=Episode 11= (Please Spare the Pair of Lovers)

Dad.

The new table has arrived, so why are you still eating here?

Why not eat there?

What if that nice table gets scorched?

What? Isn't the table meant for eating?

Afraid of scorching it? Are you looking down on the designer?

It's also not easy to clean if it gets dirty.

It was designed by my son-in-law. We should cherish it, right?

How's your accounting going? Making any money?

Not bad. We should be able to break even this way.

That's good then.

What about Lin Tuo?

I don't know. He's not answering his phone.

(I've arrived home. Too tired. I'm going to sleep now.)

(Let's talk tomorrow.)

How tiring can it be to make a call after you're already back?

What did you do to be so tired?

Isn't he busy? He did reply to your WeChat messages, didn't he?

Why be so fussy?

I'm not replying. So pissed.

(Alarm Clock)

Why did you sleep on the sofa without changing your clothes?

I was too tired and didn't want to go to bed.

What time is it? Aren't you going to work?

Yes.

We haven't seen each other for a week,

but I can't see the eager anticipation in your eyes.

It's on my mind.

What's that smell on your clothes?

A smell of hospital disinfectant.

Really? I've just changed.

Yes, there is.

I'll go clean up.

How's your business these past few days?

It is doing pretty well.

We've released a new product now.

It's on sale at half price, and the reviews are especially good.

There are also so many delivery orders

that sometimes, I can't even attend to the customers in the store.

I'm preparing to hire someone now.

And your buddy, Chen Guangpu, is really clumsy,

making Xindi even busier.

Right, I interviewed a kid the other day.

I found him particularly cute. I quite liked him.

Curly-haired. He's called Bao.

This is the Pengyu project book.

All six products have been completed.

Once you sign, I'll file it.

OK. Somebody from Jingtian will visit today. Have a meeting with them.

Get an idea of what they want, and you'll be in charge.

Leader, I have something to tell you.

Go ahead.

I might not be able to be a designer in the future.

The reason?

My right hand might not be able to draw anymore.

(Open For Business) The basic situation is like this.

This menu lists some of my coffee-making tips and recipes.

Right now, there are four basic types of coffee.

That is, Americano, latte, pour-over, and cold brew.

Just make them with the normal ratios.

There are also two seasonal drinks that we change regularly.

It's coconut and soy milk pudding this month.

Feel free to bring up your ideas and discuss them with me.

Okay.

Although the shop is small, there's actually quite a lot to do.

Previously, my friend helped me.

But now she's too busy with her live-streaming work.

We work together, so the division of work might not be very clear.

I can do anything. Drinks, coffee, cakes.

I'm also very good at cleaning, and I'm strong.

All right, then welcome to HW Cafe.

Thank you, boss.

You don't have to call me boss. Just call me Que.

You're 22, one year older than me, so I'll call you Miss Que.

Okay, boy.

Welcome to HW Cafe.

Welcome.

What would you like to order?

Is it confirmed?

The screening results aren't out yet.

The doctor said it was hard to diagnose my condition directly.

We have to rule things out one by one.

That means, it could be a tumor.

Who would have thought that one day, they would hope to have a tumor?

But now, I'm even eagerly hoping

it's a tumor or cancer.

That way, there might still be hope.

It's just your right hand that's not working well, right?

You still can move it.

Anyway, if it doesn't work, there's still the left.

If one day... We'll get a lot of projects.

Our team will get a lot of projects.

Even if you can't draw anymore, you can do other things.

What do you want to be?

Your assistant.

I still have my left hand, don't I?

Right, being an assistant would be good.

I especially need a good assistant.

You'll be the assistant and continue working. What's the issue?

Thank you, Leader.

Let's go to the meeting. Get back to work.

Leader, can you do me a favor?

Go ahead.

I haven't told anyone about my illness.

You're the first one.

Can you keep it a secret for me?

Huo Sheng, you'll be in charge of the Jingtian project.

Okay.

Lin Tuo, set aside what you're handling

and work with me on the Yaoshi project.

This afternoon, the people from Jingtian are coming for a meeting.

Huo Sheng, Peng Qianfan, you'll be in charge.

Lin Tuo, get the Yaoshi project book done.

Okay.

Lin Tuo, why are you doing an assistant's work again?

Is it because you're too prominent?

No, I asked the team leader

to mentor me more.

I begged him for a long time before he agreed.

I knew it. He isn't that kind of person.

What's for lunch?

I'll order in a bit.

The exhibition is such a good opportunity.

I went to apply for it specifically.

Why are you stopping him from going? I didn't ask you to go.

I'm the boss of my team.

Wei Haiyang,

Don't tell me you are afraid that Lin Tuo

will outshine you.

Am I that kind of person?

What are you actually thinking now?

If he wins an award, it will benefit the firm.

You're aware of how many orders are placed at the exhibition each year.

Even if he doesn't win,

what's wrong with a newcomer getting some experience?

Our team is too busy. Let's change the person.

Besides, just because a green young man

designed a few small products that sold well,

is it necessary to put him on a pedestal?

I'm gonna temper him before he gets too cocky.

He is an assistant now, not a designer.

I have the final say.

You're just narrow-minded.

See? That is the epitome of being narrow-minded.

You think you're broad-minded?

I'm more broad-minded than you.

Ms. Qian, this is the new design draft. Please have a look.

(Lin Tuo)

Here, coffee beans.

May I have another pack? I'm going to an exhibition next week.

Alright. Bao, another bag of coffee beans.

Alright.

An exhibition? Where is it?

The Young Designers Exhibition in Shanghai.

When can Lin Tuo attend it?

He was supposed to go this time.

I just called him to talk about this.

He didn't answer.

Why didn't he go? Was he not allowed?

It seems that their team leader didn't let him go.

And Lin Tuo wasn't promoted to designer this time.

I just went to Ms. Qian's office

and heard them talking about it.

I don't know if Lin Tuo is aware.

Did he offend their team leader or something?

But he has a good relationship with his leader.

He often comes here for coffee.

I've never heard him say that.

I'm not too clear on the specifics.

Maybe their team have other plans.

They are working on a lot of projects now and have to

work overtime every day.

Yes. Now you're off work and he is still busy.

Aren't Guangpu and your bestie here?

They'll be back soon.

Miss Que, it's ready.

Okay.

Here, coffee beans.

Okay, thanks.

Not at all.

After I come back, let's have a meal together with Lin Tuo.

- Sure. - I'm off.

- Bye. - Bye.

Take care.

(ALS)

Tuo.

You're at home. Why didn't you drop by the cafe?

After I finished work, it was too late. The cafe was already closed.

I still had some documents to look up so I went home first.

Have you eaten yet?

I'm not hungry.

Tuo, did something happen to you at work?

No, what's wrong?

Why didn't your leader let you attend the Young Designers Exhibition?

Who told you that?

Your senior came to buy coffee beans and mentioned it today.

He said you were supposed to go, but then you weren't allowed. Why?

How does he know that?

He said he overheard it in Ms. Qian's office.

I'm asking you. Do you know about that?

Are you still kept in the dark or what?

No.

No? He has heard about it.

Did they not notify you at all?

Did you not get promoted to designer either? Why?

Can't you stop prying from others all the time?

They don't even know what happened.

What do you mean by "others"? Am I "others" too?

Why don't you tell me anything anymore?

Those are my work matters. What do you want me to tell you?

You're not my boss. Do I have to report my work to you too?

Wait, what do you mean by "report"?

Am I not even allowed to ask about your work?

Well, what do you want me to say about my work?

Lin Tuo, are you silly? You've been fooled by your leader.

Can't you see that?

It's clear that your design has made you stand out,

but your leader doesn't want to see that.

You should already be a designer. Why didn't they promote you?

Just like before, still doing odds and ends as an assistant.

Are you foolish or what?

I don't want to be a designer. It has nothing to do with my leader.

I don't want to attend.

Why?

Why? Why must I be a designer?

Won't it work if I don't become a designer?

Does it mean I can't live on?

What do you mean by this?

Haven't you always wanted to be a designer since you were young?

Didn't you go to Ji Jia to become a designer?

Now you're telling me you don't want to be a designer?

Are you sick or something?

Yes, I must be sick.

Lin Tuo, what are you doing?

Can we two not argue over this matter right now?

Did I come here to argue with you?

I worry that you've been badly treated in the office.

You mean I ran over here to have an argument with you?

No, that's not what it was.

I mean, I have my own work plans.

I know what I'm doing.

Can't I just further develop and improve myself?

Why are you trying to dictate my choices over this matter,

forcing me to do as you say?

Do I have to tell you everything and do what you want?

Now you're even questioning me because I don't want to be a designer.

The work has made me tired and crazy.

I worked overtime all day and didn't even get to eat.

But you are now confronting me with your assumptions.

What exactly do you want from me?

You feel so aggrieved? Why didn't you say so?

Where are you going?

None of your business.

He hasn't called you?

No.

Not even a WeChat message?

No.

How dare he?

The designer title has gone to his head?

What designer? He hasn't become one yet.

He told me he was not going to be a designer anymore.

I don't know what's wrong with him.

Sit.

Lin Tuo wasn't like this before.

Could he have been set up?

I'm telling you, it's dangerous for newcomers to stand out.

How long has he been in the firm?

With his big poster hung up, surely someone's jealous.

His leader looks like a sly old fox.

Didn't he offend an old woman last time?

They are the leaders.

They wouldn't let a green man call the shots.

They would target him.

That's exactly what I said to him.

He got mad with me

and said I was the one with issues and conspiracy theories.

Lin Tuo is just naive.

He can't discern people's intentions at all.

Look at Chen Guangpu.

Still holding the phone with a silly smile.

He told me he was chatting up a girl who just returned from abroad

and spoke four languages.

I asked him, "What does she do? A tour guide? What can you talk about?"

Right after they met, he got dragged to a shopping mall

and bought her a limited edition perfume.

Look at him, still grinning there. Idiot.

I can tell at a glance she's not a good girl.

He's to be duped.

Could there be something else going on with Lin Tuo?

What?

Lin Tuo has such a good temper.

Did he really fight with you before?

Is the work issue

really the reason?

I don't know. He's been distracted lately.

Last night, as soon as I entered, he closed the lid of his tablet.

That's it. He's having an affair.

Impossible. Lin Tuo can't be having an affair.

Really? Check his phone. There must be something.

It's most likely the one working with him,

the one named Hong, Lv, or something.

Huang Xiaolv often comes.

I know her. She's really nice.

I believe Lin Tuo.

You're stupid. Hopeless.

I'd like some juice to replenish vitamins.

Download an anti-fraud app

to prevent pig-butchering scams.

What? Who is a pig?

Who else could it be? You.

I just... You...

Slow in the head and speech. Idiot.

Miss Que, I've finished cleaning inside. We can lock up now.

You can leave. I'll lock up in a bit.

Okay, I'm off. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow, bye.

(Word)

I'm coming.

Let me stay at your place for a while.

Hey, shoes.

I'm too tired to change them.

What's wrong?

He Xindi keeps nagging me at home.

She's so annoying, even more than my mom.

She said I got myself a scammer

and sent me lots of scam cases she found online.

Is it possible she's hit menopause early or something?

It's about the girl you just met?

We are just communing normally.

She's introduced by a friend and she's a good person.

We're having pretty good chats.

But I didn't say we were going to date. What's Xindi's problem?

Does He Xindi have a thing for you?

Right, she likes to mess with me.

She's so anxious because you're chatting with that girl.

Isn't that just jealousy?

Jealousy? She just wants to see my downfall.

Didn't she get cheated on by Chen Xuan before?

I made fun of her. You remember, right?

So she held a grudge, wanting revenge.

She'd love nothing more than to see me swindled by a woman.

That would make her over the moon.

I don't think so.

Do you know her better than I do?

She can't find a boyfriend so she hassles me every day.

Talk about bad luck for me to co-rent and partner up with her.

Staying together 24 hours a day.

I can't return anymore.

Tonight I'll stay at your place. Que won't come, right?

No.

You two haven't made up yet?

Is it that serious?

After being together for so long, you still hold grudges from a fight?

I've also been pretty busy these past few days.

Yes, I know you're busy, but you can't ignore your girlfriend.

You cheat on her?

What are you talking about? Is it possible?

Then you shouldn't be doing this.

Still giving the silent treatment? We're adults now.

Do you have any idea how many girls end up

in someone else's arms because of their boyfriends' silent treatment?

Impossible.

If you're so confident, go ahead and keep up the silent treatment.

You might as well break up with her.

Start dating new ones.

I've got a party today with girls. Wanna join?

Are you crazy? Who said anything about breaking up?

I just got impulsive and argued. What are you even saying?

Leave. You came to my house this late to nag me.

I'm going to sleep.

You wouldn't admit your mistake if I didn't provoke you.

Your hand still hasn't healed?

Do you want to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?

No need.

(Copybook) What is this stuff?

Is it written with your feet? It's so ugly.

(Que did nothing wrong. It's my fault.)

45 yuan received.

Please come again.

Okay, goodbye.

Welcome.

Excuse me.

Order whatever you want yourself.

I want to order something that would make my girlfriend not angry.

Figure it out yourself. We don't have such a thing

that can help inconsiderate, heartless and crabby boyfriends.

So, that's why I brought it myself.

"Seeking Forgiveness" Milk Tea flavor. It's new.

No way.

And "Wanting You Back" Strawberry one. It's new too.

No way.

Then pick one.

With so many flavors, there must be one that's right for you.

Did you buy out that store or what?

If other men make their girlfriends angry,

at least they'd buy them a lipstick.

But you're giving me just lollipops.

Are you having financial difficulties?

Actually, no.

It's just that my salary card is with my girlfriend. I can't ask for it.

Get it back.

Things given to a girlfriend must never be asked back.

The love given to a girlfriend can't be taken back even if wanted.

That's so cheesy. Where did you learn that?

I just saw it online.

In the days without me, did you feel you got sloppier?

A total collapse, body and soul.

So I hurried over to fix it.

Have you recognized your mistake?

Yes, fully.

Didn't cheat?

I'll own up to my mistakes, but I can't accept defamation.

I suppose you wouldn't have the nerve.

You're bold now, arguing and giving me the silent treatment.

Are you going to break up with me next?

I will never do it.

Alright, I'll forgive you since it's your first time.

I give you a reprieve. Prove yourself in the future.

I will mend my ways and start anew.

Today, you do the cleaning.

Yes, ma'am.

Come closer. Let me have a look.

You've lost weight.

Have I?

You have. Let me feel if your abs are still there.

Well, I've lost weight, but my abs are still there.

Really?

12 packs.

Let me feel. I'm counting 13 now.

One extra even.

Why are you making coffee for me again?

I don't necessarily need this stuff.

Don't do it for me again.

Besides, if I want some, I can order delivery.

I'm a VIP at HW Cafe.

I'm not disabled yet.

Who said it? I just don't want to drink that much.

I can take care of these things.

Let me make a few more for you while I'm still capable.

Alright, just add less sugar. I don't want to get diabetes.

I'm too nice to you.

Fine, I'll take it.

It's too sweet. Let's go.

I want to visit my grandfather this weekend.

I'll go back with you.

It's so busy in the shop on weekends. Can you manage to get away?

That's why I'm thinking of hiring another person, but that will cost more.

Although my business is doing okay now,

it'll still take a while to recover the costs.

Take your time. There's no rush.

Hiring one more person might just bring in more earnings.

Exactly, if I do hire another one,

I might be able to go back with you.

Alright. My grandpa is getting on in years and not in good health.

I'd like to spend more time with him on weekends when I'm free.

Although my parents are with him, they are too busy.

And Ye is busy with the college entrance examination.

Actually, he is still alone.

How about bringing him over to live with us?

Okay, I'll go back and ask him this week.

If he agrees, I'll bring him over directly.

Sure, I'll tell him on the phone as well.

When you go back, talk to Ye more.

I feel that he's too repressed being around your parents.

It'd be great if he could really come to Chongqing to study music.

I want to encourage him to study music and do what he likes.

But how do you persuade your parents?

I don't know. Maybe one day they'll understand.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Tuo.

Grandpa, did you miss me?

And Que?

She's too busy with the cafe on weekends to come over.

I thought the two of you would come back together.

I have rejoiced too soon.

What do you mean by that?

You don't care about me now, it seems.

You were lying when you said you missed me?

I did miss you, but I also miss Que.

I'll be happy if both of you are by my side.

Let me help you.

Que let me tell you to come over to our place.

Stay with us for a few days, just like a vacation.

What vacation? I used to go to your place often.

But now both of us are there, right?

We have a big house over there and you're free.

Just stay for a few days. It won't be a big deal.

But who will water my flowers?

My mom or Ye can do it, can't they?

Are these flowers more important to you than I am?

I have a gateball match next Monday.

What kind of match is that?

Just grandpas playing gateball. You can play it after you come back.

It's not like that. We are an organized and disciplined team.

Those folks from the University for the Aged are sore losers.

We must beat them.

Let me think about it after I finish the match.

I'll take it as your agreement, okay?

Come over after the match. Call me and I'll pick you up.

No need to pick me up. I can go by myself.

Does your mom know you're here today?

I told her I'd stay with you tonight

to let her rest assured.

Alright, we will go eat hotpot tonight.

Let's enjoy ourselves.

I'll go change my shoes.

Okay.

(Luzhou Tongxin Hospital)

Come in.

Dad.

How come you're here?

I came back to see Grandpa.

Does your mom know?

I told her.

She said you were on duty today, so I came to check on you.

You need me?

No. I just haven't been here for a long time.

Has the first floor been renovated?

Yes, it's just been renovated.

They've built a new inpatient department at the back.

Your mom works there now.

Not in the ED?

That's good. It is too exhausting in the ED.

Dad, the dining table I designed has already sold a lot.

They even gave me a bonus.

It's just a dining table?

Yes.

Your hand?

It's nothing, just a sprain.

Vice Director Lin, consult at bed six.

Okay, I'll go right away.

Go back.

I'll go pick up Ye.

Okay.

How come you're back?

Can't I come back to my own home?

Did you come back alone?

Wait, why do all of you ask about Que as soon as you see me?

You broke up?

Nonsense!

I just came back to see Grandpa and to check on you by the way.

What's there to check?

To see if you're skipping class again and fooling around.

Yes, I am, so what?

Ye, go study music.

Did you pass the music academy exam before?

What's the use even if I passed? I can't attend anyway.

So you did pass, right?

When the time comes, just put the music academy on your list.

Once your scores meet the requirements and the admission letter arrives,

they can't do anything.

Easier said than done.

Do you think they would let me attend?

Dad would tear up my admission letter and tell me to go repeat the year.

They won't pay

for my music education.

I'll do it. I've saved money.

I'll cover all your expenses including tuition and living costs.

And then? We cut off our relationship with them

just like you did back then, letting them down.

Watching Mom crying and Dad smashing things at home.

I've had enough of that.

I've been thinking about changing my application,

but I don't want to see Mom cry.

I will persuade Mom and Dad.

Trust me. Go apply for the university you want to attend.

I'll talk to them. I won't make Mom cry.

(Chongqing Houses) Leader, I wanna ask for leave.

What's wrong?

I'm going to get the test results today.

I'll go with you.

No need. I can go by myself.

I want to go alone.

Okay, no problem. You...

You can go straight home and rest for the day after that.

Thank you.

Lin Tuo, it's okay.

I still suggest you listen to the test results

and the treatment plan with your family.

Can't I do it alone?

It's best to be with your family.

I don't want to.

Okay, I understand.

So, the current test results

exclude the possibility of a false ALS caused by other reasons,

including tumors.

That means your muscle weakness and atrophy

will gradually develop and spread.

This time it's my right hand. What about next time?

It's uncertain. Maybe your left hand, or maybe your right hand will get worse.

And then step by step to the whole body, right?

Yes, it will also affect your speech

swallowing and even breathing.

But you'll remain conscious.

That is, I'll be unable to speak, right?

Yes.

And also unable to eat, right?

Yes, but all this will not happen suddenly.

What happens in the end?

I will die, right?

Yes.

How long will it take me to die?

If a normal lifespan is this long,

this disease will greatly shorten it.

Is there a possibility of a cure?

So far, there is no cure,

but there are some medications

that can delay its progression.

I still can't believe that my hand has become like this.

I feel that when I wake up the next day,

my hand will be able to move freely like before.

Director Zhou, could it be a misdiagnosis?

I've always been in good health.

My pre-employment examination results showed no issues.

I still suggest you tell your family.

You can't face this alone.

You don't know what this illness means for you.

I can't promise you'll live for three or five more years, or even longer.

But it's not too late now.

Lose no time and get treatment.

Everyone's life is finite.

But the attitude towards life is even more important.
