Summary
of MG2 Episode 15:
At Ying De’s school grounds, San Cai is walking by herself when Qing He runs up to her from behind.
Qing He (calling out): “San Cai!”
San Cai (turning around): “Qing He.”
Qing He: “You don’t have to work today?”
San Cai: “There’s someone working for me today.”
Qing He (very happy): “Very good. Then today we can finally talk with each other.”
Mimi (calling out): “Qing He Senior!”
Qing He looks around to see who was calling him.
Mimi: “Qing He Senior!”
She runs over to where Qing He and San Cai was standing.
Mimi: “Qing He Senior, remember me?”
Qing He (looks at her, confused): “You are…”
Mimi: “Did you forget?”
Qing He thinks for a while but then turns to her with a blank face.
Mimi: “How about if I give you a hint? In the early morning of Ying De University’s registration day, there was a poor girl who was being humiliated. (looking at Qing He) Suddenly, at this time, a hero showed up. This hero not only helped this girl to solve her problem, but he also helped her to get her confidence back. From that day on, this girl kept on thinking about this hero’s back.”
Qing He: “Back?”
Mimi: “Qing He Senior, you remembered?”
Qing He: “Ohhhh, you are this hero, right?”
Mimi: “Qing He Senior, you are very humorous. This hero is of course you.”
San Cai has been listening the whole time and she gets an amused look on her face when she turns to look at Qing He.
Qing He (surprised, pointing to himself): “Me?”
Mimi: “I’m the one who accepted the money that you paid for the tuition, your junior, Mimi.”
Qing He: “Mimi? (pause) Oh, now I remember. I’m sorry. I forgot before.”
Mimi: “It’s no problem. ‘To help without meaning to.’ My dad says that this is what a real hero’s character is like. (pause) Oh, I almost forgot to say. Please accept my deepest gratitude. (bowing) Thank you.”
Qing He is looking very smug and pleased with himself.
San Cai (smiling): “Qing He, why didn’t you tell me about this good deed that you did?”
Mimi (looking from Qing He to San Cai): “Qing He Senior, this is…”
Qing He (smiling widely): “This is my most beloved, very good, very good student… San Cai.”
Mimi (turns to San Cai with an amazed look): “Ah, you are the legendary person who is said to have the weed power’s diligent/hardworking virgin. And the girlfriend of F4’s most handsome, most wealthy, most powerful leader, Dao Ming Si. San Cai Senior?”
San Cai: “Eh, I… I…”
Mimi: “I’m so lucky! I just came into Ying De University and I met two very famous people! (pause, very happy) San Cai Senior, may I shake your hand?” (she sticks out her hand to San Cai)
San Cai (looks at it): “Oh, ok.”
San Cai puts her hand into Mimi’s and Mimi was so happy that she hold onto San Cai’s hand with both hands.
Mimi (looking down at their clasped hands, amazed): “I really am very lucky. I’m actually holding onto San Cai Senior’s hand. I’m so touched that I want to cry!”
San Cai looks at Qing He then looks back at their clasped hands and pulls her hand back.
San Cai: “Eh, I’m also very happy to have met you… um…”
Mimi: “Mimi.”
San Cai: “Oh, Mimi.”
Mimi: “From now on, have to ask Qing He Senior and San Cai Senior to look after me.”
San Cai: “You don’t have to say that. I believe that your hero, Qing He, would definitely look after you.”
Mimi (looks at Qing He): “I will do the best I can to repay Qing He Senior you.”
Qing He (waving the matter aside): “Aiyo, stop being so courteous.”
Mimi (looking down at her hands): “Qing He Senior, then I have a very small problem.”
Qing He: “Ok, ok. Just say it, don’t be so courteous.”
Mimi: “Please accept my deepest gratitude and accept my proposal to have dinner with me.”
Qing He (shocked): “What?!?! Have dinner?!?!”
After this San Cai is walking around the school grounds all by herself and then she slowly walks inside to her locker carrying her books. When she gets to her locker area, she stood there for a few minutes staring at the locker.
San Cai (thinking to herself): “School is starting soon. Even Ying De University’s air smells so differently. Is it really because of the fact that there is no F4?”
San Cai slowly walks up to her locker and upon opening it to put her books away, she sees a real frog inside. San Cai got scared and quickly backs up and bumps into someone. She fell to the floor and her books scattered around.
San Cai (looking up to the girl that she bumped into): “Sorry.”
San Cai sits on the ground rubbing her knee when someone walks up next to her.
Lei (looking down at San Cai): “Do you like your new opening school present that I gave you?”
San Cai (surprised): “Lei. Why did you pull such a trick on me?”
Lei (smiling widely): “I just want to remind you that when there is F4, then there would be hard days. That way, you can cherish the changes now.”
San Cai: “Don’t worry. I will make sure I live even better.”
Lei (nods his head): “Why are you still sitting on the ground for? Hurry up, get up and go after your happiness.”
San Cai smiles at Lei and Lei smiles back, holding out his hand to help her stand up. She stood up and Lei patted her arm with his hand. She smiled at him for a few seconds, then hits him on the arm.
San Cai: “Use a frog to scare me.”
That night San Cai is standing outside of Dao Ming Si’s house, ringing the doorbell. After ringing for a long time with no answer, she was just about to leave when Dao Ming Si opens the door. When she heard the door opening, San Cai quickly runs back.
San Cai: “I’m here to apologize to you. (bows) I’m sorry I hit you at the airport. I was not thinking and acted on impulse. (pause) I also have to tell you that it doesn’t matter if you welcome me or not, I will not give up. I will use all that I have to wake up your memories. (she reaches in her pocket for a piece of paper, holding it out to Dao Ming Si) This is my telephone number. You can find me anytime. Even if you don’t want to find me that’s ok. I will come see you everyday.”
When Dao Ming Si makes no move to take the piece of paper from her, San Cai’s head and hands both started lowering. That’s when Dao Ming Si takes the piece of paper from her hand and goes back inside and closes the door. San Cai then slowly walks away. Dao Ming Si is leaning against the door, staring at the piece of paper in his hand.
Next morning, Xi Men is walking into the lobby of the company’s building when his assistant runs out to meet him out of breath.
Assistant (gasping for breath): “Manager! Ten… ten o’clock. This morning… this morning ten o’clock.”
Xi Men: “Speak slowly. What’s the rush?”
Assistant: “Yes, Manager. (takes a couple of deep breaths) I just received a notice for a meeting for this morning at 10 o’clock. The President and all the other department’s managers want to go over your plan.”
Inside the conference room, preparations for the meeting is taking place. Xi Men’s assistant is sitting next to him, very nervous.
Xi Men (looking over at him): “Why are you so nervous for? Don’t worry.”
Assistant: “Yes, Manager. I… I’m not nervous at all.”
Just then Xi Men’s dad walks into the conference room. Everybody stands up and calls out, “Hello, President.” Xi Men’s dad sits down and tells everybody else to sit.
Uncle: “Then let’s not waste anymore time. Let’s ask Xi Men Manager to present the plan that he made on this Fall quarter’s marketing plan.”
Xi Men gets up from his seat and goes up to stand in front of the big screen.
Xi Men: “Good morning everyone. I’m sure I don’t need to inform everyone how important a company’s marketing plan is. But for the marketing concept, I only have a very simple explanation. (pause) A good marketing plan all comes from a good attitude towards the customers.”
Xi Men nods at his assistant and his assistant starts the presentation up on the screen behind Xi Men.
Xi Men (turning to point to the screen): “This is my 2002 Fall Quarter Market plan that I’m going to present to all of you in this meeting. First let’s take a look at the first slide. This is our 2002 Fall Quarter report.”
Xi Men’s dad is not paying attention to what Xi Men is saying. He is looking around at the other people that is in the room.
Xi Men: “Here we can see the difference between the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter.”
Xi Men’s voice then trails off with the continuation of the presentation. In the middle of the presentation, Xi Men’s dad suddenly stands up and leaves the room.
Xi Men (still continuing with his presentation): “So, I believe that if we follow this plan of mine, then we can definitely…” (Xi Men sees his dad getting up and pauses, looking a little disappointed.)
After the presentation, Xi Men was cleaning up the papers with his assistant sitting next to him. The assistant stares at Xi Men not saying a thing.
Xi Men (feeling his stare, turns to him): “What’s wrong?”
Assistant: “Manager, no matter what, please let me follow you.”
Xi Men: “Thank you for your kindness. But I can’t accept that. Anyway, just do your best. I hope that after I leave this office, I can still come back and see you.”
Assistant: “But...”
At this moment, a voice comes over the loudspeaker.
Loudspeaker: “Xi Men Manager, please go to the general manager’s office.”
Xi Men (after hearing the announcement, gets up from his seat): “If you need to face it, then face it.”
Xi Men leaves the conference room and heads over to the general manager’s office. Upon opening the door, he walks into the office.
Xi Men: “Uncle.”
Uncle (clapping his hands): “That was very well done, Xi Men.”
Xi Men (smiling): “Uncle, aren’t you over praising me?”
Uncle: “No, no, no. Ever word that Uncle said is true. It was definitely very well done. No wonder early this morning the President was in such a hurry to call me and said that he spent the whole night looking over your plan. He was admiring it very much and kept on saying good. (Xi Men’s smile disappeared from his face as he listens to this.) But he was afraid that because he loves his son, he might be biased toward the plan. So that’s why he told me to set up this meeting today. He was so nervous over your presentation that he delayed his flight to Singapore. (Xi Men is looking very touched.) After he heard half of the presentation and saw the satisfied look on all the managers’ faces in the room, then, was he at ease to go catch his flight. On his way, he even gave me a call and told me to tell you something. He wanted me to say 5 words to you: ‘Do the best you can.’”
Xi Men stood there next to the Uncle, listening and not knowing what to say.
Back at Dao Ming Si’s apartment, he is sleeping and dreaming about Sha Ge and Ye Sha back at the winery. When he wakes up, he sat on the bed for a couple of minutes. Then he sees the phone and gets up to pick it up and dials a number. But the number he dialed just kept on ringing and ringing.
Dao Ming Si: “Sha Ge pick up the phone. (more ringing) Pick up the phone! (no answer and Dao Ming Si gets impatient) PICK UP THE PHONE!”
When there was still no answer, he hung up and then just lay there on the floor.
At the Orange Café, Dao Ming Si is helping to open up shop, but he is not really in a good mood. In the middle of flipping all the chairs back on the floor, he sits down on one and just stares off into space. Ah Lun, after cleaning the counter, comes over to help with the chairs.
Ah Lun (pokes Dao Ming Si to get him moving): “It’s very late. Hurry. Customers should be coming soon.”
Dao Ming Si gets up and continues putting the chairs down. Then Ah Lun asks Dao Ming Si to clean the tables, and he walks around like a zombie with no expression on his face. Once the shop opened, lots of customers came in. When a table clears, Ah Lun runs over to pick up all the dirty plates then brings it toward the back. Dao Ming Si is slowly bringing a plate of food to a customer. At this moment, a guy walks in to the café and over to a table.
Guy (standing beside the dirty table, turns to Dao Ming Si): “Mr. Can you please clean this table for me?”
The guy then sits down at the table. Dao Ming Si picks up all the dirty plates and was going to bring it to the back when the guy calls out to his back.
Guy: “Hey, the table has not been wiped yet.”
Dao Ming Si backs up a little and throws the towel down on the table.
Dao Ming Si: “Wipe it yourself.”
The customer gets mad and stands up.
Guy (loudly): “Aye! What kind of attitude is that?”
Ah Lun quickly runs over to calm the customer down.
Ah Lun: “Sorry, sorry, sorry. Very sorry. (guy slowly sits down) Sit, sit. (he starts wiping the table) In our shop, cleaning the table is the boss’s job. He doesn’t know how to do it. Very sorry. I’ll take your order for you. Don’t be mad ok? What would you like to have today?”
Da Xin sees this and goes over to pull Dao Ming Si into the storage room in the back. He pushes Dao Ming Si into the room. Dao Ming Si rights himself and tries to walk back out, but Da Xin holds onto his arm as he was walking by. Dao Ming Si gets angry and pushes Da Xin aside.
Dao Ming Si (angry): “What are you doing?”
Da Xin: “You really don’t have any gratitude.”
Dao Ming Si: “What do you mean no gratitude!”
Da Xin: “That’s what I mean, no gratitude. Why did you throw a temper at Ah Lun’s customer? Was it Ah Lun that forced Ye Sha to leave or was it the customer? Don’t you feel that what you did was very selfish?”
Dao Ming Si is looking at Da Xin with an angry face.
Da Xin: “What? Do you want to fight? Come on. If you have the guts, then take it out on me. Don’t take it out on our breakfast shop.”
Dao Ming Si suddenly pushes Da Xin and he fell against all the boxes on the side. Da Xin then takes one of the boxes and throws it at Dao Ming Si. They started grabbing at each around the neck and Dao Ming Si pushes Da Xin against a rack on the side of the wall where all the extra glasses and plates were placed. Da Xin slams into the rack and knocks down all the plates and glasses. He then falls to the floor and sits there looking at Dao Ming Si. Dao Ming Si is standing on the side, breathing hard and staring down at the floor. Da Xin slowly gets up and kneeling on the floor, starts to pick up all the plates and cups that fell.
Da Xin (talking as he is cleaning up): “Do you know the reason why every morning we call out, ‘welcome, thank you for coming’, working so hard, weighing all our petty little gains and losses from this little shop?”
Dao Ming Si slowly kneels on the floor to help clean up too.
Da Xin: “We always think that being able to see the sunrise every morning is a very lucky thing. If three people around the world, can say good morning to the sunrise at the same time, that is the most luckiest thing ever. The three of us agreed, to go to the other places in this world and see all the different types of sunrises, listen to all the different types of sounds of good morning. (pause) Because of this thinking, Ah Lun took his father’s insurance money and opened this shop. (pause) We never thought about making big money. We just want to make this dream come true.”
Dao Ming Si stops picking up the stuff and sits on a chair on the side. Da Xin also stops picking up the things and sits down next to Dao Ming Si.
Da Xin: “I know you don’t want to listen to my words but it’s all the truth. I also know that after hearing these words, you would feel bad. (pause) But we are very worried. We don’t know how to help you. (pause) Yesterday we already went out with you to drink, but it’s all useless. (pause) Think of a way to make yourself feel better, feel happier. (pause) If you have the guts… if you have the guts, then go bring her back.”
Dao Ming Si slowly starts to turn his head toward Da Xin’s direction after hearing that last sentence to look at Da Xin.
Da Xin: “Did I say something wrong?”
Dao Ming Si doesn’t answer and gives Da Xin all the stuff that he was holding, then quickly runs out of the storage room.
He makes his way to the phone and is speaking to someone.
Dao Ming Si (on phone): “There’s nothing tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? Ok… thank you, thank you. (pause) There’s nothing the day after tomorrow too? Why isn’t there any… It’s the peak season now? Who cares about peak season?! (pause) No, that’s not it… well, then is there any seats left in the back? Can you please check for me? Thank you. (pause) The next, next day has one? (happy tone) Good! Then I want that one.”
Yi Ling is standing aside, counting money and listening in to Dao Ming Si’s phone call.
Dao Ming Si: “Can I reserve it first? (pause) I can’t? Why? (pause) You need $40,000?!”
Ah Lun is bringing a dirty dish to the counter and also hears the phone conversation.
Dao Ming Si: “Up front? (pause) Ok, thank you.”
Da Xin also came up to the counter and he sighs loudly behind Ah Lun. Dao Ming Si hangs up the phone, mumbling $40,000.
Da Xin, Yi Ling and Ah Lun is all sitting around a table. Yi Ling is counting money and Ah Lun is writing something in a book.
Yi Ling (counting softly): “37, 38, 39, 40.”
After counting she puts the money into an envelope. Dao Ming Si slowly walks up to the three of them, while they were whispering to each other. Dao Ming Si clears his throat slightly. Ah Lun looks up and sees him standing there, quickly reaches over and takes the envelope of money out of Yi Ling’s hands and hides it behind his back.
Dao Ming Si: “I only want to ask you guys, if you know of any way that can make $40,000 in 2 hours?”
Ah Lun (looking away): “There is no way to make $40,000 in 2 hours. (pause) But…”
He takes the envelope of money from behind his back, looks at it and then gets up and stuffs the money into the pocket in Dao Ming Si’s apron. Dao Ming Si looks over at Ah Lun.
Ah Lun: “Aye, this is to lend to you. You have to return it. (turns to face Yi Ling and Da Xin) If it wasn’t because of these two…”
Dao Ming Si happily grabs Ah Lun around the waist, picks him up and spins around with Ah Lun.
Dao Ming Si (happily spinning): “Thank you!”
Yi Ling and Da Xin also happily stands up. Dao Ming Si lets Ah Lun go and gives Yi Ling a hug.
Ah Lun (trying to pull Dao Ming Si away): “Hey, hey, what are you doing? Borrowing money from me and want to hug my treasure too?”
Yi Ling: “What’s the big deal? It’s just a little hug.”
Da Xin (playing around, puts his arms around Yi Ling): “I’ll help Ah Si hug her.”
Ah Lun (hitting Da Xin arms): “Go away!”
Da Xin: “I’m just helping Ah Si to hug her, that’s all.”
Yi Ling (squeezed between Da Xin & Ah Lun): “Ok, you two…”
Da Xin & Ah Lun (seeing someone walk into the shop): “Welcome!”
It is Dao Ming Feng’s personal assistant, Yu Tian. He walks up to Dao Ming Si with a smile on his face.
Ah Lun: “Sorry, Mr. but we are closed now.”
Yu Tian (standing in front of Dao Ming Si): “Master. Master, I am your mother, Madam Dao Ming’s personal assistant. Madam asked me to come over and see how Master is doing. (Dao Ming Si looks at him.) Master, you must be surprised over my abruptness here. Please accept my apologies. But Madam is really worried about your conditions now. She has been searching everywhere to find information about you. (pause) She wants to see you. (pause) I know that you must be really worried about Miss Ye Sha’s whereabouts. (pause) But Miss Ye Sha has not left Taiwan yet. (Dao Ming Si turns to look at him in surprise.) To find Miss Ye Sha is not a difficult job for Madam – if only Master would ask. Master, I have said the words that Madam wanted me to say, I’ll be leaving now. (looking at Da Xin, Ah Lun & Yi Ling) I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll be on my way now.”
He bows and then leaves the shop.
Da Xin & Ah Lun (standing there shocked): “Thank you for coming.”
Da Xin (turns to Dao Ming Si): “Master?”
Ah Lun (looks at Dao Ming Si): “Who are you exactly?”
At a patient’s room in a hospital, Ye Sha slowly wakes up.
Nurse: “Are you feeling a little better today?”
Ye Sha nods her head and gives a little smile.
Nurse: “Your body check examination report has not come out yet. You should rest during these couple of days and don’t move around too much.”
The nurse leaves and Sha Ge comes in with flowers.
Sha Ge (sitting down on the side of the bed): “This hospital doesn’t have any concepts. How can Ye Sha’s room be so empty, without even one flower?”
Ye Sha (smiles): “Not only does it not have any concepts, but the doctors here are all so ugly.”
Sha Ge: “Then it’s their luck that you are so pretty.”
Ye Sha laughs and hugs him, “Good thing you are here. I really missed you.”
Sha Ge: “Me too.”
Back at Dao Ming Si’s mansion, Butler Lau is on the phone.
Butler: “What? Yes, Ok, good… I will be out right away.”
He hangs up the phone and quickly walks out. At the front entrance of the house, Butler Lau is standing by the door, with 4 servants each lining up on the side. Dao Ming Si walks up to the entrance.
Butler: “Master, you have finally come back. Welcome master.”
All the servants standing on the side bows: “Welcome Master.”
Dao Ming Si (looks at Butler): “I want to see my mom.”
Butler (turns to two servants): “Hurry up and go get Madam.”
The two servants quickly walks away and Dao Ming Si slowly walks into the house. As the two servants were running up the stairs, Dao Ming Feng was coming down from the upstairs staircase. She stops when she gets to the balcony of the second landing.
Dao Ming Feng: “Ah Si, you’ve finally come home.”
Dao Ming Si stops walking and looks up at his mom.
Dao Ming Feng: “Butler Lau, bring Master to his room to rest.”
Butler: “Yes. Master this way.”
Dao Ming Si: “No need. (looks at his mom) I only have one request.”
Dao Ming Si and his mom are standing inside a room.
Dao Ming Feng: “To find a person is not a difficult task for our Dao Ming family. I definitely can help you find Ye Sha back.”
Dao Ming Si: “You are really that certain that you can do it?”
Dao Ming Feng: “I have all the information from Taiwan’s customs regarding the people that departs the country everyday. It’s very obvious that Ye Sha did not leave Taiwan. From this point, you should be able to trust my ability, right?”
Dao Ming Si: “Ye Sha really didn’t leave?”
Dao Ming Feng: “Trust me Ah Si. I definitely can help you find Ye Sha. But, I have one condition. (she turns to look straight at Dao Ming Si) Come home, Ah Si.”
Dao Ming Si: “Whenever you find Ye Sha, then that’s the time that I’ll come back.”
Dao Ming Feng (crosses her arms): “Ok. Then let’s set a time limit for one week.”
Dao Ming Si: “Ok. I will come back to find you in one week.”
After that Dao Ming Si leaves and Dao Ming Feng takes out her cell phone and calls her personal assistant, Yu Tian.
Dao Ming Feng: “Yu Tian, you only have one week’s time.”
That night, San Cai is waiting for Dao Ming Si outside his apartment. She is sitting on the ground with her knees up. A tin box is on her knees and her head is resting on her arms, sleeping. Dao Ming Si comes home and finds her there. He slowly walks up to her and clears his throat lightly to wake her up. San Cai wakes up, a little surprised.
San Cai (still sitting on the ground): “Sorry, I actually fell asleep. I was only worried about you. It’s good that you are back. I’ll be leaving now.”
She gets up and the tin box falls to the ground at her feet. San Cai kneels down and started picking up the things that had fallen out of the box. Dao Ming Si also kneels down to help her. He picks up the red tag that F4 uses to put in people’s lockers. He looked at it for a bit and then hands it back to San Cai. She slowly reaches out to take the red tag from him.
San Cai (looking at the red tag): “It’s all because of this red tag that we became enemies. And then from enemies, we became…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but just puts the red tag back inside the tin box. She then stands up with the box in her hands.
San Cai: “Inside this box there are a lot of things that represent our past. Actually, I have already thought about it. To you, this past is not important anymore. But I really want you to please give it another try. (she slowly holds the box out to Dao Ming Si) After you have seen these memories and you still decide to live the present you, then at least, I would be willing to accept it. Dao Ming Si, can you please just take a look at them?”
Dao Ming Si doesn’t answer and doesn’t look at San Cai. San Cai then shoves the box into his hands.
San Cai: “It doesn’t matter. I beg you. (she turns to pick up her backpack from the ground) Goodbye.”
As San Cai is walking by Dao Ming Si, he calls out to her.
Dao Ming Si: “Hey. (San Cai stops walking.) Come in.”
Dao Ming Si then walks over to open the door and San Cai follows him into the apartment. They go upstairs and San Cai sits down on the sofa while Dao Ming Si walks around the room, restlessly. There is a little table off to the side of where San Cai is sitting. On top of the table are a whole bunch of things that reminds Dao Ming Si of Ye Sha. There’s the picture of her back that she left behind on the wall, the note that was attached to the picture that said ‘take care’, the lucky charm that she got Dao Ming Si from the temple, the notes that he put up all around the apartment on Valentine’s Day when he made her dinner to thank her, and also the coconut lantern. After a while, Dao Ming Si finally stops walking and sits down on the seat opposite to San Cai. He slowly pushes the tin box across the table back in front of San Cai.
Dao Ming Si: “These are all your memories. (he turns to look over at the little table on the side) That is all of my memories.”
San Cai turns her head and looks at the little table.
Dao Ming Si: “San Cai.”
She slowly turns back to look at him.
Dao Ming Si (looks away from San Cai): “I only want to let you know that I don’t want to hurt you. (pause, looking over at the little table again) But I only have these memories left in my head right now. (he turns back to look at San Cai) So, I can only say to you that… (he looks away again) I’m sorry.”
San Cai: “It’s not like that. (she looks down at the box) All the things inside this box is also yours. (looks back at Dao Ming Si) Dao Ming Si, you can like everything that you have now but you cannot deny everything that happened in the past. Can you please try again? Maybe the things that are inside this box can help you wake up your sleeping memories.”
Dao Ming Si (slowly turns to look at San Cai): “What happens if it will never wake up? (pause) Then shouldn’t you also try to wake up?”
San Cai hears his words and looks away from him, trying to control the tears that are starting to fall.
San Cai: “This is so unfair.”
San Cai opens up the box and pushes it back to Dao Ming Si.
San Cai: “If you don’t open the box, then of course, they will be forgotten. Maybe forgetting them, to you, is not such a big deal, but at least, you can try to get to know me again.”
San Cai suddenly stands up and Dao Ming Si looks over at her.
San Cai: “Hi Dao Ming Si. I am San Cai. San Cai is a type of weed. It is those that even if someone steps on it, tomorrow it will continue to grow. So, I am the type of person that would definitely not give in to unfair comprises. That’s it for today. See you tomorrow.”
After saying those words, San Cai picks up her backpack and quickly walks out. Outside the apartment, after closing the gate, San Cai leans against the side of the wall, hugging her backpack to herself, with her head down, crying. At this time she remembers the words that Lei spoke to her when they were sitting on the ledge of the little arch bridge in the park.
Lei: “Ah Si forgot today. Who knows which day he will remember everything. San Cai, there are still a lot of tomorrows in this world that are waiting for you.”
San Cai calms herself down and stops crying.
San Cai (speaking to herself): “Lei is right. Maybe tomorrow, Dao Ming Si will remember again. (speaking in a firmer tone) Dao Ming Si will definitely remember tomorrow.”
She wipes her tears and walks away.
Next morning Ye Sha and Sha Ge is at the hospital sitting and talking in front of a lake.
Sha Ge (sitting down next to Ye Sha): “Wait a minute, let me simplified what you just told me. You fell in love with him. Ah Sing also loves you. And then because of this girl, San Cai, you decide to step away. (pause, sighing) Ye Sha, I just don’t understand why you have to put yourself in all this grief.”
Ye Sha: “If it wasn’t because Ah Sing and I got into a car accident, he and San Cai should be a very happy couple. San Cai is the one that is feeling all the grief.”
Sha Ge: “So now you are returning him to her, but will Ah Sing be happy? He has forgotten about San Cai already. The person he loves is you and you love him. If you do this, won’t everybody be in pain?”
Ye Sha: “But the fact that Ah Sing loves me will bring him pain later on anyway. Isn’t that right?”
At this moment a nurse comes up to Ye Sha and Sha Ge.
Nurse: “Miss Ye Sha, the director would like to see you in his office.”
Ye Sha and Sha Ge is sitting across from the doctor in his office.
Doctor: “Miss Ye Sha, from the report of your body check examination, we find that you suffer from a disease that has to do with your immune system. The medical term is called ‘Duo Fa Xing Ying Hua Zheng.’”
Ye Sha: “Duo Fa Xing Ying Hua Zheng?”
Sha Ge: “Doctor, what does that mean?”
Doctor: “It is a very rare disease. The symptoms are very difficult to grasp and there are also many different types. It can damage your nerve endings and muscles until they wither/shrivel and you are paralyzed. It can also damage your brain nerves and your eyesight. But it would all depend on each individual’s illness conditions. And within the medical world now, the only thing you can do is to have a bone marrow transplant or else, there’s no medicine that can treat it.”
Ye Sha has been silent all along when the doctor is explaining all this.
Ye Sha (finally breaking her silence): “So what you mean is that I would remain lying on a bed forever or become blind?”
Doctor: “That’s right.”
Sha Ge: “Doctor, so what you mean is that if she have the bone marrow transplant operation then she will be ok? Then I’ll do it. I’ll give mine to Ye Sha.”
Doctor: “The problem is that to find a marrow that is suitable is not that easy. And even if the marrow transplant is implemented, her chance of a full recovery is limited.”
Ye Sha: “Then when would I start to lose my sight? When would I start to not be able to move? How much time do I have left?”
Doctor: “From the looks of your illness now and the rate that it is developing, there’s approximately 3 months.”
Ye Sha is sitting there shocked with tears rolling down her face and Sha Ge is starting to cry next to her.
That night, Sha Ge is sleeping on the sofa of Ye Sha’s hospital room. He wakes up to find her gone from the bed. She couldn’t sleep and was standing by the window staring out. He slowly walks up to her.
Sha Ge: “You’re awake.”
Ye Sha (turning to look at him): “Sha Ge, I want to leave the hospital.”
Sha Ge: “Ye Sha.”
Ye Sha: “I don’t want to waste my life. Sha Ge, you understand me the most. I don’t have much time left. How can I stay here? I want to go travel around the world. I want to see the whole world, remember it, draw it. (she walks over to sit down next to the bed as she was talking) Before I go blind, before I can’t move, I want to live happily. (turns to look at Sha Ge) Sha Ge, I want to leave the hospital.”
Sha Ge is standing with his back to Ye Sha and crying.
Sha Ge (crying): “Ok. We will leave the hospital tomorrow. We will go travel around the world tomorrow.”
Ye Sha stands up and goes up to Sha Ge and hugs him from the back.
Ye Sha: “Sha Ge is the best. (with her head resting on his back) Sha Ge you are the best.”
At the Dao Ming mansion, Yu Tian and Dao Ming Feng is in the living room. Yu Tian is standing next to Dao Ming Feng, who is sitting on the sofa.
Yu Tian: “Madam, so that’s why it was so hard for us to find information about this Miss Ye Sha before. It is because she’s not an ordinary person.”
Dao Ming Feng: “So, now you have all the information that you need?”
Yu Tian (bowing): “Yes, madam.”
Outside Dao Ming Si’s apartment, San Cai is standing there with a whole bunch of red balloons. She calls out to him from below to get his attention.
San Cai: “Dao Ming Si!”
Dao Ming Si is standing on the balcony of the apartment when San Cai started letting go of the red balloons one by one. He stood by the edge of the balcony and looked down at San Cai letting go of the balloons. As one of the balloons flies by him, he reaches out and grabs onto it for a few seconds, then lets it go. When San Cai has let the last balloon go, she stood there and looked up at Dao Ming Si.
San Cai (thinking to herself): “Dao Ming Si, I really miss you. I really, really miss you. You are right in front of my eyes, but why do I still feel that I miss you even more?”
San Cai then slowly turns and walks away. Dao Ming Si stares after her disappearing back and as he continued to stand there, an image of himself holding a whole bunch of balloons in Barcelona floated across his mind. He saw the balloons that he was holding flying away and he saw himself frantically searching for something. As those images flooded into his mind, he grabs his head with his right hand as though in pain. After a few seconds, he looks up and sees a red balloon caught in some sort of net. He slowly walks over to get it. Once he had it in his hand, he turns and looks up at the other balloons that are becoming smaller and smaller up in the sky. Then he slowly looks back at the balloon in his hand and walks back into the apartment with it.
