Shuangjiao.

You're awake? I'll go and get the doctor.

Shuangjiao.

Don't go.

Okay.

I won't leave.

I'll never leave you again.

Who was it that said she could be independent

and asked me not to worry?

Wasn't it you who let me go first?

I'm sorry.

I was too willful.

What happened

had nothing to do with you.

Why are you apologizing?

I should be the one apologizing.

When we were together,

I said I would protect you.

Yet I ended up making you cry so much.

Don't cry.

Give me one more chance.

I'll dedicate my life

to taking care of you.

Okay.

Forever.

PLEASE RING THE BELL

Hello.

Hi.

Thank you.

Mr. Gu.

I'm here today

to talk to you about Gu Renqi.

As his grandpa,

I'm sure you also want him to recover as soon as possible.

The doctor said the cause of his mysophobia

is likely due to his childhood trauma.

And the person who traumatized him…

What are you trying to say?

I hope you can help him find closure.

I've always been strict with him since he was a kid.

It's for his own good.

But this is exactly what caused a misunderstanding between you two.

If this misunderstanding can be resolved, it will be good for you and Gu Renqi.

But Renqi's misunderstanding about me

is too deep.

There's no way we can resolve this.

Of course there is.

He's very strict with himself trying to meet your standards.

Actually, he is better than his peers.

You may not know this,

but all this time,

all he ever wanted

was your acknowledgment.

Please give some thought to what I said.

You're back?

Who gave you flowers?

These are for you.

Hu You and Wu Yu bought these especially for you.

Everyone hopes you will recover quickly

and return to work as soon as possible.

I'll get a vase for the flowers.

Do you need help?

No, you'll only mess things up.

By the way, your birthday is coming up.

What present do you want?

I don't celebrate birthdays.

I feel my birthday is no different from the other 364 days.

"Don't celebrate birthdays"? Haven't you ever celebrated your birthday?

Even as a kid?

Qiqi! Come here.

Let's blow the candles out and make a wish.

Qiqi.

Why are you sitting here?

I want to celebrate my birthday when Grandpa comes back.

When is Grandpa coming back?

Your grandpa is busy with work. He'll be home late.

Look. Your mom sent this from overseas just for you.

Did Grandpa forget what day today is?

That's not true.

I did celebrate birthdays.

When I was a kid, I loved celebrating my birthday.

My parents would make me delicious food.

There were also birthday presents and cake.

My friends would also wish me a happy birthday.

On my birthday,

I get presents too.

Also, there will be a big cake.

But we can eat cake even if it's not your birthday.

We can give gifts even if it's not your birthday.

That's why I didn't think it was special.

Don't say that.

No. I love celebrating people's birthdays.

You can't take that away from me.

Why don't I celebrate your birthday this year?

All this time,

because of my mysophobia,

everyone had to keep their distance from me.

Even the people I love

couldn't hold my hand

or give me a hug.

I couldn't do what normal people do, even if it was easy.

But I couldn't do it.

Luckily,

I have you by my side.

However,

it's not too late.

We still have a lot of time together.

Please share your past with me.

I don't want to miss any moment with you in it.

How are you going to do that?

On your birthday, I would like to visit the place where you used to live

when you were young.

I want to get to know you better

and get closer to you.

I want to know how you lived through all those years

before I showed up.

I want to know

how you looked when you were young.

What did you like back then?

What were your dreams?

I think I will get to know you better

after knowing your past.

Dad, let's eat.

Why are we having meals out here?

The weather is great today.

Also, I cooked this meal myself.

I prefer strong flavors. Didn't you know?

These look so plain.

Do I look like a rabbit?

The doctor said

you should eat a plain diet.

Oily and salty foods

are not good for you at all.

It's for your own good.

Don't lecture me.

It doesn't matter what I eat.

What matters is what I want to eat.

Go, get me an alcoholic drink.

Without an alcoholic drink, this meal will be even more tasteless.

What did you give me to drink?

Why are you overreacting?

It's juice made with celery, bitter melon, and okra.

It's better than medicine.

It lowers blood pressure, blood sugar level, and blood lipid level.

You should drink this sort of vegetable juice every day.

It's good for you.

Don't design a diet for me.

If I take another sip,

those three levels will go down to zero.

I'm not drinking this.

Take it away.

If you truly care for me,

then make me something I love to eat.

Do you also think

it is uncomfortable to follow the will of others?

What do you mean?

You also often ask Renqi to do things

that you think are good for him.

He can't do this and can't do that.

Have you thought about his feelings?

So the meal and the lecture

were all for your son.

Okay. All right.

I'll eat.

It's good.

Cabbage. I love it.

It's good.

Where are you going?

I'm going to the restroom.

Go ahead.

Why don't we go together?

-You're crazy. -I'm just kidding.

EMAIL: JUNJIE, ABOUT THE STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM…

What's wrong?

I missed you.

I only went to the restroom.

I miss you even when you go to the restroom.

If you go abroad,

I'm going to miss you so much.

I won't go abroad.

It's an exchange program at the school. My teacher recommended it.

He mentioned it once.

I haven't accepted it yet.

Actually, you should go abroad.

You should study and gain more experience while you're still young.

I like how things are now.

It suits me.

And also, you're here with me.

I can't bear to part from you.

But I'm sure your teacher recommended you

because you have potential.

If you don't go, you won't know if it is suitable for you.

Shuangjiao, Mr. Shi, and I.

We all want you by our side.

But we definitely want you to live your dreams too.

No, my English is so bad.

I'll tutor you, then.

I'm not used to the food there.

We'll send you food from China.

I don't have friends there.

So go and make new friends.

What if someone pursues you when I'm gone?

You…

When you go abroad,

if other girls hit on you,

don't forget about me.

I'll do no such thing.

Growing up, you're the only one I was attracted to.

Why didn't you get a perfect score?

How can you still fool around with such grades?

You're a useless piece of dirt.

Please share your past with me.

I don't want to miss any moment with you in it.

Renqi, you're home.

I made all your favorite dishes today.

Dad, lunch is ready.

Okay.

-Have a seat. -Have a seat.

Have a seat.

Renqi.

Try it. See if my cooking has changed.

Renqi.

I know.

I didn't love you enough when you were young.

I wasn't a good mom.

I didn't take good care of you.

I know it's too late now.

But I hope you have a chance

to make up for what you've missed in the past.

That's my wish.

It's also Shuangjiao's wish.

Right.

Didn't you make him longevity noodles?

Bring them out.

Yes.

Grandpa specially requested to make you some longevity noodles.

They're ready.

I forgot. I'll go get them.

Shuangjiao, come and help me out.

Okay.

Renqi.

When are you planning on returning to Clean First?

You started the business, after all.

You can't leave it to others forever.

Get back to work soon.

So that I don't have to worry.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Okay.

I had underestimated Clean First.

Actually, your company and your employees

gave me a good impression.

All this time,

you did

a great job.

Do you really mean what you just said?

Renqi, come with me.

Come on.

These are all for you.

VOICE RECORDER

They're inedible now.

I bought them for you when you were five or six.

It has been over 20 years.

VOICE RECORDER

I remember this too.

When you were 12,

voice recorders were very popular.

Other kids had them,

so I bought one for you too.

However,

it's already outdated.

Grandpa.

Did you get me birthday presents every year?

Birthday presents?

I don't celebrate birthdays.

I don't care for them either.

They're all useless now.

It takes up space at home.

Take it back.

Do whatever you want with them.

They're not useless.

I'll take care of them.

I wonder how their conversation is going.

Will they fight again?

No, Madam Gu.

Like us, I'm sure his grandpa wants him to recover soon too.

Dad.

The noodles are ready. Let's eat.

Renqi, come and eat.

Here.

Renqi.

Have some more.

Mom.

Thank you.

Renqi.

It's your birthday.

You should have two eggs.

Here. You can't have less than that.

Eat them all.

Why are you all looking at me? Why aren't you eating?

Did I say something wrong?

No, you're right.

Renqi.

I don't want anything else.

When I gave you your name,

I was hoping that all of us would always be together.

Let's forget about the horrible past.

From now on,

I just want you to be happy.

Renqi.

They are right.

All this time,

you've really been outstanding.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Just be happy.

It's my first time hearing you compliment him.

Am I that stingy?

Yes.

When it comes to compliments,

you're very stingy.

I didn't want him to be proud.

I think you're just too shy to express yourself.

Some things are better left unsaid.

My goodness.

Let's eat.

The noodles are all soggy.

Eat up.

Shuangjiao.

This dish is good too. Here.

Thank you, Madam Gu.

Madam Gu. Have a drumstick.

Thank you.

What are you waiting for? Eat up.

Dad, this is good for you.

Shuangjiao.

Meihua told me

that you're in charge of Clean First's nursing home project

and you got first place.

The name of the project

is "Warm Home."

"Warm Home"?

Sounds great.

In the past,

I was wrong.

I was prejudiced against you.

I even went to your house and said some rude things.

But please understand.

-That's all because-- -It's for Renqi's own good.

I know.

From your perspective,

you're only trying to protect Gu Renqi

from being swindled by others.

I might have made the same decision as you.

Because I love him too.

That's why I understand.

I used to think that Renqi was too immature.

I thought he needed my help and guidance

to do better.

But actually,

he's all grown up before I noticed it.

The ultimate goal of cleaning

is to make people happy.

I guess that's also the goal of the Warm Home Project.

That's good.

Stay still.

-Do I have to be so formal? -Of course.

This is an interview.

Watch and learn.

Next time,

you will have to do it yourself.

-I told you not to move. -It's too tight.

It has to look neat for you to look good.

Keep your back straight.

This is your first interview. Make a good impression on the interviewer.

Don't worry.

I'll do my best.

Stand here.

Let me ask you some questions.

Answer me like I'm the interviewer.

Be serious. Don't joke around.

Okay.

First question.

Why do you want to study mechanical design?

Since I was young,

I've been interested in mechanical items.

If a machine suddenly breaks down,

it's inconvenient for people who are dependent on machines.

So it's very rewarding to help people fix broken machines.

I'm studying this

to create high-quality machines.

I want to make people happy.

Here's the second question.

Compared with the other exchange student candidates,

why should we offer this to you?

I won't say that I'm talented or smart.

But I am serious enough.

I don't give up easily.

No matter how long it takes.

No matter how hard it gets.

I'll persevere

for what I love.

Let me ask you one last question, then.

After you graduate,

will you choose to stay abroad

or come back to China?

I'll be back.

Because the one I love

is still waiting for me.

I'll be back.

I will run to her,

embrace her…

and live here with her.

Zhu Yan.

Give me a good luck charm, will you?

My family is not here.

I don't feel secure.

Do your best.

Are you still angry?

Here, pat my head.

I should have known.

You're selfish. You just can't change.

You only think about yourself.

Do whatever you want.

-Shi Junjie! -My goodness.

-I want to grow up quickly and be a man. -Zhu Yan.

I want to protect you.

I said that I'll accept you for now.

The owner of the equestrian club invited me here today.

It's the club's tenth anniversary.

What a beautiful equestrian club.

Can you ride a horse?

Of course.

Really?

When did you learn?

From games.

How is that the same as riding an actual horse?

I always got first place in horse-riding games.

Okay.

Accompany me as I work first,

then teach me how to ride.

This is a public event. I'm sure there are reporters inside.

I know.

I'm a public figure, after all.

This is normal.

But…

I don't hide my love life.

It's all over the news anyway.

Do you still want to deny it?

I mean,

your hair is all messed up by the wind.

Let me tidy it up for you.

So that you can look your best in front of everyone later.

Okay?

Let's go.

-Wang Qianqian. -Qianqian.

-You're so pretty. -I really like you.

-Qianqian. -I love you!

-I love you! -Qianqian.

-Qianqian. -Qianqian.

-Wang Qianqian. -You're right.

-Qianqian, you can do it. -Qianqian.

Ms. Wang, what's your relationship with the man beside you?

Is he a bodyguard or a boyfriend?

Yes. Tell us.

Hello, my name is Li Dongxian.

I'm Qianqian's boyfriend.

-What? All of a sudden? -A real boyfriend.

You don't look like a celebrity.

Isn't it great to be in a relationship with the hottest host?

Actually, I'm just like you.

I admire Qianqian's determination and hard work.

I like that she's kind and brave.

I promise you.

Qianqian will definitely be happier.

I'm willing to be supervised by all of her fans and friends.

-You're a real man. -You're responsible.

How sweet.

We just started dating.

I hope everyone can give my boyfriend and me some time and space.

-Thank you. -Okay.

Wang Qianqian is taken.

It's official.

-Qianqian. -I wish her well.

I promise I'll protect you my whole life.

-I'm so happy. -I'm happy.

That's so sweet.

-That's so sweet. -Love them.

I support you, Qianqian.

-Qianqian, be happy. -Be happy.

Congratulations, Qianqian.

I wish you happiness.

Shuangjiao.

Can you take another look?

Do I look okay?

Relax.

Even if my dad says no,

he won't be too hard on you.

I'm not worried he'll give me a hard time.

I'm worried that he won't trust me with you.

Don't worry.

It's okay.

We can figure it out together.

I was rude back then.

I said things that I shouldn't have.

I was blunt too.

I'm here today to apologize.

Mr. Gu, you're too courteous.

I'm sorry.

From now on…

I didn't expect

your grandpa to come to my dad secretly and apologize.

He doesn't like to lose face.

For him, this is not easy.

He changed because of you.

You know that he cares a lot about you, right?

After I grew up, I didn't even want to go home.

Did I go too far?

No.

You both had a misunderstanding.

Neither of you were willing to take a step back.

Shuangjiao.

Thank you.

Thank you for letting us talk it out.

Thank you for being so cheerful and warm.

Why are you thanking me?

I'm not the quiet type. Don't think about having a peaceful life.

I'll enjoy the tumultuous life with you, then.

Mr. Shi.

Junjie.

-Go and make some tea. -Okay.

Mr. Shi.

I hope

you can entrust me with Shuangjiao again.
