### Dormitory
Ba Shuang and Wu Ke are bored, staring at the computer.
**Ba Shuang**: Hey, Wu Ke, why haven't Da Lang and Yi Fei come back yet? They've been out for so long.
**Wu Ke**: Don't worry. They'll be back soon.
**Ba Shuang**: But it's already 11:30. What if something happened to them?
**Wu Ke**: Stop jinxing our hardworking poor friends.
**Ba Shuang**: So, what should we do?
**Wu Ke**: Call Da Lang and ask when he's coming back.
**Ba Shuang**: Why should I call? Why don't you call?
**Wu Ke**: Just do it. Stop talking so much.
Reluctantly, Ba Shuang picks up the phone and dials Da Lang's number.
**Ba Shuang**: No one's answering.
**Wu Ke**: Call again.
Ba Shuang dials Da Lang's number again. Suddenly, Da Lang's phone vibrates.
**Wu Ke**: No need to call.
**Ba Shuang**: Why?
**Wu Ke**: Look, Da Lang left his phone here.
Suddenly, Da Lang's phone vibrates again, startling Wu Ke.
**Ba Shuang**: What's wrong?
**Wu Ke**: It's Da Lang's older sister calling. What should we do? Should we answer?
**Ba Shuang**: Of course, answer it.
**Wu Ke**: Who should answer it?
**Ba Shuang**: You. (points at Wu Ke)
**Wu Ke**: Fine.
**Wu Ke**: Hello, Da Lang's sister.
**Older Sister**: Why are you answering? Where is Da Lang?
**Wu Ke**: Da Lang went out with Yi Fei and hasn't come back yet.
**Older Sister**: What? He hasn't come back yet? Where did they go?
**Wu Ke**: I don't know. Maybe you should call Yi Fei.
**Older Sister**: Okay.
She hangs up and immediately calls Yi Fei.
### Hospital
Yi Fei's phone suddenly rings.
**Yi Fei**: Hello, Da Lang's sister. What's up?
**Older Sister**: Yi Fei, where are you and Da Lang? Why aren't you back at the dorm yet?
**Yi Fei**: Don't worry, sister. We're on our way back.
**Older Sister**: Really? Be careful, then.
**Yi Fei**: Got it, sister. I'll hang up now.
A doctor walks out of the room.
**Yi Fei**: Doctor, is he okay?
**Doctor**: He's fine. He'll wake up in a couple of days.
**Yi Fei**: Thank you, doctor.
**Baozhu**: Wow, Zhang Yifei, I didn't expect you to fight.
**Yi Fei**: I didn't. But you were terrifying earlier.
Baozhu grabs Yi Fei by the collar.
**Baozhu**: What are you mumbling about?
**Yi Fei**: Nothing.
**Baozhu**: Is your head okay?
Only now does Yi Fei realize his head is injured.
**Yi Fei**: It's nothing.
**Baozhu**: Nothing? Your head is bleeding. Go get it bandaged. What if it gets worse?
**Yi Fei**: Baozhu, you really care about your friends, huh?
**Baozhu**: Hmph, who cares about you? I'm only doing this because you and that mushroom head saved me. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with you.
After saying this, Baozhu leaves. Yi Fei watches her leave, shaking his head. Clearly, she cares but won't admit it.
Yi Fei's phone rings again. It's Ba Shuang and Wu Ke calling.
**Yi Fei**: Hello, Wu Ke. What's up?
**Wu Ke**: Yi Fei, where are you and Da Lang? Why aren't you back yet?
**Yi Fei**: We're at the hospital.
**Wu Ke**: Hospital? What happened?
**Yi Fei**: It's a long story. Da Lang got hurt, and I need to stay here to take care of him. I'll explain tomorrow.
**Wu Ke**: Got it.
### Dormitory
Wu Ke hangs up the phone.
### 8:30 PM
Da Lang is mumbling in his sleep.
**Da Lang**: You bad guys, stay away from Baozhu. Or else...
Da Lang keeps saying these things. Yi Fei wakes up from the noise. He looks at Da Lang and sighs.
**Yi Fei**: So devoted...
### A Few Days Later
### Classroom
Baozhu (thinking): What's with that mushroom head? Why isn't he in class today?
**Ba Shuang**: Hey, Wu Ke, what's up with Da Lang and Yi Fei? Why aren't they in class today?
**Wu Ke**: Who knows?
Wu Ke looks at Baozhu and gets an idea.
**Wu Ke**: Ba Shuang, why don't you ask her? (points at Baozhu)
**Ba Shuang**: Her? Does she know?
**Wu Ke**: Just ask.
**Ba Shuang**: You ask.
**Wu Ke**: Fine.
**Wu Ke**: Baozhu, have you seen Da Lang and Yi Fei today?
**Baozhu**: How would I know?
**Ba Shuang**: See? She doesn't know anything about them.
**Wu Ke**: Maybe I should go to the hospital to check.
**Ba Shuang**: Good idea.
Baozhu overhears this.
Baozhu (thinking): Should I go to the hospital to check on that mushroom head? Wait, what am I thinking? Why am I worried about him?
### Hospital
Da Lang is having a nightmare.
**Da Lang**: Where am I? Am I dead?
**Guardian Spirit (Baozhu)**: Don't be afraid. You'll be fine.
**Da Lang**: Who are you?
**Guardian Spirit (Baozhu)**: I'm your guardian spirit.
**Da Lang**: My guardian spirit?
**Guardian Spirit (Baozhu)**: If we're fated, we'll meet again. (disappears)
**Da Lang**: Don't go...
Da Lang suddenly wakes up from his nightmare.
**Yi Fei**: Da Lang, are you okay?
**Da Lang**: Where am I?
**Yi Fei**: You're in the hospital.
**Da Lang**: The hospital? How did I get here?
**Yi Fei**: You got knocked out by the thugs. Remember?
Da Lang thinks back.
**Da Lang**: Oh, right. I remember.
**Da Lang**: Yi Fei, what happened to your head?
**Yi Fei**: It's nothing, just a small injury.
**Da Lang**: Where's Baozhu? Is she okay?
**Yi Fei**: She's fine. Don't worry about her.
At that moment, Baozhu appears at the door.
**Da Lang**: Baozhu, you're here! (excited)
Baozhu walks in and sits down.
**Baozhu**: Hey, mushroom head, you okay?
**Da Lang**: Yeah, I'm fine now.
**Da Lang**: Baozhu, did you come to see me?
**Baozhu**: No.
**Da Lang**: What?
**Baozhu**: I was just passing by and thought I'd check on you.
**Baozhu**: Since you're fine, I'm leaving.
**Da Lang**: Why are you leaving so soon?
Baozhu turns and looks at Da Lang.
**Baozhu**: I came to thank you for saving me. I, Chen Baozhu, don't owe anyone favors.
After saying that, Baozhu leaves.
**Da Lang**: That's so unfair. (unhappy)
Yi Fei walks in.
**Yi Fei**: Baozhu left?
**Da Lang**: Yeah. (unhappy)
**Yi Fei**: Did you upset her?
**Da Lang**: No. She said she came to thank me for saving her and that we have nothing to do with each other anymore.
**Yi Fei**: Really?
At that moment, Ba Shuang and Wu Ke enter the room.
**Wu Ke**: Da Lang, are you okay?
**Da Lang**: I'm fine. Thanks for asking.
**Ba Shuang**: We saw Baozhu at the hospital entrance. What was she doing here?
Yi Fei notices Da Lang's unhappiness and decides not to tell the truth.
**Yi Fei**: Who knows why she came.
**Wu Ke**: Since Da Lang is fine, we'll head back to school.
**Da Lang**: Okay, I might as well check out too.
**Yi Fei**: Da Lang, are you sure you're okay? Should we call a doctor?
**Da Lang**: I'm fine.
**Yi Fei**: I'll go handle the discharge paperwork.
### Dormitory
**Ba Shuang**: Tell us, you said you and Yi Fei went for a walk. How did you end up in the hospital?
**Da Lang**: I don't even know how to explain it to you.
**Yi Fei**: This guy turned into a hero trying to save a damsel in distress.
**Wu Ke**: Save a damsel in distress? Who did you save?
**Yi Fei**: Chen Baozhu.
**Ba Shuang & Wu Ke**: What? Chen Baozhu? Why would you save her?
**Da Lang**: It doesn't matter who I saved. The important thing is, I'm a man, and I couldn't protect a woman.
**Da Lang**: I remember fainting with Baozhu by my side. What happened after that?
**Da Lang**: Could it be...
**Da Lang fantasizes**
Two thugs approach Chen Baozhu.
**Baozhu**: Please, let me go.
**Thug**: Let you go? No way. Haha!
**Baozhu**: Ah!
**Back to reality**
**Da Lang** (screams)
**Ba Shuang**: Da Lang, why are you scaring us?
**Da Lang**: Baozhu might have been...
**Wu Ke**: Been what?
Yi Fei knows Da Lang is imagining things again and hits him lightly.
**Yi Fei**: Da Lang, you have too much imagination.
**Yi Fei**: Didn't I tell you? Baozhu is fine. Stop overthinking.
**Da Lang**: Oh.
### The Next Day
### Classroom
Da Lang notices Baozhu hasn't come to class all day and feels upset.
**Teacher**: Quiet down, everyone. Today we're having our first camping activity of the semester. How about a barbecue by the river?
**Class**: Sounds great!
### By the River
**Da Lang**: Yi Fei, why didn't Baozhu come to class today?
**Yi Fei**: How would I know?
**Yi Fei's thoughts**: Wait, this plot seems to be moving to episode 2.
**Wu Ke**: Yeah, we don't really know Chen Baozhu. Who knows?
**Ba Shuang**: Even if she disappeared, we wouldn't know.
**Da Lang**: Really? Hearing you guys say that makes me so worried.
**Yi Fei**: She didn't come. How would we know what happened?
**Wu Ke**: Exactly. Yi Fei's right. Let's just barbecue for now.
On the other side, Baozhu is standing by the river, deep in thought.
**Da Lang**: Isn't that Baozhu? Could she be about to jump into the river?
**Da Lang**: Baozhu, don't!
Baozhu turns around, looking puzzled.
Da Lang, thinking Baozhu is about to jump, rushes over to save her but ends up falling into the water himself.
Baozhu is startled.
Da Lang struggles in the water, unable to swim.
**Baozhu**: Hey, mushroom head, don't tell me you can't swim.
Da Lang can't hold on and begins to sink.
Baozhu quickly jumps in to save him.
### On the Shore
**Baozhu**: Hey, mushroom head, wake up!
Baozhu's thoughts: What should I do? Should I give him CPR? No matter what, saving him is the priority.
Baozhu gives Da Lang CPR.
### By the River
**Ba Shuang**: Where's Da Lang?
**Wu Ke**: No idea.
**Ba Shuang & Wu Ke**: Not again.
**Ba Shuang**: According to protocol, we should call his phone.
**Wu Ke**: According to protocol, you should call.
Ba Shuang, annoyed, picks up the phone and dials Da Lang's number.
**Ba Shuang**: According to protocol, no one will answer.
**Wu Ke**: According to protocol, I bet his phone will ring nearby.
**Wu Ke**: Look, it really is ringing here.
Yi Fei walks over.
**Yi Fei**: You're kidding me.
**Ba Shuang**: Yi Fei, why do you have Da Lang's phone?
**Yi Fei**: I found it by the river earlier.
**Ba Shuang**: According to protocol...
**Wu Ke**: Forget protocol, we should split up and search.
**Ba Shuang**: But that's part of the protocol too.
**Yi Fei**: Enough, Ba Shuang. Wu Ke is right. Let's not follow protocol and just search.
**Ba Shuang & Wu Ke**: Da Lang...
At this moment, Da Lang's phone rings in Yi Fei's hand.
**Yi Fei**: Hello, Da Lang's sister.
**Older Sister**: Yi Fei? Where's Da Lang? Let me talk to him.
**Yi Fei**: Da Lang, he...
**Older Sister**: What's wrong with Da Lang?
**Wu Ke**: Da Lang is missing.
**Older Sister**: What? (faints)
### At This Moment
Da Lang's phone rings in Yi Fei's hand.
**Wu Ke**: Yi Fei, why aren't you answering the phone?
**Yi Fei**: It's Da Lang's sister calling. Should I answer it?
**Ba Shuang**: Maybe we shouldn't answer it. Let's keep her in the dark for now.
**Wu Ke**: But we can't hide it forever. She'll find out eventually.
**Yi Fei**: We should just tell her.
**Yi Fei**: Hello, Da Lang's sister.
**Older Sister**: Yi Fei? Where's Da Lang? Let me talk to him.
**Yi Fei**: Da Lang, he...
**Older Sister**: What's wrong with Da Lang?
**Wu Ke**: Da Lang is missing.
**Older Sister**: What? (faints)
### At Baozhu's House
Da Lang wakes up in Baozhu's bed.
**Da Lang**: Where am I? And why am I not wearing any clothes? What happened?
**Da Lang**: Whatever happened, I need to get out of here first.
Da Lang smells something.
**Da Lang**: What's that smell? Gas?
He quickly goes downstairs.
Thinking Baozhu is attempting to commit suicide by turning on the gas, he rushes to stop her.
**Da Lang**: No!
Da Lang stumbles and falls. As he stands up, his towel drops.
**Da Lang**: Ah, don't look!
**Baozhu**: You're the one who dropped it, not me.
**Da Lang**: What did you see?
**Baozhu**: I saw... (covers her mouth, laughing)
**Da Lang**: What are you laughing at? What did you see?
**Baozhu**: Hey, how old are you? Why are you wearing such childish underwear? (laughs)
Da Lang quickly wraps himself in the towel.
**Da Lang**: Where am I?
**Baozhu**: My house.
**Da Lang**: Your house? I was trying to stop you from...
**Baozhu**: Stop me from what?
**Da Lang**: I thought you were trying to commit suicide by turning on the gas.
Baozhu smacks Da Lang on the head.
**Baozhu**: Idiot. I was just boiling water.
**Da Lang**: Why were you boiling water?
**Baozhu**: Of course, for you to drink, you idiot.
**Da Lang**: Then why am I not wearing any clothes?
**Baozhu**: Because I took them off you.
**Da Lang**: What? Why?
