Have You Ever Fallen in Love, Miss Jiang? (植劇場：姜老師，妳談過戀愛嗎)

HAVE YOU EVER FALLEN IN LOVE, MISS JIANG?

EPISODE 3

Sir, please let me explain to the board of directors myself.

I want to let them know who they should investigate.

But you have no evidence. Stop fighting them.

If you don't stop, even I can't help you anymore.

Enough. By the way,

don't worry about the reconciliation meeting between Fang-jie and Ren-hui.

The directors have dealt with it.

- Sir. - Yes?

Ren-hui Li's father came to apply for his son's withdrawal.

You asked me to inform you about this.

Okay. Ask him to wait for a while. I'll be there in a minute.

Yes, sir.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Li.

Damn it!

Ren-hui.

Fang-jie said she is not coming.

See you later.

Why did she... I didn't tell her about this.

Principal.

What is the situation now? Did you find anything about the teacher?

About Xiang-ci,

we checked both her call records and transport tickets.

Her father was sent to the hospital at midnight.

She didn't provide her statement.

The director of student affairs should have dealt with this case long ago.

Didn't you always say that many people in education were his father's students?

You should have asked him to move to another school.

After the Gender Equality Conference, didn't I tell you to settle this issue

as soon as possible?

But did you listen?

Dean, you shouldn't play favorites in the school.

- Excuse me. - How can I help you?

- The director of student affairs, is he... - Ms. Jiang.

Sir.

How can I help you?

I need to prepare for the National English Spelling Bee

and the school places great importance on it,

so...

I might not be able to participate in the preparation

for school anniversary.

I see.

It's okay. I'll inform the principal about this during the next meeting.

I'm sorry and thank you very much.

No problem.

Ms. Jiang, you can do it!

Thank you and see you later.

Try your best!

Ms. Jiang.

- Yes? - Ms. Jiang.

How can I help you?

Well...

Actually,

I was going to talk to you yesterday.

Really?

Well...

Will you be free next Sunday afternoon?

Why do you want to see me?

There's something...

There's something quite important

that I want to tell you.

If you are free at about 2 p.m. next Sunday,

let's meet and have a talk.

I'll treat you to a cup of coffee.

Well...

- Okay. - Really?

That's great. Let's meet at about 2 p.m. then.

I'll inform you after I've decided the location.

Okay.

I'll excuse myself then. I have a class right now.

Okay.

- Ms. Jiang. - Yes?

Can you please not tell other teachers about this?

Okay. No problem, I guess.

See you later then.

Don't move.

This is the water of rebirth extracted from the root and seeds

of a thousand-year-old tree and purified for 49 days.

I'm now pouring it on your head, so you may be reborn.

You should rest here. There will be more rituals tomorrow morning.

Yes.

Don't worry. After these rituals, you'll become a better person.

Okay?

Okay.

Wei-lin, where are you going?

Just going out for a while.

Don't worry, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.

Go take a shower, change your clothes and sleep early today.

Okay?

Don't wander around.

I won't wander around.

You can do it.

See you later.

Go to take a shower.

Mom,

let me wipe your face for you.

I'll clean your body later today, is that all right?

Mom...

I'm so nervous.

Why does Wei-lin Chen want to see you? You shouldn't go.

But...

I think...

He knows that it was me.

If he already knows that it was me,

I have to think

how I am going to protect myself in the future.

Actually, I shouldn't tell her about this, right?

But...

But I really want to know what she will say. Do you understand?

Mom...

I really want to know what she will say.

- Americano, please. - Yes, Sir.

I'm sorry, I got caught in a traffic jam.

It's okay.

You said you have something important to tell me.

So, what is it?

There are actually two things I want to tell you.

First, you might be a bit busy in the future.

I put your name on the list of homeroom teachers and it has been approved.

I see.

The second thing...

It's difficult for me to say this since I came late.

Why?

Ms. Jiang.

Can you please tell me something?

Did I give you a good impression?

What?

Not bad.

Why do you ask?

Well,

I think female teachers have misunderstood me.

Ms. Jiang, there are even people writing letters to criticize me.

For other people,

I can only wait until they really get to know me.

But Ms. Jiang....

When I think that Ms. Jiang might assume I'm a teacher who harasses my students,

I become very upset.

What do you mean? Sir, are you...

Ms. Jiang.

Can I be honest with you?

Yes.

It's better to be honest.

I think you must have heard a lot of things about me,

but I want to tell you all the things you heard are not true.

You know when someone likes you,

but you don't feel the same way,

they then turn on you after.

From what I heard, this might be a love dispute.

What?

Is it a teacher-student relationship?

Is the person a student?

No, most of them are teachers.

Ms. Jiang.

It's just like what I said several days ago.

After I was misunderstood for harassing a female student,

I have been thinking about this.

I'm a 30-year-old now.

Other than going to work and exercising every day,

what I do is keep my mom company.

One day, my mom asked me if I like men.

I see.

If you had liked men,

people wouldn't have misunderstood you.

You're right.

But...

Ms. Jiang.

You...

might not be aware of this.

But since the first day you came to this school,

I have fallen in love with you.

What?

I've tried to keep these feelings hidden for a while now.

You've come to this school for a year and a half, right?

Yes.

I have been thinking that before I am ruined...

There is indeed a person who wants to ruin my life.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked about this.

I just want to tell you this before this person ruins me for good.

I love you.

When I wake up every morning,

I feel very happy that I'll be seeing you at work.

Every day when I'm going back home, I keep recalling how you looked that day.

When we are in class,

sometimes our eyes meet, you would nod to me.

When you're talking with other teachers,

you don't talk much, you always just listen to what people are saying.

There was a time

when everyone in the staff room asked you to read an English script.

I went in and saw that you were blushing.

Your face was red.

When I was going home that day,

I thought

that there might be a small chance that you actually love me.

Ms. Jiang.

Maybe you will never fall in love with me.

But...

please don't misunderstand me.

At least you need to know

that I'm in love with a woman so much.
