You are a mark of memory.
Love comes quietly.
I paint you without knowing.
You are a diary in my heart.
Sometimes, it can be casual.
Sometimes, every word is remembered clearly.
I search to meet you by chance.
I'm most willing to lose to you.
Your love is irreplaceable.
Untie all the knots in your mind. Tell me.
This dream finally ends now.
This moment is when
the fragrance of flowers pervades the sky.
The air seems to deliver electric shocks.
The faces look elated.
Waiting as the wind blows over.
Love arrives. The whole season
believes in the fable of happiness.
Until the end.
Tomorrow is going to be wonderful.
The Chang'An Youth
Episode 9
Come on, guys.
All right.
Thanks to you,
I suffered nothing more than a scare today.
I, Shen Dieyi, would like to toast you all.
I, Tang Jiuhua,
would like to toast you together with Dieyi.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Dugu.
We are good brothers.
Let's drink.
Here.
Diviner.
Let us have a drink.
Drink it up.
Shouldn't we drink a toast to Zi'an?
Zi'an is the reason
we can celebrate happily here.
Come on.
A toast to Zi'an!
Delightful!
Zi'an,
who could have thought?
A little liquor usually satisfies you.
But now, you've displayed such a high alcohol tolerance.
Zi'an, I see you are actually a great drinker.
I must toast you once again.
Cheers.
Dieyi, you have drunk too much. Refrain.
Diviner, you have talked too much today.
I should drink a toast to you.
Less talking. Drink!
Dugu, why aren't you talking?
You're too quiet. Let me drink with you.
Dieyi, why don't you drink with me?
Tang Jiuhua.
You talk
neither too much nor too less.
A toast.
Drink it up. Drink it up.
Fill the bowl.
Drink it up.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Cheers. Drink it up.
Where is liquor?
Slow down. Slow down.
- Liquor is nearby. - Give me liquor.
Dieyi. Dieyi.
Drink!
I will rest here for a while.
Please take Dieyi back.
Okay. Take care.
No more drinking?
Dieyi, slow down.
Let's continue.
Steady. Steady.
Watch your steps.
I'm fine. I'm perfectly sober.
Dieyi, Dieyi, slow down.
Dieyi, Dieyi, be careful.
Watch your steps.
Dieyi. Dieyi.
Dieyi, are you alright?
Water... Got any water?
Water. Okay. Hold on.
I will fetch you water.
Drink.
No one leaves.
Drink it up.
Drink.
Drink. No one leaves.
No one leaves.
Dieyi.
Drink it up.
Dieyi.
Drink.
Cheers.
Drink it up.
Don't leave.
Drink.
Don't leave.
Dieyi.
Don't leave. No one leaves.
Come on, drink.
More.
Dieyi.
You...
You are drunk. I'll get going.
Zi'an.
Don't go.
You stinky tofu,
skunk.
All you do is scold me.
Can't you see that
I like you?

Dieyi. Dieyi.
This Sinan Pendant. This pattern...
Could it be...
Zi'an. Zi'an.
Dieyi. Dieyi.
How are you feeling with the hangover?
I'm feeling better.
Sure, you are better, but Yang Zi'an is miserable.
Mr. Yang, your pulse is weak.
It indicates a cold.
You should follow a bland diet
and spend more time reposing. It will prevent you from catching another cold.
Thank you, doctor.
How is the stinky tofu?
Zi'an was fine
when he left our room last night.
I have no idea what happened after that.
Zi'an entered our room yesterday?
Yeah.
When I returned to our room last night,
I came across Zi'an
who was rushing out of our room.
He almost bumped into me.
I can't remember anything.
How are you feeling?
Better.
Zi'an.
Why were you
at the well curb yesterday?
I think
I was drunk.
Xinyuan just said you came to our room last night.
Did I
do something to you?
What can you do to me?
Yeah.
I really can't remember anything.
It's okay.
I remember nothing as well.
No worries.
Good.
Zi'an.
You are awake.
Didn't the doctor advise you to rest more?
Dieyi.
I have pretty much recovered.
You don't have to do this.
You have not recovered completely.
You still need help with a lot of things.
No need to be polite with me.
I took notes in class for you.
What is this? It tastes so bitter.
It's medicine.
Put on your clothes.
You'll be sick again if you don't wear enough.
You won't recover if you don't wear enough.
- You are sick. - Stop following me.
If only
you would always be with me like this.
How nice it would be.
Yang Zi'an.
You-you are thinking wildly again.
Dieyi is a man.
How can you imagine such a nasty thing?
Dieyi.
I'm feeling alright.
It's better not to trouble you.
Go about your business.
Don't walk so fast.
I'm not afraid of coldness.
You'll catch a cold at this pace.
You have not recovered yet.
What if your condition worsens?
Put on your clothes.
Stop following me.
Then put your clothes on.
Zi'an. Why are you leaving again?
Stop following me.
Don't be stubborn.
Put your clothes on.
Otherwise, you'll become ill.
Trust me.
Tangtang.
What's wrong? You can just talk to me over there.
Why so mysterious?
Dieyi, tell me
why you care about Yang Zi'an so much.
What has happened between you two?
Nothing.
I made him drunk when we were drinking that day.
It led to his illness. I feel guilty,
and I want to make it up to him.
Is that all?
That's all.
Then why do I feel that
you like him?
What-what are you babbling about?
Dieyi, I was just saying.
Don't be mad.
I just think...
Tangtang.
If someday Dieyi...
If I disappear and never come back someday,
what would you do?
How can you not come back?
Dieyi, are you really mad?
I admit that I have a despicable mind.
How can you possibly like Yang the nerd?
I, Tang Jiuhua, the most handsome and elegant man
in the world surely suits you the best.
You are my wife.
No one can take you away.
Who are you calling your wife?
Cut the nonsense.
Keep quiet.
Lu.
Young master, how is your medical condition?
Master is worried. He wishes to see you.
Go back and tell my father that I have recovered
and he can stop worrying.
Master said he needed to discuss affairs with you.
What do you say?
Tell my father that I will meet with him at noon in the restaurant tomorrow.
Excuse me then.
Bai.
Boss.
What are you playing with?
A seal.
A seal? Let me see.
Dieyi. Look.
Bai, where did you get this?
Well,
seals of this kind are all over the streets.
Dieyi.
This thing really isn't rare.
It's everywhere.
How can it be?
I see this clue is a dead end.
We have to find other clues.
It's the only way.
Alright. It's pretty late.
My grandma told me to go home.
You should have some rest.
Go now.
Dieyi.
Xinyuan.
What's wrong?
I think you have been
staying too close to Zi'an.
I'm a little worried.
Worried about what?
I worry that other people
might find out your secret.
Don't worry. I will be careful. Very careful.
I will never let him find out.
I should get back now.
Wait, Dieyi.
There's one more thing I need to tell you.
What is it?
What?
Are you saying it's a royal item?
I just think
this Sinan Pendant carries a familiar pattern.
The pattern resembles some court patterns.
Dieyi,
how come your family owns it?
I...
It's related to Dieyi's origin.
In any case,
I should consult Tangtang before making any decisions.
But I promised Xinyuan that
I won't reveal his identity to anyone.
What if Tangtang asks me how I learned of it?
How should I answer him?
Dieyi. Dieyi.
Every generation of my family trades.
My ancestors dealt with the nomads.
Perhaps the pendant's pattern felt unique to them.
They bought the pendant without thinking.
And I have been wearing it like an amulet since childhood.
I didn't know it was a royal item.
I see.
Xinyuan.
Don't tell this to anyone.
Dieyi, don't worry.
I won't tell anyone.
Pinky swear.
Dieyi, can you do me a favor tomorrow?
I would do you ten favors.
Good.
= Changsheng Restaurant =
Diviner.
What a grand gesture.
Dieyi.
I have ordered a table full of dishes.
Seriously, Diviner? Such a hearty meal.
Let's go in.
Alright.
Say it out, Diviner.
Ask me for whatever you want.
I...
It's hard to say it out.
If you are not talking, I will leave.
Dieyi, don't leave.
I'm telling you now.
I have
fallen in love with a girl.
Diviner, I didn't know.
Dieyi, don't poke fun at me.
I'm not poking fun at you.
I'd rather congratulate you.
Your Highness,
is the girl you love
from a common family?
Alright. No more kidding.
Do you need me to help you
write a love letter to her?
No need for that.
I simply have feelings for her.
I don't know how she feels.
Listen to me. You should just tell her.
Otherwise, someone else might steal her.
I want to invite her to this place and confess my love.
But I don't know how to confess.
I also don't know
whether it will scare her.
So...
I see.
However, I have no experience in this field.
Maybe you should seek Tangtang's help.
He grew up around girls.
He definitely has experience.
No, I can't seek Tangtang's help.
You are right.
An'er, here you are.
Tangtang is a man.
He wouldn't understand a girl's heart.
I heard that you were sick.
The weather has been variable lately.
Be careful. Wear enough clothes.
Watch what you eat and drink.
Don't worry, father.
I'm all well.
I heard that you wanted to talk to me.
It's about the bad money case.
His Majesty attaches great importance to that case.
Tell me the details.
My advice is,
the place
and the method
are not important,
only your sincerity matters.
Of course, I have all the sincerity in the world.
I just don't know
how she feels.
Dieyi, you have no idea
how different she is from other girls.
She gets angry when she needs to.
She insults people when she wants to.
She even fights when she becomes too mad.
She follows no rules. She can even be somewhat unreasonable.
Dieyi.
Hey, Xinyuan,
isn't that Zi'an?
Dieyi,
did you hear what I just said?
Sorry. Go on. Go on.
Actually, she felt familiar to me
when I first met her.
That's what happened.
But I think
it's not that simple.
We have only caught the minions,
not the mastermind.
The bad money templates come from an unknown source.
Few people have access to the money templates.
I think the case has something to do with the court officials.
Are you burned?
I'm alright.
Look at me.
At this age, my limbs are no longer mine to control.
I have become useless.
An'er.
I trust your judgment.
I will pay attention to
those who have access to the money templates.
Be careful while you investigate the case.
Eat the porridge.
It will get cold soon.
Thank you, father.
What's the matter? Haven't you recovered already?
I have got much better.
No need to worry about me, father.
You should
take care of yourself.
Yes.
I will take care.
Father.
I have no appetite.
I'm going back to Shangyi School.
Alright.
At first,
I thought I only had
feelings for her as a friend.
Then I gradually realized that
my feelings for her were different from my feelings for others.
Not until now do I know
I don't like her as a friend,
I like her in a romantic way.
Diviner.
Zi'an seems to be in trouble.
I'll go check it out.
Dieyi, you know what,
that girl is you!
Dieyi.
I'd better not be right
about your feelings for Zi'an.
Your cyan skirt has always caught my heart.
When will you notice
my feelings for you?
Does Zi'an like Dieyi as well?
No.
Zi'an should be unaware of
the fact that Dieyi is a girl.
Yang Zi'an.
I was dining with Xinyuan in the restaurant just then.
And I saw you sitting nearby,
you coughed and then left.
I was a little worried about you. So I came after you.
I'm alright. I just choked by accident.
Who is the man dining with you?
My father.
Well, why were you dining with Xinyuan?
Xinyuan told me that he fell in love with someone.
He probably can't make up his mind
and seeks advice from me.
He cares much about Tangtang,
Xinyuan and Dugu as well.
Why should I bother?
Can you work or not?
Has nobody taught you how to do this?
How many times have you tainted it?
Look at what you have done to me.
How am I supposed to wear them now?
What is this?
A luminous glazed cup.
A luminous glazed cup?
Yes.
Can it shine at night?
How many times have I told you? Look at what you did.
I told you to go. Can't you hear?
Little witch?
You have ruined several of
my lady's favorite dresses.
Don't try to serve if you can't.
Go now.
Just a few dresses.
Is this necessary?
I'm scolding my servant.
Stay out of it.
I prefer to meddle.
Not only do you
bother Dieyi,
but you also bully
a kid who is so little.
It's none of your business.
I...
Still not going?
I will hit you.
I thought you were
just a capricious rich girl.
I didn't know you were so vicious.
It's none of your business.
My lady.
Stop following me.
Stop.
I'm talking to you.
Stop following me, you nuisance.
Stop.
What do you want?
What's up with that little girl...
My lady. My lady.
Thank you, my lady.
Get up.
Take the money.
When you find your parents,
write a letter to me, let me know you are safe.
Can you still write
the characters I taught you?
Remember, be careful,
don't let anyone abduct you again.
You won't meet
another beautiful and kind-hearted fairy like me.
Thank you, my lady. Thank you, my lady.
Go.
Eh...
What just happened?
Am I not an unreasonable
and heartless little witch?
Aren't you afraid that I will eat you alive for talking to me?
There must be a misunderstanding.
Please tell me
what happened.
My butler bought
the kid at the market.
I thought she was abandoned
and sold at her own will.
But it turns out she was abducted.
Rules are formulated in my family,
so I had to find an excuse to throw her out.
I see.
So you are actually humane.
Well,
I apologize to you for wronging you just then.
Save your apology.
What is this?
It's mine. Consider it your apology made to me.
Not that.
Little witch.
Give it back.
Boss.
The foods have been
carrying weird flavors lately.
Is that so?
Let me try.
This dish is too salty.
Is salt free these days?
Dieyi, how about we dine at Ningxiang Pavilion?
We came to Shangyi School to study.
Don't nitpick all the time.
Yang Zi'an.
Zi'an is right.
Mr. Yang, go on eating.
It's better not to nitpick in school.
Alright. Alright.
I'll head to the kitchen and cook some dishes for you.
Dieyi, you are so nice.
Aunt Zhang, I'm here to use your kitchen.
It's you, Mr. Shen.
Aunt Li, where is Aunt Zhang?
Forget it.
Aunt Zhang has lost her kid. She can't come to work.
She has lost her kid?
Yeah.
Aunt Zhang got off work that day
and went home, only to find that her kid was missing.
She searched every nook and cranny of Chang'An,
but failed to find her kid.
I heard that she notified the government.
The government said the kid went out to play
and will definitely come back home.
Now a dozen days have passed.
Her kid is still nowhere to be seen.
I heard that Aunt Zhang has fallen ill.
She's acting like a lunatic.
Gosh. Poor Aunt Zhang.
Has the government said anything?
The government?
The government we have is conscienceless.
Now Aunt Zhang is gone.
And we can't find anyone to replace her.
We have to make do.
Alright. Alright.
Consider yourselves lucky.
From now on, I will be helping you.
Great.
Help me wash the dishes.
Here, the dishes are coming.
Thank you, Dieyi.
I'll start eating.
I heard that Aunt Zhang from the kitchen has lost her kid.
It's been a dozen days.
Aunt Zhang is worried like a maniac.
How did she lose her kid?
Has she notified the government?
What did the government say?
I heard the government didn't help her.
No way.
A person has gone missing.
Maybe we should visit Aunt Zhang
and ask about the situation.
Yes, we should visit her.
I'll be helping the kitchen these days.
Dieyi, you are so nice.
Not really. Go easy on the flattery.
Thank you for your hard work.
Dieyi, you can't keep it going.
I didn't know being a chef is this hard.
Can I fulfill my dream or not?
Dream? What is your dream?
My dream is to become a great chef.
A great chef?
But I really can't keep it going.
The Black-faced Master has criticized me repeatedly.
And the kitchen hasn't been able to
find a new female chef.
By the way,
how was your trip to
Aunt Zhang's house? How is she doing?
Now that you have brought it up...
Zi'an. There is Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang.
Kid, come back.
Uncle, what is...
Who are you?
Uncle, we are students of Shangyi School.
We heard what happened to your family.
So we came here to visit you.
Is there any clue to your kid's whereabouts?
You just heard it.
The kid hasn't come home yet.
What did the government say?
The government did nothing at first,
claiming that our kid ran away for fun and got lost.
But then more and more kids went missing.
The government started to investigate.
You mean some other families
have lost their children too?
That's right.
I heard that more than ten children have gone missing these days.
More than ten.
Now we don't even have the courage
to leave our houses for work,
worrying that our children would be lost.
But we won't get paid without going out to work.
We can't live like this.
Uncle, take these.
Thank you.
Come on, Zi'an.
Thank you.
That's why
no one is applying for the chef's job.
I also think something is wrong.
Dieyi.
What's on your mind?
Nothing.
A number of children went missing
right when the bad money case was solved.
Can it be that
these cases
are related?
Stay home. Do you hear me?
How dare you run away when I was eating?
I'll teach you a lesson as soon as we get home.
Let's go.
The cries and that kid.
When the officers arrived,
though some people had escaped already,
the food left
were much more than what those arrested people could have.
Perhaps this crime
is committed by the culprits of the bad money case.
The seal is torn. Someone came here.
Why are you sighing?
I'm the beaten one.
I should be sighing.
Did you hit me
so hard on purpose?
You shouldn't have stood behind me
without calling me.
I didn't have time to call you.
Before I could stand still,
you threw a punch at me.
Sorry. My apologies.
By the way, what brought you here?
I think these two cases
are related to each other.
So, I came to search for clues.
These two cases basically happened at the same time.
Children started to disappear as the bad money case surfaced.
However,
the number of missing children was small back then. It didn't catch the government's attention.
Now the culprits are abducting children again.
My guess is that after the bad money mint got destroyed
and we blocked their source of income,
they have no choice but to make money through child abduction.
That's what I have been thinking.
Moreover, I remember that
someone bumped into me
when I was kidnapped.
The height...
Stop!
...felt like a child.
He was soon caught though.
That must be an abducted child trying to run away.
Let's search for more pieces of evidence here.
Look around.
Have you found anything?
I found some children's garments.
I also found some children's garments.
What a coincidence.
Let's go.
Come on.
Dieyi.
Although
we have found no evidence this time,
I hope
you won't tell anyone about it,
lest the evidence should be leaked
and found by ill-hearted people.
Don't worry.
I understand.
Never mind.
You should not intervene in this case.
I worry that you might be in danger.
I did bring you trouble last time,
but that was purely accidental.
This time, I definitely will...
Anyway,
I no longer need your help.
Yang Zi'an.
Didn't I just help you?
Those who abducted the children
are damnable.
I want to solve the case as soon as possible.
I want the children to reunite with their families.
You don't understand.
If the children lose their parents,
they will be bullied and mocked.
And that's not even the hardest part.
The hardest part is
as time goes by,
they might forget what their parents are like.
Perhaps, they would forget the route to
their homes after they escape.
Dieyi.
This case
is not as simple as you think.
Please let me help you,
Zi'an.
Only if you promise me that
you will listen to me.
I promise you.
What a dork.
A promise has been made.
It's a deal then. This is it. No changes.
I'll get going.
Dieyi.
What are you talking about?
What's wrong with your eye?
It's alright.
A donkey kicked me in the eye.
A donkey kicked you?
Let's cut to the chase.
We are investigating a case of missing children.
No doubt, the children didn't go missing on their own.
I suspect this case is related to the bad money case.
Related to the bad money case?
Hold on.
You just said the children didn't go missing on their own.
These people have gone too far.
To protect their interests,
they don't even spare the children.
It's really outrageous.
Dieyi.
Let me join you in investigating.
I can't believe such an atrocity
has taken place in the capital.
I won't stand by.
Dieyi.
I'd like to join you too.
I have nothing better to do.
Count me in.
Zi'an.
Our time is limited.
There is strength in numbers.
Why not let them join us in investigating?
The last few children who went missing
disappeared at these places.
Therefore I think
the culprits live around here.
They are familiar with this area.
Xinyuan,
your idea is pretty unique.
I can't help but admire you.
Have you noticed that
all these crime scenes
come down to one place?
Yeah.
And that place is...
...the incense burner.
The incense burner?
That's Ningxiang Pavilion.
It's Ningxiang Pavilion again.
It seems we should keep a close watch on Ningxiang Pavilion,
and see if anyone looks suspicious.
Dugu,
you are the best fighter among us.
I'll leave this job to you.
Okay.
But
why do they abduct children?
Dieyi,
you should know that
all the families of merchants and officials
have dozens of maids and servants,
especially those
rich families with children.
They want their children to
grow up with
a pageboy or maid.
It catalyzes
many child abduction cases.
I can't believe children are abducted for this reason.
Damn you rich people.
I never participated in this kind of things.
I just heard it from the little witch.
I can ask her for information.
How about we divide the work?
I'll try to learn about
the latest developments in the government's cases.
Dugu,
you will go to Ningxiang Pavilion
and see if anyone looks suspicious.
Tang Jiuhua,
you will ask about
the recent situation of slave trade.
Xinyuan,
you will search for other clues.
Two days later,
we will decide the next step of our operation.
What will I do?
Dieyi,
you can come with me.
Xinyuan,
I think it's better for Dieyi to stay in Shangyi School.
He can keep us in touch.
Now that we are working as a team,
we should give our team an awesome name.
We are
the Five Tigers of Shangyi School.
Dieyi,
the name sounds kind of vulgar.
What do you know?
What is crudest is the most noble.
If you have any good ideas,
say it out.
Dieyi,
how about the Five Scholars of Shangyi School?
- The Five Scholars? - Xinyuan.
Why are you messing around with him?
I think Dieyi's idea is brilliant.
Besides, it can boost our morale.
It's nice.
Alright. That's it.
We will be
the Five Scholars of Shangyi School.
Wait,
now that we have an awesome name,
we should come up with an imposing hand gesture.
Check it out.
The Five Scholars of Shangyi School.
Be serious.
Did you see that?
That was amazing.
It's settled then.
From now on,
we are
the Five Scholars of
Shangyi School.
The Five Scholars of Shangyi School!
Look back at that day.
Memories slip through time.
Caress your face in the air.
For a moment,
it's partly visible.
Thinking about you day and night.
Many scenes
come to mind.
Time stops.
Hard to sleep.
How I wish to tell.
From the day I met you,
my world has been all about you.
Maybe
every time we pass by each other,
we do it because destiny says so.
How to bury the past between me and you?
How I wish to tell.
From the day I met you,
my world has been all about you.
The figure
blurs in the wind.
The smile is flowery.
Right now, all I want to say is
I love you.
