[Genius Girlfriend]

[Episode 26]

[Yubai]

[You're on your way back home, right?]

[I'm a bit upset.]

[Jiang Yubai]

I'm a bit upset.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Zhixia.

Hello,

this is my Genius Observation Diary.

Observer—Jiang Yubai.

On September 1st, 2013, the new semester

[Qingbei University] [Welcome, new Qingbeiers.]

started at Qingbei University.

You said before that

you wanted everyone to be together

and never be apart.

So I decided to come to Huacheng.

Even though we couldn't meet,

it was still nice to be under the same sky

as you.

On September 24th, 2014,

you turned 20.

-Happy birthday to you. -Happy birthday to you.

-Happy birthday to you. -Happy birthday to you.

-Happy birthday to you. -Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday!

I saw you celebrating

your birthday with them at the restaurant today.

I heard you wishing

everyone could reunite soon,

and I could come back soon.

You are the only one missing.

We are waiting for you.

But you didn't know

that I had never left.

I was just not sure when

I could return to your side.

On September 7th, 2018,

actually, that day in speech class,

you weren't imagining it—

I was right there with you.

But I was hiding from you

because you were running further and further away

toward a bright future.

I was afraid that

I would never be able to catch up with you.

On September 13th, 2018...

You were looking for me?

Did I have to appear just because you were looking for me?

Then what does this watch have to do with you?

Why did you fix it?

You had been hiding for 5 years!

Why did you show up now?

Why didn't you just keep hiding?

Yes!

Yeah, I shouldn't have fixed it.

I'm an idiot.

My biggest regret now is

ever fixing this stupid watch.

I should never have let you find me!

Lin Zhixia,

I didn't mean to push you away.

And neither did I want to break your heart.

I know my actions disappointed you.

Actually, I really regretted it that day.

I felt so powerless.

But I didn't know what to do.

I love you so much.

But...

I'm sorry.

On November 20th, 2018,

your brother asked me to take care of you.

I was really happy.

I didn't know when a genius

could understand ordinary people's love,

but I still decided

to bury these feelings in your place.

Because I firmly believed that one day,

you would hear my voice.

Lin Zhixia,

thank you for hearing me out.

And also thank you

for having given me the motivation to move forward for the past 5 years.

Now,

please press X and Y on the model simultaneously.

[Jiang Yubai loves Lin Zhixia forever and ever.]

Jiang Yubai, where are you?

I want to see you right now.

Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang Yubai!

Jiang Yubai.

I like you.

-What kind of like do you mean? -I mean the kind

of like you're thinking.

It's the philosophical

and biological kind of like.

The ordinary kind of like.

Actually, I've forgotten

since when

I started falling for you, Lin Zhixia.

But I've often set deadlines for myself.

I wanted to wait

until I became an older

and better person.

But the more time passed,

the more I doubted

whether I, Jiang Yubai, would be lucky enough

to always be able to protect

and like Lin Zhixia.

Because I always felt that love was

not very important to her.

So being able to stay by your side

already made me very happy.

I'm prepared.

Even if Lin Zhixia doesn't know my feelings,

I still...

Lin Zhixia knows.

[Hematology Department]

[Class Break]

[Class Break]

Are you telling everyone you're dating?

[As expected. Congratulations.]

So suddenly!

[This is way too sudden. Still, congratulations.]

Mm.

As expected.

Congratulations!

This is way too sudden.

Still, congratulations.

Congratulations. You two deserve this.

Lin,

Professor Wu has been strongly recommending you,

saying that you are the top talent in the industry.

We are currently focusing our efforts on artificial intelligence.

Right now,

we are doing R&D on machine learning algorithms.

We really need you to join us.

Ling, thank you for choosing me.

But I have no plans to leave school for now.

It's not too late to start planning now.

Scientific research talents

need support and protection the most.

The school environment is

definitely not as good as our company's.

The funding we've invested now

is several times yours.

Ling, you might not know this.

My current project's research direction

only requires computing power.

The school's support is already enough.

Is it the pay

that's holding you back?

If you think it's too low,

I can go back

and talk to our boss.

Everything is negotiable.

No, it's not like that.

It's not about the salary.

I'm personally

very into this research direction.

I have no reason to give it up.

Then do you have any other needs?

We will surely satisfy you

as long as it's within our capability.

I haven't thought about it yet.

I'm sorry.

Okay, fine.

How about this?

This is my business card.

You can also take the contract back and have a look.

If you have any needs,

feel free to contact me, okay?

The rod tip

and the grip have both been modified, right?

Yep.

The rod tip was replaced with T1100G carbon cloth.

It's 30% lighter.

As for the handle,

it was replaced with a baitcasting reel.

You'll have better balance when casting.

Nice modification.

Not bad, young man.

You're not only good at dealing with stereos

but also an expert in fishing rods.

This is for you.

Wait a minute.

Are there any strings attached this time?

Nope,

I just simply want to thank you

for going to listen to Lin Zhixia's project presentation.

No wonder.

Alright.

How about this?

I have a few more rods in my car.

Modify them all for me.

Oh, Liu.

Fine, I'll modify them for you.

But I recently took some urgent orders.

It'll take a while before I get it done.

No,

I'm going sea fishing next week.

I can't wait.

All right, then I'll work overtime

and let you jump the queue.

Great, really nice.

Everyone,

I'm sure you're well aware

of what we're going to discuss here today.

So I won't beat around the bush.

Up here is

a detailed price evaluation report

that I made.

Whether we should hire Zhou Heng

or an ambassador—

I think it's pretty obvious which one

is more cost-effective

and will bring our company

long-term benefits.

Hou Wei,

do you have anything else to add?

I have nothing to say.

Let's vote.

Raise your hands if you agree to bring in Zhou Heng.

Duan, just sign it.

So all of you are only willing

to do these superficial vanity projects,

right?

Calm down first.

Duan,

for a small company like ours,

we need to build our hype first.

Getting acquired is

already the best way out for us.

So your goal is

to quickly stir up some hype,

cash out, and run?

Do you really want to build it into a century-old brand?

Fine, if you want to find a buyer,

feel free to go talk to them. Just go right away.

I'll sign it for you

whenever you get the deal done.

Selling the company as soon as possible is good for everyone.

[Fun Biking]

You've already been here for several days before telling me.

You're so biased.

We're not biased.

If we told you, you'd worry about us.

We didn't want to delay your work.

Dad, what's wrong with your back?

It's nothing. An old problem.

Lumbar disc herniation.

He already had this old injury,

and he strained it again this time.

He kept refusing to go to the hospital.

Whenever it flared up, he'd just put on a plaster himself.

If Zeqiu and I hadn't persuaded him this time,

he wouldn't have gone to see the doctor.

So did you go see a doctor?

Yes, I did. I'm fine.

What did the doctor say?

It's nothing serious for now.

It can be treated conservatively.

But the doctor said that

he couldn't do heavy work anymore.

If he gets hurt doing heavy work again, he'll need surgery.

Did you hear that?

He just won't listen to me. Talk sense into him.

Dad! How many times have I told you?

Just stop running that supermarket.

It doesn't turn a profit anyway.

If it exhausts you and Mom

and ruins your health,

what will Zeqiu and I do?

See?

You didn't listen to me before.

Now, my sister is saying it, too.

What do you say?

Would you think it over?

Your mom and I are

just sitting around anyway.

Running this small supermarket

allows us to do something.

Besides,

you'll have a lot of expenses ahead of you.

Mom, Dad,

I'm making money now.

Our family's finances will

surely take a turn for the better.

Why don't you and Mom

just stay at home and enjoy a peaceful life?

You want me to just idle around before death?

I didn't say that.

The doctor said it was nothing serious.

Your mom and I just thought

we'd drop by and visit you two.

Now that we have seen you,

we'll head back in a couple of days.

No way.

You have to stay and get treated properly.

Only when the doctor says you're completely fine

can you leave.

Fine.

Stop laughing.

Everything has its nemesis.

I'll settle the score with you later.

Don't change the channel. Let's watch this.

Get up a bit. I'll put...

Put a cushion behind you.

Take it slow.

Yes, yes, slowly.

Is it more comfortable this way?

From now on, you have to tell me

anything happening at home immediately.

Don't hide it from me.

I didn't hide anything from you.

Mom asked me not to tell you,

afraid you'd be worried.

You didn't tell me just because Mom told you not to?

You traitor.

Then next time, I'll tell you at once.

What else haven't you told me?

Nothing.

Really nothing.

Those things on your desk are

not all yours, are they?

They are all mine.

All of them.

Not a single thing belongs to someone else?

No, I bought them all.

Forget it if you don't want to tell me.

I'll find out sooner or later anyway.

I really don't get what you're talking about.

You're hiding something.

No.

I'm not.

What's wrong?

Why are you pulling a long face?

My dad came to see the doctor this time,

and I realized

how much he had aged.

If he does any more heavy work,

he'll need surgery for his back.

When it hurts now,

even medicated plasters don't work.

He just has to bear it.

Do you need money then?

My average transaction value has gone up lately...

Don't bother.

You don't need to worry about it.

I just want to take some pressure off them.

I don't want Zeqiu to carry the burden of the family all by himself.

He'll have his own family in the future.

If I go out to work,

my mom, dad, and brother will

have it a little easier, right?

I think

you've got a point.

However,

you should also ask yourself

what you really want deep down inside.

I want to stay in school, of course.

There are still many projects I haven't figured out yet.

If I go to a commercial company,

I'll be doing other people's projects.

I also think

doing scientific research in school suits you better.

Have you asked for

your brother's opinion?

He won't agree.

I know he cherishes me.

When he was still a college student,

he already did part-time jobs in his spare time,

just in order to shoulder the family's burden earlier.

But I'm also a member of the family.

I know what you're thinking.

But

don't jump to conclusions.

Take time to think it over

and discuss it with your family.

Whatever decision you make,

I'll be with you by your side.

Ms. Ling,

I'd like to talk with you again about

what you brought up last time.

Great, Lin.

You've changed your mind?

I'll make time for it right away.

Touch up quickly and get ready for the next outfit.

Alright, look right here.

Good, you can smile a little more.

Great. You're looking really good.

One more. Let me try another angle.

These are clothes for Su Mo later.

Ask the director which one works best

and have him change into it.

Got it, Tingting.

Tingting, check it out.

What do you think of his look?

If everything's good,

we'll move to the next set.

Let me see.

Okay, very good.

Jiang, I've just realized—

t-these so-called friends I grew up with

are all so fake and hypocritical!

That's enough.

You should drink less.

Oh, right, there's...

one more thing about Tang Tingting.

I really don't understand her.

What did I do

to mess with her all day?

I feel like in her eyes,

I can't do anything right.

I can't do anything right.

I just feel like I'm nobody.

I'm a total loser!

I think this looks pretty good.

Let's call it a day.

Okay, sure.

Alright,

it's a wrap.

Great job, everyone.

Not bad.

Thank you, Yu.

Keep it up.

Great job, everyone! Thank you all!

Well done.

Tingting.

Did I do a really good job today?

You did great. Keep it up.

Good work today.

You've been busy all day.

Come and grab a bite with everyone later.

My treat.

I'm not going. I have something urgent to handle.

You guys go ahead. It's on me.

What is it?

Do you have to handle it tonight?

It's about that unlucky friend of mine.

I don't know what's wrong with him again.

He's probably drunk too much.

I have to go check on him.

You go ahead.

Good job, guys!

Tingting, be careful then!

Okay.

I came up with the idea

and built the company myself from scratch.

Now they're kicking me out!

Is there no justice anymore? Is there...

Who's it?

What brings you here?

What's this show today, Mr. Duan?

No show. It's nothing.

Stubborn as always.

Did you run into trouble at work again?

The company... That's just a small issue.

A small issue?

You got this drunk over a small issue?

Can this solve the problem?

Nope.

Then what should you do?

What should I do, Jiang?

I don't know either.

I'm asking what you should do.

I should...

I should go communicate with them!

Do you know how? Do you need me to teach you?

No need! I know how!

Are you still drinking then?

No. You drink,

Jiang.

I'll drink.

Alright, I'm leaving then.

I'm hungry.

Oh, man...

Let's go, Jiang. Let's grab a bite together.

I will skip this one.

You guys go and eat.

Come and grab a bite, Jiang.

Come on.

Why are you looking at me?

Aren't you hungry? Just eat up.

Tingting,

you're the only one who treats me well.

You've ignored me for such a long time.

I thought I'd never get to see you again.

If you act this foolish again after drinking,

you really won't see me again.

Tingting,

although I don't know

why you've been sulking lately,

I do know one thing.

It must be because I offended you somehow

and made you unhappy.

I apologize to you, Tingting.

Can you let it go?

Didn't you claim that you'd find

an inverse function that's completely different from me?

That noodle shop lady is gentle and considerate.

Isn't she your ideal type?

Why do you want to come to me? Just go find her.

It's not like that.

I've only dined there a couple of times

and chatted casually. When did I ever look for her?

Keep chatting then.

I think you two are quite a good match.

It's really not what you think.

I'm not familiar with her at all.

I have meals there

simply because her place

is close to my company.

That's all.

We've never talked

about anything else.

Every time I finish eating,

I'm only being polite and saying goodbye

when leaving.

That's all.

I don't even have her WeChat.

How is that even knowing her?

You've got me wrong.

Why are you explaining it to me?

It's none of my business.

Of course I have to explain.

I can't let you stay mad.

I'm full.

Mom, Dad, Zeqiu,

you don't have to worry about money anymore.

I found a job

with good pay.

The signing bonus is high,

and the annual salary is good.

They want me to join as soon as I get my doctoral degree.

You went to find a job instead of going to school?

By then, you can close the supermarket.

I'll support you.

And Zeqiu won't have to work late for overtime pay

and project subsidies.

We can buy a big house,

so the whole family can live together again.

I'm not dead from overtime work yet.

Don't worry about family matters.

Just take care of yourself.

I'm a part of this family, too.

It's my responsibility, too.

I'm grown up now.

Stop treating me like a child.

Alright, stop it for now.

What exactly is going on?

Yeah.

Lin Zhixia feels that you are too overworked,

and we haven't fulfilled our duties as children,

especially her.

So she wants to leave school

and start working to make money.

Then can she

still work on the research she loves?

Yes, of course.

You keep quiet.

Let Zeqiu speak.

How could it be that easy?

If she goes there and they pay her,

she has to do their work.

Although it won't be like

she has to do whatever they ask her to,

her research will definitely be affected.

How can that be?

Wait, Zhixia,

do you have any idea what you are doing?

Your mom and I haven't seen much of the world.

But I

do know

our children well.

That's right, Zhixia.

Didn't Professor Shen also say before

that turning your passion into a career

is a kind of blessing?

You've been different from other kids since you were little.

And now you're doing what you love.

How could you just

give up your dream

for short-term gain?

Hey,

it's not like our family can't get by anymore

and needs you to go make money.

Yes, most people

in this society are busy working

to make money every day.

But

you can realize your dream

and have a decent income.

You... Girl,

what on earth is

going on in your head?

What Dad means is that

you only need to take good care of yourself.

Don't worry about the family.

But...

No buts!

Are your mom and I a burden to you now?

Are we so long in the tooth that we need you to support us?

I didn't mean that.

I just want everyone to live a better life.

Why are you all blaming me?

Do you think we'll live a happy life

if you make a sacrifice?

Zhixia,

do you know that

in that case,

your mom and I...

will feel like we're a burden to our children?

What are you talking about?

Our daughter didn't mean that.

Look how much you've infuriated yourself.

Zhixia,

Mom and Dad mean

that we hope

you can do what you want to do,

see the scenery you want to see,

and live the life you want to live.

This is our biggest wish.

Only then will your dad and I

be truly happy

and satisfied.

Do you get it?

Alright,

let's drop it.

You

should really think it over.

There's no rush for this anyway.

Just think twice.

Give it some more thought.

Think it through properly.

What's wrong?

I got scolded.

Who scolded you?

Firstly, it was Zeqiu,

and then the three of them took turns scolding me.

In the end, everyone was too angry to even eat.

You told them about your plan to go to work?

Of course they'd be angry.

You knew they would be angry?

So you also disagree, right?

So, Jiang Yubai,

you don't approve of me going to work at all.

And you still said,

"Whatever you decide to do, I'll support you." Why?

It's not like that.

I really think

you've got a point, too.

You're not telling the truth.

I'm really not lying.

I just feel that as smart as you are,

you must have

thought everything through.

Why do you always throw

your principles away when it's about me?

My principle is to make you happy.

Do you really like me?

Of course, I really like you.

If you like someone,

you'll help her become a better person.

You knew I was wrong,

but you didn't tell me.

I make mistakes, too.

There are also many things I don't understand.

Are you planning to never tell me?

Lin Zhixia,

you're right.

All these years,

I seem to have gotten used to looking up to you.

So I'd often go along

with whatever you said without even thinking.

It's my fault.

From now on,

if my opinions are

at odds with yours,

I will be completely honest with you.

No more looking up.

You're already looking down at me right now.

How about now?

It's all your fault.

If you had told me earlier,

I wouldn't have been scolded.

Yeah,

but I deserved to be scolded by you, too.

You know what?

You were quite fierce when scolding me just now.

No matter how long it's been,

I will never forget that day

and how I felt when I ran towards Jiang Yubai.

I finally realized

that the overwhelming bittersweet ache

wasn't about illness,

but about love,

heartache,

pity,

and reluctance to part.

At that very moment,

it felt like a crack opened up

in my inner universe,

revealing a new world that I had never reached before.

It turned out that all along,

I had been in love with Jiang Yubai.

It had grown since I didn't know when,

and had already run deep.
