♫ I am strolling about the distant starlight ♫

The Starry Night, The Starry Sea
- Episode 2 -
- Come here!- What is it?
That's right. Did you introduce your patient to me yesterday?
That pervert who loves to drink water!
Didn't you say you didn't want to see him? I told him not to come.
What? He didn't come?
Then who was the one who stayed at my house last night?
Thank goodness nothing happened last night.
That pervert was gone in the morning.
Perhaps he didn't leave.
Perhaps he's still in your house.
Your house might be all empty when you get back!
Who told you not to pick up the phone last night?
Who knew your intelligence would be so worrisome?
Xiao Luo, you were too careless.
You took a stranger into your house.
If you ran into a runaway criminal, got robbed, and then raped, then what?
Hey!
- What are you doing?- Protecting myself!
Speak! What are you here to do?
Speak! What is your ulterior motive?
What smells so nice?
The garden was all cleaned up.
You were the one that cleaned?
Lunch is ready.
So much good food!
Yisheng!
It's delicious! What was the food I was eating before?
This is the real good food!
Hurry and eat!
There couldn't be a problem with the food, right?
What problems could there be? It's so delicious, there's definitely no problem!
Stop scaring yourself. Hurry and sit to eat!
Now that you mention it,
a person who can make so much good food definitely cannot be a bad person!
Hey, why didn't you tell me you didn't know Jiang Yisheng?
I never said I knew Jiang Yisheng.
I say, a man like you isn't staying properly at home.
Why did you run to our Xiao Luo's house?
I don't have a home.
Then, what about your parents and family?
They're all dead.
What about your friends?
I don't have friends.
Aiya, brother. There's one word written on your face: Pitiful!
So you were this pitiful?
I thought you were a pervert after money and my body.
What is this smell?
Gasoline!
Xiao Luo! Hurry and look at your television!
My television!
You--! You pervert with an unknown background! What did you do to my house?
You saw what I did.
Are you trying to cause chaos? You think you're justified?
Now that you mention it, your food does taste good,
but now that I think about it, why does it smell like stinky tofu?
You didn't really put poison in it, right?
I told you not to eat it!
Speak! What did you put in the food?
I just used well water.
Well water?
What well?
There's a white well over there.
That's the bathroom!
Could it be... toilet water?!
- Go!- Go!
I knew from the first look that you weren't a good person!
You pretended to clean our rooms and cook food for us. You're so pretentious!
Before we get angry, hurry and get lost!
Don't come back again! I'll hit you every time I see you!
I'm going to go throw up!
What are you looking at? You broke my television,
and then had us eat food made from toilet water!
You almost gave us gas poisoning.
I only know you.
Only a ghost knows you!
Then, what about your parents and family?
They're all dead.
What about your friends?
I don't have friends.
Fine, fine. You succeeded with your puppy face. Come in.
We have to set down some ground rules first.
If you want to live at my house, you can't stay for free.
Grandpa is sick, so we're missing some help at home.
Besides, you broke my television, too.
From today onward, you're my servant.
You must listen to my every command!
That's right, what is your name?
Wu Julan.
Wu Julan, your looks aren't too bad.
But why is your taste so worrisome?
If you run around dressed like this,
it'll be hard for people to avoid doubting your intelligence.
Now, since you're my servant,
I'm going to change your style, otherwise you'll embarrass me!
What are you going to change it to?
A style that I like!
A style like yours that went out of fashion a century ago,
only you would dare to wear it.
You have no right to interfere with my personal matters.
Besides changing your style of clothes, your hairstyle has to be changed, too!
Wu Julan! Someone is looking for you at the front door!
Aiya, what do we do? Your hair has been cut.
Now, it's uneven, so you're even uglier now!
Should I do a good deed and cut it all for you?
Are you hungry?
Who told you to talk nonsense? Hurry and get to work!
Wu Julan, you're not from the island, and you have no money on you.
And you dress so weirdly, too! What did you come here for?
I came to look for someone.
That person owes me something.
Who is that person?
Brother Tou, hurry!
Island Street, 27. It's here!
Uncle Wang!
It's me!
Why is it you again? Didn't I already tell you?
You profiteers, just give up.
That treasure is my family heirloom!
I won't sell it for any price! I'm not selling!
Uncle Wang, you've misunderstood.
We didn't come to talk business matters with you.
It's like this. This is my younger cousin.
His family has a silver box just like yours.
- No, we don't!- Shut up!
It's because your business failed and you owe a huge debt!
That's why the silver box had to be sold to pay off the debt!
Look! In his anger, my uncle hit him to this state!
Aiyo!
That father is very cruel!
That's not all. In his anger, a blood vessel burst in his brain!
He's still in emergency care right now!
Uncle Wang! My father is still in the hospital right now!
- You can't watch me die like this!- Hurry and get up!
We know you are a kind person.
If you can give us that silver box, perhaps my uncle he...
Perhaps he can still be saved!
Please be kind to us. As the saying goes, better to save one life than to build a seven-story pagoda.
I'm begging you!
- I'm begging you!- Okay, okay.
If you don't give it to me, I won't get up!
Fine, fine, fine, hurry and get up!
Brother Tou, I'm impressed!
I came many times but couldn't wrap things up! The minute you came, you got it done!
Use your brain from now on.
Then I'll accept this!
That's right. I need to ask you something.
You can pursue this industry in the big city.
Why did you come to this little island?
Ask what you should ask. Don't ask about what you shouldn't know. Got it?
Continue collecting these silver boxes for me.
I want as many as there is. I'll give you double the price.
Da Tou!
No... this mouth of mine!
Brother Tou,
I bullied you as a child, and you let the past go.
You're helping me like this now, too! You're my savior!
I forgot the matters from childhood long ago.
Brother Tou! You're a person who will do big things!
Be careful. The things in there are fragile.
Don't worry, Boss!
You're up? Hurry and get to work!
Why aren't you using the washing machine to wash the clothes?
The tag says it needs to be hand-washed.
It's not dry yet!
I know!
♫ The galaxy flows to the end of yearnings ♫
♫ Without rest, it pours into the heart of the ocean ♫
♫ In the ocean's dream, you're leaning on a rainbow ♫
♫ The stars' turbulence, rising the wind ♫
♫ Like the strands of zither strings, gently vibrate ♫
What's up with the washing machine? Didn't I tell you to handwash them?
Wu Julan! I'm talking to you!
♫ Love is not possessive ♫
♫ Love never holds back ♫
I didn't think that you'd have some taste!
What is the name of this song?
It's called "Sea of the Summer Night Sky." It's my favorite.
♫ I'm willing to wait ♫
♫ and accept-- ♫
So you could hear me? Then why did you pretend you couldn't?
Why didn't you agree?
Ask whatever you want.
L-Let me ask you. Why do you know how to use a computer?
And what's with the washing machine?
There's a instruction manual in the drawer.
You mean... you learned by reading the instruction manual?
Correct.
If there's nothing else, I'll get to work.
There's nothing else!
How amazing!
He learned just like that?
- Good morning, Dr. Jiang!- Good morning, Dr. Jiang!
- Dr. Jiang!- Fangfang? Come here.
What are you doing? There are so many people here!
Where? Don't move.
Do you like it?
You treat me the best!
What nonsense! If I'm not good to you, who will be?
Wait for me after work.
Lulu!
You're eating noodles?
Eat some more. You'll look nice if you become a little chubby!
How despicable!
Come find me when you're done eating.
Lili!
What is it? Why are you hiding from me?
Come watch a movie with me tonight! You're not allowed to say no!
Then it'll depend on your sincerity!
What should I do to show my sincerity?
You're not allowed to flirt with the other nurses in the hospital from now on!
You're not even allowed to look! Do you hear me?
I have something important to do. Sorry! Let's continue another day!
Jiang Yisheng!
Great Dr. Jiang, if you continue flirting like this,
you might not be able to cut things off!
You have time to mock me? Looks like you already found a boyfriend.
When are you going to bring him for Grandpa to see?
I don't need you to interfere!
To be honest, it's not important whether or not you have a boyfriend.
What you need to do now is hurry and find an excuse
to kick out that Wu Julan from your house!
Why? I'm having fun, ordering him around.
Besides, he owes me for my television.
If I let him go now, wouldn't I lose out?
How do you know he didn't create an excuse to stay?
He's waiting for a dark and stormy night.
After you're asleep, he'll secretly enter your room!
First he'll rob you, and then take you, too!
Xiao Luo, oh, Xiao Luo.
No matter what, you're still a single woman in the prime of your youth.
You can't, just because you're not super pretty,
harm yourself and let down your guard against strangers!
Jiang Yisheng, do you want to die?!
Ouch, ouch! That hurts!
Trade your cannon piece with my soldier piece.
Come, let's go again!
Grandpa, you can't take back your move.
Come, come, come!
When did my cannon piece end up here?
- Grandpa, don't cheat.- Grandpa!
Xiao Luo.
Grandpa, is your throat hurting from playing chess too long?
I'll get some tea leaves to make you some tea.
Xiao Luo, I'll go get the tea leaves. You spend some time with Grandpa.
Have you called your boyfriend?
I have.
What did he say? When is he going to come see me?
Um... recently he... can't get any days off.
How insincere!
I think that he doesn't care about you at all!
How could that be? He loves me so much!
He knelt on the ground and begged me not to throw him away!
How could you listen to that? What type of girl speaks that way?
I was being honest.
Be more serious. Let me tell you.
Your parents have created their own separate families.
You're the only one left alone now.
I'm not at ease.
I'm not alone! I have you!
I can't be with you forever!
You're not allowed to talk nonsense! You'll live for a long time and spend a very long time with me!
Forget it! Let's not talk about this.
You... have to be good.
Da Tou!
Grandpa was afraid you wouldn't be able to find the tea leaves, so he told me to come help.
- I found them.- That's great.
I told Grandpa he was worrying too much. Let's go!
You go first. I'll come after I clean up here.
Grandpa, your family has lived on this island for generations.
I think you should have valuable antiques in your house, right?
If you do, you can give them to me.
Lately, the antique industry has been doing well.
Don't joke around, how could I have any antiques?
That's right, Da Tou. When did you see Grandpa playing with antiques?
- But I--!- General!
You're done for.
You have to focus when playing chess.
Stop thinking about what you have and don't have.
One more game, one more game!
I don't know how to play to lose! How annoying!
Da Tou,
your work is so difficult, yet you still come to care for Grandpa. Thank you.
Why are you being courteous with me?
Grandpa watched me grow up.
In my heart, he's my own grandpa.
I'm not giving it to you!
- Give it to me!- Come catch me!
Hurry and give it to me!
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Xiao Luo, do you still remember this place?
You once saved me here.
Embarrassing! Wild child!
You kid with a mom but without a dad!
- A bastard child that no one wants!- You're talking nonsense!
I am not!
Your dad is dead! And your mom got together with another man!
Beat him!
Don't move!
Based on what are you bullying him?
I know! You are also a parentless bastard kid!
Let's go!
Zhou Buwen, stop right there! Zhou Buwen!
Stop right there, Zhou Buwen!
It was strange, those two bullies wanted to cruelly beat us up.
In the end, one transferred schools, and the other always avoided us.
If someone didn't know better, they'd think that we bullied them!
My family was poor then, and my father had just died.
Everyone looked down on me.
Xiao Luo,
if not for you, I might not have made it up to today.
Thank you for always being with me.
Of course! We're good brothers!
Okay, I'm going back alone. We're not on the same path anyway.
Bye-bye!
Zhu Yiyang, watch your mouth! You can yell at me,
but if you dare to yell at Xiao Luo again, I'll beat you up every time I see you!
Xiao Luo, I will protect you forever.
Forever.
Reporters have received news from the police
that many obscene robbery cases of women
have happened in Qingzhou City this month.
The suspect pretended like he was a person with no home.
He takes advantage of feminine innocence
and sympathy in order to...
Wan Chun, Xiao Min, come here.
- Village Chief.- Take this. Look carefully!
- Thank you, Village Chief. - Hey!
Xiao Luo! Come, come, come. Take this.
- Look carefully!- What is this?
It's the picture of that pervert!
Village Chief, aren't you being too nervous?
What do you mean?
You didn't hear? This pervert has already taken a boat out to the ocean!
He might be on our island by now! You must be careful!
Oh, okay, okay.
Your grandpa is still in the hospital, and you're out here alone.
If anything happens to you, how can I answer to him?
I'll be careful, Village Chief.
Be careful.
- Okay.- Okay.
Stop!
[Wanted]
Oh no! It's exactly the same!
Um... Wu Julan, now that I think about it, you don't need to pay me back.
Leave right now.
No, I don't agree.
How could you not agree? This is my home! You have to leave if I tell you to!
I said I'd work off my debt, so I must keep my word.
My debt has not been paid yet. I cannot leave yet.
Why don't you understand human speech? I don't want your money anymore!
I want you to leave right now!
I'm telling you! I already know your secret!
You know who I am?
Yes! Of course, I know!
Also, I already called the Village Chief.
If you don't leave now, just wait for someone to come catch you!
What else do you know?
Talk!
You pervert! Uh, no, no, no, you're not a pervert!
I have a lot of valuable things at home!
Take them all! Please don't violate me!
Hello, Village Chief? It's me, Shen Luo.
Let me tell you. The Wu Julan that just came to our house,
I think he's that pervert!
Hurry and send someone to save me! If you wait any longer, I'll be lost!
That pervert has been caught already?
Then pretend like I never said anything.
This is a good thing. This is too good for you, Wu Julan.
Angel's Trumpet?
This wine... What is in this wine?
I thought the king of the Merpeople would be strong.
But in the end, you still couldn't resist the poison of the Angel's Trumpet.
She lives in Du Xiaolin's old house, and the house is filled with Angel's Trumpet.
Now, it seems like she knows my identity, too.
Could this all be a coincidence?
Wu Julan, hurry and come here!
Just now, it was a misunderstanding.
So, I prepared some snacks and tea to apologize!
It can count as some repayment.
Drink! Why aren't you drinking it?
What did you add to the tea?
How do you know I added something? You have such a good nose!
I didn't imagine that you'd admit to it!
That's right! What is there that I cannot admit to?
Why are you planning a scheme against me?
Why did you plot to harm me?
How am I harming you? I'm doing this for your own good!
For my good?
Do you dare to drink this cup of tea?
Fine. Who's afraid of who?
Shen Luo.
Shen Luo!
- Shen Luo!- I scared you didn't I?
You deserved it! You're delusional!
Didn't I mistake you for a pervert? The pervert has been caught.
After the truth was revealed, I made some tea for you to apologize.
Is it worth this reaction?
This is good stuff.
It's too good for Wu Julan.
You mean, you put cassia seeds in the tea?
That's right.
Then why did you plant Angel's Trumpet in the backyard?
Don't you know they're poisonous?
- I know.- You know but you planted them anyway?
Angel's Trumpet is poisonous, but it's also a medicinal ingredient!
A medicinal ingredient can be harvested every now and then.
Those Angel's Trumpets can be harvested very soon.
I can sell it for some housekeeping money.
You mean... you planted Angel's Trumpet to earn money?
Of course! Otherwise, who would want to plant flowers?
Okay, stop scaring yourself. Eat some snacks.
You'll only have energy to work for me when you're full. Come!

Lulu!
Dr. Jiang!
Why aren't you wearing the hair clip I gave you? You can't bear to wear it?
You didn't give me a hair clip.
Dr. Jiang!
I was the one you gave the hair clip to!
You clearly like me! Why did you give her a hair clip?
- Listen to me! Um...- What are you saying?
I'm the one he likes!
Nonsense, it's clearly me!
-You're the one talking nonsense! It's me!- It's me!
Jiang Yisheng, don't go!
Talk! Who is the one you like?
Who is it?
The one I like is...
Stop asking.
The one he likes and cares about most isn't you, Lulu.
It's not you, Fangfang, either. It's his childhood friend.
Shen Luo!
Jiang Yisheng, is it true?
Of course not!
Shen Luo and I,
no matter if it is in the past, now, or the future,
we are only friends!
Nothing can or ever has happened!
No! You guys don't even have such a fundamental trust in me?
- We don't!- We don't!
I still have something to do.
- Come back! If you don't admit to it today, don't even think of leaving!- That's right!
All my words are true!
Shen Luo has a man now!
If you guys don't believe me, go to her house to look!
- Really?- Of course!
Xiao Luo's boyfriend is at my house right now!
Sunlight is so nice! The wind is blowing so nice, too!
Everything is great, and I don't need to work!
Indeed, as long as I'm in a good mood,
no matter where I go, it's a vacation! This is too beautiful!
