Episode 5 -

He's the one I told you about before. He found my wallet.

He's called...

I haven't asked you for your name yet, right?

I'm called Lin Zi.

Yes, yes, yes. He's called...

Why are you staring at him?

Excuse me.

I'm not staring at him!

Your eyes were constantly...

Don't say nonsense. I wasn't. Let's eat.

Why are you staring at me so longingly? It's so scary.

I wasn't looking at you longingly. I'm just keeping an eye on you.

Are you crazy? Why are you watching me?

You're the crazy one!

Coach Yuan knows that you and Ouyang Heng don't like each other.

She was afraid you'd create trouble, so she ordered me to watch you.

Also, why don't you like Ouyang Heng?

Weren't you two teammates back in high school?

You two seemed pretty close. Why has the relationship come to this?

You're so annoying. Why are you asking so much?

Why are you being so mean?

I'm not being mean.

You are!

You just feel upset whenever I mention Ouyang Heng.

Why would I be angry over a nobody like him? I'm being mean because...

Because I can't find my blue goggles!

That's why I'm mad. Goggles are very important to me, okay?

Where are you going?

Don't mind me; otherwise, I'll throw a temper tantrum at you!

We can order more after you finish. Don't be shy.

Excuse me.

Are you the legendary James Lin?

You're not the first person to ask me that.

So are you?

By the way, didn't you previously say you'd return my favor?

Were you being serious when you said it?

Of course, I was being serious. I never go back on my words.

If you were being serious, then I'll take it for real.

I've been unemployed for a long time.

I was thinking, if I had the chance to enter your company one day,

we can be colleagues! By that time, you can be my mentor and help me out.

You're going into my company for me to be your mentor? - Yes!

Are you joking?

Look at your outfit. Brand name suit and expensive watch.

You don't look like you're unemployed.

You've misunderstood. I'm dressing like this just to find a job.

I borrowed all of this from a friend.

Really? - Yes.

Don't change the topic.

You said you'd repay my favor. Will you change your mind now?

I'm not changing my mind. I just wanted to say that it's really difficult to get into my company.

Also, I'm just an intern. I, myself, am still standing on the edge.

I can't even protect myself, but you expect me to be your mentor?

I'm serious; trust me. Don't try for my company.

Go to another company. Find an easier job.

Don't worry about that. I have my own solutions, anyway.

You have a solution?

Sir.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, thank you. - Thank you.

Okay. I need to go now.

I already paid the bills. You two, enjoy.

How could you pay the bills? I was going to treat you.

If you do this, I'll owe you even more.

It's fine. The more you owe me, the better.

This way, in the future, when I ask a favor of you, you can't reject me.

Okay, you two enjoy. I'll leave now. Bye-bye.

Goodbye.

Hey, Yun Duo.

Yun Duo!

What's up with this person?

I don't know. I don't know what's wrong with him.

Are you two very close?

What did Qi Ruifeng do this time? So many reporters are here.

Yun Duo, remember the Four Swim Stars I told you about before?

Of course, I remember. They are the four most famous college swimmers.

Sovereign of the North, Ouyang Heng. Madman of the South, Qi Ruifeng.

Beast of the East, Ding Liangjian. Hottie of the West, Lin Haoyang. Right?

Good memory. All these people are here today

because the chief of the Four Swim Stars, Ouyang Heng, is here.

Sovereign of the North, Ouyang Heng, is here?

Isn't he from North Physical? Why is he here at South Physical?

This is a tradition between these two schools.

Annually at this time, they hold a combined training session.

The goal is to promote friendly competition.

Sovereign of the North, Ouyang Heng, is very mysterious.

To this day, nobody has been able to interview him.

No reporters have ever been able to get his contact information.

People don't even know his personality.

So everyone is using this training

to find a chance to interview Ouyang Heng?

It has finally gotten through to your brain.

Even so, it's pointless.

Look at those two guards there. We can't even get in!

Don't be anxious. Take it slow. We'll find a solution.

51.44 seconds.

This is your best time from this morning's training.

I'm so disappointed.

Compared to your time at the previous joint warm-up match between the four major southern physical colleges,

you were 0.12 seconds slower.

What's wrong with you?

I thought my appearance would make you better.

I didn't think you'd actually become weaker.

Where are you going? You just ran into me. Shouldn't you apologize?

Let go. I need to speak to Tang Yibai.

What's there to say? Say it after you apologize.

Qi Ruifeng, what are your thoughts on your training with North Physical?

Have you seen Ouyang Heng already? Can you share your interactions with him?

Yun Duo?

Why are you here?

North and South Physical are training together today.

We wanted to find an opportunity to interview Ouyang Heng.

But the guards are there, so we can't get in.

Easy. I'll take you inside. Let's go.

Excuse me.

Media isn't allowed inside.

She's my friend! Move aside.

Let's go.

You can't.

Lingye, don't create trouble.

I'm not creating trouble. He ran into me and didn't even apologize.

Tang Yibai, look who I brought here.

What's wrong?

Are they making trouble again?

He pushed me onto the ground and didn't even apologize. He has no respect.

He was the one who got in the way, so why should our captain apologize?

Close the doors!

Everyone is here, right? I haven't properly greeted you guys yet.

Let's do it today.

Qi Ruifeng!

Everyone, back up!

Back up!

Hello. Are you Ouyang Heng?

I'm an intern reporter from QKVideo. My name is Yun Duo.

What happened to create this conflict between you and the South Physical swimmers?

Didn't we say we wouldn't accept any interviews? Why did you bring a reporter inside?

She's my friend, not an ordinary reporter.

I can bring her inside if I'd like. What's wrong? Not satisfied?

Classmate, don't worry. I'm a professional reporter.

I will report everything that happened today truthfully.

I will not be biased.

Thus, please explain what just happened.

This is actually a misunderstanding. Our two schools' have a very good relationship. There isn't any conflict.

Then... - Just now, I accidentally ran into that student, and I didn't apologize in time. That's how the misunderstanding originated.

Lingye, I'm sorry.

It's fine.

North Physical teammates, we'll gather at the pool in 10 minutes. If you're late, your punishment is to swim 1500 meters.

Let's leave. Time for training.

You're Yun Duo?

Yun Duo. - You're very smart. I'll remember you.

Yun Duo, why are you here?

Wait.

Going on like this isn't a solution.

Then what should we do?

Have a competition.

I want you to know whose territory this is.

Forget it.

To this day, I never treated you as my opponent.

Fortunately, you were there early; otherwise, I don't know how that situation would have ended.

It's nothing.

If a fight had really started earlier, I would have been the first to run away.

Really?

Just now, you were pretty brave.

A little girl stood in between two parties, playing dumb.

You weren't scared that he'd hit you.

That's because you were there.

If they had really started fighting, you would have helped block the punches coming my way.

I'm not so stupid to protect you.

Where's your sense of justice?

I mean, I would have defeated them before they even had a chance to attack.

By the way, it seems like you two schools don't get along.

There's a reason behind it. In the past, the South and North Physical male swim teams were established in the same year,

and the position of best swim team in the nation was either us or them.

Thus, we don't like each other. It's unavoidable.

But overall, this is all just benign competition.

But when Qi Ruifeng and Ouyang Heng were together earlier, the atmosphere was so tense.

It didn't feel so simple.

Did something happen between them in the past?

Is there some sort of history?

If it's not convenient to say, don't say it. Pretend like I didn't ask anything.

Don't worry; I won't report the two schools' conflicts into the newspapers.

It's enough if I get some footage of your training.

Are you sure?

Will this violate your duty as a reporter?

As Teacher Sun once said, a professional sports reporter's duty

is to report on the spirit of sports and athletics.

Conflicts between teams are considered gossip news. This isn't our realm of duty.

As an excellent reporter, if I don't report on this issue, it better shows my professionalism.

Although you're short, I can't believe how aware you are.

I'm not short! I have a standard physique.

But in my eyes, you're always a shorty who needs protection.

Let's go.

This way, please.

We meet again. - Why are you here?

Why can't I be here?

Really? You were serious when you said you wanted to work here?

What do you think?
