[Episode 6]

[Qin's Convenience Store]

Lin Cherry, are you crazy?

Did you do that for Jiang Qiao Xi?

I told you I didn't do it for him.

I did it for that kitten.

The kitten is white and cute, am I right?

Stop denying it!

Even if you're that compassionate, dare you admit

the importance of that kitten has changed because of Jiang Qiao Xi?

I didn't come here to be criticized.

Get me some clean clothes

or my mom will worry when she sees me.

Find the clothes we bought together.

The most important thing now is to get an answer from Jiang Qiao Xi.

A clear answer.

Does he still want to be friends like when you were children?

If he continues to be so unpredictable,

tell him to stay away from you.

You are also not allowed to approach him again.

I haven't approached him! I've kept my distance from him.

Why are you mad at me?

Be mad at Jiang Qiao Xi.

Loser!

Do you want to get breakfast?

Jiang Qiao Xi,

what exactly do you take Lin Cherry for?

A friend?

I don't understand what you mean.

Stop pretending!

Aren't you best friends with Cen Xiao Man and the others

and no longer consider Lin Cherry a friend?

Of course not! How could I?

This is boring.

Wait! Does Cherry think so?

Hurry up and go! It'll be tough to explain when you get to school.

She probably hasn't gone far yet.

Jiang Qiao Xi! Jiang Qiao Xi!

Uncle, I gave him my bike!

What?

Cherry!

Cherry, I haven't changed!

I still want to be good friends with you!

Cherry!

Cherry!

Cherry!

Stop it!

Jiang Qiao Xi!

What do you want?

Don't you know that was dangerous?

Are you crazy?

Stop laughing!

Are you a fool? That was really dangerous!

Stop laughing! What do you want?

Cherry…

I'm sorry.

I'll give you a ride.

Who wants that?

If you're ready, just tell me.

Why haven't you contacted me all these years?

It all began during the winter break,

when I returned to the provincial city from Qunshan.

Once I returned to the provincial city,

I attended math classes every day

and I had endless homework.

Still, I studied hard every day.

I thought, that once I finished studying,

I could call you and come back to Qunshan to see you.

Then, when I got home, I found my mom had cut the phone line.

Later, during Chinese New Year, I begged my mom

to let me call Qunshan,

but she said that after the winter break,

I had to attend the Experimental Middle School.

♫ You locked up your heart ♫

♫ The key is in the clouds ♫

♫ Drifting through dreams ♫

♫ Without leaving any traces ♫

♫ When we were young ♫

♫ We couldn't fly beyond our fingertips ♫

♫ Yet I am willing ♫

Jiang Qiao Xi!

Jiang Qiao Xi!

♫ To hold up a dim light for you like a star ♫

♫ Under the gentle night sky ♫ ♫ You pretend to walk far away ♫

♫ You pretend to walk far away ♫

♫ The palms of my hands are still cold ♫

♫ My breath still lingers ♫

♫ We ebb and flow like ocean tides ♫

♫ A pattern repeated until the end ♫

♫ I will follow you ♫

♫ You are the reason I still burn ♫

♫ Memories are invading ♫

♫ An unknown, forbidden land ♫

♫ I turned around and fell ♫ ♫ Into your unspoken love ♫

♫ You are the reason I still shine ♫

♫ I miss you ♫

♫ Thoughts crushed the light of dawn ♫

♫ They turned into a page in a dream ♫

♫ Filled with you ♫

Stop!

Let's go! Let's go home!

Did it hurt?

You have such delicate skin.

I almost forgot.

It's all right! It didn't hurt too much.

What's wrong?

Are you a fool?

You did so many things,

yet I had no idea and kept blaming you.

You could write me a letter back or call me

to let me know you haven't forgotten me.

That would have been enough, then.

Let me go! I want to return to Qunshan!

How can you be so selfish?

Your brother was never like that!

Jiang Qiao Xi, why are you acting this way?

Because I am Jiang Qiao Xi.

If you dare to have any contact with those people from Qunshan,

I can make them all go away!

If you don't believe me, you can try.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I don't want to give you hope only to disappoint you again.

I want to give you a definite answer.

What definite answer?

Don't apply math principles to me.

No. I promised you I would come back after that winter break,

but I didn't.

I wish I could fulfill every promise I made to you

the way my cousin treats his wife.

He keeps every promise he makes,

but I know I have nothing right now,

so I have to listen to my mom.

Also, you are someone who gives their all.

I don't want to be in a situation where I can't decide for myself,

and let you give your all for me once again.

I feel powerless.

I don't know what I can offer in return.

Why did you suddenly mention your cousin and his wife?

Jiang Qiao Xi, at that time,

I just couldn't figure out

why you didn't reply to my letters,

why you didn't call me,

and why you suddenly disappeared.

I never expected you to give anything back.

I just wanted to hear from you

and see if you were doing well.

I know! I wanted to send you a message too,

but even if I had sent it, it wouldn't have solved anything.

It would have only caused you trouble.

What happens now?

Now you're doing all this.

and earlier, you were even chasing a bus.

You are getting closer to me.

Isn't that contradictory?

Not at all! There are variables now.

I didn't expect you to come find me.

I also didn't expect you to get a heatstroke

nor did I expect you to misunderstand me and Cen Xiao Man.

So is it all my fault?

It's my fault. Concern leads to confusion.

We've arrived. Be careful.

Did I make myself clear?

If you want to ask if I have forgiven you,

then I haven't decided yet.

Well, that's it.

So his mom won't allow him to spent time with us.

He still has some conscience left.

I always believed he had a conscience.

He's just a timid person with a little conscience.

What timid person?

You don't know their family's situation.

You've changed your attitude too fast.

You've only known the truth for a few days, yet you're already defending him.

Yu Qiao!

What are you doing?

What's wrong?

Why are you smiling?

You look happier than Lin Cherry.

- Are you that close to Jiang Qiao Xi? - I…

And your smile is so ugly.

No, I just heard a joke.

It was too funny. For real!

What joke?

One day, a steamed bun and a noodle got into a fight.

The steamed bun defeated the noodle,

but the noodle was not satisfied.

The next day, it called it's good friend instant noodles for help,

When the steamed bun saw the instant noodles, it said,

"Don't think I won't recognize you because you got a perm. I'll still beat you."

It's so funny.

Jiang Qiao Xi!

What are you doing? Why are you shouting?

We should discuss with Jiang Qiao Xi

how we'll get along with him at school.

This matter needs careful planning.

She is right! So much has already happened.

If we suddenly become friends with Jiang Qiao Xi now,

and his mom finds out, he will definitely be in trouble again.

My dad said Jiang Qiao Xi's mom went to Laishui construction site,

and hasn't come back yet.

Maybe…

Maybe tonight…

You guys can discuss it yourselves!

Qin Ye Yun, what's wrong?

From now on, why don't you join us for lunch every day?

Like this noon.

It's so boring. Who wants to eat with you guys?

If you were that bored, then why did you laugh so happily?

Yu Qiao, from now on, you must tell Qin Ye Yun a joke every day at lunch.

I just noticed that you two share the same sense of humor.

Jiang Qiao Xi, can I ask you something?

Do you know how to solve this problem?

This problem…

Yu Qiao went to Jiang Qiao Xi to ask about the problem.

I saw it.

Here, you can divide it [Cherry asks if you can meet tonight.]

into two parts [At eleven o'clock, small garden.]

and then simply solve the equation.

I'll write an example for you.

[Cherry asks if you can meet tonight.] [At eleven o'clock, small garden.]

[Yes.]

What do you think? Do you understand it?

I got it! The solution is quite clear.

[Jialin City Power Construction Community]

What are you holding in your hand?

I'm listening to music.

And the other hand?

My diary!

Is it all about Jiang Qiao Xi?

Or else, is it about you?

Can't you hold back a little?

What should I hold back?

Can't you be more mysterious?

If you reveal a lot about yourself, you'll be at a disadvantage.

What? I just want to tell him,

that when he misses me… us…

I also miss…

Everyone?

We also miss him very much.

Is it you or us missing him more?

Or do you mean that when he misses you, you also miss him a lot?

I have to go!

What do you think of my outfit?

Isn't it too short?

No, trust me. It looks much better this way.

Stop it! My stomach is showing!

- It looks much better! - My stomach is showing!

Leave it like this!

Don't touch it!

Who's playing basketball so late?

Don't mind him. He is clearly a big fool.

Who is it?

Are you going to meet Jiang Qiao Xi or not?

Yu Qiao!

What are you doing here? Didn't you sleep yet?

I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk.

I didn't expect to run into you.

Wandering outside late at night, and you're dressed so nicely.

Are you dating someone?

It's not funny.

Yet you laughed when I made that joke earlier.

Did you find that joke as funny as I did?

Not at all.

Then why did you laugh?

I think you're quite laughable.

I really do.

So what were you laughing at?

I think you're quite laughable.

Really?

I do too.

[Life Is Meant to Chase the Light]

♫ I wish when I wake up ♫

♫ The morning breeze would sooth my sorrow ♫

♫ I wish when I turn around ♫

♫ Everything frosted would melt at my gaze ♫

♫ I wish when I lift my head ♫

♫ All I would see is your smiling face ♫

♫ I wish you would share with me ♫

♫ Everything you find joyful or troubling ♫

I've told you many times. Red doesn't suit you.

I like red.

You're still young. You don't know what you truly like.

Do you think I'm too young to know what I like?

Are you talking back to me because of that?

I've only been on a business trip for a few days, and you're already restless.

Why won't you give me peace of mind?

Did you go on a business trip

or visit the cemetery to see my brother?

Whenever I get good grades,

you promptly inform my brother, whom I have never met.

Do you wish for my good grades to be his?

I also wish for him to be your good son.

If you dare leave

I'll go to Lin Hai Feng's house to ask how they educate their daughter.

Meeting a boy late at night?

I want them to know there is a problem with their family's upbringing.

The problem is with our family.

The construction site over in Fujian just happens to be short of engineers.

Let them go where they should go,

and you go where you should go!

Isn't it the perfect solution?

Do you think I'll never grow up?

Do you think you can use such tricks to control me forever?

Of course, I wish you could grow up soon.

Only when you grow up, you'll understand my good intentions.

I'm tired,

and I won't waste more time on these principles.

Pack your things. I'll take you to the training camp tonight.

Don't cause any more trouble.

Math is the most important thing now.

I'm not going. I want to return to school for classes.

Jiang Qiao Xi!

I could hear that from outside.

Why are you yelling at Qiao Xi?

What's wrong again?

So what if I did?

If it weren't for your promotion and decision to take him to Qunshan,

would he have turned out like this?

Liang Hong Fei, why are you bringing up old grudges again?

Did I not take proper care of the child?

When Qiao Xi was little,

you didn't like him and refused to care for him.

I had work to do.

What else could I have done but take him to Qunshan?

What do you mean? I also had work to do.

So I took him to Qunshan!

She's smiling. She looks so charming when she smiles.

Put it over here.

Since Qiao Xi transferred schools in fifth grade,

we've rarely seen this kind of smile on Cherry's face.

When she mentioned Qiao Xi tonight,

I felt as if she had returned to her childhood self.

Wait! I thought you wouldn't let her go.

Look at the time!

It's late and she's still not back.

This child, seriously.

Even if you wouldn't let her go, she would find a way.

Besides, if something is troubling her,

she wouldn't tell us.

Friendships at that age are the purest and deserve the best protection.

Yes.

Who is it? It's so late.

Mr. Cai?

Manager Cai, it's late. What's going on?

Mr. Lin, Ms. Liang and Mr. Jiang are fighting at home.

The cadre building is in turmoil.

It appears the cause is Cherry and Qiao Xi.

What?

You've been a father twice. When were you ever competent?

Do you want to ruin both your children?

This happened more than a decade ago.

You've been clinging to it! What exactly do you want?

What do I want?

Tell me! What do you want?

You've always used this to torture and blame me.

Do you want my life?

Take it for Meng Chu!

- Then this matter will be over! - Aunt Juan.

No one in this world can compensate for my son's life!

Can you discipline Jiang Qiao Xi?

Lin Hai Feng's daughter asked your son to meet her at night!

If you really consider yourself a father,

go to the Lin family and tell them

to urge their daughter to stay away from Jiang Qiao Xi!

If you want to go crazy, go ahead!

No one will join you!

♫ Even if we stumble ♫ ♫ We will always be strong ♫

♫ Count the falling stars ♫ ♫ That land on your shoulder ♫

♫ I will always be by your side ♫

♫ Life should always chase the light ♫

♫ Once we get through despair ♫ ♫ We can embrace even more hope ♫

Why are you here?

I-I was just passing by,

and I saw you here alone.

Jiang Qiao Xi hasn't come yet.

Did you tell him the time?

I told him!

It's so late, yet he still hasn't come over.

Why don't we go home now?

Let's go! I'll walk you back.

- Qiao Xi. - Uncle, Aunt, I'm sorry.

I'm to blame today.

I was the one who asked Cherry out.

I had something to tell her, but I can't go now.

Could you please apologize to her on my behalf?

Jiang Qiao Xi!

I have to attend the Math Olympiad training camp now.

Mr. Lin, Sheng Juan.

They are going to the same school,

so it's normal for them to interact.

It's so late. I am sorry you had to come here over our family matter.

I'm really sorry.

Is this just our family matter?

Mom! Let's go now.

I will definitely… keep my promise to you.

I'll trust you one last time.

Cherry!

Cherry! Cherry!

Cherry, don't go!

Cherry!

Mom!

Aunt Juan, Uncle Hai Feng.

Cherry didn't do anything wrong. She didn't.

Thank you.

Yu Qiao, it's late. Go back.

You should go back now.

I'm sorry, I…

All right, don't worry.

We don't think you were at fault.

Let's go back.

Let's go.

Let's go back.

It's getting cooler now.

It's autumn now.

I'll make some rock sugar pear water for you to take to school. All right?

Mom…

did Jiang Qiao Xi's mom say anything unpleasant to you?

Cherry, don't forget who I am.

I'm an ace electrician!

No matter how high Qiao Xi's mother's position is,

she should still be polite to me. Isn't that right?

I've caused you trouble again!

When you get older and become a parent,

you'll understand children grow up among troubles.

Well…

Well, is Jiang Qiao Xi all right?

Cherry, is a good boy.

He cares about your friendship, just as much as you do,

but many times, especially at your age,

it's difficult to change a given situation,

and rely on yourself to make decisions.

Although often, people cannot change their situation,

friendship is something circumstances can't change. Isn't that so?

Of course!

Let's go!

[Daily Products - Convenience Store]

Yun Yun.

Uncle Jiang.

Give me a pack of cigarettes.

Do you need anything else?

Yun Yun,

you are close to Cherry.

Can you talk to her?

At your current stage, the most important thing is studying.

Besides that, it's important to establish healthy interpersonal relationships,

including friendships

and potential romantic relationships, in the future.

All this should happen at the right time.

At this stage, it's best not to influence each other.

Mr. Jiang, if there's any influence, it's Jiang Qiao Xi who is influencing Cherry.
