Zheng Yu.

You must want to know what happened during the immunology exam.

I know who threw the paper ball.

I saw it.

Who?

We shouldn't talk here.

Let's go somewhere else.

I know a nice restaurant nearby. It's my treat.

Let's talk here.

Who threw the paper ball?

I will tell you.

However, I hope you can agree to one condition.

It's nothing difficult.

From now on, I hope you won't block my calls.

I have limited call credits. Just contact me on WeChat.

You've muted notifications from me, haven't you?

You never reply.

UNMUTE NOTIFICATIONS

Now can you tell me?

It was Sun Dongchao.

Why would he do that?

To frame someone.

I don't get it.

I would understand if he threw the ball at me.

What does he have against Chen Yanzhou?

So he meant to throw the paper ball at me.

That's right.

During exam week,

Sun Dongchao told a few of his close friends

that he would teach you a lesson during the final exam.

In the end,

he threw it too hard.

So he knew that was a surveillance blind spot.

Our sophomore ecology course was in that old classroom.

You might not remember.

Sun Dongchao was absent more than three times.

Mr. Qin failed him.

I don't remember.

Sun Dongchao denied it,

forcing Mr. Qin to check the footage to prove his absences.

Turns out the classroom surveillance has a blind spot.

He got away with it.

If not for fear that people would use this to ruin your competition chances,

I wouldn't have revealed this.

Chen Yanzhou offers bribes and uses his connections.

What becomes of him is none of my concern.

So that text was from you.

I just saw it by chance.

If it wasn't anonymous,

would you have listened to me?

It was for your own good.

Really? Good in what way?

When Sun Dongchao called me a pushover in the dorm,

you ran over to tell me.

When he wanted to frame me,

why didn't you warn me?

Or is it that

you wanted to see me framed,

see me fail,

and then play the hero?

Zheng Yu,

you're really overthinking it.

I thought he was just bluffing. I didn't think he would follow through.

I'd like to think you're better than this.

But the thought of Sun Dongchao getting away with it

and enjoying his winter break

doesn't sit well with me.

Don't worry.

I will tell everything to the advisor

and make him pay the price.

Do it now.

I need to see her anyway.

Zheng Yu,

do you not trust me, or do you want to keep an eye on me?

I have to turn in my financial aid verification form.

My financial aid is far more important than this.

Let's go.

So Sun Dongchao originally meant to throw the paper ball to Zheng Yu.

Why didn't you tell me when I asked you about this before?

Sun Dongchao warned everyone not to tell.

But I don't want him to escape punishment.

What if he does worse later?

So after thinking about it,

I decided to come forward.

Got it.

However, right now,

it's just your testimony.

If Sun Dongchao doesn't admit it, our hands will still be tied.

Others in the class heard him say it.

If necessary, I can help get in touch with them.

2024 FALL SEMESTER EXAM SEATING CHART

On the day of the exam, was the rear door left open?

I'll top up your phone.

Zheng Yu, what do you need?

I'm turning in my form.

Put it on my desk.

I was quite worried that you were too withdrawn.

Now I'm glad to see you and Xie Yudi getting along so well.

He and I have no relationship.

I said too much.

I have to get going.

Just put the form on my desk.

FROM: ZHENG YU SUMMARY OF NETWORKING EVENT

UNIVERSITY FINANCIAL AID VERIFICATION FORM STUDENT: ZHENG YU

MOM IN VEGETATIVE STATE, NO INCOME

- You-- - Shut up.

Chen Yanzhou, are you at the campus?

There has been a conclusion to the cheating incident.

T5-201 CORRIDOR-01

Did Sun Dongchao admit it?

When he got the call from me,

he confessed everything.

He may have done this,

but he has very little guts.

Besides, the timing matches up.

Tomorrow, the university will issue a statement

to clear your name

and disclose the disciplinary action against Sun Dongchao.

Sorry for the trouble lately.

I didn't do much.

You should thank Xie Yudi.

Xie Yudi?

How long have you been in this class?

Don't tell me you don't know who he is.

I think I vaguely know who he is.

I just don't understand why he helped me.

That's because…

He and I have no relationship.

That's because you're all classmates. Helping each other is normal.

Miss, when will the award money be issued?

Do you mean the Vitality Award?

The teachers are on break.

It won't be until next semester.

Don't worry.

You're securely in the number one spot.

I mean the first-class scholarship.

That's also postponed.

You've never cared about the money.

What if someone needs money?

What did you say?

Nothing.

Well, I'm going to go now.

Okay.

SCHOLARSHIP AWARD CEREMONY FOR LOW-INCOME STUDENTS

Is this photo newly put up?

I never noticed it.

It's over two years old.

You usually come here for academic matters.

It's normal if you've never noticed it.

SCHOLARSHIP AWARD CEREMONY FOR LOW-INCOME STUDENTS

I DIDN'T MEAN TO LOOK AT IT

Doesn't that sound too defensive?

NOW THE PE CLASS IS OVER, I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO DO ANY ROLLERBLADING

That seems a bit forced.

RECALL MESSAGE

Your dad cut up some fruit. Eat some.

I have good news.

Final grades are out. I'm ranked first overall.

Really?

Unfortunately…

What's wrong?

The scholarship won't be disbursed until next semester.

Otherwise, I could take you out to buy a gift.

I thought you were going to say something else.

All I want is for everything to go well for you.

You've been so busy since you returned to university.

Be mindful of your health.

Since you're on break,

why don't you get another checkup?

Another checkup?

See Dr. Li.

Okay.

Is there a rehab center behind the hospital?

I think so. Why do you ask?

Thank you.

CORE INTRODUCTION TO REHABILITATION THERAPY

Which ward are you going to?

I know this building well.

I don't know which ward.

Do you at least know the patient's name?

I only know the name of the patient's family member.

I think I did something stupid.

Before coming,

I thought to buy some fruit to visit the patient.

- But… - It's no big deal.

I've never seen any friends visit Xiaozheng.

If her mom is aware,

I bet your presence here

makes her happier than eating fruit.

Does Zheng Yu come every day?

Not necessarily.

When she's busy, she doesn't come often.

I haven't seen her for a few days.

I heard she didn't get some scholarship.

What was it called?

The Vitality Award.

She worked so hard but ended up not getting it.

She must be terribly upset.

And that student in number one

came out of nowhere.

In the past two years,

I didn't hear her mention them.

Since Zheng Yu isn't here today, I'll be going.

So soon?

- Thank you for showing me the way today. - Don't mention it.

Just like Xiaozheng,

call me Ms. Yang.

Oh, right.

Ms. Yang, why don't I give this to you?

Thank you for your efforts.

Okay.

Well,

I guess if you take this with you, you will probably feel bad.

Well then, I'm going now.

Xiaochen.

My favorite fruit

is actually waxberries.

Waxberries are a summer fruit and aren't available now.

Then continue being friends with Xiaozheng,

at least until summer.

Then I'll get to eat waxberries from you.

Come visit often.

Okay.

It's her, isn't it?

Zheng Yu.

- It's her! - It is! Stop!

Stop running!

Stop!

Stop!

Have a death wish?

- Stop! - Sir, drive.

- Stop! - Stop!

Goddamn it.

WU FA

Zheng Yu, listen up.

Running is useless.

I'll always find you!

The 30,000 yuan disbursement is postponed.

When next semester starts,

I will send it to you in full.

Do you think I'd still believe you?

Believe what you want.

Five days.

I will give you another five days.

After five days, if you're missing a cent,

I will pay your mother a visit.

At the lab,

were you on the phone with this guy?

What?

Nothing.

I'm warning you.

Don't tell anyone about this,

especially people at the university.

Don't worry. I don't have time for gossip.

THE 12TH, 13TH FIVE-YEAR PLAN

She worked so hard but ended up not getting it.

She must be terribly upset.

Why were you here?

I went to get a checkup.

- Where are you headed? - The convenience store.

Just drop me off anywhere.

I'm going to the lab. It's on the way.

CONFIRM ROUTE CHANGE

Continue to Lefu Yayuan.

Okay.

What the heck?

Didn't you see me here?

I…

Think you're so cool, getting dropped off at work?

Stop thinking about slacking off.

Can I get this month's wages in advance?

Do you have to pay on dates?

I need it urgently.

It doesn't matter.

Even bank loans collect interest.

I run a convenience store, not a charity.

Don't assume I don't do good deeds.

I give up my seat and help seniors cross the street.

I do all sorts of good with one exception.

I don't do good deeds that cost money.

I only

do free good deeds.

Got it.

I can't give you an advance,

but I can arrange more shifts.

That will increase your income.

I won't come tomorrow. You watch the shop.

Not tomorrow.

I have tutoring.

Flowers cost 300 yuan.

You sent me 300 yuan this morning.

You're missing the errand fee.

This is the receipt.

My phone is charging inside.

Here's a flower as payment.

There. It costs more than 20 yuan.

Anything else?

I tutored for ten days this month, 40 hours in total.

I want to settle that in advance.

For the past half year, all payments were monthly.

Now you suddenly propose this today.

Do you have any integrity?

You may have forgotten.

Half a year ago, we agreed on daily pay.

I have the chat history.

You felt monthly was more convenient,

so you unilaterally decided on it.

I urgently need money now.

This money is for my legitimate services.

Do you want to settle the score now?

Fine. Let's make things clear.

These are all videos of your lessons at our house.

Come take a look.

You didn't inform me

about a camera.

Why should I tell you?

I pay for your time.

Why can't I monitor you?

Don't you want to settle the score? Go ahead.

Come on.

On November 8th,

you tutored for four hours and used the toilet twice.

Didn't I tell you before

not to drink too much water?

I'm a germaphobe.

I don't like others using our bathroom.

On November 23rd, at 3:15 p.m.,

Xiaojie ate snacks in his room.

Didn't I tell you not to let him eat that junk?

Did you remind him?

On November 29th, you took 15 minutes

to explain one problem.

He still didn't get it. Shouldn't you reflect on that?

These failures are grounds for zero payment this month.

I can also make sure that this area's tutoring circle shuts you out.

Nothing to say now?

I didn't actually want to nitpick.

If you realize your problems today,

I can put it behind us.

If you insist on settling the score,

don't force my hand.

Pay me.

Do you not understand?

I'm not giving you anything!

Did your ledger record this?

October 24th.

My last-minute overtime.

You added me to Pan Jie's school parent group.

You said checking homework kept you from your beauty sleep.

What's your point?

If I can't get the money

and can't find a new job nearby,

I'll have to try here.

LIYUAN BUILDING 9

Zheng Yu.

Hello? Sorry, I didn't check my phone.

I have translated two-thirds of the document you wanted.

Tomorrow?

I don't think that's feasible.

My laptop isn't working.

Okay, I'll send it to you in a bit.

Thank you.

Does Jiang Haixing know you came to see me?

He's drinking at a friend's place tonight.

In this exam,

I ranked second in my grade.

I improved.

That's great.

Zheng Yu,

how have you been lately?

The same as usual.

I didn't go to the hospital this semester, afraid Jiang Haixing would find out.

His nose is sharper than a dog's.

Last time, he smelled the disinfectant on me

and went mad at the hospital.

Does he treat you well?

Do you have enough money?

It's all right.

Whenever I need something,

I tell him, and he buys it for me.

He's afraid you will give me the money.

Are there too many hospital bills?

Or did those people come to Qingyi?

No.

Go home and rest.

I have things to do.

Zheng Yu, wait.

Did you bring your laptop?

JIANG HAIXING DIGITAL REPAIR

Where have you been?

I went to see a classmate.

What classmate?

Our academic rep.

I borrowed study materials and also got dinner.

What subject?

Physics.

Physics, okay.

I was good at physics.

Listen up.

Don't go where you shouldn't go.

You're my son.

My son shouldn't be filial to others.

Got it?

This laptop isn't working. Can you take a look?

Whose is it? The academic rep?

He needs it repaired, and since I'm borrowing his materials,

I brought it for you to check.

ON CHEN YANZHOU

This is frozen.

"On Chen Yanzhou"?

My classmate's name is Chen Yanzhou.

This is quite old.

Is there water damage? It could be fried.

No, and he doesn't know what happened.

It's okay if you can't fix it.

It is very old. I shouldn't have told him you could fix it.

I'll just give it back to him.

Child,

I didn't say I couldn't fix it.

I have to open it up.

How much will it cost?

I'll tell him.

You're fixing it for your classmate.

Asking for repair fees will make us look so stingy.

Establish good relationships with these top students.

If you ever have difficulties, they can help you out.

These are social skills.

I'll go do homework now.

You're so forgetful.

FAST REPAIRS OF PHONES AND DIGITAL DEVICES

Coming.

Hi, I'm the tutor who was referred by the Mingsi Training Agency.

My name is Zheng Yu.

Wait.

Sorry.

Here.

Why are you standing there? Change into slippers.

Your feet will freeze in those thin shoes.

Come in.

Thank you.

They're my daughter's and are a bit small.

Bear with them for now.

I read the resume that the agent sent.

I'm very satisfied.

Unfortunately, I don't get the last say.

Spend some time with my daughter.

Whether we end up hiring you or not,

I will still pay you for your time today.

What is her name?

Gao Xing, a first-year in senior high.

Are you the new tutor?

Open this for me.

I forgot to say, it's carbonated.

It will release carbon dioxide.

Drink it, and let's begin.

If you tutor me, can you make me number one?

What did you rank in your finals this time?

Thirty-fifth.

- In your grade? - In my class.

Then I can't.

Then this is the last lesson you give me.

Ms. Xiaozheng.

Did Gao Xing cause any trouble?

No.

That's good. I calculated the time.

Is it not time yet?

We started at 4:00 p.m. sharp.

You went over by 20 minutes.

Look, it's dark outside.

I'll pay you one-third more based on your hourly rate.

All right, sent.

Also,

regarding tutoring,

I still need to ask Gao Xing for her opinion.

Let's keep in touch.

I'll see you out.

I'll throw this on my way out.

Thank you.

Be careful.

The pizza is cold.

I'll heat it up.

What do you think of her?

Nothing much.

ZHENG YU, QING YI UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF LIFE SCIENCES

GPA: 3.9 (TOP 5% OF MAJOR)

NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT VITALITY AWARD WINNER

Gao Xing.

I don't have time to take you to school tomorrow.

Can you go on your own?

Haven't I always?

ZHENG YU

HIGH SCHOOL AFFILIATED WITH QING YI UNIVERSITY

My bike is at school.

I'll bike home today.

You don't have to pick me up. Bye.

Son!

Slow down.

It's winter. Your hands will freeze when biking.

I bought new gloves for you.

They're made with the best fiber and hand-knit.

They're warm and soft.

- Try them on. - Okay.

We're finally on break,

but we have to come to school to get our transcripts.

Didn't you say you would ask the teacher for leave?

He didn't approve it and insisted I come to school.

He was so mysterious.

I couldn't catch a cab during rush hour and had to squeeze onto the bus.

Not only were there no seats, but the heater was down.

Look how frozen my hands are.

Isn't that Jiang Mian from Year 2, Class 8?

That must be his dad next to him.

Good, it fits well.

Who else but me, your dad, would care about you so much?

Your good-for-nothing sister?

You'll be lucky if she doesn't ruin your life.

I'm going.

Bye.

Good morning, teachers and students.

- Another semester draws to an end. - Hey, Jiahuan.

- Bring this in for me. - First, on behalf of the school…

Where are you going?

Building good karma for exams.

We sincerely thank all the teachers who work tirelessly and selflessly.

At the same time, I want to extend my congratulations

to all the students determined to succeed.

Hello. I'm looking for someone.

Who are you looking for?

With a semester's worth of hard work and sweat,

you submitted an answer sheet for youth.

Aren't these your gloves? You accidentally threw them away.

We will present awards to students…

"Accidentally," you said?

I saw you and your dad outside just now. Didn't he give these to you?

Be more careful when throwing trash from now on.

- Don't try to look cool. - I didn't want--

Next, we have a special commendation.

Year 1, Class 5's Gao Xing found lost items six times this semester

and returned them to their owners

or to the Lost and Found counter,

bringing positive energy to our campus.

For this, we hereby award the Special Award for Civic Virtue.

No wonder he insisted I come to school.

Students who won an award,

proceed to Conference Room 201 in the administration building

to collect your certificate and take a commemorative photo.

You're welcome.

DUAN SHENGYANG

Zheng Yu, I heard from Mingsi's agent

that you interviewed two days ago.

He said it's close to campus.

It's a good fit for you.

Thank you for your help.

You didn't come these past two days.

So you went to an interview.

How did it go?

My chances are low.

Why?

The parent was too normal. Such good things don't happen to me.

It's too soon to say.

Not hearing back yet is normal.

LU SIQUAN (STORE MANAGER)

Last time, you said you could arrange more shifts for me.

I think I've gained weight recently!

- You haven't. - Nonsense.

My old folding bed

sinks to the ground when I lie down on it.

Either I've gained weight,

or it's not able to sustain weight anymore.

Luckily, I bought a new one.

It's quite comfortable.

You can take the old bed.

Use it.

It would be a shame to toss it.

You're skinny. It can definitely bear your weight.

Why are you looking at me?

It was your friend who helped me

carry the new bed to this ward.

My friend?

Xiaochen.

Chen Yanzhou?

Has he been here?

He seems to care about you a lot.

It's guilt.

Guilt?

What has he done?

He hasn't done anything wrong.

He's just like every other kind person who doesn't lack money.

When they see me,

they can't turn a blind eye

or feel at peace.

PREVIEW

MAIN POINTS AND RESEARCH DISCOVERIES

The cell proportion is significantly higher than traditional…

It just ended.

What could I do?

I just listened to her humiliate me.

She's the boss. I'm just a lowly worker.

What director?

Less than trash!

No.

Let me tell you, I'm not drunk.

If I were drunk, I would've hit her!

Okay, bye.

WU FA

Ring me up!

Ninety-eight yuan.

Arrogant, are you?

Got something to say?

What's that look for?

Are you mad?
