The Gravity of a Rainbow (彩虹的重力)

Dong Lin!

Dong Lin!

Dong Lin!

Why do I always have this dream?

Why did Dong Lin die so tragically?

I'm He Cai Hong.

Today is my first day of work.

When it comes to love, my mom and I have different ideas.

I believe in soulmate. My mom only believes in one person:

That would be Su Dong Lin. My classmate in middle school and college.

A buddy, comrade and close friend.

This young lady is my mom, Li Ming Zhu.

Her grandpa was the head of Jiangzhou's Chamber of Commerce pre-Liberation.

This house is a family heirloom.

It's in the outer suburbs, but decorated very stylishly.

My mom's dream is to live in a a big house with an elevator downtown .

As her only child, the pressure is all on me.

-Hey Li Li. -Your ankle's healed?

-Finally going to work? -Yeah.

I report to work a month late because of this stupid fracture.

You should watch out when you're walking.

You almost disabled yourself.

Hey, thanks for the headline you came up for me.

I spent all night working on it.

How'd it go? Did you finish?

Of course!

The year's best strategy is about to launch.

Good luck to your first day of work.

-Okay! I'm hanging up. -Bye bye.

She's Guo Li Li, my close friend.

She comes from a well-to-do family

and has always made decisions by herself.

I like her outgoingness and attitude,

but others hate her...

including Dong Lin, Han Qing, and my mom.

I thought my days of being a student were over,

but my mentor asked me to audit a theoretical course.

It's supposed to improve my critical thinking skills.

To her, I, a top student isn't hardcore enough.

Excuse me!

You're also taking this course?

Can I help you?

I saw it on the syllabus that

we're required to study the reading material in advance

and write a three-page reflection.

Wait, student!

Erm...

I didn't write a reflection.

Would you let me borrow yours to look over?

-I didn't write one either. -You didn't--

Oh, crap.

I probably won't get called on, right?

Oh right,

I'm He Cai Hong. Nice to meet you.

He Cai Hong, is it?

It's certainly a pleasure.

Over here!

Pardon, you know Professor Ji?

Professor Ji?

Doesn't Fang Yong professor from Faculty of literature teach this class?

He's on sabbatical.

Professor Ji is taking over this semester.

He's new. This is him.

Oh crap. I'm so screwed.

I signed up for all of Professor Ji's classes.

Why?

Because he's hot!

Where else can I stare at him unblinkingly 24/7 from 360 degrees?

Hey.

Don't let appearances fool you.

maybe he would fail you.

Then I am still willing to.

Class is starting.

You've all read the assigned material, yes?

-Yes. -Yup.

Okay, I'm going to call one of you up to summarize

the key points of chapter two of the text.

-Don't pick me... -Pick me!

-Don't pick me! -He Cai Hong.

I'm sorry, I didn't read the material.

Why?

I forgot.

Professor, I'm just an auditor.

You're auditing the course.

You still have to do all the homework and participate in exams.

You must know that text reflections are 30% of your final grade.

I don't care how many courses you're taking this semester.

Considering the difficulty of this course,

I hope you can take it seriously.

Revise properly and do your homework as assigned.

Don't let me catch you copying others.

If you do, you fail.

Sit down.

What do I do?

You can use this office temporarily.

Professor Wei transferred, so it happens to be empty.

Here's the key.

-Alright. -Oh, by the way,

your teaching advisor hasn't been assigned yet.

Since Professor Chen is ill, why don't you teach her course in her place?

Ancient Chinese literary theory.

But... that isn't my area of expertise.

Then tell me, who got the best grade in it when you took it?

Alright then.

-When? -This afternoon at four.

T-Today?!

This is the teaching plan. Just follow it.

Already?

Professor Guan, I haven't formally stepped onto a lecture podium yet.

You've done practice teaching, haven't you?

Don't be nervous. Relax!

Just consider it a challenge! I'm off to work.

Okay. I'll see you!

Cai Hong! Are you nervous for your first day of work?

A little. But I'm okay.

What time is tonight's party?

Seven. Remember to come!

That's Han Qing, my close friend.

Little baby, be good, listen to Mommy.

She's been a reliable, obedient girl since the day we met.

But even reliable girls are sometimes unreliable.

For example, now.

She eloped with Xia Feng without her parents knowing,

and she's about to give birth without her parents knowing.

And so, no one knows how this relationship is going to end.

Oops, wrong place.

Look at those eyes, thirsty for knowledge...

look at those faces filled with expectation!

The sight of so many students together in one lecture hall

is so grand, so brilliant!

He Cai Hong, you have to do your best!

I thought it was Ancient Chinese literary theory?

When did it become Western literary theory?

Did the course material change, or am I in the wrong classroom?

Hello, everyone, I'm...

Ms. He?

"Professor" He.

Professor He.

This is your class?

It's Professor Chen Jing Fen's class.

She's sick today, so I'm substituting for her.

Professor He...

This class is 21st century Western literary theory.

I'm Professor Ji of the Department of Literary Theory.

This is my classroom.

Impossible.

Professor Chen has been teaching here for a month.

Why don't we ask the students?

Class, I'm He Cai Hong, the substitute professor for this class.

It seems we have a bit of a classroom mix-up here.

Let me ask, how many of you are here for Ancient Chinese literary theory?

Don't be afraid to raise your hands!

Go ahead and put them down.

How many of you are here for Western literary theory?

Alright, put them down.

Here's the situation.

Because so many students signed up for my class,

I requested a larger classroom from the administrative office.

Last week, they told me my new classroom is 6103.

Building no. 6 won't have two rooms no. 103, right?

The office must have messed up then.

Professor Ji, you should think of a solution.

I have so many students. You have only a few.

I think you should be the one to think of a solution.

Professor Ji, you're teaching Western literary theory.

Then you should know the principles of a gentleman,

such as "lady first."

Class, look at the beautiful sun today.

There's a large lawn next to the garden.

Let's go there.

Professor He, happy teaching.

Thanks.

What are you doing? Stand still!

Don't move.

Have you signed yet?

Here you go, Professor.

Sit in the middle.

Okay.

Class, let's start the class now.

What are you looking at?

Have you read the material?

How many times have I told you, Li Li,

the content is the soul!

We can work for brands

but we must still hold on to our artistic vision,

hold on to our own voice!

But Maggie, the sales of our magazine

have constantly been sliding in the past few years.

Could it be there's a problem with our voice and artistic vision? Or...

did the readers already fed up with it and don't want to see it anymore?

You mean...

I haven't been doing a good job as chief editor?

No.

You may leave.

Tell Xia Feng to come here.

Please come in.

Maggie.

Xia Feng, there's an article that urgently needs to be edited.

Do you have time today?

-Yes. when do you need it? -Tonight. Could you do it overtime?
