"Subtle Love" by SpeXial

Moon River Episode 5

Director, Miss doesn't seem to be in a good mood today.

Do you want to go visit her?

Aiya, what's the use of getting angry?

There's no problem that can't be solved.

Right?

Look into it.

See who bothered my daughter. Go take care of it, if you have to.

Yes.

Mom, you can't sleep?

Are you thinking about Lin Rui Xi's situation?

Yes.

Mom, do you think it's because of the Elite Union?

It's not exactly the Elite Union's problem.

Then, whose problem is it?

It's a problem of the household upbringing.

The school's reputation is getting worse and worse.

All this time, I was worried something like this might happen.

And now, we're really in trouble.

This type of wrong upbringings by the Elite Union

would have led to trouble sooner or later.

Then, what should I do?

I don't want to be like Lin Rui Xi, an ordinary person who gets bullied.

But I don't want to become like the bullies in the Elite Union.

Can't we find a solution that will please both sides?

Silly child, you will be able to find middle ground.

Aren't you good friends with Xiao Xi?

Does this solution have something to do with Xiao Xi?

Maybe so.

Maybe so.

Today at 9 AM, underneath the tree at school,

I won't leave until you come.

What kind of stupid text is this?

Is she challenging me to a duel?

This kid is even late?

Why am I so on time? I should leave for now.

What is this? - It's me, Ming Xiao Xi.

I know it's you. I'm asking you why you're dressed like this.

This is the art of disguise.

It can't be helped. If I meet with President Mu Liu Bing,

it's better not to expose my identity, or else there'll be trouble.

If it's like that, then why did you ask to meet up?

Because I wanted to thank you in person.

Thank me for what?

I heard from the principal that it was you who investigated my alleged cheating incident.

Thank you so much.

I wasn't trying to help you. I wanted to know the truth for myself.

That's it? You're done talking? - Not yet.

Because you did me a favor, I want to repay that kindness.

Say it. How should I repay you?

Even if I actually helped you,

there's probably nothing you can do for me.

Forget it. I'm leaving. - You can't!

My dad said that as a part of the Ming family, I must know how to repay others, or else I don't deserve to be a Ming.

It's okay if you can't think of a way for me to repay you.

I have a plan.

What is this?

This is called the Ming Family's Three Strikes.

It's the highest form of ritual for the Ming family's promise.

As long as it doesn't violate morality, kindness,

and is possible within my abilities,

I can do anything to repay your help and kindness to me.

What are you, a historical figure? You even have Three Strikes?

I don't care if you believe or not.

Just remember that as long as I, Ming Xiao Xi, am still living and breathing,

I still owe you a Three Strikes promise.

If you have any problems, come find me.

Okay. Let's just leave it here today.

Let's wait until you are taking your last breath to talk about this again.

I'm leaving.

Hey! Don't forget the Three Strikes Promise!

This afternoon, there is a meeting with the secretary at the restaurant.

At 2PM, there is a meeting with a representative from Singapore's bank.

At four, the company...

Sha Sha.

It's so early in the morning. Why are you sighing?

Quickly, eat some breakfast.

I can only sigh.

Director, it seems that Miss is still not over that matter...

What matter is it?

Can't you take care of it?

Why sigh?

This is so messed up. I died again. I missed it by just a little.

Since you're so angry, stop playing it.

Stop playing? If I don't play, I'll be bored to death.

You could read more books. It helps enrich your brain.

Thanks, but I'd rather play and die again.

Che, I got a call from Xi Shan this morning.

You and Sha Sha... - I need you to apologize to Sha Sha right now.

It's nothing. You're too worked up.

I've always been on Sha Sha's side. I'm super supportive of her.

If you're afraid of the Tie family, that's your problem. I'm not afraid.

If he's not pleased, he should come to me.

Dad, don't get so worked up over it.

Relax. Sha Sha knows that I'm on her side.

If you're scared, you can apologize to her yourself.

See? Trouble is happening.

I have already foreseen this.

Can you guys please go home and tell your fathers that

making Sha Sha angry is all on me? It has nothing to do with you two.

Hey! Ah Bing... Why are you being like that?

Hey! Che!

What is this?

Such strong hostility in the air.

How is this a friendly match, with the way he's attacking?

Is he trying to kill someone? - Yeah.

I don't care. I want you to go apologized to Sha Sha.

Her father is Tie Da Qi!

No.

I'll be harmed by you!

Eh! Hey!

Eh! Reh!

Stop them!

Skating Grandma?

Senior Che. - Xiao Xi.

What's wrong with him?

For me?

O-Oh, yeah. It's cheap and delicious. Buy one get one free.

Do you want a few more?

It's okay.

Oh, right. Earlier, he...

I'm talking about Senior Mu Liu Bing.

Is he not in a good mood?

Is he? - Yes!

Even though, I don't really understand Kendo,

I understand a martial artist's feelings.

Earlier, that match was just to vent off his anger, not real Kendo at all.

Is it that obvious? - Yeah.

Honestly, I thought that you guys lived happily every day.

Where did that idea come from?

Isn't it true?

You guys don't have to worry about food, clothes, you guys are all smart,

and can go to school. Everything is already planned out for you.

Isn't that great?

Maybe that's the reason why we're unhappy.

I understand. Every family has its troubles.

It turns out you guys have worries, too.

So why was he unhappy?

Because of you.

Me? Why me?

What do you think?

Strange.

Did I cause trouble for you guys again?

Hey. Senior, don't go. Tell me where I went wrong.

You are a big problem yourself.

It's nothing. I'm joking with you.

Aiyo, don't scare me. I swore to keep my distance from you guys.

You swore to keep your distance from us?

Uh, i-i-it's just safer to not be in contact with you guys.

I think the misunderstanding between us is really big.

This isn't a misunderstanding.

We really don't get along.

You see, every time--

Hey, it's Ming Xiao Xi. What is she doing there?

She's with Senior Che.

I-I remembered I still have something to do. I don't have much time left.

Senior, bye bye.

Hey, why are you stealing from me? You're bullying an elder!

He...

Grandpa! - Grandpa.

Your bag.

Ming Xiao Xi—

Yeah, it's this girl. As I watched her run and jump,

I knew that she's not an ordinary person.

Hey, you and he are...

Grandpa, you found your things. Can you go home now?

Miss, how do I thank you? How about this,

come to my house. I'll treat you to a meal.

No, Grandpa. It's not a big deal. It's fine.

That's right. She's the type of girl who asks for nothing in return, so you don't need to treat her to a meal.

That's right, Grandpa.

Well... I have other things to do.

You guys know each other? - (Xiao Xi) Yes. - (Liu Bing) No.

Huh? Huh?

(Xiao Xi) No. - (Liu Bing) Yes.

Huh?

Didn't you want to say that we know each other?

You said that we don't know each other first.

Do you guys know each other or not?

It's a blurry relationship, right?

No. No, Grandpa.

I don't know him well. We just go to the same school.

You go to Guang Yu, too? - Yes.

Aiya, how could such a lame school

have such a great girl like you?

Grandpa, that's too much of a praise.

You're most welcome.

Grandpa, you're out here long enough. Let me send you home.

Whenever you leave home, you stay out for so many days. Can't I just stay outside for a while longer?

Grandpa...

Miss,

do you have children?

Aiyo, I'm not even married yet. How could I have children?

Good. Since you can do martial arts, you must be able to give birth. I like you.
