[Fireworks of My Heart]

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

[Episode 19]

Here you go. Time to eat.

- Come on. - Are they your pets?

They are strays.

They're very bold and would often demand for food.

That's right.

Wait a minute. Something's wrong.

We normally feed Lai Fu at this hour. Why isn't it eating?

Is this one called Lai Fu?

Yeah.

- Yi named it. - Lai Fu.

Eat up, Lai Fu.

Sir, let me take a look.

Lai Fu.

What's up with you today?

Why aren't you eating?

Lai Fu?

Dr Xu, can you take a look?

Is Lai Fu sick?

- Let me check. - Yi.

Dr Xu isn't a vet.

She's a doctor. It's the same.

Let me look at it too.

Did it get frightened?

There's no wound.

Let me smell if there's anything weird. Could be a tummy bug.

- Let me see. - Check the mouth.

The mouth is fine. How about its claws?

Take a whiff. Anything?

Nothing.

I think it probably got frightened.

You've checked it from head to toe.

Found the problem yet?

Captain.

It's nothing serious.

It just needs some rest.

I think you should keep it.

Your house is big and spacious.

Great for keeping pets.

So I have to keep a cat because my house is big?

I think it's fine now, being free to go wherever it wants.

I thought you felt lonely.

I don't want to be bound by emotions.

Cats have a shorter lifespan than humans.

Mostly, I don't want to be inconvenienced.

Who's going to take care of it if I have to work overtime?

You're quite the pessimistic.

Captain Song has the right to speak.

He's raising Xiao Meng.

Listen to what he has to say about it.

He has the most right.

I'm going to give it away.

Why are you giving it away?

Don't you have any feelings for the things around you?

You're right.

You shouldn't have said that. You've misunderstood.

He treats Xiao Meng very well.

He would often train it too.

Yeah, he said he's going to send it to the K9 centre.

Next time, it could go on missions with us.

- That's right. - Also, it would have companions there.

It won't be lonely.

Lai Fu.

Why aren't you eating today?

Ye Zi.

- Relax, Ye Zi. - Mr Wu.

I was just passing by.

What's the matter? Tired?

I'm all right.

Are you hungry? How about dinner together?

It's okay. Thanks, Mr Wu.

Come on, now. No need to be polite with me.

I'm meeting a friend for dinner.

All right, then. You can go home when you're done.

Don't stay too late.

Come in.

Mr Meng.

You can go.

It's not that. Mr Wu from Qinghe Art Gallery called again.

He'd like to eat with you.

Okay, understood.

Thank you.

Please come again.

I haven't seen the boss recently.

He's not been here for some time. The boss is really busy.

Besides, this bar is just a side interest.

We're lucky if we get to see him a few times a month.

Why? Are you missing the boss?

Don't talk nonsense.

Glass.

I was just teasing you.

I actually hope he'd come more often. It would certainly be more fun.

Hello.

Is Dr Xu still on shift?

Dr Xu is stationed away from the hospital temporarily.

She and the joint rescue medical team are based at the fire station.

Ready!

[Forge Ahead]

Song Yan.

Help me out here. I don't know what to do with the roster.

It's your problem. You deal with it yourself.

Give me some input.

I've racked my brain but I can't find a way to roster them.

Xu Qin.

This is emergency medical information that I compiled. Take a look.

- Thanks a lot. - You're welcome.

What's the matter?

You're drinking from my cup.

Sorry about that.

I thought you poured it for me.

This one's for you.

Why are you laughing?

I really can't deal with it.

Deal with what?

Deal with you...

You are...

You know.

The members haven't had a break in a long time.

They should be allowed to go home to see their parents, wives,

children and family members.

We should give them time to go home to see family.

It's wildfire season.

Fires, traffic accidents,

and other crises happen frequently.

We get dozens of alerts each day.

There's not enough manpower.

If I can't go to the mountain, then I'll ask the mountain to come to me.

If there's no other way, we'll just invite the families to the station.

We'll just have one big get-together.

Have you thought of the expenses?

How much will it cost for tickets and accommodation?

Is the family dorm sufficient?

Besides, not all the families can come.

You have water in your bowl while mine's empty.

That'd feel worse.

Now, you two have water in your bowls and I don't.

I don't even have a bowl.

I...

I know the station's funds are limited.

If push comes to shove, I'll just pay out of my own pocket.

Stop it.

By the way,

you're finally acting

like a proper instructor.

Why did that sound weird?

Was that a compliment or what?

I have an idea.

How much will it cost?

No money involved.

Reporting, Vice Captain.

Members assembled. Please advice.

- Let's eat. - Yes, sir.

All present, right turn.

Squad One, left turn and enter.

Squad Two, left turn.

What's this? The food today is a little different.

The dishes look nice.

- Check out the food today. - What do you have?

Over there.

Stuffed bitter gourd.

How come we have special dishes today?

Check out the food.

- What a spread. - Today's our lucky day.

- They've finally added dishes. - Smells so good. Sit.

Pi Pi.

- Sweet and sour pork! - Let's eat.

The sweet and sour pork is amazing.

Tastes like my mum's.

Mr Jiang.

If I remember correctly,

the canteen chef doesn't know how to make stuffed bitter gourd.

And adding soy sauce on the bitter gourd?

This is just like how my wife makes it.

Really, try it, guys.

- Mr Jiang. - It's a specialty.

This dish stands out.

It's just like the one my grandpa used to make for me.

Sir, this Kung Pao Chicken has no sugar added.

The peanuts are half-cooked like how I like them too.

Only my father knows that.

What's going on?

Your father made it.

- My dad made it? - It's true.

It's from your dad.

Look here.

The ribs were cooked by your mum.

Your dad

made the beef stir fry.

Han Xiang.

Your wife made the stuffed bitter gourd.

Your wife did?

The fire station knows it's been a while

since the members went home.

You missed home-cooked food.

So we got in touch with your families.

We found out what your favourite dishes are.

They cooked them back in your hometowns

and delivered them by courier.

Is it good?

Yes.

It's not just food.

They also recorded messages for you.

Look at the screens.

Da Peng.

The captain and instructor said

you guys are training very hard.

They know you must be missing home,

so they asked me to cook something for you.

You liked eating ribs when you were home.

So I got your dad to buy fresh ones from the market

so I can cook it for you.

You should eat more meat after training hard.

You should bulk up a little.

You were too skinny when you were home.

By the way,

remember to use the face packs.

In the photos you sent me,

you looked like a tanned monkey.

You won't be able to find a wife if you go on looking like that.

You hear?

Dear.

I made stuffed bitter gourd for you.

That's my wife.

My wife.

Guangxi is far away from Yancheng.

I packed it with a lot of ice.

This way, it will still be good when it's delivered.

You fight fire and water all the time.

It must be tough.

Bitter gourd is good to cool you down.

Everything's well at home.

Don't you worry.

You can count on me.

Dad and Mum are doing well, too.

Tell you what.

Our boy learned to say "daddy".

- Daddy. - Heard that?

Did you hear it?

- Daddy loves you. - That's my son.

My son.

- Love you. - Love you.

Did you hear that?

Take care of yourself.

Listen to the instructor. Train hard.

Gao Yu.

I posted the cola chicken wings I made.

It won't go bad because I used an ice bag.

Look at the peaches we got this year.

They're fresh as can be.

I picked a lot,

hoping to send them to your team.

But your captain and instructor said no.

They said they couldn't accept gifts from the public.

Come on. Why is my child eating home produce considered gifts from the public?

Besides, I'm the family of a firefighter.

Next time, I'll send you the peaches.

Make sure they accept.

Share it with the other members.

Pi Pi. Those carefree parents of yours

don't worry about you nor the family.

When they go away for work, they hardly come home.

Your parents are not here,

so Grandma will cook for you.

See these sausages?

I cured them myself.

I worried I couldn't finish in time,

so I dried them using a hairdryer for the whole day yesterday.

I'm not sure if it's the taste you like from your childhood.

Lin Hao.

Your parents aren't home.

I happened to answer the call from the instructor.

He asked me to cook something for you.

Luckily, there's pickled mustard at home.

The Zhu family in the village

had butchered a pig.

A black pig.

The meat is really tasty.

Make sure you work hard at the station.

Don't worry about us at home.

Everything is fine here.

See how Grandpa is still fit and strong?

Next time, stop sending money home.

We're not lacking in anything.

When I was overseas,

every once in a while,

I'd have the urge to go to Chinatown to eat.

I realised later that

it was because I was homesick.

When you miss home,

the stomach reminds you more than the heart.

Don't you think

your idea is a little sensationalistic?

Thou you need sensation

before it can be sensationalized.

That's unlike you.

What?

You think I'm just a cold, emotionless person?

You have emotions.

Just some feelings

aren't that important to you.

I don't think you're cold either.

I still remember...

Remember what?

Tell me. What do you remember?

I still remember you being all passionate.

Our family members recorded messages and cooked for us.

Shouldn't we record something to say thanks in return?

Yes!

- Come on. - Use the wide angle.

Three, two, one.

We ate the food you cooked for us.

[The Command Center is the base]

[Command Center] 119. Go ahead.

Don't rush. Talk slowly.

You and what?

Grass...

Why are you swearing at me?

An alpaca?

What's the address?

Happy Garden, Lantian Road.

306, Unit 7, Street 50.

Got it. Please stay on the line. We'll send help right away.

[China Fire and Rescue]

Okay, don't move.

Wait.

Just wait.

Comrade, it's this house.

Comrade, you there? We're 119.

How are you?

I'm okay.

Can you move? Can you open the door?

I can't.

If you can't move, we'll have to break the door.

Okay.

- We have to break the door. - Do it then.

- Life is at stake. - Ge, get to it.

Jiang, you try.

Guys, there's nothing to see. Please disperse.

That Wu Xuan Yang.

I knew he'd get into trouble sooner or later.

He keeps a lot of weird pets in his house.

There's this horse or sheep lookalike.

That thing has a temper.

It would snap at you if you try to pet it.

There are other things in the house

like lizards, spiders, snakes, and all that.

They're in the study room. I saw them. Such scary things.

Don't you think people who keep abnormal pets

are a bit cuckoo in the head?

Either he'd get into trouble, or someone else would.

Madam, you're generalizing.

Different people have different hobbies.

Hobbies?

It's fine to call raising cats and dogs a hobby.

But cold-blooded creatures?

That must mean they're mentally unstable.

You guys don't know.

He usually doesn't leave the house.

He doesn't work.

He just stays with that bad-tempered alpaca,

and those weird lizards, spiders and snakes.

Gives me the creeps.

Because of him, the real estate prices have dropped.

There was one time.

He saw our dog and got totally spooked.

I mean, why would a guy that isn't scared of cold-blooded animals,

be afraid of my little doggy?

I bet he was trying to upset me.

Your dog is not on a leash.

Was it not leashed that time, too?

Look how small and cute it is.

It doesn't bite.

Madam, you look like a nice lady.

But you're name-calling other people.

Here's the thing. All dogs have to be on leash.

It's part of the city security regulations.

Yes, that's the rule.

Fine. I'll use a leash next time.

I didn't expect Captain Song to be the kind that admonishes with a smile.

That's his specialty.

Okay.

What's that smell? It stinks.

Are you okay? Can you move your limbs?

Are you hurt anywhere?

I'm all right.

Go and save Lu Lu first.

Lu Lu? Where is Lu Lu?

This is Lu Lu,

a very sweet girl.

- Pi Pi, Ge, Da Peng. Grab that edge. - Okay.

- Two of grab this end. - Get him out first.

- Careful. Do it slowly. - One, two, three, up.

Push it up.

Slowly now.

Careful.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Get him out first.

- Help him. - He's okay.

- Come this way. - Are you okay?

- I'm okay. - Sit down here.

Where should I put your alpaca?

Help me bring it to the room.

Lu Lu, right?

Be good. Let's go to your room.

That stinks. Why did you spit at me?

I've grabbed it. Help me up.

- One, two, three. - Are you okay?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

My goodness.

Chi.

The man seems to be unwell.

Mister, are you okay?

Da Peng. Open the curtains and window.

Circulate the air.

Calling Dr Xu. We need you here, pronto. Right away.

Got it. Let's go.

Where do you feel discomfort?

My chest.

My throat hurts too.

What about your shoulder?

Yes.

- Does it hurt here? - Yes.

- And here? - Yes.

Is it a stabbing pain or dull pain?

Stabbing pain.

Okay, relax.

Relax.

What's the blood pressure?

147 over 85.

Check this side.

Do you have any chronic conditions?

Diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease?

I have a bit of hypertension.

Did you take your medication on time?

Yes.

Do you have any drug allergies or past medical history?

No, no allergies.

Relax your leg.

75 over 43.

That's a big disparity.

- Li Nan, contact the hospital. - Okay.

Take him to do a CT scan.

Hang on a minute. Hold on, doctor.

What is wrong with me that I need a CT scan?

You could have a dissection.

What's that?

An aortic dissection. It's a serious condition. Come.

No, don't touch me. I'm totally fine.

I'll be fine after I get some sleep.

- It's just a check-up. - I'm not going to the hospital.

I know my own body. I'm not going to waste money like that.

- You can claim from health insurance. - I'm still not going.

Plus, there are so many people in my house right now. It's making me uncomfortable.

- I feel sick because of it. - Please calm down.

I am calm. Just get out of my room right now.

- Leave right now. - It's dangerous if it's a dissection.

Leave!

Get out of my house!

Right now!

What's wrong with him?

Dr Xu, are we really leaving?

I mean, we can't treat him when he's like that.

Yeah.

Mr Wu.

Mr Wu, open the door, will you?

Mr Wu!

Yang Chi!

Help me break the door down.

Are you sure, Dr Xu?

We'd get into trouble if we did so without permission. Captain would be reprimanded.

Are you questioning my professional judgment?

- No, it's just that... - What is it?

Dr Xu wants to break the door.

It's an emergency.

I want to break the door.

Wu Xuan Yang.

Wu Xuan Yang.

Feng Bei, establish venous access.

Dong Dong, prepare an oxygen bag.

- Get me a stretcher. - Yang Chi, stretcher!

It's an aortic dissection. Prepare for an enhanced CT.

- Got it. - Be careful. Do it slowly.

Keep him stable.

Let's go.

Captain, you really trust Dr Xu, huh?

I'm used to getting complaints.

No biggie.

Sure, I believe you.

- Have you notified Cardiac Surgery? - Yes.

Okay.

- How is he? - We've done an enhanced CT.

Cardiac Surgery will follow up.

- Where is Dr Xu? - He's in surgery.

He'll be done in 10 minutes.

The heart rate and blood pressure are too high.

- Prepare the drug to lower the heart rate and blood pressure. - Okay.

Sir. The patient said that he experienced continuous stabbing pain in his chest.

The lower extremity blood pressure readings didn't match.

He's also sweating profusely.

After he lost consciousness, his heart rate and blood pressure spiked.

I think it's an aortic dissection.

We've done an enhanced CT on him.

He's warded in the ER right now.

Cardiac Surgery has also been notified.

I think that's the doctor.

Doctor, hey there.

- Are you Director Xu? - That's me.

What exactly is going on?

My brother just called 119 for help.

How did he end up collapsing and sent here by 120?

Don't fret. The patient has just undergone testing.

We'll find out what's wrong soon.

Doctor. we're just a little confused.

The doctor dispatched by 119 is from this hospital, right?

Can they be trusted?

The rescue team is a joint effort between the hospital and fire rescue.

Okay, please excuse me.

Lives need saving.

You guys must have sent inexperienced houseman doctors.

- Can they do the job? - Dr Xu, you go ahead.

I'll talk to them.

Sorry, I hope you'll remain calm.

I'm the team leader. I did the initial diagnosis.

You're the one.

You made the firefighters break down the door.

I suspect she made the wrong diagnosis.

Yes.

Hi. I'm a friend of the family.

I'm a content creator.

Please understand their concerns.

They don't mean to make things difficult for you.

- I heard the joint team is... - Hello.

I'm a staff with the Yanbei Firefighting Detachment.

We are currently investigating the matter.

What happened was, the patient refused to be treated

and even chased us out.

But Dr Xu did not give up.

So she asked to break the door.

Any later,

and he could've died.

But you don't know medical science.

How are you so sure that Dr Xu and the team's diagnosis was correct?

I guess you know medical science?

Did you switch from being a doctor to a content creator?

So if anything happens,

will you bear the responsibility?

I will.

Meanwhile, you guys are delaying the treatment.

Are you going to bear the responsibility?

Everyone, please wait at the waiting area over there.

We'll notify you when the result is out.

What a dedicated knight in shining armor.

You even risked tarnishing your own reputation.

I've always had good luck.

You still have the heart to joke?

Wake up.

If something does happen, you'll be doomed.

You already know that the detachment has their eyes on you.

They plan to promote you to a higher position.

I'm not interested.

I like doing what I do in Shili Tai.

I think you're just programmed to help her.

Don't bring unrelated matters into this.

I can't believe myself.

I actually

kind of agree with you.

I always win with logic and reason.

Thanks.

Sir, we have the CT result.

So it is a dissection.

There's also intestinal ischaemia.

Sir, I treated this patient before.

He has hypertension and doesn't take his medication properly.

He also doesn't exercise much.

It's a critical condition. Get the family's consent.

Yes, sir.

- Get ready for surgery. - Okay.

Xu Qin, good job on the diagnosis.

The doctor is here.

- Wu Xuan Yang's family. - I'm here.

- How is he? - Don't worry.

We are concluding the surgery. He's out of danger.

- That's good. Thank you. - Thank goodness. Thank you.

That's great. Thank you so much.

Comrade.

We're so sorry.

It's because we were so worried and anxious.

That doctor is really good.

I shouldn't have doubted her and criticized her.

- She wouldn't be... - Dr Xu is reasonable.

She won't mind.

- Really? - We're really sorry. We shouldn't have.

We're sorry for being rude.

Next time, I hope you'll be more civil and have more patience.

Yes, we will. Definitely.

Dr Xu.

Dr Xu.

Come in.

You wanted to see me?

That joint team of yours.

It's not practical to keep doing it like this.

It will also get in the way of you people's progress.

I understand.

But, Deputy Dean Liu...

I've spoken to the Dean. It's okay to collaborate with Shili Tai.

But our work at the hospital comes first.

Right?

I want you guys back here immediately after training concludes.

Yes, sir.

Anything else?

Thank you, sir.

I need manpower.

Don't thank me.

Xu Qin.

This is for you.

What's this?

A mood lifter.

Can I open it?

Sure.

It's nothing much.

You don't need to feed it or look after it.

Just put it somewhere.

It has its own little ecosystem.

It won't die even if you leave it be.

Why did you gift me this?

I think it fits you well.

Fits me?

Are you saying

I'm cold and heartless.

So I should keep fish. Is that it?

Exactly.

All right then.

I'll return the kindness.

I'll get you a present too.

It's fine.

I don't need anything.

I didn't need these two fish either.

Take care.

Meng Qin, right?

Don't be scared.

I'm Song Yan.

I just want to be your friend.

Not interested.

If you manage to stare me down,

I'll become a good student just like you.

You can go.

See you next week.

See you next week.

Till next week, Meng Qin.

You should've just said "Competitive Scoundrel".

[Wishing Captain Song a long life. Competitive Turtle]

She's mocking you.

I know.

- Scold her back. - Oh, shut up you.

Hang in there.

[Thank you for the dog food for Xiao Meng.]

[What dog food?]

[I dare you!]

[I dare you!]

This is not for you.

Qin Qin.

Haven you eaten?

I have.

How's life at the fire station?

Not too bad.

It must be lacking conveniences.

If you need anything, take a day off.

I'll take you to the supermarket.

Got it, Yan Chen. Thanks.

- Cleaning the room? - Hello, sir.

Chi.

Guys, stop what you're doing.

I have an announcement to make.

Who wants to go to the supermarket?

Me...

Okay, okay. Cool your jets.

All wanting to slack, huh?

No, Chi.

We hardly get a chance to take a breather outside. I love you!

- Sure you do. - Chi, I love you more than Da Peng.

- Got it. - You're saying I don't love Chi?

That's enough. Stop. Listen.

You're all my dear brothers, yeah?

It's hard for me to pick.

So, I decide to...

Yang Chi. I'll send Yang Chi to go with Captain Song to complete this important mission.

Keep up the good work. See you.

He picked himself?

Chi, you're a busy guy.

Get back to cleaning.

Isn't this your favourite prawn dumplings?

Never mind.

I eat at the station canteen every day. I don't have time to cook.

I'll buy it when I'm home.

Ms Xu Xi loves drinking this.

Let's grab more.

Almost done.

- Let's check the daily necessities. - Okay. It's that way.

The oats is out of stock.

None left?

It was always on this shelf.

Maybe they couldn't replenish in time.

Maybe.

I'll get it next time.

By the way, have you considered switching specialization?

Clinical Medicine at a pharmaceutical perhaps?

Which pharmaceutical? Yunji?

Whichever is fine.

Just say the word

and you can go any time.

I'm just giving a suggestion.

My hope is for you to have a less taxing job.

I like to be busy.

It keeps me from thinking too much.

I want you to be more comfortable, happier.

I'm a grown adult.

Adult life isn't always happy and fun.

I'm not a kid anymore.

That Zhan Da Peng sure is fussy.

He wants hair conditioning oil for that mop of his.

Take this one.

Dr Xu.

What a coincidence to meet you here.
