Some questions answered but are replaced by more

Luo Qian Yi has enough of being confined in a building, be it the hospital in Japan or the house in China. She sneaks out to the coffee house they get their beans from but is quickly found by Hou You Ze. When they return home, they meet a man called A'Chou, who turns out to be Luo Qian Yi's agent. Now the question is brought up why Hou You Ze never told her about her being a professioal violinist, which he claims to be because he didn't want to give her pressure.
I was rather surprised that Luo Qian Yi was not only unable to play the violoin, but also didn't remember anything. I didn't expect a huge and important memory but it's quite unbelievable (to me, I have no clue how that stuff works) that there was nothing at all.

The episode leaves open several questions. The most important for me being why he always locks her inside. I simply don't understand it. Yes, Luo Qian Yi lost her memories and is more prone to getting lost. But doesn't she have a phone? Those have GPS after all. Another possibility would be for her to meet up with friends outside, but either she doesn't have them or Hou You Ze keeps them from contacting her like he did with her agent. All in all you can say that Hou You Ze shows a lot of possessive behaviours, does not have any trust in Luo Qian Yi, and his motivations seem very unclear to me. I just have no clue what he's up to.

That aside, who the hell leaves those notes? My personal guess is that it's some high school sweetheart or sth similar, maybe of of her former collegues.

I also definitely will need to get used to the voice actors not only butchering names with foreign pronounciation but also English in general. I'm just glad it isn't German and that there are subtitles so I can focus on those.
