=Always Home= (Adapted from Xiao Ge's novel, Always Home)

=Episode 4= (Run! Speed: 140 miles per hour!)

(No one would believe me.)

(I always say I'm a soccer lover,)

(and I seem fearless.)

(But if it weren't for my dad,)

(I would have given up when I got injured before the recruitment.)

Coach.

I know you mean well.

However,

I won't let Xichi

play soccer.

Let alone attend a soccer academy.

He's trained

so hard for years.

You should let him see it through.

(He reignited my motivation,)

(and convinced my mom to let me continue playing.)

(Of course,)

(only if I don't get hurt again.)

Dad.

You're really getting old.

You couldn't keep up earlier.

I was literally feeding you marks earlier.

Watch your words.

Xichi.

Promise me.

You can play soccer,

but remember,

you promised Mom.

If you get injured again,

you won't be able to play anymore.

Got it.

But dad.

We need

to go home now.

Mom will be back soon.

I'll get going first.

Boy. I'm afraid of getting caught by your mom too!

Dad.

Stay alert.

Mom could be back any time now.

Don't you spill the beans.

What are you doing?

We've been home all day.

How would our house look so clean?

You're sneaky indeed.

Let's watch the match.

It's starting.

What's wrong with you two?

Did you really have to turn the house upside down just to watch a match?

You're so difficult.

What's that smell?

Yunnan Baiyao.

Xichi.

Did you play...

Ouch!

I need to spray this later.

Jing.

If you're not feeling well, just go see Song.

Yes, exactly.

What if you hurt your bones?

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

I heard you have sports day coming up.

You better

not register for anything.

But Mom.

Please.

Please, Mom.

Please, I beg you.

My legs are perfectly fine.

That's final.

Mom.

Please let me go.

I'm the class sports representative.

I have to set an example.

Just get your classmates to join.

I will

talk to your teacher.

Mom.

This affects our class performance.

I have to compete.

I'm the best in class at sports.

What about your leg?

It was injured.

It may have healed,

but your knees

are still weak.

Do you understand?

Don't worry, Mom.

I know how to take care of myself.

I can still run.

How can I not worry?

Song said

you need to rest and avoid strenuous activity.

Did you hear me?

Mom.

Please, I beg you.

Beg?

What a coward.

Mom!

Our class has no other athletes.

If I don't compete, we have no chance of winning.

Besides, I'm terrible at academics. I've always dragged the class down.

This is my chance

to contribute.

I don't want to be the laughing stock of the other classes.

Jing Xichi.

Stop arguing with me.

Save your energy

for studying.

Then you won't be a disappointment.

Gosh.

Go study.

Mom.

Let me compete.

(I'll join.)

Chen Huan'er!

Are you serious?

I'm very weak now.

Don't lie to me.

I'm serious.

You're the best!

I'll join regardless.

Are you hungry?

Here, have some.

I made it myself. I learned the recipe from Aunt Hao.

You cooked this?

That's right. Open up.

How is it?

Not bad.

Didn't you say you don't like it?

I never said that.

I ate everything

you rejected.

I think the vegetable dumplings are good.

Listen.

My mom wasn't thinking straight yesterday.

She won't let me compete.

Thank goodness you agreed.

However,

why'd you change your mind?

That's none of your business.

Don't try to figure out

a girl's thought.

By the way,

please don't tell my mom

that I'm competing.

Don't snitch on me.

Why all the secrecy?

I told you.

Stop guessing my thoughts.

Fine.

I won't say anything.

We need to start

intensive training now.

Okay.

Are you that happy?

Our class has a secret weapon.

Hurry, we're almost there.

I don't want to run anymore.

- I can't keep going. - You can't stop abruptly after the run.

Come on.

Walk slowly.

Let's walk slowly.

Song Cong.

I'm joining the 800m race.

Help me train.

You've competed

since junior middle school.

Are you joining this round too?

Not this time.

I'm the announcer.

Ask Xichi to train you then.

He's a professional.

Never mind then.

Goodbye.

Speed up.

Chen Huan'er.

This is your favorite orange.

- What are you doing? - You can eat it at the finish line.

Secret weapon? Her?

Don't push her too hard.

She's just like you. You're still an amateur even if you're the soccer team leader.

And you're no leader.

You're just a ball boy.

Ignore him. Focus on running.

Let it go.

- You can eat this when you finish. - Put it down!

Come on, Chen Huan'er!

Almost there!

Slow down.

Are you okay?

How is it?

As long as you finish.

Why are you so worked up?

I want to challenge myself.

Regulate your breathing. Come on.

Drink some water.

Drink slowly.

Slowly.

I'm home.

You're back.

Why are you late today?

What happened to your face?

Why is your hair tangled?

I was on duty today.

I was sweating buckets.

Duty?

Tell your teacher

to assign you something less physically demanding.

Your body can't handle strenuous work.

- You shouldn't be doing manual labor. - Okay. Don't worry, Mom.

I'm in top condition.

Nonsense.

That's right.

After your Sports Day,

come to my workplace for lunch.

Don't go home for food.

All right, noted.

Gosh.

Get ready.

- Class 6! - Come on!

- Class 6! - Come on!

- Class 6! - Come on!

(Tianhe No.1 Middle School's 12th Sports Day) Come on, Class 6!

- Class 6! - Come on!

- Class 6! - Come on!

- Class 6! - Come on!

- Class 6! - Come on!

What's wrong, Huan'er?

Do you have a stomachache?

Sort of.

I'll just drink some water.

Gosh, what's wrong with our school?

Why are they holding Sports Day on such a gloomy day?

It's so chilly.

I don't get it. What's the point of Sports Day?

I'd rather have a half-day off.

- Class 6! - Come on!

- Class 6! - Come on!

- Class 6! - Come on!

Look at them. So arrogant!

Class 6 is always full of themselves on Sports Day.

Well, their class has a lot of student athletes.

We have one too.

Our hopes are on Xichi.

I heard his mom won't let him compete.

Really?

If he doesn't compete, we're doomed.

Jing Xichi is joining.

- Jing Xichi! - Let's go!

- Jing Xichi. - Come on!

- Jing Xichi. - Come on!

- Jing Xichi. - Come on!

- Jing Xichi. - Come on!

- Jing Xichi. - Come on!

(Go, Xichi! You're the best!)

- Jing Xichi. - Come on!

Jing Xichi.

On your marks.

- Jing Xichi. - Come on!

Get ready.

(Go, Xichi! You're the best!)

- Jing Xichi. - Come on!

All the best!

You can do this!

All the best!

(Tianhe No.1 Middle School's 12th Sports Day 2008)

(Sports ignite passion)

Women's 1500m Race will start.

Huan'er. They're taking attendance.

- They're calling for the 1500m race. - I'm going.

It's Huan'er's turn.

Let's cheer for her.

All the best!

You got this!

Come on!

All the best!

Over here.

Yes.

Don't get ahead of yourself just yet.

You should just give up

on the Women's 1500m race.

Our class

never gives up.

Don't stress about it.

I won earlier.

Just follow your rhythm.

You're a winner as long as you finish the race.

Don't worry.

Trust me.

All the best!

Huan'er is an amazing runner!

Huan'er will be number one!

Huan'er is incredible

You're the Little Pride of Class 5!

(Senior One Class 6. Senior One Class 5) You're the Little Pride of Class 5!

Little Pride!

You got this!

Get ready.

Set.

Come on, Chen Huan'er!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on, Chen Huan'er!

Come on!

(Chase dreams and leave no regrets.)

(Chase dreams and leave no regrets.)

(Just finish the race.)

(Why do you train so hard?)

(I want to challenge myself.)

Huan'er.

Huan'er.

She has low blood sugar. It's nothing serious.

I gave her a glucose injection.

Doctor. Does she really not need to go to the hospital?

No, she'll be fine.

But she's quite weak.

If you're really worried, when she's awake,

you can bring her in for a check-up when she wakes up.

Is Huan'er okay?

She's okay.

The doctor said

she has low blood sugar.

That's right.

She was too nervous this morning and skipped breakfast.

I'll get her something to eat.

Huan'er.

Qi Qi.

How are you feeling?

I think...

I just got my period.

Did you forget to bring pads?

It's okay, I'll buy them for you.

Get some rest.

Why are you here?

I'm buying something for Huan'er.

Come on, I'll pay for both.

No, it's fine.

It's okay.

It's really fine, just pay for yours.

Give it to me.

You pay first.

You first.

Let's just pay together.

It's really okay.

Just buy yours.

That'll be 27 yuan.

(School Mini Mart)

Chen Huan'er.

Get up.

Are you okay?

Xichi.

Would this be considered a work injury?

Is it serious?

I think so.

Come on, let's go to the hospital.

I'm just joking.

- Don't get mad. - I was really worried about you.

What exactly happened?

It's nothing serious.

By the way,

how did our class do?

Did we win?

I don't know. I came straight here after my race.

I didn't check the scores.

Are you okay, Huan'er?

The results for the 1500m race are out. You placed third.

I got third?

Our class is the champion?

You need to accept your prize.

Can you walk?

Of course!

Wait.

What about the IV drip?

Where's the school doctor?

I don't see her around.

No need to find her.

Anyone can remove a needle.

Can you?

Of course.

Here.

Okay.

Then remove it for me.

Hurry, I want to watch the match.

Press it.

I'll go first.

My shoes.

Be careful.

- She's going to the toilet. - Come on.

Let's receive your prize.

Chen Huan'er!

Our Little Pride!

- Chen Huan'er! - Our Little Pride.

- Chen Huan'er! - Our Little Pride.

- Chen Huan'er! - Our Little Pride.

- Chen Huan'er! - Our Little Pride.

- Chen Huan'er! - Our Little Pride.

- Chen Huan'er! - Our Little Pride.

Chen Huan'er!

Don't get too full of yourselves.

You're just lucky.

You still have to take the Plosives Test.

So? What's wrong with that? We can be as proud as we want.

You didn't win anything. Why are you acting so smug?

Keep whining,

losers.

Not only did we beat you in this competition,

but we'll also win the Plosives Test.

What a sore loser!

How undignified.

Sore loser.

Say that again!

Sore loser!

Sore loser!

(Turns out everyone has a hidden side.)

(I never expected someone as cool as Qi Qi)

to step up and stand against other classes' provocation.)

(The same classmates who used to mock my accent)

(now stood united.)

(Making your first decision alone)

(isn't easy.)

(Jing Xichi is right.)

(I can do this.)

(Tianhe No.3 Central Hospital)

Mom told us to wait here.

She will pick us up.

Hey, you.

You're so obedient.

You're going to the canteen for lunch as instructed?

I was thinking of getting something fancy.

Whatever.

I want KFC.

You can get it here too.

I gave the chicken stew a nickname, Kentucky.

Stop trying to fool me.

You're here. You must be starving.

Mom.

(Outpatient Building)

Good day.

Look at this.

What happened to your hand?

I'm fine.

I'll have a look.

I'm fine.

Let me see.

Did you get an IV drip?

Why did you need one?

Well, I had low blood sugar.

Did you faint?

I'm fine, Mom, really.

You joined Sports Day, didn't you?

I told you not to. You need to take care of yourself.

Why won't you listen?

You're lucky nothing happened. What if...

No, Aunt.

She actually...

I'm fine, Mom.

I'm really fine, Mom.

Did the school doctor give you the IV? It's swollen.

This has nothing to do with her.

Don't go blaming the school.

It has nothing to do with them too.

I just wanted to watch the matches,

so I pulled it out myself.

You clumsy thing.

Aunt.

Actually, Huan'er...

Mom.

I'm sorry.

Let's eat first, okay?

I'm hungry.

Okay.

I'm so hungry.

Let's go eat.

This is odd.

Jing Xichi.

Did you join the race too?

I knew it.

All kids are the same.

They never listen.

Mom.

Don't be upset.

I'm sorry.

What are we eating today? I'm craving for...

Don't you think

Aunt Lina was overly sensitive?

That's true.

Aunt Lina

is usually easygoing,

but today she seemed really anxious.

Let's eat first.

(Okay, this is his chance.)

(Good shot! Bravo!)

You're back, Mom.

I have a question, Mom.

Go ahead.

(Let me introduce him again.)

What is it?

Well.

I'd like to ask you.

In most cases,

how do you remove a needle without causing swelling?

Aunt Lina told me.

You're so bold.

You're lucky nothing serious happened.

If it had, who would be responsible?

What happened to Huan'er?

Why are you so worked up?

Stop prying.

Just don't let her participate in any strenuous activities.

Do you hear me?

Is she sick?

It's nothing.

It happened years ago.

It's nothing serious.

Just don't ask about it,

especially in front of Aunt Lina.

Okay.

Give me your hand.

Look.

The blood vein.

To remove a needle properly,

you need to be gentle,

quick,

and press firmly.

Gently, quickly, and press firmly.

Pull it out in the same direction as the vein.

Never move it back and forth,

or you'll hit the vein wall,

which causes swelling.

You look great.

You seem happier after switching classes.

Well.

Mom.

I didn't tell you

before I requested a class transfer.

I'm sorry.

Now that you've switched classes, you're trying to sweet-talk me?

That won't work.

I'll be frank with you.

Just because I allowed it doesn't mean I'm spoiling you.

My bottom line is this, you must never study medicine.

I know it all too well.

Being a doctor is exhausting.

I don't want you to end up like your dad.

After eight years of medical school,

there are still

endless courses, tests,

surgeries, and evaluations.

It never stops. You won't even have time for your own family.

I'm not saying

other jobs are easy,

but at least some careers

are less demanding than being a doctor.

I know, Mom.

Huan'er.

Do you feel any discomfort?

I'm okay.

Come eat.

Mom.

Where's my red and white towel?

It's hanging on the balcony.

Come eat.

Okay.

(You should rest well, Huan'er.)

(You're incredible, Huan'er!)

(Are you all right?)

(We left the school clinic)

(before checking if you were feeling all right.)

(You should take medical leave.)

Chen Huan'er.

What's the matter?

Are you feeling better now?

I'm okay.

I...

My mom was just being overly protective.

Rest early.

Good night.

Come eat, Huan'er.

Coming.

Chen Huan'er.

Why can't she participate in Sports Day?

She was sick when she was little.

She has a weak constitution.

We live in the same compound.

You should look out for her.

Don't tell my mom

I joined Sports Day.

Don't snitch on me.

Why the secrecy?

You had an IV drip?

Did you faint?

I told you not to join Sports Day. You need to take care of yourself.

Why won't you listen?

Come on.

Breakfast.

Thanks.

This candy is for you too.

To prevent low blood sugar.

You mustn't faint again.

She's not a patient.

What are you doing?

That's right.

I'm perfectly healthy now.

Do you hear me?

Stop treating her differently.

By the way. We have a test today.

We need to hurry.

A test? Today?

Mr. Xu mentioned it yesterday.

The school is so cruel,

giving us a test right after Sports Day.

You really didn't

listen to the teacher.

(I was grateful for Jing Xichi.)

(He eased my awkwardness)

(with a joke.)

(Perhaps he's right.)

(I just want to be normal,)

(like everyone else.)

Chen Huan'er.

Coming.

Liang.

- What is it? - Are you watching the match?

Didn't we make a bet

before Sports Day?

Chi.

Stop it.

I wasn't serious about that.

Liang.

Well, listen.

Chi.

Chi.

This is about the Cultural Festival.

There's going to be a Bookcrossing Event.

Go home

and pick your favorite book.

You can

leave a message for the next student

who gets your book.

After you finish reading,

remember to reply to the message you receive too.

The class monitor will collect the books and send them to the Reading Room.

Mr. Xu. Does that mean the class monitor will know what books we get?

Of course she will pick her favorite one.

Who do you like?

I mean, she'll pick the book that she likes.

I'll throw yours in the bin first.

Well, if that's the case,

you can submit your book directly to the Reading Room.

We won't force you to join the free study period on Friday afternoons.

You'll have plenty of time to read.

Alright.

What nonsense.

By the end of this month,

you need to submit an 800-word reflection on the book.

All right.

You can study on your own now.

Huan'er.

Do you want to grab milk tea together after school?

We can talk about book selection.

Sure.

Let's invite them too.

Qi Qi is asking if you want to get milk tea after school.

Pure invitation.

Are you treating us then?

Bill's on me.

I want to thank you

for helping me with revision.

A treat?

Am I included?

You always get excited when someone treats.

Yes, you can join.

You're truly my friend.

(Open)

Song Cong.

Have you thought about what book to bring?

Well.

Not yet.

What do you usually read?

Normally,

I don't have a particular preference.

(Open) I read all sorts of book.

Qi Qi.

(Open)

What book did you choose?

(Open)

Don't tell me

it's another melodramatic youth novel.

That's none of your business.

Besides, participation matters more than the book itself.

What if someone doesn't have any books?

Don't drag me into this.

I have books.

What book?

Even though I don't like studying,

I actually

enjoy reading.

(Open)

Come here, Huan'er.

(Open)

Come to my house later and pick a book.

Won't that trouble you?

No worries.

Come on.

- I'll take it. - Come on.

Goodbye.

Bye!

(Open)

Since when did you take an interest in reading?

Come on in.

Your house is huge!

And your piano, it looks magnificent.

This?

My mom forced me to play the piano.

I wanted to learn the ukulele,

but she wouldn't allow it.

She said it wasn't presentable.

Ukulele?

What's that?

Why do you want to play the ukulele?

A ukulele

is a small musical instrument

that you can carry anywhere.

I

wanted to play it because

I dream of wandering the world with it.

Wandering the world?

You really dream big.

If I had the chance,

I'd love to travel the world too.

Really?

But for now,

I want to focus on the present.

You're back, Qi Qi.

Greetings, Aunt.

Have some fruits.

Thank you.

Thank you, Aunt.

Qi Qi.

Your mom is really kind.

That's my housekeeper.

If you met my mom,

you wouldn't say that.

Let's go pick a book.

Take a look here.

Qi Qi.

You have so many books at home!

Did you know?

I used to love reading as a kid,

mostly because

I loved the smell of books.

They smell great.

Try it

Really?

I'm sorry.

I have a nose allergy.

It's okay.

I'll take this. Go ahead and pick a book.

There are too many!

I don't know which one to choose.

Qi Qi.

How about this?

Just help me pick one book.

That won't do.

Your favorite book

says

a lot about you.

The person who chooses your book

likely shares

the same taste.

You might even be soul mates.

Huan'er.

Which books did Song Cong and Jing Xichi pick?

Tell me.

I don't want to choose the same one.

That's very unlikely.

We've already picked our books...

No.

Song Cong might have that book at home.

I'll ask them later.

Qi Qi.

You're right.

I should pick a book

from my own collection.

That way,

it truly represents me.

Okay.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

My school is organizing a Bookcrossing event.

Do you have any books

I can borrow?

Why not take one of your own?

Well, mine

are too basic.

Mom.

Listen.

I went to Qi Qi's place today.

Her house is really massive.

She has so many books.

I couldn't even

understand some of the titles.

No wonder she's so good at writing.

If I recommend one of my books,

it'll seem

boring in comparison.

You want something interesting?

Come on.

Check my bookshelf.

My books are interesting.

(Goldman-Cecil Medicine) It's surely interesting.

Your classmates would be impressed. Pick whichever you like.

It's not impressing,

it's depressing.

(Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine)

How can I recommend this?

Why not?

It's Science.

Look, this book is about gynecology.

Girls like you

should learn about it.

If you ever have symptoms

or anything...

Mom.

Enough with the medical jargon.

I can't

recommend this.

Why can't you recommend these?

It's about the human body.

This one's on acupuncture.

We're only in senior middle school, we can't do acupuncture!

Well.

What about this?

The Compendium of Materia Medica.

A classic.

Teach my classmates about herbal medicine? Never mind.

Mom.

Don't you have any normal books?

That's right.

I've only read

half of this one,

but I can lend it to you.

Neuropsychology.

Or

I have another one,

abnormal psychology.

It's even more compelling. Where did I put it?

Forget the abnormal one.

I rather choose the neuro book.

You sure you don't want something fresh? My books are fresh.

Trust me.

I'll have a look.
