Where is Li Xun?

Who are you?

Let him go.

I'll wait for you there.

Be careful.

She's strong.

When did you get out?

What's your next plan?

It's not your concern.

Where do you live?

Did you come back to get married?

You two are a perfect match.

Do you know what you are saying?

Zhu Yun.

What I have gone through

has nothing to do with you.

You don't need to feel sorry.

I made it clear three years ago.

Who you're going to be with

has nothing to do with me.

Do you understand?

Li Xun.

What did I do for you to treat me like this?

Back then, I thought you were heartless.

Now, I finally realize

that you are just a jerk.

You think too much.

Time is precious for everyone.

I'm going.

Li Xun.

You haven't changed at all.

I'm sorry, big man.

Bye.

Li Xun.

Is that the girl you mentioned in jail?

She's beautiful, but she's too fierce.

Does she practice tae kwon do?

Why aren't you talking?

-Are you afraid-- -Shut up.

Okay.

Women are unreliable.

Zhu Yun.

Where do you want to go in a hurry?

Aren't we going back to the hotel?

But I have to tell you that it's about 10 km away.

How about this?

It's hard to walk with your heels on.

Let's call a taxi back to the hotel.

If you really want to take a walk,

change your shoes and I'll go with you.

Okay.

TWO MILLION YUAN

That female star is generous.

What a surprise.

I'm sorry, big man.

You should change your bad habit

or you'll be looked down upon.

Return the purse.

Okay.

What's this?

How strange. There's even a key in it.

Here.

Zhu Yun.

I saw how you reacted when you saw him yesterday.

I can't pretend that I don't know anything.

He's still in your heart.

No.

I don't want to compare myself with him.

You two are too different.

You are better than him.

In fact,

he was a jerk most of the time.

It has been three years.

When I went abroad,

I couldn't even hear his name.

I felt sad at the thought of him,

so I studied as hard as I could.

I tried to do all kinds of things so that I couldn't stop.

I thought when I used up my energy,

I wouldn't feel sad.

But gradually,

I found that I was no longer constantly crying

or was unable to fall asleep.

Actually, I didn't do anything special.

I was just living an ordinary life.

Do you still hate him?

This house is newly decorated.

It has good lighting, right?

Okay. We'll rent this house.

Really?

Let's sign the lease.

Make it three months.

What do you do?

Why do you want to know?

I need to know who rents my house.

Our job involves computers.

We're programmers.

Programmers?

You guys don't look like programmers.

What do you think we do?

I can't rent my house to someone with an unclear identity.

Let's go.

Don't insult us.

What…

Such strange people.

You look sneaky. I can tell you're not a good person.

What do you want to do?

Aren't you curious?

He's a murderer

and I get rid of the body.

We were just released from prison.

What else do you want to know?

Do you know what kind of person you introduced to me?

They're so strange.

I'm telling you.

Don't introduce such people to me again.

It's the seventh one.

As I said,

they are the same.

When I was just released from prison,

I wanted to live a normal life too.

But as you can see,

we're abandoned by society

because we were put in jail.

No one sees us as normal.

How about this?

Go abroad with me.

The weather is good abroad

and no one knows us.

We won't be treated unfairly there.

Are you not over your ex-girlfriend?

Hou Ning.

You can leave.

But if you work with me,

I can let you be a dignified person.

Make a choice.

Don't change the subject.

Stop.

All kinds of people live in the neighborhood.

Mind your own business and don't make trouble.

Pay the rent on the 20th of every month.

You have the card number.

Remember to pay on time.

Here is the key.

I'm going.

Call me if you need help.

Come on.

Are we renting such a small house with so much money?

You can rent one by yourself if you don't want to live here.

Clean it up.

I'm going out.

Do I clean it up alone?

Fine, you're the boss.

Ms. Ren, which one would you like to wear?

This outfit.

-You guys go over first. -Okay.

Who sent it here?

Who else can it be?

Where is he?

He couriered it to me.

What? Did you lose anything?

Something old that should've been thrown away.

Are you leaving?

We've handled everything.

We're going back to Linyang tomorrow.

With Tian Xiuzhu?

It's good.

Just take it

as a less satisfactory ending to the story.

I'm going to work.

-Go ahead. -Bye.

Does it look good?

Okay. I'll comb it for you.

TAOTAO MALA SOUP

Have a look and give me some advice.

What do you think, Li Xun?

I think this part is fine.

This part can be improved.

I think it's fine.

NANHU UNIVERSITY

STUDY EXTENSIVELY, PRACTICE EARNESTLY, SEEK IMPROVEMENT CONSTANTLY

No. But he is just gifted.

Is he?

Is he gifted?

-You misunderstood. -Say that again.

-You misunderstood. -Say it.

You misunderstood. I swear.

So what do you mean?

Are you leaving?

Lock the door.

So I can come here freely next time?

NEW SEMESTER

ORIENTATION

Why does it take so long to distribute the textbooks?

-It's too slow. -Yes.

-Are they distributing? -I'm so tired.

-We'll suffer from heatstroke. -Guys, please be patient.

The seniors are counting inside.

It will be our turn soon.

Please be patient, okay?

Fang Shumiao, you're the acting class monitor.

Go urge them.

-Yes. -We're new students.

We'd better not leave a bad impression on the seniors.

Please be patient.

-It will be our turn soon. -It's so hot.

Thank you.

Even so, you should also care about us.

-We've been under the sun for an hour. -Please be patient.

-It will be our turn soon. -Hang in there.

-Hang in there. -We'll be dehydrated soon.

-Come on. Move forward. -That's right.

Watch out.

Please make way.

Why are you so late?

I am actually very fast.

Come on. Give me the water.

Come on.

-Excuse me. Please make way. -Please make way.

-Have some water. -Have some water.

I bought water for you.

-Come on. -Come on.

-Give me a bottle. -I want one.

-It's fine. -Be careful.

-Everyone gets one. -Here you are.

Who doesn't have one?

Didn't you keep one bottle for yourself?

Did you give me the chance?

Come on. It's just spring water.

I'll give you a bucket of it.

You can drink mine.

What about you?

I drank some water when I came.

Thank you.

Wait.

Give me the water.

Zhu Yun, come.

What?

Hello.

Which class are you in?

Wait outside.

Well…

It's too hot.

I want to give you some water.

Have some water.

Thank you.

Which class are you from?

Applied Technology Class 1.

Where did you go?

She took me to do something bad.

Nonsense.

Gao.

Are all the boys here?

Don't cause any trouble later.

One is missing.

Who?

Is it Li Xun again?

Who else can it be?

Who is Li Xun?

He didn't go to the class meeting or the dormitory.

Does he have some illness?

You all haven't seen him?

No.

Applied Technology Class 1.

-Our class. -Our class.

Okay.

I'll call your names one by one by the student number.

When you hear your name, go inside and take the textbooks.

Please keep absolutely silent.

-Can you do it? -Yes.

Number one, Li Xun.

Isn't Li Xun here?

Who's that?

He's from Applied Technology.

Is Li Xun here?

He's cool.

-He's handsome. -He's handsome.

You're quite handsome, buddy.

Where did he dye his hair?

He's handsome.

Li Xun.

Here.

Are you Li Xun?

He's Li Xun?

He's Li Xun?

-Go. -This is yours.

He is so…

Arrogant.

To be honest,

I don't know whether it's our good luck or bad luck

to have such a strange classmate.

You're just an acting monitor.

Don't worry too much.

After the class monitor election tomorrow,

I will formally become the monitor.

I guess no one is interested

in being the monitor beside you.

It's not an interest.

It's a glorious mission

to serve the whole class devotedly.

I learned it.

What?

Only you can describe empleomania

as a great honor.

DORMITORY NUMBER 3

Is Ren Di doing music again?

I guess so.

That girl

didn't take her textbooks

and we had to take them back for her.

We're roommates.

It's okay.

My arms and legs are so tired.

I love air conditioning.

Ren Di.

Here are your textbooks.

Thank you.

What do we eat for dinner?

Anything is fine.

Be specific.

"Anything" is the most difficult.

Do you need to read the admission handbook for this?

Take a rest, curve wrecker.

The fun of college lies in exploration.

How about we start from the snack street at the back gate?

It's better to eat in the canteen.

The handbook says

eating in the canteen is an important experience of college life.

-I want this and this. -Sir, I want meat, eggs…

Broccoli, tenderloin, and drumstick.

-Here you are. -Okay.

-This one? Okay. -This one.

Where's your food?

I ordered mala soup.

More than 20 people are waiting in line.

I can't get my food for the moment.

Where do we sit?

Over there. Let's go. Quick.

I swear

that I only played games

with my good friends yesterday.

-What are you doing? -Wait.

-You played games for a whole night? -Don't go.

Don't you believe me?

They can be my witnesses.

I don't believe you.

I…

-Wait up. -Come on.

Sit here.

How did you know they were leaving?

When I came in,

I noticed that they were quarreling.

So whatever we do,

we need to learn to observe.

You are right.

Do you want some soup? I'm going to get a bowl.

I have mala soup.

Hello?

Ms. Zhang.

I'm not busy.

What's the matter?

Okay.

Okay.

Hey, this seat is taken.

This seat is taken by Fang Shumiao.

Fang Shumiao, our acting class monitor. Got it?

How does it taste?

Not bad.

If you want to sit here, I can take the seat for you.

Go on.

Well, you can sit there.

Li Xun?

Zhu Yun,

whose meal are you having?

It's mine.

I thought it was too cold here,

so I put your meal over there.

I'm sorry.

We picked the same dishes.

How about you have mine?

Or do you want something else? My treat.

I just went out to answer a phone call.

I didn't expect you would make such a mistake.

Stop laughing.

I'm not laughing.

I mean what I say. The water is for you.

Slow down. Don't get choked.

He's really unreasonable.

It's normal for classmates

to treat each other to a meal.

Or I can pay him back for the meal.

Fang Shumiao.

Hey.

Li Xun.

Li Xun.

It's me, Gao Jianhong.

They call me Gao.

I'm also in Applied Technology Class 1.

You and I live next door.

I'm living in Room 205.

Li Xun.

The student numbers

are based on our admission scores.

I'm number two and you're number one.

I was ranked sixth in the province.

What about you?

Li Xun?

Let's chat.

Li Xun?

Well, I'll leave you to it.

I'll head outside and wait for you.

I'll wait for you.

Taking a shower?

It took you so long.

I see that you like programming. I like it too.

I liked playing computer in junior high school.

I joined the school's coding society when I was in high school.

We should mingle more often.

You don't seem to talk much.

Programming develops so fast now,

like Java and PHP.

They are complicated.

No matter how good a person is,

it's hard to master so many languages.

So I decided to set up a programming interest group

for mutual learning and exchange

so we can learn from each other and improve together.

Are you interested?

No.

Li Xun, please give us a chance to learn from you.

Learning from each other is the most efficient way to learn.

Can I

learn anything from you?

Hello?

In the hospital?

That serious?

Wait. I'll be right there.

Li Xun,

my friend's parents are here.

I was asked to book a room in the hotel

at the south gate.

Room 312.

My friend will take the room card from you later.

My good friend has acute gastroenteritis.

I need to visit him.

I'm giving you the room card.

Remember to pass it.

Gao Jianhong.

DORMITORY NUMBER 7

Li Xun.

This money is for you.

It's you?

South gate, Room 312.

What's this?

Look at it.

Did he give you this room card?

Is Li Xun so proactive?

You're good, Zhu Yun.

What a strange attitude you have.

Yes, you need to show your attitude.

A private room outright?

That's indecent.

Come on.

We're adults. It's acceptable.

What else did he say to you?

He only said Room 312.

Do you think the New Student Handbook will tell you

everything about your life?

I'm checking the map.

"What should I do when a boy asked me out at the start of school?"

There is indeed a hotel outside our school.

You are exposed.

You want to go, right?

Take it.

Take it away.

It doesn't matter.

It's your trophy.

Yes.

In our grade…

No,

among all freshmen,

you're the first one.

Show me your hand.

What?

Your right hand.

I need to see your love line.

I'm going to tattoo one.

You are so dirty.

Wu Mengxing.

You know my name.

You're from Jiangxi.

Yes, my hometown is Baihugou Village,

Yanglin Town, Taihe County, Ji'an City.

And I have a sister.

Okay.

I know you.

I don't like to be disturbed

when I'm coding.

Sorry for disturbing you.

-Well-- -Anything else?

Zhu Yun in our class asked me

to give this to you.

And she has a message.

"Please be self-dignified."

WELCOME

Why didn't you urge me?

Come on.

You are too picky about your dress.

Are you going to take part in the election

or have a blind date?

We're almost ten minutes late.

If I don't get elected because I'm late,

all my previous efforts will be in vain.

You'll get it.

LIFESTYLE REPRESENTATIVE, LEARNING REPRESENTATIVE

Fang Shumiao,

you are even late for the class monitor election.

Don't you want to be the monitor?

I'm sorry, Ms. Zhang.

She overslept from her nap.

Take a seat.

Sit here.

-Go in. -What?

-Move. -Sit down.

Take a seat.

Ms. Zhang is angry.

We'll begin the meeting.

The main purpose of the meeting today

is the class monitor election.

But before the election,

I'd like to introduce a student to you.

He didn't attend military training because he was ill.

Li Xun,

introduce yourself.

Li Xun.

My name is Li Xun.

I got first place in this year's college entrance exam.

You may not know.

Li Xun

is the top scorer in science in our province.

It's him.

All examinees in the province lost to this eccentric guy.

He chose this major

and it fully shows

that this major

has great industry prospects.

I hope all of you

can cherish this opportunity

and study hard

to become people who are useful to society.

Okay.

Next, let's elect the class monitor.

Fang Shumiao.

Fang Shumiao.

Wang Ting.

Fang Shumiao.

Congratulations to Fang Shumiao.

She has officially become

the monitor of Applied Technology Class 1.

Trust me, Ms. Zhang

and my dear classmates.

I will work harder

to complete the tasks from the department

and provide good services for you all.

-Well said. -Okay.

Fang Shumiao, change the blackboard.

Okay.

Next, we'll select

the commissary in charge of studies.

If the cadre group of a class

is compared to the four characters

in the Journey to the West,

the monitor is Tang Sanzang.

The commissary in charge of studies is Sun Wukong

and the student in charge of general affairs is Monk Sha.

Which class cadre is Zhu Bajie?

-She asked you to introduce yourself. -Zhu Bajie.

-Introduce yourself. -Zhu Bajie…

Zhu Yun. My name is Zhu Yun.

I graduated from Linyang Number 1 High School.

-All right. -All right.

Zhu Yun,

are you recommending yourself?

Yes. You can't be late tomorrow.

-How strict. -Of course.

Or my credits will be deducted.

The top scorer in our class

is unique even in the whole country.

Anyway, I've never heard of a top scorer

who has golden hair.

And he seems hard to get along with.

It's not a big deal.

Zhu Bajie is surnamed Zhu.

Your surname is Zhu as well.

Stop looking.

If you keep looking at him, he'll go into your dream.

If so, that would be a nightmare.

Come on.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Two people are absent.

Ren Di didn't come back last night.

The school just began.

She really doesn't obey the rules.

Where's Li Xun?

Why doesn't he come?

He left right after he got up this morning.

I thought he was going to the class.

It's five minutes to seven.

Why haven't they come?

From my understanding,

Li Xun won't attend

the morning self-study.

He must attend it.

The student union members will come for a roll call later.

Our class points will be deducted for absence from morning self-study.

I need to call him.

No answer.

He doesn't reply to my messages.

It's normal.

I sent him a lot of messages

and he never replied.

He didn't reply to me either.

I need to make every possible effort.

He replied.

What did he say?

It's none of your business.

IT'S ALMOST SEVEN. WHERE ARE YOU?

How can he be so rude?

It's good enough that he replied to you.

Are you going to send another text?

I think he needs to be saved.

Our class points will be deducted for absence from morning self-study.

Come now.

It's none of my business.

"It's none of my business."

"It's none of your business."

"It's none of my business."

Li Xun sounds like a philosopher

when he says them.

LI XUN, I HOPE YOU HAVE A SENSE OF COLLECTIVE HONOR.

He even blacklisted me…

No way. Someone.

-Give me your phone. -I don't have his number.

Gao.

Li Xun doesn't reply to Gao either.

He doesn't reply to us.

He's not a normal person.

Is he coming for morning self-study or not?

I think it's a bit too late.

Hello.

Is everyone here?

I'm going to start the roll call.

I hope you freshmen will observe the school rules

and protect the class's collective honor.

Li Xun.

LI XUN, REN DI.

Li Xun is number one. Ren Di is number two.

What are you doing?

Choose one.

These two don't attend morning self-study.

You and I will each be responsible for one of them.

Why should I? I'm not the monitor.

I don't need to be responsible.

It's an urgent task.

I'll treat you to Adao Barbecue.

Or Chunweizhai

even though it's expensive.

No.

Do you want to have Tanggong?

I'll choose it then. I choose the left one.

It's Ren Di.

I'll be responsible for Ren Di.

You'll be responsible for Li Xun's morning self-study.

Our seniors said

that double points will be deducted for absence in the future.

Four points a day.

It's none of my business.

Don't you want to contact Li Xun more

to erase the misunderstanding between you?

It's none of your business.

Can you bear watching me lose the national prize,

the scholarship, and my postgraduate recommendation?

No way.

I'll never speak to him again.

You appear to be a programming expert

who codes on your computer every day.

What if you're just a pretty face?

What's the homework?

I'm coming.

This seems to be a virus.

Li Xun is really a genius.

Will you do it or not?

Since you're worse than me,

you should study hard.
