[First Romance]

[Episode 19]

Sorry, I only have this pair at home.

It’s fine.

Thanks.

I’ll help you.

Is this real?

Yan Ke confessed his feelings to me.

Now he’s even helping me to blow dry my hair.

Tonight, I’m even going to stay at his house.

It’s done.

Thank you.

Then... Tonight...

Tonight...

I’ll sleep on the couch, you can sleep on the bed.

Huh?

Go.

Goodnight.

That’s... it?

Where’s my phone?

If I leave it there, will it disturb Yan Ke?

Yan Ke.

Yan... Ke?

He’s already asleep.

What are you doing?

You haven’t slept?

You also haven’t slept?

I-I... couldn’t fall asleep.

Now you can sleep, right?

Now... it’s even harder for me to sleep.

What is it?

Nothing.

I feel like I'm dreaming.

Can you...

help me to film a video of your confession? I’m afraid this dream will be shattered soon.

Confession video?

- It's not necessary, right? - Yes, it is.

It really isn't necessary.

Then, can I ask you a question?

What do you like about me?

Then let me ask you first.

What do you like about me?

- I like that you’re handsome. - That’s it?

No, you’re not handsome.

No, I’m saying that you’re handsome, gentle, and thoughtful.

Also, you’re particularly handsome when you play the piano, just like an angel.

Did I say something stupid?

Anyway, you’re good at everything.

Let's just watch the movie.

What is it?

You’re acting like a thief.

No, I need to do a little mental preparation.

Why don’t we keep our relationship a secret first?

So early, Yan Ke?

Xiao Xiong. You guys...

Morning.

Wait. You guys stayed out all night?

No, no. We ran into each other on the street. Right?

Seeing your guilty expression, I definitely don’t believe that.

What’s going on, Yan Ke? Tell me.

- Both of you are together, right? - We’re not together! Definitely not!

Class Monitor Xiong, tell me.

Class Monitor Xiong, I won’t tell anyone else.

Class Monitor Xiong!

What? You and Yan Ke got together? What—

Do you want the whole school to know?

Not easy.

It hasn’t been easy for Yan Ke.

How did he become the one who hasn’t had it easy?

It was so hard for me to pursue after this handsome guy, why is he the one with a hard time now?

You forced a cold handsome guy to confess to you first.

Look at how slow you are.

I'm still in a muddle.

But why didn’t he answer me yesterday when I asked him why he liked me?

Could you be more romantic?

You can’t ask him such a question right away! How do you expect him to answer?

Is that so?

Fair enough.

But you have to help me keep this a secret first.

If other people find out, they’ll make trouble again.

Why are you scared of them?

What’s there to be scared of? Let them talk.

But you're right. To prevent the slandering post last time from happening again,

- we'd better be careful. - Let's go.

- Tell me the details. - What?

How did you guys get together?

Class is about to start. What are you doing?

Counsellor Tang wants to meet us after class.

What’s the matter?

What are you doing?

Class has started. People will find out later.

Stop moving or else they really will find out.

You stop, too.

Our school anniversary celebration is a great opportunity to showcase our faculty spirit.

As the persons-in-charge of this event,

you should uphold our good faculty traditions

and pass on our faculty culture.

You should make sure the school celebration is a success.

And you should contribute to the cultural progress of all the teachers and students.

Student Xiong Yifan, are you paying attention to what the teacher is saying?

Important! The school celebration is very important. Very important.

Look at you. You're not paying attention.

What happened? Are you dating?

No, I'm not dating! No.

Student Yan, looking at her like that,

- is she dating? - No, no.

Seems like it.

So I guessed right.

Teacher Tan, you are looking for me?

Right.

For the school celebration,

our faculty performance must be the grand finale.

After thorough consideration, I think I will pass this important task to Student Tang Tang,

for you to show all the teachers and students

the charm of classical music.

Do you have confidence?

Teacher Tang, I...

I will try my best.

Good.

With you three, I can relax.

Hey, what did I say?

Our classical music club will become

the school's most awesome club one day.

This celebration is an opportunity!

With us being on stage with a pretty girl,

other clubs will envy us to death!

Just keep practicing your viola.

With your skills, don't hold us back.

Do I need you to remind me?

For my pretty girl, I will practice day and night.

My pretty girl, when do you think you'll have time to practice together?

What about tonight?

Sorry, I've been pretty busy recently.

Then, what about practicing?

I might not be able to practice with everyone.

What about this? We practice by ourselves.

When it's time for the competition, we will rehearse together.

But the school celebration is very important.

I said I really don't have time.

Sorry. I'll be leaving.

What happened?

Is she not satisfied with our classical music club?

Is my pretty girl not happy?

This isn't good, Yan Ke. Can you convince her?

Just keep practicing, everyone.

Let's go and practice.

Please,

think about us single people.

We need to be protected, too.

Xiao Xiong.

It's time to practice. What are you doing?

- Are you tired? - I'm not tired.

Yan Ke, you came so early.

What's wrong, Yan Ke?

It's nothing.

Where is Tang Tang? Why isn't she here?

She isn't here.

Tell her to hurry up. It's almost our turn!

My pretty girl is here.

Tang Tang is so classic today.

Cheer up, everyone! You should perform with passion

- in front of our judges. Okay? - Okay!

- Do you have confidence? - Yes.

- Do you have confidence? - Yes!

Are you okay?

Of course, I'm fine.

The next program is from our Faculty of Arts and Sports.

Wh-Wh-What's wrong? She looks out of it.

That...

You can't play like that. You can't play alone on stage.

Sorry. If you cannot overcome stage fright,

- you cannot attend our school. - How can someone like her play on the stage?

I'm sorry.

Maybe she's not feeling well.

This kid...

What's wrong with my pretty girl?

We screwed it up.

I regret having to say this,

but our program has been canceled.

But we're the Faculty of Arts and Sports.

- It doesn't make sense if we don't perform on stage. - Right!

Teacher, can the school give us another chance?

We didn't even finish our performance.

How can we pass?

I will talk with the school.

You guys go back and rest. You've been working hard recently.

Anyway, our faculty is

looked down on by others in this university.

Why are you saying that?

Go back.

Yan Ke,

what's wrong with Tang Tang?

Do you know something?

She definitely has her difficulties.

That's fine. I think the most important thing right now is not to let everyone lose their confidence because of this.

This school celebration is very important.

Our faculty must attend.

What are you thinking to do?

I do have an idea but you have to follow along.

Wasn't our program canceled?

Why are you calling us here?

Yeah.

I'm not from your club.

Why are you calling us here for?

Everyone.

Xiao Xiong asked us to come

to announce something important.

What other important news is there?

Look! Look!

Everyone sitting here are

the best representatives of our Faculty of Arts and Sports.

I know that you all know

our faculty failed in the preselection of the school celebration.

But we are the Faculty of Arts and Sports.

If we can't even perform on the stage for the school celebration,

then it's embarrassing!

Yeah, it's too embarrassing!

Right? That's why

we should get ourselves together

and fight for the school celebration one more time!

Nice try. Fight for what?

That's right. We've already been disqualified.

So, what if we got disqualified? So, what if we got disqualified once?

If we unite ourselves and work hard together, is there anything we can't do?

Shout our slogan!

Faculty of Arts and Sports,

always fighting! We will be the leaders

for generations!

Listen to their shouts.

Listen to our slogan! How resounding they are!

That's why I'm saying, how could one failure prove anything?

We'll keep fighting even if we are defeated.

Bravely go against the rapids. We'll never give up

and make our way upstream!

Faculty of Arts and Sports, always fighting!

We will be the leaders for generations!

- Come on! - We'll keep on fighting, go bravely against the rapids.

We'll never give up, and make our way upstream!

Great!

Stop.

If we rehearse without the school's approval,

there'll be no funding.

Wow.

Wow.

Is that the best question you can ask?

We're from the Faculty of Arts and Sports.

We should use our advantage!

What do you want us to do?

Do what?

Busking!

- Is our slogan resounding? - What're you talking about? Come, bottoms up!

Here we go. Bottoms up.

Su Jie,

I know you’re not part of our club.

But I sincerely hope that you can help us

with the busking.

I definitely won't let you guys surpass our rock and roll club.

Also, even more, I can't stand to let you stand in the limelight all alone.

- See you onstage. - See you onstage.

Such a big talker!

- I hit you. - Qi Xiaosong!

- You should drink one. - Drink one.

- Drink one. - How many did you drink?

Xue Lin!

What do you want? You don't need to make me leave. I can leave on my own.

Who wants to make you leave?

Where are you going? Aren't you from the Faculty of Arts and Sports?

Okay. I don't like you.

But you really are the best rhythmic gymnast from our Faculty of Arts and Sports.

If you help us with the busking, we could earn more.

Busking? What do you mean?

Just say yes or no.

Boss, our Blue Dragon Clan must

be together forever.

- Okay? - Sure.

Enough. Okay, okay!

Exactly, how much did you drink tonight?

You're so heavy.

Boss, we are leaving first.

- Go. - Okay.

- We're leaving. Okay. - Slowly.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

- Let me know when you get back. - Okay!

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

What are you laughing about?

I was thinking

where did you learn all that back there?

Don't forget, I used to be Boss Xiong.

Wasn't that exciting just now?

It's too quiet.

Let's bring some momentum.

Blue Dragon! Blue Dragon! We'll be the leaders

for generations!

Xiong Yifan.

What are you doing?

Teacher, I was helping our classmates study, trying to lift them up.

Quieter. Don't disrupt the others.

Yes, Teacher.

Blue Dragon Study Group?

You guys have seen too many gangster movies.

We all have our Chuunibyou syndrome. (T/N: "eighth grader disorder" refers to teenage self-important fantasies, or adults that haven't grown out of it.)

Even though it's a little silly, it was my old golden days.

But I think you and Qi Xiaosong are still in your eighth grade.

Then so be it.

How is it?

As the man of the Blue Dragon Clan, do you feel happy about that?

I'm honored.

Brother, so generous.

Great. Chuunibyou is still an illness. If you are sick, you need a doctor.

What did you say?

You are now watching the performance from our Faculty of Arts and Sports. You must scan the barcode to watch it.

It's super hot, amazing, and awesome!

If you have music in your heart, everywhere is a stage.

♪ Hey Mr. DJ ♪

- Scan the code! - Scan and watch!

Thank you! Thank you!

- Please scan the code to watch our performance! - You are so cute.

- Thank you! - Bear, let's take a picture together.

You're so cute.

Thank you for watching our performance.

- This is for you. - Thank you.

Hi!

Thank you.

Tang Tang!

Tang Tang!

Tang Tang, wait!

Wait for me.

Actually, you don't have to blame yourself.

No one is blaming you about what happened last time.

I don't think making one mistake means anything.

As long as we work hard together, we can definitely get it done.

How is it that easy?

Did Yan Ke not tell you? I have stage phobia.

This is not just one mistake.

I can't do it at all.

Stage phobia?

What is this?

"Stage phobia...

is a frequently seen phobia.

The way to cure it is to relax

and try to be around other people by yourself as much as possible.

Frequently practice being in front of others."

Yan Ke?

Yan Ke.

Yan Ke, are you here?

Yan Ke?

Yan Ke, are you here?

Why is it you?

Why can't it be me?

Why are you looking for me?

What do I have to say to you?

Yan Ke can look for you, but I can't. Are you scared?

Xiong Yifan, is there a problem with your brain?

Are you not clear about what kind of relationship you and I have?

I think you're the one with a problem.

I don't think you actually like Yan Ke.

To you, Yan Ke is like a life jacket.

Without him, you can't go on stage.

What do you know?

Yan Ke and I are childhood sweethearts. You're just a background character.

What right do you have to say anything about me?

Childhood sweethearts? Perfect couple?

I don't think you can even go onstage, but you still flaunt yourself around everywhere.

If you can, go up onstage. If you go up on stage, I'll believe what you say.

What did you say?

Was I not clear?

Are you trying to goad me by ridiculing me?

Oh no.

Did you...

see through it?

You want to trick me with such rotten acting skills?

I advise you to not waste your time.

I can't even help myself with this.

Then you'll just give up like this? Your music, your dream, and your piano.

You're going to give up after persisting for so long?

How can that be?

- But what can I do if I can't do anything about it? - Who said you can't?

You're nervous because you care about the audience. What if it was me?

Don't you hate me a lot?

What are you scared of in front of the person you hate?

I think that does make a bit of sense.

Yeah.

Tang Tang, let's try again.

That's right, my pretty girl. Don't worry about success or failure.

You have us.

Actually, I'm afraid to go on stage, too.

How about I share with you my secret Buddhist chants?

Tang Tang, try once more.

Try once more.

Cousin, are you sure you'll be okay tomorrow?

I have to get on even if I can't.

I can't let Xiong Yifan steal the leading female role.

You really do care about Xiao Xiong.

- Why would I care about a background character like her? - My goodness.

What about you, Cousin?

You can't be serious about that background character, can you?

You can tell that, too?

But don't worry, I won't get hurt.

You're thinking too much. I'm not worried for you.

But if that day does really happen,

don't cry by yourself.

How could that be?

Don't worry, Cousin. Go for it tomorrow.

I will definitely make you exceptionally beautiful in my photos.

I am already exceptionally beautiful without your photos.

[100th Anniversary of Suhua University: Best Group]

Sure enough. The atmosphere in this auditorium

is much better than the school auditorium.

It's great. It's really great.

Not bad.

The next performance is from the Faculty of Economics.

I've heard it's even better.

Looking forward to it.

Thank you very much for your performance.

Next, let's welcome onstage

the performers from our Faculty of Economics, who will bring

us a splendid performance. Welcome.

- What's going on with this? - It's gone dark suddenly.

- Did the electricity go out? - Why aren't the lights turning on?

How are they going to perform?

Which faculty are you guys from?

Seems like they are from the Faculty of Arts and Sports.

Someone just snuck into the control room and turned off the lights.

Faculty of Arts and Sports, right?

Your performance already got canceled.

- Hurry and come down. - Come down. This is not the place for you to mess around.

- Right. - Director, their equipment is already onstage. Taking them down will be more bothersome.

- Just one song. Please be flexible. - How can that be?!

- No. Where is the Faculty of Architecture? - Why not? Just one song.

Students, let's welcome the splendid impromptu performance

from the Faculty of Arts and Sports.

[Tang Tang, my pretty girl]

[Tang Tang, my pretty girl]

[Tang Tang] [Yan Ke]

[My handsome guy] [The most beautiful]

[Tang Tang] [My pretty girl]

[My handsome guy]

That was awesome!

What a surprise. A surprise!

Here, here, everyone! Bottoms up.

Okay, bottoms up!

Faculty of Arts and Sports, always fighting!

We will be the leaders for generations!

Bottoms up!

Yan Ke, this won't do. You and Xiao Xiong should punish yourselves with three more glasses.

That's right. You two are dating on the public dime.

You've been hiding that from us for so long. I was a fan of you two as a couple.

It turns out you were dating in secret.

Exactly. Drink one! Drink one!

Drink one!

- I'll drink it for her. - Okay, you said it. I'll drink with you first.

Bottoms up!

Are you all right?

I've already made the appointment at the hospital.

I've given them the information.

Don't worry. It's nothing serious.

Okay, then I'll hang up first.

What? Are you here to gloat?

You background character...

you've already stolen my part.

Are you leaving the country?

Yes. But let me tell you,

even if I leave the country, I will not let go of Yan Ke.

Wait until I come back. I'll still be the leading actress.

Okay, leading actress. Take it, it's all yours.

What do you mean "take it?"

It's all mine, to begin with.

Yan.

Please inform Xiao Xiong that

if she thinks you are too boring,

she can find me anytime.

Don't worry, you will never have the opportunity.

[Question: What is the "Blue Dragon Study Group"?]

At the time, we all went to watch a martial arts movie.

Thus we passionately formed the Blue Dragon Clan.

But I don't know who told on us. The Room Teacher found out.

Then, we were forced to turn it into an educational

"Blue Dragon Study Group."

Youth?
