Rooftop] Night

(The shopkeeper was sitting on the roof meditating, Lao Bai came up)

Old Bai: You are indeed here. (Sitting next to the shopkeeper) Are you feeling better, Xiaobei?

Shopkeeper: She fell asleep after taking the medicine. The past two days have been hard for her.

Lao Bai: Doesn’t her brother care about her?

Shopkeeper: I will give you some money every year. I take care of the rest.

Old Bai: You are acting like a sister-in-law and a mother-in-law at the same time. It’s really hard work.

Shopkeeper: Just get used to it. As long as I can raise little Bella, no matter how much hardship I have to endure, it will be worth it.

Lao Bai: Have you never thought about changing your destiny?

Shopkeeper: (eyes wide open) Destiny is determined by fate, how can you change it?

Lao Bai: What you said is wrong. In fact, everyone's destiny is in their own hands.

Shopkeeper: Don’t talk nonsense, otherwise you will be punished by God.

Lao Bai: Just condemn it, I admit it. When I was young, (the shopkeeper glared) I mean when I was younger, I didn’t know what I should do. Originally, I studied painting, but after listening to my mother’s words, I confusedly changed to study medicine. (Lowers head) After only two days of studying, my husband died. I just set up a stall by myself, (the shopkeeper laughs) and just hang out like this. If I don’t meet you, (looks at the shopkeeper) I might just keep doing this for the rest of my life.

Shopkeeper: (laughing) Does this have anything to do with me?

Lao Bai: To be honest with you, my ideal in life is to be a hero. The kind with unparalleled martial arts skills. When the road is rough, I will draw my sword to help. Sometimes, you don’t even need to pull out the knife, you just take your finger and poke it (poke the shopkeeper) to get rid of you.

Shopkeeper: (laughing again) You’d better read less of those martial arts books.

Lao Bai: (becoming serious) I am dissatisfied with you saying that when I saw Xiaobei pulling you into Yihong Building that day, I felt excited and wanted to do something heroic to save you. (The shopkeeper looks at Lao Bai) Of course, I couldn't save him. However, this is the first time in my life that I have done something heroic. It feels so good in my heart. Just don’t mention it.

Shopkeeper: If I had known earlier, I should have scolded you then.

Old Bai: It’s useless. I am determined. (Singing) I can't live like this anymore, I can't live like that anymore.

Shopkeeper: In life, you have to think before you think about it, and then you do it.

Lao Bai: Life is like climbing a mountain.

Chorus: Life is like crossing a river, each step leads to a deep footwell, and each footwell contains a song.

Lao Bai: (Take the shopkeeper’s hand) I want to take you away. Find famous teachers and learn good martial arts to repay the society. (Tightening the shopkeeper’s hand) With you, with Xiaobei. As long as she wants.

Shopkeeper: (Afraid) No, no, she’s so lazy. If your legs hurt after taking only two steps, you will definitely refuse.

Lao Bai: (holding the shopkeeper’s hand) What about you?

Shopkeeper: (hesitating) I...I, if she is willing, I will.

Old Bai: (with a cheerful smile) That’s it. I'll look for Xiaobei early tomorrow morning and have a chat. (Turns around to leave)

Shopkeeper: (Holds Lao Bai) Hey, what if she refuses?

Lao Bai: How can I survive in the world if I can’t even handle her?

(The two looked at each other for a long time)
