Zeng Li, are you home?

Please pick up.

She's not picking up

or replying messages either.

Clumsy girl.

Did something happen again?

[Ma Yi Yi]

[Wu Ying]

[My sister is gone?]

[That's impossible.]

[She must be hanging out with]

[Ma Yi Yi and the rest.]

Ma Yi Yi and Wu Ying did not

pick up either.

[Something is clearly wrong.]

[The three of them]

[may be drinking and]

[got drunk somewhere.]

They didn't bring me along to have fun.

[Why would they be day drinking?]

[Besides, Zeng Li is still injured.]

All right. I'll ask around.

Once I reach them, I'll let you know.

[Sweet Teeth] [Episode 18]

What happened to your sister this time?

Nothing.

[Share in fortune, retreat in adversity.]

[Where are you off partying this time?]

[Ai Jing Chu couldn't reach Zeng Li.]

[He gave me a call.]

[Ma Yi Yi]

[The three of us are out having fun.]

[Do not tell Ai Jing Chu.]

[Try bribing me.]

[Deng Hao Ran]

[Ma Yi Yi: Location, KTV]

Which song should we select?

This one.

I haven't sung this in a long time.

[We're at the karaoke.]

[Come join us.]

I thought

you asked me out for a meal

because of conscience.

Clearly, you're still the same.

You're distracted.

You agreed to come out for a meal

because you want me

to introduce shares to you.

Not completely.

Tell me.

Why are you suddenly interested

in Chris?

You even approached me to ask about him.

Do not misunderstand.

The reason why I'm asking

is because we're in the same organization.

It's not a big deal.

The employees of the welfare centre

mentioned how competent he is.

Perhaps, we may get a chance to work together.

Isn't it?

You're right.

He was brought up well and he works hard.

The company he worked with my brother

was listed three years ago.

Besides, I heard

that the company

is only part of his assets.

His main focus doesn't lie in the company.

Does he have a girlfriend?

No.

Is he married?

He was born in the year 1988.

He's already in his thirties.

Is he divorced?

Can you please see

the good in people?

He's not divorced.

I don't think he's in a relationship

either.

My brother did not mention anything

about his personal life.

Why are you curious about this?

Well, I can only

work with someone of great character.

Am I right?

You change girlfriends

faster than changing clothes.

You sure hold high standards for others.

Honestly though,

are you seeing anyone recently?

No.

Do you still have lingering

feelings for me?

Have you ever seen

him bring a woman along

to any events?

Besides work related events,

he rarely shows up.

I've only met him a few times.

Dr. Ai, calm down.

If the three of them

aren't picking up,

that means they are together.

Sister Zeng Li may be

careless,

but Sister Wu Ying is reliable.

She will not allow harm to befall Zeng Li.

Server, the bill, please.

You should attend to the customers.

I'm leaving.

[Mr. Li]

[Mr. Ai.]

[Hello.]

[It's been a while.]

Has the child's wound recovered?

[Yes. Thanks for your concern.]

Zeng Li...

[What happened to Zeng Li?]

[It seems like]

[Mr. Li is unaware about her whereabouts.]

Zeng Li met an accident yesterday.

She...

She had a couple of stitches under her mouth.

[Was it serious?]

[That child is really careless.]

[She knocked over some book shelves once.]

It wasn't serious,

but she requires rest.

I would like to request a few days' leave

for her

so she could get some rest at home.

[It's no problem.]

[CAROL'S]

[It's completely fine.]

[Tell her]

[not to worry about work.]

[She should focus on recuperating.]

[I'll inform the department]

[and pay her a visit with some colleagues.]

Okay. Thanks.

[It's my duty.]

Zeng Li.

[Were you taken aback because of what I did?]

[I was too rash yesterday.]

Where's my phone?

Where's my phone?

Zeng Li.

What are you looking for?

Wait.

My phone is gone.

Hurry up.

Our ride is almost here.

All right.

You said...

I can barely speak properly.

I can't possibly sing.

Ma Yi Yi is a mike hogger.

She just

needs an audience.

You will not get a chance to sing.

Hurry up.

All done.

Come on. Let's go.

This one?

Let's go.

Hurry up.

I'm coming.

It's been a long time.

You just realised you left your phone behind.

The both of you knew I didn't bring my phone.

Why didn't you tell me?

[Donghu City, SO-K KTV]

[Handsome Mr. Ai]

Where are you going?

I'm picking up a call.

It's too noisy in here.

Why are you acting so nervous?

Were you going to tell Mr. Ai

where we are?

I...

I think...

It's fine to joke around

with Mr. Ai for a while,

but you can't stress him out for the whole day.

Hurry up and tell him

we're at the karaoke.

Ask him if he wants to join us.

Okay.

Hello, Mr. Ai.

[We're at the karaoke.]

[Yes, Sister Zeng Li forgot to bring her phone.]

[She asked if you'd like to join us.]

Let's order liquor.

I shall get him

[drunk today.]

[He shouldn't have mistreated Zeng Li.]

What did he do?

What happened?

[It's none of your concern.]

[All you have to do is make him drunk.]

Pass me the phone.

Let me.

Hello, Mr. Ai.

Hello, Zeng Li.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

You're busy?

It's fine.

[Don't worry.]

Mr. Ai said

he's occupied right now.

He won't be able to make it.

He's going to treat you guys to a meal some time.

Hello.

Nayuki next to

the karaoke?

[Sure.]

[I'll meet you there.]

All right.

I'm leaving.

Hold up.

You haven't explained.

What did he do to you?

This...

Deng Hao Ran.

Deng Hao Ran.

You should go.

You don't have a phone with you.

Don't go too far.

[CAROL'S]

Is this the one?

Go away.

-Come on. -No.

No.

No.

I want someone good looking.

What are you doing?

Since when have you kept in touch

with Lily?

What's the matter?

It's not

illegal in our country

to keep in touch with an ex after breaking up.

Or am I only

allowed to keep in touch with

you?

Sure, you can.

Of course you can.

The next time this happens,

I'm going to give you a slap.

Look.

I don't feel like talking to her.

Look at her.

Every time

she texts me,

all I do is reply with a meme.

Take a look.

I don't want to.

Take a look.

I don't want to.

Take a look.

No.

[If you'd like to find out more about Chris,]

[Li Li]

[let me know.]

[Do not forget to]

[recommend profitable shares to me too.]

Why are you asking about Chris for no reason?

What's wrong?

I'm building a network

and making connections. What do you know?

I don't believe you.

Tell me.

I'm worried you'd be deceived again.

Stop.

Cut the crap.

I do not believe

the nonsense you say.

He came from a wealthy family.

He's pretty capable too.

He's not philanderous.

He doesn't have a girlfriend

nor a wife.

Are you serious?

Forget about it.

He may be great,

but the both of you aren't suitable for each other.

In what way?

Hurry up.

Grab a mike.

This is a song I selected for us.

It's really good.

Isn't this

Wu Ying and her Brother Lu's

song?

What's the matter?

It's nothing.

It's nothing.

This isn't far from the karaoke.

Why hasn't she arrive?

[Hey, Mr. Ai.]

Hello.

[Sorry.]

[It's too loud in here.]

[What's the matter?]

Zeng Li hasn't

arrive yet.

Did she return?

She left for a long time.

The both of you haven't met up?

She mentioned

Nayuki just now.

Did I get it right?

[Yes.]

The brand has branches everywhere.

[Are you guys at the wrong location?]

It's already 7pm.

It's been an hour.

Why hasn't Mr. Ai show up?

You're late.

Did you know

how long have I waited for you?

Look at the

location you sent me.

Down west of the street,

there's another Nayuki.

Excuse me.

Is there another branch

of Nayuki around here?

Yes.

Where is it?

Follow along this street.

Pass through two junctions.

It's at the west side.

Thank you.

Look at you.

Zeng Li.

Zeng Li.

Zeng Li.

Mr. Ai, I'm here.

The pedestrian bridge.

Okay.

♫ I want to be with you forever ♫

♫ I'll be there for you whenever you need me ♫

Mr. Ai.

♫ Come to me. I want to learn all about you. ♫

I did not leave my phone behind on purpose.

Yi Yi and Wu...

♫ Everything about you, every moment from now on ♫

♫ I'll be with you ♫

♫ Tomorrow and always, I'll be there ♫

Don't do this anymore.

Keep your phone with you at all times.

I don't want to lose you anymore.

I've something for you.

[Unread messages.]

[Unread messages.]

[Unread messages.]

[Terao's phone rang suddenly.]

[It was a text from]

[Mikako eight years ago.]

[She said,]

[I'm the 15-year-old Mikako.]

[I've always loved you.]

♫ I fell deep into the gentleness of your eyes ♫

♫ Perhaps, I just miss the past ♫

[Zeng Li.]

♫ Running through the past and the future ♫

[I'm Ai Jing Chu.]

[I've always loved you.]

I watched the anime you mentioned.

♫ Reminiscing memories ♫

I did not catch the

♫ Running around only to return to where we started ♫

ending you talked about.

In the end, Terao

did not receive

Mikako's text of "I love you".

♫ Anticipation is glimmering in my eyes ♫

I think every story

deserves an ending.

It's considered

an ending I gave them.

♫ I hold you ♫

[Zeng Li, I'm Ai Jing Chu. Honestly, I've always loved you.]

♫ And never let you go ♫

[The relationship between people]

[Donghu University, Donghu City, Jiangbei Province. ]

[is bewildering.]

[Zeng Li, Faculty of Library Management, Class 1 of 2013.]

♫ Love never left ♫

[I used to think]

♫ Brightening the stars ♫

[of myself as]

[Mikako from Voices of a Distant Star.]

♫ Waiting for you to come by ♫

[The signals I sent]

[were lost in the galaxy.]

♫ Only to meet again ♫

[Only the passing meteors]

[know of my existence,]

♫ If I could keep this happiness ♫

[know that]

[I've been holding on]

[to my world]

♫ Do not withdraw ♫

[for the sake of someone I admired.]

♫ What surrounds concern is endless gentleness ♫

[However, I've never imagined]

[that meteor]

[would come crashing into my world]

[Donghu University, Donghu City, Jiangbei Province.]

[Zeng Li, Faculty of Library Management, Class 1 of 2013.]

[because I've been holding on.]

Have you

written a letter to no. 825, Ancient Road,

Aters Town of Pennsylvania

in The States?

Yes, who's speaking?

Your letters were drenched due to snow.

The information of sender and recipient were smeared

♫ Perhaps, only you could ♫

so I opened the letter

♫ Put an end to my loneliness ♫

and

accidentally read a few lines.

You read my letter?

♫ And sweep me off my feet ♫

I'm so sorry.

The content of the letter

was your privacy.

♫ I hold you ♫

♫ And never let you go ♫

[Zeng Li, I'm Ai Jing Chu. Honestly, I've always loved you.]

♫ Love never left ♫

♫ Brightening the stars ♫

♫ Waiting for you to come by ♫

♫ I've learnt that ♫

♫ What surrounds concern is endless gentleness ♫

Do you like this

ending?

♫ Your eyes are glimmering ♫

Yes, I do.

♫ A flicker of starlight ♫

♫ You and I are intertwined ♫

♫ Holding you tightly ♫

♫ I hold you ♫

♫ And never let you go ♫

♫ I've never left ♫

I'm going home.

♫ As we stand before the door ♫

I'm exhausted.

♫ We parted and met again ♫

♫ I love you ♫

♫ If I could keep this happiness ♫

♫ Do not withdraw ♫

♫ What surrounds concern is endless gentleness ♫

Ma Yi Yi.

What's the matter?

You can't drive when you're exhausted.

I drove myself after

the photoshoot.

You can't drive anyway.

What happens if something goes wrong?

I'll send you back.

I've to

retrieve my car tomorrow.

It's a hassle.

I'm leaving.

Ma Yi Yi.

I'll drop you home.

Scoundrel.

Have you fallen in love with me?

I don't care if something happens to you.

It's a bad thing to affect the

traffic of Donghu.

The Brother Lu

Deng Hao Ran mentioned

was your ex-boyfriend?

Don't be mad.

Why did the

both of you break up?

It's fine if you don't want to talk about it.

Not at all.

Back then,

I just got accepted to Donghu University.

I got to know him online.

Afterwards, he came to Donghu for me.

My dad found out.

He learned that he was in the sports industry

and didn't have much qualifications.

He didn't come from a great background either.

My father objected

our relationship.

Out of impulsiveness,

I went to Binhai with him.

I almost dropped out of school.

You gave up on studies for him?

You guys eloped?

It's unlike me to do so, right?

It's totally unlike you.

I was really rebellious in the past.

Actually,

I've an older brother.

My parents

gave birth to me in their forties.

Because

everyone in the family spoils me,

I was a daredevil when I was young.

I was fearless.

However, when I was at Binhai,

my brother was caught in a car accident

and passed away.

He loved me the most.

He'd always leave the best

to me.

However, I wasn't able to see him

for the last time.

I returned to Donghu after that

to attend my brother's funeral.

My parents

looked so much older all of a sudden.

Honestly,

whenever I recall the past,

it feels like

everything happened not long ago.

From then on,

I realised

I can no longer afford to act arbitrarily.

I can't fool along anymore.

My parents are old.

I'm their

only hope.

After attending

to the matters at home,

I submitted a plead to the university.

It wasn't easy for me

to return to school.

Subsequently, I stopped contacting

that boyfriend of mine.

What's wrong?

After learning how much I've done

for someone else,

are you upset?

In my opinion,

you and him shared a song.

We must share a song too.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Follow me and find out.

Where are we going?

Dance with the aunties.

Learn to dance

just like me. Come on.

It's fun.

♫ I could feel everything about you ♫

♫ You don't know all I do is think about you ♫

Do you remember this song?

Yes.

I'd never forget this song for the rest of my life.

This shall be our song from now on.

♫ I feel alone ♫

Okay.

♫ I never knew ♫

♫ If it doesn't matter ♫

♫ You never know how much I love you ♫

♫ No matter you're with me ♫

♫ Stars beneath your eyes ♫

♫ Waiting for you on the other side ♫

Let me take a look.

It's a huge wound.

Is it going to scar you?

Wu Ying said

she used the thinnest surgical suture

and the stitches were detailed.

It will not leave a scar.

That's good.

Otherwise, I'll be made the library's only attraction.

I'd be lonely.

You should

enjoy that sense of loneliness.

Anyway,

how did you find out

I was injured?

I wanted to give all of you a surprise

when I return to work.

Dr. Ai called the department yesterday

to request a leave on your behalf.

Mr. Li told me

to remind you

to focus on recuperating.

Do not even think about work.

Leave it all to us.

What?

Mr. Ai requested a leave on my behalf?

You didn't know?

I was wondering

why did he request for a leave instead.

Could it be

that the both of you are finally together?

No.

Let me explain.

This is the case.

I need to answer the door.

Stay seated.

You're a patient.

Don't move.

I'll be back

to interrogate you.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

Mr. Ai?

How considerate, Mr. Ai.

Come on in.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to come by in the afternoon,

but I was worried you'd be asleep.

By the way,

why are these still out there by the door?

I thought they belonged to one of the neighbours

and were delivered wrongly.

I was waiting for the courier

to pick them up.

Silly girl.

Silly girl.

I sent them over yesterday.

I should be hiding in my car.

I'll cook something up.

You guys should catch up.

Zeng Li.

All right. Come over here.

Long legs.

Prominent nose bridge.

Double eyelids.

He's gorgeous.

Zeng Li.

This accident is totally worth it.

Can you keep it down?

The food will be ready

in another 30 minutes.

Would you like to stay for dinner?

It's fine.

I suddenly recall there are

things to tend to at home.

I shall get going.

I'll see you off.

It's fine.

When you recover,

I'll see you at work.

Dr. Ai.

Bye.

See you.

Get back to what you were doing.

Don't worry about me.

Did I do something wrong?

Why did she leave all of a sudden?

Nothing.

People always complain

I'm being too

aloof to others

at work or in school.

Wan Xia probably just wants

to leave us alone.

I understand.

-Zeng Li. -Mr. Ai.

Go ahead.

You go.

I just wanted to ask

if I could help you cook.

I wanted to ask

if you'd like to help me cook.

Yes.

Must we hold hands at home as well?

Yes.

What do you

need me to do?

Let me see.

I'll think about it.

Can you chop the vegetables?

Yes.

Here you go.

What do you think?

It seems like

you really enjoy eating tofu.

I meant it literally.

We had tofu two days ago

and we're having tofu today as well.

Your chin is injured.

I wanted to make

something you could chew.

You sure are considerate, Mr. Ai.

Would you like to give it a taste?

It's hot.

Open up.

What do you think?

Mr. Ai's tofu tastes great.

By the way,

why did you request a leave

from the library on my behalf?

I couldn't contact you yesterday.

I tried reaching Ma Yi Yi and

Wu Ying,

but they did not pick up.

Deng Hao Ran answered my call,

but it seems like

he didn't want to talk.

Afterwards,

I went to the cafe to meet Dou Dou.

She said you weren't around for the entire day.

I went through my list of contacts.

I realised among the

people around you I could contact,

the only person was Mr. Li.

I gave him

a call

and requested a leave on your behalf.

Here.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I didn't know my girlfriend

was a cry baby.

Are you teasing me, Mr. Ai?

No.

By the way,

from now on,

can you stop calling me Mr. Ai?

What should I call you then?

Dr. Ai?

Professor Ai?

Mr. Ai?

What does your mom usually

call your dad?

You mean, my biological dad?

Yes.

Scoundrel.

I remember

that's what she calls him when

the relationship was rocky.

When their relationship was fine, she calls him

scoundrel in this tone.

Forget it.

Stick to Mr. Ai then.

What's wrong?

Scoundrel sounds pretty good.

Scoundrel.

All right.

Scoundrel.

Let's eat.

Scoundrel.

Hurry up and eat.

Don't move.

Scoundrel.

Boss, two bottles of water.

Room temperature or iced?

Iced.

Room temperature, please.

Reduce consuming cold drinks. It's bad for the body.

Sister, it's you.

Don't you recognise me?

I used to play games here all the time.

You even ordered me around.

We got into a fight.

Are you the son of the owner?

You're all grown up.

In the past,

you were only this tall.

That was years ago.

I'm already 20 this year.

Sister.

Did you graduate earlier?

I haven't seen you in a long time.

Is this your boyfriend?

How much is this?

4 bucks.

There you go. I shall get going.

Sure.

Liu Yu Cheng, slow down.

You stormed off.

Are you upset?

No.

That was just a natural reaction.

Don't overthink.

Get over here.

You're just ashamed of

dating me.

No.

You're only a year older

than that brat.

What's wrong with that?

When I entered university,

he was 11.

You were only 12.

You were all

kids who were 150cm tall.

It feels like

I extended my claws to you.

Don't be ridiculous.

On the contrary, I feel like I'm not good enough for you.

Look at you.

You're beautiful, smart,

career driven,

decisive,

and kind-hearted.

If I were to name some of your weaknesses,

you're bad at games.

I've always worried

that once it starts to get boring

after two years,

you'd break up with me.

What is

going through that silly head of yours?

That has never crossed my mind.

Really?

Can I come home

with you this week?

This week?

That's a bit of a rush.

You're right.

Next week, then.

Think about it.

My parents are already

in their sixties and seventies.

What happens

if their blood pressure spike when they see you?

What about the week later?

No, what I mean is,

we should plan this properly.

I got it.

I'm still not good enough for you.

If only

time travelling exists.

If only I could go back in time

at my current age

to meet you in the past,

I'm willing to do anything.

You're really impatient.

Yes.

You're still young.

You've plenty of time.

I should be the one who's concerned.

I don't want you to feel that way.

If your parents agree to our relationship,

we'd be able to see each other

freely, without any pressure.

Isn't that great?

You asked for this.

I've made up my mind.

There's no better day than today.

You shall come home with me this week.

-Really? -Hurry up.

Dr. Ai.

What's wrong?

You're slower today.

I'm not

in my best form today.

Xiao Chu.

Do you notice

how fast time passes?

It's gone in the blink of an eye.

Do you remember

how the both of us

ended up as friends?

Of course.

We were roommates then.

You'd always bring

guests over.

The parties would go on late.

The garbage were left till the next day.

One day,

you ended the party early,

came to my room and asked,

do you

sleep around 11pm every night?

You said, not around 11pm,

at 11pm sharp.

Back then, I thought

you're pretty weird.

You were young.

You didn't have many friends.

Honestly,

those weren't the problem.

The problem is

no matter how upset or

frustrated you are,

you refused to express yourself.

Back then,

if I did not approach you to ask,

by the time you move out,

we'd probably remain as

acquaintances who shared a place together.

Yes.

Fortunately,

you took the initiative.

We became best friends after.

The distance between people

is fascinating.

A single step further, or a single step back

will make a difference.

In life,

it isn't easy to find someone

just nice.

Yu Yi.

I've been trying to find an opportunity

to talk to you about Zeng Li.

There's no need to explain.

I know the both of you

well enough.

You're both an enigma.

You keep everything inside,

but it's also written on your face.

In the past,

all I did was focus on myself.

I ran forward

without looking back.

I did not realise

there was once

a great girl

right behind me.

I did not cherish her.

You should know

that Zeng Li is different from I am.

Although she looks cheerful,

she's always overthinking.

She keeps everything to herself.

If you'd like to date her,

you should take the initiative.

Honestly,

precisely because the both of you are alike,

you would

understand her better than I do.

Thus, I talked to her.

The both of your magnetic forces are similar.

She will be happy

with you.

Don't worry.

I'll protect her.

I'll take care of her.

I would rather

you not.

That way,

I can steal her for myself.

Don't forget.

One's first love

is flawless.

Don't worry.

I'm pretty confident about this.

That's impossible.

I'm leaving.

Youngest uncle.

Are the both of you here

to provoke me on purpose?

How inconsiderate.

Get used to it.

I'll leave you to talk.

I'm going to help him with the luggage.

Okay.

I was told that you're returning to The States

to discuss about the branch at Yancheng.

You mentioned

being assigned to the branch at Donghu.

Why are you transferring to Yancheng abruptly?

Was it because of us?

What are you talking about?

Am I that weak?

The Yancheng branch

offered a better position

coincidentally.

Don't worry.

No matter where I end up at,

it's merely

due to better and more suitable

job opportunities.

I know.

You've always been

exceptional.

Since Xiao Chu isn't here,

I would like to

express my feelings.

How mysterious.

Go ahead.

Xiao Chu is exceptional

and smart.

On the path of becoming a doctor,

he was completely focused.

Being with him,

you will not be

troubled by trivialities.

Besides,

he's one

to live in his ideals.

When he falls in love with someone,

he will treat her right with everything he owns.

Thus, the both of you

are meant for each other.

Good girl.

Good girl.

When you grow up,

and leave home,

you'd be independent.

Do not cry.

I told you once.

You're ugly when you cry.

I...

Don't look at me if I'm too ugly for you.

No matter where I go,

I'd wish both of you the best.

Here you go.

Thanks.

It's running late.

I should get going.

I'm heading in.

Have a safe journey.

Yu Yi.

Youngest uncle.

I'm leaving.

Goodbye.
