Episode 9
My father once said he found a letter at the post office
He tried his best, but he could only read three words,
it was uglier than a child's handwriting
You can say it was a wave of love.
But the corner of the envelope had a stamp.
Some kind of an organization.
WFWI-Women for Women International
This organization set up for the women,
was founded by a lady who escaped from Irage to America.
They used a blissful, carefree woman,
to match with a woman at the corner end of the world,
allowing them to embark on a love journey through sending letters.
Fei You Li!
-Your mail is here. -In 2007, a lady by the name Luo An Na, who lost everything in a fire,
Fei Er Li said, "I thought I was abandoned by the world."
It was only through Li Zhi's letter that I saw hope.
Because I am not alone.
In the other end of the world, there is someone else who is worried about me.
Care for me, cherish me
in hopes to hear that I am safe.
Strangely,
that moment when I made a mistake,
I actually recalled a true story my dad once told me.
A woman's pain.
Are women, a woman's friend
or...
enemies?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I messed up the place.
It's my fault, sorry.
Then go.
No.
I'm used to it. Don't worry about me.
Besides,
you are not responsible for me.
Don't blame yourself.
But I want to stay with you
-I... -This is granny's stuff.
Nothing is missing.
You can't be mean to me anymore.
Never again.
I just want to be alone for a bit.
What did he say to you?
Was he worried for me? Was he afraid that I would not come back?
Did he cry?
I was so afraid I would fall into the hole alone.
Because he scolded me.
I'm sorry!
Sorry?
I was so afraid I would fall into the hole alone.
Are we enemies?
Actually, I want to tell you the truth.
Tell me.
Are we friends?
Your love for Yao Qi is so selfish.
Oh, really?
Was it because I wanted him to step out of his pain?
Or because I gave up the job I love most?
You don't love his grandma, his friends and his sadness.
You only love the love between the two of you.
So I need to love his granny,
his friends, and his sadness?
So what?
He still doesn't love you.
Sorry
But thank you for your suggestions.
I was so afraid I would fall into the hole alone.
If you can't love him properly, then please give him back to me.
Okay.
If he likes you.
A coward has no courage to be your enemy,
let alone to be your friend.
Hello, dad?
You are busy?
No, why?
You can kiss now.
I mean...your boyfriend.
But you can only kiss his face.
Right at this moment, I realized
when things begin to get complicated,
I actually forgot
You must not be disloyal to me and cheat on me.
Did you hang up?
No, I am still here.
Okay, then there is nothing else.
Dad.
That...
I mean...
do you all really like him?
It's your mom. She likes him so much,
as if she's going to be the one getting married.
Then what if...
If...I don't really like him.
I mean...if.
Whether you like him or not is the most important.
Don't bother about us, especially your mom.
Thanks, dad.
Are you crazy?
Okay, I'm hanging up.
Good night.
Granny, I just have to be a kind-hearted person,
am I right?
Eat your breakfast.
Sorry.
I shouldn't have left.
I should've held onto you tightly.
Eat your breakfast.
Breakfast is the most important. Granny says...
We have to listen to Granny.
Oh, yummy!
Thank you.
I should be the one to say thank you.
You didn't know but because of you she nagged at me.
After self-reflecting for the entire night, I have thought it through.
So, I have to thank you.
You listened to Zhou Ji Wei's big words?
That's because the teacher can't see Ji Wei's strong points.
I found out your secret.
♫ The wind is here, the rain has stopped. ♫
Hurry!
I do.
I was so touched, I cried for a long time.
I'm going to be late.
Look at you.
What is this?
Joey.
Are you free today?
What is it?
I want to clean Granny's things.
So pretty.
Why didn't I see Granny wear this before?
When my father was young, he got some sort of award.
Granny was really happy
so she went to Ximending and looked for a national treasure master to do this.
She sat below looking at my father's pin, looking happy.
She said she would wear it
at my wedding.
Then when we get married, I'll wear it.
Then Granny's wish will come true! Is that good?
Why are you acting strange?
It is not tough at all.
It's because I love you.
I am feeling much better.
You finally understand.
Granny wants you by my side forever.
Always in here.
So I'll listen to Granny's words.
Have a good breakfast and sleep early.
I can quit studies and not become a wealthy man,
but I have to be a kind-hearted person.
So I won't lie to you.
Why are you being so serious? It's so scary.
Shao Min,
I loved you.
I remember when I first saw you I was very happy.
- But I... - I don't want to hear it.
I later found out
I was happy to see you only because
you were in the same class as Ji Wei.
Last night, I did something that hurt you.
I kissed Ji Wei.
- Stop! - Because I love her.
- That's enough! - If I hadn't told you,
I probably would have hurt you more.
Every time I see him smile, I want to run up and kiss him.
I don't know when will I be able to save up to buy the plane ticket.
Do you know where I can find a job?
What's wrong with you? You look out of mind.
No?
You are.
Can I ask you a personal question?
Yes.
If one day, I stole a friend's boyfriend,
would you still be my friend?
I hope it is not the one over my area.
No...
Mr Yuan is attached?
Not that.
- I was saying... - Hold on.
Who is it?
Hello, how are you? Yes, I am.
Yes, I'm done.
Okay, I'll hurry.
I got scolded. We will talk again next time.
Take my shift. If there's a problem, call me.
Okay.
Did you guys fight?
No.
Then why did she just leave?
Oh, I'm so sorry!
The socks deodorant won't go faulty, right?
I agree on getting in love.
No matter how old you are, you have to love till you die.
But at work you must be professional.
You can focus on love after work.
It's not that...I...
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize to me.
You have to apologise to the socks deodorant.
I'm sorry.
I won't forgive you.
That time, you were so weak.
You hurt me now?
-I quarrelled with Zhou Ji Wei... -It's not that.
It wasn't stupid and it wasn't Ji Wei's...
It was me.
Because I fell in love with her a long time ago.
So early ago that I couldn't distinguish whether it was friendship or romantic feelings.
I already knew the letters were from her.
But I didn't admit it.
Because Mrs. Zhou was against it.
If I hide from all this, I'll be a loser. You know?
As long as I have Ji Wei, I'm not afraid.
Idiot!
How are you going to make this up to me?
Go die!
Shao Min.
I am really sorry.
You think saying "sorry" will fix everything?
I thought I was bad, but you guys are even worse.
Now it's become love?
I'm not so stupid.
I'm not stupid enough to forgive you guys.
I will always remember you guys!
Why are you hurting yourself for a loser like me?
Don't remember this.
Because I'm not worth your time.
This is all so tiring.
I have no way to love Ji Wei with you.
Let us do our own things.
Good bye.
Dai Yao Qi!!
Dai Yao Qi!
Dai Yao Qi!!!
♫ One path ♫
♫ One path, one situation, sometimes there's no other way ♫
♫ Who can persist until the end? ♫
♫ From the smoke, there's a trace of somebody ♫
♫ Some sort of patchwork figure ♫
Good bye.
♫ I'm all alone in this vast horizon ♫
♫ Sadness and happiness continue to stay in the years ♫
There is no rainbow.
I got a shock.
Why are you wearing the same clothes as yesterday?
I didn't sleep for a whole day.
Don't tell me you came back to work OT after sending me home?
I have to hand the documents over to my boss early in the morning.
Then why did you still accompany me home?
I like it.
Let's not go on a date today. Go back home and rest.
Didn't you say you wanted to tell me something?
It's nothing. We can talk about it tomorrow.
What do you want to eat?
♫The wind is here and the rain has stopped.♫
One ramen?
One Ramen.
And one soy sauce ramen.
One soy sauce ramen.
- That's it for now. - Okay.
Enjoy.
What did you want to say?
How about...
Let's eat and talk.
Then...can I ask you a question? But you can't get mad.
Okay, ask me.
I...can I lie down for a bit?
Oh...yes! Lie down first.
You really won't be mad?
Don't worry.
Thanks.
How can I tell a person who puts me first and doesn't sleep to see me
that "I don't love you"?
Going on with this lie and face the truth.
How can we find
a person who will truly love us?
I brought you water.
Here's some water.
The watch...
and the finger...
Where is it?
I forgot.
Don't leave today, okay?
I promise I won't do anything rush.
Why are you not answering me?
Or do you prefer me to do something rush?
Not yet!
Why are you so cute when you get up?
I'm going home.
What were you going to tell me today?
I'll tell you tomorrow.
Move in and stay with me.
Like this, you can talk to me whenever you want.
Go to sleep, quickly.
Being a little more stupid is rather cute.
I'm back...
Hello?
Hello? Ji Wei? It's Li Jun.
What is it?
Where is Yao Qi?
Isn't he with you?
No, I can't get through his phone.
His girlfriend is here acting crazy.
Let me ask you guys...
what is with you guys?
Stop disturbing the customers.
I'm not creating a scene.
Ta-da!
This was what I designed when I was ten years old.
What happened?
Don't you think it is an extremely beautiful wedding dress?
Not pretty?
I forgot to explain to you.
Over here will be flat.
And a row of jewels.
Help me think of what I should wear, okay?
So annoying.
He will never wear a suit even if it kills him.
I feel that he would definitely look suave when he wears a suit.
Please help me persuade him, okay?
Persuade him.
Okay.
But...if I get married to Dai Yao Qi,
will you feel upset?
Zhou Ji Wei.
Why have we become like this?
My heart is broken.
My heart really hurts.
I feel like I can't breathe anymore.
Here.
What is its name?
I have yet to name it.
He is very obedient and likes to be pat on the head.
When he is afraid of lightning and thunder, hug him.
And what else?
He will go to the toilet and pee.
I meant what else do you need me to take care of?
Take good care of your sister.
Are you okay?
Be careful.
Excuse me, Miss?
Your friend is so drunk...she can't sit in a car.
Thankfully I was quick otherwise she would have vomited in my car!
But we live really far away.
Wait til she is much more sober before hailing a cab.
Oh, sorry.
Wait a second.
How about you take the money first?
No, it's okay.
Be careful on the road.
Thank you.
Are you feeling better now?
I want to drink some water.
Water?
What are you afraid of?
Putting myself in his shoes,
losing such a prominent architect. Standing from my point of view,
I have a sister at least.
I don't want to end up with nothing in the end.
How can it be that bad?
Here, sister.
What about me?
And those brothers in the shop. You are not that lonely.
You are all fine in your mother's womb for 10 months.
Now you are already a grown up, why are you afraid of being alone?
What logic is that?
That's knowledge.
I forgot who said that.
Since my sister passed away, I am all alone.
If being in love calls for death,
You have to really love once before you die.
Because all of us die eventually.
It makes real sense, right?
Mei Mei.
I can help you take care of her.
There is a saying that I must tell you as a friend.
Not wanting to do it is pretending to be good.
Not wanting to be is good and bad.
♫ The wind is here and the rain has stopped pouring ♫
Walk slowly. It's okay.
Anyway, it's still far from daylight.
Do you feel like vomiting?
Or do you want to drink some water?
What's wrong?
I can't walk.
You can't walk?
I will hail a taxi then.
I will vomit.
You will vomit?
Then let me carry you. Wait for a moment.
Stand properly. Quick.
Wait for me.
Okay, get up.
It's okay I can manange.
Come up.
We are going.
I'm very heavy, right?
No, I'm strong and fit.
Thankfully I have you here with me.
Thankfully I'm strong enough.
Ji Wei...
Let's be honest with each other.
We fell in love with the same man.
Only we know ourselves well.
I'm going.
You have yet to say where you are going.
I don't know.
Good bye.
Sister,
where do you think he will be going?
When I saw this pair of rooster volleyball shoes,
I was certain that
I was his so-called ex-girlfriend.
The mother who hurt Dai Yao Qi was my mother.
We lost ten years.
I regretted for not unwrapping the presents earlier.
I sold them after that.
What?
What a waste.
I bought rooster branded volleyball shoes.
Since you already knew the answer,
why did you not be honest and snatch him back?
Because I cannot hurt you.
Then let me be honest.
I chased Dai Yao Qi away.
-What? -I don't want him to appear right in front of me
before I move out.
After you left, he told me everything truthfully.
He doesn't want any lies to be caught in between of us.
He cried and asked for my forgiveness.
I knew it was a moment of rash when he flared his anger at me.
I clearly knew that I would definitely forgive him
but yet I said the opposite.
Because I thought of you.
I thought of you saying
"You are so selfish," and "You don't love him enough."
There should be at least one of us to love him wholeheartedly
and take care of his everything.
So I forced myself and told him
I will never forgive him.
In this life, I will never want to see him again.
This is my selfish way of loving him.
Zhou Ji Wei, now, I am returning him to you.
Please forget everything that I told you today.
Love him with all your heart and dote on him.
Don't worry, I am fine.
I am the almighty Fang Shao Min.
Shao Min, I'm sorry.
I accept your apology
because I am very happy that we are finally friends tonight.
I'm sorry...
Please,
stay further away from Ji Wei!
But I want to fall together with you.
Don't be afraid. I will be here with you.
I will be here with you.
It's not that difficult, right?
It's not difficult at all.
♫ The wind is here and the rain has stopped pouring ♫
Thank you.
Have you eaten your breakfast?
I overslept.
Here.
Thank you.
Whatever for. I am your brother.
Let me ask you.
If the doggy gets high all night, what does it mean?
High all night? Is he like that last time?
Last time?
He is...I just picked him up on the road.
Then, perhaps he is missing home or maybe he is afraid.
He wants you to sleep with him.
Just like the dog Yao Qi picked up on the streets the other time. At first, the dog was behaving high as well.
After that I carried him to the bed and then he stopped being high.
And then he would lie on my body to fall asleep. This will give him a sense of security.
Why didn't Yao Qi tell me earlier? He caused me to...
He went to look for you, right?
Did he say anything to you?
Where did he go?
This...I'm not too sure.
It's okay if you don't want to tell me.
But can you please tell him that Shao Min will forgive him?
Ask him to look for Shao Min else or it will be too late.
But you...
I...
I will move out as soon as possible.
Where are you going to move to?
Do you really want to move in to that architect's house?
Yes.
You...really like him?
Do you want to mail anything?
Look... moving from man's to man's house,
I told you it is not that simple.
It is really that complicated.
But it is not that type of complication you are thinking of.
Complicated?
There must be something wrong with all the men's judgment.
They only look at the outer appearance. Don't you all look at the truth?
Why is the porridge so watery today?
The economy is bad. Don't you read the news?
Ji Wei's boyfriend bought a rice cooker but your mother doesn't know how to use it.
Why is it in Japanese? I can't read Japanese.
He is just being kind. That rice cooker is expensive.
Ask him to come over tonight and teach me how to use it
and also ask him over to eat dumplings as well.
Okay.
Dai Yao Qi?
Hey, what are you doing here?
I'm too hungry. Let me finish eating before talking.
Don't you know how to scoop another bowl? Why did you snatch mine?
Eat.
Yao Qi likes to eat that. Put it in front of him.
Eat. Why are you looking at me?
He is sleeping so soundly.
He did not sleep for the whole night and he cycled for so long.
Of course, he is sleeping so soundly.
He came all the way here just to sleep?
Is it because of Granny Dai so he is a bit insane now?
I think you are the abnormal one.
Let's go. He's sleeping.
This series is amazing. It is called "Bravery".
Why?
Let me tell you, actually, be it work or love...
only we know how tiring
how hardworking and brave we are.
But others may not see it.
So, why don't we reward ourselves?
Being brave is the best gift for ourselves.
Here, try it.
Doesn't it look great?
Look, the Sister Youqing in the serial drama
said she used the money she earned to buy her own bag
and fit it in her own story.
But I say we should use our own money to buy our own presents
because only we know how awesome we are and how worth it it is for ourselves.
We lost ten years.
Only Zhou Ji Wei
can make me feel not afraid.
I really loved you.
Because I can't hurt you.
Liar!
You slept so early last night and woke up so early this morning,
an a whim, I made this.
Not only do you know how to draw houses, you also know how to cook.
I have yet to finish talking.
Other than toasting bread, cup noodles, fried eggs and salads, the rest I do not know how to cook.
So...the food will not taste good for sure.
They look delicious.
I'm quite confident.
Is it not delicious?
No.
It tastes plain.
Really?
Yes, it is.
They sell pickles here.
Good idea.
You are wrapping dumplings?
You almost scare me.
You are so big in size but why do you walk with no sound?
Didn't you say I was a cat?
Nobody can stop me.
The rice is in the steamer.
I learned it from Granny. They should taste about the same.
In the future, if you have anything you want to eat, just come home. I will cook for you.
Although I am not talented,
my culinary skills are not that bad.
Previously, someone introduced a customer to me.
He said he could not lift his right hand so I gave him a massage. After that, he cried.
He said he finally felt the existence of his right hand.
I guarantee you that I will not let Zhou Ji Wei become like my mom.
♫ The wind is here and the rain has stopped pouring ♫
I guarantee you that I will definitely not let Ji Wei become like my mom.
No.
I knew you would say that.
Since young, I have been listening to you.
You scolded me, did not believe in me,
and refused to let me be with Ji Wei. I listened to you.
But ever since my mom left,
I treated you like my mom.
But this time, I don't want to listen to you.
Ji Wei will listen to me.
The reason why I'm kneeling is because I know a mother will always forgive her child no matter what mistakes they make.
She will definitely listen to me.
You will forgive Zhou Ji Wei.
She will listen to me.
You will also forgive me.
You already have a girlfriend!
She has a boyfriend too!
The two of you are living well. Why are you two doing this suddenly?!
I will look for a decent job and live an ordinary life.
I will live an ordinary life with Zhou Ji Wei.
He is an architect and loves Zhou Ji Wei.
Why don't you just be her brother?
Because I don't want to live in sorrow anymore!
You...!
Since I was young, I didn't have the courage
to fight for what I wanted.
If this time I don't fight for what I want, I will have nothing.
My father, mother and my granny.
I don't want to lose Zhou Ji Wei.
I don't want to live a life in fear.
So please let me be selfish this time.
Just this time. Please!
Mother Zhou!
Please give Zhou Ji Wei back to me, okay?!
If Zhou Ji Wei does not live in bliss, I will kill you!
Don't worry. If that day comes,
I will come right in front of you and get killed by you.
Thank you for your bento and pickles.
I'm going to work.
But you have yet to tell me.
What?
What you wanted to tell me yesterday.
Oh that...
It's resolved.
Really?
But...
But what?
I am thinking...
Tell me.
I've decided to move out. I will be going out to look for an apartment with my friend later.
I will help you tonight.
But I have yet to find an apartment.
I insist that you don't pay me rental fees.
What?
-But... -Go and pack your stuff after you've ended work.
I will fetch you later. I'm going to work then.
No...
You will be in charge of dinner tonight.
Shao Min.
Can you come out for a while?
♫ You must be laughing at me ♫
♫ for my unchangeable experience ♫
♫ I will not think of you anymore when I wake up ♫
♫ I will not blame you anymore ♫
♫ When I need an embrace...♫
♫ I say hello to myself, hello ♫
♫ Are you feeling better today? ♫
Actually, I heard the rooster volleyball shoes story.
I also knew a part of the story that you were not aware of.
Dai Yao Qi bought that pair of shoes using the money his mother had remitted from Japan.
Just like what you believe, he will never steal.
And also another part of the story.
Yesterday, all the truth I said yesterday was fake.
What Dai Yao Qi told me was that he still loves you.
Put the last book in the middle.
Try it.
That's right. A little to the side.
Yes, that's right. This is just right. It's so beautiful.
Thank you.
Sell me that "bravery".
He unveiled the ugly truth to me.
Our love was just the memories of you and her.
I made you cry for the entire night.
That was my best revenge.
We were not friends afterall.
P.S. Please give this discounted ring back to Dai Yao Qi.
Because my love does not allow discounts.
Let's fall in together!
You are not done packing?
No...
I'm sorry.
I came too early.
Let me help you.
Let's fall, together!
The ninth type of sorrow:
Add a little more. I thought you prefer strong flavors.
I was afraid you might not be used to it.
Zhou Ji Wei asked me to come here.
She wants me to give this to you.
I asked what she wanted to tell you and she said it's not needed.
For the chemistry between both of you, you should be able to know what she wants to say through this.
Where is she?
She moved over to my place last night.
Zhou Ji Wei is a dummy.
How will she be able to think it through?
Because I gave birth to her so she was born with my smartness and wisdom.
Thank God she didn't inherit your genes.
This does not have anything to do with smartness and wisdom.
The problem is Yuan Fang is not suitable for Zhou Ji Wei!
I think something happened to Zhou Ji Wei.
I know you are...
Believe me.
The best punishment for betrayal is very simple.
It is to never let that person leave you.
♫ For some, it's better to have loved and lost ♫
♫ It would have been better not to take those words seriously back then ♫
♫ Don't worry, don't be troubled If you are lonely, just pray with me ♫
♫ I know... ♫
♫ I can't refrain from our second of happiness ♫
♫ I heard you've found your new destiny ♫
♫ You are happy and I really am proud ♫
♫ I am willing to let go of your hand again ♫
♫ I cannot hear... ♫
