When Old Dreams ResurfaceStory Description: You watched "Ghost Friend" with Ye Shunguang. During the movie, she seems to recall some memories from the past...
- Ye Shunguang: I'm here, Junior (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)! - Ye Shunguang: Come to think of it, this is the first time I've ever been to your place...
- Ye Shunguang: Just thinking about it makes me curious and excited... I feel like my heart's beating faster, too...
Welcome to my home!- Do you like it?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Welcome to my home, (Senior. So, what do you think?Senior. So, what do you think? /
Senior! What do you think?Senior! What do you think?) Do you like it? - Ye Shunguang: Mm-hmm! This place feels just like you — it smells like a mix of grass, sunshine, and sweet desserts...
- Ye Shunguang: I know I just walked in, but while I was sitting on the sofa waiting for you to get the videotape, I already felt like wagging my tail...
- Ye Shunguang: You're not going to make fun of me, are you?
- Of course not!
- That makes me so happy!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Of course not! If you like it here, come visit (anytime.anytime. /
any time!any time!) My door will always be open for (you.you. / you~you~) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): We can watch movies, play video games, or do nothing at all, just chill on the sofa and enjoy the (moment...moment... /
moment~moment~) - Ye Shunguang: Hehe, just picturing doing all these makes me so happy! Now I'm even more excited about the movie we're about to watch!
- Ye Shunguang: Junior (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)... - Let's watch it now!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I found the (videotape.videotape. /
videotape~videotape~) We can start watching now! - The movie begins. The protagonist is full of passion and kindness, but struggles to express her true feelings.
Perhaps because of her silence, she constantly faces difficult situations in life.
Fortunately, she has a good friend. This friend's hot-headed, has a sharp tongue, and often acts on her own accord, but she also genuinely cares for the protagonist.
The girl often finds herself confiding in this friend. And each time, the friend offers "unexpected" solutions, which often turn out to be surprisingly effective... - However, one day, when the girl finally gathers her courage to introduce her friend to her family, she discovers an unexpected truth: She's the only person in the world who can see this friend.
- Ye Shunguang: A friend for just one person, someone only you can see... So that's what "ghost friend" means?
- Ye Shunguang: The story's taking a strange turn... like it's suggesting the friend has ulterior motives in helping the protagonist. But I don't think that's what's really happening.
- Ye Shunguang: In the way the two interacted, even through the screen, I could feel the "wholehearted love"...
- Ye Shunguang: Like fresh dewy grass on the mountainside, the salty breeze at the harbor, or the moonlight that softens the night... "Wholehearted love" is special, unique. When you receive it, it feels like someone is gently watching over you — And that feeling, is something that cannot be faked.
- Ye Shunguang: Sorry... I'm babbling again. But you know what I mean, right?
- I have the same feeling!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Yeah! In this friendship, the friend is always considering the protagonist's perspective, thinking about her needs, helping her live a better life... This kind of empathy (and kindness is truly genuine.and kindness is truly genuine. /
and care is definitely genuine!and care is definitely genuine!) - Ye Shunguang: Exactly... Love is something you can't hide. I think so too.
- Ye Shunguang: I also noticed something in this film — the friend never directly handles things for the protagonist. All she does is provide advice, then encourages the girl to do it herself.
- Ye Shunguang: Junior (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), do you think... maybe it's because she knows no one else can see her, so she chose this way to help the protagonist? - Yeah, that makes sense!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Yeah, that (makes a lot of sense.makes a lot of sense. /
totally makes sense!totally makes sense!) It's like how a (mothermother / mamamama) cat teaches her kittens to hunt: She doesn't catch food for them. Instead, she shows them how and cheers them on while they try... (It's really adorable if you think about it.It's really adorable if you think about it. / Ahh, just imagine that... it's so cute!Ahh, just imagine that... it's so cute!) - The movie continues, the girl keeps growing... She makes new friends, mends her relationship with her family, and receives more and more love in this world. Yet at the same time, the "ghost friend" gradually disappears, and the protagonist's calls can't hold back her departure.
Accompanied by slow, soothing music, the story reaches its end. The mystery is finally revealed: the "ghost friend" was actually the protagonist's second personality, formed during her loneliest time. She was born for the lonely version of herself, and when sunshine finally returned to her life, the ghost friend left. All she left behind was a soft goodbye. - The movie ends, gentle music plays. Senior Xiao'Guang stares at the screen intently until the credits finish... You hear soft sobbing in the quiet room.
You hand her a cup of hot tea. When your fingers touch, you notice her fingertips are damp from wiping away tears. - Ye Shunguang: I understand now.
- Ye Shunguang: The invisible friend was actually a truer part of herself...
- Ye Shunguang: In the loneliest moments, they held hands and walked forward together. But once life found its rhythm again, the shadow who'd come to help had to leave...
- Ye Shunguang: No one knows about the departing soul, but... even when everything has faded away, the memories still remain.
- Ye Shunguang: All the streets they walked together, the warm scents they smelled, and all the beautiful moments they shared... These will all be remembered, right?
- Senior Xiao'Guang raises her head, her eyelashes still wet, looking your way expectantly...
- Of course!
- We remember them too!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Even though they had to say goodbye, the memories that hold all the beautiful moments stay on in this world... and in the hearts of you and me, here in front of the screen!
- Ye Shunguang: Yes, brief blossoms will be remembered. The stories of walking hand in hand will forever stay in our hearts. That's also a kind of "eternity."
- Ye Shunguang: Just like... how I'll always remember the other "me."
- Ye Shunguang: Aww... I just wanted to curl up on the sofa with you on a nice day and watch a random movie...
- Ye Shunguang: But after watching it, I get all these feelings rolling around in my head. My eyes are sore and I can't help rubbing them... I guess this is what people call the "lingering impact."
- Ye Shunguang: I'll always remember this movie, the way it made me feel, and the time we spent together.
- Ye Shunguang: It's getting late. I should head back to Suibian Temple.
- Ye Shunguang: Today's movie was great. I'm already looking forward to the next one... You should pick the movie next time!
- (Ye Shunguang can now promote the video store.)
- (Idle)
- Ye Shunguang: What should we watch next time...
