♫ Crimson red blood, a blade burning bright ♫

♫ Streaking across the night sky like dazzling stars ♫

♫ The story starts like a lonely dance ♫

♫ Unstoppable, but hiding only brings more attention ♫

♫ The wind is howling ♫

♫ Eroding my soul ♫

♫ Please take me away ♫

♫ Shattering the deafening silence ♫

♫ Everything will say goodbye, everything will say goodbye ♫

♫ Sometimes silent like calm waters, Sometimes turbulent like gusting winds ♫

♫ Beckoning the tides of time ♫

♫ Everything will say goodbye, everything will say goodbye ♫

♫ When the skies start to cry and loneliness surges ♫

♫ Sparkle like fireworks in the distance ♫

♫ Everything will say goodbye, everything will say goodbye ♫

♫ When the skies start to cry and loneliness surges ♫

♫ Sparkle like fireworks in the distance ♫

Splendid display!

That swing was very powerful.

That was extremely... That was definitely a fierce move.

This American is too aggressive.

Our guys are like baby chicks next to him.

The ones who entered the arena were severely beaten up by that American.

I bet the remaining three won't stand a chance.

You're right.

Damn! Another one down.

G-Get up.

- Come on. - Get up.

Get up.

- That was a sweet move! - Exactly!

A clean strike!

The champion of the China-United States Kickboxing Competition is...

Xia Yao!

Why are you here?

You didn't pick up my calls or reply to my messages.

What else can I do but come look for you?

There's a cocktail party tonight, organized just for you.

You must attend.

I won't go.

Don't be like this. Brother Dou has already booked the hotel.

Beautiful girls have been invited.

You must go.

I just don't get it.

It's just a cocktail party.

Does meeting strangers embarrass you that much?

I would do more than attend a cocktail party if I had your looks.

I would gladly invite myself to a red carpet event.

I'm not interested.

Who is talking?

Who is talking?

Xia Yao.

Do you hear a strange noise?

I didn't hear anything.

Who's talking?

Are you trying to scare me with ventriloquism?

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Over here.

Xia Yao!

It's mimicking my speech!

Mimicking my speech, mimicking my speech.

Bark like a dog! Woof!

Like Peng Ze.

Repeat after me.

- Adding red beans into a dice of bone. - Adding red beans into a dice of bone.

Xia Yao, it's so clever.

I am so clever.

I have to buy a few when I get home. It's so cute!

So cute.

It even mimics what I say.

Xia Yao, I'm begging you.

I already promised Brother Dou I would get you to go.

If you don't show up, I'll be humiliated.

Yuan Ru is attending as well.

All the more reason for me not to go.

Why?

That beauty from the northeast is wonderful.

She has big boobs and long legs.

Why aren't you the slightest bit interested?

This meal is on me.

You guys are free to go wild.

Thank Brother Dou for me.

Just tell him that I'm tired after the competition.

We can have a gathering another time.

Xia Yao. Please, I'm begging you!

What if I respect you like my grandpa?

Uncle Wang.

Are you out for a stroll?

Yes, I'm walking to help my digestion.

- Sure. - Bye.

Take care.

- Yao'er. - Aunty Li.

Where did you get this bird? I've never seen it before.

I bought it recently.

Children who are as refined and relaxed as you are few and far between these days.

Don't be so preoccupied with walking your bird.

It's about time you got married.

You're such a great catch.

It doesn't seem right for you to be single.

Lower your standards.

If someone suitable comes along, give it a shot.

I'm not in a rush.

Why aren't you in a rush?

How old are you? At least twenty-six, right?

Aunty Li, my friend is waiting for me.

Let's chat at another time. Okay?

This child... The youth these days are so unreasonable.

Why?

That beauty from the northeast is wonderful.

She has big boobs and long legs.

Why aren't you the slightest bit interested?

[Perfect Women]

[Perfect Women]

Xia Yao!

Open up! Why did you lock the door?

Mom, don't come in!

I'm not dressed!

Open up!

What are you doing? Open the door!

Open your legs and let me take a look. XD

Big bro, you won't want it anymore.

One...

Two...

Three...

Hey, Mr. Xia!

Why didn't you come to the cocktail party? It was thrown for you.

I didn't want to go.

Are you avoiding me?

No, I'm not.

Hey, I'm talking to you! Why are you leaving?

The slit on your dress goes all the way up to your hip.

How is it?

Sexy, right?

Hey, don't go!

Brother, another guy has caught my eye.

But he isn't interested in me.

Help me catch his interest.

You're probably the only person in the world who can daunt him.

He's the prince of Imperial City.

He was brought up well and is insanely handsome.

His fighting skills are outstanding, and he doesn't have any scandals or a bad history.

The most astonishing part is....

He's a virgin.

Think about it.

Where else can I find a man like that?

Other than me, who else can subdue him?

Brother, I'm talking to you!

The problem is that this man is a real immovable brick.

He doesn't waver no matter what I do!

Look at my legs.

They're so sexy and tantalizing.

Every man who sees them falls at my feet.

I let him feast his eyes every time we meet, but he doesn't show the slightest interest.

What does this mean?

It means this man is dependable!

Brother, help me!

I promise that you'll be charmed by him at first sight.

Work hard for your own goals.

Boss, I'll take some chewing gum.

That'll be ¥3.

Wh-What would you like?

The same as him.
