It's that time of the year again.

Look at all these young people hanging around under the tree's shade.

Every year, on this day,

they come to tie a red string of fate

and pray for success in love.

Many years ago,

I crossed the seas to arrive here at this spot.

It has been more than 100 years.

I wonder when it all started.

I wonder when people began calling me the Old Lunar Tree.

Being constantly surrounded by couples in love,

I have yet to feel the signs of old age.

But wait.

Something seems to be happening.

It's a proposal.

I'm getting a strong hunch.

It's a feeling I've never had before.

Who is it?

Which girl is it?

Is it you?

The luckiest girl in the whole world.

She's proposing!

No thanks.

Check this out! A new update on the page.

The clown from Class F got rejected by the genius from Class A.

-Seriously? -The whole school is talking about it.

She sure had a lot of guts.

Zhi-shu Jiang is the man! Wow!

That's sad.

Zhi-shu claims another victim

No thanks.

Confessing to Zhi-shu?

Don't you have a mirror at home?

I kind of pity her for getting rejected.

She knew it wasn't going to work out, but she did it anyway.

She was too ambitious.

Hey, I think she's Yue-qin Xiang.

Look, it's Yue-qin!

-It's Yue-qin. -How pitiful...

-Hey, Yue-qin. -Yue-qin.

Stop bothering me!

-It's Yue-qin. -Yue-qin...

-Look. -It's Yue-qin.

Hey, Yue-qin.

She got rejected!

It's Yue-qin Xiang!

-She overestimated herself. -Yue-qin.

Mei-mei.

I just proposed to Zhi-shu Jiang,

but it ended up on the Secret Tree Page.

You must be out of your mind.

Why did you do that?

You knew he wasn't going accept you.

But I've had a crush on him for the past two years.

I can't let my high school years just end

without him ever knowing how I feel.

I spent the whole last night to write the love letter.

I wrote countless drafts, over and over.

Hello my schoolmate, Zhi-shu Jiang.

I'm Yue-qin Jiang from Class F.

I'm sure you have no idea who I am,

but I know pretty much everything about you.

It's not right...

Since I never got the chance to talk to you,

I decided to write this letter to convey my feelings.

I wish to get to know you better.

I like you, Zhi-shu Jiang.

Stop dreaming the impossible!

He's Zhi-shu Jiang.

So what if he's Zhi-shu Jiang?

He's just a top student that scored the highest in the national mock exam,

has an IQ of 200, handsome and rich.

So what? It doesn't justify him being a jerk.

You don't have to make me feel better.

I'm a fool. I'm stupid.

If I could turn back time to the first day of school,

-I wish I didn't meet him then. -Next, we'll have

the new student representative, Zhi-shu Jiang,

to give a speech on stage.

Good morning to the principal, teachers

and fellow students.

My name is Zhi-shu Jiang.

Firstly, I'd like to express the happiness and excitement

in being part of the Xingdou family

-on behalf of the new students. -Wow.

-I really hope we can -He's so handsome!

-make wonderful memories... -If only we could be in the same class.

A, B, C, D, E, F.

I just need to jump five levels to be in his class.

Yue-qin.

You're my woman.

Mine.

Ah-jin?

What are you doing?

I heard you proposed to a guy from Class A.

Is that true?

You actually like a nerd like him?

Can you stop pestering me about it?

I have to know!

The whole school is talking about it. I'm about to go crazy!

Two years ago,

I've already claimed you...

after our hug of love.

I've told you many times before.

That wasn't even a hug.

Your resistance is futile.

Our relationship

is destined by fate.

What?

By the way, girls...

It's time! Time for our lesson.

Get back to your seats.

Today, we're going to talk about

the year 1977.

Which one of you can tell me what happened in 1977?

Anyone?

Xiao-sen?

Mei-mei?

-Stupid. -Not knowing the answer is fine.

It's more important to enjoy learning.

Don't feel pressured. Advanced learning is not Class F's goal anyway.

-We will learn what we can -Yue-qin.

through communicating.

Anyway, something big happened

in the year of 1977.

Which is...

I, your teacher,

released my first album!

-Not again. -There he goes again.

The fancier love is

The more it hurts

I'm weary so I just want

to live a normal life alone...

Hey!

How dare you play with your phone while you're in class?

You better watch it or else I will turn your phone into...

a paper airplane!

-Put it away! -Sorry.

What's all the fuss about?

Just put it on the airplane mode so that it can fly!

Seriously?

Was it not funny?

-Zhi-zhu Jin. -Not funny?

-Was it funny? -Wasn't it?

Zhi-zhu Jin.

Before you try to act all cool,

please take a good look in the mirror.

You always try to be a hero

by helping others and upholding justice

through rash actions. But listen to this.

You've just accumulated two big demerits points!

-What? -What are you guys laughing at?

Since the youth cooking competition finals is around the corner,

I will give you a chance to redeem yourself.

If you do well,

you would make the school proud

and secure your entry to college.

Ah-jin.

This is the right path.

Stop wasting your time on other things!

-Sir, -Yes?

-I've already got a plan. -Huh?

When I win the youth cooking competition

and when they ask me to give a speech,

I'll propose to Yue-qin.

I will defeat Zhi-shu Jiang!

-Okay, good. -Ah-jin! Ah-jin!

-A man should have dreams! -Ah-jin! Ah-jin!

Way to go Ah-jin! Way to go!

I know I was being too hasty.

But what's so great about a guy that won't even read my letter?

I must have been blind.

Heartless jerk.

I'm moving on from you.

From this moment on, you no longer exist

-in my world. -All right,

that's the basics of the Large Hadron Collider.

Now, I have some good news to share with you guys.

Our classmate, Zhi-shu Jiang,

has been invited to visit the Central Institute of Physics

to learn about their study on the Large Hadron Collider.

Zhi-shu, please stand up. Give him a round of applause.

Awesome.

That's great, thank you.

Let's return to the fourth part of our lesson.

-Einstein's photon theory. -Zhi-shu Jiang!

-I can't stand you! -Shut the windows.

Don't be affected by the others.

Let's continue.

XINGDOU UNIVERSITY AFFILIATED HIGH SCHOOL

Yue-qin, why do you look so down?

Hey, Yue-qin. Isn't your new house all organized?

We should all go and have a housewarming party some time.

Yeah, that's right.

What? I don't think that's a good idea.

My house is filled with things my dad made from scraps.

It's really different from other houses.

Right, you guys always make things on your own.

-How cool! -Yeah.

Actually,

I really wish to live in a house

with white window frames,

and I want it to look like the one

from the European fairy tales.

Don't worry. I'll build one for you.

Ah-jin, Yue-qin grew up with her dad

and he only has one precious daughter. It won't be easy to marry her.

It's fine. I can just join her family.

-What's up? -Join my family?

How about you? Let's go to the bookshop.

-A bookshop? -Yes.

Hey!

The letter Yue-qin wrote.

You didn't even read it.

Arrogant Class A jerk.

So? What's your problem with Class A?

Hey!

Mistreating Yue-qin means you're picking a fight with me.

You better watch it!

Ah-jin! Stop it!

Who gave you the right to hurt Yue-qin?

Say something!

Are you deaf? Or are you a mute?

Are you dumb?

Listen up.

Yue-qin is under my protection.

Also,

your brain must be fried!

How could you reject a girl like Yue-qin?

Because I dislike stupid people.

I'm going to kill him!

Ah-jin!

-Stop! -What is it?

-Stop it. -Let me go!

-Forget it. -Get back here!

SECRET TREE

That's Yue-qin from Class F

What a nice picture

Who took that nice picture?

This is ridiculous!

The past two years,

I was actually in love with...

Yue-qin is actually a smart girl.

She always remembers the daily specials at the school cafeteria.

She's a professional at cursing and playing card games.

She always picks out the best deck.

One more thing, Yue-qin was awarded with the Healthy Baby certificate

by the City Council when she was born.

She was also the champion at the baby crawling competition.

Her head was particularly big when she was younger.

Clearly, she was a smart child.

She was able to answer

any kind of questions thrown at her.

Everybody said that she was a smart girl.

This smells delicious!

The meal is ready.

Okay.

POST UNDER USERNAME

Yue-qin: Yue-qin is actually a smart girl.

Hurry up!

-Smells good, right? -It's delicious.

How awesome. I mean our new house.

Here.

Thanks.

You've had it tough in the past under my care.

I consider this house a product of our own hard work.

But Dad, somehow this house looks a little crooked though.

Nonsense!

I designed it myself and built it with my own hands.

It's different from those dishonest contractors.

Our house is built with good and strong materials.

It's going to last for a long, long time.

Right.

You've worked hard, Dad.

It was all for you, my dearest daughter.

Everything I do is worth it. Not hard for me at all.

Dear,

are you watching us?

Do you see this house I built for you, up in the heaven?

We finally have a place to call home.

Yue-qin has a place to live now.

You don't have to worry.

I think it's great.

Very good.

-Dad? -What?

Oh, I'm pretending to be your mom.

Your mom...

Let's look at the weather report. Tropical cyclone Eros

that is moving along a strange path continues to grow bigger.

Weather experts predict that Eros will turn into a typhoon today.

Dad, a typhoon is coming!

-Please, take necessary precautions. -Will our house be okay?

Don't worry, my dear.

Forget about the typhoon.

This house will still be standing

on the day you get married.

What? I don't plan to stay here after I get married.

So you're going to leave me all alone,

like an unwanted, old man?

You are so cruel.

How did I end up with such a heartless daughter?

Goodness, just eat the food.

You will get married, right?

I don't know.

-We'll talk about that later. -It's about time though.

What do you mean it's about time? I'm only a high school student.

-High school, right? -Yeah.

This is the place, right?

I think so.

Our sudden visit

will be a pleasant surprise for her, right?

Yeah, we'll definitely shock her.

-This house looks really cool. -Yes.

But, why does it look a little crooked?

Yeah, I think so too.

Maybe it was inspired by the tower of Pisa.

Yue-qin, my wife! Father-in-law!

Who's making a fuss?

Who's his father-in-law?

Who said he could simply call me that?

Father-in-law!

What's with all the noise?

Some weirdo...

-Ah-jin! -Hi.

Yue-qin, congratulations for getting a new house.

-I brought a little gift. Here. -What?

-Hello, Mr. Xiang. -Hello.

-Long time no see. Congrats! -Long time no see. Congrats!

Gosh, you guys didn't have to buy these.

Hello, Mr. Xiang. How are you?

I'm your future son-in-law.

I'm Zhi-zhu Jin.

Please leave Yue-qin to me.

I promise to take care of her.

-I will love her forever. -Hey...

What's wrong with this young man? You're scaring me.

What are you--

He just likes to joke around.

I'm not joking.

-Father-- -No more jokes, please.

Yue-qin, show around our house to your friends.

I'll get some food ready and we'll all have dinner together, okay?

-Thanks, Mr. Xiang. -Go on, now.

-Give them to me. -Let's go!

-You go too. -I'll help you, Father.

-No, it's okay. Go with them. -Let's take a tour.

-I'm good at this. I can help. -Really?

-You don't want to go? -It's fine.

-Okay... -For three, right?

My dad used a lot of recycled wood to make the house look shabby chic.

-Yue-qin. -Yes?

Your dad is so creative!

He actually built a house with an angle. How cool.

Yeah, well...

It's a new house.

So it's bound to be slightly tilted.

A DIY house is bound to be a little crooked.

Actually, I think it's a little crooked too.

By the way, why are you guys here?

-Ah-jin asked us to come. -Ah-jin?

He was worried that you're still sad, so he wanted to come and cheer you up.

-Is that so? -Yeah.

Ah-jin is a nice guy.

He really cares about you a lot.

Unlike that heartless jerk, Zhi-shu Jiang.

Okay, it's ready.

We're having steamboat today. Come and sit.

Don't be shy!

-Thanks. -Come on.

I'll carry it, Father!

Hey, I told you. I'm not your father.

-Dad! -Hey, who are you calling dad?

Goodness, don't be like that.

We're going to be a family.

-You're my father-in-law. -What?

Let's eat.

Enjoy the food, guys.

My dad is a great cook.

-Mr. Xiang is awesome. -Not at all.

He can build things and cook too.

-We'll dig in then. -Okay.

Don't be shy. Eat as much as you can.

Let's eat.

Dad, take a seat.

-You sit. -Okay.

Go on and eat.

-Wow, it smells great. -Actually, it took me five years

to plan and build this house from scratch.

-Five years? -Yes.

You've worked hard.

Dad...

I'd like to learn how to raise family from you, okay?

Here, Yue-qin. I peeled it for you.

-It's for you. -She doesn't want it. You can have it.

Eat up.

To be honest, I'm not an expert.

I'm just slightly better than an expert.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

It only took me three months to complete this house.

-Three months? -Yes.

You can build a house in three months?

-That's right. -No wonder it's crooked.

The reason I built this house is

to fulfill a promise I made to Yue-qin's deceased mother.

I promised to give Yue-qin a happy family.

So Yue-qin

was my biggest motivation to build it.

Dad, what a coincidence.

-She's my motivation too. -You stay out of this.

Don't call me your dad, okay?

All right, enough. Let's give a toast to my dad and my mom in heaven.

-Okay. -Sure.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Mom!

Cheers to you!

Ignore him.

This Hadron Collider machine

uses a super magnetic field

to increase the speed of charged particles to the speed of light

and then make them collide in order to study the basic properties of matter.

The particles used

are the size of one femtometer.

One femtometer

is one millionth of the more common denominator,

nanometer. It's very small.

Even the world's most high-tech microscope

will not be able to observe it.

If this experiment is successful,

we'll not only be able to know more about the material world,

but also understand

the evolution of our species from the past to the present.

Of course, there have been critics

who pointed out that the unknown particles created from this machine

might create a butterfly effect

and cause events such as earthquakes,

lightning or aviation disasters.

There are no concrete findings to back the assumptions,

but they're enough to show that this experiment has some serious risks.

Therefore, we're using this computer-generated model

to give you guys a better idea of the whole experiment.

Here is the most important part of the whole machine.

We have yet to push the button.

So God only knows

what will happen if we push it.

It's an earthquake.

You're right! It's getting stronger!
