- Once upon a time, I wished with all my heart -
- Alone, I walked across the vast world -
- Later, I realized that as long as I’m by your side, -
- even the most desolated days have romantic night skies -
- I am strolling about the distant starlight -
- The light radiating at the moment we meet is brighter than the galaxy -
- I am strolling about the dazzling look in your eyes -
- Even if our love is a dream, we won’t mention the sadness of parting -
- The corner of my heart shines the brightest hopes -
- With you in my heart, I don’t fear years of turmoil -
- I am strolling about the dazzling look in your eyes -
- Even if our love is a dream, we won’t mention the sadness of parting -
[The Starry Night, The Starry Sea]
- Episode 21 -
That's right An Zuo made me do this
Because while doing business, I was manipulated by him
I owe him a huge debt
If you didn't have the money, you could have asked Dad for it
I couldn't open my mouth to ask!
- Why?!|- Because I am man!
Buyan, I can't always go to your father whenever I encounter an issue
I don't want your father to look down on me
Do you understand?
Buyan, everything that I've done was for us
For our future!
Buyan, listen to me An Zuo has already agreed
After this is all done, he won't make me do anything else!
The debt I owe him will be completely erased
I won't help him do anything any more
Believe me! Forgive me, okay?
I know you are really angry
How about How about you hit me?
- Hit me!|- I don't want to Let go of me!
Then I'll hit myself
No! I'll forgive you
Do you really forgive me?
But you must promise me This is the very last time, okay?
I promise you
This is absolutely the very last time
The very last time
Thank you, Buyan
Thank you
Where's Xiao Luo? How is she?
Xiao Luo is fine
Why did you poison Xiao Luo and I?
I'll be honest with you The truth is
I was never blood related to Bai Yihan
I was also never suffering from any sort of terminal disease
I'm just a small fan of yours
I happened to fall crazily in love with you
I dreamed that one day I would be with you
Sorry
Then how did you know?
True love's kiss How did you know
that the spiritual pearl is in Shen Luo's body? And how did you know,
to use barrenwort and deadly nightshade to deal with me?
I
You're lying!
Wu Julan
Talk! Who is giving you orders?
It was me
My master
Regulus, drink this Then you'll get better
Why did you do it?
Our family's mission
is to protect you and allow you to live on
So, you decided on your own
to have Michelle plot against me
and make me steal the spiritual pearl in Shen Luo's body?
This is the only way you can live on!
Causing the woman I love to die in order to lengthen my life,
this is not helping me!
Master! Please punish me!
All of this was my plan
Liangliang didn't know anything about this
I also forced Michelle to do this!
If Xiao Luo really did die,
do you think I'd peacefully enjoy this thousand years of life?
I would only live within pain, regret,
and selfishness! I'd be in a living hell for life!
Regulus!
Look upon the fact that Granny has been loyal to you all her life,
and spare her please!
Xiao Luo is my woman
If you dare to do anything to her from now on,
I won't let you off lightly!
Before you do anything else,
you'd best consider
if you are able to withstand my fury
I understand, Master
I will prescribe a new medicine for you right now
Where did you guys go so early in the morning?
Why didn't I see you as soon as I got up?
Wu Julan, are you feeling ill?
Last night he was feeling a bit ill,
but right now he is fine
Where do you feel unwell? I'll pour you some water
I'm fine
Just sit next to me
Michelle, honestly!
Wu Julan is sick, and he still ran out so early in the morning
You're sick, too!
I'm not sick
So you're a fake?
I've always admired Wu Julan a lot
That's why I did such silly things
You're not only good at writing stories, you're good at acting, too!
You got us all fooled!
Sorry
Forget it It's good that you're stepping back now
But if we look at it from a different angle,
that means I have good taste!
The man I chose is a desired product!
And he only chose me to be his real girlfriend!
My mood has suddenly gotten a lot better thinking about it!
It's like winning the lottery
Xiao Luo,
it was you and Wu Julan who made me believe
that there really is something in this world that can surpass life and death
That is love
Wu Julan really loves you
Of course
Granny,
Michelle bought a boat ticket to leave the island this afternoon
Why didn't you tell me first that you were sending Michelle?
If I told you, I'm afraid it'd have been discovered long ago
But what about now? Your plan didn't do a thing!
You're wrong My plan didn't fail
You and Michelle were just lead astray
Love is the most amazing magic in this world
It can make a selfish person altruistic
The weak become strong
The greedy one becomes kind
The smart become stupid
You two are no different
Granny, shouldn't you really think it over?
Perhaps you're wrong
Perhaps I used the wrong method,
but my motives will never be wrong
- Granny!|- Enough!
I don't want to discuss this topic with you!
I just received news that the black knife has been stolen!
What?
It must have been An Zuo!
The black knife was stolen
Now, Regulus has also been poisoned by the Angel's Trumpet
The Black Wizard Society is forcing us back step by step
An Zuo is in New York
On this island,
he must still have his subordinate here!
Since the attack incident from the last birthday feast,
I have felt that An Zuo has a subordinate here
But I've never found any clues I'll continue pursuing this matter
This has to do with Regulus's safety You must hurry!
Yes
Brother Tou Brother Tou!
Listen to me! I found that person!
Then why didn't you bring him to me?
No! That person is too old! When I found him,
these pictures were all that was left!
They're upside down!
Listen to me, Brother Tou
I got it! Don't worry, I'll give you enough money
No! That's not what I want to say!
Just what do you want to say?
I wanted to ask did Buyan get sick after going back last night?
She has been looking pretty unhappy lately
Buyan is doing very well
That's good
Yiyang, as a human,
the most important thing is to know yourself well
Don't even think about a girl like Buyan
I know I don't match her
But I have a heart to make her happy!
Let me tell you The only one who can make her happy
is me, Zhou Buwen
No, wait!
No! Don't you like Shen Luo?
You can't make Buyan be the spare tire
What did you say?
You two are family
Zhou Buwen
Last evening, there were some people from the neighborhood who saw you go up to the rear of the mountain
Is there a rule that I can't go up the mountain at night?
Last night, Wu Julan was attacked by someone on the mountain
I'm thinking,
about you going up the mountain and Wu Julan being attacked,
could these two things be connected?
You have such a wild imagination
Do you have something to do with this, too?
Let me tell you I didn't see Wu Julan last night
Then why did you suddenly go up the mountain?
- I went--|- For a date
My big brother and I wanted to find a romantic spot
and do some romantic things
How about it? You have thoughts on that?
Wu Liangliang, if you don't believe, you can go and ask some people in the neighborhood
I go wherever my brother goes
What is it?
Dr Wu, you're interested in what happened last night?
Big Brother, let's go Don't bother with her
I will only help you this time
Why are you suddenly feeling ill?
How do you feel now?
Not that great
Where do you feel ill?
Here?
A bit higher
Here?
A bit higher
Here?
Alright, you lied to me?
I feel a lot better now
Really? In that case, do you want to be strengthened a little more?
Are you really okay?
My self-healing capability is very good
What capability are you very good at?
And you say you lived over a thousand years and have super powers!
You always make me worry
I thought you were going to die last night you got sick!
Xiao Luo,
if I really am gone one day, what will you do?
Don't you live forever?
Last time, you even used three paintings to provoke me
You said that even when I became a wrinkly old woman,
you'd still be a fresh faced handsome man
Everything has a lifespan
Even the planet of life and reproduction
will disappear into nothing one day
Don't worry! I definitely won't live longer than you!
After a hundred years, if you look for a girlfriend,
you're not allowed to find one prettier than me!
But you wouldn't be able to do that anyway!
What if I die before you?
The weather is unpredictable and something unexpected may happen at any moment
You crow's mouth!
How could you say that about yourself?
You have to learn to live optimistically, like me!
I still have a lot of places I want to go to with you
I want to travel the world and taste the world's delicious foods!
Perhaps live in a premium luxury villa
I'm just dreaming, it doesn't cost me anything
Didn't I say my debt will be repaid before menopause begins?
We can still travel the world!
I'll take you to New York tomorrow
New York?
What for?
We don't have much money!
Wu Julan, all my money is for repaying my debt!
Don't even think of using it!
This is Violet She's Wu Liangliang's grandma
She runs a business in America
Miss Shen,
my boss saw the sashimi feast pictures online
He is very interested
So, he wants to ask Mr Wu to perform for him in New York
Really?
Such a great thing has been tossed to us from the heavens!
This is a good day! Whatever I want to happen, happens!
But you're the only one invited
You are my manager; of course, you have to go with me
Wouldn't it be too exaggerated for a chef to have a manager?
But you are a top chef
It's not strange for you to have a manager
Why is there only a plane ticket for me?
I'm more used to going by sea
Liangliang! You were looking for me?
I'm going back to New York
My grandma wants to invite Wu Julan to New York to perform the sashimi feast
I intend to go with him
You're really going back?
My exchange here was only for a short time anyway
I would have gone back sooner or later
The internet is so well developed now Even if I go back to America,
we can still contact each other often
The hospital director is waiting for me to finish the paperwork I'll go first
Liangliang!
Our beautiful love just started!
Are you going to leave now?
I I haven't even held your hand before!
Yet, you are already giving our romance a terminal illness notification?
You changed your mind?
Jiang Yisheng, you are a good person
She even gave me the nice person card?
This development seems to be wrong
No! I can't just sit back and watch!
I must take the initiative to pursue my happiness!
Stuff in New York is expensive! I must bring enough things!
With this suitcase, even if you fall onto a deserted island,
you could still live for many years
Aren't we still deeply in debt? If we can be frugal, we should
What else do you need? Let me help
No! You don't need to help me Come
You just need to recuperate and recharge When the time comes, you must not drop the ball, okay?
Who knows? We may even be asked to go on a performance tour!
Hey, give me a hand! Give me a hand, hurry!
I'm so tired
What are you doing? Wu Julan and I are the only two going to New York
Why did you move the things from the little kiosk here?
Who said only you two were going? I'm telling you,
I'm going, too I've taken vacation days and bought a plane ticket
I'm ready to go to New York with you two
Jiang Yisheng! You're putting in so much effort to date?
Why are you putting it like that?
I am pursuing true love
Come! I'll help you pack!
I found this at the place where Regulus was attacked
Find a way to gather the fingerprints of the people by Regulus's side
Take them back to New York with this blowgun
So, as long as we compare the fingerprints,
we will find out who is harming Regulus?
Take advantage of time
Just as Regulus wants, we'll return to New York tomorrow morning
Yes
Granny, what are you worrying about?
Liangliang, I can guess why he wants to bring Shen Luo to New York
Why do the two people who should not love each other
fall in love?
To them, love
is like the blooming phase of fireworks
Even if it is more beautiful,
it is only momentary After the beauty fades,
there will be eternal pain
Xiao Luo and Wu Julan are going to America tomorrow morning!
Very good
They are sending themselves to me
I heard Xiao Luo say
that Wu Julan was invited by some big boss to make a sashimi feast
It looks like Wu Julan came to New York to show off
He's bringing Shen Luo, too?
That's really causing one's jealousy to wane
Perhaps I can find a way to help you
What way?
I've only seen such a fancy car on TV before!
Don't break it!
Xiao Luo, how about I switch to holding a cooking knife, too?
I can be Wu Julan's secretary! How about it?
Forget it! Just be a psychologist!
Where is Wu Julan? Didn't he head out before us?
He took the water path
He took a boat?
He took a boat from China to America? How long is that going to take?
Don't bother with all that!
New York's scenery is different from the island!
Yes! Look at how tall that building is!
Driver,
let's go straight to the hotel
Yes, let's go to the hotel first
We'll look at other places later
We have a lot of luggage
You will be living here
- We're living here?|- Yes
Liangliang! Surprise!
- Hi!|- You didn't think I'd come, too Right?
Are you happy? Delighted? Startled?
You've bought everything from the island's little kiosk
Who wouldn't know that you're coming to New York?
I took an earlier flight here to prepare this for you
- Let's go!|- Let's go upstairs
- What's going on?|- It requires a pass code
It's Xiao Luo's birthday It'll be easy for you to remember
- My birthday?|- Xiao Luo, then you come
It opened! It opened!
Move aside!
Cool!
What a fancy room!
It must be super expensive to stay one day here!
I want to know, who paid for the car and for us to stay here?
The boss, of course
This is too much!
If I'd known earlier that we'd be staying here, I wouldn't have brought instant noodles and pickled vegetables!
Xiao Luo, you and Wu Julan will stay upstairs
Jiang Yisheng will stay in the guestroom downstairs
That's right, where is your granny's boss?
We must thank him for such fancy treatment!
He's busy Go rest first
After Wu Julan comes tonight, let's eat dinner together
That's right Xiao Luo, go rest and get rid of the jet lag
I'll spend time alone with Liangliang!
Let's go!
What do you want?
Liangliang, be honest
Is the boss of your grandma reliable?
What is it?
Who would treat a chef to stay at such a fancy place?
The pass code to the door is Xiao Luo's birthday, too!
It's strange no matter how you think about it!
It couldn't be an international criminal
that fell for the beauty of me and Xiao Luo,
and tricked us to come all the way from China?
Look in a mirror
Which silly human trafficker would set up such a grand stage to kidnap you?
It would have already resulted in a huge loss without any return
Why would it be a loss? There must be a gain of some amount
Don't worry!
My grandma has worked with her boss for her entire life
She knows him very well
That's good Now, the serious matters are over
Let's talk about some not-so-serious things
Want to be romantic with me?
I didn't think that you'd be so forward!
Go change your clothes I'll take you for a walk
We're in New York, where are you?
Xiao Luo!
Wu Julan, you swam so quickly!
If I wasn't hurt, I'd have been even faster
I'll call Liangliang The boss asked us to dinner tonight
Hello, Liangliang?
Please let your boss know
Tonight, I'm going to spend time alone with Xiao Luo
So cool and confident?
In my eyes, no one is more important than you
That's right In a bit, when we go back to where we're staying,
you better not be like a village bumpkin That place is very luxurious and grand!
Take me to look at it
A registered letter
This is the fingerprint report
Besides the fingerprints on the poisonous gun, I also gathered Shen Luo, Jiang Yisheng,
Zhou Buwen, Zhou Buyan, and Zhu Yiyang's fingerprints
But this report says
that the fingerprints on the poisonous gun don't match any of them
That means the one that attacked Wu Julan
in not one of the group
Do you know what this is?
What is that?
Wu Liangliang found the blowgun at the place where you attacked Wu Julan
This is the report that says your fingerprints are on the weapon
Then does Wu Liangliang know I did it?
I've already taken it from the mailman
You probably won't be exposed
Thank you, Boss An
Stop being a smart aleck
How many times have I told you to not do that?
Yes, I won't dare to do it again
If you do it again, you know the consequences
No, there won't be a next time
This is already the seventh book
How many more stories do you need to hear before you fall asleep?
This one will be the last one, okay?
I've read this one before
Agnete and the Merman
Andersen's Little Mermaid? Isn't she a daughter of the sea?
The story of the daughter of the sea is talking about a mermaid
This book is about a merman
So, Andersen also wrote a merman's story
What does this story talk about?
It's about a gold haired merman
who ran into a girl named Agnete
Later on, the two of them fell in love
They lived together
They had many children, too
But in the end,
Agnete couldn't give up her human life
In the end, she still left the merman
You're not a gold haired merman, and I'm not Agnete
I won't leave you!
I'm not that sensitive, don't overthink it
Whenever you mention mermaids,
it reminds me that when a woman says a man has a good figure,
they all like to say that he has a mermaid line!
Do you know what a mermaid line is?
I don't know
How annoying!
There's only one bed in such a big room!
I'll force myself to sleep in the same bed as you!
You sleep here, I'll sleep in the guestroom
Rest early
Wu Julan, you're such a blockhead!
I'm sorry Boss doesn't have time to see you today either
It's no rush!
There's good food and drink for us! We'd love to stay for a few more days!
- We'll treat it as a vacation, right?|- Okay!
Liangliang, where should we go play today?
Xiao Luo, I'll take you out for a walk today
Okay!
I exchanged for six hundred USD before I came here We'll each take half
Don't spend sparingly! We have to play well!
Wu Julan! You're really accepting Xiao Luo's money?
It's easy for a man to give a woman money to spend
But if a man wants to spend a woman's money,
it requires a lot of attraction
You are living off a woman and still try to explain it away
Why are you making it sound so bad?
My money was earned with Wu Julan!
What's mine is his!
Liangliang! Then I'll give you money to spend from now on, too!
What's mine is yours!
Eat your food
Eat, eat, eat! We'll go play afterwards!
This is the famous Central Park
It was created in 1857
It's the first landscape park in America
Look over there
The place where we live is over there
I heard Liangliang say that only very rich people can live there!
Looks like the boss of Violet is as wealthy as a nation
If not, why would the standard of the cook's reception be so high?
What do you think her boss looks like?
As I see it, he must be an old man who can't even walk!
Why are you suddenly interested in this person?
You're jealous?
Yes, I am such high quality!
Perhaps, that boss will fall for me!
Who says that Violet's boss is definitely a male?
Perhaps it's a woman
- Hello?|- It's all ready
Okay, I got it
Tonight, Violet prepared a party
We're invited to go It'll be a good chance to meet her boss
Let's hurry and go back to prepare! Let's go!
Xiao Luo, no matter what happens to me from now on,
you must remember that I love you
How is it? Can I wear this to the party?
You're the one that's invited I'm just accompanying you It's the same no matter what I wear
Wearing proper clothes during a party shows respect for the master
Am I supposed to buy an outfit?
New York's stuff is so expensive! I don't want to spend money on a gown!
Xiao Luo
Liangliang, these two are?
These are stylists that the boss has arranged for you
Just leave yourself to them
I guarantee you'll have a full makeover
The boss has thought of everything!
Xiao Luo!
You're so pretty today
