Xiaohua.

Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?

I didn't dare to tell you.

I'm afraid...

I'm afraid you'll think I'm a bad person.

You're not a bad person.

Your mom's death was an accident.

It has nothing to do with you.

Really?

Then, why do I hear ringing sounds?

Why do I feel scared?

I haven't done anything wrong.

Why do I feel scared?

Xiaohua.

Miss Liu.

You said that the ringing sounds

represent my love for my mother.

I don't think so.

I think

I don't love her at all.

I have even hurt her with a knife.

There's no way you can help me.

You can't help me.

I'm a sinner.

I'm a sinner!

Xiaohua.

(I don't love her at all.)

(I have even hurt her with a knife.)

Put the knife down.

(I'm a sinner.)

(I'm a sinner!)

(Your Script Sucks!)

It's been over a month since Shanshan joined the production team.

Now, he's finally back.

He helped you to settle all those troubles.

How about treating him to a meal?

(Your Script Sucks!)

I said, how about treating Shanshan to a meal?

If you want to treat him, go ahead.

I'm not joining.

Before Shanshan joined the production team,

he had mentioned to me many times that the three of us

haven't gotten together for a long time.

Let's have a meal together, alright?

I said I'm not joining.

Do you think what you're doing is okay?

Whether it's okay or not, I'm not going.

There's no way I'm going.

You have become so unreasonable now.

If you think I'm being ridiculous, then just ignore me.

Is there something else?

Did you resign from the TV station?

No, I'm going on a business trip.

Look, I have my luggage all ready with me.

I came here to give you some reminders.

Shan.

You must protect Xia well.

Zhang Shun hasn't been arrested yet.

I've been worried all this time that this jerk might

cause more trouble.

Do you understand?

Bro, rest assured.

I'll protect Liu Xia by all means.

Okay.

Bro.

Where are you going in such a rush?

I'm going to... Guangzhou.

Guangzhou?

I thought about it, and I think I can't go on like this anymore.

Last time, I have disappointed both Jin Ran and Xia.

Anyway, I can't be like this anymore.

Whether it is for Jin Ran, or for myself,

I have to push myself this time.

Yeah.

Push myself.

Is there anything that I can help you with?

Fine.

I'll not hide it from you anymore.

Actually, I'm going to Guangzhou

to produce an animation series with my friend.

Indeed, we're lacking in some start-up capital.

I've sold my car, but it's still not enough.

- Because the money... - Bro, just tell me.

How much do you need?

Around 500,000.

Send me your account number.

I'll transfer it to you when I get home tonight.

Shan.

I haven't even finished my words, and you've agreed to it.

If you asked to borrow money from me,

that means you must be facing some difficulties, right?

Yeah.

Fine, I'll not waste my words anymore.

Shan.

I'll try my best to pay it back to you as soon as possible.

Take care of yourself.

Everyone is really worried about you.

Thanks, Shan.

Mom.

You shouldn't have signed that contract.

You force me to study every day and impose so many demands on me.

You're just placing all your hopes on me,

so that I can pay the debts for you when I grow up.

I've never thought that way before.

When can life like this come to an end?

I can't stand staying in this house anymore.

Xia.

What are you doing?

Xia.

You're so young.

And you want to run away from home?

Put down your bag quickly.

- No. - Put down your bag.

Let go of me.

Liu Xia.

Are you trying to force me to death?

You're the one forcing me to death!

Liu Xia.

What happened?

Liu Xia.

Liu Xia.

(Every word that Xiaohua said)

(struck a chord with me.)

(I don't know why she appeared)

(with the idea of killing her mother.)

(Liu Xia.)

(You have to stay strong.)

(You must help Xiaohua overcome this, )

(and you also have to find your way out.)

Come and have breakfast.

You woke up so early today.

Has something happened to you recently?

Why do you ask?

Yesterday, I heard you crying alone in your room.

No, I didn't cry.

It rained last night.

Maybe you misheard.

Indeed, I've been feeling a bit down lately

because of Xiaohua's unstable condition.

What's wrong with Xiaohua?

Why are you so nervous?

Nothing, I was just asking.

It's not a big deal.

Just like when you're working and something doesn't go well,

then you'll be in a bad mood too, right?

It's completely normal.

Enough of that. You should have your breakfast.

Do you want milk?

It's okay.

I'll go pour a glass of milk.

Where are the cups that were placed here?

I accidentally broke them.

I've already ordered them online, but they haven't arrived yet.

Then, I'll use this one.

Mr. Qi.

We're about to leave work.

You may leave first, I'll lock up later.

By the way, Mr. Qi.

Why haven't we seen Miss Liu lately?

We all miss her, especially the delicious food she brings.

Mr. Qi, I'm leaving now.

Alright.

The ringing sound that you always hear.

That's your mother calling you from the other world.

She knows everything.

Don't think that hiding from it

will absolve you of your sins.

Some evil

is hidden in the heart.

Liu Xia!

Stop it!

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Liu Xia.

Did you have a nightmare?

Don't be afraid, I'm here.

I'm right here.

I'm fine now.

What's wrong with you?

It was just a nightmare.

Go ahead and continue writing your script.

I'll sleep.

Go ahead.

Alright, you go ahead and sleep.

I'll stay here with you for a while.

Mr. Cao, you're here.

What's wrong?

This guy, registered the copyright of Qi Lianshan's work, "Twilight".

I'm sorry, Mr. Cao.

I'm afraid that Huan Hui

cannot take up the project "Twilight" anymore.

Jia Zhen.

What exactly do you mean?

Tell me your conditions.

Mr. Cao, I like you being straight to the point.

Not even a single useless word is uttered.

Mr. Cao.

I want to be this project's executive producer

and the main screenwriter.

Besides, I also need a 20% profit share.

Jia Zhen, who do you think you are?

How dare you demand to be the executive producer?

This is a project entrusted by the film production company.

The screenwriter attribution requires permission from Qi Lianshan.

We don't need his permission.

The outline is already there.

For the rest, I'll find someone to write it.

Regarding the profit share, Mr. Cao, what are your opinions on that?

Jia Zhen, let me tell you, don't overstep your bounds!

Coco.

Give me some time.

I'll think about it.

No problem.

Here comes your consideration time again.

No problem. Take your time to consider.

Anyway, you can contact me anytime, alright?

I'll be going then.

Ms. Coco, goodbye.

No, bro.

Why are you such a coward now?

Leave this matter to Qi Lianshan to solve on his own.

I saw my mom.

On my way home,

during class,

and even when I'm sleeping.

She's wearing that red cardigan.

Her favorite one.

Xiaohua.

Control your emotions.

I really saw my mom.

I killed my mom.

She came back to seek revenge on me.

What should I do?

She came back to seek revenge on me.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Making mistakes is not scary.

It's about bravely admitting them

and seeking forgiveness from others.

You killed your mom, didn't you?

You killed your mom too, didn't you?

Let's stop lying to ourselves.

Only by admitting everything will you be able to

open up your own inner turmoil.

You hate your mom, right?

If you don't, how could you still not get over it

after so many years?

Because you dare not face it, dare not admit,

that you killed your mom.

That's not true.

That's not true.

Xiaohua, stop saying this.

That's not true.

We're all murderers.

We're all murderers.

You are a murderer.

You are a murderer!

We're all murderers.

We're all murderers!

Liu Xia.

(Shan)

You can't even take care of yourself,

and you're still thinking of saving others.

Why did you do this?

You've destroyed everything for me,

and you're asking me why I did this?

If you want revenge, come to me.

What's the point of doing this to Xiaohua?

She's innocent.

If I don't get her involved, how can I drag you into this?

You've gone crazy!

What did you do on the day your mom fell?

You made a mistake, and you should pay the price.

You're a murderer.

You're talking nonsense.

Someone saw it with his own eyes.

Do you know why your mental health issue

hasn't gotten better even after all these years?

Because you don't deserve to live.

Let go of me! Let me go!

Only when you die... Let go of me!

Your mom will be able to rest in peace.

Let go of me!

What are you doing?

Liu Xia.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Liu Xia.

Think carefully about what I said.

Get lost!

Liu Xia, let's go home.

Okay.

Okay.

What is actually going on?

Why did Yang Youli come and find you?

What are you hiding from me?

Stop asking.

Does it have anything to do with Xiaohua?

Ever since I returned from the business trip,

there's something off about you.

I don't know what exactly happened.

All I know is Xiaohua's condition has been fluctuating,

which has affected your mood.

But it's quite obvious now that your mood isn't the problem.

What's wrong with you?

I told you not to ask.

Can you please stop asking?

(I don't know how to tell you this.)

(The "Twilight" outline you sent me)

(has been in my inbox all along, )

(but I didn't expect)

(Jia Zhen to register the copyright for it.)

(Mr. Qi.)

(Jia Zhen claims that he wrote "Twilight", )

(and now he has come to our company)

(to blackmail using the copyright.)

(What should we do?)

Lianshan.

If Huan Hui sues Jia Zhen,

you won't be able to reconcile with Huan Hui either.

I know the two of you have a deep brotherly bond, so this isn't

a good solution.

We've decided to pause for now

and try to resolve the issue through personal connections.

Speak up.

Mr. Cao, is it true that if I give up the copyright, the authorship,

and the future remunerations, then this matter

can be resolved peacefully?

I know that Huan Hui has shown me kindness.

I won't do anything that harms Huan Hui's benefit,

but I also don't want anything to happen that would hurt my brother.

What's the point of you writing then?

"Twilight" is related to the cooperation

between Huan Hui and the film production company.

So, I won't evade any responsibility.

No matter what happens, I will take this film seriously

and finish writing it.

After all, it's a story I want to write.

And also,

lately, my girlfriend hasn't been feeling well.

I hope I can free up more time to be with her.

So, I don't have the energy to dwell on this matter.

(Resignation Letter) This is my resignation letter.

I'm leaving now.

You can't just leave like that.

Coco.

Lianshan.

Go ahead and attend to your tasks.

I'll talk to Coco for a while.

Thank you, Mr. Cao.

Qi Lianshan.

No.

Why did you let him leave, bro?

Coco.

Life is like a stage.

Where the spotlight shines, it will be bright.

Where it doesn't, darkness prevails.

It just takes one step to cross over to the other part.

But within that one step,

I've witnessed many scenarios where loved ones become enemies,

brothers turning against each other.

For Qi Lianshan, to make such a choice

is his most precious quality.

Go and bid him farewell.

Don't force him.

Qi Lianshan.

What's wrong?

I...

I might not be able to be the producer of "Twilight" anymore.

Why?

I have some urgent matters that require me to leave for a while.

Where are you going?

Back to France.

My mentor has a project that he wants me to assist with.

It's so sudden.

I've always wanted to say goodbye properly, but with this situation,

I didn't find the opportunity.

Will you come back?

Do you want me to come back?

Of course, I do.

I really hope you can be the producer of "Twilight", and I hope Kuan

can come and direct this film.

Then, the three of us can collaborate for the second time.

Thank you.

Why thank me?

We're good friends.

Take care.

Take care.

Well,

then I'll leave first.

Bye.

Xiaohua.

Xiaohua, wait a moment.

Why didn't you answer my calls?

Did Yang Youli contact you?

What did he say to you?

No matter what he told you, he's lying to you.

I reported him for commercial espionage.

So, he holds a grudge against me.

He's seeking revenge against me.

He's using you to retaliate against me.

Everything he told you is a lie.

Don't let him manipulate your mind, okay?

Can you please stop deceiving me?

I'm not deceiving you.

You can't even cure your own illness.

You can't even free yourself from it.

How can you help me get out of it?

Xiaohua.

My life is ruined!

Xiaohua.

Hello, Lai.

(Shanshan.)

(You need to take what I say seriously, okay?)

(There's no need to escalate some trivial matters)

(into a big fight.)

What's wrong?

(Couples living together)

(are bound to have some ups and downs.)

(Arguments are normal, too.)

(But let me tell you, as a man, )

(you must be considerate toward the woman.)

(Don't quarrel with her anymore, okay?)

Quarreling?

What do you mean by quarreling?

(Why did you guys)

(keep smashing things?)

(I can hear it clearly)

(from downstairs.)

(The noises are loud.)

Smashing things?

When did this start?

(Just recently.)

(Sometimes in the morning.)

(Sometimes in the afternoon.)

(I don't know)

(what's going on between you two, )

(and I don't dare to go up and ask as well.)

(Are you guys doing fine?)

We're fine.

(That's good.)

(I'm relieved now.)

(Take my words to heart.)

Okay.

Thank you, Lai.

(Put this in mind, okay?)

Okay, bye.

Liu Xia.

Liu Xia, are you in there?

I'm sleeping.

Okay.

(I've never seen her throwing things.)

(Has she taken her medication?)

I don't know.

I haven't seen any medicine at home.

What's the current condition of Liu Xia's illness?

No matter how much I ask her, she never tells me.

I'm getting so worried.

Okay.

Calm down.

Let me think.

Um...

Alright.

Go and find Miss Wan.

Miss Wan used to be Xia's counselor, and her university mentor.

(Let me give you her contact.)

(She'll definitely know more details than me.)

(Is that okay?)

Okay.

Shan.

You must take care of her for me.

I'll return as soon as possible.

Okay, don't worry.

(Alright, I'll hang up now.)

(Cause of disease) (Symptoms)

Miss Wan.

Is there really no way to cure this illness?

Over the years,

I've tried every method, but Liu Xia

has never gotten well.

I feel like I haven't found the root cause of her illness.

Can you tell me more about her condition in detail?

When she was in junior high, because of the pressure of family debts,

she wanted to end her life.

As for her mother, to prevent her from jumping down,

she accidentally fell from the building.

Over these years,

I've been providing psychological counseling for her

with this approach,

but it seems to have no effect.

That means,

maybe what she told me back then

may not be the truth.

Then, what could the truth be?

She has chosen to forget that memory.

At that time, on the rooftop, there was only Liu Xia and her mother.

No one else has that memory.

No matter what method I use, she rejects me subconsciously.

I have been treating Liu Xia for many years,

and there is one thing that I can be sure of.

She is definitely not the murderer of her mother.

Liu Xia told me

she was afraid that her condition will be unstable

and become a burden to you,

but she loves you a lot.

Do you think I would give up?

Of course, I hope you can stay by her side.

For all these years, she has been like my own daughter.

You should know

that if you persist today and persist again tomorrow,

once you give up, it will cause her a great deal of harm.

Miss Wan.

No matter how serious Liu Xia's condition is,

I will never give up on her.

I heard that you are sick.

I'm fine.

How can you be fine?

You didn't even tell me when you were sick.

Do you still consider me a friend?

When Zhang Shun went after you, I once sent someone to warn him.

Later, because of my concern for you,

I sent De to investigate your family matters.

I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you.

I didn't mean anything else.

I have never mentioned your family matters to anyone before.

To me, your matters are of utmost importance.

Thank you, Bai Muchen.

I know.

Your illness is in serious condition.

To overcome it,

it takes time

and courage.

I came here today just to tell you this.

It was you who pulled me out of the abyss.

Since you can help me,

you can definitely help yourself.

I have always remembered

all the words that you told me.

So, I hope you can also remember

that nothing is insurmountable.

We need to have the courage and confidence to face our inner traumas.

Did you send Li Bande to tail me again?

I

Happened to see you coming to Miss Wan's place.

Bai Muchen.

I don't need anyone's help.

Your brother is such a jerk.

I just said a few harsh words,

and he really left.

He even blocked my phone number.

If it weren't for you, he wouldn't even contact me.

Forget it.

We'll go our separate ways.

Although I'm not getting together with him anymore,

we're still best friends, and he's still your brother.

Why didn't you tell me about your marriage with him?

I wanted to tell you, but your brother didn't allow me to do so.

He said he wasn't ready.

How would I know what preparations he needed to make?

Are you silly?

My dear.

I thought you were angry with me.

How would I be angry at you?

I'm angry at Jingyun.

When I see him next time, I'll definitely hold him accountable,

and seek revenge for you.

You're so kind.

Do you know?

I've been worried about you.

Actually, Jingyun has told me your condition last time.

I knew everything.

I thought it was all over, so I...

I know you'll get better.

You will definitely get better.

I just feel like

I always make the people who love me sad.

No, you can't say that.

Liu Xia, let me tell you.

We've known each other for so long.

You are my best friend.

Whenever I face something unknown, I'll come to you for advice.

I'll seek your opinion.

When I'm sad, it's also you who comfort me.

So, I just want to say, if you're feeling down,

I want to be there for you too.

Even when Jingyun wasn't around, you were there for me.

Don't talk about yourself that way.

Furthermore,

it's not just me, but everyone counts on you.

You always protect everyone well.

You really do.

Things will get better.

It surely will.

I will be fine.
