This is today

TVC song deadline tomorrow

Read this when you wake up

Good morning, Lu Yao.

You must be confused right now.

There are many things you can't remember.

Because 18 months ago,

a peach-size tumor was found in your brain.

The doctor had to remove

part of your hippocampus during the surgery,

so you've lost the ability to create new memories.

You still remember

things from your life before the surgery,

like your family, work, and friends.

As for your new memories,

they perish in your sleep.

In other words,

every time you wake up,

anything or anyone you encountered the day before

is forgotten.

Lu Hong, what happened to me?

I found this big scar on my head

and a journal telling me

that I've become amnesiac.

Calm down and listen.

You make this call to me every day.

Finish reading the When You Wake Up journal.

Then come to my house.

Lu Hong.

Come in.

Lu Hong, whose child is this?

He's mine.

-Yours? -Yes.

Are you kidding me?

No, I'm not.

You've babysat him many times.

You made up with your ex?

Of course not.

Then who's the father?

I already told you, but you keep asking.

Here, hold the baby.

-Hold your nephew. -I can't.

Of course you can.

Don't cry.

How did you become so open?

I'm in a hurry.

He just woke up, so you have to feed him.

One level scoop of formula and 60 ml of water.

Put the water in first.

Read the sticky notes if you forget the steps.

-Also... -I can't do this.

I'll be having long meetings with the nurses today.

I'll be home late.

Help yourself to anything in the fridge.

The baby's schedule is here.

When will you be back?

Bye.

Hush.

Hush.

Lu Yao,

do you know why you're here today?

I'm here for a follow-up consultation.

That's right.

You have a condition called anterograde amnesia.

I'm your attending physician. Do you remember me?

Not at all.

Do you recall doing the mirror drawing test before?

No.

You've actually done that test 48 times.

The average time for a first-timer is 110 seconds.

Just now, you took 28 seconds.

Does it mean I'll recover my memories?

It means despite your inability to create new memories consciously,

your subconscious is retaining the new information.

Lu Yao.

Tell me how you feel today.

I woke up to a room full of sticky notes.

I couldn't even tell if it was my room.

And there's a journal that says I had surgery and became an amnesiac.

I don't recall the surgery.

My new memories get erased daily.

How am I supposed to feel?

A university psychology department is running an experiment

on using the subconscious to consolidate memory.

I think you're an ideal candidate for this program.

Would you like to give it a try?

Jimmy, Lu Yao may have a memory issue,

but he still rocks as a songwriter.

Why not hire him

for Meisu's new album's title song?

Meisu has always loved his music.

Yes, Meisu has got new ideas.

The songwriters vying for the spot

will send in their work by Friday.

The album title is You and I.

So maybe next time.

But it won't hurt to include one more candidate.

Do you remember last year?

Meisu joined the Heavenly Voices Contest

and sang Lu Yao's "Imperishable Love."

She went on to win the final, didn't she?

Lu Yao

hasn't written a single song since he got sick.

He has written plenty.

We're saving the songs for Meisu.

Jimmy.

Jimmy.

Trust me on this.

Give him a chance. He can do this.

Hold me to my word.

All right, he can submit a song.

Thank you so much.

As for Meisu's concert music director,

-Lu Yao is your man. -Xiaojin.

Both Xiaoyu and Hua hired him

for their last tours.

Things turned out great.

Buddy is leaving.

I have to work now.

How about dinner after you finish recording?

I'll set it up with Xiaojin.

-What does Jimmy like to eat? -Come this way.

Darn it, you scared me.

You're amazing.

Let go.

Congratulations, Mr. Lu.

You've become one of the candidates for writing the title song

of Meisu's new album, You and I.

We made it.

You have until Friday to complete the song.

The album title is You and I with lyrics.

Buddy.

You know my condition.

I can't write anything now.

I can't even write half a song.

Then write a whole song.

Our studio has had no income for a year.

We're finished if we miss this chance.

Buddy.

I don't want you to waste this chance because of me.

Go find someone else.

Good luck.

Lu Yao.

You promised that we would stick together.

Having amnesia is no excuse.

Are you abandoning me?

You want me to find someone else?

Find someone else...

You go find someone else.

-Leave me alone. -Shut up.

Let's figure out who can be our lyricist.

Hong Xi?

He's outdated.

Alex Blue?

He emigrated.

The deadline is Friday. There isn't enough time.

Just compose the melody.

Leave the lyrics to me.

You copied my homework to get through school.

How can you write lyrics?

-You... -I have to go meet my shrink.

-Give it a try, okay? -Sure.

Buddy said he would do the lyrics.

It's a bad idea.

We need a lyricist.

Friday.

Friday is important.

I must find the right lyricist.

Are you delusional?

You must be. I'm sure of it.

Why would I bother calling you late at night?

You must have cheated on too many women.

That's why you get creepy calls.

Listen, Ma Xiu.

One without ethics has no reason to live.

Die, you jerk!

You try to call

But the line is busy

You can't spell out

The pain you're holding in

Just wait

In the car next to mine sits a beautiful woman.

She seems a little crazy,

but she has good taste in music.

She's playing my song, "I'm Okay."

I'm not feeling your love at all right now

I'm okay

I'm okay!

Department of Psychology, Huaren University

You're so early.

I'm your therapist, Xu Xingyue.

I didn't plan to meet you this way.

Would you mind waiting outside?

I have to wait again?

Hello, Lu Yao.

I'm your therapist and researcher

conducting this experiment, Xu Xingyue.

How are you feeling?

I feel kind of weird.

Weird?

No way. Come inside.

Wait.

Listen to me first.

Remove your shoes.

Then walk on the rug slowly

and sit on the sofa.

Do it.

Darn it.

What are you feeling?

It's painful.

How painful?

Very painful.

Very painful?

This is part of the experiment.

Have some carrot juice.

No, thank you.

Just one sip.

It's an important part of the experiment.

What are you feeling?

Why is the carrot juice spicy?

Do you plan to keep pranking me and ask how I feel?

Of course not.

I've done plenty of research about you.

Next, I'll ask you a few questions

to determine the period where your memory might linger.

Ma Xiu

I'm sorry.

You can answer the call.

No need, let's get started.

Do you remember which year you won your first Best Songwriter Award?

In 20...

In 2011.

That's correct.

You're funny.

I'm not, I'm dead serious.

I'm trying to connect with you using music.

In the 2016 Golden Melody Awards,

which song did you lose to?

"Breakup."

That's correct.

Ma Xiu

Honestly, I still can't understand

why that song got more votes than mine.

Let me tell you why.

Because there are too many two-timing men

and women are silly.

Once she falls in love,

she'll do anything for him.

But what does she get in the end?

Being cheated on.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

We can talk about it.

I don't think we should.

Why not?

A therapist shouldn't discuss her personal issues with a patient.

But I'm different.

I'll forget everything tomorrow.

That's true.

His name is Ma Xiu.

It's not the first time he cheated on me.

He used to beg for forgiveness every time.

But this time,

he had the nerve to tell me

he wanted to break up.

I refused. I want to see what he can do.

It seems you want to break up too,

but you can't let go of your grudges.

I can help you.

What does he do?

He's a musician.

My mom used to say that all musicians are two-timers.

I always contradicted her.

Sorry, I didn't mean you.

It's okay.

So tell me more.

What are his flaws?

He insists that he has long thick hair.

The truth is his hairline is receding.

He always wears a cap.

-He's bald on the top. -He's bald on the top?

Yes.

Bald at the top.

He always claims

that he doesn't care about body types,

but he only follows busty chicks on Weibo.

What are you doing?

Don't mind me.

Busty...

-Busty chick. -Busty chick?

He also tattooed his eyebrows

and they got way too thick.

But he denied that he had done it

and even accused me instead.

I would never do that.

Ma Xiu

Is that him calling?

Yes.

Wait, give me a second.

Okay, bring it closer.

Wait for me.

Put him through.

-Put him through? -Turn on the speakerphone.

Hi, Ma Xiu.

You're a VIP of two-timers

Your calling is to cheat

Not only did you look at busty chicks' Weibo

But you also secretly tattooed your brows

With little hair to comb over with

Ma Xiu, you're gross indeed

You're a VIP of two-timers

Two-timer VIP

It hurts.

Oh, two-timer VIP

Two-timer VIP

Who would fall for you, creep?

Ma Xiu!

Who's that? Who sang just now?

Who are you with?

It's your turn, come on.

Hey, say something.

I no longer have feelings for you, two-timing jerk.

I hereby declare that we are finished.

Remember this. I dumped you, not vice versa.

What are you feeling?

-I'm elated. -Elated.

-I'm greatly relieved. -That's the power of music.

Thank you.

But you don't fit the description in your profile.

What description?

A serial cheater.

Goodness, our time is up.

I apologize for only talking about myself

and neglecting your therapy.

How about this?

Do you have time tomorrow?

-Tomorrow? -Yes.

Check the calendar on your phone.

I'm free tomorrow.

Good, let's meet at the same time tomorrow.

Promise me

you won't write down what I said today.

Don't worry.

Your secrets are safe with me.

Good.

Thank you for today.

-Bye. -Wait.

My assignment for you is to continue to write songs.

Creativity can enhance your therapy.

I hope you can trust me.

Let's work together.

Thank you.

I'll work hard.

What was that for?

The file says the last thing you remember

is being slapped by a woman.

Do you remember anything?

Not at all.

Not this time.

But maybe next time.

There's next time?

Come on. I'll see you out.

No need, I know my way around.

Lu Hong,

what brings you here?

I want to meet your new therapist.

I told you I could handle it myself.

What happened to your face?

What's that red mark?

It's part of the experiment.

Hi.

Hi, Ms. Lu.

I'm Lu Yao's therapist, Xu Xingyue.

How old are you?

I'm 28.

Actually, I'm not a doctor yet.

I'm writing my PhD thesis.

You're a PhD student?

They found a student to give you therapy.

Then they will write about your case and publish a thesis.

Is that right?

No worries, Ms. Lu.

I won't use Lu Yao's real name.

I really want to help him.

Right, thank you.

Lu Hong.

-What's with the attitude? -Xingyue is very serious.

Let's go.

Thank you.

-What's with the attitude? -Nothing.

Thank you, Xingyue.

Stop pulling me.

Therapist

Hi, Lu Yao.

I'm your therapist, Xu Xingyue.

Hi.

Why is it so cold?

Come in.

It's part of the experiment.

Please describe how cold you're feeling.

It's freezing cold.

That hurts.

What's that?

Do you remember?

Remember what?

Do you remember drinking spicy carrot juice?

Water...

I went a little overboard today.

I'm sorry.

I almost forgot.

What's this?

A lime-scented perfume.

I'll use this in every meeting.

By stimulating your olfactory bulb,

I may make your subconscious remember me.

You've got many gadgets here.

These aren't gadgets.

Let me explain.

The hardest memories for human brains to lose

are people or things that give us special feelings.

I'm trying to create emotional memories for you

by stimulating your five senses.

Go ahead, answer the call.

There's no need.

Yesterday was bad enough.

I can't be distracted again.

I'll turn it off.

Today, I'll use hearing to stimulate your memory.

Xingyue, your landlord is on the phone.

But I'm busy.

There's an emergency at your house. You should talk to him.

Excuse me, I need to step outside.

It's okay.

I'm sorry, Lu Yao.

I really have an emergency.

Let's postpone this session, okay?

Do you need a lift?

-Thank you. -No problem.

Do you need a hand?

I'm fine, thank you.

No way.

This is bad.

No.

My gosh.

I'm doomed.

Come help me!

Get the towel.

Towel...

Here you go.

Where is your main shutoff valve?

In the bathroom.

I shut it off! Did it work?

Did you write all these?

Do you have copies?

Once the papers dry,

the print will become legible again.

Then we can make copies.

So there's no need to be sad.

Thank you.

This belongs to my ex.

You can wear it if you don't mind.

"Dragon Punk"?

That's his band.

He's the lead singer.

I've never heard of them.

Give me your t-shirt.

I'll hang it to dry.

Thank you.

Who are you?

Why are you wearing my clothes?

We broke up. Why are you even here?

No wonder you changed the lock

as soon as we broke up.

You've got yourself a new boyfriend.

I don't want to see you.

Get out.

I've come to take my stuff.

What stuff? What right do you have?

-The guitar you bought me. -I gave it to him.

-You gave it to him? -Yes.

Can he even play?

That's none of your own business.

Kid.

That guitar is too good for you, got it?

Don't touch him.

You wear my clothes

and date my woman.

Watch your mouth.

Fine.

I'll be generous.

You keep the woman.

I'll take the guitar.

Stay put.

Why?

Have you got more men in there?

Is anyone there?

You mad woman!

What are you doing?

Are you all right?

Stop it.

Stop it.

I said stop it!

Take your crappy guitar.

Get out!

Are you all right?

-You're hurt. -I'm fine.

Are you all right?

Where did you find a guitar?

It was in my trunk.

I want to write a song to mock your ex,

then you'll feel better.

You've already written such a song.

I did?

Yes.

How was it?

It was very creative.

Are you feeling better?

Yes, the cold beer helps.

Do you want some red wine?

Sure.

Thank you.

I've wanted to punch him for a long time.

A man like him is not worth your tears.

"That person who leaves after sharing passion

is just a transition in the narration."

Am I right?

How do you know these lines?

I saw them at your place.

Did you write them?

You're very talented.

My high school teacher said the same thing.

My dream was to become a poet like Joy Haijo

and publish a poetry collection.

Joy Haijo.

An American poet.

You know her?

Of course.

How?

I'm well-read.

Joy Haijo hosts a workshop in the US every year

to invite poets with different mother tongues

to translate her work.

It was my dream to submit my poems

and attend this workshop.

And?

It never happened.

I've entered many poetry contests.

For reasons I don't understand,

I received harsh criticism every time.

Never mind.

My manuscripts are ruined now.

It's my fate.

From now on, I'll focus on being a good therapist

and handle your case.

I'm sure you can handle my case well.

But isn't it lame to quit after getting some criticism?

I mean it.

Before I broke into the industry,

I was apprenticing at a veteran songwriter's studio.

I once played him the songs that I wrote.

I wanted his advice.

Guess what he told me.

He said,

"Lu Yao, are people supposed to enjoy listening to this?"

What the heck are these?

You call this music?

-How could he say that? -He said much worse.

But never mind.

At that moment,

a cure-all saying came into my mind.

It went on to help me get through many bad days.

Without it, I wouldn't be here today.

What's that?

Screw him.

Look. I wasn't mocking you.

I said "screw him" all the time while sending out demos.

Guess what.

Someone finally picked up my song,

"Imperishable Love."

You see,

if I hadn't cursed them and persevered,

that song would have never been heard.

Repeat after me.

Screw him.

Screw him.

As creative workers,

we create when we have things to say.

If we have things to say,

an audience will emerge.

Now, I'm your audience.

You can improvise.

Improvise?

You can do it. Be confident.

What's the title?

You and I.

You and I.

-Give me some time. -Of course.

Screw him.

How many

looks of willfulness,

how many

sounds of discord,

how many shared secrets

before we become you and I?

How many

How many looks of willfulness

How many

sounds of discord

How many shared secrets

Before we become you and I

It's amazing.

Go on.

How sensitive are your actions,

how relentless is your courage

that made you the memory

that can never be erased?

How sensitive are your actions

How relentless is your courage

That made you the memory

That can never be erased

I will say I do 10,000 times.

I will say I do 10,000 times

It's lovely.

Did you just come up with that?

I was tipsy. I was just goofing around.

Did you just come up with that?

Yes.

I was inspired by your lyrics.

How about this?

Would you be my lyricist?

I can't, definitely not.

Listen.

I already overstepped my bounds by drinking with you.

Your bounds?

If you write lyrics for me,

we'll be work partners.

You'll be my lyricist,

not my therapist.

So there's no such bound.

No way.

Stop joking.

Listen,

I already failed to graduate last year.

That means this year,

I must complete your case study regardless.

If you become my lyricist,

you can come to my house

and get in-depth information

on how an amnesiac lives.

Wouldn't that be a big help to your research?

You must keep it a secret.

Of course.

-The school must never find out. -They won't.

If they do, I'm done for.

I will never tell.

So it's a deal?

Yes!

Let's set a time.

Come to my house at 9 a.m. tomorrow, okay?

You can't back out now.

You won't, right?

Let's take a photo.

-Take a photo? -Yes.

-Don't. -Why not?

I'm a mess.

Come on, I want a memento.

No.

Today was memorable.

We had our first collaboration.

We might even write a great song together.

Here.

One, two, three.

What have you done?

What do you think?

It's fine. It serves to remind me.

-Is that okay? -Sure.

You can

just relax tomorrow.

Is it okay to leave your car behind?

Yes, I'll get it tomorrow.

It's raining.

It's raining!

It's raining harder.

I'm sorry, give me a second.

What's happening?

We got soaked all day.

We got soaked through.

Are you all right?

Thank you for everything today.

My place is over there.

Wait a minute.

Let's empty the bottle before you go.

Sure.

We'll both drink.

Take it easy.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I am here with you

My love will be with you

When I, when I am gone

I'm your therapist.

Right.

You're my therapist.

I'm your patient.

Right.

I have to go.

What were you thinking?

You can't.

You must not.

Signs that a shrink is falling in love with their patient

"You've spent more time on a particular patient."

I only have one patient.

"You've visited that patient during your off time."

I'll be working tomorrow.

I'll be working as a lyricist, okay?

"You've rearranged your schedule

to spend more time with him."

Tomorrow...

Tomorrow is my day off to begin with.

It's my day off.

"You've answered questions unrelated to the therapy

involving your personal life."

Let's skip this one.

"You've touched your patient in an atypical manner

like resting your hand on your patient's shoulder."

Of course not, I would never do that.

Out of these five signs,

I scored four no's.

See, I'm not unprofessional.

Stop imagining things.

It's shower time.

Xingyue's Dream: Joy Haijo's workshop

Joy Haijo.

Lu Yao.

You've got to remember Xingyue

because...

you've fallen in love with her.

You're mine

Hi.

Hi.

Come in.

My gosh.

Your place is so spacious and stylish.

Can I look around and take some pictures?

Sure, no problem.

This sculpture is super cool.

Is this Michael Jackson?

Yes.

This is Yang Mian's sculpture.

I've always liked his work.

Come and look at this.

It's one of his RGB pieces.

If you stare at the picture on the left for two minutes

and shut your eyes,

the picture on the right will pop up in your mind.

-Really? -Give it a try.

Look at this one first.

-What was that? -I'm tidying up my sticky notes.

Sticky notes.

Would you like a drink?

Sure.

How about carrot juice?

What?

Carrot juice.

Yes, I love carrot juice.

Here's your carrot juice.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

We can start whenever you're ready.

I think our improvisation last night was amazing.

I'll play a verse for you first.

How many looks of willfulness

How many sounds of discord

How many shared secrets

Before we become you and I

You and I

You and I

You and I

-You and I -Wait.

I'm used to brainstorming by myself.

My mind is blank now.

No problem. It will eventually come to you.

I'll go over there to write.

I'll play the piano for you to soak up the vibe.

No.

I have no inspiration.

Can I have some wine?

Here.

Xingyue.

Can I have another one?

Xingyue, this isn't right.

You're about to get drunk.

Think again.

When you brainstorm at home,

what do you normally do?

Normally?

I normally...

Which is better, "gratifying" or "reassuring"?

"Reassuring."

-"Gratifying" doesn't sound right. -Which one rhymes...

-"Reassuring"? -"Reassuring."

"Anytime at all

is reassuring."

"Anytime at all is reassuring."

Yes.

Taking a shower certainly helps.

But my skin is peeling off.

How do you like the dishes?

The dirtier, the better.

You want them dirty?

Yes, dirty.

Chili sauce, vinegar, and soy sauce.

Hurry.

Let's write a part about a movie date.

Most couples go on movie dates.

Movie dates?

Lu Yao.

Do you cry when you watch movies?

Sure.

I cry when I'm touched.

Okay, let's change it to

"What was the movie

that made us cry like little kids?"

"Us"?

Yes, "us."

"Made us cry like little kids."

That's good.

What do you want me to play to inspire you?

Whatever will do.

I'm trying to find the emotion.

Is it done?

Listen to this.

Can I have another hamburger later?

Yes, but take a break for now.

Listen to our song first, okay?

Focus.

A cuddle at night

So ordinary but so blissful

In this chilly weather

Spicy hot pot matters

Wait.

Why is there a hot pot all of a sudden?

Isn't it kind of odd?

Is it?

Little Fatty.

Do you have a problem with the hot pot?

-No. -See?

I quite like it.

What about the song?

It's great.

-Little Fatty. -He says it's great.

I'll think about it on my own.

Lu Yao.

Lu Yao.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Did you open a new bottle?

Can't I?

Go easy on the drinking. We have to sing later.

Cut the crap.

Can you get me nominated for the Best New Lyricist Award?

What?

The Best New Lyricist Award.

I'll get you nominated if there is such an award,

but there isn't.

Don't patronize me.

Go easy on the champagne. You have to sing later.

I know.

Xingyue.

I'm all set.

Let's start recording.

Are you sure?

Come on, hurry.

I'm a bad singer.

Hello.

I'm a singer now.

Yes.

Really?

Just a second.

First, I would like to thank my fans,

my mom, and my dad.

Wait, I also want to thank

-Lu Yao for giving me the chance. -Calm down.

You have to get ready and settle down, okay?

All good?

Don't you think I'll mess up?

-No. -It's my first recording.

Take it easy.

Relax.

Okay.

A cuddle at night

So ordinary but so blissful

In this chilly weather

We breathe on each other

To keep colds at bay

What was the movie

That made us cry like little kids

Impish, carefree, it's all okay

Even your fuming face is taking my breath away

How many looks of willfulness

How many sounds of discord

How many...

Joy Haijo Translation Workshop

Lu Yao, believe me.

After what happened today,

you don't want to ever forget Xingyue.

When you wake up tomorrow,

tell her

that you love her.

Professor Shu

It's a pity

that you'll forget me when you wake up.

Good morning, doctor.

-Good morning. -Nice weather today.

What a firm grip.

You must be doing well.

What happened? Tell me.

Nothing special. I'm just in love.

What did you say?

I'm in love.

Listen to him.

Just because he has a few photos and voice memos,

he thinks he's in love.

You can't keep your memories, but you talk about love.

My memory may be broken, but my emotions are intact.

The moment I see her pictures, all my feelings for her return.

That's true.

His brain may not retain new data permanently,

but his feelings for things and people may grow.

Our memories and feelings are processed

by two entirely different systems.

In short, Lu Yao is still capable of love.

I'm capable of love, Lu Hong.

Then what's her name?

Where did you meet her?

I'll tell you when the time is right.

You can't even remember her.

-But you love her? -All right.

Let's fill out the questionnaire for his periodic follow-up.

Has Lu Yao experienced any symptoms lately

like headaches or dizziness?

He told me he felt dizzy on Wednesday.

I'm sorry, we can't talk about that now.

Here.

Doctor, look at this.

I found this on the Internet.

It's a scientific paper published by the University of Pennsylvania.

By planting an electrode in the human brain,

they can electrically stimulate the brain

to improve memory function of amnesiacs like me.

I want to try this treatment.

I'm young and able to afford it.

What do you both think?

I'm sorry, Lu Yao.

This experimental treatment

was given to you a year ago,

but to no avail.

Did I get the most up-to-date treatment?

You did.

So for now,

there aren't other options?

Not at the moment.

Lu Yao.

Do not despair.

There have been patients

who are able to retrieve memories after hearing a familiar song

or smelling a particular scent.

That's why you must remain optimistic.

You'll recover one day.

When will that be?

I don't want to wait anymore.

I want to be like everyone

and remember what happens and whom I meet.

I want to be normal. Why can't I even...

Why can't I even do these basic things?

Do you know how it feels?

It's like drifting alone in the sea,

struggling to hold onto something in vain.

Do you know how it feels

to be robbed of your tomorrow?

"Wait."

All I do is wait!

Excuse me.

Okay, until then.

Go ahead.

I'm making good progress in the case study.

He suddenly fell in love with carrot juice.

His fridge is now filled with carrot juice,

but there are no other drinks.

It's because I gave him carrot juice during therapy.

His house has many scented products that smell just like my lime perfume.

His walls are plastered with sticky notes.

Even his shower screen is custom-made

to display water-proof sticky notes.

How did you find out all these intimate details?

He told me.

I asked him

to keep a daily journal

and share it with me.

I got these details from his journal.

Did you violate the code of ethics?

No.

It seems your methodology is producing substantial results.

Tell my assistant about your next session.

I'll arrange for all the PhD students to observe you.

All PhD students?

Do you have a problem?

No.

Do you remember the last time

we got wasted?

No.

It was when I got divorced.

Back then,

when you heard that he was still fooling around,

you beat him up for me.

You grabbed his collar and threw a couple of punches.

You were so cool.

Lu Hong.

You had it rough.

I want to tell you this.

Don't waste so much effort

on this thing called love.

Love is a game.

Whoever takes it too seriously is the loser.

Life is not easy for you.

Why make it more difficult?

This time is different.

I love her.

I really want to be with her.

Okay.

I'm not playing games.

Is she aware of your condition?

What?

You've tried all day

to find out who she is.

I have not.

So?

She's my therapist.

This song will win you the Best Songwriter of the Year.

Let's go.

Buddy, my head is hurting.

I'm not going.

I'll wait for you here.

Wait, are you nervous?

All right, I'll handle it.

Here.

Wait for me.

-Hi, Xiaojin. -Hi, Buddy.

-I've got a demo for Meisu. -What demo?

The title song of her new album.

Lu Yao's entry.

But she has picked the winner and is recording it now.

-Meisu, I... -What are you doing?

Hear me out.

Please give Lu Yao a chance.

I'm begging you.

I'm Lu Yao's agent.

Please listen to it.

-Hello? -Hi, Mr. Lu Yao.

This is Huaren University's Department of Psychology calling.

Your therapy session at 4 p.m.

will be conducted in a different room.

I'll see you at the entrance and usher you there.

I'm sorry. Do you mean today?

Yes, see you later.

All right, thank you.

How did it go?

What happened?

They had chosen another song.

They're recording it.

-I see. -I didn't expect that either.

They had made their decision.

But after listening to your song,

they picked yours instead.

Lu Yao, you won!

We made it?

Of course.

Why were you fooling me?

-Because I wanted to. -You suck.

-So? -Screw him.

Screw the whole world.

Don't spit when you talk.

Lu Yao is back to his top form.

This is it.

You really have to thank me this time.

From now on,

just focus on composing.

Leave everything else to me.

I am your Buddy.

Repeat after me "I am your Buddy."

Thank you, my buddy.

And your lyrics are incredible, you know?

How did you write so well?

Or did you just steal mine since I have amnesia?

I...

-I inherited all of your lost memories. -Is that so?

I'll give them back now.

I'll give them back.

You've really made leaps and bounds.

I'll write all your lyrics from now on.

Xingyue.

Here you are.

A lady is asking for you at the reception.

A lady?

Ms. Lu, are you here for Lu Yao?

I'm here for you.

Me?

See for yourself.

You spied on us.

I spied on you?

Those cameras were installed for my brother's sake.

He sleepwalks and passes out all the time.

If I hadn't kept watch,

he could have had a serious accident.

You've only seen him when he's in good shape.

Don't do this to him, Xingyue.

You can get any man you want.

Why write your thesis in my brother's bed?

You've gone too far.

Don't go near him again

or I'll send this clip to your school.

The whole world will know that you molested a patient.

It's not what you think, Ms. Lu.

I know I shouldn't be intimate with a patient,

but please believe me.

I sincerely like Lu Yao.

I wasn't using or playing him.

If you really like him,

you should stay away.

Listen, Lu Yao will not remember you.

I got rid of all traces of you.

Tell Xingyue "I love you"

Wednesday, 9 a.m., Xingyue came to write the lyrics for "10,000 Times I Do"

My first meeting with Xingyue, "10,000 Times I Do" lyrics

As for the song,

it has nothing to do with you anymore.

From today onward,

you're a complete stranger to Lu Yao.

Even if you seek him out,

he won't remember you.

You crossed the line.

Are you Mr. Lu?

Yes.

I'm Xiaoxin.

I'll take you to the therapy room.

Please follow me.

Thank you.

Is this my first time coming here?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure.

Thank you.

Hi, Lu Yao.

Who are you?

I'm your...

I'm your therapist, Xu Xingyue.

Hi.

Please come in.

Please take off your shoes.

Then walk across the rug to the sofa.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to remove my shoes.

Do I sit there?

Yes.

I would like to ask you.

Why did you refuse to remove your shoes?

I just...

I just didn't want to.

Have some carrot juice.

Thank you.

How many times have we met?

What's going on?

This is our third session.

It's only the third one?

Yes.

That means

we aren't that close.

That's right, we aren't close.

Tell me how you're feeling today.

It's okay.

-What's going on? -It's odd.

What are you doing?

This scent

is familiar.

You'd better...

You'd better sit down first.

How do you feel about this scent?

I'm not sure if it's okay for me to tell you.

Never mind. Don't force yourself.

Do you like music?

What's wrong?

Are you all right?

Are you sure we aren't close?

I'm sorry.

Why is she leaving?

What's wrong?

Lu Yao left.

Come and see me in my office.

I'm sorry, I was unprofessional.

I can't carry on with Lu Yao's case.

Don't worry.

I'll take over the case myself.

Just compile and pass all the materials to me.

I didn't expect your five-senses therapy to work so well.

You did an excellent job this time.

I actually made it this piquant.

We received your partner Lu Yao's submission

of your work "10,000 Times I Do."

You are offered a translation residency.

I made it.

We look forward to working with you soon.

How did he remember Joy Haijo?

A cuddle at night

So ordinary but so blissful

In this chilly weather

We breathe on each other

To keep colds at bay

Lu Yao!

Lu Yao!

How much did you drink?

Come on.

There's no time for self-indulgence, man.

What is it now?

Get up.

You are recording with Meisu today.

I'm not going. I'm not in the mood.

I'm not in the mood either.

-But... -Buddy, you know,

I began to feel horrible when I woke up.

It's like

my heart has been hollowed out, you know.

It's fine to have a hollow heart.

Our savings have been hollowed out too.

We can't live without money.

Lift your hips.

Be good.

Just be there for a while.

Even if the clock turns back, I will not forget

I will say I do 10,000 times

I'm glad to have you as a special guest at my album release show.

I look forward to your amazing performance.

See you tomorrow.

The studio will go bankrupt if I don't get myself together.

"You're mine"?

Who's this girl?

How could you and my ex-girlfriend

take this kind of intimate picture?

Darn it.

It serves me right.

Buddy.

My memory may be crippled, but not my intellect.

What do you mean?

I don't remember who she is,

but I have a hunch

that we've known each other for some time.

And...

I've seen her in my dream.

She...

She visited you in your dream, but not me?

What the heck? How blind was I?

Just tell me the truth, will you?

Look at this photo, I should be the one who's angry.

Buddy, I have to know what exactly happened.

Two weeks' worth of data is missing from my computer.

Someone deleted them, right?

I'm coming.

Tell me.

About what?

What did you do?

What did you do behind my back?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about Xingyue.

I know everything.

Who gave you the right to delete my journal entries?

The lyricist was Xingyue, but you changed it to Buddy.

Who gave you the right?

Who gave you the right to tamper with my life?

You couldn't even remember her name

or who wrote the lyrics.

How can you love?

How can you take care of her?

If she cared about you,

why hasn't she come back?

Wake up.

Lu Hong.

I'm lucid.

I live lucidly every day.

This is my most lucid self ever.

But what kind of life is this?

Do you know how I feel?

I can't hold onto anything.

I finally seized something that gave my life meaning,

but you snatched it away.

Don't you think you're cruel?

These things belong to you.

This letter too.

I took it from your mailbox. It's unopened.

I was only trying to protect you.

I'm sorry, I was wrong.

Here.

Dear Lu Yao

"10,000 Times I Do" New Song Release

-Meisu! -Meisu!

Hello, everyone.

The next song I'll perform is special.

It's written by Lu Yao.

His personal story has got me thinking

whether someone who has amnesia

would always fall in love with the same person.

Here's my new song for all of you,

"10,000 Times I Do."

How many looks of willfulness

How many sounds of discord

How many shared secrets

Before we become you and I

A cuddle at night

So ordinary but so blissful

In this chilly weather

We breathe on each other

To keep colds at bay

What was the movie

That made us cry like little kids

Impish, carefree, it's all okay

Lu Yao.

You probably don't remember me.

I'm Xingyue,

someone who briefly lived

in your memory.

You couldn't remember so many things,

but every time we looked at each other,

you seemed to recognize me.

Thank you for working so hard for me.

And thank you

for valuing my dream dearly.

No one had ever encouraged or believed in me

like you did.

I often worried that I wasn't good enough.

It was you

who made me feel unique.

How blessed I am

to have met you.

I often wonder.

if we had met before you had the accident,

would there have been

a better ending for the two of us?

But my answer is no

because the you that I like

is the you right now.

You may not remember my name,

your promise,

or the days that we spent together.

But please

don't forget that I love you.

How many looks of willfulness

How many sounds of discord

How many heartbreaks have I been through

Before I met you

How sensitive are your actions

How relentless is your courage

That made you the memory that can never be erased

Even if the clock turns back

I will not forget

Xingyue!

Xingyue!

Xingyue!

How many looks of willfulness

How many sounds of discord

How many heartbreaks have I been through

Before I met you

How sensitive are your actions

How relentless is your courage

That made you the memory

-That can never be erased -Xingyue.

Do you remember me?

I don't remember you,

but I just know...

I know I never want to lose you again.

Stop looking at me.

Stop it.

Turn away.

Why can't I look?

Turn away.

To where?

It's embarrassing.

Let me look at you for ten more seconds.

Three, two, one. Stop, no more.

Let me look at you some more.

No.

Why do you keep looking at me?

Because I want to remember you.

I want to remember today.

I don't want to fall asleep.

If I fall asleep, I will...

Okay?

Give me your phone.

Give me your phone.

I, Xu Xingyue...

And you?

I, Lu Yao.

We hereby pledge

that from today onward,

no matter what happens, we will stay together.

I will never leave you.

From now on, I'll be your brain

and your eyes.

I'll journal everything that happens to us

so you'll remember me the moment you wake up every day.

That's so sweet.

Now, you can sleep without worries.

Xingyue.

When was the last time you watched the sunrise?

I've decided not to attend Joy Haijo's workshop,

but I will continue to pursue my dream.

I have decided to write poetry

about Lu Yao and I.

To see and not see

How many wrong turns

Before meeting someone and telling him

Cherish the dark sky above and the landscape within

Four months later

Lu Yao, ring the doorbell.

We've got things in the car.

Ask Lu Hong to help me.

There's more?

Yes.

What took you so long?

Can you help get our things in the car?

Sure, give me a second.

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

Put the tomato in the pot.

-I'll be with you in a second. -Okay, no problem.

It smells good. Is this beef stew?

Yes, it will be ready soon.

Just put two more.

Good. Thank you.

Try this. See if it needs more salt.

What's wrong?

Lately, I feel nauseated whenever I smell something strong.

It's all right.

Let me see.

Give me your hand.

You're sweating.

I'm going to the loo.

But you just did a moment ago.

Right, but I've been like this for a while.

Judging from my experience,

with urinary incontinence, nausea,

sweaty hands, and slight fever,

all these call for a pregnancy test.

It can't be.

The results are out.

Ms. Xu, you're eight weeks pregnant.

I'll arrange for the prenatal screening tests.

Congratulations.

Are you not going to talk ever again?

Do you find me annoying?

Fine, I know.

You can't say anything.

If you say you don't want the baby,

I'll hate you.

But if you say you want to keep the baby,

I can't decide what to do either.

You sister might have been right.

We shouldn't be together

because our relationship has no future.

Am I right?

We have no future.

-Then why bother staying together? -Xingyue.

Don't touch me.

Listen.

It's not that I don't want to say anything.

I'm just not sure if I can speak my mind

given my condition.

You don't want it.

You don't want it, right?

It's not that simple.

I just don't know what to tell you given my condition.

I knew that you didn't want it.

I won't ask you anymore.

Xingyue.

Xingyue!

Xu Xingyue, come back here.

Leave me alone.

Are you crazy?

-You may get hit by a car. -Crazy?

I'm crazy?

You don't want the baby anyway.

Why do you care about us being hit by a car?

Xingyue, stop there!

How could you say that?

Do you think I don't want to keep our baby?

It's wonderful to have our own baby.

It's a blessing.

But when I think of my condition...

How can I be so selfish?

As long as we're together,

I have nothing to be afraid of.

The baby's CRL is 3.6cm.

That's normal at 11 weeks pregnant.

Your baby is healthy.

This is his hip.

He's moving his hands and legs, and his head too.

-His hands. -Do you see that?

His head moved again.

He's waving to you. Do you see that?

Our beautiful Xu Xingyue.

This is your third wedding. How do you feel?

I feel triple blessed.

Since Lu Yao can't remember that we're married,

I'll remarry him again until he does.

Lu Yao.

Do you take Xu Xingyue to be your lawful wife?

Yes, I do.

I do too.

I object.

What are you doing, Lu Hong?

We object too.

-We object. -We object.

-We object. -What's wrong with you? Come on.

This is your third wedding.

We're obliged to do something different.

Yes.

-You're using up my annual leave. -We object.

But Lu Hong,

I still have several wedding gowns to debut.

Don't mind them.

Hush, let's continue.

You will now exchange the rings.

-Kiss her. -Kiss her.

Don't stop.

Mrs. Lu,

the results are out.

Your baby is healthy.

But your blood pressure was hitting 160.

That's far too high for a pregnant woman.

You may have preeclampsia.

What is preeclampsia?

Is it serious?

It can be very serious.

The disorder can progress quickly

and cause the mother's blood pressure to skyrocket.

You may be talking in this second,

then pass out in the next.

If not treated promptly,

you may have a stroke.

I understand your husband's condition,

but don't put pressure on yourself.

It's important to relax during pregnancy.

Thank you, doctor.

Doctor.

Please keep this a secret from my husband.

I don't want him to worry.

The next massage technique is called

"I Love U."

Start from your baby's navel.

Swipe upward.

Very good.

Now, swipe to the side,

then down, writing an "L."

-Then turn slowly. -Turn.

-Turn slowly. -Yes.

Like a "U."

It's quite simple.

You'll be fine after some practice at home.

-Okay. -Thank you.

The instructor went over many things.

I can't remember it all.

You've got me to do that.

-This is heavy. -Let me.

Goodness, it is heavy.

Thank God I got you.

You'll be stuck with me

until after postpartum confinement.

Xingyue, come here.

I'm coming, honey.

My husband just bought a lot of things for our baby.

Let's keep a record of his purchase.

Look.

-Do you like it in blue? -It's so cute.

Yes.

-I love it. -Look, I like this feature the most.

It helps the baby fall asleep.

It's so cute.

Our baby will love it.

Star and moon, like your name.

-Xingyue. -Thank you, honey.

Thank you, I love you.

I'll clean up.

-You do that. -Okay.

This is the tenth time

my husband bought this crib.

I'll return it tonight.

He'll buy another one tomorrow.

Well, as long as he is happy.

Honey, I've been waiting.

Where have you been? Are you all right?

-Someone fainted! -Wake up!

-Wake up! -Help!

-Hurry, call the ambulance. -Wake up.

-What happened? -Wake up.

What have we got?

A pregnant woman fainted in the street.

Her blood pressure was 180 over 120.

Are you feeling dizzy or any discomfort?

Where is my husband?

We'll contact your family as soon as possible.

Is my baby all right?

We'll have to run some tests,

but your blood pressure is way too high.

So don't move and stay calm, okay?

Hello.

Are you Xu Xingyue's husband?

Yes, I am.

She fainted on the street.

She's in the ER right now.

-Please come quickly. -What?

The test results confirm

that you have severe preeclampsia.

Your blood pressure is approaching 200.

The blood flow to your placenta

is severely insufficient.

We have to perform an emergent C-section.

Can I see my husband first?

The baby is getting weak.

We must get the baby out now

to bring your blood pressure down,

or you may have a seizure and go into a coma.

Your baby may even die.

We must go to the operating room now.

Your husband is on his way here.

Sign the consent form first.

Your wife has severe preeclampsia.

Her condition is very serious.

Are you saying her life is endangered?

I'm afraid so if we can't deliver the baby promptly.

The patient's blood pressure has surged past 200.

Her blood pressure is too high for spinal anesthesia.

More complications will occur.

We'll give her general anesthesia instead.

Test for pre-transfusion.

Be prepared for a massive hemorrhage.

We'll give you general anesthesia.

Relax, take it easy.

We have to deliver the baby by C-section now,

or the baby's life will be in danger.

Prepare for transfusion.

The head is out.

Here, press it down.

Here.

Scissors.

Quickly.

It's a boy. Hold on tight.

Her blood pressure hasn't come down. Give me the gauze.

Hurry.

More gauze.

Here. Press it down.

Harder.

More gauze. Hurry.

He's not crying.

He's not responding.

The body has turned blue and limp.

Perform CPR now.

Blood oxygen level is 60%.

Heart rate is 68bpm.

We can't stop it.

Where is the blood? Hurry!

Go get it. Hurry.

He still hasn't cried.

He's not responding.

Hurry.

Gauze.

I'm sorry.

We have tried our best.

She has lost too much blood.

She won't make it.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Please, I can't do it alone.

I can't do it alone, honey.

I beg you.

Please don't leave me.

Please don't leave me.

Honey.

I already promised

that I would never leave you.

It would break my heart to leave you.

Let the three of us walk out of here safe and sound, okay?

Promise me,

okay?

Okay.

We'll go home together.

Let's do that.

Honey.

It's getting very cold.

Can you

hold me one more time?

It's okay.

Honey.

Tomorrow is our first anniversary.

Once we are discharged,

you must celebrate with me.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey, don't go.

Honey.

From today onward,

no matter what happens, we will stay together.

I will never leave you.

I will never leave you.

May 11, 12:00, Hospital, MRI Scan

This is today

TVC song deadline tomorrow

Lu Hong,

what's going on?

My house is plastered with sticky notes.

Calm down and listen.

You make this call to me every day.

Finish reading the When You Wake Up journal.

Then come to my house.

Lu Hong.

Come in.

Lu Hong, whose child is this?

He's mine.

-Hold your nephew. -I can't.

Of course you can.

Don't cry.

I'll be home late.

Help yourself to anything in the fridge.

The baby's schedule is here.

When will you be back?

Bye.

Hush.

What is it?

What's wrong?

You've already eaten and pooped.

How about a nap?

Do you want to take a nap?

Hush. Let's take a nap.

Hush.

Let's take a nap.

Are you feverish?

Are you feeling unwell?

You don't have a fever.

Good boy.

Don't cry. Let's call your mom.

Hi, may I speak to Head Nurse Lu Hong?

She's on leave today.

It can't be.

She told me she was off to work.

She's hosting a memorial service today for a family member

at the hall right next to our hospital.

Xingyue, you are the brightest star in the sky.

Xingyue may have departed,

but it feels like she has never left us.

I think

she's still living among us,

only in another way.

Today is Xingyue's birthday.

Let's celebrate her on this occasion.

Xingyue had intended

to give the following video to her child

when he grows up.

She wanted her child to know

the unusual and beautiful love story

of his mom and dad.

I'm sure if she were here today,

she would be eager to share this video with you.

Hi, baby.

Look.

This is you now.

Aren't you cute?

I want you to know

that you have the most special dad in the world.

A dad who forgets things.

Every day, I'm surrounded

by all kinds of flowers.

He always forgets he has gotten me flowers.

He chooses a different bouquet for me every day

according to his different feelings.

I hope he'll keep this up for good.

Since every day

is the first day Lu Yao meet me,

I get up early each morning to do simple makeup

so that I'll meet him in my best form.

Perfect.

He's up.

Lu Yao.

Hello, I'm Xingyue.

Hi.

What is it?

You're so beautiful.

Are you really my girlfriend?

Is it hard to believe?

This is the first time we watched the sunrise.

It's too bad that it's kind of cloudy.

That's why...

The sun is not out.

I promise to watch every sunrise with you all my life

as long as I'm not busy or sleepy.

This is the first time he made noodles for me.

Objection. How is it my turn to cook?

I cooked for you the last time I wrote lyrics here.

It's your turn today.

-Are you sure? -You promised.

-I did? -Yes.

-Do you love me? -I do.

Then get on with the cooking.

Kiss me and I'll cook.

Hurry.

Actually, I've never cooked for him.

The fact that he doesn't remember

is quite convenient sometimes.

-The master chef is here. -Keep it up.

This is the first time I celebrated his birthday.

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

-Kiss her! -Kiss her!

Let me!

This is the 100th day we held hands.

I'm sorry.

-Let's hold our hands forever. -Naughty.

Since your dad can't remember,

we've held five weddings so far.

On our first wedding,

before the banquet even started,

we already got drunk.

We ended up dancing through the night.

This is our fifth wedding.

Look at how big my tummy was with you inside.

Xu Xingyue.

Do you take Lu Yao to be your lawful husband?

I don't.

Why not?

You've never proposed to me.

I didn't propose?

Buddy, didn't I propose?

Do it now.

-I did not? -No.

My most beautiful, thoughtful and magnanimous Xingyue.

Please marry me.

Despite the many things that I'll forget,

I'm sure I won't forget our love.

If your dad wants to,

I'll marry him again and again

until he remembers.

Baby.

Once you meet your dad,

you'll realize

that he's unlike any other dads out there.

Get to know your dad's many unusual merits.

When you grow up, let's take care of him together.

We'll take care of your very special dad,

your forgetful dad.

Did you just kick me?

Why? You don't want your dad?

You can't do that.

You must love your dad.

Accept him the way he is.

When you grow up,

I want us to look after your dad together.

Okay?

I hope we can always be together

and be happy every day.

The three of us

will grow together

as one happy family.

That's my only wish.

How many looks of willfulness

How many sounds of discord

How many shared secrets

Before we become you and I

How sensitive are your actions

How relentless is your courage

That made you the memory

That can never be erased

Even if the clock turns back, I will not forget

I will say I do 10,000 times

I'm your son, feed me.

The child next to you is your son, Lu Jun

Three-month-old, Six-month-old, One-year-old

Look, it's me and your mom.

I'm proposing. Do you see that?

It's a yes!

You've got your cheesecake.

We'll eat it after dinner, okay?

Promise me, okay?

Look, it's your mom.

They finally published her poetry collection.

Let's go inside.

Come on.

Let's go.

You can't eat these.

Let's get three copies, okay?

We want three.
