Once Given Never Forgotten Ep08

Who are you?

Come on. Join us.

What are you doing?

Since you're here,

shall we have some drinks?

Come on, pretty girl.

Do you want some drinks?

Don't touch me!

Let's go.

All right, all right.

Let's go eat first.

I'm still a bit worried.

I'll find her now.

You can eat first.

I'll call you later.

Xiang Yuqiu!

You bastard!

What the hell happened?

I thought you said no more wandering around.

How did you know I couldn't fix that?

Why did you lie again?

Answer me.

Where did you stay these two days?

In that small hotel.

Sorry,

I dragged you down.

That's why I didn't want to tell you.

Xiang Yuqiu!

What do you mean?

Haven't I been a burden on you for years?

If it weren't for looking after me,

you wouldn't need to work so hard,

or to travel back and forth between home and school.

You could have focused on your creation.

You could be a famous furniture designer now.

But I need to take care of you.

I don't need you to take care of me!

Is it just because you're older than me?

I'm not a kid anymore.

Can't I be your friend,

like Chen Qi or Tang Shi?

Can't I share your pressure

or help you solve problems

without you saying sorry anymore?

Are you tired?

If you still want to apologize for being a burden,

then save your breath.

I want to say thank you.

For what?

Thank you for making me realize something I've ignored.

You're a grown-up now.

You aren't a kid anymore.

Actually, sometimes...

It's me who needs you more.

As long as you're by my side,

my life feels more meaningful.

Are you trying to compensate Miss Luo Ting

by being nice to me?

Of course not.

You two are different after all.

But Luo Ting gave me her corneas.

That's been an unarguable fact over these years.

Haven't you all thought

I'm the continuation of Luo Ting?

I admit.

Sometimes your eyes

remind me of her.

But you have your own life.

You have to realize that.

Lianxin,

you have your own life.

You should do things you want to do.

Have you ever

told yourself the same thing?

You should have your own life too.

If you feel uncomfortable staying in Spain,

I won't force you to be here against your own will.

Whether you want to work here,

or go back to China,

I'll have your back.

Alex.

I've found you a place to stay.

Hello.

It's me.

How are you two now?

We're fine.

The lawyer has settled everything.

Xiang Yuqiu is free too.

Then why didn't you tell me yesterday?

I couldn't sleep all night,

worrying about you.

I didn't call 'cause I didn't wanna disturb you.

I forgot.

Sorry.

Why did you change into a different person

after you went to Spain?

It scares me how nice you're now.

You sound a bit tired.

When will you come back?

Let me know when the time is set.

Chen Qi.

I think Xiang Yuqiu really doesn't want to come back.

Did he tell you that?

No, he didn't.

That's what my guts are telling me.

I feel like,

he is focusing his entire life on Lianxin.

For Lianxin, he has done more than he should!

He treats Lianxin as his sister.

Surely, he cares for her.

No, I...

I can't describe this feeling.

Like, he sees her as a replacement for Luo Ting.

How is that possible?

Luo Ting passed away so many years ago.

Caring for Lianxin has become his habit.

Rest assured. He's not that dumb.

You're just overthinking.

Only you're not that dumb.

I'm going to sleep.

Talk to you later.

You're so early!

I'm an early bird.

I have something to do,

and need to go out now.

Where are you going so early?

I'll tell you on the way.

I'm going to see a house with Lianxin.

Didn't she lie to you yesterday?

Alex found this place for her.

His friend's house.

It's in the suburban area, big and cheap.

Isn't that quite far away from Lianxin's school?

There's a bus stop nearby.

Are you sure?

I'll go with you.

Welcome to my new home.

Are you two crazy?

Xiang Yuqiu!

How can you let Lianxin live in such a house?

This is so shabby and dirty!

How can someone live here?

I think it's fine.

It's just a bit dirty and messy.

We can work with that.

How about this?

I'll buy some cute stuff from the flea market

to decorate the living room.

Listen, you two.

Can we first clean up this place

before we talk about its decoration?

Then I'll go to the supermarket to buy some things.

I'll go with you.

No, I can handle that.

Well.

Have you decided?

I wanna book the flight soon.

What's the hurry?

You don't have a job here.

It's illegal for you to stay.

Let me think about it.

We have to clean up first.

Come. Give me a hand.

Okay.

Turn it on.

In the future,

we'll have our own home in Spain.

Do I need to buy us supper to celebrate?

I'll go.

I need to take out the bin.

Okay.

Now you have a clean house.

Can you let him go back now?

He came to Spain to embrace his new life.

Why should he go back?

Do you really think so?

I'm grateful to you

for helping him out.

But...

We can't decide

what he really wants for him.

Let's put "the future" aside.

When he just arrived in Spain,

he encountered robbery, strike and drug dealers,

and even slept in the park for a night.

Don't you think you're being selfish?

Sleeping in the park?

That's impossible!

Surely...

Surely what?

When I asked him to take his luggage,

and go to the hotel with me,

do you know where he got his luggage from?

A cloakroom!

Surely he has money.

Why didn't he go to the hotel?

He wants to save some money for you.

You're in Spain.

It's expensive to live and study here.

Now we're settled.

I'll find a part-time job.

Not to mention,

it's between me and him.

No need for your concern.

Lianxin,

you clearly know

he came to Spain for you.

You also know that

he's taken care of you for so many years,

because he feels guilty about Luo Ting.

Do you really see yourself as his family?

I only hope that

you can become independent soon.

Let him go.

All I know is

since I was ten,

he's been part of my life.

So in the next ten years,

he will remain in my life.

Clearly, you're a naive child.

Everything you've said is so childish.

Think about it yourself.

Let's put "the future" aside.

When he just arrived in Spain,

he encountered robbery, strike and drug dealers,

and even slept in the park for a night.

Don't you think you're selfish?

Dear passengers, your flight tickets from Barcelona to Shanghai have been reserved.

Dear passengers, your flight tickets from Barcelona to Shanghai have been reserved.

Where is Tang Shi?

She's tired and went to bed.

Where is my supper?

I've searched many places,

but all the restaurants seem to be closed.

Are you hungry?

Wait for me.

This is my specialty.

Eat it if you like.

How is it?

It smells nice.

Enough.

Look at you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Don't drink so fast.

Stop nagging!

How is this combo?

Wine and instant noodles,

that's quite creative.

Drink it all.

I'll drink it all.

When you're alone,

don't drink like this.

Eat. Eat now.

So delicious.

You bet!

Xiang Yuqiu,

wherever you are is home.

Don't go.

Don't go.

Don't go.

Don't go!

He's really gone.

Now I'm the only one,

left in Barcelona.

Remember to eat breakfast.

No instant noodles.

Just leave me.

I'll survive.

Guys, today we'll start learning

how to use verbs.

In Spanish,

verbs can be divided into regular and irregular verbs.

Silly girl, work hard!

We'll now talk about

the conjugation of regular verbs.

Have a safe trip.

In the future,

we'll have our own home in Spain.

Lianxin!

Is your class over?

What's wrong?

Are you washing clothes?

You're not using my facial cleansing soap to wash these, are you?

Do you think I'm as stupid as you are?

Your hands are full of bubbles.

Did you miss your flight?

You're so nice to me.

I knew it.

You must worry about me being alone here.

I was never leaving.

But your suitcase was missing,

and you even left a note.

As someone who lives in the living room,

of course my suitcase is in the living room.

What's wrong?

Did someone think

I was going to leave,

and burst into tears?

In your dream.

Why did you come to pick me up?

Why can't I come?

Xiang Yuqiu told me to.

Do you always follow his order?

That's not true.

I'm only doing it for you.

That's the only reason why I take his orders.

Normally, I'm the boss.

I wouldn't have come, if it weren't for you.

Take me home.

Don't!

I'll take you to have supper.

I'm not hungry.

Then, drink some.

Have some drinks!

You see.

You must be tired after such a long flight.

Drinking will relax you.

And you have me, your delightful Chen Qi.

I'll tell you some jokes.

When you're happy, you'll surely sleep tight.

What's wrong?

Tang Shi, I'm not leaving.

Perhaps I need a new environment,

just like you said,

to help me truly walk out of my past.

But do you think you can walk out of your past,

when Lianxin is with you?

She is different.

We need each other.

We support each other.

Perhaps only by being with each other,

can we really break free from our past.

I'll leave now.

Have a safe trip.

Chen Qi.

You're right.

He has no intention to come back.

It's good if he doesn't come back too.

So we can have more chance to...

Develop.

So you're not leaving?

If I could get a work visa,

I wouldn't leave, of course.

So the sun finally shines again after the rain.

You'd better think about your own problem first!

Now that your Spanish is fine,

you still have to think about your school application.

Right!

Do you need to pay a visit

to that company?

They didn't contact you.

Does that mean they don't want you?

I'll go tomorrow.

Right!

I can be your Spanish teacher.

Xiang Yuqiu,

how come you can't remember this word?

Write it 100 times.

Yes.

Lianxin,

whether can I speak Spanish or not

counts on you.

Miss Lianxin.

Miss Lianxin.

No problem.

Right.

You can't sleep on the sofa all the time.

I'll sleep here today.

You go. Sleep in the bedroom.

No.

This is not negotiable.

It's inconvenient for you to sleep on the sofa.

No, why...

I'll tell you what.

I said it was not negotiable.

Pinky promise?

We can speak Chinese with each other.

That's no problem.

But you have to know the clients here

and the painters can't speak Chinese.

So how is your Spanish?

I'm learning Spanish now,

but I speak fluent English.

Alright.

So you know how to make furniture?

Yes.

I majored in furniture design.

That's good.

You're over-qualified for an assistant.

This job doesn't really pay well.

Sometimes,

you might not get enough to support yourself.

That's okay.

As long as you can sponsor my work visa,

I can do it.

You don't have a work visa?

I...

Then... I'm sorry.

We cannot hire you.

Sorry. Good luck.

Thanks.

I'll do it.

You were out all day.

You must be tired.

Can you do it?

Yeah, I'll be in charge of the dishes from now on.

Oh, right.

Did you get to see

the guy who contacted you today?

I did.

They said I got into the next round of interview.

That's great news.

I think you got this.

Be careful.

Enjoy your meal.

Someone is waving at you.

Work visa? No problem!

I would never allow my employees

to work without visas.

Everyone gets a visa here.

I can't ask you to work illegally, right?

That's great.

Then, when I can start?

Eh...

Visa application might take a while.

But Loy Krathong is approaching,

and we're short-handed.

How about this?

You start working first,

and I'll handle your visa application, alright?

Yeah, that's good.

Good.

But there's something I have to tell you, my friend.

It's not easy for us Chinese

to run restaurants in Europe.

So, with regard to your salary...

It's not very high.

Boss, that's fine.

As long as you can help me with my visa,

I'm happy with any salary!

Excellent.

Do you know what's the best quality of us Chinese?

What's that?

We work hard.

Let's do it.

Follow me.

You'll get changed and start now.

Let's go.

This is the kitchen.

And you'll work here.

Thank you.

What's that smell on you?

Do you have perfume?

Yeah. Use it to cover that reek.

If the shift manager notices it,

he won't be happy.

Thank you.

Hello.

Why didn't you pick up your phone?

I called you several times.

I was in a meeting.

Unlike you, I've got stuff to do.

I don't buy it.

Were you chatting up Spanish girls in a bar?

I've got a business dinner later.

Shoot. What's the matter?

Good for you, Yuqiu.

Sounds like you're doing pretty well in Spain.

What about Lianxin?

She's great.

She said she'd write you a letter sometime.

Ask her to hurry up,

and send me some postcards from Spain too.

You didn't call me all the way from China

to make small talk, did you?

Tell me, what's the matter?

I wanna talk to you about Tang Shi.

Tang Shi.

Why do you wanna talk about her?

We...

Gotta go now. The enemy is here.

She's here.

Hello.

Hello.

Yuqiu,

go take care of those tables.

Okay.

Cut it out.

Who were you calling?

Nobody.

The key of Xiang Yuqiu's house,

give it to me.

Why?

You're too busy.

It's better that I take care of his plants.

I gotta go. Bye.

Hey. When you have time,

maybe I can do a photoshoot for you?

Did I wake you up?

Don't wait up next time.

You've got classes tomorrow.

I fell asleep 'cause I was bored, not tired.

I made you sandwiches.

Thank you.

Isn't that my cap?

Why is there a bear on it?

Didn't you say

I can't throw this worn cap away?

So I thought I could patch it up.

But I didn't do a great job. It looked bad.

But today,

someone happened to give me a bear,

so I sewed it on the cap.

Isn't it so cute?

Who gave you the bear?

I found a job.

At a florist near the school.

I worked for three hours today.

The owner didn't just pay me,

but also gave me some flowers

and this cute little bear.

Tomorrow, go tell the owner

that you appreciate it but you'll quit.

Why would I do that?

Why would I quit?

It took me so long to find this job.

Right now, you need to focus on study.

You don't need to worry about money.

It won't affect my study.

This job is easy.

I just need to watch the shop,

and make some deliveries occasionally.

Also, I get to talk to the customers.

I can practise my Spanish!

The drawbacks outweigh its benefits.

It's not safe. I can't let you do it.

The florist has been there for decades.

Most of the customers are local residents.

Super safe.

I said no and that's final.

I can't face Uncle Luo

if this job affects your study.

I'm an adult.

I don't need your approval for everything I do.

You only came to Spain for me.

I just wanted to help with money.

As long as I'm with you,

you'll never need to worry about money.

You cannot protect me forever!

Don't treat me like a kid anymore.

Hello.

How can I help?

We've got roses and lilies.

Pink, yellow and more.

They are all very fresh.

See if there's anything you like.

We also sell single flowers.

A single rose or lily.

They just arrived today.

Goodbye.

Hello.

Looks like you enjoy working here.

I do.

It's such a pretty shop.

The pay is good too.

Why are you the only one here?

The owner went out to restock.

I haven't sold a single flower today.

Is the owner a guy or a girl?

A guy.

An extremely handsome guy.

Hello,

I'll take two lilies please.

Mister, lilies are not fresh today.

Then get me two flowers, anything would do.

Sorry, mister.

We don't sell "anything" here.

Why don't you dodge?

Are you still mad at me?

I'm not.

I don't have time for that.

Alright.

I'll allow you to work here.

But be careful when you make deliveries.

Don't go to dark alleys alone.

Also,

make sure to put your study first.

You have to get good grades.

Understood?

Understood!

Alright. You should leave now.

I don't want the owner to see us chatting.

Hurry and leave.

Work hard and stay safe.

Luo Rui.

How are you?

I haven't heard your voice in a while.

It's because you didn't call me!

That's how I make you miss me more.

How's it going? Is everything alright?

I'm doing well.

What about you?

Have you got any good news for me?

Did you get a scholarship?

That's no big deal.

Do you know

I also got in the orchestra of our school?

I've only been here for two months.

But guess what the teachers said about me?

They said,

"Wow, genius!"

I did well, didn't I?

Are you proud of me?

I'm now the only Asian in the orchestra.

Congrats.

If only you were here to watch me perform.

You play the piano so well.

One day, you'll become a famous pianist

that tours around the world. I can go see you then.

That time might come soon.

My orchestra also performs in foreign countries.

If we go to Barcelona...

Save me a ticket!

Of course.

I'll get you the best seat in the front row.

I'll be happy as long as I get to watch the show.

Lianxin.

Later this year,

my parents and I will go visit you.

For real?

Will Uncle and Auntie come see me?

Of course. Why would I lie?

You need to take care of yourself.

Don't let others bully you.

Don't worry.

I would never let anyone bully me.

Don't you worry about me.

Go practice your piano!

Alright. I'll leave you to it then.

Why is he not picking up? Weird.

Yuqiu, I'm off. Bye.

Goodbye.

3 Missed Calls from Lianxin

That's it for today's lecture.

Next week, we'll have a ball.

I hope you can all be there,

alright?

Sure.

Goodbye.

Bye-bye.

Lianxin.

Why are you looking so down?

The ball is an exciting event.

I don't have a date.

That's no problem at all.

You're a cute girl.

Just let the guys in our class know,

and they'll queue up to be your date.

I've got strict requirements for my date.

Then, what do you think of me?

Not much.

Your brain is not fully developed.

Oh, right.

Don't you have a relative here?

Your uncle, right?

At least you can take him.

But I think

it would be a pity if you did bring him.

Why is that?

It's your first ball, right?

A little princess attends her first ball

with her uncle as the date.

Imagine that!

What's wrong with my uncle?

He might be old,

but he's definitely more of a gentleman

than you callow brat.

A ball?

You should take Alex.

So, the only school event you're willing to go to

is the parent-teacher meeting.

That's not what I mean.

Your classmates mistook me as your uncle.

Who would take their uncle to a ball?

What's so funny?

You really act like an uncle.

Let me have a look.

You do seem you've aged a lot, old man.

Watch your words.

You actually look more like a grandpa.

Santa Claus!

Stop it.
