[The Story of Pearl Girl]

[Episode 31]

Useless thing!

Where has he been?

How did he end up so drunk?

Lady Bai, don't blame him.

Today, he invited Master Zheng and asked me to join,

but Master Zheng didn't show.

He felt bad about it,

that's why he drank too much.

Yuanxiang,

we're from the same hometown.

Since coming to Yangzhou,

I've helped you quite a bit.

From now on,

if Mu takes you out on tasks again,

let me know in advance.

I understand, Lady Bai.

It's late. You should head back early.

Then, I'll take my leave.

Rest well.

It hurts!

You're hitting me hard.

Yuanxiang only performs. She doesn't sell herself.

Sending her to pour drinks,

you're putting her at risk!

A songstress shouldn't only perform.

She even dreams of marrying me,

but does she know her place?

Such a hassle.

Stop making indirect jabs at me.

My dear sister,

I didn't mean it like that.

Don't overthink, alright?

You have no sense of manners.

Even though Master Zheng didn't come today,

I still picked up some news.

Zheng Wu seized the Zhenlang Pavilion back

and gifted it to his lover, Cui Shijiu.

Working with the Zhengs is like trying to get blood from a stone?

Well, the blood has been taken!

The Zheng family is too complex.

Take Zheng Si,

he's a legitimate son,

and yet they just cast him aside.

So, what do you suggest?

Given the current situation,

if we want to make a fortune, we can't be too cautious.

The Zheng family is vast and wealthy.

Whatever slips through their fingers

would be enough to secure my future.

For me to rise as a guild director,

who else would I rely on but the Zhengs?

Depend on your boyfriend?

You're rambling nonsense again.

Father, Mother.

You're so generous,

spending a fortune to buy Zhenlang Pavilion

just to give it to Cui Shijiu.

Do you even care about the Zheng family?

Father, calm down.

I did this for the Zheng family,

by entrusting Zhenlang Pavilion to Cui Shijiu.

Zheng Wu,

stop keeping secrets from your father.

Just say what you need to say.

Cui Shijiu has been exposed to jewels since childhood.

Transforming jewels

is her specialty.

Yu,

you two, step outside for a moment.

Father.

Continue.

Now that Zhang Jinran keeps investigating,

if we hold onto that batch of goods,

it's bound to bring trouble eventually.

But if we

let Cui Shijiu manage Zhenlang Pavilion,

she can disguise that batch of goods and sell them off.

By that time,

you can truly rest easy.

If any slip-up occurs,

Zhenlang Pavilion belongs to the Cui family...

It has nothing to do with the Zhengs.

Mother!

Come with me.

Are you saying you're using Cui Shijiu?

Is this for real?

Of course it's real.

Mother, you know full well

Cui Shijiu has looked down on me since childhood.

If I didn't need to use her,

why would I keep her by my side?

You might fool your father, but you can't fool me.

I'm not lying to you.

You have feelings for her,

so you brought her back,

always protecting her.

But her?

She has no genuine feelings for you.

Her loyalty lies entirely with the Cui family.

Mother, don't worry.

I have everything under control.

Besides, as for Shijiu...

Don't bring up Cui Shijiu to me.

I don't want to hear about her.

I just feel sorry for you.

You've given so much to her,

yet she shows no real affection in return.

What do you see in her?

[Zhenlang Pavilion]

[Clear Mind]

Why aren't you looking for Yan Zijing

and just wandering around my shop?

You have your principles,

but Clear Mind is nothing special.

I use my methods,

and now Zhenlang Pavilion bears the Cui name again.

I will never forget who my enemies are.

If there's something I want,

no matter the cost,

I will get it.

Wonderful.

Su Muzhe,

we're rivals once more.

[Clear Mind]

My lady!

Oh, all you guys are here!

Look at her hairpin!

Yingtao, what brings you here?

It's too heavy for my head.

Lady, here's the thing.

Ms. Su asked me

to deliver this month's payment.

At least she keeps her word.

Yingtao,

what kind of hairpin is that on your head?

Where did you get it?

Yeah, it's so colorful.

What's it made of?

Guess.

Just tell us.

Don't keep us in suspense.

It's glass, right?

Lady Yan, you've got a sharp eye!

Yes, it's glass.

This is our new product at Clear Mind.

Yingtao, isn't it quite expensive?

Not at all!

Ms. Su is very generous.

You all wouldn't believe it.

Today was the grand reopening of Clear Mind,

and people nearly broke down our doors!

So many coming and going,

my head and neck are sore!

If only I hadn't pulled out my shares.

Exactly.

Lady,

why don't we talk to Ms. Su again?

Maybe we don't need to withdraw our shares.

We withdrew so pitilessly.

Now we want to change our mind?

Is there such an easy deal in the world?

My lady,

Ms. Su specifically said,

when Clear Mind was struggling,

it was natural for you to worry about your savings.

Now that we've reopened,

if things remain prosperous,

it won't be too late to reinvest later.

Really?

Did Ms. Su actually say that?

Yes, she did!

Ms. Su truly has a kind heart.

We've been too thoughtless in the past.

Yingtao,

I can't let you come all this way for nothing.

Order a full set of glassware for me,

and don't give me any discounts.

I wouldn't feel right about it.

Alright, I'll bring it to you in a bit!

- I want a set too. - Yes!

- I want the same style as yours. - Me too!

This set?

- Yes. - I want one set too!

Alright.

A perfect shot every time.

Boring.

[Solid as Gold]

At this range, it's hard to miss.

Even more boring.

Let's go.

Mr. Zhang, you're teaming up with Ms. Su.

It's your turn.

Alright, my turn.

Nice!

Master Yan, you really are a good teacher.

Tonight, you should have a few extra drinks.

Gaoshou, go ahead.

Alright, I'm teaming up with Master Yan.

Master Yan, I'll go first then.

Sure.

Please.

Playing this?

[Solid as Gold] We used to play this a lot as kids.

You're so useless.

Master Yan's team lost.

A drink as punishment.

We'll accept the penalty.

Pour me a drink.

I'll drink in his place.

- Give it to me. - No need. It's fine.

Enough, you two.

It's time for my second shot.

I drink less?

Fine, go ahead.

Mr. Zhang,

today was Clear Mind's grand opening.

Why are so many young ladies

asking you to paint their miniatures?

Gaoshou's up to no good again.

You just love

painting miniatures for young ladies, huh?

You really enjoy drawing...

Such a shame!

Aren't you cheating?

I'm not!

Get back here and drink.

Your turn.

Drink up, Mr. Zhang!

You just wait, Gaoshou

Listen, a true master

won't be disturbed no matter what.

At this distance,

even being disturbed, I can still make the shot.

I trust Master Yan. I'll fetch you an arrow!

Catch, please.

Alright, I'll shoot from right here.

If Master Yan's playing,

the rules of the game should change,

or it won't be fair, right?

- Here, grab the arrow. - So, how should it be fair?

You shoot with your eyes covered by me.

That's a good idea!

- I agree. - Yes, indeed.

- I agree! - So this is your idea of fairness?

Is that fair?

Of course it's fair.

Get ready.

Ready?

Aim a bit to the left.

I won't listen to you. You're giving bad directions.

Trust me.

I don't trust you.

Fine, then go ahead.

Three, two, one!

Nice!

Perfect!

- Master Yan truly has amazing skills! - Great shot!

Impressive!

Just a small feat.

- Come on. - Drink up, Master Yan.

Sure, come on!

Excellent shot!

Let's have a toast together!

Today, our Clear Mind glassware

sold so well.

May we have success like this every year and day.

- Well said! - Cheers!

- Here, cheers! - Cheers!

Mr. Xu, Father.

Father...

Mr. Xu is one of us. Speak freely.

It's merely some business trifles,

but I feared it might disrupt Mr. Xu's leisure.

No bother.

Go ahead, what is it?

Su Muzhe of Clear Mind has started selling glass as well.

The same batch from the old Qin's Glass Workshop.

Qin?

He hasn't left Yangzhou yet?

Not yet.

And what's this about the glass?

That Qin

once dared to produce substandard glass

and tried to challenge my Jubao House,

disrupting the operations of Yangzhou's jewelry shops.

So, I teach him a small lesson.

If it's defective, it should be expelled from Yangzhou.

Yes.

And now, Su Muzhe from Clear Mind

is bringing out that batch of defective glass

to stir up trouble.

Stir up trouble?

Just some glass,

how could it trouble our Mr. Zheng?

Go buy the land deed of Clear Mind

and drive them out of Yangzhou.

Father,

that land deed for Clear Mind

has already been purchased by Su Muzhe.

Then make sure they can't stay in business.

With Mr. Xu backing us,

what is there to worry about?

Yes, Father.

In the future,

we hope Mr. Xu will uphold justice for us.

A mere shop like Clear Mind

is hardly an issue.

Are you really that happy?

Did you drink too much?

Why is there no moon tonight?

It's covered by clouds.

What's wrong?

Tell me,

do you hate me?

Why are you laughing?

If I say I've never hated you,

would you believe me?

I wouldn't.

I don't hate you.

I only hate myself.

If only I hadn't insisted on following you,

they'd all still be alive.

What reason do I have to hate you?

In the end,

it's all my fault.

I have been consumed by vengeance.

It's not your fault.

You did nothing wrong.

The mistake lies in our birth.

The mistake is in the things we can't change.

That's why I wonder...

If we hadn't gone through this,

would the outcome be different?

Would you and me...

be different as well?

If you could do it all over again,

would you still want to know me?

[Clear Mind]

Su Muzhe, get out here!

You know what?

Clear Mind is selling toxic glassware!

Songstress Yuanxiang wore it for barely two days,

and now she's on the brink.

So, who's the heartless one?

Who's playing with people's lives?

Now you can't face the consequences, huh?

You're too scared to come out, huh?

Get out here!

So noisy.

It's not your place to speak.

Bring out the one responsible!

- Are you too ashamed - How can you stay so calm?

to show your face, huh?

Shut up already. That's enough.

You're not worthy of speaking to me.

Call out the one in charge!

Come out!

- I wasn't talking to you. - What's the problem?

Why are you even here, Qin?

Why am I here?

Even if Lady Yuanxiang

has a health problem,

what does it matter to you?

I'm here to fight injustice!

But you,

you took my money to smash Clear Mind,

and now you're working here?

Aren't you ashamed?

Double-dealing coward.

How dare you stand here?

You're unworthy! Get out of my way!

That's right!

I took your money

and smashed Clear Mind.

I admit it!

I'm a man who takes responsibility

for his actions.

I accept my fault,

and I correct my it.

What's the problem?

But you, foolish as you are,

I knew you wouldn't let this go.

I didn't think you'd actually dare to come here!

Why wouldn't I?

Where did you get the nerve?

I'm telling you, I'm doing what's right!

Don't...

Gaoshou.

So, Mr. Qin, you're finally admitting

that you once paid people to smash our Clear Mind?

If it weren't for Gaoshou's insight,

Clear Mind would have long fallen

to your disgraceful tactics.

What's this new stunt?

I'm leaving.

Trying to slander Clear Mind again?

Slander?

You've always resented Clear Mind.

Who would believe you?

Who would?

[Clear Mind] Competitors are rivals,

stirring up trouble every other day.

Exactly.

But are you just going to let them

smear Clear Mind's name?

Sometimes things have to break to be rebuilt.

Sooner or later, Clear Mind would face this.

The one who should come isn't here yet.

Since you're free,

why not help me settle some accounts?

Fine.

On the sixth of March,

old jewels, nineteen taels.

Lady, these jewels are beautiful.

- Yes, indeed. - Trouble's come!

Qin Mu brought Yuanxiang

to Clear Mind, causing a scene.

He said Clear Mind's glass jewelry is toxic.

I heard Yuanxiang's face is covered in red rashes,

completely disfigured!

Are there any on my face?

No, there aren't.

Don't jump to conclusions.

Let's go see for ourselves first.

- Alright, let's go. - Okay.

[Clear Mind] Don't you believe it?

Everyone, take a look!

The evidence is right here!

Sh's covered in red rashes.

- More breaths going out than coming in. - Move aside.

- Move aside. - It's all because

- of Clear Mind's toxic glass! - Move aside.

Look, she's barely hanging on!

So pitiful, isn't she?

Yuanxiang is in bad health,

- and still hasn't seen a doctor? - Shout it out!

- Something seems off. - Clear Mind sells toxic glassware!

Su Muzhe, come out!

Shout it, Clear Mind sells toxic glassware!

Su Muzhe, get out here!

Clear Mind sells toxic glassware!

Su Muzhe, come out here!

Not coming out, huh?

Hiding like a coward, huh?

Then don't blame me

if I have to come in and smash up your store!

Get out of my way!

What are you doing?

- Move aside. - What are you going to do?

- Don't touch me! I don't want to... - You're daring to smash our store?

This is too much!

If Yuanxiang's poisoned, report it to the authorities.

Causing a fuss here without any proof,

what's the point?

Don't block my way,

or I'll hit you too!

- I'm warning you... - You dare?

Go ahead, hit us and see!

If you attack innocent citizens,

we'll report it to the authorities right now!

- Exactly! - Go on, hit us and see!

With all these people watching,

hit me first, go ahead!

- Try it! - Hit us!

- Go ahead! - All together now!

Do it, hit us!

Go on, hit us!

Hey, you have no ties to Clear Mind anymore.

You have no shares here.

So why are you meddling in this?

Things need to be made clear.

Ms. Su would never do something like this!

I... I don't want to argue with you all.

Step aside!

What are you doing?

Step back!

Get out of the way!

Move aside!

Someone reported to the authorities,

claiming there's

a murder case at Clear Mind.

Did you file the report?

The main party has arrived.

Then we must go meet them.

What about April?

April,

old jewels, seven taels and five.

That fool!

He's no good on his own,

always trying these underhanded tricks.

Could the Zheng family be easy to deal with?

He's obsessed with becoming an guild director,

and doesn't even realize he's being played.

I heard Mr. Xu went over too.

With Mr. Xu backing him, it should be fine.

No, I still need to go check.

Oh...

Quick, go notify Mr. Xu immediately.

Or else, it'll be the end of everything.

Greetings, Inspector Zhang.

Baicaojing House has always obeyed the law.

You suddenly bring people here,

may I ask for what reason?

Let's go!

Inspector Zhang has ordered

that no one is to leave.

Qin Mu tried to frame Clear Mind with a poison box.

Is that what you call obeying the law?

Search carefully!

Don't miss a single spot!

Yes, sir!

What do you mean, Lady Bai?

Inspector Zhang,

you came to Baicaojing House

to look for some poison box, didn't you?

So why are you

suddenly going through our jewelry?

Open it!

I came here to find the poison box,

but I didn't expect to be so astonished.

Lady Bai,

do you recognize this chest of jewels?

These are jewels from Zhenlang Pavilion.

So why are they here at Baicaojing House?

Perhaps...

Perhaps there's a traitor within.

Is it really an inside traitor,

or is there another reason?

Come with me, and we'll find out soon enough.

Mr. Xu, look.

Yuanxiang's life is in grave danger.

You must stand up for us, Mr. Xu!

What exactly is going on here?

They're selling toxic glassware at Clear Mind.

She fell ill two days after wearing it.

Please, see for yourself.

You must bring justice to us.

Clear Mind is suspected of selling toxic glassware,

endangering the citizens of Yangzhou.

I hereby order the store to be sealed and the toxic glassware seized.

Anyone resisting will be dealt with by the law.

Yes, arrest them according to the law!

Yes, sir!

Wait!

Oh...

What's going on?

What's happening?

Mr. Xu!

Greetings.

Ms. Su, long time no see.

You seem to be in good spirits lately.

It appears that tonics do benefit the health.

After today,

I may feel even better.

That remains to be seen.

[Clear Mind] Mr. Xu, Lady Yuanxiang's condition is critical.

If it turns out to be a fault of Clear Mind,

I will take full responsibility.

However,

let's get her to the clinic first.

What do you say?

Ms. Su, you have a compassionate heart.

Let's proceed as you suggest.

I'll trouble you ladies with the task.

Rest assured.

We've clarified the matter!

Move aside!

No one is allowed to leave!

No!

Once Lady Yuanxiang is taken to the clinic,

we'll soon find out

the source of this poison.

Mr. Xu, Clear Mind is so malicious,

treating lives as nothing.

You must stand up for us!

Clear Mind has sold

hundreds of glass hairpins,

and I've carefully examined each one.

I've never heard of anyone being poisoned.

You claim Yuanxiang was poisoned

by a glass hairpin from Clear Mind.

Then where is this toxic glassware now?

Show it!

This is indeed from Clear Mind,

it has our mark on the base.

So, it's all come to light, hasn't it?

Mr. Xu, the evidence is clear.

Since that's the case,

I'll trouble Ms. Su and everyone from Clear Mind

to come to my office for questioning.

Mr. Xu,

even in the court of law,

I should be allowed to defend myself, shouldn't I?

At this point,

what is there left to argue, Ms. Su?

The show's just begun.

Okay.

Mr. Qin...

What is that?

Poison pollen!

Help!

- Mr. Xu. - What's wrong with you?

Look,

Poison pollen! Bring water, quickly!

How did you know

there was poison pollen inside this box?

Can't I just take a guess?

Mr. Xu, instead of hastily searching our shop,

why not ask Mr. Qin

how he so quickly identified

this as poison pollen?

First, he said our glass is toxic.

Now, he says the powder in this box is poisonous.

Mr. Qin,

what's really going on here?

Mr. Xu,

it seems

this was all a misunderstanding.

You jumped to conclusions,

claiming there's a murder case tied to Clear Mind.

Is that something to joke about?

Now, shouldn't you apologize to Ms. Su?

Well...

- This is slander! - Indeed!

Ms. Su, this was a misunderstanding.

Please be forgiving.

Mr. Xu,

it's no easy task for us to run a business.

Especially,

since Lady Yuanxiang's life is at stake.

Calling this a "misunderstanding"

isn't too light?

Moreover,

the citizens of this city

now believe Clear Mind sells toxic glassware.

How am I supposed to do business from now on?

If you ask me,

I won't stand for it.

Let's settle today's matter

right here and now.

Yes!

Recently, Clear Mind ordered

five hundred decorative boxes.

It turns out these boxes

were laced with oleander pollen.

Ms. Su has that batch sealed up long ago,

not a single one leaking out.

What's in these boxes now

is merely our specially crafted fragrance powder,

completely harmless.

And the box merchant confessed

it was Qin Mu who paid people to do it.

You're telling lies!

Where's the proof?

We have it!

Please have a look.

Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu.

It appears

there's quite a story between Mr. Qin

and this box merchant.

Guards, take Mr. Qin into custody!

Mr. Xu, I...

Take him away!

Move!

Ms. Su, today's events were purely a misunderstanding.

Sorry for the disturbance.

I have other pressing matters, so I'll take my leave.

Mr. Xu, it's rare for you to visit Clear Mind,

and I also have important matters to discuss with you.

Ms. Su, feel free to speak plainly.

This fool Qin Mu

is Bai Niao's younger brother.

Given the relationship between Bai Niao and you,

protecting her foolish brother

must have been taxing.

My connection with Lady Bai is merely a passing affair.

If you have nothing further to say,

then I shall take my leave.

Whatever Baicaojing House can do for you,

Clear Mind can assist with as well.

It seems you start understanding

the challenges of doing business in Yangzhou.

Looking for new support?

Conducting business in Yangzhou

naturally requires some protection.

Providing protection isn't an issue.

I only care

about your token of loyalty.

Yingtao,

prepare the tea.

Xu Nanying!

Seems we won't need to talk at all.

[Clear Mind]

When you took office, you came with little attention.

In less than half a year,

how did you accumulate a fortune at Baicaojing House?

You've been investigating me secretly?

I have the authority to inspect anyone.

Take him away!

No need.

You've schemed for so long.

Jinran,

wherever you're taking me,

I will follow you.

Duanwu.

That's wonderful!

Seventeen thousand...

It's like this.

Ladies.

Ms. Su!

Ms. Su,

the ladies have been waiting outside for a while,

so I invited them in.

That scoundrel Qin Mu

tricked Yuanxiang into thinking he'd marry her,

just to use her to frame you.

Today, it nearly cost you everything.

Thankfully, you held no grudges,

sent Yuanxiang for treatment in time,

and even covered her medical fees.

Yes, she's lucky to be alive.

She's filled with regret now,

and sent us to thank you personally.

We all live in this world

with no parents to pamper us,

no brothers to protect us,

like floating duckweed.

But when duckweed gathers together,

supporting each other,

it won't drift aimlessly.

Regarding the toxic glassware affair,

I never imagined you all would come to my aid.

Thank you.

Ms. Su,

we were timid and fool before

and backed out of our shares.

Later, when you were framed,

we stayed on the sidelines,

watching indifferently.

But after what happened with Yuanxiang,

we finally understand the good and evil in people's hearts.

In short,

we now see clearly that you are someone

who's kindhearted, loyal, and righteous.

Today, we came not just to thank you,

but to apologize too.

Then...

we'll take our leave.

Wait.

In truth, we're all the same,

without any support in this world.

But I've been thinking,

if women could rely

on one another,

then perhaps there wouldn't be another Yuanxiang.

There's something

I need the opinion of you on.

I want to establish the Duckweed Society within Clear Mind.

From now on, we'll set aside ten percent of our profits

and add

Lady Huan's former shares to it,

to help women in Yangzhou

who, like us,

have no one to rely on.

How about it?

With the Duckweed Society,

our hearts and efforts

will be united.

We'll finally have a place to call home.

So,

are you interested in rejoining as shareholders?

Yes.

This time, no more backing out!

Absolutely not.

Even if we lose money in the future,

we believe

with Ms. Su here,

and all of us working together,

there's no obstacle we can't overcome.

Alright, take a seat, everyone.

Enjoy some tea.

Yingtao, get everything ready.

- Come on, Ladies. - Let's go.

Alright, I'll take a seat then.

[Grand Governor's Office]

Qin Mu,

you harmed the people,

then framed Clear Mind.

Do you have anything to say?

I'm innocent, Inspector Zhang!

I don't know anything.

She made me do it!

She's envious of Clear Mind's business,

so she wants to take it over herself!

Inspector Zhang, I was orphaned at a young age.

I fought my way up from nothing to get here.

I would never do something so despicable.

Please, see the truth!

Bai Niao,

is what Qin Mu said true?

Reporting to Inspector Zhang,

what Qin Mu said is true.

The poisoning was my doing alone,

and has nothing to do with anyone else.

Exactly, it has nothing to do with me!

She did it all on her own!

Today, we're sounding the drum

to seek justice for Yuanxiang!

[Grand Governor's Office] Qin Mu, in an effort to frame Clear Mind,

poisoned and harmed Yuanxiang!

What a villain!

Who is beating the drum here?

We are the songstresses of Yangzhou.

Today, we've come with a petition,

requesting that Inspector Zhang punish the evildoer severely,

and restore justice for Yuanxiang!

Restore justice for Yuanxiang!

I, Yuanxiang, accuse Qin Mu of poisoning me,

and deliberately delaying

when my life was at risk,

solely to ruin Clear Mind's reputation.

Aren't you perfectly fine now?

I see,

you pretended to be poisoned to slander Clear Mind!

You heartless scoundrel!

I was on the brink of death when they sent me for treatment!

The doctor at the clinic can testify to that!

You waited and waited,

and when you saw I didn't get poisoned from the glassware,

you personally fed me poisoned pastries,

making me suffer from the poisoning!

Qin Mu,

you said...

you said you'd marry me,

yet you intended all along to harm me.

I...

Lies, all lies!

What status do you think you have?

You're nothing but a lowly songstress!

What give you the right to marry me? Pah!

Who are you calling lowly?

It's all of you!

You filthy songstresses!

Silence!

All of you...

You're the lowly one!

Lady Bai,

he's insulting us like this,

why do you still cover for him?

Qin Mu,

you keep saying it wasn't you,

it was all Bai Niao's doing.

I have a confession here.

[Confession] Mr. Jia, the decorative box merchant,

can confirm that you poisoned the boxes,

showing no regard for human life!

With both witnesses and evidence present,

what do you have left to deny?

♪Life flows like a boat, navigating joys and woes♪

♪Longing for distant shores♪

♪Aware this moment may tear my heart apart♪

♪Better to roam alone♪

♪Many depart, none return♪

♪How can we resist gazing at each other amid the blooms?♪

♪Your face glows like lanterns in the night♪

♪Love fades on the stone bridge, yet bonds remain♪

♪How can we endure the binds of longing?♪

♪Like a grand dream, a lone cup of wine♪

♪May this world hold♪

♪Both sorrow and warmth♪

♪To hide a broken heart away with laughter and tears♪

♪A debt across time awaits♪

♪A simple tale unfolds♪

♪Nothing compares to soft rice and sweet tea♪

♪May this fate intertwine♪

♪Half in regret, half in longing♪

♪Radiant memories tint your gaze♪

♪The world's bitterness♪

♪Still accompanies my dreams♪

♪Drifting afar on the shore of your life♪

♪Quietly watching over you♪
