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
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.
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.
Are you really going to give up on her?
With this condition,
I don't think I have the right to be in love.
PREVIOUSLY
I've decided to keep swimming.
I've decided not to go to Beijing.
I'm not going to Tsinghua anymore.
I want to study medicine at Zhejiang University.
Really?
WU SONGBO GO GO GO!
Goodbye, Xiaoxi.
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!

EPISODE 17 IF YOU REMEMBER
Okay, time's up. Put your pens down.
Leave the exam papers on your desk and no talking.
That's it. You can leave now.
Jiang Chen!
Jiang Chen.
Slowpoke.
How did you do?
No idea.
Let's go.
Aren't you coming?
Sure!
Free at last!
All students return to class for class assembly after the exam.
Miss Liu, are you getting married or something?
I wore this for you guys,
for good luck on your exams!
I might be a spinster because of you guys!
Miss Liu, don't blame us for that!
Wang Dazhaung!
Quiet!
This is our last class assembly.
It is also the last time we'll all be in the same room together.
It's a pity though,
two students can't be here today.
Although our class often garnered the wrath of Director Zhang,
I still think you are good kids,
albeit a little too naughty sometimes.
However,
you're still kind of adorable.
Also,
this is the last time I'll "scold" you.
From now on,
if someone scolds you,
he'll be scolding you for real.
My students,
I wish you all...
great success...
and the best of luck.
She's the one taking the exam, not you.
Why are you so nervous?
I've prepared this for her.
If she returns too late, it might lose its efficaciousness.
What do you know? Honestly!
Stop!
Don't move.
Honorable Confucius,
my daughter Chen Xiaoxi took the college entrance exam today.
Almighty Confucius, please bless her.
Drink it.
No way, Mom!
Drink it and you'll get in your school.
Dad, look at Mom!
Quit complaining.
Just drink it.
Now!
The exam is over. It won't work now.
Had you taken it before the exam, you might have got the runs.
But I don't want to have the runs now.
It's okay to have the runs now.
Just drink it.
Jiang Chen, have some fruit.
How did you do on the exam?
It was fine.
I'll go with you to sign up for your target college.
There's no need.
That's not a request.
TWO WEEKS LATER
Xiaoxi, come on...
You can check the results now.
2008 ZHEJIANG PROVINCE COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM RESULTS
Well?
Are the grades out?
549.
It sounds okay!
Yeah.
Jiang Chen, I got 549!
Are you home alone?
What do you want?
Nothing.
I just thought you would invite me in for a cup of tea.
Let's go.
Where to?
Didn't you say you want some tea?
Are you taking me out?
Why is that?
Fine, I'm leaving.
Where shall we go?
Wherever.
I know where!
There's a new tea shop by Alumni Bookstore.
But I'd like to go to the place near our school as well.
Which school are you shooting for?
Hangzhou Normal University.
It's pretty close to Zhejiang University.
Watch the road.
You can be my eyes.
Why don't you ask me about my score?
Beg me!
I'll ask if you beg me.
I have confidence in you.
You can surely get in the school you want.
I don't need to ask you, do I?
Too sweet.
Watermelon juice is always the best.
The juices they sell here
are all made from different artificial flavoring agents.
I always get the feeling,
someone's going to kick your butt someday.

1. WU BOSONG
This is a formal competition.
If you continue this way,
it's very risky.
You must win the championship this time,
otherwise you can forget the national team.
Get it?
Yes.
Be serious about your target colleges.
This form is vital to all of you.
Please hand it in when you're done.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Chen Xiaoxi, good choices.
Jiang Chen, you have to wait here.
Your mom just called.
She wants the last word on your target college selection.
She'll be here soon.
Are you done?
Lu Yang, are you mad?
You're putting down Zhejiang University?
I can't get into first-rate universities.
I only wrote it down for my own amusement.
If someone asks me,
I'll say,
I applied for Zhejiang University,
but I missed the cut-off by a few points.
Lu Yang, hurry up and hand in your form.
The rest of you should get going.
Let's go.
Goodbye.
I'll wait for you.
Come on!
Hey, you two go ahead.
I'll wait for Jiang Chen.
Okay.
-Let's hang out soon? -Sure.
-Miss Liu. -Mrs. Jiang.
This is Jiang Chen's form.
A. ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY. B. TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY.
No way.
Jiang Chen's first selection must be Tsinghua's math major.
He's got good grades.
He can pick any school he wants.
Why don't you talk about it some more?
Miss Liu,
my form is complete.
I don't need to change it.
Crazy!
They're having a fight over whether he's going to Tsinghua or not?
I'm going to Lanxiang Vocational School!
Finally, no more school uniforms!
If you won't change it, I'll do it for you.
Mom,
if you know me well enough,
you should know,
if you change my selection now,
I won't think twice about dropping out.
Jiang Chen!
Let's go.
Jingxiao?
Um...
About my condition.
Do you think...
I can have a girlfriend when I'm cured?
You can have one even if you're not.
What if I find out there's no cure?
Even if there's no cure, you can still have one.
No way.
That's unfair to the girl.
Lu Yang,
you don't have a girlfriend, do you?
No.
You do now.
Stop!
Approach slowly.
Your mom seems really eager for you to go to Tsinghua.
So?
You're quite the rebel.
Are you serious about not going?
I am.
What a pity.
Jiang Chen,
you have been accepted by Zhejiang University.
Awesome! Brother, you made it!
You're amazing!
Fantastic!
Good job! Well done!
Congratulations.
I'll fix you something nice to eat.
Brother, you're amazing!
Here, have some.
Thanks.
Mom!
I got into Zhejiang University!
LIN JINGXIAO: I GOT INTO ZHEJIANG. YOU?
Hello? Jingxiao.
-Lu Yang? -Jingxiao.
Well?
I got in!
I got in a second-rate college.
I looked it up. It's very close to your school.
It's only two bus stops away.
I can practically run to your school!

REJECTED
Xiaoxi, it's fine.
Um...
Your dad and I have decided to let you study abroad.
Right.
Xiaoxi, it's okay.
We can lease out our pork trotter restaurant.
Running it is so much work.
It's too much work for your mom.
That's right.
Brother, are you still calling?
Are you calling Xiaoxi?
What is it?
Doesn't she live across the courtyard?
You can go see her.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Jiang Chen?
Hi, Auntie.
I'm looking for Chen Xiaoxi.
She's been cooped up in her room all day.
She won't come out, no matter what.
May I go in and speak to her?
Of course.
Please talk to her for us.
It's okay that she didn't get in.
We can figure out something and let her study abroad.
Talk some sense into her.
Come on in!
Jiang Chen, talk some sense into her.
That's right.
Please talk to her.
Okay.
Mom, I'm not hungry.
It's me.
Dad, honestly, I'm not hungry!
It's Jiang Chen.
What do you think you're doing?
Why are you here?
Why didn't you answer my call?
What are they talking about?
I don't hear anything.
Why don't we take a stroll outside?

NATIONAL SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIP GRAND FINAL
INCOMING CALL: WU BOSONG
Sorry,
the number you dialed is not available.
Please try again later.
Go ahead and cry.
You're all going off to college.
I don't know what I'll do.
What should I do?
I'm scared.
Try again.
Forget the general exam.
Take the art college entrance exam.
I...
We'll all be waiting for you.
I'm scared.
Do you know what I got on my exam?
Are you sure this is the time to show off?
What I mean is, I can help you.
Haven't you always wanted to study art?
Try again.
Take the art college entrance exam.
With my grades,
I should have no problem getting you into Zhejiang University.
Plus, I'm studying medicine.
It's a five-year program.
We can graduate together.
What if I can't graduate?
You should worry about not graduating after you get in the school.
Didn't you say you'd have no problem getting me into the school?
I did.
I'm hungry.
As we can see,
although Wu Bosong had been plagued by injuries,
his performance has improved greatly since he's resumed training.
He's won the championship.
Now it's break time for the athletes.
Why isn't she back yet?
Could something be wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
Don't worry too much.
She's back, isn't she?
Xiaoxi?
How are you doing?
Dad, mom, I'm fine now.
I've decided to take the exam again.
I want to study art. I'll take the art college entrance exam.
You want to repeat the exam?
Are you sure?
It's very stressful.
Can you take it?
Yes.
Jiang Chen told me,
Xiaoxi plans to repeat the exam.
Repeat the exam?
Get off the phone.
Reporters are waiting for you.
-Okay. -Hurry.
I'll call you back.
Zhaoyang.
I'm standing right next to
the winner of the 100-meter freestyle, Wu Bosong!
Dad!
Look, that's my classmate.
You took home the championship right after recovering from an injury.
Care to share your thoughts?
I think starting over requires a lot of courage.
But once you've made the decision, then don't be afraid.
This classmate of yours is quite wise.
Anything else?
Chen Xiaoxi,
repeating the exam isn't scary.
Look at me. I started over and I'm successful.
I believe you can do it!
What a tacky line!
Dad,
now the entire country knows I'm repeating the exam.
You two wait here.
I'll go get the car.
Okay.
You're leaving already?
Yeah.
Take this to Mom.
Okay.
Have you read the notes I lent you?
I've read some of it.
Call me, if you get stuck.
I'll wait for you at Zhejiang University.
I'm leaving.
Good luck!
From now on,
I, Chen Xiaoxi,
will be one with the arts.
You're all students without solid foundation or training.
Don't consider fine arts as something easy to learn.
By the way,
I want to remind you all one thing.
It's a tradition among art majors,
that those who do still painting won't get into college.
Once, a student took the cabbage for the still painting
and cooked it in hot pot.
What are you doing?
Mister, I'm nauseous.
I can't believe Chen Xiaoxi hasn't contacted me all day.
Scoot over.
Hello, gorgeous!
Hey!
Are you studying medicine?
I was going to study medicine,
but I didn't think I have the grades for it.
I'm still interested in it, though.
From now on, will you take me to class with you?
It's better to not waste your time.
If you don't have the grades, it means you're not suited to study it.
What are you saying?
Words, in Mandarin Chinese.
What a snob!
Wait.
You can come to class with me!
Jiang Chen, listen, I--
With professional training,
I have made huge progress.
I'm practically Van Gogh!
I don't think Van Gogh would paint like this.
Girl,
go on home.
I need to shut the place up
and go home.
Fine.
I'll be done soon.
Jiang Chen?
What is it?
Didn't you call me?
I dialed the wrong number.
Who were you going to call?
Forget it. I have nothing to say to you.
Bye.
Fine, I'm going home to study anyway.

Don't take advantage of my sweetheart.

It's such a hot day. Why am I out here?

That is quite the miracle.
You never signed my yearbook.
Please sign my backpack!
I'm keep this backpack as a souvenir.
I'm going to get a beautiful single strap purse,
something ladylike.
Boring.
I'm going home.

Isn't it boring to stay home?
There's no TV dramas you can watch.

What did you get?
COMPENDIUM OF MATERIA MEDICA
You're not studying traditional Chinese medicine.
Why are you getting it?
For fun.
You do funny things for fun.
Are you coming?
My legs fell asleep.
Why don't you carry me?
Why don't I knock you out and drag you home?
Please wrap it up for me.
Wu Bosong?
What are you doing here?
I came back for a competition.
Lu Yang invited me to a gathering. So here I am.
See? I got a gift for you.
Are you coming to the gathering together?
-What gift? -Wait.
There's a gathering?
Lu Yang said he called you, but there was no answer.
He texted you.
We're going to karaoke to celebrate you getting into Zhejiang University.
He's having a party on my behalf, and he didn't properly inform me?
Cheers.
For Chen Xiaoxi!
You are a sleepless city
Cheers!
Peaceful and prosperous.
Come on.
Drink it all.
Xiaoxi, I wish you all the best in college.
Thanks.
What a surprise! You're a late bloomer!
This is quite something.
Come on! Drink up.
You have to drink!
Don't forget us when you become a famous painter.
Congratulations.
-You have to drink too. -I can't drink anymore.
I didn't think you'd make it!
I should have repeated the exam, too.
Jingxiao.
Honestly, no one expected you to get into Zhejiang University.
What gives?
Are you worried about her?
So?
-Be careful -Bye.
Where did you go?
Jingxiao?
Why did you let her get so drunk?
Why didn't you keep an eye on her?
Jingxiao,
let's go home.
No more drinking.
Aren't you playing your computer game?
I'm done.
Come on, let's go home.
Your mom doesn't like me as it is.
Now I have no idea what to say to her.
Come on.
Jingxiao?
Chen Xiaoxi, goodbye.
Jingxiao?
I won't play games anymore.
I swear, okay?
Please! Don't be mad.
Let's go.
Please! Let's go.
Go away!
Can you stand up?
Asshole! Jiang Chen!
I'll take her home.
I'm going with you.
Who are you? I have no money.
I'll take her home.
You should focus on your competition.
Take care of her.
Can you walk?
Do you want me to carry you?
I can walk.
Let's go then.
Come on, give me your hand.
Will you remember...
what happened tonight?
I don't know.
If you remember...
Call me.
Okay.
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
