[Master Of My Own]

[Episode 21]

It should be here somewhere.

Okay.

Let's split up and search.

Okay.

These are albums from high school.

We'll need to find the university ones.

I've got the university ones.

Here, look through these.

Okay.

Here.

Yimeng.

Do you remember

how big or thick

the album is?

I took part in an art exhibition.

So it wouldn't be too big.

Something I could easily carry.

Easily carry?

Could it be like a sketchbook?

Probably.

Let's continue searching.

Here.

Is this the one?

"Star Gallery."

Is this it?

Yes, that's the one.

I'm sorry.

Miss Han's painting has been sold.

May we know

the buyer's contact?

I'm sorry.

Our policy

is to keep buyers' information confidential.

Not even the artist can know?

It's imperative that I find

the buyer.

Well...

Alright.

I'll try

and get in touch with the buyer.

See if they're willing to meet.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thanks.

The painting

was previously hung here.

But later,

a customer who dined here

purchased it.

They came to eat
and casually bought the painting?

The guest

seemed particularly fond of the painting.

Is there a way to contact the guest?

Okay, I'll check.

Zhang.

Give Mr. Yang a call.

Will do.

At first,

our boss wasn't going to sell it.

Because he had picked out

the painting himself.

The mood really suited

the restaurant well.

See? Till now,

our boss preferred to leave the wall empty

because he couldn't find

a good replacement.

If that's the case,

why did your boss sell the painting?

From what I recall, that night,

the customer

had a long talk with the boss.

He finally convinced him.

I figured,

since he loves

Miss Han's work so much,

he must have

a special reason.

Then please help me

get in touch with him.

I'd appreciate it.

Okay, I will.

Thank you.

Little girl.

Are your parents home?

What is it, Keke?

Someone's looking for you.

Looking for me?

Do you know them?

No.

Come.

Hello.

Are you Mr. Liu?

The painting is with me.

If you need it

to prove your point,

I'm willing to help.

Thank you.

I'm truly grateful.

I should be the one thanking you.

The painting is upstairs.

Come, I'll show you.

This is my daughter's room.

The painting has always been placed here.

When I first saw it,

it was at a restaurant.

There was a stain in one corner.

I bought it

and did some simple restoration.

May I know

why you picked this painting?

Actually, this painting

was chosen by my daughter.

Right?

Which pot are you watering?

This one first, then that.

Those two.

Okay.

You do it, I'll watch you.

I haven't seen my girl

so happy in a long time.

Is Keke usually not happy?

Actually, when she was two,

her mother

passed away in an accident.

She was still very young then.

But I think that one saying

is so true.

The mother and daughter's hearts are connected.

From then on,

no one could raise the child.

I had to do it myself.

So I raised her alone

while working.

It must have been

a tough time for you.

Thinking about it now,

it was basically a nightmare.

When my girl

started crying,

no one could coax her to stop.

One time, I ran out of ideas.

So I decided to take her for a ride.

We happened to pass by a restaurant

and went inside.

There,

you saw the painting.

The painting

was hung right beside our table.

Keke was still crying

when we arrived at the restaurant.

But the moment she saw your painting,

she stopped crying.

Incredible, right?

Thinking back,

it still feels very surreal.

Do you think it was a coincidence?

I think

it was fate.

I brought her

back there a few more times.

Every time she saw the painting,

she would immediately quiet down.

Same with me.

Whenever I see the painting,

I feel a sense of warmth.

As if I'm being healed.

Miss Han.

I could tell.

This painting

is probably one of your earlier works.

A good piece of artwork

is not all about its technique.

What's more important

is the emotions it portrays.

That's the reason

why I had to buy the painting.

That's why I said,

I should be the one thanking you.

Your painting

accompanied Keke and me

through

a very tough period.

It has a special meaning

in our family.

I never would have expected

that my painting

could be of such use.

I'm delighted

to hear about it from you.

Your painting

gave a lot of courage

to my family.

Hopefully, the same courage

could help you

get back on your feet again.

Keke.

Keke, come here.

Listen to daddy.

Your favorite painting

was done by this lady.

Miss, for you.

Thank you.

Can you teach me how to draw birds?

Of course.

Keke.

What about the other two guests?

This is a lemon flower.

For Miss Ning Meng.

Thanks, Keke.

This is a bitter melon flower.

For the mister with the long face.

Keke, don't be cheeky.

Thanks.

It's getting late.

Why don't you all

stay the night at my place?

We don't want to intrude.

It's no trouble.

You guys might not know.

These days,

there have been thunderstorms in the mountain.

Leaving at this hour

might not be very safe.

Besides,

I think my daughter

enjoys your company.

I'm hoping you guys

could stay a while longer with her.

Miss.

Stay with me for a night.

I want to play with you.

It's up to Miss Han.

Well...

Alright then.

Pretty lady, You Qi.

I won't be

going back tonight.

I'll be back tomorrow. Don't worry.

Miss Han.

You're still up.

The air here is great.

Feels bad to sleep.

Look, you can even see the stars.

It's beautiful.

Ning Meng,

I really want to thank you.

Don't say that.

I didn't do much.

Actually,

I should thank you

for painting such a great piece of art.

Still, I'd like to know.

Do you really think

my paintings are that great?

Of course.

I told you before.

I don't know much about paintings.

But when I saw your work,

I could feel

what it was trying to portray.

It gave off warmth and energy.

You know what?

Before I came back,

I had stopped painting

for a long time.

I couldn't find the will

to create something.

But this incident

really gave me a big boost.

Right now, I have this urge.

The urge to draw.

I get it.

It's like when I find a good project,

I can't help but want to invest.

I get so excited.

Yes, that's right.

That's the feeling.

Looks like

making investments and doing arts

have some similarities.

Yes, surely.

I'm so glad.

This means it won't be long

before

I get to see new work from you.

Hopefully so.

You can do it, Meng.

You'll surely become

a great painter.

You can do it too.

You'll definitely become

a great investor.

A great investor?

Alright, sure.

I'll take it as a good omen.

Well, I'll leave you be.

I'm going to bed.

Okay, goodnight.

I'm going to stay a bit longer.

You're good at comforting others.

Why aren't you sleeping at this hour

but eavesdropping on others?

Eavesdropping on who?

You talk too loudly.

I couldn't sleep.

Sure, I got it.

I'm leaving now.

You can have your peace and quiet.

What?

Thank you.

Meng's already said it.

That was from her.

This "thank you" is from me.

Okay, it's well-received.

Goodnight then.

Goodnight.

Mr. Liu.

Once the matter is resolved,

I will return the painting immediately.

No worries.

Just tell me if you need anything else

in the future.

Miss, this is for you.

Thank you. The flower is lovely.

Miss.

Will you often come to play with me?

Sure.

I'll visit you often.

Okay?

Keke, come.

Time to say goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Bye.

We're off.

Okay. See you.

Thank you.

We're off.

Bye.

Ning Meng.

Mr. Lu, Miss Han.

Senior, what are you doing here?

I called you but couldn't get through.

So I asked You Qi.

You Qi said you were here.

The signal isn't very good here.

I'm just glad you're okay.

Have you settled the problem?

It's done.

Thanks for your concern, Mr. Su.

We're heading back now.

Ning Meng, get in.

Mingming.

I'll take my senior's car.

See you later.

Come.

We're leaving, Mr. Lu. Bye.

Take care on the road.

Let's go.

Did you have a good rest last night?

You could adjust the seat

and have a nap.

I'm good.

I slept well.

Sorry, Senior,

for troubling you to come all this way.

Ning Meng.

It's all good with you.

But your habit of always apologizing

needs to be changed.

Are you hungry?

I bought you some food.

There are cakes and juice.

Can you get them?

I'll do it.

The mountain road is bumpy.

Check if the cake

is still intact.

It's fine.

Senior, you eat.

I'll feed you.

No need to be so polite with me.

You eat.

But it's a three-hour drive

back to Shanghai.

Why don't I drive later?

Just sit back and eat your cake.

Last night,

I met up with some friends

who were visiting in the vicinity.

You don't know.

There were thunderstorms in northern Zhejiang
in the past two days.

Landslides occurred in a few places

on Mount Mogan.

When I heard you were on the mountain,

I got worried.

Eat.

I'll drive slower.

Don't worry. I won't suddenly brake.

Thank you, Senior.

You're welcome.

-Ning Meng.
-Senior.

You go ahead.

You were so quiet,

I worried you were sleepy.

I'm not sleepy. I'm fine.

If you're tired,

tell me.

We can chat

to keep you awake.

Okay.

Then,

let's have a quick chat.

A quick chat won't last us till Shanghai.

Not even halfway.

Let me tell you some jokes.

I'm really good at that.

I didn't know you had such a skill.

I thought

you only knew how to answer
additional questions.

I even gave a performance

at our school's New Year's gala.

Answering additional questions?

Telling jokes.

I'll tell you one.

Dad told me.

(If someone bullied you,)

(hit them with a shovel.)

(I asked him,)

(but I'm a girl.)

(He said, then use)

(a pink shovel to hit them.)

Mingming.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Why didn't you

keep Ning Meng at your company?

Why do you ask?

It's nothing.

I just think

she's quite nice.

She's smart and meticulous.
And has a sunny personality.

It seems like

nothing could stop her.

She's not too bad.

She just has bad taste.

You seem to dislike Su Weiran.

I wouldn't say dislike.

We're just now the same.

So,

you don't want

Ning Meng to be with him.

She can be with whoever

she likes.

It doesn't concern me.

Thanks a lot, Senior.

Go in.

Ning Meng.

Have a good rest.

What do you think, Miss Han?

Looks good.

The reproduction of the colors and details

is good.

What do you think, Mr. Lu?

Pretty good.

I'll make the first order

of 30 treadmills.

I'll gift them to our clients

for them to try out.

Thirty?

That's not a problem.

Thank you, Mr. Lu.

Actually,

we owe Ning Meng the biggest thank you
in this matter.

That's right.

Ning Meng

is Mobi's

biggest contributor.

From pre-investment preparations
to post-management,

she's done a lot.

Not at all. It's only my duty.

By the way,

if everyone is free,

what about I treat you all to dinner?

I'm sorry.

We already have

an appointment tonight.

Right, Mingming?

It's no problem.

We can meet another time.

Okay.

Okay, we'll make our move then.

You're leaving?

Okay.

See you around.

We won't keep you.

Okay, see you.

See you.

We're leaving.

Take care.

Hello, Senior.

Are you free this weekend?

Would you like to make a trip to the campus?

To the campus?

This Sunday morning, I'll be giving a talk

at the recruitment fair of our uni.

We could check out the campus in the afternoon.

What do you think?

I haven't been back since I went overseas.

What about you?

Me too. I've never been back

since I graduated.

Great then.

Join me if you're free.

Okay.

See you this weekend. Bye.

Bye-bye.

I won!

The sun must have risen from the west.

I won.

Not bad, aren't I?

Am I dreaming?

Pinch me.

Oh, shut up. Step aside.

What's the matter?

I heard

the problem with Meng's painting

has already been resolved.

Who told you that?

I'm a limited partner

in the Mobi project.

Did you forget?

Oh, right.

What is it?

You've been out of sorts

the whole night.

What?

Did Meng's artistic aura

make you lose your sanity?

A little bit.

She told me

that she'd give our relationship a go.

What did you say?

I didn't hear you.

Say it again.

Did I hear correctly?

Isn't this what you've been dreaming of?

What's with the expression?

Stunned?

Honestly, I've waited over a decade

for her to say those words.

When she said it herself,

I thought

I'd be overjoyed to hear it.

But it wasn't like what I imagined.

I understand.

If you really feel lost,

I can help direct you.

How about a round of rapid fire questions?

This is based on psychological findings.

Choose one of the two. Let's begin.

Invest or shop?

Invest.

Fencing or swimming?

Fencing.

Ning Meng or Meng?

Ning...

Miss.

Ms. Ning? Who is Ms. Ning?

Ning Meng's sister?

That doesn't count. Childish.

I think

you should tell Meng

your honest feelings

as soon as possible.

It's not too late.

No.

She only just pulled herself together.

I...

Who's the one being childish?

Did you really think you're some grateful child

repaying a deed?

Do you know for sure if your feelings

for Meng are one of love

or familial?

Actually, you know it deep down.

But you won't admit it.

Look at your face right now.

It's scrunched up like a cinnamon roll.

Say you do end up with Meng.

Do you think you two will be happy?

I'm done talking.

Let's spar.

Forget it.

Your condition is bad.

Let's just go drink. Come on.

Let's go.

Hey, Yuhang.

It's Yimeng.

Is Mingming with you?

Hasn't he gone home?

That can't be.

I saw the designated driver

picking him up.

Listen, Meng.

Don't you worry.

I'll call him.

Okay.

Mingming, what...

What are you doing here?

Hello, Yuhang?

He's home.

It's alright.

Okay.

Why didn't you go in?

I wanted to sober up first.

Come, let's go inside.

Can you get up?

Here, slowly.

Why did you drink so much?

Are you feeling okay?

I'm fine.

I'll just stay here for a bit by myself.

Mingming.

Are you

feeling down lately?

I don't want Meng to feel bad.

You're awake.

I drank a lot last night.

Sorry about that.

It's fine.

You and Yuhang

hadn't hung out in a while.

It's okay to drink.

Are you alright? Having a headache?

No, I'm alright.

Mingming.

Accompany me to a place.

Okay.

I haven't skated in years.

I've gotten rusty.

Looks okay to me.

I remember when we were kids,

we would come here

to skate every week.

I could hardly recognize the place

after the renovation.

Look. Is that the man

who coached us

when we were little?

I think so.

But he looks

much older.

That's for sure.

It's been so long.

Whoever it is, they'd all have aged.

I remember him being really fierce.

One time,

he scolded you until you cried.

You got so angry.

You said

you'd never go to his lesson again.

After that,

you only wanted me to teach you.

That's...

Are you sure that happened?

How come I don't remember?

It's been a while since I came back.

This time around,

everything seems quite familiar,

and yet they've also changed.

Mingming.

Thanks for keeping me company

all this while.

You had kept me company in the past.

Now it's my turn to return the favor.

Then how long will you stay with me?

There are things

that can't be measured this way.

Did you realize?

During this period,

you weren't actually happy.

No.

Why would you say that?

Whether or not someone is truly happy

cannot be hidden.

I can tell.

Many times,

you were just being considerate of my feelings.

That's not true.

I did it willingly.

What if I'm not willing?

I want you to be happy.

A relationship has to be mutual.

It's not about one party
giving everything unconditionally

to the other.

It might work for a while

but it's not going to last forever.

I don't really understand what you're saying.

I still remember how you looked

when you first came to our house.

At the time, I really wanted

a little brother.

So during those years,

I really did think of you as my brother.

I know.

Later, when you were in high school,

you told me...

You told me you liked me.

I was really surprised.

But to be honest, when it happened,

I was a little touched.

But you were so young,

and I was about to go abroad. So...

The timing was all wrong.

After so many years,

I thought

you had forgotten about it.

Until that day,

Zeng Yuhang told me in the car

that you've been waiting for me all this while.

Turns out you've not changed at all.

So I was wondering.

Maybe we could make up for the regret

of what we missed then.

Before this,

I really hoped this day would come.

But I'm not sure why...

I do.

Because once you miss it, it's gone.

It's too late and you can't turn back time.

Perhaps it's because

we've both grown up.

Mingming.

I know what it is you're hiding from.

It's not that you didn't change.

It's that you don't want to admit

that you've changed.

Because you're afraid that by admitting it,

it will be like a betrayal to yourself.

But a person

being honest to themselves

is not a betrayal.

Rather, it's being truthful.

Respect your feelings.

And make a sincere decision.

That's the only way to avoid any regrets.

Thank you, Meng.

So there's nothing to be sad about.

The past beautiful memories

will always be there.

No one can take it away or change it.

Now,

it's time for us to move forward.

Go get it!

Go, go!

Here he comes.

Senior scores!

What are you doing?

This is your chance.

Hurry up!

Nice shot.

You're here.

I'll stop here.

Senior.

Let's find a place to sit down.

Let's go.

We can sit here.

Okay.

It's changed quite a lot.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Did my skills worsen?

You're still as good as ever.

I haven't played in a long time.

I just found my touch again.

Back then,

you were our school's MVP.

You led us to an intercollegiate championship.

The last three-pointer in the final match

was scored by you.

You went to that match too?

Of course.

I remember we were the away team.

The crowd was booing at us

and we were being dunked.

Yes, at the time, I felt

the umpire was being unfair.

I was so mad watching the game.

Thinking back,

such unfairness

really was commonplace.

But at the time,

I had the fire in me.

I couldn't accept anything else but a win.

Have you ever thought,

what if that last shot

didn't go in?

I'll be honest with you.

I haven't.

I'm not sure why.

At that moment,

I had a really strong intuition.

That I would be able to score the shot.

And I was going to win the match.

(Here's a song dedicated to all the young people)

(who are bravely chasing their dreams.)

("The brightest star in the sky")

Do you remember this?

The CD you gifted me had this song.

This was my favorite song

in the CD.

Mine too.

♪The hopeful person♪

♪Their loneliness and sighs♪

That day...

That day,

you saw me with your senior, right?

♪I pray to have a transparent soul♪

A present for you.

Wishing you a happy birthday.

I'm off. Bye-bye.

You're here.

Have you eaten?

Yes, I have.

Will you eat with me later then?

Sure.

Come on. Let's go check the classrooms.

Okay.

Which way is it?

That way.

Right.

Let's go.

Is this the classroom?

Yes.

Back then... Let me see.

I think I sat...

Right here.

This was where I sat.

Right.

Now I remember.

Senior.

Why were you so sure

I did not cheat that time?

The cheat sheet

had a lot of wrong answers.

But you got them right on your paper.

You also got the additional question correct.

That question

was set by the lecturer and me.

For someone who could answer it,

why the need to cheat?

How nice.

Feels like we're back to our student days.

Yes.

Can I tell you about what happened

with her and me?
