Original subtitles

In the incident, your brain was damaged by the impact.

You received treatment for a week long.

During the coma, having hallucinations or dreams is totally normal.

Though you're awake, it'll still take some time to adapt.

In order to fully recover from headaches and dizziness,

you need to undergo physiotherapy on regular basis.

All right. Thank you, Doctor.

Don't mention it.

Don't you like Double-layer Milk Custard from "Life Is Not Bitter Desert Shop"?

I purposely went back to campus to get it for you.

Why didn't you eat it?

Sister, finally you're awake.

Stop eating this. It's dinner time soon.

No. Qian Wei just woke up.

She can have whatever she wants. Here.

Finally, she woke up.

She has to eat something nutritious.

- Here, have some. - She can't eat it.

- Have some. - No way! I said, she can't eat it!

Why are you so bossy?

I'm her younger brother.

Of course, I have to take care of her. How are you related to her?

I'm her best friend. Of course, I care for her.

So what if you're her best friend? You...

She yearns for it. Why can't she eat it?

- She can't eat it. - That's enough.

Things were different between you.

I'm tired. I'm taking a nap.

You may leave now.

It's all your fault.

Okay.

Have a good rest.

Sister, have a good rest.

It's all your fault.

What's wrong with you?

Now I get it.

It's merely a sweet dream that hasn't changed anything.

When I woke up,

I was welcomed by the cold reality.

In this world,

there's no such thing as painstakingly brewing romance waiting for me.

I'm still the useless Qian Wei.

[Legally Romance]

[Episode 24: The Gap Between Dream and Reality]

Mr. Wei's case has been accepted by the court.

The sentence can go up to three years imprisonment.

What does it have to do with the conflict between Morris and Ruo Mei?

As far as I'm concerned, you've found

the correspondencesbetween Ruo Mei and Mr. Wei.

However, you didn't find any new supplementary evidence.

Moreover, by relying on the correspondences,

it's a piece of cake to repudiate the connection

during the cross-examination.

The truth is he wanted to join AES.

So, he took the drawing of the characters to blackmail us.

That's his personal conduct.

It has nothing to do with us.

I should have known earlier.

Swearing black is white

is definitely your special skill.

Li Chongwen,

we've filed an appeal against the case between Morris and Ruo Mei.

Since you're so confident, why did you come here

to negotiate for a settlement face to face?

Lu Xun, I'm surprised.

After all these years, you're still so naive.

Do you really think you can win the appeal

just because you caught Mr. Wei?

Or do you think winning in terms of profit

depends on the decision of the court?

Let me put it this way.

For this case, if I really want to buy time,

it's not possible to drag it on for three to five years.

Furthermore, as you know,

AES as the holding company of Ruo Mei is getting listed soon.

The market size will increase by one-third.

Between AES, a well-established group

and Morris, a green gaming company,

which can afford to drag on longer?

It's not easy for Zhanying Law Firm

to make a name in the industry through this case.

If the case keeps dragging, in the end, even if you win in the case,

your client will eventually go up in smoke.

If that happens,

no one will engage you in the future.

The Legal Department is of the view

that harmony brings wealth and we always opt to reduce the risk.

It's good for everyone.

Don't waste your time and effort on trifles like this.

You're so right.

[Settlement Agreement]

You're right.

You talked so much.

Isn't that because the group is in the midst of getting listed and they're impatient?

Yes. Morris can't afford the drag.

Do you think AES can afford to lose?

Once the infringement lawsuit goes big, its evaporated market value

will be ten times more than Morris's market value.

I've filed the Writ of Summons to the court.

The summons will be ready by this week.

As for the core evidence,

do you think I can't find it?

Right?

Who do you think will find it first? You or me?

Lu Xun, don't act on impulse.

You may not be agreeable with the settlement but Morris may opt for a settlement.

It's my fault.

I came back too late.

I accepted the case too late and created so many misunderstandings.

Yu, it's been a while.

Why didn't you get some coffee for Mr. Lu?

You're not very observant.

You don't have to do that.

We're not supposed to let our guests do that. Am I right?

Luo, go and get us some coffee.

After Qian Wei got involved in the accident,

you got quite occupied.

I thank you on behalf of her.

That's interesting.

I'm Qian Wei's boss.

Something happened to my employee, shouldn't I bear the responsibility?

Who are you?

Who are you to thank me for her?

I'm her boyfriend.

Qian Wei told me before.

As her boss, you exploited her and bossed her around.

How could you do that to her?

All thanks to me. I comforted her all the time.

I didn't expect that after the accident,

you're quite concerned about her.

Now, I'm back.

Taking care of Qian Wei has become my responsibility.

You're taking care of Qian Wei

as her boyfriend.

Are you saying you're getting back together?

How is that possible?

Nothing is impossible.

We've been together for so many years.

She gave up on me due to a trifle.

She has just recovered from a severe illness.

Of course, she would have known by now what really matters to her.

Qian Wei used to buy you coffee.

That's not her job as an assistant lawyer.

Today, coffee is on me.

Also,

take a look at the settlement agreement. Consider it.

Let me know when you've made up your mind.

Mr. Lu, AES got us some coffee. Do you want one?

How does it work?

Before this, Qian Wei was the one who made coffee for everyone.

Everyone is so used to that. It's normal that you don't know how the machine works.

Get to the point.

We're done with Mr. Wei.

When Morris's case has ended,

Qian Wei will almost be fully recovered by then.

If she agrees, she can come back to work anytime.

You'd sacrificed so much for her before this.

Finally, she's awake but you didn't call her

and ask if she's willing to come back to work.

What are you doing?

I have hyperlipidemia. I'm not supposed to take sugar.

Listen. Don't think that I don't know what is playing on your mind

just because you don't say a word.

You must be worrying that as soon as this is over,

Qian Wei and Li Chongwen will overcome their obstacle, get back together,

and leave Zhanying Law Firm hand in hand.

They can get back together.

But what does that have to do with work?

I understand Qian Wei well.

You just have to give her a call and explain the situation to her.

She'll come back immediately.

Me? Why don't you make the call?

Listen. This is between you and her.

It's inappropriate for me to interfere.

The person who cares should make the call.

You can be stubborn all you want.

Coffee made by Qian Wei is so much better.

- What did you say? - Move.

What kind of expression was that? Give it back to me.

I'll throw it away.

[Rene Liu - We Are Not Together]

♫ But only you have accompanied me to the first place ♫

♫ Only you are able to understand that the dreams I've wanted were never big ♫

♫ We aren't together, but at least we can still be like lovers ♫

♫ I have been hurt, mad, and wounded, crying miserably before you ♫

♫ I know you are still unable to bring me to that place ♫

♫ You said that you are now fine, and that you enjoy the long memories ♫

♫ We aren't together, but at least we can still be like family ♫

♫ Always distantly caring, distantly sharing ♫

All the readings are back to normal. You can be discharged soon.

Thank you, Doctor.

You're welcome.

If you really want to thank someone, you should thank your boss.

If he didn't insist to bring in the advanced medical equipment from overseas,

you wouldn't have had woken up from the coma so soon.

But starting from now, you need to undergo brain physiotherapy

to prevent any side effects.

Doctor, I have a question.

When I was in a coma, I had a long dream.

Every detail in the dream was very clear.

Some of them were within my knowledge

but some of them were logical even though I've never experienced them.

Why did that happen?

Let me put it this way. The human brain is made up of neurons.

After the collision, the nerve injury impacted your brain.

Besides stimulation machines, we also told your friends and family

to remind you of the past.

The aim was to trigger and activate the damaged neurons.

Remind me of the past?

Yes. They might have told you things that you weren't aware of.

That means the blood donation card, signboard, and Cupid might be true.

Precisely because they told me that's why I had the dream.

We can't simply arrive at that conclusion.

After all, memories can be lies

especially when the nervous system isn't working normally.

It may create some details in order to complete the plot.

As for your dream,

whether it happened for real or merely your imagination,

you have to verify that on your own.

Doctor, do you have the ward visitor log when I was in the coma? I would like to take a look.

Sure.

Take a look.

[Lu Wentong, mother] [Lu Xun, colleague]

[Lu Xun, colleague] [Lu Wentong, mother]

[Lu Xun, colleague] [Lu Wentong, mother]

[Zhanying Law Firm]

♫ Do you hear that voice? ♫

♫ Maybe you don't care ♫

♫ I drag my exhausted body ♫

♫ Choking back a flash flood of tears ♫

♫ I remembered it was the melody in my dream ♫

Be it in the dream or in the reality, Lu Xun gave me a paper helmet. I don't think it's a coincidence.

♫ There is my ideal world ♫

♫ Although I don't have the courage to confess ♫

♫ I also want to sing the melody of my heart ♫

♫ A word, a sentence, a song ♫

♫ I want to get back my lost self ♫

In fact, I don't understand

how one human can fall in love with another human.

I guess that's because there is a void in everyone's heart.

However, the void can only be filled with a piece of the same shape.

You're the piece that can fill the void in my heart.

What are you doing?

During the class reunion,

you said that there's a void in your heart.

You weren't referring to Zixin. You were referring to me, right?

No.

When I was in a coma, I dreamed about a lot of incidents that I didn't know when I was in university.

The doctor said that I dreamed about those incidents because someone told me.

I checked the ward visitor log. It was always you who kept me company at night.

What kind of dream did you have?

Just answer my question.

Did you tell me many things that I didn't know in the past?

Here's the truth.

According to the hospital, you could have gone into a vegetative state.

You're still our employee.

If anything happened to you, it would be considered a work injury.

So, whenever I didn't have to work overtime,

I would go to your ward and read you some files and law regulations.

I just wanted to arouse your professionalism.

That's all.

Only files and law regulations?

"I want the thousand eyes of the eternal night, to see only you."

Back then, after Li Chongwen confessed to me, when I was on my way back to the hospital from the campus,

I saw a signboard with the poem. Wasn't it from you?

No.

That's a dream between you and someone else.

What does that have to do with me?

Tell me.

What did you dream?

I dreamed that I transmigrated back to the year 2011

and had the greatest relationship of my life.

However, when I woke up, I found out everything was fake.

That's right.

I'm not the female lead.

It's impossible for me to fall out of love just because I hit my head.

[Li Chongwen]

Since you woke up from the coma, it's time to live in reality.

How is Morris's case going?

Mr. Wei created the trouble.

It's nothing to do with you.

It has nothing to do with Li Chongwen either.

You should focus on recuperation.

Also, your dream is about someone else.

It's nothing to do with me. Don't bring it up again.

Go back and get some rest.

[I wish Qian Wei will always have a pure heart]

You just got discharged. Why are you back to work so soon?

Mr. Lu exploits his employee for real.

The weather is so cold. That's why I got you a cup of hot tea.

Thanks.

Are you free tonight? I've something to discuss with you.

Sure. I've something to tell you, too.

Isn't this a popular restaurant?

Why is it...

You're always a low-profile person. You don't like to be disturbed by others.

That's why I booked the entire restaurant.

Do you still remember this?

Isn't it the leaf that you took away when we broke up four years ago?

Yes.

Ever since we broke up,

my time stopped on the very autumn day four years ago.

Qian Wei, I know it clearly.

Only when you come back to me,

the four seasons in my life can rotate as usual.

The only future that I want is the future with you in it.

We had a fight after the banquet.

You returned it to me.

So, today, I want to give it back to you.

In the past,

you said that you were always unlucky.

Be it the lottery, lucky draw, or even a scratchcard,

you'd never won anything.

Since then, I secretly swore to myself. I swore,

I wanted to be the man who brought good luck to you.

When life let you down, I'd bring good luck to you.

Please forgive me for what I said out of anger.

Ever since we broke up,

I've been working hard so that I can earn enough to bring good luck to you.

I don't mind working hard or doing dirty work

as long as I can guarantee you a happy and innocent life.

Sit down.

Actually, I prepared something for you, too.

This is the empty wooden box that you gave me when you confessed to me.

You said that you'd fill up the box

with your hard work.

It's almost full...

but be it you or me, we've changed.

Is it...

Is it because of Lan He?

No.

She's nothing more than my superior.

I really don't care about your relationship.

It's over for me.

You said this before.

You said, my righteousness and unyielding personality

are the stumbling blocks in my journey to becoming a lawyer.

However, the same applies to you.

I don't understand your choice and compromise either.

What we want in life has never been the same.

From the beginning, we were heading in two different directions.

The longer it is, the further the distance between us.

If we force ourselves to be with each other,

we'll only get exhausted.

I know what you are trying to say.

I had thought about what you just said numerous times when you were in the coma.

I admit.

I admit that sometimes, I tend to force what I think is precious on you.

But it's okay.

Let me empty the box.

The box is now empty.

It's empty!

I can throw away whatever you don't want. Right?

Whatever you want, I can give it to you.

Aren't you... Aren't you interested in developing a charity platform?

I can help you out.

If you want to become a lawyer, I can help you in the National Judicial Examination.

I can register on the platform so that Chong Wei Law Firm can be reinstated.

I can do everything. I won't let you feel inferior again.

I'm not feeling inferior.

What I want in life will only be meaningful if I achieve it on my own.

Chong Wei Law Firm won't be reinstated.

The law firm ended four years ago.

No one can bring back the dead.

You and I should know that but we were childish back then.

We were unable to decide.

I don't deny our past.

Without the past, there is no present.

I don't deny what you did for me.

However, we can no longer blindfold ourselves like when we were young.

I know that you're kind in nature.

You must have gone through a lot to have come this far.

So, I'm sorry for you.

But there's no turning back.

I'm sorry.

Qian Wei, I know that you've just recovered.

You may be exhausted.

But I'm trying to seek another chance.

Please give me a chance to win your heart again. Okay?

I'll try my best. I mean it.

Did you know when someone recovers from a severe illness,

it feels as if they have started their life all over again?

This coma taught me how to see the world from a different perspective.

When we broke up four years back,

we were too busy living our life.

We didn't realize we were not meant for each other.

I've seen through you.

If you try to get an understanding of me, you'll realize...

we're really not meant for each other.

Didn't you know that sounding the horn is not allowed in the city?

You pressed on the horn so many times. Are you afraid that no one knows you're driving a four-wheel-drive car?

You're blocking my way.

What should I do? Should I hit you right away?

A gentleman doesn't fight with women.

Once I pick up Qian Wei, I'll give way to you and your broken car immediately.

Sure. I'm on my way to pick up Qian Wei, too.

Let's ask Qian Wei if she wants to hitch a ride on my four-wheel-drive car or your pathetic bike.

Sister, I'm here.

Now, you get to choose one out of two.

Do you prefer Liu Shiyun's pathetic car or my luxury bike?

Finally, you broke up with him.

Why are you still pulling a long face?

That's right. This is out of character for you, Qian Wei.

Liu, if you had a dream where you were back to 18 years old

and you went into the music school,

when you woke up and found that it was just a dream, what would you do?

It's normal.

I had that kind of dream on a daily basis in the past.

I used to regret that I didn't learn music.

However, after I dug out the wishing bottle, I decided to let go.

I don't get to put on a concert but it didn't stop me from enjoying music.

I can still sing at a karaoke.

We don't fall in love with someone or do something with the aim to succeed.

That's right. I swim because I enjoy swimming.

I don't swim because I want to be the champion.

You swim because you enjoy swimming.

You don't swim because you want to be the champion.

Did this come from Dad?

Yes.

I wasn't chosen into the national team.

Dad said that to comfort me.

Perhaps the dream is not fake entirely.

Stop thinking too much. You just got discharged from the hospital.

Let's go for something delicious as a celebration. Am I right?

Let's go for hotpot.

Forget it. She just got discharged.

She shouldn't go for something gamey. Can you even think?

Let me decide. We'll have Cantonese cuisine. It's bland.

Patients usually crave for something heavy. They can't taste bland food.

Why don't we go for river snail rice noodles?

That's a good idea. I love river snail rice noodles.

Since when did you start eating river snail rice noodles?

Not long ago, I got completely obsessed with river snail rice noodles.

So, I acquired Xing Wang River Snail Rice Noodles along University Street.

The shop is now known as Ms. Liu's River Snail Rice Noodles.

I didn't know that you had good taste. I loved their river snail rice noodles.

When my sister was in a coma, I took my mom on a trip to Liuzhou.

I went there specially for river snail rice noodles.

Really?

So, what happened in the dream may happen in real life.

If I work hard enough, perhaps Lu Xun will fall in love with me.

Let's go for river snail rice noodles. It's on me.

You don't have to spend a penny. It's on me.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

I'm not fighting for the cat.

This couple doesn't have any children.

The cat had accompanied them for the past ten years. They took the case as their child.

All they want is an apology from the pet hospital.

No doubt this kid can't afford our fees

but she was badly assaulted by her parents.

If I don't fight for her in changing guardians, she'll die soon.

[Chong Wei Law Firm: Case Files]

Her husband has gone missing,

leaving behind lots of debt.

Let me handle the joint debt which was not brought to her attention.

She said, when her financial status gets better,

she'll pay us accordingly.

I'm not a saint and I can't afford to do charity work all the time.

I can't afford to set up a charitable legal aid platform either.

But we can make a profit from five cases and take a pro bono case.

We can do that, right?

During those years, I was busy working on cases

that could bring us money and a bright future.

Our choices headed in different directions from that point in time.

I guess only these cases can bring you a sense of accomplishment.

[Chong Wei Law Firm: Case Files]

[Bouquet Invoice]

I'm the one who should apologize.

Qian Wei, what else can I do for you?

Dad. I met with an accident.

All thanks to the ring you gave me,

I escaped unscathed.

In the dream, I saw you once again.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking about Dad.

When he was ill, he had turtle soup every day.

Now, it's your turn to have turtle soup.

Mom.

When I was in a coma,

I transmigrated back to my youth.

Then...

Then, I saw Dad once again.

I made up for a lot of regrets.

But it's a shame that I still

didn't get to keep him in that dream.

But...

But at least this time,

I heard him saying goodbye.

I could feel his love for me.

Youth is wonderful.

If I could go back to my youth,

I would be willing to trade in everything I have in exchange.

Mom, what kind of youth did you have?

My youth lasted from 19 years old to 52 years old.

It started ever since I met your dad.

When your dad was still alive, he had two unfulfilled wishes.

The first one was to travel around the world and record the best scenery.

After he left, I did it on behalf of him.

I think he can see everything.

Another wish was to witness me passing the National Judicial Examination.

It's strange.

Did you know that in the dream, he also died

before I passed the National Judicial Examination?

But it's not too bad.

In the dream, he left me a present.

Did he prepare a present for you too in the dream?

"Too?"

He wanted me to tell you about the present

after you'd passed the exam.

We didn't expect it would take so many years.

You found it eventually.

It's okay.

Since I've received the present,

I'll pass the exam for sure.

Next year... When we visit Dad's grave next year,

I'll put on the wig and we'll pay him a visit.

If you are craving coffee, you can let me know.

I'm ready to prepare coffee for you anytime.

Here, stop drinking that coffee. Have this instead. It's good.

Here.

Don't worry. I'm back and I'll be ready all day long.

When you are craving coffee, I'll make your coffee right away.

Didn't you insist to resign?

Before I could say anything to keep you,

you slammed the door and left.

What's going on now?

Did you have an epiphany when you hit your head?

Or have you found your conscience?

Or are you enlightened by the blow to your head?

Or you suddenly realized that you don't have enough savings?

None of the above. I was young and naive.

I decided to stay because I love Zhanying Law Firm

and I'm passionate about law.

When I joined the law firm,

I swore that I'd devote all my life to the law industry.

Don't worry. This time, I promise I'll make up for my mistake.

That's easy of you to say.

You got me into trouble all the time.

Did you know how many clients we lost due to Morris's case?

You're right. It's my fault.

That's why once I got discharged, I immediately started working on Morris's case.

But... Lu Xun doesn't want me to take part in the case.

I was thinking if you could lend me a hand.

I mean... Please speak for me.

If you give out the instructions, I promise I'll be on the job right away.

Lu Xun doesn't want you to take part in Morris's case because he's protecting you.

On the second day after the accident,

Morris sent representatives to the law firm demanding compensation.

They wanted us to fire you.

Lu Xun stood forward and promised to settle the problem within a week

in exchange for your job.

At first, I didn't have any hope.

I was really surprised when he turned the table.

I have to admit that my disciple

is quite capable.

Yes.

By the way, I heard that back in university,

you're second only to Lu Xun.

That's right. It's true.

How strange.

Both of you graduated from the same university.

Can't you see how he's doing?

He's doing so well.

He's now a junior partner of the firm.

Look at you.

You haven't made much progress in your career. You're still the assistant lawyer.

What happened to you?

I was unlucky.

You're unlucky?

I think you're merely useless.

You graduated from a law school.

What's known as Professional Qualifying Examination back then

has been reformed into National Judicial Examination.

You haven't even gotten the certificate yet.

Don't you think it's embarrassing?

Isn't it embarrassing?

Though you're not making any progress,

Lu Xun insists to take you under his wing.

He said you're pretty, kind-hearted,

meticulous in doing forms, and drive safely.

More importantly, you can make five types of coffee.

Why are you smiling? Be serious.

But you need to understand one thing.

Zhanying Law Firm doesn't need a good clerk

but a good lawyer.

If you plan to be an assistant lawyer for the rest of your life,

one day soon, the one who protects you from wind and rain will get tired.

Do you get it?

Even if you're traumatized, it's been a long time.

You should have overcome the trauma by now.

Don't worry. I've grown up.

I'm different from the old me.

I can be the one who protects others from wind and rain.

Please give me a chance. Let me prove it to you.

- Really? - Yeah.

I still like this coffee better.

Fine.

Since no one else is around, let's place a bet.

From now on, if you can turn things around

by passing the examination and settling Morris's case,

I'll personally order the staff tag for you.

If you can't do it, I'll teach you a lesson!

Don't worry. Now...

I'll see Lu Xun now and find clues with him.

I'll go now.

Come back. Sit down.

Lu Xun hasn't gone to the office for the past two days.

He's busy looking into Noah of Ice.

He left behind something in the office.

Since you're going to see him, please deliver this to him.

It's for allergies. I knew it.

He surely still keeps Cupid with him.

I'll send it to him. Don't worry.

Slow down!
