DORMITORY NUMBER 3

What's wrong?

Are you unhappy?

Do you not want to leave?

I haven't finished my work yet,

but the app must be submitted by tomorrow.

Don't worry.

Li Xun is quite capable.

It won't be delayed.

Dad,

do you also think he is reliable?

How do I explain it?

Sometimes, men's hunch is right.

He's good.

But how did you know where the base is?

Did Mom tell you?

No wonder you happened to have a meeting here.

Mom really went too far.

But you must have seen

that I was really working there.

Yes.

You were indeed busy at work

and even bought many medicines.

Dad.

Remember this, Yunyun.

I found you in your classroom during your party lecture.

Understood?

Yes.

I want to spend the Lunar New Year happily.

Xiuzhu.

I almost didn't recognize you.

It has been a while, Zhu Yun.

Your study abroad has not been in vain.

It has been a while, Mr. Zhu.

You're all grown-up.

Let me get it.

Okay.

Xiuzhu reassures you.

I'm flattered.

Yunyun is also excellent.

-Ms. Jiang. -About the…

-Yunyun. -Hurry up.

You haven't seen Ms. Jiang for four years.

When she knew you were coming back,

she suggested we have dinner together.

-She favors you. -You are exaggerating.

Yunyun, this is your New Year gift.

I'm already in university. Do I still get a New Year gift?

Of course.

I specially chose

a water flosser in pastel colors for you.

It looks good and has a good cleaning function.

-Let me see. -Do you like it?

Ms. Jiang, you have good taste.

My classmate has one

and I was going to buy one.

Really?

Come to have dinner.

All right. Let's go.

Let's have dinner.

Yunyun, sit next to Xiuzhu.

Then you can catch up.

-Okay. -I'll sit next to you.

Come on.

Thank you.

-Thank you. -There are so many dishes.

-Mom. -Thank you.

One more dish and soup haven't been served.

There's more to come.

Look.

It feels like we just send them

to elementary school yesterday.

But they're in university now.

Yes, it's still vivid in my mind.

-Make room for this. -Okay.

Here's the soup.

-Move it here. -Do you remember?

Back then, they competed eating chicken wings.

And Yunyun won at last, right?

But Yunyun was almost sent to the hospital,

-because she stuffed herself. -Why didn't he reply?

-Is he better? -Do you remember it?

What?

We're talking about that contest.

You ate over 50 chicken wings.

Stop.

I'm so ashamed of that.

It was glorious.

You shouldn't feel ashamed.

-Come on. -Okay, come on.

-A toast to your return. -Here.

-Thank you, Mr. Zhu. -Welcome back.

What's up? University problems?

No.

Whose message are you waiting for?

I'm checking my scores.

The final exam results may be released today.

You must be number one again.

No. There's a top scorer in the college entrance exam in my class.

He's awesome.

The scores of your subjects are all high.

"An Introduction to the Basic Principles of Marxism,"

97 marks.

I'm only three marks short.

Only three marks.

Your score is high enough.

After all, the world isn't perfect either.

What's his score?

Yunyun,

you need to learn from Xiuzhu.

Many of his paintings

are exhibited around the world.

Yes.

Two days ago,

his painting was exhibited in the municipal art gallery.

I went there.

Did you go there?

Xiuzhu,

you didn't tell me.

We didn't meet each other.

Didn't you say

that you had no time to go?

It's delicious.

Dad.

She went there today.

After I picked Yunyun up,

we especially took a detour

to the art gallery

and saw your large…

-Poster. -Yes, your large poster.

-It's very tall. -We were there.

Yes, thank you for your support.

Well,

I hope Yunyun can also

go abroad to further her studies.

What she majors in is not important.

What's important is to go abroad to expand her horizons, right?

If you have any questions about going abroad,

you can ask us about it anytime.

If you really plan to do it, you have to get prepared early.

I'm just a freshman. I haven't thought about it yet.

You can ask Xiuzhu

whether studying abroad is good or not.

Xiuzhu,

is the moon really fuller abroad?

The moon

is the same abroad.

However, foreign food

is definitely worse than the food of our hometown.

Especially the food you cooked.

It can surpass those Chinese restaurants abroad.

He praises my cooking skill.

-He is telling the truth. -I'm flattered.

Your cooking skills are getting better and better.

You must have been cooking at home these years.

-Should I send him another message? -Seriously.

AUTOMATIC TEST PLATFORM TEST PROGRESS: 100% COMPLETED

LI XUN

ZHU YUN: ARE YOU BETTER? DO YOU STILL HAVE A FEVER?

Is your cough getting better?

Our results have been released.

I got 97 marks for Marxism.

XIUZHU

Did he fall ill?

LI XUN

Why is your score higher than mine?

Hello?

Hello?

It's me.

I know.

Are you feeling better?

You fool.

The cold medicine you bought me

treats the wind-heat common cold,

but I'm having a wind cold.

I almost died from your medicine.

I'm sorry.

How did you manage it?

I got someone to send the right medicine.

That's good.

Have you had dinner?

Yes.

Who sent you the medicine?

I should thank them.

Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi?

Didn't she go home?

She came back.

Why?

To send me the medicine.

I'm hanging up.

I have something to do.

Wait. Did she also send you dinner?

Hello?

This is bad.

I shouldn't have underestimated my enemy.

Zhu Yun,

you're so different

that you don't go to the shopping mall.

But you come here on New Year's Eve instead.

You hadn't come back for a long time,

so I brought you here to take a look.

Are you interested in this?

It's also a kind of art.

You should have a look.

How much is this?

180 yuan.

Sir,

can you repair this?

It's badly damaged.

How was it damaged?

A car ran over it.

I heard that you have various accessories.

You found the right repairer.

Do you really want to repair this?

It will cost a lot.

How much?

950 yuan.

It's so pricey.

Can't you give a discount?

This is an old lighter.

It's hard to find all its parts.

I would need to disassemble other antiques in my shop

to collect all the parts for you.

This lighter cannot be restored

somewhere else.

Let's go ask around.

No problem. I'll pay you 950 yuan.

Repair it.

When can you get it done?

After the Lunar New Year.

I'm on holiday.

I'll round it up and give you 1,000 yuan,

but I want it by today.

You're domineering, miss.

Okay.

I'll work late for you today.

Take it easy.

I'll wait for you here.

Zhu Yun,

why didn't you bargain?

Instead, you raised the price for him.

You also heard it.

Only he can restore the lighter.

The others can't do it.

Whose lighter is that?

My classmate's.

Such an important classmate?

Just an ordinary classmate.

Hello?

Hello, it's me.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I'm calling to ask about the Blue Crown app.

Have you submitted it?

Yes.

Tonight is New Year's Eve.

Are you still at the university?

No.

Are you at home?

No.

Where are you?

Li Xun, hurry up!

We need to get on the bus.

Okay.

Are you with Liu Sisi?

We're going back on the same bus.

Anything else?

You two…

Bye.

Hello?

Hello?

-Is this okay? -No.

The left side is lower.

-The left side is lower. -Move it upward.

Like this?

-Liu Sisi. -No.

-She just posted a photo. -Move it upward.

-Put it higher. -Is he behind her?

-Yes. -Are you sure?

Yes.

No. His hairstyle doesn't look like this.

I think it's almost horizontal.

You're not helping me at all.

Let me take a look.

Yunyun, give me a hand.

-Dad. -What if I fall?

We can't have a happy new year.

-Watch out. -You only played with your phone.

You should be blamed.

Look. Is it slanted?

Yes, it is.

-Which side is slanted? -Yes.

This side?

A small number of foreigners

are still biased against Chinese people.

LI XUN

It doesn't matter.

-Those who can adapt overseas -Is that him?

-eventually come back. -Did he go or not?

-They can adapt anywhere. -Where are they celebrating?

Right?

He's not replying again.

At present,

many students don't go abroad to further their study.

They only go for a diploma.

Of course.

Not everyone can do what Xiuzhu does.

However, given Yunyun's major,

I think she should go abroad

to broaden her international horizons.

Am I right?

Don't play with your phone.

Talk about

how you think about going abroad.

It's good to stay in China.

For our major, practice is very important.

It's also good to work early.

Well, you're wrong.

If you major in Applied Technology abroad,

you could join major companies such as Microsoft

and Google in the future.

It's better than studying here

and then joining a small company.

Right?

Those who have been educated abroad

really have good taste.

Look at this plate picked by Xiuzhu today.

The dumplings look superior on it, right?

You are exaggerating.

He bought it casually

while I waited for the lighter to be repaired.

It's common.

Why do you have a lighter?

What's more,

why does a lighter need to be repaired?

Show it to me.

The New Year's Gala will begin soon.

Repair…

It has been a while since…

Is that him?

That's impossible.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Why are you going to the bathroom during dinner?

Did I see it wrongly?

LI XUN

CALL

Hello?

Hello?

Happy New Year.

Happy holidays.

Have you and Liu Sisi arrived home?

Not yet.

It's late. Why haven't you arrived home?

Who told you I went home with her?

Where are you then?

It's snowing.

Li Xun,

was that you just now?

How do you know where I live?

I've been here before.

Then wait for me.

Yunyun, where are you going?

I've cut the apples you want. Eat up.

Well, Mom,

I'm going to fetch a parcel.

You stay inside. I'll go. It's very cold.

-No need. -Nonsense.

No deliveryman is on duty on New Year's Eve.

I'm going to see if it's snowing heavily.

It is snowing heavily.

Don't go.

You just had dinner.

How about this?

Eat the apple first.

Let's go and enjoy it after playing cards.

Have some first.

How many cards do you have?

Two.

I win again.

That's so unlucky.

Yunyun, you're so absent-minded

that you haven't won even once.

How can I win with you as my rival?

I agree.

You're the landlord in our family.

Why is he silent?

So you always fight against me?

Come on.

-Another round. -Another round?

-No. I'm sleepy. -Are you still there?

I'm sleepy.

Sleepy? I'm bored.

The Lunar New Year is getting more and more boring.

We can't even play mahjong.

I'm almost frozen to death.

What's up?

-What's up? -Dad, Mom.

I'm taking out the trash.

Slow down.

Hello, I'm outside. Where are you?

Miss, it has been snowing so heavily,

but you only come out now.

Have you come to dig out my body?

I'm sorry.

Did you go back?

Do you know where Lihua Hotel is?

The one near this house?

I'm staying there. Come if you're free.

What do you mean?

Hello?

Hello?

Lihua Hotel? Does he want me to go there?

Yunyun.

Why are you taking your sweet time?

Come back inside now.

I'm coming now.

It's freezing.

As a girl, why would I go there?

I'm not going there.

It's so late.

Will he be frightened by my look?

Fine.

I'd better tone it down.

LIHUA HOTEL

LIHUA HOTEL

Triple A plus six.

-Bomb. -Bomb.

What's going on?

Did she come for you?

You're finally here.

Will we go on?

Will we go on?

Will we go on?

Can we still go on?

This girl is pretty.

-She's very pretty. -Yes.

Well, you guys can continue.

Go then.

You have good taste.

Let's go.

-Don't stand still. Go in. -Go in.

If I leave now,

will you lose face?

Do you want to leave?

I'm thinking about it.

Okay, take your time.

I'm closing the door.

Why are you standing there?

Come and take a seat.

Where should I sit?

Over here.

That is

a single bed.

I asked you to sit,

not lie down.

Did you eat mala soup on New Year's Eve?

So?

Where did Liu Sisi go?

Didn't you go home together?

Did you go through her social media?

You must have combed through it.

I didn't.

Couldn't we go to the station together?

I specially came here for you.

Hey.

Yes?

Are you leaving?

Don't you want your red packet?

Red packet? Why are you giving me one?

I received the advance payment today,

so I'm here to pay for your work.

You'll be satisfied.

It's so thin.

You're stingy.

Open it and have a look.

It will be your payroll card.

Does it have a password?

My birthday.

What a narcissist.

Do you like it?

I like this gift very much.

Thank you.

That is not a gift.

It's your pay.

This is your gift.

What is this?

Open it and have a look.

Try it on.

Where can I try it on?

LIHUA HOTEL

Is…

Is there something wrong?

Don't hold your abdomen in.

You're not fat.

Why are you blushing?

I'm blushing because of the heat.

I didn't switch on the heater.

This dress looks good.

A princess

should wear a dress.

I'm going to wash my face.

How do I give him this?

How will you thank me?

Let's set off some fireworks.

Okay.

I'll go buy some.

-Okay. -That's good.

Okay.

How much?

Well, pay me 200 yuan.

200 yuan?

-Okay. -Okay.

-Thank you. -Have fun then.

-I'm going to play cards. -Okay.

Zhu Yun.

Zhu Yun.

I bought some.

What kind of fireworks do you want to see?

I want those

that will blow up in the air.

What?

I want those

that will blow up in the air.

Your description is vivid.

It's this one then.

Wait a minute. I need to borrow a lighter.

I have one.

Do you have a lighter?

Catch it.

What a good repairer.

It must have been hard to repair it.

It's so-so.

Your Highness.

Thank you.

I gave you this in return.

Don't misunderstand anything.

Are you ready?

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year, Li Xun!

Happy New Year!

Your eyelashes are so long.

What do you want to do?

Good night.

Yunyun,

get up.

Why are you still in bed?

You didn't stay up late yesterday.

Sleepyhead,

rise and shine.

It's a nice day.

Hurry up.

Get up and get changed.

We're going for house visits.

YOU RECEIVED A MESSAGE

I'm going back to the university. See you on campus.

See you on campus.

BLUE AND WHITE COFFEE HOUSE

I remember

you liked drinking taro milk tea in the past.

Thank you.

But I prefer coffee now.

Sometimes, we like to pretend to be mature.

Xiuzhu,

how long can you stay this time?

What's up?

I have a long vacation.

I have more than a month left.

Are you curious about our local universities?

How about I show you around my university?

Our university

is one of the leading universities in China.

And its painting major is very famous

among art academies.

If you didn't go abroad,

you might not have gotten in.

Don't say so.

I must be a lousy artist.

I didn't mean that.

It's an honor to invite such an excellent artist as you

to our university.

You've changed.

Something must have happened.

Nothing happened.

How about this?

I'll treat you to a good meal near my university

with my red-packet money.

I smell something.

What?

A plot.

Just…

Just do me a favor.

Okay.

It's rare for you

to treat me.

Well then,

when do you want to leave?

I'll help you.

Thank you

for allowing Zhu Yun to go with me.

I'm sorry for bothering you during the Lunar New Year.

Let me tell you.

Local and foreign universities

are greatly different

in both educational concepts

and campus atmosphere.

Yunyun can show you

around Nanhu University these days.

It's rare for me to have a vacation.

I planned to stay at home for a few days.

If I go to the university,

I'll have no time to come back.

It's rare for Xiuzhu to come back.

Go with him

and then research your lessons

for the next semester.

Listen.

You must be self-disciplined.

Or else you can't study abroad due to your bad grades.

How about Xiuzhu go by himself?

I disagree.

You can take this opportunity

to ask him about some affairs,

such as the channel of publishing articles.

Am I right?

I just want to stay with you for a few more days.

Your university is not far.

If I miss you, I can go and see you any time.

Go ahead.

I'm leaving, Mom.

Go ahead.

Mrs. Zhu, see you.

Drive slowly.

What an expert.

You wanted to go

but pretended to be reluctant.

I learned this from you.

After all, you're good at pretending to be well-behaved

in front of parents.

Okay, I can give you a discount on tuition.

I really want to learn

how to please my mom.

However,

it's a rare gift.

You cannot simply acquire it.

That makes sense.

You seem to have a gift for pleasing my mom.

You two are very compatible, right?

All right, lead the way.

Thank you.

NANHU UNIVERSITY

Thank you, Xiuzhu.

Can you find a hotel later?

No way.

Are you asking me to leave right away?

If I'm free tomorrow,

I'll definitely show you around.

It's too late now and you must be tired from driving.

Zhu Yun,

are you sure you have no use for me anymore?

Why don't we go have something at the canteen?

You're back.

The preliminary Information Security Competition

will be held at Information Technology University.

Hello, I'm Xu Lina

from this university's Applied Technology Department.

I'm also a freshman.

Hello, Li Xun. I've long heard of your name.

Sorry, I'm very busy.

Let's welcome Fang Zhijing, winner of the Special Attention Award

to come onto the stage

and press the crystal ball with us.
