(Fireworks of My Heart)
(Adapted from the novel "A City, Waiting for You" by Jiuyuexi)
(Episode 3)
(Door is open.)
(Please come in.)
You go first. I'll go after you.
Mum.
We're back.
How did you two end up coming home together?
We ran into each other at the entrance.
Where is Dad?
He's gone to Xiao Xiao's place.
I reckon he'll stay there for dinner.
I broke a sweat in the car just now.
I need to get changed.
I'm going upstairs as well.
Hurry up.
Mum.
Where is my wood carving?
I told the cleaner to get rid of it.
Why?
I have told you before
that I don't like it when you mess around with those things.
I can't stand it when the floor is covered in wood shavings.
I'm sure you can find a better hobby.
-Mum, Qin Qin -I don't like
that you're a doctor either.
Not only it's an underappreciated job that requires a lot of effort,
you're often required to work overtime too.
What will happen when you have a family?
Who's going to take care of your family?
Mum.
Aunt.
Xiao Xiao, you're here.
I'm here to get free dinner.
No problem. Go ahead and have a nice chat.
What's wrong?
Did anyone get scolding again?
It's break time. Let's grab some food.
Sure.
Jiang!
Captain.
Who's in charge of disposing the rubbish today?
Da Peng is on duty today.
I saw him go downstairs to take out the trash.
Did anything go missing? Is it something important?
I'll help you look for it.
I'm just asking.
Alright, it's fine.
You may leave now.
If you decide to change your cook,
make sure you inform me beforehand. I'll hire him for sure.
My mum is here.
You gave me a shock.
Aren't you the one who's most afraid of her?
I recently opened a new bar.
Come to my place tomorrow. You guys need to chill and relax.
Mum.
Not again!
Don't even think that you can scare me again.
It's undeniable that my aunt is a troublemaker,
but she's adorable anyway. Am I right?
I was telling them that I've missed you as I haven't seen you for days.
Here.
You guys are not observant at all.
Take a seat.
Yan Chen,
you should learn from Xiao Xiao
and get yourself a partner soon.
You grew up together.
You should become a good influence on him.
What if he takes my advice
but ends up becoming a couple with someone you dislike?
Of course, if she's not good, then she's not acceptable.
If that's the case, you need to define what's good and what's not.
First and foremost,
never marry someone who's unequal in social status.
That's a big no.
Here.
This is for you.
And this
Why did they receive presents from you?
Where's mine?
You don't need it.
Those are
a few ladies that I chose for you.
And those are a few guys that I chose for you.
Take a look
and let me know
if you set your eyes on any of them.
Don't forget to let me know.
Okay?
Got it.
Let's eat.
I don't want to bring this up
but you two should come home more often.
It's a big house, yet it's so quiet.
Am I right?
Moreover,
you work at the hospital for long hours.
That must have taken a toll on you.
Come to my bar when you're free.
I'll get you a bottle of good wine.
And you.
You should come along.
Apparently, your mum is trying to get you a partner.
Come to my bar. You can find pretty ladies there.
-I can hook you up with them. -Xiao Xiao.
Keep quiet
when you're eating.
What are you looking for?
A lighter.
You mean, the present she got you?
You carried it everywhere for the past ten years.
Since you care about her so much,
why did you break up with her in the first place?
There's a huge gap
between our families.
Her parents put great emphasis on social status and family background.
They think that I'm not well-matched with their daughter.
I think I understand that.
You've been really harsh on yourself all these years.
You always want to be the first in everything.
You care so much about the honour and mission on your shoulders.
I bet she's part of the reason.
I want to bring us closer together.
I have fantasized before
that one day soon,
if I meet her again,
I wish I could
stand proudly in front of her.
I'm alright.
For the past ten years,
I have been keeping it with me.
Don't you think it's weird?
She's here
but I misplaced the item.
For some reasons,
I feel empty inside.
I don't know what exactly happened between you two
but I can tell
that you're badly hurt
in that relationship.
You've met her anyway.
Since you don't want to bring up the past again,
you should let go of the past.
If something is lost, there's no need to search for it again.
If you missed out on someone,
there's no need to go back.
Don't live in the past.
Perhaps that's a sign from God
for you let go of the past
and start a new life.
I need some advice.
All of them look good.
Don't you think
all of them look alike?
All their facial features appear to have been meticulously refined.
They're no match for you.
Jiang Yu?
He's a decent guy.
He's reliable.
In comparison to Song
He's way better.
What's wrong?
Am I not allowed to share my view?
I'm merely speaking the truth.
You are not compatible with him.
Your relationship won't work out.
We always look at the past
through rose-tinted glasses.
In fact, you're not in love with him.
You merely have regrets about the past.
It's human nature
that what we can't get is always the best.
It's getting late. Where are you going?
I'm going to bar.
Welcome to the bar, pretty doctor.
The bar owner is here to receive you personally.
You'd better save the effort to coax your girlfriend instead.
-You're my one and only girlfriend. -Get off.
It hurts.
She's rude. You should educate her.
Stop talking nonsense.
Show us around.
Sure. Mr Meng, this way please.
Come on.
What do you think? Is the bar okay?
Boss.
Bring me three glasses of Yamazaki 25.
-Sure. -Take a seat.
Here, Qin.
Take a seat.
I bought two floors in total.
The upper floor is always crowded.
This floor, on the other hand, is slightly quieter.
The view is not bad, right?
It's not bad, indeed.
I didn't expect that you actually have good taste.
I learned from you.
Qin, you can come here whenever you're free.
What's wrong with you?
Are you newbie?
Haven't you received any training before?
Boss, she's newly hired. I'm truly sorry for the accident.
Apologize to them. Hurry.
I'm sorry.
It's alright.
She's just a part-timer. I'll definitely knock some sense into her head later.
Thorough training and proper guidance
is very important, especially to the part-timers.
You're not doing a good job. Are you aware of that?
I'm sorry. I'll be more alert moving forward.
The fire department will come for an inspection later.
Please handle the reception.
Be polite to them.
Sure. I'm getting back to work.
You're pretty strict at work.
Is that just a show in front of us?
I am serious and dedicated when it comes to my work, alright?
I need to make a call.
It's not easy to hire workers these days.
I'm sorry.
Do you think she looks like Qin?
Does she?
I think they look alike.
Do you conduct regular inspections of fire safety facilities here?
We do.
If there are any issues, remember to replace them promptly.
Sure. Don't worry.
We'll definitely strictly adhere to the regulations.
Hello. Are you from the fire department?
Yes.
Fire inspections are typically conducted by firefighters, aren't they?
Fire inspections are under the jurisdiction of the fire brigade.
Firefighters belong to Fire and Rescue Station.
They are not in charge of inspections.
Show us the way to the emergency exit.
Sure. This way please.
What are you thinking?
Two days ago,
I ran into Song Yan.
What does he do for a living?
Wait. Let me take a guess.
Don't tell me he's self-employed, just like me.
He's a firefighter.
Then what?
I bet you chatted and reminisced the old times together.
How did the conversation go?
He didn't really want to talk to me.
So you feel a sense of regret?
So what if I regret?
There's nothing I can do.
Life is full of regrets.
Even if people try their best and strive with all their might,
as if they've lost their mind,
in the end,
no one can escape from difficulties.
So many years have passed.
I can't believe that you're still smitten with him.
I thought I was no longer in love with him.
Things got out of hand once you reunited with him.
It seems that your feelings for him flared up again.
It shows that you have never forgotten about him.
Qin,
the most tormenting thing in this world
is to refuse to move on,
thinking that you can go back.
I have heard about the story between the two of you.
I don't mean to be rude
but if it's impossible in the past,
it's even more
impossible in the future.
Cheer up. Don't think too much.
Let's go.
Let's grab some drinks.
Go ahead.
I need to wash my hands.
No peeping.
Qin, where are you going?
Something came up at the hospital. I need to go now.
Are you serious?
Not only did Qin leave early,
she also lied.
What's wrong?
Do you know what Qin told me just now?
Life is full of regrets.
Even if people try their best and strive with all their might,
no one can escape from difficulties.
No one in their right mind would say that.
Life is short.
Being able to enjoy pleasures is already a great blessing.
Giving up what you already have
to pursue something elusive and intangible
is definitely not wise.
-Hello. -Hello.
May I know if Song Yan works here?
May I know who are you?
I am
I'm his former classmate.
Can you help me get in touch with him?
-Please wait a moment. -Thank you.
Hello, is this Captain Song?
Someone is looking for you.
She claimed that she's your former classmate.
May I know your name?
Xu Qin.
Her name is Xu Qin.
Sure.
I'm sorry. Captain Song is not in today.
Where did he go?
Chances are
He's gone outside for training.
Thank you.
-Li Cheng. -Yes, Staff Officer Li?
I have a meeting with the detachment captain in a little while.
Pass the dog food to Captain Song, alright?
-Sure. -Thanks for your help.
Don't mention it.
Alright. You may get back to work.
Take care.
Just go ahead and meet her if you want.
Meng.
Good boy.
You bond well with Meng.
Don't state the obvious.
I raised it.
Dogs are loyal.
Like owner, like dog.
Why do I feel like you're implying something?
I'm implying that you're loyal.
Get lost.
(Visitors must register, and please come forward to show your ID)
Are you sure you don't want to see her?
Why should I see her?
She's not someone important.
-I'll feed you with some yummy food. -Yummy.
Finally you're back from work, Yan.
Yan!
When will you take us for a ride on fire truck?
We want a ride on fire truck!
I'll take you for a ride when you're slightly older.
-Okay? -No way!
We're grown-ups now.
Hurry up. Come here.
Stop disturbing Mr Song.
Hurry.
-Hello, Mr Zhao. -You're back from work.
-Grandpa. -Leave Mr Song alone.
-Let's play chess together. -This is for you.
-Don't forget to thank Mr Song. -Thank you, Yan.
Thank you, Yan.
Yan is unbeatable!
-Mr Zhao. -What?
Well
-You're losing. -Exactly. That's why I need your help.
-Yan, keep your words! -Sure!
Aunt, I'm back.
You're finally home!
I bet you haven't eaten.
Can I have some beef noodles?
Sure. Come here.
Why are you carrying so many things?
-I bought some fruits. -Hurry.
It's done.
Here.
Have some pickled vegetables.
It's flavourful.
Here you go.
Is it delicious?
I've missed the taste so badly.
Xu Qin
came here looking for you.
It seems that you've met her.
Are you still in love with her?
I couldn't hate her enough.
Hatred doesn't arise without love.
I swear I hate her to the core.
I feel annoyed just by seeing her.
You swear?
Finally I can stop worrying.
Hear me out.
A wise man does not dwell on the past.
Don't forget how much hardship you went through because of her.
I'm still angry thinking about it now.
She's too much.
How could she have gone so far?
She even had the cheek to look for you.
How brazen.
Aunt, can I have some garlic?
Is the pickled vegetables lacking in flavour? Why are you asking for garlic?
My uncle used to tell me that eating noodles without garlic
is like missing out on half of the taste.
Alright. I'll get you some garlic right away.
Relax.
Calm down.
Here, have some fruits.
They're good for health.
Thank you, Aunt.
Don't mention it.
She looks so beautiful.
Make sure you take good care of her. Eat more fruits.
Don't be shy. Eat more.
She's truly beautiful.
Is it sweet?
Don't stop eating.
My uncle and aunt are really nice.
They won't skin you alive.
Are you following me to the washroom?
Let me show you something.
There you go!
One more!
Song Yan, I love spending time at your place!
Don't just say that for fun.
I dare you to join our family legally.
I, Song Yan, promise
that I'll care about none others than you for the rest of my life.
At this stage, you should focus on none other than your studies!
Qin has enrolled into a great university
and you're still re-attending classes.
Be careful. She may ditch you soon.
Will you ditch me soon?
Will you ditch me soon?
Will you really ditch me soon?
-Will you really ditch me soon? -She'll ditch you for sure.
-Your uncle and aunt are really nice. -Right?
Your small courtyard at home is also very beautiful.
If only I had a beautiful courtyard like yours at home.
I would definitely stay at home every day and not go out.
Eat it now, or it'll melt in no time.
I don't like eating popsicle.
It's not hygienic at all.
Eating unhygienic food doesn't necessarily mean you'll get sick.
Take it.
How did your car end up there?
We need to leave now.
Song Yan.
Don't come looking for me again in the future.
I used to play with you because I found it exciting.
I've thought it through.
We were never meant to be together in the first place.
We won't have any intersections in the future either.
If you continue fooling around,
you won't succeed in life in the future.
Xu Qin,
is your family against our relationship?
No one is against it.
I don't want to lie to you anymore.
Once the novelty wears off,
it becomes boring.
Tell me the truth.
Did your parents force you to say this?
No one forced me.
Your place is run-down and dilapidated.
I don't like your place at all.
Stop contacting me.
Xu Qin!
Xu Qin!
Stop! Xu Qin!
(I want to talk to you. I'll be waiting for you in the woods.)
Deputy Dean Liu.
Xu Qin, are you off work?
How are you adapting to the hospital lately?
I'm doing pretty well.
Great. If you need any help,
come to me directly. I'll sort it out for you.
Don't worry. Everything is going well.
That's great.
I ran into your mother two days ago.
Please send her my regards.
-Sure. -Great.
Since you're off work
-Xu -Dr Xu.
He walks around with a long face every day, as if someone owes him money.
He's terrible.
Deputy Dean Liu, I'm taking my leave.
-Sure. Take care. -Sure.
(A red alert for heavy rain has been issued.)
(From tonight until early tomorrow morning, )
(there will be extremely heavy rainfall throughout the city.)
(Citizens are advised to prioritize safety when travelling.)
(Production units are advised to take precautionary measures in advance)
(to prevent any loss of property or assets.)
Ge, come down!
It's pouring.
Today's training concludes here.
Tong Ming, keep the ladder away!
Check the flood control equipment.
Thoroughly inspect all the equipment.
We can start loading the vehicles once the clean-up is almost finished.
Sure.
Bring the kayak over here for inspections.
Instructor, rainy weather can help reduce the risk of fire, right?
Why are you so nervous?
Sometimes, rain
can be more troublesome than a fire situation.
Hurry up and go change your clothes. Don't catch a cold.
-Sure. -Noted.
Hello?
I have a feeling that your day off might be
(Got it.)
(I have already returned to the team.)
I didn't see this coming.
Your holiday is over just as it has started.
The night has just begun.
Hello, Dr Xu.
There are many emergency cases due to the heavy rain disaster.
Dr Xu said that all staff members should report to duty.
Alright. Got it.
(119)
Hello, is this 119?
(Hello, this is 119. Please speak.)
My car has been flooded.
I'm unable to open the door.
There is no window breaker in the car.
I can't get out.
(Don't panic.)
(Could you please provide your exact location?)
I'm at the Songmen Bridge underpass.
(Noted. We have firefighters near your location.)
(Notification has been sent to them.)
(Please keep your phone line open.)
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
I'm here!
I'm here!
Help!
I'm here!
Help!
I'm here!
Captain Song, the water here is too deep.
Slow down!
Captain Song, I'll go to the back and help lift the car.
Come out!
Let go of me.
Believe it or not, I'll throw you into the water.
Bring me the clothes!
Do you know how many accidents occur
within a five-kilometre radius in the past one hour?
The Red Rainstorm Signal has been declared.
Why didn't you stay at home?
What on earth are you doing here?
The hospital has called us back on urgent basis.
Captain Song.
Find a place to take shelter from the rain!
Did you try so hard because you knew that I was in the car?
It was so dangerous.
I would have done the same to rescue a dog that's trapped in the car.
