Fifteen Years of Waiting for Migratory Birds

Episode 13

Did you need something?

I just wanted to talk to you.

Oh... Just talking.

Did you really need to storm up like that?

You haven't contacted me at all during the past few days.

Don't you think we need to have a discussion, face to face?

Actually, I understand.

My sisters have always treated me as one of their girl friends.

Even though kissing is not common in China, but in western cultures, it is a very common etiquette.

- So– - Completely wrong!

I thought about it so hard that I had insomnia, but I've finally thought it through!

Today, with only one solution in mind,

I came to tell you this, and if it doesn't succeed, then our friendship is broken.

I, Li Jun... I like you, Daniel!

What? I said it.

That's the way I am. Black is black, white is white. Since I've done it, I'm not afraid to admit it.

I kissed you because I like you.

It wasn't because of some etiquette, nor a joke.

I've said what I needed to say. You make the decision now.

We either become boy and girlfriends,

or we become strangers, not even friends!

I... I...

Just like that, I don't know how long we stared at each other for.

But I finally understood

what his silent answer meant.

Ah...

Not saying anything means rejection, right?

That was my first ever confession.

A failure.

- Hi, this is your delivery. - Okay.

Thank you.

I'll go in now.

Bye.

Let's go.

What's wrong?

I suddenly remembered something.

A long time ago, when you were rehearsing for the birds shadow show,

who was it for?

That was so long ago. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it myself.

It was for Sister Li Li, right?

Watching the migratory birds was your promise to her, but you didn't get a chance to go that year,

so you rehearsed the shadow show for her.

Today, we finally saw them.

So can you not see Sister Li Li anymore?

Susu, what are you saying?

Watching the migratory birds was something that Li Li and I have promised to do since high school.

I was only wanting to fulfill my own promise.

Can you not think too much?

Do you think I'm thinking too much?

Okay. Then let me ask you something very seriously.

Will you come with me to my hometown?

You are a really gentle and caring girl.

I have always been able to feel your kindness towards me,

but I'm sorry. I'm really not prepared for a marriage.

But your mom already likes me so much.

And everyone around us knows that we will be marrying.

But you're saying sorry to me now?

Shangxuan, is there something that I'm doing wrong?

You can tell me, I'll definitely change.

It's not because of you.

I think it's because we're not suitable.

I understand. It's still because of her, right?

You've always had her in your heart,

so no matter what I do, it'll never be suitable.

Where are you going?

I'm going to find Sister Li Li and beg her.

I'm going to beg her to give you to me.

She's intelligent, diligent and has her family supporting her.

But what about me? The only thing I have in this city is you.

Shangxuan.

Susu, don't be like this.

Maybe we should have talked earlier

about the problems between us.

So if I asked you to choose between me and Li Li,

who would you choose?

♫ I let you go ♫

♫ because you already don’t want to ask, don’t want to talk, don’t want to stay, ♫

♫ so I understand what you need right now is freedom. ♫

♫ So I let you go. I let you go. ♫

Look at you, your eyebrows are knitted together.

Sorry that you have to worry about my problems.

Sorry. It's because of my own problems,

not because of you.

What's wrong? The barrel of gunpowder between you and Susu...

has really exploded?

In a troubling situation like this,

coming to find me for a drink will only bring you more worries.

If only Li Jun were here.

She's always so cheerful and happy.

As long as she's here, there will always be something funny happening.

How come I didn't notice she was capable of that?

Last time when I was participating in the talent competition,

when I was nervous to death backstage,

Li Jun sent me a joke through text.

She said, "Today's judges all look so educated.

They'll definitely treat you kindly."

I responded with, "You can't use 'educated' in that context.

If you do that, it'll only show you're uneducated." She said,

"If I didn't use it like that, you wouldn't be laughing."

Then I just cracked up because of her.

What?

Has the cold corny joke froze you?

Mate, you really should have seen how your face lit up

when you were talking about Li Jun just then.

Let me ask you. If one day, both Li Jun and I had an accident,

and we both called you, who's call would you pick up first?

Of course yours

because I wouldn't allow an accident to happen to Li Jun.

Ew.

Hello?

Shangxuan, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said those things to you.

That's okay, Susu.

I think I should be thanking you.

Thanking me? You're not angry, are you?

No. What you said has made me realize

that feelings cannot be forced.

Let's break up.

But... But Sister Li Li already has Qiu Zi'an. She wouldn't like you.

That's a different story.

It has nothing to do with that.

Goodbye.

Did you hear that? I officially broke up with her just then.

Tonight, there is no returning without getting drunk.

You've broken up with her, and Li Li and Qiu Zi'an haven't even started dating yet.

It looks like our group's single record

will be broken by me and Li Jun.

What did you say?

Li Li and Qiu Zi'an aren't together?

Hey, Da Bao. Remember last time when you said there was a really good movie...

Oh, you're going to see it with your girlfriend?

Oh, okay. That's okay, you go see it with her. Bye-bye.

I don't believe this.

They were still following me around last week,

but only a few days have passed before they all blew out.

What "blew out"?

The worst thing to happen in this world is not being heartbroken,

but that your backup guys have all found their own girlfriends.

That is called a blow out.

Has the things with Daniel really provoked you this much?

Do you want me to ask him to come? Then you two can have a chat.

No need. I've already said what I had to say to him.

I don't want to see him again. That'll only bring me trouble.

Now, there's only one important thing for me.

To quickly start a new love relationship.

That is the best way to cure a broken heart.

So, I will be meeting guys.

But you can't just think any guy you meet is your cup of tea.

I don't care.

I've been accepted by Aochuang!

Really?

Congratulations, Li Li!

- Treat me to a meal! - Alright.

Okay, stop eating. Do you remember what I just taught you?

What?

Those things that I told you to say.

- Don't forget a word. - Okay.

He's coming.

Is it sweet?

Yes.

Xiao Jun?

What a coincidence.

Oppa, wait.

Let me wipe this for you.

You call him oppa? And wipe his mouth for him?

Xiao Jun, did you become possessed by evil spirits?

No, this is called understanding reality and finding the right person.

This oppa here is not only handsome, but caring as well.

Oh, yeah. Most importantly, his mouth is really sweet.

Whenever he opens his mouth, he says classic lines from Korean dramas.

I'm so happy to be friends with him.

Hi.

- It's your turn. - What's my turn?

What I taught you before.

What?

Looks like unsociable boys are the trend in Korean dramas now.

This oppa of yours seems really quiet.

Xiao Jun, don't you often like to chitter chatter? Now that no one is with you,

don't you feel bored?

This is called being complementary. You wouldn't understand.

Your attitude is so strange today. Did you eat the wrong medicine?

You suddenly came up with this big of a surprise.

- Xiao Jun, let's chat in private– - Don't touch me.

We've already said what we needed to say to each other.

People change. Now that I have him,

I will have to say bye-bye to certain people.

Oppa, let's go.

Women are such capricious creatures.

What oppa? It should be vomit.

No, no.

Hello? Li Li?

Xiao Jun, isn't cooking a BBQ too exaggerated for only a few people?

I ruthlessly angered a certain person today,

so I'm in a good mood, and I want to eat a lot.

I called Pei Shangxuan to come, too. I bet he'll come with his conjoined twin soon.

It smells so good. What have you prepared?

Did I invite you?

We're all friends.

I invited Daniel. Right?

Yeah.

Where's your Susu?

From now on, our Pei Shangxuan will be an isolated single.

Single girls will be blessed.

- Why? - No reason.

Just accept it as it is.

By the way, where's that gentleman Qiu Zi'an?

What's that to do with you? I'm going to buy some drinks. You keep cooking.

Yours.

- Come here and help– - Do you need help?

Xiao Jun! Don't walk so fast.

Are you a fly?

Buzzing so close all around me.

Flies don't buzz around a seamless egg.

I admit I'm a fly, so you should accept your fate as a cracked egg.

You–

Keep ten meters away from me.

Be careful.

What are you doing?

We're friends. I can't just ignore you if you're in danger.

Friends? Don't ever mention that word in front of me. I don't want to be your friend!

I like you, and I've already tried kissing and confessing.

I've already made up my mind. If you don't agree, fine. Then we won't be friends.

You should let me thoroughly drop the idea forever.

Is there anything else you want to say?

Good. Then it's my turn to speak.

During these four years, I've become used to your chit-chats.

I tacitly agree that it was a friendly behavior,

but when you secretly kissed me that night,

it made my heart suddenly beat faster.

And when you almost got hit by a bike just then,

I subconsciously wanted to protect you

because I'm already sure that I like you.

Why didn't you say earlier? But I don't mind that it's a few days late.

But I have something in mind. Xiao Jun, it's time for you to lose some weight.

Is there really nothing wrong? You seem really preoccupied with something.

It's nothing. Sometimes, it's not until something goes away,

that you start relaxing.

Because of what happened, I realized something.

- We're here. - I'll go in first.

Actually, I...

I'm back.

Didn't you two go to buy the drinks? Where are they?

- Ah, you didn't buy them. - You forgot them!

If you didn't buy the drinks, then what were you two doing out there for so long?

I'll cook the beef.

- It's settled. - What's settled?

- What? - Let's barbecue. Let's barbecue first.

Senior! Senior, Senior! Wait for me.

Senior, you still treat your junior of 4 years so heartlessly.

Senior, you're too cold-hearted.

The line of guys who want to pick you up from the airport have reached from America all the way to China.

I avoided you, just in case they would misunderstand.

What if I said that I really like this misunderstanding?

But I don't.

Good thing I didn't take part in your fan club.

If I were to pursue you, I would have to be prepared for failure.

Miss Han, your mother has ordered me to pick you up.

Would you like me to give you a drive home?

That's okay. My car is over there, I can go myself.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

That man is really hard to approach.

- Mr. Liu, let me help you. - No, no. It will dirty your hands.

It's okay, I'll help you.

This is too heavy. Take this one, it's lighter. Are you home for dinner?

Here Li Li, have some mushrooms

to nourish your body. Also, this is your favorite braised pork.

Have some more.

- Meat. And some of this. - That's enough.

I come back for dinner and you start giving me the whole plate of meat.

You should eat more. Your mom is always worrying, saying that

you won't be able to eat our home-cooked foods when you're out.

By the way, Li Li,

now that you've graduated, will you consider moving in and living with us?

Now, there's only me and your mom left in this house.

Every time I cook dinner, it's hard,

because cooking two dishes for two people seems a bit too little.

But if I cook three or four dishes, that becomes too much.

But if you're home, it'll be different.

I'll think about it.

Grown daughters never listen to their mother. Do whatever you want.

Mom!

Don't be unsatisfied.

Li Li is already sensible enough.

I would be happy if Qianren had just half of Li Li's sensibility.

Just because Qianren is working overseas, doesn't mean he won't come back.

He would definitely come back if there are good career opportunities in China.

Here, you have some meat as well.

If Liu Qianren comes back,

how will I face him?

[Information on staff - Li Li]

Hello?

Who's this?

Sorry, wrong number.

He's even changed his number.

Perhaps, we will never see each other again.

[Zhengwei Science and Technology]

- How are you two going? - Pretty well. We'll send it to you later.

- Be quick. - Yes, boss.

Everyone, stop what you are doing.

Xiao Li, Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang, Pei Shangxuan, come here.

Our company has received some outsourcing jobs from some big companies.

We will go by the old rules. Every month, the most outstanding worker

will be chosen. The roster is here.

Have a look.

- Are there any problems? - No.

Okay. Off to work now.

[Vocational Work at Aochuang Company]

Your company's name is Aochuang, right?

That's a pretty powerful name.

Yes. Why?

Just randomly asking.

What is he trying to do now?

Everyone, who can stay back and work overtime tonight?

Anyone?

I'll do it.

Please wait.

- Thank you. Sorry. - No worries.

Thanks.

- Which level? - Level 12.

- Thanks. - The voice is so familiar.

It's really her. Han Yichen.

Four years has made her prettier.

She always has a magical attractive force towards the people around her.

Sorry, sorry.

Sister Li Li.

Hi, long time, no see.

I almost didn't recognize you.

Long time, no see.

I'm still the same, but you've become prettier.

Weren't you studying abroad? How come you've come back?

A schoolmate senior told me there was a new job opportunity in China.

I'm here to report in this new company. What about you?

Could it be that we are in the same company?

They all say the world is very big, but after these years, we meet again.

It seems like it was really fate that brought us together again.

You think the world is really small, right?

It's so small to the extent that when you turn around, you see someone that you don't want to see.

Are you still angry about what I said to you before I left?

I was still young back then, so–

You don't need to apologize to me. You don't owe me anything.

But you still owe an apology to someone else.

Li Li, Han Yichen.

Hello. I am the company's chief inspector, Zhang Kaixuan.

I am here to welcome you on behalf of all the staff members.

- Welcome. - Please take care of us.

Thank you, Director Zhang.

You two were chosen by our company after multiple evaluations

to be our genius designers.

The company's partners have a lot of faith in your abilities.

But I hope that you two remember Aochuang's tradition is to

keep the best.

So, your trial period is one month. I hope

that you two compete fairly and allow the most outstanding person to stay.

And as for the one that leaves, I can only regrettably tell her

that she may not be suited for this job.

Are you saying that after a month, only one of us can stay and

the other would have to resign?

That's right.

Jin Jin, come here.

Look at this.

Everyone,

which one of you can speak French?

Director Zhang, I have learned some French when I was in America.

Please come to my office with me

to hold a telephone meeting with a French customer.

This person has skills.

What is her background?

She just returned from overseas herself, and her father is the boss of a big company.

Most importantly,

she came here directly through connections from an associate.

How strong is a background like that?

I feel so sorry for

whoever is competing with her.

Alright, let's stop talking.

Li Li!

Why is he here? Oh no.

Why are you here?

I came here to have a look

at whether this company's environment is good enough for you.

You're not the one working here. What does that have to do with you?

- Let's go. - We're going?

What's wrong?

Why are you so silent? Did you get scolded at work?

I have something to tell you.

Someone has come back.

Who? Sun Yu? He's still selling phones in Guangzhou.

We just talked on the phone recently.

Or is it Wang Shixiao? Shu Min?

Who else?

It's not any of them.

You can't expect me to start guessing one by one.

It's her.

You should know who I'm referring to.

No big deal.

She's in control of her own legs.

It's her choice whether she wants to stay there or come back.

Perhaps, you two had some unsolved problems in the past.

Maybe you would be able to talk it through.

What is there worth talking about?

I was in complete despair back then.

I was hoping she would stand up,

and say something for me.

Say something truthful.

Was it that hard?

Sorry.

I shouldn't have brought this up.

There's nothing to be sorry about.

It's already in the past.

I'm no longer the little boy I used to be.

I am now a responsible man.

I have to overcome this.

Your beard hasn't grown very long, but your intention is pretty strong.

Let me tell you something.

Because of my outstanding work results at my company,

my leader has decided to send me to work in a really high-standard and classy company.

Guess which company?

Which one?

I will keep it a secret for now. But you'll find out sooner or later.

♫ My baby, baby, ♫

♫ I'll give you some sweetness, ♫

♫ so that you'll sleep well tonight. ♫

♫ My rascal, rascal, ♫

♫ let me tease your soft glances ♫

♫ so that you'll fall in love with this world. ♫

♫ Aiya-ya-ya-ya-ya, my baby. ♫

♫ Someone in this world is here to keep you company. ♫

♫ Aiya-ya-ya-ya-ya, my baby, ♫

♫ I'll let you know that you're the most beautiful. ♫

♫ I'll let you know that you're the most beautiful. ♫

My boyfriend is really too handsome to the point where he doesn't have friends.

Then who are you?

But he only has one girlfriend.

I didn't see anything. You guys continue.

Look at you.

You made Li Li short-sighted.

I don't care.

It's because my boyfriend is too dazzling.

Oh, yeah. How is your contract with your company going?

Their CEO really admires me.

He gave me an unexpectedly good condition.

He said because I will be making one album each year,

he has decided to give me my own studio to work in.

If you saw it, you would think it was pretty awesome.

Really?

My boyfriend has become a superstar.

Then what does your studio room look like? Can I come to see it?

You're my girlfriend, so, of course, I can take you.

Sing another song.

Sure, what do you want to listen to?

Anything. I like anything you sing.

These instruments are so cool.

And there's even cosmetics of famous brands!

You have this whole place to yourself?

Of course. Composing a song is a mental exercise.

Obviously, my surroundings have to be compatible to my god-like composing skills.

I'll write different songs in different environments.

Compared to you,

I'm really nothing.

I originally thought that after entering the newspaper company, I could become the lead writer,

but turns out I don't even get to write anything.

All day, I only corrected grammar,

fixed formatting, and filled out forms.

That job is just like being a porter of writing.

Don't be so pessimistic.

If you're not happy with where you work, you can come here to work with me.

Really?

Would I really be able to work in the entertainment industry?

Of course, you can.

You can start off being my special assistant.

When I've developed more,

you can be my exclusive agent.

These days, I always have to attend public events and can't find any time to be with you.

If we work together, there won't be a problem with not seeing each other.

How does that sound?

I can give it a try.

Daniel.

Brother David.
