Episode 14
Have you told her?
The sooner I tell her,
the more I'd worry.
I won't say anything until the delay is confirmed.
And you?
What's going on?
Are you drunk again?
Everybody has his own problems.
You can't help with mine.
So, don't ask.
Let's go.
It happened all of a sudden.
I don't think it was a coincidence.
It boils down to one thing,
to stop you from going back home.
I even skipped my lunch
for your live streaming.
Thank you so much!
I'll take you out for something nice after you are back!
I'll count on that!
You bet!
Bye-bye!
Miss Shi Yi.
What a coincidence!
Not quite.
I've been in Bremen for a week.
And I hoped I could meet you.
Your brother didn't mention anything.
He didn't?
Maybe he was afraid that you'd misunderstand.
I'd misunderstand?
About what?
He and my wife…
Your wife?
You may not know
that my brother was once engaged
with my wife Tong Jiaren.
It a was long time ago.
And because of that,
Jiaren had been following my brother's steps
during her schooling years.
They were like
childhood sweethearts.
But for some reasons,
their engagement got canceled later.
And then
she married me.
The things happened in between
were quite complicated.
You can ask my brother
if you wanna know.
My wife is as devoted into science
as my brother.
Honestly,
I don't quite understand them.
I'm as lonely
as you are.
I'd usually take a walk
in this neighborhood when I'm alone.
This
should belong to you.
I cherish
my marriage very much.
I don't want to ruin it
because of their relationship in the past.
So, I hope you can also keep it
to yourself.
Don't make a big deal out of it.
But it's got to be solved.
See you.
April 7
And that column, too.
Excuse me.
Is it here to pay the parking fee?
- Yes. Please register first. - Yes, it's here.
Register first, please.
Take a seat.
What a small world!
Here. I'm done.
Please scan this QR code
after registration.
Okay.
Du Feng, Room 1106, Building No. 4
Just got off work?
You haven't had dinner yet, have you?
You cook yourself?
Yes.
Then I'm leaving.
Go ahead.
Don't make your family wait.
Nobody's waiting for me.
My roommate isn't home.
I'll eat by myself today.
You share an apartment with your friend?
To be exact, it's her apartment.
She's my landlord.
What about you? Live alone,
or with your girlfriend?
I share the apartment with my buddy.
See you.
Could I have your WeChat?
You can contact me
if you need any help,
since we live so close.
Sure.
I'll scan your code.
Okay. Bye-bye!
I forgot to tell you
that my name is Du Feng.
As an old friend,
I need to remind you
that your husband…
I've signed a separation agreement
with him.
I haven't told others.
I don't think he did that.
But an investigation
is still necessary
according to the rules.
It's an absurd accusation,
but he's willing to cooperate
and accept the financial investigation.
You are back.
You are eating?
I met your younger brother today.
He came to you?
Did he give you
this ring?
Did he also tell you the relationship
between Tong Jiaren and me?
How much did he tell you?
Should I
tell you more?
You are not afraid that I'd be upset?
I believe
that you can make the right judgment.
Is this the ring you lost?
Yes.
No one would be that stupid
to give the ring engraved with a wedding date
to someone as a gift.
Perhaps someone found it and gave it to Tong Jiaren,
and then your younger brother misunderstood.
I'm glad you can think of it this way.
Don't you wanna explain it to him?
No need.
There's nothing that I should explain to him.
I've known Tong Jiaren
since childhood.
We went
to the same school
and studied overseas together.
Then we became colleagues at the same institute.
We worked together
once in a while.
Later,
her elder sister married my uncle,
so our engagement was canceled.
After that,
I don't know
what happened,
but she got married with Wenchuan.
Her elder sister?
She's Ren's mother.
But I've never seen her at home.
Ren's mother
passed away when Ren was only
a few years old.
Shi Yi.
Before, I didn't give much thought
to my marriage.
I only followed my family's arrangement.
If I did anything wrong,
or I made you unhappy,
please forgive me.
It'd be unreasonable to have you
apologize for the things happened in the past.
My grandma called me last night and told me
love was much more important
than reasoning
between a couple.
She reminded me
that if I made you angry,
upset, or sad,
it'd never go wrong
to apologize first.
She knows that I'm here?
Yes.
Why are you staring at me?
You are really not angry?
I'm really not!
Who's your
best friend in Germany?
My best friend
in Germany
is my former roommate.
Why don't we invite him over?
I wanna meet your friend.
Sure.
Does he like Chinese food?
Have you cooked any for him before?
He does.
I used to cook
all kinds of noodles for him.
You make our Chinese cuisine
sound so monotonous!
Wait for me.
Shopping list!
Beef, tomato, potato, onion, peanuts, green pepper, pork belly, carrot
Are they hard to find?
They are all common groceries.
I just noticed
that your handwriting
is really nice.
I asked you to check the items,
not my handwriting!
Let's go! Come on!
Let's go shopping!
Mr. Zhou.
All the documents that you signed
have been rejected.
All of them?
Yes.
They won't proceed the payment
unless they are signed by Mr. Mei.
But
today is the due day for the payment.
Where's my brother?
In his apartment.
This is from Mr. Zhousheng.
He said
the documents must be signed by Mr. Mei
no matter how urgent the project is.
There's no room for negotiation.
This
should belong to you.
April 7
Don't you wanna ask me
something about him when he was in school?
We were taught
by the same professor.
And he taught me Chinese.
No wonder your Chinese is so good.
It's made of meteorite, isn't it?
You can tell?
This is our expertise.
I can tell that at one glance.
It's a gift from Zhousheng Chen, right?
He told you about it?
Nah.
There's no way
he'd tell anybody about this.
But as his old classmate,
I can guess it.
Why?
The graduation gift
that his most respected professor gave to him
was a piece of meteorite.
He even made a joke and said
his Chinese wife often told him
that one of the most romantic
lines in China was
"I'll pick a star for you
as a gift."
So, the professor asked him
to save it
for his future wife.
Here. Have some fruit.
Alright! Thanks!
What is it?
Your friend said
you were a very popular
playboy in the college.
We have a guest now.
But I need an explanation tonight!
Here's something else about him.
Before graduation,
he buried himself in the lab every day.
He only stayed at school
and completely isolated himself
from the outside world.
I helped him
find this apartment.
Watch out.
It's a new apartment building.
The rent is cheap,
and it's close to the institute.
The only problem is
that we have to pay six months' rent in advance.
It's okay.
I've never used my scholarship.
It should be enough.
Really?
Good for you!
Which room do you want?
I don't care.
Then I'll have this room.
You take that one.
Okay.
Alright?
Okay.
Let's go unpack.
See you later.
From bachelor's degree to master's degree,
none of your family has ever visited you.
I think at least
someone should come for your doctorate.
I'll lend you the travel fee.
Seriously! I have money.
Though you've never said anything,
everybody can see
that you aren't well off
since you seldom go out for fun.
Thank you for seeing me as a friend!
But I really don't need your help.
I have my scholarship.
Alright! Cheers!
To friendship!
We thought
he didn't date
because of his financial situation.
But Tong Jiaren told us later
that he's actually from
a wealthy family.
He just has no material desires.
Well, it's time to go.
It's rare for you to be together.
I'll disturb you no more.
I've told her
about the meteorite story.
No need to thank me.
Why did you give me this that day?
Anything special about it?
Nothing special.
It's just a gift?
Just a gift.
If there's anything
special about it,
it's that the first iron tool
was made from meteorite.
Is that special
enough?
What?
You want me
to keep the origin of the Iron Age in mind?
Come on. I'll take you to a place.
Where?
You don't have to work tonight?
I want to
take some time
and spend with you today.
Welsh Black Beer
Wait here for a moment.
Welsh Black Beer
Shi Yi! Are you okay?
It's alright! It's alright! Don't be afraid!
I'm here!
Don't be afraid!
She fell asleep?
She must have been terrified.
She was alone
in the car.
If I had been with her,
it could've been better.
It happened so suddenly,
and it was a strange place to her.
Of course she'd be scared.
I've sent a lawyer to the police station for some information.
She's only been here for a few days,
and something happened to your lab work.
Have some warm water.
Still thinking about things happened earlier?
I don't want to,
but it keeps coming to my mind.
It was just an accident.
There was a mansion
near the florist we went to.
Two logistic companies
holding standing contracts
with the stores
in the mansion had a conflict.
It was just wrong place,
wrong time for us.
I was going to buy you
a dried flower bouquet
to thank you for cooking dinner.
I have never thought
something like that would happen.
You've been trying to comfort me for a whole night.
Say something else.
There's something
I was going to tell you
after giving you the flower bouquet.
What is it?
The work handover
is harder than I thought.
So, you may
have to fly back home on your own this time.
Then when will you go home?
I'm not sure.
Work comes first. It's okay.
A.S.A.P.?
I promise!
Seems like today is all about bad things
and bad news.
What can I do
to cheer you up?
Sweet talk.
What sweet talk?
Say something sweet to make me happy!
Okay.
That's it?
I'm thinking what I should say.
I'm very pretty, right?
Among all the people
you know,
am I the prettiest?
Or, if you know someone who's prettier than me…
No.
There's no one
who's prettier than you!
♫ One more day with you ♫
♫ Love gets deeper ♫
♫ Making it a poem ♫
♫ Kissing through the long years ♫
♫ Wrapping love around my fingertips ♫
♫ Make a vow in silence ♫
♫ Embrace again ♫
♫ A few forever ♫
♫ Nothing will change ♫
♫ With the same warm sunny day ♫
♫ Give you my true love ♫
♫ Thank you for being there ♫
What are you thinking?
Why didn't you dry your hair?
I had a lot of meetings lately
and I'm way behind in my work.
I'll have to stay up
for work again.
You big nerd!
I'm going to bed.
Alright. Goodnight!
Shall I close the door for you?
No.
Won't I disturb you?
Of course not.
I can hear you
with the door open.
And that makes me
feel relieved.
He really slept in the study?
You are cooking spaghetti?
You get up!
I'm cooking oil-splashed noodles.
With this?
It's all I have at home.
And I'm short of ingredients.
But I'll do my best.
I stayed in an industrial park
for two months
in Xi'an before.
Back then that area was still under construction,
so there weren't any restaurants nearby.
Sometimes when I was busy,
I'd miss my meal,
so I learned how to cook this
from He Shan's mother.
But I could
only learn it over the phone.
As a result,
I failed quite a few times.
But now, I can pretty much
do it right every time.
Wouldn't you be tired of eating this every day?
I can make different flavors of noddles.
I've mastered them all.
Actually,
I learned all these
from the parents
of my students.
None of my students
knows how to cook.
Your cooking looks like an experiment.
Some people would really do experiments
in the kitchen.
What kinda experiments can you do in a kitchen?
There was a chemist
who did experiments in the kitchen.
And he knocked off sulfuric acid
and saltpeter powder by accident.
In fear of being yelled by his wife,
he picked up
the nearest apron,
cleaned everything up,
and hung the apron outside to dry.
He thought he could easily
cover it up,
but his wife
found out anyway.
Because the apron exploded into pieces.
But because of this accident,
he discovered
the first explosive fiber,
cellulose nitrate.
Watching you cooking is so fun!
It's pleasing to the mouth and to the ear!
When you told me you'd cook noodles yesterday,
I thought it'd be instant noodles.
It's true that I used to cook
instant noodles a lot.
But later,
I learned how to cook all kinds of noodles.
Is it because you love
eating noodles?
I just thought it was convenient.
In my opinion, noodles
are the most continent food.
Not only can they
satisfy our appetite,
but also take the shortest
time to prepare.
How pitiful!
Pitiful?
Eating the same food all the time
will lead to nutritional imbalance.
When we go back to Shanghai,
let's eat more vegetables
instead of noodles.
I'll cook for you.
Okay.
Let's go.
Here. Have a taste.
Yummy!
If you weren't a researcher,
you could open a noodle restaurant.
I'm well aware
of my own cooking skills.
You are flattering me.
I like it!
When I…
When I go back home,
let's move in together.
I'll get you a bottle of water.
Here.
Did I put
too much chili?
I'll put less next time.
Uncle Lin said we need
a ceremony to make our marriage formal.
I agree.
Then how about I put
a camp bed for you in the study?
You won't mind, right?
No.
I won't.
You didn't cook anything for yourself?
I've had breakfast.
I usually get up three hours
before you do.
How do you know when I get up?
I paid attention to it when you stayed
at my home.
Makes sense!
Your family eats breakfast at 5 a.m.
When I got up,
they'd already had breakfast.
So tasty!
Here. Your hair drier.
You keep it.
You don't have one here, right?
Hold on.
I'll take this with me.
Is the car here?
Yes.
Then let's go.
Let me help you.
I have something to talk to him.
He told me you'd leave today.
I can give you a ride.
Let's go.
Let's drive her to the airport.
Come on.
Every time I go through the security,
I'd think of the first time we met
at the airport in Guangzhou.
You had nothing else
but one laptop bag,
yet they asked you for a recheck.
That was
the first time ever
I'd been asked for a recheck.
Thank you, security check!
The security check at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport.
Are you thirsty?
A little.
Wait a sec.
I'll go get you a bottle of water.
It's okay, there's…
Why the rush! I haven't finished yet.
Here.
Thanks!
I could just buy one inside.
I just had a sip and I can't bring it in.
It's a waste.
It's okay. I can take it
and drink it on my way back.
We are talking
about a bottle of water before I leave.
I'll save the special words
for the next time when we
get together.
Then I'm leaving.
I'll let you know when I land.
Come home A.S.A.P.
I'll miss you!
♫ Those familiar eyes ♫
Bye-bye!
♫ Lost the past when we shed tears ♫
♫ It won't change ♫
♫ Our fate of encounter ♫
♫ The poem I'll continue to write ♫
♫ With your name in each line ♫
♫ If it started all over again ♫
♫ I'd still remember our love ♫
♫ It took ♫
♫ Hundreds of centuries ♫
♫ For our love to begin ♫
♫ There's no way it'd end ♫
I should have given her a hug.
But I haven't found a chance.
Why am I always like this?
Is the guy on the same flight with her
trustworthy?
Rest assured.
He's been my assistant for years.
He'll make sure she gets back home safely.
My man
has went to the police station for information.
Unfortunately,
there was nothing wrong about it.
All the evidence
suggests that it was
only a random fighting.
You guys were just
two of the victims who happened to be there.
But my instinct tells me that it wasn't that simple.
You must go home immediately.
There are too many
uncertainties if you stay abroad.
When's the earliest can we
get the result of the financial investigation.
30 something working days.
More than a month?
If you want to go back,
I can arrange it for you at any time.
I can't go back without knowing the truth.
I need to wait till the result
of the investigation comes out.
Otherwise,
it'd not only be unfair to myself,
it'd also affect the institute's attitude
toward the future recruitment
of Chinese students.
As a lawyer,
I don't agree with you.
But as your friend,
I respect your decision.
Let's go.
After the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties, the imperial authority…
After the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties, the imperial authority
during the Southern and Northern Dynasties became even shakier.
The real power was in the hands of the generals
with military leadership and the prestigious clans.
Due to the strategic importance of Chang'an,
those who stationed there were seen as a threat to the capital city.
Hanging a tea bag in the closet can keep moths away.
A bachelor like you wouldn't know about this!
Sir.
Would you like to change the sheet?
No need.
Okay.
Thanks.
What are you
puzzling over?
No puzzle, but no answer either.
About natural science
or social science?
How do I put this?
"Marital science," maybe?
