=Episode 3=

Professor,

have you already remembered my name

but refused to admit it?

You don’t like me?

Or even if

I made it,

you still wouldn’t acknowledge it?

The result doesn’t matter.

I care more...

About your motive.

Say it.

What are you up to?

What kind of reason would you like,
simple or complicated?

Whatever.

For the complicated reason,

I fell in love with you at first sight.

I want to stay around you

and observe you at close quarters.

What about the simple one?

For the simple reason,

because of some reasons,

I need you now.

Do you always confess your love

as casually as this?

You’d better tell the truth.

This is the truth!

Fine. You’re going to be fired.

It doesn’t matter if this is the truth.

Why?

Didn’t you say I could stay around

after I passed the test?

Pretend I’m regretting.

I never make a deal

with anyone with evil intents.

What evil intents do I have?

I first met you in the park.

Then you came to my class,

became my TA

and brainwashed our staff.

Then you got me splashed.

Now you say you want to observe me.

Aren’t they evil intents?

You forced me to brainwash them.

I didn’t mean to splash you.

In the park,

Golden Retriever took the initiative.

I didn’t.

How do I know it would...

What are you doing?

Grandpa.

Grandpa?

Hi, Grandpa.

Grandpa, have some water.

She calls me Grandpa?

Didn’t I tell you not
to come to school for me?

You’re having a relationship
with your student.

How can I not come?

Grandpa, I’m not his student.

Shut up.

You shut up!

Girl.

I understand.

But a student like you
should focus on study,

instead of being held up
by a working guy.

Understand?

Grandpa.

Wait for me.

Let me show you something.

This is my ID card.

I’m a serious working guy.

Grandpa, please have a look.

[Qi Nian]
[May 6th, 1996]

You’re 24 years old?

You must have been graduated.

Oh, you’re a Taurus.

You and my grandson
can be a good couple.

He is...

Capricorn.

Yes. Yes.

Capricorn. Capricorn.

Come on.

Let me check your constellation

and if you make a perfect match.

Grandpa.

What exactly do you come for?

I’ve got a blind date for you.

I’m not going.

If you have a girlfriend,

I allow you not to go.

Fine, pretend I have a girlfriend.

Who?

Her?

She’s your girlfriend?

What’s her name, then?

Yeah.

What’s my name, honey?

You must know your girlfriend’s name,

don’t you?

Tell me!

Qi Nian.

Qi for relation.

And Nian for year.

Gosh!

You finally call my name!

Grandpa.

As you see,

she doesn’t look reliable.

But she’s indeed my girlfriend.

Grandpa, don’t worry.

Whatever happens,

I won’t give him to anyone else.

I’ll always take responsibility for him.

Always?

How enterprising you sound!

Good. Good.

Forget about the blind date.

As long as you’re in a relationship,

I won’t disturb you.

When you break up,

I’ll come to trouble you again.

-Come on!
-Come on!

As Li Yue’s girlfriend,

what do you usually do with him?

Ordinary things.

[Love Guidance]
Meals, shopping, films, and rides.

Wait.

Neither of you has the driving license.

How can you take a ride?

On a bus.

[Sweet Love Confession on Bus No. 520]

[Sweet Love Confession on Bus No. 520]
I hear you’ll manage to confess love

if you take Bus No. 520

at twenty past five in the afternoon.

You’ve been in a relationship for long,

but you want to confess your love now?

Why do you ask so many questions?

Anyway, what we do

doesn’t suit beginners like you.

In love,

there are no beginners or veterans.

[Cherish the feeling
when you can’t help smiling.]

[You’re also a top scorer of math?]
It depends on what type your boyfriend is.

[You’re good.]

Type?

For example,

cat boyfriends and dog boyfriends.

Specifically, proud, scheming,

domineering or gentle boyfriends.

[What’s your name?]

For different types,

[What’s your name?]
there’re different ways

[What’s your name?]
there’re different ways

and tools.

Wait.

You had all these types of boyfriends?

Of course.

They’re all on my computer.

Say something realistic, could you?

Speaking of being realistic,

I have the most experience.

Well, men usually have some requests

for their girlfriends.

First, feed him.

Second, don’t check his WeChat.

Third, don’t disturb
when he plays computers.

Most important of all...

What is it?

Do...

[4. Do...]

Mr. Ji.

Li Yue!

Do what?

Do the design of the garage again.

Okay.

Why did he stop halfway?

I’m not sure, then.

Forget it. I’ll practice it.

[MC]

What’s this?

A diary of a stalker

or a collection of masochism?

Is that so exaggerated?

Look!

In your comics, I can only see

the back of Ji Yanxin’s head
or his side face.

Every day,

he only glances at you.

Don’t you feel upset?

Without sweetness,

how can readers feel involved?

Not to mention critical judges
of the Fresh Work Competition.

It’s so cold around Ji Yanxin.

It’s already my luck
when I’m not frozen.

How can I give sweetness?

We ask for sweetness by ourselves!

You’re his girlfriend, aren’t you?

When you play the role of the heroine,

make good use of it.

What’s the mission of a heroine?

Be in love with the leading man.

Except that,

is there no other mission?

So, you’re treating Ji Yanxin
as a boss in the game?

You win.

I don’t care.

You...

You must learn from the basics.

[Girls’ Dream Garden]

[Invitation]
There’s a fans’ meeting tomorrow afternoon.

[Invitation]
Go join them.

I always go to such meetings.

But you only go to meetings

about ratiocination, science fiction
or military forums.

You can never learn girls’ romance.

I’ll arrange some hotshots
for your interview.

Go and learn

what a leading lady should do.

Why do I like girl manga?

Because I’m still a girl.

You are?

[Xiaochong, in her thirties]
No matter how old a woman is,

[A huge fan of girl manga]
with the girls’ romance,

[Hotshot of fan circle]
she’s always in her puberty.

Well put!

[An, Painter]
You really are a hotshot of girl manga.

[Mainstay of College Girl Manga Club]
You get to the point directly.

[Lily, Experienced Lolita fan]
She has read girl manga for twenty years.

[Professional Coser]

Twenty years?

That means...

I’ve spent two thirds of my life

on girl manga.

I’ll give birth to a baby fan.

Come on. Do you have enough material
for prenatal education?

These are comics of beautiful style.

Start the prenatal education

so that we can expand our comic club.

Which do you prefer,
sexy characters or cute ones?

Well,

I want to ask.

Love is the only theme
of girl comics, isn’t it?

Why can it attract you

so greatly?

Well...

We need dreams in our lives.

Even if we don’t have perfect love
in real life,

such love exists

in another space.

Isn’t that great?

But...

Don’t let Key hear you.

Yes. Yes.

Or he’ll explode.

He takes girl manga

as his life guide?

Key?

He’s the fan painter working with you?

Is he famous?

He’s more than famous.

Speaking of drawing speed and quality,

he’s the one and only in the fan circle.

He’s a genuine guru.

Guru?

Guru means

[Hotshot]
hotter than a hotshot.

[Guru]

Speaking of girl manga,

he knows everything.

He just keeps a low profile.

If he showed up in public once,

he would have become more widely known.

He could have used his face.

But he insisted on using his talents.

He just asks for trouble.

Well, is he here today?

He’s just behind you.

Here is your dessert.

When would you like to enjoy it?

Key, that was a perfect dialogue.

Key? The guru?

You want me?

How can you just ask that?

She’s your guest.

My Lady, what do you want?

It’s his job.

When we’re consumers here,

he’s our butler.

Just give him your orders.

Seriously?

I’ll do it first.

Butler.

Which do you prefer, mountain or sea?

Sea.

Cat or dog?

Dog.

Dad or Mom?

Mom.

Another success in flirting.

You fell into such a trap.

You really deserve your reputation, Key.

I can’t stop laughing.

You...

I’ll skip work. I quit.

Let me introduce you.

He’s Key.

Main painter of our fan club.

If you have any confusion
about girl manga,

you can ask him.

Key.

Are you really a man?

Or what?

He’s so lovely.

He’s certainly a man.

Then why do you draw girl manga?

What do you mean?

Can’t men like girl manga?

Are you having sexual discrimination?

No. I don’t mean that.

Honestly,

I’m also drawing girl manga.

But I don’t understand

why girl manga

attract readers?

Since you don’t understand,

why do you force yourself to like it?

Key, don’t be so straightforward.

Because I must draw comics.

For money?

To make a living, right?

Then you have chosen

a terrible job.

Key, you’re going too far.

I’m serious.

There are many ways to make money.

Why must she draw girl manga?

Can’t she love it with a true heart?

If she did, she wouldn’t have asked.

There’s no such thing
as a sympathetic chord in comics.

I’m telling you.

Since I was in primary school,

I’ve loved girl manga.

My families objected.

I even ran away from home.

Yet I’ve never given up

being a cartoonist.

But you see.

Even if I tried so hard,

I still couldn’t work as a cartoonist.

But you’re already one,

why can’t you be free

and draw whatever you want?

I...

Have you ever been moved by girl manga?

If no,

you’d better give up.

Because a cartoonist
without girls’ romance

can be a disaster to readers.

Don’t force yourself
if you have no talent.

-Key.
-Key.

You are right.

Sorry to have bothered you.

Did I go too far?

Yes, without doubts.

If only the girl were strong enough!

If she quits because of you,

you will feel guilty.

I’m too excited when speaking of comics.

Uh...

Do you have

her contact?

This bathroom is even bigger
than a bedroom.

Making it a bathhouse?

Are the stairs

going up to the sky?

You think you can attract people

with novelty?

Without talents or efforts,

you still want novelty?

Go and make a new one.

What are you staring at?

Come and tidy it up.

Have you ever been moved by girl manga?

If no,

you’d better give up.

Because a cartoonist
without girls’ romance

can be a disaster to readers.

Don’t force yourself
if you have no talent.

Does talent really matter so much?

What did you say?

Are efforts without talent

really meaningless?

Are gifts in this world

only for talents?

Just because one is not talented,

he should make more efforts.

But you just said...

Because they skipped basic steps,

trying to have a sudden rise.

There may be real talents.

But only people with efforts

could have the last laugh.

Many people start innovation

from imitation.

If you’re not talented, just learn.

Luckily, there’s the last one.

What a coincidence!

Yes.

Could you give it to me?

It’s the fermented bean curd flavor.

If you want instant noodles,

you’ll have all the others.

I love the fermented bean curd flavor.

No one wants the strange flavor.

Except me,

no one else in the neighborhood comes.

I have just moved here.

I’ve tried

every strange flavor.

I just want this today!

Well, I just want this, too.

Let go!

Let go!

Hands off!

You first!

Could you just show some mercy

once in a while

and give me this one?

Did you let me go in that interview?

After you left,

they criticized me.

They did?

It’s too late.

But I still want to apologize to you.

Don’t bother.

Your apology isn’t more expensive
than the instant noodles.

We’re cleared, then.

See you!

No. I’ll never see you again!

Nor will I.

I’m going this way home.

Don’t stare at me.

I’m going this way, too.

I’m going this way, then.

Me, too.

Why do you have the key to my home?

Sure, I do. This is my home!

This is my home!

As a gentleman,

why do you have so many dolls?

It’s a man’s sock, isn’t it?

I... I bought some.

They look good.

The seller didn’t allow me
to exchange them.

Then I keep them.

I like dolls, so what?

Can’t men love dolls?

I had thought

my roommate could be

a lovely girl.

I had thought

my roommate could be a capable IT man.

I’ll go cook the noodles.

If you find it inconvenient,

I can move out.

But not until

I get paid next month.

Because after I paid the rent deposit,

I didn’t have

too much money.

I might not even afford my meals.

I wondered
why you bought instant noodles.

So, we have the same trouble.

After this month,

I’ll have trouble living

next month.

Which do you prefer,
stewed noodles or dry noodles?

Stewed noodles.

All the seasoning or half?

All, of course.

Why does it sound so familiar?

Butler.

Which do you prefer, mountain or sea?

Sea.

Cat or dog?

Dog.

Dad or Mom?

Mom.

Oh, I remember.

If you want to get rid of the trap,

you won’t succeed anyhow.

Are you sure?

But I’ve figured out the solution.

How?

Ask me again.

Who do you like more, Dad or Mom?

I like you.

See, you can’t answer, can you?

Perfect solution.

So... Sorry.

So... Sorry.

What did I say?

Stop... Stop...

Stop saying anything.

Or we’ll be embarrassed.

Let’s go.

Delicious!

Oh,

I don’t know your name yet.

I’m Qi Nian.

Qi Nian?

Nice to meet you.

Oh,

I’ve got a good idea, Key.

You don’t need to move out.

What?

Wait for us to eat up the noodles.

Your... Your good idea...

You want me to comment on your comics?

Yes.

You’re the famous Key.

Among readers of girl manga,

you’re the most experienced.

So, I want you to give me
a little bit of advice

as a reader.

Please!

No. Sounds like a trap.

And there’s too much trouble.

I’d rather move out.

Don’t. I’m begging you!

Just this once.

Just this once.

Could you?

For the sake
that I shared my noodles with you.

-I beg you. I beg you.
-I won’t. I won’t.

I won’t read it.

Please read it.

I beg you!

I’ll just read it for once.

It doesn’t look like girl manga.

It’s more like observation.

The details are too realistic,

without any fun.

You realized that?

There is a real prototype?

This is a story about me...

My friend.

Seems like you don’t have imagination

about love.

All right, then.

The leading man you draw

is a cold man.

In girl manga,

men pretend to be cold.

They turn out to be flamboyant.

All heart-tormenting moments

lead to final sweetness.

When the man doesn’t
take the initiative,

the girl should chase him
and flirt with him.

I’ve said so much.

Do you understand?

What exactly should I do?

There are two ways to draw girl manga.

First, with experience.

Obviously, you don’t have enough.

So, you must choose the second way.

Getting involved.

How?

Why did you ask?

Just get involved in the story,

and chase the man with true love.

Get involved in the story?

Yes. The story is made up.

But the feelings are true.

Only when you love the leading man
with true heart

can you make up good plots.

Or characters will be frothy,

no matter how good
they’re supposed to be.

No readers will put in their feelings.

Be more specific.

Suppose you’re the leading girl

who fell in love with a cool prince.

To show him your charm,

you started to dress yourself up.

In the most beautiful dresses

and best makeups,

you appeared in front of him frequently.

Because of the unaccustomed shoes,

you accidentally fell.

Finally, the prince noticed you.

If he still ignored you,

you should take another step.

Confess to him warmly

[Recruitment for Comic Club]
and observe how he reacts.

I like you.

You said that before.

I want to be your girlfriend.

You already are.

I want your true heart

where I can feel true love.

Sticky eyes.

Stay away from me.

Go get changed.

Why?

A dress is the romance of men, isn’t it?

Also, I can show absolute charm

with such a long dress.

I’ll certainly look lovely.

If you don’t believe me,
let me show you.

Stand still.

You don’t like that?

No.

But I like you.

More than anything else.

Enough is enough.

Why?

Close your eyes.

Think of your favorite thing.

What is it?

Fried chicken.

I’m going to the library.

Are you going there with me

or are you going to buy fried chicken?

Seems like you like fried chicken

more than me.

I can swear to God

that I love fried chicken.

So, I...

Since you don’t like me most,

don’t say it casually.

Key’s method doesn’t work.

Am I not doing enough?

I should use a bigger trick.

[CEO Code]

Romantic tricks of girl manga

that Key taught me personally.

Using three or more tricks,

a girl can have all men.

First, get close to him.

It means a man pushes a girl
to the corner

and reaches out one arm against the wall

with a bang.

The girl then has nowhere to go

and she’ll be shy.

The success rate will go up largely.

It hurts. It hurts.

I have a cramp.

It hurts. It hurts.

It hurts!

It hurts so much!

Professor.

I want to get the book up there.

But I can’t reach it.

Could you help me out?

Second, reach for a book from behind.

The girl stands on tiptoe,

but fails to reach something up there,

however hard she tries.

The man then turns up behind her

and raises his arm.

When their fingers meet,

the romance flows.

Third, get carried in arms.

No way!

Ji Yanxin isn’t treating me

as his girlfriend at all.

If he doesn’t reply at all,

this way won’t work.

Give these books to Prof. Shen.

I see, Professor.

Wait.

What, Prof. Ji?

Open your mouth.

On your way back,

buy some fried chicken in the canteen.

He must be treating me
as Golden Retriever.

You’re Qi Nian?

What do you want me for?

I am

Prof. Ji’s last TA.

I’m the one before her.

I’m the one before her.

We all used to be his assistants.

I see.

Party of assistants

to share the experience
of getting fired, right?

No party!

We come to get even with you!

How long have you been here?

Why can you be his TA?

I was fired after two days.

I was fired after the first day of work.

Yes. Prof. Ji has bad temper.

Be more patient with him.

And don’t get angry.

Why would we be angry with him?

We’re angry with you!

Me?

We’re warning you!

Leave Prof. Ji right away.

Or you’ll be sorry.

Be sorry?

Come on. Come on.

Did you see that?

A girl is besieged.

Right behind the canteen.

By other jealous girls, right?

The one who leads them

used to be Prof. Ji’s TA.

Let’s fight, then.

What? You...

I didn’t mean

we would fight you.

What do you mean, then?

We won’t fight?

How boring!

Get to the point.

Otherwise,

I must enjoy my fried chicken.

Why can you be so arrogant?

You... You know what?

What’s your advantage?

Did Prof. Ji ask you

to do PPT for over thirty times

and nothing can be repeated?

He smashed the models his students made

and had his TA clean it up.

He only left a simple message

without a name.

He also gave us a lot of homework

and tortured us.

Enjoy the chicken.

Yeah.

He always criticizes people.

-He’s got countless bad habits.
-Thank you.

Then why do you like him?

He has bad temper.

But as a Prince Charming,

he’s handsome enough.

It means

he’s charming with advantages?

I hear he’s asked to go to blind dates,

but he never goes.

So, he’s still single.

I don’t think so.

I hear he had an ex-girlfriend

who was gorgeous.

Are you sure?

I heard about it from a senior student.

It must be true.

His ex-girlfriend is gorgeous?

Of course.

His grandfather forces him
to get married

and arranges a lot of blind dates,

just to make him
forget his ex-girlfriend.

How much does he like his ex-girlfriend

so that he keeps his integrity for her?

I can no longer expect

to be his girlfriend.

You’re right.

But what’s this?

[FAN CLUB JYX]

Exclusive badge
for Ji Yanxin’s supporters.

Only official members have one.

You all have one?

Of course.

We also made souvenirs of him.

Look. Look.

Look.

Wait.

Come on. Hold it for me.

What are you doing?

Let me show you something.

How lovely!

-Let me take a photo.
-Looks so cute.

I want it, too.

Let me take a photo.

If it can be made into souvenirs,

many students will want them

after they know.

Seriously?

I can make a lot of money, then.

Sure.

First,

you paint very well.

Even if you’re no longer a fan,

you can make a big fortune
with his souvenirs.

Shall we befriend each other on WeChat?

Come on. Let me scan your QR code.

I’ll do it.

Come on.

Wait.

Qi Nian?

-Qi Nian?
-Yes.

Sell souvenirs
after you’re no longer a fan?

Prof. Ji.

Hello, Prof. Ji.

He... Hello, Prof. Ji.

You get braver, huh?

No, no.

Wait a second.

[Come on, Dream Chaser!]

Where are you going?

Professor.

Could you pretend I died now?

No.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Professor, you’re angry?

I’m not a fan.

I just had a loose tongue

about souvenirs.

I don’t care.

So much for today’s work.

You can leave.

Have you finished the fried chicken?

I shared it with them.

I don’t like it.

And I don’t have an appetite.

Why?

You love it most, don’t you?

I no longer like fried chicken.

Hearing about his ex-girlfriend

made me lose my appetite.

I knew a little girl’s love

couldn’t be reliable.

I’m not a little girl!

Yanxin, you’re back?

You’re here, too.

Yanxin, you know what?

She is a fake TA.

She isn’t a student
of Chunming University.

She’s a liar!
