Once upon a time,
there was a planet far away in the outer space.
Environment there was almost the same with that on the Earth. So of course there're aliens living on it!
After a long process of multiply and evolution, those aliens
established a set of their own civilization system.
One day, their scientists predicted that their galaxy was gonna collapse.
To escape the disaster, they immigrated by spaceship onto other planets in the universe.
And one group of them came to the Earth.
They called themselves the Fox Clan.
Ancient earthmen were so shocked when they first saw them.
An ancient book named Records Of Strange Events reads that a huge ship-like object flew above the west sea.
People in it wore hats, had white feathers all over their body,
flew high up in the sky with no wings.
It's the first impression the Fox Clan left on humans.
To adapt to environment on the Earth,
the Fox clan themselves never stopped evolving.
Finally, they looked like humans,
and gradually fit in with humans' lives.
Since ancient times, the conflicts between humans and the Fox Clan never ceased.
In Tang Dynasty, there was an official named Tai Fu.
He was very intrigued with love affairs between humans and foxes.
He believed that love transcended everything.
After he died,
his son compiled the stories that he wrote into volumes,
named it Kuang-i-chi and then punished it.
It became popular ever since.
After being exaggerated by storytellers.
and spread from one to another,
the Fox Clan first made humans interested and then scared gradually.
Foxes found humans more and more unfriendly.
So they had to conceal themselves in the human world.
Moonshine And Valentine SUBTITLES BY Babel Fansub
Episode 08 Alina, Katherine, Sophia
Lord Qingmu.
Although most of the southern rebel tribes
are under our control,
die-hards of the renegade Helan Jingting are intractable!
And I heard that not only him but his men
always contact with mankind.
Report!
The Tushans' eldest daughter Qianhua is here.
Show my respect to you, Lord Qingmu.
What do you wanna say?
I think that
Helan Jingting's rebellion must have untold reasons.
I'm willing to go to the south to dissuade him.
And I'm still engaged to Helan Jingting.
So I'm the most suitable one to solve it.
Please allow me to give it a try, Lord Qingmu.
Father!
I'd like to squash Xi and those rebels following him!
Not suitable for you brothers
to fight each other, right?
But it's high time to wipe out them
since they are not strong enough now.
If we don't seize the chance...
The Tushans give strong support to our fox clan,
and have engagement with Xi.
Now that they volunteer to interfere,
we should give them a chance.
- Father! If this time... - If...
If he can change his mind,
it'll be a good thing.
Please think twice, father!
Song.
Stop it!
Qianhua.
Thanks.
Song.
Do you think is there any chance to change it?
Xi is the same as usual.
He refused to see you again.
I'm afraid that
he doesn't wanna fix your relationship as you do.
I've indulged him a lot.
Never mind.
Let him be.
Father!
I wonder
if we should change
the successor of priest-in-chief?
What do you mean?
Having lived a human life for a long time,
Xi has already neglected our fox clan's affairs.
I think that maybe he isn't suitable
to inherit the priest-in-chief.
How about rearranging it?
Considering the present situation,
you're definitely more suitable to lead our clan.
However.
Xi has great prestige in the southern fox clan.
I wanna talk with him about it.
Helan Jingting has been entangled in the relationship with that human girl for many years.
And made the whole southern fox clan closely contact with mankind.
Don't you find it dangerous, father?! That's enough!
No matter in the troubled times of Zhenyong or now,
Xi is still my son.
I believe that he'll change his mind.
I'll talk with him later.
Father.
I have another thing to tell you.
I've sent out my orb of charm.
Your orb of charm?
To whom?
The eldest daughter of the Tushans, Qianhua.
Qianhua?!
Who discussed it with the Tushans?
Qianhua's agreed on her own.
And she and I...
Love each other.
Father!
I've talked with Qianhua about
our visiting you elders recently.
How is the conversation going on between Miss Guan and our lord?
Our lord will have his own method, right?
But relationship is not so easy a thing.
Hope they two have a good result.
Are you listening to my words?
Can you hurry up? I'm hungry! Or I just go to the cafe first?
Which cafe?
Obviously the usual cafe.
Didn't you wanna try another one?
Why?
Such quiet surroundings and delicious food there.
That's not your real purpose.
Mind your own business.
You're not full?
Yes. Don't we have a glee feast today? The show hasn't started, yet you think about the feast?
Just think about it.
Someone else is here to accompany you.
I gotta go.
Wish you a perfect performance tonight.
Thanks.
Well.
How was Pipi last night?
I'm also worried about her.
I don't know whom she provoked, thus led to the incident last night.
That bogeyman.
I'll take her here
to cheer for you.
Do you remember my having dinner with a junior that night?
Yes.
Actually that night I...
Jialin.
I have a question for you.
Okay.
Would you stay with Pipi forever if without me?
Let me see...
I don't think that Pipi and I have anything in common.
And no common topics between us.
How long can such a relationship last?
I have no idea.
Alright. Just now...
What did you wanna say just now?
Nothing important.
I gotta go now.
Good luck.
Mom, I won't have dinner at home.
Where are you going? It's late now.
I gotta watch Tian Xin's show.
But the meal is ready,
and later the soup, just have some soup.
No.
I'll be late for my appointed time with Jialin.
You're going to see Jialin? Just hurry up and don't be late.
You must know that
men like Jialin are rare now. -So you should cling to him! -I got it, mom!
Cut it out.
She is an adult now
and knows what she should do.
Don't exert pressure on her!
What pressure?
I didn't give you so much pressure,
so you ended up a worker till now.
You want our daughter to be futile just like you?
Alright, mom!
Just make soup and I'll have some when back home. The important thing is,
have you discussed with Jialin?
why his parents haven't mentioned about your marriage?
What's your future plan?
I'll decide by myself.
Okay.
By yourself! All by yourself!
You two never let me feel relieved.
Okay. Just relax. Hurry, go.
Bye.
You...
Come back early.
Tian Xin!
Pipi.
Come in!
Why do you bring the flowers with you?
How can I come here without a gift?
Wish you a successful show.
Thanks.
Take a seat.
What a big bunch of flowers!
Who sent you this? So beautiful!
A friend of mine.
Well.
What's your relationship with the man
who pestered you in the pub last night?
He...
He is...
I knew him because of work.
Did you two have dinner together days ago?
How did you know that?
I had dinner with my friend there that night. And saw you two.
It seems that you two are very intimate.
No!
He...
My chief editor asked me to interview him.
But he is weird.
What did you two talk about that night?
Just about...
Fox.
About his heart...
I can't make it clear.
And you may not believe it.
You won't tell me only because I may not believe it?
There have been so many strange things recently,
which make me annoyed.
So I'm think about resigning.
To prepare myself.
After Jialin goes to America...
I don't know if he'll take me with him, right?
Fifteen minutes left, senior.
Okay.
Get ready. I'll go wait for Jialin.
Good luck.
Okay.
Pipi.
You didn't wear perfume today?
I never wear perfume.
Really?
I smelled that perfume before.
Not bad.
Well, what did you wanna say last night?
Nothing.
- Now it is... - Nothing. A song by Tian Xin from the music club.
I've cut the wound and squeezed the blood out.
I remember that you once told me
don't just choose to hate before you get hurt.
And give yourself a chance.
I'm sorry.
I got carried away.
I'm gonna go.
Qianhua.
Help me put it away.
What's wrong?
Why no electricity?
Breaks at critical moment! Such an awful camera!
Mr. Kuanyong.
When shall we stop "looking into the mirror"?
Handsome enough.
We only have darkness on the screen.
The power has been cut for a long time.
Shall we just go have a meal?
Okay. Okay. My fault.
We'll try another restaurant.
Okay?
Happy now?
Go.
No.
You just go alone. I'm not hungry.
Zhao kuanyong! If you wanna say something,
just tell me, okay?! Don't treat me like this.
I've been thinking for a long time.
Although we two are buddies,
not all things need us two to finish together.
Like having meals.
We can do it alone.
Don't talk about doing something together or alone!
Kuanyong. Don't forget what you promised me in childhood.
Just a child's nonsense.
Xiu Xian.
You're here.
He's not here?
Xiu Xian?
Yes.
You two are always together. Why ask me?
Let me make a sandwich for you?
Luckily, you came alone.
If he's also here,
I really don't know how to cook meat for him without electricity.
Kuanyong.
I bought you a green salad from three blocks away!
Looks so delicious.
Come out and try it, okay? Kuanyong?
Kuanyong?
Sorry.
There's only meat, no vegetables.
How about trying some?
I've brought you my exclusive sauce.
Should be tasty.
Miss Xin.
Don't tell Xiu Xian about this.
So...
You eat meat?
Yes.
Not only vegetables.
I'm a vegetarian due to things that happened in childhood.
Childhood?
What happened?
In childhood, we grew up in a fox-breeding house.
Fox-breeding house?
Now it's called...
Orphanage, so to speak.
But...
Our orphanage was different from humans'.
We had to...
Work.
Work made you stop eating meat?
Work conditions back then were very harsh.
We're strictly supervised.
At every meal.
We must eat up all the food.
If we didn't, we would be punished.
Be beaten up.
You know Xiu Xian.
A picky eater since he was a kid.
Didn't eat any vegetables, only meat.
So,
I helped him eat up his vegetables.
Afraid that he couldn't get full,
I gave my meat to him.
But he was so proud.
I couldn't let him know the reason.
So I lied to him since then.
I told him,
I'm a vegetarian.
But I've been used to it over the past hundreds of years.
This sauce is really good.
You've been eating vegetables for hundreds of years for him.
So are you two...
No.
Let me fetch more for you.
Thank you.
Pipi.
I gotta go to the restroom.
You sang so well just now.
It blacked out.
Did you get hurt?
Where's Pipi?
-I think... -Go to America with me.
What are you doing here?
You want to see fox elders in the north?
I can help you with that.
On what condition?
No conditions.
I'm glad to do that.
But I gotta remind you of something.
You know,
Northern Fox Clan are less smarter than southern ones.
They're conservative and skeptical.
Over the past century,
Southern Fox Clan have gotten some complex smell.
The token itself won't do.
However...
I can go there with you.
To help you solve the troubles you might bump into.
This is understandable, right?
Okay.
When next new moon shows up,
-we'll set out. -No rush.
Northern Fox Clan are all bad tempered.
In recent years, they've had many conflicts against the south.
If anything bad happens,
I'm afraid I can't stop it, either.
Now the most important purpose is,
making those old guys think
you're one of us.
So,
put on my orb of charm.
Be the secondary priest's lover.
Pipi.
I've read your resignation.
The reason of your resignation is to search for answers of your life.
What happened?
Feel bad at work lately?
No.
Relationship problems?
Fine.
Anyway, it's better to have your own plan.
There are many things in life looking extremely complicated on the surface.
But having simple answers behind them.
But it's not easy to see through those things.
So we journalists
gotta break out such mazes to find the hidden truths.
No matter what answers you're looking for.
I hope you can stick it out.
Okay. Thank you, sis Qingtan.
Take back your resignation.
I don't think so, sis Qingtan.
I haven't done any great job before.
If you insist that I must stay...
No. No.
It's...
Actually...
If you're free,
correct the misspellings on it.
Reprint it and hand it to me.
Sorry. Sorry.
Sis Xuan, I got this.
No! No! I got this!
Do fox fairies really exist?
Wang Xuan, this photo is...
Chief... Chief editor.
Well, the love affair between Helan Jingting and Qianhua...
Pipi resigned.
You take it over?
Chief editor, I'm on a story
more interesting than that!
This is definitely a great topic!
Will sell at least one million books!
Ten million books if luckier!
No. This big news is gonna shock the entire world!
Almost done with it.
Just wait.
Keep an eye on Wang Xuan.
She's been weird since that thing happened.
I don't wanna see more troubles.
What?
This is Tao Jialin speaking.
I received your e-mail. Yeah.
You mean,
you haven't received my master degree, right?
I did send the original one to you.
It's not a copy, right?
About a week ago.
Alright. I'll figure it out.
Thank you, sir.
Hi, Tian Xin.
JIALIN
Only Recent Three Days Of Updates Showed
Jialin, where are you? I've resigned. I really wanna see you now.
Yeah.
Sure.
I will fly there.
Okay. Okay.
Yeah, see you soon. Bye.
Nailed it?
Yes.
Thank you so much.
You don't know when I answered the phone, my brain just...
You worked so hard and got admitted.
Don't ruin it just because of such trivia.
Well...
Do you want to go there with me?
My visa is not expired yet.
And I'll be free.
I can have a vacation.
And see what else I can help you with by the way.
Don't know what kind of weather it is there.
Will such clothes do?
How about taking this with you?
Why?
Where's the copy of my master degree?
I didn't take it out?
Isn't it here?
Yes. Yes. It is.
What a memory I have!
This is you when you were a kid?
Yes.
I'll go answer the door.
Okay.
TO FUTURE JIALIN
Pipi.
What brought you here?
Jialin, I have something to tell you.
Pipi is here. Hide away.
Have you told her about us?
Not yet.
I was afraid she...
Anyway it's not a right time now.
Just wait for my coming back from America.
Hide away.
Pipi, what brought you here?
I have something to tell you.
What is that?
Jialin.
You're going to...
I'll leave for America tomorrow.
So soon?
Yes.
Delivery service there lost my master degree original.
The school told me it's okay
if I can make up for it within this week.
So I gotta leave tomorrow.
Well...
Wait.
Hello.
Yes, I am.
Hi, the future Jialin.
You must have become a great scientist now.
I know you have.
I think you're very smart.
Good at studying and so brave.
You can do everything by yourself.
I'll support you in the rest of my life.
Let me help you become the greatest scientist in the world.
Will you still play with me if you're a scientist?
If you're No.1 in the world,
I'll be No. 2 in the world.
Or be your aide.
Okay?
GUAN PIPI.
Okay, thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Jialin.
Yes?
In fact, I want to tell you...
I've resigned.
When?
Why... Why did you resign?
My point is...
I have no other purposes.
I just feel...
I'm going to leave for America.
So, I have to go there to learn English first.
And do part-time jobs.
So I have to make preparations first.
I'm not pushing you.
-Just the relationship we have now... -Pipi.
Why can't you...
Jialin.
Are you free tonight?
About studying in America and things ensuing,
I'll talk to you.
Okay.
But after I come back?
Many things now are not decided yet.
I'll go eat out with teachers of my department.
So...
Okay. Okay.
Take care of your things.
I'll be waiting for you.
Let me see you off.
Let's go.
-Don't need me to tidy things up for you? -Never mind.
Now I feel so guilty.
When the time is right,
I'll let her know.
Promise me.
You'll tell her after you come back.
I don't wanna hide it from her any more.
Okay.
Hello, Pipi.
I'm on campus now.
Tonight, I've something to do back home.
Okay.
We'll start avoiding someone
before we realize it.
Maybe because we're afraid of getting hurt.
Or maybe we're afraid of hurting others.
Those unknown consequences
and responsibilities to undertake,
make us give up our principles,
and lose our courage.
