[Episode 17] [My Wish When I Was 17 Was About You]

[To: Su Zaizai. From: Zhang Luli.]

Long time no see, Zai.

I can't use my phone anymore as the NCEE is around the corner.

I can only write letters instead.

I spoke to Lurang on the phone a while back.

He's in a good mood and told me a lot about you guys.

I don't know anyone else.

But judging from the way he talked about them,

they must be just as interesting as you.

You said Lurang became friends with you

because you kept bothering him.

Let me tell you in secret.

I've seen Lurang play with that doll several times.

He must be happy to have you as a friend but wouldn't admit it.

My brother's kind of cute.

Oh, by the way, I talked to my parents once after I got back.

I think they're slowly changing.

Hmm.

I hope things get better.

Zai, I wish you all the best too.

Zai!

You're going to be late for school if you don't leave now.

Coming!

[The First High School Affiliated to Jiangyi University]

You used to look forward to your birthday before it even came.

Why do you not want to celebrate your birthday this year?

I know there are some things I can't get away with,

but I can't help but think my birthday is before the winter break.

After my birthday, Zhang Lurang will go back to Suyang.

Suddenly I don't feel like celebrating it.

It's exactly because he's leaving

that we must enjoy your birthday so that it's meaningful.

We must have a good time.

Come on.

This is so difficult.

What's so difficult about buying a gift?

Winter is coming.

You can buy a scarf or gloves.

Or...

Bracelets are good too.

Most girls like pretty things.

Do you like pretty things too?

Are you asking that question...

to taunt me about not being like most girls out there?

Forget it.

There's no use keeping it after buying it.

Ahem.

Uhh.

I got it from the malatang's raffle event in the canteen.

There's no use for me keeping it.

You can have it.

No.

Knowing Jiang Jia's personality,

she'll be waiting at the canteen entrance tomorrow.

I found this on the roadside.

I'm lucky, aren't I?

Ha ha ha... Ha ha.

Ha ha ha.

That's too fake.

Gu Ran.

Have you done something bad?

You looked scared.

What do you want with me at this hour?

Well...

It's just that...

I just bought Su Zaizai's birthday gift.

It's one of those carved wooden dolls.

Don't you know her better?

What do you think?

Not bad.

Zai would probably like it.

Is that all?

Yes.

What else could there be?

By the way, I was just buying the gift in the store.

And they happened to have a promotion.

Buy two and get 20% off.

I was tricked into buying this.

It's no use to me.

So I thought I could give it to you.

If you don't want it...

Why wouldn't I reject something free?

You don't like me, do you?

Ahem.

Who did you say I like?

You?

How is that possible?

What's so good about you?

Besides having big eyes, fair skin, a small face,

curly lashes, and being tall, what strength do you possess?

Oh, I...

What I meant is that you're not really my type.

Don't overthink it.

Okay.

That's good.

I thought you had a thing for me.

You scared me.

Don't flatter yourself.

We finally made it to Friday without the evening self-study class.

We're leaving first.

Bye-bye.

See you next week.

Let's go.

Let's go get Zhang Lurang and the rest.

It's on me today.

I already decided on which restaurant we're going.

If it's your treat, be careful we'll make you broke.

Well... My birthday is a happy event.

Su Zaizai, Mr. Lin wants to see you.

Huh?

Okay.

I wonder what it's about.

Why don't I text you the address?

You guys can head there first. I'll catch up with you in a minute.

Okay.

Then we'll leave first.

Yeah, okay.

Sir.

Mr. Lin, you wanted to see me?

It's no big deal.

Grade 10 just finished the monthly exam. They want to get the English results soon.

I don't have enough people to mark the test papers.

So I thought I could use your help.

Mark the section of multiple choice questions by referring to this answer sheet.

It won't take long.

Are you in a hurry to leave?

I'm not.

Okay.

Then sit at the table over there and mark the papers.

Thank you.

Are you done?

Goodbye, Mr. Lin.

Thank you so much for today.

Be careful on your way home.

Okay.

Goodbye.

It's late.

Why don't you guys go home first?

What?

I guess we have no choice.

We'll celebrate your birthday tomorrow.

It's fine.

We can do it anytime.

[Miss Su Zaizai, the challenge starts. This way, please.]

[Come on. You're almost there.]

[Su Zaizai! Turn around!]

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Happy birthday.

I thought you all left.

Why would we?

Even if they left, I wouldn't.

You've gone too far by belittling others

to make yourself look good.

We're not leaving, okay?

What do you think? My idea's better, right?

I asked Mr. Lin to delay you for a while.

What do you think?

Isn't it great?

Where's the gift?

It grew wings and flew to your room.

It's the most important part now.

Su Zaizai.

Make a wish.

It's the first time Rang has celebrated someone else's birthday.

He doesn't even celebrate his own birthday.

My wish is simple.

It's not too much if I make two wishes, right?

Firstly,

I hope everyone can be as happy as today every day.

What about the second wish?

I'm not telling you my second wish.

Su Zaizai, you've changed.

Hey.

Oh.

Be careful.

My second wish

is that I wish I can celebrate Rang's 18th birthday with him.

Rang.

Are you

free?

What's the matter?

Can you come downstairs?

I'm downstairs at your house.

I'm free.

I'm coming down right away.

Rang.

You wanted to see me?

Yes.

Yeah?

Happy birthday, Su Zaizai.

Your gift.

I think you'll like it.

Thank you.

This is the happiest birthday I've ever had.

When you get back to Suyang,

I'll take lots of pictures with it and send them to you.

Can you grant me a wish too?

What is it?

Will you come back when I finish the photo paper?

Calm down, kids.

Why are there so many people?

Everyone wants to join the ID photo session organized by the school.

Hey.

What time are you leaving tomorrow?

Nine.

We'll be in class at that time.

We won't be able to see you off.

It's alright.

I'm not going very far anyway.

I can come back during the holidays.

That's right.

We can visit you if you can't come.

Besides, more than a year isn't that long.

It'll be over soon.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Soon.

Then we have a deal to keep in touch.

It's good enough that you don't harass Zhang Lurang.

Harass?

It's care.

Why hasn't the line gotten any shorter in a long time?

Sorry, let me through.

Sorry.

Be careful.

Is something wrong?

Kids.

Calm down, kids.

We have some issues with the computer. We're getting someone to fix it.

It might take a while.

Can I have a look at it?

I know something about computers.

Sure.

Come here.

All right.

This kid is amazing.

He fixed it so quickly.

It's just a hobby.

Gu Ran, you're amazing.

You kept it from us.

I just got lucky today.

Why are you being humble?

You're really good.

I only play computer games and surf the Internet.

Yet you know how to fix computers.

It's not that difficult.

Well...

my talent did most of the job.

All right.

We can proceed.

Are you friends?

Yes.

Best friends.

If it weren't for this boy,

who knows how long we would've to wait?

Why don't we let them take the photos first?

Sure.

Let's take your photos first then.

Really?

Let's get changed into the outfit for the photo shoot.

It's so cold.

It's good that the air conditioner is on.

Kids.

You go first.

All right, sit tight.

You smile so happily.

Looks like you're in a good mood after fixing the computer.

All right. Three, two, one.

Okay.

Look at the camera.

Three, two, one.

Tilt your head a little to the left.

Okay. Three, two, one.

Let me see yours.

It looks really good.

Students, take the photos yourselves.

Okay.

Why do I look so creepy?

Let me see.

I want to see it too.

Let me see.

Where's mine?

Hello.

Can we get another photo?

Oh, Guan Fang. Stop it.

I meant a group photo.

Sure.

Go on.

There's no one left anyway.

You don't need instructions from me this time.

You can do whatever makes you look good.

Let's go.

I'm standing here.

Go over.

Here.

Don't move.

Rang.

Don't forget to memorize English words when you get to Suyang.

Don't forget to correct the math problems you got wrong.

Drinking a glass of milk before bed helps you sleep.

Be careful when you go home alone at night.

Smile more.

Or people will think you're difficult.

No.

You better not smile.

What if everyone finds out you have a nice smile?

Su Zaizai.

Yes?

Let's go to East China University together.

It's snowing.

That means it's our second winter together.

Rang, happy one-year anniversary.

Let's exchange.

Think of it as proof of what we just talked about.

Okay.

Look.

The snow left a mark.

So you can't go back on what you've promised someone

during the first snow.

Or there will be serious consequences.

What consequences?

I'll get angry.

Okay.

Very serious.

Rang, I heard from Mr. Lin that you can't use your phone either.

So I began writing my first letter.

How are you getting used to Suyang now that school has started?

To be honest, I'm not used to taking public transport

and going home alone.

So I started riding the bicycle again.

Hello, Mr. Lin.

Su Zaizai.

Su.

I saw Su downstairs the last time I passed by your house.

It won't pounce at me anymore.

I'll work harder to bribe her soon.

How are you doing over there?

The new school is great.

But the learning progress is slightly faster than Jiangyi.

I've adapted to this place.

I scored 122 in English for the monthly exam.

I didn't fall behind.

You can rest assured.

When I went to buy study materials, I found

that the supermarket with the flash sale that year has been converted into a bookstore.

You can come and check it out when you have the chance.

Spring comes later in Suyang than in Jiangyi.

I heard that the winter jasmine on Jiangyi's roadside has bloomed.

You must be elated.

Study hard.

Why do you still remember my flash sale?

It's so embarrassing.

Don't remember these things.

Let me tell you something interesting.

April Fool's Day this year,

Guan Fang and Gu Ran acted in The Emperor's New Clothes.

It's so funny.

It's a pity that you didn't see it.

[Su Zaizai] By the way, I'm also studying hard.

I signed up

for the summer intensive math class with Jiang Jia.

I can't visit you in Suyang.

I went south in September to take part in a competition.

It's the furthest place I've ever been to alone.

Everything is beautiful there.

Standing on the beach,

I suddenly wanted to go back to Jiangyi.

It would have been different if you guys were there as well.

By the way, Luli got into Hua University.

Mom and Dad wanted him to study finance.

He chose his favorite major, Biology.

I envy him.

I'm so happy for him.

I don't know if it's just me.

After entering Grade 12,

I feel that I've grown up overnight.

I'm exhausted every day.

I hope I don't have anything to think about

and can sleep for three days and three nights.

But every time I see students in Grade 10 and Grade 11

looking...

admiringly, yes, looking admiringly at us.

I feel that I can hold on a little longer.

I had a physical exam today.

Oh.

I seem to have an irregular heartbeat.

I have a rapid heartbeat.

It keeps thumping.

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have thought of you during the physical examination.

Rang.

I miss you so much.

♪ I'm not sad, I'm just sorry I didn't say goodbye ♪

Okay.

That's all for today's class.

♪ A peek on the school field ♪

The school is doing a survey on NCEE,

including your target universities and majors.

Please fill it out as per your situation.

Wang Nan, please distribute the forms.

Thank you.

Zai, where do you want to go?

Hua University.

I've made a deal with Rang.

[My Ideal University and Major]

Guan Fang, what do you want to study in the future?

I want to study economics.

Hey, what's that look?

I've never been wrong working out the accounts for my grandma since I was a kid.

I look financially savvy.

What about you?

Me?

Medicine.

My parents are doctors. I can't lose to them.

Jiang, don't just talk about us.

What about you?

What do you want to study?

I haven't made up my mind yet.

It's okay. Take your time.

It's still early before the deadline for the university application after the NCEE.

Don't rush it.

Oh, our math papers are released.

I kept it in your desk drawer.

[Math Test Paper]

Do you two have any paper?

I meant tissue paper.

Su Zaizai, do you have any?

Su Zaizai.

Su Zaizai.

Diameter? ♪Tissue and diameter sound similar in Chinse

Which question?

Are you two okay?

I think they've gone dumb from studying.

Both of them were so distracted.

There's still some time before the NCEE.

Could it be that they are too stressed?

Maybe?

Let's go to your home tomorrow.

I haven't visited your grandma in a long time.

We can take them both to relax.

Sure.

Leave it to me.

Hey.

I left my football on the field. I'll go get it.

Go back first.

How forgetful.

Has he gone dumb from studying too?

Am I the only normal person here?

How good I am.

Why are you sighing?

Haven't you heard a saying?

Everyone's luck is limited.

If you sigh a lot, your luck will slip away.

Why are you here?

I was picking up a ball over there.

I was about to get it, but a gust of wind blew it away.

I looked up.

Turns out you were sighing.

Tell me.

How are things lately?

Zai's dream is to be a diplomatic translator.

Guan Fang wants to study economics.

You all have dreams.

But I don't.

I've never thought about it.

All I know is that I will go to junior high after finishing primary school.

After finishing junior high, I have to go to high school.

But I now realize there will be no more rules.

I have to proceed on my own.

It's weird, right?

Few people have no dreams.

I don't even have any strengths.

Who says you don't?

Do I have any?

You...

Never mind. I won't give you a hard time.

Come on. It's time for the evening self-study session.

No matter what, we have to pass NCEE first.

My... My son left his test paper here

and asked me to pick it up.

I see.

Is your son in Grade 12 too?

Ah, yes.

Grade 12.

Well.

Grade 12 students have tight schedules

so he asked me to get it for him.

Oh.

I'm pretty sure he's not a parent.

He said his son was in Grade 12.

But he headed for the Grade 11 school building.

And he looked sneaky and guilty.

A lot of things have been missing from the school buildings recently.

It must be his doings.

The lock on the west school gate is broken.

It's not fixed yet.

And he came from that direction.

There's a good chance he'll leave from there.

Sirs, please go get him.

Go check it out.

I'll leave first.

Let me know if you have any results, sir.

Gu Ran?

You have no idea how good my sixth sense is.

I can tell he's not a good man.

So I was extra cautious.

You're not an idiot.

You didn't expose him to his face.

Of course.

I reached home.

Goodbye.

Today is January 1st, 2015.

It's the start of a new year.

The second semester of Grade 12 is coming up.

We only have a one-day holiday.

I'm going back to school tomorrow.

There's nothing special about the holiday.

All I do is study.

But something made me happy.

Rang sent me a letter again.

This is the seventh letter.

The content is nothing more than to wish me a happy new year

and sadness and guilt for not being able to be by my side

for the coming year.

I understand.

I'm very forgiving anyway.

He can make it up later.

And I've only used three of these photo papers.

Don't blame me for being slow.

I thought about using them all at once.

But I think it's too reckless.

Besides, there's no way I'll make Rang someone who doesn't keep their promises.

So I won't finish them before I get some decent grades.

All right, I'll stop here.

I'm going to continue studying.

Bye.
