[Summit of Our Youth]

[Episode 19]

Don't give them any chance.

Okay.

Watch me take them down.

Blue team scores again.

I'm at their flag now.

Bring it straight back.

Don't let the spinner move at all.

Blue team scores again.

It's fine.

Found a loophole.

Go from here.

Okay.

Blue team scores.

[UFE VS CU 18:18] Score is now

18 to 18.

Captain, I'm here.

Okay.

Shu Lan, let's attack together.

Okay.

It's fine, don't rush.

Go.

I'm in.

Red team scores.

I'm in.

Blue team scores.

[UFE VS CU 20:20] 20 to 20.

Final round.

Ready.

- Ready. - Ready.

I'm ready.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the match is counting down.

This will be the final round.

Let's wait and see.

The car is shaking badly now.

Both sides are fighting

for control.

Okay.

With a nice spin, the controlled car

stops in Blue team's zone.

Blue team takes the final win.

Everybody,

as the final buzzer

goes off,

the winner of NISC

goes to

Capital University.

Thanks to the two teams

from both universities

for bringing us this amazing match.

Let's applaud

our champion

and the runner-up.

CU…

Champion…

We won!

CU…

What's going on?

Didn't you say it was foolproof?

CU…

I've got a surprise for you later.

What surprise?

Now, let's welcome the champion

to the stage.

CU…

I heard after we broke down,

you made the counter plan.

Almost took me down.

If it were you,

would you give me a break?

Of course not.

But I gotta say,

you're really good.

Congrats.

CU…

Please welcome Ms. Zheng

to present the award to our champion.

Congrats.

Congrats.

You guys are so lucky.

Fair and square.

We earned it.

CU…

Congrats to Capital University

for coming back in the last ten minutes

and taking the title.

Everyone here

was all nervous for you.

Any words for the crowd?

This win

is from

years of training.

The match had some twists,

but the result was no surprise.

I'd like

to thank someone

for the huge support for us.

Gu Xuejiao.

We're in public.

Careful there.

That person is

Ms. Zheng from B&C Motors.

Ms. Zheng,

the captain thanks you by name.

Is that because

you have a long-standing arrangement

with them?

Uh,

Miss,

shouldn't you be focusing

on the winning team?

Ms. Zheng,

B&C and CU's honorary captain

Lin Zhihua

are in an industry–academia collaboration.

Was this title

of Capital University

prearranged?

I assure everyone

this contest was

fair and square.

No shady deals at all.

Please interview

the champion team.

Let them enjoy this moment.

Ms. Zheng,

may I ask

if this competition you hosted

represents the highest level

nationwide?

Absolutely.

Does that mean

Capital University's intelligent info tech

is now number one in the country?

Xuejiao's move is brilliant.

Here, I want to announce something

to everyone.

CU's intelligent info tech

will be applied to

the C1 driverless car developed

by our honorary captain Lin Zhihua.

Ms. Zheng,

do you have faith in C1?

You've all seen

the competition results.

And it's a contest

hosted by B&C itself.

If the host itself has no confidence

in the champion,

then how are we,

the competing teams and users,

supposed to feel?

♪ Block out nonsense, none of it matters ♪

Ms. Zheng,

please answer my question.

Do you have confidence

in the champion

selected by B&C Motors?

♪ Charge toward the finish, no matter how hard the task ♪

Of course,

I have confidence.

She admitted our technology

on behalf of B&C

in front of the media.

Does that mean

she won't cause us trouble anymore?

Someone who caused trouble once

will definitely do it again.

Shu Lan.

Can't you say something nicer?

Yeah…

Alright, fine.

Gu Xuejiao

is quite something.

I believe Capital University's

future cooperation with B&C

will only

get better.

♪ Don't let anyone put my life in quotes ♪

Everybody,

Ms. Zheng

has something to attend to.

I'll answer questions for her.

Please come here.

Come over here.

Just you wait.

This isn't over.

So this is your so-called surprise?

How was it?

Do you like it?

Super satisfying.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Hello!

Why do you come so early?

I haven't even finished setting up yet.

I wanted to come early

to help you with that.

You bought all these things?

Zhiyue…

Wait.

Lin Zhiyue,

thank you for coming.

Calling me by my full name,

what's up?

We can talk later.

Let's focus on setting up first.

You bought these flowers, too?

They're really pretty.

[Lin Zhiyue, I like you.]

Is this…

Actually,

there's no celebration.

I prepared all this for you.

Shiyun.

Shiyun.

What?

Your sister won.

Aren't you gonna congratulate her?

Don't be so down.

It's just a gold medal.

I have tons of them.

I'll bring some for you.

Are you showing off?

No, absolutely not.

I mean

I can give you

all the gold medals I won

at design contests.

If you find it not enough,

I…

I'll keep competing and winning.

By then,

Xuejiao will have only one gold medal,

but you'll have so many.

You still beat her.

I don't need it.

I will earn

my own medals.

Shiyun, don't be mad.

I'm not saying second place is bad.

I just mean

you're already amazing.

Rank doesn't really show

your true strength.

Believe in yourself.

Your future will be brighter.

I'm bad with words,

always making you mad.

Just now, I saw

you were gonna lose.

So I googled some comforting quotes

for second place.

No need to comfort the second place.

No…

Look at this one.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose.

Being happy matters most.

Who says I'm not happy?

You don't have to pretend.

If you're upset,

just say it.

You wanna cheer me up.

It's easy.

Just promise me.

Promise what?

Just promise me

that in your heart,

I'm always number one.

This is the work schedule

for working on

the new lab model,

made by the champion captain.

This is the date schedule

made for the captain herself

by her boyfriend.

- Let me see. - Let me see.

[Capital University Autonomous Driving Laboratory]

[Work Schedule]

Not bad.

[Date Schedule]

Covering both food and entertainment.

Pretty good.

But…

Too time-consuming.

Right.

Dates take up too much time.

I'm saying

this work schedule is

unreasonable.

We gotta consider

the whole lab's

efficiency.

Working so hard,

are you trying to be

the lab's big boss

after I graduate?

Well, that's only a matter of time.

I just want to learn more from you

while you're here.

I can already imagine

what you'll be like when you grow up.

Just like my sister,

a career woman.

[Capital University Team Stripped of] Capital University Team

[the NISC Title over Rule Violation] was stripped of the NISC title

by the Committee

due to rule violation.

Shameless.

Let's go.

Where?

Time for the final battle.

Ms. Zheng,

why did you cancel

our championship?

You mean this?

We received complaints

about rule violations

by the Capital University team

during the competition.

The committee decided

to disqualify you

and revoke the championship.

I'm in a tough spot, too.

After all,

I told all the media

that I had faith in you.

Who filed the complaint?

Many people.

It would hurt

B&C's reputation.

You are the one

who's been damaging

B&C's reputation.

Dr. Cai,

I didn't expect you'd come…

I've always admired

the speed of tech reserves

in the Asia region,

especially in your area.

I often praise your team

in front of other regional teams.

Thank you, Dr. Cai.

But I didn't know

your promotion and rewards

came at the cost of

stealing so many

tech achievements

from all these startups.

[Joint Letter]

No…

So, it was you…

Wait, Dr. Cai.

I talked to each one of them

on your list.

Here's what

they sent back to me.

What list?

Ugh…

Yes, it was me.

Give me the contacts

of all the teams

B&C has screwed over.

I know you must have them.

[According to Articles 275, 263, 286, and 29 of the Criminal Law]

[of the People's Republic of China, the gang of thugs that attempted robbery]

[and damaged another person's property]

[were sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years.]

[Zheng Qin, who instigated the gang and incited Lin Jiadong to plant a virus, ]

[was found guilty of the crime of destroying a computer information system]

[and sentenced to one year in prison.]

[In addition, Zheng Qin was investigated and dismissed by B&C Motors]

[for manipulating the competition.]

[According to Article 24 ]

[if, during the course of a crime, a person voluntarily abandons]

[the criminal act or effectively prevents the criminal result from occurring, ]

[it constitutes a voluntary withdrawal.]

[For such cases, if no harm is caused, the person shall be exempt from punishment;]

[if harm is caused, the punishment shall be mitigated.]

[As Lin Jiadong voluntarily ceased his criminal conduct in time, ]

[he shall not be held criminally liable.]

I'm terribly sorry

to let you see this.

Lin,

thanks to you,

B&C Motors got

to root out this big mole.

Don't worry.

We will deal

with this seriously.

It won't affect

our future cooperation.

Sorry, Dr. Cai,

we've decided to end

our tech partnership

with B&C Motors.

Why?

Everyone knows

we and other startups

have been

treated unfairly.

Your company breached the contract first.

We have the right

to choose not to cooperate.

It's a demonstration of contract spirit.

Alright,

I respect your choice.

But

if you ever

need help,

you can always reach out to me.

I will.

So you already contacted

Dr. Cai.

Just like that,

you took Ms. Zheng down.

And you even lied to me about it.

I gotta thank you, champion.

Otherwise, how could we

have a legit reason?

Of course.

You have to pick the fruit

yourself.

Can't just wait

for the enemy to surrender.

Let's go.

Let's have a little celebration.

You forgot the schedule?

I have lab work this afternoon.

I'll help you.

More effective.

Let's relax now.

Lin,

you were fully prepared this time.

It was a close call.

But I hope next time,

if you have something,

you can tell me first.

I can be the person

you trust completely.

Okay?

Trust.

Trust.

Should I tell you

what I already know?

Good job, Petal.

You not only saved C1

out of B&C's traps

unscathed,

but also made a name for yourself.

Wanna give your sister's

investment pool a push

by bringing the project to Linqi?

I didn't come to you

for this, Zhiyue.

Then it's

for your relationship?

I've been

keeping something from Xuejiao.

I wanted to tell her many times,

but didn't get the chance.

Now I feel like

I have to tell her.

Don't look at me like that.

She's hiding the same thing

from me.

I just worry that

if I say it out loud,

it will ruin our relationship.

What if she thinks differently?

So what is it?

I can't tell you.

You wouldn't believe me anyway.

It's not important.

What can't you tell me?

You haven't said anything yet.

How do you know I won't believe you?

Mark my words.

Girls hate it most

when you're not honest.

What exactly happened?

Tell me.

I still plan

to sell C1 to B&C Motors.

That's it?

Hello, Xuejiao.

Where are you?

On my way back to the lab.

I'm

going to put the trophy

in the lab.

After all,

we earned this together.

I'll come and find you.

What's wrong?

Talk later.

I'm off.

What is it?

So mysterious.

You're the girl

who kissed in the hospital.

What?

What kiss?

Kid,

why are you here

all alone?

My mom went to the restroom.

She told me to wait here.

Besides,

I'm not a kid.

I'm already in fifth grade.

Okay…

Adult, let me stay with you

and wait for your mom.

Let's go.

Guess who I ran into.

Study so hard?

Messi's Legendary Journey?

You like soccer?

Yeah.

Did you catch the last

World Cup qualifier?

China beat Korea one to zero.

Of course.

Thanks to me,

I had over 100 people watching with me.

It was so intense.

You're just like your boyfriend.

A bragging big talker.

What did he brag about?

Tell me.

He'll get here later.

We'll call him out to his face.

That's not gonna happen

because his big talk

actually came true.

Came true?

Yeah.

He told me in the hospital

that China would win one to zero.

And he was right.

He also said

Messi would win

the 2022 World Cup.

That's years away.

Your boyfriend…

Actually, I have a secret.

Actually, I have a secret, too.

My mom said…

Do you wanna know

what you'll be like

ten years from now?

I've liked you for ten years.

Xuejiao.

Why are you sitting here?

I've been looking for you.

Remember where this is?

Actually, I have a secret.

What secret?

You remember it all now?

If I hadn't

run into that kid today,

how long were you gonna keep it from me?

Sorry.

Believe it or not,

I planned

to tell you today.

And I've been waiting

for the right moment.

When is

the right moment anyway?

I'm afraid the memories of both lives

will get mixed up.

It might hurt us.

I'm afraid that if I tell you,

you won't accept it.

You know what's

most unacceptable?

It's you

who looked down on me in the last life.

Even in this new life,

you still

treat people like idiots.

Xuejiao, it's not what you think.

I have never

thought of you that way.

But that's exactly what you did!

You knew everything.

I…

I know it's too late

to say anything now.

But I planned to tell you

before signing

the C1 transfer agreement with B&C.

But…

You're selling C1?

Can you get the ball for us?

Thanks.

Xuejiao, let me explain.

Don't explain.

I don't wanna hear it.

Why do I have to listen

when you want to talk?

Xuejiao…

Don't follow me!

Sorry,

the seat is…

I didn't want to come.

I was supposed to meet with your brother.

Then where is he?

Ask your boyfriend.

[Xuejiao, I'm downstairs. Can we talk?]

I'm celebrating

that I

finally see someone clearly.

Not that great, though.

Spill it.

Why did you

fight with my sister?

Did you fall for someone else?

Am I that kind of person?

What else would a man care about?

Looks like

no man escapes

the natural law.

What natural law?

Food, sex, and desire.

That's human nature.

But if you dare

hurt my sister…

"By nature, we desire food and sex."

I did hurt your sister's

trust in me a bit,

but it's not because of those.

Then, what is it?

Tell me, hurry.

I just told

a white lie.

Isn't a white lie

still a lie?

A white lie

means it's forgivable?

What white lie?

That's just an excuse.

What matters most

in a relationship?

It's trust!

If you love her,

be 100% honest with her.

Lies you tell

for her own good…

Does she really feel good about them?

That's just what you think.

No matter how deeply you're in love,

you're still two different people.

He can't be exactly

how you want.

Got it?

If you truly meant well,

then lies told

for the other's good

aren't that bad,

right?

Thoughts matter,

not just the actions.

What about my brother?

Did he escape the natural law?

Your brother

is different.

He's different.

Your phone.

Not answering.

I'll answer it for you then.

Hello?

Ms. Sun,

your bestie is wasted.

Come and pick her up.

My words didn't help anyway.

Okay.

Sun Tiantian.

[Laboratory Building]

You hungry?

No, I don't wanna eat.

Come on, have some.

Smells good.

Where's my card?

Wenbo,

your senior brought it for you.

Thanks, Xuejiao.

It's alright.

Gotta grab some food.

[Self-service Library Borrowing and Returning System]

Boyfriends come and go.

Sisters stand strong.

Hi, Dad?

Hey, you little brat,

what's going on?

Why did you come back without a word?

Did you get into trouble over there

and sneak back home?

Dad, give me some credit.

My visa expired.

I came back to renew it.

Wait,

I remember your visa

still has plenty of time left.

It's my turn to submit the paperwork.

Dad, I gotta go.

I'll go home right after.

Bye-bye.

This kid…

Something's off.

This is all for

the Xuejiao that you keep thinking about.

Hello.

These are all flowers

we botany majors

cultivated ourselves.

Would you like any help?

What flowers do you give someone for a breakup?

Breakup?

If you're trying to win her back…

No…

Not me.

My friend.

She broke up with her boyfriend.

I just wanna get her a bouquet

to cheer her up.

Why do you look so happy

about her breakup?

Do I?

I'm really sorry for her.

This one.

Yellow.

May their love

turn completely sour.

Wrap it up for me.

Okay.

Xuejiao.

I know

honesty is the foundation of everything.

But sometimes,

hiding something isn't out of malice.

To you, my past self is just

a bunch

of awful memories.

That day when I found out

you were the one I was tutoring,

I thought that

if this was fate,

then let's start over.

I thought that

keeping some things from you

would actually be better.

But I was wrong.

Does it sound like

I'm making excuses?

Screw your white lies.

But I was wrong.

Any concealment or deceit

is just irresponsibility.

Forgive me for hesitating

and not telling you the truth sooner.

I apologize

for my selfishness.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

I don't think

I need to explain it.

This is the lab.

It's work hours.

Don't disturb them.

Please leave.

I'm here for Xuejiao,

not for you.

What?

Do I need your permission?

You're not her boyfriend anymore.

Who says I'm not?

You don't need to know.

I know what I know.

Do you know what yellow roses mean?

Why are you asking?

Look it up.

Xuejiao must be very happy

to have an old friend

like you, all brawn.

All brawn?

What do you mean?

Yellow roses are the only kind of roses

without a romantic meaning.

They symbolize friendship and care.

Hello, Tiantian.

It's me…

I just got back.

I called you

as soon as I landed.

Yeah, I miss you, old friend.

Actually,

I need a favor from you.

Coming…

Come in.

Sun Tiantian is using us

to test her new milk tea again.

We should start charging her.

Everyone's getting work-fat.

We've all put on weight lately.

What Sun Tiantian?

That's Ms. Sun.

Peach oolong tea,

zero sugar, less ice, crunchy popping boba

instead of normal boba.

Thanks.

Exactly what I wanted.

Yi Tianyu?

How did you…?

Surprise?

I told you,

as long as I want,

there's nowhere

I can't get to and nothing

I can't pull off.

You did pull off a bit of a shock.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Xuejiao's high school classmate.

A very close one.

Pick whatever flavor you want.

Thanks…

What flavor do you want?

I forgot.

You don't drink this.

Says who?

No need to force yourself.

I love milk tea.

You…

Hurry and pick your milk tea.

Don't hold up the line.

Yeah.

And you.

Leave if you're done.

Don't hold people up at work.

[Turn Humiliation into Strength]

[Certificate of Honor Second Prize

[in Children's Piano Competition]

You've come home?

I'm just back to grab some stuff.

I'll take

the useful things back to my dorm.

You can throw away

the rest

before moving out.

Who said we're moving?

The more people think we're down and out,

the more we have to keep our pride.

Mom,

don't be so proud.

Just face reality.

Sell the house

and pay off debts.

Maybe

there's a chance to start over.

You've always lived

by what others think.

To hold on

to your pride,

are you really happy?

That's why I think you're hopeless.

You couldn't beat Gu Xuejiao on the college entrance exam.

Finally got a chance

to be in a national contest,

and you lost to her again.

Sometimes I wonder

if you do this on purpose.

Are you just fighting me

to make me angry and embarrass me?

Now look,

she moved into a big house.

And we're moving

from a fancy neighborhood

to an old rundown place.

Would you want to live there?

Is the second place in the national contest

so embarrassing?

Who in this world

would remember second place?

I've always given you

the best since you were little.

But you?

Look at these.

Look.

How many first places have you won?

My daughter

shouldn't lose to anyone.

Forget it,

maybe that's just your fate.

Yes.

Back then, when I couldn't

get first in class,

you yelled at me.

But when I finally

got first place in my grade in English,

you still complained

that my total score wasn't high enough.

Sometimes

I'm curious that

if I had

got into Capital University

and won first place

in the national contest,

would you really be content?

No, you're never content.

Because in your eyes,

I'll never be the daughter

who truly makes you proud.

So sometimes,

I even forget

that maybe

I'm actually quite good.

Yeah,

I lost this competition,

but I lost with honor.

Second place nationwide

is just the beginning of my science track.

From now on,

I won't be

swayed by anyone's opinions.

By the way,

I'm not moving

to the new house.

I'll live on my own.

Shiyun,

if you're sad,

it's okay to cry.

Then,

let's go.

I'll take you to eat something good.

You walked all the way with me

from my doorstep to here.

Why didn't you

ask me

why I'm crying?

When you're down,

I just wanna be there with you.

And I've been calling you,

but you never picked up.

Seeing you okay now

means everything.

Say that again.

I said something wrong again.

Don't cry…

Alright… I'm sorry…

Don't cry…

Alright, don't cry…

Hush now…

What…

are you looking at?

You

look like you've got tears

'ascending to the blue sky'. [♪Originally 'A line of white egrets]

'ascending to the blue sky'. [ascends to the blue sky.']

Your foundation is melting off.

You…

If you don't know how to use poetry,

don't just throw it around.

You actually look better now

than when you're crying.

You mean I look ugly when crying?

I never said that.

That's not what I meant.

I swear.
