THE HAPPINESS THAT I DESIRED HAS BEEN VISIBLE.

STEFANIE SUN, "MY DESIRED HAPPINESS"

TO SU CANCAN: IT WAS RAINING IN TAIPEI. I HAD A TASTY MILK TEA.

I WISHED YOU WERE HERE BY MY SIDE. LIN JIAZE.

Hey, you know what?

I've been watching Pink Ladies recently.

Chen Hao's role as Wanrenmi was so good.

It was amazing.

I'll talk to you later.

Cancan, what are you doing?

Nothing.

Yingying, remember the friend I told you about?

Little Bumpkin?

Of course.

So, about Little Bumpkin...

She and the boy she likes, Mr. Handsome...

They're dating?

No.

She's dating his childhood friend, Bad Boy.

So Little Bumpkin likes Bad Boy now?

She thought she would like Mr. Handsome forever.

But she also knows that Mr. Handsome will never like her back.

Bad Boy confessed his love for her.

She found herself liking Bad Boy more and more.

Even more than Mr. Handsome.

What happened then?

Then, Mr. Handsome also confessed his love to Little Bumpkin.

She doesn't like Mr. Handsome anymore.

But she doesn't know why she feels so sad and depressed.

She wants to cry, but no tears are coming out.

Does Little Bumpkin know if she likes Mr. Handsome or Bad Boy?

Bad Boy, of course.

That's what I think.

I think that Little Bumpkin is upset because

you can never truly get rid of your feelings for someone.

Maybe Little Bumpkin met Mr. Handsome at the wrong time.

Maybe Mr. Handsome was the wrong person all this time.

We should all look ahead.

After all, Little Bumpkin knows

that she doesn't like Mr. Handsome now, right?

I guess so.

Yes?

Did you find my watch?

No.

What's your name?

I didn't find your watch.

You should give me your phone number.

This watch means so much to me.

I really want to thank you properly.

No need to get his number. It wasn't a big deal.

Mr. Lan, please answer this question honestly.

When you were gone,

she left her watch on the table.

She said I found it and wanted to thank me.

I don't even know her name.

You won't find out.

Of course.

What did you say?

I said of course I won't be finding out her name.

That's better.

I'm so sorry.

It's fine. Just go.

Here.

Thank you.

You can't get it clean like this. Cover it up with this.

No need. Thanks for the napkins.

Just wear it.

How else are you going to class?

It'll get dirty.

So what?

Clothes are meant to be worn.

I'm going to class now.

Tang Xingyi.

What now?

I'm sorry about what happened before.

You're apologizing to me?

No.

Since you apologized,

I'll forgive you.

Who needs your forgiveness?

Come on.

Do I look good?

Lan Tianye.

Lan Tianye.

Do I look good?

Do I look good?

Do I look good?

I have to go back to my dorm. Bye.

Should I say sorry first?

Jiaze, we grew up together.

We shouldn't be fighting like this.

It's meaningless.

Tianye.

Remember that model airplane?

Of course.

My dad promised me that he'd buy it for me if I got first place.

I studied so hard and got first place.

But then he told me toys would distract me from my studies.

He never mentioned it again.

Then, your uncle bought you one from Hong Kong.

It was my birthday present.

My uncle looked all over Hong Kong

to get that model airplane on the magazine.

I even went to sleep holding it.

But my mom told me to give it to you.

I would never do that.

Your mom gave it to me secretly in the end.

Tianye, if there's a next time,

I'd never give it to you.

Sorry. There won't be a next time.

If you don't treat her well, I'll take her away.

You won't have a chance.

I hope so.

Jiaze, next time I invite you out,

don't blow me off with an excuse again.

I'll think about it.

See you.

Cancan.

Jiaze, why are you here?

Can I sit next to you?

-I... -I...

You go first.

Am I causing you trouble?

No.

You're lying. You've been avoiding me.

Is it because of Tianye?

Jiaze.

I got the postcard you sent me from Taiwan.

Too bad. I was too late.

I also got the letter you gave me when we graduated

from high school.

I was too late too.

At that time,

I always thought that the person you like is Tianye.

When I got that letter,

I was so happy that I wanted to let the whole world know.

I swore to myself

I would do my best to make that girl happy.

I wouldn't let her down.

I'm sorry.

Cancan.

It seems like we always have the wrong timing.

If only I had acted sooner,

the ending would have been different, right?

Jiaze.

-I-- -Cancan.

Do you know when I started liking you?

The day we learned magic.

Obliviate.

Let's forget about the past.

I still can't write it.

Cancan.

What?

Come here.

What was that for?

To give you inspiration.

For what?

For writing lyrics.

Did you forget how you wrote our high school's song?

You meanie.

Meili.

Who does this men's jacket belong to?

A friend of mine.

Which kind of friend?

It's none of your business.

I think that washing machine is broken.

Hey, that washing machine is broken.

STUDY ABROAD

Studying abroad. Where would you go?

I don't want to go anywhere.

What does two plus two mean?

It's a joint exchange program held by Luwen, Baichuan, and Berklee in the US.

If you're interested, you have to prepare all the documents now.

English test scores too.

That's a rush.

Not really.

It was posted last week.

Is Berklee the one...

Berklee is the one whose alumni won countless Grammy Awards, right?

Leehom Wang's alma mater?

It's every talented musician's dream school.

Cancan.

Remember when I told you why I want to study liberal arts?

I really want to go.

But the tuition fee is very expensive, right?

I just checked it out.

It says that if you have good grades, you'll pay less.

Really?

San Francisco...

Is it really far away?

I'll be with you.

STUDY ABROAD

What...

INUYASHA

Hello, Cancan?

Can you come with me to buy clothes?

I thought you just bought new clothes yesterday.

Stop asking.

It's for Tang Xingyi.

Tell me the truth.

I knew something was up with you two.

What? If the washing machine hadn't made a hole in his jacket,

I wouldn't have to buy him a new one.

Hello, pretty ladies. Can I help you?

I need this exact same jacket.

Okay. I'll be back.

Is it this one?

Cancan, they're the same.

They really are.

Maybe Tang Xingyi bought it here.

Can you give me a discount?

Of course.

It's 3,000 yuan?

This jacket costs 3,000 yuan?

Pretty lady, I know this jacket looks quite ordinary,

but the texture and craft are quite...

How much are you offering?

Three hundred.

How about I give you three hundred and you sell it to me?

Meili, I think you cut it down by too much.

It's fine. My mom does it at the market.

Just cut off a zero at the end. Now let's pretend to leave.

Hey, wait.

I can give you a 50 percent discount.

One thousand and five hundred.

Look at this.

The lines aren't even straight.

Look at these buttons.

This jacket must have been sitting for a long time. They're rusty.

-And look at this logo-- -How much are you willing to pay?

Three hundred. Five hundred is the maximum.

Cancan, let's go somewhere else.

Fine. I'll sell it for five hundred.

You're a smart girl.

STUDENT DORMITORY

Why are you looking for me?

Here. This is for you.

What is this?

The jacket that you let me borrow. Thanks.

Jacket?

At the cafeteria...

So, the washing machine is broken and it ripped a hole in your jacket.

I bought the exact same one for you. Do you like it?

Don't look at me like that.

I'm embarrassed.

Thank you for buying me a jacket.

I'll treat you to dinner then.

No need for that.

You can treat me to milk tea though.

Sure.

Meili.

Do you like it?

It's not bad.

I'll save this one for you too.

Asshole!

-How dare you rob someone in front of me? -Meili! That bag isn't important.

Meili!

Meili!

I'm sorry, miss.

How dare you call me miss?

Fine. I'm sorry, ma'am.

-Stop hitting me. -Am I that old?

Tianye.

I think I have a crush on someone.

Didn't you tell me you like someone a few days ago?

That's the thing.

Go get her then.

But I'm not sure if she likes me.

She looked so cool when she beat up that robber.

Tang, you bought new clothes?

You buy knockoffs too?

It was a random buy.

Can I borrow your clothes?

I'm meeting a girl I knew in high school tomorrow.

My clothes are so ugly.

Take whatever you want.

Everyone in this dorm should try their best to get a girlfriend.

Your clothes all cost thousands.

I wouldn't dare take them.

Tang, how do I look? Do I look cool?

-Hey. -What?

-What's wrong? -Take it off.

But...

You just said you wanted to help me get a girlfriend.

Not this one. Take anything else.

You said it.

Look at the way you folding it up.

Is it from your girlfriend?

Cut it out.

So, I was right.

I'm done.

We still have five minutes.

You're pretty fast today.

I have a good teacher.

Lan Tianye.

In order to motivate ourselves,

the person who gets it wrong has to be punished.

What's the punishment?

I don't know yet, but...

The person who got more questions right can ask the other person to do something.

The other person can't say no.

Sure.

Exams are coming up soon.

Tianye, have you been preparing?

Yes.

I'm so nervous.

About what?

About going somewhere far away.

I'm a little scared.

But you have me.

Will you be with me forever?

Of course.

Cancan.

You got 13 questions wrong.

You wait and see.

Lan Tianye.

You did a good job today.

But you still got two more wrong.

You have to be punished.

Okay. What's the punishment?

-Come here. -Why?

Come here.

The punishment is a kiss.

Tianye.

We're going to the US together.

Okay.

TANG XINGYI: I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT TAO YATING.

I WANT TO SEE YOU.

XU MEILI

TANG XINGYI

REJECT CALL

TO ZHOU LIN

Now, we will announce the winners.

For the ninth Chinese Orchestra Competition,

the winning orchestra is...

Hey, did you hear?

We got first place!

-Really? -Are you sure?

Really?

Yes. Mr. Zhou is looking for you.

You're going to receive the award and deliver a speech on stage.

Okay. Got it.

CHINESE ORCHESTRA COMPETITION FINALS

Zhou Lin.

We were only able to win this award today

because of the school's support

and the effort of our teachers.

We have made our school proud.

Our youth and hard work has not been in vain.

Today,

I would like to thank someone.

He is the most special existence

in my life.

He always shines his light on me.

And gives me the courage to chase my dreams.

He is the sun.

He's like the shining Venus.

He probably doesn't know this,

but I really want to thank him personally.

Dear Zhou Lin, not Mr. Zhou.

It's your name.

When you read this letter,

you'll probably be very surprised.

When I started writing this letter,

I remembered the first time I met you.

The warmth of the sunlight, the humidity in the air.

The way you smiled.

Everything was perfect.

So many years have passed, but I still miss you.

I miss you more every single day.

I'm grown up now. I don't want to wait.

I want to tell you how I feel.

Zhou Lin,

I like you.

BEST WISHES FOR OUR STUDENTS AS THEY RECEIVE THE TOEFL RESULTS!

RECIPIENT: LAN TIANYE

I'm going to open it.

What if I don't pass?

We got through the college entrance exam. This is nothing.

It's different. You can evaluate your scores before you get the results.

You can't with this.

Don't worry.

After you read it, I'll take you to get ice cream.

-Open it for me. -Okay.

Okay, you can open mine.

You got it!

I'm sure you did too.

I didn't get it, right?

Come on. Didn't you mention ice cream?

-Cancan, you-- -Don't look at me like that.

You should be happy you got in.

I'm not going.

Don't say that.

Remember those days we studied together?

Don't deny our effort.

I don't want to go by myself.

Are you blaming me for not getting in?

You know that's not what I mean.

If you give up on your future because of me,

I'd feel really guilty.

I'll be responsible for my own choice.

Tianye, I want to be with you.

But I don't want our love to tie each other down.

Don't give up on it.

Don't give up on me.

You should explore the US.

I'll go meet up with you there for my master's degree.

Master's degree?

I want to apply for a graduate program.

We'll be able to study there together.

Cancan,

two years is too long.

I don't want us to be apart.

Meili's sister's boyfriend went abroad right after he graduated from college.

They've been together for four years. They're getting married soon.

If they can do it, we can too.

That's other people.

Lan Tianye.

You have to trust me and trust yourself.

Tianye, I already feel bad

that I can't be with you and can't go abroad.

Don't make me feel even more upset, okay?

I need some space.

Meili.

I need to tell you something.

What is it? I need to get to class.

Did you read the message I sent you that day?

-No. -Also,

our band has been invited to the Banana Music Festival.

I would like to invite you to go with me.

-I'm busy. -Then,

can you just listen to me?

I've been thinking lately.

Maybe I got something wrong.

What does that have to do with me?

I used to mistake you for Tao Yating.

But now, I've realized that

the girl I like has always been you.

Xu Meili, I like you!

-Who is it? -Coming.

-Is Su Cancan here? -That's me.

-A handsome guy wanted to give you this. -Thanks.

DON'T BE MAD. BEING MAD MAKES YOU UGLY.

What is it? So mysterious.

It's from your Handsome Lan, right?

Let me see.

Hello?

Cancan.

Are you still mad?

No, I'm not.

An immature guy sent me a silly picture.

You don't like it?

It's okay.

Tianye.

You'll go, right?

You should go.

It's our dream.

If you're not going, I'm not going too.

I'm going to go.

Just go there and wait for me, okay?

Listen. I'm the one who wants to go.

I'm going to get it next year.

Just wait for me there.

Okay?

Say it. Will you wait for me?

I will.

When are you leaving?

Cancan.

How can I leave you like this?

I'm not going to go.

No, you have to go.

What's so funny?

You can tell me if you'll miss me too much.

It's still not too late.

Who will miss you too much?

I'm sick of seeing you every day.

I'll enjoy my awesome single life once you go.

Then why am I seeing tears?

Where?

Something is in my eye.

Let me see.

So corny.

Once you get there,

don't forget to call me often.

Don't look at other girls.

Don't forget about me.

Did you hear me?

Yes.

-Cancan. -Yes.

I have good news.

What is it?

Our band got invited to the Banana Music Festival.

Really?

A live performance?

-Can I get a VIP seat? -Of course.
