[First Romance]

Look at this. This is great.

- Christmas and New Year. - Christmas party.

[Christmas and New Year]

- I really want to go. - I really want to go, too.

So many parties.

[Suhua University Notice: Regarding Safety during Christmas and New Year]

So, our school's Classical Music Club won the special gold prize

in the National University Competition yesterday.

This is the highest award our school has won in that competition until now.

Look, I look so handsome on TV.

- But the one who is the most handsome on TV is Yan Ke. - Go away.

Huahua, what do you say?

- What are you looking at that you're so into it? - Our exchange group with the Sitka School of Music returned yesterday.

This is the first joint event between our school and the Sitka School of Music.

For this event, our school sent an outstanding new student,

- My pretty woman. - Tang Tang, to represent the school.

She represented the school in the exchange group.

She previously won all the awards

in the duet piano competitions.

Wow, our faculty has someone like her!

Of course, those beautiful women are always saved for last.

I heard she and Yan Ke have studied under the same master. She's a musical genius, too.

Then that's a lot of pressure on me now.

I can't be too inferior if I'm going to date my pretty woman.

You really are overthinking too much.

Why are you salivating?

Huahua.

Do you know how to get to the piano room?

Yeah.

- Yes. - It's that building in front of us.

Thank you.

How come she knows my name?

That must be a Christmas gift for me.

For your club's celebration banquet,

is it really okay for me to go?

You're the one who helped us choose the repertoire. Everyone wants to thank you.

It's fine.

Really?

Okay.

Why is there such a hubbub at your club?

My pretty woman, the Sitka School of Music is my dream.

But at my level, I can't count on it.

How could that be? I saw the video of the competition yesterday.

Your viola playing was pretty good.

Really?

What about me? Did you watch how I played the violin?

Of course, I saw it too.

- Senior Sister, you're so pretty. You look so elegant. - What business is that of yours?

Senior Sister, can you come often?

That's right.

This...

Yan Ke.

Tang Tang?

I missed you.

It's her?

How come you came?

To give you a surprise.

Let's go.

How come you came back?

To give you a surprise.

You must be Xiong Yifan?

I am.

I heard it was you that was such a big help for the competition yesterday.

Come with us to the celebration banquet today.

Okay.

So you and Yan Ke are childhood friends?

Yan Ke and I have played piano together since we were little. We played duets together.

Yan Ke has helped me a lot.

Actually, when I was little, I cried a lot.

Every time I went on stage to perform,

Yan Ke would try many ways to calm me down beforehand.

I wouldn't have suspected that our school's handsome, cold guy had another side to his personality.

My pretty woman, will you be staying at our school from now on or will you still be going abroad?

That will depend on what Yan Ke is thinking.

But in the meantime, I'll come to the Classical Music Club and perform with all of you.

You're going to join the Classical Music Club?

Is that okay, President?

Of course!

Yes. Great.

So, Senior Sister, can you rehearse with us?

Of course, I can.

My pretty woman, what kind of guy do you like?

It's surely not your type.

- Do you like exercise? - You should get a membership card.

There's a discount.

- Do you like reading this book? - Sure.

That book is too hard to understand.

I'm sorry. I got your clothes dirty.

No need.

Just buy me a new one and that'll do.

Huh?

I... I...

Thank you for taking care of Yan Ke for me during this time.

But now that I am back,

you...

you can leave.

Why?

Have you watched idol dramas?

I am the super-beautiful lead female star

who comes back to take the prize.

You're just a walk-on part. There's no need to make trouble for yourself.

Walk-on part? Who has a walk-on part?

- I can send you home. Let's go. - Let me send you home.

- It's not safe to go with him. - Don't worry about them.

- Come with me. - It's true. It's quite late.

- How about me? - Xiao Xiong.

I can take you back to school. It's on my way.

Really? Okay.

Thank you, everyone.

Then just wait a minute...

Yan Ke, I seem to have sprained my ankle.

Can you take me back?

She even uses that kind of trick.

But I just agreed to...

But I really can't walk.

It's fine. You can take her back.

I can go back alone.

Then let's go.

Then...

See you tomorrow.

Be careful.

Hey... the pretty woman has left?

Yan Ke, thank you for accompanying me back today.

It's okay.

When I went to the U.S. this time, I found a great school that suits us.

Is that so?

I've looked into it thoroughly.

The teacher said that if we do a duet together for the interview,

- we could— - Tang Tang,

I don't think we should do any more duets together.

What do you mean?

I think that whatever performance or interview you want to do,

doing it solo will be the best way forward for you.

But we—

I'll just come this far with you.

I'm confident that you can walk the rest of the way on your own.

Yan Ke,

will you still help me?

Like when we were younger.

If you really need it.

Rest early.

Xiao Xiong?

Hi.

What's wrong? Are you unhappy today?

It's nothing.

Then, do you want to go for a ride?

What are you doing?

What could I possibly do?

I just wanted to invite Xiao Xiong for a ride.

It's too late. There is a curfew for the girls' dormitory.

Once she goes out, she won't be able to come back.

Fine, fine, fine. Then let's meet up another day.

Bye-bye.

Why are you dawdling about?

Leaving, leaving now.

He asked you this late for a ride? It's not right.

Dingding...

What's wrong?

His pretty woman killed her way back.

His pretty woman killed her way back.

What should I do? What should I do?

My older cousin is here.

You're not doing your job well at all,

and you still call yourself an old hand.

It seems like you are not very satisfied with my photos.

But I really can't figure out what kind of charms this Yan Ke has,

that makes you think about him for so long.

I've come to understand him a little myself.

He's nothing special.

Is your jealousy blocking you from seeing the reality clearly?

Who was the person who guaranteed at the beginning,

that within one month, you would get Xiong Yifan?

But in the end, I still have to handle this myself.

My cousin isn't that capable.

Cousin, if you are so awesome,

then why did you ask me to do it?

You're the one who's afraid to be found out.

Am I afraid, or are you?

Call yourself an old hand?

You still fell for that bitch's tricks.

How can that be? I can restrain myself, okay?

Don't worry. As long as I put more effort into it,

I'll get this done in a very short time.

Then I'll look forward to that one more time.

That time when we were seniors in high school,

that time when you stood me up...

I saw Tang Tang and Yan Ke go watch a movie together with my own eyes.

The two of them were laughing and talking. So intimate.

But that Tang Tang is so scary.

In front of others, she is two-faced.

She can change faces as fast as you turn the pages of a book.

She told me that I'm just

a walk-on part. And that I should hurry and get out of the way.

What?

She dares play the "Strange Tales from the Liaozhai Studio" in front of me, the millenium demon? (T/N: millenium demon is the strongest spirit in the ghost story, meaning her trick is nothing)

Just watch as I rip that demon mask off her.

Master, hurry and tell me how to tear it up right now.

Even if you lose, you still have to try your best.

Turn on your phone.

Turn on the phone.

And then?

Give it to me.

Is that one pretty?

Whoa. That's great.

What about this one?

No need for that one. It's too expensive.

If we don't do our best now, when would we?

Buy or not to buy?

Be brave!

It's...

You just paid?

It's fine. Twelve installments will pass by very quickly.

The painfully expensive equipment is actually effective.

Isn't that Tang Tang?

Wow. Her body proportions are simply awesome.

- No way. - Xiao Xiong.

The same outfit?

- Good morning. - Wow.

Wearing the same outfit isn't scary,

it's just awkward for the uglier one.

Time for class.

What are you doing?

- Let go of me. - No.

You won't hit me in front of so many people.

Let go of me.

Hey!

- Xiao Xiong? - You guys can go up first.

There's still room.

You guys go up first.

Hurry and get in. Quit dawdling.

[Introduction to Mao Zedong Thought and the Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics]

What's going on?

Guardians on the left and right.

Xiao Xiong,

so you also like this clothing brand?

It's a new style from overseas.

I can't believe that it's being sold in China so quickly.

Well, I don't know about that.

Because I didn't buy it in China.

What? Did you use a buying agent as well?

Someone sent them to my house for me to choose.

What? You used a buying agent?

Then, do you know that buying agents are illegal?

I haven't even finished paying my 12 months of installment on this.

Is it free of interest?

Xiao Xiong.

Muscles, what were you doing? So clumsy.

I want you to grab something for me.

Sorry, Xiao Xiong.

Come here.

Go change your clothes. I'll ask for a leave for you.

Hurry and go.

- I'm really sorry, Xiao Xiong. - It's okay.

I was just grabbing something.

No way. Where's my phone?

[Ballad of Buster Scruggs]

[Ballad of Buster Scruggs]

I'm so mad.

So angry.

I'm so mad.

Boss, this kind of venomous woman

just looks good on the surface.

After we see their true nature,

we men will never like that kind of woman.

That's right.

Here.

Such an important thing, don't lose it.

Or else, even if you want to return it, you can't.

Bye.

- Whose side are you on? - Did you see her true nature?

Boss, I was wrong. I'll poke myself in the eyes.

Don't get mad. Okay?

Boss, we should climb up from wherever we fall.

Now we know that Tang Tang can fight so well,

you should use your advantage.

What advantage?

What advantage?

What advantage?

Great.

Sorry.

Good shot.

You’re really our Boss Xiong.

Look at her.

Yan Ke!

- My pretty woman, are you tired? Drink some water. - Don’t drink his, drink mine.

No, thank you.

You came.

So pretty.

Are we still competing?

This still hasn’t ended. What are you doing?

Let’s go!

Yan Ke.

Yan Ke.

- Yan Ke. - Yan Ke.

Where did the ball hit?

- Yan Ke. - Yan Ke.

Miss. Missy.

Haven't you hurt him enough?

How did I hurt him?

Xiong Yifan, I’m telling you. This is between the two of us.

Even if you’re jealous of me, you can’t hurt Yan Ke.

Me? Jealous of you?

Yan Ke is sleeping. Be quiet.

No. I have to think of a way to give him the biscuits I made.

You won’t let me see Yan Ke?

Let’s see if you can stop me at this place!

[Men's Restroom]

Yan Ke. Yan Ke.

Why are you here?

I can only avoid Tang Tang if I do this.

This is the men's restroom. Go out.

I made cookies for you.

Take a bite.

Do you want me to eat it right now?

It’s not that good to eat in the restroom. You can eat it later.

There's actually someone eating cookies in the restroom?

Eating in the restroom is not sanitary!

I think he’s gone.

- Are you okay? - I'm much better now.

Th-This. Does it still hurt? I really didn't do it on purpose earlier.

It’s fine.

It's almost Christmas. Do you have any plans?

Christmas... I don't have any special plans.

- Are you going to the faculty's Christmas Party? - Are you going?

I'm going. We can go together.

Oh, you didn't eat this just now.

Hurry and try it. It's really good. It's fragrant and flaky.

I'll eat it later.

Don't eat it later. It won't taste good if it becomes soft. Trust me. Try this.

Actually... Now I don’t—

Xiong Yifan! What are you doing?

Do you not know that Yan Ke is allergic to peanuts?

Not only have you hurt him, you also want to kill him?

I-I really didn't know you had peanut allergies.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

The cookie smells so good. It’s probably the same as tasting it.

I'm sorry.

- Wasn't your reaction too dramatic? - But...

Allergies are my problem. I can deal with it myself.

Pretty girl, what plans do you and Xiao Xiong have for Christmas?

- We have plans together. - Plans?

Faculty's party?

Thanks!

Hey! Did you make plans with Yan Ke yet?

Did you make plans with him or not?

I asked him, but I don't know if he's actually coming or not.

Then you have to confirm it quickly. We already agreed to bring our own date.

If you can’t, then find a substitute. If not, you’ll have to pay for the dinner.

Right. Who are you going with?

Xiaosong.

I’m finished. I don’t even have a substitute.

Forget it, forget it. I won't go, too embarrassing.

[My handsome man: See you tonight.]

What?

I’ve seen it. Okay, you don’t have to pay.

Your school has so many pretty girls.

I knew you didn’t have good intentions when you agreed to come with me.

Usually he sleeps with me, or you prefer to sleep by yourself?

Younger Sister, are you from the Sports Department, too?

Let’s go. Stop embarrassing yourself here.

My hair, my hair.

Hey, Xiao Xiong! It’s Christmas.

Who’s your partner this time?

I heard that it is Yan Ke.

Yan Ke? Really?

Yan Ke?

I'm going to go to the door to take a look.

Don't panic. I'll come right now.

Yan Ke.

When did you get here? Let's go inside.

Xiao Xiong.

Sorry, I—

It's fine.

Go. Go, go.

It's really fine.

Bye.

Why didn't Yan Ke come? [If you have a time machine, where do you want to go with whom?]

I heard that today is Tang Tang’s Christmas recital.

Aren’t both of them performing a piano duet? Why would Yan Ke come here?

Xiao Xiong, you’ll have to foot the bill.

- Foot the bill. - Who says Xiao Xiong would have to foot the bill?

- Senior Bai. - Senior Bai, why did you come?

How about this? Tonight, I'll pay. All right?

Everyone! I'm footing the bill tonight.

Great! Thank you then!

Senior Bai, why are you free today to attend our freshmen's gathering?

Of course, it’s because of Xiao Xiong!

Are you very close to Xiao Xiong?

Xiao Xiong and I still have somewhere to go, so we'll be leaving now.

You guys have fun. Let's go.

- Where are we going? - To a place where there are only two of us.

Thank you, Senior Bai.

I’m telling you. We can go to the city center.

There is a giant Christmas tree that is 18 meters tall, super beautiful.

You will definitely like it.

There’s also the food street. They sell squid,

fried chicken, and fried bread sticks.

Right? What’s wrong?

Today, thank you so much for getting me out of an embarrassing situation,

but I'm not really feeling well.

How about another day? I will personally thank you another day, all right?

I'll be leaving now.

Besides Yan Ke, can there really be no one else?

Yan Ke, thank you for saving the recital for me.

- If not, I don’t know what— - It’s fine.

My parents brought you souvenirs from abroad.

They’re the chocolates you liked to eat when you were young. Do you want to go up and get them?

You can keep them. Help me to thank your parents.

Okay.

Then, I’ll...

What’s wrong?

- My eye is hurting a little. - I’ll have a look.

It’s done.

Thank you.

Then... you’re really not going up for a while?

I really have something to do, so I must leave now.

Yan Ke.

Then, next time...

Although I did say that I would help you, at the end, you will have to go on the stage alone.

Xiao Xiong!

Hi.

Sit.

Drink.

You aren't drunk, right?

- Enough, enough, don't drink anymore. Give it to me. - Why are you stealing my drink?

Men are jerks. None of you are good.

- Yes. - Jerks.

Yes. Okay, stop drinking. Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Stop drinking. I’ll take you back to school.

- You still want to drink? - I haven’t finished drinking. Don’t touch me.

What are you doing?

- Okay, stop drinking. Let’s go. - I haven’t finished drinking.

- I haven’t finished eating. - Walk slower.

I haven’t finished drinking.

- I haven’t finished eating. - All right.

Are you waiting for Xiao Xiong? You don’t have to wait anymore.

I saw Xiao Xiong and Bai Yuze going home just now.

Impossible!

How is that impossible?

You are her friend, so you should know

what kind of person she is better than me, silly girl.

I'm warning you, stop saying nonsense!

Excuse me. What happened to those people who were here for the gathering?

They left.

- Do you know where they went? - I'm not sure about that.

Thank you.

Hello.

Ding Ming?

What?

It’s so hot.

You can’t simply say things like this.

Luckily the person you met was me.

Xiao Xiong. What's wrong?

Can you get up?

Ding Ming.

Thanks.

Bring her outside first.

Are you crazy?

Let me tell you. Stay away from Xiong Yifan.

Do you think your warning is useful?

What right do you have to reprimand me? The person hurting Xiong Yifan is you!

You think I don’t know what kind of person you are?

You used this kind of rotten move to take advantage of Xiao Xiong!

I didn't!

Whether you believe it or not is up to you.

I will keep an eye on you.

Are you doing a close-up or a full-body shot?

Can you get my full-body with that?

I am wearing the high heels I just bought.

Pay attention to the angle. Capture this side.

Evil female supporting role?

Let me tell you. In my own script, I

am Yan Ke's childhood sweetheart and perfect match, the female leading role.

Do you mean that useless person

who's always surrounded by handsome guys every day?

She's just pretending to be an innocent bitch!

Don’t you think so?

Take a prettier photo. This side.
