Flowers in Fog

Episode 1

An ancient castle by the seaside in the West of France

Maria!

Maria!

Maria!

Angel,

In the Snow play

we were hand in hand,

stepping into our death.

It had touched a lot of people.

However, in reality things aren't the same.

Many years had passed,

the images of that Snow play

kept replaying in my sight.

Helped me to stand tall until today.

Angel, I'm sorry!

You once fully trusted in me,

but I've disappointed you!

Good morning, Old Master Qi!

Be aware with thing that requires attention.

Ring me immediately if anything happens here.

Understand?

Yes!

Ye Fan (Huo Hua)

Hello!

Excuse me, where is the register office for new student?

Over there!

Thank you!

Come on, come on!

Come on Qi Fei!

Come on, come on!

Qi Fei, come on!

Come on, come on!

Nice shot!

Come on, come on!

Come on, Qi Fei!

Nice, nice!

Qi Fei, seem like you're here already!

Excuse me, please make way!

I'm going to be late!

What's the matter with you?

I'm dragging along such a big suitcase,

didn't you see me?

We were playing basketball.

It was you who hastily ran through the court.

You're blaming me?

If it wasn't for me who caught you in time,

you properly fell and had a bleeding head by now.

I don't have time to argue with you.

My flight in today was delayed,

couldn't catch a taxi.

Still have a bundle of paperwork,

yet had to bump into a short sighted person like you.

Where is the class for Classical music?

So, you are a new student joining in this Spring.

Are you planning to drag that luggage into class too?

Why not?

I still haven't found an accommodation yet.

I'm asking you,

where is the Classical music class?

You bumped into me,

haven't said a single sorry,

now you want me to show you to your class?

You better leave here quickly,

we are playing basketball here.

Basketball!

You called that playing basketball?

So talented!

So skillful!

Very skillful

Can't really imagine it.

Not bad at all!

Yes, so great!

Very talented!

Not bad!

Very impressive!

I can't believe it!

Basketball!

So great!

Very skillful!

You are so petite,

how could you be so skillful with basketball?

Basketball skill?

Easy!

Alright then,

now can you tell me where is the classroom?

Classical Music class,

is on the second floor, in that building,

third room on the right.

You're doomed!

Turning up late for Professor Qi's Classical Music class.

Haven't you register yet?

Help me look after my luggage.

After class, I will look for you here.

Thank you so much!

I will register after class finish.

Don't go and hire from me now!

Thanks!

Look at me,

do I look like a butler in charge of luggages?

I'm clearly the captain of the student association.

Why do I have to be servant to some stranger?

Look at this bundle here!

Take good care of my luggage!

I have interest in that new student.

Leave her to you then.

Very logic!

Every music composers

all carried a history about themselves.

Their background, their experiences,

everything all contributed

into their music works later.

Whether its excitement,

harmonious, powerful

or sophisticate,

it's not only about the music,

but it's about

a world of emotion within the composer.

Sorry, I'm late!

So sorry!

Sorry, I'm sorry!

Sorry!

What is your name?

Don't you know,

I don't like student turning up late for my class.

I'm a new student,

my name is Ye Fan.

I just arrived from Shanghai,

haven't adjusted to the time changes yet.

Professor Qi, I'm very sorry!

It's Ye Fan right?

I'm already half way through the lesson,

you weren't here to listen.

So I'm presuming

you must know the basic already.

And think it's not important to be at my class from the start.

I never have that intention.

Sorry to bother!

I'm looking for a new student.

You are such a careless hasty,

mind your own luggage.

I need to go and join the choir group later.

Take it!

Settle!

What kind of scene is this?

Ran in here to mess up the class!

This is ridiculous!

Qi Fei!

Yes.

What are you doing?

Did you co-operate with this new student

to pull a prank in my class?

Deliberately wanted to spoil my lesson.

She is a new student, might not know the rules,

but don't you know the rules as well?

Alright then,

since you stepped into my class,

that makes you one of my student now.

You stay there and participate in my class,

do not go anywhere.

Ye Fan!

Qi Fei!
