[A River Runs Through It]

[Episode 17: The person I love and the person he loves]

Xiaoju...

Why are you crying?

No reason. My eyes are just sore.

What's wrong?

My goodness.

These clothes have been here for almost two weeks.

Never mind. I'll go and return them for you.

I'll return them to her.

Xiaoju, long time no see!

That... Is Lin You here?

She's not here. She's out on a date with her boyfriend.

Do you need her for something?

Then please help me return this to her.

Okay, no problem.

- Thank you, bye. - You're welcome.

[Weng You Library]

She's not here. She's out on a date with her boyfriend.

I'm going to answer a call.

Tell me, what happened?

They're together now.

My heart hurts.

It's better to know about it early on

so you can give up on the idea sooner.

I know that they're a good match.

I shouldn't have fantasized that I had a chance.

I should... I should wish them happiness.

Taotao, do you know?

He doesn't like me.

Whether in the past or present, he doesn't like me.

It has been an unrequited love.

He never liked me.

It's okay. Everything will pass.

There will be a nice guy waiting for you in the future.

It's okay.

No matter whom the flower blooms for,

I'd rather it bloom than disappear.

Cheng Lang,

Lin You,

I wish you happiness.

- Le Tao. - What's up?

My favorite novelist published a new book.

Can you lend me some money?

Big Huang just established a band and applied for a rehearsal room.

There are many things to buy.

I've been short on money as well lately.

Why is that when others date, it's the boyfriend that spends money,

but when it comes to you, you're the one who spends money?

What you're thinking of are the old-fashioned and superstitious ways.

Now boys and girls are equal.

Who said boys must pay in the relationship?

Moreover, I also really like rock music.

Since he established a band, of course, I'd help him!

Okay, fine. As long as you like it.

Xiaoju, have you gotten your paycheck lately?

Can you lend me some money?

Does it look like I've gotten my paycheck?

I only have a bit more than 10 yuan.

Why is everyone so poor at the end of the month?

Everyone's here today.

Xiaoju, your dad is waiting for you downstairs.

Hurry and go!

Dad!

Why are you here?

Why didn't you call me in advance?

You haven't been home for weeks.

Your mom is worried so she told me to come and visit you,

and to give you some money as well.

I've recently found a part-time job so I have some money.

You really don't need to worry about me.

No wonder you're so thin and tan.

You can't go out and work anymore. You're a student so you need to study.

Dad, a-actually...

I know our family's having a hard time right now.

Anyway, I have money right now.

You really don't need to give me any.

Not only that, my job won't affect my studies.

Xiaoju, you've grown up and became more sensible,

but you must accept the money.

Listen to me. I've already found a way to resolve the issue at home.

No more work, got it?

Why do you need a dad?

A dad ought to make money for the family!

Cheng Lang also works a part-time job,

and it hasn't affected his studies.

As for Cheng Lang, it's not that I'm not on your side,

but Cheng Lang is very good in his studies. He's a genius!

Our Xiaoju is sometimes a bit dull.

You just favor Cheng Lang.

Okay, I'm going to leave now.

Go back inside.

Okay.

Dad, take care.

Go back.

- Dad! - Why did you run?

What's wrong?

I'll send you off at the bus stop.

I thought something happened.

Could someone my age get lost?

Having not seen me in so long,

don't you miss me?

Didn't you also say that I'm your sweet little cotton-padded jacket?

Dad, did I really become very tan?

If you fell into a coal heap,

I may not be able to find you.

How can you say that about your biological daughter?

I can't be that tan.

- Look, look! I'm really not that tan! - All right, okay.

Although you might be as dark as coal,

you're as dark as Justice Bao. (T/N: He is portrayed as having really dark skin with a moon on his forehead, and is a symbol of justice.)

Dad!

Xiaoju, I'm joking.

You're my daughter.

Whether you're white

or dark, fat or thin, you're pretty.

But if you really got thinner,

our hearts will ache for you,

fearing you're not eating well, okay?

Dad, don't worry.

I eat quite a lot.

Dad, have you eaten yet?

Do you want me to advance your paycheck?

I'm so sorry, Manager Zhao.

That... Xia Xiaoju, you've only been here a couple of days.

Do you think it's proper for you to request such a thing?

I... Manager Zhao,

I really do have something urgent.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be asking for it now.

If you need it urgently, you can borrow it from your friends, right?

Also from your relatives or your mom.

We have rules here at the store.

Look, you have something urgent today and took an advance,

then they'll copy you tomorrow by asking for an advance.

If you all run away, what do I do?

How can I run away? I won't run away, I definitely won't!

Manager, you're really good at making jokes.

Well... Look, let's not talk about the advance first.

Over there is a new batch of goods.

Hurry and sort them out, then put them on the shelf.

I've something that I need to do so I'll be out for a bit,

but don't worry.

When it's time to get paid,

I will definitely pay you your wages.

- Fighting! - Fighting.

Manager, see you.

Listen, I put in a lot of effort

to apply for this rehearsal room.

This is also where China's greatest rock band rehearsal room will be created.

Do you see this? We're here!

You two will witness such a critical moment.

I really envy you guys who came to know me at such a young age.

That's not right.

135, that's right.

How... How can we practice here?

We can't practice here!

I'm going to ask the university's management office.

Big Huang, we've waited a long time in order to get this rehearsal room.

If you were to re-apply, it depends on whether the university approves it.

Even if it's approved, how long would we have to wait?

What else can we do? We can't practice here!

This room only looks shabby right now.

After we clean it up a bit and move all the instruments,

it'll look desirable.

That's right.

Clean it up?

Just the three of us?

Where are your bassist and drummer? Ask them to help.

You mustn't tell them!

If they find out that it's such a shabby room,

I'll lose my face.

Come on, let's clean it up together.

I was invited to visit

the greatest band's rehearsal room.

Not to clean.

I still have something to do, so I'm leaving. Bye bye.

Stop right there! Stop!

You're not loyal enough.

I usually help you whenever you ask me.

How am I not loyal enough?

I really have something urgent this time.

Did you forget?

The convenience store.

- That's right. - Okay, okay. I understand.

Go, go. Just go.

Wait for me.

I'll finish soon and return to help you clean.

Okay, I'll wait for you.

I'm leaving. Wait for me.

You only know how to help Xia Xiaoju.

Putting girls before friends.

Leave it!

Don't move! Don't move!

Be careful or else you'll fall.

What're you doing?

Leave such laborious work to men like me.

How can I let my girlfriend take such a risk.

Let me do it.

Do you sell pistachios here?

You're here.

Xia Xiaoju, if I was your boss, I would've fired you a long time ago.

With such a long face, you don't even know to smile when you see a customer.

You're scaring the customers away.

If you're the boss,

I wouldn't work for you because you're Exploiter Zhou. (T/N: Fictional landlord who imitated a chicken's wake up call to get his workers to wake up earlier for work.)

My surname is Lu.

If I really am, then I should be Exploiter Lu.

Don't slack off. Hurry and get to work, Worker Xia.

Aren't I already working right now?

When did I slack off?

I'm so hungry.

Are you hungry?

What are you doing? Why are you opening it here?

There are people over there.

What? It's not like I'm not going to pay for it!

You're even eating it now.

Try one. It's really good.

No, thanks.

It feels like I'm a thief eating in the store.

Why don't you stop eating it, too?

It's not good.

Look, what if you're seen by them?

So what?

Is there a rule that you can't eat in the store?

I've already paid for it.

I can eat it wherever and whenever I want.

Okay, you eat it.

Do you really not want to try one? This is really good.

No, thanks.

I'll block it for you like this. This way, others won't see you eating.

Is it yummy?

Turn around.

If you eat it this way, others definitely won't see you.

Take it.

These biscuits are really yummy.

I want to take some back to campus later.

Then you continue eating. I'll help you with work.

Okay.

Where do I put these?

Behind you.

There.

Yummy!

[Yangyang Convenience Store]

Datu, thank you for helping me today.

Just saying that, it is not enough.

How will you thank me?

Will you promise yourself to me?

Once I get paid, I'll buy anything you want.

I have no money right now.

Then I have a way so you won't have to spend your money. Do you want to hear it?

What is it?

The college basketball league competition is coming up soon.

How about you help me train passing the basketball starting tomorrow?

Then it's settled.

If I can't pass it well, you can't blame me.

Okay. I promise not to beat or scold you.

Then I promise to come on time tomorrow.

These are too heavy so I'm not going to bring them back.

Keep them to eat and replenish yourself.

Otherwise, you won't have strength to pass the balls tomorrow.

No need. Keep them for yourself.

Just take them.

I really don't need it. You—

I'm leaving now. Bye bye!

Bye.

Hello, Xiaoju.

Hello, Lin You.

Tonight my boyfriend wants to treat you to dinner

at Jiangnan Pavilion at 7:00 p.m.

Tonight...

T-Tonight I need to read and review lessons.

You can read anytime.

Just this night.

It's settled then.

See you at Jiangnan Pavilion at 7:00 p.m.

Lin You! Lin You!

What will I do when I see them both later tonight?

Xiaoju, come here.

Xiaoju, this is my boyfriend Yuan Ancheng.

Nice to meet you, Xiaoju.

Nice to meet you.

You are Lin You's boyfriend?

That's right.

- Sorry that I was late. - I'm so hungry!

It's okay. We also just arrived.

- Hurry up! Hurry up! - Let's go.

Xia Xiaoju? Lin You?

What a coincidence!

Where are you going?

We're just going to dinner with the basketball team.

You guys go ahead and order first.

- Okay, let's go! - We'll be going first.

- See you. - Bye.

He's Lu Shiyi.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Cheng Lang.

He's Cheng Lang.

I told you last time that he helped me a lot with my group work.

Since that's the case, let's eat together.

It's on me.

No, thanks. We still have something to do later.

You guys don't need to be so polite.

You guys helped Lin You a lot.

I must treat you guys to dinner.

Mr. Yuan, all of your dishes have been served.

Thanks.

Lin You, when did you get a boyfriend?

We've known each other for so long, and yet we didn't even know.

Ancheng and I met when we were young.

I chose Jiangzhou University for him.

Before, he was in piano competitions abroad.

This time, he won a gold medal and just returned to China two days ago.

He wanted to treat Xiaoju to dinner so we chose this place.

Did you know? Cheng Lang is also my childhood friend.

He's always a straight A student and extremely smart

that he didn't take one of the exams and still got into Jiangzhou University's first-tier major.

Really? That's quite impressive.

The only thing I like since young was playing the piano,

just like Lin You who only likes dancing.

Her love for dancing is also because of me, right?

She said the happiest thing for her

is when she's dancing to my accompaniment.

By the way, what songs do you usually play in competitions abroad?

I... I know Chopin.

This time I played the Grieg concerto,

accompanied by a Temirkanov-directed Baltimore orchestra.

- T-Te... What ir? - Temirkanov.

He's a famous Russian conductor

who became the Music Director of St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra since 1988.

That's right.

This is his first year as Music Director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

I'm not really familiar with it.

The conductor that you mentioned, does he move the baton like this?

Did you burn yourself?

Thanks.

- Are you okay? - I'm fine. - Lin You.

I'm sorry, I was too careless. Did it burn you?

It didn't. It wasn't too hot.

It's not a big deal. You guys continue eating.

Cheng Lang, when Lin You's family had a hard time a while back,

she said that you helped her a lot.

Here's to you.

Thanks for helping her.

It's something I should be doing.

Lin You is also our friend.

Here.

Here. Let me give you another toast for coming back and winning a medal.

Congratulations.

All right, thank you.

Don't just drink, eat some food, too.

That's right.

Cheng Lang, eat some.

- Come, let's continue. - Me too. Let's all drink together.

- Okay. - Stop drinking and eat something.

It's okay. Let go of yourself and just drink.

I'll carry you back if you're drunk.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

It's not like you didn't know he collapses after one drink.

Why didn't you stop him?

He wasn't in a good mood. If he wants to drink, just let him drink. Isn't that right?

What happened between Lin You and him?

Weren't they together at the library yesterday?

I thought they were together already.

Let me tell you, Xiaoju.

I was with Lin You that day for our group work.

We aren't together.

She rejected me.

What are you doing?

Shiyi, that Yuan Ancheng and Lin You are a good match.

They're a match made in heaven.

The stuff they talked about, those piano concerto

and classical music... I couldn't even get a word in.

You just happen to not know about these things.

Everyone has something he or she doesn't know, right?

But the things that you do know is as many as there are stars. You can't even count them all, you know?

- The stars in the sky? - That's right!

There are no stars in the sky.

Let's go, idiot.

Shiyi, let me ask you.

What do you think of me?

What? What do you mean what I think of you?

Am I good?

Good, you're good. Of course, you're good.

You're handsome and excellent. Right?

Then... Then do you like me?

Of course, I like you. Let's go, let's go!

Then why doesn't Lin You like me?

- She... - Cheng Lang.

Xiaoju, do you like me?

I...

You hesitated, Xiaoju!

- She hesitated. She doesn't like me. - It's enough that I like you. Let's go, let's go!

- I'll sleep with you tonight. - No, you can't. You're too stinky today.

Xiaoju! Xiaoju!

Come here quickly!

Stop calling and give me a hand. Hurry!

How much did he drink?

Unbelievable! (T/N: Literally "the sun rose from the west" to indicate the impossible happened.)

Hold onto him. Carry him to the bed first.

I'll go and get some hot water. Hurry.

- Okay. - Be careful!

How much did you drink?

Sorry! I'm sorry!

Lie down.

Here.

He's bleeding, Shiyi!

Does it hurt, Cheng Lang?

Hurry up! Band-Aid, hurry!

Here's the Band-Aid.

How much did he drink?

Tell me, what can you actually do?

I didn't do it on purpose.

It's not like you don't have girls chasing after you.

You have so many girls liking you.

Can't you let go knowing she already has a boyfriend?

Why are you so idiotic?

Isn't someone also the same?

Also stupid.

♫ There you are, running wildly through the highlands ♫

♫ No one is able to understand you ♫

♫ Happiness is not transparent and pain is not thorough ♫

♫ I'm glad you're not willing to give up like this ♫
