Love Scenery

Adapted from Qiao Yao's novel

"It's Easy To Dodge a Gun, But Hard To Prevent a Crush"

Episode 21

Lu Jing.

You're here.

You're early.

I rushed back knowing that you would be here.

Don't forget about me.

What's going on with you two?

Taro.

Are you done cooking?

Liang Chen has been starving all day.

Go on.

Get cooking.

This is my house. I'm not your chef.

What were you two talking about?

Jia Yun's birthday is in two days.

Taro and I were discussing what to give him.

When is his birthday?

It's on the 24th of December.

That's Christmas Eve.

What a coincidence.

Christmas Eve? I forgot about that.

It'll be the first festival

we celebrate as a couple.

But I shouldn't skip Jia Yun's birthday celebration.

I've promised him.

It's okay. Let me choose the present.

Don't you mind?

We should buy him a present.

Here.

Look at this.

How about this?

That's not suitable.

Let's browse some more.

How about a necktie?

I'm sure he has many ties.

How about cufflinks?

Not good.

What should we get him?

How about this?

A little tortoise. It has good connotations.

It symbolises health and prosperity.

You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

It's quite nice. Look, it's so cute.

Scrap that.

How about this?

I think it's fine.

What are you doing?

What is going on?

Can't you tell?

Any hints?

Is it obvious enough?

My goodness.

Am I seeing things?

You two are holding hands!

You're not seeing things. It's exactly what you think it is.

Don't you have any questions for us?

What should I ask?

You could ask how happy we are.

Taro.

Go and be happy outside.

What should we do?

Do you want to watch a movie?

Sure, it's been a while since I've watched a movie.

I happen to have a cap in my car.

Let's go watch a movie.

Give it to me!

-No way. -Give it to me!

No way!

I'm a little nervous with all these people around us.

You're so cute.

What?

Nothing.

The movie has started. Pay attention.

Why don't I dance for you?

Do you like it?

Yes.

Stop crying, okay?

Okay, I'll stop crying.

Is it funny?

Liu Mao Yan is so cute.

I'm cute too.

Who's complimenting you?

Didn't you say that I look like Liu Mao Yan?

When you compliment him, you compliment me.

I'm not complimenting you.

Hello.

Shan Shan.

Can you please persuade Liang Chen

to choose my song?

Ms Ma.

What happened to Liang Chen?

Ms Ma, see what I brought?

Ms Ma, stop ordering takeout.

It's bad for your health.

Here, try the home-cooked meal I made for you.

It looks much more appetising than takeout.

Not only am I angel in person,

I'm also a devil in the kitchen.

Look, the colour is so nice.

Enjoy the food.

You said you wanted to talk about Liang Chen.

What happened to her?

Eat up.

I'll tell you while you eat.

It's a long story.

Then make it short.

Liang Chen is in love.

The love birds are so in love.

I can't take it anymore.

I skipped dinner because I was so mad at them.

Then, I came to your place.

Is it Jia Yun?

Jia Yun is not Liang Chen's type.

You know Liang Chen so well, Ms Ma.

It must be because you were her classmate.

Ms Ma, actually...

I've been single for a long time.

Ms Ma.

Be honest to me.

What do you think of my appearance?

-You're quite... -Quite good looking, right?

What are you trying to say?

Look, Ms Ma.

I'm quite good looking.

I can cook.

I have a successful career.

More importantly,

I'm single.

I'm a rare gift.

Ms Ma.

Don't you have

any special feelings for me?

Are you done?

If you're done, please leave.

I...

Please.

Eat more.

If you think that the dishes...

Liu Mao Yan is quite handsome.

I met him once at an event.

He held my skirt and helped me step down the stage.

I didn't know he was such a good actor, too.

Do you think...

Are you unhappy?

You didn't enjoy the movie?

I'm not happy.

You complimented another man's looks.

You're good looking too.

He held your skirt and helped you step down the stage.

But

it's your hand I'm holding right now.

Are you happier now?

I'm happier now.

But I'm still a little sore.

Every other couple will be spending time together on Christmas Eve,

but I'll be celebrating alone.

It'll be so lonely.

On that day,

I'll leave the party early.

Don't force yourself.

It's your friend's birthday party.

How can you leave early?

Fine.

I'll pick you up.

Let me know when you're done.

You don't have to change your schedule because of me.

No matter how late it will be, I don't mind waiting for you.

Sleep early. Good night.

Jia Yun.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Here's my present for you.

Do you like it?

I like it.

I'm glad that you came.

You don't have to bring a present.

Where are Taro and the gang?

Take a seat.

Sure.

Are you hungry? Let's eat first.

Taro and the others are not here yet.

We shouldn't start without them.

Let's eat while waiting for them.

Waiter.

Are you going on a date?

Of course I have to be with my girlfriend on Christmas Eve.

Are you serious?

He Ye and Liu'er went out early in the morning.

God knows when those two fools got girlfriends.

Now, even you're heading out.

This is why you don't have a girlfriend.

Lu Jing.

You're heartless.

Do you know that in order to give you a surprise,

I almost got into a fight with the Student Council?

Surprise?

What surprise?

It's...

Just wait for it.

Fine, go meet with your girlfriend.

Where did he get a girlfriend?

I don't get it.

Why do all of them have girlfriends?

Am I not handsome?

Sun Bin Yu

What's up?

What else?

It's Christmas Eve.

Of course I have to

discuss something meaningful with you.

For example, how did you win Liang Chen's heart?

Do you have any techniques

you can share with me?

Lu Jing!

Have a heart, will you?

I'm sincerely asking for guidance here.

Aren't you at Ding Jia Yun's birthday party?

Why are you so free?

I didn't go to the party.

Don't you know that the party was cancelled at the last minute?

We're almost done eating, but Taro is not even here yet.

He's not punctual at all.

Let's have some cake.

I don't think they will come.

Please enjoy.

Thank you.

Let me cut the cake for you.

What's wrong? Is it not tasty?

No, it's because

I'm on diet.

That's why I can't eat too much.

It's okay. The cake is custom ordered.

It's low sugar. It's not fattening.

Luckily you came today.

Otherwise,

I'll have to celebrate alone.

The view here is not bad.

It's quite beautiful.

It reminds me of a phrase.

Be it the moon or its reflection, it's far beyond reach.

The person in front of me is the person I desire.

Liang Chen.

I have something to tell you.

Actually, I've known you for a long time.

It's longer than you think.

I've been observing you in secret.

When I saw you working hard to pursue a career in music,

I had a strong urge to approach you.

But I was worried that if I go too close to you,

I may lose you.

I want to tell you something that I've been keeping inside my heart.

Liang Chen, I love you.

Jia Yun.

I'm grateful for your love.

However,

I'm already in love with someone else.

I respect your choice.

You're here.

I'm here to pick you up.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Look down there.

The company is huge.

Yes. In the future...

Jia Yun.

Let me introduce someone to you.

She's the singer we've just signed. Her name is Liang Chen.

He's Jia Yun.

Hello, Jia Yun.

Please take care of her.

You're too polite.

-Hello. -Hello.

Congratulations. You've finally moved into a new place.

Ding, let me introduce someone to you.

This is my friend, Liang Chen.

Hello.

Orange, let me introduce someone to you.

This is my good pal, Ding Jia Yun.

We know each other.

Hello.

We're friends. You don't have to be so polite.

What a coincidence.

Take a seat.

-Do you want any drinks? -Let me help you.

We didn't break up back then, but now we've broken up.

Liang Chen.

Although

we couldn't have dinner together,

I want to be the first person to give you an apple.

So, despite the cold weather,

you came to pick me up ahead of time

because of this?

Thank you.

Where do you want to go?

I just want to take a stroll

together with you.

Sure.

♫ Jingle bells, jingle bells ♫

♫ Jingle all the way ♫

♫ Oh what fun it is to ride ♫

♫ In a one horse open sleigh ♫

♫ Jingle bells, jingle bells ♫ ♫ Jingle all the way ♫

♫ Oh what fun it is to ride ♫ ♫ In a one horse open sleigh ♫

I wish

I can sing my favourite song just like him.

Come with me.

Hello.

How can I help you?

My girlfriend would like to sing a song.

Can we borrow your guitar?

Sure.

Thank you.

♫ The chosen path is a one-way street ♫

♫ Disregard the hearsay ♫

♫ The journey may be more bumpy than beautiful ♫

♫ Oh ♫

♫ Even if I turn into ashes, it's alright ♫

♫ I pursue my dream on the stage ♫

♫ The glory on my back reflecting my hopes ♫

♫ Oh ♫

♫ Woo ♫

Her singing was so beautiful!

Don't you think her voice is familiar?

Is it?

Liang Chen! Doesn't she look like Liang Chen?

Are you serious?

Liang Chen!

♫ Jingle bells, jingle bells ♫

♫ Jingle all the way ♫

♫ Oh what fun it is to ride ♫

♫ In a one horse open sleigh ♫

♫ Jingle bells, jingle bells ♫

♫ Jingle all the way ♫

Look, Thousand Years Box Spirit is singing.

Is it nice?

How do you make it sing?

I gave it a mechanical heart.

Your singing

is awful,

but I really like the present.

Thank you.

Can you thank me in a different way?

How?

♫ Jingle bells, jingle bells ♫

♫ Jingle all the way ♫

♫ Oh what fun it is to ride ♫

♫ In a one horse open sleigh ♫

♫ Jingle bells, jingle bells ♫

♫ Jingle all the way ♫

♫ Oh what fun it is to ride ♫

-This plush toy... -♫ In a one horse open sleigh ♫

Ms Liang, whose singing is that?

He's literally tone-deaf.

His singing is awful.

I think it's quite nice.

It's nice.

Ms Liang.

You haven't even chosen the first song for the competition.

Listening to this kind of voice

will affect your judgment.

Pull yourself together.

Don't worry, I've found the song.

"The Journey of Music Lovers" participant's info: Unti

The youngest contestant in the competition is Unti.

She's one of the trainees selected by the show.

She has her own fan base, and she's good at singing and dancing.

Tong Shi Qin and Li Sha need no introduction.

They're the evergreen singers of the industry.

Yes, during the rehearsal,

they didn't perform at their best levels.

You're up against some fierce competition.

They're really good at singing.

You have to perform at your best level.

Liang Chen.

I've just listened to your improvised version of "Unstoppable".

Although it's risky,

rock and roll

is what we lack at the moment.

It's quite fresh.

It's worth a try.

Sure.

You should communicate with the producer with regards to improvisation.

I'll tell him to work with you.

Thank you, Director Ma.

Thank you, Director Ma.

-Goodbye. -Thank you for your help.

Ms Liang.

The crew has announced your choice of song.

The reviews on the internet are making me so angry.

Let me see.

Chen Chen, see for yourself.

I'm looking at it.

The rock and roll version of Unstoppable.

Liang Chen, please take it seriously.

Liang Chen is such a girl-next-door.

No one thinks highly of me.

Your fans are calling you a girl-next-door.

You're competing

in a show full of talented singers,

and changing your style to rock and roll?

Oh no.

My liver hurts.

That's enough. Drop the act.

Think on the bright side.

The reviews can't get any worse.

If I perform as usual,

they'll be pleasantly surprised.

You're so optimistic.

But honestly,

Ms Liang, why did you choose this song?

You've sung this song so many times.

And it never worked out for you.

Now,

I just want to sing what I want to sing.

Look at this, it's so funny.

Who did it?

Yeah. It's brilliant.

Congratulations on escaping 23 years of singlehood, Lu Jing.

There he is.

What are you looking at? Why are you so laughing so happily?

Ms Liang.

Nanze University is indeed full of talented students.

I wonder who did this.

To celebrate his departure from singledom,

a fourth year student has put up a huge banner.

I almost died laughing.

It's my idea.

I put up the banner.

Hello, my name is He Ye.

I typed the words on the banner.

It says "Congratulations on escaping singlehood, Lu Jing".

That's so funny.

It's true.

Lu Jing is popular in the school.

Here is his photo.

Everyone is expressing jealousy for the girlfriend

in the comment section.

Hold on, this guy...

He's your junior!

Ms Liang.

Please don't tell me

his girlfriend

is you?

Hello, Taro.

Hello, Orange.

I saw the banner.

What's going on?

You've made quite a splash.

Should I celebrate your union

with some fireworks?

I just saw it.

Can't youngsters

be a little more discreet about their relationships?

I'm busy. That's all for now.

Are you trying to brush me off?

I'm not done talking.

What else do you want to say? Hurry up.

I'm a little hard up lately.

Can I have a million yuan?

Bye.

Don't do that. I'm just kidding.

As the matchmaker who brought you two together,

is a meal too much to ask for?

Sure, I'll buy you a meal, okay?

-Bye. -Wait.

When are you going to buy me the meal?

You can't just pay lip service.

I'll buy you a meal tonight, okay?

Bye.

Ms Qing.

There's something I need to tell you.

Say it.

I'm in a relationship.

Is it the young man on the banner?

Your junior?

That's so cool.

As expected of you, Ms Liang.

Ms Qing, will I get into trouble

due to the trending post?
