Senior.

You like Que as well,

right?

Yes.

Then you shouldn't persuade me.

Do you think I'm the one who wants you

to break up so that I can take advantage of it?

That's not what I meant.

I have nothing to hide.

Falling for someone is a great thing.

I think Que is great.

If you two weren't together,

as I knew Que first,

I would definitely pursue her seriously.

But you two are together now.

As a friend, and as a senior,

my blessings for you are genuine.

I don't know what happened between you two,

but I still hope you'll reconsider seriously.

Is breaking up

really the best solution?

Be careful.

Release that handle to brake.

Well done.

Can you feel it?

Do you feel the thrust?

(HW Cafe) Thank you all, thank you.

It's the end of live stream.

Goodbye, everyone.

See you next time.

Chen Guangpu, get me a glass of water. I'm so thirsty.

Chen Guangpu.

Chen Guangpu.

What are you doing here?

I have been calling you.

My throat is hoarse.

What are you doing here?

I didn't hear you.

Why are you spacing out?

Are you done?

Let's get off work.

What do you mean?

Did you come to work these days?

You either sleep here or just space out.

You leave before 7 p.m. every day. What are you up to?

I have things to do.

What's going on?

Which girl has deceived you?

Cheated out of money or heartbroken?

Are you serious?

Why would you wish that for me?

Do I look like a fool that everyone can deceive?

You are a fool.

You've been deceived several times.

I had no control over you before.

You don't have any control over me now.

Now we're roommates running a business together.

- I have a duty to manage your money. - On what grounds?

On what grounds?

Why should you manage my money?

You can provide for me, and I'll give all my money to you.

Fine, I'll provide for you.

Give it all to me.

I'll pay you monthly,

so that you can't be cheated out of money.

He Xindi.

That's enough.

You…

You want to monopolize me.

You like me, right?

- If you like me, just say so. - Get over yourself.

I could consider it.

But let me be clear first.

I'm not seeking marriage now.

Despicable.

What are you doing?

Leave me alone.

(Chongqing Houses)

Lin Tuo, hurry up.

Lv.

Can you help me

make a cup of coffee?

I have something to deal with.

You're so tolerant.

You've been at the company for so long, and the product has been launched,

and you're still making him lattes every day.

That's what an assistant does.

Why are you still an assistant?

Being an assistant is pretty good.

Less pressure.

Help me out.

Extra sugar and milk, you know.

Off work now.

What shall we eat?

But, no noodles or dumplings. Let's try other dishes.

You know it.

I have something to tell you about He Xindi.

I think she's been acting very unusual lately.

She seems overly concerned for me.

You know she's been pursuing the senior, right?

But the senior ignored her.

Recently, she suddenly started to take an interest in me.

She told me today

she wants to manage my money.

I said then you might as well provide for me.

Let's go.

My right hand is failing.

I said

I can't move my right hand.

What do you mean?

It's deteriorating.

Que, I'll leave now.

Bao.

Sorry, do you have plans tonight?

No, nothing.

Perfect.

Anyone who looks at it would think it's an arm issue.

It won't raise any suspicions.

Trust me. I have experience.

One year in Junior High,

I dodged my holiday homework with this trick.

This counts as making good use of waste.

You're using it again.

Nice.

An arm injury

would take at least three months to heal.

It would work for at least three months.

It takes 100 days to heal.

Three months are reasonable.

What if after three months?

What if my left hand also fails?

We'll put a brace on the left hand too.

Don't worry. I always have a way.

That's good.

You really can't tell.

I'll wear it when I go out.

I'm thinking

maybe you shouldn't work anymore.

I have savings, too.

And I also asked for some money from my mom a few days ago.

My funds aren't profitable.

I want to sell them.

Then I'll have tens of thousands yuan.

It's enough.

If I don't go to work,

I'll have no social security

and health insurance.

For medical care and medication,

there will be a lot of expenses.

The money you have

won't be enough.

I will earn more.

He Xindi and I can make money through our live stream.

If you don't work, we can pay the social security ourselves.

And think about it. Your right hand is bandaged now.

You can't draw designs with your left hand.

It's not realistic to work like this.

Right?

I still don't understand.

We haven't done anything wrong.

Why the secrecy?

They must not know.

You hid it

from Que.

But what about your parents?

It's not necessary.

We can all think of a solution together.

There's always a way.

More minds

would be better than just the two of us worrying about these things.

This illness

is not a cold or a fever.

It's not something you can hide

and recover from in a few days.

Do you really…

Do you really want to wait

until you can't move at all

before you tell them?

Have you thought about

how they'd cope

without being prepared?

Ever since that day,

I've been worried.

I can't even sleep.

I'm just afraid that one day,

if you fall down and can't get up,

and I'm not there,

what should we do?

Lin Tuo.

Stop suffering alone.

Hungry?

Let's have hot pot.

Let's go.

You won't listen.

Let's go.

What did you say? Say it again.

Lower your voice.

The neighbors are asleep.

Your father is asleep too.

Quiet.

What are you talking about?

Lower your voice.

Your father is asleep too.

Come on.

I understand that you wanted a drink,

but why did you drag Bao along?

You scared that kid.

You kept saying you were fine,

but you got drunk and threw up.

Fill it up for me.

That's enough.

Fill it up.

What are you yelling about?

Did we wake you?

Dad, fill it up for my dad.

Godfather.

Is she drunk?

What? How did she get so drunk?

Right, a company dinner.

She drank too much.

Didn't you drink?

I did.

I can hold my liquor better than she can.

She shouldn't be drunk like this.

Look, her face is swollen from drinking.

Be careful.

Just hold her.

Dad, let me tell you.

I'm an adult.

I can survive without anyone.

He's just Lin Tuo.

Can't I live without him?

Can't I go on living?

She's drunk.

Really drunk.

Lin Tuo.

What happened to your hand?

I fell down when playing soccer.

A fracture.

A fracture?

Right hand? How are you going to work?

It's fine.

Okay, tell me if you need anything.

What's wrong with your arm?

I fell when playing soccer.

How come you hurt your arm? Don't people usually hurt their legs?

Lin Tuo.

Leader.

Come out with me.

The Leader is so cruel.

He still has Lin Tuo work with his hand like this.

What's going on?

My right hand is failing.

This is a camouflage.

You're quite resourceful.

Are we going to a meeting?

There's no meeting.

Is work that important?

I want you to see someone.

Just come clean.

About what?

About what?

Your break-up.

As your father, I don't even know.

Do I deserve to be kept in the dark?

Do I deserve to know nothing?

Don't you already know everything?

But you didn't tell me.

She did tell you.

When did she… When did she say it?

Last night, when she was drunk.

Even if you did

tell me when you were drunk

last night, still…

He Xindi.

She lied to me.

Why did you conspire with her to deceive me?

Aren't we on the same side?

No, I didn't mean to.

But she wouldn't let me tell you. I figured I couldn't be a traitor.

Right now, in my heart, you are one.

You can't do this to me.

It's Lin Tuo who broke up with her,

but I'm to blame for that.

What did I do?

Wait, what?

Did Lin Tuo break up with her?

No, I did.

Why?

I didn't want to be together.

An Zhique.

What are you playing at?

You have been fine.

How can you break up just like that?

You're not children playing house. You can't call things off like that.

Most importantly,

you've both met each other's parents.

If you break up, what should I…

What should we do, right?

Does meeting the parents mean we can't break up?

An Zhique, you still think you're right.

Let me tell you, this…

It's clearly your fault.

I know Tuo well.

He's such a good child.

I won't even mention how he usually treats us.

He even paid for my surgery.

He took on a huge responsibility at a young age.

This isn't about the money. What does it show?

It shows that he is responsible and accountable.

Isn't that so?

You can't find such a person easily. So why would you break up with him?

You're making the wrong choice.

Are you saying

that we can't break up just because he paid for your surgery?

Does that mean I have to marry him?

What's wrong with that?

In the past, girls sold themselves to bury their fathers.

I didn't even ask you to bury me.

Why can't you make it work with him?

He Xindi, stand up.

Tell me the truth. Why is she behaving so outrageously?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

This has nothing to do with me at all.

I still don't know what's going on.

I swear.

If I lie to you,

I'll never make money through my lives stream.

Fine, An Zhique, you say it.

What is there to say?

There's nothing to say.

I'm telling you both.

Neither of you should go to Lin Tuo.

If you do, I will turn against you.

Que.

Let her go.

You're turning against me, aren't you?

You're heartless for saying that.

An Zhique, if you're capable,

spend the rest of your life in your room and don't come out.

Don't get married.

I'm so angry. So angry.

She's doing this on purpose.

These are the people who use knowledge to change the world.

Every time they develop a new drug,

they save thousands or even millions of lives.

Compared to them,

our professions seem somewhat insignificant.

That's what my father thought.

So he believes that if I'm not a doctor,

I'm not in a proper career.

That's not necessarily the case.

Every job has its value.

However, the value of some jobs

indeed cannot be measured in money.

I've never been to college.

So I have great admiration for highly educated people.

Haiyang.

Dr. Wu.

Sorry for the wait.

The meeting took longer than I thought.

No, sorry to interrupt.

- Lin Tuo, this is Dr. Wu Xinrui. - Dr. Wu, this is Lin Tuo.

- Hello, Dr. Wu. - Lin.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Have a seat.

Okay.

Sit.

You're so young.

23 years old.

Have you been diagnosed

with ALS?

Yes, I have.

The doctor has explained some of the situation.

But I personally really want to know,

from the perspective of your pharmaceutical research,

are there any drugs against ALS?

ALS is

indeed a project our lab has been working on.

But unfortunately,

up to now,

there is no cure.

Actually, the doctor has also told me there is no cure.

But you do have a research topic.

Well…

The development of drugs

is a very complex and lengthy process.

It requires a significant amount of human and financial resources.

We do have a project on it.

However,

the difficulties are tremendous.

You need a lot of money.

Money is just a part.

Of course,

with an investment,

the project can be advanced.

But it might take ten years,

decades,

or even the effort of several generations to complete.

You heard him just now.

There is a project on ALS.

Dr. Wu's pharmaceutical company is researching it.

It's the same with many incurable diseases.

Targeted drugs and specific cures have been developed bit by bit.

In the past, dysentery was an incurable disease.

Whooping cough could be fatal.

Smallpox and chickenpox were considered incurable,

not to mention cancer later on.

Haven't they all been overcome one by one?

It's a matter of time.

Get in the car.

Do you know how much time I have with my illness?

Three to five years.

For me, time

has a limit now.

So what?

It's not tomorrow.

Three to five years is not a short time.

Have some faith in yourself.

I am looking for experts and doctors

in this field now.

Let's understand more about the situation,

so we can have more options.

Didn't we learn a lot today?

Leader, thank you.

There's nothing to thank me for.

Tuo,

whose life has no limit?

In the end, don't we all have to leave this world?

We can only move forward.

Moving forward.

Let's get a bite before returning to work.

Think about what to eat now.

Okay.

Ye.

No matter what,

you should still let your father know.

I don't want to go back.

So you're planning to go straight to university

without even saying goodbye?

Eat.

Let's talk after eating.

Dad.

You always indulge him.

I indulge him?

Of course, you do.

He's always running over here on a whim.

Why would you do that?

Going to university without saying goodbye?

The child doesn't come home.

Don't you know what the problem is?

Both children don't come home.

Aren't you and Lin Shouzheng at fault?

I wasn't blaming you.

Tuo has been

in Chongqing for such a long time.

Have you ever visited?

Ye has been

with me for a semester.

Has Lin Shouzheng come by even once?

Why is it always the kids who are wilful?

If you ask me,

Lin Shouzheng is the most wilful one.

Just tell him that.

Ye is not leaving.

He'll stay with me.

Tomorrow, I will take him to university.

I'll pay the tuition fees.

After all, what he's studying isn't something you like.

This university has nothing to do with you.

Come, go play gateball with me.

Dad, finish your meal first before…

I'm full.

Take your time.

Seriously.

He's spoiled Ye.

Grandpa.

Where will we play gateball this late?

There's no gateball.

I didn't want to stay inside and argue with your mom.

She's fifty years old.

I feel bad if she gets upset.

Are you really going to take me to university?

Of course.

I might also check on your brother.

Lately, I've been feeling uneasy.

I keep feeling like something has happened.

Did he have a fight with Que?

Impossible. They never fight.

That's good.

We're going to visit him.

Okay, let's go.

Let's each have an ice cream.

Take a carefree stroll.

Don't delete his WeChat account.

It'd be so awkward if they made up.

Can they really reconcile under these circumstances?

How long has it been?

Just think about it.

If Que really wanted to break up,

why would she get drunk?

Let's wait and see.

No need to wait.

Just delete it.

Let's get over it.

We're not getting back together.

Go to work.

Guangpu.

My grandpa is here.

So suddenly? When did he arrive?

Is it okay?

Yes.

I got a fracture when playing soccer, Don't get it wrong, got it?

I got it.

The main problem is

what if your grandpa asked about Que?

We'll handle it later.

Ye.

What happened to your arm?

I fell while playing soccer.

You fell while playing soccer?

Que never mentioned it to me.

I didn't want you to worry.

Right, Grandpa.

It's normal to fall when playing soccer.

Thank you for cooking so many dishes after a long ride.

Wouldn't it be better to eat out?

Dinner will be ready in ten minutes.

Take a seat to rest.

You make us feel worried.

How could you hurt yourself like this?

Grandpa.

You should tell us before you came.

What else is there to say?

I knew you were busy, so I didn't disturb you.

Que just brought the two of us over.

You could have just called, and I would have come to pick you up.

No need.

Do you think I'm so old that I can't walk anymore?

Does it hurt?

It's alright.

Let's dig in, Grandpa.

Let's dig in.

Wait a moment.

We have another guest arriving soon.

Coming.

I'll go get it.

Uncle.

- Chen is here too? - Hello, Uncle.

An, you've come.

Uncle, I'm here, Uncle.

This isn't much.

You didn't have to.

Of course, I should.

- We are waiting for you. - Thank you.

Come on. Sit down.

- Have a seat, and let's eat. - Okay.

I'm not sure if it suits your taste.

I like it.

What happened to your hand?

He hurt himself

when playing soccer.

Yes, Uncle.

That's quite normal.

Now you can even chip a tooth while swimming.

He's so careless. Come on.

Come on, try the dish and see if you like it.

Come on. Let's eat.

Yeah.

How come you're here?

When did you fall?

A couple of days ago.

You seem to be in good spirits.

You went to play soccer.

So, that's why I fell.

I didn't want Grandpa to feel upset.

So I came.

Why is Uncle here too?

Well, Grandpa said he wanted to see my dad.

I couldn't just say no.

Well,

does your dad know it?

He does.

Well…

Why did he show up anyway?

My dad is a man who insists,

unlike you.

What are you two chatting about, right next to the trash can?

Where are you going?

Going downstairs to buy some stuff.

Is your cafe close to here?

Not far. I'll take you there for fun tomorrow.

Okay, it's settled then.

You have to work when you go.

Then I won't go.

How dare you?

I've saved this tea set and tea leaves

specially for you.

I heard from Que that you love tea.

I remember that.

You're considerate.

Have a try.

This tea smells so good.

Come on.

That's great.

Tuo is lucky to meet Que.

And you too.

You're a great father.

It's his double blessing.

Right now,

I'm just anxious for them to get married soon

so that I can have a great-grandson.

Yeah.

I'm also looking forward to it.

Isn't that so?

Come on. Have some tea.

Uncle, please, you don't need to escort me out.

Stay here for a few more days.

I'll take you out for some fun.

We can have tea.

Take good care of yourself.

All right.

I'll be waiting for you.

Yeah. Of course.

Grandpa, come and visit our cafe with Ye later.

Alright, I will.

I want to visit it.

Okay, see you then.

See you, Grandpa.

Goodbye, Grandpa.

Take care.

Goodbye, Uncle.

Okay, bye.

Dad.

You're going too far.

Thank you.

I forgot to give them the sausage.

I'll do it.

Seriously.

I'm telling you, you should…

What's going on?

She insists on drinking milk tea. Why would you want that?

- You'll get fat. You can't drink that. - Yes, you will. You shouldn't.

- Sausages I filled. - Thank you.

Steam before slicing, and it goes well with alcohol.

Thank you. I love sausages the most.

That's good to know.

- Thank you. - Great.

Alright.

See you then.

- Goodbye, Grandpa. - Okay.

Press that button.

You're the best.

Take this card.

Spend it wisely.

No need.

Mom gave the tuition fees to Grandpa.

And he also gave me living expenses.

I saved this money for you anyway.

Take it.

Keep it for yourself, and take care of yourself.

When does school start?

The registration is in three days.

Three days?

Alright.

Have you told Dad?

No.

He's been ignoring you?

He remains the same

all the time.

Alright, go to sleep.

I'm going to sleep too. I have to work tomorrow.

This is our Cafe.

(HW Cafe)

Please come in.

Be careful.

It's quite spacious inside.

Yes, we have two small private rooms in there.

Private rooms?

Right, I will show you in a moment.

Did you make all of these?

Yes, we made them ourselves.

Great.

They look delicious.

I'll get you a piece in a while.

Look inside there,

we even have a small gallery.

I got the inspiration after my last visit

to your little garden.

These flowers and plants are lovely.

Young people are indeed creative.

Very pretty.

These are items from the small workshop.

Without you,

none of this would exist.

It's all thanks to you.

All thanks to me?

Come on, Grandpa, sit down.

Sure.

These tables and chairs

were all made by Tuo.

Were they?

Alright.

It's worth the time he spent in my workshop.

We couldn't afford to ask you to make our tables and chairs.

Nowadays,

I can't see well.

I can only admire it with my eyes.

I can't do the physical work.

This is nice.

Where is Ye?

He's been working inside since early morning.

Make him work more.

Grandpa, your afternoon tea is ready.

Thank you, young lady.

Grandpa.

My name is Bao, and I'm a boy.

Oh, a boy.

Call me if you need anything.

Thank you.

These dimples of his.

He's a boy.

- A boy. - So handsome.

Grandpa, have a taste.

This is our red velvet cake.

Really? I'll give it a try.

Taste it.

Tasty, isn't it?

So delicious!

Please have another bite of that.

This is nice.

Ye.

Ye.

You see, I'm just free labor.

He's unhappy.

He's acting all serious.

Grandpa.

Pu.

Grandpa, you're here!

Hello, Grandpa.

I'm Que's best friend.

I'm also a partner of this shop.

You can call me Xindi.

- I've seen you before. - You've seen me?

In the photo.

You look prettier in person.

I do?

That's what everyone says.

I rely on this to find a boyfriend.

Okay, have you found one?

Yes, I have.

One of our seniors.

Does that senior know about that?

Shut up.

Grandpa.

I'll bring him to meet you later, so that you can check him out for me.

I'll analyze your Eight Characters for you.

Do you know how to do that?

Why don't you test us two first to see if we're compatible?

- He definitely brings me bad luck. - Right, give us a reading.

We mustn't turn out compatible. That would be trouble.

Who would want to be compatible with you?

Grandpa, I'll show you my live-streaming room.

That one, the big glass room.

Grandpa, mind your steps.

That room in there.

Be careful with it.

If you break one, you'll have to pay for it.

Why should I?

What?

Shall I pay for it then?

You.

Stop saying that. You should call me sister.

Underage.

I'll say it one more time.

I am an adult now.

And I'm about to go to college.

Don't call me underage anymore.

Even if you were 80 years old, you'd still be underage in front of us.

You and Lin Tuo could still be together at the age of 80.

Still, you'd still be underage.

Do you know Xu Tianhai?

Yeah, he's my brother's childhood friend.

His sister is in the same grade as me.

She went abroad right after high school graduation.

Do you have his WeChat?

Yes, I do.

Let me take a look at his Moments.

Why?

Just let me have a quick look.
