Slow down, don't trip yourself.
Are you all right?
Are you hurt?
I am fine.
I told you to slow down.
Just walk slowly.
Xia Shi.
The school will hold a coming-of-age ceremony.
Are you
giving a speech as
the students' representative?
Yes.
That is great.
You look so charming
every time you speak
on the stage.
What was that?
Nothing.
I heard what you said.
If you heard it,
why bother asking me again?
Because
I want you to say it again.
Xia Shi, you are different now.
How am I different?
Back in the days,
you would never
say something like that to me.
You would
pretend you heard nothing.
Actually,
I am always the same.
It's just that
I want to hear you say it again.
What are you talking about?
I am confused.
It's all right if you don't understand for now.
But in the future,
we'll go to Nianhu together.
You will understand then.
So...
You are not going to Fuhua University?
You are going to Nianhu with me,
is that it?
Yes.
Okay, I will work for it!
That was full of spirit,
let's hope the reality won't be...
Don't worry.
People
have endless potential.
As long as we live,
we must have the courage
to meet every challenge.
Everyday I wake up from bed,
I give myself
a big hug!
Then I tell myself,
"I must give my best today"
"because I am the best!"
Enough fooling around.
It's time to go home.
Ye Sang Yu.
Extra lessons at my home tomorrow,
don't be late.
Fine.
This is ten grand.
And this is
28 grand.
And I have a secret saving
of seven grand.
It's all here.
But we need more money.
Tell me,
why didn't you let us know
when you ran into trouble?
You were investing?
Look at us now,
we lost everything
and got so much debt!
What do we do now?
I never thought
Old Zhao would
lie to me.
I've known him for years.
He called me at New Year
telling me that
it was paying back.
I was overjoyed,
so I borrowed more for investment.
I shouldn't have done that.
I was thinking
it could pay for Leafy's university fees.
We could renovate the house.
We could have
more goods in the shop.
We would have more than enough
and we could have a better life.
But guess what?
Old Zhao ripped me off!
I am sorry, this is my fault.
I...
I should have talked to you about this.
I...
This is my fault.
Honey.
Maybe
I can pawn this ring.
No,
I won't let you pawn it.
I won't let you do it.
I gave this to you.
I'll figure something out.
I'll figure something out.
There must be a way out.
There must be a way.
There must be.
I...
I should
talk to my mother about this.
We'll see if she can help us.
I am home.
Sang Yu,
I am going to granny's
for something.
Stay home
and listen to your father while I am away.
Study hard.
Father.
What happened between you two?
Why is she
going to Granny's house?
It's nothing.
She simply
misses your Granny too much.
Now that you are home,
stay in your room.
How much can she lend us?
She said
she could only lend us 50 grand at most.
But we are a long way from getting 100 grand.
So,
I've been thinking all night.
I have an idea.
Maybe we could fake a divorce for now.
Ye You Min, what do mean by this?
No, hear me out.
Please.
As of now, this house
is still owned under your mother's name.
If the debt collectors want to rough us up,
they can't do anything to us here.
But
I should leave and hide for a while.
If they come
for the debts,
just tell them...
Just show them
the divorce certificate.
Tell them we are divorced.
So
tell them
you don't know where I am.
No.
I will never agree to divorce.
Just trust me.
We have to
overcome this trouble.
Leafy is having her Entrance Exam soon,
we can't let this influence her.
No.
Trust me and get the divorce.
Father.
Where are you going?
I thought you are still asleep,
so I didn't wake you up.
I am going on business trip for a while.
It might take a few months.
It could take longer than that.
Your mother will be back soon.
Stay safe while I am away.
But where are you going?
That is none of your concern.
I am going to a nice place.
It's warm there.
It's all right, don't worry.
Your main focus right now
is to do your revision
and do well in the exam.
Remember,
while I am away,
take good care of your mother.
Okay?
Why are you crying?
It's all right.
I have to go now.
Father.
Goodbye.
