[Genius Girlfriend]

[Episode 22]

You're burning up.

Can't you give me a break?

First a fever, and now a broken leg.

I told you

not to stay up late.

Why didn't you listen?

Tell me what to do now.

How do I explain to our parents? Tell me.

Zeqiu, we're in the hospital.

[Ward Staff Code of Conduct]

And I just sprained and fractured it.

It's not broken.

Can you not tell Mom and Dad?

I promise this won't happen again.

Lie back down.

[Ward Staff Code of Conduct]

It'd be best if you could keep your word.

When will the fever go down?

It should go down after the IV drip.

I need an IV?

She hates needles.

Then,

can she take oral fever medicine?

No.

She's already severely overdrawn.

Oral medication will irritate her stomach too much.

Besides,

she can sleep well after the IV drip.

Zeqiu...

Jiang Yubai...

It's my fault.

I should have worked overtime with our team leader.

I should be blamed.

If I didn't keep complaining about possibly delaying graduation,

she wouldn't have worked so hard.

Why don't we go to the hospital to see her now?

Enough.

The last thing Zhixia needs right now is to be bothered.

Her brother is there with her.

If you really want to help,

hurry up and finish the data calculation.

Is there anything else you need?

I'll go buy it later.

No need.

Dr. Shen has bought all the daily necessities,

and told us to take good care of her.

Don't worry.

I'll get back to work.

What do you want for dinner?

I'll go prepare it.

No need to bother.

The hospital has nutritious meals for patients.

I've arranged everything.

Thanks for your hard work.

With you here, it saves a lot of trouble.

You're welcome, Zeqiu.

Zeqiu, rest assured.

Go do your own thing.

You still have work.

How can I rest assured?

You can't even get out of bed.

Shall we

hire a caregiver for you?

No need.

I'll always be here.

Shen has work to do, too.

He must be quite busy.

How about I take care of her instead?

My schedule happens to be quite flexible, too.

Well,

all right then.

I'll leave Lin Zhixia in your hands then.

Jia.

I bought some food and drinks for everyone.

Thank you, Dr. Shen.

Come and get your milk tea.

Dr. Shen's treat.

So nice.

Dr. Shen, is there anything you need us for?

You're usually so serious,

you never even talk to us.

Please take

good care of Lin Zhixia in bed 11.

If she needs anything, just let me know.

Dr. Shen,

you are being so thoughtful.

Could she be your girlfriend?

Of course.

Otherwise, how would we be benefiting from this?

Dr. Shen, does your girlfriend know

that you are so thoughtful toward her?

Dr. Shen, you normally seem so serious,

but you're actually a sweetheart.

Thanks for the help.

I want to drink this.

This one.

This is good.

Director.

I would like to request

to work the night shift for a while.

Do you want to take time off?

No.

I can just work the night shift lately.

If the schedule can't be adjusted,

I can just cover for others.

I heard a friend of yours is hospitalized here.

Okay.

Then you can cover the night shifts for now.

But

don't let it affect your work.

Thank you, Director.

You're welcome.

Don't worry, Tingting.

I'm really fine.

I'll be discharged in a couple of days.

Tell Duan Qiyan too.

Got it.

Bye.

These two

have been blowing up the group chat all day.

It's no big deal anyway.

Everyone is busy with work.

I don't want to bother them.

But what about the school?

While I'm in the hospital,

what will Luo Ying and the others do?

There's still so much to do for the project.

There's no rush.

Take these two days to sort things out.

Even when rushing, you need to look where you're going.

Visiting hours have long passed.

The patient needs rest.

Zeqiu already left.

You should go back too.

I'll be so bored.

You won't be.

You need to sleep.

Dr. Shen,

are you always this serious at work?

Today,

I'm on the night shift.

Okay.

Then

I'll head back first.

[Inpatient]

[Inpatient]

[Inpatient]

I still want to check today's progress.

Otherwise, I won't have peace of mind.

Lin Zhixia,

we all know what we need to do.

You also need to know what you should do.

Your top priority right now is to recover.

Don't talk to me about the project until you're healed.

I won't reply to your messages.

Go to sleep now.

Bye.

You should put your phone down now

and go to sleep.

Good night.

Got it.

Good night.

[Inpatient]

Her eyes are so big.

Did you see that?

What's wrong? What happened?

It's nothing.

Everyone wants to see

what Dr. Shen's girlfriend looks like.

Girlfriend?

She is so elegant.

What a perfect match.

No wonder he was looking for people to swap shifts with last night.

Looking at this schedule,

he'll probably be staying at the hospital all week.

Excuse me.

May I ask

where I can borrow a wheelchair?

At the cashier in the outpatient hall.

Thank you.

She's so pretty.

L-L-L-L-Lin Zhixia.

Look what I brought you.

How are you? Did you sleep well?

Not bad.

I'm just a bit bored.

Why did you get a wheelchair?

I knew you couldn't stay still in the ward.

Check out your new ride.

Want me to take you downstairs for some fresh air?

Really?

But the nurse said I still need an IV drip later.

The doctor probably won't agree.

Just for a little while.

It should be fine.

[Inpatient]

I wonder how long it will take for my leg to heal.

I really want to go skateboarding.

You want to skateboard?

I like the feeling of freedom

with the wind in my face.

You can feel it right now, too.

Sit tight.

Here we go!

Flying!

Drifting!

Charge!

Lin Zhixia!

What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

Trying to fly?

The readings?

Systolic 110,

diastolic 75.

Tell me why I saw Dr. Shen's girlfriend

hanging out with another man

and having a great time?

I don't know.

I heard he was waiting at the ward door early in the morning,

even earlier than Dr. Shen.

Wait, then what about Dr. Shen?

What nonsense are you talking about?

That lady can't be Dr. Shen's girlfriend.

No way.

I heard that when people asked Dr. Shen,

he didn't deny it himself.

Did he admit it personally?

Not exactly.

There you have it.

Jiang Yubai.

When did your IQ get so low?

How childish!

[Inpatient]

What's so fun about a wheelchair?

Zeqiu, it was my idea.

Where did all your smarts go?

What if you fall again?

Don't you want your leg?

Want to be in a wheelchair for life?

Stop fooling around.

Go back!

[Inpatient]

With a combined IQ of almost 400,

you chose to do this.

Is this what adults would do?

So childish.

Instead of cooking her something good,

you pushed her around in a wheelchair.

Dr. Shen.

What's wrong?

Are you in a bad mood?

Come on, breathe in.

Breathe out.

I'm not.

Don't lie to me.

You went to the orthopedics department first thing in the morning,

and someone else did my checkup.

What?

Are you not going to take care of me anymore?

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

No.

Who's that guy?

Which one?

The tall, handsome one

playing with Zhixia in the garden.

Why do you ask?

Is he your rival in love?

What's going on

in that little head of yours all day?

Gossip.

Otherwise, it's so boring.

People only started spreading rumors yesterday

that Zhixia is your girlfriend.

And today, he made such a big scene

like he wanted everyone to know.

You two peacocks are really

showing off your courtship skills.

You know it all.

Then in your opinion,

who is better, him or me?

Of course he is...

Not as good as you.

You're young,

but you're quite good at flattery.

It's not flattery.

Have a glass of water first.

I'll go wash the vegetables.

Make yourself at home.

Okay.

[Astronomy Enthusiast]

That's the Winter Triangle.

Next to it is the Hexagon.

Among them, Sirius, the closest one to us,

is slowly approaching us.

Why did the meteors stop moving?

Weren't you making a wish?

I paused it for you.

Do you need any help?

No, I can do it myself.

Just make yourself comfortable

and wait to eat.

By the way,

did you check on Lin Zhixia this afternoon?

Is she feeling better?

It makes me mad just talking about it.

Jiang Yubai is also an idiot.

He took Lin Zhixia downstairs

in a wheelchair and pushed her around like a maniac.

That means she's probably fine now.

If something goes wrong again,

I won't be able to answer to my parents.

They're like two kids.

Neither of them gives me peace of mind.

Oh yeah,

weren't you classmates with Jiang Yubai

and Shen Fuxuan?

The two of them...

How should I put it?

They're a bit...

A bit weird.

What's wrong with them?

They're acting weird towards my sister.

I thought it was some breaking news.

They've been like this since they were kids.

Isn't this something the whole world knows?

Really?

If it were you,

who would you choose between them?

I wouldn't choose either.

You have such high standards.

I like mature ones.

Are you picking

a brother-in-law for yourself?

Actually, as long as Lin Zhixia likes him and he suits her,

I don't mind.

But Lin Zhixia's logical thinking

is quite different from ours.

How do you know who suits her?

I know my sister well.

I plan to give them the same question

without a standard answer.

When the time comes,

it's up to Lin Zhixia to choose between them.

A screening test from the brother-in-law.

It's not easy.

By the way, Lin Zeqiu,

let's take a photo together.

As proof for your parents.

Okay.

Right here.

Okay.

Three, two, one.

We don't look very close.

Let's take another one.

Get a little closer.

Okay.

Three, two, one.

All right.

Thank you.

Have a seat first,

food will be ready soon.

How is it?

It's delicious.

Eat more if it's good.

Eating school cafeteria food all the time must be boring.

Don't just watch me, you eat too.

Right, I'll eat.

I just saw a lot of astronomy books on the desk.

That you've kept this hobby for so many years,

I really admire you.

Besides working every day,

this is my only hobby left.

I don't seem to have any hobbies.

I'm a pretty boring person.

Not at all.

I think you're quite interesting.

You're so good at your studies.

I remember you sing very well, too.

Right?

Tell me,

what do you think about when you look at the stars?

It makes me feel very small.

Only when I look up at the stars

can I find a moment of freedom.

Aren't you free now?

I think freedom is actually relative.

Living in this society, we are bound by

work, family,

and social status.

These things make us more or less

connected with people around us.

Just like stars.

Actually, every star in the sky

has its own orbit,

but it also connects with

all the stars around it

to finally form the whole starry sky.

Actually, I know

you've always wanted to be independent.

But only after you truly

build connections with the people around you,

can you find your own freedom.

I also hope

I can become independent soon.

You are very independent by nature.

You have your own thoughts and opinions

and never just follow the crowd.

You do well in your studies,

and are taking your favorite major at a top university.

You will definitely achieve whatever you want.

Everything you hope for

is just a matter of time.

I also want to thank you.

Thank me for what?

For helping me keep things from my parents.

You did me a huge favor.

If you encounter any problems in the future,

you can always come to me.

You said it.

I did.

Cheers.

This is delicious.

[Inpatient]

It's time. You should go to sleep.

I was too soft-hearted to scold you last night,

but don't stay up so late looking at your phone.

Dr. Shen, it's not that I don't want to sleep,

I really can't.

You have two choices.

One,

turn off your phone and sleep.

Two,

let me prescribe a sleep injection for you.

I don't want an injection.

You should go too.

I got a pair of sleep-aid earphones for you.

I've downloaded some music in it.

You can listen to it if you can't sleep.

Thank you.

I'm leaving.

Rest early.

Shen.

Director.

Go check on Shui.

She's in a bad mood.

I don't want to do the check-up anymore.

I do it every single day.

I'm tired.

What is this?

Are you coaxing a kid?

I'll give it to you after the check-up.

I don't even like pink.

What about these?

Pick for yourself.

See if there's any you like.

How many can I pick?

One per check-up.

Stingy.

Then I must choose carefully.

I'll take the lychee one.

Wait,

besides the daily check-ups,

if I cooperate with the blood test

and eat my meals,

can I get one for each of those too?

Yes.

Come, sit up straight.

Inhale.

Exhale slowly.

If I'm well-behaved on 10 occasions,

can I exchange them for a wish?

No.

What about 30 occasions?

Thirty occasions should do, right?

I promise

I will cooperate with all the check-ups from now on.

Please?

Don't push your luck.

Whatever, I'll take the lychee one first.

Next time, I'll get the blueberry one.

I'll be making rounds tonight.

If you finish that bottle of water by then,

I'll reward you with another one.

Come on, Shui, let's draw some blood first.

What's the meaning of this?

This endorsement contract

is waiting for your signature.

Of course I know it's an endorsement contract!

I'm not blind.

I just want to ask you

why you won't hire Zhou Heng for 800,000,

but insist on spending 1.2 million

to hire some star for the endorsement?

What else?

Nowadays, every brand's technology,

car models, and colors are almost the same.

The only thing we can compete on is brand awareness.

This star just started gaining fame.

I'm telling you,

I managed to negotiate a low price with great difficulty.

If you don't grab them now,

it won't be this price once they're popular.

Sign it quickly.

Don't ruin it.

Fine.

I can sign.

But Zhou Heng must join the company.

That's a different matter.

He

is really too expensive.

Okay.

Then let's follow the procedure

and let the board of directors vote on it.

Duan.

For such a small matter,

there's no need to make a big fuss.

Besides,

even if we vote,

the result will be the same.

Really?

I don't buy it.

How would we know without voting?

If the voting result

is as you said,

I'll accept it.

[Inpatient]

Zeqiu.

I was just about to call for you.

The doctor has looked at Zhixia's X-rays.

It's healing quite well.

She should be able to go home and rest in a couple of days.

Really?

Thanks for your hard work recently.

You did so much for her.

After she's discharged,

Lin Zhixia and I will treat you to a meal.

You're welcome.

Even though she's getting discharged soon,

I'm still worried.

What's wrong?

The fundamental problem hasn't been solved.

She's still under a lot of pressure on this project.

Both manpower and resources are insufficient.

I'm afraid she'll ruin her health again when she goes back.

I can't be of much help either.

How about this?

I'll go back and ask my mom tonight.

I'll see

if I can borrow

two of her students to help with the project.

Borrow?

Is that allowed?

It shouldn't be a big problem.

That would be great if it works.

You're doing me a huge favor.

I'll owe you another meal.

We'll talk about

what you want to eat later.

Sure.

Zeqiu.

I'm going to get some food for Lin Zhixia.

Do you want something to eat, too?

I've already eaten. No need.

Thanks for your hard work lately.

I just talked to Shen Fuxuan.

He said Lin Zhixia can be discharged the day after tomorrow.

That's great.

I happen to be free tomorrow and the day after.

I can take care of her.

You should get some rest too.

Okay.

Actually,

I'm still quite worried about her work right now.

Her work pressure was already high before,

and now she's injured.

You also know

that someone has been targeting her recently.

I was wondering if

we could help her with this.

Zeqiu.

Actually, you should know Lin Zhixia

better than anyone else.

She is actually more independent

and resilient than we imagine.

She also knows better how to handle

matters in her professional field.

She was just a bit flustered a while ago,

so what she needs most is rest

to adjust her state and pace.

If she and her team didn't

achieve victory on their own in the end,

it wouldn't be the outcome she wanted.

So all we have to do is trust her,

support her,

and take good care of her health.

Tang, what are you doing?

Want to have some supper?

Hot pot or barbecue, your pick.

It's my treat.

I'm in urgent need of a supper buddy.

Sorry, we're closed.

Then I'll come back another day.

It's you.

Have a seat.

No, it's okay. I'll go look elsewhere.

I'm not that hungry anyway.

I'll go see what I can whip up.

Please don't trouble yourself.

I'm really not that hungry. No need to trouble yourself.

Grab whatever you want to drink from the fridge.

Okay.

You worked so late,

you didn't have dinner, right?

I was thinking of having supper,

but I had no one to eat with.

Next time you work overtime, you can order food from me.

Didn't you say before that

people who aren't enthusiastic about eating are not right in the head?

No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat.

You even remember that?

Boss, it's all thanks to you today.

If you hadn't taken me in,

I would be eating instant noodles and gnawing on bread.

My name is Gao Yiyuan.

You can call me Yuanyuan.

I said,

my name is Gao Yiyuan.

You can call me Yuanyuan.

This is all that's left.

Make do with it. It's on the house.

Thanks.

[Tang Tingting]

Bro, I'm already swamped,

and you want me to join you for supper?

I'm already full on suffering.

I ordered some takeout for you.

It'll be left at your door in a bit.

I'll allow you to eat alone today.

Bro, you're back.

You're out.

Yes, just got out.

Master Jiang,

I called you so many times, but you didn't answer.

So I had to wait for you at the door.

How about

we go grab a drink?

No need.

Just tell me what it is.

Master Jiang,

here's the thing.

I just got a big order,

but the demand is difficult to meet.

So...

The client contact list.

Give it to me.

The contact list?

What do you mean?

Master Jiang, I was wrong.

I didn't expect this to happen.

If I knew they were selling fake goods,

I wouldn't have taken the job even if they killed me.

I...

I saw you were in a hurry for money,

and I was just trying to help you.

I know.

This has nothing to do with you.

That's why I'm willing to talk to you now.

You've known me for so many years.

I won't do it again.

Please give me another chance.

You uploaded the video of the shock diamond, didn't you?

The shock diamond?

I don't know anything about that.

I checked the IP address of the upload.

I just thought it was so amazing.

I wanted to use it to drive traffic

and promote our business.

Look.

The private messages in this account are all from new clients.

The big batch of orders I just told you about

all came from this new channel.

Don't worry.

I know you don't like to show your face.

No one will know it's you.

Cheng,

thanks for your hard work

all these years.

But I have my own plans from now on.

Our partnership

ends here.

I understand what you mean.

I can give you the contact list.

But please,

do one last thing for me.

You must help me finish this order.

I still have to deliver the goods.

That workload will take at least half a month.

I don't have time to waste on that right now.

But I really can't afford to compensate for it.

If this order falls through,

on top of the previous fines,

all my work over the past two years will have been for nothing.

Please, Master Jiang.

I'm begging you, bro.

Please.

Give me the contact list,

and I'll do it.

Okay.

I'll leave you to it. I won't bother you anymore.

Wait.

Take your stuff.

Don't come

looking for me anymore.

[Huacheng City Hejia Hospital]

You picked the candidates so fast.

So efficient.

Both of them are top students from the math department.

When Zhixia is discharged from the hospital,

they can come help right away.

Thank Professor Shen for me.

[Huacheng City Hejia Hospital]

Okay.

I'm leaving.

Your leg is almost healed.

What are you going to do with your math project?

Luo Ying has been covering for me for days.

For the remaining important calculations,

I have to go back to school and handle them myself.

What's wrong?

Shen Fuxuan borrowed two math Ph.D. students

from his mom

to help you sort things out together.

Take a look at their resumes.

No need.

What do you mean "no need"?

How can we bother Professor Shen with this?

Isn't this cheating?

If I don't even have confidence

in my own team members

and have to ask for external help,

what would they think if they found out?

I know what I'm doing.

Just stop worrying, okay?

Alright.

This guy...

He's not just a guy,

he's a mind reader.

What did you say?

Nothing. Your choice is my choice.

Can you talk normally?

Just eat. I have nothing to say.

Weirdo.

Why are you here?

This is for you.

Come to my house for dinner tonight.

My grandparents came back from abroad.

They want to meet you.

Me?

You have quite the influence.

They usually

don't come back easily.

Um, I'm sorry.

I suddenly have an emergency today.

Let's talk about it next time.

Thanks for the flowers.

I'll contact you tonight then.

Hello?

Hello, Mom.

Did you give my address to Li Zhe?

What's wrong?

You didn't reply to his WeChat messages.

If I didn't tell him,

where would he find you?

He told you, right?

To go to his house for dinner tonight.

I'm not going.

Mom, didn't you want me to focus on studies before?

Why are you asking me to date now?

Baihui, your dad and I have discussed it.

You should do what's appropriate for your stage in life.

Right now,

you should be dating

and then getting married.

So, just like choosing a university,

you've chosen my dating and marriage partner

for me, right?

Your dad and I didn't say it has to be Li Zhe.

But look around.

Look at the people around you.

Who is more suitable than him

in every aspect?

Besides,

what's wrong with Li Zhe?

Can you just get to know him?

Fine.

You're right.

I should be dating.

I already have a boyfriend.

What did you say?

I said, I have a boyfriend.

So I won't be going to his place for dinner.

I see.

You've gotten too big for your britches, haven't you?

I'm not talking to you anymore.

Let your dad talk to you.

I...

Hello? Mom?

Jiang Yubai, it's good you're here.

What's wrong, Zeqiu?

I have something at work tomorrow.

Can you...

It's fine. I'll take care of her tomorrow.

I'll pick her up from the hospital.

Okay.

Sorry to trouble you.

Don't go fooling around with her.

I got it.

I'm leaving now.

She can't walk right now.

How are you two going to eat?

-I’ll cook for her. -We…

I'll make all 3 meals

and ensure a balanced diet.

Then what time will you go home?

What time?

Don't you have to go home?

Yes, I do.

I'll go back after making dinner.

Zeqiu...

We're just chatting.

Well,

after you get home every day,

share your location with me.

Share my location?

Just kidding.

But do it.

I'm leaving.

Sorry.

I kept you waiting.

It's fine. I just got here too.

Let's go up first.

Okay, let me carry this.

It's fine. I got it.

You can use this half.

Is it enough?

Yes.

I don't usually tidy up, so it's a bit messy.

It's fine.

Here.

I'll hang your towel here.

Okay.

I'll leave this side for you.

Thanks.

No problem.

It's fine.

I think this is pretty good.

If my parents call,

you can cover for me.

Actually, you're the one covering for me.

I'll tell you the truth.

My parents found a boyfriend for me.

They want me to get married,

so they found someone for me.

I really didn't know what to do,

so I...

It's fine.

It's fine.

I think it's pretty good now.

We're helping each other out.

Let me know if you need anything.

You'll sleep in the guest room.

It's already tidied up.

And Lin Zhixia rarely comes back,

so it works out.

Okay.

Right.

Thanks.

No problem.

Wait a minute.

Give it to me.

I can walk by myself.

I think I have a fever.

A fever?

No fever.

During my days in the hospital,

I realized that

the connection between Jiang Yubai and me

had surpassed the linear model of X and Y,

deviating from its preset trajectory.

His boundless understanding of me

had become an unpredictable random variable,

making our relationship

an equation that even calculus couldn't solve.
