Forever and Ever
Episode 15
Mr. Mei.
Come on in.
Something to drink?
I'll have some
- Wisk... - Sorry.
My assistant took all the liquor.
There are only drinks.
In the fridge.
It's fine then. I'm not thirsty.
Our families are old friends.
You and I
should have been friends a long time ago.
In my opinion,
it's the most convenient
for you and me
to maintain this working relationship.
I haven't had a chance to read
the files your secretary sent yet.
If that's what you're here for,
then you're bound to return empty-handed.
Is there a problem
with my project?
Or
Have you found any loopholes?
If you are afraid that there are loopholes,
you can have your legal team
go over it again.
I don't mind.
Anyway,
I'm too busy now to read it.
Then I'll keep waiting.
I won't take anymore of your time.
By the way,
there's one more thing.
Go ahead.
My assistants didn't know how to behave.
If they have offended you in any way,
please forgive them.
It's nothing.
My lawyers
also
always strive for efficiency.
They can sometimes be unkind.
So if they
offend you in any way,
please forgive them too.
By the way,
I hate troubles.
I hate it when people drag me into trouble.
And I very much hate wasting time helping people.
I'm not a compassionate person.
So I don't have many friends.
Zhousheng Chen
is one of my few
best friends.
Furthermore,
he is the most important one.
My eldest brother is lucky.
So if something happens to him again in Bremen,
I'll definitely blame you for that.
He's of good character.
I am not.
He is tolerant.
I'm definitely not.
You remember this.
Mr. Mei.
I think you have a wrong impression of me.
You are the only person
who's had a conflict of interest with him
during these several years.
It's only natural to be suspicious of you.
Then let me give you a serious answer.
I'm his younger brother.
I'm more worried about his safety
than anyone else.
That's right.
Blood is thicker than water.
He's your own brother.
I won't hold you up.
I'll read your files
as soon as I can.
I'll wait for your good news.
I've been feeding them for a week now
but I still don't even know their names yet.
The one with the big pincers is called sodium chloride.
The other one is called monosodium glutamate.
I know sodium chloride.
The other one, sodium glutamate?
MSG.
Ah I see.
By the way,
the internet at my new place is still not ready.
I want to move the day after tomorrow.
I won't cause you any trouble, right?
No. He won't be back for a while.
Why?
Something came up at the research institute
he works in.
He's not sure when he'll come back.
The two of you only saw each other
a few times after getting married.
Now you have to live apart again.
Don't you think that'll affect your marriage?
We're taking things in stride and getting closer.
Ms. Shi.
You're in danger.
You're numbing yourself and living in your fantasies.
We only live once.
Why make it hard for yourself?
Fine, fine, you're tolerant.
Right.
The finals for the dubbing contest
is set in Wuzhen.
Do you want to go?
You're going to be one of the judges, so what am I going for?
I'm the main judge.
I can take one person with me.
Your professor can't go.
That's why you're begging me to go.
It's free of charge, do you want to go?
Did the organizers book the whole of Wuzhen?
Nothing like that.
They booked a few inns.
The organizers gave me two rooms.
If you go, I'll share one with you.
Fine.
This is going to be a difficult one.
Yes and no.
I'm just curious about Zhousheng Chen.
Think about it.
How could a scientist
with a simple background
who didn't know anything about business
before the age of twenty-eight
suddenly come back
and take the helm of the family business?
If you were asked to take over the family business,
you wouldn't do it?
I read all his papers
to get to know him better.
He's a
real scientist.
He's the real deal.
If he really wanted to inherit the family business,
why would he stay in a lab
and work his ass off for 10 years?
What's the point?
Fine.
You think about it.
I'll go back and catch up on my sleep. I have a headache.
I was busy with work for the past two days
and didn't have time to reply to your messages.
Where are you?
What are you doing?
I just got back from a business trip.
You were so busy that
you didn't even have time to send me a message?
I've been quite busy these days.
I'm sorry.
But I won't be working tomorrow.
I'm going to Wuzhen tomorrow.
To work or to have fun?
Fun, I guess.
Wuzhen.
Wuzhen is a nice place.
I visited that place before.
It's good.
So, are you going with friends?
Yes, my roommate.
Wuzhen.
Wuzhen is really nice.
One of the four ancient towns of Jiangnan.
If I have the chance,
I'd really like to go there again.
You're not working tomorrow, right?
Let's go together.
It's not far anyway.
Aren't you going with your roommate?
Would it be convenient?
She's on a business trip and I'm coming with her.
You can come along
and help me carry my bag.
No problem.
I'll make arrangements tonight
and let you know.
Okay, see you then.
See you later.
Bye, bye.
You're here.
I'll do the introductions.
This is Du Feng.
This is Shi Yi.
Hello.
Your rooms
are not in the same inn as mine.
But it's not far away.
I'll be treating my colleagues to dinner tonight.
Why don't you two come as well?
What's the occasion?
I won a prize last time. So I promised.
Okay.
Let's go to the inn first.
Let me introduce you guys.
These are my colleagues.
Mr. Liu Jin.
The dubber for
the documentary of the Three Qin Lands.
This is Mr. Dong Pei.
And this is Mr. Wan Yongcheng.
My dubbing partner
in "Bones of a Great Man".
You've made such a detailed
introduction, Shi Yi.
Actually, we'll get acquainted
as we eat.
Come on, come on.
Right.
Thanks to Ms. Shi
for treating us to a meal.
Let me introduce you.
This is reporter Hong Xiaoyu.
She's usually a professional too.
Anyway, we are all the same today.
Those who can sit here
are all professionals.
Come on.
Tonight we gather in Wuzhen.
Let's let loose
and just have fun.
All right!
Cheers!
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Let's eat.
Come on, eat.
This is... this is yam, right?
Let me tell you.
When you're done eating,
don't wander around.
Most water towns
are haunted.
What?
Didn't you tell us last time?
The story of the water town in Jiangnan.
There was a man who lived there
that suddenly disappeared.
Then out of nowhere, he came back.
Why would you suddenly bring this up?
Don't you know Shi Yi is timid?
It's not even dark yet.
It's not that bad.
At night it will be.
All right, all right.
Let's eat.
How does he know you're timid?
People who have worked together with me for a long time know this.
It's normal.
It's not.
Not at all.
It's very abnormal.
Don't gossip.
One last question.
If your husband
knows someone likes you,
will he be jealous?
I think so.
You
think so?
That's why I said
you should marry someone who
loves you more than you love him.
I can see that you like him a lot.
How you guys got together.
You even agreed to legally marry him
without going through the proper ceremony.
You're too attached to him.
You're a precious heirloom.
But you sold yourself as a pearl at a roadside stall.
What kind of metaphor is that?
It is what it is.
His love for me is better than any ceremony.
He never treated me
like a pearl from a stall.
Zhousheng Chen
I'll take a call.
Come on.
One more.
Okay. Cheers.
Cheers!
Have fun!
Cheers!
We're having a gathering,
it was a bit noisy there.
Then I'll start.
Go ahead.
This morning,
I got up at 5:45.
As I usually do.
But last night,
there was a heavy rainstorm in Bremen.
So the whole balcony
was full of water.
It took me ten minutes
to clean up the balcony.
Then it took me another
ten minutes
to bake a piece of toast,
and warm up a glass of milk.
It was dawn
when I finished breakfast.
I think someone is interested in me.
Wang Yingdong?
How do you know?
I've always known.
Do you want to ask
if I mind?
You can take it as
I do mind,
that's why I want to
keep track of you all the time.
It's also because I mind
so I remembered his name.
Really?
Yes.
What?
Thinking about the wonders of marriage again?
If someone is pursuing your wife,
what would you do?
Wouldn't this solve the problem?
Someone's after your wife?
What's your solution then?
Why is Shi Yi so afraid of the dark?
It's rare to see an adult
to be this afraid of the dark.
It's normal.
After my grandmother got old,
she too refused to live at home by herself.
She either had someone with her,
or she went to her children's home.
There must be a story behind this.
Were you taking a random guess?
Was I right?
She
dreamed a lot ever since she was a child.
All her dreams were about wars.
After this went on for some time,
she began to fear the dark.
She didn't like to be alone.
And she didn't talk to the others.
She even went to see a psychiatrist.
But,
they didn't find anything wrong with her.
Then she took two years off from school
and got better when she came back.
But she's still afraid of the dark.
Of course,
she much better now than when she was a child.
But my mother said
maybe it's because she is
born artistic
and is more sensitive to stuff.
She is very good at Chinese painting.
In junior high school, she was one of
the best Guzheng players.
After she graduated from junior high school,
she didn't want to practice Guzheng anymore
and started to learn Guqin.
She won many more awards for that too.
She seems pretty capable.
What?
You seem
particularly interested in her.
No, I was just asking.
Shi Yi is married.
I know, you told me.
I'm telling you.
I have a thing about acting morally.
I'm only interested in unmarried women.
Shi Yi
You're still awake at this hour?
I had a dream.
The same dream
repeated over and over again.
I knew I was dreaming.
But I just couldn't wake up.
I could only watch it.
A nightmare?
Yes.
Those water towns
more or less have stories with them.
I've heard some of folklores
before.
But I didn't believe them.
Are you too tired during the day?
Maybe.
Who is it?
What's wrong?
I heard some strange noises.
Could it be like what you said?
Filled with stories?
Sometimes
the more you fear, the more you get what you fear.
Try to sleep now.
If you can't sleep,
I can keep talking with you.
Would I not disturb you?
No.
You said you had a dream,
what was it about?
I dreamed
I was copying the names of famous teas in the past.
Can you recite them?
The tea of the Tang Dynasty.
I know some of them.
For example...
For example?
Do you want me to recite the names of teas for you
to put you to sleep?
I want to hear your voice.
You're the one
with the soothing voice.
I'm just a researcher.
There is nothing special about my voice.
It's not good either.
I'm afraid that after a long time,
you will get tired of listening to it.
No, I will never in this lifetime.
Then I'll try to name some.
Okay?
Monti.
Purple Bamboo Shoots.
Small group of sacred springs.
Bright moon in the blue stream.
The dewy buds of Fang Mountain.
Nong Lake contains cream.
Xishan White Dew.
Huoshan Yellow Bud.
Wuzhou Dongbai.
Qimen Square Tea.
Duijiang thin slice.
Herb Gate Duanhuang.
Yashan cross grain.
Tianzhu tea.
Xiaojiang tea.
Hatakeng tea.
Riding fire tea.
Juyuliao.
This is pretty much it.
Do you want to hear more
from other dynasties?
Shi Yi?
You're asleep?
Good night.
I think about changing your room.
But you must still be afraid.
How about I stay with you
for the next several days?
Okay.
Then you can move in tonight.
I'm so puzzled.
If you were scared,
why didn't you call me?
Someone called to put me to sleep.
Does the chemistry professor care much for you?
The competition is about to start. Let's go.
Wuzhen Drama Dubbing Competition
Hello, teachers.
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
What I prepared today
is Ms. Shi Yi's masterpiece.
A clip from "Bones of a Great Man".
Challenging the master...
Good for you.
Get started.
That day,
at the daybreak of the long night,
the armies march together.
With the signal smoke as background,
the yellow sand filled the sky.
He stood on a high platform,
looking down on the army.
With a wave of his hand,
seven hundred thousand soldiers
kneeled before him.
This is the real Zhousheng Chen.
The Junior Prince of Nanchen
with thousands of courtiers and 700,000 troops in his charge.
Secular conduct my guide,
remain integrity for good.
Were us of one mind
or did I fall in love?
At that time,
she didn't know these.
She just clung to the bricks of the city wall,
with heart beating like a drum.
Of one mind,
to fall in love.
It took her ten years
to understand these words.
Here, put them all here.
This is the important thing.
These are the clothes made for you.
Chen ordered them from the Wang family.
They arrived yesterday.
I just brought them here today.
He said you have your own style
of fashion.
There's no way to specify what to do.
So these are all home clothes.
Everything
from inner wear to formal wear.
The material feels really nice.
Your husband's cousin is really good to you.
He brought a lot of things here.
I've also prepared something for your colleagues.
All of Shi Yi's colleagues.
Thank you.
Such a good kid.
It's Chen's idea.
He said she was on a business trip.
If I only
prepared stuff for her,
it'd be impolite.
Shi Yi.
Can I take a look around?
Go ahead.
Lian Sui.
Why the sudden visit?
I don't know.
This morning Ren said you were in Wuzhen.
He didn't even give us
time to prepare
and just came straight here.
Right.
In fact, he also prepared a cook for you.
It wouldn't be nice to say it in front of your colleagues.
If need be,
you can get the cook to make you something nice.
Are you not happy?
Don't you miss us?
I miss you every day
and look forward to you coming home soon.
I do.
I'll go clean up first.
Ren.
I'll go back later.
Are you coming with me?
No.
I'll stay here.
You'll stay here?
What if
they are busy with work
and don't have time to take care of you?
Shi Yi.
When will you finish your work?
I need to go to the finals later.
After that, I can keep you company.
Can I come along?
Yes, you can.
But I don't have time for you.
Meilin.
Could you help me
take care of him.
The higher-ups are coming today.
I need to entertain them.
Then give me a ticket. I'll go on my own.
On your own?
That's right.
Don't you try to follow me.
I don't care.
I'll go then.
Shi Yi.
I'll stay here and read.
You do your work.
I won't bother you.
Okay.
Why do I feel like
a parent?
The emperor died in the Palace of Changle.
After the death of the emperor,
seals were given to the vassal princes and kings.
The Junior Prince of Nanchen...
Shi Yi, are you writing about
the Zhousheng Chen
from ancient times?
You know him too?
Yes.
He's in my family tree.
He was a traitor.
But he's pretty admirable.
Admirable?
He was with the crown princess,
isn't that cool?
Who was the crown princess?
She basically would become the future empress.
Yet she gave up everything
and jumped off the wall
for him.
Don't you think he's a cool guy?
That's true.
I heard from my mother
Chen deliberately
took his name.
So I became
more interested in him.
It's a pity that there's little information.
Yes, there is very little information about him.
And all the records said he was a bad person.
A traitor, a sycophant, a treacherous minister.
So you want to write
what you know about him?
I'm writing it for myself.
Just like you.
Chen was named after him,
so I'm so interested.
Then, after you finish it,
can you show it to me?
Sure.
But you have to finish reading this first.
Okay.
The Junior Prince of Nanchen refused to cry when he got the seal.
He said, "The seal is smaller."
"I'm afraid there have been changes in the capital."
Ren, it's time to go.
You should let Shi Yi rest.
Good night, Shi Yi.
Sleep early.
Leaving now?
Good night, Meilin.
Good night.
I almost thought
he was going to stay here
and keep chatting until dawn.
But don't you think
he is such a good boy
when he's reading a book?
How come?
I have a feeling
Zhousheng Chen was like this too
when he was a kid.
I should get used to it.
What's wrong? You don't want to leave yet?
Are you thinking
if you were a girl,
you'd be able to stay overnight?
You don't understand.
Chen is worried about Shi Yi.
Otherwise
he wouldn't have asked me to come here.
Besides,
there is someone interested in her living here.
Though he's not a threat.
You guys
should work hard
and pay attention to the situation here.
Yes, sir!
He'll definitely become a jealous lover
when he grows up.
I'm going to meet
the winner this afternoon.
I can't take you there.
If you don't want to go home,
you can stay here and do your homework.
Is that okay?
Shi Yi.
I found that you're better at peeling mangosteens
than average people.
Don't we all do it like this?
The technique looks the same.
But because you're beautiful,
it's like an art when you're doing it.
You brat.
Congratulations.
You've got three more students.
They all want you to be their teacher.
Which one would you take?
I'll take your advice.
♫ Give me your smiling ♫
♫ Corners of mouth and eyes ♫
Excuse me, please pull over.
♫ Give me your bright and shining ♫
Okay.
♫ Early spring and late autumn ♫
♫ Give me your untouched ♫
♫ Innocence and freedom ♫
♫ Give me your most precious ♫
Mr. Zhou, it's been a long time.
♫ All that I have ♫
Hello, Meilin.
Thank you for taking such good care of Shi Yi.
Since your husband is here,
we'll leave you two alone.
♫ Give you my undying love ♫
See you later.
Bye-bye.
♫ Long and lasting ♫
♫ Give me your hands ♫
♫ In the years to come ♫
♫ Give you maturity and you give me accommodation ♫
When did you come back?
Why did you suddenly come back?
♫ Will we age like this ♫
What about all the issues over there?
I've dealt with everything.
I
Arrived in Shanghai this morning.
I was afraid something
might happen to you here alone.
♫ Give me your smiling ♫
I've pretty much
done with the things.
♫ Corners of mouth and eyes ♫
Including the research and my return to China.
Your return to China?
Is there some kind of trouble?
♫ Give you my intense ♫
♫ Longing and tenderness ♫
No.
My former colleagues
were so sad to see me go.
They tried so hard to keep me.
♫ Give me your untouched ♫
That's all.
♫ Innocence and freedom ♫
What other questions do you have?
♫ Give you my insignificance ♫
One more thing.
♫ All that I have ♫
Did you come back this time
partly because
♫ Give you my insignificance ♫
you missed me?
♫ All that I have ♫
Yes, I miss you very much.
So you're not leaving anymore?
I'm not.
Okay.
Why did you
give Wang Yingdong a deliberate look?
To pay my respects to the person that lost.
♫ Time cannot steal memory ♫
♫ Try my best ♫
♫ To locate your trace ♫
Ren is still in my room
doing his homework.
♫ Spring flowers and autumn moon ♫
No need to rush back.
♫ I put them deep down in my heart ♫
Let him take his time.
So where are we going now?
♫ To write you a song and a poem ♫
If we take a left after the bridge
♫ With tenderness and caution ♫
there are places to eat.
There are restaurants and tea houses there.
There's also a street that specializes in selling
small pastries and other things.
♫ To rewrite the ending of what happened in our preexistence ♫
If you go to the right,
there's a memorial hall
and a dye house.
♫ And resume our story ♫
Where do you want to go?
How many times have you been here?
♫ You show up in my dream, ♫
You seem so familiar with the place.
I haven't been here before.
♫ Gradually getting clearer ♫
I knew you were staying here,
so had someone
♫ 1,2,3,4, when the heart ♫
send me a map of the place
ahead of time.
♫ Starts to beat ♫
♫ I compose a rhythm of love for you ♫
It's true.
♫ To be with you till the end of the world ♫
Protected Unit
I know it's true.
Well.
♫ And be your lifelong companion ♫
You'll always do
what ordinary people don't do.
♫ When every minute and second ♫
Is it weird?
♫ Becomes more valuable ♫
It's a little cute.
♫ Because of you ♫
♫ I start to know what a heartache is ♫
What about my hotel in Xi'an?
Have you seen its floor plan?
♫ Forever and ever is like a dream ♫
I didn't see that one.
Our relationship at the time
♫ And I am still hugging you ♫
was not the same as now.
So I'll never see
what I shouldn't see.
Trying to act proper, huh?
Here.
Why is no one keeping watch?
What if it rains?
They probably
went to have lunch.
Let's help them
keep an eye for a while.
In case of a sudden rain,
we can help them.
It's a pity if they got wet.
It would become wasted effort if the dye came off.
Sure.
I suddenly thought of
a plot of a movie.
I did dubbing for it in the past.
Let's hear it.
Qingcheng was under siege.
The Junior Prince of Nanchen led 10,000 cavalry,
travelled day and night,
and came to reinforce the city
against 130,000 enemy troops.
Twenty days later,
reinforcements arrived at the city.
The Nanchen courtiers did not expect anything.
But suddenly, they saw dozens of
long, raven-colored fabric hanging
on the city wall.
In tatters,
they fluttered in the strong wind.
The grey banner
was the banner of the Junior Prince of Nanchen.
The cloths flying around
on the walls of the city
tell the courtiers
this city has not yet been breached.
Two hundred thousand reinforcements
shouted and cheered at once
with a loud and clear voice.
This is the great victory of Qingcheng.
I feel like I've gone back to my childhood
listening to your story.
When I was little,
there wasn't much entertainment.
Grandma had dry eyes
and couldn't watch much TV.
So every evening,
we listened to
the radio anchor telling stories.
Dry eyes?
Is she better now?
She has many minor illnesses.
It's hard to recover.
Plus, she's getting older.
Maybe a good rest
is the best medicine.
It's raining.
It's raining. Hurry up and collect them.
Hurry up and collect them!
We'll give you a hand.
Thank you.
They must've been on a date here.
Look.
They are embarrassed already.
How interesting having a date here.
There are fabrics obscuring people's view.
They can be comfortable here.
Watch out.
Did you guys come back by boat?
I was worried
you guys would get caught in the rain.
It's raining so hard.
Are they not back yet?
Weren't you guys together?
No.
I had something to do so I came back first.
This is...
This is my husband.
Your wife is on a business trip, but you've travelled here to see her.
I happen to have some free time.
Good.
Here, take the umbrella.
No need, it's near.
We'll run over there.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Let's go.
Young people are so romantic.
Ren.
I'll take my leave.
He knew you're back?
You told him without telling me.
No wonder he knows.
Your luggage has been brought here.
What did you
call me just now?
I forgot.
Did I say something?
What are you working on?
The temperature.
I'm afraid
you'll catch a cold.
♫ In the memory ♫
♫ The snow-covered city tower ♫
♫ When your name rings out ♫
♫ Finally blooming again ♫
♫ Like a flower of the soul ♫
♫ The dreams that have accompanied me through the light years ♫
♫ I know that with just one look ♫
♫ I can be sure it's the end ♫
♫ Not afraid of falling ♫
♫ Running to the world with you ♫
♫ 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 ♫
♫ Those familiar eyes ♫
♫ 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 ♫
♫ When our story became history ♫
♫ In another world ♫
♫ There are another ♫
♫ Pair of longing eyes ♫
♫ Have been waiting ♫
♫ For that everlasting romance ♫
♫ The poem I'll continue to write ♫
♫ With your name in each line ♫
♫ If it started all over again ♫
No need to turn the temperature up so much,
♫ I'd still remember our love ♫
you'll sweat later.
♫ It took ♫
♫ Hundreds of centuries ♫
♫ For our love to begin ♫
♫ There's no way it'd end ♫
