ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
Professor He, have you eaten?
Yes.
My mom made beef noodles. I added two fried eggs.
I see.
My uncle told me everything.
How is Mr. He now?
Shall I take leave and visit him?
It's fine. Maybe next time.
Okay.
Tomorrow is our store's anniversary.
I can take leave, but my supervisor will scold me.
Right. We have a dance for the store's anniversary.
Let me show you!
I said stop. Can't you hear me?
Stop dancing!
Cai Minmin.
Even my son can do these moves.
What are you practicing for? Come with me.
Seriously.
I can dance without the head.
Didn't you hear me?
Come with me! Hurry!
My phone!
Professor He, I have more surprises!
-I'm not done yet! -Come with me!
Sir, your delivery.
PLEASE DRAW A HAPPY MELON FOR MY BOYFRIEND
Is he diagnosed with Alzheimer's?
Yes.
I'll do this.
I'll search for good local specialists.
Or how about this?
I'll take time off to visit Fanxing's dad.
It's fine if we didn't know he was sick.
But now that we do, we should definitely pay him a visit.
What?
Wouldn't you be meeting her parents?
It's like a forced marriage.
What do you know?
Fanxing's dad has Alzheimer's.
If we don't visit him and meet him now,
do we wait until he can't tell people apart?
That's true.
I'll talk to Fanxing.
Of course. We can't just show up.
By the way, how is Minmin's part-time job?
I didn't think that she would actually work.
This daughter of mine,
I'd still worry that she'll starve even if I hang food on her.
Caiwei, don't worry.
Everyone knows how to grow up.
HE FANXING
Ms. He looks pretty as well today.
Don't you have work?
There's no hope for you, kid.
Forget it.
I didn't do anything.
Can't I be in a one-sided love?
An open one-sided love is also moral coercion.
-Yuan Song, here! -Hey.
What?
Nothing.
Come on.
Sit here.
Qingqing has left.
The seat next to mine is yours now.
-Should I kneel to thank you? -No. People might think you're proposing.
I'm taken.
Are you still dating that taxi driver?
What taxi driver?
He's an elegant and chic chauffeur, okay?
They have uniforms.
He looks really sexy in it.
Since you're all here,
I'll tell you now.
Initially,
I planned to resign before we move offices.
But my dad is sick.
I spoke to Mr. Li today.
Next Monday will be my last day.
I'm almost done with the handover.
So Bai can handle it alone now.
Mr. He is sick? What's wrong?
Alzheimer's.
Early stage.
We'll look for experts in this area and see how things go.
So I have to spend more time with my dad now.
Are you leaving already?
Qingqing just left.
Every department has someone leaving.
Now that you're leaving,
it feels like our big family
is breaking apart.
That's right. We're breaking apart.
But Ms. He's dad is sick.
She won't be in the mood to work.
Get through this first.
We're still in the same city.
Let's meet up when we're free.
That's right.
You're Ms. He's favorite. Say something.
I...
I can't be of much help.
Don't be too sad.
Why are you so nervous? You're stuttering.
My goodness. Seriously, Bai.
What face is that? What did I do?
Nothing, you fearless warrior.
Two days ago,
you searched for my dad with us the whole night.
I saw your attendance. You still came to work yesterday.
Thank you.
Someday, I will...
I will let Canyang treat you to a meal.
If you want to thank me,
buy me a meal yourself.
I know very well
that my unrequited love is moral coercion.
You're feeling very down and have problems at home.
Yet I can't do anything to help.
The only thing I can do now is not causing trouble.
But I don't want our final memory to be a fight again.
Think about it.
Sure.
I'll buy you a meal.
I also don't want to remember us
fighting until the end.
How about this weekend?
Let's play badminton and have a meal after.
Okay. See you then.
-All right. -I'll get back to work.
Dad.
-Mr. He. -Yes, Song Xue.
My friend knows an expert from the military hospital.
But he's booked until next Wednesday.
By then, I'll go with you.
Thank you, Song Xue.
Actually,
this disease isn't easy to cure.
But compared to our previous guess
of a nerve-compressing brain tumor, this is better.
I don't have issues with it.
I'm just worried
that I will trouble all of you.
-Dad. -What?
When your mom and I were your age,
we had two clueless kids
and elders to care for.
We also had to work.
We were working like clockwork every day.
We had to feed a big family.
Every penny earned was carefully spent.
It's different now.
You're in your 30s, but you still behave like kids.
Now that I'm sick, what are you going to do?
What else?
My salary isn't low.
I can support you.
That brain of yours can only think of money.
-Eat up. -Thank you, Mrs. He.
Eat some fruits for your brain.
Money is important,
but a patient needs to be cared for.
You're a bachelor.
You can't even look after yourself. Who can you care for?
Is He Canyang your only child?
What about me?
I have resigned earlier anyway.
While I'm home, I'll take care of Dad.
Don't.
Your dad is not at that stage yet.
There is still me at home.
I just won't let your dad go out alone.
I'll follow him wherever he goes.
Just do what you have to do.
Everything will go on as usual.
Your mom is right.
Now that you're sick, you agree with me?
If I had I known,
I would have wished you'd gotten Alzheimer's ten years ago.
When have I not agreed with you?
You're so forgetful.
Chances are high that you'll get Alzheimer's too.
You're the one with Alzheimer's now!
-Seriously. -Mom.
Stop saying the word "Alzheimer's".
It's horrible. I'd get Alzheimer's too.
You said it, not me.
Look. You got scolded.
In our family,
no one can defeat your mom.
Song Xue, you go.
I'm just worried about the kids.
Especially Fanxing.
Look.
It's because you treat them like kids.
You support everything they do and think for them.
That's why they don't grow up.
