I love your eyes, your eyelashes Your aloofness
I love your dimples The corner of your mouth, your smile
I love you, the whole world knows They mock me, knock it out
I will continue to do so Please be ready for it
I love your shirt Your fingers, your scent
I want to be your coat Your gloves, your heartbeat
I love you, the whole world knows It's torture, don't lose hope
How patient am I, please wait and see
Loving you in every moment, every second
Loving you everywhere, in every corner
Loving you has become a force of habit
How much do I love you, I have no idea
Loving you has made rainy days shine
Loving you has made snowy days warm
Loving you has become a religion That can't be easily renounced
How much do I love you?
You will know
Jiang Chen!
Why don't we visit Lu Yang this afternoon?
I'm not going.
PREVIOUSLY
She didn't want to interrupt your study session,
so she's been waiting outside.
-Miss Nurse? -Yes?
Please tell her I've been discharged.
Are you Lu Yang's classmate?
He's gone home.
You should go home, too.
Brother, Mom told me you're applying for Tsinghua's independent recruitment?
Liu Xinxia says my grades are average.
I can only get into third-rate colleges in Beijing.
Why don't you tutor me?
I'll follow you, wherever you go.
What's wrong?
I may have to give up swimming.
Once you think it through and make up your mind,
whatever you decide, we will stand by you,
with unconditional support.
Okay.
Didn't they say there are couples in our class?
I think it's got to be Wu Bosong and Chen Xiaoxi.
Maybe I can't get in the school.
EPISODE 16 WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
Let's look at this problem.
We have to draw two auxiliary lines.
One on the left,
one on the right.
And?
And--
Why don't we ask Jingxiao for help?
No.
Let me give it another go.
Maybe I'll get it.
Right, let's give it another go.
Math isn't my strong suit.
Why don't we study English?
Let's study Chinese.
-At least we can understand the words. -That's a good point.
When you watched TV outside of your allotted time,
you weren't thinking about studying at all.
Now at the dinner table, you suddenly have the urge to study?
Give her a break.
She's been working really hard.
She's been working hard?
If anyone's been working hard, it's Jiang Chen!
He's applying for Tsinghua!
I'm going to study in my room.
Jiang Chen, why aren't you back yet?
Okay, let's stop here.
We were crunched for time,
so I went over the lesson pretty fast.
If you have any questions regarding the lesson,
come see me in the faculty room.
Complete these exercise problems,
which are actual questions from last year's exam.
Class leader will collect it before the end of study hall.
Class dismissed.
100 DAYS LEFT FOR COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM
Up.
Don't you understand the seriousness?
How could you doze off?
If you're that sleepy, you can sleep standing up!
I'll use the recess time
to have a chat with you.
Today is February 27th.
The college entrance exam is only 100 days away.
Are you ready for the final sprint to the end?
We're ready.
I can't hear you!
Again! Are you ready?
We're ready!
At last! Away from the smell of test papers!
It makes me want to sing.
The sun's shining And the flowers are smiling
The birds say, "Good morning
Why are you carrying a bag of explosives?"
I'm going to blow up Tsinghua
And Jiang Chen doesn't know
You'll light the fuse and run
Boom! Tsinghua will be gone
You miss Jiang Chen.
You miss Lu Yang.
No way!
Search for the real answer in your heart.
Weren't you moved by Lu Yang's public declaration of love?
Not even a little?
If Jiang Chen did that for me,
I'd be so happy, I'd do 12 cartwheels in a row!
I was moved.
Plus, he hasn't been around,
I feel--
I know!
The tiny seed of love has sprouted?
But...
I can never find him.
Isn't he still at the hospital?
You can catch him by surprise,
so he'll have nowhere to hide.
HOWEVER DIFFICULT, IT'S THE LAST 100 DAYS PERSISTENCE BRINGS SUCCESS
NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT OR TRYING I'LL SPARE NO EFFORT
TO GET IN MY IDEAL UNIVERSITY
WORK HARD FOR 1 YEAR TO LIVE LIFE WITHOUT REGRETS
Tsinghua has wrapped up its independent recruitment.
Jiang Chen has returned from Beijing.
Let's congratulate him on his success in advance.
Now, take out a pen and a piece of paper.
Write down the college you want to attend,
and what you want to be when you grow up.
Write it all down.
When you're done, Qiao Lu will collect the papers
and put them up on the blackboard at the back.
You should read it from time to time to get inspired.
Do you hear me?
Yes.
Get to it!
Why aren't you writing?
I don't know what I want to do when I grow up.
LIN JINGXIAO, ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY ASTRONOMER
JIANG CHEN, TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY
Have you decided what you'll put down for future goals?
Not yet.
Did you write it?
I haven't decided, either.
Are you serious about giving up swimming?
If so, it'd be a pity.
I still have the silver medal you gave me.
You said you'd trade me for a gold medal.
Is the gold medal more expensive?
Is it pure gold?
I'll give you one.
You can bite on it and see.
I might chip my teeth.
Would you be sad if I gave up swimming?
I'd feel sad for you,
but the sadness wouldn't affect me the most.
It'd affect you and your family the most.
Don't fret over me. What about you?
Haven't you thought about what you want to do when you grow up?
I have plenty of ideas.
A cop.
A scientist.
A teacher.
A celebrity.
I tried to imagine myself doing different things,
but none of them really feel like me.
Haven't you been persistently passionate about something?
Drawing and--
And what?
Nothing. You should work on the exercise problems.
Your grades are worrisome.
You said you'd explain trigonometric functions for me,
but you haven't yet.
Jiang Chen!
Perfect timing.
Will you explain trigonometric functions for us?
Don't bother. We'll figure it out ourselves.
Carry on, then.
You two are pretty brave.
One is brave enough to tutor, the other is brave enough to listen.
Do your exercise problems!
Why are you hiding?
I got re-hospitalized.
I got re-hospitalized!
Um...
Miss Liu wants you to write down the university you want to attend
and the person you want to become.
Write it down.
I'll turn it in for you.
I'll pass.
My goals are nothing special.
Well...
I brought you worksheets from school.
I wrote down how to solve the problems and other notes for you.
-Take a look. -No, thanks.
My tutor makes me do ten worksheets every day.
I don't have time for that.
No.
Just take a look.
My notes are very clear.
Get up!
I don't need it. Take it back.
The college entrance exam is coming up.
Don't waste your time on me.
Go home.
Don't come back.
Lu Yang, must you treat me like this?
You were never like this before.
What are you trying to do?
I'll ask again. Do you want it or not?
No.
Fine!
Who else would put up with your temper?
I'm the only one.
TEACHER

Jiang Chen is the only one left.
Here.
Why are you crying?
My mom says my dad may leave us forever.
Hey!
My dad has left forever, too.
Baby! Your dad is okay now.
Let's go to see him.
Thanks to the doctor,
your dad is finally out of danger.
When we see the doctor,
we have to thank him!
ORGAN DONATION FORM
I'm sorry, son.
Your dad suffered from a very rare disease,
but he was a good man.
The organs he's donated will help many others.
What a lousy gift!
What happened?
You took out your angst on the paper?
Jingxiao did this.
I made her mad.
Are you really going to give up on her?
With this condition,
I don't think I have the right to be in love.
What did the doctor say?
I don't know.
My parents wouldn't tell me.
They probably don't want to see me worried.
Enough about me.
Xiaoxi told me you applied for Tsinghua's independent recruitment.
-How did it go? -There shouldn't be a problem.
Right.
Since when do you have any problems with school?
On the other hand,
are you really going to study math at Tsinghua?
Xiaoxi wailed and complained to me
about how she can't get into colleges in Beijing.
-I'm not going anymore. -You're not?
You're doing this for Xiaoxi?
I want to study medicine,
and I want to stay with her.
Did I hear what I thought I did?
No, you didn't.
You guys are so lucky.
I guess you'll be together after graduation?
Stop avoiding Lin Jingxiao, then you won't need to envy us.
She's been pretty upset lately.
Do you think I'm a jerk?
I followed her around for years,
and now I--
But, I'm really worried that if I--
She'd be even more upset.
Being so considerate isn't like you at all.
2007 SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY RANKING IN CHINA
-Welcome back. -Brother!
Tsinghua's math department is ranked number one in the country.
Look.
Mom,
I've decided not to study math at Tsinghua.
What happened?
The exam didn't go well?
I want to study medicine.
No way!
Fine.
Let's talk about it when we get the results.
Sit there.
First, explain trigonometric functions for me.
Trigonometric functions
are basically all about deformation of formulas.
Only a basic algorithm is needed.
If it's a lengthy problem,
there will be two solutions.
I'll show you.
This one.
What are you doing?
If I said, I was trying to wipe away your sweat,
would you believe me?
Quit the habit of chewing your pen.
Watch out!
-Are you okay? -What happened?
-What's going on? -Help him up.
Take him to the school clinic!
Let's go.
Come on.
Take him to the school clinic.
Easy.
It's nothing serious.
I don't think you broke your nose.
I just need to clean up the clotted blood.
Our sense organs are all interconnected.
I'm touching your nasal nerves.
It's only natural for your tear glands to respond.
Okay. Wait here.
I need to grab the other medicine.
Lately, I've discovered a serious problem.
Puppy love relationships are happening in our school!
They take their parents' money and do shameful things,
walk around the track field, holding hands in broad daylight!
Their silhouettes
look awfully like some of you in this class!
Your class is infamous!
Whenever something goes wrong,
I can expect someone from your class is involved.
Just looking at you people right now is making me sick.
As the disciplinary officer of Chenxi High School for so many years--
-What did you say? -I haven't teach such awful students...
-Grandma's missing? -like you people.
You!
Where are you going?
-Where are you going? -Director Zhang!
His grandmother's gone missing.
You're full of it!
You're always hanging out with Wu Bosong.
Tell me! Are you two dating?
Director Zhang, your toupee is lopsided.
Director Zhang!
I'm in love!
-You? -Director Zhang!
-We're the puppy love couple! -That's right!
-You? -Yes.
And you?
Director Zhang, I want to be in love!
Director Zhang, I want to get married!
Get married? Stop this nonsense!
Have you met his grandmother?
Do you know of any place that his grandmother frequents?
Last time, his grandmother said she was getting him goggles.
Let's start with the shopping center.
Hi, have you seen an old lady nearby?
About this tall?
With short hair.
No.
Hello!
Hi, have you seen an old lady nearby?
About this tall?
-With short hair. -No.
Is that her?
Yes!
Call Wu Bosong.
Hello?
Wu Bosong, we've found your grandmother.
Where?
Across the street from the shopping center.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Granny?
Hi, I'm a friend of Wu Bosong's.
My name is Jiang Chen.
You. Stay away!
It's okay, Granny. Don't be scared.
Don't be scared. Let's go home.
Don't. Stay away!
-These are for Bosong. -Let's go home.
-Don't-- -Let's go home, Granny.
Grandma.
Grandma, it's me, Bosong.
It's me, Bosong.
Grandma!
Let's go home.
Grandma!
I'm hungry! I want to eat!
You're hungry?
Grandma can make you noodles.
I want two eggs, too.
Two eggs, it is.
Let's go home and have noodles.
These are for Bosong.
Look, Bosong.
I got these for you.
For swimming...
My Bosong is a very fast swimmer!
He's the best.
Nobody can beat him.
He'll be a world champion!
Let's go home.
Put them on, Grandma.
Such a good son.
I'll get a band-aid for you.
Thanks for your help.
How's your arm?
It's fine.
I've decided to keep swimming.
I can't let my grandma down.
I've decided not to go to Beijing.
Then I'll leave Xiaoxi in your care.
I don't think she's yours to leave in my care.
Sometimes you can be so annoying!
Likewise.
You're not punishing them for this?
What kind of a homeroom teacher are you?
Director Zhang, please calm down!
This is all a big misunderstanding.
It is!
How is this a misunderstanding?
Please calm down.
Wu Bosong?
What are you doing here?
We're being punished.
I have to thank you for your help.
Don't worry.
I'll talk to your teachers and explain the situation.
Bosong, say goodbye to your friends.
I'm here to formally quit school.
I've decided to devote all of my energy to swimming.
I won't be in school with you guys anymore.
Don't miss me too much.
I knew you would decide to keep swimming.
You can do it!
Cheer up.
It's not like we'll never see you again, right?
When you win a gold medal,
you better take us all out to eat!
Kids, study hard.
After the college entrance exam,
I'll take you all out to eat!
Wu Bosong is leaving, too.
Wu Bosong is going to focus on swimming.
You're going to study math at Tsinghua.
As for Lin Jingxiao,
she's going to study astronomy.
You all seem to know exactly what you want to do.
I'm not going to Tsinghua anymore.
I want to study medicine at Zhejiang University.
Really?
Then I'll apply for a college nearby.
I want to study art.
Do as you like.
Will you sign my yearbook?
Why not?
That's for people who are leaving each other.
Come on!
NATATORIUM
Bosong,
remember what the doctor said.
Don't overexert.
No more than two hours a day.
I'm glad you remember, kid.
We heard from the national team again.
When your muscles are completely healed,
we'll go to Beijing!
Swimming...
-Let's go into the pool. -It's cold.
-Look.
I'll put it here.
Help!
-Don't you cry. -Help!
You'll stay in the pool until you've learned how to swim!
Help!
Wu Bosong! You're the best!
Bosong! Best of the best!
MEET ME AT THE SCHOOL AUDITORIUM I'LL WAIT FOR YOU
Wu Bosong?
Chen Xiaoxi.
There are some things I haven't told you.
Now I may have to be a little formal about it.
The first time I saw you,
I thought you were kind of cute.
I know this.
The first time I felt something for you
was when you came to watch my competition
and cheered me on all by yourself.
At the sports meet,
I was the mascot running with you.
In the game of "keep a secret,"
I wrote down I love you.
I LOVE XIAOXI.
That wasn't a joke.
And in 2006,
I made the first snow for you.
Whenever you're upset,
I get super panicky.
All I want is to cheer you up.
Whenever you're happy,
I want to laugh with you.
See?
Now you're crying, you're making me want to cry, too.
It's okay, Chen Xiaoxi.
I've decided to put aside my feelings for you.
I'm bidding you farewell.
I'm going after my dream.
You will cheer for me, won't you?
Goodbye, Xiaoxi.
TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY LETTER OF ADMISSION
It's freezing in Beijing during the winter.
It'll be tough on you.
After the college entrance exam,
let's go get you a couple of down jackets.
Mom,
I'm not going to Tsinghua.
What are you talking about?
You're already admitted!
You have a sure spot in Tsinghua.
I've made up my mind.
And I say no!
Mom,
do you know why I wanted to study math?
Why?
Because you looked down on Dad for studying math.
You thought he could've done better with his life.
I wanted to prove you wrong.
Studying math was Dad's dream.
Tsinghua is your dream.
My dream is to study medicine at Zhejiang University.
I don't care what you say.
You've received the letter of admission.
You can't pass up a great opportunity like this.
I get to decide my own future.
Brother?
Why don't you want to go to Tsinghua?
I just don't want to.
Go and do your homework.
Brother,
do you hate me?
You never talk to me.
I feel like you prefer the dog downstairs.
How can you compare yourself to the dog?
I like the dog and I like you,
but they're different levels of affection.
But you never talk to me.
The thing is,
Dad loved you and me on different levels, too.
You may not remember,
but Dad always scolded me
and defended you.
I envied you quite a bit when I was little.
Brother,
is your jealousy over me the reason why you never talk to me?
That's right. I was jealous of you.
But then,
I realized Dad's love for us was exactly the same.
You're so petty.
You're old enough.
You should know better now.
I'll take it as you do like me.
Then I'll support you in your decision to not go to Tsinghua.
CHINA ORGAN DONATION COMMITTEE: CERTIFICATE OF HONOR
This belonged to Dad.
Keep it safe.
Watch your diet before and during the college entrance exam.
No raw or cold foods.
Do not stay up late.
Rest well.
Don't get sick.
When you get home today,
prepare everything that you will need.
For example,
2B pencils,
black markers,
erasers, rulers,
ID cards, and admission tickets.
At the college entrance exam,
you youngsters get to show off all of your skills and knowledge.
You must take it seriously,
and strive to correctly answer all the questions you know,
and make lucky guesses on all the questions you don't know!

You have to bear two things in mind when swimming.
Breathing and bodily coordination.
But most importantly,
you must overcome your fear of water.
It's fun.
Would you like to try?
No. Are you trying to get me killed?
Maybe a fairy has cast a spell
To start a conversation between us
This glamorous world is too much to handle
Where can I stop
Don't pay attention To doubts and suppression
Calm down and listen To the heart's answers
What kind of loss makes the heart ache
You must know
Tell me this is a dream
It's the mutter in my sleep
Painting a future home
Full of the things I love
In the dream
all struggles are overcome
You're there looking at me with a smile
Saying gently
Come on, don't be afraid
Dream
Days and nights of worry and concern
Full of hardship and silent anguish
Original intent carried through youth
Tell me it will come true
It's the mutter in my sleep
Painting a future home
Full of the things I love
In the dream
All struggles are overcome
You're there looking at me with a smile
Saying gently, come on, don't be afraid
Saying gently
Come on, don't be afraid
