=Dear Little Mermaid=

=Episode 19=

Get a hold of yourself.

We're outside the studio
of Fingertip Comics.

So it's alright

if there's no one else around?

I mean,

you can go in on your own.

This is where I see you off.

Why?

Do you think Xuezhou might
hold a grudge against you?

Don't be afraid, Min.

I can take you to her.

Maybe your performance

might convince her

to let you redeem yourself.
Come on.

That's not it.

I'm only doing this

to make up for my own mistakes.

I won't ask for their forgiveness.

Besides,

I don't want to trouble

Xuezhou

or Qin Ge over this.

I shouldn't go with you.

And don't mention I've been here.

It seems

the recording you got
from Mad Eye Comics

becomes the key to turning the tide.

Of course.

With my brilliant baiting,

the cunning Tian Zhan

confessed to smearing and

and setting us up.

Not bad.

You and Chen Min made
a great team together.

You two put up an
excellent and convincing act.

Certainly.

Min and I

are a match made in heaven!

Our show was perfection!

Is that so?

Wait.

Xuezhou, hear me out.

It seems you and Chen Min

have been very close.

Listen up.

All of this happened
because of Chen Min.

After I'm done with Mad Eye Comics,

I'll deal with him as well.

No.

The cause of everything was my uncle.

We can have our payback on him.

Min wasn't thinking straight back then.

His judgment was clouded.

Maybe we could beat him
up and teach him a lesson.

Then, we give him a second chance.

Okay?

Okay? Please?

Fine, I get it.

I wasn't serious about it.

But it's not up to us to forgive him

for what he's done.

It's up to Qin Ge.

After all,

she is the victim of the whole debacle.

Bai Qijia,

are you sure

this is one of the stops
on Qiqi's wishlist?

Yeah.

I'm not a genius,

so don't lie to me
with your made-up story.

I'm not lying to you.

Everything we did

was what Qiqi wanted.

That included you.

I told Qiqi

the stories of our past.

She said she liked sandpainting as well.

She wished you could toss your worries

and frustrations on the board like sand.

Send them all to the parallel universe.

Don't let them get to you.

There are many parallel universes

in this dimension.

All of your unpleasant memories,

frustrations, and rage

can be unleashed.

You don't need to feel
embarrassed about it.

That's because

when we are in a new world,

everything will start over.

Now,

think of this drawing board

as another parallel universe.

Draw and write anything
you're too scared to express

on this sandpainting.

Indeed.

Every emotion

can be let out in the parallel universe.

Then, everything will start over

in a different world.

Bai Qijia,

what are you doing?

Sorry about that.

It's been too long.
I got a bit rusty at this.

Actually,

this is King Bai.

King Bai?

King Bai would resent you for this!

Let me do it instead.

I'll hold the bag.

Qiqi is waiting for us at school.

Hello, everyone.

This is the first lesson
of the semester.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Mr. Bai Qijia.

Hello, Mr. Bai.

Hello, students.

I'll be taking attendance.

Raise your hand when I say your name.

Qin Ge.

Yes.

Yue Qiqi.

Yes.

Qiqi, could you

introduce yourself to the class?

Hello, everyone.

My name is Yue Qiqi.

I like reading books and comics.

I hope we can all be friends.

Qiqi.

I like reading comics too.

We can binge-read together.

Qin Ge.

Don't be a bad influence.

The deputy is here.

I wouldn't dare, sir.

Where is the deputy?

Qiqi,

have you seen the deputy?

No.

Sir!

What is it?

The deputy is late.

The deputy is late?

Well?

He should get punished for that.

Fine.

How should he be punished

when he's here?

Run five laps around the field!

That is a lot worse than writing

five reading reports.

Stop messing around.
We'll begin the lesson now.

Open your textbooks.

-Over here!
-Come on!

- Go for it!
- Go for it!

Hurry up, I found a good spot.

Hurry up!

Pass the ball!

Go! Go! Go!

Qiqi.

Everyone has

a Rukawa of their heart.

These different versions

of Rukawa can be found on
every basketball court.

So, do you see any Rukawa

that catches your attention?

She is only 14.

Are you sure you should
talk about that?

What's wrong with her age?

I fell in love with Rukawa
when I was ten!

-Awesome.
-Awesome.

Sir, could you help us

get their contacts?

No way.

It's my duty to keep my junior safe.

Whatever.

Qiqi, let's forget about this guy.

Qiqi.

We'll come here every day from now on.

Someday,

we will get their attention.

Hello. Can I have the ball back?

Thanks.

Kids nowadays are
really good at flirting.

It seems

you no longer pique their interest.

Bai Qijia,

I'm letting her get the attention, okay?

Fine.

Qiqi.

The school's library

is super amazing.

There is a multimedia classroom
where you can draw,

and there is a massive hall!

When you feel better,

we'll visit those places together.

Thank you, Miss Bai Qi.

Thank you, Dr. Bai.

I had a lot of fun today.

I'm glad you're happy.

Let's go.

(Qingchuan Chengya High School)

Let's go.

Go on.

This is a true fan.

He even has the sticker pack

from my first book signing.

Actually, you still have a lot of fans.

They have always

been there for you.

You have a new

die-hard fan in front of you.

Some proper observation is still needed.

If you ever ditch me
for another artist,

I'd make you pay.

Qin Ge,

it's a relief to see you cheer up.

I should have done this long ago.

Now I realize

the more hate you receive,

the more love you get.

I should be grateful

to those

who are willing to believe in me.

I hereby announce

that Guru Bai Qi

is back in business!

Welcome back.

Xuezhou and the others

would be glad to see that

you are back.

I'll tell Xuezhou and Little Orange.

They need not worry.

Then,

I do what I always do

to retaliate against
the people that sent me hate.

It's a secret for now.
I'll let you know later.

It was Tian Zhan from Mad Eye Comics

that gave us the order.

He even ordered us to send trolls

to smear Bai Qi's name,

as a way to stall all your projects.

Then, you'll have nothing to work on.

I got this from a reporter.

Along with the recording

Chen Min and Little Orange
got from Tian Zhan,

we can sue Mad Eyes Comics.

Then, with every charge,

they will pay dearly.

We'll make them apologize
and pay the damages.

Let's save the apology

for later.

Miss Bai Qi,

are you going to let this slide?

Are you worried about Min

so you want to spare him?

Are you really getting soft now?

Even if he was used,

he still did it out of his selfishness.

Do you get it?

And after the whole thing escalated,

has he addressed it?

It's not because of him.

And it's not for me either.

I'm doing this
for the fans that love me.

Before they release an apology,

I want to add an independent chapter

about my stance

in my Bubaiqi plan.

I want everyone to know

what kind of person I truly am.

But what if this plan

ends up giving

Mad Eye Comics

an opening?

They could spread even more rumors
to whitewash their actions.

I'm not afraid of them.

I must speak up.

I owe

the fans that support me an explanation.

I'll do whatever I can
to support your plan.

Very well.

We each have a job to do.

As soon as your comic is published,

we must get the PR plans ready.

Little Orange.

Our upcoming plans

might run into conflicts
with Mad Eye Comics.

If you're uncomfortable about this,

I can assign other jobs to you.

That won't be necessary.

It's everyone's duty to punish evil.

I won't side with Tian Zhan just because

he is my uncle.

(Fingertip Comics)

See?

I did my best to fix all of them.

(Honorary Certificate: Best Creative Work)

Bai Qijia...

Look, we can still
see the cracks on this.

But just as

the courage we lost,

we can always pick ourselves up

and move on with our scars.

You are right.

These scars

won't fade with the passage of time.

But that won't

stop us from reaching greater heights

with the pieces we put back together.

I want to add my recent experience

to my comic,

along with my journey as a comic artist.

I want everyone

to meet the new

and better version of me.

You will always have my support.

I'll always be there for you.

(I'd like to use this opportunity)

(to talk about my passion.)

(Ever since I was in high school,)

(I had been passionate)

(about the career of a comic artist.)

(I got into an art school afterward)

(and got one step closer to my dream.)

(I know it takes)

(more than just a pencil to draw.)

(It requires patience.)

(Honorary Certificate)

(I met my two friends, Xuezhou and Min,)

(after I graduated.)

(As for my story with Chen Min,)

(I'm sure you've heard about it.)

(Min and I)

(were the best partners.)

(But due to many reasons,)

(I'd been a trouble for him.)

Boss,

the PR strategy

was sent to your inbox last night.

This is Bai Qi's first chapter

of her self-narrative.

I think

it's the best initial retaliation
against our rival.

Could we save a headline thread

for Qin Ge

for this morning's update?

The content itself is fine.

But you must understand

that public opinions are uncontrollable.

In a struggle for morality,

it comes down to

what the people want to see.

If we choose to

take Bai Qi's side,

we can get in trouble.

Have you considered the consequences?

I have faith in Bai Qi.

I have faith in myself too.

If any problem arises,

I'll take full responsibility

and hand in my resignation.

Very well.

We'll do it your way.

If there are any risks,

we take it together.

Thanks, sir.

How did it go, Xuezhou?

Boss approved our plan.

Really?

Let's get working.

All the best!

Is Miss Bai Qi posting
a new chapter today?

Does it hurt a lot?
You must be careful.

Miss Bai Qi is finally speaking up.

No,

I should gather the fans

and comment on Mad Eye Comics' page.

We must make them apologize.

(I am Chen Min.)

(I'm sorry to have used
the public resources,)

(but I have to answer
for my own mistakes.)

(It was my personal decision)

(to leave Bai Qi Studio.)

(It had nothing to do with Bai Qi.)

(Bai Qi was questioned
and criticized over my leaving,)

(and I apologize for that.)

(I've decided)

(to take a break)

(and sort my thoughts out.)

(Resignation)

Have you lost your mind?

How much is Fingertip Comics paying you?

What did they promise you?

Yes, I've lost my mind.

What can you do about that?

No one promised me anything.

I realized

how stupid

I've been all this time.

I forgot my passion

and ruined my career.

What passion?

You're doing this over

your so-called pride.

You're dooming yourself.

You weren't against the plan

to bring down Bai Qi.

And now you're running away

and bringing us all down with you!

Chen Min, listen up.

You'll have no future
in this field ever again!

Whatever.

I don't really care.

Fine.

Get out of my sight!

You will regret this!

You're the one who will regret this.

What are you staring at?

Are you quitting as well?

Sorry.

I've made you worried.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

But I charge a hefty fee, you know?

Fine, I get it.

I'll buy you food.

I'm paying for all your meals

for the entire month.

I like the sound of it.

Qin Ge.

Chen Min just issued an apology.

He is withdrawing from his career.

Min.

I read your statement.

You can leave the apology statement,

but please don't quit just yet.

Miss Bai Qi is a kind person.

She will forgive you.

Besides, our studio is hiring.

You could come back.

Little Orange.

I can't go back.

Why not?

You were Miss Bai Qi's

best partner.

With you on our team,

we'll do better than before.

But I'll face scrutiny.

I must atone for my mistake.

But Min...

Here.

How do I open this thing?

I'm crying my heart out.
What's so funny?

Are you giving up on comics for good?

But I chose to become a comic artist

because of you.

If you quit,

I don't know how long I'll last.

Alright.

Don't get so upset.

I never said I was giving up for good.

Someday,

I might make a comeback.

Do you mean it?

Stay with Qin Ge.

Min.

I want some time for myself.

Qin Ge, if you want Min

to be back on the team,

I won't say no to that.

Never mind.

I know him too well.

He's not coming back.

I need to go out.

You just came back.
Where are you going now?

Something just came to my mind.

I'll treat you to dinner later.

What is she hiding anyway?

(Mad Eye Comics)

Isn't that Bai Qi?
What is she doing here?

- What is she doing here?
- What does she want?

Mr. Tian.

Hello.

Bai Qi?

You actually

have the nerve to come here alone.

What do you want?

Judging by the tone,

I'll make it brief.

I want to have a word

about Chen Min's resignation.

Chen Min?

He betrayed you and me.

What is there to talk about?

Chen Min is an outstanding

and talented comic artist.

With proper training,

he will deliver comics
that the fans will love

and are profitable for the company.

However,

you used him and led him astray.

That wasn't Chen Min's fault.

It's Mad Eye Comics' fault

for not seeing the bigger picture.

Are you here seeking justice for him?

Indeed.

Heed my warning.

Chen Min apologized and quit

to save your face.

If you continue to
put the blame on him,

I won't hesitate to intervene.

Please,

my methods may be cruel,

but I'm not as despicable as you think.

I will admit my defeat in business.

I do admire Chen Min.

However,

he chose to betray me.

I find that to be such a shame.

I hope you're not lying.

Here.

Thanks.

Don't mention it.

I'm surprised you had the courage

to quit and apologize.

I'm even more surprised

that you'd come to me.

I am only

making up for my stupid mistakes.

I'm here

because I need your help.

What is it?

Do you have a message for Qin Ge?

I'm too ashamed

to talk to her.

So I need you

to send her a message for me.

Here's my message.

"Qin Ge,

you've been a qualified idol,

but I've failed as a friend."

"I tried to run after the light,

but I've lost my directions."

"I hope that

you never give up on the light."

I have a message for you too, Bai Qijia.

I owe you an apology.

I used to think of you

as the man who would hurt her,

that only I

could keep her safe.

But now I realized

that I'd been the one holding the knife.

Thankfully,

you've been there for her.

As I said,

I'll always be with her

and give her my support.

That's all I need to hear.

It's time for me to start over.

See you later.

(Inpatient Department)

(I miss the good old days.)

(Life was simple and happy.)

(I thought)

(that was how my life would be.)

(Sometimes, goodbyes are inevitable.)

(We can find our way again.)

(The light will shine bright again.)

(The future is not over,
so let's not give up.)

(Until then.)

My parents will be here tomorrow

to discuss our wedding.

Okay.

What did you say?

I'm not a kid anymore.

It's time I had my family.

They will be here to settle everything.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

We've been living together for so long.

It's only natural that we get married.

Lu Tian,

you can't decide on everything
without asking for my opinion.

What's wrong?

I am discussing it with you now, right?

Your parents are coming tomorrow,

and we're only discussing it now?

Where are you going?

I'm sleeping in the living room tonight.

I don't want to argue with you.

Hey...

Why did you get so upset?

Isn't it normal

to meet the parents
before getting married?

Why are you so upset?

It's too soon.

It's not the right time.

So when is the right time?

Or maybe

you never want to marry me.

Say whatever you want.

I am not meeting your parents tomorrow.

Tell them I say sorry.

I get it.

You can stay.

I'll go.

Come on. Drink up!

Don't be such a wimp.

Can't you handle some drink?

Drink up!

We're getting wasted tonight!

Drink up!

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

Xuezhou?

What took you so long?

Allow me to introduce her.

This is my girlfriend, Lin Xuezhou.

Madam, do you need a drink?

Nice to meet you.

Sorry, but Lu Tian is drunk.

I should take him home.

Come on.

I'm not going home.

If I went home,
we'd get into another quarrel.

Lu Tian, you're drunk.

Let's talk when we go home, okay?

Come on.

I'm not going anywhere!

I want to make it clear right here!

This relationship is exhausting.

What do you mean?

Ever since we started dating,

I've always listened to you.

I was worried the slightest mistake

would upset you.

I trod carefully every day

and tried my best to
guess what you want and like.

I wished I could just

make a note of everything on my hand.

What about you?

You only care about yourself

and your career.

You never care about me!

What's wrong?

- I don't have a place in your heart.
- I don't know either.

You never care.

You never care about me at all.

Sorry, Lu Tian is really drunk now.

Please look after him

and send him home later.

Sure.

Stop drinking.
You should go home with her.

Yeah.

Take it easy.

Keep yourself warm.

I got it.

Who could it be at this hour?

Xuezhou?

Why are you here?
