♪There’s no need to wander anymore♪ [Memory of Encaustic Tile] [Adapted from Beifeng Sanbaili’s original novel “Memory of Encaustic Tile”] [Episode 22] [A Tiny Ambition] A call? From who? My girlfriend. You’re so loyal. What about you? I… I don’t feel like going. Nice. He’s something else. He’s too lazy to find an excuse.
You have a strong personality. Fine. I’ll go there myself. My brother, what was your name again? Zheng… Zheng Sunian. Zheng Sunian? I remember now. You’re the person who got first place for the cultural course! I’m not sure about that. It is you! You scored over 500 marks!
I didn’t expect us to stay in the same room! Aren’t I lucky? Niannian, let me treat you to a meal! You can speak without touching me. Don’t be shy. In the future, we’ll be good buddies who will share the same pants. Hurry, give me a hug!
Let me get some of that top student’s aura. [Liuli Hutong] [For the silliest person in the world, Zhang Qi. You mustn’t lose your dorm keys] My little Lord! Hurry up! Your car is here! Hurry up! I’m done. Hurry! Hey, you must be careful since you’re bringing so many things to the airport.
Be very careful. Don’t lose them. Don’t worry. I’m an adult now. You’re still a child to me. Put it in properly. Done. Give me the bag. Study hard, okay? And take good care of yourself. Give me a hug. Mom, don’t worry. I won’t let you and Dad down. Take care, little brat.
Go now. I’ll make a move now. My son, I have something for you. What? I don’t lack money. See you. Go now. What a little brat. Hubby, congratulations. Our son has made us proud. He got himself a slot in UTSC. He had made us proud. Thank you
For gifting me with such a great son. Actually, I’ve been blaming you all these years. But now, all those years of hardships that I’d endured, I think they’re worth it. Can you see it? I always wore it on my finger. I will never remove it. I want you to return the favor
You owed me in your next life. You need to treat us extra well in our next lifetime. You aren’t allowed to abandon us and leave before us next time, understood? [Always Remembered] Ms. Yu. Ms. Yu! Someone is waiting for you at the entrance. Xin Jie? Why are you here?
I’m sure you didn’t expect to see me here. How’s your health? I used to lie down all the time. It made my health worse. Now, I’m trying to be active. What is this? Can you do me a favor and sell this for me? Don’t worry. I didn’t steal this. I drew it myself.
Your drawing is exceptional. I drew it many years ago. I couldn’t bear to part with it before. Why are you selling this away? You should keep it for yourself. Some time ago, I fell sick again. Now, my house is barely surviving. Wu Huan is in a terrible state because of me.
I really have no choice. You’re the only person I can beg. Xin Jie, I can only give it a try. You know this as well. I don’t know anyone who knows how to appreciate such drawings. Why don’t I bring you to see Mr. Luo? Let’s go.
It’s fine as long as I can buy a meal with the money. I’m too ashamed to see Master. I’ll be counting on you then. Please resume your work. I’ll return first. Xin Jie, wait for me. I’ll get some money for you. Are you mocking me? I’m not your kin.
You don’t owe me any money or favor. I’m grateful enough that you’re doing this favor for me. See you then. Dongge. Thank you. Guys, you guys are in your senior year now. [Towards NCEE and a better dream] You guys must think about the universities you would like to get into
And the courses you want to select. [Do your best and get into university] You must have a goal. Look at Zhang Qi. He had a goal in mind. Now, he got himself a slot at UTSC. That’s why you guys need to make your decision beforehand. Class dismissed. Xue,
Which course do you plan to pick? I haven’t made up my mind yet. I’m so envious of you. You have such a clear goal. Okay, then. I’ll attend my professional course now. Goodbye. Tang Ya, have you made up your mind? Which course did you pick? I haven’t made up my mind yet.
I’m pretty bad at everything. I’m in a dilemma as well. Initially, I thought of asking my parents about it. But I think they have no idea as well. Tomorrow is the weekend, right? I think I’ll go and ask Sunian about it. I’m so envious of you. You have so many friends
That can assist you in making life decisions. Wu Huan, what about you? Which course did you pick? I don’t plan on getting into any university. I’m already attending interviews. -Interviews? -Interviews? I’m not cut out for studying. I plan to work. What kind of work? [Qiming High School] Logistics. What’s that?
Online shopping is the current trend, right? Logistics involves sending and packing the goods. I think it has a lot of potential. You’re right. Now, more and more people are buying into the idea of online shopping. You have great foresight. I don’t dare to brag about anything else,
But you guys will get free delivery when you buy things online in the future. I’ll remember that. I’ll make a move first. You guys can enjoy your chat. Goodbye. Goodbye. Wu Huan. You… Are you free tomorrow? What’s the matter? I… I wish to treat you to a meal. I want to thank you
For finding me a job at the supermarket. I should be the one thanking you instead. The supervisor told me that you begged him to give me your wage and told him to lie to me that I got a raise. How could he do this? He promised me that he’d keep it a secret.
He shouldn’t keep that a secret. You must never do this again in the future. Thank you. I’ll make a move first. Wu Huan, thank you for treating me as a friend. See you. Take a guess at whose gift this is. You have no idea, right? Listen up. This is for you.
Who gave it to me? Xue Ning, the beauty of the design course. My goodness. She’s fair, rich, and beautiful. If you still care about that little girlfriend of yours, I’m willing to sacrifice myself for your sake. You may go ahead. As the saying goes, ‘you should not covet
Your friend’s wife.’ Here, take it. Hey, don’t you think it’s strange? Why isn’t anyone trying to court Niannian? Look at his amazing figure and marvelous looks. Even a guy like me would fall for you. Thank you for nothing, I guess. Let’s get straight into business. What kind of girl do you like?
I can introduce someone to you. I have no interest in relationships. So you’ve never been in a relationship before, am I right? I can tell at first glance. You have no experience at all! If so, you’ve found the right person. I’m truly an expert when it comes to relationships. Listen,
In the past, I was chased by an endless number of girls. They were lining up in order to court me. What do you mean by that? You don’t believe me? I never boast. I can swear to the heavens. ♪My passion♪ ♪Is just like a torch♪ ♪Lighting up the entire desert♪
Take off your uniform first. If not, they won’t dry off in time. ♪My passion♪ ♪Is just like a torch♪ Come on. Come on. Sunian. [1-207] Shouldn’t you introduce her to us? So who is she? She’s my neighbor. [To Sunian, the best person in the world, from Shao Xue] Niannian,
I think I know your weakness now. Niannian? Let’s go. We’re leaving already? What? Do you still wish to see him naked? No thanks. Let’s go. Visit us when you’re free, okay? Remember to visit us. Do you believe that he’s only treating her as his neighbor? That’s none of your business. Sunian,
Your dorm mate looks pretty flippant. You shouldn’t let him influence you too much. Pei Shu is the only problematic one. Yunsheng is fine. I think he doesn’t like to speak. Maybe it’s because he’s having a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend. Do you think a long-distance relationship is reliable?
I saw many girls trying to court him. But he has no interest in them. He’s pretty loyal. That’s pretty great. You should hang out with him more often and avoid Pei Shu. Let’s go. I’ll bring you around. ♪Love is a bird that cannot be restrained♪ ♪No one can tame it♪
♪If it chooses to reject♪ Sunian, since when did you like to drink coffee? ♪Summoning it will be useless♪ I’m just trying something new occasionally. It’s very fragrant. ♪Threatening or begging will only bring you frustration♪ By the way, why were you looking for me? Our teacher asked us
About the major we wanted to choose. I feel a bit lost. What do you think I should pick? ♪But the one I love♪ What did your parents say? Of course, my mother wants me to get into Tsinghua or Peking University. But my father is more realistic.
He told me to let nature take its course. ♪Love♪ ♪Love♪ ♪Love♪ Do you know what’s a minority language? What is it? A girl from our batch wanted to major in minority languages. But I’m not really clear about that. ♪Lawless♪ I only know that you must have a good command of English
Before you can major in that course. What’s the use of learning that? It depends on you. Worst case scenario, you can be a translator. What’s wrong with being a translator? A translator is good enough. That’s right. It’s viable even if it’s the worst-case scenario. And this course is mainly in English.
You don’t need to worry at all. You’re right. I’m very talented with languages. Yeah, you’re confident as well. Sunian, you know me the best indeed. ♪If I fall for you♪ It’s so fragrant. ♪You must be careful♪ Shiyin? You’re here? This is for you. Thank you. Please come in. Shiyin, you’re here? Hello, Madam.
Do you know who I am? Wu Huan mentions you often. Come, have a drink. Thank you, Madam. It’s an old ailment of mine. It’s incurable. I didn’t notice that. Instead, I think that you have pretty hands. Your fingers are fair and slender. You can become a hand model.
You do know how to please an old woman like me. Of course. Shiyin’s dream is to become a host. Of course, she’s eloquent. Is that so? Tell me the TV station you’re in when you get yourself a job. I will watch that channel. I’ll try my best. Have a seat.
-Okay. -I’ll be back in a bit. Don’t you want to open it? Okay. I bought you a formal shirt since you’d be going for your job interviews soon. [Hiring] Thank you. I’ll wear it tomorrow. Tang Ya? Why are you here? I… I just wanted to give you a birthday present. Happy birthday. Lass, don’t leave. You must be Wu Huan’s classmate as well. Hello, Madam. Come and have a seat. It’s fine. You guys can continue. I’ll make a move first. Thank you, Madam. Don’t leave.
It’s Wu Huan’s birthday. The more the merrier. Come. You should have a seat since you’re here already. You guys can have a chat. I’ll cook a few more dishes. I don’t know what to buy for you. You can wear this shirt when you go to work. Take a look
And see if you like it. This shirt looks great. Happy birthday. I’ll make a move first. Shiyin. Shiyin? Shiyin! What? Aren’t you joining us for dinner? Someone else is here to celebrate your birthday for you. I truly didn’t know that she was coming. It’s fine. You guys can celebrate it together.
She’s just here to give me my birthday present out of kind intention. Can you please don’t be furious? I’m not furious. Can you not be hostile towards her? Can you try to be friends with her? I don’t want to be friends with her. Can you stop being willful? I’m willful?
Will I be here to celebrate your birthday for you if I’m willful? Fine then. I won’t force you to come in the future. What did you say? I’m too lazy to argue with you. Eat up. The food will get cold if you wait any longer. Look at that crazy girl.
She’s not home even though it’s dinner time. Dad, Mom, I’m back! We’re waiting for you. Hurry up. No, thanks. I already had dinner. You guys can enjoy your meal! Minority languages. Minority languages. Minority languages. It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemy, but
It takes a great deal more to stand up to your friend. Guess what it means? It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemy, but it takes a great deal more to stand up to your friend. It’s fine as long you don’t stand up to us.
Don’t you guys think that I’m cool as a translator? Yeah. Of course. Hello, Sunian? I’ve decided. I’ll study minority languages. Good. I support your decision. Do you need me to do anything for you? Your support is good enough! That’s all I wanted to say to you.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep tonight if I don’t tell you about them. You can go to sleep now. Good night. Good night. Bye-bye! Good night, Sunian. I realized that this neighbor of yours is pretty clingy. Just play your video game. Our Niannian is actually shy? I’m sure it’s not mine.
Hello, Yunjin? How was the military training? Was it tiring? Not at all. It’s not tiring as long as you call him. Who was speaking just now? It was my dorm mate. He was just joking. So are there any beautiful girls out there who are trying to court you? Of course, not.
None of them is as beautiful as you. You should go out more often. Many places are worth visiting in Beijing. Don’t worry. I’ll show him around! Yunjin, it’s getting late. You should rest early. Okay. That dorm mate of mine is sick. You’re sick. Sunian. Come, have a seat. What’s the matter?
Sunian, since you’re from Beijing, can you show me around? Sure. Where do you wish to go? I wish to find a high-class silk shop. You’re a man, you know? What’s with you trying to visit a silk shop? I’m finding it for my girlfriend. She specializes in making Cheongsam.
The Cheongsam lady of Jiangnan and a handsome man? Seems like an interesting story. Tell me about it. Nope. Do you think I wish to hear your story? Silk cloth? I can ask Xue’s mother about it. She does textile restoration. Textile restoration? Where? At the Restoration Department. I wish to check out that place.
Sure. Me too. You can go there yourself. Sunian. Sunian, just bring me along! It’s decided then. I haven’t been here before. It’s great to work in a place like this. It’s quiet. By the way, have they encountered anything strange when they were working? Believe in science. -You’re so dull. -Sunian!
Isn’t this your neighbor? Isn’t this the guy who was half-naked last time? Why aren’t you in school? There’s no school today as they need to use our school as a venue for the adults’ self-study exam. I’m sending lunch to my mother. What about you guys? We? I’m bringing my sons out
To check out the place. Mister, you look young. I’m sure you’re not even 50 years old. You win. They wish to check out the Restoration Department. Let’s go then. Come on, Mister. I’ll bring you around. Let’s go, Mister. Mister, let’s go. Stop calling me that. Mom! Ms. Kang. Ms. Kang.
-Sunian, you’re here? -Hello, Madam. Ms. Yu. Let me take a look. It’s been more than a month since I last saw you. You’ve gotten slimmer. Mom, did you forget about your daughter? Do you think I’m blind? There’s nothing special about you. I see you every day. By the way, Madam,
These are my dorm mates. This is Pei Shu. Hello, Madam. Hello. This is Bai Yunsheng. Ms. Kang. It’s been a while. When I was on my way here, I thought about the things I wanted to tell you. But since you’re doing pretty well right now, I guess there’s nothing I need to say.
Goodbye. What’s going on? Bai Yunsheng! Bai Yunsheng! Ms. Kang, do you guys know each other? I guess you can say that. Both Ms. Kang and Yunsheng are from Suzhou. So how did you guys know each other? Xue, stop asking random questions. You’d sent me lunch, right? You should hurry and return home.
It’s fine. This incident happened way too long ago. It was going to corrode my stomach. I wish to tell you guys what happened. Xue, do you still remember the person in that photo? He’s Bai Yunsheng’s father. I fell for him when I was young. But I didn’t know that he was already married.
Sunian, tell me. Who’s in the wrong when it comes to Ms. Kang’s incident? It feels confusing. No one is right or wrong when it comes to a relationship. Maybe, they don’t know for sure as well. Why does it seem like you’re an expert in this? Do you talk to beautiful girls
About relationships every day? Currently, I have never spoken more than three sentences to every girl I see. But your dorm mates don’t seem that way to me. They’re them. Birds of a feather flock together. Xue! What? Have you gained some weight lately? No, I haven’t.
Hop on. Let me put it to the test. Fine. Seems like you’ve gained a lot of weight. I haven’t! You have. I haven’t! You have. I haven’t! I won’t steal your food. Take your time. Take your time. Take your time. Take your time. Dad. Why didn’t you turn on the lights? You’re back?
Don’t move! Don’t run! Mimi, come back! Why is it here? On your first day of college, it came into our house right after you left. After that, it didn’t leave. Maybe it’s because it’s getting old and it doesn’t feel like wandering anymore. Why did you come back suddenly today? I showed my friends
Around the Restoration Department today. I came back on the way. Have you eaten then? Not yet. Great. I haven’t eaten either. I’ll make dinner. Noodles with soybean paste. Dad, why didn’t you tear off the calendar? It’s September now. Leaf through what? The calendar. I forgot about it.
You forgot about it for an entire month? What’s the matter? Nothing. I… I know. I burnt the sauce. This… It’s been too long since I last cooked. I forgot how to cook. Sunian, don’t eat this. I’ll make a new bowl of noodles for you. No need for that, Dad. I’ll eat this.
It’s pretty good. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Dad. Shiyin, explain this question to me. I don’t know how to solve it. This one. Wu Huan, why are you only here by now? I went for the job interview. How was it? I don’t think it’s going to end well. Don’t give up.
I’m sure you’ll succeed next time. You can do it! How do I solve this? Wu Huan, I’ve searched for logistics companies near your house. Although they’re small, it’ll be convenient for you to take care of your mom. Thanks. Don’t mention it. I realized that there are many logistics companies
Around here after I searched for them. I’m sure you’ll find a job. Xue, accompany me to refill my bottle. Didn’t you just drink some water? Shiyin! Shiyin! Lin Shiyin! Why are you furious? I hate Tang Ya. Why? She always steals my things. First, she stole you from me. Now, she’s stealing…
I don’t understand what you mean. Anyway, she always goes against me. But to me, it seems like you’re going against her. How is that possible? Who are you siding with? Anyway, we’re here to refill your bottle. Where’s your bottle? Give me some of it after you’ve refilled yours.
I guess art students like you are hard to read. Sunian is an art student as well. He’s different from you. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Which one shall I pick? It is you then. You’re finally back. Hurry! You don’t know how excruciating it was for me for the past few days.
Hurry and have a seat. I was just gone for one day, you know? It felt like a year to me. Even when Baibai came back, he didn’t speak to me at all. No matter how hard I tried to cheer him up, he’d only utter words like: “Hmm, ah, oh”. Where is he?
He went to class. He’s not back yet. We should let him cool down for some time. It will be good for him. To me, I can only feel his coldness. By the way, you know Xue Ning, right? I don’t. You don’t even know the beauty of the design course?
It’s the girl who’s been trying to court Baibai ever since the military training started. Listen up. I’ve witnessed something new today. Baibai was putting on a stern face so that no one would approach him. But that girl is something else. She wasn’t afraid at all.
Instead, she tried to cling on to him. She followed him from here all the way to the self-study room. Many girls were following you as well. You’re right about that. But they aren’t as beautiful as her. I’m perplexed. You and Baibai are on an equal footing. When school was in session,
Many girls were trying to know you. Now, all of them are gone. Maybe it’s because of what I said in class. What did you say? ♪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♪
