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 10

Why didn't you answer the door and let me in?

Wake up.

Wake up, quickly.

Can't you see I'm sleeping?

Sorry, I'm here to apologize. Don't be mad, okay?

I'll take to somewhere.

Where are we going?

You'll know when we get there.

Let's go.

Here.

I don't want it.

Are you still mad at me?

Fine, don't eat it.

You met up with Yu Qing?

It isn't that big of a deal really.

It will be okay once we talk it out.

I just don't want to owe her anything.

You're not with her anymore, why do you mind so much?

Do you still like her?

You don't want to owe her anything

because you still have feelings for her.

You still really like her, right?

Have you said enough?

You're so annoying.

Sorry.

Don't be angry.

I'll eat it, I will.

Okay, don't cry anymore.

Let's go and play.

Come on.

Don't be cross.

Let's break up.

Even though I have liked you for a long time,

but I don't want to be with you

when your heart is elsewhere.

One heart cannot be given to two people.

If you still love Yu Qing,

then why don't I leave?

I will wish you both the best with all my heart.

But you have to become a man again.

Bring back the courage you had before.

Alright?

You look so beautiful.

Thanks.

About a year or so ago...

I remember I tried on a wedding dress for Su Juan.

Time has past so quickly.

Now, it's my turn.

Do you think we will be happy?

Believe me, we will be very happy.

Excuse me, is this place up for rent?

Can't you see for yourself?

How much is it to rent?

Five thousand a month,

rent is collected every three months.

First you have to deposit three months rent.

Five thousand?

But right now... I don't have that much cash on me.

No money? Are you joking around?

Wait, how about this?

I'll give you the rent of a month first?

There's no such policy.

Is this house mine or yours?

Must be joking.

If I tell you, you might not believe

this house actually used to belong to me.

Nowadays, people lie so easily.

Really, it's true, I haven't told a lie.

The decorations and furniture inside are all made by me,

you can test me about it?

I thought we had agreed to break up?

Why are you here to find me?

What is the matter?

Please can I borrow some money?

Borrow...

We have nothing between us, why should I lend it to you?

I know, don't worry about it then.

How much do you need?

Five thousand.

That much!?

Is it because of Yu Qing?

You told her everything?

Why are you so foolish?

You don't even know how she feels about all of this.

You...

I ask you, why would she want you?

I know, I don't want to bother her,

but seeing her like she is now

I just can't.

So, I want to do something for her.

But how do you know she will accept it?

I don't know, I just want to try my best.

It's okay, I will think of some way to solve this.

See you.

I thought those two places were quite nice just now.

What did you think?

What's wrong, you didn't like them?

No, Yang Gan.

There's something I want to discuss with you.

Can we arrange for the ceremony to be in the hospital my mom is in?

What?

You see how bad her condition is,

there is no way she can leave the hospital.

But I want her to see me at my wedding.

Is it possible?

I know your feeling at the moment,

but getting married is something important to us both,

I don't want think back and regret something about it.

How about this?

I'll send a car to pick up your mom

and get two nurses to accompany her?

You've mistaken me.

Mom's body is very frail,

I don't want her to have to go here and there.

She might not have the energy.

But it is unlucky to get married in a hospital.

Can you think about it from my point of view? And from my moms?

You have to see it from mine too,

I have a mom, relatives and friends too.

Getting married in a hospital, how can I explain to them?

But mom's case is different, she is severely ill,

it's not like you don't know it.

I understand, just listen to me...

Excuse me.

What?

Okay... I'll come back now.

I have to get back to work urgently, we'll talk about this later.

Xing Tong...

Xing Tong!

What? You trying to scared me to death?

I called for you twice already, what are you daydreaming for?

Go help me deposit this money.

Can't, busy.

Go, go now...

Hello Miss, how can I help?

I want to deposit.

Deposit? Please go to cashier 5.

Thank you.

Hi, how can I help you today?

Miss, did you want to deposit?

But I didn't bring identification.

You don't need identification to deposit,

just your card with your details on will be fine.

Sorry, I didn't bring it.

Then how about the account number?

Sorry, I have forgotten it.

I apologize, please come back again with the details.

Take it, remember to pay me back.

This money belongs to father.

Xing Tong.

What?

Thank you.

If she doesn't want you,

don't keep chasing.

Hurry and come back.

If it's too late, even I won't want you.

Don't always eat instant noodles,

they aren't good for you.

Tell me. Is it close to the end for mom?

Where's Yang Gan?

Bai Ge, you can go back to work.

Yu Qing, where did Yang Gan go?

You should have him by your side right now.

It's fine by myself.

How is your mother?

For now, she's near danger.

How can that be? She was fine a couple of days ago.

Yu Qing, I'm sorry about yesterday.

I want to apologize to you.

I though it through.

We can have the wedding near the hospital.

That way your mom will not have to travel that far.

What do you think?

Yang Gan. Let's get married tomorrow.

What?

Let's have the wedding tomorrow.

Didn't we agree on next month?

Why are you suddenly...

Let's have the wedding in mom's hospital room tomorrow, okay?

What are you saying?

For such an important thing, why didn't you discuss it with me first.

- You... - I'm not joking.

Yu Qing, don't fight with your temper.

I only wanted to pick a location that is appropriate for our wedding.

My request is not unreasonable.

Yang Gan. I'm begging you.

Let's just have the wedding in mom's hospital room tomorrow, okay?

Why do you keep repeating that?

I don't understand why you are always so stubborn on this matter.

Yang Gan. I've never begged you.

This is the first and last time.

If you agree on this,

I will do whatever you want in the future.

Did you plan to not marry me?

Zhou Yu Qing.

Do you really understand what kind of matter marriage is?

I don't know when you started being so inconsiderate.

Yang Gan. Let's just say I'm begging you.

Mom is seriously ill right now.

Tomorrow at 10am, I will wait for you at the hospital.

Yu Qing, have some water.

No, thanks.

- Yang Gan is not here yet? - He will not be here today.

Yu Qing. I'm not sure how to say this.

I just want to ask you one question.

Do you really love Yang Gan?

Let's not talk about this anymore.

I have already decided to marry him tomorrow.

Yan Fei.

Why are you here?

How do you know I live here?

Xin Tong told me.

What do you want?

I just wanted to tell you

that Yu Qing is going to marry Yang Gan tomorrow.

Yan Fei.

I'm worried about her being with Yang Gan,

so you have to help her.

I grew up with Yu Qing.

She is like family to me.

She's had a harsh life since childhood,

so I want a life of happiness for her.

I don't know how to say things, but I just don't like Yang Gan when I see him.

It's like he's hiding a lot of things.

I'm afraid Yu Qing will get hurt.

There's not point in telling me.

She has already decided.

Trust me.

She's only doing this for her mom's sake.

That's her business.

Do you really think you're not wrong?

If you'd tried harder in the beginning,

then Yu Qing would not be with this person right now.

That's right. I admit I was also wrong,

but I have already been punished accordingly.

You were punished? Then what about Yu Qing?

Are you just going to watch Yu Qing spend the rest of her life

with someone she doesn't love?

Yan Fei. I know you love Yu Qing,

so at this time you must do something for her.

That's all I have to say.

Come in.

Why are you standing? Sit.

Don't marry Yang Gan, okay?

Saying that at this time,

are you joking with me?

I'm not joking with you.

Give me another chance. Let's start over.

Alright?

There's no chance.

Why?

I have already agreed to marry him.

I have already forgiven him.

You forgave him...

He lied to you and you still forgave him?

When two people are together, they will have issues.

I think I can handle it.

You can handle what?

He lied to you and you still accept him.

Don't be so dumb, okay?

He is my fiancee.

We've been together for a year.

I'm not going to let go of him over such a small matter.

You wouldn't understand.

Yu Qing.

If... if you marry Yang Gan is because...

he can take care of you,

he can give you an even better life,

I can guarantee, I can also take care of you.

I know I am poor right now,

but I will try my best.

I will try my best to take care of you and bring you happiness.

Promise me.

Then where did you go a year ago?

Did you consider my feelings?

If I was that import to you,

then no matter what happened, you would have at least told me.

Why did you leave?

Did you know I waited for you all night at the inn?

I was like a lunatic, looking for you everywhere.

Why couldn't you face me?

Where were you then?

Did you consider my feelings?

What do you mean by saying such things to me now?

I was wrong...

I know... I know I hurt you.

I also know what I lost.

But I don't want to lose you now.

OK?

It's too late.

I have already rented the inn.

No matter what happens, I'll wait for you there.

I hope you will come. I'll be waiting.

Yu Qing.

What are you doing here?

I want mom to see me get married.

Yu Qing, please calm down, okay?

I'm very calm.

You all think I'm crazy.

I want mom to see me obtain happiness.

So even if she dies, she will die at peace.

This is the least I can do.

I don't care what other people will think of me.

Yu Qing.

Don't say anymore.

I'll wait here for Yang Gan.

When he arrives, we'll go in.

If you know, then why are you still standing there?

If you don't stop her, she will marry someone else.

If she really decides to marry someone else,

then I cannot stop her.

You cannot just stand by and watch her go down the wrong path.

Hurry and go.

Hurry and bring her back.

I've already gone.

But so what?

We just don't understand

what Yu Qing is truly feeling.

We cannot decide for her.

If she decides to marry Yang Gan, then it is her decision.

I will respect her decision.

Have some water.

Well then, eat a little?

You can't be like this, Yu Qing.

So long, making it hard for your health.

Yu Qing,

don't be like this.

Don't be so down.

He won't come.

I need to go in and accompany my mother.

Mother,

can you see?

Can you see me wearing a wedding dress?

Am I pretty?

I'm going to get married!

Mother, are you happy?

Mother, do you remember when I was small?

You always said:

This daughter, why is it every day she's so rough...

like such a tomboy?

Worried that later I wouldn't be able to get married?

Your glasses have fallen,

I can get married.

I'm going to get married!

Take a look, I'm going to get married.

Mother,

I finally found a loving person who loves me,

who I will always love too.

Someone to look after me.

He's really good at talking.

He's always talking to me, keeping me happy.

Just like when Father was like that to you too.

I feel really lucky.

Mother, can you hear me talking?

Mom...

Will you come today?

Yu Qing, I'm also sad by your mom's passing.

I came here especially to see you.

Yu Qing...

Don't touch me!

I know you must be angry that I didn't come this morning,

but I can explain. Listen to me.

Leave...

Mom already died. Why should you be here.

- Leave... - Don't be like that.

Listen to me.

It's not that I haven't thought of coming,

but by doing this it will just leave to everyone getting hurt.

Both of our personalities are strong.

If we wanted to be together one of us had to change.

I wanted to change to accommodate you,

I know I couldn't do it.

If we had gotten married today,

it would have been irresponsible of us.

- Don't you understand? - Yang Gan,

I have never begged you before.

Even if you had married me this morning

and then left me in the evening, each of us going our separate ways,

I wouldn't have cared or mind. But you couldn't even do that.

Did you know how important my mom was to me?

She was my only family.

I wanted her to see me attain happiness.

Did you know she was crying when she died?

I really hate myself.

Yang Gan, I really hate you.

Hurry and leave.

- Calm down. Listen to me. - Leave... Leave.

Don't be like that.

Yu Qing...

- You're okay? - Leave...

Leave.

Congratulations on your marriage.

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 aging properties of time

If romance has morphed into a leash

Our ruling is that:

You, Zhou Yu Qing,

injured someone...

Because you pleaded guilty,

your sentence is reduced to 1 year.

Forsaking a long life of romance for love

If us being together made you forsake everything,

Let true love spirit me away

There is a kind of love called letting go

Forsaking a long life of romance for love

If my departure lets you gain everything,

Let true love spirit me away

There is a kind of love called letting go

Forsaking a long life of romance for love

If my departure lets you gain everything,

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