Original subtitles

Wait for me.

Sorry, I...

Did you compose these songs?

You don’t want them anymore?

They are not appreciated anyway.

Could you give them to me instead? The songs are lovely.

What are you looking at?

I thought I lost it.

I returned to the backstage area and realized you had come when I saw it.

But you had left.

So, you never actually forgot me?

No.

Is this your workplace?

You compose lyrics and songs?

This is my personal time. Let’s put work aside.

-Have some warm water. -Thanks.

Is your injury serious? I can accompany you to the hospital.

I'm fine. It’s not that serious.

Right, you’re a celebrity now. You can’t visit the hospital

or you’ll make the headlines again.

I never knew you had musical talent.

Besides being good at singing, you can compose songs too.

It’s just a form of livelihood. I survived in America with music.

Now that you're a superstar, you must be leading an exciting life.

You look so cool on stage and thousands of fans adore you.

But you can’t be like common folk, walking freely on the streets

or visiting roadside hawker stalls.

Although you look like you own the world,

you can't share your joy with anyone.

You must be lonely.

Are you happy with this life?

What's with that look?

Do you have anyone to cherish in your life?

Of course. My mom, my sister,

and also...

the others.

How about you?

Is there someone you cherish?

The person I wish to cherish isn't in this world anymore.

You can search for someone else.

Someone else?

There must be someone who's waiting for your concern and love.

Someone who feels her entire world may crumble if she loses you.

Perhaps you haven’t noticed,

or haven't found her.

There must be someone.

You’ll certainly meet her.

-Hello. -Xun, why weren't you here?

I’m not feeling well and...

You’re not feeling well? Have you seen the doctor?

I’m feeling much better now.

Are you at home?

Yes, I’m at home.

I'm going to bed. I’ll talk to you tomorrow, okay?

Okay, sleep tight.

Bye-bye.

Was that your boyfriend?

Please don’t say that.

He's just a colleague.

I’m not you. You're surrounded by female fans all the time.

Are you envious of me?

Why would I envy a narcissist like you?

Dream on.

Am I laughing too much?

Why aren’t you talking?

What's the matter?

-My chest... -I’ll take you to hospital.

No, it’s a small matter. I’ll be fine after taking my medicine.

Drink it slowly.

I want to build a greenhouse.

-What's the greenhouse for? -It’s to grow lavender.

I’m sure you haven’t met a girl like me before.

It's strange

for me to have a relapse.

You scared me.

I'm sorry.

It’s okay. Get some rest.

Where has she gone?

Matron, Xun is all grown up. Do you have to check on her?

I’ll go home and take a look. Take care of matters here.

-I'll be right back. -Matron, what about my shift?

This is what she always does. If her children are that important,

-she should resign to look after them. -Meihui.

-Dr. Wang. -Try to be more understanding.

She has to work to support her family

and take care of two children with special needs.

It's not easy for her.

Are their conditions that serious?

It’s getting late. Go home and rest.

It's fine. My mom's on the night shift.

No wonder you’re so bold.

My school application was successful. I’ll be leaving for America soon.

That’s great. Why are you sulking?

I’m considering whether I should go.

-Surely you should go. Why not? -What about you?

You are the one who’s studying. Why are you asking me?

I hope you can come along.

My mom would never agree.

Stop using your mom as an excuse. I’m asking you, not her.

Why are you shouting at me?

I was quite happy today,

until your words wrecked my mood.

I don’t care. Return my good mood to me.

Why do you always avoid this issue?

Do you know how insecure I feel?

I don’t see why you’re avoiding it.

Please don't push me. Give me some time. I’ll settle it.

Fine. Settle our relationship once and for all too.

Xiuqi, can we not quarrel?

I don’t like to see you frown.

All right. Please don't be angry.

Give me a smile before I go home, will you?

I can’t.

Let me help you.

Smile.

Consider going to America with me, okay?

You’re seeing someone behind my back.

No wonder you don't want me to pick you up after work.

Quit your job and stay home from tomorrow onward.

-I don’t trust you anymore. -He is serious about me.

He asked if I want to go to school in America with him.

He's an undergraduate, am I right?

His name is Du Xiuqi, a Taiwan University undergraduate.

That means, he still depends on his parents.

How can he be responsible for you when he can’t take care of himself?

You can't just do everything as you please.

You should know better. You are ill.

Mom, you’re too protective over us.

Ever since Yixun had an attack at the relay race, you became so on edge.

You forbid us from joining our friends and group activities.

When friends visit us, they have to disinfect their hands

before entering our rooms.

If they don’t, your immune systems may get infected.

But Yixun and I have become a burden on the others.

Everyone takes extra precautions when interacting with us,

afraid that we may have an attack while playing with them.

Mom, you used to wonder why Yixun and I are exceptionally close.

It’s because we don’t have friends.

Yixun and I concluded that,

if we do not mention our medical check-ups,

or discourage visits to our home,

no one would discover our illness

and we’d be able to live like normal people, without being isolated.

You blame yourself for conceiving two children with heart defects.

But we don't belong to you.

I have grown up. Let me handle my own life.

You can finally be free!

Yichen, are you feeling unwell?

-Stop talking. -You don’t know what we want.

Yichen!

Hello.

What?

Okay, I'll be right there.

Yixun.

Your sister will be fine.

-Okay. I'll get going then. Bye-bye. -Yixun.

Take this back.

Bye-bye.

Mom.

Mom, I...

It's okay. Don't say a word.

Are you okay, sis?

Yixun, where were you last night?

Why didn’t you come home?

I...

Shujing, let Yichen get some rest.

Let's get some fresh air. I need to talk to you.

Thank God Dr. Wang saved me.

Sis, did you have a fight with Mom?

Why?

Mom found out about Du Xiuqi and me.

I just want to fight for my love.

Do you dare to?

Love gives us the strength.

She was coughing so badly.

That's never happened before.

Tell me about Yichen’s condition.

I want the truth.

She’s panting and coughing

because her pulse is weak and her lungs aren't functioning properly.

Yichen’s illness has worsened greatly.

Her pulse is completely abnormal.

Blue-black cyanosis may appear

on the tips of her limbs next.

Her body can’t withstand any more external shocks.

If a relapse of this occurs,

there may be more serious effects.

We may not be...

so lucky next time it happens.

Tell me how much longer she can live.

Mom, you used to wonder why Yixun and I are exceptionally close.

It’s because we don’t have friends.

You blame yourself for conceiving two children with heart defects.

But we don't belong to you.

I have grown up. Let me handle my own life.

You can finally be free!

You don’t know what we want.

-We want to play too. -My mom says I can't play with you

because you have infectious diseases.

Your dad died because of the disease.

Let's go home and I'll play with you, okay?

You don’t know what we want.

Sorry that I'm late.

-Why are you late today? -You’re late, Xun.

Sorry. I came from the hospital. My sister was sent there last night.

My mom and I stayed till morning.

-What happened to her? -Is she okay?

She’s fine. She’ll be discharged in a few days.

What’s wrong with her?

She... fainted suddenly, but she’s all right now.

-It must be anemia. Good that she’s fine. -Yeah.

-Good that she’s fine. -I’ll get to work.

How was your date with Tong?

Forget it.

Good morning, Tong.

-Why are you late? -Sorry.

-It wasn’t intentional last night. -I asked why you’re late today.

What's the matter with you?

-You sound so angry. -I'm not.

No? Your face stinks.

Xun’s sister was hospitalized last night. Xun just came from the hospital.

Is that true?

What's that expression on your face?

-Do you think she’s lying? -Isn’t that the case?

Oh, please.

Would anyone curse their family member?

Can't you think with your brain? Are you a fool?

Xun.

How's your sister?

She's fine now.

Last night, you...

What is it?

Never mind. Forget it.

-Hi. -Hello.

Is Yichen off today?

-Don't you know that she quit? -Huh?

Hi, Xiuqi.

Where are you? I couldn’t contact you all day.

I’m in the hospital.

Huh? Hospital? What happened to you?

It’s not me, but my sister.

She had a heart attack.

I’ve been looking after her for a few days.

By the way, can you come out now?

Sure.

Of course I can.

Our usual meeting place, okay? Bye-bye.

-Why do you look so pale? -Really?

Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well.

Don't get too tired. How's your sister?

-Huh? -Your sister.

Oh, she's fine. She'll be discharged tomorrow.

Weren’t you doing well in your job? Why did you quit?

Mom told me to quit so that I don't get too tired.

But your job is so relaxing.

But she’s my mom.

Your mom dotes on you so much.

Of course. I’m my mom’s precious daughter.

Let’s go.

-Where to? -I’ll take you to a special place.

What’s special here?

The special thing lies inside here.

The shop owner provides this book

to allow people to voice their thoughts in it.

Interesting. Look at this.

Someone likes the girl in the shop and he left a note here.

I wonder who it is.

Interesting, right?

-I often came here alone. -Really? Let me see what you wrote.

September 21st. The weather's cloudy, a slight drizzle outside.

My world brightened up because of the smile

of the girl at the bookshop, Du Xiuqi.

-Do you still remember? -Of course I do.

Someone stole a book that day. You braved the rain and caught him.

You followed me too and got soaked through.

You caught him but let him off later.

LIANG YICHEN, I WANT US TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER, DU XIUQI

Your turn.

...TOGETHER FOREVER...

Write something.

Don’t you have anything to say?

I’m not writing it.

Tong.

Are you angry?

I'm sorry.

Last night wasn't intentional.

It's fine that you didn't show up, but why give it to Jingjing?

Do you know how embarrassed I was?

Okay, I'll forgive you this time. Don't do it again.

Did something important come up last night?

I...

Tell me. Give me your explanation.

I wasn't feeling well last night and...

So...

Why should I tell you everything? You're not my mom.

You're right. I'm no one special to you. I shouldn't have asked.

-It's always like this. -Why do they always do this?

This is what celebrities do. Forget it.

Leo.

Leo...

What are your next plans?

Leo, you were seen frequenting pubs and hooking up with girls.

You’re often drunk too, is that true?

That's private. I don't need to answer.

Leo, do you have one-night stands? Any related experiences?

Why must you be so nosy? Can’t you ask sensible questions?

Leo, we heard you’re composing songs now. When will you release them?

-Leo... -Leo, wait a moment. Leo...

Leo!

Are you Liang Yixun’s colleague?

It’s you.

Why isn’t Yixun with you?

Sir, it’s business hours. Of course, she’s at the nursery.

Unlike some celebrity, who’s idling around in broad daylight.

She went to work today? That’s good.

Wait a minute.

Why do you ask?

She’s fit enough to work today, so I guess she has recovered.

What do you mean?

Take extra care of her if you can.

Xun has always been weak.

Are you insane? Why are you cursing her health?

Yixun fell ill at my home last night.

She seemed to be writhing in tremendous pain.

What? Xun was with you last night?

I’ve never encountered a patient as mischievous as you before.

I’m sorry. Please stop nagging. I won’t do it again.

Do you want to be discharged?

If you do, listen to me.

Yes, Dr. Wang.

Please give me a hand when my mom comes later.

-Please. -Why did you sneak out then?

-Dr. Wang. -I won’t help you.

Yichen, where did you go just now?

I...

The patient in Room 308 asked to know about her condition.

Shall we go there?

Let's go.

Dr. Wang.

Mom likes coffee without sugar.

Here, coffee without sugar.

You did that on purpose.

Yichen doesn’t know how to take care of herself.

You are no better.

How can they relax when you don’t?

FAIRYTALE NURSERY

Xun, are the flower pots

-ready for delivery? -Yes.

What is this bottle doing here?

Didn’t you give it to Leo on his concert day?

Leo gave it back to me.

He gave it back? When did you meet up with him?

So you stood me up because of him.

Xun, are you serious about this?

Leo is a superstar. He’s not like us.

He’s surrounded by tons of beauties.

He's probably playing you.

You don’t know him. Don’t say that.

Don’t you read the papers? Celebrities’ relationships never last.

They don’t go for everlasting love.

Why are you against Leo?

I’m not. I’m merely stating the facts.

Xun, innocent young girls are easily deceived.

I seem to be able to read into his songs.

Am I thinking too much?

His music sounds like he is crying in his heart.

CONTACTS

YIXUN

Your call has been transferred to the voice mailbox.

Fees will be deducted after the beep, or hang up to end the call.

I’m wasting my time listening to your emotionless music.

In Taiwan, it all depends on the look.

Why bother about composing?

Just be the pop star you are, okay?

Since fans prefer songs like this,

why must I insist on composing?

Should I just listen to Peter?

I can just be an pop singer and free myself from frustrations.

How have you been?

You nearly passed out the other day.

I’m fine.

Are you troubled?

No. I'm just thinking of something.

Is it about your work?

I’m tired of being called a pop star.

I’m trying hard to prove myself.

I even tried songwriting

in the hopes that people would pay greater attention to my music.

But right now, I have no confidence.

Why? You’ve always been confident in yourself.

Why do you say that?

When we were kids, you protected and encouraged me.

You don’t admit defeat easily.

People change.

There are many sides to a person.

Come. I’ll take you to a great place.

Come here.

This is the place?

Yes. When you’re feeling down, light the fireworks

and send your blues away.

They'll turn into beautiful fireworks and you'll feel better.

It's beautiful.

Make a wish...

Fireworks are beautiful.

In a flash, they vanish.

Life is short, but if it could be like fireworks

and fade out in such beauty,

that’d be a kind of happiness too.

Is it because of the song you wrote?

I listened to it at home. It’s good.

Don’t try to comfort me.

No one wants it.

Why?

It's useless to tell you. You won’t understand.

True, I’m not music critic, but...

maybe I’m just thinking too much.

Your music sounds like you're weeping.

Is there something that made you sad?

You don’t know me!

What makes you say that?

Why are you so upset?

Music reveals the true feelings in your heart.

That’s the real you.

No one wants your music?

Maybe the person who said that

-doesn’t like lonely music. -Shut up!

Don’t act as if you know.

It's not like you know me.

We’ve met only a few times. Don't act as if you can save me.

Do not be so melodramatic, okay? Please don’t!

As if I’m so pathetic.

Why do you have to twist my kind intentions?

Why can’t you accept other people’s concern for you?

I didn’t grow up in a normal world either.

It’s no use hiding and moping in your ivory tower.

I still have to face my life.

Qingchuan, what can I do for you?

I want to build a greenhouse.

What's the greenhouse for?

It’s to grow lavender.

Fool.

Excuse me, where is your boss?

-He’s in a meeting over there. -Thanks.

Excuse me.

-Excuse me. -What is it?

This CD...

It’s Leo’s composition.

It’s very special.

Please listen to it.

You are...

I... I’m his fan.

Sorry, I’m busy.

Will you please listen to it?

It’s very important to him.

He’s also very talented.

Sorry, I'm busy. I really have no time to waste.

Anyway, this is not the way we gather songs.

Please. I know it’s rude of me.

But I wanted to give it to you personally.

Please listen to it. It’s good.

-Please. -Hey, Peter.

I’ll call you back later, bye.

-David. -Peter.

Leo is really something.

His fan brought his CD here, strongly recommending his work.

Aren't you his manager?

Aren’t you that girl?

You’re Leo's manager, aren’t you?

Please tell him to listen to Leo’s songs.

David, I'm sorry about this.

You go ahead, I’ll deal with it.

But... please don’t tell anyone about this.

Why did you let him go? Give it to him.

Give that to me.

Isn’t this Leo’s demo CD?

-Yes. -How did you get it?

Your lavender lover is unbelievable.

I’ve been in this business for years.

I've never been so embarrassed before. I’m really...

Damn it!

I have an extremely bad day whenever I see that girl.

Do you know what she did today?

She took your CD to the record company and tried to get people to listen to it.

The producer of the company

was laughing at me.

Are your friends this ill-mannered?

Why did you give this to her?

Fortunately, I was there today.

If someone finds out

about these rejected songs

and gives them to the media,

you'll be in big trouble, you know.

Hey!

Also, please remember your status.

Don’t get too close with your fans. Keep your distance from them.

Don’t get yourself into trouble, okay?

Keep it to yourself.

Wel...

come.

Is Liang Yixun here?

She’s out back.

Leo.

I failed at the record company.

How else can I help him?

What brings you here?

-What's the matter? -Why did you do that?

You took my songs to a record company?

Do you think I need your help?

I just want to help.

Stop being so naive.

You think that will help me?

You’re not helping me.

You’re embarrassing me.

Don't come to me again.
