[Fireworks of My Heart]

[Adapted from the novel "A City, Waiting for You" by Jiuyuexi]

[Episode 18]

Congratulations.

Xu Qin, are you jealous?

This is who I am.

It's not like this is your first day knowing me.

Xu Qin,

you made your decision long ago.

I respect your decision.

However, have you ever considered this question?

Maybe, one day, I'll get over you entirely.

After that, I'll fall for another woman.

I'll marry her and have kids with her.

Da Peng, you're here too?

Nan.

Da Peng.

Is this glove yours?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's mine.

You didn't wash it thoroughly.

To me, it's fine as long as it doesn't smell.

Boys your age are lazy.

Look. You just need to use some detergent and scrub it.

It'll be clean then.

Nan,

are all doctors somewhat of a cleanliness freak?

This is basic hygiene. We're not cleanliness freaks.

I'm speechless.

Da Peng, did you join the fire station at a young age?

I was in the military before this. I joined when I was 18.

After I retired, the fire station went through a reform.

That's why I joined the fire station.

Do you feel any difference then?

It's almost the same thing. I'm serving the people either way.

All done. Here you go.

It's much cleaner now.

Thank you, Nan.

Don't mention it. I'll go now.

Mister, thank you for saving us.

You can have this candy.

I want to thank you too.

Humans are complicated beings indeed.

If only everyone was as pure and simple as you.

Are you mocking me again?

I'm complimenting you.

As if.

Dr Yang, hand in the report for me. I'll return to the fire station first.

Dr Xu.

Hello.

Did Chen Yu tell you why he saved them?

I don't understand.

He's a crook.

Why would he save other people time and time again?

Are you another one of his "girlfriends"?

I asked him out

because I intended to give him a beating together with the other victims.

After that, we'll send him to the cops.

In the end, that incident happened.

It's been two years.

I treated him with all my heart.

People say that getting scammed

is fine as long as they don't scam you of your money.

It's different for me.

You can scam me of anything but my feelings.

I hate him to the core now.

However, I saw him

helping the others to escape during the emergency, including me.

It's like he has two different personalities inside his body.

Maybe bravery and vileness can co-exist in one body.

Thank you, Dr Xu.

I'll make a move first.

I need to record my statement in the police station.

"Respect to the hero, Chen Yu"

What happened to Chen Yu after that?

I heard that he owned up to his crimes honestly after getting captured.

The public security organization showed him leniency due to his heroic deeds.

I think he changed his way after receiving other people's praises.

He returned all the money he took from others.

Those girls also gave him a chance to write a letter of agreement.

The netizens are praising the girls for their magnanimity

for saving Chen Yu's future.

Kindness is powerful indeed.

Instructor, thank you for assisting us in the second fire inspection.

It's my job.

The fire station and the fire safety agency belong to the same family.

Let's go.

Let's go.

We've confirmed the safety of the area and decontaminated the area.

There were many flammables here.

And, the burn marks are severe.

All these foams were formed during our fire rescue mission.

This must be the source of fire.

Are there other sources of fire?

Let's take a look.

Guys, good job.

Good job, everyone.

It must've been tough.

Madam, a fire just happened not long ago.

It's dangerous here. Why don't I keep you company?

It's pale and crooked.

The surface paint has peeled.

The circuits are too old. There was a short circuit.

The fire travelled all the way there in just a second.

Mr Zhao.

Be careful.

Madam, let's not waste any time here, okay?

My warehouse is huge. There's plenty of trash here.

You're looking for them one by one? When will your search end?

I smell oil.

The fire spread quickly.

Your time of arrival was 9:55pm, right?

The fire was already all over the place when we were here.

This might be another source of fire.

Let's check out the other areas.

Add this to the sources of fire.

Madam,

can you give us the accident investigation report as soon as possible?

It's tough to manage a business.

- Please help me out. - Calm down.

We'll do a test first.

Who are you guys? How did you guys get in here?

Is it that difficult to give me an accident investigation report?

Did you think my warehouse would be burned down if you firefighters weren't late to the scene?

Are you guys trying to shirk your responsibilities here?

There are records of us receiving the report and responding to it.

They're trying to hinder me.

Fine. I won't expect you guys to give me the accident investigation report.

I'll hire a third party to do it. It's more objective and fair that way.

You guys can leave now.

You may leave, but leave the evidence behind.

The fire station has sealed this place off.

Please cooperate and leave the place.

It's difficult to request you guys for something, huh?

Yeah.

Let's talk this over.

You better don't go overboard.

So what if I do touch you guys?

What can you do?

Don't do that!

Da Peng, do not retaliate!

Do not retaliate!

Protect the evidence! Go!

According to Article 277 of Criminal Law of The People's Republic of China,

whoever obstructs a state functionary from carrying out his duties

shall be sentenced to imprisonment of not more than three years.

Captain?

Protect Staff Officer Li.

Go!

Go!

After him! Don't let him escape!

Don't!

- Don't move! - Nobody moves!

- Get up! - Freeze!

- Freeze! - Get up!

Sir.

- Come. - Thank you.

Chi, are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

It's just a minor injury. Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

- Tell me. - The fire was spreading.

- Was there a combustion enhancer? - Yes.

Was it petrol or diesel?

Petrol. And there were many sources of fire.

So, it was arson.

Sir.

Sorry about that. It was just a misunderstanding.

I know you guys are magnanimous.

Please don't hold it against an ordinary citizen like me.

We'll only look at the test result.

What test? This is an accident. What test?

You can keep your explanation for the police.

Instructor, how many years will one be imprisoned for arson?

Three years or above, ten years or below.

You bought insurance, right?

Is this an insurance fraud?

That's not it!

Sir,

I'm pretty close with your superiors in the provincial bureau.

You should let me off on his account.

Don't make it embarrassing for all of us, okay?

You can complain about me if you have any complaints.

I'm Song Yan from Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Station.

I'm Jiang Yu.

Don't move.

Stop right there.

Don't let me see you again.

You did that on purpose, didn't you?

I'm disinfecting your wound. You're afraid of a little pain, huh?

Did you do that on purpose?

Stay put.

Sir, I have a complaint. She's tormenting me.

Tell me your name if you dare!

Come on!

Xu Qin from the ER Department in the city's hospital.

Get up!

Just you wait!

Yan, Dr Xu is just like you.

Yang...

Yang...

Me?

That's right. Firefighter Yang.

What's with the name? Just call me Yang Chi.

No, your hand is wounded.

It's just a scratch. I get it often. I'm fine.

Sit down. I'll treat your wound.

Thank you then.

That's fine. It doesn't hurt at all.

It doesn't hurt.

I would've beaten them up if the instructor didn't stop me.

Enough. Don't bring that up again.

We're done. Lift your head.

Yi, I'm fine. You should go.

I'm free anyway. I'll keep you company.

I'm fine.

Why don't you check on the others?

So, Dr Li, please look after him.

No problem.

This hurts a little.

Enough.

It didn't hurt when you got into a fight, huh?

I didn't retaliate.

Yeah, I know, poor guy.

Da Peng.

Instructor.

You took the blow for me.

Sorry about that.

Instructor, that's fine.

You won't blame me for telling you guys

not to retaliate, right?

No.

This is our principle.

We cannot get into a conflict with civilians.

Rinse your mouth after she's done treating your wound.

Yeah, yeah. What a pampered guy.

- Do you feel better? - I feel much better.

Rinse your mouth. Hurry.

I know that.

Don't cry.

I'm fine.

It's common for firefighters to be wounded.

There's no need for you to cry.

I'm truly fine.

I...

This is how I am.

Did I scare you just now?

No.

Don't do that again.

Do what?

Don't offend them.

Don't pretend to be tough and tell them your name.

Dr Xu,

pack your things. We're heading back.

I'm done here.

Thank you, Captain.

You need some time to recover.

I'm fine.

Captain.

That hurts.

How do you feel all this while?

What do you mean?

How do you feel about your work here?

What? You think I was asking you how you feel about him?

To be honest, it's a waste of talent.

- Who do you mean? - It's a waste of my talent.

Dr Xu, I heard from Li Nan that you had a strong personality.

I didn't expect you to be this confident in yourself.

To be honest, this team won't last long.

After cooperating with you guys, I think

letting the doctors at hospitals joining your fire and rescue missions

isn't a long-term plan.

We can contribute much more when we're in the hospitals.

But luckily, this experimental team will end soon.

I think our team is a success though.

Look.

We had chemistry,

our responses were swift,

and we were efficient with our rescues too.

However, there's an issue with the longevity of the system.

But I think the issue can be resolved.

Listen to me.

If you guys need medical professionals, you guys can recruit them yourselves.

You can hire them as staff or give them contracts.

You know it's unrealistic for the hospital's staff to stay here long-term.

You didn't see the way Da Peng was staring at Dr Li Nan just now.

- Listen. - Say, if a nurse

sheds tears when she's treating your wound,

does that mean she's concerned about you?

You have a potential partner too?

Who is it?

Let me see! Who is it?

Enough!

- You must be mistaken. - No way.

I have perfect eyesight.

It's just a scratch. Why would she be concerned?

I'm sure you're mistaken.

That's impossible. It's either that, or she fancies me.

The one who treated your wound?

It's Xu Xi.

- Don't do it! - Xu Xi!

You're so annoying!

Enough already. I'll tell you when things get going.

- My goodness. - You two are something else.

If so, why are you cooperating with us with everything you got then?

It's my habit. I'm a dedicated person.

Fine. You're dedicated.

I heard from my mother that your mother was going to introduce you

to the Dong family for another matchmaking session.

You even know about that?

But I think you two aren't suitable for each other.

Yan.

Did you realise something?

Seems like our instructor is pretty close to Dr Xu.

I didn't notice.

My mother can help us to get together.

But in her eyes, you're someone who neglects your duties.

Don't say that. I'll resign right now and make a name for myself.

- Will you be together with me by then? - Sure.

I'll thank you for saving me then.

Don't say that.

It's my first time thinking that...

What are they chatting about? Looks like they're enjoying themselves.

They're laughing.

Got it. Yan.

I'll deal with them for you.

- You and... - Instructor.

Time to go.

They're calling for you.

I'll take the other van.

Consider it, okay?

Yan, what do you think?

In the future, just give us an expression.

- We'll know what to do. - Shut up.

I have a complaint!

It's someone from the Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Station!

Who is it?

Stay in your seat.

They showed a terrible attitude!

They used force to enforce the law!

That's right!

Depart.

Hey!

Sir.

Come in.

[Detachment Captain's Office]

I did it. It has nothing to do with the instructor.

I reached the scene first. He was our backup.

I was the one who beat them up. Punish me alone.

I didn't protect them well. I'll take responsibility.

This is tough.

I only have one prize here.

Who shall I give it to?

No retaliation or argument.

That's the discipline we need to follow.

As long as we're wearing this uniform,

we need to remember that we do not represent ourselves.

We represent the entire collective.

We represent the image of the fire station.

Am I right?

I'm partly responsible for it.

They did it to protect me.

However, I was only able to find out

the true cause of the fire all thanks to their help.

Do you think I'm a fool?

Someone complained to the headquarters today.

I was reprimanded.

I was reprimanded for a long time.

But I felt relieved.

Why?

Because the result showed that it was a case of arson.

We have to punish them.

Even if he has connections with our superiors,

we still have to punish him.

That's why you two did a great job.

My son-in-law

bought me this tea during the Chinese New Year.

I only have one can of tea left.

- You two can share it. - Chief Gao, you can keep it.

Thank you, Chief Gao.

You're pretty quick, huh?

You beat them up, didn't you?

You're wrong.

It's wrong to beat people up, you know?

However, when you encounter crooks,

you have to defend your duty and defend yourself accordingly.

Write a report about the situation.

Same old rules. Give me a 3,000-word report. Not a single word less.

Same old rules?

- So... - Write it yourself.

Yes, sir.

Attention!

Left turn!

Quick march, go!

Did I say anything wrong just now?

No.

If so, what are you laughing at?

I didn't.

And, why did you interrupt me when I was lecturing them?

I didn't.

Captain Song, thank you.

You're thanking me?

For what?

I would've been hospitalized if it weren't for you.

You still dare to say that?

The instructor of Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Station had his shoes all over the place.

It's embarrassing for me even if you don't think so.

I'm fine with 1V1s.

But 1V5 is impossible for me.

Besides, my training has been proven to be effective.

You have to trust me.

You want to thank me, huh?

- About the report... - Leave the report to me.

I promise you I'll do a good job in reporting the entire situation.

Not bad at all.

At least you have good awareness.

I chatted with Xu Qin last night.

You two do get along well, huh?

Only idiots can't tell that we get along well.

That's not it.

Before this, she had complaints about our missions.

But she didn't complain at all when she joined us for the missions lately.

Tell me.

Don't you think she has feelings for someone in the fire station?

With your sharp senses,

do you think

that she's in love with me?

- You? - Yeah.

I told you this before, right?

Our families were great friends. And, we had meals together before.

Even so, she wasn't that passionate to me. But look at her lately.

Don't you think she fell for my working attitude?

Did I charm her?

According to the Internet,

men are the most charming when they're serious at work.

I feel like throwing up.

Don't throw up first.

You two are close, right?

I want to inquire about something.

No, we're not.

Why are you trying to inquire about her?

I'm a guy. She's a girl.

If she likes me, I have to woo her.

You have no idea the kinds of girls my mother had introduced to me.

I like cool girls who don't speak much.

But she always introduces bubbly girls who are passionate and proactive.

If she does like me, I'll woo her.

She doesn't like you.

She doesn't like me?

Did she tell you that?

I can tell without needing her to tell me.

And, who said she wasn't cool and didn't speak much?

Who said she wasn't bubbly and proactive?

Do you even know her well? What's with all the crap?

Do you know her well then? How could you know if she was cute or not?

I...

- I know her better than you. - Do you like her?

- Don't try to woo her. - Do you like her?

You like her, right? Do you like her?

- Tell me. - Yes.

I like her.

I like her more than you can see or understand.

You like her, huh?

This is my first time doing it.

I managed to make you express your true feelings.

It's my win this time.

Don't let me see you again today.

Don't even think about returning to our dorm tonight.

I don't care.

Do you like her? It's my win this time.

It's my win.

I'm furious when I think about it.

We're wearing this uniform to serve the people.

Why can't we retaliate when people are beating us up?

We're cowards.

Our instructor took a few blows in order to defend us.

Where can we redress our grievances?

Our instructor is kind indeed.

Although he's naggy, he does stand up for us when something happens.

Don't bring that up. I feel even more terrible

when I know that our instructor had to suffer for our sake.

Why must we suffer such grievances?

- Yeah. - It's fine.

I gave my mother a video call a few days ago.

I told her that being a firefighter was cool.

I was proven wrong.

We've been here for half a year.

We didn't get to visit our families yet.

But look at me now.

I don't dare to visit them now.

Precisely.

Visit our families, huh?

- All of you are here? - Instructor.

- Instructor! - Sit down.

Here, instructor. Have a seat.

Take the medicine.

Ge.

Thank you, Squad Leader.

Dr Xu said

you guys didn't go and change your dressing.

We did it ourselves.

Yeah, we did it ourselves.

What if you get an infection because of that?

These are just minor injuries.

Mainly, you were the one who was beaten up.

I'm fine.

Are you guys unhappy because of yesterday's conflict?

No.

- No. - No.

Good.

Good?

Yeah.

Judging from your expressions, I can tell that you guys are unhappy.

Zhan Da Peng

is emotionally affected.

And, Yang Chi told me that Gao Yu almost got injured during afternoon training.

I went to their dorm and chatted with them.

I think all of them were unhappy about it.

If it doesn't work out,

I'll chat with them one by one.

What do you think? Give me some ideas.

You sleep early whenever there's an issue we need to resolve.

I should not chat with them one by one.

If the chat goes sour, they'll become more upset.

I need to think of something.

You can do it, Jiang Yu.

You're not asleep?

I've never seen a grown man talking to himself before.

Why didn't you say anything when I was talking to you then?

You were answering your own questions. I didn't want to interrupt you.

Not only are you not helping me out here,

but it also looks like you're enjoying my suffering.

Be more confident.

I'm enjoying your suffering.

Now, they're troubled.

We should resolve the issue right now.

If we don't resolve them now,

what should we do if their emotional states affect them during their missions?

You and your nags.

You're becoming more and more like a true instructor.

You can do it, Jiang Yu.

Who are you trying to mock here?

It feels great to have two pillows.

This is the part where you should give it back.

It's good for your spine if you lie flat on the bed.

Sleep now, my dear Jiang Yu.

Now, it is 10:03pm.

It is 29.2°C.

Captain! Instructor!

Squad Three is here!

Zhan Da Peng.

- Yes, sir. - Pi Pi.

- Yes, sir. - Ge Zheng.

- Yes, sir. - Tang Jie.

- Yes, sir. - Fall out.

Get in the car.

Yes, sir.

The rest of you, resume your training.

Yes, sir!

Let's go.

Stand properly.

Captain Song, please point out the criminals who had obstructed and assaulted you all.

This glass is one-sided, right?

That's right.

We're trying to protect the witness here

by preventing the criminals from recognizing the witness's face.

We are not afraid.

We can only see their faces clearly when we're inside.

It felt great when you hit a firefighter, huh?

We wore our uniforms to save people.

We won't retaliate or bully you guys.

However, when we take them off,

we can beat you guys up in just a few seconds.

Come. Point them out.

- Yes, sir. - It's them.

Do you remember the wound you gave me?

Officer Wang, they obstructed us from completing our mission.

They even beat our members up.

They broke the law, right?

Of course.

They threatened and impeded the work of state agency personnel.

It's a crime of interference with public administration.

They're sentenced to not more than three years of fixed-term imprisonment,

detention, control, or a fine.

Did you guys hear that?

What? It's that severe when we just beat up a firefighter?

You guys better don't try anything funny.

Buddy.

- Sir. - My dear sir!

- I won't do it again! - Let go of me.

- Why don't I... - I can't afford to go to prison.

Please don't hold it against us!

You can beat me up.

I didn't punch you.

I won't do it again.

- I promise. - Let go of me.

It was my fault.

I would've beaten you up if I didn't hold it in.

You guys punched a firefighter.

I'll kneel, okay?

Hurry!

Faster!

Sprint!

Not bad, Pi Pi.

You're faster than Ge now.

Didn't you say you were in no mood to play video games too?

I'm fully reinvigorated now.

Forget about Ge.

Even if it's you,

I think I can defeat you.

Stop bragging.

Listen.

You would never be faster than me if it weren't for my leg injury.

He's pretty good now.

Not at all.

I think our captain is the best.

All those fierce thugs, they became timid when they saw our captain.

They wanted to kneel in front of him. That was so satisfying.

Our captain was so cool.

Yeah.

You guys did great this time. All of you have shown improvements.

Listen up.

Don't compare our captain to those thugs in the future.

He's not a brute.

You guys should notice his other qualities.

He's tough, loving, the best in his field, and a versatile leader.

All of you should learn from him.

Yes, sir.

Squad Leader, when can I become someone like our captain?

I think you stand a chance.

Maybe in your next life.

You!

What's wrong?

You're unsatisfied with that?

It was just a 5km run.

- Let's do another lap. - Bring it on.

Squad Leader, I request additional training.

Not bad at all.

Do you have confidence in yourself?

- Yes, I do! - Get ready.

You can do it!
