Auntie Li (Phone Call)
Zhaixing, it’s me, Auntie Li. Your dad was in bed and wanted to get a drink but knocked over the boiling water. The doctor said it’s a third-degree burn. Come to the hospital quickly.
Father Xu
Zhaixing, am I very useless? I couldn’t stop our company from going bankrupt. Your mother has cancer, but I can’t even save her. Now I’m even paralysed in bed. Even getting a drink of water I…
Xu Zhaixing
That’s not true, Dad. It’s not your fault.
Xu Zhaixing
I just feel so, so tired… I don’t think I can go on anymore…
Xu Zhaixing
Hm?
Cen Feng
I am willing to be the most gentle breeze1 between the mountains. I am Cen Feng. Next up I will sing for everyone a song I wrote. I hope you will all like it.
Xu Zhaixing
That beam of light of mine… I will…always love you.
Yin Chang
You’re good at everything, huh! I practiced for three days to learn the dance and you did it in three hours. I tucked my tail between my legs and curried favour with them, but they still want you to debut in C-position. I just refuse to accept it! I put everything I have into this and finally got here. But why? I even took away your personal image, but why can you go viral as Piano King?! All right, I’ll make it so you’ll never be able to play piano again.
Yin Chang
Oh, I’m so sorry Brother2 Feng. I think I accidentally stepped on your hand. Haha, I wonder if it’s serious. Oh! But I think I heard the sound of bone. It probably…broke, huh. Then does that mean you can’t play the piano anymore?
Cen Feng
Why…?
Yin Chang
“Why?” Because your existence…is trash.
Cen Feng
Trash…?
Sister3 Zhang
Isn’t just an idol? What’s he called again? Oh, right. Cen Feng. Who cares if he’s dead? The new replace the old in the entertainment industry so quickly, just find another one to be a fan of.
Xu Zhaixing
Sister Zhang, you don’t get it.
Xu Zhaixing
I’m not feeling sad. I just…feel like a piece of my heart’s been gouged out by a knife.
Boy A
Watch out for the car!
Boy B
Ball! The ball’s run away!
Xu Zhaixing
Careful!
Passerby
Someone, quick! Call the ambulance! There’s a car accident!
Xu Zhaixing
If…
Cen Feng
If…
I had another chance at everything…
I had another chance at everything…
I definitely will…
I definitely won’t…
???
Zhaixing. Zhaixing? Wake up. Oh my god, did you drool?! My precious novel! It’s all wet now! Get up. C’mon, get up.
Xu Zhaixing
Mm…
???
This is the new edition! Do you know how many hours I lined up for this?
Xu Zhaixing
Hm…? Mm…
???
Jeez, how come you’re all silly? C’mon, class is starting. It’s maths next. Hurry up and take your textbook out.
Xu Zhaixing
Ch-Cheng You? First year of Senior High? Ten years ago? Is this a dream?
Cheng You
What’re you dazing off at? Do you want Mr. Cao to call on you?
Xu Zhaixing
O-Oww!
Cheng You
Hurry up.
Xu Zhaixing
So it’s really not a dream. I’ve gone back ten years. Mum’s not sick, Dad’s not paralysed. We’re not bankrupt either! Cen Feng…is still alive. There’s still time until everything happens.
Xu Zhaixing
Cousin, you know the country’s in the critical period of changing over from old to new media. It’ll have a huge impact on the industry. There might be a lot of job opportunities, but if we have a low starting line and start late it’ll be really hard to succeed. At the same time, with the relationship between the media and entertainment industry become even more inseparabl-
Xu Yan
After saying so much, just what do you want to do?
Xu Zhaixing
I want to create an entertainment agency with you!
Xu Zhaixing
Cen Feng. This time, I’ll make sure you’ll stand on the summit.
Audience A
Tch. That’s the trainee that’s had seven years of training? What? He learnt nothing in those seven years except how to slack off.
Audience B
Exactly. No wonder out of all the Zhongtian trainees he’s the one who got sent here. He’s a fake.
Ning Siyue
Cen Feng, tell me honestly. Do you not like this stage?
Cen Feng
I once did. Now… It should be left for those who still like it.
Fan A
Kites3! What we should to do the most now is to make him love the stage again. We need to make him believe there are heaps of people who love him and supporting him and give him enough sense of security!
Fan B
That’s right! Work hard in voting. What his agency can’t give, we will!
Fan C
Kites! The first live is almost here. Anyone who can go, be there! I will have his name shine throughout the venue. I want him to see our unreserved love!
Fans
Cen Feng!! Cen Feng! Cen Feng, Cen Feng, we love you! Cen Feng, Cen Feng, we love you! Give it your all! Cen Feng, Cen Feng, we love you!
Cen Feng
Why…? They… But I didn’t do anything at all.
Xu Zhaixing
Big Brother, do you see? The Kites will always support you.
Xu Zhaixing
So, please, don’t give up.
Cen Feng
The Heavens gave me another chance at life. Do I or don’t I still want to…
Fans
Aaaahh!! Big Brother, look here!! Cen Feng!!
Xu Zhaixing
Big Brother, this life, let me be your light.
