Episode 8
My dad?s going to
lose his job because of me.
It?s okay.
It?s not that serious.
Don?t cry.
Right now, I should be
the saddest person in the world, right?
Ting Ting.
Ting Ting, what?s wrong?
I want to break up with that jerk.
You want to break up with Ma Jun Cai?
Right. With him.
Why?
We haven?t been dating that long,
and he betrayed me.
You two are so lovey-dovey.
How could Ma Jun Cai betray you?
Just now at the cafeteria,
I saw another girl carrying my umbrella.
You?re making even less sense.
What happened exactly?
Remember how it was raining when we practiced the time before last?
Ma Jun Cai took me to my dorm.
I was scared he?d get all wet,
so I gave him my umbrella.
Right. I was even scared he?d get soaked.
I even gave him my umbrella.
Then, in the cafeteria just now,
I saw that girl carrying my umbrella.
He must?ve re-gifted my umbrella to someone else.
You could?ve been mistaken, too.
It could just be a similar looking umbrella.
Impossible.
That umbrella was a limited edition.
I even put a bunny on its handle.
Ting Ting.
Don?t cry, Ting Ting.
Encourage me. I want to break up with him.
I want to leave the band.
What!?
I want to drop out!
This is how my life is.
Jun Cai, calm down.
What happened exactly?
Wen Ting Ting.
She?s going to break up with me.
What?
Why?
Weren?t you guys just fine before the concert?
Who knows.
Women are fickle animals.
I treated her so well.
She only looked at me during the entire concert.
Only at me!
I think of her every second of every minute.
She actually wants to break up.
But
there has to be a reason.
It?s too odd without one.
I?m a Pisces.
Extremely sensitive.
She really hurt me.
I?ll make her realize
I?m not bothered.
I want to drop out.
I?ll go fill out the paperwork right now.
Jun?
I?ll get him.
Jun Cai, calm down.
Hey.
Santorini Maison Hotel...
Who... are you?
You have the wrong person.
I don?t know you.
Shu Qing.
I really miss you.
Please give me another bottle.
Thanks.
Come in!
Hello.
Excuse me,
does Wen Ting Ting room here?
Yeah. Are you looking for her?
I?m returning this.
Isn?t that Ting Ting?s umbrella?
Yeah.
By chance, I was at a convenience store buying things
on a rainy day.
So that?s what happened.
Yeah, because they?re similar,
I realized I picked up the wrong one.
When I asked around,
they said
Wen Ting Ting has an umbrella like this.
I thought it might be hers.
Thank you.
She?s not here right now.
I?ll tell her when she gets back.
Alright, I?ll give it to you, then.
Thanks.
Sorry,
the phone you are calling could not be connected.
Please try again later.
Where?d she go? Why?s she not answering her phone?
Hello?
Ma Jun Cai.
I?m telling you,
Ting Ting misunderstood you.
Luo Man.
You know I?m a Pisces.
I?m very sensitive!
I know you?re sensitive.
Just listen to me, okay?
I?m so sensitive, I don?t wanna live.
It?s fine if I die.
Stop it.
Don?t die.
Where are you?
Who cares if I die?
Come in.
Xiu Qi.
They said you were here today.
I came to find you.
This late?
You must have something to report.
Actually,
it?s about Professor Luo Hai Bin.
Ting Ting!
Ma Jun Cai!
It was all my fault.
No, it was all my fault.
Ting Ting,
let?s never part again.
I can?t live without you.
I can?t live without my sweetie either.
Ting Ting!
Jun Cai.
Worry people to death.
It?s late.
Has Zhang You Tiao not come back yet?
So that?s what happened.
Director,
hear me out.
Blame me if you blame anyone.
You
are exactly like my younger self.
Braving responsibility.
I
didn?t misjudge you.
Director.
Are you still going to fire Professor Luo?
That, huh?
He made a huge spectacle
of himself
in front of the entire school.
In front of all the professors and students.
He?s neglected his duties
as a professor.
Director.
Put this all on me.
I?m willing to accept any punishment.
But please
be lenient towards Professor Luo.
Since
the student president
has spoken on Professor Luo?s behalf,
this matter...
I?ll let it slide.
Really, Director?
Yes.
I?m really grateful, Director.
Please, excuse me.
I?m sorry to bother you so late.
I?ll leave.
Thank you, Director.
Zhang Hao.
Zhang You Tiao.
Zhang Hao!
Zhang Hao.
What happened?
Why did you drink so much?
Did something happen?
Luo Man.
I love you.
I really miss you.
Really.
I love you so much.
Really.
Luo Man,
what?s wrong?
You usually wolf down your food.
Why have you been in a daze all day?
It?s nothing.
Ting Ting,
are you still eating your shrimp?
No.
Goodness.
I forgot something.
A really, really important thing.
A store?s having a sale.
Let?s go shopping after we?re done.
Mm.
Do you guys wanna come?
Midterm exams are coming up.
You two really aren?t going to study?
What!?
Midterm week really is approaching.
Li Xiu Qi,
why did you have to tell me!?
You?re so cruel.
I didn?t hear, I didn?t hear.
I don?t know anything.
I?m not in the mood to go shopping.
I don?t know anything, I don?t know anything.
I don?t know.
My dad said
we don?t need to practice during that week.
We?ll talk after the exams.
What?
Didn?t we say after the festival
we wouldn?t practice anymore?
You!
I?
I?m just kidding.
I, you know,
am really passionate about practicing.
Oh, right.
Where?s our American friend?
How come he?s not here?
Must be in class.
He should be here soon.
By the way,
Zhang Hao said he wants me
to reserve him a seat at the library tomorrow.
I can?t go because of government stuff.
How about you go?
Why would I help him with that?
I refuse.
What should I do when I see Zhang You Tiao?
It?s not like he confessed to me yesterday.
Why should I be nervous?
I?ll just pretend like nothing happened.
Hi!
I?m here!
Seems like Luo-shixiong really does hate me.
Zhang Hao,
what did you do to provoke her?
Such a deep and profound hatred.
Shrimp!
I love eating shrimp.
There are so many people.
When did you get here, Song Qing?
You?re so good at getting a seat.
Are there always this many people here?
This is my first time coming here at this time.
When are seats available?
(Get lost.)
Excellent.
But what should I use to reserve the seat?
Hey.
Why are you so slow?
Just worry about yourself.
Don?t always nag me.
I helped you get a seat at the library.
After you?re done,
you can get right to studying.
Why did you help me?
Suddenly acting kind.
If Li Xiu Qi hadn?t asked me,
I wouldn?t have done it, alright?
Luo-shixiong, you...
What?
Nothing.
Should I buy you bread
or
are you going to give me a tough time
I?m not that kind of person.
If you?re not going, forget it.
I?m kidding.
Stop being ridiculous.
I wrote your name on the table already.
You?ll see it when you get there.
I?m off.
Min Qiang!
Are you here to study?
You?re stronger than me.
What?s that mean?
So many empty seats.
No need to reserve.
He?s Zhang Hao.
Could he be Zhang Hao?
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Can you really get a seat like that?
Luo Man.
Luo Man!
You?re here, Zhang Hao.
Thank you.
I?m glad I had you reserve my seat,
otherwise I wouldn?t have been able to study.
What?s to thank? It?s no big deal.
How about
we go have a drink together after work?
My treat.
A drink...
Are you asking me out?
Well...
I?ve wanted to for a long time.
Luo Man!
You?re here, Zhang Hao.
Why thank you.
Thanks ever so much for reserving me a seat.
Such a small thing doesn?t need thanks.
What have you done?
What?s wrong?
Even if you wanted to make a fool of me,
you didn?t have to reserve my seat that way.
What way?
What sticky stuff was on the table?
Ah, you mean the curry sauce.
I didn?t bring a pen today,
so I used curry sauce to write your name
and reserve a seat.
I wasn?t able to eat my bread filled this afternoon.
It looked like feces.
Luo-shixiong, thank you.
Now my name really is famous.
Curry sauce is delicious.
How does it look like feces?
There you are.
I swear, you?re?
Do you have a concept of time?
You?re already 10 minutes late.
I?m a busy man.
Being late is the same as being early.
Enough.
Don?t be long-winded.
Hand it over.
What?s this?
Money. Didn?t you want me to repay you?
I know it?s money.
The issue is whether it?s enough.
I remember saying
renting the guitar is ¥500 an hour.
I... I?m a little short on cash right now.
How about we set up an installment plan?
Stop kidding around.
You said loud and clear
you were going to repay me right away in front of Luo Man.
What?
Going back on your word again?
Take it back.
What odds and ends are you giving me?
Aiyo.
My word, dajie,
why are we competing here?
This is money, isn?t it?
I?ll take my time repaying you.
I have things to do, I?ll go ahead and leave.
Let?s talk again later.
Hey!
I?m exhausted.
I don?t understand a word.
You?re right.
These problems
are unfamiliar to me.
They don?t like me.
Why are you studying so seriously, then?
I need to make a cheat sheet
before the exam in preparation.
My sweetie?s so smart.
I?ll read too.
Ting Ting.
C-come... come outside with me.
Hurry, come on, come on.
What is it, Jun Cai?
What are we doing here, Jun Cai?
W... what?re you doing?
Ting Ting,
we?ve been together a while now.
Should we
also be doing
things boyfriends and girlfriends do?
D-do... do what?
That is...
The most normal things between a boy and a girl.
You mean that.
Right.
Right here.
Mm.
That?s not good.
We...
We?ve been dating for so long.
You like me,
and I like you.
Why can?t we?
Alright then.
I promise.
But only after our exams.
Alright then.
Ting Ting.
But after our exams,
I don?t want a kiss on the face.
I want to kiss on the lips.
I?m not greedy.
Just once.
As long as it?s on the lips.
Okay?
Not having to work during exams is pretty great.
You love working so much.
Why would you say something like that?
The test I?m taking tomorrow?s going to be difficult.
Which class?
Modern Chinese History.
I don?t understand why I would study something
that?s still happening while I?m alive.
Am I seeing right?
Luo Man is actually studying.
Has the sun risen from the West?
So you?re making a cheat-sheet.
What class is it for?
I don?t have that many classes to choose from.
Why haven?t you showered yet?
It?s not very crowded right now.
Luo-shixiong.
What?s with your face?
What?s wrong with my face?
Have you not looked in a mirror?
Those circles under your eyes reach down to your chin.
What were you doing last night?
Mind your own business.
This is for you.
What is it?
A love letter?
Don?t be disgusting.
It?s a cheat sheet for Modern History.
I found it on the street.
I have no use for it,
so I brought it over to you.
Use it if you want.
I?m off, bye-bye.
Luo-shixiong.
Thanks.
None of this is on the test.
No wonder someone tossed it.
Board: Exam Location Rows Subject: College Chinese, Western Philosophy Time: 13:30-16:30
Done.
With this,
I can pass any test.
Your attention, students.
The exam location has changed.
Everyone go to room 505.
No one can stop me.
This time, I will definitely
pass this exam.
Did you study late last night?
It was late,
but she made a cheat sheet.
Is that true, Luo Man?
Cheating is wrong.
If you have time to cheat,
why not just properly study instead?
Hurry up and give it to me
before you?re caught by the professor.
Ignore Ting Ting.
I didn?t make a cheat sheet.
You?ll even cheat on your dad?s exam.
What if someone finds out?
Exactly.
You don?t cheat either, Ting Ting.
I know. I won?t, I won?t.
Hurry and give it to me.
It?s not even for this class.
Besides, I threw away that half-assed cheat sheet I made.
Really?
Really.
Board: Exam Location Instructions Subject: Popular Music Time: 8:30-11:30
Earlier,
some students complained to me
asking why this class needs a midterm exam.
I?ll tell everybody now.
Testing your progress is necessary.
You can?t have a relaxed attitude towards your studies.
Especially
for our important subject here.
I?ll give out instructions now.
Everybody stand up.
Move over one seat
to the left.
Classmate,
let?s pretend to exchange seats.
I?ve put all my notes on the table.
The professor said to change.
Help me out here.
No can do.
In a bit,
I won?t be the one monitoring the class.
However
a professor will make the rounds through.
So
no cheating allowed.
I hope everyone will pass the exam.
Do your best!
Okay, I?ll hand out the papers.
Luo Man.
Stop sleeping, Luo Man.
Okay, time?s up.
Pass your papers up from the back.
Luo Man.
Hurry and wake up.
Luo Man.
Get up, we?re handing them in.
Luo-shixiong!
I?m off, Luo Man.
Bye-bye.
How was your exam?
It went. How about yours?
Not bad.
That cheat sheet must?ve been useful.
No, it wasn?t over the material.
Why else would someone toss it?
What?
It wasn?t over the material?
But I worked so hard?
to pick it up.
Thanks anyway.
See you later!
I swear, students today.
Why didn?t any of them write me?
Luo Man.
(Question 2: Pick a particularly accomplished popular artist (30 pts) Luo Hai B?)
Why is it so dirty?
Why is it so crowded?
No one?s usually this hard-working.
They all flock to the library during exam week.
What kind of thinking is this?
Aren?t you the same way?
I?
Alright. We can?t get a seat at the library.
Let?s think of something else.
I have an idea.
Let?s rent a room.
What are you up to?
I say we rent a room at a hotel.
It will be cool and clean for studying.
If everyone pitches in, it won?t cost much.
You?re right, honey.
You are so smart.
This way, we won?t have to reserve seats,
and we can study all night.
Not a bad idea, I think it?s okay.
What do you think, Xiu Qi?
Xiu Qi will agree for sure.
We?ll leave reserving the room up to you two.
Me and Luo Man?
Jun Cai and I have another exam.
To save time, you two rent the room.
Okay.
Alright.
I?m really getting a room with Luo Man.
Why is your face so red?
T-this...
I guess because it?s so hot.
The weather?s gotten warmer these past two years.
Looks like I?ll need to propose activities
related to protecting the environment next.
You really are the student president,
Even caring about the planet.
Hello? Dad.
Right now?
I know, I know.
What?s up?
My dad wants me to go to his office.
Judging by his tone, it can?t be good.
I heard you two are going to a hotel
to sweetly steal away in your own world.
Are you crazy? You scared me.
Jun Cai just texted me,
said we?re all going to study at a hotel.
Yup.
My dad?s looking for me.
You two go rent the room, bye-bye.
Let?s go!
What?re you doing? Control yourself.
We came to study.
The others are taking exams,
so they had us come and rent the room.
I didn?t ask, why are you so nervous?
Sweetheart.
Let?s hurry up.
Hello?
Xiu Qi.
I?m at the mall.
I?m shopping around.
It?s a sort of stress-reliever.
I?ll be there soon.
Don?t worry, don?t worry.
Xiu Qi.
After all of my cajoling and threatening,
the study tyrants finally loaned me those study materials.
I?m xeroxing them right now.
I?ll go over there when I?m done.
Okay?
How many in line?
I?m counting.
I?m second in line.
I?ll come over when I?m done talking to my dad.
Why would I lie?
You think I want to be here?
Talk if you need to, hang up if you don?t.
Hear that?
I?m hanging up, bye-bye.
Dad.
What d?you mean, ?Dad??
Is it okay to sleep during exams?
It?s an exam.
They?ll all be here later.
Let?s start studying.
So this is what hotels in China are like.
You look like you rent rooms often.
I did a lot in America.
Couldn?t you be a little more abashed when you say things like that?
Come on, it?s not like you?re a little kid.
Why the a big reaction?
Is this your first time at a hotel?
How could it be?
Before, I...
stayed at a hotel with my parents.
Caring Brother is actually so innocent.
So innocent.
Could you cut it out?
This... this... soon?
The water you wanted.
Thanks.
We really are waiting on more people.
They?ll be here soon to study.
Thanks.
Ting Ting!
Honey! You got here just in time.
Help me carry these, I?m so tired.
Ting Ting.
After exams are over,
that thing...
What thing?
You forgot?
It?s so important.
What we promised in the garden that day.
It?s...
That.
I remember that, don?t worry.
Luo Man.
Didn't you rent the room with Xiu Qi?
What are you doing here?
Because I slept during the exam, my dad gave me a talking to.
You two just got here?
Zhang Hao and Li Xiu Qi must be in the middle of studying.
Let?s hurry up, too.
Let?s go.
Are you hurt?
Don't move.
