(Fireworks of My Heart)

(Adapted from the novel "A City, Waiting for You" by Jiuyuexi)

(Episode 7)

I passed by after work.

So, I casually asked if you were around.

I didn't think they'd ask you to come out.

Why are you here?

I already said what I wanted to in WeChat.

Please leave.

Let me treat you to a meal.

I already said no.

Then you can treat me.

What?

Just tea is fine.

Why would I treat you to tea?

Yesterday, I lent you my space to carry out your rescue mission.

As the person in charge,

shouldn't you show some gratitude?

I waited the whole day yesterday,

but you didn't even call to say thanks.

Was I supposed to have hired a band

while I presented you with a pennant?

That's fine by me.

Otherwise, I became a model citizen for nothing.

How could you do that?

Xu Qin.

Do other people know about

this side of you?

Which side?

Fine.

As you wish, milady.

-Scram. -Let's get out of here.

Jiang Yi.

Captain.

We saw everything.

I dare you to give my number away again.

They can add you on WeChat,

but you don't have to approve it.

I was wrong!

I was wrong, Captain!

-Get back here. -I was wrong, Captain.

Come back here!

(Yanbei Fire and Rescue Detachment)

Xiao Yao, call me when you're up.

It's urgent.

Coming.

Xu Qin.

You got here fast, Xiao Yao.

I don't have extra slippers.

Just come in.

It's fine.

I'm fine without them.

Your house is so nice.

I like the color scheme.

My dad bought it for me.

He said it's only 10 minutes away from my work.

Sit.

Though your house is

so clean.

Did you mean it's lacking personality?

Not so.

You have no idea how much stuff is strewn around my house

till there's hardly any place to sit.

Every time the cleaner lady comes, she regrets it.

Check these out.

That was fast.

Where did you get these?

I stockpile.

It's important to have extra

of cosmetics and skincare.

You don't want to be out of them when you need them.

See? Isn't it nice?

How much do I have to pay you?

Stop that or I'm leaving.

-I can't... -Hurry up. Where should we do it?

Take the stuff.

Keep still. Don't blink.

Close your eyes.

Look how beautiful you are with makeup.

Let me add a bit more.

I must say you're a rare breed.

There's actually people

who don't know makeup in this era.

I'm a surgeon.

Makeup messes with hygiene.

You could use makeup when you're off work.

Where are you going today

that you're dressing up?

I...

I'm going on a blind date.

Blind date?

That's great.

You know what?

This can't be explained.

My friends who went through thick and thin to be together

somehow rarely have good endings.

On the contrary,

those that follow their parents arrangement

are now in happy and stable relationships.

Really?

Yeah.

Do your parents urge you?

Me?

About marriage?

They let me do what I want.

I've already made it clear to them.

For me, I only want to be in a happy, dating relationship.

Just dating?

Don't you want to be with the person you love forever?

Forever?

I don't even know if I can love one person forever.

Let alone be with him forever.

I just want to enjoy life.

If I'm happy, I'll date.

If I'm not, then bye-bye.

Let's contour the double chin.

It's full of nicks.

Hush.

Can you really do it, Chi?

I mean, it's not even.

You do it then.

Looks good.

See? It looks good.

-Nicks everywhere. -Stay still.

Looks handsome.

Listen to Jun Ping. He knows his stuff.

Let me wash my hands.

Captain, your hair is long, too.

You should get a trim.

Captain, do you want a haircut?

I'm almost done with Da Peng.

You can be next.

Halt.

Captain's hair is cut by the instructor.

No need for you.

Give me a break.

Captain.

Captain, don't listen to Chi.

Truth is, this is the last time I'm letting him cut my hair.

What the heck?

I have the nickname Tony Yang

because of my skills.

Look at all the nicks.

I'm sorry, brother.

What was that?

You have no faith in me?

Chi, I don't think you know how to cut.

Fine, I quit. No one appreciates my skills.

You want a haircut?

I'll do it.

Sir.

Sir.

It's a waste

that you're not using your skills on grass cutting.

I'm not kidding, my nickname is Tony Yang.

Sure.

No one believes me.

The usual?

Waited long?

No, I just got here, too.

Where are we going?

That way.

Let's eat here.

Okay?

(This city has memories because of you)

Well?

Do you want to try?

I'm not hungry.

Since you're buying, I'm going to order what I want.

Excuse me, one fried chicken,

one sweet potato fries,

fried calamari, and yam balls.

Plus two glasses of coke.

Sure.

Salt and pepper or chili powder?

Both, please.

He doesn't eat spicy food.

Okay. It will be right up.

Here you go.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Please enjoy.

It's weird.

What is?

It tastes just like how it used to.

Many restaurants, once business picks up,

the taste and quality tend to dip.

But not this place.

It's still as good as I remember.

I think the taste has changed.

It's almost ten years.

The taste couldn't have stayed the same.

I think it hasn't.

Perhaps,

it is your taste that has changed.

I guess you're right.

My taste is different now.

I don't like the foods I used to like.

Boss, two portions of yam balls.

Okay.

Please take a seat inside.

The school uniform is still the same.

It still looks as nice as before.

Don't talk while you eat.

Can you not dilly-dally?

Xu Qin.

You're too old to be acting cute, you hear?

What?

You eat.

I'll wait for you outside.

A bunch of tricks.

Hello?

(Hello, Yan?)

(Come and save me.)

What is it?

What's happened?

I'm at the police station.

Please come, quick.

Don't tell my parents.

Which police station?

Fuming Police Station.

(Okay. Wait there.)

(I'm coming now.)

What's the matter? Something happened?

Yes. I have to go.

It's peak hour. I can give you a ride.

Hi, Lin.

(I'm here.)

Navigate to Fuming Police Station.

(Sure.)

(Here's the way to Fuming Police Station.)

Don't worry too much.

Zhai Miao is a student.

She won't be in too much trouble.

You don't know her.

It's either she knocked a car,

or she got into a fight with someone.

She speaks without using her brain.

That might get her beaten up.

I don't need your help.

So no need to make any calls.

Where is Zhai Miao studying now?

Yancheng University.

Her results must be good.

I remember she was quite naughty when younger.

She didn't like studying.

But she's smart.

Why the sigh?

It's easier

for smart people to find shortcuts to success.

The more they do it,

the less respect they have for customary rules.

When everything seems to work out,

they become careless and go overboard.

I think

you'd make a good parent.

Thank you.

You can go.

I'll go in with you.

A bystander is neutral.

Perhaps it'd be easier for me to talk to her.

What happened?

Did you fight again?

No, I didn't.

I...

Why is she here?

Zhai Miao, be serious.

This is no time for tantrums.

Are you her cousin?

Yes.

What did she do?

Selling fake goods.

The person who made the dispute just left.

What is this about?

My part-time job was a scam.

I didn't know.

Didn't know?

Aren't you a college student?

You sold fake goods.

You're educated enough to know this is illegal.

Officer.

I really didn't know.

I didn't know they were fake goods.

Besides, there were other part-timers.

Why did you only apprehend me?

I'm just a poor student.

I can't afford luxury goods.

How should I know whether they're genuine or not?

Yan, you have to help me.

Help me explain to them.

Explain what?

I thought you got beaten up,

but you're asking for it.

Listen up, Zhai Miao.

You created this mess.

You figure it out.

How am I supposed to do that?

Then speak.

Who gave you these goods?

I asked her.

She refused to name her supplier.

I'm asking you one last time.

Who gave you these goods?

I don't know!

Still refusing to own up, huh?

Contact her school.

Yan...

Okay. Which university does she go to?

Song Yan.

Let me talk to her in private.

What's there to talk about?

Look at her.

She is unrepentant.

She had to be put in her place.

What if you told the school

and they expelled her?

How will you explain to your aunt and uncle?

Sorry, Officer.

Could I have some time to talk to her in private?

Fine.

Make it quick.

Thank you.

Zhai Miao.

Just speak your mind.

You heard what Song Yan said just now.

You know very well how straight-laced he is.

Reason over personal ties.

If you still won't name your supplier,

he'd really inform your school.

This is my problem.

I didn't ask for your help.

Zhai Miao, don't try to be clever.

-What... -You think you're great, huh?

Your little tricks are laughable at best.

What you did today is a minor offense.

Song Yan could probably get you out after paying a fine.

But what if someone got scarred or poisoned

and they want you in jail?

That won't happen.

I tried all the products myself.

They are safe to use.

Which means,

you're not going to name the supplier.

Are you thinking to continue once this blows over?

-I'm not... -Stop lying.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about you.

If it hadn't been for Song Yan today,

I wouldn't even be here talking to you.

You're an adult.

You are responsible for your own actions.

Stop making trouble for Song Yan.

Xu Qin.

Stop acting all self-righteous.

What a hypocrite.

I know what I am.

But you,

you have no idea where you stand.

Can't believe Song Yan called you smart.

You look like a dumb fool to me.

You go to a good school with good grades.

Your future after graduating is bright.

There's plenty of money waiting for you.

But then,

you don't study when you're supposed to.

You got tempted to make a quick buck.

What are you if not dumb?

It's not too late if you name the supplier now.

I don't think Song Yan actually wants you to

But if you won't repent,

he will do what he must.

Go and apologize.

This is my supplier.

Wang.

Look into this person.

Okay.

Go on.

How did you meet her?

We met in a group for part-timers.

She was very nice right from the get-go,

introducing me to a lot of part-time work.

She's quite reliable.

She gave me all the fees she promised.

A month ago,

she said her friend had some lipsticks

that were seized by customs.

She asked if I knew of any ways to sell them.

She even showed me the paperwork issued by the customs.

Oh, she also sent me dozens of samples.

I was worried they might be fake, too

so I checked at the stores.

I only started selling them near the campus

after verifying the authenticity.

There were some foreign students

who approached me for the goods.

I made 30 yuan for one lipstick.

I never would've thought

she sent me authentic samples,

but the later goods were fake.

That's how scammers scam people.

You wouldn't have fallen for it if they didn't bait you.

Why didn't you name the culprit just now?

When I realized something was off,

I called them.

They said,

the warehouse sent the wrong goods.

If I reported it to the police,

they wouldn't give me back my money.

How many did you sell?

Probably

about 500?

500?

I've got to hand it to you.

You make 30 plus for one lipstick.

So where's the money you made?

I spent it to stockpile more.

What...

What did you find?

The WeChat account is no longer active.

It won't be easy to track them down.

Officer.

What happens now?

Firstly,

your cousin sold counterfeit goods.

She'll need to refund the buyers in full.

And pay a fine that is three times the amount of goods sold.

This is the fine ticket.

You may transfer to the bank account.

Okay.

Secondly,

we only heard the story from your cousin.

We can't be sure whether or not she's telling the truth.

We'll have to find her supplier

and verify if she's also a victim,

that she was unaware of the situation.

Only then could we let her go.

Otherwise, she'd be either detained

or her school notified.

Yan.

The school must not know.

If they knew,

there goes my graduation cert.

Now you start to worry?

There's an urgent family matter requiring money.

I'll pay you back soon.

Okay. It's fine.

I really think this project is going well.

Who knows it might just work?

Right?

Still, it's all thanks to your support.

Look who's calling.

I doubt the actual brother gets this special treatment.

Qin.

Did you miss me?

(Xiao Yi Xiao.)

(Can you lend me some money?)

Hang on.

Tell me.

Where are you?

Officer.

This happened suddenly

so I only managed to get 100,000.

I'm Song Yan.

The captain of Shili Tai Fire and Rescue Station.

This is my identification.

You can verify it.

Say, what about we do this?

Let me take my cousin back first.

As for the arrears,

I'll pay them within three days.

Captain Song.

This isn't only about the money owed.

Before we verify the matter regarding the supplier,

as per protocol,

she has to be detained for further questioning.

But,

we will not notify her school for now.

One should answer for their own actions.

Just detain me.

I trust that the police officers would render justice

and prove that I'm innocent.

Innocent my foot.

You made this mess.

Innocent, you say?

Yan.

Please tell my mom that

I'll be staying in the school dorm

to prepare for my exam.

Tell her not to worry.

Alright.

Lin.

Take her away.

Okay.

Come with me.

Captain Song.

This is the cross-examination consent form.

Please sign it.

Hello?

Come straight in.

I'm in the office.

Why did you bring him?

I was with him. I couldn't stop him from coming.

Qin.

You didn't tell me.

I came as soon as I heard.

Turn out it was to save him?

You're not the one I called.

You're not needed here.

You can go.

Watch how you speak to her.

I speak the same way to you.

Yan Chen.

What is your problem?

Asking for a fight, are we?

What is this?

You're at the police station.

You can settle your business outside.

Song Yan.

Just leave.

Just take the money as an IOU, okay?

You've already borrowed money from friends.

You can't possibly find enough money in three days.

Zhai Miao is going to...

She's an adult.

She should own up to her mistake.

How?

Song Yan.

Song yan!

She can say that she's at school and keep it from her family.

But when she misses class because she's being detained,

what will you tell the school?

How will you explain?

I can't believe you asked me for this small amount.

Were you scared that your mom would see the record?

I should never have asked you.

Don't blame me.

Your brother is too sharp.

Don't worry.

He won't tell your mother.

I know that,

but why did you use his card?

What am I supposed to do when he forced it on me?

Are you worried that Song Yan won't be pleased?

Oh, please.

You did all this to get him the money

and you worry about his feelings?

I don't know what else to say.

No need to worry.

He and the girl should be released soon.

Why?

Your brother has all the connections. You know that.

He inquired.

Coincidentally, he saw someone he knew.

They were handling a case that overlapped

with Song Yan and the girl's.

I've paid the fine.

Long time no see, Mr. Meng.

Captain Zhang, sorry to trouble you.

Not at all.

Let me introduce you.

This is Captain Wang, the head of the Economic Investigation Detachment.

-Hello. -Hello.

They found the supplier who supplied the fake goods.

They are a repeat offender

the EID have long had an eye on.

Come.

Let's talk over there.

Thanks.

Here's the thing.

The supplier is named Li Hong Li.

We've been investigating her for half a year.

We found that there are others backing her.

So we didn't rush to apprehend her.

But, an arrest is imminent.

Captain Song's cousin was indeed tricked.

She didn't know those goods were fake.

She's still a student

and lacks real world experiences.

How about this?

Captain Zhang.

Give her a good talk and she can be released.

Okay.

We'll wrap up the case then.

I have another assignment in the afternoon.

I'll take my leave.

Let me see you out, Captain Wang.

See you, Captain Wang.

Lin. Bring the girl here.

Captain Song.

Since Captain Wang of EID had explained the situation,

you can take your cousin and go.

If there are further questions,

we'll need your cooperation.

Sorry for the trouble.

It's all right.

Yan.

Are they with the Mengs?

Come on, let's go home.

Yan.

I won't have you ask them for help.

Just let the police detain me.

I don't need their help.

Stop your nonsense.

I'll return the money in three days.

Yan.

We're leaving.

Yan. Don't you look back.

Stop looking.

He's not turning around.

Should we

go somewhere for afternoon tea?

You didn't come home this weekend

because you were out frolicking with him?

What?

Are you going to control me like Mom?

-You two. -I went out of the way to come.

I also got someone to resolve the matter.

Shouldn't you say thanks?

Were you trying to help him

or embarrass him?

What now?

Did I hurt his sensitive ego?

Meng Yan Chen.

What is it that you want?

I should ask you that.

It's fine if you're just playing around.

But if you're serious about him,

I urge you to stop.

That's my personal affair.

Stay out of it.

So what are you going to do?

Are you going to turn on your family because of him?

How old are you, Meng Qin?

Why do you still have such unrealistic dreams?

Talk to me when you're in control of your own matters.

That's enough.

Qin.

Don't talk to your brother like that.

Same goes to you.

You're all adults so be more mature.

She's the immature one.

He's immature.

You are.

-You are. -You are.

Enough!

Fine, I'm the immature one.

You, get off.

Let me talk to Qin alone.

Hurry up.

Yan.

I'm sorry.

I won't do anything illegal again.

Next time,

I'll use the money I earn

to buy you a Porsche wedding car.

I'll buy bags for your wife.

I'll bring home all the good stuff from my in-laws.

You can have everything.

Zhai Miao.

Seems like you still don't get the picture.

Is that what you should be thinking about now?

I'm sorry.

Your lemon juice.

Your milk tea.

Yan.

Do you still like her?

Do you like her?

It was fine before I met her.

Yeah.

It was fine before I met her.

What about now that you've met her?

Now that I've met her, I want to see her.

Fine.

I'll be more courteous the next time I see her.

I won't pick on her again.

Thank you very much.

Yan.

It's true that I don't like her.

But I feel bad seeing you like this.

I can tell.

She actually still cares about you.

Maybe you two could date again.

You don't get it.

Eat the food.

Eat.

I totally get it.

It's because our two families don't get along.

Her family thinks there's a mismatch in our status.

How obnoxious.

It's not just that.

I think you're just too unyielding.

What do people pursue nowadays?

It's to be free and happy,

to enjoy the present.

Just be together if there's affection.

The future is an uncertainty.

No need to worry about marriage and what not.

Just have a relationship.

Take it one step at a time.

If it works out, good.

If it doesn't, so be it.

It's better than you two being in perpetual limbo,

so close yet so far.

At least you would've experienced the joy of being together.

Besides, say you two get together again

and you learn her true colors.

So you change your mind and move on.

Isn't that great?

Where do you get all your weird ideas?

This isn't a weird idea.

Who said being in a relationship means a happy ending?

Yan.

You were born with a face that can attract dozens of love interests.

However, it came with a faithful, unchanging heart.

Just shut up.

Eat.

Okay, thanks.

Enjoy.

Are you for real?

What?

Stop pretending.

Should I ask Song Yan?

I can't with you.

Get over it, will you?

There's plenty more wonders in life.

What?

I wish I could be like what you said.

Then tell me.

What is it about Song Yan that made you like him so much?

I don't know.

That means you really like him.

Are you against it, too?

Now that was uncalled for.

When you two dated previously,

did I ever stop you?

But now,

I have to dissect it for you.

What if

your mom adamantly opposes it?

She believes that his parents and family are no good.

She wants you to find someone of equal status.

Then what?

Some things are not normally obvious.

But when it's time to talk about marriage,

they become a massive hurdle.

But don't blame your mom.

She's wiser than you.

Love comes and goes in an instance.

But reality will always be there.

Maybe because when I see him,

that's when I feel alive.

Give me a break.

Anyway,

does Song Yan think the same way as you?

Just now at the police station,

you saw how Song Yan was.

Your mother and brother do not like him.

I'm sure he knows.

Today, he got another reality check from your brother.

He is a proud man.

That couldn't have felt good for him.

If he chooses to let go of his pride to be with you,

then I think he's even more unreliable.

Heed my advice.

You two are not suited for each other.

I mean it.
