00:00The story kicks off with Lin Zhenshin, a total workaholic who's always grinding at her job.
00:08Everyone notices how hard she's hustling, especially her boss, who makes sure to shout
00:12her out in front of the whole office.
00:15They even throw a little party to celebrate her dedication.
00:18Zhenshin's feeling on top of the world, her job's going great, and her love life's looking
00:23good too.
00:25But just when she thinks everything's perfect, things start to get messy.
00:29Her boyfriend reminds her about their date, but Zhenshin's stuck at work because her boss
00:34keeps piling on more tasks.
00:36Her coworkers, trying to look out for her, drop hints to say no, but she just can't.
00:42She's too focused, and that doesn't sit well with them.
00:46They're upset, but Zhenshin doesn't realize just how much this is going to affect her.
00:50Feeling bad about leaving her friends hanging, Zhenshin decides to go grab some snacks and
00:55drinks to cheer everyone up.
00:57But when she walks in, it's not what she expected.
01:00Her coworkers start complaining about her right in front of her.
01:03It hits hard.
01:04They're saying she works too much, that it's not worth sacrificing her free time for just
01:09a little extra cash.
01:11They pity her, thinking she's some boring person who only cares about her job.
01:15Zhenshin's heart sinks.
01:17She hides, hurt by the thought that her hard work doesn't even matter to them.
01:21Later that night, Zhenshin looks for comfort in her old high school memories.
01:25She digs through her box of keepsakes and finds her diary, covered in stickers and pictures
01:30of her idol, Andy Lau.
01:33The memories flood back.
01:35She remembers how she used to dream of going to one of his concerts, but that never happened.
01:40Tears start to fall as she longs for the carefree days when life felt so much simpler.
01:45Flashback to high school.
01:47Zhenshin wasn't the smartest or the prettiest, but she was always the sunshine in the room.
01:53Her best friends were Qiao Xiaoqi and Mei Mei, and when she wasn't daydreaming about
01:57Andy Lau, she was scribbling love letters to him in class instead of paying attention.
02:02There was one guy who caught Zhenshin's eye, Ouyang Fei Fan, the basketball star everyone
02:07was obsessed with.
02:10Every time he was near, Zhenshin would get all nervous and shy, especially when he thanked
02:14her for opening the cafeteria fridge.
02:17She'd never miss one of his games, cheering louder than anyone else.
02:20On the sidelines, she'd admire not just his skills, but his good looks.
02:25Her friends knew all about her crush, and Zhenshin cherished those carefree moments.
02:30But there was one thing that always got under Zhenshin's skin, Tao Minmin, her classmate
02:35and neighbor.
02:36Minmin was everything Zhenshin wasn't, pretty, popular, and smart.
02:41Zhenshin couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy whenever she saw Minmin getting
02:45piles of love letters from guys.
02:48It seemed like every day, Minmin had another letter to sift through, making Zhenshin even
02:52more envious.
02:53It all started when Minmin's best friend, Shen Xiaoyi, made a bold move.
02:57One day she gathered all the love letters that had been secretly shoved into Minmin's
03:01desk and laid them out for the whole class to see.
03:04She even warned everyone, if I catch anyone leaving love letters for Minmin, you're in
03:09big trouble.
03:11But then, among the usual notes, one letter stood out.
03:14It was written in English, but the grammar was all wrong.
03:18Zhenshin had always been a bit jealous of Minmin, but she never really cared enough
03:22to complain about the letters until now.
03:26This one, though, definitely caught her attention.
03:29Zhenshin froze when she opened her desk drawer later that day and found an envelope with
03:33her name on it.
03:34But it wasn't just any envelope, it was addressed to Lin Truly.
03:38At first, she thought it was some kind of prank.
03:40But when she read the letter, her heart raced.
03:43It was a cursed letter, telling her she had three days to send it to five people or face
03:48something bad.
03:49Her palms went sweaty, and without realizing it, she slammed her desk.
03:54The whole class turned to look at her, and for a second she felt like everyone could
03:58hear her heart pounding in her chest.
04:01At home, things weren't much better.
04:03Zhenshin's parents always praised her older brother, who, despite looking like a punk,
04:09aced every test.
04:10They'd give him the best food, while Zhenshin barely got by with plain rice and whatever
04:15scraps were left.
04:16Zhenshin was angry, so angry that she almost sent the cursed letter to her brother, hoping
04:21it would teach him a lesson.
04:23But then she realized, if he got into trouble, she'd be dragged down with him.
04:28After a long internal battle, she decided to send the first letter to someone else,
04:33Teacher Huang, her strict math and homeroom teacher.
04:37Teacher Huang was notorious for his tough punishments.
04:40Zhenshin knew that firsthand, after getting a bad grade and almost getting her hand slapped
04:45with his wooden ruler.
04:47But this time, she had a plan.
04:49As soon as Teacher Huang wasn't looking, she slipped the cursed letter inside one of his
04:53textbooks, silent, quick, and unnoticed.
04:57Break time came, and Zhenshin just couldn't resist.
05:01She spotted her crush, Feifan, hanging out by the tree, strumming his guitar.
05:07He looked so perfect.
05:09Zhenshin hid behind the tree, just listening and enjoying the moment.
05:13To her surprise, Feifan even waved at her.
05:17But before she could get too excited, Minmin showed up and stood next to him.
05:22Zhenshin's heart sank as she watched them chat and laugh together.
05:25Her stomach twisted.
05:27So she turned and left, trying to ignore the pain in her chest.
05:31As she walked past Minmin's quiet house later, Zhenshin got another idea.
05:36What if she sent her the cursed letter too?
05:39She slid the letter into Minmin's mailbox, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
05:43But now, with three more letters to go, things were getting tricky.
05:47She wasn't sure who to send them to until she saw Feifan in trouble.
05:52Su Taiyu, the biggest troublemaker at school, was picking on Feifan, pushing him around.
05:57Zhenshin watched as Taiyu, who for some reason had become a school patrol officer, tormented her crush.
06:04This was her chance.
06:06Zhenshin quickly took the cursed letter from her bag, slipped it into Taiyu's backpack
06:10while he was distracted, and ran off, hoping her plan had worked.
06:14She didn't know if the curse would really work,
06:17but for now, watching Taiyu get a taste of his own medicine felt good enough.
06:21Later that day, Taiyu and his buddies were hanging out when he pulled out a pink, scented letter from his bag.
06:26His heart raced.
06:28He thought it was a love letter.
06:30He couldn't wait to find out who sent it, so he told his friends to take off.
06:34With a grin on his face, he eagerly tore it open.
06:37But as he was reading, he didn't notice the car speeding toward him.
06:41Next thing he knew, he was sent flying onto the road, completely knocked out.
06:45Zhenshin was totally shocked when she heard about Taiyu's accident.
06:50She never saw this coming.
06:52Meanwhile, Taiyu was fuming, swearing to find the person behind that cursed letter.
06:57He didn't waste a second, telling his friends to search every classroom for clues.
07:02That's when Sakuragi found something strange.
07:05Zhenshin's desk was plastered with Andy Lau stickers, just like the one on the letter.
07:10But that wasn't all.
07:12In her drawer, there were two more letters exactly like the cursed one.
07:16When Zhenshin got home from school, she was caught off guard.
07:20Sakuragi and Dahyo were there, confronting her and dragging her to Taiyu.
07:25Zhenshin was terrified when she saw Taiyu.
07:27He looked so intimidating, with that weird hairstyle, those huge eyes, and that sneaky smile of his.
07:35Taiyu pretended to want to be friends, but she quickly realized it was all an act.
07:40He was setting her up to be his personal servant, and his friends were ready to back him up.
07:45Taiyu didn't waste any time.
07:47He put Zhenshin to work right away.
07:50She had to do the homework for the class that performed the worst, Taiyu's class.
07:54Oh, and she also had to buy lunch for him and his friends.
07:58Why?
07:59Because Taiyu had threatened to hurt Feifan, the guy she liked.
08:03He knew all about her crush, thanks to his friend, who found a picture of Feifan in her desk.
08:08So, Zhenshin had no choice but to do Taiyu's homework and bring him food every single day.
08:15One day, Zhenshin rushed to Taiyu's class to hand him his homework.
08:18But just as she turned to leave, Taiyu stopped her with a grin.
08:22For all your hard work, he said, I'll give you something special.
08:26A signed photo of Andy Lau.
08:29Zhenshin lit up, her face breaking into a huge smile.
08:32But as she reached for the photo, Taiyu and his friends burst into laughter.
08:37It was all a joke.
08:38She felt humiliated, her smile fading as she ran off, trying to hide the tears.
08:44One day, Taiyu tried to talk Zhenshin into skipping school and heading to the mall with
08:48them.
08:49Zhenshin was totally freaked out by the idea of climbing the school wall, but Taiyu wasn't
08:53taking no for an answer.
08:55He pushed and pushed, convincing her to face her fear.
08:58Finally, with his help, Zhenshin managed to climb the wall.
09:02They made it to the mall, and Taiyu and his friends immediately started roller skating,
09:07leaving Zhenshin stuck on the sidelines.
09:09She was all over the place, struggling to keep her balance, nearly eating it a few times.
09:15When Taiyu noticed she wasn't having fun, he motioned for her to follow him.
09:19Zhenshin wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bring herself to.
09:22She just couldn't say no to him.
09:24The next thing she knew, Zhenshin was screaming as she lost her grip during their amusement
09:29park game and crashed to the ground.
09:31Taiyu, not really caring, laughed it off, pretending to be concerned, but quickly went
09:37back to having fun when he saw she was fine.
09:40Zhenshin limped off to grab some squid meatballs for Taiyu, muttering under her breath about
09:45the hard floor that left her aching.
09:47Suddenly, a group of people with baton burst onto the scene, and everyone scattered to hide.
09:53Zhenshin froze, trying to understand what was going on, before she saw the bullies targeting
09:58Taiyu and his friends.
10:00One of them knocked Taiyu down, and Zhenshin watched in horror as they kept pounding on him.
10:05Without thinking, Zhenshin grabbed Taiyu's fallen stick and hurled it at the bullies.
10:11That was all it took.
10:12Taiyu and his friends fought back, and the bullies were soon on the receiving end of
10:16a beatdown.
10:18Zhenshin was too scared to join in, so she ducked behind a corner while the chaos unfolded.
10:24When the bullies finally left, they caught sight of Zhenshin's terrified face and her
10:28uniform, and she couldn't hold it in anymore.
10:31She screamed and scrambled to cover herself.
10:34The school staff caught wind of what happened, and soon Zhenshin found herself in the principal's
10:39office, shaking in fear.
10:41She wanted to tell the truth, but Sakuragi silently signaled her to stay quiet.
10:47Dahi slid a photo of Feifan and Taiyu across the desk, squeezing it as a warning.
10:52It was clear.
10:53If she told the truth, they would hurt Feifan.
10:57Scared out of her mind, Zhenshin kept quiet, unable to defend herself.
11:02The principal wasn't having it and gave her the punishment of cleaning the swimming pool.
11:07Zhenshin wanted to protest, but all the courage drained from her and she left the office feeling
11:12like a total failure.
11:14As she walked around the school, she spotted Feifan coming her way, and panic hit her.
11:19She scrambled to hide, trying to play it cool by pretending to read the school announcements.
11:24But her two best friends couldn't contain their excitement and shouted his name.
11:28Feifan turned, noticed her, and she quickly made a goofy face to avoid talking to him.
11:33But then he surprised her by complimenting her, saying he liked roller skating too.
11:38He even asked if they could skate together sometime.
11:41Zhenshin couldn't believe it.
11:43Her heart was racing and she couldn't wipe the smile off her face.
11:47Her friends were going wild, saying that now Feifan knew her name and might even ask her out.
11:52Despite the mess with Taiyu, Zhenshin found a silver lining.
11:56She and her friends made the best of their punishment, laughing and dancing while they worked.
12:00Her heart was light, buoyed by the compliment from Feifan.
12:04While cleaning the pool, she sang to herself, still on cloud nine.
12:08Then Zhenshin overheard something.
12:10She crept closer and couldn't believe her ears.
12:12Feifan and Minmin were deep in conversation.
12:15She listened, feeling a twist in her chest as Feifan comforted a crying Minmin and even
12:21promised to be the father of her future child.
12:24When they finished talking, Feifan asked Minmin to leave.
12:27But as Minmin walked away, Feifan's gaze landed on something.
12:31A pool net that had appeared out of nowhere.
12:34Minmin looked freaked out and Feifan tried to calm her down, telling her to leave before
12:39they got caught.
12:40Zhenshin was still reeling from overhearing Feifan and Minmin's conversation.
12:45Heartbroken, she pretended to sink to the bottom of the pool, tears streaming down her face.
12:50Taiyu jumped in without thinking, pulling her to safety.
12:53But when they surfaced, he was all choked up, barely holding it together.
12:58Embarrassed, he tried to hide his emotions, pretending to scold Zhenshin, thinking she
13:03tried to end her life over the punishment.
13:06After they dried off, the two ended up sitting on the school roof, where Zhenshin accidentally
13:11found a love letter from Taiyu to Minmin.
13:14It wasn't exactly poetic, just a bunch of song lyrics.
13:17Zhenshin couldn't help but tease him.
13:20Taiyu flushed red and crushed his drink can in frustration.
13:24Trying to lift his spirits, Zhenshin shared her own secret love story, but Taiyu, looking
13:29a little too determined, suggested they team up to break up Feifan and Minmin.
13:34That way they could both go after their crushes.
13:37It sounded like a bad idea, but Zhenshin agreed to help anyway.
13:40They started tailing Feifan and Minmin, hoping to catch them doing something suspicious.
13:46Turns out Minmin and Feifan weren't secretly dating after all.
13:49They were just meeting to take care of a little black puppy they both adored.
13:54Taiyu felt a huge sigh of relief.
13:57It wasn't about romance, but that didn't stop him.
14:00He was determined to keep Minmin away from Feifan, and he came up with a sneaky plan
14:05to do just that.
14:07After school one day, Taiyu's friends blocked Minmin's path, hoping he'd finally confess
14:12his feelings.
14:13But Minmin wasn't interested.
14:15Not in him, not in his reputation for troublemaking.
14:19She just smiled sarcastically and bumped into him with her bike, which only wound Taiyu
14:23up even more.
14:25When his friends left, Zhenshin came out from her hiding spot.
14:28Maybe it's time to give up.
14:30It's obvious Minmin's not into you, she said.
14:33But Taiyu wasn't ready to back down.
14:36He had another idea.
14:37If he took the puppy, Minmin wouldn't have a reason to meet Feifan secretly.
14:41Zhenshin was skeptical, but she agreed to help him pull off the plan.
14:46Zhenshin got crafty, using milk to make fake paw prints to throw off Feifan and Minmin.
14:52Taiyu was nervous though, and kept telling her to hurry before they got caught.
14:56They managed to sneak the puppy up to the roof of the school.
14:59When they reached the roof, Zhenshin was surprised to see Taiyu gently petting the dog.
15:04She hadn't known he liked animals.
15:07Taiyu then decided that Zhenshin should take care of the puppy, at least until they could
15:11find it a new home.
15:13But as he handed the dog over, it suddenly peed all over him.
15:17Both of them froze for a second, then burst into laughter.
15:21Taiyu didn't even seem mad at the dog.
15:23As they settled down, Zhenshin turned to Taiyu and asked,
15:27What should we name her?
15:29Taiyu grinned.
15:30How about Andy, my favorite idol's name?
15:34Zhenshin wrinkled her nose.
15:36You can't name a girl dog after a guy.
15:39Taiyu thought for a moment.
15:41All right, then let's go with Andy for short.
15:44But Zhenshin was still unimpressed, and soon they were bickering over the name.
15:48Their argument turned into a playful chase around the roof, both of them laughing harder
15:52than they had in a long time.
15:55In class, Minmin was sitting at her desk, clearly upset.
15:58Her dog had gone missing, and she couldn't shake the worry.
16:03Across the room, Zhenshin hid behind a book, but her nervousness was evident.
16:08Suddenly Teacher Huang burst into the room, holding up a letter.
16:11I've got a cursed letter, he announced to the class, his face fuming.
16:15He scolded the writer, calling them foolish for sending such nonsense.
16:19Zhenshin froze, feeling her guilt rise.
16:22She wanted to confess, but the words just wouldn't come.
16:25After class, she headed to the teacher's office, determined to admit her mistake.
16:29But when she walked in, she was taken aback.
16:32Taiyu and Minmin were already there.
16:34The teacher was in full-on scolding mode, but Taiyu didn't seem to care.
16:38Instead, he flirted with Zhenshin, completely ignoring his own punishment.
16:43Poor Zhenshin could speak up.
16:45Taiyu stepped in, taking the blame for the cursed letter.
16:48The teacher sighed in relief and let Zhenshin off the hook, leaving her and Minmin stunned
16:54and silent.
16:55Later, in another room, Taiyu was getting an earful from his homeroom teacher, and another
17:00teacher, both scolding him at the same time.
17:03Annoyed, Taiyu snapped,
17:04One at a time, please!
17:06Zhenshin, pretending to leave, watched him curiously.
17:10The teachers went on about Taiyu's past, how he used to be a troublemaker, but still had
17:15some impressive achievements.
17:18After school, Zhenshin caught up with Taiyu, thanking him for covering for her.
17:23She also confessed she'd been the one to send the third cursed letter to Minmin.
17:27Taiyu was mad at first, but when she apologized, he let it go.
17:32Then Zhenshin pulled out a book of poems.
17:35You should try writing these, she suggested.
17:37It might help you stay out of trouble, especially with the cheating rumors.
17:41She also hinted that Minmin might have a thing for him, since girls were always so complicated.
17:47Taiyu chuckled at her idea, though neither of them knew if it would actually work.
17:51The next day, Zhenshin found herself at Feifan's basketball game, flipping through her old
17:56junior high yearbook.
17:57When she spotted a picture of Feifan with Taiyu, she couldn't resist the urge to ask
18:01him about their past.
18:03Her friends, busy reading a magazine, were shocked by her boldness.
18:06But Zhenshin didn't back down.
18:08Do you know Taiyu? she asked Feifan.
18:11Feifan hesitated, but eventually he opened up.
18:14Yeah, we were best friends in middle school.
18:16His voice lowered as he told her about a tragic memory.
18:19One afternoon after school, he, Taiyu, and another friend named Ma Suyuan had gone to
18:24the beach.
18:25Suyuan challenged them to swim the farthest out in the sea within three minutes.
18:29Taiyu took the bait, but things went horribly wrong.
18:32Suyuan drowned during the challenge.
18:34Feifan hadn't let Taiyu try to save him, thinking it would be too dangerous.
18:39Ever since, Taiyu had blamed Feifan for Suyuan's death, holding a deep grudge against him.
18:44Zhenshin gripped the yearbook, everything falling into place.
18:48Now she understood why Taiyu had been so upset by the pond incident, and why he had helped
18:53her.
18:54It all made sense.
18:55Taiyu was still haunted by Suyuan's death, and that was why he felt so strongly about
19:00Feifan.
19:01Zhenshin felt a rush of determination.
19:04She wanted to help him, to heal the pain and guilt that weighed him down.
19:08With a deep breath, she grabbed a red piece of chalk and drew a line across the schoolyard.
19:13The challenge was set.
19:15She waited, skating in circles, eager for Taiyu to arrive.
19:19When he finally showed up, Zhenshin wasted no time.
19:23She surprised him by gliding toward him on roller skates and, with a grin, challenged
19:28him to a race.
19:29The winner gets to make a wish, she said, her eyes glinting with mischief.
19:35But things didn't go as planned.
19:36Zhenshin fell flat on her face almost immediately, and Taiyu couldn't help but laugh.
19:41His teasing was relentless, but Zhenshin just smiled, shaking off her bruises.
19:46Despite the insults, she didn't give up.
19:49With a final burst of energy, she crossed the red line.
19:52She'd won.
19:54Taiyu was confused, still unsure of the point of the race.
19:57Zhenshin took a deep breath and finally spoke up.
20:00Feifan told me about Su Yuan, about everything that happened and, she explained, you helped
20:06me at the pond because you're still struggling with Su Yuan's death.
20:10You don't need to be enemies with Feifan.
20:13She paused, watching him closely.
20:15You should make things right.
20:17Taiyu's face darkened, and before Zhenshin could react, he grabbed her wrists, his anger
20:22boiling over.
20:23Don't tell me what to do, he snapped.
20:26For a moment, his grip tightened, but then he stormed off, leaving Zhenshin standing
20:31alone.
20:32But she didn't back down.
20:33She chased after him, stumbling again, but determined.
20:37Taiyu stopped and turned, his expression softening as he saw her.
20:42Zhenshin stood up, brushing herself off, and grinned.
20:45Let's race again, she said, the challenge still in her voice.
20:49Taiyu hesitated, then nodded, his anger fading.
20:54As he helped her up, he silently realized the accident had been his fault all along.
20:58Zhenshin reminded him, the winner makes a wish, remember?
21:02Taiyu, his voice quiet, asked, what do you wish for?
21:07Zhenshin smiled, her eyes softening.
21:09I just want to see the old Taiyu.
21:12The mention of those words stirred something in Taiyu.
21:15He remembered a time when he was simply a boy who cried over Suyuan, watching his friend
21:20throw away half of his drink, but still smiling.
21:23He remembered how calm he felt, as if everything was going to be okay.
21:28The next day, the classroom was chaos.
21:31The usual mix of chatter, laughter, and clattering desks filled the air, but not for Taiyu.
21:37He was calm, well-dressed, and waiting for the teacher to walk in.
21:42When the slim male teacher entered, the class fell silent, though some students reluctantly
21:47greeted him.
21:48Taiyu stood, acknowledging him, though the rest of the class quickly went back to their
21:53loud, playful antics.
21:55Frustrated, Taiyu slammed his hand on the desk, making everyone jump.
21:59The teacher, nervous, asked, do you have any questions?
22:03His voice shook.
22:04The class went still as Taiyu coolly asked about the last lesson.
22:08The teacher, a bit flustered, tried to explain they were moving on to chapter 7, page 125,
22:15the Second World War, but when Taiyu flipped through his book, the teacher quickly corrected
22:20him.
22:21That's the wrong book, he said.
22:23Things got even more awkward when Taiyu insisted his friends open a book they didn't have.
22:28The only one with the right book was a student sitting at the front, wearing glasses.
22:33Reluctantly, Taiyu and his friends joined him, the tension rising as the situation became
22:37more uncomfortable.
22:39Sunday arrived, and Zhenxin was ready to meet Taiyu for their study session.
22:43She checked her makeup, feeling confident, but when she saw Taiyu, he teased her relentlessly,
22:48calling her look too fancy for a temple festival.
22:52Annoyed, she walked away, but Taiyu chased after her, snatching her bag and carrying
22:57it just like Zhenxin used to do for him.
22:59Zhenxin, though irritated, couldn't help but feel a rush of happiness as they walked together.
23:05The best part?
23:06Hearing a group of girls whispering about how handsome Taiyu was.
23:10But in her excitement, she didn't see the car speeding around the corner, its horn blaring
23:14as it neared her.
23:16Taiyu acted fast, pulling Zhenxin into his arms, protecting her from the oncoming vehicle.
23:21The atmosphere grew tense as Taiyu reluctantly pulled away from Zhenxin, gently urging her
23:26to step aside as he walked along the highway.
23:29To Zhenxin's surprise, the once grumpy and aloof Taiyu had transformed into someone sweet
23:34and unexpectedly romantic.
23:36When they arrived at the restaurant, Taiyu quickly found a table while Zhenxin went off
23:40to order.
23:42While waiting in line, Zhenxin was taken aback when Minmin and Xiaoyi suddenly showed up
23:46and noticed Taiyu sitting alone, buried in his studies.
23:51After a moment of hesitation, Minmin walked over, encouraging Taiyu to work hard and offering
23:56to help him.
23:57Zhenxin returned with the food only to hear Minmin offering her bio-data to Taiyu, making
24:02him blush furiously.
24:04As Minmin left, Taiyu seemed puzzled by the comment Minmin had made about him misspelling
24:09Destiny's as Disney in his last letter, especially since Disney was his pen name.
24:15When Zhenxin asked about it, Taiyu just shrugged and said they had talked.
24:19After his run-in with Minmin, Taiyu became a dedicated student, even inspiring his classmates
24:25to clean up the classroom and change their ways for the better.
24:28But Zhenxin couldn't help but wonder if Taiyu had truly changed for her, or if Minmin's
24:33encouragement had sparked it.
24:36Every time Taiyu smiled at Minmin, Zhenxin felt a twinge of sadness, knowing that Taiyu
24:41had feelings for her.
24:42One day while Zhenxin was at the bookstore buying the latest textbook, she spotted an
24:47Andy Lau poster and couldn't contain her excitement.
24:50She hugged it tight, letting out a loud scream as she shared her dream of seeing him live
24:55in Taipei.
24:56Taiyu smiled and promised that one day he'd get Andy Lau to sing just for her.
25:01But their joyful moment was interrupted when the shop owner yelled at Zhenxin for touching
25:05the poster.
25:06In a flash, Taiyu grabbed her hand and whisked her away.
25:09Later, when they studied together, Taiyu amazed Zhenxin with his brilliant math skills, skills
25:15he'd honed through science olympiads.
25:18He was eager to help her with the subject, which she had always struggled with.
25:22Their enthusiasm caught the attention of their friend, who watched in awe.
25:26As they walked Zhenxin home afterward, Taiyu declined to go all the way to her doorstep.
25:31He said he had to see Minmin.
25:33This led to some playful teasing between them, where Taiyu showed Zhenxin a keychain of an
25:38Andy Lau doll he had planned to give to Minmin.
25:42Zhenxin, feeling mischievous, snatched the keychain from his hand, delighted by the surprise.
25:48As they walked along, Zhenxin asked Taiyu,
25:51What do men find attractive in a girl?
25:54Taiyu smirked, mentioning that Feifan liked Vivian Chow, but he himself preferred cute
25:59girls like Yuki Uchida and Noriko Sakai.
26:03Zhenxin complained that Taiyu only liked Japanese actresses, but he just grinned and said nothing.
26:10Out of nowhere, Zhenxin then asked him to teach her how to rollerblade, since Feifan
26:14was so good at it.
26:16Taiyu agreed, ready to be her teacher.
26:19The next day after school, Zhenxin grabbed a magazine with a Japanese cover artist on
26:24the front.
26:25She was eager to copy Taiyu's idol's style.
26:28As she got closer to her house, she spotted a trendy girl outside, rocking a bold hairstyle
26:33and makeup.
26:34It turned out she was waiting for Zhenxin's older brother, Sansan.
26:38Zhenxin couldn't help but stare at the girl's cool look, the same style as the one in her
26:44magazine.
26:45She shyly asked, how do you get your hair like that?
26:49Just then, Sansan showed up, ready to scold her, but to Zhenxin's surprise, the girl stepped
26:54in and defended her.
26:55Don't let him talk to you like that, I'll show you how to style your hair, she said.
27:00Zhenxin smiled, ignoring Sansan's annoyed glare.
27:04The next day, Minmin was freaking out when she found out Feifan had injured his ankle.
27:09Things got tense fast when Taiyu walked in, dropping hints that Zhenxin's friends weren't
27:13really Feifan's friends.
27:15Qiaoyi was all smiles as she greeted Feifan, which rubbed Mei-Mei the wrong way, but Xiaoqi
27:21calmed her down.
27:23They noticed Zhenxin was missing, and figured it was the perfect time to get Feifan's attention.
27:28Feifan's eyes wandered around the room, landing on Zhenxin.
27:32She looked different.
27:33Usually, her hair was all over the place, her bangs pinned up, and she wore glasses.
27:38But today, her hair was perfectly styled, and no glasses in sight.
27:43As Zhenxin walked into the cafeteria, a smile tugged at her lips when she saw Feifan.
27:48Taiyu, sitting nearby eating noodles, also noticed the change in Zhenxin.
27:53With newfound confidence, she walked up to the ice cream counter.
27:56But when she grabbed a cone, she froze.
27:59Should she give it to Feifan?
28:01Before she could decide, Taiyu nudged her gently, urging her to go for it.
28:06Meanwhile, Minmin, feeling a little ignored by Feifan, decided to head straight to class.
28:11Feifan, though, caught Zhenxin's eye and complimented her on her new confidence.
28:16Good luck on your exams, he added, smiling.
28:19Zhenxin's friends cheered, congratulating her on the change.
28:22But Zhenxin didn't look as excited as they did.
28:25Instead, her eyes drifted toward Taiyu, who pretended to be absorbed in his noodles.
28:30A few days after the exam results came out, everyone was shocked to see Taiyu ranked 10th.
28:36The excitement didn't last long, though.
28:38Soon, the new principal, Principal Xuan, took over.
28:41And he wasn't here to make friends.
28:43No mercy, no compromises.
28:45He cracked down on the students, especially the kids in Class 317, including Taiyu's friends.
28:52Even the school patrol officer was replaced.
28:55The once lively class quickly became the lowest of the low, forced to follow his strict new rules.
29:00Despite the principal's harsh treatment, Taiyu wasn't about to back down.
29:05He stood tall, fearless.
29:08When leaving the principal's office,
29:09he even threw out a rebellious hand gesture as if to say,
29:12I'm not afraid of you.
29:14But things went downhill fast when Principal Xuan accused Taiyu of cheating on his exam.
29:19He claimed Tai didn't deserve his 10th place ranking.
29:22The principal demanded to know if anyone had helped Taiyu cheat,
29:26but not a single student spoke up.
29:28So, to punish the entire class, the principal decided that everyone would pay the price.
29:33But Taiyu wouldn't let his friends suffer for something they didn't do.
29:37He stepped up, taking the punishment himself.
29:40His sentence?
29:4150 laps around the field.
29:43As Taiyu struggled through the grueling run, the other students watched in silence,
29:48their hearts heavy with worry, but too scared to do anything.
29:52Meanwhile, Chia-Yi started a rumor that Taiyu had cheated, making everything worse.
29:57But Zhen Xin wasn't having it.
29:59She knew Taiyu had earned his spot fairly,
30:02and she wasn't about to let anyone trash his hard work.
30:05She tried to talk some sense into Principal Xuan, but he wasn't having it.
30:09He shut her down immediately,
30:11even threatening to make Taiyu's punishment worse if she didn't stop.
30:15After what felt like an eternity, Taiyu finally collapsed from exhaustion.
30:20And that was the moment everything changed.
30:23Zhen Xin couldn't shake the feeling that Taiyu had disappeared,
30:27like he wasn't the same person anymore.
30:29At her desk the next day, Zhen Xin stared at Taiyu's doodles, lost in thought.
30:34Her friends complained about the Principal's oppressive rules,
30:37but Zhen Xin stayed quiet.
30:39Her mind was elsewhere.
30:41Then a sudden thought hit her.
30:43What if they boycotted the rules?
30:45With the help of her four friends, Zhen Xin created flyers,
30:49hoping to rally the students to take a stand.
30:51But no one was brave enough to even look at them.
30:55Fear of the Principal ran deep.
30:57Zhen Xin wasn't about to give up, though.
30:59She knew she had to get the word out.
31:01But then Xia Yi stepped in, blocking her from giving a flyer to Min Min.
31:06Zhen Xin was starting to lose hope.
31:08But just when things seemed bleak, Fei Fan came to the rescue.
31:12He offered to help pass out the flyers, bringing his friends into the cause.
31:17Unfortunately, their secret didn't stay secret for long.
31:19Teacher Huang found out and slapped Zhen Xin with two days of detention.
31:23At home, Zhen Xin's parents weren't happy.
31:26They scolded her for her rebellious actions and grounded her.
31:30But that wasn't the end.
31:32After a call from Teacher Huang, their anger turned on each other,
31:35and Zhen Xin realized her fight was far from over.
31:39Zhen Xin was sitting in her room trying to focus on her writing
31:42when the sound of her parents arguing echoed through the house.
31:46Suddenly, the phone rang and her mom picked up,
31:49only to quickly hang up on a prank caller.
31:52Thinking it was Tai Yu, Zhen Xin rushed to the phone, hoping he was calling.
31:56When it rang again, it was him, Tai Yu,
31:59calling after his hospitalization, sounding concerned.
32:02She wanted to talk, really, but something made her snap,
32:05and she told him not to call for two days.
32:08Tai Yu was confused, especially with the tension in the air
32:11from her mom's angry outburst.
32:13Zhen Xin stood there, a million thoughts running through her mind,
32:17when she heard it, pebbles hitting her window.
32:20She stepped out onto the balcony and looked down.
32:23There he was.
32:24Tai Yu standing outside her house, pretending like everything was fine,
32:29but neither of them could hide it.
32:31The way Zhen Xin's heart skipped a beat at the sight of him,
32:34or how Tai Yu was clearly uneasy, though he tried to act casual.
32:39He said he was just passing by,
32:41but Zhen Xin couldn't ignore the look in his eyes.
32:44She wanted him to open up,
32:46to tell her about whatever was bothering him.
32:49Just as he turned to leave, Zhen Xin called out, asking him to wait.
32:53Tai Yu paused, clearly nervous, unsure of what she wanted.
32:57When she returned, she had their beloved dog in her arms,
33:00and something about that simple gesture made Tai Yu smile,
33:04his heart a little lighter.
33:06The next day, during Tai Yu's punishment run,
33:08he stumbled, and Zhen Xin rushed over.
33:12She checked on him, relieved to find he was just exhausted and dehydrated,
33:16but Tai Yu surprised her by saying he was actually happy to be suspended.
33:20Zhen Xin was taken aback.
33:22Why would he be happy about something like that?
33:25As they talked, Tai Yu noticed her eyes drifting to the bandage on his arm,
33:29and with a quick smile, he pulled it off to ease her worry.
33:33Zhen Xin laughed, half-joking,
33:35anyone who's connected to you seems to get into trouble.
33:39Tai Yu chuckled and confessed he'd come looking for her
33:41because he remembered her advice about girls being indirect.
33:45His words hung in the air for a moment,
33:47as they both tried to make sense of the mess between them.
33:50Later, Tai Yu took Zhen Xin to a playground lit up with colorful lights.
33:55Their dog, ND, trotted happily beside them
33:57as Tai Yu handed Zhen Xin a pair of roller skates.
34:00I'll teach you, he grinned,
34:02and they spent the evening practicing together.
34:05Every time Zhen Xin stumbled, Tai Yu was there,
34:08steadying her, holding her hand, making her laugh.
34:11It was the kind of simple, carefree moment she'd been craving.
34:16The school festival was in full swing,
34:18with students and families filling the hall.
34:20The principal took the stage to announce the top 10 students,
34:23and everyone cheered when Fei Fan claimed the first spot,
34:27while Min Min beamed proudly at her fifth-place finish.
34:31Zhen Xin glanced at Tai Yu,
34:32who smiled back at her with that reassuring grin.
34:36He was up next, surely for the 10th spot.
34:38But then, the unthinkable happened.
34:41The principal skipped over Tai Yu's name,
34:43accusing him of cheating and saying he didn't deserve his spot.
34:47The words hit Tai Yu like a punch to the gut.
34:49He stood up, shocked and confused,
34:52but the humiliation was too much.
34:55His knees gave way, and he fainted, crashing to the floor.
34:58As his friends erupted in anger,
35:00the principal continued to belittle him, calling him worthless.
35:04Zhen Xin's heart broke as she tried to comfort Tai Yu,
35:07but he just sat there, defeated,
35:10feeling as though his dignity had been stripped away in front of everyone.
35:15She wished she could do something to make it right,
35:17but all she could do was hold him as the room fell into stunned silence.
35:23Zhen Xin couldn't take it anymore.
35:25Fed up with the injustice,
35:26she stepped up to the stage, determined to defend Tai Yu.
35:29Sure, she bent a few rules to grab the principal's attention,
35:33but he wouldn't budge, not a single word.
35:35Still, Zhen Xin wasn't backing down.
35:37She challenged the fairness of a system
35:39that allowed rules to be twisted so easily.
35:42Just when it felt like all hope was lost,
35:44Fei Fan walked up to the stage, out of nowhere.
35:47He took a deep breath and admitted to cheating on the exam.
35:51He even said he was ready to face the consequences.
35:54Zhen Xin was stunned.
35:55He was actually supporting Tai Yu.
35:58She couldn't believe it, but her heart swelled with gratitude.
36:01Fei Fan's father, however, was livid.
36:04He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
36:06Fei Fan, cool as ever, shot back,
36:08suggesting if the principal could accuse Tai Yu of cheating,
36:11why not him too?
36:12The principal was furious, ready to punish him on the spot,
36:16but the students weren't having it.
36:18They gathered together, rallying behind Fei Fan.
36:21Then Mei Mei did something that shocked everyone.
36:23She stripped down to her shorts,
36:25ready to take the fall for her mistakes.
36:28The other students followed suit, confessing their wrongs too.
36:32Min Min even admitted to sneaking in a communication device.
36:35It was a moment of unity that no one saw coming.
36:38The homeroom teachers couldn't help but smile.
36:41The students were finally standing up for each other,
36:44all thanks to Zhen Xin.
36:46She'd inspired them to take responsibility, to be better.
36:50She stood her ground, saying that a person's worth
36:52wasn't just about grades or following every rule.
36:55Everyone messes up.
36:56It's what you do next that counts.
36:59Fei Fan stood right beside her, clearly impressed by her courage.
37:03But Principal Chuan was fuming, ready to punish Zhen Xin for her rebellion.
37:07But just as things were about to escalate,
37:09the former principal stepped in.
37:11He promised to work with Chuan to improve the school,
37:14calming the storm.
37:16The students, once divided, now stood united.
37:19Fast forward to the school's birthday,
37:21time for the annual water balloon fight.
37:24Zhen Xin and Tai Yu teamed up,
37:26launching balloons at each other and laughing their heads off.
37:29Fei Fan was right there too,
37:31playing the protector to Zhen Xin,
37:33while Min Min stuck with Tai Yu.
37:35It was pure fun, and the laughter was contagious.
37:38Then came the school vacation,
37:40and the group went camping on motorcycles.
37:43Zhen Xin paired up with Fei Fan,
37:44and Min Min was with Tai Yu.
37:46Once they hit the campsite, they danced, had fun,
37:49and just soaked in the good vibes.
37:52That night, Tai Yu took a break to gather firewood.
37:55It was just him and Zhen Xin under the stars,
37:58and he let his guard down.
37:59He told her that he found her personality
38:02way more appealing than Min Min's.
38:04He even joked that she was just as beautiful as her.
38:07Zhen Xin blushed, but before she could say anything,
38:10she playfully kicked him,
38:11teasing him about his comment.
38:13The two of them shared a laugh
38:15as Tai Yu helped her carry the firewood.
38:17As they sat beneath the glittering night sky,
38:20Zhen Xin turned to him, her voice serious.
38:23She asked him to promise something.
38:25If they ever went to different colleges,
38:27to focus on his studies, stay out of fights,
38:30and never hurt those who cared about him.
38:33Tai Yu agreed with a solemn nod.
38:35Then, in a move that caught Zhen Xin off guard,
38:37he leaned in and asked for a favor in return.
38:40She braced herself for something serious,
38:43but he just smiled and said,
38:44promise me you'll never mix sesame oil with noodles.
38:48Zhen Xin pretended to be annoyed,
38:51but couldn't help but laugh.
38:52She knew all too well
38:54how she always messed up the noodle orders.
38:56One night, a shooting star blazed across the sky,
38:59and Zhen Xin nudged Tai Yu, urging him to make a wish.
39:03At first, he hesitated,
39:04but then he raised his hand,
39:06silently sending his hope to the stars.
39:09What they didn't know was that Fei Fan
39:11was quietly watching them from behind a tree.
39:14When the school exams wrapped up,
39:16Mei Mei rushed to Zhen Xin with troubling news.
39:19Tai Yu had been missing for over a week
39:21and had even skipped the exams.
39:24Zhen Xin immediately tried calling him that night,
39:26but he didn't answer.
39:28The next day, as Zhen Xin hurried through the school hallways,
39:31she spotted Tai Yu sneaking into the principal's office.
39:34Something in her gut told her she needed to talk to him.
39:37Her heart raced as she followed,
39:39hoping to finally get some answers.
39:41But Tai Yu wasn't having it.
39:42As soon as he saw her,
39:44he tried to avoid her, walking off without a word.
39:47Zhen Xin couldn't let him go that easily.
39:49She blocked his path, her voice shaking with worry.
39:52Why'd you skip the exams?
39:54What's going on?
39:55Tai Yu's response was cold and dismissive.
39:58None of your business, he said,
40:00brushing her off like it was nothing.
40:03Frustration boiled inside her.
40:05She couldn't understand why he was being
40:06so distant and uncooperative.
40:09You always get into fights, don't you?
40:11Zhen Xin blurted out,
40:13unable to hold back her anger anymore.
40:15Tai Yu just stared at her,
40:17completely unfazed by her tears.
40:19His indifference only made her more furious.
40:22With a final tear-filled outburst,
40:24Zhen Xin declared,
40:26I'm done.
40:27We're over.
40:28She turned and walked away,
40:30her heart heavy as their once-close friendship crumbled.
40:33From that moment on,
40:34they passed each other in the hallways.
40:36No words, no eye contact.
40:39It was as if they were strangers.
40:41On her birthday, Zhen Xin returned home,
40:43expecting the usual quiet celebration.
40:46But to her surprise,
40:47there was an Andy Lau cardboard cutout
40:49standing right in front of her house.
40:51At first, she thought it was from Tai Yu,
40:53but then she saw Da He and Sakuragi grinning at her.
40:57They'd set it up as a birthday surprise.
40:59Tai Yu's been intentionally missing,
41:01but he remembered your special day,
41:03Da He said, handing her a gift.
41:06He left something for you,
41:07but you can only open it
41:08after you pass your university exams.
41:10Zhen Xin's eyes lit up.
41:12She blushed, hugging the Andy Lau stand,
41:15feeling a wave of happiness rush over her.
41:18What was in the cassette?
41:19She had no idea, but it was clear
41:21Tai Yu's gift was something she'd never forget.
41:24The next day, Zhen Xin was all set to celebrate
41:27her birthday with her friends during recess.
41:29As she stepped out of the classroom,
41:31she spotted Tai Yu walking by.
41:33Her heart skipped a beat.
41:35Could he be looking for her?
41:36She rushed to meet him,
41:38eager to hear about the gift he had for her.
41:40As they made their way to the rooftop,
41:43chatting about everything and nothing,
41:45Zhen Xin handed him her diary,
41:47asking him to write his bio.
41:49But just as things were getting comfortable,
41:52Min Min appeared out of nowhere,
41:54holding an umbrella.
41:55Tai Yu greeted her with a warm smile and
41:57before Zhen Xin knew it,
41:59he was holding Min Min's hand.
42:01Zhen Xin's excitement quickly turned
42:03into a wave of loneliness and disappointment.
42:06Trying to keep it together,
42:07Zhen Xin asked,
42:09were you looking for me?
42:10Tai Yu hesitated, then dropped the bomb.
42:13Min Min had confessed her feelings for him.
42:16Zhen Xin's heart sank.
42:18She tried her best to hide the tears welling up,
42:20but she could barely manage a weak congratulations.
42:23The truth was Tai Yu didn't look thrilled either
42:26and the moment felt heavy with unspoken words.
42:29Tai Yu, trying to lighten the mood,
42:31suggested she hang out with Fei Fan instead.
42:33But before Zhen Xin could react,
42:35the sky opened up and rain started pouring down.
42:39Min Min popped open her umbrella
42:40and walked over to Tai Yu,
42:42leaving Zhen Xin standing there.
42:44She quickly refused their company,
42:45grabbed her book and bolted.
42:48Tai Yu called after her,
42:49but Zhen Xin didn't stop.
42:51She ran as fast as she could,
42:52desperate to escape the pain,
42:54but in her haste, she slipped.
42:56Tai Yu rushed over to help,
42:58but she waved him off,
42:59tears streaming down her face.
43:01She didn't want him to see her like this.
43:03Once she was alone,
43:04the tears she'd been holding back finally broke free.
43:07The rest of the day was a blur for Zhen Xin.
43:10Her mind was consumed by the pain
43:13and she found herself lost in the keychain
43:15Tai Yu had given her.
43:17Mei Mei popped by with some gossip
43:19about Andy Lau having a girlfriend,
43:21but Zhen Xin wasn't listening.
43:23She couldn't care less about the rumors.
43:25Her heart was still in pieces.
43:28A few days later,
43:29Zhen Xin walked into the classroom,
43:31only to overhear Chia Yi comforting a tearful Min Min.
43:34Apparently, Tai Yu had left the country
43:36right after Min Min confessed her feelings.
43:39Chia Yi warned Min Min to stay away from him,
43:41calling him peculiar.
43:43Zhen Xin froze.
43:45Tai Yu was gone?
43:46She couldn't find him anywhere.
43:48Mei Mei, of course, had more gossip to share,
43:51something about Tai Yu being expelled from school
43:53and then disappearing.
43:54But when Zhen Xin walked into the room,
43:56the chatter came to a sudden halt.
43:58Despite her best efforts to keep it together,
44:01Zhen Xin couldn't shake the emptiness
44:02Tai Yu had left behind.
44:04There were moments when she swore she felt his presence,
44:07like that time she almost got hit by a car.
44:10Only it was Fei Fan who saved her.
44:13He seemed to want to spend time with her,
44:15but Zhen Xin couldn't focus on anything but Tai Yu.
44:19She spent her days roller skating with ND
44:21to distract herself,
44:22but the ache never went away.
44:25Soon enough, though,
44:26Zhen Xin realized something.
44:28Tai Yu had inspired her in ways
44:30she hadn't noticed before.
44:32His absence pushed her to work harder,
44:34to do better in school,
44:35and to become someone she could be proud of.
44:38And somehow,
44:39that was the one thing she knew she'd carry with her.
44:42While digging through her desk,
44:44Zhen Xin stumbled upon a letter.
44:47It had an Andy Lau sticker on it,
44:49just like the curse letter she'd once made.
44:52Curiosity piqued.
44:53She unfolded it carefully and noticed something odd.
44:57The letter was folded in a unique way.
45:00Inside, a simple request.
45:02Would the lovely Zhen Xin be willing to be his friend?
45:06After months of hard work,
45:07Zhen Xin finally passed her university exams.
45:10To celebrate,
45:11Fei Fan, her study buddy,
45:13suggested a casual walk.
45:15As they strolled,
45:16Zhen Xin thanked him for all the help,
45:18especially with math,
45:19a subject she'd struggled with.
45:21Fei Fan, ever thoughtful,
45:23reminded her not to forget the recording
45:25Tai Yu had given him,
45:26a promise he made to Tai Yu.
45:28On a camping trip,
45:29Fei Fan shared something interesting.
45:31He had caught Zhen Xin and Tai Yu hanging out.
45:34Turns out Tai Yu hadn't always liked her.
45:37At first, he'd hated her,
45:38but after reading the curse letter,
45:40Zhen Xin's kindness caught his attention.
45:42In her letter,
45:43she'd apologized and encouraged him
45:44to make better choices in life.
45:46Instead of getting angry,
45:48Tai Yu found himself intrigued,
45:49wanting to get closer to her.
45:51So he decided to become her friend.
45:53Over time,
45:54Tai Yu's feelings for Zhen Xin grew.
45:56He had saved her from drowning in the pool,
45:58acting without hesitation.
46:00When they studied together,
46:01he was so nervous,
46:03eagerly waiting for her to arrive.
46:05It was then that Tai Yu realized
46:07he was falling for her.
46:09Even the near car accident felt like a blessing
46:11because it gave him the chance to hold her close,
46:14feeling her heart race in his arms.
46:17When Min Min entered the picture,
46:18Tai Yu stayed quiet,
46:20not wanting to complicate things with Zhen Xin.
46:23But his silence only made things awkward.
46:25Eventually, Tai Yu opened up.
46:27He admitted that the way he treated Zhen Xin before
46:30was just his way of getting closer to her.
46:33He'd listened to everything she said,
46:35remembered her likes and dislikes.
46:37That's why he'd gotten her the Andy Lau keychain at the store,
46:40though he was too embarrassed to tell her it was from him.
46:43Later, when Zhen Xin casually mentioned it on the phone
46:46that everything was fine,
46:48Tai Yu rushed over to her place,
46:50despite feeling weak.
46:51It hit him.
46:52He had feelings for her,
46:53but he couldn't confess
46:55because he knew she had feelings for Fei Fan.
46:57Still, he secretly hoped she'd include him in her wishes
47:00when she saw a shooting star.
47:02He'd even shared Zhen Xin's habits with Fei Fan,
47:05trying to get closer to her.
47:07Tai Yu knew Zhen Xin wanted to study at Taiwan University,
47:10but struggled with math.
47:11So he made her study notes,
47:13leaving them with Fei Fan
47:14to make it look like Fei Fan had helped her.
47:17Fei Fan couldn't hold back
47:18as he shared the story of his last encounter with Tai Yu,
47:21and it hit Zhen Xin like a ton of bricks.
47:24During their camping trip,
47:25Tai Yu had secretly gone overseas for surgery
47:28after getting wrecked by a series of accidents.
47:31Getting hit by a car,
47:32slamming his head while roller skating,
47:34and pushing himself way too hard with 50 laps
47:37that ended up causing blood clots in his brain.
47:40Tai Yu had kept all of this from Zhen Xin,
47:42not wanting to burden her.
47:44But when she saw him fighting recently,
47:47it was only because he wanted to protect her.
47:50Zhen Xin had no idea,
47:51and the truth left her heartbroken.
47:53She regretted not knowing earlier,
47:55but now it was too late to turn back.
47:57Later that night,
47:58Zhen Xin found herself sitting on the same bench
48:00where she and Tai Yu used to roller skate together.
48:03She put on her headphones and played a message from him.
48:06As Tai Yu's voice filled her ears,
48:08emotions flooded over her.
48:10Tai Yu had always believed Zhen Xin was happy with Fei Fan
48:14while he was off with Min Min,
48:16both of them helping each other chase after their crushes.
48:19When Zhen Xin turned around,
48:21she was shocked to see Tai Yu sitting beside her.
48:24He gave her that same familiar smile,
48:26then confessed with a mix of sincerity and teasing,
48:30You're short, sometimes silly, and like other people,
48:34but I still like you.
48:36Hearing that, tears instantly welled up in Zhen Xin's eyes.
48:40Tai Yu's voice crackled
48:41as he encouraged her to look up at the night sky,
48:44telling her he'd be gazing at the same stars too.
48:47He finished the message with a simple, heartfelt,
48:50I love you.
48:51Fast forward, and we see Zhen Xin at a turning point.
48:54It's a night like any other,
48:55but everything feels different.
48:57As she listens to Tai Yu's message again,
49:00she flips open her diary and sees his name.
49:02A spark of determination lights inside her
49:05the next day Zhen Xin walks into her boss's office,
49:08holding her resignation letter
49:10like it's the boldest move she's ever made.
49:12Her colleagues are stunned.
49:14They're used to her quietly taking orders,
49:16but today she's different.
49:18Today she feels proud, but not everyone is on board.
49:22When Zhen Xin gets home, her boyfriend is furious.
49:25He's worried about the financial mess this could cause.
49:28He's scared for the future.
49:30But Zhen Xin, standing her ground,
49:32tells him it's time for them to part ways.
49:35She's not backing down.
49:37Zhen Xin is a huge fan of Andy Lau,
49:39and when she finally gets the chance to see him in person,
49:42she's a mix of nervousness and disbelief.
49:45After all these years, he's still at the top of his game.
49:48But as much as she admires him,
49:50she can't help but feel a little frustrated.
49:53She's never been able to get a ticket to see him live.
49:56Zhen Xin walks around the concert area,
49:58her eyes following the lucky fans
50:00who managed to snag tickets.
50:02She sighs and settles for snapping a photo
50:04with Andy Lau's poster,
50:06letting his songs play from her phone.
50:09It's not the same, but it'll do.
50:11Just as she's lost in the music,
50:13a man walks into the shop
50:14and a keychain drops at his feet.
50:17He picks it up, notices it's hers,
50:19and approaches with the keychain in hand.
50:21Zhen Xin turns around, expecting just another customer,
50:24but wait, it's Andy Lau standing right in front of her.
50:28Andy gives her a calm gesture,
50:30telling her not to freak out.
50:31He's taking a break from the spotlight
50:33and doesn't want any attention.
50:35Zhen Xin tries to play it cool,
50:37acting like she's not a fan,
50:38but her cover's blown
50:39when she accidentally pulls out her earphones
50:42and Andy's own voice fills the air.
50:44She quickly stammers,
50:45saying a friend downloaded the song for her.
50:49Not the best excuse, Zhen Xin.
50:51She then tries to show off another song to cover up,
50:54but uh-oh, it's a selfie
50:56with Andy's poster in the background.
50:58To her surprise, Andy laughs it off and isn't bothered.
51:02He even asks if they can snap a picture together.
51:05Zhen Xin's heart skips a beat.
51:07She can barely contain her happiness as they pose,
51:11her smile stretching from ear to ear.
51:13This is the moment.
51:15As Andy starts to leave,
51:16Zhen Xin stops him, holding her breath.
51:19Can I have your autograph, she asks,
51:21even though she's been pretending not to be a fan.
51:23Andy's eyebrow raises in surprise,
51:25but he agrees, signing it to Lin Truly.
51:29He then asks if she was at his concert
51:31and Zhen Xin awkwardly admits
51:33she missed it because the tickets were sold out.
51:35But Andy's got her back.
51:37He hands her a number to call for help,
51:39telling her she can reach out anytime.
51:42Zhen Xin is on cloud nine.
51:44Later that night, Zhen Xin stands outside the concert venue,
51:47dialing the number Andy gave her,
51:49introducing herself as Lin Truly.
51:52To her surprise, it's Tai Yu on the other end,
51:55casually greeting her with a reference
51:57to an old game they used to play.
51:59Zhen Xin is speechless for a second,
52:01but then she hears Andy Lau's voice
52:03booming from the big screen,
52:05inviting her to join the concert.
52:07The show's about to start,
52:08and it's dedicated to people who love someone deeply,
52:12just like his friend,
52:13who made a promise to his first love.
52:16Tears well up in Zhen Xin's eyes
52:18as she hears those words.
52:19The concert's not just about music,
52:22it's about love.
52:23Overcome with emotion, she turns to Tai Yu.
52:26He asks why she's not inside the concert yet.
52:29With a sad sigh, she tells him
52:30she doesn't have a ticket.
52:32Tai Yu, being the problem solver he is,
52:34grins and comes up with a plan.
52:36He's got an old trick up his sleeve.
52:38He grabs some materials
52:39and creates a makeshift Andy Lau concert poster.
52:43The two share a laugh
52:44as they reminisce about the old days,
52:46Tai Yu's promise, and their friendship.
52:49With that, Tai Yu walks Zhen Xin inside
52:51to experience the concert of a lifetime,
52:54fulfilling both his promise
52:55and his dream of seeing Zhen Xin's happiness firsthand.
52:59So the moral of the story is,
53:01if you ever meet your idol,
53:02maybe don't pretend you're not a fan.
53:05Your earphones will give you away every time.
