(I Once Remembered That Guy)

(Episode 2)

When that boy had lowered his head to look at me

in the summer breeze,

I suddenly realized

that every moment that fate has planned,

would not be a sudden coincidence.

Perhaps, the us at that time would not have known

a fated encounter,

an eye contact during class,

a moment of sudden heartbeat,

it will connect and confuse us in the future.

But it does not matter. Even a moment is gratifying.

A moment is everything.

We're in our youth,

and our story has just begun.

(Summer 2007)

Ying Hui, you're so beautiful.

You've all arrived?

Shen Ying Hui, you're really beautiful today.

Congratulations on your recovery.

It's because of you guys, so my parents had said that I should treat you to a meal.

Let's go.

Zhou Jing Mang.

How old are you?

Sixteen.

So you're not six.

Why are you making fun of a kid? What nonsense are you saying—

Hurry and leave.

Let's go.

Thank you, all. I'm happy to be able to meet you in secondary school.

Here.

I have a suggestion. I had seen a game

where we write our dreams on a slip of paper.

Everyone reads the dream they have.

The dream of the person we picked out will become our dream guardian. What do you think?

All right. This is interesting.

(Zhou Jing Mang, my dream is...)

Here, one for everyone.

I'll go first!

My dream is to become a flight attendant.

Qin Zhen?

You want to be a flight attendant?

What do you mean? What if I want to be a flight attendant?

That... look at who I got.

I have Zhuang Jie's.

It says, "be happy".

And you dare to talk about me.

What kind of dream is that, Zhuang Jie?

If someone can be happy for their whole life, that would be a miracle.

- That's my dream. - Forget it, you just wrote something random.

Enough, it's just a game. Zhou Zhou, whose do you have?

Zhang Yang, why didn't you write anything?

Do you have any game spirits?

I don't have a dream.

Please, hurry and say it.

I really don't have one.

Even if he doesn't have a dream, it's still better than all your daydreams. Hurry and read yours.

I'll deal with you later.

Let's wait and see.

Ying Hui, you can dance ballet?

I've learned since young. It's been over ten years now.

Ying Hui will become a ballet dancer.

I started it as a child, so I want to continue it.

Only Zhou Zhou's is left. Zhang Yang, you have it.

Let's have another toast.

Won't you tell us about Zhou Jing Mang's dream?

She is six years old. What does she know?

To your dreams and this salty fish, me.

Cheers!

Ying Hui, S.H.E's Chinese Language songs are so good. (T/N: S.H.E is a girl band in China)

- Did you listen? - I like that too.

Chinese Language? That's not good at all.

Did I ask you? What do you know?

You know everything. You're so good.

Zhou Jing Mang,

don't make fun of me in secret.

I didn't.

You don't have to worry.

I also do not have any dreams.

Zhou Jing Man, are you stupid?

It's just that my dream hasn't come true yet, and I didn't want to say it out loud.

But you, you really have no dream.

Who said that? I was just trying to comfort you.

So what's your dream?

If I say I have one, then I do.

So say it.

I have one anyways.

Stop fooling yourself. To say nothing means to have nothing.

My dream is to become a writer.

Isn't that cool?

Sure.

Best selling author. Which can guide a new era of literature.

The really amazing type. The best writer.

Mmm.

Why are you reacting like this?

You can go home and have sweet dreams. Is that enough?

- You— - Zhang Yang.

Let's go back, too.

Alright.

Let's go.

Bye-bye.

Zhou Zhou, the dormitory door is going to close soon. Come down quickly.

I'm coming.

(Autumn 2007)

Attention.

Today you have done well in an exhibition, on the achievements of military training.

I'm proud of you.

At ease!

Everyone can rest in their places.

- Thank you, Instructor! - Thank you, Instructor!

There is still one more theoretical class before military training ends.

All of you, fellow students, have worked hard during this period of time.

It wasn't hard! Instructor has worked the hardest.

I know you must have complained about me behind my back.

- Of course not! - However,

as long as you are wearing these clothes,

you must have strict demands for yourself.

I believe this will not only be a hard to come by experience in your life,

but also an unforgettable memory.

Even though the military training has finished, your lives have just started.

Instructor, now that the military training is almost over,

can we be considered to be friends now?

We are friends!

Then we should take a group photo.

Come! Let's take a picture with Instructor.

- Come! Everyone come take a group photo! - We're taking a picture! A picture everyone!

One, two, three!

Everyone smile!

What are you all doing here?

What are you doing?

This is Teacher Zhou, the school's teaching department director.

He's also our class's English teacher

and is famous for having extremely strict teaching methods. For this reason, the students, privately,

all secretly, call him Zhou Ba Pi. (T/N: Ba Pi is stripping skin which also means causing someone to be extremely tormented.)

Just after finishing the military review, you are acting all clamorous over here. I could hear you all from very far away.

Aren't you ashamed? Do you understand the rules?

You! What are you carrying in your hands?

Give it to me!

Hurry and give it to me!

Move aside!

A student bringing a phone to school during military training,

is violating the regulation and discipline of the school!

Don't tell me you guys don't know that?

Today was my fault.

They have already informed me about it.

Right now, they are the ones violating the school regulation and discipline.

I am educating—

What do you want to do?

You want to hit me, right? What do you think you're doing?

Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang!

- Zhang Yang. - Let go.

- Let go! - Zhang Yang, don't go over there!

Zhang Yang, don't be impulsive!

Teacher Zhou, you are administering corporal punishment on students.

- We are going to lodge a complaint against you! - That's right!

- A complaint against you! A complaint! - You are all violating school regulation and discipline!

You think you're in the right? You guys even dare make a complaint against me?

You, however, really do have a nerve! You! Call your parents over here！

I will have a nice chat with them!

Teacher Teacher—

Did he have to go so far?

Zhou Zhou.

- Teacher Zhou was really too mean! - Luckily he was stopped,

he would have been expelled, if he had hit the teacher.

Our country's reserve duty system (High School, first year, sixth class)

was established in 1955 (Zhang Yang)

and was cancelled due to multiple reasons.

In 1984, the People's Republic of China's military service law

once again obtained this system.

All right. I will end here for

the last military theory class. Finally, I wish everyone to keep improving in your studies!

Thank you, Instructor!

Let's go!

You can go first!

Zhou Zhou! Quickly come with me!

Let's go out for a walk.

You can go with Ying Hui. I want to do another problem.

Ying Hui was called to the office by Teacher Shi.

Please come with me!

All right then.

Hurry!

Your hat! Hat!

Let's go for a walk!

Let's hurry!

I'm going.

(Notebook)

Let me tell you a rumor about Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang?

What about him?

There was an exception made as he, a high school first-year student,

has already been accepted into the school's basketball team.

He is that awesome?

That's right. I have seen him play basketball.

There's a bit of Liu Chuan Feng in him. (T/N: Chinese name for Kaeda Rukawa, the ace player of Shohoku High in the Japanese TV Show, Slam Dunk)

A'Zhen?

What's wrong?

Look over there.

- Ling Chen? - Yes.

That's him. He really is worthy of being the first in our grade.

He is reading books at any time and place.

Everyone else is playing, only he is remaining unmoved.

He really is amazing.

He is not only amazing in just that.

I heard that both his parents are in poor health.

In his family, he is the only one taking care of them.

How do you know that?

That day when he was talking with Teacher Shi,

I overheard Teacher Shi asking, if he had any difficulties at home.

He told Teacher Shi not to give him any special care.

He also didn't want everyone to know his family's circumstances so he rejected him.

I never thought he would have that kind of story.

That's right. I just feel like he is especially like

those high-quality idols who radiate positive energy in TV series.

So I really worship him.

If I could become good friends with him,

then it would really make me feel proud of myself.

Anyway, I just want to be a nobody.

It's fine for me to peacefully and steadily go to college.

This youthful time will not wait for you.

(Unity, Honesty, Learn Well)

Zhou Zhou, do you think Zhang Yang is a better male lead

or is Ling Chen better?

Look at mine.

That's enough. Look at this.

- Mine flew farther than yours. - It wasn't farther.

This is—

If you don't believe it let's try again. Come, fold another one.

Just you? That's called flying far?

Keep an eye on this! Let me fly one for you.

Come! Fly it towards me!

That is mine. Give it to me!

Zhou Jing Mang?

Isn't this Teng Xiao's?

That isn't mine.

This isn't yours?

Where did you throw it?

Where are you going Zhou Zhou?

Class is starting.

Four, five, six, seven.

Two more are missing.

Are you okay?

What do you want?

I wanted to give this to you. I was just about to call out to you, but then you just turned around.

Let's go to the school infirmary.

(Infirmary)

Is this because of an external cause or did this nosebleed happen by itself?

It was an external cause.

Then there is nothing serious. After a while, when the blood stops, you can go.

Student, you can go back first.

Teacher, look. She also had an injury on her arm. Is any medicine required?

Let me take a look.

Wait a moment, I'll bring some medicine.

It's fine, there's no need.

You can go back first.

Then, I'm leaving now.

Okay, go quickly.

♫ When I opened my eyes ♫

♫ You were right by my side ♫

♫ You were hugging me gently ♫

♫ You said you're afraid that I'll leave ♫

♫ The sun was shining on the windowsill ♫

♫ What a warming season ♫

♫ There are the sunny days you love ♫

♫ From the leaves that had just fallen from the windowsill ♫

♫ To you who's in front of the books ♫

♫ I will accompany you through it all ♫

♫ Let time stop. Let me protect you ♫

♫ Feel you breathe ♫

♫ I would never leave. I would never leave you ♫

♫ Again, again, again ♫

♫ Allow this to become our promise to one another ♫

He opens his hazy eyes, lifts his head up with his long face,

and uses his monotoned voice to say, "You blocked the light".

She carefully comforts him, who doesn't have a dream yet.

Unexpectedly, she is teased, and angrily,

she revealed her secret wish to become an author.

As soon as the words broke out, it was as if the wind had finally swept through the clouds. She saw the clear sky. And it was sunshine.

Angrily he held the note in English letters right before his eyes,

right in front of their eyes, as if that could obliterate the complaint of punishment for running laps.

But he left her there, confused and bored.

The gap in their heights leaves them standing on tiptoe,

if she want to take a closer look

and touch the warmth that makes her turn.

Classmate, the teacher is calling you.

You're blocking the light.

Why is it you?

But you really don't have a dream?

My dream is to be an author.

Best selling author. Which can guide a new era of literature. The very best.

Go back home and dream. Is that a good enough reaction?

♫ Let me fill up your entire life ♫

(Zhou Jing Mang - D)

♫ I don't need many words to let you know ♫

♫ I can see ♫

♫ You are my one and only ♫

Zhou Jing Mang?

Zhou Jing Mang!

♫ Feel you breathe ♫

♫ I would never leave. I would never leave you ♫

♫ Again, again, again ♫

♫ Allow this to become our promise to one another ♫

♫ Love will show you ♫

♫ That you are in my heart ♫

Why haven't you left yet?

Waiting for that.

What are you doing?

It's not even bleeding anymore and you're still stuffing it.

And, if you stuff it in your nose the whole time, what happens if you suffocate?

Why are you blushing?

I'm not blushing.

Really?

Zhou Jing Mang.

Your novel was a good read.

When did you read it?

Just then.

But your description of me is so univocal like a delinquent.

Well, what should I have done instead?

You probably don't understand me well enough.

What should I do to get to know you?

To understand me, it will take at least three years.

But aren't you always asking me about my dream?

I can tell you.

Really?

But we need to make a promise to one another first.

When your first essay is published, I'll answer you.

Isn't that equivalent to not telling me?

Are you really that unconfident?

Fine, it's a promise. Pinky promise?

You're childish.

After the military training, a lot of people knew about me and Zhang Yang.

I went from an invisible girl to a famous being.

Everyone told me that I was brave, but only I know,

that at the time I held onto Zhang Yang, I was so nervous my stomach hurt.

I had never been so out of control.

That one moment was a self reflex that I didn't know about myself.

I've never been that happy before either.

It's like I made a really satisfying move surpassing everyone else.

(2015)

After all these years, you haven't changed at all.

(Find Zhao Yang)

You're the boss.

What's wrong Zhou Zhou?

Find Zhang Yang?

That's a note I wrote, right?

My plan is to try to find Zhang Yang.

I want to produce a ballet performance to portray, what we were like in our youth, and what we are like now.

So I will conduct in-depth interviews with each of you, including Zhang Yang.

Wow, that sounds great!

Can you interview me then? Recently, I've been starting up my own business.

Wow, that's impressive.

Ying Hui, can I perform in it?

Of course!

Not bad, drink.

Here, cheers.

Zhang Yang.

What did you say, Zhou Zhou?

I don't understand why he suddenly disappeared. He gave up on everything, including our promise.

I was always working hard to fulfill our promise.

I was willing to give up so much for this promise. What about you, though?

What are you willing to give up for me?

I want to puke.

Zhou Zhou, wait a moment. Let me find a bin for you.

Zhang Yang!

Hello?

I'm Zhang Yang.
