♫ 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 ♫

Subtitles and Timing brought to you by Team 7 @viki.com
Zhengzheng, this design truly is very good.
Let me ask you... Is your workmanship level enough to make this?
- We can do it. - Good.
- This one is very good. - Thank you, Teacher Qin.
Teacher Qin, I think these fabrics are really good.
- Right? - It's just that my designs
need some unique materials.
- You'll have to help me look for them. - Okay, okay. Leave it to me.
- Thank you, Teacher Qin. - Okay.
Because one does not want to accept fate's plans,
so one will always wait for a turning point.
It's not that opportunities never appear,
it's seeing if we know how to hold onto them or not.
As well as not letting it silently slip out of your hands.
Though, sometimes her ideas are not very mature,
it also isn't compatible with the normal procedures,
but her blunt and unorthodox ways
really has opened my eyes.
Of course. She's as good as Sheng Xia.
♫ This kind of tone, tone, tone, tone, so unrestrained and vigorous ♫
♫ It is suitable to my my my music genre ♫
♫ My brain is empty, empty, empty, empty, empty that I’ll go crazy ♫
♫ But actually not sure if you understand ♫
♫ Let the rhythm go a little slower and then suddenly change ♫
Sorry. Sorry.
Boss Zhu.
I have a toothache, from inflammation.
As you can see, it's lunchtime and I don't have a single customer.
Let's sit, sit.
Bring out the herbal tea.
Food poisoning can very easily create fear in people.
Don't worry. Explain the situation from that day to me first.
Lawyer, you don't understand the restaurant business.
It's... It's hard to maintain.
If it wanted it to collapse, it'd be too easy to do so.
Gossip is such a terrible thing. It's been three whole days.
There isn't one bit of business.
These are all the orders from the day.
This is the receipt of the plaintiff.
I took a quick look and saw that the plaintiff ordered a total of four dishes.
Those four dishes, other people have also ordered them.
The ones that were ordered the most was the braised meatballs; 43 orders,
and the sweet and sour pork; 38 orders.
I calculated that the number of people who ate these dishes was 118.
However, he was the only one who got food poisoning.
Exactly! It's obvious he didn't get food poisoning from my restaurant!
In fact, the case is simple. The main point is how to withdraw the effects
and let the business resume as normal.
Yes, exactly.
Do you see how swollen my gums are? It's from inflammation because of stress.
Look at me. Every day I open my business and lose money.
If I close the business, I lose even more money.
So here we got some traditional Chinese food.
I am sure you will love it.
- Xia, you're here. - Boss Zhu!
Come! Come in!
Sit anywhere.
- Order whatever you like. - Okay, don't worry about us.
I won't take care of you. I have a client over here.
You know each other?
Her? I know her well.
Why is he here?
That young lady is a great person.
It was four years ago, she came here to eat.
She realized after her meal that she didn't have enough money.
Then a customer she didn't know
helped her pay the bill.
She... didn't get that customer's contact information and I didn't know it either.
So from that day on for over a month,
she came here every day.
Just to wait for that customer to come back and repay him.
Look at how righteous she is.
You don't say though. Hard work does pay off.
After waiting for over a month, the customer actually did return.
After the customer heard about what she did,
he was very touched.
He not only didn't let her pay him back. Guess what happened?
He treated her to an even better meal.
That customer didn't even plan on her paying him back.
However, she persisted in waiting for over a month. Can you believe it?
It's her kindheartedness.
For that month or so, she had quite a bit of my Bak Kut Teh. (T/N: a pork rib dish cooked in broth popularly served in Malaysia and Singapore)
Of course, she didn't eat for free. She did the dishes for a month.
That's impressive, isn't it? Do you think she came today to eat?
No. I haven't had any business in three days.
See? She brought a group of friends to help me with my business.
Pretty good.
Where were we?
Go ahead. Help yourself.
You ate so fast, can you digest it?
I told you to choose a good restaurant. Why did you choose here?
It's nice here.
What's nice about it?
Taste.
You're my savior. I have to thank you properly.
You were in danger. It was a very normal thing for me to do.
Normal. Really?
So what you mean is
as long as anyone is in danger, you'll carry them to the hospital no matter who it is,
not because it was me?
That sounds about right.
I'm done eating.
Wait. Where are you from?
I'm from the South. I still have ten minutes before I start work.
Wait. We have seen each other three times. What do you think of me?
Actually it wasn't until that day... when you said you knew Sheng Xia that I remembered.
We've actually seen each other at court.
No, we've met before the day at court.
From what I can tell, all Chinese women look about the same. Pretty.
How can we be the same? Do Sheng Xia, Salina, and I look the same?
Same?
Salina isn't the same.
Your Chinese is so good, did you learn from Xu Tian?
Salina taught me.
Sorry, I really have to go.
- Wait. - It's okay. Check, please?
It's okay. I'll pay. We said I'll pay.
That's all right.
He can really eat but at least he knows to pay the bill.
Not bad.
Excuse me, Miss. You haven't paid.
I thought he just paid the bill.
Yes. But he just paid for himself.
Yes.
Oh, sorry. I didn't hear you calling.
Please, Alice. I know that it was my fault that I missed the last show.
I promise it will not happen again.
Really?
Thank you. Thank you. I love you.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Sheng Xia!
- Sheng Xia! - Hey, Kaven. You're here?
- Yes. Where's Sheng Xia? - She went to Alice's office.
Didn't Alice sign a new model? She went to make her a signature outfit.
Hurry and sit. I made soup.
Try it. I put some authentic flavor mixes
that Sheng Xia's mom mailed from China. It's really good.
Try some. I'll go get you a bowl.
It sounds like Sheng Xia's going to be busy soon.
Yeah.
- How is it? - It smells good.
I'll get some for you.
Oh right! You usually don't have dates on this day of the week.
Why did you come?
Yes. This weekend we're going on a vacation, so I printed an itinerary for her to see.
Let me see.
Wow. You're so meticulous.
It has all the details from what to wear, eat, sleep, and do.
Looking at it makes me itch.
Do you want to go together?
No.
This kind of romantic schedule only fits the couples fiercely in love like you two.
For a lonely and single person like me, watching dramas is good enough.
Wait! What about Hank? You two are quite fated, aren't you?
Don't mention him.
When we went to eat, he left in less than 10 minutes.
He even went Dutch with me.
What?
Go Dutch.
Has he been in a relationship before? What the...!
I never thought about wanting to date him, okay?
Furthermore, if I go for a relationship, it should be something like you and Sheng Xia.
Look how nice you are towards her. She's so blessed.
This is all the evidence I organized yesterday. Boss Zhu, take a look.
Lawyer Xu,
you are quite good.
You were able to come up with so much evidence.
Then, this time...
- we're bound to win. - That's right.
Then, what are we waiting for? Let's bury him.
I suggest that you settle this with him outside of court.
That's right... settle!
What?
I feel that winning the reputation of the restaurant is far more important than the court case.
Food poisoning is the worst thing that can happen in a restaurant.
Even if you win in the end,
it'll be hard for you to stop rumors from spreading.
So I think it's best to settle.
It'll also minimize your losses.
But... my gums are hurting again.
Then... what do you think we should do moving forward?
I checked.
The plaintiff's father's 60th birthday is in a few days.
I hope you can take this opportunity
to arrange a free feast for them.
What? What kind of joke is this?
Boss Zhu, sit.
Listen to me.
I feel that you should properly arrange this feast.
Also, you need to use this opportunity
to let everyone see your restaurant's transformation.
Don't worry about money for now.
I have thought about it.
I thought of a plan that doesn't require the need to spend a lot of money
to achieve this good outcome.
Oh my.
Third Uncle says you don't use orthodox methods.
You really don't do what people normally do.
I'll call him again.
Okay.
[Xu Tian]
Hello?
Why aren't you here yet?
I'm busy.
We are all waiting for you here.
Also,
my third aunt rarely cooks and she cooked for you.
How do I explain it?
I don't care. You must come.
You have to come no matter how late!
Third Aunt, the food is going to get cold. Why don't we eat first?
We can eat and wait. Okay?
Okay.
Why are you here?
What do you think? Doesn't it look better than before?
Are you the professional or am I?
If it's design, you are the professional.
But how a man looks at a woman, I'm definitely more professional.
Earlier, I saw an article.
That is to say, if a person's character is complicated,
that person needs to wear simple clothes.
If a person's character is simple, then they must wear something a bit more complicated.
Like you. Look. Doesn't it look good?
Why are you here?
I came...
I came to give you money.
Will you take a job if it makes you money?
I'm scared of being burned by making any money through you.
It involves your profession, designing clothes.
I graduated from a design school
and I'm busy looking for work all over the city.
As a lawyer, you can find me some work to do?
If you do this job well,
I can promise
that people will see you differently.
You'll be famous in the Chinese circle, heading towards Asia and taking over the world.
Thanks a lot. I can even fly to the moon.
Designing and producing work uniforms,
a total of 50 sets. If you do a good job, you can go to any planet you want.
I'm a designer, not a seamstress.
A good designer can do anything.
Isn't designing a uniform considered design?
A good set of uniforms reflect's the company's image and values.
It's something that's implied. It's an attitude.
Let me calculate it for you.
In this area for a shop as small as yours,
your monthly expense is around ¥20,000, no?
It's true that your dresses are expensive and can sell for thousands of dollars,
but you don't have this kind of business every day.
Working with small businesses
is the best way to maintain the normal operation of your shop.
The most important point is
you can help Boss Zhu using your designs.
Boss Zhu?
You're telling me that the uniforms you want me to design are for his restaurant?
Food poisoning is the most difficult to overcome with the public.
I'm planning on having him hold a banquet.
I want everyone to see Zhuji in a new light.
When the time comes, they will get an entirely fresh impression.
Think about it.
You do the design,
you earn money,
and can help Boss Zhu.
Why would you not do it?
What are you doing? Calm down, calm down.
Think about it. I'm leaving now.
You're not going to chat for a bit longer?
No!
Feng-chi point. (T/N: an accupuncture point)
The main cerebral blood flow area,
can help with migraines.
It is a point where wind pathogens accumulate.
Third Uncle.
Say, which acupuncture point is this?
You scoundrel.
When did you get here?
I haven't come to see you in a while. I wanted to take care of you and massage you.
This is for Auntie Lan.
Really? Our Tian-tian is finally growing up and being thoughtful.
Third Uncle, look.
Is it pretty?
- It's pretty. - Third Uncle, you are too fortunate.
I want to marry someone that's as good as Auntie Lan.
You're finally here?
- Woah. It's such a pretty scarf. - It's pretty, isn't it?
You gave it to her?
Why didn't you give me one?
If you like it, I'll give you two.
[Summer]
Xu Tian, you said you didn't have time to eat with us, it's because you went here?
Salina, don't be angry. What's wrong?
This shop is owned by the woman who injured him!
You've gone too far.
Salina.
Come here.
Salina, I don't want to scold you,
but where did this temper come from?
Is this my fault?
Remember,
you should never show your true emotions.
Once you show people your everything,
you'll lose out on being able to be proactive.
This is the Chinese way of thinking,
taking a step back in order to move forward.
Please.
Isn't the person you're interested in Chinese?
What's going on with this girl?
This girl is just a designer.
I need her to help Boss Zhu design a uniform.
I just passed by her shop
and bought a scarf on the way as a gift for Auntie Lan.
Does she have to be the one to design the uniforms?
It's cheap.
Cut it out.
Xu Tian, I understand what it means
to chase after girls very well.
Let me tell you.
Salina, that child,
even though she has a short temper,
she isn't stupid.
For me,
go comfort her later.
Third Uncle,
you're really overthinking this.
That girl has a boyfriend.
You Auntie Lan had Yunfei back in the day.
Why are you still bringing that up?
Let me tell you. Don't stir up trouble.
Just take a look at me. It'll bring you trouble your entire life.
That's true.
[Contacts]
♫ A sudden downpour drenched the entire world ♫
[Do you agree?] ♫ In the fuzziness, only your face is clear and distinct ♫
♫ A sudden curiosity pushed me to appear in front of you ♫
♫ Trying to restore all of the past through your eyes ♫
It was difficult to overcome this obstacle.
I'm busy. Disturbing me while I'm working will cost extra.
♫ This feeling is both suddenly bright and suddenly dark ♫
You're darker (shadier) than the night.
♫ I concealed myself for you but in reality, you didn’t see that I let you win ♫
What's darker than the night is being blacklisted.
♫ Oh~ time stopped in the cooling September ♫
♫ Oh~ falling leaves became a bookmark of evidence ♫
♫ Oh~ We came together in September ♫
- Sit here, please. I want to show you something. - Okay.
Have a look at this.
Isn't that Monica, the super model?
Wasn't she dating some fat guy in the industry? What's his name?
- Alan McQueen. - That's it.
Yeah. But the problem is not that.
The point is the dress that she is wearing.
This is Stephen's design without letting her know.
- Okay, yeah. That's gonna be a problem. - And Stephen is really mad.
I mean really, really mad.
She wants to sue the girl but the girl is innocent.
She just bought it from a small boutique.
It only costs $30,000.
Boutique called Summer and ran by a freelance designer from China.
No, hold up. Did you say Summer?
Yeah. Summer.
It's located in 209 Century Avenue.
Yeah, she wants to sue her for all damages.
You know Stephen, she just cannot stand this.
To me, my true love rival is the other Sheng Xia.
- The other Sheng Xia? - The other Sheng Xia
will give up her life for her job and for her dream,
neglect the value of my existence.
The color red and this Chinese knot symbolizes not only Chinese traditions,
but can also make the interior of the shop seem brighter.
Also, Boss Zhu, this design follows the slimming fit of the Chinese qipao,
allowing all the waitresses who wear this
to be a part of this bright scenery.
Boss Zhu, you don't like it?
No. No. It's very pretty. I like it a lot.
It's just...
Don't worry. If you don't like it, just say what you don't like.
It's just a little...
not very practical.
Not practical?
If my employees were to wear this,
it seems like it wouldn't be convenient to do their work.
Okay. I'll go back and think of something.
I'll go redesign something and show you.
No. You already came. Don't leave.
Let me get you some Bak Kut Teh.
Thank you, Boss Zhu.
You're quite calm. A restaurant owner being nit-picky with your designs,
you aren't mad at all?
What's a little setback?
When I was attending fashion design school,
when the teacher critiqued our works, he was much harsher.
Being verbally abused means nothing either let alone critiquing my work.
This is all so we can build up an impenetrable heart of steel.
Also, don't think you're the only one who's been through setbacks in life.
If we really look into it, who knows who's been through more.
Amazing.
Here. You look like you're drooling.
Here, Zhengzheng.
- Thank you. - Zhengzheng, let me tell you.
I think that you are a very good fashion designer.
Really. I'm not lying to you at all.
I have thought about it for a long time. I just never had the guts to tell you.
You know, today when those bosses saw their designs of the shoes
and furniture, they had no reaction.
Until they saw your clothing designs.
Their expressions, let me tell you... I'm not exaggerating at all.
Wow, that's too much. This is so fresh.
He's not exaggerating! Let him finish!
This refrigerator's cooling drawer is amazing.
The landlord gave us such a big refrigerator. The rent is really worth it.
Let me tell you. Stop messing around with the refrigerator.
Wait, wait. Let me ask you.
When do they decide whether or not they'll be holding the event? I'm so anxious.
Also, does this pretty much mean that the clothes I designed will be seen all over Beijing?
Based on my experience, I think
this will probably happen in these next few days.
Do you know what I do?
I do marketing. Do you know what the most important thing in marketing is?
- It's efficiency! Many things become a done deal in minutes! - Exactly.
Let's not mention in Beijing, they have those physical stores and big shopping malls.
Even online, I tell you, things that people are fighting to buy are definitely not a problem.
Shao Lin...
I'll go buy some take out.
Plus these fresh fruits, we don't have to go set up shop on the streets today.
- Let's celebrate. - Celebrate!
Eat hot pot! Everything will be hot!
Don't order takeout. Let me take care of dinner tonight.
I'd like to celebrate the future famous designer.
Why are you so generous, Bro?
- Show-off. - I have a call.
He's calling.
We were just talking about him and he's calling.
Hurry and answer it.
President Cao? It's me. It's me.
What did you say? The program will be...
No, it's fine. It's fine.
Next time then.
We will partner if another chance comes.
It's fine. It's not a big deal, right?
Anyways, this happens. This is quite normal. Nothing is 100% guaranteed, right?
Next time. Next time will be better.
I... Why don't I...
leave first? I still have to set up the street booth later.
I'm leaving. Bye-bye.
Zhengzheng.
♫ Sleep owes a chance for the eyes to open ♫
Zhengzheng.
♫ It will never see this true world ♫
Bro, you have really "good timing."
I didn't choose the time. It was President Cao.
♫ That goodbye or never to see each other again ♫
Are we still ordering takeout?
You look like takeout.
♫ The finish line is behind with just a step away ♫
♫ Expectations are stranded, tossing and turning in the sleepless night ♫
♫ Placing those longings underneath the pillow ♫
- Your coffee. - Thank you.
The usual Portuguese egg tarts?
Yes.
♫ Nine to five shift got me jaded right now ♫
♫ Lights out ♫
♫ We’re starting with nothing but wishes ♫
♫ Ended up making that chump change ♫
♫ There in the back of the kitchen, wipin' all the dirty dishes ♫
♫ Feels like I never existed ♫
♫ Cuz’ all they be telling me, telling me “none of yo' business” ♫
♫ Every pinch lingers in all my senses ♫
♫ But baby would you notice my existence ♫
Don't do that with me.
Morning.
Why did you call me over here?
No reason. I just wanted to take you out for a stroll.
Annoying.
I don't have time to hang out. I'm leaving now.
Where are you going?
Back to the studio. I still haven't finished Boss Zhu's design.
What can you design back at the studio?
You have designed for a whole day and got nothing done.
What can I do hanging around on the streets, wasting my time?
Don't you need to design clothes?
If you don't see the people that are wearing clothes, how will you design them?
People? I have seen them for 20-some years, what is there to see?
Okay. Then tell me why I'm dressed like this today.
It's convenient. Jeans, jacket, and a hoodie.
99 men out of 100 wear this.
Then tell me why they wore that.
Many brands right now like to collaborate with these black celebrities.
Like Kanye's shoes, they were sold out all over the world immediately.
Young people follow trends. It's quite normal for them to dress like that.
Have you thought about these people that like street culture,
why they love to wear baggy pants and gold necklaces?
Do you know?
Because most of these kids come from low-income black families.
They can only wear their dad's and brothers' clothes.
So their clothes are always baggy.
They love playing on the street.
There aren't any instruments or toys on the streets.
They just listen to music, dance freely, and beatbox.
Gradually, those integrate into part of their street culture and trend.
Their culture and trend are then preserved.
Gradually, it became today's standards:
white sneakers, baggy jeans, and gold chains.
I didn't think that you would know this.
I don't understand design. You don't understand life.
But design comes from living life.
Only the best players can be seen in a great theater.
And you're the only girl I brought to see the show.
Of course, I want to share the most beautiful things with the most beautiful girl.
Is this what I have?
Excuse me.
Hank?
Jia Xiaduo? Why are you here?
Why are you here?
I came to see the show.
- How are you doing? - Hi, I'm Madrid.
Hank.
I guess my seat is over there. Do you mind...
Okay. Thank you.
Do you guys know each other?
Well, she's a friend of my friend. So I guess yes.
Hank, can you come outside for a minute?
Come outside with me.
It's about to start.
You followed me.
I followed you?
I'm the stalker? Why?
You're not wearing your police uniform so you're not here for work.
You didn't bring a female companion so you're not here for dating.
You don't seem to be the artistic type.
You're a policeman. You actually like watching plays?
I want to watch.
That simple?
It's that simple.
You're not following me?
Of course, it's not because of you. You are overthinking it, young lady. It's about to start.
Wait! I have a request.
Say it.
Can you not sit there? Can you sit somewhere else?
Excuse me.
Please.
- Why? - Please.
- Okay. - Thank you.
No worries.
Yeah, I just...
♫ The leaves on the trees and the sun in the breeze will dance with me ♫
♫ When you came along with the stars falling down surrounding me ♫
♫ That is so fascinating ♫
♫ Hard for me to imagine ♫
♫ To put in a word I guess it's ♫
After you fall, do you realize how painful it is.
But it isn't the crappy excuse to stay in the same spot and cry.
It is a good reason to encourage me to stand back up.
Failure is unavoidable, so I'll just change my way of thinking and start again.
As long as I don't give up,
I can definitely get past that barrier.
Only if I don't give up do I have the chance to prove myself
and not let down the people who cheer me on.
- Morning. - Morning.
You're so early.
I'm helping Sheng Xia pack. She'll need to use sunblock.
Is she awake?
Sheng Xia. It's time to get up, Sheng Xia.
You didn't sleep for the whole night again?
What time is it?
It's late. It's also going to be awhile on the road.
Kaven, can we make it back in time tonight?
I haven't finished the design sketch yet.
It'll be difficult. If we do, you won't be able to relax.
Then I'll go to the restroom to wash my face and freshen up.
Sheng Xia.
Once you start working, it's like you don't even care for your own life.
The energy you use is more than if we go hiking.
How about this?
Let's go another day. The waterfall isn't going anywhere. Just get a good rest first.
Thank you, Kaven.
Don't mention it. Go on in and rest.
[Shen Kai]
There's only one sunblock left? It's only enough for Sheng Xia to use.
By the time they get back, the color of their skin will be made different by the entire Pacific Ocean. What should I do?
Kaven, where is Sheng Xia?
Sleeping.
Sleeping? I've finished packing for her.
She's so tired. She won't be able to play if she goes.
It's just changing the place to sleep.
She can sleep in the car. I'll go get her.
Wait! It's fine. I'm used to it.
We've dated for three years. We've always dated according to her work schedule.
Such a pity. Everything was prepared.
I had planned everything last week already.
Niagara Falls is probably extremely stunning.
Do you want to go?
Life is like traveling. Even if we have a foolproof strategy,
it can't guarantee a successful departure.
Sometimes, the mix up of the plan
gives you an opportunity to see different scenery.
It's because life is full of unknowns
that you can never predict the outcome of your journey.
So we have to be prepared to depart at any time.
As well as be mentally prepared to accept any accidents.

♫ I am no longer anxious living in your heart, your voice echos unceasingly ♫
♫ Telling myself to be strong ♫
♫ You are my safe haven ♫
♫ During my most desperate moment, you returned ♫
♫ (During my most desperate moment, you returned) ♫
