The Starry Night, The Starry Sea
- Episode 12 -
Jiang Yisheng, what is the meaning of this?
You know that I've liked Xiao Luo for so many years. Let's forget the fact that you're not helping me,
but you dare to help Wu Julan pursue her?
Do you treat me as a brother?
It's clear that Xiao Luo doesn't like you!
A forcibly taken melon isn't sweet. Why be so stubborn?
Besides,
I think Wu Julan is a pretty good person. He's sincere towards Xiao Luo, too.
We should bless them!
We can't let Xiao Luo be single for life!
- Big brother!- I--!
Big brother, where did you go?
I've been looking all over for you!
Big brother!
You--! What are you guys doing?
- Big brother! Wait for me!- Let's go.
Xiao Luo! Xiao Luo!
You can't see me! You can't see me!
You can't see me! You can't see me! You can't see me!
You can't see me! You can't see me!
Come out. I can see you.
Can't you pretend you didn't see me?
I don't want to see anyone right now.
I have something I wasn't finished saying yet.
You're not allowed to say it!
Shen Luo, I like you.
Starting from today, I am going to officially pursue you.
I hope that you can properly think it over.
What's there to think about?
Wu Julan, listen to me. You're just temporarily being misled by a illusion that has shielded your eyes from the truth.
You don't really like me!
Look at me. I'm so plain and a scrooge!
I have such a bad temper, too. What's there for you to like?
Do you really think that?
Believe me. You'll wake up before long.
I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
You say that you're plain, but I find your appearance very soothing to the eyes.
Your temper isn't that great, but I'm very calm.
We're a perfect match.
As for being a scrooge, I think that it's good. You can help me take care of the house that way.
You're being ridiculous!
In any case, I won't like you. Just give up!
The wind is picking up. Let's go home.
If you faint from the cold here, it'd be the perfect chance for me to carry you back.
In your dreams! Don't come near me.
Don't get so close to me!
Big Brother!
Slow down, Big Brother!
I can't keep up!
Big Brother! Wait for me! Stop, Zhou Buwen!
What is it?
You're asking me? Why are you going so fast?
Are you keeping something from me?
Is it because of that Shen Luo again?
Is it? Saying something, Big Brother! Say something!
Enough!
I'm telling you, stop interfering with my matters from now on.
Zhou Buwen, stop right there!
Actually, when you were arguing with Zhou Buwen just now,
it was quite manly.
Really?
All the words I said were from my heart.
I'm helping Wu Julan entirely for Xiao Luo's happiness.
If one day, Wu Julan dares to wrong Xiao Luo,
I'll be the first to show no mercy!
Of course,
if, at the same time as settling Xiao Luo's happiness,
I can also settle my own life's happiness, then that would be even better!
Sorry. You're not my type.
Impossible! I'm so handsome!
Then, what is your type?
Got it!
Xiao Luo! Ever since I met you,
I haven't been able to accept any other woman in my eyes!
I cannot lose you!
Wu Julan! Please don't say any more!
I also know that I'm too attractive.
Regular people can't resist.
It's such a shame, we have no fate.
Wu Julan, forget me.
Xiao Luo! Please don't throw me away! I'm begging you!
Wu Julan! Let go of me!
It is very hard to find a woman as amazing as me,
but a woman who is a bit lower in level than me will do, too.
Young people have to have hope in life!
Eat something. You should be tired from all that acting.
Let me die!
I didn't now someone was inside.
I'm done.
I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything.
Why am I so unlucky?
I came to get my button.
I don't believe that I can't subdue you, Wu Liangliang!
Don't be rash, let's talk it over!
Jiang Yisheng, you've really taken bravery medicine!
You dare to plot against me with an outsider?
How should I get revenge on you?
Why do you have to put it like that?
You were playing quite happily!
Which of your eyes saw me playing happily?
If you say any more nonsense, watch out, because I'll hit you!
I saw wrong, I saw wrong!
You weren't happy, okay?
It's all your fault for making Wu Julan have other thoughts about me!
I have so many troubles now!
I don't care! You must find a way to get Wu Julan away from me.
Do you hear me?
I can't do it!
You... If you really don't like Wu Julan,
then take action and make him give up!
- Take action?- Yes!
Don't miss out!
It's all natural and all made by hand; a flawless green necklace made of seashells!
Is anyone interested? It's only ¥9.90!
It's only ¥9.90!
- Pretty lady, want to buy one?- No, no.
- Pretty lady, have one!- No, thank you.
Mr. Handsome! Can I... take a picture with you?
Ask her. If she agrees, then it's okay.
Okay! Hello!
My friend and I want to take a picture with him.
Can we?
A picture? Of course!
But you have to buy something from me first.
- No problem! I'll go call my friend right now!- Hurry and go!
Wu Julan, I'm not just a scrooge.
To earn money, I've even betrayed your body.
Do you still like this sort of me?
Earning money to support the family was always something that a man should do.
Don't rush, don't rush! Take it slowly!
Line up, line up! Don't rush!
Everyone can get a picture!
Move aside, move aside! Move aside!
- What is this?- That's right!
I'm buying ten necklaces! I want to take a picture first!
No problem!
If you dare to tell anyone about what just happened...
that will be your ending.
I won't tell.
At least you're tactful!
But whether or not those girls will tell others about it,
I can't guarantee.
Big Brother!
Big Brother, your phone! Big Brother?
Hello?
Hello. This is the island bar.
I want to check if your reservation today has changed or not.
If there are no changes, we'll begin preparing.
Big Brother must want to give me a surprise!
Jiang Yisheng?
What are you doing?
How is it? Am I very handsome?
I know! You like this style.
Is there any sign of being helpless due to love?
Who told you I like this style?
Wasn't your ex-boyfriend like this?
Let me tell you! I hate it most when men wear black clothes!
Get lost before I lose my appetite!
No, no! Do I not look like him at all?
No matter what, there's a little bit of spiritual resemblance, right?
I'm leaving. I'll disappear.
I'll disappear right now!
Xiao Luo. Xiao Luo?
Da Tou, you've come?
Xiao Luo, I came to ask you to dinner.
Right now?
If you're busy today, tomorrow will do, too. Or the day after!
As long as you're willing, I'll wait every day.
I was about to go out, too.
Okay!
Let's go!
It's just dinner. There's no need for such a fuss, is there?
Xiao Luo, there's are some things
that can only be said under a romantic atmosphere.
Do you remember the words I said when I first left the island?
I've forgotten everything from childhood.
I remember that I kept waiting for you.
Unfortunately, you didn't come in the end.
Xiao Luo, actually for all these years,
my heart has always been--
Da Tou! I-I want to go to the restroom.
I'll be right back!
I...
Did I tell you to stop?
[Zhou Buyan]
Brother is definitely trying to keep me in suspense.
Jiang Yisheng, what are you doing?
I was going to ask you what you're doing.
Since you came, why didn't you go to see Da Tou off?
There's some words that if I said them to his face, it'd make his heart feel even worse.
I just shouldn't go.
Jiang Yisheng, go tell Da Tou,
that I, Shen Luo, will treat him as a good friend for life!
Okay!
Why does Da Tou still remember that?
Why is it so eerie?
Both of them are like that! Was it all planned?
Xiao Luo, actually in my heart--
Big Brother!
Have you waited for a while?
No--! Why have you come?
Stop acting! I know!
Stop it. What do you know?
To make up for leaving me behind at the temple fair,
you prepared this surprise for me, right?
- Go, go, go!- Mr. Zhou!
Here are the champagne and flowers you wanted.
Wow! Big Brother, is this for me?
Thank you!
It's so pretty!
Xiao Luo, let me explain!
Shen Luo? Why are you here? What a party pooper!
That's right, why am I here?
Zhou Buyan, let me tell you.
The champagne and flowers are for Xiao Luo. It has nothing to do with you.
Xiao Luo--
No! What are you talking about?
Look at how lame she is!
- She doesn't match the champagne and the flowers!- Zhou Buyan!
No! What are you panicking for? I'm not wrong!
Please! Can't you take a look in the mirror when you leave the house?
Look at what you're wearing!
Zhou Buyan, shut up!
She's right! Buyan is right!
I am lame and poor. I don't match the atmosphere here.
After some thought, I think that I should leave first. Bye-bye!
- Goodbye!- Xiao Luo!
Just let her go if she wants to go!
Big Brother!
Xiao Luo! Xiao Luo!
Xiao Luo, wait!
Buyan is still young and spoiled. Don't take her words to heart.
No, I really don't mind.
I still have things to do at home. I'll leave first.
Xiao Luo! I wasn't done talking yet.
I know what you want to say.
You don't need to say it. We're not suited to be together.
Then are you suited to be with Wu Julan?
He's just an impoverished poor guy, what can he offer you?
But I'm different! I'm rich now!
I can give you a happy life. I can give you everything!
You don't need to suffer any more. You don't need to be the subject of people's jokes!
Da Tou, do you not understand?
You and I aren't meant to walk the same path. You don't know what I want at all.
I don't think that my life is full of suffering at all.
I don't feel sad if people laugh at me for being poor either.
I remember what happened when we were kids.
No matter if it was in the past or now, my feelings haven't changed.
I cannot accept your feelings.
Wu Julan must have muddled your brain!
Wake up! You must believe me!
I'm the one that's best for you!
-Zhou Buwen, let go.- No!
- Let go!- Wake up!
Let go, let go!
I'm the one that's best for you--!
This is between Xiao Luo and I. It has nothing to do with you!
I like Shen Luo. Do you think it has nothing to do with me?
You don't know your own limits!
The one who doesn't know their own limits is you.
What did you say?
This person, Shen Luo, although she's a little stingy, and likes to scream out that she's poor--
How can you belittle me?
--she's not a money lover. She's the opposite.
It's because she favors emotions too much and is afraid others will see.
That's why all day long she pretends to be stingy, so that people will stay away from her.
Isn't that right?
You don't even know what sort of person Shen Luo is.
And you say you like her? Aren't you unaware of your own limits?
Let's just see who doesn't know their own limits!
Alright! Alright! Stop quarreling or I'll be mad!
Da Tou, I've said what I need to.
I hope that you can respect my choice.
Wu Julan, let's go back.
Let's go! Go!
Go!
You must not misunderstand what happened just now.
I didn't reject Zhou Buwen because of you.
I'll be honest with you. I won't accept you or Zhou Buwen.
Because I don't believe in love.
Why don't you believe in love?
As far back as my memory goes, my parents were always fighting.
When the anger got to their heads, all sorts of harsh words came out of their mouths.
Later, in order to get a divorce, they ended up in court.
So, love and marriage
are all like pretty bubbles that pop easily.
People should just depend on themselves.
Why waste time on affairs of the heart?
In any case, just give up.
Are you done talking?
- So you are a coward.- Who are you calling a coward?
Because you're afraid of getting hurt, you don't dare to try things you've never been through before.
Aren't you a coward?
What nonsense!
♫ Love is not possessive, love never holds back ♫
Do you dare to try it out with me?
♫ I am satisfied ♫
♫ I'm willing to waitl ♫
Talking to you is useless!
♫ Maybe one day, I can finally stay with you forever ♫
Let me ask you! You gave Shen Luo champagne and flowers today!
- What is the meaning of that?- What is the meaning of it? Of course, it means that I like her!
I don't believe you! Are you saying that to anger me on purpose?
Zhou Buyan, are you stupid?
Everyone can tell that I like Shen Luo. You're the only one who can't!
Let me ask you. Based on what did you say that about her today?
What right do you have to say that about her?
You bastard!
[An Zuo]
Buyan, wait, don't drink anymore!
- I want to drink!- Stop drinking!
Don't bother with me!
What are you doing?
Did Da Tou bully you again?
It's not his fault. It's Shen Luo's fault!
What's so great about Shen Luo?
Why does Big Brother always stand on her side?
Look at me!
Let me ask you! Am I prettier, or is Shen Luo?
Say something! Look at me!
You're prettier than anyone else.
Really?
Really.
You're great!
Come! I'll treat you to wine!
- Give me the wine!- Stop drinking!
I want to drink!
Stop drinking! I'll get angry if you keep drinking.
You have to let me drink because you said I'm pretty!
I'll drink in your place.
You have to let me drink because I'm happy!
As long as you're happy, anything is okay.
You're the prettiest.
Boss An, you were looking for me?
I need the past thirty years worth of death records from the island's hospital.
Death records?
That's right. Make it fast.
Thirty years? That's a bit long.
Boss An, can you give me a hint?
- For example, male or female--- Zhou Buwen,
didn't I remind you before,
that smart alecks don't tend to live long?
How could I dare to do that? I just wanted to shrink my search boundaries so I can look faster.
I don't think you'd dare to. Hurry up and go.
Okay, I'll be going then.
Sir, are you lost? Do you need help?
I'll have to trouble you.
Did you come on vacation? I don't think I've seen you before.
I just moved to the island. Today was the first day I came outside. But in the end, I couldn't find my way back.
You came to live on the island?
You found the right place!
Although our island isn't that big, it is still free from pollution all year round.
What's most important is that the seafood is delicious and all the folks here are warm and hospitable.
You will definitely like this place.
I will be looking forward to that day.
Believe in me!
Shen Luo is just coming back a bit late from buying groceries!
She must have lost track of time after seeing a big sale somewhere!
She's fine! Don't scare yourselves!
Hey!
I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling.
What is this?
Shen Luo's vegetable basket?
Oh no! If she didn't bring along her vegetable basket, she must be in trouble!
Has there been any action from the Black Wizard?
You're suspecting An Zuo? Impossible, he's already left the island.
You're sure that he didn't come back again?
I'm sure. If he came back, I'd definitely know.
You didn't pick up the phone for two days. If you want to break up, then just say it.
What's wrong?
Liangliang, my father is dead.
What did you say?
Father has been sick for a long time.
But he never told me because he was afraid I'd worry.
It's all my fault. I got him killed.
An Zuo! You weren't wrong. Please don't think that way.
If Uncle knew that you were in so much pain because of this
and blamed yourself so much, he'd be sad.
Time will heal all wounds. Everything will get better.
What is this?
I had no other choice.
I've done everything to resurrect my father.
So you joined the Black Wizards?
This is only temporary!
After I find the mermaid's spiritual pearl
and resurrect Father, I will leave the group.
You know that our family has protected mermaids for generations!
If you want to steal a mermaid's spiritual pearl, then you're making me your enemy!
You've never even seen a mermaid! Why must you protect them?
Father is the only different one.
You know it, too. When I had no other path to take,
he took me in. He gave me a new life.
If there was no Father, there'd be no An Zuo.
Liangliang! I know you love me!
I'm begging you. Help me just once, okay?
How could you be so selfish?
How could you ask me to betray my family for you?
Are you going to choose to make me your enemy?
Since you've made up your mind,
then let's break up.
It's been so long. You've finally come on your own accord to find me.
You came looking for me to fight?
I warned you not to come back again!
- I couldn't bear to leave you.- Shut up!
There's nothing between us any more!
You're in such a rush to cut ties with me?
Don't you want to know where Shen Luo is?
Where is Shen Luo?
You guys value Shen Luo so much because she is Du Xiaolin's descendant.
Cut the crap! Hand her over!
It's a shame. She's not in my hands.
- Yisheng!- Da Tou!
What's wrong? Where did Xiao Luo go?
Xiao Luo has gone missing! We can't find her!
Honestly... then she probably went off with Wu Julan.
What time is it now, can't you put down your feelings down for now?
Find Xiao Luo first!
- She's really gone?- She's really gone!
Hurry and think. Who does Xiao Luo have a grudge against on the island?
I remember. I still have some business things to do.
I'm going. Continue looking. Let me know when you find her!
Da Tou! What time is it now, you're still thinking about earning money?
You're being too disloyal!
She was grocery shopping just fine!
Why did you abduct her?
Why do you care?
Fine, fine, fine, I don't care. But there's something I need to remind you about.
Once the tide rises and this house is filled with water,
there won't be much time left. What do you want to do?
Stop bothering me! Otherwise, I really can't think of anything!
Fine, I won't bother you.
That's more like it.
Don't worry! I will give you the money.
Besides, could she recognize us with our faces covered?
She can... She can't!
Zhu Yiyang, Zhou Buyan, what have you done to me?
I'm not Zhu Yiyang. I'm Gou Yiyang.
She's Zhu Yiyang.
Cut it out, your gold chain has betrayed you.
That's not a gold chain, it's a dog chain!
Aiya! Look at you! You're really as stupid as a pig!(Zhu Yiyang=Just like a pig)
She recognized us already, so stop hiding!
Enough! We were the ones that abducted you. So what?
Let me tell you, Shen Luo. Who told you to seduce my brother?
The two of us are going to teach you a lesson today!
Help! Help!
I'm begging you, spare me!
No!
Stinky Shen Luo, let me ask you. Do you still dare to seduce my big brother?
I... I...!
Have you gotten things wrong? I'm not interested in Zhou Buwen at all!
You answered so cleanly? There must be a problem!
Zhu Yiyang, go!
Don't!
I've already said it many times! I'm not interested in Zhou Buwen at all!
What are you doing?
Buyan, I think she's telling the truth.
- Let her go.- Shut up.
Shen Luo,
don't think that I don't know what you're up to.
You definitely want me to let you go first,
and then continue seducing my big brother, right?
No, no, no!
You admitted it! Do you think I'm stupid?
Attack!
No! Help!
What are you two looking at me for? I'm not the hungry one.
It's me, it's me! I'm very hungry. Let's go eat?
I see the two of you must be hungry. Let's eat something first before further interrogation, okay?
Shut up!
Shen Luo, I'm telling you. I'm holding you hostage right now.
Still want to have some food? No way!
Zhu Yiyang, let's go! Let's go eat!
No!
Play by yourself!
Don't go! Don't go!
Don't leave me here alone!
Xiao Luo!
What are you doing, scaring me out of nowhere?
I'm sorry, pretty lady. My friend mistook you for someone else.
- He mistook you for someone else.- It's okay.
Pretty lady, you really look a lot like our friend from behind!
Wu Julan!
Oh great.
Xiao Luo hasn't even been found yet, and Wu Julan has been lost, too!
Wu Julan!
Help! Can someone help me?
Help! Help!
Why are they playing with me like this?
Zhu Yiyang, Zhou Buyan!
Do you two really want me to die here?
Xiao Luo, where are you?
Xiao Luo!
Help! Help!
