=Episode 11=

You know very well that...

certain things and people...

annoy me the most.

Yet you blatantly leave them right in front me.

To you, I'm blind?

Is that why you're picking on me?

Su Nian Qin.

Must you be so bitter?

You're acting like a hedgehog all day.

Resenting everything, everyone and yourself.

You're happy being like that?

I'm wrong for lying to you.

But this is uncalled for.

Everyone in the family has been apologetic to you.

But what about you?

You've been acting so heartless.

Never once did you return home to visit.

What do you want me to do? What else can I do?

Leave it.

It's alright.

I'm still here, right?

I need some time alone.

There hasn't been news about Yi Jin for some time now.

Have you heard anything from the news department?

Nope.

Wu Yan.

Why are you so quiet today?

Aren't you a fan of Yi Jin?

I'm listening to your conversation.

Hello.

Have you eaten?

I'm eating now while having a chat.

Chatting?

I'm chatting with my colleagues about Yi Jin.

They said Yi Jin is otherworldly.

You're having meat?

How did you know?

It sounds like you're really enjoying the meal.

What kind of meat?

I'm having...

What is it?

It's nothing.

I've got work.

Got to go. Bye.

Wu Yan.

You're burning up.

Is it an allergy to beef?

Let's go to the hospital.

(Outpatient)

Her allergy is due to the lack of...

a specific protein-digesting enzyme for beef.

I'll give her a box of astemizole.

After taking it, the rash will go away.

Be sure to be more careful next time.

Alright. Thanks, doctor.

You're welcome.

You had beef for lunch, right?

You know you're allergic to beef and yet...

I just had it by mistake.

You're even careless about what you eat.

Bring your own lunch to work after this.

That's such a hassle.

I'll pick you up at lunchtime so you can eat at home then.

That won't be necessary.

He's a tyrant.

He's always uncompromising.

Aren't you still buying him new clothes after all?

I dirtied his clothes back then.

I feel guilty over it.

Is that really why?

You just want him to wear the clothes that you picked out for him.

Am I right?

This seems to be the brand of clothes he wore the other day.

Come on.

This one.

This is it.

Let's just go.

Forget about it.

His family isn't the kind that's short of money.

You don't have to burn a hole in your pocket for him.

They do seem pretty well off.

What is it?

It's nothing.

Ms Xiao Lu.

You're home.

Why are you...

Nian Qin said you'll be bringing lunch from home.

I'm preparing it now.

I shouldn't trouble you over this.

It's fine. I enjoy cooking anyway.

Weren't you two quarrelling the other day?

Why are you...

We're always like that.

Things just got way more heated up than usual that day.

Did that frighten you? I'm really sorry.

No, no, no. Let me help you.

-You don't have to. -It's fine, it's fine.

Oops.

I poured too much soy sauce in it.

Don't worry.

I'll fix it up in a jiffy.

May I ask you a question, Ms Xiao Lu?

Nian Qin's clothing are bought by you, right?

They seem pretty expensive.

He earns that much just by writing songs?

The money isn't a lot.

But it's enough for him to spend.

Then again,

he still has a home after all.

So don't worry about money.

Home?

He has a home?

The one in those pictures?

Yes. Otherwise, we...

He didn't mention it to you before?

He must have his own reasons then.

You can ask him once he's back.

It's not my place to talk about it.

Would you mind me asking questions about you then?

That depends on what questions you're asking.

Nian Qin said you're a sister of his relative's.

That makes you two related?

I guess so.

But then he said that he grew up in a welfare home.

If he has a family,

why is he sent to the welfare home?

It's quite complicated to explain everything.

Can you try asking something simpler?

He said his mum passed away.

Is his father still alive?

Of course.

But Wu Yan...

I only agreed to answering questions about myself.

That's against the rules.

Fine, I'll give you that one for free.

So,

what's the actual nature of your relationship with him?

Like his aunt, I guess.

An aunt without blood ties.

My sister is his stepmother.

Incoming call from Yu Wei Lan.

Incoming call from Yu Wei Lan.

Incoming call from Yu Wei Lan.

Incoming call from Yu...

Happy birthday, Nian Qin.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

My nails are too long. I can't play the piano well.

Let me help you trim them.

Done.

Nian Qin, what did you play just now?

It was very nice.

Could you play it again for me?

I just made it up.

Choose something else.

I want to listen to "Moonlight."

I did my homework.

Sister.

It's alright now.

The condition has stabilized.

You don't have to wait here.

Get Nian Qin over instead.

Sister, stop forcing me.

I really can't do it.

What if...

What if you go get him?

Why would he ever want to see me?

Fine.

I'll go one more time.

But this is really the last time.

Xiao Lu.

Thank you.

(The World Minute of Waterloo)

Su Nian Qin, listen to me.

Your father has very serious liver cancer and needs a liver transplant.

Last night, he was admitted into the intensive care unit.

No matter what, just pay him a visit.

It may even be your last chance.

Don't allow yourself to regret in the future.

Su Nian Qin, you...

Regret?

I'm the one most familiar with regret.

What else is more regretful than me coming into this world?

Let them know that I won't attend the funeral.

Hello, Wu Yan.

Sorry for interrupting.

Do you have time to meet me now?

I'm in no position to say anything about your family affairs.

But I think that while we may appear to be...

accommodating Nian Qin all this while,

have we really put ourselves in his shoes?

We've always been trying to make up to him, haven't we?

That's exactly why he despises it.

Isn't it?

Just like he said,

everyone tries to act caring and loving to one another...

in hopes of erasing the wounds that he has already suffered.

But for him,

it's just whitewashing.

Ms Xiao Lu.

Has anyone really tried listening to him?

Back then when we got separated in the subway,

I was anxiously trying to find him.

But he instead remained very calm.

He told me that...

no matter where I lost him,

as long as I return to where we separated, I'd be able to find him.

He's really a kid who's extremely stubborn and good at patiently waiting.

I think Nian Qin is really just...

a little boy who was abandoned since the day his mother passed away.

He got abandoned from that very day and has never walked out of it since then.

He was the one who abandoned himself.

Since everyone has been...

trying hard to create this facade of happiness...

Since everyone has been fervently moving forward...

while denying the reality of his loss,

thus he could only lose himself.

Although I can see where you're coming from,

I'd still stand by Nian Qin no matter what.

I only wish to see the person I love happy.

If he's really unwilling to,

why not just go on separate ways?

It's because he has a responsibility.

The illustrious enterprise of the Su family of Lion Mountain...

cannot fall into the hands of others.

The Su family of Lion Mountain?

Family enterprise?

It's nothing, really.

They just happen to be your typical wealthy and influential household.

They own the expensive RD Cosmetics and I think they manufacture oil rigs too.

Oil... Oil rigs.

I guess it's some equipment for oil drilling.

They even export and sell them overseas.

My goodness.

Oh, my goodness.

I thought I already knew him well.

I thought...

I thought he's just an orphan who grew up in a welfare home...

who happens to also be very talented.

He's quite a jerk himself but that's because...

he's been hardened by his ill fate.

But now he has a father and a stepmother out of nowhere?

Along with his wealthy family background?

It's all so complicated.

Calm down now.

The important question at hand is,

why did Su Nian Qin hide all of this from you?

Having a wealthy family is supposedly a good thing.

Why won't he tell you about it?

Could it be that I look like someone...

who'd marry a wealthy husband just to plot for his death...

and inherit his wealth?

That can't be it.

I look like a decent and cultured person.

You...

At the beginning,

I even saw him as a poor lonely orphan...

and was worried for his source of income.

I've never had my eyes on his money.

From the very beginning, I fell for him because...

His nice pair of glass-like eyes.

That's not true.

Get lost.

It's so frustrating.

He took me as a material girl all this while.

No smooth sailing for Mr Su's love life.

Sang Wu Yan.

(Sang Wu Yan)

Wu Yan, where are you?

Why aren't you home yet?

I came over to visit Cheng Yin.

I'll be staying over here tonight.

Okay then, bye.

I don't need it.

Wu Yan, he doesn't have to come from a prestigious family.

If his family is influential and wealthy,

they'll be out of our league.

Mum, Yan Yan here.

Mum, I just want to check if you two went out for a walk.

No.

I'm alone at home.

I'm just about to go out.

What about dad? He's still at school?

Your dad...

His school is conducting a teaching assessment.

He... He's busy.

Mum.

What's the matter?

I just want to let you know that you don't have to send me money anymore.

The internship pay is enough for my expenses.

With that little amount of pay?

Girls should be independent.

Spending your own money helps to keep your head up.

Your life expenses will be supported till you graduate.

As for the rest,

we'll talk about it after you graduate.

Make sure you do well for your thesis writing.

When you get your certificate during the graduation ceremony,

take more photos.

Your father wants to see them.

I got it, Mum.

You two rest early then.

I'll hang up.

As for these materials, I think we can squeeze them...

into two episodes.

What do you guys think?

Or if there's a better idea,

feel free to speak of it.

(Nian Qin)

It's fine. Go ahead and answer the call.

It's okay. Let's discuss first.

It's me.

Relax. I'm not here to ask you to go home.

Where's Wu Yan? She hasn't gotten off from work?

I don't know.

She hasn't been answering my calls for the whole day.

Nian Qin, I...

I think it's my fault.

It's like this.

She started asking stuff about our family.

I also asked for her help to persuade you to go home.

In the midst of all that,

she got to learn quite a lot about your background.

(Picked Up a Fragment of a Star)

The reason she likes this song so much...

is possibly that she's similar to that lady...

who's been imprisoned in the cage.

The disabled kid...

was the beginning of her suffering.

Su Nian Qin.

I've picked up some fragments of the stars.

From this second onwards, your time is renewed.

♪Turning to the next page of the storybook♪

♪You said the wind will dry the tears shed by the clouds♪

♪I asked you how to console the sighing wind then♪

♪You smiled without replying♪

♪Telling me not to be silly ♪

♪Oh clear skies outside the window♪

Su Nian Qin.

Why didn't you switch on the lights?

Where did you go?

I went to work.

Why did you ask Ms Xiao Lu about my background?

I have my reasons for hiding it from you.

If you really wanted to know, why didn't you ask me directly?

Wu Yan.

I'm sorry. I'm being too selfish.

Next time, don't be home so late.

I'll take you to see my family tomorrow.

I don't want to.

Then why did you lie to me?

Why didn't you tell me the truth of your family background?

Does it matter that much?

The point here is that you hid it from me.

I've asked you about your life after you turned six.

Which is why I'm bringing you to see them tomorrow.

Su Nian Qin.

You can't always be so tyrannical.

Always demanding this and that.

You asked about it from someone else.

But now you refuse to see them and I'm still the one being tyrannical?

Wu Yan.

The point here is that you hid it from me.

I've asked you before about your life after you turned six.

You can't always be so tyrannical.

Always demanding this and that.

To be honest,

it isn't a big deal even if she knew.

Why not tell her the truth yourself?

Tell her about what?

That because of my disability, my biological father abandoned me?

That after my mum died,

he remarried three times and now his current wife...

was once a friend of mine?

This is such a nuisance in the middle of the night.

Exactly. It's been going on for more than an hour.

-How can we possibly sleep? -Everyone, settle down.

I've notified the relative of the owner.

She'll be arriving any minute now.

I'm so sorry for the disturbance.

My apologies for disrupting everyone.

I'll head in now to tell him...

I'm really sorry.

It's fine. Just go inside and see what's going on.

Everyone, you may disperse now. Please return home now.

Actually,

I'm quite impressed by Wu Yan.

You, me and my sister...

have known each other for over ten years.

You've always been cold and arrogant to everyone.

I thought this was your nature,

and that's how you'll be forever.

But it wasn't until I saw you with Wu Yan,

that I realise that wasn't the case.

You know how to be happy,

feel sadness or get mad.

It's as if her slightest facial expression could upturn all your emotions.

The fact that she caused you to blow up is actually making me feel...

quite happy.

I'm tired.

You're not going to look for her?

No.

Xiao Lu, please start the car and take me out.

What... What is it?

I must find her.

Nian Qin, are you sure she'll walk such a long distance...

to Cheng Yin's place by foot?

She probably took a taxi.

She won't.

She's simple-minded.

Nian Qin, don't worry.

Public security in this area is quite good.

She'll probably be fine.

It's my fault for not taking good care of her.

Stop thinking like that.

You said before that...

it's not compulsory for one to be taken care of in this world.

Wu Yan is different.

Let's go home.

That idiotic, nasty jerk.

You could've asked me why I refuse to go.

I remember you told me this before.

Lovers shouldn't hold back if they choose to love.

If not, they'll get hurt.

He hurt me first.

What did he do to you?

I haven't spoken a word but he started interrogating me instead.

And his tone was so bad.

Why must he say it like that?

Would it kill him to actually say it nicely?

As far I know,

he's always been that way.

It never bothered you before.

I...

Before this,

you saw the situation from the perspective of the superior.

Subconsciously, you felt that in comparison to this disabled orphan,

you'd always have the upper hand.

That's why you weren't bothered by it.

Simply put, it's the superior feeling of being generous because you can.

However, with Su Nian Qin turning out to be a wealthy family's son,

you feel inferior now.

It's making you become more sensitive.

This is what you'd always say.

I...

So that's really it?

Of course.

Alright.

What good does it do for a married couple to quarrel?

Just talk it out nicely.

Maybe he'll call you soon.

Who said anything about being a married couple?

I left my handbag and phone at his place.

No one would pick up even if he called.

Good, now you can have some peace and quiet.

Serves that nasty jerk right for throwing his temper...

at our dear Lady Sang.

Why don't the both of us pray to our ancestors for him

to have nightmares every night?

We can't do that.

He'll really be worried then.

Why don't you contact him instead?

I don't want to.

I'm still mad at him.

Wu Yan.

Why didn't you answer any of my calls yesterday?

Wu Yan.

I'm... I'm not Wu Yan, Mrs Sang.

Mr Su?

Yes.

Hello, Mrs Sang.

My apologies for disturbing you.

Where's Wu Yan?

She left her phone at my place yesterday.

She's probably at work now.

Mr Su, is it convenient to have a word with you now?

Yes, Mrs Sang.

I reckon Wu Yan has told you about this.

Due to some reasons related to you,

her father and I are against your relationship.

I hope you understand our concerns as parents.

I've spoken to Wu Yan about it.

We ended up quarrelling.

Wu Yan has been spoiled by me.

But she never once spoke to me in that way.

But no matter how,

she's still our daughter.

Since she's adamant on being with you,

we have no other way but to yield to her decision for now.

Her father and I spent most of our lives working so hard...

so that she won't have to suffer in future.

So she can then find a suitable man to have a smooth life together.

But because of you,

she gave up all our arrangements made for her.

I really hope you understand what this means...

and treat her well.

I understand.

You're home, Wu Yan?

Even if you're yearning for her, you ought to eat something too.

I bought beef noodles.

It's from Wu Yan's favourite restaurant.

Eat up first, will you?

-The rest of it... -What time is it now?

It's almost time for her to go out.

Xiao Lu.

Can you please pass Wu Yan's stuff back to her?

Wu Yan.

Nian Qin's being a little stubborn. That's all.

-Please don't... -I have my own temper too.

Ms Xiao Lu, I don't mean to be rude.

But have you guys considered that maybe his awful temperament...

was actually shaped by being too lenient to him?

Yes, we did think about that.

I'm sorry, Ms Xiao Lu.

I... I'm not really in a good mood now.

It's okay.

I'm on your side this time.

Take time to calm down and rest.

But try not to take too long.

If there's anything, just call me.

Thanks, Ms Xiao Lu.

I'll head up now.

Goodbye.

Don't stay apart too long now.

Just tell me when you want to come home. I'll come over to fetch you.

Bye.

(Donghu Music Broadcast)

You're here.

(The Silver Linings Playbook)

Thanks.

My goodness, Wu Wei.

You're reading this kind of novel?

Are you pursuing an artistic girl this time?

What era is this?

A person is undermined for not reading...

and judged for the books one read at the same time?

What a show off.

Wu Yan, your turn.

Wu Wei, may I borrow this for a few days?

What's it for?

(The Silver Linings Playbook)

Nian Qin.

In two weeks,

my internship at the special education school will end.

The school will organize a spring outing.

We'll be visiting Seawall Park.

Come join us.

The kids will miss you too.

Why choose the seaside for a spring outing?

Don't people go there only during summer?

There's no springtime in Manchester's seaside.

It's always snowing.

What?

I'm quoting it from the books.

I learnt that from Mr Yi Jin.

Su Nian Qin. You ought to watch more movies.

If not, how can we have conversations?

It doesn't matter to me.

Blinds can't see anyway.

Am I not here to describe it to you now?

But you're right too.

Just listening without seeing isn't enough to fully comprehend it.

But...

Many movies are based on original novels.

If you want to know the story, reading the original novel will do too.

You may even end up falling in love with reading novels.

Just like the one we watched the last time,

"Silver Linings Playbook."

Didn't you find the story interesting?

That one was interesting.

Let me think of other novels you can read.

You think they published everything in the books for blinds.

So many classical works never got published.

Is that so?

Let me think again.

(Donghu Music Broadcast)

Mother suddenly came to visit again.

I didn't need to lift up my head to know it was her.

Her toenails were always pink in the summer.

I noticed them right away.
