[Episode Recap]
If I knew what was best for you, and stood in your way...
I couldn't do something like that.
What is your name?
Bei Ling.
Don't you think Bei Ling is really fake?
When did you two get so close?
She's in my study group.
I think Bei Ling is actually really nice. Really.
We're all classmates. Let's get to know each other.
We already know each other.
Is that necessary?
Are you playing innocent now?
What kind of act is this?
Don't go overboard.
I don't understand why Beta is mad at me.
From now on, stay out of my business.
From now on, we're no longer friends.
Who was acting so tough just now?
Who are you looking so pitiful for now?
Console me.
She's just a young girl.
How could she leave without a word like this?
She even made friends online.
[With You]

Good job. Jian Dan. Didn't know you were so tough.
- What are you guys doing? - Something big. Tell us!
Or else, we'll do worse to you.
I really don't know what you want me to say!
Do you know Crystal Love?
No, I don't!
You don't know?
But I've eaten it. (A brand of Jello.)
You've eaten it?
What's wrong with that?
You're a scum of society!
What's your online username?
Single Nobleman.
It is him!
Player!
Wretch!
You play with girls' feelings!
You pervert!
I remember now!
- Tell us! - Yes, yes.
Yes? Tell us!
- Where is she? - Okay, I'll tell you.
We met on an online forum, and we added each other on instant message.
She said she wasn't in a good mood, and wanted me to comfort her.
I waited in front of the hotel all night, but she didn't come.
- You're lying! - I swear to Heaven.
If I told you any lies, I'll get struck by lightning.
Do you think we got the wrong person?
No way. He doesn't look like an innocent guy.
Oh! You guys don't even have any proof!
Dad!
Son!
What's the situation now?
Maybe we did get the wrong guy.
Let's run then!
Hurry!
He didn't come after us.
It's okay now. But I think we're in trouble.
It's okay, it's okay. If anything happens, I'll cover for you.
Why don't you cover for me?
You have too many sins for me to bear.
They don't know who we are anyway.
Yeah. We're just trying to help the good by punishing the bad.
Right!
- Geng Geng. - Yeah.
Let's go.
It's dark now. Let me and Zhou Mo walk you guys home.
It's okay. It's girls' time now.
Wait.
Hello. Ms. Lai?
Oh, you found her? Okay.
Although we weren't the ones to find Ms. Lai's daughter
at least we got to punish a bad guy. Right?
As long as she's back, it's good.
Beta. You didn't get hurt earlier, did you?
No.
Jian Dan. That garbage bin was pretty heavy, are you okay?
Beta, I'm sorry.
What's there to be sorry about?
I should have believed you.
And the things I said to you.
I saw it.
Han Xu and Bei Ling were exchanging little notes with each other.
I think Han Xu might really like Bei Ling now.
It's okay. It's just little notes.
You're just dumb.
Why do you think I did all that?
Wasn't it all for you?
You're starting to sound more and more like Xu Yan Liang now.
"Wasn't it all for you?"
No way. If I sounded like him, I'd bite my own tongue off.
Dummy. Aren't you dumb?
Let's never separate again.
Never separate again.
Right. "Spider Man 2" is coming out in July. Let's go watch it together.
Okay!
Afterwards, we can go get ice cream from the place next to the theater!
What do you think, Beta?
What's wrong?
I might not be able to go.
Do you not like that movie?
We can watch another one.
It's not that.
My parents booked me a flight.
I'm leaving next Saturday, to go to school in Beijing.
It was just decided a few days too.
I wasn't sure how to tell you guys.
So we only have one more week.
You guys, don't be like this. I'm still here now.
Be happy.
I don't want you to go.
Beta, can you not go?
Or at least wait until this semester is over?
Don't be silly. How can I not go?
Zhen Hua. I'm finally leaving!
I'm never going to be tortured by you again!
[Episode 19: Call Me Beta for Once.]
What are you thinking about?
Beta is leaving next week.
Let's all bid her farewell together.
Which day next week?
Where did you come from?
Which day next week is Beta leaving?
You should ask her yourself.
I asked, but she wouldn't tell me.
I think you should use your position as class monitor, and force it out of her.
Oh, did you know? Ms. Lai resigned.
Why aren't you guys surprised?
Quitting at this time, changing teachers.
She must be going through something really serious.
What could it be?
I remember something Ms. Lai said before.
What?
"Tough days don't last, tough people do."
Nice. You can speak English now.
Mr. Zhang. Has Beijing Normal University still not released information
on their entrance exam?
I saw online that they're about to start soon.
I would tell you if they had started.
What about schools outside of Beijing?
Nan Kai, Ji Nan, none of those either?
Like I said.
I would let you know if they had started.
Even if you come ask me everyday, I still won't know.
Why don't you go back first.
Come in.
Mr. Zhang, you were looking for me?
Yes. Did you tell your family?
I'll visit your home tonight.
I'll speak to your dad about your situation.
Don't be nervous. I won't say anything bad.
What's wrong?
When did you learn to tell fortunes?
One look at your face and I can tell that there's trouble.
What's wrong?
Mr. Zhang is coming for a house call tonight. What do I do?
Just go with it.
It's not like you're a big troublemaker. Mr. Zhang won't go around telling on you.
That's true. But I'm still really nervous for some reason.
I think it's because you forgot to tidy up your room
when you left the house this morning.
Go back to your physics problems. Goodbye!
So which day are you leaving?
Which flight?
Xu Yan Liang. I'll tell you one more time. Don't come to the airport.
But we're classmates. It's a deep relationship.
Turn around.
But they're all going. I want to go too.
One, two.
There's still something wrong with how you solved this problem.
But I got the same answer.
But you'll still get points off if the process isn't right.
Let me show you what I got then.
I was just getting water after class, so I got it for him too.
Oh.
Mr. Zhang. Have some tea.
Thank you.
- Please sit. - Yes, yes.
Mr. Zhang, would you like some fruit? I'll cut it for you.
No, no, I'm fine.
- Please have some tea. - Yes, thank you.
Please have some tea. Tea first, talk later.
I'm actually a little thirsty.
Geng Geng's dad.
Yes.
Once this semester ends, she'll be in her third year of high school.
Many parents are already starting to worry about the college entrance exam.
Yes, yes. We should start preparing early.
Geng Geng is just a bit below average in our class right now.
She's not doing badly, but it's still good to start thinking early.
I think there's no reason to only consider one route.
Some colleges have their own entrance exams
or if you have excel in some sport...
It's all worth considering.
Have a look at this.
Like this one. Ji Nan University has a special language program.
It's a very good program.
And this one, Wu Han University, and Zhong Nan University.
- Mr. Zhang. - Yes.
Is there anything in Beijing?
Beijing... is more competitive.
I personally feel that not everyone has to look at just that one place.
Mr. Zhang. Actually, Geng Geng's mom has also considered
sending her abroad for college.
That's very good.
Studying abroad is a very good option.
She can receive a different type of education.
Plus, it'd be easy for her to find a job when she comes back.
But of course, it still depends on what Geng Geng wants to do.
Yes.
Geng Geng. I heard from your dad that
your teacher also supports the idea of you studying abroad?
You should think it over seriously too, and start preparing early.
Mom, I don't...
What do you mean you don't?
If you don't start preparing now
then when it's for the college entrance exam, it'll be too late.
I already signed you up for weekend TOEFL classes.
What's bad about going overseas?
At least you can broaden your horizons.
You'll be able to speak English fluently by the time you come back.
Okay, okay, I got it.
Morning.
The insides of a triangle add up to 270? Was it a deformed triangle?
It was just a careless mistake.
So you don't have to take it seriously?
These are all silly mistakes.
What are you going to do for the college entrance exam?
I don't even know if I'll be taking it.
What did you say?
Nothing.
I said that if it were the college entrance exam, I'd be dead.
At least you know it.
If you start trying harder now, you might still make it.
Look at my paper.
Look at these two steps carefully.
Yu Huai. I might...
Nothing. I mean, I might just be dumb.
At least you know it. Then you can still be helped.
I just bought chocolates. Here, have it.
I don't want it.
I got you some water. Here.
Are you trying to burn my hand off?
Jay Chou just came out with a new album last week. Did you listen to it?
I don't listen to Jay Chou anymore. I listen to David Tao now.
True. Jay Chou isn't that good. David Tao is talented.
He sang a song called “Black Nails.”
It's “Black Tangerine.”
Xu Yan Liang, why do you always turn around to talk to me?
Do you really have that much to talk about?
Don't you have anything better to do?
I do.
Mr. Zhang. He wanted me to get some homework from him.
Which Mr. Zhang?
Zhang Ping.
Mr. Zhang.
Oh?
So you're leaving Saturday?
Yes.
- Is all the paperwork done? - Yes.
I've taught you for two years, and now you're suddenly leaving.
I'll miss you.
Will you really miss me?
Of course.
You're one of the students that made me worry most.
I'll miss you and the class too.
- Oh yeah. - Yes?
Xu Yan Liang mentioned that we should plan a farewell for you.
Oh no, no.
I'm already getting so much hate for being able to go to school in Beijing
I don't need to flaunt it more.
All right. I understand.
Mr. Zhang.
What are you guys talking about?
Why is it you again?
It's obviously fate.
Let's look at our textbook.
If an object is not acted upon by force, it will stay in a stationary state
or move in a uniform motion.
We also know that one of the functions of force is to change an object's motion
as well as its speed, size, and direction.
Therefore, an object which moves along a circle
has to be acted upon by force at this area.
Let's look at the next problem.
I was almost bored to death.
Me too.
Where are you guys going?
To the bathroom.
Oh.
Xu Yan Liang, are you a pervert? Why are you following me to the bathroom?
I'm going to the bathroom too.
- Really? - Yeah.
All right. I'll take you to the girls' bathroom.
- No. It's not that. - Um, I...
You what?
Xu Yan Liang, what are you trying to say?
Yeah, just say it.
Don't pull my arm.
Um, I... You... Actually...
All right. Don't say anymore. Let's go.
Beta.
I...
have to go to the bathroom.
There's going to be trouble after I leave.
What?
Xu Yan Liang's going to go crazy.
You're eating two lunches?
Yeah. I'm hungry.
What about the last question? How did you do the last question?
Mr. Zhang is looking for you.
Mr. Zhang.
You were looking for me?
Yes.
I have something for you.
[Harvard Girl Liu Yi Ting] This is a gift from our whole class.
“Harvard Girl?” Are you trying to embarrass me?
No, no.
It's more like a good wish.
You can learn from her spirit, the spirit.
[To: Jiang Nian Nian. Wish you well in your new school.]
[Hope you get into your dream college, and live out your dream life.]
[Hope you become more and more beautiful. From: Zhen Hua Class of 2003.]
This is Xu Yan Liang's handwriting.
[Homeroom Teacher: Zhang Ping]
Thank you, Mr. Zhang.
I'll go now.
Bye.
You're not going to your study group?
I don't want to go.
Yu Huai has something to do too.
All right. Then let's hang out.
I'll go get my bag.
Wait for me.
One, two, three.
Yay. Change.
One, two, three.
- One, two, three. - One, two, three.
Again.
One, two, three.
He told me.
"Go for Harvard. Harvard Girl."
Doesn't he expect too much of me?
Wait, wait.
What dream do I have?
I just want to be with you guys every day.
To see him every day.
Right?
I feel like...
when I first entered Zhen Hua, I was just a pile of mud.
But little did I know...
- that I would meet you. - That I would meet you!
That I would meet you.
You guys cry with me. Right?
Laugh with me.
And tolerate my bad temper.
I feel like when I get to Beijing
everyone in class will just shun me.
I'll die from studying.
But you're Jiang Nian Nian.
Nobody would dare shun you.
And then...
I'll never meet a homeroom teacher like Mr. Zhang again.
Zhang Ping.
And what if my parents beat me to death?
What am I going to do after you leave?
Han Xu doesn't like me now. He likes Bei Ling!
He's nothing!
You still have us.
Friendship is forever.
Friendship is eternal.
Cheers.
Once we have this drink
we'll be friends, even in our next lives.
- No. In this life too. - Friends for life.
Today, I really miss one person.
I am very sorry. They're high schoolers.
I only brought this much money when I left the house.
I am very sorry.
Is that Mr. Zhang?
Mr. Zhang.
How come Mr. Zhang is here?
Don't you guys know how dangerous this is?
If something happened, what would I tell your parents?
I'm sorry.
Um, I'll pay you back tomorrow.
What is this? Three girls, drinking out, this late at night?
And you flipped their table.
Mr. Zhang.
We were wrong.
You should've known better!
What happened to your head?
Oh. It's nothing.
Does it hurt?
No.
- Your bags. - Thank you.
Okay. I'll take you guys home.
Mr. Zhang!
Jian Dan and I are going the same way.
You can just take Beta. We can go back on our own.
Will you two be okay?
- Yes, definitely! - No problem!
Let me know when you guys are home.
- No problem. - Yes.
Bye!
Be careful on the way.
Bye bye!
Be careful. Let's go.
Jian Dan.
Geng Geng. Why are you walking upside down?
Don't cry anymore.
What did you three do?
It was Beta.
We had a farewell for her. We said we would drink till we got drunk.
- You didn't have to drink this much. - Okay, enough of that.
Let's find a way to get her home first.
All right. Geng Geng. Let's go.
All right. Okay.
Okay. We're going.
You're leaving, just like that? What about this one?
- We'll leave her to you. - Jian Dan.
All right. Let's go.
Why did you give the milk I gave you to someone else?
I know you don't like me.
And I wasn't trying to make you like me.
But you still shouldn't treat me this way just because I like you.
Didn't you drink a lot?
How come you can still speak so fluently?
Did you know?
From the first time I met you at Youth Camp
I thought that everything about you were good.
You're cute, you have a good personality.
You have nice handwriting too.
What's so good about his personality?
From that time, I thought, wouldn't it be nice if I could always be with you?
Because of you, I worked hard to get into Zhen Hua.
Because of you
I told Mr. Zhang that I wanted to be your desk buddy.
I decided to not go for liberal arts
because you said you wouldn't find another person who was so good to you.
You're silly.
I thought that if I just kept being good to you
then you'd notice me one day.
But that day won't come now.
Because you like someone else now.
You like Bei Ling.
A balloon.
Yes, it's a balloon. Listen to me.
Let me take you home first. I'll buy one for you next time, okay?
You can't buy it.
Sit down. I'll get it for you.
I'll get it for you. Okay?
Stay right here.
Why do you think people have to be part?
No matter how much they can't bear to, they have to part.
Didn't the Chinese teacher teach you?
All good things must come to an end.
But if we must eventually part, then why did we have to meet?
Geng Geng. Let me ask you.
Why do you like to hang out with Beta?
Because being with them makes me happy.
I only started to love Zhen Hua because I started loving them.
When you learn that, then you know the meaning of meeting and parting.
Then what if the next one to leave is me?
Would you still find meaning in that?
You're leaving too?
My mom wants me to study abroad.
I might not be able to go to Beijing.
What about you?
I...
It's not likely that I'll get into a good college here anyway.
So going abroad might not be too bad.
Okay.
Right?
- Mr. Zhang. - Yes.
We're here.
- Here? - Yes.
When you get to Beijing, you need to study hard.
Treasure the opportunity, okay?
I've always thought that you were a smart kid.
I believe in you.
Go inside.
I'll get going then.
Mr. Zhang.
Thank you for all your care.
I'm not a very good student. But you've always been patient with me.
Why are you crying?
Here.
It'll be okay.
Don't Cry.
- Mr. Zhang. - Yes?
I like you.
I know.
I like you too.
You should go in, Jiang Nian Nian.
Okay.
Mr. Zhang.
Can I ask one last favor?
Can you not call me Jiang Nian Nian, and call me Beta, for once?
That's what those closest to me call me.
You should go in.
Beta.
Love is like a wind, it leaves after it blows.
No one can do anything about the speed that it's going.
Who told you it was today?
Mr. Zhang told me to come bid you farewell on behalf of Class 5.
Oh, okay. You can go back and tell Mr. Zhang and the class
that they don't have to worry.
We've known each other since elementary school.
We have never really parted.
I'm going to miss you.
Silly girl. What are you doing?
It's not like we'll never see each other again.
We're just parting temporarily. We'll meet again in Beijing.
Beta.
You said you really liked to eat chocolate malts
chocolate cookies, and orange-flavored wafers.
- I bought some of each. - What's wrong with you?
You think they don't have these in Beijing?
Jiang Nian Nian.
Ever since that time you gave me water at the basketball court
I've thought that you're really nice.
Although you always hit people, curse, and act rude
I've never thought that you were overbearing or unreasonable.
I just thought you were really cute.
They just don't get you.
Is this how you say praise people?
Jiang Nian Nian, I like you.
Wait for me in Beijing.
I'll go to Beijing too.
And when I get to Beijing, then I can... I can...
Then I can see you every day.
What are you doing?
You sound like you're filming a movie.
I told you not to come, but you wouldn't listen!
You ruined such a happy moment.
Xu Yan Liang.
Thank you for taking care of me all this time.
But I don't like fatties.
You two study hard. I'll wait for you in Beijing.
Don't forget me.
Okay.
Take care, okay?
[Train ticket: Shanhai to Beijing]
Whenever we ran into trouble
the first one to yell, "Who dares to touch my woman?" was always Beta.
Although she was lonely, she was always the most cheerful and optimistic.
It was Beta.
The girl who always stood up for us. But now she's going to Beijing.
When we were together, we never thought that we might part.
It's only after we part, that we start to miss the old days.
[2005, Senior Year of High School]
[Thank you for remembering my...]
"Luo Zhi Loves Sheng Huai Nan, but nobody knows."
Your name is Luo...
My name is Luo Zhi.
Senior...
Is there anyone you like?
I'm Sheng Huai Nan from Class 2, 11th grade.
Geng Geng.
I think Xu Yan Liang is sick.
What kind of sickness is it?
Lovesickness.
I don't think it can be cured.
Geng Geng. Lu Xing He sent you a letter again.
Thank you.
[Don't look, Yu Huai.]
I don't even want to look.
But you, don't play around too much, and ruin your future.
Remember to pick up my call at eight tonight.
I'll remember.
- Hello? Yu... - Turn to Chapter Six.
We'll look at questions 5 to 20 today.
Not even an opening to a conversation.
We see each other six out of seven days a week.
What kind of opening do you want? A self-introduction?
All right, okay, you can start now.
Do you understand now? Add a line and connect B and D.
Do it yourself now.
What's the first answer?
Root two.
Incorrect.
Didn't I tell you? Angles A and C are equal.
Oh.
All right. Let's stop here for today.
Do the first five questions again, by yourself.
Okay.
Geng Geng.
You really need to study hard now.
Or else, you might not get to go to Beijing.
Okay. I know, I know.
"I thought you might like it here."
[Beijing Film Academy 2006 Application Form]
"Literary Director."
Come in.
Sis, can you play with me for a bit?
Why does everybody want to squeeze into the same track?
Why can't they switch to another track?
It's the rules.
But you can also not compete. It's all voluntary.
For an independent system, no matter what changes occur
all of the electric charge counts stay the same.
So if you look at this question...
I'm sacrificing my weekend to tutor you, could you be more serious?
Do you think Beta is joining a study group in Beijing?
Stop worrying about others, and work on your question.
- Um. Let me ask a random question. - Okay.
What if I go for Beijing Film Academy, what do you think about that?
You want to become an actress?
Don't make it too hard on yourself.
Beijing Film Academy has a photography program.
That's good, then. You really like photography.
Yes, yes.
Is the school really in Beijing?
It's "Beijing" Film Academy.
Of course it's in Beijing.
That's great then!
Are you serious?
You have to go for it.
No, you have to get in.
Then we can both be in Beijing.
Then we can be in Beijing together.
Yes.
How come you still haven't changed?
You're going to be late for class.
I don't want to go abroad.
What are you saying? I thought we agreed already.
I never wanted to go abroad.
Then tell me, where do you want to go for school?
I want to go to Beijing.
I wish you could go to Beijing too.
I also want you to go to a good college.
But look at your grades now.
I want to go to Beijing Film Academy.
You're not going for a normal school? Why go to a school like that?
Mom. I've already decided. I want to go to Beijing.
[Countdown to College Entrance Exam: 266 days]
It's time to review culture again.
Do this question first.
Let me tell you.
I came up with this question myself, and tailored it specifically to your IQ.
Hurry.
Has anyone not handed in their class fees for this semester?
Please be self-aware.
Don't make me come to you in person.
[Jian Dan: 33rd place]
You two are together a lot.
Looks like you'll both get early admission for college too.
Double the joy.
Let's run. Let's go.
One, two, one.
Seven o’clock?
Escaped successfully.
So tired.
Geng Geng.
Yeah?
Sometimes, I really admire you.
I feel like I can't go on anymore.
It's okay.
I'll always be with you.
Yes. I'll continue to move forward, work hard, and study hard.
Wait for me, I'll go get a book.
Okay.
- Ah. - What are you working on?
Go away. Don't ruin my spirit.
Tonight, let's just review three chapters of math
and I'll let you go back to memorizing material for cultural class.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Don't mention it, Princess Geng.
[Hotel 7]
Let me take you home.
Hey. Are you okay?
Did someone hurt you?
You jerk!
You call yourself a man?
Zhou Mo, what are you doing?
You know what you did.
Zhou Mo!
Jian Dan! Jian Dan!
Jian Dan!
[Preview]
Let me ask you again, where did Jian Dan go?
- You went to a hotel with Bei Ling? - Don't be ridiculous!
You'll do it, but won't admit to it?
- Han Xu. - Yeah?
The last time we came here, we were still young.
We don't have class, can we go look at the stars on the mountaintop?
I don't want to go. I still have a lot of homework to do tonight.
I have to get on the island no matter what.
Someone is attempting suicide, I have to go save her.
Jian Dan, where are you?
I'm here, I'm here!
It's me, I came to save you!
Zhou Mo?
I'm sorry, Jian Dan.
I'm sorry.
It was just a one-sided love, so I'll just accept that I've lost.
I'm transferring to liberal arts.
But we'll always be good friends.
