Staying Together

(Adapted from the web novel "Waiting for You in a City")
(Fireworks of My Heart)
(Episode 28)
Hello.
Let me send you home.
I'll come back after you're home.
It's okay.
It's convenient for me to drive back.
Besides, if my mom sees
that I didn't bring my car back,
she'll surely ask questions.
It's troublesome.
Don't miss me too much.
As if I will.
But I
will miss you.
Okay, I'm hanging up.
She has been glowing lately.
I'll miss you then.
I have goosebumps all over from that.
Zhai Miao.
Come here.
What is it?
- Itching for a beating again? - No, Song Yan.
People who are in love become much more nice.
Why did you become so grumpy?
Let go!
Let go.
You messed up my hair.
You always come home.
Have you written your thesis?
Well,
I came to see you
since you're finally resting at home.
We're siblings after all.
Get to the point. Make it quick.
Actually, I just want to borrow
your point of view as a straight man.
Between these two photos,
which one is better?
Look.
This one?
Or this one?
Aren't they the same?
How are they the same?
Take a closer look.
There's a subtle difference
between the two photos.
See for yourself.
There's no difference.
They're the same.
Aren't they all the same person?
You're really lame.
If Xu Qin asks you the same thing
and you said that,
she'd be so mad at you.
She didn't ask me.
She didn't?
How is that possible?
Which girlfriend doesn't send photos to her boyfriend?
Does this mean
that she takes you for an outsider?
Get out.
Why are you so anxious?
You're doing this every day instead of studying.
Do your parents know?
I was thinking
I'd tell them after I make big money.
Big money?
It's not as easy as you think.
Let me ask you.
Even if you really get popular,
she can go solo.
What do you have?
We're classmates. We won't split up.
Besides,
I have the account.
The account is yours.
The face is hers.
Then I'll split half the money with her.
But you're right.
I should find time
to sign the contract with her.
Song Yan.
You know what?
Right now, I can earn
10,000 yuan a month.
Aunt!
- Yes? - Song Yan!
Come here.
Sit.
I'll buy a bag for your girlfriend.
You'll buy a bag for her?
That's more like it.
You've matured.
What is it, Yan Er?
Please, Song Yan.
It's nothing, Aunt.
You're the best.
How is this?
Harder.
Okay.
All right.
Here.
The door is open. Enter.
Your brother came back last week,
but you didn't.
You're back this week,
but your brother doesn't.
Did you two
agree on this?
Maybe it's just a coincidence.
It's the end of the year. Everyone's busy.
Have more soup.
I haven't seen you for over a month.
I feel like you've lost weight again.
Here.
Thank you, Dad.
You haven't seen your brother
for a long time too, right?
I just feel like he has something on his mind.
How about you ask him?
If I do, he won't say anything.
When both of you are not home,
this house is too lonely.
They should get married soon.
When they have a child,
this house will be lively.
That's true.
Dad, Mom.
I have a boyfriend.
How long has it been?
Not long.
It has been less than a month.
Break up with him then.
I've known him for over ten years.
He is
the boyfriend
I went to college with,
Song Yan.
How was my guess?
She hasn't been coming home lately
and I knew.
Qin Qin.
Your dad and I don't agree with it.
Qin Qin.
Song Yan was a hooligan
in school.
A few years ago,
his parents had some problems.
Why do you insist on being with him?
What do his parents' matter
have to do with him?
He's a victim too.
He was just rebellious before.
He's not a bad person.
Once a girl is in love,
she becomes completely blind.
Your mom and I are worried
that you'll fall for his tricks.
He's not tricking me.
There's nothing for him to lie to me about.
Even if he isn't lying to you,
does he have everything
that you already have now?
Your educational background, family background,
and living conditions don't match.
Your gap is so far apart.
The difference in values
will show themselves sooner or later.
When that happens,
big and small problems will keep coming up.
Between him and me,
there are no big or small problems,
besides your objection.
Qin Qin, just because there aren't any now
it doesn't mean they won't exist in the future.
Let me give you a simple example.
Let's say
Let's say you like French cuisine.
But he
can only take you to street stalls.
Of course you can eat street food.
You can eat at street stalls with him every day.
But can he eat French food with you every day?
No.
Because two French meals
might cost him a month's salary.
Qin Qin.
Both of you
live in two completely different environments.
The degree of difficulty and understanding of life
is also completely different.
Dad, Mom.
I understand
what you're saying.
I've been thinking about it these days.
I've thought it through.
I don't want to have French food.
I don't want street food either.
I just want to eat
the food he cooked.
For the past ten years,
I've been eating at restaurants every day.
I'm sick of it.
Now,
I want to marry him.
I want to have my own family.
I want to eat the food he cooks for me.
Okay?
What did this man put in your head?
You won't listen to us anymore.
If you're not happy in your marriage
and your future life don't turn out well,
we'll feel guilty.
We'll feel sorry for your birth parents.
It wasn't easy for us to raise you.
We doted on you and loved you.
We didn't do it
to send you to someone else's house
to do the dishes,
do the laundry,
or mop the floor.
Dad, Mom.
I know you're worried about me.
That you love me.
That you don't trust him.
But I know what kind of person he is.
Then trust me, okay?
Qin Qin.
Frankly speaking,
in your relationship with Song Yan,
he's the one reaping the benefits.
How many fewer years
does he have to struggle if he's with you?
Have you thought about that?
In our relationship,
I'm the one who benefits from it.
I really like him.
I really, really do.
I'm happy when I'm with him.
I just want to make myself happier, can't I?
Yes.
Mom said
people can't have everything.
Let's say, to be with him,
I'll have to lose something.
To be with him,
I'll have to face the problems you mentioned.
I still want to choose him.
I just want him.
I've always listened to you.
Can I not do it this once?
Just this once.
Qin Qin.
Even if you lose your parents
or your brother,
will you still choose him?
Is that it?
Why must you do this?
It's not that I want you to marry a certain someone.
But you should at least find someone
from a similar background.
This won't do.
There's no negotiation.
Give it a try if you dare.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
For this man,
you're going to cut ties
with this family and your parents.
Is that right?
Even if I get kicked out,
you'll always be my parents.
I won't forget
your grace in raising me.
I'll visit you every week.
Even if
you won't let me inside,
I'll still come.
If you're unhappy,
just scold me.
If you don't even want to scold me,
or talk to me,
I'll still come.
I'll do my best
to be filial to you.
Do you think
I'll become soft-hearted
just because you're wheedling me?
Dad.
I'm sorry.
I have no other choice
but to do this.
Qin Qin.
You're too immature.
You broke my heart.
From the looks of it,
Qin Qin is determined this time.
Don't worry.
She can't outwit me.
I raised her.
I know.
She's just like Yan Chen.
Soft-hearted
and filial.
She won't cut ties with us.
She just likes the novelty for now.
After some time,
when she sees
what that family is like,
then she'll back off.
Their lifestyles are night and day.
She won't be used to it.
She'll come back very soon.
Of all people,
why does it have to be Song Zhi Yong's son?
Huai Jin.
This time,
you have to stand with me.
You can't play the good cop anymore.
What's wrong with Miao Miao?
She was hiding in her room
as soon as she came back.
What is she up to?
Maybe she's writing her graduation thesis.
Song Yan.
I have something to tell you.
I just want to talk to you
about you and Xiao Qin.
Of course.
About you two getting together,
your uncle and I don't have any objections.
Aunt.
If you have any comments,
just say it.
Well,
so many things have happened
between her family and ours.
Xiao Qin might not know it,
but we do.
One thing after another
harmed your dad
and you.
You're in the middle
of such a serious matter.
There are grudges being held.
I'm just afraid
Uncle.
Aunt.
I just want to say this.
About the past,
I don't wish to think about it
nor do I want to.
I just want to cherish the present.
Do you think
I'm unworthy?
I wanted to let it go.
But for some reason,
we bumped into each other.
Again and again.
It's fine when I don't see them.
But once I do,
it's useless no matter what I say.
I don't care if I'm unworthy.
Who's unworthy?
Our Song Yan is the most worthy.
Right?
Back then
- Say something. - Be gentle.
Yes.
This
How are you unworthy?
In this life,
fame and fortune are just for show.
Living with someone you don't like
is what's meaningless.
Uncle.
I'm sorry
for what happened back then.
Song Yan.
You've suffered so much.
Why are you sorry?
Your aunt and I
aren't saying anything else.
Knowing their family back then,
after what happened,
I'm sure they won't approve of you two being together.
I'm afraid that Xiao Qin
won't be able to persuade her family.
Then you'll be sad again, right?
I know.
But you don't know her.
It's hard for her to make a decision.
But once she has made up her mind,
she won't give up.
Because she knows
I'll never
let her down.
What's good today?
We've been waiting for you.
Hello?
Where are you?
I'll be right there.
I'm going out for a while.
What's wrong?
What's going on?
You must be freezing.
Today
I don't want to talk about it.
Okay.
We won't talk about it.
Song Yan.
I don't want to go back to that house.
Will you go
to my house?
What's this?
House keys.
Two of them.
One for the front door.
One for my room.
I'm afraid that when I'm at work,
I'd be gone for a week sometimes.
I won't have time for you.
With the keys,
you'll have a place to stay.
I didn't expect the first time I'd bring you here
would be in such a hurry.
I know you don't like dealing with people.
If you feel uncomfortable inside
and you feel bad,
you have to tell me.
It's not the first time.
Let's go home and have dinner.
Song Yan, Xu Qin. Hurry.
We're waiting for you to eat.
- Come in. - You must be hungry.
You must be.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhai.
It's cold outside, right?
Right, Zhai Miao.
Get Xiao Qin some warm water.
- That's right. - Okay.
You haven't eaten yet?
No, we were just about to eat
when my brother got your call.
My dad said to wait to eat with you.
My mom even cooked two more dishes.
Why are you so talkative?
To be honest,
Song Yan suddenly called
and said you were coming for dinner.
We didn't prepare much.
Next time,
I'll make you more delicious food.
It's already a feast.
They're all my favorite dishes.
Really?
That's great.
Wash your hands and let's eat.
Yes, let's eat.
The left one.
What are you doing?
My aunt didn't want you to wash your hands with cold water.
Hot water on the left, cold water on the right.
I'm not an idiot.
I know.
Make yourself at home.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhai are so friendly.
I'm embarrassed.
It's good that you're used to it.
Let's go.
Mom.
This dish is too bland.
Which one? This one?
Let me try it.
It's not bland. It's good.
Your taste is too strong.
It's just right for me.
Too much salt is not healthy.
Xiao Qin.
If you think something doesn't suit your taste,
you can tell me.
Your cooking is delicious.
Hear that?
Uncle, Aunt.
Xu Qin is moving in.
We're going to get married.
That's great.
Remember, Xiao Qin.
From now on, this is your home.
Yes, don't be shy.
We're family now.
As expected of the honeymoon phase.
Song Yan, for your age,
is it considered an old house catching on fire?
By the way, Song Yan.
This weekend,
take Xiao Qin to buy some furniture.
- Right? - Yes.
It's time for the furniture to be replaced.
It's about time.
Xu Qin, I'll help you move.
It's only right that you help out.
By the way, Xu Qin.
Are you going to stay here tonight?
Why are you asking so many questions?
I didn't ask you.
Xu Qin.
If you don't like my brother's room,
I can go back to school tonight.
You can sleep in my room then.
Right, I have a lot of pajamas.
If you don't mind, you can wear them.
I have tons.
I've said too much.
Children's words carry no harm.
- Let's eat. - Eat up.
Eat more, Xiao Qin.
Aunt is too much.
She laid out two blankets.
That's unnecessary.
What are you doing?
This is good.
Listen to your aunt.
Okay, listen to my aunt.
Here.
Where should I put it?
Here, look.
Here's fine.
Yes, right here. Okay.
Yes. Okay.
Okay. Thank you, everyone.
- You're welcome. - Thank you. Okay.
Such great service.
What are you doing at this hour?
Honey, come here.
I asked my acquaintance
to pick out some good materials.
Tomorrow, I'll make Qin Qin
a dresser.
Let them pick one out themselves.
What if she's too shy to say that she doesn't like it,
but can't say no to you?
No, she
Why wouldn't she like it?
Look, I drew up a modern design.
Look at the drawers and the frame.
It's much more intricate than the ones in the market.
Gosh, it's quite nice.
All right.
If she doesn't like it, give it to me.
If she likes it, I'll make another one just for you.
Okay?
The things in our room are old too.
Shouldn't we get new ones?
Replace them all.
Okay.
Is this room soundproof?
Keep it down.
Zhai Miao can hear us.
What's wrong?
My back is itchy.
Scratch it for me.
Here?
No.
A little lower.
Lower.
A little to the left.
Where is it?
My heart.
Still itchy?
Are you itchy?
Still itchy?
Very itchy.
(I miss a city because there are things to miss in the city)
Let me help you.
I'm almost done.
Roll up my sleeves. Hurry.
Qin Qin.
You've lost weight.
Are you that busy at the hospital
to eat properly?
From now on,
I'll nourish you well.
You're doomed.
Be careful. You'll turn into a pig.
Did I turn you into a pig?
That's right.
Have an egg.
No more. I just ate one.
Have another one.
I'll eat it.
Okay.
Song Yan needs nourishment too.
You've been working too hard.
Indeed.
Millet porridge, red eggs,
and steamed buns.
I need to nourish myself too.
You do need to nourish yourself.
Save up your energy
to help Xiao Qin move.
I'm telling you, those heavy and sharp things
can't be touched by Xiao Qin.
Her hands are a surgeon's hand.
- Got it? - Hear what your mom said?
Don't worry. I won't slack off.
My hands don't need to hold scalpels.
It's fine if they break.
Silly girl.
Dad, look. Mom hit me again.
Well, it makes sense.
Because your hand compared with Qin Qin's,
her hands are indeed valuable.
You have to bear with it.
You don't have to take off your shoes.
Okay.
Xu Qin.
Your house is so big.
Take all those seasonings with you.
Don't waste them.
Leave it to me. Don't worry.
Song Yan, how much is this house worth?
But it's okay.
Your place isn't worse than this.
It's a bit small, but it's cozy.
Once the furniture is in place, it must be better than here.
Why is my mom calling again?
Hello, Mom.
Xu Qin.
My mom wants to know what you want to eat.
Fish.
Fish.
What else?
Beef and broccoli.
Beef and broccoli.
Xu Qin.
You have such a nice house.
Do you feel sad about moving?
Not really.
I'm usually busy with work.
I don't spend much time at home.
It's just a place to live.
I think there should be some memories
in the place you live.
That's why I'm afraid you'd hesitate.
I don't have
many memories here.
Every day,
I come home from the hospital.
Then I wash up and go to bed.
It's the same every day.
I don't know my neighbors
and people rarely visit me.
It's just a house.
Is that so?
If someone asks me
to move out of that shabby yard,
I might feel a little sad.
A house and a home
are different.
By the way, Xu Qin.
Aren't you taking these things with you?
These?
My mom gave them to me.
I don't usually have
the chance to carry them anyway.
This is such a big house.
Is this all you're taking?
Only these things
belong to me.
Xu Qin, don't be sad.
From now on, our whole family will treat you well.
Look I used to be the one
who hated you the most.
Now, even I'd take care of you.
So don't worry.
Right, and these.
The bags you didn't take with you.
When I make money,
I'll buy them all for you.
And my brother will buy them for you too.
He doesn't say it,
but deep down,
he really loves you.
He'll do anything for you.
It's true. Trust me.
Let me help you.
What do you think?
It's okay.
What about you?
It's too hard.
Let's try another one.
(Minimalist life)
I like this one.
We'll buy it.
Hello.
- Hello. - Is there one that you like?
We'll take this one.
Sir, you have a good eye.
This bed is very comfortable.
My boss picked it out.
I'd like to know when the delivery will be.
In two weeks.
Can it be quicker?
It's the warehouse that distributes and arranges logistics.
There's nothing we can do.
We'll just wait then.
That won't do.
Will we sleep on the floor every day?
How about this?
Can I take it home myself?
We're in a hurry.
By yourself?
- Chief. - Chief.
- Song Yan. - Song Yan.
What are we moving?
It's a special mission.
Let's go.
Move the bed?
There's a woman on the bed. Do we move her together?
- We're outside. - It's Dr. Xu.
Chief.
Why is Dr. Xu here to buy a bed with you?
When you get back,
get your brain checked.
Are you stupid?
You don't even know that?
Pi Pi.
The flower has bloomed.
- That's right. - What?
Song Yan is no longer single?
What else is the queen bed for?
Thank you for coming here
on your day off.
- Hello. - Hello.
Is this
how I trained you?
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello, thanks for this.
All right, guys. Don't just stand there.
Let's move the bed.
Let's go.
Be gentle. Don't break it.
Slowly.
Look up.
Okay, it's fine.
Come on.
Slowly, Pi Pi.
- Slowly. - Be careful.
- Put it here. - Be careful.
Put it here.
Put it here first.
Remove the old one first, then we'll move it in.
- Okay, move the bed upstairs. - Let's go.
Get them some fruit.
Come.
Sit down.
Get some rest.
You're in charge of the inspection.
I'll do the work.
Good girl.
Song Yan.
You spoil me too much.
Are you happy?
When I first joined the team,
I had to do all sorts of work.
I'm used to it.
Do you dare to be included in my household registry?
I, Song Yan, promise,
to love only you
in my entire life.
You!
So what you said was true.
It was true back then.
You're going back to the team?
I'm leaving.
Xu Qin.
When you're staying here,
you don't have to purposely make my uncle and aunt happy.
You don't like to talk.
They've known it since you were little.
They don't mind.
Just get along with them
the same as before.
I know.
Hurry up and go.
I'm sorry
for making you stay here.
What are you talking about?
It doesn't matter where I stay.
All right.
Hurry up and go.
I'm leaving.
Go.
Bye.
Bye.
Go in.
