On the racing track

Ling tried to catch up after being deliberately pushed off the track. His right-hand fingers were injured and could not grip the right-hand handlebar fully.

Qiluo looked at the clock on the wall in the art studio.

"In five minutes, the race will be over." Qiluo said to herself.

At the bleachers of the Sugo racing circuit

"Your friend is really something. I didn't waste my time coming all the way from Europe to watch him racing. After the accident, he has moved up from 14th place to the top 10. But only a few laps remain. Unless there's a miracle, he'll not be able to make the top 3." Minggao's driver friend said to Daye, Qingmei, and Abin.

"I've heard that miracles can happen any time on racing tracks." Daye said to Minggao's driver friend.

On the racing track

Ling's voice-over: "Qiluo, cheer for me."

Ling overtook several riders ahead of him.

Announcement: "No. 61 rider Chen Ling from Taiwan rides at amazing speed and squeezed into the top three in a few laps."

One rider fell off his bike when making a turn. The bike and the rider rolled toward the center of the track. The bike after it ran into the fallen bike and flipped over; both the rider and the bike fell off to the wayside.

Another upcoming bike crashed into the fallen bike on the track.

Ling barely missed the fallen bike.

Daye, Qingmei, and Abin cheered.

"He's crazy." Minggao said, watching the overhead TV monitor.

Announcement: "No. 61 rider skirted around right before the accident scene. It was very dangerous. But he kept on without decreasing his speed."

"The last lap." Xiangzi said.

A flagger was circling two yellow flags.

"Aren't there yellow flags up ahead? Is he going to pass the other rider?" Xiangzi said anxiously.

Indeed Ling changed lane to pass the rider in front of him right before they got to the yellow flags.

Minggao sighed heavily. After checking his wrist watch, Minggao bent his head and smiled resignedly.

"Forget it. Let him do whatever he wants." Minggao said.

"This is not what he cares about. He only wants to pass every body." Minggao said.

"There isn't much time left." Abin said.

"Where's Ling's bike? How does Ling disappear?" Daye said, looking around searching for Ling.

"Where is his bike?" Qingmei said worriedly.

Over the top of the hilly part of the track, No. 3 rider appeared. Ling appeared immediately after him.

"What are you talking about? I can't catch up to him." Ling said to himself.

Announcement: "Now the first one to rush past the finish line is No. 61 rider Chen Ling from Taiwan. After the accident, with amazingly high speed and techniques, he caught up one by one the riders before him along the way. Finally he was able to win over No. 3 rider who had been leading all the way. But according to the regulations, rider Chen Ling has violated some rules."

"Hold on." Daye said.

"What for?" Qingmei asked, nudging Daye.

Announcement: "So ten seconds have to be added. So his final ranking is 7th."

"Ling is moved from 1st place to 7th place." Daye said to Qingmei and Abin.

"Why?" Qingmei asked.

"He sped up when the yellow flags were up. According to the regulations, ten seconds have to be added to his time. But it was very exciting and interesting. It's worth my time coming from Europe to watch him. Ah, when you guys see Minggao later on, please tell him for me that an old friend from Europe has come by to see him." Minggao's driver friend said.

"The race is over. I wonder how he feels now." Qiluo said after looking at the wall clock in the art studio.

After the race

"Mr. Chen, are you okay?" A race personnel asked Ling.

Ling saw Minggao and Xing waiting for him.

"I'm sorry." Ling apologized to them.

Suddenly the audience and people around Ling started cheering and clapping loudly. Ling looked around and pointed to him self. Minggao put his hand up. The audience stood up and gave Ling a standing ovation. Ling pointed to himself again. Ling waved his helmet at the audience.

Qiluo in the art studio.

"Wei” Qiluo picked up the phone and said.

"It's me." Ling said on the other end.

"The race is over. Are you okay?" Qiluo asked.

"I feel fine, except that the champion I thought I had in my hand had got away." Ling said.

"It doesn't matter. In my heart, you are the champion. Further, your safety is the most important." Qiluo said.

Outside the art museum

"Please go in by yourself. I'll wait for you here." Qiluo stopped abruptly and said to Ling.

"Why?" Ling asked.

"It feels very strange to view my painting together with its model in person." Qiluo said.

"Don't worry. I won't hit you because you painted badly." Ling said.

"It's not that. Go in by yourself." Qiluo said.

"Fine. I'm going in now." Ling said.

"Hey. Ling. Is it really okay for you to look at yourself?" Qiluo stopped Ling and asked him.

"I don't know yet. But in order to see your painting, I'm willing to try. I might have already overcome it. I'm leaving now." Ling said.

"You go down the stairs. It's the first painting on the right." Qiluo told Ling.

As Ling was walking down the stairs, people going up the stairs looked at him when they past him.

Ling hesitated and paused in the middle of the stairs before he finally walked down to the front of the painting and raised his head to look at the painting.

Someone saw Ling touching the painting.

"Sir, please don't touch our paintings." The man warned Ling. Ling turned to look at him. Other people stared at him.

Ling came out the art exhibition room.

"Have you seen it?" Qiluo asked Ling.

"Um..." Ling said.

"Do you like it?" Qiluo asked.

"I like it tremendously." Ling said.

"Why?" Qiluo asked.

"It feels like a world full of energy. Furthermore, he's better-looking than I." Ling said, as he walked toward Qiluo.

"Is he?" Qiluo said laughingly.

"Sure. I don't like him at all." Ling said. The two of them left the museum.

Shazhi came down the stairs and stood in front of the painting.

Qiluo and Qingmei were looking at pictures.

"You see. This is Ling." Qingmei told Qiluo.

"Wow." Qiluo said.

"There were many people. You see." Qingmei said.

"Was it very cold the place you guys went?" Qiluo said, picking up a photo.

"It was very cold. It even snowed. Look at the part in the back. But, we had lots of fun." Qingmei said.

"Wow. Indeed. You see." Qiluo said.

"Yeah." Qingmei said.

"Is over here the lounge room?" Qiluo asked.

"Yeah. Because we are Ling's friends, we were allowed to get in with special permission. Normal folks are not allowed inside it. I felt like a VIP." Qingmei said with her arms stretching forward smugly.

"Or because you looked too beautiful." Qiluo said after examining the picture for a moment.

"Yeah. no doubt." Qingmei said.

"I'm just kidding." Qiluo said laughingly.

"Yeah. You now joke a lot." Qingmei said.

"I'm learning." Qiluo said.

"Who is this man?" Qiluo asked Qingmei, holding a picture and leaning toward Qingmei.

"Oh. I was just going to tell you. He is a rider of a famous European motorcycle maker. He seems to be a friend of Minggao's. He went to the race specifically for Ling. He made the trip in a short notice from a European race. Ling is now being watched by many famous motorcycle makers. They say they haven't seen a rider like Ling in more than a decade. If my guess is correct, Ling will be sponsored by makers in his future races. At that time, Ling will become an internally famous rider. You weren't on the scene. What Ling rushed past the first-placed rider and reached the finish line. Every one stood up in awe before they could even scream. At the end, everyone gave him a big applause. Do you know what they saw was not a successful rider, but someone who was strong and with awesome persistence. Even I respect Ling greatly." Qingmei said.

Qiluo was quiet.

"What is it? What's on your mind? You're not happy." Qingmei asked Qiluo.

"No, it isn't. I'm just thinking..." Qiluo said.

Qiluo's cell phone rang.

"Wei." Qiluo said.

"How are you? I'm Lee Zhuyi from the Changxin University. I'm sorry to have interrupted you. I got your number from your art teacher." A guy's voice said on the end.

"Um. How may I help you?" Qiluo asked.

"It is about your artwork displayed at the Municipal Art Museum. I'd like ask you some questions." Zhuyi said.

"Go ahead." Qiluo said.

"It is about your painting Mars. Was Chen Ling your model?" Zhuyi asked.

"Why did you ask it? Are you a friend of Chen Ling's?" Qiluo asked in return.

"So it's really Chen Ling. May I ask if he's a student at your school?" Zhuyi asked.

"Yeah. May I ask...?” Qiluo said.

"Thank you. Thank you very much." Zhuyi said and hung up.

"Wei." Qiluo said. There was no answer.

"Changxin University." Qiluo murmured, looking at her cell-phone.

"Very far away. Who was that?" Qingmei asked.

"I don't know, either." Qiluo said.

Zhuyi was in deep thoughts after the call.

Qiluo came out a building and went across an intersection.

"Hey. Qiluo. Why are you here?" Xiangzi called her.

"Xiangzi." Qiluo greeted her.

Xiangzi took Qiluo to her shop.

"Come. Qiluo, sit anywhere you like." Xiangzi told Qiluo after she opened the door.

"Thank you. Minggao-da-ge is not here, is it?" Qiluo said.

"Not so early. He won't be in until the shop is open." Xiangzi said.

"Are you hungry? Would you like me to make something for you?" Xiangzi asked Qiluo.

"I've already eaten. Thank you." Qiluo said.

"Good, otherwise I'm in trouble. I can only make French fries." Xiangzi said.

"Have some beer." Xiangzi said as she placed a glass of beer on the table in front of Qiluo.

"Beer. Thank you." Qiluo said.

"I heard that you've won a big prize. Congratulation." Xiangzi said after she sat down and took a sip of her beer.

"Thank you." Qiluo said.

"You've really got a talent for painting. Ling is sure to become an excellent rider in the future. You two are very outstanding. This year, Yamaha has already let him test-run 500. After that, it will be getting closer and closer to his GP dream. To tell the truth, I'm very grateful to Ling. He has saved Minggao. I know Minggao has never really left the racing circuits until the day after the race in Japan. He saw Ling's performance and finally was willing to give up racing. Because he knows Ling will surely fulfill his dreams for him." Xiangzi said.

"Have you stopped racing?" Qiluo asked.

"Yes, I've stopped racing. Right now, I only want to concentrate on being Minggao's wife and continue supporting him. It seems that both of us have new paths to traverse." Xiangzi said and took another sip of her beer.

"Qiluo, racing is a long journey, especially for riders who choose to compete at the 500 level. That kind of pain is unbearable for normal people. Once he joins the WGP, half of his life time will be spent out of country. Facing with world-class challenges, there will be a series of strenuous and tough tests both spiritually or physically. The most important thing is, unless he fails like Minggao, there is no going back. So, Qiluo, you must be well prepared. Because without your support, Ling can't reach the finish line. Stand and wait for him at the finish line. That way, he will be able to return safely. Return to this world. Return to your side." Xiangzi said to Ling.

In Teacher Shi's class

On the board:
National College Joint Auction
(1) Program (2) Auction items (3) Responsible unit

Students were whooping and clapping.

"Classmates, don't get too excited. Now that we have decided on the program, next to discuss is the auction items. Any ideas?" Teacher Shi said, pointing backward to the board.

"How about selling a painting of Qiluo's” Qingmei suggested, raising her hand.

"Woooo." The rest of the class moaned.

"Hey. What kind of attitude is this! Qiluo has won a big prize." Qingmei said loudly.

"Teacher. Teacher." Some student called Teacher Shi. Teacher Shi pointed at her.

"We can have a fun ride with the famous rider Chen Ling." The girl said.

"Yeah. Yeah." Some girls yelled. Ling raised his hand.

"Hold on. Hold on. Impossible. Impossible. Anything is fine except for my bike." Ling said.

"Woooo." A lot of students moaned.

"Teacher, if we can't ride his bike, can't we be the master of Ling for a day? How do you guys think?" Another girl motioned.

"Yeah. Yeah." A lot of students clapped their hands.

"Wei. Wei. Why do you guys always want to involve me in everything?" Ling said while he ate.

"Yeah. You really come in handy." Daye said to Ling.

"Hey. Hey. You guys. Shouldn't you at least give some respects to the girlfriend? Ask Qiluo what she thinks." Qingmei yelled.

"Fine. Let's check with Han Qiluo. What do you think?" Teacher Shi asked Qiluo.

"Then, let's auction off a day of Ling and donate all the money to charity organizations." Qiluo said.

Ling, Daye, and Qingmei were all surprised.

Students cheered.

"Okay. Classmates. I here announce formally that in the national college joint auction, our auction item is one day of Chen Ling." Teacher Shi announced.

Students cheered and clapped.

"Next, we'll discuss the responsible unit and the representatives." Teacher Shi said.

"Hey. Hey. Can't you three stop eating? Don't you get fat from eating? You have been eating nonstoppingly from the beginning” Teacher Shi said to Ling, Daye, and Qingmei.

On campus, tents were set up around the perimeter of the field

It doesn't matter. We can go over there later on to that shooting-balloons stall. It looks a lot of fun." Two girls were walking and talking to each other. One of them patted Qingmei's back.

"Excuse me. Do you know where Chen Ling, a junior student, is? One of the girls asked Qingmei.

"They are..." Qiluo answered.

"Chen Ling. He is in the lounge room at the recreation center over there." Qingmei interrupted Qiluo and told the girl.

"Really? Thank you." Both girls said happily.

"Qingmei, you're a big liar. Ling is over there at the field." Qiluo said to Qingmei who was smiling smugly and eating popcorn.

"Who cares about them? They all come here after reading motorcycle magazines. Ever since Ling returned from Japan, girls of this kind are increasing. There was already a whole bunch, now it's getting even worse. In my opinion, the hottest item in the auction now is Ling." Qiluo said.

On the basketball court

Daye was shooting but missed it. Ling and Abin sat on the ground, watching him.

"What kind of airplane is that? You've missed four shots." Abin yelled, eating a lollipop.

"You're bad." Ling said to Daye.

"PS2 is gone." Abin said to Daye.

"How many good shots did you make? What are you yelling so loud as if you were able to make many good shots?" Daye said to Abin as he walked toward Ling and Abin and sat next to Abin.

"If I had known earlier, I should have stopped after the three good shots." Daye said.

"Yes." Ling agreed.

"At least, I could have won 6 bottles of Pepsi Cola." Daye said.

"Come. Come. Come. It's worth more than you pay." A guy under the umbrella said to get people to play basketball.

"For one good shot, you can win a lollipop." The guy under the umbrella said to Ling, Daye, and Abin.

Ling and Daye laughed.

"It was a close call. I got 3 good shots. Otherwise, I would be just like you, with only a lollipop. It's already bad enough. You even walked and ate it the same time." Daye said to Abin.

"I don't want it. Go away." Daye yelled as Abin tries to force him to eat the lollipop.

Ling eyed the necklace.

"That's enough." Daye said and sat up.

"Okay. It's my turn." Ling said and stood up.

"Go. Ling. Win a PS2” Abin said to Ling.

"Go. Don't just win a lollipop. You'll lose your face." Daye shouted.

Abin tries to force Daye to eat his lollipop again.

Ling shot at the foul line and got a good shot.

"Awesome." Someone shouted.

At the Auction site

"Okay. The next item to auction. Sorry, we can't put it on stage. But I believe everyone present here knows that we are auction off one day of the celebrity of our school, Chen Ling." The auctioneer shouted. The audience yelled.

"Now let's start the bidding. How much?" The auctioneer said.

"Three thousands." One girl shouted.

"Four thousands." Another girl. Qiluo and Qingmei watched the auction on the sideline.

"Wow, suddenly there are so many more people showing up. Um... Have you seen most are girls? Their eyes look different. Very terrifying." Qingmei said to Qiluo.

"Nine thousands." "Ten thousands."

"Are there more bids?" The auctioneer said.

"Eleven thousands."

On the basketball court

"You've got 5 good shots. One more shot, you will get a PS2. Go, Ling." Daye shouted.

"In addition, I'll add 2 thousands." Abin said to Daye.

"Betting. You only know betting." Daye said to Abin.

I just love betting." Abin said.

"Go, Ling." Daye said.

Ling got another good shot.

"PS2!" Daye yelled.

"Give me a PS2, plus two free lollipops for celebration." Abin said to the guy in charge of trophies.

Ling signaled for another ball.

"Hold on. Look! He's still playing." The guy said to Abin. Abin turned to look at Ling.

"Good!" Someone watching said.

"That can't be." Abin said.

"Hey. Chen Ling. Stop being naughty. If you miss it, we won't even have a PS2. Why do you want that heart-shaped necklace” Abin said and walked back next to Daye's side and rested his arm atop Daye's shoulder.

"Sh..." Daye stopped Abin.

"Ling, go for it. The necklace is yours." Daye said to Ling. Ling turned to look at them.

"PS2." Abin said.

At the auction site

"18 thousands."

"19 thousands." The auctioneer said.

"Okay. 20 thousands." The auctioneer said, pointing his gavel at someone.

"Is this for real? Where is Chen Ling?" One girl asked.

"Yeah. Yeah. Where is he?" Other girls said.

A guy came up to the auctioneer and whispered to him.

"Chen Ling isn't here. How can we bid?" Some girl said.

"Classmates, the latest news. Chen Ling is now competing shooting basketballs. His goal is the heart-shaped necklace provided by Lida. Let's keep on bidding. You may get to take both Chen Ling and the necklace home." The auctioneer said.

"25 thousands. 25 thousands." "27 thousands." "28 thousands."

"30 thousands." The auctioneer said, pointing his pallet someone.

"In the back. How much in the back?" The auctioneer said, pointing his pallet someone.

"50 thousands." A guy said and raised his hand.

"50 thousands." The auctioneer said.

"50 thousands. Is that right? A guy bids for 50 thousands." Qingmei said to Qiluo

"55 thousands." A girl said.

"55 thousands." The auctioneer repeated.

"55 thousands once. 55 thousands twice." The auctioneer said.

"100 thousands." Shazhi said. Everyone turned their heads to look at Shazhi and Zhuyi.

"100 thousands. Wow." Someone said.

"Who is that girl?" Qingmei said.

"100 thousands once. 100 thousands twice. 100 thousands three times. Congratulation, sold” The auctioneer said while Shazhi and Zhuyi walked to the front.

"Who is she? Please. " Some girl said.

"Excuse me. Actually I don't have that much money on me." Shazhi said. Shazhi removed her wrist watch.

"Take the watch. You should be able to trade it for 100 thousands dollars." Shazhi said as she handed the watch over to the auctioneer.

"Excuse me. Can you take me to meet Chen Ling?" Shazhi said to the auctioneer.

End of Mars episode 5 - part 1

Episode 5 (Part 2)

On the basketball court

Ling did an air shot. People cheered for him. Ling was overjoyed.

"You're too awesome." Abin said.

The three of them formed a circle, jumping.

"Chen Ling." Shazhi called as she came toward Ling.

Shazhi slapped hard across Ling's face when he turned around.

"Shazhi” Ling said unbelievably.

Shazhi embraced Ling.

"Ling, I miss you so much. Where have you been?" Shazhi said, sobbing.

Ling raised his arms to hug her.

"Ling” Zhuyi called.

"Zhuyi” Ling said. Zhuyi came up to Ling. The two of them hugged each other.

"Wei. It's been a long time. You've shrunk." Ling said to Zhuyi.

"You've grown taller." Zhuyi said to Ling.

"How did you find me?" Ling asked Zhuyi.

"That painting. I even called the artist Qiluo." Zhuyi said to Ling.

"Qiluo." Ling said.

Qiluo and Qingmei arrived at the basketball court.

Zhuyi walked up to Qiluo.

"You... Are you Qiluo? I'm Lee Zhuyi. I'm sorry that I called and bothered you a few days ago. I still need to thank you. If it weren't for that painting, I think we wouldn't have known how to find Ling." Zhuyi said to Qiluo.

At that time, Ling and Shazhi had also walked up to Qiluo and Qingmei.

"He is Zhuyi. He's high school classmate. She's Shazhi. We were high school classmates." Ling said to Qiluo.

"How are you? I saw your painting at the art exhibition. You painted really well." Shazhi said to Qiluo.

"Thank you." Qiluo said to Shazhi.

"I heard from Zhuyi that he had seen a painting Ling modeled. I immediately went over there to see it. I have never dreamed that artist was a girl. Thank you. Thank you for painting my Ling so well." Shazhi said to Qiluo.

"Ling, Don't forget your trophy." Abin said to Ling and gave him the case.

Shazhi turned around and touched the case as Ling was opening the case.

"Trophy. Is this the gift you bring along with you?" Shazhi said as she took the case from Ling.

"Ling, do you know I've bought you and the necklace at the auction." Shazhi said to Ling.

"Wei. Wei. This thing should belong to Qiluo, shouldn't it?" Daye asked Ling after he grabbed the case from Shazhi.

"No. I'm not interested in that kind of stuff." Qiluo said.

"Qiluo." Qingmei said. Ling looked disappointed.

"Ling, Thank you." Shazhi said.

At a pub

"You were outrageous! You haven't contacted us for so long. We don't even know which university you're attending. I called your father. He only said you didn't live at home." Shazhi said to Ling.

"Yeah. The other day when I saw your painting at the art exhibition, I was in great shock. Unexpectedly, I've finally found you." Zhuyi said to Ling.

"Sorry. I've been very busy every day. So I forgot to contact you guys." Ling said to Zhuyi.

"What kind of excuse is that? By the way, do you know our advisor is getting married pretty soon? Even someone like him can find a wife. Furthermore, Gaotian of our class plans to visit New York in a short while. Moreover, the little dog we had at school has grown to be a very big dog." Shazhi said to Ling.

"Shazhi. Shazhi. Shazhi. Take it easy. It's not that we aren't going to see each other any more." Zhuyi interrupted Shazhi.

"Who knows? He might disappear suddenly again. I'm going to talk more. That dog can eat a great amount of food now. Do you know that?" Shazhi said.

"Really?" Ling said.

"Shazhi feeds it a lot of dog food every day." Zhuyi said.

"Ha Ha Ha. I remember when we just had the dog; it was just a tiny one." Ling said.

"Now It's so big." Zhuyi said.

"Yes. It's so cute, like a little teddy bear. You don't even come to see it." Shazhi said.

Ling held Qiluo's hand under the table.

"Why don't you bring it over?" Ling said.

"Do you miss it?" Shazhi said.

"Sure. I miss it." Ling said.

"Do you still remember it peed on you?" Shazhi asked.

"Hum. I remember." Ling said.

"I remember, too. The whole classroom stunk so badly because of its pee." Zhuyi said.

"I was so embarrassing." Ling said.

"Indeed. It was so embarrassing." Shazhi said.

"Ling, are you still racing?" Zhuyi asked Ling.

"Yeah. I just returned from an all Japan race." Ling said.

"Awesome. It's so great to have a dream." Zhuyi said to Ling.

Shazhi noticed that Ling was holding Qiluo's hand.

"It's okay. How about you? How is school?" Ling asked Zhuyi.

Shazhi glared at Qiluo.

"School? Okay. Just follow my parents' expectations. But I want to improve myself in painting." Zhuyi said.

"Painting. You can talk to Qiluo. She's excellent." Ling said to Zhuyi.

"Really?" Zhuyi said.

"Yes." Ling said.

"Qiluo, I'll ask your help from now on." Zhuyi said to Qiluo.

Qiluo noticed that Shazhi was glaring at her.

"No problem. Qiluo is very nice. Don't worry. She will teach you." Ling said to Zhuyi.

"I'll trouble you." Zhuyi said and nodded to Qiluo.

Shazhi knocked off her glass of drink.

"What is it? Are you sick?" Zhuyi said to Shazhi.

"I don't know. Suddenly my head feels like spinning." Shazhi said.

"How did it happen?" Zhuyi said.

"She might be tired. Shouldn't she go home to have some rest?" Ling said.

"Um... I'll take you home. Okay?" Zhuyi said to Shazhi.

"No. I don't want you to take me home." Shazhi said to Zhuyi.

"Ling, can you take me home?" Shazhi said to Ling.

"Be nice. Don't act like a kid. If you're tired, go home and rest." Ling said to Shazhi.

"I don't want it. I don't want it I want you to take me home." Shazhi said to Ling.

"Shazhi." Ling said.

"Ling, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Shazhi said to Ling.

"Ling, take Shazhi home." Qiluo said to Shazhi.

Taxi

Shazhi sat inside the Taxi. Ling kept the door open.

"Wei. Aren't you going to come with us?" Ling said to Zhuyi.

"Um. No. I'm going in the opposite direction. I'm taking subway." Zhuyi said to Ling, Qiluo standing behind Zhuyi.

"I'm taking her home. I'll be right back. Wait for me at the school. My motorcycle is still there." Ling said to Qiluo after he walked to in front of her.

"Be careful. Bye Bye." Qiluo said to Ling.

"Bye Bye." Ling said to Qiluo.

"Zhuyi, I may have to ask you a favor. Please take her back to school." Ling turned to say to Zhuyi.

"No problem." Zhuyi said.

"I'm leaving." Ling said to Qiluo and Zhuyi.

Ling got in the taxi and closed the taxi door.

"Please take us to Zhongcheng Road section 2." Ling told the taxi driver.

After the tax left

"Sorry. It's a rare festival day for you guys and we've spoiled it. So does the necklace. I think you deliberately gave it up, didn't you?" Zhuyi said to Qiluo.

Qiluo didn't say a word. She smiled awkwardly and turned to walk away. Zhuyi followed her.

"In fact, ever since I saw the painting, I've felt vaguely. You're Ling's girlfriend, aren't you?" Zhuyi said to Qiluo.

Qiluo stopped walking and turned to look at Zhuyi.

Inside the taxi

"Are you okay?" Ling said to Shazhi.

"I feel much better because you're here." Shazhi said to Ling. Ling turned to look outside the taxi window.

"I suddenly feel like going to the seaside to watch the ocean. Okay?" Shazhi said to Ling.

"Driver, can you take us to Baisha?" Shazhi said to the taxi driver.

"Wei." Ling said to Shazhi.

"Don't forget I own you the whole day today." Shazhi said to Ling.

At a table in a courtyard cafe

"How should I put it? Actually, Shazhi is like a child. She didn't mean to harm. She's just a bit self-centered with everything. You've seen her yourself. She's so cute. So everyone spoils her and protects her. In school, she is everyone's darling. If you want to blame, blame us for spoiling her." Zhuyi said to Qiluo.

"Shazhi is Ling's ex-girlfriend, isn't she? When she spoke those words, I knew it." Qiluo asked.

On the beach

"Wow. How beautiful!" Shazhi said, taking off her shoes.

"It's been a long time since I smelled the ocean. Ling, hurry up." Shazhi said, running toward the sea.

Ling followed her without any smile.

"Are you angry?" Shazhi said to Ling.

"I'm just a little bit surprised that you're still the same as before." Ling said.

"I really didn't feel well a while back." Shazhi said.

"You haven't changed at all, still as selfish and willful as before. And you're fickle." Ling said to Shazhi.

"Like the sea. I thought you've completely forgotten it. So you still remember those words you said to me. So, you haven't forgotten those words you said to me when we were here. You said, "Shazhi, why are you and the sea are so alike? Selfish and fickle. You never consider other people's feelings. You just go on changing the way you look. But, " " Shazhi interrupted Ling.

"But, I just like it, forever and forever. I can't help loving you, no matter how you change your look today. I still want to be with you." Ling interrupted and finished it.

"So you didn't forget it. So, you still remember it." Shazhi said, starting sobbing.

"So, you still remember it." Shazhi repeated as she ran and embraced Ling.

"Why did you vanish? Why did you leave me and disappear?" Shazhi said as she held Ling.

"I'm sorry. sorry." Ling said.

"Ling, do you still like me now?" Shazhi asked. Ling kept quiet.

"Now I still like you. No matter what, regardless what happens, even if Sheng is still alive, I like you the same." Shazhi said after she released Ling and faced him.

Shazhi embraced Ling again.

At the courtyard table

"So you also know about Sheng's suicide." Zhuyi asked Qiluo. Qiluo admitted silently.

"After that, Ling changed. At that time, we all thought his pain would be just short-term because Ling was always very strong. Come to think of it, when we weren't paying attention, he had started collapsing from inside bit by bit. Until one day, our teacher told us Ling had to go to a psychiatric hospital resting for a while. After the winter break and then the summer break, Ling still didn't coming back. Shazhi almost went crazy." Zhuyi said.

"If Sheng hadn't died, they wouldn't have separated. Am I right?" Qiluo said.

"You don't seem to know why Sheng committed suicide, do you?" Zhuyi said.

"Wasn't it because of school violence?" Qiluo asked.

"So you really don't know." Zhuyi said.

"Shazhi started dating Sheng first. Ling snatched her away from Sheng. Not long after that, Sheng committed suicide by jumping off a building." Zhuyi said.

Sheng was standing at the edge of the rooftop

Zhuyi's voice over: "I was the first one who saw Sheng standing on the rooftop. I was also the one who hurried to get Ling. When Ling was running desperately upstairs, I went to look for teachers. Shazhi was left alone downstairs, watching them."

Shazhi saw Sheng jumping off the building and started crying.

At the courtyard table

"When teachers and I got to the scene, it was too late. But what I could hardly believe was that Ling would something say like that." Zhuyi said.

On the ground outside the high-school building

"It was I who pushed him off the building." Ling said.

"No. Ling didn't push him off. Ling didn't push him off." Shazhi started yelling.

"Shazhi! Shazhi!" Zhuyi got hold of Shazhi.

"Sheng jumped off himself. I've been standing here watching. Believe me. Why did you say that? Believe me. I've been here all the time. Sheng jumped off himself." Shazhi yelled.

At the courtyard table

"Sheng committed suicide. It's an unshakable fact. Police arrived and collected all the evidences. There was no evidence to prove that Ling had pushed Sheng off the building. But after that, everyone started guessing about Sheng's death. But it's really hard for me to believe Sheng die for Shazhi. Sheng was always very honest and patient. He dislikes all sorts of bad behaviors and violence. More important is that the two brothers were like two unseparable people. They clung to and depended on each other. Each always used different methods to protect the other. Each was afraid of losing the other. It was impossible. Absolutely impossible. Ling could never kill Sheng and Sheng was not someone who would revenge. The reason that I'm coming here this time is to find out the truth. Why did Sheng commit suicide? And why did Ling say those words? What is the truth?" Zhuyi said to Qiluo.

At night by the sea

"We're back. We've finally all come back." Shazhi shouted to the sea.

Ling took Shazhi home

"Thank you. I have a good time today." Shazhi said to Ling. Ling didn't say a word.

"It feels good to be alive." Shazhi said. Ling remained silent.

"When will we see each other again?" Shazhi asked.

"I don't know. I may not have the time and energy to play with you." Ling said.

"Oh. Thank you for this. Today is such a rare opportunity. Can you help me put it on?" Shazhi said, holding up the necklace.

Ling took the necklace and put it around Shazhi's neck but he had a hard time clasping the necklace together.

"Take it easy. The more hurried, the more difficult it is to clasp it together. You are so anxious to go back. Is it because she's waiting for you? But I think the two of you will not be together in the end because she doesn't really like you. I just stared at her a little bit, she let me have you without saying another word. If it had been me, I wouldn't have done it for the life of me. Regardless what other people think of me, I will not let any other girl come close to you. Regardless how other people denounce me or say I'm a dislikable woman, I'll never leave someone I like." Shazhi said while Ling struggled to clasp the necklace together.

Ling finally was able to clasp the necklace together.

"Thank you." Shazhi said. Ling smiled but said nothing.

"Ling, you're mine. Goodnight." Shazhi said.

Qiluo sitting on the steps waiting for Ling.

"Ling, where are you? What are you doing now? I'm so stupid. All I know is waiting." Qiluo talked to herself.

Daye showed up and Qiluo stood up.

"Daye, why are you here?" Qiluo said.

"Because it's already pretty late, I'm a little bit worried. I though I come over to see if you're still here. I never thought you would still be here." Daye said.

"Because Ling told me to wait for him here. So.. I'm really stupid. I don't know how to adapt at all. I just wait stupidly. Every time I want to leave, I think he may appear the next second. He will surely return to his girlfriend. Actually I should have left long time ago. Am I right?" Qiluo said.

Qiluo started crying. Daye hugged her.

"Ling" Qiluo called. Daye let go of Qiluo.

"Don't take it wrong. Daye and I were just..." Qiluo said.

"What happened to you now? Having seen your ex-girlfriend, you become undecided. I'm telling you, I haven't completely given up on Qiluo. Even with an opponent like you. I won't give up easily. If you still don't cherish her, I'll snatch her back." Daye interrupted before Qiluo could finish.

Daye walked away.

"We're celebrating at WOLF. Stop by if you want to." Daye said to Ling when he walked past Ling.

"Ling, you know Daye didn't mean it. He was just worried that I was here alone, so he came to check." Qiluo said.

"I know it. I know he deliberately wanted to get me angry. He's not someone who would snatch other person's girlfriend. He's different than I. Shazhi is not my ex-girlfriend. Sheng was the one who dated her. It wasn't me. They said they were dating, but they had never even held hands. That was probably what was called spiritual love. It was tough on Shazhi. She always complained Sheng didn't even kiss her. So I snatched her from him. Shazhi shouldn't have felt any difference. For her, Sheng and I should hardly make any difference, except that I have less morale. I'm like an animal in that aspect." Ling said.

"You're not that kind of person. You really like Shazhi. Even Sheng was your opponent, you still couldn't control your true feelings. You have been so considerate of Daye, let alone Sheng? You obviously wanted to withdraw but you couldn't control yourself not to fall for Shazhi. Wasn't it?" Qiluo said.

Qiluo and Qingmei were talking, leaning against a railing

"Have you straighten it out? Has Ling really broken up with Shazhi?" Qingmei said to Qiluo.

"Um. That's what he said." Qiluo said.

"What do you mean by that's what he said? You have to make sure of it. Don't give them any chance. This is your responsibility as a girlfriend. Do you understand or not?" Qingmei said.

"If you really like Ling, don't ever let him go. Do you know it or not?" Qingmei said.

"Does it have to be that way?" Qiluo said.

"What are you talking?!" Qingmei said

"I'm just thinking if Ling really wants to leave, even though I cry or ask him to stay, they won't work with him. Then why should I worry that much?" Qiluo said.

Qingmei looked downward and saw someone. She left abruptly.

"Qingmei, where are you going?" Qiluo asked and followed her.

Shazhi flanked by two guys

"You don't go to our school, do you?" The guy on her right-hand side asked her.

"Aren't you that beautiful girl who bought Ling?" The other guy asked.

"Yeah. Which school are you attending?" The first guy asked.

"I'm from Changxin University." Shazhi said.

"Changxin University." The two guys repeated.

Qingmei ran down the stairs. Qiluo followed her.

"Qingmei, Qingmei. Don't go there. Qingmei!" Qiluo yelled.

"What do you mean by causing a disturbance? Who told you to come here?" Qingmei yelled at Shazhi as she walked to the front of Shazhi.

"I'm only here to see Ling. Am I not allowed?" Shazhi said.

"I warn you. I don't care what your relationship to Ling is. Ling's current girlfriend is Qiluo. Don't try to break them up. You're so shameful." Qingmei yelled at Shazhi. Qiluo tried to hold back Qingmei.

"Qingmei, I only want to visit my high-school classmate. Why do you have to be so nervous?" Shazhi said.

"You. Qingmei." Qiluo stopped Qingmei as Qingmei moved toward Shazhi.

"The way you're so desperate, I think they probably are not very committed to each other." Shazhi said.

"Go to the hell. shut up your dirty mouth." Qingmei yelled.

"Don't act like that." Qiluo stopped Qingmei, pushing Qingmei away from Shazhi.

"Don't push me back." Qingmei yelled at Qiluo.

"Don't push me back. I don't want it." Qingmei said.

"Forget it. Qingmei." Qiluo said, still holding Qingmei back.

Shazhi saw the bracelet on Qiluo.

Shazhi remember it was the same bracelet Ling used to wear in high school.

Ling was eating a lollipop.

"Wow. What a beautiful bracelet! Can you give it to me?" Shazhi said and held Ling's wrist.

"No. This is my lucky charm. It's very important." Ling said.

"Why?" Shazhi said.

"It's just very important. I can't possibly give it to you." Ling said.

"So beautiful. Can I borrow it for a little bit?" Shazhi asked Ling.

"No. I won't let it leave me. No." Ling said.

Shazhi stared at the bracelet.

"Forget it. Forget it." Qiluo was still shouting at Qingmei.

Shazhi pulled Qiluo's arm and looked at the bracelet.

"Why do you have this? This isn't yours. You can't have it. Give it to me." Shazhi shouted at Qiluo and tried to remove the bracelet.

"No." Qiluo shouted.

"Please stop it." Qiluo said.

"You can't do this. Let her go." Qingmei shouted at Shazhi. Shazhi pushed Qingmei away.

"Give it to me." Shazhi shouted.

"Please don't touch my bracelet." Qiluo shouted.

Shazhi was standing at the edge of the top step and fell down the stairs.

"I'm sorry." Qiluo said to Shazhi.

"Shazhi." Ling showed up and came to Shazhi's side.

"Are you okay?" Ling said to Shazhi.

"It hurt so much." Shazhi said as she clung to Ling. Ling hugged her.

"It hurt so much." Shazhi said.

"They bullied me." Shazhi said as Ling helped her to stand up.

"I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose." Qiluo said.

"It's was obvious that you did it on purpose. In fact, you did it on purpose. You view me as an eyesore. You pretend to be gentle in front of Ling. I don't like you. You hate your kind of people most." Shazhi yelled.

Ling slapped Shazhi's face.

"Isn't that enough?" Ling scolded Shazhi.

Qiluo waiting for Ling and Shazhi in front of the building

Ling and Shazhi walked toward Qiluo.

"Is she okay?" Qiluo asked Ling.

"Nothing. It's just some minor scratches and has been dressed." Ling said to Qiluo.

"Apologize to Qiluo." Ling said to Shazhi.

"I'm sorry." Shazhi said to Qiluo, still with tears on her face.

"Please leave. Don't ever come here again. I don't want to see you. Let bygone be bygone. For everyone's benefit, let this be the last time we see each other." Ling said to Shazhi.

"Let's go." Ling said to Qiluo as he took her hand.

"Ling." Qiluo said.

"Don't pay attention to her." Ling said to Qiluo.

Ling and Qiluo left.

"Hurry up. Go home." Ling turned to say to Shazhi, after they walked a few paces.

"Go." Ling said to Qiluo.

Shazhi walked slowly and walked in front of an oncoming car.

Ling saw it and ran to grab Shazhi. The two of them rolled to the side in time.

"Ling." Qiluo yelled.

"Why did you do that?" Ling asked Shazhi.

"Except for death, there's nowhere for me to go. Sheng is already dead. If I don't have you, what am I going to do? I don't want to go on living. Ling, I don't have anything at all." Shazhi said, crying against Ling.

"Are you two okay?" The driver asked Ling.

"It's just some shock. Sorry." Ling said.

"What I meant is your right hand." The driver said.

Ling looked at his hand; it was bleeding.

Shazhi waiting on a bench in a hospital

Qiluo came and stood in front of Shazhi.

"I'm sorry. You must think I'm a disgusting woman, don't you? Do you think I'm just a weirdo popped up out of nowhere? But you don't know how I live my life these days. I was waiting. I was waiting. I was waiting for the day I would meet him again. I was waiting for the day I could reunion with him. That was before you met Ling. I was waiting every day. If Sheng hadn't died, Ling and I wouldn't have separated. I beg you. Please return him to me. I beg you to return him to me." Shazhi said to Qiluo.

"Shazhi, please stop. I haven't clutched Ling and not let him go. I like him so I stay by him. I think this is not a question of I return him or not. I don't have the rights to restrict him." Qiluo said.

"Can I like him? Can I see him? You won't interfere." Shazhi said.

"He has the freedom to choose." Qiluo said.

"I remember now. I always thought you remind me of someone. I finally remember it. You and Sheng are very much alike. Sheng said the same thing to me when I told him I liked Ling." Shazhi said.
