[Shenzhen Xinyi Sports Training Center]
Old An, how is it?
This is different.
I look so much younger.
At least by ten years.
Old Yu, let me tell you.
For your new hairstyle, I followed your outline.
- It's personally customized for you. - Not bad.
Seriously, it looks better than the one you previously wove for me.
The previous one was too thick. Everyone thought I was in rock and roll.
That's another style but this suits you.
Enough. Stop bluffing me.
Don't I know you?
You are here for this, right?
[Application for Retirement From Team]
Hey, who are you? What are you doing?
[Shenzhen Xinyi Sports Training Center]
Uncle An. Uncle An!
Hey, An An.
You still remember my name.
Of course, I remember.
We have the word "An" in our names. We are considered to be somewhat related.
Why are you here? Do you work here?
I work at Y-Space Sports.
We recently have a collaboration with the badminton establishment. Hence, I'm here today.
Song Sanchuan doesn't seem to be with the team today. You are here for...
I'm here today because he is absent. That rotten brat made a fuss about retiring!
He created a fuss about retiring in the past, too.
He is taking it seriously this time and submitted his retirement application. How could this be okay?
I came here directly and tore it in front of the coach!
If the application is torn, he can write a new one.
Persuading him to persist won't solve the problem.
Uncle An, you know him better.
Do you think he is quitting for real this time?
About the trauma with the 18-18 score...
Hello.
I'm him. Who is this?
Security department?!
Come in.
His family member. What's wrong?
While the patient was out for tests, he
snuck around and stole the money from the patient's drawer.
Do you see this? ¥3,000 and the thief is here, too.
I already said I didn't steal the money!
Why are you raising your voice? It's not up to you whether the money was stolen or not.
We will verify with the patient once she's done with the tests.
Sit down!
Sit, sit.
He stole money?
What are you trying to do?
Just taking a look.
[Labor]
Brother, I'm his father.
I know him best. It's impossible for him to steal money.
Look at what's written on it.
- Labor. - That's right.
This is money that he earned.
- He was delivering the money to the patient. - Who are you trying to fool?
Why would I try to fool you?
Let me tell you this.
Last month, he delivered money to the Gynecology Department, too.
That female patient left me her phone number.
- If you don't believe me, I can call her to talk to you directly. - Make the call.
Can I ask you what you did with the fee earned from the marathon that day?
Eat, drink, and be merry.
Spent it in a blink of an eye.
I'm going to open the door first.
Boy of Good Fortune.
I just heard from Uncle An that the patients gave you this name.
Quite cute, isn't it?
Are you seeing me as a joke?
I do have a new understanding of you today.
You know the way, right?
Bye then. See yourself out.
Xiao An.
Thank you, Uncle An.
You are...
really concerned about Xiao Chuan, right?
Are you taking it as gossip or something else?
Actually, I approached their badminton team
to scout for a spokesperson with potential for Y-Space Sports.
I know his results are not the best in the team.
But I kept sensing that...
he would have the opportunity. What do you think?
Chuan's mother is Tong Lu.
She used to be a badminton player too,
with excellent techniques.
Later, she started dating a guy on the same team.
She became pregnant by accident and gave birth to Chuan'er.
She retired after giving birth to him.
She retired from badminton but her heart was still in it.
That's why she placed her hopes and dreams of becoming a champion
on Chuan'er.
You shouldn't have missed the shuttlecock in the competition yesterday!
The problem is your feet.
The back step, jump step and net shot, practice these for today.
Practice for a thousand times first.
I was the stringer for the rackets for the team.
I had always really liked Tong Lu.
Later, I also knew that
Tong Lu married me as she was in a helpless situation.
When did she leave?
When Chuan'er was fifteen years old.
Chuan'er had a really important match.
The score was tied at 18-18 in the final round.
Chuan'er turned around to look for his mom.
She had already left.
I estimate that it was at that moment he experienced the trauma.
She left so decisively
and never came back?
Did you see Tong Lu?
No, I didn't.
Sorry, I'm still a coward.
I didn't want the two closest people in my life to see my misery in the end.
You also know that I've never been a responsible woman.
- Tong Lu's not here? - Not here.
I gave birth when I wanted and married when I wanted.
Now, I just want to use my final days to visit the places I want to go.
An Cong, talking about regrets,
my biggest regret is when you joined the team,
I was the first to find you to string my racket. I wasted your time.
I'm leaving the house to you and Xiao Chuan.
I'm really sorry for this.
Please raise him for three years. He will become an adult at 18 years.
Don't tell him about my illness.
It will affect his training and competitions.
What if I can recover? I will come back to look for you both.
If I can't recover,
let him show filial respect to you,
as a way to compensate for me.
The first two years after she left, I told Chuan'er,
"Your mom went overseas to be a coach." Chuan'er was still young.
He was naive and believed me. He thought as long as he trained well and got good results,
he would reunite with his mom.
He trained day and night. He used all of his time and energy to practice badminton and really excelled.
So great that we thought,
did he overcome the trauma?
In reality, he didn't overcome it.
Hence, Xiao An, when it's convenient for you,
have a chat with him.
Persuade him, please.
Song Sanchuan, come down!
I'm supplying you with dumplings.
If you don't come down, I'll pack them as takeaways.
When they stick together, they won't taste good.
Song San...
[A'Wang Dumplings]
Thank you, Boss.
Enjoy.
We went to your team to select the candidate through Alex's recommendations.
She's a very famous headhunter for athletes.
She said your team has a hidden gem.
Actually, that person is you. Right?
If you told me this two years ago, I would have believed you,
but now I can't defeat anyone.
I heard from Uncle An and now understand about the incident regarding your mom.
He has a big mouth.
But what I don't understand is, why you were fine in the past.
The problem only cropped up in the past two years.
Playing badminton was never my dream.
It was Tong Lu's dream.
During the worst fight we had, I told her,
"If one day I become the Olympics champion,
Song Sanchuan's name will be on it and not yours, Tong Lu.
You will still have nothing."
She was furious.
That was the only time she hit me.
Over the years, I have always thought about the fight.
I would feel that...
her illness...
started from that day.
You knew about your mother's illness?
About two years ago,
I found a letter under her bed and the reason why she left.
An Cong never planned to tell me.
He really...
thinks everyone is stupid like him.
Who would ridiculously...
move opposite a cancer hospital?
Jin Yi came later.
I won't hide this from you. Even if I tell you, you probably wouldn't believe me.
Before he joined the team, I didn't have a score of 18-18.
No one could compete against me.
However, after a few matches with him, he knew about my problem.
You saw his tactics, too.
How can this method be used to win a match?
I don't blame him.
Now, I even lose to others besides him.
Lose more, win less.
So, I shouldn't be the hidden gem you are talking about.
Wow, I did a rhyme.
"Lose more, win less. I'm not the gem."
[A’Wang Dumplings]
- Where's the kid? - My mom brought her to stay at the hotel.
What is going on? I couldn't understand what you said on the phone.
Why is Chen Yiyang suddenly back?
He suddenly wants to take Luo Le away. He wants custody of the child.
On what grounds? He hasn't seen the child for three years.
He said they developed an online application a few years ago.
It pulled in investments and made some money.
He also said I currently don't have a stable job.
The child's starting school soon and needs a better and more stable life.
What is he doing now?
He's telling me to find a lawyer,
make an appointment and meet in court three days later.
It's best to reach an agreement. If not, we'll go through the judicial process.
Fine.
You can live at my place for now.
Three days is enough.
Okay, great. Transfer his information to me. I'll add him to WeChat.
Thanks, bye.
Dear, Nate introduced to us a renowned lawyer in this industry.
Seems like his winning rate for divorce and custody is not bad.
Really? Great.
Here.
Can I get a cup of coffee?
No problem.
The Nate that you just mentioned, is he that flirtatious guy in your company?
He invited me for a meal two days ago,
and suddenly asked me to go to Singapore with him.
What?
You won't really be emotionally affected. Right?
What's considered as emotionally affected?
Of course, it means placing this person at the top of your mind.
His WeChat message pops up on the desktop.
You haven't even read it and you are smiling from ear to ear.
When you answer his call, your voice even becomes softer.
You groom yourself like a dog three hours before going out on a date with him.
A day without seeing each other is like three years apart. It's not an exaggeration at all.
He's over thirty years old.
The ways to tempt him haven't changed?
Here, your coffee.
Please enjoy.
That's love, Sister.
No matter how old you are.
It's over then. I've never thought of placing him at the top of my mind.
Even though that kind of love is good
but it's very hard to meet one at this age.
Although I haven't been in contact with Nate for a long time,
but I am comfortable with him too.
The main point is, he suddenly proposed going to Singapore with him.
Seems like I have been placed on an accelerator.
Let's not talk about others.
Leaving home for love isn't good at all.
Look at me.
Okay, stop ah-ing. I'm getting messed up because of you.
Luo Le's biological father, Chen Yiyang,
had an affair with a colleague
while her biological mother, Luo Nian, was still breastfeeding.
This resulted in the breakdown of their relationship and separation.
In December of the same year, they divorced.
Luo Le has always been raised alone by her mother, Luo Nian.
Part one. From the day Luo Le was born till their separation,
regarding expenses for the child,
we found relevant documents and photos as evidence.
The main point is in part two.
Above are your records of transfer to her.
There's a total of ¥12,000 which we will count as alimony for the child.
Most importantly, Luo Nian as a freelancer,
sacrificed her job to raise her child alone.
What about loss in income? We have no evidence to prove this.
I estimated the cost. It's at least ¥100,000.
And Luo Nian's parents came from outside the city to support her in raising the child.
We don't have any relevant documents as evidence for accommodation and transportation, too.
Our calculation is ¥30,000.
Minus the ¥12,000 that you forked out, the remaining balance is ¥555,300.
There are detailed expense records, screenshots, and receipts in the presentation.
You can take a look at it.
Of course,
I can also give you some time to sort things out on your own.
No need to calculate further.
I understand
more than you expected.
As you didn't show up for almost three years,
to you, Luo Le is just a bit taller.
She's more beautiful, can talk, and run.
The list in this presentation is to show you how the child grew up to be who she is today.
Luo Nian dedicated her time, hard work, and companionship.
This can't be calculated by money.
Also, you can't buy it back at the same price
using your existence as a father.
Luo Le.
Mom!
First, Ms. Luo would like her ex-husband to bear fifty percent of the living expenses since the divorce.
Chen Yiyang must pay child support of ¥20,000 per month.
This is our draft of the supplemental agreement. You can go back and take a look.
[Shenzhen Xinyi Sports Training Center]
Not bad. Haven't seen each other for a few days and your eyebags are bigger than your eyes.
Is there a possibility it's a silkworm?
Your silkworm might break out of its cocoon soon.
That exaggerating?
I merely stayed up late for two nights, and I look like this.
I wasn't like this last year.
I have something to attend to and will leave first.
Can you do me a favor?
Today, if anyone asks, just say that I was with the team for the whole day. Thanks.
You are skipping work that blatantly?
I didn't sleep much for the past two days. I went to the law firm this morning.
Why did you go to a law firm? Did you cause some trouble?
I didn't cause trouble. Trouble messed with me instead.
I'm leaving.
Hold on. Let me send you. I know how to drive.
As a drowsy driver,
it's easy to harm society.
You're really capable. You don't feel dizzy from reading in the car.
I used to feel dizzy. I would throw up once I arrived but I didn't have a choice. My boss had a packed schedule.
Hence, I needed to finish my work in the car. I trained for this.
Is work more tiring than playing badminton?
Let me tell you... It's tough to win in this world.
But if you want to muddle along, it's easy.
Don't reproach me.
It's broad daylight and you're not training. You are out here as my driver instead.
Isn't that so? You don't know that
I just applied for a professional driver's license. Just treat this as my practice round.
Don't tell the team. It's not allowed.
You know and you're still doing it?
You really don't want to play anymore?
Sooner or later, athletes have a retirement date.
Liang You'an, do you have something in your heart that
you already don't want to do anymore,
but you just can't let go?
It's not that you are reluctant.
It's that you're afraid.
I used to spend my days swinging my racket, practicing steps, and doing physical rehabilitation.
When I'm asleep at night, I even replay the successes and failures in my dreams.
But if I really tell myself to stop training tomorrow,
I fear when I open my eyes on the second day, I won't know what I should do.
Frankly, I can feel that
after hearing about me, you thought I was useless. Right?
But let me tell you. Sometimes giving up...
requires more courage than persisting.
Is giving up really more courageous than persistence?
Hi, I made an appointment for a physical examination under Y-Space Sports Group.
Okay. Please wait for a moment.
We're together.
I specifically asked Ming Yu about your time
and sought his help to make the same appointment as yours. It's so hard to see you.
[The Winebar]
This Italian restaurant is pretty good.
It's perfect for us, especially since we just did our physical examinations.
It's such a coincidence. This restaurant had always been in my favorite's list.
I never had the chance to come. I didn't realize it was so close to the hospital.
Looks like I did my homework quite well. As long as you like it.
Are you avoiding me because of what I previously said to you?
Not at all.
Didn't I tell you? Recently, my work has been very busy.
Didn't we talk on the phone? It didn't interfere with our chats.
Meeting in person is still different.
Actually, I wanted to explain this to you in person today.
I don't want to scare you away with my hastiness.
These kinds of matters really can't be rushed.
Of course. We have to start from dating.
When the time is right, we can consider the next step.
But I still think it's better not to be far apart.
You can come to Singapore.
Why don't you come back to Shenzhen then?
I'm currently at a director's level in Singapore,
and you are just an executive assistant in Shenzhen.
And once you are there, if there's a suitable job,
you can consider changing jobs.
If there's no suitable job and you want to stay at home, I'm okay.
Just like in the past years when you wanted to be a career woman and develop your career,
maybe in a few years once you have a child,
you will want to be a full-time wife.
Of course, what I mean is, with my career capabilities,
I can completely allow my significant other to have more options.
Hello, I'm Liang You'an.
Hello, Ms. Liang.
You just completed a physical examination with us. Some concerns came up from the Color Ultrasonography.
The doctor hopes you can come back as soon as possible for a comprehensive discussion.
Okay. I will be there immediately.
[Color Ultrasonography]
[Gynecology 2D Ultrasound Report, Nangang Cancer Hospital]
Is your menstrual cycle usually quite irregular?
It's usually late by about a week.
Look at this part.
This is an ovarian endometrioma. We usually call it a chocolate cyst.
It will affect your ovulation.
Whenever you have a period, it will cause the ovary to grow.
This will affect your future ability to conceive children.
Are you married?
Usually at your age, if you're married, we would suggest that you get pregnant as soon as possible.
If you're pregnant and cease having your periods for a long period, it will gradually shrink.
But... if you're not married,
you can consider surgery to remove it.
Don't be too anxious. The doctor said this is a common illness.
The doctor also said,
the best way is to get pregnant, have a kid, and it'll be resolved.
This is not an ultrasound.
It's a marriage and pregnancy charm reminder.
Do you think God is prompting you?
Nate suddenly returned from Singapore.
All his qualifications are good,
and you discovered this small issue that could be resolved by conceiving a child.
Liang You'an, maybe this year, your lucky star governing marriage is finally going to fall on you.
Is that so?
I think you should still seriously consider Nate.
I just so happen to be moving house this weekend.
Why don't you call him over?
I can also conveniently thank him for introducing a lawyer.
It's agreed then.
Call Nate to come over this weekend. I will check him out for you.
Okay!
[Linglong Residence]
- Come in, quick. - It smells great!
- Shoes. - Congratulations on your housewarming.
You are so hospitable. Thank you.
Godmother.
What's wrong? What's wrong?
I'll go in first!
Okay.
What's wrong, dear?
Godmother, close your eyes.
What are you doing?
What goodies are you showing me?
Dear, can I open my eyes?
You can!
- What's wrong? - Don't blink!
The moment has come for you to witness a miracle!
Three... two ...one!
Wow! How did it transform into a small cookie?
Godmother, have the big cookie. I'll have the small cookie.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Time to eat.
- Here, here. - Wow!
Be careful.
Did you cook these?
Yes.
I heard from Liang You'an that you're a very talented dietitian.
I cook a lot of low-fat and muscle-building meals for my clients. Try it and see if it's too bland.
Okay. I typically enjoy eating more healthy foods.
- It's great! - As long as it suits your tastes.
Good timing. We want to take this opportunity to thank you for
introducing such a reliable lawyer to us.
Nian Nian's appeals were settled well.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
But speaking of Lawyer Chen, I think it's necessary to thank him.
Of course. We're also thinking of sending him a small gift.
We wanted to ask you what is more suitable.
You don't need to worry about this anymore.
I can choose. After all, I am closer to him.
If I gift it to him, it's considered friendship.
Let me know the cost later. I can't let you spend that money.
Money is a trivial matter.
But... with regards to friendship, the favor must be returned.
Isn't that right, You'an?
Are you talking about me?
The supplier conference will be held in Shanghai soon.
I happen to have a few qualified but slightly inexperienced
clients who really want to collaborate with Y-Space Sports.
I think you can emphasize and recommend them to Mr. Jie.
Or you can arrange a similar and more intimate meal like today.
I'll be the host and treat everyone and Mr. Jie to a meal.
What do you think?
Are you treating this meal as a dinner party?
No, not at all. I'm just simply making an analogy.
Of course, we are meeting privately.
I’m home. Thank you for taking me home.
Not inviting me in?
I drank too much wine. I want a glass of water.
Fine.
Take a seat. I will bring you a glass of water.
An, I really like you.
I’m sorry, I’m a bit tired. I want to rest now.
What’s the matter?
Didn't tonight go well?
I don’t know. Perhaps, I don’t feel well after drinking wine.
I want to throw up. You can leave first.
Okay.
I’m sorry. I really need to go to the bathroom.
Please shut the door on your way out. Thanks.
We opened this wine and didn't drink much.
Shall we have some?
Luo Nian, this person is not right. His physical desires need to be extinguished.
Don't even talk about marriage.
I think you are undernourished. That's why you have a cyst.
Tell me what I should do.
Yes. When you are at this age,
even your body is sending you a warning sign.
Someone suddenly popped up and proposed to you. Seems like everything's falling into place.
I should be more alert. It's dangerous and a trap.
To be honest,
when he was at the dinner table,
there was a feeling of undisguised scheming.
It was rather off-putting.
You know me.
Mixing personal relationships with work,
I can’t do it.
I really didn't realize until today, why Nate and I
only have favorable impressions of each other. It can only stay this way.
Previously, I kept thinking that finding a romantic partner at my age
is like playing on a seesaw. The pre-condition is to find someone with the same weight.
Otherwise, one will drop to the ground and remain motionless.
The other will be suspended in mid-air without any sense of security.
What about you and Nate then?
Is he considered a heavyweight?
What do you think isn't compatible?
That's right. He's been proactive since he got back this time,
but it also makes me feel like our relationship is more consuming.
We must always maintain our weights
and also, pay attention to the other person's weight from time to time.
To put it bluntly, neither of us is willing to do away with our hesitations.
The scariest thing about playing see-saw is being tricked into mid-air.
The other person suddenly leaves and lets you fall hard on the ground.
Why do you have so much sophistry?
I think you are making it overly complicated about having a relationship.
Fine. Tell me what a love relationship is.
Liking someone? Unable to control your feelings?
And then what? Being blinded by dopamine,
and following it to a dark room called "intimacy."
Click. Turn on the lights.
What's bright in front of you is the truth.
Whether it's a surprise or shock, no one can tell.
But at least, tonight, Nate's house
is plastered with receipts.
Unbearable, it's boring.
That is boring.
But I don't agree with your theory on the seesaw.
You just haven't met the right person.
Once you meet the right person,
you won't want to play a game like seesaw where you can't even hold hands.
You'll want to play sumo wrestling.
The kind where there's skin contact for 24 hours a day. That kind of scuttling.
You are making me sound like I'm excited, right?
Okay, I've decided.
I'll wrap up work in two months, take annual leave, and get the surgery done.
If something really goes wrong,
I'll leave my inheritance to Luo Le.
It's not too much to let her take care of me and send me off to my death bed, right?
She'll do it even if there's no inheritance.
What am I afraid of then?
Cheers to sumo wrestling.
My neck still feels uncomfortable.
You guys kissed?
- What are you saying? - Let me see!
- I retaliated and said "no," okay? - But was there contact?
How did you find my house?
I asked the coach for your address.
Why did you apply for retirement?!
Who are you yelling at?
My retirement request hasn't been approved yet.
It's better to leave on my own than to be fired after my contract ends.
I disliked playing badminton when I was young.
It's my mom who insisted on dragging me to the court every weekend.
Until one day when I saw you playing at a competition,
that's when I finally realized the meaning of gaps and ceilings.
When you were on the court, the fluidity of movement, rhythm of the game, and even control
were impeccable. It's true.
From then on, I stopped whining that the training was tough.
That's good. You're already better than me in this aspect.
Brother Chuan,
I can understand your reason for applying for retirement
but can you not leave so hopelessly?
At least, stand up with confidence.
What do you think is in that box?
Morning, You'an.
Morning. Morning.
Nate personally brought this and placed it on your desk early this morning.
I was wondering why he asked me about your physical examination that day.
And even asked me to schedule it together. Something's going on between you two.
Open it now. Are they flowers?
Do you like it?
That night at your house,
I saw that you had this brand of essential oil diffuser.
Let's talk.
I don't understand the meaning of your gift today.
I simply thought you would like it and wanted to give it to you as a gift.
If that's the case,
why didn't you send it to my house or give it to me privately?
Carrying such a big box to the office must have been strenuous.
Okay, I admit.
I definitely wanted others to be aware of our relationship.
Hey, wait a minute.
Do you drink coffee?
Hey. Why are you suddenly so humane?
I'll drink if you're paying.
Okay. Go up first.
