Forever and Ever

Episode 21

Has Shi Yi woken up?

I've informed the kitchen to make something nutritious.

We'll send it to her tomorrow.

She just woke up today,

so it's better for her to have something light.

I want to talk

alone with Wenchuan.

Since you brothers have things to discuss,

we'll take our leave then.

I'll walk you out.

Chen.

What's wrong?

As soon as I got back,

I heard that something happened to Miss Shi Yi.

Does this have

anything to do with you?

Chen, what do you mean?

Are you saying I'm a part of it?

That lake is not deeper than two meters.

Even if a kid falls in,

there will be plenty of time to save him.

Besides,

isn't Shi Yi fine now?

People should be cautious

near water.

It's getting colder with every rainfall in the autumn.

After this rain,

it'll be autumn.

Right.

It'll be autumn.

Qin Wan,

in all these years,

you've been taking care of the family business

on your own.

It's not been an easy journey.

Now that the kids are all grown up,

it's time for you to rest and enjoy yourself.

The kids are older,

but there are also more problems.

So busy that I

don't even have time for you all.

We are family.

Don't say that.

No need to accompany us anymore.

We should go.

Bye.

See you.

Here, have some water.

Thanks.

I think it was

an accident this time.

The boatman is one of Uncle Lin's men.

In other words,

all the workers in the mansion

have been replaced

by Uncle Lin and Uncle Chen.

So there shouldn't be any problems.

I've thought about it.

Let's take this as a warning to him

for what happened to you that night.

If that's the case, then what I did was not

crossing the line.

Shi Yi is up, right?

She is.

By the way,

why is Wenxing in your place?

She had a fever last night

and no one could do anything about her.

It didn't seem proper for me

to go into your mother's yard.

So I asked them

to send her to me.

I know how to

deal with her.

After all,

she grew up under my watch.

Compared to Zhou Wenchuan and me,

you are more like her brother.

Wenxing, what are you doing out here?

Here.

Chen,

I want to see Shi Yi.

You can go tomorrow.

You just had a fever.

I'm sorry.

If I'd known sooner...

I'm sorry.

No one would have wanted this to happen.

You don't understand.

I want to apologize in person.

Right now.

Let her go.

Otherwise,

she'll have trouble sleeping

and it'd cause more problems.

Fine.

Wenxing wants to check on you.

She is downstairs.

Tell her to come up now.

Let's measure your body temperature first.

You're still having a slight fever.

Are you having a headache?

A little.

Anything else?

A slight stomach ache.

Your brain was deprived of oxygen for a while.

So these symptoms are normal

for someone that suffocated in water.

You'll feel better in a couple of days.

Get some rest.

Shi Yi.

I'm sorry.

I should've been more cautious.

I made you jump in to save me.

It was my fault.

I didn't know you couldn't swim.

When they were saving you,

Chen's face turned pale.

He didn't say anything else

but your name

when he was beside you.

I was really scared.

Terrified.

If anything happened to you,

Chen would hate me to death.

He would not.

He loves you.

All right.

It's fine now, Wenxing.

I'm fine, aren't I?

Stop crying, honey.

Both of you

need to rest.

Stop crying.

It'll slow down recovery.

Poor thing.

She can't stop crying.

And Chen can't say the right thing to stop her.

The only person that make her stop

is Meixing.

Wenxing doesn't feel strong now.

I'll send her back.

Go and take care of Shi Yi.

Fine.

Come on.

Let's go.

Chen.

Your grandma didn't

get up today.

We thought she was reluctant to get up

because of rheumatism.

But then she started to talk nonsense.

What's the current situation?

We already talked to the doctor.

The doctor said

that she is just old

so she becomes easily confused.

If anything happens here

with Shi Yi,

call me.

I'll go over now to see her myself.

Sure.

Chen.

You've had a long day.

You haven't rested

since yesterday.

My mom

lives here

on her own.

Thank you for keeping her company.

And about Wenxing,

I know

that you are the most worried one in the whole family.

They are not only your family members,

but also mine.

For me,

family is always worth the effort.

Thank you.

Mom,

Shi Yi

is also my family,

someone close to me.

I don't want her to feel wronged.

Shi Yi...

What Shi Yi wants

is nothing else

but a

normal relationship

with her family.

Granduncle.

You are back.

We made some porridge in the morning.

She didn't feel like eating

and only had a little.

This was just cooked.

Give it here.

You...

What are you doing?

I'll go add a quarter spoon of white sugar.

Having something sweet now is bad, right?

There is also dried meat floss.

Shi Yi likes it this way.

I'll go and get the sugar.

Wait for me here.

Why didn't you have the porridge?

It's too plain.

You should try to have some.

I'll feed you.

It's sweet.

Where were you last night?

I went to go check on grandma.

Is she feeling unwell?

She is better now.

What about Wenxing?

Wenxing is not doing

well now.

Then why did you bring her here to see me?

She insisted.

I couldn't talk her out of it.

A lucky jade.

Right.

A lucky jade.

Please keep me safe.

The other day,

how did you fall into the water?

The boat was turning around

when Wenxing lost her balance.

I wanted to keep her steady

but fell in instead.

You lost your balance?

Maybe I

stood too close to the edge.

It was not flat where I stood

so I tripped and fell.

Here.

I don't want any more.

Lie down with me for a while.

Lian Sui said you barely had any sleep.

You must feel exhausted.

Finish your porridge first.

If I finish the porridge,

you will have to lie down with me.

As long as you eat it all up,

I'll lie down with you.

You are so annoying.

Here.

♫Time can't steal memories♫

♫With all my strength♫

♫To find traces of you♫

♫Spring flowers and autumn moon♫

♫Hidden in my heart♫

♫Write words for you♫

♫Tenderly and carefully♫

♫Rewrite the end of the past♫

♫Let the story continue♫

♫You're in my dreams♫

♫It's getting clearer and clearer♫

♫When the heart beats, one, two, three, four♫

♫It starts to tremble♫

♫The rhythm of love is composed for you♫

♫Go to the end of the world with you♫

♫And be your companion for a lifetime♫

♫When every second of time♫

♫Becomes precious♫

♫Because of you♫

♫I know what heartache feels like♫

♫Forever and ever is like a dream♫

♫I'll still be with you♫

It's already dark.

You were too tired.

Take me to grandma's

tomorrow,

will you?

But you have not recovered yet.

You need to rest.

I'm fine.

For real.

Grandma likes me.

She'd be happy to see me.

Just take me.

If you must visit her,

then you might need

to prepare yourself first.

She might not be able

to recognize you now.

She was fine

the last time we saw her, right?

Are you hungry?

A little.

I'll go and cook up something

for you.

Wait here.

Mother.

Auntie.

You look better.

Are you feeling better?

Much better.

I'll be fine after a few more days.

Young people recover fast,

but you cannot be careless.

It's all right to rest for a few months

after going through something so traumatic.

Do not be careless,

got it?

Yes.

Grandma chased me out.

It's better for me to leave.

You guys go ahead.

By the way, Chen.

Grandma is now confused

and thinks Jiaren is pregnant.

Don't burst her bubble.

Make her feel better for me.

All right.

Miss Shi, thank you

for visiting grandma.

Sure.

Your mom's sudden kindness toward me

makes me a little afraid.

What are you afraid of?

I can't tell.

What happened?

Why is she suddenly like this?

Come on.

Let's go in.

I'm too old now.

Who knows

if I can meet the baby?

Of course, you can.

We are counting on you to give him a nickname.

Really?

Your nickname

also came from me.

Right.

How time flies.

Now you are already going to have kids.

Chen.

Grandma.

Who is this?

Grandma.

This is Shi Yi.

My wife.

Nice to see you, grandma.

Wenchuan,

you brothers

barely see each other.

Now that the two of you are here,

why are you two not talking?

Our wives are here to chat with you

and we are good here watching.

Grandma, we came here

to see you.

We juniors have plenty of time

to talk to each other.

Have a seat.

Have a seat.

Sit.

A gentleman has three prohibitions.

When he is young and immature,

he should refrain from sex.

When he is an adult and mature,

he should refrain from competing.

He should refrain from competing.

When he is old and weak,

he should refrain from being proud.

You brothers

are now adults and mature.

Remember to not

fight each other

over some lousy possessions.

Not everyone has the luck

to have brothers.

Grandma.

You are overthinking this.

Chen and I are fine.

Grandma,

it won't happen.

They are siblings.

Even if anything happens,

I'm here to help.

Right, grandma.

You are overthinking it.

Shi Yi.

Grandma.

Shi Yi.

It's our first time meeting.

I don't know

what you like.

I have these prayer beads

of 18 Buddha pearls.

I want you to have them.

Let's go and get them.

Grandma,

you have already asked Zhousheng Chen

to give them to me.

Have I?

Yes, grandma.

She already got them.

Good, good, good.

I had been waiting to give them

to my eldest grandson's wife.

Thank you, grandma.

Mrs. Zhou asks you two

to join her for tea tomorrow.

I heard from Wenxing

that you read many ancient books.

Only some.

I think the words and sentences in ancient books

are just beautiful.

What are your favorite ones?

There's no specific type.

I like both the published ones

and the collected ones.

A girl that likes reading.

I like that.

What made you

fall for Zhousheng Chen?

I heard

that you communicated with each other via email for six months.

When you only knew

that he was a researcher

and nothing else,

why did you agree to marry him?

Actually

he has many attractive

characteristics.

For example?

For example,

the day we met each other in Xi'an.

It was a coincidence

and he left

briefly after.

He said

that if the rain stopped,

we'd talk about meeting up.

The rain stopped eventually at midnight

and he really sent me an email

which was very cute.

In the email, he said that it was 4:36am

when he left the lab and it was not raining.

And if it doesn't rain

at 11:30am,

then let's meet at Azure Dragon Temple at 12pm.

It was just an email

but it showed a lot.

It showed that he was disciplined and sincere.

A man that would keep his words.

They are all

the things I like about him.

What if he was faking it?

What if he was pretending so that you would like him ?

No way.

During our six months of email communication,

every one of his emails

were like that.

His emails

always make me laugh.

I've never met someone that is so

adorably disciplined.

Adorable?

Everything he does

seems adorable to me.

So adorable

that as long as I'm thinking about him,

no matter how busy work is,

I could never feel tired,

and no matter how annoying things become,

I would never be bothered.

I never thought

that you'd like him

because you think he is adorable.

Tell me more,

your perspective is very refreshing.

As his mom,

I've never seen this side of him.

From you,

I get to know him better.

I asked him

why he would dedicate himself to science.

He said that he wanted

to make more people happy.

It's odd.

I used to hate it

when people say fancy things like that,

but he is the only exception.

As long as it's him,

I'll totally buy it

and believe that's what he thinks.

Not at all would I think he's trying to fool me.

Looks like

you are the perfect girl for him.

However,

I still insist

on my previous thought

that you are not the right person for this family.

You come from a good family,

not very rich or powerful,

but very knowledgeable.

Your parents are happy.

You don't have siblings

or a complicated social life.

You have stable life routines

and stable things to do.

You have regular work

yet it's also flexible.

Is it all true?

Yes.

I stay with my parents on weekends.

On workdays, I read in the morning

and work from noon

to midnight.

All I have to face to are the scripts

and the recording directors.

When I just started to work,

I didn't go to a fixed recording studio...

Later on I got my own studio,

I didn't need to run around anymore,

so there were less people for me to meet.

Besides,

I don't like offline activities,

so I barely attend any.

You've known your coworkers for years

and have several close friends.

Your social circle has always been small and intimate.

I like to put my time

into working and reading.

The rest

I spend it with my parents.

A simple social life

suits me better.

You've made such a

good life for yourself.

You have such a good job.

Why don't you go back

to your own life?

Shi Yi,

listen to me.

A few decades ago,

Ren's mom

passed away from an accident.

To protect Ren,

we decided to tell him about it

several years later.

However,

the entire Zhou family could not let it go.

The fourth uncle even called the police

to investigate me.

It was chaotic.

Until today,

the fourth uncle and I haven't seen each other.

Of course,

the fourth uncle is an honest and decent person,

he was also used by those relatives.

I never really blamed him for anything.

In a big family

like ours,

with so many people.

It's just like a small society.

Where there are both good and bad people.

Some people are good

while some are bad.

Some of them

may not do anything bad,

but they are far from being nice.

They'd only give you a hard time

and wish you a bad life.

It would be fine

if they were just strangers.

Unfortunately, they are your relatives.

What should you do with them?

You don't even like

complicated relations.

Why must you make yourself suffer

and join our big family?

Mom.

You look good.

What are you doing here?

You secretly invited Shi Yi for tea..

So I came to have some as well.

What were you guys talking about?

We were talking about...

We were just talking about Shi Yi's painting.

Mr.Chen is usually

hermitic and proud,

yet he said so many nice things about Shi Yi.

I like that painting too.

Too bad Grandpa Chen got it.

Why don't you paint more one

and we can keep it at home?

Why don't I try to recreate it ?

It's very similar.

It's almost 70 to 80 percent alike.

But the feelings are very different.

It looks the same to me.

Shi Yi's painting is more

like the last lotus flower at the end of the summer.

Cold and distant.

While Chen's painting is freer.

It's more like the fresh lotus flower

in a green pond

at the beginning of summer.

My eldest brother is a fresh lotus flower

passionately waiting

for his partner to blossom.

So he is waiting for Shi Yi.

Is it similar?

Yes.

Look at how clean and pure the lotus flowers are.

Look at how clean and pure the lotus flowers are. It should be the same for the heart.

It should be the same for the heart.

Chen,

you are referring to a poem by Meng Haoran, right?

It goes well with this painting.

Look at how clean and pure the lotus flowers are. It should be the same for the heart.

Mother.

There you are.

Did Shi Yi draw this?

Chen drew it.

Chen?

Look at the lotus flower,

it is clean even though it's surroundings are muddy.

He wants to remind himself

that he should not be affected by worldly troubles

and to protect his own heart.

This painting

is for us.

Why is it for us?

He is not good at expressing himself

so this is the only thing he can do.

He is trying to tell us

that he cares about Shi Yi

from the bottom of his heart.

If it's not that,

then how can he

imitate her work so well

from only looking at it once?

Shufeng Garden

Seems like

I am not right for your family.

Neither am I.

Were you like this when you were a kid?

I was similar to you when you were a kid.

Could you get used

to living in such an environment

when you were young?

I could not get used to it and I did not like it.

But I couldn' t get rid of it.

I think blood relations

is the only connection

between people

that we can't get rid of.

I prefer a simple life.

You like Venus

better than Earth

where you live in.

Mars is also acceptable.

Do you regret it?

Suddenly coming back?

Back in Bremen

when you talked about these,

I did not know much about your family.

But now,

it looks like

no one wants you back.

I have no regrets.

No matter how much you achieve,

you should always try your best

to guard the ground beneath your feet.

If you can't,

your people will have no one

strong enough to rely on,

won't they?

Just like the Jewish people in old times.

No matter where they lived

in this world,

without a powerful homeland,

they could lose it all at any time.

You have too many things

stored here.

I'm fine with only occupying a small part.

But,

I want everything that's related to romantic love.

Sure.

It's all yours.

Lin Fei went to the lake

to get this fish this afternoon.

It's fresh.

Medicated diet coming through.

Is this all for me?

Your wife asked for it.

It's supposed to be very nutritious.

Granduncle.

Enjoy the food.

It's very nutritious.

You've been working too hard these days.

You can really use it.

I don't need any.

I looked it up online.

It's good for your health.

Try some.

Fine.

There is traditional Chinese medicine inside?

You had too much when you were young

and you don't like it now?

I don't fancy traditional Chinese medicine that much.

Bitter medicine is good for health.

And it's not even medicine.

It's just food that has medicinal properties.

It's tasty.

Just try some.

Have some more.

It's pretty good.

Where are you going?

Delivering grapes.

How many times are you doing this in one day?

Are you delivering grapes one by one?

Can't you give them some alone time?

I now wish

that they have already passed this passionate phase

and become an old couple

so

that they wouldn't feel bothered by me.

Gee,

he married her

for you, didn't he?

Can you give them some space?

None of your business.

Is something bothering you ?

Nothing.

I have been reading, haven't I?

You move around every other minute.

It doesn't seem like you're reading.

I...

You are not working either,

aren't you?

How else could you know

that I was not reading?

How about

we continue this on the bed?

No, let's do it here.

Granduncle!

Granduncle.

Come out for a minute.

I'm going out then.

Something happened.

I'll go and check it out.

You should rest early.
