[Lover or Stranger Ep28]

Qianyi?

Qianyi?

Qianyi?

Don't turn around,

or we will both jump off this roof.

You saw Xinxin, right?

She admires you.

She is excellent, you are the only one who can teach her.

Qianyi,

we still have a lot that we can do.

Let's turn ourselves in.

Looking at this school,

I only see your hypocrisy.

For one brief moment,

I really wanted to push you off.

That way,

we will be even.

And I will have my closure.

Perhaps.

Did you see Qianyi?

I didn't.

Everyone's out there.

You can hide here.

Thank you.

You and Xiaodong

really do look identical.

You know Song Xiaodong?

She told me everything.

Sheng and I are the only two who know.

Qianyi, you hide here

to surprise Youze, right?

Yes, he has no idea that I will go on stage.

So, when the show is about to start,

will you actually play with me?

Is your hand okay?

Of course.

I made a promise, remember?

Then it's a deal.

I will try to find you a dress.

Wait.

What's wrong?

Don't tell anyone I'm here.

[Fusheng Inn]

Wrong again!

How can you make a living like this?

Why don't stay in the mountain for the rest of your life?

Continue!

Mom,

why don't you go to the hospital?

Silly girl,

you will be needing a lot of money.

You lied.

You said that you would

watch me play in the Musikverein.

Stop crying.

Mom.

You will become a violinist someday.

She won't be able to escape.

It's just a matter of time.

I'm worried that she may be planning something,

just like what she did at Color Gala.

If she really is,

then she would need assistance.

Ms. Sun, why don't you

just say my name?

This is Xu Chao, Qianyi's agent.

I know him.

I'm just concerned.

If it's not true, I apologise.

I admit,

I promised Qianyi last night

to tell everyone what Mr. Huo

has done recently.

Why are you here?

If I decide you help you,

I hope that you can protect Qianyi's dignity.

Also,

now that the stage is set,

let's just let Qianyi perform one last time,

okay?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'm here to see you.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I heard

that Qianyi is here?

They found her?

Not yet.

I feel bad for her.

Why does she have to do this?

The more capable one is,

the more fragile when he/she loses.

An injury like that

would break me.

Stop it.

Sure.

Now that I've seen the school,

I get it.

We really should do something

when we are still capable,

even if the method is not perfect.

So,

I won't be with you in Japan.

I found

this opportunity to help the rural areas

as a doctor.

I decided to sign up.

For how long?

Maybe a couple of years,

I'm not sure.

I really thought about it,

whether you would consider me as your boyfriend

if I go to Japan with you.

But, I realised,

if I make my life decisions

based on the fact

that I like you,

then, it would be just like

Huo Youze and Luo Qianyi.

I hope that we both can be ourselves,

with no regrets.

Sure.

Xinxin,

what is this?

If you help me,

I will tell you a secret, deal?

Got it.

Where is Xinxin?

Has anyone seen her?

No.

Let's save her a spot.

Now, follow me off the stage.

Mind the steps.

Remember, tonight's event is not a competition.

Just be yourselves.

I have faith in all of you.

Relax, we know what to do.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Now, go change.

Okay.

Youze.

Mr. Li.

I thought you weren't coming.

Sun Lei called and told me

that the event is at the school.

I supposed I really need to take a look.

Let me show you around.

Okay.

This way.

Ready?

You can come in.

You look amazing!

Where did you find this dress?

Xiaodong lent it to me.

Xiaodong?

Relax.

I didn't tell anyone that you are here.

Xinxin,

may I have a private conversation with her?

The event is about to start,

you should go get ready.

Qianyi, remember to look for me backstage.

Okay, let's go.

Nice.

Such a good idea to hold the event here.

Excellent idea.

This reminds me of my childhood.

I used to watch

open-air movies in my village.

Tonight's performance

is an opportunity for people

to see these kids' potential.

It has nothing to do

with Huo Youze and Luo Qianyi.

These kids are innocent.

They deserve our love and care.

Youze, are you hiding something?

Please, just enjoy the show,

you'll find out about that later.

I have some business to take care of,

if you would excuse me.

Thank you so much.

Xinxin, hurry.

Where have you been?

We've been waiting for you.

I'm so sorry.

I prepared something special.

I need your help.

Show this to everyone

on the day of the event.

I assume, you are here

to unveil the truth

in front of everyone, right?

True.

I will tell them

what Huo Youze has done to me.

I will show them his hypocrisy.

You taught Xinxin how to play,

right?

Don't you think

kids like Xinxin

make the entire school

meaningful?

But these kids

are not an excuse for Huo Youze.

He isn't trying to find one.

He already turned himself in.

Then why is he still here?

I'm confused.

Why are you helping him with all this?

Don't you hate him?

Honestly,

I'm not helping him.

I do this for those kids.

I'm here

only because you left.

I'm here to fill in your spot.

Fill in my spot?

I don't recall asking you to do that.

That's not the best way to describe this.

Actually,

I don't want to be Luo Qianyi.

I just want to be Song Xiaodong.

I'm capable of a lot of things,

but there are some that I just can't do.

Things only you can do.

You are an idol to these kids.

Your music

can bring them tremendous strength.

You can draw the whole world's attention to this school.

Instead, what did you do?

You only care about yourself.

Didn't you

win your fame and the attention

because of these kids?

I won those with my diligence and talent.

Since I left my hometown and came here,

I've been working hard

to reach my goals.

I gave all I had,

I never relaxed, not even for one second.

I did everything

to let them

see my brilliance

and my talent.

Now,

the violinist

can no longer play the violin.

Do you know

what this means to me?

You have no idea what I have lost.

You will never understand.

But no matter what you do now,

your hand will never recover.

Right.

So,

what's your plan?

Is there anything that can make you feel better?

You came here

to perform on the stage, right?

Come on.

We will make that happen.

Tonight,

I've prepared

one last show for you.

Let the two of us show up together

and let everyone see the truth.

Are you serious?

Sure I am.

This dress,

I prepared it for you long ago.

Aren't you afraid

that telling the truth might destroy Huo Youze?

Now let's welcome

the students to put on an amazing show.

Song Xiaodong is with Luo Qianyi.

You...

I'll walk you to the stage.

Tonight,

I will tell everyone the truth.

I have the same plan.

Friends at the event tonight, hi.

I'm Huo Youze.

I record this video

in fear that I won't be able

to make it to the event.

First of all,

I would like to thank

all my guests at the event.

I hope that you can bring

a new future to the Color Initiative.

In order to do that,

I am obliged

to tell you the truth.

As you all know,

last winter,

Luo Qianyi and I ran into an avalanche.

Right before the avalanche,

Qianyi fell off the cliff

after having a fight with me.

With the help of the rescue team,

I thought I had found Qianyi.

Her face was ruined and the doctors

performed surgeries.

But after the surgeries,

I found out that she is not Qianyi.

She is someone else,

Song Xiaodong.

But back then, the surgeries already ended.

I didn't choose to face the mistake I made.

Instead, I took her as Qianyi

and brought her back to China.

To cover up the truth,

I did everything I could

and lies to everyone.

I even lost myself.

But thankfully,

the law will never let a guilty one escape.

I realised the mistake that I've made.

Over the past six months,

I forced Song Xiaodong

to act like

Luo Qianyi.

Although Xiaodong lost her memories,

she never gives up

on finding her true self.

The real Qianyi

also survived the avalanche.

She went through a lot

to return to China from Japan.

Today, before the show begins,

I tell you the truth.

I hope that from now on,

you can cut me out of Color Initiative.

Please find in these kids

real talent and hope.

While you're watching this video,

maybe I'm already arrested by the police

and am about to face the punishment I deserve.

But Color Initiative

will always remain clean and clear

under your supervision.

The future of art belongs to kinds

with dreams and talent.

Thank you.

May all of you have a wonderful night.

We all hope

that you can summon the courage to face yourself.

I told you,

I'm not the real Luo Qianyi.

My name is Song Xiaodong.

However,

we have the real Luo Qianyi here with us tonight.

The performance you are about to see

is the last one of the old Color Initiative

and the first one of the brand new Color Initiative!

Can I help?

Qianyi, you can do it.

You can do it, Qianyi!

You can do it!

Let's go!

Qianyi, you can do it!

You can do it!

It's nothing like

what I heard before.

Mom.

I will become a violinist!

If you hadn't done anything against your will,

maybe the incident in Japan would have never happened.

Aren't you afraid

that telling the truth might destroy Youze?

Now he can bravely face

what he has done.

What about you?

[Welcome to Color School]

[Color Initiative, join Li Weixin in the noble course of charity]

[Support us, support Color Initiative]

[Huo Youze is sentenced to three-year imprisonment. Luo Qianyi is sentenced to four-year imprisonment]

Xiaodong,

another letter from me.

How have you been?

I sometimes think of you for no particular reason.

I want to know about your life,

but I'm afraid that I might disturb you.

Thinking back to the start of all these,

when I found out that you aren't Luo Qianyi,

I made the wrong call.

I was scared that you or others would find out.

So, I did everything I could to control you.

I even did things

that hurt you.

Later,

when the real you

started to show,

I fell in love with you.

So, I made another series of lies

to try to keep you next to me.

Back then, I didn't realise

that real love

should never be built on lies.

But it was already too late.

Now, I'm in prison,

away from desires and contradictions.

When I finally have time to think,

I realise

how selfish and stupid I was.

I thought that I was lucky.

I tried to cover one mistake

with another one.

Xiaodong,

I don't know

whether I will ever be qualified

to stand in front of you.

Mozart,

don't be so hasty.

Stop it.

Youxi,

what is it? It's so heavy.

I didn't buy anything.

You stayed up late, didn't you?

It's my professor.

But I've already finished it.

Why don't you go take a nap?

There's time to spare.

Never mind, I already took a nap.

Fine, then I will make you a double espresso.

Okay.

This is our address.

Here.

Your brother would never predict

that you would become a night owl.

Hot.

I will have to return the study to him when he returns.

What should I do?

Now that we take a look at it,

the city is actually huge.

Hi.

Sorry, we haven't...

You...

Meizi,

do we have a guest?
