Original subtitles

-Hello. -Erduo.

-Long time no see. -Lizi.

Long time no see.

-Hey. -I missed you.

You seem like you enjoyed your honeymoon.

You're practically glowing.

Of course. Maybe you should give it a go.

What?

Mars, why don't we let them talk?

-We'll go in. -Okay.

Erduo, shall we go for a walk?

Sure.

Sit.

-Why are we sitting here? -Just sit down.

-What is it? -Present.

What present?

Stop teasing me.

I knew it.

Looks like your meeting with his parents went well.

How are his parents?

-His dad-- -Did you visit the Italian churches?

They say Italian pasta there is great.

-And Italian chocolates-- -Stop.

You're asking too many questions. I can't even answer.

I can tell you're very happy.

So happy that you probably forgot all about me.

To be honest, I really did forget who you are until I saw the present.

I knew it.

I knew it.

Since you met Mars,

I can see the end of our story.

Enough of that.

Tell me honestly.

Are you planning to settle down in Italy?

We discussed that.

His parents are hoping for us to live in Italy.

I found that the Italian culture

is quite similar to Chinese traditional culture.

We all want the family to stay together.

Does that mean I'll have to go to Italy to see you?

Not that soon.

I still have to finish my work and handover.

Don't worry.

Is it really like Fullmetal Alchemist?

You can't gain anything without sacrificing something.

Why are you being so pessimistic?

That's so unlike the Erduo I know.

You know what?

I passed the interview for the Japanese school.

That's great.

Isn't that what you've been longing for all this while?

Congratulations.

What's the matter?

Is it because of money?

-If it is-- -No.

Money is not the problem. I have the scholarship.

I can work part-time there for pocket money.

It's Ye Shuwei.

What about him?

I almost got blinded by it when I saw you.

Congratulations.

But this is too much.

You didn't even tell me such big news beforehand.

Right?

What's wrong with you?

Are you two having some conflict?

The problem is with me.

He's good, very good.

He's so good to me

that sometimes, I feel unsure of how to react.

This is the first relationship for both of us.

He always lets me have my way.

Sometimes, I wonder if I'm being too self-centered.

And I've neglected him.

Because of me,

he gave up the opportunity to work in Italy,

so he could go to Japan with me.

But...

But I really don't want him

to give up his dream that he had worked so hard for because of me.

Did he know about all this?

I don't know how to tell him.

You need to have a proper talk with him.

Don't run away from the problem.

After all, this concerns the two of you.

Don't worry. You still have me.

There's a song

I'd like you to hear.

What song is this?

The song is called

"I Hear You."

I don't like asking what to do To hide my sadness

"I Hear You."

Never once did I hesitate

-It's nice. -Dedicated to what I've chosen

Do you like it?

I, who have only enjoyed the silence

Finally realize what is missing

I heard the sound of longing Emanating from deep within

How should I pass by gently

To hold onto it

Remember every moment vividly

It will comfort me in times of weakness

The time we spent together has passed

Only I remain in this world

Listening carefully for your outline In the sea breeze

Let this song describe

How special you are in my heart

As the melody plays

The starlight surrounds my ears

The notes between my fingers

Singing softly through the strings

Slowly adhering to The unchanging persistence

Let this song reminds me

That you're my choice forevermore

Remembering every moment

The happiness we shared together

Just like the steady heartbeat

How many stories it contains

The most beautiful is in your voice

The most beautiful is in my feelings

Taking place right here

Shuwei.

I've been wanting to find a suitable time to talk to you properly.

What is it?

You sound so serious.

I've been thinking a lot about it.

From the first day I met you,

I really should thank fate

for bringing you into my life.

For all the wonderful memories.

This has been the happiest time for me.

I was able to experience

the delight that comes with hard work,

the joy of loving

and being loved.

Hence,

I always wonder when I'm alone,

if this is all a dream.

Because it is too good to be true.

Why are you saying such silly things?

No matter you believe it or not,

this is all real.

And it is beautiful.

You know my mom.

I mentioned bits and pieces to you before.

About my life in the past.

My mom raised me alone,

so I always feel that

there are pain and suffering that my mom couldn't talk about.

Her relationship with my dad left her widowed and unhappy.

So I tried to follow her wishes most of the time

to make her happy.

And so,

I took the entrance exam for a high school near our house.

I listened to her

and chose a career in early childhood education.

I listened to her

and worked as a kindergarten teacher in the city.

I listened to her

and went on arranged dates.

From the outside, all of that...

looks like a fake success.

Living such a life

made me slowly lose myself.

Thus,

I made the biggest decision in my life.

I quit my job as a kindergarten teacher.

I started learning Japanese

and voice acting.

I did all that I could to make money,

so I can attend a voice acting school in Japan.

Whenever people around me said,

"You can't do it, Bei Erduo,"

and doubted me,

when my mom couldn't understand me,

I always quietly told myself,

"Bei Erduo,

you're going to become a great voice actor."

This is because I know hard work doesn't equal success,

but you'll never succeed if you don't work hard.

This is the one chance I got

after putting everything on the line in my 22 years of living.

So I need to strive and work hard

for the life I want.

With that,

my life is slowly moving towards how I dreamed it to be.

As for you...

You're the catch I didn't plan for.

I'm not sure if this is a blessing or test from God.

But I'm truly happy when I was given this relationship.

I told myself that I must cherish it.

But the closer it is to the start of school,

the more I think.

I want to realize my dream through my own effort.

I wish to do what I love.

So I can't give up on studying in Japan.

But I don't want to see that

because of my dream,

you are giving up yours

and making compromises.

You're no longer like yourself.

Who you are now is just like how I was before.

Shuwei.

Do you remember what Lin Qingzhuo said?

She said the two of us don't belong to the same world.

When I heard that,

it really frustrated me.

But now I agree with her.

We are indeed not from the same world.

We're both curious about the other's world.

But the reality is harsh and materialistic.

Curiosity and intrigue will not last.

Shuwei.

I can't bring myself to give up on what I've worked so hard for

over...

this relationship.

Moreover, I don't wish for you

to give up on your dream in order to protect this relationship.

I understand.

If you have this with you,

you'll start thinking about random things.

Did I give you unnecessary pressure?

I'll keep it for now.

Do your best in school.

All this time, Shuwei has his own freedom.

I have not restricted him to do the things that he wants to.

He's going to move his workshop to Japan because of you.

And you claim that he has his own freedom?

Did he tell you that?

That's what he said when he rejected me.

The meteor shower belongs to everyone.

These fireworks belong to both of us.

And this

belongs to you.

Hello.

Bei Erduo.

How can you be so selfish?

Because of you alone,

the whole workshop is in a mess.

Who are you?

I'm Huo Xiaotong, Gao Xianyin's girlfriend.

You better not tell me you don't know me.

I know you.

But I don't know what you're talking about.

Stop your pretense.

Did you cry and beg wanting to go to Japan?

Did you force Mr. Ye to go with you?

They even had to turn down

a big order from Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

They turned it down!

That's a deal which other people could only dream of.

Do you know that?

This is a huge loss for Xianyin and the workshop.

Just because you want to go to Japan, do you know how many people are affected?

Now Mr. Ye only cares about going to Japan with you.

He even tossed aside such an important order.

He doesn't even care about the workshop anymore.

Are you the only one with dreams?

And other people are supposed to be your stepping stones?

Hey. Hello?

Say something. Don't just keep quiet.

Listen, Huo Xiaotong.

None of what you said is going to happen.

That's all.

Two bottles of Lao Gan Ma.

Pickled mustard.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Five packets of hot pot paste.

Are five packets of paste enough?

Mom.

What are you packing for me?

I'm going to study. Not to be a refugee.

You're packing too much.

This is overweight.

It's not. Just leave them.

You know nothing.

This spicy stuff will help to improve your appetite.

You'll be able to eat more.

When you're abroad and you're missing home,

at least you have the taste from home.

See how clueless you are?

How can I not worry?

Take this too.

There's also the ham sausage.

Lots of ham sausages.

Where are they?

What's this?

Mom.

After I'm gone,

remember to take care of your health.

I will make video calls often.

Make sure you answer it.

I will.

When you get there, call me right after you get off the plane.

Don't be so thrifty when you're there.

Buy and eat what you want.

If something bad happens, you must call home and tell me.

My phone is never switched off.

If you miss home,

come home and I'll have all your favorite dishes waiting.

Let it be.

Okay, hurry up and pack your things.

Go to bed early once you're done.

Okay.

By the way, is Ye fetching you tomorrow?

He'll be here to take me to the airport.

Good.

Wait, no.

What happens to his car when both of you fly off?

Gosh, Mom.

You're always worrying needlessly.

Tomorrow, we will go to the airport.

He'll leave his car at the carpark.

Someone from his workshop will go and get it, okay?

That's good.

I shouldn't be worried.

Ye is meticulous in everything he does.

I would worry so much more if he isn't going with you.

Whose side are you on?

What do you think?

Eat proper meals over there.

Don't skip meals. Eat whatever you want.

Buy whatever you want.

Slowly.

Do you need any help?

No, ma'am. I can do it.

It's so heavy.

Don't overwork yourself in Japan.

Take care of your health.

I will, Mom. Don't worry.

I'm so glad you're going to Japan with her.

You know, Erduo can be very headstrong.

Please take good care of her and don't let her get hurt.

Don't worry, ma'am.

I will take good care of Erduo.

I won't let anything happen to her.

Thanks, I believe you.

And you.

Remember to always talk things over with him.

Don't be so headstrong.

Okay, you should go.

Go on.

Go.

Go now.

Let's go.

Go on.

Get in the car.

-Bye, ma'am. -Bye.

Remember to call me once you get off the flight.

Text me whenever you're free.

Or make video calls.

My phone is always turned on for you.

Don't cry.

Don't cry. This is something to be happy about.

Don't cry.

Mom, take care of yourself.

-Answer my calls, okay? -I will.

Don't cry.

I'm going to cry too if you cry. Don't cry.

Mom.

Call me once you get there.

Mom!

Call me once you get there!

Don't be reluctant to spend money on your meals!

I have a gift for you.

Give me your bag.

There.

I made it.

It will bring you good luck.

No more crying.

Silly girl.

Now Mr. Ye only cares about going to Japan with you.

He even tossed aside such an important order.

Do you know how many people are affected?

None of what you said is going to happen.

Shuwei, I want to drink coconut milk.

Coconut milk?

Okay.

I'll look for it.

THREE MONTHS LATER

Erduo, thanks for helping out.

Mei Zuo won't be here for the next two days.

It's okay. I have no classes these two days anyway.

I see.

How have you been lately?

Not too bad.

-Is everything all right? -I went to the market today.

The price of salmon went up again.

Really? Have you found yourself a boyfriend?

What boyfriend? No such thing.

Why? Am I not welcomed?

No.

Take a seat.

Is everything going well with the workshop?

Yes.

The order for the orchestra is getting done soon.

We can decide on the merger soon.

Good to know that.

Shuwei, thank you.

You took care of the workshop's emergency.

You're welcome.

Congratulations to you.

You have successfully completed your tour.

It must be tough.

Not at all.

This is where my passion lies.

Aside from completing my tour, I came back to China

so I could check on your workshop.

I'll be going to Vienna soon,

together with my dad.

By the way,

there's this.

I want to return it to you.

It's very good.

But...

It doesn't suit me.

Basil beef.

Eggplant side dish.

Sweet carrots.

Please enjoy your food.

Thanks.

What time do you get off work?

The restaurant closes at ten.

I see, thank you.

-Please enjoy your food. -Thanks.

Excuse me.

-Hi. -Hello.

Can I take a rest here?

Sure, no problem.

Thanks.

Please.

You're welcome.

Please enjoy your food.

You must be mistaken.

I didn't order anything.

You're the restaurant's 100th guest today.

This is complimentary.

I see, sorry about that.

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

Why are you still here?

I'm waiting for you.

For me?

This Saturday night.

I'm performing at a bar.

I hope you can come if you're free.

Sorry, I have classes on Saturday.

It's okay. Maybe next time.

See you then.

Erduo.

I apologize if I'm being rude.

I would like to ask,

if you're living in Japan by yourself?

I have a boyfriend.

A violinist?

A violin maker.

Why isn't your boyfriend

here with you in Japan?

Did something happen between you two?

Actually, we love each other very much.

But I didn't want him to give up on his dream

just because I want to pursue my own.

You are my dream.

Why are you here?

You and I,

we were never apart.
