[Episode 04]

Five!

Four!

Three!

Two!

One!

You like running too?

How many kilometers do you usually run?

Until I can't run anymore.

Running

is a boring sport,

especially on winter mornings

when you have to climb out of bed.

You don't need to be so harsh on yourself.

I want to stay disciplined.

Perseverance in doing something difficult

can make one become more determined.

What do you think?

I just like running.

[Tender Light]

You know what?

That day,

in front of everyone,

Xu Yi knelt to Nan Ya!

Really?

Of course.

[Seven months ago] Listen up.

[Zhou Luo's 2nd month back in Qingshui] My brother was on duty that day.

[May 1999] Xu Yi knelt there for a long time.

Nan Ya didn't even spare him a glance.

Give me a bottle of chili sauce.

She usually talks softly,

but turns out she's quite ruthless.

Yeah.

Everyone was persuading her,

but she didn't reply

and insisted on locking Xu Yi up.

It was a trivial matter between a married couple,

yet she would rather make a scene at the police station.

She wasn't ashamed at all!

When time and space intersect,

do this.

Hold his hand.

Right then,

he'll definitely look at you.

And then you say,

"Zhou Luo,

I like you."

That's so romantic.

Crazy.

I won't do that.

Why you put these eye shadows on me?

It's pretty.

Listen.

Men

only care about women's appearances.

Do you think Zhou Luo is an exception?

This one, with this jacket.

Celebrities from Hong Kong, China and Taiwan, China wear like this.

Guixiang, your watermelon is sweet.

Then have more.

It's on me.

I was just out for a while...

Mom, you're back.

You've already set up a stall, huh?

I'm heading out.

Where are you going?

I'm going to the library to study.

Drink more water.

Your lips are dry.

You've finished this?

Nice.

Let me copy it.

Bingbing.

Copy one for me.

You wish.

You're too lazy to copy it.

What if our teacher finds out?

The handwriting will be the same.

Change the handwriting, then.

Please?

Give it to me.

How annoying.

Here.

[Poetry Anthology, edited by Moyu]

[Poetry Anthology borrowed by Nan Ya]

[The Proud July]

[He is gentle yet bold]

[He seductively tells me]

["I want you."]

[Before the arrival of night]

[In the exchanges of glances]

[Amidst tranquility]

[In the depths of inscrutability]

[In the shadows of time]

[He immerses himself]

[Into a silence]

[As if in a crucible]

[In the depths]

[Amidst the damp heat]

[I am thrown up high]

Why are you blushing?

Am I?

Your ears are getting red, too.

It's sweltering. The weather is horrible.

Yes.

It's not even summer, yet it's already too hot.

Zhou Luo, why are you blushing?

What did Qingli do to you?

What did she do?

Stop it.

Tell me.

What did you do to Zhou Luo?

You're so annoying.

Don't talk nonsense.

Stop talking nonsense.

Bingbing, he's bullying me.

Bingbing, I've discovered a big secret.

Just now, Qingli...

Shut up.

[Cognitive Neuroscience]

Guixiang.

Are you not busy today?

By the way, tell your mom

she need to settle her account this month.

Okay, got it, Guixiang.

Don't do that.

[Guixiang Mart]

Zhou Luo!

Zhou Luo!

Zhou Luo!

Zhou Luo!

Come on, let's go and play!

Hurry.

Come on.

Wait up.

Why are you two so slow?

Coming.

Chen Jun, hurry.

Come on.

Bingbing!

Help me, Bingbing!

Splash them!

[Blue Sea]

I'm very dissatisfied

with the results of this exam.

Go through all the exam papers

carefully

with the answer key.

Work hard and make sure you understand everything.

Copy them down.

I want you to write an essay

reflecting on

where your weaknesses lie

in all subjects.

Finish it and hand it to me

before you go home.

Zhou Luo, you don't have to write it.

You can go home.

Why?

Quiet!

What are you looking at?

If you can, score better than him.

You are all studying here.

Why can he

get such good results?

Go on.

Liu Xun.

You're talented

and diligent,

but you can't get affected by Zhou Luo.

Adjust your mindset

and work hard.

I have high hopes for you.

What is inside?

Nan Ya

asked me to buy something for her.

It has been here for a few days,

but she hasn't picked it up yet.

Remind me

to deliver it to her today.

I'll do this.

I happen to be heading there to meet a classmate.

That's great.

Then bring it to her for me.

I've hemmed the trousers.

Done?

That's fast.

Let me iron it for you.

Nan Ya, you're really dexterous.

Your are really good at doing this.

Nan Ya,

let me tell you a secret.

Not only am I good at treating patients,

but I also read palms.

Let me read your palm.

I'm an unlucky person.

There are lots of sayings about this.

Let me pack this up for you.

Okay.

Zhou Luo,

why are you here?

Why can't I be here?

This is a women's clothing store.

Then what are you doing here

in broad daylight?

What?

What are you talking about?

What do you mean by broad daylight?

I'm Wanwan's attending doctor.

I came here to talk about the child's illness with Nan Ya

and asked her to help me hem these trousers.

What's wrong with that?

Dr. Jiang, I didn't say anything.

Why are you nervous?

You haven't done anything shameful, have you?

I'm not nervous at all.

Why would I be nervous?

Kid,

you'd better not think too much

at such a young age.

Dr. Jiang,

I'm doing this for your own good.

Look,

the window is transparent.

Others can see

what you're doing in here.

If you're going to have a serious conversation,

don't stand so close to her.

Otherwise,

others might think you are...

Anyway, it won't be good for you.

Okay.

Thank you.

Zhou Luo,

you're the zhuangyuan, right?

You haven't graduated from university.

Then why did you come back and went to cram school?

Being zhuangyuan only once isn't enough for me.

I just want to take the exam and be zhuangyuan again.

You're quite stubborn, huh?

You're bragging.

If you fail to be admitted to an university,

you'll lose your face.

Done.

Thank you.

Take Wanwan to the hospital

so I can give her new prescriptions.

Okay, thank you.

I should be the one saying thank you.

Zhou Luo.

Are you looking for me?

The goods you ordered are here.

My mom told me to deliver it to you.

I've been busy in the shop these days

and didn't have time to pick it up.

Thank you

for delivering it to me.

It's fine. It's not far from here.

No problem.

You must've been busy studying recently, right?

Time is precious.

It isn't easy to get the highest score in the exam.

It is hard for the first time,

but it won't be that hard for the second time.

You're quite arrogant.

You'll soon find out if I'm arrogant

or telling the truth.

What is this?

It's a toy I made for Wanwan.

It's quite interesting.

That's only half done.

Even so, it looks exquisite.

Did you sew all the clothes in your shop?

Half of them.

Not all.

Not many people in town buy them.

Most of the customers are outsiders.

They have their own factories

and want to make them the ready-to-wear clothes in bulk

for sale.

What's wrong with your clothes?

Take it off.

Let me sew it for you.

Why don't you cover up with this?

Done.

Wait a moment.

It will only take a few minutes.

Hurry.

You're going to be late.

The teacher will punish you.

Wait outside.

It won't take long.

I'm not wearing any clothes,

and I'm just draped in a lady's shawl.

People will laugh at me.

Done. Put it on.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Go out!

I... I wasn't...

Get out!

Get out.

Stop pretending.

Jiang Zhi has touched your hand.

Was he here to have his clothes sewn and talk about the illness?

Stop acting innocent.

Did I unbutton

the button on your back?

Or are you blaming me for having eyes and seeing it?

If you're not licentious,

why would others come to you?

Why?

Am I right?

Don't you have anything to say?

I've read the poetry collection

you borrowed

from the town library.

In short, anyone who reads those erotic poems

is

indecent!

No wonder people in town say you are profligate.

From now on,

I won't talk to you anymore.

It's all your fault!

Why do I wear a torn shirt?

It's all your fault!

Because log64x

is equal to -2/3...

Sorry, Sir.

Sit down.

Thus, x

64

equals to 64 to the power of -2/3,

which equals to four to the power of three in parentheses,

then to the power of -2/3.

It also equal to four to the power of negative two.

It equals to...

Boring.

Do you think it's boring?

I think it's quite interesting.

You want something better?

Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo.

Look.

This is better.

All the girls on it are prettier than Nan Ya.

Here you go. Take it.

Don't annoy me.

What are you doing, Zhou Luo?

If you don't want to learn, don't bother others.

If you don't want to listen,

go out!

Just because you have good grades

doesn't mean you can be arrogant.

Listen.

If there is a problem with your moral character,

you won't be admitted to university!

What are you looking at?

Do you know how to solve this problem already?

If you do, come up here and solve it.

[Cognitive Neuroscience]

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Thank you.

[Qingshui Library]

I've written the problem on the blackboard.

Let's take a look at it.

Zhou Luo.

Mr. Zheng.

It really is you.

Why are you here?

I'm here to see you.

Let's go to my office.

[Poetry Anthology, edited by Moyu]

Is this why you're here to see me?

Yes.

I think there's another reason.

Like what?

For example, give me an explanation,

make things clear

or pour out your heart.

Zhou Luo,

I was your class adviser for three years.

You are the student I've had the highest hopes for.

I've seen you became the zhuangyuan

and got admitted to a prestigious university.

Actually, your language grade

is not the highest,

but I've always been proud of you.

I still remember when you were filling out your university application

we had a in-depth conversation

about your future

and academic plans.

But why this time?

Why did this happen?

You can't use sick leave as an excuse

to give me runaround.

It isn't a big deal.

I'll just take the exam again.

Looks like you still don't want to talk about it.

University life is not as I imagined it to be.

No matter

where we go, we'll always be part of society.

There are lots of things

that we don't understand.

And you just quit

because it wasn't what you imagined it to be?

I was kicked out by the university.

Why?

I beat a teacher up,

but I don't regret it.

If you're going to Huashan Cram School,

it means you've figured it out.

Don't talk

about the past anymore.

I won't ask more questions.

Just remember

to make full advantage of your intelligence.

This one

isn't exactly first rate.

I know you have questions.

You think it's dirty

and vulgar,

right?

That was my first thought.

Looks like

physics cannot satisfy your needs.

The end of one's imagination is poetry.

Everything can be written in poetry.

Like the natural instincts of man and little nothings of life.

Humans are full of passion.

Medicine, law, science, and business

can be pursued as lifelong careers.

As for poetry,

art,

beauty,

romance and love,

these are

reasons to stay alive.

Of course,

these words didn't come from me.

Let me introduce you to a movie.

Watch it.

[Dead Poets Society]

[Patrizia Valduga]

[Women are more distressed than young ladies]

[Women are in pain and confusion]

[Engulfed in visceral anguish]

[I cannot emerge from the darkness of this morning]

[Unable to escape from the coal-like night]

[In the midst of solid ice and scorching heat]

[Unable to break free from the entanglement of desires]

[In the days of fires and war]

[We pretend to be calm]

[Light-hearted and soothed]

[Hunting between triumph and disappointment]

[Without temptation or snares]

[How to hold on to a loving relationship]

[The heart is falling]

[What do I have left?]

[Nothingness and emptiness]

[And hunger]

[I know that you exist]

[Because you've pictured me]

[I am tall]

[Because you perceive me as tall]

[I am clean]

[Because you're seeing me with your nice eyes]

[You see me with your clear eyes]

[Your thoughts make me wise]

[You're innocent and gentle]

[So I am also innocent and kind]

[But if you forget me]

[I will die unnoticed]

[People will see my body alive]

[But the one dwelling inside]

[Will be another person]

[Gloomy, obtuse, and grumpy]

Inhale.

Hold it.

Exhale.

Good.

Zhou Luo

didn't say anything strange recently, did he?

It sounds like he's holding a grudge against me.

Is Wanwan getting better?

I told you previously

that her illness can only be controlled.

It is irreversible.

Wait until she grows up.

She can get a suitable replacement.

Her father is rich anyway.

I heard from the director

that we recently got a new batch of highly effective medications.

They work really well,

but we need special approval from the director.

Do you want me to get you some?

Sure.

Thank you, Dr. Jiang.

I'll deliver it to you tonight.

I'll come here to take it tomorrow.

I want to try your cooking.

But I'm more skilled

at using scissors, thread and needles.

I'll sew clothes for you.

Is it that difficult to get you to cook for me?

It's hard to get that special medication.

Dr. Jiang,

over these years, besides favors,

I don't owe you anything else.

You've received

quite a bit of money and gifts.

If you have any other thoughts,

just forget about it.

Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined.

Let's go and get your medication.

You're overthinking.

Mom, look. Butterfly!

Be careful, Wanwan.

Watch your step.

Wanwan.

Do you like this butterfly?

Yes.

Where did you catch it?

In the mountains.

Here, take it.

I'll catch more for you later.

Take this too.

Wanwan.

Remember I've told you

that you can't take other people's things.

Let's go.

Umm...

I'm sorry.

I was wrong to say those things the other day.

And I didn't mean that.

I deliberately took it out on you because I was angry.

I studied the poems

you mentioned earlier.

I truly am ignorant when it comes to literature,

so I take back everything I said earlier.

After handing in the answer sheet for an exam,

and you realize you've got the answer wrong,

can you take it back and correct it?

Swords wound the body, and words wound the heart.

You can't take back

what you've said.

You think you're like those people in town,

casually expressing

your opinion.

You don't mean it.

After all, everyone has the right to speak their mind.

Doing good or evil is a matter of personal freedom.

Likewise, not forgiving you

is my freedom.

Why?

Are you surprised?

Do you think I'm the kind of person

who doesn't even care

even though I'm hurt badly by others?

No matter how others insult me, as long as they apologize to me,

I will forgive them like nothing ever happened?

When I smile at you,

you say I'm frivolous.

When I'm kind to you,

you say I'm wanton.

When I'm sincere to you,

you say I am embarrassing myself.

Now that you've found I'm not that easygoing,

you think I'm mean

and unreasonable, right?

No.

All of that was said by people in town,

not by me.

People in town are calling me a loose woman,

so even kids like you

can insult me.

I thought

you were different from them.
