Hidden Love (2023): Season 1, Episode 10 - Joke. Give Me a Reason to Forget - full transcript

ADAPTED FROM THE NOVEL
HIDDEN LOVE BY ZHU YI

Are you done?

I'm going to wash the towel.

Why didn't he give me a heads-up

before he opened his eyes?

He could've said,

"I'm going to open my eyes,"

and then opened them.

He suddenly opened them.

What the heck?

He gave me a scare.



Are you done?

Jiaxu.

I think you should get some rest.

Leave work for tomorrow.

Okay, in a bit.

Sorry, Sang Zhi.

You came all this way to suffer with me.

I don't mind.

Don't move.

I can handle it.

I'll turn the lights off.

Okay.

Here.

Use this pillow.



My clothes are over there.

Cover yourself with them

so you don't get cold.

Let's sleep.

WEIWEI

THE OTHER PARTY HAS CANCELED

DORM 202 GIRLS' GROUP

SANGSANG, ARE YOU OKAY?

CONTACT US WHEN YOU SEE THIS.

SANGSANG, ARE YOU OKAY?

I'M HERE

I have a brother…

I have a relative

who is ill.

I won't be coming back tonight.

Don't worry about me.

JIANG MING

Sang Zhi, I'm outside the theater.

Are you here yet?

You can't sleep?

Do you need to finish listening
to the voice message?

Jiaxu, why did you pretend to be asleep?

I was just quiet.

I didn't pretend to be asleep.

That is pretending to be asleep.

You were even eavesdropping.

Eavesdropping?

You're the one who played the message.

You're making false claims
at such a young age.

I'm not talking to you anymore.

I'm going to sleep. Good night.

Can you fall asleep?

It's time for bed either way.

Come on.

Chat with me.

About what?

Finish playing that voice message.

Let me see

who wants to ask you out to a movie.

You don't know him.

I will once you tell me about him.

I'll judge him for you.

Why? We're just going to the movies.

I'm just worried you're naïve
and might get played.

Well, I could spend all night

talking about guys.

There are so many of them.

Our Sang Zhi is so popular.

It's because I'm pretty.

Why isn't he saying anything?

Jiaxu.

Look.

People your age should be asleep

at this hour.

Don't always try to pry
into the lives of young people.

You don't understand our world.

You won't get it

even if I tell you about it.

Fine.

I don't know anything.

It's all done.

Thank you, Sang Zhi.

Jiaxu, I'm going to class.

Let me know if you need anything.

I'll bring it tonight.

Perfect.

Go to my place

and get my laptop from my study.

The keys are in my jacket pocket.

I'll send you the address later.

What do you need the laptop for?

For work, of course.

But you're ill.

You should focus on resting.

Even if you do your work now,

your boss won't pay you extra.

It's too bad. I live for tech.

Got it.

But I still won't bring the laptop over.

I'll take care of the rest.

What's wrong?

Hearing you lecture me

makes me realize

that our Sang Zhi has grown up.

I am a grown-up.

I'm not a kid anymore.

Did you just realize that?

I'm off.

CHAPTER TEN, JOKE

GIVE ME A REASON TO FORGET

I'm here. Where are you?

Here.

I see you.

Good morning, students.

We meet again.

Where were you?

I can't believe you.

I brought you breakfast.

Eat it later.

Thank you.

How is your relative?

He's done with his surgery.

I think

he should be discharged in a few days.

I'll visit him after class.

Again?

Are you going to accompany him?

Well, I have to do it.

I'm also in Yihe.

I can't push it off to someone else.

Jiang Ming was disappointed
that you didn't show up

and kept asking about you.

Chen Qiang told me about the tickets.

-They--
-Ning Wei.

Okay, the homework I assigned last week
is due today.

Have you completed it?

The tickets were hard to get.

Two, two, three, four.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Three, two, three, four.

-Sang Zhi!
-Five, six, seven, eight.

Four, two, three, four.

Five, six, seven. Stop.

Good morning.

You have sharp eyes.

Right, why didn't you join us

for the movie yesterday?

My relative suddenly fell ill yesterday.

I was taking care of him at the hospital.

Is he all right now?

He's fine now.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it.

But we can catch a movie some other time

when you're free.

Sure.

I'm free next weekend.

Well,

I'll treat you to a movie next weekend.

Okay, then I'll see you next weekend.

Yes. I'm going to warm up now.

-Bye.
-Bye.

122 ABNORMALITIES

67.5 ABNORMALITIES

Then the characters are projected

-and the whole scene will--
-Hold on.

Hello, Jiaxu?

Hi, Siyun.

The logic in this part is too wordy.

The program won't run.

I don't have a computer with me right now.

Can you have someone

bring me one from the office?

I'll code this bit.

It's okay.

Focus on recovering.

I'll have them handle
the other parts first.

It's fine.

I have nothing to do here anyway.

Jiaxu.

If your wound opens up again,

who is going to work for me?

Rest well.

JIANG YING

VOICE MESSAGE FROM JIANG YING

I'm sorry.

I know I was too emotional.

I'm sorry. I really will change this time.

I will control myself from now on.

Number 158.

Both of you look at the camera.

This must be his mom.

Nice to meet you.

I am Sang Zhi.

I think

he will need underwear.

Wait!

I'm going inside.

Thank you.

Jiaxu, it's me, Jiang Ying.

Jiaxu?

Jiaxu, are you home?

Open up!

Jiaxu.

You're here.

I didn't know you were in the bathroom.

It's okay. I can do it myself.

An old man has occupied the other bed.

He went downstairs for a stroll.

Hot water.

-Thank you.
-Careful, it's hot.

You brought a lot of stuff.

It's not that much.

Two sets of clothes.

One is for when you're discharged.

The other can keep you…

Also,

I brought the stuff you wanted.

Thank you.

Jiaxu.

Don't stay up too late working.

You're still recovering.

Okay, I promise you.

Screens off at 10:00 p.m. sharp.

One hour left.

Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Have you eaten?

-Here.
-Sit.

Not yet. I'll have dinner later.

Not yet?

-Sit.
-It's already past eight.

I'm not hungry yet.

Stop putting away things.
Go and eat dinner.

In a bit.

I'll order delivery for you.

I went to get your things

right after I finished class.

I haven't even sat down yet,

but you keep telling me to eat.

Why do you keep telling me to eat?

Boy,

is this your wife?

Sir.

How did you come to the conclusion
that she is my wife?

She's beautiful.

-Here, Dad.
-Okay.

Thank you.

Sir,

this is my sister,

not my wife.

I know your wife is pretty.

Sorry,

my dad is hard of hearing.

Dad, that's his sister,

not his wife.

A brother cannot marry his sister.

Are you two not married yet?

Boy,

you don't look young anymore.

Why aren't you married yet?

Don't keep the young lady waiting.

Sir.

Please stop making me laugh.

I have a wound on my stomach.

Boy, I'm not joking.

You need to get a move on.

Your wife is pretty

and so caring.

Look at her

carrying all these bags here.

You must cherish her

or else, you'll regret it later.

Okay, I understand.

He has poor hearing.

Don't mind him.

Just think of it as a joke.

A joke?

You shouldn't joke about these things.

Sir.

He is not my partner.

He is too old

to be my partner.

He is old enough to be my dad.

It's great to be a dad!

Once you two get married,

hurry up and have a child.

You'll settle down.

That is more important than anything.

I'm going to go eat.

Eat more.

Order more.

Why is your wife leaving?

My wife is going to eat.

To dinner.

That's not something to joke about.

Jiaxu.

Good morning.

Don't tell me you worked all night.

I shouldn't have brought you the laptop.

Jiaxu.

You've been hospitalized.

Why won't you just rest?

Do you really think you are Superman?

You've discovered my hidden identity.

What hidden identity?

How could you stay up all night?

Are you having a lovers' spat so early?

When is the wedding?

Sir,

we're not like that.

We're not getting married.

Are you not getting married?

That won't do!

She's a beautiful girl

and she is taking care of you.

How can you do this to her?

Okay, we'll do as you say.

We'll get married.

That's more like it.

You two are a perfect match.

You will be happy together.

I'll get you some water.

Sir, she's too young.

She's not of legal age yet.

-Stop this joke.
-Maybe in two years.

OUTPATIENT BUILDING

Are you discharged?

That's right, sir.

Please rest well and recover soon.

All right. You two get along now, okay?

-Sir.
-We will, sir.

We'll get married soon.

That's good!

Get well soon.

Take care of each other.

-Get along.
-Let's go.

We're leaving, sir.

Stay together.

"We'll get married soon"?

You're the one who started this joke.

-I'll get that.
-I've told you.

I'll carry it.

Are you really upset?

Don't make jokes like that anymore.

Well,

I've been in the hospital for so long.

I was bored.

I apologize.

Does being bored make it okay

to make jokes at my expense?

You're unbelievable.

You can wear my slippers.

I'll take that.

It's okay. I've got it.

Take a seat.

What do you want to drink?

I'm fine.

No need to tidy up.

I'll do it later.

Let's have dinner together later.

I'll see you off after that.

I'm going to use the bathroom.

When I heard your brother say

that you were coming here for university,

I was really happy.

The feelings that I've been hiding

for the past two years

probably

don't mean the same to him.

How old can you be?

You're still a kid.

Come when you don't have classes.

I'm an adult.

Don't trouble yourself for me.

Sir, she's too young.

She's not of legal age yet.

Maybe in two years.

He has poor hearing.

Don't mind him.

Just think of it as a joke.

Maybe in his heart,

we'll never be anything
more than brother and sister.

That's why he can make jokes like that.

TAKE THE MEDICINE ON TIME

TAKE THE MEDICINE ON TIME

What are you writing?

Jiaxu.

You need to pay attention to your diet.

You can't have milk or eggs.

But you can eat foods high in fiber

to promote digestion.

Also, try not to sit for too long

while you work.

Get up and walk around for a bit.

But no strenuous exercise.

Don't carry heavy items either.

And…

No staying up late.

I know. Take a break.

Stay home and recuperate
for the time being.

If there is anything you need to buy,

you can tell me.

I'll get them for you.

After this,

I have a lot of assignments to complete.

I need to go back and work on them,

so I might not be coming over as often.

One more thing.

You…

I want to treat you to a meal.

We can wait

until you have recovered.

You don't have to do that.

I should be the one treating you now.

Okay.

We'll talk about it later.

I'm leaving.

I'll send you off.

It's okay, Jiaxu.

-I'll go by myself.
-I'll take you to the metro.

You don't have to do that.

I can go back on my own.

Bye, Jiaxu.

This is fine.

After all,

I'm just his little sister.

THE DREAM GAMES

So is that what happened?

I think she might really be upset.

But I can't figure out

the reason.

What's the big deal?

All you did was make a few jokes

to go along with that old man.

Siyun, what do you think?

What goes on in men's heads?

She's a girl.

It's normal for a girl to be upset.

Think about it.

You said she has always been prideful

and thin-skinned.

You joked about her relationship status.

Of course she would be mad.

You even said

she had a boy she liked.

That would surely make her even angrier.

I'm not the one who made the joke.

It was that old man.

She's taking it out on me.

You're clearly an accomplice.

She took care of you.

But you and the old man joked about her.

You're lucky she took care of you

until you were discharged.

I only wanted to indulge the old man.

It's all the same to her. All right?

Let me interrupt you guys.

Did you call Siyun and me over

just because of this problem?

This is such a petty matter.

I thought you had

actual relationship problems.

You had best pray that I don't.

Who else will help you
with the game expansion?

Well, thank you.

How about this?

Find some time

and take her out for a meal.

Talk things through with her

and it should be fine.

Also, you should be more careful.

She's an adult now.

You can't joke
about everything like before.

Got it.

Siyun is right.

End of counseling.

Get back to work.

I'll get it for you, honey.

Are you…

JIANG YING

Hello?

I told you not to contact me anymore.

Jiaxu, let's meet up.

I called you, but you--

I've told you.

Let's not stay in touch anymore.

So are you just going to abandon me?

Duan Jiaxu.

I'm busy. I'm hanging up.

JIANG YING

Do you want some more?

Are you scared?

No, I love this.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were afraid of chickens.

It's okay.

I'm not afraid of anything

except for animals with sharp beaks.

I see.

It was really big.

Do you need to wipe your sweat?

I'll use the restroom.

Okay.
