Is it because your memories don't count?
The sky was so blue.
The people remembered that the old sea was not far away
to go. The people back then were pure, naive and
non-partisan to their single belief or their lovers.
They were willing to sacrifice their lives or even willing to die.
Who can give me an answer?
Sister is no longer around.
Can you give me some of her love you gave to her to me?
I'm willing to work hard for her share.
and find us back together.
I'm sorry, Ke Xing.
The sunset we saw while sitting on the sampan
was so beautiful.
That sunset was really beautiful.
I will never ever forget it.
If he said he will never ever forget it,
then I'm sure this will be the key to his lost memories.
(Ancient City).As long as his memories still exist,
what should not be lost will not be lost.

Episode 8.
Boss, I'm sorry. I'd like to ask where is the sampan around this area?
It has been filled up to a land.
There are no more sampans.
If Xiang Shu Lei's memories can vanish into thin air
and does not count as anything, yet I kept chasing after his lost memories.
Even if he remembers,
will the memory of my sister come back?
I'm so annoyed!
Who can give me an answer?!
Nobody understands me!
I'll continue searching.
Hi, mom.
Are you busy?
Not really. What's the matter?
Nothing much. I just miss my daughter.
Xin Ni. Do you have a boyfriend?
Why are you asking that?
I'm worried for your happiness.
If you meet a nice guy, hurry up and get married.
You're already thirty years old. Aren't you worried?
Alright, I have a client. Goodbye.
Ah Kai, what is the progress on the proposal for Judas land acquisition?
I will submit it to you before I knock off.
and John, for the information on landowners of those specific regions,
remember to print a copy for everyone before the meeting tomorrow morning.
Command this and that, are you afraid that no one knows you're one of the big guns over here?
Hello?
Sister Xin Ni, you have a speed delivery parcel.
Alright, I'll go get it.
Ah Kai.
Look, we have a pile of work to do again.
As if we're not busy enough. I guess our gathering dinner has to have to be cancelled tonight.
Just put it over there.
Okay.
Can I ask...this time it must be gift from Boss Zhang.
How do you know?
Only Boss Zhang will send orchids to her.
Boss Zhang said Sister Xin Ni is like an orchid,
elegant and beautiful.
He even said that there's a faint scent of loneliness and pride in her.
Then who sent her those flowers in the morning?
Who cares who sent it? Anyways, It's another victim that's willing to buy a pig in poke again.
You can't say that. Let me tell you.
Last time I picked up the card of the flower for Xin Ni, do you know whose name was signed on it?
Who was it?
The eldest son of Sheng Da Cement Corporation.
I know. He was the man who abuses his wife.
Anyway, Sister Xin Ni accepts any flowers that are delivered to her.
That's disgusting.
Mark, this is the analysis report of real estate's customer profile. Please take a look at it.
Thank you.
What's wrong? Do you have something else?
I don't know if I should say it...
It's okay, just say it.
I feel that the relationship between Sister Xin Ni and her clients are
rather complicated.
I'm worried that her private life might affect the company's reputation.
What do you mean by that?
You may not know that Dong Xin Ni's reputation in the industry is not so good.
There must be a reason why she has so many cases.
In fact, many of her clients already have their own family.
Of course, that's her private life.
But I feel that...it will affect the company's reputation more or less.
I just feel that CEO Cheng has just hand over the company to you,
and then we have to immediately to start working on the Judas Plan...
So I was thinking if you could temporary (dismiss) Dong Xin Ni...
Have you finished talking?
Mark. I'm not trying to tell tales about Sister Xin Ni. Please do not misunderstand.
I'm just thinking for the company's sake.
Thinking for the company's sake? Then you should complete your job
and not utter nonsense here.
Do you know that I chose her because of her capability
and not her private life.
If you're so concerned about Xin Ni's private life and her, making friends,
it only proves that you're ignorant and incapable. Do you get it?
Yes.
If there's nothing else, you may leave.
I don't want to hear any gossip of Xin Ni coming out from your mouth.
Before you think you're much more capable, priotise your time on your work.
Yes.
The core acquisition of “Joy of Reading bookstore” is added in this proposal.
Please take a look.
I heard some things about you. I'm not sure if you want to hear it.
In fact, the only thing I care about is your key performance indicator.
Since someone deliberately came to report to me about you, I feel that you should settle it yourself.
I never respond to rumours.
If it has brought any disturbance to you, I'm extremely sorry.
But I would like to emphasis again that capability is proven through results.
I will definitely not disappoint you.
That's not you.
Don't you always fight for your standpoint and defend the result of your hard work?
Why is it that only for this matter, you would rather live in the misunderstandings of others?
Actually all these years, there were so many people saying that I seduced married men to obtain today's achievement.
There's so many that I couldn't even count. So why should I explain?
But why did you accept those things that you didn't do?
Because I know that I will never commit such mistakes.
I have a very good friend and
she went missing.
She said she's going up to the moutains for a breather. But she didn't come back since then.
Missing...
is something even scarier than death.
Because you don't even know why she left.
And you don't even know where she went.
All these pain was caused by a betrayal.
Are you alright?
I'm alright.
You must be shocked.
You should go u and have an early rest.
I'll sleep here tonight.
Or are you afraid if I sleep here?
That betrayer and my friend's boyfriend betrayed her together.
A new home's gift.
Thank you.
Where's Ke Jie?
She send a message saying that she met an old friend while hiking
and will be staying over for a night there.
Then...another day perhaps? We'll treat you lunch another day.
But I prepared a table for food. I can't finish it alone.
Why not...eat together?
I can only say that Du Ke Jie must have poisoned me.
I gave up a whole forest for her
and yet she's like clouds, floating about.
I can never catch hold of her. Don't you think she's being a bit too overboard?
If Ke Jie's like clouds, then what am I?
You're like a lake.
Although you looked very calm,
but with only a rock, it can stir your heart.
Don't be too forceful.
A woman needs a man's protection.
Ke Jie.
You have no idea how much I hate that betrayer.
Because of her, I never receive a message from my friend ever again.
Because of her, my friend's family is living in agony.
I will never forgive her.
If it's possible, I will even hope that
by using the cruelest method to punish that betrayer.
I can feel the pain you have for the betrayer.
That's right. Since I know I will never become someone like that,
no matter how much rumours there are about me, will never hurt me.
Rather than to explain to a hundred of people who misunderstands you,
why not just prove yourself to a person who understands you?
I made the right choice, indeed.
Don't worry. I trust your capabilities.
However I still have some things to say to you.
Even though I would not make a comment on your private life,
I can feel that you are deliberately living in others' misunderstandings.
As humans, the people we have to go against are not our enemies
but ourselves.
I know you have a lot of resentments in your past.
But will you find an answer by living in resentments?
Not everything has an answer.
Are there no answers or you dare not find them?
If you really want pasts to be past,
then you should find the answers.
But before you find a solution, please fire your team member, John.
I reject.
Like you, I also value capability and not actions.
I'm willing to give him a second chance, just like how CEO Cheng and you gave a chance to me.
I will not fire my subordinate without a valid reason.
You're right. Then you'll decide on your own.
I'll be leaving first.
Shu Lei!
♫ Three years ago, we were just strangers on the road. ♫
♫ There're no worldly emotions ♫
Shu Lei!
I finally get to see you.
I went to a bakery earlier on and got your favourite cheese cake.
♫ We went from lovers, to family, then strangers in the end. ♫
♫ I took a long detour and got to see our journey thus far. ♫
♫ Returning to the start left me so full of emotions. ♫
♫ I don't want to be the nice guy with a reluctant smile. ♫
Dong Xin Ni, you disgust me a lot.
I betrayed Ke Jie once and I regretted it.
And yet you want to continue to betray her for life.
I don't wish to see you a gain.
♫ I don't want to be like a good person, reluctant to part with you ♫
♫ I'll be like a transparent lover and hold you in my arms ♫
♫ All because our love felt too real, it still exists even though it's long gone ♫
♫ An emotion-filled love song ♫
If you really want pasts to be past, then you should find♫ A pain-filled emotion ♫
an answer to your question.
Will I be able to find an answer
if I go back again?
(Joy of Reading Bookstore)
Sister Xin Ni!
Here. Thank you, Sister Xin Ni. You came down specially to see me.
Not at all, I've been here lately for work.
I was thinking if I should stop by to see your working environment.
That...where's Xiang Shu Lei?
He left a note saying that he's going to Hualian. He will be back at night.
Boss Yang, you've finished collecting books?
You finished slaughtering pigs?
Yes...sorry, I'm in a rush. I have to make deliveries.
-I'll go first.-Drive safely.
-How is it?-Are you used to it here?
Yes, besides carrying big piles of books,
everything else is fine.
(Best short stories of Leo Tolstoy)
Hey, busy man. You're late again.
This time, you'll pay the bills.
I got it.
Sister Xin Ni?
-What's wrong?-I thought of Ke Jie.
Last time...she likes to read her books at a cafe.
Because I'm busy all the time, I'm often late.
And she said she likes me to be late the best.
Because she can use the time while waiting to read her books.
And in order to compensate her, I'll offer to pay the bills.
Sister Xin Ni, thank you.
For?
After I knew Xiang Shu Lei,
I came to know that I'm actually a very lousy sister.
I always felt that I couldn't get into my sister's world last time.
But now, I came to realise that I was not willing to get in.
But thankfully, my sister has a good friend like you.
So, thank you. Thank you for accompany her.
The other time you said Xiang Shu Lei...
Oh right, it's that book shelf!
I'm referring to this book shelf, Xiang Shu Lei anyhow arranged it.
I also don't know what's the meaning behind it.
I really don't know.
Why is Zhang Ai Ling and Hai Ming Wei put together?
The first Chinese version of "The Old Man and the Sea) was translated by Eileen Chang.
-You...-Sorry, is...
It's her again?
Who is that?
She is a teacher who has a crush on Xiang Shu Lei.
Ke Xin, then you should get busy. I'll go first.
Bye bye.
Teacher Chen, what's the matter?
I'm looking for your boss.
Hey! Do you have Eileen Chang's "Love in a Fallen City"?
What is it?
Surely not...
Who said that a career woman doesn't have the heart of a little girl? (Referring to her being interested in love novels.)
I'm sorry.
In the third level, third level, the one beside "The Old Man and the Sea".
Okay. You're so fierce!
You put translated book together with pure literature?
Why don't you put the books in order? You just anyhow arrange!
There's a logic behind it, okay?
Okay. Then tell me what's the logic behind Eileen Chang and Ernest Hemingway?
You don't know about this right?
Eileen Chang is the first author that translated Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" into Chinese.
The things that "Love in a Fallen City" and "The Old Man and the Sea" talk about are actually a kind of...
a kind of resistance.
Resistance against the nature,
and also a kind of resistance against loneliness and frustrations.
- As for "Love in a Fallen City"- Hey, okay!
Okay, okay... don't spoil me, I will read it myself!
You were the one who asked me!
How could the way he arranged the book similar to how Ke Jie arrange her books?
(Joy of Reading Bookstore)
Hey! Hey! You knocked over me, compensate me!
What are you staring at? Where are you looking at?
It's very painful!
Don't you hear me? Are you deaf?
Open the door, come out!
You don't make compensation when you knocked over someone?
Don't you hear me? It's very painful!
My leg is broken! Hey!
Don't you hear me?
Why are you still staring?
What are you staring at? Come out!
My leg is broken! Don't you hear me?
- Are you alright?- Don't you hear me? Come out!
What are you staring at? Come out!
Don't you need to apologize after knocking over someone?
Don't you hear me?
Are you alright?
Hey! You two, what are you guys doing?
I'm wounded, don't you need to compensate me?
I'm sorry. I was distracted, I didn't see you.
- Let me call an ambulance for you, wait for a while. - Wait!
Which leg did you get hit over?
Can't you see it? Of course it's my right leg.
What are you doing?
It seems to be very agile, like nothing happened.
Are you guys hooligans? It's that miss who knocked over me with her car in the first place.
Even if I'm not seriously wounded, you should also compensate some of my medical cost!
I'll compensate. Sorry, how much is it?
Looking at the falling direction of your bicycle, I immediately know that you fell on your own.
There's no dent on your tyre, it's even more impossible for this miss to be the one who knocked over you.
And there's one more point, you're riding it on a reverse lane.
There's so many guys like you who tries to fake car accidents to scam people's money.
Before I call the police, I advise you to leave on your own. Go away.
- Because of kids like you...- Give it to me!
- Just treat this as my mental compensation.- Return me my cellphone!
Wait here.
It seems that I'm more familiar with the streets than you.
Give me the cellphone.
Pain, pain, painful!
Cellphone!
Okay, I'll give it to you...
Okay, don't hit anymore. It's my wrong, okay? I'm sorry...
It's my wrong, don't hit me anymore!
Don't let me see you again!

Did he recognize me? Does he remember me?
The way he looks at me, it seems like I'm a stranger to him.
But the way he asks me to wait for him also seems like we're very close friends.
What should I do? In what kind of state should I face him?
(Joy of Reading Bookstore)
Our boss will not be coming back today.
If you're going to ask about gramophone records, I will deliver the message to him for you, okay?
It's fine. It will be clearer if I ask the boss face-to-face.
Is that so? But... the way our boss talks doesn't make sense.
I'm afraid that you may misunderstand, it will be clearer with me delivering the message for him.
How is everything in the store today?
Boss Yang!
Hello, Teacher Chen.
My dad love the record you picked for me last time, so much that he couldn't bear to tear his hands away from it.
So I want to ask you to help me pick another two records.
No problem.
- Today, you... - Mr. Yang Mo Cheng, there's a package for you
- Okay.- Please hold on for a moment.
Coming!
Yang Mo Cheng.
Sender's address: Taipei City, Tamsui Region, Zhong Zheng Street.
Teacher Chen! I coincidentally know a little bit about gramophone records,
let me introduce for you, it will be faster this way.
- Our boss is still busy, let me introduce for you. - But...
Here, take a look at this record, this is really the "Oh My God" kind of good!
Every time when a customer comes and listen to this, they will say that they really want to buy it from us.
Come, listen to this.
Teacher Chen, or do you want to sit in our best seat to listen to music? Come.
Please sit down, try to relax and place yourself comfortably as much as possible.
I'll play the music for you.
(Ancient City, by Zhu Tian Xin)
Is there really an era that we've missed out?
In that era, the sky is clearer, human's tears are more pure.
Is it to reach out to that era,
to keep that era,
so you read all these books?
(Joy of Reading Bookstore)
It succeeded!
No, it can stay longer, one more time.
One, two...
Yes, it succeeded!
- How is it?- It spins for such a long time!
Come, your turn, your turn!
Wow, wow!
- Yes, it succeeded!- Yeah!
It can spin for such a long time, it's still spinning!
Woah!
Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first.
Sister Ke Xin, the things you delivered are so fun!
Really? You guys have fun playing.
But it's so strange, you just need to bring it to us to play,
why do you have to deliver it?
Because...
when you put those things inside...
About the question you asked me in the letter...
That... don't put it to heart!
That's because I was feeling down yesterday,
so I just felt a moment of urge to spit out my feelings,
I was being crazy. I'm fine now!
Right? It's nothing, don't bother about me!
Don't bother about me.
Uncle Mo Cheng, teacher says...
if someone send you a letter, you should reply the letter if you have manners.
Sister Ke Xin is a girl, a man shouldn't let a girl cry.
So you have to reply her letter, then you are a real man, you know?
Reply her letter, then I'm a real man?
Xiao Ba!
What time is it now already? Let's go home for dinner! Let's go!
I'll take Xiao Ba home.
Let's go...
It's fine. I'll pick it up myself.
Bye bye! Come, let's go!
Old Liu's restaurant.
Are you on diet? I'll be kind and help you eat these!
Ah Bi, is this your home's big gate?
Of course! If not, don't tell me it's my home's ceiling!
So is the mailbox placed in the back door?
Mailbox?
What era is now? Who still use mailbox?
Now, there's a thing called email.
"E-m-a-i-l".
If not there's another thing called whatsapp, okay?
Nonsense, of course I know!
But if there's any important mails,
or any bills notification letters,
if the postman wants to deliver these... if there's no mailbox, where does he deliver these letters to?
Just throw it into the shop!
The surrounding neighbors can receive it for us, we're all like that in this place.
Where is my dumplings?!
Spit it out! I won't allow you to eat it!
Y-y-you!! You ate my dumplings!
You've really gone overboard, spit it out and return it to me!
Fat ass!
Try running away again from me! Try running away again!
You hit your boss!
I still have some Haruki Murakami‘s books that I haven't read,
I'll go up stairs first.
I passed by the Evening market,
so I brought some side dishes for you.
What's wrong with Du Ke Xin?
I don't know? She can't find the mailbox in my house so she got frustrated.
Then, stop the car in front. I'll go on my own.
You don't go to work now because you suddenly thought of doing something,
and you're even going to Tamsui!

Do you think I should write back a letter?
Ah Bi,
Did you make that letterbox?
No.
Then what is that letterbox doing over there?
It should be Brother Mo Cheng. Last time, I told him about
you chasing furiously after me for the letterbox.
Mr Postman, may I ask whether there's a letter for Miss Du inside?
No.
Hey!
Mr Postman, did you see that the new letterbox on that side?
Yes, I did.
Sorry to trouble you, but in future
can you place the letters inside the letterbox?
Okay.
Thank you.
I passed by dumpling granny's place just now but nobody is around.
Please pass this letter to her.
Xiaoba!
Xiaoba?
Here, these are you granny's letters.
Sister Ke Xing, have you seen the letter Mei Mei sent to me?
No, I didn't. Mei Mei is writing a letter to you?
That's right. I told her to place the letter in your letterbox
so she doesn't have to paste a stamp.
I'm so smart, right?
That's right.
You're so smart.
Alright, quickly pass the letters to your granny.
Uncle Qiang!
Uncle Qiang?!
Uncle Qiang, I have letters for you!
-Hey.-Uncle Qiang, here.
Aiyo, Kexin, I often trouble you
to take letters for us, I'm very sorry.
Not at all, it's convenient.
Where else do you have to go?
Hmm...
Mrs Cai,
and also Grandpa Wang's house.
- And...- Grandpa Wang?
Grandpa Wang from the end of the bridge?
Yes.
Give me a minute.
Here, this bag
Grandpa Wang ordered some sausage from me two days ago.
Please send it over to him since it's on the way.
What?
And also, this is the authentic Yi Lan specialty product,
"Ox's tongue" pie.(A famous snack in Yilan.)
Oh, thank you.
You're welcome.
Uncle Qiang, I'll get going first.
Ok, hurry and deliver it!
Does he think I'm the postman?
What is this?
♫ Dearest Lan Di, my brother ♫
♫ It's not often that you win against others, but you surpassed yourself this time ♫
♫ Although when you left school, ♫
♫ everyone thought that there will be no future for you ♫
♫ but you neither complain nor blame others, ♫
♫ nor give up and abandon yourself ♫You can usually see galaxy and shooting stars at the summer night at that time.
For a long time there will be the feeling of human survival
and the rise and fall of the dynasties.
The most stupid among them
has taken an oath to achieve big things in the future
and never live in vain.
The background music of that moment, if you have a sibling who attended university,
maybe you still listen to the Beatles
If it's the first year of the 70's
you listened to Candida regardless where.
Granny!
Xiao Ba!
You finally have a letter!
Granny, I'm leaving first.
Shall I give you a few jiaozi first?
It's fine. I have to deliver mail.
Bye bye!
I don't know if the meaning of success.
lies in surpassing yourself.
We all fight against ourselves.
We're striving for a better future
and in order to gain a unique victory.
Are you okay?
Thank you.
The music you gave me last time sounds very nice.
What?
Nothing.
Sometimes humans need a small shock.
What you see most of the times is your girlfriend
leaving you.
People sometimes need a bit of a kind of a blow.
I've never listened to these songs. Where did you get them?
I don't know why
but when I listen to music I want to cry.
And then I want to laugh at myself for crying so easily.
Cry and laugh at the same time.
If someone sees me he'll definitely think I'm a fool.
But in my heart, I feel I was never that smart.

Ah Bi!
What are you doing here not going home?
Ah Bi, what's wong?
Don't bother me! You won't understand!
Ah Bi!
How do you know whether I understand or not if you don't speak?
Even if I don't understand, you can at least share it with someone.
It is better than suffering silently alone by yourself.
I know uncle Liu's matter puts great pressure on you.
However, we're all next yo you.
Look. Uncle Qiang, uncle Yong, boss Yang
Granny dumpling and me. We're all willing to give you a helping hand.
The doctor also said
Uncle Liu's condition is good.
He'll be able to discharge after a couple of check-ups.
So you don't have to...
I hope my father dies.
I just had a dream.
I dreamt that my father died.
Although I cried of sadness, in the end I dreamed I packed my luggage
and didn't need to be trapped in the house, in this shop, in this place.
At that time, I felt so relax.
But after I woke up,
I feel that I'm such a bad person.
Why am I like this? Why am I like this?!
Ah Bi.
Have you ever heard that a dream is the opposite of reality?
Sometimes, what you afraid the most appears in your dreams.
That shows that you're afraid to see your father die.
So, you're not bad at all.Don't think so bad of yourself.
That's why I'm saying, you don't understand!
You have no idea how much I hate this place. I really wish to leave this place!
I wish a rooter would tear this place down tomorrow!
I even hate myself for living here!
Ah Bi.
Let's listen to some music.
Do you understand?
No matter how lonely you feel and nobody understands you
you won't be abandoned.

Hi.
It was you two.
You still remember us?
Of course, I remember. Last time you bought 1Q84, right?
Right, this is my friend.
Nice to meet you, new student.
I told them that books sold here have tangible benefit.
Thank you.
This is a present for you.
You're really scheming! Why didn't you tell me about giving her a present?
Thank you.
But why are you giving me a present?
Its nothing, just a token of thanks for recommending that book last time.
That's right!
Thank you, let me take a look at it.
Did you draw this?
-That's right.-The paper belongs to me.
Do you like it?
Yes.
Can I take a picture with you?
-Of course.-I want one too.
Ok, then let's take a picture here.
Okay!
Ke Xin! The seminar can almost start!
Okay, coming!
I'll take this, thank you!
You guys come in too, we have dessert you can eat.
Ok, quickly!
Why are you abstructing the street?!
Haruki Murakami's seminar.
Kafka by the sea
Sis Ke Xin is about to speak.
I'm very happy you came to attend the Haruki Murakami seminar
that Joy Of Reading Bookstore organized.
Before I start reading
I would like everyone attending if there's someone who doesn't know Haruki Murakami.
We know, we know.
Thank you.
Excuse me. What is Spring trees, winter trees?
Is it an article?
We came here just to cheer up.
Yes, we brought people here.
Sis Ke Xin, can I play with the toy bought from Taipei?
Xiao Ba, first let me finish talking,
then I will bring toys for you to play with, ok?
But I want to play it now...
Alright...let Ke Xin talk
Everyone, it's alright if you don't know Haruki Murakami.
That's because even I started reading his books just a while ago.
Moreover, I didn't understand much.
However, it's alright. Today our bookstore invited
the Editor in Chief from Dongri publishing house, Miss Liang Liyun.
She will explain Haruki Murakami. Welcome!
I believe that under the explanation of Miss Liang Liyun
you will all get to know Haruki Murakami.
It's up to you now. Great!
Alright, I'll introduce myself first. I'm Dongri publishing house's Liang Liyun.
I'm happy to be here today to share with you the happiness of reading.
It seems that don't actually know Haruki Murakami.
Yes. We just know ants going up the tree.
It's alright. Then, I'll first discuss about books.
I'll introduce you Haruki Murakami.
But, in reality, he's a very interesting person.
Every night, he goes to bed at 10 pm.
In the morning, he wakes up at 6 to go for a run.
That's like me, I am also like that!
The reason for doing this is that he believes people pay him to be a writer.
Only by living a disciplent life can he be right towards his readers.
He's kind hearted.
Like grandma giving me money to go to school.
Only by being good, getting up early and sleep early can I repay her.
Xiao Ba is awesome!
Liu Bi En! Come out!
You want to hit, right?
Go!
Say what you want to say.Don't mess around.
Boss, it's him! It's because of him last time I didn't snatch the cellphone.
He even twisted my arm.
So nice! I can handle them together.
Liu Bi En! Do you have guts?!
Why are you hiding behind elders? You haven't cut the cord, right?
Who hasn't cut it?! Come, if you want to hit! Ah Bi!
Police is here!Here! The police!
Liu Bi En, I'm not done with you!
Uncle Mo Cheng, are you alright?
Boss Yang! Are you alright?
Are you okay? What happened?
It might hurt a little.
You're a guest. It's okay, I will do it.
I shall not trouble you.
You should go to the hospital to wrap it. It's safer that way.
Brother Qiang, it's OK. It will be fine with some medicine.
Sorry, Mo Cheng.
I'm fine, don't worry.
I'm more worried about you
Why were these troublemakers looking for you?
Ah Bi, you can't be thinking that being friends with these kids
you can reach a higher level in your studies.
Thank God boss Yang was here to stand up for you.
Do you want your dad's heart to collapse again?
If you don't say clearly, you won't be able to give an answer to everyone.
Ah Bi, don't be afraid.
If you don't say it out, the problem will never be resolved.
Tell teacher, what happened?
That's right, Ah Bi. Don't be afraid.
Everyone's protecting you. Don't worry and just say it out.
Do you still remember the song that we listened yesterday?
Have you forgotten? You will not be abandoned.
"The world breaks everyone"
"and afterward"
"many are strong at the broken places."
(A Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemingway)
I will not let you off, you these little punks.
Granny!
How can you push her?
Crazy woman! What does this got to do with you?!
Just treat this as you're doing a favour for Ke Xing.
Be Xiang Shu Lei for once.
Hi, Mr Xiang.
Can you give mom a hug?
Stop saying that you're Yang Mo Cheng.
Does your boyfriend know about these love letters?
What love letters?
The love letters Xiang Shu Lei wrote for you. Are you two-timing?
Ke Xin. Come back and find a job.
Stop going to Yilan.
-But Xiang Shu Lei's memories...-Stop talking about Xiang Shu Lei.
You're behaving strangely lately.

♫ Three years ago, we were just strangers on the road. ♫
♫ There're no worldly emotions that entangled us. ♫
♫ We lived an affection-less life, just passing each other by. ♫
♫ We were people from two different worlds. ♫
♫ But loneliness dictates that our story begins. ♫
♫ We went from lovers, to family, then strangers in the end. ♫
♫ I took a long detour and got to see our journey thus far. ♫
♫ Returning to the start left me so full of emotions. ♫
♫ I don't want to be the nice guy with a reluctant smile. ♫
♫ I'd rather be indifferent and turn away. ♫
♫ I was alone to begin with, ♫
♫ and I'm alone in the end. ♫
♫ I could only wish you and him a happy life. ♫
♫ I'll be a good person and let you go. ♫
♫ Is happiness still a possibility? ♫
♫ From this day on, in our own journeys, ♫
♫ I hope that love can come again ♫
♫ and bring about an emotion-filled love song. ♫
