[Episode 37]

Powerful, neat and clean.

Fang Xiaowo had such a huge improvement compared to the past.

She is an extraordinary talent.

Who would've known that she already reached this state.

Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5

Without a doubt, it is the king of all concertos.

Who would've known that Xiaowo would play such a hard song for her first performance

and with such a mature orchestra.

She would be a bit nervous

but I believe Xiaowo, you can do it.

In his lifetime, Beethoven created only 5 piano concertos.

This is the most famous one

and also the last one.

Could this also be Xiaowo's last performance?

I will call you Li Zhenyan in the future.

-Hey, hey! - It's pouring rain on me.

Why am I so clever

and nimble?

I also want to be like Qing Shang

on the same stage

and letting the light shine on you

then I will play the piano next to you.

It's like how we privately practice together.

I will watch next to you.

It's more clear than looking from the backstage.

How come you always walk so fast?

I was always watching your back.

I always wanted to catch up to you

but I keep feeling that there is a distance between us,

a distance that I can't get over.

I understand Fang Xiaowo's feelings all along.

I understand it all.

I'm sorry.

We're in a rush.

Please make way.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Mr. Li but Ms. Fang doesn't want to meet you.

Thank you.

Why?

Why do I feel like everything is over?

Everything is different from before.

Fang Xiaowo, are you going to leave me?

[Little Curtain]

World-renowned Conductor Fai She'er has begun this year's around-the-world tour.

The repertoire for Shanghai's performance includes Beethoven's Piano Concerto No 5.

The pianist for this performance is the new star, Fang Xiaowo.

The instrumental ensemble that the two of them gave audience was an unsurpassed, brilliant offering to the gods.

This is Fang Xiaowo's first performance.

That is her. Say, Fang Xiaowo,

how could this happen? Why didn't she tell us that she's having a recital?

She didn't even tell me.

No matter what, the result was good right?

Being able to perform with a mast on the stage, the audience most be large.

She'll have unlimited prospects from now on.

That's right. Xiaowo is originally strong.

If she doesn't depend of Master Fei, she can still do it.

That means Master Fei was willing to give Xiaowo this stage.

That means Xiaowo's ability was recognized.

Senior Brother doesn't know about this right?

It's impossible that he doesn't know.

What's missing is them two collaborating now.

That's right. I also think it's impossible.

Xiaowo has made a good showing for us.

Hello, Director Zhang.

You also came to watch it? How was it?

Thank you.

Okay, you're coming again next time?

Okay. No problem.

Hello?

The schedule later on?

It might be a bit full right now.

Okay, I will confirm then get back to you.

Okay.

Xiaowo, hurry and take a look. The media exploded.

I really didn't expect it. You're too amazing.

Don't worry. Let's hurry and sign the contract now.

I already negotiated for your future contract. Take a look.

I'm not playing anymore.

I won't play in the future anymore.

What?

Really. This is too amazing.

Even if I keep playing, it won't be as good now.

- Hello, you finally— - What do you mean finally?

Nothing. What did you say?

You can't be late for the auditions for musicians.

Right now? Can we change the time?

Change the time? Eldest Master,

Right now, it's only a half hour until the meeting.

You suddenly changed the time meaning that you don't respect them at all.

What wrong, Li Zhenyan?

It's fine. I will arrive within half an hour.

♫ No matter where I'm standing, ♫

♫ just another landscape ♫

♫ Take away the white clouds, then it become rain ♫

I really don't want to go back.

I don't want to keep playing anymore

and I don't know how to work hard anymore.

♫ How do explain why I think of your whereabouts ♫

♫ How can I endure time without you? ♫

♫ To love is to think of where you are non-stop ♫

♫ As boundless as the universe ♫

♫ Only your eyes are looking into my eyes ♫

♫ Stirring confusion in the air ♫

♫ Happiness will reach the peak ♫

♫ Our smiles disturbed by the wind ♫

♫ You are singing our song, ♫

♫ I am smelling your scent Entering a dreamland of love ♫

♫ Happiness will reach the peak ♫

I think this girl isn't bad overall.

It's just that it seems like she doesn't have much experience.

What's wrong?

That's right. I think she's alright too.

You need to focus your efforts on your work. That way you won't be like this.

Okay.

The next one.

Hello?

Li Zhenyan, is Fang Xiaowo with you?

No, what's wrong with her?

This morning she was saying that she wasn't going to play anymore

and then she disappeared.

I called her and she didn't pick up so I asked you.

Hello?

♫ Happiness will reach the peak ♫

Fang Xiaowo? ♫ Our smiles disturbed by the wind ♫

♫ You are singing our song, I am smelling your scent ♫

Fang Xiaowo! ♫ Entering a dreamland of love ♫

♫ Happiness will reach the peak ♫

♫ The moon made our hearts transparent ♫

♫ I will still appear one day ♫

♫ and hold your hand again ♫

♫ Happiness will reach the peak ♫

Here you go. This is your noddles.

♫ You are singing our song, ♫

♫ I am smelling your scent Entering a dreamland of love ♫

♫ Happiness will reach the peak ♫

♫ The moon made our hearts transparent ♫

♫ I will still appear one day ♫

♫ hold your hand and love each other ♫

♫ Love each other ♫

Fang Xiaowo, where are you?

[Fire hydrant, Fire alarm]

Fang Xiaowo? Xiaowo, long time no see.

What's wrong? Why do you look so scared?

What's wrong? Come.

Come down.

We're going to Li Zhenyan's house. Come with us.

I can't go.

Let's go eat something first then.

That's right.

Eat.

Where is uncle?

My dad went out to have fun today. The shop is closed today so I cooked them.

How is it?

It's not tasty.

Xiaowo, slow down.

Here.

Say, how come you didn't tell us that you had a recital with Master Fei?

If you told us then we could cheer you on, right?

Xiaowo, did you argue with Li Zhenyan recently?

He already asked me while looking for you.

He's very worried about you.

Oh right. A kindergarten is looking for a music teacher these past few days.

Student Fang Xiaowo, are you interested?

I am. I can go anytime.

Oh right, auntie. This,

I made two copies. This one is for you.

After we finish recruiting members,

I'll quickly arrange for the first rehearsal and begin the break-in period.

This is my first time seeing you be so sad about someone other than music.

Did you guys reconcile yet?

We're quite fine.

You even learned how to lie.

Fang Xiaowo is being the temporarily music teacher at kindergarten.

If you want to look for her then hurry up and come.

Auntie, I have something to do then I'll get going first.

What? Why are you suddenly so anxious?

Xiaowo is such a cute girl. If she does leave you then you do have to be sad.

Don't you want to ask for some advice from your aunt?

Me ask you? Aunt, you've been single for so long...

I'm afraid I'll be an orphan my whole life.

What? Become an orphan?

Are you cursing me?

This is Fang Xiaowo's actual sound of her piano.

It's sunny, free,

and full of enthusiasm for music.

Because this side of you is too talented

so I always can't resist and want to put you on a better stage.

I already knew on the second day I heard your piano

that it can bring people happiness.

Pure happiness.

Xiao Wo

didn't you always want to collaborate that song with me?

Let's go back and I will play it with you.

It's not necessary anymore.

I don't want to play piano with you anymore.

I don't want to play piano just to play the piano.

Don't force me. I already said

that I'm not in the mood to play piano with you anymore.

That time, my performance with Master Fei

was the most perfect one.

I can't play it anymore.

But you just started your road to becoming a pianist. How can you not play it anymore?

Because I don't want to like you.

I don't want to suffer wrongs in secret because I like you.

I don't want that feeling anymore.

♫ Happiness will reach the peak Our smiles disturbed by the wind ♫

♫ You are singing our song, I am smelling your scent ♫

Did teacher get taken away by the prince?

I don't think he seems like a bad person.

You don't know romance at all.

It's clearly the prince pulling the princess.

I think it's Prince Charming.

♫ I will still appear one day and hold your hand again ♫

♫ Happiness will reach the peak Our smiles disturbed by the wind ♫

♫ You are singing our song, I am smelling your scent Entering a dreamland of love ♫

I choose this piano.

You play this piano.

This isn't the collaboration that I want.

We're going to play

Mozart's Piano Duet Sonata

because this is the first song that we played together.

I'm no longer the same person from the past.

I changed.

People will change.

Me too.

What's the point of saying this right now?

If you don't try then how do you know if it's meaningful or not?

Use your heart to feel the music and get invested in it.

There's no use.

I'm here. Follow my pacing and take it slowly.

It's very good.

Keep on playing just like this.

Can I really do it?

You can do it.

I know you definitely can.

Do you remember when we first collaborated?

Your face was full of smiles back then.

Even though it was randomly played but it was full of power.

That collaboration was the most special performance.

Really?

But the me right now seems to have no strength.

There's only randomness.

Smiling is your strength.

That Fang Xiaowo that is silly and only knows how to be happy

can take the piano keys and turn them into running water, turn them into silk.

You can let the entire world hear your voice.

Xiaowo, I know you were in pain before

but because of pain, being happy is more precious.

Think about how free our university life was

and the happy and sweats that we experienced in Team S.

All of our friends hope you will become a wonderful pianist

or think of us.

I can't remember.

Okay, then think about yourself.

Think about when you were the most happiest.

I don't want to remember you.

That means your most happiest time had me?

There was you

and it was all you.

Not only me, there's also yourself

because this is our collaboration and it's our happiest time.

Even though we collaborated well but you were still like before where you played randomly.

I didn't think that after so long and going around in a circle,

you're still like before.

When I first saw you,

Maybe...

that it's been since that time

that I was in love with you.

Gu Sheng, long time no see.

Is your health good?

Yes.

God has given me good health.

I don't know whether that's a punishment or kindness.

- You still haven't let it go. - I don't even have the courage to face it.

How do I have the right to let it go?

Over ten years...and you've never made an appearance.

Why are you here now?

It was always going to come to this step.

Gu Sheng, thank you.

All these years, you've taken care of Zhenyan.

- Thank you. - Don't thank me.

After sister left, I treated Zhenyan like my own child.

bringing him up til we've reached this point.

It could be considered that I didn't let sister down.

- This is what I didn't do well as a dad. - That's right.

It is indeed your failure. Back then, you wanted to take Zhenyan and wholeheartedly turn him into a person like you.

You placed all your determination onto a small boy.

You pursued what they call an 'attack education'.

You thought you were creating a future pianist

But you were actually training him to be a duplicate of yourself.

It's been about ten years.

who else would I blame?

For these ten-plus years, haven't you been paying for this crime every day?

I still remember that night that Zhenyan came back to China.

You wouldn't stop calling me.

But at that time, I was so immersed in the grief over losing my sister,

I only felt hatred for you.

That was until I saw your message later.

Up until now,

I still remember every single word of that message.

Zhenyan can only sleep in his own bed.

When he got to China, could he sleep?

Regardless of whether you committed a thousand an ten thousand mistakes,

in the end, you are still Zhenyan's father.

Since then, you called every day to ask me about Zhenyan.

Did he sleep well? Is he eating well?

Has he gotten sick? How are his school grades?

Is his piano practice going well or not?

Zhenyan doesn't know any of this. But I know this better than anyone else.

Li Yazhe,

But as to the relationship between a father and son, you are a hundred percent Chinese.

So, you certainly don't need me to be a bridge between the two of you.

You should take steps to let Zhenyan see

how penitent you feel;

and your love for him.

Mistake after mistake...

Back then it was because of my own stubbornness that I destroyed my family.

I think that there was no way in this life

that your sister could ever forgive me.

How can I have the wild hope that Zhenyan could forgive me?

And how can I ever...

take the name of 'father'

and care about Zhenyan?

However, looking at Zhenyan now;

he's doing well.

That's enough for me.

Do you really think that Zhenyan hates you?

If he hated you, he wouldn't be concerned with your existence.

If he hates you, that means that in his heart he still regards you as his father.

When he was little,

I asked Zhenyan

what kind of person he wanted to be when he grew up.

Do you know how he answered me?

Looking at me, he said,

'I want to be a person like my father.'

A person like my father.

That means that in his heart

you're like a hero, an idol to him.

He doesn't really hate you.

He is disappointed in you.

Li Yzahe,

stop secretly watching him from behind.

Go to his side,

hold his hand and walk forward.

Didn't you want my sister to forgive you?

If you have the courage to face all this

then she will forgive you.

Gu Sheng, thank you.

Don't thank me. Everything I've done

is for Zhenyan's own good.

I came to look for you

to face everything from the past.

♫ It's not because of you ♫

♫ I'm still crying from the original destination ♫

- Did you upload this? - Yes. Who else would it be?

Look. Look at the barrage of comments.

They are even asking the blogger to upload the music resources.

How can that song sound so good?

They're all saying that you're singing well.

How did you think about that? How did you think about uploading this?

Because the song is so catchy

if only the two of us hear it then it's such a pity.

Compared to me singing this song,

what I wanted even more than that was that they could hear the original song.

That way, our true feelings could be transmitted to the whole world.

Yan Yan, do you know

that you actually gave me a lot of courage.

Sometimes, it was so much

that I won't be scared to face all the problems in the entire world.

I hope I'm an existence like that to you as well

that way when we're together, we are invincible in the entire world.

Thank you. Thank you, Caiwei.

Thank you, Yan Yan.
