[Yihe University]
I received postgraduate exam materials this morning.

I didn't expect them so many.

I plan to check them out back to my hometown.

Thanks for helping me.

You're welcome.

By the way, Yifan,

do you want to take the postgraduate exam?

We could study for it together.

I'm thinking of getting a job.

I'm planning to go back home for graduate school.

My boyfriend is still waiting for me.

I see you're alone.

Isn't there someone waiting for you, too?

I just feel

that if I go back home,

I can

be a little spoiled,

and eat and drink with my parents.

How great is that!

It's this one.

Sir!

Could you please open the trunk?

Yifan, just leave it here.

I'll go call the driver.

Sir,

can you open the trunk, please?

Thank you.

So much stuff.

Thank you, sir.

[Episode 21]
[Where is hope?]

[3430 days]

[Uptown Flower City]

[Sang Yan]
I'm working overtime. I'll be back late.

[Wen Yifan]

You've been working overtime for several days.

Take care of yourself.

I've got some food.

Just heat it up and eat when you're back.

I left takeout for you.

Remember to eat when you get back.

[Don't overwork. Take care]

When will you come home?

I left some late-night snacks for you.

I'm going on a business trip tomorrow for an interview.

Wen Shuangjiang,

you're back!

Are you back?

I'm back!

[Sleep early]

[When will you be back?]

[Around two or three]

Hello?

Yifan,

are you at home?

We'll be downstairs in three minutes.

We're coming to pick you up now.

Oh, you're back.

Are you tired?

What about you?

Are you tired?

I have to head out for a while.

Going out again?

There's an unexpected situation.

Let me drive you.

No need.

Ms. Qian is waiting for me downstairs.

I want to drive you.

Hurry and get some rest. It's too late.

What a coincidence, Yifan.

This time, the news

happened near your place.

Didn't you hear the police sirens just now?

No.

What happened?

It's not a big story.

It's just a bit strange.

Be serious.

A car accident isn't a big news story?

And I heard

both the driver and the passenger were injured.

The most shocking part is

the car went straight into a noodle shop.

That's astonishing!

[Dragon King Noodle Shop]

Long,

park the car in the parking lot later.

Don't block traffic here.

Okay.

This is truly unbelievable.

I heard this

is a second-hand car that's almost junk.

The driver, not sure what happened,

drove it

right into the noodle shop

while maneuvering.

Now the person is still in the car.

No one knows how they're doing.

Well,

should this be treated as a joke

or as a disaster news story?

Stop joking around.

Remember this,

you must get a clear shot of the driver's face.

But,

you need to consider the interviewee's mood.

If they don't want to be interviewed,

try to avoid it.

- Is that okay? - Okay.

Go ahead, get to work.

They're out!

What's going on?

It's nothing. I'm fine.

Have you been drinking?

What's going on?

We're just waiting for this shot.

Right here.

What are you doing?

Fortunately, the driver isn't seriously injured.

The damages caused by the man

are initially estimated at 140,000 yuan.

The price he paid is quite high.

This news

was reported by Wen Yifan from Nanwu TV.

Okay, let me adjust.

Did he see me?

Sorry,

I...

I want to add one more thing.

Fortunately, the driver isn't seriously injured.

The damages caused by the man

are initially estimated at 140,000 yuan.

The price he paid is quite high.

This news

was reported by Nanwu TV.

Why are you still awake?

Isn't today Saturday?

I'm about to sleep.

But you

should finish your porridge before sleeping.

What's wrong?

Something bad happened?

I'm so tired. I don't want to move at all.

Then hold me like this,

and you won't be tired anymore.

Drink your porridge first.

It'll get cold soon.

Later, you can hold me however you want.

I'll even hold you while you sleep if you want.

Is that okay?

Sang Yan...

I won't be like before.

I won't anymore.

I'll treat you well.

I won't hurt you again.

I want to be with you every day.

I don't want to see those people from before.

Not a single one.

So, can we

always be like this?

Can you stay with me always?

When you want to talk,

remember to call me.

I want to kiss you.

I'll go rest now.

Wen Shuangjiang.

Does this count as a kiss?

It's not the first time.

So,

I'm not being frivolous, right?

What kind of fate is this for me?

Being kissed and hugged by you in this early morning.

And you kissed but not properly.

Wen Shuangjiang,

if you want to flirt,

can you be serious about it?

How do I be serious?

Look at me properly.

Come closer and speak.

Then?

♪ It was you, striding toward me through the storm ♪

♪ It was you, always cheering me on ♪

♪ The road is rough... ♪

And I'm hooked.

♪ But with you here ♪

♪ How could I give up? ♪

♪ I will never give up ♪

♪ You are my courage, my hope for the sky beyond ♪

♪ You are my light, shining through every night ♪

♪ Even if I have to walk alone someday ♪

♪ I'll never truly be on my own ♪

♪ 'Cause knowing you're here ♪

♪ I can brave the dark ahead ♪

What's wrong?

Why are you hiding?

I'm a bit shy.

Are you hungry?

I can't do both things

at the same time.

Do you want to drink porridge first,

or should I

kiss you a little longer?

Let's drink the porridge first.

Go to rest after eating.

You still need to go to work later, right?

You want to continue?

Your kissing skills are so terrible.

My lips hurt.

Well, I just...

Need to practice more.

So, "Laughter" was Grandma's nickname.

Do you know where Grandpa has spent all the money

during these past six months?

He's been spending it

on those dancing aunties, right?

Grandpa missed the days

when he was with Grandma, living a simple life,

studying in Nanwu,

and pursuing their dreams.

So, he's spent money

to buy their old house back.

He even got those vintage pieces of furniture

and redecorated the house.

Why?

To recreate memories?

He must want to retire there with Grandma.

That place holds

their most beautiful memories.

He wants to preserve those memories

while he still has money.

He's always thinking about that stuff.

He's getting old,

coming up with all these odd ideas.

Su Haoan,

so this is how you see it?

But

he already let Grandma misunderstand,

and he won't clarify.

Some things can't be solved

just by talking.

I don't think

you've ever really cared about them.

It's not that I don't care,

but over the years...

I feel like our family

has this permanent wound

that no one dares to talk about

and no one dares to touch!

Do you know?

This is probably

why Grandpa refused to talk about his illness,

neglected it,

and even pushed Grandma

to go on a road trip.

Your family only has three people left,

yet no one

is willing to talk about the past properly.

How will you face the future?

The other day, Grandpa came to your house.

He asked me which side of the bed I slept on.

Do you usually sleep

on the left side,

or the right?

Right side.

Do you know,

now Grandpa always sleeps on the left side at home,

and Grandma always sleeps on the right side?

When Grandma isn't at home,

I go to her room

every day

to clean

and tidy up.

Then I sit here,

listening to old songs

and viewing old photos.

So many memories

suddenly flood back.

I have to hurry

and write them down.

Once I've written them down,

I'll head back to the old house

and add more things to it.

The person

you want to be with till the end

is Grandma, right?

Given my current physical condition,

I will definitely

leave this world before her.

A few years ago,

I was busy with work,

and I had no time to accompany her.

After she retired,

she spent every day

just staying at home.

And then,

that car accident

took away the happiness

of the whole family.

Why didn't you travel with Grandma?

The two of you would have been happier.

I wanted to,

but my health

didn't allow me to accompany her.

I always feel like I owe her.

So one time,

I intentionally had a big fight with her,

so she'd know

that she could

travel alone

without me.

They must both have been so uncomfortable

without each other.

They were just holding on.

You, too.

You're so young,

so you should bear the pain at home,

and help them move on.

No one has ever talked to me about all this.

Well, I'll be the first to wake you up.

What about you?

Does anyone listen to you properly?

This is a bridge again,

the place you go to

whenever you face pressure and want to escape.

So, you also have pressure,

but no one listens to you properly.

Isn't that right?

I have an order to take.

Zhong Siqiao!

You've helped Dian.

You've helped Xiang Lang.

You've helped all your family.

You've helped everyone around you.

You've helped me.

What about you?

Is there anything I can help you with?

No need to smile.

No need to force a smile.

What I've learned over the years

is that when you don't want to smile, simply don't!

I'm not as strong as you,

but I understand weakness!

Isn't it hard, holding on like that?

I just love them so much.

I don't want them to be separated.

I don't want to see my brother fail at everything.

I don't want Grandpa and Grandma

to be left alone when they're sick.

I don't want Dian, Xiang Lang,

or anyone around me to feel sad!

I also know that you kind of like me.

I'm not stupid.

But I don't want it to be

because I helped you out,

and you just happened to be heartbroken,

and then you thought

maybe we could try.

I don't want it to be like that!

So over these days,

have you thought about me?

I did think about you.

But I'm also really frustrated!

You've been out of touch for half a month,

and I didn't want you to know that I missed you.

I...

I guess I was too emotional.

I...

I'm okay.

That's because you're more experienced.

Hey...

Every relationship I have is different, okay?

Don't misunderstand me.

I haven't agreed to date you yet.

So, would you like to date me?

I...

I'll think about it.

Zhong Siqiao,

what you just said sounded like a bad girl.

But you kissed me first!

But you were more aggressive!

That's because you experienced guy seduced me.

Fine!

Let's start over!

From now on,

I'll officially chase you!

We'll have a shared future!

Is that okay?

Su Haoan, calm down.

Sit down!

♪ My love for you... ♪

Take your time chasing me.

Slowly discover my other good sides.

Gradually fall for me.

Is that okay?

Okay.

♪ I'm in love ♪

Your kissing skills are so terrible.

So embarrassing.

Where is he?

You...

Why aren't you sleeping yet?

You

went out this morning?

My sister came.

She took my graduation album before.

She just came to return it.

Why didn't you invite her here?

She's already gone.

Want to see what your boyfriend looks like

back in college?

Here.

How does he look?

Handsome, right?

This is Su Haoan.

He dyed his hair yellow

back in college.

This is Qian Fei.

By the way,

Qian Fei is getting married on the 8th.

Are you free then?

I'm not sure yet.

What's up?

Nothing, just asking.

This is Duan Jiaxu, right?

He's quite handsome.

He looks the same as before.

Is he handsome?

This picture is average.

He looks a bit silly here.

No way.

You can tell he's the campus heartthrob.

He should be popular with a lot of girls.

I've heard before

you two were the campus heartthrobs.

I've never heard of that.

Well,

in your eyes,

what's...

what's so handsome about him?

In what ways?

He looks very sunny.

He has a youthful vibe.

He's quite eye-catching

in the crowd.

Maybe it's

because I'm not in this photo.

Isn't this you?

He just

looks younger.

Actually, he's quite old.

He's older than all of us.

He belongs to the previous generation.

Isn't that a bit too much?

No.

He's really quite old.

I didn't notice that before.

Why are there so many scenes of him?

Are you tired?

I'm fine.

Well,

I'm tired.

Maybe I should get some rest.

I haven't finished viewing it yet.

Maybe another day.

Let's view it another day.

I'll go to sleep now.

Good night.

The door isn't locked.

Are you chasing me this relentlessly?

No need to knock in the future.

Just come in.

I was just afraid

you might be changing clothes.

So what if I am?

This is for you.

What's this?

Your early Valentine's Day gift.

Because I saw

others usually have

candlelit dinners for Valentine's Day,

but I don't want to do that.

Because...

you are special.

Can I look at it?

Why do you like giving me things

meant for little girls?

When you wear it, you don't look like a little girl.

What does the snowflake decoration mean?

It's Frost's Descent, pronounced as my name, Shuangjiang.

Come on,

put this on for your significant other.

What about this one?

This one is mine.

Done.

Is it a mulberry leaf?

It's a couple's version?

Alright.

Today, I'll gladly play the little girl.

I also have a gift for you.

It's in the first drawer.

This one?

Can I open it?

Of course.

Didn't you say

your voice recorder didn't work?

But I don't know how to use this.

Do I need to plug it into the computer

and listen to it?

No need.

Just press this button, and it works.

Try it in your room.

Why?

Just try it

in your place.

If there's a problem, we can exchange it.

Wen Shuangjiang,

please be safe at work.

Your boyfriend wants you to return home safely.

You

deserve the best.

Remember, there is someone lonely at home,

waiting for your safe return.

No matter what happens,

I will always be with you.

This is it.

I spent half a year

and finally managed to make this place

look a bit more presentable.

Your grandma

has always had great taste in life.

Our past life

wasn't very wealthy,

but our spiritual life

was still rich.

She loved pottery,

so I placed a lot of pottery here.

She also liked flowers and plants,

so I often came up here to tidy up the plants.

Also,

back in the day,

she had a habit of drinking coffee.

Now,

I've learned to brew coffee myself.

No wonder,

every time I take him here,

he doesn't let me come in.

Turns out

this place is his paradise.

I was afraid I'd forget our past life.

So,

while tidying up,

I tried to piece together

the old memories.

Even this sofa and cushion

look very similar to what we used before.

Laughter, you're back!

Grandpa, I'm sorry.

I didn't ask for your permission

before I told Grandma about your illness.

It's my fault, Grandpa.

I think Grandma has the right to know.

If you didn't tell her,

she would be really sad.

Let me ask you,

why didn't you tell me when you got sick?

I just wanted you

to go on a trip without any worries,

to enjoy it happily.

I didn't want you

to lose your dreams in life.

If my dreams don't include you,

then what's the point?

If you hadn't purposely argued with me,

making me angry,

how could I

have gone on a trip and left you alone?

That was because I'm sick,

I often forget things,

and get upset.

I'm also worried

that my condition is getting worse.

In the end,

I might forget even the people around me.

Don't be afraid.

We will all grow old.

We will all forget.

But some things won't change.

We are lifelong partners.

We've been together for so long.

Are you happy?

I really want you to be happy.

When I traveled alone,

I thought I would be happy.

But actually, a lot of the time I wasn't.

Because

I kept thinking about this family,

and I kept thinking about you.

When Woodie died,

Ma sent me a message.

I really wanted to rush back immediately.

Because I realized,

you all

are my greatest happiness.

Grandpa,

don't work so hard anymore.

When you can't remember things,

we'll help you remember.

You said you have a bad memory?

Look, I even forgot about this sofa.

But you remember the fabric of the sofa

and the color of these cushions.

You remember it all!

I'm not that amazing.

I brought our old photos everywhere,

looking for something similar.

I searched for a long time

before I found a sofa with this fabric.

Alright.

Now, I'm back!

Really?

Welcome back.

Here.

We haven't danced in a long time, have we?

Yeah.

I thought you'd forgotten we used to dance together.

Sang Yan's college time

was a phase I never saw

and never participated in.

I clearly feel an emotion

that kept appearing in the past

but I never managed to capture it.

Yes,

I regret it.

I regret it very, very much.

I regret not being part of that time in his life.

If I could,

I would want to participate

in every moment of his life

and accompany him through every emotion.

In every moment he's sad,

I would be by his side.

Of course, I'd be happy to be your power bank,

providing you with energy

every day of the future.
