[My Dear Guardian]

[Episode 22]

I confessed my feelings.

It's so embarrassing!

Surprise!

Cut it out.

Aunt,

did you cross over here?

Liang Mu Ze, let's walk around.

Now?

Yes.

Isn't it a shame if we don't

walk around with such a nice dress?

Aren't you sleepy?

I'm not sleepy.

Didn't I take a nap just now?

I'm feeling great now!

Okay.

♫ It feels sweet whenever I think of you ♫

♫ Even the night breeze revels ♫

♫ The wind blows and the butterflies fly ♫

♫ They are in pairs in the bush ♫

♫ The night deepens, my longing intensifies ♫

♫ What do we mean to each other? ♫

♫ In the four seasons and to the ends of the Earth ♫

♫ The luckiest thing is to have you with me ♫

♫ The flower in our heart ♫

♫ Is slowly budding ♫

♫ Who is secretly speaking kindly to me ♫

♫ My dear you ♫

♫ Please be brave to dial ♫

Let go! Let go!

♫ This familiar string of numbers ♫

No, I'm running out of energy!

-Here. -Bring it on.

Three, two...

Mother, why can't it fly?

I don't know, perhaps we did it wrongly.

You messed up!

Dr Zhang.

Why are you here?

Perhaps it's destiny.

We meet again.

Come!

Don't touch my kite!

There's a problem with your kite.

How do you know that?

I'm a doctor. Of course I know.

Let me fix it for you.

Okay, you guys fix it.

I'll go get you some water.

Here, take this.

Let me take a look.

Can you do it?

Rest assured.

You were a tadpole

when I played kite.

A tadpole?

A frog's baby.

I know what the problem is.

Why am I a frog's baby?

You're not the baby of a frog.

I'll tell you later.

Drink your medicine.

I don't want to drink it.

The kite has to be fixed when it has a problem.

People should take

medicine when they are sick.

Can you guarantee that my kite

can fly after I drink the medicine?

Of course.

It's not only the kite,

you might also fly

if you

finish the medicine.

Okay.

Keep your words.

You have my words.

Slow down, don't choke yourself.

It's not bitter, right?

It's not bitter.

Okay, give it a try.

Okay.

Pull it longer.

Enough.

Enough.

Ready!

Okay, then.

Here. Ready, go!

Run!

It's flying!

Run!

Run and it will...

Feed the line!

Feed the line!

I can't ride anymore.

I shouldn't have listened to you to come here by bicycle.

We should've been here by now if we came by car.

Are you in a hurry?

I'm exhausted.

How can you operate

when you have such poor stamina?

I'm here to enjoy the cosy sunshine.

I'm not here to train with you.

Can't you let me relax

as it's hard to have a rest day?

Then just go home

and lie down on the sofa to read.

How pleasant it is.

So

are you jealous?

I'm not.

You are.

You're jealous.

I'm not.

You can't

lie to me, Liang Mu Ze.

You drank my water.

Yes.

What do you mean yes?

Which question are you answering?

Your water, I give it back to you.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

What are you doing?

Disinfect!

Zhang Yi Chi, you're so amazing!

You can fix everything.

Didn't I tell you?

I'm an old player in kite-flying.

Can you fly kites with me in the future?

Can you fly kites with me in the future?

As long as you're willing to.

Xiao Jun,

the question

you asked me last time

about marrying your mother.

To be honest,

I hope that

I could be this fortunate.

I know

luck is for those who are prepared.

So I plan to

show my utmost sincerity and

get along with her

in ways that

she prefers and comfortable with.

As for the result,

I have no idea too.

Even if you ask your mother

about this question,

she doesn't know the answer either.

Give us some time,

okay?

What if I say no?

If you say no,

I'll tear this string apart.

Don't.

Don't do it.

I'm just kidding.

Just come to me if you have

any problem.

Okay.

You take it.

Pull it tight.

Okay.

Pull it tight.

It's tight.

Take a rest.

Okay.

What are you writing?

A film script.

A script?

It's a job recommended by my friend.

It's a story about the comeback

of a single mother

as a wedding gown designer.

Comrade Chen Meng Zhen,

how many secrets do you have that I'm unaware of?

Dr Zhang, thank you.

Thanks for coming to play with Xiao Jun.

So that I can free up some time to write this.

I'm not here just to accompany Xiao Jun.

It doesn't matter

as long as you're attentive.

It must be

tough to take care

of a kid alone, right?

It was a bit hectic at first.

I got used to it as time went by.

Actually, sometimes,

it's not that Xiao Jun needs me,

but I need him instead.

It's Xiao Jun who makes me have a

deeper bond with this world.

When I wake up,

I'll find myself being fearless.

I didn't expect it was my child

who taught me to be brave.

Isn't that incredible?

Sometimes, Xiao Jun and I don't seem like a mother and a son.

We're more like friends.

For me,

he is a

great child.

I hope that I am

a good mother to him too.

You've done great

as a first-time mother.

I think so too.

You eat it.

Take it.

The kite got loose!

Hurry, get it!

Just take a rest if you're tired.

Seems like

it's easier to cheer

a woman up by provoking her

than encouraging her.

What do you mean?

Be careful!

Are you all right?

Liang Mu Ze?

Xiao Jun?

Mr Zhang?

You guys...

What a coincidence!

Is this an encounter?

He said it was destiny that sent him here.

And he said

I'm the son of a frog.

I...

I'm here to fix this kite.

Look.

Dr Zhang is quite idle.

Captain Liang,

you're quite idle too.

Mother, I want to drink water.

Okay, I'll take you there.

Dr Xia.

Dr Xia, what do you want to drink?

Mineral water will do, thank you.

Okay.

Didn't you have one already?

It's poisoned.

What do you two want to drink?

-I'll go with you. -I'll go with you.

What?

You just ride the bicycle with me.

-I'll go buy the water. -Just

let Mr Zhang go with Ms Meng Zhen.

Right.

I'll go with you.

Okay.

I'm reliable.

Let's go!

Xiao Jun, let's go.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Xia Chu, don't be this childish, okay?

What do you mean by that?

Is it childish to blow bubbles?

I like it, it's none of your concern.

I'm talking about Zhang Yi Chi and Meng Zhen.

You stay out of it.

It's not your concern too.

I know Zhang Yi Chi.

His love life is too complicated.

He doesn't want to get married just because he has to.

He wishes to find his true love.

Is that wrong?

Right, it's not wrong.

But Meng Zhen can't be the cost of his trial-and-error.

If you don't try it out,

how will you know if it's right or wrong?

For some men,

it's enough to be friends with them.

They are not suitable to be a lover, it's too dangerous.

Nothing is more dangerous than being a special forces soldier.

If it's wrong to be dangerous,

then what does the love between Ms Meng Zhen

and your comrade mean?

Was it wrong?

And

Liang Mu Ze,

as you're a special forces soldier,

what kind of man are you?

I'm talking about Zhang Yi Chi.

Don't turn this on me.

Obviously you're too subjective.

No matter it's Zhuo Ran or Zhang Yi Chi,

you're biased against my mentor and friend.

I tell you what.

Zhang Yi Chi is my friend too.

Don't compare him to Zhuo Ran, get it?

You don't have the right to make the decision for your friend.

I didn't make decisions for him.

I just dissuade him in good faith, okay?

They are not suitable, understand?

Being suitable may

give us a right relationship

but it will never explain how love happens.

Being suitable means nothing to love!

The water is here.

Get off.

We're here.

Slow down.

[Passer-by Bookstore]

Wash your hands first.

Okay.

He has been smiling all day long.

You've worked hard today.

No, I'm happy too.

It's been a while since I've been so happy.

Just now...

Right.

Mu Ze told me that

you saved his life.

So he'll help you if you

have any problems.

Similarly,

he knows

what kind of woman is suitable to be your partner.

He considers you a friend

and speaks bluntly.

Don't mind him.

Are you comforting me?

I think your greatest virtue

is being considerate.

I really admire that.

Okay, then.

You're always welcome to my book store,

I'll give you discounts.

I'll come here

every day as long as I'm free.

Okay.

How much do you think they heard?

I don't know.

Mu Ze, I have a good news and a bad news.

Which do you want to hear it first?

Good news.

[Aunt already knew you kissed Xia Chu.]

She is very pleased with your progress.

What about the bad news?

[She happens to be here for work]

[and she is currently at home,]

[preparing for your second renovation.]

You keep her calm first.

Okay.

My mother is here.

Don't forget that you're my girlfriend.

Even after talking back to me just now?

You think you're right and

I think I did nothing wrong.

I don't know what to say

aside from shelving disputes.

Before going out today,

you did that to me

to make Liang Shao Xue

believe in our relationship,

right?

Is that what you think?

I prefer to get

a precise answer than a rhetorical question.

Xia Chu.

Don't try to sweet-talk me.

Liang Mu Ze, do you like me?

What about you?

I don't.

I do.

And then?

I'm sorry.

Are you apologizing

to write off everything that happened

today?

I apologize because I made

you uneasy.

You can choose to break down my unease.

You know you can do it.

I can't.

This is the best I can do now.

Why?

[Why do you hesitate?]

[Is the list of redeployment confirmed?]

Is it about the military information that you need to keep secret?

Yes.

Well, so much

for your affection.

Xia Chu.

Look at you.

You've always been this

obnoxiously rational.

But

maybe this is the real you.

I accept your apology.

Liang Mu Ze,

don't ever mess with me.

What happened?

These are my plates.

Who threw them out?

I have no idea.

Aunt, you can't do this!

You can't take this away!

Why not?

Didn't you hear what the master said?

You can't raise this cat anymore!

Give it to me!

You guys hurry back!

I can't do this anymore!

You guys are back!

So this is how you keep her calm?

How can I keep her calm?

You're Xia Chu, right?

You're prettier in person.

It's really rare.

Aunt, I'm flattered.

You guys are finally back.

It's harder than I thought.

Hello, aunt.

Hello.

Have you registered for marriage?

No.

We only went to the seaside.

That's good.

Xia Chu, let me tell you.

Marriage should

be taken seriously.

You can't listen to Meaty about this matter.

Meaty?

Meaty is Mu Ze.

He only ate meat when he was little.

He was a fat boy until fifteen years old.

Right, brother?

Xia Chu, I tell you what.

About you and Meaty, I...

Why did you bring these cutlery back?

Aunt,

these cutlery are fine, they are still usable.

I'll buy you a new set.

You can't use these anymore.

It's all right.

Who told you they're not usable?

Liang Mu Ze!

Why did you hold the cat?

Put the cat down!

Liang Mu Ze, I tell you what!

Liang Mu Ze, put that cat down!

You can't hold this cat, it has fleas!

Aunt, you can rest assured.

I've de-wormed it.

That's useless. It's still dirty.

You can't raise it.

Come, give it to me.

Meaty!

I tell you what.

I have found an adopter.

It's one of my friends in Ningjiang.

They have many cats in their house.

What a relief!

You guys are busy working every day.

How can you guys take care of it?

It's good for either side to send it away,

right?

You know nothing!

You're really stubborn!

What is this?

What are you pulling out?

It's a tapping device.

You didn't

install this, right?

Of course not.

I handed the tapping device to the technical department.

They said it's a professional device.

Yes, the installation technique was professional too.

We searched everywhere

that day.

But we didn't expect

he'd put the bugging device in the cat's collar.

Thank you.

Did you leak any confidential info?

No.

This is the basic military capacity.

After leaving the military camp,

my chat context is only about my life.

Moreover, I'd taken

preventive measures that day after I

suspected someone broke into my house.

Good.

Did you check the camera footage of the district?

I checked it on the day.

Nothing was found.

Who do you think it might be?

Zhuo Ran.

He asked someone to switch

the sleeping pills which Xia Chu gave to me.

But based on what he said,

he didn't know the pills were for me.

He did it out of

his concern for Xia Chu.

I certainly never believed in his explanation.

But I don't understand.

Because Xia Chu improvised

the pills for me the night before.

The pills happened to be

switched the next morning.

And I found this tapping device today.

All I could think is him.

Do you guys have any history

before the pills were switched?

I wouldn't call it that.

Just that

he was Xia Chu's first love.

Xia Chu

is currently staying in my house.

So you think

he did that for Xia Chu.

I find no other reason.

Mr Zhuo?

You're here.

Did you ask someone to keep an eye on him

after the medical forum?

I did.

But this guy has high vigilance.

Our man got ditched a few times.

According to the information available,

we only know that he

frequently travelled between Ningjiang and Dong'an.

But we didn't know where he went

and who he met.

He went to Dong'an?

[Mr Zhuo,]

Is it reliable about the matter of a paymaster

is going to start a pharmaceutical company in Dong'an

that you'd mentioned before?

Of course.

Professor Xia already agreed

to be our technical consultant.

Teacher agreed?

It's currently in a confidential phase.

When the conditions are right,

his inauguration will be announced.

No wonder.

No wonder what?

He sent an email to me via his personal mailbox.

Asking me to send him the data of a kind

of sedative in the current clinical trial.

I thought there was something wrong.

I thought his email was hacked.

You are the apprentice whom he's most proud of.

He certainly wishes to take you with him

if he leaves the institute.

Then...

Then he should tell me in advance.

He even intentionally got mad at me

and asked the security to talk to me.

What was all that about?

Professor Xia has his own difficulty.

The point is there are many

inexplicable things in the current phase.

There will be many gossips

especially in your institute.

We should follow the procedure.

You're right.

But I didn't expect

teacher would leave too.

Who wouldn't leave

if there's a way?

Dr Tang, I'm not going to deceive you.

This is a factory building contract

in two copies.

Take a look.

Let's sign the contract if you think it's applicable.

We'll discuss the rest later.

Mr Zhuo,

the consultation fee is 100,000 dollars per month?

This is the fee for the preliminary preparation.

We'll pay you immediately

after you sign the contract.

This is for your first month.

After the factory is built,

it'll be adjusted according to your

personal performance.

The greater the contribution,

the higher the wages.

Did teacher already sign this?

He did.

After all,

your institute is only a platform.

It's obvious that we can give you

more than the vanity title

it gives you.

I kept reviewing the background of this guy

but nothing wrong was found.

What about the 3D printed gun?

Currently,

there's no proof that

he downloaded and printed it.

Moreover,

he happened to have an alibi

on the night Gui died.

Any clue at Yunshan Tunnel?

Perhaps we were too late.

The transaction parties had escaped.

Or it might be false information.

We set up roadblocks and

conducted searches

but no suspected

transaction parties and cars

were found.

Uncle Rao,

Xiao Xue was at

Yunshan Tunnel that night.

She said she dozed off

and Zhuo Ran saved her

and brought her to the hospital.

Zhuo Ran?

He saved Xue

at Yunshan Tunnel?

Yes.

Why?

Based on what he said,

it was because Xue

wore Xia Chu's clothes.

That's strange.

If he was one of the transaction parties,

his behaviour was

tantamount to exposing himself to

the sight of the police.

What if Xue didn't doze off

but witnessed the whole process?

Isn't he afraid?

Some people are born to be a gamester.

Right.

[Erasing any trace]

[after killing someone]

[is a kind of disguise.]

[It might be an]

[advanced method to hide oneself]

[by fully exposing]

[oneself to light.]

[Just keep an eye on him.]

I'm sure there's another move coming.

And given everything we know,

Xue and Xia Chu can't stay in

my house anymore before the infiltrator is captured.

We have to make other arrangements for them.

It's not as simple as making

arrangement for Xue and Xia Chu.

A tapping device was installed in the house

of a military officer of Special Forces Brigade.

It's a big deal.

We have to find out the identity

of the infiltrator and his purpose as soon as possible

to avoid further losses.

I already informed your unit.

Brigade Commander Dong will be here tomorrow.

Let's have a brief meeting

and go through all the information.

Okay.

[Those pills were for me.]

[He didn't know that.]

[Then how did he know you had these pills?]

Miss Lan.

[Girl,]

are you having relationship with

Liang Mu Ze?

[No.]

Then why did Aunt Mu Min

call to congratulate me and

[address me as her in-laws?]

His mother asked him to go on blind dates but he didn't want to.

So he asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend.

[When did this happen?]

[You actually agreed?]

I don't want to move.

[Then do you like him?]

Be honest with me.

No...

[You don't like him?]

I don't know.

What do you mean by that?

[I just don't know.]

Miss Lan, how about you?

How did you and my father fall in love?

[How did you know]

[he's the one?]

Girl,

I'm hanging up.

I'll call you back as I've got something to do.

What is the matter?

Xia, you're back.

Come on in.

What's wrong?

Actually, what I'm most worried

is not about losing my reputation

but dragging Tang into this

due to my negligence.

He is a talented youth.

[If he can't continue participating in the project,]

[it's not only his future that would get affected.]

[It'd be a great loss]

[for the project and the institute's]

[long-term development too.]

[It won't happen.]

You already clarified the causality

of the matter.

It was omission not criminal

like you said.

The institute will find out

which part that went wrong.

Just consider it as taking a break.

Actually, for the past two days, I've been thinking

what I can do if I can't

do research anymore.

I can't do anything else.

I can't even steam an egg custard.

Do you think it's easy to steam an egg custard?

Even the most able housewife

can't guarantee that

every egg custard she steamed

has no air bubbles.

Moreover,

you're not a housewife.

You are Professor Xia.

Difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart.

If such a day came,

would you hold it against me?

I've always held it against you,

from the first day I met you.

Do you remember

you got admitted to our hospital

when you first suffered from tuberculosis?

You had high fever,

haematemesis and cough.

We performed bronchoscopy for you.

You even refused to use anaesthesia

because you were afraid it'll affect your intelligence.

The patient we dislike most

is those like you,

who do not cooperate.

Why did you marry me and have child

with me if you dislike me?

That was because

I found a farewell letter

under your pillow.

You said

you're willing to donate your body

for medical research purpose

if you couldn't be cured.

And you said

you're particularly grateful to

a nurse named Lan Zi Yu.

She couldn't find your blood vessel

every time she put you on a drip,

causing her to be on the verge of breaking down.

You thanked her for giving you

nice memories and

cheering you up

at your final moment.

Xia,

is there anything harder than this?

[I dislike every flaw your father has,]

[but I want to love every virtue he has.]

[Are you like that too?]

Did you go to the police station?

Why are you still up?

I can't sleep.

Xue sent aunt to the airport.

I know.

I have something for you.

Hold on.

This is the present that your mother gave to me when she left.

I give it back to you.

She gave it to you.

Why did you give it to me?

I can't have it.

Why?

We're only putting on a show for her.

It's too much

if I take it.

What do you mean?

She wanted me to ask my parents

to have a meeting with her.

And she asked me to persuade you to have a career change.

Then how did you reply her?

I can only tell her

we have no plans to marry at this point.

We can have a fake relationship

but we can't have fake marriage.

Marriage will get both sets of parents involved.

You can blame me for not keeping my words,

you can ask me to move out too.

Anyway, I can't do this anymore.

I don't want to lie to your mother.

I mean

how are you going to persuade me?

What?

About changing my career,

I'd like you to tell me about it.

I have nothing to say.

It's your choice

to leave or stay.

Who do you think put the tapping device

in Er Miao's collar?

I don't know.

Try to think.

Can you think of nothing?

Nothing.

Did you ever bring Zhuo Ran back here?

What do you mean?

Just what I said.

Of course not!

I have no object of suspicion!

Nothing jogs my memory

and I didn't bring anyone back home!

Nothing!

I just...

Liang Mu Ze, I don't understand.

Why do you always take aim at Zhuo Ran?

To me,

he's a guy that I knew when I was 18 years old.

His clean appearance in a white shirt

is my youth.

How could he...

How could I suspect him?

So you don't like man in green uniforms,

you like men in white shirts.

Will you listen properly?

Listen to my point, okay?

Calm down.

It's useless to be agitated.

Where are you going?

Let go!

I don't want to.

Let go of me!

I can't.

What?

Liang Mu Ze, we're even.

Do you think I'm medical waste?

You ditch me after using me.

I'm tired.

I want to rest.

You said Zhuo Ran is the memories of your youth.

I have no objection about this matter.

But Xia Chu, you need to know

the memories of youth are not

completely reliable.

Have Zhuo Ran told you why he appeared

at the tunnel yesterday?

He said

he passed by while having night run.

Xia Chu,

the dangers in this world

are much more than

you think.

Guarding against strangers

is actually as important as

guarding against familiar strangers.

So you should train yourself

when you're free.

Do not travel alone and

do not stay in a hotel alone.

Set your speed dial number on your phone

to call the police.

You can call the police if anything happens.

Wherever you go,

you must remember the location of

the lifts and stairs.

And

no matter how fast the lift is,

a person running

can catch up to it within three floors.

So if there's any contingency,

you must press the button for more than three floors

if you have to take the lift.

You can press multiple floors

to deceive the opponent

if it's necessary.

If you really couldn't get away,

just keep yourself

surrounded by the crowd,

and yell for help.

Anything around you

can be used as a makeshift weapon.

Anyway,

Dr Xia,

you need to learn to protect yourself.

You'll have the chance to save more people

only if you can protect yourself.

Do you get it?

Why did you suddenly tell me these?

I'm going to be redeployed.

When do you leave?

It's not certain.

So do you really have nothing

to tell me about my career change?

Goodnight, Liang Mu Ze.

Goodnight.
