[Our Generation]

[Episode 10]

Your cellphone is ringing.

Qin Ye Yun?

Hello?

Is this okay?

- What's wrong? - What happened?

Qin Ye Yun called me to help Cherry and Jiang Qiao Xi.

This won't be easy.

Let's go. Let's go together.

If you can't handle it, we two can still help you.

Aren't you going to ask what it's about?

Jiang Qiao Xi and Cherry's situation must be related to his mother.

What else could it be?

You guessed right,

but neither of you can help with this.

What do you mean? It's better when more people help.

Let's go. Stop wasting time.

Yu Qiao, are you really going?

Why not?

We've grown up with Cherry since childhood.

We must go. Let's go.

Jiang Qiao Xi!

[Jialin City First Experimental High School]

Hello, Aunt Liang.

Ms. He said she needs to discuss something with Jiang Qiao Xi.

Did she mention what it's about?

She said there is study material for him.

What material?

What material?

Probably exam-related materials.

Let me call Ms. He.

Hello?

How can that be?

I'm on my way now!

Xiao Zhang, go with him to get the study materials.

- Then, take him to the training camp. - All right.

Just do what I said.

Ms. Liang, you aren't taking this car. Is that right?

About the ratio I mentioned earlier…

[Jialin City First Experimental High School]

[Keep Quiet]

The good news is Jiang Qiao Xi's mother left.

The bad news is, the driver followed him to get the materials.

Well…

We need another plan.

Don't worry, I'll distract the driver,

while you quickly pass the items to Jiang Qiao Xi.

Jiang Qiao Xi, didn't you leave with your mother?

Ms. He, I think I forgot some materials.

Cen Xiao Man already organized all the materials for you.

She did a thorough job. There is nothing more.

Ms. He, you can't be so certain.

Something must be missing.

Why are you making a fuss?

Cen Xiao Man and I prepared that material.

Qiao Xi, don't you have class this afternoon?

- Didn't your mom ask to get you there on time? - Yes.

Cai Fang Yuan, why are you winking?

Ms. He, he is just worried I might forget something.

Since I didn't, I'll leave now.

All right.

Jiang Qiao Xi.

Good luck with the competition!

Thank you, Ms. He.

Let's go.

Jiang Qiao Xi?

Didn't he leave with his mother?

Who is that person with him?

Don't Qun Shan and the others usually eat in the cafeteria at this time?

What are they doing here?

Qiao Xi, I'm going over there to eat noodles.

Do you want to wait in the car or outside?

I'll need half an hour to finish eating.

Keep an eye on the time.

Thank you, Uncle.

Do you like it?

Have some, too.

It's all yours.

I want to eat with you.

Then I'll have some, too.

Jiang Qiao Xi...

when you're alone,

do you often feel lonely?

I don't.

Being alone doesn't make me feel lonely.

What is the source of your loneliness?

It's our meeting.

Our meeting?

Before I turned ten, I was always alone,

but solving math problems kept the loneliness away.

Ever since I met you, even math doesn't help anymore.

I can't overcome the loneliness.

That means your math problems aren't challenging enough.

Yes, I need to find a problem that's tougher than you.

What do you mean by that?

How have you been at school lately?

I can handle everything else.

Physics is just too difficult.

Why are you so good at solving problems?

It is nothing special.

I just apply the formulas.

You are the amazing one. You can solve problems without formulas.

If I'm so impressive…

why didn't you dare look at me in the office earlier?

You didn't look at me either.

That's because I…

Because what?

Tell me first. Why didn't you?

Just because…

you look all grown up today!

Do you want some water?

There is no need for that.

After all these years and so much effort,

I'm finally able to have a meal with Lin Cherry.

I must eat more.

We'll have more opportunities to eat together.

You, me, Qin Ye Yun, Yu Qiao, Du Shang, and Cai Fang Yuan.

We'll share many more meals together.

We'll eat our way through the provincial city, and then across the entire country.

Except, I don't want to eat my way across the country.

I only want to eat meals Aunt Juan cooks.

Just like when we were children.

Then, you must pay for the meals just like you did back then.

Fine. I'll wait until I've earned enough for meals.

What spell did Lin Qi Le cast on Jiang Qiao Xi?

He actually followed her into that alley!

If he hangs out with that kind of person, he will ruin his future.

What's the big deal?

They used to play together as children.

As they grow up, they just hold onto old habits.

It's nothing. I don't care at all.

Are you trying to convince me or yourself?

Xiao Man, stop deceiving yourself.

What are you talking about? I don't understand.

You know better than anyone.

Jiang Qiao Xi treats Lin Qi Le differently from everyone else.

So what? It's just temporary.

Jiang Qiao Xi is the best and most outstanding.

As long as I remain the most outstanding, he will see it clearly.

Do you really think this has anything to do with outstanding performance?

You are the best, he is the best,

so naturally, you two should be together.

Even if that's irrelevant, we knew Jiang Qiao Xi first!

I met Jiang Qiao Xi first!

Xiao Man, calm down. How about this idea?

Let's tell Aunt Liang about this.

Didn't she say so?

She told us to keep an eye on Jiang Qiao Xi.

We must guide him back onto the right path.

This is my personal matter. I'll handle it myself.

There's no need to involve Aunt Liang.

- Hand it to me when you're done. - All right, Ms. He.

Hello, Ms. He.

Xiao Man, come here!

You did an excellent job as the leader of the basketball cheer squad!

Today's performance was excellent.

Thank you, Ms. He. I still have a lot to improve on.

Don't be modest. You have great organizational skills.

Lin Qi Le has no dance background, yet she performed so well.

Your coach couldn't stop praising you.

You both have brought honor to our class.

Ms. He, it's not just about basketball cheer squads.

I'll also work hard on my studies and bring glory to our class.

Good girl!

This cheerleading experience has brought you and Lin Qi Le closer together.

Help her more with her studies from now on.

She is not stupid. She is also very diligent.

Since she is new, she can't keep up with our pace.

Guide her more.

Such a good student shouldn't be transferred out of Class 18. Don't you agree?

Don't worry, Ms. He.

I'll help Lin Qi Le.

- Goodbye, Ms. He. - All right.

You're right. We should help Jiang Qiao Xi.

Set him back on the right path.

I'll call Aunt Liang right now.

There's no need!

Aunt Liang isn't the only one who should know about this.

Yu Qiao, why are you so gloomy?

I am not!

Then why are you silent?

Lin Cherry and Jiang Qiao Xi are crossing the line.

They insist on hiding together and eating snacks alone.

It's not like you've never had date buns.

Martial arts have given you a simple mind and strong limbs.

Do you think they're actually eating date buns right now?

Of course not!

Aren't they also eating lotus root sandwiches?

Reading all those teen novels didn't improve your comprehension.

Yu Qiao, didn't Feng Le Tian promise to lend you "Zhu Xian" first after he read it?

In the end, Huang Zhan Jie snatched it first.

Huang Zhan Jie said you wouldn't mind.

"I wouldn't mind?" How does he know I don't mind?

I see! Getting it back now would be tough.

He's currently reading Zhang Xiao Fan's "Seven Meridians Tournament" part.

That part is super exciting. He won't give it back.

Then why should I put up with it?

Does he not understand the concept of first come, first served?

Since when did "first come, first served" matter so much?

What is meant for you will find a way to reach you.

If it's not yours, you can't complain, even if another person gets it first.

Qin Ye Yun, say that again!

I'll make a note of this and tell Feng Le Tian to include it in his novel.

Go away!

Jia Si Si and Hu Yan.

What are these two gossips doing here?

Their mouths are like sieves. They spill everything.

If they find out…

What are you two doing here?

Then what are you doing here?

What else would we do at the basketball court?

What about you? Are you here to find out more gossip?

We are just wandering around at random.

We are wandering around at random.

It is not wandering at random.

Yu Qiao, let me tell you!

We both heard Jiang Qiao Xi and Lin Qi Le are there alone together.

Really? Who said that?

It's none of your business. Just play basketball.

Really? Who told you? Is it reliable?

The source is confidential. The information is reliable.

If you do not believe it, come with us to check it out.

Yu Qiao, it's best that you don't go.

As your classmates, we are worried you'll be upset.

Let's go!

If you add the time from here to the car, there is about one minute left.

What can you do in one minute?

We are so silly! Why obsess over one minute?

Actually, we've been very lucky today.

I've achieved something incredible.

We even had a meal together.

We should be satisfied.

But I'm not satisfied.

Cherry, you shouldn't be satisfied, either.

We shouldn't be like this.

Hello?

What's wrong?

Come here!

Where are you going?

What's the matter?

Jia Si Si! Hu Yan!

Do you two know why people love to gossip?

What do you mean?

Because no one listens when people talk about themselves.

Yu Qiao, you actually said a sensible thing. You're so impressive!

Feng Le Tian's absence is truly a loss.

He missed out on collecting many great quotes for his material.

Yu Qiao, what do you mean by that?

Can you not be so sarcastic?

If you're angry with others, don't vent your anger on us.

Why so defensive? I didn't say it was you.

Jia Si Si and Hu Yan are on their way.

Jia Si Si?

Then why are you climbing the wall?

Just listen to me!

I'll do it!

Let's go!

Jia Si Si, when will you update that comic you're drawing?

What comic?

The one like "Meteor Garden",

where several boys pursue one girl.

Si Si, do you actually draw a comic like that?

Why didn't you tell me about this?

How did you know? Did you look through my things?

I'm not that idle.

Isn't your high school friend Wu Shuang in the same cheer squad as me?

You showed her, and then she let me take a look.

We all think you draw well and the story is interesting.

Really? I drew it just for fun.

Hurry up and climb up here, too!

Be careful! Go up first.

Don't move. I'll come help you!

It's really high.

- I'll get down first. Don't move! - All right.

Even casual drawings reflect your own story.

Why not focus on your own story instead of caring about others' stories?

Your own story is also interesting.

All right!

Wait a second, Qin Ye Yun.

You used to look down on everyone.

Why are you being so nice today?

I get it now.

Si Si, don't listen to their nonsense!

They are from Qunshan. They are Lin Qi Le's friends.

They are shouting so loudly! They must be buying time for those two.

Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!

Let me help you!

I can do it.

I'm okay.

- There's a dog! - Don't run, Jiang Qiao Xi!

Don't run! Put me down!

Put me down!

Stop running!

They are not here.

There's no one here.

Stop chasing us! Please!

Are you okay?

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

- Let me help you up. - I'm okay, really.

- Are you hurt? - Are you okay?

No, you protected me.

You didn't get hurt, did you?

What's wrong?

You're bleeding!

You're bleeding!

Cherry!

Let me take you to the hospital.

[Emergency]

[Emergency Imaging Department]

[CT Radiography Room]

Cherry, didn't you go back to school yet?

Uncle, I'm really sorry.

I caused you so much trouble.

I'm so sorry.

You've been apologizing all this time.

The examination is still in process.

Let's wait for the test results first.

Xiao Zhang.

Mr. Jiang.

- How is Qiao Xi? - He is still being examined.

- Is he in the CT scan room. - Yes.

- I'll go check. - All right.

Cherry, why are you here?

Uncle Jiang, I…

Jiang Qiao Xi, he…

He was hit by an electric bike

to protect me.

It's all right. Stop crying.

I'm sorry.

I'll go check on him. Don't worry.

Let's ignite the passion within us!

Let this power propel us forward!

Cherry!

How is he?

How is Jiang Qiao Xi? Is he all right?

He is fine. He just lost a lot of blood and needs stitches.

Jia Si Si told us Cen Xiao Man and Fei Lin Ge saw the two of you in the alley.

I guessed it.

I'll go back to class.

Cherry!

Cen Xiao Man is crying in the classroom.

She is upset about Jiang Qiao Xi's injury.

She thinks it's all your fault.

If she and those girls confront you when you go back…

I'm not afraid anymore.

I'm not afraid of this or of them.

They should be afraid of me. I'll confront them first.

Why are you standing around? Let's go!

Xiao Zhang gave your mom the electric bike driver's number.

As for the details of your accident

and the conditions that led to it,

it seems she already knows everything.

Qiao Xi,

the most important thing right now

is your studies.

Dad, how can you still say such things at a time like this?

Please help me!

Or should I say,

help our family for once.

My mom said that if I contact Lin Cherry again,

she will transfer Uncle Lin to the Fujian construction site.

Dad,

relocating a whole family to an unfamiliar place

is something you understand better than anyone.

If she really harms Uncle Lin,

I'll fight back.

You'll fight back?

How exactly will you fight back?

I'll report her for abusing her power for personal gain.

You two are mother and son. Why did it have to get to this point?

Do you wonder how it got to this point?

Dad, there is a reason Mom and I have gotten to this point.

As a father, shouldn't you take some responsibility?

All these years, whenever I had conflicts with her,

you were practically invisible.

You completely ignored our feelings.

Only after she had totally suppressed me and declared victory,

you would step in to comment on her actions and offer consolation.

Aren't you concerned about this family at all?

All these years, you've always kept yourself away from the storm.

Son, all these years, I've been right in the middle of the storm.

I've never escaped it.

Yes, your alleged "storm"

was just arguing with her over who was wrong in that incident.

What about now?

I'm your child, too.

You're not an outsider to us.

Do you think what she is doing to me is right?

If it's wrong,

can't you stand up and say something?

Just this once?

Cen Xiao Man just called Jiang Qiao Xi's mother.

How could it be fake?

Jiang Qiao Xi's mother said so herself.

Jiang Qiao Xi needed stitches.

She is furious!

Is Jiang Qiao Xi on a path to self-destruction?

Lin Qi Le, what exactly did you do to Jiang Qiao Xi?

Qiao Xi!

My son.

Tell me what you want.

I don't see why I should tell you about what I did to Jiang Qiao Xi.

I can tell you, though,

what I'm about to do to Jiang Qiao Xi.

I'll become best friends with Jiang Qiao Xi.

I want to be friends with Lin Cherry,

openly and honestly.

At school,

I'll eat with him and the friends I choose myself.

We'll go to school together.

And leave school together.

We'll take the bus.

Or ride bikes.

If we have time on weekends…

We'll go hiking together.

Just like when we were children.

♫ Summer cherries are tender and cool ♫

♫ I gaze intently from afar ♫

♫ Unspoken wishes of that year ♫

♫ Your familiar shadow stretches further ♫

♫ Beyond my sight ♫

♫ Your silhouette appears so gentle ♫

♫ The world keeps turning ♫

Judging from Lin Qi Le's tone,

Jiang Qiao Xi is really close to her.

Even though Jiang Qiao Xi got hurt, he did it willingly.

♫ I often remember the days ♫ ♫ We spent daydreaming ♫

♫ Reality unfolds before me ♫

Lin Qi Le, don't you know Jiang Qiao Xi's mother hates you?

I know! Yet Jiang Qiao Xi doesn't hate me.

I don't want to be friends with his mother, either.

The two of you aren't from the same world.

Say whatever you want.

I want you to know

that your gossip won't affect us anymore.

♫ You're the key to all my dreams ♫

♫ I'll accompany you ♫ ♫ As you become your true self ♫

♫ Our story is coming to life ♫

♫ My stubbornness grows wild ♫

♫ I won't stop running forward ♫

♫ My silent dream is calling out to me ♫

I think she might actually grow wings.

I read in a book that if you try hard,

and jump far enough, you'll grow wings on your back.

And then…

♫ I have always been here ♫

♫ Dancing lights swirl in my palms ♫

♫ Illuminating your face ♫

♫ Your fleeting smile ♫

♫ Suddenly hidden once again ♫

Let me see!

The scan results are in. There is no intracranial bleeding.

It's a superficial wound. Nothing serious.

Does it hurt?

No.

You lost so much blood and even needed stitches.

How could it not hurt?

You children forget the pain once it's gone,

but mothers carry that pain forever.

Do you understand?

Take your medicine.

Precautions for medication.

Avoid broad beans, fish, and cold acidic foods for 24 hours.

I know. The doctor already told me.

Do you know these restrictions are meant to protect you?

Otherwise, you'll end up in real trouble, bleeding like today!

They are just minor injuries. I'm not in pain.

I'm going back to my room.

Do you think it doesn't hurt?

Then, you should settle your debts.

I've warned you before. You know this.

Mom, do you think I can't handle it?

I'm afraid you'll be unable to handle it.

Let me tell you, Mom.

- If you do anything to the Lin family… - Liang Hong Fei,

I'm warning you. If you do anything to the Lin family,

I'll report you for abusing your power for personal gain!

Jiang Zheng, you're becoming a more successful leader

and an even better father.

At that time, you failed to protect Meng Chu.

Now, will you let Jiang Qiao Xi destroy himself?

I don't want to talk about the past.

Right now, Qiao Xi wants normal friendships.

Why do you call that "destroying himself"?

What kind of friendships?

When your son was little, he even jumped from here because of her.

He limped all the way back to Qunshan.

Now, because of her, he fell again, and his head was covered in blood.

If things are like this now, dare you imagine the future?

What kind of friendship is this? She is a disaster!

Liang Hong Fei, he ended up like this because you pushed him too hard!

When it comes to disasters, we are the real ones.

You don't deserve to be the father of my two children!

Since neither of you wants the Lin family to leave,

we'll transfer to an international school. The farther away, the better.

I'll accompany you. Let's relocate.

I know transferring schools is easy for you,

but Olympiad Winter Camp starts soon.

I'm worried a school change might affect my performance.

Do you know what you are saying?

You're saying such things for someone like her?

You were chosen for the Math Olympiad.

No matter what happens, you should choose Math over her.

This has nothing to do with choosing someone.

If we really want to talk about choices, I will choose myself.

I choose my own life.

Who gives you the right to choose your own life?

What about me? What about my life?

Mom.

It's your life. Why are you demanding your life from me?

I'm sorry, Mom.

I want to win back the trophy for Jiang Meng Chu.

Can I start working on problems now?

You are using your brother to pressure me, aren't you?

I'm not.

It's you who has been using Jiang Meng Chu to pressure me.

Ms. Liang, please have some water.

There is no need to be so polite.

I'm here without notice and disturbed your rest,

but as mothers, I hope you can understand.

Did something happen, Ms. Liang?

My driver called me during a meeting this afternoon.

Jiang Qiao Xi was hit by an electric bike.

He fell, split his head, and needed several stitches.

Is Qiao Xi okay now?

Cherry,

I heard he was with you when he was injured.

I am his mother, and my son suffered serious injuries.

I want to know why this happened.

Cherry, can you tell us what exactly happened?

What exactly happened?

I'm sorry, Aunt.

Jiang Qiao Xi was hurt to protect me.

Cherry!

Ms. Liang, I'm truly sorry.

We'll cover Qiao Xi's medical expenses.

If there is anything else we should do…

Never mind about the medical expenses.

I only want to understand what really happened.

Cherry, my driver was meant to take Qiao Xi to Olympiad Camp this afternoon.

Why was he with you?

Why was he injured to save you?

Speak up!

This afternoon, we were in the alley, and I brought him some food.

When classmates came over, we hid to avoid them.

The accident happened after that.

Why were you hiding from your classmates?

We were worried they might misunderstand if they saw us together.

Misunderstand what?

Aunt Liang, Jiang Qiao Xi and I didn't do anything wrong.

We are just good friends.

Cherry,

there is no need to be nervous.

I'm not blaming you.

You are young and inexperienced.

Sheng Juan,

the last incident already caused embarrassment.

Now, another accident has happened.

Ms. Liang, we've caused you another problem.

I'm not worried about Qiao Xi.

After all, he is a boy.

He is also popular with female classmates at school.

I can understand that Cherry wants to spend time with him,

but Cherry is a girl, after all.

I don't want Qiao Xi to cause any gossip about Cherry.

Aunt Liang, gender has nothing to do with this.

My friendship with Jiang Qiao Xi isn't related to his popularity, either.

Cherry!

This child speaks too bluntly.

She is just a child.

It's fine.

Then I won't disturb you!

Our apologies for the trouble, Ms. Liang.

Sheng Juan,

children are no aware of boundaries.

We, as parents, must set proper boundaries for them,

otherwise, the rumors out there

will target both our children and us.

If they call it "indulgence" later, it might sound better,

but if they accuse us of encouraging behavior,

then it'll be even worse.

Ms. Liang, please take care!

How could she say that about you and Dad?

It's all right! Qiao Xi had an accident.

Your Aunt Liang only spoke out of fear and anxiety.
