Original subtitles

-Are you serious? -Why would I lie to you about this?

Xun said it herself.

But she’s unsure.

That's impossible. Xun and Leo...

Come on.

I knew you wouldn’t take it too well.

But you have me.

Xun clearly still has feelings for him.

If they can reunite...

Wow! A prince and princess.

How romantic!

Hey...

Tong.

Xun.

-What’s the matter? -Are you...

You...

What are you trying to say?

Nothing. I forgot to say goodbye.

-Bye. Ride safely. -Bye.

Ask her.

"Is there someone who you like?" Why didn’t you ask?

Fool.

Where are we?

My secret hiding place!

I’m leaving for America tomorrow.

For you. It’s lavender.

Keep it and take it, so that I'm with you.

Could you return for my sake?

On your 20th birthday,

when the lavender flowers bloom,

we'll reunite at the school.

Because of you, I’ll return.

I see flowers.

-It smells great. -Do you like it?

I'll pluck one for you.

Here you go.

-Thanks. -Let's go.

You gave me lavender but...

did you realize that lavender symbolizes the wait for love?

Gary, you have a heavy responsibility.

You know Leo relies on this face for his living.

In Taiwan, it all depends on the look.

Why bother about composing?

That'll get you nowhere.

Just be the pop star you are, okay?

Let’s take this chance to discuss your concert.

-On that day, what kind of-- -Peter.

-Okay? -All right.

That’s odd. You’re obedient today.

Leo, you’re always so laid back.

Styling is important. Can't you cooperate?

Come on. Lift your head. That's right. You may continue.

Hey! My God!

Anyone can scribble these notes. Just concentrate on your image.

You told me, once I had money and fame,

I could compose my own music.

But now,

everything's meaningless to me.

Okay, don’t be mad.

Come, sit down.

Relax. Gary.

We have time. No hurry, we’ll take it slow.

Take it.

It's fine.

You know, during the presale,

the tickets were almost sold out.

What?

Extra show? Leo’s schedule is full for the next six months.

Besides, he’s rehearsing now.

Rehearsing. He can’t be interviewed now.

He can’t be interviewed now.

Sorry.

Sorry.

I'll make it up to you next time. Come to the concert, okay?

Yes.

You must come for the concert.

Okay, thanks. Bye.

LEO SEARCHES FOR THE LAVENDER LOVER

SCENT OF A FLOWER, INSTANT HAPPINESS

LAVENDER... FOREVER

ETERNAL LOVE

HOBBIES: SINGING, SWIMMING UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT: NIGHTMARES

ENGLISH NAME: LEO ZODIAC: LEO

PLACE OF BIRTH: TAIWAN CHINESE NAME: JI QINGCHUAN

Ji Qingchuan. You’re really Ji Qingchuan.

Excuse me.

Do you have tickets for Leo's concert?

I’m sorry. The tickets are sold out.

-It's okay. -Bye-bye.

Man, this sucks.

How can Leo be Xun’s first love?

Do you know something?

If it was anyone else, I'm sure I would win.

But if it’s Leo,

I don't stand a chance at all.

What am I doing?

Why am I talking to sheep?

Xun isn’t going. I’ve wasted $130 for nothing.

What an idiot!

Goodbye.

Tong, what are you doing?

I’m talking to the sheep.

What’s up?

You bought the concert tickets, didn't you?

Yes.

If I said I was interested in going,

-would it be too late now? -Of course not.

Hang on.

It’s here. The ticket is here.

Leo. You’re such a fantastic dancer.

Come. Take a break, have some water and wipe away your sweat.

Water is not enough. What else would you like?

Eason, thank you so much.

-Please take care of Leo. -I will.

-Okay? -I will.

Shall we have dinner together later?

Sure. Leo, come along.

You guys go on.

I have something to do tonight.

Okay, get going then.

Don’t stay out too late.

Simon, good men are increasingly rare.

I've been sitting here the entire day but haven’t come across any.

It’s my fault, okay? My treat. If you can't get a good man, go home.

You're such a busybody. You sound like my dad.

It’s Leo.

Not going home?

How about a bet?

How do you know you’ll win?

Money is boring. Let’s bet on something special.

The loser gives the winner something.

I mean, something from the loser.

You were putting on an act.

You were careless while testing me.

What do you want that I have?

Your car key.

Give me your car key.

I’ll be waiting in the car.

Leo.

Leo.

How could someone make such a mess?

This is such a bad habit.

Wake up, Leo. Do you know what time it is now?

Wake up, Leo. It’s your first concert in Taiwan today.

You know how much I've invested. Don’t ruin it. Get up.

Get up... Hurry and get up now.

Watch your reputation please.

Look at this mess you've created! This place is like a pig sty.

My goodness!

How on Earth do you live here?

Can't you take good care of yourself?

Leo, I’m warning you.

Watch your personal life.

You’re no longer a punk in LA.

You’re now a superstar.

If the paparazzi found out about this,

you know how much damage it’d cause.

It’s not your choice.

Get our working relationship clear.

You're not just representing Leo,

you also carry the weight of investors.

Okay, Leo. I understand.

You still can’t sleep at night, eh?

You’re an insomniac.

I know. But this won’t do, right?

Tame yourself, okay?

Okay, be good now. Go wash up.

Get changed.

Don’t make them wait or they'll say we’re throwing our weight around.

Although we deserve to.

Xun, take the ticket.

Why? We’ll hand the tickets in together.

Just take it.

-I’ve only one ticket. -What?

Hush.

How do we go in with one ticket?

They won’t notice us among the crowd.

-But... -Let's go.

Hello. Please enter here.

Hello. Please enter here. Your seat is on the left of the stage.

Sir, you don’t have a ticket. You can't enter.

I gave it to you. On the left of the stage, right?

No, that's this lady's seat. You can't enter without a ticket.

-Hurry up, please. -Hurry up. It's a long line.

A lot of people are waiting.

I paid too. Do you know how much I spent on that?

I spent $130 on that. Why can’t I go in?

I’m sorry. You can't enter without a ticket.

-Hurry up. -Hurry up. What's wrong with him?

You go ahead. I’m not going in.

Xun, are you upset? I didn't mean it.

Why didn’t you tell me?

I was afraid you wouldn’t come.

You're here now. We still can’t go in.

No. I have the ticket. Take it. You go ahead, and I’ll wait here.

No. You paid for it. You go.

It was meant for you. Go in now before it begins

or you’ll miss the opening.

What a bad time for it to pour.

Are you guys coming in? We're closing the door.

Hang on. Xun, go in. Hurry.

I’m not going. You go. I’ll wait for you here.

Open up...

Leo, it’s full-house already.

People are buying standing tickets.

Let me tell you. All of this is thanks to me.

If it weren’t for me,

you wouldn't be this successful. Don't you agree?

-Hey! -What are you doing?

What am I doing? Thousands are waiting for you.

Hurry up and get ready.

Wait. Help me out, please. Is this how you're going out there?

-Fix your hair. Show them your face. -All right.

The audience is here for my music, not my face.

I’m sorry. I made you miss the concert.

It doesn't matter.

Yeah right, I can tell you were looking forward to this.

Is Leo that attractive to you?

He gave you the lavender, right?

Don’t ask how I know.

Just tell me,

is he that important to you?

I get it.

-Where are you going? -The concert is ending soon.

Maybe we can sneak in.

Since we’re here, you should see him.

I’ll help you.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you so much for all the help you’ve given us.

Thank you.

Most important of all, Leo’s performance in the concert

was perfect.

Thank you.

Not only were his fans crazy for him,

even I went “crazy for you”.

All right, raise your glass, please.

This is to the concert’s success.

-Thanks for everything. -Thanks for everything.

Thank you.

I hope we’ll have a chance to work together again.

Thank you.

Leo. A toast to...

A toast to all of you.

-Stop pushing. -Leo!

Leo.

-Stop pushing. -Leo.

Xun, I saw him backstage.

-Really? -Come with me.

-How strange. He was here just now. -Did you really see him?

This place is like a maze, but he was here.

Thanks.

Do you remember us?

You are...

We’re from Fairytale Nursery.

Oh... I see.

Thank you so much.

Did you buy tickets for the concert?

Thank you. Thank you for your support.

-What else do you want? -She wants to see Leo.

Everyone wants to see Leo.

He can’t see everybody.

Please help us. Please.

-Gosh! -Please.

Will you stop shaking me?

Girl, you see,

Leo is exhausted after the concert. Let him have a good rest.

Next time, get more of your friends to his concert

and you’ll be able to see him, okay?

Please tell him I'm Xun. I'm his elementary school classmate.

Yeah, and I was his high school teacher.

It's true that I was his classmate.

-Please don’t give me that. -She was his classmate.

I don’t believe it. Stop bothering me.

Please! Please let her see him.

Michael! Were you stuck to the wall or what?

Why did you let them in? Get them out!

-Come with me, please. -Show them out.

Please believe me. Leo will understand when he sees this. Please.

All right.

Please tell him I’ll be waiting outside. I won’t leave until he shows up.

What is this? Not leaving until he shows up?

Disgusting!

Stop pushing. We can walk.

-You guys-- -Don’t push her. We can walk.

-Please leave. -Do you have to be so rude?

You’re used to it. Get changed and we're leaving.

Are you all right?

I’m fine.

Will he show up?

He will if he sees the bottle.

Let's just wait for him.

The celebration hall right now must be packed with your fans.

Reporters will be fighting to interview you.

We can create some news so you’ll hit the headlines tomorrow.

You know something, Leo? You were awesome in today's concert.

Your fans were so excited. They went crazy like they were drunk.

It was fantastic. Even I was so excited that I kept dancing...

What are you doing?

I lost my music sheet.

Take your time to look for it.

I must have dropped it backstage. I have to go back.

Forget it. It’s just a song. You can compose another song.

A celebration party is waiting for you. Don’t go back.

It's important to me. I have to go back.

-No. -I'll go back by myself.

Stop the car.

I said stop.

Okay, do as he says. Turn back.

What is this important song that you must find?

See, there’s nothing here.

Even if it was here, the cleaner would have discarded it.

That’s filthy.

Where are you going? Leo!

Leo. Goodness!

What are you doing? Stop rummaging.

What are you doing? That's disgusting.

Stop it, Leo.

For you. It's lavender.

Leo, what are you looking at?

-This bottle... -Huh?

How did this bottle get here?

A girl who’s crazy about you brought it here.

She said her name is Xun. How annoying!

Where’s the girl? What did she say?

She’s like your other fans. She wanted to see you.

She said she wouldn't leave until you showed up. Disgusting!

From that very moment, I seemed to see our future.

We are like two closely linked parallel lines,

yet so far apart.

He doesn't know the meaning of lavender.

FAIRYTALE NURSERY

-Good morning, Sis. -Good morning, Tong.

-You're early today. -Yes.

-As usual. -Hamburger with egg?

-I’ll take a bottle of milk. -Okay.

LIBERTY TIMES

SINGER LEO DID NOT MEET HIS FIRST LOVE

This is too much.

Xun waited all night in the rain.

How dare he use it to create news! This is too much.

"The besotted fan, Xun,

claimed to be Leo’s first love in order to meet him

and waited outside the concert hall all night."

Oh, please, as if Xun is man-crazy.

Who told you to tell such a story?

What sort of attitude is this?

Do you know what makes a good story?

What’s a good story?

You shot to fame so quickly because I know the appetite of the media.

I don’t know about the media. I only know you don’t respect my privacy.

Privacy? Don’t make me laugh.

A public figure has no privacy.

Besides, it’s all true.

You’ve not met the paparazzi yet or you'd know better.

What kind of truth is this?

She’s just my elementary school classmate, not my first love.

What will she think if she reads this?

I don’t care.

What matters is I did another good promotion for you.

Get this straight.

Your job is to sing well.

Leave the rest to me, your manager.

This is another good promotion for you.

Why are you angry at me?

I want people to care about my music, I don’t need senseless publicity.

Tong, what are you doing?

Nothing.

Why are you hiding the newspaper?

It’s the 25th today. I want to check the lottery.

I’m keeping the paper in case I don’t find it later.

Is it the 25th today?

I... got to go to the nursery. Bye.

Xun, look. You’re in the paper.

It says that you claimed to be Leo's first love in order to meet him.

Is this true?

-Hui, don’t ask her that. -Other people will ask, even if I don’t.

Xun’s name is clearly written here.

Everybody will ask.

-Don't be such a busybody. -I'm not.

I’m asking her very seriously.

I’m just concerned. Is that wrong?

-You're not concerned. -Stop arguing.

What’s wrong?

Xun, are you all right?

-I’m fine. -Cheer up.

Just between you and me, how did you get to see Leo?

I didn’t.

We’re friends. Come on, tell me.

These are all lies.

I didn’t see him.

Xun.

How could he use me like this?

All right.

Don’t get upset over such a small matter.

There are things you must sacrifice being a star, right?

All right. I’ll try and find her.

And I'll apologize to her.

Or we could do this.

We’ll cash in on the success of the concert

and organize a fan meeting.

We’ll create an image of you as a faithful lover.

FAIRYTALE NURSERY

As for the location, which is the best?

That's right. You like lavender, don't you?

Hi, this is Fairytale Nursery.

You wish to make a booking? Where are you calling from?

Cogito International Entertainment.

Do you know Leo?

I’m Leo’s manager.

Leo would like to hold a fan meet-and-greet over there.

-Where are you going after work? -Shopping.

There are sales everywhere recently.

-Going shopping? -I saw a great pair of shoes.

Tong, we’re heading out.

Wait.

What's up?

Are you finally buying us dinner?

Yeah, dinner. You think of nothing but food.

Get stuffed.

We have a big event here tomorrow.

What’s the big event?

Leo is coming for a fan meet-and-greet.

For real?

-Leo? You're awesome, Tong. -Tong, you’re terrific.

-You’re terrific. My God! -I must get his autograph.

-I can take a picture with him. -You're the best, Tong.

-Is it true? Oh my God! -You're awesome!

What should I do?

Tong, what should I wear tomorrow?

The beige apron, what do you think?

You're awesome, Tong.

Xun, you don’t seem at all happy.

I agreed to it to make it up to you for missing Leo’s concert.

Did I say I needed this?

Did I make a mistake again?

Leo.

It's Peter.

I found the girl's address.

Okay, I got it.

Smile. Aren't you happy?

You get to see Leo tomorrow.

I think he has forgotten about me.

The lavender he gave me couldn’t even make him recall the past.

That bottle? It means nothing.

When you stand before him tomorrow, he’ll recognize you.

Not bad. You first love is a pop star.

Nonsense. He's just an elementary school classmate.

Yeah, right. An old classmate who can make you swoon over him.

He can’t be just an elementary school classmate.

Stop it.

Look at you. I’m right, eh?

-Cut the nonsense. -If he’s not, why did you look for him?

Are you looking for a rich husband?

What if I am? Leo is a superstar.

It’d be great being his girlfriend. Besides a house and a car,

I might even get a gold card.

My, you have a big appetite.

-You’re so annoying. -You don't want to put it on?

What are you doing?

That's an SLK. There are nice sports cars going around your place.

I’m going in.

Xun.

Bye.

Xun, come and have some noodles.

-Where’s Mom? -She's on a night shift.

I’ve kept some noodles for her. We'll eat first.

What? Are my noodles not tasty?

Du Xiuqi likes them very much.

Okay, don’t get mad. I’ll eat every bit of it.

Your 20th birthday is coming. How are you going to celebrate it?

What’s the matter? Haven’t you been looking forward to this day?

You even made a promise with an elementary school classmate.

On your 20th birthday, you’re meeting him at the school.

Forget about it.

-He’s long forgotten me. -Oh...

Still fuming because Ji Qingchuan didn’t meet you after the concert?

I can forget that. But he used me for publicity.

He’s coming to our nursery tomorrow.

I don’t want to see him. I’m taking tomorrow off.

The unemployment rate is high nowadays. Don’t just skip work like that.

Besides, if you see him tomorrow,

you can clear things up with him.

If he’s really that sort of person,

say it before the reporters to regain your pride.

Why should I do that? I’m innocent and people will know it.

Right. So why hide yourself away?

Your hiding only shows that you still care about him.

All right. He’s a superstar now.

You’ve got a rare chance tomorrow to get real close to a pop star.

You won’t have to wait like a fool outside the concert hall.

You won’t have to look at old photos and think of him secretly.

If you’re going tomorrow,

keep it a secret from Mom.

You nag too much.

No!

This recurring nightmare followed me from America to Taiwan.

There’s no escaping from it.

Tell him. I’ll be waiting outside until he shows up.

He doesn't know the meaning of lavender.

How did this bottle get here?

A girl who’s crazy about you brought it here.

She said her name is Xun. She wanted to see you.

She said she wouldn't leave until you showed up.

If he’s not, why are you looking for him? Are you looking for a rich husband?

What if I am? Leo is a superstar. It’d be great being his girlfriend.

He's a superstar now. You’ve got a rare chance tomorrow

to get real close to a pop star.

Leo, you picked up so quickly.

Did you not sleep all night?

Leo, was it the same nightmare again?

It was so long ago and you still haven’t forgotten it.

A gentle reminder, you’ll be meeting your fans today.

Don’t forget it. I’ll send someone to pick you up.

-Hi, this is my business card. -Okay.

-Oh, you're new in this business. -I’ll need your help in future.

Sure, my name is Peter.

-How’s the preparation of the concert? -Almost done.

-Is Japan where you’ll focus on later? -It'll be Japan, I guess.

-Please come inside. -Okay, thanks.

You’ve been invited to attend a show. Is this confirmed?

-Not yet. -Will you be acting?

Yes, I will.

Leo, autograph, please.

Quiet... Don’t scream for Leo in my ears.

I’m not Leo. Line up over there, all right?

-He'll be there in a moment. -Okay.

Tone it down.

Hi, Peter.

Do you remember me?

-We met before. -Your newspaper hasn’t closed?

Just kidding. Look at you. Please come in.

-Clear a space for me. -Okay.

Move those aside.

Be careful.

-It's a big crowd outside. -Yeah.

-Watch it. -Why hasn’t Xun come?

Stay here. I’ll look for her.

-Okay. Hurry up. -Be quick.

-Xun. -Sorry, I’m late.

Has it started?

Xun, you finally came.

-Put this on. -We’ve been so busy.

-Yeah. -You finally came.

-Jingjing, pass me the tray. -Okay.

Take the biscuits out first.

He's so cool.

-Leo, look over here, please. -Leo, over here.

-Thank you. -What are your expectations?

Leo, look over here. Leo.

-I respect my manager’s decisions. -Where will you go next?

-America, I guess. -What about Japan?

-You’ll be acting in a show? -Yes.

Girl.

Why aren’t you serving the drinks?

The reporters are thirsty.

Come. Look. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven

and eight of them. Hey!

Damn!

What are you doing? Are you deaf and blind?

Look at what you’ve done! These are expensive!

I'm sorry.

Sorry? That's it? Do you know how much these cost?

-I'm sorry. -What’s your name?

-Liang Yixun. -Sorry. Please don’t be angry.

Could you calm down if you were me? Get your boss here.

-I'm sorry. -Get your boss here.

-What’s the matter? -Look at what she did to me.

What will you do now?

-It wasn't deliberate. -Are you saying it's my fault?

Admit your mistake.

-Are you all right? -I’m fine.

Hey, you should be asking me if I’m fine. What's wrong with you?

We’re sorry. Do you have to be so rude to her?

What kind of attitude is this?

Liang Yixun.

You remember her? We went to the concert to see you.

Xun waited so long in the rain for you.

You’ve seen me now. Are you satisfied?

Do you want my photo? Or autograph?

Ji Qingchuan.

She’s the fan you wrote about.

-She’s that besotted fan? -Would someone take a photo for us?

-Leo, is she your first love? -What do you think?

Do you remember our promise?

Promise?

Yeah, of course. It’s great being my girlfriend.

Besides a house and car,

If this is what you want, I'm not surprised at all.

You...

You’re too much!

You people are too much!

Twice in a day!

Leo, what's going on? Is she not your first love?

-Yeah, is she not? -You saw that. She hates me.

Could she be my first love?

It’s all right. Everybody, it’s okay.

Act like it never happened.

Enjoy yourselves.

Leo is too much. So what if he’s a pop star?

He kissed her without her consent. He's such a jerk.

He even insulted Xun.

He even said...

-I shouldn’t have rented our place to him. -Yeah.

All his fame has made him flippant.

I'm such an idiot to have regarded him as my idol.

Don't worry, Xun. We’ll get even with him for you.

Jingjing, let's plan it out.

Let’s get our customers to boycott Leo.

Right. Don’t buy his CD. We'll see how arrogant he can be.

-Hey! -Hui.

What's up?

A lot of reporters are gathered outside to follow up on Leo's news.

They’re coming to interview Xun.
