All language subtitles for Genius Girlfriend Episode 6

[Genius Girlfriend]

[Episode 6]

You really need to change this habit

of walking away while someone is talking.

But it's good

that you knew to come home.

If one day you really run away,

what should I do?

Wouldn't that be great?

You wouldn't have to see me
and get annoyed.

Just now,

on my way back,

I actually passed by my old normal school.

When I graduated
as a kindergarten teacher,

being assigned to the Children's Palace

was quite an honor.

But I wasn't a teacher.

I worked in logistics.

Back then, the people in our unit

mostly got married and had kids

in their twenties.

So all of you kids
are about the same age.

When kids got together,

it was all about comparing.

I was young then

and quite vain.

I already felt

inferior to the teachers,

and I was terrified you'd be outshined.

Thinking about it now,

I projected all my unfulfilled ambitions

onto you.

Tingting.

You said several times earlier

that you embarrassed me.

You embarrassed me.

I suddenly realized

that I seem to

have never given you
any positive affirmation.

But

during the competition just now,

I clearly felt so proud.

My daughter got into

the experimental class
of the best high school.

My daughter won second place
in the provincial competition.

My daughter has accomplished
so many things

that I could never possibly do.

But why...

why did I never tell her?

But I really did perform poorly today.

I didn't answer a single one
of my individual questions correctly.

I really envy Lin Zhixia.

She is the perfect child in adults' eyes.

Her parents must be very proud of her,

having such an excellent daughter.

Unlike me,

who only disappoints you every time.

Tingting.

I am also very proud.

I have always been proud of you.

Really?

Really.

You know what?

In the competition just now,

oh my goodness,

you were standing
with so many impressive people.

I suddenly felt

that my daughter has grown up.

But I'm always stuck in the past,

when you were following me around

calling "Mom."

But

I don't know since when

I've struggled to understand what you say.

I also don't know what you like anymore.

But the more I try to know your thoughts,

the further you want to hide.

Tingting.

I want to say sorry to you.

I know my temper can be awful sometimes.

And what I say isn't pleasant to hear.

But...

I was just worried.

You came home,

shut your door,

and even wore headphones while eating.

I really had no choice.

I could only talk to you

about your studies and your health.

It's my fault.

I have to learn

to accept...

to accept that my daughter

is going to have her own world.

Her world will get bigger and bigger,

but I will get smaller and smaller in it.

My baby will leave me sooner or later.

I won't leave you.

You won't leave even when you grow up?

No.

Okay.

You will always be my little baby.

Even when I'm old,
I'll still be your old baby.

[Congratulations to!]

[All contestants achieved
outstanding results in]

[the Nanhai Rising Star Math Competition.
The list of winners is as follows:]

[First Prize]
[Jiang Yubai, Jin Baihui, Duan Qiyan]

[Second Prize]
[Lin Zhixia, Shen Fuxuan, Tang Tingting]

Have you heard?

Lin Zhixia's team came in second
in the math competition.

So even geniuses fail sometimes.

I watched that match.

She was so arrogant,

only caring about showing off.

Ladies and gentlemen,

good morning!

Here comes
the provincial first-prize winner.

Don't call me that.

It makes us sound like strangers.

If you ask me,

Duan Qiyan didn't ride
his bike here today;

he floated here.

You're definitely right about that.

My pockets haven't been this full
in a long time.

Your dad's mood

is really unstable.

What do you know?

This is called being clear
about rewards and punishments.

[Constantly Strive to Become Stronger;
Strive to Be Number One]

I'm treating everyone
to McDonald's after school today.

Contestants

and you guys

all have to come.

-You hear me? Let's celebrate.
-Okay.

-I'm in.
-I'm in.

Let's go together after school.

Alright.

Here comes the snack bucket.

I ordered per person.

You guys eat first.

If it's not enough,

give me the coupons,

and I'll order more for everyone.

For today's meal,

I'm paying.

That's awesome.

You're really bleeding money today.

This is fancier than the meal
you had for your birthday.

Of course.

This gathering for Class 1

is of great significance.

Why do I say that?

Our school can be said to be

the ever-victorious general
in this competition.

The Provincial Experimental School
got first place in the preliminary.

Did they really think

they could shake

our ruling position?

How is that possible?

Not to mention the championship,

they didn't even get the runner-up.

We are just too strong.

Everyone, give us a round of applause!

-Come on.
-Come on.

But to be honest,

the provincial first prize title
the three of you hold

is still quite useful.

Winning it in your freshman year

means you can take
the independent recruitment exams

of top universities

in your sophomore and junior years.

You might even get
a recommendation for admission.

This has always been my goal.

It seems that hard work pays off.

I don't expect a provincial first prize.

The points I accumulated
for the second prize

are enough to keep my mom
happy for months.

In that case,

let's all make a toast.

To celebrate our best experimental class,

sweeping the top two spots
in the competition.

What do you say?

Come on, cheers!

Don't forget,

we should also congratulate

our best player.

Yes, right.

Lin Zhixia is definitely the MVP,

like a final boss.

Come on, let's toast!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

This is delicious.

Try this.

Okay.

Tissues. Tissues.

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

-This one?
-Try this.

Which one? This?

-Yes.
-Do you want it? I'll eat it if you don't.

I also want...

What?

A leg.

If you don't eat it, I will.

Seriously.

You love eating that much?

Duan Qiyan, you got lucky.

Even though your grades
are better than ours,

getting a provincial first prize
is a bit much.

You do it if you can.

Let me tell you,

I was a top seed

that the champion
and runner-up teams fought over.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Am I invisible to you?

That's treason.

Screw you. I don't care.

I'm the champion anyway.

Okay, okay.

Since Mr. Duan is paying today,

let's give the champion
a round of applause.

Come on.

Mr. Duan is always right today.

I have something to do
at home. I'll get going.

Okay, be careful on the road.

See you on Monday. Bye-bye.

Let's play basketball later.

Definitely.

I'll spot you one hand this time

and see if you can score.

Alright.

Your dad called this morning.

He wanted to congratulate you

for winning first place.

I knew you wouldn't want to talk to him,

so I told him you were sleeping.

He must be bored.

Doesn't he have anything to care about

in his new family?

His younger son can't even speak yet.

Of course, he finds it easier
to interact with you.

It's better not to talk.

I am not sure

what I might say to him now.

I am

not speaking for him.

I just feel

that this whole blood tie thing

is quite fascinating.

You know your dad.

No one can handle him.

But with you,

he is really humble.

He asked me to tell you

that

when you are in a good mood,

give him a call,

or a message is fine too.

You have no idea.

Being a parent for the first time,

the bond he shares with his child

can never be severed.

So—

Let's talk about it later.

Why the long face?

You got first place in the competition.

Shouldn't you be happy?

Hello.

Hello, Auntie.

I'm looking for Lin Zhixia.

I'm her classmate.

Zhixia is not home.

She went out early in the morning

and hasn't come back yet.

What is your name?

I'll tell her when she gets back.

That's okay.

It's nothing important.

Thank you, Auntie.

Lin Zhixia.

Time for school, Lin Zhixia.

You are still in bed?

I took sick leave.

Do I not know if you are sick or not?

If you don't get up, I'm coming in.

What's wrong?

I have a fever, Zeqiu.

Remember to ask for sick leave for me.

A fever?

You are not even as hot as me.

You just don't want to go to school.

Leave me alone.

Is it really necessary, Lin Zhixia?

It's just one competition
you didn't win first place in.

What's the big deal?

You just have never lost before.

You can't even handle a little setback.

In this world,

you are not the only smart person.

You will meet many people
smarter than you in the future,

and you will experience
a lot of setbacks and failures.

If you can't even handle this,

what will you do later?

If I had a mindset like yours,

I would have broken down long ago.

This is a lesson you must go through.

Come on, get up.

Leave me alone!

I-I was just trying to reason with you.

You don't understand anything.

I... I didn't say anything harsh.

I'm going to school then.

I left the milk here.

Remember to drink it when you get up.

Okay, let's go to the second one.

[Constantly Strive to Become Stronger;
Strive to Be Number One]

People don't need to worry because...

A, B, C, D, E.

Who knows the right answer?

Hello.

Hello.

Lin Zhixia, it's me.

Shen Fuxuan?

What's up?

Why didn't you come to class today?

Are you sick?

I have a bit of a headache,

but I'm fine.

My dad bought
some headache medicine before.

It works really well.

Do you want me to bring you some?

No need. I'm almost recovered.

I'll let you know if I need it.

Okay.

Get some rest then.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

If Mr. Kong finds out you skipped class,

he will be furious.

You should go back.

No need.

I asked for leave.

You didn't come to school all day.

I was quite worried.

I'm fine.

I'll adjust on my own.

If you're unhappy about anything,

you can tell me.

I thought since we became opponents,

we wouldn't chat like this anymore.

Actually, these past few days,

I've been quite conflicted.

Speaking of which,

since I met you,

this is the first time I've won.

Logically speaking,

I should be very happy.

After all, I achieved my goal
through my own hard work.

But after that, when facing you,

I became much more sensitive than before.

After the competition that day,

I noticed you were acting strangely.

But I didn't know how to comfort you.

I was afraid you'd think
I was showing off.

These past few days,
I've been trying to figure out

what is bothering me.

Is it that a former good friend
became an opponent?

Or was it because my poor decision

led to the loss of the competition?

It seems to be neither.

Then what is it?

It's that I've been trying
so hard to fit in,

yet it's always so difficult to do so.

From the very beginning,
no one wanted to team up with me.

If it weren't for your help,

I probably wouldn't have been able
to gather enough teammates.

When Tang Tingting joined later,

I really wanted to lead her to victory.

I thought by doing so,

the two of us could become

closer friends.

Moreover, the math competition

is my forte.

But I still messed it up.

A competition actually
consists of many factors.

Tang Tingting had her own takeaways too.

So you don't need
to care too much about it.

Yeah.

Everyone had takeaways

and achieved something.

I only have a strong sense of frustration.

I don't know why.

I've been trying so hard

to fit into the group

and be friendly to everyone.

Yet people just won't accept me.

They just wait to see me fall,

and then mock me,
saying a genius is nothing more than this.

Even though I pretend
not to care on the outside,

every targeted attack

and every look of rejection—

I can feel them all.

Sometimes I think

if I wasn't in this class,

would it be better for everyone?

So this is why you are upset.

Let's go.

Where to?

You'll see when we get there.

I want to prove something to you.

Remember this place?

The box we buried here when we were kids.

Jiang Yubai, do you know
about time capsules?

Time capsules?

Let's write down our wishes.

When we get to junior high,
we'll come back and open the capsules,

okay?

We were supposed

to open the box in junior high,

but you left suddenly.

Let's dig it out now.

Why are we digging it up today?

Don't you understand

what your presence means to the class?

What does that have to do with the box?

The answer is on that note.

Found it.

Be best friends
with Jiang Yubai forever.

Become a genius
as excellent as Lin Zhixia.

Actually, this has always been
my true thought,

but I'm always misunderstood
by people around me.

They think I see you as an enemy,

and that I hate Lin Zhixia.

You thought so too
during the competition, didn't you?

But I just see you as my goal

and as

the person I want to be.

In elementary school,

no one really understood,

but it's much better now.

Because in the experimental class,

everyone is a top student,

and no one wants to lose.

You must often feel

the hostility around you.

Some is obvious,

and some is hidden.

So you often get hurt

and start to doubt
the meaning of your existence.

I think,

in the end, it's because

most people in our class

want to be as excellent as you.

Really?

Yeah.

You are like a bellwether,

setting the height of everyone's goals.

With Lin Zhixia here,

everyone in the experimental class

becomes a better person.

Then can I only be their goal,

not their good friend?

I also want to have
a wonderful high school life.

I want to have a group of close friends.

We can go to the library together,

share snacks,

do some crazy and romantic things,

go to places no one has ever been,

talk about our dreams,

and study side by side.

Actually, when we teamed up
for the competition,

I had many precious experiences.

I thought it was a good start

and that I would slowly make good friends

and slowly fit into the group.

I didn't expect to mess it up again.

You must believe

that this is a good start.

And never be afraid of
having conflicts with others.

Whatever happens,

good or bad,

is an indispensable puzzle piece

in your life story.

I believe

the high school life you long for

will definitely come true.

Don't you want to
be good friends with me forever?

Aren't we good friends?

I mean being good friends with me forever.

I do.

Someone's coming. Hide quickly.
