01x17 - Episode 17

Post by bunniefuu »

(Episode 17: Artemisia capillaris has a bitter
and pungent taste with a slightly cold nature.)

(It enters the spleen, stomach,
liver, and gallbladder meridians.)

(Its actions include clearing damp-heat,
promoting bile flow, and reducing jaundice.)

You're not gonna submit
your homework today?

Is she asleep?

She's been working so hard lately again?

Have a good dream.

If possible,

I also hope you can recover faster.

Xifan, when do you get off work?

Let me give you a ride.

Since you flirted with me first,

you should be responsible for me.

You can't just walk away.

Xifan,

let's get back together.

Xifan,

let's get back together.

Go away. Go away!

Shen Xifan.

(Red beans)

You're not gonna submit
your homework today?

I'll

submit it to you tomorrow.

Dad.

How is your work in Hang City going?

Proceeding normally.

I'll go have a look in
the park this afternoon.

Handle the work as you see fit.

Come back when you're done there.

Don't stay in Hang City.

Don't worry.

When the time is right,

I'll go back with Shen Xifan.

Yan Heng,

I advise you to think carefully.

Without my support,

do you really think your
company can run normally?

We'll see.

Alright, I'm hanging up.

Yan Heng,

know your place.

You're disobeying me for Shen Xifan.

Mr. Yan, the flowers
you asked for are ready.

But there's a traffic jam.

We need to leave as soon as possible.

Ask a waiter to put
them in front of her office.

Xifan,

I'm sorry

for causing you trouble yesterday.

Submitting my homework
during the lunch break.

Red bean water?

Yes.

Did you buy it outside?

Freshly brewed wouldn't be this clear.

You really have sharp eyes.

Unqualified.

Come to my place tonight
for a remedial session.

Maybe another day. I
have something to do today.

Okay.

Let's meet another day.

Luckily, Mr. Yan went out to work today.

That has saved us a
lot of trouble in the hotel.

Getting off work peacefully!

How long has it been?

Does it still have any smell?

A little.

What kind of smell?

Let me smell it.

Why don't you ask him for a new one?

I haven't had time to see him lately.

What's going on?

Xifan.

Mr. Yan, don't you need to work?

You are so free.

I just rushed back from a meeting.

Let's have dinner together.

No need.

I heard

you were punished for
what happened yesterday.

It's all my fault.

Give me a chance to make it up.

What good is an apology?

Why don't you reimburse her

deducted bonus first?

Have dinner, right?

I'll go with you.

Staying here will only complicate things.

Don't worry.

Let's go.

You haven't been back to the
campus for a long time, right?

I've never come back

since you graduated.

Didn't you ask me to eat with you?

Isn't it good to revisit an old place?

But things have changed.

Mr. Yan, Manager Shen, here is your food.

Eat.

It's the grilled meat we used to eat.

I'll eat then.

How time flies.

When we first met,

you were only 19.

I was 21.

You're here. Let's go.

What's wrong?

Why are you covering your face?

I had Thai curry shrimps tonight.

I was allergic to the mango in the meat.

You're so ugly.

You think I'm ugly, huh?

No!

(Dad)

You're not gonna answer it?

It's from my dad. No need to answer it.

Actually, Mr. Yan never really likes me.

You knew that, right?

So you knew.

Then why did you come to me?

I want to marry you.

I understand my dad.

He's a businessman.

He wants me to marry a lady

from a rich family.

But I don't want to.

Xifan, in this matter,

you can completely ignore what he said.

I'm independent now.

I have my own voice.

He can't decide my life anymore.

My robot company has
applied for many patents

and won many awards.

It's been acquired by Zhongyu,

but I retain full control.

I can contend against him.

So?

So he has no right

to object to our marriage.

But I don't want to marry you.

Why?

There's no why.

Because I don't want to.

I don't want to marry you.

Xifan,

I know you are still mad at me.

But I already explained to you.

At that time, I was too busy

and too stressed

to focus on us.

And I'm not saying we should

get married immediately.

I just...

You just want to get back together,

right?

Yan Heng,

you never care about what I want.

You always ask me to cooperate with you.

Whether it's our breakup

or your sudden appearance this time,

you've never cared about my feelings,

even just a little.

I really don't want to marry you.

And I don't want to see you anymore.

Please don't come to me again!

Xifan.

And you know what?

Since college,

I've never liked grilled meat.

Where's the sachet?

Why is it gone?

Don't think you're not good.

And don't think you're worthless.

You're just hurt

by a bad relationship.

The most important thing

is to love yourself and live well.

He Suye.

What's wrong?

Where are you?

I'm on my way home.

I have a headache.

Can you come to take a look at me?

Okay.

Wait for me in the clinic.

Okay.

(TCM Clinic No. 3)

Restless mind.

Unstable qi in your liver.

Stagnant qi in your heart.

Ex-boyfriend trouble?

Go lie down.

I'll give you acupuncture.

Have a good sleep tonight.

Okay.

Hello.

We're closing.

Are you here for medicine or treatment?

I'm looking for someone.

Are you feeling better?

Much better.

My head doesn't hurt that much.

Then...

can you tell me

what on earth happened tonight?

He Suye.

I...

It's okay.

Lie down.

Mr. Yan, are you here for treatment?

Let me take your pulse.

It's free.

No need.

I'd never seek treatment
in a place like this.

I'm here to accompany her.

She's throwing a tantrum at me.

The acupuncture treatment takes 15 minutes.

Mr. Yan, you should

have a seat and wait for her.

Fifteen minutes. I'll wait.

Xifan, I'll be waiting for you outside.

Be patient.

Patients need quiet.

Otherwise,

blood might spurt from the needles.

Fifteen minutes.

It's done, right?

Let's go. I'll drive you home.

She still needs moxibustion.

Why don't you go to the toilet first?

Moxibustion will take more than 20 minutes.

Okay, I'll listen to you.

Mr. Yan, you don't need to go with her.

It's not proper to go to
the toilet with a woman.

You're being so nosy.

Dr. He, right?

Let me remind you.

Stop wasting your effort.

She won't fall for your tricks.

You must have pursued her for a long time.

If she fell for your tricks,

she would have been your
girlfriend long ago, right?

We were lovers for seven years.

We were about to get married.

I know her too well.

It's just like artemisia
capillaris in April.

What does that mean?

Are you cursing me?

No.

You can google it.

You are just a back-up,

but you've been trying so hard.

That's because you're not good enough.

I'm still in the game.

You won't have a chance.

Really? I thought she dumped you long ago.

Mr. Yan, you still won't leave?

I'm getting off work.

Xifan has left.

Mr. Yan.

Have you seen Shen Xifan?

No.

Why are you sitting on the ground?

Get up.

Your hands are so cold.

Come on. Put on my coat.

Are you cold?

Xifan.

Why can't you let him go?

It's not that I can't let him go.

I'm just mad at my past self.

No matter what happened in the past,

good or bad,

it's part of who you are.

Accept the past,

and focus on the present and the future.

Besides,

think from this perspective:

without him,

you wouldn't have come to the clinic

because of insomnia.

Right?

Good.

Stop crying.

Unknowingly,

I've treated you for so long.

You're finally healing.

You're not cold now, right?

Go back now.

It's a bit cold beside the river.

Don't catch a cold.

Keep your wrist steady, and press hard.

She's back. Our daughter is back.

You're back.

Why are you back so late?

I worked overtime today.

Are you hungry?

I made Red Bean Soup with Tangerine Peel.

Do you want me to heat it up for you?

I'm not hungry.

I want to take a shower and go to bed.

That tired?

Why did you work overtime?

There was a big event?

No.

I just...

met a difficult VIP client.

Who is that difficult?

I think you should go to
a TCM physician again.

You don't have to go to He.

You can get another doctor.

Maybe later.

Dad.

Help me hang the keys.

I'm going back to my room.

Do you think she looks weird

whenever we mention He?

A little.

A little?

It's so obvious.

Shen,

you should resolve the situation

with Mr. Yan as soon as possible.

He came to you frequently and publicly.

It's really not good.

After all, gossip is a fearful thing.

In our industry, we're
already walking on thin ice.

Every hotel has staff

fired for being involved with guests.

If you're dismissed
over something like this,

it'll be hard for you to
continue your career

in the hotel industry.

I understand.

(Meeting Hall)

You're still young.

You have a brilliant future.

Don't let this ruin it.

General Manager, thank you for your advice.

I will solve it as soon as possible.

My apologies

for the trouble.

That's all.

Go back to work.

Thank you, General Manager.

I'll ask my dad to pick it up after work.

Hello.

Hello.

Did you sleep well last night?

Yes, pretty well.

The guy last night...

When will he check out?

Perhaps in a week or two.

If you have any issues,

feel free to call me anytime.

No problem.

They need me for a meeting.

I'm hanging up.

Okay.

Then... keep in touch.

Okay.

Bye bye.

See you.

Make sure the rest area's tea

and refreshments are enough.

Okay. Got it.

Okay.

(Yuncong All Day Dining Restaurant)

Good afternoon.

(Manager of Front Office)

Are you looking for me?

Manager Shen.

Mr. Yan has been busy

negotiating the economic
park collaboration these days.

He's been in and out at all hours,

so he asked me to deliver these flowers.

No need to deliver flowers
anymore in the future.

I've thrown away the previous ones.

You don't have to accept them,

but I have to fulfill
Mr. Yan's instructions.

Then please tell Mr. Yan

to stop delivering flowers.

Why don't you tell Mr. Yan yourself?

I no longer have his contact information.

Thank you.

It's not spring yet.

The lingering chill is a bit strong.

I've prescribed two warming tonics for you

to regulate your spleen and stomach.

Try them.

Okay.

Auntie,

the most important thing
is to stay in a good mood.

Don't let anything weigh on your mind.

I happen to have something
weighing on my mind these days.

Dr. He,

you know what?

A terrible person showed up in the hotel.

It has made Xifan

very passive

and uncomfortable.

I know that person.

I saw him last night.

And today, Xifan suddenly asked me

if he came to me.

It's strange.

Did he do something in the hotel?

Once, I saw him

forcing Xifan to meet him.

It was quite a scene.

I heard Xifan got punished because of it.

He came again yesterday,

and forced her to go with him.

I think Xifan

has been in a bad mood these days.

She looks very haggard.

Auntie, don't worry.

I understand what you mean.

Xifan

is not a girl

who easily opens her heart.

So I don't really dare to interfere

too much in her personal matters.

Besides, she's a smart person.

She's just been a little lost recently.

I think things will be fine soon.

Soon,

spring will arrive.

Take this prescription to get the medicine.

Thank you.

No big deal.

Stay in a good mood.

Okay, thank you.

(Signing Ceremony)

He looks polished.

It's salty.

Have something sweet.

Too salty.

Balance it out.

500 million yuan?

So he's a domineering president.

What domineering president?

Who is a domineering president?

Suye!

The research project has been approved!

We've got the support
fund from the hospital.

Look.

Great.

Take a photo.

Not bad.

So,

will you take on this research
project again this year?

Of course.

I spent half a year on it last year.

I must do it well.

Congratulations.

You've been working on

the palliative care
topic for over two years.

Hard work pays off.

Why does that sound like
a backhanded compliment?

How so?

I also heard

our country will step up
efforts to support TCM this year.

Soon,

there'll be provincial

and national-level research
projects to apply for.

Where did you hear that?

Reliable sources.

I think it will be announced in a few days.

And I've seen your research project.

It's new,

but it's very valuable in this era.

It's got potential.

It's better than the
common research projects

of other hospitals

and schools.

I think it's very likely
that it'll get approved.

Now that's what I like to hear.

Right?

Alright.

Let's hope so.

If it really gets approved,

I'll treat you two to a meal.

How about this? I'll say
more auspicious words.

Treat me to five meals, okay?

You shouldn't be a doctor.

You should be a wedding emcee.

To be honest,

I outshine any wedding emcee.

I wish you a huge success,

great harmony and prosperity,

bountiful blessings,

and good luck.

Are you going to eat?

Take me with you. I'm a bit hungry.

Of course you should be

the first one to know such good news.

That's more like it.

Keep it up.

You're young and inexperienced,

but you've managed to
finish a research project.

Quite impressive.

When you become successful in the future,

your mother would be pleased

in heaven.

Alright, that's all for now.

Take care.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

The weather is nice today.
