Episode 21
Has Shi Yi woken up?
I've informed the kitchen to make something nutritious.
We'll send it to her tomorrow.
She just woke up today,
so it's better for her to have something light.
I want to talk
alone with Wenchuan.
Since you brothers have things to discuss,
we'll take our leave then.
I'll walk you out.
Chen.
What's wrong?
As soon as I got back,
I heard that something happened to Miss Shi Yi.
Does this have
anything to do with you?
Chen, what do you mean?
Are you saying I'm a part of it?
That lake is not deeper than two meters.
Even if a kid falls in,
there will be plenty of time to save him.
Besides,
isn't Shi Yi fine now?
People should be cautious
near water.
It's getting colder with every rainfall in the autumn.
After this rain,
it'll be autumn.
Right.
It'll be autumn.
Qin Wan,
in all these years,
you've been taking care of the family business
on your own.
It's not been an easy journey.
Now that the kids are all grown up,
it's time for you to rest and enjoy yourself.
The kids are older,
but there are also more problems.
So busy that I
don't even have time for you all.
We are family.
Don't say that.
No need to accompany us anymore.
We should go.
Bye.
See you.
Here, have some water.
Thanks.
I think it was
an accident this time.
The boatman is one of Uncle Lin's men.
In other words,
all the workers in the mansion
have been replaced
by Uncle Lin and Uncle Chen.
So there shouldn't be any problems.
I've thought about it.
Let's take this as a warning to him
for what happened to you that night.
If that's the case, then what I did was not
crossing the line.
Shi Yi is up, right?
She is.
By the way,
why is Wenxing in your place?
She had a fever last night
and no one could do anything about her.
It didn't seem proper for me
to go into your mother's yard.
So I asked them
to send her to me.
I know how to
deal with her.
After all,
she grew up under my watch.
Compared to Zhou Wenchuan and me,
you are more like her brother.
Wenxing, what are you doing out here?
Here.
Chen,
I want to see Shi Yi.
You can go tomorrow.
You just had a fever.
I'm sorry.
If I'd known sooner...
I'm sorry.
No one would have wanted this to happen.
You don't understand.
I want to apologize in person.
Right now.
Let her go.
Otherwise,
she'll have trouble sleeping
and it'd cause more problems.
Fine.
Wenxing wants to check on you.
She is downstairs.
Tell her to come up now.
Let's measure your body temperature first.
You're still having a slight fever.
Are you having a headache?
A little.
Anything else?
A slight stomach ache.
Your brain was deprived of oxygen for a while.
So these symptoms are normal
for someone that suffocated in water.
You'll feel better in a couple of days.
Get some rest.
Shi Yi.
I'm sorry.
I should've been more cautious.
I made you jump in to save me.
It was my fault.
I didn't know you couldn't swim.
When they were saving you,
Chen's face turned pale.
He didn't say anything else
but your name
when he was beside you.
I was really scared.
Terrified.
If anything happened to you,
Chen would hate me to death.
He would not.
He loves you.
All right.
It's fine now, Wenxing.
I'm fine, aren't I?
Stop crying, honey.
Both of you
need to rest.
Stop crying.
It'll slow down recovery.
Poor thing.
She can't stop crying.
And Chen can't say the right thing to stop her.
The only person that make her stop
is Meixing.
Wenxing doesn't feel strong now.
I'll send her back.
Go and take care of Shi Yi.
Fine.
Come on.
Let's go.
Chen.
Your grandma didn't
get up today.
We thought she was reluctant to get up
because of rheumatism.
But then she started to talk nonsense.
What's the current situation?
We already talked to the doctor.
The doctor said
that she is just old
so she becomes easily confused.
If anything happens here
with Shi Yi,
call me.
I'll go over now to see her myself.
Sure.
Chen.
You've had a long day.
You haven't rested
since yesterday.
My mom
lives here
on her own.
Thank you for keeping her company.
And about Wenxing,
I know
that you are the most worried one in the whole family.
They are not only your family members,
but also mine.
For me,
family is always worth the effort.
Thank you.
Mom,
Shi Yi
is also my family,
someone close to me.
I don't want her to feel wronged.
Shi Yi...
What Shi Yi wants
is nothing else
but a
normal relationship
with her family.
Granduncle.
You are back.
We made some porridge in the morning.
She didn't feel like eating
and only had a little.
This was just cooked.
Give it here.
You...
What are you doing?
I'll go add a quarter spoon of white sugar.
Having something sweet now is bad, right?
There is also dried meat floss.
Shi Yi likes it this way.
I'll go and get the sugar.
Wait for me here.
Why didn't you have the porridge?
It's too plain.
You should try to have some.
I'll feed you.
It's sweet.
Where were you last night?
I went to go check on grandma.
Is she feeling unwell?
She is better now.
What about Wenxing?
Wenxing is not doing
well now.
Then why did you bring her here to see me?
She insisted.
I couldn't talk her out of it.
A lucky jade.
Right.
A lucky jade.
Please keep me safe.
The other day,
how did you fall into the water?
The boat was turning around
when Wenxing lost her balance.
I wanted to keep her steady
but fell in instead.
You lost your balance?
Maybe I
stood too close to the edge.
It was not flat where I stood
so I tripped and fell.
Here.
I don't want any more.
Lie down with me for a while.
Lian Sui said you barely had any sleep.
You must feel exhausted.
Finish your porridge first.
If I finish the porridge,
you will have to lie down with me.
As long as you eat it all up,
I'll lie down with you.
You are so annoying.
Here.
♫ Time can't steal memories ♫
♫ With all my strength ♫
♫ To find traces of you ♫
♫ Spring flowers and autumn moon ♫
♫ Hidden in my heart ♫
♫ Write words for you ♫
♫ Tenderly and carefully ♫
♫ Rewrite the end of the past ♫
♫ Let the story continue ♫
♫ You're in my dreams ♫
♫ It's getting clearer and clearer ♫
♫ When the heart beats, one, two, three, four ♫
♫ It starts to tremble ♫
♫ The rhythm of love is composed for you ♫
♫ Go to the end of the world with you ♫
♫ And be your companion for a lifetime ♫
♫ When every second of time ♫
♫ Becomes precious ♫
♫ Because of you ♫
♫ I know what heartache feels like ♫
♫ Forever and ever is like a dream ♫
♫ I'll still be with you ♫
It's already dark.
You were too tired.
Take me to grandma's
tomorrow,
will you?
But you have not recovered yet.
You need to rest.
I'm fine.
For real.
Grandma likes me.
She'd be happy to see me.
Just take me.
If you must visit her,
then you might need
to prepare yourself first.
She might not be able
to recognize you now.
She was fine
the last time we saw her, right?
Are you hungry?
A little.
I'll go and cook up something
for you.
Wait here.
Mother.
Auntie.
You look better.
Are you feeling better?
Much better.
I'll be fine after a few more days.
Young people recover fast,
but you cannot be careless.
It's all right to rest for a few months
after going through something so traumatic.
Do not be careless,
got it?
Yes.
Grandma chased me out.
It's better for me to leave.
You guys go ahead.
By the way, Chen.
Grandma is now confused
and thinks Jiaren is pregnant.
Don't burst her bubble.
Make her feel better for me.
All right.
Miss Shi, thank you
for visiting grandma.
Sure.
Your mom's sudden kindness toward me
makes me a little afraid.
What are you afraid of?
I can't tell.
What happened?
Why is she suddenly like this?
Come on.
Let's go in.
I'm too old now.
Who knows
if I can meet the baby?
Of course, you can.
We are counting on you to give him a nickname.
Really?
Your nickname
also came from me.
Right.
How time flies.
Now you are already going to have kids.
Chen.
Grandma.
Who is this?
Grandma.
This is Shi Yi.
My wife.
Nice to see you, grandma.
Wenchuan,
you brothers
barely see each other.
Now that the two of you are here,
why are you two not talking?
Our wives are here to chat with you
and we are good here watching.
Grandma, we came here
to see you.
We juniors have plenty of time
to talk to each other.
Have a seat.
Sit.
A gentleman has three prohibitions.
When he is young and immature,
he should refrain from sex.
When he is an adult and mature,
he should refrain from competing.
He should refrain from competing.
When he is old and weak,
he should refrain from being proud.
You brothers
are now adults and mature.
Remember to not
fight each other
over some lousy possessions.
Not everyone has the luck
to have brothers.
Grandma.
You are overthinking this.
Chen and I are fine.
Grandma,
it won't happen.
They are siblings.
Even if anything happens,
I'm here to help.
Right, grandma.
You are overthinking it.
Shi Yi.
Grandma.
Shi Yi.
It's our first time meeting.
I don't know
what you like.
I have these prayer beads
of 18 Buddha pearls.
I want you to have them.
Let's go and get them.
Grandma,
you have already asked Zhousheng Chen
to give them to me.
Have I?
Yes, grandma.
She already got them.
Good, good, good.
I had been waiting to give them
to my eldest grandson's wife.
Thank you, grandma.
Mrs. Zhou asks you two
to join her for tea tomorrow.
I heard from Wenxing
that you read many ancient books.
Only some.
I think the words and sentences in ancient books
are just beautiful.
What are your favorite ones?
There's no specific type.
I like both the published ones
and the collected ones.
A girl that likes reading.
I like that.
What made you
fall for Zhousheng Chen?
I heard
that you communicated with each other via email for six months.
When you only knew
that he was a researcher
and nothing else,
why did you agree to marry him?
Actually
he has many attractive
characteristics.
For example?
For example,
the day we met each other in Xi'an.
It was a coincidence
and he left
briefly after.
He said
that if the rain stopped,
we'd talk about meeting up.
The rain stopped eventually at midnight
and he really sent me an email
which was very cute.
In the email, he said that it was 4:36am
when he left the lab and it was not raining.
And if it doesn't rain
at 11:30am,
then let's meet at Azure Dragon Temple at 12pm.
It was just an email
but it showed a lot.
It showed that he was disciplined and sincere.
A man that would keep his words.
They are all
the things I like about him.
What if he was faking it?
What if he was pretending so that you would like him?
No way.
During our six months of email communication,
every one of his emails
were like that.
His emails
always make me laugh.
I've never met someone that is so
adorably disciplined.
Adorable?
Everything he does
seems adorable to me.
So adorable
that as long as I'm thinking about him,
no matter how busy work is,
I could never feel tired,
and no matter how annoying things become,
I would never be bothered.
I never thought
that you'd like him
because you think he is adorable.
Tell me more,
your perspective is very refreshing.
As his mom,
I've never seen this side of him.
From you,
I get to know him better.
I asked him
why he would dedicate himself to science.
He said that he wanted
to make more people happy.
It's odd.
I used to hate it
when people say fancy things like that,
but he is the only exception.
As long as it's him,
I'll totally buy it
and believe that's what he thinks.
Not at all would I think he's trying to fool me.
Looks like
you are the perfect girl for him.
However,
I still insist
on my previous thought
that you are not the right person for this family.
You come from a good family,
not very rich or powerful,
but very knowledgeable.
Your parents are happy.
You don't have siblings
or a complicated social life.
You have stable life routines
and stable things to do.
You have regular work
yet it's also flexible.
Is it all true?
Yes.
I stay with my parents on weekends.
On workdays, I read in the morning
and work from noon
to midnight.
All I have to face to are the scripts
and the recording directors.
When I just started to work,
I didn't go to a fixed recording studio...
Later on I got my own studio,
I didn't need to run around anymore,
so there were less people for me to meet.
Besides,
I don't like offline activities,
so I barely attend any.
You've known your coworkers for years
and have several close friends.
Your social circle has always been small and intimate.
I like to put my time
into working and reading.
The rest
I spend it with my parents.
A simple social life
suits me better.
You've made such a
good life for yourself.
You have such a good job.
Why don't you go back
to your own life?
Shi Yi,
listen to me.
A few decades ago,
Ren's mom
passed away from an accident.
To protect Ren,
we decided to tell him about it
several years later.
However,
the entire Zhou family could not let it go.
The fourth uncle even called the police
to investigate me.
It was chaotic.
Until today,
the fourth uncle and I haven't seen each other.
Of course,
the fourth uncle is an honest and decent person,
he was also used by those relatives.
I never really blamed him for anything.
In a big family
like ours,
with so many people.
It's just like a small society.
Where there are both good and bad people.
Some people are good
while some are bad.
Some of them
may not do anything bad,
but they are far from being nice.
They'd only give you a hard time
and wish you a bad life.
It would be fine
if they were just strangers.
Unfortunately, they are your relatives.
What should you do with them?
You don't even like
complicated relations.
Why must you make yourself suffer
and join our big family?
Mom.
You look good.
What are you doing here?
You secretly invited Shi Yi for tea..
So I came to have some as well.
What were you guys talking about?
We were talking about...
We were just talking about Shi Yi's painting.
Mr.Chen is usually
hermitic and proud,
yet he said so many nice things about Shi Yi.
I like that painting too.
Too bad Grandpa Chen got it.
Why don't you paint more one
and we can keep it at home?
Why don't I try to recreate it?
It's very similar.
It's almost 70 to 80 percent alike.
But the feelings are very different.
It looks the same to me.
Shi Yi's painting is more
like the last lotus flower at the end of the summer.
Cold and distant.
While Chen's painting is freer.
It's more like the fresh lotus flower
in a green pond
at the beginning of summer.
My eldest brother is a fresh lotus flower
passionately waiting
for his partner to blossom.
So he is waiting for Shi Yi.
Is it similar?
Yes.
Look at how clean and pure the lotus flowers are.
Look at how clean and pure the lotus flowers are. It should be the same for the heart.
It should be the same for the heart.
Chen,
you are referring to a poem by Meng Haoran, right?
It goes well with this painting.
Look at how clean and pure the lotus flowers are. It should be the same for the heart.
Mother.
There you are.
Did Shi Yi draw this?
Chen drew it.
Chen?
Look at the lotus flower,
it is clean even though it's surroundings are muddy.
He wants to remind himself
that he should not be affected by worldly troubles
and to protect his own heart.
This painting
is for us.
Why is it for us?
He is not good at expressing himself
so this is the only thing he can do.
He is trying to tell us
that he cares about Shi Yi
from the bottom of his heart.
If it's not that,
then how can he
imitate her work so well
from only looking at it once?
Shufeng Garden
Seems like
I am not right for your family.
Neither am I.
Were you like this when you were a kid?
I was similar to you when you were a kid.
Could you get used
to living in such an environment
when you were young?
I could not get used to it and I did not like it.
But I couldn' t get rid of it.
I think blood relations
is the only connection
between people
that we can't get rid of.
I prefer a simple life.
You like Venus
better than Earth
where you live in.
Mars is also acceptable.
Do you regret it?
Suddenly coming back?
Back in Bremen
when you talked about these,
I did not know much about your family.
But now,
it looks like
no one wants you back.
I have no regrets.
No matter how much you achieve,
you should always try your best
to guard the ground beneath your feet.
If you can't,
your people will have no one
strong enough to rely on,
won't they?
Just like the Jewish people in old times.
No matter where they lived
in this world,
without a powerful homeland,
they could lose it all at any time.
You have too many things
stored here.
I'm fine with only occupying a small part.
But,
I want everything that's related to romantic love.
Sure.
It's all yours.
Lin Fei went to the lake
to get this fish this afternoon.
It's fresh.
Medicated diet coming through.
Is this all for me?
Your wife asked for it.
It's supposed to be very nutritious.
Granduncle.
Enjoy the food.
It's very nutritious.
You've been working too hard these days.
You can really use it.
I don't need any.
I looked it up online.
It's good for your health.
Try some.
Fine.
There is traditional Chinese medicine inside?
You had too much when you were young
and you don't like it now?
I don't fancy traditional Chinese medicine that much.
Bitter medicine is good for health.
And it's not even medicine.
It's just food that has medicinal properties.
It's tasty.
Just try some.
Have some more.
It's pretty good.
Where are you going?
Delivering grapes.
How many times are you doing this in one day?
Are you delivering grapes one by one?
Can't you give them some alone time?
I now wish
that they have already passed this passionate phase
and become an old couple
so
That they wouldn't feel bothered by me.
Gee,
he married her
for you, didn't he?
Can you give them some space?
None of your business.
Is something bothering you?
Nothing.
I have been reading, haven't I?
You move around every other minute.
It doesn't seem like you're reading.
I...
You are not working either,
aren't you?
How else could you know
that I was not reading?
How about
we continue this on the bed?
No, let's do it here.
Granduncle!
Granduncle.
Come out for a minute.
I'm going out then.
Something happened.
I'll go and check it out.
You should rest early.
