[Episode 19]

He indeed is doing well with instructing.

Your woodwind section is quite good.

Our string music section is the most miserable, right?

In addition, he personally gave me a demonstration of how to play the violin.

I shouldn't say it, but he's only the tiniest bit worse than Qing Shang.

I think it's right like this.

We wasted too much time before.

It's time to buckle down and sprint.

I didn't expect that we would practice for five hours nonstop.

Fang Xiaowo,

do you know that having you guys

makes me think that I can find my future here.

I hope to have a performance that won't lose to the professional orchestra.

As long as we are welcomed by music lovers,

and as long as we cal sell tickets for our public performances,

wait until they all get paid for their regular performances as an orchestra,

Then they will be professional musicians.

This is my dream.

An orchestra that can sustain itself forever by playing orchestral music.

[Little Curtain Noodle Restaurant]

That one is great. This is bigger than I thought. Isn't my son handsome?

- He's handsome. - Come and take a photo for me.

Let me take off my jacket.

RS.

Come on.

One, two.

My future daughter-in-law. You have to take that picture too.

- Good. - Wait. The three of us.

Everyone is here.

Uncle.

- Come on, let's do it together. - Okay.

- Okay, hurry. This is his classmate. - Okay, come on.

Is it done? Okay.

Let's take a look.

- Long time no see, Uncle. - What do you mean long time no see?

- You haven't been to our noddle shop in a while. - I've been busy lately.

- Too busy? - I'll go another day.

- So handsome. - It's from me.

You have good genes. - Tchaikovsky, Brahms Symphony No. 4 in E Minor,

- So amazing. - It'll be better than when I performed.

- It definitely well. - It's a must.

- Let's go eat noddles after it ends. - The old rules.

- The usual meal. - I have all the usual set meals.

Sorry to trouble you Uncle. We can eat your noddles again.

It's a must.

Prepare.

Qin Fen, you got this!

RS, you got this!

He's my son.

What's wrong?

He came.

Who?

Teacher Daiwen.

I'm very nervous because I failed this time again then

I don't know how he'll treat me in the future I...

Don't be nervous.

You're my woman.

So cheesy.

[My Son] [RS Youth Symphony Orchestra]

Today is RS' first performance.

From Team S to Team A and until now,

each performance we've treated like the last one

so today,

we will let the world hear that we won't admit defeat.

This violin concerto in D Major

is the only violin concerto Tchaikovsky's wrote in his life.

Due to a musician's sensitive personality,

the music is even more moving to the audience.

This guides our souls into the depths of our desires and heart's rhythms.

Even though this piece focuses is serene and clear,

you can feel the power of the rhythm continually growing in strength.

From a controlled andante, a new vitality sprouts

and it sends forth a shining vitality.

Do you hear it, everyone from RS?

This is our theme.

This is our passion towards music

And the power of our refusal to never give up.

We wouldn't be mad even if we only have one change to stand on the stage to perform.

As long as there's music, our hearts will always be filled with excitement and yearning.

Someday, we will let the whole world hear our voices.

[My Son] [RS Youth Symphony Orchestra]

I know you'll eventually go abroad

Leave Team RS to me. Don't worry.

I... will be your back up.

♫ A hug ♫

♫ is so sweet ♫

♫ Tightly leaning into you ♫

♫ Don't forget our promise ♫

You this RS Orchestra really is good.

They're indeed people from our Team S.

Ji Mo's oboe is as awesome as before.

What I didn't expect was Qin Fen.

During Lin Qin Shang's solo...

he could actually take her place as First Chair.

It was worth coming today.

It was a pity that we're not in the orchestra anymore. So annoying.

Me too.

I also envy Li Zhenyan.

Principal Lin.

Congrats.

Your performance was very successful today. It was great.

Thank you. There's actually a lot of things that we weren't satisfied with. We'll keep working harder.

It's already not easy for someone to form a professional orchestra with their abilities.

The round of an applause from the audience tonight

was able to prove their recognition towards you guys

but have you reconsider that once the performance is over

how will you and Team RS be in the future?

I probably don't want to reconsider this problem right now.

Okay. When you reconsider then I hope I can help you.

Platini?

That's right. Platini.

Ever since the 90s, they would hold a national competition every four years.

It's known for is severity and degree of difficulty.

The winner can get a scholarship

and have a chance to enter the professional orchestra.

This is the best chance for a young instructor to prove themselves on the national competition.

The competition is next fall. You have one year to prepare.

You're a disciple that Master Fei recognizes

and with your ability, you can try winning.

Sorry, I probably can't go.

Is it because it's at Paris?

I just want to develop within the country.

Do you know that this is a chance that a lot of youngsters dream of?

I know

but I really can't go.

Li Zhenyan, I approve that you put your future and career within the country

but to be knocked down by your own past experiences, and refuse to pursue your dreams.

This isn't what Paci taught you.

If your giving up was exchanged

for giving up your hopes for the future, do you think that's worth it?

Also, Team RS. What experience do you have

can guarantee that this orchestra will keep going forever?

Don't be in a big hurry to give me an answer on this.

I'll leave this with you.

Li Zhenyan!

I'm here!

What are we eating today?

I haven't thought about it. I'll go take a long.

Spaghetti, shrimps, and eggs.

What do we eat?

Platini Conductor Competition.

♪ Sweet chocolate, I like you. ♪

♪ It fills us with vitality. Do. Do. ♪

Okay, finished!

You're finally finished.

Goodbye, Teacher.

Wait.

Where are you going? We haven't started class yet. Come back.

Didn't you say we could be finished playing after Pi Pi Cao?

I knew you would do that.

Good thing I left evidence. Look at it yourself.

After Pi Pi Cao is perfected. Oh, no.

How come I forgot about it?

Take it.

Listen to me. Before the next week,

pick ten songs from there and be familiar with them.

Do I have to pick ten songs?

Do you know why?

Because you cut through the class.

I looked at your academic credits. This is serious.

You're in danger this semester.

It's fine. I can practice with Li Zhenyan.

Li Zhenyan has a lot of things to do with the orchestra.

Do you want to make him suffer? Besides, he's about to graduate.

What will you do when he leaves?

What do I do?

Let me think. There's still a way to get more credits.

You have to attend a big competition.

If you get a good grade then you have a chance to develop.

Let me remind you. No matter if it's for yourself or Li Zhenyan,

you have to practice well and once you do,

believe in what I say.

You won't regret during this lifetime. Really.

One, two, three, four, five...

Why do I have so much music sheets?

Is Li Zhenyan really fine?

It sounds so great. This is one of my favorite songs.

I could hear the sound from afar and I came here by listening to it.

I didn't expect it to have such a different feeling when you play it using the guzheng.

I heard the teacher mention before

this song has a piano and Chinese zither instrumental ensemble.

but I never heard it. Now that I heard it, I realized

that the ensemble could sound much better and sound more cheerful and fun.

Do you think so too?

Sorry, I interrupted you.

Can you keep playing?

I... I won't make noise.

I can.

Why are you sleeping here?

I'm attend class.

The teacher asked me to practice meditation.

He wants me to reach a higher level in music, something more vast and distant.

Really? Let me try too.

Is it really useful?

It's useful.

It's really effective for hypnotizing.

This is the most comfortable place at Paci.

I think so too.

I'm so blissful.

There's a lot of bugs here. Aren't you afraid?

I eat bugs. It's more like bugs are afraid of me.

That's true.

You're playing it quite well.

Why aren't you happy when you play it?

Because my hand gestures don't look good.

I always get scolded by the teacher so I don't like it.

Got scolded? I don't know which teacher taught you

but I have to tell you something that what's important when playing the piano

It's not about how smooth or nice your fingers are,

but what's important is the musician that is playing during the process

can convey their feelings to the audience.

Do you believe that your happy and sadness

can be felt by the audience through your playing.

Can you be my teacher?

I want to learn the piano with you and become someone like you.

Really?

Then let's practice Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Fang Xiaowo.

Wake up, Xiaowo.

Why don't you recognize your bed? You fall alseep everywhere.

Why are you here?

Where is he?

Him?

A fairy just slept here with me.

You slept...

Did you have a dream? Hurry and get up. Go to class.

Your clothes are dirty. Hurry and go back and wash them. Let's go.

It's fine.

I'm telling you. You shouldn't be concerned with tiny little, confusing details.

Calmness is a prerequisite to a calm state of mind.

In that way, we can experience a deeper level in music.

Vast and far-reaching.

Hurry and get up. That sleeping has left you dazed.

What are you talking about?

Let's go to class over there.

[Little Curtain]

Have you thought it through?

I'm hesitating.

Xiaowo, can I ask you a question?

It's a question that I'm very curious about.

Who did you learn piano from?

When did you start playing piano?

I didn't officially learn piano.

I was just playing the toy piano when I was young.

Impossible.

You play too well. It's impossible for you to play like this without anyone teaching.

Really?

For real.

Did you really not learn it at all?

For example, a music class.

I attended a piano class for three months

but it was only for three months and never went again.

Why?

The teacher over there probably doesn't like me.

What teacher is that?

What taste do they have?

They have no taste.

But I have to thank them. If it wasn't because of them

then we wouldn't meet. I would've missed a gifted pianist.

Hu Qianjui, I've known you for over twenty years.

You know me the most this time.

Dad Qin, add a little more lard to Teacher Hu's.

Didn't he want something light?

Okay. I'll add it. Coming right up.

I always understood you.

Teacher, class is over so I'm going home.

- Bye-bye. - Wait a second.

This is the application form for the Maraudon Piano Competition.

After you win, you'll not only get a high scholarship

And you'll get the opportunity to work with the great piano masters.

There's only two slots at school.

You are one of those two slots. That's it.

These are some alternative pieces that I selected for you. Practice them.

Teacher, give this slot to someone else.

I don't want the music sheets either. Class is over so I'm leaving. Bye-bye.

Fang Xiaowo!

Fang Xiaowo!

Maraudon? That's a great opportunity.

It's good.

But Fang Xiaowo

already rejected it.

It could be understood.

If I change the slot to you,

Should I say that you're a narcissist

But that word isn't quite right. It's more like you think of yourself as high and pure.

You probably won't join a competition like that but she's different from you.

First, I object to your judgment of me.

Next, I want to ask if you really think suitable to this competition?

I can wholeheartedly declare that based on her skills

and her creativity, she would definitely rank in the top three.

Then what if the judges don't like her carefree style?

That's not important. What's important is

Fang Xiaowo can't truly understand the difference between freedom and recklessness.

If you can solve that problem,

Fan Xiaowo's prospects endless.

I also thought that, but I never dared to say it.

She...

whatever experience she's had previously has caused her to reject the standard form of training.

Perhaps she's met a teacher like me before.

- You're right. - What do you mean?

Nothing, teacher. Continue.

I don't want to speak anymore.

Shall I talk about you?

What problem do I have?

I think that you should open yourself and

be more courageous. Get in touch with the outside world.

You know how amazing you are. Let me say some sincere words.

You are actually the same as Xiaowo.

You both like to keep things in your heart instead of letting it out,

even if it's a little small thing,

but have you thought about it?

Every small thing

in the same time

is in your heart. It will become a very big pressure.

leaving you out of breath.

Perhaps I'm not right, but I want you to think it through.

You're here, staring into space again?

I'm just looking.

Just looking.

Teacher Zhang told me about the competition.

Do you really not want to enter it?

I don't want to.

The competition is all about testing.

I just want to be happy and carefree when I play the piano.

Do you know,

no matter if it's a competition or a test, it is an aspect of music.

It's not a failure and at this stage,

you can share the music in your heart with the rest of the audience.

The bigger the stage, the bigger the space to share.

Do you understand?

Also, you don't want to perform with me?

I want to,

but you have to let me think about it.

I've been busy with RS.

Fang Xiaowo, don't make me worry about you all the time.

Don't worry.

Conductor, on stage please.

Okay.

Where am I?

Is there someone here? Hey!

Is there someone here?

Is there someone here?

Xiaowo. Fang Xiaowo!

Xiaowo!

Fang Xiaowo, help me!

Help me! Xiaowo!

Xiaowo!

Xiaowo!

♪ Chocolate is turning into fat. ♪

♪ in your little belly. Little belly ♪

♪ isn't being mischievous again. ♪

Why didn't you tell me before you came here?

I told you and you forgot.

You should be Fang Xiaowo, right?

Do you know who I am?

What relation do you have with him?

I will marry him in the future.

What kind of girl wants to marry you so quickly?

She's so pretty and cute. You must be happy.

What are you doing? Stopping me from talking?

Yes. Dou Ben Dou; green and organic.

So healthy, right? Didn't you ask me before to eat more healthy?

No wonder you get even more handsome as you grow older.

Hey, Li Zhenyan. Who is she?

- Her? She is my— - Mom.

Hello, mom— I mean, aunt.

Don't be so anxious. She's too cute.

I like her even more now. Hurry and sit.

I won't joke with you. I almost scared you. I'm his aunt.

- Hello, Aunt. - But calling me Mother-in-Law wouldn't be wrong.

His mother died when he was young. So I was the one who endured all the hardships of raising Zhenyan. I'm like his mother.

Hey, hey. Aren't we eating? Can't you be more civilized?

You said you wanted to come see me, right? I'm telling you now that I am doing well. Thank you.

- You can leave when you've finished eating. - Not likely.

I just sat down and you already want me to leave?

You are too cold-blooded.

Auntie, you are really youthful.

I thought that you were his ex girlfriend.

Right? They all say that,

but I'm better than his ex girlfriend.

What was her name again? Jiang Caiwei!

If I was younger, I would've been better looking than her.

Auntie is really youthful now too.

You are so sweet.

When I took him outside, people said that I was his sister.

- Later, he wouldn't go out with me anymore. - Hey.

Could it be that you didn't figure out the reason why I wouldn't go out with you anymore?

I'm just kidding. You don't have to be so serious—

No way. That was a joke? You told me that...who...Li

That guy's letter was put into the garbage can. I searched for it in the garbage cans for three hours.

I washed it for a whole day. Do you know how smelly it was?

That was a blessing out of misfortune. You shouldn't be so heartless.

From that time on, he became obsessed with cleanliness, an illness. Isn't that right?

Look at your room! You don't even need a nanny. You saved so much money.

Now, everything here is clean and tidy.

Even if a maiden sees you, she will like you.

No wonder you're so tidy now.

Hurry and let me know why you're here.

Do you still have to ask? I haven't seen you for so long.

Of course I miss you.

I just want to see your classmates and this pretty girlfriend.

Fei She'er said that she's really good.

At first glance today, I can see he was right.

I think you two are well-matched.

Don't be embarrassed. Aren't you happy?

Leave.

Auntie, I.. I'll be leaving first.

We'll see each other later.

You're leaving already?

Let's eat together next time.

- If you want to say something, hurry and say it. - My eyes are full of words. Can you tell?

My eyes are also full of words. Hurry and leave.

How can you treat me like that?

I think that you've changed too much.

- How have I changed? - A serious obsession with cleanliness...

Before, if I wanted to come in,

you wouldn't even let me in if I pushed and pulled.

Now, you even bring your little girlfriend in your home?

After all this, do you think you've changed a lot?

Perhaps this is the feeling of falling in love?

Whether or not it's the feeling of falling love, leftover women like you can't understand it.

What kind of talk is that? I'm quite cautious.

- Leftover woman. - You're not nice.

Okay, I'll tell you some serious matters.

Fei She'er told me about your situation.

Do you still have no way to take the plane to Europe?

Did you come here to talk to me about this?

Your psychologist said that with your PTSD,

if you have any triggers, you could have a reaction.

So are you still having nightmares now?

No, I've already forgotten about this a long time ago. You don't have to be concerned.

Besides, I've begun conducting again. It's all fine.

If you really forgot it,

then why aren't you willing to take the plane because of that person?

You still haven't forgotten. Right?

If it wasn't for that person,

that series of tragedies would never have happened after that.

My mom wouldn't have gone on that plane and she wouldn't have—

This is all because of that person. How can I forget?

- But he is your father. - He's not my father.

Have he looked for me after all these years?

I lose my relationship with him a long time ago.

You should reconsider it if it's for your future or your dream.

You don't want to try it out a little?

We could easily fly to Europe to resolve all those former issues.

There's no use. I've tried countless psychologists and even hypnosis.

They said that the trauma is engraved from a long time ago so it won't help.

- But we can still— - There's nothing else to say.

I'm very well right now.

I've become a conductor. Moreover, I can continue to study in China.

Establish our RS Orchestra. You don't need to worry about me.

Turns out, the secret he didn't want to tell

was this.

Li Zhenyan is really pitiful.

How should I help him?

I know about it, but I don't know much about it.

I just know that he has a long-term trauma with airplanes.

It seems to have something to do with his parents.

I knew him this long,

but I just realized that now.

But are you able to do something about it?

You can convince him to see a psychologist at most.

He has seen the doctor already,

and already tried a lot of methods to no positive outcome.

Is there really no way to help him?

But... Li Zhenyan

wants to achieve his dream.

Perhaps you can talk to him about it.

If he can talk about it,

I think it would help him a lot.

If I don't ask him, he won't tell me.

Unless he is sleeping—

Psychologists and hypnotists have tried countless times.

They said that the trauma is engraved from a long time ago so it won't help.

Hypnosis.

Caiwei! I've thought of an idea. Thank you!

You don't have to thank me. I'm also your friend.

Don't worry. I will definitely cure him.
