♪There’s no need to wander anymore♪ [Memory of Encaustic Tile] [Adapted from Beifeng Sanbaili’s original novel “Memory of Encaustic Tile”] [Episode 9] [The Price of Pursuing Beauty] Makeup is necessary. Most foreign girls wear makeup. But besides you, no one else around me wears makeup. Tang Ya, do you wear makeup? I…
It’s not allowed in school. You’re going to host the foreign guests. Wearing makeup is etiquette. I should put on some makeup then. I have to leave a good impression on them for our school. Right? Do you have cosmetics? I can do the makeup for you. I do. Dabao SOD lotion. Come on.
That’s what my dad uses, okay? I’m talking about foundation. Eye shadow? Blush and lipstick? Are you a girl? Well, my mom doesn’t have any either. Would you lend me yours? No problem. Come to my home after school. I’ll test the makeup on you. But your mom is at home.
Let’s go to Zhang Qi’s home then. Ms. Zhang Ling may not be at home. Okay. Shiyin, I brought you some chocolate. I’m on a diet. This must be delicious. This is a new product. Try it. I don’t eat chocolate. Xue, have another piece. Tang Ya, have some too. You didn’t come home
After you got off work Where did you go? Why didn’t you cook? I went to buy some pears for her. She’ll be interpreting tomorrow and talking the entire day. I’ll brew some pear soup for her to ease her throat. Look at you. You keep nagging her every day. But in your heart,
You always think about her. Well, how would she think you’re a great dad if I didn’t play the devil? Has she come home? Yes. But she finds you annoying. She went to study English at Zhang Qi’s. She finds me annoying? What’s the matter with this kid? Exactly. I’ll lecture her. Okay. Go.
This kid… It’s good that you didn’t peel the scallion. Otherwise, you’ll make it bald. I can do this myself. You only have this one lipstick? My mom has locked up my cosmetics. Well, let’s use this lipstick only. No way. You must apply full makeup. Shall I borrow some from Ms. Jin Ning?
No way. What if she tells my mom? It will be exposed then. No way. I always go to play my role at a critical moment. Wait for me. Come on, Xue. Let’s try it on you. Okay. Do your makeup. What is this? So many? As expected of Ms. Zhang Ling.
These are premium cosmetics. Are these expensive? Let me tell you. Any of these is as expensive as a PS2. That expensive? I’d have sold them secretly if I had known earlier. My mom doesn’t use them anyway. Ms. Zhang Ling doesn’t wear makeup? She? She doesn’t even wash her face when she’s busy.
Where does she find the time to apply makeup? What a pity. If anyone gave me these, I’d order the TV show “The Little Li Flying Dagger” dedicated to the person for one year. Look at you. You already have enough cosmetics. You still want more? Come on, Xue. Please stay away.
This is my home. Where can I go? You… Buy us some snacks. I don’t feel comfortable with you here. Eat this on your way. I don’t like this. There are so many snacks here already! Not enough. Off you go. We won’t see you off. Don’t come back before we call you. Come on.
[Colorful Peanuts] 35 peanuts. 36 peanuts. 37 peanuts. 38 peanuts. 39 peanuts. 40 peanuts. 41 peanuts. 42 peanuts. 43 peanuts. 44 peanuts. [Haircut. Perm. Hair treatment] Why are you back so late? I was so bored. Why are you sitting here? I was kicked out. Why are you back so late? Compulsory extra class.
The grade 12 year is indeed a crazy year. Isn’t it the same for your competition class? Forget it. Those in the competition class are even crazier. They don’t go home after school but keep studying there. I regret transferring to that class. -I’m leaving. -Bye. Sunian, you’re home. How is it? Are you stunned
By my excellent makeup skills? Just ignore them. This is the makeup style for the camera. It’s different from the one for daily life. They can’t appreciate it. Well, I’ve completed my mission. I’m leaving. Bye. Do I look good? Yes. Sunian, do I look good? I can’t say it’s bad.
Then, why didn’t you say anything just now? I still prefer how you usually look. Lin Shiyin gave herself beautiful makeup but mine’s ugly. [Glossary Notebook] What is this? The topics that foreigners like. You can use them during an awkward situation. Sunian, you’re Doraemon. You have everything. What about this?
You pretend to be a foreigner. Then, I’ll introduce our school to you. Welcome to our school. Our school is so beautiful. Follow me. ♪Still the youngster from the past♪ [Liuli Restaurant] ♪As pure as before♪ ♪While talking and laughing♪ ♪Repay the world with kindness ♪ ♪The time that we lost♪
♪Slowly emerges from the sea♪ ♪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♪ Sunian, what do you think? ♪Waving doesn’t mean goodbye♪ I know you seldom praise others.
But it’s okay. If there is anything to be improved, you can just tell me. It’s fine. I can take it well. ♪Blowing gently♪ It’s great. Really? ♪Those troubles that we never told each other♪ I never lie to you. Let’s go. Xue. Why are you home so late? I just simulated tomorrow’s visit
With Zhang Qi. It took a bit more time. I’ve brewed some pear soup for you. It’s on the table. Drink it now. What are you doing? I’m dancing. Mom, you should go to bed now. Go to bed early after finishing it. Mom, good night. Good night.
What did Lin Shiyin do with the makeup? Why do I feel itchy? So itchy. -Xue. -Mr. Liu. Have a seat. The delegation is here. I’ll greet them. Why does your face look red? I… I applied some makeup to showcase the school’s image. Don’t do it again. Hi, Mr. Zhang. Shao Xue.
The delegation is here. Let’s go. Okay. Let’s go. Why does your face look redder than just now? It’s so itchy. I scratched it. That’s not right. It must be an allergic reaction. I’m fine. Let’s go, sir. No. Go to the hospital. I’ll take care of the delegation. Well… Stop babbling. Hurry up.
I can do it, sir. Just go. I can take care of this. You take care of yourself! [Dermatology] This side. See? It’s an allergy to some chemicals. It’s fine. But I can’t guarantee full recovery. Then… will I be disfigured? Disfigured? It’s too late to realize it. Scared now?
How many times have I told you not to misuse cosmetics? Did you listen? Stop crying. You must not cry. Tears can irritate the skin. Stop crying. Come on. Hold it back. Come on. Doctor, is there any way for my daughter to recover quickly? I’ll prescribe her some medications.
But she needs to work on it by herself. Don’t eat stimulating food. Have regular bed time. Reduce mood swings. And apply the ointment on time. Generally, it shouldn’t be a problem. Did you hear it? Careful with what you eat. Don’t eat anything you shouldn’t. By the way, don’t touch the allergic area
With your hands. Okay. Feeling smug? Wearing makeup? I’ll throw them away. Those are not cosmetics. Do it after the meal. She threw away my stuff. There’s not even a non-veg dish. Look. You can’t blame your mom. Fish induces heat. Meat induces phlegm. Vegetables keep you safe. In your current condition,
Having whole-veg meals is the safest. It’s easier said than done. You ate duck neck secretly. What do you have to say about that? I’m a man. How can I have vegetables only? Besides, at midnight, I secretly… No. How can you blame me for seeing me eat something at midnight?
Well, I had to rummage around for something to eat. Why can’t you have a meat-free meal? Let me tell you. Don’t tell your mom about it. If you do, [Yellow croaker] I won’t get any pocket money in my next life. You’re really something. Thank you. Eat it quickly. Have some rice.
I’ll finish the meat first. Hurry up. Don’t dawdle. I’m walking. -Hurry up. -Dongge. I brought this brat to apologize to you. Well, this spoiled brat took my expired cosmetics and gave them to Xue. I’m going to disown him. Hit or scold him? Do as you wish. Ms. Yu, I’m sorry. Zhang Qi!
What a spoiled brat. You’ve caused Xue to be disfigured. She… She’s disfigured? Yes. Go and take a look yourself. Go on. I don’t dare to. Xue. Xue. Is it so serious? Zhang Qi, give my face back to me! I didn’t know that cosmetics have expiry dates. You’ve caused me so much harm.
How dare you dodge! How do you want to vent out your anger? Hit me then. As long as it can please you. Not going to hit me? You tricked me? So what? This is rather serious. Do you wish that I was disfigured? -You scared me to death. -Let me have a look.
It does look a little red. But it’s better than I thought. What do you mean? It’s itchy and painful. I can’t touch it. I can’t even have meat. I’m warning you. Don’t irritate me these few days. Tell me. How should I make amends? Well, be my errand boy for a week.
What? You don’t want to? Okay. You call the shot. That’s more like it. Come on, massage me. Hurry up. Gentle. Apply more pressure. Luckily, your face is fine. If something were to happen to your face, what should you do? You’re already rather ugly. What are you saying? I’m saying
That even if something were to happen to your face, it wouldn’t be a big deal. From now on, your meals are on me. Do you really mean it? Of course. Great. Then, I want to eat at Quanjude, Bianyifang, Dadong, and Siji Minfu. All with specialties pf duck meat? Can you spare the ducks?
What? You don’t want to? I’m okay with it. Let’s go there one by one. Carry on. [Outpatient Clinic] Doctor, why did it become worse? The skin is dry and itchy. Look. There are even fine lines. I won’t have wrinkles, will I? Having wrinkles is a small case. But it’s a rather slow recovery.
Did you eat things that you shouldn’t? She didn’t. We didn’t allow her to do that. She must have eaten something secretly. What’s going on? Did you give her something behind my back? No. It’s… That day, she ate some fish. See? She can’t have seafood. Fine. You take care of her.
Doctor, we’ll keep her on the diet. -Mom! -Come on. Abide by my requirement, OK? Well, it’s late. Don’t cook. Let’s eat out. My treat. Eat? All you know is eating. The young one is ignorant. The old plays a fool too. It has been so many days.
She couldn’t go to school or meet anyone. Don’t you feel anxious? Don’t hit her so hard. Will she remember it then? Don’t scratch! When kids from other families get hurt, their moms are so worried about them. All you wanted was for me to remember it. Stop crying. Tears irritate the skin.
I won’t stop! It has been so many days. You didn’t say anything pleasant to the ear at all. You threw my stuff away. You forbade me to have meat. Can’t I cry now? Why are you yelling at me? Why are you yelling? Did I cause the allergy? Did I cause it?
You’re so fierce. I don’t want to see you again! Where are you going? Follow her. She’s hurt. She’ll be all right after crying. Then, come home with me now. Why? Help me prepare her favorite food. Geez. [Wenrentang Pharmacy] Sunian. [Sales Counter] Stop crying. Tears hurt the skin. It hurts.
Take off your mask. Let me have a look. It’s ugly. I’ve seen it all. Even your snivel look in childhood. But I still played with you, didn’t I? It’s a hot summer. Won’t the mask make it worse? Tell me. Why are you crying? What do you think? I failed in becoming an interpreter.
I was disfigured. And my mom kept scolding me. What is the main reason? The interpreter thing of course. I was looking forward to it. The entire hutong knew about it. I couldn’t do it at last. So shameful. There’s nothing to feel ashamed of. After a week, I guarantee that everyone won’t remember it.
Others might forget it, but not the teacher, I’m afraid. Then, I can kiss the opportunity to study abroad goodbye. Opportunity comes to those who are prepared. You didn’t manage to be the interpreter, but you’ve worked so hard for it. Your efforts won’t be in vain. You just need a chance to practice.
Moreover, if you want to practice speaking, my mom can help you. Then, what about my face? If my face didn’t recover, I’m afraid no one wants me anymore. How old are you now? Why are you so concerned about such a thing? You’re worried that you can’t get married? All right.
If that day comes, I’ll marry you. If you can’t get married, I’ll marry you. All right? I think it’s all right. Come on. Go home. Thank you, Boss. The tissue is on your credit. Hi, lad. What are you looking for? Do you need any help? These are cosmetics for girls.
Are you getting a gift? Yes. How old is she? A high school student. I know it then. What about this? It’s pink and tender. It suits teenage girls well. Okay. Thank you. What about a bottle of perfume? This is called the Taste of First Love. No, thanks. He’s shy. Mom,
You suddenly brought me to the mall. You didn’t bring Dad along. You’re not selling me off, are you? Selling you off? I have to pay the difference if so. Then, why are we here? Shopping, of course. Shopping? You’re so stingy. What did you say? What do we buy? What do you think?
Sunian, why are you here? I came to get something for my mom. What did you buy? Hey, why are you so nosy? We’ll get going. Bye, Mrs. Shao. Bye, Sunian. Mom! Why did you bring me to the cosmetic counters? I’ve never used these kinds of things. And
You didn’t know how to use them. I’ve thought it through these few days. You’ve grown up. You’ll be going to the university soon. It’s normal to want to look beautiful. Instead of forbidding you to use them, it’s better to buy you some good ones in case you do it recklessly
And end up in the hospital again. Miss. Hi. Can you recommend something suitable for my daughter? What is your price range? The best. This is our latest series. It has good moisturizing and sun protection effects. Try it. Let my daughter try it then. Xue, come over. It’s okay. Try it.
This has a good sun protection effect. And it’s moisturizing. It’s very suitable for young girls like you. How is it? It has a good sun protection effect. -It’s suitable for the outdoors. -Really? It has a mild scent. I’m home. Sunian, you’re home. What is this? For you. For me?
It’s not a festival or my birthday. Why did you get me a gift? I suddenly thought of it. So sweet. This seems to be for girls. I just grabbed it. Just make do. Well, I think you didn’t buy it for me. but for someone else but you didn’t give it to her.
I need to study. Tell me. I can help you with it. Do you need me to give it to her for you? [Class 1 Grade 11] [Song of the Pipa by Bai Juyi] Before we dismiss, I have something to tell you. The 10th-anniversary school celebration is around the corner. This time, the performance
Is going to be the grandest in history. If you’re good at something, you can participate in it. Those who want to give a show may register with the entertainment committee. But it must not affect your study. Okay? Okay. Okay. Class dismissed. Shiyin. Quick. Register it for me. -A play. -What’s the name?
I haven’t thought of it yet. Just write “Shao Xue’s show”. Quick. Write it down. Go on. What’s the show? A play. Amazing. What’s the story? I haven’t thought of the story yet. But the casts are in place, waiting for my instruction. I reject it. Why? [Competition Class] [Keep Silence]
I already feel tired studying every day. I don’t have time to sleep. Where do I find the time to act in a play? Then, why did you help Qiaomu shoot a short film? Keep your voice down. I was forced into it. I’ll be the director this time.
Aren’t you going to do it for my sake? You’ll be the director? Are you looking down on me? I’ll ask Sunian. He won’t act. Sunian will definitely join. I reject. Why, Sunian? I don’t want to act. You’re so frank. You don’t even give me a reason. Then,
Grade 12 students are not allowed to participate. You’re not allowed to register. It’s not that you can’t participate in other shows. Then… I just don’t want to act. Told you. Can I reject? What’s your reason? I have to work at the supermarket. So I don’t have the time. Shiyin,
I have been abandoned by the whole world. I only have you now. I can’t act. What’s your reason? I’m doing the opening dance. It’s very important. I don’t have the time. The audition hasn’t started yet. Why are you doing the opening dance then? We’re the school’s dance troupe. We’re exempted from the audition.
What will you be dancing to then? Revelry of the Doomsday. It’s the school celebration. Why are you dancing to the Revelry of the Doomsday? It sounds great, isn’t it? Our choreographer has such a unique idea. He returned from overseas. Handsome and mesmerizing. Are you crazy? Didn’t you order a song
Dedicated to Wang Haoran? Wang Haoran? Wang Haoran was just someone I liked on a whim. I’ve never spoken to him. But I adore this teacher very much. If you’ve seen the way he dances, you’ll definitely be fascinated by him. Your enthusiasm only lasts three minutes. After the dance, you’ll change your target.
Join me in my play. Art is what will be everlasting. Am I a half-hearted person? Yes, you are! A bunch of traitors. Xue, don’t be angry. I’ve been betrayed by the whole world! No one is willing to act in my play! I’ve registered and written half of the script! If you need someone,
I… I can join. Really? Are you willing to act in it, really? If you are, whether the male lead, the female lead, the righteous party, or the villain, you can choose to play any role. Just give me a minor role. I’m… not presentable. What are you talking about? Look at your big eyes
And high nose bridge. Under the light after applying some makeup, you’ll look stunning. Xue. What is it? What about… I’m talking to my female lead. Actually, I can act… Aren’t you going to dance to the Doomsday or something? Go ahead! It’s a deal then. I’ll write the script now. Xue…
Jin Ning and Zheng had a row? Impossible. We live next door. Why didn’t we hear any noise? Keep your voice down. Do they speak loudly like us? I just noticed it. The two crossed each other without speaking a word. I don’t believe they’d have a row. Look.
I’ve known Jin Ning for over a decade. She has never spoken harshly. Jing Ning is the apple of Zheng’s eyes. He loves her so much. How could he have a row with her? Stop. Ms. Jin. Getting some water? Look. What did I tell you? [One week ago] Jin Ning, dinner is ready.
Wait a minute. I’ll be right there. Let’s have dinner first. [A few days later] You seldom eat on time. It’s bad for your stomach. Let’s have dinner first. It’s the climax. Don’t disturb me. [Just one day ago] Can you stop it for a while? It’s almost over. Please.
Can we have our dinner first? It’s the climax. You always say so. Have dinner first. Turn it on. No. Have dinner first. If you don’t, I won’t eat. You… Sunian, look at your mom. She… -What have I done? -You’re being unreasonable. I… I’ll check in the kitchen. Be good.
Can we have dinner first? How could you reproach me in front of our son? He was just right here. Apologize. You’re the unreasonable one and I need to apologize? Why should I? You’ve changed. Aren’t you going to console her? No. It’s time to cure your mom’s bad habit. You have my admiration.
It was a matter of having dinner or watching television. What was there to argue about? Dinner’s ready. We should eat when it’s time for dinner. Why must she watch the television? Couldn’t she watch it after dinner? No wonder you can’t find a girlfriend. You need to go along with women.
You women are so troublesome. Xue, I’m leaving. I’ll show you the completed script tomorrow. I… What is it? I’m going to tailor-made a female lead role for you. You… You’re indeed going to let me play the female lead? Of course. I can’t. I have stage fright. Stage fright? I feel nervous on stage
And can’t say a word. It’s fine. I feel nervous on stage too. Just practice more. Xue, I… I don’t know how to put it. But I’ll embarrass you. It’s better not to choose me. Sorry. Tang Ya! You’re home. Dad, where’s mom? She’s having dinner at Xue’s home. She’s still mad?
It has gotten worse. Jin Ning, eat up. Here. Try this smoked tofu. -Ms. Jin Ning. -Thank you. Why did you have a row with Mr. Zheng? Xue, are you full? I haven’t even started. No. We have different living habits. That’s how life is. Having a racket. That’s the fun. That’s right.
Yes. Look at my mom and my dad. They have so much fun every day. Xue, we adults are talking. Why do you interrupt? Jin Ning is here. Don’t lecture our girl at dinner time. Did I lecture her? You… You didn’t reproach her. But you reproached me. No. You yelled at her. Did I?
Look, you deny it. This is the way I talk. Did I yell at her? Isn’t that yelling? She barely came here for dinner. Yet you had to lecture our kid at the dinner table. I know what you’re up to! Was class tiring today? No. Do you have a lot of homework? No. I…
Is the food salty? Dad, don’t force it. Sunian. Mr. Zheng. Xue. You’re still having dinner? Almost done. Have you had dinner? Join us. -There’s chicken. -I already had dinner. Did Ms. Jin Ning eat well? Yes. That’s good then. Dad, I’m full. Let’s go. We’ll get going then. Bye, Mr. Zheng. Bye.
