Episode 2
Boss, what's the price for this cup?
RMB 35 each.
Can you give us a discount if we buy two?
How about RMB 80?
Girl, you're raising the price.
Sorry, boss.
My sister had appendectomy when she was little.
The doctor removed her brain as well.
What a good day.
Yan Mo.
Your Majesty!
That shameless guy Guan Chao...
bullied me.
You must help me.
This is outrageous.
I'll bully him now.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
One vs one?
Bring it on. Who's afraid?
Again.
Stop chasing me!
Again.
Wait.
It's just a game.
Must you do this? I'm your brother-in-law.
Can't you let me win for once?
You can take a 5-minute break.
I'm done!
You're too scary!
My dear, are you happy now?
Yes. I'm so happy.
I'm going to the toilet.
We've known each other for...
Thirteen years.
Yes, 13 years.
At first, we were just deskmates.
His attitude was terrible.
Really?
Of course.
At first, you gave me cold stares.
Why couldn't you be nicer to your new deskmate?
Sorry.
After all, no one knew that...
my deskmate would one day become my wife.
Look. Yan Mo got No. 1 again.
Zhao Guan Chao is still No. 2.
My result is satisfactory.
That Zhao Qiao Yi who cheated in the exam,
which class is she in?
No idea.
I really didn't cheat.
Guan Chao was chasing after Yu Miao Miao back then.
He threw a note to her during the exam...
and it landed beside my foot.
The invigilator came the moment I picked it up.
I didn't even know whether it was a cheat sheet or a love letter.
Stand properly!
Back then, our school had this crazy rule.
After the monthly exam,
our seats would be arranged according to our results.
Now, we will start...
changing seats according to our exam results!
Now that I look back,
if I wasn't mistakenly punished for cheating back then,
our story probably wouldn't have begun.
No. 1, Yan Mo!
No. 2, Zhao Guan Chao.
Why does our result determine our rights?
It's the school's tradition.
No. 3, Zhang Yu Ting!
No. 4, Ren Jian Yu!
Next, Hao Wu Yi!
You.
There are 4 more seats left, right?
No. There are 3 left.
That one is my seat.
Candidate No. 1.
His nickname is "Mr. Hermit".
He never washes his hair.
He has raging hormones...
and he wrote poems for every girl in the class.
Baby.
I will scatter my passionate love...
all over your tomb.
In our next lives,
we shall spend all our time together.
She must be touched. I'm sure.
Pass.
Candidate No. 2, Fei Da Chuan.
He just transferred to our class last month.
It is said that he was expelled from his previous school...
because he beat his teacher up.
Pass.
Candidate No. 3.
Our math lesson representative...
and the school's No. 1.
The favourite student of all teachers.
The one that enjoyed the privilege of sitting alone.
He hasn't said a word to me since the school opened.
Give me a minute. I'll finish it soon.
Are you done choosing?
Is that Jay Chou?
The Beatles.
Of all seats,
you chose the one beside Yan Mo.
Because you didn't reserve a seat for me.
I can't have a female deskmate.
I won't give up the entire forest for one single tree leaf.
Zhao Guan Chao, am I still your younger sister?
No. I didn't tell you because you might feel inferior.
-You're adopted! -You...
-My hair! -Stop right there, Zhao Guan Chao!
-Slow down! -Wait, Zhao Guan Chao!
Wait!
Brother.
No.
I haven't even said anything.
Say it then.
No.
Sign it for me.
No way.
If you don't sign it for me,
I'll tell on you.
You tried to pass a note to Yu Miao Miao during the exam.
And last week, you went to No. 4 Middle School...
to see their school belle.
Yesterday, you went to the house of that girl in a red dress for lunch.
Fine. I will sign it.
I'll make sure it looks exactly like mom's signature.
Zhao Su Ying's "Zhao"...
must look powerful and solid.
The strokes for "Su" must be connected.
As for "Ying", I've mastered it.
Let's go. I'll sign for you.
You're the best, brother!
Guan Chao and I live with our mom.
When I was 6 years old,
mom demanded a divorce.
In that period,
we had a difficult time.
But, we were still very happy.
While mom was away,
Guan Chao and I looked after each other.
So, we knew that we need each other...
since we were kids.
Mom is a tough woman.
I bet no one believes that...
piecework with rates in the unit of cent existed.
Enough, the two of you!
It was one cent for every piece sewn.
She had to sew 10,000 pieces in every 3 days.
Mom did this piecework for many years.
Qiao Yi, do you want that?
I saved all my pocket money...
for Jay Chou's CDs.
Apart from my mom and brother,
he's the person I love the most.
Every birthday,
my brother would buy me his original CD.
I always wondered...
where he got his money from.
Let me finish this album.
It's my turn to use it today.
Do your math homework first.
Why?
I'm being mentored by our math lesson representative now.
You want to copy my homework?
You...
I put it on the table and forgot about it.
Did you sign?
You're in this together.
Let's just admit it for our own good.
I'm sorry, mom.
I thought I was helping her, but I was actually ruining her.
But, she threw a tantrum...
and threatened to hurt herself.
I really pitied her. So...
Mom, I deserve punishment for my mistake.
I will deny myself breakfast for 3 days.
Mom, I didn't cheat.
Sister, don't bother explaining.
Explanations are just excuses.
Zhao Guan Chao, you know I did not cheat!
Don't lie about it.
Mom, she forced me to forge your signature.
Shut up!
Both of you need punishment!
Mom has been very strict.
Both Guan Chao and I are somewhat afraid of her.
Whenever this happened,
a kind man would come to our rescue.
His name is Tian Wei Min.
He's our stepdad.
Xiao Ying, the bureau gave us eggs!
How many times have I told you? Don't call me egg...
What's going on?
See for yourself!
One cheated during exam...
and one forged my signature!
Aren't you two rebellious now?
You shouldn't get caught.
You shouldn't cheat!
Throughout my career in the public security bureau...
No. Throughout the history of Nanchuan Police Station,
this is the worst case of...
intellectual property theft ever!
Dad, I really didn't cheat.
How dare you talk back!
I've been a man of justice for decades.
Yet, my own daughter committed such misdeed with no remorse!
I'm too ashamed to face the people.
I'm so disheartened.
Look at you.
What's so bad about coming last in exam?
Why did you have to cheat?
Dad.
Can't I desire improvement?
And you.
Did you forge this signature?
You committed a misdeed as well.
Look.
From the perspective of crime detection,
your signature lacks...
a sense of seniority.
What are you saying? Get straight to the topic!
As punishment,
you're not allowed to have dinner tonight.
No breakfast for tomorrow.
No lunch either.
As for dinner, it depends on your mom's mood!
You'll most likely have to starve.
Anyway, food is...
They need to eat.
Yes. Of course you need to eat.
Don't waste your mom's effort.
Xiao Mo.
I was notified yesterday that...
our troupe added 5 more shows.
Your dad has some work to do as well.
He can't go back so soon.
I'll call you when I reach New York tomorrow.
I need to hang up now. I'm going on stage soon. Bye.
The physics lab report we submitted in the last lesson.
I passed.
I finally passed.
Yan Mo, how much did you get?
Sorry.
I won't talk to you anymore.
Guan Chao, you haven't come to me for so many days.
What's the matter?
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
My sister was just diagnosed of spinocerebellar ataxia.
Now, I just want to take good care of her.
I'm not in the mood for a relationship.
You're a good girl.
You deserve a better life.
I'll be jealous of your future boyfriend.
Promise me you'll be happy.
Farewell, the love of my life.
Hello. Miao Miao?
I'll be there right away.
I didn't mean to be late.
My sister just stumbled in the field.
I'll be there in a minute.
Yesterday, I saw two kittens near the back door of the school.
I wanted to bring them home.
But, my mom won't let me keep them.
Are they still here?
No idea.
Who's Zhao Guan Chao's sister,
Zhao Qiao Yi?
Do you know Zhao Guan Chao?
No.
We don't know him.
Your brother bullied my younger sister.
What should we do about that?
Don't touch her!
This is none of your business. Move.
Her business is my business!
Do you want a beating?
I dare you!
I don't beat women.
Move! Let's go.
Where's Zhao Guan Chao?
Just tell me honestly and I'll spare you.
I...
I thought you don't beat women.
I'm just poking. Get it?
Teacher!
-Help! -Teacher!
Shout as loud as you can. No one can hear you.
What?
Who are you?
I am the one and only...
Fei Da Chuan.
Do you guys know him?
Who is he?
Who are you?
It's okay if you don't know me.
But, you should know that the school just installed CCTVs, right?
Do you guys know?
Yes.
I'm a fair person and I don't like to outnumber my enemy.
Just you wait.
Thank you, Fei Da Chuan.
You're such a good person.
Wait.
Shouldn't we inform the teachers?
He said he's borrowing it.
He'll return it, right?
Are you stupid? He won't return it!
Zhao Qiao Yi.
Can you team up with me in our physics lab session?
Thank you.
Then what about me?
You said you'll team up with me.
Forget it. I'll make your brother pay for this.
The first objective of our experiment today...
is to further understand...
the structure and working principle of DC motor.
The second is to practice assembling...
models with DC motor...
to improve our hands-on ability.
Now, please start by following my instructions.
I'll record the steps.
No.
Then let me carry out the experiment.
No.
-I'll be a decoration. -No.
Then why do you want to team up with me?
All students work in pairs.
How come you don't have a partner?
I can complete it by myself.
In this world,
there's a lot of things you can't complete by yourself.
The true objective of these lab experiments...
is to instill the spirit of teamwork.
I needed a partner.
I bet you don't know the rest of your classmates.
I do know.
You don't even know your own classmates.
You always hand the exercise books to the wrong people.
I know.
You don't know.
I know.
Who's Yang Ping?
There's no such person in our class.
What a pointless question.
Today's homework...
is this report.
Complete and submit it tomorrow morning.
After the experiment,
keep the tools and apparatus.
Alright. Class is over.
Thank you, teacher!
Sign.
You finished it already?
Can I take it back and study it?
I'm not so good at physics.
Give it to me tomorrow.
Do you want some?
How about Sprite?
Cold black tea?
What do you drink?
You only drink Nongfu Spring?
Your mom must be putting up with you at home.
Come, Qiao Yi. Let's go to the school's back door.
You said there are two kittens.
Where are they?
They were still here yesterday.
Fei Da Chuan is extorting money from Yan Mo?
But, Yan Mo doesn't look like...
a guy that'll get bullied.
We saw it with our own eyes.
This is Yan Mo's lab report.
Oh no.
Zhao Qiao Yi, why are you so careless?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I...
My condolences.
Brother, please help me...
with my physics experiment.
Just this once.
It's just a physics experiment.
I've so many greater things to do.
Brother, please just help me this once.
-Just this once. -I've already helped you.
You think it's easy to get the key to the physics lab? See you.
Where are you going?
I've a date. Bye bye.
Zhao Guan Chao! You...
Brother Liu.
-You're here. -Which computer?
No. 3 and No. 7 over there.
The management changed the system and there's a few problems.
I think it's hardware problem.
Okay. Let me check.
How should I do this?
Did we learn this?
I don't get it at all.
What are you doing?
Why are you still here?
I'm on duty today.
I ruined the...
physics lab report.
So, I'm redoing it.
Did Teacher Zhang tell you to do this?
Yan Mo.
Can... Can you...
help me a bit?
If I can't complete the report,
you'll have nothing to submit tomorrow.
Let me do it.
After all, it's my fault.
Do you know how to do it?
You don't take notes in class?
The teacher speaks too fast.
I couldn't take notes.
Prepare the light bulb, voltmeter, ammeter,
sliding rheostats, electrical switch, wires...
and papers.
Graph papers.
You'll carry it out.
I don't know how.
Read the book.
The voltage is 0.12.
The electric current is 0.08.
Based on these 5 sets of data,
the slope increases as the voltage increases.
This shows that the light bulb's resistance...
So, as the temperature rises...
The voltage increases.
Correct.
The filament's resistivity increases with the temperature as well.
This is a curve. Understand?
Let's move on.
Thanks for today.
What do you feel like eating?
I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow.
No thanks.
Do you know the consequence of making me wait?
I'll count to 3.
Let's run together.
One, two...
Remember to finish the report when you go back.
She's still doing her homework.
This isn't normal.
Is she writing a reflective essay?
Did she cause trouble again?
Maybe she's writing spare reflective essays.
Why aren't you helpful at all?
I haven't washed it.
This is mine.
Hello.
Who's that? My older sister?
Son, how are you today?
I'm fine.
Are you reading a book again?
I'm working on a jigsaw puzzle.
Don't just stay home.
You need to go out.
Did you take Lao Ye out for a walk?
I'll do that in a while.
Did anyone bully you in school?
No.
Hello. Sister.
Don't worry. With me around, no one dares to bully him.
Da Chuan.
I'll be counting on you to take care of Xiao Mo.
Don't worry. That's my job as his uncle.
Alright. I'm hanging up.
-My nephew. -Don't call me that.
Mo Mo.
Give me RMB 100.
I already gave you your allowance for today.
I've used it up.
What's my dad thinking?
Why are you managing my money for me?
I'm the senior here.
I'm sleeping here tonight.
I've no room for you.
I can sleep here.
That's Lao Ye's bed.
Can you guys keep the classroom clean?
We have you to do that!
Did Da Chuan extort money from you yesterday?
Have you finished the lab report?
I finished it.
Teacher.
Your homework is always so exemplary.
Then why did I...
score only 70% in the last report?
We've just had a change in system.
Assignments only make up 70% of the total score.
The other 30% comes from attendance.
So, 70% is full marks?
Yes.
I passed.
I finally passed.
Zhao Qiao Yi, you're an idiot.
Don't be mad at Qiao Yi.
She requested to redo the experiment...
because she didn't want to cause you trouble.
She requested to redo it?
I heard she went home very late yesterday.
How did you complete that lab report?
I did it myself.
You can be honest with me.
Did you copy from Zhao Guan Chao?
Even if he burns the midnight oil,
the smart kid will always tell others that...
he slept at 8 pm.
But, the truth is,
stupid kids are also afraid to let others know that...
they're working hard.
Each time they try,
people will laugh at them and ridicule their attempts.
So, it's hard for them to...
say that they're working hard.
Stupid people have their ways of survival too.
They'll just have to act like they don't care.
You found out.
Of course I can't do it by myself.
See? I told you so!
No one knows her better than me.
Sign.
You're the team leader. You should sign.
It was you who carried out the experiment.
You recorded the principle and steps.
You're the one that should sign.
I'm your team leader?
Sign.
Yan Mo, don't team up with her anymore.
She copied that.
She's just a burden.
Why don't you team up with me?
I'm Grade 12.
Who's she?
Her name is Yu Miao Miao.
She's our classmate.
You did a good job.
Zhao Guan Chao!
Stop!
This is for you.
Thanks.
Some prejudice changes when you start to understand.
But, some don't.
We misunderstand people...
and people misunderstand us.
People who look mean...
might actually have kind hearts.
Hello.
I'll be there in a minute.
Smart people...
are actually constantly working hard.
People who look cold...
have a nice side too.
Even the stupidest people...
want to work hard.
What you see is not the truth.
The truth can only be proven with time.
Back then, my parents were often away from home.
He was the one keeping me company.
