[Falling Into You]

[Adapted from the novel "Blazing Trail" by Twentine]

[Episode 12]

I want all the buns.

Right away.

And give me four tofu puddings

and eight fried dough-sticks.

Eight fried dough-sticks. Sure.

Thank you.

One portion of steam dumplings too, please.

Steam dumplings.

Okay.

Thank you.

Duan Yucheng?

You dare to show your face here?

You dare to show your face here?

Calm down.

-You drunkard. -Calm down.

I was worried sick, you know?

I know.

Sorry.

So I bought all of you breakfast

to make up for you.

Soy milk and fried dough-sticks.

They are delicious.

We thought you were dead.

Don't think we will let you off just with these.

Wait.

You think fried dough-sticks will do?

-Fried breadsticks? -I was fine.

I was fine.

I grew up by the sea.

I'm a good swimmer.

So I can't possibly...

But that event

traumatized us.

And the soy milk you bought is the sweet one.

Okay, I'll buy the salty one.

Stop right there!

Do you know what you did wrong now?

I...

Do you regard us as your good friends or not?

You gave us a huge scare

and we didn't even know why.

Why?

Just because we're men,

we won't be able to understand

your wistful thoughts?

Let's hear him out.

Tell us now.

Hurry.

I'll come clean.

I did plan

to quit sports

to study.

It seems like you had an epiphany.

Will you come back to us now?

I did have an epiphany.

I will continue doing sports.

-You... -But this doesn't mean

we're not good buddies.

Right?

All right.

Don't be mad,

okay?

Now that you're back,

it'll be harder for me to get Shi Yin's attention.

Coach.

You have sobered up.

All right.

I won't snitch on you.

I hope

I didn't do anything inappropriate yesterday.

Other than clinging to my arm and begging for forgiveness,

you passed out on my bed for a night.

Nothing else.

You could have kicked me off the bed.

I can sleep soundly

on the floor too.

You're a big guy.

I won't be able to move you.

What's so funny?

Thanks, Coach.

No need.

No more next time.

I thanked you because you helped me get my medal back.

If it weren't for your intervention,

I might have quit it for good.

You don't need a gold medal to have a reason to do sports.

I admit

that victory was all in my mind

back then.

That must be when Mao Maoqi was here.

But I have come to a realization.

I like track and field and that's why I'm here.

Regardless of the match outcome

or who my opponent is,

as long as I still love track and field,

I'll be here.

Don't worry.

Track and field is an all-inclusive sport.

As long as you want to be here,

there will be a place for you.

Train hard now.

Cannonball!

Have you heard it?

Someone jumped off a bridge yesterday.

He got all soaked

and made a scene in the street.

Some said the victim was possessed

due to a breakup.

Oh, no. What should we do?

Ghosts have their standards too

before they pick their target.

Looking at you,

I'm sure the ghost won't possess you at all.

It's not a suicide due to a breakup.

-Coach Luo. -Coach Luo.

But someone did jump into the river

because he was wasted.

You know the details, Coach Luo?

A boy or a girl? From which faculty?

Faculty of Economics and Management, I heard.

Do you know the student?

I...

Is the person in the same faculty as yours?

So?

Is the person dead?

Dead?

No.

The person is still alive.

Oh, Mr. Duan.

You came to train today.

You come and go

whenever you like.

It's almost as if you own the track and field team.

Sorry.

I made a mistake.

I won't repeat it again.

Something's wrong with you two.

What?

Senior Liu

cares about Senior Duan.

And Senior Duan

actually apologized to Senior Liu.

I don't care about him.

It doesn't matter

whether he's here or not.

All right. Enough.

Warm up now.

Yes.

-Coach. -Let's go.

What about me?

Do some basic training.

I'll think

about your transfer.

You'll have your answer after the final exam.

Okay.

Go now.

This baby of mine.

I have to carry it properly.

I took good care of it.

[Yougong Academy]

You're leaving now?

Where's Hu?

He took the morning bus and went back.

What about you?

You won't go home?

I'm not going home this summer break.

I have to train with my team.

Wonderful.

Take care of my baby then.

No need to water it too often.

I count on you.

See you.

Okay.

Take care of yourself

and my baby.

-Okay. -Bye.

See you after the summer break.

Morning.

It's summer break now.

I'll move in to stay with you guys.

Who let you in?

Hold this for me.

Thank you.

You sure made yourself at home quickly.

I'm fine with it.

Do you know Mao Maoqi cleared 2.24 m in high jump?

Do you know I cleared 2.2 m then?

Thank you.

You're the worst among us here.

Senior!

All right. Come down now.

Careful.

Why aren't you training with us lately?

I hardly see you every day.

What else can the reason be?

He's not good enough for the high jump team.

When did you last cut your hair?

Time to fix your hair.

Take me to the barber's then.

Okay.

Glad to have you back.

I guess both of us here are not good enough for him,

Tian.

♪The pulse, I feel it♪

♪It's here, believe it♪

♪I'm all alone, it's true♪

♪As we stand together, we're front and center♪

♪We're part of something bigger than ourselves♪

♪Everybody, on your feet♪

You want me to switch to throwing?

♪Put your hand to your heart♪

Back off.

Back off.

That side.

♪As you all come together♪

♪We've worked, we've waited♪

You can do this, Cheng!

♪It's here, we've made it♪

♪We've watched with bated breath♪

♪Our sweat will witness♪

♪Our strength will win this♪

♪Our tears of joy will vindicate us♪

What was that?

Don't do it half-heartedly.

What's going on?

Measure it.

How far?

No, Coach.

What if I practice throwing

-What are you afraid of? -and I...

You're worried that training your arm strength

might affect your jump height?

(8 m.)

What did you promise me that day?

Are you taking back your words now?

No.

I can always cut down my weight after I retire.

Continue.

♪Because we all grow together♪

♪We've got fire in our eyes♪

♪We've got fire in our boats♪

[All the best!]

[Wow!]

[You can do this]

[That's right]

♪Everybody, on your feet♪

[Bravo]

♪A breathtaking moment♪

♪As you all come together♪

So?

Give me two more days

and I can promise you I'll reach further.

Shot put is not good.

Javelin is decent.

Your performance is on par with a second-grade athlete.

What do you think?

Bench press limit?

It's 97 kg.

And that's without any professional training.

Your upper body strength is above average,

perfect for short bursts.

Of course.

No wonder your high jump sucks.

Coach,

I did train for javelin throwing when I was in high school.

If you want me to switch to throwing,

I think

javelin will suit me well.

What do you think?

It's because throwing sports athletes

usually have a better physique, isn't it?

So you saw through that.

Oh, well.

So what do you want me to train, Coach?

Javelin?

Discus?

Shot put?

What is going on?

Poor internet signal?

[Coach Yang Jin]

Who is this Yang Jin?

It's none of your business.

I mean I can help you.

The size of your video is too large

so you failed to send it.

Let me help you, Coach.

Go ahead.

Done.

So

who is this Coach Yang Jin?

Thank you for your service.

Go and do

some stretching.

But Coach,

you sent a video of me to someone else.

I...

Yes, Coach.

Bye, Coach.

[Hall of Fame, congratulations Duan Yucheng]

[for getting first place in 100-meter sprint in the 8th Athletics Sports Games]

After you left,

Luo Na barged into the organizing committee's office

to report Zhang Hongwen for doping.

(Whether you're still on the team or not,)

(as long as it's rightfully yours,)

(she will get it back for you.)

Happy?

I don't care about it.

I need to talk to you.

Sure.

Let's talk over there.

It's too hot here.

Come.

There's no sun here.

Thank you for today, Coach Wu.

Bye, Coach Wu!

Bye!

Smooth-talking sure gets you far.

What makes you this cheery then?

Are you

interested in decathlon?

Decathlon?

This idea has always been in my mind,

but the university

doesn't have this program.

No one can coach you.

But then I heard

that Coach Yang Jin has retired.

Do you know him?

He was a decathlon coach in my sports school.

He's experienced

and reputable nationwide.

I talked to Mr. Wang

and invited Coach Yang here.

So your business trip earlier on

was to meet him?

Yes.

He turned me down at first.

But

I kept pestering him.

He then said he would decide after he evaluated your performance.

It wasn't fixed in stone yet

so I didn't tell you.

But he called me just now

and agreed to coach you

after he saw your video.

Mr. Wang is fine with this.

Coach Yang is willing to teach you.

So what do you think then?

I...

Decathlon will be challenging.

But you are a well-rounded athlete

with good stamina.

I have met many athletes

but none excels in as many areas

as you do.

Besides, you love high jump with a passion.

Of course,

if you don't want this,

you can switch to 100-meter sprint.

Why are you smiling?

Are you up for it or not?

What?

Is it that emotional?

No.

I just didn't expect

to be able to do high jump again.

I didn't expect you

to do this much for me either.

Sure.

I am your coach.

Decathlon?

Do we have a decathlon coach here?

Coach Luo found one for me.

He'll start teaching next week.

You're amazing, Cheng.

You can be a decathlon athlete.

Amazing my foot.

Only those who are bad at high jump do decathlon.

Decathlon is not easy.

It has ten events.

Other than high jump,

you have 100-meter sprint,

-110-meter hurdling... -Shut up.

Why are you smiling?

Don't get ahead of yourself now.

Yes, you are Coach Luo's favorite.

And you

think you're above everyone else.

No.

You think you're a cut above.

That's not accurate either.

How do you call that again?

You're all cocky because you know

you're someone's favorite.

Smug.

Yes, smug.

That's you.

However,

do you really think

I'm Coach Luo's favorite?

So you still have the nerve to ask this.

She never pampers us.

You know what you're doing now?

What you're doing here

is called

bragging,

brandishing,

rubbing it on our faces.

You should study language instead.

Right?

[Luo Na] (When are you free tomorrow?)

(I'll show you a place.)

(I'm free all day long.)

(See you tomorrow then.)

[Decathlon]

[Decathlon]

Take that one.

That one?

Coach.

I think we have enough.

Yes.

Come.

Coach.

Do we need that many books?

Yes, we do.

Coach Yang values both theories and practices.

Although

a coach won't normally ask

an athlete to read books,

it's best if you have some basic understanding.

That way, when you talk to him,

you can understand what he's saying better.

But I can't

finish all of them in a week.

Excuse me.

This press is famous.

[Modern Track and Field: Techniques and Training] I know this author.

This seems to be a reference book,

so you have to read it.

Read these three books first.

[Track and Field Tutorials]

Coach.

You do invest a lot in me.

Of course.

You're on my team

and I introduced you to Coach Yang.

I have a reputation to maintain.

Is that all?

So

train hard.

Arrive ten minutes earlier for your daily morning training.

Do not skip any other extra training

outside of your course.

Also,

keep a proper sleeping schedule and a balanced diet.

Don't skimp on them just because you're young.

You're far

from a passable

decathlon athlete.

Yes, Coach.

You know,

yesterday,

Liu Shan told me

that since you treat me

differently,

I am becoming

a bit...

A bit what?

Tell me.

Smug.

Smug?

How eloquent of him.

They only saw the good part.

They didn't see when I was scolding you.

Exactly.

But everyone said

you

gave me

the preferential treatment,

compared to others.

I think

you do

dote on me, more or less.

I dote on you.

If you don't train harder,

I'll dote even harder on you.

All right. That will be all.

Not a lot anyway.

Read them.

Coach Yang is very strict.

Yang.

Wang.

Do you know?

Having you here

reassures me.

Do you know why?

Now that you're here,

our decathlon athlete

will produce a good result before I retire.

You're too optimistic.

Our best athletes

are a far cry

from the world champions.

No.

Yang.

I have to be frank with you.

You're too humble

and too pessimistic.

Our country

still has room for improvement.

Also,

we have a coach like you.

You have coached the third-best athlete in this country,

haven't you?

That's a trivial matter.

Insignificant.

For example, him.

When you were in sports school,

I did teach you sprinting,

didn't I?

Yes, Coach Yang.

You also taught me to play Quidditch.

Quid what?

You don't know Quidditch?

Even my son knows that.

You ride a broomstick

and fly.

All right.

I don't care what ditch it's called.

Let's pay a visit

to Duan Yucheng.

Now?

It's past ten already.

-Now. -Now.

Sir.

Tian.

What?

Spot check.

Why are you

sneaking around?

Are you hiding some forbidden items?

There's nothing on my bed, sir.

Go to bed.

Who among you is Duan Yucheng?

I am.

You?

You look smart.

Mr. Wang.

That is my bed.

Sir.

Sir.

Not bad.

Are you all right?

What do you think?

You look awful.

I'm drunk.

Get away from me.

You scared me.

Why the long face?

Are you mad at me?

No.

Just now...

You're young. Why are you frowning?

Is it because we disturb your sleep?

No.

Sleep is for the old.

Coach Wu.

You must be tired.

Sleep here.

Come, Coach Wu.

Coach Wu.

No need to help me.

Don't touch me.

I know what I'm doing.

Come. I'll walk you back.

Careful.

Don't worry.

I will never ever drink.

Not even after I retire.

How did you read

my mind?

That said,

whether you drink or not after you retire

is out of my purview.

Where will you sleep tonight then?

My faculty has some spare rooms.

It's okay.

You can go back.

All right then.

Coach.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Sir.

Last night...

You know,

the National University Games is almost in forty days.

Show me your fighting spirit.

Stay active.

Yes.

Sir, are you trying to know

last night...

What last night?

My plan is none of your concern.

Understood?

And you,

Wu Ze.

You.

You have to set a good example.

Those students

shouldn't learn from a bad example.

No, sir.

People look up to you more than they look up to me.

Don't you agree?

How

are Duan Yucheng and Liu Shan doing lately?

Sir.

No need to be embarrassed.

They are adults too.

They will soon forget

what they shouldn't remember.

I'm talking about serious business.

Stop beating around the bush.

Let's drop it.

I have a flight this afternoon.

I'll check the National University Games out before everyone else.

Do your job.

Your bag.

He fled with his tail between his legs.

Naturally.

If I got as drunk as he did last night,

I wouldn't dare

to show my face the next day.

I wasn't drunk.

All right.

You heard Mr. Wang.

I'll coach the athletes.

I wasn't drunk.

Duan Yucheng pushed me away last night.

I remember that.

Luo Na held you in high regard.

She exaggerates.

She said

you got into the Faculty of Economics and Management here on your own.

Yes.

Tell me then.

How familiar are you with decathlon?

Decathlon takes place over two days.

The first day

includes high jump, long jump,

shot put, 100-meter sprint, and 400-meter race.

The rest is on the second day.

A 1,500-meter race is the final event.

Usually,

after the first nine events,

we won't have much stamina for the final event.

That 1,500-meter race

is a trial of our will.

You know it well.

Ms. Luo gave me some books.

I skimmed through them.

Those professional books are meant for coaches.

Ms. Luo said I was a quick learner

so I should be able to progress faster.

Applying the right teaching method to the right person.

I can tell she devotes a lot to you.

Have you done all of them at once?

No.

But I have more or less trained for each event.

Since you like studying that much,

study more then.

Many factors affect

one's overall performance in the decathlon.

I have some

international research papers on it from these few years.

Study them.

I will go through your sports history too

to devise your training program.

Okay.

Go then.

No training for today?

I told you to study.

Are three days enough?

Yes.

I'll study first then.

Bye.

I'll give you an exam after three days.

Sure. And I'll surprise you.

You're here.

You are short-sighted?

A bit.

I never saw you wear glasses.

I usually wear contact lenses.

But I do wear glasses occasionally.

Coach Yang's assignment?

Decathlon training methods and studies

on their structure.

Go ahead then.

I won't bother you then.

It's okay.

It's almost recess time.

Have a rest here.

Do you know you need to study anatomy

to prepare for decathlon?

Of course, I do.

If I didn't know that,

how could I become a graduate student?

However, I do not know

much about the anatomy class a decathlon athlete

has to study.

After all, you're

the first decathlon athlete at Nanhu University.

Do you truly like decathlon?

Why do you ask?

Nothing.

You fought hard to get me

this opportunity.

I will cherish it.

I'm glad.
