[Advance Bravely]

[Episode 26]

Yuan Zong.

Keep this from my mom for now.

This is severe. Is it even possible to keep her in the dark?

A few days should be fine.

I'll tell her that I have overtime at work.

I'll ask my colleagues to play along too.

Once my injury heals, I'll let her know.

I'm afraid she'll collapse if she finds out.

If you're worried about her, don't get into trouble.

Why are you blaming me?

He ambushed me.

Well, must you fight with him?

If you fled, would this have happened?

He couldn't beat me.

I was about to subdue him.

I never thought he'd pull such dirty tricks.

He even hurled powder in my face.

How many times have I told you?

You have to separate competition from real life.

Don't assume the etiquette of fighters in the arena exists in real life.

When someone is trying to survive, any kind of underhanded means is acceptable.

Ambushing someone is already a shrewd act.

Why treat that guy with respect?

Got it.

I'm the reason he got hurt.

If he weren't so devoted to helping me,

he wouldn't have jumped into this mess.

I'm sleepy.

You should sleep.

Don't hurl things.

Hey, what do you think?

Is my face back to normal?

Almost.

Almost? What exactly does that mean?

It's almost...

...indiscernible.

Really?

Raise this higher for me. I want to sit upright.

What are you doing?

Nothing. I just suddenly thought that you're really special.

- Hello, Aunty. - Son!

Son, let me take a look.

Oh my goodness! Your beautiful face!

- I'm much better. - Where else are you hurt?

I'm not injured. Haven't I recovered well?

What am I supposed to say to you?

Can't you focus when driving?

My car broke down. I can't do anything about that.

Gosh, fine. It's good that you're safe.

My dear son, you scared the hell out of me.

- I'm fine. - My dear son.

Oh my goodness! What am I supposed to do?

I was scared out of my wits! What if you lost your life?

Gosh, Mom. I'm fine.

- I'm much better. - Goodness gracious!

I'll be fine in a few days. Don't worry.

Why are you here?

I'm here to visit him. Can't I be here?

When you enter the ward, don't talk about his face.

Make sure you don't talk about his swollen eye. Got it?

Can I go in?

Son. Here, have a grape.

Mom, I don't feel like eating.

Hey, you need the vitamins.

Oh, Yuan Ru. You're here.

- Hello, Aunty. - Hey.

Come and have a seat.

Sit here.

Don't talk about the swollen eye. Don't talk about the swollen eye.

Don't talk about the swollen eye. Don't talk about the swollen eye.

Don't talk about the swollen eye.

Yuan Ru, you're even prettier now.

Thank you, Aunty. You look very youthful too.

His eye is really swollen.

Xiao, are you feeling better?

Much better.

Look at his face.

Yuan Ru, have a banana.

Thank you, Aunty.

I can't stay here for too long. If I do, I'll say something rude.

Aunty, you must've had a hard time.

- You have to take care of your health. - Okay.

Xia Yao, uh...

Take care of yourself and recuperate well.

- I'll get going. - Okay.

- Oh, okay. I'll walk you out. - There's no need, Aunty.

You can stay here and look after Xia Yao.

- Okay. - I need to get going.

- Take care. - Okay, bye-bye.

Yuan Ru really got prettier. Right, son?

There's an eye check-up in the afternoon.

A check-up? What for?

The nurse said he needs to get that swollen eye checked.

A check for swollen eyes?

Swollen eyes?

Oh my goodness! I didn't notice before you said that!

Your eyes are uneven!

Son, what happened?

Hey, come over here. Let me have a look.

Let me see.

It's pretty serious! This side is much larger.

Yikes, why doesn't my mouth have a filter?

Why did I blabber again?

Are you here to visit Xia Yao?

Yeah.

Hey, when you go in, don't talk about his face.

Make sure you don't point out his swollen eye.

Why are you dictating what we talk about?

My gosh. Who the heck is he?

- Son. - Yeah?

It doesn't hurt as much today, right?

Yeah, I feel much better.

You'll get well in time. Don't worry.

Don't fret. You'll be okay.

Dayu, you're here.

Hi, Aunty.

Come and sit down.

- Aunty. - Yeah.

- Sit down. - Okay.

Mom. Help me wash my change of clothes.

Okay.

- Just these? - Yeah.

Just these.

Have a seat, Dayu.

Didn't you want to sever ties with me?

I thought you couldn't stand me. Why are you here?

I'm here to see the retribution you got.

Someone was even upset.

I was told not to talk about your swollen eye.

Your eyes are already so uneven. Why are you scared of others noticing?

Your eyes aren't just uneven.

Your face is bruised black and blue.

Just like freckles.

Your nose is swollen too.

Even your philtrum is shorter.

Your jaw area is swelling on one side.

Want to laugh at something even more ridiculous?

Sure, why not?

What... what's this?

I got injured while sending this to you.

Wh-Why are you giving this to me?

So pointless. What else can it be for?

I'm trying to lift some guy's mood.

He said that I neglected him and my attitude to him is problematic.

I skipped my lunch to buy skincare products for him.

When I got off work in the evening, I rushed to deliver this to him.

In the end, my car broke down.

Forget it.

I don't want to talk about this. It's not worth my concern.

Aren't you here to mock me?

Why aren't you laughing?

Yao'er, hear me out.

- I'm just- - Save it.

I know you like the palm of my hand.

You only appear gracious.

In fact, you're just like a petty old lady at the market.

You're stingy about just a few cents.

Ain't that right?

You said that I kept secrets.

I just called you a while back to beg and coax you.

Some jerk ignored me.

You said that I'm whiny.

Fine, you sure are vicious.

Okay. You're a patient. You call the shots.

Everything you say is right.

Thanks for this.

Why are you standing? Sit down.

I'm punishing myself, all right?

You two! Be careful!

Hey, bro. Want a smoke?

Black is probably crippled. Why keep him around?

Black is such an idiot.

Why did he beat up Xia Weidong's son?

He must be eager to head to his grave.

Have you seen Xia Yao before?

Isn't he the one on the newspapers back then?

That picture was mosaiced.

Have you seen him in person?

Their company came over for an event. I think he was present.

I didn't take a good look. I only managed to take a glance from afar.

Look closer next time.

Is he that handsome?

Doesn't he join the kickboxing competition every year?

I'm an avid fan of that competition.

Bro, we're done loading up the van.

He's never lost a single round.

Get in.

If you guys dare lay another finger on my child,

I will make sure Black Panther Security meets a bloody end.

Fire! Save them!

Fuck!

Hello!

Send two vehicles here to clear the scene.

Don't worry about a police report!

Don't you know what was in my car?
