[Episode Recap]
Mr. Zhang, I'll do the experiment with Xu Yan Liang.
I heard all about it.
Only Geng Geng could put up with it, not Chen Xue Jun.
Can I sit here?
You only stayed as my desk buddy because--
Because?
Yu Huai, you should know why.
You asked my girlfriend out here just to show her this?
Have you ever had a fight?
Are you still wet behind your ears?
You're an artist.
I'm just an ordinary person.
You're not ordinary.
You are...
I'm... Jiang Nian Nian's father.
[Occupation: Surgeon]
Sweep the floor for me.
If Mr. Zhang asks about me, just tell him I'm sick again.
- You're still hiding from him? - If I don't, I have to hide from my dad.
You can visit me at the hospital with shrimp crackers then.
[With You]

I was chatting on the phone.
- Jian Dan. - Yes?
Have you seen Jiang Nian Nian?
I haven't seen her...
Goodbye, Mr. Zhang.
Jiang Nian Nian!
Mr. Zhang.
Show her some mercy.
Long time, no see.
Mr. Zhang, you're still working overtime?
You really are devoted to your job.
Don't you have anything else to say to me?
No.
Mr. Zhang, I'm heading home to do my homework.
I need to talk to you. Let's go.
Come with me to the office.
Ouch! My stomach hurts...
Your stomach hurts?
Why don't I give you a ride home then?
I can make a house visit as well.
I'm much better now, Sir.
I'm much better already.
Let's go.
Don't bother acting.
Explain yourself.
Fine, I'll start.
First of all, you stole the exam paper.
You even distributed copies.
Secondly, not only did you not inform your parents about the meeting
but you even hired a fake dad to attend it.
Count it for yourself.
How many physics classes have you skipped?
But I have a reason for doing so.
My parents are simply too brutal and ruthless to me.
If they found out about it
my skin will surely be peeled off to cover the sofa!
If they never hear about it, wouldn't it just be great and--
What's with all these ifs?
Mr. Zhang, both my parents work in Beijing.
I'm left behind, so I count as the minority.
So...
I'm used to only reporting the good news, not the bad.
Besides, if you do call and tell them about it
please let me know in advance.
I'll eat more before I head home.
I know that you're quite smart.
But are you using your brains in the right place?
You'll have to take the entrance exam in Beijing sooner or later.
Indeed, it's a lot better there.
But you still have to take your mid-term and final exams.
From now on, whether or not you do well in exams
however you do in the exams, don't ever lie again.
All right?
As for the parents' meeting, you have to let them attend it.
I'll have a good chat with them.
I promise not to get you skinned alive, all right?
Okay?
Fine, head home now.
Mr. Zhang...
- What is it now? - That's it?
You want to be scolded more?
Are you still going to call my parents?
Call your parents?
I'll put my phone away for now.
Mr. Zhang, why are you so nice?
You're the nicest teacher I've ever met!
I'm grateful beyond words.
- I'll head home then? - Go home.
Thank you, Mr. Zhang.
Jiang Nian Nian.
Take this. Have it on your way home.
Thank you, Mr. Zhang.
[Episode 10: You're destined to a disastrous romance!]
Hello? What's up?
I'm at home.
Zhang Ping caught me today.
What? Really?
Yes.
Why are you laughing?
Are you out of your mind after Zhang Ping's scolding?
Geng Geng.
Do you think that Zhang Ping has a girlfriend?
I don't think that he has one.
What do you think is his type?
Why are you suddenly so concerned about Zhang Ping?
I'm not!
I'm not concerned! I'm just--
I'm too full and can't sleep.
I'm too bored.
Now, I really want to--
What do you want to do?
I want to study hard.
Study hard?
I want to reappear before everyone as a different Jiang Nian Nian.
Why don't we study hard together?
A different Beta?
I'll start anew starting tomorrow!
Dad likes dumplings with more meat and less vegetables.
That's because he made them himself.
I also like the soy milk that I make.
It's because even without soy beans, it still tastes of manual labor.
I'm just trying to make soy milk.
Geng Geng, you...
Go and get some more sleep.
- I'll make breakfast. - No!
This is the only path to the new chapter of my life.
From today, I will start afresh!
Those are all multiple choice questions.
I can tell the answers at a glance.
You got this wrong.
Yu Huai!
Can I copy yours?
What do you mean?
- I'll take it back. - No!
What's wrong with you today?
You're early.
Geng Geng, can you lower your voice?
"You have a good..."
Golden Rule No.5 to insanely good English.
The poorer your pronunciation, the louder you should speak.
Zhu Yao, why don't you read louder?
"Seattle to London."
"He's very tired."
"Did you sleep at all?"
Here, soy milk.
Thanks, but I had some this morning.
"No, not really."
Maltesers.
Here you go.
Madam, I'll have a set of this.
Guide to high school chemistry.
Why are you buying this?
What's wrong?
Didn't you say that you're starting anew by studying hard?
What I meant is different from what you're doing.
What's the difference?
- I'm serious. - Your change.
Keep the change.
I'll take a formula manual.
Did I drag you into trouble?
Not at all.
Voyage, in a place where dreams are built.
Here we are, in the campus of youth.
Geng Geng.
The session is almost over but you're still on the same page?
This question is actually--
Don't write it!
I'll solve it myself. I finally have some inspiration.
Okay.
There's so much homework left. Can you finish it at all?
Yeah, I'll work on it from 7 p.m. to midnight.
I'll take a 10-minute break every hour, so I'll have 50 minutes for each subject.
That should do, right?
Geng Geng, hurry up!
I forgot to tell you to leave without me.
I'll go home by myself later.
Why don't I wait for you?
Don't bother.
Really?
Yes, I can go home after I finish this question.
All right, I'll get going then.
You haven't spent time with me in so long.
You finally thought of me today?
Cut it out.
Where's Geng Geng?
She went home.
Zhou Mo, why would someone start studying like crazy all of a sudden?
Maybe they've lost it?
There's a saying.
"Failure in romance, success in exams."
Have you read through Sheng Huai Nan's notes?
I haven't had the time yet.
You have to lend it to me where you're done.
Sure.
The contestants in this year's academic competition are tough.
Many preliminary rounds were held
for the legendary Affiliated High School of Normal University.
Isn't it intriguing?
How about we play basketball?
No, thanks.
I'll go study at the library.
What is it?
- Sis. - What is it?
Do you have a lot of homework?
What are you trying to say?
My teacher asked me to copy a text 10 times today.
The math homework is quite hard too.
There's no way I can finish it all tonight...
You're not good at math either?
It's particularly hard.
But Sis, you'd definitely find it to be simple.
You want me to help you--
Sis, you're the best!
Hey! You--
Geng Geng, Beta is so strange these days.
What's wrong with her?
Is it so weird for underachievers like us to make an effort?
No... That's not what I mean.
Class Monitor, I think we should close our grade disparity.
Otherwise, our class will always come last in the grade rankings.
Even 10 kids like Yu Huai couldn't make up for one underachiever.
Zhu Yao, how can you say that?
What's wrong with underachievers?
They didn't drag our grades down.
That's what you say.
Quiet down.
Before we begin class, I'd like to talk to you about something.
In order to improve the friendship and harmony between classmates
as well as to have you relax apart from studying hard
the school has decided to let you take Friday off.
Students may plan a field trip for this fall.
Mr. Zhang, can we not participate?
Although it isn't mandatory I still hope everyone can participate.
After all, this is Class 5's first class activity.
Exactly!
Who wouldn't want to have fun?
That's right!
If there's anyone who really doesn't want to participate
you can raise your hand.
Zhu Yao? Is there anyone else?
I'm participating in the physics contest.
All right, since no one wishes to take part in the field trip
- then we'll have class as usual. - Mr. Zhang! Why did you ignore me?
- I raised my hand. - But no one else did.
You can't cancel it just because only a few want to take part.
Haven't you heard that majority rules?
No.
Fine, I'll go with you.
I don't like to hike.
I don't want to visit museums.
It's best not to go to parks either.
All right, I'll choose the location.
- Geng Geng-- - Geng Geng!
My best friend.
You won't turn me down, right?
What is it?
Come with me to Zhang Ping's office to ask a question.
Sure, I have a question for him too.
But you have to come with me to fill up my tumbler first.
Yu Huai, lend me a hand.
When we get to his office, just say that you have questions.
Don't ask any dumb questions.
Don't you have questions to ask too?
- Geng Geng. - Dad.
Physics?
This...
You got this line wrong.
Don't worry.
Your mom and I went through your report card.
We've discussed it.
At the moment, you need to work on math, literature, and English.
When you move up to 11th Grade, you can just focus on liberal arts.
All right, I'll...
I'll let you study.
I won't disturb you.
- Is everyone here? - Yes!
- Yes, we're all here. - Mr. Zhang.
Let's go then?
Mr. Zhang?
I'm going to the library with Zhou Mo.
Sure.
Goodbye, Sir.
Goodbye.
Let's go. Get on the bus.
Let's go!
Hop on.
Mr. Zhang... you want to take this?
You don't want to get on?
- Why don't we take mine? - If not, you can get back to class.
- Sit tight! - Let's go!
Should we share this?
Beta, look. This is all for you.
Why are you so nice to me?
Nectarine?
- Yes. - That's my least favorite.
It's okay. I have other snacks.
Dried candied haw?
I don't like anything sour.
Spicy crackers?
Don't you know it's made of plastic?
I made you a sandwich.
I know you don't like egg yolks, so I added three egg whites.
We're classmates after all.
Can't you be nicer to me?
Look, I'm so nice to you!
Explain this question to me.
Does it even need explaining?
I didn't choose to snuggle up with my desk buddy with the big boobs.
I chose to pull through thick and thin with you, buddy.
As if.
Don't think I don't know that no one in your class wanted a field trip.
What? No one in my class wanted one?
Not everyone in my class is a nerd.
We also have... lively and cute classmates...
Do you think she's older?
Mr. Zhang, what kind of transport is this?
You might as well take my scooter.
I haven't scolded you yet.
You ride your scooter to school every day.
It's good enough for getting to school.
You're studying for your own sake, you know?
I don't think I can learn much here anyway.
Why do you like to draw then?
It's because I appreciate beauty.
Colors and art composition are beautiful.
- It's prettier than math and science. - It's prettier than math and science?
Kid, that only shows how ignorant you are.
Keep up!
Mr. Zhang, let's stop hiking up.
Why don't we take the gondola?
No way! How is it hiking if we take the gondola?
Mr. Zhang, I support you.
We're here to hike today, so we should keep walking.
Exactly. Well said, Jiang Nian Nian.
I also think that... we should hike up the mountain.
I only suggested taking the gondola for the sake of those who can't take it.
I'm fine with it.
Well... Everyone!
Since you're all tired, sit and rest for a while.
Han Xu.
What do you have in your bag?
It's food.
Have you brought all your pots and bowls?
No, it's just snacks.
Share some with us.
It's just some snacks!
- Give us some food. - No!
These are all Han Xu's favorite.
You can't have any unless he's hungry.
Han Xu, are you hungry?
- He said he's hungry. - He's hungry.
I told you that Jian Dan puts boys before friends.
Am I not the better friend?
You're more righteous than she is.
Did Yu Huai miss out on the trip because he doesn't want to join us?
It's not like that.
Isn't he taking part in the academic contest soon?
How would he have time for this?
Oh...
You know it so well, huh?
Everyone does!
There are trees on the mountain.
There's also grass.
Did you take a photo?
What were you looking at?
I... I was looking into the distance.
Mr. Zhang.
- Yes? - Do you like hiking?
I do.
As a kid, I used to run around with the children in my village.
I went up the mountains and into rivers.
I did it all day without feeling tired.
I'm just like you!
- I especially love to hike! - Really?
I... I like it as well.
Then... We can arrange--
Activities like this.
Exactly!
You can only study well if you're in good health.
Where on earth are you taking me?
Are we there yet?
I'm taking you to admire beauty.
[University of Shanhai for Science and Technology]
Geng Geng, you snuck a photo of me!
I didn't see you!
- Geng Geng, you-- - I swear I'll never say a word!
- My stomach really hurts-- - Ah!
It's Beta!
Let's go!
What happened?
Don't be scared! I'm here!
Don't be scared!
It's still moving!
Throw it away quickly!
- Do you know how many germs it has? - Do you have a heart? It's dying!
How can I throw it away?
It's dying and you still touched it?
- It's hurt. - Exactly!
It really is hurt. Look.
Why don't you hold it?
What should we do?
Nice to meet you.
I'm Zhou Mo. I'm from Class 2 in 10th Grade.
I've long heard of you, but it's nicer to meet you.
That's too rigid.
Gorgeous...
- Let's be friends. - Too flighty.
Have we met somewhere?
- You look so familiar. - Too old-fashioned.
You can't come up with any tricks.
Hey, is my hair okay?
But not your face.
It's still better than yours.
Where are you hurt, birdie?
What are you still doing here?
- Mr. Zhang! - Mr. Zhang!
Mr. Zhang!
Beta... found a bird.
Mr. Zhang, this bird is injured.
I want to bring it home.
You must look after it properly then.
Won't it do more harm if it dies in our care?
I'll definitely look after it and feed it well.
Class, we should get going quickly.
Or it'll be dark by the time we leave.
- Yes! - Yes!
- I... - Let's go.
Hold on, Geng Geng.
Hold it for me. Mr. Zhang!
Beta!
Little birdie.
You're the only one keeping me company now.
Mr. Zhang! That was so loud. Didn't you hear it?
Kid, don't make a fuss about nothing.
Is Xu Yan Liang chubby?
- He's chubby! - He's chubby!
Have a banana.
I'll help myself.
Back in my hometown
it's said that if you shout your wish down this mountain
it will surely come true.
Mr. Zhang, are you from a previous century?
Who still believes in such stories?
This is why I don't like talking to you.
Why are you so dull?
It isn't really a superstition.
It's more of a nice way to express your wishes.
I hope that I can have a perfect score in math!
I want to attend university in Beijing!
I must confess my love!
I want to lose weight!
What's going on?
Maybe she wants a white watch? (Sounds like "confess.")
I wish we could always stay like this!
- That's it? - Yes!
That's not very shocking?
Tell us a mind-blowing wish then.
Exactly.
I like--
Who is it?
Zhang Ping.
- Zhang Ping? - What?
It can't be the Zhang Ping we know.
I knew it!
No wonder you're acting all weird these days.
That's really shocking.
But why?
Don't you find Zhang Ping super handsome in his white shirt?
Wow!
This must be the CIA's lab.
Kid, this is just a chemistry experiment.
Wow...
- Is this seat taken? - No.
Do you often hit on girls so casually?
Not that often.
[Guide to Photography]
This is so tiring!
Sir, please wait a minute.
It's fate that led us to cross paths today.
I have some advice for you.
Would you care to listen to it?
Mr. Zhang, what is it?
It's nothing.
I... I don't believe in such things.
Class, let's get ready to head down the mountain.
- Sure! - Okay!
Go ahead.
Sir, what was our teacher going to say to you just now?
He's destined to a disastrous romance.
Is that so?
What about me?
I don't tell kids' fortunes.
I have money.
The three of us--
25 yuan.
Just make it 20 yuan!
Hurry up. 25 yuan it is, then.
Just how badly do you want your fortune told?
Who wants to go first?
Go on.
Before you turn 26, you'll encounter many obstacles.
You were raised by your dad?
But you do have some dumb luck.
You always manage to turn things around.
So accurate.
You're destined to a disastrous romance.
A disastrous romance?
There will be no end to the love, hate, and grudges.
The path diverges ahead in unpredicted directions.
Young lady, it's best to put an end to it soon.
To gain is to lose.
To lose is to gain.
Loss or gain, the outcome can only be determined when the time comes.
All right, you're almost done.
- Sir-- - Tell mine.
Tell my fortune.
I'd like to ask about marriage.
I have to answer a call.
Her boyfriend just called.
What are you laughing at?
My heart's broken!
You were just in love for a few minutes!
I still put my heart and soul into it.
Goodness... I can't bring it up.
It hurts to talk about it...
You had better die from the pain!
Who's dying from the pain?
Let's play basketball.
You can stop working your brains, and I, my heart.
Forget it. I'm not done studying.
You're not done studying?
Look at that Sudoku you're working on.
Tidy up. I'll wait for you.
How was it?
It was all right.
You like Japan, right?
Japan? It's quite nice.
Look, a lot of people particularly dislike Japan.
But some idolize them.
They always think that other countries are better.
Which side are you on then?
Neither.
I don't know much about the country.
That's why I really want to visit Japan.
I'd like to see what that amazing country is like.
It's the same with many matters.
If we don't know anything about it, it's not our place to voice an opinion.
It's just like you.
You say that you don't like math and science.
- That's because-- - I'm full.
Let's go.
Hey...
I'm not done talking yet.
I'm really worn out today.
If it weren't for Zhang Ping, I would've taken the gondola.
Same here!
Han Xu walks really fast. I can't keep up with him.
I'm better off alone.
I can run or walk as I please.
If you don't like your desk buddy, we can switch.
No.
Exactly. Why stay mad at him if you're so concerned?
I'm not mad at him.
Do you feel upset because you think he doesn't care about you?
I don't know either.
That's what it's like to fall for someone.
No matter what he does, I feel upset for no reason.
For example...
"How can he treat me like this?"
"Has he considered my feelings?"
Seriously, it's because you like him
that it doesn't seem to matter, however upset you are.
If Zhang Ping makes you work on 10 revision papers, would you do it?
Yes! I can always ask him if there's a problem, right?
I just don't get it.
Why would you fall for Zhang Ping?
Destiny?
I think that if you like someone, you have to make the effort.
Whatever he does...
you'll feel happy as long as you made an effort for him.
What is this?
Although you didn't attend the field trip
you were still on our minds.
Where were you?
I'm right here!
Why did you bring a bird back from the field trip?
It's very pitiful.
It was alone in the woods without anyone to help it.
Didn't you guys save it?
But we still put it in a cage after we rescued it.
It was probably better off in the past.
Be it out in nature or the woods, at least it's still alive.
It has more freedom in the sky and more comfort in the cage.
Since I've consoled you, why don't you do my chores today?
Hey! Are you kidding?
Birdie, I'm here to feed you.
Are you a baby swallow?
Honestly, Geng Geng, you really are an angel.
I've always been very caring.
If compassion could turn into intelligence...
you'd win the Nobel Prize.
Don't forget to do my chores for me!
You--
What are Sheng Huai Nan's notes doing here?
Who is Sheng Huai Nan?
You don't even know that?
The genius in 11th Grade.
Top in the school, he's very competitive.
Oh...
I guess he lent it to Yu Huai?
It's best you don't go through it.
Come on!
Didn't you flip through it too?
That's because I get along with him.
Geng Geng, what's with this dramatic preparation?
It's necessary.
Math and I are strangers.
It's always good to be polite.
I'll let you both chat then.
Honestly, Geng Geng, you really have improved.
Does anyone offer compliments with that expression?
Geng Geng, you've done so well on your review tests.
Really?
I mean it.
Here is a gift from I, the Royal One.
My dear Officer Geng, kneel and accept the decree.
What is this, Eunuch Yu?
Just take it.
Yes, Your Majesty.
It suddenly came to my mind and there was a blank notebook
so I took some random notes for you.
Haven't you been busy preparing--
I was just resting my brain.
It isn't much work anyway.
That's all there is to functions in 10th Grade math.
A lot of it isn't in the textbooks.
Just use it as a guide when you're studying.
Judging by your IQ, you won't understand it at a glance.
It's still better to...
You're more suited to the pet-training sort of mentoring.
Thank you.
Geng Geng, what's wrong with you?
Poems might be beautiful.
But haven't you realized that
the formulas in chemistry can also be beautiful?
You might not think that exams mean much.
That's because we're from two different worlds.
Who says we're from different worlds?
Mr. Pan!
I have a question about chemistry.
[Preview]
Give it back!
Who are you to take my cell phone?
You're invading my privacy!
It was just a text message!
Who are you to do that?
Wow! You make it seem so easy!
Geng Geng!
Do you know?
I'm willing to do anything for you.
I can't hold back what I want to say to you.
I don't know him very well.
Why did he confess his love for you then?
What does Yu Huai think?
Lu Xing He is relentless in clashing with Yu Huai.
Have you finished your homework?
But he's a lot manlier than you for doing that yesterday.
Yu Huai, what are you doing?
