[Episode 25]

Let me stay by your side.

[Hiroshima Mon Amour]



[164]

[Spare no effort today,
ensure perfection tomorrow.]

Sorry,

I'm late.

Where were you?

I went to a book club today.

They happened to be discussing

"Hiroshima Mon Amour"

by Marguerite Duras.

I was going to

ask you to come with me.

I'm sorry, Man.

I can't take you

to movie theaters

and amusement parks

like your classmates do.

You have to settle for places like this.

Not at all.

Being able to do this,

I'm already more than happy.

Happy birthday.

How did you know

today is my birthday?

I looked it up.

I also know

you've always spent it

alone in the past.

From now on,

I'll spend it with you.

Thank you.

Make a wish.

What do you want for your birthday?

I usually read it

quietly in the library,

but today,

I want you to read it to me.

"I once had the misfortune

of being utterly humiliated.

The razor at my head.

From this foolish act,

I gained extraordinary wisdom.

I want to have lived through that moment.

That incomparable moment.

He speaks,

as though divorced from the present.

He: In a few years,

when I'll have forgotten you,

and when other such adventures,

from sheer habit, will happen to me,

I'll remember you

as the symbol

of love's forgetfulness.

I'll think of

this adventure

as of the horror of oblivion.

I already know it.

I'll do that."

What's wrong?

No matter what happens in the future,

whether we have one or not,

the moment

just now

is the most special

and happiest of my life.

Thank you.

I love you.

I love you too.

Where was I?

"I meet you."

"I meet you.

I remember you.

This city

was made to the size of love."

Why did you film me?

Stay away from me!

You're causing such a scene.

Aren't you afraid the
whole school will find out?

Then Coach Zhou's life

would be completely ruined by you.

You want to smash it?

Go ahead.

I have more than one copy.

But think it through.

This phone is expensive.

Can you afford to pay it

with your student loan?

What...

W-What do you want?

I want you to pretend to
fall in love with Jiang Chengyi

and break up Lu Yan and Jiang Chengyi.

Impossible.

In your dreams!

In my dreams?

That's right.

I've been dreaming all along.

But look,

my dream

is about to come true.

I don't have much patience.

If you've made up your mind,

come to the small garden

behind the teaching building tomorrow.

I'll teach you what to do.

Do as Ding Jing said.

Impossible.

I would never, ever do anything

to hurt Yan.

Then what should we do?

If she makes that video

public,

I'll be branded

as a hypocrite,

and you'll be labeled

as a homewrecker that everyone despises.

Even if I don't care,

you're still so young.

With that kind of reputation,

how are you going to move forward?

I don't want that for you either.

Listen to me, Man.

W-We don't really need

to break them up.

We'll just put on a show,

making Ding Jing think

she's won,

so she'll destroy

that video.

Okay?

A show?

Yes.

Once Ding Jing

destroys the video

and this all blows over,

we'll go apologize

and find a way to make it up to them.

I'll do it with you.

But...

I still can't

hurt Yan for myself.

You're each other's best friend,

right?

You don't want to hurt her,

and she wouldn't want to see you

suffer like this either.

Once it's over

and she knows the truth,

she'll forgive you.

Really?

But...

Just do it for me.

For us.

Okay?

Then I'll…

I'll go.

You're alright?

Call me if you need anything.

Let's put an end to this.

I can't keep doing things

that hurt Yan and Jiang Chengyi.

I'd rather die.

I understand.

Sorry.

I shouldn't have pushed you

to do something you didn't want to.

This is my responsibility.

I was out of my mind.

I can't believe I asked you,

a young girl, to cover for me.

I'm such a jerk.

Stop, stop.

Stop.

I'm sorry, Man.

I'm useless.

I really don't know what to do.

If they ever ask you,

just say I forced you.

My life can't

get any better anyway.

But you're different.

You're still young.

You still have a future.

You deserve a good life.

I'll protect you.

What are you planning to do?

I…

I can't tell you

what I'm going to do now,

but I promise

that after this,

Ding Jing will never

threaten us again,

and she'll never hurt

Yan and Jiang Chengyi again.

What are you going to do?

Tell me.

I'll do it with you.

No.

You don't need to do anything.

I told you,

I want us

to always be together.

For that,

I'm willing to give everything.

[Spare no effort today,
ensure perfection tomorrow.]

Dear leaders and teachers,

hello.

Deng Man, a 2014 Advanced Nursing student

from the School of Medicine,

died in an accident yesterday.

Starting today,

the police will conduct an
investigation on campus.

If any teacher

can offer any clues,

please contact the
administrative office immediately.

Thank you.

I want us to always be together.

For that,

I'm willing to give everything.

[Library]

Coach Zhou.

Principal.

Officers.

[Hiroshima Mon Amour]

This is Coach Zhou Zhicheng.

He's been a PE teacher

at our university for many years,

and he's

the Model of Morality this year.

Zhou,

did you

see the message from
the administrative office?

Yes.

Coach Zhou,

do you know that girl?

She was one of my students.

What sport did she take for PE?

Volleyball.

Did you have

any private interactions with her?

No.

[Hiroshima Mon Amour]

I've thought about

destroying this book many times.

But I couldn't bring myself to do it.

It holds all

my memories with her.

I couldn't let it go.

I really loved her.

How did you love her?

You loved her,

yet you watched as Ding Jing bullied her.

You loved her,

yet you forced her

to confess to Jiang Chengyi,

even though you knew

the person she liked was you.

You're so much older than her.

Even if what Man did

was not right,

shouldn't you have told her

to stop before it went too far?

How could you just sit back

and let it all happen?

Do you know that

Deng Man

never revealed your relationship

even before she died?

We even called you a teacher.

How could you do that to Deng Man?

How could you do that to your wife?

Do you deserve

to be called a teacher?

Calm down.

Let him make things clear.

You're right.

I'm a jerk,

and karma has caught up with me.

I was diagnosed with
cancer three years ago.

I don't think I have much time left.

But I thought,

if I died too,

then no one would ever

bring up Man's case again.

So I wrote an anonymous letter

to the police.

You wrote that letter?

Back then, the letter claimed

that Deng Man didn't commit suicide.

Do you have any evidence

or leads?

I don't have any evidence.

But I know

she'd never have committed suicide.

We were so in love.

She'd never have had the heart

to leave me behind like that.

She definitely didn't commit suicide.

We've figured out where the money came from

and what happened between them back then.

But something still feels off.

What do you think…

is off?

I can't say for sure.

I'll think about it after I get back.

His story

is too perfect.

I've already

done everything you asked.

Don't worry.

I won't let anyone know

about your existence.

Yan.

Man.

I finally see you again.

I've missed you so much.

I've missed you too.

You and Jiang Chengyi made up?

That's wonderful.

Man,

there's something I've always

wanted to ask you.

Do you regret it?

Of course, I do.

I lost the two people

I loved most in my life at the same time.

I was too young back then.

I didn't really understand what love was.

When I needed care

the most,

he appeared,

and

he treated me very well.

But compared with that,

what I regret more…

is not telling you

about my relationship with him.

You'll forgive me,

won't you?

You must believe

in your choice.

Jiang Chengyi really loves you.

And,

from now on,

you need to be happy every single day.

I dreamed about Deng Man.

She told me she was sorry.

It's in the past.

Don't think about it.

Get some more sleep.

Everyone's busy?

Jiang,

your takeout.

I didn't order any takeout.

Panda love bento?

What's that?

Dr. Lu?

Let me see.

Are you dating someone?

What is it? Let me see.

Not unless you admit it.

Let me see!

You're dating someone, aren't you?

Teach me how.

I want to date too.

I'm still single, Jiang.

What can I teach you?
Figure it out yourself.

How can I teach you that?

I want to date too.

What's wrong with you?

I can't teach you that.

Get back to work.

Panda love bento.

Keep it down. Why are you so loud?

[Thanks for the love bento.]

[Stairs]

Thanks

for the love bento.

[Huiting Complex]

You didn't turn the
lights off when you left?

I did.

Then why are the lights on?

Mom?

Auntie.

Hello, Auntie.

- Hello, Auntie.
- Mom.

Why are you here?

What?

Did I come at a bad time?

No,

but if you'd told me in advance,

I could've picked you up.

You've already met his parents.

Of course I had to hurry
back to check things out.

Listen.

There are a few places

I haven't visited.

You'll need to reimburse me.

Okay.

No problem.

Why have you lost weight?

No.

Look at you.

You must've been through a lot.

What are you talking about? I…

I-I've been really happy.

This, uh, this is…

Auntie.

Mom.

Nice to meet you.

Jiang Chengyi.

- Well.
- Hello, Auntie.

Jiang, right?

Yeah.

You're in great shape

and pretty tall too.

What are you, 190 cm?

Not quite,

just over 180 cm.

See?

Mom's got a good eye.

Definitely.

A-Are you two living together?

No.

- No.
- Auntie.

I live next door.

- And…
- Yeah.

We run into each other

going to and from work,

and sometimes…

We grab a meal together.

Yeah.

We sometimes have meals together.

How's that different from living together?

With those long legs of yours,

one step from your balcony

and you'd be here.

No way.

Mom, stop joking.

It's the sixth floor.

Who in their right mind

would do that?

Have you eaten yet?

Why don't we order takeout?

You're always eating takeout, aren't you?

No wonder you've lost weight.

Takeout is unhealthy.

- Don't order takeout.
- Alright, no takeout.

Since your mom's just arrived,

let's go out for dinner.

What do you think?

Okay. Do you want to eat out?

Nah.

I'm tired after traveling.

Let's just eat at home.

Okay.

Let's eat at home.

We've got food anyway.

Sit with your mom for a bit.

I-I'll cook.

Alright.

Have a rest.

Auntie, I'll cook.

Okay.

Okay.

Mom.

Mom.

Okay.

He's a great cook.

He looks quite at home.

He…

Here.

Be careful.

Thank you.

The dishes are all here.

Eat up.

Mom,

try the beef first.

It's a secret family recipe.

It's really good.

How is it?

Not bad.

The beef is really tender.

Secret family recipe.

You like it?

Delicious.

Sit down.

I won't eat with you.

Oh, my memory's terrible.

What's your name again?

I'm Jiang Chengyi, Auntie.

Jiang Chengyi?

Right.

Why does your name sound so familiar?

Sit down and eat.

I'm good.

Well,

your mom just got here today.

You two have a chat.

I'll head back now.

Auntie, I'm leaving.

Jiang.

The clothes in the washing machine

are yours, right?

Yes.

I washed them for you.

Don't forget to take them.

Oh,

thank you, Auntie.

Thank you.

Stop grinning!

Mom,

how long are you staying this time?

Why?

You think I'm in the way?

No!

Why are you always talking like that?

I just want to know how long you're staying

so I can decide if I should
take time off to be with you.

No need.

I'm here for two things:

one,

to check out

that boyfriend of yours next door;

two, to get a health check at the hospital.

I'll book it for you.

No need.

Dr. Han has

already booked it for me.

Tell me.

How was the meeting

with Jiang's parents?

It went well.

His parents really like me.

I knew it'd be pointless to ask you!

In your eyes,

everyone's good.

I just can't figure it out.

For eight years,

you didn't date anyone.

Then all of a sudden,

you've met his parents.

How long have you two known each other?

How long?

We've known each other…

for quite a while now.

For quite a while?

And you didn't tell me?

You had me worrying about you

every single day!

I keep thinking about the days

when you broke up

with your ex

and cried your heart out.

Mom.

Actually,

he's

my ex.

I-I knew it.

No wonder his name sounds so familiar.

But honestly, Mom,

it wasn't his fault back then.

I was the one who ended things.

Yan,

it doesn't matter who ended things.

The fact that you two

broke up back then

means you weren't

right for each other.

Mom,

it was all just a
misunderstanding back then.

We've cleared it up,

and we can finally

be together again.

And

you know what?

For these eight years,

neither of us was with anyone else.

We both waited for each other.

Really?

I believe in your judgment,

but Yan…

But…

But you're worried about his job,

aren't you?

It's not that I think

his job is bad.

It's just…

his line of work seems a bit dangerous.

Oh, Mom,

we're not kids anymore.

Do you think we wouldn't have

thought about these things

before deciding to be together?

We don't need you

to point that out for us.

Don't worry.

We'll figure it out

and make it work.

We'll be happy together.

Now, lie down

and get some sleep.

It's so late.

Go to sleep.

You've got your checkup tomorrow, right?

Come here.

I've missed you so much.

I've missed you.

I've missed you too.

Good girl.

Are you asleep?

Not yet.

See you on the balcony.

Okay.

Are you cold?

Not really.

Is your mom asleep?

Don't take

what my mom said to heart, okay?

She's always like that.

I'm fine.

Your mom's visit was so sudden.

I wasn't prepared at all.

How was the food?

It was amazing!

The Stir-fried Beef

was so good.

What does your mom like for breakfast?

I'll get up early and make it for her.

No need.

Tomorrow morning,

I'm taking her to the
hospital for her checkup.

She can't eat breakfast.

Don't worry about it.

Then I'll take you guys there.

Don't bother.

She knows her way around
the hospital better than you do.

By the way, about what my mom said earlier,

can you really do it?

Do what?

You know,

take one step and come here.

You don't want me anymore, huh?

Then catch me.

No problem.

Get ready.

- I'm coming.
- Come here.

I'll head in.

Go. Get some sleep.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

If he's Jiang, you've got
nothing to worry about.

Just accept him.

If you don't,

someone else will snatch him away.

Dr. Han,

you're a parent too.

You can understand me, right?

Of course,

I understand completely.

I know

you're here

to check him out, aren't you?

You've noticed it, haven't you?

In this hospital,

there are so many

female doctors and nurses

with their eyes on Jiang.

If Lu Yan weren't so well-liked,

someone

would've gotten to him already.

How long do you plan to evaluate him?

Alright.

Mrs. Lu,

think about it.

Captain Jiang is a police officer,

and Lu Yan is a doctor.

A cop and a doctor,

doesn't that sound perfect?

But they're both so busy,

and their work schedules are irregular.

Even if they're together,

it's almost like

a long-distance relationship.

[Blood Test Station]

I can't speak for anyone else,

but Captain Jiang?

He's 100%

reliable.

Every time Lu's in trouble,

he's the first one

to show up

and protect her.

Don't worry.

Captain Jiang

is a great guy.

Don't worry, okay?

Yilin,

look,

if they're so great together,

why did they break up

in the first place?

Oh, you don't get it.

They just rekindled their love.

It's wonderful.

Don't worry.

Your blood pressure is a bit high.

Let's stop talking.

Take another reading.

Sorry.

Mom.

The test results are out?

Have some water.

You're pouting again.

What's bothering you this time?

I've figured out

what's going on here.

Everyone

at this hospital

has been bought off by Jiang Chengyi.

They're all

singing his praises.

What are they saying?

They say he's decent,

reliable,

honest,

and down-to-earth,

and that all the doctors
and nurses at this hospital

like him.

It's as if he's one in a million,

and you'd regret missing out on him.

Where is he now?

At work.

Call him.

Ask him to pick us up later.

Mom, come on.

Relax.

I won't give him a hard time.

Fine,

I'll call him later.

Call him now.

Let me check the results first.

Call him now.

Later, I promise.

[I'd like to explain it to you in person.]

[Got time to have lunch with me?
[About what happened last time—]

Open the door.

Get in the car.

Come on.
