[Episode 14]
She's so perfect.
No wonder you guys all love her.
Stop it.
Don't paint us all with the same brush.
Aren't you the same?
Oh.
That's right.
Your childhood sweetheart
is back.
Who?
Xiao Zhuo An.
She's back.
She's in your class.
She could be
two meters away from you right now,
doing her maths problems.
Are you thinking about
rushing back to see her?
When she left
I didn't even bat my eyes.
What could change now that she
mysteriously came back so suddenly?
Keep pretending.
I can see your face twitching.
Hey.
Look.
If the sun's light dies down right now,
the people on earth
will only know about it 8 minutes later.
It means
that during these 8 minutes
it's an illusion of the ray of light and warmth.
So,
the ignorant people on earth
shouldn't even hope
to understand the sun's mind.
But if I
were able to understand sooner,
I wouldn't have
held these unrealistic fantasies about Ji Xiao.
I know how undesirable I am,
still I lost myself in wishful thinking.
But why did he
give me so many signals?
I'd rather I
hadn't gotten my hopes up at all.
Don't cry.
Where is this place?
You are one to talk.
You cried for hours yesterday.
Finally even I couldn't take it anymore.
Big brother.
I just came back from America.
I still got jet-lag.
I haven't gone home yet.
Here I am keeping you company.
I'm so tired.
Look.
It's been 8 minutes.
When you find yourself in darkness,
the sun has already risen.
It's just that you'll only feel it
in 8 more minutes.
Yan Ze.
Let's go.
Where are we going?
Shut up.
Where are we?
What are you doing?
This is Ji Xiao's home.
Come back.
Are you crazy?
Are you trying to play a joke on me?
You should at least get an answer before you leave.
But I can't
see him looking like this now can I?
Tell me,
did Ji Xiao write who the message
was for?
No.
I heard that you
confessed your love.
Not a confession really.
Just say it, did you or didn't you?
So,
what came of it?
Nothing.
That's right.
High school students mustn't fall in love.
Didn't you know?
Also,
you should be clear on who you confess to.
What are you trying to say?
Give me your hand.
Give me.
Whatever issue there is, talk it through face to face.
Actually,
I'm very happy
to sit next to you in class.
Could you
not change seats?
I... I... I...
I didn't intend to change seats.
Why did you say those things then?
Being with you
side by side
is very...
Eh.
Who is this?
So cringy.
Side by side.
Oh.
That's what you meant.
Sitting next to each other.
I...
Of course I'm not gonna change seats.
But
why did you
send the message
to Xi Ye's phone number?
I never sent a message to Gu Xi Ye.
I
saw
your phone number on the membership certificate.
So I
sent you the message.
Oh,
that's...
I put in
Xi Ye's
phone number.
Later I
was too lazy to change it.
What kind of silly expression was that?
He should be
feeling happy for me.
Xiao Ze.
What's wrong with you?
Don't scare me.
Oh,
what are you thinking?
I'm great.
It's just that today...
Today...
I'm so happy.
Why?
Now I see.
Yeah.
Seeing you so happy right now, I think I understand your mindset now.
So,
so when the mix up was going on,
and the students
were spreading rumors about me and Ji Xiao,
you must have been...
Yeah.
That's why I say it's difficult
for you to get along with people.
Huh?
You're lucky it's me.
If it were anyone else,
aren't you afraid to offend them?
Only you can ask this kind of
question that can ruin a friendship.
So,
were you really angry at me?
Gu Xi Ye.
How long have we known each other?
How long have Ji Xiao and I only known each other?
Do you think
that he can compare to the place
you hold in my heart?
That's good then.
Alright.
Let's eat.
What is this child giggling about?
What are you happy about?
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I'm happy I can eat dinner with
mom and dad.
After so many years,
I finally hear you say something sensible.
Just let me be happy.
Ok, ok.
Xi Ye.
Please eat.
Look at this child.
Did you grow taller again?
Your nutrition
needs to keep up.
Dig in.
Oh right,
I prepared mooncakes for your
mom and dad,
as well as a few little gifts.
Take them
with you when you visit them today.
Hey, can't you take it slow? No one's fighting over it with you.
What are you talking about?
Uncle. Aunt.
I have to go
take care of something.
We are in the middle of dinner.
That child.
Xi Ye has never gone to visit her parents. Do you not know?
I do.
But that's how it usually is.
She doesn't usually go, that's ok, but it's the Mid-Autumn Festival.
You shouldn't have.
Girls are sensitive.
You should be considerate.
What did I do?
She's a daughter,
well,
the parents made a mistake, they went to jail,
does it mean they stop being parents?
Does it mean she can't go visit?
I'm doing this for her.
You...
Look at you.
Look at you two.
What are you doing?
You make it
sound like I'm the bad guy.
Mom.
That's not what we mean.
Anyway,
don't mention this again.
If Xi Ye wants to go,
she'll do so herself.
Yes.
Listen t
Xiao Ze about this.
Got it.
Let's eat.
Gu Xi Ye.
It really is you.
Xin Liang.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I was talking
a walk.
Where is Yan Ze?
Xiao Ze isn't here.
Usually when I see you two,
it's like you're attached to each other.
Seeing you by yourself
is quite
weird.
Where are you heading?
I'm going to Ji Xiao's home.
Today's the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I'm heading there
to get dinner for free.
I got him two boxes of mooncakes.
Why-
Why aren't you going home?
My parents are divorced.
It's all the same.
Ji Xiao's home is my home.
He Xin Liang.
You must be feeling sad.
Holidays
should be spent with the family.
Xiao Ze is with her family.
Ji Xiao is with his family.
Hm.
You should know,
Ji Xiao's mother is a great cook.
Unlike my mom.
All she cooks
are noodles.
It's getting late, you should go home quickly.
It's not safe if you're by yourself.
Mh.
Ok.
Oh right,
next time you go out this late,
remember to take that disloyal one
who burns bridges along.
Yan Ze.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
You are still thinking about challenging the boss's position?
Well, I did.
So what?
Go ask Xi Ye.
See if she agrees.
Xi Ye.
She...
Maybe better not.
I knew you'd side with her.
Saying SHE or something.
Maybe it's best if two people played together.
Hey, where are you going?
I'm not playing with you anymore.
I'll go play video games.
Like a little child.
You protected us so well.
How could we grow up?
Oh my.
You even know to use flattery now?
Oh.
Have you thought about
what you want to do in the future?
Which high school to attend?
The university
you're gonna choose?
I haven't.
Right.
You don't need to.
I'll take you with me
wherever I go.
We'll always be together.
Yeah.
I want to go to high school in Yangming.
With you and Xiao Ze.
Ok.
Hello?
This is Ji Xiao.
Er,
with the new semester starting the heads of the student organizations will be replaced.
What are your plans?
Isn't it just
you sitting tight in your student union's head position?
Don't worry.
I'm gonna be there for you
at the inauguration ceremony.
What are your own plans? Miss Department Head.
Er, I'm not sure about that yet.
With how much better Liu Xi Chuan is,
I'm not sure yet.
I think that you're better than her in interpersonal and networking
skills alone already.
Really?
But she is
your cousin.
Be careful
what you say.
I never lie.
You know that.
Hello?
Are you listening?
I am, I am.
Well,
I'll listen to you then.
I'll give my best to be a good sports department head.
Your people skills
are your great advantage.
Give your best.
So are you saying
that I'm not good at anything else?
Speaking of learning ability,
your grades aren't that good.
I know that.
Do you have to rub it in?
Er...
Alright.
You should help me more then.
Besides,
natural sciences are so hard.
Now that I'm in the liberal arts class,
I even got praised by He Xin Liang yesterday.
Xin Liang praised you?
Yes.
I met him yesterday.
So I told him.
I'll take you to the library tomorrow.
I'll help you study.
Ok.
Great, great.
When do we go?
How about a bit earlier?
I'll show you my determination.
How about 8 o'clock?
We'll be there when the library opens.
Ok.
8 o'clock it is then.
Be there or be square.
Ok.
Well,
go to bed early.
Goodnight.
Little friend.
McDonalds is over there.
Just walk up those stairs and you'll see it.
Thank you, aunty.
Aunty?
Why
aren't you wearing a skirt like last time?
I thought
you wouldn't like it.
I do.
I like it.
No, no, no.
I don't like it.
Today,
you
are...
I...
Look at him, he's so handsome.
He's dressed so handsomely.
But the one next to him
wearing shabby clothes
looks like his lackey.
From now on, our sports department is officially having a new head.
Well, our new department head is
Yan Ze.
Applause please.
Yan Ze, please say something.
I don't have much to say.
You know me very well.
I just hope for a smooth future for
our sports department.
I hope that you'll find
a sense of belonging here.
Great.
And you say you can't talk?
Alright.
That'll be the end of today's
meeting.
Yan Ze, stay back.
I'll hand over some work.
These are the keys to the file cabinets and the equipment room.
And this,
this is the file of the annual sports competitions.
These are documents on the students with special talent in sports.
Alright.
I've now officially handed over
my department head position.
Finally,
I placed a student union's spy
in the sports department
for my frozen-faced cousin.
He Xin Liang.
Get in here and move the things.
Are you or am I the department head?
Why do I have to do it?
Hey.
I'll appoint you vice department head, that enough?
Stop nagging, get to it.
Who cares?
In the beginning
I thought that you two were a couple.
- Him? - Her?
Do you have to be so in sync?
Big sister,
we could never be.
Look at her, she seems nothing like a girl.
She's
a good buddy of mine.
She means the same to me as Ji Xiao.
Big sister, don't misunderstand.
He Xin Liang and I
are like sisters.
Didn't she just transfer here?
She's quite shrewd.
Who?
Xiao Zhuo An?
She has always been a good dancer.
During junior high
members of the art troupe
were into her, too.
You are quite close to her anyway.
No.
I don't really talk to her anymore.
Doesn't talk a lot?
Mr. Zheng
talks so much.
Mr. Han Lu.
Can you carry so much?
Let me help you.
It's fine, it's fine.
Just help me watch the road.
Look at our sports department,
so hopeless.
Zhuo An.
Here.
Let me carry the book for you.
You got something in your hair.
Sister.
Who offended you?
Don't talk to me.
Leaving me alone here,
she went out to have fun by herself.
The sun is the sun.
Even if the people on earth only see it 8 minutes later,
it will show its ray of light sooner or later.
Warmth
will always descend.
It's darkness which is the illusion.
