Zheng Yu?

Why are you here?

I just finished some experiments. I'm on my way home.

Do you live here?

- You're here for…? - Tutoring.

Do you know where Building 14 is?

Building 14?

It's hard to find. I'll take you there.

By the way, I forgot to give you this at the ward last time.

Here you go.

Was it because you saw this that you were curious?

How much farther? Let's hurry.

BLOCK A, BUILDING 014

This is it.

Thank you.

Yanzhou?

Why are you two together?

This is my cousin.

Do you know my tutor?

No, we just happened to both be at the door.

Here's your assignment. Stop making excuses.

I'm leaving.

Since you're Gao Xing's tutor,

stay for dinner.

Yanzhou, no!

- No, thanks. - What's going on?

Gao Xing's tutor delivered her assignment?

Hello.

Hello, ma'am.

Don't be shy. Feel free to look around.

Come in.

ELEGANT CHAMBER OF FRAGRANT ORCHIDS CHEN YANZHOU

My aunt said you could look around,

and you really made yourself at home.

Ms. Zhou, do you need help?

Here. Do you have enough?

Yes, thank you.

I made these scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Of course, this is also the only dish I'm good at.

Try it.

Uncle,

who cooks their signature dish

and ends up making such a mess?

You brat.

You're so naughty.

How could you embarrass me like that?

I remember Yanzhou was a picky eater as a child.

He wouldn't even touch scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Now that he has grown up,

he's not as picky anymore.

It doesn't sound like a compliment.

I was wrong.

Okay, all right.

I thought we were strangers.

If you hide here, won't you be exposed?

I don't know what to say.

Are my parents that scary?

They're quite nice.

If you ask me, your cousin is scarier.

Is the fearless Ms. Zheng

afraid of a senior high school student?

Let me help you.

What happened here?

It's just a winter rash from the damp weather.

I'll apply ointment later.

Yanzhou,

I ordered dry cleaning.

I'll add your jacket that's on the sofa.

- Okay. - Is there anything in the pockets?

No…

No, there is something here.

What is it?

Whose student ID card is this?

Does it belong to your classmate?

It's an upperclassman.

Is your mom okay?

She…

Don't assume that a few conversations and a few meetings

make us close friends.

Don't you think that is a personal question?

Wait!

Wait.

ROUTE 89

STUDENT IDENTIFICATION CARD NAME: ZHOU GUANQI

We were having a nice meal. Why did you have to bring her up?

Now I've lost my appetite.

Why did Chen Huimei tell you to come?

There's no lesson today, but with you here,

this feels like a tutoring session.

Bear with it. She told me to come tomorrow too.

Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve. Why would you come?

No, I have to teach her a lesson.

If you went to your uncle's house for the holiday,

your mom wouldn't worry.

I don't want to spend the holiday at his place or with you.

At dinner last time,

you and your uncle seemed close.

Why won't you go to his house?

I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing around my aunt

and ending up like last time.

Whose student ID card is this?

Does it belong to your classmate?

Do you mean that day that we had dinner together?

Yes. That day…

Whatever. It's fine to tell you.

Actually,

that student ID card

doesn't belong to some upperclassman.

It's my other cousin's.

My aunt's other son.

His name was Zhou Guanqi.

Six years ago,

he passed away.

It was a huge shock to my aunt.

She fell ill.

When she woke up,

she forgot Guanqi.

Forgot?

Do you mean amnesia?

The adults said

it was from too much grief.

In order to protect her,

her mind blocked part of her memories.

I've heard of this before.

But it's usually temporary.

After a while, the patient will recover their memories.

I wouldn't know either way.

Maybe my aunt is just more devastated than other people.

Feels good to get it out.

So did none of you ever tell her about this?

My aunt is doing very well now.

If it were you,

would you tell her?

If you ever see her in the neighborhood, remember to keep the secret.

Yanzhou.

Your grandma is coming to dinner tomorrow.

Does this outfit look all right?

You should wear bright colors more often. It looks good.

Really?

Take a picture for me.

It's not turning on.

Is the battery flat?

It's still not responding.

Is it broken?

I'll take it to a repair shop.

The stores are probably closed for the holidays.

- What's wrong? - There has to be one open.

You can wait a few days for the shops to open.

- It's fine. - Mom.

I'll go.

It's cold out.

Tutoring today?

Gao Xing is home alone. Her mom worries.

My aunt is busy this time every year.

Gao Xing usually went to her dad's house.

This year, it wasn't an option.

By the way,

is the phone repair shop next to the convenience store open?

They should have closed for the holidays already.

Do you need your phone repaired?

It's my mom.

Her phone isn't working, and she needs it.

I checked nearby shops.

They're all closed.

It's okay.

I'll keep searching farther.

My ride is here. I have to go.

Wait.

I know a place that can fix it.

APPLIANCE REPAIRS

Wait here.

I'll go inside to talk to him.

It's five years old.

It's never had a problem or its battery replaced.

I'll pay any price if it can be fixed and all files preserved.

I'll transfer it to you.

Is there a passcode?

Don't worry. That person has professional ethics.

That's not what I meant.

The passcode is 990508.

Okay.

JIANG HAIXING DIGITAL REPAIR

PROFESSIONAL CELL PHONE, COMPUTER, AND DIGITAL DEVICE REPAIR CENTER

What took so long?

A rare guest.

- Can you fix it? - We're closed.

Name your price.

- Is it yours? - A classmate's.

What classmate? Are you close?

Can it be fixed?

Pay a 300-yuan deposit.

WeChat Pay, 100 yuan.

Deposit of 100 yuan.

I will message you about the phone's usage and passcode.

Do not lose a single file in it. What time will it be ready?

You just fire out orders.

Look at what time it is.

And you had to pick this hour.

Why don't you go somewhere else? I'll keep the deposit.

I wonder where you got the money.

I found a repair shop.

Zheng Yu knows them.

Yes, Gao Xing's tutor.

Okay.

I'm hanging up.

- How did it go? - You can pick it up this time tomorrow.

Sis? Why are you here?

The laptop is fixed.

He didn't mention the laptop to me.

Didn't you tell him whose it was?

I didn't.

On that page it was stuck at, there was a name.

"Chen Yanzhou."

I… I see.

- I'm leaving. - Let's get dinner.

No, thanks.

- I can join you two. - Go home.

What about tomorrow night?

What did your brother mean?

What name?

When I was working on the competition slides,

I mistyped.

My brother saw it.

Is my name that easy to type?

Do you want your phone back or not?

FORTUNE

Ms. Zhou, what's up?

Nothing.

I'm just seeing if the decoration is crooked.

It's perspective. Don't believe me?

Look at it from here.

You're right.

Mom is here.

- Mom, be careful. - Grandma.

Hello.

Dinner will be ready soon.

Just two more dishes. Sit first.

You don't have to make so much. We can't eat it all.

I was thinking of ten dishes.

A perfectly round number.

For good luck.

How can anything be perfect?

- Xiao-- - Mom.

Don't be angry. Come, sit.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Mom is angry that there won't be chicken stewed with chestnuts.

It won't be perfect without her favorite dish.

I'll help you with the rest of the dishes.

Yanzhou, keep your grandma company.

Okay.

How is your health?

Pretty good.

Your mom is really something.

She birthed two kids but couldn't take good care of either.

So…

It's okay.

Break in the new year!

- It's okay. - Look at me.

- It's okay. - I'm so clumsy.

It's all right.

It slipped and…

Yes, that's what happens.

How heartless.

Can't she even laugh?

She can.

Why not?

Your mom forgot that she is a very negligent mother.

She forgot completely. Of course she can laugh out loud.

The only one who is agonized is this old lady here.

In order to accommodate your mother, for six years,

I didn't even dare to speak my own grandson's name.

Can't you bear with it?

It's only one day a year when you need to cooperate.

You make it sound

like I'm in the wrong.

Xiaozheng,

tonight, do you want to eat freshly-wrapped dumplings

or go out to eat?

I've got an errand.

On Lunar New Year's Eve?

It's for a classmate.

Which classmate is so inconsiderate?

How could they send you on an errand today?

Let me tell you,

working overtime during holidays

is triple the pay.

Remember to up your price.

Got it.

Wait.

Wear a scarf.

Keep warm.

Make money today

to make a fortune next year.

Thank you.

Didn't you invite Gao Xing?

I did. She said she ordered McDonald's.

And your grandma?

Why did she leave without eating dinner?

Maybe because there isn't chicken stewed with chestnuts.

Nonsense.

That's just how my mom is.

Maybe she went to play mahjong.

Did you say something rude to her?

If you did, call her and apologize.

I'm full. I'm going out to pick up the phone.

PROFESSIONAL CELL PHONE, COMPUTER, AND DIGITAL DEVICE REPAIR CENTER

Here.

Zheng Yu, why are you here?

Sit and eat with us.

No way.

You drop by on Lunar New Year's Eve.

You even came empty-handed. How rude.

What's this? Only came to freeload?

Do I owe your family or something?

I'm your uncle,

not your father.

I came for the phone. I'll go after I get it.

Also…

what's the point of having your mom lying in rehab like that?

It has been three years.

She's hanging on by a thread.

Yet, you spend beyond your means,

hiring two caregivers for her.

If you're so filial,

take her home.

You're her daughter. Care for her yourself.

Have you found it?

If she doesn't make it,

that's her fate.

Set her free.

You ungrateful girl!

Is she an ungrateful girl or what?!

When you were chased and beaten for gambling debts,

if my mom hadn't paid it off for you, you would have been crippled.

I know you won't repay it.

I'm also not asking you to.

But I ask you

to show respect to my mom.

Also,

you tell me to take my mom home and care for her.

But, Uncle…

do I have a home?

Zheng Yu.

- Don't follow me. - Zheng Yu.

It's Lunar New Year's Eve.

If you don't want to stay, I'll go with you.

Every day, I care for Mom,

go to class, make money, and pay off debts.

I'm exhausted enough already.

I don't have the energy to waste time with you.

When our family was in trouble,

Jiang Haixing still bought stuff for you monthly.

When I asked to borrow money from him,

he referred me to Wu Fa.

Dad's side of the family

would only take you out to eat.

When we stayed at their place,

they bought you a new bed.

I slept on the floor.

Having all this, you should behave.

So what if it's Lunar New Year's Eve?

It only makes me seem more pathetic.

RED PACKET

FROM XIAOMIAN

Sis, happy Lunar New Year.

I've heard that eating ice cream when you're unhappy

can freeze your tears.

You believe that?

I was a kid.

I believed anything people said.

You and your uncle are clearly on bad terms.

Why did you still help me fix the phone?

You heard everything?

When I arrived at the shop, I thought you hadn't come yet.

The door was open, so I thought I would pick up the phone first.

In the end,

I heard you and your uncle fighting.

Why help me?

I wasn't helping you.

I was helping your mom.

Gao Xing

told me about your mom.

I didn't mean to pry.

I didn't say anything.

I was afraid you would say it's too personal again.

You hold a grudge.

I apologize for what I said before.

It's not that serious.

Then we're even now.

What do you mean?

You inquired about Zhou Guanqi.

I went to the hospital ward uninvited.

You unintentionally learned about my mom.

I accidentally overheard you and your uncle.

We're even.

Is that how it's counted?

It's snowing.

Zheng Yu.

Happy Lunar New Year.

Happy Lunar New Year, Chen Yanzhou.

Our city center square has a Lunar New Year's Eve event.

I'm being squished to death!

I'm so exhausted.

Everyone is taking it easy.

I told my dad not to make a big feast.

It's best if he makes me a salad.

He really did put together a few vegetable leaves.

But there's no salad dressing, so he added chili sauce!

Hilarious!

If I said I was dieting during the holidays,

my parents would definitely bite my head off.

Mine too!

Zheng Yu, are you home yet?

It's the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Can't you give me a break?

MITOCHONDRIA MAIN SITE OF AEROBIC RESPIRATION

Can we move the Lantern Festival session to tomorrow?

No.

You know I'm busy tomorrow and can't come.

Your competition.

That's too bad.

Just give me the Lantern Festival off.

No. I've already confirmed the schedule with your mom.

Then let's take a photo of our lesson at home and send it to her.

Then you can take me out.

She will still pay you. You get money.

I get to have fun.

Everyone's happy.

I don't know what's fun. You're asking the wrong person.

Then I'll get Yanzhou to deal with you.

Classmates, right?

We just have a few classes together. We're not close.

I was right.

Zhuang Ning?

Why are you back so early?

I wanted to watch you compete.

Us? Is that worth giving up your holiday for?

Welcome.

My mom packed my suitcase full of food.

I barely have any clothes.

I'm the opposite. I have two suitcases this time.

I don't believe

you wheeled them here yourself.

Happy Lunar New Year, Xiaolizi.

Here. This is for you.

Zhuang Ning,

this is for you.

This is my hometown's specialty. It's delicious.

Thank you.

If hers is too spicy, use this to cancel it out.

I didn't bring any specialties.

That's okay.

I brought teabags.

Then I'll help myself.

Thank you.

Right.

Are you sure?

What if she gives it back?

Why did you bring four portions?

When I first came to school,

I also brought a lot of snacks.

But Zheng Yu didn't take anything.

I later discovered that she stays here for the holidays.

She never goes home.

Since then, I haven't brought back any specialties.

I felt like I shouldn't.

During the break, I even asked in the group chat

if she went home.

That's enough. Let's not worry about it.

Let's prepare for the competition.

One, two, three.

- Go! - Go!

EXCELLENCE CUP COLLEGE STUDENT LIFE SCIENCES COMPETITION

Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu, hurry inside. They're drawing lots soon.

What is that?

Where is Chen Yanzhou?

He didn't say he was coming.

Then who were you waiting for?

I wasn't. Just getting some air.

Over there.

Who was so awful?

How could they knock over our biggest patron--

I mean, our biggest patroness?

YE SHENG, CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF NINGSHENG BIOTECH

No, you're being modest. Too modest.

As expected of the industry's female elite.

If Ms. Ye's schedule wasn't packed,

this insignificant director

wouldn't have the chance to be a judge

with industry leaders like you.

She truly is a wonder woman.

No wonder she's still single.

You can't say that carelessly.

If the wrong person heard that,

they would say we're being discriminatory.

Yes, you're right.

Wait.

- Carry on. - Sure.

See for yourself.

I've been looking.

I don't see a place card with the words "Cai Ronggen."

I'm sorry.

We only found out today that Ms. Ye wouldn't be coming.

We didn't have time to prepare one. Please sit in her seat.

We will have it replaced before the competition starts.

Wait.

Was I done yet? Did I say you could leave?

Is this how the organizer should act?

Yes, I'm here on behalf of Ms. Ye,

but should you be so negligent?

It's a small place card, and you drag your feet.

Sorry, I'll get right on it.

Hurry up!

It's not like it's a credit card.

Young people nowadays just do a sloppy job.

They need disciplining.

Zheng Yu, over here.

Sit here.

Zhuang Ning said she wanted to watch us.

Is NingSheng BioTech a sponsor this year?

The biggest sponsor.

They might hold the fate of all the contestants in their hands.

ZHENG YU PRESENTATION ORDER NUMBER

MR. LI

Where are you?

- I'm in a traffic jam. - It's rush hour.

It's expected. You should've left early.

The campus is so close to home.

As the saying goes, confidence breeds carelessness.

Let me tell you,

Zheng Yu was waiting for you.

At least send her encouragement.

I know.

Sir, just let me off here. I'll bike there.

ANY SUGGESTIONS OR CRITICISMS ARE WELCOME!

Thank you for your brilliant defense.

The next team is

from Qing Yi University's College of Life Sciences.

Their topic is a study on the immune-enhancing effect

of particulate aluminum adjuvants based on the oil-emulsion adjuvant strategy.

Their topic…

Zheng Yu.

…received high praise from their college's dean.

Let's give a warm welcome to them.

You've got this.

CAI RONGGEN

Hello, everyone.

I'm Zheng Yu, from Qing Yi University's College of Life Sciences.
