[Nanwu University, Orientation Day]

Hello, my friend.

We've got a new roommate.

A big welcome

to our new roommate.

A big welcome

to...

All right. Now that we're all here,

let me say a few words.

We've been assigned

to the same dorm for four years at uni.

That's got to be fate.

Don't you think?

Fate brought me to you?

Well, there goes my college experience...

Chen Junwen,

listen. I've put up with you for long enough.

If we weren't high school classmates,

I'd have switched dorms

and roommates already.

Sure, go for it.

- I'm not switching anymore. - Do it right now.

I'll stay here to annoy you every day.

- I'll drive you crazy. - Excuse me.

- Excuse me. - I'll drive you...

This chubby guy here

is Qian Fei,

and I'm Chen Junwen.

We're both majoring in AI.

Hey, man.

What about you two?

I'm Duan Jiaxu, majoring in Computer Science.

Hello.

You look good.

He's my classmate.

Not the chatty type.

His name is...

Sang Yan.

Such a deep voice.

Sang Yan!

Man, I missed you!

Why aren't we in the same dorm?

I was really hoping to be your roommate.

I'm in the building next door.

That's quite the greeting.

Hey,

who here is having trouble dealing with him?

Awesome!

Let's swap rooms.

Dude,

we'd much rather

share a room with a quiet cool guy

than a walking loudspeaker.

You don't know me well enough.

Anyone who does will tell you I'm the cool type.

- Oh? You're a cool guy, too? - And I'm very quiet.

What bothers you most when you sleep?

Snoring is the worst for me.

I hate it when people grind their teeth at night.

You know, he...

Knock it off.

When did I ever grind my teeth?

Even my parents never said that.

Sang Yan, what bothers you the most?

Noise.

Snoring and teeth grinding are nothing.

Yeah.

The worst is

when someone sleepwalks at night.

Waking up to that is terrifying.

[Episode 14]
[Can't Let Go]

[3248 Days]

[Day 186 of Living Together Officially]

I must have sleepwalked into the wrong room

and ended up in the wrong bed.

That's the only explanation.

Wen Yifan.

Why are you here?

Explain yourself.

You're dreaming.

Once you wake up, things will be back to normal.

Do I look that dumb to you?

Just keep sleeping.

You'll look normal once you wake up.

Leaving in a hurry, huh?

What was that?

Look,

I'm not trying to ignore what happened

this morning,

but I really have to go.

I have an interview scheduled,

and I'm kind of running late.

Can we talk when I get back tonight?

No, we can't.

Tell me now.

What was going on earlier?

I was sleepwalking.

It's not exactly something I can control.

Didn't you say before

that you wouldn't come into my room?

I honestly have no idea

what happened this time.

It's totally on me,

but I promise it won't happen again.

Honestly,

I'm a little scared.

I have no idea how far you'd go.

What if one day I wake up

and realize

you've ruthlessly stolen my innocence?

You really don't have to be so obsessed

with me.

Hold on.

Can we just stick to the facts?

I sleepwalked

into your room,

accidentally found

a spot on your bed,

and fell asleep.

I swear I didn't touch you.

How do you know?

I woke up before you.

But you, on the other hand,

were all over the place when you slept.

You even pulled me back

when I was about to leave.

I pulled you back?

What happened next?

You need to fill me in.

Anyway, you made physical contact with me

while you were still asleep.

I'll just call it even.

Call it even?

Even in terms of what?

The last time when I sleepwalked, I ended up hugging you.

So that's how you make things even?

I still got the short end of the stick then.

It's pretty clear

who's into who here.

I'm really going to be late.

We'll talk about it tonight when I'm back.

Ma.

Ma.

Sir,

I'm coming.

Where's my medicine?

Isn't your medicine

always kept in the cabinet?

There's one packet missing.

All right. I'll help you look for it.

- Hurry up. - How is that possible?

How did it end up here?

Sir, I found it.

Why did you throw it away?

What happened to the medicine inside?

It's all gone.

All gone?

Well, if that's the case,

what are you taking today?

I should have gone for my check-up two days ago,

but I forgot.

Sir,

I'm taking you to the hospital now

to see the doctor and get your medicine.

I'll go downstairs to get the car.

Okay.

Sir,

just stay here and wait for me.

I'll be back once I park the car.

Don't wander off.

What do you mean?

Where else could I go?

Go park the car now.

Go.

Madam,

be careful to avoid eating those things

the doctor mentioned.

I will.

Get plenty of rest.

If you feel unwell again,

feel free to contact me, and I'll accompany you to the doctor.

Sure.

Madam, please wait here for a moment.

Let me check it for you.

Thank you.

[Reception]

Lin.

Mr. Ma.

Have you seen Mr. Su?

Mr. Su, the grandpa?

Yes.

I haven't seen him.

Oh no,

this is not looking good.

What's wrong?

I went to park the car

and told him to wait at the door.

When I got there, no one was around.

I even checked upstairs.

Mr. Ma, don't panic.

Hi,

can we make an announcement to look for someone here?

Shall I help you with the announcement?

I'll check it for you.

You can go ask the guard ahead first.

He seemed a bit strange.

And he looked quite anxious.

He was probably trying to find someone.

What happened next?

After that...

He just hailed a taxi and left.

He hailed a taxi and left?

Yes.

Where did he go?

How should I know?

Do you think

Grandpa ran away with her?

No,

I didn't say that.

I just said it was possible.

But how could it be such a coincidence?

Fang called in sick this morning, saying she felt dizzy,

and then Grandpa disappeared.

Honestly, though,

I can't picture what it would be like

to catch someone having an affair.

Could you stop overthinking it?

She answered.

Fang,

how are you feeling now?

I got some fruit

and thought I'd come to visit.

Someone's already here to check on me,

so don't worry.

That's even more reason for me to visit you.

It won't be necessary.

Thank you.

Bye.

Did she hang up?

Can we trust the address?

Of course.

I have many friends on Help Me,

so getting an address is easy.

I didn't know

you were so resourceful.

This is it.

Is it here?

All right.

I got this.

The door is not closed.

It's not closed.

Let's go.

Wait.

What if Grandpa is in there?

Aren't we here to find him?

Wait.

Have you ever done this before?

Yes.

What should I do then?

Play it by ear.

Okay.

Wait.

What now?

I need a deep breath.

Are you ready?

Yes.

I just don't want to see anyone...

- when I'm like this. - What's the matter?

- What are you doing? - Quick.

I'm scared.

You are already here.

Mr. Su,

I don't want to.

Listen to me.

Be good.

An?

Grandpa,

you're really here.

Fang is sick,

so I'm here to check on her.

What happened just now then?

Just now?

She's being stubborn

and won't take her medicine.

You were supposed to pick up the medicine at the hospital first.

I saw in the group chat later

that Fang was sick,

so I came to see her. Is that not allowed?

That was on purpose then.

What do you mean?

When did I need you to tell me what to do?

I'll do whatever I want.

Fang,

I'm leaving the medicine here.

Be good and take it.

Remember to take it.

Thank you,

and sorry for the trouble.

I... Wait...

Fang, I hope you get well soon.

I'll leave the fruit here.

Can you

take me for a ride on your bike?

Now I understand

why Grandma wanted

to find her own path in life.

When there's no more love between two people,

there's no point in staying together.

Qiao,

I'm all alone again.

How come

you've never talked

about your parents?

They're both gone now.

I have an older brother who's much better than me.

Since I was little,

I've always been the most disappointing one in the family.

I'm nothing like my brother.

When compared to him,

I just feel like a burden to everyone.

In 2008, during the Olympics,

I told my dad

I wanted to go to the Bird's Nest to watch the opening ceremony.

He said he'd take me there

as long as I made it into the top 15

of my class.

But in the end, I ranked 28th.

How many people were there in your class?

Thirty.

That's all right.

At least you weren't ranked last.

You'll never understand

what it's like to always be at the bottom

and feeling like

I was dragging everyone down no matter what I did.

I often wonder

if I had done better,

would my whole family

have gone to Beijing together happily?

When my dad saw my grades,

he got really upset.

He was supposed to take my mom, and my brother

to watch the Olympics,

but out of anger,

he changed the plans

and headed west instead of north.

Later, due to a rainstorm and slippery roads,

they got into a car accident and passed away.

The three most accomplished people in my family

disappeared from my life all at once.

Do you love them?

Of course, I do.

How could I not love them?

Good then.

They must love you too,

but the lack of communication between you

has made it harder to express that love.

My name is Zhong Siqiao.

Perhaps because of the "Qiao" in my name,

I often find myself beneath bridges,

gazing at one after another,

wondering how many people

they've helped to connect.

And suddenly, I feel a sense of hope.

With a bridge,

you can reach another city

or the beginning of a new dream.

Isn't that how relationships work too?

You have a bridge hidden in your heart.

Once you cross it,

you'll realize that many people love you.

Really?

Absolutely.

Real love isn't earned by buying others handbags

or getting first place in class.

It's something you receive

by offering your genuine love.

It smells amazing.

Yum.

Someone rarely asks me to eat out,

and yet she seems so lost in thought.

I sleepwalked again.

Did the sleeping bag I gave you not work?

I accidentally forgot to use it last night.

So, what did you do this time?

Qiao,

can I ask you something?

Ask away.

Didn't you end up

in the same bed with Su Haoan

by accident?

Did he

apologize to you afterward

or

offer

any compensation?

Technically,

I was the one who got into his bed,

so it's me who owes him.

So, how do you intend to make it up to him?

It's not like a debt that needs to be repaid.

How am I supposed to make it right with him?

So that's how you make things even?

I still got the short end of the stick then.

It's pretty clear

who's into who here.

But he seems to feel like he's been taken advantage of.

What?

Who?

No one,

just a friend of mine.

So,

did Su Haonan ask you

for an apology or any kind of compensation afterward?

I'm a girl.

If he's making a big deal out of this,

that's kind of petty.

But during the Spring Festival,

I pretended to be his girlfriend

and had dinner with his grandparents.

I guess that makes up for it, right?

You even pretended to be his girlfriend?

It was only for show.

I was merely doing him a favor.

I won't get involved in his matters again.

How long do I have to keep making up for this?

[Su Haoan's grandpa]
See, here we go again.

Hello.

Oh, it's you, Mr. Ma.

What's the matter?

Mr. Su kept talking

about a car accident

and someone being in urgent care,

but he couldn't give

a clear location.

I tried calling Haoan,

but there was no answer.

Okay, I'm on my way there now.

What's wrong?

It seems like something's happened.

I'll let you know once I figure it out.

Ride safe.

Okay.

I'm off.

Stay safe.

Mr. Su,

do you know where Haoan had the accident?

Let's go pick up Grandma first.

Grandma?

Grandma,

where are you going?

You're not planning to drive off and travel again, are you?

If I don't go traveling,

am I supposed to just stay here looking after this old man?

I thought you had already left.

I was going to leave as soon as we finished

talking.

Grandma isn't in Nanwu.

Grandpa,

do you know which hospital Haoan is at?

Hey,

Grandpa said you were in a car accident.

Are you injured?

What?

I'm at work.

I've just finished a meeting.

Grandpa,

Haoan says he's at work and has just finished a meeting.

It's not An,

but his parents.

They got into a car accident

and are now at the hospital.

Grandpa,

how about you talk to Haoan?

Hello,

Grandma.

Who is this?

Well...

Who's this?

Hurry up.

What is Grandpa babbling about?

Wait.

Grandpa's confused, and you're just following suit.

What's going on?

Maybe I should talk to you later.

All right.

Sorry

for making you worry.

When I was out with Wood,

I saw a car flip over.

Good dog, Wood.

There were many people

trapped under the car.

I suddenly remembered

the car crash

involving An's parents,

but

I was so confused

that I thought it was actually happening.

It hurts so much.

I need to help them.

It's all my fault.

The one who suffers the most

is An.

He's lost his parents

at such a young age.

An,

don't be afraid.

Grandpa and Grandma will take care of you.

Be good.

Grandpa.

Grandpa, what are you doing?

I'm all grown up now.

No need to worry about me.

I'm fine.

Who's worried about you?

I'm worried about this one here.

Why is it so sleepy in the middle of the day?

It's getting old.

Lately, it's always been sleeping when I see it.

How old is it?

I'm not sure,

but it's pretty old.

Grandpa's the same.

When people grow old,

it's inevitable they'll have moments where they just don't make sense.

They will often behave like a child.

My dad isn't that old yet,

but he's also very stubborn now,

and it's hard to reason with him.

Wood,

she's badmouthing you.

Bite her.

Are you implying something about Grandpa?



was also the year my parents

passed away in a car accident.

On the day my parents and my brother were being laid to rest,

Grandpa wouldn't let me go to the burial site.

That was the hardest moment of my life.

When I came back from the funeral,

I found it curled up alone by the door,

motionless like a block of wood.

Wherever I went, it followed,

and I couldn't chase it away.

At that moment,

I actually feel quite sympathetic toward it.

Just like me, it lost its parents

and its support.

So, I decided to adopt it.

Why didn't you let it stay with you then?

Every time I see it,

I'm reminded of how I felt back then.

Why are you back so late?

I have a lot of orders today.

We can grab

some supper together later.

I'm not hungry.

But I am.

The one who suffers the most

is An.

Don't be afraid.

Grandpa and Grandma will take care of you.

Qiao.

Sweetheart,

you're all grown up.

Why are you still acting like this?

Is there a certain age when you're not allowed to act like that?

No.

It's just you haven't hugged me in ages.

What, I can't hug you?

Of course, you can.

Hold on.

Were you

bullied out there?

Did someone bully you?

Tell me.

No.

Really?

I just wanted to hug you.

Why are you making such a fuss?

Now, I feel relieved.

You go home first,

and have your mom cook me a bowl of noodles.

I'll head back in a bit.

Okay.

Come back soon.

I'll leave now.

Stay safe.

You are back.

My dad says he's hungry and wants some noodles.

I was just about to go to bed.

You cook the noodles for your dad.

What happened?

You look so pale.

Are you sick?

It's nothing. I think I just caught a cold.

You think this is nothing?

Rest for a few days.

You're a girl,

yet you spend all day

buried in work,

never taking care of yourself.

How will you ever find a partner?

Mom, stop nagging me.

All right.

I'll make some noodles for your dad later.

Take this medicine

and get some sleep.

Okay.

Don't stay up late.

Qiao, you mustn't get sick.

I'm stuck on some homework,

and Mom won't let me sleep.

You've got to help me.

Guoqiang,

leave your sister alone.

Can't you see she's not feeling well?

Do your homework by yourself.

Mom, it's fine.

Which questions are you stuck on?

Let me take a look.

If you come any later, it'll be all gone.

Hurry up.

[Sang Yan]

When will you be back?

Wen Yifan.

Why are you here?

Explain yourself.

Honestly,

I'm a little scared.

I have no idea how far you'd go.

What if one day I wake up

and realize

you've ruthlessly stolen my innocence?

[When will you be back?]

I've got something to handle today,

so I won't be home early.

We'll talk

another time.

Mu Chengyun.

What is it, Yifan?

Didn't you want me

to help you pick a gift?

Do you still need my help?

What?

We got off work early today.

Sure.

Thanks, Yifan.

Wen Yifan,

one must take responsibility for their actions.

Okay. Got it.

I'll try to be back as early as possible.

Does he really have to interfere this much?

You two are nothing more than roommates, right?

We have an agreement for co-renting.

Speaking of which,

the senior we're buying a gift for

was actually in the same class as Sang Yan.

He got married right after graduation,

and now he even has a child.

Yifan,

how did you and Sang Yan meet?

I remember you graduated

from Yihe University, right?

We were high school classmates.

High school classmates?

Not first love or anything?

No.

I heard that Sang Yan

had a girl he really liked in high school,

but he never managed to win her heart.

Even after graduating from university, he still couldn't forget her.

I'm not sure.

I'm really curious.

What kind of person

could make someone as outstanding as Sang Yan

like her for so long?

At the graduation gathering,

someone even asked

if he was heartbroken because the unattainable

always seems the best.

You remember what he said

at the gathering?

Yeah,

I remember now.

He said,

"Do you really think I'm that sentimental?"

Why would he say that?

Why wouldn't he?

He's too proud

to reveal his vulnerabilities

in front of others.

You seem to know him pretty well.

Maybe he was just joking

after drinking too much.

Couldn't it be that he drank too much

and used a joke

to say what he really felt?

Yifan, thanks for today.

How about strolling around a bit more?

Or is there something you'd like to eat?

My treat.

No, thanks.

I recall

that Sang Yan also said something else.

He mentioned

that if he ever met that person again,

he'd still be good to her,

but his attitude would be different.

So, whoever he's being nice to now

should watch out.

Maybe he has an ulterior motive,

like with you.

Me?

Yes.

Haven't you watched revenge dramas?

It's always the same plot.

They'll act like they care, treat you nicely,

and when you're deeply invested

and can't withdraw,

they ruthlessly abandon you

to complete their revenge.

Didn't you say he only said

one sentence that night?

Did I say that?

I don't really remember.

Maybe I was drunk and got it wrong.

In our line of work,

it's fine to joke around and gossip outside work.

But when it comes to journalism,

we can't have this kind of attitude.

Thanks for telling me this,

but when it comes to relationships,

I might not be less experienced than you.

I may not know much about relationships.

But I believe

what matters is sincerity,

not experience.

Just like a first love,

pure and sweet,

with a heart that only wants to bring joy to the other person,

without expecting anything in return.

Anyway, you got what you needed, so I'll head home now.

Bye, Yifan.

Well.

You are...

You still remember to come back?

Didn't we agree

to dress appropriately in shared spaces?

I've already accepted my fate.

What do you mean?

You've already kissed me

and touched me.

Does it even matter

whether I'm wearing clothes now?

Have you been drinking?

Then I'll keep it short.

After what happened this morning,

I realized I might have no sense of direction

when I'm sleepwalking.

Blocking the door with a chair won't help.

From now on, you'll need

to lock your door at night.

I'll also go to the hospital soon...

Are you

blushing?

And follow the doctor's advice.

Why are you blushing?

It's too hot!

Haven't you noticed how hot it's been lately?

I… I just haven't seen

a guy's body like that before.

Besides,

before we moved in together,

we made an agreement.

I said you couldn't wear

revealing clothes in shared spaces,

and you agreed.

You even said I must be dreaming.

I did say that,

but I'm in a good mood today,

so I'll indulge you a little.

I'll try to make sure

this doesn't happen again.

You should be more careful as well, okay?

You handle things

the same way every time.

But what's the result?

In the end,

you still end up doing it again.

Tell me what you want then,

and I'll do my best to cooperate.

I have

just one request.

Until you find

a real solution to this,

could you

keep your distance

from other men?

Let them stay away.

Don't spend time with them

while making me

your little pushover

who lets you get handsy

whenever you feel like it.
