Review... "Where the water ends,"

"the end is not seen, and the water is not seen."

"But there is a faint scent..."

"You feel the chill in your eyes, in your ears, and in your clothes."

Your photo fell out of the book.

Did you not recognize these people in the photo? That man is you!

The woman in the picture is my elder sister. She's your girlfriend who's been missing for three years.

You don't recognize her at all?

"You are the source of the spring, and I am the ripples in the spring."

"We get off to a chilly beginning,"

"and we wind up in a chilly end."

He's forgotten my sister because of his car accident. But what about me?

I've decided to go to Yilan

to help Xiang Shu Lei remember my sister again.

"Adorn musical notes with innumerable hearts."

"Separate the seasons into musical phrases."

"As two musical notes collide by accident,"

"sparks start to fly."

Lovestore at the Corner Book #4

If you've been to so many different places, why do you stay here now?

If I had money,

I would have travelled around the world a long time now.

You've asked me that questions too many times. I have answered you many times as well.

It's because I like this place that you call boring.

I don't believe it.

It's just because you're bankrupt. You don't have any money so you're hiding here.

Alright. Let's consider as if you're right.

How about it... But a book.

You want to trick me again to buy a book.

I can't afford it.

So cheap and you can't afford it?

I really can't afford it.

I'm trying to earn money to leave this run-down place.

A second-hand book is really expensive.

You don't even have a coin?!

So cheap?!

You didn't see the dot.

Pay me.

I'll buy 10 books. Don't need the change.

These 10 books. Bye bye!

Bye!

Here.

A bet is a bet. I'll pay.

You really found a good buyer.

No wonder why you put a bet with me.

But you too are good.

You suffered losses for the bet.

Is it worth it?

Mrs Chen, I called the cab for you.

It's 502, in five minutes.

Well, after taking a look around what do you think?

It's OK.

As long as my young son can enter here,

it's fine.

Mrs, you don't need to worry about that.

The Four Heavenly Kings of Cram are all here.

You wouldn't be treated any better even if you went to Hung Hom.

Ke Xing! Ke Xing , come over here.

Quickly!

What is it? Chairman is looking for you.

Chairman? Exactly.

Why is he looking for a simple employee like me?

How would I know? What on earth did you do wrong?

Quickly, he's looking for you . . . Did wrong?

Xiao Ying, pour some water for Mrs Chen and her son.

No need to hurry.

Quickly! What is that behaviour of yours?!

You don't even recognize Miss Bai who's such an important customer!

She's Councillor Jiang's daughter!

"The spots are filled" and "come back next time"?

Even if we were full, you couldn't think of anything?!

Even if you had to have the teacher come in and show her one by one,

that would be fine!

Didn't I already tell you earlier

that Councillor Jiang's daughter would be here for an audition on the 3rd of the month?

Who are you looking at?! I'm talking to you, so who are you looking at?

Look at me when I'm talking to you!

Director! - You represent the entire company when you receive guests!

Where did you find this idiot to work here?

Director Cai Xing Guo! You'd better be clear about things before you start scolding someone!

Do you even know what my name is?

I don't need to know what your name is.

You don't need a name to greet and present!

Go ahead and repeat those words you were just saying!

Otherwise, you'd better apologize to me!

Apologize?!

You want me to apologize to you?!

You'd better listen up. I'm just a lowly worker here who answers the phone.

When would I be meeting any important customers?

Greetings? Fees? What does that have to do with me?!

That stuff is handled by the business department, not me!

Do you still think that I offended some councilman's aunt or grandma or daughter?

So... So I scolded the wrong person, so what?!

I'm the director of the Cram School Kingdom! So what if I yell at the wrong person a few times?

Why do you have so much to say?!

Guo, on the 3rd,

the person in charge of admitting Ms. Bai was your crush, Yu Mei, wasn't it?

I wasn't the one in charge of admitting Ms. Bai!

Ke Xing, don't be so impulsive. I'll go with you later to apologize to the Director.

Just say that you were a bit rude because you're going through a break-up.

Me, rude? It's because he was wrong!

Why should I have to apologize?! That's ridiculous.

Don't be so angry.

If you stay angry, your body won't be able to recuperate.

When I'm not here in the future, don't forget to eat.

You're skinny enough as it is. Stop dieting.

No... But I guess lately, my stomach is a bit smaller.

By the way, what are you planning to do from now on?

Hey, didn't your boyfriend want you to take the civil service exam?

My sister passed the test last year.

I'll ask her what you should get to study for it,

and we can go buy the books after I get off work.

Buy books?

Xiao Ying, thank you!

Ke Xing.

Are you okay?

I'm great.

Li Ze Xuan, you don't even know how amazing your girlfriend is.

I didn't just argue with that unfair and stupid director

who just randomly scolds people.

Before I left, I even left him in my shadow!

So?

Having a girlfriend like me sure gives you face, doesn't it?

I'm sure it doesn't feel good to be misunderstood.

Ke Xing, even though I like when you're brave and strong,

but I'm worried that you're hurt inside.

Tell me about it, I'm willing to listen.

OK, let's go back to the car first.

Let's go.

What's wrong with him? He yelled at me like I was a dog.

He doesn't even understand the situation and yells at me.

Why do I have to take over for a ghost?

I'm also born and raised by my parents.

So, in the future when we become the boss

we can't become an asshole like him.

Don't be angry anymore.

Here. I'll let you passionately cry on my chest.

I will comfort you.

This will always be your haven.

Li Ze Xuan, where did you learn those words from?

That kind of stuff isn't in your business magazines and inspirational books, right?

Yesterday, I went to the bathroom

and I saw it in my older sister's novel.

Don't girls all like that kind of stuff?

Something about having a haven to cry in..?

So you're OK now?

I'm fine.

OK, that's good.

So... What are you going to do about work now?

I'm going to rely on you.

OK... I guess I can just eat a little less,

work a few more jobs - and I don't need to eat dinner.

And... I can go to a fast food place, the gas station...

I'm just kidding!

But I can do it.

I know you could, but I was kidding.

But you should be happy right now.

Because I've decided to work on our Grand Plans for Happiness.

I'm going down to Yilan to deal with Xiang Shu Lei.

For my sister, and for our 20 million.

Wait a minute, you just said you're going to go to Yilan?

Doesn't that mean we won't get to see each other often anymore?

Yilan's not even that far away.

When you miss me, you can come find me anytime.

Wait. Do you have a concrete plan yet?

You're alone? Where's the owner of this bookstore?

He's not in.

He just left the store alone like this?

That's right. He does it all the time.

He's not afraid that a thief might come in and rob everything,

or that there might be a customer?

So are you here to steal or buy a book?

Neither.

Really? Then help yourself, I'm busy.

Shouldn't you be in school at this time?

What are you doing here?

It's...

It's... It's just like that.

Oh... You're skipping class.

Is it popular nowadays for kids to skip class to go to the bookstore?

You said she likes eating apples, right?

He has a poem called "Peeling an Apple."

Memorize it and recite it to her. I'm sure she'll really like it.

Boss...don't you have some other better ideas?

Like...catching a movie or going shopping.

"Bell"

"Introduction to Ancient Phonology"

"Zheng Chou Yu's Poems Collection"

"Irrational old baby"

What are you writing?

What do you want? You shocked me.

So? Picking out a poem to give to that girl?

Another poem?

Will she really like it?

Let me tell you,

the method that the boss showed you before isn't strange at all.

Otherwise, why is there a saying that "girls always love poetry."

Why did you eavesdrop on others?
