Chapter 5 - Chapter five: I LIKE HER

### Translation of the Script into English

#### Scene: Baozhu's Home

**Baozhu's Mom**: Baozhu, how could you get this drunk?

**Baozhu**: (Ignores her mother)

**Baozhu's Mom**: Baozhu. (At this moment, her phone rings)

**Baozhu's Mom**: Hello, your daughter is drunk. Do you think I wanted her to drink? How dare you blame me.

**Baozhu's Mom**: You've been away for years, not caring or asking about your daughter.

**Baozhu's Mom**: Fine, if you're so capable, you come and take care of her.

**Baozhu**: Stop fighting. If you must fight, don't do it in my room.

**Baozhu's Mom**: See, look at what our daughter has become.

(Baozhu pulls the covers over herself and continues to sleep)

#### The Next Day

(Baozhu, still suffering from a hangover, has a terrible headache.)

**Teacher**: Chen Baozhu, Chen Baozhu. (Baozhu doesn't respond)

(Dalang and Yifei nudge Baozhu)

**Baozhu**: What is it?

**Teacher**: If you're so keen on sleeping, get up and read a passage in English.

**Baozhu**: Teacher, I have menstrual cramps.

**Teacher**: Really?

**Baozhu**: Do you want to check? (The class bursts into laughter)

**Teacher**: Then, the student in front, stand up and read.

**Dalang**: Me?

**Teacher**: Yes, you, stand up.

(Dalang stands up. Baozhu and Yifei both know Dalang isn't good at English.)

**Dalang**: WI…(can't continue)…WI…(struggles)

**Dalang**: WIthout you (The class laughs again.)

(Baozhu and Yifei feel angry. Yifei is about to stand up to defend Dalang, but Baozhu stands up first.)

**Baozhu**: Whoever dares to laugh at him, I'll beat them up. (The class goes silent.)

(Yifei thinks to himself: "What a terrifying woman.")

(Dalang looks at Baozhu's intimidating presence.)

(Dalang thinks: "She says that like I'm her child. I already have one trouble I can't get rid of, now there's this girl too. I need to distance myself from her.")

**Dalang**: It's okay, classmates, go ahead and laugh.

(Baozhu hears this and gets very angry. She emits a menacing aura.)

**Baozhu**: You're such a useless guy. (She kicks him to the front of the classroom.)

(Yifei thinks: "Dalang brought this on himself.")

#### School Corridor

**Baozhu**: Hey, mushroom head.

**Dalang**: Huh? (Dalang turns to look at Baozhu.)

**Baozhu**: Let's go eat together later.

**Dalang**: I...

(Dalang looks at Yifei and suddenly has an idea.)

**Dalang**: I've already arranged to eat with Yifei, Bashuang, and Wuke.

**Dalang**: Bye. (Dalang tries to leave.)

**Yifei**: Wait a minute, Dalang, come back. (Yifei pulls Dalang back.)

**Yifei**: When did you arrange to eat with me?

(Dalang whispers to Yifei: "Can't you just go along with it?")

**Baozhu**: Zhang Yifei, sorry about hitting your head yesterday.

**Yifei**: It's okay.

**Baozhu**: To apologize, I'll treat you and mushroom head to a meal today.

**Yifei**: Sure.

**Dalang**: Yifei, you go eat with Baozhu, I won't go. (He tries to leave but Baozhu pulls him back.)

**Baozhu**: It's just a meal, why so much fuss? I've already asked you, haven't I?

(Baozhu drags Dalang along, Yifei follows with a smile.)

(Dalang thinks: "Am I never going to get rid of these two? Is this my fate?")

#### Restaurant

(Baozhu drags Dalang all the way to the restaurant. Everyone in the restaurant looks curiously at Baozhu and Dalang.)

(A waiter approaches.)

**Waiter**: What would the three of you like to eat?

**Baozhu**: Four bowls of beef noodles.

**Dalang**: I only need one bowl.

(Baozhu nudges Dalang.)

**Baozhu**: I want two bowls.

(Yifei accidentally bumps into someone nearby.)

**Yifei**: Sorry, sorry.

**Molly**: It's okay.

**Dalang**: Molly, Yeqian, Jiajia.

**Molly**: Are you two new students?

**Dalang**: No, we are transfer students.

(Baozhu watches Dalang and Yifei chatting with Molly and feels unhappy.)

(Molly notices Baozhu.)

**Molly**: Dalang, Yifei, be careful.

**Dalang**: What do you mean?

(Yifei already understands what Molly is implying.)

**Yeqian**: The person sitting next to you has stolen something before.

**Dalang**: Who? (Dalang looks at Baozhu.)

**Dalang**: Baozhu?

**Yeqian**: See if she'll admit it herself.

**Dalang**: Baozhu, is it true?

**Baozhu**: None of your business.

**Molly**: Dalang, believe us, we wouldn't lie to you.

**Jiajia**: You and Zhang Yifei just met her, you don't really know her.

**Yeqian**: One day, if your things go missing, don't blame us for not warning you.

**Dalang**: I believe Baozhu isn't like that.

**Jiajia**: Even if you believe her, befriending such a realistic and selfish girl will only bring you bad luck.

**Dalang**: What do you mean?

(Yifei knows they have hit a sore spot for Baozhu.)

**Yifei**: Enough, stop talking.

**Jiajia**: If you haven't done it, why be afraid of others talking about it?

**Molly**: Yeah.

**Dalang**: Yeah, Baozhu, if you haven't done it, just explain to everyone.

**Yifei**: Dalang, stop asking.

**Baozhu**: Have you said enough? If you think I did it, then I did it. Are you happy now? (She leaves.)

**Yifei**: Dalang, it's all your fault for being nosy. (Yifei and Dalang chase after her.)

#### Campus

**Dalang**: Baozhu. (Dalang grabs Baozhu.)

**Baozhu**: Let go of me.

**Dalang**: Was what they said true? Did you really steal something?

**Baozhu**: If even you think I did it, then I did it. (She leaves again.)

**Yifei**: Dalang, why did you ask her that?

**Dalang**: Did I say something wrong?

**Yifei**: Yes, you did.

**Dalang**: What should I do?

**Yifei**: Do you believe Baozhu?

**Dalang**: I...believe her. Yifei, what should I do?

**Yifei**: You should apologize to Baozhu tomorrow.

**Dalang**: Okay.

(Baozhu is in a terrible mood and drives recklessly around campus.)

**Baozhu (thinking)**: I'm a bad person. My parents don't like me, my classmates don't like me. If I disappeared, everyone would be happy, right? (A car approaches and Baozhu hears Dalang's shout, then stops.)

(Baozhu hides in the car and cries.)

#### Dormitory

(Bashuang and Wuke are playing computer games.)

**Dalang**: What do you think?

**Bashuang**: About what?

**Wuke**: What do you mean?

**Dalang**: I've been talking about Chen Baozhu for so long. Have you been listening?

**Wuke**: Chen Baozhu's stories are all rumors. No one has actually seen anything. Nobody knows the truth.

**Dalang**: So there must be something wrong here.

**Bashuang**: If Chen Baozhu hasn't done anything bad, why does everyone hate her?

**Wuke**: Yeah, if you keep being friends with her, people will hate you too, and we won't be able to be friends anymore.

**Bashuang**: Why do you care so much? Why do you have to get involved in her business?

**Dalang**: I care about my classmates. Actually, I think she's quite pitiful.

**Wuke**: Pitiful people often have something hateful about them. Not worth sympathizing with.

**Bashuang**: Right.

**Dalang**: She doesn't seem as bad as you say. Why doesn't anyone want to be her friend?

**Wuke**: We're too busy for that.

**Bashuang**: Right, we have too much homework to care about these things.

**Dalang**: Oh, forget it.

(Yifei walks into the dormitory.)

**Yifei**: What are you guys talking about?

**Dalang

**A Few Days Later**

**Dormitory**

**Yifei:** Wuke, have you seen Dalaang?

**Wuke:** No, I haven't.

**Bashuang:** Dalaang left at noon today.

**Yifei:** Did he mention where he was going?

**Bashuang:** He said he was going to the library to find research report materials.

**Yifei:** I'm off then.

**Wuke:** Yifei, where are you going?

**Yifei:** To find Dalaang.

**In front of Hangzhou Library**

Baoshu has been waiting for a long time, constantly checking the time.

**Baoshu's inner thoughts:** What's with those two guys? Why aren't they here yet?

At this moment, Yifei comes running from afar.

**Yifei:** Sister Baoshu, I'm sorry. Sister Baoshu, I'm late. Yifei says, panting.

**Baoshu:** Where's that mushroom head?

**Yifei:** Dalaang? Didn't he leave earlier? Hasn't he arrived yet?

**Baoshu:** Yeah, who knows what he's doing?

**Meanwhile**

Dalaang is walking with a map.

**Dalaang's inner thoughts:** This is bad. Sister Baoshu said not to be late, but I didn't expect Hangzhou's roads to be so complicated. Where is this place anyway?

**Library**

Baoshu is getting annoyed.

**Baoshu:** That mushroom head, I told him not to be late, and he dared to keep me waiting.

**Yifei's inner thoughts:** It seems like this plot is developing into the third episode. Oh no, Dalaang must be lost.

**Yifei:** Sister Baoshu, could Dalaang be lost?

**Baoshu:** Lost? Doesn't he know the route?

**Yifei:** It seems like he doesn't.

**Baoshu:** This useless guy.

**Yifei:** Should I call Dalaang?

**Baoshu:** Okay.

Yifei dials Dalaang's phone number.

**Meanwhile**

Dalaang's phone suddenly rings.

**Dalaang:** Hello?

**Yifei:** Dalaang, where are you?

**Dalaang:** I think I'm lost.

**Yifei's inner thoughts:** I knew it.

**Baoshu:** Yifei, give me your phone.

**Baoshu:** Mushroom head, where are you?

**Dalaang:** I'm lost.

**Baoshu:** I knew you, this idiot, would get lost.

**Baoshu:** Where are you now? Are there any shops or buildings nearby?

**Dalaang:** Oh, there's a big Ferris wheel here, a lake, and a big bridge.

**Baoshu:** Okay, stay there and don't move. Yifei and I will come to find you.

Baoshu hands the phone back to Yifei.

**Yifei:** Sister Baoshu, do you know where Dalaang is?

**Baoshu:** Yes.

On the road, Baoshu's driving skills amaze Yifei.

**Yifei's inner thoughts:** Impressive.

A few minutes later.

Dalaang is waiting, and suddenly a light flashes in his mind.

Baoshu stops the car in front of Dalaang.

**Baoshu:** You dared to be late and get lost, making me come to find you. What do you want?

**Dalaang:** I...

**Baoshu:** What? How dare you stammer when talking to your grandmother? Are you looking to die?

**Dalaang:** I was following the map and got lost.

**Baoshu:** Are you an idiot? Who told you to walk? Why didn't you take the bus?

**Dalaang:** I don't know how to take the bus.

**Baoshu:** Hangzhou buses aren't the same as Taiwan buses.

**Dalaang:** I've never taken a bus in Taiwan either.

**Baoshu:** How old are you? Can't even take a bus.

**Dalaang:** I'm 20 years old.

Baoshu gets even more furious.

**Baoshu:** I didn't literally mean your age.

**Baoshu:** Because of you, the library is closed now.

Yifei gets out of the car.

**Yifei:** Alright, Sister Baoshu, don't blame Dalaang. This is his first time here, it's normal not to know the route.

**Baoshu:** Okay, let's say it's his first time. But Yifei, how did you know the route to the library?

**Yifei:** I looked up the route online in the dormitory.

**Baoshu:** See, only this idiot didn't know.

**Dalaang:** So what now?

**Baoshu:** How dare you ask?

**Dalaang:** We'll have to go tomorrow then.

**Baoshu:** Isn't that obvious?

**Dalaang:** But...

**Baoshu:** Say another word, and I'll beat you to death.

Dalaang immediately shuts up.

Suddenly, Dalaang's stomach growls.

**Dalaang:** It's not me, it's it. Dalaang points to his own stomach.

**Baoshu:** You, who get lost and can't take a bus, making us fail to find information, and still dare to be hungry? Unbelievable ugly mushroom head.

**Dalaang:** Wow, my nickname got even longer.

**Baoshu:** Useless guy. Baoshu slaps Dalaang on the head. Dalaang yells in pain.

Yifei laughs behind them.

**Yifei:** Alright, Sister Baoshu, let's go eat. I'm hungry too.

**Baoshu:** Okay.

**Restaurant**

**Waiter:** Hello, here's our menu. Please take a look.

**Dalaang's inner thoughts:** I used to have my sister order for me, now I finally get to order myself. Yay.

**Yifei's inner thoughts:** What are these dishes? I've never seen them before.

**Dalaang:** I'll have the lobster foie gras, ribeye steak, medium-rare, and the foie gras should be rich. For starters, I want truffle mashed potatoes, then seafood chowder, and finally, flaming cake for dessert.

**Waiter:** And for you, sir?

**Yifei:** I'll have the same.

Baoshu looks at Dalaang.

**Baoshu:** Didn't expect you, mushroom head, to know how to eat well.

**Dalaang:** Just a little. Dalaang smiles smugly.

**Baoshu:** I'll have the sirloin steak set.

The dishes are served.

**Baoshu:** Eat quickly. I don't have much time to spend with you.

**Dalaang:** Meals should be eaten slowly.

**Baoshu:** Don't be so nagging like a woman. Eat faster.

Yifei, having never eaten Western food, doesn't know how to start.

**Dalaang:** Yifei, why aren't you eating?

**Yifei:** I've never eaten Western food. I don't know how.

**Yifei:** My family is poor. How could we afford Western food?

**Dalaang:** That's true.

**Yifei:** I'd better go back to the dorm and eat instant noodles.

**Baoshu:** Are you done?

**Dalaang:** Yes.

**Baoshu:** Yifei, are you done?

**Yifei:** I'm done.

**Baoshu:** Check, please.

**Waiter:** That'll be 550 yuan.

Baoshu hands the bill to Dalaang.

**Baoshu:** Your two hundred yuan.

**Dalaang:** Yuan?

**Baoshu:** Are you an idiot? Are you planning to use Taiwanese dollars here?

Dalaang checks his wallet.

**Dalaang:** I don't have that much money.

**Baoshu:** No money? No money and still dare to eat here? Are you deliberately trying to take advantage of me?

**Dalaang:** I didn't mean to.

**Baoshu:** No money? Then stay and wash dishes.

**Dalaang:** I didn't mean it.

**Dalaang:** I never paid for my meals before.

**Baoshu:** Oh, so you're a rich kid?

**Baoshu:** Someone always paid for your meals?

Dalaang gets scared after being exposed by Baoshu.

**Dalaang:** No.

**Dalaang:** I'm not a rich kid, and my family isn't wealthy.

**Dalaang:** My family is very poor.

**Baoshu:** Poor? How can a poor person know how to eat steak and demand rich foie gras?

**Dalaang:** I read it in books.

**Baoshu:** Why would you read books to learn how to eat steak?

**Dalaang:** My family is too poor to afford it, so I read books to satisfy my cravings. Dalaang lowers his head.

**Dalaang:** I don't want to stay and wash dishes.

**Baoshu:** You don't have to wash dishes. Come with me to the police station then.

Dalaang gets very scared.

**Dalaang:** No, Sister Baoshu. Please lend me money.

Yifei steps out.

**Yifei:** Sister Baoshu, don't mess with Dalaang.

Baoshu suddenly laughs.

**Baoshu:** So annoying
