[My Dear Guardian]

[Episode 33]

How long do we have to wait?

Is it that hard to find the building's information?

This structure was built by

the Chinese government.

It's for helping people who are poor and have no money,

and then after a few years,

all files and all investments,

international investments are pulled,

and then this structure is frozen.

How about now?

Now, we need to find people who know about this situation

and try to help us make this great plan.

My father will be dead

before you finish planning!

Calm down! Calm down!

Hello.

What is it?

Okay, okay.

Now, we have good news.

In ten minutes, Officer Chen

from the Chinese government will be coming,

and he has what we need.

Have a seat.

It's hard to get these blueprints.

It's a young officer named Liang Mu Ze,

who accidentally found

that the Corps of Engineers of his unit

was involved in

the construction of this structure when

they came to Isaia for a peace operation a few years ago.

He insisted on digging out

the information about the structure's construction

of the Corps of Engineer from the mountain of papers.

But the blueprints were incomplete.

So

he spent time and found an

old soldier who's soon retired.

The soldier experienced the reconstruction back then.

He helped Liang Mu Ze to

redraw the missing parts of the map.

He didn't tell you about this

in advance because

he was afraid that

you'd be disappointed

if no result was found.

He could've passed you

these blueprints by himself but

it'll gain more attention

from the police

of Isaia if it's submitted by me.

Thanks.

Thank you.

The embassy

has been closely following the developments.

We'll try our best to

push them to act fast and

rescue your father

as well as solve the case.

You need to learn patience too,

do not panic.

Okay.

Where are you taking me?

Professor!

Old master, we're in trouble.

Xia Chu.

[Liang Mu Ze.]

Are you all right? What's the matter?

Mahadi told me that

my father has been rescued!

Thank you.

[Thanks for everything you've done for us.]

Then when are

you going to come back?

After taking care of Tang Lin's funeral.

Who is Tang Lin?

[He is my father's assistant]

[and it was him who lured my father to Isaia.]

[At last,]

he took the bullet for my father.

He's gone.

[Is uncle all right?]

He's fine.

He's currently cooperating with the local police investigations.

I can see him tomorrow.

Okay, then.

Get some rest today.

We'll talk about it when you get back.

Goodnight, Braised Egg.

I'm going to hang up.

[Relationship status report]

I thought

I would never see you again.

Are you all right?

Dad, are you hurt?

Are you all right?

That's great.

Thank you for saving me.

You're welcome, my old friend.

You need to thank your daughter.

She has found a good son.

Mahadi.

What did he say?

Nothing.

Liang, good!

I didn't say anything.

Thank you, old comrade.

I'll celebrate your return

when you're back.

That's the deal.

Okay, goodbye.

Are they back?

Yes.

They arrived at noon.

Now, she's taking her father to the hospital for a checkup.

You two sure do keep in touch.

Brigade Commander,

this is my relationship report.

Have you come around?

Yes.

Redeployment is a problem

but it's hard to meet the right person.

I don't want to miss her.

But Xia Chu's father is the

major problem now,

not your redeployment.

Isaia police have found out that

her father was being framed.

But the matter of him leaking information

has yet to be determined.

Leaking information?

He used his personal mailbox

to discuss work with his assistant,

causing the leakage of information.

Now the Institute of Chemistry

has initiated the investigation.

There was no final outcome

before he went to Isaia.

What are you trying to say?

Okay.

Okay.

Stop pretending with me.

I know you must be

feeling bad now.

I was your age once.

I can see

you're currently very confused about this.

You're mostly thinking

that you, as a soldier,

can't protect the one you love,

can't give her a decent family,

can't show up when she needs you the most.

You must be very torn,

and very wrong.

Report!

Haven't you had this kind of feeling before?

Liang Mu Ze,

the words that I'm about to say,

I'm saying them as a brother and

an old soldier instead of

as a Brigade Commander.

Let me tell you,

you and I

are professional soldiers.

Since we choose to put this uniform on,

we have to shoulder the responsibility as soldiers.

Everything is non-negotiable

in front of the national interest.

What is professional

to a soldier?

This is professional.

I understand.

If there's nothing else,

I'll head back first.

Come back here.

You're being surly.

I know

you still have a knot in your heart.

How about this?

I'll allow you to take a half day off.

Just go to the hospital.

And

submit your relationship status report to the Special Branch for approval.

Adjust your form and

report to me!

Thank you, Brigade Commander!

This brat!

Stay for a few more days.

At least

wait until we obtain the result of the medical checkup.

You're lying.

You didn't want me to stay here.

How am I lying?

I have to hurry back.

Your mother must've missed me

since I've left home for days.

I already called Ms Lan.

She said

just take your time.

Girl, I can't stay.

I miss your mother too.

Someone fainted!

Step aside! Step aside!

Don't touch her!

Go get the transfer bed.

Uncle Xia,

have you finished the medical checkup?

Yes, I have.

I'm here for Xia Chu.

She

is rescuing the patient.

I've called a cab.

It'll be here soon.

I'm leaving.

Where are you going?

To home.

I'm going back to Dong'an.

Let me send you off.

No need for that.

I heard from them that

you played a big part in solving

the matter of Isaia.

I was saved, thanks to you.

Thank you.

Uncle Xia,

you're welcome.

But don't you think that

I'll let Xia Chu be with you

just because you helped me.

Uncle Xia,

case by case,

I'll help you whether

you approve or not.

Even if you don't approve,

I'll help you too.

But Xia Chu and I

will be together

no matter what.

Xia Chu.

Have you seen my father?

I've seen him, he just left.

Wait for me.

Dad!

Didn't I tell you to wait for me?

Liang Mu Ze is here.

So what?

Are you afraid of meeting him?

A bit.

Perhaps it's the

legacy of the first meeting with your

grandfather back then.

I flinched when I saw someone

in a military uniform.

I doubt it.

Grandpa is such a kind man.

That's because you're his granddaughter.

He is always rough on me.

He always thinks that

your mother loses out in marrying me.

You still remember how

Grandpa opposed

your marriage with Ms Lan back then?

Of course.

He always wanted to find your mother someone

who's a soldier like him.

And he always persuaded your mother to leave me.

He said that to my face several times.

Can I forget such

hurtful words?

So

don't be like my grandfather.

Don't be rough on Liang Mu Ze and

persuade him to break up with me.

He'll remember you for the rest of his life

if we become man and wife in the future.

Don't you

think it'd be awkward?

Don't vent your anger on Liang Mu Ze just because

my grandfather was hard on you.

I didn't vent my anger.

I just think that my daughter is too excellent.

No one around you deserves

to have you.

Your grandfather might think that too back then.

But I really like him,

I want to be with him.

The cab is here, I'm leaving.

Girl,

no parents in this world

could ever win their kids.

Your grandfather can't,

neither can I.

Dad, I love you!

She is my daughter.

I can see that.

She's like you.

She is a doctor from Hospital 109.

She is a heart surgeon.

She is glowing

like an angel when

she's rescuing the patients.

My daughter

has grown up.

I handed in the relationship report.

But Dong said it can't be

approved at the moment.

Is it because of my father?

Yes.

The decision can only be made after the result of

the investigation is obtained.

I thought it was a big deal.

We just have to wait.

We'll get the result no matter

how long it takes.

And I believe that

my father will be fine.

But I don't wish to wait any longer.

I'm soon to be redeployed.

I want to tell everyone

that Xia Chu is my girlfriend.

Don't be afraid, Braised Egg.

We pulled through when we

were in such a difficult situation in Isaia.

Now, we just have to wait a little bit.

And I have a feeling that

we'll have a happy life

in the future.

You need to have faith.

I have faith!

Liang Mu Ze!

Xia Chu must be my girlfriend.

♫ Remembering your interests, getting closer to you ♫

I love her!

♫ If I can't predict the future, I'll leave it up to fate ♫

♫ I can't remember when I fell in love with you ♫

♫ I am afraid that I might lose you one day ♫

♫ Every minute, every second, how do I resist? ♫

♫ I can't help but look forward to your return ♫

♫ Replaying the moment I fell in love ♫

I'll put those large

luggages over here first.

Send them back for us via air transportation when you're free, okay?

Okay.

I'll send you the address later.

Xue,

can you put on your shoes?

Stop playing with your phone.

We still have to catch the plane.

Honey!

Stop playing with your phone!

We still have to catch the plane!

[Is it you?]

Go back by yourself.

What?

Go back by yourself.

Impossible!

Mum!

I let you come back

as you said so!

How long has it been?

Look what you've been!

And you even want to stay?

Do you have a death wish?

This is an accident!

Accident?

Very well,

just stay here.

I don't care!

Aunt!

Seriously?

I didn't want to yell at her.

That wasn't yelling.

I wonder who she got

her stubbornness from.

Like father, like daughter.

Whom else could she like?

Xue's injury is still

recovering.

It's good to let her stay here for a while.

Don't worry, I'll look after her.

Is he doing well?

It's just her temper.

She'll forget it soon.

No.

I'm not asking about Xue.

I'm asking about...

He's doing fine.

Same as always.

Right, same as always.

Same as always.

He didn't even show up when his

daughter was in such big trouble.

He's on mission, he has no choice.

Right.

He's an excellent

police officer.

But we both fail

as parents.

Aunt,

go in and take a look.

I got to sign some paperwork.

Is it because of Tian Yong?

Liang Mu Ze told you that?

You'd been calling him when you were comatose.

What is he like?

Are you willing to tell me?

He's a soldier.

My brother's lieutenant.

A comrade he knows well.

He's not right for you.

Why do you all say that?

I don't know what others say.

But my experience taught me

that a soldier is entirely

unsuited to you.

But you said

it's your experience.

Shouldn't I make my choice?

Your choice?

Yes!

Xue,

do you know what the future is like

if you're with that kind of man?

He is not that kind of man.

He is Tian Yong.

Well,

I might think it's fun

at the beginning.

I just want to conquer him.

Maybe any man will do.

All he has to say is,

Xue, you look good,

you're cute and pretty,

you're not sick.

And I'd be happy.

But I found that

Tian Yong isn't that kind of person.

Guess what.

I bit the back of his hand

when I first met him.

The trace was very deep.

But he told my brother

that he's fine.

As for this parrot,

I've been treating it as my brother.

Everyone thinks I'm a fool

but Tian Yong asked

if I'd feel lonely

if I lost this parrot.

He even told me that

this world would be boring

if only the birds with nice voices

were allowed to tweet.

The most important thing is

he's willing to hug me

after knowing my past.

He's multiple times better than

those jerks who bad-mouth me

after kissing me.

This is Tian Yong.

You know what?

He never tried to sweet-talk me.

I didn't even understand

what he said.

But he told me that

one could live a wonderful life

in this world

even if one's imperfect.

I don't have to care about how they think of me.

I just have to live my life the way I want it to be.

You and Dad

never taught me this.

Only he

can reassure me.

Mum,

I know you'll feel sad

as I said these.

But these are my true thoughts.

I

met your father

at age 21,

got married at age 23,

I had you

at age 25,

I divorced him

at age 40 and

took you to the United States.

This is your failed marriage.

I once strongly believed that

I could

grow old with him.

But

between family and his job as a police officer,

he chose the latter.

This is not Dad's fault.

It's my fault.

You guys separated because of my incident.

Shut up.

You don't get it.

You don't understand what I said.

Then do you get what I mean?

You've been avoiding this matter,

just like you protected me.

You organized my life

and wanted me to follow your path.

Have you ever thought about me?

It's like I can only live in

the year when the incident happened,

I can never be freed.

I...

I thought...

I thought you hate

to see me cry.

Mum,

I hate to see you pretend to be happy even more.

Do you still love Dad?

Send me a message when you've arrived.

I love you, Mum.

I'll meet your parents

when I switch flights in Beijing.

Do you have anything

to give them or tell them?

Nothing,

just tell them I'm doing fine.

Okay.

Have a safe journey, aunt.

Have you made up your mind?

It's not too late to turn.

I want to wait for Tian Yong here.

Then you need to follow me back to the unit

and you're not allowed to leave.

Report to me in advance if there's anything.

Someone is going to follow you around

until it's all clear.

Is that all right?

Why?

This is the discussion from all sectors

to ensure the safety of yours and Tian Yong

and help in their operations.

You were thrown into the ocean by him,

you were dead,

understood?

How long do we need to stay here?

I don't know.

What are we waiting for?

Waiting for news.

You'll see the man you want to see

when we get the news.

So

this is your

transit station.

It's one of them.

When can we get the news?

I don't know.

They will inform me.

So that means

his ranking is higher than yours.

We have different roles.

Then why do I think you are

always in the forefront

while he commands at the back?

You two are partners.

He is not your boss.

If I were you,

I wouldn't like his style.

I'm going to the washroom.

Remember to take your medication.

Immediately tell me

if you don't feel well.

And take good care of your friend.

I got it.

Just do your thing.

♫ There's something about you that makes me strangely addicted ♫

♫ I keep wanting to open my heart ♫

♫ Your love ♫

♫ There's something about you that makes me strangely addicted ♫

Brigade Commander,

why are you up so late?

Nothing.

I'm just thinking,

there was no Xiao Xiao yet when I participated in

the tree planting here back then.

Years

have gone in a flash,

my daughter has grown up,

the tree has grown tall too.

What did Sister-in-law say

about the redeployment?

What can she say?

This is not the first time.

Your sister-in-law is a

strong person.

She had been running around with me

since she was young.

She never made complaints.

She cringed as she knew I'm

going to leave.

It's not a problem to relocate.

The only problem is

Xiao Xiao doesn't want to leave her classmates

and friends.

She has been losing her temper.

If your sister-in-law hadn't

come up with so many ways to cheer her up,

I wouldn't know what to do

with this girl's ideological work.

It's a complete waste

of such a nice woman

to marry me.

Brigade Commander.

Well,

stop talking about me.

Let's talk about you.

Have you set everything up for Xue?

Yes.

The superiors have given the orders.

The defence unit

will send someone to take care of Xue.

Moreover,

the families left behind

will come over to help too.

So you don't have to worry about

her living and safety.

I know.

Why?

Any other concerns?

Brigade Commander,

can you inform Tian Yong to return and see Xue?

What do you say?

I have no idea

where Tian Yong is.

Right now,

this isn't what we should worry about.

After redeployment,

joint military exercise will be conducted right away.

By then,

the representatives of the foreign militaries

have to attend it except the captain of the war zone.

Be well-prepared

and do your best.

Yes.

As soldiers,

we can't choose the

region and era we're in.

The only thing we can choose

is loyalty to our era.

♫ I'd like to find out ♫

♫ If my mask of foolishness ♫

♫ Could deceive you ♫

♫ I'm putting on my best performance ♫

♫ Is it a little too cruel? ♫

♫ The game of adults ♫

♫ The moments of joy along the way ♫

♫ Do not bring them up ♫

♫ Whatever evidence ♫

♫ Requires no validation ♫

♫ It is our shared secret ♫

♫ The embrace I long for ♫

♫ If I hang in there ♫

♫ I know love will surely come, someday ♫

The operation went well.

♫ Is it a little too cruel? ♫

You've worked hard.

Thank you, Chief Chen.

♫ The game of adults ♫

♫ The moments of joy along the way ♫

♫ Do not bring them up ♫

[Keep both sides symmetric when inserting the needles.]

♫ Whatever evidence ♫

[Don't leave dead spaces subcutaneously.]

[Why are you being so nervous?]

♫ Requires no validation ♫

[Try to think]

[how you usually stitch the grape skins up.]

♫ It is our shared secret ♫

♫ Keeping it close to the heart ♫

♫ The embrace I long for ♫

♫ Comes up in my dreams often ♫

♫ If I hang in there ♫

Xia Chu, here's your parcel.

Thank you.

[I'll protect you for Mu Ze.]

[I received the figure.]

[Is it handsome?]

[Not as handsome as you.]

[Of course.]

[How's the new outpost?]

[Boss, are you there?]

[I want to customize a figure.]

Goodbye, fellow students.

Goodbye, teacher!

Xia Chu?

You're here.

Where is Xiao Xiao?

Two patients came to the emergency department abruptly.

I think she couldn't get away at the moment.

So I come here by myself.

This is the honey from her.

Her father

bought this from the beekeeper.

It's all-natural.

That's great.

Thank her for me.

These are our thesis.

We had amended two drafts.

Okay.

Let me read them.

Are you still in touch with

Ms Meng Zhen?

I've been busy lately.

I have many works in school.

A little while ago,

she took Xiao Jun to our hospital for medical checkup

and said she's going to Beijing.

Really?

By the way,

how is it?

How does it feel to be back

at the Cardiac Surgery Department?

I'm not used to stitch the patient up

during operation at first.

Never mind.

You'll get used to it.

You're like me.

I'm currently adapting to the life

which I don't have to stitch patients up.

Everything will be fine.

I'm preparing to sign up for the military exercise.

Is Liang Mu Ze going?

I don't know.

I think he'll go.

I can feel it.

Sir,

thank you.

About me returning to the Cardiac Surgery Department,

things wouldn't be this smooth

if you hadn't talked to the chief.

Don't say that.

I think

you deserve this.

It's true.

If you really want to thank me,

how about this?

Clean the blackboard.

No problem.

Sir,

I'll keep that in mind.
