♪There’s no need to wander anymore♪ [Memory of Encaustic Tile] [Adapted from Beifeng Sanbaili’s original novel “Memory of Encaustic Tile”] [Episode 21] [A Step into the Adult World] Ms. Kang, is today an important occasion? What’s with all the delicious food? Today… Today is his death anniversary. Actually, I don’t even know if it’s today.
His body was discovered three days after he jumped into the lake. That’s why I don’t want to face these three days in a sober manner every year. I guess I was being too much just now. Why did I tell you all of those? You’re still young. Now, you just need
To believe that this world is filled with great things. Ms. Kang, your makeup today looks amazing. Can you teach me how to put on makeup? My makeup skills were terrible back then. Zhang Qi even teased me for it. Okay. I’ll teach you how to put on makeup.
If you two still don’t agree to it, I’ll skip school tomorrow as well. My dear daughter, when will you stop being willful? The teacher said I had potential! Why can’t you guys just agree to it? This time, your father and I will stop spoiling you. We will never agree to it.
I won’t eat if you two disagree! Suit yourself! I want to take up broadcasting! That’s what I want to learn! I’ll take the exam even if you two don’t agree to it! How dare you do that! Come here! Why are you here? Shiyin, why have you been skipping school lately?
That’s none of your business! Shiyin. Stop following me! Where… Where are you going? Shiyin, if you really don’t know where to go, let me bring you somewhere. Is this the place you mentioned? Have a seat. Wait for me. What are you doing? I don’t eat junk food. They aren’t meant to be eaten.
They’re meant to be crushed. This is how I vent my anger whenever I’m angry. So childish. Give it a try. It’s really effective. Heaven and earth, god of instant noodles, show yourself. It’s really effective. Just give it a try. [Mala-flavored instant noodles] What do you think? Do you feel better? I guess.
So what did you do when you skipped school for the past few days? I went to take a broadcasting class. But my mother isn’t happy with it. So why did you take up broadcasting in the first place? I was born to be a host, okay? How dare you laugh at me?
I’m not laughing at you. I just think that this can’t be considered a valid reason. Have you been a host before? I’ve only done it at the school’s radio station. I’m afraid you can’t convince your parents with this. You need to let them witness your performance as a host.
So what should I do? I have an idea. The place I worked in is going to hold their anniversary celebration soon. I’ll beg my supervisor to let you be the emcee of that event. An emcee for an event? At least you can be on stage. Moreover, how can you be on TV
If you don’t even dare to show yourself on small stages? Who said I don’t dare to show up? Fine, I’ll go. Xue, you’re so beautiful. Ms. Kang, it’s all thanks to your amazing makeup skills. My mother couldn’t do it. Xue, your future husband must be a very lucky man. [Maths Olympiad]
Both of them aren’t back yet? I’m back. Xue, you’re back? Wait a minute! How’s Ms. Kang? She’ll be fine after a few days. Did you put on makeup? Ms. Kang did my makeup for me. Do I look good? You look great. Keep this from Mom, okay? Yeah, yeah. Where’s Mom?
She went to Ms. Ji Lan’s house. They said they were going to talk about Shiyin. Okay, then. Wait! Come. Zhang Qi came to find you just now. These are the Math Olympiad books he gave you. Why did he give these to me? He said as long as you can complete these questions,
You’ll be fine for the NCEE. He overestimated my abilities. I can’t even understand basic maths. And he wants me to study for Maths Olympiad? Sunian came to find you as well. He said he was going to take a one-month trip to find inspiration for his drawings. Before he departs,
He wants you to accompany him to visit Ms. Jin Ning’s grave together. I’ll give him my reply right now. No need for that. I said yes on your behalf. I knew that you would surely go with him. Thank you, Dad. Where are you going? I’m returning to my room.
You better remove your makeup. Your mother will return soon. You’re right! Wu Huan, what’s going on? It’s something good. This child told us nothing. What kind of place is this? It’s crowded. We’re here. Mister, [Grand Opening Sale] let’s put aside the lucky draw for now. Tell me your wish first.
I wish to get a washing machine. A washing machine? That’s right. Do you have many family members and plenty of clothes to wash? That’s right. I’m sure you have a thriving family and have plenty of children and grandchildren. That’s right. Since you’re so fortunate, I’m sure you must be very lucky.
Let us give this old mister our blessings. Let’s hope he can achieve his wish. What do you guys think? -Great! -Sure! Is that even Shiyin? Okay, draw your lot. Yeah. This child doesn’t behave like this usually. We spoiled her rotten at home. Actually, Shiyin is pretty amazing. She’s performing very well
-considering it’s her first time doing it. -But… you will get another chance in the future. Mister, Madam. Thank you for your participation. I’m sure you two are most concerned about Shiyin. This time, she isn’t being willful. She’s serious about it. One at a time! Did I get the prize? Sunian, this is your first time here, right? Actually, it’s my first time here as well. Actually, I was pretty afraid. I was afraid that I might have become dumber and uglier. What should I do if I didn’t live up to Ms. Jin Ning’s expectations?
If I were as exceptional as you, I’m sure I can visit Ms. Jin Ning with my head held high. Let’s go. Sunian, it’s over here. [Grave of Ms. Jin Ning] Ms. Jin Ning, Sunian and I are here to visit you. Ms. Jin Ning, these are your favorite cakes and flowers.
Sunian bought all of these especially for you. Ms. Jin Ning, I’ve finished all the books you gave me. Now, my English result is very stable. I almost got a full score for every subject except for the essays. I’m amazing, right? Shiyin has taken up broadcasting. In the future, she’ll be a famous host.
If you were still around, I’m sure you’ll watch her show every day. By the way, Siyuan and Qiaomu have become a couple. Oh, I forgot the main point. Sunian is studying arts now. He’s trying to get into the Academy of Fine Arts. He’s determined to complete the drawings you couldn’t complete.
I think this is a tough task to complete. But I think Sunian can surely do it. Ms. Jin Ning, I’m sure you think I’m too talkative for you. Why don’t I ask Sunian to speak with you? Don’t leave! I don’t know what to say. Ever since she was hospitalized,
I was so afraid that I had to stay behind my father. I only dared to speak when she spoke to me. On the day she left, I actually had plenty of things I wanted to tell her. I wish to tell her that I loved her and I admired her. I feel very proud
Whenever I call her Mom. But I told her nothing. I just looked at her. I didn’t say a word. She asked my father a question. She thought I was afraid of her because of her hideous looks. I wish to tell her that it wasn’t the case. It wasn’t the case at all.
I was just afraid. The way she looked at me was filled with regret and distress. From her eyes, I could tell that she was wondering how I could cope after she passed away? Xue, I regret my decision! I regret that I didn’t tell her how I felt when she was still alive.
I regret that I didn’t hug her and tell her, “Mom, I do love you very much. You’re not scary at all. You’ve always been the mother whom I admired the most.” But I told her nothing. Now, she’s gone. It’s useless for me to say all of these in front of her grave.
She can’t hear me anyway. Sunian, that’s not true. As long as they’re your heartfelt words, I’m sure Ms. Jin Ning can hear you. Mom, I won’t disappoint you. Ms. Jin Ning, please give Sunian your blessings. Please wish for his success on the art exam, NCEE, and everything else. Shiyin.
What did your parents say? They agreed to it. This is great. You’re great at this. I’m sure everyone will like you when they see you on TV. Alright then. If there’s nothing else, I’ll return home first. Goodbye. Wait. [Liuli Hutong] Is there anything else? Just tell me if you need anything. Thank you.
Thank you, Wu Huan. See you. [Xiaoyao Pavillion] [*”Xiaoyao” means “carefree”] Your drawing is pretty good. You’re the student of the master indeed. Maybe I’m not gifted at all. If I can’t get into the Academy of Fine Arts by this year, I’ll find myself a job. Why don’t you try enrolling in another academy?
You don’t understand. When you truly like one thing, it’s impossible for you to compromise. Just like women. Even if I can’t marry you, I still love you. Even if I do marry another woman, I will be unsatisfied. You’re still young. You’ll understand when you grow up. ♪Still♪ ♪Still the youngster from the past♪

‘It will be long before we can meet again after we part ways. [Bells Ringing in the Rain, Liu Yong, Song Dynasty] Fine moments and beautiful scenes will mean nothing to me. Though I have a thousand amorous feelings to confide, [Sunian, you can do it] no sympathetic ear can I find’.

[Traditional Chinese Painting, Zheng Sunian] Did Sunian receive his admission notice? Yeah. Now, everyone else can let out a sigh of relief. This child is exceptional. It’s hard to get into that academy. But he did it anyway. He suffered a lot for it. There were plenty of medicinal patches on his arms and shoulders.
Zheng said it was the effect of practicing his drawing 24/7. I think he didn’t suffer for nothing since he got into the academy. Only Xue is left. You’re only nervous by now? Sunian! Mr. Zheng! Sunian! Sunian! What’s the matter? Sunian, our hairdryer is broken. Can I borrow your hairdryer? Come in. Sunian,
Where’s Mr. Zheng? He went out to buy breakfast. Next time, don’t go outside when your hair is wet. It’s because my hairdryer is broken. Let me do it. Let me blow your hair dry. It’s okay. I can do it myself. The electricity will leak as it hasn’t been used for a while.
It’s the same no matter who does it. I can block the current with my hand. That won’t do. Electrifying my head is a better option. You need to use your hands to draw. Turn over. And here. This part is wet. It’s almost done. I think it’s okay now. Sunian, I’ll leave now.
No. It’s not dry yet. You’ll catch a cold. Sunian, I have something to discuss with you. What’s the matter? Can you trim your bangs just a little bit? Why? It’s too long. It’s blocking your eyes. You shouldn’t let it block your beautiful eyes. Sunian, time for breakfast. Mr. Zheng, you’re back? Xue?
Have you taken breakfast yet? Not yet. Great timing. You can share them with Sunian. If this is not enough, I think there are some biscuits over there. Mr. Zheng, aren’t you going to join us? I’ll take breakfast on my way to work. I have to go. It’s time to work. Goodbye, Mr. Zheng.
Goodbye. Xue, accompany me to buy some fruits later. Sure. I need to send some fruits to Mr. Luo. I managed to get into the Academy of Fine Arts thanks to his guidance. What do you wish to eat? I’ll buy some for you too. Bananas, apples, pears, strawberries, oranges! Let’s finish our breakfast
And buy them! Okay. Mr. Qian, seems like your shop is fancier right now. Didn’t you only sell apples and pears in the past? Look at all the fruits you have right now. People strive to improve themselves, right? I’ve purchased some high-quality fruits too. How much does a box of cherries cost?
Usually, it’s 80 yuan. But I’ll sell it to you for 60. 60? This is daylight robbery! These are just big cherries. Who are you trying to fool? Mr. Qian, get me two boxes of them. Alright. Wait! I would rather swallow the money directly. It’s my treat. Why are you being stingy?
Even so, it’s still your money. You need to save your money. You’ll have to spend a lot when you’re studying in the future. Forget it. How about this? You guys can have one for free. What do you think? Isn’t it sweet? It’s pretty sweet. It’s sweet and delicious.
Since it’s delicious, you should buy some. No, thanks. Well, that was a waste. Why didn’t you guys invite me? I’m going to visit Mr. Luo later. I’m buying some fruits for him. Seems like no one else will remember me after we get into college. Goodbye. What do you want? Pick anything.
It’s my treat. If so, I want 10 boxes of cherries. Alright. Wait a minute! 10 boxes? Are you taking a bath with them? It’s Sunian’s treat anyway. You! So are you guys buying it or not? Can you guys make a decision? No, we’re not buying them. Mr. Qian, you opened a stall?
Ms. Deng. You guys are here too? Aren’t you setting up your stall today? I have to return to my hometown. But why? My son is getting married. I’m returning to help him out. If so, when will you come back? I’m not coming back. You’re not coming back? We had the roujiamo you made
Since we were little. Where should we get them when you’re not coming back? She’s right, Ms. Deng. When I hear that from you, I guess I didn’t spend the past decade selling roujiamo in vain. Ms. Deng, please take care of yourself. We will miss you. You guys should also be obedient
And take good care of yourselves. I still need to catch my train. See you. Goodbye, Ms. Deng. Goodbye. Ms. Deng, have a safe trip. Okay, goodbye. See you guys. Have a safe trip. Ms. Deng is leaving. There’s no roujiamo for us now. Mr. Qian, when are you leaving?
Thank you for nothing. Can’t you say something good for once? Besides, if I leave and close the shop, who will act as his substitute father when he fails his exam? Where can you stay and cry when you’re upset? How can you coax her when she doesn’t have a chance to cry?
I’m pretty important, you know? How about this? Today, I’ll forget about my profit. You guys can have this box of kumquat on the house. I wish you guys academic success. Remember, no matter how far you guys go, you’ll find me as long as you’re back here. Take it. Mr. Qian, you’re something else.
Hey, don’t you guys want to know more about the cherries? [Corner Sundry Shop] Is this all you’re going to bring? Two luggage bags are barely enough for me to fit all of my stuff. I’ll be studying in Beijing. You’re going to a new place. Of course, you’ll have to bring plenty of stuff.
But you’re bringing too much stuff. I’ve collected a lot of comic books and games before this. Now that I have the time, of course, I need to bring them with me. You’re heading to USTC. I heard that life there is just like life in our senior year. You don’t have time for entertainment.
I’m different from them. That’s right. You’re thick-skinned. Xue, hurry up! It’s your first day as a senior year student. You mustn’t be late. Xue, hurry up! Aren’t you going to eat? I’m heading to Sunian’s place. He’s attending college for the first time today. I’ll see him off. I’ll come back for breakfast later.
Hurry up! Don’t be late! Take this with you. Dad, it’s almost fall season now. There aren’t that many mosquitoes. There are. Hello, Mr. Zheng. Xue. Sunian! Why are you here? I slept here last night. Since I was going to leave soon, I came here to talk about life with Sunian.
So what did you get out of your chat? Nothing. I was guarding against him the entire night just in case he was up to something funny. Why are you so serious? Sunian. Here’s a gift to celebrate the start of your college life. Thanks. You can have yours as well.
His gift is so big. Why is mine so small? I’m going to another state, you know? He’s still within the 5th Ring Road. It’s easier for you to carry it around since you’re going to another state. Enough with the excuses. From now on, we’ll just be normal friends.
Can’t you just take pity on me? One of you is entering the Academy of Fine Arts while the other is entering USTC. My mother has been reprimanding me throughout the entire summer break. And I had spent all of my pocket money as well. You can have this as well.
You should drink more and grow stronger. You have such a potty mouth. I’m sure someone will beat you up someday. I’m running out of time. I’ll leave first. I wish you two a safe journey. Goodbye. -What a heartless girl. -Mr. Zheng, I’ll make a move first. You should leave too. I thought
You had a plane to catch tonight? You’re so heartless. Fine then. I stayed up all night to guard against you just in case you were up to something funny. I’ll get some sleep first. Go now. Sunian, I’ll leave Xue to you now. Don’t make me worry. Rest assured. See you during winter break.
Mr. Zheng, I shall make a move now. Goodbye. Zhang Qi, you better study hard! Stop playing video games! You’ll be late if you don’t pick up the pace. [To Sunian, the best person in the world, from Shao Xue] This gift is pretty exquisite. Let me see what else you haven’t packed.
Dad, let me do it. Let me do it. Don’t forget your things. Let’s go. Dad. You shouldn’t buy instant noodles in the future. You should eat outside if you have no time to cook. [Beijing Instant Noodles] Mainly, it saves me a lot of trouble. I’m staying alone.
I don’t wish to go through all the trouble just to eat. I don’t know what to buy for you. Anyway, you should keep this money. No. Take it. Put it in your pocket. Don’t lose it. I’ll call a cab for you. Dad, no need for that. I can take the bus. Alright then.
Be careful, okay? Dad, I’ll make a move now. See you, Dad. Why are you here? Are you here to find me? Are you here to keep me company? Let me give you a scratch. Are you here to keep me company? Mom, you should let me make breakfast in the future.
You’re already in your senior year. You should spend more effort on your studies. Mom, I wish to discuss something with you. What is it? I don’t plan to continue my studies. But why? If it’s about the fees, I’ll think of something. It’s not that. I’m just not capable enough.
Moreover, it’s easier for me to find a job without the pressure to study. But how could you get yourself a good job without getting into college? Mom, don’t worry. Many companies are trying to recruit me right now. Really? Really. You should eat up. Huanhuan. Your birthday will arrive in a few days.
You should invite your friends over. I’ll treat them to a meal. Mom, I think I’ll skip the celebration. Are you afraid that they might see me in this sorry state? Of course, not. Zhang Qi and Sunian have gone to their respective colleges. As for the others, they’re busy with the NCEE.
They don’t have time. You can give it a try. By the way, the girl whom you always mentioned, her name is Lin Shiyin, right? I have never seen her before. Why don’t you invite her? This is your 18th birthday. You need to celebrate it somehow. Just treat this as my wish, okay? Mom.
What’s so important that we can’t talk about it in the classroom? Shiyin, can you come to my house two days later? I’m celebrating my birthday. And it’s my 18th birthday. [Qiming High School] My mother wishes to celebrate it for me. Sure. I’ll tell Xue about it. Don’t do that. I…
I only invited you. But why? It’s awkward to go there alone. I… I… Fine, I’ll go. Okay, I’ll wait for you then. [Welcome, new students] ♪The bicycle bell rings and takes me back to the alley I saw in my dream♪ ♪I invite the sunlight to traverse the morning fog and breeze with me♪

Come on, help me out. Hurry! Push it inside. Okay. Please put this up as well. Thanks. Come. Push it to the side. Not bad at all. Seems like you’ve trained your body.

Please take good care of me in the future. What about you guys? I’m Zheng Sunian from the Chinese painting department. I’m Bai Yunsheng from the accessory design department. Is that all? You two are something else. Seems like you two don’t speak much. My brothers, listen up.
Come here. We’re already in college right now. You guys should act more lively. Am I right? By the way, I’m treating my senior to dinner tonight. Why don’t you guys join me? I may not be able to join you. I have to wait for a call. A call? From who? My girlfriend.
