[Episode 18]

Although the rehearsals have been going well,

I keep feeling so nervous.

I feel like it isn't quite the same as the first competition with Team S.

Of course, it's the same for everyone.

Zhuo Yin, how has it been with Lan Bo recently?

Pretty good.

R-recently, I saw him

w-with a woman, and th-they seemed close.

And h-he even touched her hair like this.

Xiaowo, I know you are doing this for our good.

However, don't you think you're being too gossipy?

I-I really s-saw them right there.

- That girl was so happ— - Enough.

I believe Lan Bo wouldn't do something like that.

If it were you, you wouldn't want someone to casually talk about

how Li Zhenyan is with another girl.

Li Zhenyan wouldn't do that.

- I r-really saw it— - I still have something to do. I'll leave first.

Okay, you don't need to send us off. Hurry back to practice!

After the competition, we will come to find you.

Why is your complexion so bad today? Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Okay. Then we'll cheer you on. We'll wait for you to come back in victory.

Lan Bo, where's Zhuo Yin?

Didn't she say she would go to the competition venue, too?

She said she has to do something. After she's done, she'll come to find us.

All right, all right. Don't worry! I'm here.

Then let's get going.

Cousin, good luck!

- Good luck! - Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Ji Mo, what's wrong with you foot?

I'm fine, I was rushing to the competition and fell.

Time is almost up! Let me think of a plan.

Don't mind me! Hurry to your class. I can just walk over.

I got it! Wait for me.

- Where did you get this from? - What?

I borrowed it from a person at the reception office.

Don't worry! I won't let you fall off.

I know.

How come I think you're like a mole right now?

Why am I like a mole?

Because a mole has really small eyes that are hidden in its fur.

- Are my eyes very small? - No, no, no! That's not what I meant.

I mean...

what's in your eyes is what you want the most.

For example, in a mole's eyes, it wants food.

In Qin Fen's eyes, it's Qing Shang.

Actually, I also have a girl I like a lot.

Really? Then does she know?

Although I've never dated, I think there are many kinds of love.

I choose to quietly accompany her.

What?

I'm saying she's looking at the scenery on a bridge,

and the person looking at the scenery is looking at her on top.

On top? What do you mean?

The scenery on top looks better.

The scenery is nice.

Xiaowo,

how come such a great girl like you likes Li Zhenyan?

Because he treats me well.

He can cook.

He cooks for me every day and he can make so many dishes.

And I'm a girl who is really bad at cleaning.

He will help me clean my room and I think he's so good.

Maybe I just think

liking someone... I don't know why, either.

There's no reason. I just like him.

Yes. You don't need a reason to like someone.

It turns out you like him so much.

- Are you tired? - I'm not tired.

You can just leave me here. Head back first.

Can you do it yourself?

Don't worry! Only one foot is injured.

Are you sure you don't need to take care of it first?

I'm fine. It's not severe.

Okay.

Fist bump.

Remember! You'll be the best oboist in the competition.

Remember that when you see this, it's like I'm by your side cheering for you.

- This is for you. - Thank you.

I'm heading off then.

Bye-bye. Good luck!

Ji Mo, concentrate!

Go back to your style of being calm.

Everything I've taught you is all about that, okay?

This is your moment.

Best of luck!

Congrats on winning first place. Is there anything you would like to say?

No.

Okay then.

What are your future career plans?

Hi, teacher.

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

You know that you should've gotten first place.

- Is she your manager or... - She's my mom.

- You must have put in a lot of effort to raise her, right? - That's right.

I believe you must have worked a lot.

Congrats, Lan Bo, for winning first place. Is there anything that you would like to share right now?

I really didn't think I would be first.

First, I'd like to thank my teacher, my parents,

and of course, my girlfriend.

Lan Bo, your performance was so amazing!

- Lan Bo, who is she? - Who are you?

Who are you? I'm his girlfriend.

- Lan Bo, what's going on? - They're my friends.

- Friend? - Who are you?

I'm his girlfriend.

- Girlfriend? I'm his girlfriend. - Explain! What's going on?

I think I've misunderstood.

It looks like...

- Zhuo Yin! Zhuo Yin! Zhuo Yin! - Don't leave, explain this clearly!

- Zhuo Yin! Zhuo Yin! - Don't leave!

[Let's Rock Gathering Point]

Didn't you say eating snacks will make you fat? You're now—

Shut up! Eat with me or leave.

I'll eat.

You took my food! What will I eat now?

You let me eat it.

Don't take anymore. Stop eating, okay?

If you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't hold back!

The competition was an exception. The sound of your violin

is the most perfect and precise that I've ever heard.

Precise?

Perfect?

Do you know what's your biggest problem with your playing of the violin?

You're too precise.

I do know. They compliment me like that since I was young.

Do you think that's a compliment?

For beginners,

precision is perfect.

But for an artist,

being precise isn't enough.

It could even be dangerous.

Child, arts

include music, painting, drama.

The most frightening is to limit oneself, tie oneself to the ground.

Those so-called rules and precision

will only limit you.

They will make everything lose interest and creativity.

What's wrong?

Do you still remember how Master Fei practiced with us at the balcony the other day?

Practice?

Are you talking about the game?

That was just a game. How was that practicing?

Listen to me!

That day, after you left,

Master Fei also chatted a lot with me.

He said that my biggest problem with playing the violin is precision.

Isn't it weird? I had the same reaction after I listened,

but I've just realized something.

Perhaps, when I perform,

I worry too much about the grade and just want to finish the song.

I forget the spirit of the music

and the feelings it wants to show.

I don't have these things. I'm lacking them.

In the end, after putting in so much effort,

not only I missed Team RS' practice, but also let everyone down.

A person who has true abilities,

will not be disheartened by just one failure.

This time must be to prepare you

to win first place in the whole world in the future.

Isn't there a saying, "Failure is the mother of success?"

Since you realize your problem now,

that means you have no more problems.

Also, even if you think you have a problem,

I still think you don't have one.

Just then,

the last sentence that you said, are you

confessing to me?

I made it so clear already and you can't tell?

I can't tell.

I can confirm right here

I am for sure, definitely,

200% telling you

that I, Qin Fen,

want...

Lan Bo, Ji Mo. Oh my God, they both got first place.

As expected!

Xiaowo.

What are you doing, Xiaowo?

- I'm making the "loving wife chicken soup". - Chicken soup?

Are you sure it's not Mengpo soup? (TN: soup provided in the afterworld to erase memories of the previous life)

It smells a bit weird.

My goodness!

This isn't your first time.

How come the chicken soup you make is always black?

I used five chickens.

You can have it all. I'm not eating any.

It's almost done.

- You're finally here. - Let's go.

[RS Youth Orchestra First Performance]

Do you need something?

This is a ticket for our performance.

And for me dropping out of the competition last time,

I apologize to you. Sorry!

I won't accept it.

Yes, I was at fault,

so you have the right to reject,

but there is something that I have to tell you.

Actually, I had dreamt of being a conductor since I was young

but it didn't come true because of some reason.

When I first saw you conducting Team A,

honestly, I envied you a lot.

Later on, I had a chance to conduct Team S.

I treated you as my competitor.

I think you're very talented,

enough that I dared not slack off, even the slightest.

By the way, even though we couldn't continue the competition last time,

I really did use all my efforts to practice

because I respected you as a competitor.

It was due to a personal reason that I did not compete. I didn't mean to insult you.

I hope you can understand.

We might not be able to meet for a long time.

- What's wrong? - I'm going to France.

Congrats!

You said so much just then.

On the surface, it sounds so dignified

but actually you are just stealing ideas.

Let me give you an example.

It's like you treat me as your competitor,

but I'm not.

I'm just a black card

to bring out your golden life.

Tian Yisong, you really misunderstand. You're indeed very talented.

I don't know why you would say that, but you are really amazing.

Li Zhenyan, I already know everything.

- Know what? - I know that Fei She'er came here for you.

I also know why you rejected him.

Don't you think life is full of wonders?

In the last second, I even thought I had nowhere to go,

but the next second I found out

that you're the person that's fated to show up.

Oh right! I still have to thank you.

If it wasn't because of you who forced me with every step,

I wouldn't be so determined to counterattack.

It was also you who let me understand

that hopelessness is a hope after despair.

Li Zhenyan, why do you look so sad?

We sold all of our tickets.

The performance is next, right?

That's right! It's just like that.

I feel like it's not easy to hold a performance.

It looks like we have to work hard in the future.

Don't give yourself so much pressure.

I'm always behind you.

Just be brave and move forward.

Sometimes, I truly envy your simple way of thinking.

My heart is filled with you.

Oh right.

This ticket is VVVIP. I saved it for you.

No need! I already spent the money and bought one.

Yours doesn't have a good seat, my ticket has the best seat.

Refund this one and you can save some money.

What you said makes sense! If you don't want it, then forget it.

I want it.

Is this a "friend" ticket or a "girlfriend" ticket?

How do I say this? At this location, you can see me the most clearly.

That's why I have to save it for you who is the most special.

Brahms.

[Brahms No.4 Symphony]

You didn't eat the takeout that I ordered for you.

- I'm not hungry. - You have to eat even if you're not hungry.

You actually ate it!

This feeling is like the wife is taking care of the husband.

Let me prepare a bath for you.

Change your clothes.

Take off your sweater.

You... I haven't put in the petals yet!

Why didn't he close the door?

Li Zhenyan?

My goodness! Why is there so much?

Li Zhenyan?

He scared me.

Are you okay? Li Zhenyan?

Li Zhenyan!

Are you okay? Li Zhenyan!

I have to call 120 for an ambulance.

What 120? The beat is 135.

He's asleep?

He scared me to death.

[Super Species Supermarket]

- Xiaowo? - Ji Mo!

- You're here also to buy things? - That's right!

I know.

Is this one better or this one?

Ji Mo, which one do you think is better?

- This one. - Okay, I'll get this one.

This one.

Why are you buying so many chickens?

Recently, Li Zhenyan has been tired so I have to help nourish him.

This one isn't bad.

I also need ginger.

It's here.

One should be good enough.

- Also, let me get— - I think that's it.

Okay, let's go and check out.

Okay. Let's go!

I think that should be it.

This one is so cute.

This one isn't bad, either.

- Ji Mo, what do you think? - I think this one looks nice.

I think so too!

But this one looks more like Li Zhenyan with spikes everywhere.

Let me go to check out.

You treat Li Zhenyan really well.

He treats me better than I do him so this is nothing.

Also, I can't help him with music.

I am only good at cooking.

So I have to show off my talents.

But I think he's quite mean to you.

He appears to be mean,

just like the cactus that we bought.

There are needles everywhere but it's only for protection.

It's hard to raise a cactus.

There can't be too much water

can't have too much sunlight, and even needs the soil to be loosen.

However, as long as you put in the efforts,

then it will bloom a lot of beautiful flowers.

- It's really beautiful. - Cacti can bloom?

Are there cacti that don't bloom?

I don't know.

Did I fold the clothes when I was sleepwalking?

Are you surprised, Conductor Li?

I spent the whole night making this chicken soup so you must eat it all.

Also, the cactus needs to rest, too

or else, it'll lose its needles.

Although I will still looklike you if you lose your hair,

you still have to pay attention for better look.

Love, Fang Xiaowo.

Hair loss? You are the one who is losing hair.

[Are you surprised Conductor Li?...Love, Fang Xiaowo]

[Music Hall]

Li Zhenyan, you asked me to join Team RS before.

- Is that offer still good? - Of course!

I have been saying this is the best position for you.

At the same time, congrats for winning first place in the competition.

Thank you.

Also, I've practiced Brahms No.4 Symphony in E minor and Tchaikovsky.

I hope I can catch up with everyone's pacing.

I also have a question. How come you rejected me before but now

you suddenly decided to join?

I rejected you before

because...

Because you like Fang Xiaowo?

I was a very isolated person,

I couldn't blend into everyone's world.

However, after I met Xiaowo,

I realized that she's very enthusiastic and generous.

She affected me allowing me to blend in with everyone.

Moreover, she influenced my music to become better and better.

She's like the moon,

giving me direction, but

the Earth she's orbiting

is you.

So why did you still decide to join?

Because of this.

After the competition, I realized

since I was ten years old, I had an old friend keeping me company.

When I was happy, bored, or sad,

it would reply to me using its beautiful sound.

That's my oboe.

So I want to do something for my old friend.

I understand. This is what music means to us.

It has the same meaning to everyone in Team RS.

Welcome! I hope you won't regret it.

Let's go! There isn't much time. Let's go to practice.

Zhuo Yin, let me explain.

The whole school saw it. Are you still going to deny it?

I didn't want to deny it.

They're indeed my girlfriends

but I really like you.

So you were dating three girls at the same time?

That's right! I never said you were the only one.

My goodness! Forget that he's a two-timer,

but he's a three-timer.

Xiaoyin isn't going to explode, right?

I've never seen her like this.

You jerk!

You don't have to be like this.

- I really like you. I can swear. - Shut up!

If you truly like someone, then you shouldn't date three girls at the same time.

I should've realized earlier.

I wasn't willing to admit it before,

but I don't want to lie to myself anymore.

I never said you were my only girlfriend.

Is it wrong to eat some rice once in a while after eating too many noodles?

Do you have to get this angry?

Enough!

Don't start a ruckus! We're going to perform soon.

There's no time! We have no time for you two to cause a scene here.

- I actually— - What about you?

You said you want to be in a professional orchestra, do you have the qualities of a professional?

The practice room is where you should practice,

and not a place to solve your personal relationship issues.

Sorry!

It's my personal problem,

but I can't endure it anymore today.

I know that Lan Bo is the principal cellist,

the performance can't be done without him,

so...

I'm dropping out.

Zhuo Yin.

Stay far away from me!

Zhuo Yin, Zhuo Yin!

Are we still going to practice?

Practice.

Zhuo Yin, Zhuo Yin, calm down!

- Don't touch me! - Can we discuss this calmly?

I have nothing to say to you.

I don't want to break up with you, Zhuo Yin.

Even now, you still dare say those words?

When I was with you, I was really happy.

Everything I've said to you is real.

I just don't know how to reject someone's feelings, just like yours.

Just like mine?

What you mean is because I took the initiative to confess to you,

and you didn't know how to reject me so you just accepted me?

I admit that I thought you were very cute at first

and it wasn't bad to date you so I wanted to give it a try.

I didn't expect to have fallen in love with you.

Then what about the other two?

Did you also accept their confessions?

You don't need to know this.

- As long as you know I truly like you— - Enough!

Stop talking! My mind is a mess right now.

Zhuo Yin, don't think about anything else right now.

Just think about the happy times we had together, okay?

Did you know I was really mad and sad?

But now, I just find it ridiculous.

Zhuo Yin, no matter what, just don't drop out of the orchestra.

This is your dream. Don't just give up because of me!

Zhuo Yin!

Zhuo Yin, drink some red bean milk tea.

Drink something sweet and you'll feel better.

Xiaowo, why are you here?

You were at the entrance and you didn't come in.

My instrument is so big, so I don't want to go in and disturb others.

You're still thinking of others at this time?

Every time I come here,

he would go in and buy them for me.

We like to eat the same mint candy.

He would buy the same brand for me.

Sorry, you had to listen to this.

Friends are good for these moments.

Thank you, Xiaowo.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

[Mario Paci Conservatory of Music]

We sold out tickets for the first performance.

There's still half a month.

I didn't expect that so many problems would arise.

I did talk to Zhuo Yin but she wasn't willing to come back.

If I were her, I wouldn't come back, either.

Exactly! Seeing the person who hurt me every day,

would I still be able to play? That bow would become a weapon.

I'm back.

- Zhuo Yin. - Zhuo Yin?

Did you forgive me?

In your dreams! I won't ever forgive you.

However, something that you said, is correct.

I shouldn't give up my music dream because of you.

We have no relationship anymore.

We're just strangers in the same orchestra.

Therefore, please keep some distance from me and don't bother me anymore.

I'm really sorry that I spoke so irresponsibly that day.

I will practice wholeheartedly moving forward.

- Please continue to take care of me. - That's right!

Don't let such a jerk affect your mood. Good job!

Enough! Let's start practicing then.

Come! Let's practice.

Zhuo Yin, don't...

Cousin, we're about to practice. Hurry and come!

What? You're at the hospital?

You're about to have surgery?

Because of the appendicitis, you came all the way here,

I'm so happy!

What are you doing?

Do you think I can't do anything well?

Not at all! Why would you think like that?

You did well when you comforted me last time.

That...

you already agreed that day, didn't you?

- What? - What do you mean by "what?"

Which day? What did I agree to?

You're pretending that you don't know, aren't you?

What happened?

Then we... you're still pretending that it didn't happen?

No, I'm telling you.

A person can't be like this.

There's no use of looking at me like that.

Anyways, from now on, you're my girlfriend.

Do you understand?

Then, am I your girlfriend or teacher right now?

Girlfriend!

Girlfriend. Girlfriend. Girlfriend.

I didn't expect that you would invite me out today.

- I actually— - You want to ask me

if we are still breaking up, don't you?

It's normal that you're not forgiving me.

To be honest,

I did think of breaking up.

Tian Yisong, I know you truly love me.

I also know that you're sincerely proposing to me.

However, everything you did to me

was too hurtful.

Sorry!

I originally thought that

your repeatedly lying to me

would diminish my feelings for you,

but I really can't lie to myself.

I still like you very much.

Caiwei, sorry!

Yisong,

this is really your last chance.

I do know.

I can do anything as long as you're not mad.

This is my future promise towards you.

Let's take it slowly.

When you're prepared one day,

I will give you the best wedding.

Jiang Caiwei,

I love you.

[Music Hall]

We don't want to disappoint the audience when we perform, is that right?

Right.

Demon Master Li Zhenyan is back.

If he didn't have high standards,

then in a short period of time, we wouldn't have had such a huge improvement.
