Love Scenery

Episode 22

Ms Qing.

I need to tell you something.

Go ahead.

I'm in a relationship.

With that young guy on the banner?

Your junior.

Impressive.

You're indeed amazing, Ms Liang.

Ms Qing.

Would this trending topic

be a problem?

Show me.

Absurd Campus Anecdote.

For now,

you two should be fine.

But I must remind you.

What is it?

When are you going to officially introduce him to us?

You gave me a real scare.

Thanks.

Jing.

Please forgive us.

We only wanted to

uphold your dignity in front of Gu Fei Ming.

Look at that fellow.

It was like a carnival when he's in a relationship.

But you?

That's right.

If we hadn't put you on that banner,

you'd have lost out.

Jing.

This time it's no doubt our fault.

But just think about it.

Gu Fei Ming is always showing off in front of you.

We really can't stand it.

Hence,

please consider our good intentions.

Forgive us, will you?

Forgive you?

Unless my girlfriend agrees.

What girlfriend?

You...you're lying to us too?

Stop it, you guys. He's still hurt.

Hello?

Did you see what happened on the Internet?

Your room-mates are really cute.

I'm sorry.

This must have troubled you.

I'm fine.

The trending topic has nothing to do with me.

Oh, right.

After Sun Bin Yu knew about us,

he insisted that we treat him to dinner.

When?

Tonight.

I'll head there now.

Are you done with this nonsense?

Yes, yes. We are so done.

Jing, don't be mad anymore.

It doesn't look good on you.

Your girlfriend won't like it.

Do you think I'm all about my looks?

Obviously.

No, no. You're not.

Fine. I'm letting you off this time.

Jing, you're really like an angel.

No, not like an angel.

You are an angel.

Jing, you need to head out now.

Don't keep your girlfriend waiting.

Go now. Quick.

Oh, it's you.

Come in.

What's with that tone

and the long face?

Orange.

I'm getting a feeling that you dislike me.

What is it?

You regret inviting me over?

Stop overreacting.

Look at that mess.

It doesn't look like you're having people over.

Lu Jing is not here yet.

Lu Jing?

Friendship takes the backseat now.

Fine. I'll forgive you this time.

Since he's not here yet,

let's kill time

with something fun.

What do you suggest?

Let's go down memory lane.

Take out your classmate records from university

and graduation photos.

We can look through them.

This is what you are here for?

Alright. I admit I came today

because I wanted to

know a little more about Ms Ma.

Orange, we're close friends, right?

Don't you want to help

your best friend?

Orange.

Please, Orange.

Last Christmas eve,

I waited in front of her house the whole night.

She didn't come out to see me at all.

I should at least know the reason.

In that case,

we'll just look at the photos.

Strictly no questions, alright?

What's wrong with you?

You invited me over for take-out?

Yes.

Forget it. I'm not eating with you two.

I'm going home.

What happened to him?

He wanted to ask about Shan Shan

and got mad after looking at the photos.

What photos got him so mad?

That kid is just a wannabe.

Maybe he has aged badly.

187 centimetres?

Impossible.

That's even taller than what I usually write.

You thick face.

Face? That face...

Fine, fine. He wins.

Wait a minute.

Ms Ma is not superficial.

She definitely likes a talented

and sophisticated man like me.

If that's the case,

I think I won.

Sir, you really don't want to order some grilled meat?

Don't you see these?

I can't finish them all.

I'm not ordering food.

Ms Liang.

At your age now, you should take the advice given.

Why insist on doing a rock song?

Are you trying to turn this

into your farewell show?

Well.

You've worked so hard to get on stage.

You should appreciate the opportunity.

Focus on your singing.

Are you nervous?

No. Why should I?

But I am.

It's just a small matter.

You've surely been around to be as cool as a cucumber.

Truly my idol.

I'm feeling nervous.

This is the first time I see Orange do a rock song.

Relax. It's just a small matter.

It's about time to draw lots.

Hope it goes well

so you can perform later.

Don't be the first to go.

What's so bad about going first?

You tend to get more nervous.

Even if you've done your best,

you might not

leave a strong impression.

But if you go later,

you'll have time to observe other singers

and give audience the strongest possible impression.

That's true.

Challengers, please come to the studio.

Don't be nervous.

Break a leg, Ms Liang.

Hello, everybody.

Welcome to the fourth season of

The Journey of Music Lovers.

Welcome, everyone.

Thank you for your great energy.

Let me tell you.

The format this season is different.

We have two challengers today

so the competition is very fierce.

This first challenger

to come on stage

is an incredible singer.

She's the queen of reinvention.

Five times best female singer

of Top Chinese Music.

Ladies and gentlemen, Meng Lan Zhi.

Welcome, Lan Zhi.

Alright. The second challenger to join us

is also equally phenomenal.

Not long ago, she won

the Best Female Artiste and Artiste of the Year

in the Golden Cicada Awards.

I'm sure

you already know who she is.

Ladies and gentlemen. Liang Chen is here.

Welcome, Liang Chen.

-Liang Chen. -Liang Chen.

Orange takes off to the sky!

We are with you all the way!

Why are you shouting?

You think she can hear you?

Where did your chill go?

Sit down. Sit down.

Quick.

We now invite the challengers to pick an envelope

to decide who will go first.

But, according to our program rules,

current contenders have finished drawing lots.

We're now left with number one and number seven.

You can now pick an envelope.

You're hurting me. Let go.

She's just picking lots. Why are you so anxious?

It will be a disadvantage

if Liang Chen goes first.

Now we ask both challengers

to announce the number they picked.

Wait.

Ms Liang.

Can we change envelopes?

My heart is about to burst.

I can't even hold the microphone steadily.

Change the order?

This has never happened in our show.

Let's check if the Director Team agrees.

Alright. The Director Team agrees.

Now we have to check with

Liang Chen. Do you agree to change?

Yes, why not.

Whether going first

or last,

it's all the same to me.

Thanks, Ms Liang.

Alright. We invite the challengers

to announce their number.

I ended up with number one

though I was supposed to go last...

But never mind.

The world is always unpredictable.

In the next segment,

let's look forward

to the amazing performances from the two challengers.

That was nerve-wracking.

My Orange has luck on her side.

Your Orange?

She's mine.

Fine. Whatever.

Unbelievable.

What a narrow mind for a grown man.

Green monster.

Shameful.

Stage Design Team, look again.

Is your backdrop secure?

Make no mistake.

Check the lighting.

Yes, show me the lights.

Alright, I got it.

Calm your mind.

You have put in 200 percent for this.

Don't let the nerve beat you.

Good luck. I have faith in you.

Good luck, Ms Liang.

Ms Liang.

Good luck.

Guo, are we done for today?

Yes, the director has called it a wrap.

Next up is Liang Chen.

I trust many of you share our sentiment.

Liang Chen and rock music.

Say what? But today, Liang Chen is...

Orange has really got big guts.

She's really going to do a rock song?

Has she no fear of failure?

Taro.

We are with you all the way!

-Liang Chen! -Liang Chen!

Ms Liang.

That was nerve-racking.

I was way more tensed than my first time on stage.

Ms Liang, that performance was awesome.

The audience was stunned.

Stop it.

Alright. Let's sit.

But I must say. That guitar solo was really something.

You're so cool.

Ms Qing, can I have my phone?

Here you go.

You can't part with it for too long.

Hello?

Hello? Lu Jing.

How did I do just now?

Perfect all the way.

Really?

I was? Alright.

The most nerve-racking moment has come.

Tonight,

between Liang Chen and Meng Lan Zhi,

who will stay and who will go?

Please look at the screen.

-Liang Chen. -Lan Zhi.

-She won. -She won!

Liang Chen won.

-She won. -She won.

She won!

Congratulations, Liang Chen.

Sadly, tonight,

the singer we have to bid farewell

is Meng Lan Zhi.

You put up a good fight.

You performed well tonight.

I know you're better than me

but I will beat you one day.

Keep up the fight.

Life is full of ups and downs.

But there will be no success

without failure.

I'll continue to work hard.

I hope you'll continue to support me.

Will you?

We will.

Thank you, everyone.

I love you.

Let's thank Meng Lan Zhi again

for the great performance today.

Please give a big hand to Meng Lan Zhi.

-Keep fighting, Lan Zhi. -Keep fighting.

All the best.

All the best.

We want to congratulate Liang Chen

for advancing to the next round.

The Journey of Music Lovers welcomes you.

Thank you.

-Liang Chen. -Liang Chen.

A big hand to Liang Chen.

-Liang Chen. -Liang Chen.

Amazing.

Epic.

I knew she can do it.

She didn't let us down.

Do you think we should

throw her a celebration party?

Of course. It's on me.

Good.

It's on you.

Ms Liang.

You're on the top trending topic now.

Everything is about you and The Journey.

The most underestimated rock singer in history.

Liang Chen's massive music makeover. She is unstoppable.

Liang Chen rocks. Liang Chen is so cool.

I want to see it.

Liang Chen.

Director Ma.

Your performance was spectacular.

The response was incredible.

I can't wait

to see your next performance.

Thanks, Director Ma. I'll continue to work hard.

Good luck.

Director Ma. I am really curious though.

Why did you agree to let me

do a rock song?

Everyone was against it at that time.

Actually, I saw a video

of you doing a rock song in university.

How did you get that video?

My niece sent it to me.

Ma Shan Shan. You should know her.

I see.

Get yourself ready for the next show.

See you next week.

Oh, right.

About Shan Shan,

I need a favour from you.

Please go ahead.

All these years,

Shan Shan's temperament has changed.

You were her classmate.

If possible,

please talk to her.

Don't worry. I will.

Good morning. Time for breakfast.

Can I come in?

Yes, please.

What brings you here out of the blue?

I want to personally invite you for dinner.

Taro's place. Let's go.

Can I not go?

You can't say no.

It's my celebration party.

How can you miss it?

Finish your breakfast.

We need to go after this.

Alright.

Eat with me.

I've eaten.

Typical female celebrity.

Ms Ma, you are here.

Come in.

Come.

Have some peanuts.

Ms Ma.

Orange juice, coke, lemon tea.

Chips, cookies, pistachios.

What do you want?

It feels like spring outing in here.

I'm just worried Ms Ma will be bored.

Stop talking.

Let's watch television.

Look. What a constructive suggestion.

Ms Ma, what do you want to watch?

Movie?

Drama, romantic, art film

or...

Rerun of yesterday's competition.

Look. What a constructive suggestion.

You managed to invite Ms Ma over.

I'll let you off today.

Ms Ma.

Please make yourself comfortable.

I'll make you something nice to eat.

Ding, where are you?

Why aren't you here yet?

Are you planning to let me do all the cooking?

You're here.

Jia Yun.

Your show was a success yesterday.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Come in.

Long time no see, Jia Yun.

It's so rare to see you these days.

You are...

I'm...

He's my boyfriend, Lu Jing.

Hello, Ms Ma.

I'm Lu Jing.

Hello.

Chef Ding, you're finally here.

The kitchen is waiting for you.

Come, come.

Very professional.

Taro, do you have a colander?

You know how to wash vegetables?

If you're not doing anything,

can you not stand in the way?

What? It's my kitchen.

Why can't I stay here?

Shan Shan.

Thanks for showing Director Ma my old video.

It happened by chance.

Do you want to come watch my performance live?

No worries. I'll reserve the tickets.

Just come when you can.

Taro, I need sesame for the braised fish.

Go buy me some.

Sesame in braised fish?

You can take over. I'll go instead.

No, no. Alright, fine.

I'll go.

Wash those vegetables properly.

What's wrong? Are you going out?

It's all for the perfection

of Chef Ding's culinary masterpiece.

Don't start eating before I'm back.

Just go.

It's you I'm talking to.

Ms Ma is nothing like you.

I'm going now, Ms Ma.

See you later.

If you cook in future,

don't use parsley.

She doesn't like it.

Don't make the food too spicy.

It's not good for her throat.

Thanks.

Don't worry. I'll take good care of her.

Good.

Coming.

Hello, grandma.

Hello, Sun. Come in.

Hello, grandpa.

It's you.

You're reading?

Grandma, do you have white sesame?

I need to borrow some.

Yes, I have. Wait here. I'll get it for you.

Great.

Sun.

Is Jing at your place again?

Yes, he is.

He always troubles you.

No, it's fine.

I happen to be free today

so I invited some friends over.

-Is that so? -Here you go, Sun.

-Thanks, grandma. -You're welcome.

Oh, right.

Your granddaughter-in-law is at my place.

What? What did you say?

Granddaughter-in-law.

The wife of your grandson.

She's at my place for dinner.

Really?

You're not kidding me?

No, I'm not.

Didn't Lu Jing tell you?

He told us he has a girlfriend

but we thought he was joking.

What?

It's for real this time.

That boy...

He finally came to his senses.

I've been worried about him for so long.

Everybody already has a girlfriend.

But that boy

is just a nerd.

All he does is studying and reading.

This is good news.

He has a girlfriend now.

Yes, yes.

I need to get back to my friends now.

Alright, go on.

Alright. Bye, grandpa.

-Bye, grandma. -Bye.

-Bye. -Alright, bye.

Old man, our grandson has a girlfriend.

Did you hear that?

What's the use of hearing about it?

Go change. We'll go have a look.

Right. Let's go.
