[Episode 21]

Senior Brother, why did we come to the airport?

We're riding the airplane.

Ride the airplane? No,

do you think the airplane is like riding the subway or bus?

- We haven't even brought the tickets. How are we going to ride the airplane? - I already brought them.

You already brought them?

- Where are we going? - Beijing.

Why are we going to Beijing for?

We're buying things.

Buying things? What do you want to buy?

How come you have so much things to say? Can you keep quiet?

Senior Brother, we're about to aboard. Are you excited?

What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?

Are you afraid of riding the airplane?

Nonsense. If I wasn't afraid then why would I call you?

So after all, I'm just hear to help you with your courage?

Hurry.

Give her the ticket.

Thanks.

- That... - Mister, what can I help you with?

Can I have a cup of water?

Okay. Please wait.

This...

Distract yourself. Look outside. The weather is so nice.

How can I see it?

It's over there. Look over there.

It's full of people!

Come on. Close your eyes first.

Follow me. Breathe in.

Breathe out and relax.

Breathe in and breathe out again.

Do you feel better?

- I feel better. - You can now.

Just relax.

Let me tell you about the competition. There's three rounds.

You have to perform two songs for the first round.

I selected a few around that area for you.

and Mozart. I played this song before.

Okay, let's play Mozart first since it's the theme.

Teacher, do you think I can win first place?

In your dreams.

You just started. The competition isn't as simple as what you think. Also,

your preparation time is less compared to other students.

How about this? Let's use this competition

as a precious experience to prepare for the future.

I can't.

- Why? - I have to win first place

because if I do then I can get the scholarship and go abroad.

Student Fang Xiaowo, you've changed.

- It's because of— - Because of what?

Li Zhenyan, right? Practice.

I've told you so many times about the rhythm.

If you randomly play right now, it can only prove

that the composer and his work

you're not understanding so the judges won't give you a high score.

Every music note represents a different meaning.

It all depends on you to show it.

- I know. - Continue.

That... Teacher Zhang.

Say, can you go through the back doors for the competition?

Our school has doors in the east and west direction.

Which one do you think is the back door?

What I mean is if the judges give high scores for their own students

or if a parent gives them a red envelope.

Names and schools aren't revealed. Who knows whom? Which back door are they going through?

That means there's no back door. If there's none then I'm at ease.

Enough. Stop thinking of useless things.

Too many people played the other styles.

I wanted to change my style and play it in a different way.

I'm warning you that the test

requires you to chose a work that you know from the composer.

Didn't you say it's easier to get a higher score if it's harder?

Let me give you a suggestion.

If you want to stand on the tree to have the sweetest and most delicious apple,

but I think

you're the hardest to understand.

Continue practicing.

Mr. Chu, I'm already trying my best to talk to you and be your friend.

What on earth are you thinking of?

Why is your song so hard to understand?

Li Zhenyan!

Hello.

Xiaowo, do you know when you talk to him

and why don't understand?

I don't know.

Ask what he wants to show and the meaning of why he composed it

Stand up.

Stand up.

Come on. Blink your eyes.

Turn to your left.

Walk three steps forward.

Turn left again.

Take a big step forward and open the blinds.

Why are you here?

so I came to take a look and clean up for you.

Seeing each other behind the blinds makes us seem like Romeo

and Juliet.

It's a story about a young boy who always played the piano and became a pianist.

Look at what I brought you.

Good food!

It's tasty.

This isn't right. Where did you get Peking roasted duck?

- At Beijing. - Then you rode... rode...

I rode the airplane.

You rode the airplane? This is great! You can ride the airplane now.

Don't worry, I will definitely win first place for this competition.

- I want to go to Europe with you! - Wait a second.

You only practiced the piano for a day and you want to get first place? You have to take it one step at a time.

Don't worry. I will let it become my friend.

I believe in you.

What are you looking at?

I need to recharge.

Recharge?

- Are you finished recharging? - I'm done.

I'll definitely get first place this time.

This is so tasty.

I've reached home. I'll see you on the day of the competition.

What's going on?

but she played it like this today.

Li Zhenyan came yesterday.

When you listen to it, does it seem like she changed into a different person?

- What did you say? Who came? - Li Zhenyan.

Why did he come?

He probably came to teach Xiaowo the piano.

Does Fang Xiaowo need Li Zhenyan to teach her?

Enough. Time is limited.

It's a good thing if there's improvement.

Let me tell you. Don't push Xiaowo too much and don't let her be too tired.

Competition is important but health is even more important.

Okay, I know.

To be honest, she improved quite a lot.

Does it taste good?

Remember not to tell anyone about what happened today.

Hey! Senior Brother.

What are you doing?

A family member came from Beijing and they brought it for us.

Xiaowo's first round for the competition is about to start.

I wonder how her preparation is going.

I'm quite worried about her.

With someone there, we don't need to worry.

That's right.

Try eating this one.

Fang Xiaowo, you'll definitely win.

If you win then I'll treat you to hotpot.

I'm inviting.

Xiaowo, you're such a nice person so you'll have good luck.

Even though you steal my food everytime we eat

and eat what Senior Brother makes.

I really envy you but I hope everything goes well with your competition.

Don't be disqualified after the first round.

Don't be too nervous and act normal.

You have to be relaxed to show your best state.

That's right, Fang Xiaowo. Treat the audience like sheeps.

Senior Brother, say some words.

Hurry.

You already heard that everyone is concerned about you

so you have to be confident in yourself

and I believe that you can do it and win.

But no matter what happens, I'll be by your side.

Wow, "Be by your side."

Oh right. The place is cold when you go on stage.

Remember to put on a jacket and warm your hands beforehand.

You have to remember the music notes.

Who doesn't know how to show love affection? "Remember,

the place is cold so make sure you warm your hands."

What are you doing?

Let's welcome contestant no. 28.

Xiaowo, do you know

that the you right now is full of happiness and power.

You're really different now.

and you should develop towards this goal.

I didn't know you would be the judge of the competition.

- That's right. - Amazing.

I came back to the country for a few days then I'm going abroad to perform.

I was busy with the competition so I didn't have time to contact you.

This competition...

The winner of this competition can go abroad to study.

Did you secretly sign up?

I secretly signed up to be an audience and not the competition.

I understand. Okay, let's meet when we have time.

Go do your work.

Over here.

Li Zhenyan!

- I passed the first round. - I know, I already saw. You did very well today.

Then should you reward me?

Your reward today is that I'll make whatever you want to eat.

- Let's leave the meal for next time. - What's wrong?

Let's go. I'll send you back to the classroom.

Bring me another roasted duck when you go to Beijing again.

What?

You can ride the airplane now.

Do you think it's easy to ride the airplane? Didn't I bring you it two days ago?

- Shasha? - Yisong.

Let me tell you some good news.

The Master called my dad.

He said that he has time tonight. He wants to meet you.

- Tonight? - Yes.

- I'm afraid I can't. - Why?

This is a rare opportunity.

What's wrong? Where are you going?

Shasha, it's Caiwei and my anniversary.

We are settled on it. I have to go keep her company.

That's the case but it's heard to arrange an appointment with Master.

Can you change it to another day with Caiwei?

But wasn't your dream always performing on the best stage in Europe as an instructor?

It's in order to stand on a bigger stage for her to see.

I didn't expect Li Zhenyan to change into a person that would compliment his girlfriend in the moments.

He changed a lot.

I should be happy. Yisong,

finally fulfilled his dream.

Hello. Why did you think of calling me?

I made a decision. I want to participate in a

a national competition for instructors in Paris.

Go to Paris? Are you saying Pairs?

Yes, Paris.

Why all of a sudden?

It's not considered all of a sudden. I actually thought about it for a long time

and plus someone's encouragement all along so I decided to give it a try.

I'm not surprised then. I like Fang Xiaowo even more now.

I was one of the contestants and passed the test.

It's a good orchestra. Congrats.

I'll drop out of Team A after I pass

because I don't have enough time. I want to strive for my dream.

What about you Qing Shang? When are you going abroad?

I haven't thought about it yet.

Could it be that you want to stay in Team RS?

Li Zhenyan isn't bad but I heard he's about to go to France to participate in a competition.

I-I know.

Let me tell you. The people that are participating in the competition are so amazing.

Team A are looking for new members today but we want to join Team RS more.

It's fine. We came for you, Conductor Li Zhenyan.

This... thank you.

There will be performances, right?

Right. We were thinking about performances.

Reconsider us. We practiced really hard.

Okay. I'll reconsider it.

but we really want to join Team RS.

I know but our team probably has no plans to recruit new members.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

This is a great thing. Also,

I feel like our team can keep going.

It feels like our dreams are coming true, right?

Let me talk first.

I think with you in the team,

Senior Brother, and everyone

it feels great.

Also, did you hear what Senior Brother said just then?

I knew he had a good insight. I knew he wouldn't give up on me.

I was so touched just then. I feel like in such a team,

I can practice and go forward with everyone.

I'm too blissful!

Spring time, come to Europe.

- What did you say? - I will arrange everything. The time and I'll wait for you, Qing Shang.

Student Fang Xiaowo, I'm official announcing

from today on, we're racing against time.

Before the second round, those piano

works, practice them well

What's wrong? Is it hard?

This one... in the past...

You learned it in the past? Teacher Hu taught you?

Can he teach you such a hard song with his abilities?

I heard it when I was young.

Li Zhenyan said before that if I want to understand a song,

I have to see the words that the composer used when writing.

Thank you for letting me enter

No. 12.

No. 5.

No. 20.

No. 27.

The last contestant that made it.

No. 28.

- No. 28? - Me!

I entered the final round. I thought I couldn't.

Shouldn't you be happy?

That's right. I wanted to tell you first thing when I made it in unlike you.

You worked hard these few days.

I wanted to say that you were really great during the competition.

You also know that I'm very strict when it comes to music.

It isn't easy for me to compliment you.

I know. I know.

Oh right. I have to go back and practice.

I will watch you at the final round.

I will definitely win first place and let you see but

I want a...

present.

The present you're talking about going home to make you food?

It's the green light. Let's hurry and go.

Hey! I... Li Zhenyan.

No, I want a hug with love.

Pick two between the three songs.

It's a bit hard on you. The final round is approaching

but you only have a few days to practice.

Girl, do you know

what makes me proud of you is that you're still here.

- It's so hard. - How about this?

From these two songs, pick one that can show your abilities

Okay.

Stop.

How come you still can't remember it?

The rhythm and strength.

You don't have rhythm or strength.

What is that called then? Continue.

Stop.

Who is owing you?

What's wrong?

Xiaowo, go eat.

It won't do if you don't eat. You haven't ate since yesterday.

- You won't have the energy to play during the finale. - Okay, wait a second.

Come out with me.

How many times did I tell you?

Don't interrupt when I'm teaching my students.

Her time is already limited.

You're saying that there's not a lot of hope for the finale?

There is hope

but we have to encourage her

and let her practice, right?

Enough. I'll eat the food you delivered just then.

Aren't you trying to nourish Xiaowo?

Go buy some good food.

- I'm going to class. - Okay.

Hello?

Hello, Li Zhenyan.

Why haven't you slept yet?

Do you miss me?

I came to check up to see if you're slacking.

I'm not slacking.

I practice from morning until night. I accidentally fell asleep because I was so tired.

- Is that so? It's that tough? - No.

I said before that I want to get first place.

Okay then. When you come back, I'll make you a championship dish of red braised pork.

Okay.

Xiaowo, got in!

- Hello, Teacher Zhang. - Hello, Teacher Zhang.

Teacher Zhang. Teacher Zhang, can we go visit Fang Xiaowo?

- She got into the finale. - That's right.

She must be super happy. We want to go out and have a big meal.

Stop.

You guys are student and not a paparazzi.

You guys don't have to be so impulsive, okay?

Moreover, Xiaowo is very busy right now.

She has no time to eat and have fun with you guys, okay?

Okay then. We'll bring you then.

Bring me? I can reconsider that.

- Let's talk after the competition ends. - Okay.

Also, Xiaowo's state is very stable right now.

I'm begging you guys, please

don't disturb her. Secretly

support her in your heart and that's enough.

We don't know if she can grasp the chance of winning first place.

Fang Xiaowo is gifted and met such a good teacher like you,

wow she definitely got this championship.

That's right. Teacher Zhang, we're all your fans.

- We're confident in you and Xiaowo. - That's right.

Look. Look at how well Student Li said.

It was all of a sudden and I wasn't prepared.

I didn't expect that I would have fans among the students.

- Teacher, I'm also your fan. - It's my honor.

That... which department are you from?

I'm from the Violin Department.

Let me give you a suggestion.

At the same time when you practice the violin,

go find Teacher Hu if you have time.

- Teacher Hu? - That's right. Learn how to speak well.

Okay. Enough.

I'll thank you guys for Xiaowo.

I will try my best to help her

Let's get a first place,

- okay? - Okay!

Also, let me mention a request.

If you really want to cheer for Xiaowo

then let's cheer for her together on stage, okay?

She got this!

Is there something?

Are you busy recently?

But you probably didn't come to concern about me.

Are you so busy that you're not concerning about Fang Xiaowo?

and she's not doing that great at Teacher Zhang's place.

- Don't you know that? - I knew.

It's probably because she's too nervous.

It should be because of some bad memories.

Xiaowo, look at your hands.

How many times did I tell you? Are you an idiot?

Didn't I tell you to go home and practice the piano?

It's been so long and you can't learn a song well.

Why are you so dumb?

Don't you look at the music sheet?

then she'll be trapped in her small world

Li Zhenyan, you're the only one that can help her.
