♫ Memories of the past are always vivid ♫
♫ They accompanied me to take every step ♫
♫ On the road ♫
♫ Going through heat and cold ♫
♫ The bumpy journey has rendered my longing ♫
♫ Rock solid ♫
♫ The same moonlight shines on our shoulders ♫
♫ Even if we are separated by a long distance ♫
♫ We are close in our hearts ♫
♫ The wind blew away the past ♫
♫ I look for your distant location on a starry night ♫
♫ In the ocean of faces ♫
♫ For you, my heart burns and races ♫
♫ Despite its turns and twists, fate is in my hands ♫
♫ May waiting convert regrets into a happy ending ♫
♫ May solitary figures find right companions ♫
♫ And become a pair ♫
[Time Flies and You Are Here]
[Episode 1]
[Spring goes by so fast, leaving no trace. May spring last a little longer.]
Why do I have a daughter as stubborn as you?
Don't think about going back to Yuyangli Village.
Give up the idea forever.
The four of us had been living on the two hectares of land
in Yuyangli Village.
How could Xie Jing have the heart to take it away?
[Xie Xiaoman's younger brother, Xie Li] He's your uncle.
[Xie Xiaoman's younger brother, Xie Li] He's not.
He's a bandit.
[Xie Xiaoman's mother, surnamed Meng] You sold the land
and decided to move to Wujiang Prefecture without my consent.
You asked me to go to a free school there,
but I haven't finished my studies in the village.
Anyway, we've sold the land to your uncle
and we're arriving in Wujiang Prefecture.
You have no other choice but to live there and go to school there.
[Receipt: Xie Yu sold his land to Xie Jing at a price of 20 strings of 1,000 cash.]
[Shuntian Gate]
[Qingtai Gate]
[Wujiang Prefecture]
Dad!
Honey!
- Honey! - Dad!
- Stop it. - Honey.
Honey.
My dear.
You naughty boy.
Where is your sister?
She pissed Mom off again.
[Xie Xiaoman, nickname Maoya]
- Dad. - Xiaoman.
[Xie Xiaoman's father, Xie Yu]
Honey, I think you've lost some weight.
No, I haven't.
I'm great. Don't worry.
You've had a long journey. Are you tired?
[Receipt: Xie Yu sold his land to Xie Jing at a price of 20 strings of 1,000 cash.]
I won't give up.
[Elegance Workshop]
Everyone, stand still.
Don't go anywhere.
You guys go over there and look for it.
If Zhao Jinguo is hurt, I'll hold you responsible.
[Yan Boyang, courtesy name Zhanzhi] What are you waiting for?
[Zhao Xiaoqian's learning partner] Go look for it!
It's just at the doorstep.
Everyone, be careful. [Zhong Ziyan, courtesy name Xingzhou, Zhao Xiaoqian's learning partner]
I just saw some male crickets have hatched.
["The Commentary of Zuo"] Don't let Jinguo get bullied.
Exactly!
Don't let it get bullied. Understood?
Mind your step!
Your Highness, [Liangji, butler of the Commandery Prince's Mansion]
you did Xie Jing a favor the other day.
He wanted to repay you with two hectares of land in Yuyangli Village.
Your Highness, I have something else to report to you.
The study in our mansion hasn't been cleaned for a long time
since all our maid servants can't read.
Shall we hire one who can read?
Hanchen, you've received 13 letters from the capital.
[Family Letter] Do you have any plan?
Mind your step!
Mind your step!
Jinguo has jumped out.
Hurry. Hurry!
Jinguo.
Jinguo!
["The Commentary of Zuo"] Jinguo!
Mind your step.
- Jinguo. - Hurry. Go look for it.
Go look for it.
Hurry.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
What's wrong with Xiaoman?
She looks upset.
Is it because of the two hectares of land?
Exactly. She's been complaining all the way here.
Just ignore her.
She's ill-mannered at such a young age. I'm afraid she'll be ruder when she's older.
Lower your voice.
I'm telling you.
We're going to my brother's home.
You'd better cheer up and stop pulling a long face.
Mind your step!
What's going on?
What are you doing? Don't push.
Xiaoman! Xiaoman!
- Jinguo. - Dad!
Jinguo!
Watch your step!
- Jinguo. Jinguo. - Jinguo.
Be careful not to step on it.
- Dad. - Jinguo.
Jinguo!
Who's he?
- They're making a fuss over a cricket. - Don't you know that?
He's well-known as the Commandery Prince of Julu.
Mind your step. Don't step on it.
Dad. Mom.
Catch up.
Dad.
[Zhao Xiaoqian, courtesy name Hanchen, The Commandery Prince of Julu] You want to run away after killing it?
Who are you?
Let go of me.
I'm going to look for my parents.
After treading on Jinguo, you still want to see your parents?
I'll take you to the local magistrate.
Insane.
Playboy.
Hanchen.
All right. Go back.
Stop looking on!
Go back!
You've got 13 letters from the capital.
Will you make a decision only after receiving an imperial edict?
13 letters from the capital were sent to get me back.
Those outsiders may think my father is dead.
How... How... Your Highness, how dare you say that?
Your mother said you're neglecting your studies in Wujiang.
Now that you got a C again last time,
she wants you to go back to the capital and study at the imperial college.
But that's just an excuse.
As we all know, things are complicated in the capital.
[Receipt: Xie Yu sold his land to Xie Jing at a price of 20 strings of 1,000 cash.]
[Xie Yu, Xie Jing]
Hanchen!
As for hiring a maid servant to clean the study,
you can just forget about it if you decide to go back to the capital.
Who said I'd go back?
Hanchen, why are you leaving?
Have you found Jinguo?
Oh no!
Jinguo was killed by me.
I... [Residence of the Su Family]
Come on. Cheers!
Here. Have some crab.
Okay.
[Xie Xiaoman's cousin Suwei, nickname Minggu] Here. Say thank you to your auntie.
Eat more.
Thank you, untie.
[Suwei's father, Meng Hanru] Xiaoman, help yourself.
[Su Huazhong, Su Wei's mother, owner of Su Chang Ji] - Make yourself at home. - Yu.
Have some crab.
Well, when will you pay a visit to Mr. Xie Jing?
We're going tomorrow.
Minggu, would you mind taking Xiaoman to the academy tomorrow?
And I really appreciate what you've done
to transfer them to the school.
That's true.
Here.
Let me drink a toast to you.
Huazhong.
We won't drink unless you take a seat.
Take a seat.
- Okay. - Don't be so polite.
We're family.
In the future, Xiaoman will stay in our house.
Trust me.
I'm sure to make her fit and healthy.
Here. Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you, Huazhong.
Mom, why do I have to stay here?
Can't I live with you?
Okay.
Here. Come on. Eat!
Here.
A broke family.
[Confucian Classics and Moral Precepts Are Worth Handing Down For Generations]
I know you don't want to live in Wujiang Prefecture.
I also know you don't want to stay in my brother's home.
But think about it.
Your elder brother is taking the imperial exams in the capital.
Your dad is working in Wujiang Prefecture.
You can't go back and be a farmer, right?
Then why do I have to stay here with them?
I want to live together with you and dad.
The yamen hostel is far from the school, with good and bad people mixed up.
You're such a young girl. How could I let you live there?
What if I save up enough money?
Is it possible I get the land back from Uncle Xie?
You, child!
You still haven't given up the idea.
It's impossible for us to go back to Yuyangli Village.
Mom.
Oh no. My receipt is gone.
Things are complicated in the capital.
It seems that your mother wants you to go back for your studies,
but actually, she wants you to marry Miss Shen.
Nobody clears up my study.
It's a mess, indeed.
Hanchen.
Don't worry.
So many years have passed.
[Receipt] Maybe they are the only ones who still remember the engagement.
[Receipt] who still remember the engagement.
They're happy to do that, but the Shen family may not be.
Tomorrow is the mid-term exam.
What's your plan?
Burn it.
The fish lies in the deep, and now is by the islet.
Pleasant is that garden, in which are the sandal trees; [Bailu Academy]
but beneath them are only withered leaves.
The stones of those hills, may be made into grind-stones.
Where the river flows past, the bamboos' shade cast.
The lord stands there refined, like ivory polished, like precious stone finishd.)
[Bailu Academy] Lo, he's solemn and grave; Lo, he's open and brave.
The lord stands there refined; We will bear him in mind!
I didn't expect to have a relative like her who has seen nothing of life.
Excuse me?
What's up? Did I say anything wrong?
Your parents borrowed money from us time and again
and now you live under our shelter.
If you hadn't burned my brother's palm that year,
my parents wouldn't have had to quit their jobs for a year to take care of him
and then wouldn't have needed to borrow money from you.
I have no time for you.
Sis!
Come over.
Today is the mid-term exam. What books are you reading, Ziyou?
I'm reading "Mencius".
- But my father would check how my studies are going any time. - Today is the mid-term exam?
Sis, do you have money with you? Can we buy it or not?
Don't worry.
I've saved a lot of money by weaving cat grass.
I can afford books for you.
Sir, I wonder if you have standard textbooks of Bailu Academy.
Yes.
Here. Have a look.
["The Commentary of Zuo"]
How much does it cost? I need two copies.
Two strings of 1,000 cash in total.
So expensive!
My dad's monthly salary is three strings.
- Young lady. - Don't touch it.
You never heard of that, right? Paper became expensive in Luoyang,
but it's more expensive in Wujiang Prefecture.
Paper became expensive in Luoyang
because readers vied to make handwritten copies of "Ode to the Capitals of the Three Kingdoms" by Zuo Si.
There is no shortage of paper here.
- Why is it expensive? - Fine. Enough.
Go make money if you're broke. [Recruitment]
All my books are printed with woodblock printing technique.
No bargain please.
- Zhao Xiaoqian is coming over. - Zhao Xiaoqian.
Let's go!
Sis, we're going to be late.
Sis, are you really going to work as a maid servant?
Of course not. I'm not stupid.
The Luming Pavilion for boys is over there.
Hurry up.
I've figured it out.
Ziyan writes down the answers and passes them to me.
Then I'll pass them to you. What do you say?
I'm a man. How can I cheat in an exam?
It'll make me a laughingstock.
What can you do if you don't cheat?
You don't want to set fire to the academy, do you?
I'm sleepy. You don't need to wake me up.
[Jingnv Pavilion]
Sir, I'm Xie Xiaoman the newcomer.
Okay.
Take a seat.
It's time for the exam.
Hi, Ruying.
Xiaoman, you've really made it here.
Do you know her?
[Xie Ruying, Xie Jing's daughter,] She's my uncle's daughter.
[Xie Xiaoman's cousin] She was brought up in the countryside, so she's ill-mannered.
Please don't mind. [Xue Yanwan, daughter of sub-prefect of Wujiang Prefecture]
- Here. - Thank you.
The exam begins now.
Hey, look.
Xiaoman, "southern-style noodle houses and Sichuan-style restaurants
were opened in the capital for those from the south
who didn't get used to the northern-style food."
What does it mean?
I don't know.
No whispering!
What nonsense did you write on it?
"Don't pretend to know what you don't know." [Xu Shaolin, director of Bailu Academy)
What does it mean?
It means if you don't understand something,
- you should learn instead of talking nonsense. - Since you know it, why can't you follow it?
Stop being opportunistic or playing dirty tricks.
I know you all study here in order to marry a good man.
But why will a good man choose you if you don't study hard?
Sir, you got me wrong.
Meet me in the Teachers' Office when the exam is finished.
[Teachers' Office]
Are you done yet? Xu Shaolin is coming back.
All right. It's done.
Nobody saw us, right?
No.
Zhao Xiaoqian, are you a silly goose?
Xingzhou gave the answers to you, but you just kept sleeping.
What's done is done.
The papers were burned by you, anyway.
I didn't do anything.
What?
It's you that asked me to do that. Enough. Let's get out of here.
The teachers will be back soon.
Well...
It's you!
Where is my receipt?
A reminder for you.
Keep your mouth shut!
- You... - Remember. Keep your mouth shut.
What's happened?
- Sir. - How dare you burn the exam papers?
I didn't.
- Just now... - You tried to cheat in the exam in vain,
so you burned the papers.
- Who else could have done it if it weren't you? - I didn't. I'm telling the truth.
Congwen.
Xiaoman?
Answer me. Why did you burn the papers?
I didn't do it.
You!
As a newcomer, she didn't even have her first class,
but she dared to burn the papers.
How dare she?
[Li Su, courtesy name Congwen]
That newcomer is your cousin you mentioned?
Just a broke girl from Yuyangli Village.
She doesn't deserve to be my cousin. I was just trying not to embarrass her.
We've been living apart for long.
You know what?
At my grandmother's birthday party last year,
she ate a whole plate of cherries since she'd never seen them before.
Then she spent the whole afternoon in the bathroom.
Did you hear that a fire took place in the Teachers' Office?
A fire?
- It's said someone burned the papers. - What?
To prepare for the exam, I reviewed lessons till midnight every day.
Same here.
She's back.
Xie Xiaoman, don't embarrass yourself in the academy!
You burned the papers because you're afraid you'd fail. You must be crazy.
- I... - Director Xu.
Director Xu is here.
Due to the fire, some of the papers were burned, indeed.
But no gossip here.
The academy will investigate it thoroughly.
If we find out who did it,
the troublemaker will be punished severely!
It's not me.
Students here are all decent people.
Such acts of sheer folly have never happened before.
You've disgraced the Xie family.
I said I didn't do that.
You did!
Who else could it be if it weren't you?
Your clothes are covered in ash from coming out of the Teachers' Office.
You're Xiaoman, right?
Ruying mentioned you're her cousin.
She has always been well-mannered.
She accused you because there is solid proof against you;
otherwise, she doesn't want to give you a hard time now that you're one of her relatives.
I'll prove my innocence!
Xie Xiaoman!
[Jingnv Pavilion]
Xie Xiaoman.
Stop messing about, okay?
You're trying to frame me.
I'm not messing about.
Look at what you're like.
You said we're trying to frame you. Nobody would buy it.
Then, why did you come to me?
What do you want?
Actually, I just want to tell you not to create trouble.
I didn't. Trouble came looking for me.
I'm from the countryside, but I'm not a pushover.
Xie Xiaoman.
[Delicacy Restaurant]
I'm thirsty.
Your Highness, there are still 100 grams of Donghai Longshe tea you bought last time.
How about I make a pot for you?
Hurry up.
- Go ahead. - Sure!
It's great.
The papers have been burned.
Your mother can't find an excuse to scold you.
I heard all exam papers in the Teachers' Office were burned away.
Director Xu is investigating.
You're ill-informed.
What's burned are mainly papers of the female students.
Most of the male students' ones have been kept intact.
Wait.
What are you talking about?
It's just hearsay.
Everyone said a female student set the office on fire
but she also put it out.
So some of the papers were not destroyed.
Let's go.
It's her again.
[Striving to learn and grow]
Young lady, you can't go upstairs.
Why are you stopping me?
Young lady, the second floor is for those from noble families.
I know every nobleman in Bailu Academy.
May I know who you are?
It's said academies provide education for all people without discrimination.
The teachers follow the rule, but the staff act against it.
Let her come up.
Got it.
Please go up.
[Bright and clean]
You put the fire out?
You set it on fire?
Can you tell me what your name is?
Zhao Xiaoqian.
I'll tell Director Xu about it.
I'll also tell him you set the office on fire.
And, you're the one who took my receipt, right?
It's very important to me.
I've burned it away.
What?
You burned it?
You actually did that?
Yes.
I threw it into the fire.
So what?
You know what, that's very important to me.
- Aren't you afraid of me? - Why should I?
Good. Great.
Then, wait and see.
You...
Don't go.
Don't go!
How dare he burn it.
It pisses me off.
Oh, my receipt!
[Bailu Academy]
Excuse me.
Did you see the carriage sent by the Su family?
Su family? They were the first ones to leave.
Oh no.
[Mrs. Xie, Xie Jing's mother]
[Xie Jing's wife, surnamed Sheng]
[Xie Jing, Xie Xiaoman's uncle, Wuxian County Magistrate]
Jing, I'm really sorry.
It's Xiaoman's first time to be in Wujiang Prefecture.
And the academy is a little far away from your home.
She may be lost.
I'm so sorry for having kept
all of you waiting for so long.
In this case,
- now that I'm tired... - Be careful.
I'm leaving.
She's back.
You damn girl. Where have you been?
You didn't study hard at school and you wandered off after school.
Kneel down and say sorry to your grandmother.
Xiaoman, did you hear what your mom said?
Despite her age, your grandmother is still waiting for you.
Everyone is waiting for you!
Kneel down!
Mom, Xiaoman will kneel down and apologize to you.
Yeah. How could we be a family?
A family...
wouldn't add insult to injury and make us suffer so much.
Since grandfather passed away,
Uncle Xie has been treating us harshly and taken away all property
grandfather had left us.
To make a living, Dad has to work as a coroner in Wujiang Prefecture
and he's been treated unfairly.
To take care of my brother and me,
Mom has to wash and mend clothes for others to make ends meet
even if she's ill.
If it weren't for my elder brother who may pass the imperial exams,
Uncle Xie wouldn't keep in contact with us.
Xiaoman, what are you talking about?
We're a family.
- Did I ever treat you harshly? - No, he didn't.
At the cost of 20 strings of 1,000 cash,
you bought our two hectares of land, which is all we had.
Isn't that obvious?
You made us homeless.
Did I also treat you harshly?
How?
Fine.
Xiaoman, just take me to the local magistrate.
By going to the local magistrate,
can we get our land back?
You want to get the land back?
It has been given to the Commandery Prince of Julu.
If you want it, go to the
Commandey Prince's Mansion yourself.
I'm so useless.
Even a young girl like you dares to ask me for payment.
Mom, calm down.
Xie Yu,
I don't think I deserve to be your mother.
How dare you offend your grandmother?
Kneel down!
On your knees.
Kneel and apologize!
I'm sorry, Grandmother.
Please forgive me, Grandmother.
I shouldn't have done that.
How dare I be mad at you?
My receipt.
You actually did that?
Yes.
I threw it into the fire.
My receipt.
[Bailu Academy]
[Teachers' Office]
Keep quiet.
You pushed me so hard!
You saw it anyway.
But if you dare tell anyone else, I'll...
Go.
Drive the mouse away.
Hurry.
Why are you looking at me?
I'm not afraid of mice.
I just think they're dirty.
They're dirty. Understood?
- All doors have been closed, right? - Yes.
Come on.
What's wrong?
You throw your weight about!
I... I didn't. I didn't bully you. I didn't.
Did you burn the receipt away or not?
I don't know.
You...
I'm telling you.
If you dare tell anyone I stole the papers, you...
You'll have to quit school.
You jerk!
Xiaoman?
What are you doing here?
Everyone thought I set the fire.
I want to find some evidence.
Public clamor can confound right and wrong.
It's correct for you to do that.
If you make a mistake, admit it.
If not, find a way to prove your innocence.
[Noodles Stall]
Thank you, Congwen.
Our land was sold.
I planned to get it back after making enough money,
so I'd been keeping the receipt.
Now that it's burned,
I don't know what to do.
[Noodles Stall] I remember you used to be
the most diligent girl in Yuyangli Village.
You're smart.
There is always a way if you decide to do something.
What matters is how you want it done.
Do you mean I can earn some money by working part-time?
Do you still remember the two lines of poetry I told you
the first time I went to Yuyangli Village?
Someday, with my sail piercing the clouds,
I will mount the wind, break the waves, and traverse the vast, rolling sea.
Dad.
Xiaoman.
Dad. [Residence of the Su Family]
Sit down.
You had a relapse, right?
Let me massage it.
I slapped you so hard. It must have hurt.
As for what happened today,
it's all my fault.
No, it's not.
I know you hated leaving Yuyangli Village.
And you...
have kept the receipt well.
You want to get the land
back someday, right?
I also know you hate
to see me be wronged
and want to make me happy.
In my childhood,
after grandfather passed away,
I saw you be maltreated by grandmother.
Among so much family property,
only a few hectares of land were given to us.
But we managed to live on our land.
When I was little, the five of
us lived a simple but happy life.
Li'er and I caught frogs in the field.
My elder brother read books by the window.
I remember one time Li'er got sick,
so we borrowed some money that year.
If we hadn't grown tea, we would have had a hard time.
In my opinion,
the land is my savior.
I didn't expect you to be so grateful.
Mom said I must have been a farmer in my previous life.
What?
A farmer?
We're not rich, but Xiaoman,
you're always my beloved daughter,
the apple of my eye.
Dad.
I'm sorry for what happened today.
I promise you.
In the future, I'll never do that to you again.
But you have to promise me too.
No matter what happens,
think carefully before you act.
It's thundering.
It's going to rain.
Hurry. Get in.
Don't forget your book box.
- Dad. I... I'll get an umbrella for you. - Don't bother.
- Give me a sec. - No need. Get in. Don't bother. Go in.
- Dad. - I'm leaving.
- Dad, wait a moment. - I'm leaving.
- Dad. - Bye!
Dad!
[The Commandery Prince's Mansion is hiring.]
Someday, with my sail piercing the clouds,
I will mount the wind, break the waves, and traverse the vast, rolling sea.
I'm sure to get you back!
[Xie Residence]
[Commandery Prince Mansion]
- You're... - Are you hiring a maid servant to clean the study?
The wage is 50 cash per day, right?
I can read. I'm sure I'll do a good job.
I can start from tomorrow.
Here is the tea.
Here. Hurry.
I'm thirsty.
Your Highness, have some tea to refresh yourself.
Hanchen, this morning, we got a letter from Principal Yang's servant.
I'm afraid your mother wrote a letter to Principal Yang.
I wonder why your mother insists on your studying in the capital.
The location doesn't matter at all.
What's the big deal of studying in the imperial college?
Hanchen was engaged to Miss Shen Zhaowen when they were very little.
Now they've grown up.
It seems that his mother is urging him to study hard, but actually,
she wants him to go back and marry that girl.
Miss Shen?
The daughter of General Shen Zunfu?
So what if it's the Shen family?
We were engaged a long time ago. Nobody would care about it.
My parents must be the only ones who still remember it.
But you can't treat it lightly.
Your mother has contacted Principal Yang.
If she knows about you burning the papers away,
I'm afraid you'll have to go back.
Here are the noodles.
Come on.
Here.
Hurry.
Oh, by the way, the other day, I went to the Teachers' Office at night
and met that girl again.
Help me find out why she went there in the middle of the night.
Okay.
Oh. I remember.
It's the girl who didn't show respect to you last time, right?
She's way too bold.
What's her background?
She's just a naive girl.
Nothing special about her background.
Your Highness, I have something to report to you.
We've got a new maid servant to clean up your study.
She's clever.
Today is her first day.
You can read in the study from now on.
Anything else?
The tassel attached to your big brother's sword has become loose.
The weaver in our mansion has gone home to visit her family.
So, shall we have it repaired by someone else tomorrow?
It's okay.
Put it on the desk.
I'll take it with me and have it repaired.
I'm full.
What's going on? Are you already full?
What's the story of the sword tassel?
It belongs to Hanchen's big brother.
His big brother?
Zhao Xiaojie, Duke of Yongguo?
Isn't he dead?
Mr. Yan!
Please never say that again.
Anyone who says that in our mansion will be given a beating.

"Therefore, soldiers must be treated in the first instance with humanity,
but kept under control by means of iron discipline.
This is a certain road to victory."
How is everything going, Xiaoman?
Mr. Liangji.
There are many books here.
Commandery Prince doesn't often come here,
so it became a mess before we knew it.
It's nothing.
But there are way too many books here.
I haven't even heard of some of them.
I plan to sort them out by category.
The four forms of poetry are put on this side.
Confucian classics are put on that side.
I found there are also many books on the art of war.
What's written here on the paper is also about that.
So I plan to put those books here on both sides.
Xiaoman, you're really clever.
You're the best person for the job.
What is it?
It's a sword tassel.
It's the treasure of the Commandery Prince.
Nobody is allowed to touch it without permission.
However, after so many years, it is falling apart.
Can you repair it?
No, I can't.
If you can do it, instead of 50 cash,
I'll be willing to pay 500.
500 cash?
Half a string?
The pattern...
Xiaoman, don't touch it.
Mr. Liangji,
I heard...
I heard that Magistrate Xie gave
two hectares of land to the Commandery Prince.
- Is that true? - Yes. It happened the other day.
How do you know that?
The land used to be ours.
I've figured it out.
My wage is 50 cash a day.
So I can earn a string in 20 days.
The two hectares of land is worth 100 strings.
If I work in your mansion for 2,000 days, is it possible
for me to get the land back?
No wonder you want to work here.
We are all unlucky folks, or we couldn't have left our hometown.
Don't worry.
That small piece of land is nothing for the Commandery Prince.
How about this? As long as I can balance the accounts,
I'll keep the two hectares of land for you.
Thank you, Mr. Liangji.
It's nothing.
Oh no!
Mr. Liangji, I have to go.
I'll finish the rest next time.
What's the rush?
