"Blue Lips"

[Episode 11]

Someone already paid your hospital bill.

What?

Did you pay my sister's hospital bill?

Hospital bill?

I have no idea.

Someone else must have paid it.

Who asked you to butt in?

How is it butting in?

It's a matter of life and death.

In this world,

is there anything more important than life?

You...

Besides,

you have no proof that I paid it.

Maybe some Good Samaritan did a good deed.

Fine.

You wait.

I'll transfer the money to you.
Transferring it won't work.

I won't accept it.

If you give me cash,

I'll just give it to your sister.

You scoundrel!

Don't think I can't deal with you.

You haven't opened this letter?

Why would I?

It's not mine.

So you don't know what this is?

I don't care.

It's probably just useless junk anyway.

Then why did you bring it to the hospital?

I was just...
Shixian.

Leave right now.

Don't let me see you again.

Or I won't play nice.

Sis.

Isn't this the guy from yesterday?

He hasn't left?

He...

He doesn't look like he's here for revenge.

Who exactly is he?

He...

Hello, Miss Wu.

My name is Teng Mo.

I'm a friend of Shixian's.

We met at Blue Moon.

To be exact,

I'm also a fan of his.

My parents are in Fengzhou.

They're getting up there in years.

Although their health isn't the best,

they can take care of themselves.

As for me,
I'm thirty years old.

Still unmarried.

I don't have any bad habits.

And I don't have a girlfriend.

I wonder,

do you have any other questions?

Are you crazy?

Why are you introducing yourself?

Who asked you?

Your sister looks like
she really wants to know.

You're really sick.

You've got serious issues.

Mr. Teng, right?

What do you do for a living?

I run an adult novelty store.

You just said you're thirty?

Yes.

Just turned thirty this year.

So you followed him all the way here

just because you like hearing him sing?

Not just

because I like hearing him sing.

Sis.

You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?

Right?

I haven't finished speaking yet.

Don't interrupt.

How long have you known each other?

Four months and twelve days.

That's not very long.

Shixian.

Come sit over here.

Mr. Teng.

Have you had breakfast?

I have.

We haven't eaten yet.

I bought a variety of things.

I don't know what you'd like to eat.

Just put it down for now.

There's no hot water left in the thermos.

It needs to get filled up.

I'll do it.

The rag on the table needs washing too.

It's about time.

The test results should be out.

They need to be collected as well.

No problem, I'll handle it all.

What are you doing?

Sis.

These are my chores.

Why let him do it?

He volunteered.

Right?

Of course.

You see,

two people taking turns is better than one.

Look at you, staying up so long.

You have dark circles under your eyes.

I'll go.

Whatever.

Head Nurse.

My friend came to visit me.

He ordered some food and drinks.

This is for you.

Mr. Teng, you're too kind.

We're well acquainted now, after all.

So, Head Nurse,

are there any single rooms in the
cardiovascular department available?

Could one be freed up?

There are too many patients lately.

A single room just opened up this morning,

and someone is moving in this afternoon.

There really aren't enough beds.

There's just no space.
I understand.

But you have to know,

the girl in bed 107,

she's quite seriously ill.

For a young woman,

well,

having so many people coming
and going isn't very convenient.

We can cover whatever
the price difference is.

I'll have to see how things go.

It's not something I can
just arrange on the spot.

How about this?
I'll keep an eye out for you.

Keep it quiet for now.

Understood.

Thank you, Head Nurse.

What is it?

Are you mad?

Don't follow me.

If others see us,

they'll wonder what's going on between us.

I didn't even do anything.

What's wrong with chatting
with my little brother?

Who's your little brother?

Why are you so mad?

What?

Your sister bossing me around

makes you feel bad?

Stop talking nonsense.

This is for you.

What's yours is yours.

Why won't you take it?

You should open it and take a look.

See what's written inside.

Then you'll understand.

Look at what?

You have a mouth.

Why not just tell me directly?

I'm the one who wronged you in this matter.

But there's no need for you to

suffer just to spite me.

Besides, every time I try to help you,

you refuse.

You insist on gritting your
teeth and toughing it out alone.

Bothering me just once,

what's the big deal?

What does it have to do with you?

Why should I accept your favors?

Shixian.

You should go home and sleep tonight.

There's nothing much going on here.

I'm fine, Sis.

Come on.

I'll cover for you.

What do you mean you'll cover for me?

Sis, really, there's no need.

You just get some good rest.

Go home.

Be good.

It's all set.

The room has been reserved.

Someone else's bed opened up.

We're moving over there.

Aren't those

really hard to get?

The Head Nurse
specifically saved it for us.

Wouldn't that be really expensive?

If there's a room, why not take it?

Right?

Sis.

How about

we head over there first?

That way,

we can all get some better rest.

You guys go ahead.

I'll clean this up.

Thank you.

Excuse me, nurse.

Why were we suddenly

moved to a private room?

Well, I'm not sure either.

Then what about the cost of this room?

Mr. Teng has already paid in advance

for two weeks.

Mr. Teng...

Thank you.

Mr. Teng,

thank you for everything
you've done for us.

Actually, the head
nurse was just being kind.

She saw it was tough for you on your own,

so she made the switch.

Mr. Teng,

please have a seat.

Miss Wu,

just call me Teng Mo.

Okay.

Teng Mo,

I'll get straight to the point.

Even though Shixian didn't say anything,

I know you two have

a deeper relationship than I imagined.

Shixian is a pure-hearted kid.

If it weren't for my illness,

his life wouldn't have been so rough.

So when you said

you met him at Blue Moon,

I was both sad

and relieved.

Take it easy.

Thank you.

You're a reliable person,

and very smart.

Ever since you showed up,

not only did we get a private room,

but we also don't have to
wait in long lines for tests.

Even the doctors and nurses
are treating us much better.

So I'm guessing

when Shixian was at Blue Moon,

you took good care of him too.

I truly appreciate it.

Don't mention it.

Well,

I wouldn't call it taking care of him.

But Shixian is still young, after all.

He's ten years younger than you.

He doesn't have much life experience.

The ways of the world,

and all its complexities,

he doesn't really understand them.

But he has his own way

of expressing his feelings.

That's what makes him so endearing.

So I hope you won't take
advantage of his kindness

to manipulate him.

Please forgive me, as an older sister,

for wanting to protect my family

and being a bit cynical.

I assume you gave him this necklace too.

However much this room costs,

I'll pay you back.

Miss Wu,

really,

I don't think that's necessary.

You're overthinking it.

The reason I'm helping Shixian

is because he once did me a huge favor.

Consider this me returning the favor.

Besides,

you guys genuinely need help.

I'm just covering the expenses for now.

Shixian will pay me back later.

As for the necklace,

he really did get it for you.

It's a token of his affection.

Rest assured,

I don't have any

ulterior motives when it comes to Shixian.

I simply want to share his burden.

You know, she might look weak now,

but she used to be so lively.

She was the class president growing up.

She had great grades

and loved making friends.

All the boys were
terrified of her back then.

So,

whenever they picked on me,

my sister always stood up for me.

Honestly,

she deserved a much happier life.

So you bought Vandacon for her.

Splitting one pill

to take twice.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

What good would that have done?

Would it have changed anything?

Besides,

my sister didn't want

anyone to know about her condition.

And neither did I.

After our parents passed away,

she was just a young girl,

playing both father and mother.

She took care of me

and paid for my education.

Only she knows

how much she suffered.

But I've never seen her cry.

After her diagnosis, she hid
it from me and kept working

just so no one would find out,

and so the company wouldn't fire her.

She didn't want her illness to
get in the way of my studies.

I was the one who chose to drop out.

So you went to college?

For about a year.

Which school?

Jinyang Institute of Technology.

Why aren't you going now?

I have to make money.

I need to earn enough in the next two years

to cover all her surgery costs.

The doctor

said her illness can't be cured.

Surgery is the only option.

Besides a lung transplant,

she also needs a heart transplant.

But

we haven't found a match.

And now she's showing

symptoms of heart failure.

She might not even be
able to have the surgery.

Don't worry.

Everything will be fine.

Honestly, for me,

dropping out is just hitting pause.

But if my sister is really gone,

it's truly over.

Sometimes I even wish...

I was the one who got sick.

Don't say that.

We both need to stay healthy.

Okay?

Sis,

I'm going downstairs to buy something.

I'll go.

What if the doctor comes?

It's fine.

I'll go.

I'll be right back.

You little punk,

I finally caught you!

So this is where you've been hiding!

Are you okay?

Let go!

Let go of me!

Run!

Run!

You guys are clearly extorting me!

What the hell are you talking about?

What the f*ck!

Why isn't Shixian back yet?

That kid.

I told him to buy a phone,

but I can never reach him once he leaves.

What happened to his phone?

He smashed it.

It rings, but he can't answer it.

When did that happen?

Over a month ago.

He fell into a flowerbed
while making a delivery.

He got a huge gash on his hand,

and his phone broke too.

I told him to buy a new one,

but he wouldn't spend the money.

I told him to replace the screen,
but he refused.

That kid.

I'll go look for him.

Press this bell if you need anything.

Everyone, look at this!

This guy is a deadbeat!

He hit someone and tried to run!

You guys are clearly running a scam!

What the hell are you talking about?

With hair like that, he
doesn't look like a good guy.

What are you doing?

Keep your hands to yourself!

Let's talk this out.

Who the hell are you?

Who are you?

If you're sick, go see a doctor!

Are you okay?

I'm warning you,

this has nothing to do with you.

Mind your own business.

You hear me?

Don't do things the hard way.

If you don't get lost,

I'll beat you up too.

You just want money, right?

I'll pay you.

Why should you pay them?

I didn't even touch that old lady!

Don't give them anything!

Shixian,

let me handle this.

Spit it out. How much?

Not much.

My mom,

she's in her seventies.

Last time,

he hit her and left her half-paralyzed.

Adding everything up,

you need to cough up 300,000.



We didn't hit her.

We're only offering this out of goodwill.

Even if we did hit her,

the compensation wouldn't be that high.

Medical expenses are calculated based on

the necessary treatment for the injuries

sustained in the traffic accident.

Paid upon proof of receipts.

Treatment for her underlying
conditions is not included.

Nutritional allowance is 20 a day.

Lost wages are 90.

Nursing care is 60.

If you want to settle this privately,

give me a lump-sum figure.

If you want to go by
the book, that's fine too.

Tell me which hospital she's in.

I'll get the most authoritative judges,

lawyers, and traffic cops to assess it.

To see exactly how much we should pay.

Alright, alright.

You tell me.

How much?



No way.
