(30 Years Ago)
Wait a moment.
Will you marry me?
Back then,
this place wasn't this beautiful.
You guys only planted
herbs and grasses.
Do you remember I brought you a bouquet of flowers?
(You stared at it like a fool.)
(I told you to take a sniff.)
(And you despised it.)
I did it on purpose.
(The arrival of Minor Snow)
(means that the weather will turn colder and colder.)
(As the weather turns cold, the amount of rain will increase.)
(Minor Snow is just a metaphor.)
(It means that there will only be a minor amount of snow.)
(Minor Snow)
(Jiangzhou People's Hospital)
What are you doing? It's late now.
-Come here. -Why did you come here suddenly?
Sit down.
Look.
It's something warm.
What do you mean by this?
You see, as a girl,
you must maintain your cleanliness.
No matter how busy you are, you need to wash your feet.
Are you complaining that my feet stink?
I dare not do so.
I love them to death.
Since you're not coming to me,
I'll go to you then.
How's the temperature?
Why are you still carrying your shoes?
You're a neat lady, huh?
Will you be this long-winded in the future?
Tou Tou,
when I celebrated your birthday for you,
I still had something I didn't tell you.
You're not alone.
Your family, your loved ones,
I'll make it up to you eventually.
I brought you some fresh clothes.
Remember to get changed
in Xing Xing's room later.
I'll collect the dirty laundry tomorrow.
You just want to complain about me.
Tou Tou,
as a girl,
you should be more meticulous
and particular.
What if our daughter takes after you
in the future?
You can raise her yourself then.
Okay.
But are you sure you don't want to head home?
There are nurses on duty here.
You can sleep better at home.
This way, you'll have more energy on the next day.
I have to stand guard over here.
I won't go back unless Master tells me to.
Your master can't just let you
stand guard over here all day long.
You need to eat and sleep somehow.
Will you obey your master or your husband?
Why are you saying that again?
What if the students of the apprentice class take turns to stay here?
No. I don't trust other people.
Do you trust me then? I'll take your shift.
I don't.
You're close to Zhao Li Quan.
You'll go easy on him if he says he wants to go inside.
In the end,
you still don't trust Li Quan.
I won't trust him
until the truth is out.
But don't worry.
I've already told Roubecca.
She'll take my shift every three days.
You would rather trust Roubecca than me?
It's because Roubecca is a trustworthy person.
It's either she doesn't agree to it,
or she does a good job after agreeing to it.
If she stands guard over here,
not even a fly can get inside.
Fine.
First, you were jealous of your father.
Now, you're jealous of Roubecca.
Were you born
out of jealousy?
You're ignoring me now?
Take this!
You want to play, huh?
Take this!
(Jiangzhou People's Hospital)
Listen.
I could tell that you didn't focus during the technique class.
You couldn't find my acupressure point.
Higher.
-Here? -Higher.
That's the spot.
Tou Tou, I have something important to ask you.
What is it?
What's with you and Liu Zi Hong?
So, you found out about us?
I...
(15 Days Ago)
Tou Tou.
I like you.
I don't.
Hey, I'm serious. I like you.
I'm serious too. I don't.
Liu Zi Hong, listen.
Your public persona will crumble
before you get famous.
Wait.
It's not like I'm everyone's dream boyfriend.
Give me the cloth.
Wait.
It's not like I'm going to be everyone's dream boyfriend.
If I do get into a relationship,
I won't hide it from them.
My fans
are just audience.
It's not like they're God.
I'm making the decision myself.
I'll bear the consequences.
Seems like you've grown up.
So,
-is that a yes? -What are you saying?
Listen.
I just see you as my little brother.
Actually, I don't see you as my brother.
We aren't even close.
Stop saying nonsense like that.
I don't care. I like you.
I like you. I...
Liu Zi Hong, have you lost your mind?
I'll go out and tell everyone
that you're my girlfriend.
How could you be so shameless?
-I'm shameless. -Give it to me.
Nope.
Are you a fool?
What's inside your brain?
Is it made of wood?
If there was nothing between you two,
why did he keep looking for you?
And, you even wanted everyone to vote for him.
Hey.
I can't just tie him up
and tell him to stop looking for me.
But I already told him.
I clarified everything.
He won't look for me again.
What did you tell him?
I said you're the only one in my heart.
I have no space for anyone else.
But you're a rough lady.
Did he know that you didn't wash your feet for three days?
Does he still like you after hearing that?
I...
What have my stinky feet got to do
with him liking me or not?
He didn't wash his feet for a week.
How did you know?
I took a sniff.
That's my fetish.
Sun Tou Tou, you're done for.
No, wait!
Take a sniff. Here.
Feel it.
What are you doing?
Come on, here you go.
Smell your stinky sock.
It doesn't stink!
How is it, Tou Tou? Is Professor Wu doing well?
Everything's normal. All signs
indicate that it's developing in the right direction.
So you guys don't need to worry too much.
-Madam Wu. -Hello, Madam Wu.
Madam, Senior Madam.
Hi.
Tou Tou.
Is Shan Dao awake?
How is it?
He's not awake yet.
Did Mr Wu even wake up today?
He's still very weak.
He needs a lot of sleep.
Don't worry.
Tou Tou, according to you,
are you saying that you're the only one who saw Mr Wu
waking up?
Are you lying to us?
That's not it.
Tou Tou has been standing guard over here.
There's no reason for her to lie to us.
Maybe she's just trying to talk herself up.
That's not true.
Yesterday, Xin Zheng said
Shan Dao was fine.
He'll recover very soon.
Yeah. It's like this for patients who just recovered.
-I met patients like him before. -Yeah.
Mr Wu has been seriously injured.
He needs to rest and recuperate.
I checked his eyelid's muscle response.
However, there are no other instances of him regaining consciousness.
Tou Tou said
Professor Wu could talk.
Enough.
Let's stop arguing.
What about this? Let's adopt a shift system starting tonight.
It's too tiring for Tou Tou to take care of him alone.
She'll develop hallucinations easily.
I'll take care of him tonight.
I don't agree with that.
Tou Tou, your senior uncle is awake.
He's awake?
-Let's hurry! -Don't come inside!
This is the ICU!
Let us take a look!
-We're his students. -I understand your feelings.
I understand your feelings.
Only his family members can come inside.
The rest of you, stay outside.
We're his family members.
Shan Dao?
Wu Shan Dao?
Look.
He has already regained consciousness.
Wu Shan Dao,
do you know who am I?
You...
You are my friend.
Yes. Not only am I your friend,
but I'm also your attending physician.
How do you feel?
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Come, shake my hand.
Seems like there's a long way to go before he fully recovers.
I think we can transfer him to a normal ward now.
The physiotherapists can help him out after some time.
Thank you.
-This is great. -Thank you.
Thank you, Mr Li.
Don't be too excited.
Let him rest well.
Tou Tou?
He's awake.
He's awake, huh?
It must've been tough on you.
Okay now.
Don't cry. He's awake.
Everything's fine now.
It must've been tough on you.
Alright now.
Poor little girl.
It's Mr Li.
Hurry.
-You're here too? -Mr Li.
Your name is Tou Tou, right?
-Yes. -She's a filial girl.
Your senior uncle
is awake. Your effort wasn't in vain.
He hasn't regained his consciousness completely.
He can't recognise everyone.
However, this is already a great start.
Don't cry.
Congratulations.
-Thank you. -Ren.
It's no wonder people say that you're a demigod.
If I must say, you're a god.
You can always
save a person's life no matter how dire the situation is
as long as you will it, huh?
Tou Tou, did you get that?
Mr Li is teasing me.
Mr Li,
he has been in that state for a long time.
It's all thanks to the care of the Western doctors.
We dare not claim credit for it.
I'm just stating facts.
Both Western and Chinese medicine are working in tandem here.
We Western doctors can't really do anything
after performing surgeries.
It's all thanks to your great student.
Faith will move mountains indeed.
It's no wonder you think so highly of her.
Thank you, Dr Li.
May I bring Master inside now?
-Sure. -Let's go.
But wait a moment.
I already instructed the nurse
to transfer Mr Wu to the special care unit.
The conditions over there
are better than the ICU.
You guys can visit him there.
Okay.
Thank you.
(Jiangzhou People's Hospital)
Wu.
Shan Dao.
Wu!
Shan Dao!
Wake up.
Open your eyes and take a look!
Look at all the people who are here to visit you.
Over here.
This is Mum.
Shan Dao.
Ren.
Xin Zheng is here to see you too.
Look.
And this girl.
This is Sun Tou Tou.
She's been taking care of you all the time.
She's a great girl.
Li Quan, come here.
Shan Dao, this is your student, Li Quan.
Look at him.
Mr Wu.
You recognised him, right?
Calm down.
Li Quan is a good boy too.
He visited you every day.
Alright.
Calm down.
(Jiangzhou People's Hospital)
Hello?
(Hello.)
I'm Tou Tou's boyfriend.
I'm looking for Tou Tou.
Tou Tou's boyfriend?
Yes. It's like this.
I brought her some things.
And, I'm not allowed to deliver them upstairs.
Tell her to come down and take them.
(Okay.)
-Thank you. -(You're welcome.)
Tou Tou's boyfriend is truly nice to her.
Yeah.
I said she must've saved the world
in her past life.
She said her boyfriend was plain
and ordinary.
Tell her then.
I'll heat our food.
Okay.
Tou Tou,
your "ordinary" boyfriend is waiting for you downstairs.
Wait.
I thought he just left? Why has he returned?
Go now. He must've brought
something good for you.
Alright, I got it.
-Thank you. -Don't mention it.
"Ordinary", huh?
-Nurse. -Coming.
That Mr Wang.
What's the matter?
He wants to come back here.
He had been hospitalised for some time.
Goodness.
I guess he's already used to it.
Alright, you may go inside.
Wait. Please make way.
Tou Tou.
Hello, Tian Zhen. Did you come to the hospital?
You didn't?
Alright, I got it.
Get up!
What are you doing?
I did nothing.
Go away.
I'm wiping the sweat off my teacher's face.
Stop lying!
Zhao Li Quan,
I can do all of these myself. Stay out of this.
Leave immediately.
Can you even do it?
Where were you just now?
Didn't you see that my teacher was sweating profusely?
You can do all of these?
I thought you were supposed to stand guard over him?
So, it was you, huh?
What are you saying?
Tou Tou, what are you saying? I have no idea what you're talking about.
As for what you were up to,
the truth will be revealed
when I retrieve the surveillance footage.
Now,
leave the room immediately.
You can go ahead.
Even so, you can only find footage of you fooling around
with those nurses out there.
Go ahead.
Tou Tou, what's the matter?
The alarm by the nurse's station was rung just now.
Did something happen?
Everything's normal.
I heard from Li Quan
that Professor Wu's condition should be taking a turn for the better.
This is great.
-Wait. -Tou Tou.
Tou Tou.
How's Mr Wu doing today? Can he recognise people now?
He can speak now, right?
I heard that they were injecting
the medicine into his stomach.
What prescription did Mr Ren give him?
Cerebral haemorrhage is just like a flood.
It'll flood and blur the boundaries between the human brain.
Many people will either experience amnesia
or be incoherent after they wake up.
So, how exactly is Mr Wu doing right now?
Wait, did you guys agree to come together?
What's with all the people here?
And, it's not like you guys don't know this.
The special care unit can only accommodate a few visitors at a time.
Li Quan told us to come here.
He said he visited him yesterday
and that Professor Wu was doing much better.
That's why we came here to visit him.
-Yeah. -Li Quan told us to come.
It's like this. It's too crowded here.
I suggest you guys head back first.
We can arrange for visits by day.
You guys can come by then.
Go now. Stop messing around.
Tou Tou.
Tou Tou, how is it?
What's going on?
What's with all these people here?
We're here to visit Professor Wu.
Thank you.
I'll thank you guys on Professor Wu's behalf.
Tou Tou,
they'll just visit him for a minute.
It should be fine, right?
Why did you call everyone here?
Why did I call them here?
Mr Wu is awake.
As his students,
shouldn't we visit him?
You guys should.
Everyone can visit him
except for you.
Mind your manners.
Your senior aunt is still here.
You don't get to make the call here.
What's the matter?
Is there a misunderstanding between you two?
Ms Shen,
I'm not allowing him to enter
for Senior Uncle's sake.
You trust me, right?
What do you mean?
Senior Aunt,
you had no idea.
Tou Tou couldn't bear the sight of me.
This...
Everyone knows this.
Tou Tou is the leader of the pack.
I've pleaded with her several times
so that I could take her shift and take care of Mr Wu.
She didn't agree to it. It was as if I was out to steal her credit.
-How could that be? -But you should know
that I'm not that kind of person.
Tou Tou can claim all the credit she wants.
Zhao Li Quan.
Master told me to stand guard over the door.
That means I have to do it.
I don't care what you say.
I won't allow you to enter.
Tou Tou, everyone wants to visit Mr Wu.
What about this? We can line up and enter the room one by one,
okay?
-Yeah. -We can line up.
Sure.
You guys can enter the room one by one.
But please be silent.
And, Ms Shen
and Peng Shi Yan will enter the room first.
Once Ms Shen and Peng Shi Yan are out,
the others can take turns to go inside, okay?
Okay.
-Let's go. -Senior Aunt.
You should let Li Quan visit him too.
You see...
He's anxious.
He picked me up early in the morning.
-Senior Aunt, that's enough. -He told me a lot.
Li Quan is in no hurry.
He already came here last night.
We were lucky that Senior Uncle was still alive.
What do you mean by that?
I'm sure you know that the best.
Tou Tou, you're being offensive here.
What do you mean by we're lucky that he's still alive?
What exactly is going on?
Tou Tou, didn't I say already?
You can claim all the credit you want.
I won't steal them from you.
Just let me visit him, okay?
I'll bear the consequences if anything happens.
Does this count as surrendering to you?
Can I enter the ward now?
Zhao Li Quan,
can you stop pretending to be pitiful
and make it as if I'm bullying you?
Fine.
You want to go inside?
Before that, explain yourself
to Ms Shen
and the others.
Why did you sneak into
his ward last night?
Why did the alarm ring
when you approached Senior Uncle?
Fine. I'll explain myself.
Everyone, listen.
I came here last night
just to take a look at Mr Wu.
Just one look.
But Tou Tou didn't allow me to.
Tou Tou, you keep going against me.
You think I have no idea what you're up to?
You're just afraid that I'll expose you, right?
But Sun Tou Tou, listen up.
I'm not a scum like that.
Even if I do know your secret,
I won't expose you.
What secret do I have?
What secret is there for you to expose?
Zhao Li Quan,
I'm an honest and upright person.
There's nothing for me to be afraid of.
Today, I represent Master and the acupuncture sect.
I have to defend this door at all costs.
But you?
Although I don't know what you're up to,
I know Senior Uncle's accident is related to you somehow.
But I'm in no hurry.
You shouldn't be impatient too.
Once Senior Uncle wakes up,
everything
will come to light.
Let's go.
Who do you think you are?
You represent Mr Ren and the acupuncture sect?
Stop pretending to be the successor.
I didn't expose you on account of Mr Ren.
I want to retain my mentor's dignity.
You don't understand?
You're a fake.
You're an impostor.
Where are your parents?
You have no idea.
You're not the true successor
of the Jiang family's acupuncture sect.
You're just a wild girl.
You're a wild child!
Zhao Li Quan!
What did you say just now?
What did I say?
You're unfit to stay here.
You're a crook.
You forged all of these.
My grandmother, Granny Zeng,
is the founder of the Jiang family's acupuncture sect.
My mother died in an effort to support the flood relief movement.
I'm the successor of the sect.
That's what Master told me.
Zhao Li Quan, where did you get all of these documents?
Successor of the sect?
Listen.
Mr Wu gave them to me personally.
Mr Wu even told me
about your true identity as an impostor.
Tian Zhen.
Maybe your father was an accomplice too.
Now, you guys know why Tou Tou doesn't want
to let me visit Mr Wu.
She's afraid that Mr Wu
might expose her
once he recovers.
I'll kill you!
Tou Tou!
I'll kill you!
Listen!
I saw you when you snuck into
the ward last night!
He made all of these false documents
because I caught him red-handed!
All of these are false! None of them is true!
If any of my words are false,
may thunder strike me!
I'm not lying!
Tou Tou.
You're an impostor.
You're a wild child.
You're unfit to stand here.
She's fit!
Enough.
Stop crying.
Sun Tou Tou isn't
the successor of the Jiang family's acupuncture sect.
However, no one here
is worthy enough to stand here except for her.
It's because she's my daughter.
Say that again?
She's my daughter.
Mr Ren,
I suggest you think twice
before saying anything!
Say, do you think
something will happen to Lan?
No one expected this to happen.
How could that be true?
How could Tou Tou be
Ren's illegitimate daughter?
Ren isn't that kind of person.
However, if it's true,
since she's younger than Tian Zhen,
that means he had her after marrying Lan.
That's impossible.
What should we do now?
If Shan Dao wasn't unconscious,
he could've explained the situation and resolved any tension.
But look at him now.
Should I tell Master and Madam about it?
You mustn't be a busybody.
That's not it.
This is a huge deal.
If it's true,
there's no way to hide it.
It'll be revealed eventually.
The person telling them is important too.
I've been friends with Lan for many years.
I know her well.
She'll never tell her parents about this.
However, if this is true,
their family might be affected.
Judging from Lan's personality,
she'll only tell her parents
after everything is done.
If that's the case,
everything will be too late.
It'll be a foregone conclusion by then.
Shen Xin,
we haven't settled our family affair yet.
Now, you want to poke into other people's business?
Shan Dao is lying unconscious.
I feel terrible.
However, there's still hope for his recovery.
I'm just thinking
about what I would do
if I encountered the same thing as Lan.
It's heartbreaking.
I don't know what I'll do.
There are always ordeals to overcome.
We have to overcome them one by one.
Mum,
I think we should help them
when we can.
Mr Song is a wise man.
This is a crucial moment.
We need him to take a hold of the situation.
I think I should tell him about it.
If so, please look after him.
Alright. Go now.
Call me if anything happens.
Shan Dao, if only you were awake.
You could've resolved everything.
A good lady must obey.
Do you know how old we are?
How could you bear to leave us standing here
when the breeze is chilling?
Follow us home.
Come.
Look.
She doesn't listen to me.
Persuade her.
I won't. I'm a woman too.
I understand a woman's heart.
Once it's broken, it can never be repaired.
Stop causing trouble.
Don't you think it's troublesome enough already?
Say something nice. Don't say something disheartening.
By the way,
Winter Solstice is nearing.
We haven't brewed
the Winter Solstice health soup yet.
Look at the situation we're in.
You're still talking about soup?
In life,
there are many ordeals we have to overcome,
and we have to overcome them one by one.
This has nothing to do with one's mood.
Let's take Sima Qian as an example.
Even if he was tortured,
he still had to celebrate the Qingming Festival,
the Chongyang Festival, and Winter Solstice too.
If not, there would be no Shi Ji.
It doesn't matter if we skip a bowl of soup.
If so, it doesn't matter if we have an extra child.
I just want to lighten up the mood.
Go back.
Go and prepare the prescriptions with Xin Zheng.
I'll keep our daughter company.
A good lady must obey, okay?
Master.
You still need to do the things you're supposed to.
Do you know what day it is?
Have you started brewing the Winter Solstice Soup?
I'll brew it right now.
Master, I...
I trust you.
I never doubted you
when I handed over my position
and my daughter to you.
It'll be the same in the future.
That is all.
Thank you, Master.
Mum, you should head back too.
No, I won't.
Look at the state you're in.
How could I go back?
Mum.
I...
I just don't understand him.
Why is he doing this to me?
Actually,
I'm not angry at all.
I just feel
disappointed.
Do you know this? When I...
When I looked at him,
(he avoided my eyes.)
(At that time, I felt...)
I suddenly felt like
we were strangers.
