A mailman stops his bike in front of a house.

Mailman (calls out): “Receive a register letter!”

Sha Ge (calls out from inside the house): “Whose is it?”

Mailman (looks at the name on the letter): “Mr. Xu’s.”

Sha Ge: “Orh!”

He comes out of the house and takes the letter from the mailman.

Sha Ge: “Thank you. Thank you.”

Mailman (nods his head): “Ok.”

The mailman leaves and Sha Ge looks at the addressee on letter and quickly runs back to the house.

Sha Ge sits on the steps and reads the letter from Ye Sha.

Ye Sha’s voice narrating: “Sha Ge. Prague’s winter has a kind of beauty that makes one unwilling to give up it’s dreary cold. Too bad... I still have to leave. Don’t laugh at my bad handwriting. Because there is something urgent that I need to tell you. There is a wish that I can only rely on you to take care of... because you are my most beloved Sha Ge. There’s nothing that Sha Ge can’t do! (He makes a face that seems to say, ‘Of course!’ when he reads this line.) Actually, I’ve known a long time ago that Ah Si has regained his memories… Found the deeply ingrained love that he had for San Cai. When I have to face this answer that has made me feel very uneasy for a long time, I truly was unable to bear it. That’s why I greedily accepted Ah Si’s offer of friendship to accompany me to travel around the world during the last days of my life. Because I am only pretending to be brave... pretending to be strong... pretending I was very free and easy. Actually, I was very afraid of facing ‘losing’... so that’s why I drew all the views of people’s backs. Let everything that I love not leave out of my sight. But the funny thing is that when you lose your life, then what is the meaning of everything? Ah Si accompanied me from one city to another city. I was looking at this beautiful world and finally understood why God has arranged for me to come into San Cai and Ah Si’s story. Actually, it seems like God wants me to learn from San Cai’s strength, courage... that is the way that I have always wished to be. I suddenly cleared up... I suddenly thought it through. I need to continue living. I WANT to continue living. Moreover, I shouldn’t only be needing, only wanting, I should be even more enthusiastically fighting for it! Thinking about my father, my countrymen... praying for me each day by the waterside… Thinking of you, San Cai, Ah Si... the courage that you all gave me... How can I only, cowardly, let life slip away little by little? How can I?? Sha Ge, when you see my letter, please don’t cry. Because I have already returned to Bhutan. Because my faith has finally moved God. The bone marrow match was a success. When I was receiving the transplant from the operation... Sha Ge, I can only entrust Ah Si and San Cai’s happiness to you. I know you will not let me be disappointed! I also know that at this time next year, Ye Sha and Sha Ge will be at the winery in Barcelona happily drinking a whole lot of red wine! I remember that you have said before that if there is a day that I will have to leave, then you will look at the back view of me leaving with your own eyes. Now, I will leave the back view to you. Moreover, the back view in front of you now will never leave again. (Sha Ge is nodding his head and crying happy tears as he continues reading.) I once loved someone named Ah Sing, a guy who has lost his way. In the end, I am good friends with a deeply loved Ah Si. I really like the way that God has arranged all this. Because I know that the Dao Ming Si that possesses both, Ah Sing’s seriousness towards life and Ah Si’s stubbornness towards love, at the same time, can give San Cai true happiness.”

Sha Ge (nodding his head nonstop, finishes reading the letter): “Right! Right! (looks up at the sky and shouts) THANK YOU! THANK YOU GOD! THANK YOU ALLAH! THANK YOU SAINT MOTHER MARIA! THANK YOU BODHISATTVA! AVALOKITESVARA BODHISATTVA! [Note: Chinese characters is guan shi yin pu sa or Goddess of Mercy.] ALL THE GODS IN HEAVEN, THANK YOU!”

Xiao Qiao is holding her long awaited musical performance. Sitting in the middle of the stage, she is playing her cello while there are other musicians playing different instruments around her. Along a row of attendees there was, Qing He, Mimi, Xiao Qiao’s mom, Mei Zuo’s mom, Mei Zuo and Xi Men, all sitting together. As Mei Zuo is sitting there listening to Xiao Qiao playing, he recalls all the special memories that he has had with her.

Scene of when Mei Zuo sees Xiao Qiao for the first time in Xi Men’s celebration banquet.

Mei Zuo looks over to the girl and notices her.

Mei Zuo (bends to talk to Xi Men): “That girl over there wearing the black clothing – doesn’t seem to have seen her before.”

Xi Men (still looking over): “Ying Xiao Qiao. Jun Li Construction’s President’s daughter. (looks at Mei Zuo) Just came back from graduating in America.”

Mei Zuo (looks away): “Another valuable expensive vase without a brain.”

The time at the pub, where after Mei Zuo forces a kiss on Xiao Qiao, she leaves and slaps him on the face.

Xiao Qiao: “A while ago, it was for your face. This slap now is for my face.”

The time when Xiao Qiao throws her cello into the water and Mei Zuo jumps in to save it while she stands on shore anxiously shouting for him to come back.

Xiao Qiao (anxiously shouts out to him): “Hurry up and come back! What are you doing?! Don’t save it! I don’t need it! Hurry up and come back!”

The scene by the car when Xiao Qiao grabs Mei Zuo suddenly and kisses him.

Mei Zuo stumbles back a little as she releases the shirt that she was holding. He looks at her and then looks away with a big grin on his face.

Mei Zuo: “You know that this type of thing... should be left to the guy to initiate?”

They smiled at each other and then Mei Zuo puts his hand behind Xiao Qiao’s neck and pulling her close to him, shares a passionate kiss with her.

Mei Zuo was brought back to the present with the sound of a big round of applause as the music ended. Xiao Qiao stands up and takes a bow to the audience.

Xiao Qiao: “Thank you everyone for coming tonight. This is my first musical concert here in Taiwan. To me, besides being a stepping stone for the course of development in studying music, there is also another very special meaning. Before the encore piece, please let me tell everyone a story about me and the cello. (pause, taking a deep breath) When I was very young, I quietly fell in love with a boy. Always behind him and secretly looking at him playing with his friends. Always hoping that he would turn his head around and notice my existence. (Mei Zuo is not looking very happy as he listens to her story.) After that, I went abroad to study music. Every time that I think of him, I would use all my longing thoughts to play the cello. But after I returned to Taiwan this time, I realized that he has forgotten about me. Even though that is the case, I still am very thankful to him for starting my enthusiasm towards love and music. So at this time, I want to give to him today’s last song. Because he loves to listen to the ‘world’s famous music’.”

Everybody starts clapping again and Xiao Qiao bows once more and sits back down on her chair. As she sits back down to get ready to play, Mei Zuo can’t contain his feelings of jealously anymore and gets up from his seat. He moves down the isle and pass Xi Men, who looks up at him with a confused expression. As he started walking up the stairs to leave the auditorium, Xiao Qiao started playing the tune “Doraemon.” Xi Men who was looking at Mei Zuo turns his head in surprise at the tune that he was hearing. Mei Zuo’s feet, on the other hand, was frozen to the ground. A surprised Mei Zuo slowly turns around and stood at the spot that he was standing at with a stunned look on his face. As he stood there listening to Xiao Qiao play the tune, a happy Mei Zuo has a very touched smile on his face as he stares at Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao who is up on stage playing the cello, looks out to where Mei Zuo is standing and smiles back sweetly at him. After the tune is finished playing, there is another round of applause as Xiao Qiao stands up and bows once again. With everybody clapping around him, Mei Zuo recalls the first time that he heard Xiao Qiao play the cello at the high class restaurant that his mom arranged. Xiao Qiao's mom: “Mei Zuo, what do you want to hear? I can tell Xiao Qiao to play it for you to hear.”

Mei Zuo: “Um… The world famous music - Doraemon.”

There was a standing ovation by the audience, as Xiao Qiao and Mei Zuo stood there staring at each other with smiles on their faces.

After the concert, Mei Zuo is sitting on the stage and waiting for Xiao Qiao. She walks out from the backstage and toward the sitting Mei Zuo.

Mei Zuo: “At that time, you always used to tie two ponytails... (smiling up at Xiao Qiao as she stops in front of him) Wearing a huge pair of glasses.”

Xiao Qiao (kneeling down besides him): “That’s why you never even look at me.”

Mei Zuo: “Falling in love at 12 years old? (She sits down next to him.) Aren’t you too matured?”

Xiao Qiao: “Hmmm, not really. (teasingly) Who told you to be so cute when you were 12 years old?”

Mei Zuo (laughs, nodding his head): “Now I finally understand. Finally understand why you have constantly been playing with me. Because I’ve made you wait from 12 years old until now, right?”

Xiao Qiao (smiling): “Then what are you waiting for now?”

Mei Zuo (confused): “What?”

Xiao Qiao (looks away, smiling shyly): “You said it yourself. There are some things that (She looks at him.) guys should take the initiative in.”

Mei Zuo understands what she is talking about and gets up off the floor. He stands up and holds out his hand to Xiao Qiao. She puts her hand into his and he pulls her up to stand facing him. They smiled at each other, before Mei Zuo puts his hands around her waist and they are once again locked in a passionate kiss on stage. After a few minutes without oxygen, they pulled away and stood there hugging each other.

Meanwhile, at the arrivals exit of Taipei airport, a casually dressed Dao Ming Si walks out carrying a backpack. He walks back to the gates of the Dao Ming mansion and stood there staring at it for a while before going inside. Slowly, he walks down the long drive and makes his way to the studio that he made for Ye Sha. When he gets into the studio, he goes over to the big canvas which is covered with a white cloth. He reaches up slowly and pulls the cloth away to reveal a painting that Ye Sha did of the back view of herself. Dao Ming Si backs up from the painting one step at a time all the while staring at the drawing. As he sat there staring at the picture of Ye Sha’s back, he seems to envision the real Ye Sha standing with her back to him and then slowly turning around and smiling at him. After sitting there for a while, he gets up from the chair and walks over to the painting. With a box cutter in his hand, he starts to cut the painting from the large canvas. When that is done, while kneeling on the floor, he carefully rolls up the large drawing.

As he is finishing rolling up the drawing, Dao Ming Feng walks into the studio and stands at the entrance.

Dao Ming Feng: “I heard some noises in here and I knew that it must be that you have returned. (Dao Ming Si just continues fixing the drawing and doesn’t answer.) Even though the people that Mommy sends out all say that they can’t find you... but Mommy still believes that you will definitely come back. (Dao Ming Si stops his fussing with the painting.) I have been waiting for your return.”

Dao Ming Si (without looking up): “I only came back to get something.”

Dao Ming Feng: “Ah Si, you should be a bit more mature. Dao Ming Corporation is still waiting for your succession.”

Dao Ming Si: “You save it for yourself. I’m not interested.”

He picks up the painting and stands up.

Dao Ming Feng (getting angry): “What are you talking about?!”

Dao Ming Si (looks at her and then turns away): “I won’t be coming back again. (pause) I came back today... I must be firm on my decision. (pause) Inside the world that you control, there is no love... there’s only power... only profits... (turns to look at her) and also yourself. (He walks over to pick up his back pack.) Someone who uses other people’s lives... (slowly walks over to her) a son’s happiness... being used as an exchange for profits by that kind of a mother... (stops in front of her) without a care about her son’s life or death… Frankly, just treat me as dead.”

Dao Ming Feng lashes out and slaps him hard on the face at his comment without thinking at all. The expression on her face shows how shaken she is at her action and she looks at the shaking hand that she used to slap Dao Ming Si with horror before controlling her expressions again.

Dao Ming Si (turns his head back to face her and smiles coldly): “Take care of yourself.”

He walks past her, leaving her standing there.

Dao Ming Feng: “Ah Si. (She turns around and shouts after him.) AH SI!”

Dao Ming Si is walking rapidly with the drawing under his arm and with his backpack over his shoulder. Dao Ming Feng, on the other hand, is also rapidly following behind him toward the front entrance of the mansion.

Dao Ming Feng: “Ah Si! You stand right there! (He continues walking as though he didn’t hear her.) I told you to stand right there, did you hear?!”

Dao Ming Si stops walking and his mother also stops a few feet behind him.

Dao Ming Feng (talking to his back): “Fine! You go! You can go ahead and continuing to throw your master tantrums! Anyway, when you have fallen enough, had enough pain outside, then you will naturally return to my side!”

Dao Ming Si (turns his head slightly, giving her a side view of his face): “What you said is right. I haven’t fallen enough. (pause) But to you, someone who has never lost before, you probably don’t know that the more you fall, the less pain you’ll feel.”

After saying this, he continues to walk out through the front door without a backward glance. Dao Ming Feng slowly walks over to the entrance and stood there looking out at him.

Dao Ming Feng (holds her head high with her two hands fisted by her sides): “Ah Si, you will come back. You are my son. You will definitely be back!”

Later that night, Dao Ming Si goes back to the first apartment that he stayed in with Ye Sha when they first arrived in Taiwan. He was walking around and looking about slowly, reminiscing the past, when Sha Ge comes back and sees him standing there.

Sha Ge (staring in the dark and trying to see who the figure that was standing there is): “Ah Sing?”

Dao Ming Si turns around and Sha Ge walks up to him with a happy face and pats Dao Ming Si on the shoulder.

When they both settled down upstairs at the apartment, Dao Ming Si looks around at the things in the room while holding a glass of red wine in his hand. After he looks around at the messy room, he walks outside to where Sha Ge is sitting.

Dao Ming Si: “Sha Ge. Living by yourself... how can you manage to make the room so messy?”

Sha Ge (laughs): “Can’t help it. Have to cook, have to entertain, and have to make friends. And occasionally meeting these types of people and then thinking of ways to holding people’s hands... very busy!”

Dao Ming Si laughs and they have a toast.

Dao Ming Si (bringing the glass to his lips): “Sha Ge really hasn’t changed at all.”

Sha Ge (after swallowing): “Eh, you really thought that making yourself into a homeless wandering man, then that’s considered changing? (Dao Ming Si looks at the way he is dressed.) You think that you don’t keep in touch with us, you hide and don’t see us, then you would really be able to change?”

Dao Ming Si: “I wasn’t hiding. (pause) After traveling to all these places with Ye Sha, I discovered that this kind of life is more rich. And also very innocent. When hungry, then go work... when tired, then randomly just find a place to sleep until light... when lonely, then like you, make some friends.”

Sha Ge: “But no holding hands.”

Dao Ming Si: “Hold hands? I hold the hands of a little kid to cross the street...”

Sha Ge laughs out loud at Dao Ming Si innocence while Dao Ming Si just looks at him strangely.

Sha Ge: “Ah Si. Since you like traveling so much, then can you do me a favor?”

He puts down his glass of wine and goes back inside to the apartment. Dao Ming Si sits down outside and waits for him. Sha Ge picks up a small box from inside the apartment and brings it out. He sits down next to Dao Ming Si and takes out a meteor star ring from the small box.

Sha Ge (looking at the ring that he’s holding): “From a long time ago, I have always wanted to take this ring, find a place, dig a hole and then bury it... but I was afraid that I would not bury it deep enough. And what if someone digs it up, finds it and then it would harm them. (holds the ring out to Dao Ming Si) If there is a day when you are at the Pacific Ocean, please find the deepest area and throw it away.”

With a slightly hesitant and trembling hand, Dao Ming Si reaches out and takes the ring from Sha Ge. After staring at the ring for a few seconds, Dao Ming Si clutches the ring in his palm and looks away.

Sha Ge: “Now the ring is once again back in your hands, you do with it as you will. Before you throw it away, whether is lucky or not, it will all depend on your own fortune.”

He puts the small box down and picks up his glass of wine again.

Sha Ge (after taking a sip): “When are you leaving?”

Dao Ming Si: “Probably in the next day or 2.”

Sha Ge (pats him on his back): “Promise me. Before you leave, have another drink with me. I think you must be remembering about my three glasses of frogs!”

Dao Ming Si and Sha Ge both laugh and then they continue drinking and chatting the night away.

Next night, inside a small restaurant, Dao Ming Si is sitting there facing a whole table full of food.

Dao Ming Si (looks at the food and turns around): “Sha Ge! There’s so much, how can we finish it?!”

Sha Ge laughs and brings over another dish of food.

Sha Ge (holds the dish for Dao Ming Si to smell): “Smell it first, smell it first!”

Dao Ming Si smells the food and lets out a sigh.

Sha Ge (smells also): “Oh! Smells so good!”

Dao Ming Si: “But there’s only two of us!”

Sha Ge (puts the dish down on the table): “Who told you that there was only two of us?”

Dao Ming Si: “Huh?”

Sha Ge looks over to the door and Dao Ming Si slowly turns his head also to find Mei Zuo, Xi Men and Lei walking in.

Mei Zuo: “HEY!”

Sha Ge: “Welcome, welcome!”

He walks over to shake heads with Xi Men and Dao Ming Si stands up from his seat with a surprised look.

Mei Zuo (walks up to Dao Ming Si and gives him a playful punch in his stomach): “Use that kind of an expression to welcome us?”

Xi Men (stands next to Mei Zuo): “Once we got Sha Ge’s phone call, we immediately called over to Japan for Lei. And then went to the airport to pick him up. It wasted us a total of...”

Mei Zuo (crossing his arms): “3 hours and 40 minutes!”

Sha Ge: “How is that possible?! How can it be that fast?! What did you guys use to fly?”

Xi Men: “Eh, how did you know? We really did used a helicopter to pick him up.”

Sha Ge (looks over at Lei for his confirmation): “Hmm?”

Lei (smiles): “Right. Moreover, Mei Zuo’s flying skills at flying a helicopter is really very bad.”

Everybody smiles at Lei’s comment.

Mei Zuo: “In any case, you should take this up with Ah Si, ok? Who told him to not be a good friend? Forget about coming back secretly and now unexpectedly wants to secretly leave?”

He makes a false move to hit Dao Ming Si.

Xi Men: “Right. It doesn’t seem like he thinks about us F4 anymore.”

Mei Zuo: “What to do? How should we punish him?”

Xi Men (looks over at Lei): “What do you think Lei?”

Lei (looks at Dao Ming Si): “Punch him.”

Dao Ming Si (looks at Lei): “You guys say punch then punch? Then what am I?”

Xi Men (teasing): “You said don’t punch then don’t punch? Then what are we?”

Mei Zuo (holding up his fist and looking at Xi Men): “Punch?”

Xi Men: “Punch.”

With Mei Zuo taking the lead, he hits Dao Ming Si’ on his chest lightly.

Xi Men (also holding up his fist): “Mine turn.”

He makes a false move to hit him and Dao Ming Si braces himself for the punch, but in the end, Xi Men only gave him a light slap on the chest. Then Lei reaches out his hand to hit Dao Ming Si and Dao Ming Si stares at Lei’s hand. As Dao Ming Si is staring at Lei’s fisted hand, the hand un-fisted and a smiling Lei looks at Dao Ming Si. Everybody smiles cause they were just playing around.

Sha Ge: “Ok already! Dinner time! While it’s hot, while it’s hot! Come, come, come. Everybody had a hard day. Hard Day.”

Mei Zuo: “Dinner time!”

They five of them sits around the table and makes a toast with their glasses of beers.

Mei Zuo: “Let us have a great time drinking tonight!”

Xi Men: “For our reunion!”

Lei: “And also for our separation tomorrow.”

Dao Ming Si: “To F4!”

They all cheer loudly and drink from their glasses of beers.

Sha Ge (putting his glass down and looking at the food): “Still steaming hotly.”

Mei Zuo: “Wow, steaming hotly.”

Sha Ge (picks up his fork and points to a dish): “Have to eat this, this is my specialty.”

He pierces some food with his fork and hands it to Xi Men to try.

Sha Ge (picking up some other food): “Look at this. This is very impressive!”

Xi Men (tasting the food that Sha Ge handed him): “Wow, tastes very good Sha Ge!”

They continue chatting, eating and having lots of fun throughout the dinner.

After dinner, Lei is sitting outside next to a burning fire, deep in thought. Dao Ming Si walks out with a glass of beer in his hands and sees Lei. He stood there for a few seconds before making his mind and walking over to join Lei.

Dao Ming Si: “Why are you sitting out here all by yourself?”

Lei: “To get some fresh air. (pause) Xi Men and Mei Zuo are drunk?”

Dao Ming Si (setting his glass on the table): “They are almost. (pauses and asks hesitantly) You... came back all alone?”

Lei: “Mm.”

Dao Ming Si (avoids looking at Lei): “Then...”

Lei (abruptly): “You want to ask about San Cai, right?”

Dao Ming Si turns his over to look at Lei.

Lei: “She’s going to Japan tomorrow.”

Dao Ming Si: “You just came back and she’s going to Japan? (pause) Didn’t you guys agreed to go together?”

Lei: “Why don’t you understand San Cai at all? She’s working at a travel agency. This is also the first time that she’s taking a tour group to Japan.”

Dao Ming Si (with an incredulous tone): “She’s together with you. Why does she still need to work... Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Didn’t she suffer enough hardship before? (starts to get agitated) Eh, you love her, then you have to give her happiness! You have to take good care of her! You have to give her happiness, why are you...”

Lei (interrupts him): “Why are you getting so worked up for? (pause) Why is it that every time San Cai is mentioned, you have to get so worked up? (Dao Ming Si looks away and is at a loss to what to say.) Aren’t you going to be leaving soon? (pause) Then whether San Cai is happy or not... well or not... what does that have to do with you?”

Dao Ming Si doesn’t have any answers to Lei’s questions and the silence between them seems to be growing.

Lei (slowly stands up and speaks to Dao Ming Si with the table between them): “San Cai’s happiness... San Cai’s well being... the person who can give it to her... there has always been just one person from beginning to end.”

Dao Ming Si (smiles sarcastically and then looks at Lei): “And then what? This is the choice of fate.”

Lei looks at Dao Ming Si and then suddenly throws out a punch at him.

Dao Ming Si (holds his face and looks wide-eyed at Lei): “You...”

Lei: “Not convinced, right? Want to strike back, right? (Dao Ming Si glares at him like he wants to hit Lei back.) I throw a punch at you today. Why is it that you don’t have the strength to strike back?”

Dao Ming Si doesn’t answer and Lei takes out an envelope from his pocket and puts it in Dao Ming Si’s hand.

Lei: “Fate is now within your hands. (Dao Ming Si hesitantly reaches out with his other hand to hold the envelope.) If you don’t have the courage to strike back, (Dao Ming Si looks at the airline tickets that he pulls out of the envelope.) then you can just throw this thing into the garbage can.”

Lei brushes pass Dao Ming Si and heads for the door.

Dao Ming Si (turns around and calls out to him): “Lei!”

Lei stops walking and turns back slowly to look at Dao Ming Si.

Dao Ming Si (with a very grateful expression on his face): “What should I say?”

Lei: “You don’t have to say anything.”

Dao Ming Si gives Lei an appreciative smile and then looks back down at the tickets in his hands.

Next morning, inside San Cai’s house, Mom and Dad are slowly waking up.

Mom: “Papa, what time is it?”

Dad: “7:30 a.m.”

Mom: “Huh? 7:30?!?! But yesterday, I undoubtedly set the clock to 5 a.m.! Aiyo! It must be you, this pig, that turned the alarm off!”

Dad: “Look. All night, I’ve been squeezed by you that I can’t even turn over! So how can I turn the alarm off? You really are too much. So early in the morning, why is your temper so big?!”

Mom and Dad both tries to push through their bedroom door and get into the living room.

Mom (pushing Dad): “Our daughter, this is the first time that she is bringing a tour group to Japan. (points to Dad) If you make her late, then don’t even think about having breakfast this month! (walks toward San Cai’s room) San Cai!”

Dad (stands there with both hands at his waist): “Don’t make breakfast is even better! (starts to walk toward San Cai’s room) Everyday eating this vegetarian things with mushy sticky rice, I am so annoyed with it! San Cai!”

Mom (knocks on San Cai’s door): “It’s 7:30! (opens the door) San Cai! (looks at the neatly made bed) Eh? (looks around the room) San Cai!”

Dad (walks into the room): “San Cai!”

Mom (looks at Dad): “Where’s San Cai?”

Dad: “Oh, San Cai didn’t come home yesterday?”

Mom (hits Dad on the head): “Are you muddle headed?!?!”

Dad (holds his head annoyed): “This, this...”

Mom: “Yesterday night, we helped San Cai to pack her things and then we went to bed!”

Dad (scratches his head): “Really?? Then... what...”

Mom walks over to San Cai’s desk and finds a note that is left by San Cai. She picks it up and looks at it as Dad walks over to stand next to her. Dad and Mom both starts reading the note that is left behind.

San Cai’s voice: “Pa, Ma, I didn’t want to wake you both. I’m off. How strange, I’m starting to miss home now. I’m only taking a tour group to Japan for 5 days. Please don’t worry. (Mom starts to get teary eyed and Dad puts his arm around her shoulder.) I will leave home happily and return home safely. So, Ma, please, don’t be so dramatic again. (Mom laughs slightly at this comment.) There is one thing that I’ve always wanted to tell you both. I am very happy that my dad and mom is the two of you and not someone else. (Mom and Dad are both getting very emotional.) Even though, our family has always been very poor, but being able to see Pa and Ma, crying and laughing everyday, then I would feel that there is nothing in this world that we cannot get through. Even though that I am meant to be a weed, a lowly weed... but I am still the strongest weed! So, thank you, Dad and Mom for giving birth to me. Thank you both!”

Mom (crying, hugs the letter to her chest): “Our daughter is thanking us!”

Dad: “San Cai is grown up! She really has grown up!”

Mom: “Then starting from now on, we have to be a bit more serious parents! Should stop with all the joking around.”

Dad: “Our daughter is all grown up now. We should also grow up more!”

Mom nods her head, crying and looks at the letter again. Dad is starting to get emotional all over again and starts crying. He starts to use Mom’s sleeve to wipe his tears and nose.

Mom (crying and looks at Dad): “Since we are growing up, Papa... could you please start from now on... you use your own clothes... TO WIPE YOUR OWN TEARS AND RUNNING NOSE?!?!”

Dad (lets go of Mom’s sleeve): “No, no. Wife... (Mom looks at her wet sleeve with a pout on her face.) You said that a man’s most precious thing is his tears. So now I’m giving you this as a gift! Moreover, it’s the most precious gift!”

Dad smiles foolishly at Mom.

Mom (hits him on his head again): “Gift, your head!!! (Dad rubs the back of his head.) From our wedding until now, all that you have given me are a waste!”

Dad: “No. I’m...”

Mom (interrupts him): “Even you, yourself, is a waste!”

Dad: “But I’m a waste... however, you (grabs Mom’s arm) are the one that knows how to make use of waste! Right? (Mom starts giggling like a kid.) Moreover, you’ve been using it for so many years, so is it good?”

Mom and Dad both start laughing their heads off and at this moment, the doorbell starts buzzing.

At the airport, San Cai is busy distributing the airplane tickets to her tour group. She calls their name out one at a time and the person steps up to take the ticket from her.

Meanwhile, Dao Ming Si is running through the streets in a hurry with his backpack with him.

San Cai’s mom’s voice: “I won’t tell you where San Cai is. I will not be so dumb and let you hurt our San Cai once again. I won’t tell you that San Cai is taking the morning 9:30 flight with a tour group to Japan! I’m warning you, if you still have a goodness in your heart, then you go immediately now and bring her back!”

San Cai is at the airport explaining things to her tour group while Dao Ming Si is running desperately for a taxi. The taxi is by the side of the street with the door open because the guy that got the taxi is trying to move a big box from the side of the street into the car.

Dao Ming Si (jumps into the taxi and closes door, to the driver): “Airport please!”

Guy who called the taxi first: “Mr. This is my car!”

Dao Ming Si (smiles at the guy): “Did I ask for your opinion?”

The taxi starts moving.

Guy: “Yes! That’s my car! Hey! That’s my car! HEY!”

But the taxi has already started driving away.

At the airport, as San Cai fixes her luggage, her cell phone rings.

San Cai (taking her cell phone out of her pocket and answers): “Hello, I am San Cai. (pause) What? Xiao Du has appendicitis? (pause) Need me to take over? (pause) Right, I have been to Barcelona but... then what about our tour group now?”

Dao Ming Si arrives at the airport and gets out of the taxi. He walks through the sliding doors in a rush.

San Cai (on her phone): “Ok.”

Dao Ming Si looks at his ticket in his hands and looking around starts to run quickly.

San Cai hangs up the phone and looks around for someone.

Girl (walks over to San Cai with her luggage): “San Cai. I am here to take over the Japan tour group. (hands San Cai her Barcelona tickets) This is your tickets.”

San Cai (takes the ticket): “Thank you.”

Dao Ming Si is running as fast as he could through the airport and the people that are walking around.

San Cai (looking at the tickets): “Did you take the Japan tickets?”

Girl: “Yes. Hurry. The flight to Barcelona is taking off in half an hour.”

San Cai: “So quick? Ok. (hands the girl some tickets) There’s two people in our group that went to the restroom that haven’t come back yet. Then you wait here for them.”

Girl (takes the tickets and hurries San Cai along): “Ok. I’ll take care of it. You hurry up and go.”

San Cai (taking her luggage): “Ok, ok. See you!”

Girl: “Ok. Bye bye.”

San Cai rushes off to the gate where her flight is taking off while Dao Ming Si is still running through a crowd of people toward the counter.

Dao Ming Si: “Sorry. Am I late?”

Attendant (reaches out for Dao Ming Si’s documents): “No. Your passport and plane tickets.”

Dao Ming Si (hands it to her): “Thank you.”

Attendant: “Do you need to check in your bags?”

Dao Ming Si: “No.”

He looks around while the attendant proceeds to check in for him.

Dao Ming Si: “May I ask if there’s any tour groups today?”

Attendant: “Yes. There are lots of tour groups everyday.”

Dao Ming Si continues to look around as he waits for the attendant to finish checking him in.

Attendant (stands up): “The departure gate is at Gate #1. 9:40 take off. Hurry up and board the flight.”

Dao Ming Si: “Ok.”

Attendant: “Have a safe flight. Thank you.”

Dao Ming Si: “Thank you.”

He grabs his tickets and runs off. Scene of an airplane flying in the air.

Summary of MG2 Episode 31:

Scenes of the night life of Barcelona, San Cai’s flight finally arrives and has landed. Sitting in a taxi, San Cai is looking out the window as the taxi passes by the church that she saw with Dao Ming Si on their first day in Barcelona, Sheng Jia Tang. She remembers back to that scene with Dao Ming Si.

San Cai: “Genius and nut head is so different but with your IQ, of course, if you don’t recognize a genius, then you would recognize a nut head.”

Dao Ming Si: “I only see a nut head? (pause) Right, right… There’s so many beautiful girls in this world, why would I like one that’s crazy?”

San Cai narrows her eyes at him and then smiles.

Inside the taxi, San Cai smiles lightly to herself as she remembers Dao Ming Si’s words.

San Cai (thinking to herself): “Are memories suppose to be sweet? Or it is painful? I think this must be God’s test for me. The present me is bit by bit understanding… it doesn’t matter where Dao Ming Si is, the memories are always with me. (She looks at the meteor star ring on her finger.) I can’t hide from it and no one can take it away either…”

Arriving at her hotel, San Cai opens the door to her room, the same room that she stayed at with Dao Ming Si the first time she was in Barcelona. Closing the door behind her, she slowly walks into the room and thinks back to the scene when she was standing out in the balcony and admiring the night scenery where Dao Ming Si came up behind her and hugs her. Waking up to the present, San Cai gives a slight smile at her own thoughts and walks over to the sofa area. She sits down and makes a call on the phone that is sitting on top of the coffee table.

San Cai: “Hi, how are you? I’m the tour guide from Taiwan.”

Next morning, San Cai is standing by a tour bus and speaking on a microphone to her tour group.

San Cai: “Please board the bus everyone. Please board the bus.”

She stands aside smiling as all the people slowly file one by one into the bus. Once they get on the bus, San Cai starts to do a name count to make sure that she isn’t missing anyone from the group.

San Cai: “Lin Shu Mei, Zhou Wu Xiong. (no answer) Lin Shu Mei, Zhou Wu Xiong.”

Girl: “Tour guide, I just saw them on that side buying postcards.”

Guy (exasperated tone): “Every time, they are the ones that are holding us up!”

San Cai: “It’s ok. You guys wait here. I’ll go out and look around.”

She gets off the bus and walks pass a person who is selling balloons. She smiles and shakes her head at him to let him know that she’s not interested in buying any. As she continues to walk, she suddenly stops and looks up to the sky to see pink balloons flying up to the sky one by one.

Flashback:

Dao Ming Si (handing San Cai the balloon): “Miss San Cai, I’m handing my happiness to you.”

San Cai couldn’t hold on to it fast enough and the balloon flew away. Dao Ming Si & San Cai both stare at the balloon flying away.

Returning back to the present, San Cai realizes that someone is letting the balloons go one by one. She looks across to the other side and sees a little kid with his hands full of balloons, slowly letting them go. San Cai smiles to herself and turns around to continue looking for the two missing members.

Guy (calls out): “Tour guide! They have returned.”

San Cai: “Orh! Ok.”

She turns around briefly to look back at the little kid with the balloons and then runs back to the bus.

Back on the bus, San Cai is introducing the next tourist spot to the tour group.

San Cai: “Lang Bu La Da Dao is Barcelona’s most populated area. If you travel by foot, there are lots of restaurants, coffee shops. And also lots of delightful shops. Then in a little bit, you are free to go off on your own when we get there. We’ll gather together at the ‘Ca Na Le’ spring water fountain at 5:00 p.m. Everyone must be on time, or else, we’ll be late for the bullfight event.”

Girl (stands up from her seat): “Eh, tour guide. I heard from other people that if one drinks the spring water from the ‘Ca Na Le’ spring water fountain, then one day, they will be back to Barcelona again. Is that right?”

San Cai: “I’m not really sure. But I’ve drank the water from the fountain before, and now, I’m back again!”

Girl: “Then I must drink a whole big tank!”

The whole bus bursts out in laughter.

With the background music of Yo Te Amo playing, San Cai is slowly strolling on the streets of Barcelona all by herself. She walks by a flock of pigeons that are on the ground and she stops, as the pigeons all fly away. She looks over to the fountain and envisions Dao Ming Si bending down to drink the spring water and then looking up to smile at her.

San Cai (thinking to herself as she stood there looking at the fountain): “Maybe it’s really the legend of the spring water that has brought me back to Barcelona. (She touches the meteor ring on her finger.) Then... what about Dao Ming Si? (pause) Dao Ming Si, do you hear? I am here!”

Later, at the bullfight event, a smiling San Cai is holding a video camera and trying to record the crowded scenes of the bullfight in front of her. In all the confusion and chaos around the event, San Cai is accidentally pushed by the excited bystanders and she falls to the ground. She falls on her side with the arm that is holding the video camera and struggles to get up but there was just too much people around her. At this moment, a hand wearing a meteor star ring stretches out to San Cai. Naturally, without a second thought, she puts her hand into the palm of the outstretched person. Finally, the two rings are reunited together, as the two hands, each wearing one ring, are clasped together tightly. Before she gets pulled up, San Cai looks up at the person to whom the hand belongs to and to her stunned surprise, she sees none other than Dao Ming Si! A Dao Ming Si that is smiling gently down at her while she is still on the ground looking up to his face with wide eyes and a shocked expression.

Sitting aside on some steps, a couple of feet away from the tour bus, the atmosphere was a bit awkward as Dao Ming Si and San Cai sits in silence.

San Cai (finally breaking the silence): “How... are you?”

Dao Ming Si (answers with): “How are you?”

San Cai: “Not too bad.”

Dao Ming Si: “I’m also not too bad.”

After a few seconds of more silence, San Cai once again speaks.

San Cai (smiling): “What a coincidence!”

At this moment, the driver on the bus honks the horn to let San Cai know that they should get going.

San Cai (looks at Dao Ming Si): “I have to go. (She stands up and says hesitantly.) Dao Ming Si... I...”

Dao Ming Si (stands up, and with a voice full of anticipation, asks): “What?”

San Cai (looks like she wants to say something but then shakes her head lightly): “We’ll see each other in Taipei.”

Dao Ming Si (disappointed look): “See you in Taipei.”

San Cai looks at Dao Ming Si one last time, before running toward the bus. Dao Ming Si stares after her with a longing expression on his face for a few seconds before seeing the door closing and then driving off. As he sees the bus pulling away, the Dao Ming Si that was rooted to the ground suddenly starts running toward the bus at full speed.

Dao Ming Si (calling out): “SAN CAI!”

Once again, Dao Ming Si is chasing after a bus for San Cai, just like in MG1. After running for some distance, the exhausted Dao Ming Si stops and tries to catch his breath while standing there in the middle of the road. He looks up, breathing very hard, and stares at back of the bus which is moving further and further away. Suddenly, he hears a very familiar voice calling out from behind him, “Dao Ming Si! Where are you trying to go?”

A surprised Dao Ming Si turns around and finds a widely smiling San Cai standing a few feet behind him. At the sight of San Cai’s smiling face, Dao Ming Si also breaks out into a big smile too.

Later, inside the St. Pons Church, the one that Dao Ming Si asked San Cai to meet him at so that he can propose to her, both Dao Ming Si and San Cai are standing side by side with their hands clasped, eyes closed and praying. San Cai prays with a sweet smile on her face because of her happiness. She then opens her eyes and turns to look at Dao Ming Si whose eyes are still closed and his lips are moving with his prayers.

San Cai: “You are praying so seriously. What exactly are you saying to God?”

Dao Ming Si (opens his eyes and looks at San Cai briefly before turning to look at the alter again): “I said, because of trying to come here, I have traveled for a very long distance. So please don’t play with us anymore, ok? I’m really serious!”

San Cai (frowns at him): “Dao Ming Si! (She hits him on his shoulder.) Who talks to God without any manners?!”

Dao Ming Si (protests back): “When wasn’t I having any manners? I said please to him! Is that what you call without any manners?”

San Cai (rolls her eyes and nudges at his arm with her elbow): “Forget it! Can’t argue anything with you.”

Dao Ming Si: “I...”

San Cai (facing the alter and clasping her hands together again): “Sorry, God. He does talk like that. Please don’t fuss over it with him.”

Dao Ming Si: “God is not as narrow minded as you.”

San Cai (glares at Dao Ming Si and says loudly): “I’m narrow minded?!?!?!”

Dao Ming Si (turns to say to her matter of factly): “You ARE narrow minded.”

San Cai: “Right! I am narrow minded! That’s why I would like you such a big pig head!”

Dao Ming Si: “I...”

San Cai (doesn’t let him talk and continues rambling): “If I knew early, then I would have chosen to be with Lei that small pig head. Even Xi Men and Mei Zuo, those 2 idiots...”

She never get to finish her sentence because Dao Ming Si suddenly puts his lips on hers and starts kissing her to shut her up. With a stunned look and wide eyes, San Cai was frozen and was just standing there looking at Dao Ming Si’s face with his eyes closed. Then finally, she started reacting and closing her eyes, starts to passionately kiss him back too. In the middle of their kiss, Dao Ming Si opens his eyes and gazes at San Cai’s face as she is kissing him back. With a contented look on his face, he closes his eyes and continues kissing her back.

Slowly the scene moves over to a bench outside of the St. Pons Church, where the words ‘Cai & Si’ are engraved on the wooden bench.

San Cai’s voice: “Pig head Dao Ming Si! Why did you engrave it so ugly?!”

Back in Taiwan at night, Sha Ge is standing around with F3 and drinking beer.

Sha Ge: “Let us raise our glasses and have a toast! For San Cai and Ah Sing. Wonder what those two are doing in Barcelona now?”

Mei Zuo: “Must be...”

F3 together: “Pig heading here and pig heading there!”

Everybody laughs loudly.

Meanwhile, back in Barcelona, Dao Ming Si and San Cai are still in the church, locked in each other’s arms, kissing. And the story ends, with the words, “So the story continue...” on the screen.
