With You ~ Previously ~
Do you know what's happening with Geng Geng?
Anyway, she most likely has been suspended.
In the last question in the Physics midterm exam of Class Five,
the grades of that one question surpassed that of Class One and Two.
If it wasn't Zhang Feng, it was Geng Geng who got the question from somewhere and gave it to all of you!
From today onward, you're no longer the homeroom teacher!
Our whole class really likes Zhang Ping.
- I'm sorry. - We want him to stay.
I secretly printed the question.
How could you guys go to Dean Pan for me?
- There's a parents' meeting? - Yeah.
I still have something to do. I'm leaving.
You're scared of the parents' meeting, too?

- What are you drawing? - Nature sketching.
Stop joking, do you even know how to write the words "nature sketching"?
Let me see.
What are you drawing? The boats on the side are too small.
The ones in the distance are too big. You should draw them like this.
I don't need you to teach me. I'm happy drawing them like this.
- What's the use in drawing? - I'm going to be an artist when I grow up.
I'm telling you, when I was your age, I drew much better than you.
- I still didn't get to be an artist. - You're you and I'm me.
You'll know in a few years' time.
Your parents will only tell you to study hard. Tell you that drawing is useless.
They won't. My mom told me to get into Fine Arts High School and then Central Academy of Fine Arts.
Oh, Fine Arts High School?
Rui Rui, let's go.
My mom is calling me. I'm going.
How good would it be if my mom was like that, too.
Episode 8: But his Seatmate is Geng Geng!
Older Sister, why are you always reading?
Be like other girls and go on dates. Otherwise, how will the other person confess to you?
How do you know so much?
Hey, hey, Older Sister, buy this flower. This flower adds more favor points.
Go! Go! Go do your homework.
I've finished my homework a long time ago. Is your...
EQ too low?
I'm thinking about the parents' meeting.
Should I let my dad or Mom go?
Yeah. No matter who goes, the ending is too brutal.
I'm their flesh and blood. They won't beat me, right?
No, I'm saying, that it's too brutal for Uncle and Aunt.
Darn, brat.
You're worried about the parents' meeting, too?
Me? I, Young Master, is second place in class, okay?
I'm not you.
Looking for work?
Hiring for a short-term job
No, why are you like this?
Special situation. There's a provincial party congress. I can't leave.
What about Mom?
She seems to be in a meeting, too. What about asking your Aunt Qi to go?
What's the matter with you?
- Are you epileptic? - You're the one who's epileptic!
Come, Classmates. Let's prepare the classroom.
Then, let's clean up.
Right, those who need to fetch their parents, go now.
Put the tables in position as well.
Also, the blackboard...
The blackboard, write in big words...
Hiring for a short-term job
Little Girl, are you hiring? I know about computers, I also know how to type.
I know carpentry, painting jobs,
housework, and cooking.
Hiring for a short-term job
Are you hiring for short-term work?
Okay.
Hiring for a short-term job
Do you need to be like this?
What's there to be nervous about?
You're not nervous?
Which tie looks better?
You're going to wear a tie?
It makes me look more mature.
Which one looks better?
- This one? - That one is uglier.
This one then.
Hey, do a favor for me.
Isn't this sweet?
Mr. Zhang, I'm here.
I came to get the report cards.
- That... table– - Hey, don't move.
Don't move.
What are you listening to?
You don't seem too happy.
Both my parents can't come to the parents' meeting.
How lucky of you.
- Aunt Qi is coming. - So?
So, my family's shame is going to be known. With my grades,
if Aunt Qi sees them, how embarrassing would it be.
If the storm is to come, you can't stop it no matter what.
What kind of reaction is that?
Shouldn't you console me or give me some ideas?
I actually wish that my dad wouldn't come. I argued with him again last night.
Did he complain about your grades?
- How could he? He's used to it. Geng Geng... - Then, why...?
If I left, would you miss me?
What's happened to you?
Zhen Hua really isn't suited for me. I don't want to stay here anymore.
You scared me to death! I thought you have a terminal disease.
So... are you transferring schools?
I want to go to art school.
So, you're saying, you're leaving Zhen Hua for art?
Isn't your dad going to kill you?
"Life is precious, love is even more precious."
"But for freedom–"
Enough. I'm going to go get my freedom. Don't miss me too much.
What are you thinking about? Are your parents not here yet?
- Jian Dan. - Yes?
Why is my seatmate, Yu Huai?
Hasn't it been going well for you two to sit together?
Look, he's always at the top, I'm always at the bottom.
We're so close, yet we're so far apart. Fate is so cruel.
If you say that, aren't I the same?
What are you doing? You're smiling so creepily. Did you see a ghost?
- Why am I so smart? I'm too smart. - What?
Hey, Jian Dan.
If the two of us were seatmates, would it not be so embarrassing then?
That must be it.
Are you okay, Geng Geng?
So weird.
How about it? Can we? Can we?
- Yeah, whatever. - You're such a friend.
Geng Geng, have you seen Beta?
I haven't. I haven't seen her all morning. I'm going to pick up this call.
Hello?
- Jian Dan, have you seen Beta? - Pardon?
I haven't seen her, either.
Are you buying meat? What do you want?
This meat is fresh. Back hip.
- Shopkeeper, I want to ask you a favor. - What favor?
Be my dad.
Not appropriate, not appropriate.
- Aunt Qi! - Geng Geng.
Your school is so pretty. It's so big that it made me dizzy going around.
It's a bit hard to find your way. The design is a bit inhuman.
- You... - Your dad...
Your dad is really too busy.
- That... - How about you take me to your classroom for a look?
Okay. Okay. Let's go. This way.
How big.
I'm really close with her. She's my best friend.
Her name is Jian Dan.
Geng Geng Yu Huai
Mom, I sit here.
[Ten minutes ago] How about it? Can we? Can we?
- Yeah, whatever. - You're such a friend.
Hey, Han Xu.
What did Geng Geng say to you earlier?
She said she wants to swap seats with me.
- Hey, Jian Dan. - What's wrong?
Let's discuss something. Let's swap seats later.
- What? - Thanks!
So weird.
Hey, Geng Geng, this is your seatmate, right?
Aunt, hello. My name is Yu Huai.
How handsome. I thought the boys at Zhen Hua
were bookworms with glasses. There's even a young man with such bright spirit.
Yu Huai, aren't you going to introduce your seatmate?
Oh, Mom. This...
Hello, Aunt. My name is Geng Geng. This is...
Hello, I'm Geng Geng's dad's co-worker.
His parents have been busy, so they asked me to come to the parents' meeting.
- Hello. Geng Geng, was it? - Hello.
I've heard of Yu Huai mentioning that name.
I thought it was a boy from the name.
Mom, I'm leaving first.
Are you going home? Or are you going to go home with me after the meeting?
- I'm going home. - You...
I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang!
- So close. - Damn.
What's wrong?
- Later, it's... - You still can't remember it?
I'm just being responsible. I've remembered it.
Don't embarrass me.
Let me see.
All right. Let's go.
- Homeroom Teacher. - Yes.
Don't be nervous later. Take it calmly.
Okay.
- What are you laughing about? - Nothing.
In the future, you actually don't need to dress like that.
- Does it not look good? - It looks good!
Thanks.
I'll especially compliment you guys at the parents' meeting later.
Muck up. You changed our seats behind my back.
What? Is it shameful to be my seatmate?
You're the one talking. Didn't you change it secretly, too?
Now, the clever acts came back as stupidity, didn't it?
What are you two doing? It hasn't started yet, has it?
- Not yet. - Not yet.
- This is...? - This is my dad.
- Hello, Uncle. - Hello, Uncle. - Hello.
These are my really close classmates.
This is Geng Geng, my really close friend.
This is Yu Huai, a top student of our class. Top three.
- Hello. Hello. - Hello, Uncle. - Dad.
Have a chat with them. Try talking a bit.
Hello.
That, Be... oh, Niannian is really getting cared for by you guys here in this school. Huh?
No, Uncle. You're too modest. No such thing.
Just from the looks, both of you are good kids. You guys will do great things in the future.
This is the key moment in your life now. You need to make the best of it. Just like killing pigs.
- Hit it with a pole to make it faint first, let it bleed out, shave, skinned. All in one go, in that order.
Good. Good. It's about time, we're going in.
Goodbye, Uncle...
Just do what I've told you. Hurry.
Dad, sit here!
Do you think I did well just now?
Not bad. But later, speak less,
- Look around more, nod more. - Okay, I got it.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
You mustn't get exposed.
Beta's dad isn't as aggressive as she said. He's quite funny.
You can't say exactly. A person can be totally different in front of other people and at home.
Say that again! You're rebelling!
- Didn't we agree already? - I have nothing to say anymore.
The kids nowadays...
- I'm going to go first. - Hey! What are you doing? Why are you acting cool?
Where did you learn to act cool? What does it mean?
"Little lady, follow up."
"Little lady"? You?
A pot has a cover that matches it. With a boy like you, forget it.
I don't know why, but when I saw the classmates that we're so close with
bringing their parents here today, it feels really intriguing.
It's like, seeing a side of them beyond school.
- Did you listen to me? - I'm listening.
- What's the matter? - Nothing.
I'm just a bit annoyed with my mom.
That's called adolescence.
It's not.
Then, you were moved by what I just said?
What are you like outside of school?
The same as inside the school.
How about you teach me how to play basketball?
- Basketball? - Yeah. You play so well.
Forget it. It's not something you can learn in a day or two.
Also, we don't have a ball.
Wait.
Hey, Classmate. Can I borrow your ball? Thanks.
Yu Huai! Look! Don't we have a ball now?
Teach me how to shoot.
Hey, that's too ugly. I don't want to shoot like that, I want to shoot like this. It looks better like this.
This hand holds the ball like this. Point at the basket. Shoot.
So handsome.
Jump. Shoot.
What's wrong?
- I twisted my ankle. - Sit down first.
Is it here? Does it hurt?
It's fine.
Yu Huai's grades are so good.
[Welcome to All Parents]
Hello, Parents.
I am Class Five's Homeroom Teacher, Zhang Ping.
On everyone's table right now,
there should be a report card. If there isn't, you can ask me for one.
This is the first midterm exams for Class Five.
Next, I'll give a short analysis.
- Who are you looking for? - You're at home?
Older Sister, I am.
There are no adults at home tonight. What are you eating?
Grandma is going to come get me later.
That's about right. I was worried that you wouldn't have anything to eat.
Thank you, Older Sister. I'm doing homework now.
Keep acting, you.
Be good. Bye-bye.
How long have you been playing basketball?
Since primary school. After seeing "Slam Dunk", It's been about five, six years.
No wonder you play so well.
It's because I'm talented, okay?
There are so many people who's played basketball for longer than I did.
Did you get training?
This needs to be taught? Being interested is the best teacher.
Just like you doing Physics questions?
- Physics? - Yeah.
Every time you get a Physics question, you can't put it down.
- That's not quite the same. - How is it not?
If I had to choose one between Physics and basketball,
I would pick Physics.
Really?
Really. There's no other way for us to go.
Only by having good grades, can we go to a good university, to do the things we love.
Since we can't change the rules, we have to do the best we can.
I think, since you're so smart,
if you were to put some effort in other areas, you'll feel more accomplished.
But we're different. For us, after taking the exam, those things are all useless to us already.
- Is that how you think? - Yeah.
The average score for the whole school is higher than the average of 17 high schools
- by 5.7 points. - Geng Geng,
- seems like a sensible child. Right? - Next, I'll talk about our class standing within Zhen Hua.
She is. She's quite sensible.
It's just that her grades...
The words you said just now were influenced by Lu Xinghe, right?
Why does it relate to him?
I actually quite admire him sometimes.
He looks like he hates everything, but he actually has his own views in his heart.
We're similar in some ways. Once we focus on that path, we believe that we'll be able to get there.
But it's just that, his is too much of an escape.
That's about it for this midterm exam.
The way to learn Math is actually really simple. Pre-class preparation, listening in class,
and post-class review. Some students might be having a hard time following.
Parents, you must find the reasons and see where the problem is.
Okay. That's it for me today.
This teacher looks young. He doesn't say much but every word he speaks is very logical.
Yes.
Mr. Zhang spoke quite well.
It's true. When I was in second year of middle school, I was second to the last.
- How inspirational. - At that time, I thought,
even Zhou Mo could get high grades, why can't I?
In the end, I found out that learning isn't that hard.
That means, you joined the Physics competition also because of Zhou Mo?
Not entirely.
After competing for a while, I realized that Physics has its own beauty.
Whether it's the courageous inference about the future world or the small designs for each corner of the laboratory,
it permeates the highest level of human intelligence and their unlimited hunger for knowledge.
Every success or failure holds a chance to change the world's unlimited possibilities.
And I know, I will be undertaking a part of this great mission.
I think about this whenever I'm tired
and I'm newly filled with fighting spirits.
Of course, straightforwardly, the benefit is,
whenever I think my mom nagging too much, I can take out my grades
and cover her mouth.
When I think what you said in geography class,
I have the urge to quickly go home and read.
Do you regret coming to Zhen Hua?
No, I don't.
- Geng Geng. - Yeah?
Let's always be seatmates.
Okay.
What are the two of you doing?
Did I disturb the two of you?
What are you saying? We were just chatting.
- Hey, Beta. - Yeah?
Why haven't you gone back yet? Waiting for your dad?
- That's not my dad. - What?
Why are you breaking ties with your dad after a parents' meeting?
No. That's a fake dad I hired from the market.
I wondered, why did he start talking about killing pigs.
I thought it was some surgeon's professional speech.
Beta, how capable of you.
I can't talk anymore. The parents' meeting might be done. I need to go.
- Bye-bye! - Good luck!
Okay!
So cool.
Before finishing, I want to say something to every parent.
We were all at this age at one point.
Kids at this age have their own problems but also their own passions and dreams.
I hope every parent won't see one or two success or failures of an exam
too seriously. You need to see from the child's point of view.
Go into their hearts to communicate with them.
These three years won't only be the three years when the children grows,
it should also be the three years where me, every parent,
and children grow together.
Thank you, Everyone.
Mr. Zhang.
- I have something to say, too. - You are...?
Oh, I'm Jiang Niannian's parent.
Please go ahead.
To be able to come to this parents' meeting today, I am very moved.
Coming to this school and seeing the school's spirits and the teacher's professionalism,
the great reputation is not let down. Just as Mr. Zhang said just now,
I think, teaching children is like killing pigs.
No, no. Killing pigs,
it's not just about being forceful and having a fast knife, cutting like this...
The knife is blunted and you have a pile of broken meat,
there's no effect. Isn't that right, Mr. Zhang?
You need to use your technique to find the pig's bone, cut it along the bone.
It's fast, requires less effort, and doesn't blunt the knife.
Right?
It's just like teaching kids.
We can't use our own way of thinking to forcefully control their way of thinking.
We need to find the roots of their problem,
then what?
We lead them.
Mr. Zhang, do you say that's the logic?
Yes.
[Surgeon]
I still have something to do. How about you go first?
What do you have to do?
Why is that your business?
Oh! It must be your mom going to give money to Zhang Ping as a present, right?
Your mom is the one who's going to give money to Zhang Ping!
No wonder you were being so sneaky.
All right, all right. Go home first.
Okay, okay. I'll go, I'll go.
- Be careful when you cross the road. - Okay.
Walk slower, I want to take a picture.
Be careful when you go back.
- You even delivered a speech? - Not just a speech,
the applause was so loud, too.
Okay, okay. That...
- Thank you. - Forget about it.
Coming to Zhen Hua this time has given me a deep impression.
If I have a child in the future, I'm going to let him come to Zhen Hua, too.
- You don't have children? - None!
Okay, okay. No, we made a deal. Here. Thank you.
Okay.
Your grades aren't too great.
What are you doing? Are you a pervert?
- What are you looking at? - Waiting for my mom.
Bullsh*t. Is there anyone who would wait for their mom like this?
I'm going over first.
Mr. Zhang, how is Xu Yanliang?
I only have one requirement from him. That is, eat less snacks and exercise more.
Everything else is fine.
- Thank you, Mr. Zhang. - It's nothing.
I have a question to ask first.
Mr. Zhang, I am Yu Huai's mother.
- Hello, hello. - Hello.
Yu Huai is an excellent child.
He is very autonomous with his studies.
He is also very smart. Don't worry.
Mr. Zhang,
the reason I came to you is because...
I was thinking, could you change his seat?
- I was hoping he could sit with a boy. - Mom!
Yu Huai's mother,
you're very traditional.
Mr. Zhang, you don't know.
He lied to me. He said his seatmate was a guy.
He knew that I would never let him sit with a girl.
- When he was in middle school, he and his seatmate– - Mom!
Yu Huai's mother, I can understand.
Yes, at his age,
parents would have this kind of worry if his seatmate was such a good looking girl.
But his seatmate is Geng Geng, there's no problem.
Geng Geng, you haven't left yet?
We were just talking about you.
Since Geng Geng is here, I'll talk about my perspective.
Yu Huai and Geng Geng are both good children.
Good children knows very well.
As their homeroom teacher, I will also be mindful of supervising and teaching them.
Please do not worry. Just like Jiang Niannian's–
What Jiang Niannian's father said, to be mindful of the way of teaching.
Otherwise, being too harsh will have the opposite effect.
Mr. Zhang, thank you.
I'll find another day to come talk with you individually.
It's inconvenient to reveal the reason now.
Thank you.
Geng Geng, Aunt isn't targeting you.
Don't blame me. You're a good child.
I heard what happened earlier.
But, I'll never talk about it. Aren't I super nice?
Do you think those parents are mute?
Anyway, I'm sure that thing earlier must be very interesting.
But it has nothing to do with you, don't worry.
What's going on? Are you hoping that it has something to do with you?
Don't think that hiring a fake dad means nothing would happen. You're on your own now.
This time, you only got rank forty or so in the exam.
I know you've worked hard.
You didn't do so well this time. Study harder next time.
This child.
Where are you going?
Drive first!
Geng Geng, was it? I thought it was a boy from the name.
Let's be seatmates then. I'll help you.
I would never let him sit with a girl.
- When he was in middle school, he and his seatmate– - Mom!
You're a good child. Don't blame me.
- I want to swap, too. - But does she want to?
I do.
I'll find another day to come talk with you individually.
It's inconvenient to reveal the reason now.
Yu Huai, do you know, I actually really like...
...sitting with you.
Geng Geng, let's always be seatmates.
Driver, can you drive slower.
What's wrong? You don't want to go home?
Young Lady, cry if you want to.
Driver, you're so nice.
Drive for ¥50 (~USD$7) first.
Okay!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Always by my Side Team 💞 at Viki
Yu Huai. Can you talk with Mom?
Talk about what?
Today, I really didn't know Geng Geng was there. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that.
What about Zhou Mo? What did you say to him?
I didn't say anything.
Zhou Mo called me last week. I wasn't there so you picked it up.
You asked him everything about me at school.
You even told him to watch me so I don't walk too close with girls, right?
- I just said it once. - Can you not be so annoying?
What did you just say? Say it again!
I said, you're annoying!
I'm annoying? Do you know how much I've worried?
Who am I doing this for? Look at my clothes.
How many years have I worn this?
Do you think I don't want to wear new clothes?
Your dad is in Africa working hard for so many years.
He just wants to earn a bit more money for this family.
For a bit more insurance for your future!
Who are your dad and I living for?
Isn't it all for you?
Do you know last time, when you and your seatmate named Chen...
Do you know how worried we were?
Once your dad knew about that,
how many days was he unable to eat and sleep?
He wouldn't let me tell you that.
He wouldn't let me tell you the hardships he went through over the years.
If you went off the tracks,
then both of us will be devastated. It will be the end for this family! Do you know?!
Yu Huai! Stand there!
Yu Huai! Where are you going?!
Come back here.
With You
~ Preview ~
- You two are in a cold war? - Why would I wait for him? Let me pass.
Your mom is too impressive. I heard it all.
There is no need for you to be in a silent war with each other. Right? Reconcile right after the fight.
You fought with Yu Huai because of this, right?
It's a day off on Friday. Every class can organize their own Autumn trip.
Yehey!
If there's someone who doesn't want to go, raise your hand.
Did Yu Huai not come because he doesn't want to have fun with us?
I hope that we can always be like how we are now!
I like!
- Who? Who? - You're an artist.
I'm just an ordinary person.
You're not ordinary.
