Summary of MG2 Episode 17: 

At the Dao Ming mansion, Dao Ming Feng and Ye Sha are still continuing with their discussion.

Dao Ming Feng: “This is the only chance that I will give San Cai.  You would understand.  (she walks over to sit down on the sofa)  With San Cai’s status and background, she definitely cannot come into the Dao Ming family.  But if you are willing to get engaged with Ah Si, of course, it’s in name only, I can make an exception and let San Cai get in contact with Ah Si.  At that time, I can get what I want and maybe San Cai can also get what she wants.  And of course, that would also include your imperial family.”

Ye Sha: “What does that mean?”

Dao Ming Feng: “Your country’s financial difficulties are no longer a secret in this world.  I believe your father and your country’s king should be very pleased to be able to work with Dao Ming Corporation, no?”

Ye Sha: “What if I still don’t agree to it?”

Dao Ming Feng (has an angry look on her face): “Then San Cai can forget about seeing Ah Si during this lifetime!”

Ye Sha turns suddenly to look at Dao Ming Feng at that threat.

Dao Ming Feng: “It’s no rush.  Miss Ye Sha, you can still think it over slowly.  It’s all up to you, if you have the heart to be a disobedient daughter or to be the person that destroys San Cai’s last hope for happiness with your own hands.”

Ye Sha: “Three months.  I’ll give you 3 months time.  After the 3 months, I will cancel the engagement with Ah Si and you will agree to let him be with San Cai.”

Dao Ming Feng: “I cannot guarantee to that.  The only thing I can give San Cai is a chance.  The final decision is all up to Ah Si himself.”

Ye Sha: “The least you can do is to arrange for them to see each other everyday.”

Dao Ming Feng: “Then you will also have to guarantee to me that, within these 3 months, you will not leave Dao Ming family and also cannot tell anyone about our conversation today.”

Ye Sha: “Rest assured.  This kind of deceiving people, playing with other people’s feelings shameful matter, is not a type of splendor to be said out loud.  (pause)  Then may I be excused now, Dao Ming Madam?”

Dao Ming Feng (speaking to Yu Tian): “Tell the Butler to come and bring Miss Ye Sha to her room to rest.”

Yu Tian (bowing): “Yes.”

Ye Sha slowly follows Yu Tian, but stops in the middle of her stride toward the door.

Ye Sha (with her back to Dao Ming Feng): “I finally understand why Ah Si doesn’t want to come home.  Because his whole life of happiness is only a tool that his selfish mother uses to seek the dream of power.”

Dao Ming Feng (forces a smile on her face): “I am very happy to be able to work with you, Ye Sha Princess, Your Excellency.”

Ye Sha walks out of the room and Yu Tian walks over to Dao Ming Feng.

Yu Tian: “Madam, 3 months time might be a little short.”

Dao Ming Feng (crosses her arms): “If it’s to increase Dao Ming family’s prestige, then I might not have much assurance.  But, in 3 months, to plan Ah Si and Ye Sha’s wedding then there’s ample enough time.”

Yu Tian: “But Miss Ye Sha might not agree to it.”

Dao Ming Feng: “She will.  (pause)  Because she really has fallen in love with Ah Si.  She probably never would have thought that the words that she just used to harm me, would in turn be against her.”

Yu Tian: “So Madam is only just using San Cai to discharge Miss Ye Sha.”

Dao Ming Feng: “It doesn’t matter if Ah Si will come around to the correct way of thinking.  A weed is always a weed.  And can only be stepped upon on the ground by people.”

San Cai is walking around, holding the tin box in her hands and not paying much attention to where she’s going.  She was thinking so hard that she suddenly drops the box to the ground.  She stood there staring at the box for a couple of seconds before bending down and picking all the things up. 

Meanwhile, Qing He and Mimi is at a park setting out to have a picnic.  Qing He is standing aside while Mimi is spreading the blanket out.

Mimi (getting a can of Pepsi): “Qing He Senior, sit.”

Qing He: “Oh.”

Mimi kneels down on her knees on the blanket and gets the basket with the food.  Qing He is looking around at the blanket, not sure how to sit down.  So, finally he gets up and brings a little chair over and sets that on the blanket to sit.

Mimi (starts taking out the containers with the food from the basket): “Senior, are you hungry?  Today I’ve made ‘Ai Xin’ sandwiches, sweet frozen fruit, and a chocolate cake.  What do you want to eat first?”

Qing He (points around to all the food and speaks with an incredulous tone): “You made these all by yourself?”

Mimi: “Right.  Please give it a try.  If it doesn’t suit your taste, then I’ll try harder to change it next time.”

Qing He (hesitant): “Oh, I’m sure it’s ok.”

Qing He looks around at all the containers and then points to a box.

Qing He: “I’ll try that first.”

Mimi (picks up the container and holds it out for him): “Oh, Senior, please.”

Qing He reaches inside the container for a sandwich.  He takes it out, smells it, takes a bite and starts chewing.  Mimi is looking at him to see what sort of reaction he might have. 

Qing He (after swallowing): “Wow, this is really good.”

Mimi (pleased): “Really? (she gets a tall glass with a straw and pours some Pepsi into it)  If you have this with it, then it would be very good.  (she hands him the drink)  I always eat like this too.”

Qing He (reaches for the drink): “Oh.”

Qing He takes a sip and finishes up his sandwich while Mimi just looks at him happily.  After he finishes eating, he looks down at the container with the sandwiches again.

Qing He: “May I have another one?”

Mimi (reaches for the container and holds it out): “Oh, just as long as Senior likes it, then I will prepare it for Senior everyday.”

Qing He (taking a sandwich): “Good.  Good.  Mimi, you eat too.”

Mimi: “Ok, Senior.”

She pours herself another glass of Pepsi and looks at Qing He while she’s drinking.  Qing He, with a sandwich in one hand and a glass of Pepsi in the other hand, chewing, suddenly wipes his forehead and looks up.

Qing He: “Why is there water?”

Mimi (looking up at the sky): “Senior, is it about to start raining?”

Qing He (looking at Mimi): “How can that be?  The weather said there would be no rain today.”

As soon as he finishes his sentence, it started raining.

Mimi (puts down her Pepsi and holds up her hand in an effort to block the pelting rain): “Senior.  It’s raining.”

Qing He and Mimi is standing underneath a tree with the picnic blanket covering their heads.

Qing He: “What kind of place is this?  There’s not even a covering to hide from the rain.”

Mimi: “Right, Senior.  This is really bad.  I am soaked through from the inside out.  What are we going to do?”

Qing He: “How am I suppose to know what to do?  I’m also soaked through from the inside out.”

Mimi thinks for awhile and then makes a suggestion shyly.

Mimi: “Then Senior, shouldn’t we find a place and take these wet clothes off?”

Qing He (turning to Mimi): “Right!  We should find a place immediately and take off these clothes.”

Mimi (with a shy look): “Find a place and take off these clothes?”

Qing He (grabbing Mimi’s hands and pulling her along): “Let’s go.”

Qing He and Mimi, both are wrapped in some sort of big towel, is sitting at a Laundromat, bare feet, waiting for their clothes to dry in the dryer.  All the while that they were sitting there, Mimi kept on sneaking little shy peaks in Qing He’s direction.  After they got their clothes back, they were walking in the street.

Qing He: “Why do you keep staring at me like that?”

Mimi: “Qing He Senior, I… feel very touched.”

Qing He: “What’s there to be touched about getting soaked all of a sudden?”

Mimi: “My dad said that a guy who can overcome a hardship of natural disasters and still can resist a powerful temptation, then that guy is definitely a guy that one can have faith and trust in.  Qing He Senior, after everything that has just happened, I can absolutely guarantee that you are a good guy.”

Qing He (confused): “Overcome a hardship of natural disaster?  (thinking)  I think that did happen.  But where’s the resistance of a powerful temptation?”

He doesn’t understand, shrugs his shoulder and keeps on walking.  Mimi smiles slightly and follows him.

At the Orange Café, Dao Ming Si, Yi Ling, Ah Lun and Da Xin are sitting around a table while it was raining very hard outside.

Da Xin: “Amnesia?  No wonder sometimes you are called Ah Sing, then called Dao Ming Si, and then called Master.  But then what should we call you from now on?”

Dao Ming Si: “It doesn’t matter what I am called, I am still me.”

Ah Lun: “Then when your mom finds Ye Sha, you will have to go back to your old world?”

Dao Ming Si: “It doesn’t matter where I go, we will always be friends.”

Dao Ming Si is riding his bike home and he sees Butler Lau waiting beside a car. 

Butler (holds out his arms to stop the bicycle): “Master.  Master.”

Dao Ming Si (stops his bicycle): “What do you want?”

Butler (standing very straight): “Madam told me to come and bring you back.”

Dao Ming Si (gets off his bicycle): “There’s no need.  When it’s time to go back, then I’ll go back.”

Butler (holds onto Dao Ming Si): “Master.  (he quickly lets Dao Ming Si go)  Reporting to you.  Madam and Miss Ye Sha is waiting for you at home.”

Dao Ming Si stands there for a couple of seconds, then looks over at the Butler.  The Butler holds out his arm to show Dao Ming Si to the car.  Dao Ming Si then grabs his bag from the basket in front of the bicycle and gets into the car.

When they get to the mansion, Butler Lau is showing Dao Ming Si to the room where Ye Sha is.  The Butler knocks on the door for an answer but Dao Ming Si just rushes straight into the room instead.  He opens the door and Ye Sha turns around from where she was standing near the window.  Dao Ming Si sees Ye Sha and runs to her happily.

Dao Ming Si: “Ye Sha!”

Dao Ming Feng and Yu Tian walks into the room behind Dao Ming Si.

Dao Ming Si (happy, standing in front of Ye Sha): “My mom really did find you!  She didn’t lie to me!  She really did find you!”

Dao Ming Feng: “Ah Si.  (she walks up to Dao Ming Si and Ye Sha)  Mommy has finally looked forward to your return.”

Dao Ming Si: “I should thank you.  You really do have the ability.”

Dao Ming Feng: “I told you I would absolutely not let you be disappointed.  Moreover, in order to welcome you back, Mommy will give you a present.”

Dao Ming Si: “There’s no need.  (looks at Ye Sha)  There’s nothing else I would need.”

Dao Ming Feng (smiling): “Except for an engagement ceremony.”

Dao Ming Si (his head swivels around to look at her quickly): “What did you say?”

Dao Ming Feng: “Sorry, Mommy did not ask for your agreement first and proposed to Ye Sha for you.  But I believe that you would definitely not blame me because Ye Sha has already agreed to it.”

Dao Ming Si quickly looks over at Ye Sha, surprised.

Dao Ming Feng: “I believe that all the questions you want to ask, we can have Ye Sha slowly explain everything to you.  Because Mommy is busy with handling your party.  After all, Dao Ming family and Bu Dan Kingdom becoming in-laws,  (Dao Ming Si looks over at his mom in shock) the ceremony cannot be too simple.”

Dao Ming Si turns back to stare at Ye Sha with a look filled with questions on his face.  Ye Sha just looks back at him with a smile on her face.

Dao Ming Feng: “Ye Sha, do you think I’m right?”

Ye Sha looks over at Dao Ming Feng with a smile and then Dao Ming Feng turns around and leaves the room.

Outside the room, Yu Tian is waiting for Dao Ming Feng.

Yu Tian (bowing): “Madam.”

Dao Ming Feng (closing the door and turns to Yu Tian): “Watch them carefully for me.  Especially Ye Sha.  I will absolutely not allow any mistakes to happen before the engagement ceremony.  Understood?”

Yu Tian (bowing): “Yes.”

Dao Ming Feng then walks away with Yu Tian looking at the closed door with his hands behind his back.

Inside the room, Dao Ming Si and Ye Sha is still standing near the window.  Ye Sha is staring out the window and Dao Ming Si is standing beside her, looking at her.

Dao Ming Si: “Ye Sha.  Exactly what is this all about?  Why did my mom say that you are…”

Ye Sha (turns her head to look at him): “Sorry, Ah Si.  I lied to you.  (turns back to look out the window)  The king who is on the throne of Bu Dan Kingdom is my dad’s brother and also my uncle.  I was brought up under the rules of the imperial family and was always made to act out the character of a good princess.  I hated this kind of disguise.  And hated the bindings that came with this kind of disguise even more.  (pause)  So two years ago, I ran away.  I wish to use my own self to learn about this world.”

Dao Ming Si (thinking): “No wonder you never talked about your relatives.  (pause)  Moreover, you hated people who use force and power against you.  (pause)  No wonder you like to leave without a word.  You didn’t want anybody to know about your identity.”

Ye Sha: “Only Sha Ge knows.  My things, Sha Ge knows all about it.”

Dao Ming Si: “If that is the case, then you shouldn’t have come back.  Even if my mom found you, she…  (pause)  My mom forced you, is that right?”

Dao Ming Si roughly grabs Ye Sha’s arm and turns her to face him.

Dao Ming Si: “She wanted me to come back, so she blackmailed you to marry me, right?  (no answer from Ye Sha)  Right?”

Ye Sha (looks at Dao Ming Si straight in the eyes): “She did blackmail me.  She used you to blackmail me.”

Dao Ming Si (confused): “Me?”

Ye Sha (she smiles slightly): “You still don’t understand, dummy?  She used your whole life’s happiness to blackmail me.  So you tell me, how can I not accept?”

Dao Ming Si looks at her with a big smile on his face.

Back at the first apartment, Sha Ge is sitting outside the door looking very dejected and worried.

Sha Ge (talking to himself): “It’s a whole day and night already.  Ye Sha, where did you run to?  (pause)  Where else can I go to find you?”

He sits there thinking for another couple of minutes, then suddenly remembers something and jumps up to quickly close the door.

Sha Ge quickly runs back to the pastry shop to find the boss working at the shop today.

Boss: “Welcome.”

Sha Ge: “Miss, may I ask you if you have another girl that sells pastries but it’s not you?”

Boss (thinking): “Are you talking about San Cai?”

Sha Ge: “Yes, yes.  Where is she now?”

Boss: “San Cai has already left for the day.”

Sha Ge: “Left already?  Then do you have her home phone number or address?”

The boss looks at him not sure whether to tell him or not.

Sha Ge (frantically): “Please.  I really have something very urgent to find her about.  Please!”

Back at San Cai’s home, mom is cooking in the kitchen when the doorbell rings.

Mom (inside the house): “Coming!  (the buzzer keeps on going)  Ok, already!  Ok!  Who is it?”

Mom walks out with a Chinese spatula in one hand and a wok cover in the other.

Mom (calling out): “Stop the constant buzzing!  The electricity doesn’t need money?  (the buzzer keeps on going)  Ok, coming!”

Mom opens the door and finds an out of breath Sha Ge standing there.

Sha Ge (breathing very hard): “I want to ask if San Cai is here?”

Mom (looks at Sha Ge and mimics his actions, breathing hard): “She hasn’t come back yet.  May I ask who you are?”

Sha Ge (wipes his forehead): “I’m her friend.  May I ask where she went?”

Mom: “She is out on a date with her boyfriend.”

It’s night time and San Cai is still walking aimlessly on the streets.  She comes upon a glass window and sees her reflection on the window.  She walks slowly up to the window and stares at her pale, lifelessly face that’s without any expressions.

San Cai (holds up a hand slowly and waves at her reflection): “Hi.  Are you the pig head that was dumped by Dao Ming Si?  (pauses, glaring at her reflection)  Look at your ugly crying face.  How can you compare to Ye Sha?  (getting loud)  Of course he won’t want you!  (pause, still looking at her reflection)  What?  You’re not satisfied?  Come and hit me!  (starting to shout)  You come and hit me!  Hit me!”

A girl slowly walks up to San Cai.

Girl (touches her arm): “Miss, are you ok?”

San Cai (turns to look at the girl): “What?!  You also want to hit me?  (grabbing onto the girl’s arm)  Then you help me and hit me!  Hit me!”

The girl gets scared, pulls her arm from San Cai’s grasp and quickly runs away.

San Cai (thinking to herself): “Everybody thinks that I’ve gone crazy now.  Actually I really wish that I have gone crazy.  That way, I don’t have to be this clear headed now.  And also don’t have to feel how much pain my heart is feeling now.”

San Cai is walking around and around a place with lots of bamboo trees.

San Cai (still thinking to herself): “What should I do?  Pa and Ma should be home waiting for me now and waiting to hear my good news.  But if I don’t go home, then where else can I go?”

She suddenly takes out her cell phone to make a call but then stops.

San Cai (thinking): “Never mind.  (she sits down on the side of a ledge)  I shouldn’t find Lei.  Lei shouldn’t be my garbage can.”

She continues to sit there for a couple more minutes and then her cell phone started ringing.  She looks at the caller id and sees that it’s Lei calling.  Suddenly she has this really relieved look on her face as she stares at the phone.

Lei and San Cai is sitting on a big rectangular piece of stone in a park somewhere, staring up at the night sky.

San Cai (looking up at the moon): “No wonder.”

Lei (also looking up): “What?”

San Cai: “Don’t people say that a full moon will bring people together?  If I knew this early, then I wouldn’t have met with Dao Ming Si today.” 

Lei (looking straight ahead): “San Cai, if you want to cry, then cry.”

San Cai (looks at Lei and smiles): “Why didn’t you tell me to do a handstand?”

Lei: “If you want to do a handstand, then you…”

San Cai (interrupts him): “I don’t want to.  Because I don’t want to cry.  I’m annoyed, tired and sick of crying anymore.  I’ve cried so much that I hate myself.  I will not cry again.  Because crying will not help.  Not help at all.”

Lei: “San Cai, Ah Si is a broken up piece of puzzle.  Even though there are many pieces, but there are different ways to put it together.”

San Cai (looks at Lei): “Please, Lei.  I don’t want to hear anymore analysis that are related to Dao Ming Si’s way of thinking.  (pause)  The person who broke the puzzle isn’t me.  And now the person who is putting the puzzle together is also not me.  And no one even asked for my opinion on the way the puzzle used to look, no?  (she sighs)  So now, can I just do something that is not related to the puzzle?”

Lei (looks over at her): “What do you want to do?”

San Cai (shrugs): “I don’t care.”

Suddenly she thinks of something and turns to look at Lei with a smile.

San Cai: “Lei, let’s go bowling.  How about that?”

Lei (looking at her): “Why?  You don’t know how to play bowling.”

San Cai: “It’s because I don’t know, that’s why I have to learn.”

She gets off the stone ledge that they were sitting on and pulls Lei down with her.

San Cai (grabbing Lei by the arm): “Let’s go.  It’s your responsibility to teach me today.  Let’s go.”

Lei (stands there not moving): “I’m not going.”

San Cai (pulling): “I don’t care.  Let’s go.”

Lei (still not moving an inch): “San Cai.  (she stands there and lets his arm go)  Bowling is not your forte.”

San Cai (getting upset and starts to talk loudly): “So what if it’s not my forte?  If it’s not my forte then I should give up on it?  Why do all of you ask me to give up?  I’m still trying very hard!  I’m really trying very hard!  Why won’t you all give me a chance?!  Why?!”

She kneels on the ground with her arms hiding her face and resting on her knees.  Lei stands there for a few seconds then slowly kneels down next to her.

Lei: “I’m not telling you to give up.  (pause)  If this love has not ended, then you shouldn’t give up.”

San Cai (slowly raises her head): “I can’t go on anymore.  I don’t have any more strength.  I have reached the end already and can’t go on any longer.”

Lei (looks over at San Cai): “I’ll go on with you.”

San Cai (looks at Lei): “Why do you want to go on with me?  I am so annoying and heavy and continues to drag you along.  (pause)  Actually, you couldn’t go on anymore right?  You kept on comforting me, understanding me, but today, you only just sat there and didn’t say anything.  Because even you can’t move on anymore right?”

Lei doesn’t answer her.  Suddenly he just grabs her hand and pulls her up.

San Cai (being dragged behind Lei): “Where are you taking me?  Lei!”

Lei and San Cai are in a car, driving along a highway. 

San Cai (turns to look at Lei): “Where are you taking me?  (no answer)  Lei!”

Lei: “Didn’t you say that you have reached the end already?  We are now going to the end of this road.”

San Cai: “What is called the end of this road?”

Lei: “This road is very long and very straight.  I will not speed up the car but I also cannot step on the brakes.  Unless you tell me to stop.  Or else maybe we will find the end of the road.”

San Cai (loudly): “Are you nuts?!  This is very dangerous do you know?  If we continue to drive on like this, what if we hit the side of a mountain or a cliff?  We could crash and die!  Do you know?!”

Lei just looks over at her and smiles.  As Lei continues driving, San Cai looks over at him and starts having flashbacks.  She remembers the time when they set fireworks in Ying De and the time when he did a handstand in front of her after she was being harassed by the two guys that Dao Ming Si sent after her.

San Cai (looking away): “I understand.  I’m not firm enough.  I still have the energy to yell for help, so that’s why I haven’t reach the end.  (she sighs)  So, Lei.  Stop.”

Lei stopped the car somewhere and they got out and leaned against the side of the car, staring out at the scenery in front of them.

Lei (leaning against the car next to San Cai): “San Cai, do you know what that dark thing behind the light is?”

San Cai (guessing): “I think maybe it’s a mountain.”

Lei: “Then what’s behind the mountain?”

San Cai: “I don’t know.  My geography is the worst.”

Lei: “Actually it should also be light.  Is that right?”

San Cai (looks at Lei): “Right.”

She smiles at him and he smiles back.

San Cai (looking ahead again): “Lei.  I have determined on one thing.”

Lei: “What?”

San Cai: “Even though I don’t know what the end looks like, but I have determined that if I get there, you would also be there.”

San Cai slowly rests her head on Lei’s shoulder.

San Cai: “Moreover, Lei, do you know.  Actually I just want to get a good night’s sleep tonight?”

Lei smiles lightly and San Cai goes to sleep on his shoulder.

Back at San Cai’s home, Sha Ge is sitting there patiently waiting for San Cai to come home with San Cai’s parents, who are watching TV.  Both of San Cai’s parents are laughing their heads off from the TV show that they are watching.

Mom (laughing): “This is so funny.”

Dad gets up to fill his cup with water, but once Mom starts laughing again, he quickly sits back down to watch the show.

Mom (laughing and pointing to the screen): “Look at the one that’s wearing the hat, it’s so funny!”

Dad (laughing): “I love watching him!”

Mom is laughing so hard that she’s holding her tummy.  Sha Ge, sitting behind San Cai’s parents, reaches over and taps Mom on the arm.

Sha Ge: “Excuse me.  Sorry, do you know when your San Cai would back?”

Mom (laughing, waves her hand): “I don’t know.”

Sha Ge (raises his voice over their laughter): “It’s so late already.”

Mom suddenly stops laughing and looks over at Dad.

Mom: “Oh right.  It’s so late, Papa.  (she starts to laugh crazily again)  San Cai is still not back yet!  (Dad hits his hand on the table, smiling)  Then that means…”

Dad (smiling): “She won’t be back tonight!”

Mom and Dad gives each other a high five with both hands, all the while laughing.

Sha Ge (yelling): “What kind of parents are you!  Your daughter doesn’t come home for a whole night and you are this happy!”

Dad (laughing, talks to mom): “Let me tell you, this means that our San Cai and Ah Si master, is... (Mom and Dad are hitting their hands together again)  getting along very smoothly!”

Mom: “Congratulations Papa!”

Dad: “Congratulations!  Congratulations!  (picking up his cup and standing up)  I’m going to get a cup of water.”

Dad walks away saying, “Very good, very good.”

Sha Ge sits over at the seat that Dad just got up from and grabs onto Mom’s arm.

Sha Ge: “Do you know where they went to for a date?”

Mom doesn’t answer but stares at his hand which was holding onto her arm.

Sha Ge (shaking her and shouting): “DO YOU KNOW?!?!?!”

Dad turns back with his cup of water and points to Sha Ge’s hand holding onto Mom’s arm.

Dad (loudly): “I only know that you0betder let go of my wife’s arm!”

Sha Ge slowly lets go of Mom’s arm.

Dad (pointing at Sha Ge): “You, buddy, who’s face looks like a ‘ma tong.’  Hey, I’m watching TV.  Get up, get up.  (Dad tries to make Sha Ge get out of his seat)  What are you doing in my seat?”  (Note: ‘ma tong’ is a term for toilet in Chinese in the ancient times.)

Sha Ge (refusing to move): “No, I really have something urgent that I need to find San Cai.”

Dad pushes Sha Ge out of the seat all the while saying, “Get up, get up, get up.”

Dad sits back down and mom looks at Sha Ge.  Sha Ge walks around until he is sitting right in front of the TV set.

Mom: “You kept on saying very urgent, very urgent.  So what exactly is so very urgent?  You won’t say anything.”

Sha Ge suddenly remembers Ye Sha’s words saying that he can’t let San Cai know that she is still in Taiwan.  So therefore, he kept his mouth shut.

Mom: “This Mr., being a human being, you should have some sense.  If you sit here, then how can we watch TV?”

Sha Ge looks behind him at the TV and then slowly gets up to get out of the way and walks back to sit down in his original seat behind SC’s parents.

Mom: “You have to first tell us what the matter is, then we can see how urgent it is and decide if we need to phone San Cai now and ruin her happiness.”

Dad: “Right.”

Sha Ge (looks at Mom suddenly): “Phone?  San Cai has a phone?”

Dad (chokes on his water): “I think you, buddy, must be from outer space.  (mom giggles)  You don’t know that there is something called a cell phone?”

Sha Ge: “I’m such a pig head!  I really am a pig head!  Why didn’t I think of that?  (he gets up from his seat and grabs mom’s arm again)  Then can you… (mom stares at his hand and dad makes a sound, so Sha Ge quickly lets go of mom’s arm and grabs dad’s arm instead) tell me San Cai’s number?  (he shakes dad’s arm)  Can you please give me San Cai’s number?”

Dad (pulling his arm out of Sha Ge’s grasp): “Calm down a bit!  Why should I tell you?  We let you come in through our door, sit here, watch TV and wait for San Cai, we’re being very nice to you already.”

Sha Ge sits back down.

Mom: “Exactly!”

Dad: “Don’t ask for more than you can get ok?  What a weird guy.”

Mom and Dad turns back to watch TV and starts laughing again.  All of a sudden, Sha Ge starts yelling really loud.

Sha Ge: “I WANT THE PHONE NUMBER!”

Mom and Dad turns around in surprise to stare at him.  Then they look at each other.

Mom (leans toward Dad, speaking softly): “Papa.  I feel that this person is very weird.  He said that he knows San Cai and also knows Ah Si Master, but we have never heard San Cai mention him before.”

Dad: “Right.”

Mom: “Can he have some bad intentions?”

Dad (leans closer to Mom and whispers): “Let me tell you.  He looks so unreasonable/harsh.  Doesn’t look like the type that are born looking with good intentions.”

Sha Ge gets impatient and stands up and pushes Mom and Dad apart.

Sha Ge (yelling): “YOU TWO FAT ONES LISTEN CLOSELY!  I WANT THE PHONE NUMBER!”

Next scene, Sha Ge was being kicked out of San Cai’s house.  He landed on his back on the ground outside. 

Sha Ge (seating up on the ground slowly): “Believe me.  I’m not a bad person!  I don’t have any bad intentions!”

After seating there for a few seconds, he slowly gets up. 

Sha Ge (standing up): “Give me San Cai’s phone number!”

There was no answer so he starts to slowly walk back over to the house.

Sha Ge: “I beg you!  Give me San Cai’s phone number, I beg you!”

Still no answer, so he steps on some bricks and hosts himself up the wall and starts to call out toward San Cai’s home to her parents.

Sha Ge: “I beg you!  Please!  Give me San Cai’s phone number!”

When there was still no answer, Sha Ge gets down from the wall, leans against the wall and sits down on the bricks with his head down.

Morning comes and Lei slowly wakes up in the car.  He turns and sees San Cai still sleeping.  He looks at her for a few seconds and then smiles.

Sha Ge is waiting outside of the door for San Cai to come home.  Lei drives San Cai home and when they reached home, Lei got out of the car and closed the door.  When Sha Ge hears the noise, he wakes up and looks over.

Sha Ge: “You’re back!  (running over to stand in front of the car)  You’re back!”

He starts to walk over to the passenger side of the car where San Cai is still sitting.

Sha Ge (upset): “You come back now?  Did you know that I waited a whole night by your front door?”

San Cai gets out of the car and Lei walks over to stand next to her.

Sha Ge: “And how many mosquitoes I killed?”

He begins to start scratching his back.

San Cai (recognizing him): “It’s you!  How did you know where I lived?”

Lei: “San Cai, who is he?”

Sha Ge (looking at Lei): “I want to ask who YOU are.  (turns to San Cai)  Did you know that I’ve guarded a whole night, waited a whole in front of your door and in the end, what I’m waiting for is not your happiness?  (he looks at Lei, but speaking to San Cai)  Were you not on a date with Ah Si?  (points to Lei)  How did it become this buddy?  (speaking to Lei)  Who are you?”

San Cai: “What exactly are you talking about?  (pause)  Moreover, how do you know Ah Si?”

San Cai’s dad comes out to get the newspaper and sees them standing there.

Sha Ge (stuttering): “Ah… Ah Si, of course I know him.”

Dad (walks over): “Aye, San Cai.  Why are you together… (sees Sha Ge standing there) with Lei?”

Sha Ge: “Who’s Lei?”

Dad (looks at Sha Ge): “Hey, what are you doing here still?”

San Cai: “Pa, (points to Sha Ge) you know who he is?”

Dad: “How would I know?  Weren’t you the one that knows?”

San Cai: “I don’t know.  I don’t even recognize him.”

Lei (looks over at Sha Ge): “You said that you know Ah Si.”

Dad (grabs Sha Ge’s shirt in his hand): “Huh?  Is there such a thing?  Then, then you tell me.  Who are you?  What is your name?  (he starts to shake Sha Ge)  Who exactly are you?”

Sha Ge: “Actually… actually I’m Ye Sha’s friend.”

San Cai (surprised): “Ye Sha?”

Sha Ge: “San Cai, Ye Sha is missing.”

Lei, San Cai and Sha Ge is at Dao Ming Si’s apartment looking for him.

Sha Ge (yelling out): “Ah Sing!”

San Cai: “Ye Sha!”

Sha Ge (yelling out): “Ah Sing!”

San Cai (looking up): “Dao Ming Si!”

Sha Ge: “Ye Sha!  (looks at San Cai)  We are shouting this loud, they can’t not hear us.  Ah Sing!”

The three of them continue looking around the streets.

Sha Ge (looking around frantically): “There are fortune tellers here.  (looks at San Cai)  Why don’t I just get a reading first.”

San Cai (trying to calm him down): “Sha Ge, please don’t be this anxious.  Maybe Ye Sha is only…”

Lei: “I think we should go back first.  Maybe Ye Sha is already back.”

Sha Ge: “Right!”

They started walking quickly.  A big screen TV is making some sort of announcement by an announcer.

Announcer: “This is the scene of the press conference that the Dao Ming family is holding. 

Dao Ming President will be making an announcement to everyone in a little bit (San Cai, Sha Ge and Lei are running up some stairs) regarding Dao Ming Corporation’s only son.  (The 3 of them hears this and stops in their tracks)  Mr. Dao Ming with one of Bu Dan Kingdom’s imperial family member, Princess Ye Sha (San Cai turns around and stares at the big TV screen on the side of a building.) will be making an announcement on the news of their engagement.”

On the big screen TV, Dao Ming Si, dressed in a black suit and Ye Sha, dressed in a white dress is walking through a crowd of lots of reporters and audiences.  San Cai and Lei is staring at the screen in shock.  Sha Ge turns and stares at San Cai’s face then looks back at the screen.  Lei looks away and turns to San Cai to see her reaction and then looks back at screen.

At the place where the press conference is being held, Dao Ming Feng, Dao Ming Si and Ye Sha is slowly walking pass all the people that are standing there.  All the while, lights are flashing everywhere from the cameras.

Announcer: “The person on the screen now is today’s hostess and also the groom’s mother, Mrs. Dao Ming Feng.”

Yu Tian: “Thank you, thank you all.  Thank you.”

Announcer: “And the two that are next to Mrs. Dao Ming Feng is today’s male and female main characters, Mr. Dao Ming Si and Princess Ye Sha.”

Yu Tian is standing up on stage and addressing the crowd of people.

Yu Tian: “Guests, let us now welcome Dao Ming Corporation’s President, Dao Ming Madam.  Thank You.”

Yu Tian steps away from the podium, clapping his hands.  He walks to the side of the stage and leads Dao Ming Feng up to the podium.

Dao Ming Feng (standing in front of the podium): “Thank you all for making time in your busy schedules to attend this press conference officially announcing, my son, Dao Ming Si will be becoming Dao Ming Corporation’s third generation successor.”

Everybody starts clapping their hands.

Dao Ming Feng (smiles and continues): “Besides this, the thing that I am too impatient to wait, being the mother that I am, is announcing to everybody, one very happy news.  (pause)  My son, Dao Ming Si and Bu Dan Kingdom’s Prince Zuo Meng’s own daughter, Princess Ye Sha, (Dao Ming Si is holding to Ye Sha’s hand tightly) is about to be joined together.  Please welcome my future daughter-in-law, Princess Ye Sha.”

Everybody starts clapping again and Ye Sha and Dao Ming Si slowly walks on stage.

Dao Ming Feng: “Thank you.”

Sha Ge, San Cai and Lei is still standing there on the street looking up at the big screen TV.

Sha Ge (unbelieving tone): “That’s impossible!  That’s just not possible!  This Ye Sha is suppose to go traveling with me.  Why would she run and go get engage to Ah Sing?  It’s also not possible that she would reveal her identity.  This is too strange!  This is too baffling!  This is too weird!”

Lei (looks at San Cai): “San Cai.”

San Cai (forcing a smile): “We’ve searched for half a day and it seems that Ye Sha is hiding within the TV and getting engage to Dao Ming Si.”

Sha Ge (turns to San Cai, trying to explain): “No, San Cai.  Actually Ye Sha, she continuously…  she…  aiyo!  I don’t even know how to explain to you.”

Lei (looks at Sha Ge): “There’s no need for an explanation.  This is the truth already.”

Sha Ge (stuttering): “No, no.  Ye… Ye… Ye Sha, she… she… aiyo!”

San Cai is standing there like a statue staring down, still in shock and trying to digest all the things that she just heard and saw.  At this moment, Lei’s cell phone starts ringing.

Lei (answering his cell phone): “Mei Zuo.”

Mei Zuo’s voice (sounding out of breath): “Lei, did you see the news?”

In Xi Men’s company, his is also talking on his cell phone.

Xi Men (surprised): “Engaged?  (long pause as he absorbs the information)  Ok, I understand.  I’ll be right there.”

F3, San Cai and Sha Ge is all sitting around a table at a café.  No one is speaking and San Cai looks up and around to find everybody staring at her.

San Cai: “Why are you all staring at me like that?  Like I have suffered some injustice.”

Xi Men (looking at her): “San Cai.”

San Cai: “I’m not the one who is suffering from some injustice.  (pause, looking down)  I’m just being played for a fool.  Being fooled by a car accident.  Being fooled by an accident.  In the end, even my friend…”

She didn’t finish her sentence and there was complete silence at the table.

Sha Ge (breaking the silence): “San Cai, you can’t blame Ye Sha.”

San Cai (raises her head and looks at Sha Ge): “I know I shouldn’t blame Ye Sha because the one that Dao Ming Si loves is her.  Basically, I don’t have any right to blame her.  (pause)  It’s just that I don’t understand.  She told me undoubtedly that she was leaving Taiwan.  (turns to Sha Ge)  Why would she get engaged to Dao Ming Si today?”

Sha Ge: “Originally, she was really planning on leaving Taiwan.  (pause)  There’s a reason that she didn’t get to leave.”

Lei: “Sha Ge.  What’s the reason?”

Sha Ge (wanting to say but can’t): “It’s…”

He sighs and grabs his soda to drink instead.

Xi Men: “Sha Ge, hurry up and say it.”

Mei Zuo: “I’ve seen her before.  (Xi Men turns to look at him)  I saw this Ye Sha before.”

Xi Men: “What’s this all about?”

Mei Zuo: “When I was looking at the news before, I kept on thinking that this princess looks very familiar.  I finally thought of it now.  (pause)  Before I met Ah Si, she said that she was our Ying De University’s junior.  Always inquiring about our things.  (pause)  She must have intentionally tried to get close to me.”

Sha Ge (defending Ye Sha): “Don’t talk about nonsense.  Ye Sha is a dignified princess.  Why would she intentionally try to get close to you?  (pause)  She must have wanted to help Ah Sing get his memory back.”

Mei Zuo (turns to Sha Ge): “Then why did she get close to San Cai?”

Sha Ge: “She…”

Mei Zuo: “Say it!”

Sha Ge: “I don’t know!  In any case, I know that Ye Sha is not that type of a person.”

Mei Zuo: “The problem is that the truth is in front of our eyes.  She really did deceive San Cai.”

Sha Ge: “She..”

San Cai (interrupting him): “Sha Ge is right in what he said.  The Ye Sha that I know is also not that type of person.”

Sha Ge: “Exactly.  The matter is not that simple.  Why don’t you also use your knee to think.  With Ye Sha’s identity, getting married to someone with Ah Sing’s brain is already not a simple matter.  Why would she be wasting all her energy to deceive San Cai?”

Xi Men: “You’re right.  Bu Dan Kingdom’s princess.  Being able to become relatives with the imperial family through marriage – the empress dowager should of course, be very happy.  (pause)  She really has become an empress.”  (Note: Xi Men is referring to Dao Ming Feng in the last two sentences.)

Back at the engagement party, inside a room, Ye Sha sits down on a one seat couch with a huge sigh and then pulls her legs up to the couch.

Dao Ming Si: “Ye Sha, what’s wrong?  (he sits on the armrest of the couch)  Are you not feeling well?”

Ye Sha: “It’s nothing.  It’s just that I’m sick of answering those boring questions.  (pause)  You don’t have to mind me.  Hurry up and go entertain those reporters.”

Dao Ming Si (holding onto Ye Sha’s hand): “I don’t want to.  I want to be here with you.”

Ye Sha: “There’s really nothing wrong with me.”

Dao Ming Si: “But these occasions are so awkward.  I don’t want to go.”

Ye Sha: “You are Dao Ming Corporation’s successor, these kinds of occasions you would have to get use to it.”

Dao Ming Si: “Then, you are my finance so why shouldn’t you get use to this kind of occasion?”

Ye Sha (getting annoyed): “Because I want to be by myself!”

She pulls the hand that Dao Ming Si had in his grasp all this time.

Dao Ming Si (looking down at her): “Ye Sha, what is wrong with you?”

Ye Sha (brings her left hand up to rub her temple): “Nothing.  Can you just stop annoying me?”

Dao Ming Si: “I only want to ask why you are not happy.”

Ye Sha (getting louder with each word): “Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, NOTHING.”

Dao Ming Si: “Ye Sha.”

At this moment, Dao Ming Feng walks into the room and stands by the doorway.

Dao Ming Feng: “Ah Si.”

Both Ye Sha and Dao Ming Si looks up at the sound of her voice.

Dao Ming Feng: “Ye Sha has been very tired this whole day.  Yesterday night, she must have been nervous and couldn’t sleep.  And you still don’t let her rest a little?”

Ye Sha (looks at Dao Ming Si, smiling): “Right.  You don’t want me to start regretting from the first day of the engagement, right?”

Dao Ming Feng: “Ah Si, if you don’t hurry up, learn how to be a good husband, be in charge of Dao Ming Corporation’s business affairs, then what are you going to give Ye Sha for her whole life’s happiness?  (pause)  A good daughter in law like Ye Sha, even if Mommy has the abilities, I don’t think I would be able to help you at that time.”

Ye Sha (looking straight at Dao Ming Feng): “Exactly.  Ah Shi should be very clear on how stubborn my temper can be.  The things that I’m asking for, if the other person doesn’t get it done, then I might just turn against that person.  Right Ah Si?”

Dao Ming Si: “Ok, ok.  Then I’ll go and entertain these reporters now, ok?”

Dao Ming Si gets up and walks toward the door.  He turns back from behind Dao Ming Feng and smiles nicely at Ye Sha, but when he looks at Dao Ming Feng’s back, the smile is gone.  Once Dao Ming Si is out the door, Dao Ming Feng takes out her cell phone.

Dao Ming Feng (on cell phone, staring straight at Ye Sha): “Yu Tian, you can call San Cai.”

After she made that call, she turned around and left the room, leaving Ye Sha sitting there all by herself.
