♫ Legend has it that humans long ago ♫
♫ Lived in the darkness far underground ♫
♫ They dispatched the dainty hummingbird ♫

♫ Flying over the islands one by one ♫
♫ Really wanting a place to stop and rest ♫
♫ Creating dreams one by one ♫
♫ Will there be someone who will hear it? ♫
♫ The dream of finding the sun, overestimating myself to say ♫

When we make decisions for others,
we think that we're thinking in their shoes, helping them solve the issues at hand,
but actually, we never thought about
the risks and costs associated with this decision.
Making decisions for others is never the same as making decisions for ourselves.
Surprise!
Kaven.
You're alone?
Where's Sheng Xia?
So... what happened?
Sorry, I-I shouldn't have told her.
This isn't your fault.
I thought if I told her she'd be very grateful and touched so--
Forget it. This really isn't your fault, okay?
- Sorry. I'm really sorry. - Stop!
Xiaoduo, tell me. What did I do wrong exactly?
You didn't do anything wrong. You were absolutely right.
Then why couldn't Sheng Xia accept my help?
She knows that you treat her well. She really does.
Do you have alcohol?
Sir? Here.
Okay. Thank you.
Nurse, s-she's been sleeping for a while now. She's okay, right?
She's fine. Just let her rest some more.
If anything happens, just ring that bell.
Okay.
Qiming, you've been busy all day. Sit down and rest for a bit.
But she--
Isn't Shao Lin taking care of her?
Don't worry. Didn't the doctor say she was fine?
Rest for a bit. Hurry.
Qiming, I bought some fruit. Bananas don't need to be washed.
You must be hungry. Eat some fruit.
I'm not in the mood to eat. You eat.
Truth is,
it's my fault
for not letting her have a good life and not living in a big house.
When something like this happens, I have to depend on you for help.
Now that something's happened.
I... Besides staying by her side, I can't do anything else.
I'm too useless.
For our children,
having their parents by their side is the best thing they can have.
Let alone a father as competent as you. Do you know how difficult it is to find someone like you?
Really? Do I really seem that great to you?
You're always busy doing this and that. You're both her father and her mother.
It's not easy for you.
Zhengzheng just gets into trouble every once in a while.
She has a bad temper, but she stays by your side every day.
It's so great that you can spend time together with your daughter.
What's wrong? Do you miss Sheng Xia?
If I said I didn't, I'd be lying.
I really regret doing that. I shouldn't have borrowed money from you back in the day
to let Sheng Xia go abroad. If she didn't go abroad,
she would be by my side everyday. That would be so great.
If Sheng Xia stayed in Beijing then,
I don't know if you would have regretted it, but if she didn't go and see the world for herself,
she would definitely have regretted it.
Zhengzheng and Sheng Xia
are really quite similar. Since young, they've both
had dreams that are far and wide that seem almost unreachable.
If you were to give her an extremely long ladder, she would keep climbing it.
Could she reach the sky?
She wouldn't give up until she reaches the end.
Sheng Xia
was able to take the first step. Zhengzheng is working hard and chasing after her.
It's quite unfortunate that Zhengzheng has poor health.
I wouldn't be able to let her go out and explore the world on her own if you wanted me to.
I mean look... look at her. How could she make it?
You were right for not letting her go abroad.
If something happened to her abroad, you won't even have time to regret it.
Zhengzheng, you're awake?
How are you feeling? Do you feel better?
Oh right. I'll tell your dad to wake up.
No, I'll tell your dad to wake up. No, I'll tell him to come in.
Wait a second. I'll be back immediately.
Here.
Uncle, Zhengzheng woke up.
Woke up? Let's go take a look.
If it was Sheng Xia instead of you, she would've thrown me and the alcohol out.
She does it for your own good.
That's right.
I was once an alcoholic.
I had gone through treatment.
I can keep it under control to a certain extent. What Sheng Xia is most afraid of is of me relapsing.
Of course, that's not wrong, but I've always wanted
for her to care about me more and ask how I was doing.
Actually, I was an alcoholic as well.
I think... this is an exit for us.
I never thought we'd gone through the same experience.
It's just I never realized you were so stressed out.
I thought someone like you didn't have much to worry about.
I thought the same.
Sheng Xia is someone... who has a plan for everything
and is a very principled girlfriend.
We've been dating for 3 years.
We've always been holding on to our promise.
On Monday evenings, we watch a movie together
and eat dinner. On Saturdays,
we leave the entire day open for each other.
Sunday is her day of work.
She says she needs to work harder than others.
We made a promise that after 3 years of dating, we'd get married,
but it seems she...
doesn't want to keep this promise.
She never wants me to pay for the check
or my property.
She doesn't want anything. She rather stay at the detention center
than take money from me for bail. Tell me...
Tell me, is she rejecting my money
or my feelings for her?
♫ Who arranged ♫
Kaven.
♫ This accident? ♫
♫ There wasn’t enough time to think ♫
♫ Not able to avoid it ♫
Sheng Xia.
♫ Open my eyes and wake up ♫
♫ You are no longer here ♫
♫ Within one thought ♫
♫ There are two worlds ♫
♫ Who is the one who loves? ♫
♫ Who is the one to be loved? ♫
♫ Confused yet understandable ♫
Hey buddy. Where are you going?
You can't get away from me.
[Shuang Ying Manufacturing]
What's wrong? Do you miss Sheng Xia?
If I said I didn't, I'd be lying.
I really regret doing that. I shouldn't have borrowed money from you back in the day
to let Sheng Xia go abroad. If she didn't go abroad,
she would be by my side everyday. That would be so great.
Copy. I'll check it out.
Hello?
Bro, I urgently need your help.
Stop messing around. I need to go handle a situation right now.
Anna is chasing me to kill me. She waits at the entrance of my home every day.
I can't even go home.
If I were Anna, I'd be after you too.
Help me talk to her.
It's not that I'm not helping. It's just that the other party keeps dragging this out.
Sorry bro. Can't help.
Good luck and take care.
Oh right. There's someone at the detention center that you probably want to see.
Detention center? Who?
Sheng Xia.
Sheng Xia? Shen Kai didn't bail her out?
I don't know why either.
I understand.
Help me with Anna...
Hello? Hello?
So... did you eat the breakfast upstairs?
I don't have time. I have to go see Sheng Xia. It's been a whole night. She must be suffering.
I think you shouldn't go see Sheng Xia for now.
She shouldn't be mad at me anymore.
You should come up with a better solution for her to accept before going to see her.
You're right.
Then I'll go and discuss things with Ivy.
I feel so relieved that Sheng Xia has a friend like you.
Oh right. I'll leave the bail to you. I'll transfer you the money.
No, no, no.
You know Sheng Xia's temper. If she found out, she'd be even angrier.
She can't just stay there though.
It's fine. We still have this shop. Just leave it to me.
Okay. Then I'll leave it to you.
Leave it to me. Don't worry.
Drink... Drink less.
Sorry about last night.
I drank too much.
It's fine. Let me see you out.
Let's go.
- Bye. - Bye.
Why are you here?
Why can't I come here?
Sit.
I want to ask why are you still here?
Then where did you think I'd be?
At a five star hotel or at coffee shop on the upper east side?
No matter where you are, you shouldn't be here.
It would seem for someone that rich, it would be nothing to spend a little money for bail and be out of here.
I've seen too many girls like you.
Doing all you can to come here, isn't it just so you can get a rich boyfriend?
Please show some respect.
Why am I here? Shouldn't you know better than anyone else?
Of course, I know. It's because you hit me so you were arrested.
Yes.
I did injure you, but I sent you to the hospital immediately.
I also sincerely apologized to you, but what did you do?
You pretended to have amnesia and for what? I can sue you for fraud!
Miss, what did I swindle from you?
I didn't take a penny from you. That guy isn't mine.
Didn't I just steal a kiss from you?
Pervert!
You don't know anything about the law.
Don't think I don't know the law.
You sexually harassed me and committed fraud. Either of those can get you imprisoned for 2 years.
You want to talk about the law here with me?
I also want to remind you that you've committed a crime here.
Don't think that just because you found a rich boyfriend you can do whatever you want?
Hypocrite.
- What did you say? - Hypocrite!
You think I don't know why you did all of this?
Didn't you do all of this to get more money?
We'll see each other in court.
See you in court.
Grandmother, listen to me.
You're going pretty fast.
Shao Lin.
Be careful.
I'm old Tan's darling daughter.
I'm telling you. You'll have to be responsible for my father and me.
Fine.
Auntie.
Careful.
Here. Help me get this off.
You should hurry and get to work.
You skipped work to take me to the hospital.
Your boss might blow up at you.
It's fine. He's been busy with these foreign clients the last couple days. He doesn't have the time to worry about me.
Zhengzheng?
That day at the police department, your dad did that in your best interest.
He didn't want to see you fighting.
He wanted to protect you. Don't be angry at him anymore.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm your girlfriend or my dad is your girlfriend.
Your elbow keeps turning out. (meaning akin to helping outsiders first and not family)
Uncle Tan is family too.
Okay, okay. I understand.
Dad does things for my own good. Be careful on your way.
Zhengzheng?
If there's a chance to go abroad right now, would you go?
At your professional level, that's daydreaming.
I'm telling you. You jump? I jump.
I'm off. Bye-bye.
Hurry. Go on.
- Dad, I'm back. - Zhengzheng, you're back?
It's not right. You didn't even come to the hospital to pick me up.
How is it not right? When you get out of hospital, do you need 100 people picking you up. Shao Lin is good enough.
I was cooking you a delicious meal at home. You know?
When you get home, you can have nice, warm meal to eat.
I want to eat fish head.
Look at this soup I made for you.
How about that smell?
Pretty good. It smells good.
This is called 'reconciliation soup'. Lotus with oysters. (a play on the pronunciation of the ingredients)
After you drink it, we'll make up
and not fight anymore.
Who wants to fight with you?
No way, Dad.
Can you even eat this? These ingredients together?
I just got out of the hospital. Don't poison me.
If I wanted to poison you, how could you have gotten so old? I'll go make taro for you.
No.
I want fish head, not taro. (the words sound similar in Chinese.)
How can such a little calf like you have so many demands?
If I'm a calf, then what are you?
Today is not a good day to eat fish head. We'll just drink this soup. I'll go get a bowl.
Hello? Auntie?
Xiaoduo, tell Auntie what Sheng Xia has been busy with recently.
I've been calling her. She either doesn't pick up
or she'll hang up after saying just a few words.
What's going on with her?
It's all because of that court case.
Don't worry though. She'll be fine.
Court case?
She got in trouble with the law?
You didn't know about this?
Seriously this girl, Sheng Xia.
How could she not tell me that something like this happened?
President Li, You Cheng company's President Cai is here.
Xiao Qin, handle it for me. I'm on the phone right now.
Where is she right now?
I apologize, Director Cai. She's on the phone.
Xiaoduo, tell me all the details.
Maybe I can help.
I-I-I got it wrong. This happened to my other friend.
Sheng Xia is fine. Nothing's wrong with her.
President Li, President Cai has been waiting outside for a while.
- Do you think you can-- - I'm... I'm on the phone.
- But, he's right here. - Take care of it for me.
President Li, President Cai has been waiting -
President Cai, President Li really is quite busy. In a little while-
You asked me to come yet you're making me wait out in the hallway. I've stood out here for a while now.
Looks like your company is really busy.
It seems like you don't need my business. Goodbye.
No, no, no, President Cai. No, let me explain.
President Cai, let me explain.
President Li. Are you done–
President Li, It was really difficult to get President Cai here.
Now he's already left.
Go to the finance department. Take out a sum of money. I want to go see Sheng Xia.
Abroad?
But, right now our company's situation...
Didn't you hear what I said? Hurry up and go!
Okay.
[Summer]
Even if you have principles, you need to have money first, Sheng Xia.
Hello? Anyone here?
Welcome.
You Oriental women are really beautiful.
Thanks.
My name is Alberto. May I have the pleasure to know you?
Do you please tell me what types you like? Then I can recommend for you.
No.
Monica, the film festival you are going to attend is about Oriental elements.
You cannot just pick clothes according to your own taste.
I know nothing about Oriental elements.
Why don't you help me to pick one?
Our studio will be your best choice.
If you want a gown with Oriental elements, all clothes here are self designed.
We can customize a gown according to your preference.
- Are you a designer? - No, no, no.
Our designer seldom shows up. She's really busy.
Let me guess. She's really busy meeting big stars, right?
How do you know?
You know how many designers I have to meet everyday?
Excuse me. You must be a big star.
No. I am not a star, but I am the one who makes stars.
Hey Monica? What about this one?
No. It's not for sale.
Monica, you look gorgeous.
Your designer is great.
Yes, but it's not the Oriental element you want.
No, the Oriental elements is not about the Chinese button or the peony.
No, it's more about the white and blue porcelain.
It's about the lingering sun
like the lingering charm... in your face.
But Monica, we're going to have to do something with your boobs. They are way too big for this dress.
What strange appreciation of beauty, this?
Actually, we have several more clothes in this style.
No. This is it.
Isn't she beautiful?
Yeah, but it's really not for sale.
Don't do this to me.
Listen, I know this is all your marketing strategy and all that
so I will give you $10,000 for this dress.
It's not about price.
Listen. This is a studio, right?
And these clothes are here for sale so you have no reason to refuse me.
- But... - Haven't you heard? Love might disappear,
but shoes they will never go.
Just like this clothes. Never never disappear.
Where we live, there is no fashion that cannot be bought with money
so I tell you what. I will add another $10,000.
I give you $20,000 for the dress.
What about $30,000?
Deal. Wrap it for me.
Li Fengying. Sheng Yinghong.
Our names both have "Ying" in them.
What about we call our clothing factory "Shuang Ying" (shuang = double)?
Shuang Ying?
Shuang Ying sounds like "win-win."
Here's to hoping that both our business and love
will both blossom. How does that sound?
Okay.
Is it good?
Yingzi. I'm going to work.
Okay, drive slowly.
Is it good?
I'll give you another one. Here.
Don't cry.
Don't cry, don't cry. Come here.
What's wrong?
Don't cry. Don't cry.
Don't cry.
Shuang Ying was no longer both of ours. There was no win-win for us.
I struggled for 20 years and easily established the factory.
Today, it's reverted back to looking like this.
Sheng Yinghong, it seems I'm destined to be ruined by you in this life.
If you're still alive,
if you still have a conscience, then hurry up and get over here.
Fengying. Fengying!
Good thing you didn't leave yet.
What is it?
You tell me, isn't this too much?
You're going abroad, how come you didn't even tell me?
I only found out from overhearing the workers talking about it.
It's a private matter. Outsiders don't need to worry about it.
How am I an "outsider"?
I watched Sheng Xia grow up.
Something's happened to her. How... can I not help her?
Why don't... why don't I go with you?
You're not familiar with maters abroad and don't know the laws there. What can you do?
I don't know the laws there, but I can keep you company.
You see, you won't be accustomed to the food there.
I can cook for you guys.
You and Sheng Xia deal with the court case, I'll be at home making food.
You'll have the strength to deal with the foreigners after you're full, right?
Qiming, thank you for your good intentions.
You better stay here and take care of Zhengzheng.
I need to hurry home and pack. Goodbye.
Okay, then let me buy some things for Sheng Xia,
I'll come by and deliver them to you. I'll go prepare them.
No need to buy anything. Don't be so polite.
I only have one daughter. Nothing bad can happen to her.
Hey gentleman. Calm down. Calm down!
Hey sir. No fighting. Stop!
Stop!
Tony.
Record them.
Smile.
Hey guys, you better listen to me now.
Who the hell are you?
Easy, easy. Take it easy, okay?
Who's on probation? Who's on probation?
When the officer is filling out his incident report,
I'm going to be very helpful.
Okay, let me guess. Who has gotten a felony DWI?
What did you say?
Oh. You're finished.
I know all your stories.
You...
Sir. We will compensate everything, okay?
Come on.
You're so cool.
I love the look when you come out and help solve my problems.
You've been like this since you were 16. You like causing trouble everywhere.
Whenever you can't solve it yourself, you go and call for me.
You're still like this now.
How you mess around, I don't care but don't dig yourself a hole.
Or else this is the last time I'm going to help you.
Even if your bar goes up in flames, I won't help you.
You're worried about me?
You are hopeless.
He's worried for me.
Of course.
Xiaoduo, have you seen my lotion?
Is it this bottle?
- Here. - It's really dry here at home.
Do you want some?
After rubbing it, it'll be smooth and soft.
Xiaoduo, you're quite amazing. You were able to get the money for bail so quickly.
You didn't sell your talents on the street, right?
For you, I would not only sell talents on the street,
but beg as well.
Then I promise I won't make a mistake again and I'll listen to you next time.
With your word, even if I had to beg, it'd be worth it.
Then you should just go sell talents. You might make more from selling talents than from begging.
Go away.
Kaven's here?
Later when you see him you better not put on this face.
Okay, I got it.
Sheng Xia,
I'm sorry.
It's like you guys went through life and death together.
You've went through a lot recently.
Other than not being able to shower, everything else was pretty okay.
It's me who didn't handle things properly.
You were doing things for my good.
I know my place, I'm going back to the bedroom. You two talk.
These days, you come back late enough.
The court session is coming up. I better prepare well.
Paying so much attention doesn't seem like your style.
I have always been serious with my work.
Something's not right. There must be a problem.
What problem is there?
I can't beat this level.
I think you being this serious, the one you want to win over isn't the girl
but the rich boyfriend who's behind her.
Hank, I think you're a lot smarter than before.
It's not me who's became smarter, but that you're being too obvious.
Thank you.
Let me tell you. The next time you want it to automatically change the temperature,
set it to the temperature you want and then press this button.
Here.
Sheng Xia, why don't you move to my place?
I'm pretty good here.
It's convenient here for work. It's also comfy and homey here.
You know what I mean.
Give me a little more time.
Okay then. The time is for you to decide.
But you're right. There really is a sense of home here.
Isn't that because there's Jia Xiaoduo?
Having Jia Xiaoduo as a bestie is great.
- Okay then I'll get going. - I'll send you off.
Drive slowly.
I didn't drink.
Xiaoduo, where the Stephen formal dress that was outside?
That...
H-Hey, what are you doing? Don't hit me!
Was it you?
I could tell from a long time ago that you didn't like it.
- Didn't you change it? - I'll say it! I'll say it!
I did change it because...
Don't you think this one looks better?
Why do you have to have to put that outfit? Am I right?
It's because Stephen is my childhood idol.
He's my pillar of strength.
- Yes. - Without her, I wouldn't have any inspirations.
I know. You went overseas just because of her.
You want to become a designer like her.
However, opening this shop has nothing to do with her.
You came overseas for so long but you've never seen her before.
Your store is full of your designs, why hang hers up?
Makes sense, right?
You're right.
- Let's sleep then. - Hey, you— You go back and sleep.
I haven't slept with you in ages.
Xiaoduo.
Xiaoduo, you asleep?
Done.
Your outfit is pretty nice. What brand is it?
Come, prepare a sedan for me. (speaking in historical palace style)
- Yes. - Why aren't you hurrying?
Where are you going?
- Southeast direction. - Okay.
Please excuse me for saying this, your beauty is as if severe floods and fierce beasts.
The handsome men in the southeast will be unable to avoid this disaster.
Three thousand handsome men, I only want to capture one.
May Buddha be benevolent.
Life won't always be clear skies.
Sometimes, you'll encounter storms.
So we would think that during the temporary moments of sunny skies
to admire the rainbow after the rain.
It's about time for me to bump into my prince charming.
However, reality is never as smooth-sailing as our imagination.
After waiting for a long time, you still might not see the sun.
Even more frightening is that gray clouds will coming rolling in.
My happiness is about to knock on my door.
Ma'am, here's a ticket for the parking violation.
Why cop?
What's wrong with a cop?
No, no, no. You don't fit my standard at all. Impossible.
You're the one who doesn't fit the standard.
You're Chinese?
Do you see that sign? It says you can't park here.
Also, you parked for longer than the time limit. Please go to City Hall to pay for your violation.
This is the parking violation ticket.
- You're... you're definitely Chinese. - Have a nice day.
You're definitely Chinese. You aren't going to chat a little longer with me?
What prince charming?
Shao Lin. Tell me, all these stores here
when will they display the clothes I designed?
Do you want to open a shop here?
No, I don't want to open a shop. I just want the acknowledgement.
- Let me sit for a second. - I'm telling you,
all the designers from these shops are famous. They're not just anybody.
When will they display my clothes?
That's when it'll show that I'm a true fashion designer
like Sheng Xia.
In my heart,
you're already a true fashion designer.
But other people don't think the same.
Where did you get that cake from?
It was in the fridge for a couple days now.
I didn't see anyone eating it. I was afraid it'd go to waste so I brought it with me.
You're so sweet. How did you know I was hungry?
I'll eat it. I'll eat it. Give it to me.
Aren't you afraid it's expired?
My stomach is made of steel.
So what if it's expired?
Try a bite first to see if it's spoiled.
It's not bad. It's quite good.
Do you want some? You can't have any.
This slice of cake was originally for you. You just never ate it.
My phone.
Hello?
Yeah, Dad? What's up?
It's mine.
I'm shopping.
What? Sheng Xia is getting sued?
