[First Romance]

[Episode 21]

Xiao Xiong, I'll wait for you.

Xiao Xiong, fighting! I'm confident in you!

Boss, fighting!

Boss, you’re the best!

Yan Ke.

Yan Ke.

Yan Ke.

You are awake?

- How is your hand? - It's a lot better.

It seems like your dad is looking for you.

[We’ve arrived. Reply once you’ve received this message.]

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Nothing.

But your hand...

Oh. It's fine now, nothing much.

You look so tired.

Go back and rest, okay?

Then go see your dad. There must be something urgent if he came from so far for you.

Go rest.

- But you... - I'm fine.

Dingding and them will come over later. If they are here, you can relax.

If the doctor tells me anything, I will call you immediately.

Okay. Go back.

Don't move. Please don't move.

Then go back.

I won't move.

Okay.

Wait for me.

Rest well.

I'm leaving.

Yan Ke.

Okay. We are going over immediately. You can leave first.

What happened?

Yan Ke needs to go out for a second. Let's go to the hospital to be with Boss.

Dingding,

do you think Boss’s hand is really...

What nonsense are you talking about? Don’t jinx it! Walk faster!

Yes. Our boss is a lucky girl. She'll definitely be fine.

Let’s go and buy some chicken feet for Boss.

Xiong Yifan,

where is your family?

It's fine. You can just tell me.

Your report came out.

Thank you.

What should I do?

Son is back.

Wash your hands. We are going to eat soon.

Here, Old Yan. Have some tea.

Dad.

How are the preparations going for your studies abroad?

Today, I went to see Counsellor Tang.

You can start the school transfer process.

Dad, didn’t I say before that I’ll handle this myself?

Now is not the time.

Right now is not the time.

Then, when is the time?

Do you think you’re still a child?

You still have a lot of time to waste, right?

Yan Ke, let me tell you.

Since you ignored our discouragement and chose to pursue arts,

you’ll have to work a hundred, a thousand times, harder than others.

Don't force me.

Okay. I am forcing you.

One day, you’ll look back on this and thank me.

- I'm going to take care of the paperwork for you. - Dad!

Old Yan, what are you doing?

What are you dragging me for?

Why are you so anxious? Look! Your wrinkles show when you're angry.

- Okay, okay. - Get those ready for me.

Okay.

What are you doing? Was that necessary?

Here you go again.

- What did I do? - You’re the one spoiling him.

Yes, yes! I’m the one spoiling him.

Here, have some tea. Don’t be angry.

Oh no! Look at how bad my memory is.

Son, I forgot to buy laundry detergent. Go.

Go help Mom to buy some laundry detergent.

Go.

Okay. Drink some tea.

- Put it there. - Sure.

You got discharged today? Why didn’t you stay for two more days?

The doctor said that I can just go back for a check-up.

I hurt my hand not my leg.

The hospital won’t let me stay for so long.

Then, do you want to tell Yan Ke?

I don't think so.

His parents came. We shouldn't bother him.

It’s a minor injury. It’s fine.

Go to class.

Go.

Why don't I stay here with you tonight?

You really don't have to.

Okay. Hurry and go.

Then I'm leaving.

If anything comes up, I’ll give you a call. I won’t hold back.

I'm really leaving.

Bye-bye.

How is Boss? What should we do now?

She’s putting on a brave front.

But we need to give her some time. Something so serious happened.

No one can accept it that fast.

Then, should we tell Yan Ke?

Boss won't let me.

How is it possible she can't throw a javelin anymore?

We’ve seen Boss work hard for so many years.

Did all of that go to waste?

Come, you.

You have to start running. Your movements must be precise.

Talk with me.

Senior Sister, I think

I should officially drop out of the javelin team.

Then, what do you plan on doing next?

I don't know.

Besides throwing the javelin, I don’t know what else I can do.

The road of life is long,

and it's not a one-way road.

No matter what you choose, we will support you.

Don't forget. There are people beside you who care about you.

Who is it?

- Xiao Xiong? - Auntie.

Did you come to see Yan Ke?

Come on in.

Come in.

Thank you, Auntie.

He went out. He should be back soon.

I'm going to help tidy up for him. You can help yourself.

- I'll pour you some water. - Thank you, Auntie.

Oh no, will she find out about our relationship?

Is it strange for me to just show up randomly?

Xiao Xiong, there is milk and orange juice,

Which one do you want?

I’m fine with either. Don’t trouble yourself, Auntie.

It’s no trouble. Then, you can drink some orange juice.

Increase your vitamin C.

- Don’t stand. Have a seat. - Okay.

Here.

But I just took it out from the fridge. It’s a little too cold.

Leave it out for a while.

- Girls have to give birth in the future. Don’t drink beverages that are too cold. - Thank you.

What happened to your hand?

It’s nothing. When I was exercising, I accidentally sprained it. I’m used to it.

That's not okay. This type of joint injury

could become a permanent problem if it doesn't heal well.

Oh right! Didn’t you previously teach me how to choose pork hocks?

- Now, I even know how to choose pork shanks. - Really?

I happen to have some. I’ll stew them for you to eat.

You should eat the corresponding body part you've injured to help it get better.

Okay.

- I'll have to trouble you then. - No worries.

Isn’t this the music academy that Yan Ke wants to go to?

Your dad seems to be looking for you.

What's wrong? Did something happen? [We're here. Return immediately when you see this.]

It's fine.

I will always be by your side.

Auntie, I still have something urgent to do. I’ll go first. I’ll visit you again next time.

Xiao Xiong!

Why did she leave so fast?

I haven’t stewed the pork shanks.

♫ The breeze gently caresses your eyes, It's my smiling face ♫

♫ The rain drizzle, drop by drop, hitting my heart is your side profile ♫

♫ Recalling the nostalgia when we first met with the slightest sweetness ♫

♫ However, you and I merely exist in those memories that we’ll look back on ♫

♫ The predictions that have been tacitly understood between us have yet to be realized ♫

- Mom. - You're back.

Come. Let me tell you something.

- Xiao Xiong just came to see you. - Where is she?

I don't know. I was working in the kitchen and suddenly

she said she had something to do and left. I also don’t know what happened.

She was sitting there.

Mom, I'll be back soon.

What's wrong?

- Where are you going? - Come back early.

Such a slacker.

No, I have to go to the school tomorrow

to take care all the paperwork for him.

♫ The moments we walked together ♫

♫ Just we wait for the dawn, let's meet again ♫

[Yan Ke]

Why aren't you picking up my calls?

I didn't hear them. Sorry.

I heard that you came to see me.

Why did you leave?

Because... my senior sister gave me a call at the time.

She wanted me to come to the gym, so I went.

- Really? - Really. Why would I lie to you?

You haven't told me about your hand.

It's fine. It's really fine. I'm going to the hospital tomorrow to remove the stitches.

You don't have to worry.

Let's go for a date tomorrow, okay?

[Female Dormitory. No guys allowed]

Do you know about the situation?

How cute.

Wow!

I haven’t seen cotton candy being sold on the streets for a really long time.

You want to try it? Let's go.

Hello, boss. One cotton candy, please.

- Strawberry flavor. - Okay.

Xiao Xiong's hand probably won't return to normal.

She can't throw the javelin anymore.

Thank you.

Yan Ke, try it.

It's good, right?

It's on your mouth.

Let's go.

I am so happy today.

- But don't you think time passed too fast? - Yeah.

Why don't we go to my house?

Isn't it not a good time with Uncle and Aunt there?

Why are you laughing?

My parents are staying in a hotel tonight.

They aren't there.

What were you thinking of?

N-Nothing... I’m not thinking of anything.

I didn't think of anything. Let's go.

Do you know why I like you?

Not because I'm handsome?

Then, do you know when you are the most handsome?

When?

When you are playing the piano.

Because I think that when you are playing the piano,

you’re doing something that you like the most.

When you play, it's like you're glowing; so you look really handsome.

I hope you can always be that handsome.

Xiao Xiong,

I also want you to know.

No matter what you like to do,

or what kind of person you become,

I will always like you.

I'll get you some water.

♫ Among the crowd, is the gaze that you and I exchanged ♫

♫ Meeting you in my dreams, And seeing your face again ♫

♫ Before meeting ♫

♫ The kun strings are restless ♫

♫ Just we wait for the dawn, let's meet again ♫

Yan Ke, I'm sorry.

♫ The rain drizzle, drop by drop, hitting my heart is your side profile ♫

♫ Recalling the nostalgia when we first met with the slightest sweetness ♫

- All right, I’ll go home by myself today. - I can take you.

No need. Go back and rest. I can do it.

The bus is about to leave. Bye-bye.

Then I'm getting on. Bye-bye.

But...

♫ Before meeting ♫

♫ The kun strings are restless ♫

♫ Possible picture with you ♫

Go!

♫ Before leaving ♫

♫ It's the smoke from last night spring rain ♫

♫ Take another loo, Missing you turns into yearning gradually ♫

♫ Before dawn ♫

♫ There's a whisper of an oath ♫

♫ The moments we walked together ♫

♫ Just we wait for the dawn, let's meet again ♫

You're busy?

What happened?

- It’s fine. - It’s bleeding. Wait a moment.

How could you be so careless?

Does it hurt?

Give me your hand.

Is this okay?

These past two days you've been really absent-minded.

What’s going on? Is something bothering you?

If one day, I’m saying if,

your hand got injured and you could never take photos again,

what would you do?

If my hand got injured and I couldn’t take photos,

I would probably... change careers.

Anyway, I’m so handsome.

I don't need to worry about starving.

There are a lot of roads you can take in life.

Hello, Counsellor Tang.

What did you say about Xiao Xiong?

- Yan Ke! - What is it?

- Xiao Xiong... Xiao Xiong left. - What do you mean?

Xiao Xiong asked for a leave from Counsellor Tang and left the school.

But no one can contact her right now.

- Nothing. - What about her house?

I called Uncle Xiong right away.

But he asked me how Xiao Xiong was doing at school instead.

I think Boss didn't tell her dad about her wrist being injured.

Where else could she be?

Let me think.

Do you think maybe Boss wants to be alone to calm down for a while,

and she'll contact us when she thinks it through?

Okay, I'll continue to look for her.

If you hear anything at all, tell me right away.

No matter what she says—

Hey, kid, what are you doing as a boyfriend?

Something so terrible happened to Xiao Xiong and you even lost her?

Just relax a bit. Boss will be fine.

What if she's not fine?

Who's taking responsibility? You?

Or you?

I looked everywhere.

Nothing.

Yan Ke, don't worry too much.

We will contact you right away if we know anything about her.

Don't worry too much.

Boss isn't a kid anymore.

Something so terrible happened to her and I didn't know anything at all.

You and Yan Ke are at her side all day, how...

how can you not even watch one person?

Bai Yuze, first you need to calm down.

She is gone. How can I calm down?

But you are her best friend. Why are you so calm?

Because I am her best friend,

so I understand her more than you.

Bai Yuze, do you understand Xiao Xiong?

Do you know what type of person she is?

She's someone who always shields me when I'm bullied.

She's someone who will never give up her dreams.

She's the most optimistic

and the most courageous person I've ever seen.

She won't collapse because of this.

She needs time.

We can only wait for her patiently.

You don't understand Xiao Xiong at all.

And you understand me even less.

Relax. If I know anything about her, I will contact you right away.

Don't worry.

Boss might seem reckless usually;

but at the most critical times, she never makes us worried.

But you, you should take care of the piano thing right away.

You know?

- Xiao Xiong, does she— - She knew a long time ago.

Before, she wanted me to ask you.

But she was scared that you would discover so didn't let me.

I think she probably didn't want to trouble you.

It was also hard on her.

With her direct personality,

it's hard for her to keep any secret.

- Can I ask you a question? - Ask.

When you were starting your own business,

did your parents stop you? - Of course!

My dad even said he would break my legs.

He even threatened not to leave me any inheritance.

They only have one child.

Who else would they give it to?

Really.

As an old saying goes,

"No parents can win over their kids."

They stop us

for our own good.

Don't look down on me.

I'm an elite now.

Thank you.

Well, no big deal then.

If you need anything, come find me.

I can give you some advice.

What's up? Are you here for the school transfer process?

Teacher Tang, I don't want to transfer schools.

I want to stay at our university and study abroad after.

You need to think about this properly.

Not everyone has this opportunity.

I know the school fought for this opportunity for me.

It's very special.

But right now, I have more important things to do.

Okay.

Oh right. Is your dad aware of this important decision?

Yesterday, we talked on the phone.

He worries about your current situation a lot.

Really, Old Yan.

Can you stop pacing in front of me?

You're giving me a headache.

Did you call Yan Ke?

I did! Of course, I did.

I mean you should give him some time.

He can't fly back.

What happened to you recently?

You've been hot-tempered

and always getting angry.

Didn't he come back?

You kid.

You...

You still have the nerve to come back.

What are you doing?

As soon as you see him, you want to hit him? That's violent behavior.

You spoil him too much!

I spoil both of you! I spoil him, so what?

You know?

Of course, I know. Could I not know?

- This... - Come here.

What are you doing, Old Yan?

What do you mean? Are you trying to go against me?

No!

I've given it a lot of careful consideration.

Careful consideration?

- After your careful consideration, you want to ruin your future? - Of course not!

Dad, can you listen till I finish? Just once.

I won't listen.

He is asking you. Just listen to him.

Can the two of you...

be calm,

and talk nicely to each other?

Your face is always so sullen.

Son, it's fine. You talk.

Mom. Dad.

I know you have expectations for my future.

But even more than that, I hope you can trust me.

I did give up the opportunity to study abroad.

But this doesn't mean that I am giving up music.

I can go after graduating.

Right now, I just have more important things to do.

I have to take care of someone more important.

I've grown up.

I will take responsibility for my future.

I really can do it.

I wish that you could trust me.

Old Yan, you heard our son.

What he just said shows that he has matured.

He's grown up. He can take responsibility.

Isn't that right?

I'll think about it more and then we'll talk again.

Don't mind him. Your dad is like this.

He's stubborn. He'll calm down later.

Don't mind him.

But Mom wants to tell you,

no matter what you do, as long as you are happy,

Mommy will always support you. Okay?

Thank you, Mom.

You've got quick moves.

Xiao Xiong,

when are you bringing her back and let your stubborn dad meet her?

Next time.

Yan Ke, I'm sorry.

Because of me, you can't decide whether you will go to the music school that you want.

I don't want to be a burden to you.

I want to calm down by myself for a little.

During this time, you don't have to worry about me.

I just want to think by myself

what else I can do other than throwing the javelin.

- Xiao Xiong! - Dad!

Good girl.

Dad.

Let me take a look at you.

- You got skinnier. - Really?

You're eating snacks and not meals again, aren't you?

Let's go home. I'll make you some good food.

Let's go.

Dad.

You must be tired, right?

Dad, how did you know that you wanted to be a bread baker?

Is it because of Mom?

When I first started to work,

I felt lost and didn't know what to do.

There happened to be a dessert shop near my house.

I started working there.

I would work one day and slack off another day,

slack off one day and work another day.

You also felt lost before?

Of course.

We all feel lost most of the time.

But what's important is

some may find their goal

and stick to it.

I am the one who stuck to my goal.

So Mom helped you find your life goal.

Sit.

Your mom also liked to eat desserts, just like you.

She often patronized the dessert shop that I worked at.

Every time I saw her eating the desserts I made,

my heart felt...

warm.

I felt that life was so beautiful.

So you learned to bake just to pursue your pretty girl?

So every time I look at you,

it's just like looking at your mom.

She was strong, brave,

and a little stubborn.

That small body

had great powers.

Daddy.

Daddy, I love you.

[What jobs can I find in the U.S?]

♫ The prelude of the first time our hearts fluttered ♫

What can I do in the U.S. if I'm very strong?

♫ It's not all enough ♫

I have to be a porter there?

Maybe I can earn a lot in the U.S. as a porter.

Don't worry.

♫ Chance by chance ♫

It'll be okay. It will all be okay.

♫ Chance for best ♫

♫ Having you is enough ♫

[Routine: rules; Standard: level of quality]

What's the meaning?

♫ To tell you I love you, just in time ♫

Persist.

What's that smell?

I know it must be something delicious.

I just made it.

Thank you, Daddy.

Be careful. It's hot.

Wow. It looks so good.

This is even better than before!

Why don't you eat some?

When I watch you eat, I'm happy.

Delicious, one more.

Eat slowly! Don't rush! There're more.

There are more?

Be careful, you'll choke.

No, I won't.

[Believe Time]

They’re done.

Smells good!

Let's take a look.

There shouldn’t be any problems from now on.

Xiao Xiong.

I retired because of my injury.

Actually, I don't know if it's right or not to let her take part in the competition.

But I understand her.

An athlete's passion for the competition is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

No one will give up until the last moment.

Congratulations! You won the competition.
