[Episode 2: First encounter during one's youth, part 2]

Happy new year!

What are you doing? Get up! Get up!

Everyone, hurry and take a look!

Xia Xiaoju's shoes are worn out.

How can there be such a barbaric girl?

Everyone, hurry and take a look!

Xia Xiaoju's shoes are worn out.

What are you doing?

Why are you so annoying?

How am I annoying?

- I'm just telling the truth. - Let go of me!

Everyone, hurry and look! Xia Xiaoju's shoes are worn...

Shiyi! Baobao!

It's almost time for class. Hurry, let's go.

Let's go to the classroom. Quickly!

- Hurry up! - I'm off to class.

You're wounded. It's not good if you stand for too long.

Hurry, let's go. The bell rung. Hurry up. Hurry up.

Be careful.

Thank you.

[Teachers' Office]

Xiaoju.

It's been a week since you came to our school.

Have you adapted to it?

I-I feel it's been all right.

Here's the thing.

Well, have you ever thought

of returning to your former school?

Mr. Zhang,

did I do something wrong?

No, no.

Don't be nervous.

I looked at your scores for the recent exams

and talked with your teachers for various subjects to understand your situation.

In all, your scores are not ideal.

You can feel that, right?

But I know you're hard-working.

If you were a sophomore right now,

I would have definitely encouraged you to work harder.

But you're a senior now.

I'm very afraid you can't catch up with our pace in reviewing.

Teachers also won't slow down their review pace just for you.

Look,

how about you go and discuss this with your parents?

It's best for you to return to your former school.

This may be better for your college entrance exam.

The reason why I told you this is not to discourage you.

I just want to find a learning method better suited for you.

We all hope you can get a good score on the college entrance exam.

Xiaoju.

How about giving me your shoes?

I'll see if I can repair it for you.

No need, but thanks.

Let me have a look.

These are the shoes I wear when I play basketball.

Wear these for now.

Thank you.

Can you even repair shoes?

I can't.

I just want to see if there's a way for you to wear this till you get home.

Why are you laughing?

Your shoe is so big.

It seems like a small boat when I wear it.

Are you mad at Shiyi?

Actually, Lu Shiyi is not a bad person.

He just has a naughty personality.

Even though he says really mean things,

he absolutely wouldn't do anything bad to you.

Don't worry.

It doesn't matter.

After all,

very soon, it wouldn't matter to me.

Xiaoju.

Why is there tape inside your shoe?

Tell me! Did you do this to my shoe?

Didn't I fix it all up for you?

Is this fixed? Is this fixed?

I'm going to teach you a lesson today!

Help me!

- Sister wants to hit me! - Do you want to run?

- Sister is going to hit me! - You dare run?

Come here!

- Do you know how embarrassed I was? - Save me! Sister is hitting me!

- I only have one pair of white tennis shoes and you broke them! - Save me!

Xiaoju, have you gone crazy?

- What happened? - Sister hit me. It hurts really bad!

What are you doing? How could you hit your younger brother?

You didn't even ask about what he did.

No matter what he did, you can't hit him.

As his sister, you should give way to your brother.

Why should I always give way to him?

I've been giving way to him since I was young.

You also blamed me when he made a mistake.

You always favor him!

You don't care about my feelings.

In order to send him to the best primary school in the city,

without asking me, we moved houses.

You made me also transfer to another school!

Have you asked if I had adjusted?

Have you asked if I was happy about it?

You...

Why are you, this child, so insensible?

Old Xia,

you've only been here for a few days

yet you are doing a two-man's job yourself.

What tonics have you been eating

to have so much strength?

I sent my son to Jiangzhou No.1 Primary School this year.

And my daughter is also going to Jiangzhou No.1 Senior High.

That is even more useful than any tonics.

These two schools are the best in the city.

You must have spent a lot of money.

Old Xia, are you really willing?

Money is something I can earn back after spending.

The important thing is my son hasn't fallen short.

His grades are one of the best in the school.

Really?

That child will have a promising future.

I have already decided

that as long as the kid works hard,

I'll pay for however far he wants to study.

If he wants a Ph.D.,

I'll pay for him to get one.

If he wants to go abroad to study,

I'll pay for that.

You really are a good father.

We're Chinese...

- I also worked hard. - We do this for our children.

- Right? - You're right.

Why do you never care about how I feel?

Almost done.

Xiaoju?

Xiaoju!

Xiaoju!

Wait a moment.

Xiaoju!

Why are you running?

Here. Your favorite soda.

Kid, tell me.

Why did you run just now?

Dad.

Why did you make me transfer schools?

Was it because Jiashu transferred schools and we moved houses

that you also let me go to another school?

Xiaoju, why would you think like that?

I just feel that I have to give way to Jiashu for everything.

As Jiashu grew older,

I couldn't even eat chicken legs.

Everything is done with Jiashu as priority.

Dad, I think I'm redundant.

Kid, you mustn't think like that.

Both, you and Jiashu, are flesh that came from your mom and me.

Both of you are the same.

Of course, your brother had a poor health ever since he was little,

so we perhaps gave him additional attention.

Blame your mom and me.

We neglected how you felt.

But moving here absolutely wasn't just for Jiashu.

We hope Jiashu and you both can have a promising future.

Don't be like us.

We suffered because we didn't receive much education.

Kid...

For you and your brother,

we can endure any hardships happily.

Here.

Is it good?

Dad. Your face is dirty.

Don't touch it. It's too dirty.

Who wouldn't get dirty when working?

Mr. Zhang, although I can't catch up with the pace of learning here,

I want to stay.

Because there's someone who has faith in me.

I can't disappoint him.

So I'll work even harder and harder.

I'll let you and everyone see my progress.

I want to prove that I can stay.

Teacher, please check my score in the monthly exam.

Goodbye, Teacher. Goodbye, Teacher.

Did you hear that?

This kid is pretty ambitious.

Fighting!

Good shot!

Lu Shiyi.

Did you come to help pick up balls for me?

It was my fault previously for blowing up and hurting your butt.

Didn't I warn you to never mention that?

I apologized to you.

If you are still angry,

then you can use firecrackers on me as well.

Anyway, I only hope for you to stop picking faults on me.

She's not to be pushed around with.

Let's go! Come on!

♫ Go! ♫

[Listening: High School English]

Let's look for something more comfortable to sit on now. [Super USB Cassette Capture]

♫ Go! ♫

[Fighting! Don't waste time. Don't waste youth. Dash forward. Dear Teachers, you have worked hard. Fighting for college entrance exams!]

[Fighting for our dreams!]

[301 days left till the college entrance exam]

Baobao. Baobao.

Bao...

Let's play basketball.

What's wrong?

My dad said if I rank last in the monthly exams again,

he'll break my legs.

Your dad is just trying to scare you.

What about it? Can he really break your legs?

Besides, maybe you won't rank last in the exam this time.

But all the previous painful history has taught us,

I'll rank last undoubtedly.

That's because Xia Xiaoju wasn't here.

She?

Just her English score is much higher than my total score.

She is only able to keep up appearances in English.

As far as I know,

her math, physics, and chemistry are even worse than yours.

I'll show you by studying.

Xiaoju. Why don't we go get something to eat?

No.

I just talked big to Teacher Zhang that I would show him the score I get in the monthly exams.

But right now, I feel really unconfident.

I'm afraid I'll rank last.

You should go. I want to study some more.

Don't worry.

You're not the worst student in our class.

He, Bao Xiangxiang,

always ranks last in our class.

Your first goal is to surpass him!

- I'll surpass you! - I'll surpass you!

Baobao, from today on, I'll help you study.

I'll let your score be much higher than hers.

I'll show her the excellence of Jiangzhou No.1 Senior High.

How could you be like this?

I care about my classmates and want to help them raise their grades. What about it?

If you have the ability, find a military adviser for yourself.

You? A military adviser?

- Taotao, how are his grades? - Average at best.

But it's enough to teach Bao Xiangxiang.

Then, Taotao, can you teach me as well?

Xiaoju. It's not that I don't want to help you.

I can study on my own,

but I don't know what to do

if I have to teach someone else.

Okay, it's fine. I will find some other classmate.

Other people don't even have enough time to study themselves.

Who has the time to care about you?

Baobao. You definitely won't suffer a beating this time!

I...

Xia Xiaoju. How about I help you study?

Do you want to help her?

Is that not allowed?

All right.

You can easily get a score on a mechanics problem.

When we get a mechanics question, what should we do first? [He Ji Cafe]

Read the question?

Make a free body diagram.

Let's look at this question.

First, it emphasized the ball is a smooth ball.

So we don't need to consider its...

friction.

In this case, friction isn't considered.

Let's look at the other forces.

First, this ball is influenced by gravity.

And it's also influenced by an obliquely upward force, right?

And we give it an F force.

Can you understand this part?

- No– - Hey!

Are you guys reviewing?

Can you even learn this?

You two are so childish.

It was you who provoked me first.

Baobao.

Let's also go in.

- Okay. - Let's go.

Don't be influenced by them. Let's continue.

In this place...

What's the answer to this question? I just taught you.

It's A.

What did you say?

It's B?

It's C?

It's D. That's right! I choose D!

D. What D?

The answer is A! Choose A!

Then I was right by choosing A.

What do you mean you were right? You choose all four choices, ABCD!

How could it be right? Are you a pig?

You are such an idiot.

Here. Read this question.

I've taught you this question eight hundred times already.

Come on, tell me what to choose. Can you?

I can?

I can?

You know yourself if you can or not, why are you asking me?

Teacher Lu, if you are half as gentle as Teacher Cheng,

I'll definitely learn much better than now

I definitely won't make you lose face.

How am I not gentle?

Enough crap, hurry and answer the question.

Hurry up.

The magnitude of this acceleration A is 20 meters per second squared.

Am I right?

Yes.

I told you. You are smart.

You just need a bit of guidance to understand.

Xia Xiaoju, fighting.

I've told you so many times already!

Use your left hand to judge force. Use your right hand to judge electricity.

Why can't you remember such an easy thing, brother?

If I could remember this, I wouldn't always rank last.

Learn this by heart, okay?

I'll be checking when I get back later.

Memorize!

Such an idiot.

Baobao.

Baobao, quickly come and look!

The transfer student is dozing off. Baobao.

I knew it.

You want to suffer another beating by your dad?

If you don't want your bottoms to blossom, then sit up and study!

Look! Memorize!

My bottoms blossoming will happen later.

Right now, I need to sleep.

I will just care about the present for now.

Get up.

We can't be defeated by that transfer student, okay?

Wake up. Wake up.

But you said that transfer student is dozing as well.

I want to sleep.

- Come on, get up! - I won't lose.

I'm so sleepy.

Bao Xiangxiang.

Shiyi, turn off the light.

We can't turn it off.

It can't be.

Are they still studying?

Xia Xiaoju, you can't lose.

Fighting! Fighting, fighting!

[Guanghui Hair Salon]

Mom, I am heading off to school.

Mom, I'm running late. I won't eat!

Look at you, child! In the future, stop sleeping in.

- I cooked this all for nothing. - Mom, I really am going to be late!

Xiaoju,

get on the bike.

We're almost late. Hurry and get on!

- Are you holding on tight? - Yes.

- Shiyi. - Did you bring it?

Of course.

[Jiangzhou No. 1 Senior High Examination Questions, Physics: 72]

You're quite good. You actually got it.

I'm not good at studying, but I'm quite good at doing this stuff.

Look how proud you are.

Shiyi. Why do you want Xia Xiaoju's exam paper?

What do you know?

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll never be defeated." (T/N: An excerpt from The Art of War by Sun Tzu's).

I have to understand her abilities, so I can then guide you in a focused way.

So that's why.

- She actually answered this question correctly. - She's pretty smart.

Didn't she guess this?

Can you guess one?

You can't even guess the right answer.

[300 days left till the college entrance exam]

Xiaoju.

In this magazine, there's the latest news about Little Tigers. Take a look! (T/N: A Taiwanese boyband.)

You are too absorbed in study recently.

Come on, have a look.

Taotao, I'll have a look later.

You must analyze it well. That way there won't be any problem.

- Okay. - You can do it.

He actually got this question right?

What are you doing?

[Bao Xiangxiang Examination Papers]

Why do you have Baobao's math exam papers? You–

Xia Xiaoju! You dare take my stuff?

Give it back to me!

Hurry up! Give me back my exam paper.

Xia Xiaoju.

Come on, give back my exam paper!

Xia Xiaoju.

Bao...

Let me see where you can go now.

I-I'll kick you.

Xiaoju, Xiaoju. He took your physics exam papers.

He knows your physics score now.

Bao Xiangxiang.

Return it to me!

- Return it to me! - No, return mine first!

Return my exam papers!

Who told you to take my stuff first?

- Let me tell you, you went too far! - Return it to me!

Hurry up! Let's make a deal! You first–

- Bao Xiangxiang, you... - One hand exchanges the cash, the other with the...

- Return it to me. - Okay, enough! Stop!

Don't the two of you feel embarrassed?

Fighting just to get second to last in class?

If people didn't know, they would think you were fighting to rank first in school.

Xia Xiaoju. The monthly exam is tomorrow.

You must stay.

Fighting.

[There won't be another senior year, everyone is advised to treasure it. The experience of one year will be the wealth of your lifetime.]

Time is up!

Students, please hand in your papers.

It seems you did pretty well.

The physics exam was so easy this time, right?

You say, physics was easy?

Yes. Stop checking answers.

Let me tell you, was the answer to the last question five?

Am I right?

I even had time to review my answers.

Is it five?

Baobao.

Five is the right answer.

But it's the answer to the second to the last question.

There's another question on the back of the paper.

Shouldn't you know that?

There's another question?

You idiot.

- Baobao, the exam is starting. - You can go first.

Okay.

Why isn't he here yet?

What are you doing, Baobao? The exam is starting.

Let's go. What's wrong?

Baobao.

Don't keep thinking about it after the exam is finished.

If we do well on the rest of the exams, maybe we can even catch up on points.

Right? Don't think about it.

It's over. I'm completely done for.

You just didn't finish answering a question.

Even if Xia Xiaoju finished it, she can't have all questions right.

She is right.

I heard her checking answers with Le Tao.

She got one question right that was worth thirty points.

Shiyi, please help me. I'm begging you.

Well, the exam will begin soon.

How do you want me to help you? Let's go take the exam. Don't cry.

Shiyi, I'm begging you. Please help me.

Just once.

Please.

No.

- Let's go. - Shiyi.

- Listen to me. - No way.

Anyway, my legs are going to be broken.

My dad specifically told me yesterday, if I rank last again this time,

he'll really break my legs. Shiyi, please help me.

If I agree to help you and my dad finds out, my legs will also get broken.

I'm begging you, brother! Stop causing trouble. Let's go, alright?

Come on. Hurry up!

Stop causing trouble! Hurry up!

What are the two of you doing there?

What Buddha are you praying to? Hurry and come take the exam.

We're reviewing.

Just this once?

Stand up, go.

- Hurry up! - All right, students.

Check your paper, pen, and scratch paper again.

You can start to answer it after one minute.

Bao Xiangxiang.

What are you doing with Lu Shiyi?

Nothing.

I'm reading the questions.

Go sit over beside Yu Wenxia.

You two, change seats.

Teacher,

when I sit here, I can get a better score.

With your level, wouldn't you do the same wherever you sit?

Go and sit there!

- Teacher... - Go sit there!

Can we start to write, Teacher?

Okay, start to answer questions.

There are fifteen minutes left.

Students, use the time wisely to answer the questions.

What's the answer to the third question?

The answer is C.

Touching your ear?

What does touching your ear mean?

The third question. The third question.

The answer to the fourth question is C.

What are you even doing?

I'm asking the third question.

I'm saying fourth question.

- Write it down. - I can't.

My legs will get broken by my dad. I'm begging you.

Just this once.

Pick it up.

Xia Xiaoju. What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What's under your foot?

Lift up your foot.

What's this?

Lift up your foot.

Lift it up!

You dare cheat?

Teacher, I...

Teacher, I wrote it. It has nothing to do with her.

Lu Shiyi?

Okay. Don't you two dare thinking of running away today!

I said I wrote it. It has nothing to do with her.

- Shut up! - All right.

Have I told you how serious the consequences are for cheating?

- Teacher, I didn't cheat. - You didn't cheat?

I saw it with my own eyes.

I'll tell your parents later!

It's all right. Stop crying. Stop crying.

- Hurry and go have some dinner. - Sister, stop crying.

- Mom, I really didn't cheat. - I know. I know.

I'll go to the school tomorrow

and explain it to your teacher. Will that be good?

Do you trust me?

If I don't believe you, who will? You are my daughter.

I understand you quite well.

But my teachers don't believe me.

So let your mom take you to school to talk with the teachers.

It's okay. Your mom made your favorite braised chicken wings.

You've been working hard for a month. You have to nourish yourself.

I won't eat.

If I do bad on the exam,

I will be sent back to my former school.

Now she has become anxious.

Kid, the reason why we transferred school for you

was to motivate your enthusiasm for learning.

If it's not like that now

and it conversely puts pressure on you,

we'd rather let you go back.

See? Your mom also said so.

Xiaoju, see?

Have a look.

Your mom bought you these.

Did my mom buy these for me?

Don't tell me it fell from the sky?

You're already in your senior year now.

I still have to buy you such a new school uniform.

It's so expensive and a waste of money.

And the shoes.

You bought the tennis shoes with your brother.

His tennis shoes are fine.

Look at yours. Look how worn out they have become.

Some people know you're a student.

Those that don't know would think you work on a construction site.

As a girl, all you know is to cry.

Do you think that's an achievement?

All right, hurry and go eat.

Okay.

Dad, I really didn't cheat.

We believe you.

Okay, try the clothes and come out to eat.

Jiashu, let's go. Let your sister change clothes.

Hurry up, we'll wait for you to eat.

It's right here.

Teacher Zhang.

Xia Xiaoju didn't cheat.

Bao Xiangxiang and I wanted to cheat in the exam.

Xia Xiaoju found out,and she wanted to stop us.

You dare cheat on the monthly exam?

Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have cheated.

Your scores will be zero this time.

Also, write me a self-reflection!

3,000 words! It must be profound!

I didn't think that you are quite popular at your school.

You.

If your dad knows about it,

see how he'll sort you out at home.

- Xiaoju's mom. - Mr. Zhang.

Hello.

You go back to class.

Both of you.

Hello, Auntie.

Hello, Teacher.

Xiaoju, you can also head to class as well.

Shiyi. Lu Shiyi.

Thank you for testifying for me.

Who let you meddle in other people's business?

Well, it was wrong for you to cheat.

I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you.

Let's go, Baobao.

Don't mind that.

He is just that kind of person.

It'll get better after spending more time with him.

Maybe you were right in what you said.

Actually, he is not that bad of a person.

Let's go to class.

Uncle Lin, I'm back.

Xiaoju, is school over?

Yes, Sister.

You're getting prettier every time.

Sister!

Why haven't you gone home to eat yet?

I want to play some more.

Hurry and go back!

Have you had enough fun with the new game card?

You brought it, right?

Did they make up?

Lu Shiyi, at that time we made a deal.

We'll tutor each one respectively.

The one who wins can get the game card.

Accept your loss. Don't go back on your word.

Give it over.

If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have made this bet with you.

Did you guys actually do all of this for that thing?

You gone too far!

What went too far? What are you even saying?

- I saw it. - I did, too.

- So what? - Lu Shiyi!

You actually dare cheat?

I am done for!

See how I'll strip your skin off!

Dad, Dad.

Tell me exactly what happened.

You're even hiding now?

Are you going to say it?

Uncle Lu!

Uncle, fighting!

Stop right there!

Dad!
