Next time, together forever

Episode 12

I remembered it.

What did you remember.

What’s wrong?

You scared me.

You scared me too.

What are you doing? Are you sick?

A pair of birds on the tree.

Green waters, green fields, smiling faces...

Pang Da Hai...

what’s wrong?

My back hurts.

Your back hurts?

Really?

- Really? - It hurts, it hurts.

My back hurts, don’t touch me.

It hurts.

I will help you to get up.

No, Su Yun.

Are we still not at your home?

We are, This is my home.

You are so dumb.

I will go back then.

What are you doing?

With you in such state,

I have to help you get some medicine.

That would not be good.

What do you mean?

Don’t act so shilly-shally.

Let’s go.

Let’s go.

You are not changing the shoes?

I want to drink beer.

Still want to drink?

I need to drink a bit more.

Do not blame for getting drunk.

It is not my fault.

I am not blaming you.

Qiu Yang,

Uhm...

chat with me for a bit.

Chat about what?

Why did you divorce?

You want to hear this?

I am really curious.

I am getting along with you these days.

I think you are a good person.

All right.

Which one do you want to hear about?

The one you were looking at with the affection

when were rehearsing that day

before we went to see Uncle Xiao.

I said

it was my ex-wife.

Which one?

First one.

She was also my first love.

The person I thought that could live with me for a lifetime

went to study abroad in the end.

She told me bye bye.

I have been waiting for a few years.

She never came back.

You still love her now.

What do you mean love?

But there are some memories

that I will never forget.

What about the second one?

The second one was even less reliable.

During our marriage

she bore a child of someone else.

At first I thought it was mine.

The reason for the divorce was

that she told me that is someone else’s.

The child was more than a year old when she left.

it was calling me “dad”.

How could so many bad things befall you?

It’s all right.

Who has no bad luck?

Have you not had it as well?

All right.

Your turn.

Tell me about your issues.

What can I say?

I have not been married yet.

Have you ever had a man you liked?

I had.

You had?

Then why are you not married?

When I wanted to confess to him,

he suddenly got himself a girlfriend.

It was on the day when you met me in Verona.

I understand.

Now I know

why you were in a bad mood that day.

We knew each other for five or six years.

I felt that I have a special kind of understanding with him.

We could read each other like an open book.

I hoped that he will marry me after some time.

That we will definitely be together.

He is someone

I have a problem to forget in my life.

Did you go to bed with him?

Of course not.

Why are you obsessed with him then?

Because he knows me better than any man.

Did he tell you that he wants to go to bed with you?

How can you have such awkward thoughts?

Do you not think that a man that treats you well

can have wretched thoughts towards you?

I don’t.

Let me help you to analyze that.

What you want is spiritual love.

You feel that only spiritual love is not wretched,

right?

I am curious,

if you really went to bed with him

would you still think he is that good?

Qiu Yang,

do you have to discuss this with me?

You do not have to be shy.

We are adults.

I just want to tell you

that if someone holds hands with you,

it does not mean he will be responsible for you.

Or that if someone is going to bed with you

he will have to marry you.

It is you who think that way

and that is why the ones you like choose other women.

It is you who has to go to bed with me.

You are always mentioning it

I think you're suggesting something to me.

What do you really want to imply?

Do you think I am very wretched?

Yes.

Are you a normal woman?

Even if I am not normal, I am more normal than you.

At least I have not been divorced.

Then have you ever had a boyfriend?

Of course I have.

You mean those blind date’ guys,

including the one that gave you the earrings?

I told you

that I had one.

My first love.

I told you about my boyfriend of five years.

I told you about him at the bar last time.

Yes. I remember it now.

You remember?

I remember.

So you do remember

what you told me at the bar last time.

You remember.

I remember.

Then do you remember that we kissed afterwards?

I am asking you,

do you really remember it?

I do not remember.

You are lying.

I am not.

♫ Slowly.

♫ I am slowly falling in love with you, I slowly cannot leave you♫

♫I am not facing these ups and downs alone…♫

Yes, mom?

Sheng Xia...

why is your face so red?

There is no air conditioning.

There seems to be someone next to you.

Not at all.

What’s that sound?

Sheng Xia

You never lie.

Turn the video over and let me see.

There is no one, really mom.

I am here, auntie.

It’s Qiu Yang.

Why are you at Sheng Xia’s home so late at night?

Sheng Xia met with her colleagues tonight.

She drank some wine.

I have just sent her home.

It is really late.

You should go home.

In our area

if a man and a woman met after nine o’clock,

people would start gossiping about the,

I know.

I will leave right away.

Auntie, do not worry.

I am leaving right now.

Goodbye, auntie.

Mom...

Sheng Xia,

tell me the truth.

Are you two living together?

No.

Look, he is leaving already.

Did you see it?

He went through the door.

Sheng Xia,

you were a very obedient since childhood.

It is not that I have any feudal ideas.

A girl needs to know how to protect herself.

How to maintain her integrity.

This stays unchanged for any area.

If you are really good together,

you should certify it.

Mom...

uhm...

the battery is running low.

It has started the alarm.

I will call you tomorrow.

Bye bye.

I drank a bit too much today.

When I wake up tomorrow,

I will not remember anything.

Goodnight.

Pang Da Hai, take off your pants.

What?

Take off your pants.

I want to give you some medicine.

I hurt my waist.

Why are you taking off my pants?

Look, Pang Da Hai, do you have a problem?

I want to give you medicine, why are you fidgeting?

Come.

What are you doing?

I am giving you medicine, what else do I do?

No. Let go, Su Yun.

Anyway, the pants stay on.

You cannot only smear it atop.

Pang Da Hai, I am not as indecent as you.

No, you want to do it again.

Su Yun, let go.

If you do do it again, I’ll...

You’ll do what?

Commit suicide?

Pang Da Hai, I really cannot stand you.

You are fidgeting like a girl.

You are really drunk.

Su Yun,

what do you mean?

What fidgeting like a girl?

Still getting angry...

Little Ponzi...

Staying pure and innocent for twenty-eight years.

Pang Da Hai.

Why are you running away?

Who is it?

All right, all right. I am coming, coming, coming.

Stop knocking.

Qiu Yang is living next door, right?

Is he not at home?

You… who are you?

I am his daughter, my name is Tao Tao.

Qiu Yang?

Qiu Yang!

Your daughter came to see you.

Where is that daughter of mine?

Daddy.

Your daughter is so big.

What do you mean big?

Who are you?

You cannot just grab anyone and call him daddy.

Is the person on the photo not you?

You are Tao Tao.

Gu Xiaoman is my mom.

I am your daughter.

Listen to me.

I admit that on that photo...

that it is me on that photo.

But I am not your daddy.

You are.

You married my mom and she gave birth to me.

I was married to your mom

but you were not born of our union.

Do you understand?

You are lying.

Are you not willing to recognize me?

Your daughter came looking for you,

yet you still want to deny it.

Little girl, sit down first.

Where is your mom?

Did she also return to China?

She is in Dubai.

Does your waist still hurt?

It does not.

It does hurt a bit still.

Why do I get the feeling

that you sold yourself cheap...

Su Yun,

since things already have happened...

I know that all happened because of my impulse.

I am willing to take all the responsibilities.

Enough, enough, Do not worry.

Let’s hurry up.

It is eight o’clock. I am going to work in a minute.

You are leaving so soon?

Yes, yes, yes. I need to go to the hospital.

Then… I will be going first.

If there is anything, call me.

Gu Xiaoman,

Are you aware that Tao Tao is here?

Tao Tao went looking for you?

Yes. She is here.

And when she saw me, she called me daddy.

What exactly is going on?

Qiu Yang,

please send Tao Tao back to my aunt's house as soon as possible.

My aunt just called me

and said that Tao Tao is gone.

She was really mad.

Are you in Dubai now?

What kind of a mother are you?

You bring your child to the country,

you run abroad.

Do you know how dangerous it is to lose a child?

Qiu Yang, you do not have to berate me.

Please, send Tao Tao back first.

Is it here?

Why is there nobody in?

Is your aunt at home?

I do not know.

Tao Tao,

you are finally back.

Your aunt had an urgent heart disease.

She is in a hospital.

Your aunt is fine already

but the hospital made her stay for observation.

She definitely cannot take care of the child.

Do you have any relatives here

that could help out?

You know I don’t.

Then immediately buy the plane ticket and return.

Qiu Yang, I am in Dubai.

I am getting married.

Your issues have nothing to do with me.

How about

you let the child's biological father take the child away.

Tao Tao has no father.

Qiu Yang, can you help me?

I cannot.

Gu Xiaoman,

am I your pony?

I have my own life and family.

You are not a sun

that the Earth should be turning around you.

This is not the case.

What do you want me to do?

I really cannot come back now.

One week.

I can only take the child for a week.

All right, thank you then, Qiu Yang.

There’s one more thing.

Find the time to sit with Tao Tao

and clarify her background.

Don’t let her always call me dad, all right?

I understand.

You said that you are not my dad.

Why should I come with you?

You have t have a place to stay.

Your mom just begged me to take you in.

I can stay in the hospital.

If you want that your aunt comes out of the hospital soon,

you should not mess around.

Get in.

Your mom is truly enjoying herself.

She threw you alone in Beijing and she is enjoying herself.

You are not allowed to talk about mom like that.

It was me that did not want to go to Dubai.

Why?

I did not want to see her new boyfriend in Dubai.

As long as your mom wants do do it,

children should not mix in the matters of adults.

He has more than a dozen wives.

He said he loves my mom the most in the United States.

I do not know how will it turn out after coming to Dubai.

I guess my mom will not be able to stand it.

Does he have more than a dozen wives?

Your mom just told me on the phone

that she is going to marry him.

She says that every time

but she never did so far.

It seems that you know your mom very well.

That is a given.

There are no secrets between us.

By the way,

that auntie that lives with you,

is she your wife?

How did you know the address of my home?

I found it in my mom’s photo album.

She wrote on the back side of each photo

where was it taken, what place, in what mood.

One photo is from the time when you first moved in.

There was the address above.

Actually, I haven’t lived there for a long time.

You are quite lucky.

If you came one month earlier,

you wouldn’t be able to find me.

I am hungry.

There is some milk here.

I just bought it.

I cannot drink milk.

I have to drink goat milk.

Where am I going to find you goat milk now?

Let’s try to make it easy.

Your mother will pick you up after a week.

This will not do.

I have to drink it every day,

otherwise, I cannot sleep at night.

Is this goat milk all right?

Whatever,

any goat milk will work.

Tao Tao?

Tao Tao!

Jing Jing!

It is mine!

I had it first!

I had it first!

- This is mine! - What is going on?

I saw it first!

It was me who saw it first!

It was me who saw it first!

Enough, enough, enough!

Who saw it first?

- Me! - Me!

How about this.

In fact, it does not really matter who saw it first.

If you cannot get this one,

can you not buy another one?

There is only one doll in this mall.

It is mine!

Mine!

I saw it first!

It was me who saw it first!

How about this, how about this, how about this.

Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.

How about this.

You both know “paper rock scissors” game, right?

Yes.

Play it now

Whoever wins,

will get the doll, all right?

Paper rock scissors

paper rock scissors.

Paper rock scissors.

I won!

I won!

Jing Jing, give it to the little sister, all right?

Jing Jing, give it to her.

Do not cry, do not cry.

here. You can buy it.

Although you lost

but

you also cried.

Take it.

All right. Let’s go.

But it was me who won it.

Uncle Qiu Yang will buy you another one.

But they all said

this was the only one.

You can belie uncle Qiu Yang’s words.

I will buy you an identical one.

Let me take a photo of it.

All right, you can go. Everything’s fine.

Jiang Jiang, thank your little sister.

Thank you.

All right, all right.

Is it possible to act unreasonable only if one cries?

I am going to cry then too.

It was crealy unreasonable.

Look, you are a girl.

Why can't you be quiet for a while?

Why are you not fond of

some kind of furry toys...

something ladylike...

but are determined to play a ball?

because I only have this ball.

If you buy me that doll

I promise I will be quiet.

Why do you like that doll so much?

I used to have an identical doll.

It was my dad who sent it to me.

Later, my mom got a new boyfriend.

After he got drunk,

he always loved to fight with my mom.

He accidentally broke my doll one day.

When we moved later,

my mom took all the broken dolls

and threw them away.

She said that my dad will buy me a new one

but I have never received it.

All right, I understand.

Do not worry,

I will definitely buy it for you.

Can you be quiet now?

All right.

Keep your word.

I will.

Sheng Xia...

You were late today,

are you all right?

I am fine.

What kind of stupor did you just get into?

What do you think about?

Da Hai,

tell me...

what kind of emotions does a man have

for his ex-wife?

Although I am a man,

I am not married.

I am not sure about it.

Why are you suddenly asking about this?

Qiu Yang’s ex-wife will return to China next time.

I am really curious.

Qiu Yang has an ex-wife?

Yes.

Have I not tell you about this before?

Did you not know about it?

I learned about it before I got married.

Then why did you agree

to marry someone that is already divorced?

This is really unfair towards you.

A 39-year-old man,

who has been in love, gotr married and then divorced

is something completely normal.

Moreover,

this was his last marriage.

It cannot influence our current relationship.

Sheng Xia,

I just thought about it.

The answer you were seeking from me,

requires specific circumstances, must be specially analysed.

Look,

there are many types of ex-wife in the TV series.

They all end differently.

I think we should find a place to sit down

and analyse it really well.

I will give you some examples.

They are only playing in TV series.

You do not have to give me examples.

My mind is in a mess already.

yes, yes, yes. We should not add to it.

Tell me the truth.

Is Qiu Yang doing something fishy with his ex-wife?

How could it be possible?

His ex-wife has been in the United States.

They have not seen each other for a few years.

You...

Don’t think too much.

I just asked casually about it.

Sheng Xia, do not hide it from me.

If he does not treat you right,

I will not let him off the hook.

Qiu Yang , let’s have a meeting.

There is a child in here.

Whose child is this?

Go, go, go.

Gu Xiaoman came back?

No.

She went to Dubai to get married

and left her child here,

asking me to take care of her for couple of days.

She really doesn’t treat herself as an outsider.

Look, you are divorced.

She is still happily coming back to you.

Moreover, she was the one to put a green hat on you. (cheated on you).

Stop talking.

Qiu Yang,

you have to be careful when dealing with Gu Xiaoman.

You had more

the one failing out with her.

Exactly.

is what you said true?

I heard it myself.

How can it be fake?

But you have to admit

that this President Qiu is quite strange.

To have a child by his side,

would it not remind him

that he was cheated on before?

President Qiu wouldn’t think so.

He has always been a great person.

Even to a woman who hurt him,

he can still be very tolerant.

I think it would not be strange for him

to accept this child.

It is easy for you to say so.

If you were his real wife thought

you wouldn’t be so open-minded about it.

The user you have called is temporarily unavailable.

Please call again later.

Hello?

Hello? Pang Da Hai,

why are you hanging up my calls?

I just had a patient.

I was busy.

Then…. are you free tonight?

I am

What do you want to eat?

I do not have to eat anything special.

I will leave it up to you.

All right,

then I will set the place and date and send the details to you.

All right.

I will see you later then. Bye-bye.

Today’s meeting...

to sum it up...

It is mainly related to….

In order to mend this...

Brother-in-law,

can you drop by to the company?

Do me a favor.

Brother-in-law,

why did you bring the child home?

Have I not told you on the phone

to not let my sister know?

I know that

but I had nowhere to go.

I planned to make her leave

before your sister returns.

Let’s go, go go. Hurry, hurry, hurry.

What are we doing?

Let’s go back home.

Where did this child come from?

Sister...

Why are you coming with Sheng Xia?

Don’t change the subject.

We met on the road.

Where did this child come from?

My name is Tao Tao.

Tao Tao...

if you did not tell me that, I would have not recognized you.

Have you met me before?

Tao Tao,

children should not interrupt adults by talking.

This Gu Xiaoman...

Sister...

Gu Xiaoman said on the phone

that it is only for a week.

She will come and pick up Tao Tao after that.

She has no shame.

Sister,

originally, she wanted to send Tao Tao

to her maternal aunt.

Unfortunately, she got sick.

And we should deal with it?

There are no idle people in our family.

How about I do it?

All right, Tao Tao?

Stop joking.

Guo Guo is someone you should take care of.

This is another girl.

You cannot take care of her.

Nevermind, I will take care of her.

I will take her to work with me every day.

If after one week

Gu Xiaoman will still not come back,

I will personally send you to Dubai.

How about this?

Let me take care of Tao Tao.

Let Tao Tao be under my and Qiu Yang’s care.

You? Are you not going to work?

We will find a way.

Is it appropriate?

It is good that I am still not pregnant.

It will help me to develop some motherly feelings.

Tao Tao?

Come to play with me in the corridor.

Look at Sheng Xia.

She changed.

It’s your influence.

She yields to you in family matters.

She is much better than Gu Xiaoman.

Of course.

But, I am telling you,

we have to stay vigilant.

This Gu Xiaoman is truly scheming.

I do not know what is she planning this time.

Did you not hear Qiu Yang say

that Tao Tao called him dad the moment she appeared at his doors?

She is getting married.

She brought the child from the previous marriage to our house.

What child from previous marriage?

Since you do not know the whole situation,

you should not talk nonsense.

What nonsense?

What?

You never talk nonsense.

Come, Tao Tao. Come in.

Change your shoes.

I do not seem to have

any children slippers.

Is it alright if you wear those?

What else can we do...

let’s skip wearing them for now,

I will find you a pair of socks as well.

What is it?

I am going to use the time

to tell you about the rules in this house.

I will only say it once, make sure you remember them.

The first thing after coming home is to wash your hands and change your shoes.

You cannot eat anywhere except the table.

Keep everything you bring with you in order.

Do not mess around.

Do not litter.

You can only play with this outside.

You cannot play it at home.

Come. Come here.

I will give you a change of socks.

I am not done yet.

I can do it myself.

It is all right, I’ll do it.

Let’s give it a try.

All right.

Little feet.

You’ll get sweaty.

All right, give it a try.

Come back.

What now?

I have to remind you about the rules here.

Remember them.

The rules here are even stricter than the ones in the company.

So many rules!

Will it not be bothersome?

Even if it is, it cannot be helped.

Psychologically,

you need to feel that you are restricted by someone.

Do you understand?

You cannot run around,

especially not in the house.

What are you doing?

Setting the rules.

Tao Tao,

think of this place as your own home.

Whatever you want to do,

you do not have to restrain yourself.

Why are your standards towards her not equal to mine?

Why are you doing this to me?

This is so-called double standard.

If you are not satisfied...

you can always move out.

Right,

where should I live?

Where do you want to live?

I want to live there.

Living there

means you will have to live with me

No, I do not want to live with you.

You do not want to live with me?

have you not lived with me before?

I even hugged you, you know?

You said you hugged me.

When was it?

I lied to you.

In short, if you live in that house, you have to live with me.

No, I am used to live alone.

Tao Tao should live in that room.

I already decided.

You let her live in my room, where should I live then?

Should I move in with you?

You wish.

Sleep on a sofa.

The sofa is too narrow, I will fall.

You did not sleep on it yet, how do you know you will fall?

Sheng Xia,

even if you want to discover your motherly feelings,

you should not toss me out.

Tao Tao said

she is used to live alone.

Besides, it was her who chose that room, I did not force her.

What time do we have dinner?

What time?

You decide.

I am sorry, Su Yun, I am sorry.

Pang Da Hai,

you made me wait for you.

You do not know how unlucky I was.

My bike broke down.

I did not expect the bus to actually break down halfway.

I had to run over here.

You invited me to dinner.

Why could you not take a subway?

Subway costs 3 yan and bus is one yuan.

Spending two more yuans would kill you.

I am telling you, it was not about me being stingy,

do not misunderstand.

The bus is using the bus lane.

The subway is always overcrowded

and you still cannot reach your destination.

Is it not better to take the bus?

You still argue...

I am telling you,

you must be cured of your sickness.

I will cure you today.

Waiter, we want to order.

I have already ordered everything.

Let’s eat that first, we’ll order more if it is not enough.

What is wrong with you?

Why are you making decisions without asking me first?

Did you not say that you can eat anything?
