[Shui]

Dr. Shen.

I've started a new round of treatment.

The doctor said this one is really important,

but it really hurts.

And they use a lot of medical terms

in English, so I can barely

make sense of what they're saying.

I'm totally lost.

I told you to learn English ages ago,

but you thought it was too much trouble and refused to learn.

Can't you comfort me a little

when I'm already like this?

But I won't hold it against you.

Let me tell you something.

I'm about to be moved into the sterile room.

Does that mean

it'll soon be my turn to have surgery?

The nurse is urging me to go in

and won't let me bring my phone.

But don't worry.

I'll keep you posted.

Bye.

Stay strong.

I'll be waiting for your good news.

Tingting!

Duan Qiyan?

W-Why are you here?

What's with this car?

I borrowed it, of course.

Hou Wei has been completely at my beck and call lately.

I asked him for a car,

and without a second thought, he lent it to me right away.

How is it?

Isn't it cool?

Cool my foot.

Don't you find it embarrassing?

How is this embarrassing?

Of course I should make a big show of it

when I pick up my girlfriend from work.

It's the most basic courtesy and sense of ceremony

I should have as your boyfriend.

Boyfriend?

Hello.

I'm Tingting's boyfriend, Duan Qiyan.

Is it really necessary

to make such a big deal

out of something so small?

Of course it is.

With a wife as wonderful as you,

I have to announce it to the whole world, don't I?

Give it a rest already.

We're right at the entrance of my office.

Alright, you've worked hard today.

Tell me what you want to eat,

and I'll take you out.

Since there's someone else here to pick you up, I'll get going then.

Be safe on your way back.

Alright, you too.

Rest early.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Nice car.

Isn't it?

What do you want to eat? Let's go.

Something expensive.

Hello, sir.

[DR Engagement Ring]

How can I help you?

I'd like to buy an engagement ring.

[The Only One for Only You]

Do you have any unique designs?

So what kind of girl

is your girlfriend?

She's like a star

that dispels the darkness in the night sky.

She's the most beautiful

and intelligent girl I've ever met.

Once you've met her,

there's no room in your heart for anyone else.

You might want to take a look at

at our DR HEART collection.

HEART stands for true love—

it allows you to give your most sincere feelings to your partner.

Plus,

our DR rings are meant to be given to only one person in a lifetime

symbolizing your commitment to loving only her.

It's beautiful.

I'll take this one.

[DR Engagement Ring]

Sure.

If you're sure you want this ring,

[The Only One for Only You]

you'll need to sign this "True Love Agreement."

Please take a look.

How's your packing going?

I'm almost done with clothes and daily necessities.

Just a few small things left to pack.

I still have to go to the hospital to pick up my medical exam results.

I'm running out of time.

I've prepared some common medicines for you—

cold remedy, allergy medicine, stomach medicine, etc.

There are also

band-aids and disinfectant wipes at the bottom.

I've labeled everything.

If you can't find anything, give me a call.

When did you prepare all this?

I started preparing it when I found out

you were going to join a closed program.

I also included

some chargers, adapters,

data cables, and stuff like that—

I packed 3 sets of each

in case you lose one.

And a flashlight.

It'll come in handy in case of a power outage.

I'm going to a closed experiment,

not going on a wilderness survival trip.

I can buy all these at the base.

Make sure to eat well

after I'm gone.

Got it.

Review your grad school prep materials

when you have time.

Got it, Ms. Lin.

There are also 2 warm sweaters.

Make sure to bundle up when it gets cold.

You don't have to worry about me that much.

Of course I'm worried about you.

I'm just as worried about you

as you are about me.

Alright, I promise you.

After you leave,

I'll definitely take good care of myself,

eat well,

study hard,

and video call you every day to check in.

I'll be the first to pick you up when you get back,

and you can reach me anytime.

I absolutely won't let you worry, Ms. Lin.

Jiang Yubai, do you have time tomorrow?

Let's get married.

Are you serious?

Of course I am.

You've come such a long way on your own,

and I don't want you to be all alone again

after I'm gone.

Just thinking about you being all by yourself

makes me so sad.

Once we're married,

you'll have me,

Zeqiu,

and my parents.

Then you won't be alone anymore.

No matter where you are or what you're doing,

there will always be someone by your side.

I want to entrust you to them,

and I also want to entrust them to you.

I...

I still have a lot to prepare.

Like the rings, flowers,

pre-wedding photos, and...

No need to prepare.

You don't need to prepare anything.

I just want us to become a family

before I leave.

Can I take you to a place tonight?

Su Mo.

What are you doing here?

Tingting.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

I've been thinking about something for quite a while.

I've decided to switch to Ms. Zhou's team.

We were working together just fine.

Why did you suddenly decide to switch teams?

I have to.

I don't know how to face you.

You don't know how to face me?

Why?

It's not your fault.

It's mine.

When I saw you with another guy,

I got really mad.

I couldn't even

control my own emotions.

I didn't know how to face you

or how to

manage my feelings.

I don't want my emotions

to affect your life

or our work together,

so I've decided to leave.

It's for the best for both of us.

Tingting.

You're the best agent I've ever worked with.

If one day I come to terms with things

and let go,

I'll definitely reach out to you to work together again.

I respect your decision,

and you're always welcome to come back to me.

Then...

I'll be leaving now.

No matter what Zhou arranges for you,

remember this:

acting well is the foundation of your career.

When you're surrounded by distractions that threaten to blind you, you need to

stay clear-headed and never lose sight of your original purpose.

Otherwise, the higher you climb, the harder you'll fall.

Su Mo, keep working hard and give it your all.

Rest assured, Tingting.

I'll do my best.

How are you handling the news

that Su Mo is switching teams?

Although you've personally mentored him from the start,

switching teams was his own request.

As a company,

we should respect the artist's choice.

I believe you can understand that, right?

But I've always recognized

your personal abilities

and your contributions to the company.

So today,

I have something to announce.

Starting today,

you'll be in charge of Agent Team 2.

So you're now the head of Agent Team 2.

Thank you, Mr. Li, and thank you to the company for your trust.

I'll continue to work hard

and strive for better results.

All right.

Going forward, get to know the colleagues in Team Two better

and communicate with them more.

Work steadily to move Team 2's projects

forward.

If you run into any difficulties

or need any help,

just let me know anytime.

Mr. Li, since you said

I could bring up any requests whenever I have them,

I might as well just get it out of the way now.

Alright, go ahead and tell me.

There's a young lady in the Planning Department

named Min.

She's very skilled at script planning.

Could you transfer her to my team?

Sure. Coordinate with the Planning Department

and have her transferred directly to your team.

Also,

regarding new media...

Just lay it all out at once.

Regarding new media,

I'd like to hire one more person, mainly responsible for

managing and following up on the artists' short-video content.

Internally,

I won't compete with Team 1 for new talent.

But for external projects,

do you think it'd be possible for the artists from both Team 1 and 2

to meet with them at the same time?

We have to treat everyone fairly, after all.

I don't have a problem with that.

I'm just worried about how the artists might feel about it.

Everything else is fine.

That's all for now.

You "don't have a problem with that"?

And "that's all"?

You're fighting for resources and grabbing people left and right.

I'm just doing this for the good of the company.

Alright.

I'll give you everyone you asked for,

and from now on, I'll notify you whenever there are major projects.

Is that settled?

Thank you, Mr. Li.

I'll definitely keep working hard.

Keep it up.

Jiang Yubai, I've arrived. Where are you?

[Jiang Yubai]

Go wait for me under the tree.

I'll be right there.

L-L-L-L-Lin Zhixia.

Hello.

Today, I want to tell you a story.

A story about a little boy.

Jiang

has been a proud and sensitive boy since childhood.

He's highly competitive

and consistently ranked first in every subject—

until he transferred schools in fourth grade

and met a girl he could never beat:

Lin Zhixia.

Do you remember?

Jiang's an expert at folding paper airplanes.

He even won first place in a paper airplane contest once.

The paper airplanes he folded had a kind of magic.

It was as if they were equipped with a built-in navigation system,

able to find Lin Zhixia with pinpoint accuracy.

And there was another hidden feature.

When the paper airplane flew toward Lin Zhixia,

it served as Jiang's opening line,

conveying his desire to get closer to her

on his behalf when he didn't know how to start the conversation.

[Become a genius like Lin Zhixia]

He liked Lin Zhixia,

yet he also wanted to beat her—

these two emotions

were constantly at odds in Jiang Yubai's mind.

Perhaps that was just the conflict of adolescence.

Sometimes, he'd even dream

[Become a genius like Lin Zhixia]

[Become best friends with Jiang Yubai]

that he had come in first place.

And in the dream, he'd comfort Lin Zhixia.

It's just that I don't want to win because of you.

And even less do I want to be known as the teammate of some genius.

I'd always been number one

when you were not in the picture.

And I want to see just how big the gap between us really is

when we compete against each other.

But at some point,

[The 6th Nanhai Provincial Symposium on Marine Science Development]

he stopped feeling conflicted.

He accepted that the person he liked

was better than him.

Even if all he could do was look up to her,

support her,

and stay by her side,

he was still happy.

No matter when or where,

Lin Zhixia would always be number one

in Jiang Yubai's heart.

That night,

Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia

talked a lot about the universe.

They even planned

to take a picture with the Sirius starlight from 8.6 years ago.

Lin Zhixia probably had no idea

how frustrated Jiang Yubai was at the time—

why his hands kept shaking,

and why he hadn't adjusted the camera settings properly.

Fortunately, on the bus,

[Happiness Is Actually So Simple]

when Lin Zhixia fell asleep leaning against his shoulder,

Jiang Yubai took another shot of them together

and has cherished it like a treasure ever since.

I did the math.

The light emitted by Sirius at that time

might have reached Earth by now,

and Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia

are still together.

Jiang Yubai often asks himself a question:

Is he a lucky person or not?

It seems that throughout his life,

sudden upheavals have always

disrupted his peaceful existence.

But he feels fortunate.

Perhaps all the bad things that have happened to him

have been redeemed by one huge stroke of luck:

being chosen by the fallen leaf.

The odds of that happening

are as slim as a tossed coin

landing upright in a crack in a rock,

as rare as two people meeting in a vast crowd,

or as unlikely as the person you like happening to like you back.

That bet under the big tree—

he was lucky enough

to lose it.

All along,

Jiang Yubai has been a boy who never quite grew up.

He's made mistakes,

had doubts, and lost his way.

But fortunately, Lin Zhixia has always been there

to pull him back to her side time and time again.

As long as Lin Zhixia is by his side,

Jiang Yubai has the courage to face anything.

Dr. Shen.

Hello.

I'm sorry

that I can't say goodbye to you in person this time.

By the time you hear this voice message,

I'll probably have already left this world.

I was very happy

in the time I had left.

Thank you for fighting for

every chance at treatment for me.

And thank you for giving me

so much courage and hope.

Dr. Shen, look.

There are already 20 stickers.

I'll always remember you.

I'll remember you too.

Dr. Shen.

You are truly a wonderful person.

You deserve to be loved

and have the very best life.

So please, live your life happily

and to the fullest.

[Hematology Department, Shen Fuxuan]

I'm leaving,

Dr. Shen.

Shui...

[Hematology Department, Shen Fuxuan]

While I was away,

Jiang Yubai worked

while poring over his particle physics textbooks.

I know

he wasn't just preparing for the graduate school entrance exam.

He was using those formulas

to fill the void left by my absence,

catching up on the time

slowed down by debt with every late-night calculation.

He wanted to become

someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with me—

not looking up to me,

not following in my footsteps,

but a lover who could stand on equal ground with me.

Shen Fuxuan devoted all his time to work.

We could roughly guess

what he'd been through,

but no one asked.

[Hematology Department]

Some wounds

heal best when left to mend in silence.

Zeqiu and Jin Baihui's

married life

was as calm and steady as a cup of warm water.

Though their courtship was brief,

it felt as though

they'd been together their whole lives.

Tang Tingting and Duan Qiyan

finally took their friends' bickering

and turned it into the playful quarrels of a couple.

Look.

[Starring: Su Mo]

It hasn't been long,

and Su Mo's already starring in a movie.

[The loneliness of a genius is the ultimate romance beyond understanding]

As the lead, no less.

[Genius and Magic] [In Theaters Now]

His name stands out,

and he's in a great spot.

It's just that he's not exactly a box office draw.

I mean, his acting is solid,

and he's got a really expressive gaze.

He's definitely got what it takes to become an award-winning actor.

Ouch. It hurts.

That's more like it.

When have my standards ever been off?

You're not wrong about that.

If your standards were bad, would you have chosen me?

Shameless.

Don't go. Wait for me.

[6 months later]

Finally.

[Letter of Admission]

I'm home.

Welcome home, honey.

What did you bring back this time?

The things Mom and Dad gave us last time

are still sitting in the fridge. We haven't even finished them yet.

These aren't those things.

These are some old items from home.

Mom and Dad were insisting on throwing them away as junk,

but I thought it would be a shame to toss them,

so I brought them back.

I didn't know you liked this kind of stuff as a kid,

little princess.

It's not mine.

It's Lin Zhixia's.

Lin Zhixia's been gone for almost a year now.

When is she coming back?

No idea.

It should be soon, though.

[Gentle Battle Hymn]

Don't look at this. Don't.

[Everything has cracks; that's where the light gets in.]

Please

pass this to Lin Zhixia for me.

Leave this to me.

I'll handle it.

Is this my book?

You glued it back together.

I thought it was a great book,

and it'd be a waste to throw it away.

[Gentle Battle Hymn]

Lin Zeqiu.

Don't tell me that you've had a crush on me

since back then.

No.

That's not the case.

Be honest with me.

I'm honest. We were both too young back then.

-Give it to me. -But you glued it back so nicely.

It's not like that.

Every piece is there.

-Every piece looks so carefully restored. -It's not like that...

Lin Zeqiu.

Thank you for finding me, piece by piece,

and putting me back together.

[Gentle Battle Hymn]

[3 years later]

Now, let's welcome the principal

[Depart When the Wind Brushes Our Sleeves Grow When Stars Fall upon Our Shoulders]

to present commemorative medals to outstanding alumni

[Nanhai No. 1 High School Anniversary]

including Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai.

At this moment, we'd especially like to

introduce 2 outstanding alumni:

Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai.

They are both distinguished scientists

who graduated from our No. 1 High School,

each achieving remarkable accomplishments

in the fields of mathematics and physics.

They are not only a husband-and-wife pair of scientists,

but also each other's

closest classmates,

[Depart When the Wind Brushes Our Sleeves Grow When Stars Fall upon Our Shoulders]

[Nanhai No. 1 High School Anniversary]

dearest friends, and lifelong partners.

Once again, let's give our applause

[Depart When the Wind Brushes Our Sleeves Grow When Stars Fall upon Our Shoulders]

to all of our outstanding alumni.

[Nanhai No. 1 High School Anniversary]

I'm the one giving the speech again.

You always dump this kind of work on me.

It can't be helped. You're the boss in our family after all.

Don't be nervous.

I'll be right there beside you.

Next, please welcome Lin Zhixia,

representing our outstanding alumni,

to give a speech.

Please.

[Depart When the Wind Brushes Our Sleeves Grow When Stars Fall upon Our Shoulders]

[Nanhai No. 1 High School Anniversary]

Hello, everyone.

I'm Lin Zhixia.

Thank you to my alma mater

for giving me this honor.

I'm by no means a model of success.

I'm simply a fellow traveler

on everyone's journey of seeking knowledge.

I'm deeply grateful to my teachers.

Through their own actions, they taught me

not to be afraid to ask questions—

no matter how simple

or naive

they may seem.

Many great discoveries

begin with a question

that others have overlooked.

Class,

let's give a round of applause

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

to Lin Zhixia to cheer her up.

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

Thank you, Director.

All the best.

I know you can do it.

I'd also like to thank my friends.

They've helped me realize

that on the journey of exploring the world,

in addition to cold, hard data,

we also need the warmth of companionship.

We may go on to pursue different paths,

but it's precisely this kind of support and companionship

that has built

the strongest emotional foundation between us.

Aiming for first place in the entire province.

Deal.

Deal.

Deal.

May our friendship...

-Last forever! -Last forever!

I'd also like to thank my family.

Although they don't know

what a Hilbert space is

or what quantum entanglement means,

they've constructed

an absolutely stable reference frame

for me in the simplest possible way.

Zhixia.

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.

That's our biggest wish.

I'd like to thank my husband.

For

helping me find

my own way to connect with this world

with infinite patience.

In the universe,

there's a remarkable celestial structure

called a binary star system.

Though they differ in mass

and have distinct orbits,

they revolve around each other

and move together.

Just like us,

each going about our own lives yet watching over one another,

holding fast to our love for life

and our commitment to each other.

Jiang Yubai

will always love Lin Zhixia.

Lin Zhixia

will also always love Jiang Yubai.

You are like the last anchor

that keeps me steady in this world.

Thank you

for not giving up on me.

Jiang Yubai, do you know about time capsules?

Let's write down our wishes

and come back and open them together

when we enter middle school.

Jiang Yubai, I declare that

from now on, you're my binary star partner.

Finally, I'd like to share this with you all:

life

is a token of the future entrusted to time.

For each of us, the future

is not a destination we passively await,

but a fluid reality

shaped by every action we take in the present.

Therefore,

the future is both the result of our present choices

and the light we project ahead.

Life across the ages is like a journey against the current;

the future through the ages is like a harmonious melody.

I wish all of you

to cherish today,

seize the moment,

live in harmony with the future,

and fully embrace the freedom of life.

Thank you all.
