You finally did one good deed.
You know the importance of love.
Love...
Without her,
I don't want love anymore
in case 
I will never forget her all my lives.
I pawn my love
for her lifelong happiness.
Can't I forget her?
What is pawning away love, anyways?


Why isn't he going to work yet?
I made a hair-wash appointment.
I can't just leave him alone here.
She complains if I go to work,
and she complains if I don't go to work.
What did you say?
Su Ting...
Do you love me?
We are...
We are married.
Of course we have feelings for each other.
Do you love me?
What's wrong with you today?
You're not going to work?
I don't want to go to work.
What do you think about me doing business?
Doing business?
Besides computers,
I don't know if you can do anything.
It's true.
What can I do besides computers?
Huh?



Boss!
Aiyo, boss,
what are you doing sitting here?
The video conference is starting soon.
America's NNO is already on standby.
Quick, quick, quick.
Let's go... You're late.
Boss!
Stop joking around.
Let's go. You're late.
I'm begging you, alright?
Go quickly. You're late!
I'll help you take that.
Hurry, hurry, go, go.
Your boss is already waiting.
You obviously already finished
the research on nervous system network.
NNO asked you about
the shape-determination program,
and you actually said you don't know.
What are you up to?
I...
It's great now.
They're blaming us
for purposefully tricking them,
and they want to cancel this partnership.
What do you get out of this, anyways?
Tell me,
what are you getting out of this?
I've asked NNO.
They're not recruiting you.
If you have another plan,
just tell us openly.
You don't need to play tricks like this.



Why?
Why did I suddenly become so stupid?
Why? Why?
Boss!
Boss, boss...
Did the power cut off on the main terminal?
What main terminal?
Right, right, right...
I... I think I've fixed it.
Boss, are you sick?
Sick?
Yes.
I... I'm sick.
I... I'm going home.
Boss...
Big boss wants you take some time off.
It's...
You keep the job, but lose the salary.
What does that mean?
It means...
If you still answer you don't know
to all the questions,
you don't need to come to work.




Give these two Pawnshop No. 8's
to those two misses over there.
God...
How did I know
I was going to get so drunk that day?
What did you tell your boss anyways?
I just can't remember.
I don't remember what I said at all.
Aiya... Anyways... I seem to have said...
I seem to have said something like I love him.
Huh?
See?
You don't think I should've said it, either, right?
I'm being envious of you.
What are you envious about now?
To be able to something like that
is a kind of happiness.
This means you love this person deeply.
That you...
That you always think about him, worry about him,
and you have hopes for him.
Even if that person doesn't know,
it still counts as a kind of happiness?
At least, I think so.
But doesn't Lin Xian Tang know everything
that you are thinking about now?
Yes.
He definitely changed a lot lately.
He know everything I'm thinking.
It's true I'm not as lonely as before.
But...
But you think this is still not enough?
Even though my life is no longer lonely,
but the emptiness I feel
becomes greater by the day.
I don't understand.
Our likes and hobbies,
lifestyle,
and even values and philosophy...
They are all very different.
These differences are very difficult to get along with.
But he doesn't have anything
to pawn anymore.
You said pawn what?
Oh, I meant...
I said...
I said that he's already beginning to understand you.
You still feel empty inside?
Before, I often blamed him for not spending time with me,
that he doesn't understand me,
that he's unwilling to put some effort into living life.
I forced myself to keep living with him
for the sake of the marriage
and for the appearance of happiness.
But now,
not only does he understand my thoughts,
he's even willing to put aside his job
just so
I can live happily.
When I can't blame anything anymore...
When I have no more reason to force myself...
It's actually made me understand.
Understand what?
We really aren't suited for each other.
I don't love him,
and I can't make myself to love him.



You're back.
You're not resting yet...
Waiting for me?
If you were looking for me,
you can find me anytime.
I didn't want you to come back.
I just wanted to make sure
that you're safe.
Oh.
Um... That night when I got drunk,
you took me back to my room, right?
What did I say while drunk?
Since you know you were drunk,
does it matter what you said?
Just tell me.
What did I say, really?
You said a lot,
but you were slurring.
I didn't hear clearly,
but I'm very certain about one thing.
What?
You have very low alcohol tolerance.
Don't drink so much anymore.
I already told the kitchen
to prepare some light midnight snack.
I'll have them bring it to your room a bit later.
Sometimes careless...
Sometimes so detailed...
Do you love me or not?




How come you can never come back
clean and well-dressed?
I walked a lot so I'm really tired.
You know everything I'm thinking.
I'll get you a cup of tea.
No, no...
No need. No need.
What's wrong with you?
I quit work.
Is somebody recruiting you?
No.
I'm never touching computers again.
I'm changing careers.
How come he's been so weird lately?
How am I weird?
Tell me, how am I weird?
You won't say, but I know what you're thinking.
Tell me,
how am I weird?
What's wrong... with you?
Is there a problem with the research?
How can there be a problem with my research?
Who told you that?
Nobody told me.
I care about you.
You lie!
You never cared about my research.
Of cousre I care.
You're lying.
I know what you are thinking.
Now, it's like you wanted.
I don't understand computers anymore,
and I don't have to do research anymore.
I don't even have a job anymore.
I have tons of time now.
I can stay spend all day at home.
I spend all day with you.
You're content now.
You're satisfied.
You're happy now.
What are you saying, really?
You don't understand what I'm saying?
Then you can try your best to understand,
just like what I did for you.
I did my best to understand you.
Lin Xian Tang.
What really happened to you today?
You said that you lost your job or something.
What happened, really?
You always ask me to understand you.
Do you understand me?
Did you know that how important
those research were to me?
Did you ever care?
Did you ever think about it?
You didn't. You didn't!
You don't feel that is my pride.
You don't feel that is my success.
You can't share it with me,
but you keep on asking me
to understand everything about you.
I did it.
I did everything for you.
To keep you,
I even dealt with the devil.
And you're still not satisfied.
You're still being picky.
Why? Why?!
I didn't ask you to change for me.
And no matter how you change,
you're still not the type I like.
Then, change the type that you like,
and don't change me.
Let me tell you,
you shouldn't have married me at all.
You shouldn't have married me at all!
Xian Tang...
No matter how you change,
you still won't be the type I like.
How could I have said something like that?
How could I have hurt him like that?



No matter...
Who is sad and hurt by love...
No matter...
Who makes who fragile...
Don't give up.
There are many people without computer talent.
But they all live very good lives.
No matter what you lost,
if you lost it,
you should let go of it.
What's important is what you have now.
I have...
I have nothing at all now.
Of course you do.
Mr. Lin,
you have a comfortable, beautiful family.
You have a wife who loves you.
You paid such a high price,
and sacrificed so much in exchange for it.
How can you say you don't have anything?
You really don't understand.
I don't understand...
I don't understand your pain at losing your talent?
How do you know?
Know that you've been to Pawnshop No. 8?
So, you can't say I don't understand you.
Right, Mr. Lin?
You're willing to use your talent
to exchange for the power to understand Su Ting.
This means in your heart, Su Ting
is more important than your work.
Since you paid such a high price,
even if you meet some obstacles right now,
you should still endure
and value what you have now.
What...
What do I have now?
It's true.
I have the power to understand Su Ting now,
but that doesn't mean I have...
I have to power to change myself.
I'm still me.
Do you understand?
I really do understand Su Ting now,
that she doesn't love men like me anymore.
She likes elegant,
stylish, charming men.
She doesn't like men like me, without taste,
who doesn't know how to live life.
Do you know? Do you know?
You don't have to change immediately.
You can match each other slowly.
You have a lot of time.
No!
This isn't about time.
It's about the heart.
I can never become
that kind of men she likes.
Besides, I don't want to change at all.
I only know how to be myself.
I can only be myself, do you understand?
Do you understand?
Then, think of a way to have Su Ting accept you.
I... I don't want to spend anymore energy.
I'm so tired!
Besides,
if I can't even be myself,
what's the point of changing her?
I don't want to live this kind of life anymore.
Alright.
Don't think about the past anymore.
Everything starts anew now.
I... I...
I don't know what use I am anymore.
You mustn't think like that.
You have four useful limbs, and your intellect is good.
You have a very good future.
No.
I'm going to Pawnshop No. 8 to get back my talent.
I want absolutely everything to be like before.
You can't go.
You don't have anything
to exchange anymore.
If you go,
you can only pawn your soul.
That's the road of no return.
Do you understand?
You can't keep on making mistakes.
You're not me.
You don't understand my pain.
Stop being so rash.
We can work at whatever problem together.
Stop telling me what to do,
and that would be helping me.


Lin Xian Tang?
How come he's coming again?




Doctor Bai,
you said you saw Xian Tang?
How was it?
I did see him.
Did you know that how much he sacrificed
in order to understand you?
Sacrificed?
You mean his research?
That is only part of it.
Yes, I know.
He's been working very hard
to get along with me lately.
He even temporarily put down
his research job.
He really is very good to me,
and I am very grateful to his thoughtfulness.
Only...
Only, you're still unsatisfied.
No, I'm not unsatisfied.
I'm...
I guess it counts as unsatisfied.
Love
isn't the entirety of marriage.
It's only the key to opening
the door to marriage.
Besides love, in a marriage, there is also
trust, understanding,
dependency, caring,
unconditional sacrifice and giving.
You're husband did it.
What about you?
I...
I know I shouldn't hurt him.
I regret it a lot, now, too.
I'll go find him right now.
Su Ting...
If your husband became disabled or fatally ill,
can you follow your marraige vow,
and sincerely take care of your husband your whole lives?
That is the responsibility and promise
to gave to each other.
If the one disabled or ill is you,
I believe
your husband definitely wouldn't leave you.




I want to get my talent back.
You don't want to understand Su Ting anymore?
No, no,
no, I don't.
Right now, I only want to be myself again.
Alright.
You want to exchange, fine.
Then, say,
what do you have to pawn
that's worth more than your talent?
I... I...
How about using Su Ting's happiness to exchange for it?
I can't give her
the happiness she wants.
I don't even know
whether she has happiness or not.
There's nothing more to be said about this deal.
I can do it.
Boss!
Use your hearing to exchange for it.



Don't talk to me about politeness or anything.
I admit
that I'm not polite.
Why did you let Lin Xian Tang do that?
Him and his wife finally got along together.
Now, it's back to the original situation again.
Isn't everything back to square one again?
You just can't stand to let them be happily married?
If they were happily married,
why would Lin Xian Tang regret it?
Understanding takes time.
People get together because of misunderstandings,
and separate because of understanding.
You should have heard this saying before.
So what?
What follows
after understanding
is mostly... enlightenment.
Alright.
Even if it weren't about them,
today's deal is against the rules.
And it was seriously against the rules.
How can Lin Xian Tang's hearing
be compared to his talent?
Don't worry,
just right it as it is.
You're really unreasonable!



Xian Tang, you're back.
I'm sorry.
I only said those things out of anger.
Don't mind them, okay?
I can't hear her talking.
I... I really am deaf.
Why?
I really am deaf.
Xian Tang...
No matter what happens from now on,
you can tell me.
I'll listen to you.
Honestly.
You don't have to say anymore. You don't have to say anymore.
I know
that you're very disappointed in me.
You're also very disappointed in our marriage.
I'm not your ideal husband.
I can never become the type
you like in this life.
That's not true.
I know that there are some problems to our marriage.
- But... - No matter what you say...
No matter what you say...
No matter how you see
our marriage...
But...
I'm willing to sacrifice everything
to protect this home,
to protect this family.
I really value them.
I really value them!
I paid a very, very high price,
wanting to understand your thoughts.
Now, I finally understand...
I finally really understand that you don't love me anymore.
I understand it now,
and I accept this fact, too.
If you still want a divorce,
I really will accept it.
I really will accept it.


[Divorce Papers]


Eat breakfast first before you go to work.
I know you're not happy.
So, I already...
We can, at any time...

[Divorce Papers]


You're really something.
The conditions NNO gave us this time
are even better than last time's.
I said...
As soon as this contract is signed,
I'll give you 5% bonus.




Are you going to sign it?
Are you going to sign it?
I won't sign it.
Then, Mr. Lin insisted on it?
I don't know, either.
I thinks that I'm unhappy.
From what he said,
it sounds he like he wants me to be happy.
Then, don't sign it.
Can I?
Of course.
Not only you can,
you should.
A marriage has always been
something maintained by both the husband and wife.
As long as one side is willing to work for it,
there is a chance to save it.
Are you willing to work for it?
Of course.
Why?
Love can be full of fantasies.
But marriage...
Xian Tang is really working very hard
to maintain our marriage.
It's my fault.
I'm not mature enough.
Since fate let us get married,
I should think more about his good points,
and not his faults.
He really is very good to me.
I should be satisfied.
You really do understand
how to keep your marriage now.
Su Ting,
you're marriage doesn't have any problems.
Really?
Yes.
Is Mr. Lin's work going alright?
It's just like before.
He won't be back before very late into the night.
Maybe he's worried about bothering me.
Lately, he would text me,
and tell me when he'd be back.
Then his situation at work
is still like before?
Yes.
Tonight,
I can ask him
to go out to dinner with me.
And then rip up this divorce paper.
That's great,
and very romantic.
Su Ting,
you should really value
everything that you have now.
Yes.




Boss,
I could hear the phone even from the hallway.
You just don't want to answer it, right?
Hello?
Mrs. Lin? This is Ah Liang.
Boss? He's here.
Hold on.
Your wife's phone call.
Your wife's phone call.
From my wife?
Yes.
Hello? I can't hear clearly.
It's very noisy here.
Why don't you text me?
Noisy?
Who's noisy?



Xian Tang,
do you have time this afternoon at 5?
I have something to tell you.
Sigh...
She must be wanting to talk about divorce. Sigh...

Aren't roses a bit too garish?
I wish they were lilies.



Marriage has always been
something maintained by both husband and wife.
As long as one side is willing to work for it,
there is a chance to save it.
Are you willing to work for it?
Of course.
Wife!
These are your favorite lilies?
Are they pretty?
Yes, I like them.
This is him working very hard
to keep our marriage.
It's my fault.
I'm not mature enough.
Since fate let us get married,
I should think more about his good points,
instead of his faults.
He really is very good to me.
I should be satisfied.
Wife!
Xian Tang!
I can't hear what she's saying.
I really can't hear!
How about using Su Ting's happiness in exchange?
I can't give her
the happiness she wants.
I... I don't even know
whether she has happiness or not.
No matter how you see
our marriage...
But...
I will sacrifice everything to protect this home,
to protect this family.
I really value them.
I really value them!
I paid a very, very high price
to understand your thoughts.
I finally understand now.
I really understand
that you don't love me anymore.
To keep you,
I even dealt with the devil.
You're still not satisfied.
You're still being picky.
Why? Why?!
Use your hearing in exchange.
Sorry, wife.
The flowers you like were crushed.
It's okay.
Xian Tang!
Xian Tang...
Xian Tang... Xian Tang...
Wife...
I love you.
I don't want to... leave you.
No!
I really don't want to leave...
Xian Tang, Xian Tang...
Xian Tang! Xian Tang...
Xian Tang, don't leave me!



You knew Lin Xian Tang would die, right?
Whether he gets his talent back or not,
he only had 10 days left to live.
That's why... you agreed to it.
Sorry, boss.
I take back what I said that day.
I blamed you wrongly.
You're still the Han Nuo that I know.
You're still impassive boss with a soft heart.
