The Way We Were

Episode 9

I

This is not simply writing.

Every character your mom writes down is one giant leap for our family.

We fight together

I am fine,don't worry.We fight together

Darling, don't worry.

Don't worry.

I will be okay.

Have you cancelled your air ticket yet?

I had it cancelled before the flight departed.

Cost me a 20% cancellation fee.

It's good you canceled it.

From now on,all you need to do is relax and go to school.

I know you are worrying about money.

As I said,things will eventually sort themselves out

Don't get distracted by tuition and living expenses.

It's not your problem anyway,you hear me?

Professor Anderson told me today that

He decided to offer me a campus job.

He asked me to work as his assistant.

10 dollars per hour,20 hours per week.

If so I am able to earn,

700 to 800 dollars per month.

Which means you will have to work 3 to 4 hours every day?

Is it a bit hard?

Dad,so many people are fighting for this hard work.

Professor Anderson is a good person.

He gave me such a good offer.

Otherwise,a fresh graduate student like me,there is no way for me to get a job like that.

Qing'er,do you know,

I have never been weak-minded or hesitant in my life.

But for the last two weeks I can't help thinking that,

I just need to reach out my hands and every problem can be solved.

Dad,the only advantage for this unexpected accident,

Is that It makes me believe

You are such an honest prosecutor.

I am so proud of you from the bottom of my heart.

We have hands,we can solve problems by ourselves.

You see,I asked you to stay there,but on the contrary it makes you suffer more.

Of course,it forces you to become stronger.

It's also making yourself suffer,and forcing yourself to become stronger.

OK,let's do what your mom says,let's fight together.

Even a poor student like your mom,she's doing good.

We are excellent students,we can't lose.

Of course we will win.

- Fighting! - Fighting!

-Bye. -Bye.

Goal!

It almost went in.

It's because the right person didn't show up at the right time.

Am I your Mr.Right?

Tch.

Don't flatter yourself. How would I know?

Aren't we together?

Are we?

Why wouldn't we be?

Keep dreaming.

Why wouldn't we be?

Tsinghua University

Have you never met a girl you liked?

Miao Ying! Your squad is here! Hi!

We love you! We love you!

We miss you so much!

Just for you, we all came

even though there were better things we could be doing.

We managed to fly here from all over the country. Do you know why?

We did it to reunite here at our alma mater!

Relive our beautiful youthful years!

Wow you can really talk.

Of course!

Isn't the Ning Ming!

What are you doing here?

You guys are here too.

Are you also here to send Miao Ying a wedding message?

What? Who?

Miao Ying!

You didn't know she's getting married in the US?

I didn't know. When did that happen?

Next Sunday!

We plan on flying over to attend the ceremony.

Alright, alright. Stop spacing out.

You're here just in time to be our cameraman.

We can get rid of this one.

Alright.

Is here okay?

Are we pretty?

Okay, we are ready.

Good to go?

Miao Ying, you're marrying him today.

- Stop laughing, be serious! - I don't know why I want to laugh.

Okay, serious!

Mr. Shu Che, the Miao Ying of the past was yours.

The future Miao Ying is still yours.

Don't steal my thunder. Of course she's still yours.

But her most wonderful, lovely four years...

It's ours!

You must always make her happy. I don't need to say this obviously.

Let me tell you,

if you ever, even just a little,

or a speck of unhappiness comes from Miao Ying,

she has all of us standing behind her.

We're all watching you carefully.

Don't blame us for your repercussions.

You better be careful!

Dont! Let's see.

Here.

This... why is it shaking so much?

We have to refilm it!

Do you have Parkinson's?

- Look! - Let's do it again.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Our positions weren't good.

No, you should change positions.

You go in more. You too.

I turned on Chen Hong Yu's location sharing service.

That way, I'd be able to find Miao Ying

through her future activities.

I'm still unsure of why I did this.

Buried in the corner of my heart, what other emotions are there,

what other crazy actions am I capable of doing?

- Are you done yet? - I'm just adjusting something.

Make the contrast brighter. It was too dark earlier.

Mr. Su Che! The past Miao Ying is yours.

The future Miao Ying

is still yours!

But! The wonderful, lovely four years

were ours!

How dare you try and ask for a year off?

They said you'd be here.

Am I distracting you?

Yes.

I haven't say anything, yet you are driving me way already.

I am working.

Ah?Working?

Aren't I researching for Professor Anderson?

How's the campus job?Is it hard?

It's OK,basically paperwork,not that hard.

However my own time is getting much shorter obviously.

So I really shouldn't break into

Your gold-like precious time？

- You get something for me? -Yes.

My sister and Shu Che will get married tomorrow.

That soon?I thought they wanted to prepare a bit longer.

They don't want to make it a big deal,just a simple registry office marriage.

But I've decided,

To give them a series of surprises once they step out of the town hall.

I even invited my sister's best girl friends in university from Beijing.

So the reason why I am here today,is that I want to invite you

To their bachelorette party tomorrow,the theme is One Last Indulgence.

Are you interested?

I might not have time tomorrow.

Are you still mad at us upper class?

No.

I am pretty grateful for what you said and what you did.

Even though I don't agree with it.

And what about our bubble of friendship,

- Hasn't burst yet? -Not yet.

Can I ask you two questions?

First,can I come to you more often?

Sure,but not so often.

Second,can I introduce you some better part-time jobs?

I ensure these jobs can earn money and it won't be hard.

Then I have to thank you.

Here is the deal.Can you help me to write a paper?

What paper?

For me it is really difficult.

This is the better part-time job you offer me?

Although it is a little bit improper,

But more money.

Never mind forget what I said.

You need to study by yourself,you must write the paper as well.

You don't know,nowadays you don't have to study in person.

People can still graduate!

So all you have to do everyday is have fun and buy stuff.

You don't need to do anything else in person,right?

So difficult to talk to good students.

I kneel down and beg you stop talking.I have work to do.

Remember to participate tomorrow,OK?

I'll try my best.

Have you had dinner yet?I will buy you dinner.

I wish you will forget meals and sleep.See you.

So can I keep coming back for you?

OK,see you.

- You are back. -Dad.
