Summary
of MG2 Episode 22:
Xiao Qiao: “Ever since I was little, there is nothing that I can’t learn. (looks over at Lulu and smiles) Especially that which you both are saying is the most exciting parts.”
Lulu (takes off her jacket and looks at Xiao Qiao): “Can you learn that?”
Xiao Qiao looks at Lulu and Mei Zuo. Mei Zuo looks at Lulu and then at Xiao Qiao with a small smile on his face. Xiao Qiao looks at him for a few seconds before looking away. She lowers her head, looking sad. Then she takes a deep breath, smiles and brushes her long hair away from her face and shoulder. She starts to slowly unbutton the buttons on her shirt. Mei Zuo looks at her with a smile at first, then the smile slowly disappears into a frown. He pulls away from Gina and Lulu and grabs Xiao Qiao by her arm.
Mei Zuo (annoyed): “Stop this nonsense. (He pulls her up from her seat and drags her after him.) Let’s go.”
Lulu and Gina stares after Mei Zuo.
Gina: “Eh, what’s the big deal?”
Mei Zuo drives Xiao Qiao home and stops in her drive way.
Mei Zuo: “What were you doing just now?”
Xiao Qiao: “I…”
She stops, then takes a deep breath before continuing.
Xiao Qiao: “I just want to prove that I will not lose to any woman. (looks over at Mei Zuo) The things that the women that you like can do for you, (smiles at Mei Zuo) I will definitely do it better than them.”
Mei Zuo doesn’t say anything. Xiao Qiao looks at him for a few more seconds before the smile disappears from her face and she lowers her head. She sits there for a while longer before taking a breath and then unbuckling her seatbelt.
Xiao Qiao (looks over at Mei Zuo, smiling): “You can pick me up tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m.”
She opens the door and gets out of the car. Mei Zuo then drives away.
Back at Xi Men’s home, Xi Men's father is leaning against the dining table with a serious expression on his face, thinking very hard about something. Xi Men walks over and uncovers the lid of one of the dishes.
Xi Men (happy): “Mom still made ‘hong you chao shou.’”
Dad smiles and then stands up from his leaning position. As he stood there, he was staring off and thinking again. Xi Men was fixing the things on the dinner table and notices his father’s expression.
Xi Men: “Pa, what are you thinking about?”
Dad: “Eh, seeing all the dishes that your mom prepared, my stomach is starting to feel hungry.”
Xi Men smiles and continues fixing the plates and utensils on the table. Xi Men’s mom walks over with a maid, each carrying more dishes of food.
Mom: “Ma didn’t have time to go buy groceries, so all the food is frozen ingredients from the refrigerator. However, it is all your favorite dishes.”
Xi Men: “It’s all very sumptuous already, Ma. Stop busying around now. Dad and I are waiting for you.”
Mom (reaches over to make Xi Men sit down): “Come, sit down.”
They all sit down at the table and Xi Men uncovers the lids from the dishes.
Xi Men: “Wow. What a great soup!”
Mom (smiling): “Let’s eat. The food is getting cold.”
Dad (looks across the table at his wife): “Very good. This time that our son was in the hospital, our whole family had a hard time. Now it has finally passed.”
Mom doesn’t say anything and remains silent.
Xi Men (looks from mom to dad and quickly speaks up): “Pa. I think this is a blessing in disguise. Our whole family have not eaten dinner together for a long time. (turns to mom) Right, Ma?”
Mom doesn’t say anything and just smiles. The maid is bringing glasses of fruit juices over and Xi Men takes a glass from her and hands it over to his mom. Xi Men picking up his own glass, offers a toast to his parents.
Xi Men “Pa, Ma, to my speedy recovery.”
They all raise their glasses, take a sip and then started eating.
After dinner, Xi Men’s mom is by the bar area, pouring a glass of water and Xi Men walks over to her.
Xi Men: “Ma. I’m very full.”
Mom: “You’re full. (putting the medicine and glass of water in front of him) “Then it’s time for your medicine.”
Xi Men (looks at the medicine and then looks up at his mom): “Do you want to drink some coffee?”
Mom (nods her head): “Ok.”
Xi Men: “Then I’ll go make it for you.”
Xi Men walks away and his mom tries to call after him. When he walks quickly away, she sighs and shakes her head. Meanwhile, Xi Men’s dad is in the study room. He opens up a drawer and takes out a large portfolio folder. He opens it up and skims through the pages that are within the folder. Xi Men walks up to the doorway and calls out to him.
Xi Men: “Pa.”
His dad turns around and looks at Xi Men.
Xi Men: “Do you want to drink coffee?”
Dad: “Oh, ok.”
Xi Men walks away from the doorway smiling happily. His dad turns back to look at the papers inside the folder and we see that he was actually looking at the paperwork for a divorce. He closes the portfolio and picks it up with a sad face. Xi Men’s mom is still standing by the bar area. She is admiring the flowers behind the bar when Xi Men’s dad walks up to stand in front of the bar counter.
Dad (speaking to Mom’s back): “I really enjoyed myself at tonight’s dinner. Thank you.”
Xi Men’s mom doesn’t answer and just continues to admire the flowers. Then she turns to where Xi Men’s dad is standing. She reaches over and takes back the medicine and glass of water that she left on top of the counter for Xi Men before.
Dad: “For all this time that we have known each other, the feelings that you have for me in your heart, you have constantly been very clear about.”
Mom (without looking at Xi Men’s dad and speaks): “If you have anything to say, then just come straight out and say it.”
At this moment, Xi Men walks into the room, smiling happily, holding two cups of coffee in his hands.
Dad: “Actually, you also knew that I have always been a husband that neglected his duties. (pause) But after all these years, it doesn’t matter how much grievances your heart has, you have always wholeheartedly acted the character of a perfect mother. (pause) So I should… say I’m sorry to you.”
Mom (still looking to the side): “I am Xi Men’s mother. Everything that I do, are things that I ought to do.”
Dad: “I understand that. (pause) After all these years, I have finally understood. So, (he takes out the portfolio with the divorce papers and puts it on the counter in front of Xi Men’s mom) now, you have given my son to me. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks. Therefore, I think that I should give, to you, the divorce papers that you have been longing for all these years.”
Xi Men’s mom finally slowly raises her eyes to look at her husband. Xi Men’s dad takes a deep breath and looks back at his wife. As the room falls in silence, Xi Men stands there with the two cups of coffee in his hands, stunned and looking shocked at his parents.
That night Xi Men is lying on his bed and trying to fall asleep. His dad is sitting by the bar counter and drinking. Xi Men gets out of bed and goes to join his dad.
Xi Men: “Pa.”
Dad (looks up): “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Xi Men walks over and pulls out the chair next to his father and sits down.
Xi Men: “I can’t sleep.”
Dad (sliding the medicine on the counter over to Xi Men): “Oh, your medicine. You forgot to take it before.”
They both sat there looking at the medicine when Xi Men suddenly jumps out of his seat and walks away. When he comes back, he puts a small bottle on the counter in front of his dad.
Xi Men: “Here.”
Dad: “What?”
Xi Men (sitting back down): “Your medicine. You also didn’t take it today, no?”
Dad: “This medicine is only for a temporary relief and not a permanent cure.”
He takes another sip of his drink that he holds in his hand.
Xi Men (looking over at the medicine): “I know. But at least it can control your blood pressure. Doesn’t matter how angry you get (pause) or how sad you get, it will help you to continue living.”
Xi Men’s dad thinks for a while then takes out a pill from the small bottle. He pops it into his mouth and swallows it down with a sip of the wine. Xi Men gets another glass from the bar and pours himself a glass of wine too. Then he puts his medicine into his mouth and picks up the glass of wine. His dad sees him and stops him.
Dad (taking the wine glass from Xi Men’s hands and puts in back on the counter): “You just came out of a hospital.”
He shakes his hand at Xi Men. Xi Men smiles at his dad and then picks up the glass and takes a long sip.
Xi Men: “Like father, like son.”
His father looks down at his own glass and smiles at Xi Men.
Xi Men: “It seems like we have never drank wine together before.”
Dad: “It doesn’t matter. From now
on, there would be plenty of time. Right?”
Xi Men nods his head in agreement. Then he raises his glass at his father and
they both take a drink.
Xi Men: “I think, Pa, that you should drink less.”
Dad: “What? Are you starting to control me now?”
Xi Men: “Just you see, I would definitely be more of a nag than Ma.”
They both smile at each other and takes another drink. Then Xi Men’s dad gives Xi Men a fondly pat on the shoulder.
Next morning, Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha takes the breakfast van over to Orange Cafe. Da Xin, Ah Lun & Yi Ling comes out of the shop and are amazed at the brightly yellow colored van that was parked in front of their shop.
Yi Ling: “What a pretty van!”
Ah Lun: “But, you guys were driving this van, don’t you think it’s calling out for too much attention? (Ah Lun walks around to look at the design on the outside of the van.) Wow! It’s very nice looking!”
Da Xin and Yi Ling quickly opens the door to the inside of the van and takes a look of the décor inside.
Da Xin (with an amazed look): “WOW!”
Yi Ling (coming up behind him): “What?”
Da Xin: “Look!”
Yi Ling (sticks her head into the van and also has an amazed look on her face): “Wow!”
Da Xin: “This is great!”
Da Xin and Yi Ling looks around the inside and kept on repeating that it was great. Meanwhile, Ah Lun is outside of the van and announcing that it was very cute.
Ah Lun (looking at the brightly yellow van with white clouds painted on it): “Wow! What pretty colors! So dazzling!”
Ah Lun walks up from the side of the van admiring the decoration and Da Xin sticks his head out of the window and both of them started “wowing” at each other again.
Ah Lun (pointing to the clouds on the van): “And there are also clouds! This color is so cute!”
Yi Ling (runs back down from inside the van): “There’s also a sun in the back!”
Ah Lun: “Everything is simply too dazzling!”
Ye Sha (smiling happily): “This is your breakfast van!”
Dao Ming Si also smiles happily and nods his head in agreement.
Ah Lun / Yi Ling / Da Xin (looks at Dao Ming Si & Ye Sha with a shocked face and says together): “Breakfast van?”
Dao Ming Si: “Right. (Ye Sha nods her head up and down next to Dao Ming Si.) This is designed by Ye Sha. So now, even if the breakfast café is closed, you guys don’t have to worry about not having a job.”
Yi Ling (looks over at Ah Lun and cries out excitedly): “Our breakfast van!”
The 3 of them started shouting very excitedly and loudly. Ah Lun and Yi Ling is hugging each other and jumping up and down and around in a circle. Da Xing runs and grabs two bottles of champagne and comes back and jumps happily with them too. The 5 of them starts acting very crazily. Da Xin and Dao Ming Si are shaking and splashing the two bottles of champagne everywhere and Yi Ling, Ah Lun, and Ye Sha are throwing confetti all around.
Then they all take the van around for a drive. Da Xin is driving the van with Yi Ling and Ah Lun all sitting in the front while Ye Sha and Dao Ming Si sits in the back. They are listening to “Happy” and everybody is in high spirits. Meanwhile, Qing He and Mimi is walking around in the streets. Qing He is walking in the front and looking all around while Mimi is walking behind him. She’s looking at the back of Qing He very happily and started skipping after him. But she dropped her bag, so she stopped to pick it up and then quickly run after Qing He. In her rush to catch up, she trips and falls against Qing He.
Mimi (calling out): “OW!”
Qing He quickly reaches out a hand and holds onto her.
Qing He (holding onto her right arm): “What’s wrong with you?”
Mimi (on her knees on the ground): “Reporting to Senior, because my shoes are not in line with my body, so that’s why it made my muscles cramp up for a brief moment. So…”
Qing He (holds up his hand to interrupt her): “Fine, fine, fine. Simply put, did you sprain your foot?”
Mimi nods her head.
Qing He (turning so that his back faces Mimi): “Come on.”
Mimi (grabs onto Qing He’s left arm and starts to pull herself up): “Thank you, Senior.”
Qing He (helps her to stand up): “Is this ok?”
Mimi: “Yes.”
Qing He holds onto her right arm and Mimi starts to limp next to Qing He.
Qing He: “Does it hurt?”
Mimi (smiles shyly): “Hurts.”
They continue walking and then stops at the corner of the street to wait for the right light.
At this moment, the breakfast van also stops to wait for the traffic light. Dao Ming Si looks out the window and sees Qing He standing at the corner.
Dao Ming Si (shouts happily): “QING HE! QING HE!”
Qing He and Mimi looks around to see who was calling out.
Qing He (sees Dao Ming Si, calls out): “Dao Ming Si!”
Dao Ming Si (sticking half his body out of the van’s window): “Where are you going?”
Qing He: “I… I’m crossing the street.”
Dao Ming Si (smiling): “Why do you still talk the same way - without any main points. My… Hey, the light’s green. We have to leave first. (He sits back down into his seat, then sticks his head out again.) Hey, what is your phone number?”
Qing He: “Oh, my number is 0939-9999. I’ll wait for your call!”
Dao Ming Si: “Oh, ok, I’ll call you. Ok, Talk to you soon. Bye bye.”
Dao Ming Si waves at Qing He and Mimi.
Qing He / Mimi (both waving): “Bye bye!.”
The breakfast van drives away and Qing He and Mimi stood there and stares after it.
Mimi (turning to Qing He, with an amazed look on her face): “Qing He Senior, that person is the one that San Cai Senior always thinks about, Ying De University’s legendary F4’s head, Dao Ming Si?”
Qing He (nodding his head): “Right. I know him very well. And also we used to hang out together when we were in school.”
Mimi: “Then why does everyone say that he has lost his memories? Didn’t he just recognize you at first glance?”
Qing He: “Of course, he remembers me. (pause, then it dawns on him) Right! Why would he remember me? (He looks after the direction the van drove off to and shouts.) Dao Ming Si! Dao Ming Si! (He turns back to Mimi, excited.) This is great news! I have to go tell San Cai immediately.”
Qing He turns and starts running.
Mimi: “Oh. Hey! Qing He Senior…”
She starts to walk after him but her foot hurts her.
Mimi: “OW! Qing He Senior. Wait for me! Qing He Senior!”
She quickly limps after Qing He.
Meanwhile, inside the van, Ye Sha is curious as to who the guy that Dao Ming Si was talking to before is.
Ye Sha: “Who is that Qing He?”
Dao Ming Si: “A junior at Ying De.”
Ye Sha: “Junior?”
Dao Ming Si: “Right.”
Ye Sha: “How come you remember him?”
Dao Ming Si (looks at Ye Sha, surprised): “Right. Why would I remember him?”
Qing He arrives at Dao Ming Corporation and is stopped by a security guard.
Qing He: “Don’t block me! I have the most important news in the world to tell San Cai.”
Guard: “I’m sorry but our company has a rule that all visitors must first register and get a pass.”
Qing He: “Where to register? What pass?”
Guard (points him to a desk): “Over here.”
Qing He (runs up to the reception desk): “I need to find San Cai!”
Receptionist: “Mr. Our company has a few hundred employees. You have to tell me which department she is in.”
Qing He: “Huh?!?! Eh, she’s… she’s… she’s ‘zhong wu bu’. Right, she’s in ‘zhong wu bu’. So what do I have to register?”
Receptionist: “Hold on a minute. I have to first check the computer and see if there is really someone that you called something Cai.”
The receptionist starts typing on the computer and Qing He waits impatiently.
Receptionist: “How do you write it?”
Qing He: “Huh?”
Receptionist: “The name.”
Qing He: “Oh, I’m… I’m called Chan Qing He.”
Receptionist: “I’m not asking you.”
Qing He: “San… San Cai. Dong San Cai. The character of wood and three strokes that San. And then… the character for green vegetables, that Cai.”
The receptionist goes back to typing on the computer.
Qing He (impatient): “Hurry up.”
Another receptionist hands Qing He a form and pen.
Receptionist: “Please fill this out.”
As Qing He was starting to fill out the form, Mimi runs up to Qing He out of breath.
Mimi: “Qing He Senior.”
Qing He turns to look at Mimi who was leaning against the side of the reception desk gasping for breath.
Qing He: “I am so impatient already! (Yu Tian, Dao Ming Feng’s assistant walks by at this moment and stops on the side to see what all the commotion was all about.) And they are still making me fill out this stupid thing!”
Mimi (breathing hard): “Why don’t you call San Cai Senior’s cell phone?”
Qing He (throws down the pen): “Right!”
He searches in his pocket for his cell phone. Seeing that everything is ok, Yu Tian starts to walk toward the elevator bank.
Qing He: “Hello? San Cai? I’m downstairs at your company. I have something very, very important in this world to talk to you about. Come down immediately. (pause) Right. (pause, speaking loudly) Dao Ming Si regained his memory! (Yu Tian stops walking and looks over at Qing He when he hears this.) Hurry up!”
Yu Tian quickly takes the elevator up to Dao Ming Feng’s office to inform her of what he overheard.
Yu Tian: “Madam.”
Dao Ming Feng: “You may go now. Go downstairs first. I want to think this over.”
Yu Tian: “Yes.”
He then bows and leaves the office.
Mimi is standing downstairs at the lobby while Qing He is impatiently running circles around her, all the while calling out, “Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.”
San Cai (quickly runs over): “Qing He!”
Mimi: “San Cai Senior.”
Qing He (stops running): “San Cai!”
San Cai (out of breath): “You said that Dao Ming Si regained his memory!”
Qing He: “Right.”
San Cai (anxiously): “What is this all about? Hurry up and tell me.”
Qing He (stammering): “Eh, right. He… He called me. And then… he recognized me at first glance. Moreover, he was the one to call me first. He called me Qing He.”
San Cai (gets impatient with him): “Qing He can you please say it clearly again? You said that he recognized you. Then where did you guys meet and what did you say?”
Qing He: “I… I…”
Mimi (helps him out): “San Cai Senior. It all happened like this. When I and Qing He Senior was going to school, we met up with Dao Ming Si Senior on the way. The minute that he saw us, he called out to Qing He Senior. The two of them started talking to each other. It all happened very naturally and didn’t seem like that there was any matter of amnesia.”
Qing He: “Right, right. That’s how it was.”
San Cai (very happy): “He recognized you? (Qing He nods his head.) He remembers! He remembers everything? (She’s so happy that tears are coming to her eyes.) Dao Ming Si regained his memory! Dao Ming Si regained his memory! Then... then what should I do? What do I have to do?”
Qing He (looking around): “Right, what should you do? What should you do?”
Mimi: “First, tell him to cancel his engagement.”
San Cai: “Cancel the engagement?”
Qing He: “Right! He regained his memory. It would be like the old times when he loves you. He won’t love this whoever, Budan Princess. And then he will return to your side. Tell this whoever Budan Princess, to go home and eat herself! (He walks over to grab hold of San Cai’s arm.) Let’s all go to find Dao Ming Si. Hurry up.”
Qing He drags San Cai along and starts to walk quickly.
Mimi: “Eh, Qing He Senior! Wait for me! Qing He Senior!”
Mimi starts to quickly limp after them.
The breakfast van stops outside Dao Ming Corporation and Dao Ming Si gets out of the van.
Dao Ming Si: “Trouble you guys to help me bring Ye Sha home.”
Da Xin: “Not a problem.”
Dao Ming Si: “Thanks.”
Da Xin: “Ok. We’re leaving now. Bye.”
The van drives away and Dao Ming Si stood there staring at the back of the van for a few seconds. Then he takes a deep breath before walking across the street toward the entrance of Dao Ming Corporation.
Qing He (holding onto San Cai’s left arm and walking rather quickly): “Hurry and go find Dao Ming Si. Forget about going back to work. Hurry.”
Mimi (limping): “Senior, wait for me!”
As Mimi walks out, she sees Dao Ming Si walk pass her and into the building.
Mimi (stops and calls out): “Qing He Senior! (points to Dao Ming Si) Dao Ming Si.”
Mimi limps back and stands in front of Dao Ming Si.
Mimi (holds her arms out to block Dao Ming Si): “Dao Ming Si Senior.”
Qing He and San Cai quickly runs back to stand in front of Dao Ming Si.
Qing He (to Dao Ming Si): “You recognize me as Chan Qing He, right?”
Dao Ming Si (amused, calls Qing He by the nickname that F4 gave him): “What do you want now?”
Qing He (looks at San Cai): “Wow, he even knows that I am ‘bao fa hu de er zi.’ Then you must have a lot of words to say to San Cai. Hurry.”
San Cai (smiles shyly): “Qing He.”
Dao Ming Si: “Did I ask for your opinion, Chan Qing He?”
San Cai smiles happily when she hears this phrase that the old Dao Ming Si always use to say.
Dao Ming Si: “I do have a lot of things to say to San Cai, but…”
Qing He (interrupts him): “Then hurry up and say it.”
Dao Ming Si: “You are so annoying! (smiles) Forget it. (turns to face San Cai) San… San Cai. Thank you. (San Cai’s smile starts to slowly disappear from her face.) With regard to the breakfast van, Ye Sha is very happy. (San Cai starts to lower her head and stare at the floor.) I haven’t seen her this happy for a long time. So… thank you.”
Qing He: “Huh? That’s it? Shouldn’t you… have something more to say to San Cai?”
Dao Ming Si: “Then what else should I say? Oh! (He reaches over and holds onto San Cai’s left hand.) Help me to say thank you to uncle.”
Then he lets go of her hand and San Cai looks down on the floor and forces a smile on her face.
Qing He: “Huh? That’s not it! Dao Ming Si, you should say I love San…”
San Cai (quickly interrupts him): “Qing He! (turns to look at Dao Ming Si) Dao Ming Si, don’t mind him. You go and do your own things.”
Qing He: “No! You have to first explain everything clearly to me.”
Dao Ming Si (smiling): “Fine. Then let’s clearly talk it over. Chan Qing He, exactly what have I done that you are feeling so dissatisfied about?”
Qing He: “I am dissatisfied at YOU! Since you have regained your memories…”
San Cai (interrupts him loudly again): “Don’t say anymore!”
There was a moment of awkwardness after San Cai’s outburst.
Dao Ming Si: “I better go up first. (He pats Qing He’s left arm.) Qing He, stop making San Cai mad, do you hear?”
Qing He: “You…”
Dao Ming Si walks away.
Qing He (turns quickly): “Dao Ming Si!”
San Cai (grabs hold of Qing He’s arm to stop him from going after Dao Ming Si): “Qing He.”
Qing He: “San Cai, he obviously has regained his memory already.”
San Cai (quietly): “He didn’t regain his memory.”
Qing He: “You’re lying. He knew that I was ‘bao fa hu de er zi.’”
San Cai: “If he really did regain his memory, then he would have pushed you away a long time ago, since you were annoying him so much, no?”
Qing He (thinks for a few seconds): “Right.”
Mimi: “San Cai Senior. Don’t you want to go back to the way it was in the past with Dao Ming Si Senior?”
San Cai: “If I can’t go back, at least right now, I can stay beside Dao Ming Si’s side and create new memories, no?”
Qing He (looks at San Cai’s sad face): “San Cai.”
After Mimi and Qing He left, San Cai goes up to the rooftop and stood there thinking.
San Cai (thinking to herself): “I’m lying if I say I don’t feel any regrets. If even Qing He has a place in Dao Ming Si’s memories, then why is it that I, am left outside of Dao Ming Si’s memories?”
As San Cai stands there staring out at nothing, Dao Ming Si walks up from behind and stands next to her.
Dao Ming Si: “Actually, that wasn’t all that I had to say before.”
San Cai: “Dao Ming Si.”
Dao Ming Si: “There are some feelings that I’m not sure who I should speak to about. May I say it to you?”
San Cai: “Are we not friends?”
Dao Ming Si: “It’s very weird. (looks at San Cai) Why would I remember Qing He? Moreover, only just remember Qing He. It scared even myself. (pause) Qing He… And also when I think of him, I would feel that it was very funny. (San Cai smiles beside him.) Could it be that I was very good friends with him in the past?”
San Cai (smiling): “Can’t be said very good friends. Qing He was my high school classmate. After he transferred into Ying De, he had always admired F4. He constantly wants to hang out with you guys, but you guys always find ways of making fun of him.”
Dao Ming Si: “Find ways to make fun of him? (San Cai nods her head, smiling.) And then?”
San Cai: “And then, he still continuously want to join with you guys. You guys would continue to find ways of making fun of him. And then he would continue to try even harder to join with you guys.”
Dao Ming Si: “This kind of feeling is really very strange. When I think of Qing He, I don’t get feelings of having a headache at all. (pause) Maybe it has to do with the fact that he is very funny, that’s why my memories choose him. (pause) But there is still something that I don’t quite understand. You guys… remember everything? I… I mean, you people who have not lost your memories, if you have to remember everything, then wouldn’t it be very tiring?”
San Cai: “We would often forget too. Like textbooks – however it’s learned then that’s how it is forgotten. Also those people that are not important, those things that are not important. Isn’t there something called ‘nao ke liang’? It should mean something like, when there are new memories coming in, then the old memories would have to be rid of. But there are some things that even if you want to forget, you can’t forget.”
Dao Ming Si (puzzled): “What things are that which you want to forget but can’t forget?”
San Cai looks away from Dao Ming Si with her head down and doesn’t answer. Dao Ming Si realizes that he asked something that he shouldn’t have asked, so he quickly changes the subject.
Dao Ming Si: “Eh, let’s have lunch together later, ok?”
San Cai: “Have lunch?”
Dao Ming Si nods his head.
San Cai (smiling): “Ok.”
Dao Ming Si: “Then what would you like to eat?”
At this moment, Yu Tian walks up to them.
Yu Tian: “Master. Madam is looking for you.”
Dao Ming Si (to San Cai): “Then you think about it. I’ll give you a call later.”
San Cai: “I’ll wait for your call.”
Dao Ming Si walks away with Yu Tian following him while San Cai still stands there with a smile on her face.
Qing He and Mimi is having lunch at a fast food restaurant. Qing He is sitting at the table with his head down, elbows on the table with both hands holding a hamburger that is raised up as the same level as his forehead. Mimi unwraps her burger and was about to take a bit when she notices that Qing He was sitting there like a statue.
Mimi: “Qing He Senior, are you praying? When did you become a Christian?”
Qing He (slowly raising his head over his high rise hamburger): “Hm, how can it be that Dao Ming Si didn’t regain his memories? He obviously remembers me.”
Mimi: “With regard to this point, I have come to a small conclusion.”
Qing He: “What conclusion?”
Mimi: “It’s obviously very clear that Qing He Senior is Dao Ming Si Senior’s link to his past memories. Which means that Qing He Senior is Dao Ming Si Senior’s key to opening up the memory door.”
Qing He: “You’re saying… I’m what?!”
Mimi (puts down her burger): “Senior, you are the key person. (She holds up both hands and makes a motion of quotation marks.) ‘The key to the memories.’ I believe that you are the only person that can help Dao Ming Si Senior to regain his memories now.”
Qing He (thinks and then calls out): “Right!”
He quickly takes three big bites of his hamburger.
Mimi: “So, the one that can help San Cai Senior to get back her happiness is only you, Qing He Senior.”
Mimi picks up her burger with a smile after her explanation.
Qing He (with his mouth full): “So that’s why God arranged for me to stay quietly by San Cai’s side – it’s to help Dao Ming Si to find his memories.”
Mimi (nods her head while chewing): “My dad said that a guy who finds one’s own mission, for one’s dream, and burns with enthusiasm for it, then he is a good man who has dreams and bravery.”
Qing He (chewing): “Right! (pause) Mimi! I am willing to do anything for San Cai!”
Qing He goes back to taking big bites out of his hamburger. Mimi stares at him with a smile on her face which is filled with love.
Mimi: “I really am very envious of San Cai Senior. There are so many people that are working so hard for her happiness.”
Qing He (chewing, speaks with his mouth full): “Mimi, then let us together, (pushes Mimi’s hands, which is holding her hamburger, toward her mouth. She had no choice but to take a big bite out of it.) work hard for San Cai’s happiness.”
Qing He then continues biting his hamburger. Mimi nods her head happily while chewing.
San Cai is outside and feeding a dog her lunchbox.
San Cai (smiling happily): “Xiao Guai, you can eat more today because I’m going to be having lunch with Dao Ming Si later.”
San Cai smiles and looks at her cell phone in her hands.
Meanwhile, Dao Ming Si is having lunch with his mother in a restaurant.
Dao Ming Feng: “Ah Si, Mommy has arranged an appointment for you with a doctor from the brain surgeon department. In the next two days, Mommy will go with you and have a thorough examination.”
Dao Ming Si (cutting up his steak, and speaking without looking up): “You don’t have to worry about my things. If there is any need, then Ye Sha will go with me.”
Dao Ming Feng: “How are you and Ye Sha getting along recently?”
Dao Ming Si (pauses before looking up at his mom): “You seem to imply that I and Ye Sha should not be getting on well.”
Dao Ming Feng (smiles and puts down her fork): “Maybe Mommy is thinking too much. I just feel that since you’ve been so close with San Cai recently and plus the relationship that you use to have with her, (Dao Ming Si is cutting his steak again, and slowly stops.) don’t know if Ye Sha would be oversensitive about it.”
Dao Ming Si (freezes in his movement of cutting up the steak and looks up): “Ma, San Cai is Ye Sha’s good friend. She will not be thinking about these foolish things like you.”
Dao Ming Feng: “Maybe Ye Sha won’t have these foolish thoughts… (pause) But what about San Cai?”
Dao Ming Si (stopping carving again): “What do you mean by that?”
Dao Ming Feng: “Ah Si, don’t tell me that you’ve never thought about it? Why is it that a girl that has broken up with you in the past, deliberately plan to appear by your side?”
Dao Ming Si (exasperated): “Isn’t it your arrangement for her to work in the company?”
Dao Ming Feng: “That’s because Mommy pities her. (Dao Ming Si looks away and goes back to carving, looking a bit annoyed.) But then later I found out that her motive is not so simple. She’s been constantly trying to find a chance to intervene between your and Ye Sha’s relationship. (pause) Don’t you feel that Ye Sha’s moods are frequently rising and falling without any reasons because of San Cai?”
Dao Ming Si (getting upset): “She’s not that kind of person!”
Dao Ming Feng (getting loud): “San Cai is not kind of person! How much do you remember? I have been looking at her all this time, deliberately planning, using feelings to torture you, to pull you along. (Dao Ming Si is listening very closely to everything that she is saying.) If it wasn’t because of her selfish possessiveness, then how come the car incident in Barcelona happened?! (pause) I would so much as suspect that your amnesia, is all because your sub-consciousness is resisting all the unhappiness in the past. (pause) But, she is very smart. She knows how to hold onto a chance, using her own innocence and the responsibility of the car accident, and pushes it all onto Ye Sha. Made Ye Sha sink between guilt stricken and holding herself responsible. The whole motive is to make Ye Sha return you to her. Not only in this way…”
Dao Ming Si finally had enough and threw down his utensils against the plate loudly and stands up, pushing his chair back.
Dao Ming Si (loudly): “That’s enough!”
Dao Ming Feng backs up with a surprise look on her face.
Dao Ming Si: “I may have lost my memory, but I still have my eyes! (pause) The San Cai that I see, is definitely not that type of person!”
He throws down his napkin and turns to walk away.
Dao Ming Feng (calling out): “Ah Si! (He stops with his back to the table.) You can be mad at me but Mommy hopes that you will believe that in this world, the only person that will not harm you is Mommy.”
Dao Ming Si: “I’m full. You carry on.”
Dao Ming Si walks out of the restaurant with Dao Ming Feng looking after him with a satisfied look on her face.
Back in San Cai’s department, all the desks are empty because everybody has left for lunch. San Cai is at her desk with her head resting on her arm, staring at her cell phone. As she continues to stare at her phone, it suddenly rings. She quickly reaches for it and answers it.
San Cai (smiling): “Hello? (The happy smile disappears.) Ye Sha? Tonight? Ok, then I’ll see you tonight. Bye bye.”
San Cai hangs up in the phone in disappointment. She looks around and sees that everybody is coming back from lunch. Then she opens up her drawer and takes out some biscuits and goes back to work while eating.
Mei Zuo quietly creeps into a room and tiptoes over to a large shape that is covered with a blanket on a bed. He quietly lays down next to the person and then suddenly starts making a loud sound like a rooster. The person on the side starts moving around.
Mei Zuo: “Time to get out of bed!”
Lei (pushes the blanket away from his head): “I haven’t slept for 15 hours yet. Stop bothering me.”
Mei Zuo (looks over at Lei and smiles): “Sometimes I really am very envious of you. It doesn’t matter what happens, you can still fall asleep.”
Lei: “Since you understand, then good. (He turns over to his side with his back to Mei Zuo.) So, don’t come and bother me with your things.”
Mei Zuo (looking up at the ceiling): “I have nothing to do so that’s why I’m bored. If I can sleep like you then that would be good.”
Lei doesn’t pay him any attention so Mei Zuo moves closer to him and pops up on his elbow. He started singing “Thinking about 10 of you” from his album. As he continues to sing, Lei moves his hand and tries to cover his ears from the sound. This just makes Mei Zuo lean against Lei even more and singing even louder. Lei gets irritated and pushes Mei Zuo away and pops up on his two elbows.
Lei: “AH! You are annoying. (Mei Zuo laughs.) Xi Men is working so hard that his stomach had a hole in it. You are also a working person. But you ran all the way to my home to sing?”
Mei Zuo (scoffs): “The company is the same with or without me. (Lei lays back down on the bed.) I’m only responsible for stamping and signing. (Lei ignores him and settles back down on his side of the bed.) Everyday stamp, stamp, stamp. Stamp until the end of the day. This kind of work, I don’t even need to do. Like Xi Men, working so hard that his stomach is bleeding, I’m not interested in that either.”
Lei went back to sleep and not paying Mei Zuo any attention.
Mei Zuo: “You really have to continue sleeping? (no answer and no movement) Alright then, I’ll stop disturbing you. I only want to… (He starts to sing again.) Make a wish, make a wish. (Lei starts to move in annoyance again.) Don’t close your eyes and sleep. (Lei covers his ear with his hand again.) Hurry up and get out of bed. And go with me to sing. (loudly) LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!”
Lei continues to ignore him and covering his ear.
Mei Zuo: “Lei, Xi Men is out of the hospital already. Us F4 should all get together. (He pats Lei on the back.) What do you say? (no answer, so he pats again.) What do you say?”
Lei (mumbles into the pillow): “Ok.”
Mei Zuo (nudges Lei on the back again): “What do you say, Lei?”
Still no movement from Lei so Mei Zuo shakes him roughly. Lei pops up and then plops back down on his back with a very exasperated sigh. Mei Zuo laughs. Lei pops up on his elbow again and looks at Mei Zuo.
Lei: “If you want to make an arrangement, then can you go downstairs and make the calls? (Mei Zuo sighs loudly.) Also, next time, if you want to sing, then why don’t you go to KTV to sing!”
Lei lies back down with his back to Mei Zuo and pulls his blanket up.
Mei Zuo: “I am singing live for you and you are still acting like this? (He looks to the side.) No standards!”
F4 meets in a pub and is drinking wine around a table. After making a toast, they all took a sip of their drinks.
Xi Men: “We really haven’t gotten together in a long time. Ah Si, you have also been absent for a long time.”
Dao Ming Si (smiles): “Eh, your stomach is only just better. Can you drink?”
Xi Men: “When I left the hospital, I have already drank with father.”
Mei Zuo (surprised): “Drank with your father?”
Xi Men (puts his glass down on the table): “I’ve been very happy recently. It’s a bit exaggerating talking like this, but I have this feeling like an orphan who just found his real father.”
Mei Zuo: “Good. Then for your happiness today, let’s have another toast.”
They all picked up their glasses and gave another toast.
Dao Ming Si: “Xi Men. You’re happy, so of course, I’m happy for you also. But, ‘an orphan who just found his real father’ what does that mean?”
Xi Men (refilling their wine glasses): “I’ve always had a bad relationship with my dad. But this time after I’ve been sick, it actually helped improved our relationship.”
Dao Ming Si nods his head in understanding.
Mei Zuo: “Ah Si, although we can accept the present you 100%, but we still hope that you will quickly regain your memory. So that you can understand what we are talking about.”
Dao Ming Si (smiling): “Hey, I found out something very strange today. I actually saw Qing He.”
Mei Zuo: “What’s so strange about that?”
Dao Ming Si: “No, the strange part is that I actually recognized him at first glance. Moreover, I immediately called out his name.”
Xi Men: “Then that’s a little strange.”
Mei Zuo (smiling): “Do you still remember how we use to make fun of this ‘bao fa hu de er zi?”
Dao Ming Si: “San Cai did mention it to me. But I have no impression of it.”
Xi Men: “No impression is ok. This should be a good news.”
Mei Zuo: “Right. This means that you are quick in regaining your memory. (pause) Let’s toast again.”
Xi Men (after the toast, looks at Mei Zuo): “What about you?”
Mei Zuo: “What about me?”
Xi Men: “What’s your good news?”
Mei Zuo (sighing): “Why would I have any good news?”
Xi Men: “Didn’t you go to matchmaking?”
Mei Zuo (sighs again): “I’m so annoyed with talking about this.”
Xi Men: “Annoyed? Is it because the other party is too stupid, too ugly or too cute?”
Mei Zuo: “She’s not stupid. She’s not ugly. And she’s also not cute. I just don’t like her.”
Dao Ming Si: “Then you should reject her immediately. What’s so annoying about that?”
Mei Zuo: “Of course, it’s annoying. It’s obviously a vase, but it’s still trying to pretend otherwise. I thought if we both didn’t like each other, then it would be fine. She said something about when we were on a date, we were very happy, in front of my mom and her mom. Made me go on boring dates with her over and over again.”
Lei (smiling): “Continue to have boring dates. It doesn’t sound like Mei Zuo.”
Mei Zuo opens his mouth and tries to say something, but nothing comes out so he shuts up.
Dao Ming Si: “Hey, then you should tell her directly that you don’t like her. Wouldn’t that be the way to go?”
Mei Zuo: “I did say it! I used all the methods already but it’s all no use!”
Xi Men (teases): “You probably can’t bear to use your methods, right?”
F3 looks at Mei Zuo and smiles.
Mei Zuo: “Fine. (He picks up his cell phone on the table.) Then I’ll call her now. Make her give up once and for all tonight.”
Dao Ming Si: “Would she come?”
Xi Men: “Ah Si, in the past, if we just open our mouth, there are no girls that would reject us.”
Dao Ming Si: “Really?”
Mei Zuo: “Only your Ye Sha Princess is such a big shot. (on cell phone) Hello? Hello? I am Mei Zuo. I’m together with my buddies now. Hurry up and come over.”
Xi Men (to Dao Ming Si): “Hey, let’s have a fiancé meet fiancé. (points to Dao Ming Si’s cell phone on the table) Call Ye Sha to come over.”
Dao Ming Si: “Huh?”
Lei turns to look at Dao Ming Si. Dao Ming Si picks up his cell phone and smiles lightly at Lei.
Ye Sha and San Cai is having dinner together.
Ye Sha (looking at San Cai, smiling): “Why do you have such a good appetite today?”
San Cai (smiles): “Because I didn’t have lunch today.”
Ye Sha: “Didn’t have lunch?”
San Cai nods her head.
Ye Sha: “Why?”
San Cai: “Because… um… (she picks up a napkin to wipe her mouth) because…”
Just at this moment, Ye Sha’s cell phone starts ringing: “Brave Ye Sha. Brave Ye Sha. Brave Ye Sha.”
Ye Sha (smiles at San Cai and picks up the phone): “Hello? (pause) I’m with San Cai right now. I’m not free.”
She hangs up the phone and looks at San Cai.
Ye Sha: “It’s Ah Sing.”
San Cai smiles and nods her head.
San Cai (chewing): “Your ring tone is very cute.”
Ye Sha smiles at San Cai, then looks at her cell phone. She picks it up and started to change the ring tone.
San Cai: “Why did you change it?”
Ye Sha: “I wanted to change it a long time ago. This ring tone is so embarrassing.”
San Cai just looks at the cell phone and there was a moment of awkwardness at the table.
Ye Sha: “Hey, you still didn’t tell me why you didn’t have lunch this afternoon.”
San Cai: “Eh, I… was too busy. Forgot to eat. (takes a bite of her sandwich, and quickly changes the subject) Where do you want to go afterwards?”
Ye Sha (chewing): “Hm, I want to go buy some books. I can read it when I can’t sleep at night.”
San Cai: “Ok, then after we finish eating, we’ll go to the bookstore.”
Ye Sha nods her head in agreement.
Back at the pub, Dao Ming Si is standing to the side and staring at his cell phone. He turns to walk back to the table where F3 is at.
Mei Zuo: “What’s wrong? She can’t come again?”
Dao Ming Si: “She’s together with San Cai. It seems that when the two of them are together, I would become unnecessary.”
Xi Men: “Ye Sha is together with San Cai.”
Dao Ming Si: “Right. (He starts to walk over to his seat.) Is that very weird?”
Mei Zuo (sits back down): “Not weird. But the two of them are after all…”
Dao Ming Si: “Huh? What? Why won’t you finish what you are saying?”
Mei Zuo (smiles): “Nothing. It’s not an important matter in our drinking tonight.”
Dao Ming Si: “Hey, right. There’s something that I want to ask the three of you. The time when San Cai has to come to our company to work, you guys weren’t in favor of the idea. Why is that?”
Mei Zuo: “It’s not that we weren’t in favor of the idea. It’s just that we were afraid that San Cai would get hurt. But this San Cai is indeed a weed. The more difficulties there are, the stronger she gets. (pause) She can still be good friends with you and Ye Sha. If it was the three of us that was in such an awkward situation, then we would have hidden far away from it already.”
Dao Ming Si: “So what you mean is that San Cai has a motive for working in our company?”
Lei (quickly looks over at Dao Ming Si): “Using ‘motive’ such a word is very unfair to San Cai. It should be said that San Cai is very brave. She bravely chooses another method to love you.”
Xi Men: “San Cai is like that. So silly that it’s cute.”
At this moment, Xiao Qiao shows up.
Xiao Qiao: “Sorry, I’m late.”
Xi Men (surprised at who the girl is): “Ying Xiao Qiao!”
F3 stands up while Mei Zuo is still sitting down with his back toward Xiao Qiao.
Xi Men (speaking to Dao Ming Si and Lei): “This is Jun Li Construction’s President’s daughter.”
Xiao Qiao (bows lightly): “Nice to meet you all.”
Xi Men: “Mei Zuo. Help introduce us.”
Mei Zuo stands up reluctantly and walks over to stand next to Xiao Qiao.
Mei Zuo: “These three are my very good friends. (pause) As for how close, let me tell you. If the three of them and you, all fall into the sea, then I would go and save them (smiles sweetly at her) and not you.”
Dao Ming Si and Lei looks away, feeling a little uncomfortable at Mei Zuo’s rudeness.
Xiao Qiao (smiles and replies): “Well, of course. I can swim, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
Mei Zuo looks to the side and smiles in disbelief before introducing F3.
Mei Zuo (looking at Dao Ming Si): “Dao Ming Si – Dao Ming Corporation’s 3rd generation successor.”
Xiao Qiao smiles and bows lightly at Dao Ming Si. Dao Ming Si walks over and holds out his hand to shake Xiao Qiao’s.
Dao Ming Si: “Nice to meet you.”
Xiao Qiao: “Nice to meet you too.”
Dao Ming Si (whispers softly, smiling): “I also know how to swim.”
Xiao Qiao smiles back widely and looks back at Lei and Xi Men.
Mei Zuo: “Hua Ze Lei – Hau Ze Property Insurance’s successor.”
Lei (reaches over to shake her hand): “Nice to meet you.”
Xiao Qiao (leans over to shake Lei’s hand, smiling): “Nice to meet you too. Then you are also a master swimmer?”
Lei: “If we really did fall into the sea, Mei Zuo only needs to look after himself. We don’t need him to worry about us.”
Mei Zuo: “Xi Men – Xi Men Corporation’s future President.”
Xi Men (shakes her hand): “Nice to meet you.”
Xiao Qiao: “Last time I represented my dad to attend your celebration banquet. My dad told me that you showed a very outstanding performance with your work. He believes that in the future you would play a very decisive role in the business market.”
Xi Men (a little embarrassed at the praise): “No, no. I also heard that you are great with the cello.”
Xiao Qiao: “Thank you.”
Xi Men: “Sit, sit.”
Everybody sits down around the table and Dao Ming Si clears his throat.
Dao Ming Si (to Xiao Qiao): “What would you like to drink?”
Xiao Qiao smiles and looks over at Mei Zuo, hoping that he would suggest something. Mei Zuo looks away and pretends otherwise. Xiao Qiao gives a little embarrassed smile and then picks up Mei Zuo’s glass of wine from the table.
Xiao Qiao (holding up the glass): “I’ll propose a toast to everyone. Very happy that I am invited to your gathering.”
F3 and Xiao Qiao takes a sip of their wine, while Mei Zuo just sits there.
Mei Zuo: “Don’t be too happy. We were just placing a bet before to see who could make his girl come at his beckoning. (pause) Can’t believe that you are so obedient.”
Xiao Qiao (smiling): “Really? Then I’m really honored.”
Mei Zuo: “Since you are so obedient and gave me such face in front of my buddies, (pause) then I feel that I should give you a present.”
Xiao Qiao looks over at Mei Zuo and Mei Zuo suddenly grabs her and kisses her.
