[Episode 7]

- Cherry. - Cherry.

Hurry up and get dressed.

Uncle Yu called and said to have breakfast at the shop near the gate.

"To have breakfast"?

The buns are here.

Come on!

- Great! - Nice. Nice!

- All right, thank you. - You're welcome.

Cherry, hurry up and try the buns! Come on!

These buns taste just like those in Qunshan. They haven't changed.

Is it tasty?

How is it?

It's good.

Let me tell you guys.

Cherry is still as lovable as she was when she was little.

No wonder some people think Cherry is in a young love relationship.

When Cai Fang Yuan was in first grade, older kids bullied him.

It was Cherry who stood up for him and led him straight to their classroom.

Back then, I thought Fang Yuan was lucky.

This little girl probably liked him.

Mom!

Sister Kang, I believe you're overthinking.

When Du Shang gets bullied, Cherry stands up for him, too.

It's no wonder Sister Kang tends to overthink.

When we first moved to Qunshan,

Cherry hung out with our Yu Qiao every day,

took him to classes, showed him around, and so on.

I never thought Cherry would like Yu Qiao,

but Yu Qiao likes Cherry.

Mom, what are you talking about?

Which one of you boys doesn't like Cherry?

Your mom means that your affection is similar to a close friend's.

- That's right! - Childhood friendship.

We adults understand that.

Yes, it has nothing to do with puppy love.

Let's not talk about puppy love or liking someone.

- Never mind these boys. Cherry isn't into puppy love. - Yes, exactly.

If anyone can find evidence of Cherry's puppy love,

I, Cai Wu, declare here today,

I'll treat everyone at Power Construction HQ to breakfast for a month.

Mr. Li, remember this!

All right, Manager Cai! I'll remember.

From now on, I'll tell everyone about this.

No, let's not mention it. Consider this matter closed.

Don't pay for today's breakfast, either.

Today's breakfast is on me. I'll treat everyone.

- Four more, please. - All right! All right!

- Bring some more buns. - All right.

Eat some steamed buns. Go on.

Let's order more buns. They're delicious.

Let me peel this egg for you, sweetie.

I'll do it. You can keep eating.

That was such a satisfying meal.

I ate four dough fish and my mom didn't say anything.

With Uncle Li around, no one dares spread rumors anymore.

Now that it has been mentioned,

we owe Cherry a lot since childhood to have survived to this day.

Exactly! We should keep this in mind.

What are you still worried about?

Don't you find it strange?

What?

Wasn't Jiang Qiao Xi's mom on a business trip to Laishui?

Why did she suddenly return?

Even if she did come back unexpectedly,

Jiang Qiao Xi wouldn't have told her that he was meeting with me.

How did she find out?

There's a mole. No doubt about it.

It's not me!

What are you looking at? Do you suspect me?

- That hurts, Bro. - Be gentle.

Be gentle.

Then the only one left is…

Qin Ye Yun?

Why did you say it so loudly?

Is that my fault?

Cherry! Cherry, come over here.

It wasn't a mole, but an external informant.

How do you know?

The test paper with Jiang Qiao Xi's meeting time and place is missing.

I suspect someone took it.

Who do you suspect?

Fei Lin Ge. He cares about Jiang Qiao Shi more than anyone else.

He was the one who took that letter you wrote in the past, too.

Are you saying he already knows I'm Lin Cherry?

Even so, he hasn't reacted.

Maybe he is planning something secretly.

First, let's make sure.

If it's really him, we'll settle both old and new scores together.

Absolutely.

Have you noticed that lately everyone has been looking at us strangely?

Is there a problem with those people?

Let's go.

I thought Jiang Qiao Xi was joining the second training session.

Why did he join the first one?

He left abruptly without even telling us.

Do you know why, Xiao Man?

How should I know?

Maybe Aunt Liang has special arrangements for Jiang Qiao Xi.

He isn't answering calls either.

I was hoping he would bring back some real exam questions for me.

Let's go.

- What are you doing? - I need him for something.

- Where are you going? - Let's go!

You shouldn't go! Fei Lin Ge!

I'm not going.

Will you listen to her?

Let's go. The teacher is asking for you.

- Is he asking for me? - That's right!

Confess everything you've done.

If you can't explain clearly…

Will you confess or not? Confess now!

Will you confess or not? Confess now!

Cherry, will you really hit him?

It's all about intimidation.

Can my intimidating presence scare him?

Yes.

Who ever said anything about hitting?

What is this? How dare you bully someone at Experimental High School?

Don't make false accusations!

You just tripped yourself. We didn't do anything!

Well, you should know why we called you here. Don't you?

Just admit it.

What are the bad things you have done to us?

What "bad things"?

If anyone did wrong, it's you guys!

Then tell us what we did that was wrong.

You know exactly what you've done.

Blame yourselves for being so brazen.

So it was you.

Fei Lin Ge. What are you all doing?

Xiao Man, go tell Ms. He they are secretly dating.

I don't have a secret relationship!

You won't admit it? I have evidence.

Jiang Qiao Xi and I aren't dating. Stop spouting nonsense!

Do you wish you could date Jiang Qiao Xi?

In your dreams!

Let's go.

Out with it! When did you two start dating?

When did we ever date?

When did we ever start dating?

No one even told us.

How can you two laugh about this?

Ms. He, they show no remorse.

Enough! Let's stop talking about it.

Both of you, call your parents.

Ms. He, we are sorry for the trouble.

We, as their parents, knew about the aquarium trip.

We even paid for the tickets.

How can you, as parents, smile about this?

Children their age shouldn't socialize so openly.

Look at their gestures.

"Their gestures"?

This…

Ms. He, aren't these gestures harmless?

It's just simple touching and head patting.

Their daughter even slapped my son Yu Qiao's butt when they were kids.

I mean, they grew up together.

This gesture is nothing, Ms. He.

We all work at Power Construction, and they grew up together since childhood.

Their relationship is like that of real siblings.

Everything is absolutely fine. You can rest assured, Ms. He.

Even so, you must be more attentive as parents.

They're teenagers now. Boys and girls should maintain proper boundaries.

- Don't let it affect their studies. - Yes, you have a point.

- I agree, Ms. He. We will monitor them as parents. - Fei Lin Ge.

Your photos look nice with great lighting.

Can you give them to us?

What did you say?

He said your photos were nicely shot.

Great lighting. Give them to him.

Yu Qiao,

so you and Lin Qi Le are all right?

No wonder you've been giving us strange looks all day.

It turns out, Fei Lin Ge misled everyone.

Did the teacher give you any trouble?

Should I vouch for you?

No, everything's fine.

Such rumors are truly malicious.

Don't worry. I'll make sure justice is served,

and have a proper talk with Fei Lin Ge.

There is no need, Class Monitor. It's all a misunderstanding.

A mature person doesn't dwell on other's faults.

Lin Qi Le,

has anyone told you what an amazing girl you are?

Thank you, Class Monitor. I know that.

No more idle talk! Let's get back to self-study.

Yu Qiao.

Mom? Hello, Aunt.

Listen now!

Cherry is like a younger sister you've watched grow up.

She just transferred here. You must take good care of her.

Understand?

- Ignore the gossip. - Go home, Mom.

There's no way you two are into puppy love.

Mom!

Cherry, don't be shy!

I'm not.

We adults are happy and relieved to see our children getting along so well.

- Mom, stop! - Don't embarrass me!

So she is that Cherry.

Let's go.

Go back, Mom.

It's all right.

I just wanted them to know this "puppy love" nonsense

is just nothing but gossip.

What should we do?

I didn't tell you earlier because I feared Jiang Qiao Xi would get angry.

How did you find out?

Don't ask that.

I have one more important thing for you.

My goodness! She hid it so well.

So, back then, Yu Qiao was covering for her.

No wonder Jiang Qiao Xi dared not come to school recently. He's terrified of her.

Didn't Jiang Qiao Xi say he didn't know her? Isn't that rejection obvious enough?

He was only protecting her reputation.

Now she's transferred to Experimental High School. She's got some nerve.

Exactly. Still, she did hide her identity.

Your gossip could really hurt someone. Give it to me!

Class Monitor, why would you protect someone like her?

She is ruining our class atmosphere.

- There must be some misunderstanding. - Cherry.

You don't know her.

- I can't answer a question in Chinese. Can you help? - I feel bad for your class.

Come in, Cherry. Don't stay out there.

Cherry.

Jiang Qiao Xi hasn't said anything. Why are you still spreading nonsense?

- They have the paper you asked Jiang Qiao Xi to meet. - He even asked her to refill water.

- My test paper? - Yes.

- They also found out Qi Le is Cherry. - Cen Xiao Man is better than she.

Yu Qiao!

Yu Qiao! What are you doing?

- What are you doing? - Give it back.

You had my test paper! Why? Did you steal it?

Why is this your test paper? Where's your proof?

It has my name on it. How is it not mine?

Not everyone sneaks around like that Cherry.

The paper was on my desk. Did the wind blow it away?

♫ 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 wish our family is bound as one ♫ ♫ Always facing the same direction ♫

♫ I wish this journey is filled ♫

♫ With empathy and gratitude ♫

♫ I wish that, once you let things go ♫

♫ The world would grant you dreams in return ♫

♫ I wish you know love always flows in my heart ♫

♫ I wish you know ♫ ♫ Love always flows in my heart ♫

♫ Life is meant to chase the light ♫

♫ 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 ♫

♫ The end of the night is called daylight ♫

♫ At the end ♫ ♫ Happiness will blossom in our hands ♫

Why are you willing to go home with us today?

Because some people ran into trouble,

so I can't miss the chance to kick them while they're down.

Do you think I'm afraid?

In this school, there are at least five people

that believe in me and stand by my side.

I think no one can deal with my problems better than I can.

You even outdid Yu Qiao in quoting lines from Chinese Hong Kong movie heroes.

You have it all figured out. Shouldn't that make you happy?

Tomorrow is Saturday. Who's free to accompany me

to the Olympiad Training Class?

I'm not going.

Tomorrow, I'm helping my dad with stock refills.

Cherry, my mom and I will visit my grandma. We won't be back until the next day.

- I also— - You, Cai Fang Yuan.

You're coming with me tomorrow.

You've already been to the Olympiad Training Camp. You know the way.

You're my only option.

Still, helping you alone might be tough.

Yu Qiao.

Don't look at me. I won't go.

You…

Lin Cherry, you…

Stop right there!

They should be done with class by now.

Jiang Qiao Xi will go to the cafeteria for snacks.

You can find him in the cafeteria later.

I know the teachers very well. I would get caught immediately.

I'll keep watch outside for you two.

Senior Jiang,

is this seat taken?

- No. Have a seat. - All right.

Senior Jiang, the academic legend. I've heard so much about you.

I heard you were scheduled for the next session.

I didn't expect you to transfer to our session.

How lucky!

Thanks.

Senior Jiang, why did you suddenly switch to this session?

Are you hiding from that Qunshan girl?

What?

My classmate also goes to Experimental High School.

He just called to tell me your school's forum is really active.

Everyone is discussing that Qunshan girl.

They say she came to Experimental High School to chase after you,

and she hid her identity from her classmates.

Rumor has it she asked you out late at night—

Didn't Cai Fang Yuan say we should turn left when we enter?

Yes, yes! Left side.

- You two. - Oh, no!

Freeze! We've seen you. Don't run!

Hurry! Hurry! Mr. Li, Xiao Zhao!

- Don't run! - This way!

- Stop running! - They're just students. Go easy on them!

Hey, you! Stop running!

Isn't our cafeteria good enough?

Every day, students like you sneak out to eat junk food.

Come with me to the security office.

- Tell your advisor to come pick you up. Hurry! - Stop running, student!

Student, stop running!

Sir, please tell them to stop chasing him. We are not…

- Not what? Hurry and come with me! - Come back here!

I…

I'm here to find my rabbit.

"Your rabbit"?

My rabbit accidentally slipped in through your school gate,

so I came to look for my rabbit.

My rabbit is extremely important to me.

If you see my rabbit, please tell him,

not to worry about me.

No matter what happens, I'll handle it.

What nonsense is going through your head?

How could a rabbit worry about you? This is…

My rabbit tends to worry about me.

Classmate, if you see my rabbit, please pass on my message.

All right.

Jiang Qiao Xi, what are you doing here?

Teacher, I came out to look for my kitten.

My kitten is missing.

Your kitten?

Yes. She's a very adorable kitten.

She has snow-white fur

and a cherry-red nose.

Have you seen her?

No. There's no kitten in our training camp.

Yes, we do have a kitten in our camp.

Maybe the recent rainy weather

caused my kitten to hide somewhere.

I was quite worried about her.

I worried she would have a hard life or be mistreated by others,

but… now I realize

she is the strongest, bravest little kitten.

She can nap in sunlight, watch sunsets, and enjoy breezes.

She'll be fine on her own, even without me,

because she is the best and most amazing kitten!

I get it now. You've all been under too much pressure lately.

Teacher, I forgot to mention,

she is from my school.

She might have come to visit us.

Can we please…

Then tell your friend, visitors aren't allowed here.

All right. It's getting late.

Qiao Xi, go get some rest. I'll escort them out. Let's go.

All right.

It's okay. I'm fine. Go back.

Take care.

Don't worry.

♫ Whether youth is fleeting or fulfilled ♫

♫ All can be resolved with a smile ♫

♫ In the blink of an eye ♫

♫ The years go by ♫

Cai Fang Yuan!

Cai Fang Yuan!

Cai Fang Yuan, we…

Don't interrupt the music. This is the power of love.

♫ With all of my innocence ♫

♫ I wrote a poem ♫

♫ If beauty fades ♫

♫ Remember that address ♫

♫ We will remain exactly the same ♫

Cherry, would Jiang Qiao Xi know...

you were singing for him?

He would know.

He would know.

Dismissed!

Let's go.

Come with me to the court and watch me play basketball.

I'm not going to watch you play basketball.

The monthly exams are coming up. I must go study.

Well, Cai Fang Yuan can go with you. He is over there.

He is busy with his grand plans. I'm leaving.

Then I'll come study with you.

You don't have to come with me. Go play basketball if you want.

I won't get eaten while alone.

Where's Yu Qiao? Yu Qiao! Let's go!

Hurry up! Don't waste time!

Class Six is waiting for you to settle things with them.

All right! I'm going then.

Go on. Go!

Hurry up, Yu Qiao!

Lin Qi Le, I saw you were struggling earlier in class. Here are my physics notes.

I said these are my physics notes. They're pretty comprehensive.

Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

Our Class Monitor is always so happy to help.

Class Monitor, I didn't understand chemistry, either.

Can I ask you questions, too?

Of course, although, I'm not very good at chemistry.

If you have any problems, feel free to ask me, too.

That's right. Our Class Monitor is great at physics.

Thanks, Class Monitor, but I'll ask the teacher if I have questions.

Lin Cherry, you look exhausted.

Did you go out to steal at night?

Is studying hard considered a steal?

Did you study all night? That's some dedication.

Cramming before exams isn't dedication. It's simply a last-minute effort.

Junior Physics is so hard.

I memorized the formulas,

but when I solve problems, I realize that's all I know.

Hurry!

On my way!

How does Jiang Qiao Xi know everything?

Lin Cherry, don't underestimate yourself.

Remember you made it to Experimental High School from Qunshan No.1 Middle School.

Besides, physics isn't hard once it "clicks" for you.

Maybe in today's exam, you'll have an epiphany and understand everything.

During the last physics quiz break,

who sang "Nunchucks" (a song by Jay Chou) at my desk for ten minutes?

During the exam, I couldn't stop thinking about that "hoo-ha" rhythm.

Don't worry. I won't do that during this month's exams.

Why do you insist on comparing yourself to Jiang Qiao Xi?

You surpass him in everything besides academics.

Even geniuses have their weaknesses.

Class, the key to learning math lies in mastering formulas.

Memorize these formulas accurately and thoroughly.

Engrave them in your minds. Understood?

Yes.

Is anyone still struggling with today's formulas, or problems?

Raise your hand if you don't understand.

Now raise your hand if you do understand.

Lin Qi Le, do you claim to understand, too?

Everything?

Well, come up here and solve this problem on the board.

If you make a mistake, you'll stand for the rest of the class. Come on up.

[Respect Teachers] [Be Disciplined, Diligent and Pragmatic]

Class, work on this problem at your desks.

Teacher, did I solve it wrong?

Well, isn't this a miracle?

Our class average might actually improve.

Not bad. Return to your seat. Did everyone get it right?

Yes.

Did you? Well done, everyone.

­[Diligence Leads to Mastery] [Reflection Leads to Success]

Let's go check it out.

I hope I can maintain my scores. How did you do?

Monthly exam results are posted. Come look at your scores.

Don't get conceited if you did well. Don't lose heart if you didn't.

What are you doing?

How did I do? Did I score… very badly?

Lin Cherry, you're so impressive!

You placed fifth in our class!

Are you serious?

Why would I lie?

- Did I rank fifth? - Yes!

Let's go!

What about you? How did you do?

Will you get beaten at home?

Well, I got third place.

"Third place"?

When did you become so studious?

From the bottom.

"From the bottom"?

Then I…

Did you expect to be at the top? We're both low achievers.

You're only two places above me.

If that's your score,

my parents won't punish me too harshly.

I will, though. Cai Fang Yuan, why did you trick me?

Lin Cherry, don't panic. Yu Qiao is also doomed this time.

What happened to him?

Yu Qiao ranked 15th from the bottom.

- Did he do that poorly, too? - Yes.

Just you wait!

So her previous high score to join our class was pure luck.

Of course! You can't rely on luck all the time.

Lin Qi Le is always with those guys from Qunshan.

How does she even find time to study?

Exactly.

Do you want cold water?

If you're here to get water, then do that. Stop gossiping!

It's none of your business.

That's right. It's none of our business.

None of us have Lin Qi Le's special talents.

First Jiang Qiao Xi, then Feng Le Tian,

and now you. Why is everyone speaking up for her?

Exactly.

Didn't we just see Cai Fang Yuan playing with her on the sports field?

Don't tell me you didn't know?

Jia Si Si, mind your words.

Am I the one who's unclean?

Say that again!

What are you doing? How can you talk like that?

- She's a girl. Why are you so harsh? - Let's report it to the teacher.

Does he want to hit me?

Yu Qiao, you used to have good grades.

How did spending time with Lin Qi Le cause your ranking to drop?

- I didn't turn out like this. - He wanted to hit me.

I wanted it this way. I want this ranking.

We've been playing basketball together for a while now.

Let me warn you, Lin Qi Le is no easy character.

I'm also warning you to stop spouting nonsense!

Lin Qi Le really is something.

Feng Le Tian always looks out for her.

- Yu Qiao scores low and now fights because of her. - Your previous grades weren't bad.

- Before, Jiang Qiao Xi even asked her to get water. - I didn't ask about it, and now this.

- I don't know what's wrong with these boys. - You're 18 and still fighting?

Aren't you ashamed?

Huang Zhan Jie, do you know verbal abuse is more hurtful than physical abuse?

Ms. He, I'm not the only one saying this. Everyone is talking about it.

Does that make something right?

Don't just listen to what others say.

If you want to know someone, get close and understand them.

You can't define a person with a few words.

From now on, anyone caught forming cliques or slandering classmates

will be expelled from Class 18!

Wherever you go in life, people will always watch and judge you.

The "you" that others see isn't the real you.

The "you" you see in the mirror isn't the real you.

However, the way you see others

reflects your true self.

Ms. He seems angry. Let's go.

Lin Qi Le, don't be nervous.

When we get to the teacher's office, explain properly.

Ms. He is kind. She won't give you a hard time.

If needed, I'll come in and explain for you.

There is no need, Class Monitor. I can handle it.

Please take it back for me.

Were you affected by what your classmates said?

Not at all?

From now on, you should spend more time with female classmates.

Always spending time with male classmates will inevitably spark gossip.

Secondly, the result is also not good.

Ms. He.

First and foremost, Cai Fang Yuan and Yu Qiao are my close friends.

Their gender comes second.

I don't think I've done anything wrong,

so I don't care about others' opinions.

They're my good friends,

and I have no reason to distance myself from them.

Your priority now should be to focus on your studies.

Experimental High School's Class 18 is a challenging class to attend.

If you keep ranking low on monthly exams,

next semester you'll be transferred out of Class 18.

First, having good friends isn't against my wishes

nor does it violate school regulations.

Still, if it's a school policy to remove students for poor grades,

then I'll comply.

I'll study hard.

I'll try my best to stay in the class.

Facing challenges requires more than just bold words.

The bottom 15 students will attend Saturday morning tutoring sessions.

Work hard.
