The first 200 lines.
It's that time of the year again.
Look at all these young people hanging around under the tree's shade.
Every year, on this day,
they come to tie a red string of fate
and pray for success in love.
Many years ago,
I crossed the seas to arrive here at this spot.
It has been more than 100 years.
I wonder when it all started.
I wonder when people began calling me the Old Lunar Tree.
Being constantly surrounded by couples in love,
I have yet to feel the signs of old age.
But wait.
Something seems to be happening.
It's a proposal.
I'm getting a strong hunch.
It's a feeling I've never had before.
Who is it?
Which girl is it?
Is it you?
The luckiest girl in the whole world.
She's proposing!
No thanks.
Check this out! A new update on the page.
The clown from Class F got rejected by the genius from Class A.
-Seriously? -The whole school is talking about it.
She sure had a lot of guts.
Zhi-shu Jiang is the man! Wow!
That's sad.
Zhi-shu claims another victim
No thanks.
Confessing to Zhi-shu?
Don't you have a mirror at home?
I kind of pity her for getting rejected.
She knew it wasn't going to work out, but she did it anyway.
She was too ambitious.
Hey, I think she's Yue-qin Xiang.
Look, it's Yue-qin!
-It's Yue-qin. -How pitiful...
-Hey, Yue-qin. -Yue-qin.
Stop bothering me!
-It's Yue-qin. -Yue-qin...
-Look. -It's Yue-qin.
Hey, Yue-qin.
She got rejected!
It's Yue-qin Xiang!
-She overestimated herself. -Yue-qin.
Mei-mei.
I just proposed to Zhi-shu Jiang,
but it ended up on the Secret Tree Page.
You must be out of your mind.
Why did you do that?
You knew he wasn't going accept you.
But I've had a crush on him for the past two years.
I can't let my high school years just end
without him ever knowing how I feel.
I spent the whole last night to write the love letter.
I wrote countless drafts, over and over.
Hello my schoolmate, Zhi-shu Jiang.
I'm Yue-qin Jiang from Class F.
I'm sure you have no idea who I am,
but I know pretty much everything about you.
It's not right...
Since I never got the chance to talk to you,
I decided to write this letter to convey my feelings.
I wish to get to know you better.
I like you, Zhi-shu Jiang.
Stop dreaming the impossible!
He's Zhi-shu Jiang.
So what if he's Zhi-shu Jiang?
He's just a top student that scored the highest in the national mock exam,
has an IQ of 200, handsome and rich.
So what? It doesn't justify him being a jerk.
You don't have to make me feel better.
I'm a fool. I'm stupid.
If I could turn back time to the first day of school,
-I wish I didn't meet him then. - Next, we'll have
the new student representative, Zhi-shu Jiang,
to give a speech on stage.
Good morning to the principal, teachers
and fellow students.
My name is Zhi-shu Jiang.
Firstly, I'd like to express the happiness and excitement
in being part of the Xingdou family
-on behalf of the new students. -Wow.
-I really hope we can -He's so handsome!
-make wonderful memories... -If only we could be in the same class.
A, B, C, D, E, F.
I just need to jump five levels to be in his class.
Yue-qin.
You're my woman.
Mine.
Ah-jin?
What are you doing?
I heard you proposed to a guy from Class A.
Is that true?
You actually like a nerd like him?
Can you stop pestering me about it?
I have to know!
The whole school is talking about it. I'm about to go crazy!
Two years ago,
I've already claimed you...
after our hug of love.
I've told you many times before.
That wasn't even a hug.
Your resistance is futile.
Our relationship
is destined by fate.
What?
By the way, girls...
It's time! Time for our lesson.
Get back to your seats.
Today, we're going to talk about
the year 1977.
Which one of you can tell me what happened in 1977?
Anyone?
Xiao-sen?
Mei-mei?
-Stupid. -Not knowing the answer is fine.
It's more important to enjoy learning.
Don't feel pressured. Advanced learning is not Class F's goal anyway.
-We will learn what we can -Yue-qin.
through communicating.
Anyway, something big happened
in the year of 1977.
Which is...
I, your teacher,
released my first album!
-Not again. -There he goes again.
The fancier love is
The more it hurts
I'm weary so I just want
to live a normal life alone...
Hey!
How dare you play with your phone while you're in class?
You better watch it or else I will turn your phone into...
a paper airplane!
-Put it away! -Sorry.
What's all the fuss about?
Just put it on the airplane mode so that it can fly!
Seriously?
Was it not funny?
-Zhi-zhu Jin. -Not funny?
-Was it funny? -Wasn't it?
Zhi-zhu Jin.
Before you try to act all cool,
please take a good look in the mirror.
You always try to be a hero
by helping others and upholding justice
through rash actions. But listen to this.
You've just accumulated two big demerits points!
-What? -What are you guys laughing at?
Since the youth cooking competition finals is around the corner,
I will give you a chance to redeem yourself.
If you do well,
you would make the school proud
and secure your entry to college.
Ah-jin.
This is the right path.
Stop wasting your time on other things!
-Sir, -Yes?
-I've already got a plan. -Huh?
When I win the youth cooking competition
and when they ask me to give a speech,
I'll propose to Yue-qin.
I will defeat Zhi-shu Jiang!
-Okay, good. - Ah-jin! Ah-jin!
-A man should have dreams! - Ah-jin! Ah-jin!
Way to go Ah-jin! Way to go!
I know I was being too hasty.
But what's so great about a guy that won't even read my letter?
I must have been blind.
Heartless jerk.
I'm moving on from you.
From this moment on, you no longer exist
- in my world. -All right,
that's the basics of the Large Hadron Collider.
Now, I have some good news to share with you guys.
Our classmate, Zhi-shu Jiang,
has been invited to visit the Central Institute of Physics
to learn about their study on the Large Hadron Collider.
Zhi-shu, please stand up. Give him a round of applause.
Awesome.
That's great, thank you.
Let's return to the fourth part of our lesson.
-Einstein's photon theory. - Zhi-shu Jiang!
- I can't stand you! -Shut the windows.
Don't be affected by the others.
Let's continue.
XINGDOU UNIVERSITY AFFILIATED HIGH SCHOOL
Yue-qin, why do you look so down?
Hey, Yue-qin. Isn't your new house all organized?
We should all go and have a housewarming party some time.
Yeah, that's right.
What? I don't think that's a good idea.
My house is filled with things my dad made from scraps.
It's really different from other houses.
Right, you guys always make things on your own.
-How cool! -Yeah.
Actually,
