[Episode 20]

I finally found you!

I'm giving this to you as a gift.

This is my lucky charm so I hope it can also help you.

I hope you will also work.

Look!

What's this?

Isn't this Fei She'er's watch? What's wrong?

Look again!

Do you feel a little bit sleepy?

Oh my God!

It's already this time.

Everybody, let's hurry up and start rehearsing. Get ready!

Are you getting sleepy?

Then let's close our eyes, okay?

Okay, my *ss! I still have to rehearse in the afternoon so don't disturb me.

Play by yourself!

It didn't work?

Are you learning hypnosis?

I'm just taking a look.

It isn't something anyone can learn.

Are you trying to untie the knot in someone's heart?

Friend, family member, or lover?

Or... do you want to pry into someone's secrets?

Who said that? I'm just looking at it for fun.

Sometimes, it might not necessarily be a good thing to the knot in someone's heart.

Why isn't it a good thing?

After untying the knot in his heart, he can go to France and fulfill his dream.

It looks like he means a lot to you.

If he goes to France for his dream, are you willing to let him go?

I-I,... of course, not.

Then will you go with him?

During your lifetime, people are always making various decisions.

Every decision has its regrets.

Just choose the one that lets you regret less.

This place! Aside from thinking, it's also good for sleeping.

It does seem like sleeping here would be quite comfortable.

Yeah! Just close your eyes.

Relax!

Your ears are filled with the sounds of nature. Remember this feeling!

When you play the piano, the sound will be more ethereal and free.

In fact, music is the shape of the player's soul.

It buries the deepest secrets.

And these factors constitute the most charming elements of music.

Then you can feel in your heart, your deepest self.

It sounds beautiful.

[First Sight Flowers and Birds Piano Store]

Were you lost in thought?

I accidentally fell asleep here just now.

Fell asleep?

Did you hypnotize yourself?

No!

What are we having for dinner?

Eat, eat, eat. All day, every day, all you know is eating. We're not eating.

Eat! What are we eating?

Let's go. Hurry up!

[Fang Xiaowo's Nest]

[Tomorrow: 7:30 Get up 8:30 Breakfast 9:00 Leave home... Night:...]

I want you to fulfill your dream.

However, I really hate that you have to leave me.

[Invitation]

[Music Hall]

The sun really rose from the west today (TN: the impossible has happened).

Student Fang Xiaowo has, of her own accord,

come to wait in the teacher's classroom for the lesson to begin.

This is worthy of celebration.

Hello, student? The lesson has started.

Let's see what we're playing today.

When flying a kite,

I always hope that the kite can fly higher.

However, if you want me to cut the string

and let the kite fly away,

I really can't let it go.

What's wrong? This early in the morning.

You don't have a fever. What can't you let go?

The kite or the string?

I understand.

Li Zhenyan. Is that right?

Li Zhenyan is going to graduate soon.

It's reasonable to feel sad. After all, you two are classmates.

It's been this many years, feelings have developed. In addition, you are good friends. Right?

However, he will leave sooner or later.

Zhenyan's future is not here. Understand?

However, I can't bear to be apart from him.

Can't bear to be apart...

Why don't you also join the

If you get a high score as well, you can go pursue a higher education

and go with Li Zhenyan.

- Really? - Why would I lie to you?

- But I... - But what?

You and Zhenyan have a big problem.

You dare not face yourself

and dare not face the outside world.

If you can take the lead in this most difficult step,

what will you see?

The outside world is a completely different environment

from here.

Actually, I understand how you feel.

You two will leave this school sooner or later.

But I still have to wait for the next generation of students.

But these years, regardless of whether you complained or quarreled with me,

perhaps in a few years time,

these will all become the most precious memories between us.

Therefore, I

can't bear to let you go, either.

But the outside world is so big, it's for you to explore.

Be a little braver!

All right, I've made myself sad, too.

In today's atmosphere, I think

it's not suitable for you to play Mozart.

Let's change to Chopin.

If you want to play the piano in the future, you can come here to me anytime, okay?

Really? Thank you, Sis.

Go ahead and play.

When I was a child, it was Teacher Xiang Xiang who gave me courage and confidence.

Should I also become your Teacher Xiang Xiang?

Fang Xiaowo.

Li Zhenyan, I was just thinking about looking for you.

I'm already finished with the rehearsal.

What are you up to? It seems like your mind is somewhere else.

I'm fine.

Are you hiding something from me?

I see!

You're hungry, aren't you?

- Yes, I'm hungry. - Let's go to lunch then.

- Okay. - Let's go!

Li Zhenyan,

are you realizing your dream right now?

I should be.

What do you mean by "should"?

Actually, dreams are ideals that can be realized.

And, there needs to be a clear direction for you to work towards it.

But if reality tells you that

this dream will always be out of reach

and every road leading to it, is blocked,

then doesn't that imply this dream doesn't belong to me?

Should I give it up?

Therefore, it seems that now, I don't have a dream.

Then if you find a way to realize your dream,

will you leave me?

I also don't know.

Reality is always changing.

Maybe one day it won't be me leaving you, but rather, you leaving me.

I won't leave you.

I'll never leave you.

I want to always be with you.

Fool!

There's no leaving or not leaving.

Even if one day, we're too busy with our work and can't see each other,

my heart will always be with you.

Isn't it very good, as long as two people's hearts are together?

As long as our hearts are together.

Did you need anything from me?

Auntie, what exactly is going on with Li Zhenyan's nightmares?

Why do you want to know this?

Because I want to help him.

Actually, Zhenyan...

We have gone and seen many doctors before, both domestically and abroad.

- But still— - Actually, that day,

I was outside the door and heard you two talking.

However, I didn't mean to! Please don't misunderstand me.

It's okay, it's okay.

You would've known about these things sooner or later.

- I'm just thinking— - Actually,

I used to be extremely scared of Li Zhenyan leaving me.

However, he's different from me, he's so dazzling.

He deserves all the best things, the world has to offer.

If he was a meal,

then he would definitely be the most delicious one.

All of the connoisseurs would give him perfect marks.

However, right now, he doesn't even get the chance to meet any connoisseurs.

Then do you have any methods?

I have a method.

But I need Auntie's approval, as his guardian, before I can do anything.

I've never seen Zhenyan treat a girl like this.

You are the first.

So Fang Xiaowo, you must have some kind of skills or magical power.

I've decided that whatever you end up doing,

I'll give you my full support.

Really?

Thank you, Auntie!

Don't go! I've finally found you.

Okay, right. What's your name?

My name is Zhong Yu, I'm from Nanjing.

Home to the Qinhuai river scenic area, the capital of six dynasties,

- where tigers crouch and dragons coil... - Okay, okay, okay. That's a very nice name.

Brother Zhong, could you do me a favor?

This starry sky is as dusty as ever.

The city lights are too bright

making the sky seem so small and dim.

However, it's not as boundlessly profound as it was in my childhood.

At this moment, I'm even thinking

perhaps, I really can step over to it.

Hello?

Look up!

Why are you calling? Are you afraid that you'll disturb others?

Can you go on a date with me tomorrow?

Date? Why are we going on a date?

I have a present that I want to give you.

Give me a present? What's wrong?

To reward you for having a successful performance.

On what basis would I want you to celebrate with me?

Okay, I'm messing with you.

- Where will this date happen? - On that lawn where I often sleep.

Do you want me to feed the bugs with you on the lawn?

Then do you dare to come?

I dare! Why wouldn't I dare?

You must come then.

Goodnight. Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Didn't you say a date? Are you going to perform some magic on me?

I spent the whole morning setting this up.

You spent the whole morning setting this up so that I can sleep here?

How is it?

Is it comfortable?

It's okay. Apart from the ground pressing into me a little and the atmosphere being a bit weird, it's all okay.

Let me tell you.

A friend told me

music is the shape of the performer's soul.

The deepest secrets form

the music's most enchanting colors.

If you feel it, then you'll feel

in the deepest part of your heart, your truest self.

I actually know all of this but

why is there a guqin?

Oh right! I almost forgot.

- You'll feel really relaxed when you hear this. - Oh, relax, relax!

You'll really, really like it.

Why are you holding that again?

Just look at it!

- Okay, I'll look at it. - Look at it!

Do you feel a bit sleepy?

Are you sleepy or not?

Then let's close our eyes, okay?

Relax! It's very safe here.

Slowly close your eyes.

So it was indeed for me.

Forget it! I'll cooperate.

It really works.

Let me ask you a question.

What's your name?

Li Zhenyan.

Then are you female?

I regret this! I shouldn't have promised her to come.

No.

Then, what's the PIN

to your bank card?

379604.

Then do you know what is Fang Xiaowo's favorite food?

Fang Xiaowo likes to eat everything.

Wrong! Fang Xiaowo's favorite food is

Peking roast duck.

If you travel to Beijing someday,

then you have to bring back roast duck for her.

Okay.

Then does Li Zhenyan like Fang Xiaowo?

Forget it!

I already asked you this question before.

However, Fang Xiaowo really likes Li Zhenyan.

In this world, she's definitely the person who likes Li Zhenyan the most.

She likes Li Zhenyan more than anyone else.

Moreover, she only likes Li Zhenyan.

Right now, that ball of light surrounding you,

gradually flows from the top of your head

to the bottom of your feet.

You feel like your whole body is warm.

And then...

I'll bring you to a place.

A place where you‘ve been before.

A place you usually dream of.

Where is it? Is it on an airplane?

Where was the airplane headed?

China

because my parents are divorcing,

so mom is taking me back home.

Now that you've returned to the airplane,

what do you see?

There's a lot of people, a whole lot of people.

And then what?

They asked if I wanted to drink something.

Then did you have a drink?

I drank coca cola.

That was my first time drinking coca cola.

Dad didn't let me drink carbonated drinks back then.

- Is it good? - Yes.

Slow down!

What about the surroundings?

Just see what else is in your surroundings.

Windows.

There are stars outside the windows.

Mom, there are so many stars over there.

Baby, come here!

Look at that one! That is Orion.

Orion's most distinctive sign is its belt.

Do you see the three stars in the center?

That's its belt.

It's also holding a large sword in its hand.

What star is it?

Mom told me it's Orion.

That's right, the stars.

- Mom, Mom, I'm scared. - Don't be afraid!

I'm here! Come!

Mom has a heart disease.

I wanted to save her

but I couldn't do anything,

...just couldn't do anything.

Mom, Mom!

I couldn't save her.

If I had gotten the medicine bottle, then I could've saved her

but...

but I...

but I couldn't do anything.

It's not your fault, Li Zhenyan!

You were only a seven-year-old child.

If it was anyone else, they couldn't do anything, either.

- This was just an accident. - No!

This wasn't an accident.

Because of me, that medicine bottle

was never brought on the airplane.

Only I know about this!

But I... but I...

I've already prepared the divorce papers. It just needs your signature.

Leave the child with me!

Impossible!

I can't let you turn Zhenyan into another Li Yazhe.

I hate myself.

I hate myself for not grabbing that medicine bottle.

I also hate that person.

If he hadn't broken my conducting baton so harshly,

then mom wouldn't have left.

If he hadn't kept pulling, then the medicine bottle wouldn't have fallen out.

If we hadn't gone on that airplane, then there wouldn't have been an accident.

Mom wouldn't have died from her heart disease.

All this time, I've been avoiding it,

but I know the most clearly in my heart

that the one I should hate, is myself.

If it hadn't been because of me,

my parents wouldn't have argued.

They wouldn't have divorced.

Mom also wouldn't have passed away and she would've lived on well.

Our family would be happy and blissful.

It's all because of me.

It's not your fault.

You were only a child.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have had a solution, either.

Your mom definitely wouldn't want you to always be in this darkness.

We all have dark pasts

but we have to overcome them.

We can't be overcome by our past.

I believe you can do it.

Right now, we are sitting in

Doraemon's time machine.

We're going back to the time when you were seven years old.

You're holding that child who keeps crying

and tell him,

"This isn't your fault".

Sleep! Have a good dream!

When you wake up later,

the dream you had and all that had happened,

you won't remember any of them.

Li Zhenyan, you're not afraid anymore.

You can take a flight to Europe now.

Sorry, it's all my fault!

It's fine! It's not your fault.

This is for you!

A gift! This is my lucky charm.

I hope it can also help you.

Perhaps, I really can overcome the fear of the sky.

[Platiny Youth Command Contest Application Form]

Next week, I'll take you to see the band's live performance

and let you experience the charm of rock 'n' roll violin.

You're still thinking about rock 'n' roll music?

Of course, I'm still thinking about it.

But right now, I think music is actually all the same.

It's just an issue of form.

Think about it! Like electronic, rock 'n' roll,

jazz, classical.

Isn't it so? It just that...

I hope one day I can break all these boundaries

and create music that belongs only to us.

Do you know that before when classical was still considered popular,

people also thought Beethoven was very strange.

So when you look at these, like jazz and rock 'n' roll,

their histories are all pretty similar.

I think that as long as music can stir people's hearts,

as long as you think it's interesting and fun, then that's enough, isn't it?

What's wrong?

Are you annoyed that I'm talking too much?

Not really. Keep talking! I like listening

because actually, I...

what I like about you the most

is your passion for music.

Really?

Then I... I'll keep going on and on and on.

I want to tell you about everything that I like,

but you can't think that I'm annoying.

I won't because

even if I don't like it, I'll try to like it

because the way I see it,

a perfect love is pardoning each other's imperfections

and not blindly

trying to fit together, right?

I think I'm really lucky.

What are you doing?

I like you so much and you're actually my girlfriend.

Let me tell you all! She's my girlfriend!

Lin Qingshang is my girlfriend!

Lin Qingshang is my girlfriend!

Lin Qingshang! Lin Qingshang is my girlfriend!

Stop staring!

Uncle Qin,

- thank you. - You're welcome.

Stop staring!

Please come inside.

Don't twist your neck staring!

- Deliver these noodles to Old Mr. Huang. - What?

Go!

I've never seen anyone so shameless.

Do I look pretty nice today?

- You're even more shameless! - You're shameless.

Sis, let's hurry up and plan the time

for the next performance.

Then we can start practicing straight away.

It hasn't been that long since this performance ended

and you're already thinking of the next one.

When we performed a few days ago,

so many people stood up and applauded.

They were yelling "bravo!"

We were also trending on Weibo.

You better prepare for your finals first.

That's boring!

- What's going on? - Not this! Did you get it wrong, Uncle Qin?

I asked for the same thing as him.

I didn't order so much.

It's right! It's a new meal that I created.

I only made it for you.

There's one and only serving.

[Daughter-in-law meal] - Daughter-in-law meal?

- Thank you, Uncle. - Enjoy!

Sis, sis, how about you reconsider it?

Eat your food! I'll let you have it all to stuff your mouth.

Hurry and eat! Weren't you hungry?

[Music Hall]

Did you really decide to participate in the competition?

- This is so great! - And I have to get first place.

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

Because I can be closer to the person I like.

Let me tell you! Time is limited.

Xiao Wo, do you want to consider

having a closed practice?

What is that? It sounds so scary!

It's not scary at all.

It's actually an intensive training program arranged by the Conservatory.

The Conservatory will cover all your basic needs.

You just need to practice with care.

Then that means I can't go home

- or have meals that Li Zhenyan cooks. - Enough!

You can eat but you need a lot of practice.

Time is limited so I hope you can think it over.

Okay.

Is it necessary to write that much?

Professor Zhang said I need to shut myself off from the outside world and train before the competition.

Then I can't see you or eat the food you cook.

- If you keep putting things on there, then my refrigerator is going to be full. - Put out your hand!

You're putting it on my hand?

It's your photo? What does this mean?

That way I can be in your hands.

What you mean is I can let go?

I don't care, you figure it out.

Okay. I'll put it here and not let go.

I'm leaving then.

You have to behave when I leave.

You're the one who have to behave.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

The couch without me seems so empty.

Rest assured, I'll be back soon!

Remember to miss me before you sleep!

I'm Fang Xiaowo, we'll fall asleep together.

Are you ready to eat?

I'll be cramming my stomach full of food.

Miss me!

Qin Fen, it's me!

Today, I want to go and take care of something big in my life.

Will you go with me?

Brother, what are you talking about "Something big in your life"?

I even thought something happened with Fang Xiaowo.

I'll be with you wherever you go. I really just...

- I just can't let you pay again. - You have such a big mouth.

Why do you have so much to say?

You... what are you doing? Can you just sit still?

I am sitting still.

- What? Are you nervous? - What? Why should I be nervous?

Driver, we're not there yet, how much longer?

Driver, no need to go so fast! We're not in a rush.

Take it easy. Steady, please! Safety first.

Professor Zhang, I'm here to shut myself off from the - outside - world.

This is so unexpected.

Aren't you fast? Here, let me see!

Did you pack enough clothes?

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

Oh my God!

Are you immigrating or fleeing from famine?

All right! It seems that you've made up your mind.

Since you're being so sincere about this,

before you start this training, I'll treat you. Come!

Are we going for a big meal?

Have some more, Xiao Wo.

Here, let me pick some for you.

Mrs. Zhang, your cooking is amazing! It's exactly like Li Zhenyan's!

His cooking can't be as good as mine.

Come on! Babe, have some shrimp.

Xiaowo is still here.

What about it?

Do you know why I always peel the shrimp for her?

Whenever there's shrimp in our house, I'm always the first to peel them.

You don't know, right? Mrs. Zhang,

Is also a musician, she plays the strings.

I'm afraid her hands would get

cut and worn out by the unpeeled shrimp. You should learn from her.

Do you play the strings? Violin?

- Viola. - You play viola!

Your student is really just like you.

Actually, music brought me and Professor Zhang together.

At that time, Professor Zhang was majoring in piano.

But he specialized in and learned how to compose for me.

He composed so many pieces of music for me because he wanted to have me perform with him.

For a long time now, the viola has always been a supporting role in an orchestra.

But in the music that Professor Zhang composed for me,

the viola became the main role.

When I was preparing to join an orchestra,

I was deeply worried and upset.

He was with me the whole time.

If I hadn't had him to keep me company, I definitely wouldn't make it into an orchestra.

Therefore, music has brought us together.

That's so sweet! I would also like to play music with Li Zhenyan.

You will!

- You will. - You got this.

Eat some more!

Wait a second! Give it to me.

The hands that you use to play the piano, are also hands.

Xiaowo, have more vegetables!

Thank you.
