Dad.

You're still up?

I'm going to bed.

Is the sofa too small?

Sleep in the bedroom.

No.

It's fine.

I got up for some water.

Let me fetch it.

No need.

Look.

I know you like this.

So I got it for you.

But you got home late.

I'm worried it may

go bad in the fridge.

So I'm drinking it.

Is it nice?

Not bad.

A bit too sweet.

Let me try it.

It's too sweet.

It's with full sugar.

We get 30% sugar.

No wonder.

- Sit and have a chat? - Sure.

Let's go.

Have it.

- It's too sweet for me. - Okay.

Tuo.

I've always wanted to ask you something.

Did you sign up for a medical university

as one of the options?

Yes, I did.

But I scored too low.

So I lied and said I never applied.

But I would have gone to a medical university if I had

scored high enough.

Y-You know what?

Back then,

I went through

so much to enter

the medical university.

I had to bike for two hours

to the cram school

after class every day.

It was so cold in the winter

I couldn't take it.

In the end, I set up

a bed in the storage room

in my classmate's house

in the county

and slept there.

The winter nights were freezing.

I dared not take off my shoes

or my hat.

It was so tough.

But I devoted myself

to the medical university despite all that.

Because it had always been my dream.

My ambition.

Soon after I got enrolled,

I met your mom.

We didn't meet at school.

She was at the nursing school.

The medical university

changed my life.

It offered me love, marriage,

a job,

a family,

and two sons.

You've never mentioned it.

You've been

way too busy.

It's not because of that,

but my negligence.

Over the years,

I neglected your mom,

Ye and you.

I've seen too much

life and death at the hospital.

I really thought of myself as a savior.

Seeing the patients in agony,

I thought I could do more.

I wanted to be a chief physician,

a head of the department,

a professor, and even

a hospital director.

I was occupied

and forgot that I was also a husband

and a father to two kids.

Tuo,

I'm not a decent father.

I'm sorry.

Dad.

No.

Tuo.

I owe you an apology, too.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

My son.

Mom.

I'm the one who should apologize.

Dad.

Mom.

I'm dying young

and can't take care of you.

I should apologize.

Sorry.

We won't give up on you.

Son.

Don't give up on yourself, okay?

Let's hang in there, okay?

Let's not talk about

my problem in the next few days.

Just stay with me for the week.

Just stay with me

like in my childhood, okay?

- Just like in your childhood. - Okay.

=Episode 16= =If Parenting Is a Test, Did You Pass?=

Senior, you're leaving?

- Did you drive here? - Yeah.

Give me a ride.

But you just arrived.

I'm not here for something.

And I don't

have work today.

Where did you park?

Are we heading

the same way?

Yeah.

Senior, are you going to play soccer

this weekend?

Yeah, it's a friendly match.

I told Chen Guangpu that

Que and I would go.

He said

it would be awkward

with Lin Tuo there.

I was trying

to make them see each other.

They broke up for no reason.

Both are stubborn.

Que can't let him go,

but she doesn't admit it.

Neither of them backs down.

It's going to be the end of it

unless we help them out.

What do you think?

Lin Tuo texted me that he wouldn't make it

and asked for a week off from work.

What happened?

His parents came.

His parents came?

We have kitchen utensils,

furniture,

- and everything you need at home. - So pretty.

- Here. - Look.

(Lin Tuo)

My son is so handsome.

- I designed it. - Really?

It's called "Let's Eat Together".

And there's a heart.

Aren't you going to

buy your son's design?

Yeah, thumbs up for you.

♪Ordinary leaves fall down ordinarily♪

♪Does anyone care♪

♪I guess the wind has regrets♪

♪Listen, the scattered years in the wind♪

♪Seem to say there's still reluctance♪

Is it nice?

Smells great.

Alright.

♪Time is still kind, isn't it♪

- How's it going? - Give it to me.

Let's put it all around the edges.

Okay, let's re-apply the glue later.

♪I think even the wind has been happy before♪

♪Listen to the care it brought by♪

♪There's still time. What a beautiful phrase♪

♪But can the years ever stop♪

Don't break my heart.

You're home so early?

Why aren't you in the store?

Are you feeling unwell?

Let's not cook

if you're tired.

Let's eat out.

O-Otherwise,

let me get a take-out for you, okay?

What'd you like?

River snails rice noodles,

okay?

Okay, river snails rice noodles.

I'm getting it now.

We got this.

We got this.

We got this.

Hello.

Hello.

Senior.

I thought you weren't coming.

I had a plan

but I was done with it.

Would you like to play?

No, thanks. My arm is still injured.

And you? Are you playing?

No.

Why not?

I've gained too much weight.

So you can't play?

Keep working out.

Senior.

Senior, we're here.

Senior, I got a fruit tea to cheer for you.

There are lychee, passionfruit,

and peaches.

I got it just for you.

Good luck.

- Thanks. - No problem.

Lin Tuo, you're in the mood

for a soccer match?

What about your parents

and fiance?

- Whose fiance? - His fiance.

Senior, don't listen to her.

Stay quiet or walk away.

Don't spread rumors.

I'm not here for you.

Shut up.

Everyone's here.

I'm going to get ready.

- Wait for me. - Go.

Go for it.

All ready?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Alright. - Where are you going?

- Come on. - Just stay.

We're here

for the senior.

Sit.

Go for it, Senior.

I thought he wouldn't come.

Senior told me he wouldn't come.

Or I wouldn't get you here.

Who knew he'd come?

Isn't it awkward for me to be here?

My goodness.

What?

You have to avoid him forever?

Why don't you move to another planet?

You can't possibly

avoid him.

Besides, you did nothing wrong.

Why are you awkward? Just sit tight.

He's the guilty one.

Want to leave?

We can leave.

- I'll text Senior. - Let's stay.

Go for it, Senior.

Nice!

I won't get to watch soccer...

Go for it, Senior.

Keep going!

and see Que very often.

Nice!

- Go for it, Senior. - Defend!

Nice, Senior!

- Nice! - Pass it.

Go, Senior.

Pass the ball.

Defend!

Go for it, Senior!

This way.

Go forward. Defend!

Jiang Chucheng, go for it.

Pass the ball.

Run!

Back to defense!

Go for it, Senior.

Nice, Senior.

Pass the ball.

Shoot. Scored!

Nice!

After further systematic examination,

the possibility of immune-mediated

pseudo-ALS can now be completely ruled out.

Meanwhile, the symptoms

have gotten worse for Lin Tuo.

So, you should be prepared.

You always praise your job as a doctor.

What's so great about it?

Our son is ill.

Can you cure him?

Tell me.

Think of something.

It's not an ordinary disease with an easy cure.

What we should do

right now

is to get ready for the worst.

Like what?

What should I get ready for?

For the death of my son?

Do you hear yourself?

It's not something you can change.

You've worked in the hospital for years.

You've seen life and death, too.

Do I have to explain to you how it works?

How is that the same?

That's my son.

I gave birth to him and raised him.

- He's only 23. - Isn't he also my son?

You're the only one in pain?

Am I the one to blame?

Aren't you, Lin Shouzheng?

Have you looked after them?

You only care about your job.

You call it a career.

You've forgotten

that you have a wife and two sons.

You kept urging them to enter the medical university.

Have you smiled at them?

Have you hugged them?

Have you shown affection?

You're not a proper father.

(We take countless tests, growing up.)

(We have to be good students at school)

(and good staff at work.)

(Tests are fair.)

(We get kicked out once we fail.)

(But there are no tests for potential parents.)

(Children do not get to)

(choose their parents.)

(They're born to accept their fate.)

(This test is missing.)

(So it's not fair.)

(How many parents have truly assessed themselves?)

(They may love their children,)

(but there's no excuse to fail as parents.)

(Tuo.)

(Your mom and I love you so much.)

(But we've failed)

(this test.)

Move.

Hey.

What are you doing?

He Xindi.

It's taken. Sit in the back.

What's your problem? Get off.

What's your problem?

Well,

someone has a problem and he knows it.

Watch your mouth, He Xindi.

Where is Que?

She went back.

Come on, Sister.

It's a buddy's night. Leave us alone.

What?

We're no longer buddies because

they broke up?

You're not my buddy.

It's not like I want to be.

Well, relax.

I just want to

see what you guys do every day.

Senior, let's go.

Let's go.

What's this?

It's good.

Let me get you some.

What's that?

Mushroom?

I don't know what it is.

Won't you let us eat?

There is nothing you like?

Get something you like.

No, thanks.

It's a lot.

I don't have much appetite.

Why are you staying?

Just leave.

I'm training myself

to recognize

cheaters.

- Who is a cheater? - He.

Did you get something wrong?

Not at all.

He cheated.

Cheater.

Lin Tuo, do you swear that

you've never cheated on Que?

Do you?

Let's make things clear today.

Lin Tuo, if I've wronged you,

explain it.

There's nothing to explain.

So you admitted.

Lin Tuo, did you cheat on Que?

Did you?

Lin Tuo, say it!

Let go.

I need a word with you.

What? I'm not done.

Are you done? Come with me.

- Chen Guangpu, let go! - Come.

Guangpu.

Stay. I'll talk to her.

Let's go.

Chen Guangpu, let go!

Let's talk out there.

Chen Guangpu, let go.

You're hurting me.

I wasn't done! What are you doing?

What's wrong with you?

It hurts! What's your problem?

He Xindi, I've been putting up with you.

Listen.

Lin Tuo didn't

cheat on An Zhique.

I won't let you off

if you ever

slander him again.

Get lost.

Was she telling the truth?

So why did you break up with Que?

Why did she say that?

And why are you asking for days off?

How did you get hurt?

What's going on?

Just stop, Senior.

He got ill.

His right hand is failing.

Guangpu.

His right hand is failing.

Like this.

Like this.

Chen Guangpu.

Why are you still trying to hide it?

Seriously?

When are you going to

tell them the truth?

When your left hand

fails as well?

When you're in a wheelchair?

Do you enjoy being misunderstood?

Have some water.

Have some water.

Senior.

Do you think

there are gods in the world?

If...

If there are,

take me to worship them

and ask them to save Lin Tuo.

Only a human can save Lin Tuo.

No matter how bad

or difficult it is,

we have to help him.

You hear me?

Anybody?

Please.

Please save my buddy.

Save Lin Tuo.

I beg you.

I beg you.

Sister, what's wrong with them?

Isn't it obvious? They're fighting.

Are they in a relationship?

Do you think it's possible?

I think

Guangpu kind of likes Xindi.

Xindi likes Senior.

Senior likes you.

How did you figure it out, kiddo?

What's so hard about it?

Isn't it obvious?

Don't say that it's dramatic.

It's very common among friends.

You're attracted to each other.

Tell you what.

We have a circle here.

It's the same in that restaurant.

The chef likes the waitress,

who likes the manager,

who has a wife.

How do you know?

We talk when we take the trash out.

Who do you like?

Don't tell anyone else.

I kind of like the girl from the lemon tea place.

No wonder you always get things there.

You should have told me.

I know her. Let me introduce you.

No rush.

It has to happen naturally.

Good luck.

He Xindi.

Why did you delete my game account?

How dare you?

Stand there. Explain it.

They'll end up together.

You'll see.

Mom, Dad.

I know you're thinking about retiring early

to look after me.

I totally understand.

But it's going to be a lengthy progress.

I don't want to live like a dying man

when I'm still able to take care of myself.

I hope you can treat me as a normal person.

If I need someone

to look after me one day,

you can take over from there.

Right?

I'd like to savor the rest

of my healthy days.

I'd like to keep working.

It's not time to give up yet.

That's right.

You're a grown man. So act like one.

That's right.

Do whatever you want.

Your mom and I will support you

and respect you.

We are

going back tomorrow.

Call us if you need something.

Go back.

I'll stay a bit more.

He's a grown man.

He's alright.

He got this.

Come with me tomorrow.

Are you serious?

Don't you see his right arm?

He can't even get dressed.

I won't disturb you.

You can go to work.

I'll just cook for you.

Mom.

My left hand is still working.

I won't starve.

Yeah, that's it.

We'll go home tomorrow morning.

Dig in, Mom.

Isn't it the semi-finals

of the Champions League?

- Yeah. - Dig in.

Hurry up.

Chen Guangpu.

What's going on?

You're leaving?

Listen.

I signed the contract for a year.

Am I going to pay the rent

by myself?

When did I say I was leaving?

But you...

What's that for?

Why do you care?

Who are you to me?

I'm your roommate

and business partner.

How come you forgot that

when you deleted my account?

Chen Guangpu.

You're turning against me for a stupid game?

Remember how you dragged me out in front of Senior?

How am I going to face him?

You started it.

He Xindi.

Let me be clear.

He doesn't like you.

He likes An Zhique.

It's pointless for you to be so sticky.

Wake up.

Who says I like him?

I just admire him, okay?

Who says I want to date him?

We're just friends.

Fine, move away.

Get all your stuff. Get out of here.

- But you're still paying the rent. - I...

I'm going on a date.

You know I have many pursuers, right?

Yeah.

No, I don't.

I didn't.

But now I do.

Good.

I'm never in need of a boyfriend.

All my pursuers are either rich or handsome.

I'm single only because

I'm too busy building

my career.

That's why I'm not seeing anyone.

You get it?

Y-Yeah.

Good for you.

Que just broke up.

She's not ready to see anyone.

Both of us are staying single for now.

We won't get married before 30.

Alright, I'm leaving.

- Please step aside. - Okay.

Have a nice time.

- Bye. - Bye.

What's wrong with her?

I don't know what happened to her.

She came in and said

she'd stay single

with me forever.

All guys are untrustworthy.

She fought with Guangpu.

That's a sign of them falling in love.

Ignore her. She's always like that.

What would you like?

An Iced Americano. Takeaway.

- Okay, just a second. - Thanks.

- Mom. - Did you have breakfast?

Not yet.

I'll have breakfast

with Senior.

Alright.

Thank him for me.

Got it.

I'll go wash up.

Wait, your dad is coming.

It's our son.

Alright, go ahead.

Dad.

- How's it going? - So far so good.

I-It's raining here.

How's the weather in Chongqing?

It's not raining.

Just cloudy.

- Get an umbrella with you. - Okay.

- Morning. - Senior.

Let me.

You sure you won't tell Que?

Yeah, I'm sure.

It's only a matter of time.

The later the better.

Maybe after she starts dating

someone else.

Even if she finds out then,

it'll be over.

How do you know she wouldn't accept your illness?

It's me who can't accept my illness.

And I hate to implicate her.

It's just dating after all.

Why should I force her, in her 20s,

take care of a sick person like me?

But she deserves to know.

At least, she gets to choose,

unlike what's happening now.

She thinks you've

abandoned her.

How is she supposed to accept that?

Senior.

Think about it.

What should Que do

once she finds out?

If she chooses to stand by me,

she'll have to take care of a disabled man.

If she chooses to leave,

she'll be burdened with the guilt of abandoning me.

It's a disaster for her no matter what.

I've thought about it carefully.

I've also considered finding an excuse

to break up with her more naturally.

But she's going to get hurt anyway.

I'd rather keep it simple,

like what I'm doing now.

Can you understand, Senior?

Yeah. Sit tight. Let's go.

Your legs are fine.

But

you have to gradually avoid walking alone,

just in case you fall again.

Safety measures are important.

Use the wheelchair
