Original subtitles

I love your eyes, your eyelashes Your aloofness

I love your dimples The corner of your mouth, your smile

I love you, the whole world knows They mock me, knock it out

I will continue to do so Please be ready for it

I love your shirt Your fingers, your scent

I want to be your coat Your gloves, your heartbeat

I love you, the whole world knows It's torture, don't lose hope

How patient am I, please wait and see

Loving you in every moment, every second

Loving you everywhere, in every corner

Loving you has become a force of habit

How much do I love you, I have no idea

Loving you has made rainy days shine

Loving you has made snowy days warm

Loving you has become a religion That can't be easily renounced

How much do I love you?

You will know

How much is this watch?

1300 yuan.

The prize for hurdling is a watch.

What about women's hurdling?

Chen Xiaoxi and Lin Jingxiao.

Fair competition.

Swing your legs and keep the center of gravity low.

Maintain the balance of your body.

Are you a spy sent by Lin Jingxiao?

Lin Jingxiao wouldn't pick me as her spy.

Is she really going to fight me for the watch?

Boss said she's waiting for you on the track field.

Why is she waiting for me?

I'm going home.

Tell you what, I'll do a preliminary dressing on it.

Take a break from running for a few days.

- Okay. - No, Dr. Li!

Lin Jingxiao wants to give her dad the watch as a gift.

That's why she's competing.

I'm literally giving you "a leg up" this time.

You better perform well.

Help Chen Xiaoxi a little!

She wants to win the watch to give it to you as your birthday gift.

Here you go.

DON'T BE SAD, LIN JINGXIAO. I'LL SAVE UP AND BUY YOUR DAD A WATCH.

EPISODE 5 SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER

I have vowed never to speak to you again.

You're already badly hurt,

and you're still sulking?

Don't do that!

All the noble ladies and angelic creatures

are nothing compared to you!

That's right! Stupid Li Wei!

She's nothing compared to me!

Dad? You are home?

Yes.

Are you watching TV?

Dad, do you want some watermelon?

No, I'm fine.

Hey! You should go do your homework.

Sure.

Look at my new style.

Check it out!

School uniform fitted yesterday.

By Italian master designer, How Are You.

Check it out! By China's breakout designer, Chen Xiaoxi!

You win.

Quiet down!

News alert! Third period has changed from music to English.

Get ready for class.

What's going on?

We're not seniors.

Why are they hijacking our music classes?

No idea.

I hear our school is less strict in this regard.

Other schools implement class substitution much earlier.

That's stifling youth creativity.

That could hinder the students' ability to explore their interests and skills!

Well said, Education Minister.

I could hear your groans from the hallway!

Did you tell them about the English class?

I did.

We'll have music class as usual.

We won't change it to English.

I have another announcement.

This week, the school will hold a drama competition.

The competition begins on Friday.

But this Thursday,

we'll have a showdown to pick the best group as representatives.

I still have the same warning for you:

"Don't lose the forest for the trees."

If I can't get into college,

I'll open a stationery-bookstore, too.

I'll sell stationery as a front,

and run an underground paid dating service for students.

I'll just stand around,

count my money,

and watch kids fall in love.

Wonderful!

You should solve your problem first.

What's the status on Jiang Chen?

The same.

My strategy is: dripping water wears away stone.

Before your water can get through,

someone will have removed the stone already!

Who? Who would dare move my stone?

Say, for instance,

I heard Li Wei invited Jiang Chen to perform Thunderstorm with her.

He won't agree to it.

He's so snobby.

You never know!

Perhaps he will agree to it,

if Li Wei begs him softly.

What should I do?

What do you think?

You should do what she does and beg him, too!

Pick a scene from something like Romance in the Rain.

Shuhuang, don't move!

I will rush toward you.

TV SHOWS JINGXIAO WOULD LIKE

2. METEOR GARDEN

DAOMING SI, ME SHANCAI, JINGXIAO

Don't bother hiding it!

You think you can play Daoming Si?

Lin Jingxiao is more domineering than you.

She can play the boy and I the girl.

Stop your futile struggles.

Join our group.

Why should I?

Because we have Lin Jingxiao.

Director, I'm at your bidding.

Our group is still short one person.

Jiang Chen.

You're in luck!

I don't believe in luck.

Can you do me a favor?

Get to the point.

We're doing a play.

Right now, there's me, Chen Xiaoxi, and Lin Jingxiao.

The three of us are in a group.

You're the fourth element. Are you in?

You?

And you?

No, thanks.

Don't turn us down just yet.

Our play...

is big production with a big cast!

A remake of a classic!

You'll be an overnight sensation!

Which piece are you performing?

Director?

What are we performing?

Um...

We're doing...

the summer blockbuster TV show,

My Fair Princess.

Its popularity has withstood the test of time.

A classic.

Fantastic.

So you'll join us, Jiang Chen?

Here. Let me fill you in.

Here's the thing.

After thorough consideration,

our group has decided to let you play the part of Erkang.

No! Sorry to interrupt.

Why does he get to play Erkang?

Because I'm playing Ziwei.

I'm the director. I get to play whoever I want!

Fine, Director! Fine!

On top of that, seeing how I'm so gentle and kind,

aren't I the spitting image of Ziwei?

Let's carry on.

Erkang has this signature gesture.

"Don't go, Ziwei!"

Like this.

His longing is shown through his nostrils.

Lu Yang, show him.

Like this. Got it?

Count me out.

Jiang Chen, come on!

Sorry about that, Jiang Chen.

Terribly sorry.

Okay. Let me help you.

Don't help me!

Don't help me!

Don't help me!

I'll lose my sight!

I can't let you help me forever!

I will hate myself for being so helpless.

Look at the dramatic intensity!

MY FAIR PRINCESS

MY FAIR PRINCESS

Erkang.

Here's your script.

Stop giving me the script.

Don't you touch my boss!

Director.

I want to talk to you,

about the scene I want to do.

Which scene do you want to do?

Breaking through enemy lines to rescue the damsel in distress!

"Breaking through enemy lines"?

We don't have crowd actors.

I've already picked your scene.

Your scene is

Princess Huanzhu and Yongqi riding horses on a grass field,

and rolling on the grass.

Rolling on the grass? That's so de-masculinizing!

I quit. Good luck on the play.

Don't touch me.

There is a kissing scene.

Great pick!

Lin Jingxiao.

Hey!

When we do the scene where Prince Yongqi and Princess Huanzhu...

No.

Horse riding on a grass field! Awesome stuff!

Horse riding on a grass field!

We'll move our bikes onto the stage,

and pretend they're horses.

Look at her! She's full of ideas!

I'll take the lead.

Back to your seat.

Director, you know, I'm very enthusiastic about our play.

I will devote 120 percent of myself to make it happen.

I just have one request.

Can you make our scene last a bit longer?

You know.

Let's talk some other time.

Sure.

Dr. Li.

- Your ankle's still hurting? - Yes.

Maybe you can take a look at it?

Sure.

Ouch.

That's odd.

By the looks of it,

you should be fully recovered.

But it hurts!

It feels like I'm walking on needles.

Maybe you can give me some more medicine?

The same kind will do.

If you're still in pain,

it means the medicine may not work on you.

Why don't I find you something else?

Try these two.

What's wrong?

Dr. Li, my name is Lin Jingxiao.

I know, it's on your medical file.

Try these two types of medicine.

If the pain is tolerable,

try not to use the medicine.

By the way, Dr. Li...

Here's your shirt back.

Okay.

- I'll leave it here. - Sure.

Dr. Li, I should go. Thanks.

Bye-bye.

You feel like walking on needles?

Are you a mermaid or something?

Chen Xiaoxi,

I can explain!

Don't touch me.

I don't know you that well.

Yes, you know me very well!

I can't believe I tell you everything!

And you?

You keep everything from me!

If you do that again, we're not BFFs anymore!

I'll tell you, okay?

You volunteered!

I didn't force you.

I can't wait to tell you all about it!

Remember how I climbed the wall and ditched school after the sports meet?

Dr. Li, I need to head out for a bit.

You're not going to do something bad, are you?

Definitely not!

I swear!

Your pant leg is torn.

Use this.

Wow!

How romantic!

If Jiang Chen gave me a shirt like that,

I'd frame it and hang it on the wall!

Now that you mention it,

I feel a bit like a fawning schoolgirl.

That's the prelude to falling in love.

Anyway, you can't tell anyone!

If you do, I'll tell the entire school you have a crush on Jiang Chen.

We'll go down together!

Fine.

Let's go practice our lines.

Are you sure you want to do My Fairy Princess?

Li Wei is doing Thunderstorm.

You're doing My Fair Princess?

They are not even in the same league.

In any event,

have you gotten Jiang Chen's commitment?

They're serious, so we'll be funny.

We each have our markets.

As for Jiang Chen,

even if he doesn't join us,

I don't think he'd go with Li Wei.

In any case, no one can have him!

Don't help me!

If one day, I'm blind,

I don't want you to help me all the time,

because I will hate myself for being so helpless.

Erkang!

Erkang, is that you? Erkang?

No.

Who are you?

Why do you sound exactly like my Erkang?

What did you do to my Erkang?

I killed him.

Won't you be my prince instead?

Dream on.

Watch where you're going!

Ziwei!

You're blind!

Ziwei is faking an accident!

No, she isn't!

- Can you move, Ziwei? - Go away...

- Fine, I'll move! - Stop fooling around.

Come on. Quiet down.

Hurry up and get back to your seats.

You all seem to be enthusiastic about the drama competition.

After making a round, though,

can you really compete on the same level as other classes?

I'll tell you what!

Jiang Chen,

Li Wei,

Lin Jingxiao,

Qiao Lu,

and Wang Songsong.

You guys are presentable,

and you do well in school.

Ms. Liu, what about me?

Put your hand down.

The five of you, form a group and start rehearsing.

The rest of you can form your own groups.

On Thursday, we will have a showdown to pick our representatives.

Erkang!

Are you really going to join Li Wei's group?

Jiang Chen,

let's talk about role assignment in a little bit, shall we?

If you think you can do better, why don't you throw your hat in the ring?

I will, then!

I'll be over in a bit.

Erkang!

Are you really going to abandon me, a poor, blind girl?

Won't you be my eyes anymore?

I'll do it.

Just eat.

It doesn't matter who does it.

You're blind anyway.

Keep an eye on the two of them.

Jingxiao.

Boss!

You've still got me, right?

You can train me.

Why don't the three of us form a group?

Like Three's Company?

And The Three Musketeers?

It's no use channeling the musketeers.

We're now missing Princess Huanzhu.

My Princess Huanzhu.

I've got an idea!

Wait for me, Princess Huanzhu!

Help me practice my lines!

Lu Yang, I'm not your Princess Huanzhu!

I'm busy anyway.

Go play with your new partner.

Look at you! You're jealous again!

My love for her is nowhere near as deep as my love for you.

In any event,

you will be my Princess Huanzhu sooner or later.

Lu Yang,

you two make a great couple!

Where are you going?

To the doctor's!

Dr. Li, I think I left a book here last time?

Did you happen to see it?

Is this it?

Yes, that's right!

Norton's Book of Planets.

You're into astronomy?

Um...

Dr. Li--

Royal Doctor!

I mean, Dr. Li.

What brings you here?

We're classmates.

You sprained your ankle as well?

No.

I, um...

I've had heart problems, since I was a kid.

It's very serious.

I was rushed to the hospital many times in middle school.

Um...

Dr. Li, I should get going.

Ping, come here.

Your biological mother didn't die.

She is alive.

Not her!

Tell me, Father. It can't be her!

Ping!

Mother!

I never thought it'd be like this, Ping.

Chen Xiaoxi,

stop spying on us!

I have no interest in spying on your incestuous play.

What incestuous play?

You've never read Thunderstorm?

You're so uncultured!

Enough! Let's carry on.

Let's practice your lines!

Director.

I can't do this scene.

What's the matter?

Where's my kissing scene?

Didn't we have an agreement?

Once we get past the first round,

you'll still play Prince Yongqi.

Princess Huanzhu is waiting for you!

Exactly!

Let me prepare myself mentally,

and get into character.

Why bother? You're playing yourself.

In this scene,

I've been stabbed, and I'm dying.

So I'm leaving you,

Jinsuo, in his care.

No, Miss, I won't marry him!

Stop making up subplots for yourself!

Your boss is the one who loves to add subplots!

First she's blind, now she's been stabbed!

- That's called good acting! - That's right!

You're just scheming!

You don't want me to have Erkang!

You're thinking about Erkang, when my boss is dying?

- She's just feeble! - Stop it, you two!

The knife is still in me!

- Shut up! - Shut up!

I quit!

Your heart was never in it!

Wu Bosong!

Wu Bosong, I--

What lousy comrades I have!

Whenever I think about Jiang Chen and Li Wei as lovers in the play,

I can't help but want to sigh.

Jiang Chen must be very tortured.

It's like an arranged marriage!

No, I have to help him.

You? Help him?

How will you help him?

I will defeat them, represent our class in the competition,

and liberate Jiang Chen!

It'd be easier if you came to me.

I play Jiang Chen's mom.

Arranged marriages are arranged by the parents.

I'll arrange your marriage!

Who says arranged marriage is bad?

I just love it!

What an attitude!

Erkang! Wait for me!

I'm coming to rescue you!

Where are you going?

I'm getting a light bulb.

Your light bulb went out?

Why else would I buy a light bulb? To eat?

That means your place is pitch black right now?

Are you afraid?

Do you want me to keep you company?

I'd be more scared with you around.

How's your play adaptation going?

We have a new actor, Wu Bosong.

Lu Yang plays the maid, Jinsuo.

The adaptation is amazing!

We may actually beat you.

If you get eliminated from the competition,

I can consider letting you join our group.

Thanks, Director Chen, but no, thanks.

Who are you?

My child forgot his medicine in my car.

I need to give him the medicine.

I'll be quick about it.

No outside persons allowed. It's school policy.

My child's condition is serious.

The medicine is taken with every meal!

He can't afford to skip his medicine.

Please, make an exception for me.

No.

What should I do?

Excuse me!

Can I ask you something?

Do you know Class Eight's Lu Yang?

I do. He's my classmate.

I'm Lu Yang's dad.

He left his medicine in my car.

The security guard won't let me in.

Do you mind taking it to him?

- No problem, give it to me. - Thank you, young lady.

Sure thing!

See you.

- Thanks. - Sure!

Lu Yang would grumble, if he found out.

HEART-PROTECTING GRANULES, MUSK PILL

I've had heart problems,

since I was a kid.

It's very serious.

I ran into your dad at the front gate. He wanted me to give you this.

What are you eating, Lu Yang?

Give me some!

All you ever do is eat!

Jinsuo, save your lady!

Lin Jingxiao, put some muscle into it!

Didn't you want me to help you with your lines?

Do you still want to do that?

Yes.

Which scene?

This one.

Erkang?

Jinsuo, don't take it the wrong way.

You are so adorable. So perfect.

How can I let you be my...

Concubine?

Master Erkang,

don't you say that.

If you don't stop,

I'll really want to dig a hole and hide in it.

Leave me out of it.

Don't go, Master Erkang!

I'm willing to be your concubine!

Boss,

we haven't rehearsed the play today. Why don't we rehearse some more?

I'm confident in my acting.

As for you, not so much.

I agree.

It's mainly because I can't control my facial expression.

And I think I don't show enough emotion when I deliver my lines.

Maybe it's because Erkang's character differs a lot from my own experiences.

Are you going into showbiz?

Some athletes do aspire to be in showbiz,

but not me.

Because...

I prefer being your underling!

Never mind, then.

But if we're going to rehearse the play,

we have to find a place.

Let me show you a place. Come on!

Slow down!

Here we are.

LOCKED THE DOOR?

TURNED OFF THE GAS?

BROUGHT YOUR CELLPHONE WITH YOU?

My grandma is senile.

Sometimes her memory is good, sometimes not.

The note is a reminder for her.

Grandma, I'm home!

- Hi, Granny! - You must be Bosong's classmate?

You haven't eaten, have you?

I'll make dinner for you.

Okay.

Where are your parents?

My mom is looking after her mother in another city.

My dad--

Aren't we here to work on our lines? Where's the script?

Grandma!

Son!

You're back!

Did you bring Bosong back?

Did you quarrel with Bosong again?

Stop nagging him all the time.

Bosong is a good boy.

I won't nag him anymore.

That's better.

How much hatred can there be between a father and a son?

He may not say it,

but he cares a lot.

The other day, when you didn't come back,

he waited for you at the table for two hours!

It was only an hour.

You had to make him a swimmer.

Poor boy! He's so young!

He doesn't have friends,

or classmates to hang out with.

Granny, I'm Bosong's classmate.

We're competing in the drama competition together.

Really?

That's right!

Wu Bosong is very popular at school!

Many kids fight over him!

That's good. You should play nicely!

Bosong is a hard-working kid.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Has your grandma ever failed to recognize you before?

No.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah.

Maybe it's better this way.

She's always worried about me and my dad fighting.

Now she doesn't remember anything,

and we can tell her white lies.

It's nice.

You don't get along with your dad?

To me, he's always forcing me to swim.

I was scared of water when I was six. He pushed me into the water anyway.

He's pushed me from the junior team,

to the municipal swim team,

then to the provincial team.

He doesn't care if I don't like it.

Do you like swimming?

I don't know.

It's all right.

Look at me! I don't know anything.

But I'm still a super adorable girl!

What are you doing?

I changed the light bulb and realized the light bulb isn't the problem.

Can you fix it?

Do you want to get a handyman?

Unlike you, I actually learned something from physics class.

All right. I should get going.

Girls shouldn't return home alone so late at night.

I didn't come back alone.

Wu Bosong walked me to the alleyway.

Have you memorized the lines?

No.

It's too hard.

Jiang Chen?

Is this it?

IN LOVE WITH CURVE WRECKER

Yes.

Thank you, everyone!

What a fabulous performance!

Well prepared!

Next!

MY FAIR PRINCESS

This scene

is about Ziwei risking her life to save someone else.

She saves...

the emperor, ruler of the land!

Now that she's been stabbed,

she is marrying her most important partner in life,

Jinsuo, to Erkang.

Erkang,

you have to promise me something.

Sure. What is it?

If anything happens to me,

I'll leave Jinsuo in your care.

Take good care of Jinsuo for me.

I will.

Okay.

Please enjoy the pulling of the knife.

In this next scene,

Ziwei tells Jinsuo,

she's arranged Jinsuo's marriage for her.

The man has a house, a horse carriage, and household registration in Beijing.

He's a government employee.

Sis!

What's going on?

At that time, I thought I was going to die.

I just wanted to make sure you'd be taken care of.

If I can't marry Erkang,

I have already promised you to him.

You must stay with him.

"If you can't marry him"?

Don't you say that!

I...

I won't steal Erkang from you!

I will find my own happiness.

Stick to the script. Hands off!

All right. That's enough.

Enough!

End scene!

That was good!

Good...

All right, everyone.

It's obvious, you put in a lot of effort into the drama competition.

As for which group is the winner,

I'm sure everyone can tell.

Jiang Chen,

I think your group was well prepared.

Your performance was excellent.

I'm sure you will make our class proud.

Chen Xiaoxi, your group...

was very funny.

It's not the right tone for the competition, though.

Jiang Chen, you guys should work hard,

and get good results for our class.

Good, very good!

What's wrong, Boss?

You didn't have fun earlier?

I didn't do it to have fun.

I was very serious, okay?

Forget it.

I just wasn't good enough. I can't blame anyone.

But I went all out this time!

Look at my shirt.

My mom will kill me when I get home.

Wait here.

Be careful!

Don't worry, Boss. I'll be right back.

"Until mountains lose their peaks, sky and earth become one..."

Wait for Erkang?

How do you know Ziwei's line?

You want to be in our group, don't you?

No.

Sit!

I knew you didn't want to be in the competition.

So I thought,

if I got picked, you wouldn't need to compete.

But now you're in the competition,

you should do your best.

After all, in life,

we all have to do things we don't want to do.

You are leaving already?

You're not leaving?

Wu Bosong wants me to wait for him.

Then wait here.

Here you go.

What's this?

This is what my grandma uses to wash my dirty clothes.

It's super clean.

Normally, wouldn't you just buy a new shirt instead?

Well, wait here.

Just kidding.

For the drama competition,

in order to ensure your fellow students can rehearse without any worry,

I've decided to assign other students to cover the logistics.

Wang Dazhuang, you're in charge of props.

Liao Chenxuan?

Here.

You're in charge of the audio.

- Chen Xiaoxi? - Here.

You're in charge of recording sound effects like thunder.

Just like that.

Okay, so it's settled.

When I count down to one, hit record.

Three, two, one!

How is it?

It won't do.

The thunder should reflect the mood of the scene.

There should be clanging thunder and muted thunder.

That way, it's more emotive.

Okay.

Shake some emotive thunder for me.

One, two, three.

Stop.

- It's no good! - Give it a shot.

How is it?

It's no good.

I quit!

Let's try again!

Why take it so seriously?

Just get it over with!

You don't get it.

I have to do a good job,

so he'll know, I'm not useless at everything.

You'll do anything for love.

Let's try again.

I'll shake it.

This side is full. Let's flip it.

Flip it over.

Good to go.

Chen Xiaoxi!

Are you coming to the auditorium?

No, I have a swim meet.

Why did you come this way, then?

I came to give you this.

Why does this guy buy whatever I ask of him?

Make way.

Coming through.

Easy does it.

Watch it!

Are you okay, Xiaoxi?

I'm fine.

Why are you carrying a bowl of water?

Ms. Liu put me in charge of props.

There's got to be some rain in Thunderstorm, right?

So you're pouring a bowl of water onto the stage?

Come on! Let's go. It's stage time.

Hurry up. Move it!

We're up next!

Chenxuan, play the thunder for me.

I need to change my shirt.

Which side do I use?

Welcome to the play, Thunderstorm by Class Eight.

Sifeng,

I promise to take you away from here.

Ping!

Mom!

This can't be true!

Father,

Mother.

Why do I love plots

where the lovers find out they're siblings?

Come on! Let's try again!

Why take it so seriously?

Just get it over with!

You don't get it.

I have to do a good job,

so he'll know, I'm not useless at everything.

You'll do anything for love.

Let's try again.

I'll shake it.

What's going on?

How should I know?

This shirt is a little big on Chen Xiaoxi,

but it beats wearing a wet shirt.

Why are you hiding out here?

Jiang Chen.

Boss!

It's over already?

I came rushing over!

Chen Xiaoxi,

you were so embarrassing today.

Maybe a fairy has cast a spell

To start a conversation between us

This glamorous world is too much to handle

Where can I stop

Don't pay attention To doubts and suppression

Calm down and listen To the heart's answers

What kind of loss makes the heart ache

You must know

Tell me this is a dream

It's the mutter in my sleep

Painting a future home

Full of the things I love

In the dreams

All struggles are overcome

You're there looking at me with a smile

Saying gently

Come on, don't be afraid

Dream

Days and nights of worry and concern

Full of hardship and silent anguish

Original intent carried through youth

Tell me it will come true

It's the mutter in my sleep

Painting a future home

Full of the things I love

In the dream

All struggles are overcome

You're there looking at me with a smile

Saying gently, come on, don't be afraid

Saying gently

Come on, don't be afraid
