[Once and Forever]

[Episode 34]

You must take care of yourself

and come back when you are cured.

I'll still be your assistant.

Silly girl.

Stop crying.

Why would I come back?

All these years,

I'm the most happy and satisfied one.

How is it?

Is it okay to put it here?

Okay.

Are you tired?

Do you want to take a rest on the bed?

Xiaozhou.

The conversation we had just now,

was once in my dream.

Exactly the same.

You may not believe it,

but what I have been looking forward to the most

was living this kind of life

with you.

I always thought it was just a matter of time,

but I never imagined it would be this late,

almost like the final chapter of a novel.

Qianxi.

I believe it.

Because I have always been awake,

and always been dreaming.

In the past...

and in the future,

I always want to live like this.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

I see you are getting some sunlight for the baby.

The baby will grow

just as beautiful as the mother.

Thanks.

I envy you

young couple.

When I was pregnant with my first child,

my husband

treated me just this nicely.

By the time I had my third child,

he was asking me to pour him water.

Every day is a blessing.

Enjoy every minute.

We do have to enjoy every day.

I don't know how long I can stay with him.

Will he remember me?

Of course he will.

We will take the baby with us

and visit all the places

we marked on the globe.

Okay.

Let's visit all the places.

To Hawaii, to Prowannce,

to Iceland. And to Japan.

Then France.

I heard that you, Mr. Yang,

have a dinner gathering tonight.

Even you know about this.

Of course I know.

Well,

where are you going to eat?

Do you think I'll tell you?

Fine.

I don't care at all.

However,

You don't need me to remind you

about what to pay attention to, do you?

Do you think that

if you were to tell me,

I would automatically pay attention?

President Yang.

President Qin.

Shall we start?

Qiaoqiao,

you haven't changed a bit.

Neither have you.

Where do you think

they went to eat,

and what are they eating?

It has been

40 minutes.

The dishes should be all served by now.

Boss,

these are not important.

Yes.

The most important thing

is what they are talking about right now.

What matters is not the moment,

is what they are going to do next.

What are they going to do?

Think about it.

Why did Yang Cheng want to see Qiaoqiao?

He said that he wanted to catch up on old times.

They broke up 6 years ago.

We haven't heard from him.

And he suddenly showed up to catch up on old times?

Right.

What does he

want to do?

I think

it was your fault.

My fault?

Think about it.

If you hadn't shown up,

Yang Cheng wouldn't

have remembered Qiaoqiao at all

these 6 years.

But now,

as his ex-girlfriend's current boyfriend,

you went to him

with an investment plan,

he must be really unhappy.

So, what you mean is that

he wants to set obstacles for me, right?

Well, that's not a problem.

If he doesn't want to invest in me,

I can always find someone else.

I'll start from scratch,

and I don't need him anymore.

I'll find someone else to invest in me.

I'm okay with it.

I think you might be

oversimplifying this matter.

What if Yang Cheng wants to

vent all the new and old grudges

built up over these years at once?

What do you mean?

For example,

using the investment as leverage to force Qiaoqiao

to comply?

Wait.

You are so good at making up stories.

Boss, it's not that serious.

Why not?

Otherwise, why would he

want to meet Qiaoqiao at this time?

But...

but Qiaoqiao will...

will not say yes, right?

This shows that you don't understand women at all.

Women are naturally born

with a spirit of sacrifice when it comes to love.

She knows how important

this matter is to Qin Chuan.

Right? What if

she were to close her eyes,

grit her teeth, and stomp her foot,

showing her determination?

I'll go find them.

Boss,

calm down!

We don't even know

where they went to eat.

Where can you find them?

I'll call Qiaoqiao.

[Qin Chuan]

I didn’t expect you to be so resolute.

You even deleted my phone number.

I didn't.

So why didn't you know who I was

when you answered my call?

I've never changed

my phone number.

Qin Chuan

is so petty.

But I have to say, the two of you

are considered to have a karmic fate.

In such a big city like Beijing,

how is it that the two people who least wanted to see each other

coincidentally encountered one another?

Actually, when I received

this project,

I was quite surprised,

and it made me feel quite pleased.

I thought to myself,

"Finally, this guy is in my hands."

So whether this money gets invested or not,

it's up to me.

Did you came to me

just because of

this matter?

What?

Are you trying to use this as a means to coerce me into getting back together?

What?

Are you saying that,

besides you,

I can't find any other girlfriends?

Of course not.

I'm about to go abroad soon

for a project

that will be listed on NASDAQ.

It will take about

half a year or more.

I just thought that

since I'm leaving,

I should meet up with you

and have a chat before I go.

If you leave,

what about

the investment about Qin Chuan?

Your mind is full of him.

I just

don't want your company

to miss out

on a good investment opportunity.

Besides,

Qin Chuan actually has some capabilities.

Otherwise,

you wouldn't always be finding fault with him.

Ordinary people wouldn't be on your blacklist,

would they?

You don't need to keep flattering me.

I won't bother

with this matter of his anymore.

Why?

Because our company has decided

to lead the Series A funding round.

Really?

That's so great!

Yang Cheng, a toast to you.

[Jianbing Guru]

Qiaoqiao hung up on me.

Did you already know about

Wang Ying's return to China?

We met a few days ago.

It seems like she is still keeping in touch with friends,

and the one she's not in touch with is just me.

You came to me

because of Wang Ying, didn't you?

Not really.

Anyway, I came to see you

because of Wang Ying.

Do you know

why Wang Ying

hasn't been in contact with you?

She has always liked you,

but she felt she had crossed a boundary.

You used to be in the same social circle,

and she kept

her feelings hidden deeply,

maintaining a safe distance from you.

But now,

it seems she has completely

withdrawn from that circle,

and she can no longer hide her emotions.

She said that

she and you

will never be together,

so she won't contact you

anymore.

I know what you said just now

about that social circle.

I can't say it doesn't exist.

But after all,

things in this world

are divided into good and bad,

not to mention people.

There's always a hierarchy.

So, it might be right for us

not to contact each other

and maintain a safe distance.

It's good for both of us, isn't it?

Then why did you come to me

to ask about Wang Ying?

If she wants to know

whether I'm doing well or not,

it's easy.

As long as I'm not in the news,

it's unlikely that I'm not doing well.

But if I want to know

whether she's doing well or not,

it's not that simple.

One more question.

Why do you

want to know how she's doing?

Wang Ying is different

from all the other girls to me.

I don't even know how to describe

the feelings I have for her.

Maybe my feelings for her

are much more complicated than what I have for you.

You see,

you can't even explain it clearly yourself,

so I can't

make the judgment for you either.

But if you want to know

how someone is doing,

the best way

is to personally find her,

see her with your own eyes,

and ask her in person.

I have a different view than you do.

I believe that

no matter what kind of feelings,

there is no safe distance.

Is that why

you broke up with me back then?

Yes.

Think about it.

Wang Ying hasn't changed

her phone number either.

I'm back.

Qiaoqiao.

Qiaoqiao!

Are you alright, Qiaoqiao?

I... I'm fine.

I have good news for you.

Yang Cheng has decided to invest in you.

Really?

Why would I lie to you?

He said it himself.

I knew it.

I knew it.

You guessed it, right?

Of course I guessed it!

Xie Qiao,

how could you do such a stupid thing?

What stupid thing did I do?

For me,

you and Yang Cheng...

You...

I'll kill him.

Where is my knife?

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Wait a minute!

What did you mean?

Do you think

for the sake of raising investment for you,

I did it with Yang Cheng?

Didn't you?

Are you crazy?

I'm not that low!

So why would Yang Cheng...

Didn't you say your company

had potential?

Do you think everyone is stupid?

What are you thinking?

No.

It was Psychic Lu.

She said that.

I'm not that...

Lu Qianran?

That was just a play in my mind.

Any resemblance

is purely coincidental.

[Closed]

Qin Chuan, you didn't dare not to believe me?

Don't get physical! Please don't!

Don't hit me!

Stop it!

[Jianbing Guru]

But if you want to know

how someone is doing,

the best way

is to personally find her,

see her with your own eyes,

and ask her in person.

Have a bite.

Come on.

Throw up. Come on.

Are you okay?

Lie down with me.

Let's watch a movie together.

Okay.

You talk of yourself,

Mr. Rochester?

Yes.

We are each responsible

to God

for our

actions.

Don't you think if I married her,

she could regenerate me with a vengeance?

Since you ask me, sir,

no, I do not.

I don't think she's for you.

And who is for me then?

Have you seen someone

you could recommend?

You have grown attached to Thornileld.

I have been happy here.

Would it grieve you to leave it?

Leave it?

Jane.

Let me go.

Wait.

Let me go.

Why do you confide in me like this?

You think that because I'm poor and plain,

I have no feelings?

I promise you,

if God had gifted me

with wealth and beauty,

I should make it

as hard for you to leave me now

as it is for me to leave you.

Jane.

Let me go, sir.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I...

love you.

Qianxi.

Qianxi!

Qianxi!

HR 56.

BP 57, GA 35.

Stage 4

cancer?

Yes.

Prepare for emergency

cesarean section surgery.

Okay.

Qianxi.

Xiaozhou.

Qianxi, I'm here.

What do you want to say?

Where is the baby?

The baby is doing very well.

She's a beautiful little girl,

especially resembling you.

Keep her company...

We will accompany her

and go to many, many places together.

I don't have enough time to accompany her.

Xiaozhou,

in this lifetime,

I have no regrets.

But in the next lifetime,

I absolutely,

absolutely won't do it again.

I know.

I know.

He Xiaozhou...

I...

I...

Qianxi.

Qianxi!

Qianxi!

Qianxi!

Qianxi!

Qianxi!

Qianxi!

Six of diamonds!

Thank you.

My name is Xiao Qianxi.

He Xiaozhou.

What does okay mean?

Is it sending me flowers okay

or becoming my boyfriend okay?

Qianxi, can you be my girlfriend?

The tombstone will be inscribed like this:

These two people died in happiness.

We have a long life to go.

Please don't give up.

During our New Year celebration,

there is an abundance of delicious food.

We make our own cured meats and sausages,

and dishes like taro chicken, ginger-flavored duck, and savory braised pork.

If my mom's condition

can improve a little,

I will go back with you.

Qianxi!

It's so late, why did you come?

Xiaozhou!

I miss you so much!

My clothes smell like disinfectant.

Xiaozhou.

It's me. I'm here.

This is not a dream.

I'll take you to Edinburg,

to Florence!

And Provence.

Shall we go to Greece too?

I'll take you

to wherever you want to go.

Why do we work hard to earn money?

It's to be with the person we love

and live a good life together.

I don't want money

to be a constant problem for us.

I hope that

our time apart is shorter and our happiness lasts longer.

Even if it's just one day earlier,

I'm willing

to strive for it.

Once I become stronger,

we will never be apart again.

In the future, whoever earns money

will save it,

and when we have enough,

we'll buy a house together.

This is truly a journey

that is both challenging and joyful.

I'm willing to accompany you all the way,

to walk the most difficult and open path together.

Life

doesn't have a chance for a redo.

[Xiaozhou]

I have no regrets,

and I hope you feel the same way.

The year of 2012

is not the end of the world,

but the end of Qianxi.

[She is a thousand years of happiness, and a thousand years of loneliness.]

Xu Lin is true to her word.

This article is written really well.

Recently,

the music world lost a giant star,

Xiao Qianxi, who passed away

at the age of 30 in the United Kingdom

due to stomach cancer.

In her short life,

she left us

with many popular works.

[Breaking News: Renowned Music Icon Xiao Qianxi Passed Away in the UK Due to Stomach Cancer]

Now,

I dedicate to all the listeners

a song by Xiao Qianxi

titled I Finally Lost You.

Let's come together to cherish the memory

of this young legend in the music industry.

♫When everyone♫

♫Left me♫

♫You advised me to wait patiently♫

♫And spent the longest winter with me♫

♫So forgiving♫

♫When everyone was close to me♫

♫You wanted me to be quiet and calm♫

♫You seem to know that I have a heart that will never be quiet♫

♫A heart that is easily moved ♫

♫I’ve finally got thousands of hands dancing in front of me♫

Miss Lin. Miss Lin. Miss Lin.

May I interview you for a few moments?

Miss Lin.

Can I ask you a few questions?

♫I’ve finally got thousands of enthusiastic smiles♫

Miss Lin.

I debuted in the same year as Qianxi.

♫I’ve finally got the crowd to be impressed♫

We lived in the same dormitory.

♫But I forgot to tell you that you've always been in my heart♫

I have visited her hometown.

As the old saying goes, "As you finish your song, I step onto the stage."

All these years...

Now that I think about it,

♫I finally lost you♫

Qianxi really wasted her life

getting entangled with these people for so long.

♫In the crush♫

So, I've decided to leave

the entertainment industry.

This article about Qianxi,

will be my last major piece.

♫I finally lost you♫

From now on, I'll stop writing.

Then, is your publicity company closing down?

♫When I felt glorious for the first time in my life♫

No,

I'm stepping back to plan behind the scenes.

WeChat is launching a public account platform,

♫I finally lost you♫

and I'm preparing to register for the first batch.

Then I'll be the first one to follow you.

♫In the crush♫

♫I finally lost you♫

♫When I felt glorious for the first time in my life♫

♫ When the applause gushed like a tide ♫

♫I saw sorrowful tears in your eyes ♫

Mr. Chen, my condolences.

Actually, you can

stand here today.

The position

never matters to me.

My condolences.

Do you know about

the recent news of the celebrity

who passed away?

Yes.

She's our senior.

I have

read a report about her before.

It was said that

she scored 110 on the TOEFL in one attempt that year.

That impressive?

Yes.

What was her name again?

Xiao Qianxi.

It was because her boyfriend

watched The Big Bang Theory

without subtitles with her twice that year.

I'll watch it with you three times.

You wish!

Xiaochuan.

Hold this for me.

Here.

Let's go.

Okay.

Hello,

it was Friends.

Xiao Qianxi and her boyfriend

watched Friends.

Thank you.

[One thousand years of happiness]

Do you think it's strange or not?

You guys

can come and go as you please,

but just now when I was buying a bottle of beer,

the security guard questioned me for a long time.

He was looking at me as if I were a thief,

and insisting that I'm some kind of troublemaker or a person of questionable background.

Seriously, it's not that I'm trying to belittle you,

but your demeanor has absolutely nothing to do

with the refined elegance of Beiqing University.

What are you talking about?

I had been here

for many years.

Even if you had something to do with the canteen,

do you think you have

any other relationship

with Beiqing University?

A family member of a student.

At least I can be considered as a family member.

Right, Qiaoqiao?

Yes.

We have to admit

that we've all grown older.

The Naruto

I used to binge-watch all night,

now I've abandoned the series.

I simply can't binge-watch like before.

Exactly.

I've even started taking collagen supplements.

In my shopping cart,

there are all kinds of health products

and food,

including your snacks.

They taste pretty good!

In my shopping cart,

there are all kinds of household products.

In my shopping cart,

there are all kinds of baby products.

[One thousand years of happiness]

In the past,

I always felt that

I couldn't live without a computer in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly,

now everything can be done

with just a smartphone.

Yeah.

Let me tell you,

many of the sports stars

we used to like have retired now.

And these new celebrities,

there are many

I don't recognize.

I want to ask you,

which is the best

South Korean boy band?

Don't say a word!

Super Junior!

Big Bang.

How did you know?

Of course I know.

To please your sister.

Xiao Yu has cheated me out

of so many

concert tickets.

These young people nowadays

are really different from us in the past.

They are so devoted to those idols

that they don't care about anything else.

I've heard a human anthropologist

from Oxford University

say that people always think

the songs,

movies, snacks,

and friends from their youth

are the best.

It's because during our youth,

all the experiences

are the most vibrant,

and they overshadow everything

that comes later.

The things that happen between the ages

of 15 and 30

will be remembered for a lifetime.

So,

each of us

has precious memories

because we all were...

once young.

-Once young. -Once young.

Once young.

Come.

How about from now on,

every year at this moment,

we gather here once

to commemorate Qianxi?

There's no chance.

I heard the Princess Building is going to be demolished.

Really?

It feels like...

our old nest

is about to be exposed.

Yeah.

It doesn't have to be every year,

and doesn't have to be here.

Will any of us

forget her?

To Qianxi.

To Qianxi.

To each of us.

A mysterious buyer

insists on acquiring the "Nirvana Statue"

and says that we can set the price as we wish.

This doesn't seem like

a professional art collector.

Yes.

It seems like the style of a coal mine owner,

but you'll know when you see him

in person.

He definitely doesn't look like a nouveau riche.

Is he still here?

Yes.

He insists on seeing you.

Me?

Over there.

How did you find me?

It's not difficult, is it?

You're right.

I met Xie Qiao before.

She told me

that the best way

to find out if someone is doing well

is to go

and see her directly.

That's her style.

I spent almost half a year in the UK,

and when I came back, I couldn't help but wonder

how Wang Ying was doing.

So, I decided to visit.

Secretary Wang said

you looked in good spirits,

and after seeing you,

I find it's true.

Do you know what is the most powerful ability

of a person?

Adaptability.

Everything is changing,

and everything depends on change.

The result of change

is that it has been three years,

and we still haven't met in person.

But it hasn't affected

our lives, right?

Yang Cheng,

look around you,

where do you think

I should be by your side?

You see,

my choice was right.

Actually, it's not just you

who has been making choices between us.

Wang Ying,

maybe I also had a choice.

Do you remember back in middle school

when I bought a bike?

One day, I wanted to take you

and asked if you wanted to sit on the back seat

or the crossbar.

I sat on the back seat.

Yes.

But what you didn't know

is that those friends were just joking privately.

They said sitting on the back seat

meant you were a close friend,

and sitting on the crossbar

meant you were my girlfriend.

I don't even know

why I insisted on taking you that day.

But what if you

had sat on the crossbar that day?

Yingying,

after you left London,

I went to look for you.

And?

If you found me that day,

what would you do?

I...

You don't know either, right?

I've never thought about that.

Becoming a couple?

Do you love me?

You don't even know what love is.

But you already know

that I didn't see you as a friend.

I love you.

So how should we interact with each other?

Moreover,

no matter in what kind of relationship

we interact, it's not suitable.

We have crossed the line.

In the past,

I liked your confused look.

It was actually

a cute honesty.

Only those who are doing well in life,

like you now, can afford to be confused.

When I was in your place back then,

life was clear

and wide open,

and I had the privilege to be confused.

But when the road becomes narrow

and there are no choices left,

there's no room for confusion anymore.

That's why I chose to leave,

because I know

even if you found me,

nothing would happen between us.

Is this the only way between us?

What else can we do?

Yang Cheng,

there might be some things

you'll never understand in this lifetime.

But it's okay,

it doesn't matter.

I'd rather you not understand,

because that means you're still

living the same kind of life

as now.

I've walked down

from the top to the bottom,

but I still hope that

you'll always be there,

living steadily,

being admired and envied by others.

Never have to suffer like this,

never endure such hardships,

even if, in the end,

you don't understand anything at all.

Yingying.

Are you sure you want to buy the painting?

Yes.

What about the price?

You know I never bargain.

Sure, I will have someone

deliver the painting to your residence.

I know the address.

I will head back to work now.

Thank you for your patronage,

Mr. Yang.

We were all once young,

may you always remain youthful.
