The Starry Night, The Starry Sea
- Episode 9 -
What did you need me for?
I've heard all about you cooking fish and making an ancient zither.
The villagers are all talking about it. They're all suspicious about your identity.
Don't you think that acting this way is too risky?
I have my plans.
Regulus!
You've already done too much for Shen Luo.
If things go on like this, your identity will be revealed sooner or later.
It'll bring you a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Enough. I know.
You're not... really in love with Shen Luo, are you?
No.
Shen Luo is Du Xiaolin's descendant!
She's your enemy. You definitely cannot fall in love with her!
I already said I didn't!
Also, I've always felt that there's something else to the spiritual pearl issue.
Why did they spend so much effort to steal it,
only to suddenly lose it again?
Shen Luo and her grandfather must have planned it out.
- They must have wanted to--- Enough.
I don't want to hear any more of your baseless guesses.
I'm tired. I'm going to rest.
Tomorrow is the fifteenth of the lunar month.
Hurry and leave after you find the spiritual pearl.
Where did that sheep come from...?
Oh no!
Last night, did I possibly turn into an animal and do that to Wu Julan?
Why are my dark circles still so big?!
Shen Luo, oh, Shen Luo!
Not even rabbits eat the grass around their burrows.
How could you be so thirsty and make a move on Wu Julan?
Wu Julan, what do you want? Use your words, not actions.
Don't block the path.
What does that mean?
Wait, wait, wait!
Clear things up first before you leave!
What do you want me to say?
Stop acting!
Last night... did...
did...
Did what?
Last night, did something happen between us?
You forgot what happened last night?
If I remembered, why would I need to ask you?
Don't worry. What you're worried about didn't happen.
Nothing happened?
I knew it! Someone like me,
no matter what, wouldn't make a move on you.
That's not right.
I suddenly remembered that something did happen last night.
You clung tightly to me.
You also repeatedly rubbed your face against my chest.
While rubbing, you kept saying that I was your best friend.
Also, you said you didn't believe in love.
Thank goodness, I was somewhat in the right state of mind.
You said you didn't believe in love,
but you wanted to see what a kiss tasted like.
Don't talk nonsense! I'm not that crazy!
Regretfully, you are precisely that crazy.
Where did I kiss?
Wu Julan!
I don't care what happened last night, but it was all drunk talk!
I won't take responsibility!
This is so pretty!
Big brother, does this look nice?
Does it look nice?
It looks nice.
Buyan!
- Don't get angry, don't get angry.- I'm angry!
Come come, calm down.
Let me ask you. Were you thinking about that Shen Luo just now?
Of course not. I was thinking of work.
Really? Why don't I believe you?
When have I ever lied to you?
Okay then! If you are still thinking about that Shen Luo, you should give up early.
According to my observations last night, her feelings for that little worker, Wu Julan,
definitely aren't ordinary!
Don't talk nonsense. How long have you been here?
It's a woman's intuition, okay?
Look at the way she looks at Wu Julan.
- It's the look of a young girl in love!- Enough!
Why are you being so mean?
I'm just saying that we should stop talking, okay?
There's a delicious seafood restaurant up there.
I'll take you there to try it.
Let's go.
Was I really embarrassing last night?
I got drunk by mistake last night! It doesn't count!
Tell me!
Did I kiss him or not last night?
My god!
Now that you've said that,
we live under the same roof! How am I supposed to face everyone from now on?
Xiao Luo!
Why are you hiding your face?
Did you do something bad?
I'm protecting myself against the sun, got it?
How long have I known you for? I've never seen you care for your face before.
I'm old now, so I'm starting to care for my skin, okay?
Fine, fine, fine. Whatever you say.
Let me ask you. Someone did me a big favor before.
I wanted to thank him, but that accidentally backfired on me. What should I do?
Then you should definitely do something to make him happy, to show your sincerity!
For example?
For example, buy him a special present!
Or treat him to a feast!
That's right!
June fifteenth on the lunar calendar is his birthday. In the solar calendar, it should be...
It's tomorrow!
That's perfect!
We can throw him a birthday party!
We'll invite all his friends!
Let's use your name to arrange it.
We can also thank him for making a sashimi feast last time.
Also, we can welcome him
to being our mutual friend!
- Okay?- Okay!
Did I say it was Wu Julan?
Besides Wu Julan, who else could it be?
I know you!
Let's hear it. What bad thing did you do to Wu Julan?
You're the one that did something bad to Wu Julan!
Okay, okay! Don't tell me if you don't want to.
If you need me for anything for the birthday party, just ask!
Let me help you!
Um... tomorrow night, I'm treating Jiang Yisheng and the others to dinner.
Do you want to join us?
Are you still hung up on last night?
Just let the past be the past!
Besides, if neither of us talk about this, then no one will know!
You'll still have your purity.
Talk properly, don't get physical!
I really didn't do it on purpose last night!
Look, I'm being very sincere! I'm treating you to dinner as an apology!
You're a man, so don't be so petty, okay?
What's wrong?
Wu Julan!
Wu Julan! Wake up!
How did he faint just like that?
Did he suffer from some shock?
Is that why his depression worsened?
How am I supposed to treat him with you being so noisy?
Then I'll just stop talking!
No.
I can't treat him with you here. Go wait outside.
Tomorrow is the fifteenth of the lunar month.
Your body will become weaker and weaker.
It's too dangerous for you to continue staying here.
How about you move to my place for now?
There's no need.
I don't understand!
Why do you trust that Shen Luo so much?
In your current state, if she has any bad intentions,
it'll be hard for you to escape!
Don't forget.
You once suffered at the hands of her ancestor, Du Xiaolin.
If we leave,
other people will be suspicious.
Besides, Shen Luo and Du Xiaolin are different.
How is he? Is Wu Julan's illness serious?
He's fine. He'll be okay after some rest.
He's really okay? He fainted!
How about we send him to the hospital for a checkup?
Are you the doctor, or am I?
Actually, Wu Julan will be weak like this during a few days every month.
It's not an illness. It doesn't need treatment or medicine.
There will be a few days like this every month?
It's not an illness? Then would it be menstruation?
What nonsense are you saying?
I'm just joking!
I didn't think that with Wu Julan being such a bug man that he'd actually be this weak!
- I still have things to the do at the hospital, so I'll leave first.- Okay.
----
Hello, Jiang Yisheng?
Didn't you say you wanted to help me? Help me plan the birthday party!
Did you order the cake?
- Not yet.- Alright, it's settled then.
- Okay.- Good-bye. - Bye.
Okay, don't forget!
I got it.
Jiang Yisheng, what are you doing?
Nothing. I'm just doing busywork.
What do you mean, nothing?
Someone's birthday is coming up, right? Whose is it?
You're going to come tomorrow anyway, so I'll tell you.
It's Wu Julan's birthday. We want to throw him a party.
Was it Xiao Luo's idea?
It was my idea! We're all friends!
We can't pretend like we don't know it's his birthday!
Da Tou, don't let your imagination run wild. It really was my idea this time.
Wu Julan has already been on the island for so long.
It's only right for us to throw him a birthday party.
Why would I?
I was just thinking, Xiao Luo is usually so petty with money.
We can't be too lame when we celebrate Wu Julan's birthday.
How about you leave the birthday party and cake
for me to handle?
Look at me, worried for no reason.
Da Tou, you're so reliable.
Okay, it's settled. Get to work.
- See you tomorrow.- See you tomorrow.
You're here? Come eat!
You're not feeling well, so just bear with it.
Eat my cooking.
Don't be shy! Hurry and eat!
How is it? Does it taste good?
It tastes disgusting.
Disgusting? How could that be?
Doesn't this taste pretty good?
You left it cooking for too long, and the eggs are overdone.
Also, making scrambled eggs doesn't require adding chicken powder.
Why are you so hard to serve?
I worked hard to make this! You have to eat it even if it tastes bad!
Boss An.
How are things going?
It's going very smoothly.
I have found a perfect chance to take action.
The night of the full moon is when Wu Julan is weakest.
This is also the best chance for us to capture him.
This time, you must not fail.
Just who is Wu Julan?
Is he the same as you?
That's not something you should ask.
Yes, yes, yes.
But... Wu Julan is hard to deal with.
You keep so much from me, too. If an emergency happens,
I won't know how to deal with it!
You don't have the right to request things from me yet.
You just need to know that Wu Julan is very dangerous.
As for your mission this time,
I will arrange for some help. Don't worry.
- Cut it out!- Guess who I am!
Cut it out!
Ever since you came to the island,
you've never been nice to me!
I don't care! I want you to right now, immediately,
pack your things and come back home with me!
Stop that. I'm busy with work lately.
When I'm free in a few days, I'll take you to play.
Look at you! You ask someone for forgiveness,
but you don't even show any sincerity!
Who says I'm not being sincere?
I ordered a limited edition purse for you.
I'll give it to you in a few days.
Not bad! You still have a conscience!
I'm telling you! You're not allowed to anger me!
If I'm not happy, I'll tell my dad!
After all, he paid the money for you to open your company, right?
Who dares to make our young miss unhappy?
I don't dare to.
Big brother, you're so good to me! You must remember your words!
What's wrong?
You're not feeling well?
I'm okay.
Is this yours?
What's wrong with your right hand?
Is it okay?
It's good if you're okay.
Thank you for your concern.
But... we're not very close.
Have you bought all the materials yet?
In a bit, I'll personally go to decorate the event location!
Of course, I'm being very sincere!
But I didn't tell Wu Julan that we're celebrating his birthday today.
I'll give him a huge surprise tonight!
See you tonight!
Wu Julan!
Why did you go grocery shopping when you're not feeling well?
Didn't I tell you to rest?
I'm okay. I'm not that weak.
I don't care! You have to rest properly!
Why are you smiling? I'm concerned about you!
It's because I accepted a lot of reservations for sashimi.
If you don't recover well, how are you going to work?
I got it.
Liangliang!
Why won't you go away?
Didn't I already tell you that I'm not interested?
Don't be angry!
I know! There are too many girls by my side!
You're not happy, right?
I swear! From now on,
you won't have to worry about that anymore!
Watch if you don't believe me!
Hello! Hello, pretty lady!
Hello?
Beautiful girl! Where are you going?
Hey! Hello?
Why are they being so strange today?
You still can't guess?
For you, I
removed all of my potential girlfriends!
How about it? I'm being so sincere. You should consider me, right?
You must carefully consider me!
I'm being very sincere, Liangliang!
Lili, what's wrong?
Dr. Wu,
actually, Lulu, FangFang, and I have all been through this before.
We can understand how you feel right now.
You don't have to feel apologetic!
Who told Dr. Jiang to be so captivating?
It's normal that you can't help yourself.
Fangfang!
What perfume did you use today? It's so fragrant!
I've never used perfume!
Liangliang! You've thought it through so soon?
Yes. I just heard something that made me make up my mind!
What was it?
I heard people say that I love you like crazy
and whenever I see you speaking to other women, I hurt myself.
So all the nurses here, out of pity for me,
are avoiding you!
Who? Who said that?
How could they spread such a crazy rumor?
If I find out, I'll teach them a lesson!
You don't need to teach them a lesson.
----
Wu Julan...
Wu Julan!
Strange, he's sleeping like a dead person.
Wu Julan!
He's not really dead, is he?
I didn't purposefully try to take advantage of you.
I just saw that you were lying there and not moving!
I was afraid you were in trouble!
I still have something to do, I'm going to get to work!
Remember, tonight at six!
Dr. Wu, you should come too if you have time.
You must come! I won't leave without seeing you!
How are things? Did it happen again today?
Yes.
We can't wait any longer. You must leave with me.
Tonight, Xiao Luo is going to eat dinner with us.
It's just dinner!
If you continue staying with Shen Luo,
what are you going to do if your true form comes out? She'll treat you like a monster.
Then it's settled. I'll come get you later.
I'll go explain things to Shen Luo.
That's right.
Have you felt the spiritual pearl?
Not yet.
Perhaps it's because the moon isn't full yet.
Let's hear it! Wu Julan is very lucky, right?
- That's right.- That's right!
He has our Xiao Luo to prepare such an amazing birthday party for him!
- Yes, he is very lucky.- Yes.
Xiao Luo, you have to properly thank our sponsor this time.
Mr. Da Tou!
Besides our free labor,
all the things that required money,
were sponsored by our Da Tou's friendship!
Where are you going to find such a good friend?
Didn't I tell you to do it yourself?
I wanted to, but Da Tou insisted on helping, so what could I do?
Da Tou, thanks for your friendly help; otherwise, I would be a mess.
Why do you need to be so shy with me?
Your friend is our friend, right?
That's right! You all agree too, right?
Then everyone be a witness! Next time when we celebrate my birthday,
you also have to do something just like this. How about it?
That's not a problem!
How can you be so shameless?
How could you call this shameless?
This is called equal requests!
It's getting late. Why isn't he here yet?
That's right! Oh, he's here!
Liangliang, why are you alone?
Where is Wu Julan?
I'm sorry. Wu Julan can't make it.
He suddenly fell ill, so he had me come to tell everyone.
He won't participate in the group dinner tonight.
What group dinner?
This is the birthday party our Xiao Luo prepared just for him!
So... it was to celebrate Wu Julan's birthday?
Yes. Xiao Luo has been preparing for two days for this party.
How could he not come just like that?
It's okay! Wu Julan is sick.
Dr. Wu, take good care of him.
Then... our group dinner is all ready today anyway.
Let's treat it like a regular party.
You guys have fun. I'll leave first.
You came anyway, eat with us!
- Liangliang! - Give him a call and tell him to come!
Don't be like this everyone. Let me tell you.
The birthday boy isn't here,
but we have to eat and play happily, right?
Come! We'll eat alone!
Come, come, come!
Cut the cake!
Enough, stop being sad.
Wu Julan is too much!
I'll teach him a lesson next time I see him.
Teach him what? He didn't not come on purpose. He's sick!
He had to get sick at this time!
He's not giving you face!
Enough, enough! Stop thinking about him.
Come, drink!
- Come.- Come!
Wu Julan is too much!
He forsook Xiao Luo's efforts for him!
As long as he's not seriously ill, he should come!
It definitely isn't anything serious!
I saw him recently, and he was just fine.
Then I guess that he will come over.
- Why?- If Xiao Luo had prepared this birthday party for me,
I'd come even if I was seriously ill.
The birthday boy didn't even come!
Why are we still twisting light bulbs around here?
Isn't it still early? Maybe Wu Julan will come in a bit!
You're doing it wrong! You'll break it like that!
How am I supposed to do it then? You come up to do it then!
You're so stupid! You can't even twist light bulbs properly!
You just turn it tight like this--
Look! It's not turning on, right?
It's broken! It'll be okay after I switch light bulbs!
Look!
- Okay, why don't you twist in all these light bulbs? - What is this? None of these bulbs are lighting up.
What are you doing?
Don't grab me.
Zhu Yiyang, you idiot! Why did you grab onto my clothes?
I'm talking to you! Hurry and apologize!
What are you doing? I'm talking to you!
Jiang Yisheng, I'm telling you. If you ruin my good plans again, I'm going to teach you a lesson!
I ruined your good plans? You grabbed my clothes!
- You want to fight?- What's up with this?
- You want to compare strength with me, huh?- What's going on?
You want to compare strength with me?
Stop, stop! Stop!
Stop right there!
Jiang Yisheng, you dare to attack me? I won't forgive you!
Are you okay?
- Xiao Luo-- - Shen Luo.
I'm sorry, I'm late.
To show my sincerity, I'll drink this whole bottle on your behalf.
Did you make a mistake?
It's not Xiao Luo's birthday today, it's Wu Julan's birthday.
Besides, the birthday boy didn't come, so it doesn't matter when you come.
If you don't drink today, then you're not giving me face!
Fine, it's just a bottle. Come.
Zhou Buyan! Cut it out! Hurry and go back!
If you don't drink today, I won't leave!
Zhou Buyan!
Drink!
It's fine!
Enough, enough!
Wu Julan, why have you come?
He really came!
Why didn't you tell me that you were celebrating my birthday today?
I just wanted to give you a surprise.
You only came now, there's no cake left!
Come with me.
Oh, now that's a man!
He's too handsome!
Good luck, Xiao Luo!
How is it? You worked so hard to help someone else prepare a birthday party.
But in the end, Shen Luo was taken away by another man. Does your heart hurt?
Why would it? I'm quite happy.
Wu Julan, where are you taking me?
I want to give you something.
There's nothing here!
What are you going to give me?
Close your eyes.
How pretty!
♫ 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 ♫
Do you like it?
Yes! I love it!
♫ Having met you in this life, I am satisfied ♫
I'm sorry.
I really didn't know that you prepared a birthday party just for me.
Forget it. Since your apology is so sincere, I forgive you!
♫ Maybe one day, I will be satisfied ♫
Wu Julan! What's wrong? Is your illness acting up again?
It's nothing.
Don't worry.
Let's go!
Attack!
Liangliang! Have some alcohol!
Didn't you say that you weren't coming back?
Did you miss me halfway, so you came back to see me?
Sometimes, I really am very curious.
How can you be so heartless?
Life is difficult enough!
So, we have to relax and think a bit more openly, right?
Why put so much pressure on yourself? Don't you think I'm right?
Right.
But not everyone is as lucky as you.
Some people are born with a heavy responsibility.
They can't get rid of it for life.
Stop!
What do you want? We don't have money!
Why are you so stupid? I already said we don't have money!
Don't bother with me. Run!
Let go of me! Let go of me!
Wu Julan!
Shen Luo, hurry and go!
I won't go! We'll leave together!
Let me tell you! If you want to touch Wu Julan, you'll have to get through me first!
Can you hurry up?
It's already going very fast!
What's wrong with Wu Julan and Shen Luo?
They went so far and made us go looking for them!
That brat, Wu Julan,
could he be harboring bad intentions?
What time is it now?
- Ten minutes after ten. - Pull over.
What is it?
Come down!
What are you doing?!
Too cool!
I'm in love with you!
I didn't want to fight with you bastards!
But you're being too much! You're forcing me to attack!
Today, I'll let you all see some real martial arts!
Don't blame me for not having eyes on my fists!
Hurry and run if you know what's good for you, or else you're all dead!
