[Episode 8: All I Want Is to See You Now]

Want some black tea?

If you want to add some bitter gourd, you can buy it at the market.

Or do you want to draw a card

before you decide whether to drink or not?

Who are you?

I'm...

a sea turtle who likes to make friends with mermaids.

Have a seat, mermaid.

Want a candy?

Do you know there are many shooting stars on Xingpu Island,

and you can make wishes?

Making a wish is like a deal.

When your wish comes true, some things will...

So, I don't know how long the happiness

gained through making wishes can last.

You don't want it?

Whatever.

You've missed a lot.

[Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars]

Thank you for choosing us.

Bye.

Your place is amazing.

Thanks.

Take care.

-Bye. -Bye.

Chen Haowei.

I miss you so much.

So handsome!

I've never seen anyone this handsome.

Okay, let me pay.

Can I take a photo with you?

Sure.

-So handsome. -Okay.

Wait for me.

Thank you!

-Is it good? Okay. -Yes.

Here's 30 TWD change.

Okay.

See you next time.

Thank you. We'll definitely come again.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I want to take a photo!

Wait for me!

Mom.

If nothing else, I'll get off work.

Okay.

Alright.

It's her turn.

Well, you...

Li Wanzhe,

Didn't you say you want to improve benefits?

For our employees' birthdays this year,

I'll provide extra benefits.

What?

Is there a bonus?

Something like that.

How about I use the bonus money I was going to give you

to buy...

to buy some wagyu

or Iberian pork?

But I really want to have cherry duck.

Food again?

Hama-chan already bought a lot of good stuff a while ago.

I'm not interested in food.

Anything will do.

Are you sure?

Listen,

Next year, by the lunar calendar, your nominal age will be 29,

so no big birthday celebration.

If you miss this year,

you'll have to wait two more years.

I'm sure.

As long as Hama-chan is here,

I can have big meals every day.

Every day is like a birthday.

You've gone too far!

I'm a widow!

How can you show off in front of me?

When my dad was still alive,

you used to show off your affection all the time, didn't you?

You're right.

Every day felt like honeymoon when I was with him

until he passed away.

Wait, I want it too!

Wait!

Okay, it's our turn.

Okay.

Hurry up! It's our turn!

-Take a photo for us. -Be careful.

Mom.

When you and Dad were dating,

who confessed their feelings first?

No way.

He's already working here.

You're still not together?

I just couldn't find a chance

to tell him,

and I can't think of a good way to put it.

Think?

Think about what?

Just do it!

Do it?

Do what?

Do you really need me to teach you?

Come on.

Let me tell you how to be an adult.

Listen...

Very good.

Go on.

Listen,

just get yourself drunk.

Then...

Let's go on.

Then you...

But I can't drink much.

Just...

Thank you, Hama-chan.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Auntie,

I have to go to the main island tomorrow.

I'm asking for a day off.

Tomorrow?

It's Wanzhe's birthday!

You're not coming?

Exactly.

I'll only be away for half a day.

I'll come back in time,

okay?

Oh, the last boat.

Okay.

I need to get the tapioca pearls out.

Hama-chan.

By the way,

when you go to the main island tomorrow,

could you go to Matsukiyo and get

the Chocola BB Plus from Japan?

Why?

Because that's the vitamin B supplement

Angela has to take every day.

It's a tiny sugar‑coated pill, easy to swallow.

Most importantly, there's no weird taste.

It can replenish nutrition

and help you stay energetic.

Otherwise, how could she be the belle of Xingpu Island?

Besides,

people like us who work hard every day

need more energy from vitamin B.

If you're too tired, you won't look cute.

Got it!

Get back to work.

-The tapioca pearls will go bad! -Okay.

By the way,

can you make it back tomorrow?

It's your birthday.

Of course I'll come.

Did I say you must come?

It doesn't matter if you don't want to come.

Don't worry about it.

Okay, I got it.

Li Wanzhe.

You're even taking this 100 TWD?

You've really gone soft.

You're so stingy.

How could you take that 100 TWD from me?

Mom, I'll go help Hama-chan.

Go.

I'll give you two days off.

What?

Why is there so much money?

What's this address?

You want me to go to the main island to run some errands?

Go find Chen Haowei.

Let's see if you want to have a proper talk with him

or put a bag over his head and drag him back.

Do you think I'm as dumb as you?

Since Chen Haowei left,

you've been acting weird.

I asked you to see him off at the dock,

and you looked like

you just walked out of a mortuary.

You've been spacing out and losing your mind these days.

It's not that serious.

You're so mean.

My words may be harsh,

but you look even worse, you know?

Young man, you have to be careful.

If you keep this up, you'll get sick.

Don't die in my place and make it a haunted house.

Still smiling?

It's all Hua's fault.

He told me a lot about you and Chen Haowei.

I told him to stay out of your business,

but now I'm the one minding your business.

Anyway, you have money,

an address, and a ticket.

The question is, do you want to get him back?

He Xiangyong.

If he's just like you,

I'll kick the hell out of him!

Dudu, let's go. Time to sleep.

This way. Where are you going?

Let's go to sleep. This way.

Let's go to sleep.

I said everything that needed to be said.

What should I do

to make him believe me?

Hello, how can I help you?

I'm looking for He Xiangyong.

I know he has resigned.

but I still want to ask

if you have his contact information.

I don't think I can help.

Are you his...

Xixi!

The president will be back soon.

Please have a seat.

Xixi,

do you know me?

Xingpu Island.

You gave me a card before.

What took you so long?

I know her.

Close your eyes.

Then count

1, 4, 2, 8, 5, 7.

What caterpillar?

Really?

Stop smiling.

Don't care about

what others think of Chen Haowei.

Are you not scared?

Why would I be scared of a caterpillar?

Why are you trembling?

I just took a cold shower. It's a little cold.

Yeah.

I'm as bad as him.

As useless as him.

We can't do anything right.

Xiangyong!

Have some candies.

Your favorite watermelon candy.

It wasn't easy for me to find you.

I'm not letting you go this time.

He Xiangyong!

Chen Haowei.

I am him!

I've liked you for 10 years.

I'm the one who has always liked you!

You were a big shot in school,

and I was a nobody

stuck at the bottom of the class rankings.

We skipped class

and got caught by the instructor.

You tutored me in my studies, and I taught you to paint.

And you even said I got Takehiko Inoue's talent for drawing.

-I gave you that sea turtle drawing on your birthday. -That's enough!

Let me know when you're back.

I'll come find you.

Bye.

I believe he will forgive you

after hearing what you said.

He will also thank you.

Though his life

is often far from perfect,

I think

at the very least, in your heart,

he still ranks among the best.

You clearly think I'm him,

don't you?

Why don't you trust yourself,

Chen Haowei?

Have we met somewhere before?

No,

we haven't.

Chen Haowei?

What a coincidence.

I just came back.

Well,

there's something I want to tell you.

And I'm giving this back.

I didn't steal it!

In a way,

it really belongs to me.

I just...

want you

to read it

and see if you can remember anything.

But don't feel pressured.

I know it's hard to believe,

but it did happen to me.

I...

I made a wish upon a shooting star.

When I woke up,

I became another person,

because I wished

I didn't have to be myself anymore.

What am I talking about?

I'm sorry.

I scared you that day.

Just take it...

as a joke.

But...

what I told you at the port that day

was true.

My feelings for you are real.

I really like you.

I really do.

Haowei...

Why?

Why didn't I trust myself?

Why?

I should've believed you!

I should've...

I'm so sorry!

I should've believed you!

He Xiangyong.

I should've believed you...

Mr. Hamaguchi?

Are you the ticket seller?

Hello.

-Hello. -You bought the tickets online, right?

Yes.

Two

VIP tickets for Jeon Ju-hun.

Yes.

Okay?

Okay.

Count the cash, please.

Looks like it. I trust you.

Okay?

Okay.

Hurry up.

Thank you.

Xiaotian.

Why do you keep smiling at me?

Excuse me.

We can handle the rest ourselves.

Okay, no problem.

-Thanks. -Thanks.

Eat.

I keep smiling

because I'm so happy.

I don't think...

it was luck

or a coincidence

that we met again.

It's what I've been

wishing for all these years.

This time,

I won't repeat the past.

I will protect you.

Chen Haowei.

Close your eyes.

Okay.

I don't need your protection.

I'm not that weak now.

From now on,

let's be happy

and leave no regrets,

okay?

Mr. Hamaguchi.

Who are you?

Do you know you have to

pay a toll to pass through here?

I've never heard of that.

What are you doing?

Get off me!

Give them back!

Give my tickets back!

Give them back!

Give them back!

Stop!

Give my tickets back, you scoundrel!

Ridiculous!

Stop!

Fight with me?

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

[Stairway Corner Ice]

Will he be late?

Where are you?

Didn't you say you'd come over tonight?

Wanzhe.

What?

I'm sorry.

I can't make it back today.

Why?

Didn't you promise to celebrate my birthday with me?

Give me your phone.

Let me talk to him.

Tell me, where are you?

Give it to me.

This is Chishi Police Station.

Are you Hamaguchi Soukai's family?

You need to bail him out.

-Happy birthday to you... -Okay, I'm coming right now.

Li Wanzhe!

My birthday boy, where are you going?

Li Wanzhe!

Are you mute or something?

You know what?

I went to see Xixi.

After confirming you were He Xiangyong,

I was ready to rush straight over to Xingpu Island,

but I bumped into you at the port.

My dad was insane.

He gave me a stack of money

and two tickets,

asking me to go back to the main island

to put a bag over your head

and drag you back.

Mr. He is so funny.

What time is it now?

10:45 p.m.

The last boat leaves at 11:00 p.m.

Take this.

I'll go buy you a ticket.

Chen Haowei.

I haven't been to the main island for a long time.

I want to take a walk.

What?

How are you going to go back?

You really want me to go back?

Don't you want to take a walk with me?

-That's not what I meant. -Just kidding.

Let's go buy the ticket.

If you want to walk, let's walk together till we're old.

Well, I'm...

He's my friend.

What happened?

Why did you get into a fight?

Sir, please calm down.

Well...

He's Japanese,

so

maybe he's not fluent in Chinese.

What happened?

Tell the police.

Who started it?

I...

Where's the guy who fought with him?

We're checking the security cameras for more information.

I need to confirm your identity first.

This way.

Thank you.

What the hell?

Today is my birthday, okay?

You promised to celebrate it with me.

Happy birthday.

What's this?

Didn't you want to go to his concert?

So, is this why you came to the main island?

Is this why you got into a fight?

He wanted to steal my ticket,

so I had to beat him!

Are you an idiot?

Am I really worth you doing this for me?

What's wrong with you?

If they had a knife, you'd be dead,

you know?

Li Wanzhe.

What?

If I die like this,

you'll remember me forever.

Chen Haowei.

Chen Haowei!

Get up.

Get up!

How did we get back yesterday?

What are you talking about?

Wake up.

Look at me.

Are you messing with me?

Are you messing with me?

You're the one messing with me.

What are you talking about?

Zhong Xiaoyou, let me sleep a little longer.

Why are you calling me Zhong Xiaoyou?

[Epilogue]

Do you know me?

Xingpu Island.

You gave me a card before.

What took you so long?

Did you already know

I wouldn't be able to understand your hints?

The end of science is metaphysics.

Your soul's memory has given you the answer,

but you don't believe it,

right?

Do you find Zhong Xiaoyou familiar?

Sometimes,

I think he is He Xiangyong.

Fierce and panicked emotions,

like shooting stars.

So, he really is He Xiangyong?

So, I don't know how long the happiness

gained through making wishes can last.

I think I said too much.

The wish is starting to have side effects.

[Next Episode]

Time and space are starting to get disordered.

You've been married before?

If I ever got married, you'd be the most handsome guy on Xingpu Island.

Hama-chan!

What?

Where's your wound?

What wound?

Is this because of the wish made upon the shooting star?

How do you know I made a wish?

One day, the sea will send you

the words Soukai has always wanted to say.
