=Episode 4=

Luckily, the hospital is close.

If anything had happened to him

after just a few days with us,

what would we have done?

Sorry. I'll shut my mouth.

Li Wu,

do you know

you're allergic to seafood?

No.

But you knew

you were feeling unwell, right?

Why didn't you say anything?

Hey, Jin.

He's all right now.

He doesn't say anything.

That's the problem.

You're right.

Let him rest here

for a bit.

We'll pick up his medicine.

We'll be back soon.

What's the matter?

Why are you so upset?

You scared him.

I just don't understand

why he can't say things directly.

I took him to try on shoes.

They didn't fit,

but he didn't say a word.

This afternoon, I took him to eat.

He felt sick

and still didn't say anything.

Am I that scary?

No, you're not.

You're the gentlest little fairy.

Perhaps it's not that Li Wu

doesn't want to talk to you.

He's just too careful.

What do you mean?

Think about it.

He just got here

and is living under someone else's roof.

He has no family around.

You're the only person

he can rely on right now.

Maybe no one

ever taught him

how to express what he needs,

or maybe no one

has ever treated him

as kindly as you do.

He cherishes it.

When people have something they cherish

or finally get something precious,

they handle it very carefully.

It's late.

You should head back.

You sure you don't need me to say?

No need.

We'll go home

once the IV is done.

Alright. I've got something

early tomorrow morning.

I'll go first.

Li Wu.

I just want you

to accept my care.

In a few days,

you'll start school,

and I'll be back at work.

I'll be busy once I'm working.

Maybe I won't have time for you.

So I hope

you can

settle in quickly

and fit into your school.

I hope everything I do

is helpful to you,

and not becomes

a burden.

It's not

a burden.

I never thought that.

From now on, whatever happens,

just tell me, okay?

Okay.

You

You want to use the bathroom?

When was your last period?

Last month, I guess.

About four weeks.

Is it hard to keep the baby?

Your progesterone level

is low.

The other readings aren't good either.

Low progesterone means

a risk of miscarriage,

not to mention

you're in early pregnancy.

Why are you so careless?

I didn't know I was pregnant.

I wasn't paying attention.

What should I be careful about?

(Emergency Gynecology)

I'll make you a list.

Go home and rest these days.

I'll give you a well

of progesterone injections.

Okay.

Thank you, Madam.

Is it hard to keep the baby?

Low progesterone means

a risk of miscarriage,

not to mention

you're in early pregnancy.

Why are you so careless?

Why did you stop talking

the moment I walked in?

We were discussing

the project proposal.

(Xiyue Project Group)

(Chat Info)

(Bian Xinran of Xiyue)

Take your allergy meds before bed.

This cup is yours

from now on.

Don't use the paper cup anymore.

Okay.

This wardrobe is for you.

You can put all your things inside.

When you're done unpacking,

come to the living room.

(Likes, Dislikes)

These are things

I like and dislike.

You can write yours

on the paper.

(Likes, Dislikes)

Li Wu, we haven't really

spent time together,

so we don't know each other well.

Writing this helps us

get to know each other quicker.

Can't think of anything?

No one

had asked me before.

It's fine if you can't

think of anything now.

Today, I learned

you're allergic to seafood.

You can add more

whenever you remember something.

And here.

This is for you.

It's my old phone.

Take it.

If anything happens at school,

and you need to contact someone,

it's more convenient.

You won't have to borrow a phone

from teachers or classmates.

Take it.

Thank you,

Sister.

Try to use it.

There's WeChat in here.

The green icon on the bottom left.

(WeChat)

I don't use this account anymore.

It's all cleared.

This one.

This one is my WeChat contact.

If anything happens,

you can text me.

I saved

four numbers in the phone.

(Mr. Cen, Chun Chang, Sister, Mrs. Cen)

Mine, my parents',

and Chun Chang's.

If there's an emergency at school

and you can't reach me,

call any of them.

Try calling me.

(Sister)

It's in my room.

(Brother)

Hello?

Are you still mad

about what happened earlier?

I'm not mad.

Really?

I'm not mad.

Li Wu,

you're going back to school tomorrow.

I hope

it'll be a new start for you.

Just run without holding back.

Thank you, Sister.

Are you having NCEE tomorrow?

You're racing against time.

Did you bring your phone and charger?

Yes.

Oh, right.

I'll transfer some money to you

on WeChat.

Not much. Just 2,000 yuan.

Just in case.

Well

I don't need it.

I have my meal card.

What if you need to buy stationery?

And there are nice places to eat

near the school.

You should treat yourself sometimes.

Alright.

Let's take the box

by the door.

It's messy.

We're still missing a mosquito net.

We'll buy one later.

By the way,

when your dormmates

are back after classes,

I'll treat them to lunch.

They'll be your friends.

Think of it as meeting them early.

What's wrong?

That's too much trouble.

You're right.

People your age probably

talk better among yourselves.

Go make friends on your own.

I won't interfere.

I

I didn't mean that.

I know.

I'm just giving myself

a way out.

Let's go grab a bite.

The parents' group

said you all need to order

custom uniforms these days.

They need your height and weight.

Tell me later.

Parents' group?

What?

Do I not look like a parent?

No, no.

Am I not old enough?

No, that's not it.

What does a parent look like

to you?

Like that over there?

You can keep up

with your studies, right?

Study hard.

Or like that one?

You'll do well in your studies.

Just work hard.

No.

It's

because

Because you're

a big sister.

Then I'll add my dad to

the parents' group.

He'll go with you

to pick up the uniforms.

No, no.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I was kidding.

Eat.

Are you happy?

What?

Being back at school

and being able to study

like everyone else.

I need to go handle something.

I'll be back after your placement exam.

You go on ahead.

Sister.

Sister.

I didn't accept

the money you transferred this morning.

I don't need it,

and I can't take it.

Alright.

Up to you.

If I need money,

I'll ask you.

New dormmate?

I'm Cheng Rui.

Let me introduce you.

Take off your headphones.

The new dormmate's here.

Lin Honglang.

You're the newcomer?

I'm not the most handsome guy here

anymore.

What's your name?

I'm Li Wu.

Gift?

You brought me a gift?

That's an interesting name.

My surname is Li.

Wu as in fog.

Fog, I see.

Please sit.

Have a sit.

Don't be shy.

Once you step through this door,

we're all brothers from now on.

Why do you always

call everyone your brothers?

Shut up.

We didn't mean to touch your things.

We were just curious about you.

We didn't take anything.

It's fine.

Why are you alone?

Where are your parents?

Why did you hit me?

It's his privacy. Don't pry.

What's wrong with me asking?

You wear glasses.

Can't you read the room?

- You're so insensitive.

- Can't you two be quiet?

He hit me first.

Are you sure?

The new guy is here.

You're making a fool of yourself

in front of him.

You'll get used to it.

Well

Hi.

I'm Ran Feichi.

Fei as in flying, Chi as in galloping.

I'm Li Wu.

My surname is Li.

Wu as in fog.

Sit.

Li Wu,

which class are you in?

I don't know yet.

The exam is this afternoon.

I'll explain to you.

Our grade

has six classes.

Students are assigned according to

their exam scores.

But Class One

is different from

the other five.

It's the Rocket Class.

They're geniuses

who could've gone to university

but chose to repeat a year

to aim for prestigious universities

like Huaqing or Yan University. Super scary.

You'd better not go.

They'll grind you to dust.

Ran Feichi and I

are both in Class Three.

Lin Honglang

is in Class Four.

I'm not that ambitious.

I just want to get into any university.

Do your best this afternoon

and try to get into Class Three.

Come join us.

Welcome.

(Rocket Class)

Sister.

You're done with the exam?

How was it?

Didn't do well?

Which class did you get?

Class Three.

That's not bad.

It's not the best Rocket Class.

You'd been out of school.

And you just get your footing back now.

Don't set the difficulty too great

from the start.

Cheer up.

I went to the mall nearby

and bought you a digital watch.

When you went for the exam,

I suddenly realized

you can't check the time on your phone

during exams or class.

You need a watch.

I already bought it.

You're taking it whether you want it or not.

It's necessary.

You're not going to get awkward

about this again, right?

I'm not.

Good.

The time is set.

Read the manual

when you get back.

I'm heading off.

Take care of yourself.

Call me if anything happens.

By the way,

a new mission for you.

You're too skinny.

Put on five kilograms.

I'll try.

Cen Jin ordered coffee for everyone.

Come get it.

Grab yours, guys.

Thank you for your coffee, Cen Jin.

It's nice.

Thank you.

How's your health?

I'm much better.

Thank you, Mr. Gu.

I'm relieved that you're back.

To be honest,

among the managers

in the Branding Department,

I have high hopes for you

and Wu Fu.

You flatter me, Mr. Gu.

I heard Xiyue's project

has already started.

Yeah.

It's not easy.

But everything

is going smoothly

so far.

You've all worked hard.

It's what we should do.

Wu Fu

is meticulous.

The follow-up work

is done extremely well.

You're really

a perfect team.

And now he's been promoted to director.

From here on,

you two need to work closely.

I don't quite follow.

Didn't he tell you?

Some time ago,

your health took a serious hit

because of work.

Wu Fu was very worried about you.

As a husband,

it's right for him

to take the director position

and shoulder more pressure.

You'll be partners from now on.

You'll support him.

This way,

your health

won't get worse.

You're both young.

Family matters too.

She changed her

He's a transfer student.

He won't take much of your time.

Just let him introduce himself.

Alright. Come in.

Come on, Li Wu.

Everyone,

this is our new classmate.

He's transferred from Yunfeng.

You can tell everyone the rest yourself.

I I'm

Handsome.

Cheng Rui,

come.

Come here.

You'll speak for him.

I'll give you the chance. Come on.

Go on.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Li Wu.

My surname is Li.

Wu as in fog.

I hope

we all get along.

You're tall.

Sit in the last row.

Alright. Let's continue.

Where's Yunfeng?

In Shengzhou.

Then why are you

repeating the year here?

Look at the board.

This is important.

This is a typical usage

of modal verbs

for the subjunctive mood.

Let's read the sentence.

Jenny should've kept her word.

I wonder

why she changed her mind.

Leader Wu has such luck.

Every project he gets

moves smoothly into launch,

and the results are amazing.

You know what?

The boss is over the moon.

A reminder.

Fu's been promoted.

Stop calling him

Leader Wu.

He'll be upset.

He won't.

Fu wouldn't mind something so small.

But honestly,

it's enviable.

He's only thirty.

At the age of thirty,

he's already at the peak.

I should work harder.

Maybe I can do the same.

First of all,

it depends on

whether you can marry a wife

as great as Jin.

What's that supposed to mean?

You don't know?

When Fu first joined the company,

Jin brought him onto a lot of projects.

Her dad also gave him

a lot of resources.

For real?

I didn't know that.

What are you doing here?

Congrats on the promotion.

Do you also think

I stole your credit?

If you think

what they said is wrong,

why are you being so sensitive?

About the divorce agreement,

do you still want to talk?

Sure.

Let's go somewhere else.

Your coffees.

This one is yours.

Light roast Americano.

I

Have you read the divorce agreement?

Not yet.

It's fine.

I'll walk you through it.

I had a lawyer review it.

You can check it yourself.

As for the major part,

the apartment in Muyunli

is a premarital property.

It has nothing to do with me.

The one I'm living in now,

I paid the down payment.

You probably

don't need it,

so I'm keeping it.

Of course,

if you want it,

I'm fine with that too.

If the down payment

is too much to return at once,

you can pay me in installments.

And the cars,

we have two.

- Later

- You're in such a rush to get divorced.

Is there something you can't wait for?

What do you mean?

Jin.

I know you've been hurt.

I also have my own resentment.

I really did try my best

in this relationship.

You heard

what they said just now.

My worth,

my dignity,

everything I've worked

so hard for,

all of it comes down to

depending on you.

I never denied you.

I need more than your approval.

Think carefully.

Have you actually been happy

these past few months?

I still have work to deal with.

Reply to me as quickly as possible

after you read the agreement.

Li Wu.

We're going to sleep.

What about you?

Stop studying.

Go to bed.

Okay.

(Sister: Okay. You too.)

Li Wu.

Look at you.

You're already absorbed in the code.

I know you're the tech type,

but you need breaks.

Come out with me.

Let's meet the investors.

I haven't solved the hardest part

of the new system yet.

How can I talk to them?

See?

That's the student mindset.

You know what?

If you try to explain

how your system

perfectly fits

their high-end neighborhoods and hotels,

do you think they'd get that?

They won't.

Sometimes, having good relationships

works better than perfect tech.

If we want

to grow this business

and expand the company,

we need to work on the connections.

Business is like w*r.

There are rules we need to play by.

Anyway, you're not getting out

of tonight's dinner.

Alright. Put it down.

Cheng Rui's already there.

He's waiting for us. Come on.

Come on.

Let's go.

When we get there,

I'll do most of the talking.

Relax.

We're here.

Sorry.

We're late.

Let me introduce you.

Li Wu,

our tech director at Tongchen.

Top student.

His mentor overseas

is a big name

in the field.

And this is

Mr. Qin I told you about.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Qin.

You too.

Have a seat.

Let's sit.

Why are you here?

I thought you hated these.

No choice.

Yi forced me

to come.

Sorry, we're late. Traffic was bad.

Yeah.

Well.

Since I'm late,

I'll drink three cups as punishment.

We brought you fruit.

Remember to eat it.

If you leave it in the fridge

too long, it'll dry out.

Alright.

Wu came by the house recently

to visit your dad and me.

He said he just got back

and wanted to visit us first.

Have you met him yet?

When was that?

Two weeks ago, right?

About that.

No matter what,

your dad and I

are his elders

who are tight with him.

What?

You're not happy

he came to see us first?

Wu is a good boy.

Every holiday,

he'd text us and send greetings

when he was overseas.

This time,

he brought a bunch of gifts.

He brought this

for the two of us.

And I made it

for you.

You never told me

any of this.

Do you know

how many times you go home?

Every time

we call, you just say two words,

"I'm busy."

You hang up before we can even talk.

I never told you any of this?

What could I say?

I really have been busy.

Wu didn't stay long.

He said he's starting a business

with friends

and has a lot to handle.

Children work hard

on their careers.

That's good.

I support that.

Jin, come eat some fruit.

Okay.

Don't touch her things.

She won't be able to find them later.

Look at this.

She has a problem with

where she puts stuff.

Look at those books

and boxes.

What's wrong with that?

Jin,

look at this room.

It has plenty of space,

and no one lives here.

Just put it here,

and it's done.

Look how spacious it is.

The wardrobe is empty.

I think

it should go here.

Mom.

Look.

Don't move my stuff.

Mom.

I'll sort it out when I have time.

If you put things away,

I won't be able to find them.

So messy.

Come here.

Have you met

with Lu recently?

What?

Don't play dumb.

I really like

Dr. Lu.

Just give him a chance.

Give him what chance?

He never said he liked me.

Every time he prescribes my meds,

he never hands them to me.

Instead, he calls you out

and hands them to you

to pass on to me.

It's so obvious.

How do you not see it?

There's nothing obvious.

Mom, we're just friends.

Don't overthink it.

I overthink it?

You're not thinking about it at all.

He's a neurologist.

Such a decent job.

And he's composed.

Why won't you

give it a try?

There's no why.

Mom,

don't rush it.

We'll take things slowly, okay?

Take things slowly?

Everything with you is slow.

If you'd listened to me back then,

I wouldn't have to

chase after you

every day now.

Give it another thought.

Whoever you end up with,

marriage still comes down

to the little things.

Alright.

I'll take care of it.

Don't worry.

Let's go eat some fruit.

Let's go.

Put away whatever you don't need

in the wardrobe.

- Tidy up the books.

- Let's eat some fruit.

How was it?

Had fun?

I had so much fun.

If these fellows

don't pay up,

I'll block

their office entrance tomorrow.

It's late.

You guys should go home.

Hang on.

Mr. Li,

I'm not done talking to you.

We can talk tomorrow.

I'm exhausted.

No.

I have to say

what I want to say today.

Mr. Li,

we're running

a company here.

What's a company?

A place that feeds people

and makes a profit, right?

We're not some national

research institute

or a university lab.

We need to make money.

Let me tell you this.

If I hadn't been

keeping our cash flow,

Tongchen wouldn't be where it is today.

Yes.

You're the most important in Tongchen.

We can't function without you.

That's not what I meant.

Look.

The car is here.

Get in.

Get in.

Cheng Rui, I'm not drunk, am I?

No. There's no way you'd get drunk.

I really I

Get in the car.

Li Wu, I'm doing this for your own good.

I'll send you home.

Off you go.

You all go home early.

It's all for Li Wu.

Get home early.

Careful.

Careful.

Bye-bye.

Li Wu!

Li Wu, I
