♪There’s no need to wander anymore♪ [Memory of Encaustic Tile] [Adapted from Beifeng Sanbaili’s original novel “Memory of Encaustic Tile”] [Episode 32] [May All Your Wishes Come True] So all these years, you two haven’t been in touch? Did you never even try contacting her? When we were in high school,
You had a crush on Xue, right? Yes. I had a crush on her, but when I saw her giving up the opportunity to study abroad for you, I knew who was the guy on her mind. Your turn to drink up now. Why did you break up? If we didn’t break up,
She would never have left this place. Are you still waiting for her? That makes two questions. Let’s drink. Cheers. Hey, Dad. Sunian. My colleague wants to introduce you to a girl. I’m not going to any blind date. Fine. I’ll turn him down if you don’t like it. Sure. Mr. Zheng. It’s Zhang Qi.
He’ll be there. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure he goes. If you’re so interested in this, you should go. It won’t do you any harm. Don’t put Mr. Zheng in a difficult position. I’ll come with you. Just for show. Here. We’ve run out of beer. Can you go and get some?
Sure. I’ll be right back. Be quick. Hey, Ms. Anchor. Can you do me a favor tomorrow? Drink up. That’s enough, Sunian. You’re going on a blind date tomorrow. I never want to be there anyway. You have to go. We all need love. You should stop worrying about me. What about yourself? My love…
She’s abroad. Let me ask you. How are things going with the two of you? What we have is called Platonic love. We’re different. Your relationship progressed very quickly. She took the initiative. Really? She took advantage of you? I can’t let this go. I need to help you clear your name. Let’s go.
I’m not coming. Why not? I don’t need that. Don’t you want to clear your name? Zheng Sunian. For me, you’re always a macho man. Why are you acting like a coward now? You are the coward. Then, why are you afraid to come with me? I’m not afraid. Let’s go. Let’s go.
I’m not coming. You have to come. I’m not coming. Let’s go. Let’s go. We went the wrong way. We went the wrong way. This way. We’ve arrived. We’ve arrived. Shao Xue. Shao Xue. Shao Xue, get out here. Stop yelling. She’s asleep. She’s not. Shao Xue, get out here. I just found out
That you took advantage of my brother. You need to clear his name. Shout it out. Tell her to clear your name. That’s not going to be helpful. Those who will leave will leave. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have egged you on. I shouldn’t have let the truth slip. It’s not your fault.
It’s mine. I let her go. Why did you let her go? Go get her back. Get her back. If I see her, I’ll definitely get her back. Then, you should go get her back. I wouldn’t have broken up with her if I was planning to do that.
All I want is for her to leave me. Zheng Sunian. I never knew you could get so vulgar. It’s not an issue to make her stay. It’s easy to keep her in my arms. But she has dreams and I don’t want to hold her back. She wants to see the world
And listen to new voices. I have to stay here and wait for her return. Until the day she’s seen enough, heard enough, had enough fun, and decided to come home herself. Sunian, I feel so sorry for you. Xue is too mean. I feel so sorry for you.
It’s the middle of the night. What’s with all this fuss? Look at how drunk you both are. What did she say? -Go home now. -Xue. -Xue. -Xue? Xue. I’m Ms. Li. You’re not a human. Xue. Go home now. Quit fooling around. Go home. Be careful. Grab his arm. Where are we going?
Look at these kids. I don’t want to sleep with you. Ms. Yu. -Where’s Xue? -Shiyin. She’s not up yet. Sure. I’ll go get her up. Xue, wake up. Shiyin. I haven’t recovered from jet lag yet. Get up and pack your things. Dress up. We’re going to meet someone. Who’s that?
An exceptionally good man. Why should I meet him? Just to make friends. Perhaps, you’ll click, then you can date him. What? That’s great. Where is he from? What is he like? Ms. Yu, he’s from Beijing and is one year older than Xue. He’s great. There’s nothing to worry about. I won’t hurt Xue.
Xue. Hurry up and get dressed. Go and meet that guy. Mom, quit fooling around. I’m not fooling around. Hurry up and finish your milk. I’ll go make you a sandwich. You should get going after you finish your breakfast. What are you trying to do? I’m trying to help you.
How is this helping me? Yes. Zheng Sunian is going on a blind date today. Have you heard about that yet? How did you find out about this? That’s not the point. The point is I made a reservation at the same place and at the same time.
You’re going to have blind dates simultaneously. I’m not coming. Xue. He’s going. And if you aren’t, we’ll be at a disadvantage. Don’t you want to see what the woman looks like? If they end up interested in each other, you’ll at least be the first one to find out
Who snatches Sunian away from you. Zhang Qi, where are you? I’m stuck on the 2nd Ring Road. You should go on without me. Hurry up. Let’s find a place to sit. Mr. Zheng, have some tea. Ms. Shao, do you want any drinks? A cup of coffee. Do you like drinking coffee
Because you have been abroad for a long time? Addressing you as Ms. Shao seems to be a little too formal. Can I call you Xue? It’s better you call me Shao. Waiter, please get us two cups of coffee. Can your colleague handle this? Fret not. He works as a host.
He’s seen all kinds of situations. I heard you joined the Restoration Department right after you graduated. Yes. I came across your paintings before. They were great. If it’s convenient for you, can you paint me one too? Shao, there’s no need to be nervous. It’s my first time on a blind date too.
I heard that you were still a student when you were accepted by Huanyu Investment. What a promising young woman. What a coincidence. I’m going to study abroad too. Can I go and visit you? Sure. Your English is pretty good. I’m sure it was easy for you to adapt to the lifestyle abroad, right?
Yes, it was easy, but it’s even easier to get over a breakup. Actually, I’ve always wanted to learn how to paint, but I also think it’s a complex skill. However complex painting might be, it’s not as complex as human minds. Is it that easy to get over a breakup? It seems
You’ve dumped quite a few men. That’s not true. I was the one who got dumped. You’re a great girl. How could anyone dump you? I had no idea what was on his mind. I went for an interview, and he started making a fuss out of nowhere. She had already found a job overseas,
And she still tried to hide it from me. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I had to seize it nonetheless. I had already decided not to go abroad. It was easy for him, though. He ended the relationship without much ado. Mr. Zheng, why are you so quiet? I think I’ve accidentally touched your wound.
I’m sorry. Let’s talk about something else. Let’s not talk about the jerk anymore. He’s not exactly a jerk. Yes, he is. I’ve seen a lot of men like him. I’m sure he was seeing another woman behind your back. That’s why he initiated the breakup immediately when he had the chance. That’s probably it.
I’m sure he has long erased me from his life, and is attending a blind date now. Look who’s talking. What did I do? You stayed abroad for the past two years, and are attending a blind date once you get home. Do you think I have to come home for a blind date?
There are many good men overseas. Then, why did you come back? Yes. Why did I bother to do that? Shao, calm down. Mr. Zhao, I’ve got something else to do. See you around. Shao. Mr. Zheng, what’s going on? Sorry, Ms. Bai. Sorry. You… I don’t know what to do with these two anymore.
Me either. They are obviously in love with each other, but none of them wants to talk to each other. Why are they torturing themselves? Let’s go. No point staying here anymore. I’ll get going. Wait a minute. What? I’m not going on a blind date with you. Go to hell.
I’m about to ask you what’s going on with your contract girlfriend? As long as I’m single, there will be a big group of people worrying about me. I happen to know a female Ph.D. holder who’s doing an experiment about the psychology of love. She was looking for a boyfriend, and I volunteered.
Are you crazy? Why did you agree to be a test subject? What’s wrong with that? We meet up twice a week. We’re always updated with each other’s lives. That’s way healthier than whatever relationships the rest of you are going through. You’re doing this
So that you can approach Xue whenever you want. Right? What kind of person do you think I am? Have you never thought of confessing your feelings? Of course, I have, but I’m afraid. What are you afraid of? I’m afraid that I’ll get stuck on this question. What do you mean? I like maths
Because there’s an answer to every question. However, I don’t think I can solve a difficult question like Xue. That’s so moving. ♪Still♪ ♪Still the youngster from the past♪ ♪As pure as before♪ ♪While talking and laughing♪ Sunian. Sunian. ♪Slowly emerges from the sea♪ [Sunian is here]
♪It turns out that the person who didn’t go far is at hand♪ ♪Once you hesitated to bid farewell♪ ♪Staggering to take adventures♪ ♪In different dreams♪ ♪Walking step by step♪ ♪Like a gust of wind♪ Xue, where are you now? Mom. I’m on a grassland. There are a lot of bugs and mosquitoes.
Make sure you wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Don’t get stung. ♪Like a gust of wind♪ Xue, where are you now? Why does it sound so windy? I’m climbing a snow mountain. Enough with climbing the snow mountain. We should visit Fragrant Hill together. How are you doing? I live alone now.
Do pay me a visit when you’re back. Thanks. You leave for the North Pole when I’m back in Beijing. You’ve visited all corners of the world. When are you coming home? Soon. Happy new year. Let me show you what the North Pole looks like. Sure. ♪Like a gust of wind♪ ♪Like a breeze♪
♪Smiles that were left behind♪ I saw the photos. You’re in a desert. Is it warm there? Make sure to wear your sunscreen. ♪La la la la la la la la♪ ♪Towards the future with courage♪ [For Sunian who’s the best in the world, Shao Xue] This is what you should be. Hey, Mom.
Look at you. How can you not inform me after you’ve landed? I was in a hurry to go back to the office for the job handover. Take good care of yourself. Make sure you eat and drink enough. Don’t stay up late. Sure, mom. Don’t worry about me. I’ve got to go. Bye.
Thanks, Senior. There’s no need for thanks. You did me a great favor. It’s just part of my job. Xue. Our company is expanding. Including you and me, there were only five translators in our company. Now, we have more than 20 translators. We are always getting new projects.
You’ve certainly done me a great favor. I wonder if you would like to join me as the company’s partner. A partner? That’s right. Nothing will change regarding your job scope. You will be doing what you’ve always done, but instead of an employee, you’re now the employer. You’ll be in charge of the projects.
You’ll do the follow-up and sign the papers. Of course, you’ll have to help me in overlooking other projects and sharing my burden. I’m still a newbie. I don’t think I’m a good fit. Trust me. You are. That’s how I can tie you up with the company.
Then, I won’t have to worry about you leaving. Senior, I’m quite taken aback by this offer. I need time to think it through. Sure, but this is a very rare opportunity. Don’t keep me waiting. The Chinese New Year is around the corner. Do you want to take a few days off
To spend the new year at home? It’s fine. I will think about it after I finish my work. You’re such a workaholic. Take good care of yourself. -(Come.) -(Here.) -Happy new year! -Happy new year! It’s not bad, right? Yes, it’s good. Eat up. I missed a dish.
Let me go get the rice cake. Let me do it, Ms. Yu. You’ve worked all day. What a good boy. Exactly. Zheng, I’m so envious of you. Your kid stays with you all the time. How nice. Exactly. Look at Zhang Qi. I feel like an abandoned elderly. What are you talking about?
We can take you in. Drink up. -Here. -Here. Drink. This way. Have a seat. Xue. It’s the new year. Is that really all you’re having? I’ve gained some weight, so I’m trying to lose it. You look so pale. You shouldn’t be losing more weight. It’s a must to have dumplings during the new year. Here. We thought that since you live alone,
We should pay you a visit. Go get her chopsticks and vinegar. Sure. Let me go get you… -some vinegar. -It’s made of pork and cabbage. I just made it. It’s still warm. Let me know if there’s any food you crave in the future. I’ll make it for you. -Here. -I’ve brought vinegar.
Try it. She made it herself. It’s still warm. Why are you not eating? Eat up. How does it taste? It tastes great. That’s nice. Eat more. You don’t have to walk us out. You should go back now lest you catch a cold. I’m fine. The dumplings have kept me really warm.
All right. Take a good rest. You should probably watch the Spring Festival Gala. We’ll get going. Senior, if the offer still stands, I would like to be your partner. I knew you’d come around. Let’s talk about the procedure when we go back to the office in two days. We’ve got to go.
-We’ll get going. -Take care. Bye. From now on, we are officially business partners. I look forward to working with you. Me too. Where’s your boss? I’ve no idea. You’re finally back. What’s going on? While you were on your business trip, Mo Hai ran away with his family. They embezzled funds from the investors
And misappropriated them for personal purposes. Knowing that they couldn’t recover the money, they deceived many employees by offering them franchise opportunities. I hope you aren’t one of the victims. -For example… -I’ve no idea. The police are waiting for you. Are you Shao Xue? Shao Xue. We’ve found your name on many illegal documents.
Please come with us. [From Mo Hai. I’m sorry.] You are… I’m Lin, a public lawyer. I’m in charge of your case. My case? What happened? You are suspected of financial fraud and are now under the police’s investigation. What should I do now? I’ve no idea what they did.
The fraud Mo Hai committed involved a huge sum of money. They couldn’t retrieve some of the money. Since you’re his business partner, so… Where is Mo Hai? Have you found him yet? We haven’t. I need to go find him. Ms. Shao. You need to take a good rest. According to the doctor,
There’s something wrong with your uterus. You have to undergo surgery as soon as possible. Because of the case you are involved in, it might be impossible to renew your work visa anymore. I’m afraid your medical insurance won’t be able to cover this treatment. On top of that,
Your bank account has been temporarily frozen by the police. Ms. Shao, you have to inform me about all the details regarding the documents you’ve signed. [May all your wishes come true. I wish you well. Zheng Sunian] ♪The wind whispers♪ ♪Reminding me of the starry sky♪ ♪Would you do the same?♪

Why do you sound so weak? Mom. They are waiting for me. I’ve got to go. Bye. ♪I’ll stay here willingly♪ ♪I wish to silently protect♪ ♪Every detail and everything we desired♪ ♪If we reverse time and space♪ ♪Would you appear by my side?♪ Hello. I called you this morning.
A doctor picked up the call and told me that you had to undergo surgery. What’s going on? ♪Floating in space♪ I’m fine. I’m home now. Don’t worry about me. Why are you not in the hospital? I’m going to book a flight now. I’ll be right there.

They have arrested Mo Hai. They’re done with the investigation and concluded that it has nothing to do with you. About your sickness, what are you planning to do with it? If you continue being so quiet, I’ll admit you to the hospital. Zhang Qi. I want to go back.
Go back? I want to go home. Sunian. This is great. After I retire, I have to visit the British Museum to take a good look at their collections. If that’s what you want, you can go there on Labor Day next year. I can’t go there just yet. I haven’t saved enough
For your wedding yet. I’ve had everything planned out. I’ll only do things after you get married. Dad. I want you to make friends with the neighbors. I didn’t expect you to get influenced by them. Influenced? My son doesn’t even have a girlfriend. I’m too embarrassed to make friends with them. Look.
Look at the small black fish. Can you see it? What’s wrong with it? Back then, this little black fish was all alone. It always stayed in this corner motionlessly. It didn’t make friends with any other fish. Later, I noticed that it had become good friends with this spotted fish. Since
They’ve become a couple, they are now full of energy. Coming. I always get disturbed at the wrong time. Xue, time to wake up. I just underwent surgery. I need time to recuperate. That’s enough. It’s been over a month. The doctor said you were as fit as a fiddle. You’re too cruel. Me? Cruel? I’ve even gotten the breakfast ready for you.
You’re too nice. Xue, after you have your breakfast, why not go home? It’s been over a month. Your parents must be worried about you. Going home in this state will only make my mom more worried. I need to first find a good job. Then, I can reassure my mom when I get home.
I’ll get you a job. Wash up. Really? Of course. I’ve got a surprise for you today. Sure. Go. Hurry up. Hey. I’ve gotten everything ready. How about you? I’ll get to work right away. Are these all from Zhang Qi? Yes. They are health supplements. He’s now acting like a personal shopper. Shao.
Shao, come take a look at this. Look at what this kid sent us. Look. Shao. I have something to share with you. Zheng. I have something to share with you. This is great. Look at this. I’ve spent half a day admiring this. Not only is Zhang Qi a bright kid,
But he also cares for the elders. Why have I not realized it sooner when he was a kid? You all grew up together. Comparing Zhang Qi to our Xue. The only thing she does is give us a call during festive seasons. We don’t even get to see her in person.
She’s an adult now. It’s time to let go. I can let go if she’s going to get married. She’s an adult now. Zheng. Every time I ask if she has a boyfriend, she keeps quiet. When I tell her to go on a blind date, she refuses it vehemently.
She really is ruffling my feathers. Look at Sunian. He’s only two years older than Xue, and he’s also not in a hurry. Just now… Dad. You can’t compare a boy to a girl. Look at those folks from the Restoration Department. Look at Li and Yang. They are grandparents now. That’s right.
Look at us. I don’t even know if I can get a son-in-law. Let’s not talk about this anymore. What about Sunian? Is he seeing anyone? Sunian, do you have a girlfriend? There’s another box by the door. It’s meant for Mr. Sun. Have fun chatting. I’ll deliver that to him. Sunian. These kids…
Whenever I pose a personal question, they find an excuse to leave. Let’s not talk about him anymore. At least, you get to see him every day. Xue… Let me give her a call. What if she’s busy right now? How can you call her out of the blue? She’ll call you when she’s free.
Don’t worry. Look at the craftsmanship. You simply want me to stop disturbing you. How does it taste? It tastes great. Shiyin, you’re so nice to me. Why not be my boyfriend? No. Sunian will kill me if I become your boyfriend. Xue. Have you not spoken to Sunian yet since you got back? Now
That you’ve decided to stay, why not consider getting back together with Sunian? You were abroad for a long time, and Sunian has been waiting for you. Why is he waiting for me? Isn’t that obvious? He’s in love with you. If he loves me, he wouldn’t have broken up with me.
You can’t blame Sunian for that. It’s my fault, then. None of you are to blame. The only person at fault is Zhang Qi. What does it have to do with Zhang Qi? When you had a fight with Sunian, Zhang Qi wanted to give Sunian some advice. However, he accidentally let slip
The reason you gave up the chance to study abroad when you were in high school. Sunian didn’t want you to turn down another good opportunity because of him. That’s why he decided to break up with you. He was sad too. He only attended those blind dates
Because he didn’t want to upset his dad. ♪As I traverse this path without minding it♪ ♪My memory does all the hard work for me♪ ♪All the memories♪ ♪Are embedded deep within my heart♪ ♪The past I’ve been hiding from year after year♪ ♪Carved into the days long gone♪ ♪Although simplicity is plain♪
