[Episode 30]

Do you like having this? I thought you told me you liked eating this one more.

- I usually don't eat snacks. - I got a super large bag.

- Xiaowo, be careful! It might explode. - I can't open it.

I want a huge handful.

- Who is it? - Hello Auntie.

Why are you slapping her?

When you gave up on being a professional pianist,

and said you were coming to Paris to study further, I thought it was weird.

It was indeed because of Li Zhenyan.

- Auntie, what really happened is this, Song Ran— - How old are you?

You already want to start dating.

You! This is how you abducted my daughter?

- Do you know how bright her future is? - Mom, it's enough.

- Mom, it's enough. - Who are you?

Enough, you're humiliating me.

Do you really know me?

Have you ever loved me?

This time going back, you must practice diligently.

Make up for the time you lost.

All right, I can go back with you.

Is it enough? Let's go!

Are you okay?

Song Ran's mom is so scary.

Yeah, I knew her since I was little.

Her mom forced her to play 12 hours of piano everyday.

Later, there was a day she couldn't stand it any more, she went out to play with me.

Her mom found out, she tied her to the piano bench.

She couldn't even go to the bathroom.

In the end, she peed on the bench.

From then on, when she practiced piano, she never went to the bathroom.

Is her mom a step-mom?

She's way too cruel.

Actually, in the past when I practiced piano, I've experienced similar pain.

But it was lucky that I escaped from it later on.

So when I see her who is still in the nightmare,

I feel bad for her.

I never thought she is this pitiful.

She appeared as a bright and glamorous piano genius.

I never would've thought she suffered so much behind the scene.

- What do we do with Song Ran's stuff? - It's okay.

Her mom will send people to clean it up later.

I'm not trying to scold you but I just cleaned it up for you, why is it this messy again?

I also didn't frame Song Ran.

Who knew with her pretty face, she would still throw her things everywhere.

Pretty messy!

This is a studio I opened with Teacher Qiao.

This is the recording room and the office is next door.

There are usually many friends recording their songs here.

We've composed lots and lots of songs here.

How is it? Not bad, right?

- Yan Yan. - Teacher Qiao,

this is Caiwei whom I told you about before. This is our Teacher Qiao.

A vocal teacher, he's really skilled.

- Hello, Teacher Qiao. - Hello.

How about today I'll quickly listen to Caiwei's voice?

Actually, vocal nodules is a problem that

most singers will have to encounter so you don't have to worry.

As long as you have enough willpower, you'll be able to overcome this obstacle.

Therefore, take it slow, okay? There's no problem.

Thank you, teacher.

Come on! Let's warm up your voice.

Let's do some vocal exercise. I'll give you a reference note.

You have to forget the academic style from before.

Relax! Relax completely.

How about this? Change the sound into "Ah."

It's still wrong.

Let me assist you.

Wriggle your body.

That's right.

Come again. Let's do it again.

Wriggle and be relaxed. Come, wriggle more.

Teacher Qiao, we're just getting a start today. Why don't we stop today?

- Let's go. - Don't!

- Bye, Teacher Qiao. - Wait!

- Here! - Thank you.

Yan Yan, I was attending class just then and you called me out.

Will Teacher Qiao think I don't respect him?

Why are you thinking so much for? I think that you already let him hear your voice.

I also told him that we were going to leave so there shouldn't be any problem.

You're still not relaxed enough.

If you are more relaxed, then there would be better music.

Just like what Teacher Qiao just said, let's take it slowly.

Okay then.

It's so pretty.

Actually, I bought it in China, I planned to give it to you right away when I came back,

but because of various reasons, I can only give it to you now.

- Do you like it? - I like it.

You gave it to me so, of course, I like it.

Thank you.

Actually, I gave you this necklace

just because I want you to think of it as if I'm by your side.

No matter what you encounter, you'll have the strength to face it.

Li Zhenyan,

it looks like you really like me.

You become a necklace to cling onto me everyday.

Stop joking! I'm being serious.

Fang Xiaowo, no matter what happens,

inside my heart,

you are the most special and greatest existence.

Hence, I hope you have the confidence to do anything.

I know!

I will.

I really like you.

What is it? You have a stiff neck?

Fang Xiaowo, eat when it's time to eat.

Stop thinking about other things! Be careful that you'll choke.

You're not asking who gave me this?

Do we even need to ask?

It must be our Conductor Li Zhenyan.

You're so smart. Does it look nice? Is it pretty?

Its brightness is blinding my eyes. So pretty!

I know.

- Doesn't it look nice? - It's so ugly. Hurry up and eat!

So... about you liking Fang Xiaowo...

when do you plan to tell her?

Is it obvious?

When we were at the dining table, your gaze...

you just didn't say "I love you."

Even a fool could tell.

No, only a fool like Fang Xiaowo couldn't tell.

I'm leaving.

Are you sure that you're not going to tell her?

Until when do you want to keep hiding it?

Am I hiding it?

Who said you have to tell someone that you love her?

Moreover, if I say it, we probably can't even be friends anymore.

That's true!

Do you want me to help you with your troubles?

I heard the best way to solve pain from love

is to love someone else.

I can make the sacrifice.

Putting things everywhere.

Isn't she using this for class?

What are you doing? You didn't take your music sheets to class.

I will get them to you. Send me the address.

Pay attention, pay attention to your left hand.

The root note is on the left hand and also pay attention to the rhythm on the right hand.

This...

has to be slow. Slower!

It has to be slow and this side is for the right hand.

Xiaowo, answer your phone!

Thank you, Professor.

Hello?

Okay.

Professor, my friend is delivering my music sheets to me.

He's outside. Can I go to get them?

- Go ahead! - Thank you, Professor.

Did you bring your music sheets?

- You didn't even answer your phone. I had to ask Professor Zhang for the address. - I was in class.

What class are you going to without your music sheets? It's late.

- Let me introduce to you my teacher. - Don't! I...

Teacher, Teacher! This is whom I always tell you about.

My boyfriend, Li Zhenyan.

Hello, I'm Xiaowo's teacher.

My teacher.

- Li Zhenyan, this— - Don't follow me!

Sorry, Professor! I don't know why he's like this.

Xiaowo, actually I'm his dad,

Li Yazhe.

You're his... his dad?

Then why didn't you tell me?

You also didn't ask me.

I... From my memory,

Li Zhenyan's dad gave Li Zhenyan

a lot of pain since he was young.

I really hated his dad.

But you... during this period of time when you were my teacher, I think

you're a very good person.

I even think you're a very gentle person.

You're very warm.

I'm so confused right now. I...

Xiaowo, I didn't mean to get you involved

but I hope you can understand me.

Hello.

Hello, what do you know?

Do you know that Li Yazhe is Wo Gerui?

Oh well...

So you told me so much for me to leave Paris,

all because of his order, right?

Was it also his arrangement for Fang Xiaowo to learn piano from him?

Do you know that I traveled half of the Earth in order to avoid him?

From Vienna to Shanghai, from Shanghai to Paris, but I didn't expect that he...

he would show up in front of me as Fang Xiaowo's teacher.

Why do you need to cooperate with him this much?

Do you think this is interesting?

You... don't get agitated!

Listen to me! Actually—

Let me tell you! Both of you like to use

simple cruel methods to interfere other people's lives.

From now on, you two stay away from my life.

Hello? Hello?

This time, I won't let you succeed.

You! Didn't the doctor say that after your treatment,

you should answer the phone less and care about others less?

If you aren't listening, I'll take your phone away.

When did the doctor say not to care about others?

Stop forcing me to drink water, I'm full to death. Give it back!

This time is the same.

I will listen to you, okay? After I make a call,

I will give you my phone, okay?

Love you, Elise.

Love you, okay?

Oh hi.

Your son just called me.

He threw a tantrum at me.

What do you plan to do?

I don't want to stall anymore.

I've avoided it for so many years, I have to face the problem,

and then solve it.

You have to think it through very carefully.

It might work in the opposite direction and make your relationship with him even worse.

I have to give it a try.

I don't want to keep lying to him.

Okay.

Good luck, buddy!

Call me anytime you need me, all right?

All right! You, too.

Thank you, my friend.

Dad, that Eiffel Tower is so tall.

I want to be as tall as it is.

No problem!

Spinning around.

Let's be like an airplane.

- Okay! - Okay, let's do it together.

- I want to get taller! - I want to get taller!

I have to return the debt I owe,

but when I really face it,

I don't know what to do.

Not only the Butterfly Orchestra chose

the same song, but they also chose the same date.

So, who is the piano soloist?

Tian Yisong has invited a pianist.

- Oh really? - Did Tian Yisong say that?

He invited a virtuoso so we're f*cked.

So what do you think?

Okay. I will think about it.

I don't understand. What are we doing?

Conductor Li Zhenyan, what do you think is the best solution?

I think we should maybe have an open selection for the new performers.

So you're in charge of it.

- Yes, I will take care of it. - Okay.

- Okay. - Perfect. - Okay.

- Okay. - Okay.

By the way, this Friday, our orchestra will be openly recruiting

all vacancies in each section. Remember to tell Ji Mo.

No matter what, I hope he'll come to our orchestra.

I already told him.

I'll remind him again later.

Zhenyan, don't you like Wo Gerui?

No, Li... this...

That is my teacher.

Xiaowo, do you still remember

you asked me about what those engraved words mean on my table?

I did ask you but you didn't tell me.

[I hate my father]

I engraved that.

It says, "I hate my father."

There's another line of smaller words.

I will grow up someday but I won't be the same adult as you.

I found this sentence when I was young and lived here,

from a picture book called "The Little Prince".

You lived here before?

Why have you never told me?

Did you ask me?

You guys are indeed dad and son. You say particularly the same thing.

What did you say?

Nothing.

When I was young, my dad and mom divorced.

I lived here for half a year and he didn't look for me even once.

Until the last day when I was about to take a flight with my mom to China,

I was so furious that I carved this sentence on the desk.

Then...

won't you able to forgive him?

Forgiving him or not isn't important.

He already disappeared from my life for so long.

There's almost no feeling anymore.

- Why are you here? - I'm not here for you.

I came to deliver the music sheets to Xiaowo.

You're not welcome here.

Your music sheets.

Professor, are you okay?

I'm fine! I already expected this.

He... still doesn't want to see me.

Mom, why is dad still not here?

[I hate my father.]

Dad, don't worry about me.

I'm quite well over here.

I already ate. What about you?

The job that I looked for last time wasn't suitable for me.

I'm looking for one right now. I'm guessing that I can find one soon.

It's fine! Don't worry.

You guys don't even have enough money.

Don't worry about me, okay?

Don't worry! Okay, goodbye.

You still didn't leave?

I... I... forgot to get the music sheets when I left.

It's so late. Why are you' still not going back?

I usually leave around this time.

What is it?

Does it feel different to see the conductor's position from here?

That's right!

It feels more lonely than expected.

Sitting here is still better, you can stay together with everyone.

At least, I'm not alone.

What are you talking about?

The conductor of the orchestra is always together with us.

We're a team. We're all in the same boat.

You are never alone.

Because you had this way of thinking, it's no wonder from the very beginning,

we all felt estranged from you, did you know that?

What... what I mean is that you shouldn't be so tense.

You have to try to get close with everyone.

Treat us sincerely and we will respond.

I will try my best.

Also, I accidentally heard your phone conversation just then.

It sounds like your family doesn't really support you to be a conductor.

- I-I-I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. - It's fine.

It's not like I have to hide it.

My parents support our family by doing odd jobs in other places throughout the year.

So their hope is that I can find a regular job

to have a stable salary and housing.

However, it's hard for our profession to have a good salary and be settle.

That's the reason why they urge me to become a white-collar worker,

or change the profession.

I also want to do what they want,

so that they don't have to worry about me.

But conducting to me,

is truly a dream within my reach.

When I was an assistant conductor,

I would think multiple times a day

when would I be able to stand here,

and conduct an orchestra.

Look at Li Zhenyan and Senior Brother Tian.

They were obsessed with the standing in this position.

The charisma of music is really very scary.

But the more pressure there is in reality, the more I want to cherish it.

Perhaps I'm afraid that I don't have much time left to stand in this position,

so I'm always overdoing it, dragging you all into this,

and forcing you all to keep up with me.

I know!

Everyone, actually, has more or less problems like this.

Each of us cherishes the times we perform together,

so please be at ease.

At least here,

you can try to let go everything that bothers you.

Treat every performance like the last one.

Let us enjoy it to the fullest.

How about it?

You look so smug here.

No, I just used the mask.

How good is it?

It's really amazing! I really like this mask.

I really want to have fine skin like yours.

Then... what you mean is I have to prepare more boxes for you, right?

Did I?

Yes.

Ji Mo! Why are you here?

Is Xiaowo home?

Other than looking for her, you wouldn't look for anyone else.

She's coming back soon. Just come inside and sit for a while.

Okay.

Is there something this time for you to see Xiaowo?

Xiaowo told me that the Lumle Orchestra is recruiting for its members.

I want to give it a try.

I chose a new song.

It's Mozart's oboe concerto.

I want Xiaowo to play the accompaniment.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

I... I-I-I...

I... will go to practice. You guys talk.

Ji Mo, let me tell you.

Fang Xiaowo is so busy recently.

She has to finish the homework Professor Wo Gerui assigned everyday,

but I am not busy at all.

Why don't you ask me?

I still want to wait until Fang Xiaowo comes back to ask if she can do it.

Opportunity knocks but once.

Also, I'm very cheap. Only 50 euros.

What about 50 euros?

For the accompaniment.

Look! I have to practice with you for a few days,

and take the test with you.

Don't you think it's worth it when we add it up?

Are you just trying to make money by helping me practice and playing the accompaniment?

Of course!

What's wrong? Do you think it's too expensive?

All right! Seeing how close we are, 40 euros will do.

30 euros.

20 euros.

Even 20 euros won't do? Are you looking down on me?

Really! I don't care.

- Are you okay? - It's so hot. Hurry and help me wipe it.

What's wrong with you? Will I eat you? Help me wipe it.

Xiaowo, you're back.

That... I'm going to research those

documents that Wo Gerui gave me.

You guys have fun.

Okay! I will help you for free.

Daria, why did you wake up so early today?

I have an important thing to do today.

What is this?

This is for Ji Mo.

I always see him wear casual clothes, I can't stand it anymore.

I spent so much money.

I dare not spend any money recently.

So after this business ends,

I will definitely get him to treat me to a meal.

What are you eating?

Sorry! I found it in the freezer.

Did you buy it?

I didn't find anything else to eat,

- so I ate it. - No.

There's nothing else to eat here.

I couldn't make it in time today. Sorry!

- What I mean is that seems to— - Oh no! Not good! Not good!

I have to leave. Otherwise, I can't make it.

I'm sorry, Darling! I'm going to be late.

Bye-bye, Darling!

This... I think...

I left it there for more than one month.

I'm here! I'm not late right?

- Not yet. - That's good.

What are you carrying?

This is for you. Hurry up to change into it.

- For me? - That's right!

I spent more than half of my monthly allowance on it.

At the end, you didn't even give me 20 euros.

Thank you but I can't take it.

Quit the nonsense!

I don't like indecisive men.

You need it today. Hurry up to change into it.

The performance of the flute seems to be a little bit too simple.

Moreover, there are some problems with intonation.

The timbre is rich and mellow.

Great performance!

You have to be confident when playing this piece.

The technique is good.

This performer is not bad.
