[Episode 30]

Do you like eating this? I thought you told me you liked eating this one more.

- I usually don't eat snacks. - I got a super large bag.

- Fang Xiaowo, be careful. It might explode. - I can't open it.

I want a huge handful.

Who is it?

Hello auntie,

why are you slapping people?

When you gave up on being a professional pianist

and said you were coming to Paris for refinement,

I thought it was weird. It really was because of Li Zhenyan.

Auntie, what really happened is this—

How old are you? You want to start dating.

You, this is how you convinced my daughter?

Do you know how bright her future is?

Who are you?

Enough, you're humiliating me.

Do you really know me?

Have you loved me before?

This time going back, you must practice diligently.

Make up for the time you lost.

Alright, I'll go back with you.

Is it enough? Let's go.

Are you okay?

Song Ran's mom is so scary.

Yeah, I knew her since I was little.

Her mom forced her to play 12 hours of piano everyday.

Later there was a day she couldn't stand it no more, and she went out to play with me. Her mom found out

and tied her to the piano bench. She couldn't even go to the bathroom.

From then on, when she practiced piano she never went to the bathroom.

Is her mom her step-mom?

She's way too cruel.

Actually, in the past when I practiced piano, I've experienced something similar.

But I was clear-minded and escaped from it later on.

So when I see her who is still in the nightmare, I'll feel bad for her.

I never thought she was this pitiful.

She appeared as a bright and glamorous piano genius,

but I never would've thought she suffered so much in the past.

What do we do with Song Ran's stuff?

It's ok, her mom will send people to clean it up later.

I'm not trying to scold you, but I just cleaned it up for you, why is it this messy again?

I didn't frame Song Ran,

who knew with her pretty face

she would still throw her things everywhere. Pretty unexpected.

This is a studio I opened with Teacher Qiao.

This is the recording room. Over there is the workplace.

There are usually lots of people here recording their songs. We've composed lots and lots of songs here.

How is it? It's good, right?

- Yanyan. - Teacher Qiao,

- this is Caiwei whom I told you about before. - This is our Teacher Qiao.

A professional teacher, he's really skilled.

- Hello, Teacher Qiao. - Hello.

How about today I listen to Caiwei's voice.

Actually, vocal nodules is a problem

most singers will have to encounter.

So, you don't have to worry. As long as you have enough willpower, you'll be able to overcome this obstacle.

So take it slow, okay?

There's no problem.

Thank you, teacher.

Come on. Let's warm up your voice.

Relax. Relax completely.

How about this? Change the sound into "Ah."

- Ah. - It's still wrong.

Let me assist you.

Wriggle your body.

That's right.

Come on. Let's do it again.

- Ah. - Wriggle and be relaxed.

Teacher Qiao, we're just getting a start today. Why don't we stop today?

- Let's go. - Don't.

- Teacher. -Teacher Qiao.

- Here. - Thank you.

Yan Yan, I was attending class and you called me out.

Will Teacher Qiao think I don't respect him?

Why are you think so much for?

I think you let him hear your voice and I told him that we were leaving

so I don't think it's a problem. You're not relaxed enough.

If you are more relaxed then there would be better sounds.

Just like what Teacher Qiao just said, let's take it slowly.

Okay then.

It's so pretty.

I brought it abroad so I thought I would give it to you when we come back

but I gave it to you now due to personal reasons.

Do you like it?

I like it. You gave it to me so of course I like it.

Thank you.

Actually, I gave you this necklace because I want you to think of it.

It's like I'm by your side.

No matter what you encounter, you have strength to face it.

Li Zhenyan, it looks like you really like me.

You changed into a necklace to cling onto me everyday.

Stop joking. I'm being serious.

Fang Xiaowo,

no matter what happens, inside my heart you

are the most special and the best existence

so I hope you have the courage to do anything.

I know.

I will.

I really like you.

Fang Xiaowo,

eat during lunchtime.

Stop thinking about other things. Be careful that you'll choke.

You're not asking who gave this?

Do we even need to ask?

It must be our Conductor Li Zhenyan.

You're so smart. Does it look nice? Is it pretty?

I know.

- Doesn't it look nice? - It's so ugly. Hurry up and eat.

So... about you liking Fang Xiaowo...

when do you plan to tell her?

Is it obvious?

When we were eating, your gaze

was just letting out "I love you."

Even a fool could tell.

That's right. Only a fool like Fang Xiaowo couldn't tell.

I'm leaving.

Are you sure that you're not going to tell her?

Until when do you want to keep hiding it?

Am I hiding it?

You don't have to tell someone that you love them.

Moreover, if I say it, we probably can't be friends anymore.

That's right.

Do you want me to help you with your troubles?

I heard the best way to solve pain from love

I can make the sacrifice.

Putting things everywhere. Isn't she using this for class?

What are you doing? You didn't bring your music sheets to class.

I will send them to you. Send me the address.

This...

has to be slow.

It has to be slow and this right hand.

Xiaowo, answer your phone.

Thank you, teacher.

Hello?

Okay.

Teacher, my friend is sending me my music sheets.

He's outside. Can I go get them?

- Go ahead. - Thank you, teacher.

Did you bring your music sheets?

You didn't even answer your phone. I asked Teacher Zhang and then found the address.

I was in class.

What class are you going to without bringing your music sheets? I know.

Let me introduce to you my teacher.

Don't, I...

Teacher!

This is who I always tell you about.

My boyfriend, Li Zhenyan.

Hello, I'm Xiaowo's teacher.

Shake the teacher's hand.

- Li Zhenyan this— - Don't follow me.

Sorry, teacher. I don't now why he's like this.

Xiaowo, I'm actually his dad,

Li Yazhe.

You're his dad?

Then how come you didn't tell me?

You didn't ask me.

I...

from my memory,

Li Zhenyan's dad

gave Li Zhenyan a lot of pain since he was young.

I really hated his dad but...

during this period of time when you were my teacher I think

you're a very good person.

I even think you're a very gentle person.

You're very warm.

I'm so confused right now.

Xiaowo, I unintentionally got you involved

but I hope you can understand me.

Hello.

Hello, what do you know?

Do you know that Li Yazhe is Professor Auclair?

Oh well...

So you told me so much to leave Paris

because of him right?

It was also his arrangement for Xiaowo to learn piano from him, right?

Do you know that I traveled half of earth in order to avoid him?

From Shanghai to Paris and I didn't expect that he...

he would show up in front of me as Fang Xiaowo's teacher.

Do you think this is interesting?

You... don't get agitated.

Listen to me. Actually—

Let me tell you. All of you

From now on, you two stay away from my life.

Hello? Hello?

I won't let you succeed this time.

You person. Didn't the doctor said that after you get treatment

you should answer the phone less and care about things less?

If you don't be obedient then I'll take your phone.

This is the same.

I will listen to you, okay? After I make a call

I will give you my phone, okay?

Love you, Alice.

Love you, okay?

Oh hi.

Your son just called me.

He threw a temper.

What do you plan to do?

I don't want to stall anymore.

and solve it.

You have to think it well then.

I have to give it a try. I don't want to keep lying to him.

Okay.

Good luck, buddy.

Call me anytime you need me, alright?

Alright, you too.

Thank you, my friend.

Dad, that Eiffel Tower is so tall.

I want to be as tall as it.

No problem.

Spinning around.

Let's be like an airplane.

- Okay! - Okay, let's do it together.

- I want to get taller! - I want to get taller!

I have to return the debt I owe

but when I really face it

I don't know what to do.

Not only did the Butterfly Orchestra chose

the same song but they also chose the same date.

So, who is the pianist soloist?

Tian Yisong has invited a pianist.

Oh really? Did Tian Yisong say that?

He invited a virtuoso so we're fucked.

So what do you think?

Okay. I will think about it.

I don't understand. What are we doing?

Conduct Li, what do you think is the best solution?

I think we should maybe have an open selection for the new performers.

So you're in charge of it.

Yes, I will take care of it.

- Okay. - Perfect.

Okay.

By the way, this Friday, our orchestra will be open to the public for applications,

For all vacancies. Remember to tell Ji Mo.

No matter what, I hope he'll come to our orchestra.

I already told him. I'll ask him later.

Zhenyan, do you not like Professor Auclair?

I... Li...

my teacher.

Xiaowo, do you still remember

what those engraved words are on that table?

Yes, I asked you and you didn't tell me.

I engraved that.

It says, "I hate my father." There's another line of small words.

I will grow up someday but won't be the same adult as him.

It said it when I lived here when I was young.

I found this sentence in the picture book, "The Little Prince".

You lived here before?

How come you never told me?

Did you ask me?

You guys are indeed dad and son. You say the same thing.

What did you say?

Nothing.

When I was young, my dad and mom divorced.

I lived here for half a year and he didn't look for me even once.

Until the last day when I was going to go back to the country on the airplane,

I was so furious that I carved this sentence on the desk.

Then... are you not forgiving him?

Forgiving him or not isn't important.

He already disappeared from my life for so long. There's almost not feeling anymore.

How come you came?

I didn't come looking for you. I cam to send the music sheets to Xiaowo.

You're not welcomed here.

Your music sheets.

Teacher, are you still fine?

I'm fine. I already expected this.

He... still doesn't want to see me.

Mom, how come dad still isn't here?

Hello dad, don't worry about me.

I'm quite well over here.

I already ate. What about you guys?

The job that I looked for last time wasn't suitable for me.

I'm looking for one right now. I'm guessing that I can find one soon.

It's fine. Don't worry.

You guys don't have enough money to spend.

Don't worry about me, okay?

Don't worry. Okay, goodbye.

You're still here.

I... I... forgot to get the music sheets when I left.

It's so late. How come you're still not going back?

I usually leave at this time.

What?

Does it feel different to see the conductor's position here?

That's right.

Do you feel different when you look at the position of the conductor from here?

Sitting here is better and being able to be together with everyone.

At least, I'm not alone.

What are you talking about?

The conductor of the orchestra is always together with us.

We're a team. We're in this together, for better or worse.

You were never alone

Because you had this way of thinking, from the very beginning,

We have all felt estranged from you, did you know that?

What... what I mean is that you shouldn't be so tense.

You have to try to get close with everyone.

Treat us well and we will respond.

I will try my best.

Also, I accidentally heard you calling just then.

It looks like your family doesn't support you in being a conductor.

- I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. - It's fine.

It's nothing that can't be seen.

My parents support our family by doing odd jobs in other places throughout the year.

So their hope is that I can find a stable job,

salary, and housing

but it's hard for our profession to have a average salary and be so stable.

That's the reason why they urge me to become a white-collar worker.

or change a profession.

I want to do what they want

so they don't have to worry about me

but conducting to me

Is truly a dream within my reach.

When I was an assistant conductor

I would think multiple times a day

when will I be able to stand here

and conduct an orchestra.

Look at Li Zhenyan and Senior Brother Tian.

They tried their very best because they wanted to stand in this position.

The beauty of music is very scary

but the more pressure there is in reality, the more I want to cherish it.

Perhaps I'm afraid that I don't have much time left to stand in this position

So I'm always going to overdo it. I'm going to tire you guys out,

And force you to keep up with me.

I know. Everyone actually has problems like this.

Each of us cherish the times we perform together

so please be at ease. At least here,

you can try to let go of all of your thoughts. Treat everyone performance

like the last one.

Let us enjoy it.

How about it?

What are you doing here? Shamelessly showing off your good looks?

No, I just used the mask.

How is it? is it good?

It's really amazing. I really like this mask.

I really want to have skin like yours.

Then... what you mean is I have to prepare more boxes for you right?

Did I?

Ji Mo, how come you're here?

Is Xiaowo home?

Other than looking for her, you wouldn't look for anyone else. She's come back soon. Come inside and sit for a while.

Okay.

Is there something this time which is why you're looking for Xiaowo?

Xiaowo told me that the Lumalet Orchestra is recruiting and selecting people.

I want to give it a try.

I chose a new song.

It's Mozart's oboe concerto.

I want Xiaowo to accompany me.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I...

I... will go practice. You guys talk.

Ji Mo, let me tell you.

Fang Xiaowo is busy recently.

She has to finish the homework that Professor Auclair assigned every night

but I am not busy at all.

Why don't you look for me?

I still want to wait until Fang Xiaowo comes back

and ask if she can do it.

Opportunity knocks but once.

Also, I'm very cheap. Only 50 euros.

What about 50 euros?

For the accompaniment.

Look, I have to practice with you for a few days

and take the test with you.

Don't you think it's worth it when we add it up?

Are you just trying to make money by helping me practice and playing the accompaniment?

Of course.

What's wrong? Do you think it's too expensive?

Okay, see how we're so close then 40 euros will do.

30 euros.

20 euros.

Even 20 euros won't do? Are you looking down upon me?

Really. I don't care.

- Are you fine? - It's so hot. Hurry and help me wipe it.

What's wrong with you? Will I eat you? Help me wipe it.

Xiaowo, you're back.

That... I'm going to research those

documents that Professor Auclair gave me.

You guys have fun.

Okay. I will help you for free.

Daria, how come you woke up so early today?

I have an important thing to do today.

What is this?

This is for Ji Mo.

I always see him wear too casual clothing. I can't stand it anymore.

I spent so much money.

And now, recently, I haven't dared to spend any money.

so after this ends,

I will make him treat me to a meal.

What are you eating?

Sorry, I found it in the freezer.

Did you buy it?

I didn't find anything else to eat

- so I ate it first. - No.

There's nothing else to eat here.

I couldn't make it in time today. Sorry.

- What I mean is that seems to— - I was wrong. I can't do this anymore.

I have to leave. I can't make it in time.

I'm sorry, darling. I'm going to be late.

Bye-bye, darling.

This... I seem

to left it for one month or so.

I'm here. I'm not late right?

- Not yet. - That's good.

What are you carrying?

This is for you. Hurry and go change into it.

- For me? - That's right.

I spent half a month worth of expenses.

At the end, you didn't even give me 20 euros.

Thank you but I can't take it.

Quit the nonsense.

I don't like indecisive men.

You need it today. Hurry and go change into it.

The performance of the flute seems to be a bit on its own.

And there are some problems with intonation.

The timbre is rich and mellow.

They performed well.

You have to be confident when playing this piece.

Their technique is skillful.

This performer is not bad.
