[Shen Luo's medical records]
"Shen Luo. Patient was drowning. Rescue was in vain. Respiratory failure led to death."
The only thing that can resurrect someone
is the merpeople's spiritual pearl.
This Wu Julan. I wonder what caused him to be out of his mind.
I gave him so much face and asked him to go dancing!
But he dared to say that he wouldn't go!
Don't you think this shows his failure to appreciate my thoughtfulness?
I say, Xiao Luo.
You don't have to be so thirsty, right?
I am very thirsty!
Did I help Wu Julan too much?
A silly girl like Xiao Luo who doesn't believe in love
got tortured by us to this extent!
Wu Julan! Why don't you care about me?
Can't you tell that I'm trying to attract your attention?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry, please sit down first.- Okay.
Okay, stop drinking. Enough, stop drinking!
You're not allowed to drink anymore!
Stop drinking!
Da Tou? Why are you here?
Xiao Luo, you're drunk. I'll take you home.
I don't need you to take me!
Go! Go tell Wu Julan to come and bring me home!
Da Tou, she's drunk. It's drunk talk, don't bother with her.
Um... enough, enough, stop drinking!
I'll take you back!
Don't worry, I'll take her.
Come on, let's go home! It's okay, you get busy!
Slowly!
Go tell Wu Julan to come and get me!
Enough!
Regulus, I've been thinking these few days.
But I still think that you should protect your own life first.
As for Shen Luo, we'll think of something else.
For over a millennium, just as the moon waxed and waned and the tide ebbed and flowed,
life has been, to me, merely a process that runs in full circle, like a natural phenomenon.
I've already grown tired of it.
But to allow you to continue living on,
is our family's responsibility throughout the generations!
My life isn't your responsibility.
I request that all of you to stop being pointlessly persistent.
I need to leave.
Wait.
Today, the hospital suddenly lost death records from the past thirty years.
Shen Luo's death certificate is among those records.
Can't you drink less? Really...
Wu Julan! Where are you?
- I'm here!- Stop yelling!
There are so many people on the street! You're so embarrassing!
Wu Julan! Why is my head
so full of you? My head is full of you!
Stop yelling! Are you going to continue yelling?
If you won't yell, then I'll let go.
You're not allowed to yell.
You don't need to take me. I can go home alone.
Really?
Do I look like I can't?
Um... then go slowly.
Wu Julan! Wu Julan! Where are you?
I'm looking for you, Wu Julan!
Where are you, Wu Julan?
I really wonder if you're a monster!
What's wrong?
Wu Julan! I really suspect that you're a monster!
If you weren't,
why are you always running around in my head?
Tell me! What are you trying to do?
You're drunk.
You are a bothersome and annoying evil spirit.
All day, you just keep teasing me.
I just don't believe that I can't subdue you.
Xiao Luo?
Wu Julan! Don't go! Stay with me!
Don't be like this! Don't be like this!
- Let go!- I won't!
You are a bothersome and annoying evil spirit. Today, you won't be able to escape from me.
Wu Julan! You bastard!
Wu Julan! You dare to take advatage of me and do that sort of thing?
You haven't brushed your teeth yet?
You can take advantage of me while I'm drunk? You're not a human, you're a monster!
I'll go get a toothbrush for you.
Don't think of slipping out! No way!
Let me tell you! You have to tell me everything today!
What have you actually done to me? Tell me the details!
Who? Who did this sort of thing to you?
You're mine! Tell me! I'll go teach her a lesson!
You are a bothersome and annoying evil spirit. Today, you won't be able to escape from me.
I'm a bit dizzy. I'm going to rest now.
Xiao Luo, you're drunk. I'll take you home.
I don't need you to take me!
Go! Go tell Wu Julan to come and take me home!
What are you thinking about?
Nothing.
I'm thinking about how to obtain a treasure that I want.
Don't think too much about it.
Because the treasure you want most is me!
You've been here for a while.
Tell Dad that you'll be going back in a few days.
You're kicking me out?
No. I'm just too busy with work, so I don't have time to take care of you.
It's okay!
I can stay by myself, Big Brother!
Don't kick me out! Don't kick me out!
Get up!
Why are you drinking? Who bullied you?
- Stop drinking!- It's my brother!
Has he taken medicine to make him especially daring?
I'll go teach him a lesson! You just wait!
Come back! Sit down!
You're not allowed to bully him, got it?
No! What did Da Tou do to you?
He wants to make me go home!
I'll be the first to be against that!
Sit down! Come back! I already told my dad.
He said I can stay for a bit longer.
Then isn't it okay?
Are you stupid?!
The important thing is--! The important thing is that I like my Big Brother so much,
but he wants to kick me out!
This matter--!
Enough, enough. Stop crying.
You don't understand!
Stop drinking! What is a girl doing drinking so much wine?
You can't drink if there isn't any.
I know that when a person
shows their feelings to someone, but the other person doesn't realize them,
their heart feels awful!
I understand this feeling especially well! Because I have this feeling!
- Do you understand?- You don't understand!
How could I not understand? You're the one that doesn't!
You just don't understand!
Okay, I don't understand!
Xiao Luo!
Da Tou? Why have you come?
Xiao Luo, I can't come looking for you for no reason?
Come. I heard that a movie is getting released today.
It's called 'The Danish Girl.' Looks quite interesting. Let's go and watch it tonight.
That's a romance movie.
I don't like watching romance movies. I like watching action movies.
Action movies? There are action movies!
Look. This one is an action movie.
The ratings are really high! Let's go.
But I still have a lot of things to do today.
What is it? Just tell Wu Julan to do it!
Look, I already bought tickets.
Wu Julan... Wu Julan, he...
Xiao Luo.
A customer put in a big order. We have to head out.
We have to go and pick seashells.
Da Tou, I don't have time to spend with you!
Tell Jiang Yisheng to go watch the movie with you!
That way, we can prevent him from harming other girls.
I--!
Do you have time?
You only know how to eat!
Da Tou and I have been friends since we were in diapers! We're just friends.
I know.
He definitely asked me to watch a movie out of friendship, you know?
I don't care about that. You don't need to explain it to me.
That's right. Why do I need to explain these things to him?
He doesn't care about this stuff. Why doesn't he care?
Stop!
Although this kind of drug can help the secretion of adrenaline within a short time,
and make your heart rate and blood flow increase,
to increase your body's power,
it will also drain all of your energy within a short amount of time.
When that time comes, you'll become even weaker.
The spiritual pearl is already in my body. No one can take it away!
Get in the car!
Hurry!
The hospital suddenly lost thirty years worth of medical records.
Shen Luo's death certificate is among those records.
I suspect that this has to do with the Black Wizard.
They probably will find out very soon about Shen Luo's drowning incident from back then.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Liangliang, I knew you'd come to save me.
You've overthought things. I just happened to pass by.
Liangliang, in these years,
we've worked hard to forget each other.
But actually, we've been deeply engraved in each other's hearts.
Even if it was engraved in our hearts, it was also the ugliest scar.
It's been so many years.
This scar has never healed.
It's always been painfully dripping blood.
Even if it hurts more, I definitely will not betray my family.
You are unlikely to win against Wu Julan in your battle with him.
Go back after your injury heals.
Liangliang! Liangliang?
Liangliang, I've brought you your favorite food, some Cantonese dim sum (light snacks).
Let's eat it together!
Let's go eat outside.
Why do we have to eat outside?
The house is very good. Cozy and warm.
Wait! Let's go outside to eat.
Cozy and romantic.
Okay! Okay, okay, okay!
- I-I'll listen to you!- Let's go.
Liangliang, did you know that in the past,
everything was just a game and nothing was serious?
It's because I hadn't met you!
It was different when I met you!
Ever since the first time I saw you,
I felt that you were different from other girls.
Why did those other girls pursue me?
Isn't it just because I'm handsome? They didn't look below the surface!
You're different.
You don't care about my looks at all.
What you care about is my heart!
I had a mental illness for so many years, but you cleared up the problem with just a few words.
Only you are the one who truly understands me!
Liangliang, I...
I want to personally give you happiness!
I won't be at ease if I let someone else do it!
Liangliang, will you be my girlfriend?
You're not saying anything. Are you embarrassed? Are you silently approving it?
Then... then you are... my girlfriend!
Shouldn't you say something?
A man should take the initiative, right?
Liangliang! You--!
You're my girlfriend! Would you die if we kissed?
Did we move too fast from holding hands to kissing?
We can control the speed!
Could it be... the spiritual pearl is still with Wu Julan?
Wu Julan, where is that black-clothed person?
What black-clothed person?
That person that you just fought with.
There was no black-clothed person.
You had heat stroke and fainted in the sand.
I was the one that carried you back.
There was no black-clothed person?
Was I just dreaming?
That's not right. I clearly saw that black-clothed person fighting with you.
Hurry and get to work.
Thank you for everything this time.
You're too courteous, Boss An. How can you say that?
Stop acting. You saved my life this time.
You created the sound that distracted Wu Julan at the factory.
I just happened to pass by.
It wasn't intentional. It doesn't need thanks.
It wasn't unintentional?
You made me owe you a favor, and left your love rival an enemy that could kill him.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Boss An, you can't say that.
I'm not that smart.
Don't worry. You saved my life this time.
I will remember that.
Go check on your bank account. There'll be a surprise.
Thank you, Boss An. Thank you.
As you hoped,
I think our relationship can become a deeper cooperation.
You know now.
Wu Julan is a mermaid. My goal is to obtain the merpeople's pearl.
Don't you like that girl named Shen Luo?
In this world, the only one who can defeat mermaids is me.
I want the spiritual pearl. You want the woman.
The two of us will be very good partners.
Yes. We will definitely make a good partnership.
Tell me what I need to do.
Zhou Buwen, I admire your brains.
But I must advise you not to be conceited.
I won't! How could I do that with you?
Right?
What are you laughing at?
I'm laughing at how cute you are.
Don't, don't, don't!
Come here.
So, you're still keeping this picture?
I just haven't had the chance to throw it out yet.
It'd be good if you throw it out. I'm in front of you anyway.
You can see it even clearer like this.
Regulus!
I just fought with An Zuo.
It's just a shame that I let him escape again.
I know. I will hurry and find out where he is.
The island isn't that big. Why has there been no news after so long?
I'm sorry, I will do my best.
You must hurry and find him.
Liangliang, for me, you willingly betrayed Wu Julan.
Thank you.
I didn't betray Regulus.
It's just that you promised you'd leave.
So, I'm just avoiding an unnecessary fight.
Your bed is ready. Get some rest early.
Don't worry. Time will heal everything.
Everything will get better. I'll be with you!
What's wrong?
- What are you doing?- Come here, come here.
Don't pull me!
What are you doing?
Sit here!
Jiang Yisheng, who beat you up?
Enough, enough. Stop looking!
This is from a love quarrel.
Oh! You took advantage of LIangliang and got hit, right?
What nonsense are you saying? You make me sound so vile.
I really love Liangliang, got it?
Isn't that what you say first every time you pursue a girl?
It's the same as saying "hello!"
What do you understand?
That's just your prejudice against me.
Let me tell you! This time, to Liangliang, I--!
Enough! I know!
Enough, stop talking about me. Let's talk about you. Why are you looking for me?
It's like this.
Yesterday, I clearly saw Wu Julan
fight with a black-clothed person for me.
But Wu Julan wouldn't admit to it! And he insisted I was dreaming!
Shen Lu, oh, Shen Luo.
You can't even deal with one man!
Now you think two men are fighting over you?
It's the truth! I saw it myself!
Let me tell you.
From a medical standpoint, you are having hallucinations.
When it's serious, you treat those hallucinations as reality!
But it's okay! Don't forget your good friend, me.
I'm a famous psychologist! Leave your illness to me!
You're the sick one! Fix up your face first!
Don't touch my face!
Wu Julan is so picky about his clothing.
He threw away a perfectly good shirt!
Wu Julan, you're insulting my intelligence again.
What?
You see that I'm kind and innocent,
so you've gotten obsessed with bullying me, right?
What's this?
What do you mean?
You're still acting? Did you fight with a black-clothed man yesterday?
It's your choice whether to believe me or not.
If you want me to trust you, then take off your clothes to prove it!
I will only believe it if I don't see a wound!
- Let me see! Don't be so petty!- What are you doing?
Let me see! Let me see!
You must not misunderstand!
We are discussing a very serious topic!
I want to know if Wu Julan tricked me!
Wu Julan didn't trick you.
- How do you know?- When I passed by the marketplace yesterday,
I saw him helping a woman wash a fish. That's why his clothes ended up like that.
Wash fish?
Such a big scale. How big of a fish was it?
Regulus has given up on the spiritual pearl and Shen Luo.
He's worried that his love for Shen Luo will put her life in danger.
So...
You must cause Shen Luo to continue pursuing Regulus. As long as they are in love,
then true love's kiss can be obtained.
- Yes.- You must pay whatever the price,
to make Regulus live on.
Good morning!
- Does it still hurt?- Yes!
It hurts and you still won't let go?
I want to let go, too! Do you think it's that easy?
I can't do it.
Why are you so silly?
Liangliang!
Before I met you, I thought that pursuing girls was a game of skill.
But ever since I met you,
I learned that love can't be controlled.
Let's meet and talk at the bar tonight.
Talk?
That means I have a chance!
----
Next!
Young lady, you look very familiar.
Yeah, right! It's me!
Xiao Luo? What are you doing?
I think... I think you're right.
I really am sick.
You're sick?
Tell me about your symptoms.
During these days, as long as I see Wu Julan,
I imagine some situations that shouldn't be thought of!
And?
Why are you asking so much?
Nonsense! How can I treat you if I don't ask enough?
What is it? Do I have to check into the hospital?
I'm so seriously ill! Can I be healed?
Xiao Luo, you're not sick!
Congratulations!
What are you congratulating me for?
