** Does love last forever? ~ Chapter 2 **
This is the second chapter of my little story! This will be the last time I ever write in script form, so please suffer until the end of this.. I admit that when I first start writing differently - it isn't that good.. But I get better as I go along.. at least I think so!
~*~*~*~*~*~
In hospital
Lei and Shan Cai are alone in the room. Mei Zhou and Ximen aren’t here.
Lei: Shan Cai, are you feeling better now?
San Chai: I think so.. My head doesn’t hurt as much.. You’re.. Hua Ze Lei?
Lei: Just call me Lei.
San Cai: Ok.. Lei. Can you tell me about my past?
Lei: Ok. Well, it all started when you came to Ying De last year…
Lei tells San Chai everything that happened.. Red tag, cruise - first kiss with DMS, all the problems SC and DMS went through but they were finally together. Graduation and this trip to Japan. San Chai listens but still doesn’t remember anything.
San Cai: So how come, I’m here now and I’ve forgotten everything?
Lei: You were in a car crash. I tried calling out to you but..
San Cai POV: * So that’s why I don’t remember anything.. Dao Ming Si.. Was I really in love with him in the past? Why would I love someone I always argue with, someone who always calls me “stupid woman”? Lei seems much nicer… *
Lei: Do you want me to show you a photo of us?
San Cai: Yes.
Lei shows her a picture of F4 and her. “This is Ah Si. This
is Mei Zuo. [and so on…]
San Cai: Oh.. so that’s DMS, my boyfriend.. Where is he now?
Lei: Remember, we told you before. He’s in New York.
San Cai: If he loves me so much, as you say, then why didn’t he stay with me?
Lei: Because, he had to go.. it was urgent.
San Chai: rite….
Lei: You better get some rest now. I’ve already told you so much. I’ll give you time alone to think.
San Cai: No.. don’t leave me. Can you stay with me?
Lei: If you want.
Lei POV: * She wants me to stay with her!! .. don’t get your hopes up too high.. *
Lei: Don’t you want some time alone.
San Cai: Can you just sit here quietly? I just want someone to be here..
Lei: Sure.
Lei sits down and San Cai lies in her bed and thinks, taking in all the things Lei said to her. Lei slowly falls asleep. San Cai turns around still thinking about the past. She sees Lei asleep on the chair and feels something familiar about the scene. She tries to remember but her head hurts too much. Lei wakes up to see her holding her head in pain.
Lei: San Chai! What happened? Are you okay? Do you want me to tell the doctor to come?
San Cai: No.. I’m alright.. I was just thinking too much..
Lei: Don’t push yourself too hard. Rest for a while.
Shan Cai: I will..
Lei: Here, let me help you.
Lei tries to make her bed more comfortable, while San Chai is watching him.
San Chai POV: * Lei is so nice to me and always helps me. Unlike my “boyfriend”, who left me here all alone. He seems much better than that DMS. DMS seems so stuck-up and rude. How could I like such a person? How could I be happy with someone who always argues with me? When I’m with Lei, I feel safe. Did I like him before? *
Lei (interrupts her thoughts): Have some rest. I’ll stay next to you.
San Cai: Don’t you need to go home? It seems like you’re always here.
Lei: Don’t you want me to be here?
San Cai: I.. I do. But don’t you need to rest? You should go home and rest. I’ll be fine. You can come back tomorrow.
Lei: Are you sure you’ll be okay?
San Cai: I’m positive. You’re always telling me to rest, but what about yourself? It must be very uncomfortable, sleeping on the chair..
Lei: Okay. I’ll come back to tomorrow. Bye.
San Cai: Bye.. Lei.

In New York
Ah Si is being held by two guards.
Ah Si: Let me go! Let me go!
DMF: If you would only agree to marry Ye Sha, I wouldn’t be doing this.
Ah Si: How can you do this to me? Lock me up in my room! I’m a prisoner!
DMF: Just agree to marry Ye Sha.
Ah Si: No! I will only marry San Chai.
DMF: You are really trying my patience Ah Si. How many times do I have to say this? She’s forgotten you!
Ah Si: No! She loves me.
DMF: She doesn’t. Why can’t you give Ye Sha a chance.
Ah Si: No!
DMF: What has this San Cai got that Ye Sha hasn’t?
Ah Si: …….
DMF: This stupid girl. She’s so poor and low-class! How can you like her?
Ah Si: WHY CAN’T I? WEALTH AND STATUS DOESN’T MATTER!
DMF: If you refuse to marry Ye Sha, you will never see your precious San Cai again.
Ah Si: How?
DMF (smiles): I have my ways. Are you willing to test my power?
Ah Si (very angry): Fine. I’ll date this Ye Sha.
DMF: Ok. Then you can go back to Taipei after one month to see San Cai.
Ah Si: One month?!?!
DMF: I have already shortened it. Remember? You promised your father, you would stay for 2 months.
Ah Si: That was the maximum. I can go back when business is okay again.
DMF: But you haven’t married Ye Sha. It’s not okay. Fine. I will make a deal with you.
Ah Si: What deal?
DMF: 1 month from now you can return to Taipei. Within this month, you have to date Ye Sha and make her happy. Do you understand?
Ah Si:…
DMF: 2 months from now. You have to marry Ye Sha. The one month in Taipei, you can see San Cai, if you want.
Ah Si: So in the end, I still have to marry Ye Sha… So what’s the point?
DMF: If you do not agree to this. Then you will not see San Cai at all and marry Ye Sha after one month here in New York.
Ah Si: Do I have another choice?
DMF: You have 2 choices. #1. Agree to what I said and marry Ye Sha after 2 months. You will get to see San Cai. #2. If you don’t agree, then you will marry Ye Sha after 1 month and you will not see San Cai at all.
Ah Si (very unwillingly): Fine.. I agree.
DMF: Good! You have made a very wise decision. (to the guards) Escort Dao Ming Si Shao Ye back to his room.
Ah Si is taken back to his room.
DMF POV: * Good. He has agreed to marry Ye Sha. My plan is half finished. (smiles) *

Back in Japan
Mei Zuo: Doctor, when can San Cai leave the hospital?
Doctor: We’ve been monitoring her condition for the past two days and it seems like she’s okay. I should say she can leave by the end of the week.
Mei Zuo: Thanks very much Doctor.
Doctor: It’s okay.
The doctor walks away and Mei Zuo goes into San Cai’s room. San Cai is asleep and Ximen is standing by her bed.
Mei Zuo: Hey Ximen. Where’s Lei?
Ximen: I think he went home to sleep.
Mei Zuo: I guess bad habits never change. Lei is still Lei. Still needs 15 hours of sleep.
Ximen: Yeah, but I think this is the first time he went home, since San Cai came into hospital.
Mei Zuo: Lei is so caring to San Cai. He usually doesn’t care about other people’s business.
Ximen: I know.. but do you think he ..
Mei Zuo: likes her? Maybe.. What if what he said before was true? You know when he said he would date San Chai if Ah Si breaks up with her? Maybe it wasn’t just a plan to get San Cai and Ah Si back together. Maybe he really meant it..
Ximen: But you can’t really tell what Lei is feeling..
Lei: Talking about me?
Ximen/ Mei Zuo (shout): Whoah!!
Mei Zuo: Lei, how come you always sneak up on us?
Ximen: Yeah, you’re going make me die of a heart attack one day.
Lei: Shh… you’ll wake her up.
San Cai: What’s happening? What’s wrong with your heart Ximen?
F3 laugh.
Mei Zuo: Nothing’s wrong with his heart. Lei scared us, that’s all.
Lei: Are you feeling better now?
Ximen: Yeah.
Lei: I wasn’t talking to you, I was asking San Chai.
San Chai: Oh.. I’m fine.
Mei Zuo: Yeah, the doctor said you can leave at the end of the week.
Ximen: We’ll take you back to Taipei and so you can remember things.
Mei Zuo's cellphone rings : Excuse me.
Mei Zuo walks outside to talk on the phone.
Lei (looks back at SC): Can you remember anything?
San Chai: No. I’m sorry.
Lei: No need to apologize.
Mei Zuo (coming back in): I’m sorry guys. I have to go back to Taipei tonight. My company needs me. I’ll see you when you come back to Taipei.
Ximen: Okay, bye. See you in Taipei.

Hospital
Ximen POV: *Should I call Xiao You? Tell her to come becoz of San Cai. An excuse for me to see her, but then.. is this wrong? What if I hurt her again becoz of my playboy personality? *
Ximen: Lei, do you think I should tell Xiao You to come and help San Cai?
Lei: Ok.. if you want.
Ximen: Ok then, I’ll go and call her now. (dials a number on his phone) Hello?
Xiao You: Hello?
Xiao You POV: * This voice sounds so familiar. Can this be? Is this him? Is this the phone call I’ve waited for so long? Why would he suddenly call me now? *
Ximen: Hi, do you remember me?
Xiao You POV: * How could I forget?*
Xiao You: Ximen?
Ximen: I’m glad you still remember me.
Xiao You: What’s the matter? Why are you calling me?
Ximen: It’s becoz of San Cai.
Xiao You: What happened to San Cai?
Ximen: She’s been in a car accident. We’re in Osaka now.
Xiao You: How is she now?
Ximen: She’s woken up, but she doesn’t remember anything. That’s why I want you to come, to help her remember her past.
Xiao You POV: * Is that all? Is that the only reason you called? Of course. Xiao You, you stupid girl. Why would he like you, remember you? I’m just San Cai’s friend.. Nothing more.*
Xiao You: Of course. I’ll come to Japan as soon as I can.
Ximen: I’ve already booked a plane ticket for you. It leaves tonight at 8pm. I’ll come and pick you up at the airport.
Xiao You: Ok. See you.
Ximen: Bye.
Xiao You POV: * He’s already arranged everything for me. Now I’ll have to meet him tomorrow. Will he still remember me? Have I expired for him? I probably have, I’m just another stupid meimei to him. But still.. I should go, for San Cai. *

In New York
DMS is dating Ye Sha. They are walking along the street together.
DMS (sigh): Where do you want to go?
Ye Sha: I don’t know. Where do you wanna go?
DMS: Can’t you just decide? Are you stupid?
Ye Sha: Well, can’t you decide? Are YOU stupid?
DMS: Stop repeating what I say! Stupid woman.
Ye Sha: Look who’s calling me stupid.. (smiles) stupid pighead.
DMS: Don’t make me angry. I don’t even want to be here with you. My girlfriend is in hospital and I don’t even know if she’s woken up yet.
Ye Sha: Your girlfriend this, your gf that. Why are you always talking about her? You’ve already told me she’s in hospital, I’ve already heard it.. a million times? I know all the details. She was in a car accident, she’s probably forgotten everything including you and you’re not there for her. I KNOW! Ok? You don’t have to keep saying it again and again and again…
DMS: Shut up! I’m just worried about her.
Ye Sha: Hello? I’m your fiancé.
DMS: I don’t care. I don’t even want to marry you.
Ye Sha: Ha. Do you think I want to marry you? Pighead Si.
DMS thinks of San Cai, how she always calls him stupid and ‘pighead’, how she always argues with him.
Ye Sha: Hello? Are you there? (knocks on DMS’s head) Are you listening to me?
DMS: Are you crazy? Knocking on ppl’s heads like that..
Ye Sha (rolls her eyes): What did I do wrong to have to be engaged to an idiot like this?
DMS: Idiot? Who.
Ye Sha just walks off, leaving him behind.
DMS, remembering his promise to his mother, follows slowly behind.

Airport (next day)
Ximen POV: * I wonder where Xiao You is. She should be here by now. I hope nothing’s happened to her..*
Xiao You POV: * Wow.. Can’t believe he booked a first class ticket for me. Where is he now? Oh. There he is. What should I say? *
Xiao You: Umm.. hi Ximen?
Ximen (turns around to see her): Oh. There you are. I thought something happened to you. I thought.. never mind. Is that all your luggage?
Xiao You: Err.. Yeah.
Xiao You POV: * I must sound so stupid to him.. *
Ximen: Let’s go then. Let me help you.
Ximen POV: * Why do I feel so strange around Xiao You? Oh no. Have I fallen for her? Have I, Ximen the playboy, actually fallen for a girl? Not possible. But then Xiao You.. I always think of her.. Her smile.. her innocence.. Oh god.. what am I thinking? *
Xiao You: Are we going to see San Cai?
Ximen: Yeah. If you want.

Hospital
Lei: Do you need anything San Cai?
San Cai: Yeah. Fresh air. I’ve stuck in this room for weeks.
Lei: But the doctor says you can’t leave the bed.
San Cai: I’m fine. Look at me.
Lei: I think you’re ok, but the doctor doesn’t.
San Cai (grumbles): Fine, be like that.
Lei: Hey. It’s not my fault.
San Cai: Ok, ok, ok. Get me something to eat then.
Lei: What do you want?
San Cai: I dunno. Get me some chips and..
Lei: No. You shouldn’t eat junk food. I’ll get you some fruit instead. I’ll go now. See you later. (leaves the room)
San Cai: Bye.
San Cai POV: * Lei is so caring and nice to me. Hehehe. But he won’t let me go outside. I’ve forgotten and I want to see the outside world. Stupid doctor.. I’m fine. *
Ximen comes in.
Ximen: Hi. (looks around) where’s Lei?
San Chai: Oh.. he went to buy something.
Ximen: Ok then. Guess who I brought with me?
San Cai: Who?
Xiao You (steps out): Me!
San Cai: Who are you?
Xiao You (pretends to look hurt): What? You don’t remember me?
San Cai: I’m sorry. I don’t remember you. Who are you? What’s your name?
Xiao You: I’m Xiao You. Your friend from high school. We used to work in that cake shop "Italian Tomato". (walks up to SC) Don’t worry San Cai, I’ll help you remember.
San Cai (grins): Thanks. You seem really nice, I must have been lucky to have a friend like you.
Xiao You (blush): I’m not that good…

Few days later at the hospital
San Cai managed to remember some things about her past before Ying De, meaning she remembers her parents, Qing He and Xiao You.
Xiao You: I’m so happy you remember me now.
San Cai: All thanks to you Xiao You.
Ximen: So sad.. Still can’t remember the one and only.. F4!
San Cai (smiles): I’m trying but I know you now anyway, who needs the past when I have the present.
Lei: Yes, but the past.. What about Ah Si?
San Cai (stops smiling): I don’t know. I haven’t even met him yet.
Ximen: I’m sure he’ll come as soon as he can.
Lei: You’re being discharged from the hospital today.
Ximen: We’re leaving for Taipei tomorrow morning. Are you coming with us Xiao You?
Xiao You: I don’t think I should..
San Cai: Why? Please come.. please.. please..
Xiao You (looks at SC and smiles): Ok then.
Ximen POV: * Yes! She’s going back with us. I’m so happy. But why? *
Lei: San Cai, I want to take you somewhere tonight.
SC: Ok sure. Where do I stay tonight?
Lei: Everyone’s staying at my house.
SC: Oh.. You have a house here? I thought you lived in Taiwan.
Lei: I do.
Ximen: Ok, I’ll go and get the papers ready so you can leave.

At the beach (nighttime)
Lei and San Cai are sitting on the beach, watching the waves as they break upon the shore.
Lei: Do you remember this place?
San Cai: I don’t know. It seems familiar.. somehow.
Lei: We’ve been here before. Let me help you remember. ‘Can you hold me for 10mins? No, 5 mins is enough.’ (he pulls SC into a hug)
San Cai: I..
* Flashback Images *
Lei hugging SC.
Lei crying while kissing SC.
SC and Lei talking on the beach.
* End Flashbacks *
San Cai is holding her head in pain with Lei still hugging her.
Lei (very anxious): San Cai, are you ok? San Cai?
San Cai: Umm.. yeah.. I’m ok.
Lei: Does your head hurt? (hugs her harder) I’m so sorry.
San Cai: I remembered, everything..
Lei doesn’t answer but keeps on holding her.
San Cai POV: * Why do I feel so warm and comfortable in his arms? Do I like him? Yes I do.. but more than a friend. Those memories… I must have liked him before, or why else would I be kissing him? Why was he crying? But everybody says that Dao Ming Si is my boyfriend. But what about Lei? Did I like him? I know I like him now, but what about my ‘boyfriend’. I’ve only seen a photo of him.. *

At VS
San Cai, Lei, Xiao You and Ximen have gone back to Taipei Mei Zuo met them at the airport and they have gone to VS (pub).
Lei: San Cai, do you remember this place?
Ximen: Yeah, we always come here.
A girl comes up to Ximen, she turns out to be a meimei.
MM (wrapping her arms around XM): Hey. Haven’t seen you ‘round here for so long.. Did you miss me?
Xiao You silently stands up and walks away from the table.
Xiao You POV: So Ximen is still Ximen, the playboy. He hasn’t changed at all. I was stupid to think I could change him.. How could I have even thought he liked me? I’ve expired already.. just like heaps of girls before me. Am I crazy? Why do I still like him.. love him after all this?? Why? But I have to be strong.. yes, like San Cai. I can’t give up.. Can I? *
Ximen, seeing Xiao You walk away, pushes the meimei away and runs after her. Catching up to her, he grabs her hand, making her turn around.
Xiao You: What are you doing? Let go of me.
Ximen: Please Xiao You. I just want to talk to you.
Xiao You: Then talk.
Ximen: Can we go somewhere more private?
Xiao You: Ok then. Let’s go.
They walk out of the pub.
Mei Zuo (looking at XM & XY): Do you think they’re together again?
San Cai: again?
Lei: They were together before.. I think. Unofficially though.
San Cai: What? But isn’t Ximen a playboy? What if he hurts her? Does he like her?
Mei Zuo (laughs): San Cai is still the same.
San Cai: What?
Lei: You reacted the same way before, when you thought they were dating. You made Ah Si help you.
San Cai: Oh..
Mei Zuo: Tomorrow let’s go back to Ying De, to find your memories.
San Cai: What’s Ying De?
Lei: Our university.
San Cai: Oh.. when does school start?
Mei Zuo (laughs): We’ve graduated already! That’s why you went to Japan, a graduation vacation.
San Cai: Oh.. ok then. But how can we go back to school if we’ve graduated?
Lei (smiles): Because we are F4.

New York
DMS (annoyed): Where do you want to go this time?
Ye Sha: I dunno.. somewhere fun.. what about the amusement park? [is there one is NY?]
DMS: Are you crazy?
Ye Sha glares at DMS.
DMS: Ok. Ok. Ok. We’ll go to the fun park.
Ye Sha smiles.
DMS POV: * I hope this doesn’t turn out like me and San Cai’s date.. *

At the amusement park
Ye Sha: Let’s go on the rollercoaster.
DMS: But there are big drops and stuff..
Ye Sha (laughs): You’re not scared are you?
DMS: Who’s scared? I was just worried about you..
Ye Sha: Mm.. right.. sure.. Let’s go!
After the ride
Ye Sha: Are you okay? You don’t look so good. (takes DMS to a chair)
DMS: I feel sick… (covers his mouth and runs to the toilet)
Ye Sha POV: * I can’t believe this. Stupid.. How can he be sick after that? It was sooo fun.. I still feel hyper after that. *
DMS comes out of the toilet.
Ye Sha (trying not to laugh): Are you better now?
DMS: Yeah.. (sees her smiling) Stop laughing!
Ye Sha: I’m not.. Anyway, let’s go get something to eat.
DMS POV: * This is so bad.. even worse than my date with San Cai last time.. *
Ye Sha: Do you want a hot dog?
DMS: I don’t want to eat a dog!
Ye Sha (laughs): Are you crazy? Don’t you know what a hot dog is? Stupid. Haven’t you eaten this stuff before? It’s famous in America. Hahaha… Dao Ming Si shao ye, would you like a bread roll with a sausage inside?
DMS (grumbles): Shut up! Did I ask for your opinion?
Ye Sha: Here you go, my treat.
DMS: What? I should pay, I’m the one taking you out on a date after all.
Ye Sha: You finally know? Anywayz, I’m not poor you know..
DMS: Stupid woman..

Ying De
Mei Zuo: Here we are.. Our old school. (laughs) We used to play tricks on you when you first came. We gave you our F4 red tag.
San Cai: Why?
Lei: You stood up to us and even fought back. (smiles) You wouldn’t let us beat you. We tried to make you leave the school. You had the ‘never give up’ spirit. That was how Ah Si fell in love with you. But you became our friend in the end.
San Cai: Oh.. then you guys are really mean.. playing tricks on people who stand up to you.
Mei Zuo: Ah Si was the main bully.. He was the leader. We just kind of followed his way.
San Cai: If you knew it’s bad then why do you still follow him?
Mei Zuo: I don’t know.. probably becoz it’s funny.
San Cai: Funny? Why would I like a guy who bullies people and thinks it’s fun?
Lei: He’s changed a lot since then.
Mei Zuo: Yeah.. he said you’re the most important person in his life. He changed becoz of you. He actually says “sorry” now.
San Cai: What do you mean? He doesn’t say ‘sorry’ when he does something wrong?
Lei: No.. he just says, “Did I ask for your opinion?” That was his favourite phrase.
Lei and Mei Zuo laugh.
San Cai: What a weird person..
Mei Zuo: I know.. Probably because he’s used to being a ‘da shao ye’ in a rich family, with hundreds of servants to listen to him.
San Cai: But you guys are rich too.
Lei: Yeah, but he’s just weird..
They all laugh.
Mei Zuo: Let’s go in. School hasn’t started yet, so there’s nobody inside. I’ll go.. (cell phone rings) Hello? ……. What? …… Now? …… Ok then. See you later. (puts cell phone away)
San Cai: What happened?
Mei Zuo: I have to go to work now. It’s so boring, just signing stuff all day long. Ok, bye San Cai, bye Lei.
San Cai/ Lei: Bye Mei Zuo.
San Cai: What do we do now?
Lei: Let me take you somewhere.
Lei takes her hand and they walk in together.
San Cai POV: * My hand feels like it’s burning. I feel so happy and safe, as though nothing could ever happen to me as long as Lei is here. I know I like him, but what about that Dao Ming Si? Do I love him? No.. not anymore, I don’t remember him. But Lei is different. He’s been here for me ever since the accident. Did I like him in the past? I remember we kissed before.. on the beach.. Where is he taking me now? *

Rooftop
San Cai: What’s so special about this place?
Lei: We have a lot of memories here.
San Cai: Really? ‘We’ as in me and you?
Lei: Yeah.
San Cai: What did we do here?
Lei: We talked, but not always. We just sat there next to each other sometimes, not saying anything. (smiles) I remember you used to come up here and shout at us. You called us “Pighead 4”.
San Cai: I did? That’s becoz you are. (laughs)
Lei smiles: Try and remember what happened here. Concentrate.
* Flashback images *

her.

* End Flashbacks *
San Cai holds her head in pain again. Lei puts an arm around her.
Lei: Are you okay? Did you remember something?
San Cai: I remember the things you told me about.. and something else.
Lei: What?
San Cai: I was crying and you were doing a handstand in front of me.
Lei: Oh that. Ah Si Sent some guys to bully you and they almost raped you. But then I came and they went away. You started to cry.. (smiles) The brave San Cai was crying. Then I told you to do a handstand. It stops you from crying.
San Cai: Do you do a handstand when you’re sad?
Lei: Yeah.. when I want to cry. Are you ok now?
San Cai: I feel fine.
Lei: Good, let me take you somewhere else.
He takes her hand again and walks towards the stairs with her.
Lei POV: * I’m so happy she’s remembering me. But am I being too selfish? Only showing her my memories and not Ah Si’s.. But I don’t know too much between them, I can only show her the things I know and remember. Maybe when Ah Si comes back, he can show her the rest. *
He notices that San Cai has stopped walking, she is staring at the wall.
Lei: What’s the matter?
San Cai: This place.. something happened here.. (collapses onto the ground)
Lei: San Cai!
* Flashback- silent scene *
DMS loses control. He is kissing San Cai by force. He rips her shirt. San Cai starts crying. [Sorry.. I don’t remember the exact details.. =) remember? DMS thought San Cai betrayed him with Lei.]
* End Flashback*
San Cai slowly regains consciousness.
Lei: San Cai? San Cai! What happened? Do you need to go to the hospital?
San Cai: I.. (speaks slowly) I think I’m okay.
Lei: Are you sure?
San Cai (speaking more clearly this time): Yeah.. I’m sure. I’m perfectly fine.
Lei: Don’t scare me like that.
San Cai (smiles): I’m ok, don’t worry.
Lei: Did you remember something?
San Cai (stops smiling, remembers the flashback): Yes..
Lei: What happened here? I don’t know this.. is it something between you and Ah Si?
San Cai nods her head.
Lei: You’re not happy.. is it a sad memory?
San Cai: Kind of..
Lei: Do you want to tell me? It might make you feel better.
San Cai: Dao Ming Si.. he.. he was kissing me by force.. then he ripped open my shirt.. (starts to cry) he only stopped when I started crying.
Lei: What? When did this happen?
San Cai (crying): I don’t know.. How can he be my boyfriend?
Lei (hugs and comforts her): It’s ok.. Don’t get too upset. It’s all in the past. He did good things for you too.
San Cai (stops crying): Like what?
Lei: He almost died, trying to save you. You were kidnapped, those people wanted revenge on Ah Si. I think that one of the friends were killed becoz he got one of our red tags. Ah Si was badly beaten up because he didn’t want them to hurt you.
San Cai: Serves him right. I bet lots of people have suffered a lot more than him just because they got a red tag. And anyway, how could YOU do that? I thought you were a nice person.
Lei: I didn’t really take part in the fights. I was just part of F4.
San Cai (laughs): I can tell.. you don’t seem to be a ‘fighting’ type of person.
Lei (smiles sadly): I got kicked out of F4 because of you.
San Cai: What?! What kind of friends are they? Aren’t you best friends?
Lei: Yes, but Ah Si loved you too much. He saw us on the beach and he even punched me. Then he said that I was no longer part of F4 because of you. He was really jealous. (smiles) But after a while, I told you to go back to Ah Si. (sad) I didn’t want F4 to break up.
Lei POV: * San Cai.. you don’t know how painful that was for me.. But I really didn’t want F4 to fall apart because of a girl.. even though it was you. I love you so much. I’ve always wanted to tell you.. but I can’t. *
San Cai: That Dao Ming Si is so selfish! Stupid pig.. But did you like me? Did I like you?
Lei (smiles): Doesn’t matter. I’ll take you somewhere else.
They walk down the corridor hand in hand, when San Cai stops walking again.
San Cai: Did something important happen here? I feel something..
Lei (looks around): This is where we first met.
San Cai: Really? No wonder…
Lei: Do you want to try and remember?
San Cai nods then closes her eyes to think. Suddenly she faints again, falling in Lei’s arms.
* Flashback – silent scene *
F4 walking along in the diamond shape. DMS at the front, Ximen and Mei Zuo at the sides with Lei walking behind. DMS knocks into someone carrying a basket of balls, DMS starts shouting at that person. F3 continue on but Lei stays behind and helps put the balls back into the basket.
* End Flashback *
San Cai wakes up.
Lei: Finally you’re awake. Are you okay? I’ll let you rest for a while here.
San Cai (shakes her head): No.. I feel fine.
Lei: No.. you better take a rest first.
San Cai: Fine. But I really am okay.
Lei: Are you sure? Then I’ll take you to one more place, you can rest there.

Music Room
Lei: What about this place? Do you know what room it is?
San Cai: I don’t know… a mini theatre or something..
Lei (smiles): Do you remember anything about this place?
San Cai: Has it got something to do with you?
Lei: How did you know?
San Cai (smiles): Intuition.
Lei: Right…
San Cai: What were you doing here?
Lei (teasing voice): What about your intuition?
San Cai: Stop it. You tell me.
Lei: Why should I?
San Cai: I hate it when you don’t answer me properly. Always when I ask you a question, you answer me with another question. Why do you always do that?
Lei (grins): Why can’t I?
San Cai (smiles): Ok fine.. but tell me what happened here. Why did you bring me here?
Lei: You tell me what happened. I’ll only help you remember.
San Cai: Ok. I’ll concentrate.
Lei: Close your eyes.
San Cai (closes her eyes): Ok. Why so mysterious? What are you doing?
Lei doesn’t answer, but a beautiful music suddenly fills the air.
San Cai (speaking to herself): Violin? (starts to open her eyes) I..
* Flashback*
Lei is playing the violin and San Cai is standing there listening to him.
* end flashback *
San Cai POV: * He’s still playing.. but it was only a short memory. My head didn’t hurt that much.. why? The violin.. The music is so beautiful.. So calm and peaceful just like Lei. When he’s playing, he’s different. It’s like the real Lei is surfacing when he plays.. the one that’s always hidden. His face looks so peaceful. *
Lei stops playing, “Did you like it?” San Cai
smiled, “It was beautiful.” Such a short statement, but it was great praise to
him. Only a simple compliment, but it still made him happy, only San Cai could
make him happy now.
Lei looked at her closely, searching for signs of pain. “Did you remember
anything?”
“Yes.. yes I did. But my head didn’t hurt that bad.”
“Good. There’s still one more place I want to go.”
[Do you want me to write like that? It seems
strange but if you want me to, I can.]

Ximen sat by himself in the bar, ignoring the pretty girls around him. They didn’t matter anymore, only Xiao You. Last night.. he had been so full of happiness, a great weight lifted off his back. She had said that she liked him. Liked? It didn’t matter, he wasn’t sure that he loved her. ‘Like’ was okay for now, maybe time would change that into love? It didn’t matter, just as long as she wanted to be with him. She was going to stay in Taipei for another month.. just for him. He had felt like nothing else was important, only her and no one else. He had even promised to stay away from all other girls as long as he was with her, not to be a playboy anymore. Then she would be his girlfriend, that was okay. He would try and give up it but could he stop the girls from coming to him? He smiled as he remembered his conversation with Mei Zuo earlier..
* Flashback*
“What? Give up all those pretty girls for just Xiao You? Wow.. playboy no longer?”
“Yep,” he smiled.
“No way you could do that. I don’t think you could last 2 weeks.”
“Wanna bet?”
“Sure.. I bet you can’t last one month, just being with Xiao You.”
“Really? Well, I don’t think you can last for one month without any girl.”
“I could do that. But Ximen the ladykiller, the greatest playboy in Taiwan.. giving up everything just for one girl?” Mei Zuo looked hard at his friend. Could he really do that just for one girl? “I thought you said you would never fall in love.”
“That was before I met Xiao You.”
“She’s really changed you then..” Mei Zuo laughed. “What do you wanna bet?”
“If I lose, then I’ll treat you to dinner,” replied Ximen.
“Hey.. that’s not much. Not confident enough? I knew it.”
“Fine, I’ll give you my new Mercedes Benz.”
“Still not very much. I could buy that myself you know. But okay. I’ll give you a car if I lose.”
“Deal?”
“Deal.”
* End flashback *
Ximen smiled as he thought about it. He was sure to win. Those meimeis, they weren’t that important. He could survive without them. Happily thinking that one month later, he would be sure to win all of Xiao You’s heart AND get a new car. He couldn’t wait to see Mei Zuo’s face when he won.. Yes, Mei Zuo can’t survive without a girl in his lovelife for one week, let alone one month.. Yes.. he, Ximen, was sure to win.

“Lei! Where are we going?”
“You’ll see when you get there.”
That was Lei, always so mysterious and vague about everything.
“ Can you tell me? Are we going to find more
memories?”
Lei just smiled mysteriously and didn’t answer. She gave up. It was hopeless to
ask him something he didn’t want to answer. He hid everything up so well, it was
so hard to know what he was feeling. She had only known him for a few weeks but
it was enough. She had grown to like him very much. Sometimes he was frustrating
to talk to, but that only made her like him more. How strange..
“Here we are,” Lei announced.
San Cai looked out onto a lake, she shivered involuntarily. What happened here? She felt bad here, almost sad. “Why did you bring me here?”
Lei smiled faintly and took her hand, leading her in the direction of the lake.
“Lei! What are you doing? We’re not going in are we?
Lei didn’t answer her but kept on walking, dragging her along until they finally reached the lake. They walked in. San Cai was painfully conscious of the many people staring at them. “Lei! What are we doing? I..”
* Flashback images *
DMS threw something bright and glittery into the lake and walked away.
San Cai was frantically searching for something in the lake. Lei walks in and helps her find it.
* End flashback *
“The necklace,” she said to herself.. “the necklace. Have to find it. Come on Lei!” she shouted, “hurry.” She ran quickly out of the lake with Lei following closely behind her.
“Lei, do you know where my necklace is?”
“At your house?”
“Yes, yes. That’s right. Let’s go,” she grabbed his hand and ran with him to the car, readily waiting for them beside the footpath.

“ You could at least try liking me you know,” Ye Sha’s voice interrupted the awkward silence that had settled between them. They were sitting together on a bench in a park. “ I’m not that keen on marrying you either, so stop acting like you’re the one who was forced into this. I’m not that bad am I? You make it seem like absolute torture being with me. I had someone I love too you know.”
“Had? Why aren’t you with him anymore?” DMS looked strangely at Ye Sha.
Ye Sha sighed. “It’s a long story.. But I can’t be with him anyway.”
“Because of your family?” He was surprised. He had not guessed that Ye Sha would be like him.
Ye Sha nodded, it pained her to think about him.. even after all this time. It had been years since she had said goodbye and she had never seen him since. She couldn’t find him anywhere, until finally… she found out. He had committed suicide. Was it because of her? She didn’t know..
“Where is he now?”
“In heaven,” she sobbed.
“I’m sorry. But I guess you’re better than Xiao Zi.”
“Who’s that?
“My ex-fiancé. At least you understand what it’s like to be in love with someone. Do you miss him?”
“Just like you miss San Cai, only more.”
“You must feel terrible and here I was thinking..”
“It’s okay,” she interrupted, “I know you love that San Cai a lot and I know I can never replace her in your heart, just like you can never replace.. Jerry.”
