Amidst a Snowstorm of Love (2024) s01e21 Episode Script

ADAPTED FROM DURING THE SNOWSTORM
BY MOBAO FEIBAO
Shall I get you to the sofa?
No need.
I'm used to being in a wheelchair.
All right.
Just stop here.
Are you happy?
The most cherished student has returned.
Come on.
Am I not a cherished one?
He's being jealous.
You know what?
The youngest one
is always the most favored.
-All right, go inside. Come on.
-Let's go.
-To my surprise, you got a perfect score.
-Come on.
Mrs. He, let me help.
You sit and chat.
Yes,
you don't need to help.
You stay at home tonight.
Your room has already been cleaned up.
It's the one you often slept in
when you were little.
Okay.
Come on. Let's eat in the courtyard, okay?
My dad is happy.
You take that table out later.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Mom.
This is my first championship trophy.
Yes.
It's a pity you don't have many trophies.
You didn't join many games
before you retired.
If you persisted like Jiang Yang,
you might have needed
to buy a cabinet for your trophies.
-Drink.
-Drink.
Come on.
Take a look.
Here is the soup.
You're all there.
I'm so sad.
How could you
have a reunion dinner without me?
Right.
We ate it for you.
Mrs. He made many good dishes.
You're driving me crazy on purpose, right?
Yin Guo, come here.
Put Mr. He on the phone.
-Okay.
-Yin Guo, come here.
What's up, Lin Lin?
Let me drink with you.
Mr. He, someone wants to see you.
Hello.
Mr. He.
Do you remember this girl?
She went to the competition
with Meng Xiaodong when she was a child.
I can't remember clearly.
With Xiaodong?
So she's a child
of the Meng family, right?
Yes, she is Meng Xiaodong's cousin,
Yin Guo.
Hello.
How are you, Mr. He? I am Yin Guo.
Your cousin performed well on the field.
Say hello to him for me.
All right, I will.
Mr. He, how is your health?
My mom has been asking about you.
Thank you for asking.
I'm in good health. Your mom is…
Ms. Wu from the Sports Bureau.
That…
Wu Qian?
Yes.
Is Wu Qian your mom?
Yes.
Your mom is a very nice person.
She works hard.
I worked with her
when she just acted as a referee.
Your mom worked so hard.
She was career-oriented.
So as her daughter,
you should be more considerate.
I will.
I'm already used to it.
Well,
please take care.
I will visit you with my mom if possible.
Okay, thank you.
Mr. He, we have to go to training now.
Okay, go ahead.
Train hard
and bring honor to our country.
Bye.
Look how nervous you are.
That's Mr. He.
You have met his coach.
How could you not tell me in advance?
So I didn't tell Mr. He who you are.
But
I wonder what Lin Yiyang will say.
Who knows?
The girl you talked to just now
is my girlfriend.
I didn't know she was on the line.
So I wasn't prepared mentally.
Your girlfriend?
Good news. She…
I can tell
that she's a good girl.
Do you remember?
She's a 9-ball player.
She just won the championship.
The 9-ball…
It was the month when Yiyang came back.
I watched that competition.
She was impressive.
I forgot.
I didn't say anything
I shouldn't say just now, right?
Did I do okay?
Don't worry. You're a gentle old man.
You behaved well.
Good.
Yiyang,
I have to say something.
Go ahead, Mrs. He. I'm listening.
Just tell me what you want to say.
Now you have a girlfriend.
I don't know what stage you're at
in your relationship now.
But you'll have to meet
each other's parents someday.
You have no parents.
How about your coach and I
meet her parents?
Now is the right time.
Yiyang is a serious man.
I think his girlfriend is the same.
Since the two of you are
in a romantic relationship,
we should interact more
with her family.
Exactly. You're right.
Invite your girlfriend over for a meal.
Remember to invite Wu Qian too.
Yes.
I remember she greeted you
during the Lunar New Year.
But you declined her visit.
Let's invite her over now.
Yes, let's invite Wu Qian over.
Actually, we haven't told her parents
about our relationship.
Really?
Yes.
Why not?
Are you afraid they will disturb you?
Her family
doesn't like me
due to my retirement.
Who hasn't been reckless in their youth?
It's all in the past.
Take it slow.
That's true, Yiyang.
You just made a comeback.
I believe that over time,
they will see you differently.
Time will tell if you're reliable.
Don't worry about it.
Let's drink.
Come on.
Cheers. Drink up.
You've got a girlfriend. Congratulations.
-Come on.
-Yiyang, everything will be fine. Cheers.
CONTACTS
Do you want to call Wu Qian?
Yiyang has his plans.
You can't publicize it.
I know.
DEPUTY DIRECTOR WU QIAN
Excuse me, I need to take a call.
Okay.
Hello, Mr. He.
Wu Qian,
I'm calling you for nothing important.
When I watched the snooker match,
I thought of you.
Mr. He, I also thought of you.
I plan to visit you
after the match.
Thank you for thinking of me.
Wu Qian,
you're welcome to my home anytime.
Mr. He,
are you sure
you don't need me for anything?
If there's anything I can do for you,
just let me know.
Well, here's one thing.
Have you seen the results?
Yes, I have.
You have two excellent students.
Indeed. Yiyang is very impressive.
He has changed.
He has grown up, matured, and calmed down.
He made a mistake in the past.
Please be more forgiving towards him.
Mr. He, if you're worried
that I'll give him a hard time
on the field because of the past,
I promise that will never happen.
I believe in you.
Anyway, Wu Qian, I know about you.
You were there when I started my career.
I didn't give up because of your support.
You know me very well.
Yes.
Wu Qian, no matter how old you are,
in my eyes,
you're always a kind-hearted girl.
Mr. He, only you see me as a little girl.
Actually,
I…
I just want
to give Yiyang a chance to start over.
Who doesn't make mistakes?
It's all in the past.
I've left the association.
As his elder,
I wish him well.
I hope
he can train hard, enjoy his game,
and live well.
Wu Qian, you're a director
in the Sports Bureau.
You should take more care of him.
He's a good kid.
I know him very well.
Mr. He, rest assured.
As long as he's a good athlete,
we won't have any prejudice.
The past is already the past.
He's young and talented.
I'm optimistic about his future.
Wu Qian, I'm glad to hear that.
All right, I won't disturb you.
You do your things.
Let's get together another day.
Sure.
Take care, Mr. He. Bye.
All right. Goodbye.
Mr. He called me about his student.
Lin Yiyang, right?
He's now the most popular player.
His performance is good
and he's become steadier than before.
I've seen his post-game interviews.
He had a point.
Mr. He called you too early.
So many people have high hopes
for him now.
If he wins the championship,
Mr. He will get many calls
to congratulate him.
I hope he can win.
It's only been five days.
Lin Yiyang has scored another 147,
a perfect break.
Yes, returning to the local competition
for the first year,
he's breaking records with good results.
Also, Jiang Yang
is advancing victoriously,
leading new Chinese players
to achieve the best results
in the open competition.
At the home ground,
he presented spectacular moments
for the Chinese audience.
Yin Guo.
Lin Lin.
Look.
He made it to the finals.
I know.
-Fantastic.
-Look how excited you are.
-That's great.
-People are watching.
There's no one around
and even if someone sees,
it's normal to see me with you.
After all, you're my coach.
Yes, it's my honor to be your coach.
By the way, there's a pep meeting
tomorrow afternoon.
Tomorrow afternoon?
But he'll be in his final match.
Yes.
I missed his semi-final
and now I'm going to miss his final.
He's already back.
You will watch his matches more often.
Besides, it's his turn
to watch you win the championship.
I…
I can't say for sure that I'll win.
But I'll give it my all
to win first place.
Good.
Hello, dear audience
and online viewers,
welcome to the Snooker China Open finals.
Now, the Chinese player Lin Yiyang enters.
Come on.
LIVE, SNOOKER CHINA OPEN
2023 HULL 9-BALL OPEN PRE-GAME RALLY
Quiet, please.
Let's welcome the deputy director, Ms. Wu.
Hello, everyone.
I hold this pre-game pep meeting
on behalf of the Sports Bureau.
The 9-ball game is our strong point,
but do not be complacent.
Okay, now, it's a tie-breaker.
Every point is critical.
Garroselvin is down by 30 points.
His points are not enough.
He needs a snooker
to overtake.
Garroselvin excels at playing snooker.
It's tough.
Lin Yiyang has escaped the yellow ball.
So Garroselvin has to continue.
LIVE, SNOOKER CHINA OPEN
He successfully blocked the yellow ball
with the black one.
LIVE, SNOOKER CHINA OPEN
LIVE, SNOOKER CHINA OPEN
It will not be an issue for Lin Yiyang.
LIVE, SNOOKER CHINA OPEN
This snooker shot is difficult.
Yes, he looks very careful.
I wonder what he will do.
Garroselvin's defensive play is good.
LIVE, SNOOKER CHINA OPEN
Lin Yiyang is struggling
to escape from the snooker.
But he hasn't had the chance
to go on the offensive.
Garroselvin has made seven attempts
in a row without success.
Lin Yiyang has responded
to his opponent with composure.
He did it and played one shot.
Under great pressure,
he played such high-quality snooker.
Touching ball.
Yes, it seems like
Garroselvin always faces difficult shots
in this open competition.
Even in the final,
he still has to face a tough situation.
Garroselvin is feeling helpless now.
Congratulations to Lin Yiyang
for winning the China Open.
Congratulations
to the Chinese player, Lin Yiyang.
Finally.
They did it.
Here.
Great.
That's great.
I hope you can play in your own way
with good results.
I'll look forward
to your triumphant return.
Go for it.
Okay, you'll be heading to the airport.
I won't take up your time.
Thank you for the encouragement.
Dismissed.
CHATS
CHAMPION
I miss you.
Lin Yiyang just won the championship.
Good for him.
Really?
I haven't received the news.
Check the news on your phone.
It's all about him. Look.
Here.
Champion, why are you sitting alone?
I'm tired.
Why don't you call your girlfriend?
She has a pep rally this afternoon.
You're the champion
and she is the Rookie of the Year
going for the championship.
You two are a perfect match.
LIN'S GUO
I didn't expect you to win.
You are the best. It's like a dream.
I'm so happy for you.
-Duncuo.
-Duncuo.
-Duncuo.
-Duncuo.
-Duncuo.
-Duncuo.
-Duncuo.
-Duncuo.
Congratulations, Duncuo.
Take it back for me.
He won his first National Championship
at 13 years old.
It feels like he never changed.
He went over the stand,
took off the vest,
and walked through the court,
wearing a shirt and ill-fitting pants.
Lin Yiyang
has finally come back.
He's completely back.
Yin Guo.
You are in a secret relationship.
We're keeping it a secret for you.
Just don't give yourself away.
Is it better now like this?
What should I do?
I can't go out like this.
Wait a moment.
Put it on.
Does it work?
Yes, give it a try.
Okay?
Okay.
-Come on.
-I have to go, coach.
Get in.
Thank you.
Good luck.
Okay.
We're leaving.
Come on.
Here you are.
What's the matter?
If you agree, it will be settled quickly.
Otherwise, I'll have to waste my breath.
Forget it.
Is that it?
Both of us
have different plans.
Tell me about your plan.
I plan to open a billiards club,
just like the one at Hursin.
It's not for competitions.
It's to foster the public's interest.
Snooker, after all, is a niche sport.
With a small base,
I'll start by building the foundation.
Clubs like Dongxin City and Bei City
mainly focus on training professionals.
It's different from what I want to do.
Our coach and I will support you.
I can't take risks with Dongxin City.
Dongxin City has a huge business.
So many coaches won't work with me.
All right, I'm done.
I have to go.
Are you not even giving me
a chance for a rebuttal?
You'll have a lot to say.
It's a waste of time.
By the way, I'm going to go on a date.
During the off-season,
I don't need the cue stick.
Hold it for me until I return.
He looks so cool.
Yin Guo, do you want something to drink?
No, thank you.
-Okay.
-Please watch our luggage for us.
-All right, go ahead.
-Let's go.
Your boyfriend is awesome.
The news are all about him.
Why are you wearing a hat?
Are you shocked?
What are you doing here?
I'll take you to the match
and swing by the billiard room.
Then I'll do something else.
Sit down.
Don't let others see you.
Come on.
Why?
Many of our peers will be on this flight.
They are going to the 9-Ball Open.
You just won the game today
and it's trending news.
Don't let others see you.
Put it on.
Come on.
Right, my mom told me
Mr. He gave her many calls
about you.
My coach was very happy
when he learned about our relationship.
He asked me
to invite you over.
To your coach's home?
Yes,
it's convenient for him.
After all, he's too old to move around.
No, that's not what I mean.
I…
Since I started practicing
at ten years old,
I've heard a lot about your coach.
I never thought
that one day I could meet him.
You are his student's girlfriend.
It's proper to meet him.
I know that.
But you know what?
Before I knew you,
I thought Mr. He's students
were all much older than me.
Even the youngest Jiang Yang
is six years older than Xiaodong.
I never thought
Mr. He had a student like you.
I'm indeed his student.
But I don't think
I'm too much older than you.
Nice try.
Your coach is coming.
Is he your friend?
Yes.
He will accompany me
and go to see his old friends.
He's good.
Right after winning the championship,
he directly came here for you.
Don't they have a celebration party?
I don't know.
When you two met,
you were better than him, right?
How did you know
he would have a promising future?
Maybe…
I fell for his looks.
It's him.
-Hello, Yiyang.
-Hello.
Go ahead.
Let's go.
Take care of your stuff.
-Where's your suitcase?
-I'll go get it.
No need to take them to say hi to me.
Why not?
Our team respects coaches
and seniors as well.
Let's go.
You guys go first. I'll join you later.
Aren't you coming with us?
Yin Guo is shy and afraid of being seen.
I'll walk alone behind you guys.
Okay, I'm off.
Okay.
I'm sorry. Someone is in the restroom.
Then I'll wait for a little bit.
Lin Yiyang is up ahead. He's handsome.
He's better than his pictures.
Really? Can I take a photo with him?
I don't think so,
but an autograph should be fine.
I tried, but he just refused me.
I guess he doesn't want to take a photo.
What a pity.
Is someone in the restroom?
I heard the attendant talking about you.
I heard you don't like to take photos.
How about an autograph? Right here.
Okay?
I'm going to kiss you.
Be careful.
Hi.
I even forgot to go to the restroom.
Hello, would you like something to drink?
-No, thank you.
-Madam, would you like something to drink?
Why are you still up?
I'm not sleepy.
I won the match
for you.
My little queen.
You…
Do you actually remember?
Of course.
I remember when a girl
won her first professional match,
she ran to the stands
with all eyes on her.
Regardless of the live camera
and what the future holds,
she took an audience's hand,
hoping to share her most precious thing
and the most glorious moment
with that audience.
The audience
always remembers that.
My heart is beating a bit fast.
Are you moved?
I have always been moved by you.
My world champion.
Yes.
We are about to arrive
at the place where we met.
This time,
I'll win the championship.
