=Episode 33=

But you're sharing the house with others.

Are you okay to stay alone?

The price is okay.

Also,

the place that I grew up in

is 100 times worse than this.

What place is that?

A dark and greasy place.

It's like the air and the soles are all sticky.

You can't wash it away

and you can't move out.

You've moved out

now.

The legs are yours.

Since you've moved out,

just go wherever you want to go.

Tell the landlord that

I'll get someone to change to a better lock

for your room tomorrow.

Let's go.

Aren't we going to eat?

Let's warm up first.

Check out the new amplifier

that I bought.

I've brought the guitar here for you.

You're getting me to busking

from singing in the bar.

Street performance helps you to get inspired.

Your songs were ruined.

We have to get them back for you.

Continue writing.

It will be better than the old songs.

Look at what I've brought here.

I heard that the place we're going tonight

is lively.

They even have New Year's countdown.

My performance is costly.

I have enough money.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Hello, Mr. Sun.

Madam Wang should've

come back from Hupu, right?

I've bought some food.

I'll visit you in the nursing home later.

About an hour...

Miss He,

I was just about to call you.

Why didn't we see you

in the gathering?

What gathering?

Mr. Xiao sent us to Jifeng

(Yunlan Jifeng Hotel) to celebrate New Year's Day.

Look, it becomes noodles.

I can't even teach him.

My son is bad at this.

I'm making Mandarin rolls.

You're making Mandarin rolls?

Look.

Here.

Xiaoran.

Miss He.

Mr. Sun.

Miss He, you're here.

Madam Wang.

We're making dough figurine.

Isn't it nice?

Yes.

Join us.

It's okay.

Xiaoran.

Here. Come on.

Put your things down.

Yes, there.

This is the highlight of

our gathering,

which is to knead a bun with the face

of the person next to you.

Yes.

Yes.

Just use his face as reference.

Turn around.

Hold on.

Don't move. Let me see.

What are you kneading?

What's this?

Bun.

Bun?

Why does your bun have a tip?

Because it looks like the steamed bun.

Show me yours.

Mine is not done.

I haven't got the face kneaded.

Show me.

Do you have to keep looking at me

for kneading that?

Isn't that good?

Show me yours.

How could you laugh at me?

You're just about the same as me.

No wonder you don't look at me.

Give it back to me.

Two eyes.

The eyebrows are not done.

You only have one eyebrow.

Here are the eyebrows.

The buns are here.

It looks great.

Happy New Year to everyone.

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Bless you.

Let me do it first.

The child is one year older.

Come on. Hurry.

Who eats first? Baby first.

It's tasty.

It's tasty, right?

This looks like you.

It's tasty, right?

It's tasty. I made this.

We made these ourselves.

We're leaving. Thank you.

See you.

Bye.

Be careful.

See you.

Bye.

(Yunlan Jifeng Hotel) Taiyang has to grow taller next year.

Sir, drive carefully.

Okay.

Bye.

Drive slowly.

I wanted to go visit them.

I didn't expect to have come here.

Once Jifeng Homestay is built,

we'll have similar events

with the local nursing homes.

That's great.

I'm going home now.

Don't go.

There'll be New Year's countdown

later over there.

We're going.

Join us.

Counting down with your friends

is not too much, right?

Okay.

Father, they're selling toys there.

I want to buy one.

What's it?

I didn't know that

they're still selling this.

(Time Capsule)

Let's have a deal.

Seven years later

when we're 25 years old,

we'll come here to collect the time capsule.

We must come no matter what happens.

- Okay. - Okay.

Triangle stays forever!

- Triangle stays forever! - Triangle stays forever!

Let's take a photo together.

Be careful, Taiyang.

Let's do it together.

Let's buy one.

This is it.

Mr. Xiao,

make a wish.

No, thanks.

Take one.

From my experience,

the wishes you make

will always come true.

At least half of them.

Write yours.

Mr. Xiao, make a wish then.

No need.

My wish

is now next to me.

We...

Bye.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Mr. Mo,

I want this little ball, too.

This is buried for making wishes.

What wishes do you have

as a kid?

I will give one to you,

okay?

Is that okay?

Here.

Here's the pen.

Madam Fei'er,

how do I write "have"?

What do you want to write?

Let me help you, okay?

I want father to have happiness.

A raise?

Work harder for a raise.

Sure.

Since your father has you,

he's had happiness.

It's different.

It's the kind of happiness

that my classmates' parents have when being together.

Madam Fei'er,

I think you and my father

look like that when you're together.

What are you talking about?

Do you write it horizontally or vertically?

All my friends who are here

for the countdown,

a brand new year

will be here

in another minute.

Let's seal the good, the bad,

the gratitude and

the regret of the past year.

Let's count down together

and open a new chapter.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

- Happy New Year! - Happy New Year!

♪It's you who came for me♪

Xiaoran.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Did you say thank you?

Thank you.

Look at that.

♪You're my forever love♪

♪I've found you♪

♪You're guarding me♪

How's it?

The lighting makes

the stage look huge, right?

It depends on how creative you are.

Let me tell you.

Those who stop by and listen to

you singing on the street

are definitely

impressed by your talents.

I know you.

You are

very emotional.

If your relationship and career

are stained,

you'll be depressed for a while.

It's okay.

Just space out.

Even though

I can't get you

a big stage,

I can be with you

and have fun

on the streets.

Take it as looking for

the first intention of getting on stage

and producing music.

Sui, thank you.

No worries.

What's the next song?

I think I have

the talent for percussion.

I'll stop singing. Let's go home.

Hello, I'm Zhao Li.

This is my card.

(Star Entertainment, Zhao Li) Star Entertainment?

Top three agency in the industry?

Star Entertainment.

Star Entertainment.

Father.

Am I handsome?

Yes.

You look high-spirited like

how your father was.

When you join your classmates

for the New Year's gathering,

you must be

the most handsome boy.

Okay.

Father.

Can I open the gift

Madam Fei'er gave me?

Sure.

She said you can open it

when you wake up.

Let's open it.

(Taiyang. Happy New Year) It's so nice.

This is enough for all my

classmates.

I love Madam Fei'er.

Do you like it that much?

Then I'll need to

learn from Madam Fei'er

on how to

make beautiful sweets.

I'll make them for you.

Only girls will make

beautiful things.

Will you learn?

Xiaoyu's mother

made beautiful cookies.

Mengmeng's mother

made animal buns.

If I can't make it beautiful,

I'll learn a few more times.

This is for Xiaoyu.

This is for Mengmeng.

This is for Mobao.

This is for myself.

This is for Yin Zixiong.

The tree that you're painting

is nothing like

the old tree in Qingshan.

Your mother is an art teacher.

Who says that when one's mother is an art teacher,

the daughter has to be a good painter?

Also,

why are you here

to paint their walls?

Qi's homestay

is closely collaborating with

our nursing home now.

When they start operating,

we'll be their

first batch of customers.

Think about it.

Free trial stay for a week.

We can also hold events here.

It's a good deal.

I should help out.

You just called him Qi.

What's wrong with that?

It's strange to call him

Mr. Xiao.

I see

him as my own

child.

I think he hasn't stayed

with so many elderly people

since he's young.

He's got the feeling of it now.

The color is wrong, miss.

Look.

It's okay.

The tree leave is red now.

I'll paint it round

as an apple tree.

What...

Xiaoran,

do you treat this place as a kindergarten?

But your painting skill

is still as terrible

as before.

So, all my paintings

were amended by you?

What do you think?

Why did you ask

Mr. Sun to get me here?

Are you trying to embarrass me?

Of course not.

Without your draft,

I'm not able to paint it.

That's right.

One of you paints it

and the other amends it.

That's how life is.

Helping each other and clearing each other's mess.

Life will definitely

become better.

Hello.

I'm now at Mountain Linglong.

Really?

Okay, let me ask.

I'll get back to you later.

Li Hui has signed with a new record label.

She asked me to be there.

Go ahead.

Leave the rest to me.

Okay.

Is my painting

that horrible?

Of course not.

Don't worry.

I won't let this place

become a kindergarten.

Mr. Sun, I'm leaving now.

Okay.

Bye.

She has left.

You're quite generous.

I've had enough of the paint smell

for the whole morning

to create the chance for you.

Actually, I understand.

She wants to be careful

and not experience another failure.

It was all my fault.

I didn't make her feel safe enough.

I'll wait patiently this time.

You're young.

This is nothing.

You can still stand up

after failing 10 times.

Also, will you fail her?

Of course not.

That's it.

Paint now.

I need to go back at night.

Here's your drink.

I was waiting for you to come back.

I didn't expect this.

I don't think I can hire you anymore.

Don't worry, Hao.

This is my home.

I'll come often.

You don't know.

You can't help it one day.

The liquor is here.

- Here. - Congratulations

on your signing with a new company.

Thank you.

Someone seems

calm this time.

Star Entertainment is a famous

record label.

Of course I know.

Also, someone can't be

cheated once again, right?

No way.

Speaking of which,

although it's a big company,

this contract

is a bit close to the previous

scam.

Are you not worried?

I'm not going to back down

just because I was cheated once.

Am I that kind of person?

So what if I got cheated?

I'm not afraid.

Someone seems to

have no progress

after coming back

from the homestay.

We're here to celebrate you signing with a new company.

Why are you talking about me?

Yes, the gathering today is about our career.

I'm showing concern.

Here.

Let's celebrate that Hui

has become a professional singer

and she'll become famous.

No way.

I just want to

make my music.

No, we're waiting for Hui

to make us proud.

I like this saying.

We all will be glorified together.

Enough.

Don't talk if you're not good at talking.

He can't say

anything good.

Just be famous yourself.

Don't drag me along.

I'm just being kind.

(Jifeng Elderly Homestay)

Welcome to

Jifeng Elderly Homestay.

This way, please.

Don't worry.

This is definitely the safest.

Even the elderly and the kids can use this.

Also, it helps you sleep well.

When are you going to bed at night,

squeeze it out like this and

drop five drops on it.

Five drops. Great.

Come and try, madam.

Different colors come with different flavors.

I'll be going there.

Okay.

After my father passed away,

I was moved.

Now, there are a lot of

homestays and hotels for family.

But basically, there's no

holiday resort servicing

the elderly.

I think companion

is important to them,

so I founded this

elderly homestay.

I also hope that we all can

spend more time

to be with our parents,

show them concern,

and let them have someone to rely on.

Okay, Mr. Xiao.

That's all for today.

We have enough materials now.

Thank you.

Elderly homestay.

This creativity is not bad.

I'll bring my parents

here for a holiday.

Okay, come at anytime.

Here.

Let's go together?

Go first.

Mr. Xiao, I'm leaving now.

Carry on. See you.

Take care.

How was it, Miss He?

Are you satisfied with today's interview?

You're collaborating with

Xixi Fragrance's KOL

and you got Li Hui here as the guest.

It shows that you're doing it attentively.

As the first

elderly homestay in Wusu,

I really hope that the elderly

can feel like

coming home.

Of course.

You can come anytime

to interview and monitor us.

These two birds...

This is the painting you painted before,

European robin.

You know that?

It's scientifically proven

that in the animal world,

European robin is one of the few birds

that's faithful

to its only partner.

They represent hope and love.

It's my fault.

I wish I got to know this earlier.

But when we were in school...

Do you know this?

When the European robin

tells you it's spring,

spring has already passed.

Let's take a look at

what they're doing there.

Who said it's passed?

A little lesser.

Father.

The fish here is beautiful.

Let me tell you.

This is called koi.

It will bring you good luck.

When you see it next time,

you can make a wish.

Don't give him the wrong information.

You're so unreliable.

How can you put your hope

on the fish?

How can you say that?

Look at the auspicious pictures.

Abundance Year After Year, Babies Carrying Koi,

and Five Koi Fishes in the Lotus Pond.

Those are all with koi.

This is our aspiration

towards a good life.

I'll set them free.

Go now.

Bye.

Father.

It's okay.

Are you okay?

Father.

It's okay.

Don't let others see this.

I almost became a koi.

Yes, this koi is quite big.

Taiyang, let's make a wish.

I wish father and Madam Fei'er

will bring me to the amusement park.

Taiyang,

what wish is this?

Don't you have any wish

that's harder to achieve?

This kid is practical.

He's like his father.

Will you

turn him down?

Of course not.

Taiyang, I promise that

I'll go with you.

Let me get you a towel.

Be careful.

Father,

you almost fell

into the river.

It's okay. It's an accident.

I've achieved what I wanted.

The process is not important.

Hui,

it's so happening inside.

Why are you leaving without saying goodbye?

I'm about to get late for work tonight.

I have two livestreaming and

a magazine shoot.

What does it have to do with singing?

Why do I think you have

less time to

work on music

after being a singer?

Don't you think it's not motivating?

Am I that pretentious?

I need to work. Talk to you another day.

Li Hui,

I think you're not happy.

I regret it.

Thank you.

Hui,

don't come to this kind

of event anymore.

Don't do it for free.

If they're sincere,

get them to

pay you.

You must know that

every second of yours

is valuable.

Jifeng is charitable.

It's an elderly homestay.

Charitable?

Did you take photos?

Quickly post them on Weibo.

Just say that you're here for charity.

You asked us not to come with you.

Otherwise, I'll get them

to take more photos of you

to publicize

your good reputation.

They're my friends.

We're not trying to

use each other for benefits.

You're too naive.

But, the rest will post

some photos.

We'll then

use them.

It's going to be real.

Speaking of Weibo,

delete

your previous posts.

Now, we get haters easily

on the Internet.

From now on, your account

will be handled by the company.

You can't simply post anything.

Hello, Mr. Wang.

How are you?

You want to collaborate with Li Hui?

No problem.

Sure, tell me the details.

(You're just falling out of love.)

(Just cry and make a fuss.)

(This matter won't be over if you hold it in.)

(Although you're not playing the guitar anymore,)

(you can sing well.)

(But if one day,)

(you think of)

(picking up guitar)

(again,)

(and I'm not by your side,)

(look at this.)

(Maybe it'd help.)

Are you venting your anger on me?

Did I

show you too much favor?

Did I spoil you too much?

Hui,

you'll be famous for sure.

You're different from others

because you're glowing.

Why are you here?

(What does this have to do with singing?)

(Why do I think you have)

(less time to)

(work on music)

(after being a singer?)

(Jifeng Elderly Homestay)

You're not going back?

I'll be staying here for a few days.

We've just started the operation.

We can handle some issues immediately.

Why are you still here? Where's Taiyang?

I've asked Mo and Fei'er

to bring him home.

I'm worried about the operation here.

You'll need to handle

the hotel.

I'll shift my focus here.

Are you so confident in me?

You do look like

you're back in the paddy field.

Don't you think

the serenity after the lively event

makes you

feel lonely?

I think someone

can't handle the loneliness.

Is that so obvious?

What do you plan to do?

She looks tough,

but she is lack of

something to be moved easily.

I think girls

used to have

the fantasy and wishes.

I want to find a romantic

and fantastic place

to fill up the sweet memory

that she's been lacking of

since young.

What do you think about the amusement park?

Good luck.

Hui.

Smile more

and it's perfect.

Not bad.

Okay, that's it for today.

Hui.

I think you're suitable

to be cute.

Your style was too neutral.

I still think it's too common.

This style

is rare in the market.

I need to get them to fix it.

Why not we use this

Rock and Roll Loli style as the publicity photos

to test the market?

Do you really think it looks nice?

I dressed up like a feather duster.

We're doing well now,

but the audiences will get tired of this.

We need to keep giving them

new stimulation

in terms of audio and visual.

Hui,

think about it.

You're not alone now.

The whole company and the whole team

are moving forward

together with you.

Just cooperate with us,

okay?

Hello.

(Let's eat together.)

(It's not fun eating alone.)

Yes, pull over here.

Wait for me.

I'll come down and pick you up.

Hui,

let's eat supper together.

The song that you wrote

is not impressive.

I've called a composer friend.

He will be here soon.

I'll go down and pick him up. Hold on.

(I need to work. Maybe next time.)

(Okay.)

The new singer that you signed,

Li Hui,

is really famous lately,

but she has so many works

to do.

What can we do?

The audiences

change very fast.

How long can an artist like her stay famous?

So, we still

need your help.

Where did you find

the treasure?

I'm lucky. She

came to me by herself.

What do you mean by

I came to you by myself?

Hui,

it's good that you're here.

Let me introduce.

This is the...

I was asking you.

What do you mean by

I came to you by myself?

You didn't know about this?

You have a friend called Sui Mingwei,

right?

What does this have to do with him?

Listen to this

demo.

My friend, Li Hui, wrote this.

(Aili Record Label) She's talented. Listen to it.

Li Hui?

Yes.

I'll listen to it.

Thank you.

Drink more.

Bottoms up.

You must

give my friend a chance.

She can really sing well.

Okay.

Please help me

to pass this.

Okay.

Don't forget.

Thank you.

Don't throw it away.

So, he begged you

to come listen to my live performance?

Yes.

He has looked for

all the famous record labels

in Wusu

and showed them your demo.

But, I'm wise.

You don't know

how many of them

regret it so much now.

Sir, are you alone?

The girl next to you is asking

if she can join you.

No, I like eating alone.

Hello, welcome.

Are you alone?

I'll sit with him.

Why are you here?

Is there anything

more important than eating

with my old friend?

What?

Mr. Sui is buying a meal today?

That's for sure.

Order anything you want.

Where is He Xiaoran?

She's just as busy

as you.

Excuse me,

we need the menu.

What do you feel like eating?

Order anything you want.

The most expensive one.

Sure.

Eat this first. I haven't touched it.

Dog.

Be careful.

Where's the dog?

Be careful, Taiyang.

Slow down.

Dog.

Let me take a photo for you, okay?

Dog.

Do you want to take a photo with it?

Yes.

Slow down.

Dog, let's take a photo.

Okay.

Dog, let's take a photo.

Look at the camera.

One, two, three.

So handsome.

So handsome.

Change your pose.

Be happy, Taiyang.

You're blocking your face.

Okay.

Carousel.

Taiyang.

Well, Fei'er, I...

So pathetic.

What's so pathetic?

Why would someone think

amusement park and carousel

are romantic?

Is carousel not romantic?

Those sitting on it

are spinning on the same spot forever.

The circle is pathetic.

And the Ferris wheel.

Kissing at the top

and they'll be together forever?

It's just a few seconds up there

and their relationship will start going down.

There's no forever to speak of.

And the characters.

It looks like they

are giving fun and happiness

to others,

but actually they are just working in the costume

and living in the darkness

inside.

So pathetic.

Why do all the nice things

in the amusement park

sound like

a dark fairy tale to you?

Don't girls have

a princess dream?

To be honest,

although I've become the Princess of Yunduan

for a few years,

I hate the word "princess"

the most.

There's no fairy tale

in the world.

Taiyang.

Snow White and the seven dwarfs

will be there in the castle later.

Do you want to go?

Okay.

Madam Fei'er,

do you like Snow White?

Of course.

Snow White is beautiful.

Madam Fei'er,

you're as beautiful

as Snow White.

Thank you, Taiyang.

I love

Snow White the most.

Okay.

Madam Fei'er,

let's go together.

Let's go.

Well,

what were you trying to ask me?

Nothing.

Let's go.

We need a good spot.

Let's go.

Okay.

Let's go.

Let's go.

It's been a while since I last ate so much.

You don't have to keep fit

as requested by the company?

I'm not fat.

You must be Li Hui.

I really like you.

Can I have your autograph?

Just write "Rock and Roll Forever".

You like rock and roll, too?

Yes.

I like rock and roll because of you.

You're beautiful.

You look cool when you sing.

Thank you.

She's a star.

Yes, a singer.

Can we take a photo together?

Why is there firework?

No, I can't run anymore.

Sui.

If I'm not famous anymore one day,

will you be disappointed?

What do you mean?

I thought after signing the contract,

I can be more famous

and more people

will listen to my songs.

But in fact,

I have endless

social events and activities.

Writing songs is like

my KPI.

They're just using my

popularity

to create wealth for themselves.

They have no time for me

to write songs.

How long have we

not eaten together?

I suddenly realized today that

being casual

is better than being an artist.

What do you mean?

Ever since you signed the contract,

you'd pull a long face

every time we meet.

You looked really depressed.

I think

it's more important to me

that you're happy

instead of

being famous.
