Episode 29

Jianing and Dr. Qin,

are together in a foreign country.

Do you think that this time

something romantic would happen?

Is Zhou Xiaoshan coming back?

What do you mean?

He asked me on WeChat just now

if the headquarter

approved his resignation or not.

Two people alone in a foreign country.

Something romantic did happen between them.

What do you mean?

Before, I always ran from the reality.

But I don't want to run anymore.

I want to go back,

and fight with you.

I want to clean up my act

to live a completely different life.

Hello?

Ms. Qiu, a lady is

waiting for you at the cafe downstairs.

I don't have an appointment.

She says her name is Mo Li.

Then you'll understand.

I see.

What do you want to say? Finish it quickly.

It's late. I need to rest.

I'm here to talk to you about my brother.

What about him?

Is it personal thing or work thing?

If it's personal thing,

I don't have anything to do with him now,

so you don't need to talk to me about him.

If it's work thing,

well, I don't need to talk to you about work.

Ever since my brother came back,

he has been miserable.

I know you still love him.

He left you

because of unspeakable reasons.

Now he indulges himself in gabbling.

He is losing himself.

Qiu Jianing.

My brother really loves you.

His love for you even surpassed

his own imagination.

Even when Xianglan left him,

he wasn't heartbroken like this.

Are you done?

I'm curious.

Aren't you in love with Zhou Xiaoshan?

Then why are you here

talking to me about these things?

I used to think that

as long as I love him,

no matter what he did before,

we can be happy together.

But Zhou Xiaoshan helped me realize that

it's hard for someone to get rid of the past.

Have you ever thought

the reason he can't get rid of his past,

is that no one gave him chance to do so?

Do you think you can save him by loving him?

It's not that simple.

You can't live in the vacuum of love.

There are many other things in this world besides love.

Do you know why I came back?

Because Zhou Xiaoshan came back.

Because your stepmother hinted

that I'm not qualified to be Qiu Jiaxin's friend.

I didn't go to university.

I don't have parents.

Your stepmother has always believed that

I was coveting your family's wealth.

No matter how nicely Jiaxin treats me,

under this kind of discrimination,

how can I still be her friend?

But I don't want things to be like this either.

No one is born this way.

We have asked the world for help,

and hoped it can pull us up.

And what?

All it gave me were slaps in the face.

And gradually,

we got used to it.

Even if someone really wants to help us,

we are scared.

We become cowards.

So we back out.

And then,

the people help us

would think we are ungrateful.

So they will stop reaching out to us.

Qiu Jianing,

I'm begging you.

Can you

reach out to my brother again?

Maybe this time it will be different.

Have you booked the fight ticket?

Yes.

I'll take the same fight as Qiu Jianing.

Did she forgive you?

She has no choice.

That's what I'm talking about, Xiaoshan.

Uncle Zha,

before I go back,

I want to make another phone call to my mom.

Can I?

I'll inform Si.

Mom.

Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan.

Mom.

You are home alone. Remember not to smoke too much.

Okay.

Xiaoshan, when will you come home?

I miss you.

Xiaoshan,

when the mission is over,

go home and visit your mom.

Okay.

What are you waiting for, Jianing?

Let's board.

What are you doing here?

I'm going back to China.

Seriously?

Did you two get back together?

No.

No wonder you acted so strange.

It's because of this guy.

He is just going back for work.

Let's go.

Qin Bin,

I need to talk to you in private.

Wait a second.

Well?

Tell me.

What is Jiaxin to you?

What do you mean by that?

I ask you

is because Jiaxin is afraid to ask herself.

Okay, ask then.

What do you see her as?

A student?

An apprentice?

Or a sister?

Do you know what she sees you as?

What can she see me as?

Her mentor of course.

Or what?

She likes me?

Yes, Jiaxin likes you.

It's impossible.

Jiaxin wanted to tell you.

But that day,

you were busy celebrating Qiu Jianing's birthday.

You didn’t care about her at all.

Jiaxin is my best friend in China.

Although we separated,

but I hope she can get

the happiness that I can't have.

She is a brave girl.

But her bravery disappears every time when she sees you.

Master!

Jiaxin, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?

Master!

Have some water.

I don't want water.

Master.

Excuse me, who is Qin Bin?

Whose birthday is it?

Are you kidding me?

You forget your sister's birthday.

Is this cake for my sister?

Yeah.

What? Can't I celebrate her birthday if I'm not her boyfriend?

Master.

What do you want to say?

Master.

I...

I...

What are you trying to say?

It's not like you.

I...

You what?

I forgot.

You forgot?

You were in such a hurry to tell me something.

And now you tell me you forgot. Are you stupid or what?

I really forgot. You are right. I am stupid.

Okay?

Why are you so angry with me?

I hope you can treat her well,

and cherish her.

What is what is love?

What do you what do you love?

Love is the most complicated

encounter.

Qin Bin!

Mo Li,

I'm not sure when I can come back.

Don't do anything stupid when I'm not around.

What are you talking about, brother?

Won't you come back as soon as the mission is over?

Is there something you haven't let me know?

No.

Take care of yourself.

Master.

Jianing.

Let me help you with that.

Shut the door.

Here you go, Jianing.

Thanks.

You... You...

I should go home. See you.

Jianing, I've missed you.

Why did he come back with you?

Did you two...

He is just back for work.

Master,

what is going on between them?

What are you doing?

Keep your hands off me.

What's wrong, master?

Are you afraid of me?

You've never seen me as a girl.

And I've never seen you as a man.

Why can't I touch you?

Jianing, I should go back to the hospital.

I've been away for a week.

A lot of work is waiting for me.

Okay.

We are about to enter the clinical stage.

We'll often bother you then.

It's okay. My pleasure.

I'll leave then.

See you. See you.

Master, you... I...

Jianing, why is he suddenly so serious?

What happened?

Maybe he has important work

to do at the hospital.

Let's go.

Jianing, let me help you.

Jianing, tell me.

What is going on between you and Zhou Xiaoshan?

How many times have I told you?

He was so determined when he left.

Why did he suddenly come back now?

He can't be just back for work.

He came back for you!

There is something.

But it's not what you think.

Then what is it?

It's nothing to do with you nor me.

Anyway, he wants to come back to work.

And I need someone at work.

So here he is.

That's all.

And for the last time, don't ask again.

I don't believe you. You are lying.

Whatever.

Pour me a cup of coffee.

Hello, Uncle Zha.

Did you arrive?

Yes.

Let me tell you.

The client is rushing us.

Uncle Zha,

there will be no more formula.

What do you mean?

I've said it very clearly.

There will be no more formula.

You won't get the formula.

You never will.

I quit, Uncle Zha.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

are you being silly again?

Your grandma is still in my hand.

Grandma died long ago, didn't she?

What are you talking about?

The surgery was a success.

There isn't any tumor,

nor surgery.

Mom died long before that.

Mom.

Xiaoshan.

Xiaoshan.

Mom.

You are home alone.

Remember not to smoke too much.

Okay.

Mom quit smoking a long time ago.

I said such a strange sentence.

And she didn't correct me.

Uncle Zha,

how will you explain that?

How do I put this?

Xiaoshan,

you think you are smart.

Your mom is old.

Her ears are not as good as before.

Maybe she didn't hear you clearly.

Is that so?

Xiaoshan,

can you be sure that your mom is dead

just with a phone call?

Remember.

You are betting on your mom's life.

Of course I can't.

I hope Uncle Zha set me free.

So I can stay with my mom

for the rest of her life.

This is my only wish.

How wonderful life is!

So fair!

It couldn't be fairer.

Your mom died long ago.

Even before Xianglan.

All this time, you have taken the mission as an excuse

for preventing me from getting in touch with mom.

In the only few calls,

mom has always

been repeating the same words.

I thought it was because she was too excited.

Now that I think about it,

Uncle Zha,

you have been lying to me for so long.

Xiaoshan,

I didn't lie to you.

Ruan Wenzhao lied to you!

Don't forget he hates you.

Is that so?

Okay then.

Will you let me talk to mom

on the phone right now?

I'm asking you.

Enough, Xiaoshan.

You just need to remember.

I'm doing this for your own good.

For my own good?

Uncle Zha,

you are doing this for yourself.

I'm sorry, Uncle Zha.

I can't help you anymore.

Whatever I owed you,

I've already paid you back.

Now I just want you to set me free.

From now on,

I want to be an honest person,

one without secret.

I want to live under the sun,

have my own career, get married and start a family.

Uncle Zha,

from now on,

we have nothing to do

with each other.

Goodbye.

Xiaoshan.

Zhou Xiaoshan!

My gosh!

How complicated Zhou Xiaoshan's past is!

Jianing, will you forgive him?

I don't hate him. What's to forgive him for?

Are you saying you two will get back together?

I don't hate him doesn't mean I should love him.

But you do still have feelings for him.

And he also has feelings for you.

Why can't you two get back together?

I have figured it out.

Before,

I didn't want to

waste my time on anything

other than work.

But then I met Zhou Xiaoshan,

and I changed a bit.

Having gone through all those things,

now I'm surer about my belief.

I will devote my everything to work.

I won't let relationship get in the way of work ever again.

Jianing,

do you think you and my mentor can...

No way.

We are the same kind of person.

We are both rational.

Isn't that good?

It won't work if

two similar people are together.

Think about it.

If they are both quiet,

it'll be dull.

If they are both talkative,

they will fight.

Jianing,

where did you learn

this strange theory?

You will die alone if you don't change your mind.

Aren't you also alone now?

You crossed the line.

All right. I know you care about me.

I promise.

When the project is done,

I will find a nice guy,

and try to get myself married.

But,

for the time being, I should concentrate on work.

"For the time being".

It must be a really really long time.

Is Zhouxiao really back?

He was so eager to leave. And now he wants to come back?

Is it because

he regretted breaking up with Jianing?

Give me a break!

We tried so hard to set them up.

Have they ever thanked us?

Besides,

it's too late

to regret.

What if Jianing

regretted?

No way.

Men can't always do

whatever they like.

Women are not supermarkets.

Women also have self-esteem, okay?

What are you laughing at?

What about you and Mr. Sun?

Mo.

We are talking about

Zhou Xiaoshan and Qiu Jianing.

Zhang Yu,

talk to Zhou Xiaoshan.

I know you are up to no good.

Hey,

next time you gossip,

can you not take me with you?

No problem.

If that's what you want.

You still need to work on him.

Morning!

Morning, Xiaoshan.

Morning.

Xiaoshan, you are back!

You are back!

Xiaoshan, welcome back!

Jianing!

Jianing!

You are back!

Ms. Qiu!

Ms. Qiu!

Here are some gifts I bought at the airport.

Everyone gets one.

Thank you!

Thank you, Ms. Qiu!

You are welcome.

Tell everyone at R&D. We'll have a meeting this afternoon.

Okay, no problem.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jianing!

Come get your gift. Hurry!

What is it?

I like this one.

I like this one!

Dr. Qin is back!

Why are you so quiet today?

Did you miss me?

You wish.

It looks like

you didn't get the girl in your dream.

I'm over Jianing.

I went on this business trip for work.

Admit it.

If you really went for work,

you wouldn't be upset now.

You won't believe it.

What?

Before I went abroad, Jiaxin asked me

to take something for her friend, right?

So I met her friend there.

And she told me something.

She said that

actually, Jiaxin has always had feelings for me.

Can you believe that?

What are you laughing at? Is it funny?

Yes, it is.

It's too shocking.

Yeah.

It is shocking.

You...

Why did I

never realize

that Jiaxin has feelings for me?

No.

The spectators see the chess game better than the players.

You are the spectator.

Why didn't you realize it either?

I...

Yeah it's true I didn't realize it either.

Because this girl

hid it so well.

Why is this happening to me?

What will you do then?

I have no idea.

Didn't you always call yourself

the womaniser?

No.

This one is above my level.

I'll tell you another one.

Jiaxin will stay at the hospital.

And she chose to work under Deputy Director Qian.

What? Seriously?

You are her mentor.

But she chose Qian over you.

It's not right.

Didn't...

Didn't you just say she likes you?

How would I know what she thinks?

You know Qian.

If Jiaxin works under him,

her career is over.

Just ask her what is going on.

Okay, okay.

I see. I see.

I told you the news.

Can you lend me 500 bucks?

Get out.

After the press conference this morning,

we have got interview invitations

from two foreign media and six to seven domestic media.

We mainly introduced the research and development of our drug,

and its application.

As of I came back,

the articles about Plan O has been covered

by multiple media home and abroad.

And PLAN O has raised wide attention

in the whole world.

Mr. Huang is concerned about

the report of the scientific conference.

When can we submit it to the headquarter?

Today or tomorrow.

During the days I'm away,

is there any progress in the lab?

As for the factory, Mr. Sun and I

introduced the basic principles

of drug manufacture to the workers,

and taught them the operation of the new equipment.

Now some of the new workers

can operate as proficient

as the old workers.

Also,

we have got the four new drugs inspected by

professional quality control personnel.

And they all passed.

The quality difference is below 1 percent.

I'll continue working on it

until the quality difference

is decreased to 0.01 percent.

Good.

Everybody knows that,

after a break,

our colleague Zhou Xiaoshan

is back to our team now.

I hope everyone can

forget what happened before and corporate well.

Can we do that?

Yes.

That's all for the meeting.

You came back because of Jianing, right?

Yes.

I never thought you would be so frank.

Yeah, I am frank.

After some incidents,

I figured everything out.

I don't want to escape anymore.

Life is short.

It will be late

if I don't do it now.

Xiaoshan,

those girls out there are not easy to deal with.

Let me know if you need my help.

I should pay my own debt.

Okay.

I'm on your side.

Thanks.

Come in.

What do you need?

I'll go check on Mr. Wang later.

Do you want to come with me?

Okay.

So Xiaoshan is back.

What do you plan to do then?

Mrs. Wang.

You misunderstood.

Did I?

Do you know?

Before Mr. Wang got sick,

he came home looking very happy one day,

and told me you and Zhou Xiaoshan got together.

But then you two

suddenly broke up.

The night you broke up,

Mr. Wang sat in the study room almost all night long.

I'm sorry I made him worry.

Jianing,

I don't know how to put it.

Actually, I can see that

you still have feelings for each other.

When you are at my age,

you'll know.

Life is so short.

Don't make yourself regret.

I understand, Mrs. Wang.

Thank you.

Master,

why are you suddenly so nice

and buy me a meal?

You must be up to something.

Thank you, master!

Be serious!

I need to ask you something.

What is it?

Please ask.

I've been teaching you for a year, right?

Why did you choose that Deputy Director Qian,

not me?

Master, you knew.

Actually, I just want to have a new environment.

Is the environment at my office not good?

Why do you want to change?

I like new things.

Don't think too much.

New things.

Do you know Qian?

I'm telling you, you two are different kinds of person.

That way I can learn more.

There must be one out of three who can be my teacher.

You...

Master, I know it.

You want to continue to enslave me, don't you?

No way!

I...

Master, why do you stutter today?

Deputy Director Qian's office is right across yours.

If there is anything you need me to do,

just call my name.

And I'll be right there.

Is that okay?

Did you choose Deputy Director Qian

because of me?

Because of you what?

Master, say it.

Okay. Here we go.

Your good friend Mo Li told me everything.

That traitor.

Jiaxin, I'm sorry, I...

I'm so sorry.

What are you sorry for?

You're sorry because you don't like me?

Don't be.

I don't like you anymore.

You can be relieved.

Since

you already know it,

I can't work under you.

Or it'll be embarrassing, right?

Actually it's okay whether you choose me or not.

I'm just saying that Deputy Director Qian

is not a decent person.

I'm afraid he'll harm you.

You underestimated me.

I'd like to see how terrible he is.

Jiaxin,

why can't you listen to me?

I'm 9 years older than you.

Why can't you just

listen to me?

I know we are like this,

and you are angry with me.

I get it. But,

you should also think about your future.

Master,

thank you for your care.

I said

I'm over you.

I never blamed you before.

And I don't need to blame you now either.

Master,

anyway,

let me make this choice on my own.

Don't worry. No matter where I go,

I'll always remember I'm your student.

I won't disgrace you.

Enough about that. Eat shrimp.

I need to talk to you about something.

It's late.

You can go home.

Before we talk, you need to promise me.

Don't ask about me and Zhou Xiaoshan.

I don't care about the crap between you two.

Crap?

Please mind your language.

Okay.

What do you want to tell me?

That day at the airport,

Mo Li was there. Remember?

Yeah.

I thought she was to say goodbye to Zhou Xiaoshan.

But she talked with you.

Guess what she told me. She said,

Jiaxin likes me.

Right? You don't believe it either.

I was shocked too.

She never told me that.

Of course she didn't tell you.

I don't even want to tell you.

I feel embarrassed.

I talked with Jiaxin just now.

She said she is over me.

I think it's just

some kind of teenage crush.

And I can see she is really over me.

But,

there is another thing related to that.

Jiaxin will become an official resident,

and she chose

another doctor in our department.

But that doctor has a peculiar temper.

I worry that Jiaxin will get bullied.

So I hope you can persuade her

to choose me.

But it'll be more peculiar if she works under you.

Yeah, I know that.

It is inappropriate

to keep her by my side

when things are like this.

But you know Jiaxin.

Straightforward like her,

it's easy to like someone, such as me.

But with the traditional doctors,

I worry she get harmed.

I see your point.

Are you happy now?

Or are you jealous?

No.

Actually, I think

you two can make a great couple.

No no no.

I'm sincerely asking you for a favor.

Okay?

I know. I understand your point.

I'll talk to her.

Good.

Are you finished?

Go home.

Good night.

Qiu Jianing,

I'm willing to wait.

A month.

A year.

My whole life.

I will wait.

Mr. Zha is having an emergency call.

He'll be right here. Please wait for a second.

Xianglan never

smiles that happily in front of anyone,

except for Zhou Xiaoshan.

Where is Xianglan?

You hid her, didn't you?

I'll help you find Zhou Xiaoshan.

Wenzhao,

I don't want to make you.

Zhou Xiaoshan is my adopted son.

Your careless words

made me lose my capable assistant.

You are my daughter-in-law and my half-son.

This is what you should do for me.

Enough.

You've never seen me as your half-son.

As for Zhou Xiaoshan,

he's nothing but your dog.

A dog can become family.

He is my watchdog.

Enough talk.

I help you find Zhou Xiaoshan, and you tell me where Xianglan is.

Father-in-law,

we both know whether Xianglan is really dead or not.

And it's just a matter of time

that I find her.

Now you can threat me

with her.

But once I find her,

everything you do will be in vain.

Wenzhao,

we are family. So I won't lie to you.

As long as you take Zhou Xiaoshan back,

you can

meet Xianglan.

Deal.

Jianing,

why are you so nice today

and make me breakfast?

We need to talk.

What's wrong? Why are you so serious?

Why didn't you

choose Qin Bin?

Did he tell you too?

He is so annoying!

You are all annoying!

Why does everyone ask me why I didn't choose him?

Who is he?

Do I owe him or what?

Why should I stay with him for my whole life?

Isn't he the person you like?

Did he tell you that?

How nosy is he?

Now everyone knows it.

It's over. I don't like him anymore.

Since you liked him,

why did you help him go after me?

I am an idiot. Satisfied?

Jiaxin.

All right, Jianing.

As a matter of fact,

for a long time,

I had respected and loved him as my mentor.

But ever since you rejected him,

I suddenly thought that

he is so mature and charming.

Then I realized I was having feelings for him.

Then go after him!

Aren't you a person who

fears nothing?

Thanks for your compliment.

He doesn't like me.

Why do I put myself in a no-win situation?

I may as well find a new one.

Are you really over him?

Yes.

I hate to be a whining woman.

Okay.

Look at you right now.

It's as if you deserted Qin Bin.

He missed me.

It's his loss.

Okay.

Since you've moved on,

don't joke about your career.

Qin Bin is an excellent doctor.

I'll be happy if you can work with him.

Think twice about which doctor to choose.

Okay?

All right, Jianing.

You've become my mother.

Just eat your breakfast.

Good for you. You've learned how to make breakfast.

Jiaxin,

did you finish your graduation procedures?

Yeah, almost.

I heard that

your mentor Qin Bin

is a very excellent doctor.

And he is the youngest doctor in your hospital.

Let's invite him for dinner when you officially start to work.

You should learn from him.

Mom,

he will not be my mentor then.

I'll work under another doctor.

Why?

Is it because he doesn't want to?

No.

Dr. Qin has taught me a lot over the past year.

But I want to try a different mentor.

What...

I'm with you

on this.

However, career is not just about

yourself and your own ability.

It's also important

to have a right boss.

If you are with the right boss, it's like taking the elevator.

But if you are with the wrong boss,

it's like taking the stairs.

Father is right.

Deputy Director Qian will be promoted to director next month.

Really?

That's nice.

He must be good at his work, too.

Director is better than deputy director.

Jianing,

Eat more.

Right, Jiaxin.

Are you available on Saturday?

Yes.

Auntie Chen said Ye changed his job.

He is now at a different club

in our city.

That makes it easier for you two to meet.

Mom, are you kidding me?

Did you take it seriously?

It's your marriage.

Of course I take it seriously.

Mom,

my sister hasn't got married yet.

How can I get married before her?

It's not right.

Jianing, why do you hit me?

I'm happy for you.

Your sister is right.

Look at you.

You'll turn thirty.

It's time you thought about your marriage.

Jiaxin,

if you meet the right person,

don't wait for your sister.

Just get married.

Jianing, look at dad! He's lost weight.

Let him have some fish.

Dad, have less fish,

and more vegetable.

It's so delicious.

What will you wear

for your Saturday date?

Remember, don't be late.

Or I'll tell auntie.

Qiu Jianing, shut up, will you?

Qiu Jiaxin,

auntie told me to look after you.

If you don't listen to me,

I'll let auntie look after you herself.

Qiu Jianing,

your own stuff is a mess,

and you are looking after me?

What?

If you laugh at me again,

I'll tell dad

everything about you and Zhou Xiaoshan.

Don't you dare.

So tell me.

Are you on my side or my mother's side?

How dare you?

Are you threatening me?

Qiu Jianing,

if next time my mother asks,

you should know what to say, right?

♪It’s unlucky that time is merciless♪

♪I can’t write it off♪

♪The reputation you left behind♪

♪You come, go, and squander time♪

♪In the crowds, sometimes distant, sometimes close♪

♪It’s not your fault I can’t let go of my feelings♪

♪Let your lonely shadow♪

♪Leave a mark in my youth♪

♪Please don’t turn around from now on♪

♪The sorrow you left for me♪

♪Is so gentle♪
