[Genius Girlfriend]

[Episode 8]

[Noticeboard]

Morning.

[Class Challenge Leaderboard]

Morning, coward.

[Honor List]

Early bird today, huh?

[A New Chapter, A New Journey]

Shen.

Are you still playing the silent game?

I can't even be bothered to talk to you.

Coward.

Morning, Zhixia.

Morning, Tingting.

I dreamt last night

that I got thrown off the pendulum ride.

I couldn't sleep at all last night.

I think I have insomnia.

Maybe you were just too excited from playing during the day.

What happened over the weekend?

That's what you get

for ditching us for piano practice.

So it looks like things are really moving forward

between you and Lin Zhixia.

Fine.

Since you call yourself

a walking encyclopedia,

let me fill you in on the latest gossip.

Lin Zhixia and I are good friends now.

What exactly did I miss?

You guys left me out!

Come in.

Director.

You wanted to see me?

I wanted to

have a chat with you

about your application for the experimental class.

Lin Zeqiu,

I think

you are not quite suitable for the experimental class.

Why?

My grades have already...

I saw your grades.

Look,

your grades this semester have moved up

ten places from last semester.

Excellent! I can see your progress.

But with this much progress, why am I still not getting in?

I know

what you're asking for.

But the school has its own considerations.

You have good grades,

but you're still getting less than half

of the final questions right.

Here, take a look.

Actually, this experimental class

mainly focuses on the final questions.

I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up,

and it would be too hard to catch up.

So,

I'd suggest

skipping the experimental class for now.

Here, take your application back.

Director, I really want to get into the experimental class.

Lin Zeqiu.

Don't get the wrong idea.

Success isn't just about getting into the experimental class.

Say I let you in,

but you can't keep up

and really struggle, what then?

You'd have to transfer back out.

Wouldn't that be a huge blow to your confidence?

Don't you think?

You know Jin Baihui from Grade 10, right?

She got into that elite program in Beijing.

And you know what? She couldn't keep up and had to transfer back.

She even got held back a grade!

Director, please...

Can't you just give me another chance?

Lin Zeqiu.

You are absolutely a promising student.

Just keep up this steady pace,

and you'll definitely get into your dream university.

As for those final questions,

I've found a great teacher to help you out.

May I come in?

Yes, it's Lin Zhixia.

I'll be going now, Director.

Brother, what are you so angry about?

You're a big shot now,

acting like my teacher right in front of the teacher.

I told Director Sui

that you definitely wouldn't let me tutor you.

I only came because he said

he'd talk some sense into you.

Besides, I really can help you with the final questions.

I don't need your help.

Brother, wait.

You left the office in such a hurry.

Director Sui asked me

to return your application for the experimental class.

I don't want it.

Throw it away for me.

Also,

don't call me brother at school.

Lin Zhixia.

Why aren't you going back to class?

Hurry up, you're going to be late.

Let's continue.

Regarding the changes

in this graph,

and the t-axis, specifically

whether v is positive or negative,

does anyone have any questions?

Alright. Now that we're clear on this, let's move on.

The direction of motion

depends on which quadrant it's in.

When v is above the t-axis, it's positive;

and when it's below the t-axis...

Lin Zhixia.

What's

in that envelope?

Nothing.

I saw everything today.

Besides, aren't we best friends?

Can I just take a peek at it?

Sorry, I really can't.

The larger the k value is,

the greater

the acceleration a

it represents.

Lin.

I have a few words I want to say to you.

I don't like

girls who only know how to study.

But I've really liked you for a very long time.

If you think I'm too focused on my studies,

I can change for you.

I'll stop studying, I promise!

No.

No way.

Lin, hold on a second.

This is how I feel.

It's all in the letter.

Please read it carefully.

Just keep it.

And

leave me alone from now on.

Lin Zhixia.

What's wrong?

You look totally spaced out.

It's all because of my brother.

Lin Zeqiu?

Don't point.

He doesn't want me to say he's my brother at school.

Why?

He's just being shy.

I mean, he's annoying too,

but please don't tell anyone he's my brother.

He'll nag me if he finds out.

Why?

Why does he get to decide?

If I had a sister like you,

I'd be shouting it from the rooftops.

But he won't even say you're his sister?

No way.

I'm taking you to confront him.

Confront him?

Right now, while everyone's around during the break.

This

needs to be sorted out once and for all.

Zhixia.

Is that the guy you like?

Don't point.

What if someone notices?

He is really handsome and charming.

Why don't you just go tell him?

There's no time like the present.

Let's do it today.

No.

I'm not ready yet.

Besides, what if I get rejected

in front of all these people?

Come on!

No.

I already promised him.

No, you won't.

Let's go.

I don't want to.

-No. -Come on.

Let's go.

I really can't. He'll be furious if I go over.

Lin Zhixia.

I...

I have a question I can't solve.

Help me take a look.

Lin Zhixia.

Is something bothering you?

No.

I just feel that...

Life is long,

and we will meet many people.

But,

we should do what is appropriate

for our age.

At our age,

the most important thing is studying.

So we can't let anything

interfere with our studies.

Why are you suddenly saying this?

I know that.

Glad you know.

[Astronomy Club Recruitment]

[Astronomy Club Recruitment]

[Astronomy Club Recruitment]

[Astronomy Club]

What is it?

I want to join the astronomy club.

Your reason?

I'm very interested in astronomy.

I've loved watching the stars since I was little.

I've even read

The Flammarion Book of Astronomy.

Really?

Then tell me, last Wednesday night,

what was the brightest star next to the moon called?

Po...

Polaris.

Last Wednesday was a new moon.

You couldn't see the moon at all.

Polaris is always due north.

It can't possibly be next to the moon.

So what exactly is your reason

for joining the astronomy club?

I just want to join.

Everyone can join the astronomy club.

It's my right.

Let me correct you.

Not everyone can join the astronomy club,

but everyone can apply for it.

However, deciding whether someone

is qualified to join

is my duty as the vice president.

Have you heard of that girl named Lin Zhixia?

Yeah, why? What's up with her?

I heard her IQ is super high.

She's been top of her class since she was little,

and she's amazing at mathematical modeling.

Is she?

Isn't our club short of people?

If she could join our club,

at the year-end club selection,

we'd definitely win an award.

She's a good student,

but that doesn't mean she knows anything about astronomy.

Maybe she's just

a naturally gifted all-rounder.

We're an astronomy club,

not a training class.

Not just anyone can join.

Why are you overreacting?

No, I mean,

our recruitment flyers are already out there.

We'll definitely get some promising students,

so don't worry too much.

Well, you're the vice president.

Go find Lin Zhixia and ask her.

If she's willing, that's great.

If not,

we won't force her.

Me?

It's all for the club,

so don't refuse.

I'm leaving.

What's wrong, Brother?

Nothing.

I just came out to get some water.

Got a question for me?

No.

I'm just thirsty.

Go on.

I just saw on the notice board

that the astronomy club is recruiting.

I didn't know our school

had such an advanced club.

What, isn't the basketball team keeping you busy enough?

Now you're into astronomy too?

How could I even dream of joining such an advanced club?

Lin Zhixia, I just think

this is quite suitable for you.

[Please Keep Quiet in the Library]

I haven't thought about joining a club, actually.

But we've always had a subscription

to astronomy magazines.

[Please Keep Quiet in the Library]

The astronomy club...

sounds pretty cool.

Right?

The starlight in your eyes

is the atoms born 13.8 billion years ago

during the Big Bang,

traveling through time and space

just to light up my eyes at this moment.

Lin Zhixia?

You must be Lin Zhixia.

I'm Ye Wenxi, the president of the astronomy club.

Hello.

Hello.

I really want you

to join our astronomy club.

I heard you're also very good at math.

Actually, the core of astronomy is math.

I think you fit the vibe of our club perfectly.

I'm not sure

if I have the energy to join a club.

President.

Is your astronomy club basically just

about stargazing and stuff?

Of course, observation is a huge part of it.

But we also have

our ultimate trump card,

which we don't easily show.

We have an intern observation access account

for the Purple Mountain Observatory.

Really?

Yes, really.

But it's strictly for club members only.

Don't hesitate.

I asked Lin Zeqiu to find you

just so you could join us as soon as possible.

He didn't mention it to me.

He didn't?

Impossible. I told him.

It doesn't matter.

I'm officially inviting you to join our club now.

Then let me think about it.

Okay.

The astronomy club's door is always open to you.

The president invited you personally.

What's there to think about?

Don't you want to go?

I do want to go.

But what if...

I mean, what if

someone doesn't want me to go?

Who dares to stop you? Let him try.

I'll go straight to him

and reason with him.

There really is such a person.

It's fine, I'll handle it.

Who? Come on, tell me!

Do your homework.

Oh, I forgot.

Tang Tingting.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah, what is it?

Is something

going on with Lin Zhixia?

Did you notice something?

I just think she's been acting weird lately.

Does it have anything to do with an upperclassman?

No!

I mean, it's no big deal, really.

So something did happen?

I promised her

I wouldn't tell anyone about their relationship.

Relationship? What relationship?

Why don't you ask her?

She used to

tell me everything right away.

But this time, nothing.

I was just wondering

if she was keeping something from me.

She's super smart,

but she trusts people way too easily.

I'm afraid she's being taken advantage of.

I think

she kept it from you

because it's her own business.

I mean, we're all teenagers.

It's totally normal for things like this to happen.

But you don't need to worry too much.

She won't be taken advantage of.

I've already given her some advice.

It should be resolved soon.

Alright.

If she needs any help,

please let me know right away.

Something still feels off.

Lin Zeqiu.

What are you doing here?

Go.

What's wrong?

The president of your astronomy club asked you to recruit me.

Why didn't you tell me?

Are you trying to keep me out?

I'm afraid that

if we're in the same club,

it'll be too easy for people to figure out we're siblings.

So just because you're afraid of being found out, you...

you're killing your own sister's passion?

I didn't mean that.

How about this?

You join, and I'll quit, okay?

No!

You love astronomy just as much as I do.

I don't want you to give up for me.

It's not about giving up.

I...

Anyway, we just can't be in the same club.

Brother,

the real issue isn't the club.

It's that you're trying to hide the fact

that we're siblings.

I just don't get it.

Why are you so afraid of

people knowing I'm your sister?

Keep it down! People are gonna hear us!

Let them hear!

Once everyone knows I'm your sister,

problem solved!

Okay.

Can I explain it to you properly?

Now is not the time to talk about this.

This is a very direct way to solve the problem.

Go tell your classmates.

If you won't, I will.

No. Let's go somewhere else.

I'll explain it to you properly somewhere else.

Let's go.

You always do this.

I'll explain it to you.

-Why? -Let's go somewhere else.

I'll explain it to you somewhere else.

Just say it right here.

Not here. Please, not here.

Why are you bullying a girl?

What's it to you?

So you think you're right to bully her?

Who's bullying her?

You bother Lin Zhixia every day, okay?

You're the one bothering her!

Say that again.

I've been sick of you for a long time.

I'm sick of you too.

What? You wanna fight?

Bring it on!

Lin Zeqiu, we'll help you.

What, you think having more guys makes you tough?

-Yeah, it does. -Sophomores bullying people, huh?

Stop fighting!

-Bad news! -Watch my broom skill!

Jiang Yubai is fighting with the sophomores!

Who cares if they're sophomores?

-Let's go. -Let's go.

Stop fighting!

Stop fighting!

Stop fighting!

Brother.

Duan Qiyan.

You're here too?

Watch yourself. Don't get hurt.

You too. Stay safe.

Stop fighting!

Calm down, everyone!

At that time,

I stood outside the crowd,

watching this chaotic scene.

I suddenly felt it was absurd and sad.

Because of this unprovoked broom fight,

my friends and I ended up

getting publicly scolded.

And of course,

Lin Zeqiu too.

But I've always known

that Zeqiu and I shouldn't be like this.

I just don't get it.

What exactly is wrong

between Zeqiu and me?

I actually knew Lin Zeqiu was your brother all along.

No way.

You didn't seem to know at all.

You guys

don't act like normal brother and sister.

He wasn't like this before.

He was very good to me.

When we were kids,

his friends would always come over to play with him.

He really wanted to go out,

but I didn't have many friends back then.

So I would beg him to stay home with me.

He would actually stay home

and play cat's cradle with me all day.

Cat's cradle?

What a great brother.

There was also this one time,

he thought he was dying,

so he wrote a will.

It said,

"My sister is a crybaby.

Mom, Dad, please look out for her

and comfort her."

Also,

he left his favorite piggy bank

and car model

to me.

Later, no matter how bad his temper was

or how mean his words were,

whenever I thought of this,

I felt

he definitely loved me.

When did you

start drifting apart?

Probably after we started school.

He was probably just stressed out from school,

so he barely spoke to me.

He studied very hard,

always staying up until midnight.

I felt bad for him.

I always wanted to tutor him

and help him out.

But he would be incredibly fierce to me.

After I went to high school,

it got even worse.

The night before school started, he warned me

not to call him my brother at school.

I really don't understand why.

After hearing your story,

I think I know why.

Why?

Maybe because of

his pride.

Pride?

Why?

Having such an excellent younger sister

must be quite stressful.

Think about it.

I used to feel pressured

because of your excellence too.

I felt that only by catching up with you

would I be qualified to stand by your side.

Your brother must feel the same way.

He hopes that one day he can be worthy of

the title of Lin Zhixia's brother.

I think only then will he proudly

shout it from the rooftops.

Really?

Look.

Do they look like stars?

A long, long time ago,

when people connected stars

to form constellations,

they chose stars of similar brightness.

Think about it.

If the person you love

is the brightest star in the night sky,

of course you'd want to work hard

to shine just as brightly.

That way, you can be discovered at the same time,

be defined,

and exist in the same constellation.

I get it.

I need to find some time

to have a real talk with him.

But I need to

figure out the right way to do it.

You are so smart.

I'm sure you can figure it out.

Jiang Yubai.

I've realized something.

I feel happy seeing you every day.

I am just an ordinary deep learning

artificial neural network.

My objective function

is simply to maximize my own happiness.

Whenever I lean towards you,

I get positive feedback.

So...

So, Lin Zhixia,

get to the point.

You're so nice.

I try.

What are you doing with that brush?

What do you want to do?

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

I'm going to wipe all this out!

Stop it! Stop it!

Why?

What are you doing?

Stop it!

Give it to me!

Give it to me!

Let go! Let go!

Ouch... my hand!

I...

Did I hurt your hand?

I didn't mean it,

but you were wrong in the first place.

Why did you mess with that painting?

We painted that together when we were kids.

What if you ruined it?

I don't want to be your sister anymore.

I want to cut ties with you.

What are you talking about?

What do you mean?

Other brothers know how to spoil

and protect their sisters.

And you? You never have a nice thing to say to me.

I don't mind that my classmates don't play with me,

but my own brother avoids me, pushes me away,

and hates me.

What did I do wrong?

Am I that embarrassing to you?

Let me explain.

I don't think that way.

I feel like

I embarrassed you.

Look, you're such a good student.

You study for just a few minutes,

and I have to study all night long.

We share the same parents

and the same genes,

but I just feel like I'm not as smart as you.

Being dumb just means working harder.

I thought one day

I could work my way into this experimental class.

Then people would stop saying

Lin Zhixia's brother is a dumb brother.

-I... -What a fool!

You're too dumb to know

the randomness and diversity of gene combinations.

You're so silly that you don't even know

how many strengths and talents are in your genes.

You're so silly to think

that you would embarrass your sister.

So silly!

I was just thinking,

if you had a brother

who was smart,

had a great personality,

played basketball well,

and wasn't totally ugly,

you'd be pretty proud too, right?

Why would I think about such impossible things?

You'd better take that back.

What I mean is,

to me, you are already

very, very, very excellent.

I want to tell everyone

that Lin Zeqiu is my brother.

Not because you have good grades.

Not because you are good at all kinds of sports.

And not because you are handsome.

It's because you are

the one and only Lin Zeqiu in this world,

and the person who loves me the most.

I know.

Don't cry, don't cry.

Why are you being so cheesy?

No more crying.

But you just wanted to cut ties with me!

I just wanted to hear the truth from you

and talk to you.

I couldn't bear to erase those things.

Is your hand okay?

I fooled you.

How dare you trick me?

So what if I did?

Apologize to me.

Sorry.

Not sincere enough.

Sorry, King Lin Zeqiu.

That's more like it.

I forgive you.

Let's draw it again.

You erased the deer I drew when I was six.

Look, I didn't erase it.

You deliberately rubbed against the wall just now,

-not the painting, right? -Yeah.

You are so smart.

I am so silly.

I'm really so silly.

I totally missed that.

A little piece fell off here.

Morning, Grandma.

Morning.

Heading to school, Zhixia?

Morning, Grandma Leng.

Morning.

You just love teasing it.

Did you feed it?

I did.

Keep a distance of 10 meters.

Don't talk to me.

No eye contact.

Don't let others misunderstand.

Lin Zhixia.

Can you come to my side?

I don't have eyes on the back of my head.

How can I watch you?

Come here.

Let's go.

Lin Zeqiu.

Is that Lin Zeqiu?

Yeah.

What's going on? Let's go check it out.

Lin Zeqiu.

Lin Zhixia.

Come here.

Come here.

Lin Zhixia is my sister.

Lin Zeqiu. Lin Zhixia.

No wonder the names are so similar.

Sorry.

Your sister is just too outstanding.

So we really couldn't

associate you two together.

A well-known top student in school...

And an unknown ordinary person.

Are you blood-related?

Were you adopted?

Even if he was adopted, he's still my brother.

We're blood-related.

We're blood-related.

Why are you disowning me?

Human intelligence

is 40 to 60 percent innate.

And statistically speaking,

I probably benefited from the law of conservation.

My brother might not be a genius,

but he is very persistent.

There was a math problem that wasn't too hard before,

but he refused to let me help him with it.

He locked himself in his room for two nights

and finally figured it out.

What about you? Are you as hardworking as him?

Are you sure you're praising me?

Although my brother always yells at me,

I know

he always cares about me.

He'd give me his pocket money,

claiming it was from my dad.

My mom keeps track of our family store's inventory.

Every time he snuck strawberry milk for me

and got caught by my mom,

he'd take the blame and say he wanted it himself.

He took a lot of beatings for that.

When I ran a fever,

he'd quietly stand guard outside my room.

If anything happened,

he'd rush in right away.

He even washed

my stuffed animals for me.

What about you?

Do you have such a good brother?

Can you hear it?

No, I can't.

All right, we're just teasing you.

Go ahead.

Bye-bye.

So your family runs a grocery store?

Does that mean you have unlimited snacks

and drinks?

I'm so jealous!

Do you guys ever catch the point

when people are talking?

Actually, your sister is quite cute.

I wish I had such a cute sister.

You actually washed her stuffed animals?
