Thank you.

Are you done with the registration?

Yes. Which building are you staying in?

Building 10.

It's fine. I can carry those.

This one.

Hi, my name is Su Cancan.

C-A-N, Can.

This is my classmate from high school.

Hello, my name is Xie Xin.

X-I-N, Xin.

My name is Chen Ying.

Y-I-N-G, Ying.

We're going to be roommates.

-I hope we'll get along. -Yes.

CHEN YING, XIE XIN SU CANCAN, WENXIN

This one is mine.

Great, I get the bottom bunk.

My mom was worried I'd fall from the top bunk.

You should still be careful.

Yes, sir.

I have some heatstroke medicine.

-I'll give you some later. -Okay.

You must be Wenxin.

-Hello, my name is Su Cancan. -Hello.

Lan Tianye is at Baichuan University. It's right next door.

Have you seen him yet?

No.

I haven't seen him since I got to Beijing.

So, after your military training session,

everyone from the radio station should get together.

Cancan, you don't need to walk with me.

Thank you.

What for?

Give me your hand.

Here you go. My debt is cleared.

Thanks.

Are you downloading songs? Can you help me too?

Sure. What would you like?

Marcus Miller's M2

and Victor Wooten's Live in America.

Do you play bass?

How do you know?

I play guitar.

I know a little about bass.

I couldn't tell.

-Are you any good? -Not bad.

-We can play together someday. -Sure.

What do you usually listen to?

Me? Westlife.

Linkin Park.

More rock and roll stuff.

Give me your USB disk.

I thought that apart from Pei Yan,

everyone in this school is a nerd.

Pei Yan?

He's the superstar of our school.

He does rock and roll stuff too.

He has a band called...

INS.

They won a prize at the National College Music Festival.

I heard that a music company likes them.

They're going to release an album soon. Not sure if it's true.

All done.

You play this game too?

Yes.

-Are you any good? -Not bad.

Guitar players have quick fingers.

Help me out and join my team tonight.

No problem.

Military training is finally over.

I'm starving.

Hey, you know what?

I was just eating in there

and there was a bug in my food!

It was this big!

That's nothing.

Last time, I ordered Three Treasure Dumplings.

But there were potatoes and peppers inside them.

I told the cafeteria lady about it.

Guess what she told me?

That she made a mistake?

No, that the three treasures were all vegetables!

Are all university cafeterias like this?

No, I heard that Baichuan University

-has good food. -Really?

We should go try it some time.

Buy more airtime for a free phone!

Come to M-zone!

What's that?

Buy more airtime for a free phone! Come to M-zone!

Buy more airtime for a free phone?

Who's going?

-Me! Come on, Wenxin. -Buy more airtime

-We'll go too. -for a free phone.

Come to M-zone!

Your school is better.

You have military training on campus.

At my school,

we have to do it in the mountains.

Both boys and girls have to sleep on the ground.

We got up at five o'clock and trained the whole day.

Look at these bruises. They are like Oreo cookies!

Meili.

Do you miss home?

I didn't when I first got here.

Everything was exciting and fun.

But I really missed home during the military training.

I was so sad when I heard my parents' voices over the phone.

Me too.

But when I think of the dreams I had in high school,

I feel motivated and hopeful again.

I'm closer to my dreams every day.

Classes are starting soon.

I must work hard!

What about Lan Tianye?

I haven't heard from him lately.

Lan Tianye?

INTERNET CAFE

Hurry up! Kill that piece of garbage!

Nice job.

When are we getting up tomorrow?

Around 7 a.m.

How about 6:30 a.m.?

No, that's too early.

The classroom isn't that far.

We should get more sleep.

The first class tomorrow will be in the lecture hall.

Didn't you listen to our seniors?

You have to fight for a seat there.

Yes, the liberal arts college admitted more students this year.

If you get there late, you'll have to stand.

Really?

I'll go to bed now. We have to get up early.

Let's all go to sleep.

Good night.

Good night.

Get up.

One more minute.

Get up.

Get up.

Hey, don't slack off.

Help me finish him.

I got to go.

Hey, wait!

I'm sorry. This seat is taken.

Sorry about that.

Over here. Hurry up.

Thanks, Cancan.

Someone almost took your seat.

There are so many people today.

Hello, students.

This is our first class.

Now, I'm going to do a roll call.

-Chen Jing. -Here.

-Zhang Tao. -Here.

-Lan Tianye. -Here.

Hello?

Don't you have my number?

Lan Tianye?

Where did you get my number?

I got it from your parents.

You didn't give me your number.

You could have asked.

All right. I'll save it later.

Later?

Right now. I'll do it right now.

You didn't tell me you have a new phone.

I've been busy because it's the beginning of the semester.

I have three literary reviews to turn in this week.

Lan Tianye?

Xiao Ye?

I told you not to call me that.

So, the guys from the radio station

want to get together.

Come to Hunt on Saturday.

What is Hunt?

Hunt Western Restaurant.

A western restaurant? Are we having steak?

I've never had it before.

Are you coming?

Of course.

Cancan, see you later.

Okay, my friend will be here soon. Bye.

-Bye. -Bye.

LEVEL FOUR VOCABULARY

Our teacher said

we should start memorizing the words from the last page.

Why?

Look.

The first word is "abandon."

You'd just abandon your effort after that.

Didn't you say our cafeteria sucks? Why are you here?

You didn't come to Baichuan to see me.

I'm not coming here again.

What have you been up to?

Studying hard every day.

I'm telling you.

We have placement tests, simulation tests,

midterms, finals,

and all kinds of review tests.

I want to get a scholarship and buy my dad a new phone.

Why am I studying harder now than I was in grade 12?

Oh, Cancan, you're such a good girl.

What about you?

Me?

I've been busy.

Drawing?

No.

What have you been doing then?

LESLIE CHEUNG'S ALBUM, I AM WHAT I AM

LESLIE CHEUNG'S ALBUM, I AM WHAT I AM

Studying hard.

Cancan.

I just saw that your school's radio station is recruiting.

Are you going?

How could I have time? I'm busy studying.

I'm also the committee of literature and arts.

I didn't know that.

Come. Sing a song for me.

Stop it.

Meili, have you heard of Hunt?

Yes, of course.

The radio station's gathering this Saturday

-will be held there. -Really?

Have you guys been to Hunt?

Yes. My brother took me there once.

I've been there too.

I held my fork and knife with the wrong hands.

It was so embarrassing.

Cancan, are you going on a date?

No, it's just a get-together with some high school friends.

Will the handsome guy who came here with you

on the first day of school be there?

Yes, tell us.

Are you dating him?

That's impossible.

He was the most handsome guy in our high school.

He would never like me.

He's very nice to you.

We're just friends.

Everyone meets three people in their life.

The guy who loves you the most, the guy you love the most,

and the guy who will be with you for the rest of your life.

They won't be the same person.

Don't be sad, Cancan.

There are lots of fish in the sea.

There are lots of boys at Baichuan University next door.

There are nice boys at our school too.

Today, at the student union, I saw a really handsome senior.

My brother told me

the most dangerous things are fire, thieves, and seniors.

HOLD FORK WITH LEFT HAND HOLD KNIFE WITH RIGHT HAND

Hi, beautiful.

Can you send me the original photo

that you posted in Baidu Tieba?

Thanks.

So, do you like Leslie Cheung too? What a coincidence.

Which movie do you like?

I like Rouge.

I like Farewell My Concubine.

I'm home.

You're home. Let's eat now.

Yes.

Gosh, I'm really hungry.

Cancan, it's time to eat.

I forgot again. Let's eat.

Cancan is on her own over there.

I wonder how she's doing.

Su Cancan.

-Lan Tianye! You cut your hair. -You cut your hair.

What do you think? Does it look cool?

Does it look beautiful? Pretty?

It looks hideous.

Did you grow taller?

Not everyone is short like you.

This height is cute for girls.

Hunt is right around here.

I need to get some things. I'll head over soon.

Let's go together.

I need to get something else. You can go.

I thought you're all done.

You're asking too much.

See you then. Bye.

Bye.

Cancan, over here.

Cancan, sit here.

Where's Tao Yating and Lan Tianye?

Why are they late?

Tao Yating said she'd be late. She told us to start without her.

She has a report to turn in.

I just saw Lan Tianye outside.

He was being mysterious about buying something.

You guys are so busy.

Law majors are all like that.

I heard they have to memorize all their textbooks.

That's horrible.

Tianye.

What did you buy?

Something for you.

What is it?

What are you two up to?

Let me see.

It's nothing.

-Here are some menus. -Thank you.

I'd like some pasta.

I want a black pepper steak.

The filet looks good too.

I'll stick to black pepper steak.

What should I do? I want to have both.

One black pepper steak, one filet.

Wait. I was just kidding.

I can't finish both.

You're so annoying.

It's okay. We'll have one each.

I'll share half with you.

Okay.

How would you like your steak?

Medium rare.

What?

This apple juice is delicious. Do you want to try it?

Can I get some hot water?

I thought you only drink coke.

You've changed?

I know it.

It's because coke is like spermicide.

You're a girl. Why would you say that?

Thanks.

What about us?

You have hands.

Why are you only helping Su Cancan?

Because I want to.

Yating?

Yating, you've changed so much.

How?

I can't put my finger on it.

I just think your personality has completely changed.

Meili, what do you think?

I'm so mad.

Why are you the only one who's getting prettier?

Eat more vegetables.

Let's go.

You can go. I need to eat as much as I can.

-Okay. Come on. -See you.

Be careful.

Why did you get so much?

Give it to me.

Look how clumsy you are.

I told you not to get so much, but you still do.

Look what has happened. Are you going to clean it?

I didn't mean to.

Your shoes are dirty.

I'll help you clean them.

I'll go with her.

What's wrong?

If you don't seize your opportunity,

you might lose it.

You're right.

Your food is all here. Please enjoy.

Let me do it for you.

Thanks.

Hey, how much do you guys spend every week?

I feel like I haven't bought anything, but I've spent 200 yuan already.

I called my mom today

and she scolded me for spending too much.

That sounds normal. I've never kept track.

Prices in Beijing are much higher.

Cancan, how did your get-together go?

I heard that it's a nice restaurant.

It was pretty nice.

The semester has started for a while, but we haven't had a roommate dinner yet.

Do you want to have one someday?

Yes.

Dear dorm supervisor,

you finally remember we should have a roommate dinner.

I want to have a barbecue.

Ever since I came to Beijing,

I haven't had chili in a while.

I miss barbecue and hot pot.

Sure, we'll have a barbecue together.

Let's wait until my period is over.

I saw someone today.

Who?

The person I like.

We used to be neighbors.

Then, he moved away.

I thought I'd never see him again.

I received an invitation from an orchestra in Beijing

called North of the Star Symphony Orchestra.

What a coincidence!

Right, I feel the same way.

INTERNET CAFE

ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS IX

WORLD OF WARCRAFT

Wow, where did you find it?

I couldn't find it online.

Who do you like the most in Chinese Paladin 3?

Chong Lou is so handsome.

Zixuan, what else do you play other than Chinese Paladin 3?

Do you play any online games?

I play World of Warcraft sometimes.

Let's play together. What's your profession?

I'm a Priest.

Add me as your friend.

Are you in Alliance or Horde?

Horde. What about you?

Alliance.

What are you doing?

A computer?

Nice. It looks really new.

We can take turns using it.

You're so nice.

Hey, let's go eat something together this afternoon.

As a celebration.

-Yes. -Sure. Let's get Wenxin too.

Let's have a barbecue.

I want 20 mutton skewers.

Add some roasted garlic.

Roasted garlic? Is that edible?

I don't know. Let's try it.

It's the specialty here.

It's not bad.

You shouldn't be biased against it.

Roasted eggplant.

I want corn.

And some ham sausages.

Okay.

What else do you guys want?

Hello?

Lan Tianye?

Come out. I'll treat you to some food.

Lan Tianye is treating me to food?

Tell me. What's your real intention?

Are you coming or not?

I'm having barbecue with my roommates. Would you like to come over?

-What's the address? -I'll send it.

This is delicious.

Thanks.

You're here.

Let me introduce you.

These are my roommates.

This is Lan Tianye. He was my deskmate in high school.

What would you like to eat?

Let's finish this first.

Why does the corn look like that?

What should it be like?

Shouldn't it be strung as kernels?

I guess there's a difference between the north and the south.

Try it. You might like it.

Are you really just classmates?

Yes. Which high school did you go to?

Your classmates are all so handsome.

Who else have you met?

It was Lin Jiaze. He came to help me move stuff last time.

Why are you so silly?

It's hot. You should wait for a while before eating it, okay?

I didn't mean to do that.

I know.

You seem really close.

Yes, are you dating?

Of course not. We're buddies.

We helped to found the radio station in high school.

We're really close friends.

Including the guy who helped you with your stuff?

Yes.

I'm so jealous.

All my high school classmates stayed in Sichuan.

I can only see them at class reunions now.

I'm even unluckier.

My deskmate started dating the prettiest girl in school this summer.

Your deskmates were all boys?

-My deskmate was a girl. -"My deskmate"?

Yes. Best friends.

Keep eating.

MUTTON SKEWERS

Look at you.

Thanks. How much was it?

Don't worry about it. My treat.

Sorry about the trouble she causes.

I don't cause trouble.

You don't?

You guys can go. I'll be back later.

You can stay out late. It's okay.

But...

What?

I can't let you pay.

You stayed behind for this?

Yes.

I said it's my treat.

But you shouldn't do that. People might misunderstand.

Jiaze went to your room before.

Yes.

You didn't worry about that, but you worry about us?

It's different.

I'm not taking your money.

Okay, I'll treat you next time.

Thank you.

The same ringtone...

Hello?

Is this your phone?

I've never watched a live band performance.

Lan Tianye, maybe you could be in a band.

I think you sing better than that lead singer.

Boring.

Boring? You should form a band.

You can compose and I can write lyrics.

We'll be an original band, what do you think?

Try it.

Lan Tianye, do you believe in miracles?

What kind of miracle?

Under your guidance,

our band will become so popular that the whole universe will know us.

I'm serious!

There really are miracles.

Sorry that I kept you waiting.

Tao Yating?

Mr. Zhou?
