[My Dear Guardian]

[Episode 40]

Eat it.

Eat it.

I want you to eat it!

Eat it.

Hurry up.

I know you didn't expect me

to come back alive when you sent me here.

It'd be best if I could complete the task.

If I couldn't,

you can have me to do the dirty work for you

and get rid of the thorn in your side,

right?

You have a good memory.

Eat it.

I wasn't planning on staying alive.

But Old Master,

what makes you think

you can leave China alive?

[Rao Zhi!]

[Long Yi is heading out to sea by motorboat.]

[We are sending our men over to block him.]

[I'm at the dockside. I'll go!]

This is Whale.

Old Master is dead.

Pei Yu ran away.

Don't waste your energy, Liang Mu Ze!

You can't catch me.

Did you kill Old Master?

He deserved to die.

Don't forget your identity!

Pei Yu!

Pei Yu no longer exists in this world.

It's not today and here

that I forgot my own identity.

I don't need you to remind me.

I still remember the taste

of Xia Chu's lips.

I tell you what.

It was only Zhuo Ran whom Xia Chu liked.

You are

just his shadow.

Just kill me.

You don't deserve it.

♫ I had a quick glance at your eyes ♫

♫ It could be the destiny but it is not practical ♫

♫ Your expression popped up on my mind ♫

♫ I learn to face the music instead of evading it ♫

♫ Remembering your interests, getting closer to you ♫

♫ 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? ♫

Five minutes.

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

Five minutes will do.

♫ Replaying the moment I fell in love ♫

You gained weight.

I ate well

and I didn't lose any sleep.

Aunty is doing well.

There are volunteers taking turns to take care of her.

Good.

Then

I can rest assured.

Before I came here,

I had a lot I wanted to say.

Just cut to the chase.

Time's running out.

I'm sorry.

You don't look like a woman in her thirties.

You're too silly.

No woman is truly silly

unless she's willing to be one.

This may be our last meeting.

I've been wanting to ask you a question.

Did you

ever love me?

Even for a moment?

No.

I'd been treating

you as a handy tool.

Let's go.

Mr Zhang, goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, sir.

Do your revision.

Mr Zhang, goodbye.

-Bye. -Goodbye.

It's me.

I'm on the way to the airport.

Then I wish you

a safe journey.

We probably won't see each other much in future.

You should put your own health

in the first place.

[And I want to tell you]

[that you've been an]

excellent doctor in my mind.

I believe that

you'll be an excellent teacher in the future.

Well,

then I'll

do my best to

live up your expectation

to be an excellent teacher.

Goodbye.

Mister,

please drive faster.

Okay.

Meng Zhen!

Mum, let's go.

I...

I want to eat

the sponge cake you make.

♫ You were familiar to me at first sight ♫

♫ Never doubted when I approached you ♫

♫ I drown in certainty every day ♫

♫ Coveting the innocence of love ♫

♫ It's for a lifetime at every glance ♫

♫ Preparing for an extreme affection ♫

♫ Talking about everything I've kept in my heart ♫

♫ Until love bind us ♫

It's strange.

My heart beats faster

than usual

every time I see you.

I feel a strange familiarity towards you,

like we've known each other for a long time.

Xue is here to volunteer again.

How is it?

Do you feel good today?

Aunty said her heart is beating a little fast.

Let me listen.

Do you feel stuffy or pain in the chest?

This shouldn't be a problem.

Then why is her heart racing?

Perhaps

her transplanted heart

recognises you.

Rest well.

Call me if there's any problem.

Thank you, Dr Xia.

You're welcome.

It's a young soldier.

What?

I mean the donor who donated his heart to me.

If he was alive,

his heart might race

like mine does

when he sees you.

Aunty,

can I listen to his heartbeat?

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

[Xue.]

♫ I keep wanting to open my heart ♫

Xue!

♫ Afraid of your anticipation, some things cannot be repeated ♫

Let me listen

to what your

heart is saying.

♫ We can't reject it when fate chooses us ♫

Wait, there's a lot of people.

It's awkward.

♫ I'll hesitate when I get close, I'll be sad if I miss it ♫

♫ Your lovely smile, your pure heart ♫

♫ Are irreplaceable ♫

♫ Accustomed to your presence ♫

♫ Being loved every moment ♫

♫ Until the day we meet ♫

♫ Can the missing companionship instantly fulfil ♫

♫ Your love ♫

Xiao Xue,

write a letter to my son for me.

Okay.

What do you want to write?

What left me yesterday

can be retained no more.

What worries me today

are the times for which I feel sore.

This is Li Bai's poem.

I like Li Bai too.

Why did I recite Li Bai's poem?

Just recite it.

In autumn wind for miles and miles the wild geese fly.

Let's follow them with eyes and drink in tower high.

Your writing's forcible, like ancient poets.

Your writing's forcible, like ancient poets.

Mine is in Junior Xie's direct and easy style.

Both of us have ambitions high.

We'd bring the moon down from the sky.

Cut running water with a sword, it will flow faster.

Drink wine to drown your sorrow, it will grow heavier.

[If we despair in our lifetime of all affairs,]

[tomorrow let us sail away]

with loosened hairs.

[Son,]

[I know you've been blaming me]

[for taking your little brother away]

[and leaving you.]

[I wasn't being partial.]

[I really had no choice.]

[There's no mother]

[willing to abandon her own child.]

[After all these years,]

[you've always kept me company under the guise of Zhuo Ran.]

[You learned his every move]

[and his emotions]

[to comfort me.]

[It wasn't that I didn't recognize you.]

[Just that]

[I thought you could]

[live on without guilt if I said nothing.]

[Come to think of it,]

[we really made a lot of mistakes.]

[I should have stopped you]

[back then on the boat.]

[I should've stopped you from]

[eating that leftover and]

[kneeling before that demon no matter what.]

[I'd rather die with you]

[that night]

[than watching you]

[compromise yourself for me]

[and live a miserable life.]

[It's time to get back up]

[on your feet.]

[If it's possible,]

[please abandon your disguise and]

[remove the masks on your face.]

[Even for a day]

[or for an hour.]

[Trust me,]

[you're my son, Pei Yu.]

[You don't have be to someone else.]

[You just need to be yourself.]

[We'll face it]

[and atone for our sins together.]

[Please believe that]

[I love you still.]

[I love you always.]

I am Pei Yu.

I am Pei Yu.

Brother.

Remember,

I'm going to Beijing to

attend the independent student recruitment.

The details between me and Xia Chu

is in this letter.

We recently had some conflict because of the novel

by Josephine Tey.

Remember to cheer her up for me.

Mother's habits

are in this notebook too.

Most importantly,

remember

you must smile.

A brighter smile.

Right, that's it!

I'll get on first.

Remember,

from now on,

you're Zhuo Ran.

I am Pei Yu.

I am Pei Yu.

I am Pei Yu!

I am Pei Yu!

I am Pei Yu.

I am Pei Yu.

I am Pei Yu.

[Three months later, Pei Yu is sentenced to death]

Thank you, Master Le Tian.

Thanks for keeping me company all this time.

You've worked hard.

If you meet other patients

like me afterwards,

remember to tell them that

everything will be fine

no matter how hard things get.

It's going to be all right.

We can do it!

Sorry to trouble you.

It's all right. Rest assured.

Leaving home with three big laughters,

I'm not an

ordinary man!

I don't feel like he's gone.

Tian Yong isn't gone.

When I sent the parrot off,

I got a strong feeling that

Tian Yong will see this.

It was the parrot who brought him to me.

And they healed me together.

Now that

my parrot has become

Master Le Tian from OK,

it's going to heal more people!

Tian Yong isn't gone.

It's true.

He is in the poem which I read just now.

He is in every laughter of Master Le Tian too.

And here,

he's in here too.

He's always been here.

Xiao Xue,

I've decoded the

WeChat message that Tian Yong sent

via his WeChat account, Mr Parrot.

It's in this book.

Read it if you want.

Okay.

Let's go.

Tell me

what your next plan is.

I want to take a graduate exam in Chinese Literature.

Really?

Which college do you want to apply?

Mother's alma mater.

She has a senior

who studies Poetry Phonology.

It's good.

Are you sure about that?

Just give it a try.

I'll try it next year if I can't make it this year.

Life is long,

I'm going to make it.

You can do it.

Mother said

she'll return to help me prepare for the test.

We rent a unit downstairs at Mu Ze's place.

Come home for

dinner if you're free.

Okay.

You do your best, too,

Officer Rao!

Okay.

Okay.

We, father and daughter,

will try our best.

In the future, if I'm free,

I'll try to spare

a day every week.

Really?

To accompany you.

[This is a voiceless memo.]

[I only hope Xue could understand]

[I've always prepared to bid farewell to you.]

[Because that is the preparation ceremony for the next meeting.]

[It's the best comfort on the days]

[when we we can't meet.]

[If]

[we can't meet again,]

[I'll remember the way you look every time]

[you said goodbye to me with a smile.]

[Please]

[remember the poem below.]

[They are willing to]

[be a star in the sky.]

[They are willing to]

[be a light on the ground.]

[I might sacrifice]

[when I]

[enter the restricted area.]

[Leaving the footprints,]

[paving the way]

[for those who come after.]

[I'm grateful to the world]

[for accepting my body.]

[I'm grateful to my girl]

[for giving me the time of eternity.]

[And you'll always have my soul.]

[Trust me, Xue.]

[All the pain and waiting]

[won't be wasted.]

[Someday,]

[they'll become your love]

[and courage.]

[I wish you have a blissful life.]

I'm cured.

I don't lose sleep and

I don't have to eat sleeping pills anymore.

I'm all well.

I saw someone

selling lychee honey yesterday.

So I bought one for each of you.

Taste it.

Tell me if it's delicious.

But its taste

is not the same as before.

Everything has changed.

Only you two are this lively.

Here, cheers.

Cheers!

Uncle, don't drink this fast.

It's fine, I'm happy.

It's rare that Mu Ze takes a day off.

You're off duty too.

I tell you what, it's hard

to have a reunion dinner

in our family.

Right.

Here, Xia Chu.

Try your uncle's cooking.

Thank you, aunty.

Here.

This one.

Taste it.

Thank you, aunty.

I think

we should refurnish the house.

How is it?

How about this?

Let's visit the furniture stores while

we have time tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow...

No, we have things to do.

What are you up to?

My unit is going to film a publicity video

about military conscription tomorrow.

I'm the actor.

I'm going to be the viewer.

Anyway, you'll leave tomorrow.

Just make this easy.

Quickly pack your luggage after this meal.

Don't forget any stuff.

I know.

Aren't you afraid

that Xia Chu will be unhappy after

refurnishing this house?

No.

Son, let me ask you.

What will you do when there's

disagreement between me and Xia Chu

in the future?

What will I do?

What should I do?

What to do?

What will I do?

Do you have any suggestion, old comrade?

Don't drag me into this.

If that's the case,

just mind

our own women.

This is a great idea.

Come on.

Let's have a another toast.

Come!

Xia Chu,

thank you.

From now on,

Liang Mu Ze's everything

is yours.

Well, if that's all right, aunty.

Here, cheers!

Turn right!

At ease!

Halt!

Switch post!

Is every department ready?

Okay, ready!

Rolling!

Three, two, one, action!

[My name is Liang Mu Ze.]

[It's the homophonic word of "a fine fowl perches only on a fine tress".]

[I grew up, like most]

[of the teenagers,]

[under the protection]

[of my relatives and mentors before I was 18 years old.]

[When I turned 18,]

[I entered the military school]

[and put the uniform on.]

Prepare to fight!

[Here]

[we fight like the scorching sun.]

[We become stronger.]

[Here]

[we cleave through the waves,]

[shed blood and tears.]

[Here]

[we reach for the sky.]

[We witness growth.]

[Here]

[we push the limits]

[and create glory.]

[Here]

[we grind the battlefield,]

[drawing our sword.]

[Here]

[we pass on the spirit]

[of defending our dignity.]

[Here]

[we experienced extreme pain]

[and tasted the moment of pleasure.]

[Here]

[we lost the waywardness and arrogance of our youth]

[and gained the unyielding spirit of a man.]

[We water our youth with our blood!]

[We create the Great Steel Wall with our responsibilities.]

[We share the same name]

[and the same faith!]

[We are]

[the Chinese People's Liberation Army!]

[The End]
