[Lover or Stranger Ep23]

No. 3 blade.

Hemostatic Forceps.

Gauze.

How was it?

They are in bad condition,

especially Meizi.

She had a chest injury.

I've arranged surgery for her.

Don't worry. They'll be fine.

One more thing.

Feng.

The police will see this as a traffic accident.

We brought them back first to save them.

But the police will ask them questions

once they regain consciousness.

Cool,

I will explain what happened then.

Good.

Don't get the police involved.

Now we have to.

We can't hide this.

You've sacrificed enough.

You took the blame for what happened to Qianyi and Xiaodong.

What about this time?

Are you going to take the blame again?

It's different.

I'll explain this to the police.

Sun Lei.

Sun Lei.

What will happen to him?

Is he going to jail?

I can't help him anymore.

Maybe he's just tired...

Same...

Same.

Sun Lei.

Shh...

Shh...

We'll be ok.

Are they safe now?

But Meizi and Zhengnan

got into a traffic accident.

They're still at the hospital.

The police will ask questions

when they wake up.

And we'll have to face up to what we did.

Why should I...

because of Xiaodong?

I wanted to talk to Xiaodong.

I wanted to find a way

to get you out of this.

But now, with this traffic accident,

the police will find out the truth.

By that time,

I'll be known as Song's accomplice.

A violinist has become a kidnapper...

what an interesting story.

We have to take the consequences.

But with your talents,

you'll have the opportunity

to win back everything that belonged to you,

and start over.

Start over?

If Zhengnan tells anyone about

what happened to me,

my life will be ruined.

Do you know who put me through all this?

It was you!

It was you!

You!

You!

All your fault!

There is no point in keeping all this.

Qianyi...Qianyi.

It's all useless!

Qianyi. Calm down.

Qianyi.

They're for nothing!

Qianyi. Qianyi.

...for nothing.

Qianyi. Calm down.

Qianyi.

Qianyi. Qianyi.

My hand...

My hand.

Qianyi.

Qianyi.

My hand...

My hand, my hand...

Oh my god, my hand.

Qianyi.

My hand.

Qianyi.

I'll get you to the hospital.

Qianyi.

My hand.

Go home.

Have some rest.

How is Meizi?

She's safe now.

Don't worry.

Thank you.

Xiaodong.

What happened to your hand?

Nothing.

I was clumsy yesterday.

I didn't get to say thank you.

Thank you for saving me.

It was nothing.

I'm really sorry

for what happened to Meizi.

If we had saved you earlier,

nothing would have happened.

Sun Lei was right.

You should stay away from

what happened between Zhengnan and me.

And...

If it hadn't been for your help,

I would have died on the snow mountain.

Though this is not how I looked like,

it's better than having a face covered by scars.

If you think about it,

you don't owe me anything.

I'll think of other ways to make it up to you.

You don't have to.

I've made up my mind.

When Meizi gets better,

we'll go back to Japan with Feng.

Whatever happens here will

have nothing to do with us.

Hi. Are you Mr. Huo?

Hi Miss Luo.

I wanted to come by your place.

But I was told you're at the hospital.

Let's talk here.

May I know who you are?

Chen Hao, policeman.

There was a traffic accident yesterday.

Many things were pretty unclear.

There were also some coincidences.

I'd like your help to understand a bit more.

I'll wait for you at home.

You can stay.

I'll leave you two to it.

Go ahead.

Qianyi. Qianyi.

Sheng.

What are you doing here?

She told me you were injured.

I was so worried.

Are you ok?

I'm fine.

That's good.

I went to Youze's place, but I couldn't find you.

So I begged her to take me here.

He said it was super urgent.

I couldn't talk him out of it,

so I brought him here.

What is it?

Where is Youze?

Based on the information we have now,

we can't identify the victims of the accident.

But we've matched the image of the victim

against our database, he looks like

the man who broke into your house before.

I checked with the witness,

and I was told that you were standing

close to the scene of the accident.

I...

Youze.

Youze. Come to school with me.

What are you doing here?

Miss He told us

the school is closing,

and she's informing our families to take us home.

Mr. Huo.

I'll leave you to it.

Please contact me when you have some time.

Explain to me what happened.

Thank god I brought Bestore snacks with me.

Qianyi.

Why didn't you come to

visit us with Youze last time?

Seriously,

you snuck out like this,

everybody would be worried.

They won't.

They chose me to

come find you.

Finding Youze

and Qianyi

is my mission.

Who gave you my address?

We snuck into Miss He's office

and got your address.

Then we voted,

and I was chosen because I'm the bravest one.

Actually, we don't know what else to do.

If you don't come with me

and persuade Miss He,

we'll have to go back home.

Why are we sending them home?

We didn't raise any money on this year's Color Gala,

and the Board of Directors of Mingyou Group

has decided to stop investing in the Color Initiative.

A specialized group has been formed

to liquidate the assets.

As for the kids...

Miss He told us

we'll have to attend the local school.

But I'm about to take the exam for the music middle school.

If I go back home now,

my dad won't allow me to study music.

Or...

he might take me straight to work with him.

Youze.

You opened this school.

Help us.

Yeah.

You can't just leave them like this.

We have no money.

We can't do anything.

I'll take care of the money.

I'll tell Miss He

to stay calm.

Then

I'll find a solution.

You're the best.

Youze.

We have nothing left

to make any promises.

What are you planning to do when

Zhengnan wakes up?

Let's do our best.

We can't just do nothing.

Youze. Qianyi.

Please come back with me.

Let's tell everybody about this.

Let's try tomorrow.

It's late today.

Let me call Miss He first.

You'll stay for tonight.

I'll take you back to school tomorrow.

Thank you for the help earlier.

No worries.

I like Sheng.

Let's leave some good memories for the kids.

What is your plan for the school?

I'll look after the Color Initiative

even if the company decides to kill it.

I won't let the kids leave.

You can't simply put an end to this.

The directors

never have any interest in charity.

Now you ask them to pay out of pocket.

It's impossible.

It's all because of what happened

at the Color Gala.

Also the two names, Youze and Qianyi,

no longer work for marketing.

I only had revenge on my mind.

I didn't know the consequences.

I didn't know...

It was my bad.

Your revenge started with me.

I heard...

Qianyi was hurt?

She sliced her left hand.

I'm not sure how bad it is.

How could this happen?

I told her

the police will investigate Song Zhengnan sooner or later,

and we can't hide what happened.

She knew the consequences,

then she went pretty emotional, and...

Right!

I went to the school the other day,

and the kids wanted to see you again.

I don't think I'll ever come back to that school.

Though,

I had fun with the kids,

was that the real me?

I better not.

Fine.

I need to check on Meizi.

She'll be fine.

I'm sorry.

I can't perform now.

It's alright.

Don't apologize.

We'll resume the performance when you recover.

And how long will that take?

Soon.

I'll wait no matter

how long it will take.

Miss Luo.

May I have some words with you?

This can't be true. You're lying.

What the hell did you do to her?

It's not what you think.

I still can't believe

Qianyi...

Qianyi will hurt anyone.

I actually feel for her.

I know how horrible and scary

human selfishness can be.

You made a huge mistake,

and you didn't choose to cover for yourself,

but to face up to what you did.

I don't think

most of us can do it.

I believed you could give her the future.

If I knew this is the case,

I'd rather you've never

met each other.

I've been chasing after her.

I've tried my best to

prove myself useful.

This was my way to

keep her by my side.

But her heart never belonged to me.

Now I understand.

We were lying to each other in this relationship.

I was the one who hurt her.

Sheng. Give it a rest.

I want to have some hot pot.

I've made a self-heating hot pot for you.

It smells so good.

Make a public announcement

in my name as soon as possible,

say that we'll restart

the Color Gala. Use all the media resources

we had in the past.

We don't have much time

to do anything.

If others find out what

we've done,

we'll be in an even more awkward situation.

So it has to be now.

Otherwise, it will be too late.

This is the last thing I want to do.

I will use my own money

to establish a specialized foundation

for the Color Initiative.

You know we need at least five members

for the foundation.

Neither you nor Qianyi will join

given what is going on.

Also,

what will the public think of

this foundation you established at this point?

That's why I'm hosting the Color Gala

for the last time,

not for me,

not for Qianyi.

I want people to know

what we've done in the past few years.

I believe

the legacy of the Color Initiative will pass on.

Fine.

You don't need to stay here all the time.

Go have some sleep.

I still have your tents.

Right!

Qianyi is also at this hospital.

She had an argument

with Youze last night.

They both got injured.

How was she?

Her left palm was cut through by glasses,

and several tendons of her hand were ruptured.

Though we performed the surgery,

we can't promise she will

recover well enough to play the violin.

She couldn't take this,

and she went quite emotional.

What a shame.

Yeah.

Though she treated you that way,

if you put yourself in her shoes,

she has her reasons.

I used to force myself

to become a violinist,

just like her.

I failed the task, of course.

But it feels weird

as if my hands are hurt as well.

I understand.

Even though your memories are back,

you used to live your life

as Luo Qianyi.

Yeah.

Look at my face.

I stole this from her.

Well.

I wanted to see her.

But I'm scared.

I don't know what to say

when I see her.

Would you like to see the kids with me?

Vanished...

What?

I can feel it...

something that belonged to me was gone.

Don't think too much.

Have some rest.

Rehabilitation sessions

will help you get better.

I won't.

Qianyi.

We've done

something quite meaningful

for the past few years.

Let's go visit them.

They'll cheer you up.

They'll give you strength for life.

It's meaningless to me.

I'm no longer a violinist.

Who am I? How will I introduce myself to them?

How will I face the world?

I will soon start organizing

the performance at the Color Gala.

Performance?

Why are we doing a performance?

If more people can see you perform,

we'll raise more money,

and you will be able to complete your studies.

You said you would pay.

I can pay for this year.

What about next year?

Many years later, when you all grow up,

more kids might need help

from the Color Initiative.

I hope

the Color Initiative

can last and operate well even if I'm not around.

Youxi.

My worst fear

is that I don't have enough time.

You have to finish

what I have started.

I just found out there is

another grownup in the family.

Well.

I might outperform you.

Youze.

Youze. Welcome.

Hi everybody.

Did you behave well?

Huo. Sorry about this.

Miss He.

Sheng.

How could you...

I was so scared for you!

You can't risk it like this!

This is what

our dad wanted to do from the beginning.

A pottery classroom.

They have pottery classes!

Art class.

They learn more things than I did.

Of course. They're more talented.

Some students

went back to take the tests

or went back to the local school

with what they've learned here.

I'm worried about

the students relying entirely on this Initiative.

Their hometown is far away.

Their families can't support them financially.

And their talents will

just be wasted.

Though I'm no longer

entitled to make decisions for Mingyou Group,

I will personally support the students

we have now till they attend college.

It's just...

There'll be some complicated procedures.

It might take some time.

But don't worry.

And don't send them back.

That would be wonderful.

One more thing. It's kind of urgent.

I want to know...

how many students

in this school can perform on stage?

You mean,

you want them to perform?

I want to do one last thing

with everybody's help.

This is great.

Let me talk to the teachers right now.

Thank you.

Sure.

Hi.

Xinxin.

Where is Qianyi?

Aren't you two together?

I'm Youze's younger sister.

My name is Youxi.

Qianyi...

can't make it for today.

Will she come to see the performance?

Xinxin.

Qianyi won't come

to the performance.

I'm afraid you won't

see her recently.

Why?

Morning.

Morning.

Morning.

Come on in.

Uncle Feng.

What brings you here so early?

Well.

Meizi and you are finally reunited.

It's been so many years.

I couldn't leave you

and Meizi behind.

So I'm thinking...

we'll help you two obtain legal identities.

Then,

you will be able to

go back to Japan with me.

Good. What do you need us to do?

My wife

and I

will adopt you and Meizi

as our foster daughters.

Right. He told me about this.

He applied for adoption

more than ten years ago,

but he didn't have the approval letters from you two.

Now is the chance.

Exactly.

This is the easiest way.

My wife and I have become Japanese citizens for years.

As per Japan's law,

I can adopt adults.

Xiaodong, what do you say?

Do you agree?

Yes.

Thank you. Feng.

Excellent.

I'll take care of this.

Congratulations.

Uncle Li.

You've seen what we've done

for the Color Initiative over the years.

It has carried the dreams of many kids.

It will be a pity if the initiative is affected

by funding reasons.

You just need to act as a member.

And it will save the Color Initiative.

I heard the Color Initiative being suspended.

I chatted to your uncle Chen about it,

but I was told that you borrowed

10 million dollars from him in secret.

What is going on?

Chen can't make things up

behind your back, right?

True.

I did borrow some money from him.

As your elders,

Chen and I are

worried about what you did.

We can't guarantee

there won't be any financial issues

with the charity foundation.

I can't do this for you.

Don't put me in this awkward position.

I'm just a retired old man.

No matter what they ask,

don't be nervous.

I'll answer the questions.

Take it easy.

The journalists are here.

Quite a few, actually.

Are you ready?

Cool.

Let's go.

Come.

Mr. Huo is here.

Where is Luo Qianyi?

Well.

So the rumors are true.

Thank you for attending this event.

The Color Initiative is committed to making art education more accessible,

to providing better education for

more children with potential.

We also had a

fundraiser dinner during the Color Gala,

which has made the Color Initiative more popular.

However, more spotlights

bring more supervision.

It has also amplified our weaknesses.

So this year, we've decided to make some changes.

Before we start,

please enjoy the performance,

brought to you by

two students from the Color School.

[Don't look for me]
