♫ Legend has it that humans long ago ♫
♫ Lived in the darkness far underground ♫
♫ They dispatched the dainty hummingbird ♫
♫ To find the tunnel leading to the light ♫
♫ 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 ♫
♫ I have an idea of becoming the sun ♫
♫ Sometimes I am lonely, I can barely carry the burden ♫
♫ The words are stuck in my throat with no one to tell ♫
♫ What exactly are we pursuing? ♫
♫ Why do we continuously, unceasingly push forward? ♫
♫ The hands that are bleeding from clenching forgot that they can take a small step back ♫
♫ We always thought that we can have freedom ♫
♫ Turning back we see that world is still the same ♫
♫ When love arrives, clench your fist ♫
♫ Don’t forget to grab ♫
♫ That dream ♫
♫ The wings that flap in a place of loneliness ♫
♫ Finally found you to soar together ♫
♫ Insignificant yet brought us the legend ♫

Wait in Beijing
Episode 19
But you leaving
I really don't want to.
Didn't think that the person sending me would be you.
I hope the next time I meet you, I've subdued Xu Tian.
Goodbye. Bye.
Follow me.
Going where? Xu Tian.
I'm going back. My flight is at 8.
If I didn't come, would you quietly leave and not tell me?
I would have sent you a message after getting on the plane.
That's a notice, I can only quietly accept it.
Going Beijing is my own business. I didn't need to discuss it with you.
Really? What happened to your contract vigor?
We have a contract. Are you planning to walk away from it?
Relax.
If you want the penalty fee, I'll send it to you when I'm in Beijing.
- I... - I won't miss a single cent that I owe you.
I don't need you to care for my community service order either. Goodbye.
Wait.
What?
Take a look yourself.
Fashion Week
This is the place you should go.
Fashion Week
I won't go. This place doesn't need me.
Then what do I do?
♫ A sudden downpour drenched the entire world ♫
♫ In the fuzziness, only your face is clear and distinct ♫
I'm going to be late. It's 8 o'clock flight. The tickets were expensive.
♫ A sudden curiosity pushed me to appear in front of you ♫
Some tickets are so expensive that they won't be able to be bought again.
♫ The midnight train gradually getting closer and further apart ♫
♫ This feeling is both suddenly bright and suddenly dark ♫
I know.
♫ Lies became so kindhearted and considerate ♫
I know that this is a hard opportunity to get.
But this already has no association with me.
♫ I concealed myself for you but in reality you didn’t see that I let you win ♫
Goodbye.
♫ Oh~ time stopped in the cooling September ♫
Life is extremely limited. That's why people tell you not to waste it on regret.
I will be at the show waiting for you. Waiting for you to show up.
♫ Finally understanding after the rain stopped ♫
Regret takes up too much space.
Our heart should be reserved for more worthy things.
♫ Everything became ♫
Rather take it upon myself to do something for you.
Afraid that you will actually miss it, you'll regret it forever.
Your heart will be filled, no space for anything else.
♫ Lies became so kindhearted and considerate ♫
I gotta say...
Steven wants you to deliver this to her office right now.
Right now?
Steven. Steven.
You promised me that I can stand on the stage with you.
Coco. Take the documents to my office. I'll see you there.
Boss.
I worked so hard for the show.
Show is about to start. Why aren't you going in? What are you doing?
I'm waiting for someone who is about to come.
Hey, what's up? I'm here.
Hurry, the good seats will be gone soon.
Hey. Yes.
♫ Turning in circles, turning in circles, suddenly lost ♫
♫ Rain is pouring in the city during the night ♫
Hello Xu Tian.
Ladies and Gentlemen. The show is about to start.
We are going to see a new collection by Steven.
For Spring and Summer 2021.
Do you hear it? Steven's big show is about to start. Do you remember why you started designing?
♫ Fingertips touch fragments of the lighthouse ♫
♫ Please remember whatever you do ♫
♫ I'll be there singing at the top of my voice ♫
♫ For me, you draped the night over your shoulders ♫
♫ The plot happened secretly within ♫
♫ Don't spend time, don't spend time. Who is uneasy? ♫
♫ Brooklyn, the sky spins and the earth goes around ♫
Why did you just come?
♫ I try to prove I always love you ♫
I thought it was you who always pulled me to chase my dreams,
but unconsciously, you have become a part of my dream.
That's so awesome.
Thank you.
And I have some exciting concepts for next season too.
Thank you for coming. You can take yourself to the backstage and we will have more interviews there.
No. Why not?
I'm scared.
- Don't be scared. You won't have another chance. Go! - I can't!
Hello.
Hi.
I'm your fan. Thank you.
So could I take a picture with you? Sure.
Really? Yes quickly.
Thank you.
I like your design. Thank you.
Wow.
You are in there too. Why did you take a picture of me?
I took so many pictures.
Look at your expression, you look foolish.
What is it?
No.
This is your chance to meet your idol.
This is probably very important to them.
You can return it to her yourself.
Think about it.
Oh my. Be careful. You are wearing high heels. Why don't I do it?
It's fine. I'm happy.
Will Sheng Xia come back?
What do you mean?
Pretend I didn't say anything.
Han Ke, if you don't want to see Sheng Xia, you can go to China.
Perfectly, it'll be only me and Xu Tian here. Our own world.
That's not what I meant.
What if we throw away Sheng Xia's stuff and she comes back...
There's no what if. No what if.
- Throw it all away. - I'll throw it all away. Be careful.
- Throw it away! - Be careful.
You guys are here too?
Sheng Xia, you are back.
Selena, Sheng Xia isn't leaving. She is going to continue to stay for a while.
Brother, bring this luggage in for me.
I rented it out.
Right. I already rented the basement out.
Rent it out?
She just left and you rented it out?
Yeah. I rented it out today.
The tenant will move in tomorrow morning.
Okay. Then she has to stay here tonight.
We can't do that. He already paid today.
So it's already his. I have no say.
It's ok Salina. I can just stay at a hotel.
Sorry.
Okay. Sheng Xia won't live here and will never live here.
From now on, she lives at my house.
Xu Tian. What are you doing? Can you not understand a joke?
I didn't rent it out.
Hank, go.
Sheng Xia, welcome back. I saved it for you.
Your scheming ability is amazing.
Drink less. Have some water.
You say does Xu Tian like Sheng Xia?
It's definitely like.
No, I mean... I'm not sure if it's love.
Then what is it?
Does he like her?
Do you think I should say it's love or not?
I'm asking you.
Perhaps. Maybe.
It's seems like going in that direction.
Say.
Like.
Like. How can he like her?
She is someone with a boyfriend.
They broke up.
Xu Tian has a girlfriend.
You?
Not okay? Is it not okay that it's me?
You are his friend.
What about friend?
Going domestic, not foreign trade?
Why such an exaggerated reaction?
But your factory has always been exporting for foreign trade, but now if you're not anymore
then you have reassess the domestic market.
And also reopen a domestic distribution channel.
Did you not take in to account the cost?
I did account the costs. This is the only way.
Exporting in the foreign market was the high aspiration during that year for your company.
He left out of the country,
and left you behind and made the factory.
I don't believe you'll give up.
I understand, you want domestic and not foreign.
You and Old Tan...
Zhao Hongping, what about Old Tan and I?
Aren't you and Old Tan, like "distant water cannot quench a fire nearby" [idom].
What fire?
Sister, he's been out of the country for so many years,
without any news,
You should really let it go.
Don't call your factory Shuang Ying Manufacturing,
call it Ying Ming Manufacturing, only domestic no foreign trade.
Every time we meet,
between the two guys, if you don't mention one of them, you talk about the other. This time you mention both.
If you don't mention them, we don't have anything to talk about right?
Of course we have things to talk about.
Last time you called me saying that Sheng Xia
hit a wall.
A couple days, I don't know what happened. She called me
and said that she wants to come back to Beijing and now she won't come back.
I just asked her friend, Jia Xiaoduo.
Xiaoduo also doesn't know what happened.
She makes me worry.
To me, I think she's missing a reliable man by her side.
If she hits an obstacle, the man can come and resolve it.
Her old friend called, Mike?
It's Kevin.
Kevin.
Why don't you try convincing her and let them date?
What's the point on convincing? She's older now and has her own thoughts.
Sis. Hey. Don't think about problems like that.
Like and marriage isn't just one thing.
It's not one person, it's a whole family.
What a good mother.
Your heart is so big, you don't help her get a relationship.
You have a factory, don't you understand the idea of quality control?
That's too ridiculous.
Love needs to be exaggerated and cautious.
Look at Xiao Qin, our relative.
She didn't listen to my words and divorced five times.
What do you think I should do?
I think, she needs a strong approach.
The order needs to be clear and the movement needs to be firm.
You just watch her.
Prepare everything, then you come in with the ultimate move.
Tell Sheng Xia, it's all for her own good.
I am doing it for you.
Sheng Xia
Based on your designs, I can only consider you as a scrapped together student.
You barely know the basics and your thoughts are disorderly without any direction. Most importantly, you have no individuality.
Don't even mention about ideas and work ethic.
How about this? I suggest
you take a look at the works of a Chinese cutting-edge designer Sheng Xia who is abroad.
Her designs have been exhibited at a cutting-edge designer fashion show before.
The way she interprets the figure
and her approach towards the design, is done with unyielding force.
When you look at her designs, you can tell they were made by her.
That is a good designer.
I think that you can learn from her.
Heavens, am I really that bad?
Even if I die doing this, I won't catch up to her.
Zheng Zheng.
Ah?
Zheng Zheng.
What? Hurry!
Coming.
Hurry.
Coming.
- What? - Are a monkey? Jumping out the windows.
- This... - Help me hold it.
- What is this? - Good stuff.
- This is so old. - The Beijing Opera House threw away an outfit.
Our senior opera club is having an upcoming performance.
I can use it. How is it old?
- Look, there's a big hole. - Where?
Of course, would they throw away a new one?
This one has a big hole, but the other ones..
These are all good, I checked.
Look, this is fine.
What do you mean?
You want me to fix these holes?
My daughter is smart.
No.
I'll give money.
How much?
Money is the only thing in your eyes.
Dad, your
This lining has to be fixed, doesn't it?
Plus the embroidery. It needs to be stitched, right?
They all need to be entirely renovated.
Look at these.
Do you see? This is a big project.
No. If you're going to calculate it like that, then I can just buy new ones.
No. Don't The project is a little big.
The point is that we are not in a rush. Right?
Let me tell you, this is what our ancestors left us
It has to be done carefully, paying close attention.
Alright, alright
Before I was doing illustrations. Now, it's mending stage costumes.
I sure have a lot of problems in my fate as a designer.
These are just a few flaws.
All of these are fine.
Okay. Don't sing. You're still singing.
It seems like only those two needs repairs. The rest just need ironed and then they'll be fine.
Dad.
I thought about something.
What sort of nonsense of you thought up?
I thought about it.
Dad. You are the best. Dad.
You're shaking me to pieces again.
Genius
Thank you dad.
Hey, hey.
Uh...You don't need to worry about it. I'll repair these.
No money.
"Where the hills and streams end, there seems no road ahead" [part of old saying: at the end of one's resources]
She's not back to normal yet. Did you forget to take the medicine?
"But after seeing the shady willows and blooming flowers, I come to another village." [continued part of old saying]
"Another village."
♫ I lean on your shoulder and look into the distance ♫
♫ My glances are overflowing ♫
♫ I really want to collect everything ♫
♫ Remember the words you said ♫
♫ Have them sprout in my heart ♫
♫ A world with you in it is heaven ♫
♫ Make use of your wings and take me soaring, I’m not afraid even if the wind is strong ♫
♫ I have you by my side ♫
♫ Going over the highest wall ♫
♫ So we can see the brightest light ♫
♫ I am no longer anxious living in your heart, your voice echos unceasingly ♫
♫ Telling myself to be strong ♫
♫ You are my safe haven ♫
You haven't done anything here. Aren't you supposed to be mending them?
I'm sewing them. I have to draw them first; only then can I mend them for you?
Don't worry dad. Relax.
Get out. You will be deducted money.
I don't want your money. Deduct what money?
Really.
Yes, I understand.
Come in.
Okay.
I'm sure Danny. I understand.
Okay. Um, maybe 30 minutes.
Is it something important?
Steven, I'm really sorry.
Sorry about what?
I can't find the sketches.
I have searched everywhere.
Wait. The sketches I gave you last night.
Yes.
Are you kidding me?
I will keep searching, but I think I should let you know.
No.
I think I should let you know first.
I'll be gone for an hour.
You don't have the sketches in your hand so there is no point of you being here.
[Stephen's sketches]
♫ Every day, large buildings and mansions flash before my eyes ♫
♫ Is it possible to truly obtain myself? ♫
♫ How do I dazzle in this concrete jungle ♫
♫ Time never waits for youth ♫
♫ even if I stand in the middle of an empty plaza ♫
♫ I might not find the soul of my childhood ♫
♫ I yearn for time to stop, ♫
♫ In that moment, in the crowd, ♫
♫ I noticed you and suddenly felt a bit of excitement ♫
♫ Maybe we can bloom together ♫
I've looked everywhere.
Coco.
Have you found my sketches?
So sorry. Oh my god. You are useless.
Hi. May I see Steven?
Yes. These documents are her.
Coco. I think it's you.
Oh my god.
Where did you find this?
I picked it up on the ground.
Yes. Thank you.
Where are you from? Japanese?
I'm Chinese.
Chinese?
Chinese person? I am too.
Really?
Sorry.
You are also Chinese?
Didn't think that Steven's company has a Chinese person.
What's your name?
Sheng Xia. Hello.
Sheng Xia.
You are the Chinese person that copied Steven's work.
That's a misunderstanding.
Where did you find these?
I found it on the Steven's show floor.
No way.
Because I looked in every single corner
three times. I even turned out the garbage cans.
How could you find on the show?
Sorry.
I picked them up from the floor and I didn't give them back to you.
I'm sorry.
What kind of behavior is that?
This is also stealing. What?
Stealing more more time and now stealing again.
Hey, Steven wants you to deliver this to her office.
Since we're both from China,
I hope you you'll disappear right now and don't let me see you again.
Are dreams destined to only be something you can look up at?
When an opportunity comes close, it just slips by.
I think that if I was well-prepared, I could make my dream become reality.
I've been too naive. It's simple to think up a dream.
Zhengzheng, how'd you get so rich? Treating us to shish kabobs today.
You shouldn't spend whatever money you have left.
Money isn't important.
The important thing is what I'm going to tell you guys next.
Listen up.
Starting today, the mark of Tan Zhengzheng's
unique style of design
is about to be born.
What are you on about? What Tan Zhengzheng mark?
Last time, at that interview with Linda from that fashion magazine,
She asked me: Who am I? Where am I going? What kind of design do I want to do?
Look out. Now I know what kind of designs I want to create.
What?
You guys think about it. Ever since I was young, I've often been around it but paid it no attention.
Stupid.
Push off.
What?
Beijing opera.
Ever since I was little, my dad has been humming in my ear...
Muttering, humming. Isn't that Beijing opera?
I really am stupid. I've just now realized.
Don't keep us in suspense. Hurry up and tell us your real plan.
You...really have no innate intelligence.
Stage costumes. I want to make costumes.
What western dress [Chinese word 'xi' can mean 'drama play' or 'west']
It's not western dress.
To be precise. I want to take
the basic elements from traditional
Beijing opera costumes and integrate them into my designs.
The embroidery, adornments,
traditions, Chinese culture.
I want others to be able to tell it's Tan Zhengzheng's design at a glance.
Let them think of China, of China's traditions,
Chinese culture.
Just let that go.
You could say Chinese style is everywhere right now.
Chinese animation, Chinese music.
Even architecture has a Chinese style.
How many things have unique and distinctive Chinese styles?
Everyone blindly follows that trend.
Are you stupid? You don't understand.
Let me tell you. My designs will definitely bring out the essence of the Chinese culture
and be in full on display.
You guys relax.
I dare to say that these designs
will stun the fashion world.
So, in order to celebrate this young lady,
who's seen the light today,
I invite you to drink some beer with me. You don't need to save my money. Whatever it takes.
I heard that every time she comes up with a new design idea she spends a lot of money.
Now she's in the advanced stage; she has to spend a great amount of money.
I'm stuffed.
Uncle.
What are you doing?
This is lavender oil.
I've used it before. It's very helpful for going to sleep.
There are these audio books too. I want to help Kaven with these recordings.
There was one time before where Kaven didn't drink and fell asleep by just listening to me tell a story.
These should be useful for him.
I just remembered, when Kaven was little, his mother used to tell him stories.
Uncle. I need to ask you something. How did auntie die?
Your concern is rare. It's nothing. Why don't you stay a few more days.
I just realized I had some calls. It was Sheng Xia that called.
Really?
A few days ago, a little after ten in the evening. Why didn't I pick up?
After ten in the evening...so late...
calling...
Do you think something happened to her?
It should be fine.
If there was something wrong, she would have called back.
I'll go call her.
[Dear Sir or Madam,]
Hello, Kevin? Sheng Xia, are you okay?
I'm very good.
A couple days ago, you called me. Were you looking for me?
No, it's fine. I was looking for Xiaoduo. I called her but she didn't answer.
I heard that you went to work at Arthur's. Why didn't you tell me?
I'm not working there anymore.
Are you scared that I would worry?
You are good.
Actually, you know that my heart always had you. I miss you.
If something happens, I hope that you can tell me. I will always be here.
Kevin, we already broke up. Let's not talk about this.
I have work, we can talk another day.
Bye bye.
Xiaoduo, let me ask you. Is Sheng Xia with someone else now?
Sheng Xia.
Come in.
Sheng Xia, help me make a design.
Okay.
Do the measurements.
I have your measurements.
I might've gained weight recently. Measure me again.
Okay.
Do you like Xu Tian?
I can see it.
The way that you look at him these couple days are totally different.
If you like him, it's fine.
So what? Why is it hard to admit? Anyway, it doesn't matter to me.
I just want to tell you.
I won't recognize lose.
I will definitely take back Xu Tian.
How's it going? Did you take that design folder back to Steven? What did they say?
Don't bring that up? I didn't even see Steven.
It doesn't matter. Don't lose heart. I have an idea.
What can you do?
Trust me.
Oh my.
Do you know what the penalty is for drunk driving?
What?
Irrefutable evidence.
How did you get that?
What is this?
Do you want to make a deal? Or do you want me to call the cops?
I don't want you to call the cops.
Sure man. Let's make a deal.
You can find me there. Okay?
Okay.
Alright. Bye.
Just look at yourself. Better for a few days and then back to this shape.
- What so great about that Sheng Xia? - She doesn't want me anymore. - That's not news.
Uncle, don't talk about her when he's like this.
Kevin.
Uncle.
Hurry and send him to the hospital.
When you're in love, how much you give and how much you take is never balanced.
Because love is something with two people
Just because one person works hard at it, it doesn't mean they'll necessarily end up happy.
Some people understand this and decide to let go.
Others will continue working hard,
choose to use their own methods to find a way to turn things around.
Young lady, this washing machine
You can clean your clothes,
But can't wash your heart.
Uncle Yun, for so many years, you've had only my Third Aunt in your eyes?
Why did he let go?
The melon you cracked open wasn't sweet, silly girl. Is that right?
You're just passive. If everyone was as passive as you,
we'd all still be gorillas now.
I only believe that young people should fight for what you want.
Okay.
Is Xu Tian with her?
I was working and you forced me to come.
Is your work important or my situation?
Of course your situation.
10 minutes. Hurry.
Okay. Then hurry up and tell me. Tell the important points.
Being together.
Being together? Should be.
However, that isn't certain. There are a lot of variables.
So.
What do you mean? Are they together?
Cell phone.
Hello? Jia Xiaoduo.
What time is this? Still drinking.
Does he want his life?
Okay.
Who is it? Who drank?
You don't know.
Tell me everything.
Say.
It's Kaven. He's a long-time heavy drinker. Now he's coughing up blood.
