[Once and Forever]

[Episode 11]

Didn't we agree not to hang up?

Qin Chuan!

Don't come over.

What...

What's wrong?

What if you get infected by me?

It's not that bad.

♫It's unforgettable♫

Not so hot.

♫When you get close to me at that time♫

You scared me, you know?

That was probably the closest we had ever gotten

♫It's hard to figure out, I'm bewitched♫

since we were born.

So close that suddenly I felt

that Qin Chuan was different from the past.

Wake up.

Have you gone stupid?

You can't even speak now.

How did you get in?

I climbed over the wall.

It's not like your school is in another dimension.

I found a place where no one noticed,

and I climbed over.

Why did you come in?

Because I want to see you.

Get... Get away from me.

Who let you in?

This is SARS, you know?

Listen to me now. Hurry.

Go home, wash your face and wash your hands.

Have some indigowoad root and wear a mask.

Just leave me alone.

Should I get a cigarette

and spray it on you?

I heard that it works very well.

Alright.

Stop glaring at me.

Is that necessary?

Besides,

we've talked so much.

I guess your droplets are

everywhere around the air here.

It's too late.

Qin Chuan.

Since I'm here,

why don't you buy me a meal?

[Quarantine Zone]

Why aren't you answering?

He Xiaozhou?

It rang 3 times. That means he's fine.

Thank you.

Right.

There are so few people in the canteen.

No wonder

they don't let the subcontracted hawkers

open their stalls.

No one dares to come out.

The whole school is quiet.

Has it been 5 minutes?

Take it out and show me.

Give it to me.

Let me see.

How much is it?

Thirty-seven.

It has dropped a little.

But still, it's 37 degrees Celsius.

It is a low fever, right?

Hush.

Keep your voice down.

There's someone here.

Let me ask you something.

Have you

reached that time?

What time?

The thing that happens to girls

every month.

The ovulation period.

You rascal.

I'm serious.

I searched online before.

Our body temperature

changes cyclically,

especially you girls.

It says

when you're in the ovulation period, your body temperature will...

It's none of your business.

Why are you

so unreasonable?

Have you ever

treat me as a girl?

How could you ask such a question?

Actually, I treat you too carefully

as a girl.

It's not hot anymore.

You're fine. Don't worry.

Do you feel any pain?

No.

I'm fine.

Didn't you see

I even had 2 drumsticks just now?

That's good.

Don't be afraid.

Go back and have a good sleep.

You'll be fine tomorrow morning.

Besides, even if you go to the hospital,

I'll accompany you

to be your scapegoat.

Am I that fragile?

Alright.

Go upstairs.

I'll watch you go in.

What's wrong?

I don’t want to go back.

I can't let Qianxi and Xu Lin

be exposed to this risk.

Do you want me to take you out overnight?

Who says I want to stay overnight with you?

What I mean is, take me to window no. 15

at the canteen.

I'll find a place and sleep there

for a night.

But there's no one

in the canteen at night.

It's dark.

Aren't you afraid?

What could be scarier than SARS?

Forget it.

I'm worried if you go alone.

I'll accompany you.

I'm not going back.

Hurry up.

Here.

Long usually take a nap here

when he's tired.

Look.

The blanket is ready-made.

Not bad.

Do you want milk tea?

I'll make one for you.

No, no, no.

They're going to hear us.

Then the security guards would find us.

You're right.

Where do you sleep?

It's okay.

I'll get a chair. I'll go outside.

I'll just lie down for a while.

No, it's uncomfortable to sleep like that.

Just stay here.

There's enough space for us.

Okay, then.

I'll put the chair here.

I'll make the bed wider.

Okay.

I'll give you a pillow. Here.

I don't want it.

Do you still remember

that spring bed in

Young Lady Wu's house?

Remember.

The two of us

took her bed as a trampoline

and bounced on it non-stop.

Once,

I was having fun bouncing

with bubble gum in my mouth.

You were so naughty at that time.

You pushed me secretly.

And I swallowed the bubble gum

in panic.

Yes, I was so scared that I was stunned

when you cried so loud.

Do you know that?

Well,

do you still remember who told us

that we would die if we swallow the bubble gum?

Of course, it's the adults.

They all said so.

I guess

they were afraid that we would consume too much sugar.

Then why did you

swallow a piece of bubble gum too?

I thought

that since you're dead,

my dad would beat me to death

if I went home.

So I might as well

leave with you together.

Then,

we started to lie down and wait for death.

Just like now.

After lying for a while,

I fell asleep.

And it was Xiaochuan who found us.

In the end,

nothing happened.

You're really something.

You've been so timid since you were young.

And you're afraid of death.

You haven't changed at all.

Aren't you scared?

What are you afraid of?

If I really have SARS,

you will definitely be infected.

It's fine.

At worst, we can quarantine together

at Xiaotangshan.

We can be each other's companions.

What if it can't be cured?

If you're not afraid of death,

then we can be buried together after death.

Qin Chuan,

if I die,

I would want you to live.

If I die,

I want you to die too.

Well, it's true though.

Without me,

in the future,

if you're met with the same thing again,

what should you do?

You've been senseless since you were young.

If you were kidnapped,

you would even count the money for the kidnapper.

Without me

as the guide

in your life,

you'll be so stupid that you're going to kill yourself.

It's so bad to be stupid.

It's better to be with me.

Let's go to the underworld together.

You can still bicker with me.

I'll protect you

when we're there.

Go away.

Why are you angry?

I want to sleep.

Qiaoqiao.

Don't be afraid.

No matter what happens,

I'll be with you.

Even if you are

the unluckiest in the world,

as long as you turn around,

you still have me.

Qin Chuan,

thank you.

You're right, to be honest.

If it weren't for you,

I really wouldn't know

what to do.

But I know one thing very well.

If you want to do anything,

I'll always be with you, too.

Just like when we were kids.

If it were me,

I would also find another bubble gum

and swallow it.

One more thing.

Take it as I have a fever

so bad that I've talked nonsense.

It doesn't count if we're still alive.

When I saw you today,

you were like

a hero that appeared from the sky.

You're really handsome.

At that moment,

I almost...

I almost fell in love with you.

Qin Chuan has always been by my side.

I conflated his presence with

my youth.

So that all the feelings

I had for him

were taken for granted by me.

At that time, I didn't know

that these feelings

were the seeds that

had been planted unknowingly.

And it would bloom sooner or later.

Bad news!

How could Qiaoqiao

have been out all night?

We can't wait any longer.

Why don't we call

her parents?

I'm afraid we might repeat

what happened when she sneaked to Shanghai last time.

If she turns out to be fine,

then her family will be worried for nothing.

Not to mention that we're at a sensitive time now.

What should we do, then?

Ask Wang Ying to find Yang Cheng.

Of these, 96 new cases were reported

in Beijing.

Twenty of them are medical staff.

Three deaths.

There are people dying every day.

SARS is powerful.

So terrifying.

The new cases in Tianjin...

Why are you afraid

when you're hiding at my place?

Thank you for taking me in.

By the way,

get me some indigowoad root.

I'll send some to my uncle.

You really have a lot

of relatives.

Yeah.

I have no choice since they know

I have a backer now.

You really know how to find a backer, don't you?

Hello.

What?

Qiaoqiao didn't go back to the dorm?

I don't know.

Did you two fight?

Where can she go

at a time like this?

I'll look for her.

You can't get in without a pass.

Come to me first.

Okay, I got it.

Yang Cheng,

don't blame me

for coveting your connections.

You have a girlfriend

who can make you leave right away when she needs you.

And I'm still willing to play this game with you.

If I can't even take advantage of you,

what else can I ask for?

Two new suspected cases.

Two cases.

One new suspected case

in Hunan.

Thirteen new cases in Guangdong.

I understood what you said.

Fifty-one new suspected cases.

Another suspected case in Chongqing.

Sichuan.

Qiaoqiao!

Qiaoqiao! Wake up! Qiaoqiao!

Qiaoqiao!

Qiaoqiao!

What's wrong?

Do I have a fever?

What fever?

You're cooler than me.

Come on, try again.

Where is the pass?

Someone called me

when I was on the way here,

[Pass]

saying someone in the Princess Building was quarantined.

I've asked about it, it's not Xie Qiao.

We'd better take a look.

Don't worry.

I’m thinking

if I should call Qin Chuan.

It's 36.7 degrees Celsius.

It's fine.

I told you.

Look at you.

I had nightmares

last night because of you.

Didn't you say you weren't scared?

Although

I'm all ready to die for the service,

no one would like to sacrifice so easily.

Right?

It's SARS, sis.

If I really get infected,

who can I blame?

Go away.

Wang Ying, what's wrong?

Is Xie Qiao with you?

Yes.

Okay, got it.

Wait.

Hello.

This is Yang Cheng.

Let Xie Qiao answer the phone.

He's looking for you.

Hello?

Where are you?

I...

I'm in the canteen.

The canteen?

Yes.

I had a low fever yesterday.

I was afraid that if it was SARS,

Qianxi and others might be infected.

So I stayed here

last night at the canteen.

You had a fever?

What happened? Are you okay?

Maybe I was too nervous

and I got heaty.

But I'm fine now.

I just tested. My temperature is normal.

Why is Qin Chuan there?

I...

I really didn't know

what to do.

So I called him.

Then he came over.

Xie Qiao, let me tell you.

There's nothing

that can be solved by Qin Chuan,

while I, Yang Cheng, can't.

I called you,

but you didn't answer.

I didn't see it.

Go back and pack your things now.

I'll pick you up at school.

Got it.

What's wrong with your boyfriend?

They've been friends since kids

and they grew up together.

Why would you care about it

when I'm not minding it?

Xie Qiao is my girlfriend after all.

Well, your girlfriend

is being quarantined at school now.

And you have another girlfriend at home.

I called the other day,

and someone beside asked you what you drank.

Who is she?

Ren Siyu.

It's her again？

Bro, it's SARS now.

She's an outlander,

and she asked me for help as she had no place to stay.

I can't just shoo her away

into the street, right?

You don't have to explain to me.

If you really

care about Xie Qiao,

you shouldn't have done this.

Wang Ying,

we grew up together too.

Don't you know me?

I've been treating Xie Qiao well enough.

It's because I know you too well.

That's why I think

that Xie Qiao is a fool now.

If it were me, I would never

fall in love with you.

The sleep last night

got my back hurt and my leg cramped.

Why are you spacing out?

What?

Are you really afraid

that Yang will be mad at you?

It's okay. Call him over.

I'll explain to him.

No.

Then what are you thinking about?

I'm wondering,

when life and death are at stake,

why the first person that came to mind

was Qin Chuan

instead of Yang Cheng.

You look, look...

Why are you looking at me like that?

There's an eye booger.

Where is it?

You should go home early.

I guess

Uncle Qin and Aunt Yao are worried sick.

It's okay.

I've talked to them.

I told them

I came to see you.

But the school was closed.

And I was locked inside.

They won't blame me.

I'm leaving, then.

Okay, bye.

You're going to climb over the fence?

This little fence

can't beat me.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

Qin Chuan.

Thank you.

For what?

Go back quickly.

[Let's be united and work together to fight against SARS.]

Where is my car?

Wang Ying.

Yang Cheng!

Yang Cheng had a car accident.

Wang Ying.

How is he? Is he alright?

The driver broke a rib.

He's fine.

Just a mild concussion.

He’s currently under observation in the Third Hospital.

If there's no aftermath, he'll be fine.

How about

you take me to see him?

His mother is here.

If you're there,

how should I introduce you?

Just say we're classmates.

What kind of classmate

would come to the hospital during SARS?

Do you think all the classmates are like Qin Chuan?

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize to me.

I'm fine.

The one lying in the hospital

is the one who's worried.

Hello, Qiaoqiao.

Are you home?

Just arrived.

Hello, it's me.

Shouldn't you

take it easy?

Well, Qiaoqiao

was having an emergency before.

No matter how urgent it is,

she has a boyfriend.

You mean Yang?

I mean,

he didn't even answer the phone.

Do you think she can count on him?

Even if he knows,

will he accompany Qiaoqiao?

How do you know

he won't?

Let me tell you.

Cheng Yang had an accident on the way to pick up

Xie Qiao and had a mild concussion now.

He's still lying in the hospital.

You should control yourself.

I'm hanging up. Bye.

If I could control myself,

I would've just

stayed abroad.

Did you two fight?

Do you think

I'm jealous of you?

No.

It's because

you seem a little unhappy.

You and Qin Chuan are childhood friends.

Yang Cheng's and my family have been friends for generations.

How can I not be worried

when I see him injured?

Yang Cheng was going to give it to you.

Thank you.

Do you want to go upstairs

and have some water?

No.

I need to go to the hospital.

Then, if Yang Cheng's mom

leaves later,

please let me know.

I'll call him.

Okay.

I know Yang Cheng is not the kind of

boyfriend who can make you feel secure.

But he got hurt because of you this time.

You know he hates

such dramatic stories the most.

I guess this is the first time in his life he has experienced it.

Have a spoon of protein powder every day,

mix it with milk.

It will enhance your immunity.

What you gave me is more than enough.

I thank you on behalf of my family.

Which ward are you in?

I'll visit you tomorrow.

No need.

It's nothing serious.

It's not a good thing

to be in the hospital now.

Don't come here.

You were worried last night.

Rest early.

Bye.

You know the hospital

is not a good place,

yet you've been calling me to come here?

Aren't you one of us?

But I didn't expect

you could do this.

During SARS,

in order to pick up

your girlfriend who was quarantined at school,

you had a rear-end collision

and was hit into a mild concussion.

It can be considered an interesting chapter

in your love history.

How can I ignore Xie Qiao?

She is my girlfriend.

I can’t lose my face

to Qin Chuan.

Okay, you've improved.

You've learned to be responsible about your girlfriend.

So I assume you've learned to take responsibility.

Don't tell me

that word.

It makes me nervous hearing it.

[Incoming call from Ren Siyu]

Forget what I said.

One.

Two.

Three.

It ranged 4 times. It's not Xiaozhou. I'll answer it.

Hello.

Hello, Xu Lin.

Qiaoqiao?

I have indigowoad root here.

Tell me if you need anything.

I'll send it to you.

It's okay, you don't have to.

Wang Ying also gave us

the pass.

Alright, stop talking.

Qianxi is waiting for a call.

She can't afford to miss it

because you're on the line.

Any news about Xiaochuan?

Not yet.

Bye.

[Xiao Qianxi]

Hurry up.

[Quarantine Zone]

Hurry up. There's another patient.

Nurse.

My call.

It is reported that

there are 3 new SARS cases

from People's Hospital.

One of them

came from the Emergency Room

of People's Hospital.

This patient

has been observed in the ER.

Those who stayed together with him,

Xu Lin.

their condition...

Where is our pass?

Why do you need it?

Where is it?

Sir.

Sir.

[Beijing People's Hospital]

[Unite to fight SARS.]

Xiaozhou.

He Xiaozhou.

He Xiaozhou.

He Xiaozhou.

Qianxi.

Xiaozhou.

Why are you here so late?

I didn't receive

your call that rings 3 times.

Are you okay?

The head nurse must be too busy.

She forgot.

I'm fine.

That's good.

I saw that there are new cases

in People's Hospital.

And I haven't heard from you.

You scared me.

Did you sneak out?

Go back quickly.

It's not safe now.

I...

I miss you so much.

♫Maybe what I can't get♫

♫Is the most precious♫

♫Who is absurd and unrepentant♫

I miss you too.

♫Who'd be willing to see the ending of the story♫

♫Will♫

Wait for me.

♫The burning aftertaste♫

Stay safe.

This is the most impulsive,

♫Be found one day♫

most "un-Qianxi" thing she has ever done.

That night,

she ran 500 meters,

♫Goodbye♫

and take an 1 hour bus

without a mask.

♫Love♫

She rushed to the place

[Combating SARS.]

that is most concentrated with SARS patients

♫Goodbye♫

with the highest risk of infection.

♫You're still there one day ♫

[May 9, 2003, SARS cases in Beijing are decreasing significantly.]

On May 9, Beijing time.

In Beijing,

on the fifth press conference

of the Joint Working Team

that prevents and controls SARS,

experts stated

that the rise of SARS in Beijing

has been controlled effectively.

The epidemic

is starting to show signs of declining.

The rise

in the number of SARS cases

for over 10 days

has decreased to

a relatively low level.

Chuan.

Are you hurt?

I'm fine, aunt.

Why are you standing here?

Come on in. Come.

Where did you hurt?

I'm fine.

[Fuqiang Flour]

Why did you bring

so many rice and noodles?

Wasn't there a rumor to close down the city before?

People were looting the supermarket.

My dad was afraid,

so he stored a warehouse of food

that was 3 years' worth for my family.

So my mom asked me to bring it here.

Grandma.

This Wei Hong...

There's SARS outside,

yet they still asked you to come here.

It's okay. I came here by car.

But you came at the right time.

I'll pack some indigowoad root for you.

Take it back to your mom and dad.

Here, here.

Right.

Take it.

It's not easy to buy.

Grandma, you should keep it.

It's okay.

It's okay, there's more.

Let me tell you.

I still have things for you.

Qiaoqiao's classmate

brought us a lot.

Yang Cheng is so generous.

Who is Yang Cheng?

Isn't it from Wang Ying?

Wang Ying is a girl.

I can tell Yang Cheng is a boy by the name.

Who gave it actually?

It's, it's, it's...

It's from Wang Ying.

Mom, you saw it, right?

She sent me back.

Chuan,

tell me.

I...

Yang, Yang...

[Fight the challenge together.]

Why did you

tell my mom everything?

That's your mom, okay?

I've been afraid of your mother since I was a kid.

You know that

my legs get weak when she glares at me.

I can't do anything about my physiological response.

I'm done.

After sending you home,

they're going to lecture me in turns

when I get back.

What happened?

Your mom did it for your own good.

You've grown up now.

Where have you been?

You should be

hiding it from them.

You have to make some achievements.

It's not easy to raise you.

Why must you let them

keep their eyes on you every day?

Let me ask you.

Don't your family know

about you and Yang?

Do your parents know

about you and Wang Ying?

That's because

my mother is going to

beat me up if she finds out.

Just confess when you need to.

What can happen?

In my opinion,

Yang

did well this time.

After all,

he got hurt because of you.

That's good, he has grown up.

What happened to your leg?

Nothing.

I sprained my ankle.

You should go back now.

You can avoid them for days,

but not forever.

Actually, I sprained my ankle

because of Qiaoqiao too.

But compared to Yang Cheng's mild concussion,

I don't think

it is worth mentioning.

And compared to Yang Cheng,

who is her boyfriend,

our relationship

is even less important.

You're back.

Stop!

You've grown up now.

It's not a big deal to be in a relationship.

It is not

something to be ashamed about.

But I have to remind you

that you should know what to do.

Never ever do

irrational things.

Girls should protect themselves.

Right.

We are not feudal parents.

You have to listen to your mom and your aunt about this.

Come here.

Sit here.

Tell us.

When did it start?

Come here.

So I had no choice.

I can only tell them everything.

It's fine.

My mom heard you got hurt.

She went to the supermarket with my grandma

and bought a lot of things.

She asked me to take them to visit you tomorrow.

Which ward are you in?

Can I go in the afternoon?

I'm going home today.

Then I'll find you at the apartment.

No.

I'm at my parents' house.

You can just come.

But your family is there.

I don't think it's a good idea.

I can tell my parents

that you are my girlfriend.

That's nothing.

That's it.

I'll ask the driver to pick you up tomorrow.

Coming.

Hello, aunt.

Sorry to bother you.

This is Aunt Wang.

Have a seat.

Change your shoes.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Go in.

Thank you, aunt.

I can do it myself.

It's okay. Sit down.

Your look pretty

in your scarf.

What's pretty about it?

It's to cover up the ugly.

You're Yang Cheng's classmate, right?

But we're not in the same department.

Mom.

She's my girlfriend.

Thank you for visiting Yang Cheng.

He rarely brings his classmates back.

I've made you some tea.

Enjoy yourselves.

Thank you, aunt.

Goodbye, aunt.

Why are you laughing?

Your reaction is so funny.

Have you never been to your classmate's house when you were a kid?

That's different.

This is my first time

meeting other people's parents

as a girlfriend.

Just meet a few more times, then you'll get used to it.

I commented on

your mom's scarf just now.

Is she unhappy

because I talked too much?

No.

She's telling the truth.

She cut her wrist before,

so she covered her wound with that.

What?

They divorced when I was young.

It was quite a fight.

Why?

Their personalities are incompatible, I guess.

Well,

did they meet on a blind date?

No.

My mom is an artist.

And she admired my dad a lot at that time.

So the two of them

got married in no time.

But later they found

that you can't form

a perfect marriage

simply with admiration and love.

My mom loves art.

My dad is passionate about work.

So there's nothing

to talk about between the two of them.

It's because of the lack of communication, then.

As long as they still love each other,

everything will be fine.

See, it's all over now.

That's just the result after all the considerations.

Do you really think

that everything can be solved with love?

My mom loves my dad.

She loves him so much that she has tried everything

in the hope of drawing his attention.

She even stabbed herself on her wrist.

And that's love, too.

Can you stand it?

Maybe

she really didn't know

what to do anymore.

That's why I hate everything that happens

in the name of love.

The presence of love doesn't decide

how long a couple will stay together.

Instead, it's about comfort.

Then what about us?

Aren't we

good?

Yang Cheng didn't answer my question.

But I already know

that we have

different answers about love.
