[Our Generation]

[Episode 3]

Earlier in the park,

we didn't finish our conversation.

I came here now because some things

are just between the two of us.

I want to speak to you alone.

Go ahead.

The journal I sent you

didn't include words such as "I like you."

How can it be considered a love letter?

I only sent you the journal because Chun Lu died.

Jiang Qiao Xi, can Chun Lu be your daughter?

I want to call her Jiang Chun Lu.

Even in a very distant provincial city,

you must remember you have a daughter.

Jiang Chun Lu, from now on, you will be Jiang Chun Lu.

Be good and wait for Daddy to come back.

You're so childish, Jiang Qiao Xi.

I gave Chun Lu to you as a daughter, only as a make-believe game.

Chun Lu is my daughter.

She has nothing to do with you.

At first, I only wanted to write an obituary,

but then I added some things about Qunshan.

I remembered when you were little,

you said you liked Qunshan and didn't want to leave.

Actually, I worry the same about all the children that come to Qunshan.

There's nothing special about you. Not for me.

Thinking about it now,

we weren't really close at that time, either.

We just went to school together,

and after school, you ate at my house and did your homework.

That's all.

Maybe we did some special things together,

such as watching movies or climbing mountains,

but I've done these things many times with Yu Qiao and Du Shang.

I only remember them…

because when people are young, their memory is especially good.

Still, even if we have no relationship,

you shouldn't show that journal to others.

It's very impolite,

and even rude.

Also, I've decided to transfer to Experimental High School.

This has nothing to do with you. I simply need my friends,

and you don't count as a friend.

So from now on, if we meet again,

let's just pretend we are strangers,

who never knew each other.

I understand.

You can leave.

♫ Memories drift within my gaze ♫

♫ Like a window through time ♫

♫ Summer cherries are tender and cool ♫

♫ I gaze intently from afar ♫

♫ Unspoken wishes of that year ♫

♫ Your familiar shadow stretches further ♫

♫ Beyond my sight ♫ ♫ Your silhouette appears so gentle ♫

♫ The world keeps turning ♫

♫ The gentle breeze carries my shouts away ♫

♫ The amber scenery ♫ ♫ Appears as clear as yesterday ♫

♫ Reality unfolds before me ♫ ♫ As I grasp the future in my hands ♫

If we meet one day in the summer,

I'll come see you with a bunch of salvias.

♫ Accompany me as I become my true self ♫

You can leave.

♫ The night sky stretches endlessly ♫

♫ My stubbornness grows wild ♫

♫ I won't stop running forward ♫

♫ My silent dream is calling out to me ♫

♫ You're the key to all my dreams ♫

♫ I'll accompany you ♫ ♫ As you become your true self ♫

♫ Our story is coming to life ♫

Some of you still made mistakes on such basic questions.

You shouldn't.

You should have learned that in middle school.

Let's turn to page 52 of the book.

"Why not sing out loud and stroll at ease?"

"With a bamboo cane and straw sandals, lighter than a horse, who's afraid?"

Egg is good for our health.

[Qunshan City No. 11 High School Leaderboard]

Students, this semester, with her tireless effort,

Lin Qi Le has made a significant grade improvement.

Let's wish her well as she sets out to shine at the Provincial Experimental High School!

[Lin Qi Le is transferring] [to Provincial Experimental High School]

- Thank you, Teacher. - Keep up the good work.

There's still a large pile.

Usually, it doesn't seem like much.

Why does packing for a move seem endless?

Here.

Cherry, pack everything.

Some of your things are still down here.

- Do you still need this? - Yes! Yes!

This is my lucky sandbag.

What are all these glass bottles for?

I need them too.

They are my unique instruments. Did you forget?

Child, you won't throw anything away.

Feeling sentimental?

This is… Whose is this?

Cherry, is this yours?

Didn't I tell you before?

Ι'm going to the provincial city for Math Olympiad classes.

I'll be back after the winter break.

That's what Brother Chen Ming Hao and Sister Zhang Xiao Chen said

when they went to the provincial city.

I'm different from them.

There's no difference.

The provincial city is like a monster that eats children.

Children who go to the provincial city never return to Qunshan.

What are you doing?

I'm entrusting this to you.

Don't forget to give it back to me when I return.

Isn't this the coat your cousin gave you?

This is such a treasured item. You even wear it in winter.

That's why I'm giving it to you.

Jiang Qiao Xi, will you really come back?

I will.

Really, really, really?

Really, really, really!

I don't need it anymore.

Keeping this takes up space. I don't need it anymore.

Don't you want it? Are you sure?

If you throw it in this garbage bag, you won't see it again.

Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!

Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!

Du Shang's house is in this building, quite close to you.

It's over there. [Build a better future with Power Construction.]

Our house and Old Yu's house are in front, to the west.

Of course, it's not far at all.

- Just across the road, then? - Right! Right!

Do you see that small shop?

Yun Yun's house is on the first floor.

It's over there.

Speaking of which, you exchanged the first floor with him.

The first floor is the closest to the central square.

You showed great generosity.

- Not at all. - You always put in such effort!

If Old Qin's family's business is doing well, it makes us happy.

Do you see this?

We reserved the fourth floor for you.

Compared to the others, this unit has an extra row of windows facing east

so the lighting is noticeably better.

The entrance has an extra six square meters of space.

That's great.

Now, we have a space for Cherry's books and old things

she's unwilling to throw away.

It's good to live with everyone again.

Grab the empty machine. Hurry!

This one here.

- Dance machine! - Dance machine!

- Dance machine! Qunshan Gaming City doesn't have it. - This one.

It's fun! You'll definitely like it.

- Try it! - But I don't know how.

- Try it! Try it! - It's very simple.

- Lift your hand. - Exactly!

Reach out your hand like this. Yes!

Right here. Good!

- Go! - What's this?

- Step on the red one! - Left! Left foot!

Top right! Top left!

- Top left! Top right! Bottom Right! - Top left! Bottom right!

- Be careful! - Careful now.

What kind of game is this? It's no fun at all.

Lin Cherry, you lack skills.

I lack skills?

Did you ever beat me at a game before?

Did you win at sack throwing? Did you win at hide-and-seek?

Now, you're saying I lack skills?

Cherry, shall we go back and throw a sack?

We haven't played that since we came to the provincial city.

I'll call my mom now and ask her to make one for us.

I can't do it alone.

I can't embarrass myself alone. You two, get up there!

Here we go!

Slow down, Cherry!

Jialin is really lively.

You guys have had so much fun without me.

Cherry, you have no idea.

The first time I came, I knew you'd definitely like it here.

I thought it would be so much fun if you were here!

Can you stop being so ridiculous?

Look how excited she is. Nothing you say can stop her.

♫ You will see flowers blooming ♫

By the way, setting up a stall here is a business opportunity.

Things that cost one yuan can be sold for ten, and people will still buy them.

With a high sales volume at low profit, you can make a lot of money.

Thanks.

Why don't you speak up and let everyone hear you?

♫ No regrets will stand in our way ♫

It smells so good. [Grilled Octopus]

Why just smell it?

If you want something, just buy it.

I'm not hungry right now.

Just by smelling it, I feel like I've gained something.

♫ Perhaps this world is a little harsh ♫ ♫ Always eliminating all hope ♫

♫ Even so, my dear friend ♫

♫ You are all I need ♫

♫ You are the spark that lights up my world ♫

♫ You're always humming a tune softly ♫

There are so many stars.

♫ Facing the sunset ♫

The beach at night is quite peaceful, isn't it?

Lin Cherry!

- What's wrong? - Where did you guys go?

- Where did you go? - I…

I… We went to buy you some food.

Why didn't you tell me?

Were you scared?

- No! - Cherry.

- Lin Cherry! - Cherry!

What are you guys doing?

Get up quickly!

Someone might see us.

Lin Cherry, I never thought such a day would come.

You always used to lead us.

You were always the first to find us.

Things have changed.

Jialin is your territory.

I might have to rely on you to show me around in the future.

Show you around where?

Whenever you want to go out, just look for me.

Look for us. We'll escort you and take care of you.

Yes, Cherry.

You're in the provincial city now. We won't be apart.

We'll go everywhere together, just like in the past.

This is so ridiculous, even the sky might rain.

Me, ridiculous? Not at all.

Actually, when I was alone in Qunshan, I never got lost.

You only get lost when there are people around you.

Well, when there are no people around, I can read the signs.

I can even ask people for directions and find my way back.

Yes, Lin Cherry. Is there anything difficult for you?

Actually, being alone is quite tough for me.

Not anymore, though. Is that right?

I was just babbling.

- Why is it raining? - It's raining! It's raining!

I was just babbling!

Lin Cherry, wait for us!

♫ The warm sunlight caresses her gently ♫

♫ When I open my eyes ♫ ♫ The little prince is riding a white horse ♫

Lin Cherry, why aren't you running?

- Yu Qiao! - What are you doing?

Lin Cherry!

- Cai Fang Yuan! - What's up?

- Let's go. - Du Shang!

Cherry, run quickly!

Wait for me!

Qin Ye Yun!

♫ Under the blue sky ♫ ♫ I softly murmur as I rest on the grass ♫

Cherry, run quickly!

Qin Ye Yun!

What are you yelling about? What a bunch of fools!

Jiang…

♫ The sunflower bows its head ♫ ♫ In a gentle goodbye ♫

♫ I set off on the road ♫ ♫ Wearing a little straw hat ♫

Cherry.

Lin Cherry!

On my way!

♫ Time has blurred memories of my past ♫

♫ Holding a pen ♫ ♫ I sketch a little wooden house on paper ♫

♫ Humming a tune ♫ ♫ Singing joyfully with you on the hillside ♫

♫ Without a warning, tears well up in my eyes ♫

You're now the legend who ranked 47th in the Provincial Experimental High School.

What are you afraid of?

Well, I don't know the class assignment situation.

Take this.

There is no suspense at all.

Class 18! Science Class 18!

- Me? - Yes!

- Who else? - Me!

And?

I'm in Science Class 17. Qin Ye Yun is in Liberal Arts Class 4.

Cherry, we can still get water together after class.

- Cai Fang Yuan. - I'm also in Class 18.

- Good for you. - Are you that happy we are sharing a class?

I have to ask my dad to get me a new monitor and a better computer.

I did really well on the exam!

You're wasting money. If you were my son, I'd surely sell you off.

If I don't take advantage now, then when?

It's hard to play Counter-Strike on my current computer.

- Who else? - What?

- Who else is in Class 18? - Why don't you look for yourself?

[No. 19: Lin Qi Le, Female]

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, let me through. [Science Class 18, Junior Year]

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. [Number 1: Jiang Qiao Xi, Male]

- First prize? - Jiang Qiao Xi won the first prize.

Jiang Qiao Xi made it into the provincial team! [Good News]

That's amazing!

Excuse me. Please let me through. Thank you.

It's her!

She is Lin Qi Le. Do you remember her?

I once thought she was a love struck girl who wrote letters to Jiang Qiao Xi.

I can't believe she ranked 47th.

She's pretty impressive as our classmate.

Do you want to go say hi?

She is with the group from Qunshan.

They are close friends.

Lin Qi Le!

It's really you.

- Class Monitor, Feng. - I saw your name on the list.

I thought it was someone with the same name.

It's me.

I am Lin Qi Le's old class monitor from Qunshan Middle School.

From now on, we will be classmates in Class 18.

She just transferred here.

Sh-She's a little shy. I hope everyone will take good care of her.

"Shy"? Did you mistake her for someone else?

Does she need to be taken care of?

I don't know them.

We don't know her shy side, either.

I almost forgot. You guys are also from Qunshan.

- You know each other. - Yes.

That's great!

That way, you can quickly adapt to the new environment.

Class Monitor, Feng, you're still so enthusiastic.

I'm so happy to see a familiar face in a foreign place!

Why don't you wait for me a moment?

- Let's go eat later. - No, it's all right. It's fine.

We won't keep you. We have to go home now.

I'll see you when school starts.

Don't mind her. She's very shy.

- Goodbye, Class Monitor. - See you again!

Class Monitor! Class Monitor!

Let's go.

[Welcome, new students!] [Let's learn, grow, and begin this new journey together.]

[Junior Year, Science Class 18]

[No. 19: Lin Qi Le, Female]

[Freshman Jiang Qiao Xi won provincial 1st prize.]

You don't even have to look. You're definitely number one!

Did you see the Red Board Good News? You are on the provincial Olympiad team?

I didn't notice.

Principal Sun values you very much.

This news was posted even before school started.

Your homeroom teacher told me that she now has two darling treasures.

One is the Confucius statue that has been passed down to your school,

and the other one is you.

Son, do you remember the Lin family girl,

named Cherry?

You even had meals at their house when you were little.

That girl is also attending your school.

She is quite impressive.

I heard her grades are good, and she even signed up for science.

She might be in your class.

We are in the same class.

I saw her name on the list.

Your mom went to Laishui.

I booked a private room at the restaurant.

We could be the hosts,

and both families can celebrate your selection for the provincial team

and her acceptance into No. 1 Experimental High School.

We always bothered them when we were in Qunshan,

and they were quite nice to you.

- I think— - I'll be there.

All right.

Cherry,

as for Manager Jiang's invitation to dinner tonight,

if you don't want to go, you don't have to. It's fine.

Will it be difficult for you and Dad then?

It's all right. Don't worry about it.

It's just social interaction between adults.

Once you finish tidying up, just rest well at home.

Mom,

I'll be there.

I have no reason not to go.

Let's drink some Chinese liquor today.

- We must make a toast. - They are here.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry, we're late.

- We're late. - I'm sorry.

We were tidying up at home and got delayed.

I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting.

You're not late. The dishes haven't all been served yet.

- Cherry. - Hello, Uncle Jiang.

Great job! You were accepted to No. 1 Experimental High School with good grades.

Keep it up. Aim for universities in Beijing and Shanghai in the future.

All right, everyone is here now. Let's quickly take our seats.

- All right. - This way.

- Come on. - Have a seat.

Ladies, this side. The men are on that side.

- Men on this side. - Qiao Xi, come on.

- Sit over there. - Come on, Cherry.

Come, you can sit here.

Cherry, sit here next to Qiao Xi.

You two are the main stars today.

It has been so many years since you last met.

Let's reacquaint yourselves today.

- Qiao Xi, take good care of Cherry, all right? - All right.

Sit down.

- Please, sit. - Sit down.

We are here today for the two children.

One was accepted into No. 1 Experimental High School,

and the other won first prize in the Olympiad. Thank you, everyone.

I also wish all the children future success, health, and happiness.

- Let's make a toast, shall we? Come on. - Cheers!

Thank you, everyone.

All right! Let's get started.

Help yourselves, please.

Old Lin, I remember that Cherry didn't like studying when she was little.

She loved to take all our children everywhere.

When the final exam results were released,

she hid with Fang Yuan and the others, for fear adults would ask about them.

What does this indicate now? It shows that Cherry is smart.

She was admitted with a little effort.

Qiao Xi is excellent too. First place in the Olympiad!

You can't achieve this score just by working hard.

I remember back then, Cherry and Qiao Xi were inseparable.

Either Cherry was following Qiao Xi or Qiao Xi was following Cherry.

Once, Cherry came to my house to get fried shrimp chips.

She stayed there for a long time.

Then she said to me,

Auntie Kang, please fry a portion for Qiao Xi, too.

Is that so?

Yes. Qiao Xi has liked that stuff since childhood.

Lin, you should say something, too.

- Come on. - Yes! Yes!

Our two families…

- Let's all have a drink together. - Here, let's drink.

Thank you. Here, have some.

Come on.

Cherry, try some crab.

Here, let me help you.

It's all right. I can do it.

Du Shang, you must change your habit.

We can't call her Cherry at school anymore.

We must call her Lin Qi Le.

"Lin Qi Le"?

What are you doing?

It's so strange. I've never called you that.

Just call me Lin Cherry. Lin Cherry is fine.

- I am Lin Cherry. - Here, have some more.

Eat this one.

Use this crab leg to eat it.

Hey!

I-I'm sorry.

Well, from now on at school, you should be called Lin… Lin Qi Le.

Don't let everyone call you Lin Cherry anymore.

Classmate, how they call me has nothing to do with you.

It's not good for you.

I don't care.

I do, though.

Wh-What are you talking about?

Didn't you tell me we should pretend not to know each other?

I also said in front of everyone that I didn't know you.

That…

Besides, think about it.

If you say you are Lin Cherry, it's also not good for me.

Yes.

It's not good for me to know you, either.

No! Wait…

The restaurant we went to had especially delicious fish.

My mom said you would definitely like it,

so, she made another order and packed the fish for you and Qin Ye Yun.

Thank you. Thank you, Cherry.

I'm really sorry.

My leg hurts badly today.

I couldn't attend the celebration for you and Qiao Xi.

Don't blame me, all right?

What are you talking about?

You sent all the rice, flour, grains, and oil to our new home.

My parents also asked me to thank you properly.

Is Qin Ye Yun at home?

Yes. She just finished helping me sort through the goods.

Yun Yun! Yun Yun!

Qin Ye Yun! [Qin's Convenience Store]

Qin Ye…

What's up, Lin Cherry?

You're so good-looking, Qin Ye Yun.

Like an… evil spirit!

Lin Cherry, didn't you always love dressing up?

Why are you dressed so tackily now?

Your question is too harsh.

Ask another one.

You're a great essay writer. Why did you choose science?

I like science. Is that a problem?

You? Did you say you like science?

Does science like you?

Why can Jiang Qiao Xi do it, but I can't?

Who mentioned Jiang Qiao Xi?

That's right. Don't mention him anymore.

You mentioned him first.

He actually changed into what he is now.

You should have told me earlier.

Look what happened now!

I wrote him such a long letter like a fool

and made such a mess of things.

Like a fool!

If you're angry, take it out on Jiang Qiao Xi.

What's the point of torturing yourself?

I want to keep in mind

he is no longer the Jiang Qiao Xi from the past.

I won't treat him the way I used to.

I will never, ever forgive him.

You messed it up.

It's fun, like a spring.

I'll curl it for you.

Stop! Stop it!

[New Semester]

[New Semester | New Goals | New Developments]

Most of you here are from Class 21.

You've all met before.

This is a new student who transferred into our Experimental High School.

You can get to know each other.

Hello, everyone. My name is Lin Qi Le.

I am from Qunshan No. 11 High School.

I'm honored to be classmates with everyone.

It's nice to meet you.

That's great, Lin Qi Le.

I can't believe we are desk mates.

If you have any questions in the future, just ask me.

Thank you, Class Monitor.

I am still the class monitor, and I'm happy to help you.

The most cherished recollection

that graces the annals of your memory!

Raise your hand if you know the meaning of this sentence.

Well, last year, I won a basketball game

and I carried my classmates.

I almost got some crazy fans,

so I am so proud of that.

Okay, I think that's a joke.

Sit down, please.

Who else would like to try this dialogue exercise?

Give it a try. Be courageous.

Lin Qi Le.

Is anyone willing to do a dialogue exercise with Lin Qi Le?

Jiang Qiao Xi.

- Okay? - Yes, I can.

Might you share with us the most cherished recollection

that graces the annals of your memory?

Nice to see you, Lin Qi Le.

Well, go on.

In a chapter of my life's narrative,

a friend once led me to the mountain's crest

to behold the splendor of the evening's resplendent hues.

and… it was there, the essence of my name

was partly infused with the meaning of the vibrant sunset

by a compendium of profound insight.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

It's okay, Lin Qi Le.

Jiang Qiao Xi's English level is very high.

He used many uncommon words.

Actually, for Juniors, this is already beyond the curriculum.

Please sit down.

Jiang Qiao Xi, can you translate it?

Yes, I can.

In a chapter of my life's narrative,

a friend

once led me to a mountain's crest to behold the splendor of the evening's resplendent hues.

Qiao is the 20th word on page 795 of the Grand Chinese Dictionary.

It's second "stress" means "high and sharp mountain."

This is the west side of the highest and sharpest mountain in Qunshan,

where I have seen the most beautiful sunset.

It's bright red and dazzling!

I think that's Jiang Qiao Xi.

The meaning of the name Jiang Qiao Xi.

Jiang Qiao Xi is a meaningful name

and sounds very pleasant.

Jiang Qiao Xi!

Look! Every time I call out Jiang Qiao Xi, I smile.

Jiang Qiao Xi!

Jiang Qiao Xi!

It was there that my name

was endowed with the poetry of the sunset thanks to an insightful friend.

Very good. Sit down, please.

- Miss He. - Please.

Sorry, I just realized I said a sentence wrongly.

When greeting Lin Qi Le, I should say, "Nice to meet you".

This is the sentence used when meeting someone for the first time.

I said "Nice to see you",

which is generally used for reunions.

It means, "Happy to see you again".

All right. Please sit.

He is correct.

On the surface, both of these sentences mean, "very glad to see you".

However, the first sentence is used in formal situations,

while the second sentence is used in informal situations.

- Now, open the textbook to page six. - It's okay, Lin Qi Le.

Jiang Qiao Xi is a very good student.

Don't feel embarrassed if you're unable to answer his question.

What do you think he means?

Why did he create such a scene?

Either he can't forget you,

or he doesn't want you to forget him.

Or maybe both.

That's how romance novels are written.

See if I'll even talk to you anymore.

Jiang Qiao Xi,

who was that person you mentioned in English class?

A very important person.

Don't they seem like a perfect couple to you?

Do you feel angry and jealous when you see them?

I feel furious with rage when I see you.

What does this have to do with me?

Then again, isn't your name like an actual poem?

"Thousands of doors lay west of Jiangqiao."

It's so rhythmic and majestic.

I don't really like it.

In fact, I also enjoy watching the sunset glow.

If we have time, let's watch it at the seaside together.

I might not have time.

Excuse me, I forgot to recharge my water card.

Can I borrow yours?

Are we that close?

I forgot to introduce myself earlier during the English exercise.

My name is Jiang Qiao Xi.

It's nice to meet you.

I can't say the same.

Also, I don't easily lend my water card to others.
