All language subtitles for Genius Girlfriend Episode 4

[Genius Girlfriend]

[Episode 4]

Morning, Angel's Tears.

Morning, Scythe.

Still a fan of Han Geng?

If you ask me, you should be my fan.

I look so handsome
when playing basketball.

Don't even bring it up.
Just thinking about it ticks me off.

My mom doesn't even
let me go online anymore.

I've had it good these past few days.

My dad's over the moon,

all because I'm entering the math contest.

The math contest?

Who are you teaming up with?

Lin Zhixia and Shen Fuxuan.

Lin Zhixia?

Then I'd rather never go online
for the rest of my life.

You're dead last in the class.

Even if you wanted to join,

you'd need a team willing to take you.

I...

Get lost.

Fine, I'll go.

Make sure you don't show up late.

Wait for me!

The contest is only 10 days away.

Based on each of our strengths and needs,

I've put together a study plan.

Take a look.

Okay.

If we finish this plan before the contest,

we should be in good shape.

Take a look and see
if there's anything else

you think needs improvement.

Lin Zhixia,

this is 10 days' worth of work?

I have no problem with it.

Okay.

Okay.

Then let's get our things together

and meet at the library.

Okay.

I'm going to the restroom.

I'll catch up with you in a bit.

[A New Chapter, A New Journey]

I've got a problem.

Had I known it'd be this exhausting,
I wouldn't have joined.

Duan Qiyan,

let me see your study plan.

[A New Chapter, A New Journey]

I can't show it to you.

Aren't you our competitor?

It's classified information.

[A New Chapter, A New Journey]

Alright.

That's it for now.

[Please Keep Quiet in the Library]

We'll continue after school.

Okay.

We'll still be going after school?

Isn't today's workload a little too much?

Didn't you look at the schedule?

Why are you still complaining?

Actually, your fundamentals aren't bad.

Once you get used to
contest-style thinking,

it won't just help you in this contest—

it'll help with your studies
in the future too.

I don't know...

Duan Qiyan.

How's your contest prep going?

This is no way to live.

I've got an idea

that'll make things a lot easier for you.

Tell me more about it.

From what I saw of Lin Zhixia's plan,

her focus

is on developing your overall ability.

She wants to turn both of you
into versions of herself.

However, we want each person
to play to their strengths

and work together as a team.

You wouldn't need to study

all that advanced material—

just what's needed
for this contest specifically.

So, do you want to join our team?

[Registration Form]

Why is Duan Qiyan's name

on both of these forms?

[Registration Form]

Ms. Wu,

why don't we just ask Duan Qiyan himself?

I'm sorry, Lin Zhixia.

I think I'd be a better fit
on Jin Baihui's team.

I was actually planning

to tell you guys about this today.

But I didn't expect

the registration forms
to reach the teacher so fast.

Didn't you already promise Lin Zhixia?

You don't know.

Their training is way too intense.

I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up.

Didn't we agree on this before?

How can you be so disloyal?

Well...

This has nothing to do with loyalty.

Before registration closes,

every contestant has the right
to choose whichever team they want.

That's not wrong.

Alright, that's settled then.

There are only 2 days left
until registration closes.

Hurry up and find a new teammate.

That traitor Duan Qiyan,

so unreliable.

There are only 2 days left
until registration closes.

Where are we supposed to find someone now?

It's okay.

We'll find someone.

Duan Qiyan,

that was seriously lacking in team spirit.

I invited him.

Jiang Yubai,

do you think I'm targeting Lin Zhixia?

You're wrong.

I am helping you—helping our team.

You only care about defeating Lin Zhixia.

But this is a team competition,

not your personal show.

But he is Lin Zhixia's

hard-won teammate.

Duan Qiyan is a person,

not some object.

If he genuinely wanted to
stay on their team,

could I have still
gotten him to join ours?

Besides,

we didn't have a full team before,

and Duan Qiyan is a good fit.

Math modeling contest problems

often involve real-world scenarios.

Duan Qiyan is good at physics.

He can quickly identify
the physical principles behind a problem,

helping us avoid going down
unnecessary mathematical rabbit holes.

Isn't the whole point of the contest
to win?

So who exactly is the one
lacking team spirit here?

I'm sorry.

I let my personal feelings
affect the contest.

But originally, I thought that

if we needed to find a teammate,

it'd be much easier for us
than for Lin Zhixia.

That's true.

Even someone as easygoing as me

has already come to your team.

I figured no one would dare join hers.

Could you just talk a little less?

Let's go.

Attention, students.

This week,

the school will provide
centralized training for those registered

for the Star of Hope Math Contest

to improve your chances
of passing the preliminary round.

There will also be teams

from other schools
competing in the preliminary round.

Students, we cannot let our guard down.

The competition is fierce,

and the elimination rate is high.

During the training, the teachers
will move quickly through the lessons,

and there will be a lot of assignments.

Your academic workload will be very heavy.

The lecture hall
will stay open every day at noon,

so you can come here to rest.

[Lin Zhixia; Shen Fuxuan]

Let's push through this together.

And let's aim for good results.

Are you confident you can do this?

-Yes.
-Yes.

Good.

[Study Plan: Day 1]

[Past Exam Practice] [Review of Mistakes]

Here.

Forget about finding a teammate for now.

Want to solve a math problem
to clear your head?

What math problem?

One day,

a triangle, a circle, and a square

made plans to go shopping together.

The square and the circle both showed up.

What is this situation called?

This is a math problem?

I honestly don't know.

What is this situation called?

This situation is called

"a congruent triangle."
(Chinese pun: "congruent triangle" sounds like "everyone’s waiting for the triangle.")

Not funny?

It is funny.

You're hilarious.

I know you're trying to comfort me.

If only Duan Qiyan hadn't left.

The preliminary round is about to start.

Those who plan to participate

already have a team.

It's really not easy to find someone now.

Let's eat first.

It wasn't me.

If it wasn't you, then who was it?

The cabinet door opened by itself?

I don't know either.

It was like this when I came back.

Come on,

if you did it, just own up to it.

I'm telling the truth.

It wasn't me.

Then how come he saw you here?

Who?

Him!

You believe everything he says?

What are you, his lackey?

What's that supposed to mean?

What do I mean?

I'm just stating facts.
What's wrong with that?

You got a problem with that?

He was stating the facts too.

You were right here.

-Didn't I make myself clear?
-What happened?

They said Mr. Wang locked
the test papers for the first round

and the answer keys

inside the podium cabinet.

Someone picked the lock at noon today.

Not "someone."

It was Duan Qiyan.

Right, it was him.

While everyone else was
taking their lunch break,

he came here alone and picked the lock.

You say you weren't trying to
steal the answer keys, right?

Then at 12:30 PM,

when everyone had gone to eat,

why did you come here by yourself?

Were you really that busy?

It's because I brought a USB drive

and wanted to copy
the teachers' slides to take home.

The computer was in the drawer,
still plugged in.

Where else was I supposed to do it
but at the podium?

Who can prove it?

Exactly.

Who among you can prove it?

This is the teammate
you went to such great lengths

to recruit.

Shouldn't you show some team spirit
and help him out?

But Duan Qiyan's grades

are better than most people's.

Why would he steal the answer keys?

Exactly.

Did you hear that?

Why would I need to steal the answer keys?

You're out playing basketball
every single day.

You know better than anyone

where you actually stand academically.

If you didn't steal the answer keys,

how else could your grades be this good?

Duan Qiyan, can I take a look
at your USB drive?

When you were copying the files,

was the cabinet still intact?

Yes. I remember that very clearly,

because I started copying the files

at around 12:30 PM.

It only took about 2 minutes.

The more details you give,
the more suspicious you sound.

You didn't just memorize
the exact time on purpose, did you?

Kuang Geng, what are you implying?

-You don't know what I mean?
-What do you mean? Wanna pick a fight?

Isn't he just trying to stir up trouble?

When was the cabinet
discovered to be broken?

And who found it?

I found it.

I'd just finished lunch,

around 12:50 PM,

and when I came in,
the door was already open like that.

After copying the files,

I went to the cafeteria
to grab a chicken burger

and planned to bring it back here to eat.

You and I—

we went back here one after the other.

How could it possibly have been me?

I was napping in this classroom
the whole time.

No one came in during that period—

only you.

You were napping here the whole time?

Yeah.

In that case...

there are very few witnesses.

Your statement is crucial.

You need to think carefully
before you speak.

A real man owns up to what he does.

If I'd done this, I'd definitely admit it.

But I really didn't do it.

Quit making things up about me.

Who's making things up?

Who's making things up?

-How are we making anything up?
-I said you two.

I haven't even...

What are you doing?

Starting a riot?

Who opened the cabinet?

Sir,

he did.

Seriously, Liu Su?
Are you ever going to stop?

Hey, you dropped this.

It's not mine.

If I'd really picked that lock,

I'd have taken the exam papers out

and smashed you over the head with them—

then you'd finally come in first place!

Smash me then!

Stop it! Both of you!

Mr. Wang, Duan Qiyan is innocent.

I checked the timestamp

of the files on his USB drive.

They were transferred at exactly 12:37 PM.

What does that prove?

He could've copied the files

and looked at the answer keys
at the same time.

Besides,

Kuang Geng already saw him.

Let's make an assumption.

If you were Duan Qiyan,

what would you do first—
look at the answer keys

or copy the files?

If it were me,

I'd take advantage of the empty room

and read through the answer keys first.

That way,

I'd also copy the files afterward
to cover my tracks.

Right now, there are files

on Duan Qiyan's USB drive.

If he really were the culprit,

that would mean
he would've already calmly read

the answer keys in secret,

then covered his tracks
by copying the files.

But the actual scene right now

looks like a complete mess—

which shows that the culprit

fled in a panic.

Duan Qiyan isn't the culprit.

Impossible.

That whole analysis of yours

is just speculation.

Kuang Geng,

I remember you said
that during the lunch break,

only Duan Qiyan came back, right?

Right.

Then this problem becomes very simple.

If Duan Qiyan isn't the culprit,

then it must be you, Kuang Geng.

You're slandering me
with baseless accusations!

I was napping at the time.

Maybe someone else came in...

At noon today,

I saw a paper clip

fall out of your pants pocket.

I picked it up and gave it back to you,

but you denied it was yours.

I thought it was strange at the time—

why did you refuse to admit

it was yours?

Let's make another assumption.

Before lunch today, Kuang Geng had already

planned to use a paper clip
to pick the lock

and steal the answer keys.

Finally, lunch break arrived.

Everyone left the classroom,

and you got your chance.

But at that exact moment,

Duan Qiyan came back.

So you could only pretend to nap.

After Duan Qiyan left,

you took out the paper clip
you'd prepared beforehand,

picked the lock,
and started looking at the answer keys.

Halfway through,

you heard the sound of students
coming back toward the classroom,

so you hastily put the answer keys back.

Whatever the result,

let's leave it in fate's hands.

You fled in a rush
without even having time

to clean up the scene.

Another assumption?

How do you come up with so much nonsense?

I'm warning you—

without solid evidence, you should also

be careful about what you say.

The lock cylinder has diagonal scratches,

deeper on the left
and shallower on the right,

which shows the culprit is left-handed.

And in this classroom,

only Kuang Geng is left-handed.

How did you know that?

Everyone, you can check the positions

of the books and water cups on the desks.

Everyone else has theirs placed
on the right;

only Kuang Geng has his on the left.

Also, because we write frequently,

we wear our watches

on our non-dominant wrist.

Everyone, you can check
Kuang Geng's watch.

He's wearing it on his right wrist.

I also noticed just now

that there's a tiny blue mark
on the lock cylinder.

It should be from the coating
on the paper clip peeling off.

Given how little time you had,

you probably weren't able to
get rid of the paper clip.

So I guess

the paper clip you used to pick the lock

is still in your pocket.

Mr. Wang, look.

Zhixia,

you stayed calm earlier,
thought things through logically,

and exposed the person
who was really cheating.

That deserves praise.

However, I still have to
call you out on one thing:

you were a bit reckless today.

Why?

You're all in adolescence now.

Pride and dignity
matter more than anything.

By exposing him in front of everyone,

you've basically
made an enemy, understand?

I understand.

But they were falsely accusing Duan Qiyan
at the time.

The situation was urgent,

so I didn't think that far.

I understand.

If something similar happens again,

tell the teacher your reasoning

and let the teacher handle it.

I'm just worried
he might try to get revenge on you.

You're a girl. Who will protect you then?

-Me.
-Me.

And me!

From today on,

I, Duan Qiyan, swear to protect
Lin Zhixia with my life.

Isn't it a little over the top
for the three of you

to walk me home like this?

Not at all.

It's what I should do.

Zhixia, not only did you help me
find my sports player cards,

but you also defended my innocence.

I owe you my life for this.

So, Zhixia,

if you ever need any help in the future,

tell me immediately.

Duan Qiyan,

your attitude sure did a 180.

You have some nerve saying that.

If it weren't for you,

would she have had all this trouble?

Zhixia,

I know
your team is still missing a member.

But I've already submitted
my contest registration form.

Trying to go back to your team now

probably isn't realistic.

But if I really can't
find another teammate,

I might not be able to participate.

I have someone in mind.

Who?

Mom, don't force me to participate

just because Duan Qiyan signed up.

His grades are way better than mine.

Wouldn't it be ridiculous
for someone with my math scores

to enter a math contest?

I've noticed something.

You're absolutely
the biggest backtalker in this house.

Every time I say anything,

you've always got a comeback ready.

I'm your mother.

Isn't this all for your own good?

Then why is it

that other kids have all signed up,

but my kid can't?

What other kids?

Isn't it just Lin Zhixia
who has signed up?

She's the top student in the whole school.

If she doesn't participate, who will?

Hardly anyone
from other classes signed up.

Why do you have to compare yourself
to students from other classes?

Can't you just
compare yourself with Lin Zhixia?

If you must compare me to Lin Zhixia,

I've got more friends than she does.

Why don't you compare
that strength of mine to hers?

Does the college entrance exam
test popularity?

C-Can having lots of friends
get you into top universities?

Seriously.

Tang Tingting,

I've realized something now.

I-I've realized
your problem isn't your studying.

It's your mindset.

Your attitude is the real problem.

Fine then, you don't have to sign up.

Hand over all those

a-albums of yours.

Mom!

I already told you
I'm not cut out for this.

Are you seriously
going to force me to join?

Fine, I'll go sign up tomorrow.

But if I get eliminated
in the first round,

don't complain that I embarrassed you.

I'll be embarrassed?

Who will really be embarrassed?

Where are you going?

To clear my head.

Tingting.

Why are you all here?

I was just looking for you.

Looking for me? What for?

I'd like to invite you
to join my team for the math contest.

What a coincidence.

I was actually planning to
find two people tomorrow

to sign up with.

But I won't team up with you.

Why?

I'm only entering
to get my mom off my back.

I'll be perfectly happy
getting eliminated in the first round.

How could I
drag the top student down with me?

Are you stupid?

This is such a great opportunity.

Let us talk alone.

It's close to my home anyway.

You guys should head back.

Alright. We'll head back first.

Aren't you leaving?

This is our team's business.

Of course I'm staying.

Alright.

Come on. Let's go.

You guys are really something,

asking me to be your teammate.

You really couldn't find anyone else, huh?

Yes.

Registration is closing soon.

Finding two teammates at the last minute

would be hard for you too, right?

I'm not aiming for any prizes.

I'll just find any two people.

Who's going to join you just to get
knocked out in the first round?

If you pick me,
you'll be eliminated in the first round.

Don't make things harder on yourselves.

You'd better find someone else.

Have you ever thought about

getting first place
to get your mom off your back?

Me?

Since you're signing up anyway,

wouldn't it be a shame

to get eliminated in the first round?

So what am I supposed to do?

That's the best I can do.

Of course, you wouldn't pull it off alone.

But if you join Lin Zhixia's team,

winning first place

isn't entirely impossible.

Right?

Yes.

There's still some time
before the preliminary round.

I can make
an intensive study plan for you.

An intensive study plan?

Isn't that exactly what broke Duan Qiyan?

Just because he couldn't handle it
doesn't mean you can't.

He likes to have fun,

but his grades are still pretty good.

His old nickname

was the "King of
the Affiliated Elementary School."

You earned your place

in the experimental class too.

Don't sell yourself short.

Imagine

what will happen if you get first place

in the contest.

If I get first place...

my mom will probably
buy me the latest phone

and treat me to a big meal.

Maybe she'll even stop nagging me
about idol-chasing.

Leave it to me.

I'll do everything I can
to lead the team to first place.

So?

Are you willing to join our team?

You really want me as your teammate?

I was so mean to you before,

and I even gave you
that nickname, "Immortal."

You don't mind?

Lots of people call me that.

I'm used to it.

Then let me make one thing clear first.

I'm really not good at math.

If I mess up, you can't blame me.

Enough talking.

Since you've joined us,

commit to it.

Aiming for first place
in the entire province.

What do you say?

My two teammates?

Deal.

Deal.

Deal.

This is a geometric sequence
where we're solving for the common ratio q.

So set point B... This point.

Assume point B equals point A...
Write it down.

A1 plus A2 plus A3...

Then...

Stop.

Do you understand it, Shen Fuxuan?

Yeah.

What's so hard to understand?

She's explained it so many times already.

I know.

But I still don't quite get it.

That's okay.
We can go over it a few more times.

How about this? We can study at my place.

We can talk as loudly as we want there.

And maybe when my mom sees

how hard I'm studying,

she'll get so happy

that she'll give me back
my precious albums.

Please.

I haven't listened to his songs in ages.

All right. Let's gather our stuff.

Okay.

Then let me finish this problem.
Two minutes.

Okay.

We'll wait for you at the door.

Okay.

Tang Tingting's riding
Lin Zhixia's coattails into the contest—

she's pretty lucky.

Tang Tingting's dead last in the class.

Shen Fuxuan is okay, though.

But no matter how strong Lin Zhixia is,

she can't carry a hopeless team.

You have a point.

I should study hard too.

Need something?

Sounds like you all have some
strong opinions about what makes a team.

I'd really like to know

what kind of results a deserter...

a perennial runner-up...

and a measly seventh place

can possibly achieve together.

Jeez.

Aren't our grudges settled?

Why does he still talk that way?

That guy, Shen Fuxuan,

has such a sharp tongue,

he might cut himself with it.

Lin Zhixia, how are you still studying
while just standing there?

There's actually a much simpler way
to solve this problem.

Hold on.

Let me take a break. I'm exhausted.

Then look at it again
when we get to your place.

I'm going to find Jiang Yubai.

He asked me about it during class.

Lin Zhixia, they're our competitors.

I know.

But Jiang Yubai is also my good friend.

Don't worry.

They won't use

the exact same problems
during the actual contest.

Jiang Yubai,

you saw how Shen Fuxuan acted just now.

Do you know where you stand now?

I've always known.

Good.

Then our team's goal

is to defeat Lin Zhixia.

And I want to beat them so thoroughly
they have no choice but to accept it.

Same goal here.

I feel like you two are fired up now.

So motivated.

Oh, right.

Jiang Yubai,

you and Lin Zhixia are so close.

If

we beat them,

what will happen to your friendship?

I've always wanted to beat Lin Zhixia.

This contest is our best chance.

Right now, I don't see a friend—

I see my rival.

I've always wanted to beat Lin Zhixia.

This contest is our best chance.

Right now, I don't see a friend—

I see my rival.

Lin Zhixia.

Morning.

Morning.

Let's look at
this original contest problem.

An insulated container is divided

by a partition
into a gas chamber and a vacuum.

The partition is removed,
allowing the gas to expand freely.

Lin Zhixia, could you explain

the problem the teacher just covered?

Sorry.

I wasn't listening to
what the teacher was saying.

As the molecules spread farther apart,
their potential energy increases,

their kinetic energy decreases,

and the temperature drops.

Don't simply apply the ideal gas model
from the textbook.

This is a key testing point.

Pay attention to it.

Free activity time's over.

Everyone, gather here.

Before class ends today,

let's have a fun team obstacle course—

the three-legged race.

It'll help develop your coordination

and teamwork.

Now pair up freely.

Find yourselves a partner.

But I must emphasize one rule:

each team must consist of

one boy and one girl.

Okay.

Go find your partners.

Who should we ask?

Lin Zhixia, let's team up.

Okay.

I...

Jiang Yubai.

Let's team up.

Let's go.

Let's pair up.

Let's go, Chun.

Aren't I your teammate?

Am I invisible or something?

Wanna team up with me?

Water.

What's wrong?

You seem to have a lot on your mind.

I heard you said yesterday

that from now on,

we're only opponents, not friends.

Because of this contest,

are we not even friends anymore?

Actually, before we formed teams that day,

Mr. Kong told me

that you already have what it takes
to skip ahead and go to university early,

but I don't.

Those words really struck a chord with me.

This contest

is a great opportunity to prove myself.

That's why, when we were choosing teams,

I deliberately avoided
partnering with you.

I want to give it everything I've got

and compete against you

without any distractions.

I also want to see,
after working so hard for so long,

just how big
the gap between us really is.

Is this contest
really that important to you?

Yes.

Very important.

This was yet another setback

in my social life.

I suddenly find myself doubting

whether all those promises
we made to work hard together

were just my personal illusion.

It turns out Jiang Yubai's true pride

lies in having a rival
worthy of defeating.

And "friend"

was nothing more than a label
I gave myself out of wishful thinking.
