[Episode 8]

We are here.

Be careful.

OK.

Bye.

Hurry back.

Don't forget what you promised me tomorrow.

If you can still remember it tomorrow.

Okay.

I'm leaving.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye!

Bye!

Is your confession successful?

She promised to run with me tomorrow.

Confess your love properly next time.

Don't just invite someone to run. Nobody can understand you.

She will understand.

Tong.

I got the result of my simulated due diligence.

I'm the first place!

Are you?

As expected of my girl!

You are amazing.

Sure.

After all, I said

I'd be financially independent

before I turned 35.

Such stimulated due diligence

is not a challenge for me.

Awesome.

Enough, stop drinking.

You might as well take this opportunity and try.

Listen.

Being in a relationship is like doing business.

Good fortune waits for only bold ones.

Being like this,

you are not like Xu Chenxi I know anymore.

Do you think I've never confessed?

I confessed right after I graduated from high school.

Pick-roll.

Defense.

Gan Yang!

- Be careful. - Keep up.

Nice shot!

Good shot!

Get into position. Stay on defense.

Gan Yang.

I like you.

Let's be together.

Since that day,

he had been somehow avoiding me.

So I made a decision.

Why did she come?

She's here again.

Why are you here?

That's none of your business.

Wait!

Gan Yang.

Since Xu Chenxi is so proactive,

why don't you just accept?

Zeng Junjie.

I like you.

Me?

Let's be together.

She...

Mission completed. Bye.

Wait a moment.

What's going on?

What do you mean?

Can't you see it yet?

I can't.

Simply put,

I'm playing Truth or Dare.

If I lose, I have to confess to the person they designated.

Then did you lose last time?

Otherwise, do you think I really like you?

I'm scared.

I really thought you liked me.

In your dreams.

After I explained to him that day,

he didn't hide from me anymore.

Our relationship was back to normal.

I never dare to say I like him again.

To avoid him from being suspicious,

I chose a university in Shanghai deliberately.

I'm so far from him.

It's really far.

There, there.

- Stop crying. - Why?

- Why doesn't he like me? - There, there.

Hello?

Ding Zhitong.

Why are you still sleeping?

Don't forget what you promised me last night.

I'll pick you up in half an hour.

Are you sobered up?

I don't drink much usually.

And I didn't drink much last night.

I kind of hope you drank much last night,

so you could forget what happened last night.

Ding Zhitong.

Are you listening?

Sure.

I'm telling you.

Don't try to play dumb and refuse to admit it.

I was just drunk last night,

not stupid.

We agreed that I would run with you

after I get an offer, didn't we?

I haven't received the offer yet.

Why don't you think this way?

If you run with me, you may receive it.

See you half an hour later.

Okay.

Tong.

Are you going out in spite of the heavy rain?

Hey.

But it's raining outside.

Can we still run?

Right.

All right.

You can go back to sleep.

How about this?

We can run when the rain stops.

That's good.

Then let's wait for the rain to stop.

See you later.

OK. Bye.

[Linke]

Is this one better than the previous clothes?

Do you need to do this?

You're going for a run, not to a beauty pageant.

You wouldn't understand.

She finally agreed

to go for a run with me.

Of course, I have to prepare well.

I surely know nothing.

That's why I won't waste my time on you.

I have a lot of experiments to do.

Nope.

I gotta figure out what I'm wearing

before you take off.

Tell me.

Is this one better?

Wait.

How can I remember what you wore before?

Don't they all look the same?

Then I'll try them again.

Your Majesty.

I remembered it.

This one is very good.

It brightens your skin tone and shows your temperament.

It also makes your legs look longer.

Really?

Then I definitely won't choose this one.

Because you always have a poor taste.

Then why are you pestering me for advice?

Reverse selection, you know?

What's the use of wearing cool clothes?

You can only run after the rain stops.

Please.

Please stop raining.

The sun is already out.

Why is it still raining?

I'm leaving, Yunting.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hello?

The rain has stopped.

Yeah.

Then let's meet at the park gate later.

See you later.

OK. See you later.

Ding Zhitong.

I thought you were gone.

How is it possible?

We made an appointment.

How could I leave before you arrive?

Then let's go.

OK.

Let's run.

Wait a minute. Ding Zhitong.

You're not breathing correctly while running.

I'm just breathing normally.

While running,

the rhythm and method of breathing are particularly important.

Or it's easy to get out of breath.

Listen.

Follow me.

Put your hands on your waist.

Feel your breathing.

Follow me.

Breathe out.

Breathe out. Breathe in.

Inhale with your nose, and exhale with your mouth.

Breathe out.

Give me your hand.

Put your hand on your abdomen

and feel it again.

Breath in.

Breathe out.

In.

Out.

Out.

Why does your pulse feel so rapid?

Do you have a problem with your heart?

No, I don't.

Let's go.

Okay.

Breathe.

♪A different kind of air♪

♪Hovers between us there♪

♪Rain-washed lemon freshness drifts♪

♪Your breathing syncs♪

♪With my own rhythm♪

♪This unfamiliar feeling♪

♪In your eyes I see♪

♪Falling stars from dreams♪

♪Running against the wind♪

♪At the rhythm of the heartbeat♪

Breathe.

♪Every shining, shining day♪

♪Is a loving, loving day♪

No.

I can't run anymore.

♪Moon and stars now share your rhythm♪

Really?

♪Every shining, shining day♪

♪I am gonna open my heart♪

It's time to test your perseverance.

Think about the offer from Hetai Securities.

That's what you're pushing for, right?

Let's run!

♪Welcome to♪

For my offer!

Let's push forward!

Come on!

♪Where every cloud is brushed with color♪

♪You're so unique♪

♪Appear in such a cold season♪

♪Like a cup of warm milk♪

♪I want to greet the sunrise in your embrace♪

♪Under the same azure sea♪

♪You and I♪

Here, have some water.

Thanks.

You ran quite well, didn't you?

And you made it to the end.

It's because of your encouragement.

Ding Zhitong.

Do you remember

that I said I would say something important to you

after the marathon?

Ding Zhitong.

I...

It's raining.

Right.

How about going to my place for now?

It is nearby.

I'll send you back to school when the rain eases up.

Okay.

Let's go.

Have you heard what happened this morning?

Song Mingmei roughed up Xu Shiqi in the cafeteria.

Sure, I heard about it.

It seems to be related to the report result.

I saw this with my own eyes.

Song Mingmei and Mr. Qin went back to the dormitory together,

and she also touched Mr. Qin's head.

What would I lie to you?

How could something like that happen

between teachers and students?

- Really? - I saw...

Song Mingmei, are you out of your mind?

Let's take a photo of her and report to school.

Publicly beat someone up?

Your simulated due diligence result should be nullified!

[Financial Institution System]

I've read all your reports.

Besides scoring,

I also made detailed comments.

Do you have any questions about your results?

Okay then.

Next up,

we will focus

on Song Mingmei's report.

In comparison,

her report is the most comprehensive and complete one.

She also made a detailed industry analysis.

In addition to regular information review,

she also contacted senior experts

for industry interviews.

This is something that the rest of you ignored.

Based on the above reasons,

I gave her the highest score

in the class.

If she gets the highest score...

Her report is indeed excellent.

I don't understand why Xu Shiqi...

I've already forwarded all the reports

before class.

He is just green-eyed.

I believe all of you have seen them.

If you have any objections to this,

we can discuss it now.

Xu Shiqi.

How about you?

Any objections?

Since there is no objection,

can you apologize to Song Mingmei and me?

Xu Shiqi.

Sorry, Mr. Qin.

Sorry,

Song Mingmei.

All right.

Sit down.

If someone spreads rumors behind my back again,

they can't take my class.

Now he looks pretty handsome.

We'll be talking about solutions for the Profit and Loss Ratio Formula.

Please come in.

This is my home.

I share this house

with Wang Yi.

I...

Ding Zhitong, you got rained on!

Hurry and take a shower.

Do you have any clothes for me to change?

Yes.

Here you are.

Thanks.

Gan Yang.

You're finished?

I'll take you somewhere.

Okay.

These are my collections.

So this is your exercise science lab?

Yes.

But this lab is relatively small.

We do some

simple experiments here.

As for complex ones,

we use the lab at school.

If we need special equipment, we will go to my family's factory.

Are all the shoes on the wall part of your collection?

Look at this pair.

This is the first pair

of running shoes with shock absorption.

You can pinch it.

Is it soft?

What about this?

It's one of the defective products that I collected.

Why them?

I'm doing this

to know the shortcomings of these running shoes.

Sometimes, I disassemble them.

To see

if there's anything

that can be improved,

which is how I learn.

You're really different from others.

Others usually collect good-looking ones

and those with potential for appreciation.

You're collecting a bunch of failed sneakers.

Does it make you feel

I'm very prodigal?

No, you must be collecting these

to make better running shoes.

You sure understand me,

Tong.

What would you like to drink?

Anything will be fine.

Okay.

These are the shoes I prepared for you.

For me?

Yeah.

You promised me before

to help me test the running shoes.

Remember?

I just thought you were throwing it out there.

How is it possible?

This is the latest batch of shoes

produced by our factory.

I asked them to leave a pair with your size.

And it's pure white.

Because I want to spray-paint it for you.

Will you do it by yourself?

Right.

Do you want to try it?

I'm afraid I'll screw it up.

No need to be afraid. I'll teach you.

OK.

The paint on this shoe hasn't dried yet.

It will take a while to wear it.

This is the first time I've sprayed my own shoes.

It feels fantastic.

Do you like it?

When I make shoes of my own brand,

I must give you the first pair.

And then we will spray them together.

Then it's a deal.

Thank you, Mr. Gan.

You're welcome, Ms. Ding.

I got an offer from Hetai.

[Welcome to Hetai Securities, Ding Zhitong.]

Congratulations!

Finally, it's a good result.

Ding Zhitong.

Let's run together.

Okay.

I like you, too.

♪And just for now, I wanna hold you tight♪

♪Come let me see you in the morning light♪

♪If our eyes can't hold back love's tide♪

♪Let it come roaring inside♪

♪Stay with me♪

♪Eye to eye♪

♪Come feel my heart♪

♪Burning bright♪

♪A heartbeat shared in perfect harmony♪

♪Every stroke of ink screams I miss you♪

♪So don't let me go♪

This one.

Tong.

Which one do you think looks better?

Just that one.

Ding Zhitong.

Ding Zhitong!

Clear your mind!

You've been weird since yesterday.

You've been smiling since you came back.

Tell me.

Are you hiding something from me?

I got together with Gan Yang.

Is it for real?

Tong, you finally came around!

So Gan Yang is quite somebody.

Tell me.

What's going on?

Well, I like him,

and he also likes me,

so we got together.

Boring.

You were so hesitant days ago.

Explain it.

Why did you make up your mind suddenly?

I feel you were right.

No one can tell the future.

But at least we are truly in love now.

Then I'll just deal with things as they come.

Precisely.

That's right to think this way.

Youth

is all about enjoying the moment.

- Indeed. - Indeed.

What are you doing?

These are for my Tong.

Can't you make some more?

These are the only dumplings left in the refrigerator.

If you want to eat,

buy the ingredients by yourself tonight.

I'll do it for you when I come back.

Such a flake!

If you are jealous of me, just say it.

How smug!

I'll send her the video

of you getting drunk last year.

You still have the nerve to say it?

Who did I drink for?

Wang Yi.

Do you still want me to cook for you?

I'm kidding.

I'm just being humorous.

Is that so?

Brush the pot.

Leave it to me.

I'm leaving.

Come back early.

I'll wait for us to have dinner.

[Female Dormitory. No Entry for Males]

Good morning.

What brings you here?

I'm here to pick up my girlfriend to work.

Well, you are quite a good boyfriend.

You definitely fit the bill.

Are you going to class? I can give you a ride.

No need.

I'll go by myself.

I won't be the third wheel.

I'll leave for now.

- Have fun. - Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Let's go.

Let's go.

You haven't had breakfast yet, right?

Here you are.

I made these fried dumplings.

So many?

I can just grab some food at the convenience store.

You can't eat junk food every day.

From now on, I'll cook for you as long as I have time.

Okay.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Give me the lunch box.

Shall we have dinner together tonight?

Good.

I get off work at 6 PM.

OK. I'll pick you up then.

See you at night.

See you at night.

Bye.

Bye.

Are you okay?

Yunting, what's up?

My boyfriend broke up with me.

He said he...

He said he had enough of our long-distance relationship.

Then I called him

and I heard some other woman's voice.

I really want to ask him what is going on

face-to-face.

But the air ticket is too expensive.

I can't afford it at all.

Stop crying.

How about this?

Take some rest and calm down.

And then you can call him for a talk.

There might be misunderstandings.

Maybe you could solve it by communicating.

Really?

Yeah.

It's better than overthinking.

Just go back to the dormitory to rest today.

But I just started working today.

It's okay. I'll do your part today.

Go back quickly.

Thank you.

You're the best.

It's no big deal.

- Hurry up. - Thank you.

Go get changed.

OK.

Go.

You can leave.

Gan Yang, I'm back.

Gan Yang?

My dear chef.

What's up?

You bought groceries?

Sure.

Take a look.

Check these I bought.

They are very fresh.

Let's cook a big meal tonight.

I won't be eating with you.

I'll go out for a date.

Then what should I do?

You can do it by yourself.

Do it yourself.

Are you kidding?

How can you say such indifferent words

as a human being?

You just had a girlfriend,

and now you want to abandon your old dining partner?

Just get yourself a girlfriend.

Do you think I don't want to?

Man, look.

All these papers and those experiments.

How can I have time for a relationship?

I can't help you with this.

I'm leaving.

Hey, Tong.

Please wait for me for a while.

I'll go out right away.

I'll get there soon.

Hi, Gan Yang.

I may not be able to have supper today.

I'll take over the shift for my colleague temporarily.

Sorry.

Never mind.

OK, I got it.

It's an emergency.

You don't want this either.

OK, you can continue your work.

Bye.

She won't eat with you at night?

You have a keen ear.

Time waits for no man.

Let's do it!

I won't eat with you.

Tong is still working overtime.

She'll have instant noodles alone in the convenience store.

I'll go there for her.

Bye.

Then what about the groceries?

You can do it yourself.

[Linke]

Is anyone here?

Welcome.

Why are you here?

I'm here to have dinner with you.

Really?

I only have instant noodles for dinner.

Then I'll too.

You're having those as well?

Then how about this?

I'll make you some special instant noodles.

OK.

You can start eating

when the cheese melts.

I also added some chips to it.

What a new way to eat it!

I specially developed this method.

Try it.

Then I'll try it.

Is it good?

It's tasty.

Good?

- That's fine. - It smells great.

Isn't Yunting on duty today?

But she had something to deal with.

So I took her duty today.

By the way,

is her boyfriend in Guangzhou?

How do you know it?

Wang Yi used to like her.

But then he knew she had a boyfriend.

Guangzhou is too far away.

The air tickets and train tickets are quite expensive.

They can't often meet monthly.

They're really suffering.

It's a real love story with all sorts of complications.

I'm going to Shanghai soon.

I know.

My girl is growing up

and heading out into the world.

But don't worry,

I'll work hard.

No matter which city you are in,

I'll fly over to see you.

Alright?

Alright.

Do you want to eat?

No.

I just ate a whole bowl of it.

All right.

Hello?

Okay.

OK. I'll arrive on time.

Thank you.

What's up?

Nothing.

It's really nothing.

Eat up.

Okay.

I will change shifts with Yunting tomorrow.

I'll be free next evening.

Will you?

Then let's have dinner together.

Okay.

Just add us.

I'd really rather not.

Yes, just add us.

Add us as friends.

Look, it's really not a good time.

- Just to get to know you. - I really can't.

Add us as friends.

- We are schoolmates. - Sorry, I'd prefer not to, thanks.

I can't do it.

Just get to know each other.

Will that do?

Tong.

There are many girls talking to you.

Then what should I do if I go to Shanghai?

You already saw it. Why didn't you save me?

I can save you once or twice,

but I can't always be there to save you.

Rest assured.

I'll steer clear of girls.

Where shall we have a meal?

You'll know when you get there.

Hello?

Yes, I am.

Thank you.

I'll report to duty on time.

I'd like to ask this.

Do all new employees need to report in advance?

Okay.

Thank you.

Bye.

This is my vegetable garden.

You see, chili peppers are grown there.

Here are the tomatoes. They are not yet ripe.

Then these are eggplants.

So many vegetables.

You have so many niche hobbies.

Tell me, do you have more hobbies?

That's not really a hobby. We grow them for eating.

They are fresh to eat.

And only after having enough food

can we have the strength to live well.

Plants just don't thrive under my care.

Am I just not green-fingered at all?

That's not it.

That's because you're usually too busy.

You have no time to take care

of such matters.

If you have time,

you can do it well, too.

Then you can teach me in the future.

Sure.

Here it comes.

Bamboo Shoot Soup with Pork?

I knew you'd like this.

I rarely had it after I went to college.

I do miss it every day.

But where did you buy bamboo shoots?

They don't sell bamboo shoots

in the wet market near the college.

I found them somewhere farther away.

Hurry and have a try.

Let me try it.

It tastes like the real deal.

That's good.

Chef Gan.

Is it really your first time cooking this?

I did it the second time.

Then who did you make it for the first time?

The first time I made it,

it was for...

I see.

Your ex-girlfriend.

Everyone has their first love.

I can understand.

It's Wang Yi.

I was afraid I couldn't make it tasty,

So I tried it out on him a few days ago.

Otherwise, who do you think I made it for?

I don't care who it is.

Tong.

You are my first love,

and also the first person who touched my heart.
