Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Pure Love Team @ Viki
My name is Chen Xiaoxi.
The most important thing in my life is drawing,
drawing,
and...
maybe just drawing.
But when I was 16,
the most important thing was ... him.
[JC, stop dreaming. I won't marry you.]
[In 2005]
His name is Jiang Chen.
We live in the same building, so we go to school together every day.
Jiang Chen, let's go to school together.
No.
He often ask to study together.
so we can help each other and make progress together.
He's very nice to me and has never been angry. Jiang Chen!
Chen Xiaoxi!
It's just that he walks too fast! I can never keep up with him
Although it seems like my youth was spent pursuing him but it's okay
I'm sure he's secretly waiting for me.
[Episode 1] [Dear Jiang Chen]
Beautiful Chenxi School, let dreams fly.
Welcome to Chenxi School, a nationally prestigious school.
Today you are proud of Chenxi School. Tomorrow Chenxi School will be proud of you.
Jiang Chen, we are in the same class again this year.
This is called destiny, don't you think so?
So the entry score of this school is quite low this year.
Five points lower than last year.
Thanks to that five points, or I wouldn't be able to get in.
How lucky I am!
Jiang Chen.
I like you.
I don't like you.
Then... I'll figure out another solution.
What should I do?
How to make boys fall in love with you?
[Be pretty. Be smart.]
Look at my little pretty face.
[Be pretty. Be smart.]
I didn't like that novel.
Girls have different tastes than I do.
Chen Xiaoxi.
I'll recommend you a new one.
Masterpiece. Hand in your paper. Time to hand in your papers!
No.
Hand in your test paper.
Seriously, Chen Xiaoxi? Copy my answers?
You always copy others' answers. How were you admitted to our school?
This test paper is quite easy, so I finished it very quickly.
So embarrassing.
Did it take you an entire class to finish this baozi?
Nonsense. This is the fifth one.
The listening comprehension test was very easy this time.
- Was it? - Jiang Chen! He is so handsome!
I think the test was overall very easy.
The writing section was hard. The topic was a little one-sided.
The title was "Pursue Your Dream".
Jiang Chen, what do you think?
I didn't write too many words, only about 1,000.
I accidentally wrote too much.
"Pursue Your Dream" was the sample composition.
The title of our composition was "Impartiality."
You didn't know that?
Look at your English test score. Your writing is totally off-topic.
Look at your rank in our grade.
You fell back 75 places than last time.
If you keep this up,
after two more tests, you will be the student with the lowest score.
Just look at Jiang Chen.
You two were from the same junior high.
How come he can have the highest score every time?
While you always have the lowest?
I understand, Teacher.
I will learn from Jiang Chen.
Goodbye, teacher.
You and I are similar in ranks.
How about we form a team?
How about "Dragon and Tiger"?
Jiang Chen, can you do me a favor?
She is Li Wei.
How can I help you?
The grammar we learned today is a little confusing for me.
Can you explain it to me?
- Tiger, you need to say something. - Okay. What seems confusing to you?
Who do you think has the smaller face, me or her?
Her?
Hers.
My face is too big. I can't team up with you.
Don't worry. That's why you'd look like a tiger.
How could we judge people by their score?
Be considerate.
Try to prepare breakfast for him, showing your tender love.
- Morning. - Morning.
Baozi for you.
Please don't prepare this for me again.
[Day 2, 7:00 a.m.] [Youtiao]
Classmate Jiang.
I read another version of the book I recommended to you yesterday.
It's not bad.
But I think it lacks some social criticisms.
I'm impressed. You are so educated.
Don't mention it.
Classmate Chen.
You're the smartest person I've ever seen.
Did Jiang Chen already leave?
It's almost eight.
It's your fifth time of this month to be late.
Grade 1, Class 8, Chen Xiaoxi.
Only seven days of this month have past.
[Day 3, 6:00 a.m.]
Preparing breakfast doesn't work.
[Confess your love.]
Stand up.
- Good morning, teacher. - Good morning, students.
Find the page in the textbook where we stopped last time.
"I wonder why my inlaid harp has fifty strings"
"each with its fret an interval of youth."
This poem is very bitterly but beautifully written.
The poet wrote it for his late wife as a love letter.
"The sage Chuangzi is day-dreaming, bewitched by butterflies.
"The spring-heart of Emperor Wang is crying in a cuckoo."
"Mermen weep their pearly tears down a moon-green sea."
"Blue fields are breathing their jade to the sun."
"And a moment that ought to have lasted forever"
"has come and gone before I knew."
Miss, do you need any help?
Is there a book that can teach me how write a love letter?
Write what?
Write compositions.
"Love is a temple"? What?
Lu Yang!
Chen Xiaoxi, do you really think this book can help you write a love letter?
You don't understand.
Don't be so ignorant.
Don't you know that I am the most popular guy in Chenxi School?
I have received at least 30 love letters.
Do you know why they all wrote love letters to me?
Why?
Because I'm handsome, witty, and considerate.
Should I trust you? This book is much more reliable.
"I want to kneel down in front of you and kiss your feet."
Maybe you can teach me how to write it.
Lu Yang.
I'm having lunch.
Here. Eat more.
Lu Yang.
Chen Xiaoxi.
My father doesn't allow me to have a girlfriend who ranks at the bottom.
I'm writing it to a guy in another school.
All right.
I'll teach you, but you need to do me a favor to pay back.
Give my chicken wing back.
You received all of these?
I wrote all of these.
Aren't you the popular guy?
Why did you write these?
If you received a letter, you need to reply, right?
That's why I wrote these to comfort others.
You are like distributing flyers.
If you help me send all these letters, I'll teach you.
Okay, I will. You are the boss now.
Let's start with the first sentence.
The opening sentence should attract the reader's attention.
Distinguished...
Stupid.
We need a very hot opening.
Hot.
Write like this:
"I love you."
Isn't it too hot?
Let me finish.
"I love your eyes."
"I love your eyebrows."
"I love your reflection in my heart that stirs a ripple."
Good. Flip it.
"You will experience a lot in your life."
"I hope in your memories I stay."
"My love is a tidal wave."
"A wave that pushes me toward you."
Where do you live?
Next to Chen Xiaoxi's home.
Are you going back?
Li Wei, is your home in this direction?
I...
I'm going home.
See you tomorrow.
I wrote a poem today. I'm not sure if it's a good one.
Do you want to hear it?
"My love is a tidal wave."
"A wave that pushes me toward you."
What do you think?
What about the rhyme?
If you're free enough, do more exercises to get a high score, instead of memorizing song lyrics.
Song lyrics?
"My world has changed because of you."
"Let's drift and wander together"
♫ to make our lives full of... ♫
They are song lyrics!
Hello.
Xiaoxi, help! Log in your QQ now!
I'll add you to a group chat.
I'll talk to you in the group chat. Thank you so much!
[Accept]
There's an activity for Chris Lee's fans tomorrow.
It'll be held in the city park. Get prepared!
Can't go. Tomorrow is my grandma's birthday.
My friend will be there for me.
Will you go there tomorrow?
Actually... I have something to do tomorrow.
Why all of you are so busy? What do you have to do? I can help you with that.
I need to write a love letter.
For my friend.
Easy. I'll help you do that.
Stop there!
I never say anything meaningless,
but I need to make things clear to you today.
I like you.
If you dare to say no to me,
I will...
I will make your school life very miserable, by all means.
If anyone wants to steal you from me
I will kill...
Who are you?
Why do you eavesdrop?
I'm not.
This is a small campus, and you were talking very loudly.
Classmate, is this school so horrible?
So you are a gang boss?
Gangster?
Yes.
So don't mess up with me.
Is she reliable?
I'll write it myself.
Worn.
[I really really like you! You're perfect in my mind!]
Worn.
Correct.
Okay, Lin Jingxiao.
You can pick the next one.
Chen Xiaoxi.
Okay.
Chen Xiaoxi.
Hurry.
Respect.
Organization.
Balance.
B-a-l-a-n-c-e.
I know this one.
Are you Wu Bosong, the new student?
Yes, your majesty.
I asked you to be here at eight.
It's already nine.
Even though you have a sport specialty, you still have to be in class on time.
Come here.
Go up there.
Dictation practice.
Boss, I'm relying on you.
Modest.
Don't look at me, boss. I don't know this one.
What are you waiting for? Write the answer.
I've told you to memorize your vocabulary. Why is it so hard?
Are you copying her answers?
Your English is probably better than hers.
That's because you have yet to teach me.
Stop cracking jokes.
Go sit down.
Why do you only know that one word?
Introduce yourself to your classmates.
Hi, I'm the new student, Wu Bosong.
I have a swimming specialty.
We'll be good friends!
Go back to your seat.
Teacher, where should I sit?
There.
Boss.
Why do you call her "boss"?
We have a long story. Right, boss?
Hey, classmate. Is Jiang Chen in the classroom?
No.
Where did he go?
Well...
What?
I head that he transferred to another school.
Which school?
I don't know.
Transfer?
Okay, it's free activity time.
I need to be the first one.
[Dear Jiang Chen:]
Listen to me carefully.
A carbon atom and an oxygen molecule.
Water is the dispersant.
Draw this graph. Okay?
They usually exist as molecules or ions.
We discussed this before, remember?
What is this talking about?
Class dismissed.
Goodbye, teacher.
Jiang Chen.
I...
Chen Xiaoxi, have you finished your task?
...wrote it with all my heart.
How dare you! All you taught me were song lyrics.
I can write way better than you.
How can you know? Help me send it.
Excuse me, is Qin Qiong in your class?
He wrote this love letter to you. Here you are.
Don't!
- Sending love letter to our classmate? - Give it back!
Students in grade 1 are brave!
- "Where is our love heading to?" - Stop!
- "A distant place or your heart?" - Stop!
- "Is there room for me inside your heart?" - Chen Xiaoxi, let's go.
"A person who secretly loves you so much.
I don't drink alcohol, but I feel dizzy when I'm with you."
- Stop him! - Chen Xiaoxi, don't. Let's go.
Don't leave so quickly. I have some comments to share.
Your writing sucks. My feet can write way better.
Chen Xiaoxi and Lu Yang are quarreling with some senior students.
Tell us, did you write this?
You dare to write a love letter, but don't dare to admit it?
Coward.
What happened?
They're reading Lu Yang's love letter.
- Reading his love letter? - Yes, that's right.
Do you even recognize all the words? Read it to me now.
Right now.
No.
I won't listen to you, tomboy.
I can help you brush your teeth, bro.
Who are you?
- A real cool boy. - Psycho.
If you like love letters, you can write some. Don't grab other's.
Look, she is my boss.
Taking her stuff means you're messing with me.
How could I stay out of this?
Why is your mouth so dirty?
I can make it worse. Want to try?
Zhang Shiliang is coming this way.
Bro, excellent.
You think you're tough? Fighting with senior students?
Are you getting too good for this school?
Not a fight. We just quarreled.
Lu Yang, shut up.
Do you think being in the first year is far from the college entrance exam?
Once you become senior students, you won't have any time to regret!
Who were in that fight? Who were watching?
All get out of the classroom.
Teacher, it's all my fault.
You know that? Yes, it's all your fault.
Sending love letters and fighting.
Sending love letters to a senior student. You like older girls?
Teacher Liu, your students have been behaving badly for many days.
- You have to punish them, or they'll end up in prison. - Okay.
Give me all the other letters.
They're not here with me.
Chen Xiaoxi, are you an accomplice?
What do you have to do with his relationships? Will he pay you?
No.
Give me.
"Where is our love heading to?"
"A distant place or your heart?"
"Can you allow me to live in your heart?"
"A person who secretly loves you so much."
"I don't drink alcohol, but I feel dizzy when I'm with you."
"I'm drunk in your arms, in this chilly fall."
You wrote all the same? You should go distributing flyers.
Oh no. He's going to read mine.
Sir, I think letters are a student's privacy. Isn't it inappropriate to read out?
Students who write love letters don't have privacy.
Our school has its rules.
Teacher, our rules don't include the right of invading privacy.
Teacher Zhang, stop reading.
Sir, we already learned our lesson.
All right. All of you, write a self-criticism text to me.
At least 1,000 words long, or you're not allowed to leave.
Boss, I've only ever written competition reports before, and not this stuff. Can you help me?
I think you're really good at it.
Okay. I'll help you after finishing mine.
Hero.
Start copying.
Thank you, warrior.
You stood up for me today.
I didn't.
Okay. I can teach you how to write this.
No, thanks.
You can't write this. It's too arrogant to sound like self-criticism.
Teachers' behaviors are not consistent with quality education principles.
You can't write that. I'm good at this. I can help you.
You were so cool earlier.
They were bullying you. Why didn't you fight back?
Listen, next time, just...
...beat them.
Students in Class 8 are not cowards.
I think the main reason was his horrible writing.
I was practicing.
Lu Yang, you said you were very popular among girls!
All right. Anyway, thank you all.
Let's go to an internet bar after school. How about that?
No.
I can't go, either.
My boss is not going, so I won't, either.
I'll shoot once I see him.
Good job, Jiang Chen.
Good shooter, just like me.
After today, we are closer than ever.
Let's form a team.
Dragon and Tiger?
You were eavesdropping on my chat with Xiaoxi. Bad boy.
I mean we can have a new team.
Wang Dazhuang's team is G4.
Our team can be...T3.
Sounds so stupid. No wonder your love letters suck.
Better than your gaming skills.
Lu Yang, it sounds like an airport terminal.
Jiang Chen, you finally remember my name!
It's not too hard for me to remember names.
One more round.
Ximen Quanxiu?
Present.
Women Are the Best? Are you here?
Present.
Man Means Nothing to Woman?
JC Love?
Is JC Love here?
Yes, I'm here.
Floating Feather?
Here.
- Where's the banner? - Right.
How could you put it in your bag?
I spent so much time making this.
A scratch on Chris Lee's face!
Why didn't you protect the banner carefully? What kind of fan are you?
Right.
Sorry, I didn't mean it.
Okay, we need to find a way to solve this.
I have an idea. Can I try?
What?
What is she doing?
Show me a photo of Chris Lee. A pretty one.
Hold it.
That's enough.
She's good!
Please vote for Chris Lee.
Vote for Chris Lee.
Thank you so much for that.
If not for you, I would have been scolded bitterly by the other fans.
By the way, who were you writing that letter to?
How do you know I wrote that?
"For my friend" usually means "for myself".
To Jiang Chen, right?
My friend says yes.
Your friend has quite a unique taste.
How can she likes such an icy person?
You don't understand.
All right. I don't understand.
Only you understand.
Should I still buy him breakfast?
It's my destiny. I can't force it.
Let's go.
Why are you smiling like that?
I just feel happy to go to school with you.
Although you didn't receive my love letter,
why do I think that you know?
Jiang Chen. Eat these baozi.
