"Subtle Love" by SpeXial

Moon River Episode 22

Xiao Xi.

Are you okay?

Senior Che.

I have always thought that

I can pay any price to support him,

but I realized I can't.

Xiao Xi.

I really think I'm ugly.

Even if I put on makeup,

it can't cover the ugliness I have inside of me.

I really don't have

the ability to not worry about this situation.

If makeup makes you uncomfortable, then go back to your regular self.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Street Fighter Girl Team @ Viki

In relationships, you don't need to put on makeup.

You don't need an honorable reason, either.

But... - Xiao Xi,

just convey your true feelings,

and whatever happens next will be none of your business.

I will help you make Ah Bing stay.

No. I really...

Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi!

Xiao Xi!

Ah Bing, what exactly are you doing?

You have something to say?

Something to say? You asked her out to dinner

just to tell her that you are going to America to work with Coco

and will leave her here? This is too much.

Che, what am I supposed to do?

What is the most important thing to you?

Surely it's not success, fame,

or money. If so, you are no longer the Mu Liu Bing I know.

I want to use this chance to test my potential. She should be able to trust me.

This has nothing to do with trust.

A love that is built on a cliff is completely unfair.

She is really worried about accidentally losing you.

Can't you just see if from her perspective?

Oh. I probably don't understand.

It's not that you don't understand. It's that you are selfish.

You aren't me. How can you say that so easily?

If I were you, I would definitely stay for Xiao Xi.

No matter the amount of fortune, you can't buy happiness.

Don't you have a deep understanding and experience of this?

Rui Xi, thank you.

Don't thank me. It's nothing.

I made you spend money to treat me to a feast again.

No...

It's common courtesy for a guy to pay when he goes out to eat with a girl.

It's okay.

It's so great to have you around to chat with me these days.

Thank you.

You don't need to keep thanking me

because I am also very happy to be able to chat with you.

But, I did tell your girlfriend ahead of time.

What? What girlfriend?

Report?

Hao Xue, who are you looking for?

None of the others are around.

Then why are you here?

Don't tell me you moved here, too.

No, I'm here to practice cooking.

That way, I can have more things to talk about with my boyfriend.

Here, come in. Welcome.

Oh, yeah. I prepared two presents.

One is for Xiao Xi, and one is for thanking Rui Xi.

Oh, I can give Rui Xi's to him.

Thank you.

I never thought you guys would be this quick in your relationship.

That's right. Actually, our love was established by ginger ducks.

He is a really cute guy.

That's great. I'm envious of you.

Doesn't that mean I can't call him out to chat anymore?

That would upset you.

That's okay. I won't get jealous. I know that he likes you a lot,

but I know even more clearly that you wouldn't like him back,

so you can chat with him with no worries. Really.

But...

But? But what?

This is a secret between girls. I can't tell you.

Oh, my god. Why did you send this devil to my life?

Hey, at least you're very happy. Don't be so greedy.

I'm envious of Lucy. She's so brave.

If I had at least half of her bravery, that would be great.

Hao Xue, you don't need to worry.

I believe in you and I will always support you. You can do it!

Lin Rui Xi, you are really my best friend.

I'm so happy to have a friend like Rui Xi in my life.

I'll be sure to cherish that

because if someone is willing to give to you, it's always a form of happiness.

It's something that should be cherished.

Xiao Xi.

Senior Che.

Thank you for taking me home yesterday.

Are you feeling better? You scared me yesterday.

I think it's because I've been working on homework and working lately,

and I was a little too tired, so I got sick.

Then just take a break. - No.

If I can study, I should take the chance to do it,

just in case I might regret it later when it becomes useful.

Then don't work. I can help you.

That is no good, either.

I still need to work and help out at home...

and Skating Grandma.

Even though the current situation isn't looking very optimistic,

I can't just simply accept defeat.

You were already defeated by your body by not taking care of it yesterday.

Xiao Xi. I'll help you apply for absence, okay?

I really don't need it. Thank you, Senior Che.

I need to get to work now.

Senior, goodbye.

You really want to sleep in the living room? I'm okay.

Are you sure you want to sleep like that?

I'm not sleeping. I'm practicing martial arts.

Isn't this too much? Since you're going to practice until morning, why would you put these bowls here?

If one accidentally spilled, the whole bed would be wet.

Then be more careful.

Who sleeps while being careful?

Then let's practice together.

Skating Grandma! - Hey!

Concentrate on your martial arts, or else you'll be possessed.

Xiao Xi,

trust me. No amount of distance can come in between our promise.

President.

You came back. Where were you these previous days?

Xiao Xi was really sad.

I'm glad you're back.

I just came back to get my luggage. I need to go to America.

America? Wow, you are really incredible.

No wonder you are the Elite Union president. You're already successful before graduation.

That's really incredible.

America? For how many days? What about Xiao Xi?

Xiao Xi is going to be really sad.

President, think it over. You have to consider carefully.

Lin Rui Xi,

this is for you.

This is the president badge of Elite Union.

But why are you giving it to me? Could it be—

If I really don't come back, keep it as a souvenir.

Try your best to really become the president.

Hello?

Yeah?

Really?!

Sure,

okay.

Okay, I see.

Bye.

Plans can never keep up with changes.

The bargaining chip we have on hand is growing bigger and bigger.

I'm so sorry.

I'm really sorry. She's sick.

Boss, I can do it.

Okay, just go home.

Just go home, okay? I'll do it.

But if I take a break, I don't get money.

Okay,

I won't take it from your pay. I won't count today as an absence.

Count it as a special day off. Hurry and go home.

Okay? - Really?

Really, really, really.

Thank you, boss. - No need.

Then hurry back. - Then I'll be going...

I'm sorry.

I apologize.

This motorcycle is 1450cc.

Harley.

Hello?

Xiao Xi, something bad happened. President is going to America.

You should hurry back. Hurry.

No! You can't leave.

Skating Grandma!

Min Rong, what do we do? How can we help Xiao Xi?

What to do? If I were Senior Bing, I would've left with Coco, too.

What to do?

Hey, be quiet. How can you say that?

What if Xiao Xi heard? That would be bad.

Skating Grandma!

Xiao Xi.

Skating Grandma,

you...

You really left without saying anything.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't keep him here.

Xiao Xi, just forget it. Be more positive.

We were different from them to start with.

It's better to get out of the fantasy now than never.

This is something that would've happened sooner or later, anyway.

Stop saying that.

President is only going to America for a few days. He will come back soon.

Stop lying to yourself. Does it really matter how long he's going to be gone?

The problem is that Senior Bing left with Coco, alright?

Who knows if they are going to stay in America or not?

What if they get married and never come back?
