[A Beautiful Lie]

[18 years ago]

[Children's Dreams; Growing with Happiness]

The next performance is

"Jasmine Flower" by Xing Zhizhi

from Class 1, Grade 2.

[Children's Dreams; Growing with Happiness]

Why does he look so stupid?

His hairstyle looks so silly.

Xing Zhizhi,

are you waiting for Qin Xiaofei?

Don't bother.

She left this morning.

Quiet down, students! Quiet!

Students, quiet! Students, quiet!

Students, quiet! Students, quiet!

[Children's Dreams; Growing with Happiness]

Quiet down! Quiet!

Quiet!

Qin Xiaofei!

You big meanie!

Qin Xiaofei!

You big meanie!

Qin Xiaofei!

You big meanie!

[We're just old classmates from over a decade ago who barely keep in touch. Why even bother saying goodbye?]

[Episode 5]

[Dormitory]

[Pay Attention to Hygiene]

How did you know I was here?

Meilan and the others told me.

I thought you'd be hungry when you got back,

so I made you some noodles.

Qin Fei, I...

I know I'm pretty,

but you don't have to keep staring at me like that.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't get a blocker for you.

We won't get one until tomorrow at the earliest.

Let's have the noodles first.

[Pay Attention to Hygiene]

Come on, sit down.

Let's eat.

Don't think too much about it right now.

Does your wound still hurt?

It's been so long.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

Let me see your hand. I won't get infected.

I know.

But my bad luck might rub off on you.

Dr. Xing,

I was just kidding.

Why are you so serious today?

It's kind of scary.

Eat your noodles.

I just made them.

Hello?

Hello? I've booked you

the earliest high-speed train for tomorrow morning.

You

go back and pack your things right now.

Tomorrow, I don't care whether you ride a donkey

or take a car;

you must absolutely make it to the high-speed rail station.

Got it.

Got it?

Wait a minute; something's off.

Why aren't you arguing with me?

Tell me the truth.

Are you...

diagnosed?

Well, Ren Siqi, don't jinx it.

The blood test report isn't even out yet.

What am I diagnosed with?

Alright.

Then, tomorrow,

I'll pick you up at the station.

I'll hang up now.

Okay.

That was my agent.

He wants me to go back tomorrow.

When will my test results be out?

Tomorrow.

The earliest will be tomorrow morning.

Got it.

I hate waiting more than anything.

This time, I'll wait with you.

What do you want to do?

Let's go see the stars.

I could see the stars just a moment ago.

But now there's not a single one.

Forget it; let's go back.

Why not?

It's cloudy now.

There's not even one star.

As long as you want to see stars,

I'll make sure you can see them.

Fei.

Coffee,

you must keep a close eye on Qin Fei.

She...

Sometimes, she

may seem fine on the surface,

but she actually takes things more to heart than others.

Don't let her do anything extreme.

Like some dramatic stuff, okay?

What are you doing?

What?

Fei?

Why are you here, Fei?

-Where are you going? -You…

What are you doing?

I'm going to Fei. What are you doing?

Keep your voice down.

Can't you see Xing Zhizhi over there?

Get a clue, would you?

As long as Fei is okay.

Are you...

really leaving tomorrow?

What are you doing?

There is a smudge on your face. Let me wipe that off for you.

Why do you care if my face is dirty?

You...

What are you doing?

Why are you yelling?

Let's talk downstairs.

Let's go downstairs and talk, okay?

Almost done.

It'll be ready in a moment.

Then, I'm going to start.

Three.

Two.

One.

Wait... wait a second.

Just, just give me another moment.

What's wrong?

Well...

The light bulbs might be worn out

from being there unused for too long.

Give me another moment.

You don't have to comfort me.

I know.

Everything has its time

—people and so do light bulbs.

When their time's up,

it's...

No, don't overthink it.

Well...

Wait for me a moment.

Here.

Come on.

You...

What is it for?

Please sit.

What for?

Sit down.

Trust me, come on.

Be careful.

Lie down.

Lie down.

Then close your eyes.

Trust me; close your eyes.

How long until I can open my eyes?

Just a moment.

You may open your eyes now.

Don't peek at me; look at the stars.

The starry sky is so beautiful.

This is the Morning Star?

You mean this one?

♫Looking at the stars in your eyes♫

This is Orion.

♫I'm a little disappointed♫

I didn't know you were into constellations.

♫The wind of missing is blowing towards me♫

I think it's the Morning Star.

This really is Orion.

To the east of Orion

is Lyra.

♫Suddenly going up, suddenly going down♫

And right beneath Lyra,

the brightest star

♫Suddenly at the end of my sight♫

is the North Star.

Following the North Star,

you can see the Big Dipper.

♫Light is glimmering♫

They say

if you make a wish upon the Big Dipper,

it'll come true.

♫Into my dream, my love♫

Then,

I'll make a wish and give it a try.

♫Stay with me, my love♫

♫For one more time, one more second♫

♫Stay in your eyes♫

♫To the last day of my life♫

It's okay.

Wait for me a moment.

I have a power bank.

It's good I have a power bank.

It'll be ready soon.

It's okay.

I've got another power bank in my dorm.

Let me go grab it.

Don't bother.

I'll be right back.

Xing Zhizhi!

It doesn't matter if I can't see the stars.

Qin Fei.

I know

you really have a very bad day.

But it's okay.

There's always a way out of difficulties, right?

Let's figure it out together.

You know.

Actually, for a moment today,

I almost believed it.

I thought my luck wasn't so bad after all.

I thought maybe the wish I wanted to come true

could actually happen.

However...

it seems that my wishes and reality...

are still going in opposite directions.

No,

it's not been settled yet.

And the reality isn't as bad as you think.

Trust me,

things won't always take

the worst possible turn.

Won't they?

They really won't.

I recommended a lawyer to a friend of mine,

but I got a ton of false accusations in return.

I volunteered here,

but I encountered a landslide.

I went to pick up a package but nearly got blown up.

I saved someone,

but now I don't know if I've

contracted HIV.

I just want to see the stars before leaving,

but there aren't any.

I'm going to get the power bank now.

You'll definitely see the stars today!

Don't do anything anymore!

Xing Zhizhi,

I see everything you've done for me.

But please, stop doing anything for me.

Because I...

am just an extremely unlucky person.

You might think

that I don't care about anything,

but the truth is, I'm terrified.

♫The silence of night, the breath of rain♫

Because I know

things will always turn out badly for me.

♫They became pleasant because of you♫

So really, you don't have to tell me

that everything's okay.

♫I never told you how much I missed you♫

♫When I opened my mouth, I couldn't say anything♫

♫You, jade-hued and radiant bright♫

♫You, ashen-gray with gaze downcast♫

I'm here with you.

No matter what happens,

I'll always be here for you.

♫Amid all the shadows, you're the only one I see♫

♫I never told you♫

♫I've never been so firm♫

♫You're the one♫

♫Longing for you to become the air I breathe♫

♫Thinking of you might give me the courage♫

♫To softly say that I miss you♫

♫You're the one♫

♫I want to hear you softly call my name as I hold you♫

Qin!

♫Feel my heartbeat sync with yours♫

I've got a signal!

I've got a signal!

I got my test results back!

The report says it's negative.

We're both fine.

Wait, wait; don't hug her just yet; hold on.

Hold on; don't rush to hug. Wait a moment.

What are you talking about?

I was dying for this report.

The test results are good.

No, what are you talking about?

It's negative.

What do you mean?

It's negative.

He just said his test result is negative.

Xing Zhizhi, I'm okay now.

Really?

You know what?

You're my lucky charm.

Many things tend to

turn out well in the end when I am with you.

♫Once more, I meet you♫

Thank you.

Chubby.

♫No doubt I've decided to love you♫

What... what did you just call me?

Chubby.

♫Your eyes light up the past♫

I've recognized you.

I remember when we were little...

♫Light up the heart♫

you were my little sidekick, right?

And you seemed to always get picked on, didn't you?

♫So I'm not alone♫

I didn't expect you to grow so tall right now.

♫When I dream of all the seasons♫

You have also...

become quite presentable now.

♫I wanna be with you♫

♫Till the sunlight so deeply falls in line♫

But I'm quite puzzled.

Why didn't you tell me?

How many years has it been?

Eighteen years, six months, and fourteen days.

♫When you're down, while waiting or smiling♫

Why did you transfer schools?

Do you remember what you promised me?

♫I'll be with you♫

You promised to join

♫It's time to go♫

the singing competition with me.

But you didn't show up on the day of the competition.

♫The stars shining for you♫

Why?

[Morgue]

I heard

that the father got into a car accident

while he was out buying dance shoes for his daughter.

Don't talk about that anymore. Let's go.

No way.

You're being too dramatic.

That was just something I said as a kid.

You actually took it seriously?

So, you've been obsessed with me ever since?

Back then, what we had was friendship.

Then you became my fan.

What kind of feelings do you have toward me then?

What if I say I don't want to be your friend

or your fan...

and I really want to pursue you?

Just kidding.

I was just joking with you.

Alright, you can cancel the ticket.

What ticket?

The high-speed rail ticket, Ms. Qin.

You still have five days left

of volunteering.

A new batch of medication has arrived in the warehouse,

and it hasn't been inventoried yet.

You can do the inventory with Coffee tomorrow.

That's a whole warehouse full of medicine!

You can do it.

This is revenge, isn't it?

If I had known,

I wouldn't have told him the results first.

I should've slipped away first.

[Stay Fit]

Place your hands

in front of your knees.

Make sure your shoulders are directly above your wrists.

Press your feet firmly against the ground.

Okay, now slowly raise your left hand,

extending your arm while looking up at the ceiling.

Okay, exhale slowly

as we thread your arm under your chest.

Gently bring your ear and shoulder to the floor in sequence.

Okay, now slowly raise your right hand,

reaching toward the ceiling.

I'm in class right now. Let's talk later.

Push against the floor and return to the tabletop position.

Okay, now slowly sit back with your hips

towards your heels.

Open... your knees,

maintaining a 45-degree angle.

Place your left hand...

behind your left hip.

Lift your hips upward.

[French Blogger Livestreaming from the Disaster Site in Linkang County]

Stretch the front of your abdomen.

Welcome to my live stream.

[Frenchman in China]

During my filming trip to Linkang County,

I encountered

a very serious traffic accident.

If

it weren't for my two Chinese friends

[Stay Fit]

who risked their lives to help me,

I might

have already

died in the explosion

caused by the car accident.

[Frenchman in China]

Before I show you the recorded footage,

I first want to express my heartfelt gratitude

to Branch Captain Liu Yanze

of the Xiaoyun Rescue Team,

as well as the celebrity who went to the local area

to participate in volunteer activities,

Qin Fei.

Let me show you first.

Okay.

[Warehouse]

[Frenchman in China]

Good, slowly extend our arm.

Here.

Hold it here, stretch it out, and inhale.

[Frenchman in China]

Stop filming. Stop filming.

The hospital has policies prohibiting filming. No filming allowed.

You... stop, stop, stop!

[Stay Fit]

[Live Broadcast]

[Qin Fei Doing Volunteer Work with Dedication]

Stay focused during class.

[Stay Fit]

Practice diligently.

Miss, I have something urgent...

[Stay Fit]

Push your hips forward more.

Exhale as leaning back.

Miss.

Alright, you can return to the former position.

Stop filming; stop filming.

Thank you, thank you.

Fei!

Fei.

Come on.

You're trending again.

The person you saved is a famous French blogger.

He posted your photo on social media,

and then netizens

dug up everything about you from that photo.

And then

it's blowing up on social media.

Where's the photo?

Here.

Lucky I had makeup on that day.

The photo turned out pretty well.

Fei,

you're still thinking about whether you were wearing makeup or not?

Mr. Ren's phone is ringing off the hook.

Have it back.

Come on.

Hello?

The foreign blogger personally thanked you during a livestream.

Qin Fei,

you're all over the trending topics online.

The likes...

and shares are through the roof,

you know that?

You've made us proud.

Oh, right, well...

Xiaosha, you...

put work photos that Coffee took

on the homepage right now.

Quick, go.

Now, immediately.

Got it.

Do you have anything else?

I still have quite a lot of work to do.

What work?

Your most important task right now

is to pack up

and head back to the company.

I'm telling you,

the Starlight Charity Gala has already contacted me.

It'll be hosted tomorrow night.

I can't.

I still have to attend the donation ceremony.

No, listen to me.

You must come back.

Let me tell you,

if you

handle this gala well,

you'll definitely move up the ladder.

It's settled then. Hurry up.

Hanging up now.

Fei,

what did he say?

Suddenly having to leave this place,

I feel quite reluctant.

Are you secretly laughing at me?

Xing,

I really don't understand

what exactly you're worried about.

Hasn't she already recognized you?

Then, you can just confess to her.

How am I supposed to say it?

I bet right now she still sees me

as the chubby boy who always followed her around

and nothing more.

So what do you...

What do you expect from her?

To be like you?

Unable to forget about you

like you've never forgotten about her all these years?

You can't expect that from Qin Fei.

I'm not asking for anything.

But I don't want to do something I'm not sure of.

She's...

She's a celebrity now, after all.

This is the first time I've seen you so insecure.

Me, insecure?

Don't make me laugh.

Stop pretending in front of me.

Don't you feel

all anxious and uncertain now,

with Qin Fei seeming close one moment and distant the next?

And you're just not feeling secure.

Deep down, you're thinking,

"Why would such a beautiful, amazing woman

ever be interested in me?"

So, you want to be fully prepared

before confessing to her.

Am I right?

Am I wrong?

I'm not wrong, am I?

You'd better watch your back when you sleep tonight.

Are you threatening me?

Let me tell you,

Xing,

you've fallen for her.

Then what do you think

I should do?

Just confess to her directly.

Tell her

you're not only that chubby kid from the past;

you're also the Superman who saved her in Paris.

Who knows, she'll be moved too.

So I often wonder

if only that man hadn't saved me

and let me die in that explosion.

Anyway,

opportunities

come and go quickly.

On this matter,

I know what I'm talking about.

I can't tell her I was the one who saved her in Paris.

She definitely wouldn't thank me for it.

Alright then.

As long as you've thought it through.

Anyway, you get what I'm trying to say though.

Rather than doing nothing...

and regretting it later,

it's better to take action first.

I'm off.

Thank you for suddenly developing a conscience

and taking me out for some fresh air.

You are leaving?

Then,

will you miss...

miss Linkang?

Of course, I'll miss it.

The scenery here is so beautiful.

Alright, let me show you around a bit more.

Who knows

when you'll be back again.

Come on.

One, two, three.

The photo turned out pretty good.

Looks good.

Of course.

My beauty is widely recognized

in the entertainment industry.

I was referring to the sheep. It looks good.

You chubby, what do you mean by that?

Don't you run away!

[Linkang Hospital]

Qin Fei.

I like you.

Good.

Fei,

we're about to leave.

Are you really not going to say goodbye to everyone?

Don't you know my habits?

That's exactly why I'm asking.

You always used to think everyone was

just passing acquaintances, temporary colleagues,

and you never liked attending wrap parties.

But this time, I always feel like

you're different from before.

What's different?

Then what about all of these?

What's in all of these boxes?

I'm just packing up some things casually.

I don't like goodbyes.

Then,

what about Xing Zhizhi?

You're not planning to say goodbye to him either?

Xing Zhizhi and I

are just old classmates from over a decade ago.

We barely keep in touch as it is. Why even bother saying goodbye?

Alright!

I believe you.

I totally believe you.

But if you don't

say goodbye to him now,

then when we go back,

you really won't be able to contact him at all.

Who cares?

Give me Xing Zhizhi's contact information.

Why should I?

Otherwise, I'll post your video

on dating websites.

Didn't you say you had already deleted it last time?

You actually believed what a woman said?

Give me your phone.

Here you go, Ms. Coffee.

I'm warning you—

don't you dare block me.

I have a hunch

that things between Fei and Xing Zhizhi aren't over yet.

But she just won't admit it.

So, I'm preparing in advance for her.

Therefore,

you must keep me updated in time

on all of Xing Zhizhi's moves,

got it?

Do you really think I, Yu Zhecheng,

would betray a brother like that?

You are now my spy

planted by Xing Zhizhi's side.

You must report to me

about even the slightest movement he makes.

Alright, I'll do it.

But you have to promise me one thing.

What?

Delete that video, quickly.

Well...

Actually, I never recorded it in the first place.

That little girl...

[Grumpy Milk Cafe]

Xing Zhizhi,

I'm sorry.

For the sake of my future happiness,

you'll have to sacrifice your charm a little.

No way.

That soon?

Qin Fei's reputation has completely turned around now.

She'll definitely go back to filming.

But why didn't she tell us that she was leaving?

I'm kinda sad to see her go.

[Don't waste food.]

Even though she can be sharp-tongued and stubborn,

she's really good to Xixi.

And she's efficient at work too.

How about we give her a

farewell surprise?

I think that's a good idea.

What gift should we give her?

What to give...

Dr. Xing,

what do you think?

Think about what?

Isn't Qin Fei leaving?

We want to give her a surprise gift.

Aren't you the closest to Qin Fei?

-Yeah. -What do you think she'd like?

Who said I'm close to her?

[Don't waste food.]

I treat all of you equally.

You're awake.

You woke me up, okay?

Nonsense, I'm as quiet as a mouse.

And to think I brought Jin Na's photo for you.

Why do you want my photo?

You're switching your celebrity crush to me now?

Don't flatter yourself.

After you're gone,

when I feel like cursing someone out,

I can just curse at your photo instead.

Qin Fei, Qin Fei.

Xixi, stop pretending.

You'll miss me terribly;

that's why you want my photo.

When you miss me too much, just look at it.

If it gets unbearable,

you can even give it a kiss.

I know you can't bear to part with me.

The photo's yours now.

That's so cheesy.

Alright, alright.

Go say goodbye to your Dr. Xing already.

Confess?

Why should I confess to him?

Sis,

why are you getting so worked up?

I said "Say goodbye,"

not "confess."

So, you admit that you like Dr. Xing, huh?

What's there to like about him?

If anything, he's the one who can't get over me.

You know

my charm.

Ms. Qin Fei is so beautiful.

Dr. Xing should like her.

Alright, alright.

Go say goodbye to your Dr. Xing quickly.

If you don't,

you'll miss your chance.

Stop reading so much gossip.

Alright.

Take good care of yourself.

Even though I won't be here,

I'll be asking Dr. Xing about you.

-If you don't do well... -Qin Fei,

I'll miss you.

Xixi.

I have a gift for you.

Na.

What a beautiful jasmine flower.

How am I supposed to get there? You have to take me there.

You're talking nonsense. You can't even hide your smile.

And you're shaking your hand, from left hand to right, like crazy.

I'll miss you. Can you stay?

I'll miss you too.

Go say goodbye to your Dr. Xing quickly.

If you don't, you'll miss your chance.

Are you looking for Dr. Xing?

I think he's on the rooftop.

Thank you.

[Linkang County Medical Insurance Designated Hospital]

Coffee, are you leaving now?

Qin Fei.

You're heading back now?

Alright, I'll get back to work then.

[Linkang County Hospital Union Committee]

You're leaving, Coffee?

Let me do it, Fei.

Fei, let me do it; let me.

There's really no farewell ceremony, huh?

I...

I even prepared a farewell speech.

-It's okay. -Qin Fei.

Coffee.

You're leaving now?

Make sure to be safe on your journey.

I need to get back to work.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

That's it?

[Linkang County Medical Insurance Designated Hospital]

Everyone's just too busy.

Let me do it.

Come on.

Fei, Fei, Fei.

Xing Zhizhi, Xing Zhizhi, Xing Zhizhi.

That Yu Zhecheng didn't even come to send me off.

Why are you so late?

Even though I don't need a special farewell,

after all...

After all,

you and I have a different relationship.

Xing Zhizhi and I

are just classmates from over a decade ago.

We barely keep in touch as it is. Why even bother saying goodbye?

What kind of relationship do we have?

A fan and a celebrity.

Ms. Qin, I think you've misunderstood.

I just came to let you know

that Li Meilan and the others

originally wanted to give you a farewell surprise,

but they were too busy.

They believe that only one-time encounters

deserve grand gestures,

but since your relationship will continue,

they've decided not to give you a formal send-off.

Dr. Xing,

then, between you and me,

is this a one-time encounter

or a relationship that will last?

♫The silence of night, the breath of rain♫

♫They became pleasant because of you♫

♫I never told you how much I missed you♫

♫When I opened my mouth, I couldn't say anything♫

♫You, jade-hued and radiant bright♫

Big star,

leaving so soon?

Xing,

you've been her fan for so many years.

♫You, ashen-gray with gaze downcast♫

Come on, go see her off.

♫Amid all the shadows, you're the only one I see♫

Alright,

I happen to be going to the county town today.

I'll see you off on his behalf.

Let's go.

Coffee.

♫I never told you♫

After you get back,

take Fei for a physical examination.

♫I've never been so firm♫

Her lower back injury hasn't recovered, so she should avoid lifting heavy objects.

Make sure she does regular rehabilitation exercises.

Okay.

♫You're the one♫

Dr. Xing.

♫Longing for you to become the air I breathe♫

Shouldn't these kinds of things

be explained directly to the patient?

♫Thinking of you might give me the courage♫

[Xing Zhizhi]

♫To softly say that I miss you♫

If you need anything,

just make an appointment with me.

♫You're the one♫

I don't have the time.

♫I want to hear you softly call my name as I hold you♫

I do house calls.

Dr. Xing,

♫Feel my heartbeat sync with yours♫

aren't you being a bit too concerned

about me since we're just old classmates?

♫I'm sure my heart thinks of you♫

Well.

I'll take this.

Get in; let's go.

Drive carefully.

Keep this.

Okay.

Ms. Qin,

are you sure you've got everything?

Why don't we go down and take another look?

I left nothing.

Okay.

If you did leave anything, we can

check the lost and found later.

♫You're the one♫

♫Longing for you to become the air I breathe♫

♫To softly say that I miss you♫

♫You're the one♫
