[Skate into Love]
[Episode 1]
Dear audience, welcome! Today, you're watching
the Hucheng Cup Youth Short Track Speed Skating Tournament.
In this tournament, we invited 42 high schools in the province
and over 200 athletes to come participate.
Short track speed skating is a winter Olympic sport.
Athletes will speed skate down the short track.
- The competition uses an elimination system, including heats... - Go Tang Xue!
...a semi-final, and final.
What you're about to watch is the women's 500-meter finals.
Four athletes will compete on a 111.12 meter track
for 4.5 laps.
As long as they are not breaking the rules of the sport, athletes can overtake each other at any time.
This will make today's competition very exciting!
Let's look forward to it!
[Tang Xue] Go to the start.
Ready.
The competition starts!
Number 60, Tang Xue, is in the lead already, behind her is number 302, He Mei, and number 105, Zhao Xiaoyu
in second and third place. There are 3 more laps.
As we all know, the 500-meter is a short race. The starting speed is crucial.
Will Tang Xue maintain her position or will other athletes pass her?
We can see that He Mei, still in second, is closing the gap, looking for a chance to pass Tang Xue.
Two more laps. He Mei is moving away from the curve, using the outer track to move ahead.
Zhao Xiaoyu is on the inner track, in one move she overtakes Tang Xue and He Mei.
Tang Xue is accelerating from the outer track, she's moving really quickly.
Nice, she passed them!
It's the last lap!
Nice! Tang Xue is the first to the finish line. Tang Xue wins!
Tang Xue, you performed well today. Keep practicing!
If you try, you can make it into the national team.
Master Tang?
Master Tang? Master Tang?
Master Tang!
I'm dreaming such a good dream, why did you wake me up?
Did you fart?
It's all my dad's fault.
Before I return to school,
he insisted on making stewed pig trotters with soybeans and stewed radish and ribs.
Is this my fault? These two things are in my stomach right now creating chemical reactions.
Stop laughing. After not seeing me for half a month, do you miss getting beaten up?
No, no. Since I came all the way to escort you to LUU, don't be angry at me anymore. (LUU is short for Lincheng Union University)
Fine. Thank you, this straight-A medical student from Lin Da University, for coming with me.
What are you saying? No matter which department,
I'll follow you anywhere. Heaven and Earth are my witnesses!
How about you transfering to our veterinary medicine department?
After all, seeing animals and humans are both saving lives, right?
My goal is to be like your mom, that kind of great doctor.
Although I'm not saying veterinarians aren't great, too, I'm not changing.
In the short track speed skating world cup that just ended,
Wu Dajing yet again showed his ability
and won the gold medal for the men's 500-meter short track skating.
Wu Dajing was in the lead from the beginning
and reached the finish line in 39.836 seconds.
Winning China's first gold medal this season for short track speed skating.
Next, we'll do a brief interview
with Dajing. Hi, Dajing.
- Hello. - Welcome to our live interview.
Now, we want to ask Dajing, after winning the gold medal,
how are you feeling at this moment?
Can you share it with everyone?
Right now, I'm very excited.
And I feel very fortunate.
Before, I thought a lot about gestures to do as I crossed the finish line, but I forgot all of them.
- You forgot all of them? - Yes, all of them. - You must really be too happy and excited.
Next, I want to ask Dajing, as the main strength of our Chinese speed skating team,
as a top skater,
what gave you the strength to make it to where you are today?
I wouldn't say I'm the top, but as an athlete, the most important thing is perseverance.
Every athlete will face obstacles, setbacks, and times of bewilderment.
During this time, be yourself and trust yourself
to fulfill your dream. In the end, you will stand on the award podium.
Yes, Dajing said it well. I believe that Dajing's success today
is definitely due to
his hard work and determination.
Master Tang, look, look!
Isn't that the athlete you trained with before?
If I remember correctly, you trained in speed skating
for around 8 years, right?
Yeah, but only the people who endure until the end
have the chance to cross the finish line.
Since the slogan of having 300 million people on ice started,
China has been greatly supporting winter sports and related industries.
In order to drive up the momentum of hosting the 2022 Winter Olympics,
more and more people are experiencing the thrill of winter sports.
Behind me, what's happening is the College Ice Hockey League Tournament.
XDragons team from LUU and Red Beards team from Qingcheng University.

Nicely done!
Here!
Look! There are only a few people in the audience, and they're all here to see you.
When will hockey become popular?
Just focus on playing well, and in the future, more people will come to watch.
Boss, look. Li Yu Bing's performance this year has improved a lot again from last year.
His potential is truly unlimited.
Very good. Take good care of Ice God. Our whole club is depending on him.
What are you afraid of when I'm here?
How is the assistant matter I asked you to take care of?
I interviewed over 100 candidates. There's not a single one Ice God is satisfied with.
But don't worry, look how popular Ice God is.
The line to sign up goes all the way outside the school.
- Trust me, we'll have an assistant soon. - Good.
[XDragons: 4, Red Beards: 4]
[5 seconds left]
Hey!
[Lincheng Union University]
[Accepting New Recruits]
Do you want to take a look?
This suits me.
[Athletic Assistant Recruitment] - Really? Then are you going to sign up, Master Tang? - How do I sign up?
You two are freshmen, right?
Freshmen have a more lenient schedule, so you're pretty suitable for doing part-time work.
But this position is very hot right now, you might not be able to get in.
Why is that? Is it because the benefits are very good?
Of course, the benefits are good. But other than that, what is more appealing,
you can see the hockey team on the rink. Do you know the hockey team?
The best looking guys in the school are all on that team.
Then, wouldn't I have no chance to get in?
D-Don't be that pessimistic now. Do you know how to ice skate?
Not only does she know how on this matter, but I also have to tell you,
our Master Tang got first place in our Hucheng's short track speed skating.
She even met with the city governor that time.
Fill out the forms. After that, you'll just have to see your luck.
- Are you going to sign up? - If you sign up, I'll do it, too.
You were so outstanding before, but now you don't skate anymore?
I had to study.
Our Master Tang is going low-profile, but she skates very well.
[Tang Xue]
Master Tang, I'll just send you off here then.
If you have any pretty roommates then...
- Annoying! - ...remember to introduce me to them!
Bye-bye.
This dorm is too nice, isn't it?
Master Tang! I missed you so much!
How is it? I specially came back early to decorate it for you.
Not bad. You've done a great job.
Do you like it?
Your taste is a bit too much, huh?
I have a heavy taste in things? Don't you think they're cute?
[Sterilization] You're already studying up on veterinarian courses?
No, this is studying on male anatomy. It's just extracurricular reading for pure enjoyment.
Huan-huan, you really taught me what it means
that college would refresh my worldview, view of values, and view of life.
Are you scared of loving me now?
That's right! When I was coming in, I saw a club that was recruiting, so I signed up.
- You signed up? We'll be together. What club? - Yeah.
On-Ice Club.
Don't worry. I, Master Tang, will never leave you. I'll take you with me wherever I go.
A beautiful college life starts with joining a club.
My idol. I hope that one day I can be like you and be a world-class hockey athlete.
And let more people know the strength of the Chinese Hockey Team.
Right now, they're savoring their time to practice.
- How are the team players for this season? - Not bad.
Li Yubing?
Ice God, how come you're at LUU?
Of course, it's because I invited him. Xu Feng, let me introduce you.
This is Li Yubing, our club's most outstanding hockey athlete.
The current "Ice God," playing center forward, just like you did.
I don't dare to be called Ice God in front of Xu Feng.
He's the first person to be able to enter KHL (Kontinental Hockey League). The current celebrity athlete.
I've watched your games before. Your speed is fast and offense is sharp.
You're able to score without waiting for the opposing team to react. You're doing great.
I'll continue to work hard. Actually, you're my idol; my goal.
I hope to one day be like you and enter into KHL and bring honor back to the country.
He has ambition. But as a senior, I must remind you.
Dreams are always wonderful. But on the journey to fulfilling one's dreams,
it's arduous, perhaps even very cruel.
You won't shrink back, right?
Idol, back then you must have been like me.
Have you cowered back into fear?
In my dictionary, there's no such phrase as "shrinking back"!
Then we must be using the same dictionary.
Looking good. But you must remember these words you said to me today.
In the future, no matter what difficulties or setbacks,
don't shrink back, endure to the end, and then success will definitely come.
I will persevere to the end. And hopefully, follow your footsteps shortly and enter KHL.
Okay! I'll be waiting for you in KHL.
Okay now, I still have some things to discuss with Xu Feng. Let's talk later.
Okay.
Li Yubing, good luck.
Good luck, Ice God!
Umm, don't we have another roommate here in our dorm?
Oh here? She's not back yet. Her name is Ye Liuying, majoring in philosophy.
Okay. I'll be going to take a shower, I smell awful.
Our dorm's showerhead broke. The dorm monitor said that they can only come and fix it tomorrow morning.
But I can't just be stinky the whole day, right?
I heard from our neighboring dorm that you can shower in our school's gym. Why don't you try there?
Gym? All right then.
You're a senior player here, as a junior in college, yet you're still so impetuous.
Guess who I just met?
Why'd you just leave and not care for me?
I saw my idol!
Your idol?
China's number one ice hockey player, Xu Feng?
- That's right. - Who plays in KHL?
Why did he come to LUU? I want his autograph!
He left already. You just sit now.
I really hope one day I can play alongside him.
Oh right, Big Jiang.
I'm very sorry to say that I didn't find your tooth.
I found it. It was in his gum.
It hurts so bad.
Aren't I handsome?
Lose five more teeth and you'll be more handsome than famous hockey star Brian Boyle.
You can even go play in the NHL.
I say, are you really okay?
In order to save me... this is your second tooth, right?
Are you okay? The competition was over yet you went to throw a punch.
- Now you're hurt, huh. - He's worse than me, I'm fine.
If you're fine, then so am I.
I still have to remind you, be careful. Don't have any teeth by the time Brother Wei gets back.
That can't do. I'm still waiting for Wei-wei to treat us for dinner. How can I eat without teeth?
I'm off.
- You're leaving me alone again? What are you up to now? - Showering.
Hey! The lights aren't working there!
Today's been full of bad luck.
Hey, Bro, lend me your shampoo. I didn't bring any.
What's this?
Not soap. Shampoo.
Shampoo.
Hey, Bro. What's your major? You are showering really late at night.
Your shampoo smells really good.
It's like a girl's shampoo.
Which team are you on? We're both in sports. Do you have a problem digesting?
Want me to provide you with a nutritional meal plan?
Thanks!
Bro?
You don't even turn off the water, so wasteful.
[Tang Xue]
Master Tang, you showered really quickly. How was it?
It was pretty good. I am going to sleep now.
[Female Dormitory]
When I came back yesterday, you already
fell asleep. Since we will live together for a long period of time,
I feel like it is necessary for me to introduce myself.
Hi, my name is Tang Xue.
Hi, my name is Ye Liuying. My major is philosophy.
Are you from the sports major?
No, my...
major is Veterinary Medicine in the agricultural college.
A veterinarian?
Democritus once said that humans are almost always
the followers of animals. When knitting, they learn from spiders.
When building, they learn from swallows.
When dealing with something in music, they learn from owls and swans.
P-Pretty good.
You carried a lot up here all by yourself.
How is that possible? A nice person brought it up here and I just picked it up.
Can I ask a question?
Definitely!
How come I can't meet a kind-hearted person?
Classmate, if you run into a guy outside,
it doesn't matter if he is tall, rich, and handsome or chubby and round,
if you call him "handsome boy,"
most of them will become a kind-hearted person. If you don't believe me, you can try it.
Handsome boy.
Handsome boy?
Wait! Master Tang,
what happened to you?
Did I do something wrong again?
No matter what I did wrong, I apologize beforehand.
You should just call me Xiao Liao or Xiao Yu.
If that doesn't do it, call me stupid.
Don't be like this, I'm really a bit scared.
Cut the nonsense. Add one more serving of breakfast.
Go to the front door of the Agricultural College.
- Breakfast. - Thanks!
Your boyfriend?
Classmate, come over here.
- Me? - Come. Come.
Look in my eyes.
Am I blind?
Master Tang, come.
Master Tang, is she your roommate?
What is your intent?
When she smiled earlier, my heart burst.
It's love at first sight!
Friendly reminder:
she was reading an encyclopedia on male sterilization yesterday.
Huan-huan, it's time for class!
Thanks for your breakfast!
Male Sterilization Encyclopedia?
She's kind of dangerous, but she's cute and
youthful. I like it.
Manager Ma.
My Ice God.
Hurry, come over here.
You were looking for me?
Yes, I am picking out an assistant for you. I want to listen to your opinion.
I already said that I don't need one.
Just look at it for a second. I've been going through the applications for so long.
Just-Just five minutes.
This girl, I saw her in-person.
She looks really beautiful. Your mood just becomes better by looking at her.
Also, this one.
She knows martial arts. Later on, she can be used as half a bodyguard.
Okay.
This person is not good.
Oh, and also this one. Let me tell you.
Her major is nutrition. She is smart.
[Tang Xue] In the future, we will have a menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
[Tang Xue]
It's her?!
I don't want to have anything to do with her for the rest of my life.
No.
This is a once in a lifetime chance.
I want her.
B-But, Tang Xue? Wait.
But she is in the veterinarian major. What can she help you with?
I want her to stir up my...
I never realized that before.
He is the legendary Hawkeye Zhuo.
Hello, everybody. I am your professor for veterinary medicine. My name is Zhuo Guoqiang.
This is your first course in college after military training.
I have a question for everybody. It is
why did you guys choose veterinary medicine as your major?
Why is he called Hawkeye?
I heard the upper class say that
he torments his students.
He takes attendance each period. You can't be tardy or skip class.
The tests are also very hard. Most important,
there is no cheating scenario where he can't catch. That's why he's called Hawkeye.
Does he not know that "virtue is one foot tall, the devil ten foot?" (T/N: idiom: it takes constant vigilance to stave off evil)
This student,
you have something to say, right? Please say it.
I was transferred here.
Oh. What was your dream before?
Do you want the truth or lie, Professor?
Of course the truth. Telling the truth is a virtue.
I wish that I don't have to go to classes, turn in homework, or take tests to graduate successfully.
You, sit down.
I even want to not teach and get my salary.
What's your name?
Tang Xue.
Okay, I'll remember it.
You will have to attend all my classes.
I will quiz you on the main points.
How about the student next to her?
Professor, my dream is to have whales and polar bears as my patients. I think that would be super cool.
Please sit.
If a person doesn't have a dream, it's like a walking corpse. You will not be passionate towards the major you are learning.
If you are not passionate enough, then it will be hard to achieve long-term persistence.
In the future, how hard you work has nothing to do with me.
But being responsible to the animals, I wish that
everybody will uphold an attitude in their hearts.
And that is passion.
You should also have a standard called "professionalism."
I will take attendance for every class.
If you skip class for 3 or more times, then it will be counted as not passing your final exam.
I will also have pop quizzes based on what we learn each week.
Do you guys understand?
Yes.
Okay, let's start the class.
Please open your books to page one, chapter one, and paragraph one.
[Passion]
Congratulations!
Originally, you should also be here.
Short track speed skating to you is a career.
But to me, it can only be a hobby now.
[Passion]
Master Tang! Master Tang!
Master Tang!
Master Tang, let me tell you the latest news for LUU.
Yesterday, there was a female pervert who attacked the Ice God at night.
There's also a video.
Hey!
[Inside Story: Perverted Sasaeng Fan Waiting for Ice God]
So perverted.
Don't spread rumors.
Perhaps she was just a passerby.
How could that be possible? Why would a passerby
frantically run in the middle of the night, right?
Master Tang.
Didn't you go to the showers last night, too? Did you see the pervert?
I think I've seen someone who runs like that in the past.
I was in the female showers.
How many days have you been here and you know who it is?
Master Tang, who knows? This may really be a freshman like us.
Do you believe?
Seriously, look.
She really got into LUU.
It truly is enemies on a narrow road. (T/N: idiom: an inevitable clash between enemies)
Let's go.
You don't feel well?
A... little bit.
She's trying to mimic how I walk.
What a laughingstock.
You cannot copy half of my elegance even if you learn for 500 years.
What's this situation now?
What are you doing?
Congratulations on being admitted to LUU's XDragons Club.
Please come report with your valid student ID to LUU's gym this afternoon.
I've been accepted.
I've been accepted!
Careful, careful, careful.
What did you get accepted in? You're so excited.
I am the manager here at XDragons Club.
My last name is Ma. You can call me Manager Ma.
I'll introduce them since you might not know them yet.
Last year, LUU and our XDragons Club
started a program that allowed for enterprise and higher education to collaborate here at the On-Ice Club.
The club includes the hockey team,
figure skating team, and short track speed skating team.
This time, we were recruiting for the athlete's manager position.
Most importantly, it's to take care of our hockey team's
top-rate star, Ice God.
I heard someone secretly saw him taking a shower.
Have you caught him?
Ice God has a lot of fans of every kind.
Also, Ice God didn't see clearly who it was so we're just going to let it go.
So, Manager Ma, there were so many applicants, why did you choose me?
It's because...
we thought that you were very suitable after a very extensive filtering process.
Uh, didn't you practice short track speed skating?
You're able to understand the habits of athletes better.
Did she sign yet?
Almost.
This is your labor contract. Take a look and then sign your name.
This is my ID.
Look at you! This girl is full of life.
Actually, this job is pretty simple.
You just have to help Ice God do various small tasks and arrange his daily schedule.
Of course, to put it simply, you represent our club
to bring warmth to Ice God.
Of course, because you are Ice God's assistant, so your hourly wage
is double that of other part-time work.
I will make him die of heat. (T/N: her job is to bring him warmth from the club)
Y-You might not know Ice God.
He is a legendary person.
The biggest reason why our XDragons Club collaborated with LUU is because of him.
Male sports fans find his skills to be good.
Female fans find him to be handsome. School administrators
find him to bring honor to the school. The Chairman thinks he'll be the future Xu Feng.
And so, he really is a person who is loved by all, to the extent flowers bloom and tires burst when they see him.
Then he must really be served with the utmost respect as if he is your ancestor.
So many people have fought to become his assistant.
Actually, these last pages of the contract just talk about earthquakes,
tsunamis, etc., those unexpected circumstances that may come up. You know, it's super boring.
That's right. Is it really true that you can skate for free?
Of course.
Manager Ma,
I have two other friends
that also want to join our club.
Can you help out?
If they can ice skate,
then, of course, that's not a problem.
Thank you!
Ancestor, we'll be coming now!
Hello, I am Tang Xue.
You... are my new assistant?
Yes.
This person looks so familiar.
Li Yubing?
It's you, Li Yubing?
Li Yubing, what are you looking at?
I'm not looking at anything.
Li Yubing.
Look at... this!
Look at this!
Li Yubing!
I threw it away already! See, there's nothing in my hands now!
Li Yubing!
Li Yubing! Stop running!
