Episode 21

Xiao Xiong, I'll wait for you.

[Let's go, Xiao Xiong. I'm relying on you!]

[You can do it!]

Boss, you’re the best!

Yanke.

Yanke.

Yanke.

You are awake?

How is your hand? It's a lot better.

It seems like your dad is looking for you.

[We’ve arrived. Reply once you’ve received this message.]

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Nothing.

But your hand.

Oh. It's fine now.

You are so tired.

Go back and rest, okay?

Then go look for your dad. There must be something urgent if he came all this way to look for you.

Go rest.

But you. I'm fine.

Ding Ding and them will come over later. If they are here, you can relax.

If the doctor tells me anything then I will call you immediately.

Okay. Go back.

Don't move. Please don't move.

Then go back.

I won't move.

Okay.

Wait for me.

Rest well.

Leaving.

Yanke.

Okay. We are going over. You can leave.

What happened?

Yanke needs to go out for a second. Let's go to the hospital to be with boss.

Ding Ding.

do you think Boss’ hand is really—

What nonsense are you talking about? Don’t jinx it! Walk faster!

Yes.

Let’s go and buy some chicken feet for Boss.

Xiong Yifan.

Where are your parents?

Um. It's fine, you can just tell me.

Your report came out.

Thank you.

What should I do?

Son is back.

Wash your hands. We are going to eat soon.

Here, Old Yan. Have some tea.

Dad.

How are the preparations going for your studies abroad?

Today, I went to look for Coach Tang.

Let's start the transfer process.

Dad, didn’t I say before that I’ll handle this myself?

Now is not the time.

Right now is not the time.

Then when is?

Do you think you’re still a child?

You still have a lot of time to waste, right?

Yanke, let me tell you.

Since you ignored our discouragement and chose to pursue arts,

you’ll have to work a hundred, a thousand times harder than others.

Don't force me.

Okay. I will force you.

One day, you’ll look back on this and thank me.

I'm going to go take care of it right now.

Old Yan, what are you doing?

What are you dragging me for?

Why are you so anxious? Look, your wrinkles show when you're angry.

- Ok, ok. - Be prepared.

Ok.

What are you doing? Was that necessary?

Here you go again.

- What did I do - You’re the one spoiling him.

Yes, yes. I’m the one spoiling him.

Here, have some tea. Don’t be angry.

Oh no, look at how bad my memory is.

Son, I forgot to buy laundry detergent. Go.

Go help Mom to buy some laundry detergent.

Go.

Okay. Drink some tea.

Put it there.

You got discharged today? Why didn’t you stay for two more days?

The doctor said that I can just go back for a review.

I hurt my hand not my leg.

The hospital won’t let me stay for so long.

Then do you want to tell Yanke?

I don't think so.

His parents came. We shouldn't bother him.

It’s a minor injury. It’s fine.

Go to class.

Go.

Why don't I stay here with you?

You really don't have to.

Okay. Hurry and go.

Then I'm leaving.

If anything crops up, I’ll give you a call. I won’t hold back.

I'm really leaving.

Bye bye.

How is boss? What should we do now?

She’s putting on a brave front.

But we need to give her some time. Something so serious happened,

No one can accept it that fast.

Then should we tell Yanke?

Boss doesn't want to.

How is it possible she can't throw a javelin anymore?

We’ve seen Boss work hard for so many years.

Did all of that go to waste?

Come, you...

You have to start running. Your movements must be precise.

Talk with me.

Senior sister. I think

I should officially drop out of the javelin team.

Then what do you plan on doing next?

I don't know.

Besides throwing javelin, I don’t know what else I can do.

Life is long,

and it's not a one-way road.

No matter what you choose, we will support you.

Don't forget. There are people near you who care about you.

Who is it?

Xiao Xiong? Auntie.

Did you come to find Yanke?

Come on in.

Come in.

Thank you, auntie.

He went out. He should be back soon.

I'm going to help tidy up. You can sit wherever.

I'll pour you some water. Thank you auntie.

Oh no, will she find out about our relationship?

Was it strange for me to just show up randomly?

Xiao Xiong. There is milk, juice

which one do you want?

I’m fine with either. Don’t trouble yourself, Auntie.

It’s no trouble. Then you can drink some orange juice.

Increase your vitamin C.

Don’t stand. Have a seat.

Here.

- But I just took it out from the fridge, it’s a little too cold. - Okay.

Leave it out for a while.

Girls have to give birth in the future. Don’t drink beverages that are too cold.

What happened to your hand?

It’s nothing. When I was exercising, I accidentally sprained it. I’m used to it.

That's not ok. This type of serious injury

could become a permanent problem if it doesn't heal well.

Oh, right. Didn’t you previously teach me how to choose pork legs?

Now, I even know how to choose pork knuckles.

I happen to have some. I’ll stew them for you to eat.

You should eat whatever body part you've injured to help it get better.

Okay.

- I'll have to trouble you then. - It's no trouble.

Isn’t this the music academy that Yan Ke wants to go to?

Your dad seems to be looking for you.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

It's fine.

I will always be by your side.

Auntie, I still have something urgent to do. I’ll go first. I’ll visit you again next time.

Xiao Xiong.

Why did she leave so fast?

I haven’t stewed the pork knuckles.

♫ The breeze gently caresses your eyes ♫ ♫ It's my smiling face ♫

♫ The rain drizzle, drop by drop, hitting my heart is your side profile ♫

♫ Recalling the nostalgia when we first met with the slightest sweetness ♫

♫ However, you and I merely exist in those memories that we’ll look back on ♫

♫ The predictions that have been tacitly understood between us have yet to be realized ♫

Mom.

Come. Let me tell you something.

Xiao Xiong came to find you. Where is she?

I don't know. I was working in the kitchen and when I turned around

she said she had something to do and she left. I also don’t know what happened.

She was sitting there.

Mom, I'll be back soon.

What's wrong?

Where are you going? Come back early.

How sneaky.

No, I have to go to the school tomorrow.

To take care of the transfer process.

♫ The moments we walked together ♫

♫ Just we wait for the dawn, let's meet again ♫

[Yan Ke]

Why aren't you picking up my calls?

I didn't hear them.

I heard that you came to look for me.

Why did you leave?

Because... my senior sister gave me a call at the time.

She wanted me to come to the gym, so I went.

Really? Really. Why would I lie to you?

You haven't told me about your hand.

It's fine. It's really fine. I'm going to the doctor to check tomorrow.

You don't have to worry.

Let's go on a date.

[Female Dormitory]

Do you know about the situation?

How cute.

Woah.

I haven’t seen cotton candy being sold on the streets for a really long time.

You want to try it? Come on.

Hello, boss. One cotton candy, please.

Strawberry flavor.

Xiao Xiong's hand probably won't return to normal.

She can't throw a javelin again.

Thank you.

Yanke.

It's good right?

It's on your mouth.

Let's go.

I was so happy today.

But don't you think time passed too fast? Yeah.

Why don't we go to my house?

Isn't it a bit weird with Uncle and Aunt there?

Why are you laughing?

My parents are staying in a hotel tonight.

They aren't there.

What were you thinking of?

N-Nothing... I’m not thinking of anything.

I didn't think of anything. Let's go.

Do you know why I like you?

Not because I'm handsome?

Then do you know when you are the most handsome?

When?

When you are playing piano.

Because I think that when you are playign the piano

you’re doing something that you like most.

When you play it's like you're glowing, so you look really handsome.

I hope you can always be that handsome.

Xiao Xiong.

I also want you to know.

No matter what you like to do

or what kind of person you become,

I will always like you.

I'll get you some water.

♫ Among the crowd, is the gaze that you and I exchanged ♫

♫ Meeting you in my dreams ♫ ♫ And seeing your face again ♫

♫ Before meeting ♫

♫ The kun strings are restless ♫

♫ Just we wait for the dawn, let's meet again ♫

Yanke. I'm sorry.

♫ The rain drizzle, drop by drop, hitting my heart is your side profile ♫

♫ Recalling the nostalgia when we first met with the slightest sweetness ♫

- Alright, I’ll go home by myself today. - I can take you.

No need. Go back and rest. I can do it.

The car is about to leave. Bye bye.

Then I'm getting on. Bye bye.

But.

♫ Before meeting ♫

♫ The kun strings are restless ♫

♫ Possible picture with you ♫

Go.

♫ Before leaving ♫

♫ It's the smoke from last night spring rain ♫

♫ Take another look ♫ ♫ Missing you turns into yearning gradually ♫

♫ Before dawn ♫

♫ There's a whisper of an oath ♫

♫ The moments we walked together ♫

♫ Just we wait for the dawn, let's meet again ♫

You're busy?

What happened?

- It’s fine. - It’s bleeding. Wait a moment.

How could you be so careless?

Does it hurt?

Give me your hand.

Is this okay?

These past two days you've been really absent-minded.

What’s going on? Is something bothering you?

One day, if... I’m saying if

your hand got injured and you can never take photos again,

what would you do?

If my hand got injured and I couldn’t take photos,

I would probably... change careers.

Anyway, I’m so handsome.

I don't need to worry about money.

There are a lot of roads you can take in life.

Hello, Mr. Tang

What did you say about Xiao Xiong?

Yanke! What is it?

Xiao Xiong. Xiao Xiong left. What do you mean?

Xiao Xiong ased for a leave and left school

But no one can contact her right now.

Nothing. What about the house?

I called Uncle Xiong right away.

But he asked me how Xio Xiong was doing in school?

I think Boss didn't tell her dad about her wrist being injured.

Where else could she be?

Let me think.

Do you think maybe Boss wants to be alone for a while?

And she'll contact us when she feels better?

Okay.

If you hear anything at all, tell me right away.

Whatever she says--

Hey kid, why are you not doing your job as a boyfriend?

Something so terrible happened to Xiao Xiong and you lost her?

Just relax a bit. Boss will be fine.

What if she's not fine?

Who's taking responsibility? You?

Or is it you?

I looked everywhere.

Nothing.

Yanke. Don't worry too much.

We will contact you if we get any information.

Don't worry too much.

Boss isn't a kid anymore.

She had such a terrible thing happen and I didn't know at all?

You and Yan Ke are at her side all day, how--

how can you not even take care of one person?

Bai Yuze, first you need to calm down.

She is gone. How can I calm down?

You, on the other hand, are best friends with her. Why are you so relaxed?

Because I am her best friend

so I understand her more.

Bai Yuze. Do you understand Xiao Xiong?

Do you know what type of person she is?

She's someone who shields me when I'm bullied.

She won't give up on her dreams.

She's the most optimistic

and most courageous person I've ever seen.

She won't have a total collapse because of this one thing.

She needs time.

We can only wait for her.

You don't understand Xiao Xiong at all.

And you understand me even less.

Relax. If I get any information, I will contact you.

Relax.

Don't be confused just because Boss is usually reckless.

At the most critical time, she never makes us worried.

But you, you should take care of the piano thing right away.

You know?

Xiao Xiong. She knew a long time ago.

Before, she wanted me to ask you.

But was scared that you would realize so didn't.

It's crazy, right? She probably didn't want to trouble you.

It was also hard on her.

With her personality,

its hard for her to keep any secret.

Can I ask you a question? Ask.

When you were starting your own business,

Did your parents restrict you? Restrict.

My dad even said he would break my legs.

He even threatened not to leave me any inheritance.

They only have one child.

Who else would they give it to?

Really.

As the saying goes,

No parent can win over their kids.

They restrict us

is for the best for us.

Don't look down on me.

I'm an elite now.

Thank you.

Well, no big deal then.

If you need anything, come find me.

I can give you advice.

What's up? Are you here to transfer schools?

Mr. Tang, I don't want to transfer.

I want to stay at our university and study abroad after.

You need to think about this.

Not everyone has this opportunity.

I know the school fought for this opportunity.

It's hard.

But right now, I have more important things to do.

Okay.

Oh, and--is your dad aware of this important decision?

Yesterday we talked on the phone.

And he sounded worried about you.

Really, Lao Yan.

Can you stop pacing in front of me?

You're giving me a headache.

Did you call Yanke?

I did! Of course I did.

I mean you should give him time.

He can't fly back.

What happened to you recently?

You've been hot-tempered

and always get angry

Didn't he come back.

You kid.

You.

You still have the nerve to come back.

What are you doing?

As soon as you see him, you want to fight? That's violent behavior.

You just spoined him.

I spoiled both you! I spoil him? So what!

You know?

Of course I know. Could I not know?

This. Come here.

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

No!

I've given it a lot of thought and consideration.

Careful consideration?

After your careful consideration, you want to ruin your future? Of course not!

Dad. Can you listen to me finish? Just once.

I won't.

He is asking you. Just sit and listen to him.

Can you talk

calmly and nicely?

Talk it out.

Your face is always so sullen.

Son. It's fine. You talk.

Mom. Dad.

I know you are thinking about my future.

But even more than that, I hope you can trust me.

I did give up the opportunity to study abroad.

But this doesn't mean that I am giving up music.

I can go after graduating.

Right now, I just have more important things to do.

I have to take care of someone important.

I got older.

I will take responsibility for my future.

I really can do it.

I wish that you can trust me.

Lao Yan, you heard our son.

What he just said shows that he has matured.

He's grown up. He can take responsibility.

Isn't that right?

Think about it more and then we'll talk again.

Don't mind him. Your dad is like this.

He'll calm down later.

Don't mind him.

Mom wants to tell you.

No matter what you do, as long as you are happy

mommy will support you. Okay?

Thank you mom.

You've got quick moves.

Xiao Xiong.

When can you bring her back and let your dad meet her?

Next time.

Yanke. I'm sorry.

Because of me, you have to think about whether you want to go to the music studio.

I don't have to be a burden to you.

I want to calm down for a little.

During this time, you don't have to worry about me.

I just want to be by myself.

Think about what else I can do other than throwing the javelin.

Xiao Xiong! Dad!

Good girl.

Dad

Let me see you.

You got skinnier. Really?

You're eating snacks and not meals again, aren't you?

Let's go home, I'll make you some good food.

Let's go.

Dad.

You must be tired, right?

Dad. When did you know that you wanted me to be a bread baker?

Is it because of mom?

When I fist went out on my own

I felt lost and didn't know what to do.

There happened to be a dessert shop near my house.

I started working there.

I just worked and the days passed.

The days passed, and I still worked there.

Have you felt lost before?

Of course.

We all feel lost most of the time.

What's important is

some may find their way

and stick to it.

I am the one who stuck to it.

So mom helped you to find your way in life.

Sit.

Your mom also liked to eat desserts, just like you.

She often patronized the dessert shop that I worked at.

Every time I saw her eating the desserts I made,

my heart felt...

warm.

I felt that life was so beautiful.

So you learned to bake just to pursue a girl?

So every time I look at you,

it's just like looking at your mom.

She's strong, and brave

and a little stubborn.

That small body

has great powers.

Daddy.

Daddy, I love you.

[What jobs can i find in the US?

♫ The prelude of the first time our hearts fluttered. ♫

What can I do in the US if I'm very strong?

♫ and all sticking by the rules ♫

♫ having you is enough ♫

What's the meaning?

♫ To tell you I love you, just in time ♫

Thank you daddy.

Be careful. It's hot.

Woah. It looks so good.

This is so good.

Why don't you eat some?

I'll watch you eat and I'm happy.

There shouldn’t be any problems from now on.

Xiao Xiong.
