"Episode 10"
"Year 2018"
There's a renovation going on upstairs and it's so noisy.
I might as well check into a room in a hotel to write my proposal.
Do we seem like we're having an affair?
Hurry up.
My wife gets off work at five.
I'm hungry. I want to eat.
Let me eat something.
I heard that you pasted Oxford School's motto to the bed.
I've changed it to Harvard now.
Not going to the UK anymore?
The water in UK is too hard.
If I stay there for too long, I will easily turn bald.
Actually, I really like Uncle Yan Mo's school too.
Good taste.
Mum said Uncle Yan Mo's field is very hard to get in.
Actually, it's not that hard.
The main thing is the looks.
The looks? Are you lying to me?
During the interview,
the professor will take in the students based on their looks.
Really?
Not entirely.
Occasionally, it's decided based on rock-paper-scissors game.
I'm really a bad influence on him.
In the past, he used to be a...
A decent person.
You wanted to say that I was a bore.
Hao Wu Yi is doing a research for her new book to find out,
the reasons for failed relationships.
Drought, flood, earthquake.
Tornado, mudflow, landslide.
Are you broadcasting city news?
You tell me then.
There aren't so many heroic reasons in real life.
Perhaps...
it's just because of the division for arts and science classes.
"Year 2006"
Have you decided?
Arts.
You?
Do you even need to ask that? Of course I'll choose arts.
Baby, are you trying to go for science class?
No.
Why are you hesitating then?
Master, what do you choose?
I choose...
poetry.
We've two spots to go to Beijing during summer vacations for learning.
I've got those spots for you.
-Food and accommodation included? -Yes, just provide the receipts.
I have to go then.
Next semester, there'll be class division.
Both of you chose science, right?
All right. Be sure to take it seriously.
Principal Cheng is counting on both of you to bring glory to the school.
Also...
the professor from Tsinghua University mentioned the two of you.
I'm not going to Tsinghua. I want to join the military school.
Why?
I want to join the Air Force.
Why?
It's cool.
Many girls will fall for me because of my uniform.
Zhao Guan Chao.
You're just trying to piss me off, right?
Jeez. You have Yan Mo to bring glory to the school.
I can't count on Yan Mo.
He's going to the UK.
Why is she here?
My dad agreed to let her come.
I have improved and ranked up by over 200 ranks for the exam.
So, I would like to thank you.
What about you?
Qiao Yi is here. Of course I have to come.
Mo Mo.
I left Lao Ye in the care of my mum. Besides, you leave me alone.
You'll be worried too, right?
I'm going there for a few days. I don't have time to play with you.
We're grown ups. Don't you worry about us.
I'm afraid I'll lose my money. So, I'm leaving it with you.
Me too.
Keep moving forward.
-Over here. -Over here.
The ride takes 28 hours. Are you sure?
I purposely bought for the one with the longest train journey,
because it stops at every station. That feels more like traveling.
What's wrong with it? We can chat and the time will pass quickly.
-That's right. -We can get to meet new friends too.
Here. Have a drink.
-Thank you. -Have some snacks.
-Why are you going to Beijing? -Let's eat together.
For traveling.
-What's your name? -Qiao Yi.
How many girlfriends did Guan Chao have?
About the combination of the twelve constellations and the zodiac signs.
What kind of girl does he like?
Pretty ones.
Big eyes.
How big is it?
As big as the buffalo's?
Hi, two standard rooms.
-By card or cash? -Cash.
Pay up.
We've arrived.
Wu Yi, get the luggage.
Come in.
I will come over and clean up every month.
-Thanks, aunt. -Don't mention it.
How long has it been since you came here to stay?
Mo Mo has grown up now.
I could barely recognise you now.
Right.
I'll give you some money.
Aunt, don't need for that.
Take it.
I know you've got into some troubles.
Send my regards to your parents.
-Thanks, aunt. -I'll get going.
-See you, aunt. -See you, aunt.
-See you.
Who is he?
Don't you recognise me?
-Who are you? -I'm Da Chuan.
You're Da Chuan?
You're so tall now.
How sturdy and adorable.
All of you have grown up.
-I'll go back first. -All right.
Tell me if you need anything.
-See you, aunt. -See you. All right.
-See you, aunt. -All right. See you.
You keep it.
This is my room. You can pick the other two rooms.
Qiao Yi, let's pick that room.
I'm the guest.
Qiao Yi, take shower first.
I haven't unpacked all the clothes. Why don't you go first?
I have even more clothes that I have yet to unpack.
Are you really not going?
-You go. -I'll go then.
Sorry. I don't know there's someone inside.
"The lock is broken. Please knock."
Great!
I've scored. How is it? Not bad, right?
Guan Chao, are you doing anything tomorrow?
Why?
I would like to go out for a walk tomorrow.
-Let's go together. -All right.
It's a deal then.
I'll wait for you downstairs at 10 tomorrow.
-All right. Good night. -Good night.
It'll be ready soon.
Let me tell you.
The instant noodles that I make are super delicious.
-It's different. -Is it?
Give it a try.
I'll try then.
The noodles aren't cooked.
Impossible. I've let it sit in the hot water for a long time.
Brother.
The noodles have to be cooked.
Can you do it?
Don't act if you don't know. Stop wasting the time.
If you're that great, you do it then.
Nonsense. If I know, I wouldn't have needed you.
I don't know how to cook it. You do it.
I told you I don't know how to cook it.
Looking for me?
I don't drink Coke.
You're so hard to please.
When are you going to the UK?
After graduation.
When I was young, my parents often fought.
I lied to Qiao Yi that it was the noise from the TV.
She believed it.
At that time, I thought she was easily fooled.
But later on, I realised,
she actually knows everything.
She just loves to keep her eyes closed...
and pretended that she doesn't know.
Do you understand what I mean?
I don't care what's your plan in the future.
Tell her in advance.
Let her be mentally prepared for it.
Don't let her find out about this from the others.
Let's go.
Let's go! Are you coming or not?
This.
Not nice.
This.
This is nice.
My son.
Mum.
All right.
Take a seat.
Why are you here?
I guess my future husband should be missing me.
I'm not that free.
I'm not your future husband either.
Xiao Mei purposely flew over here for you.
Is there anything?
Didn't you like Cambridge since young?
My neighbor in the UK is a professor at Cambridge.
He happens to be in Beijing for a meeting.
I want to take this opportunity to introduce him to you.
Son, you aren't aware.
The students who apply for admission into Cambridge must pass the A-level.
The most convenient way is to go directly to the UK to study it.
Get yourself prepared for the exam in October.
I'll help to do the transfer.
So soon?
It's a little early.
Time's really tight.
But isn't this what you've been looking forward to?
-Hi, Ms. Lin. -Hi.
I am the director of tonight's show.
There are a few things that I need to confirm with you.
-Let's go over there. -All right.
Have a good chat.
Son!
Frank.
Why are you hesitating?
It's because of that girl?
She has ordinary looks and is flat-chested too.
Your taste shouldn't be that bad.
She's much prettier than you.
I'm the participant of the beauty pageant.
Anyway, this isn't the point.
Don't tell me you're giving up your life goal for that girl.
This is too absurd.
The Yan Mo that I know since I was a child,
wouldn't do something that foolish.
Where did they go?
Alicia and Frank in Cambridge.
Who is Alicia?
You're at home.
That's right.
I've been having stomachache the whole morning.
Mo Mo asked me to tell you that he went to see his mum.
Aunt is back?
That's right. I think he went to discuss about going to the UK.
Yan Mo is going to the UK?
When is it?
You didn't know?
He's going to the UK to study.
The Cambridge University.
It's expected.
Other than studying,
Mo Mo doesn't seem to have any other hobbies.
How's your stomach?
-I'm fine. -I'll go out then.
It's so painful.
You didn't know?
He's going to the UK to study.
The Cambridge University.
Other than studying,
Mo Mo doesn't seem to have any other hobbies.
What's there to be upset about?
No one can't survive without anyone.
What's the matter?
I...
I miss home. I miss my mum.
It's none of your business.
Next time, I'll keep her company when she feels sad.
But I'll never make her feel sad.
He surely likes me.
He's just a little shy.
He's waiting for the chance to confess.
Here comes the chance.
You're very special today.
It's finally here.
No wonder you look different from your usual self.
Zhao Guan Chao!
-Why isn't the chair placed properly? -I'm coming.
Hurry up.
Adjust the angle.
That's right. Move backward.
That's right.
Where are the flowers?
Is everyone ready?
Quickly take a seat.
All right. The recording is about to begin.
Ready.
Three, two, one.
Our guest for today is the only Chinese,
among the principal dancers from the Royal Ballet.
Her dance is known as the most beautiful ballet in the world.
Let's welcome Miss Lin Shu with a round of applause.
Hi, Miss Lin.
She's so pretty.
As the Royal Ballet's principal dancer...
She's my mum.
I know you have been learning ballet since young.
In addition to your own talent,
you must have put it a lot of hard work and sweat.
Frank.
Frank, are you home?
Frank.
Let's talk things out.
Who are you?
My stomach hurts.
Please send me to the hospital.
Don't come near me.
I...
I'm his uncle.
Uncle?
Please save me. Please send me to the hospital.
I...
I'll call the ambulance. I'll leave first.
It's been half an hour. You're not a police officer.
You're a scammer.
What's your name? I want to file a lawsuit against you.
I am who I am.
Fei Da Chuan.
All right.
-Thank you, teacher. -Don't mention it.
Thank you, teacher.
Son.
-How was my performance? -Not bad.
Just that?
It's quite good.
This is?
She's my seatmate, Zhao Qiao Yi.
You're Qiao Yi?
Mum, I'm happy to...
Sorry, aunt.
Sorry. I mean...
That's right.
I mean...
Sorry, aunt.
I often hear Mo Mo talks about you.
-Mum, it's not often. -No?
Out of ten sentences, nine of it is about Qiao Yi.
Don't listen to my mum.
You must be hungry.
Let's eat after I get changed.
I suppose it's acute appendicitis.
We need to do further examination.
Are you his family member?
Come and help out with the urine test.
A urine test?
This is Fei Da Chuan's.
This way.
Son.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Take a look at the menu.
It's just us? How about Da Chuan and the others?
Mo, why don't you order?
This and this.
-A gherkin. -All right.
That's all.
You didn't even ask what Qiao Yi wants,
or if she abstains from certain food.
She doesn't.
She eats anything that's delicious.
You know her well, my son.
Qiao Yi, it's good that you don't abstain from certain food.
Unlike him. He's very picky.
-Enjoy. -Thank you.
You're welcome.
Eat up.
Mo, how long are you staying in Beijing?
Leaving on Saturday.
Pay Teacher Wang a visit before you leave.
Do you remember? The one who taught you saxophone when you were young.
You learned saxophone before?
He kept to himself when he was young.
I even suspected that he had autism.
I happened to have a friend who taught saxophone back then.
So, I let him join to make friends with others.
In less than two days, the teacher complained to me.
Why?
He couldn't get along with others.
So, I gave him a call and asked him.
"Son, how many students are learning with you?"
"About four to five."
"How are they getting along with you?"
"I don't know."
"Do you have any close friends?"
"No."
"Well, maybe you should communicate with them,
or invite them to our house."
"No."
"Why?"
"I couldn't talk when I play the saxophone."
Aunt, you should learn him learn ballet with you.
-Then, he'll be able to talk. -That's right. You're smart.
When he was young,
I wondered if I brought back the wrong kid from the hospital.
For someone like me...
why would I give birth to a boring kid who doesn't talk much?
-Son. -Mum.
Then, I had another suspicion.
How could I possibly give birth to such a talented child?
But...
besides me,
no one can give birth to such a good looking child.
Isn't it?
Look. He's being shy.
No.
Qiao Yi.
Next time, go to the UK.
When I'm not around,
let Mo entertain you.
All right.
Don't just sit there.
Grab the food for Qiao Yi.
Mum.
I don't plan to go to the UK anymore.
What are you talking about?
I want to study in the local university.
Why?
Everything has been prepared.
Qiao Yi.
Help me pay the bill at the front desk.
No password.
All right.
Mo.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Why?
Because of Qiao Yi?
She doesn't know anything.
I know...
you have the ability to make your own judgment.
I won't interfere with your choice.
But I have only one request.
Can you decide after discussing with Qiao Yi?
Your decision gives her a lot of pressure.
Have you considered about that?
How did it go?
Nothing. Let's go home.
Why aren't you going to the UK anymore?
Even if you don't want to go anymore,
you should find the right time to tell her.
Your mum's facial expression changed.
You shouldn't talk about it in front of the outsider.
Qiao Yi.
You're not an outsider.
Let's go back.
Have you decided?
Arts or science?
I don't know.
What is there to hesitate about?
You're good in language, English, and geography.
Who knows?
Perhaps, I couldn't resign myself to it.
Are you really not going to the UK anymore?
Aunt agrees to it?
She said she'll not interfere with my choice.
But...
that's your dream since you were a child.
You're giving it up just like that?
Are you willing to go with me then?
I can help to pick the university,
and prepare for the exam.
Perhaps, you can apply for the university in Nanchuan?
They have a student exchange program in the UK during the third year.
Don't worry. Leave everything to me.
So long as you're willing to believe in me.
I...
All right.
You agreed?
Another three minutes to go.
When are you planning to tell me?
What about?
You keep peeking at me.
It's as though you want to stick your eyes on me.
It's that obvious?
You think about me every minute, right?
You want to see me when you open your eyes.
When you close your eyes, I'm all you think about.
That's right.
You must be thinking why didn't you realise how charming this guy was?
That's what I think.
You've grown fond of me the more you see me.
The more you couldn't control yourself.
That's right.
What do you plan to do?
I don't know.
Silly.
The answer is very obvious.
To us, the times during the school days...
are so beautiful...
but we often have hazy memory of it.
They have long existed in our hearts.
We just didn't give a name to them.
Until the moment, where his gaze shines into the heart like the sun.
The thought begins to stir up in heart,
and come out of it.
You have dimples when you smile.
You should smile more often.
All right.
Great!
Thank you.
This is the end of our recording.
Please leave in an orderly manner.
It feels great to be working in a TV station.
We'll inform you when it's broadcasted.
All right. This way. See you.
-See you. -See you.
Are you our staff?
Please leave the studio.
Let's go.
