[First Romance]

Xiao Bai, can I stay over tonight?

What are you thinking about?

Nothing much.

Wait.

You left in such a hurry last night, you forgot your wallet.

I had some urgent things at school yesterday so I had to rush back.

Thanks! I thought I had lost it.

Recently you've...

I've what?

Have you seen Xiao Xiong recently?

Since the last time we went out on a date, she's been avoiding me.

Maybe I was too forward and scared her?

You're her best friend, help me decipher this.

I haven't seen her either recently.

She might be busy practicing.

Also, it's not like you didn't know her heart was somewhere else.

Oh, I know! But does it affect me liking her?

No, doesn't affect it. Doesn't affect it.

Or maybe I need to be more forward.

Coach looking for you?

Bai Yuze. He said he wanted to take me out to take photos.

Take photos out? What does he want?

I don't know.

Too awkward! I have told him multiple times that I like Yan Ke,

but have I not been clear?

Let me help you with this.

In the future keep some distance from him,

and just focus on Yan Ke.

I thought you didn't fancy Yan Ke. Changed your mind?

That's me "picking the tallest one out of a room of shorties." In that case, your Yan Ke does seem pretty exceptional.

Are you going to the concert with him tomorrow?

Oh my goodness! I get a headache just thinking about this.

I mean why are the names of the artists so complicated?

Why can't they be easier to remember?

And all those program names! They're all numbers. I get them confused!

But I still have to prepare nicely.

If you had prepared for the exam this much, you would have definitely passed!

The exam is not Yan Ke.

This crazy woman.

Can a concert give Yan Ke inspiration?

Aye, never mind.

We'll just go with it.

Royal Belgian Philharmonic Orchestra?

I think the one Yan Ke likes is also Belgian?

What's the name again?

B... B...

It's called...

Belgium...

What's this?

Music composer for tomorrow seems to be this guy, too.

Okay, never mind, let me first memorize two parts.

Xiao Xiong.

Why are you late?

Let's revise, quick.

Yan Ke, concert after class?

Xiao Xiong!

Let's meet by the door later!

- Xiao Xiong, what's going on? - That's right.

It's nothing.

Wow! What's the situation here?

What else could it be?

Xiao Xiong has a one-sided love for Yan Ke.

Tell the truth.

You're hiding it quite well, eh?

No, no, no...

Yan Ke, the composer and philosopher for today's finale

seem to be from Belgian.

Billy Herrington.

Who?

This Billy Herrington is a great composer.

The musical philosophies he stood for were considered milestones in composition theory history.

He's always a king in the music world.

This kind of new cultural change in perspective towards the structuring of humanitarian works also fully reflected

the judgment and retribution that the local population had towards the old cultural views...

Wait! Do you know what you're talking about?

I know. Humanity and beauty.

Promise to stop checking related information in the future again.

So, this is what a concert hall looks like.

Do you think you'll perform in these music halls in the future?

Maybe.

In the future when you perform here, I'll root for you in the front row!

It's starting. I must pay attention and enjoy it.

Sound good?

Mmm, it sounds good.

How could I fall asleep while listening?

It seems like I missed the finale.

You only missed the finale?

I think you started sleeping since the first song, right?

Huh?

The first one was that long?

Was the performance not exciting enough?

No definitely not.

Definitely not. Probably because I'm tired from practices.

I usually don't doze off that fast.

Oh, that's probably it.

Why don't we exercise our muscles next?

Come with me!

Why is it you?

Xiao Xiong has something on.

Another life event?

Anyway, she doesn't know photography.

I paid for your fees. Of course, I shouldn't let this go to waste.

Let's go!

Okay, let's go!

Let me get it. Pass the bag to me, too.

You're carrying too much stuff.

Don't worry!

Where are we going?

Why are you taking photos of a food street?

Because after this week, this old street will be demolished.

If we don’t take photos, no one will remember it.

Why did you suddenly take on this type of task?

It doesn’t match with your usual style.

Of course, it’s because it pays well.

It turns out that this small food street is actually quite lively.

In the past, it was even more lively.

Look at that tea shop.

It was previously a Hunan noodle shop.

Beside it is a shop selling stinky tofu.

Both shops couldn’t always see eye to eye.

After that, the milk tea shop suddenly exploded in popularity,

and the stinky tofu stall was forced to leave.

There were some mobile stalls over there, too.

I don’t know where they’ve gone to.

Do you come here often?

Not really.

Occasionally after I finish taking photos, I’ll come here to have a bite.

I wouldn’t have guessed. You’re actually quite down-to-earth.

Then, what did you guess?

Forget it. That is their life.

Your help won’t be of any use.

You have no conscience.

When you were younger, didn’t your teacher teach you that

it’s easy to help others?

That’s just a lie which is said to good kids like you.

Think about it. Your simple act will indeed help him to move his things.

But can you help him to change his job?

It’s just like this old street.

We can only watch it disappear.

Then take some photos.

What else can we do?

Every one of us has to take responsibility for his own life.

You and I are the same.

I'm really blind.

He treats life as a game

and knows nothing about suffering.

♪ But I forgot the way I came ♪

♪ and don't know how to get home ♪

♪ I hurried to ask him who brought me here? ♪

♪ I hurried to ask him who brought me here? ♪

♪ Who bought me here? ♪

♪ Who bought me here? ♪

♪ Who bought me here? ♪

Wow!

- What? - It seems like he’s out of tune.

- Huh? - It seems like he’s out of tune!

Our lead singer can’t possibly be out of tune! If you don’t know, don’t simply say such things!

Anyway, the lead singer is often out of tune. If it weren’t for our guitarist doing his best to set the tune right,

- who knows what he’s singing! - Say that again!

- Hey, what're you trying to say! - Who're you !

Say that again.

He's clearly off-key.

Our guitar player is better looking.

That's right.

Say that again.

- Are you all right? - I’m all right.

Are you all right?

I’m all right.

What a strange place.

That place was recommended to me by Dingding.

I’ve never gone there before. I didn’t know it would be that wild.

Then... what’s our next stop?

Next stop? Your house.

Strawberries for sale!

Fragrant and sweet strawberries!

- Uncle. - Young man, are you buying strawberries?

How much does a pound of them cost?

Eight yuan.

I grew them at my own house.

I don’t use any pesticides at all.

Uncle, can you even sell your strawberries when you set up your stall here?

At the food street,

they charge you a fee for setting up a stall.

The small sum of money I earn

isn’t even enough to pay for the rent.

Uncle, your strawberries...

- I want them all. - What?

I want them all!

- Thank you, young man! - Don’t mention it.

Pack them up.

Come, come.

Why is this person acting differently each time?

What is it?

You look like you’re cold.

If you get sick, it’s not considered a work injury.

Are you ready?

Round one.

Ready, go!

- Where are you? - I’m in front. I’m in front.

You’ve gone in.

Change it, change it.

Hurry up.

Save me first.

I’m not saving you.

The princess is mine.

Do you want to eat?

Do you still want to play?

[Deities of Cathaysia]

Deities of Cathaysia?

♫ Suiren uses the light of stars into fire to shine the country ♫

♫ Shennong tastes hundreds of herbs and drinks waters from thousands of rivers ♫

♫ Nuwa chops off feet of the huge turtle Ao to set up the foundation of the nation ♫

♫ In chaos Chiyou fights against Huangdi ♫

Yan Ke, you’re here.

Sit!

I have good news for you.

Teacher, I think—

Yan Ke, I was able to secure another chance for the music department to participate in the competition.

You guys practice properly.

Teacher...

Don’t be stressed. All the best!

I’ll have to change the pillow.

This is Yan Ke’s house?

Yan Ke?

Yan Ke?

Yan Ke’s scent.

Smells good.

Little bear.

I really envy you.

Every day, you can watch Yan Ke sleep.

Your life is really good.

How is it so good?

There’s breakfast on the table.

Remember to eat it. Something came up so I went back to school first.

He’s so attentive.

I’ll take a photo.

Very delicious.

- Xiong Yifan. - Coach.

Focus on taking the time to practice right now.

In a week, you'll need to go join the university students' Olympics.

Me? I thought you'd have to be a sophomore to participate?

There's a sophomore that got injured,

you're a temporary substitute.

But I think my grades are not enough to participate right now, right?

At this special time, you have to shoulder this important task.

This competition is also a good opportunity for you.

Make a breakthrough and bring glory to the school.

Wait for me!

You can't escape this! Continue practicing!

Joining a classical competition?

I thought our right got revoked?

The coach got this opportunity for us.

If we start practicing right away, we still have time!

But our group doesn't even have the practice room anymore,

how are we supposed to practice?

Won't it look bad to join the competition without practice?

If I knew I'd be so unfortunate this year,

I never would've become the head of our classical band!

Now I've caused us to lose even our practice room.

Unless a free and spacious music practice room just happens to drop out of the sky,

everything is done for.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!

2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!

3, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!

4, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, stop!

Okay, class over!

Thank you, Teacher!

Xiao Song.

Are you looking for Boss? She’s not here.

Actually, I'm looking for you.

So...

- I have a... sort of a big favor to ask of you. - Oh crap, oh crap, here it comes..

I'm wondering... if...

Can you... ?

No!

So even borrowing this place for group practice

is not possible?

Okay, okay. Definitely, okay.

[Qiqi Fitness Center]

Hey, Yan Ke.

Thank you!

So the reason you came... is to borrow a practice room?

Yeah!

What did you think?

Nothing.

Xiao Song, thank you.

This time, you’ve done us a huge favor.

Don't worry about it. It's all for Boss's sake.

Besides, there's not much use for it always being empty.

If you need anything, let me know!

Okay, thank you!

All right... I'm going to go to class.

Bye!

I have something that I’d like to discuss with everyone.

Regarding the song for this competition,

I have a little thought of my own.

Eat slowly, or else you'll choke on it.

No. I have to go for training in a while.

You’re working too hard. Can your body handle it?

I can't help it. I have to go train.

I can’t let them down.

You’re too stressed, right?

Keep going like this, and you're going to die out before you even set foot in the arena.

A small body with lots of strength. I don't have a problem.

Here have another sip!

Oh right! Do you know what Yan Ke has been doing recently?

Why?

He's at Qiqi's gym, leading practice with those other classical musicians.

Qiqi Fitness Center?

Wait a second.

Brother Ji, your violin

has no problems in terms of intonation and rhythm.

But when you first start,

it's a bit too loud.

Okay, I got it. Let me try again.

Let's try it again, okay?

Thank you.

You practiced so late by yourself?

The competition is happening soon,

but I don't have any faith in myself

so I wanted to practice a bit more.

Do you feel pressure?

Hmm, yes. It's my first time representing students joining the competition,

but I feel like with my current status I won't be able to do it.

But didn't you say before

that to you, javelin is something that brings you happiness?

It is! But I just realized that

doing something you like

also comes with its worries.

That’s because you have expectations of yourself.

The old you...

just had to focus on enjoying the exercise.

But now that you want to do even better,

you’ll lose your way.

Just like me before.

I had been too focused and too anxious about playing the piano,

so I forgot why I started doing music.

Do you still remember what you told me at the time?

Don’t think too much.

Don’t care about what other people think, because the only person you can surpass

is yourself.

I...

Can I do it?

Why not?

We all can.

Want to listen?

♫ I met you first ♫

♫ I knew you would be mine, no regrets ♫

♫ I set my ship to sail, for you ♫

♫ I set my ship to sail, for you ♫

♫ But the stars didn't fall ♫

♫ And your heart didn't burst so they sent Hercules ♫

♫ To stop me. With the blood in my bones ♫

♫ And the fire in my boots, I will stay here ♫

♫ Fighting for you ♫

- It's you? - Yes, it's me!

Why? Did you miss me, not having seen me for the past few days?

- It's on my way. - It's on your way every day?

Spit it out. What do you want?

I think I should ask you this question.

On the surface, you're all diehard and have eyes only for Xiao Xiong,

but secretly, you're a big playboy who flirts and fraternizes with all sorts of different girls. (T/N: having "3 in the morning, but 4 in the evening")

What is your motive for getting close to Xiao Xiong?

When have I secretly "flirted and fraternized"?

I've always done so openly!

Moreover, if I really don't sow discord,

then wouldn't you be in danger by following me?

Don't keep following me! Be careful of falling in love with me!

Douchebag!

Why am I so nervous?

Look at yourself!

You're not nervous?

I have my wife by my side, why would I be nervous?

Let your wife...

Sorry I can't cheer for you at the venue.

- Good luck with your competition. - Let's exchange.

Good luck to you, too.

You can even smile like that just by looking at your phone.

If Yan Ke were to watch you compete, you would perform extraordinarily well.

God really grants people's wishes.

Why are both your competitions on the same day?

Even though I can't personally see him compete but it's fine

because once I think about how he's working hard for his dream,

then I feel charged.

I'm so sleepy.

So boring.

Does he only know how to play this?

It's Deities of Cathaysia.

This isn't the piece for the competition.

[Judge]

Bravo!

- Classical Music Club is great! - Classical Music Club will win!

Go for it, Classical Music Club!

Everyone has this kind of person in their heart.

You miss and care about them the most.

When you are helpless, the one who gives you strength

happens to be him.

This person may be near or far, or out of reach,

but they're like a mirror

reflecting yourself that you don't even know of,

because this person's existence

allows us to use his eyes to broaden our horizons.

Hence, you became a better "you."

Some mirrors reflect a different person from who you are,

but you can see the similar throbbings in the depth of your souls.

Some mirrors reflect the people that you're most familiar with

but you didn't discover the small changes in their hearts,

and these mirrors reflect different types of "you."

Every "you" grows up.

This means that you're going far away.
