♪There’s no need to wander anymore♪ [Memory of Encaustic Tile] [Adapted from Beifeng Sanbaili’s original novel “Memory of Encaustic Tile”] [Episode 7] [Get the Taste of Being Worried for the First Time] I wonder how Mr. Sun is doing in the hospital. Don’t worry. Even I can recover from this. I’m sure he’s fine.
I heard that Qiaomu’s school was closed off as well. [Liuli Hutong] Were there cases in the art school? No. But many schools were closed off. I wonder when this epidemic will end. Yeah. It’s worrying. Everyone is working hard. It’ll pass soon. Let’s go. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.
I miss you so much. I even dreamt of you last night. You missed me, right? You’ve gotten slimmer. What did you buy for me? Hey, seems like your school has a dense artistic atmosphere. There are no confirmed cases in your school, right? No. Many of our classmates have gone home.
The dorm isn’t sealed off. It’s just that we can’t exit the school. Does the canteen still provide meals? Of course. We would have nothing to eat if they didn’t operate. We would starve to death. You have a point. Stop coughing. People will think that you have the disease. You’re right.
So why did you come today? Oh yeah. I forgot about this. I… I bought some food for you. I bought the isatis root infusion for you as well. You can use them for now. If you realize that you lack something, just tell me. I’ll send them to you.
We have them in the school. You don’t need to worry. How could I not worry? I missed… Mr. Sun and I missed you very much. Send my regards to Mr. Sun, okay? Is there anything else? Nope. I’ll return then. Go now. Don’t catch a cold. See you then. Call me
If you need anything. Goodbye. What are you staring at? Sorry about that. This fried chicken is pretty good. Where did you get them? There’s so much delicious food. Did your boyfriend send them to you? That’s not it. Who is it then? Is it your crush? Do you think I’m you?
We’re just doing our internship together. -Oh, internship. -Internship. Qiaomu, he gave you a mobile phone. It’s a mobile phone. It’s in red. It’s the newest model. [Kou Siyuan] [Take good care of yourself. Tell me if you run out of credit.] Who is it? Show it to us. -Show it to us. -Yeah.
Where are you going? [China Mobile, menu, contacts] [Goods Sold Here] (On the 22nd of May,) [Corner Sundry Shop] (to do their revision for the NCEE.) This spells the end of it, right? Of course. It has to end by now. Hurry and pack our things. I’m ready. Where are you guys going? Mr. Sun asked us to head to the Restoration Department to pick some cherries. The cherries will be spoiled if we don’t pick them soon. Hurry. You guys are picking cherries? I want to go as well! Why are you following us?
I want some cherries! Let’s go! You’re such a glutton. Who do you take after? Aren’t you asking the obvious? And that one! That one! This one! -Which one? -This one! This one! All of them are ripe. Go now. Mr. Zheng! Mr. Zheng! I’m here to help you wash them. Just pour them inside.
Okay. Senior. Look on top. The cherries are sweeter when they’re exposed to the sun. Go up. I’ll pick them for you. Sunian, why does the cat like you so much? Make the cat like me as well. What are you saying? Since young, you have been unwelcomed by critters. Don’t you know that yourself?
What are you saying? Make it smaller. Come, Xue. You need to eat up. If not, your big sister will consume everything. Look at how she’s enjoying her food. Sunian! [Horse] Check. What nonsense is this? I quit. You always cheat. Master! Comrades! Come and have some cherries! The cherries are ready! Coming!
Red and sweet cherries! Master, come. We’ll surely win in the next round. Don’t touch them before washing your hands. Come! Hurry, kid! Have you washed your hands? Not yet? Come. Thank you, Mister. It fell off. Is it sweet? I haven’t tried it yet. No one wants to play with him.
-Have some cherries. -No. It’s too sour for me. It’s especially sweet. Sunian, Zhang Qi, come and take a look. I just washed them. Here. This photo… This photo is very precious. Who is it? Look over here. Is there anyone -you know? -Mr. Sun. Baiqing? He’s wearing a protective suit. That’s right. You’re right.
Can you guys tell which one of them is Baiqing? [Pizza Hut] Cheers. To the end of the epidemic! To our school’s reopening! -Zheng Sunian! -Sunian, can you not spoil our mood? -Eat up. -Thank you. You should eat up. Why are you serving her? Just eat your pizza. You guys should eat up.
This meal is on me. Why are you suddenly treating us to a meal? I just want to thank everyone for taking care of me. You’re too courteous. I’ll treat you guys to a meal next month. At least you had treated us to a meal before, unlike someone
Who hasn’t treated us to a meal before. Do you know how many people want to treat me to a meal? You guys are taking my presence for granted. Wu Huan, did something happen? I… I don’t plan to continue my study. During the epidemic, I couldn’t find a job.
We were really tight on cash. So I plan to work hard and earn money. And with my grades, I think there’s no need for me to continue my study. So after this meal, we will cease to be classmates. But we will be friends forever. I will work hard and earn more money
So that I can treat you guys to better meals. I wish you guys luck. Good luck to me as well. I wish you luck. What are you doing? Aren’t you eating? It’s about Wu Huan. He’s going to drop out of school. Why? He needs to work and support his family.
He needs to take care of his mother too. This child had it rough since young. Of course. He was born without a father. His mother is always sick as well. They’re barely surviving with the government’s aid. I heard that Wu Huan was working during his free time. But when the epidemic came,
It was even tougher for him. I realized that I wasn’t his true friend. I didn’t even know that he was in such a difficult position. And he treated us to a meal at Pizza Hut today. Eating is the only thing you know. How much did you eat?
Remember to return the money to him tomorrow. That’s not suitable. Wu Huan takes after Xin Jie. They have great pride. Wu Huan is nothing like her. Wu Huan has a nice personality. He’s unlike his mother at all. How about this? Let’s create a donation fund for him in secret
To pay for his living expenses. That way, he’ll be able to go to school. If you truly want to do this, I’ll be the first to donate. Xue. Xue. Zhang Qi? Have you eaten? Mister, Madam. I had my dinner outside. In the future, you can come to our house for dinner
When your mother isn’t around. You’re too courteous. I’ve never treated you guys as outsiders. Why were you looking for me? Come on. I have something huge to discuss with you. I’ll leave now. -Hurry! -Let me change my shoes! This child is so reckless. Our daughter is getting more and more sensible.
She takes after you. Of course. It’ll be troublesome if she takes after you. I summoned everyone here today to discuss Wu Huan’s matter. Wu Huan is dropping out of school mainly because of huge economic pressure. Why don’t we… Set up a fund to help him get through this?
How did you know what I was going to say? Because we are always in sync! Sunian, what do you think? I’m not sure about that. It’s Wu Huan’s decision to drop out of school. Actually, we shouldn’t interfere. I agree. We just need to set up a fund and deliver the money to him.
As for the money itself, he can choose whether to use it for school or to pay his living expenses. I agree. Alright. Let’s do it tomorrow. I can only help out. I won’t join you guys. Why? Everyone has a right to choose. They don’t need others to interfere with their decisions. But he’s
Our good friend. Even so, he can make his own choice. We should respect his decision. Bye. This girl is getting more and more heartless. ♪The bicycle bell rings and takes me back to the alley I saw in my dream♪ [Donation] Shao Xue, 200 yuan. Zheng Sunian, 200 yuan. I’m donating my all.
This 500 yuan is my pocket money for the entire week. Alright, write that down. ♪The Forbidden City made from red walls and encaustic tiles in my memory♪ Ms. Li, Ms. Liu, thank you for providing us with a venue. ♪Unlike the hustle and bustle of everyday life♪
Don’t be so courteous. Why are you thanking us? These children are so kind. We should donate as well. How much will you donate? Two hundred yuan. -Thank you. -Come. I’ll donate 200 yuan as well. Thank you. Ms. Liu, 200 yuan. Thank you for the support. It is another 400 then. -Xue. -Mom?
I’m here to support you guys as well. Thank you, Mom! Write it down. It is 500 yuan. You guys can continue. I’ll make something delicious for you guys back home. Thank you, Mom. Xue, good for you. Thank you, Ms. Jin Ning. I support you guys.
♪We wanted to grow up as soon as possible♪ Sunian, she donated 500 yuan. [Donation records] Thank you, Ms. Yu. Ms. Yu, 200 yuan. Mr. Sun, 200 yuan. Thank you. This is just a small sum. Thank you, Mister. Thank you, Miss! You will be blessed! Thank you!
♪Now, each of us has gone through a lot♪ ♪We have grown up♪ ♪Finally confirming that love is faith♪ ♪There’s no need to wander anymore♪ We actually collected this much money? Of course, we’re the organizers, you know? Why is there an additional 1,000 yuan? It’s from my mother.
Ms. Zhang Lin is really generous indeed. She’s an able woman indeed. Let’s go! -Wu Huan! -Huanhuan! -Wu Huan! -Huanhuan! -Wu Huan! -Huanhuan! -Wu Huan! -Xue? Why are you guys here? Come in. Who’s here? My friends are here. Hello, Madam. Have a seat. Sit down. Have a seat. I’ll get some drinks.
Here you go. Thank you. You guys haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll make lunch for you guys. No need for that. We’re here to deliver good news to you. What good news? Here you go. You can go back to school now. This is a token of appreciation from the neighborhood. What’s wrong?
I’m really grateful to you guys for this. But I can’t accept this. Wu Huan, it was hard for us to collect this amount of money. We don’t mean anything else. We just wanted to help you. I know that. I appreciate your kind intention. But please take back the money. Wu Huan,
Serve your friends some fruits. Madam. Madam, do you still remember me? I’m Xue. You’re such a big girl now. Madam, I’m Zhang Qi. You’re this tall already? How’s your mother doing lately? She’s doing fine. But she’s quite busy. She’s always on a business trip. Madam, I’m Sunian. Zheng Sunian? Why are you here?
Get out! Mom! What should we do with the money? Why don’t we mail the money to him? Wu Huan won’t accept it. But I heard that he accepted the Restoration Division’s donation. That’s right. He accepted the school teachers’ donation as well. Why is he accepting their donation but not ours?
Wu Huan won’t accept our donation simply because of us. He’s trying to protect the last sliver of his pride. What should we do then? Since it has come to this, there’s only one person we can turn to. Who is it? Lin Shiyin. Who’s there? Come in. Senior. Why are you here again?
I don’t need you to take pity on me. I know now. I scolded your son today. You’re here to get even with me, huh? Seems like your son is totally spoiled, huh? He can’t even take a mild scolding like that? Do you know what my son is doing? Every day, right after school,
He has to go to work! He’s serving customers! I’m an unlucky wretch. I wasn’t good enough to stay in the same division as you. My son is unlucky as well! He’s not good enough to study in the same school as your son! Are you happy now? Do you feel satisfied? Speak up!
You don’t need to cry hypocritically. I’m not a man. I won’t fall for your trick! Senior. Senior! Don’t call me that again! You can’t stay like this forever! What gives you the right to tell me what to do? Because I feel sorry for Wu Huan! Because I feel sorry for you!
Our master once said that only Xin Jie’s paintings are worthy of Du Fu’s praises. Wind and frost swirl up from the white silk surface, so superb, this painting of the gray hawk. Our master said your paintings contain both motion and stillness. It has the charm of a woman
And the heroic spirit of a man. Senior, if you knew how much I admired you back then, you would know how sorry I feel for you. Senior, for some things, after you put them down, you can pick them up again. Do it for your child’s sake. Do it for your sake as well.
Shiyin! [Liuli Restaurant] Why are you running? Why were you looking for me? I… I didn’t donate any money to you. Thank you. This doesn’t contain my money. Xue, Zhang Qi, and Sunian have withdrawn their money as well. It’s fine for you to accept this now, right? Just accept this.
You didn’t even finish senior high. You won’t be able to get a good job. I’m sure your mother doesn’t want you to quit school either. And I still wish to see you in school. We are friends. Do you still need a friend like me? I do. [Beijing Qiming High School] Morning, Mr. Liu.
Morning, Mr. Liu. -Morning, Mr. Liu. -Morning. Long time no see. My humble servant, do you miss me? Are you here to receive me? Your humble servant? Why don’t you return to your palace? The epidemic has just ended. Can’t you provide me with some warmth? You’ll light the school on fire
With the warmth I provide you with. Come, let me fetch you. -Bye! -You brat. [Diligent. Grounded. Efficient. Thoughtful] When can we stop attending Math lessons? Stop dreaming. Even those of the arts stream need to take Math. Seems like it won’t end anytime soon. You better focus on the lesson.
The placement test will arrive soon. Our seats are arranged according to the placement test’s grades. Does that mean we can’t sit next to each other? Mr. Liu. Zhang Qi. What are you doing? Mr. Liu, am I the only person on your mind? You keep an eye on me every day.
What’s wrong, Mr. Liu? Mr. Zhang, sorry about that. I’ve interrupted your lesson. Take it out. How dare you read extracurricular books in the class? This isn’t right. I’m sure there’s another book. That’s the only book I have. [Math Olympiad Tutorial] Math Olympiad? You can actually understand Math Olympiad? If you don’t believe me,
You can test me with your questions. If you can’t think of any questions, you should rest in your office. Don’t interrupt us during our Math lesson. I’m a language teacher. You’re asking me to come up with Math questions? Mr. Zhang, you can do it. This… Mr. Zhang, just do it.
This is an quiz of one variable cubic equation. At the current moment, we have only learned about the quadratic equation of one unknown. Even if you’re in your senior year, you’ll only learn about the basics of one variable cubic equation. So for this question, you don’t need to be too disappointed
If you can’t solve it. Don’t give him an out. He was so smug. Just let him do it. That was fast. Is he done? Although he didn’t show the steps, the answer is correct. That means your question is too simple. Give him a new question.
A cubic equation is more or less the same as a quadratic equation. Mr. Zhang, give me a quartic equation question. Can you understand it? I can’t. I think even undergraduates can’t understand it. He finished the question. Is it correct? You’re amazing. Was Zhang Qi that amazing before? Wait,
Why is he only showing the answer without the steps? I’m sure you memorized the questions. For one variable cubic and quartic equations, they have their root formula. So as long as you’re used to the questions, you’ll be able to solve them by doing substitutions. Not all subjects are as long-winded as Language.
Every language question is a waste of our time. He’s right. What do you mean by that? He’s right about the first half. Mr. Liu, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Zhang to come up with a quintic equation question. A quintic equation doesn’t have a root formula.
I can only solve those which have depressed polynomial because it’s not included in the Galois group. You’re a genius. Zhang Qi, come to my office after class. I’m going to nurture you so that you can attend the Math Olympiad contest. Okay. Mr. Liu, I haven’t finished my lesson yet. Why don’t you…
You guys better focus in class. Be serious. Be attentive. Goodbye, Mr. Liu. What’s the Galois group? How would I know? Zhang Qi is pretty amazing at Math. Shao Xue, come here. Do this question. Hurry up. I thought you wouldn’t cheat, would you? Some of you are already as good as undergraduates.
But some of you can’t even solve such a basic question. You guys came from the same class. Why is there such a huge difference between students of the same class? Return to your seat. Guys, the placement test will be there soon. You guys need to work harder. After the placement test,
Your seats will be arranged according to your grades. I’m sure you guys don’t want to sit at the very last row, right? I’ll teach you next time. [Beijing Qiming High School] [Ranking of Senior Two Placement Test] [50, Lin Shiyin, 617] That’s not too bad. I did what I was supposed to. Me too.
[131, Wu Huan, 500] Xue, where are you? I can’t find my name. It’s over here. [126, Shao Xue, 505] Xue, why are you beyond 100th place? We can’t sit next to each other anymore. Where’s Zhang Qi? Let me find his name. What’s going on? Why isn’t your name here? It’s not here?
That’s fine, I guess. Zhang Qi, Mr. Liu told you to head to his office. What’s wrong with you again? I didn’t do anything mischievous lately, did I? I think so. [Qiming High School, Teachers’ Office] Excuse me. Come in. Zhang Qi, your name wasn’t on the list. You must be terrified.
I never leave my name behind when I do good deeds. Can you be serious for once? I called you here because I have good news for you. Was I kicked out of school? Is that even good news? I realize that I can’t show you too much respect. You will leave this class soon.
You’ll be joining the competition class. The competition class? I thought the class was filled with the geniuses from junior high. Why should I join them? I won’t get into a university anyway. Who said so? Your Math result is exceptional. If you get a ranking in the contest,
You can get into a university without taking the entrance exam. What? You have to thank Mr. Liu for that. You’re only able to join the competition class due to Mr. Liu’s effort. Mr. Liu, did you plead for me? That’s right. Do you think I’m joking? He went to see the principal himself. Zhang Qi sucks at his other subjects. If we rank him according to his grade, he’ll be in the last class for sure. I don’t understand Math well. Mr. Zhang told me this himself. He said he’s a rare mathematical genius. Alright, Mr. Liu. I understand. Sir, the goal of the competition class
Is to educate the students according to their strengths and unleash their fullest potential, right? But he fools around when it comes to a normal test. So, Sir, I hope you can make an exception and give him a chance. Mr. Liu, nature is calling for me. Sir! Sir!
I won’t let you go until you say yes. Mr. Liu! I can’t hold it in anymore! I will consider that! Sir, we’re going to arrange their classes for them soon! When will you make your decision? Sir! Why are you still standing there? You should return to your class if there’s nothing else. By the way, listen up. From now on, you mustn’t drop your guard even for a second. The students in the competition class aren’t people to be trifled with. Go back now. Mr. Liu, you’re a nice buddy.
How dare he? He’s so impolite. [Liuli Hutong] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. They’re doing great! I was a good dancer when I was young. Is that so? [Wenrentang Pharmacy] That’s right. Seems like you’re pretty healthy. Yeah. -Baby, let’s go home. -Okay. Xue, you messed up the test again, right?
Is it that obvious? How do I put it? I can sense the disappointment from the back of your head. Give me a second. Xue. Xue. Take this. Have something sweet. It’ll make you feel better. By the way, I’ve stopped providing parent impersonation services. I hope you understand. Take a look!
News does get around quickly in this neighborhood. We’ve received news about it even before our children’s return. Ms. Li told you about it, right? Ms. Li is way better at delivering news than the school and their principal. She’s a radio station herself. Zhang Qi has finally found his talent.
You can rest at ease now. He’s unlike the crazy lass in our house. Wait. What’s wrong with Xue? I think she’s a great daughter. I’ve been dreaming of having a daughter like her. Let’s swap our child then. No problem. I’ll pack Zhang Qi and send him to you later when I see him.
Sure. Xue! Xue! My silly son. Mom, why are you here? Why can’t I be here? Zhang Qi, just now, your mother said she would pack you and send you to me. But you showed up of your own accord. You can stay here tonight. Madam, is Xue home? No. Why? I didn’t see her
After school. Maybe she’s avoiding you because she doesn’t want to see you. How is that possible? Zhang Qi, have you guys obtained your test result? Yeah. How did Xue do on the test? Madam, I’ll make a move first. Zhang Qi! Ms. Dongge is speaking to you. Zhang Qi, it’s fine. Just tell me
How she did on the test. She… Her grades are still the same! I’m sure she messed up the test. Ge. She didn’t dare to come back because of her lousy grade. Ge, where are you going? Ge? I’m sure she messed up the test. -Calm down! She’s just a child! -Madam.
Don’t follow me. It’s fine. -I’ll look for her. -Ge! What’s wrong? -It’s about Xue. -It’s nothing. -What happened to Xue? -Ge! Calm down! Where are you going? Wait, wear your shoes first. Where are you going in your slippers? Where are you guys going? I’m going to find Xue. Xue? We saw Xue
At the sundry shop when we were buying groceries. Dongge! What happened? Dongge is furious because Xue messed up her test! Ge! Speak nicely. What did Xue do again? It’s nothing. Mom. Let’s go home! Dad! Dad! Let’s talk over this! Her bicycle! Send it to us later!
Try your best only to lecture and educate, alright? Speak nicely! Okay! -You! -Sunian, come! Dongge! Let’s talk over this! -It’s fine. -Be gentle. Xue, don’t be afraid. Ge, you see… It’s fine. -Wait! -This is nothing. Dongge! Ge! It’s fine! Don’t worry. Dongge! It’s fine. Calm down. Dongge, I’m still outside.
Hold it right there! Stop right there! Dongge, don’t intimidate your child! Protect Xue, okay? Let’s talk another day! I think she should be fine. Forget it. Let’s go. Do you think Xue can overcome this ordeal? It doesn’t look good for her. ♪As I traverse this path without minding it♪
