The Starry Night, the Starry Sea

- Episode 20 -

What is it?

Did Michelle bully you?

She must have! That Michelle is being too much!

She dares to bully our Xiao Luo?

I'll go teach her a lesson!

Jiang Yisheng!

Michelle has brain cancer. It's already at the terminal stage.

The doctor has given me a death sentence,

but I know that you have a way to save me.

Who told you that I can save you?

Don't forget. My ancestor is Bai Yihan. Of course, I know your secret.

I also know that a hundred and fifty years ago, Bai Yihan saved your life.

And you also made a promise to her.

Thank you for saving me.

How are you going to repay me?

From today on, my life belongs to you.

As long as you are willing, you can take it at any time.

It's a shame, she died before that promise.

And I am her only descendant. I think that it's time for you to keep your promise now.

Wu Julan, I don't want to die. I want to live on.

What? Michelle needs you to save her from her brain cancer?

Even if you once made a promise to Bai Yihan,

it was a hundred and fifty years ago!

Even if it was a hundred and fifty years ago,

I still remember that promise.

Are you really intending to keep it?

Don't you know what price you'd have to pay to keep that promise?

The only way to save Michelle now is to use the spiritual pearl!

Liangliang, if it was you, what would you do?

On the one side is the one you love.

On the other is the one you made a promise to. You can't forsake either.

I'm sorry. Regulus, I don't know how to choose.

Enough, Xiao Luo, don't be too sad.

It's not a big deal if you think about it in detail.

It's better if I don't think about it!

The more I think about it, the sadder I am!

Terminal stage brain cancer...

She doesn't have many days left.

We can let her have Wu Julan first!

After she's gone, you can be together with Wu Julan!

Jiang Yisheng! Are you human?

I just wanted to comfort you!

If I were Wu Julan, I'd choose Michelle, too!

She's so pitiful and has a terminal illness, too!

You still pity her? You're very pitiful, too.

You're already twenty-five years old.

You finally got your first boyfriend.

You haven't even kissed him and you got him stolen away.

Jiang Yisheng! Did you come to comfort me or not?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

I'm too frank, I'm sorry!

God! Did you come to bully me?

Say, that Michelle,

she got sick just in time!

Wu Julan, did you know?

This scene has appeared in my dreams many times before.

You and I, side by side, strolling along the seaside just like this,

watching the tides ebb and flow, and listening to the gulls' bursts of crying.

I never imagined that it'd actually come true one day.

A hundred and fifty years ago, you couldn't be with Bai Yihan.

Now, you've met her descendant.

The heavens had it all set up before.

I have a terminal illness, but I was able to find you.

You can heal my illness and can even heal my soul.

Perhaps this is fate.

What's wrong?

It's nothing. This is just the way my illness is.

The doctor said that at the end, headaches and fainting will become more common.

I'll take you back.

Wu Julan!

So you were here?

Xiao Luo is urgently looking for you! Hurry and go back!

Hurry and go!

I'll help her back! Don't worry!

What's that calling for? The island's number one good-looker is offering to support you, so you should be secretly elated, right?

Xiao Luo, what's wrong?

Huh?

Jiang Yisheng said you were urgently looking for me.

I'm urgently looking for you?

That Jiang Yisheng! He sent a fake message again!

Is Michelle okay?

Actually, I know.

When I went to take some congee to Michelle,

I heard what you two said.

She doesn't have much time left.

Subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

I know you've been very sad lately.

Wu Julan, I'm okay!

I'm young and pretty! With a good personality and high intelligence!

As long as I say something,

the line to pursue me would go all the way to Mars!

Without you, I will definitely find a rich handsome man!

I still have something to do. I'll head out first.

Xiao Luo! Xiao Luo!

You're crying? Who bullied you?

It was Wu Julan, right?

Say something!

Go slowly, don't fall.

Don't avoid me!

When Wu Julan was helping you walk,

I saw that you were like some clinging mud slung all over his body.

You're all energetic now that I'm helping you!

What's it to you?

This isn't the way back.

Who told you this is the way back? This is the way to the hospital.

Your illness is so serious but you still haven't gone to the hospital. Do you really want to die?

Even a large hospital in New York couldn't do anything about my illness.

Your small island hospital wants to cure me?

You're looking down on us?

Let me tell you! Even if I can't cure you,

I can at least lengthen your life by a few days. Don't you want that?

I know what to do about my illness. There's no need for you to waste your time worrying over it.

She refuses to go to the hospital? It'd be hard for me to not suspect you!

Do you still remember?

When we were kids, you would want to eat cotton candy whenever you were sad. Here.

Xiao Luo, don't cry. Here, eat this.

Da Tou, we're not kids any more.

As an adult, I might not like what I liked as a kid.

No matter how the world changes, my heart for you won't change.

Let's not talk about this for now. Drink with me.

Give me a cup.

Start!

Don't drink so much!

It's good if I drink a lot. I won't think so much if I'm drunk.

It's because of Wu Julan, right?

Xiao Luo, I don't understand. If you're happy being together with him,

I can give you my blessings. But he treats you like this.

Why torture yourself?

I really don't understand why you can't leave Wu Julan.

What good is a monster like him?

He's not good. Besides his good looks, there's nothing else that's good about him.

He's poor and doesn't know how to talk right.

He never does things to make me happy.

He acts cold every day and often makes me worry.

But... But I am in love with him.

Then what about me?

We grew up together.

You clearly know what my heart thinks.

For these years, I've always loved you.

Xiao Luo, I worked hard to earn money in the big city

so I could come back to marry you and give you happiness!

Xiao Luo, are my actions incomparable to an ice mountain?

Da Tou, I understand your intentions.

But love is a feeling.

My heart is full of Wu Julan now.

Only I know that he is the warmest person in this world.

How much wine do I have to drink to forget you, Wu Julan?

Michelle, in a bit, as long as you'll come out, I'll hit you with this brick till you lose consciousness!

And then I'll take you to the hospital for a thorough examination!

I want to see if you're really sick or not!

This won't work. If I use a brick, wouldn't it be too cruel?

It'd be bad if I really seriously hurt her!

- Don't hit my face!- Is that so?

Spare me!

You're not allowed to hit my boyfriend!

What were you thinking, ambushing Michelle?

I just wanted to find a chance to take Michelle to the hospital!

I want to do a full body exam on her!

I want to see if she's really sick or not!

How about it? Isn't this plan of mine very resourceful?

This is you attaining a new level of silly!

Silly? I thought about it for a long time before coming up with this plan.

It hurts! Help me!

That won't work!

This works better! Hold on tight!

Hurry up!

Watch the step. Careful. Careful.

Xiao Luo!

- Xiao Luo!- Wu Julan, look what you've done to Xiao Luo.

Since you're willing to be with her, then you should appreciate her.

Why are you letting her suffer like this? Say something!

Why? Are you regretting it now?

Let me tell you! A person like you isn't worthy of obtaining Xiao Luo!

- I'm going to teach you a lesson today!- Wu Julan, run!

I'll block him! You stinky brat, you dare to bully Wu Julan!

I'll hit you! I'll hit you!

Hit you! Hit--!

You're not allowed to bully Wu Julan!

You're not allowed to bully Wu Julan!

I'll hit you! I'll hit you!

Hello?

Hello, Brother Tou?

It's me, Zhu Yiyang!

What is it?

Enough, enough, enough. Hurry and tell me how your work is going.

I'm working hard to investigate!

According to my research, Wu Liming and Zhou Haicha left the island many years ago.

Brother Tou, you don't know how hard it is to find someone right now!

This person whom you say you want to find,

it requires some bribing. As for finding the other person,

we still need to do some bribing. Every person you want to look into needs some bribing done.

It's not that easy--!

Brother Tou, you're so smart!

Talk less if you don't know how to talk.

Once you've taken the money, you've to work swiftly and efficiently.

Okay, I got it.

Let me say one more thing.

According to my meticulous and thorough observation,

Wu Julan and Shen Luo...

really are together! You have to work harder!

I already told you not to talk if you don't know how to!

There's a saying for that!

"As long as you brandish the hoe well,

sooner or later, you'll be able to excavate the corner of two walls."[A plan for a third party in a love tangle.]

It'll happen sooner or later! Work hard!

Get lost.

- What?- I said get lost!

I said something wrong?

Thank you, Brother Tou!

"Mermaids have a natural enemy, the Angel's Trumpet flower."

"When a mermaid consumes its poison, the body will be weak and powerless."

"If this poison isn't cured, they will die within a day."

Wu Julan, I made radish cake.

Try it.

Is this taste very familiar?

Our family's style of making radish cake

was passed down from Bai Yihan.

Actually, I don't mind if you treat me as Bai Yihan's replacement.

I was her descendant to start with.

I carry her bloodline in my body.

Perhaps it's because I am her descendant,

that I'm so infatuated with you.

Wu Julan, I just want to stay by your side this way.

I want to make radish cake for you for life.

I just came downstairs. I haven't slept enough yet, I'm going back to bed.

Xiao Luo!

Wu Julan!

Hello? Miss Michelle?

We are doctors from America's Constantine Hospital's oncology department.

Your parents are requesting us to come to the island to do a follow-up medical checkup on you.

How can my parents ask you to...?

They commissioned me.

Where are you? I'll be right there.

Success! Hurry and stick it on me!

Hurry, hurry! Not so hard!

Hello? Are you Miss Michelle? Sit down please.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm your parent's private doctor from Constantine Hospital.

My parents don't have any private doctors.

Why not?

Your parents are really worried about your illness. I was sent here to do a follow-up medical checkup on you.

My parents died a long time ago.

How were you requested to come here by them?

Dr. Jiang.

I just saw that you were unhappy from the severity of your illness,

so I wanted to play a joke on you to improve the mood!

You liar!

Gentlemen don't use their fists!

- Stop right there!- Don't use your fists!

Save me! Don't use your fists!

You can't use your fists! Save me!

Your physical ability doesn't seem like that of a terminal cancer patient.

Teach your boyfriend properly.

His resourcefulness is deficient, yet he's so shameless.

Who are you talking about?

You're going to let her run off like that?

Let me tell you! My sixth sense tells me that she's a fake!

I've already sent people to investigate Michelle's background in America.

There will be results very soon.

That's good, too. Investigate everything clearly!

I want to see how she's going to keep on with her facade!

Liangliang, you're amazing!

Shen Luo, forget Wu Julan!

You're giving up the forest for one tree!

If you still won't forget Wu Julan,

what do you expect the handsome men lining up all the way to Mars to do?

But I still can't forget Wu Julan!

I don't want those handsome men!

I only want Wu Julan! I only want Wu Julan!

You haven't eaten all day.

You drank last night, too. Get up and drink some congee.

A girl shouldn't drink wine outside. It's bad for your body.

I've already booked plane tickets back to New York for you.

It'll take off tomorrow afternoon at three.

What? You want me to leave?

Are you going to be so cruel to me?

I'm afraid you've misunderstood.

I've never had feelings for you.

I took care of you because of Yihan.

Even if you don't like me,

have you forgotten the promise you made to Bai Yihan?

I haven't forgotten.

I will have Wu Liangliang find the best doctor for you

and use the newest methods to save your life.

Even the best doctors can't save me!

The only one who can save me is you and your spiritual pearl!

I did make a promise to Yihan then, because she was a kind girl.

I believed that she would use my promise for good things instead of harming others.

Then, you've firmly decided not to save me?

I believe that Yihan would understand.

Since you've made up your mind, there's nothing I can say.

I will listen to your arrangements and leave this island.

But before I go, I want to personally cook a good-bye dinner for everyone.

Michelle, you're really going to leave?

Wu Liangliang contacted a top doctor for me in America.

Since my staying here is meaningless, I should go back.

Michelle, I lost, okay?

The most important thing for you to do now is to treat your illness.

I lost. No matter how hard I work,

Wu Julan's heart only has you in it.

But I've already prepared to give Wu Julan to you.

Who was it that said you don't know how to live if you don't have me?

You're becoming shy again, right?

Shen Luo, a lot of unhappy things happened between us.

I apologize. I'm sorry.

I've forgotten the past!

Come, come, come! Hurry and eat!

You have to eat properly and cure your illness!

Thank you for your care during this time.

You're welcome to visit me in America.

I hope I will still be alive then.

Medicine is so progressive these days! You will definitely be cured!

Right, Wu Julan?

Come, I'll drink to you.

- I hope that you'll be happy forever.- Okay!

A girl shouldn't drink so much wine.

Today is my goodbye dinner. I won't have any other chances to drink wine with you.

That's right! I must drink this wine!

Come! Come!

What's up with me today? I'm so sleepy already.

Michelle, thank you.

What are you thanking me for?

Thank you for being understanding and accepting us.

I'm not understanding at all, nor do I want to accept you two.

I just want to loosen my hold in order to grasp you tighter.

That's right. You should thank me.

There's no rush. You can thank me after you get your spiritual pearl back.

What do you mean?

You put something in the food?

On your wine glass, I put

a mixture of barrenwort and deadly nightshade.

On Shen Luo's wine glass, I smeared some sedatives.

Speak! Why did you have to do that?

Barrenwort is an aphrodisiac which will make you confused and delirious.

Deadly nightshare will cause a mermaid's nerves to be in a state of paralysis, and will make you lose your rationality.

Shen Luo is fast asleep right now. Hurry and get your spiritual pearl back.

Michelle, stop acting.

I couldn't find your medical records in any hospital in America.

You're not sick at all. You're a liar.

So what?

I knew long ago that something was off. Since the moment you got close to Wu Julan,

I felt that you had very deep ulterior motives.

Your goal is to get the spiritual pearl, right?

You're smart.

- Where is Wu Julan?- It's too late.

Talk! Where is Wu Julan?

It's too late!

Wu Julan has already been in Shen Luo's room for a long time.

By now, he should have gotten the spiritual pearl back.

Wu Julan! Wu Julan!

Don't do this! Wake up!

Wu Julan!

How could this be?

How can his willpower be able to overcome such a large dose of incapacitating drugs?

Are you satisfied now? You crazy woman!

Wu Julan!

Big brother! They brought in really fresh fish today!

I bought some just for you!

Go back first, I still have something to do.

Big Brother!

They're all excuses!

I want to see what's going on!

- Wu Julan! Wu Julan!- Wu Julan!

- Wu Julan! - Wu Julan!

- Wu Julan! - Wu Julan!

- Wu Julan!- Wu Julan!

Wu Julan! Wu Julan!

Wu Julan!

Wu Julan!

Wu Julan!

Besides barrenwort and deadly nightshade,

he was also hurt by a weapon covered in Angel's Trumpet.

Someone must have taken advantage of the situation to hurt Wu Julan.

It's because of your smart-aleck actions

that Wu Julan fell victim to this!

I've already given him an antidote, but he's too seriously injured.

I have no guarantee that I can heal him.

Don't you know you could get Wu Julan killed?

I didn't think things would become like this.

Buyan?

It's so late. Why are you still on the streets?

Hurry and go home! It's so windy, too!

What if you get sick? Hurry and put this on.

It'd be dangerous if you run into a bad person.

Why is such a familiar person also a bad person?

I swear! I'm definitely not a bad person!

I'm entirely good to you! I have no bad intentions!

No--!

You saw what happened today.

I really didn't think that this sort of love would exist in this world.

One that wouldn't be confused or wavered.

Even so strong as to be able to overcome the influence of a powerful dose of drugs.

Wu Julan would rather sacrifice himself than hurt Shen Luo.

You are actually so naive as to think that you can devise ways to make him take away the spiritual pearl inside Shen Luo's body?

Now that I think about it, my actions before were too stupid.

Actually, I could guess your identity even if you didn't say it.

That's my responsibility. It's yours, too. Isn't that so?

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I heard that you are a girl who acts on impulse.

But now, I think I can understand.

Why did you have to do that?

Huh? What did I do?

I didn't eat with you tonight?

Tomorrow! I'll treat you to seafood tomorrow.

I saw it all! You shot Wu Julan!

You followed me?

Brother, you're not like this. I know you well!

Tell me why--!

Don't talk.

No, why aren't you explaining at all?

When did you become like this?

- Why have you become so cold?- What have I become?

Don't ask!

I'll go tell Shen Luo if you don't tell me!

For a girl you love,

you will give up a thousand years of life. Is that really worth it?

Originally, I thought this sort of exchange was unfair.

But tonight, you made me believe that this is all worth it.

I'm sorry. I was too rash just now.

Did it hurt?

It's my fault.

Let me take a look.

You're right. An Zuo made me do that.

Because while doing business, I was manipulated by him and ended up owing him a huge debt.

I don't have any money.

If you don't have money, you could ask Daddy for it!

- I can't open my mouth to do that!- Why?

Because I'm a man!

Buyan, I can't look for your dad whenever I run into problems!

I don't want your father to look down on me, understand?

Buyan, I did all this for us!

For our future!

Buyan! Listen to me! An Zuo promised me!

After I do this, he won't have me do anything else!

The debt I owe him will all be wiped away!
