[Summit of Our Youth]

[Episode 5]

Graduates, huh?

Then everything's fine.

By the way,

you graduated from?

Galidon College in the UK.

Galidon College?

Yeah.

Is that a real college?

It is!

A prestigious newcomer actually.

For real?

Yep.

Alright, I won't keep you.

Thank you, sir.

What happened here?

Such a mess!

This isn't my thing anyway.

Better get outta here.

Cute panda,

though!

Why am I here?

Manhunt!

Yeah!

I'm leaving then!

Okay.

No problem.

Now, where is this kid?

Let's go.

Let me take that off for you.

No way!

That's my disguise!

What if

Mr. Fu comes back?

I'll be toast!

Got the culprits.

You should run.

I'm not leaving, master!

Let's protect the beautiful world

of Azeroth together!

Seriously, go home!

If Xuejiao catches me,

she'll give me hell again.

Then I'll share the blame with you.

Keep this up

and I'm calling your parents.

Give me the number.

No need for that!

I'll head home after I finish my noodles.

Master,

listen,

from now on, just call me

Master's Defender!

Call yourself whatever you want.

Just stop calling me

"master" 24/7!

Seriously, you're killing me!

You're pretty much dead already.

What?

You?

I...

You're dead meat!

Xuejiao!

Let's talk this out!

Lin!

Family business, stay out of it.

You're dead meat.

You're coming home with me. Now.

Easy!

Don't hurt my master!

Hit me if you have to!

You're not even an official employee

at Roller Blast.

Why are you working so hard?

You don't even take New Year's off?

Well, I'll let it slide

this time

since it's New Year's.

You can insult my master,

but never Roller Blast!

No,

you can't insult him either!

I've never seen a designer

who gets users better than he does.

But you treat him like he's nobody!

It's not that bad...

Master says,

Roller Blast is going mobile

one day.

It'll be

even more popular!

Easy, no crazy flag please.

Master...

I've decided!

My new alias is—

Flag!

Flag?

It sounds so

familiar...

What's so funny?

You think so too, don't you?

Nah, I just think it's a little cringey.

But honestly,

it does match the game on that flyer.

The winner of

the Best Designer Award

at the 2023 Hangzhou Game Expo,

Flag!

Please come up to the stage

to accept your award!

This kid

used to call me "Master".

Roller Blast mobile version?

Yeah!

It'll get more popular than this?

Okay, enough bragging.

Let's go home.

Remember how

I covered for you?

You promised you'd return the favor.

Go ahead, snitch on me.

If I ever get scared, I'll take your last name!

I'm not a snitch.

And you already have my last name.

Gu Xuejiao,

don't just walk away like that!

You're creeping me out.

Thanks for the help.

What's going on?

See that?

That's what it looks like to run the show.

Jealous?

[18 February, 2015 109 days till college entrance exam]

[23 February, 2015 104 days till college entrance exam]

Coming!

Morning.

I finished three practice tests

before I left.

Get some sleep.

What are you doing

so early in the morning?

We're

doing morning exercises.

Yeah,

new semester, new vibe.

So, um,

Lin said that

morning exercise is good for the brain.

He should exercise more.

Lin's got a point.

Wait a second.

One of you's

in pajamas,

the other in a jacket?

How are you exercising?

Well,

Mingze is

going for a jog.

Go ahead then.

Let's go.

I pulled an all-nighter.

Are you trying

to kill me?

Why'd you come back

at this hour anyway?

Just go sweat it out.

Bye.

Alright.

Easy, Xuejiao,

careful with your back.

Got it.

Dad,

good night!

Saying good night

so early in the morning?

[23 February, 2015 104 days till college entrance exam]

[28 February, 2015 99 days till college entrance exam]

My dear sister!

Gross! Just call me

by my name!

Thanks for such an awesome gift.

The latest smartphone!

Reward from

the stock exchange?

Good for you.

Thanks a ton!

This is weird...

Since when does the stock exchange

give out fancy gifts

to small investors?

What's up?

Mingze got a phone

from the stock exchange.

Feeling jealous?

Not really,

it's just a phone.

I've got bigger dreams!

Keep your feet on the ground for now.

Sit down.

A bunch of wrongs again?

Sorry.

Hurry and fix your mistakes.

Today we're starting

the next phase of your study plan.

Is A the right answer here?

Xuejiao,

even your brother could get this one.

Mock exam goals

and study plan:

second,

apply what you learn

and strengthen your memory.

Relative molecular mass.

Xuejiao.

Starch, polysaccharide,

polymer compound.

Chemical formula:

(C6H10O5)n.

It can be converted by the liver

into glycogen and triglycerides.

Eat too much starch,

you risk

heart disease,

and gaining weight.

Then eat this.

Fructose, monosaccharide.

It has the same formula as glucose.

Both are C6H12O6.

They're isomers of each other.

Moderate intake helps you think better.

Here, eat up.

How do you know so much

about health and nutrition?

Trying to make the world a better place.

You're seriously impressive.

If I had to memorize all this,

my brain would explode.

Xuejiao!

Snacks!

Thanks!

That's the last bag of this flavor.

I'll restock for you.

What's up with them?

Go get them!

Hey, you two! Just wait!

Stop!

Hello? Lin?

What time is

our tutorial tonight?

The tutorial is canceled.

Gao Rui just woke up.

Gao!

Thank God.

You are...

You don't recognize me?

Oh, sorry, we'll

get out of your way then.

Just kidding.

Come on, man.

Still got

no sense of humor, huh?

Ma'am,

are there any post-op

side effects we should be aware of?

What should we

watch out for during his recovery?

And when will he be able to go home?

Why not just ask her

to write you up a

full post-op care

slideshow?

You really think she

has time for that?

How are you feeling?

I'm fine, feeling much better.

Three, two, three, four.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Gao, just focus on getting better.

Make yourself at home in the hospital.

Three, four, five, six...

Most people

want patients to

get out of here quickly,

right?

I really need to get discharged,

so I can get back to tutoring you two.

That would be the real disaster.

Gao,

can you maybe stay

in the hospital a little longer?

I get it.

You're worried if I get discharged,

Lin won't

keep tutoring you.

My number one client's

getting poached!

Relax.

I'm just an occasional

drop-in student.

At best, a potential client.

Your loyal customer Gu Mingze

is and will always be your ball and chain.

Massage

the Sibai acupuncture point.

One, two, three, four.

Five, six, seven, eight.

So, um,

after class today...

I've got plans.

With who?

Do I have to tell you everything?

I wanna come too.

You sure about that?

I got a tutorial.

You wanna join?

I'm in.

Finish this then.

Just end me now.

Tell me the truth,

were you worried I'd never wake up?

Just sitting home every single day,

drowning your sorrows in joke books?

But with all these hospital visits,

do you even have time for experiments?

Fried chicken!

That's not for you.

You just had surgery,

stick to bland diet for now.

I'm fed up with

rice porridge and pickles.

I've been in here for ages.

Did you guys

pay the bills for me?

Relax.

Your bills won't break me.

I won the lottery.

No joke.

That's

too wild

even for you.

Nobody's buying that.

Never stop talking

even when you're eating, huh?

But honestly, seeing you this energetic

is a relief.

Gotta run to tutoring.

See you tomorrow.

Wait,

something's off.

Since when do you like fried chicken?

Who's it for, then?

Your hopeless tutee's little sis.

Why does she get fried chicken

and I don't?

Are you secretly charging her or something?

Shouldn't he

go to the lab?

Rui,

forget the lab for now.

Just focus on getting better,

we'll be waiting for you to bounce back.

Does "we"

include Lin Zhihua?

Professor Tan,

your researcher

is turning into a top-notch tutor!

Hey, Gao.

I just found out

Professor Tan

thought something was off with Lin.

He booted him from the lab

months ago.

Thing is,

C1's our project.

I can't finish it without him.

So I need to

get him back ASAP.

Then go talk to Professor Tan.

I don't even know him.

That's a bit much to ask.

Look,

if you managed

to talk him into being your tutor,

no idea how you

pulled that off,

but

I bet you can

help with this, too.

You

sure about that?

The real problem now:

Professor Tan thinks

Lin's not being his normal self.

But Professor Tan surely

wants his star student

back in the lab

more than anyone.

So really,

we gotta

get Lin back on his game.

He's just never gotten past

that mental block.

He doesn't say so,

but I know deep down

he still blames himself

for what happened.

Ten years from now,

Lin's stuck in management

instead of engineering.

All because of

that accident?

The world needs one more

brilliant engineer

not another corporate suit.

[Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Counseling]

I took psych as an elective in college.

Hopefully this will spark some ideas.

[Counseling Principles] Conclusion only,

and skip the methodology?

Straight-up geniuses

are just built differently.

Lin?

About that alumni speech,

you in or out?

My head teacher

cornered me today

and asked me,

your outstanding junior,

to invite you,

our star alum,

back to the campus

and give us

a pre-exam pep talk.

Step one

for beating

PTSD:

Return to where it began

and own that stage again.

I don't have time.

No need to worry about

missing our tutorial sessions.

It's not about you.

Come on, think about it,

so many of us are

looking forward to it.

Hi.

Is order 1162 ready?

Coming right up.

Cheers.

Cheers.

So all that was just

for a delivery order?

Such a pretty latte art, too bad

the customer won't even get to see it.

See?

You don't have that craftsman's spirit.

Yeah, well.

Not everyone

can be like you, Lin.

Seriously,

don't you think

you working here

is just like making latte art for takeout coffee?

Meaning?

Such a waste!

Get back to your homework.

I...

You promised me

you'd get him here, no matter what!

You said for sure

Lin Zhihua would show!

Now you're telling me he can't make it?

So who's going to give the speech

now?

Should I cancel the whole thing?

Sir, calm down.

Have some water first.

Xuejiao

swore to me

that Lin Zhihua

could come.

And I admit,

I probably just trusted her too much.

Well...

You know,

Lin's gotten a bit

full of himself recently.

Absolutely.

Mr. Fu.

Speak of the devil!

Shouldn't talk about people behind their backs.

You're right, here he is.

[Outstanding Alumni Panel Lin Zhihua, Capital University]

Hello, everyone.

I'm Lin Zhihua.

Back at No.7 High today,

my mission's simple:

help every one of you

get into your dream colleges.

And I know

everyone here today

has amazing potential.

[JINGHAI NO.7 HIGH SCHOOL]

Here is

what worked for me.

Back in high school,

we all label courses,

either memorization or understanding.

[Outstanding Alumni Panel Lin Zhihua, Capital University]

Like in science,

physics is

a total nightmare for many.

Most of you probably think

it's all about

understanding concepts.

But that's not the whole story.

Physics...

[JINGHAI NO.7 HIGH SCHOOL]

You may think

it's all about understanding.

Look, everyone's taking pictures.

But honestly,

memorizing formulas is where you start.

Only then can you

wield them like tools.

Help me take a picture

when this is over, okay?

No problem.

Three, two, one... cheese!

Take one for me too!

Me too!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Alright.

[JINGHAI NO.7 HIGH SCHOOL]

Three, two, one...

Cheese!

Come on, Lin.

Me too! I want one!

Last one, girls.

Lin's really busy.

Three, two, one.

[JINGHAI NO.7 HIGH SCHOOL]

All done, Lin.

Thank you.

Come on, let's go.

Lin,

is there a written version

of your study tips?

Can I get a copy?

Me too! I want one!

School's posting it...

You'll all get it.

Lin's got other things to do now,

so let's wrap it up.

Lin,

could you repeat

that book list?

Yes, please!

I've got the list!

I've got it!

I have the list!

Check the school forum!

Everyone, time to go!

[JINGHAI NO.7 HIGH SCHOOL]

Lin,

this is for you.

Thank you for the speech.

I specially bought this for you.

I'm a huge fan

of your teaching style.

I also heard

you're my sister's tutor.

Small world, huh?

Your sister?

Yeah.

Our families are distant relatives.

Plus,

Auntie Sitong's been

our housekeeper for years.

I call her Auntie,

so Xuejiao is basically

like a real little sister to me.

She told me

Xuejiao got a really

dedicated tutor lately.

I'm so jealous.

Lin,

could you tutor me too?

My parents will pay

double your rate.

Housekeeper?

Hold on!

No way!

That's not happening...

Sorry.

Seriously, Xuejiao?

Just 'cause your family's tight on cash

means no one else gets tutoring?

You just can't see the big picture.

Someone like Lin,

so noble, so above it all,

he sees money as nothing.

Think he'd care about money?

You just don't get it.

Right, Lin?

Look,

it's clear you're talented,

and very smart.

But the first mock exam

is less than

a month away.

Having one student

is already hard enough for me.

I can't handle two.

But...

With less than a month left,

we really can't waste time

on some

irrelevant people.

Let's go, excuse us.

Coming through.

Lin!

She's got no shame.

What's the big deal?

What?

Getting nervous about

Here she comes!

She's here!

All excited, huh?

Mock exam results are in,

along with rankings.

I'll call names, collect your score sheets

Keep grinding.

Gu Xuejiao.

Zhou Shiyun.

9th in the year!

Thank you, sir.

Liu Yanbin.

13th in the year.

You're incredible!

I wonder

if she made it

into the top 100.

If that dork

made it,

I'll eat my hat.

Wonder how

she did...

Ask her!

Xuejiao,

listen, it's totally normal not to

score high on these tests.

It's okay.

Don't stress.

will ask Uncle Zhou,

to pull some strings,

or maybe

switch schools.

Look at her!

[Name: Gu Xuejiao Gu Total: 596 Class Rank: 1]

Eat what?

What do we eat?

Hmmm, I want

Not today.

What's up?

will

rot your...

or have you completely lost it,

Why bother?

[QUIT TEAM]

What?

Quitting?

Gotta focus

on studying now.

What's gotten into you?

Didn't you always say you'd rather dig ditches

than study?

99th vs. 427th,

that's 328 spots between us,

a 27-team gap.

You're right.

I've got to start

closing the gap

between her and me.

Now you sound like me.

I got through every test with this.

But I won't need it anymore.

I'm passing it on to you.

Put it to good use.

Better not.

I am

bottom-ten material for now.

If I actually use it,

I'll inherit your "dead last" title.

ain't just dreams.

[5F Neurosurgery]

Can't believe it,

you'd come to tell Gao

after getting your scores.

Of course,

he is

our matchmaker.

What?

M...

M...

M...

Middleman,

right.

Watch your wording.

Excuse me.

That patient...

Three, two, one.

Don't know.

Hello?

What?

What's up?

Gao Rui went out for a test drive.

What's going on?

Gao...

Sir,

Gao insisted on testing to see

if the last accident would happen again.

So you've been his sidekick

since college,

Mr. Lin?

Gao!

The system's still buggy!

Trying to crash twice?

That was just a freak accident.

I'm not backing down.

One-in-ten-thousand chance,

it won't happen again.

Gao, listen to me...

You're off the team.

What gives you the right to stop me?

I don't wanna watch you die!

I've been

reviewing what happened.

It's not probability.

Our test system's compatibility with

the environmental simulation settings

is really poor.

It led to a stack overflow,

which crashed the whole thing.

If you want back in,

wait until I've fixed the bugs,

deal?

How long will it take?

Lin,

I knew it,

you're stalling again.

The hospital just called,

I only have a 10% chance

of recovering through rehab.

Maybe

it would've been better

if I'd just died in that car.

Let's go.

He can debug

right now!

Who are you?

Hey!

You're asking me to debug

right here and now?

Whether you're helping Gao out

with the project

or tutoring me,

haven't you always been working

on your debug plans?

That's not true.

Then why glued

to your laptop?

Binge-watching TV shows?

Let's go, start the car.

Gao, don't do anything stupid!

Give me ten minutes.

Just ten minutes.

Hello.

I need your help.

Hi.

What are you working on?

Cut to the chase.

Don't stand so close.

Make a sentence with a conditional.

My amount of exercise

is at my limit.

Starch is?

Polysaccharide.

And monosaccharides?

Ribose, glucose,

fructose, and galactose.

All done.

But this is just a model for now.

It needs tons of

testing and experiments before...

Professor?

You guys...

Professor.

Your vacation

is about over.

Professor,

Lin Zhihua from C1 Lab, Capital University,

requesting reinstatement.

Request

approved.

You tricked me!

I was overthinking before.

A new perspective cleared things up.

And it's all thanks to you, Professor,

for making me take a break

and do odd jobs.

It helped me find a new solution.

Lin!

You have no idea how hard I worked

to get you back on the team.

How are you going to thank me

for this huge favor?

I was already planning

to come back regardless.

How were we supposed to know?

Anyway,

I've been worrying

about you nonstop.

And I heard from Gao

that you hit the lottery.

Shouldn't you give me

a little something?

Doesn't have to be fancy.

Just

some nice

top-100 celebration gift,

how does that sound?

Sure.

Fifty sets of mock exams

from the last five years.

How does that sound?

Make it a hundred!

Pick something else!

Something else?

How about I give you a quiz?

That's even worse!

Gao, listen to me...

You're off the team.

What gives you the right to stop me?

I don't wanna watch you die!

You're asking me to debug

right here and now?

Whether you're helping Gao out

with the project

or tutoring me,

haven't you always been working

on your debug plans?

That's not true.

Then why glued

to your laptop?

Binge-watching TV shows?

What's happening?

Don't panic, just hit the call button!

I once believed

that I

controlled my own destiny.

As a child

commanding toy cars,

or effortlessly

mastering exams.

I could precisely score 59

in every subject, deliberately failing.

This control thrilled me

more than perfect scores.

In entrepreneurship,

victories came so easily.

What I valued most

were my brothers-in-arms.

No,

comrades.

But years later,

at my best friend's funeral,

I suddenly realized

destiny

was never

mine to command.

Sometimes, it mocks me.

The more I tighten my grip,

the less I have to hold.

Gao Rui.

Time of death:

September 5, 2014

10:19:32

PM.

When fate chooses

to break the arrogant,

it requires nothing but a flick of its wrist.

Then someone told me,

that's not true.

Why are you so afraid to die?

Someone told me,

as long as you're alive,

you always have the chance to start again.

Hey.

You're blocking my view.

What did you say?

I said,

you're blocking my view of the scenery.

You know,

I sent seventeen resumes this summer.

But my college isn't very good,

so no one wanted me.

Seventeen rejections straight,

and I never even thought about giving up.

So what's got you

so stuck?

Not getting an internship

isn't the end of the world.

Who said I was giving up?

Then why are you

sitting up there?

Getting ready to swim?

Nothing should

take over your entire life.

So you know,

no matter what happens,

it's not worth giving up your life for.

Babe.

As long as you're alive,

you always have the chance to start again.

Wish you a long, long life.

As long as you're alive...

This time,

I've returned to

before it all began.

Is this

fate messing with me again,

or a second chance to turn it all around?

Gao Rui.

Time of death:

September 5, 2014.

So sad...

He and Lin

were best friends.

Lin hasn't been the same since.

Don't distract the genius

while he's reviewing the incident.

What?

You couldn't find it either?

[Contact: Gao Rui]

Hello?

Gao?

What's up?

You miss me already?

Nonsense.

Now,

listen carefully.

We have to cancel

today's road test.

Something bad could happen.

All-nighter debugging

got you hallucinating?

Wait,

how did you know?

Doesn't matter.

Just listen to me,

cancel the test.

We can always reschedule.

Got it?

Come on,

we've done this before.

Besides,

we're against the clock.

At least

give me

a real reason.

There'll be an accident.

Is that enough?

Seriously,

Lin,

since when

do you, Mr. Stoic,

actually

do dark humor?

I'm being serious!

Lin,

are you okay?

Don't worry.

I've got this.

The professor and experts are all here.

Hello, sirs,

I'm Lin Zhihua's partner.

My name is Gao Rui.

Gao Rui

handles all the testing,

both online and offline.

As for Lin Zhihua,

he's responsible

for motorcycle systems development

and the core architecture.

Lin will be here any minute.

Professor Tan,

we're ready for testing

at your command.

Proceed whenever you want.

Understood.

Gao Rui.

♪I try to open up my arms♪

♪Because I'm certain of this love♪

♪Summit of our youth♪

♪Even if the wind roars, it's okay♪

♪There's a figure approaching♪

♪I know it must be you♪
