Episode 26
We haven?t even competed yet
and you?re buying me dinner.
Well, thanks to you,
the band can smoothly enter the competition.
This meal is just a small thanks.
Dig in.
Zhang Hao.
What? You don?t like it?
It?s not that.
I?ve been thinking about
something I want to tell you.
What is it?
I think Luo Man likes you.
Since you both like the other,
why has the situation become like this?
Who told you that she likes me?
Her and Xiu Qi are going steady now.
How long are you going to lie to yourself?
Can you really not tell that Luo Man likes you?
When did you learn to deceive yourself?
I think Zhang Hao?s really amazing.
There are things
we don?t even dare think about
that he goes out and does.
That?s the American spirit.
Zhang Hao?
Him, daring?
You don?t think so?
There are times he really isn?t.
Ma Jun Cai.
Aren?t you studying English?
How can you have the time to chat?
Why are you bringing that up?
I tried so hard to relax
and forget about
studying English.
I?m telling you,
from now on no one say ?studying English? to me.
I?ll get violent with whoever does.
Xiu Qi.
I need to talk with you.
Recently, have they been talking in private a lot?
It makes the mood so solemn.
My guess is
Zhang Hao is being daring this time around.
What do you mean?
Nothing really.
Study your English, okay?
I told you
to not mention that.
Zhang Hao.
Thank you.
What for?
Thank you for asking Shu Qing to help out.
I know it was hard for you.
It?s fine.
There?s nothing between us.
She?s getting along with her fiancé now.
What did you
call me out here for?
Xiu Qi,
do you remember when I said
I?ll completely support you being with Luo Man?
Yeah.
Well...
I might not be able to now.
What do you mean?
I can?t lie about how I feel anymore.
I like Luo Man,
and I?m going to tell her.
I?m sorry.
Are you confident?
How do you mean?
That your feelings will never change.
That you?ll always be by Luo Man?s side.
I don?t think that much like you do.
I just know that in this instant,
I like Luo Man.
I like her and want to be with her.
I?m going to tell her everything.
Sorry.
This is yours.
Here?s yours.
Enjoy.
I can?t lie about how I feel anymore.
I like Luo Man,
and I?m going to tell her.
Hello?
Mom.
Oh no, I?m fine, don?t worry.
What?
Really?
Okay, okay.
I understand.
Okay, bye.
Zhang Hao,
what are you doing here?
Aren?t you off today?
What?s wrong? You have something to say?
Um...
It?s nothing.
I wanted to talk to Ding Ling-jie about something.
I?m leaving then.
Bye-bye.
Zhang Hao
must have confessed to Luo Man by now.
Hello?
Student president Li Xiu Qi,
are you in the midst of pondering
the origin of human suffering?
What?
The words on your forehead
seem to be floating about you right now.
Your worries are so deep.
Where are you, Luo Man?
Hello?
What?s worrying you so much?
You look like the sky might fall at any moment.
It?s nothing.
I felt stuffy, so I wanted to get some air.
By the way,
Zhang Hao
went by the pub to find you, right?
I saw him when I got off.
What?s up?
It?s nothing.
Nothing at all.
I?m leaving then.
I?ve had a long day.
Bye-bye.
Luo Man.
X-Xiu Qi...
even though we?re dating now,
t-there are a lot of people around.
W-we...
Sorry.
Go on back to your dorm.
Alright, don?t force yourself.
Head on back.
Your school called.
They said you barely showed up this semester,
and you?re not getting the credit.
If you don?t come back
and handle this anytime soon,
there?s a chance you won?t be able to graduate.
Are you confident?
That your feelings won?t change.
That you can stay by Luo Man?s side.
Work hard!
Wen Ting Ting.
You?re here.
Why haven?t you changed your clothes?
What do I do?
Ting Ting! What?s wrong with your throat?
What now?
Shu Qing can sing.
She?s been on stage a lot,
so it should be no problem.
We signed up as 6 people.
If Shu Qing sings, it?ll be 5 people.
We?ll lose points
short a person.
How about this?
Although it?s not right,
I?ll take her place.
There has to be another option.
Everyone give it some thought.
There?s someone named Li Na in the Philosophy department.
She seems to be all right.
I?ll ask.
It?s too late to find somebody.
Luo Man. Luo Man.
We?ll talk later, Ting Ting.
Finding a lead singer?s more important right now.
(Luo Man can take...)
?Luo Man can take my place.?
Luo Man, sing?
Ting Ting, are you sure you don?t have a fever?
I?ve heard her sing, she?s good.
Ting Ting, stop messing around. I can?t do it.
Why can?t you?
You?re Luo Hai Bin?s daughter.
If I say you?re good, you?re good.
Luo Man will do it.
Uh... everyone get ready.
Get ready to set out.
?Only in the blackness of night
?Whether or not I?ll lose my love again
?For the sake of the conclusion coming today or tomorrow
Hello to all the audience members and viewers.
Welcome to this round of
the championship for the winner of Wild King of Karaoke!
Look at that person.
Did you see him fall?
So funny.
Hong Fei has smashed his watermelon!
According to our rules,
Hong Fei, you can take off your helmet
and go hold your breath in the water!
Contestant Gao Ge?s watermelon
has been smashed by Hai Bin!
Okay!
At the same time, Li Hong?s watermelon
has also been smashed by Hai Bin!
Hai Bin, you?re the last one remaining.
Do your best!
Do your best, Hai Bin!
The watermelon?s right in front of you!
Hai Bin, go for it!
Go for it!
Okay!
Hai Bin has finally smashed his own watermelon.
I?m going out for a moment.
Thanks.
Zhang Hao.
Wait up.
I want to ask you something.
Is it why I didn?t tell Luo Man?
Well...
I?m going back to the States soon.
W-what?
I didn?t inform my school before I left.
Yesterday, my family called me
and said if I didn?t take care of it,
I might not be able to graduate.
Why did it turn out like that?
I?m someone who takes action.
When I make a decision, I act with my emotions.
Because I didn?t want to affect everyone before the competition,
I thought I?d wait until after it?s over to tell.
So
help me keep it a secret, Xiu Qi.
Okay?
I?ll say two things.
That you could reach this step
makes me very proud.
At this key moment, I hope everyone
can enjoy can enjoy every second of every minute on stage.
I think that?s what?s most important.
Understand?
Understood.
Nan Yang University?s band, come on stage.
Here.
Our goal is the Best-Looking Newbie award.
Do your best!
Go.
Good luck, daughter.
I?m going for it!
Our next contestant
is the band from Nan Yang University.
Their song is
?One and a Half Summer.?
Let?s welcome them onto the stage!
Do your best!
Nan Yang band, go for it!
You?re the best!
What?s going on?
Sing.
What?s happening?
Why aren?t you singing?
You okay?
Everyone, um... that was a warm-up.
Now we?ll get started!
Ready?
Come on! 1, 2, 3,
go! Come on!
?You come over with a smile on your face
?The corner of your mouth lifts up
?We can?t hide the distance
?The hearts of two people once pasted together
?Now left behind
?And half-familiar
?On the crossroads you held me, told me not to cry
?Expression lingering on hesitation
?I know it doesn?t matter
?We bless each other to hide carefully come tomorrow
?I lost you
?Smashing apart the memory of warm fingertips in that instant
?Even if you?ve forgotten
?We already said we want to be together
?I have no way of blaming you because I love you
?The Chinese parasol tree blowing in the wind can?t forget even a second
?Standing in this lost place, half of me has already let you go
Join the band!
Classmates, join the band.
Join our band.
I?ll give you bread every week.
Really?
I recently created a band.
Have that girl wait for me.
I?ll chat with her about music.
?You come over with a smile on your face
?The corner of your mouth lifts up
?We can?t hide the distance
?The hearts of two people
I really am busy.
Professor Luo, please guide us.
Please guide us.
Three words:
?A complete mess.?
We might as well disband at this rate.
?On the crossroads
?You held me, told me not to cry
?Expression lingering on hesitation
?I know it doesn?t matter
Because we?re a rock band,
not a chorus club for the school.
Impossible.
Professor Luo, what is going on?
?When I leave, I don?t want to bring along
We?re a pair of thieves.
A limited edition Fender!
Where?d you get this?
Hurry up.
?After I turn around, I hope this sorrow stops
Our band is disbanding next semester.
What?
Thank you, everyone.
?Told me not to cry
?Expression lingering on hesitation
?I know it doesn?t matter
?We bless each other
You?re not joking?
You really made it to the finals?
?Smashing apart the memory of warm fingertips in that instant
?Even if you?ve forgotten
?We already said we want to be together
?I have no way of blaming you
?Because I love you
?The Chinese parasol tree blowing in the wind can?t forget even a second
?Standing in this lost place, half of me has already let you go
You guys are amazing!
Success, success.
This was a success, right?
Amazing.
Amazing!
Amazing, amazing.
To tell the truth,
I was so nervous.
What? It was spectacular.
Didn?t you see all the audience cheering them on?
Calm down, girls.
Don?t scare us to death.
I?ll tell you a secret.
During the performance,
your Professor Luo?s eyes were brimming with tears.
He was about to cry.
Says who? I was not.
It?s not true, don?t listen to her nonsense.
Nice drum work.
Shu Qing?s solo was also very exciting.
Thanks.
Xiu Qi played well.
Zhang Hao sung well too.
Thanks.
What about me, Professor Luo?
I tried my best, too.
Were you on stage?
I was! I was by his side!
He played well for once today.
He?s always messing around.
That?s not right, Professor Luo.
Without my bass, this band wouldn?t have become like it is.
Right, your jumping was top-notch for a bass player.
Okay, well done, well done.
Applause, applause.
Okay.
We?ve finished our evaluations.
The results have come out.
We?d first like to award
the Best-looking Newbie prize.
The winning band
may not be the most professional contestants,
but they definitely are
the ones who most won over the crowd.
The winner of the 21st
Xiamen University campus music festival?s
Best-looking Newbie award is
the band from Rui Dou!
Please welcome them onto the stage.
Congratulations.
No... what did they do?
We?re obviously the ones who should be welcomed.
How can they give the award to them?
Still failed in the end.
Next,
we?d like to award
our most weighed prize.
Campus music fest?s best-looking band?s top award.
As far as which band
can get the final victory...
Okay.
Let me take a peek first.
The winner of the 21st Xiamen University
campus music fest?s
Best-looking band is
the band from Nan Yang University!
Us!
That?s us!
Nan Yang University band, please come accept
the prize.
We won a prize!
Very awesome, congratulations!
Let?s give them a round of applause!
Everyone,
we got first place.
Why is everyone hanging their heads?
As if we?ve been defeated.
We should be overjoyed!
The Director wrote we had to get the Best-looking Newbie award.
Although we?ve nabbed first place,
that doesn?t guarantee our band stays together.
It?s my fault.
I didn?t think of every possibility.
Don?t say that, Xiu Qi.
No matter what,
we did the best we could.
Where are you heading off to?
Someone?s coming to pick me up.
Let?s say goodbye here then.
Shu Qing,
won?t you come with us?
I can?t, I have to get home early.
It was fun practicing with you guys.
Good work, everyone.
Hey guys, I have something to tell Shu Qing.
Can you wait for me?
Okay.
Uh... we?ll leave.
Bye-bye.
Okay, okay, let?s go.
Give them some space.
Come on, let?s go.
Bye-bye.
What do you want to tell me?
Well...
I?m... going back to the States soon.
What?
I might not have time
to say goodbye to you in person later.
So... goodbye.
So sudden.
I came to China because of you.
Here,
I made so many friends
and made a lot of happy memories.
I should thank you for that.
People never know
what will happen in the future.
It might be like
getting something other than
what you chased after
in the long run.
Anyway,
thank you.
Thank you.
Alright, nice performance today,
Really incredible,
You?re the Best-looking band.
Alright, tonight,
I?m treating everyone at the pub in celebration.
Right.
Um...
What?s wrong?
How about we go celebrate?
It?s a happy thing.
Wait, someone?s missing.
Where are that new girl and Zhang Hao?
He has something more important.
No need to wait for him, let?s go.
What important thing?
An honest confession.
It wasn?t an easy thing to get together with that girl.
Of course they have to talk it out.
Come on.
Wait, I need to use the restroom.
Sorry.
Something came up at the company.
I?m late.
Thanks.
Shu Qing texted me.
She said you guys won.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
We?ll be leaving then.
Okay.
Bye.
Turns out
Zhang Hao isn?t confessing to Shu Qing.
Has Shu Qing...
made up with her fiancé?
Cheers!
I?m telling you,
you guys worked hard today.
Indeed we did.
A Pisces like me is very sensitive.
Seeing Luo Man getting stage fright
about made me pee myself.
Regardless,
we had a good performance.
We had good results
because of how much we practiced.
Xiu Qi?s right.
Although we didn?t get that, that...
that Best-looking Newbie or whatever award,
we got first place.
For that,
we oughta have another toast.
Come on.
Here.
Another sip.
Come on.
Cheers.
I have something to tell everyone.
In a few days, I?m going back to the States.
American friend,
don?t joke around like that.
I know people from America are all about freedom,
but you?re forsaking your friends right now.
How can you just leave?
You think that?s dependable?
When will you come back?
I don?t know.
I?m not certain I will.
Why is it so sudden?
I didn?t have to chance to take a leave from university before coming.
The school?s informed me
if I don?t come and take care of this,
I might not be able to graduate.
Plus, my visa?s expiring soon.
When are you planning on leaving?
I?m looking at plane tickets right now.
As soon as I buy one, I?ll leave.
Then... this meal today
won?t be for celebrating winning,
it?ll be Zhang Hao?s going away party.
There?s a saying in China
that fits well here:
?All good things must come to an end.?
I don?t want everyone to feel upset.
Here!
Let?s clink glasses.
To our American friend!
To Zhang Hao!
Luo Hai Bin?
Isn?t this Professor Luo?
Guys,
take a look.
Isn?t this Professor Luo from our school?
This here, take a look.
Top ten.
Look, look.
Luo Hai Bin enters the top ten.
It really is Professor Luo.
Look at how cool he looks in those clothes.
Too cool, too cool.
Seriously.
What? This...
Professor Luo!
Don?t go, Professor Luo!
Isn?t that Professor Luo?
What is going on here?
Are you kidding me?
Professor Luo!
Hello? Director!
