

Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

Does it hurt?

Never mind.

I'm sorry.

You're now my attending physician.

You have to come tomorrow, too.

Huh?

You don't want to?

No.

You have to come the day after tomorrow, too.

You have to be every day until I recover.

Just take it as your extra shift.

Sure.

What? Is that too hard for you?

No.

I'm trying to figure out

how to get here every day.

I came by Da Bang's car today.

But I can't ask him to lend me his car every day.

I feel bad.

Should I ask for a small bike?

It's nearby the hospital. And I can come and visit you every day.

You're very silly indeed.

Xin Lu.

It's over there!

-Where? -There!

-Since I'm single, -Stop it, it'll get into the dining room!

I'm not going home.

Why aren't you going home?

I feel happy celebrating the festival here.

When I get home, I have to work like a maid.

I need to do everything.

And my mother-in-law always asks me

when I'm going to have a baby.

It's so annoying.

Xin Lu.

You're becoming a bad girl.

Now that

I have a proper job,

I am called

a career woman.

I can support myself.

I don't need to depend on others.

Indeed.

Da Bang.

Why didn't you ask the seller to butcher the chicken first?

Exactly.

I didn't buy it.

It's the domestic chicken from our place.

It's far better than the market ones.

Can they manage it?

-Careful. -How's it going?

Don't scare it. Slowly.

Where have you been?

I...

It's run off, again!

Where are they doing in there?

Forget about them. Where have you been?

-The chicken is over there! -Where?

Something came up.

-Block its way! -What are they doing?

Da Bang just brought back a chicken.

Wait.

They're trying to kill a chicken?

Why are we doing this again?

We can't manage it.

There're a few of us and we can't even catch a chicken. Look at my hand.

-There are scratches over it. -Hey! Bai is here!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Doctors, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Here's a gift from me.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

It's so noisy in there. What are they up?

They're trying to catch and kill the chicken.

Catch the chicken?

Do you know how to kill one?

I'm good at that!

Great! Quick, give us a hand!

Over there!

Hurry up, catch it!

Catch it!

Hey, Thomas.

[Hey, Daniel.]

[Listen. Since today is Mid-Autumn Festival,]

we invited Dr Jones over for dinner.

-[You're welcome to join us.] -What? Now?

Yeah, Dr Jones just got here.

And normally he just locks himself in the lab

and doesn't come out to participate in any festivals and stuff.

[Because Kelly worked her magic, we got him to come out.]

So, you should come.

Let me talk to him.

Hello, it's me.

Come over.

Cindy can't come. She's injured.

It's just the four of us.

I can't.

We're going to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival and...

[If you decided to come and join us,]

I think you should have the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner with us.

Plus, we have a lot of things to talk to you about.

All right.

Sure, see you later.

[Xiang Wan was right.]

[If you hadn't known me,]

[if we were just friends,]

[you wouldn't have gotten yourself into trouble.]

[I like to do dangerous things.]

[And I must find out the truth by myself.]

[Forgive me.]

-My Mala crayfish! -Look at this!

It's here!

Here, white cut chicken.

Shu Hui's soup is here, too!

Here, give it to me.

I've brought you bananas.

Hurry up, take your seat.

Da Bang. Here, have a seat.

My fellow doctors.

Thank you for seeing us as your family.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

-Yes! -Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Well...

As the moon shines brighter on the Mid-Autumn Festival,

everyone misses their loved one more.

Well...

Today, I wish

my fellow comrades and friends

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

-Here. -Yes!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Wait a second.

Leader Huo.

Someone is missing here.

Where is Director Li?

-Yes. -Goodness me.

I saw him this afternoon.

I'll give him a call.

Well, maybe the phone signal

is not working well.

That's why we can't reach him.

How about this?

Let's dig in. We'll call him later.

Here.

We can't waste Bai's prized wine.

Right? Here!

Here!

Wait a second.

It's Director Li.

He should just get down here. Why did he even send us a message?

Let's check out the message.

Here's how it goes.

Leader Huo

and my beloved colleagues.

I'm very sorry

for not being able to join the dinner.

I'm going to resign

as the director of Friendship Hospital.

Someone will take over from me as a new director soon.

I've got something to attend to today.

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

How could he leave just like that?

Is it because I talked back to him?

That's not the case.

-Rest assured. -It's not because of that.

We already cleared the air over that.

Wen Jin Shui and Wang could understand it.

He won't blame you for it.

It's okay. Sit.

Should I go to President Li's room and find him?

That's right.

No need.

Just leave it to me.

No wonder

President Li said weird things to Sis Shu Hui.

He said you needed to support

and help each other.

In fact, he already decided to resign back then.

And he just left like that. How cruel he is!

Xin Lu.

Maybe something came up in his family.

Perhaps

Director Li

has his reasons.

He didn't even receive a parcel.

He's got no family.

I think Xin Lu has got a point.

He's too cruel.

We even prepared him gifts.

And he's run off.

Xiao Cong.

Leader Huo is right.

Everyone has their own reasons.

Fate brought us all together.

And we met in the Zal Island.

That's a rare opportunity.

Here, Leader Huo.

Lead us. Let's have a toast together.

-Here! -Leader Huo.

Lead us. Let's have a toast together.

Leader Huo.

-I'll go check up on Zhou Yue. -Okay, go ahead.

This was Dr Xie's favourite wine.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival.

I miss him so much.

Let's drink to

Dr Xie.

To Dr Xie.

Have you reached him?

He's nowhere to be found.

And he's not picking up his phone.

Did you have another fight?

What happened?

Why would he resign just because we have a fight?

The thing is we didn't have one.

He's been acting strange lately.

And I don't know why.

He's

drifting away from me.

He no longer tells me where he goes.

And he doesn't greet people anymore.

I find him strange.

It's all right.

Maybe Li Tian Cheng

has his own reasons.

And what are the reasons?

It's all right, just say it out. Let's face it together.

If I can't solve it, you guys have his back.

But how could he do that?

He resigned and disappeared just like that.

Today is August 15th.

It's Mid-Autumn Festival.

Is his heart made up of flesh?

Or is it a carved stone heart?

Yeah.

No.

Yes, we're celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival. You...

Exactly.

It's Mid-Autumn Festival.

I'm talking about you.

Cheer up.

Why are you so sad?

I'll call him.

Okay?

Hello, Tian Cheng.

Are you all right?

I knew it. As long as you're okay.

Ask him where he is.

-Everything is good. -Didn't he promise me?

And why didn't he pick up my calls?

And he didn't reply to my messages on WeChat.

Ask him when he'll be back. I want to ask him what happened.

Ask him.

You...

He's not reachable.

You're crazy, Liao Yu!

I simply wanted to cheer you up.

We're celebrating a festival. Why are you so upset?

All right.

I'm okay.

Don't be a killjoy. Get back inside.

Are you really okay?

All right.

You should stop thinking about it.

Li Tian Cheng will be fine.

Anyway, I'm going to wait for him here.

If he comes back,

I'll definitely ask him what happened.

Okay.

I'll go back inside, then.

Stop thinking about it.

Hey.

Thanks.

You're crazy.

And after that...

After that,

you know,

I stayed on bed for two months.

Really. Really two months.

No shite.

And during that time,

I didn't want to see the bed anymore.

That's my story.

So,

they just want me to tell that story

so that they can laugh at me.

Well, you deserve it.

Well, from the sound of it,

now that you're here, it's good not just for Friendship Hospital,

but for yourself as well.

Exactly.

With Daniel joining our team,

we will achieve great success.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Hey. So,

do you really earn a lot money doing medicine?

We also have to invest a lot of money

and time.

Wow.

Sure.

So,

you're going to the top of pyramid.

The one that will stand on top of the pyramid

is the person

that will make the vaccine.

Vaccine?

It should take longer, right?

Yeah, of course.

A vaccine takes

at least ten years to develop

before it goes into market.

Five years of animal testing,

not even to mention the long period of human clinical trial.

It's very difficult.

It's not a profitable business.
