[Love Endures]

[Episode 4]

Why are you in a hurry?

Jiang Yi.

Didn't you go to the cybercafe today?

I'm busy.

Yi.

Why are you back suddenly?

I missed you

and came back to see you.

I bought takeout

from Jinjiang Restaurant.

It's delicious.

It's still hot.

Why don't you rest?

I'm actually not hungry.

You're not hungry?

Let's eat it later.

Sit down.

Sit.

Take a look

at this.

Didn't they run out of my size

at the shopping mall previously?

You said you wanted to learn how to skate, right?

I have to

fulfill my son's wish.

Thanks, Mom.

When can we go skating?

Yi,

I actually came back

to discuss something with you.

What is it?

Just say it.

I recently

took on a big project for the company.

My superior wants

to send me abroad for a period of time.

When I return, I'll get promoted to the position of team leader.

This is a rare opportunity.

I don't want to miss it.

Well,

no wonder you bought takeout and skates.

So this is what you want to tell me.

No.

I really missed you.

I came back to see you.

We won't be seeing each other

for a long time.

How long will you be gone?

Tentatively,

six months.

When is your flight?

Tonight.

Sure.

Go if you want.

Once I settle down over there,

I'll bring you there.

No need.

Yi,

I've reheated the food.

Come out and eat some.

If you don't come out soon,

I'm leaving.

Yi.

I know

we can't

keep you company every day

like normal parents

and watch you grow up.

But we're

doing this for our family.

You might not get it now,

but you'll understand in the future.

Won't you come out to see me?

I'm fine.

You should leave!

Okay.

Take good care of yourself.

When we're not around,

your uncle will take care of you.

I'll fly back to see you when I'm free.

Jiang Yi,

want to go skating?

Skating?

I don't know how to skate.

We're going

precisely because you don't know how to skate.

They insisted on going,

but I don't know how to skate.

I want you to come so I won't be the worst.

We rookies can keep each other company.

You can choose not to go.

No.

If I don't go,

I'll have to stay at home to do my homework.

I don't have to do my homework.

I'm not going.

Does this still count?

Hey,

are you sure you want to use the wish card

on this?

Yes.

If you remain silent, I'll take it as a yes.

See you at the basketball court under the bridge tomorrow.

Don't stand me up!

Hey!

I haven't said yes yet!

Feet inward...

Like this.

Feet inward.

Feet inward first.

Skate forward.

Skate.

Forward.

Why aren't we moving?

No, no.

Feet outward.

Yes, yes.

Feet outward.

Why aren't we moving?

I know.

Lean forward.

You'll move if you lean forward.

You're moving...

Wait a minute.

Hey,

are you sure you can teach me?

Besides,

we haven't been moving at all.

Of course I can teach you.

I learned it specifically.

Forget it.

I can try it by myself.

Remember the points

I told you.

Lean forward.

Feet inward.

Skate forward.

Go.

Good job, Jiang Yi.

Did you train in secret?

You skate well.

He's talented in sports.

Not really.

Maybe I practiced too many times in my head.

Slow down.

Good job.

You skate well.

Well,

I should teach you.

Come on.

Wait!

What's wrong?

I'm not ready yet!

Relax.

Your muscles are too tense.

Wait a minute.

My feet.

My feet aren't inward yet!

It's fine.

Wait, wait.

Feet inward.

Feet inward.

I'm releasing you.

Feet inward.

Feet inward.

Feet inward.

Feet inward.

Look!

I told you I could skate.

I taught you well.

I was the one who taught you.

Slow down.

Let Jiang Yi join in.

Come on, Jiang Yi.

Go have fun with them.

Ignore me.

Okay. I'm joining them.

Go ahead.

Be careful.

Make way, make way.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I'm perfectly fine.

Look.

I can skate this way.

I'm fine.

Go on, have fun.

Slow down.

Go easy, Mom.

Bear with it.

It hurts.

Didn't you tell me this morning

that you were going to attend Stefanie Sun's fan meeting?

Why did you go skating suddenly?

I suddenly didn't feel like going.

I thought you hated skating?

You're afraid of falling.

If I'm afraid of falling, how would I learn?

Besides,

if I can skate,

I can have fun with my best friends.

It's you.

Why?

What do you want?

This is for you.

I had fun today.

I won't take it.

I'll use mine.

Of course.

If that's the case,

you owe me a wish.

I need to think carefully

about what I want you to do for me.

Sure.

I'll leave now.

Okay.

Mr. Jiang,

I've surveyed this case.

During tomorrow's hearing,

besides showcasing

the initial concept design for this game,

you can also share

your thoughts and emotions

when designing this game.

This way, they will be more convinced

that the game is your creative work.

Do you think

there's a high chance of winning the case?

To be honest,

getting evidence to prove plagiarism is a challenging task.

I've come across many similar cases.

But that doesn't mean we don't have a chance of winning.

Tomorrow's hearing

is the key to it.

What if

I don't show up?

You must be there.

You're the litigant.

If you don't show up

and we lose,

our efforts will all be in vain.

Yingzi,

why are you spacing out?

Dad, you...

Please enjoy the saxophone solo performance.

How was it?

Not bad, right?

You're amazing!

You can join a band.

I'm already in a band.

What is the name

of your band?

Well, Jonathan Lee and Wakin Chau

have a band of middle-aged men.

What was the name?

Superband.

Our band is Crossband.

Crossband?

When can I listen

to Crossband's performance?

Soon.

Mom, you're back.

Yes.

Don't move.

It's rare for you to come home.

I can't let you work.

It's fine, Mom.

During the holidays,

I carried dozens of boxes every day.

Take a break.

What if you pull your back?

I'm fine, Mom.

Let me do this.

Give it to me.

I've carried water my whole life.

My biggest wish

is that in the future,

you'll never have to carry a single box of it.

Give it to me.

Mom.

My biggest wish

is that

you don't have to carry any water, ever.

As long as you live well,

I can do anything.

Come, give it to me.

(Xu.)

You're here.

I see you have new pomelos at the entrance.

Let me pick two.

They've just arrived.

Zhuang Yuan's back.

Hello, Madam Liu.

Your mom talks about you every day.

I heard that you're a doctoral student.

What a promising young man.

There are only a few doctoral students

in the whole of Hangtian City.

You taught him well.

In the future,

you'll live comfortably.

I'm a primary school graduate. What can I teach him?

It was all his own efforts.

Well, you also have contributed to this achievement.

In "The Legend of White Snake,"

even the mother of a top scholar

can get a title.

Zhuang Yuan

rhymes with

zhuangyuan, also the top scholar.

Goodbye.

Okay.

Xu, I'll leave you to it.

I'm leaving.

Come again.

Okay.

Mom.

Stop showing me off in front of others.

What if I fail

to graduate?

There are no "ifs."

I'm still looking forward to the day

when I can see you

in your graduation gown.

I'll be so proud!

(Sir,)

actually, I haven't decided

if pursuing an academic career is the path I want to take.

It's not just about whether you can pursue an academic career or not.

It's a matter of whether or not your thesis can pass

and if you can graduate smoothly,

get it?

I'm not like Guan Chao's dad,

who isn't even showing up

at his son's wedding,

which is such an important event.

Why isn't his dad coming?

I think Guan Chao didn't even invite him.

Ms. Fang,

if there's nothing else,

we're

getting off work.

You're leaving together?

Yes.

We're having dinner together.

Have fun.

Okay, Ms. Fang.

See you on Monday.

Are we not going to ask Ms. Fang to join us for dinner?

Are you crazy?

You can ask her if you want.

I won't go.

Slow down.

There are plenty in the pot.

You've all lost weight.

Did you not eat well out there

or are you too tired?

Of course.

Not getting to eat your wontons

made us starve and lose weight.

Isn't Mingyu coming back?

Mingyu is busy with work.

She hasn't been back in a while.

During New Year,

she was busy with work

and didn't come back.

Grandma,

do you want to see her?

Mingyu.

Grandma?

Yingzi and the rest are back.

You're the only one missing.

Are you busy?

It's fine.

It's good to be busy.

Do take care of yourself

out there.

Don't get too tired.

If you want to come back,

you can come back anytime.

I'll cook wontons for you.

Got it, Grandma.

Mingyu,

you're disloyal.

Even Zhuang Yuan is back.

Why are you not back?

It's fine, Mingyu.

I'll bring the wedding candy to you later.

Got it.

Mingyu.

Look

at this.

It's late.

Are you still working overtime?

It's nothing.

Grandma missed you

and wanted to see you.

You should get back to work.

Bye.

It'd be great if Yifei were here.

Yes.

I wonder if she's doing well overseas.

Grandma,

performing overseas is her dream.

Otherwise,

she'll definitely come back.

I just saw her.

She's in a great condition. Neither fat nor skinny.

Don't worry.

She said

when she comes back,

she'll bring us to watch her performance.

Okay, I won't worry.

You've all grown up.

You're no longer the kids back then.

Of course not.

To you,

we'll always be kids.

Here.

Enjoy your meal.

Okay.

Let me know if you need anything.

Thank you, sir.

Say,

Yang Fan's family is doing well, right?

Why is she marrying Guan Chao?

Who knows?

She insists on marrying him,

but Guan Chao

can only provide a dorm on campus.

Wasn't the house renovated from an old one?

Yes.

Using that as their marital home

is so sad.

Most importantly,

Guan Chao's dad

isn't giving any money.

Will they live a good life?

What does my son getting married have anything to do with you?

Guan,

I'm sorry.

I didn't see you there.

I think you didn't see me on purpose.

Why are you scolding me?

I'm hitting you.

How dare you?

Guan.

Guan.

What are you doing?

Don't stop me!

Yang Fan's call.

I need to answer this.

What are you talking about?

So what if I hit you?

I'm going to kick you!

Dad,

what are you doing?

Is your dad mentally ill?

We were chatting,

but he suddenly came over and hit me.

Chatting? Nonsense!

Dad.

Don't you know?

Dad!

Can you stop?

Dad,

let's go back.

Yes, go back.

Did you know what he said?

Did you know?

Okay...

Are you hurt?

I'm really sorry.

He acts this way when he's drunk.

That doesn't mean he can hit me for no reason!

Are you okay?

His head is bleeding.

How is he fine?

I'm really sorry.

If you need us to compensate

any medical expenses,

please let us know.

Fine, then.

Are you Chen Chen's parents?

Mr. Guan.

Yes, it's me.

Since my son is in your class,

we won't make a police report.

No.

If this happens again,

call the police

and let them handle the matter.

What are you talking about?

Let's go.

Didn't you say the monthly exam was canceled?

Yes,

it was canceled.

But why did Han Dong's son

ask him to sign the exam papers?

I don't know.

You've grown up, huh?

Not only are you failing in your studies,

but now you've also learned to lie, right?

I work hard to provide you with food and shelter,

and this is how you treat me?

Is there anything else you're hiding from me?

No.

I'll give you another chance.

Are you hiding anything else from me?

No. Really.

Let me ask you.

What are you doing in Jiangzhou this weekend?

Were you looking for this?

Give it back to me!

Why are you going to Jiangzhou?

Give it back to me!

Why are you going to Jiangzhou?

You want to find your mom, right?

Your mom doesn't want you anymore.

She doesn't want our family anymore.

What are you doing?

Give it to me!

Move!

Stop dreaming!

If it weren't for you,

would my mom have left?

How dare you talk to me this way?

Was I wrong?

Mom left because you hit her.

If it weren't for me,

she would've left ages ago.

Hit me!

Your abuse destroyed our family!

How dare you talk to me this way?

Say that again!

No one can stand staying with you.

I regretted

not leaving with Mom back then.

Let go!

Stand right there!

Let go!

Mom.

Chao,

what's wrong?

Did something happen?

Nothing.

I haven't called you in a while.

I want to talk to you.

Did your dad hit you again?

No.

I'm taller

and bulkier than him now.

Even if he wants to hit me, he can't.

Good.

How are you doing recently?

I've been working hard.

My 100-meter record has improved by 0.2 seconds.

Besides,

I...

Mom? Mom!

Be good, Xing.

Stop crying.

I'll be there soon.

Guan Chao,

I'll call you later.

I need to go now.

I know you're still awake.

Do you have any shame?

Others have to clean up your mess

every day.

That's enough,

Chao.

Stop talking.

Yang Fan,

someone who pretends to be asleep will never wake up.

You deserve to live in this rubbish dump.

That's enough.

After my mom left,

he never woke up.

Besides drinking and fighting,

what else can you do?

Stop, Chao.

I must be crazy

to care for you.

I shouldn't have cared about you.

Stop talking.

If you want to lie down, don't get up, ever!

Look at you.

You drink and fight every day.

Do you even look like a father?

Guan Chao, stop it.

He knows he's wrong.

Okay, I'll stop.

I'll just ignore you!

(Whether staying at home)

(or outside,)

(it turns out that worries are the norm of life.)

(Time and distance)

(have finally taught us to face such moments alone.)

(However, I often find myself missing)

(the times when we shared burdens)

(and accompanied each other,)

(as well as the little surprises)

(hidden in ordinary moments.)

Ding Ye's book is amazing.

I can't believe it's an alternate reality.

I want to read his new book.

Mingyu,

let's go to the bookstore this weekend.

Jiaojiao,

where is Mingyu?

I didn't see her.

Zhu Baoming.

Where is Zhuang Yuan?

I don't know.

Grandma,

did you see Yifei and the rest?

You didn't come back with them?

No.

They disappeared.

That... That's strange.

I heard

they went to Jiang Yi's house.

Why would they go to Jiang Yi's house?

I don't know.

Got it.

Grandma, I'm leaving.

Slow... Slow down!

Ugh, Jiang Yi.

I told you to change the light bulb but you didn't.

How lazy of you.

Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi?

Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi, don't scare me.

Jiang Yi!

Happy birthday!

You...

You all...

What is this?

Are you happy?

Yes.

Why didn't you tell me beforehand?

I thought you went to have fun

without letting me know.

If we had told you beforehand, would that be a surprise?

Okay.

I thought

I wouldn't get to celebrate my birthday this year.

My mom told me to focus on my studies.

I had no idea I'd be able to celebrate my birthday.

You didn't see her.

She was about to cry

when she was told she couldn't celebrate her birthday.

She said it was fine not to celebrate.

There are 42 people.

You ranked 35th in the exam.

You scored 92 in Math?

I passed.

You're good at comforting yourself, huh?

But I scored well in my language exam.

I scored 138.

That's the only subject you did well in.

Why didn't you learn from Zhuang Yuan?

He achieves first place in exams every year.

How could you compare me to Zhuang Yuan?

Jiang Yi is here.

How could you compare to him?

Jiang Yi,

I didn't mean that.

I was too upset by her results.

Huang Yingzi,

let me tell you.

You won't get to celebrate your birthday this year.

Focus on your studies.

Be steady.

This is my 18th birthday.

Why can't I celebrate it?

So what if you're 18?

You're in senior year.

You need to study hard and prepare for college exams,

get it?

It's impossible to hold a grand celebration

like the past years.

No.

No...

I just want to celebrate my birthday.

There's time. I want to celebrate my birthday.

Talk properly.

What's wrong with celebrating my birthday?

Do you hear me?

Talk properly.

Remember your promise before school started?

You told me, "Don't worry, Mom.

I'll rank in the top ten in the exams.

I'll do well!"

Did you forget?

I didn't forget.

I said that.

Fine.

I keep my word.

I won't celebrate my birthday, then.

Good.

Excellent.

Are you really not celebrating it?

Yes.

When I enter college,

I'll celebrate my birthday every day.

Good.

You don't need to waste money,

right?

(Ande look at her now.)

Does it seem like she's okay with not celebrating it?

For girls,

when they say "it's okay," it usually means it's not okay,

right?

But Jiang,

I didn't know

you knew girls that well.

In the future, you won't have to worry about finding a girlfriend.

Zhuang Yuan,

it's not that Jiang Yi knows girls well,

he just knows Huang Yingzi well.

What do you mean?

Are you saying that I'm not a girl?

I know you well.

Since young,

you're a tomboy who doesn't wear skirts.

Guan Chao,

do you have a death wish?

I didn't mean it.

I swear.

That's tactful of you.

But

where did you get

so many cute words?

Jiang said

you like

shiny stuff.

The three of us

stayed up for the entire night to prepare this.

Unbelievable.

Thank you.

I'm touched.

I like it a lot.

I announce

that the surprise is a success!

Now,

is it time to open gifts?

Here.

This can be installed on the front of your bicycle.

You won't have to worry about the lack of streetlights when riding at night.

Thank you.

It's perfect for my Blue.

You can blast Stefanie Sun's songs

anytime you want.

I'll never have to fight with my dad

for the speaker anymore.

Don't play the music too loud

and disturb me when I play games.

Consider it an honor that my precious speaker

is playing music for you.

Here, look at mine.

Thank you.

Ding Ye's "Noctiluca."

My favorite author!

I know you, right?

Isn't your favorite author

Kafka?

I mean the one who's alive.

Is there a difference?

Of course.

I admire Kafka

for his literary work.

Ding Ye is different.

He lives on earth,

so I always feel like one day I will get to know him.

We'll get to chat.

Perhaps

we can be good friends.

Hey,

Ding Ye might not be willing

to be your friend.

What do you know?

I'm speechless.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

This is big.

Thank you.

What is this for?

Let me tell you.

This is not an ordinary globe.

How is it special?

It...

You'll know in the future.

Thank you.

I will take good care

of this special globe.

Hey.

My gift.

Jiang Yi,

can I borrow your room?

What for?

You'll find out soon.

Hurry.

What is it?

What gift?

Wait here.

Come on.

Why is it so mysterious?

Go in.

Well, what gift is it?

Come on out.

Hurry.

How is it?

Isn't she pretty?

I don't look good in dresses, right?

Of course not!

You're gorgeous!

Huang,

that was great.

Your lung capacity.

Have you been practicing lately?

Not really.

My children are working hard.

We have to

work hard too, right?

Here, have this.

Fang,

is Mingyu really not coming back

to attend Guan Chao's wedding?

She's not coming back.

She's busy with work

and needs to go on a business trip.

Our children have grown up.

Let them make their own decisions.

Yes.

They are adults now.

They are very busy.

But

I believe their relationship won't be affected because of this,

right?

Of course.

They have us as their example.

We're their example.

Actually, instead of worrying about the kids,

shouldn't we figure out a way

to bring Guan to the wedding?

It doesn't make sense for a father to not attend his son's wedding.

If Guan is there,

count us lucky if he doesn't cause a ruckus.

Well,

Guan is hot-tempered.

But

it isn't right that his closest relative isn't at the wedding,

right?

Drink tea.

Six characters.

Look at our Yingzi.

She's almost thirty

but isn't dating

or finding a boyfriend.

I'm anxious.

Whenever I urge her,

she says, "Mingyu is not in a hurry.

Why should I be in a hurry?"

You all

should help me out.

If there are any suitable men,

hurry up

and introduce them to me.

Sure.

There is one available.

Who?

The doctoral student.

Zhuang Yuan?

I remember something.

During the summer of the Olympics,

I saw Huang Yingzi

wearing a purple dress.

She was all dressed up.

I think she went on a date.

I turned back and took a look.

Guess what?

It was Zhuang Yuan waiting for Huang Yingzi

by the side of the road.

Zhuang Yuan?

Hong.

Ling.

I'm exhausted.

Why? What's the rush?

Is Zhuang Yuan around?

No.

He should be with Yingzi and Guan Chao.

Do you need to talk to him?

No, not him.

I'm here to talk to you.

How rare.

Yingzi,

you're up early.

Every morning, I wake up early

to go to work, okay?

Good.

Eat this.

After breakfast, let's go to the cafe.

Why are we going to the cafe?

You don't even drink coffee.

Young people like coffee, right?

Don't ask questions.

You'll find out soon.

I can't today.

I have something else to do.

What is it?

You'll find out soon.

After you're done,

come to the cafe to look for me.

How mysterious.

Okay, then.

Yesterday, I told Yang Fan

I won't be there.

Who told you I came here today

to invite you to the wedding?

If you go,

I'm afraid that you'll get drunk and hit others.

Why are you here, then?

I'm here to tell you

you started a fight at the restaurant yesterday

and need to compensate the owner.

You know that, right?

Mr. Fan said,

as you're neighbors,

he'll only ask you to compensate 1000 yuan.

Nonsense!

Are those old tables and chairs

worth that much?

I'll go talk to him.

Calm down.

I've already

paid him on behalf of you.

Think of it as my wedding gift to Guan Chao.

Also,

the customer you hit yesterday

is the parent of Guan Chao's student.

You know that, right?

How would I know who he is?

Why is this so troublesome?

You broke his nose bridge.

If he informs the school about this,

Guan Chao will lose his job.

It isn't that serious.

He only bled a little, right?

Besides, he also retaliated.

Tell him

to come to me if he wants anything.

Don't trouble my son.

Are you showing concern for your son now?

Don't worry.

The problem is solved.

Why are you here, then?

I forgot.

I'm here to deliver a suit to you.

I bought you a suit.

I thought

you'd be able to wear it at the wedding.

Yet, since you're not going,

it doesn't matter anymore.

I'll just leave it here.

Actually, it's fine if you don't go.

It's not a big deal if you're not there.

But at the wedding,

the bride's family members will be at the main table,

including her parents.

On the groom's side, there won't be anyone.

There might be

a few more gossiping people like those from yesterday.

They will gossip

just like yesterday.

Who gave them the guts? I...

Why? Are you going to fight them?

I...

Mr. Guan,

I know

that deep down,

you actually care about Guan Chao.

You started a fight yesterday

because those two people

were gossiping about Guan Chao

and Yang Fan, right?

If you care about him,

why don't you tell him in person?

What for?

Well, I...

Both of you are funny.

You care about each other

but refuse to say anything.

Yesterday, to take care of you,

Guan Chao didn't even attend the wedding rehearsal.

He didn't say it out loud,

but I know

he wants you

to attend his wedding.

Okay.

I've said everything.

I'm taking my leave now.

You can decide

whether or not you want to wear this suit.

Goodbye, Mr. Guan.

Goodbye, Yingzi.
