Review... I don't want that!

Review... What day and age is it to go on a blind date?

If you were to wait until I'm fifty when I'm all old and ugly, would you still like me then?

I'm going to take a look over there.

Yang Mu's poetry.

"Allow me to compare you to the return of the cool summer sea breeze."

"An emerald-colored handkerchief adorned with white lace,"

"not embroidered with soldiers, but with six fishing boats."

When you read it aloud, your voice sounds very pretty.

Go ahead and try reading it out loud.

"The war did not change us,"

"so no other setbacks need change you."

How does that feel?

It feels like a heavy thing on my chest has been lifted.

Didn't you think that the owner looked very familiar?

I found it!

"Do not feel sorrowful."

"Tears are meant for others, not to be spent on yourself." (Hulian, by Yang Mu)

We Shouldn’t, by Sun Sheng Xi

Lovestore at the Corner Book #3

I seem to have mistaken that person.

I'm sorry... Causing you to come here all for nothing.

How was this all for nothing?

Look! We have a clue now! He lives in Hualian.

He grew up near that air force base.

Even though I didn't go to Hualian for my military service,

I really was in the air force.

The single-engine biplane he mentioned

is a very ancient airplane.

I really don't have an impression of what it looks like.

He said it as if it were real.

I think his way of speaking is very strange.

Then how are we to know if he's Yang Mo Cheng or Xiang Shu Lei?

We can go to Hualian!

What?

Th...This is very ancient.

It is very old.

When I was younger, in Hualian,

I clearly saw these types of planes flying overhead in the sky.

Our field was big, but there weren't a lot of students.

We don't know who noticed it first,

but the biplane looked like a giant dragonfly.

It flew all the way from the sea.

The principal and the teachers weren't able to control us.

We were all chasing to get the things falling out of that plane.

Do you guys know what fell out from that air plane?

The mayoral candidate's campaign flyers.

He used a plane to distribute flyers?

That day, everyone folded those flyers into paper airplanes.

This is the only air force base that is in this area.

If he didn't lie, then it must be this one.

But there's not a single person here.

Who are we supposed to ask?

There's a person, we can ask him.

Mister.

Sorry to bother you, but do you work here?

Why are you asking like that?

Oh, we just wanted to ask about the single-engine biplane in the air force base.

Single-engine biplane?

Yeah, a single-engine biplane.

Do people here use the plane to distribute flyers?

Oh, that happened so many years ago.

Who uses planes to distribute flyers nowadays?

So...there really used to be people who used airplanes to send out messages?

Then... Then how many years ago was this?

It seemed to have happened during the first year that I came to work here.

At that time, every few days there would be air planes sending messages down.

All the little kids used those messages and turned them into paper airplanes.

Throwing them here and there, the whole ground was covered with it.

I was never done sweeping them.

Mister, can I ask,

how long have you been working here?

About 42 years, I guess.

42 years...

So tired...

When I was younger, in Hualian, I clearly saw these single-engine biplanes flying overhead in the sky.

Mister, can I ask,

how long have you been working at this school?

About 42 years.

42 years...

He clearly wasn't even born yet.

So now, who else is there to help us figure out whether or not Yang Mo Cheng is Xiang Shu Lei?

Hey, send me the pictures you took of Xiang Shu Lei today at the bookstore.

Excuse me, sorry to bother to,

may I ask if you are Xiang Shu Li's relative?

Here, this is another copy.

Next time, don't forget.

OK, I know.

Quickly go to class.

Yes, thank you Ke Xing.

Where...did you find him?

In half an hour, I'll be waiting for you at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Station.

Ke Xing!

This is the contact info for the student yesterday who was on probation.

Make a phone call. Get the report done in three days.

OK, I got it.

The money... - OK.

It hurts!

What's wrong?

What's the matter?

My stomach really hurts.

You were fine just a second ago. Why does it hurt now?

I've had diarrhea since yesterday.

Cover your mouth...

Have you caught that stomach flu that's been going around lately?

Did you get it?

If you caught it, take a leave immediately.

With so many students here, you're sure to infect a lot of people.

Hurry up, 3 minutes. Take your leave.

Hurry up!

Where did you take this picture?

First you have to tell me,

is he your brother, Xiang Shu Lei?

Yes, he is my older brother.

Are you positive?

So...

where did you find him?

I found him at a small bookstore in Yilan.

But, he said he's Yang Mo Cheng.

He says he's from Hualian.

Then there's no mistake about it.

After he got into a car accident, he didn't remember who he was anymore.

He didn't recognize his family, and he didn't want to go home.

My mother helped him find another residence.

And then there was one day

when he suddenly told me, he was Yang Mo Cheng.

And he grew up in Hualian.

After he told us he was going back to Hualian,

he disappeared.

We desperately searched for him,

and in turn, he would keep moving.

No matter what, he wouldn't ever meet with us.

In the end...

We decided we wouldn't keep provoking him.

Maybe if he lived a quiet life,

he would be able to regain his memories.

Right now...

We can only check his bank account every month

to see if he's living comfortably.

So what are you looking for him for?

I have something I want to ask him.

Can I know what you want to ask about?

My name is Du Ke Xing.

Three years ago, your brother was dating a girl.

Her name was Du Ke Jie.

She's my sister.

She's gone missing.

So you're looking for my brother...

because you want to ask about your sister?

I want to know what happened between them

before my sister went missing.

If it's possible,

I'd like that you not bother my brother anymore.

When he left,

it took our family a long time

to accept this as a reality.

Right now, things are still calm.

As long as he's living well,

spending his days as he likes,

whether or not he returns isn't important.

So I ask of you,

please don't interfere with our family matters anymore.

Mr. Xiang Shu Hao,

the reason your family can be at peace

is because you know where Xiang Shu Lei is!

But my sister?

She's been missing for three years!

She's like a big question mark

living in all of our hearts.

Even if I can't find her,

I'm going to find out what the truth is!

Are you done yet?

OK.

Yu Guang Zhong's poetry is very sonorous and forceful.

Reading it out loud is very attractive.

You said she like's eating apples, right?

He has a poem called, "Peeling Apples."

You can memorize it and recite it to her.

I bet she'll really like it.

Mister, don't you have a more normal method?

Like going to a movie or shopping somewhere...

You already know about the normal methods.

So what are you asking me for?

Forget it.

You're clearly trying to turn me into a weirdo.

What age is this, to be reciting poetry...

The way I see it, you're just trying to sell these books that no one wants.

Well I'll tell you, we high schoolers aren't that easily fooled.

This...

Mister.

What are you doing here again?

I can't come here?

Of course you can.
