[The Best Thing]

[Episode 2: Apple—Sweet in taste, sour, and
cool in nature. It benefits the stomach,

generates body fluids, relieves
irritation, and helps with sobering up]

I quite like this girl.

She's quite good-looking.

She has a nice temperament,
elegant and refined,

matching my taste.

She's four years younger than you.

Age-wise, it's also a good match.

Are you listening?

I'm listening.

But you don't have to push me like that.

I'm just asking you to
get her phone number.

You know, you could greet her daily,

check in, and show care.

Otherwise, you will only be able to see her

once a week during the follow-up visit.

How would she ever notice you?

I mean, come on.

You're not even worried about it.

You're already 31

and still don't have a girlfriend.

You...

It's precisely because I'm 31

that I'm being stricter with myself

and more cautious.

This is being responsible

to both myself and others.

I can't be like my dad,

marrying someone and
then neglecting her, can I?

Your mother...

Indeed, we were too hasty back then.

But you're being too cautious, aren't you?

If you want to be a lifelong
bachelor, then go ahead.

I won't say more. Do as you please.

Don't worry.

I'll handle

this matter myself.

What do you mean by "handle it"?

This girl...

I think she's quite pretty too.

And she's also my type.

Shallow.

Fine.

I'm shallow.

You're not shallow.

You're a gentleman.

I'm shallow, I'm shallow.

[Li Jie]

You brat.

You made me miss my rounds yesterday.

I slept well.

Thank you, Auntie.

You're welcome.

This patient has laryngeal cancer,

experiencing difficulty
swallowing after radiotherapy.

From the X-ray,

there's local stenosis.

I think putting in a stent would fix it.

No.

The upper part of the
esophagus is narrowed.

If we insert a stent,

the patient will feel a
foreign body sensation.

It'd be very uncomfortable.

Also, considering the
patient's advanced age,

we need to first determine
if it's tumor recurrence

or post-radiation local
scarring and contraction

before deciding on treatment.

If the patient's physical condition allows,

we can first use
phlegm-dissolving medication,

then combine it with cupping and
bloodletting on back pressure points.

You want to use acupuncture to
alleviate the patient's symptoms?

More or less.

That could work.

I think it could work.

It's feasible.

Hello.

This is okay.

Give me the medical record first.

Kexin!

Give me the medical record.

I'll take it over first.

I've finished it here.

You can take it over first.

Oh, okay.

Line up properly.

No rush.

Are there many patients today?

Yes.

[Front Office]

[Front Office; Shen Xifan]

[Staff Canteen]

Suye,

have a chicken leg.

You're being suspiciously nice.

Just say what you want.

Suye.

In the comments you gave on my thesis,

why did you put a cross

above my name?

Do you have some opinions

or suggestions about me as a person?

Shouldn't you already know

what I think about you?

Have this shrimp and go think about it.

Shrimp.

You didn't answer the phone
when I tried to reach you.

Hello, Manager Shen.

Hello.

Hello, Manager Shen.

I'm off work.

Manager Shen, hello.

Manager Shen, you're off work?

Bye-bye.

Look,

that guy outside is her boyfriend, right?

I'm leaving now.

Bye-bye.

Why didn't you answer the phone?

I was busy with work.

Why did you come to pick me up today?

You didn't answer your phone,

so how would I know if you had forgotten

that we were supposed to
have dinner together today?

I wrote it in my memo.

Manager Shen's boyfriend?

Where did she find her boyfriend?

Back in university.

Can you not use your phone while eating?

When I was abroad,

we called each other
hundreds of times every day.

Now I'm sitting right in front of you,

yet you still have to use your phone?

Xiangya has been working on improving
the hotel's Western cuisine recently.

I want to take a photo

for her to reference.

Why is she working so hard?

While she's young,

she should just hurry up
and marry a trust fund boy.

Xiangya is indeed beautiful.

She has many suitors.

But...

she's also working hard.

Is that so?

You two are really good friends.

One is working hard in her career,

while the other is
striving to study abroad.

I just have this plan.

I haven't even applied to schools yet.

Yan Heng,

you've finally come back to the country.

Let's not argue about this, okay?

Do I have to wait until
you're already abroad

before I start getting angry?

Xifan,

after we get married,

do you still want to
continue in this industry?

It's ultimately just a service industry.

When my future business partners

stay at your hotel,

you'll have to cater to
them like a servant, right?

Let's do this.

Quit your job tomorrow.

And forget about studying abroad.

After all, you're putting in
all this effort to study abroad

just to learn about hotel services, right?

I...

have always had this plan to study abroad.

It's just that when we
graduated from college,

you said Switzerland was too far away

and inconvenient for you to visit me.

So...

If you put it that way,

dating me

is hindering you from
becoming a hotel tycoon, huh?

That's not what I meant.

You've misunderstood.

I just love you too much.

That's why I didn't realize
you've always been so selfish.

Look,

you've been so busy lately.

Tonight, you finally have some time.

Let me show you my course schedule.

Stop it.

Yes, it's me.

Let me go to a quieter
place to talk with you.

The barbecue is here.

Quick, eat it while it's hot.

Besides barbecue, I
want to eat something else.

All this barbecue isn't enough for you?

I want to have Cantonese cuisine.

I want shrimp dumplings.

Rock, paper, scissors.

If you win, I'll buy it for you.

Impressive.

One more time.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Two baskets.

Rock, paper, scissors!

Ms. Shen?

Didn't you go out on a date with Yan?

Why are you back so early?

We just had a simple meal.

He had something to do, so
he left to take care of it first.

He finally came back for once

and still has things to do?

Yeah.

You must not have eaten enough then.

Sit down and have some more.

Come on.

No, no, it's fine.

I'm full.

I'll put the flowers over there.

Your traditional Chinese medicine
decoction is warm in the pot.

Drink it while it's hot.

Okay, got it.

You know, that kid Yan

is quite thoughtful.

He always brings flowers.

It's just that those flowers are too ugly.

Why do I feel that

when Ms. Shen's back, her mood is a bit...

Did she get upset because
Yan had something to do?

Never mind.

They've all grown up now.

Let them solve some things on their own.

There's no use in us worrying so much.

Let them talk more when they have the time.

Right, they're about to get married.

What's there that can't be gotten over?"

Exactly.

How about...

I break up with Yan Heng?

Why?

No, did Yan

do something while on his business trip?

No, no, nothing like that.

You've been together for so long.

How can you just break up like that?

That's right.

Who brought it up?

No one did.

What exactly happened...

You call Yan now and ask him about it.

How can I call him?

You're a man.

You should be the one to talk to him.

I can't talk to him about this.

If you can't talk to him,

then I definitely can't...

Yan Heng,

I've been working at the
hotel for nearly seven years.

You never thought my work was bad before.

Why do you now think

my job embarrasses you?

Yan Heng,

please don't be angry anymore, okay?

I didn't consider your feelings.

It's freezing.

Shen Xifan, it's exhausting
being your boyfriend.

You know how busy I am at work.

Can't you be more considerate of me?

You don't care about me at all.

You only care about yourself.

You're too selfish.

I just love you too much.

That's why I didn't realize
you've always been this selfish.

Whatever, I have nothing more to say.

You don't appreciate
my good intentions at all.

You're too selfish!

Why are you so selfish?

Shen Xifan?

Why are you sitting here all by yourself?

I wanted to come down

and be alone for a while.

Didn't I tell you

not to eat cold foods?

Yet you're still eating this?

Alright.

Since you've already eaten so much,

you might as well finish it all.

It's already past eleven.

Aren't you going to sleep yet?

What?

Isn't the medicine I
prescribed for you working?

It's working.

I've been sleeping longer
these past couple of days.

Looks like the medicine I
prescribed isn't the issue.

It's you who hasn't been
following the instructions.

Have you encountered

any troubles at work?

No.

Did you have a fight with someone?

Your boyfriend?

Actually...

it's not really a fight.

There are just some things

that I can't figure out myself.

It's my fault.

Are you feeling...

tight in the chest, upset,

and in a bad mood right now?

Come on, follow my lead.

Hold out your right hand.

Hold it out.

Use the knuckle of your thumb

to press

the Danzhong acupoint
in the middle of your chest.

You're not pressing hard enough.

Press harder.

Otherwise, it won't be effective.

It hurts.

Does it hurt a lot?

There's a saying in TCM that
it hurts when it doesn't work.

You're in pain because
you have a troubled heart.

So if I keep rubbing like this,

will the pain go away?

Pressing the Danzhong acupoint
can only relieve symptoms.

A troubled heart needs

to be treated with heart medicine.

Either clear the blockage,

or remove the root cause of the illness.

Remove the root cause?

It's getting late.

It's chilly outside at night.

Don't catch a cold.

Go home early.

I won't bother you anymore then.

I'll be going now.

Okay.

Oh, by the way,

if you still can't sleep at night,

put an apple by your bedside.

The fragrance of the
apple can help you sleep.

Okay, thank you.

Do you have apples at home?

I think so.

Alright.

Well,

see you at the next follow-up visit.

See you at the follow-up.

Good night.

Good night.

I'm leaving.

I was just talking nonsense earlier.

There's nothing going on.

Really?

You didn't have a fight, did you?

No.

I'm just too tired from work lately.

Don't worry.

Go to bed early, okay?

Good night.

Yan Heng,

when will you be available?

Let's have a talk.

Whether it's through WeChat

or talking face to face

when you come back next time,

When you see this WeChat message,

please remember to reply to me.

If you encounter any trouble at work,

don't keep any worries to yourself.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Actually,

at work,

I don't have any troubles.

So, it's because of your boyfriend?

You're so blocked up.

No wonder you can't sleep.

You're not drinking?

Yesterday, I was secretly eating ice
cream downstairs in the neighborhood,

and Dr. He caught me red-handed.

He specifically reminded
me to watch my diet.

In the neighborhood? At night?

He works at a clinic near our neighborhood,

so he lives in our neighborhood.

That's pretty normal, isn't it?

By the way,

our hotel is about to host a summit.

Zhongyu Group is going to

hold a forum at this summit.

Is Yan Heng coming?

I don't know.

I can't reach him.

What's wrong with you?

This is

called Danzhong acupoint.

If you massage it more,

you can disperse the qi.

This way, you won't feel so blocked up.

Is this how you press it?

I'll try it for a while too.

I'm about to go crazy with all these

various demands from
the participating companies.

[Hong'an Gate]

Your complexion looks so bad.

You didn't sleep well again, did you?

Since that day,

I haven't been able to sleep well.

Come on, let me take your pulse.

Okay.

It's blocked again?

Don't bear these emotions alone.

Let it out.

It's better than keeping it bottled up.

I've been too busy lately.

I don't have time to talk about this.

It's alright.

We can take it slow.

You can trust my...

Medical skills.

I'll prescribe you some medicine
to soothe your liver and regulate qi.

It can help relieve some of your symptoms.

But the most important thing

is to untie the knot in your heart.

I understand the reasoning.

Have you tried acupuncture before?

What's with that expression?

Are you afraid of needles?

I've never had it. I won't faint, I think.

That's a pity.

Otherwise,

if you fainted, you could
fall asleep right away.

Acupuncture.

I'll try on a few acupoints
to calm your mind.

After the acupuncture, you should
be able to sleep more comfortably.

Let's go.

Prepare for acupuncture.

You can even take a nap when you get back.

Dr. He,

how many needles are we going to use?

A total of five acupoints.

Don't be nervous. It's fine.

Don't move.

It's okay.

Relax.

We're starting.

Relax.

How is it?

Is it okay?

Two acupoints on your hand.

Okay.

Disinfect first.

Okay.

Two more acupoints to go.

Okay.

The needles are all in place.

The acupuncture treatment
will take 15 minutes.

You should rest for a while.

Can I use my phone then?

Why don't you consider closing
your eyes and resting for a bit?

Just lie down then.

Okay.

[TCM Room 3]

She fell asleep.

He, let's have dinner together.

Let's eat at your place.

You go ahead, I'll get the food.

Okay.

You're awake.

How did I fall asleep?

How long have I been sleeping?

I gave you the acupuncture at 11:10.

It's now 1:07.

I slept for so long?

I'm sorry.

I've wasted your time.

I'll leave now.

Wait.

Take this sachet.

Sachet?

It contains some herbs
that can calm your nerves.

It can help relieve your anxiety.

It smells quite nice.

Really?

When you feel chest
tightness or irritation,

you can take a sniff of it.

It'll definitely work better than an apple.

Then I'll always carry it with me.

But how much do these cost?

This...

This is free.

It's a gift from me.

Okay.

Thank you.

See you next Saturday then.

Alright.

I'm leaving.

Bye.

Are you writing this now?

This is just an overall plan.

We'll refine the details later.

I still need to have a meeting
with the Front Office staff later

to review the room reservation system.

This is my first major event

as the new Front Office Manager.

I must do it well.

I hate these big events the most.

The management come here for a vacation.

While we, as service staff,

are here to suffer.

It's all your Marketing Department's fault.

Why do you have to come
up with so many fancy ideas?

Can you stop being so smug when
you're already getting the benefits?

If our Marketing Department
doesn't take on more big events,

where would all those
year-end bonuses come from?

That's true.

My study abroad agent told me today

that my practical
experience is still a bit thin.

So I need experience
with a large-scale event.

If I can successfully complete

this IT summit,

then

my chances of getting an offer

will

increase significantly.

You're setting your standards too high.

You insist on going to those

top 3 schools.

With so many competitors
from all over the world,

it's very difficult.

I think

if I'm going to spend
money to study abroad,

I should go to the best schools.

Otherwise, it's meaningless.

I agree.

Are you planning to apply for

the hospital's research funding this time?

I'll definitely apply.

I'm preparing the materials now.

But I might not be able to apply for it.

I did get it last year,

but the hospital didn't
pay much attention to it,

so they didn't allocate much funding.

Your main research direction is too niche.

Palliative care in TCM oncology,

isn't it just end-of-life
care, to put it bluntly?

It's hard to see immediate results.

Only someone with great compassion like you

can persist for so many years.

I truly admire you from
the bottom of my heart.

And our hospital's funding is limited,

so the management can
only allocate it this way, right?

Yes, indeed.

You could ask Professor Yu
to endorse your application.

You'll definitely get the funding then,

and probably more of it too.

Forget it.

Professor Yu has so many teaching
tasks that he can't finish them all.

I won't bother him.

Alright.

Why are you asking me about all this today?

I care about you.

Speak up.

What do you really want to say?

It's like this.

There's a blind date event tonight.

It's all doctors and nurses
from the First Hospital.

They're short two men.

I want you to come with me

to give me some courage.

I'm not going.

I haven't even finished
writing my research proposal.

When can't you write that proposal?

You're not getting any younger, you know.

It's time to start thinking
about your personal issues.

You should find...

I think

you should find someone from our hospital.

Then you can go to work
and leave work together.

It's so convenient. Why
bother with blind dates?

Ah, you're no fun.

How can you pour cold
water on me like that?

I really want to stop being single.

Xifan,

I've been thinking for a long time.

We should break up.

[The other party has rejected.]

[Yan Heng]

Why don't you just delete me?

Did she have another
fight with her boyfriend?
