I thought that I could sacrifice anything for my dreams.
But with the current situation in my family
I don't think I can open my own work space.
I'm really sorry
for working all for nothing.
Why are you saying that?
What are you planning to do next?
I don't know. It's a mess right now.
My mom and them
should have told me sooner.
That way, I wouldn't have needed to come back.
Or..
they should have told me to stay in America.
Isn't me working there [and earning money] good?
But did you ever think that perhaps
Grandma and your mom really need you to be together
to protect the family?
Like at my house
my dad puts all his hopes in my older brother
because he's the only son in our family.
In your case, you're the only son in your family.
So now that your family is facing difficulties
they must hope that you'll be someone
who can support the whole family.
So...asking you to come back to get married
might just be an excuse.
In reality, they just really need you right now.
Jiun Jiun.
What you just said makes a lot of sense.
I should worry about my family
not my office.
My sister was right too.
I'm so immature!
I'm still mad at my family for not having the money
to open an office for me.
I'm too childish!
You are childish.
Although you're a few years older than me
sometimes you behave
like a little boy.
But this boy should grow up now.
Now it's time for me to take responsibility for things.
Very good!
I'll give you a chance to take responsibility right now!
Help me finish this.
I can't take any more. I'm too full.
Thank you, Jiun Jiun.
I'll just take this call really quick.
Hello?
Yao Ming,
what's up?
Help?
Immediately?
Oh..ok...I'll come right now.
Jiun Jiun. I have an old friend
who called and told me that
he needs help immediately.
So...I'll take you back home.
If he's in such a rush
we can both go to help him.
Let's go!
I...
Let's go!
Okay.
Isn't it a rush?
Yao Ming
Cool?
Local Reporter Chen Yao-Ming
Assisted Police Solve Fireworks Factory Explosion
You made it in the headlines, dude!
Chen Yao Ming. You're a hero now!
Let me tell you.
My boss recently
revealed he wants to come to Zhang Hua, Taiwan for a tour.
They want to hold a special party just for me
to celebrate this.
Didn't I tell you that you wouldn't have any problems?!
That's great news!
Then why are you in a rush?
Actually...I think for
this tour...
the business
should be given to Mi Mi to do.
I want to invite Mi Mi as my date
for the party.
If I want to invite her
then I should at least dress nice, right?
I can't let her lose her face [this means to be humiliated or embarrassed].
So...I'm looking for your help.
But why didn't you ask Mi Mi to help you choose something?
She has her unique taste and style.
What I'd choose for you
she might not even like it.
Jin Yang. Is Mi Mi, Tian Ru Mi?
This is...?
Jiun Jiun, this is my senior colleague, Chen Yao-Ming.
Yao Ming, this is the daughter of Yi Chun Jiu Zhuang business.
Xu Jiun Jiun.
Hi, I've heard a lot about you from Jin Yang
Really?
But I've never heard him mention you.
You're so strange.
She's so cute and pretty.
How come you don't even mention her?
What...are you afraid that I'll steal her?
Don't make things up.
How am I making it up?
Vinery Prince...
Winery Princess...
perfect match, right?
Let's just make it that.
Li Jin Yang and Xu Jiun Jiun.
Me and Tian Ru Mi.
Perfect! Too perfect!
So did you ask me to come
to pick clothes for you?
Let's go.
Ya ya ya ya ya...
What are you doing?
Come here.
What do you think about this one?
This one?
Don't you think it's too formal?
You're going to travel with your boss.
Wouldn't it be weird if you wore this?
Here. I'll tell you this...
actually...
I want to use this party
to propose to Mi Mi.
Propose!
Lower your voice!
What do you think about this one?
This one? It's okay.
Why don't you try it on?
Excuse me.
I want to try on this outfit.
So that's the senior colleague who likes Tian Ru Mi.
Yep.
Helping him to get Tian Ru Mi...
do you feel uncomfortable inside?
Why should I?
Yao Ming liked Tian Ru Mi for a long time.
They've also known each other for a long time.
Maybe they're already in a relationship.
If they can be together...
then that's very good.
Sir, this one suits you.
Do you want to try it?
Okay.
Thank you.
I think it's kind of weird.
Is it too big or something?
It's like my dad's suit.
Wow, sir, you look very handsome in this suit.
Good enough to be a groom.
Thank you.
Miss, Miss!
I'm not going to try any more.
I just want one that is exactly the same as his.
The whole outfit.
Really worthy to be a world-class master,
my life's happiness all depends on you now.
Don't say that.
Sorry, could you please bring his size?
Thank you.
Then, I'll go and change first.
Yao Ming.
Good luck!
Thanks.
You too.
This is such a mess.
Forget it.
These aren't important.
I need to use the least amount of time to get back to America,
back to a place that belongs to me.
Basically,
I have no objections to any of these things
that you've planned.
I believe in you.
Of course! Who am I?
Tian Ru Mi!
The cases you introduced
I will not allow you to lose face [to be humiliated].
What else do I need to be look out for?
There is another thing.
Mi Mi, did you know that this party
is to celebrate that I've made it into the headlines?
I know!
You know?
Very good, Yao Ming!
As your friend, I'm very honored.
So...
you know why I chose Ba Gua mountain?
Because Ba Gua mountain is now blooming with Tong flower.
Oh yeah.
Tong flower season is the most beautiful time.
I promise, you'll never forget it!
Never forget. Never forget!
We need to make it hard to forget.
Therefore, Mi Mi,
I want you to be my date
so we can attend...
Does the tea taste bad?
Or do you have a cold?
Just a bit.
You know, this dinner is actually
very important to me.
That's why
I shouldn't be your date.
Use your brain to think about it.
I'm a tour guide with your agency.
How could a tour guide be your date?
Isn't that a bit odd?
No, it won't be. It's not strange at all.
I've already told all my colleagues.
This time's tour guide is actually my...
I told them it was my relative.
Exactly!
We're so close it's just like we're family,
right?
That's why I hope that
you can be there to see me walk the stage.
You know a person's special moments
must be shared with the most important person to them
to share in their glory.
You'll have so many friends with you,
and I will be there too, so what are you scared of?
Of course I'll watch you go on the stage to receive your award.
Yao Ming, why are you being so cautious?
I don't even know what to wear.
You know my clothes aren't all that fancy.
No. I think
what you're wearing now is nice.
And what you usually wear is nice too.
I almost forgot!
I have to fetch Yi-Xiang.
Ok.
Thanks, Yao Ming!
Clothes...
What?
Won't it be weird for a tour guide to wear a gown (formal dress)?
How could that be weird?
Does she cosplay when she leads the tourist groups?
Just do her a favor.
Make a cosplay costume.
Let me tell you,
on that day, in front of everyone, I plan
to confess my feelings for her.
and to show the whole world [how I feel about her].
I've already bought the wedding rings too.
Are you serious?
You're really going to propose?
Yeah.
I hope that all of my friends and
all of my colleagues
will be there to see Mi Mi's radiance.
Just like she was that year when she was the
glittering...
touching...
beautiful
Rose Princess.
Ok.
Before I return to America, this will be my present
to you two.
He came back yesterday but he's only sleeping now.
Yeah.
I already sent his breakfast in.
Yeah? Why is he making that dress?
He's been so rushed, staying up all night, working 'til morning making it.
What if he works himself sick?
If Grandma found out, she'd be scolding me again.
I know, right?
What are you two doing there?
Come down... come.
Let's do some exercise for our health.
- Come. - Okay.
Hurry up. Hurry up.
We have to do exercise again?
Do you know why Jin-Yang is doing this?
He's silently protesting!
We didn't allow him to open a workshop.
So, he's sulking in the room
day and night for us to watch!
Grandma,
since Jin Yang wants to be a designer and
we don't have money for him to open his own shop.
Do you want to think about
letting him go back to America?
Will he ever come back if we let him go to America?
You don't want me to have my grandson?
Grandma...
Of course you have your grandson.
It's just that your grandson's grown-up and independent
and wants to go to the US to work.
You can't tie him to you and watch him,
and call him your grandson.
Aiyo.
You don't have a husband yet.
Wait until you're married and have children,
then you can talk to me.
I have $500,000.
I'll give him this $500,000 to open his workshop.
If it's not enough, then we'll talk about it again.
Mom, it's because of Jin Yang,
that you first sold some of the land, then you sold some of the buildings,
and now $500,000...
you're using your resources!
This won't do!
You're spoiling him!
Okay, fine!
Whenever I say something
you guys have many opinions [a lot to say about it].
Okay, okay... Mom, don't be upset.
"Dragon Fly and Phoenix Dance" is the last form.
(To Grandma) Let's finish.(To others) How annoying!
Come. Follow along, follow along.
I don't know what Tian Ru Mi
will look like wearing this.
Will she like it?
Wow, it's so pretty!
Mimi, this color really suits [looks good on] you.
You have such good taste.
Wait a minute! Try it on, try it on.
There are also shoes to go with it.
There are shoes too?
You've even matched it with shoes!
Yao Ming, you are too thoughtful!
It's nothing much.
What do you mean it's nothing much?
If Mimi's brother-in-law
is half as considerate as you, that would be good.
Hurry up and try it on!
I'll be so embarrassed if you say that.
You- you don't like it?
No, no, no.
Did you hit the jackpot?
This looks very expensive.
No, no. I had it specially made by a friend.
Whoa!
Then, I can't. That's even more expensive.
How could I afford something so expensive?
- You should take it back and return it.- Hey, Mi!
Mi Mi.
Here. Hurry up. Take it back.
Frankly, it's really not that expensive. I swear, it's really not expensive.
Also,
it was made especially for you.
Even if I tried to return,
I wouldn't know who to return it to.
Exactly! Exactly!
Don't waste his effort.
In the end, Yao Ming is doing this for himself. Am I right?
You're probably hoping the Saturday dinner
will have a perfect ending.
Right?
He's helped you out so many times.
What's wrong with you helping him out for once?
Just bring Yi Xiang, eat a good meal,
and have some fun for a day.
Doesn't that sound good?
Fine.
I'll go with you and
share the moment of glory with you.
I'll also thank you for supporting me all these years.
Thank you.
Why are you still standing here?
Go try it on! Hurry up.
- Go on now. - Go try it...
- Hurry up and try it on! - I don't need to!
I can tell, just by looking at it, that it will fit me.
I'm going to pick up Yi Xiang.
I'm going now. You two go ahead and chat.
Mi Mi.
Don't get so discouraged.
Just put in a little more effort.
As Mi Mi's sister...
knowing that there is someone
dependable wanting to look after her
really makes feel relieved.
Really?
With you saying this to me
I'm definitely going to work harder
a hundred times...a thousand times more.
Mi ah,
there are a lot leftovers tonight.
Did Yi Xiang not eat?
It's all because Yao Ming bought him chocolates.
He ate too much.
What are you doing just sitting here?
Nothing much, just daydreaming.
I'll say this: Yao-Ming
really loves little Yi-Xiang.
He looks after him like he's his own child.
Right?
He really has feelings (sincere) for you.
You should treat him better.
I do.
Didn't I say I'd go to his dinner party?
Don't play stupid with me.
You know what I'm talking about.
Sis, you know very well that
Yao-Ming is an only child. His father is an artist.
Although the family isn't well off [wealthy],
they're still well-known here [they have a good reputation].
How could they accept someone like me?
Why is that impossible?
Has Chen Yao Ming's father
ever said that he doesn't like you?
What do you think?
How many people are like me
having a baby at eighteen?
Yi Xiang doesn't know what his father looks like,
he has no idea.
He has never seen him.
Do you think that's normal?
Yes, you aren't normal.
You're pitiful. Extremely pitiful!
You might as well continue to moan and groan like this.
So much time has passed.
If you don't think about much for yourself,
at least think about Yi Xiang.
He really needs a father.
There aren't many good men out there anymore.
You wouldn't have to worry about providing for yourself
and raising your little boy.
He's willing to treat you well
and to treat your son well.
Right?
Where else can you find a man like that?
Right! A good man!
Someone who would accept being a step-father is a a good man.
If I meet someone like that, I should
just get married and never let him go. I shouldn't think twice about it.
That's what you meant, right?
Tian Ru Mi,
you're directing your anger at the wrong person.
The one who you should be angry at
is the one who left you!
Not me!
Whoa! (You) look like a princess!
Don't you want to try it on?
I want to see [how it will look on you].
Your mom is not a Princess anymore.
Why should I wear princess clothes?
Why not?
Haven't you always been called a princess?
Because I never found my Prince.
I know. I know.
When all the flowers blossom in the Spring...
with petals falling like snowflakes, and then...
Then a prince in shining armor
will appear before you.
Oh! Please marry me
Princess Mi Mi.
Oh, my prince!
I've finally found my little prince!
Hurry up.
Don't hit me. You're too heavy!
- Hurry up and get up! - No.
Hurry up.
I'll just be a princess for a day.
Very heavy...
The dinner party should start any moment now.
Chen Yao Ming,
if Tian Ru Mi is really what you want
you can do it!
Jin Yang, you got an express mail message
from a Taipei travel agent. What is it?
A while back, I went to apply for my passport in Taipei.I realized it couldn't be done in a day,
so I asked a travel agent to handle it for me.
Jin Yang, if you had the money to open a company
would you leave?
Opening a studio here would only be temporary.
In the end, I'd still return to the US.
Grandma is giving you 500, 000 to open your company.
Sis, help me out with something.
Keep this money for me for now.
Return it to Grandma after I go back to the US.
You really want to go back to the US?
That can't happen.
We'll be in big trouble.
We all know how Grandma is. She'll just complain for a few days then she'll be alright.
I know that you and mom can handle it.
You always pass the hot potato to us.
Once I return to the US, nobody will steal YOUR vineyard from you.
My vineyard?
This vineyard belongs to the family. What are you talking about?
It'll be the end of us if Grandma heard you.
Why are you so nervous about it?
I'm saying this in private.
Sis, in my heart
this vineyard will always belong to you.
Look.
Those racks, and that coffee,
those are all your ideas.
I have no right to compete with you for this vineyard.
I never thought about competing for it.
I've only hoped that the family could live more comfortably.
Then, from now on, you should seriously think
that this vineyard will be yours. Li Ruo Yuan's.
Nobody can take it from you. Not even me.
If you lose it because of obeying Grandma
then I am truly a hopeless playboy.
It's not important whom the vineyard belongs to.
Jin Yang, I support you.
You can go back to the US.
After all, you spent so much money there
You'd better earn that money back, like a man!
Alright. Don't worry. I won't disappoint you.
I'm really happy that you came back.
You've grown up.
Can I be honest with you?
What?
Do you know why our family keeps losing customers?
Why?
Because your coffee doesn't taste good at all!
Let's go. I'll teach you how to brew coffee.
For real?
Yes, it tastes very bad.
Is it that bad?
Sis, try it out!
Amazing!
This is so good!
I've been making bad coffee for so long. Why didn't you tell me?
I'm in big trouble.
My coffee was a disaster. That's why customers stopped coming!
Quickly! Tell me how to make it again. I need to take note of all the secrets.It's okay. Just take it easy.
I'll pass on all the tricks and tips that I know to you.
Jin Yang.
You said you want to go back,
but you've been hiding out in your room recently.
You weren't drawing, but making clothes.
Is it work-related?
No.
It was just a beautiful gift for a friend.
It also acts as a perfect ending
to this trip home.
My dreams from the past
have come to an end.
In the future,
our wonderful lives
will have a fresh new start.
2012 Zhang Hua News ConferenceOutstanding News Reporter Award Event

No.
Spring...snowflakes...Prince Charming
Prince Charming exists in the world!
Little monster, what are saying?
You've been watching too many movies.
You look very beautiful today.
Me?
This is what Yao Ming wanted me to wear
saying that it's for his award event.
It feels odd wearing this while I'm working.
But you're still beautiful.
Very beautiful.
What's wrong with you today?
Did you eat too much candy?
Tian Mi Mi!
Why are you here?
Shouldn't you be in Qing Jing Farm?
Qing Jing Farm...
Qing Jing Farm is not for today.
I'll tell you about it some other time.
Mi Mi, I'm about to give my speech.
Let's go back, okay? Oh, okay..
Wait a minute!
Your friend's here. Let's go together.
No need. I have things to do. I'm leaving.
Where are you going?
Aren't you like brothers?
It's his time to shine.
Isn't that right, Yao Ming?
Yes.
Alright, alright. Just come on.
Yes! Uncle Jin Yang, let's go!
Uncle Jin Yang, come on!
Don't worry, bro!
Just wait, I'll take good pictures of you!
Thanks!
Okay! Let's issue the Outstanding News Reporter Award.
While on duty, local news reporter, Chen Yao Ming,helped solve a major criminal case,
- helping to protect the peace in our society.- Allow me. You go and keep Yi Xiang company.
Yi Xiang is on his own.
Look over here, say cheese!
Good, very good.
- Yao Ming, congratulations!- Thank you. - Yao Ming, Congratulations!
Thank you! Thank you!
What's wrong with him today?
Uncle Jing Yang
didn't take the wrong medicine. He's always a good person.
Bro, congratulations!
Thank you!
Now, please catch this historical moment for me.
The proposal march!
Alright. Alright.
Go!
Chen Yao Ming!
I'm so thankful that you made our office proud. Cheers!
Yao Ming, he is...
My junior from high school.The Chief Editor.
You look very familiar.
Have we met somewhere?
I don't think we've met before. I used to live abroad.
Is that so? He studied design in America.
It's not possible that you've met before.
Oh a designer, for which brand?
I was in the US. New York.
I worked for quite a few different brands.
But now I want to make my own.
You know the dress Mi Mi is wearing? He designed it.
Wow! it's so beautiful!
I remember now!
You are John Lee, isn't that right?
John Lee! Yes, I'm John Lee.
It really is John Lee!
We reported on him before.
The US Designer Award winning fashion designer.
Yes, that's me.
He's John Lee!! The one who won the US Fashion Award this year.
John Lee, I have seen your work before.
- Really? Thank you.- Yao Ming, so John Lee is you junior from school ?!
Yup yup, that's right.
Yao Ming, someone famous coming back to this - their hometown - is big!
Why didn't you say anything?
This is a news exclusive!You should have organized some kind of an interview!
Actually, it's not his fault.
I came here for personal reasons so I didn't plan to give any interviews.
You just received the award.
You're the pride of Taiwan.You should get press (positive news coverage) coming back here.
Since you're a close friend of Yao Ming's,
would you accept our invitation for an interview?
Yeah, that's right! Please let us interview you!
Okay!
If Yao Ming is the interviewer, it's okay with me
because he is the one who understands me the most.
Of course!
Yao Ming is the only one who has the capability to interview you.
- Am I right, everyone?- Yeah!
In fact, today, I am the one who is proud, because of my friend.
He's a big hero, compared to me.
Big hero! Then we should toast!!
Cheers to this big hero!
- There's no more alcohol. - Let's go get more!
May I ask how long you'll stay here?
= This is our...- Pleased to meet you.
- John, allow me to introduce you to our associate editor. - Sure sure.
Mommy, Look! Uncle Jin Yang is so young.
You can really earn a lot, and become famous by painting and designing.
It really can happen.
So he's that famous!
I thought he was just a playboy.
I guess I didn't know much.
MiMi, I finally have some time to discuss an important matter with you.
I... I know!
I know, it's about time.
Your boss is about to go right?I'll go and see if Brother Guli is ready.
Hey, you, Yao Ming. You weren't too bad huh?You did well today!
Yi Xiang, let's go.
MiMi!...MiMi...
Spring...snowflakes...Prince Charming
Prince Charming really exists!
Mi Mi, ah! Mi Mi!
Go in and shower, quickly! Okay.Help me out by putting away my backpack.
Chen Yao Ming, what is with you today?
Mi Mi,
I hope you will marry me.
Yao Ming,
I can't promise to marry you.
Don't say anything. You haven't even seen the ring yet.
It'll be the same whether or not there's a ring.
I can't accept you.
Why not? All these years, you're the only one who's been in my heart -
What do you mean, why? What's wrong with you?
How are we even possible?
I'm a single mother. I have a son.
You're the only son in your family.
Your family is well-known here.
If you marry me..., wouldn't it be ridiculous?
No, you think too much. Moreover, my dad never forbade me liking you.
- The most important thing is that I love you. - Stop!
Don't say that word.
- Love? - You're still saying it!
- I've always loved you! - Shut up!
Listen to me.
Yao Ming,
You've been very good to Yi Xiang and me.
If it weren't for you encouraging me, I might not have been able to have Yi Xiang.
Also, in all these years,
you've supported me in so many wayss,
I might not have had the courage to come back to Zhang Hua. I understand all of this.
Chen Yao Ming,
you
are a very dear friend to me.
You will definitely find a girl who is a hundred times - a thousand times better than me.
There's no such person. In my heart, YOU ARE the best!
The most important thing is
I don't have romantic feelings for you.
Yi Xiang is waiting for me.
I'm heading inside now.
Chen Ba Glass Art Gallery
The newspaper's publisher contacted me to set up the Interview.
That's when I realized you'd already skipped work for 3 days.
Thanks for accepting the interview.
You got rejected, didn't you?
It was just as you predicted it'd turn out...
The award ceremony...
turned into the most embarrassing day of my life.
Yao Ming,
you must've known in your heart that the chance of success wasn't high.
So that's why you waited this long to say anything.
I just really don't understand why Mi Mi doesn't like me.
What's hard to understand about that? Who doesn't get rejected?
Have you ever been rejected by a girl you liked for sixteen years?
Your heart hurts!
Isn't this good?
Look. You kept looking at this rose for 16 years. But now, you have a chance to look at other flowers!
Even if it's a rose, there are thousands of different types.
But there's only one Mi Mi.
Yao Ming, believe me.
Your heart won't hurt as much once you've fallen for another girl.
The moment you move on, perhaps
the one that's destined for you will appear.
No.
Just because she's not here, doesn't mean she doesn't exist. You have to go out and look around.
Let's go. I'll take you.
Let's go. I'll take you out to have fun.
- Come on. Let's go. - I don't want to.
- I don't want to! - Let's go!
- Let's go! - Fine!
- Let's go. - Don't pull me.
I covered this exclusive interview. So...
not only you can see it on TV but you can also see it
in tomorrow's newspaper. About half of the page will be about Jin Yang.
Is that so? That's great!
Ruo Yun, you've got to remember to buy 10 newspapers tomorrow.
I'm going to fill up the cafe bulletin board with the article!
Aiyo, A-Won, what took you so long to answer the phone?
I have to tell you, our Jin Yang is on TV!
Yes, yes! Channel 28!
Go take a look!
Right, right! Bye, bye!
Let me make another call.
Mom, come come!
Oh, okay, it's starting!
Ruo Yun! Move it, move it. You are blocking my view!
John Lee, we all know that you were born in Zhang Hua and grew up in Zhang Hua.
You went to the US to study Fashion Design after finishing high school here.
Did your family support you all the way through?
Of course. My family motivates me.
Let's talk about your life in the US.
Also, what are your thoughts now that you've received the Fashion Award?
My thoughts...
Mom, come quick! Look!
Chinese designers in America have to put forth a lot more effort to be able to compete with the local designers.
Having received this award, I can only say...
that hard work really pays off.
Mom! Uncle Jin Yang is on TV!
This trip to Taiwan..is totally for my family.
I don't have any new products, but I recently collaborated with a child in making a design for a bus.
This bus is called Tian Mi Bus.
Mom, he's talking about our bus!
Let's talk about what kind of special bus attracts the attention of John Lee.
This bus has some kind of sweet power.
Oh, that's as stated by the owner of the bus.
The owner is one of the Zhang Hua Rose Princesses. According to her, whoever's been on the bus...
can receive some sort of sweet happiness.
When did I say something like that?
- Are you planning to produce more work? Or have you decided to stay in Taiwan? - No.
No. I don't think so.
I still have plans in America and plan to go back.
You... You! This bad child!
You're going back to America?!
Why are you going back to America?!
Ma! You've got high blood pressure!
Don't be upset! Don't be upset!
Grandma, don't be like this!
Grandma.
There's you... Chen Yao-Ming!
He wants to go to America! You didn't stop him!
You even wished him Bon Voyage!
Grandma, that's not what I meant!
What excuse do you have?
Tell me! Tell me!
Why did you lie to me?
What's your excuse? What's your excuse?
Grandma!
It's all because of you!It's all because of you!
Why are you going back to America?
You're causing Grandma's high blood pressure. You do know?!
High blood pressure?
Grandma, stop playing these childish games!
How can you speak to Grandma like that?
You're a bad child!
I gave you money to start a workshop.
You still want to return to America.
- What's your excuse?- Grandma!
I told you'all before that I wanted to return to America to make money.
I do not want to use our family's money.
Just say no more.
- Mom! - Grandma! Grandma! Grandma!
Hurry up and start the car to send her to the hospital!
Hurry up, start the car... Hurry up!
Be careful!
Careful... careful...
Hospital
I think,
you better not go back for now, okay?
Don't say anymore.
Sis, you don't say anymore.
Do you want to tell me what's that all about?
What's what was all about?
That Lee Jin Yang.
Oh.
It's nothing.
I heard Yao Ming proposed to you.
You rejected Yao Ming because...
of that Lee Jin Yang?
It's nothing to do with Lee Jin Yang.It's that Yao Ming and I are not compatible.
If you and Yao Ming aren't compatible, who is?
As compare to that Li Jin-Yang,
I've already told you, regarding Lee Jin Yang,
there is no relation.
no relation? Why did he talk about your bus on the TV? And talk about you, the Rose Princess?
That's so obvious. He was promoting his own art work.
And it just happened that his work is on my bus.
What?
He's not trying to pursue me!
You are so annoying! Always asking me who I'm going to marry.
I care more about how much money I'll earn tomorrow than getting married.
It better be so!
You are not young any more. On top of that you are a mother.
If you still have bad taste in men, not even God can save you.
It's none of your business. Aren't you annoying!
Can't even take a single advise!
She's so full of nonsense!
Lee Jin Yang is really strange,
saying how he designed the Tian Mi bus.
What nonsense.
No way...
is he asking me for the designer fee?
Yes, yes.
Fine fine, no problem.
How many people do you have in total?
Fifteen people? Alright, fifteen people.
What date?
The seventeenth this month?
Alright, let me check if the seventeenth is available.
Seventeenth...
Yes, there is! There is a space just for you!
Hello? This is Tian Mi Bus's Tian Ru Mi!
Yes, yes, yes.
Mi Mi, come here. Alright then.
How many people?
Willy,
Two submarine sandwiches, please.
Ten people, is it? What date?
Alright, see you then. Bye bye!
Look, Mi Mi. We hit the jackpot this time!
Look at this Tian Mi Bus. That Lee Jin Yang is like a magician.
He only drew a few lines on it. It turned out to be so gorgeous and cute.
Plus, our e-mail got filled up by lots of enquiries just because he mentioned a little bit about us on the TV.
Mi Mi, this is even better than back then when you were very successful in the Travel Agent before. Isn't it right?
Brother Guli...
Don't you think, Lee Jin Yang is going to ask me for the designer fee?
Designer fee!?
Yeah.
I must come up with a plan
Also, he was the one drawing on top of Yi Xiang's picture without permission. What's that to do with me?
With...
If he is going to be unreasonable, I will...
Sue him for breaking the Copyright Law.
Sue...Sue him for breaking the Copyright Law.
That's right, breaking the Copyright Law.
Yi Xiang's Copyright!
Copyright?
There you are, submarine sandwiches!
Thank you, Willy.
You're thinking too much! Let's eat.
Sis, where did you and Yi Xiang go?
Yeah, I can't find you at the office.
Why didn't you say something before you took him to have Grass Jelly drink?
Alright, at the entrance-
Grandma! Grandma, don't be like this!
Get out, get out!
Grandma! Alright, alright.
Grandma.
Go!
Grandma!
Stop calling me!
Grandma, aren't you being too much. It's not like Lee Jin Yang did something bad.
He just wants to go back to America to work.
Did you hear they call him the pride of Taiwan? Aren't you proud?
So he can be arrogant after becoming famous?
He doesn't care about us. He doesn't care about me.
I don't want him to earn money! I don't want him to be famous!
All I want is for him to get married.
Grandma...
You can't get someone to carry on the family name by being angry.
If you keep being like this, we'll even lose Yin Yang.
I don't care if we lose him!
Mi Mi!
What are you doing here?
Oh right, I came to pick up Yi Xiang.
Grandma!
Grandma, what's the matter?
Grandma.
Mi Mi.
What's wrong? Not feeling well?
No, it's just that I'm old and my blood pressure rises easily.
Don't worry, after a day or two I'll be out of the hospital.
I just heard you say that you're here to pick Yi Xiang.
Is he in the hospital again?
No! My sister works here at the hospital.
I don't have time to pick Yi Xiang up after school, so my sister picks him up.
Oh, that's how it is.That's right.
Grandma,
if it's high blood pressure, don't get so angry. It's no big deal.
I'm going to go out to wait for sister and Yi Xiang.
Oh, alright.
Get some more rest!Alright.
Alright, go do what you must.
Thank you.
Bye bye!
I didn't think from behind your glorified stance,
you'd also have hardships because of no support from family.
Yes, sister?
You've arrived?
Alright, I'll be right over.
Bye bye.
It's never easy to keep pursuing your dream.
Take care. Do your best!
Take the food home.
Taking it home huh?
Jin Yang.
Grandma!
Grandma, stop being angry at me.
Grandma, sorry I've arrived late.
Mi Mi, it's fine! Sorry, we've made you come out of your way.
Not at all.
Grandma, please let me give you a lift.
I am not good enough for that.
I'm going to take the bigger one, Tian Mi Bus, today.
Aiyo, what grandma meant is that she never been on my Tian Mi Bus before.
Listen, this Tian Mi Bus does have magic power.
I promise Grandma will live longer than 120 with health.
Alright, good!
Although, I have to pick up Yi Xiang. He only has half day today so I'm going to make a quick stop, okay?
Alright then, let's pick up Yi Xiang. We'll all go.
Okay, okay.
The way she dressed up is so pretty
Dancing and keeping the guests company
Red neon lights
Blinking
Mi Mi
You might not like to hear this but I'm just going to say it.
It's not good to have Yi Xiang going to the hospital so often.
Grandma Bao Yu...I...
I know, you don't have time because of work.
But it brings bad luck if the kid goes to the hospital often.
How about this, if you have no time. You can bring him to my house, I'll help look after him!
No way, that's too imposing!
Yi Xiang is naughty.
No way!
He's so smart and obedient!
He's exactly the same as Jin Yang when he was little.
Exactly the same?
Don't worry, I'm talking about when he was little.
You've taught Yi Xiang so well.
When he grows up, he won't be like my rude grandson.
Doesn't have any sense.
Grandma, come. Sing!
Come now, sing!
Great Grandma Bao Yu, stop moving again!
I can't draw like this.
Okay . . .
Was this note written by you?
How do you know?
How are you so sure that I wrote it?
Because when I woke up I saw you.
I've been thinking recently,
have I become such a hateful person?
But then I thought some more,
the hateful one isn't me.
It's you.
Look here,
you've angered an elder so much she went to the hospital.
What you're saying is true.
In order to chase your dream, it's not a easy task.
Thank you for your encouragement.
Actually, I have to tell you thank you too.
Also, I'm sorry.
Thanks for advertising for our Tian Mi Bus.
I'm sorry . . .
I slapped you last time.
Also, I thought you were just a playboy.
I have no common sense at all. I had no idea you are so famous.
I'm not as great as you said.
I still have a long way to goto become a famous designer.
I understand.
I understand what you're feeling right now.
When I gave birth to Yi Xiang,
nobody supported me,
including my family.
They wouldn't allow me to give birth to him.
Of course I know that my mother worried about me. That I'd be burdened.
She worried if child would give me trouble in my life.
But they didn't understand one thing.
When I lost my Love, Yi Xiang...
is my only hope to carry on in my life.
That's why I was determined to give birth to him.
The result was...
Everything my mum predicted happened.
I didn't go to college. I didn't pursue my dream.
I also haven't dated since.
Every dream I had since I was twenty,
I've given them up.
I've given up my livelihood.
All I have left is Yi Xiang.
What about Yi Xiang's father? What kind of person is he?
You loved him so much...
that you were willing to give birth in that situation.
Love, it was.
Ai, isn't it like that with all 18 year old?
Thinking love means the whole world.
Even though I was very scared back then, what if I gave birth to the child,
and the child's father still didn't show up?
But I'm even more scared now, that if one day,
the child's father came back. What would happen?
Yi Xiang would be gone.
My love would be gone.
I would lose everything.
Then do you regret it?
No.
Maybe I have complained a little.
But I don't regret at all.
If I put everything on one side,
comparing it to Yi Xiang...
For me, Yi Xiang is the most important.
The current me is not afraid of anything.
I can have nothing...
but Yi Xiang.
Although it's not the best choice
But I think
You are right.
Thank you.
But I still regret about one thing.
What is it?
My mom.
For Yi Xiang's sake I left my mom.
Until she passed away
We were still holding a grudge against each other.
You know, sometimes I think
If I tolerated a bit more about my mom's blame everyday.
Tolerated all the strange looks from the neighbours.
Doesn't matter what I just stayed with my family.
Maybe I wouldn't have any regrets.
Why are we talking about me now?
The thing I want to tell you is,
your dream is like your baby.
This small.
It's currently growing.
Also it's very likely, that it continue to grow little by little.
So if you were asked to give up that dream, you would not agree.
I just wanted to let you know
Don't ever do something you may regret.
Tian Ru Mi!
Give me a reason to stay.
Subtitles brought to you by the Once Upon A Love Team at Viki
Tian Ru Mi!
Give me a reason to stay.
The start of my dream, was because of you.
I saw the beautiful you 10 years ago.
It gave me a reason to pursue my dream.
So right now, can you give me another reason? A reason to stay?
Alright.
Again, for my sake.
Who says you have to go to America to fulfill the dream of becoming a designer?
Can't you do that in Taiwan?
You can't make it come true in Taiwan?
You've seen the me of ten years ago,
and you've seen the current me.
My changes, my burdens,
and my regrets.
If you want me to give you a good reason to stay
The best reason is my changes.
Oh well, it is a very difficult task to reach our dreams.
But you should never sacrifice people you love.
Believe me,
it's not worth it.
This shows that you have thought about composition of the picture.
Do you know what composition means?
I don't understand.
How about this, whenever I have time I'll teach you some techniques about drawing.
That's great! Mom doesn't allow me to take drawing classes.
She says it's expensive. But with Uncle Jin Yang, we won't have to spend money!
Don't trick little kids.
Aren't you going back to America?
I'm not going back.
Yi Xiang has a lot of talent for drawing, just like me when I was young!
Uncle Jin Yang, are you my father?
What are you talking about!?
Based on my observation between you two...there are a lot of clues.
Observation...who taught you to say that?
Didn't you meet each other 10 years ago?
Otherwise why Uncle Jin Yang knew you are a Rose Princess?
Also, you argue all the time.
Huh? Argue all the time?
What sort of clue is that?
It's always been that way! At school, when my classmates like on another,
they like to bully each other.
Both of your behaviors are just like theirs.
On top of that, Great Grandma Bao Yu said
Uncle Jin Yang and I are exactly the same.
I like drawing, Uncle Jin Yang also likes drawing.
We both love grass jelly drinks.
Tell me the truth, are you my father?
-No! -Yes!
You're really my dad?
Yeah.
Lee Jin Yang!
Don't say random things.
Yi Xiang, if you're willing, I'll be your father!
Your God father...
God father?
You are really full of nonsense.
Why not?
Like what Yi Xiang said, we have a lot in common.
And grandma likes him very much.
I thought you were my father.
But...
It's okay if you are just my God father. I should call you, Daddy Jin Yang.
Tian Yi Xiang
Don't say random things, okay?
Hey, this is something between Yi Xiang and me.
Yi Xiang, do you know why you didn't have a father when you were little?
Because you are the most unique.
Look, everyone else can't choose their own father,
but you can.
You can choose who you think is the most coolest to be your father.
Isn't that great?
Daddy!
SonIt hurts.
I'm your daddy from now on.
Okay!
I promise now that I'm your daddy...
I will never ever leave you. I'm your daddy, always your daddy.
