Episode 9
Why are you making that face?
Is this room 2207?
You guys best not come in.
What?s going on?
I?ll go take a look.
Let?s just leave.
What?re you doing? Why can?t we go in?
Be more gentle.
Don?t look, don?t look, just leave, quickly.
Hey.
Get off, get off, quick.
A mix-up, a mistake.
It?s a complete misunderstanding.
What should I do now?
Got him.
Paper: Modern Chinese History - Important Points
Bread...
Zhang You Tiao, come back here!
Good grief.
They?re finally over!
I know, right? They?re finally over.
It isn?t fair.
Why do I still have an exam tomorrow?
Luo Man.
You have one tomorrow, too, right?
Let?s get back to studying.
Ting Ting.
They still need to study.
Let?s leave first.
Don?t hold up everyone.
Mm.
What the heck?
Ting Ting.
How about we go see a movie?
Sure. Let?s buy some popcorn.
This...
I...
Ting Ting.
Honey,
that was a really good movie.
Scared me to death.
By the way,
Lai Ya Market is having a huge sale.
Let?s go check it out.
What?s wrong?
Why aren?t you coming?
Ting Ting,
the thing you promised me before...
What thing?
That thing.
That kiss thing you said
we could do after exams.
Oh, that thing.
Why are you acting like a little kid?
I know.
C?mon, let?s go, we?ll talk about it later.
Come on, come on.
It?s so boring with two less people.
Stop looking for excuses. Study.
I hope I pass the exam tomorrow
to make up for my poor shoulders.
Why aren?t you studying, Luo Man?
I?m stuck on this problem.
Let me look.
You definitely don?t want to rote memorize this sort of problem.
Substitute in the formula,
and it?ll be really easy.
Look.
Take this, substitute this,
and it?s solved.
I?ll do another example.
Watch.
Didn?t you just eat, Luo-shixiong?
Hungry again?
Says who?
You?re starving.
I?ll go buy some coffee.
It?ll help you two stay awake.
Caring Brother,
hurry back.
Luo-shixiong will murder me.
She?ll kill me!
Would you stop talking nonsense?
See?
The ferocity has begun.
Being alone in a room with Luo-shixiong is so scary.
Stop talking. Hurry up and study.
Luo-shixiong,
what does this mean?
It?s really simple.
Take this and match it with this word.
Luo-shixiong.
Do you hate me?
What?
If you don?t, your body language...
Ah~ it can?t be that you like me, right?
Don?t be disgusting.
An old donut like you?
I wouldn?t care if you took my money.
You?re too much.
Excuse me, may I ask,
do you have French-style bread?
In front of you.
Thanks.
No problem.
You?re back so fast.
Look.
I bought you some bread.
Thanks.
Why is Zhang Hao sleeping again?
Zhang Hao, wake up.
Study.
I?ll go back first.
Back to my dorm.
Going back so soon?
It?s too hot.
Too hot?
Luo-shixiong actually didn?t eat her bread.
It?s mine now.
That was so boring.
And they called that a sale.
There was nothing to buy.
Might as well buy off the internet.
Am I right, Jun Cai?
I?m going back.
Why are you out of energy?
You haven?t even told me good night.
Hurry and say it, with sincerity.
Good night.
What the heck?
What?re you doing?
What just happened, Ting Ting?
We were kissing.
Luo Man, you?re an adult now.
Why is your reaction to kissing so extreme?
Kissing.
Kissing!
Kissing?
What?s with you guys?
It?s just kissing.
No big deal.
Frivolous.
Ting Ting, you?re blossoming way too fast.
You don?t think
you?ll get pregnant from kissing, do you?
You won?t?
You?re telling me you won?t?
He must?ve forced you.
Nope, I made the move.
You made the move?
Was it your first kiss?
Of course not.
How?s it feel?
Mm... like a kind of bliss.
Like fast melting snow.
A lot of fun.
More fun than eating meat?
What?
You don?t understand what I?m saying.
What now?
That?s what I want to ask you.
Why are you always in a daze lately?
My mom said
being in a daze is the first sign of Alzheimer?s disease.
Forget it.
Don?t worry about something so small.
I didn?t have fun today going shopping.
I?ll have to go back tomorrow.
Make lots of purchases.
Ting Ting, you buy clothes everyday.
They?re stacked up to the balcony.
You don?t get it.
Women dress up
so men will be interested in them.
You can never have enough clothes.
I can finally have a good sleep.
Even my dreams have been about studying.
I hope I don?t fail the exam
and have to take it again.
My first time taking exams in China.
Really not a piece of cake.
What?s up?
N-nothing... nothing?s up.
Why do you keep looking at Ting Ting like that?
Oh, I know.
You guys must?ve kissed.
No?
Luo Man, we gotta get to class.
I haven?t eaten yet!
Gotta go, gotta go, what about eating?
Ting Ting!
Jun Cai.
Did you really kiss Ting Ting?
Yeah!
So fast! Why?re you being so shy?
We?re all adults here.
This is my first kiss.
What?
You didn?t kiss Xiaoli, Yuan Yuan, and whoever else
when you went on dates?
I... I...
Spit it out.
I... I?ll treat you guys to a meal.
I?ll treat you guys.
Let?s go, let?s go.
Zhang Hao?s not a Pisces.
Why is he so perceptive?
Ma Jun Cai was acting too obvious.
I just about died from the awkwardness.
He shouldn?t care so much.
I?ll go shopping to get over it.
I wanna come, too.
Did I hear right?
Luo Man wants to go shopping.
I?ll buy some clothes.
What happened to make you act so different?
I don?t have enough summer clothing.
I won?t have to wash my clothes so often.
True.
I sympathize with those washed out clothes.
Let?s go.
What?s going on, Zhang Hao?
I?m tidying up.
You?ve come around.
Yeah.
I should?ve done this earlier.
What do you plan on doing next?
Are you planning on staying here?
I haven?t thought that far.
I call, you anger me.
I call, you don?t pay me back.
Don?t you understand what it is to be trustworthy?
Hoodlum.
Jerk.
How can a jerk like you exist?
Pay me back.
Ding Ling-jie,
why are you so angry?
It?s nothing.
Just finished exercising.
Oh, right.
I just got the receipt for the beer.
Here.
Good work.
What?s wrong?
My keychain?s gone.
Keychain?
Is it important?
It?s not an ordinary keychain.
It?s very important to me.
I might?ve forgot it in my dorm.
What time is it?
Why aren?t Wen Ting Ting and Luo Man here yet?
Oh, wow.
Look, look.
Stop, stop, stop.
Are you Luo-shixiong?
Where is Luo-shixiong?
Well?
Pretty, right?
Luo-shixiong,
why are you dressing like a girl?
Luo-shixiong,
those clothes really don?t suit you.
I can?t take it.
What do you two know about taste?
Her clothes are really pretty.
Luo-shixiong.
What is that?
Next time, couldn?t you give us a heads up
before you transform?
Let us prepare ourselves.
Ting Ting.
I?m not telling lies.
You really think she looks good?
I think it looks really... really nice.
Luo Man.
Where?re you going?
Stop laughing, you two.
Luo Man,
what?re you doing here all alone?
Are you mad?
No. I?m leaving.
Are you going to class?
Mm.
But first I?m going to change my outfit.
You?re going to change? But I think?
Don?t say it.
I thought this would be fun to wear.
I realize
this isn?t my style.
I?m going now.
Xiu Qi, you?re back.
Zhang Hao, you took it too far just then.
What?s wrong?
I?m talking about Luo Man.
She was already in a bad mood because she didn?t do well on her exams.
You shouldn?t have been so forward just then.
It...
It?s no big deal.
She?ll get over it soon.
Despite her usually being careless,
she is a girl after all.
I think you?re the only one who sees her that way.
Alright then.
I did take it too far.
Normally she?d get into a fight with me,
but today she just walked away without a word.
I guess she really is angry.
At any rate, don?t act like that again.
I didn?t think you?d come today.
I was in a bad mood last time.
I?m sorry, Ding Ling-jie.
It?s fine.
Water under the bridge.
This girl?s temper heats up
and cools down just as fast.
Did you ask me here to talk about something?
Can?t I not have an ulterior motive?
Can?t I just ask you to chat?
Zhang Hao still hasn?t gone back to America.
You know that, right?
Did you tell him that you found his picture in my purse?
I didn?t.
Casually asking that question...
I asked you here today
to chat about
the next quarter of the year performance.
Have I caught a cold?
Whose is that?
What?
Oh, that.
It?s Zhang Hao?s.
It?s something he misplaced and spent half the day looking for.
I found it by the door this morning.
What?re you looking at?
Nothing.
Let?s go.
Thank you!
I?m really grateful.
How can I repay you?
In that case...
When I?m feeling down, sing me a song.
Absolutely can do.
Anytime, anywhere.
Your word.
Thank you.
Keep working.
Yes, officer.
Hey, Luo-shixiong!
Are you still mad at me?
You?re really mad?
Okay.
I?ll apologize then.
I?m sorry.
Forget it.
That doesn?t sound like letting it go.
I said forget it.
What?s with you?
Let go.
I won?t let go until you?re not angry.
Let go.
Let go!
Are you all right?
You said let go, so I...
let go.
Luo-shixiong.
Luo-shixiong...
Why isn?t she fighting with me today?
Luo-shixiong,
are you okay?
Can you make it to the dorm?
Stop acting concerned.
Every time I run into you,
I get really bad luck.
Get lost.
Hop on.
I don?t need your insincere courtesy.
Let me carry you.
The sprain was my fault.
No need, I can walk on my own.
Zhang You Tiao, what?re you doing?
Let me down this instant!
Zhang You Tiao, you let me down!
Why?re you so heavy?
I?m just the right weight, okay?
Luo-shixiong, don?t move around.
Careful you don?t fall on the ground.
Hurry up, Zhang You Tiao.
Hurry up and go.
Why do you feel so heavy?
This is close enough.
We?ll be at your dorm in just a few steps.
People shouldn?t see this.
Quick, put me down.
You?re right.
Letting people see the fierce Luo-shixiong
being carried
would be way embarrassing.
How am I fierce?
Alright, you?re very nice.
Oh, my lower back.
My lower back.
Aren?t you too heavy?
Aren?t you exaggerating too much?
My lower back...
It feels sprained.
Really?
You?re okay, right?
Where?s it hurt?
Tell me.
How about you
treat me to a meal tomorrow?
It?s decided then.
I carried you,
so you must be thankful.
I never agreed to it.
Even so,
you must feel guilty.
?Oh, Zhang Hao helped me,?
?but I didn?t thank him.?
I swear, how are you so thick-skinned!?
Zhang Hao. Luo Man.
What are you guys doing here?
Fighting again?
No!
Luo Man, hold on.
What?s wrong with your foot?
Never you mind!
Luo-shixiong?s strong.
Don?t worry.
My back.
What?s wrong with you?
She?s really heavy.
Stupid foot. Healed so quick.
Luo Man.
Xiu Qi,
haven?t you been going to the library at 5 lately?
Why are you still at the dorms?
Everyone left really early,
so I stayed behind to read.
Already not at the dorm.
By the way,
since your foot?s hurt,
put this on it.
Thanks.
Caring Brother is the most considerate.
Luo Man,
what?s been bothering you lately?
Many times when I?m talking to you,
you?ve acted standoffish.
Have I done something wrong?
Have you?
You?re over thinking it.
Really?
Really.
Maybe it?s because I didn?t do well on my exams
and because my foot?s sprained,
I?ve been in a bad mood.
It?s not you.
That?s good then.
Are you going toward the school?
Want me to carry you there?
There?s no need!
See? My foot?s just fine.
Look.
That?s it?
Are you joking?
This again?
I-I... This is all I have today.
I?ll explain.
M-my... my money
is all fixed.
I can?t take it out.
I just need the week to come
when I can take it out and repay you.
What fixed week?
Have you any sincerity at all?
You always act like this.
You?re playing me for a fool, aren?t you?
Dajie.
I?m serious about repaying you.
But
I-I... can?t you see how I am?
I bring as much as I can.
I?m doing all that I can.
This is the best you can do?
You won?t have repaid me when you turn 60.
With all those wrinkles across your face,
60 can?t be that far off.
See? I swear, this person...
I-is... is it that fun to mock other people?
How old are we here?
D-doing that...
I?ll give you most of it tomorrow,
alright?
How much?
I figure it won?t be far off.
I don?t believe you can pay me back.
How about this?
Let?s change the repayment method.
Go
to the store out front
and buy me a pair of socks.
A tight pair of flesh-colored panty hose.
Are you joking?
I?m a rock star.
You want me to buy you... buy you socks?
I-i-is... is this possible?
Impossible!
One trip.
¥100.
*Approx. $16
Using money to belittle me.
I?m telling you, it?s impossible!
Try again.
Didn?t I tell you to buy flesh-colored?
Flesh-colored.
You do know what flesh-colored means?
Isn?t this flesh-colored?
Look.
I went according to your skin color.
Look.
Flesh-colored, right?
P-pull this up. It?s flesh-colored.
Look.
It?s exactly the same.
You!
Buy a new pair!
You didn?t buy the right color.
You won?t get
100 Yuan!
I swear, this woman, so annoying.
I?ll have you know
I can
exchange it.
But you can?t tell Luo Man about this embarrassing incident.
She thinks I?ve already repaid you.
Hear me?
I?ll go exchange it.
Don?t try to look so big and tall.
You got to be more attentive toward a girl.
Is it flesh-colored?
What are you looking at?
I?m not looking at anything.
I?m... I?m searching for a second job.
Why would you have that expression when looking for a second job?
Even hiding away your phone.
Luo-shixiong.
You were looking at some shameful secret,
weren?t you?
I don?t have a shameful secret.
Share it with your good bro.
I already said I don?t have one!
You blew up again, Luo-shixiong.
Zhang You Tiao.
Leave my sight!
Calls me his bro everyday.
Does he really see me as a guy?
This kid.
He?s so annoying.
But
why is he always on my mind?
He?s obviously very disagreeable.
Annoys you to death, annoys you to death.
Luo Man.
You go into a daze 100 times per day.
Is there something bothering you?
Don?t keep it inside.
Tell me.
It?s nothing. You here to return books?
Just give them to me.
Boss, I?m answering the help wanted ad.
How unfortunate, young lady,
we?ve hired all we need.
Alright.
Boss.
Is all you need to do is
get first place to win a moped
in that activity posted outside?
Couples can enter?
Yes, that?s right.
Could you give me a flyer?
Sure, here.
Here you go.
Thanks, boss.
Luo-shixiong!
What do you want?
Treat me to a meal.
You promised.
Where?s the thing?
What thing?
The couple who wins this event
gets a moped.
Luo-shixiong,
you turned your head so fast.
You want to disguise ourselves as a couple and join?
We could win this
moped.
That?s right.
It?s such a good opportunity.
Think it over.
Okay, I?ll enter.
We could sell the moped
and split the money in half.
No. We can?t sell the moped.
Why not?
Then I?m not entering.
Go ask Xiu Qi.
Fine then.
I?m just afraid that super serious Xiu Qi
won?t agree to
lying in order to enter.
But I can tell him how
we can ride the moped to school and to work
to save on time and money.
He should agree then, right?
You?re right.
You can save a lot on bus fare.
I?ll just go find Xiu Qi then.
Hold on, hold on.
I?ll enter.
But promise that when we win, we?ll share it equally.
Okay?
Okay.
I really can?t right now.
Wait just a little while, okay?
But we?ve already
not seen each other for 10 hours and 36 minutes.
Wen Ting Ting,
you don?t miss me?
How can your heart be so cold?
I?m on my way to class right now.
Just wait a little bit.
Honey.
Going to class?
Alright then.
Wait, no...
You have to think of me during class.
Mm.
See you soon, honey.
Almost done with this piece.
What?s he looking at?
Xiu Qi.
What?s with the mysterious meeting?
Have you noticed?
Have you noticed
how weird Luo Man?s been acting lately?
Nope.
What?s up?
I found out that
Luo Man may have someone she likes.
What?
No way.
How?s that possible?
I hesitated about whether to tell you or not.
How did she tell you?
She didn?t tell me.
I discovered it on my own.
Even though you?re so close to her,
you weren?t aware of the difference?
Not at all.
What exactly is going on?
Luo Man?s been acting strangely for several days.
I noticed earlier
that she?s been dazing out and laughing suddenly without reason.
I was puzzled about the reason why.
But
finally, I understand.
Ting Ting?s class should be over.
I?ll surprise her.
She?ll definitely dance with happiness when she sees me.
Luo Man likes the librarian.
No way, no way.
How's that possible?
Why can't it be?
You don?t believe it,
then I'll take you to verify.
Let's go.
