01x19 - This will be a difficult road

[bunniefuu]

[Adapted from the novel
"Counterattack" by Chai Ji Dan]

[Episode 19, This Path
Might Be a Very Difficult One]

Da Wei.

Be strong.

You make a lot of money now.

You can buy your mom
the best medicine.

As long as your mom
has a good mentality,

living a few more years
won't be a problem.

Why didn't Chi Cheng...

tell me?

Maybe he's worried about you.

Or maybe he just doesn't know
how to tell you.

There are a lot of patients
like that in our ward.

The closest people to them
were the last to know.

Xiao Shuai.

Later, when the doctor comes out,

help me ask him for me.

This isn't my profession.

I'm afraid I'd miss something.

Okay.

No problem.

Family members,
the patient is awake.

When you go in, don't cry.

Do you hear me?

Mom.

You're so sick.

Why didn't you tell me?

You kept it from me for so long.

It's my fault too.

I've been busy with my own stuff.

Da Qiong.

Don't blame Xiao Chi.

I told him not to tell you.

You have enough on your plate
to worry about.

I really don't want you...

to worry about me.

Mom.

Technology is so advanced now.

I'm sure you can be cured.

I believe you.

Don't cry.

That's enough.

Don't.

Mr. Chi.

- Throw it.
- Don't panic.

One, two, three, go.

This is exciting.

How is she, doctor?

All tests came back normal.

Mrs. Wu.

Hey, let's do it together.

Mom.

I'll give you a massage.

Da Qiong.

I'm a burden to you.

You're not a burden.

You must be exhausted, Da Qiong.

Come in.

Thank you, Xiao Shuai.

You always come to visit my mom.

Don't worry about it.

I just got off work a little early.

Besides,

my clinic is full of patients.

They'll understand.

Do you think...

my mom's condition...

Gosh, don't worry.

Your mom's mentality...

is much better than when she was
just hospitalized.

But I feel like she's a child.

She can only fall asleep
if I coax her.

Also,

once she falls asleep,
she always sleeps for a long time.

Wu Suo Wei.

Why are you here?

You guys talk.

I'll stay with Mrs. Wu for a while.

Okay.

I heard about your mom.

I...

have a friend in the US...

who specializes
in pancreatic tumors.

I asked him to come
and check on her.

He's probably
on the plane right now.

He'll be here tomorrow.

I came in advance...

to talk to you
and the attending physician.

Thank you.

Sorry for troubling you.

Thank you.

That's what friends are for.

Look at yourself.

You're not the one who got dumped.

That's easy for you to say.

The probability...

of this kind of thing
happening to me is zero.

You've never dated.

How could you get dumped?

And now, you're even
finding him a doctor.

You don't even know
if he'll appreciate it.

Right now,

you look like
the whole world has wronged you.

It makes me look down on you.

What right do you have
to look down on me?

Wang Zhen, I'm telling you.

Don't be so arrogant every day.

I've told you before.

Mom doesn't want a son...

who doesn't
acknowledge his family like you.

If I didn't pity you,

you'd be homeless now.

What you're doing...

only proves that Chi Cheng
made the right choice.

What... What do you know?

People like you...

won't understand me.

Do you remember when we were kids?

We only had
one corn stick snack left that time.

Mom told us to split it
and share it.

You cried and screamed...

because you wanted
to eat the long piece.

Mom had no choice
but to make the long piece shorter.

In the end, the short piece
became the long piece.

She had to keep breaking it.

After so much breaking,

neither of us got to eat it
in the end.

But you clapped your hands
happily instead.

Because to you,

having it is more important
than enjoying it.

You'd rather not eat it...

than eat less of it.

You've changed today.

You're talking so much.

Green-Eyed Monster,
I got you a new home.

I'll just put him in.

Thank you, Wei Wei.

Look, what's this called?

This...

should be...

my red bow tie.

Right?

But the one you made
doesn't look like him.

He isn't a cobra.

That's venom.

Tell me if it looks like him.

Here.

Be gentle.

That muscle is tight.

I'm a professional.

Lower.

How is it? Feels good, right?

Try my cooking.

Can you cook?

Don't worry. My skill is similar
to Guo Cheng Yu's.

Be careful, it's hot.

Is it that bad?

Let's order takeout.
We'll order takeout, okay?

I'm thinking.

The sunset is so beautiful.

But the person with me...

didn't shave.

I am full of hormones.

I shaved this morning,

but it grew back now.

You...

Green-Eyed Monster?

He's just like
an inner demon at home.

Let him stay with you.

Why is he like an inner demon?

Isn't he...

with Wang Shuo every day?

Snakes are also like humans.

He sees you as family.

To him, Wang Shuo
is just a companion.

It's okay
if it's just for a few days.

But if it's too long,

it absolutely won't work.

It's been listless at home for days.

I realized...

that listening to you talk
feels so good.

You know what?

The expert you found for me...

is very useful.

My mom has much more energy now.

Thank you.

Where did you buy this?

I loved it when I was little.

Eat it.

No, you can have it.

I was waiting for you to say that.

You're smarter
than Wang Shuo indeed.

Give all this to your mom.

I'm sure she'll love it.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- I'll get going.
- Bye.

Wu Suo Wei.

What's the matter?

I'm leaving soon.

I'll take Wang Shuo with me.

- Will you still come back?
- I will.

Okay.

When you come back,
to teach me new kung fu.

Bye.

You're stronger than Wang Shuo.

Chi Cheng can give you...

your sense of security.

But only I can give
the sense of security...

that Wang Shuo wants.

Hurry up.

I'm coming.

Mr. Chi.

Mr. Chi, aren't you coming in?

No.

I'll wait for the next one.

What are you doing?

You're finally willing
to come to your boyfriend.

Wu Suo Wei just got dumped...

and his mom is very sick.

I have to take care of him.

So...

you can just ignore your boyfriend?

Aren't you afraid...

that I'll keep a secret lover
at home?

You'd keep a secret lover?

Who? Chi Cheng?

How did you know?

Cheng Yu is mine.

You're not needed here.

Get lost.

Shuai Shuai.

This idiot said his house
is too big.

He feels lonely and cold by himself,

so he insists
on staying here with me.

I'm not lying.

How... How long
has he been living here?

I've been living here...

for as long as you were gone.

Can you shut up?

Shuai Shuai.

- Shuai Shuai.
- Don't spoil him.

Shuai Shuai.

Can I spoil him with you around?

Cheng Yu, I'm having a hard time.
Can't you come and keep me company?

Come on.

Fine.

Come on.

Move.

Your timing is so good.

He went to work today.

Then aren't you going to visit him?

I can't go all the time.

It's not a big deal.

Do you have to act like this?

If Jiang Xiao Shuai said
he never loved you,

how would you feel?

The two of us...

aren't as dramatic as you two.

I am...

not as petty as you either.

Even if Jiang Xiao Shuai
really says...

he doesn't love me anymore one day,

I'll still pursue him,

pamper him,

and keep pestering him.

I'll keep loving him...

until he falls in love
with me again.

You're so darn cheap.

Yes. A cheap jerk with a mouth.

When something occurs
or happens to me,

I'll explain things clearly
and talk it out.

Unlike you.

You're here drinking...

and smoking.

If he can figure things out,

he can do so on his own
without anyone's explanation.

If he can't figure it out,

he would dwell on it...

and won't ask me.

I remember,

back then,

didn't you dwell on things too?

How dare you bring that up?

You didn't explain things
to me back then either.

Darn it.

Whatever you say, Chi Cheng.

Come on. Let's drink.

Cheng Yu.

To be honest,

if our reconciliation
didn't calm me down a bit,

I really can't handle this.

Come on.

Let's play a game.

Let's play Two Little Bees...

like we did back then.

Come on.

Hurry up.

- Two little bees,
- Two little bees,

- flying to the flower shrubs.
- Flying to the flower shrubs.

- Flying to the left,
- Flying to the left,

- flying to the right.
- Flying to the right.

- Fly!
- Fly!

Shuai Shuai, are you free tonight?

Come to my place for dinner.

Isn't Chi Cheng still there?

If he's there, I'm not coming.

I have to go.

Should we think of a way
to lure Chi Cheng out for a while?

I've become
a freaking herbivore now.

What do you have in mind?

Let's find him another guy.

Ever since he was with Mr. Wu,
Chi Cheng's philandering habits...

have lessened.

That's a good idea.

I wonder
if he's in the mood for that now.

Let's give it a try.

Should we find a man or a woman?

A man or a woman?

It's up to you.

Any requirements?

Big eyes.

Try it.

I just made this...

for you this morning.

I made it myself.

It looks, smells, and tastes good.

Is there anyone else...

in the house besides you?

No.

If you dare to lie to me,
I won't talk to you for a week.

You're so childish.

How can you still say
that kind of thing at your age?

You must be hungry.
Eat something first, okay?

I'll feed you.

Try it.

Guo Cheng Yu.

What is this?

This... This isn't a person.

Right?

There are a lot of people
in your house, right?

Chi Cheng...

is not considered a person too.

If you want to play, go inside.

Why did you come out?

Her eyes are too big.

I feel scared,

dude.

Xiao Shuai.

Guo Cheng Yu, you...

- You two...
- Carry on.

Don't mind me.
I'm not considered a person.

Xiao Shuai, I can explain.

The three of you
can enjoy yourselves.

I don't want to talk
to you for a week.

Don't.

A week is too much.

Half a day.

- A day at most, okay?
- No!

Darn you.

Shuai Shuai.

Shuai Shuai.

Didn't you go
to Guo Cheng Yu's place?

Why are you here?

Right now,

Chi Cheng is staying
at his place too.

He doesn't need me.

Da Wei.

You really don't mind?

Why should I care?

You're the one
who should be jealous.

You're madly in love
with Guo Cheng Yu now.

You don't want anyone
to get in your way.

That's very normal.

Are you planning to continue being
like this with Chi Cheng forever?

By the way,

I'm curious.

Why did Yue Yue
disappear without a trace...

after coming to me once?

What do you mean?

I'm just wondering.

She only showed up twice,

then she completely disappeared.

I've been asking around about her,

but I haven't heard anything.

She must have done something bad
and went into hiding.

But since she suddenly appeared
at that point in time,

someone must have
instructed her to do it.

Also,

the person who's helping her hide...

is quite capable.

The person who's helping her
do bad things...

must be really good.

Who are you talking about?

Isn't it obvious?

Aside from Wang Shuo,

who else can it be?

Green-Eyed Monster.

Mr. Wu, take a look at this.

Xiao Lin, did you come
into the office earlier?

Did you see a big box here?

I left a document here
this morning, then I...

The cleaning lady was here.

She did seem to be holding
a box this big.

It looked quite heavy.

She said
she was throwing it away as scrap.

What?

- Move.
- What's wrong, Mr. Wu?

Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu.

Let me do it.

I found it.

I'm sorry, Mr. Wu.

I really didn't know your office...

- That scared me.
- Had this.

Are you alone today?

Where's Xiao Wu?

You still remember him?

Yes. Of course I remember
a customer like Xiao Wu.

Go get some food first.

- I'll let you get to work.
- Okay.

Miss.

- I'm done.
- Okay.

- Have a seat.
- Thank you.

Here's yours.

- Enjoy.
- Thank you.

The spicy hot pot you ordered
is really different from Xiao Wu's.

Every time he comes,
he doesn't just take anything.

Vegetarian food and meat dishes.

He weighs them as he goes.

He controls the price precisely.

Yes.

He's a cheapskate.

Enjoy your meal.

[Store for lease]

Miss.

Are you closing your shop?

We're closing down.
Business is getting worse.

When I came here before,

wasn't business good?

That was a long time ago.

Look at the market now.

Everything has changed.

Take your time eating.

Mom, let me wipe your feet.

After washing your feet,
get some rest.

All right. I'll help you to bed.

Xiao Chi.

Come here.

Mrs. Wu.

I'm here.

I'm here.

I...

I...

I know.

I understand...

you two.

Mrs. Wu.

I'm sorry.

I didn't hear you.

Say it again.

Repeat it.

I...

I am...

I'm just afraid...

for you two.

This path...

might...

It might be...

a very difficult one.

Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu.

It's okay.

You'll be fine.

You and him...

should be good together.

Mrs. Wu.

Mom.

Da Qiong.

I...

I want...

to go home.

Mom.

The doctor said
all indicators aren't stable yet.

It's not recommended
to get discharged.

I've been here long enough.

I... I want to go home.

Da Qiong.

- Okay.
- Take...

Take me home.

Mom, let's go home.

- Mom.
- Give it to me.

I'll cook for you.

There's no need.

Today, I'll cook for you.

Mom, don't bother.

Get some rest.

Today, I feel very energetic.

I'm in good condition.

All right.

Go to your room and rest.

There's no need, Mom.

- I'll stay here with you.
- Okay.

Look.

This flower is growing so well.

Here, Mom.

Have some soup.

Da Qiong.

When are you...

going to get me a daughter-in-law?

Soon.

Xiao Chi must be very busy lately.

He...

is quite busy.

Xiao Chi is a good person.

He's nice.

Mom.

Mom.

Let's eat.

Okay.

Mom.

Why are you sleeping here?

Let's go.
I'll help you to your room.

Mom.

Look at you.

It's summer...

and you're sleeping in the yard.

What if it's winter?

I can't be with you all the time.

If you have a headache or a fever,

I can't take care of you.

Mom.

Why don't I buy a house nearby?

You can move in with me...

and I can take care of you.

You always say it's a blessing
to suffer losses.

It's good to live a peaceful life.

Mom.

Actually, I never told you...

that I started a company.

I didn't want you to worry about me,

so I didn't dare to tell you.

You won't blame me, right?

Actually, I deserve to be blamed.

I'm unfilial.

I didn't give you a good life.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

I lied to you again.

I don't think...

I'd ever get a wife
in this lifetime.

Mom.

Mom.

Don't go.

Mom.
