♪There’s no need to wander anymore♪ [Memory of Encaustic Tile] [Adapted from Beifeng Sanbaili’s original novel “Memory of Encaustic Tile”] [Episode 28] [Top Secret] You drew Xue here, didn’t you? Are you two an item now? Am I the first one to know about this? Yes, I haven’t had the chance to tell everyone.
Fine, I won’t tell anyone. Oh, the young people nowadays. You have to keep your relationship a secret to make it extra romantic, don’t you? Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me. Thanks, Master. I’ve been meaning to ask you this. Do you truly want to stay in this small yard forever?
My body might stay in this square but my heart travels beyond its boundary. Dad is the best. Save your compliments. Only compliment me when you bring your boyfriend back. Dad. I have something to tell you. Go ahead. Well, I am already… I’m back! Where were you? Pour me a glass of water, please.
I was mediating a dispute. Whose? The Lins’. Because of Shiyin again. What did she do? She was holding hands with Wu Huan and her mom saw it. What’s there to argue about? Judging from your reply, you already knew about it? See? Our daughter hid it from us. -In the future, she… -Mom!
Enough about me. Why were they arguing? Obviously, Ms. Ji Lan isn’t too happy about it. You know Wu Huan’s background, don’t you? And when you consider his mom’s health… Well, anyone will be worried. But Wu Huan is an honest and hardworking man. They will make it work. Exactly, he’s a fine young man.
I know he is but I understand why Ji Lan is worried. Forget about Wu Huan’s family background. In my opinion, if two families are close to one another, their children shouldn’t get together. Think about this. If the children make it work, then all is well. But if they can’t,
It just makes everything awkward for the two families. Is it that serious? Of course, it is. I had two colleagues in the Restoration Division. Their children got together but then broke up. And now, both of them have to avoid each other. It’s so awkward. Exactly. What were you saying just now? Nothing.
Chestnut will make you feel feverish. Don’t eat them. Why are you eating it then? Fine. You’re here to console me. Why aren’t you saying anything? There, there. Since your family knows about it already, you might as well make it official. I don’t want to. My parents have already given me enough headaches.
If everyone knows about it, it will be even more troublesome. If you’re together with Sunian, will you tell everyone? Xue? Xue? Sunian! You… Something has changed between you two! When did it start? Come clean now. When I looked for her in Guangxi. Oh, my! You two were completely exhausted that day
And you still had the energy to start a relationship? Wait. That night, both of you shared the same room, right? Zheng Sunian, you are quite something! Give her innocence back! Stop yelling. I started it first. I taught you all these years for nothing. By the way, since we’re together already,
Don’t pull any more tricks. You two ingrates. You want me to leave? No way. I will call Zhang Qi. Sure! I haven’t heard from him for so long. Hi, Zhang Qi. What a rare occurrence. Why did you call me all of a sudden? I have great news for you.
What? Wu Huan dumped you? Go to hell. Two lovebirds finally got together! Come talk to them. Hi, Zhang Qi. Why didn’t you call us? We missed you. I didn’t want to disturb your romantic time. Go find a girlfriend too then. Or else, Ms. Zhang Ling will grow impatient.
[Zhang Qi. Line 1. Connected] I have many admirers. I don’t have the time to go through all of them. Stop bragging. When I’m back, all of you owe me a big meal. Sure, no problem. I have a class to attend. See you. Bye.
[To the silliest person in the world, Zhang Qi. Don’t lose your dorm key again!] I should go now too. Bye then! Lovers before friends. Sunian, can I tell you something? Go ahead. Perhaps we can keep our relationship a secret? Because Shiyin’s relationship wasn’t well-received? We’re still students. If they know about us,
My varsity life will be a living hell. Fine. Do what you want. We’ll decide once I can marry you. Excuse me. I didn’t say I would marry you. Denying it again? Even your good friend knows you started it first. You’re getting cheekier. I’ll ignore you Zheng, don’t be this formal with me.
You can teach me how to make steamed pork ribs that won’t taste too dry. Mom. -Mr. Zheng. -Xue. Sunian, you’re here. Wait, don’t you have things to do in your school? It ended early. Good then. Have dinner here. It’s not right for me to keep coming here for free dinner. Teach me
-how to steam pork ribs. -Exactly. -Hurry up. -All right. I’ll prepare the pork ribs. and teach you how to cook them. I’m having a lecture. Why are you here? I’m supervising your study [Seeking knowledge may be tough but diligence is all it takes.] How am I supposed to study like this?
[Shunda Express Logistics Company] Hello? Take a leave this afternoon to come shopping with me. I… I won’t drink with you. Dongge will. You… -Oh, my. -Hurry. Fine, I’ll drink. Come. Free food and free wine. Chug it. Chug it. -I can never outdrink him. -Eat. It’s so spicy. Don’t drink so much.
I saw on the news that the tickets for next year’s Olympics are available now. We’re not interested. Do you know how to do it? This one? Yes, this one. It’s so easy. -Oh, really? -Yeah. Can you help me? Okay. Thank you, because I think I will… [Shunda Express] Thank you. Okay. Here. Mister,
You shouldn’t just work all day. When are you showing us your girlfriend? Just go back to work already. All right. Sunian. Did you miss me? You scared me. What are you doing? Time… Time to take care of this plant. Stop it. The plant didn’t cross you so don’t pluck all its leaves.
Look over here. Three. Two. One. Cheese! Come. Let me take a photo of both of you. Go to him. Stand here. I’ll take a wedding photo for you two. Come. Closer. Here. Look at me. Three. Two. One. ♪As pure as before♪ ♪While talking and laughing♪ ♪Repay the world with kindness ♪ [Hiring]
♪The time that we lost♪ ♪Slowly emerges from the sea♪ ♪It turns out that the person who didn’t go far is at hand♪ Thank you. Next candidate, please. ♪Once you hesitated to bid farewell♪ ♪Staggering to take adventures♪ ♪In different dreams♪ ♪Walking step by step♪ ♪Like a gust of wind♪ ♪Like a breeze♪
♪Waving doesn’t mean goodbye♪ ♪Like a gust of wind♪ [Student Association Notice Board] Shao Xue. Senior. Xue, come here. Xue. -Can you see it done? -Okay. What’s the matter? Have a seat. ♪Those troubles that we never told each other♪ I have great news for you. What news? Didn’t we go through the interview
For Huanyu? Look. This must be our reward for taking part in the volunteer teaching program. [Huanyu Investment Corporation] Second interview invitation? Exactly. But I applied to be an intern for the China branch. This is the headquarter. Headquarters is the big deal. You know, so many people racked their brains
And they couldn’t get in. But the headquarter is overseas. Aren’t you dying to explore the world? This is a great chance. Xue, your dream is right in front of you. It will be a shame if you don’t take it. Either way, you should give this interview a try. The second and third interviews
Will take two weeks at most. You can decide once you’re chosen. Sure. Think about it. Think about it. You’ll be in your last year soon. What you should do now is to find yourself a good job, not to go abroad. Why are you going abroad? Mom, I’ll only be abroad for two weeks. It’s to help my school as well.
Can’t you help your school here? It’s a good opportunity for Xue. She’s still a university student. She should try to get more work experience. That way, she’ll have an easier time finding a job. Easier time? I want you to take up a post-grad program. Will you do it?
I want you to find a boyfriend and you still haven’t done it. What do you want? Have you thought about where you’ll go then? Xue. Madam. Sunian. Sunian, come and have dinner with us. I have another dish to cook. Have a seat. Take your time, Ms. Yu. Sunian, where’s your dad?
He found a treasure in Panjiayuan this afternoon. He’s tinkering with it now. What treasure? A broken clockwork, I think. Curse him. Why didn’t he tell me? Zheng! I need to tell you something. What are you doing? Recharging. We barely met this month. We’re both busy. You’re busy graduating. I’m busy volunteering.
So I need to recharge. What do you want to tell me? Sunian. Early next month, I’ll be abroad for two weeks. Abroad? My senior, Mo Hai, found a translation gig. The pay is good and it’s a great working experience so I want to give it a try.
But it’s the end of the month now. Yes. So… I will leave in a few days. Why did you tell me now? I only got this opportunity recently. Xue. Let’s have dinner first. Come and eat. Are we not waiting for my dad? No need. I’ll save some for him. Have a seat. Sunian.
I have a question for you. Xue wants to go abroad to help her school. Does that count as work experience? Of course, Ms. Yu. One should work more when he or she is still in university and after graduation, one will have a stable job. I trust you then. Come, dig in. Ms. Yu.
Wu Huan? Wu Huan. What’s with all of these? I’m here to pay you a visit. My mom asked me to bring you these. Your mom is so polite. Place them here. Bring them back later, okay? Since you’re here and we are having dinner, why not join us? All right then. Thanks, Ms. Yu.
No need to thank me. You don’t come here often. Make yourself at home. I’ll bring you chopsticks and a bowl. Thanks, Ms. Yu. You’re welcome. Wu Huan, don’t be shy. Just eat. You two are so lucky. You live near each other. You can see each other every day.
Don’t you hang out with Shiyin every day too? Quite regularly. Xue, have you been hanging out with Shiyin lately? Yes. Just two days ago, we went shopping together. Oh, didn’t she say she would be back tonight? Go find her later. I will. Here, Wu Huan. This is your bowl of rice.
Thanks, Ms. Yu. If it’s not enough, I’ll bring you some more. Okay. What’s the matter? Are my dishes not delicious? Why aren’t you eating? Not at all. It’s not that, Ms. Yu. Here. Thanks, Ms. Yu. Xue, get some food for Sunian. Try this. Thanks, Ms. Yu. Sunian. You ate so little.
I’m not hungry. Are you upset? Because I’m going abroad? No, it’s just too… sudden. Then I’ll stay. You’ll resent me. I won’t. I will resent myself. Xue, I don’t want to tie you down. But now, I… I just can’t help myself. I want you to stay by my side. Sunian. Did you watch
More romantic drama? If you can’t help it, so be it. This is for you. What are you doing? Whenever you miss me, blow on it and I’ll appear right in front of you. You think you’re the Monkey King? Does it hurt? Try it if you won’t trust me. Blow with your eyes closed.
♪Missing you♪ ♪No better place to go♪ ♪I even want to hear the birds say miss me♪ ♪Missing you♪ People are watching! Put me down. You taught me this. ♪Why don’t you just find me at three?♪ Kabedon. You dare kabedon the Monkey King? I will somersault my way out of here.
♪The sweetest hour starts from the time♪ You can never somersault your way out of my love. ♪We meet♪ ♪I love you, lovely♪ ♪You’re the smell made for me♪ ♪I love you, lovely, Mi Amor♪ ♪I love you, lovely, my love ♪ ♪Never feel my life alone♪ ♪My sweetest boy♪ ♪And me♪ [Public Phone Booth]
Why are you here? Why can’t we talk over the phone? What’s the matter? Nothing. I just want to tell you that I might leave this place for a training program. For how long? Six months. Six months? Is it necessary? Does being a courier require training? I’m not looking down on your job.
I just think that if it’s too long, I will miss you. And when I need you… Shiyin, we have hardly met for the past six months. Because you were busy, busy enjoying your varsity life. When you don’t need me, I have to bugger off. When you need me,
No matter how busy or tired I am, I have to be there. Isn’t that right? But I have been really busy lately. I hang out with you whenever I’m free. What is this attitude? What attitude do you expect from me? Groveling? Tip-toeing around you? Or perhaps just like before?
You used to treat me so nicely. And now, you are just ignoring my feelings. [Liuli Hutong] Fine. We’ll speak once you improve on your attitude. Okay. Wait. Use this gift card to buy your mom some supplements. No, thanks. I can buy them myself. I want you to keep it, so keep it.
I’m still mad, okay? Xue. Xue. Xue. Freeze. I’m here to rob you. You want my money or my body? I want everything. Let’s see if you have what it takes then. I’m definitely taking your body. Zheng. Come stay at our place. Didn’t they go to Panjiayuan? Honestly, we should stop visiting that market.
Quick. Switch off the light. It’s overpriced. At first, only the big stores were bullying the customers. And now, the smaller ones start to take advantage of us too. Is Dongge home? Dongge has a gathering. Why is the door open? Xue’s room is still dark. Oh, Xue.
She left the house and forgot to close the door. She’s just like her mom. I should have recorded it and played it to my mom. You’re so mean. Come closer. I’ll tell you something. I am mean. Zheng. Sunian has started working. It’s time for him to find a girlfriend. It’s too early.
He won’t listen to me anyway. Right. Sunian has always been an opinionated kid. We don’t know what his type is either. I’m his type. Does Xue have a boyfriend now? She hasn’t mentioned anything. However, she keeps mentioning a senior. I think she’s into him. You have seen him? How is he?
I have never met him. But I was thinking, they are both in linguistics anyway. If Xue doesn’t want to work here, at least, he can travel with her. This wine pot looks good. Since Dongge is not here, should we…? Let’s go out then. I’m starving after shopping for the whole day.
The things we found today are not too shabby. I agree. I think the three items I have are good. That wine pot is quite authentic too. We don’t have to hide, actually. I often come here to hang out with you anyway. We have been together for two years already.
It’s time to tell everyone. But I heard dad is usually hostile against his future son-in-law. If my dad doesn’t like you anymore, what should we do? I’m confident in myself. Perhaps I can tell them now? Let’s wait until I come back from overseas. [Customer First] Xue! Shiyin, you’re just meeting a friend.
Do you have to get all dolled up? I have to let everyone in your school know who your best friend is. I look like a nanny next to you now. Anyway, let’s go shopping later. I’ll pick you something that looks nice on you. No, thanks. The plane ticket costs a fortune.
I’m penniless now. Where are you going this time? It’s an interview. An interview? For which company? Huanyu Investment Corporation. Huanyu? Not bad. My senior hosted their annual meeting. It’s a grand event. Isn’t Huanyu in Beijing? That’s their China branch. My interview is with their headquarter. That’s amazing! A huge company overseas.
Your dream is about to come true. It’s a wonderful opportunity. Why are you sulking? Because I haven’t told Sunian and my parents about this. Why? If I’m chosen, I have to work overseas. Isn’t it great? You have always wanted to see the world outside. You can explore to your heart’s content. But
I’ll be separated from Sunian. Then… Ask him to come with you. Sunian has worked for the Restoration Department for a long time. It’s a stable job now. I don’t want him to change his job because of me. Xue. This is an amazing opportunity. It’ll be a shame if you miss it.
Think for yourself. Don’t squander it away for a man. What happened? Did you squander your chance away for Wu Huan? A quarrel? That jerk. He used to treat me like a princess. And now, he throws tantrum at me. Shiyin, sometimes, I think you’re… Enough. Let’s not talk about it. Let’s go shopping.
What do you think? Is it good? This place has the best lighting and the best design in this area. All right. I’ll take it. Sunian. I don’t get you. You’re from Beijing. Why don’t you live with your parents? Renting your own place is the first step towards independence. Indeed. In other words,
It’s also a love nest. Either way, I’m glad to see you move into the same area as me. When I’m bored, we can drink together. When Yunjin moves here, you won’t have time for me. She won’t move here anymore. Haven’t you been planning for it? She can’t let go of her cheongsam boutique.
I’m busy too so I won’t have time for her when she’s here. Is it because she would find out about it? About what? You have been getting real close with Xue Ning. No one can compare to Yunjin. Let’s go. We should shop. You haven’t even moved in yet and you’re planning
To buy the daily necessities already. Just in case. Fine. Tell me. Is this your final decision? What is? You’ll only marry her? Yes. I envy you. You can marry your first love. You can too if you want to. You need to act fast then. When she graduates and enters the workforce,
She might change. Sunian. Come. Yes, Mr. Shao? Come have dinner with us. My wife has marinated the beef. Your dad is waiting here already. Maybe I’ll come with Xue? Xue won’t be here. She said the Chinese Olympic Committee needed a translator. She filled in ad hoc. Oh, she also bought you a shirt.
It’s in her room. Okay. I’ll put my thing down first. Okay. Be quick then. [A Sky Full of Stars, Stars] Behind us, it is the biggest and the most preserved royal palace in China. Over here, everybody. This way. Yes, Sunian? Didn’t we agree that we would eat together tonight? I have this
Urgent translation job. They need manpower now. I’ll come to pick you up when you’re done. God knows when this will end. Have dinner without me. My mom’s marinated beef is the best. Will I be rewarded for my obedience? What do you want? I want to see you tonight. You’re leaving tomorrow.
We won’t be able to see each other for two weeks. But I might finish late today. You know what? I’ll look for you when I’m back. All right? Okay. I’ll wait for you. Bye. [Shunda Express] Who are you looking for? We’re closing. I’m looking for Wu Huan. Wu Huan?
You must be his girlfriend. He’s inside there. Go ahead. Thanks. Shiyin. Why are you here? If I don’t come to you, you won’t come to me, is that it? No. You won’t coddle me when I’m mad? I plan to. It’s just I’m really overwhelmed with work here. Using work as an excuse again.
Shiyin. This is not just a job. It’s my career. Your career? This is not a career. I find you this job anyway. I’ll find something better for you next time. Then… We’ll watch a movie once you’re done? I have to finish the tasks today. All right. Work then.
Is the Red Riding Hood home? Why are the windows closed? The Red Riding Hood shouldn’t open her windows for the Big Bad Wolf. Fine. The Big Bad Wolf will leave then. Sunian, give me a moment. I’ll get changed and come with you. Ms. Yu. Why did you do that? Do you like it?
Do you like it? I love your drawings. Do you still remember this? Of course. I drew it for your birthday. You said you would bring me to these places. I drew many places. Where do you want to go most? Once you graduate, we’ll go there together.
There are too many places I want to visit. But every time I ask myself that question, I get different answers. Sunian, remember when you gave me this as a present, I was preparing for the Two Plus One program? Yes. I can recall how determined you were but you didn’t pass the interview.
What if I passed it? Would you want me to leave? Back then, I would. Now, I don’t. What’s the matter? Nothing. I was just curious. It’s late now. I have to pack my luggage. Let’s go back home. Go back home. ♪As I traverse this path without minding it♪
