♫ You are like the sea ♫

♫ Every single day ♫

♫ You keep waiting ♫

♫ No matter if I come or not ♫

♫ A sudden gust of wind ♫

♫ Messed up my hairstyle ♫

♫ But it brought us together ♫

♫ Only then did I discover how much I love who I am ♫

♫ Only you ♫

♫ Remind me of myself ♫

♫ The one who used to love smiling ♫

♫ Why did I lose my smile? ♫

♫ Unable to find a way out ♫

♫ I stand by the sea, feeling the breeze ♫

♫ Only you ♫

♫ Remind me of myself and what I desire ♫

♫ I've finally learned that after all my overthinking ♫

♫ What I want the most ♫

♫ Is to go to the seaside And feel the breeze with you ♫

[Breeze by the Sea]

Bai Yin Mo, who recently declined reality show appearances

and faced allegations of abandoning his mom,

is now facing a major reversal.

His mom has come forward to unveil

a shocking truth about his acting career.

I gave all the money Yin Mo had given me

to his stepdad for investment.

Later, the business failed

and even the two houses he bought for me were lost.

A video in which Bai Yin Mo's mom recounts her story

triggered outrage and criticism from netizens.

They voiced their strong disapproval

of such inhumane behavior on social media.

Some netizens even edited her photo

and made her look like a vampire.

Yin Mo.

Why are you here?

Have a seat.

I'll get you some water.

Sorry.

I don't have any other drinks.

It's fine.

I took it upon myself to help you again,

but this time, it will work for sure.

They won't criticize you anymore.

Lily told me that your acting offers and endorsements

are coming back to you.

Do you think I should be happy?

Did I say something wrong?

- Or... - No.

When I see so many people insulting my mom,

do you think I'd be happy?

I'd rather they were attacking me.

It doesn't matter.

Anyway...

I really don't mind.

My life has already hit rock bottom anyway.

But you're different.

You can make a comeback.

Everyone will sympathize with you.

I don't care about the sympathy of others.

Today,

I'm going to say everything I've kept inside for 20 years.

In the past, you took my money to fulfill your love.

You turned the house I gave you into a beautiful home.

But did you ever leave a place for me?

You didn't.

During holidays and festivals,

I always hoped you'd invite me to spend them together.

Did you?

You didn't.

I also hoped you'd celebrate my birthday with me.

I also wanted to taste the food you made.

Did you?

I went from disappointment to despair,

from longing to numbness.

The word "family" became the scariest word to me.

In the past, I never told you anything because...

I believed that if I kept giving you money,

buying houses for you, and doing everything perfectly,

I'd earn the right to resent you.

I could hate your heartlessness and selfishness.

I could...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

However, after going through so much,

I don't want to be the same person as before.

It's time for me to move on.

I will no longer hold onto my resentment toward you.

It doesn't matter if you've helped my career or not.

It's your thought that counts.

All right.

I understand.

That's all I have to say.

I'm so hungry.

Is there anything to eat?

Okay.

Let me see what we have to eat.

I have dumplings.

I'll add some cabbage for you, okay?

There are also your favorite meatballs.

Shall I add a few more?

Of course.

Wait for me.

I'll cook something for you.

Hai Nuo.

Tang Mi, what are you doing here?

Here, this is for you.

Thank you.

By the way, this is for you.

Thank you. That's so kind of you.

I'll go put it down.

By the way, what brings you to Kinmen so suddenly?

After the reality show incident,

I decided to leave that uncomfortable environment

and pursue what I want to do.

That makes sense.

After the reality show,

you must have been under a lot of pressure.

But why did you choose Kinmen?

After seeing how Yin Mo changed for the better

since he came here,

I've made up my mind to start afresh here.

I want to truly feel what life is all about,

go back to my old days of filming, create freely,

and share my experiences and discoveries

with more people.

What will you start with?

Ever since I was a child,

I've dreamed of opening a café.

I plan to start with a local café, learn step by step,

- We're here. - And document my journey as I go.

Hai Nuo, you brought a guest here for coffee?

You Cai.

You met during the reality show.

Hello, I'm Tang Mi.

Sorry. I didn't recognize you.

Welcome. Come on in.

Okay.

Thank you.

Hai Nuo, why don't you take Ms. Tang to sit in the back?

It's more private and no one will disturb you.

You Cai,

I brought Tang Mi here today to meet you.

To meet me? Why?

You've been in the coffee business for years.

Have you thought about taking on an apprentice?

Me? Take on an apprentice?

Stop joking around! I...

Well,

You Cai.

I was disrespectful to you during the reality show.

I'm sorry.

I'm not joking.

I seriously want to learn how to make coffee from you.

Excuse me.

Is the owner of the art studio planning to move out?

No clue, we're just following orders.

I see.

Thank you.

The past is like expired nail polish.

It dries out and goes bad.

What needs to be thrown away should be thrown away.

I won't hold on to it.

I only care about our future.

Shun Hua?

Weren't you supposed to stay in Taipei for two days?

A supplier changed their schedule, so I came back early.

Have you been standing here for a long time?

I just got here.

I'll tidy up the room first.

Da Wu, why are you sitting here?

Where's Xu Man?

Xu Man has left.

Left? Where did she go?

Maybe she has fulfilled her wishes.

What do you mean?

So many things have happened during this time

and I didn't even know.

I haven't taken the time to really care about Xu Man.

It has been days now.

After taking your grandma to Taipei, I came to find her,

but she was already gone.

I hope she won't leave without saying anything.

However, with her personality...

Yes.

We're really lucky to have met such a special friend.

But how could she just leave like that?

I still have so much to share with her.

She even said she would teach me how to paint.

Now, there's no chance.

Ms. Xu, we'll take these paintings now.

All right. Thank you.

- Xu Man. - Xu Man, you're here.

I thought you weren't around.

Where are you moving to?

I'm not moving anywhere.

I went to Taipei for a meeting with my agent.

So, where are those paintings going?

They're being sent for an exhibition.

After it's done, they'll be returned.

I see.

Da Wu was saying that

he couldn't find you for the past few days.

He was afraid you had left without a word.

Really?

Well, didn't I accompany you to visit your grandpa before?

I just wanted to check on you.

Thank you.

By the way, I'm planning to hold a free clinic soon,

but I've been struggling to find the right venue.

How about you two go ahead and chat?

I'll catch up with you later.

Bye.

Do you want some coffee?

Sure.

I recently discovered

that you can add sorghum liquor to coffee.

Do you want to try it?

Sorghum liquor?

Jing Liang.

I went to the academic office at your school and asked.

The transfer exam brochure

should be released between April and June.

- In July and August... - Dad.

Don't worry, I've checked everything.

That's good then.

Since you've checked,

you should start planning your revision schedule now.

- You don't have that long... - Dad.

I know.

Okay.

I'm nagging again. Sorry.

Dad.

What now?

Turns out you're going to Taipei to see your mom.

Did you ever consider

that she might have plans and not be at home?

But why isn't she in this home?

I wish my dad would stop treating me like an idiot!

I hate him!

Life can't always be perfect.

This is something I only learned after becoming a father.

- Does it still hurt? - No, it doesn't anymore.

Do you want to stand up and move around?

You've made me into a warrior in life.

Despite the wounds along the way,

these healing scars have become

the medals of my fatherhood.

I specifically learned a few dishes from Ms. Shu Man

to cook for you.

They're all your favorites.

I'm really happy that you were born to be my son.

Son, I don't think you're an idiot!

You're better than me!

You're more handsome than me!

I hope you live more freely and happier than I do!

I love you!

Thank you.

There's no need for thanks among family.

He's still sleeping in.

Are you okay for tonight?

Okay, I'll get everything ready

and head over to your place later.

Okay.

This isn't mine.

Welcome.

Miss, is there anything I can help you with?

My friend gave me this before.

I'd like to buy it as a gift.

Can you tell me more about it?

Miss, you really know your stuff.

I highly recommend this, too.

It's perfect for anyone.

It has a new 7 plus 2 formula with 9 ingredients.

Apart from the easily absorbed small molecule collagen,

it also contains vitamin C,

newly added probiotics, and iron.

Plus, it has no unusual scent at all.

Most importantly, it's small and easy to swallow.

Small and easy to swallow?

Giving two bottles shows more sincerity.

All right. Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Hai Nuo. - Hey, let's sit over there.

Just two coffees, right?

I'll also have two egg buns.

All right. Please wait a moment.

Thank you.

Right.

This is for you.

A gift?

Isn't that a bit too much?

Cai Zhen gave this to me when she went to Taipei.

Now that you're going to Taipei, I'll give you the same.

I've heard about this product.

It provides nine nutrients all at once,

including easy-to-absorb collagen

and a lot of vitamin C,

as well as newly added probiotics and iron.

Plus, it's small and easy to swallow.

I bet you'll be really busy in Taipei,

so you can take this to keep yourself nourished.

Thanks for your concern.

You're welcome.

- Here it is. - Here's your food.

Thank you.

Why did she take that bag of men's clothes

to Xu Man's studio?

This is how men should be.

He's more handsome than you.

I can't compare to him.

I'm practically falling for him.

You're exaggerating.

I never thought Zhi Ting could be like this.

I'm happy for her.

I truly hope she's happy.

Let's go grab some food.

We'll give her some space.

Shun Hua is calling me.

- Hello, Shun Hua. - Hello.

Da Wu.

I've developed some new dishes.

Do you want to come and try them?

I can't leave right now.

You can't leave?

You're not drunk at Xu Man's studio, are you?

Of course not.

I'm at home.

You're at home?

Okay. Forget it then.

He almost found out.

That was close.

Let's go.

That was scary.

Yes.

You all helped Zhi Ting cover for him

and let that guy make a fool of me?

I don't care who you are.

I'm going to make you pay today.

Zhi Ting?

Shun Hua?

Shun Hua.

Zhi Ting has made a video for you.

It's a gift for the 8th anniversary of knowing you.

It was supposed to be a surprise.

Anyway, the video is basically

what Zhi Ting wants to say to you.

Wait, no.

It's actually what Shun Hua wants to say to you.

Well, two Shun Huas?

How do I put this?

Those are the words Fang Shun Hua wants to say to Ye Zhi Ting.

Right, Fang Shun Hua to Ye Zhi Ting.

Words I want to say to you?

This is actually a bit complicated.

Never mind, you'll get it once you watch the video.

I, Fang Shun Hua, am very happy.

Eight years ago today,

I met a very ordinary girl, Ye Zhi Ting.

She was being bullied.

I, Fang Shun Hua, heroically saved her.

Even though I ended up in the hospital,

I never regretted it.

I had no complaints.

I, Fang Shun Hua, may seem ordinary,

but deep down, I'm a solid, dependable guy.

Ye Zhi Ting.

You left me and went to Taipei.

I could have ignored you or never forgiven you.

However, I'm just that amazing and kind.

Ye Zhi Ting, you'd better watch yourself from now on.

Because if I ever leave you,

you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

So...

that day in the bathroom,

you weren't talking to another man.

So, I'm not an expired product to you.

I'm not getting thrown away.

She was probably just practicing that day.

Fang Shun Hua.

I want to be your hand cream.

Even if your skin is cracked,

even if you grow old,

I'll always be there.

The past is like expired nail polish.

It dries out and goes bad.

What needs to be thrown away should be thrown away.

I won't hold on to it.

I only care about our future.

Fang Shun Hua, I love you.

This feels a bit too cheesy.

I'll go remove my makeup.

Wait.

You've already done your makeup

and the lead is here.

Isn't there still a part left to record?

Why don't you do it live?

Zhi Ting, you can do it.

- Go for it. - You can do it.

I used to say you smelled like fish

and dressed like a thug.

I said you weren't gentle or considerate enough.

You weren't attentive enough.

I pointed out so many of your flaws.

Maybe when life is too comfortable,

people tend to lose themselves and become greedy.

I forgot

during my toughest times,

you were the one who helped me up.

No matter what happened,

you stood by me,

shared my burdens, and always worried about me.

Someone said that loving someone

means becoming like them.

So, from now on, I want to smell like fish, too.

I don't want to just be in the front.

I want to join you in the kitchen.

And most importantly...

Zhi Ting, you can do it.

Come on. You can do it.

Will you marry me?

I'll run the restaurant well.

I'll take care of you.

Wait.

Are you just imitating me or are you seriously asking?

Will you?

Yes, I do.

I do.

I want to attend the wedding!

Congratulations!

Time to drink! Let's celebrate!

- It smells so good. - Dad.

- Instant noodles? - Yes, do you want some?

I haven't had it in a long time. Give me some.

- Instant noodles? - Yes.

Braised pork flavor, right?

- Do you want some? - Sure.

I'll make one for each of you.

- Okay. - Okay.

Give me a minute.

Dad, Mom.

I have something to tell you.

Zhi Ting proposed to Shun Hua.

- Really? - Yes.

That's great.

You know, the happiest thing for me as the village chief

is hearing about happy events in our neighborhood.

That's wonderful.

I wonder when it'll be our turn to host a wedding.

Dad, Mom, listen.

Hai Nuo and I are good friends now.

I've done my best, so I have no regrets.

I'll live a better life in the future.

So, please don't worry about me.

Have faith in me, okay?

Dad.

This isn't your fault.

Are you blaming yourself again?

I'm not. Why would I blame myself?

I've wanted to tell you both for a while,

but seeing how much you expect from me,

I didn't know how to say it.

Don't put so much pressure on yourself.

We shouldn't force things.

Let everything happen naturally.

Okay.

As your parents,

we'll always support you unconditionally.

We hope to always be on your side.

Thank you, Mom.

It's just one failed confession.

It's not the end of the world.

There are so many great things waiting for me.

- Exactly. - Just like this bowl of instant noodles.

It has been waiting for me to eat it.

Good. That's the right attitude.

Let's eat.

Let's dig in.

Okay.

This is the authentic flavor. Nice.

- It smells great. - It smells good.

After so many years, this taste is still great.

It brings back memories.

Drink the soup.

It's delicious.

It smells so good.

It's tasty.

It tastes just like when we were younger.

Grandma, I'm...

Grandma.

Why are you sleeping here again?

[Bai Yin Mo has made a comeback...]

This is the village chief speaking.

Good morning, everyone.

Today, Dr. Chen Da Wu

and our artist, Ms. Xu Man,

will join forces to hold a community health check

and art workshop.

We hope everyone will actively participate

and bring their elderly family members

to take part in this event that promotes health.

We're home.

We're home, baby.

I'll cook something delicious for you later.

I mean, for your mom to eat.

Tang Mi, come down for a moment.

Okay.

Master, I've replaced everything.

We need to order more light bulbs.

We can also double-check all the supplies in a bit

to see what else we need to restock.

Good idea.

The new coffee beans.

Today, you can try doing everything alone.

Okay.

You look confident.

It's not bad.

But every time you make it, the taste...

It gets a little better than the last time.

Dad, you're back!

- Yue Shan. - I'll help you with that.

It's heavy. Be careful.

Grandma, Dad is home.

Mom.

- Have a seat. - It's hot.

- I got it. - Be careful. Have a seat.

Come on. Sit down.

Sit down and eat.

You probably haven't had our seasonal oyster soup in ages.

I picked these oysters this morning. Here.

Thank you, Mom.

- Have some pie. - Okay.

Savory and sweet ones.

All right. Thank you.

There are sweet ones, too.

Okay, thank you.

Have some egg pancakes, too.

That's too much.

- Let's eat. - Eat slowly.

There's an extra dish today.

It's a treat from the guesthouse.

Is this fresh-caught?

- Yes. - Can I take a photo of it?

Sure.

Can you take a photo of us with it too?

Sure.

Okay, one, two, three.

One more. One, two, three.

I saw a cute grandma online, but I haven't seen her around.

She went on a trip.

Let me see.

Hai Nuo, I heard there's a great art studio nearby.

As art students, we'd like to take a look at the artworks.

I heard they serve cocktails there, too.

Do you know where it is?

That's Xu Man's studio.

I'll give you the address later.

Can you take us there?

I have things to do later.

I can call a car for you.

Please take us there.

You're familiar with the place. Just take us there.

All right. I'll arrange it.

Granny.

I'll jot that down for you.

Dr. Chen can check it for you in a bit.

Yan Ting.

Come here

All right.

When you draw blood from the elderly later,

be gentle, okay?

Make sure they don't feel any discomfort.

Don't worry. Their veins are finer.

I'll use the thinnest needle.

Xu Man, this painting is so unique.

I'm really curious about your creative inspiration at the time.

At the time, I just wanted to break free from the past

to give myself a fresh start.

All right.

What about this one?

Was it because you were feeling sleepy?

That was the artist's intention.

I was just joking.

Seriously? You were just sleepy?

It wasn't me.

It was your son.

Da Wu?

He stayed the night with you?

No.

Don't get the wrong idea.

Miss, this part isn't...

Okay. Coming.

Mom, stop saying random things.

A fresh start.

We're here.

Just tell them you're my guests.

I have other things to do.

Let me know when you're done.

- I'll come pick you guys up. - Okay.

Bye-bye.

You Cai.

What are you doing?

Jing Liang's birthday is coming up.

He said he wants to celebrate it in Kinmen this year.

I'll prepare some of his favorite kimchi first.

You must be so happy you can't even sleep, right?

Well, his mom told me that back in Taipei,

he once cried and begged to come back to Kinmen.

Can you imagine how satisfying it felt to hear that?

Your male ego must be feeling pretty great.

His mom also mentioned that while he's there,

he wouldn't tell her anything.

No matter how much she asked, she couldn't get anything out of him.

He just kept sulking all day.

Eventually, she called me for help.

Isn't that funny?

Did you give her any advice?

Of course.

I told her everything about what Jing Liang likes to eat,

the music he enjoys, and the games he loves to play.

Guess what my ex-wife said?

She said she felt really discouraged.

Discouraged?

Was she not in awe of you?

I don't need her admiration anymore.

You just want Jing Liang to be happy in Taipei, right?

Yes, that's my only wish.

By the way, you're here for the coffee, right?

- Yes. - Here.

You Cai.

Last year, when you let your ex-wife take Jing Liang away,

we were all really surprised.

When Jing Liang decided to go with his mom to Taipei,

I felt abandoned.

That was more painful than signing the divorce papers.

Why didn't you tell us?

Pride, I guess.

I didn't want to bother anyone with my problems.

What made you change your mind?

At that time,

I met someone who was also going through a tough time.

His situation was similar to mine.

But he chose to set his loved one free.

That really struck a chord with me.

So, I figured if I really love Jing Liang,

I should learn to let go.
