Li Jiaen Reads Yuan Yiqi's Birthday Letter

Hi, Yangyang! Initially, I was supposed to perform an epic, explosive, never-seen-before, hundred mark, perfect performance with you today (XYYZ: sigh, she doesn't have this opportunity anymore) but I missed my opportunity. Although, it goes without saying that your birthday stage will still be awesome without this performance — it can reach ninety-nine marks. In my heart, you're someone who has always been pretty perfect. I can ramble to you about my situation and you will listen to me. I always go on and on and say a lot, but you always look confused. I will always remember the first time we met, it was in the changing room. Both of us had just finished changing when our eyes met and you asked me, "Are you from our team?" At that time, I didn't know what to say, so I just nodded. I don't know why but this scene left a deep impression on me. Later on, for some unknown reason, we became close. At that time, things were simple, we were happy and didn't have to worry much. At that time, I wasn't really happy but I gained these few good friends. However, I had a little more admiration for you, because I really like the way you dance — you dance freely in your own style, perhaps I am also like this. Because of this, whenever we practice, Ma laoshi will tell everyone not to follow our moves, she says that we modify the steps. I remember that there was a time where I was upset and got drunk. I ran to your room and said, "You deserve better!" You all laughed at me and even took a video of me but what I said was from the bottom of my heart — I'm not sure if you took me seriously. Time passes so quickly, we all shine in our own time. I'll say it again, "You deserve better." Watching you improve, I think that I have a good eye [for talent]. I have always felt that you are someone who is sincere. Only those who are sincere have flaws, only then will people find fault in you, so I hope that you won’t be affected by what people say. You are really, really great! No matter where you are, no matter which aspect of you, you're really great. So, happy birthday! I wish that you’ll still be dancing with me, even when you're eighty~ Byebye~

XYYZ: I know who wrote this (LJE: right?) I hope that she'll be able to complete an epic, explosive performance with me next time. That's right, it's your loss for not coming this time. To be honest, I have always placed her in a very important position in my life. To be honest, I'm too lazy to listen to most people talk about most things, but for TEAM HII, I always want to be a listening ear when everyone is unhappy. I want to ask people what happened, maybe that makes me seem like a gossip haha. But, to be honest, I really, really care about everyone. Thank you everyone, thank you Qiqi~

Zhang Xin's Birthday Letter

ZX: Alright, I'll start. [Audience makes noise] No, no no, it's just-

XYYZ: Don't have expectations. [ZX: right] She's not good at writing letters, don't expect too much. You're putting a lot of pressure on her

TO Yangjie: I don't need to think about it to know that your birthday stage definitely is amazing today. Although I kept falling sick during this period of time, I watched you constantly run around, planning for your stage from March to July, all the way until December when you finally managed to have this birthday stage.

As I write this letter, it is night time and I'm listening to music. There's a lot I want to say but I don't know where to start, there's too much to say. Even though I'm still that me who doesn't say a lot, spending the past eight years with you, we've been through too much. In the face of rumors and gossip, we have bravely been ourselves. Every time we're exhausted from doing so, we hug each other and cry together, talking from night time until the sun rises. I don't know when I slowly began to understand you better [T/N1] (ZX: I'm a bit nervous, a bit nervous). At times, without even speaking, our eyes meet and I know everything that you're thinking. For many things, you pretend to be strong. You don't talk about it, even if you're actually affected by it. If you're misunderstood, you'll keep thinking about what you should do. So, knowing what you care about, I think that you are careless and a little stubborn at times, but you still care in your heart. (XYYZ: Stubborn? You are the more stubborn one! ZX: No, Libras are all quite stubborn, just that you… I may be more stubborn but you are more stubborn on the surface. It's that- [Audience laughs] [T/N2] You're thinking too much! I just meant that she is from the first half of Libra while I'm from the second half. So, I am relatively- Don't laugh! I'm more of a Libra while she's more like the earlier one. Therefore- Don't laugh! XYYZ: The earlier what? Speak clearly. The earlier zodiac? ZX: Yes, the earlier zodiac. Let's not talk about this anymore. The more I say, the stranger it gets.)

But you still care in your heart [T/N3]. It's like how I rarely see you cry. Once, when you were running a high fever, I went out and wandered around outside. Only when I returned did I realize how high your fever was. At that time, you were lying in bed and crying. I felt horrible that I hadn't been by your side. You are really someone who constantly needs friends to accompany them. You can't go out alone or stay at home alone. Ever since that incident, I told myself: If you are ever alone, I will do anything to be by your side.

XYYZ: Alright then, you won't go out to play sports?

ZX: Ah, wait a minute, wait a minute.

DM: Don't worry, we'll accompany her when ZX exercises.

ZX: Just like Ah Meng said that she keeps wanting to come over, she actually can. Then, if I go out to exercise, Ah Meng can accompany her, just like how Ah Meng is wearing my clothes now.

XYYZ: She said-

GS: Which fanfic is this?

ZX: No it's, Ah Meng, Ah Meng- What did you say?

DM: What fanfic are you talking about?

GS: Wan Wan Lei Qing [T/N4]

XYYZ: Do you think I don't have eyes? Do you think I couldn't see?

ZX: It's not that, it's like that picture of us hanging over our bed.

NYP: Hanging over whose bed?

ZX: Just, our bed… bed bed…

NYP: Your shared bed?

ZX: Yes, yes yes yes yes yes.

This year, we

ZX: Wait a minute, let me read first. Didn’t you say you were going to cry? Why do I feel that you keep laughing? It’s all your fault! [T/N5]

XYYZ: To be honest, I’m already not in the mood because of you. Thank you.

ZX: Am I that funny?

XYYZ: Thank you, one-eyed. [T/N6]

ZX: Ah, save me. When I was writing this letter, I actually thought that I was being quite emotional. I may have deluded myself.

XYYZ: Don’t laugh when you speak, be a little more serious.

ZX: Okay

This year, we experienced a lot of mixed feelings. After Chinese New Year, we went into lockdown and felt anxious everyday. (XYYZ: Actually, only you were anxious. You would stand by the desk like this. Then, when you listened to music, you would suddenly cry. Then, I said: ZX look at this. [T/N7] ZX: Why am I being laughed at again? I want to say, I felt that you were actually quite happy at that time because you were playing games everyday. While I was crying everyday, I would hear her saying: charge, charge! Hit him, hit him! Maybe I was too self-absorbed at that time.)

Later on was Best Partners. Initially, we just wanted more opportunities to perform but then things didn't go so smoothly. Just like that song we wrote, we wanted a perfect beginning but suddenly it did not go as planned. At that time, we were both more emo but our personalities make it such that both of us like to communicate in our own way. In a blink of an eye, it’s already the end of the year. This year, we have really experienced a lot, we've seen a lot but I'm still me and you're still you. No matter how our relationship may change in the future, you will still be the person who knows me the best, the only person who is able to find me when I am most upset, when I am unhappy, when I disappear. You are somebody that I cannot lack in my life, Xu-Yang Yuzhuo. 

ZX: Alright, I’m done reading

XYYZ: To be honest, I think that this is the best letter she's ever written

ZX: You know, when I was writing this letter, I just happened to be listening to <In This Noisy Word> [T/N8]. I looped this song as I started writing and managed to finish the letter. 

XYYZ: During the time where I was constantly rehearsing, I saw that she was always doing sports so I was really upset! The topic we talked about was where we wanted to go, what we wanted to do today and she said to me, "Hey, let's play football tomorrow. It'll be fun." I said, "I already played during the sports meet." But she kept inviting me, even though I didn't want to go. I hope that you can accompany me to do what I want to do next time.

ZX: Right, just like I said, you accompany me to play football and I'll accompany you to dance.

XYYZ: But I don't want to play football with you!!!

ZX: We can do a different sport, we can surf

XYYZ: That's too dangerous! If other people knock into you, you'll go flying

ZX: That's true, that day I…

XYYZ: If you don't believe me, ask DM!

DM: Huh? What happened?

XYYZ: We're talking about football, tell her that it’s dangerous

DM: Just like this, I was sent flying

ZX: That's true, the other day when I was playing at night, I was really sent flying

XYYZ: That's right, so I'm normally very worried about your safety. Just return healthy and safe.

ZX: It's okay, it seems that we have already decided that we will play together when everything ends, then we will return to Guangzhou. We also plan to go abroad during January to play.

[XYYZ has no response]

ZX: You agreed!

XYYZ: Don’t just say anything. What if we don't go and others ask me why we didn't go?

ZX: I said that I asked her if she wanted to go with me and she agreed saying that she wants to go

XYYZ: I want to go, I also want to have a trip with everyone because of the previous team building

ZX: No worries, we can replan. At that time, we said that we wanted to plan to go to Macau for team building.

XYYZ: It doesn't matter, we can play Honor of Kings [T/N9] next time.

ZX: After being busy today, we can be happy tomorrow

XYYZ: Yeah! It's your miserable day, jiayou jiayou!

Xu-Yang Yuzhuo's Response

I'll give my response then. I just- Because of time constraints it might not be possible- It's just that I feel, it was my wish to be able to complete this by December, just like I said in the VCR. And then, before that- Everyone knows that I wrote a song for this little girl that loves me. I hope that everyone can cherish the present because I am really sad over this. She really wanted to see my stage, but she isn't able to see it anymore. However, I just hope that everyone will be able to come see me a few times when they have the time. Thank you everyone. I wish that everyone will be safe, health is the most important, thank you everyone.
