Met you by Gong Wuyue

♫ The moment you pass by my side ♫

♫ Smiling ♫

♫ You entered my heart ♫

♫ How happy the two of us are under the clear sky ♫

♫ The promise we once made ♫

♫ Is like a love song echoing in the bottom of the heart ♫

♫ Laughter replaces silence ♫

♫ Like dazzling fireworks ♫

♫ Meeting you like this, getting closer unintentionally ♫

♫ The silence melts away because I can't help it ♫

♫ It's like I feel a connection with you ♫

♫ But I'm unwilling to trust it easily ♫

♫ Meeting you like this has filled me with surprises ♫

♫ So deep in my memory is our mutual connection ♫

♫ In my life, ♫

♫ I have been able to meet you ♫

[Meeting You]

[Thoughtfulness — Work hard to improve]

♫ I, amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, ♫

♫ Cross through the heavy traffic ♫

♫ Against the flow of the crowd ♫

♫ I have no desire to be understood by anyone ♫

♫ I know in my eyes ♫

♫ A different sky is behind me ♫

♫ I will live as me ♫

♫ While passing through this life, ♫

♫ Who would ever want to live an ordinary life? ♫

♫ I will live as me ♫

♫ I will control the fate that destiny gave me ♫

♫ This world is like a vortex ♫

♫ Mediocrity is swallowed up into nothing ♫

♫ Only I am in the darkness ♫

♫ Hold onto me tightly ♫

♫ Hands are clenching ♫

[Episode 15] [Xia Rui, I Like You]

Chinese, 135 points.

Mathematics, 142 points.

Wow! 142.

English, 137 points.

- Wow! 137, so high! - Science, 283 points.

283?

Total score, 697 points.

That is almost 700 points!

Godly Nan, you are so, so, so awesome!

I've already started foreseeing how the two of us conquer Binhai University.

Nan Xi, you are extraordinarily great.

Brother Rui, you're the only one who hasn't checked yet. Come on.

Check it out.

The earlier you check, the faster you will be at ease.

That's right! Also, this year's paper was easy.

You will definitely be fine.

Even Cheng Erluo scored 420 points.

You will definitely score more than 450.

What do you mean by "even Cheng Erluo scored 420"?

I also put in a lot of effort in studying, okay?

However, Brother Rui has always been working harder than me,

which is why Brother Rui getting 450 points

shouldn't be a problem at all!

That's right.

Well then, I will call now.

Here we go, here we go.

It's connected.

Thank you for calling the College Entrance Examination hotline.

Please enter your exam number, ending with the key.

Chinese, 87 points.

87... 87...

Decent, decent.

This year's Chinese questions were indeed a little gross.

Mathematics, 90 points.

That's very good! Math was so difficult this year.

It's already great that you were able to pass, really!

- 90... - There are more, there are more.

English, 105 points.

Yes! Counter attack!

You're steady now!

- One more, one more. - Science, 167 points.

167 should be enough.

Total score, 449 points.

Binhai Education University.

For the past two years,

Binhai's admission scores have always been around 450-460 points.

But you're only one point short!

Perhaps this year's score requirement might be lower.

But...

But Binhai Education University has never been lower than 450, has it?

Nan Xi?

Nan Xi.

What are you doing?

Not even I've cried. Why are you crying?

It's okay.

It's okay.

Wherever you study, I will go with you.

Sorry, Nan Xi.

I... I didn't do well this time.

I know each of your efforts and all of your persistence

even more than you do.

Don't apologize.

There are no apologies between the two of us.

But...

I already promised my mother.

She said that if I can't get in this time,

she'll send me abroad. What do I do?

I'm afraid of what will happen if the two of us separate.

Xia Rui.

Do you trust me?

In order to let us be together,

work hard once more.

Okay?

But... what do I need to do?

I know. I already know all of the situations you're talking about.

But won't you stop emphasizing these excuses?

Stop throwing the blame at other people, okay?

I— Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Rui.

Digest the information that the intermediary teacher introduced to you just now.

It's okay to enroll in school half a year later.

In these next couple days, let's take a look at these schools' circumstances

and then pick two suitable schools.

Hey, Eimin.

What I meant was, think about yourself first, no matter what it is.

If you can't do the performance report, is that also someone else's fault?

Does it not have anything to do with you?

Fine, fine, fine, okay.

It's good as long as you understand.

Okay, okay, okay.

I want to see the report on Monday, okay?

Okay, okay. Bye.

Have you finished reading it?

I think you should forget about Binhai University.

I know you've already done your best.

Fortunately, your English score is decent.

Applying for overseas universities shouldn't be a problem.

Take advantage of this summer holiday

to rush into improving your speaking skills.

If this really can't work, we'll send you abroad to study the language.

- Mom. - Yes, what is it?

I...

I don't want to go abroad right now.

- Why are you— - No, I-I-I am willing to go abroad.

But not now.

I have my own reasons.

Trust me.

Rui, is there something,

some circumstances you're hiding from me?

Three days.

Just give me three days time.

I will definitely tell you the answer, okay?

Who's that?

It's me.

Xia Rui.

Nan Xi...

He's reading there.

Nan Xi.

Nan Xi.

How was it?

What did your mom say?

She doesn't agree?

She accepted it!

Our plan succeeded!

Are... you angry?

I'm not.

You look very good when you smile.

Like flowers in spring.

See? You look so great when you smile.

Smile more in the future, okay?

Where is it?

This is for you. Have a look.

Can our plan succeed?

- I don't know. - You don't know?

We're doomed then, since you're so unconfident.

Well, it's your mom, after all.

You're nervous about meeting my mom?

Just a little.

I've never seen you

admit your weaknesses so quickly.

Isn't this good?

Good, very good.

Who was the one who said it was bad to be simple-minded?

Simple-minded?

Explain this to me. I can't comprehend.

Okay.

Look at this.

I see, it's like this.

How is it?

Isn't it very clear?

And it's very simple.

What's wrong?

Haven't you comprehended it?

Then, why are you nodding?

Looks like I have to make some more changes.

Change... change... change what?

According to genealogy, a child's IQ is mostly inherited from the mother.

Since you can't comprehend it, I'm afraid your mom also won't be able to comprehend it.

Looks like your guts are inflated right now!

In the past, it was fine for you to say I was stupid,

but now you dare to blatantly add my mother in?

Admitting your own idiocy is also an improvement.

You're becoming bolder and bolder now that I've mentioned it!

You are too thin-skinned. It should be a little thicker.

Nan Xi, you've had too many lines today.

Now, I order you to be muted!

I never expected there would come a day where I would order you to shut up.

Times really change.

But this plan looks so difficult.

Is three days enough?

If not, I will ask my mom again, and beg... beg for another two days?

Are you playing with sound waves with me?

You're so into the act. Are you planning to enter the acting department?

This is too difficult for me.

Fine.

I'll forgive you this once.

Fine. No more joking around.

Let me talk to you about this problem.

First of all, it is...

What are you laughing at? Be a little more serious.

This is the analysis of your situation.

This is the university's screening test.

These are the universities you can get into.

And this is the score.

Come, come, put on the glasses.

Pretty.

Pretty.

Ruirui, go sit in the living room with Nan Xi for a while first.

I will bring you some drinks.

Okay.

Is the child, Nan Xi, here?

Yes.

I don't know what trouble these two kids are up to.

Xia Rui must be hiding something from me.

I haven't even seen a shadow of her for three days.

I don't know what she's busy with.

Relax completely! Those two have been together all this time.

I often speak to Nan Xi's nanny.

They have been together every day for these few days?

Not just these few days.

Our Ruirui's college entrance exam studying

relied completely on this Nan Xi kid's tutoring.

You don't even know where our Ruirui's blessings came from

to have been able to meet such a good little boyfriend!

Mom, what are you talking about?

They're both children. What do you mean by "little boyfriend"?

Grandma, grandma, grandma!

Is my brother-in-law wearing a suit to propose to my sister?

Chen Hao.

I need to control how much time you're spending watching TV!

What's going on in that little brain of yours?

What brother in law, brother-in-law?

Stop talking about it.

Your mother is not happy.

Xia Rui, tell me honestly.

Does what you want to tell me have something to do with Nan Xi?

Mom. Everything we will be saying next

was prepared by and decided by both me and Nan Xi.

Decided?

What have you two decided?

Auntie, I know that you are not satisfied with Xia Rui's score.

That is why you intend to send her abroad.

Correct. Do you have any problems with this?

I do not agree.

What?

Mom. What Nan Xi meant

was that he also had a plan for my future life and he wants to tell you about it

to see if you'd allow it.

Nan Xi... has a plan... for your future life?

Please listen to it first.

Auntie, although we are still young,

I am very, very serious about

this matter regarding Xia Rui.

Xia Rui and I have known each other since childhood.

Although we had been separated for many years,

but even after meeting again, we still trust each other.

And in the two years of our high school lives,

we interacted day and night,

and I dare say I know her no less than anyone else.

Auntie, although we are still young and have yet to experience social life,

please trust me.

- The rest of Xia Rui's life— - Okay, okay. Stop talking.

Stop talking.

Don't say anything like you will be responsible for the rest of her life.

These are all lines from TV series.

They are just words said to deceive children like Chen Hao.

Stop, stop, stop. I-I-I really can't even listen half a sentence longer.

Correct. Both of you are adults now. But you're only eighteen years old.

Eighteen years old! Eighteen years old, but you're here to discuss marriage with me. Aren't you too anxious?

Auntie—

Nan Xi, how about this?

Let's swap positions to think.

If you were a parent,

would you entrust your daughter to a child who just graduated from high school?

- No, Aunt... - You won't understand.

You children don't even know how parents think.

Why am I encountering such a thing?

My daughter is only eighteen!

She has not reached the legal age for marriage. You—

Mom. Speak after looking at this.

Proposal?

You are quite creative.

Are you taking this as a business?

Am I selling my daughter?

Fine. Let me have a look.

Let me see what have you written.

But let me tell you.

No matter what the plan is, I will not agree.

[Xia Rui's Career Growth Plan]

Xia Rui's Career Growth Plan?

Seeing Godly Nan's full face of confidence,

I really wanted to stay and see what they were saying.

If needed, we could've helped, isn't that right?

It's best if you don't help.

During a time like this, you'd only be doing the opposite of helping.

Young Beautiful Shu, is my position in your heart that bad?

No. It's because Nan Xi has planned everything already.

If you helped at this time, it would only be the opposite.

What you said seems to make sense.

Then... I'll believe you for the time being.

Then, thank you for believing in me.

Young Beautiful Shu, but you didn't stay to listen

to what kind of plan Brother Rui said Godly Nan had?

It seems like Nan Xi helped Brother Rui find a school.

Not only will it allow Brother Rui to study at Binhai University,

it will also allow her to make use of her specialties.

Is there really such a great school?

Why didn't I know about it?

That's because Nan Xi's using his heart.

The school is not necessarily the best,

but it's definitely the most suitable for Brother Rui.

Once Godly Nan takes action, he knows best.

I hope they can succeed.

They will definitely succeed.

The four of us will create our legendary story together in Binhai.

Young Beautiful Shu, wait for me.

Auntie, this is Xia Rui's career growth proposal that we made together.

Have a look here.

First of all, which university should she attend?

A local university or an overseas university?

- Correct? - Correct.

I know Xia Rui has tried her best on this college entrance examination,

but since it's a borderline score, staying in the country to learn is not the best choice.

Thus, I want her to leave the country and earn better learning resources.

But what if we can find a school that suits Xia Rui and satisfies you?

Have a look.

These are the Chinese universities we screened based on test scores.

The most suitable one of them is this one.

This is Binhai Business School's hotel management major.

Binhai Business School Hotel Management?

Mom. There is more information on Binhai Business School on the back of our proposal.

Their school is one of the top management schools in Binhai city.

Also, their employment rate and employment direction are in top three.

[Binhai Business School]

You collected all of these?

No. Nan Xi and I did it together.

Even if Binhai Business School really is suitable for her,

it doesn't mean that she will successfully get into it.

If this school is really as good as you say,

then with Xia Rui's score, the chances of them accepting her are very low.

Last year's admission requirement was 435 points.

And her score was 449.

According to the province's statistical conversion,

it is equivalent to last year's 440 points, and she will be able to get in.

Moreover, the fluctuation of scores is not more than ten points.

Mom, just think of it this way.

If I study abroad, let's not even mention whether I can graduate smoothly,

there are also many potential hidden drawbacks and dangers.

But if I can go to Binhai Business School, it is very close to home.

If you don't trust me, wouldn't it be very convenient for you to supervise me?

Also, Binhai Business School is located in University Town which is close to Binhai University.

It'd also be convenient for me to go to class.

And also, Binhai Business School has an internet-famous coffee shop that is well-known around the country.

If I can work there, it'll be very helpful for my career growth.

It's merely a coffee shop. Could it really help to solve your employment problem?

Behind your paper is the information of the barista activities in the coffee shop.

They will regularly participate in the National Barista Competitions.

All the judges are famous baristas from across the country.

If I am lucky enough to work with them,

this means that even during my time in university,

I can obtain useful information and connections.

Mom.

It's not that I don't want to go abroad.

It's just that I don't want to go abroad just to escape examination failure.

If that's the case, I will always be an escaping failure.

I'd prefer to learn and accumulate experiences here

to give me even a little boost of confidence.

This way, if there are more opportunities to go abroad,

I'll be able to grab them and learn better.

- Grandpa. - Yes?

Is this still my sister?

But why can't I understand anything she said?

I can't either.

Is Nan Xi here to propose marriage or not?

I think there is a bit of such intention.

So, should we monitor them?

Strike while the iron is hot. Let's confirm this.

Yes, yes, yes. Strike while the iron is hot.

What is my mom doing there?

No sense of crisis at all.

Once this opportunity is missed,

I don't know how long my sister will have to wait to meet another person who is interested in her.

Actually, your mom and Nan Xi aren't familiar with each other.

I'll have a proper talk with your mom later.

I think Nan Xi is not a bad kid. Pretty good, right?

Grandpa, I support you. Tonight, I'll talk to mom.

This time, I've really made up my mind.

I want to do something I like and am good at.

As you know, I wasn't good at anything when growing up.

It was Boss Yi who helped me discover my love for coffee

and my talent in coffee-making.

Auntie, Xia Rui's is serious about becoming a barista.

I'm being serious.

I've placed an order and bought a lot of management books.

And I also used my allowance money to apply for a management-related training course.

If you don't allow me to attend the course, the money will go to waste.

How were you able to keep the allowance money for so long?

I... got Grandpa to give me next New Year's money in advance.

Dad, why are you fooling around with the kids?

Actually, I think, what's the difference in giving it sooner or later? I'd still have to give it.

It's the same as you business people.

Don't you often go the the bank to take out loans?

Let's go. You guys continue talking. We're leaving.

Mom. I'm already an adult, I'm already eighteen years old.

I can take responsibility for my own life.

As for what kind of road I will take and how far I'll go,

I want to try it myself.

Ruirui. You see, you created such a huge display today,

wore a suit to act like an adult,

and created some kind of career growth plan,

but did you do it alone?

Wasn't it Nan Xi who did a lot of the big work?

You should be responsible for your own life.

Can you do it alone?

She's not alone.

She isn't now,

and she won't be in the future, either.

Xia Rui and I will be responsible for her future together.

Nan Xi, you aren't children playing house.

I know you and Xia Rui are very good friends,

but Xia Rui can't rely on you for the rest of her life.

There's also no way you will be staying by her side for the rest of your life.

- That's why— - We will definitely always be together.

I will not lose Xia Rui again.

Please do not send her abroad.

Also, Xia Rui is not relying on me.

We rely on each other.

If not for Xia Rui, it's possible my life in high school would've been unbearable.

University wouldn't even be in the question.

We have always relied on one another.

We will always be together in the future.

Mom.

Just believe in me for once.

Old Yi really just left without saying goodbye?

Xia Rui.

Departure isn't the end.

It's a new beginning.

Also, I left a parting gift for you.

You can consider it a gift of thanks after working with me for three years.

Fate allowed us to meet.

If we are destined to, we will meet again.

Brother Rui, what exactly did Old Yi leave for you?

Just these?

What do you mean by "just these"?

Bourbons, Roplanes, Gesha, put together. They are very expensive, okay?

As long as you are happy with it.

Hey.

Brother Rui, when I was writing down my aspirations earlier, I asked Old Hu.

He told me

Old Yi ended his career, because he was courting Coach Yang.

Old Yi and Coach Yang?

Are they together now?

Not yet.

Coach Yang is transferring to another province.

Old Yi is traveling a thousand miles in pursuit of love. He didn't utter a single word.

He just packed up and followed.

Looks like there will be another Bird Tea Coffee Shop there.

I will be waiting to drink their celebratory wine.

I really never thought that we finally wouldn't have to say goodbye to Brother Rui,

yet we have to say goodbye to this place now.

But... I actually feel a little reluctant.

It's done.

After finishing this coffee, we need to start working.

Here's yours. Go clean up the back.

Sure.

Here's yours. Let's go there and clean up.

Okay.

"I must pass every exam".

What a simple high school wish.

I hope Cheng Erluo's training goes well.

This is Young Beautiful Shu's handwriting.

♫ The teacher's chalk ♫

Cheng Erluo, you have to get the MVP!

Please do not get hurt.

You need to win the high school basketball league championship!

How come Young Beautiful Shu's wishes

were all about me?

♫ The sound of the school's release bell is always so wonderful ♫

Turns out she cares about me so much.

♫ The story will be the same tomorrow ♫

Cheng Erluo, come and help!

- Okay! - Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Wow, this is so heavy.

Come take this.

Let me do it.

♫ No need to use language, we still feel the warmth ♫

♫ Waiting for the next holiday ♫

♫ Waiting for the next trip ♫

♫ Waiting for the next crossroad where I will present you a letter ♫

Come here, Young Beautiful Shu.

Let's clean this place.

♫ The summer after graduation ♫

♫ Inside the tree hole next to the sports field ♫

Don't, don't, don't.

♫ You are the most beautiful scenery of my memory ♫

Do you need help on your side?

Okay, I'll help you.

Just tear off the paper like this.

[Xia Rui, I like you]

♫ Cicadas sleep on the desks ♫

What happened?

It's nothing.

Just tear it like this. No need to care.

I'll come and help.

I'll go help them. Just tear them like this.

Go ahead.

♫ No need to use language, we still feel the warmth ♫

♫ Waiting for the next holiday ♫

♫ Waiting for the next trip ♫

♫ Waiting for the next crossroad where I will present you a letter ♫

Fool,

I didn't say today's words just to comfort your mother.

I was afraid that your mom wouldn't agree to let you stay and got so anxious in the moment.

So I said the truth from the bottom of my heart.

♫ Store the memories I have of you ♫

I want to be with you forever

Not as a good friend.

But the type of company that allows me to hold your hand until we grow old.
