Original subtitles

1

Once upon a time, there was a planet far away in outer space.

2

The environment there was almost the same as Earth's.

3

So, of course, there were aliens living on it.

4

After a long process of evolution, those aliens

5

established their own civilization.

6

One day, their scientists predicted that their galaxy was going to collapse.

7

To escape, they immigrated to other planets in the universe by spaceship.

8

One group of them came to Earth.

9

They called themselves the Fox Clan.

10

Ancient men on Earth were shocked when they saw them.

11

An ancient book reads that a huge ship-like object flew above the western sea.

12

The people in it wore crowns, had white feathers all over their bodies, and flew high in the sky with no wings.

13

This is the first impression the Fox Clan left on humans.

14

To adapt to the environment on Earth, the Fox Clan never stopped evolving.

15

Finally, they began to look like humans and gradually fit in with them.

16

Since ancient times, the conflicts between humans and the Fox Clan never ended.

17

There was a government proofreading official named Dai Fu,

18

who was especially interested in the love between foxes and humans.

19

He believed love could overcome everything.

20

After Dai Fu died, his son collected all of the stories he had written.

21

He called it "Guang Yi Ji" and had it published.

(The Great Book of Marvels)

22

It was quite popular among its readers.

23

After storytellers added more details, the stories spread even further.

24

But humans began to fear foxes, instead of just being curious.

25

Foxes noticed that humans were getting less and less friendly.

26

They had to hide their identity in this world.

30

Your heartbeat is really slow.

31

Are you really from the sky?

32

Of course. I didn't lie to you.

33

When the moon becomes the shape of a golden hook, the brightest star next to it

34

is the one our clan lived on. It's called, Tian Huo Xing.

(Sky Fire Star)

35

How long have your people been here?

36

I don't know. Many, many years.

37

Well...

38

Are you... Are you human?

39

I am a fox. I have lived for many, many years.

40

But you don't look old.

41

- Well... I want to be a fox, too.

- Why?

42

If foxes live that long without aging,

43

I can be with you for a long time.

44

How many heartbeats did you hear?

45

Three.

46

Now, do you believe me?

47

There must be something wrong with your heart.

48

Guan Pipi.

49

I think you should go to the hospital and have it checked out.

50

Are you scared right now?

51

No.

52

I just feel like... you need to have a health check up -

53

I understand how you feel.

54

I have to go.

55

We haven't finished our interview.

56

What interview?

57

I will be criticized if I write this. Who will believe me?

58

As long as you believe me.

59

Thank you for today, Mr. Helan.

60

Sir, would you like to order something?

61

An order of seafood fried rice.

62

That's for two. It's a big portion.

63

Is there anything for one person?

64

A beef rice meal for one?

65

- Sorry! I'm sorry.

- Are you blind? You got my clothes wet.

66

Sorry, I didn't mean it--

67

She has apologized. Please leave.

68

Where did you come from? Mind your own business!

69

What are you doing?

70

Just wait!

71

Wait!

72

Thank you.

73

Server. May I have one more glass of water?

74

I'm sorry, sir. The restaurant is closing.

75

No problem. Just give me the check.

76

Lord Helan, where are you going?

77

You're not in a suitable mood to see her.

78

You already frightened her last night.

79

I frightened her?

80

I don't understand. What is so terrible about honesty between two people who are in love?

81

Was I wrong to tell her who I really am?

82

No. But revealing to a human that another person's heart

83

only beats three times per minute is a very scary thing.

84

In the past, she always believed me--

85

It's different now. Things are not the same.

86

Lord, this is the Internet age. This didn't exist before.

87

The Internet makes people feel like they know everything.

88

It's hard for them to accept what's still unknown.

89

I think you should give her a little more time.

90

Xiuxian has gone out to look for her.

91

- So, you're saying that cat's heart beats three times per minute.

- Fox.

92

Fox. Heart beats three times per minute. Then what happened?

93

After that, I met a drunk who tried to assault me. Thankfully, another man helped me out.

94

Then I had a weird dream where Mr. Helan and I were at a lake.

95

A lake? Why not flying with you in his arms?

96

Hey. Xin Xiaoju, I'm not joking.

97

Do you believe me or not?

98

I do. Why not?

99

- You believe it?

- Yes.

100

I don't even believe it myself. How can you believe it?

101

Did you forget about when we were in school? The stories my father told us were much scarier than this.

102

Why don't you talk it over with Tianxin? She knows more.

103

She wouldn't believe it. Things like this don't exist.

104

There's no such thing as "don't exist."

105

Einstein once said that science can only prove what exists, not what doesn't.

106

When did Einstein say that?

107

Then again, maybe it was my father who said it.

108

Here comes something else that shouldn't exist.

109

- What are you doing?

- Just tell him I'm not here.

110

- What?

- Go!

111

Go. Go. Go!

112

Hi, weirdo. Do you want another all-meat sandwich today?

113

I'm here for something serious.

114

What? Delivery?

115

I'm here for Miss Guan. Mr. Helan is very worried about her.

116

Miss Guan? I will tell you if I see her.

117

Miss Guan, do you have a minute to chat?

118

Mr. Helan sent me to apologize to you, Miss Guan.

119

He said there was some misunderstanding the other night. Did he scare you?

120

Scared? No. Why would I be?

121

It was just a slow heartbeat.

122

Everyone has a different heart rate. It's normal.

123

Is it?

124

- It is.

- Really?

125

That's great. Since that is the case, Mr. Helan would like to see you this evening.

126

This evening?

127

I have something on at the magazine.

128

What about afterward?

129

- There's another appointment.

- Maybe a late dinner, then?

130

Pipi, didn't you say you had a meeting to get to? Go.

131

- Oh, right. I've got to go, now.

- Huh?

132

Hey, Miss Guan. What should I tell Mr. Helan?

133

Sit. Eat. Why did you scare her?

134

When did I scare her?

135

How did you know she was behind the bar? X-ray vision?

136

Pervert.

137

[Article on the Pearl of Charm]

138

Sir, Miss Qianhua is very busy.

139

Why not return on another occasion?

140

Youran! You can leave now.

141

Aren't you busy?

142

You're here already. You're not welcome here. What is it that you want?

143

What are you helping him find?

144

No matter what it is, it's between me and the Right Priest.

145

It has nothing to do with you.

146

Are you looking for Princess Xiyan's golden mirror?

147

Why does he want it?

148

He has his reasons.

149

You know that Helan Jingting can't inherit Lord Qingmu's position.

150

Why do you help him? He's a half-breed bastard.

151

Left Priest, mind your language!

152

Lord Qingmu is your adopted father and Fox Clan's Head Priest.

153

You're not afraid of disgracing him with that kind of talk?

154

Lord Qingmu already had a marriage contract with Princess Xiyan.

155

But he had a bastard son with a human from who-knows-where.

156

He didn't care about the opposition of the whole Fox Clan.

157

He let this bastard become his heir. Helan Jingting.

158

He's not qualified at all.

159

A few days ago, he asked me about the Pearl of Charm.

160

What? It's not yours?

161

I advise you not to waste any more time on him.

162

In my opinion, when it comes to character,

163

Right Priest is far more qualified than you to become Head Priest.

164

My time is valuable. I won't be seeing you out.

165

Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Love Knot Team @viki.com

166

- Here. A bit more for you.

- Thank you.

167

You're welcome.

168

Go fetch.

169

So you foxes aren't really like dogs.

170

Of course. You humans aren't the same as apes either.

171

Also, don't compare me to such a horrific animal.

172

Aren't you afraid that you know too much?

173

Why would I be afraid?

174

Fox. Alien. Three heartbeats. I wouldn't be afraid, even if you had no heartbeat.

175

- You're not afraid I would eat you?

- Eat me?

176

There are so many animals in this world eaten by humans.

177

There's nothing wrong with a few animals eating humans.

178

It would be great if everyone thought that way.

179

I don't know what other people think. This is what I think.

180

My father is a math teacher. Some people call him crazy.

181

He is always talking about equations and telepathy.

182

He said there's a logical explanation for all of this.

183

He even told me... in this world,

184

one can use math equations to calculate if there are monsters.

185

Monsters? Knock it off.

186

I'm not kidding.

187

Hey. Do you want to hear a story?

188

- What story?

- Look over there.

189

My father used to walk past that park when he was in high school.

190

There was always a girl wearing a white dress, looking at my father.

191

Just staring at him in silence.

192

One day, my dad was so curious that he followed the girl

193

to a shabby old building.

194

He climbed up... and up.

195

He followed her all the way to the top floor.

196

The girl walked into a room.

197

She gently closed the door.

198

My father looked around. It was the only apartment without a light on.

199

So, my father looked into the apartment through the keyhole.

200

There was a chair lying on the floor.

201

Why was there a chair on the floor?

202

My father was curious about that, too.

203

How did that chair fall on the floor?

204

At that moment, a neighborhood Auntie appeared.

205

She told my father that a girl used to live in that apartment.

206

Three months before,

207

she hung herself.

208

After that, no one had ever lived there.

209

After the Auntie left, my father looked in the keyhole again.

210

He saw hardly anything this time.

211

He only saw the color red.

212

Why?

213

Because people who hang themselves...

214

have red blood covering their eyes.

215

How is that possible? There can't be any such thing in this world!

216

My father said anyone who hears this story,

217

when they arrive home, they will discover--

- Stop, stop. Just stop!

218

Nobody will stand in front of my house. There are no monsters. I don't believe it.

219

So, there can be alien foxes but no ghosts?

220

Of course. We are very scientific.

221

You're a scientific coward.

222

I'm telling you. Sometimes... humans can be more terrifying than ghosts.

223

What?

224

Welcome!

225

Hello. Long time, no see.

226

Long time, no see.

227

Can we... speak alone for a minute?

228

- Say it right here.

- Yes, right here.

229

I want to ask you for a favor.

230

- Another fight?

- No, no, not that.

231

We are not speaking to each other. But thank you, so much, for last time.

232

She was good to me for a while. But lately, I don't know what I did to make her so upset.

233

She's always making a big deal out of what happened that day.

234

Her birthday is coming soon. We can't keep doing this.

235

I know it was all my fault. I shouldn't have asked you to provoke her.

236

It was my fault.

237

I'm telling you the truth since we know each other so well.

238

I was wondering if you would come with me to apologize to her.

239

If you want to show sincerity, shouldn't you apologize alone?

240

Yes. I will go ahead first. But you

241

were there, too. Just clean it up for me.

242

If you tell her we were just acting like a couple, she will then believe me.

243

Please? Okay?

244

Deal. I'll see you outside the bar tonight at 10:00.

245

Oh, right. When you talk to her tonight, can you say

246

that it was... all your idea?

247

Why?

248

So she won't be mad at me. Understand?

249

We're best buddies. Help me out. Huh? I'll see you tonight. Bye-bye.

250

You're not really going, are you?

251

Eat your food.

252

What are you doing? When are you giving me the interview article?

253

I haven't finished organizing it, yet.

254

Hurry up!

255

You have a visitor outside.

256

How could I have a visitor?

257

I think it's strange, too.

258

This person is tall and handsome, wearing a big pair of sunglasses. He said he has something very important to talk to you about.

259

Sunglasses?

260

Just tell him I'm not at work today.

261

Why should I?

262

Don't ask why. Just tell him.

263

- Got to go!

- Hey!

264

Where are you going?

265

What is she doing? So mysterious.

266

Hi. Was Pipi there?

267

She's not at work today.

268

Not at work?

269

She probably went out on an interview.

270

Would you like to leave your name and phone numb--

271

No, thanks.

272

Okay, then.

273

Hello? Where are you? I didn't see you at school today.

274

I'm at Pipi's magazine.

275

What are you doing there?

276

I think I should tell Pipi. We can't hide this from her.

277

Pipi...

278

But she's not here.

279

I'll let you go. I have to go prepare for the Skype interview with the supervisor in the U.S.

280

Sure.

281

Hi.

282

May I ask if Tao Jialin is here?

283

Tao Jialin?

284

He just left, right? I don't think he's in school now.

285

Do you know when he's coming back?

286

We don't know.

287

Thanks.

288

Who's that?

289

Tao Jialin's girlfriend.

290

Isn't Tao Jialin with Tianxin from the Music Department?

291

It's complicated. Let's not get involved in this.

292

Tianxin. Tianxin!

293

Pipi.

294

Why are you here?

295

I'm glad I saw you. I went to look for Jialin, but he's not at school.

296

Can I borrow your phone? I broke my phone last night, so I couldn't get in touch with him.

297

Oh... Sure.

298

- Here.

- Thanks.

299

I do like scientific researching and... and...

300

This is really an addiction for me, from my childhood.

301

Oh, okay. Why would you choose our school?

302

No one answered?

303

He's probably doing the interview.

304

Call him later.

305

Can I stay with you today?

306

Sure. Of course.

307

What happened to you? Feeling unwell?

308

Nothing.

309

Last night...

310

I saw you and...

311

Senior!

312

Senior.

313

We are all here. Shall we go together?

314

Sure. You wait for me.

315

All right. We will wait for you over there.

316

- Let's go.

- I'm coming.

317

Where are you going?

318

They prepared a "going away" party for us seniors at the In Plus Bar tonight.

319

Can I go with you?

320

I thought you hated clubs.

321

I don't want to be alone today.

322

Please, take me with you.

323

Okay. Uh, Jialin can meet us there when he's done.

324

Let's go then.

325

Humans are really strange. They become lost...

326

after they meet the people they like. They will accept the most absurd requests.

327

Can't they see they're being used?

328

It's really stupid.

329

Teacher Kuanyong, I have a question.

330

Why are humans so stupid?

331

They become lost when they meet someone they like.

332

Then they will accept the most absurd requests.

333

Can't they see they're being used?

334

So... what are you trying to use me for?

335

Wow. Kuan Kuan. I like you more and more.

[Doubling names is uncommon among male friends.]

336

I want you to go somewhere with me.

337

Where?

338

- What should we eat?

- Whatever.

339

What do you want to eat?

340

This looks nice.

341

Can we eat at this restaurant?

342

- This one.

- Sure.

343

You go in first. I'll go buy a drink.

344

There are drinks inside.

345

It's cheaper outside.

346

I'll wait for you inside.

347

Bag these up for me, okay?

348

Yes.

349

Sorry, I don't have enough change. Can you wait a sec?

350

It's okay. It's on me.

351

I can't do that. My friend is just inside. I'll borrow it from her. I'll be right back.

352

Please, please. Just take it.

353

Xin, can I borrow some change?

354

- Is that enough?

- Thanks.

355

Here is your money.

356

I don't need the money.

357

How can I do that?

358

Miss, can you give me your blessing?

359

Blessing?

360

What blessing? How do I do that?

361

Please, lift your fingers

362

and touch the top of my head.

363

That... Why?

364

I'm so sorry! I offended you.

365

Please, don't blame me! Please, don't blame me!

366

Please, don't be like that.

367

Okay, I'll touch the top of your head?

368

Two chicken ones. One pork and one beef.

369

Two chicken ones?

370

- Yes.

- All right.

371

Is that enough?

372

Thank you, Miss.

373

I'm sorry I offended you.

374

Please, don't tell Lord Priest.

375

Lord Priest?

376

You mean Helan is...

377

We can't just call Lord Priest by name.

378

So you know, He-- Lord Priest?

379

I don't know him! You can't just know him.

380

Unless, that is, you're willing to introduce me.

381

But how do you know that he knows me if you don't know him?

382

Because Lord Priest has planted his fragrance on you.

383

You're wearing his Pearl of Charm.

384

After you put on the charm,

385

you have Lord Priest's fragrance on you.

386

How could he do that without asking!

387

Does your Lord Priest really like to plant fragrance and put charms on people?

388

Lord Priest never plants his fragrance on just anyone.

389

Only if... that person is his woman.

390

Here, take this money!

391

Miss. Miss, your food is ready.

392

Oh, thanks.

393

What happened?

394

Nothing, it's all right.

395

Just eat.

396

Pipi, why are you so strange today?

397

Nothing's wrong. I'm probably just tired from work.

398

What's wrong?

399

I just wanted to remind you that we should get off at the next bus stop.

400

Pipi, what on earth is wrong with you?

401

I'm all right.

402

Jialin said his interview is over. He will be here soon.

403

What are you looking at?

404

The man who just walked by. Xiaoju likes him.

405

Isn't that his girlfriend next to him?

406

I suppose so. They broke up earlier but got back together for some reason.

407

It will be so hard for Xiaoju to see them together.

408

- Xiaoju?

- Is it Xiaoju?

409

Why are you two here?

410

Xiaoju, stay with Pipi. We're going to dance.

411

Wait. I have something I need to do.

412

What do you have to do?

413

My friend's girlfriend is having her birthday. I'm here to have fun.

414

What friend? It's that Chen Nan, right?

415

Don't worry. It's just a birthday celebration. It's all right.

416

Wait for me. I'll come and find you later.

417

Xiaoju, stay with me for awhile. I'm a bit scared.

418

There are so many people. What are you scared of?

419

Are you afraid that a fox will eat you up?

420

It's all right. In a while, I'll come and find you. Sit down and be good.

421

Why are you both here?

422

Such a coincidence, Miss Guan. You're also here.

423

We're here to look for Xiaoju.

424

Xiaoju?

425

Why are you looking for Xiaoju?

426

Is she together with Chen Nan?

427

- That's right.

- Where is she?

428

Over there.

429

Thank you.

430

Hey. Hey...

431

- Pipi.

- Jialin.

432

I looked for you all day. I have something to tell you.

433

- Actually, I have something to tell you, too—

- Jialin, you're here.

434

I have something I need to discuss with Jialin. I'm borrowing him for a second, Pipi.

435

Secrets are like Pandora's box.

436

Unlock them by chance and you'll face consequences you'll find hard to endure.

437

We discover some secrets time and time again.

438

Because some secrets may change over time.

439

If you get caught up in one,

440

you'll become a part of that secret.
