[Little Curtain]

Boss Qin, in the future, these noodles with pickled potherb mustard and shredded pork,

don't add pork oil in it, okay?

We taught class for the whole morning.

The flavor is coming back up our throats.

Okay, okay, okay! I'll make the flavor a little lighter.

Don't worry, don't worry!

I taught class the whole morning and the flavor is coming back up.

Old Zhang, did you notice?

These days, Boss Qin doesn't seem to be

focused on this noodle restaurant.

Teacher Zhang, I'm talking to you.

Brilliant! It was really a performance worth remembering.

You're talking about... Fei She'er and Li Zhenyan?

Li Zhenyan, this kid,

is indeed good at playing the piano.

Tchaikovsky is really difficult to play

and collaborating with someone like Master Fei,

totally unexpected.

Are you saying

that you regret giving him to me?

It'll do no good even if you regret it.

I won't give him back to you.

Hu Qianque,

I really hate how smug you look.

Don't forget! Li Zhenyan was admitted into the Conducting Department as an exception.

Next year, he'll just be a graduate of the Conducting Department.

He won't be with you for very long.

I know that but that's okay.

I still have Fang Xiaowo.

- Who? - Fang Xiaowo.

- Not reliable! - How is she not reliable?

I heard her performance with Team S.

To be completely honest, her playing was very interesting

and fun, but I give her

a three-word commentary, "randomly playing piano".

Take another look at Li Zhenyan.

Collaborating with a professional orchestra and conductor,

Fang Xiaowo can't do that.

Even if it's a normal piano competition,

in the first round, she will be eliminated by the judges. Do you believe me?

I don't think so.

I don't want to fight with you.

What I regret most right now is Li Zhenyan.

If the school gives me another student like him, I swear

that every single note he plays in my practice room

will be heard by the whole entire world. Do you believe me?

Old Zhang, what you failed at the most in your life is

that you always realize things too late.

Father Qin, I drank so much tea already

but I just realized, why are there so few tea leaves?

Well... W-Wait for a moment.

If you add too much pork, it's all right but why are there also few tea leaves?

Okay! Coming, coming.

You really realize things too late.

It sounds pretty good.

It sounds pretty good.

Isn't that the lucky charm, Fang Xiaowo?

Could it... could it be her?

She's so great.

She's so great.

She's so great.

Are you also the most useless one out of all of them?

Then I'll take you home with me.

- This one is pretty. - Yes.

After you open it, the color won't be as dark.

- Let's look at the pink ones over there. - Okay.

- This color— - Qin Fen, what are you looking at?

I-I'm just wandering around to see what's here.

Such a coincidence!

This one is pretty good.

Let me ask you guys! How do you girls usually pick lipstick?

By picking one that suits you.

But these lipsticks are all red

I... so how do I know which one I like?

How are they all red? They're all different.

Also, this one is red. This one is red. They're all red.

Look, look! These three colors,

this is dirty orange, this is red bean, and this is bright red.

They are also different textures.

There's lip glaze, lip gloss, creamy lipstick, and lip balm.

- There are so many types? - Yes.

Then isn't it even harder to pick?

- Let me test out the color for you. Look! - Come.

This is good for seeing your classmates.

This is good for visiting your best friends.

This is good for visiting parents.

This is good for seeing your teacher.

This is good for seeing your ex-boyfriend.

This is good for seeing your love rival.

- So, which one are you picking? - So, which one are you picking?

Do you have one that's fit for seeing your boyfriend?

- There is. - There is.

- This one! - "Male killer" color.

This... is the "Xiao Mi" Hu masks I told you I would give you last time.

They're all here. They're all yours.

What do you want?

I...

You're... not trying to be friends with me again, right?

I'm just... I heard you took the graduate exam and...

T-To congratulate you! Yes, I want to congratulate you.

Also, last time my family hosted a Team S

"must win" raffle for the menu.

Afterward, I don't know how but we randomly picked someone.

We picked you.

My dad told me to give you the prize.

This is it.

Your family's noodle restaurant meal set prize is a lipstick?

My dad picked it. I don't know, either.

Anyways, I gifted it to you.

All right, since you just casually gifted it to me,

I'll casually accept it.

Help me put it on!

Why do I need to help you put in on?

Even though this is a prize,

if it's a defected product I'll need to return it.

- You want me to put it on you... - You don't know how or are you afraid?

What's there to be afraid of?

What is this?

Didn't you say,

it was the prize of the noodle restaurant's menu?

I gifted it to you, anyways.

I-I need to go practice violin now.

Remember to put on the masks.

It's all-natural and super hydrating.

[Mario Paci Conservatory of Music]

What? Let me see!

Let me see! Let me see!

Let me see!

Fanchen, I heard you found a job already. Congratulations!

You found a job already? What will you be doing?

- A real estate agent. - A real estate agent?

- Not bad! - Great, great, great!

Didn't you say you were going to join a private orchestra?

It's not like I can go wherever I want to go.

Can I just do what I want?

Besides, being able to work as a real estate agent,

- I am already very happy. - Are you really happy right now?

I might also go into training to become a teacher.

I can teach children and continue training at the same time.

Later on, if I can be accepted into a professional orchestra, that'd be great.

You are all amazing but I still haven't found a job.

- I have to continue to work hard. - No worries!

You'll definitely find a job that you like.

I'm very happy for all of you who are graduating.

Even though when I think about the orchestra without you guys, it'll be quite lonely.

Especially Fan La Ba!

When I first came to this school, I wanted to drop out every day,

but now...

Why do we have to go on our separate ways?

- Senior, let's keep Team S going. - What?

Zhuo Yin and I are only juniors. Moreover, Chen Zheng is still in school.

As for the others, they can come and rehearse with us in their spare time.

Even if Master Fei isn't here, we can still continue and become an amazing Team S.

Well said!

In any case, you're going to stay for your graduate studies so you can keep on conducting us.

Stop joking around! As far as this unrealistic subject is concerned, I refuse to talk about it.

How is this a joke? I've built up and organized an orchestra before.

Building a symphonic orchestra is not that big of a deal.

Okay then. Right now, you are the premier of the whole orchestra.

Zhuo Yin, who's not skilled enough, is also the premier of the orchestra.

I'm the conductor and then there's a bunch of people who have to work.

If there's no way for us to ensure the most fundamental part of finding time to practice,

then what's the point of continuing this orchestra?

Then why don't we head in the direction of becoming a professional orchestra?

Look at how many times we've performed and the audiences' reactions have all been great, right?

Yes, I still want to be the Team S's lucky charm.

I still want to play the piano concerto.

The piano concerto? Are you serious about that?

I didn't think that after all this time,

you two still don't know what professionalism is.

Then why are you still staying at Mario Paci Conservatory of Music for?

You're not going to be a conductor so why don't you just leave with Master Fei?

That's not what I meant.

Are you sure that you're treating me today?

That's right! I'm treating.

Are you sure that you brought enough money?

Of course! Of course, I brought enough.

I'm treating you today so I can guarantee you'll have enough to eat.

Eat as much as you want!

As much as I want? Why don't I pay today?

Don't worry! I really brought enough money.

- Hurry and eat. - I'm eating then.

Why aren't you eating?

- I'm not hungry yet. It hasn't been too long since I ate. - You're not hungry?

I'm really not hungry. It's fine! I'll eat when I'm hungry.

Are you sick?

I'm not. I'm not. Hurry and eat.

Okay then.

This is just so-so.

I'm so mad. I'm not going to treat you to a meal anymore.

No, what's wrong? I didn't eat a lot.

Who brings so little when they eat sushi? At the end, you didn't even pay.

It's enough for two people.

Besides, I brought the rest of my living expenses that I had left.

It's because you weren't happy.

It's fine! You can't even take care of yourself so how can you have time to worry about others?

Have you thought about what you're going to do in the future?

In the future, I'll be a kindergarten teacher and play piano with the children.

Are you being serious?

I plan to go to the kindergarten next semester

to see if they're accepting any interns.

Fang Xiaowo, I thought your attitude towards piano had actually changed

but in the end, you want to be a kindergarten teacher?

Don't you think that it's a waste of your talents?

However, I never thought of doing anything else.

Isn't it great to be a kindergarten teacher and teach children how to play the piano?

I think to be able to bring them happiness is considered a talent.

So you're willing to be in a kindergarten classroom and waste away the whole world?

Didn't you also decide to stay at Paci?

I found some apartments near the school with decent surroundings

and in decent locations. Take a look!

Look at this one! In terms of quality to price,

I think this one is the best.

Look! The facilities in this apartment are especially extensive.

A gym, a self-study room, it has it all.

The most important thing is that your favorite sushi place is nearby.

When you don't have time to cook, you can go there to eat.

Schools open around November.

It's time to get the tickets now.

When do you think is the most suitable?

Let me answer a call. Wait a second!

- What's wrong? - I've gotten my visa and I'm looking at plane tickets right now.

What do you think about leaving early next month?

What's wrong? If it's not a convenient time for you,

I can tell my dad and we can always change it.

There's no need! You guys can decide.

I'm eating a farewell meal with everyone.

I suddenly felt a bit lost.

I'm about to graduate in one year.

I thought I was certain about everything

but after so many things have happened,

I suddenly don't know

if I should go to graduate school, go abroad, or find a job.

Everything is different from what I thought.

What do I do?

- Xiao Yin, I don't have these troubles when I'm with you. - Why?

Because... you're there.

I'll be wherever you are.

That's so disgusting

but it's very warm.

Thank you.

- I'm going in then. - Okay.

Let's meet tomorrow.

Bye bye.

- Lan Bo, come! - Hurry!

- He's here! - Hurry and come in!

Let's do one. Cheers!

Master Fei brought us together and created the most unique Team S.

From reluctantly accepting, to later on using all our might to defend and love,

this is what I never had and never thought of in my life before.

In the future, everyone please work hard to protect your dreams.

Don't be lost or be afraid!

Okay! I announce that Team S has disbanded.

Everyone...

We'll end here.

Let's all start over, everyone.

This is where our Team S first appeared.

Enjoy it, everyone!

Do you know

conducting Team S

was the happiest thing I've done in my life.

This was my first time being a conductor.

I will remember each and every one of them deep inside my mind.

I want to form a new orchestra.

I don't hope that it's only people from Team S.

I really want to use all my might

to form the best orchestra.

I don't know if they'll understand me.

This isn't the first time everyone knows you.

How could they not know what you think?

Even though everyone was very scared of you at first,

just like me,

it felt like a cat chasing after mice,

however, later on, everyone knew

that you acted that way for the good of the orchestra.

From then on, you also slowly started changing yourself

and blended in with us.

So when everyone saw the effort you put in,

everyone is touched.

Therefore, I have to represent everyone right now

to tell Li Zhenyan

that you're already very great.

In the future, you have to be even better!

You got this!

You're so noisy.

Besides, don't think you can pamper me like a child just because you're standing up on a ledge.

Li Zhenyan, let me tell you, actually,

I was quite afraid of you in the past.

Really? Why were you scared of me?

Then why aren't you scared of me now?

Because I know your secret.

You have a hard mouth but actually, you are soft-hearted.

Actually, you're a really good person.

I'm... a bit tired.

Carry me back, okay?

If you keep squatting, how am I supposed to carry you back?

- My goodness! - Get up.

Fang Xiaowo, why are you so heavy? Are you trying to squash me?

I ate too much of your rice and curry.

Eat less.

- Remember to go on a diet. - I'm not going to.

[Music Hall]

Fang Xiaowo, Teacher: Zhang Shangge? [Piano Department Instructor Change Notice]

Teacher Zhang? Wasn't he

the demon teacher who taught Li Zhenyan?

Why is he teaching Fang Xiaowo now?

That's right.

These bars here, I never told you about it before,

but your technique here—

Sorry, Dala!

Student Fang, why are you here?

This isn't your classroom anymore.

Teacher Hu, why am I suddenly changing teachers?

I had decided this at the end of the semester,

I just forgot to tell you.

How could you promise him? I don't like that teacher.

Besides, he's extremely mean. I don't want him to teach me.

He is a bit mean but he's definitely a good teacher.

He'll let you learn a lot of meaningful things.

I don't want to.

Teacher Hu, are we going to continue?

- Sorry, please wait for a second. - Okay.

Student Fang, why don't you go to Teacher Zhang first?

I don't want to! I want to attend your classes.

I'm not... not going back.

Do you still listen to me or not?

Then I want you to go right now,

to Teacher Zhang's classroom to attend his lecture.

I'm not your teacher anymore.

Teacher Zhang is your teacher.

Learn well from him.

Xiaowo, I can't bring out the full potential in you anymore.

Perhaps Teacher Zhang is the teacher who is the most suitable for you.

Playing with freedom won't let you stand on a high stage

and become a real pianist.

Hello, Teacher Zhang.

It seems like... you didn't knock just now.

Come in!

Hello, Teacher Zhang.

Hello, Student Fang Xiaowo.

I'm officially announcing that from today on,

I, Teacher Zhang Shangge,

will become your teacher.

Can I let Teacher Hu come back and teach me?

In your dreams!

Someone with the standards of Teacher Hu,

how can he bring out all of your potential?

So from today on, follow me.

I promise that the days in the future,

every music note you play in this classroom

will be heard by the entire world,

but... I hate students that are late.

You seem to be late by three minutes and fifty-seven seconds today.

Okay. Let's start class!

Teacher, I'm ready.

Student Fang Xiaowo,

before starting class,

I have to tell you the rules first.

We can become friends outside of class.

You can call me Teacher Zhang or just say hey,

dud, you, or bro.

However, in the classroom,

some bad habits

should be changed. Okay?

Okay. Let's start!

Play something that you've practiced

or a song that you like.

- Okay. - Please start.

Okay, okay. Stop! Stop! Wait a minute.

Student Fang Xiaowo, it looks like you you're very familiar with Mozart.

You were able to play such a difficult song.

Should we change it to another composer?

For example, Chopin, or Schubert.

Wait a second!

Take a look at this!

Try this one!

- I think I heard this one before. - Is that so?

Student Fang Xiaowo.

Student Fang Xiaowo!

Student Fang Xiaowo?

Give this to me!

I'm telling you that I have a limit to my patience.

Okay? This is the classroom.

Don't test my limit! Grab the sheet music.

Open it!

What is it?

Stop for a second.

Do it with me! Breathe in.

Okay. Start from the beginning.

Stop!

Did Teacher Hu Qianjie not teach you how to read music?

Answer me!

I normally don't look at the sheet music.

Then what are the sheet music for?

I am able to memorize it after listening to it once.

It's easy! I don't need you to memorize it.

Look at the sheet music and play!

Start!

One, two, three, four. Go!

Play!

Ji Mo, why are you here?

Xiaowo.

What's going on? Why aren't you attending class during class time?

I don't want to attend class anymore.

The teacher who taught me how to play the oboe when I was young was like this as well.

He was very scary.

I was watching cartoons at that time.

Every time someone evil appeared on screen, I would think of him.

I would even have nightmares at night and be even more scared the next day.

It was like a cycle that happened every day.

Back then, I was even a little afraid to learn the oboe.

I don't want to learn the piano anymore, either.

But you really love piano, right?

You shouldn't give up just like this.

Xiaowo, actually back then I wanted to give up on playing the oboe.

However, every time I went home

and saw my oboe looking so lonely on the table,

I knew that I couldn't leave it.

There are also a lot of people in this world like Teacher Zhang.

They don't have any evil intentions.

It's just that... their method in teaching is not right

because they all like gifted students.

They hope that every student of theirs gets first place.

But if that's the way to get... to the first place, I don't want it.

But you have the talent to get to the first place so why would you waste it?

Are you planning to keep running away?

Anyways, I won't take his class anymore.

Then, I understand.

What is going on?

When I saw her playing the piano with Li Zhenyan before,

she was clearly following the sheet music.

The sound of her playing the piano also had spirit.

However, once she came here,

she couldn't play that way.

She's still not back yet.

This won't do!

Come in, Fang Xiaowo!

Let me tell you,

I really hate you being late.

- I'm a 4th year student who plays a wind instrument, Ji Mo. - What's the matter?

I want to tell you something about Fang Xiaowo today.

What is the matter with Fang Xiaowo?

- She doesn't want to come to class anymore. - Why?

Because she encountered some things.

She is someone who is really clever, sir.

She is different from people like me who are stiff and formal when learning how to play an instrument.

Every piece of music she plays is from the heart.

- She is very talented. She is very— - Can you wait for a minute?

I'm not deaf.

Can you speak a little faster?

Then let me be blunt with you.

Her talent... can only be brought out by one person.

It's neither you nor me.

It's Li Zhenyan.

Who?

Teacher Hu, you also know how Teacher Zhang teaches.

Then why must you transfer Fang Xiaowo over to him?

Student Fang is very talented

but if she stays here doing whatever she likes,

only playing the pieces that she likes,

she will not improve anymore.

Teacher Zhang does teach in a very extreme way

but this is why he is good.

He can focus completely on his student.

If it was Xiaowo from before then of course, I wouldn't agree to change teachers

but who she is now, is different from what she was in the past.

Right now?

What do you mean?

You are still pretending to be stupid.

She might not have noticed this herself

but you should have.

She is no longer the girl who had no hopes for the piano, who is only thinking about

playing simply to express her happiness every day.

She is no longer that naive young girl.

She forgets to eat and sleep when practicing the piano.

Look how happy she was at the last performance.

She keeps clinging onto the memory of collaborating with you,

so Master Fei chose her.

Xiaowo isn't destined to be a normal person

but I don't really have a way

to bring out all the capabilities that she has.

Teacher Hu, I think...

No... aren't you worried at all

that from now on she won't be motivated to play the piano?

That's an obstacle she has to get past, herself.

Once she gets past that, she will be able to stand up for herself.

I wanted to take a risk and give it a try.

[Little Curtain]

They're just like that. Don't worry about them!

They shared their moments.

- Let me take a look. This one isn't bad. - It's this one.

What is the matter? Do you not like the noodles today?

Thank you, Uncle. I'm full!

See you next time, Uncle!

Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Symphony Lovers @ Viki

Hello, Dad? What is the matter?

What about Fang Xiaowo?

She's very strange? Hasn't she always been strange?

No, she's different from usual.

She only ate half a bowl of noodles.

That much was left?

Okay, I understand.
