Episode 5
Stop!
You guys wouldn?t listen from the start when I let you play that classic song.
You just had to choose this one.
Now, you haven?t even played it through once
despite how long we?ve been practicing.
Professor.
I feel, what if?
Who let you speak?
And what about our lead singer?
I mean, even if you guys don?t listen to me,
you have to make Ting Ting come.
Where is she?
Getting her appendix out everyday.
Is her appendix that long?
It?d be better if we disbanded
than be like this.
What?s with you?
Didn?t you say we?re disbanding, sir?
Shut up!
Are we or not?
Shut up!
I...
A producer is
engaging in talks with me about a new album.
Pay special attention to the time.
Get me to come when I?m still not very busy.
You?ll regret it if you wait until I become busy
and I?m not around.
Xiu Qi!
Director.
Hello, Director.
Hello.
You?re looking for me, Director?
How are preparations going
for next weeks?s school founding event?
Almost finished.
I?ll bring you the plans soon.
You.
You have the capacity to work
and an individualistic temperament,
just like I was at your age.
Right, right.
You?re also very close to how I was.
Practically identical.
I am?
Director, please, sit.
Please, have a seat.
You guys sound pretty good.
Pleasing with a good presentation.
I didn?t misjudge you.
You?re very good.
At the school founding festival,
how about
you all perform our school song?
Your practice
is energetic and positive.
How could you not perform it?
Because we?re a rock and roll band,
not a school music group.
Impossible.
Professor Luo.
To be worthy
of the title of professor,
you have to pay attention to
what it is you?re wearing.
What are you wearing?
Snake skin!
What does it matter what I?m wearing?
Director,
I?ll speak for everyone when I say
your request is impossible.
Professor Luo,
part of your job as a professor
should be to encourage your students to perform the school song.
Please, do not say it?s part of my job.
I?m immediately unwilling.
It?s next month, right?
I?ll put my letter of resignation
on your desk.
Dad, what?re you saying?
Alright, okay.
You said it!
I?ll be waiting for that letter!
Next month,
I?ll send your replacement for this event.
Director...
Caring Brother.
What are you doing walking alone here at night?
Something troubling you?
It?s nothing.
Nothing...
I?ve never seen you look so down.
Is it
the student government that?s troubling you?
Talk.
So
you think Wen Ting Ting?s not coming to practice
because she doesn?t want to see you.
That means...
She must be very upset.
Zhang Hao,
you must?ve been on a lot of dates in America.
What did you do in this situation?
Of course I dated a lot.
During the break up, the girls were very refined.
They could even go on a date the next night with someone else.
If a girl confessed to you, what would you do?
Since I?m also single,
I?d definitely agree to date her.
What?
If I find we?re not compatible afterward,
I?d just break up.
How can you do that?
I wouldn?t be able to.
Caring Brother,
you?ve already fallen for someone, haven?t you?
I understand your problem.
You must be joking.
In a year, I?ll graduate and take the Judiciary Exam
like my mom and dad hope.
I can?t date
before then.
It seems as though the person you like
isn?t very important to you at all.
That?s not what I meant.
See!
You really do like someone.
I don?t.
But I?m not like you.
You?re someone who?ll recklessly jump into things.
You can?t understand the pressure I?m under.
Pressure?
Aren?t you doing really well right now?
Despite that,
falling in love
is completely possible, right?
Think it over.
Don?t get to the point
that the girl you like falls for someone else
and you?re left with regret.
Only time can fix
what happened with Wen Ting Ting.
She might quickly find someone else.
Don?t worry about it so much.
I hope that?s how it turns out.
If you have questions about relationships in the future,
come find me at any time.
I?ll give you free consultations.
Oh, right, um...
I?ve found an art school
close by.
I forgot that our school
has an art school branch.
It looks like you have to go by boat
across the ocean.
I?m still not accustomed to Xiamen, so
could you come with me tomorrow?
Sure.
But we?ll go by ferry.
Ferry?
I?ve never ridden one.
Sign: Nan Yang University Art School
Must be here.
Classmate,
excuse me, could I ask you,
do you know where the music department is?
There, on the third floor.
Okay, thanks.
You?re welcome.
Zhang Hao!
Over there.
Excuse me, do you recognize this girl?
Thanks.
Excuse me.
Do you know this girl?
She looks like Shu Qing.
Shu Qing?
Her name?s Shu Qing?
Are you sure you know her?
I?m pretty sure.
She?s the cello major Shu Qing.
Do you know where she is right now?
I just saw her in the practice room.
On the 5th floor.
Thank you.
Let?s go.
Shu Qing?
Have you seen Shu Qing?
She just left.
Zhang Hao! Quick, come here.
Is that her?
Shu Qing!
It?s really you.
So your real name?s Shu Qing
Wait, hold on.
Why did you pretend not to know me when you saw me?
I wasn?t pretending.
I really don?t know you.
If you don?t, then why are you avoiding me?
I?m not.
Then why won?t you stop?
Hey!
No, it?s you.
That cup of water left at the pub that night,
that water with the sugar in it,
only you know that I do that.
You left that for me, didn?t you?
But why are you still avoiding me?
If you wanted to avoid me,
why would you leave that water for me?
Why did you leave Santorini?
I exhausted myself looking for you.
Why won?t you give me an answer?
Stand still, will you?
Shu Qing
I really missed you.
Do you need to go back?
?I remember Paris in ?49
Who wants to come up
and try to write this character?
Zhang Hao?
?The Champs Elysee, Saint Michel, and old Beaujolais wine.
?And I recall that you were mine
?in those Parisienne days.
I went half-way around the world to find you.
I never thought it?d turn out like this.
I don?t believe all our memories of Santorini are false.
I trust my intuition.
Even though I?m tired,
I won?t give up.
I?ll see you again.
Please, don?t run away again.
I believe
you?re also waiting for me.
What?d you say?
The Athena he met in Greece has a boyfriend?
Now that you all know about this,
don?t bring it up.
Let?s be considerate of him.
Your eyes
are way too small.
I thought my eyes were rather large.
What?re you playing at?
Your picture on the internet is altered way too much.
I never altered it.
Have you seen me?
We?re just getting to know each other.
Don?t leave.
You want to leave so soon?
Are my looks that disappointing?
You?re full of it.
Go take a look in the mirror, would you?
You dare date me like this.
Stop right there!
What?s so great about you?
Can?t you understand how it feels to like someone?
Your mind constantly on that one person,
thinking everyday how you can make him happy,
having fantasies about how wonderful it would be to be a couple.
Do you understand what that feels like?
W-who are you? Such a busybody.
Ting Ting, Ting Ting.
I?m his friend.
I overheard your conversation.
I couldn?t take it.
Don?t be so haughty, okay?
Do you know how popular Ma Jun Cai is at our school?
So many girls like him.
You should feel lucky he dated you.
Feel lucky, you understand?
You?re out of your mind.
You?re the crazy one here!
Don?t leave! Don?t leave!
Ting Ting, Ting Ting.
Calm down.
That...
What you said about me being popular,
is that true?
How come I didn?t know?
It?s obviously a lie.
Ting Ting.
You?re my savior today!
I-I?ll buy you some drinks.
You?re so forceful.
You care?
Ting Ting,
you?re really aggressive today.
Stop sucking up.
I?m serious.
I?m a sensitive Pisces.
I never noticed how great you are before.
You blind idiots.
Us?
I?m talking about Li Xiu Qi.
Ting Ting.
Xiu Qi doesn?t like you,
but someone else does.
Oh please.
That?s such an out-dated way of comforting someone.
I don?t believe it.
Try again.
Ting Ting.
You?re really beautiful.
Sorry.
I didn?t mean to.
I?m sorry.
It?s fine.
With a face like this,
saying these things,
it would be weird if girls didn?t spit up.
No...
Don?t think like that.
You don?t have to comfort me.
I?m always being rejected.
I...
Am I really that disappointing?
You?re not...
You?re not that bad.
You?re incredible.
Really?
It?s all true.
Then... will you be my girlfriend?
Are you joking?
I?m not.
I?m serious.
Let?s date.
Date?
You and me?
How could that be possible?
See?
You?re the same as all those other pretty girls
who reject me without understanding me.
And you said I was incredible.
You were just saying that.
You never actually thought that way.
No.
It?s not like that.
Since it?s not,
why did you reject me?
Don?t you think I?m pretty great?
I?m thinking
we should give dating a try.
I?m not saying we were made for each other.
Rather than drinking yourself silly
because of Li Xiu Qi,
it?s better to be composed.
Be my girlfriend.
I?m not hurt because of him.
Forget him.
It?s just dating.
No backing out.
My wonderful girlfriend, did you sleep well?
Oh my God.
Heavens.
Hand me a knife, please.
Ting Ting!
Ting Ting.
What?re you doing here?
Waiting to give you breakfast.
You?re so considerate.
I?ll just have this.
I?m a little busy.
I have to go.
Ting Ting.
That is...
Today after class,
let?s have our first date.
We?ll do whatever you want.
Let?s hold off today.
I?m busy.
I?ll go now.
That so?
Today the tax-free market?s having a sale.
I have a coupon card.
Looks like I won?t be using it.
Zhang Hao,
I don?t feel well today.
Could you help me put this away?
This one too.
Zhang You Tiao,
what?s wrong with you today?
Are you concocting some kind of scheme?
What?re you talking about?
Don?t pretend.
It?s nice how you?re not ordering me about,
but today you actually helped me.
You?re definitely planning something.
Aren?t you feeling unwell?
Helping you is a given.
You believe me?
Why wouldn?t I?
Are you really Zhang Hao?
Zhang You Tiao.
You haven?t contracted some fatal illness, have you?

Writing: It's impossible! How do you do this?
Sign: Nan Yang University Art School
Turns out every night he comes to wait for that Santorini.
Zhang You Tiao has it bad.
Phone: Luo Man
Are you asleep?
I revised all your math problems for you.
I?m not at the dorms. Just give them to me tomorrow.
Xiu Qi,
how?d you get back later than me today?
I had nothing to do, so I took a walk.
Has your pressure been too much lately?
It?s been fine.
Zhang Hao,
did you come home from work with Luo Man?
No.
I left first,
but I didn?t return immediately.
She must?ve gotten here before me.
That so?
Can we meet?
I have something to say.
Did he get tired of me that quickly?
Does he want to break up?
Didn?t we just see each other?
What?s up?
Ting Ting, that is...
Just spit it out.
I... I...
I knew it.
You can?t stand it and want to break up.
It?s okay.
No, no, no, Ting Ting!
That?s not what I meant.
I want to say,
I used to think dating was something that is really simple.
But over these last few days,
I?ve realized it can be quite exhausting.
But then I thought it over again.
Isn?t dating just investing in the other person?
I don?t think I?ve done enough yet.
I read in a book
that said,
the people involved need to have a connection.
So I want to ask you,
has my behavior these last few days
been up to standard?
Don?t worry.
I?ll put even more effort into our date tomorrow.
In order to get in rhythm with you,
I?ve gone through so many magazines.
I?ve investigated all the places to buy things and which days have sales.
When we shop in the future,
I will definitely wear a comfortable pair of shoes
so I can go anywhere with you.
Oh, right.
I?ve memorized the number for the express delivery service.
From now on, I?ll help you pick up all of your deliveries.
Get them yourself.
I?m taking even more classes lately.
I might
not be able to come perform.
That?s fine.
That?s your time.
I?ll still come.
After all, your place allows me the most freedom.
I have no other place where I can relax.
Okay. Come then.
Do you think I should keep performing?
Sometimes, I think
it?s a bit ridiculous.
What are you trying to say?
Nothing.
Really?
How has Zhang Hao been?
Is he still asking after me?
I didn?t bring him up.
You said it first.
Even though he doesn?t say anything,
I can tell
how terrible he feels.
This child never says the right things!
I don?t like Tang Bo Wen.
How many more times do I have to say it?
You don?t understand him.
There?s no like or dislike,
it?s just meeting up.
There?s no fault in that.
This child...
Sorry! Sorry!
Sorry.
Hello? Dad, where are you?
Hello.
I?m not going to Paris.
May I ask
where is the plane that?s leaving soonest going?
Greece. Santorini.
Nice view, right?
So, um, there?s a ship that goes to Mykonos everyday.
It?s called... it?s called "Destiny."
And if we happen to bump into each other on the ship,
then it?s really destiny,
right?
My name?s Zhang Hao, 22 years old.
Hello? Mom.
Shu Qing!
You took it too far this time.
Before they find out,
hurry up and come home
or else your dad and I will come to Santorini to find you.
How did you know where I am?
I looked at your credit card statement and your e-ticket.
Alright, I understand.
I?ll come back right away.
I heard you went on vacation.
Was it fun?
Hello? Zhang You Tiao, hurry back.
Luo Man is here.
That girl you met in Santorini.
I really liked your performance today.
You?re getting more and more awesome.
Ding Ling-jie,
can you help me?
If someone asks you about me,
say that you don?t know.
Don?t even tell him my name.
I came to China for you.
Who... are you?
You have the wrong person. I don?t know you.
By the way, Ting Ting.
I don?t think
we should tell anyone we?re dating yet.
Why?
Because
before,
everyone thought you liked Li Xiu Qi.
If he finds out that in such a short space of time we?ve gotten close,
it will seem like we?re not really serious.
I feel like
we are serious.
What do you say?
What you said makes sense.
Bros,
you guys don?t know about last time.
Don?t bring it up. I had a hard time.
On one side is Xiaoli,
on the other side is Xiaojie.
Both pretty,
both romantic and feeling it.
Tell me,
being with this one will hurt that one.
being with that one will hurt this one.
How do I choose?
Xiu Qi,
are you not even a little bit curious
why they both like me so much?
Wen Ting Ting is waiting for you downstairs.
Who told you?
Did you see us shopping?
No...
You spied on us walking around campus.
No, Wang Min Qiang, you have to tell me,
how did you know I?m dating Wen Ting Ting?
How did you know?
All I wanted to say is that
Wen Ting Ting is waiting for you downstairs.
That?s all.
Xiu Qi!
What a coincidence.
I?m on my way to class.
What?re you up to?
Waiting for my class.
Waiting for your class?
I went the wrong way.
I?m not waiting for anybody.
I know.
By the way, Ting Ting,
how?ve you been?
I...
I?m great.
Although knowing you don?t like me
has been a little hard,
I?ll cheer back up.
You don?t need to worry about me.
I can take care of myself.
Being heartbroken is only hard for a short time.
Don?t take it too hard.
Jun Cai?s a great guy.
Good luck to you two.
Luo Hai Bin!
Hai Pi-ge!
Here, here, come quickly.
Okay, okay.
Hai Pi-ge, quickly.
I?m coming, I?m coming.
Hurry, have a seat.
Me.
I had an operation on my vocal cords.
I can?t laugh out loud.
Basically, I?m saying that
I don?t like laughing.
So now
let?s get to the point.
Are you in contact with Ah-Chang?
Ah-Chang...
Bao Jia Chang?
Right.
The situation?s like this,
right now a record company?s executive
wants Ah-Chang to put out an album.
But you know how difficult that punk can be.
I want to know whether you two are still in contact or not.
Because I know while you were in the band,
you two had a good relationship.
Yeah, but
when the band broke up, we
we had a huge fight, didn?t we?
We haven?t been in contact since.
That so?
Do you know how to get into contact with him?
No, no, wait, hold on.
You asked me here to find Ah-Chang?
Yeah.
Not to say you?re going to release my album?
No, no.
Why?re you crying?
I?m not crying.
I?m laughing.
You're still dreaming about people releasing your album?
Let me speak simply.
If someone were to release your album,
who?d buy it?
You take credit cards?
1000 dollars.
Look at that expression.
I?m going to be able to put your new album on my shelf tomorrow, huh?
Remember to send me a copy!
