(Episode 21: Tulips) (Bitter and
pungent in taste, neutral in nature,
enters the lung meridian, transforms
dampness, and dispels foulness.)
Are you meeting us at the old house,
or going straight to the cemetery?
Something urgent came up, so I
won't be going to Hang City this year.
I've ordered a bouquet of tulips
to be delivered to the old house.
Bring it to Nian for me.
Mom.
Suye is here.
Mom.
What are you reading?
When they were stopping
my bleeding earlier,
I suddenly thought of a TCM
herb for stopping bleeding,
but I can't remember its
name no matter how hard I try.
I studied TCM since I was young,
but now I can't even remember
the name of a single herb.
It must be a side effect of
the brain metastasis, right?
He Suye.
I'm glad I made it in time.
Why are you here?
I picked these flowers for your mom.
I was thinking if you could
give them to her for me.
I hope she likes them.
She will like them.
Nian,
He Sheng is too busy with work to come,
so I came with Suye.
But
he asked us to bring you
your favourite tulips.
Don't be disappointed, alright?
As for me, rest assured,
I'm in good health.
This time, your son is
bringing you good news.
Let me tell you,
he finally has a girlfriend.
Let your son properly introduce her to you.
Mom,
her name is Shen Xifan.
She's a very intelligent and cheerful girl.
I feel very happy spending
time with her every day.
Besides,
she likes flowers too.
She's the one
who chose the flowers for you this year.
However,
she has to go study abroad this year.
I'll bring her to see you two years later.
I hope you'll like her.
She will.
I believe your mom
will definitely like her.
Mom,
there's another piece of good news.
My research on breast cancer
is also on track now.
I'll definitely work hard to do it well.
Nian, did you hear that?
The topic your son is researching on
will benefit all breast cancer patients.
It's to allow all patients
to complete their final journey
with dignity.
If you can hear us from heaven,
please bless your son's
research project with success.
(Beloved wife, Yu Nianxiang)
Stop thinking about it.
Your father has a new
family to take care of.
It's normal that he couldn't come.
You brought such beautiful
fresh flowers this year.
How lovely they are!
And such good news too.
I believe your mom would be very happy.
Miss Shen is really thoughtful.
You should thank her properly.
Is she on leave at home today?
She's on duty.
On duty, I see.
Is it convenient to give her a call then?
Let me ask her.
Are you busy?
Not at all.
What's up?
Can we have a video call?
Grandpa wants to greet you.
Okay, okay.
Is it tiring to work
over the holiday?
It's alright.
There aren't many people
during the Qingming holiday.
How about you?
I'm fine.
I just drove over to chat with my mom.
Wait a moment.
Hello, Miss Shen.
I'm not disturbing your work, am I?
No, not at all.
Not even a bit.
It's been a long time, Professor Yu.
Thank you for the flowers.
They're beautiful.
I thank you on behalf of Suye's mother.
You've tied your hair up.
It makes you look very energetic.
Your complexion has improved a lot too.
Suye's treatment for
you seems quite effective.
Of course, that goes without saying.
It's been effective.
You look very energetic too.
It's because I'm happy.
Miss Shen,
will you be working overtime tomorrow?
I won't be working overtime tomorrow.
That's great!
Tomorrow, I will go for a walk
in the herbal garden with Suye.
Do you and your family want to come along?
If it's not abrupt, that is.
You know, as an old man living alone,
holidays can be quite boring.
If you and your family don't mind,
consider it a countryside excursion.
Don't feel any pressure.
No, no.
There's no pressure at all.
Is it the herbal garden from the
medicated diet project last time?
Yes, yes, that's right.
I really like that place.
No problem.
I'll ask my parents about it later.
Alright, alright, then I'll
wait for your response.
Good.
Alright, alright.
Go ask Mr. and Mrs. Shen about it.
Tonight,
I'll be staying over at my grandpa's.
Miss Shen, see you tomorrow.
Bye-bye,
Dr. He.
Bye-bye.
Spring has arrived.
Talking about yourself?
Let's get going.
Let's go.
Can you two help me decide?
Which of these two should I wear tomorrow?
I... I want to wear a dress.
I don't want to wear sportswear.
Wear sportswear is better.
It's not convenient for you to wear
a dress while climbing up and down.
Ms. Shen has already said
that place is particularly
difficult to access.
Since we're finally going, I
have to take some photos, right?
This one will definitely
look better in photos.
No, look at this colour.
Do you actually think it's pretty?
It won't look good on you
because your skin is dark.
This would only look good
on fair-skinned people.
Then, the dress
is okay, I guess.
There aren't be many people
during the Qingming holiday.
What about you?
I'm fine.
I just drove over to chat with my mom.
Is it okay, Ms. Shen?
It's fine.
It's settled then.
Dad, Mom,
I have something I want
to discuss with you two.
Have a seat.
He Suye's mother passed
away many years ago.
He went to sweep his mother's grave,
so he won't be in a great mood tomorrow.
Can we just...
You mean...
I get it. You don't want
us to bring it up, right?
Yes.
We won't mention it.
We understand. His grandfather
is a TCM practitioner, right?
Yes.
We'll just ask about health
preservation and wellness.
Things like this.
Sure.
Don't worry, your mother
and I know what we're doing.
Tomorrow, let's just have a
relaxing and enjoyable outing, okay?
Thank you both.
Let's not bring up the matter of the dowry.
And no bride price either.
Come on, let's see what I should wear.
Do you know what flower this is?
What flower is this? A small purple flower.
It's so clean.
Take a sniff.
I won't smell it, you smell it.
You smell it.
It doesn't have any scent.
Let me take a photo of you.
It looks pretty nice like this.
Okay.
It's really clean.
Come help me take a full-body photo.
Here, here, hurry up!
Alright!
Okay.
Let me see.
This tree doesn't look good.
Why are my feet not in it?
Full-body, I said full-body!
Let me take a look.
This way, this way, this way.
What is that?
He Suye.
Include my legs.
No.
It's not working.
Okay.
This one is passable.
Ms. Liu, this was taken nicely, wasn't it?
Yes, that's fine.
What did you call her?
I called her Ms. Liu.
It's our family's official title.
Then what do you call him?
Mr. Shen.
I'm an English teacher
in a high school.
What about Shen?
Ms. Shen.
Look.
Your family is so interesting.
We're just joking around.
Yes, yes, yes.
Look, my grandfather
just learned that your family
addresses each other like this.
He's curious.
Then how will you address me?
Professor Yu.
Let's go with Professor Yu.
Right, right, right.
We'll call you Professor Yu.
Professor Yu.
You see.
This way, we're like one big family.
Yes, yes, yes.
How much we resemble a family!
Come on.
Three, two, one.
Good.
You two come and take a photo too.
I'll pass.
Professor Yu, come take a photo.
It's not often we come
to such a beautiful place.
You and He Suye together.
Hurry.
Come on.
Come, come, come.
Okay.
You take the photo.
I'll take it.
Alright.
Three, two, one.
You guys are too serious.
Liven up a bit.
Let's take one more with another pose.
No more photos.
I'm old now.
I don't like taking photos anymore.
One photo is enough.
Shen,
why don't you take a photo with Suye?
I'll take it for you two.
Okay? Come on.
Alright.
You're taking it?
I'll take it.
Tell me how to use this phone.
Yes.
Is it like this?
Yes, yes, yes.
That's right, like that. Now it's clear.
Okay, okay.
Look here.
Relax.
Okay.
Okay.
Alright.
One.
Two.
Three.
This grove is beautiful.
The air is fresh too.
The ones ahead are cinnamon.
Look at this. Do you remember what it is?
It's agarwood!
A familiar scent.
Your memory is quite good.
Let's go.
Last time we came,
there weren't any tulips here, were there?
Well, the tulip blooming
season just arrived, didn't it?
Can these tulips be used in medicine?
Yes, they can remove
dampness and deodorize.
These aren't for medicinal use.
The medicinal tulips are in
the greenhouse up ahead.
But these planted here
look quite pretty too.
The yellow ones are beautiful.
I planted these tulips
to commemorate my daughter,
who is also Suye's mother.
Her name is Yu Nianxiang
and her favorite flower was the tulip.
So I asked someone
to plant these tulips.
Every year at this time,
the tulips bloom,
and that's when she knows
we've come to see her.
Let's go.
Let's go see the Paeonia
lactiflora garden up ahead.
So,
Auntie's favorite flower was the tulip.
Yes.
She must have loved
the bouquet you prepared yesterday.
Then I can rest easy.
Dr. He,
I don't have much to give you.
I'd like to give you these flowers,
double the happiness.
Dr. He.
It's really hard to buy
tulips of this colour.
I'll give you half of them.
Do you know
why I like you?
Didn't you say it before,
that I hooked you first?
Yes,
but that's not the whole story.
Before you,
treating patients was
just a responsibility to me.
But after you came,
I realized that treating
patients could be interesting too.
I'll gift this to you.
On your first visit,
you folded your registration
form into a paper frog.
I remember thinking,
"Wow, you can actually play
with registration forms this way."
And then later,
you even tried to change my prescription,
and doubt my medical ethics,
coming up with all sorts of antics.
But precisely because of this,
I started looking forward
to seeing you every week.
He Suye.
Me too.
(Hang City Renji TCM Herbs Plantation)
Mrs. Shen.
Here.
You've gone to so much trouble. Thank you.
These are all food
served in our staff canteen.
Medicinal food.
Although it might not look as
appetising as food sold in restaurants,
the taste is quite good.
They're all medicinal
ingredients in season.
I hope you don't mind.
It's wonderful.
Yes.
Mr. Shen.
Let me help you.
No need, no need.
I can manage it myself.
Shen, please sit down, sit.
Let Suye handle these chores.
Good, good.
Professor Yu.
Sit, sit, sit.
I'll go get something.
He, don't be so busy.
It's fine. See if anything else is needed,
I'll go get it for you.
We have everything. Sit down.
Okay.
That's not quite right.
On such a wonderful day like today,
how can we not have wine?
And this bottle of wine
is different from others.
I've infused it with the best
ginseng and goji berries.
It's been steeping since the beginning
of winter, almost half a year now.
Now is when both the medicinal and
alcoholic properties are at their best.
Well...
Since Professor Yu is here,
you should have a drink with him.
Alright, alright, alright.
She allowed.
Good, good, good.
Come on.
Let me help you.
Let me help you.
I'll do it.
It's much better than the
wine we have at home.
Well...
It's not in the same league.
Professor Yu, please have some first.
Thank you.
Ms. Liu.
It's fine, give it to me.
Miss Shen, why don't you have some too?
She can handle it.
I'm not very good at drinking.
I can't hold liquor well.
Besides, if my parents drink too much,
I'll have to take them home.
You guys enjoy yourselves.
Alright, alright.
He, have a drink.
Okay, I'll drink.
I thought you couldn't drink much.
- I’m fine.
- Come on.
Cheers.
Let us express our gratitude.
Cheers, Professor Yu.
Thank you.
Help yourself.
Thank you.
Thank you, He.
We're really grateful for
Professor Yu's invitation today,
allowing us to come to such a
wonderful place for an outing,
enjoy such good medicated diet,
and most importantly, I could
drink such excellent medicinal wine.
I should fulfil my duties
as a host, shouldn't I?
Duties as a host?
Don't you know?
I invested in this herbal garden.
Suye also invested a bit.
He Suye,
you didn't
explain this clearly to Miss Shen?
There's nothing to say about this.
You should introduce, how should I put it,
your personal qualifications to Miss Shen.
I must remind you,
you can't shortchange Miss Shen.
Don't always serve her
medicinal food at home.
You should go out
and treat her to some nice meals.
Yes.
We really love medicinal cuisine.
Yes, yes, yes.
He even prescribed some
medicinal recipes for us.
I didn't know about this.
Come, Mrs. Shen,
let me toast to you.
Let's do it altogether.
- Come on, altogether.
- Together.
Another toast to you, Professor Yu.
Good, thank you.
Please, don't stand on ceremony.
Professor Yu, today...
I'm so happy today.
Well then,
when you have time,
welcome to my home.
Come visit my humble abode.
I'd like to prepare some medicinal
food for you, if that's alright?
Good, good, good.
Okay.
Where do you live?
We live in the same
neighbourhood as He now.
I see.
You live in the same neighbourhood.
What a coincidence!
That's good.
If it's not inconvenient for you,
I'll find time to pay you a visit.
How can this be called a visit?
We're just having a casual meal together.
- Okay?
- Okay.
Just treat it as if you're
returning to your own home.
Welcome.
Alright.
Thank you, Mrs. Shen.
Certainly.
Thank you, Professor Yu.
Thank you, Mr. Shen.
Your alcohol tolerance is so high.
I'm happy drinking with you all.
Mr. Shen, have some more.
Alright, then Professor Yu, you...
Ms. Liu.
Professor Yu, I really can't keep up.
Ms. Liu, can you handle it?
I'll fill up Mr. Shen's glass.
No, no, no.
Here.
Grandpa, don't drink too much.
I'm fine.
Look at you...
Look at me.
Mrs. Shen,
if Mr. Shen likes it,
I'll give you some to take home.
Please don't let him drink anymore.
It's fine.
He can really hold his liquor.
You've had too much.
You jerk.
It's fine.
I've only had about 250 ml today.
Take some with you if you like drinking it.
Mr. Shen, have some more.
Alright, then Professor Yu, you...
I'll fill up Mr. Shen's cup first.
Professor Yu, okay.
Okay.
Good, good.
These two kids are destined to meet.
They really are.
I remember
one time, a student of
mine had an urgent case
and needed to go to
the hospital to help out.
So I went on the house call instead.
The first time...
That is the first time I met Miss Shen.
She was there for a follow-up visit
and left a deep impression on me.
A very beautiful girl
with great aura.
It's hereditary.
Yes, yes, yes.
All the good genes in our family are here.
Yes, yes, yes.
When I came back, I told him.
There was a girl there for a follow-up.
Beautiful and elegant.
I asked "Are you aware?
Do you know her?"
At that time, he looked very depressed,
like it was a pity.
Grandpa.
Enough. Stop talking.
Let me finish what I'm saying.
You were so afraid.
So scared.
Scared of missing this follow-up visit
and that Miss Shen wouldn't
come for treatment anymore.
Then, he wouldn't be able to see her again.
After some time, he was very happy one day.
Excited! He said, "Grandpa,
Grandpa, do you know?"
"Do you know whose phone number this is?"
I said, "How would I know
whose phone number it is?"
"It's the number of
the Miss Shen you mentioned."
He was so excited.
I'm telling you...
Alright, alright, Grandpa.
You've drunk too much. Stop talking.
I'll stop talking.
He's embarrassed.
He's embarrassed.
Come, let's drink.
I... I'll drink with you.
Come on.
Professor Yu, Professor Yu. Come on.
Everyone, please drink less.
Take it easy.
I'm definitely taking it easy.
All of you, please drink less.
He Suye.
Drink more, your alcohol
tolerance is good anyway.
If you can drink,
drink more.
I'll deal with you when I get home.
I'm so dizzy.
I'm drunk, I'm drunk.
You're drunk, huh?
Let me check your pulse.
Your body is quite healthy.
Just a bit...
Heartless.
Good that you know.
Switch hands.
Indeed heartless.
You're checking the wrong place.
Give me back the ring.
No.
I can't give you this.
Professor Yu said today that
he went on the house call on your behalf.
That was only my second visit,
which means after my first visit,
you couldn't stop thinking about me.
And now,
you say I hooked you first.
He Suye, give me the ring.
I’m sorry.
Isn't it enough that I
admitted I was wrong?
What were you wrong about?
It was clearly me who pursued you first.
But I still slandered you,
saying you hooked me.
And then?
Although I did it to pursue you,
I was indeed a bit shameless.
A bit, huh?
And then?
There's more?
I'm a scumbag.
Good that you know.
Don't be angry anymore.
Let go.
I won't.
I'll bite you.
Go ahead and bite.
What are you doing?
What do those ellipsis mean?
Your intention?
I miss you.
Afraid you'll slip away.
Want to hook you again.
Textual evidence. I've taken a screenshot.
Alright, you can make a video call now.
He, come here quickly.
There's a consultation.
Coming, coming.
I believe everyone has already heard.
Thanks to the efforts of
our Marketing Department,
in mid-May,
the 8th Summer Conference of the
Chinese Medical Association Conference
will be held at our hotel.
It's quite a big event.
Attendees will include top
experts from the medical field,
both domestic and international.
All of you here
already have rich experience
in organizing large-scale events.
So I believe we can handle this with ease.
Well...
There's nothing.
It's really thanks to Mr. Lin's efforts
that we get to organise another big event.
Just trying to earn
some extra bonus, right?
Later on, let's all take
some annual leave together
and go on a trip.
You two can even get double bonus.
What double bonus?
His is his,
and mine is mine.
I hate these big events,
they're exhausting.
Enough, enough, enough.
Calm down. Calm down.
Come on,
is my comrade
coming to the medical summit this time?
I don't know.
What's wrong?
Is there something going on?
Tell us.
It's nothing.
It's just that the two of us
were reviewing things
at home the other day,
and I realized he was the
one who pursued me first.
But before that, he tricked me
and made me take responsibility for him.
My comrade's level of
ideological consciousness
really needs improvement.
What should you do in this situation?
You should just aim his face
and slap, slap, slap!
Just hit him!
I'll slap you in the face.
Slap, slap, slap!
That's it.
Just kidding, just kidding.
I'm joking.
But seriously though,
you should really let my comrade come.
It's right in his professional field.
At the same time, he gets to see
your grace while hosting large events.
Who has any grace while hosting big events?
How about we have a few
drinks together this weekend?
Invite your Dr. He too.
I can handle my drinks pretty well.
But if he drinks, then...
His behavior when drinking
is also concerning, huh?
What do you mean "also"?
My drinking behavior is quite good.
Alright, alright.
We'll invite him then.
Let him come as the designated driver.
- Okay.
- Okay.
How's business?
It's alright. Um...
Dr. He, are you waiting here
for your girlfriend to get off work?
Yes, I am.
This is nice.
The bus is coming.
Is it this one?
Oh, yes it is.
Let's chat later.
Okay.
We haven't seen each other all day.
Can't I even have a hug?
I don't want to. I'm afraid
you'll trick me again.
Is the trust between us so fragile now?
Then explain to me.
Why did you hang up on my video call today?
I can actually explain this.
Hurry up, hurry up, the
consultation is starting.
Oh, I've lost my pen.
Lend me one.
No.
Why are you being so stingy?
Oh, right.
Wait, after the consultation,
can you help me with something?
Help with what?
Just help me, that's all.
You won't even lend me a pen.
Today at 8:45 in the morning,
I suddenly needed He for a consultation.
The consultation lasted
for about twenty minutes.
Is this alright?
You're still watching?
Didn't I already tell you?
I really didn't hang up on you on purpose.
I really had something urgent come up.
Not necessarily.
He's your colleague.
What if he's covering for you?
Then I'll have to show
you the surveillance footage
to prove my innocence.
No, no, no.
I can't trouble others anymore.
I'd feel embarrassed.
I'm not even embarrassed.
Miss Shen,
has your trust in me been restored,
even just a little bit?
Well,
just a tiny bit.
I'm hungry.
Be patient, it'll be ready soon.
Thank you.
Oh, by the way, He Suye,
our hotel is going to host an event for
the Chinese Medical Association.
Did you know about this?
I know about this event. What about it?
Will you be coming?
Grandpa might go,
but I'm not sure about myself.
I'm not qualified enough yet.
Alright.
On Friday,
Xiangya,
Senior Lin, and I
are planning to have a
small gathering and drink a bit.
Do you want to join us?
Sure, it's a good chance to relax too.
I'll be drinking then,
so you should be mindful.
I know.
I'll just drink cola, is that okay?
How's the soup today?
It's delicious.
The seasoning is just right.
He.
Director.
Let me tell you something.
Next month,
the Chinese Medical Association
will hold a summer summit in our city.
There'll be a session
for young doctors to present their reports.
The hospital recommended
your research on breast cancer.
Really?
The association's view is that
improving the quality of life
of late-stage cancer patients
is a new hot topic in today's society.
They're very interested
and are willing to give
you this opportunity.
Of course, the outcome
still depends on your research content.
Yes.
So this week,
make the most of your time
and try to have the report
organized and submitted by Monday.
The hospital will submit
it to the association
to help you secure this opportunity.
Alright, thank you, Director.
For you new doctors,
this is a great opportunity to stand out.
Others are also eyeing this chance eagerly.
So,
work hard these couple of days
and organize the report well.
Seize this opportunity.
Certainly.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Director.
You can go now.
Not off work yet?
I just have a report to write last minute.
You all can head back first.
Then we'll go eat something nice.
Goodbye, Senior He.
Goodbye, Senior He.
What should we eat?
I want to eat grilled fish.
Let's have hot pot.
Grilled fish again?
The hotpot is not that good though.
Then let's head over first.
Alright, we'll go eat first.
You're treating, right?
Okay, I'll treat you.
Bye-bye.
Senior.
Kexin.
It's raining so heavily today.
Yeah, the weather isn't very good.
Right, let's have a meal later.
Sure, what do you want to eat?
Clay pot chicken.
Let's go.
Let's go.
I probably won't be
able to make it tonight.
I have to work overtime unexpectedly.
Okay.
I'll come pick you up later.
No need. You focus on your work.
What’s wrong? You're making a face.
He Suye can't make it anymore.
He has to work overtime.
My comrade can't make it?
It's better that he doesn't come.
Let's go have fun together. Come on.
