Rattan (司藤)

I didn't take away Kong Jinghua's power.

I know.

I went there.

It's not because I wanted to patch up their mother-daughter relationship.

I know. You merely are your innocent self.

This is also what you hope, too.

Also, I was anxious to rush back

because before you grow old,

I wanted to say something to you. - I love you, too.

You indeed know everything.

Then you should know,

don't plan to do anything foolish.

I don't want the power

in your body.

I promise you that I will let you become a complete person.

I won't eat my words.

I've lived two lives. All the choices

were made by me.

I will bear responsibility for my consequences, too.

Si Teng, I...

A long time ago, someone gave me a seed.

It's said to represent hope.

I didn't understand the meaning. Until now I realize,

this was the yearning I left to you.

What is this?

A seed.

Every seed is a wish.

As long as there's hope in your heart,

your days won't be that difficult.

Remember this. When the sweet water drops descend,

the borage sprouts, the heart does not wither,

but will come back to life.

Qin Fang,

thank you.

Being able to meet you,

makes it worth having walked twice in this world.

Previously, you said this.

You said that one must live

with a yearning.

I will leave this yearning for you.

Live your own life.

Qin Fang.

Qin Fang?

I don't know what's going on, either.

Miss Si Teng entrusted a dream to me.

She wanted you to take good care of Xixi.

Then when I opened my eyes, this girl stood in front of my bed looking at me.

Qin Fang, are you going to sell me?

Qin Fang, if you sell me, I won't like you anymore. I will never like you in this lifetime.

You guys are here.

It's normal for a child to be shy with strangers.

Look at how pretty our Xixi is.

It doesn't concern you whether I'm pretty or not.

Look at this girl. You will suffer in the future.

That's right.

Stop standing here. Let's go in the house and sit.

Come, quickly.

What do you think of the courtyard?

It's a beautiful house.

There's even a swing there. - Look.

When Xixi is unhappy, you can play with the swing. - That's right.

Okay?

Xixi, let's play with it now. Okay?

Okay, fine. Don't be afraid.

Xixi. Xixi?

Do you want to take a look at your room?

I prepared extremely beautiful Barbie dolls in there for you.

There are many beautiful dresses, too.

You may like them. Do you want to take a look?

Let's go take a look. Okay?

Come, let's go. This way, please.

Come.

Come over here.

Look at your beautiful room.

Come, this way. Come take a look.

Look! This room is prepared for Xixi.

Look at these toys and dolls. We bought these for her.

By the way,

look! We bought these dresses for you, too.

Look. Is it pretty?

Do you like this room? Is it pretty?

Do you like it, Xixi?

Xixi will stay here in the future. Okay?

That's great. Come here, Xixi. - It's great that you like this.

Let me carry you.

Our Xixi is so pretty. Come!

Sit on your pink bed.

Look! This is a Barbie doll.

I bought this for you. Do you think it's pretty?

Come, hold this. We can make clothes for her later. Okay?

Look, there's another.

Come, is it pretty?

Do you like it?

Your father especially went to the mall to buy this for you. Is it pretty?

We will make dresses for her later. Okay?

Come, let's swing.

Come, Xixi. Is it pretty?

Is it fun, Xixi?

Are you happy, Xixi?

Let me see your smile, Xixi.

Miss Si Teng looked like this when she was young?

She's adorable.

If there was no Qiu Shan back then,

she would have grown up without any worries like this.

Fang, you may not like to hear this.

Even without my master,

she was living in those troubled times.

She still would have grown up with wars and killings.

Compared to the children now,

born under the red flag and growing up in a new China,

this is carefree.

Yes. She had no other choices at that time.

A pity that Miss Si Teng

still doesn't have the luck to enjoy the current life;

she just left this little Xixi.

Will you still go to the orphanage?

I like children.

Okay, I will keep in contact with you.

Where are you going next?

Where else can I go? Of course, to find her.

Flying. Flying up. One, two, three.

Qin Fang! Qin Fang!

Qin Fang! Qin Fang!

Qin Fang! Qin Fang!

Qin Fang, are you going to sell me?

That's right.

Tell me yourself. Did I get you a good buyer?

Very good. Father and Mother are excellent.

Everything is excellent.

But I still want to come here to see you.

Sure. Come here anytime.

I will wait for you.

Xixi! It's time to eat!

I'm coming.

Morning, Dad. Morning, Mom.

Wow, so many yummy dishes!

Come, eat quickly.

Eat a lot, Xixi.

Xixi, it's almost your 20th birthday.

What present do you want?

I haven't lacked anything since I was little.

Therefore, I don't want a birthday present.

How is that okay? Your 20th birthday is a big birthday. - That's right.

We will definitely grant your wish.

She's right.

Really? - Yes!

That's right. When have we lied to you?

Anything is okay?

Tell us.

Dad, can you

organize a trip for me to meet Uncle Qin Fang?

Qin Fang? You haven't mentioned him

in all these years.

We thought you'd forgotten about him long ago.

He's the first person I met since I have my memories.

How could I forget about him?

However, don't worry. I will forever be you and Mom's daughter.

It's part of human nature that

I want to know where I actually came from.

Also, I really want to know

when my actual birthday is.

Xixi, after Qin Fang sent you over here,

he contacted me once soon after and that was the last time.

However he told me that if you really want to find out,

he told me to give you this slip of paper.

There's an address on it.

He also told me that if you must find him,

you must go alone. - That's not okay! How can Xixi go that far alone?

What if something happens to her?

There are so many bad guys nowadays. I don't agree.

I also worry about that. However, Qin Fang said

if someone accompanies Xixi, she won't be able to find him.

Mom, it's fine.

I'm almost twenty.

Can I not even travel by myself?

No, you're going to worry me to death.

But Xixi, have you thought of a possibility?

You came to this household when you were five.

This means that fifteen years have already passed.

The address on the paper

is already fifteen years old.

That's right. Xixi, think about it.

Now is not the past. Think about how slow the past was.

After ten or twenty years, aside from people growing older,

nothing else has changed.

But now, it's very different.
