[Episode Recap]
It's your birthday soon, what is Yu Huai getting you?
You're supposed to say you'd like anything I get you.
Geng Geng won't answer her phone and she still hasn't shown up.
What if she was in an accident?
You have to choose between liberal arts and science classes in the 11th grade.
From this day forth, if I ever choose the liberal arts
my name won't be Beta anymore.
If you find science classes difficult, just come study liberal arts.
My parents and the rest of my family hope that I can study liberal arts.
Jiang Nian Nian.
Let's go.
Don't you have anything else to say?
No.
[With You]

The volleyball match is tomorrow.
For whatever reason, I've practiced a lot for the match.
I've also improved a lot.
Whether we win or lose
I'm happy that I got to spend time with Beta and the others.
Not everything is about the result.
It's the process that should be cherished.
Geng Geng!
Is this how you play volleyball?
Geng Geng!
Are you okay?
You're bleeding!
Tissues? Who has tissues?
I have tissues!
Don't move.
We'll avenge you!
[Episode 17: Whoever dares to lay a finger on my woman, he (she) is dead.]
Just you wait. I'll beat Zhou Mo to a pulp.
Those girls he trained must be transgendered!
They have bigger muscles than I do!
They dare to lay a finger on my woman.
He must be sick of living.
The bleeding seems to have stopped.
Wipe your face.
Go on, laugh. I don't blame you.
I know I look really ugly right now.
I think you look quite good.
What are you doing?
What do you think?
Don't I take good photos?
If you click forward, there are photos of the match.
I never noticed before, Geng Geng.
You actually look pretty cool when you play volleyball.
What's wrong?
Did they hit you silly?
Seriously. Why did you try so hard today?
See?
You're even hurt, you're the only one in pain.
Stop crying.
You're already not that pretty, crying just makes you look ugly.
Stop crying.
It doesn't mean much even if we win the match.
But I'm not trying to work hard for the result.
I just want to cherish the process.
Cherish the last time we--
With everyone...
I want to cherish the feeling of trying my best with the class.
So what if we're divided into different classes?
We're still a team.
Don't worry. I'll never abandon you.
Stop crying. Be good.
- Jian Dan. - Yes?
What year did the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, establish the Qin Empire?
Can you not spoil our appetites during lunch?
To top the ranks in the liberal arts focus
we need to start fresh.
I think it was 211 A.D.
No, was it more like 212 A.D?
It's 212, right?
It's 221 B.C.
This is your punishment.
Okay, next question.
The longitude that differentiates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
I give up.
20 degrees west and 160 degrees east of the longitude.
Yes, it's 20 degrees west of the longitude.
All right, eat up. Have this.
Students focusing on liberal arts lose their hair, so you two eat up.
Thanks, Empress.
Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns.
Emperor Yao, Shun, and Yu's abdication.
Xia Shang Dynasty and Western Zhou...
Eastern Zhou is divided into two.
Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Era...
Qin was reunited and Han split into two.
Divided into three--
What's that?
It's a secret. Only passed down to women, not men.
Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns.
Emperor Yao, Shun, and Yu's abdication.
The Opium War...
What was the first unequal treaty that China signed?
What a coincidence.
- This is the one. - I want one too.
This one? Okay.
Continue.
I have exact change. Can I pay first?
- Done. Let's go. - Let's go.
[High School Physics Fully Explained]
Who gave me this?
Who knows? It could be a surprise from anyone.
I'm so envious.
You even got free revision books.
They're toying with me, aren't they?
You know something about this, don't you?
- Impossible. - I swear.
- Who gave me this? - I did.
I saw that you've been studying really hard recently.
I just want to encourage you.
I don't mean anything else.
I just think that you might need it.
There's a lot I need, why don't you just give me money then?
Xu Yan Liang, I really want to see what your brain is made of.
Have you ever seen anyone give revision books as gifts?
Don't you think that Beta has been very relaxed with her studies lately?
- How nice. - I think this one is useful.
We have to work hard.
You're teasing me, mocking me, and looking down on me.
You think that I can't study well.
What do you mean "I think" that?
Say that again?
You mean I really am bad at studying?
Geng Geng, are you tired?
Here, take a break.
Soon. I'll take a break when I finish the last two questions.
Although I don't know what you think...
Just seeing how driven you are in your studies now
I fully support you in studying liberal arts.
I don't ask for much.
I just hope that you can be happy with your studies.
I got it.
I'll leave you to finish your homework. I won't disturb you.
Hello?
I have an exam tomorrow.
Are you so nervous that you need comforting?
No, I just wanted to hear your voice.
Hello, I'm Geng Geng.
I'm Lu Xing He.
Do your best tomorrow.
I finally get to hear you say that.
What's so difficult about hearing that?
Lu Xing He, do your best!
You can do it!
You do your best too.
All right, time's up.
Xiao Xiao from Class 7, 12th grade
has come in first in the National Olympiad in Informatics.
He has been admitted to Tsinghua University.
Wu Tong from Class 6, 12th grade
has passed the minority language admission exam
and has been admitted to Beijing University's Arabic Department!
Last but not least, Lu Xing He from Class 2, 10th grade
has gained early admission to the best fine arts university!
He's the pride of Zhen Hua High School!
Lu Xing He?
I heard it too!
He's a bit remarkable.
Geng Geng, have you heard?
Lu Xing He has returned.
So?
Why don't you look happy about it?
Why should I be happy?
Isn't he your good friend?
Yes, Headmaster.
There are relatively fewer 12th-graders recommended early admission.
But the mock exam scores are still pretty good!
Sure, no problem.
Headmaster, let me know if you have any questions.
Goodbye.
You've returned?
Here, let me take a good look at you!
I'm here to quit school.
You're just leaving like this?
Now that you're leaving... I'm a bit reluctant to let you go.
When you first got here, I knew it at a glance.
You have the potential to do well!
Really?
Let's not bring up the past.
Look at you now. How great!
I'm happy for you!
Oh right, this is for you.
For me?
You brought this especially for me?
You're too polite!
Good! This is art!
This is what art is!
Lu Xing He, I can see it.
You'll surely do well!
You'll make Zhen Hua High School very proud!
Sir, I have other matters to handle. I'll get going.
Good, this is really good.
What did he paint though?
Geng Geng! Lu Xing He is looking for you.
Let's go. I'll take you somewhere.
Where are we going?
I'll treat you to dinner.
Here? You're so generous!
In your dreams! The only place to park is in the front!
Please come in.
We're here just to eat this?
"Just this" place?
If I hadn't booked it, we'd have waited for three days.
I miss their spicy stir-fried clams so much.
[Academic Focus: Sciences]
Can I have another serving of this?
Sir, another serving of spicy cuttlefish and braised pork, thanks!
This is so good.
It's ready!
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
You're acting really strange today.
Eat more, don't imagine things.
Are you afraid to tell me about some bad news?
If I had bad news, you'd be the first to know.
You said it.
You like this place that much?
Yes, it's because I have many friends here.
Little fish, shrimp, rats, and frogs.
I don't believe you.
You don't? I'll show you.
Are you crazy or what?
What is it? You're angry?
Lu Xing He, I think you're really strange today.
You brought me here...
What are you trying to tell me?
I actually want to tell you...
I passed the admissions exam.
I'm leaving!
I know.
That's great!
You can finally leave this place.
This time, I won't be coming back.
Congratulations.
You're finally free.
I can tell that you can't bear to see me leave.
I've asked myself so many times.
Why exactly did I fall for you?
I thought about it for ages and I finally figured it out.
I just like you. There's no reason.
That's the answer.
Why are you at it again?
Just let me say it one last time.
If I don't, I won't get another chance to say it.
Why do you look so glum?
Let's go.
Why have you come out?
I was just bringing the food. You should be studying.
I can't focus. Go rest. I'll take it.
You can't focus?
You didn't put your heart into it.
Have some meat.
Have some. You should have more meat.
Oh, right. Mom...
I heard today that a senior was recommended for early admission
into Beijing University's minority language department. It's great.
That's just from the first stage of early-admission recommendation.
I heard that many more were admitted through the entrance exam.
Eat.
Our teacher also said that...
That it's also good to study liberal arts.
We could still get into Tsinghua or Beijing University.
Plus, it's less competitive.
Don't bring this up again.
I already told you that you can't.
I know what you're up to.
So...
I really can't let you take one wrong step.
- But Mom-- - But what?
Can you give me a good reason for you to study liberal arts?
Mom, what's wrong?
Don't worry. Eat up and get back to studying.
Eat up. Quickly.
Geng Geng!
Thanks for making my year at Zhen Hua so happy.
If you miss me after I'm gone, don't forget to tell me.
Did you draw this?
Did you do this?
Geng Geng, goodbye! I'll miss you!
I'll miss you very, very, very much!
[I hope that you can stay as happy as you are at 17. Lu Xing He.]
[Wish you all the best. Until we meet again.]
Let's go have some fun.
Let's celebrate you two cowards betraying me for liberal arts.
Okay. Is it just the three of us?
And Han Xu.
That traitor Han Xu invited Xu Yan Liang along too.
We're off to have fun. Cheer up!
Let's have dinner first.
Then we can watch a movie or something.
Let's watch a movie!
There's "House of Flying Daggers."
I heard it wasn't good.
It took Zhang Zi Yi ages to finally die.
Geng Geng, what do you think?
I think anything is fine.
Gorgeous ladies.
I heard that you're going to the movies? Is that right?
Why don't you take me?
You're not in our class, why should I invite you?
I'm not in--
He is. He's in your class.
Considering my friendship with him, I'm like half your classmate.
Then just ask if your next of kin consents.
Yu Huai, take him with you.
Forget it. I'm going to the library.
Plus, my mom isn't well, I'm going to check on her.
Can't you read some other day?
It isn't like the library is closed tomorrow.
I know your mom isn't well.
It would actually be easier on your mom if you don't eat at home tonight.
Is that something you should say?
I'm done talking to you.
I'll talk to Jian Dan.
Please take me to the movies with you?
Whose kid is this? He insists on coming.
Beta, look at him!
Mommy, why don't you recognize me?
Stop!
Let's take my nephew too!
Sure!
Yu Huai, my buddy, you must join us.
The exam is over. Why shouldn't we?
Exactly. Yu Huai, just join us.
Okay.
Where are we going for dinner?
Hurry up.
Follow me.
Sure!
How did your exams go?
I don't know.
Hurry up! Jiang Nian Nian, hurry up!
Goodness... We're coming!
Why is my beef burger taking so long?
I shouldn't have tagged along.
You should have ordered a sandwich.
Yours is too much work.
Han Xu, can you smile?
Let's go. We'll eat somewhere else.
- What's wrong? - What is it?
We'll eat somewhere else. Go!
Why?
Yu Huai.
We were lining up just fine at that restaurant.
Why did we have to come here?
I was standing in line
when a man holding a kid cut ahead of me.
I reasoned with him but he wouldn't listen.
Even the waiter spoke up for him.
- Why should I eat there? - All right.
Let's not dwell on it, we aren't too hungry anyway.
We'll just have a bite.
Precious Jian Dan.
I'm not being difficult.
But I've brought all of you with me, so I should take responsibility!
It's maternal instinct, okay?
All right, I got it.
If it were just me, I could make do with Oreos.
Does eating Oreos really turn your poop black?
Shut up.
Are you sick?
Zhou Mo, why would you say that about Xu Yan Liang?
Don't you know?
If you go home and eat five donuts
your poop will turn into the Olympics logo.
All right, let's order quickly.
We're going to the movies soon.
Go ahead and order.
Yu Huai, how did you work out the last question?
I listed three possibilities.
It's bigger than one, smaller than one
or equals to one.
I still don't know what you're saying.
Only "House of Flying Daggers" at 3:30 p.m. is available?
We can only watch Zhang Zi Yi's lingering death, okay?
That's good. Zhang Zi Yi is pretty.
You're all in pairs.
I'm the only third wheel here.
Have you considered my feelings?
Don't join us then.
Please give us six tickets for "House of Flying Daggers" at 3:30 p.m.
Thank you.
No...
Take me with you.
Seven tickets, please.
We're the only ones here!
Comrades, please pick whichever seats you'd like.
Where do you want to sit?
Anywhere will do.
The place is packed.
This is the only spot left.
Can I sit here?
Sit then.
This may be the last time you sit on my right.
Geng Geng... Please understand.
If I were to create an opportunity for you and Yu Huai right now
I'd be forced to date Xu Yan Liang.
I heard that this film is quite scary.
Don't be scared.
I'm here for you.
You're not to pull out this knife.
It has another meaning.
I order you to return as an agent again.
It's easier to explain to them if you've been stabbed.
I don't believe that the three years I waited for you--
I waited three years for you...
It doesn't mean as much as the three days he waited for you.
How touching.
If someone quietly waited for you like this...
and waited for three years.
By the third year...
would you be moved by him?
Why... why doesn't she answer me?
Did she not get what I'm trying to say?
Xiao Mei!
Xiao Mei...
Xiao Mei.
You shouldn't have returned...
I've returned... for the sake of one person.
It really wasn't good.
There were so many fighting scenes.
I couldn't even sleep well.
I think you slept quite well.
What did you say?
I'm heading home.
Why don't we go to the karaoke?
We can get some rest too.
Why are you going home so early?
What's more, we might not get to see each other next semester.
We might never see each another again.
No way, no one can leave.
This might be our last get-together.
Okay, none of us will leave.
Which karaoke are we going to?
Which karaoke?
Let's figure it out on the way, okay?
No!
How can we discuss it on the way? That's too casual. Decide now.
Whatever. We can sing on the side of the road.
No! No, I don't want to think about you again!
What do you want to sing? I'll put it in for you.
Anything's fine.
It's no fun to just sing.
Let's liven things up.
Why don't we order some beer?
It's not a good idea to drink now.
But it should be okay if we only drink a bit, right?
No way, I'm your class monitor.
How can I let you break school rules?
High School Regulation Number Six.
No smoking or drinking.
Xu Yan Liang, why are you such a party pooper?
Are we drinking or not?
- Let's drink! - Let's drink!
Geng Geng, why are you so cool today?
Even Geng Geng agreed to it.
- We must have some beer! - Exactly!
Xu Yan Liang, the majority rules.
How about I go and get the beer?
We just want to liven our spirits.
If we smell of alcohol, we can just chew some gum.
I'll get the beer.
Get back here! I'll do it.
This is the first time that Xu Yan Liang has acted so cool!
I don't think you can get drunk from non-alcoholic beer.
Friends are for life. Those days are...
Xu Yan Liang, I never thought that you'd really do it.
Bottoms up.
Geng Geng.
What do you want to sing?
What did you say?
What do you want to sing, Geng Geng?
Anything will do.
If you want to sing, just tell me.
I'll put in the songs for you.
Why bother shouting across the room, huh?
I'll do it.
Han Xu, I'll pick a song later, let's sing it together, okay?
Sure.
Zhou Mo!
You already sang three songs!
Are you hogging the mic?
- Give it to me. - No!
Geng Geng and Yu Huai haven't even sung one song!
No, listen.
If I sing, it's like Yu Huai is singing.
If Yu Huai sings, it's like Geng Geng is singing.
So they have both sung.
- No... What are you doing? - Cut off the song.
Jian Dan, this song is yours. Go on!
I'll sing.
Are you okay?
All right, have some water.
Yu Huai, it's your signature song.
Quickly. Here, sing.
I put in this song for Geng Geng.
Jian Dan, the microphone.
Geng Geng, go sing it.
Hurry up.
[Good Time Live]
I always believed there's hope.
When I look back, the past seem so unreal.
Don't be too sad for this world.
I'll have it in a shot.
You can drink as much you like.
Bottoms up!
- Jiang Nian Nian! - What?
- I think that you're particularly-- - Bottoms up!
Great!
Everyone... Quiet down!
Listen up.
You two...
you didn't even tell me before you chose liberal arts.
You've abandoned me.
You think I don't know why you did it?
Isn't it all because of Yu--
We're not transferring to another school.
Right, Jian Dan?
We'll still be on the same floor.
It's not like we won't see each other.
Jian Dan...
You attend Zhen Hua for him.
Why can't you stay in Class 5 for his sake too?
And you.
Why can't you stay for him?
To hell with grades.
I don't want to leave you either.
Do you think I want to study liberal arts?
I just... It's just that...
I can't bear to leave all of you either.
I can't bear to leave you!
It doesn't matter where you go!
You'll always be from Class 5!
Shouldn't we take a photo to remember such a touching moment?
The thing is, who will take the photo?
Isn't it obvious?
You're the only outsider!
It has to be you!
Exactly!
Me?
Hurry up!
Sit.
Don't just sit there. Make a pose.
Okay, one, two, three!
That winter, I had a bird.
A bird called Xiao Hua.
- My Xiao Hua-- - All right, let it go free!
Slow down! My goodness.
There won't be anyone else who's as nice to me as you are.
Be careful.
Hold on... How did you all get drunk from this?
Don't worry.
They already took a taxi home.
Let's go. I'll walk you home.
I still prefer summer.
Me, too.
I think...
If the world comes to an end one day
it definitely won't be in summer.
Summer makes me blindly believe that even if I keep wandering the streets
without going home, and after having some beer...
then I don't have to do my homework or study for exams.
You don't have to worry about me.
You're so carefree.
Summer is enough to heal you?
It's not just summer. There's you--
You guys.
Well...
I'll just walk you till here.
What is it?
Do you think I should choose liberal arts or science classes?
You should choose for yourself.
This concerns your future.
I'm asking you.
I've already chosen liberal arts anyway.
You can tell me.
I can't persuade you to study the sciences.
Or liberal arts.
Because I know that I can't affect your future because of selfish reasons.
If I stop you from doing what I know is good for you...
I'm sorry. I can't do that.
Do you want me to choose liberal arts?
Geng Geng, guess what?
An absurd idea once came to my mind.
Since you can't study the sciences, I might as well study liberal arts.
I'm so smart anyway.
I might even do better than you.
I don't know why that idea suddenly came to me either.
But it's just a thought.
I know it's too late to tell you that now.
It can't change anything.
Anyway... Geng Geng, do your best.
You should go in now.
[9/1/2004: The Beginning of 11th Grade]
What's your name?
Huang Shuai.
Huang Shuai? Take that seat then.
You should take your old seat.
- What's your name? - Bei Ling.
Bei Ling...
Take the seat in front of Jian Dan--
I mean across and right from Han Xu.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
Jiang Nian Nian!
Beta.
Did you watch Liu Xiang's match?
He's so awesome!
Yu Huai.
May I sit next to you?
You... Why are you here?
What is it?
Are you too used to coming to this classroom?
So you entered the wrong classroom?
I actually changed my mind last minute
to take science classes in Class 5, with my friends.
How about that? Is it okay?
Sure.
[Preview]
- What's your name? - Bei Ling.
Don't you think Bei Ling is really fake?
Since when do you know her so well?
We're in the same study group.
I actually think that Bei Ling is really nice. I mean it.
We're all classmates.
Let's get to know each other.
Don't we already?
Why again? Is that necessary?
You're playing innocent?
Which kind of act is this?
Don't go too far.
Why is Beta mad at me?
Stay out of my business.
From now on, we're no longer friends.
I wonder who was acting all tough just now?
Who is this pitiful act for?
Console me!
Okay! There, there.
