The Vigilantes in Masks (怪侠一枝梅)

Storm in.

Apart from Li Ge Xiao and Zheng Dong Liu,

kill everybody else!

Yes!

Where's Li Ge Xiao? Careful!

Listen! If I do not come out,

within the time that one incense stick is burnt,

then storm in,

and kill everybody here!

Don't you want to kill me?

I'm giving you an opportunity to kill me now,

why don't you kill me?!

You worthless piece of trash!

I'm not a worthless piece of trash!

You are!

Five years ago

I thought you didn't serve officials here?

It doesn't count as business if I don't charge you for the food.

Excuse me,

where does Miss Jing live? The one who sells noodles?

Continue to walk straight in that direction.

Then turn left, and after turning 2 more corners, you'll be there.

Oh, just after 2 corners? Yes. Over there?

Alright, thanks.

You're welcome.

Why are you here?

I'm here to catch some thieves. There's lots of thieves around here.

Catching thieves?

Oh.. so that's it.

Yes.

Here, thank you.

You're welcome.

You've come to arrest thieves again?

I'm not arresting anybody. I've come especially, to eat noodles.

But there's so many noodle stalls around here,

why must you eat at this stall?

How to say it?

After eating here last time,

I felt that the noodles here are especially fragrant, especially delicious.

So I decided to come again.

The taste of the noodles at this stall, is dependent on the person eating it.

The better the person, the better the noodles taste.

The noodles are a bit mushy.. "lan" can also be used to describe a rotten person

Not mushy at all. Why would they be?

Just like me, it's not "lan" (rotten).

This is where I live.

The environment around here is quite nice.

It's okay.

It's quite nice.

How about.. coming inside?

Brother Lai Ying, look who's come.

Brother Lai Ying.

Alright then.. I won't disturb you.

What is it?

That..

My vegetables!

Yes. Your vegetables.

Here.

Isn't this a bit too much?

I don't care,

you must finish all of it.

Otherwise, how will you have the strength to do your job?

Alright, I'll listen to you.

You're angry at me?

Then why do I get such a small bowl of noodles?

Older Brother, are you Li Ge Xiao?

Yes, I'm Li Ge Xiao. What is it?

This is what Sister Ru Yi told me to give to you.

Ge Xiao, knowing you,

has been the happiest thing in my life.

However, even if you don't care about my family's background,

and you have courage to face the future,

but once approaching the moment where love and righteousness clash,

I'll still stay with the latter.

Brother Ying has been caring for me, protecting me,

even today,

he hasn't left my side.

I know that he likes me.

He's a good brother.

And he'll always just be my good brother.

I have no feelings towards him,

but I can't turn my back on him.

If we stay together,

in the end, it'll just hurt this person who has been protecting me all this time.

Ge Xiao, I can't do it.

Just treat it as Ru Yi forsaking you.

Sorry..

I just hope that you're able to understand,

and empathise with me, for such a selfish decision.

Goodbye.

Jing Ru Yi.

What, you're just going to run away?

I don't know.. I don't want to hurt anybody.

Do you think that by doing this, it'll be good for Lai Ying?

But.. I can't just ignore

all the sacrifices that he's made for me.

I owe him too much.

If you really think like this,

then you underestimate Lai Ying.

Think about it.

If the person he loves thinks little of him,

how will he feel?

What should I do?

If he's sincere towards you,

he'll wish that you're happy.

Have you forgotten the promise between us too?

Where is he?

Li Ge Xiao.

Where's he run off to?

You scared me!

Scared about what?

I have a wish.

I don't know if it'll come true or not.

Say it.

I want to eat the noodles you make, everyday.

Aren't you already eating it everyday?

At my house.

Your wish has come true.

I'll never forget it.

This is our promise.

Right?

From today onwards, don't run away anymore.

Let's face it together.

What do you mean by this?!

It's written very clearly on the invitation card,

I'm going to marry Ru Yi.

You can forget about it!

Ru Yi won't marry you!

You have managed to get Ru Yi fall for your sweet talk!

You're Ru Yi's older brother, I respect you.

Please don't say such horrible things.

You forced her.. you forced her!!

All of this is the dishonest means by which you people with power and status lie to us!

You've misunderstood. have no power, nor status.

I only have a heart.

Don't put on an act in front of me!

Do you need to give me a beating,

in order to believe that I'm sincere towards Ru Yi?

No matter what you say, I won't believe you!

Come on, hit me!

Are you looking down on me?!

Let me tell you,

it doesn't hurt when you hit me like this.

You only have one option, which is to kill me.

Otherwise, I won't give in.

Come!

Don't think that I won't dare to!

I...

Li Ge Xiao, why did you have to appear?!

Why did you have to appear?!

It's because of your appearance,

that I now know how useless I am,

how weak I am!

Cut the crap!

Why did you have to appear in my life?!

Aren't you a man?

If you're a man, slash me!

For Ru Yi, I dare to do anything!

Come, come, come! Come!

What are you doing?! Have you gone crazy?!

Ge Xiao.. Ge Xiao, are you okay?!

Ge Xiao, how are you?!

Why didn't you think about me?

If something happens to you, what about me?

I'm fine.

Sooner or later, the matter between him and I would have to be solved.

Brother Lai Ying. I'm pleading you, please accept us.

Alright. I'll let you..

Li Ge Xiao, you have to give Ru Yi happiness.

If you wrong her in any way,

I won't let it slide!

Ge Xiao!

What are you doing?

Come in! Don't be like this!

Brother Lai Ying, come! Come in!

This.. this isn't how this works! Just come!

Today, you're our elder,

you're our witness!

I can't! My status, my seniority,

it doesn't match your husband's!

Listen.

You're Ru Yi's brother.

If it's not going to be you, there'll be nobody else.

That's right! My Father's no longer here,

you're my Godbrother, my family.

Exactly, sit.

Sit. Come.

From today onwards, I'll be just like Ru Yi,

calling you Older Brother.

Older Brother, please have some tea.

I can't do this!

You're older than me, and smarter than me,

how can you call me Older Brother?!

As an Older Brother, why care about this so much?

Older Brother, please drink some tea.

Remember what I said.

Don't worry.

I'll remember it for the rest of my life.

Alright, it's my turn now.

Older Brother, thank you. Really, thank you.
