Begin Again

Actually, I've already known

you're my father.

You look like my doll.

So, you can not only hold me in your arms, but pinch me.

My mommy loves pinching my face the most.

I'm quite adorable.

Daddy, can you stay with me forever?

I...

Episode 29

I...

I wanted to tell you something.

What's up?

Actually...

Actually...

You know, six years ago,

I went to talk to Lu Fangning.

And I told her that

you received the invitation

from the German Institute.

I...

I was trying to get her to talk to you.

But who knows that

she divorced you straight away.

And I certainly didn't expect that

she had a baby

and never told us.

Mom.

Easy.

It's not your fault.

I've been holding it all in

all this time.

I finally got the chance

to say it out.

It's okay. It's all over now.

-My heart hurts. -Pretty granny.

Do you feel uncomfortable?

Granny's heart hurts.

Let me pat it for you, pretty granny.

My baby.

Such a good boy.

My head hurts.

It hurts so much.

Pretty granny,

let me rub it for you.

Lu Youyou, my arm hurts.

Here.

-My shoulder hurts. -Pretty sis.

Let me rub it for you.

I'm gonna be your doctor,

just like Daddy.

Youyou.

Did you wash your hands?

Shut up.

It's been so long.

There's not even a phone call.

What the hell is going on?

Is he coming back or not?

Youyou got compromised?

That's impossible.

What kind of grown-up can handle those three moves?

Youyou must be sent back.

Youyou.

Youyou.

-Hello. -Hi.

What are you two doing here?

Is this because

you realized that you were being a little harsh last time,

so you came here to apologize?

We're all adults.

We should take responsibility for what we say.

All right, just back off.

Youyou.

Youyou,

godmother is here to check on you.

Where are you?

Look what I brought you.

All the finest toys.

Where are you?

I adore you so much.

Youyou.

Did you just hear that

she called herself "godmother"?

Yeah.

Didn't she always like to

compete with you?

This time she

let you be the mom, and she be the godmother.

That's not easy for her.

My son would never like her

with her silly moves like that.

Ridiculous.

What about you?

You must have come to apologize.

Youyou.

Is Youyou here, Pingping?

-No. -No?

I wanted to share

a short story with him.

You...

You wanna see my son, too?

I've written a new book.

There's a kid in there

about Youyou's age.

I want to take him as an example.

All right.

You two just stop.

Lu Youyou isn't here.

He's at his dad's home.

Biological dad.

You two brought

so many stuff.

It's kind of hard to carry around.

Just leave it here.

And about your new story,

actually, if there's a problem,

you can just talk to me.

I kind of have some experience in this area.

What a pity that Youyou is not here.

What a pity.

I just canceled a trip.

I haven't finished conceiving my new story yet.

I'll tell you about it next time.

Yeah, I'll give my gifts

to Youyou in person next time.

Yeah, I'll see you next time.

How could you two be like this?

You only care about the baby

but not the mom?

With all these stuff that you've brought,

none of them is mine?

I'll tell you what.

Since you two

want to see Youyou so bad,

I have an idea.

I can take you to him.

I know the address.

Did you drive?

I'll drive.

I drive fast.

You guys are my good friends.

If you want to meet Youyou,

I'm sure Ling Rui wouldn't mind.

Isn't there...

Something wrong.

What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with

helping to fulfill my friends' dream?

Was Lu Fangning

so helpful?

I don't think so.

She's never been like this.

And she said that

she is our friend.

That's even wronger

if she said you're her friend.

Yeah, what's going on?

How could she call me "friend"?

Oh, my. Lu Fangning.

Are you out of your mind?

That's enough.

You guys are enough.

I'm still here.

Well...

Actually,

I want to see Youyou, too.

Fighting for custody?

How could Dr. Ling be like this?

I'll tell you what.

I'm gonna transfer you some money.

No, it's not enough.

I'm gonna transfer a large sum of money

to you to hire the best lawyers,

and use my

influence in the media

to get some compassion

for a single mother like you.

All right, you need to stay out of this.

Is it wrong for Dr. Ling to do this?

She's been hiding the truth for six years.

Yeah, right.

Well, I'll give Dr. Ling some money.

Just a little bit

less than yours.

How is that?

He didn't do anything wrong.

I'm the one who's wrong.

We can't do this in the normal way.

Then just try some tricks.

What do you mean?

Seduction.

Is it different from what I did before?

Of course it's different.

You used to do it for love.

This is for...

Dr. Ling just wants a baby.

You give him one.

Problem solved.

You get one, and he gets one too.

It's perfectly fair.

Seduction.

Why you're like this?

Is one not enough?

Then two.

Or three?

Four should be enough.

It's exhausting to have babies.

I feel bad for you.

Thank you.

Is it a question of quantity?

It's not a question of quantity, then what is it?

Just say it if you have an idea.

With your brain,

I can only think of something like that.

So what's your plan?

Seduction.

Then what's the difference?

Isn't that what she just said?

Well, it's kind of a cliche.

To get a man's heart,

you have to get his body first.

Isn't that right?

Yeah.

Yes.

The original saying isn't like this.

The stomach is part of the human body.

-Exactly. -Look at yourself.

Trade yourself for

Dr. Ling's forgiveness.

It's a small price to pay.

And then you get two for the price of one.

What a great bargain.

Right.

Great bargain.

Here.

Cheers.

What's with the reaction?

I think someone's afraid.

Yeah.

Scared.

-Totally scared. -Exactly.

She used to know

thousands of tricks.

That's it.

How could she become such a coward now?

Who says I'm a coward?

Who says I'm scared?

So when are you gonna go?

Right now.

How about tomorrow?

It's getting a little late out there.

I'll go tomorrow.

I'll definitely go tomorrow. Sit down.

Let me check what your mom

packed for you?

Why did your mom get you

two towels?

Did she tell you

the usage?

Yes.

The yellow one is for washing my face,

and the blue one is for bathing.

Put it back where you found it.

Okay. Wait a second.

What?

We're gonna have to wash your face with this one.

Oh, yeah, then take it.

Take it.

What are you doing?

I'm holding a towel.

Give it to daddy.

Here.

-Daddy. -What's wrong?

You're so great.

You haven't seen me for five years,

and now you still take

mommy's feelings into consideration.

Are you still worried that

I might miss mommy?

No wonder mommy always says that

my daddy is an angel.

But I'm a good kid.

I'll be good and stay

with daddy.

I'm not gonna miss mommy.

Youyou is so sweet.

Daddy needs to take this.

Who's that?

Is mommy missing me?

Perhaps not.

Answer it?

Sure.

Hello.

Yes.

Tomorrow?

What is it?

Wait a minute.

All right, I get it.

I'll be there in the morning.

Yeah.

Okay, bye.

-Youyou. -What's up?

Daddy promised you that

I'm gonna take you out

to play tomorrow, right?

Yeah, why?

What's the matter?

Daddy might have to

apologize to you now.

What is it?

Is there anything wrong?

Because tomorrow

daddy has to go to the hospital.

It's an emergency that daddy has to take care of.

So daddy probably can't keep my promise.

Hospital?

I've got a new idea.

Daddy.

Can you take me with you?

Youyou wanna go to the hospital, too?

Yeah.

I want to see where

daddy works.

I'm a little doctor, after all.

You're a little doctor, too.

Yeah, you forgot?

I treated my grannies.

You treated your grannies?

Daddy almost forgot.

Alright.

Daddy is gonna take you to the hospital tomorrow.

That's so good!

Let's go wash my face.

You're gonna wash your face?

Wash my face.

Go, go, go.

Wash your face.

Wash your face.

So cute.

So handsome.

So lovely.

Have you watched enough?

He's so cute.

I have to

consult with the departments in a while.

Youyou has to stay here for now.

Please take care of him for me.

Don't worry, director.

We will definitely take good care of

your excellent achievement.

That's not necessary.

You guys should be careful.

Be careful of what?

Baby.

Daddy's gonna

have to go to work for a while.

You stay here,

but do not disturb

these aunties and uncles,

OK?

Okay, daddy.

High five.

One more time.

Bye.

My heart melts.

Thank you.

This little face.

Don't scare him.

Little fingers.

Hey, there.

My last name is Yang.

You can all me Dr. Yang, okay?

Hi, Dr. Yang.

Good boy.

Is that my godson?

Get up, get up.

Let me have a look.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Get your hands off.

You know who I am, right?

No.

I've finally met you.

I'm your godfather.

I already have a godfather.

Listen to me.

The other Daddies are

not important than me.

Me and your dad

grew up together.

And then we've been

best friends for over a decade.

In the hospital,

we're also the best partners

and the best competitors.

As from today,

I'm your curly haired godfather.

Come here.

Yeah.

Closer.

Yeah.

It feels so good.

No wonder daddy

likes to touch mommy's head.

He has got a sense of humor.

This is much different from

what Ling Rui is like.

Don't you guys have tasks?

Back to your work.

-Let's go. -What about you?

Where's Ling Rui?

He has a consultation.

How could I get the phone number?

Come here, let godfather hold you.

Careful, careful.

Youyou.

Let godfather ask you a question,

OK?

OK.

Do you know

a friend of your mom

whose name is Tang Ping?

A friend of my mommy?

You know, the one who

might be a little silly

when she looks at you,

and kind of stupid

when she talks.

The one who is stupid and loud,

but my mommy still puts up with?

Yeah, it's her.

Do you have her number?

No.

But I have mommy's number.

Well, can you give me

your mommy's number?

Come over here.

-Professor Luo. -Professor Luo.

Okay.

Hi, Professor Luo. My name is Youyou.

My daddy is Ling Rui.

You know me?

Yeah.

Daddy told me that

Professor Luo is his teacher,

just like his daddy.

So you're

just like Youyou's grandpa,

very important.

What a smart kid.

He is like our treasure

of the medical industry,

and the future of general surgery dept.

Wait a minute.

Come on, kid.

It's a gift from grandpa.

I specifically picked out the one with pictures.

You can take a look.

I'll teach you whatever you don't know.

Professor Luo, are you...

Grandpa.

When did my dad

read this book?

Eighteen years old.

Freshman in college.

Well, then I can't read it now.

Why?

Because I'm only five years old.

If I read this book

so many years earlier than daddy did,

daddy might think that I'm

so much smarter than him,

and he is gonna be sad.

Grandpa.

Let's just think of it

as our secret.

Don't make daddy feel bad.

Our secret. Alright.

Here.

Let's keep this between us.

OK.

Let's make a deal.

This kid's too smart.

He's like a prodigy.

Dr. Ling was right.

It's us who should be worried.

I'm leaving.

Mom.

Auntie.

Auntie, I...

I'm here to pick up my son.

I'm not here to do...

bad things.

Why that reaction?

What's going on?

She...

What if your scream...

It's over.

...disturbed our neighbors?

Did you just see a ghost?

Yeah.

Lu Fangning, the ghost.

She is right outside the door.

At the door.

I got this.

What are you doing?

Aunt...

Auntie...

I...

You're here all of a sudden.

I didn't have time to prepare.

Why don't you just keep

these books?

We'll fill in the rest later.

By the way.

I highly recommend this one.

"Was It the Chocolate Pudding?"

You know what.

If it's mishandled,

usually

the children would think of

their parents' separation as his fault.

All right, that's it.

OK.

Study hard.

OK.

-I... -Keep learning.

OK, hey...

Two for the price of one?

Now I can't even keep

the little one.

Mother changes the kid's life

before the age of 13.

Who took away the child's happiness?

Me?

The emotional stages of childhood and adolescence.

Mama and Daddy Bear's Divorce.

What are you doing?

I take out the trash.

You've already opened the door.

It's my turn.

I throw the trash in her face.

You're violating public cleanness.

Just one bag.

Go ahead.

Don't worry about her.

Here you go.

Watch carefully.

Ling Rui and Youyou are in the hospital.

There's still someone nice

to me in this family.

Thanks.

I'll take the trash for you.

Youyou, did you like the candy?

Let me take you

to get something better, okay?

Thank you, sweet sis.

Lovely.

Let's go.

You can't let your guard down.

He is really something.

Get lost.

Why are you getting this everywhere?

Let me help you with that.

Dr. Yu.

Ling Rui's kid?

Hi, auntie. I've seen you.

Have you?

Did this auntie see me

and then purposely walk around me?

Youyou, what did you just say?

This auntie has got my attention successfully.

Sis,

I'm not going to buy food.

I'll just be in the office waiting for daddy.

All right then, let's go.

Should I go in there?

If I go in now,

what would Ling Rui's colleagues think?

If I don't go in there,

then I got the door slammed at my face

three times for nothing.

And even...

And even carried these books for nothing.

How dare I take the initiative?

I'll be lucky to get out of this alive.

We're off work, I can finally ask you.

Is Dr. Ling's ex-wife

really that awesome?

Yes, of course.

Or else how could she

have such a smart kid like Youyou?

Yeah.

But why would she

divorce Dr. Ling?

They said it was

because of personality.

Divorce is actually normal.

But director Ling

is so close to Dr. Yu.

Anyway, she is ex-wife.

What ex?

You heard Dr. Ling said that

he's got a girlfriend?

Cut the crap.

I saw it all.

Director Ling has the ring on his finger.

Stop it.

Lower your voice. Don't let Youyou hear it.

It's gonna bring shadow to the kid's heart.

Let's go.

Right.

I didn't even ask

if Ling Rui is still single.

Auntie, would you like some candy?

I've got some really good candies.

No, thank you.

Ling Rui's not here,

why don't I just take Youyou away?

Am I cute, Auntie?

Cute.

No water.

I'll get it.

Auntie, drink water.

Thank you.

What's wrong with Youyou?

Got compromised so easily?

This doctor

looks kinda familiar.

Isn't that the one who had a blind date with Ling Rui?

Auntie, do you like me?

Just so so.

That's what my little grandpa said.

You guys are alike.

I'm so unique.

How can I be like your grandpa?

No.

Little grandpa's so boring.

You're more interesting.

You think I'm interesting?

Yeah.

What about your daddy?

Do you think he's good?

Of course he is.

How about this?

Take your daddy as your standard,

can you find someone like your daddy

among all the people around you.

Wouldn't that be perfect?

But someone like daddy...

It's hard to find, right?

Your daddy already has your mommy.

Auntie's all alone.

I'm so lonely, kid.

Yu Shiyi.

The talent girl in med school.

Lu...

Nurse Liu.

How do I look?

Fine.

Compared to before?

As beautiful as ever.

Do I get it on my teeth?

No.

Youyou.

Mommy.

Mommy is here. Are you happy?

Yeah.

Go ahead, go to the toilet.

Mom, I don't want to go to the toilet.

Yes, you do.

Yeah.

I suddenly wanna go to the toilet.

Good. Slow down.

Careful.

Hello.

Hi, I'm Lu Fangning.

I know.

I'm Yu Shiyi.

I'm Youyou's mother,

Ling Rui's ex-wife.

I'm a classmate and colleague of Ling Rui.

I know I have pretty hands.

But Ms. Lu

doesn't have to

keep holding it.

I feel that

Youyou kinda likes you.

This little guy

is not that much annoying like

the other kids.

What does she mean?

Is she saying Youyou is annoying?

Thanks.

Probably inherited

some good genes from me and Ling Rui.

But I think he is

more like Ms. Lu.

This woman

is saying that Youyou is not like Ling Rui?

I know you.

Ling Rui told me that

you two were in the same study group in college.

He said that

it was a very pure learning relationship.

Young and naive.

Well, we were a bit naive.

But it's better now.

We're in the same dept.

Our relationship could be closer.

To what point?

Speaking of which,

my relationship with Ling Rui

is closer.

So close that we have a baby.

But I've heard that

you two have

divorced for six years.

You know, Ling Rui

didn't even go to Germany for you.

For such

minor emotional injury,

he gave up his dream.

It's just not worth it.

Worth it or not is not up to you.

Well, as far as I know,

because of me, Ling Rui didn't even

change his phone number in these six years.

He knew I have stomachache,

so at the moment he met me,

he told me to

to drink less coffee.

The other day, I was

a little uncomfortable,

he just dragged me to the office

and checked on this

and that...

Checked on this...

Excuse me.

Ling Rui's cell phone number

hasn't been changed

since college.

If it's truly as

what you just said,

was he waiting for me?

And Ling Rui is a doctor.

Do you know the nature

-of a doctor? -Daddy.

-You're back. -It's that no matter who he sees,

-he'll think he or she has got an illness. -Why are you here?

Perhaps

when he saw Ms. Lu,

he would think your condition is worse.

Now, as Ms. Lu said just now,

about worth it or not

is not up to me.

Then is it up to you?

I'm sure it's not up to me either.

Ling Rui's own matter

is only up to him.

That's right.

Then how do you know

he won't be with me?

I just know.

Why?

Because Ling Rui is virtuous.

When he is nice to me,

he would never

show other women excessive attention.

And what about you?

Do you deserve a good man like Ling Rui?

In the last six years,

wasn't there anyone else in Ms. Lu's life?

Of course I'm worth it.

Besides,

I've got a good man

like Ling Rui.

Who else am I gonna like?

Why are you laughing?

Ms. Yu.

Dr. Yu.

Dr. Yu, I'm sorry.

Never mind.

Ling Rui.

When did you get here?

Just now.

That's just the way she is.

I apologize on her behalf.

It's alright.

I fully understood it

just now.

Why are you apologizing for me?

What do you know?

For my sake, forget it.

I'll treat you next time.

Good.

Well, let's go to the place

we used to go all the time.

I'll keep that in mind.

No problem.

Ms. Yu.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Ling Rui.

I'm sorry.

I just

overreacted just now.

But...

But what?

I wasn't being nice. I admit it.

But you don't have to apologize

for me to Dr. Yu.

Really.

You just defended her like that.

Is it because she's your...

A colleague and a classmate.

I don't think so.

Lu Fangning.

Why did you

say those things to Dr. Yu just now?

What did I say?

Like I wouldn't get involved with anyone else,

I'm the best man

in the world,

and that

you're not gonna be with anyone else.

This is all because...

I was defending for him.

He's our son.

His image,

your image, and my image

are all important, right?

Mom, I wasn't there.

Youyou.

Cover your ears.

Mama, I'm covering my ears

but I can still hear you.

Then...

Well, then you just...

Just go sit there.

Go. Run with your short legs.

Okay.

You can say it now.

I...

I did this for

the happiness of Youyou

in the future.

Really.

Actually, Ling Rui,

I know you're a

mature man.

You have your own requirements

of your family and your relationships.

I can fully understand it.

It's just that as Youyou's mom,

I think I have the right

to give you a heads up.

Just a heads up.

I think that

she's not the kind of person

in every way...

her personality, you know,

is not exactly suitable to be Youyou's

stepmother.

That's all?

Yeah.

OK.

I got it.

When I need something,

I'll let you know.

How about this,

I'll make a list of Youyou's preferences.

I'll text it to you later.

The kind that you'll never find

for the rest of your life.

Is there a reason that you're here?

If nothing,

I'm gonna go.

Youyou.

I got something.

What's the matter?

Could Youyou

come to my place tonight?

Lu Fangning.

We had a deal.

I know, and I just thought that

Youyou is still young now.

And then he just accepted you.

I mean, his living environment

is always changing.

I think he might not get used to this.

He might not sleep well either.

I don't see how uncomfortable he is.

Youyou can't leave me.

Well, he can't live without me either.

We need to get along.

You can see

how happy Youyou was

when he called me "Daddy".

Then...

The three of us...

The three of us get along together.

Okay.

Then the three of us get along together.

Tonight,

Youyou and I will go to your place.

You wait here for me.

I'm gonna go back to the office

to take care of something.

Youyou, come.

Daddy.

Daddy.

Youyou.

You stay here and watch Mommy.

Wait for me here, OK?

Okay, daddy.

-I'll take care of mommy. -Good boy.

Mommy, be good.

My books are still in the office.

How was it?

Shouldn't you thank me for what happened just now?

For what?

Didn't you hear?

Your ex-wife didn't

find a stepfather for your son in the last six years.

Apparently,

I'm the catalyst for your relationship.

I put a bait, then she directly came and bit it.

How did I not notice that

you like to meddle in other people's business so much?

Oh, please.

You enjoyed watching the show

at the door just now.

Your ex-wife

seemed intimidating.

But actually she is

only a little bit scary.

I just fooled her,

and she just believed it.

So you're enjoy fooling her?

Is that OK?

I mean, think about it.

Let her get jealous every day.

Your progress with her would speed up by four times.

You'll take off the word "ex" quickly.

Isn't that be a good deal?

No need, thanks.

Why?

Because there's no need.

Alright.

Then you can just be

alone for the rest of your life.

I'll make the rounds.

I gotta take this.

Hello.

Excuse me, are you...

Who is that?

Peng Bo, I'm Peng Bo.

Um...

Ms. Tang.

I'm wondering if you could take my phone...

Ms. Tang?

The evidence is pretty clear,

and you still denied?

Sis Pingping.

Yeah.

That's right.

Listen.

I'm gonna buy you a meal.

How about barbecue?

Okay.

I'll see you later.

I got it.

Bye.

Bye.

Here, I cooked this for you.

Eat up.

Thank you, sis Pingping.

I can finally have a piece of meat.

I've already eaten

salads for a month.

I'm so tired of that.

Sis Pingping.

You've to keep the diet if you want to lose weight.

Why don't you eat some vegetables?

You...

You eat it.

Caramel Apple 120.

What?

Nothing.

Caramel Apple 120.

I'm here.

Is there anything you want me to do?

No, I'm just calling you.

I think it's amazing.

You are a doctor

and a man.

How would you be my biggest fan?

Did you think that

I'm like a star since the first time you saw me?

Yes.

So?

So what do you

like about me?

Because of this.

I'm here again today

at the Deer Sing Furniture Market.

It's so fresh, too.

There's no smell of formaldehyde.

What formaldehyde?

It's a lie.

No.

Why do you play that?

You need to turn that off right now.

It's not bad.

Are you kidding me?

Sis Pingping.

I just think you're

very brave to go to

Deer Sing at that time.

Really?

Yeah.

So what other good qualities I have?

Give me more compliments.

You...

I don't think it's right to say in front of you.

What's the big deal?

As a fan,

compliment should be

your basic ability.

Let me just say more.

Go ahead.

Even though you have bad acting skills and parade your ability,

also you've done so many embarrassing things,

I'd like to thank god that

people don't take you

as a villain.

And you

always do things

without much consideration.

You never worry about the consequences,

you've offended a lot of people

including the fans behind them.

You may have a lot more haters than the fans.

I...

But...

But?

I think that

it's because you're thinking straight.

You would rather fight yourself

than do something

to please those people.

You're very kind.

You never do things

that might hurt people.

Even if you liked Ling Rui,

you didn't go

to expose the contract marriage

between Ling Rui and Lu Fangning, right?

And most importantly,

you've always been

really, really

genuinely trying hard.

Even if this doesn't work out,

and that doesn't work out either,

even if you're bad at acting,

even if you can't make it,

what does it matter?

Am I right?

Because we're all supporting you behind you.

Your compliment

doesn't sound good.

But why does it make me cry?

Let me have a look.

It's my endorsement. I can use it.

Um...

Do you want to go

to the restroom to refine your make-up?

Daddy, here you are.

Thank you.

Youyou is so good.

You can change your own shoes.

Come.

Youyou.

Why don't you play with your toys?

Daddy would like to have a talk with mommy.

OK?

OK.

That's my good boy.

He is really gonna sleep here today?

Is he...

Is he gonna sleep with me?

Do I really have to seduce him?

No, no.

I thought you were getting me water.

Why are you drinking it yourself?

You know.

It's cold water.

I want to get some hot water for you.

I'll get you some hot water.

Don't worry.

I'll just drink this.

Ling Rui.

I think that

you might wanna reconsider it.

You can go home tonight,

and then pick Youyou up tomorrow.

You can come in the morning.

Really.

It won't take too much of

your time together.

Lu Fangning.

I find that you

like to change your minds recently.

To educate a child,

his parents need to lead by example.

No.

It's just that

I don't have toothbrush for you,

razor or something else here.

We can order them online

And the sheets,

you know, clothes to change...

I can use yours.

Or

do you mind?

I don't mind.

Why would I mind this?

But...

But what?

But I snore in my sleep.

I didn't want to disturb your sleep.

You never had that problem before.

It just happened in the last six years.

It's so bad that can't even be cured.

I mean it.

So?
