[You are My Fateful Love] [EP19]

It's alright. Feel free to ask.

Well,

last time in Su City,

I asked you why you decided

to go abroad back then.

You said

it was your family's decision.

So the reason

behind this was...?

My parents

had divorced.

So back then

you left as a compromise

for your family.

I see.

Well,

since it's not what you want,

why you and

your mom's relationship

seems not close.

I ran into her at the hospital at that time.

My mom left my dad

because she hated his job.

But I chose

the same career as my dad after that.

So in my mom's eyes

that probably felt like

a betrayal.

Do you feel that way too?

Of course not.

And I believe

you didn't choose

this path

just to defy your mom.

I was just thinking

when you made the decision,

you should've known

how your mom would react.

But

why did you still

choose to become a lawyer?

Never mind.

You don't have to talk about it.

I'm alright to talk about it.

But I've just never told anyone

about this before.

So I need

some time

to think about

how should I

say it.

Then come talk

to me when you're ready.

Won't you blame me I keep you in suspense again?

Well, this time

I won't.

Done.

Shishan, I finished my song.

Come listen.

Not going home for New Year Festival?

Aren't you staying here too?

That's because my mom doesn't need me.

Me too.

Did I say something wrong?

Go to bed in time.

You too.

What's up?

How about

we spend New Year together?

Yes!

Yes!

Shican,

this song is brilliant!

You sure it'll succeed?

Yeah! Absolutely!

Once it's released,

it'll be hot sale!

Oh, Shican.

Can I ask you

a personal question?

Who's this song for?

[Talkative or quiet character is by his appearances.]

[Childish or mature nature]

[can't be judged so simply.]

[His grace]

[might just be]

[because we'd kept a distance.]

[When getting close, ]

[anyone is just a common person.]

[Maybe]

[the one I truly liked back then]

[wasn't actually]

[his cold elegance]

[or mature composure, ]

[but rather...]

How do you solve this?

I don't know either.

Do you know it?

We're all here for math tutoring

and at the same level.

So none of us can solve it.

Wish there is a math genius to save us!

So hard.

Xu Huaisong.

Quick, look at

how to solve this one.

And this one.

Give it to me.

Done.

No.

I mean this one.

I did this one.

Isn't it solid geometry?

Where's your diagram?

Yeah, where's it?

Just look at it and you'll know.

How's it going?

Xu Huaisong.

Teacher Ruan.

What problem

making you all making you all?

Ruan Yu,

tell me about it.

Need a helper for such an easy problem?

Xu Huaisong,

explain it to them how to solve this problem.

I'd checked it

but I couldn't solve it either.

Alright,

I'll explain it again.

[Maybe]

[what I truly liked back then]

[wasn't actually]

[his cold elegance]

[his cold elegance]

[But rather]

[his kindness]

[and gentleness]

[which is superior than others.]

[So]

[he has endured]

[pain and hardships]

[but still chooses to be kind-hearted.]

[After hardships have passed, ]

[he still keeps]

[his gentle nature]

[that I truly admired.]

[Then whether he's talkative or quiet, ]

[immature or not, ]

[secular or Elegant]

[doesn't matter]

to me anymore.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

It's New Year!

Don't be noisy.

It's New Year!

You're making a racket.

Everyone,

from this moment on,

follow my orders.

Our first task today,

pasting Spring Festival couplets. Go!

Is it okay?

A little higher.

What about mine?

Yours is a bit too high.

I'd say

you can lower it more.

How about that? Perfect.

Just right.

It's tilted. Move it up a bit.

Okay. Right.

- Align it. - How's that? Let me check

what you've pasted looks like. Take a look.

Mr. Xu,

you and Shican

don't seem

to click at all.

You can't even paste a couplet straight.

Well, barely passed.

Oh, right.

Next task: kill the chicken.

Kill the chicken?

You go first, then I'll follow.

No.

You go first. I'll be behind you.

Come on, smile!

Wait! Don't forget me.

Cheer up!

Happy New Year!

Dad.

For this dinner,

you're the eldest elder.

You have to say something.

I...

What am I supposed to say?

There're the great writer,

the top lawyer,

and even the big star over there.

They're better speakers than me.

I... I have nothing to say.

Alright.

I'll say a few words.

Great!

Oh my god, Shican!

I saw you on Yu's

social media moments.

It's your hand in the photo,

right?

Oh, that's why

you said you couldn't come back due to a business trip.

Turns out you're spending New Year with Yu.

Fine, I forgive you.

What Moments? Send it to me.

You can't see it?

On this

new year eve,

I propose

each of us

shares one wish first,

then we'll start the feast.

Sis,

that's not good.

One wish for New Year?

Not enough.

You need ten wishes!

You're so greedy.

Keep your ten wishes

in your heart.

Just share the easiest one

to achieve. Okay.

Dad, you first.

All I hope is

my gourd shop will get better and better.

Then I can hire a few more

hardworking and capable apprentices

like Yu.

Master Li,

you're complimenting me

while making a wish?

Just praise me

at ordinary times.

Sis! My turn?

I just hope

my guesthouse business

booms and thrives,

and that all my guests

come and stay safe.

- Wonderful! - Great!

- Thank you! - Awesome!

What I want

is no secret.

Oh,

it's like a common knowledge.

I just hope in the new year

my wish comes true

that I can stand on

my artistic stage,

and become an excellent professional musician

as Shican.

Not bad.

Wish it come true early.

Okay.

My turn.

I hope

in the new year,

I'm full of inspiration

and never hit a writer's block.

- Great! - Terrific.

Shican, your turn.

My New Year's wish is

I'm full of inspiration,

never hitting a songwriter's block.

Mr. Xu.

My New Year's wish is also

that I can...

My New Year's wish is I also hope...

Mr. Xu, forget it.

You're already stuck.

Honestly, don't try so hard

to be like them.

You don't have to be full of inspiration.

I'll say it later. You guys go first.

- Right. - Okay.

Let's give him some time

to think about it.

Well, let's start the feast then!

- Let's eat! - Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

How come you keep your

New Year's wish a secret?

It's not like that.

My wish

only needs one person to hear it.

Check your phone.

[I hope in the new year, ]

[I can become]

[(Ms.) Lily Vale's social media friend again.]

Now, for the apple wine,

- you all can... - Sit down.

Drink it without worries.

I've improved the wine.

So you definitely won't get drunk.

Pour it up.

Come on.

- Thanks, sis. - You're welcome.

Come in, Mom.

Shi, the Spring Festival Gala has started!

Hurry downstairs and watch it.

I'll be right there.

Wait for me.

Stop cooping up in bed.

Hurry up.

Bro, why aren't you talking?

How come you can't see

Yu's social media moments?

You got blocked by her, do you?

No wonder

her recent moments

haven't had

your likes.

Bro, on New Year's Eve,

you're so miserable.

I'm even tearing up for you.

[I'm fine.]

[Save your fake tears.]

Dad, have a strawberry.

Now that we're done eating, what are you guys

planning to do later?

Guys, don't forget

Shican's

New Year's Eve concert.

Well,

how could we forget such a big event?

We've been looking forward to it.

They'll be here soon.

But there are still a few hours

until New Year's Eve.

Why don't you guys go take a stroll?

Huaisong,

let's go watch the iron fireworks together.

My mom said

you must have your plan

and I shouldn't bother you. Good thing I came to ask anyway.

My plan is not really

up to me.

Then who?

Who else could it be among the three of us?

Someone's making sugar paintings over there.

Let's go check it out.

Let's go.

Watch your step.

Shican,

why aren't you out

with Yu?

I wanted to send them out on purpose.

Otherwise,

how would I set up the place?

Then you can't leave such a good chance

to go out alone with her

to Huaisong!

You could have let me do the chores.

But isn't it strange

to ask someone else to set up

my confession scene?

Only by doing it with my own hands

can show my sincerity.

Besides,

they're not going out alone.

Huan's with them.

What's there to worry about?

You can't be so sure.

You know what?

Huan's mischievous.

I don't know what Huaisong

did to her these days.

She really

adores him recently.

If we help him accidentally,

it'd be terrible.

It can't be.

Shican, you're so naive!

Listen.

Huaisong helped me get my ID back,

But if I had to choose someone to help

between you and him,

I'm definitely on your side.

I won't lie to you!

I'll leave the work to you.

Go for it, Shican!

Hurry up, boss.

The iron fireworks is starting soon!

Okay.

Remember back in

high school,

there was a snack street near our school?

A sugar painting artist set up a stall

there occasionally.

I remember there were lots of food stalls

but don't recall the sugar painting guy.

I remember there was also... Oh, right

I forgot you don't eat takeout,

and streetfood either, right?

Not really. I...

Take it.

Thank you, sir. You're welcome.

What were you saying just now?

Where's Huan?

She was right here a second ago.

Maybe she went to watch the iron fireworks?

She knows this area very well.

Let's go find her.

Okay. Huan!

Huan!

Huan!

Huan!

- Huan! - Excuse me.

Huan!

Ma'am, have you seen

a girl? Huan!

No, I haven't. No?

Thanks anyway.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. I've to go this way.

Huan! Hello?

[Ms. Ruan, ]

[it's me. Huan's back home now.]

[Wish you and Mr. Xu]

[enjoy your date.]

Alright. Good to know she's back home safe.

Mrs. Zhao said Huan's already home,

and told us to enjoy our...

Enjoy watching the iron fireworks.

Then let's...

enjoy it.

The iron fireworks is starting soon.

Let's count down

Go.

It's starting.

So big.

So beautiful!

That's amazing.

Really beautiful.

Bravo!

Sorry, ma'am.

I bumped into you.

N- no problem.

Sorry, sir.

It doesn't matter.

This is perfect.

Shican, hurry back.

I've finished setting everything up.

Mission accomplished.

It'll definitely make you succeed.

Shican, you're back.

I just sent you a message.

Take a look. What do you think?

Are you satisfied?

Look at these fairy lights,

and the little lanterns.

Doesn't it feel like spending New Year?

And look over there.

I prepared mixing console.

When you sing tonight, it'll have mixing effects.

We've got

all the equipment ready. How's that?

No need for it.

Take it all down.

What?

What's wrong?

Come, quickly.

Hello? Hello?

Yu,

come back quickly

for Shican.

What happened?

The thing is

I don't know what's going on.

He went out earlier

and after he came back

he said the concert tonight is canceled.

Now he locked himself

in his room.

I knocked several times

but he wouldn't open.

Okay, I see. I'm coming back now.

Okay.

Let's go back first

Shican, are you in there?

Shican.

Shican?

I'm... I'm sleeping.

You're still lying

as clumsily as back then.

What's wrong? Didn't he join

the singing competition?

He performed his original song

and just now the result came out.

He didn't make it.

You know

original songs usually are

at a disadvantage in competitions.

He must be dispirited.

Shican, are you in there?

Shican?

I...

I'm... sleeping.

Sleeping in the

rehearsal room?

With such a lame excuse

you think you can fool me?

Shican,

did something happen?

Wanna talk about it with me?

Can I come in?

Please come in.

Let me get you some water.

Thanks.

Your agent seems to be looking for you.

Shican, you've got the nerve

to go out without a mask

or hat? The whole day...

You were taken secret photos?

It's my fault.

I was in such a hurry to leave

and forgot I'm a star.

But it's okay.

I went outside alone anyway.

Then why is your agent

so angry?

Over the years,

we have conflicts more and more

due to our different personal beliefs.

The slightest thing

will make him furious.

This time I came to Shen'ao,

it's like a vacation

I arranged for myself.

He thinks I'm too willful.

Am I really

that willful?

But chasing dreams

sometimes requires

to be a little willful, doesn't it?

Actually,

you came here this time

not to have dinner with me,

nor for Shishan.

You just wanted to get some air,

to rediscover

your songwriting inspiration, right?

Right, kind of.

In this case,

as a singer,

to rediscover your songwriting original aspiration

by taking a willful break

is nothing wrong.

But my agent always says

I have to do things

I don't want to do.

Or I'll lose the chance

to do what I want.

Then what is it that you want to do?

Standing on stage,

singing songs I wrote myself.

What if

you have to shorten

what you just said?

Say it again then?

Sing my own songs.

See,

you've already figured it out.

You...

What are you doing here?

Practicing boxing.

Not bad.

I'm going down now.

Are you gonna keep practicing here?

Doing it downstairs then.

Practicing boxing?

[If the things]

[you don't want to do]

[make you forget]

[your original aspiration for music, ]

[then will you be happy]

[even if you stand on stage?]

[Will the fans who truly like you]

[be happy about it?]

Shican,

I understand how you feel now.

But you keep locking yourself

in this room.

Are you giving up singing?

Maybe my parents were right.

I really don't have what it takes to sing.

Yu,

I'm sorry

to let you all down.

As to whether you have what it takes,

an outsider like me

can't say for sure.

But how come you said

you've let us down?

I failed to take the guitar

to a bigger stage,

and make it worth its price.

When you walked into the guitar shop,

did you do it to stand on stage

and become a big star?

I didn't think that much before.

I just wanted to sing.

Then the moment you picked it up

and sang,

wasn't it already worth it?

Shican,

looks like

you've been saved again.

What are you looking at?

Shican,

you're feeling better now?

Good.

So when you were in the room just now,

you...

Did you confess to Yu?

No.

You didn't.

Then how did she

cheer you up?

She didn't helped me purposely.

But by accident,

she cured my another problem.

That's it?

The moon is in the sky.

You can't own it.

But standing where it shines on you

is also kind of possessing of it,

isn't it?

Right.

Then Shican,

are we still taking down the stage?

No.

[Where Shican is standing]

[looks so lively.]

Well,

everyone's busy with their New Year celebrations.

[What are you doing?]

Nothing, just bored.

You know

my family gets quiet and cold

during festivals.

[Me too.]

[Let's play a couple of games.]

You have so many people at home,

and you're still bored?

[They're all outside having fun.]

[I didn't go out as it's cold.]

Alright then, log in.

Yi!

Don't stay in your room alone at the New Year's Eve.

Okay?

Come out quickly!

Chat with

your grandparents.

There are so many people.

They don't need me.

Your phone needs you more?

I'm not playing my phone.

Hurry up!

Someone on my phone needs me.

[Just got a new message.]

[Shican is holding]

[a small]

[charity concert]

[in Shen'ao tonight.]

Did you tap to record?

Yes, record it.

Record, right. Start it.

Okay. It's starting.

One two, one two, one two three!

Testing, testing.

Okay.

No.

Alright, stop wasting time.

- Hurry up and start. - Enough!

Okay.

Alright, I'm starting.

Hello,

dear friends and family,

and community neighbors.

Great!

I'm Li Shishan,

tonight's MC!

What?

Host? MC means

the host!

The host!

Clap your hands!

Thank Ms. Ruan, the famous writer,

for translating for me!

Needs a translator, huh?

I'm so glad everyone

came to my courtyard.

On this New Year's Eve,

let's enjoy

a unique

concert together.

Alright, I'll stop talking.

Let's welcome tonight's

the honored guest,

the famous singer Li Shican!

Now let's welcome Shican

to sing a new song for us!

Hello, everyone, I'm Li Shican.

Maybe many of you here

haven't known me yet.

But on this day

of family joy,

you came here

and gave me

such warm applause.

Thank you all for being here.

Shen'ao is a truly

magical town.

Since I arrived here,

time seems to have slowed down.

There are no stage lights on me.

No eyes around me

watching me.

I feel like I'm back to be

the one who only

care about writing songs.

After today,

I'm leaving this place.

When I leave,

I will be different version of myself.

I'll become my old self

and return

the dazzling world full of challenges.

So I want to perform

a song I wrote here

for all of you

at my last night here.

This song isn't just mine.

It belongs to Shen'ao

and all of you

here tonight.

Bravo!WEBVTT

Bravo!
