Xiao Qiao: “Ever since I was little, there is nothing that I can’t learn. (looks over at Lulu and smiles) Especially that which you both are saying is the most exciting parts.”
Lulu (takes off her jacket and looks at Xiao Qiao): “Can you learn that?”
Xiao Qiao looks at Lulu and Mei Zuo. Mei Zuo looks at Lulu and then at Xiao Qiao with a small smile on his face. Xiao Qiao looks at him for a few seconds before looking away. She lowers her head, looking sad. Then she takes a deep breath, smiles and brushes her long hair away from her face and shoulder. She starts to slowly unbutton the buttons on her shirt. Mei Zuo looks at her with a smile at first, then the smile slowly disappears into a frown. He pulls away from Gina and Lulu and grabs Xiao Qiao by her arm.
Mei Zuo (annoyed): “Stop this nonsense. (He pulls her up from her seat and drags her after him.) Let’s go.”
Lulu and Gina stares after Mei Zuo.
Gina: “Eh, what’s the big deal?”
Mei Zuo drives Xiao Qiao home and stops in her drive way.
Mei Zuo: “What were you doing just now?”
Xiao Qiao: “I…”
She stops, then takes a deep breath before continuing.
Xiao Qiao: “I just want to prove that I will not lose to any woman. (looks over at Mei Zuo) The things that the women that you like can do for you, (smiles at Mei Zuo) I will definitely do it better than them.”
Mei Zuo doesn’t say anything. Xiao Qiao looks at him for a few more seconds before the smile disappears from her face and she lowers her head. She sits there for a while longer before taking a breath and then unbuckling her seatbelt.
Xiao Qiao (looks over at Mei Zuo, smiling): “You can pick me up tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m.”
She opens the door and gets out of the car. Mei Zuo then drives away.
Back at Xi Men’s home, Xi Men's father is leaning against the dining table with a serious expression on his face, thinking very hard about something. Xi Men walks over and uncovers the lid of one of the dishes.
Xi Men (happy): “Mom still made ‘hong you chao shou.’”
Dad smiles and then stands up from his leaning position. As he stood there, he was staring off and thinking again. Xi Men was fixing the things on the dinner table and notices his father’s expression.
Xi Men: “Pa, what are you thinking about?”
Dad: “Eh, seeing all the dishes that your mom prepared, my stomach is starting to feel hungry.”
Xi Men smiles and continues fixing the plates and utensils on the table. Xi Men’s mom walks over with a maid, each carrying more dishes of food.
Mom: “Ma didn’t have time to go buy groceries, so all the food is frozen ingredients from the refrigerator. However, it is all your favorite dishes.”
Xi Men: “It’s all very sumptuous already, Ma. Stop busying around now. Dad and I are waiting for you.”
Mom (reaches over to make Xi Men sit down): “Come, sit down.”
They all sit down at the table and Xi Men uncovers the lids from the dishes.
Xi Men: “Wow. What a great soup!”
Mom (smiling): “Let’s eat. The food is getting cold.”
Dad (looks across the table at his wife): “Very good. This time that our son was in the hospital, our whole family had a hard time. Now it has finally passed.”
Mom doesn’t say anything and remains silent.
Xi Men (looks from mom to dad and quickly speaks up): “Pa. I think this is a blessing in disguise. Our whole family have not eaten dinner together for a long time. (turns to mom) Right, Ma?”
Mom doesn’t say anything and just smiles. The maid is bringing glasses of fruit juices over and Xi Men takes a glass from her and hands it over to his mom. Xi Men picking up his own glass, offers a toast to his parents.
Xi Men “Pa, Ma, to my speedy recovery.”
They all raise their glasses, take a sip and then started eating.
After dinner, Xi Men’s mom is by the bar area, pouring a glass of water and Xi Men walks over to her.
Xi Men: “Ma. I’m very full.”
Mom: “You’re full. (putting the medicine and glass of water in front of him) “Then it’s time for your medicine.”
Xi Men (looks at the medicine and then looks up at his mom): “Do you want to drink some coffee?”
Mom (nods her head): “Ok.”
Xi Men: “Then I’ll go make it for you.”
Xi Men walks away and his mom tries to call after him. When he walks quickly away, she sighs and shakes her head. Meanwhile, Xi Men’s dad is in the study room. He opens up a drawer and takes out a large portfolio folder. He opens it up and skims through the pages that are within the folder. Xi Men walks up to the doorway and calls out to him.
Xi Men: “Pa.”
His dad turns around and looks at Xi Men.
Xi Men: “Do you want to drink coffee?”
Dad: “Oh, ok.”
Xi Men walks away from the doorway smiling happily. His dad turns back to look at the papers inside the folder and we see that he was actually looking at the paperwork for a divorce. He closes the portfolio and picks it up with a sad face. Xi Men’s mom is still standing by the bar area. She is admiring the flowers behind the bar when Xi Men’s dad walks up to stand in front of the bar counter.
Dad (speaking to Mom’s back): “I really enjoyed myself at tonight’s dinner. Thank you.”
Xi Men’s mom doesn’t answer and just continues to admire the flowers. Then she turns to where Xi Men’s dad is standing. She reaches over and takes back the medicine and glass of water that she left on top of the counter for Xi Men before.
Dad: “For all this time that we have known each other, the feelings that you have for me in your heart, you have constantly been very clear about.”
Mom (without looking at Xi Men’s dad and speaks): “If you have anything to say, then just come straight out and say it.”
At this moment, Xi Men walks into the room, smiling happily, holding two cups of coffee in his hands.
Dad: “Actually, you also knew that I have always been a husband that neglected his duties. (pause) But after all these years, it doesn’t matter how much grievances your heart has, you have always wholeheartedly acted the character of a perfect mother. (pause) So I should… say I’m sorry to you.”
Mom (still looking to the side): “I am Xi Men’s mother. Everything that I do, are things that I ought to do.”
Dad: “I understand that. (pause) After all these years, I have finally understood. So, (he takes out the portfolio with the divorce papers and puts it on the counter in front of Xi Men’s mom) now, you have given my son to me. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks. Therefore, I think that I should give, to you, the divorce papers that you have been longing for all these years.”
Xi Men’s mom finally slowly raises her eyes to look at her husband. Xi Men’s dad takes a deep breath and looks back at his wife. As the room falls in silence, Xi Men stands there with the two cups of coffee in his hands, stunned and looking shocked at his parents.
That night Xi Men is lying on his bed and trying to fall asleep. His dad is sitting by the bar counter and drinking. Xi Men gets out of bed and goes to join his dad.
Xi Men: “Pa.”
Dad (looks up): “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Xi Men walks over and pulls out the chair next to his father and sits down.
Xi Men: “I can’t sleep.”
Dad (sliding the medicine on the counter over to Xi Men): “Oh, your medicine. You forgot to take it before.”
They both sat there looking at the medicine when Xi Men suddenly jumps out of his seat and walks away. When he comes back, he puts a small bottle on the counter in front of his dad.
Xi Men: “Here.”
Dad: “What?”
Xi Men (sitting back down): “Your medicine. You also didn’t take it today, no?”
Dad: “This medicine is only for a temporary relief and not a permanent cure.”
He takes another sip of his drink that he holds in his hand.
Xi Men (looking over at the medicine): “I know. But at least it can control your blood pressure. Doesn’t matter how angry you get (pause) or how sad you get, it will help you to continue living.”
Xi Men’s dad thinks for a while then takes out a pill from the small bottle. He pops it into his mouth and swallows it down with a sip of the wine. Xi Men gets another glass from the bar and pours himself a glass of wine too. Then he puts his medicine into his mouth and picks up the glass of wine. His dad sees him and stops him.
Dad (taking the wine glass from Xi Men’s hands and puts in back on the counter): “You just came out of a hospital.”
He shakes his hand at Xi Men. Xi Men smiles at his dad and then picks up the glass and takes a long sip.
Xi Men: “Like father, like son.”
His father looks down at his own glass and smiles at Xi Men.
Xi Men: “It seems like we have never drank wine together before.”
Dad: “It doesn’t matter.
From now on, there would be plenty of time. Right?”
Xi Men nods his head in agreement. Then he raises his glass at his father and
they both take a drink.
Xi Men: “I think, Pa, that you should drink less.”
Dad: “What? Are you starting to control me now?”
Xi Men: “Just you see, I would definitely be more of a nag than Ma.”
They both smile at each other and takes another drink. Then Xi Men’s dad gives Xi Men a fondly pat on the shoulder.
Next morning, Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha takes the breakfast van over to Orange Cafe. Da Xin, Ah Lun & Yi Ling comes out of the shop and are amazed at the brightly yellow colored van that was parked in front of their shop.
Yi Ling: “What a pretty van!”
Ah Lun: “But, you guys were driving this van, don’t you think it’s calling out for too much attention? (Ah Lun walks around to look at the design on the outside of the van.) Wow! It’s very nice looking!”
Da Xin and Yi Ling quickly opens the door to the inside of the van and takes a look of the décor inside.
Da Xin (with an amazed look): “WOW!”
Yi Ling (coming up behind him): “What?”
Da Xin: “Look!”
Yi Ling (sticks her head into the van and also has an amazed look on her face): “Wow!”
Da Xin: “This is great!”
Da Xin and Yi Ling looks around the inside and kept on repeating that it was great. Meanwhile, Ah Lun is outside of the van and announcing that it was very cute.
Ah Lun (looking at the brightly yellow van with white clouds painted on it): “Wow! What pretty colors! So dazzling!”
Ah Lun walks up from the side of the van admiring the decoration and Da Xin sticks his head out of the window and both of them started “wowing” at each other again.
Ah Lun (pointing to the clouds on the van): “And there are also clouds! This color is so cute!”
Yi Ling (runs back down from inside the van): “There’s also a sun in the back!”
Ah Lun: “Everything is simply too dazzling!”
Ye Sha (smiling happily): “This is your breakfast van!”
Dao Ming Si also smiles happily and nods his head in agreement.
Ah Lun / Yi Ling / Da Xin (looks at Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha with a shocked face and says together): “Breakfast van?”
Dao Ming Si: “Right. (Ye Sha nods her head up and down next to Dao Ming Si.) This is designed by Ye Sha. So now, even if the breakfast café is closed, you guys don’t have to worry about not having a job.”
Yi Ling (looks over at Ah Lun and cries out excitedly): “Our breakfast van!”
The 3 of them started shouting very excitedly and loudly. Ah Lun and Yi Ling is hugging each other and jumping up and down and around in a circle. Da Xing runs and grabs two bottles of champagne and comes back and jumps happily with them too. The 5 of them starts acting very crazily. Da Xin and Dao Ming Si are shaking and splashing the two bottles of champagne everywhere and Yi Ling, Ah Lun, and Ye Sha are throwing confetti all around.
Then they all take the van around for a drive. Da Xin is driving the van with Yi Ling and Ah Lun all sitting in the front while Ye Sha and Dao Ming Si sits in the back. They are listening to “Happy” and everybody is in high spirits. Meanwhile, Qing He and Mimi is walking around in the streets. Qing He is walking in the front and looking all around while Mimi is walking behind him. She’s looking at the back of Qing He very happily and started skipping after him. But she dropped her bag, so she stopped to pick it up and then quickly run after Qing He. In her rush to catch up, she trips and falls against Qing He.
Mimi (calling out): “OW!”
Qing He quickly reaches out a hand and holds onto her.
Qing He (holding onto her right arm): “What’s wrong with you?”
Mimi (on her knees on the ground): “Reporting to Senior, because my shoes are not in line with my body, so that’s why it made my muscles cramp up for a brief moment. So…”
Qing He (holds up his hand to interrupt her): “Fine, fine, fine. Simply put, did you sprain your foot?”
Mimi nods her head.
Qing He (turning so that his back faces Mimi): “Come on.”
Mimi (grabs onto Qing He’s left arm and starts to pull herself up): “Thank you, Senior.”
Qing He (helps her to stand up): “Is this ok?”
Mimi: “Yes.”
Qing He holds onto her right arm and Mimi starts to limp next to Qing He.
Qing He: “Does it hurt?”
Mimi (smiles shyly): “Hurts.”
They continue walking and then stops at the corner of the street to wait for the right light.
At this moment, the breakfast van also stops to wait for the traffic light. Dao Ming Si looks out the window and sees Qing He standing at the corner.
Dao Ming Si (shouts happily): “QING HE! QING HE!”
Qing He and Mimi looks around to see who was calling out.
Qing He (sees Dao Ming Si, calls out): “Dao Ming Si!”
Dao Ming Si (sticking half his body out of the van’s window): “Where are you going?”
Qing He: “I… I’m crossing the street.”
Dao Ming Si (smiling): “Why do you still talk the same way - without any main points. My… Hey, the light’s green. We have to leave first. (He sits back down into his seat, then sticks his head out again.) Hey, what is your phone number?”
Qing He: “Oh, my number is 0939-9999. I’ll wait for your call!”
Dao Ming Si: “Oh, ok, I’ll call you. Ok, Talk to you soon. Bye bye.”
Dao Ming Si waves at Qing He and Mimi.
Qing He / Mimi (both waving): “Bye bye!.”
The breakfast van drives away and Qing He and Mimi stood there and stares after it.
Mimi (turning to Qing He, with an amazed look on her face): “Qing He Senior, that person is the one that San Cai Senior always thinks about, Ying De University’s legendary F4’s head, Dao Ming Si?”
Qing He (nodding his head): “Right. I know him very well. And also we used to hang out together when we were in school.”
Mimi: “Then why does everyone say that he has lost his memories? Didn’t he just recognize you at first glance?”
Qing He: “Of course, he remembers me. (pause, then it dawns on him) Right! Why would he remember me? (He looks after the direction the van drove off to and shouts.) Dao Ming Si! Dao Ming Si! (He turns back to Mimi, excited.) This is great news! I have to go tell San Cai immediately.”
Qing He turns and starts running.
Mimi: “Oh. Hey! Qing He Senior…”
She starts to walk after him but her foot hurts her.
Mimi: “OW! Qing He Senior. Wait for me! Qing He Senior!”
She quickly limps after Qing He.
Meanwhile, inside the van, Ye Sha is curious as to who the guy that Dao Ming Si was talking to before is.
Ye Sha: “Who is that Qing He?”
Dao Ming Si: “A junior at Ying De.”
Ye Sha: “Junior?”
Dao Ming Si: “Right.”
Ye Sha: “How come you remember him?”
Dao Ming Si (looks at Ye Sha, surprised): “Right. Why would I remember him?”
Qing He arrives at Dao Ming Corporation and is stopped by a security guard.
Qing He: “Don’t block me! I have the most important news in the world to tell San Cai.”
Guard: “I’m sorry but our company has a rule that all visitors must first register and get a pass.”
Qing He: “Where to register? What pass?”
Guard (points him to a desk): “Over here.”
Qing He (runs up to the reception desk): “I need to find San Cai!”
Receptionist: “Mr. Our company has a few hundred employees. You have to tell me which department she is in.”
Qing He: “Huh?!?! Eh, she’s… she’s… she’s ‘zhong wu bu’. Right, she’s in ‘zhong wu bu’. So what do I have to register?”
Receptionist: “Hold on a minute. I have to first check the computer and see if there is really someone that you called something Cai.”
The receptionist starts typing on the computer and Qing He waits impatiently.
Receptionist: “How do you write it?”
Qing He: “Huh?”
Receptionist: “The name.”
Qing He: “Oh, I’m… I’m called Chan Qing He.”
Receptionist: “I’m not asking you.”
Qing He: “San… San Cai. Dong San Cai. The character of wood and three strokes that San. And then… the character for green vegetables, that Cai.”
The receptionist goes back to typing on the computer.
Qing He (impatient): “Hurry up.”
Another receptionist hands Qing He a form and pen.
Receptionist: “Please fill this out.”
As Qing He was starting to fill out the form, Mimi runs up to Qing He out of breath.
Mimi: “Qing He Senior.”
Qing He turns to look at Mimi who was leaning against the side of the reception desk gasping for breath.
Qing He: “I am so impatient already! (Yu Tian, Dao Ming Feng’s assistant walks by at this moment and stops on the side to see what all the commotion was all about.) And they are still making me fill out this stupid thing!”
Mimi (breathing hard): “Why don’t you call San Cai Senior’s cell phone?”
Qing He (throws down the pen): “Right!”
He searches in his pocket for his cell phone. Seeing that everything is ok, Yu Tian starts to walk toward the elevator bank.
Qing He: “Hello? San Cai? I’m downstairs at your company. I have something very, very important in this world to talk to you about. Come down immediately. (pause) Right. (pause, speaking loudly) Dao Ming Si regained his memory! (Yu Tian stops walking and looks over at Qing He when he hears this.) Hurry up!”
Yu Tian quickly takes the elevator up to Dao Ming Feng’s office to inform her of what he overheard.
Yu Tian: “Madam.”
Dao Ming Feng: “You may go now. Go downstairs first. I want to think this over.”
Yu Tian: “Yes.”
He then bows and leaves the office.
Mimi is standing downstairs at the lobby while Qing He is impatiently running circles around her, all the while calling out, “Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.”
San Cai (quickly runs over): “Qing He!”
Mimi: “San Cai Senior.”
Qing He (stops running): “San Cai!”
San Cai (out of breath): “You said that Dao Ming Si regained his memory!”
Qing He: “Right.”
San Cai (anxiously): “What is this all about? Hurry up and tell me.”
Qing He (stammering): “Eh, right. He… He called me. And then… he recognized me at first glance. Moreover, he was the one to call me first. He called me Qing He.”
San Cai (gets impatient with him): “Qing He can you please say it clearly again? You said that he recognized you. Then where did you guys meet and what did you say?”
Qing He: “I… I…”
Mimi (helps him out): “San Cai Senior. It all happened like this. When I and Qing He Senior was going to school, we met up with Dao Ming Si Senior on the way. The minute that he saw us, he called out to Qing He Senior. The two of them started talking to each other. It all happened very naturally and didn’t seem like that there was any matter of amnesia.”
Qing He: “Right, right. That’s how it was.”
San Cai (very happy): “He recognized you? (Qing He nods his head.) He remembers! He remembers everything? (She’s so happy that tears are coming to her eyes.) Dao Ming Si regained his memory! Dao Ming Si regained his memory! Then... then what should I do? What do I have to do?”
Qing He (looking around): “Right, what should you do? What should you do?”
Mimi: “First, tell him to cancel his engagement.”
San Cai: “Cancel the engagement?”
Qing He: “Right! He regained his memory. It would be like the old times when he loves you. He won’t love this whoever, Budan Princess. And then he will return to your side. Tell this whoever Budan Princess, to go home and eat herself! (He walks over to grab hold of San Cai’s arm.) Let’s all go to find Dao Ming Si. Hurry up.”
Qing He drags San Cai along and starts to walk quickly.
Mimi: “Eh, Qing He Senior! Wait for me! Qing He Senior!”
Mimi starts to quickly limp after them.
The breakfast van stops outside Dao Ming Corporation and Dao Ming Si gets out of the van.
Dao Ming Si: “Trouble you guys to help me bring Ye Sha home.”
Da Xin: “Not a problem.”
Dao Ming Si: “Thanks.”
Da Xin: “Ok. We’re leaving now. Bye.”
The van drives away and Dao Ming Si stood there staring at the back of the van for a few seconds. Then he takes a deep breath before walking across the street toward the entrance of Dao Ming Corporation.
Qing He (holding onto San Cai’s left arm and walking rather quickly): “Hurry and go find Dao Ming Si. Forget about going back to work. Hurry.”
Mimi (limping): “Senior, wait for me!”
As Mimi walks out, she sees Dao Ming Si walk pass her and into the building.
Mimi (stops and calls out): “Qing He Senior! (points to Dao Ming Si) Dao Ming Si.”
Mimi limps back and stands in front of Dao Ming Si.
Mimi (holds her arms out to block Dao Ming Si): “Dao Ming Si Senior.”
Qing He and San Cai quickly runs back to stand in front of Dao Ming Si.
Qing He (to Dao Ming Si): “You recognize me as Chan Qing He, right?”
Dao Ming Si (amused, calls Qing He by the nickname that F4 gave him): “What do you want now?”
Qing He (looks at San Cai): “Wow, he even knows that I am ‘bao fa hu de er zi.’ Then you must have a lot of words to say to San Cai. Hurry.”
San Cai (smiles shyly): “Qing He.”
Dao Ming Si: “Did I ask for your opinion, Chan Qing He?”
San Cai smiles happily when she hears this phrase that the old Dao Ming Si always use to say.
Dao Ming Si: “I do have a lot of things to say to San Cai, but…”
Qing He (interrupts him): “Then hurry up and say it.”
Dao Ming Si: “You are so annoying! (smiles) Forget it. (turns to face San Cai) San… San Cai. Thank you. (San Cai’s smile starts to slowly disappear from her face.) With regard to the breakfast van, Ye Sha is very happy. (San Cai starts to lower her head and stare at the floor.) I haven’t seen her this happy for a long time. So… thank you.”
Qing He: “Huh? That’s it? Shouldn’t you… have something more to say to San Cai?”
Dao Ming Si: “Then what else should I say? Oh! (He reaches over and holds onto San Cai’s left hand.) Help me to say thank you to uncle.”
Then he lets go of her hand and San Cai looks down on the floor and forces a smile on her face.
Qing He: “Huh? That’s not it! Dao Ming Si, you should say I love San…”
San Cai (quickly interrupts him): “Qing He! (turns to look at Dao Ming Si) Dao Ming Si, don’t mind him. You go and do your own things.”
Qing He: “No! You have to first explain everything clearly to me.”
Dao Ming Si (smiling): “Fine. Then let’s clearly talk it over. Chan Qing He, exactly what have I done that you are feeling so dissatisfied about?”
Qing He: “I am dissatisfied at YOU! Since you have regained your memories…”
San Cai (interrupts him loudly again): “Don’t say anymore!”
There was a moment of awkwardness after San Cai’s outburst.
Dao Ming Si: “I better go up first. (He pats Qing He’s left arm.) Qing He, stop making San Cai mad, do you hear?”
Qing He: “You…”
Dao Ming Si walks away.
Qing He (turns quickly): “Dao Ming Si!”
San Cai (grabs hold of Qing He’s arm to stop him from going after Dao Ming Si): “Qing He.”
Qing He: “San Cai, he obviously has regained his memory already.”
San Cai (quietly): “He didn’t regain his memory.”
Qing He: “You’re lying. He knew that I was ‘bao fa hu de er zi.’”
San Cai: “If he really did regain his memory, then he would have pushed you away a long time ago, since you were annoying him so much, no?”
Qing He (thinks for a few seconds): “Right.”
Mimi: “San Cai Senior. Don’t you want to go back to the way it was in the past with Dao Ming Si Senior?”
San Cai: “If I can’t go back, at least right now, I can stay beside Dao Ming Si’s side and create new memories, no?”
Qing He (looks at San Cai’s sad face): “San Cai.”
After Mimi and Qing He left, San Cai goes up to the rooftop and stood there thinking.
San Cai (thinking to herself): “I’m lying if I say I don’t feel any regrets. If even Qing He has a place in Dao Ming Si’s memories, then why is it that I, am left outside of Dao Ming Si’s memories?”
As San Cai stands there staring out at nothing, Dao Ming Si walks up from behind and stands next to her.
Dao Ming Si: “Actually, that wasn’t all that I had to say before.”
San Cai: “Dao Ming Si.”
Dao Ming Si: “There are some feelings that I’m not sure who I should speak to about. May I say it to you?”
San Cai: “Are we not friends?”
Dao Ming Si: “It’s very weird. (looks at San Cai) Why would I remember Qing He? Moreover, only just remember Qing He. It scared even myself. (pause) Qing He… And also when I think of him, I would feel that it was very funny. (San Cai smiles beside him.) Could it be that I was very good friends with him in the past?”
San Cai (smiling): “Can’t be said very good friends. Qing He was my high school classmate. After he transferred into Ying De, he had always admired F4. He constantly wants to hang out with you guys, but you guys always find ways of making fun of him.”
Dao Ming Si: “Find ways to make fun of him? (San Cai nods her head, smiling.) And then?”
San Cai: “And then, he still continuously want to join with you guys. You guys would continue to find ways of making fun of him. And then he would continue to try even harder to join with you guys.”
Dao Ming Si: “This kind of feeling is really very strange. When I think of Qing He, I don’t get feelings of having a headache at all. (pause) Maybe it has to do with the fact that he is very funny, that’s why my memories choose him. (pause) But there is still something that I don’t quite understand. You guys… remember everything? I… I mean, you people who have not lost your memories, if you have to remember everything, then wouldn’t it be very tiring?”
San Cai: “We would often forget too. Like textbooks – however it’s learned then that’s how it is forgotten. Also those people that are not important, those things that are not important. Isn’t there something called ‘nao ke liang’? It should mean something like, when there are new memories coming in, then the old memories would have to be rid of. But there are some things that even if you want to forget, you can’t forget.”
Dao Ming Si (puzzled): “What things are that which you want to forget but can’t forget?”
San Cai looks away from Dao Ming Si with her head down and doesn’t answer. Dao Ming Si realizes that he asked something that he shouldn’t have asked, so he quickly changes the subject.
Dao Ming Si: “Eh, let’s have lunch together later, ok?”
San Cai: “Have lunch?”
Dao Ming Si nods his head.
San Cai (smiling): “Ok.”
Dao Ming Si: “Then what would you like to eat?”
At this moment, Yu Tian walks up to them.
Yu Tian: “Master. Madam is looking for you.”
Dao Ming Si (to San Cai): “Then you think about it. I’ll give you a call later.”
San Cai: “I’ll wait for your call.”
Dao Ming Si walks away with Yu Tian following him while San Cai still stands there with a smile on her face.
Qing He and Mimi is having lunch at a fast food restaurant. Qing He is sitting at the table with his head down, elbows on the table with both hands holding a hamburger that is raised up as the same level as his forehead. Mimi unwraps her burger and was about to take a bit when she notices that Qing He was sitting there like a statue.
Mimi: “Qing He Senior, are you praying? When did you become a Christian?”
Qing He (slowly raising his head over his high rise hamburger): “Hm, how can it be that Dao Ming Si didn’t regain his memories? He obviously remembers me.”
Mimi: “With regard to this point, I have come to a small conclusion.”
Qing He: “What conclusion?”
Mimi: “It’s obviously very clear that Qing He Senior is Dao Ming Si Senior’s link to his past memories. Which means that Qing He Senior is Dao Ming Si Senior’s key to opening up the memory door.”
Qing He: “You’re saying… I’m what?!”
Mimi (puts down her burger): “Senior, you are the key person. (She holds up both hands and makes a motion of quotation marks.) ‘The key to the memories.’ I believe that you are the only person that can help Dao Ming Si Senior to regain his memories now.”
Qing He (thinks and then calls out): “Right!”
He quickly takes three big bites of his hamburger.
Mimi: “So, the one that can help San Cai Senior to get back her happiness is only you, Qing He Senior.”
Mimi picks up her burger with a smile after her explanation.
Qing He (with his mouth full): “So that’s why God arranged for me to stay quietly by San Cai’s side – it’s to help Dao Ming Si to find his memories.”
Mimi (nods her head while chewing): “My dad said that a guy who finds one’s own mission, for one’s dream, and burns with enthusiasm for it, then he is a good man who has dreams and bravery.”
Qing He (chewing): “Right! (pause) Mimi! I am willing to do anything for San Cai!”
Qing He goes back to taking big bites out of his hamburger. Mimi stares at him with a smile on her face which is filled with love.
Mimi: “I really am very envious of San Cai Senior. There are so many people that are working so hard for her happiness.”
Qing He (chewing, speaks with his mouth full): “Mimi, then let us together, (pushes Mimi’s hands, which is holding her hamburger, toward her mouth. She had no choice but to take a big bite out of it.) work hard for San Cai’s happiness.”
Qing He then continues biting his hamburger. Mimi nods her head happily while chewing.
San Cai is outside and feeding a dog her lunchbox.
San Cai (smiling happily): “Xiao Guai, you can eat more today because I’m going to be having lunch with Dao Ming Si later.”
San Cai smiles and looks at her cell phone in her hands.
Meanwhile, Dao Ming Si is having lunch with his mother in a restaurant.
Dao Ming Feng: “Ah Si, Mommy has arranged an appointment for you with a doctor from the brain surgeon department. In the next two days, Mommy will go with you and have a thorough examination.”
Dao Ming Si (cutting up his steak, and speaking without looking up): “You don’t have to worry about my things. If there is any need, then Ye Sha will go with me.”
Dao Ming Feng: “How are you and Ye Sha getting along recently?”
Dao Ming Si (pauses before looking up at his mom): “You seem to imply that I and Ye Sha should not be getting on well.”
Dao Ming Feng (smiles and puts down her fork): “Maybe Mommy is thinking too much. I just feel that since you’ve been so close with San Cai recently and plus the relationship that you use to have with her, (Dao Ming Si is cutting his steak again, and slowly stops.) don’t know if Ye Sha would be oversensitive about it.”
Dao Ming Si (freezes in his movement of cutting up the steak and looks up): “Ma, San Cai is Ye Sha’s good friend. She will not be thinking about these foolish things like you.”
Dao Ming Feng: “Maybe Ye Sha won’t have these foolish thoughts… (pause) But what about San Cai?”
Dao Ming Si (stopping carving again): “What do you mean by that?”
Dao Ming Feng: “Ah Si, don’t tell me that you’ve never thought about it? Why is it that a girl that has broken up with you in the past, deliberately plan to appear by your side?”
Dao Ming Si (exasperated): “Isn’t it your arrangement for her to work in the company?”
Dao Ming Feng: “That’s because Mommy pities her. (Dao Ming Si looks away and goes back to carving, looking a bit annoyed.) But then later I found out that her motive is not so simple. She’s been constantly trying to find a chance to intervene between your and Ye Sha’s relationship. (pause) Don’t you feel that Ye Sha’s moods are frequently rising and falling without any reasons because of San Cai?”
Dao Ming Si (getting upset): “She’s not that kind of person!”
Dao Ming Feng (getting loud): “San Cai is not kind of person! How much do you remember? I have been looking at her all this time, deliberately planning, using feelings to torture you, to pull you along. (Dao Ming Si is listening very closely to everything that she is saying.) If it wasn’t because of her selfish possessiveness, then how come the car incident in Barcelona happened?! (pause) I would so much as suspect that your amnesia, is all because your sub-consciousness is resisting all the unhappiness in the past. (pause) But, she is very smart. She knows how to hold onto a chance, using her own innocence and the responsibility of the car accident, and pushes it all onto Ye Sha. Made Ye Sha sink between guilt stricken and holding herself responsible. The whole motive is to make Ye Sha return you to her. Not only in this way…”
Dao Ming Si finally had enough and threw down his utensils against the plate loudly and stands up, pushing his chair back.
Dao Ming Si (loudly): “That’s enough!”
Dao Ming Feng backs up with a surprise look on her face.
Dao Ming Si: “I may have lost my memory, but I still have my eyes! (pause) The San Cai that I see, is definitely not that type of person!”
He throws down his napkin and turns to walk away.
Dao Ming Feng (calling out): “Ah Si! (He stops with his back to the table.) You can be mad at me but Mommy hopes that you will believe that in this world, the only person that will not harm you is Mommy.”
Dao Ming Si: “I’m full. You carry on.”
Dao Ming Si walks out of the restaurant with Dao Ming Feng looking after him with a satisfied look on her face.
Back in San Cai’s department, all the desks are empty because everybody has left for lunch. San Cai is at her desk with her head resting on her arm, staring at her cell phone. As she continues to stare at her phone, it suddenly rings. She quickly reaches for it and answers it.
San Cai (smiling): “Hello? (The happy smile disappears.) Ye Sha? Tonight? Ok, then I’ll see you tonight. Bye bye.”
San Cai hangs up in the phone in disappointment. She looks around and sees that everybody is coming back from lunch. Then she opens up her drawer and takes out some biscuits and goes back to work while eating.
Mei Zuo quietly creeps into a room and tiptoes over to a large shape that is covered with a blanket on a bed. He quietly lays down next to the person and then suddenly starts making a loud sound like a rooster. The person on the side starts moving around.
Mei Zuo: “Time to get out of bed!”
Lei (pushes the blanket away from his head): “I haven’t slept for 15 hours yet. Stop bothering me.”
Mei Zuo (looks over at Lei and smiles): “Sometimes I really am very envious of you. It doesn’t matter what happens, you can still fall asleep.”
Lei: “Since you understand, then good. (He turns over to his side with his back to Mei Zuo.) So, don’t come and bother me with your things.”
Mei Zuo (looking up at the ceiling): “I have nothing to do so that’s why I’m bored. If I can sleep like you then that would be good.”
Lei doesn’t pay him any attention so Mei Zuo moves closer to him and pops up on his elbow. He started singing “Thinking about 10 of you” from his album. As he continues to sing, Lei moves his hand and tries to cover his ears from the sound. This just makes Mei Zuo lean against Lei even more and singing even louder. Lei gets irritated and pushes Mei Zuo away and pops up on his two elbows.
Lei: “AH! You are annoying. (Mei Zuo laughs.) Xi Men is working so hard that his stomach had a hole in it. You are also a working person. But you ran all the way to my home to sing?”
Mei Zuo (scoffs): “The company is the same with or without me. (Lei lays back down on the bed.) I’m only responsible for stamping and signing. (Lei ignores him and settles back down on his side of the bed.) Everyday stamp, stamp, stamp. Stamp until the end of the day. This kind of work, I don’t even need to do. Like Xi Men, working so hard that his stomach is bleeding, I’m not interested in that either.”
Lei went back to sleep and not paying Mei Zuo any attention.
Mei Zuo: “You really have to continue sleeping? (no answer and no movement) Alright then, I’ll stop disturbing you. I only want to… (He starts to sing again.) Make a wish, make a wish. (Lei starts to move in annoyance again.) Don’t close your eyes and sleep. (Lei covers his ear with his hand again.) Hurry up and get out of bed. And go with me to sing. (loudly) LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!”
Lei continues to ignore him and covering his ear.
Mei Zuo: “Lei, Xi Men is out of the hospital already. Us F4 should all get together. (He pats Lei on the back.) What do you say? (no answer, so he pats again.) What do you say?”
Lei (mumbles into the pillow): “Ok.”
Mei Zuo (nudges Lei on the back again): “What do you say, Lei?”
Still no movement from Lei so Mei Zuo shakes him roughly. Lei pops up and then plops back down on his back with a very exasperated sigh. Mei Zuo laughs. Lei pops up on his elbow again and looks at Mei Zuo.
Lei: “If you want to make an arrangement, then can you go downstairs and make the calls? (Mei Zuo sighs loudly.) Also, next time, if you want to sing, then why don’t you go to KTV to sing!”
Lei lies back down with his back to Mei Zuo and pulls his blanket up.
Mei Zuo: “I am singing live for you and you are still acting like this? (He looks to the side.) No standards!”
F4 meets in a pub and is drinking wine around a table. After making a toast, they all took a sip of their drinks.
Xi Men: “We really haven’t gotten together in a long time. Ah Si, you have also been absent for a long time.”
Dao Ming Si (smiles): “Eh, your stomach is only just better. Can you drink?”
Xi Men: “When I left the hospital, I have already drank with father.”
Mei Zuo (surprised): “Drank with your father?”
Xi Men (puts his glass down on the table): “I’ve been very happy recently. It’s a bit exaggerating talking like this, but I have this feeling like an orphan who just found his real father.”
Mei Zuo: “Good. Then for your happiness today, let’s have another toast.”
They all picked up their glasses and gave another toast.
Dao Ming Si: “Xi Men. You’re happy, so of course, I’m happy for you also. But, ‘an orphan who just found his real father’ what does that mean?”
Xi Men (refilling their wine glasses): “I’ve always had a bad relationship with my dad. But this time after I’ve been sick, it actually helped improved our relationship.”
Dao Ming Si nods his head in understanding.
Mei Zuo: “Ah Si, although we can accept the present you 100%, but we still hope that you will quickly regain your memory. So that you can understand what we are talking about.”
Dao Ming Si (smiling): “Hey, I found out something very strange today. I actually saw Qing He.”
Mei Zuo: “What’s so strange about that?”
Dao Ming Si: “No, the strange part is that I actually recognized him at first glance. Moreover, I immediately called out his name.”
Xi Men: “Then that’s a little strange.”
Mei Zuo (smiling): “Do you still remember how we use to make fun of this ‘bao fa hu de er zi?”
Dao Ming Si: “San Cai did mention it to me. But I have no impression of it.”
Xi Men: “No impression is ok. This should be a good news.”
Mei Zuo: “Right. This means that you are quick in regaining your memory. (pause) Let’s toast again.”
Xi Men (after the toast, looks at Mei Zuo): “What about you?”
Mei Zuo: “What about me?”
Xi Men: “What’s your good news?”
Mei Zuo (sighing): “Why would I have any good news?”
Xi Men: “Didn’t you go to matchmaking?”
Mei Zuo (sighs again): “I’m so annoyed with talking about this.”
Xi Men: “Annoyed? Is it because the other party is too stupid, too ugly or too cute?”
Mei Zuo: “She’s not stupid. She’s not ugly. And she’s also not cute. I just don’t like her.”
Dao Ming Si: “Then you should reject her immediately. What’s so annoying about that?”
Mei Zuo: “Of course, it’s annoying. It’s obviously a vase, but it’s still trying to pretend otherwise. I thought if we both didn’t like each other, then it would be fine. She said something about when we were on a date, we were very happy, in front of my mom and her mom. Made me go on boring dates with her over and over again.”
Lei (smiling): “Continue to have boring dates. It doesn’t sound like Mei Zuo.”
Mei Zuo opens his mouth and tries to say something, but nothing comes out so he shuts up.
Dao Ming Si: “Hey, then you should tell her directly that you don’t like her. Wouldn’t that be the way to go?”
Mei Zuo: “I did say it! I used all the methods already but it’s all no use!”
Xi Men (teases): “You probably can’t bear to use your methods, right?”
F3 looks at Mei Zuo and smiles.
Mei Zuo: “Fine. (He picks up his cell phone on the table.) Then I’ll call her now. Make her give up once and for all tonight.”
Dao Ming Si: “Would she come?”
Xi Men: “Ah Si, in the past, if we just open our mouth, there are no girls that would reject us.”
Dao Ming Si: “Really?”
Mei Zuo: “Only your Ye Sha Princess is such a big shot. (on cell phone) Hello? Hello? I am Mei Zuo. I’m together with my buddies now. Hurry up and come over.”
Xi Men (to Dao Ming Si): “Hey, let’s have a fiancé meet fiancé. (points to Dao Ming Si’s cell phone on the table) Call Ye Sha to come over.”
Dao Ming Si: “Huh?”
Lei turns to look at Dao Ming Si. Dao Ming Si picks up his cell phone and smiles lightly at Lei.
Ye Sha and San Cai is having dinner together.
Ye Sha (looking at San Cai, smiling): “Why do you have such a good appetite today?”
San Cai (smiles): “Because I didn’t have lunch today.”
Ye Sha: “Didn’t have lunch?”
San Cai nods her head.
Ye Sha: “Why?”
San Cai: “Because… um… (she picks up a napkin to wipe her mouth) because…”
Just at this moment, Ye Sha’s cell phone starts ringing: “Brave Ye Sha. Brave Ye Sha. Brave Ye Sha.”
Ye Sha (smiles at San Cai and picks up the phone): “Hello? (pause) I’m with San Cai right now. I’m not free.”
She hangs up the phone and looks at San Cai.
Ye Sha: “It’s Ah Sing.”
San Cai smiles and nods her head.
San Cai (chewing): “Your ring tone is very cute.”
Ye Sha smiles at San Cai, then looks at her cell phone. She picks it up and started to change the ring tone.
San Cai: “Why did you change it?”
Ye Sha: “I wanted to change it a long time ago. This ring tone is so embarrassing.”
San Cai just looks at the cell phone and there was a moment of awkwardness at the table.
Ye Sha: “Hey, you still didn’t tell me why you didn’t have lunch this afternoon.”
San Cai: “Eh, I… was too busy. Forgot to eat. (takes a bite of her sandwich, and quickly changes the subject) Where do you want to go afterwards?”
Ye Sha (chewing): “Hm, I want to go buy some books. I can read it when I can’t sleep at night.”
San Cai: “Ok, then after we finish eating, we’ll go to the bookstore.”
Ye Sha nods her head in agreement.
Back at the pub, Dao Ming Si is standing to the side and staring at his cell phone. He turns to walk back to the table where F3 is at.
Mei Zuo: “What’s wrong? She can’t come again?”
Dao Ming Si: “She’s together with San Cai. It seems that when the two of them are together, I would become unnecessary.”
Xi Men: “Ye Sha is together with San Cai.”
Dao Ming Si: “Right. (He starts to walk over to his seat.) Is that very weird?”
Mei Zuo (sits back down): “Not weird. But the two of them are after all…”
Dao Ming Si: “Huh? What? Why won’t you finish what you are saying?”
Mei Zuo (smiles): “Nothing. It’s not an important matter in our drinking tonight.”
Dao Ming Si: “Hey, right. There’s something that I want to ask the three of you. The time when San Cai has to come to our company to work, you guys weren’t in favor of the idea. Why is that?”
Mei Zuo: “It’s not that we weren’t in favor of the idea. It’s just that we were afraid that San Cai would get hurt. But this San Cai is indeed a weed. The more difficulties there are, the stronger she gets. (pause) She can still be good friends with you and Ye Sha. If it was the three of us that was in such an awkward situation, then we would have hidden far away from it already.”
Dao Ming Si: “So what you mean is that San Cai has a motive for working in our company?”
Lei (quickly looks over at Dao Ming Si): “Using ‘motive’ such a word is very unfair to San Cai. It should be said that San Cai is very brave. She bravely chooses another method to love you.”
Xi Men: “San Cai is like that. So silly that it’s cute.”
At this moment, Xiao Qiao shows up.
Xiao Qiao: “Sorry, I’m late.”
Xi Men (surprised at who the girl is): “Ying Xiao Qiao!”
F3 stands up while Mei Zuo is still sitting down with his back toward Xiao Qiao.
Xi Men (speaking to Dao Ming Si and Lei): “This is Jun Li Construction’s President’s daughter.”
Xiao Qiao (bows lightly): “Nice to meet you all.”
Xi Men: “Mei Zuo. Help introduce us.”
Mei Zuo stands up reluctantly and walks over to stand next to Xiao Qiao.
Mei Zuo: “These three are my very good friends. (pause) As for how close, let me tell you. If the three of them and you, all fall into the sea, then I would go and save them (smiles sweetly at her) and not you.”
Dao Ming Si and Lei looks away, feeling a little uncomfortable at Mei Zuo’s rudeness.
Xiao Qiao (smiles and replies): “Well, of course. I can swim, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
Mei Zuo looks to the side and smiles in disbelief before introducing F3.
Mei Zuo (looking at Dao Ming Si): “Dao Ming Si – Dao Ming Corporation’s 3rd generation successor.”
Xiao Qiao smiles and bows lightly at Dao Ming Si. Dao Ming Si walks over and holds out his hand to shake Xiao Qiao’s.
Dao Ming Si: “Nice to meet you.”
Xiao Qiao: “Nice to meet you too.”
Dao Ming Si (whispers softly, smiling): “I also know how to swim.”
Xiao Qiao smiles back widely and looks back at Lei and Xi Men.
Mei Zuo: “Hua Ze Lei – Hau Ze Property Insurance’s successor.”
Lei (reaches over to shake her hand): “Nice to meet you.”
Xiao Qiao (leans over to shake Lei’s hand, smiling): “Nice to meet you too. Then you are also a master swimmer?”
Lei: “If we really did fall into the sea, Mei Zuo only needs to look after himself. We don’t need him to worry about us.”
Mei Zuo: “Xi Men – Xi Men Corporation’s future President.”
Xi Men (shakes her hand): “Nice to meet you.”
Xiao Qiao: “Last time I represented my dad to attend your celebration banquet. My dad told me that you showed a very outstanding performance with your work. He believes that in the future you would play a very decisive role in the business market.”
Xi Men (a little embarrassed at the praise): “No, no. I also heard that you are great with the cello.”
Xiao Qiao: “Thank you.”
Xi Men: “Sit, sit.”
Everybody sits down around the table and Dao Ming Si clears his throat.
Dao Ming Si (to Xiao Qiao): “What would you like to drink?”
Xiao Qiao smiles and looks over at Mei Zuo, hoping that he would suggest something. Mei Zuo looks away and pretends otherwise. Xiao Qiao gives a little embarrassed smile and then picks up Mei Zuo’s glass of wine from the table.
Xiao Qiao (holding up the glass): “I’ll propose a toast to everyone. Very happy that I am invited to your gathering.”
F3 and Xiao Qiao takes a sip of their wine, while Mei Zuo just sits there.
Mei Zuo: “Don’t be too happy. We were just placing a bet before to see who could make his girl come at his beckoning. (pause) Can’t believe that you are so obedient.”
Xiao Qiao (smiling): “Really? Then I’m really honored.”
Mei Zuo: “Since you are so obedient and gave me such face in front of my buddies, (pause) then I feel that I should give you a present.”
Xiao Qiao looks over at Mei Zuo and Mei Zuo suddenly grabs her and kisses her.
Summary of MG2 Episode 23:
Xiao Qiao (holding up the glass): “I’ll propose a toast to everyone. Very happy that I am invited to your gathering.”
F3 and Xiao Qiao takes a sip of their wine, while Mei Zuo just sits there.
Mei Zuo: “Don’t be too happy. We were just placing a bet before to see who could make his girl come at his beckoning. (pause) Can’t believe that you are so obedient.”
Xiao Qiao (smiling): “Really? Then I’m really honored.”
Mei Zuo: “Since you are so obedient and gave me such face in front of my buddies, (pause) then I feel that I should give you a present.”
Xiao Qiao looks over at Mei Zuo and Mei Zuo suddenly grabs her and kisses her. F3 looks on at the two of them, surprised and shocked. Mei Zuo pulls away from Xiao Qiao and she holds a hand over her mouth that had just been kissed.
Mei Zuo (looks at F3): “Everyone, (Xiao Qiao tries to hold her composure together.) This is my very obedient, well matched in social status, number 101 girlfriend. (turns to look over at Xiao Qiao) The kiss just now is all thanks to my friends. (Xiao Qiao forces a smile on her face.) You should say thank you to them.”
Xiao Qiao smiles lightly then gets up and pours more red wine from the bottle into her glass. While F3 looks up at her in surprise, Xiao Qiao downs the whole glass of red wine. There was total silence around the table as everyone feels a little uneasy.
Xiao Qiao (finishes drinking her wine): “My capacity for liquor is not that good. After drinking this cup, I think that it should be about enough. I think I better not be disturbing everybody’s interest anymore. If there is another chance next time, then I would definitely talk more with you guys. Goodbye.”
Xiao Qiao walks away with the empty wine glass in her hand. Then she comes back and picks up her purse that she left behind. She wanted to put the glass back down on the table but then she took it with her again. She still seems to be a little disoriented over the kiss.
Xi Men: “Mei Zuo, you should bring her back.”
Mei Zuo stands up and walks over to Xiao Qiao. He puts the empty wine glass back on the table and then turns to her.
Mei Zuo: “Let’s go.”
Once Mei Zuo leaves with Xiao Qiao, Dao Ming Si turns to look at Xi Men and Lei.
Dao Ming Si: “Eh, is Mei Zuo a little over the line this time?”
Xi Men: “I think that this Ying Xiao Qiao is not bad. Why doesn't Mei Zuo like her?”
Lei: “Really? I feel that Mei Zuo is already in love with her.”
Away from the sight of F3, Xiao Qiao is walking in front of Mei Zuo and Mei Zuo is following behind her. Suddenly, Xiao Qiao stops, turns around and slaps Mei Zuo. Two guys that are sitting at the bar on the side saw Xiao Qiao slapping Mei Zuo and giggles before turning away.
Xiao Qiao: “A while ago, it was for your face. This slap now is for my face.”
Mei Zuo doesn’t say anything and just looks at her.
Xiao Qiao: “Tomorrow's date is at 2 p.m. in the afternoon. Please remember to come on time to pick me up.”
After saying that Xiao Qiao turns around and leaves. The two guys that are at the bar turns to laugh at Mei Zuo again. Mei Zuo stares at them and they quickly turns away. Mei Zuo smiles, rubbing his cheek and follows Xiao Qiao.
Meanwhile, San Cai and Ye Sha is at a bookstore. Ye Sha is walking around looking and San Cai is standing in front of a wall of books reading a book call ‘Perceptive Memory’. Ye Sha walks over and stands a couple of feet away from San Cai. San Cai notices Ye Sha standing there and smiles at her before putting the book back on the shelf and then walking away. Ye Sha walks over and looks at the book that San Cai was reading and picks it up. After leaving the bookstore, San Cai and Ye Sha are at a coffee shop. Ye Sha starts to take out the books that she bought from the bookstore.
San Cai: “What books did you buy?”
Ye Sha (taking out a book): “The best one is this one. (shows San Cai) Look. This photography album has photographs of the big cities around the world.”
She starts to turn the pages of the book to show San Cai.
Ye Sha: “Before I go to sleep, I would look at this page by page. That way, when I fall asleep, I might dream about going to travel around all these places.”
San Cai (looking at the pictures): “It sounds very good.”
Ye Sha (nods her head in agreement, looks at one picture): “Venice. (turns the page and looks at a stone structure) Heard that it was going to be destroyed soon. So have to hurry up and go see it.”
San Cai: “Really?”
Ye Sha (turning the page again): “I feel that in my past life I must have been a dolphin. From the Pacific Ocean swimming to the Atlantic Ocean. From the North Sea swimming to the South Sea. Constantly in the water. But, very curious about what exactly is the condition on dry land. Finally, this dolphin came down with an anxiety illness and then died. So this life, she reincarnated and became a smart person. Working hard to learn all the different languages and also to learn how to draw. In order to make up for the past life’s regrets, therefore, have to go to all the places around the world to travel. And see all the things that are on this dry land world and then draw it.”
San Cai (smiling): “Your imagination is really very rich.”
They both laugh.
Ye Sha (smiling): “If not, then why would I love traveling so much? Moreover, I’ve started liking it since I was very young. (pause, very serious all of a sudden) If I stay too long in one place, then I would have this feeling of suffocation.”
San Cai is turning the pages of the album and stops on one page seeing a picture of the church that she saw in Barcelona.
San Cai (smiling): “Sheng Jia Tang.”
Ye Sha (looks at the picture also): “Barcelona.”
San Cai: “It’s very beautiful. The last time I went, I didn’t even have enough time to take more pictures. And also didn’t have a chance to buy souvenirs. If there is another chance, then I would definitely go again.”
Ye Sha (smiles lightly): “Right. I have always forgot to ask you. When I and Ah Sing had the car accident, we found a ring, with a design of a meteor star. (San Cai quickly looks up at Ye Sha.) Is it yours?”
San Cai: “You found this ring?”
Ye Sha (nods her head): “But it’s such a pity. Not long after we got to Taiwan, it was stolen by a thief.”
San Cai (looks down in disappointment): “Maybe that’s good. This ring has a curse on it.”
Ye Sha: “But then this ring is really yours? Or is it that Ah Sing was going to give it to you?”
San Cai (looks up at Ye Sha): “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Anyway, it’s not important.”
Ye Sha: “Tell me, San Cai.”
San Cai: “At that time, Dao Ming Si told me to go to the small church to see him. He went by himself to buy the ring first. And then… it’s now. You know about it already.”
Ye Sha doesn’t say anything and just looks on with no expression on her face. Then she forces a smile on her face.
Ye Sha: “Don’t worry. Ah Si will slowly start to regain his memory. (San Cai looks over at Ye Sha.) Soon his memories will return to the time before Barcelona. Then you two will be like old times again and I won’t have to travel by looking at these pictures. Everything will be fine.”
San Cai (serious face): “Ye Sha, what if, after Dao Ming Si regains his memories, he still loves you?”
Ye Sha (laughs it off): “Stupid! How can that be?”
San Cai (smiling also): “Dao Ming Si used to always call me stupid too.”
Ye Sha: “Then now, you must really want to hear him yell at you once again.”
San Cai doesn’t answer, just smiles lightly and goes back to looking at the book.
That night, back in Dao Ming Mansion. Dao Ming Si and Ye Sha are standing outside in the yard area. Ye Sha is standing there with a cell phone in her hand and holding it close to Dao Ming Si’s mouth. Dao Ming Si stares at the phone for a long time before swallowing and then with a very bored expression on his face starts to talk.
Dao Ming Si (with a bland tone): “Stupid, answer the phone. Stupid, answer the phone. (Ye Sha sucks her teeth in annoyance at his tone.) If you really are stupid.”
Ye Sha: “No. You have to yell more seriously. Like you are very angry and very hurt. Again.”
She puts the phone in front of him again.
Dao Ming Si (gets annoyed): “I can’t yell out.”
Ye Sha: “Yes, you can. Hurry up.”
Dao Ming Si (wants to protest): “I…”
Ye Sha stares at him with one hand on her hip and Dao Ming Si’s stops protesting.
Dao Ming Si (irritated): “The other one is very good, why do you have to use this one?”
Ye Sha: “Can you just record it first, ok?”
Dao Ming Si (annoyed): “Aiyo!”
Ye Sha: “Come.”
He grabs the phone from her hands and then yells out loudly toward it, “Stupid, answer the phone! Stupid, answer the phone!”
Ye Sha pulls back smiling with one hand covering her ear. Then she takes the phone from his hands and smiling says, “Thank you!” After getting what she wants, she turns to leave.
Dao Ming Si (calling out to her back): “Hey! You still haven’t told me why…”
He didn’t finish his question because Ye Sha had already walked away.
Xi Men is finally released from his home and back to work. As he walks toward his office, the employees are asking about his health.
Xi Men: “Good morning.”
Girl Employee: “Manager! Your health has recovered?”
Xi Men (smiling): “Yes.”
Girl Employee: “Congratulations!”
Xi Men: “All better. Thank you.”
He continues to walk down the hall.
Employee: “Manager, Good morning.”
Xi Men: “Good morning.”
Inside Xi Men’s office, his assistant is cleaning the stuff that is on his desk. As Xi Men walks into the office, his assistant looks up from what he is doing.
Assistant (surprised): “Eh, Manager.”
Xi Men (walks toward his chair behind the desk): “Good Morning.”
Assistant (walks after Xi Men): “Manager, didn’t the President give an order for you to rest for a few more days?”
Xi Men (looking at the things on his desk): “If I continue to rest, then I’m going to become moldy.”
Assistant: “Orh.”
Xi Men (looks at his assistant): “My father did tell me to lay down at home, but laying down makes me even more tired. (His assistant nods his head in understanding.) Well, (Xi Men pats his assistant on the arm.) are you prepared for more overtime?”
Assistant (nods his head): “Yes, Manager. I can work overtime any time!”
Xi Men: “Then the first thing we should do is…”
Assistant (finishes his sentence for him): “I’ll go and get you a cup of black coffee first.”
Xi Men: “Have to trouble you.”
Assistant (bows): “Not a problem at all.”
His assistant walks away to get the coffee and Xi Men sits down at his desk and begins to look at one of the folders there. As he was looking through one of the folders, he heard someone come up to his desk and assumes that it was his assistant.
Xi Men (talking without looking up): “Assistant Xu, this document is…”
Xi Men’s dad (standing in front of Xi Men’s desk): “You, buddy. (Xi Men looks up in surprise.) Didn’t I tell you not to report back to work this early?”
Xi Men (smiles): “Pa, there’s nothing wrong with me already. If I don’t come to work, then I just can’t seem to stay at home.”
Dad (smiling): “Fine. But you have to watch out for your own health. Don’t be over tired.”
At this moment, Xi Men’s assistant walks in with a cup of coffee in his hands.
Assistant: “Manager.”
He starts to walk over and sees Xi Men’s dad.
Assistant (bows): “President.”
Then Xi Men’s assistant starts to put Xi Men’s coffee on his desk.
Assistant: “Manager, your black coffee.”
Xi Men: “Thank you.”
Dad: “Assistant Xu.”
Assistant: “Yes, President.”
Dad (to the assistant): “This stuff is not good for his stomach. Don’t let him drink it.”
Assistant: “Orh.”
Xi Men’s assistant picks up the cup of coffee and walks toward the door with it. Xi Men’s dad looks at his watch. When the assistant is by the door, he turns around and looks at Xi Men. He makes a motion that he was going to bring the coffee away and then bring it back again. Xi Men looks over at him, smiles widely and nods his head. Xi Men’s dad notices him and turns around to look at Xi Men’s assistant. When the assistant saw that Xi Men’s dad was looking at him, he quickly walks away with the cup of coffee.
In the park, Qing He and Mimi are sitting on a bench together and Mimi is reading a little book.
Qing He: “Well? Is it ok?”
Mimi nods her head while turning the pages of the book.
Qing He: “Is there anything else that needs to be added on?”
Mimi bites her lips and shakes her head. Then suddenly she started crying. Qing He looks at her in surprise then he looks around a couple of times. As Mimi starts to cry loudly, he quickly moves away from her and sits at the edge of the bench.
Qing He (looking around again, with a nervous expression): “Mimi. Can you please don’t cry? If you continue like this, then other people might think that I might have did something to you.”
Mimi (drying her tears): “Ying De University’s love myth. San Cai Senior and Dao Ming Si Senior’s story. Under Dearest Qing He Senior’s diligent hard work, I now understand everything.”
Qing He (quickly moves back next to Mimi and grabs the book from her hands): “Really? I spent a whole day and night thinking, racking my brains, continuously thinking about the things that happened in the past and took down these notes. Its missing bits and pieces here and there, you still can understand it?”
Mimi (nods her head): “Of course! Moreover, it is very touching.”
Qing He: “So, I only need to show these notes to Dao Ming Si, then it would definitely be able to help Dao Ming Si’s memories.”
Mimi (agrees): “Definitely! Of course! It’s guarantee to work! (pause, smiling shyly) Qing He Senior, I have a very personal question. Wonder if I can ask you about it?”
Qing He: “Could it be… that your dad said something to you again?”
Mimi: “Oh, no, no. (pause) I was saying, Qing He Senior. (She suddenly grabs onto Qing He’s arm and Qing He pulls back a little in surprise.) If by any chance, there comes a day when something happens to me, would you care about me like you care about San Cai Senior?”
Qing He looks away and then stands up. Mimi is still waiting for his answer.
Qing He (smiling slightly, taking his arm out of Mimi’s grasp): “No.”
Then he sits back down on the bench.
Mimi (stood there with a disappointed look on her face): “Oh.”
Then she sits back down next to Qing He and looks unhappy. Qing He sees the way that Mimi looks, quickly tries to think up of something to comfort her.
Qing He: “Well, it’s because… You and I do not know each other that well. When the day comes that you are like the way that I and San Cai know each other, then I would do all that I can to protect you.”
Mimi (smiling again): “Hearing Qing He Senior say this, it makes me feel very relieved. I will definitely continue to work harder.”
Qing He: “Of course! Have to continue to work harder. But now we have to work hard for San Cai’s happiness.”
He reaches in his pant pocket for his cell phone. Mimi nods her head in agreement. Qing He takes out his phone and scrolls down his address book to find Dao Ming Si’s phone number.
In Dao Ming Si’s office, he is sitting at his desk and signing some documents with his assistant standing next to him.
Dao Ming Si (closes up the file that he just signed): “Ok. Thank you.”
Then he hands it over to his assistant.
Assistant: “Also, sorry, Manager. I’m going outside for lunch. Do you need me to help you bring some lunch back?”
Dao Ming Si: “Huh? It’s lunch already? (pauses and thinks) Oh, that’s ok. I have already made plans with someone. Thank you.”
Assistant: “Then if there’s nothing else, I’ll go now.”
Dao Ming Si: “Ok. Fine.”
He sat at his desk thinking, then picks up his cell phone. He stares at his cell phone for a while before putting it down and getting up from his desk. The moment that he walks away, his cell phone started ringing on his desk.
In San Cai’s department, San Cai just received a package and is signing for it.
San Cai (handing the clipboard back to the deliver guy): “Thank you.”
Guy: “Miss, this is a delivery and pick up.”
San Cai: “Oh.”
She quickly opens up the package and reads the note that is inside.
Note from Michelle: “This is the newest ‘exchange cell phones game.’ So, hurry up and send your cell phone back to me.”
After reading the note, San Cai takes the cell phone out from inside the package. Then she puts her own cell phone into the envelope and hands it back to the delivery guy that is waiting.
San Cai: “Thank you.”
She picks up the cell phone and is looking at it when Dao Ming Si walks over.
Dao Ming Si: “Hey, workaholic. It’s lunchtime.”
He walks away without waiting for an answer and San Cai smiles and follows him.
After lunch, San Cai and Dao Ming Si goes back to the office. They got in the elevator and San Cai pushes the number for her floor.
San Cai: “Dao Ming Si, thank you for treating me to lunch.”
Dao Ming Si (smiles): “Thank you for helping me order that breakfast van. Thank you for hanging out with Ye Sha. Thank you for making Ye Sha this happy.”
San Cai (smiling): “Why so many ‘thank yous’?”
Dao Ming Si: “You were the one that thanked me first.”
San Cai: “Orh. Then let’s agree that we don’t have to say thank you anymore.”
Dao Ming Si: “Hmm, (nods his head) it’s settled then.”
San Cai nods her head. Then the elevator stops on San Cai’s floor.
San Cai: “Bye bye.”
Dao Ming Si nods his head and San Cai walks out of the elevator. The minute that she walks out, her cell phone starts ringing, “Stupid, answer the phone! Stupid, answer the phone!” San Cai looks at the phone, turns to look at Dao Ming Si and then looks back at the phone. Dao Ming Si looks at San Cai with a startled look. He was just about to walk out of the elevator after San Cai when the door closed shut.
San Cai (answering the phone): “Hello? Ye Sha?”
Meanwhile, Dao Ming Si goes back to his office and walks over to sit on the edge of his desk. As he sat there, he reaches over the desk to pick up his cell phone and sees the missed call. Then he dials the number of the missed caller.
Dao Ming Si: “Hello? Bao fa hu de er zi, what are you looking for me for?”
Mimi and Qing He are sitting at a coffee shop together. Mimi takes out the little book that Qing He wrote the story of San Cai and Dao Ming Si in and puts in on the table with a smile on her face. At this moment, Dao Ming Si walks into the shop and looks around. Qing He looks over at the doorway and squinting his eyes, sees him.
Qing He (calling out): “Dao Ming Si! Over here!”
Mimi and Qing He both stand up from their seats and Dao Ming Si looks over at them. Then he walks toward their table.
Mimi: “Dao Ming Si Senior, please sit.”
Qing He: “Right, right, right. Sit. Don’t be so courteous. Treat this as your own home.”
Dao Ming Si looks around and then sits down. Qing He sits down with him also but Mimi just stood there and stares at Dao Ming Si in awe.
Qing He (notices that she is still standing and tries to catch her attention): “Psssst. Pssst.”
When she looks over at him, he makes the motion of ‘sit down’ with his hand. Mimi sits down and continues to stare at Dao Ming Si with an idolized look on her face. No one says anything and just stared at each other. Dao Ming Si finally makes a move to say something and a waitress comes over.
Waitress (handing Dao Ming Si a menu): “Mr., excuse me. Do you want to order anything?”
Dao Ming Si (looks at the menu): “A coconut juice, please.”
Waitress (taking the menu back): “Great, thank you.”
The waitress walks away and there was silence again as the 3 of them sat at the table and continue to stare at each other.
Dao Ming Si (finally had enough, looks at Qing He): “Didn’t you say that there was something very urgent? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Qing He: “Oh. Then let’s get started. Mimi.”
Mimi (breaking out of her stance at staring at Dao Ming Si): “Huh? Oh.”
She picks up the book and opens her mouth to speak but is stopped by Qing He.
Qing He (holding up a hand): “Just a minute. (looks at Dao Ming Si) Dao Ming Si, I want to go over something very clearly with you first. Everything that is about to happen, you don’t have to thank me. Everything that I do is for San Cai.”
Dao Ming Si: “For San Cai?”
Qing He nods his head.
Dao Ming Si: “What exactly are you up to?”
Qing He: “I’m not up to anything. I am the messenger that God has sent to rescue you.”
Dao Ming Si (amused smile): “Rescue me…”
Qing He (interrupting): “Fine. If you insist on definitely thanking me, then… you let me officially join F4 and become F5. (looks at Mimi) Mimi, let’s start.”
Mimi: “Dao Ming Si Senior, and now I, Mimi Junior, will officially serve you. (reading from book) This entire story starts from the first day of school. (Dao Ming Si has an amused look on his face.) San Cai Senior’s helpful, brave spirit, provoked F4’s leader Dao Ming Si Senior. Dao Ming Si Senior decided to use the red tag to punish San Cai’s weed spirit. (Dao Ming Si’s amused look is gone from his face.) Who would have thought that because of this, Dao Ming Si would have fallen in love with San Cai.”
Flashback from Meteor Garden:
The time when Dao Ming Si took San Cai’s canvas shoes and made a hole into the front so that his foot would fit through.
Dao Ming Si: “Is it this pair of shoes?”
San Cai (a horrified look on her face): “My shoes! (glares angrily at Dao Ming Si) The new semester is only just starting and you are already bullying me! You big headed pig!”
End of flashback.
Mimi (reading): “Hence, at your birthday party, San Cai Senior provoked your cold blooded mother.
Flashback from Meteor Garden:
San Cai is banging on the piano at Dao Ming Si’s birthday party while Dao Ming Feng stares at her with unwelcoming eyes.
End of flashback.
Mimi (reading): “The cookies that San Cai Senior made with her own hands, became your most cherished birthday present.”
Flashback from Meteor Garden:
Dao Ming Si slowly opening up the box of cookies in his car with San Cai.
San Cai: “I baked those at the pastry shop that I work in. (Dao Ming Si slowly picks up a cookie from inside the box with his hand.) It’s a little burned.”
End of flashback.
Mimi (reading): “Therefore, under Mei Zuo Senior’s fate of throwing the dart, you guys decided to head off to Barcelona for your graduation vacation. Unfortunately, the day just when Dao Ming Si Senior is going to propose to San Cai Senior, there was a car accident in Barcelona. When Dao Ming Si wakes up from the sick bed, he forgot his most beloved San Cai. (looks up at Dao Ming Si) I have finished reporting.”
Dao Ming Si had his head down and seems to be thinking about something. Qing He tries to get his attention.
Qing He: “Dao Ming Si. (pause, speaking louder) Dao Ming Si! Did you remember? (laughing, very happy with himself) I really am your ‘key to the memory’!”
Mimi continues to look at Dao Ming Si with a worried look on her face. Dao Ming Si very slowly raises his eyes up and looks at Qing He.
Dao Ming Si (quiet voice): “The motive for so urgently trying to find me is all for San Cai.”
Qing He nods his head.
Dao Ming Si: “It was all just to tell me about this past.”
Qing He: “Right. Don’t you know how much you love San Cai in the past? Don’t you know how miserable San Cai is now?”
Dao Ming Si remembers Dao Ming Feng’s words: “But then later I found out that her motive is not so simple. She’s been constantly trying to find a chance to intervene between your and Ye Sha’s relationship. She knows how to hold onto a chance, using her own innocence and the responsibility of the car accident, and pushes it all onto Ye Sha. Made Ye Sha sink between guilt stricken and holding herself responsible. The whole motive is to make Ye Sha return you to her.”
Then Dao Ming Si remembers when Ye Sha was asking him to record that ring tone and when he heard the ring tone on San Cai’s phone after having lunch with her.
Qing He: “Dao Ming Si, you don’t have to worry. Just as long as you accept my help, then you will regain your memory very quickly. Remember everything very quickly. Dao Ming Si only loves San Cai. Dao Ming Si only loves San Cai! Dao Ming Si only loves San Cai! (hitting his fist against the table with each word) DAO MING SI ONLY LOVES SAN CAI! Dao Ming Si, do you understand?”
Dao Ming Si (shouts loudly): “THAT’S ENOUGH!”
Qing He backs up in surprise at the out burst from Dao Ming Si.
Dao Ming Si: “Even if I regain my memories, I won’t love San Cai.”
He gets up angrily and his chair scrapes back very loudly.
Qing He (gets up and calls after Dao Ming Si’s back): “Dao Ming Si!”
Dao Ming Si just continues walking without looking back or answering.
Qing He (sits back down in his seat): “He said that he won’t like San Cai – what does that mean?”
Mimi: “Reporting to Qing He Senior. I think that Dao Ming Si Senior must be saying angry words. So, to be exact, he, seems to be mad.”
Qing He: “Mad? I was working so hard to do this, why is he mad? How can Dao Ming Si waste my whole day and whole night’s troubles?”
The waitress brings over Dao Ming Si’s coconut juice and leaves it on the table.
Mimi: “Reporting to Senior. Your troubles would definitely not be a waste. Even if Dao Ming Si Senior doesn’t understand, San Cai Senior also doesn’t understand, (Qing He reaches across the table for the coconut juice.) but at least there is still me. (Qing He starts to use the straw to drink and then giving up on the straw, he starts drinking straight out of the glass itself.) I completely understand Qing He Senior’s hard work. So, Senior, you must persevere with your efforts.”
Qing He (finishes gulping down the whole glass of coconut juice and puts the empty glass back on the table): “What’s the use of only you understanding me? Mimi, then what should I do?”
Mimi: “Senior don’t have to worry. We can immediately start Plan B.”
Qing He (surprise): “There’s still a Plan B?”
Mimi nods her head.
Qing He (happy): “Mimi! You have so many plans?”
Outside the coffee shop, Dao Ming Si’s driver drives up with the car and Dao Ming Si gets in. As he sits in the car staring out the window, an image of himself running around Barcelona, the time when he and San Cai got separated, appears in his mind. The car stops in front of a hospital and Dao Ming Si gets off to go inside. When he finishes seeing the doctor, he comes out of the hospital and walks around in the streets by himself. As he walks around, the words that the doctor said to him is repeating in his mind.
Doctor: “Based on your condition now, it could be that the blood clot inside your head is starting to disappear. That means, your memory would be starting to come back with the disappearance of the blood clot. Even though saying congratulations is still a bit early, (Dao Ming Si is walking down the road of Ying De University.) a detailed explanation, would have to wait until the report comes out before we make a conclusion. But I still have to congratulate you in regaining your memories.”
Dao Ming Si walks through Ying De and goes to the staircase where he was roughly trying to kiss San Cai in Meteor Garden. Then he goes up to the rooftop and sits on the ledge looking out at the scenery. Finally he goes to the locker area and stood staring at the lockers.
That night, outside of Dao Ming mansion, Sha Ge and Ye Sha are looking at the stars with a telescope.
Ye Sha (looking up from the telescope): “I found it! I found it!”
She waves Sha Ge over to look at through the telescope.
Ye Sha (shouting up at the sky): “Brave Ye Sha! How are you?”
Sha Ge (answering for the star): “I’m very good. How are you?”
Ye Sha (giggling): “I’m not too good. I want to go traveling!”
At this moment, Dao Ming Si stands near the door and hears her.
Dao Ming Si: “Then we’ll go travel.”
Sha Ge and Ye Sha turns to look at him in surprise.
Ye Sha: “You’re back?”
Dao Ming Si walks over to stand between Ye Sha and Sha Ge.
Dao Ming Si (looking at Ye Sha): “We’ll leave tomorrow. Or now? (He roughly grabs Ye Sha’s arm and replies without waiting for an answer.) Fine. Let’s go. We’ll head off…”
Ye Sha (cries out in pain): “Ow! What are you doing?”
Sha Ge: “Ah Sing!”
Dao Ming Si (holdling onto Ye Sha’s right wrist): “Don’t you want to go travel? Then why are we still staying here for?!”
Ye Sha: “I do want to go traveling but now it’s not the right time.”
Dao Ming Si: “Why is it not the right time?”
Ye Sha: “Because you still haven’t regained your memories yet.”
Dao Ming Si (loudly): “What’s that suppose to mean?!”
Sha Ge: “Ye Sha’s meaning is that what if you guys are traveling and then the after effects of your car accident suddenly comes…”
Dao Ming Si (loudly interrupting): “You don’t have to worry about that! (looks at Ye Sha) I will overcome it myself. Anyway, I have already decided, we will go traveling tomorrow.”
Ye Sha: “What’s the rush?”
Dao Ming Si doesn’t say anything, just looks at Ye Sha exasperatedly and takes a deep breath.
Sha Ge: “Ah Sing, your feelings right now seems to be like you are trying to run away from something. Like…”
Dao Ming Si: “What am I running away for? I just don’t want anyone to be disturbing me and Ye Sha. (pause, using a soft tone toward Ye Sha again) Anyway, I just want us to happily go traveling. I guarantee that we will become even better. (He grabs onto her other arm with his other hand.) Is that good?”
Ye Sha: “Fine. We’ll go traveling. After you see the gift that I have to give you, then we’ll go traveling.”
Dao Ming Si: “Gift?”
Ye Sha nods her head and pulls him along: “Come with me.”
In Ye Sha’s room, Dao Ming Si is sitting on the sofa and Ye Sha walks up behind him and hands him a paper bag.
Ye Sha: “This is for you.”
Dao Ming Si (takes the bag from her): “Why are you giving me a gift all of a sudden?”
Ye Sha (standing up straight): “Because I’m happy.”
She walks around and sits down next to him on the sofa.
Dao Ming Si (staring at the bag): “After I see this, you have to go traveling with me – you said it.”
Ye Sha nods her head happily.
Ye Sha: “Right. I said it.”
Dao Ming Si: “I’m looking.”
Ye Sha nods her head again.
Dao Ming Si opens the bag and pulls out a book, the same one that San Cai was looking at in the bookstore. Dao Ming Si stares at the book for a long time with no expression on his face.
Dao Ming Si (quietly): “Why?”
He pulls the whole book out of the bag and drops the bag to the ground.
Ye Sha (smiling): “I think that should be able to help you.”
Dao Ming Si (still staring at the book): “Help? Help what? Help me find back the memories of San Cai? (pause) Why is it that San Cai’s dates are always more important than me?”
Ye Sha stops smiling and looks back and forth from the book to Dao Ming Si’s face.
Dao Ming Si: “Why is it that ever since San Cai appeared, your attitude towards me has changed so totally different? (turns his head to look at Ye Sha) Why? (loudly) Tell me why?!”
Ye Sha: “Because… because it is all my fault. Because, if it wasn’t for me, (Dao Ming Si turns his head away in annoyance.) you and San Cai would not be like the way that you are now.”
Dao Ming Si: “So you want to help me to regain my memories and then return me back to San Cai. (He looks back at her again.) Does that mean I have no meaning to you at all? (Ye Sha doesn’t say anything.) Then what does the engagement mean?”
He gets very angry and throws the book down and shouts, “THEN WHAT DOES THAT MAKE ME?!”
Ye Sha backs away a bit in surprise while Dao Ming Si gets up quickly from the sofa and heads toward the door angrily.
Ye Sha (picking up the book from the floor and gets up): “Ah Sing!”
Dao Ming Si walks toward the door in angry strides while Ye Sha quickly runs after him calling out, “Ah Sing!”
He stops by the door and swivels around to face her.
Dao Ming Si: “You want me to regain my memories… (He roughly snatches the book out of her hands.) Fine! But I’ll tell you very clearly, even if I regain my memories, (he shouts the last part) I WON’T GO BACK TO LOVE SAN CAI!! The more you push me towards her, (He shouts again.) THE MORE I WILL HATE HER!!”
He turns toward the door again, but Ye Sha quickly grabs hold of his left arm and stops him.
Ye Sha: “Ah Sing! You can’t treat San Cai like that!”
Dao Ming Si is very, very angry. He turns around again and roughly grabs her right arm.
Dao Ming Si (shouting): “YA SHA!! (in a soft, hurt voice) I’m begging you… don’t make me hate you too, ok?”
He pushes her away and yanks the door open to get out. The door bangs loudly against the wall and Ye Sha stands there with her arms wrapped around herself, staring down at the floor.
Sha Ge (almost being ran over by the charging Dao Ming Si, looks at Dao Ming Si’s back): “What’s going on, Ah Sing?”
Sha Ge walks over to Ye Sha and looks at her.
Sha Ge: “What happened? Why was there so much noise?”
Ye Sha (looks at Sha Ge before turning away): “This is good. (in a shaky tone) This is good.”
Sha Ge: “What’s so good about that?”
He walks over to the door and looks out for Dao Ming Si, then looks back at Ye Sha.
Later, Ye Sha is sitting on the sofa and drawing a picture of the back of Dao Ming Si. All of a sudden, her right hand starting shaking uncontrollably. She drops the charcoal that she was holding and grabs onto her right hand with her left hand. She starts gasping in pain as she tries to control the shaking of her hand.
Ye Sha (crying): “I would rather you hate me… I would rather…”
As she sat there crying, one lonely tear fell onto the drawing.
Next day, San Cai is the office working. She is talking to someone in the hallway.
San Cai: “Thank you. I understand.”
Then the elevator stops on the floor that she is on with a “ding.” San Cai quickly runs over to the elevator.
San Cai (calls out): “Hold the elevator!”
It just so happens that Dao Ming Si is the one that is in the elevator. He looks up and stares at San Cai with no expression on his face. San Cai seeing that it was Dao Ming Si calls out to him.
San Cai: “Dao Ming Si!”
As she runs over to the elevator, the door closes and Dao Ming Si made no move to keep the door open. San Cai stood there waiting for the elevator and felt a little weird at what just happened. So she runs up to the rooftop and as she stood there, Dao Ming Si walks up behind her.
Dao Ming Si: “In order to bully you, (San Cai turns around in surprise.) I attached your motorcycle to the back of my car and pulled it along. (He stops in front of her.) In order to bully you, I made everyone in Ying De go against you. Who would have ever thought that everything I did would make me fall in love with you.”
San Cai (happy): “You remembered!”
At this moment, Dao Ming Si’s cell phone started ringing. He slowly holds it up, with the face of the phone facing San Cai.
Dao Ming Si: “The one that remembered is not me. It’s your friend Qing He.”
He then hangs up on the call.
Dao Ming Si: “I only want to tell you. I am trying really hard to find my memories now. (pause) But it’s not because of you. (pause) It’s because of Ye Sha. (San Cai silently stares at Dao Ming Si.) It doesn’t matter how many memories we have between us, the one that I love is still Ye Sha. (pause) So, please stop using the friends that are beside you, who cares for you, to force me to go back to your side.”
Dao Ming Si turns around and gets ready to leave.
San Cai: “Dao Ming Si! (speaking to his back) Using friends… You feel that I’m the type of person who would use their friends? (looks away from his back) Today I finally understand that you have really totally forgotten about me. (She bites her lips to try to stop crying.) You really did forget.”
Dao Ming Si: “That’s right. I just want to let you know, those unimportant people, unimportant things, even when I have those memories, I would forget.”
Dao Ming Si walks away without even looking back while San Cai stood there and started crying uncontrollably.
San Cai (speaking to herself while trying to stop crying): “Can’t cry. San Cai you can’t cry! It’s not worth it to cry for this Dao Ming Si. (sobbing) Not worth it…”
She stands there with her head down and continues to cry, heartbrokenly.
Dao Ming Si is back in his office and sitting at his desk and thinking, while San Cai is squatting on her heels on the rooftop and crying with her hands over her face. As Dao Ming Si sits there staring out the window, he sees a balloon floating up. He quickly gets up and walks over to the window. Then he’s back at his desk and stood there with both hands on the desk and his head down. Suddenly, he lashes out and pushes everything on his desk off to the floors and then slams his palm onto the top of the desk in anger. As he looks up, he sees the picture of F4 and San Cai on the floor and he turns his head away in pain. Then his cell phone started ringing but Dao Ming Si doesn’t answer and just sits back down with pain on his face and rests his head on the desk.
Qing He and Mimi is sitting on top of a children’s slide in a park. Qing He is on the cell phone, while Mimi looks at him. Seeing that the other caller isn’t going to pick up, Qing He gives up and slides down the slide. Mimi follows suit and slides down on the other side of the slide.
Mimi (sitting at the bottom of the slide): “What’s wrong? Qing He Senior, was it cut off again?”
Qing He (looks at Mimi): “It seems like I can only find F3 for help.”
Mimi looks at Qing He and nods her head.
Qing He, Mimi and Xi Men are sitting at a coffee shop. Xi Men is drinking a cup of coffee and Qing He and Mimi is just sitting there staring at him.
Qing He: “After the Valentine’s Day event last time, I believe that Xi Men, you should be very clear that once I, Qing He, takes action, then everything is going to be ok. You say am I right or not? So…”
Xi Men (interrupting): “Qing He. Get to the main point.”
Qing He: “My main point is that, help me arrange for Dao Ming Si to come out.”
Xi Men: “Didn’t Ah Si recognize you at first glance? If you want to meet up with him, then why don’t you arrange it yourself?”
Qing He (slowly speaking): “But… because… (finally gives up) Mimi, you say it.”
Mimi: “Orh. (turns to Xi Men) Reporting to a very handsome, very cool, very powerful looking Xi Men Senior, it’s all like this. Because Qing He Senior found out that he is Dao Ming Si Senior’s ‘memory key.’ So for San Cai Senior’s happiness, he decided to help Dao Ming Si Senior to regain his memories. Therefore, he arranges to meet with Dao Ming Si Senior, with my help and a very detailed report of his and San Cai Senior’s touching love story. But don’t know for what reason, Dao Ming Si Senior left very unhappily. And from then on, he stopped answering Qing He Senior’s phone calls. End of reporting.”
Xi Men (amused at Mimi): “Qing He, even though you constantly get yourself into these strange matters… but I really can’t help you with this matter.”
Qing He: “HUH?! Can’t help? How can you be like this? (pause) Aren’t you guys F4? (pause) Isn’t Dao Ming Si your friend? (pause) Don’t you want to help your friend to regain his memories?”
Xi Men: “It’s because Ah Si is our friend, no matter what he changes to, he will still be our friend. (pause) I know that what you are doing is out of good intentions, but I still have to reminder you that the things that you are doing to Ah Si, could in fact ruin this very uneasily, new relationship that has built up between him and San Cai.”
Qing He: “What does that mean?”
Xi Men (picking up his cup of coffee): “It means that you should stop this fantasy thinking plan of yours.”
Qing He: “Then what would happen to San Cai? (pause) Did you guys ever help San Cai think? Are you guys just going to watch Dao Ming Si and this whatever Budan Princess get married?”
Xi Men: “Of course, I don’t want to see San Cai unhappy. But feelings are not something that you can force. I believe you should be very clear about this point.”
Qing He: “So, what you are saying is that… I like San Cai, but San Cai… (pauses) But that’s not right. Because… Because…”
Mimi (finishes Qing He’s sentence): “Because the one that he loves originally is San Cai Senior.”
Qing He: “Right!”
Xi Men: “That is all in the past. (pause) The one that Ah Si likes now is Ye Sha. Regretfully, but that is the truth. (Xi Men picks up his backpack.) I still have something to do. I’m leaving first.”
He gets up and walks away from the table.
Qing He (calls out to Xi Men’s back): “Xi Men. Hey!”
Qing He gets up and runs after Xi Men and stops him.
Qing He: “Xi Men. You can’t be like this. Lei and Mei Zuo is not helping me. San Cai only has you left as a chance, Xi Men.”
Xi Men nods his head, pats Qing He on the arm and walks away without saying anything. Mimi runs over to Qing He from the table.
Qing He (speaking after Xi Men’s back): “Fine. Don’t help then don’t help. (crosses his arm) Who doesn’t know that you guys are jealous that Dao Ming Si remembers me! (points to his chest with each word) Remembers me, Qing He! (crosses his arms again and smirks) F3 doesn’t have any loyalty. F3 doesn’t have any boldness. F3… (shouts loudly) IS VERY DETESTABLE!”
Mimi jumps back a little in surprise.
Mimi: “Senior is so right! I use to think that they were handsome, cool and powerful looking. Later I discover that what my dad said was right. A man without loyalty, even if he is very handsome and very cool, is of no use.”
Qing He (puffs up his chest): “That’s exactly right!”
Mimi: “Only Qing He Senior is a real true man among all the men.”
Qing He nods his head.
Qing He (dejected voice): “Mimi, but what are we suppose to do now? Dao Ming Si is not answering my phone. F3 is not going to help us. (pause) Then how are we going to start this Plan B?”
Mimi (thinks and then smiles): “Senior, there is a very good saying. The people that can solve the problem are the people that know the problem.”
Qing He: “What does that mean?”
Mimi: “What I mean is that someone put up a bell somewhere. At night when it’s so noisy that everyone can’t sleep, then the people will be anxious to take the bell down. But…”
Qing He (interrupting her): “Mimi. (pause) Get to the main point.”
Mimi: “Reporting to Senior. My main point is that why don’t we go and find this Budan Princess directly for help?”
Qing He: “Budan Princess… (pause, thinking) Right! Why didn’t I think of that?”
That night, Ye Sha is walking outside in the yard of Dao Ming Mansion. As she is walking back and forth in the yard, she is replaying the words that Qing He said to her on the phone.
Qing He’s message: “I am Qing He. I am Dao Ming Si’s very, very good buddy. So, since our relationship is so good and tomorrow is a vacation day, I and you guys and San Cai can go swimming together. How about it?”
Ye Sha continues walking and remembers the words that Dao Ming Si said to her: “Even if I regain my memories, I WON’T GO BACK TO LOVE SAN CAI!! The more you push me towards her, THE MORE I WILL HATE HER!! YA SHA!! I’m begging you… don’t make me hate you too, ok?”
Suddenly she stops walking and looks up in the sky, eyes searching around and seeing only a totally dark sky. Then she turns around and walks back into the house.
Dao Ming Si is sitting on the sofa in his room and thinking. He looks up when he hears a knock on the door. Ye Sha is standing outside his door and waiting for him to open the door. Dao Ming Si slowly cracks the door open and sees Ye Sha standing there. He opens the door wider and comes out to lean against the side of the wall next to the door. Ye Sha leans against the post that is outside his room and leaning there next to him without saying anything. After more silence, she finally starts talking.
Ye Sha: “Why won’t you say anything?”
Dao Ming Si: “Aren’t you the one that is looking for me?”
Ye Sha: “But if you don’t say anything first, then how am I suppose to know if you are still mad. If you don’t care about me anymore.”
Dao Ming Si turns toward the wall and sighs loudly. Then he looks over at her.
Ye Sha (shaking at his arm): “Ah Si.”
No answer as Dao Ming Si’s face is turned toward the wall.
Ye Sha (resting her head on his left shoulder): “Ah Sing.”
Dao Ming Si (pushes her to stand straight): “Then you have to first promise me that you would not do such stupid things in the future again, ok?”
Ye Sha (smiling): “Then you have to first promise me to go swimming with San Cai tomorrow. (Dao Ming Si opens his mouth and wants to say something.) And then we all make up.”
Dao Ming Si (loudly): “EH! You are such a bully! You have so many requests! (pause) Why is there such a fiancé like you?”
Ye Sha (smiles): “If you don’t agree, then forget about it. Then we can just cancel the engagement.”
Dao Ming Si is angry again and raises his hand as if he is going to slap her.
Dao Ming Si: “You…”
Ye Sha stares at his raised hand in surprise. Then looks from his face to his hand and back again.
Dao Ming Si (hand still raised): “Tell me that you are just joking.”
Ye Sha (in a small voice): “It is only that.”
Dao Ming Si (lowers his hand and yells): “THEN DON’T MAKE THESE KIND OF JOKES!”
Ye Sha (quietly): “Didn’t I just say don’t talk so loud?”
Dao Ming Si (still yelling): “THEN YOU STOP THIS KIND OF JOKING!”
He turns away to the side and tries to control his temper.
Ye Sha: “What is wrong with you? Isn’t your temper always good? (putting her hand on his arm and gently shakes it again.) Why is it that you like throwing tempers recently?”
Dao Ming Si: “All because you forced it.”
Ye Sha points to herself and with no sounds coming out but moving her mouth, “Me?” Dao Ming Si doesn’t see this cause his face is turned to the side.
Ye Sha: “What? You said I was a bully. Aren’t you even more of a bully? (shaking his arm and speaking with a soft voice) Throwing a temper at me and still saying I’m wrong. Crazy.”
Dao Ming Si looks at her and then sighs while Ye Sha puts her head on his shoulder again.
Ye Sha: “Don’t be like this.”
Dao Ming Si takes his arm out of his pocket and wraps one arm around her waist. Then he turns so that his back is leaning against the wall and he pulled Ye Sha to him and wraps both arms around her, sighing really loudly.
Ye Sha (raises her head from his shoulder): “Going tomorrow?”
Dao Ming Si: “Go where?”
Ye Sha: “Go swimming.”
Dao Ming Si: “Swimming with who?”
Ye Sha: “San Cai.”
Dao Ming Si (his head to the side): “Why go swimming with her?”
Ye Sha (whines and rest her head on his shoulder again): “Ehhh... go...”
Dao Ming Si (pushing her to stand straight): “You are always...”
Dao Ming Si looks at Ye Sha’s smiling face and didn’t finish his sentence.
Dao Ming Si (a bit irritated): “Ah... whatever.”
Dao Ming Si looks to the side with a very unwilling expression on his face while Ye Sha stands there smiling happily.
Summary of MG2 Episode 24:
San Cai leaves her home with her backpack and meets Qing He and Mimi outside.
Qing He (calling out): “San Cai!”
Mimi: “San Cai Senior!”
Qing He: “I’ll help you carry your bag.”
San Cai: “That’s ok. Thank you.”
Qing He (trying to take San Cai’s bag): “No problem. No problem. I’ll help you.”
San Cai (pushing his hand away lightly): “It’s ok, Qing He. Why did you plan this so suddenly? I couldn’t even remember where I put last year’s swimsuit. So I can only borrow my mom’s.”
Mimi: “San Cai Senior, you didn’t go swimming all summer long?”
San Cai nods her head.
Qing He: “Nonsense. She’s been looking for Dao Ming Si’s memories all summer long. Where’s the time for swimming?”
San Cai (forcing a smile): “Right. Summer is almost over. So we have to make full use of the end of this summer.”
Mimi nods her head in agreement.
Qing He: “Right. Today, we have to make up for this year’s summer!”
Mimi and San Cai both smile at him.
Qing He: “Let’s go!”
Ye Sha and Dao Ming Si are standing outside of the pool area and waiting.
Ye Sha (after giving a big stretch): “Why isn’t San Cai here yet?”
Dao Ming Si (quietly): “If I was her, then I wouldn’t come.”
Ye Sha (looks over at him): “Why?”
Dao Ming Si looks away and shrugs his shoulders.
Ye Sha (tugs at his sleeve): “I’m asking you again, why?”
At this moment, San Cai, Mimi and Qing He shows up.
Qing He (calling out): “Dao Ming Si!”
Qing He runs over with Mimi running behind and they both stop in front of Ye Sha and Dao Ming Si.
Dao Ming Si: “Ba fa hu de er zi, what are you doing here?”
Ye Sha (speaking to Dao Ming Si): “Everybody is friends, so why can’t we all come out and have fun?”
San Cai slowly walks over and stands next to Qing He, nodding at Ye Sha slightly.
Ye Sha sees San Cai and waves at her, smiling. Ye Sha then nudge Dao Ming Si and tilt her head toward San Cai.
Dao Ming Si (hesitantly, without looking directly at San Cai): “Hi… San Cai.”
San Cai (equally hesitant replies): “Hi.”
Qing He (waving and smiling): “Hi Dao Ming Si!”
Mimi: “Hi Senior!”
Qing He (to Ye Sha): “Hi, Ye Sha Princess.”
Mimi: “Hi, Ye Sha Princess.”
Ye Sha (smiling widely): “Hi!”
Dao Ming Si (irritated): “Are we done with Hi-ing?”
Everybody looks on and there was an awkward silence for a few seconds.
Dao Ming Si: “I’m going in first.”
He turns and starts walking away. Ye Sha and San Cai walking next to each other, slowly follows with Qing He and Mimi walking behind them.
Ye Sha (walking next to San Cai): “He’s like that when there’s a lot of people.”
San Cai: “I know.”
Ye Sha: “Right. You do know. (pause) Then be a little happier.”
San Cai smiles at her and nods her head.
Qing He (smiling secretively to Mimi): “And now it’s all up to us.”
Mimi (smiling back): “Yes, Qing He Senior.”
In the indoor pool, Dao Ming Si wears a white bathrobe, sitting by the pool, with both legs in the water. Mimi and Qing He, with a towel wrapped around his shoulders, walks up to the sitting Dao Ming Si.
Qing He (kneeling down beside Dao Ming Si): “Dao Ming Si. How about it? Haven’t hang out with you for a long time. (smiling) Do you have any special feelings?”
Dao Ming Si smiles and doesn’t answer.
Qing He: “Feels very familiar, right? Very familiar, right?! (no answer) Do you know there’s a story with I and you and this swimming pool?”
He thinks very hard before talking again.
Qing He: “First, you have to imagine this scene. There is this luxurious cruise. Inside there is us, F5 and San Cai and also other Ying De classmates. Everyday we dance, eat seafood. Oh, it was so much fun! (Dao Ming Si, with a bored expression on his face, turns to the side.) Until there is this one night…”
Dao Ming Si (stands up angrily): “Have you said enough?”
Qing He (excited): “Are you mad? (He quickly stands up also.) If you are mad then that’s right! You could kick me into the water. (Dao Ming Si looks away annoyed.) Hurry up, hurry up!”
Dao Ming Si: “Are you this irritating in the past also?”
Qing He: “Right, right, right. Hurry up and kick me into the water! Please!”
Dao Ming Si decided that he has had enough, so he takes off his robe, throwing it to the side and jumps into the pool.
Qing He (calling after Dao Ming Si): “Dao Ming Si! Wait a minute, I’ll race you! (He throws his towel at Mimi.) The loser is a dog!”
Then he jumps into the pool and swims after Dao Ming Si.
Mimi (taking the towel off her face, cheers on excitedly): “Qing He Senior, jia you! Jia you!”
In another area, San Cai is sitting in a chair with a glass of water in the table in front of her and staring off into space. Ye Sha walks over with two Pepsi’s in her hand and sits down next to San Cai.
San Cai (breaking out of her stupor, smiles at Ye Sha): “Why aren’t you going to swim?”
Ye Sha (smiling back): “Why are you not going to swim?”
San Cai (with a sheepish smile): “I actually don’t know how to swim. (looking out the window) The scenery over here is very good, so I came out and rest a bit.”
Ye Sha (nods her head in agreement, and opens a can of Pepsi): “Right. Me too.”
San Cai grows silent again and goes back to staring out the window.
Ye Sha: “What happened between you and Ah Si?”
San Cai (looks back and smiles lightly): “Nothing.”
Ye Sha smiles and takes a sip of her soda.
San Cai (reaching into her pocket and brings out Ye Sha’s cell phone): “Here’s your cell phone.”
Ye Sha (stares at the cell phone on the table): “Did it bring you trouble?”
San Cai (shakes her head): “No. Actually it is myself. I have decided to give up.”
Ye Sha (looks up in surprise): “San Cai.”
San Cai looks down and out the window again without answering.
Back by the swimming pool, Mimi is jumping along the side of the pool and cheering as Qing He swims toward the other end of the pool. Dao Ming Si was swimming along the surface just fine when he suddenly starts diving deep into the pool. As he was deep underneath the surface of the pool, he noticed something glittering at the bottom of the floor of the pool. Therefore, he swims toward it with his left hand outstretched. As he reaches his hand out to pick up the shimmering coin, an image of when he was reaching out his hand to look for the fallen meteor ring in the car floated through his head. He stops diving toward the coin and brings back his outstretched hand while his right hand reaches for his head. Then the image of the car flipping over onto its back and sliding toward the lamp post on the street floated into his head. Dao Ming Si’s face is filled with pain once again and he holds onto his head with both of his hands, while he turns around in the water. Due to the pain, he suddenly loses conscious in the water and starts floating to the surface.
Meanwhile, Qing He has already swum to the other end of the pool. He had dragged himself out of the water and lay face down on the tile and panting out of breath. Mimi quickly takes the towel from around her neck and runs toward Qing He with it.
Mimi (placing the towel on Qing He): “Qing He Senior! Qing He Senior!”
Qing He (gasping for breath): “I can’t… (panting) You don’t have to tell me. I let Dao Ming Si won again.”
Mimi: “No, Qing He Senior! You are the first one back and won this race.”
Qing He (surprised): “HUH?! I won? How can that be? (He pushes himself to a sitting position.) YA! Chan Qing He won! Dao Ming Si finally lost! YA!”
Mimi (massaging Qing He’s shoulders): “Qing He Senior is so great!”
Qing He: “Mimi, but you don’t have to so blindly worship me. Even though I know that my swimming skills are very good, but it’s all because Dao Ming Si’s strength is too inferior. (looks at Mimi) Where’s Dao Ming Si?”
Mimi: “Eh? Where’s Dao Ming Si Senior?”
She looks around then stares out in the water and sees a shadow floating.
Mimi (cries out in alarm): “AH!!! It looks like Dao Ming Si Senior is drowning! Help! Help!”
She quickly stands up and in the process shoves Qing He back into the pool. Then Mimi ran out of the pool area, all the while shouting, “HELP! HELP!”
Back in the area where San Cai and Ye Sha are, San Cai is standing by the window and staring out while Ye Sha is sitting at the table.
San Cai (turning from the window to look at Ye Sha): “I even go as far as to think that Dao Ming Si could have regained his memories already. But he discovered that the one that he loves is still you, so he would rather that he didn’t have this past. If that is really the case, then my insistent to him would be too selfish, no? (pause) Therefore, I should give up.”
Ye Sha: “You can’t give up! (She gets up and walks over to San Cai.) Someone who gives up so easily is not San Cai.”
San Cai (quietly): “Ye Sha. I’m very tired. Have no more strength.”
Ye Sha (puts a hand on San Cai’s arm): “Hang in there for a little bit more. If you don’t stay by his side, then when I leave…”
Mimi frantically runs in and shouts, “Help! Help!”
She runs over to San Cai and Ye Sha out of breath.
Mimi (panting): “Dao Ming Si Senior, (she starts pointing toward the pool area) he… he…”
She couldn’t get the words out and just kept pointing and then they all ran out back to the pool area.
Ye Sha ran ahead with San Cai and Mimi following behind. When Ye Sha saw Dao Ming Si in the water, she cried out his name: “Ah Sing!”
San Cai (seeing the figure in the pool): “Dao Ming Si!”
Ye Sha takes off her jacket and jumps into the pool. She swam toward where Dao Ming Si is unconscious and faced down in the water. When she got to him, she grabbed hold of his hand and started pulling him back toward the side of the pool while San Cai and Mimi could only stand there and watch on anxiously.
Once Ye Sha got Dao Ming Si out of the water, she started CPR on him.
Mimi (on the side, looks at Qing He anxiously): “Qing He Senior, is Dao Ming Si Senior going to die?”
Ye Sha (pumping Dao Ming Si’s chest, crying and shouts at Mimi harshly): “Don’t be talking any nonsense! (Mimi jumps a little in surprise at the outburst from her and Ye Sha goes back to trying to revive Dao Ming Si.) Ah Sing, wake up! I don’t like to see you like this! Ah Sing!”
San Cai is anxiously kneeling down next to Ye Sha, looking on at Dao Ming Si with an expression like she is going to start crying. As she looks on at Ye Sha, so frantically trying to save Dao Ming Si, San Cai seems to notice something from Ye Sha’s actions. At this moment, Dao Ming Si wakes up and starts coughing up water.
San Cai: “Dao Ming Si!”
Qing He: “Dao Ming Si!”
Ye Sha: “Ah Sing!”
Dao Ming Si gasps for breath and opens up his eyes for a brief moment.
Ye Sha: “Ah Sing!”
Mimi (quietly): “Dao Ming Si Senior.”
Then Dao Ming Si loses consciousness again.
Qing He / Mimi (loudly): “Dao Ming Si! / Dao Ming Si Senior!”
Ye Sha: “Ah Sing!”
The next sounds that are heard are the noise that the ambulance vehicles make.
Sitting with both her feet up on the chair and her arms wrapped around her legs, Ye Sha is waiting outside of the Operation Room area. San Cai walks over and hands her a cup of water. Ye Sha takes it and quickly takes a sip. San Cai sits down next to Ye Sha and puts an arm around her, trying to give her some comfort.
Ye Sha: “Life is so fragile. Ah Sing is also so fragile. (pause) It doesn’t have to be that I leave. Maybe he will be the one to leave first. (pause) Life can be lost with a blink of an eye. And Ah Sing can also be gone in a blink of an eye.”
San Cai: “That won’t be the case. Do you know? Dao Ming Si’s health is very mysterious. His recovery ability is the same as a little dog’s. (smiling) When I said that he was like a little dog in the past, I made F3 laugh so hard. (Ye Sha slowly lay her head on San Cai’s shoulder.) I also made Dao Ming Si so mad. (pause) But he really is like a little dog. He will get better very soon, so you don’t have to worry. We can only concentrate on praying for him.”
Ye Sha raises her head slowly from San Cai’s shoulder and then hands San Cai her cup. Then she gets off the chair and kneels down on the floor facing the chair.
Ye Sha (looking at San Cai): “Let’s both pray together.”
San Cai nods her head, puts the cup on the chair next to her and kneels down on the floor also.
Ye Sha (closing her eyes, with her hands clasped together): “God, (San Cai slowly looks over at Ye Sha.) please give me another chance. And also give Ah Sing another chance.”
While they were both on their knees praying, Dao Ming Feng walks up to them.
Dao Ming Feng (looking at San Cai and Ye Sha’s back): “Where’s Ah Si?”
San Cai turns around and gets up on her feet. Ye Sha slowly gets up and San Cai and Dao Ming Feng reaches out a hand to help her.
Ye Sha: “He’s still getting emergency aid.”
Dao Ming Feng turns to stare at San Cai and San Cai quickly lowers her head to look at the floor.
Dao Ming Feng (with hatred in her eyes): “Is it all your idea? How many times do you have to hurt Ah Si before you are satisfied?”
Qing He (walking up to where they are all standing): “It was my idea. (arms crossed) Not San Cai’s idea. Can you please stop blaming her?”
Dao Ming Feng (turns around to look at Qing He): “Each and every time, you guys get together and pressure Ah Si. (turns back to San Cai, raising her voice) Can you guys not see that he has been through enough?! (staring straight at San Cai) Dong San Cai! (turns her face to the side) Chan Qing He! (looks back at San Cai) If anything happens to Ah Si… I will let you both know the consequences!”
At this moment, the light in the operation room goes off and the doctor comes out. Dao Ming Feng turns and walks up to the doctor.
Dao Ming Feng: “Doctor.”
Doctor: “There is no more danger to his life. But he is still in a state of unconsciousness.”
Later, Dao Ming Feng walks out of a room with a doctor and they continued to walk while the doctor updates Dao Ming Feng on Dao Ming Si’s condition.
Doctor: “The blood clot in your son’s head is confirmed that it is gradually disappearing. But the sudden critical shock this time, the impact that it will have on his recovering his memories, whether it will assist him or obstruct him, we’ll have the answer after he wakes up.”
Dao Ming Feng (stops walking): “Thank you.”
Doctor: “You’re welcome.”
The doctor walks away and Dao Ming Feng slowly continues to walk down the hall.
Dao Ming Feng (thinking to herself): “It doesn’t matter who he has in his memory… in the future of his life, there can only exist a Ye Sha.”
Back in Dao Ming Si’s patient room, Ye Sha is helping him to cover his blanket.
Ye Sha (looking down at the unconscious Dao Ming Si, thinks in her head): “Ah Sing. Hurry up and wake up, ok? I really have something very important to tell you.”
After staring at Dao Ming Si for a few more seconds, she turns and walks out of the room. As she silently closes the door and turns around, she jumps in surprise as she sees Dao Ming Feng standing quietly right behind her.
Dao Ming Feng: “Why won’t you tell the truth all this time?”
Ye Sha: “What does that mean?”
Dao Ming Feng: “You love Ah Si! (Ye Sha turns her head away from Dao Ming Feng’s stare.) You really love him, but why do you pretend that you don’t love? (pause) Because of San Cai? (Ye Sha looks up at her.) I used to feel that it was not fair to San Cai but… forcing Ah Si to return to San Cai’s side… is that being fair to Ah Si? To love bravely is not called selfish. Pushing back and forth is called foolish! You guys are still young. In front of your eyes, there is still a whole future ahead. (pause) Would rather sacrifice… betraying one self’s own idea. You think that this is the greatest love of all?! (pause) Now, you should understand that tomorrow might not always come. (pause) But if you don’t say it out today, then tomorrow can become a regret. (pause) Ye Sha, (She turns to look at Dao Ming Feng and sees the unshed tears that are shimmering in Dao Ming Feng’s eyes.) I only have this one son. Don’t torture him anymore. (pause) I’m begging you… please cherish him. (pause, trying to regain her composure) Think it over carefully.”
After saying all this, Dao Ming Feng slowly walks away and Ye Sha just stood there looking at her back.
Under the warm sunlight peaking through from the curtains, Dao Ming Si slowly wakes up. Opening his eyes, he looks at the window with the sunlight streaming through. As the glare is too strong, he closes his eyes again and turns his head slightly away. Slowly opening his eyes again, Dao Ming Si’s memories starts pouring back: The old warehouse where all the guys were beating him up with San Cai calling out for them to stop on the side… in Dao Ming Si’s room after being bullied by Ying De’s students and saved by Dao Ming Si, where he told he that he likes her, really likes her and then kissed her on his bed… the dark pouring, rainy night, when San Cai left Dao Ming mansion and Dao Ming Si asks if she had ever loved him, where her reply was “Actually, I have never loved you. If I really loved you, then I wouldn’t be leaving like this now”… the time when he went to the pastry shop with the basketball looking for Ye Sha and met up with San Cai for the first time after his accident… the scene where, after getting separated with San Cai in Barcelona, he finally found her and his crying out her name when he sees her… the time when he was chasing the bus that San Cai was on… the night when San Cai was forced out of her house by her landlord and Dao Ming Si finally found her back at the place where he originally slapped her. As he remembers, San Cai’s name being called out over and over in his head, he slowly stretches out his right hand to touch the figure that looks like San Cai that is sleeping beside his bed. As his hand stretches out to touch San Cai’s head, the image of San Cai turns into Ye Sha’s face instead.
Ye Sha (waking up): “Ah Sing! You’re awake!”
Dao Ming Si stares at her and blinks his eyes a couple of times. Just then there was a knock on the door and San Cai opens up the door.
Ye Sha (calling out happily): “San Cai! Ah Sing has woke up!”
San Cai looks over at Dao Ming Si with a very happy smile on her face while Dao Ming Si just stares at her in shock.
San Cai (smiling): “Congratulations Dao Ming Si!”
Seeing San Cai’s face, Dao Ming Si brings up his hand and covers his eyes.
Ye Sha: “Do you want to drink some water? Or eat anything? Or…”
Dao Ming Si (with pain on his face): “No, no… I don’t want anything. Can you two please go out and let me rest a bit, ok?”
He closes his eyes and uses his hand to hide his face. Ye Sha looks over at San Cai and San Cai smiles lightly. Ye Sha slowly gets up from her seat and walks over to San Cai. Dao Ming Si turns over to his side, hiding from Ye Sha and San Cai. After they left the room, Dao Ming Si slowly takes his hand away and looks on with confusion written all over his face.
Ye Sha and San Cai comes out of Dao Ming Si’s room and Ye Sha slowly closes the door.
Ye Sha (facing San Cai): “San Cai, there’s something I want to say to you.”
San Cai: “Say it.”
Ye Sha (hesitating): “Um, let’s talk some other time.”
San Cai (nods her head): “Ok. It’s been a tiring day. Your face looks very pale. Since Dao Ming Si is awake now, (reaches out a hand to hold onto Ye Sha’s wrist) you go home and get some rest.”
Ye Sha (resting her head on San Cai’s shoulder): “There’s no need.”
San Cai: “Anyway, they are coming over, so don’t worry. Ok… go rest a bit then come back. Anyway, Dao Ming Si also needs to rest.”
Ye Sha (standing up straight): “Ok, then. I’ll leave first.”
San Cai: “Don’t worry.”
Ye Sha: “I’ll be back soon.”
San Cai: “See you later.”
Ye Sha waves at San Cai and walks away. After Ye Sha leaves, San Cai turns to look at Dao Ming Si’s door and slowly walks over to stand in front of the door. As she stood there, her hand slowly reaches out and she places it on the door knob. Inside the room, Dao Ming Si is sitting up on the bed and staring at the door. He slowly gets up and walks over to stand in front of the door. Outside the room, San Cai lets go of the door knob and stood there staring at the door.
Mei Zuo (quietly, from behind): “Fell asleep?”
San Cai turns around quickly in surprise to find F3 standing right behind her.
San Cai: “Why didn’t you guys say anything? (holds a hand up to her heart) Gave me such a fright!”
Mei Zuo (quietly): “You’re still blaming us? We’ve been standing here for half a day. You, silly, didn’t even move an inch.”
Xi Men: “Ye Sha said that Ah Si is awake.”
San Cai: “You guys saw Ye Sha?”
Xi Men: “Just met her in front of the elevators.”
San Cai: “The doctor said that once he wakes up, then he’s ok. But he is still resting now. And said that he wants to be alone.”
Mei Zuo: “This buddy! After such a short time, with one incident after another, he’s doing all these things to make us worry. And now he wants to be left alone?”
Xi Men: “There’s no other way. Being sick is the biggest deal. It seems like we can only stand here and wait for Dao Ming Si Master’s beck. (turns to Mei Zuo) Mei Zuo, let’s go to some nearby place and buy some fruits first.”
Mei Zuo: “Fine. Then Lei, we’ll leave Dao Ming Si Master for you.”
Lei nods his head.
Xi Men (waves at San Cai): “See you later. Bye bye.”
San Cai waves back and Xi Men and Mei Zuo walks away.
After they left, Lei accompanies San Cai around the corner of the hall to find a place to sit. San Cai sits down and with a big sigh of breath. Lei touches her head before sitting on the bench.
Lei: “What’s wrong? (pause) Qing He got in contact with us. He seems to be blaming himself. (pause) This is the first time that I’ve heard him say something this clearly.”
San Cai: “It’s a good thing that he’s awake.”
Lei: “With Ah Si’s swimming skills, why would he have drowned?”
San Cai: “It could be that he has not been in a good mood these past couple of days.”
Lei: “Why?”
San Cai: “I don’t know. He seems to be… (pause) Forget it. Ye Sha is beside him, so he’ll be better very soon.”
She rubs her neck with a very tired look.
San Cai: “I really want to go on a vacation.”
Lei (looks at her, smiling): “Hard working San Cai would also want to go on a vacation?”
San Cai (smiling): “Summer is almost over. The beach… will soon become very lonely.”
She leans back to the wall and sighs deeply. Lei looks over at San Cai’s sad and tired face.
Lei: “Wait for me.”
He gets up and walks over to the nurse by the desk. San Cai turns to look at him and then leans back and stares off again. Lei comes back and sits down with a paper and pen.
Lei: “Hey, what kind of sea would you want?”
San Cai (sees the paper and pen and smiles): “I want… wave after waves… very slow… very gentle... that kind of a sea.”
Lei (drawing on the paper): “What about the sun?”
San Cai (thinking with a big smile on her face): “Sun… it would be best if it’s the sun at sunset.”
Lei (finishes drawing the sun): “Done.”
He holds the paper up for San Cai to see and San Cai smiles happily at it.
San Cai: “Sign your name.”
Lei: “Orh.”
He signs his name with San Cai looking on with a smile on her face. Then he hands the paper back to San Cai and San Cai takes it with a wide smile.
San Cai: “Thank you.”
She holds it at arms length and continues looking at it and smiling.
Lei: “Then can I ask you something?”
San Cai puts down the drawing and looks over at Lei with a serious look.
Lei: “Can you go with me to eat something?”
San Cai smiles and nods her head and they both get up and walk away.
Back at Dao Ming mansion, Ye Sha is in her room on her bed. Sha Ge is there with Ye Sha and has his arms wrapped around her, comforting her.
Ye Sha (with her head on his shoulder): “Ah Si was almost gone… almost… disappeared from this world before me.”
Sha Ge (holding Ye Sha at arm’s length and looks at her face): “Good thing, (He helps Ye Sha to slowly lay back on the bed.) God, Buddha, Allah, blessed and protected him.”
Ye Sha (mumbling): “Thank, Lord, God, Buddha, Allah. Sha Ge, why can’t I love Ah Sing properly?”
Sha Ge: “You’re asking me? (pause) I want to ask you!”
Ye Sha (mumbling with her eyes closed): “Is it because I’m too sleepy? I can’t think of why I can’t love him. (breathes deeply) Why?”
Sha Ge: “Maybe it’s because God is envious of Ah Sing and doesn’t want to leave such a cute angel by his side.”
He looks at Ye Sha and sees that she has fallen asleep, so he quietly gets up from the bed and fusses around with her blanket. After a couple of minutes of fussing, Ye Sha suddenly pops up to a sitting position.
Ye Sha (urgently): “What time is it? How long have I slept?”
Sha Ge: “You only just laid down for 5 minutes!”
Ye Sha (kicking the blanket away): “That can’t be! I must have slept for a long time, so that’s why I’m so energetic now.”
Sha Ge: “No…”
Ye Sha: “I have to go to the hospital.”
Sha Ge: “You can’t go to the hospital. You still haven’t slept!”
Ye Sha: “I’m very energetic! I can even run a marathon. (She gets out of bed.) I’m going to the hospital!”
Sha Ge (grabs her arm): “You can’t!”
Ye Sha: “I’m going to see Ah Sing. I’m going now!”
Sha Ge: “You can’t!”
Ye Sha: “I have to go!”
Sha Ge: “You can’t then you can’t!”
Ye Sha: “I’m going right now to tell him that I love him! (She throws his hand off her arm.) Let go!”
She grabs her clothes from the chair and hurriedly walks past Sha Ge, who’s standing there like a statue.
Ye Sha: “Out of my way, out of my way.”
Sha Ge (looks after her): “Hey, you are so amusing!”
Ye Sha (calling out from the bathroom): “Hahaha.”
Sha Ge stood next to the bed and started laughing his head off.
Back at the hospital, F3 is walking down the hall toward Dao Ming Si’s room.
Mei Zuo: “Eh, the door’s open.”
Xi Men: “He wants to see people now?”
As they got near the room, Ye Sha quickly rushes out.
Ye Sha: “Ah Sing is missing!”
F3 is shock and Mei Zuo quickly goes in and looks, while Ye Sha starts running down the hall. Mei Zuo comes back out and F3 runs after Ye Sha calling out her name.
Dao Ming Si is sitting outside in the balcony area of Grandma’s house, holding onto a coconut lantern.
Dao Ming Si (thinking in his head while looking at the coconut): “Her expression while standing in front of Sheng Jia Tang, is as silly as yours. A very cute silliness. You wouldn’t be able to help but want to scold her stupid. She would of course be very mad. (image of San Cai smiling at Dao Ming Si in front of the church in Barcelona) When she moves her head, her long hair would be flowing about. There’s a powdery smell. (image of Ye Sha smiling at Dao Ming Si when they were standing on the rooftop in Barcelona looking up at the stars) Her smell is different. It’s the smell of the sun. When she looks up at the stars, she would also brighten up. This is Ye Sha. This is San Cai. I have a San Cai. After waking up from a sleep, I also have a Ye Sha. This is a really big joke. (to the coconut) Even you are laughing at me. (he tosses the coconut away in anger.) You don’t have to deny it. I can hear it. I won’t blame you. If I was you, I would also laugh. Too bad I’m not you. So… I want to cry.”
San Cai arrives at the hospital room and walks in to find an empty bed and room. She goes to knock on the bathroom door and was about to look in when the nurse walks in.
Nurse: “Miss, are you looking for someone?”
San Cai (points to the bed): “He… not sure where he went to.”
The nurse opens the bathroom door and looks in and didn’t find anyone.
Nurse: ‘I’m going to report it.”
The nurse walks out and San Cai slowly walks over to the bed. She picks up Dao Ming Si’s pajamas and sat on the bed staring at it. After a couple of seconds, she leaves it on the bed and walks out of the room.
Meanwhile, Ye Sha is looking for Dao Ming Si in the streets. She passes by a grocery stand and sees the coconuts. Then she rushes back to the apartment that she and Dao Ming Si stayed in when they first arrived in Taiwan. She couldn’t see Dao Ming Si there so she looks around the apartment. She stood in front of the map that she drew of Taipei on the wall and stars at it for a while.
Later that night, Dao Ming Si is slowly walking down the driveway back to the mansion. Halfway there, he stops walking and stood there thinking. At this moment, Ye Sha runs up to him from behind.
Ye Sha (calling out): “Ah Sing! Ah Sing!”
Dao Ming Si turns to look at her, with an expression like he didn’t really want to face her at this moment.
Ye Sha (stopping in front of Dao Ming Si): “Ah Sing, you idiot! You are so baffling! You…”
She wraps her arms around him to hug him tightly before he could even utter a word. Just then, San Cai is walking up the driveway and she stops in her tracks when she sees Ye Sha with Dao Ming Si. Just as she is about to call out to them, she sees Ye Sha pull back and kiss Dao Ming Si. San Cai stood rooted to the ground and stares at the scene in front of her in shock. After staring for a few more seconds, she looks away with a stunned expression and slowly backs up from the scene of Dao Ming Si and Ye Sha locked in a kiss together. She quickly turns around and runs away from them. The moment that she runs away, Dao Ming Si breaks away from the kiss and pulls Ye Sha away from him.
Dao Ming Si: “Ye Sha.”
Ye Sha: “I thought you left.”
Dao Ming Si: “I left? Why?”
Ye Sha: “Because you’ve always been telling me that you can’t go back and also don’t want to go back. But… I still wanted to return you to San Cai. Ah Sing, I made a mess of everything, right?”
Dao Ming Si: “There’s something that I want to tell you.”
Ye Sha: “I also have something to tell you.”
Dao Ming Si: “I want to tell you…”
Ye Sha (interrupting him): “I love you.”
Dao Ming Si stares at Ye Sha in stunned silence.
Ye Sha: “I actually wanted to bury these words inside my heart and never say it out loud. Until I saved you from the swimming pool, (Dao Ming Si looks to the side with a hurt expression on his face.) I discovered that if you weren’t by my side, if I lived by myself, then I’d be better off dead.”
Dao Ming Si (quickly turns back to face her): “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Ye Sha: “Right. I’m speaking nonsense. I’m crazy! (pause) I obviously love you but I’ve been doing so many things that makes myself regret. (pause) I’m dumb, stupid, makes people really mad, right? (pause) But you have said before that you like my stupid ways. You also said that it doesn’t matter who you are, you would love me forever. Do you remember?”
Dao Ming Si: “I remember. Every word that I said, every thing that I did, I remember it all.”
Ye Sha (smiles and rests her head on his chest, wrapping her arms around Dao Ming Si again): “Never again. I would not leave you again. (pause, raising her head up to look at his face) Doesn’t matter if you are Ah Sing or Ah Si, I will not force you to regain your memories. I will also not force you to love someone else. Because I’ve had enough of being jealous. Even if I’m to be beaten to death in this lifetime, I don’t want to be jealous again.”
She smiles at him and then rests her head back on his chest again. At this moment, the sky opens up and starts raining.
Ye Sha: “The words that I wanted to say, I’ve finished saying. (raises her head and looks at Dao Ming Si) What do you want to say? (finally noticing the rain) Oh, it’s raining harder and harder.”
Dao Ming Si looks up at the sky with the rain on his face and then looks back down at Ye Sha’s uplifted face filled with happiness.
Dao Ming Si: “Let’s go home.”
Ye Sha: “That’s what you wanted to say?”
He puts on a smile for her and nods his head. Ye Sha giggles and then rests her head back on his chest. Above her head, Dao Ming Si has a pained expression on his face as he looks up at the sky.
San Cai is still running and brushing the tears from her eyes every couple of steps. Finally she stops running, leaning against a wall out of breath. As she stood there, trying to catch her breath, the image of Ye Sha and Dao Ming Si kissing floats through her head, the image of when Dao Ming Si is standing inside the elevator but doesn’t hold the door for her, the image of when she was on the rooftop with Dao Ming Si and he was telling her that it doesn’t matter how many memories they have together, the one that he loves is still Ye Sha and then back to the image of Ye Sha and Dao Ming Si kissing. San Cai slowly stands away from the wall and starts walking sadly with her head down. She passes by the street where a big cartoon character is giving away balloons to the passengers on the street and she stops to look at the balloons. At home, San Cai is sitting outside while Lei is calling San Cai’s cell phone, but she left it on her dresser by the bed in her room. San Cai is sitting on the front steps and holding a balloon in the shape of a heart in her hands. She hugs it to her before, slowly, slowly letting it go and watching it float up toward the sky.
Next morning, Sha Ge is walking sleepily, with eyes half closed toward the kitchen. He opens the refrigerator door and pours himself a glass of milk. After closing the refrigerator door, holding his glass of milk in his hands, he slowly walks away drinking. As he was walking out of the kitchen and drinking his milk, there came a loud sound of a blender buzzing. He was so frightened that he spits out the milk that he was drinking. He turns around and sees Ye Sha standing there, with a blender on the kitchen counter.
Ye Sha (smiling happily): “Sha Ge, good morning!”
He slowly walks over to where Ye Sha is standing.
Sha Ge (looks at Ye Sha’s happy face and teases her): “You’re out of bed? Making breakfast? What a surprise!”
Ye Sha: “Get out of the way, you.”
Sha Ge (laughing, leans closer to Ye Sha): “Have happiness huh? Huh? HUH?”
Ye Sha (points at his head, smiling): “Go away!”
Sha Ge laughs again.
Ye Sha (hands him a glass of the drink that she made): “Drink this.”
Sha Ge (taking the drink and looks at both the drink and his glass of milk): “Last night... (He takes a sip of the drink that Ye Sha handed him.) Ah Sing must have said something to you, right?”
Ye Sha (denies): “No.”
Sha Ge (puts down his glass of milk): “No?”
Ye Sha (taking the toast out of the toaster and onto a plate): “Nope.”
Sha Ge: “I know. There must have been…”
He makes a kissing sound with his mouth and fingers.
Ye Sha (smiling, putting more bread into the toaster): “No also.”
Sha Ge (with a disbelief tone): “NO?! (leans up to Ye Sha’s face) Yeah right! You really think that I couldn’t feel that you have changed? (pause, smiling) Moreover, Ah Sing loves you so much. And he sees that you are all wet from the rain and looking for him everywhere and then he would be so touched that he would…”
Ye Sha (smiling widely): “I was the one that kissed him.”
Sha Ge (looks on with an amused face): “Oh?”
Ye Sha: “I also told him that I love him.”
Sha Ge laughs and drinks in happiness while Ye Sha stood there with a face filled with happiness.
Ye Sha: “Sha Ge, I feel that I didn’t have any courage in the past. But now I realize that those who are really not qualified to speak about tomorrow are the ones that don’t know how to hold onto today. (pause) From now on, I must let I and Ah Si’s every single day be without any regrets.”
Sha Ge opens up his arms happily and then both give each other a big hug. Suddenly Sha Ge thinks of something and pulls away.
Sha Ge: “Oh no! This… this… have to hurry up. (He grabs Ye Sha’s hand and pulls her along.) Last time I…I… brought this ring for you. Do you remember where you put it? Let’s go to your room.”
Sha Ge drags Ye Sha along and quickly runs into her room.
Sha Ge (urgently): “Quick! Quick! Quick! Help me look for it! Look for it. (stopping in the middle of the room) Last time when I came back from Spain, this meteor ring that I brought back. The one that you took away. Help me look for it. Please, please.”
Ye Sha nods her head and Sha Ge frantically looks around the room.
Sha Ge: “Where did it go? How can you just put things anywhere?”
Ye Sha (taking out a tiny box): “Is it this?”
Sha Ge seeing the box breathes a sigh of relief.
Sha Ge: “Thank God! (taking the ring out of the box) Good thing it’s still here. Then, I will quickly get rid of it.”
He puts the ring back in the box and takes it out of Ye Sha’s hand.
Ye Sha: “Get rid of what?”
Sha Ge: “Did you forget? I said that this ring has been cursed. It’s very uneasy that you and Ah Sing have such a wonderful future ahead of you. How can I leave this horrible thing beside you then?”
Ye Sha (amused): “Sha Ge. Why are you so superstitious?”
Sha Ge: “I’d rather be superstitious, then you being uncaring about it. If we can hurry up and get you and Ah Sing into a Church and say ‘I do’, then even if I have to drink bitter water, then I would gulp, gulp, gulp it down.”
Ye Sha (smiles at him): “You don’t have to rush to drink bitter water. Let me make a call first.”
Sha Ge: “Who are you calling?”
Ye Sha doesn’t answer and just picks up her cell phone. Just as she was about to make the call, her cell phone rings.
Ye Sha (answering the phone): “Hello?”
