If a couple’s notion of Heaven,

Is like a heart-warming barrier

Imprisoning your dreams,

Is happiness akin to a metal-barred window?

The bird has lost its internal compass for the south.

If you aspire to travel into the sky,

And long for a pair of wings

Releasing you to soar up high,

Roses should not accompany your feathered wings.

Obeying ageing properties of time,

If romance has morphed into a leash,

I’m willing to choose to return to a life of solitude for your sake.

If lingering touches have morphed into chains,

It is time to discard the vows.

There is a kind of love called letting go,

Forsaking a long life of romance for love.

If us being together made you forsook everything,

Let true love spirit me away.

For your sake, I must lose you.

Cruelly putting on an act to hurt you.

Leaving you for your sake.

Leaving without ever letting go

There is a kind of love called letting go,

Forsaking a long life of romance for love.

If us being together made you forsook everything,

Let true love spirit me away.

There is a kind of love called letting go,

Let love end the dreams of a life-long romance.

If my departure lets you gain everything,

Let true love steer me away, and initiate break-up.

Love in the forlorn city

Episode 8

Hello.

Hello? I wanted to ask if Mr. Yang is here.

Mr. Yang is not here right. Why don't you leave a message.

When he comes back I'll let him know.

You are?

I am the manager Zhou Yu Qing.

If it's anything about business, you can chat to me?

Oh. It's doesn't involve the company. It's personal.

I'll call back later.

Why are you touching my stuff without asking me first?

I saw your desk was a mess, so I just wanted to tidy it up for you.

We agreed that we would respect (give) each other space.

Have you ever seen me touch your stuff?

And it's not like you didn't know I hate people touching my stuff.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to offend you.

I just really don't like it when people touch my stuff.

It's fine. I understand.

The document you wanted is here.

If there's nothing you need, I'll go.

Thanks.

Oh yeah, earlier a woman called for you.

She had some personal matters to discuss with you.

I told her to leave a message, but she didn't and just hang up.

It's probably one of my friends just messing with me.

If it's like that then, I'll go.

No problem, no problem.

Trust me, I'll handle it tomorrow.

Trust me.

Leave it to us to handle.

How about you come and find me tomorrow?

Okay, I'll be there. Alright?

Alright, OK. See you soon.

Get the socket wretch.

Bring over the equipment.

Hello?

I know.

My car broke down, it's being fixed.

OK, OK.

What a coincidence.

Yeah.

- Car repair? - Yes.

Yours?

No, it's a company car.

Why are you here?

I got fired from the other job, so I'm working here.

Is Xin Tong doing good?

Same as before.

Yan Fei, take a look at this car.

Coming. I have to get back to work.

- Chan, here. - Thank you.

Yan Fei, come over here.

Chan, I'm just going to help over there.

- If there's anything, call for me. - Okay, go.

Master.

Yan Fei, today you're going to have to work over time.

The client needs to use this car tomorrow.

Get your things ready.

Yeung will come and help in a minute.

Yu Qing, Yu Qing.

The information you gave me, something seems to be wrong.

I think there is a calculation error.

Please fix it, I need it before you leave today.

OK. I'm sorry.

You seem to lack concentration.

No, but I don't feel so good.

How do you feel?

It's nothing. I think if I rest a bit I'll feel better.

How about this?

You don't have come with me to meet the clients.

You should go home a rest.

Okay.

Yan Fei, you clean up the car then, we're leaving first.

Okay.

The workers left?

Yeah, they left earlier.

You here to pick up your car?

A bit late now.

You fixing this car?

Yeah.

This looks just like your old car.

Why? Looks really familiar, right?

That's right, this car use to be mine.

This afternoon a client brought it over for us to fix.

This was your old car?

Then, who does this belong to?

I don't even know.

Someone with no taste in cars.

Look at it, there's so much rubbish in it.

Looks horrible.

There's no point being like that, what's lost is lost.

Did you know?

Back then, this was my favorite car.

It was my best companion.

Maybe it...

Maybe it misses me too.

So it came to visit.

Want to ride it with me?

You look really exhausted.

Very busy recently?

Yes, quite.

Looking at you.

You seem to enjoy your current job.

I get to meet a lot of different people.

And we can help them start their future.

Why wouldn't I like it?

You mentioned the B&B, when is it opening?

As I say,

dreams are dreams and reality is reality.

No matter how big your dream is, we still come back to reality.

Look at me now, how happy I am.

My dream will become reality.

I wish your dream will come true.

Thank you.

I've been very worried this year.

Why is it you won't face yourself?

What are you talking about?

Why won't I face myself?

You keep hiding yourself.

Being very aware of what everything thinks of you.

What are you talking about?

Do I seem the type that would mind what others think?

How about you?

Have you been facing yourself?

- I'm asking you. - And I'm also asking you.

Of course I have been.

I'm living okay.

Then, that's good.

I'm a bit hungry, let's eat dinner together.

Go ahead. Why aren't you eating? I'll treat.

You are completely different from how you were in the past.

Really?

I'm a taxi driver now, can't do anything else.

Don't say that.

It's okay, no need to console me.

I don't need anyone to pity me right now.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm not home. I'm out right now.

Eating with my friend. With Yan Fei.

OK. When I get back, I'll call you.

Bye bye.

Is it Yang Gian?

He's good, looking after you so much.

We are already engaged.

Really? Congratulations.

I'm going to the restroom.

Miss. The check please.

The total is $543.

Is there a problem?

Wait a second. Let me check.

- Is there a mistake? - No, no problem.

Let me.

- How much is it? - The total is $543.

- Thank you. - Could you wait just a moment?

I'm sorry. I didn't bring enough money.

Next time, I'll treat you.

No thanks.

I don't know when I'll see you again.

That's true, maybe we shouldn't meet again.

I'm sorry, you even had to bail me out.

It's no problem.

Maybe this is fate.

Perhaps I was never meant to meet you again.

Every time we meet, something bad happens.

Sorry.

Do you remember?

You once told me

we are from two different worlds.

It seems like you weren't wrong.

Alright then. Bye.

Yan Fei.

I noticed that Xin Tong really likes you.

Treat her well.

Bill, please.

Thank you.

Stop looking so down.

You've just lost your job.

We all learn from mistakes.

You don't have to worry about finding a job,

there's so many openings.

Look at this one, they are looking for an office assistant.

Requirements aren't high, you can do it.

- And this one has... - Okay, okay, okay...

Don't you have things to do?

I m the one looking for a job. I'll handle it.

Do your own things.

But I think helping you

will be more for me.

I don't mean anything by it.

I just want to help you

to pass this obstacle.

Xin Tong,

when I really needed someone, I met you.

You've helped me a lot.

I'm really thankful.

But I don't have anything to give back to you.

I think

I shouldn't bother you anymore.

What's that supposed to mean?

I want to change locations.

Where do you have to go?

I don't know, maybe to Wu Zhou.

But why? So sudden.

I have already decided.

But...

Xin Tong, you are a great girl.

With you looking after me, I was very lucky.

I'm leaving. Take care.

Hey! You're just leaving like that?

You promised me something and you still haven't done it.

What is it?

You promised to take me to the fairground.

You didn't have time before, you do now.

If you do what you promised, then I will let you go.

Look over there.

We're here now. Stop looking so grumpy.

We agreed you will go on whatever I go on. Let's go.

Thank you. Please hold this.

I want to go on that one.

What?

Ferris wheel.

I don't want to.

Why not?

We agreed that what I play you have to play.

No reason really.

Because me and Yu Qing used to go on it.

So you can go on it with her but not with me?

I didn't mean that, I just...

I don't want to think about the things in the past.

I know you both went on the ferris wheel.

So we have to go on it today. Come on.

- Don't force me. - Come on.

Don't be like this. Why do this?

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Then why have you got your eyes shut?

I don't.

Why is it so high up. Will we fall?

I don't want to play now.

Why not?

Now you say you don't want to, you made me come on here.

Do think I really like to come on here?

I heard a rumor

when someone is really scared,

they want to be with someone they love.

I just want you to like me.

You aren't you saying anything?

Hey, say something. Hey!

Ah! So high up. What should I do?

I don't want to play, I'm scared.

It's okay, it's okay...

We will be back down shortly.

Don't be afraid.

I'm leaving.

You have to take good care of yourself.

Remember your meal times.

Don't eat sometimes and forget to eat sometimes.

The weather is getting colder.

I've placed your thicker clothing inside.

Be careful. I'm leaving.

Jerk. Dummy.

I won't like you. I don't want to see you again.

Jerk.

Who is it?

Me.

Just a minute, I'll be right down.

Why did you come back?

I'm really hungry.

Can you make me a bowl of noodles?

You go when you want, you come back when you want.

Who do you take me for?

I have thought it through.

I want to be together with you.

What?

I said I had thought it through.

I want to be together with you.

What did you say? I didn't hear it.

I said I thought it through. I want to...

Do you want to wake up my dad?

Will you be with me?

Come in.

What do you think? Do you like it?

How come you don't even discuss buying a house with me?

That day, I saw the house and fell in love with it.

I didn't even have time to tell you and placed a deposit on it.

We're getting married soon.

I planned to live at my house together.

But now, you've suddenly purchased your own house.

I don't even know what that is supposed to mean.

Yang Gian, I want to live with my mom.

You know her health is not good.

And we're going to get married soon.

So I want to bring her here so I can take care of her.

That I understand.

But you purchasing a house, such a big thing and you didn't even tell me about it.

It's just that it seems to me...

I'm sorry.

Forget it. You already bought it. What else can we do?

Yesterday, I was really worried.

I don't even know how to put it.

I'm a man. I shouldn't be so jealous,

but I'm not a saint.

I get jealous and envious. You go out with a man so late.

He is also your ex-boyfriend.

I can't pretend that nothing happened.

But there is really nothing going on between us.

You have to trust me, okay?

Of course I trust you.

But I am your fiancee,

I hope you can put yourself in my position.

Don't contact him again. Okay?

Really...

Really.

But you said the same thing last time.

I know.

We're about to get married.

We should have faith in one another.

We should give each other more trust.

That way, we can attain happiness.

Do you know

that I feel like I'm dreaming...?

Around a year ago,

I didn't know what the future held.

But now, I'm about to get married.

And have my own home.

The feeling is so surreal.

What? You still don't believe?

It's not that I don't believe, but it seems that...

happiness has come too fast.

Silly girl.

I'm going downstairs to get 2 bottles of water.

Hello. How do you do?

Hello?

Yang Gian.

Just now, someone called you. It was a woman.

- I said "hello" once and she hung up. - Really?

It's nothing.

Why don't you call them back?

If there is something, they will call back.

Give me a tour of the new house.

I totally forgot.

What's up with you?

So bad.

What is it up to?

What is it up to?!

It's not easy for you to have free time to spend with me and you're sleeping.

Sorry, I was looking for work all day.

Tired?

Come. Sit properly.

- I'll give you a massage. - Thanks.

Is it comfortable?

Next time you look for a job,

look for a more comfortable one.

It's even better if you find one that gives you more time to spend with me.

Okay?

Silly. Do you think it's that easy looking for a job?

Let me help you find one.

You help me find?

Find what?

Can you find a position as a chairman for me? Where can you find it?

You want to be a chairman? You're out of your mind.

What's so good about being a chairman?

What is it up to now?

You didn't see it.

Who is this person? I don't even know them.

- Pretty? - Somewhat.

Yu Qing, would it put you in an uncomfortable position?

No it won't. Actually, I was thinking about it previously as well.

I also mentioned it to Yan Fei.

But do you think he would take the offer?

He probably would.

We're doing this for his good and not plotting something evil.

Anyways, if we already planned everything,

how can he refuse?

Yu Qing, am I being too selfish?

How so? You're doing this for Yan Fei's well-being.

I'm saying I'm bothering you,

but we can't see that it's you helping him.

I'm helping you right now. I'm not helping Yan Fei.

Don't worry. Really.

There's no problem with this matter.

Thanks a lot!

Why are you being so polite with me?

So, how are you?

I'm still the same.

I'm a person with not too many ambitions in life.

I just want to be a happy little woman.

Be a stay at home woman

and cook for the one I love. Stuff like that.

That's good. Yan Fei needs someone like you by his side.

Hopefully so.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

Although I'm really happy spending everyday with Yan Fei,

I feel that something is not right.

I'm worried that he would think I'm not smart enough.

Silly girl. Why are you thinking such silly thoughts?

Do you know that Yan Fei is with you because

you are good to him. You wholeheartedly think for him.

You are the person that can truly bring him happiness.

Understand?

Now you can rest assure.

Mr. Wu, are you satisfied with our design?

Satisfied. I'm very satisfied.

Miss Zhou is the business' best designer,

If I'm not satisfied with your design,

then how can I be satisfied with other companies' designs?

Don't worry. I will take care of everything.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Excuse me? I already told you that

if the driver left then find a new one.

Such a small matter you're bothering me with.

How do you guys work?

Garbage.

Yesterday, you ate dinner with Mr. Wu?

Yeah.

In the future, you must be careful around him.

He's not a good guy.

I know. I don't like him either.

Yet you ate dinner with him?

I wanted him to help me with something.

Help with what?

I looked for him to help me find a job for Yan Fei.

I'm sorry I didn't discuss it with you.

Don't be mad, okay?

The issue at hand is that not you didn't discuss it with me.

You shouldn't help Yan Fei to look for a job.

But right now, Yan Fei really needs others to help him.

I can't turn a blind eye.

There's already no relation between you two.

If you help him, he would think that you still have feelings for him.

Don't worry.

I already clarified it with him.

I won't let him know that I'm the one helping him.

Besides, I'm your fiancee and he has a girlfriend.

Why do you always question our relation?

I'm not questioning you.

But have you taken account of my feelings?

If I were you right now,

and I still took care of my ex-girlfriend, how would you feel?

Forget it. Let's not talk about these things.

When we pick up your mom later,

don't let her see us like this.

Mom...

Yu Qing.

- I missed you to death. - You've gotten thinner.

I missed you to death.

Mom, you've gotten thinner.

Mom. (this is) Yang Gian.

- Auntie, nice to meet you. - Nice to me you too.

This past year, you must have suffered a lot.

I didn't suffered. With mom here,

however difficult it was, it was all worth it.

Silly girl.

You're about to get married, you won't stay with me.

Why can't I?

Right now, we'll being living really close,

if you miss me, you can live with me.

I can't be with you forever.

Mom, why are you always talking like that?

When we meet, you always talk about bad things. I'll get angry.

People have to die eventually.

You're doing it again. Saying such things.

Every time we meet, you talk about bad things, I'll get angry.

Alright, I won't talk anymore...

Mom, what's wrong...?

- Are you in pain? - It's nothing.

Mom, we're going to the hospital tomorrow.

I saved up a lot of money.

It's for you to treat your illness.

Don't worry, okay?

Tomorrow, treat it like analysis exam

to see what is different with the hospital.

- Go to sleep. - Okay.

Sleep tight.

- I'm sorry. - It's nothing.

Thanks.

Bai Ge.

Aren't you suppose to be in Beijing?

I just... I just came back.

I've been back for around a month.

How do you do, Dr. Jiang.

- Silly Girl. - Bai Ge.

Auntie just went in for an examination?

Here. Have some water.

Thanks.

Things with Auntie are still not looking up?

Yeah.

Don't worry. This time, we will do a precise examination.

There's me so don't worry.

Thank you, Bai Ge.

Silly girl. For some reason,

this time around, meeting up, you seem different.

What's different?

You've matured a lot.

Listening to you speak like that,

it seems like there's more than one meaning behind it.

You may mean that I've become older.

Or that you've always saw me as a little girl.

No it's just that back then,

I thought you were a little girl who were innocent.

But now, you seem like a super woman.

Oh right, where do you work now?

You even have business cards?

This is my business card.

A big manager. Awesome.

Don't exaggerate.

I'm just a wedding planner who plans weddings.

Good.

Bai Ge, when you get married,

I will plan it for you from start to finish for free.

It'll be a while, I still don't have a girl friend yet.

- You're lying. - It's true.

Ph. D. Doctor in Chief.

And you're handsome.

There's a lot of girls that go after you.

The kind of girls you are talking about, I have not encountered yet.

Why don't you introduce some to me?

You said it. Leave it to me.

The ring... is really beautiful.

Are you married?

Just engaged.

With Yan Fei?

No.

Yang Gian, my boss.

Silly girl, sometimes I think that time

really passes by fast.

Only a year passed.

In my memory, you were still a little girl yet,

now you're getting married.

You've finally said what you wanted to say.

You still don't admit that you always saw me as a little girl.

No it's not like that, but every time I close my eyes,

in my memory, you were a messy girl

chasing after me calling "Bai Ge... Wait for me".
