[Episode Recap]
Do you know what's happening with Geng Geng?
She's about to get expelled.
On the last question of the physics exam
Class 5 scored higher than both Classes 1 and 2.
If it wasn't Mr. Zhang
then Geng Geng must have given you the question!
You're no longer their homeroom teacher.
Our whole class really likes Zhang Ping.
I'm sorry.
We want him to stay.
I stole the exam.
You guys... Why did you go see Mr. Pan for my sake?
- We have parent-teacher meetings? - Yeah.
I have something to do. I have to go.
You're scared of parent-teacher meetings too?
[With You]

What are you drawing?
I'm sketching nature.
Stop messing around. Do you even know how to write "sketching nature"?
Here, let me see.
What are you drawing?
You drew the ships too small by the shore
and drew the ones out at sea too big.
- You have to draw it like this. - I don't need you to teach me!
I'm quite happy drawing by myself.
What are you drawing for?
I want to be an artist when I grow up.
Let me tell you something. When I was your age
I drew much better than you. But I still can't be an artist.
That's you, not me.
In a few years, you'll know.
Your parents will only have you focus on your studies.
There's no point in drawing.
No, that won't happen. My mom will let me go to a fine arts middle school
and then I'll get into the China Central Academy of Fine Art.
Oh, China Central Academy of Fine Art?
Rui Rui, let's go.
My mom is calling for me. I have to go.
How great would it be if my mom was like that too.
[Episode 8: But his desk buddy is Geng Geng!]
Sis, why are you always reading?
Go out with your friends more.
Otherwise, how would any guy confess his love to you?
Why are you so smart?
Oh! Sis, buy the flowers.
The flowers will give you more points.
Go away. Go do your homework.
I finished it so long ago.
Is this what they call...
your "EQ being too low"?
Hey!
I'm thinking about parent-teacher meetings.
Should I have my dad or my mom go?
Yeah. No matter who goes, the end result will still be cruel.
I'm their biological daughter.
They wouldn't hit me, right?
No, I meant it's too cruel to your mom and dad.
You brat.
You're worried about the parent-teacher meeting too?
Me?
I'm ranked second in the class.
I'm not you.
[Hiring a temporary worker]
No, how can you do that?
It's a special situation. There's a party congress in the province.
I really can't leave.
What about Mom?
I asked. It seems she also has a meeting.
Why don't we have Auntie Qi go?
What's wrong?
- Do you have epilepsy? - You have epilepsy!
Guys, let's get the classroom ready and clean it up.
Oh yeah. Those who need to go get their parents, go ahead.
Please also arrange your desks.
And the chalkboard.
We need to write on the chalkboard in large letters.
[Hiring a temporary worker]
Little girl, you're looking for a worker?
I can use a computer and type.
I can do woodwork and paint.
I can do housework and cook.
You're looking for a temporary worker?
Gosh, really?
What's there to be nervous about?
You're not nervous?
Which of these two ties looks better?
You're going to wear a tie?
It'll make me look more mature.
Which one looks better?
This one?
That one is uglier.
This one is good.
You have to help me with one more thing.
Mr. Zhang, I'm here--
I'm here to get the transcripts.
On the table--
Don't move.
Hey! Stop moving.
Okay.
What are you listening to?
Something random.
You don't look too happy.
Neither my mom nor my dad can come to the parent-teacher meeting.
You sure are lucky.
Auntie Qi is coming.
So?
So the skeleton in my closet will be revealed.
I'll be so embarrassed when Auntie Qi sees my grades.
You can't stop a storm from coming.
What kind of response is that?
Shouldn't you be comforting me or helping me come up with a plan?
I wish my dad wouldn't come.
I fought with him again last night.
Does he also resent the fact that you don't do well?
Why would he? He's already used to it.
- Then-- - Geng Geng.
If I leave, will you miss me?
What's wrong?
Zhen Hua really isn't the right school for me.
I don't want to be here anymore.
You scared me to death! I thought you had a terminal illness.
So you want to transfer schools?
I want to go to a specialized art school.
In other words, you're leaving Zhen Hua so that you can do art.
Won't your dad kill you?
Life is truly valuable, but love is worth more.
If it's for freedom--
All right, I'm going to go fight for freedom.
Don't miss me too much.
What are you thinking about?
Your parents aren't here yet?
Jian Dan.
Why is my desk buddy Yu Huai?
Aren't you two good desk buddies?
You see, he's always at the top
and I'm always at the bottom.
We sit so close together, but we're so far apart.
Life is really unfair to me.
When you put it that way, I'm the same.
What? Why are you smiling so strangely?
Did a ghost possess you?
Why am I so smart?
I'm too smart.
What happened?
Jian Dan.
If we were desk buddies, it wouldn't be embarrassing anymore.
We have to do that.
Are you okay, Geng Geng?
So weird.
How about it? How about it? Can we? Can we?
Sure, as you wish.
What a great friend!
Geng Geng, have you seen Beta?
No. I haven't seen her all morning.
I need to answer this call.
Hello?
Jian Dan, have you seen Beta?
I don't know where she is either.
Buying meat?
What would you like? This one is fresh.
This is the pig's rear.
Sir, I'd like you to help me.
Help you with what?
Be my dad.
That's not appropriate.
Auntie Qi.
Geng Geng.
Your school is really beautiful!
It's so big. I almost got lost.
Yes, it's hard to find your way around.
- Your dad-- - You--
Your dad is really busy.
That--
Why don't you take me to your classroom?
Oh, okay. Let's go. This way.
Okay. It really is a big school.
I have a really good relationship with my desk buddy.
She's one of best friends. Her name is Jian Dan.
What's wrong?
[Geng Geng] [Yu Huai]
Mom, I sit here.
[Ten minutes earlier!] How about it? Can we?
Sure, as you wish.
What a great friend!
Han Xu, what did Geng Geng ask you earlier?
She said she wanted to switch seats with me.
- Hey, Jian Dan. - Huh?
What is it?
I need to discuss something with you. Let's switch seats later.
- Let me sit with Han Xu. - Huh?
Thanks.
So weird.
Geng Geng, this is your desk buddy, huh?
Hello, my name is Yu Huai.
So handsome.
I thought there would only be bookworms with glasses at Zhen Hua.
You're such an energetic young man.
Yu Huai, why don't you introduce your desk buddy?
Mom.
Hello, my name is Geng Geng. This is...
Oh, hello! I am Geng Geng's father's colleague.
Her parents are busy and couldn't come.
So they asked me to come to the parent-teacher meeting for them.
- Hello. - Hello.
Geng Geng, right?
I've heard Yu Huai mention that name before.
When I heard the name, I thought he was referring to a boy.
Mom, I'm going to leave.
Are you going home or are you going to wait until I'm done to go home together?
I'm going home.
You--
I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang!
- That was dangerous. - Woah.
What's wrong?
Wait!
You still haven't memorized it?
Don't I have to be responsible for you? I'll memorize it.
- You must not screw up. - Yes, don't worry.
Let me see.
Okay, let's go.
Mr. Zhang, don't be nervous later.
- Remain calm in the face of adversity. - Okay.
What are you laughing at?
You don't have to dress like that from now on.
It doesn't look good?
It does!
Thanks.
I'll compliment you a lot at the parent-teacher meeting later.
You rascal.
You secretly switched seats behind my back.
What? Are you embarrassed that I'm your desk buddy?
How can you say that?
Didn't you do the same thing?
We've shot ourselves in the foot.
What are you two doing?
Have they started yet?
- Not yet. - Not yet.
This is?
This is my dad.
- Dad! - Hello.
Hello.
These are two of my really good friends.
This is Geng Geng, one of my best friends.
This is Yu Huai.
He's a top student in our class. He's in the top three.
- Hello, hello. - Hello.
Dad, say a few words to them.
Say a few words to practice.
Hello.
Thanks for taking care of Bet-- Nian Nian at school.
You're being too courteous. We haven't done much.
With just one look, I can tell you're good kids.
You definitely have a bright future ahead of you.
You're at an important stage in life.
You must do well to get the most out of it.
Just like killing a pig.
You have to quickly hit it with a club to knock it out.
Then you bleed it out and shave it.
You do it all in one go, logically.
It's almost time to start. We'll go inside first.
Bye.
Do as we discussed.
I sit here, Dad.
How do you think I did just now?
Not bad.
But it's better that you talk less, watch more, and nod more later on.
Okay, I'll bear that in mind.
Good luck.
- Don't let the cat out of the bag. - Okay.
Beta's dad isn't as terrible as she described.
He's quite amusing.
You never know.
A lot of people behave completely differently in public than at home.
Say that again! You're going against me?
Haven't we talked about this?
I'm speechless.
Kids these days.
- I'm leaving. - Hey, what are you doing?
What are you acting all cool for?
Where did you learn to act all cool like this?
Little girl needs to catch up.
Little girl?
You mean you?
Every pot comes with a lid.
Little boy, don't get too cocky.
I don't know why
but seeing classmates I'm so familiar with bring their parents to school
gives me a strange feeling.
It's kind of like seeing another side of them, the side outside of school.
Hey, are you listening to me?
I'm listening.
What's with you?
Nothing.
I'm just a little troubled because of my mom.
You must be going through puberty.
No.
Then you must be moved by what I said just now.
What are you like outside of school?
I'm the same as at school.
Why don't you teach me to play basketball?
Play basketball?
Yes. You play so well.
Forget it. That isn't something you can learn in a day or two.
Besides, there's no basketball.
Wait.
Hey. Can I borrow your ball?
Thanks.
Yu Huai, look!
We have a ball now.
Teach me to shoot it into the hoop.
No, that looks so bad.
I don't want to shoot like that. I want to shoot like this.
It looks really good that way.
This hand supports the ball and aims it at the hoop.
It looks really good.
Jump and release.
Are you okay?
- I twisted my ankle. - Sit down first.
Is it here?
Does it hurt?
I'm fine.
Yu Huai is really good at his studies.
[Welcome Parents]
Hello, parents.
I am Class 5's homeroom teacher, Zhang Ping.
On everyone's desk, there is a transcript.
If you don't have one, you can ask me for one.
This is our class's first midterm.
Next, I'll do a simple analysis.
Who would you like to speak to?
You're at home?
Sis, I am.
There's no adult at home. What are you going to eat for dinner?
My grandmother is coming to pick me up.
That's good. I was worried you wouldn't have anything to eat.
Thanks, Sis. I'm doing my homework now.
Keep pretending, kid.
Be good. Bye bye.
Hey, how long have you been playing basketball?
Since elementary school.
When I first read "Slam Dunk"
it's been about five or six years.
No wonder you play so well.
It's because I have talent, okay?
There are a ton of people who have played for longer than I have.
Have you ever learned it formally?
It isn't something you have to learn. Interest is the best teacher.
Like when you solve a physics problem?
Physics?
Yeah. Whenever you get a physics problem, you can't put it down.
It's not that similar.
How is it not?
If I had to choose between physics and basketball
I'd probably choose physics.
Really?
Really.
We don't have any other paths to go down.
We can only get into good colleges if we do well on exams.
Only then can we do what we want to do.
Since we can't change the rules
we can only do our best.
I think that since you're so smart
if you just put a little more effort into other subjects
you'll definitely do really well.
We're not the same.
People like me think that after a test, nothing on it matters anymore.
- That's what you think? - Yeah.
The whole school's average score
is 5.7 points higher than Shiqi High School's.
Geng Geng seems like a sensible child.
Yes, she's quite sensible.
But her grades...
Was what you just said influenced by Lu Xing He?
What does it have to do with him?
Actually, sometimes I admire him.
He seems to despise everything but actually, he knows what he wants.
We're very similar in certain regards.
We both think that difficult paths must be crossed.
It's just that his way is too much like evasion.
That's the gist of the math midterm exam.
Studying math is really simple.
Preparing for the lesson before class
listening to the lecture, and reviewing after class.
Some students probably can't keep up.
Please help your child find the reason why.
See where the problem is.
All right. That's all from me for today.
That teacher looks young and didn't say much
but everything he said was reasonable.
Yes.
What Mr. Zhang said was pretty good.
Really. During my second year of middle school, I was at the bottom of the class.
How encouraging!
At the time, I thought that if Zhou Mo can do well in school
why can't I?
And then I discovered that studying wasn't that hard.
In other words, you participated in the physics competition because of Zhou Mo?
Not entirely.
After watching the competition for a while
I realized that physics really has its unique charm.
Whether it's making a bold inference about the future of the world
or determining details of an experiment
physics always adds to the greatest wisdom of mankind
and inspires an unlimited desire for knowledge.
Every success and failure adds to the possibility of changing the world.
And I know I'll be a part of this world in the future.
Every time I'm down and tired, I think about that
and get a renewed will to fight.
Of course, a more direct benefit is that
every time my mom nags me
I can take my grades out and stop her nagging.
When I think about what you said in geography class last time
it makes me want to rush home and do my homework, and study.
Do you regret coming to Zhen Hua?
No.
- Geng Geng. - Huh?
Let's keep being desk buddies.
Okay.
What are you two doing?
Did I disrupt you guys?
What are you talking about? We're just chatting.
Beta, why haven't you gone home yet? Are you waiting for your dad?
That's not my dad.
- What? - What?
How can you sever ties with your dad just because of a parent-teacher meeting?
No. That's a fake dad I hired from the market.
I was going to say, how could the first thing he says be about killing pigs?
I thought your surgeon father was using jargon.
Beta, you're really something.
I can't talk to you two anymore.
The parent-teacher meeting is probably over. I have to go.
Bye bye!
- Good luck! - Thanks!
So awesome.
Before we finish, I want to say one more thing to all of you.
We've all been through this age.
There are problems at this age
but your children also have passions and things they're after.
I hope you all
won't dwell too much on their success or failure in one or two tests.
You must think from your child's point of view.
Communicate with them from the heart.
These three years aren't just a time for your children to grow
it's also a time for me and all of you to grow with the kids.
Thank you, everyone.
Mr. Zhang, I'd like to say a few words.
You are?
I am Jiang Nian Nian's father.
Please go ahead.
I'm so touched to be able to attend this parent-teacher meeting.
To come to this school and see its vigor and style
and Mr. Zhang's accomplishments
it really lives up to its reputation.
Like Mr. Zhang just said
I think educating children is much like killing a pig.
Don't laugh.
Killing a pig isn't just about using strength and being fast with a knife.
If you just chop meat like this
you'll break your knife and have a bunch of bad meat.
You won't get the right results. Right, Mr. Zhang?
You must have the skill and find the crack in the pig's bone
and cut through it with your knife.
It's fast, saves labor, and won't break your knife. Isn't that right?
It's just like educating children.
We can't force what we think on them.
We must find the root of the problem
and then do what?
Then we guide them.
Mr. Zhang, isn't that right?
Yes.
[Occupation: Surgeon]
I have something to do. Why don't you leave first?
What do you have to do?
None of your business.
Oh! Your mom's going to give Zhang Ping a present and money, right?
Your mom's the one who's going to do that!
You're being so sneaky.
All right, just go home.
All right, I'll go home.
- Be careful crossing the street. - Okay.
I need to take a picture.
Be careful on your way home.
You even made a remark at the end?
Not only did I make a remark but I also got a lot of applause.
Okay, okay.
Oh, yes.
Never mind that.
Coming to Zhen Hua has left a deep impression on me.
When I have children in the future, I want them to come here.
You don't have children?
No.
Oh, okay, but we agreed on it. Thank you.
All right. Here.
Your grades aren't that good.
What are you doing? Are you a pervert?
What are you looking at?
- I'm waiting for my mom. - Yeah, right!
What do you mean, waiting for your mom?
I'm going to go over there now.
Mr. Zhang, how is Xu Yan Liang doing?
I just have one request of him.
To snack less and exercise more.
Everything else is okay.
Mr. Zhang, thanks for your hard work.
It's my job.
I have a question to ask.
Mr. Zhang, I am Yu Huai's mother.
- Hello. - Hello.
Yu Huai is great.
He's very independent in his studies, and very smart.
Don't worry.
Mr. Zhang, the reason I'm here to see you is
I was wondering if you could change his seat.
I'd like him to sit with a boy.
Mom!
Mrs. Yu, you're very traditional.
Mr. Zhang, you don't know.
He lied to me and told me his desk buddy was a boy.
He knows that I definitely wouldn't let him sit with a girl.
When he was in middle school, he and his desk buddy--
Mom!
Mrs. Yu, I understand.
Yes, at his age
if his desk buddy is a pretty girl, it could make parents worry.
But his desk buddy is Geng Geng.
It's okay.
Geng Geng, you haven't left yet?
We were just talking about you.
Since Geng Geng is here too
I'll tell you my point of view.
Yu Huai and Geng Geng are both good kids.
They know what they're doing.
As their homeroom teacher, I'll supervise and remove distractions. Don't worry.
Just as what Jiang Nian Nian's--
Jiang Nian Nian's father said, we have to use the right method.
Otherwise, you'll use a lot of energy and get the wrong result.
Thank you, Mr. Zhang.
I'll come discuss this with you another day.
It's not convenient for me to tell you the reason now.
Thank you.
Geng Geng, I'm not targeting you.
Don't blame me. You're a good kid.
I heard everything just now but I definitely won't tell anyone.
I'm a good friend, aren't I?
Do you think all those parents are mute?
I think what happened just now was quite interesting.
But it has nothing to do with you. Don't worry.
What's going on?
You want it to have something to do with you?
Don't think you're fine just because you hired a fake dad to come here.
You better hope everything works out for you.
You're only ranked in the 40s.
I know you gave it your best.
Gosh, that kid.
- Where are you going? - Just drive.
Geng Geng, right?
When I heard the name, I thought he was referring to a boy.
Then let's be desk buddies.
I'll help you.
He knows that I definitely wouldn't let him sit with a girl.
When he was in middle school, he and his desk buddy--
Mom!
You're a good kid. Don't blame me.
- I'd like to switch too. - Does she want to switch?
I do.
I'll come discuss this with you another day.
It's not convenient to tell you the reason now.
Yu Huai, do you know that
I actually really like...
being your desk buddy.
Geng Geng, let's keep being desk buddies.
Sir, can you drive slower?
What is it? You don't want to go home?
Little girl, just cry if you want to cry.
Sir, keep driving.
Please drive a 50 yuan route.
All right!
Yu Huai.
Can you talk to me?
Talk about what?
I really didn't know that Geng Geng was around.
I wouldn't have said it if I'd known.
What about Zhou Mo? What did you say to him?
I didn't say anything.
Zhou Mo called me last week.
I wasn't here, so you picked up.
You asked him about all these things at school.
You even told him to watch me so I wouldn't get too close to girls, right?
I was just saying that.
Can you stop being so annoying?
What did you say? Say that again.
I said you're annoying.
I'm annoying?
Do you know how much I worry?
Who is all of this for?
Look at my clothes.
How many years have I worn them?
Don't you think I want to wear new clothes?
Your father has been all alone in Africa all these years, working so hard.
He's trying to earn more money for this family
to ensure your future!
Who do your father and I live for?
It's all for you.
Do you know how worried we were
after what happened with you and your last female desk buddy?
After your father found out what happened
do you know how many days he couldn't eat or sleep?
He wouldn't let me tell you about it.
He won't let me tell you about any of his difficulties all these years.
If you go down the wrong path
we'd both fall apart and this family will be in ruins!
Yu Huai! Stay right there!
Yu Huai! Where are you going?
Come back here!
[Preview]
Waiting for him...
Why wait for him?
Excuse me.
Your mom is too much.
I heard all about it.
You two don't need to go through this cold war, okay?
Just make up already.
You're fighting with Yu Huai because of this, right?
We have the day off on Friday.
Every class has an optional autumn group outing.
- Yeah! - Yeah!
You can raise your hand if you don't want to go.
Did Yu Huai not come because he doesn't want to hang out with us?
I hope we can stay like this.
I like...
Who? Who?
You're an artist. I'm just an average person.
You're not average.
