WITHOUT YOU, THERE WOULDN'T BE A PAST,

AND I WOULDN'T BE HURT. KAREN MOK, "IF THERE WAS NO YOU"

Cancan.

Why are you here by yourself?

What's the matter?

Yating.

I really don't know what I should do.

Try again next time.

There's no point to be immersed in past failures.

Also...

It's very suffering.

I have tried really hard.

I really want to go to the US and be with Tianye.

But right now...

I don't know how to face him.

I'm at a loss.

Have you talked to him?

I don't want him to know.

I think

if you want to solve the problem,

you have to face it first.

But I don't want to let him down.

He has been waiting for me in the US for a long time.

Keep it up then.

Take good care of yourself. Don't catch a cold.

-Hello, Tianye? -Hello, Cancan?

Why are you calling me now?

Nothing.

I just miss you.

I miss you too.

Tianye.

My application was unsuccessful.

It's fine. There's still a chance.

-Next time, remember-- -There will be no next time.

This time, it was an accident.

Lately, I go to the study room very early in the morning.

I return to the dorm late at night.

I don't have much time to sleep.

I know it's hard on you now.

But it will get better when you come to the US.

Well, when I get there, you have to reward me.

I'll wait for you.

Lan.

Tianye, are you busy?

No, it was a friend of mine. He's fooling around with me.

What have you been doing lately?

Well...

Just like before, I have a lot of homework that I can't finish.

But I plan to form a new band with my friends.

We'll have some performances soon.

Really? That's great.

-Record your performances for me. -Sure.

How are you doing recently?

Pretty good.

The lady at the cafeteria has severe hand tremors now.

I can finish the food she gave me in a bite.

Tianye.

-Are you usually very busy? -Yes.

But we get the opportunity to be in touch with the top musicians.

Although it's tiring, I enjoyed it.

Cancan.

Hurry and come here.

I'll be waiting for you.

That's for sure.

I'm going to my class. Rest earlier.

All right. Bye.

Bye.

Girl, you're too careless.

You're not aware that the drip is about to finish.

If he hadn't discovered it in time, it would flow back.

Be careful next time.

Jiaze, why are you here?

I happened to be here to collect the medicine.

-I'll get your medicine for you. -Thank you.

Have you forgotten what I told you?

If you thank me again, there will be no more next time.

Thank you.

Cancan.

I wasn't peeking.

I didn't say anything.

Right, how are you feeling?

I have an inflamed throat.

The weather has been hot lately.

-Remember to drink more warm water. -Drink more warm water.

Is the test result out yet?

Why are you reading a book even in the hospital?

The result came out. I failed again.

Don't push yourself too hard if you are tired.

I'm not.

The GPA has been fixed.

I want to brush up on my language.

You don't have to worry about me.

As compared to Postgraduate Admission Test, I...

It's considered relaxing for me.

Why? Are you not satisfied?

Of course.

Why can't I do it?

Do I really have to admit that I'm really lousy?

That I will fail? That I'll never pass?

Cancan.

All the efforts, the things you have done,

and everything you have...

Don't negate yourself just because of one failure.

You must think that I'm a joke.

I always put up a face as though I'm doing just fine.

Now, I'm back to square one.

I'm like a clown.

What a joke.

It's your own choice whether you choose to hang on or give up.

No one will laugh at you.

I hope that you can like yourself better.

If you don't even like yourself,

wouldn't the people who like you seem like a joke?

Jiaze.

All right.

There are times where one would feel dejected,

and times where one wants to play dumb and feels that life is unfair.

You have those too?

Of course.

If it were me,

I would get in bed and have a good sleep.

I won't want anyone to know.

Help me keep the secret then.

That's a deal.

The Procter and Gamble.

I finally passed the Procter and Gamble's final interview.

All right. Here.

I know you've been recruited.

-Be careful. -Easy.

Cancan, let me.

What's the matter with her?

Yingying received the offer from Procter and Gamble today.

She is too happy and had too many drinks.

Cancan, you haven't eaten, right?

Have some.

We know you'll have an exam soon, so we didn't tell you.

-Thank you. -That was nothing.

Let us do it. Continue with your revision.

Get some water.

Cancan, how's your revision?

Not bad.

You can do it. Keep it up!

Right, Xie Xin, when are you going back?

My company needs me to go for training before work.

Probably next week.

I'll come back for the graduation photo. What about you?

Perhaps, two days later when my brother is free.

He'll help me pack things up.

All of you have found a job?

Yes, I got a job as a civil servant in my hometown.

I'll be leaving next week.

Xie Xin will become a public servant.

That's right. To serve the people.

Wenxin, what about you?

I'll stay in Beijing to be a language teacher.

It's a great thing to be a teacher.

Unfortunately, I won't be staying in Beijing.

If not, I'll send my kids to your school, and have you as their class teacher.

Sure. As long as you're not afraid that I'll be a bad influence to them.

I'm not.

Cancan, are we disturbing you?

My necklace is missing.

It was just here. Have you seen it?

Didn't you take the towel here just now?

Is this the one?

Thank you.

All right. Get back to your revision. You'll have an exam soon, right?

Keep it up! Don't forget us when you get to the US.

I won't.

The Procter and Gamble!

Hey, was the guy Chen Ying brought her boyfriend?

I don't know. But he's quite handsome.

She's good. She has both the career and boyfriend at the same time.

That's right.

What about you? Do you have anyone that you like?

You know it.

Are you also the same?

-Amazing. You look perfect now. -Really?

I'm relieved then.

Do you know why there are so many people?

Why?

I heard that this company offers really good benefits.

You get to travel every year.

So, many people want to work here.

Are you really not planning to find a job?

How would I have the time? I'm busy preparing for the exam.

It's stressful enough.

If so, focus on preparing for the exam then.

Stress is motivation and motivation can help you succeed.

Think of Tianye.

If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to hold on anymore.

Lan Tianye should be pleased to hear that.

Next.

It's my turn.

Keep it up!

Chief Editor.

Is there anything?

You did well in the columns lately.

There are many letters from the readers.

Collect them from me when you're free.

Thank you, Chief Editor.

Cancan, The Sound of Music is currently hiring.

This is an insider information.

Are you interested in working here?

Thank you, Chief Editor.

But I'm preparing for a very important exam lately.

I'm sorry.

The Sound of Music recruits only once every two years.

It's a rare opportunity.

And their pay is good.

I will text you the information later.

I'm aware.

-But-- -It's fine.

Get back to me after you think about it.

All right.

What's the matter?

The Chief Editor of The Sound of Music called.

He asked me to work in his company.

The benefits are good.

It's better than this company.

But I have to prepare for the exam.

Don't worry. You can surely make it.

Compared to working at a magazine publisher,

going to study in the US is more attractive for you, right?

You're right.

BEST WISHES FOR OUR STUDENTS AS THEY RECEIVE THE TOEFL RESULTS!

How is it? You can surely do it this time.

Actually, I'm still a little nervous.

Why are you nervous?

English is your strong suit.

I heard that it's very competitive this year.

The exam will start soon.

-Enter the hall as soon as possible. -Trust me. You're the best.

It really gets under my skin to see your arms.

It's so thin. How can I be friends with you?

It seems all right.

The thing that pisses me off is that I'm fat, but my friends are thin.

Here. Eat more.

This is fattening. You will gain two pounds from it.

You are so evil.

I'm just pulling your leg.

You've been working so hard.

You need to prepare for the exams.

It pains me to see you being so tired.

Challenges are what make life meaningful.

My mom said if you feel tired, it means that your life is going uphill.

What matters is to be happy in life.

Why must it be meaningful?

I think I'm happy when I have a stable job,

and someone to eat and drink with every day.

I think she is so right.

I like her this way. Someone with no aspirations.

It's really good.

Tang Xingyi, you are mocking me.

Am I?

I don't have any lofty ideals too.

I think things are great the way it is now.

Cancan, why don't you find a job?

I heard that a company is looking for a clerk.

The requirement is to write good articles. The benefits are good.

I think you can give it a try.

Why would she find a job? Cancan is going abroad.

Lan Tianye is still waiting for you in the US, right?

I forgot.

Hello, Tianye.

Hello, Cancan.

What's the matter? Why are you calling me?

I miss you.

Right, are the results out yet?

Well.

I haven't received the notice yet.

It's fine. I've asked my friend.

The offer from Berklee is delayed this year.

You'll surely be fine.

There's a new IKEA near my apartment.

When you get here, we'll go shopping together.

Tianye.

What have you been busy with lately?

Doing research and thesis.

I got used to it, so it doesn't feel that bad.

Do you know what's my biggest desire now?

What is it?

For you to get here.

Let me know once you get the offer, all right?

This CD has been with me for a really long time.

I'll give it to you now.

I hope it will keep you company, and you can take good care of yourself.

Live a simple and happy life.

Sir, I will go to Beijing to find you.

I will wait for you in Beijing.

Yating.

Why did you lock the cello?

Mr. Zhou, I am here today

to say goodbye to you.

I'm going to graduate soon and I have thought about it.

I don't want to pursue a career in music.

I'm going to find a job.

So I might not have the time for rehearsals and performances.

-Have you really made up your mind? -Yes.

It's a shame to hear that.

But I respect your decision.

I recalled when you first came to Beijing.

It seems like it was just yesterday.

But in the blink of an eye, you're going to graduate soon.

Mr. Zhou.

Will you come to my...

Our graduation ceremony?

Of course.

It's a deal.

It's a deal.

Su Cancan.

Ms. Li.

Is the admission result out yet?

-Yes. -How was it?

You have worked really hard. It shouldn't be a problem this time.

I might have to let you down.

Don't be discouraged.

The students from Luwen University can surely make it.

This is a study tour program in the US for two years.

It requires only the language scores.

The only thing is that it's more costly.

You can consider it if you want to go.

Hi, Dad.

Yes, my dear. Have you eaten?

Yes, how are you and Mom doing at home?

We're doing pretty good.

Is the admission result out yet?

How was it? Are you enrolled?

Dad.

What's the matter, Cancan?

The result is out.

I'm...

You're not enrolled?

It's fine, my dear.

You didn't succeed this time.

It's no big deal. We can try again next year.

As long as you want to study, we'll surely support you.

-Dad, I'm wondering-- -Su.

It's quite a shame to close down.

There's nothing I can do though.

-It's my daughter. -Dad, what happened to our store?

What did he mean by that?

It was nothing.

Don't keep me in the dark. What's going on?

The business isn't going well.

I'm planning to close it down.

Close it down?

What about you and Mom?

We have some savings.

Besides, after your mom and I retire, we'll get our pension funds.

We're not running short of money.

Don't worry about me and your mom.

Study well.

Don't worry about us.

Right, what were you trying to say just now?

Nothing.

Are you sure?

Yes, it's nothing.

Are you short of money?

Dad.

I have enough money.

I'm looking for a job now.

Are you not going to take the postgraduate exam?

I can work while studying.

I can take care of myself. Don't worry.

My daughter has grown up now.

Dad, I still have something to do.

That's all for now.

Have a good rest.

Tell me if you have any difficulties.

Cancan, why aren't you sleeping?

Am I disturbing you?

The exam is over. You're still working so hard?

Are you afraid your English isn't good when you get to the US?

All right. Rest earlier.

Please introduce yourself.

My name is Su Cancan.

A fresh graduate of Luwen University.

My major is linguistics.

From Luwen University?

Are you from the headquarters or the Division of Continuing Education?

The headquarters.

You have excellent grades in school.

You received a second-class scholarship.

You scored 637 points for CET6.

And your best TOEFL score is 110 points.

You were once a student leader.

Impressive.

Sir, Mr. Sun's assistant is here to deliver the contract.

Will you see her now?

Sure, send her in. It'll be over soon.

Please come in.

Sorry, I am a little busy.

Hi, my name is Tao Yating. I'm Mr. Sun's assistant.

This is the contract that we made two days ago.

Sir, please check if there is any problem.

All right.

Sorry, please take a seat.

Sir, why don't you get to your work first?

I see. It's fine. I'm just hiring an assistant.

It'll be over soon.

Did Mr. Sun get a big case lately? He must be swamped.

It's not too bad.

I'm so envious of Mr. Sun to have a good assistant like you.

Ms. Tao, please have some water.

Thank you.

I'm not feeling thirsty. She has been waiting for a long time.

Sir, why don't you get back to your work?

Why are you only looking for a job now?

I was preparing for the postgraduate exam.

You failed?

All right. I got it.

You may leave now. Wait for the news from HR.

Thank you.

Ms. Tao, I still have some questions about corporate asset legal issues.

Please explain it to me.

Qi, I can't take it anymore.

What's the matter? Why did you remove your shoes?

I really can't walk any further.

I'm telling you. The internship is really tough.

You really don't plan to go back to your hometown?

Your boyfriend works as a civil servant there.

If you don't go back, what about the two of you?

What else can I do? We can only break up then.

I want to stay in Beijing, but he wants to stay in his hometown.

I've waited for him for five years.

I can't wait any longer.

Why can't he come to Beijing?

Perhaps, everyone has the life that they want.

He thinks that his work in his hometown is more stable.

Quickly put on the shoes. We need to get going.

All right.

Hello, Cancan.

Tianye, what are you doing?

I just finished my assignment.

Cancan, I got the highest score this time.

Congratulations.

What's the matter?

Nothing, I'm just feeling a little tired.

That's how the graduation season is.

It will get better soon.

Right, let me tell you some good news.

The tutor who interviewed me takes me as his graduate student.

Really?

When you get here, have him as your advisor too.

He is very famous in the music industry.

After you get here, I'll be your senior.

Right, I moved to a new place.

The rent is not expensive. It has two bedrooms.

I'll let you take the room with more sunlight.

When are you coming?

Remember to send me your flight number.

I'll pick you up. I've bought a used car.

I just got a driving license. I'll take you for a ride.

-Tianye. -Cancan.

I miss you.

Let's break up.

Cancan, what are you doing?

Writing notes.

I used to write notes in junior high.

But since I came to college, I seldom read books.

That's a good habit.

It's just a habit.

What are you writing? Let me take a look.

"In the golden age of my life,

I had a lot of extravagant hopes.

I want to love, I want to eat,

and I also want to become a cloud in the sky in an instant."

This is The Golden Age by Wang Xiaobo.

I haven't read it. Is it good?

I'm not good at reviewing books.

How about this?

-I'll lend it to you when I'm done. -All right.

Did you just take a shower?

No.

Where is your necklace then?

Cancan.

Cancan, where are you going?

Tianye.

I think I saw

something disappeared forever along with the necklace

at that moment.
