The first 199 lines.
As the preliminaries slowly approach
everybody is intently focused on preparing for the tournament.
Tuck your chin in! One, two!
One, two! One, two!
Yes, keep going! Keep it up!
One, two!
Louder!
I am even more committed.
Ya Nan, I thought we're drawing lots, not separated into weight categories.
Why are we being weighed here?
This is a physical exam prior to the tournament
mainly to determine whether
you're in good enough physical condition to compete.
After the physical exam is the fitness test.
I get it now.
- 41. - 47.
- 42. - 48.
- 43. - 49, 50.
44, 45, 46.
47.
With the shape you're in, you can expect to be eliminated in the first round.
50.
How come it's just you from your losers duo? Where's Ming Tian?
It'll be made clear in the ring who the loser is.
Sure. Do your best.
How is this possible?
Ming Tian placed first in the fitness test?
It seems he's trained himself into good condition.
So what if he's in good condition?
It's not like we're going to be laborers.
You can continue to believe that.
But don't forget Ming Tian has three S-level athletes for trainers.
When you're making cynical remarks, he's using every second to improve.
You think I would believe you? I'm not so easily scared!
It's true that this sort of thing must be seen to be believed.
Let's go see.
In such a short amount of time
his movements have reached this level of proficiency and agility.
Aside from having good trainers
Ming Tian is also very gifted.
Talent is merely illusory.
Haven't you also said
an impressive show outside of the ring doesn't ensure success in the ring?
I say he's just pretending to look the part. He can't defeat anyone.
He came straight here to train right after the fitness test.
Against an opponent like this...
are you certain you can win?
Come on.
What's gotten into Ma Yi Chen?
He didn't have a care a couple of days ago.
Why is he training so rigorously now?
Don't worry about him.
Keep practicing. Come on.
One, two.
One, two.
One, two, three.
One, two.
One, two, three.
Grandpa, you wanted to see me?
I heard you've been very busy lately.
You even attended a school dance.
The school stated that attendance is mandatory.
Was it also mandatory to teach taekwondo at an elementary school?
I promised them.
Since you have such ample time...
you can help out at the office.
There's been a project that the planning department has kept shelved.
Manager Liu is up to his ears in work.
You can take over and complete it.
Okay.
Go.
How come it's just you? Where's my dad?
He went to buy snacks.
Luo Guan Yan, can you stop for a second? I need to talk to you.
About what?
I heard you had a disagreement with He Xiao Feng and some others
over our visit to Zhiying.
You're now training at my family's gym. Aren't you afraid they'll misunderstand?
I came here to practice boxing and I'm not doing anything to betray Zhiying.
Why should I be afraid?
Yes, I know you're straightforward and upright.
But we're both boxers and competitors.
If we train together long-term, we'll learn each other's weaknesses.
Besides, given your capabilities
we'll definitely be up against each other in the finals.
That's why I don't think it's appropriate for you to be training here.
I see.
All right, I'll come back after the tournament.
By the way, you sucked out snake venom to save my life last time.
I want to treat you to dinner to thank you.
Didn't we already have dinner at Mama Hao's?
You were having an allergic reaction and didn't eat anything.
I already forgot. Why have you kept it in mind?
Because I want to ask you out.
Ask me out?
Why? You don't believe me?
I do, but I also believe you just want to learn more about your competitor!
I'm not that foolish!
Cheng Ya Nan.
You really are a fool.
Luo Guan Yan, who are you calling a fool?
I wouldn't even bother saying this
if you weren't being treated so badly at Zhiying!
How ungrateful!
After all the unrest
you still pushed everything aside to come here, Captain.
As I've said, I have a clear conscience.
I believe you've already made a choice between Zhiying and Cheng Ya Nan.
I don't believe there is a need to choose between Zhiying and Cheng Ya Nan.
What about between me and Cheng Ya Nan? You should make a choice!
Xiao Feng, I've always thought of you as a good friend.
Just a good friend? Nothing more?
Whenever a member complains about your strict training
why am I always there to ease the tension?
Why have I never competed against you for the position of captain?
Don't you understand my feelings for you?
Xiao Feng, I'm very grateful for all you've done
but feelings...
I'm sorry. There's someone I like already.
Is it Cheng Ya Nan?
Sure enough, it's as I guessed.
I don't understand! Why would you like her?
I could understand if she were more beautiful, cuter, or gentle.
But she's none of that! In what way do I fall short of her?
Xiao Feng, a comparison of qualities can't determine who I like.
Besides, being gentle and cute was never the reason why I liked her!
These are just your excuses! I won't believe them!
Luo Guan Yan, listen up.
Even if you reject me today, I won't give up.
You want to be Romeo and Juliet with Cheng Ya Nan?
I won't let you!
All right, take a break! Have some fried chicken!
It's Coach's treat today! Come on!
Ya Nan, come eat. I bought some for you too.
Where's Guan Yan?
He left!
Left? Didn't he say he was going to eat with us? I'll call him back.
Don't bother. He's not coming back!
- Did you drive him out? - Yes.
How could you?
Cheng Ya Nan!
We haven't had a heart-to-heart in a long time, have we?
Let's have at it!
Brat, you're becoming more misbehaved!
If you're not right, why would I listen to you?
I told you not to take him as a student but you wouldn't listen!
Is there any daughter who yells at her father like you do?
You're being serious?
You have the nerve to ask?
You're always setting me up! Is there any father like you?
Cheng Ya Nan!
Are you okay?
I'm fine. That's just how my dad shows his love for me.
I can tell he loves you extra today.
What's this?
I'll have to be at the office for a while so I won't have time to go to school.
Help me return these books back to the library.
Just leave it in the book return box.
You wrapped the books?
Is there a secret in here?
["Romance Between A Strong Woman and A Weak Man"]
["Who Says Independent Women Don't Need Love?"]
I only wrapped them up so you wouldn't lose them.
You're just afraid I'll see them. Let's see what's in here.
You won't even let me see them?
Are these some relationship self-help books?
Give them back. You can pretend I never came.
Okay, fine.
When did you become so bad at taking jokes?
Where's your usual queen's composure?
Go ahead and do your work. Leave everything to me.
I'll be sure to be the perfect best friend
and keep an eye on Song Xiao Mi.
I won't let her get a chance to be with Ming Tian alone.
He'll be as safe as this box is.
Do you have nothing better to do? Did I ask you to do that?
All right. I just have way too much free time on my hands!
All right.
I'm not helping you return these!
Look!
Now look!
And look!
These are the newest shower stalls that our school built just for you two!
Look at the shower heads and facilities! They're all brand new!
Look at this space. Look at my physique.
Are you two satisfied now?
Ming Tian!
Ming Tian!
I'll buy groceries and go to your house later.
No, Xiao Mi. I can't trouble you with cooking for us all the time.
It's no trouble!
I'm not doing it for you.
I'm doing it for Ming Zhu and Ming Lang.
I promised them I would whip up a feast for them when they score 100 points.
I have to keep to my word.
It's all right. I'll just take them to KFC.
No!
You can have KFC another day. Have the dinner I make first!
Wait, Song Xiao Mi! Count me in!
