=Episode 20= (I am Xu Zhi's Boyfriend)

Senior.

I brought another batch over.

Take a look.

You can pick one.

How about this one?

And this one.

I think it's nice.

Okay?

Just get a corner for me.

Come on.

You've come many times.

I've told you,

you can't even get into

the freshman art exhibition.

Stop dreaming.

Even if you beg me more,

it's useless.

Senior.

Help me out.

If the booth doesn't work,

can you get any open space

for me?

I can place it on the ground.

Okay?

Do you force me to tell you the truth?

I know the capabilities of you freshmen well.

People like you who haven't much talent

are recruited to boost others' confidence.

Here's my advice to you.

Instead of wasting time on painting,

you might as well be a fitness coach.

Zhu Yangqi.

Zhu Yangqi.

You didn't get in the exhibition,

so you feel ashamed?

At least you got into

a first-tier university.

What about me?

I'm repeating a year.

It's uncertain if I can get in.

Compared to you,

I should feel more ashamed.

I never said that.

Come on.

What for?

Come over.

Sit down.

I'll play you a song.

♪We are not afraid of the complicated world♪

♪Only passionate love like a ray of sunshine♪

♪Can beat the night♪

This is my favorite song recently.

During my art exam studies in Qingyi,

I always felt like I can do better.

After coming to Beijing, I realize

the gap between people

is really huge.

I can't distinguish between front and back nasals,

while others are reciting tongue twisters at triple speed.

But so what?

99 percent of people in this world

are here to be the participants.

But it doesn't prevent

us, the ordinary ones,

from working hard

to chase our dreams.

Don't compare with others,

but who you were yesterday.

Zhu Yangqi,

if one day I look down on you,

it must be because you gave up on yourself.

♪Can beat the night♪

♪We can outrun time♪

Want to make a bet?

This day next year,

I will attend a Beijing university.

And you

will hold a school exhibition.

Do it or not?

Yes.

♪We'll turn our backs on youth together and take risks♪

♪Let all the sadness and joy♪

It sounds quite nice.

♪All blend into our season♪

(Film Forum) (Who doesn't tear up)

(watching Hachiko?)

(How ruthless are they?)

(Maybe they have emotional disorders.)

(Oh my, so cold-blooded.)

(Being in relationship with someone like this is terrifying.)

(Shy Boy Chen) (Crying is just a surface issue.)

(It's because your emotions have always been suppressed.)

(When you encounter something upset,)

(try to let your emotions out.)

(Then you may find your spirit back.)

(Got it. Thank you, Professor Chen.)

Still couldn't cry?

Don't force yourself.

I told you

that you are not suited to be an architect.

Why do you say that?

When you were young,

you couldn't even draw an egg properly.

You smashed the model I gave you

to pieces at the time.

You said

that the thing you hate most is houses.

I said that out of anger.

You stood me up at that time.

So you broke the gift

I gave to you?

This is how you are.

You never consider my feelings.

Do you think I want to be your daughter?

You made me give up studying architecture.

Do you know how much

effort I've put in to get where I am today?

You just left,

leaving me, Dad, and Grandma behind.

Have you ever considered us?

Since I was a kid,

I've never received your praise.

You were never satisfied with me.

Everything I do is wrong.

So what do you want from me?

Want me to die like you?

Come out.

Come out.

Morning.

Here's your egg burger

and triple concentrated hot Americano.

Thank you.

A bug on your head.

It's a sleepy bug.

Really?

So sleepy?

I've already put my sleepy bug away.

Didn't you sleep well?

No.

I dreamt of my mom again

and quarreled with her,

saying a lot of harsh words.

Listen.

Show me a photo of your mom,

I can try to dream of her.

And then beg her in the dream

to stop quarrelling with you.

You brat!

No one would do that.

But I can show you

how cool my mom was.

My mom participated in

a heritage building restoration project in Europe.

She was the only Chinese girl on the team.

She liked this photo so much,

and used it as her profile picture.

Cool.

Just like you.

I really miss her.

We have many misunderstandings that were not resolved.

My dad said she left me a letter

before she died.

But that letter was accidentally

burned with my mom's clothes by my grandma.

I really want to know what was written in that letter,

but I might never know.

(Ying) Zhi, are you available this weekend?

I'll take the exam next month,

wanting to go pray.

Want to come along?

Let's go together.

I want to pray too.

Okay.

As long as it's not the Fertility Goddess.

Cheers.

Eat up, or it'll get cold.

(Blessing tree)

What wish are you making? You are so sincere.

Zhi, you're here.

Did you see

the shop selling wishing plaques?

Look, here.

Everyone,

do you want to buy wishing plaques?

Go straight over there,

and the shop is at the corner.

Then let's go buy some.

Okay.

Alright.

You go ahead. I'll look around.

I'll buy one for you.

Okay.

Alright. Let's go.

Okay.

Hello.

We only accept wishing plaques here. No letters.

Really?

Sorry.

What did that person just tell you?

He said I have a talent,

asked if I wanted to sever worldly ties.

What did you tell him?

My minds are a jumble

and I'm too obsessed.

Just an ordinary person.

Let's go buy wishing plaques.

I thought you didn't go.

You didn't want to buy it.

Now you do?

We have made our wishes,

and hung the plaques.

It should work, right?

Definitely.

Trust me.

Next year, I will wait for you in Beijing.

Okay.

I have to go back to finish my work.

I'll pay the bill.

I'll do it.

No, sit down.

Let's go.

You sit.

Okay. You do it.

Caught a cold?

Wear my jacket.

It's colder outside.

Let's go.

(Ms. Lin Qiudie.)

(Aunt Lin,)

(hello.)

(My name is Chen Luzhou.)

(I am Xu Zhi's boyfriend.)

(Xu Zhi said she quarreled with you in a dream.)

(I am a bit worried,)

(so I took the liberty to write you this letter.)

(I hope this won't bother you.)

(During the time I have been with her,)

(she has mentioned you several times.)

(I can tell from her words)

(that she has admired you greatly since childhood.)

(Your death was a huge blow to her.)

(She has always wanted your approval.)

(Perhaps her grades weren't good before,)

(but you might not know)

(she scored 738 in College Entrance Examination)

(and got into Huaguang University as the first place.)

(She is now a student of School of Architecture.)

(Her grades are excellent.)

(I wrote this letter only to tell you)

(that Xu Zhi is excellent)

(and loves you so much.)

(Just like you loved her.)

(You had been strict to her.)

(She loved playing water.)

(When she almost flooded the living room,)

(she got a scolding from you)

(and lost her pocket money for a month.)

(I can tell you were very angry.)

(But your most proud work)

(was built on water.)

(Perhaps when you drew the design drafts,)

(you were thinking of your daughter.)

(I want to ask you for a favor.)

(If she dreams of you again next time,)

(could you praise her)

(and say you love her?)

♪Listen to the cicadas in the midsummer♪

♪The reflection in your eyes♪

Chen Luzhou.

♪Moonlight spills over the endless clear sky♪

What's wrong?

♪The roar of the heartbeat♪

What's wrong?

♪Drew a trajectory♪

♪Crush, when night meets dawn♪

Thank you for your letter.

I didn't think you'd read it.

But I read it.

♪Baby, fall in my heart♪

♪Fervent, boiling love♪

♪How you long for the future♪

♪Charging recklessly, getting hurt♪

♪Fall in my heart♪

♪If tears fill your eyes♪

♪Let the damp wind stay in memories♪

♪We stand by each other among the crowd♪

Actually, there is something I didn't tell you.

What is it?

I met your dad before coming to Beijing.

Young man.

Want pan-fried buns?

Just a moment.

One portion.

Okay.

You won't

go abroad again, right?

Then you

and

Zhi...

I haven't contacted her.

H-Haven't contacted?

After returning, I have things to handle.

I'm not forbidding you two from dating,

but

she's my daughter.

I'm afraid she'll be deceived

or get hurt.

It's not that I don't trust you.

We are both men.

You know

men are no good.

My dad has never said these to me.

I guess so.

I planned to tell him about us

during the winter vacation.

Don't.

I think he's quite afraid of me.

For what?

Afraid I'll take his daughter away.

I didn't understand him before.

As a grown man,

why is he so dependent on you?

But after you told me about your mom,

I feel like he only has you now.

(Zhi)

(Zhi)

Hey, Dad.

Hello?

Are you Dr. Xu's daughter?

You are...

I am his caregiver.

He has gone downstairs.

I thought you might have an urgent matter, so I answered.

You're the caregiver.

What's wrong with my dad?

Is he not feeling well?

Not at all.

It's nothing major.

Today, someone made a scene at the hospital,

and something happened.

Your dad has a slight concussion.

Nothing serious.

Mr. Cai asked him to be admitted for observation.

Was he attacked?

No.

He was trying to break up a fight.

The floor was slippery after being mopped,

and he was in a hurry,

so slipped right after stepping out.

Is he okay?

He's fine. Don't worry.

By the way,

Mr. Cai gave him

an award for bravery.

He went to receive the award.

Okay.

It's good that he's fine.

I'm giving you a big award.

(Award for Attempting Bravely)

How do you feel? Happy?

Do you think I can be happy?

Explain it.

It is easy to understand.

Award for Attempting Bravely.

I was attempting bravely.

But you can't say so here.

Where's my prize?

By the hospital.

I've given you the award.

No prize.

I'll give you a fried bun.

How can you be so stingy?

For the hospital, I even

got a concussion. Feel it.

Back here.

There's even a bump.

See?

Feel it.

Let Ms. Wei feel it.

That won't do.

No prize, then...

Medical expenses.

No reimbursement.

What?

Then, sorry.

I can't take this.

This insults my dignity.

Okay.

I'll reimburse you myself.

Alright, come on.

You will reimburse me.

Be good. Take it.

I'll just hold onto this,

for you.

Alright.

Tell me.

Have you told

your daughter

about your act of bravery?

What for? No.

Wait.

Aren't you now on good terms

with Ms. Wei?

You should tell your daughter about it.

She is studying out of town now.

She will come back

during holidays.

Hiding this from her is not okay.

Your daughter is at a sensitive age now.

What if

she disagrees?

So,

she doesn't come back much.

I just want to delay

a bit.

Besides,

she just started college.

I'll wait till she graduates to bring it up.

You look a little embarrassed.

What?

Feeling embarrassed

towards your girl or Ms. Wei?

Well, it's hard to handle it.

It's okay. I understand you.

I understand you.

Are you okay?

I'm so mad.

Take a look.

Look.

What he gave me.

Well.

Award for Attempting Bravely.

I was so helpless. He...

He's just teasing me.

What kind of award is this?

Maybe many people

are laughing at me.

Do you think I'm useless?

No way.

That troublemaker was holding a knife,

standing in front of me.

So many people in the hospital,

only you stood out

to solve the problem.

You are a hero.

- This Mr. Cai. - I've risked it.

I'll go argue with him.

Don't.

I've got some compensation from him.

By the way,

your daughter called.

She sounded quite anxious.

Did you answer that?

Yes.

But rest assured.

I told her I'm your caregiver.

Sorry.

For me,

you even had to lie.

Not at all.

I know about your family's situation.

Xu Zhi is a very sensible and well-behaved child.

And my son has just entered high school.

I hadn't thought about reorganizing the family so soon.

We're taking care of each other now.

I have someone to care about in my heart.

I'm pretty content.

Wait until the children

get a stable job and life.

It's time for us to discuss our future.

Alright.

As you wish.

(Finished the call with my dad.)

(Shy Boy Chen) (Raining cats and dogs,)

(she said she would always love me.)

The data report you want

has just been printed out.

Calculate again to see

if it's right.

Okay.

(Rain cats and dogs) (Finished the call with my dad.)

(Shy Boy Chen) (How is Mr. Xu?)

(He is hospitalized, but nothing serious.)

(He fell because of the slippery floor.)

(Got a mild concussion.)

(Go back early to keep him company.)

(What does the saying in your profile mean?)

(I think you've already forgotten what you said)

(before.)

(I hope in your days without me,)

(your world will still shine brightly,)

(teeming with flowers and applause.)

(As long as it still rains in Qingyi)

(and the puppy wags its tail,)

(someone will always love you.)

Chen Luzhou, come over and take a look.

(Stop here.)

(Li Ke is asking me to finish the report.)

(You go to bed first. Good night.)

You are staying up so late

to work with me,

not chatting with Zhi.

If she knows, she won't be angry, right?

Get lost.

By the way,

Zhang Yu asked me to have a meal few days ago.

She asked me if you had time.

I told her you went

to date your girlfriend.

She asked me that,

and I said another day.

I remember that you two had a good relationship.

But now you don't seem close.

Let me tell you.

We've discussed privately

that she probably likes you.

What do you mean?

Feeling regretful?

Are you an idiot?

We were desk mates,

and interactions are needed.

But she doesn't like me.

Are you sure?

She often mentions you to me.

Now we're in college.

She still wants me to invite you.

Do you ever think of a possibility

that she likes you?

What? Me?

How is that possible?

If she liked me, I'd know.

You were such a blockhead back then,

only focused on studying.

You felt annoyed on playing.

How can you know she likes you?

Think it through.

During the final exams,

why did you

always have breakfast on your desk?

D-Didn't you buy it for me?

I'm nice to you,

but not that nice.

Zhang Yu brought you.

Chen Luzhou.

Don't be kidding.

Don't mess with me.

I am serious.

It's the truth.

Besides, you're a top student

and very handsome.

Have some confidence, okay?

What's wrong?

Feeling regretful?

Get lost.

Tell me once you've done.

Hello, everyone.

Mr. Wan is busy today,

so I'll be substituting.

Some of you might not know me.

My name is Bai Jiang.

After this class,

I hope you all learn something.

Don't let my teaching go to waste.

That student,

aren't you grouped?

No.

Sit in the second row.

Did everyone get the teaching aids?

- Yes. - Yes.

Today,

let's set the textbooks aside.

It's better to practice than to only learn theory.

Look.

Today I will teach you

about sandbox simulation management.

Let me announce the results.

We have a total of nine groups today.

Only Group Two and Four haven't gone bankrupt.

Now, let's have the two group leaders

introduce themselves.

Zhang Qikai, Class 2, Metalworking.

Group Four

relied on industrial upgrading to become bigger.

It is unquestionably the first place.

It is worth encouraging.

Group Two.

Sir,

I'm not from your college.

I'm here just to audit.

Audit?

Yes.

I wanted to transfer

to economics next year.

Today,

your group

surprised me the most.

When everyone

was committed to

industrial upgrading,

yet you relied on

producing basic products

to survive.

Tell me what you thought.

When we were halfway through the simulation,

we noticed our deficit was already large.

Since the market

is largely driven by supply and demand,

rather than blindly expanding,

we might take a risk,

focusing on basic products.

The profit is low,

but its market is broad.

Maybe we can make up for the deficit.

Well said.

Please sit.

Thank you, Sir.

Everyone heard that?

Today's assessment

fully illustrates a point.

Theory says

success comes only through industrial upgrading.

This path is crowded with people,

but there is more than one path to success in reality.

Just like our lives,

there is not only one

standard answer.

See.

This is a competition.

Moreover, it concerns the future of Chen Luzhou.

If he gets familiar with Professor Liu,

it'll help him switch majors and get

into grad school.

We should think for him, right?

But...

I appreciate your kindness.

But if it were me, I'd choose Bai Jiang.

I just audited his class.

And I read a few of his papers.

In terms of academic ability,

he's no worse than those popular mentors.

And somehow,

I feel he suits us better.

Alright.

You get two votes now.

I'll contact Bai Jiang then.

Hold on.

You're from the Computer Science School.

Why do you have his WeChat?

You support him so much.

Is he your relative?

Not yet. I suppose.

What do you mean?

Actually,

he's my girlfriend's dad.

Dad...

Wang Yue, you!

What?

For your own gain?

Luzhou also appreciates him.

At most, it's an accidental success.

Alright, just wait.

When Ke and I go to your wedding,

can we skip giving the wedding money?

You might get married quicker.

Looking at the two of you,

you could get married anytime.

Me and Xu Zhi?

- Yes. - Who else?

Are we that clingy?

You just realized?

In the passion phase.

Please bear with us.

Tolerate it for a moment of calm.

Step back and I'll get angry.

Attack!

Come on.

Time to celebrate Cai Yingying wrapping up her art exam.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Congratulations!

As long as you can get last year's score,

you're set for first-tier.

Don't worry. I'll study hard when I go back.

I'll study as hard as I can.

When are you going back?

Tomorrow.

So soon?

Zhi, I'm going to miss you.

It's only for a few days, right?

It's winter vacation soon,

and we'll be going back.

Alright.

By the way,

the date for the competition is set.

I won't go back.

No problem.

It's only for a few days.

Zhi.

We need to move forward.

Chen Luzhou, you've got some nerve.

What are you two doing?

I'm the boss today.

Let's drink.

- Come on. Keep drinking. - Cheers.

Cheers!

Cai Yingying,

I have to go prepare for my competition.

See you then, okay?

Alright.

Zhi, let's leave.

Zhi will leave with you?

She needs to go with me.

Okay, no problem. You guys go.

I'll accompany her.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

See you.

Thank you, Stylish Zhu.

For what?

Thank you for discovering a beautiful host.

Beautiful host.

I'll take you somewhere.

Why being mysterious?

You'll know it.

Alright.

Close your eyes. Don't peek.

Go up two more steps.

Are we there?

Two steps.

Why being mysterious?

Move forward.

What is it?

Not yet. Move forward.

Anything here?

No, you'll know soon.

Turn right.

Turn right.

Five more steps.

- One, two, three, four, turn right. - One, two, three, four.

Alright.

♪We are not afraid of the complicated world♪

How is it?

Zhu Yangqi's personal art exhibition?

You painted all these?

Of course.

Look, who is that?

That? That is me.

No way.

These legs need to be 10 centimeters longer.

And make this waist slimmer.

Make the eyes bigger.

And make the head smaller.

No, no.

I'm a painter, not a retoucher.

Okay?

Okay, Mr. Zhu, the great painter.

Name your price.

I'll buy this painting.

Okay.

Madam.

As a friend, I'll give you a big discount.

One million.
