Thank you for your hard work.

We're done for the year.

Thank you, everyone.

I'm taking a break from now on. Please don't send any email to me.

Wishing you a happy new year.

Boss, but...

You may leave now.

Stop following me around.

Our boss is a workaholic.

For the past three years, I've never seen him taking a break.

It's so sudden.

I guess he's entering the next phase of life.

(Tongcheng Music Broadcast)

Thank you for the hard work.

What's wrong, Chen Chen?

Are you okay?

(Wu Yan)

How far are we from the radio station?

We are three intersections away.

Hurry up.

Sure.

(Broadcast Room)

What's wrong?

My colleague wasn't feeling well all of a sudden.

I had to send her out in a rush.

Let go of me, the song is going to end soon.

Close the door.

(Tongcheng Music Broadcast)

Welcome back to "The Lone Island Playlist".

Chinese New Year is just around the corner.

It means the spring is not far away.

Today, I'm going to recommend a song...

which I have been avoiding for a long time.

In the past, I played the song once in a while.

I refused to listen to the song...

because to me, the song is too sweet.

It makes me feel as if Yi Jin, who wrote the song,

is a complete stranger.

Now, the show of the day has come to an end.

Wishing everyone a happy new year.

I hope everyone can find your respective spring.

♪I feel like I can hear your breathing♪

Xiao Lu told me that...

people just listen to music and chat in the radio station.

I wonder what broadcasters do when the songs are being played.

♪A gloomy tranquillity♪

You can tell her when the songs are being played,

the broadcaster is dancing with you.

If I wear a suit,

would it be too formal?

Aren't you quite bold?

Why do you behave like a rat before a cat...

when you meet my mum?

As the saying goes, "While the priest climbs a post, the devil climbs ten".

How dare you call my mum a devil?

To be frank, your mum is quite adorable especially when she nags.

She reminded me of someone.

Who is it?

My mum.

When I was young, she always nagged at me,

especially during piano practice.

I was annoyed back then.

Now, when I think back,

each trifle is extremely precious.

Don't worry.

I'll nag at you every day...

so that you can relive the moments all the time.

Wu Yan.

Marry me.

No.

How dare you refuse?

Who on earth proposes like this?

You're so pushy and demanding.

(Mum: 5 catty of pork, 3 catty of ribs, 3 catty of cured meat, 1 chicken...)

(Mum)

Mum, will you stop struggling?

Wait for Nian Qin.

He really can cook.

Since when I can cook?

All right, got it.

Mrs Sang.

Mrs Sang, take a look.

Mum, are you looking for a son-in-law or a slave?

Stop making noise.

Well...

Can we finish all of them?

Why not?

Tonight,

your second aunt, second uncle-in-law, third aunt, third uncle-in-law cousins,

Tian Tian and Nuo Nuo are coming.

We only bought this many vegetables.

I worry that it's not enough.

Look at me.

Get me a bottle of soy sauce.

I forgot to tell you just now.

Go get me a bottle of soy sauce now.

Sure.

Let's go.

Why are you dragging him along?

I was wondering.

There are so many things but Su carried everything on his own.

The wet market is crowded.

His shoes will be covered in mud too.

You should go alone.

Go now.

But he's so eager to help.

Am I right, Su?

Fine.

I'll go there by myself.

Just keep a close watch on the fire.

Got it.

Mrs Sang.

Have a safe trip.

Let her go.

Even if you haven't seen a pig before,

it's impossible that you haven't tasted pork before, right?

What is the relation?

Think about it.

In those movies that we watched,

those proposals were so romantic that...

all the audiences were moved to tears, right?

For instance, the movie that we watched yesterday.

Have you forgotten?

For the girlfriend, the male lead...

learned how to make her favourite Tiramisu.

He spent one month mastering the skills.

Then, on her birthday,

he made Tiramisu and hid the diamond ring in it.

When the girlfriend was indulging in it, something hit her teeth.

She took it out and realised,

it's a diamond ring.

Then, the male lead said,

"Marry me".

It sounds quite boring.

She might choke herself.

Can't you be a tad more romantic?

Goodness.

That's me.

There's no other way.

Then I'm not going to marry you.

-What's wrong? -Dream on.

♪All the possibilities♪

♪Make me believe♪

♪You're the only one♪

♪Yes I believe♪

♪All the promises that you gave♪

♪No matter how long the journey is♪

♪We'll be together♪

You're forcing me to marry you.

That won't do. Do it again.

Do it again?

Then I'll do it again.

Why is this diamond so tiny?

It wouldn't be comfortable if it's too big.

Won't your finger feel tired if it's too heavy?

No, it won't.

Why is it pink in colour?

I think this colour looks good on you.

♪I want to see♪

However, those diamonds that I saw before were all transparent.

They're almost colourless.

♪Make me believe♪

I don't know.

They said it's known as coloured diamond.

Could it be a scam?

You might have gotten a fake diamond.

All right.

Why didn't you switch on the lights?

Look at you.

I told you to watch the soup.

I forgot it.

This is...

Mum.

I've agreed to marry Nian Qin.

That's great.

That's really great.

Tomorrow is the first day of Chinese New Year.

We'll pay your dad a visit together.

Here, here come the dishes.

Let's eat up.

Eat up.

Let's dig in.

Here, let's eat.

It's cured meat made by my mum.

It's delicious.

Let me get some rice for you.

Su, I made these fish balls.

Try it.

Thank you.

Su, have some fish.

It's a local specialty.

You can't find it anywhere else.

-Thank you. -Here.

Su, let's cheers.

Enough, stop bullying my husband.

When did that happen?

That's right.

You didn't even inform us.

Su, when do you plan to get married?

Nian Qin, can we play together?

I want to play with Nian Qin too.

Sure.

Nian Qin, why didn't you celebrate New Year at home?

Wu Yan invited me over.

That's why I'm here.

Nian Qin,

Grandaunt says that you couldn't see before.

Is that true?

I wasn't completely blind.

Nuo Nuo, when you're moving in front of me,

I could sense your movements before this.

However, I couldn't tell colours apart back then.

I relied on the descriptions by others to relate colours and objects.

Therefore, when I gained back my eyesight,

many colours appeared before me at once.

I spent quite a long time getting used to it.

So, you didn't know which things are which colours?

I could relate something to its colour.

For example, the sea is blue in colour.

So is the sky.

So is my favourite shirt.

What about white?

It's the colour of clouds and your teeth.

What about pink?

It's the colour of Wu Yan's lips.

That's my favourite colour.

You...

Don't talk nonsense in front of the children.

All right, go have fun outside.

Go.

Wu Yan.

Check out the management office.

I think I've forgotten to pay for the management fees.

I paid.

It's paid.

Furthermore, it's Chinese New Year. Apparently everyone is on leave.

Just do what I said.

All right.

Su.

About the things I said to you before,

I've always wanted you to know...

that I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Mrs Sang, I got it.

Some subject matters...

should be brought up to your attention by her dad.

Too bad he's no longer here.

(Grave of beloved father, Sang Jin De and mother, Cheng Jia Ying)

Mrs Sang.

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault.

Everything happens for a reason.

No one should be blamed.

You should stop blaming yourself.

Before his demise, Wu Yan's dad spoiled Wu Yan.

Back then, I always blamed him for spoiling her.

Before he passed away, he reminded me about something.

Then, I realized,

before that, Wu Yan...

was something I showed off to everyone.

She's known as "other people's child".

It's very tiring to be her.

I always stopped her from pursuing her own dream.

When I think back,

I'm really grateful that she didn't listen to me...

and she didn't exploit herself.

Su, bear it in mind.

Wu Yan was raised with love by her dad and me.

You must treat her well.

You have to respect her and support her dream.

Su.

I'm entrusting...

Wu Yan to you.

(Grave of beloved father, Sang Jin De and mother, Cheng Jia Ying)

Mr Sang.

Mrs Sang.

Don't worry.

You...

What are you talking about?

Mum, are you putting the fear of god into my husband?

You haven't even married him but you already take on his side.

I'm not.

Mum, let's go to karaoke later, the one dad usually went.

I've booked a room.

Sure.

Su, do you want to come?

Of course he's coming along.

You have no idea how beautiful his voice is.

He's a jukebox in human form. Just name any song.

My son-in-law is really something.

Of course, he's really good at singing.

♪Dreams of a light year♪

♪Is as vast as the sadness♪

♪The earth is quiet♪

♪Like the eyes of the stars♪

♪I want to see clearly♪

♪Every expression on your face♪

♪This way it won't shatter the heart♪

Awesome!

I think it's not good enough.

This is my dad's go to song.

Sing it!

♪The warm sunlight idly crawls into the window♪

♪A faint and tipsy scent of coffee aroma♪

♪Suddenly you're by my side again♪

♪Smiling as bright as the stars♪

♪Turning to the next page of the storybook♪

♪You smiled without replying♪

♪Telling me not to be silly♪

♪Oh clear skies outside the window♪

♪I want to hug you from the back and never let go of you♪

♪Why do beautiful things always make people sad?♪

♪I'm afraid of you leaving♪

You must have gotten drunk last night.

I listened to Mrs Sang's and Wu Yan's singing for the whole night.

Their singing was definitely more powerful than alcohol.

My mum made dumplings. The filling is sea cucumber.

She told me to send some dumplings here.

Why don't you have some dumplings?

It's okay.

Are you alone? Where is everyone?

Mrs Sang is paying New Year's call.

Wu Yan went to see Cheng Yin.

I wanted to tag along but she refused to let me go.

Cheng Yin?

Are you kidding?

Cheng Yin passed away three years ago.

What did you say?

You didn't know that?

Three years ago, Wu Yan and Cheng Yin were trapped in the lift...

at our apartment.

Xu Qian and I received a phone call from the hospital...

and we only learned about it when we reached there.

Cheng Yin has claustrophobia.

She was trapped in the lift for a long time.

Moreover, none of us knew that she had severe heart disease.

What does that mean?

I guess Wu Yan made up all this in her mind...

in order to resolve her nervousness...

or loneliness or depression.

Whenever she feels lost, she would make up a person...

with Cheng Yin's personality and mannerisms...

to converse with herself.

I think it's a positive way of self-adjustment.

The best way is not reminding her to seek help from a psychologist...

but pretending not to know and care for her.

Reduce her alone time.

Try not to let her negative emotions affect her.

I think we should do the same to Wu Yan.

Keep an eye on her...

lest there be any emergencies.

I got it now.

Thank you.

Nian Qin.

Are you waiting for me?

You went to see Cheng Yin?

Didn't I tell you?

Cheng Yin said it's such a valuable ring.

If we get a divorce one day, I must not give it back to you.

Boss, I've looked into the address.

I went there.

The landlord said that...

the person who entered into the rental agreement is Ms Sang.

He is unsure of other details.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Wu Yan.

Stop going to university.

After the new year break, will you come to Xiamen to keep me company?

I didn't know that you're a conservative.

How is that conservative?

It's no different than stopping women from going out...

and getting educated.

Are you jealous of me because I'm more cultured?

What?

I found out that...

you didn't even graduate from elementary school.

Ms Xiao Lu has betrayed your secret a long time ago.

Didn't you say that you don't have any classes anymore?

You only have the thesis left.

You can work on your thesis in Xiamen.

Su Nian Qin, what's wrong with you?

You're getting more and more clingy.

You were not like this before.

I worry that someone else might steal you away.

Who?

Who can be more charismatic than you?

Cheng Yin.

That jealousy of yours is too much.

So, will you come with me?

Give me some time.

I need to move my dad's office...

and hand over my projects to someone else.

I have to get many things done.

(Tongcheng University Autism Research Centre)

Okay.

Okay, got it.

Sure.

Mum.

Wei Hao has parked the car.

The boxes are already inside the car.

It's almost time.

Let's go.

We're leaving.

We're leaving.

Wu Yan.

Give me the key.

I'll lock the door.

(Yu Xiao Lu)

Hello, Ms Xiao Lu. Anything?

Wu Yan, can you do me a favour?

Please come to Xiamen and take Nian Qin to the hospital.

What's wrong?

It's for an eye check-up.

Something is not quite right with his eyes.

Dr Li who has been treating his eyes is finally back from the USA.

However, no matter how hard I try to advise him, he won't listen.

Sure, I'll give him a call.

No,

you must come here and make him go to the hospital.

I have to make him go to the hospital?

If I could do that, I wouldn't be Sang Wu Yan.

In this world,

if there is anyone who could force him to do anything,

it would be you, Sang Wu Yan.

My useless nephew is as cute as I am, right?

Otherwise,

you wouldn't have agreed to be my niece-in-law.

Nian Qin, I'm back.

What's wrong with your eyes?

Let me see. Don't touch it.

It's okay.

It's spring, the air is full of fluffy catkins.

Lately, I always...

Let me see.

Do you feel better?

I think we should go to the hospital.

Ms Xiao Lu told me...

It's okay.

Well...

Are you hungry?

Let's go out for dinner.

No, you shouldn't go out.

Be good.

Why do you refuse to go to the hospital?

I know my own condition.

Why should I go through those examinations like a fool?

They're useless.

What if your eyesight goes back to the old condition?

Back then, I could see when you're trying to steal a kiss.

Stop flattering yourself.

I'm sorry. Please let me through.

Here.

Watch your steps.

-Here's the sidewalk. -Thank you.

-No problem. -Goodbye.

Slow down.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I suddenly recalled the time you're walking alone...

with a blind man's stick.

Wu Yan.

Even if my eyesight goes back to square one,

I don't mind.

But I mind.

Are you worried that I might go blind and become your burden?

How could you think like that?

What should I think?

I just don't wish to see you struggling in darkness with very limited light.

I just want to see how beautiful the world is.

You have no idea how beautiful your eyes are.

It would be a shame if they're merely decorations.

Sang Wu Yan.

You're still judging a book by its cover.

-What is so bad about it? -Of course it's bad.

I fell in love with your appearance first.

Could that be a wrong judgment?

That's the only correct decision you've made.

After all, it's really difficult to find someone as flawless as me.

My goodness.

Since when did you become so slick?

I learn from my wife.

If I lose my eyesight,

will your promise still count?

Cheng Yin once said,

Love is eternal blindness.

I'm not sure if you've fallen in love because you couldn't see back then...

but the moment I saw you,

I've lost my mind.

It's still the same until now.

I've decided it'll be the same forever.

Let's go for a check-up tomorrow.

Can I say no?

No way.

Do you want me to run away from home?

I don't want to go.

(Outpatient Building)

Have you reminded the doctor?

Su Nian Qin, now, you're in a tight spot.

You...

Isn't the doctor here yet?

He's here.

He's getting changed after a surgery.

-Hello, Dr Li. Long time no see. -Hello.

Last year, I was abroad.

I was unable to attend your wedding.

So sorry for that.

It's okay.

As for Nian Qin,

what's wrong with him?

How could you let him take alcohol?

The pain is mainly caused by excessive drinking in the past.

Also, he must not overwork.

It's best if someone can take care of him.

As for the rest, we'll discuss further after the examination. You may leave now.

I'm going to conduct an examination on him.

Sure. Thank you for the help.

Don't mention it.

I didn't pay enough attention to his health.

In short, it's because of my bad temper.

Don't say that, Wu Yan. You've done your best.

Take it slowly.

When two people live together,

they have to go through an adjustment period.

Furthermore, everyone knows that he's bad tempered.

Not many people can put up with it.

But...

But Qin and you get along so well with him.

He's Qin's boss, his livelihood.

I'm his aunt.

As his elder,

I can't lower myself to his level, can I?

What's wrong?

I'm going to say thank you to Dr Li.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

I'm thinking I can stay in Xiamen.

I have all the raw data from the field research.

As for the thesis,

I can finish it in Xiamen.

You want to take care of me?

I'm more than happy to accept it.

If it weren't for the doctor, I wouldn't be bothered.

I really have to thank my faulty eyes.

If I become blind, perhaps the treatment...

Don't talk nonsense.

Let's stay at our old house.

Why?

It's quite comfortable.

I like the living room.

However, it's on one condition.

No matter what it is, I'll agree to it.

Just don't ask me to catch a star for you.

I won't be so unreasonable.

Furthermore, if I really want a star,

you'll have to figure it out.

I watched a movie before.

The male lead promised to give his lover a star.

In the end, he bought a piece of meteorite...

to fulfill his promise.

Wu Yan.

How about watching movies of other genres?

Why?

Nian Qin.

When do you plan to bring Wu Yan home?

My sister and your dad want to see her.

We'll talk about it.

Nian Qin.

Check out if the arrangement is right.

Let's put it this way.

It's not here.

Something is not right.

Everything is not right.

What is not right?

Why don't you do it on your own?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

(Kettle)

Step forward for five steps.

Put it down.

Turn right.

Move forward.

Five steps. Two, three, four, five. Okay.

Stop.

Turn right.

Okay, bend down.

Okay.

Turn right.
