♪There’s no need to wander anymore♪ [Memory of Encaustic Tile] [Adapted from Beifeng Sanbaili’s original novel “Memory of Encaustic Tile”] [Episode 10] [An Apology can Lead to a Spark of Romance] Shiyin. [Detective Conan] Sunian. Zhang Qi. Shadow Clone Technique! Are you really not going to consider joining my stage play? I’ve told you.
I’m not in. I have to go dancing. I might drag the progression as I don’t have much time. Perhaps I can help with the props? Please help me. I just want to be a director for once. Can’t you help me? So it doesn’t work when I ask you politely
Or when I act cute, huh? Okay. In that case, are you forcing me to use… No way. My birthday privilege? No, please. My birthday falls on the day of the school’s anniversary. You’ve promised me that you’ll fulfill any of my birthday wishes. I want you to help me deliver a marvelous stage play.
Well. Three gentlemen here, which of you are going to be my male lead? I can’t even fit in the costume. It must be Sunian. But I don’t wish to. Anyway, Sunian is in the Prince Ranking. What? Prince Ranking. The ranking for school hunks. You’re not in. Sunian has been in the top ten.
What nonsense is this? It did exist though. There’s a Princess Ranking as well. Lin Shiyin. Top one of this month. This is not credible at all. Who’ll be the female lead? Is it her? Unfortunately, I’m too popular. I’m preoccupied. Not her. It’s Tang Ya. Who is it? My new deskmate.
She’s a bit nervous. But it’s fine. I’ll handle it. I’ve got other plans so I’ll leave now. I’ll walk you there. No need. Just leave her alone. Well. Let’s designate the characters now. You play as the protagonist. You’ll be the antagonist. Then… I want to play as a good person.
You don’t fit it. You’ll be outstanding if you play it well. Any example? For example, Granny Rong in My Fair Princess. You know it. She’s so popular. Her performance was impeccable. Alright now. Let’s discuss the screenplay. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess. She was seriously ill. There were two warriors
Who admired the princess which are you and you. Mr. Luo. You’re here. There’s a color that we can’t restore. Could you please take a look? Sure. I’ll do it now. Well. I have something on and I can’t go now. Can you help him, Jin Ning? Me?
You don’t want to do me the favor? That’s not what I meant. Perhaps you can do your work first. There’s no rush. It’s fine to do it later. Wait. Are you really asking for our help or are you joking around with us? That’s right. Hurry up. The savior is finally here. Madam Jin.
Please take a look at it. We simply couldn’t get this color right. Let me try it. It’s about the shine. Can you get the color by just mixing them? That’s about right, isn’t it? I guess so. Let me compare the colors. Yes. It works. The ratio wasn’t right.
But you can get the color eventually. It’s all about trial and error. You’re indeed a professional. You should have asked Tianbao instead. The Lacquerware Division is better at this. They are busy finishing a project. They’re slammed. Well. We’ll try it based on the ratio you showed us. Thank you so much. It’s fine.
I’ll take my leave if there’s nothing else. Hold on. Zheng. Walk Madam Jin back. Please don’t. Thank you. Walk her back. It’s so near. I’ll watch her go back. Okay. I’ve watched her going back in. How did you manage to woo her back then? Mind your own business. Come on, look at this. Wu Huan. I knew you were the reliable one. [Activity Room] You’re much more helpful. They’ll come
Shortly as well. Have you confirmed the time for your part-time job yet? Yes. I can make it. That’s great. I have prepared a character that suits you very well. Really? Yes. ♪What a beautiful jasmine♪ It sounds familiar. ♪Buds and blooms are here and there♪ ♪Pure and fragrant all do declare♪
♪Let me gather some with tender care♪ Tang Ya. You sing so well. [With melodious music] Do you guys really think it’s nice? It’s not about what I think. It’s a fact. Am I right, Wu Huan? It’s nice. I’ve decided to let you be the female lead. I’ll add a solo for you.
Please don’t. I can’t sing in front of people. It’s embarrassing. We’ll be by your side. [Qiming High School] But I don’t think I can do it. Although it’s something I long for, I do feel quite intimidated. If there’s something that you wish to do, you should go for it. Not everyone
Has this opportunity. Then, I’ll try. Great. Since you sang Jasmine Flower so well, you’ll be Princess Jasmine. Can you sing for us again? Sure. [Dancing Classroom, Qiming High School] Five, six, seven, eight. Three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
[Dance in youth’s rhythm, let brilliance bloom] Four, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. -Stop. -Five. Stop! What is wrong with you? Did you listen to the music? Yes. Then, can’t you feel it? Can’t you feel the misery of deaths and the despair as the end of the world is coming?
Did you feel them? Then how could you dance so badly? I saw no despair in you. I could even see that you were happy. I’ve tried my best, sir. Sorry. I’m too strict. I think it’s because of your temperament. You don’t fit this dance. I want to change the lead dancer. Mr. Nai.
We’re running out of time. It is the art that I’m trying to create here, not a laughingstock. I’ll take the responsibility, okay? Change her position. What is your name? Lin Shiyin. Do you like martial heroes? I do. Come forward. Repeat her moves. It’s too exaggerated. But it’s better than hers.
You’ll be the lead dancer. Come on, let’s continue. Let’s continue in a circle. Come on. Five, six, seven, eight, three, two. Ms. Yu. I won’t ask for more. Just make me look dashing. You don’t need my help with that. You are quite handsome already. Mom. Why did you lie through your teeth?
Why do you always stop her from saying the truth? Next in line. Ms. Yu. It’ll be a waste to make a costume for me. Maybe you can just leave mine out. The costumes must be in full sets. Mom. You’re so cooperative this time. Is it because you’ve realized my talent? Dream on.
When I was young, I participated in a play too. However, I couldn’t make it as something cropped up. Take it seriously. Help me fulfill my dream. You can count on me, Mom. Ms. Yu. I have to work now. Sure. See you, Ms. Yu. Bye-bye. Remember to practice. Come, Sunian. Look at Sunian.
He has such a good build. Likes a model’s figure. You’re indeed my great male lead. Ms. Yu. Don’t I have a good build as well? Brat. I’m just saying that every one of you has your own strengths. Why did you have to embarrass yourself? Mind your own business. Mom.
It’s the body measurement of the female lead. Sure. I’ll handle the costumes. It’s done. Sunian. Where’s your mother? She went to Restoration Department. Why did she go there on the weekend? They haven’t reconciled? Where’s your dad? He went there too. Oh my, this couple. Sunian. Did your parents have a squabble?
Why don’t we join them? What for? To give a helping hand to Mr. Zheng. Don’t make it worse. I won’t. Let’s go. See you, Mom. I’ll get going now, Ms. Yu. Goodbye, Ms. Yu. Bye, Mom. Bye-bye. [Shi Zu Store] How may I help you? Wu Huan. Tang Ya. What a coincidence.
Are you working here? I’m here every weekend. What do you want? I’ll get it for you. No need. Continue with your work. I’ll have a browse myself. Sure. [Mala Instant Noodle] Wu Huan. Is the shop still hiring? I want a part-time job too. How’s your rehearsal going? Sunian. Show me how you growl
Because of anger. That was perfunctory. You give it a go. I want you to growl not bark. You two didn’t practice at all. Mr. Luo. I always bump into you every time I come here. Come on. I’ve been working here for forty years. Isn’t it the weekend? I have nothing to do
Staying at home alone. It’s better to come here to work. What brings you here? I want to ask Ms. Jin Ning to draw something for me. She’s inside. Off you go. She’s not in a good mood. Does it taste good? Have some more. Is Ms. Jin Ning still upset?
There’s tension in the air. It makes me feel like I’m home now. Xue. Ms. Jin Ning. Ms. Jin Ning. What brings you here? Ms. Jin Ning. Mr. Zheng. Come in and have a seat. Come on. Sunian. It’s for you. Thank you. The manager said we are still hiring. But he’s busy now.
He’ll talk to you later. I think he’ll agree. Thank you so much. No big deal. By the way, why do you need a part-time job? I… just want to earn money and buy something I want. Ms. Yu is making new costumes for us. She’s an expert at it. The costumes will be awesome.
Mhm. I’m kind of looking forward to your singing on stage. Hopefully, I won’t screw up the show. To the success of our performance. Cheers. To the success of our performance. We have Ms. Yu making the costumes and Ms. Jin Ning drawing the props. Your play might be mediocre,
But the preparation is quite something. Well, we need to do our best regardless of the result. Are you admitting defeat before the show starts? Do you want to get kicked out of the show? I’m just worried that it will be too much trouble for Ms. Jin Ning. I have no choice though.
Since I have received the cake as the payment, I should do my job well. Who bought this cake? This person knows my taste well. I guess it’s Xue, right? No way. She can do nothing apart from eating. Not me. It’s Sunian. -He specially… -Let’s go play with the cat.
My mom prefers a quiet environment. I don’t. I’m different from you and your dad. Well. Go out and play. I’ll call you when it’s done. Thank you so much, Ms. Jin Ning. You’re most welcome. Let’s go. Sure. Mom. Don’t eat too much sweet food. Okay. Mr. Luo. What are you doing?
Something’s wrong with the watering can. The water doesn’t come out. Let me take a look at it. You can’t handle it. Zhang Qi. What’s wrong? Fix this. He can’t do it either. I’ll give it a try. Why did you guys come here this Sunday instead of hanging out elsewhere? We
Are going to prepare for a stage play. So, we are here to ask for some help from Ms. Jin Ning. What is it about? For now, I only have the framework for the screenplay. Anyway, it’s a costume play. I want to add some fantasy elements to the concept of martial heroes
And comedy elements to the fantasy concept. I can’t understand at all. How’s it going? Not only you, Mr. Luo. We don’t get it either. All fixed. I wanted to make it clear. However, everyone voices their opinions. And I’m confused about how I am going to fix it. Someone said it lacks depth.
While the other one said it’s not passionate enough. And when I’m done amending the script, Ms. Jin Ning said it isn’t romantic enough. She…she… she’s right. I reckon a stage play must be romantic. Mr. Luo. But I have no idea what romance is about? Maybe you can tell us a romantic story?
We can learn from it. I don’t know how to tell stories. Did you forget that you used to tell me stories while carrying me when I was young? When did I do that? You did. I’ve heard it before. Me too. Well. Then I’ll tell you one today, alright? Sunian, give me a stool.
Got it. The story I’m telling happened at this place. Promise me first. The characters in this story might be real or fictional. Don’t let your imagination run wild. Okay? Mhm. Got it. This story happened a long time ago. Back then, at this place, there were two people. Don’t just eat whatever you see. Go now. You are eating random stuff again. I’ve told you so many times. Be careful with what you eat. You… Why did you drive it away? It’s just eating something as it’s hungry. You’re so heartless. So indifferent. Sorry. Madam Jin. You’ve misunderstood Mr. Zheng.
Recently, there have been a lot of rats here. It’s rodenticide there, he’s afraid that the kitty might get poisoned. Kitty. You’re injured. Let me help you treat the wounds. Stay still. Hey. Sir from Watchmaker Division. Could you please help me? It’s injured. Could you hold its paws?
I’m going to apply some medicine to it. But it’s a wild cat. It likes to scratch on people. But it’ll get infected if we don’t treat the wounds now. Thank you. Well. I… Turn it over. Sure, no problem. Thank you. Kitty. Turn over. It might be hurt a little. Bear with me. Yes.
Like this? This… It’s fine. You’re hurt. It’s fine. It’s my fault. Sorry. Let me bring you to the hospital for a jab. This kitty has scratched us before. I’m fine. No way. It’s my fault. I should take responsibility. No need. I… I mean it. -No need. -Let’s go.
Honestly, I can go home myself. I’m fine. No way. I must send you home. Just sit quietly. Since then, these two people have become acquainted. Mr. Luo. Is it… I’ve told you not to make random guesses. I see no romance though. Let him continue. Once they became acquainted… Mr. Zheng. Yes? You…
You’re here. Thank you for helping me with the cat. You’re welcome. How’s your hand? Has it recovered? It’s fine. Are you off work now? What can I do for you? My music box is broken. Could you please help me? Sure, no problem. This… This isn’t something I come across daily.
It’s not a local product, right? It’s from overseas. Actually, I saw you dancing along with the music the other day. Over… Over there. I saw you looking at me. I heard that you were abroad previously. Yes. I studied at an overseas university. Next year, I’m going to work at an overseas museum.
It’s not easy to repair, is it? No, it’s easy. It’s done. It’s done? Mr. Zheng. You’re amazing. Thank you. Jin Ning. You… Do you have to leave? No, I’m not leaving. Later, let’s have lunch together. Let me put this back first. Please wait for me. Is it confirmed? You’re leaving so soon? Yes.
The job at the overseas museum has already been arranged. I wonder when I will see you again after you leave. I will miss you all as well. When will you be back? Look at you. She’s leaving soon. You don’t even ask her to stay. Stupid. Zhang Jin. Tomorrow, I’ll leave the Restoration Department. I thought about it for a long time yet I couldn’t decide what I should give you as a gift.
I’ll give you this music box as a souvenir. Thank you, Jin Ning. Can you come and see me off tomorrow? Tomorrow… I can’t see you off tomorrow. My master asked me to finish the work. I wish you a smooth and safe trip. Zheng, can I borrow your pliers? Zheng. Zheng.
Can I borrow your pliers? Stop drinking. [Stir Fry Egg Whites, Quick-fried Tripe] You work so hard during the day and drink so much during the night. Do you care about your health at all? Come. I drink with you. Why haven’t you had your meal yet? Mr. Luo. I haven’t finished my work.
I’ll eat later. I have a drawing that I just hung on the wall. Could you help me keep an eye on it? I’m going to eat now. No, Mr. Luo. Can I do it? If the paint is dried, I have no idea how to whisk water on it.
You don’t have to do that. Just keep an eye on it for me. I couldn’t find anyone else to do it. My master doesn’t allow us… Just tell me. Can you do it or not? I can. Listen, this is the drawing. Sit on my chair and guard it well. No, Mr. Luo.
I’ll just stand here. Just sit down. Wait. I’m worried… Nothing to worry about. Nothing to worry about. Don’t leave until I’m back. [Yours sincerely, Jin Ning] (I’m truly curious) Hey, the meals in the canteen today are pretty good. I got you some as well. I’m talking to you. Mr. Luo. Do you know the overseas address of Jin Ning’s workplace? I want to see her. I’ve been waiting for this for a year. [Jing Ning’s address] Alright then. That’s the end
Of my story. But I think that’s just half of the story. While the other one let it happen? Did they finally become a couple after the guy went to look for the lady? This kid is too good at maths and lacks imagination. Am I right? Why are you here? [Calligraphy Division] Isn’t the story about us? Who told you that? Cheeky. Back then,
When I brought you back, I’ve promised to treat you well forever. Did I make it? You did. You did better than what you’ve promised. I’m sorry. Why are you in such a rush? You haven’t had the porridge. I want to rehearse with Zhang Qi. I’m worried that he runs away. Sunian. Hurry up, we’re leaving. Sunian! It’s not ladylike at all when you act like that. Hurry up! Sunian. Take the eggs.
I wonder from whom did she inherit that attitude. It’s alright that you didn’t take them in the past. But I cooked them today. Your cooking skills are worse than my dad’s. They might not even be cooked. Faster, Sunian. See you, Ms. Jin Ning. -Careful. -No need to rush. Bye-bye. This boy is such a fussy eater. But he’s so tall
Despite being a fussy eater. He has better food. Xue can’t grow any taller. What’s that supposed to mean? She’s right. In my eyes, Xue is just perfect. In Zheng’s eyes, you’re perfect as well. Oh, come on. We’re talking about the children. I’ve cleaned the bike. Let’s go. I’ll raise the rear part.
Be careful. We’re leaving. Look at them. Look at this couple. We’re a pretty nice couple as well. -Go away. -Okay. Whoever leaves last has to lock the door. Mom. I’ve got to go. Hold on. Give it to Xue. What is this? I made her this prop.
She’s been working hard on the stage play lately. We should support her. Don’t they look pretty? It’s not like Xue’s going to act in the play. [Teachers’ Office] Tang Ya, listen to me. Please don’t be nervous. I’m most confident that the screenplay, the male lead, and all the costumes and props
Can win over all the judges. Good morning, Shiyin. My mom asked me to give you this. Look. We have this as well. They look gorgeous. [Qiming High School] This will suit you well. Shiyin. Please convey my gratitude to your mom. This is nice. This one’s still better. Stop playing.
We’ll be on the stage next. Have you remembered the lines? Rest assured. Where’s our female lead? Tang Ya. Tang… Why are you here? I’m so nervous, Xue. I’m scared. I… Relax. They’ll be accompanying you. Come on. Introduce yourselves. We nearly became classmates before, but I’m too smart.
I was chosen to join the competition class in advance. Get to the point. I’m Zhang Qi. I play as Aotian. Nice to meet you. I’m Zheng Sunian. I play as Liang Chen. Hello. I’m Tang Ya. I play as Princess Jasmine. Who’s the male lead? -It’s me. -It’s me. Shao Xue. It’s your turn.
Although we haven’t had a proper rehearsal, I believe that our show will amaze everyone in the hall. Do you have the confidence? -Yes! -Yes! Let’s go. One more time. Again. Again. Again. One more time. Again. Again. Again. Again. Stand up. Again. Mr. Nai, I’m exhausted. How dare you feel tired
When your dance is awful? I can’t dance well as I’m too tired. I think there are some problems with your teaching. Is it my problem or yours? Everyone is waiting for you. Are you aware of that? Do you want to keep dancing or let everyone’s effort go to waste? Say something. I’ll dance.
Good. Come on. Continue. You can do it, Shiyin. Go. [Mr. Chen, Ms. Miao, Ms. Zhao] It’s Shao Xue’s show. Is this the name of the play? I’m Shao Xue. I couldn’t come up with a proper name for the play. But now I’ve got one. The name is “Princess Jasmine”. Please start your show.
