Another Me (七月与安生)

- You're awake. Do you feel any better? - Yep.

Jiaming, how about you go home first?

I don't want to delay progress within the lab.

Why are you worrying about me at right now?

Let me see. Move your head. Does it hurt?

I'm fine.

Qiyue, are you okay?

- I'm fine. - You came?

Sorry, i'm disturbing you guys.

You're not.

Jiaming, you go first. Xunlei came as well,

later I'll go back to the school with her.

That works as well. It might be easier if Xunlei takes care of you instead. Then, i'll be heading off first.

How much was the medical fee? I'll pay you back.

What are you saying? It's fine.

Bye.

What happened to you two?

Didn't I already tell you before to take precautions against Ansheng? But you didn't listen.

Don't talk about Ansheng like that.

She's my best friend.

Maybe, Jiaming made the first move. Don't blame her.

Lin Qiyue, right now, i'm seriouslydoubting your orientation

Is the person you like Su Jiaming or Li Ansheng?

For these kinds of situations, aren't you supposed to be on your boyfriend's side?

Then what do you plan to do?

I don't plan on saying anything. I'm going to pretend like I don't know.

I believe that Ansheng isn't that type of person.

I also believe Jiaming and I's feelings towards each other.

Do you think you're one of the main characters in Chiung Yao's works?

Princess Lin, can you please be a little more realistic?

I will pretend that this never happened.

I will not break up with Jiaming anyways.

Simply, you've gone crazy.

Why are you here?

Looking for you to drink.

Okay, let's go.

Are you thirsty?

I just want to drink.

Didyou break up?

I don't even have a lover, how do I break up with them?

You are obviously a young woman,

why must you make yourself look so mature?

You're the young woman.

You can't rely on alcohol to decide things like feelings.

You can rely reason.

What does this mean?

Are you free tomorrow night?

I still haven't thanked you when you helped me last time. I want to invite you out for dinner.

I'm going to Beijing tomorrow.

Beijing?

Beijing is good. My mum's there.

Give me your phone.

If you have any problems, you can come find me.

Don't worry, if there is anything in the future,

I won't look for you.

That's fine as well. But,

you need to face your feelings.

How to let go, and how to chase for it.

You can't keep carrying such a heavy load on your shoulders.

I've already been carrying it for so long, I don't even feel anything anymore.

You'll understand in the future.

We'll discuss the future in the future.

Tonight, drink with me.

Aren't you going to read it?

Don't worry, I'll read it later.

We're almost there.

- Look. - My new boyfriend.

- Did Ansheng send this to you? - Yep.

Do you know who it is?

Of course I do. Are there any secrets between Ansheng and I?

That's true.

- Then, I'll be leaving now. I'll call you tonight. - Okay.

Jiaming, I have something to say to you.

Say it.

During this time, I've been self-reflecting a lot.

I feel that I should try to understand you more.

Qiyue.

Ansheng, thank you.

When will you bring your boyfriend back for me to see?

Then I'll have to wait for you to take a day off.

You never know, by then I would've probably broken up with him.

Watch your crow's mouth. (bringing about a curse by talking about it) Why can't you wish for good things?

Okay, let's stop talking about me. What about you? How have you been?

Today, I went to look for Jiaming.

He wasn't in the lab for once.

That's pretty good.

Hey, I'm going to hang up now because I've got customers. I have to go take care of them.

Text me if you need anything.

All right. Bye bye.

See you.

W-W-Wait!

Wait, hold it!

It's me!

It's me!

Jiuyue?

Sit wherever you want.

There's food in the fridge.

Sister Ansheng, you live in such a huge place on your own?

Did you write these post-it notes yourself? Do you look at them?

I'm going to pour myself a drink.

Help yourself!

Sister Ansheng, did you draw all these drawings?

Yeah!

They're amazing.

Have you adjusted to living here?

You cook for yourself too?

Yes.

That's impressive!

You hoarded all these facial masks too?

My sister has a bunch of these mud masks too

but she never lets me use them.

What do you need mud masks for? Go sit down.

Sit!

Why are you holidaying here instead of studying at home?

I'm... not holidaying.

I... ran away from home.

You ran away from home?! Does your dad know?

Does your sister know? How could you be so bold?

You'd better explain yourself, or else I'm sending you straight to the airport.

Don't, I'll explain!

You know how the College Entrance Exam is in a few months? I want to go to the China Academy of Art.

China Academy of Art?!

I secretly purchased train tickets,

but my mum found them when she was organising my clothes.

No matter what I told them, they wouldn't agree to it,

so that's why I snuck out.

I feel like, since we both studied art, you must understand me, right?

Hold it. How do impulsive ideas just pop into this child's head one after another?

I'm not a child, I'm 17! I'm about to take my College Entrance Exam!

17 is a minor, you're a child. And so you do know you're about to take your exams,

yet you snuck out instead of studying properly at home. You want to get into the China Academy of Art?

Do you have any idea that people who want to get into that school

have been working towards it since high school or even earlier?

I started learning art in my teens too.

It was just an extracurricular course!

Auditioning for art school isn't as easy as you think it is.

I know it's not that easy, I never said it was.

But I haven't even tried and none of you are supporting me.

Mum and Dad are like that, and now you too?

Jiuyue, trying things out like this isn't child's play.

It's a huge decision that affects the rest of your life. You...

Okay.

You say you have dreams, you have skills, right?

Then draw something right now. Draw me.

You're testing me? No problem.

Please judge.

How are things? Have you got in touch with him yet?

Don't worry. I talked to my professors and seniors about taking a leave of absence.

I'll stay with you until we find Jiuyue.

Try and think, where else could he have gone?

He... He's a high school student, where could he go?

Mom only told me he ran away from home

because she knew he came to find me in Shanghai before and knows my university's location.

But I still can't get in touch with him!

Besides you, does he have anyone else he trusts?

Someone he trusts?

Jiuyue is with me, don't worry.

I'll let him stay for the night first,

- and get in touch with you tomorrow. - Look!

If I'd known, I'd have waited a bit longer instead of having you come all the way here.

You did right. Your brother is my family too.

It was right to tell me immediately.

Jiuyue, what made you suddenly want to study art?

I learned it from you.

From me?

Yeah. Have you forgotten?

That year you came to my house and drew us a family portrait,

my parents were really happy. And another time,

you came to our house to watch a meteor shower. We waited forever, but there weren't any meteors.

You didn't want me to be disappointed, so you drew one on my wall.

To this day, it's still on the wall across from me.

Those things are from so long ago! You still remember? I already forgot about them.

Of course I remember. Remember how you missed the college exam?

When I got into high school,

the teacher told us you were really talented

and if you were still there, you'd be able to get into any major you wanted.

The teacher really said that?

Really. Ansheng—

Say "sister."

Sister Ansheng,

Are you going to send me back home?

You'll find out tomorrow.

But...

Go to sleep! I'm so sleepy.

What?

Just watching you.

Watch my arse. Go to sleep!
