Summary
of MG2 Episode 23:
Xiao Qiao (holding up the glass): “I’ll propose a toast to everyone. Very happy that I am invited to your gathering.”
F3 and Xiao Qiao takes a sip of their wine, while Mei Zuo just sits there.
Mei Zuo: “Don’t be too happy. We were just placing a bet before to see who could make his girl come at his beckoning. (pause) Can’t believe that you are so obedient.”
Xiao Qiao (smiling): “Really? Then I’m really honored.”
Mei Zuo: “Since you are so obedient and gave me such face in front of my buddies, (pause) then I feel that I should give you a present.”
Xiao Qiao looks over at Mei Zuo and Mei Zuo suddenly grabs her and kisses her. F3 looks on at the two of them, surprised and shocked. Mei Zuo pulls away from Xiao Qiao and she holds a hand over her mouth that had just been kissed.
Mei Zuo (looks at F3): “Everyone, (Xiao Qiao tries to hold her composure together.) This is my very obedient, well matched in social status, number 101 girlfriend. (turns to look over at Xiao Qiao) The kiss just now is all thanks to my friends. (Xiao Qiao forces a smile on her face.) You should say thank you to them.”
Xiao Qiao smiles lightly then gets up and pours more red wine from the bottle into her glass. While F3 looks up at her in surprise, Xiao Qiao downs the whole glass of red wine. There was total silence around the table as everyone feels a little uneasy.
Xiao Qiao (finishes drinking her wine): “My capacity for liquor is not that good. After drinking this cup, I think that it should be about enough. I think I better not be disturbing everybody’s interest anymore. If there is another chance next time, then I would definitely talk more with you guys. Goodbye.”
Xiao Qiao walks away with the empty wine glass in her hand. Then she comes back and picks up her purse that she left behind. She wanted to put the glass back down on the table but then she took it with her again. She still seems to be a little disoriented over the kiss.
Xi Men: “Mei Zuo, you should bring her back.”
Mei Zuo stands up and walks over to Xiao Qiao. He puts the empty wine glass back on the table and then turns to her.
Mei Zuo: “Let’s go.”
Once Mei Zuo leaves with Xiao Qiao, Dao Ming Si turns to look at Xi Men and Lei.
Dao Ming Si: “Eh, is Mei Zuo a little over the line this time?”
Xi Men: “I think that this Ying Xiao Qiao is not bad. Why doesn't Mei Zuo like her?”
Lei: “Really? I feel that Mei Zuo is already in love with her.”
Away from the sight of F3, Xiao Qiao is walking in front of Mei Zuo and Mei Zuo is following behind her. Suddenly, Xiao Qiao stops, turns around and slaps Mei Zuo. Two guys that are sitting at the bar on the side saw Xiao Qiao slapping Mei Zuo and giggles before turning away.
Xiao Qiao: “A while ago, it was for your face. This slap now is for my face.”
Mei Zuo doesn’t say anything and just looks at her.
Xiao Qiao: “Tomorrow's date is at 2 p.m. in the afternoon. Please remember to come on time to pick me up.”
After saying that Xiao Qiao turns around and leaves. The two guys that are at the bar turns to laugh at Mei Zuo again. Mei Zuo stares at them and they quickly turns away. Mei Zuo smiles, rubbing his cheek and follows Xiao Qiao.
Meanwhile, San Cai and Ye Sha is at a bookstore. Ye Sha is walking around looking and San Cai is standing in front of a wall of books reading a book call ‘Perceptive Memory’. Ye Sha walks over and stands a couple of feet away from San Cai. San Cai notices Ye Sha standing there and smiles at her before putting the book back on the shelf and then walking away. Ye Sha walks over and looks at the book that San Cai was reading and picks it up. After leaving the bookstore, San Cai and Ye Sha are at a coffee shop. Ye Sha starts to take out the books that she bought from the bookstore.
San Cai: “What books did you buy?”
Ye Sha (taking out a book): “The best one is this one. (shows San Cai) Look. This photography album has photographs of the big cities around the world.”
She starts to turn the pages of the book to show San Cai.
Ye Sha: “Before I go to sleep, I would look at this page by page. That way, when I fall asleep, I might dream about going to travel around all these places.”
San Cai (looking at the pictures): “It sounds very good.”
Ye Sha (nods her head in agreement, looks at one picture): “Venice. (turns the page and looks at a stone structure) Heard that it was going to be destroyed soon. So have to hurry up and go see it.”
San Cai: “Really?”
Ye Sha (turning the page again): “I feel that in my past life I must have been a dolphin. From the Pacific Ocean swimming to the Atlantic Ocean. From the North Sea swimming to the South Sea. Constantly in the water. But, very curious about what exactly is the condition on dry land. Finally, this dolphin came down with an anxiety illness and then died. So this life, she reincarnated and became a smart person. Working hard to learn all the different languages and also to learn how to draw. In order to make up for the past life’s regrets, therefore, have to go to all the places around the world to travel. And see all the things that are on this dry land world and then draw it.”
San Cai (smiling): “Your imagination is really very rich.”
They both laugh.
Ye Sha (smiling): “If not, then why would I love traveling so much? Moreover, I’ve started liking it since I was very young. (pause, very serious all of a sudden) If I stay too long in one place, then I would have this feeling of suffocation.”
San Cai is turning the pages of the album and stops on one page seeing a picture of the church that she saw in Barcelona.
San Cai (smiling): “Sheng Jia Tang.”
Ye Sha (looks at the picture also): “Barcelona.”
San Cai: “It’s very beautiful. The last time I went, I didn’t even have enough time to take more pictures. And also didn’t have a chance to buy souvenirs. If there is another chance, then I would definitely go again.”
Ye Sha (smiles lightly): “Right. I have always forgot to ask you. When I and Ah Sing had the car accident, we found a ring, with a design of a meteor star. (San Cai quickly looks up at Ye Sha.) Is it yours?”
San Cai: “You found this ring?”
Ye Sha (nods her head): “But it’s such a pity. Not long after we got to Taiwan, it was stolen by a thief.”
San Cai (looks down in disappointment): “Maybe that’s good. This ring has a curse on it.”
Ye Sha: “But then this ring is really yours? Or is it that Ah Sing was going to give it to you?”
San Cai (looks up at Ye Sha): “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Anyway, it’s not important.”
Ye Sha: “Tell me, San Cai.”
San Cai: “At that time, Dao Ming Si told me to go to the small church to see him. He went by himself to buy the ring first. And then… it’s now. You know about it already.”
Ye Sha doesn’t say anything and just looks on with no expression on her face. Then she forces a smile on her face.
Ye Sha: “Don’t worry. Ah Si will slowly start to regain his memory. (San Cai looks over at Ye Sha.) Soon his memories will return to the time before Barcelona. Then you two will be like old times again and I won’t have to travel by looking at these pictures. Everything will be fine.”
San Cai (serious face): “Ye Sha, what if, after Dao Ming Si regains his memories, he still loves you?”
Ye Sha (laughs it off): “Stupid! How can that be?”
San Cai (smiling also): “Dao Ming Si used to always call me stupid too.”
Ye Sha: “Then now, you must really want to hear him yell at you once again.”
San Cai doesn’t answer, just smiles lightly and goes back to looking at the book.
That night, back in Dao Ming Mansion. Dao Ming Si and Ye Sha are standing outside in the yard area. Ye Sha is standing there with a cell phone in her hand and holding it close to Dao Ming Si’s mouth. Dao Ming Si stares at the phone for a long time before swallowing and then with a very bored expression on his face starts to talk.
Dao Ming Si (with a bland tone): “Stupid, answer the phone. Stupid, answer the phone. (Ye Sha sucks her teeth in annoyance at his tone.) If you really are stupid.”
Ye Sha: “No. You have to yell more seriously. Like you are very angry and very hurt. Again.”
She puts the phone in front of him again.
Dao Ming Si (gets annoyed): “I can’t yell out.”
Ye Sha: “Yes, you can. Hurry up.”
Dao Ming Si (wants to protest): “I…”
Ye Sha stares at him with one hand on her hip and Dao Ming Si’s stops protesting.
Dao Ming Si (irritated): “The other one is very good, why do you have to use this one?”
Ye Sha: “Can you just record it first, ok?”
Dao Ming Si (annoyed): “Aiyo!”
Ye Sha: “Come.”
He grabs the phone from her hands and then yells out loudly toward it, “Stupid, answer the phone! Stupid, answer the phone!”
Ye Sha pulls back smiling with one hand covering her ear. Then she takes the phone from his hands and smiling says, “Thank you!” After getting what she wants, she turns to leave.
Dao Ming Si (calling out to her back): “Hey! You still haven’t told me why…”
He didn’t finish his question because Ye Sha had already walked away.
Xi Men is finally released from his home and back to work. As he walks toward his office, the employees are asking about his health.
Xi Men: “Good morning.”
Girl Employee: “Manager! Your health has recovered?”
Xi Men (smiling): “Yes.”
Girl Employee: “Congratulations!”
Xi Men: “All better. Thank you.”
He continues to walk down the hall.
Employee: “Manager, Good morning.”
Xi Men: “Good morning.”
Inside Xi Men’s office, his assistant is cleaning the stuff that is on his desk. As Xi Men walks into the office, his assistant looks up from what he is doing.
Assistant (surprised): “Eh, Manager.”
Xi Men (walks toward his chair behind the desk): “Good Morning.”
Assistant (walks after Xi Men): “Manager, didn’t the President give an order for you to rest for a few more days?”
Xi Men (looking at the things on his desk): “If I continue to rest, then I’m going to become moldy.”
Assistant: “Orh.”
Xi Men (looks at his assistant): “My father did tell me to lay down at home, but laying down makes me even more tired. (His assistant nods his head in understanding.) Well, (Xi Men pats his assistant on the arm.) are you prepared for more overtime?”
Assistant (nods his head): “Yes, Manager. I can work overtime any time!”
Xi Men: “Then the first thing we should do is…”
Assistant (finishes his sentence for him): “I’ll go and get you a cup of black coffee first.”
Xi Men: “Have to trouble you.”
Assistant (bows): “Not a problem at all.”
His assistant walks away to get the coffee and Xi Men sits down at his desk and begins to look at one of the folders there. As he was looking through one of the folders, he heard someone come up to his desk and assumes that it was his assistant.
Xi Men (talking without looking up): “Assistant Xu, this document is…”
Xi Men’s dad (standing in front of Xi Men’s desk): “You, buddy. (Xi Men looks up in surprise.) Didn’t I tell you not to report back to work this early?”
Xi Men (smiles): “Pa, there’s nothing wrong with me already. If I don’t come to work, then I just can’t seem to stay at home.”
Dad (smiling): “Fine. But you have to watch out for your own health. Don’t be over tired.”
At this moment, Xi Men’s assistant walks in with a cup of coffee in his hands.
Assistant: “Manager.”
He starts to walk over and sees Xi Men’s dad.
Assistant (bows): “President.”
Then Xi Men’s assistant starts to put Xi Men’s coffee on his desk.
Assistant: “Manager, your black coffee.”
Xi Men: “Thank you.”
Dad: “Assistant Xu.”
Assistant: “Yes, President.”
Dad (to the assistant): “This stuff is not good for his stomach. Don’t let him drink it.”
Assistant: “Orh.”
Xi Men’s assistant picks up the cup of coffee and walks toward the door with it. Xi Men’s dad looks at his watch. When the assistant is by the door, he turns around and looks at Xi Men. He makes a motion that he was going to bring the coffee away and then bring it back again. Xi Men looks over at him, smiles widely and nods his head. Xi Men’s dad notices him and turns around to look at Xi Men’s assistant. When the assistant saw that Xi Men’s dad was looking at him, he quickly walks away with the cup of coffee.
In the park, Qing He and Mimi are sitting on a bench together and Mimi is reading a little book.
Qing He: “Well? Is it ok?”
Mimi nods her head while turning the pages of the book.
Qing He: “Is there anything else that needs to be added on?”
Mimi bites her lips and shakes her head. Then suddenly she started crying. Qing He looks at her in surprise then he looks around a couple of times. As Mimi starts to cry loudly, he quickly moves away from her and sits at the edge of the bench.
Qing He (looking around again, with a nervous expression): “Mimi. Can you please don’t cry? If you continue like this, then other people might think that I might have did something to you.”
Mimi (drying her tears): “Ying De University’s love myth. San Cai Senior and Dao Ming Si Senior’s story. Under Dearest Qing He Senior’s diligent hard work, I now understand everything.”
Qing He (quickly moves back next to Mimi and grabs the book from her hands): “Really? I spent a whole day and night thinking, racking my brains, continuously thinking about the things that happened in the past and took down these notes. Its missing bits and pieces here and there, you still can understand it?”
Mimi (nods her head): “Of course! Moreover, it is very touching.”
Qing He: “So, I only need to show these notes to Dao Ming Si, then it would definitely be able to help Dao Ming Si’s memories.”
Mimi (agrees): “Definitely! Of course! It’s guarantee to work! (pause, smiling shyly) Qing He Senior, I have a very personal question. Wonder if I can ask you about it?”
Qing He: “Could it be… that your dad said something to you again?”
Mimi: “Oh, no, no. (pause) I was saying, Qing He Senior. (She suddenly grabs onto Qing He’s arm and Qing He pulls back a little in surprise.) If by any chance, there comes a day when something happens to me, would you care about me like you care about San Cai Senior?”
Qing He looks away and then stands up. Mimi is still waiting for his answer.
Qing He (smiling slightly, taking his arm out of Mimi’s grasp): “No.”
Then he sits back down on the bench.
Mimi (stood there with a disappointed look on her face): “Oh.”
Then she sits back down next to Qing He and looks unhappy. Qing He sees the way that Mimi looks, quickly tries to think up of something to comfort her.
Qing He: “Well, it’s because… You and I do not know each other that well. When the day comes that you are like the way that I and San Cai know each other, then I would do all that I can to protect you.”
Mimi (smiling again): “Hearing Qing He Senior say this, it makes me feel very relieved. I will definitely continue to work harder.”
Qing He: “Of course! Have to continue to work harder. But now we have to work hard for San Cai’s happiness.”
He reaches in his pant pocket for his cell phone. Mimi nods her head in agreement. Qing He takes out his phone and scrolls down his address book to find Dao Ming Si’s phone number.
In Dao Ming Si’s office, he is sitting at his desk and signing some documents with his assistant standing next to him.
Dao Ming Si (closes up the file that he just signed): “Ok. Thank you.”
Then he hands it over to his assistant.
Assistant: “Also, sorry, Manager. I’m going outside for lunch. Do you need me to help you bring some lunch back?”
Dao Ming Si: “Huh? It’s lunch already? (pauses and thinks) Oh, that’s ok. I have already made plans with someone. Thank you.”
Assistant: “Then if there’s nothing else, I’ll go now.”
Dao Ming Si: “Ok. Fine.”
He sat at his desk thinking, then picks up his cell phone. He stares at his cell phone for a while before putting it down and getting up from his desk. The moment that he walks away, his cell phone started ringing on his desk.
In San Cai’s department, San Cai just received a package and is signing for it.
San Cai (handing the clipboard back to the deliver guy): “Thank you.”
Guy: “Miss, this is a delivery and pick up.”
San Cai: “Oh.”
She quickly opens up the package and reads the note that is inside.
Note from Michelle: “This is the newest ‘exchange cell phones game.’ So, hurry up and send your cell phone back to me.”
After reading the note, San Cai takes the cell phone out from inside the package. Then she puts her own cell phone into the envelope and hands it back to the delivery guy that is waiting.
San Cai: “Thank you.”
She picks up the cell phone and is looking at it when Dao Ming Si walks over.
Dao Ming Si: “Hey, workaholic. It’s lunchtime.”
He walks away without waiting for an answer and San Cai smiles and follows him.
After lunch, San Cai and Dao Ming Si goes back to the office. They got in the elevator and San Cai pushes the number for her floor.
San Cai: “Dao Ming Si, thank you for treating me to lunch.”
Dao Ming Si (smiles): “Thank you for helping me order that breakfast van. Thank you for hanging out with Ye Sha. Thank you for making Ye Sha this happy.”
San Cai (smiling): “Why so many ‘thank yous’?”
Dao Ming Si: “You were the one that thanked me first.”
San Cai: “Orh. Then let’s agree that we don’t have to say thank you anymore.”
Dao Ming Si: “Hmm, (nods his head) it’s settled then.”
San Cai nods her head. Then the elevator stops on San Cai’s floor.
San Cai: “Bye bye.”
Dao Ming Si nods his head and San Cai walks out of the elevator. The minute that she walks out, her cell phone starts ringing, “Stupid, answer the phone! Stupid, answer the phone!” San Cai looks at the phone, turns to look at Dao Ming Si and then looks back at the phone. Dao Ming Si looks at San Cai with a startled look. He was just about to walk out of the elevator after San Cai when the door closed shut.
San Cai (answering the phone): “Hello? Ye Sha?”
Meanwhile, Dao Ming Si goes back to his office and walks over to sit on the edge of his desk. As he sat there, he reaches over the desk to pick up his cell phone and sees the missed call. Then he dials the number of the missed caller.
Dao Ming Si: “Hello? Bao fa hu de er zi, what are you looking for me for?”
Mimi and Qing He are sitting at a coffee shop together. Mimi takes out the little book that Qing He wrote the story of San Cai and Dao Ming Si in and puts in on the table with a smile on her face. At this moment, Dao Ming Si walks into the shop and looks around. Qing He looks over at the doorway and squinting his eyes, sees him.
Qing He (calling out): “Dao Ming Si! Over here!”
Mimi and Qing He both stand up from their seats and Dao Ming Si looks over at them. Then he walks toward their table.
Mimi: “Dao Ming Si Senior, please sit.”
Qing He: “Right, right, right. Sit. Don’t be so courteous. Treat this as your own home.”
Dao Ming Si looks around and then sits down. Qing He sits down with him also but Mimi just stood there and stares at Dao Ming Si in awe.
Qing He (notices that she is still standing and tries to catch her attention): “Psssst. Pssst.”
When she looks over at him, he makes the motion of ‘sit down’ with his hand. Mimi sits down and continues to stare at Dao Ming Si with an idolized look on her face. No one says anything and just stared at each other. Dao Ming Si finally makes a move to say something and a waitress comes over.
Waitress (handing Dao Ming Si a menu): “Mr., excuse me. Do you want to order anything?”
Dao Ming Si (looks at the menu): “A coconut juice, please.”
Waitress (taking the menu back): “Great, thank you.”
The waitress walks away and there was silence again as the 3 of them sat at the table and continue to stare at each other.
Dao Ming Si (finally had enough, looks at Qing He): “Didn’t you say that there was something very urgent? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Qing He: “Oh. Then let’s get started. Mimi.”
Mimi (breaking out of her stance at staring at Dao Ming Si): “Huh? Oh.”
She picks up the book and opens her mouth to speak but is stopped by Qing He.
Qing He (holding up a hand): “Just a minute. (looks at Dao Ming Si) Dao Ming Si, I want to go over something very clearly with you first. Everything that is about to happen, you don’t have to thank me. Everything that I do is for San Cai.”
Dao Ming Si: “For San Cai?”
Qing He nods his head.
Dao Ming Si: “What exactly are you up to?”
Qing He: “I’m not up to anything. I am the messenger that God has sent to rescue you.”
Dao Ming Si (amused smile): “Rescue me…”
Qing He (interrupting): “Fine. If you insist on definitely thanking me, then… you let me officially join F4 and become F5. (looks at Mimi) Mimi, let’s start.”
Mimi: “Dao Ming Si Senior, and now I, Mimi Junior, will officially serve you. (reading from book) This entire story starts from the first day of school. (Dao Ming Si has an amused look on his face.) San Cai Senior’s helpful, brave spirit, provoked F4’s leader Dao Ming Si Senior. Dao Ming Si Senior decided to use the red tag to punish San Cai’s weed spirit. (Dao Ming Si’s amused look is gone from his face.) Who would have thought that because of this, Dao Ming Si would have fallen in love with San Cai.”
Flashback from Meteor Garden:
The time when Dao Ming Si took San Cai’s canvas shoes and made a hole into the front so that his foot would fit through.
Dao Ming Si: “Is it this pair of shoes?”
San Cai (a horrified look on her face): “My shoes! (glares angrily at Dao Ming Si) The new semester is only just starting and you are already bullying me! You big headed pig!”
End of flashback.
Mimi (reading): “Hence, at your birthday party, San Cai Senior provoked your cold blooded mother.
Flashback from Meteor Garden:
San Cai is banging on the piano at Dao Ming Si’s birthday party while Dao Ming Feng stares at her with unwelcoming eyes.
End of flashback.
Mimi (reading): “The cookies that San Cai Senior made with her own hands, became your most cherished birthday present.”
Flashback from Meteor Garden:
Dao Ming Si slowly opening up the box of cookies in his car with San Cai.
San Cai: “I baked those at the pastry shop that I work in. (Dao Ming Si slowly picks up a cookie from inside the box with his hand.) It’s a little burned.”
End of flashback.
Mimi (reading): “Therefore, under Mei Zuo Senior’s fate of throwing the dart, you guys decided to head off to Barcelona for your graduation vacation. Unfortunately, the day just when Dao Ming Si Senior is going to propose to San Cai Senior, there was a car accident in Barcelona. When Dao Ming Si wakes up from the sick bed, he forgot his most beloved San Cai. (looks up at Dao Ming Si) I have finished reporting.”
Dao Ming Si had his head down and seems to be thinking about something. Qing He tries to get his attention.
Qing He: “Dao Ming Si. (pause, speaking louder) Dao Ming Si! Did you remember? (laughing, very happy with himself) I really am your ‘key to the memory’!”
Mimi continues to look at Dao Ming Si with a worried look on her face. Dao Ming Si very slowly raises his eyes up and looks at Qing He.
Dao Ming Si (quiet voice): “The motive for so urgently trying to find me is all for San Cai.”
Qing He nods his head.
Dao Ming Si: “It was all just to tell me about this past.”
Qing He: “Right. Don’t you know how much you love San Cai in the past? Don’t you know how miserable San Cai is now?”
Dao Ming Si remembers Dao Ming Feng’s words: “But then later I found out that her motive is not so simple. She’s been constantly trying to find a chance to intervene between your and Ye Sha’s relationship. She knows how to hold onto a chance, using her own innocence and the responsibility of the car accident, and pushes it all onto Ye Sha. Made Ye Sha sink between guilt stricken and holding herself responsible. The whole motive is to make Ye Sha return you to her.”
Then Dao Ming Si remembers when Ye Sha was asking him to record that ring tone and when he heard the ring tone on San Cai’s phone after having lunch with her.
Qing He: “Dao Ming Si, you don’t have to worry. Just as long as you accept my help, then you will regain your memory very quickly. Remember everything very quickly. Dao Ming Si only loves San Cai. Dao Ming Si only loves San Cai! Dao Ming Si only loves San Cai! (hitting his fist against the table with each word) DAO MING SI ONLY LOVES SAN CAI! Dao Ming Si, do you understand?”
Dao Ming Si (shouts loudly): “THAT’S ENOUGH!”
Qing He backs up in surprise at the out burst from Dao Ming Si.
Dao Ming Si: “Even if I regain my memories, I won’t love San Cai.”
He gets up angrily and his chair scrapes back very loudly.
Qing He (gets up and calls after Dao Ming Si’s back): “Dao Ming Si!”
Dao Ming Si just continues walking without looking back or answering.
Qing He (sits back down in his seat): “He said that he won’t like San Cai – what does that mean?”
Mimi: “Reporting to Qing He Senior. I think that Dao Ming Si Senior must be saying angry words. So, to be exact, he, seems to be mad.”
Qing He: “Mad? I was working so hard to do this, why is he mad? How can Dao Ming Si waste my whole day and whole night’s troubles?”
The waitress brings over Dao Ming Si’s coconut juice and leaves it on the table.
Mimi: “Reporting to Senior. Your troubles would definitely not be a waste. Even if Dao Ming Si Senior doesn’t understand, San Cai Senior also doesn’t understand, (Qing He reaches across the table for the coconut juice.) but at least there is still me. (Qing He starts to use the straw to drink and then giving up on the straw, he starts drinking straight out of the glass itself.) I completely understand Qing He Senior’s hard work. So, Senior, you must persevere with your efforts.”
Qing He (finishes gulping down the whole glass of coconut juice and puts the empty glass back on the table): “What’s the use of only you understanding me? Mimi, then what should I do?”
Mimi: “Senior don’t have to worry. We can immediately start Plan B.”
Qing He (surprise): “There’s still a Plan B?”
Mimi nods her head.
Qing He (happy): “Mimi! You have so many plans?”
Outside the coffee shop, Dao Ming Si’s driver drives up with the car and Dao Ming Si gets in. As he sits in the car staring out the window, an image of himself running around Barcelona, the time when he and San Cai got separated, appears in his mind. The car stops in front of a hospital and Dao Ming Si gets off to go inside. When he finishes seeing the doctor, he comes out of the hospital and walks around in the streets by himself. As he walks around, the words that the doctor said to him is repeating in his mind.
Doctor: “Based on your condition now, it could be that the blood clot inside your head is starting to disappear. That means, your memory would be starting to come back with the disappearance of the blood clot. Even though saying congratulations is still a bit early, (Dao Ming Si is walking down the road of Ying De University.) a detailed explanation, would have to wait until the report comes out before we make a conclusion. But I still have to congratulate you in regaining your memories.”
Dao Ming Si walks through Ying De and goes to the staircase where he was roughly trying to kiss San Cai in Meteor Garden. Then he goes up to the rooftop and sits on the ledge looking out at the scenery. Finally he goes to the locker area and stood staring at the lockers.
That night, outside of Dao Ming mansion, Sha Ge and Ye Sha are looking at the stars with a telescope.
Ye Sha (looking up from the telescope): “I found it! I found it!”
She waves Sha Ge over to look at through the telescope.
Ye Sha (shouting up at the sky): “Brave Ye Sha! How are you?”
Sha Ge (answering for the star): “I’m very good. How are you?”
Ye Sha (giggling): “I’m not too good. I want to go traveling!”
At this moment, Dao Ming Si stands near the door and hears her.
Dao Ming Si: “Then we’ll go travel.”
Sha Ge and Ye Sha turns to look at him in surprise.
Ye Sha: “You’re back?”
Dao Ming Si walks over to stand between Ye Sha and Sha Ge.
Dao Ming Si (looking at Ye Sha): “We’ll leave tomorrow. Or now? (He roughly grabs Ye Sha’s arm and replies without waiting for an answer.) Fine. Let’s go. We’ll head off…”
Ye Sha (cries out in pain): “Ow! What are you doing?”
Sha Ge: “Ah Sing!”
Dao Ming Si (holdling onto Ye Sha’s right wrist): “Don’t you want to go travel? Then why are we still staying here for?!”
Ye Sha: “I do want to go traveling but now it’s not the right time.”
Dao Ming Si: “Why is it not the right time?”
Ye Sha: “Because you still haven’t regained your memories yet.”
Dao Ming Si (loudly): “What’s that suppose to mean?!”
Sha Ge: “Ye Sha’s meaning is that what if you guys are traveling and then the after effects of your car accident suddenly comes…”
Dao Ming Si (loudly interrupting): “You don’t have to worry about that! (looks at Ye Sha) I will overcome it myself. Anyway, I have already decided, we will go traveling tomorrow.”
Ye Sha: “What’s the rush?”
Dao Ming Si doesn’t say anything, just looks at Ye Sha exasperatedly and takes a deep breath.
Sha Ge: “Ah Sing, your feelings right now seems to be like you are trying to run away from something. Like…”
Dao Ming Si: “What am I running away for? I just don’t want anyone to be disturbing me and Ye Sha. (pause, using a soft tone toward Ye Sha again) Anyway, I just want us to happily go traveling. I guarantee that we will become even better. (He grabs onto her other arm with his other hand.) Is that good?”
Ye Sha: “Fine. We’ll go traveling. After you see the gift that I have to give you, then we’ll go traveling.”
Dao Ming Si: “Gift?”
Ye Sha nods her head and pulls him along: “Come with me.”
In Ye Sha’s room, Dao Ming Si is sitting on the sofa and Ye Sha walks up behind him and hands him a paper bag.
Ye Sha: “This is for you.”
Dao Ming Si (takes the bag from her): “Why are you giving me a gift all of a sudden?”
Ye Sha (standing up straight): “Because I’m happy.”
She walks around and sits down next to him on the sofa.
Dao Ming Si (staring at the bag): “After I see this, you have to go traveling with me – you said it.”
Ye Sha nods her head happily.
Ye Sha: “Right. I said it.”
Dao Ming Si: “I’m looking.”
Ye Sha nods her head again.
Dao Ming Si opens the bag and pulls out a book, the same one that San Cai was looking at in the bookstore. Dao Ming Si stares at the book for a long time with no expression on his face.
Dao Ming Si (quietly): “Why?”
He pulls the whole book out of the bag and drops the bag to the ground.
Ye Sha (smiling): “I think that should be able to help you.”
Dao Ming Si (still staring at the book): “Help? Help what? Help me find back the memories of San Cai? (pause) Why is it that San Cai’s dates are always more important than me?”
Ye Sha stops smiling and looks back and forth from the book to Dao Ming Si’s face.
Dao Ming Si: “Why is it that ever since San Cai appeared, your attitude towards me has changed so totally different? (turns his head to look at Ye Sha) Why? (loudly) Tell me why?!”
Ye Sha: “Because… because it is all my fault. Because, if it wasn’t for me, (Dao Ming Si turns his head away in annoyance.) you and San Cai would not be like the way that you are now.”
Dao Ming Si: “So you want to help me to regain my memories and then return me back to San Cai. (He looks back at her again.) Does that mean I have no meaning to you at all? (Ye Sha doesn’t say anything.) Then what does the engagement mean?”
He gets very angry and throws the book down and shouts, “THEN WHAT DOES THAT MAKE ME?!”
Ye Sha backs away a bit in surprise while Dao Ming Si gets up quickly from the sofa and heads toward the door angrily.
Ye Sha (picking up the book from the floor and gets up): “Ah Sing!”
Dao Ming Si walks toward the door in angry strides while Ye Sha quickly runs after him calling out, “Ah Sing!”
He stops by the door and swivels around to face her.
Dao Ming Si: “You want me to regain my memories… (He roughly snatches the book out of her hands.) Fine! But I’ll tell you very clearly, even if I regain my memories, (he shouts the last part) I WON’T GO BACK TO LOVE SAN CAI!! The more you push me towards her, (He shouts again.) THE MORE I WILL HATE HER!!”
He turns toward the door again, but Ye Sha quickly grabs hold of his left arm and stops him.
Ye Sha: “Ah Sing! You can’t treat San Cai like that!”
Dao Ming Si is very, very angry. He turns around again and roughly grabs her right arm.
Dao Ming Si (shouting): “YA SHA!! (in a soft, hurt voice) I’m begging you… don’t make me hate you too, ok?”
He pushes her away and yanks the door open to get out. The door bangs loudly against the wall and Ye Sha stands there with her arms wrapped around herself, staring down at the floor.
Sha Ge (almost being ran over by the charging Dao Ming Si, looks at Dao Ming Si’s back): “What’s going on, Ah Sing?”
Sha Ge walks over to Ye Sha and looks at her.
Sha Ge: “What happened? Why was there so much noise?”
Ye Sha (looks at Sha Ge before turning away): “This is good. (in a shaky tone) This is good.”
Sha Ge: “What’s so good about that?”
He walks over to the door and looks out for Dao Ming Si, then looks back at Ye Sha.
Later, Ye Sha is sitting on the sofa and drawing a picture of the back of Dao Ming Si. All of a sudden, her right hand starting shaking uncontrollably. She drops the charcoal that she was holding and grabs onto her right hand with her left hand. She starts gasping in pain as she tries to control the shaking of her hand.
Ye Sha (crying): “I would rather you hate me… I would rather…”
As she sat there crying, one lonely tear fell onto the drawing.
Next day, San Cai is the office working. She is talking to someone in the hallway.
San Cai: “Thank you. I understand.”
Then the elevator stops on the floor that she is on with a “ding.” San Cai quickly runs over to the elevator.
San Cai (calls out): “Hold the elevator!”
It just so happens that Dao Ming Si is the one that is in the elevator. He looks up and stares at San Cai with no expression on his face. San Cai seeing that it was Dao Ming Si calls out to him.
San Cai: “Dao Ming Si!”
As she runs over to the elevator, the door closes and Dao Ming Si made no move to keep the door open. San Cai stood there waiting for the elevator and felt a little weird at what just happened. So she runs up to the rooftop and as she stood there, Dao Ming Si walks up behind her.
Dao Ming Si: “In order to bully you, (San Cai turns around in surprise.) I attached your motorcycle to the back of my car and pulled it along. (He stops in front of her.) In order to bully you, I made everyone in Ying De go against you. Who would have ever thought that everything I did would make me fall in love with you.”
San Cai (happy): “You remembered!”
At this moment, Dao Ming Si’s cell phone started ringing. He slowly holds it up, with the face of the phone facing San Cai.
Dao Ming Si: “The one that remembered is not me. It’s your friend Qing He.”
He then hangs up on the call.
Dao Ming Si: “I only want to tell you. I am trying really hard to find my memories now. (pause) But it’s not because of you. (pause) It’s because of Ye Sha. (San Cai silently stares at Dao Ming Si.) It doesn’t matter how many memories we have between us, the one that I love is still Ye Sha. (pause) So, please stop using the friends that are beside you, who cares for you, to force me to go back to your side.”
Dao Ming Si turns around and gets ready to leave.
San Cai: “Dao Ming Si! (speaking to his back) Using friends… You feel that I’m the type of person who would use their friends? (looks away from his back) Today I finally understand that you have really totally forgotten about me. (She bites her lips to try to stop crying.) You really did forget.”
Dao Ming Si: “That’s right. I just want to let you know, those unimportant people, unimportant things, even when I have those memories, I would forget.”
Dao Ming Si walks away without even looking back while San Cai stood there and started crying uncontrollably.
San Cai (speaking to herself while trying to stop crying): “Can’t cry. San Cai you can’t cry! It’s not worth it to cry for this Dao Ming Si. (sobbing) Not worth it…”
She stands there with her head down and continues to cry, heartbrokenly.
Dao Ming Si is back in his office and sitting at his desk and thinking, while San Cai is squatting on her heels on the rooftop and crying with her hands over her face. As Dao Ming Si sits there staring out the window, he sees a balloon floating up. He quickly gets up and walks over to the window. Then he’s back at his desk and stood there with both hands on the desk and his head down. Suddenly, he lashes out and pushes everything on his desk off to the floors and then slams his palm onto the top of the desk in anger. As he looks up, he sees the picture of F4 and San Cai on the floor and he turns his head away in pain. Then his cell phone started ringing but Dao Ming Si doesn’t answer and just sits back down with pain on his face and rests his head on the desk.
Qing He and Mimi is sitting on top of a children’s slide in a park. Qing He is on the cell phone, while Mimi looks at him. Seeing that the other caller isn’t going to pick up, Qing He gives up and slides down the slide. Mimi follows suit and slides down on the other side of the slide.
Mimi (sitting at the bottom of the slide): “What’s wrong? Qing He Senior, was it cut off again?”
Qing He (looks at Mimi): “It seems like I can only find F3 for help.”
Mimi looks at Qing He and nods her head.
Qing He, Mimi and Xi Men are sitting at a coffee shop. Xi Men is drinking a cup of coffee and Qing He and Mimi is just sitting there staring at him.
Qing He: “After the Valentine’s Day event last time, I believe that Xi Men, you should be very clear that once I, Qing He, takes action, then everything is going to be ok. You say am I right or not? So…”
Xi Men (interrupting): “Qing He. Get to the main point.”
Qing He: “My main point is that, help me arrange for Dao Ming Si to come out.”
Xi Men: “Didn’t Ah Si recognize you at first glance? If you want to meet up with him, then why don’t you arrange it yourself?”
Qing He (slowly speaking): “But… because… (finally gives up) Mimi, you say it.”
Mimi: “Orh. (turns to Xi Men) Reporting to a very handsome, very cool, very powerful looking Xi Men Senior, it’s all like this. Because Qing He Senior found out that he is Dao Ming Si Senior’s ‘memory key.’ So for San Cai Senior’s happiness, he decided to help Dao Ming Si Senior to regain his memories. Therefore, he arranges to meet with Dao Ming Si Senior, with my help and a very detailed report of his and San Cai Senior’s touching love story. But don’t know for what reason, Dao Ming Si Senior left very unhappily. And from then on, he stopped answering Qing He Senior’s phone calls. End of reporting.”
Xi Men (amused at Mimi): “Qing He, even though you constantly get yourself into these strange matters… but I really can’t help you with this matter.”
Qing He: “HUH?! Can’t help? How can you be like this? (pause) Aren’t you guys F4? (pause) Isn’t Dao Ming Si your friend? (pause) Don’t you want to help your friend to regain his memories?”
Xi Men: “It’s because Ah Si is our friend, no matter what he changes to, he will still be our friend. (pause) I know that what you are doing is out of good intentions, but I still have to reminder you that the things that you are doing to Ah Si, could in fact ruin this very uneasily, new relationship that has built up between him and San Cai.”
Qing He: “What does that mean?”
Xi Men (picking up his cup of coffee): “It means that you should stop this fantasy thinking plan of yours.”
Qing He: “Then what would happen to San Cai? (pause) Did you guys ever help San Cai think? Are you guys just going to watch Dao Ming Si and this whatever Budan Princess get married?”
Xi Men: “Of course, I don’t want to see San Cai unhappy. But feelings are not something that you can force. I believe you should be very clear about this point.”
Qing He: “So, what you are saying is that… I like San Cai, but San Cai… (pauses) But that’s not right. Because… Because…”
Mimi (finishes Qing He’s sentence): “Because the one that he loves originally is San Cai Senior.”
Qing He: “Right!”
Xi Men: “That is all in the past. (pause) The one that Ah Si likes now is Ye Sha. Regretfully, but that is the truth. (Xi Men picks up his backpack.) I still have something to do. I’m leaving first.”
He gets up and walks away from the table.
Qing He (calls out to Xi Men’s back): “Xi Men. Hey!”
Qing He gets up and runs after Xi Men and stops him.
Qing He: “Xi Men. You can’t be like this. Lei and Mei Zuo is not helping me. San Cai only has you left as a chance, Xi Men.”
Xi Men nods his head, pats Qing He on the arm and walks away without saying anything. Mimi runs over to Qing He from the table.
Qing He (speaking after Xi Men’s back): “Fine. Don’t help then don’t help. (crosses his arm) Who doesn’t know that you guys are jealous that Dao Ming Si remembers me! (points to his chest with each word) Remembers me, Qing He! (crosses his arms again and smirks) F3 doesn’t have any loyalty. F3 doesn’t have any boldness. F3… (shouts loudly) IS VERY DETESTABLE!”
Mimi jumps back a little in surprise.
Mimi: “Senior is so right! I use to think that they were handsome, cool and powerful looking. Later I discover that what my dad said was right. A man without loyalty, even if he is very handsome and very cool, is of no use.”
Qing He (puffs up his chest): “That’s exactly right!”
Mimi: “Only Qing He Senior is a real true man among all the men.”
Qing He nods his head.
Qing He (dejected voice): “Mimi, but what are we suppose to do now? Dao Ming Si is not answering my phone. F3 is not going to help us. (pause) Then how are we going to start this Plan B?”
Mimi (thinks and then smiles): “Senior, there is a very good saying. The people that can solve the problem are the people that know the problem.”
Qing He: “What does that mean?”
Mimi: “What I mean is that someone put up a bell somewhere. At night when it’s so noisy that everyone can’t sleep, then the people will be anxious to take the bell down. But…”
Qing He (interrupting her): “Mimi. (pause) Get to the main point.”
Mimi: “Reporting to Senior. My main point is that why don’t we go and find this Budan Princess directly for help?”
Qing He: “Budan Princess… (pause, thinking) Right! Why didn’t I think of that?”
That night, Ye Sha is walking outside in the yard of Dao Ming Mansion. As she is walking back and forth in the yard, she is replaying the words that Qing He said to her on the phone.
Qing He’s message: “I am Qing He. I am Dao Ming Si’s very, very good buddy. So, since our relationship is so good and tomorrow is a vacation day, I and you guys and San Cai can go swimming together. How about it?”
Ye Sha continues walking and remembers the words that Dao Ming Si said to her: “Even if I regain my memories, I WON’T GO BACK TO LOVE SAN CAI!! The more you push me towards her, THE MORE I WILL HATE HER!! YA SHA!! I’m begging you… don’t make me hate you too, ok?”
Suddenly she stops walking and looks up in the sky, eyes searching around and seeing only a totally dark sky. Then she turns around and walks back into the house.
Dao Ming Si is sitting on the sofa in his room and thinking. He looks up when he hears a knock on the door. Ye Sha is standing outside his door and waiting for him to open the door. Dao Ming Si slowly cracks the door open and sees Ye Sha standing there. He opens the door wider and comes out to lean against the side of the wall next to the door. Ye Sha leans against the post that is outside his room and leaning there next to him without saying anything. After more silence, she finally starts talking.
Ye Sha: “Why won’t you say anything?”
Dao Ming Si: “Aren’t you the one that is looking for me?”
Ye Sha: “But if you don’t say anything first, then how am I suppose to know if you are still mad. If you don’t care about me anymore.”
Dao Ming Si turns toward the wall and sighs loudly. Then he looks over at her.
Ye Sha (shaking at his arm): “Ah Si.”
No answer as Dao Ming Si’s face is turned toward the wall.
Ye Sha (resting her head on his left shoulder): “Ah Sing.”
Dao Ming Si (pushes her to stand straight): “Then you have to first promise me that you would not do such stupid things in the future again, ok?”
Ye Sha (smiling): “Then you have to first promise me to go swimming with San Cai tomorrow. (Dao Ming Si opens his mouth and wants to say something.) And then we all make up.”
Dao Ming Si (loudly): “EH! You are such a bully! You have so many requests! (pause) Why is there such a fiancé like you?”
Ye Sha (smiles): “If you don’t agree, then forget about it. Then we can just cancel the engagement.”
Dao Ming Si is angry again and raises his hand as if he is going to slap her.
Dao Ming Si: “You…”
Ye Sha stares at his raised hand in surprise. Then looks from his face to his hand and back again.
Dao Ming Si (hand still raised): “Tell me that you are just joking.”
Ye Sha (in a small voice): “It is only that.”
Dao Ming Si (lowers his hand and yells): “THEN DON’T MAKE THESE KIND OF JOKES!”
Ye Sha (quietly): “Didn’t I just say don’t talk so loud?”
Dao Ming Si (still yelling): “THEN YOU STOP THIS KIND OF JOKING!”
He turns away to the side and tries to control his temper.
Ye Sha: “What is wrong with you? Isn’t your temper always good? (putting her hand on his arm and gently shakes it again.) Why is it that you like throwing tempers recently?”
Dao Ming Si: “All because you forced it.”
Ye Sha points to herself and with no sounds coming out but moving her mouth, “Me?” Dao Ming Si doesn’t see this cause his face is turned to the side.
Ye Sha: “What? You said I was a bully. Aren’t you even more of a bully? (shaking his arm and speaking with a soft voice) Throwing a temper at me and still saying I’m wrong. Crazy.”
Dao Ming Si looks at her and then sighs while Ye Sha puts her head on his shoulder again.
Ye Sha: “Don’t be like this.”
Dao Ming Si takes his arm out of his pocket and wraps one arm around her waist. Then he turns so that his back is leaning against the wall and he pulled Ye Sha to him and wraps both arms around her, sighing really loudly.
Ye Sha (raises her head from his shoulder): “Going tomorrow?”
Dao Ming Si: “Go where?”
Ye Sha: “Go swimming.”
Dao Ming Si: “Swimming with who?”
Ye Sha: “San Cai.”
Dao Ming Si (his head to the side): “Why go swimming with her?”
Ye Sha (whines and rest her head on his shoulder again): “Ehhh... go...”
Dao Ming Si (pushing her to stand straight): “You are always...”
Dao Ming Si looks at Ye Sha’s smiling face and didn’t finish his sentence.
Dao Ming Si (a bit irritated): “Ah... whatever.”
Dao Ming Si looks to the side with a very unwilling expression on his face while Ye Sha stands there smiling happily.
