[A Date with the Future]

[Episode 9] [Ping'an Gets a Head Start on Opening the Door to Jin's Heart]

Just colleagues?

Fine then.

What's so great about being colleagues? Are you amazing?

Are you hungry?

Let's eat.

Come on, let's eat.

Eat slower.

I'm hungry, too.

What's the point of a relationship?

Even a dog has food to eat.

I'm worse off than a dog.

Hello, Huo.

Why do you sound

so lifeless?

I haven't eaten.

Why haven't you eaten?

I have no appetite. Why are you calling?

I'm right outside the training base now.

Come out, I've brought you some delicious food.

Really? Wait for me.

This meal couldn't have come at a better time.

Here. It's all your favorites.

Dumplings,

milk tea,

straw. Eat the dumplings first.

Eat slowly.

Xu Lai.

What's wrong with you?

Why don't you go home?

My parents fought again last night.

I don't want to go back so early.

Alright, don't be upset.

Let me show you a place.

- Where are we going? - You'll know when we get there. Let's go.

You set up all these?

This place will be our secret base from now on.

Whenever you're unhappy,

you can come here.

This will be our eternal haven.

Thank you. I love it.

The starry sky is beautiful today.

Yeah.

It is as beautiful as the starry sky

we used to see at the secret base when we were kids.

Time flies.

Meeting you and Han Fang

and becoming good friends with you

were the happiest times of my childhood.

What's with that expression? Do you regret it?

Yes, I regret it.

Being your friend is tiring, okay?

It's too late for you to regret it now.

Once friends, forever friends.

We agreed to be best buddies.

You can't get away from me.

Are you asleep?

Ping'an. What's wrong with her?

Xu Lai.

Where did she go at such a late hour?

Do you know where she went, Ping'an?

Tell me.

Ping'an.

Why are you here?

Ping'an was worried about you.

No wonder you didn't eat.

You had a date.

I didn't eat because of you.

Team members can't leave without permission.

You violated the rules. Now come back with me.

Ping'an.

- I got to go. - Wait.

Ping'an. What are you barking about?

Huo, I'll go back first.

I'm an instructor. I have to follow the rules.

You should go back, too.

Whose dog are you, anyway?

Why are you angry with the dog?

I'm angry with the dog.

Dog, don't talk to me.

You're behaving like a child.

That's better than someone.

Someone who cares but refuses to admit it.

Someone who is envious but refuses to admit it.

Someone who always puts on a serious face while pretending to be an adult.

And thinks he's pretty cool.

Ping'an, back to the doghouse.

Let's go.

Mr. Jin.

Are you looking for this?

Give me back the key.

Did you come here to give me noodles?

Did you cook this yourself?

You've already eaten with someone else.

I guess you can't eat anymore.

Who says I can't eat?

These are the noodles

you cook for me.

Only I can eat them.

Don't eat. It has gone cold.

The noodles are cold, but my heart is warm.

These are the best noodles I've ever had.

Thank you, Mr. Jin.

Search and rescue dogs

face a variety of challenges.

One of them is fire.

After a fire has been put out,

they have to look for people who may be trapped on the scene.

What should they do if they come across a rekindling open flame?

Today's training content is

to help dogs overcome

the fear of open flames.

I'll now show you a demonstration.

Ping'an, jump!

Come.

Okay, now each of us will try with our dogs.

Who will be the first to try?

Me.

Come.

Can you do it?

No problem.

Come on, Vince.

Don't move, Vince.

Okay, Vince. Stop.

Go.

I told you you couldn't do it.

- It's bad. - No face.

Why are you laughing? You can't do it either.

I can do it.

Lu Fangqi, you give it a try.

Go on.

- Give it a try, give it a try. - Go on.

Just give it a try.

Hurry up, go on.

He is so mean.

Don't move, don't run, don't run.

Like this, like this.

You're not…

Go, over there.

Quick, over there.

Black!

Black!

Okay, let's continue.

Who's next?

I'll go.

Go ahead, Zhang Yang.

Come, Champ. Lean. Stop.

Lean, lean.

Sit, sit. Good dog.

Alright, get up, Champ.

Show them your ability, okay?

Champ, jump!

Hurry, take it to the veterinarian.

Zhang Yang, step out.

Why did Champ get injured?

Reporting to Mr. Jin.

I ignored Champ's physical condition

and took him to extra training without permission.

Come, Champ. Good dog.

Dog training is about the dog choosing you

rather than you choosing the dog.

From the moment it chooses to trust you

and follow you,

the dog is your comrade-in-arms.

In my team,

reckless disregard for the safety of comrades

is absolutely not allowed.

Dog trainers and dogs advance and retreat together.

Now that Champ is injured,

and there is no need for you to stay.

Reporting to Sir.

Zhang Yang has been working hard in training.

Could you give him another chance?

He violated the rules.

He will stop training and change to logistics.

No one can plead for him.

[Zhang Yang's personal information]

About Zhang Yang's matter,

I want to talk to you.

If you want to intercede for him,

you don't have to.

I think this punishment for Zhang Yang

is too severe.

He may be arrogant and competitive,

but his personality is not bad.

This time,

I believe the mistake is primarily

due to his lack of knowledge about his dog.

Protecting their dogs

is the bottom line for dog trainers.

Zhang Yang should be responsible for Champ's injury.

And you, as an instructor,

should also be responsible for this.

At this time, you should not cover up for your trainee.

What about Windhound?

Shouldn't you be responsible for it too?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up Windhound.

No need to say.

I should take responsibility for this matter.

So from then on,

I haven't led a dog myself.

This is my punishment for myself.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up Windhound.

But my point is,

whether it was Windhound in the past,

or Champ now,

what they must want to see is not

the punishment of dog trainers.

Dog trainers need to protect dogs,

and dogs wholeheartedly want to protect dog trainers too.

Such an outcome is definitely not what they want to see.

What I say doesn't matter in Zhang Yang's case.

It's up to the brigade's party committee to make a decision.

As your team member,

are you going to give up on him like this?

This is discipline.

If I break the discipline,

would you also give up on me like this without hesitation?

Yes.

You really are a cold stone.

Hello, Commissar.

Shichuan.

The application report submitted by Xu Lai

has already been approved by the higher-ups.

What application report?

Didn't Xu Lai tell you?

Xu Lai wants Ping'an to be a part of the rescue team.

The higher-ups have looked at Ping'an's file,

and approved the application.

However, there's one thing I have to make clear to you.

Ping'an,

like all other rescue dogs,

must pass the graduation assessment

in order to be officially added to the duty roster.

Yes, I understand.

Hey, team leader.

The first draft of the article has been sent to your email.

Remember to check it.

You're really amazing.

I know you're capable,

but I didn't expect you to be this capable.

You are extremely efficient,

even when working multiple jobs.

I wish I could be even more efficient.

So that I can finish my tasks early and go back.

Leaving early is not a problem.

But remember.

Before you leave the team,

interview Mr. Jin.

Okay. I got it.

Xu Lai.

I just received a call from Commissar Wen.

I'd like to speak with you about Ping'an.

About Ping'an joining the rescue team,

the higher-ups have already approved it.

But the premise is,

it, like the other training dogs,

must pass the graduation assessment.

Lu Fangqi, come over here for a moment.

You guys continue.

What are you two doing?

Tell Mr. Jin

I have already received the notification.

There's no need for him to convey it.

She said she received it.

We need to find a suitable dog trainer to

ensure Ping'an passes the graduation assessment.

Do you have a suitable candidate in mind?

Tell Mr. Jin

there was a suitable candidate,

but now suddenly I feel

it's not suitable anymore.

- She said… - Let me remind you.

This candidate must be found as soon as possible.

Otherwise, during the assessment,

it will affect the tacit understanding between Ping'an

and the dog trainer.

Tell Mr. Jin,

I have Ping'an's matter in mind.

He doesn't need to remind me.

Tell Trainer Xu,

her approach is very childish.

Tell Mr. Jin

Ping'an doesn't need his concern.

No, why can't you stop

using me as a messenger?

It's not necessary, right?

Are you done talking?

It's not because of me, right?

Isn't that Zhang Yang?

He looks bad.

- Liu Xu. - Yes.

I have a task for you.

Hurry up and move it.

One more scoop.

Time to eat.

What's going on?

Why do you have so much meat and I have so little?

You can eat together too.

Zhang Yang must have given you that.

When did you two become so close without my knowledge?

Don't ask. I won't tell you.

I don't care, I don't care.

What do you want to eat?

- What to eat? - Let's have shrimp.

This, this, and this.

What's going on with Trainer Xu and Mr. Jin?

They don't even talk when they see each other.

- This-- - According to the gossip,

Mr. Jin has enraged Trainer Xu

as a result of

Zhang Yang's transfer.

Really?

Trainer Xu.

Zhang Yang, how are you?

Are you able to adapt well in logistics?

I'm doing great, Trainer Xu.

There's something I want to tell you.

You want to ask about Champ, right?

Don't worry. I change its medicine every day. It's recovering very well.

I heard from Liu Xu about Champ.

Thank you, Trainer Xu, for helping Champ recover so well.

But I'd like to speak about Mr. Jin.

What's with him?

During my time on the logistics team,

Mr. Jin secretly arranged for Liu Xu to assist and look after me.

Mr. Jin sent me to the logistics team

to get me in shape.

He didn't give up on me.

Trainer Xu, I know

you've been fighting for me.

But you really misunderstood him.

I got it.

I misunderstood Jin Shichuan.

I said so many angry words to him.

No, sending a message seems insincere.

Dear leader, Jin Shichuan,

Due to my subjectivity at work,

I misunderstood your decision on handling the team members,

and made immature actions.

I said many irrational words.

For this, I feel guilty and blame myself.

I have seriously reflected on my mistakes,

and deeply reviewed myself.

Reflection results are as follows:

Firstly, I should not have interfered

with your management of the team members,

and doubted your judgment.

Secondly, I should not have accused you

of your punishment decision on Zhang Yang,

and brought personal emotions into work.

Thirdly, and most importantly,

I should not have questioned your character,

and hurt you with my words.

I apologize for my impulsiveness and immaturity.

I have deeply reflected,

and am determined to change.

Please give me another chance

to correct my mistakes.

From Xu Lai.

If you are willing to forgive me,

come to the field at 8 p.m. tonight.

I want to apologize to you in person.

Will he not come?

What if his attitude is icy when he arrives?

The moment he appeared,

all my reservations,

all my anxiety,

all my uneasiness,

vanished in an instant.

He walked towards me with the light,

just like he did ten years ago,

as if illuminating the whole world.

You came.

I read your letter.

I think there are some things

I need to clarify with you in person.

I'm sorry. I was wrong this time.

I shouldn't have been so subjective.

No need to apologize.

Actually, on the matter of Zhang Yang,

I didn't express my inner thoughts,

which made you have doubts.

This is normal.

I can understand your feelings as an instructor,

wanting to protect your team members.

You're really not angry?

What's there to be angry about?

Will you deduct points from me

because of this incident?

What do you mean?

It's the impression score.

Like in school exams,

you lose points for the wrong answer.

If you're going to deduct points from me,

could you please add them back

in consideration of my sincere apologies?

What points are you talking about?

I found that your way of thinking

is indeed a little different from that of most people.

So, is there a point deduction or not?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I mean, did you deduct my points?

Let me think.

Have you thought of it?

No, no point deduction.

Really?

Well, then give me a score.

What's my score

in your heart now?

Jin Shichuan,

I don't want to play the game of

loosening the reins just to get a better grip on it with you anymore.

I don't want to hide, I don't want to test,

and I don't want any more misunderstandings between us.

I want to tell you directly and honestly,

I like you.

And I like you very, very, very, very much.

I believe that one day,

you will like me too.

Before that, don't even think about drawing a line with me.

Why is she so cute?

[Ji Feng Training Base]

Defend, pass, quickly!

Mr. Jin, did you get heatstroke?

Mr. Jin, why didn't you move just now?

You guys keep playing.

This isn't heatstroke. It's the poison of Xu Lai.

Let's go.

Are you going for a walk?

Yes, I have something to tell you while walking.

Okay.

This weekend, I want to take team members who are on vacation and their dogs

to the beach to train in a different setting.

In this way, the dogs will be more relaxed,

and they will be more willing to get close to their trainers,

and be more obedient to commands.

Okay, no problem.

You agreed so quickly.

I thought you might be worried about slowing down training.

The graduation assessment is about to begin,

and they must be very nervous.

They can take advantage of this opportunity

to unwind in a different setting.

You are a professional dog trainer.

I trust your judgment.

I'll listen to you.

You'll listen to me?

I'll go notify my team members.

Although I'm strict with them usually,

after all, they are just young people in their early twenties.

Who can be sensible and mature from the beginning?

When I was their age,

I was much more naughty than them.

You make it sound like you're old, but you're not.

I'm old inside here.

Actually, you look great when you smile.

Just as young and radiant as them.

I'm not smiling.

You were obviously smiling.

- That's sunburn. - You smile until your dimples are out.

Can you smile again?

Alright, I know you're the captain.

A captain should look like a captain.

Let's start training. Let's go together.

Hurry up.

Dogs, are you ready?

Go, go, go.

Drill, drill.

Good job, Black.

Jump, jump.

Black. Black. Stone.

Ping'an, jump.

Ping'an, jump.

Jump. Drill.

Ping'an.

No, no, no.

No, no, no. No, no, no.

It likes you a lot.

What are you going to do?

Good shot.

Have you noticed

how Mr. Jin seems different lately?

Let me tell you, ever since Xu Lai came,

he started smiling.

Come, sit here. Come here.

Is this your first time at the beach?

Are you very happy?

No, don't move, don't move.

- Alright. - Black, sit.

Sit.

Sit.

Sit.

Sit. Good job.

Ping'an, up.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Lean, good job.

What are you thinking about? Everyone's gone.

I'm thinking about it.

It will remain on the team as a search and rescue dog.

Have you considered

who will be its trainer?

I have thought about it.

Ping'an has always been here for you from the beginning,

I don't lead dogs.

You like it a lot after being together for a while, don't you?

I can't lead any other dogs besides Windhound.

Think about someone else.

Help! Help!

- Go, Ping'an. - Help!

Help.

Help.

Ping'an.

Help, help.

Is this 120?

Jin Shichuan!

Jin Shichuan!

Ping'an!

What are you looking at?

Why haven't Mr. Jin and Xu Lai come yet?

They are talking about something secret.

Leave them alone.

Alright. I'll go eavesdrop.

Tell them to wait a moment.

Wait a moment. I'll go with you.

Lu Fangqi, hurry.

Let's go.

He woke up.

Hey, are you okay?

He woke up.

Where's Ping'an?

Ping'an!

Ping'an!

- Take it to the hospital. - Let's go.

It may have choked on water, or there may be foreign objects in its stomach.

It's in a very dangerous situation now.

We must examine and treat it immediately.

What do you mean by dangerous?

Can you save it?

We don't know yet.

We'll know after the examination.

Sir, please don't come in.

Close the door.

Alright.

Believe in Ping'an.

Believe in the vet.

Do you know why I chose to train dogs?

Actually, I've been asking around about you.

I know that after Windhound died,

you left the search and rescue dog team

and went to work at the fire station.

So I was wondering

if it was Windhound's death

that left you traumatized.

I'd been considering what I could do for you

until I met Ping'an.

It's so similar to Windhound.

So I hope

Ping'an can heal you.

Ping'an has been waiting for you.

Don't let it wait too long.

You're here again.

What disease are you here to see Doctor Zang for this time?

I hurt my arm a few days ago.

I want to find Doctor Zang to have a look.

We are all aware that

only Doctor Zang

is capable of curing your illness.

This is due to Doctor Zang's exceptional medical abilities.

I definitely didn't come to see her on purpose.

Alright, alright, don't explain.

Doctor Zang is performing surgery.

You'll have to wait here.

Okay.

Wake up.

This is not a sleeping area.

You've done surgery?

Didn't I tell you not to

come here all the time?

No, our team saved someone today.

I was in charge of sending them here.

So I came by to say hello to you.

Then are you done? If you're done, just leave. I'm busy.

I--

A-Are you okay?

Are you not feeling well?

It's fine.

My stomach hurts. It's my old illness.

You haven't eaten anything all day, have you?

I didn't have time to eat because I had been performing surgery all day.

You can't stand it without eating all day.

Come on, I'll take you to eat.
