### At the Campus Bus Stop

**Da Lang is waiting at the bus stop for Bao Zhu.**

**Bao Zhu drives up in her car.**

**Bao Zhu:** Get in. Where's Yi Fei?

**Da Lang:** Yi Fei went to the library early. He said he'll wait for us at the entrance.

**Da Lang:** Bao Zhu jie, can we take the bus today? *Da Lang points at the bus stop.*

**Bao Zhu:** Don't you not know how to take the bus?

**Da Lang:** That's exactly why I want you to take me, so I can experience it.

**Bao Zhu:** Am I your nanny? Driving you is already generous. Now you want me to take the bus with you?

**Da Lang:** Bao Zhu jie, please? I know you're the nicest. Please say yes?

**Bao Zhu:** You can't even afford the bus fare?

**Da Lang:** Yes, exactly.

**Bao Zhu is speechless.**

**Bao Zhu:** Fine.

**Just then, a bus arrives.**

**Da Lang:** Wow, this is a bus!

**Bao Zhu taps her card as she boards. Da Lang finds it strange.**

**Da Lang's Thoughts:** What's this? *He keeps hitting his backpack on the card reader, but nothing happens.*

**Bao Zhu's Thoughts:** This idiot. *Bao Zhu walks over and hits Da Lang on the head.*

**Bao Zhu:** Idiot. *She taps the bus card for him.*

**Da Lang looks around excitedly.**

**Da Lang's Thoughts:** So this is what taking the bus feels like.

**The bus stops at a station.**

**A pregnant woman and a little girl board, and Bao Zhu immediately gives up her seat.**

**Da Lang:** Bao Zhu jie, what's wrong? *Bao Zhu looks at Da Lang.*

**Passenger:** Thank you.

**Bao Zhu:** No problem.

**Da Lang:** Bao Zhu jie, I didn't know you're supposed to give up your seat to pregnant women and children.

**Bao Zhu:** That's basic common sense.

**Da Lang:** Thank you for teaching me, Bao Zhu jie.

**Bao Zhu:** I can't believe you've lived for twenty years in such ignorance.

**Bao Zhu:** Never made friends, never paid for your own meals, never taken the bus. What else haven't you done?

**Da Lang:** Lots of things. That's why I came here to study by myself.

**Da Lang:** I want to experience many different things, including many firsts.

**Bao Zhu:** Firsts? *Bao Zhu misunderstands Da Lang's meaning.*

**Da Lang:** My first time is with you, Bao Zhu jie.

**Bao Zhu:** Hey, don't say such things.

**Da Lang:** I'm not kidding. My first bus ride is with you.

**Bao Zhu relaxes when she realizes what Da Lang means.**

**Bao Zhu:** So what? There's nothing special about that.

**Da Lang:** Of course there is. I'll always think of you when I take the bus.

**Bao Zhu looks at Da Lang.**

**Bao Zhu:** Why think of me? Don't think of me.

**Da Lang:** I can't think of you?

**Bao Zhu:** No, if you think of me, you're dead.

**Da Lang:** Oh.

**Just then, the bus brakes and Bao Zhu stumbles, falling into Da Lang's arms.**

**They look at each other face to face. Bao Zhu pushes Da Lang away.**

**Da Lang blushes.**

### Outside the Library

**Yi Fei is waiting anxiously.**

**Yi Fei's Thoughts:** Why are those two so slow?

**Yi Fei's Thoughts:** According to the script, they should be on the bus now.

**Bao Zhu and Da Lang walk over.**

**Yi Fei:** Bao Zhu jie, why are you so late? Did your car break down?

**Da Lang:** No, I took the bus with Bao Zhu jie.

**Yi Fei's Thoughts:** I knew it.

**Yi Fei:** The bus? *Yi Fei looks at Bao Zhu.*

**Bao Zhu:** Yes, this idiot said he never took the bus before, so I took him on it.

**Bao Zhu:** Enough talk, let's go find the materials.

### Inside the Library

**Yi Fei:** Bao Zhu jie, I'll start looking for materials. As for Da Lang, I'll leave him to you. *He disappears.*

**Da Lang:** Yi Fei, you jerk.

**Bao Zhu:** Okay, let's start looking. *Bao Zhu starts walking, Da Lang follows.*

**Bao Zhu:** Why are you following me?

**Da Lang:** I'm afraid I'll get lost, and then you won't be able to find me.

**Bao Zhu:** Ugh.

**Bao Zhu searches the shelves, Da Lang watches her from the opposite shelf.**

**Bao Zhu:** What are you doing?

**Da Lang:** What are you doing? *Da Lang mimics Bao Zhu's tone.*

**Bao Zhu:** If you talk to me like that again, see what happens.

**Da Lang:** Annoying.

**Bao Zhu:** Oh my God, I'm going crazy. *Bao Zhu grabs a book, Da Lang tries to flirt with her.*

**Bao Zhu glares at Da Lang.**

**Da Lang:** Hi. *Bao Zhu ignores him. Da Lang also grabs a book.*

**Bao Zhu flips through the book, Da Lang hides his face behind his book, peeking at Bao Zhu.**

**Bao Zhu:** If you look at me one more time, I'll gouge your eyes out. *Everyone in the library looks at them.*

**Da Lang:** Sorry, continue.

**Bao Zhu:** Are you looking at me or at the book?

**Da Lang:** Aren't you looking at me too? Otherwise, how do you know I'm looking at you?

**Bao Zhu:** So you've learned to talk back now?

**Bao Zhu:** You want a beating? *Bao Zhu slaps the table and stands up. Da Lang quickly dodges. They chase each other around the bookshelves.*

**Bao Zhu trips on the bookshelf leg and falls. The bookshelf starts to fall too.**

**Da Lang:** Bao Zhu jie, watch out! *Da Lang runs over and uses his body to shield her from the falling books, but gets knocked out.*

**Da Lang faints.**

**Bao Zhu:** Hey, Mushroom Head, hey.

**Yi Fei walks over.**

**Yi Fei:** Bao Zhu jie, are you okay? *Yi Fei helps Bao Zhu up.*

**Bao Zhu:** Check on Mushroom Head.

**Yi Fei:** Bao Zhu jie, Da Lang is fine, just knocked out.

**Bao Zhu sighs in relief.**

**Bao Zhu:** Oh.

**Ten minutes later.**

**Da Lang wakes up.**

### Outside the Library

**Yi Fei:** What happened to you two?

**Bao Zhu:** He asked for it himself.

**Bao Zhu:** Are you okay?

**Da Lang:** Are you asking my head or me?

**Da Lang:** My head feels like it doesn't belong to me anymore.

**Bao Zhu laughs.**

**Da Lang:** That's mean. I'm hurt and you're laughing.

**Bao Zhu:** I just think you're ridiculous.

**Da Lang:** What's so funny? *Da Lang is a bit angry.*

**Bao Zhu:** Count how many times you've saved me.

**Da Lang thinks. Yi Fei interrupts.**

**Yi Fei:** Twice. Beaten by thugs and knocked out by books.

**Da Lang:** Also knocked out from drowning.

**Bao Zhu:** And what's the result each time?

**Yi Fei:** He faints every time.

**Da Lang:** Yes, always fainting.

**Bao Zhu:** So Yi Fei, isn't that funny?

**Bao Zhu:** Every time you try to save me, I end up fine and you end up getting hurt.

**Bao Zhu:** Haha.

**Da Lang:** Are you mocking me?

**Bao Zhu:** Haha.

**Da Lang:** You. *Da Lang turns away angrily.*

**Bao Zhu:** Hey, I wasn't mocking you, I just...

**Bao Zhu:** Okay, I was mocking you.

**Yi Fei:** Da Lang, Bao Zhu jie is just joking. Don't take it seriously. *Yi Fei also laughs.*

**Da Lang:** Yi Fei, why are you laughing too?

**Yi Fei:** I just think what Bao Zhu said is too funny. I couldn't help it. *Yi Fei continues laughing.*

**Da Lang:** You two? *Da Lang walks away angrily.*

**Bao Zhu and Yi Fei chase after him.**

**Bao Zhu:** Hey, I was joking. Don't be mad.

**Yi Fei:** Okay, Da Lang, we won't laugh anymore, okay?

**Molly, Ye Qian, and Jia Jia walk over.**

**Ye Qian:** Isn't that Da Lang and Yi Fei?

**Jia Jia:** Why are they with Chen Bao Zhu?

**Bao Zhu looks unhappy seeing the three of them.**

**Molly:** Da Lang, Yi Fei, why are you with Chen Bao Zhu?

**Da Lang:** I... *Da Lang turns to look at them.*

**Yi Fei:** We're working on a project with Bao Zhu jie. We're here to find materials.

**Da Lang:** Yeah, we're here to find materials.

**Ye Qian:** She must have forced you to team up with her because no one else would.

**Bao Zhu:** Just the opposite.

**Da Lang:** That's right. Yi Fei and I chose to team up with Bao Zhu jie.

**Jia Jia:** Da Lang, if you want to be friends with us, you must stay away from Chen Bao Zhu.

**Da Lang:** Why can't I be friends with Bao Zhu jie and with you?

**Jia Jia:** No, you must choose sides.

### Campus Bus Stop

**Da Lang is waiting at the bus stop for Bao Zhu.**

**Bao Zhu drives up in her car.**

**Bao Zhu:** Get in. Where's Yi Fei?

**Da Lang:** Yi Fei went to the library ahead of us. He said he'll wait for us at the entrance.

**Da Lang:** Bao Zhu Jie, can we take the bus today? (pointing at the bus stop sign)

**Bao Zhu:** You don't know how to take the bus, do you?

**Da Lang:** Exactly, that's why I want you to show me how to do it.

**Bao Zhu:** Am I your nanny? It's already nice of me to give you a ride, and now you want me to take the bus with you?

**Da Lang:** Bao Zhu Jie, please? I know you're the best. Just this once?

**Bao Zhu:** Are you so poor that you can't even afford the bus?

**Da Lang:** Yup.

**Bao Zhu is speechless.**

**Bao Zhu:** Fine.

**At this moment, the bus arrives.**

**Da Lang:** Wow, this is a bus!

**Bao Zhu gets on and taps her bus card. Da Lang looks puzzled.**

**Da Lang's thoughts:** What is this?

**Da Lang keeps hitting his backpack against the card reader, but it doesn't respond.**

**Bao Zhu's thoughts:** What an idiot.

**Bao Zhu walks over and lightly hits Da Lang on the head.**

**Bao Zhu:** Idiot. (She taps her bus card on the reader.)

**Da Lang looks around excitedly.**

**Da Lang's thoughts:** So this is what it feels like to take a bus!

**The bus stops at the next stop.**

**A pregnant woman and a little girl get on. Bao Zhu quickly gives up her seat.**

**Da Lang:** Bao Zhu Jie, what's going on?

**Bao Zhu looks at Da Lang.**

**Passenger:** Thank you.

**Bao Zhu:** You're welcome.

**Da Lang:** Bao Zhu Jie, I didn't know we should give up seats for pregnant women and children.

**Bao Zhu:** Come on, that's basic common sense.

**Da Lang:** Thank you, Bao Zhu Jie, for teaching me this.

**Bao Zhu:** Oh my God, I really don't know what kind of world you've been living in for the past twenty years.

**Bao Zhu:** You've never had friends, never paid for your own meals, and never taken a bus. What else haven't you done?

**Da Lang:** A lot. There are many things I haven't experienced. That's why I wanted to study here by myself.

**Da Lang:** I want to experience many different aspects of life, including many firsts.

**Bao Zhu:** Firsts? (Bao Zhu misunderstands what Da Lang means)

**Da Lang:** My first time is with you, Bao Zhu Jie.

**Bao Zhu:** Hey, don't talk nonsense.

**Da Lang:** I'm not lying. My first time on a bus is with you.

**Bao Zhu relaxes upon hearing this.**

**Bao Zhu:** So what? It's nothing worth commemorating.

**Da Lang:** Of course it is. From now on, whenever I take the bus, I'll think of you.

**Bao Zhu looks at Da Lang.**

**Bao Zhu:** Why think of me? Don't think of me.

**Da Lang:** Can't I think of you?

**Bao Zhu:** Of course not. If you think of me, you're dead.

**Da Lang:** Ah.

**At this moment, the bus brakes suddenly, causing Bao Zhu to stumble into Da Lang's arms.**

**They look at each other face-to-face. Bao Zhu pushes Da Lang away.**

**Da Lang blushes.**

### Library Entrance

**Yi Fei is anxiously waiting.**

**Yi Fei's thoughts:** Why are those two so slow?

**Yi Fei's thoughts:** They should be on the bus according to the script.

**At this moment, Bao Zhu and Da Lang walk over.**

**Yi Fei:** Bao Zhu Jie, why are you two so slow? Did Bao Zhu Jie's car break down?

**Da Lang:** No, we took the bus with Bao Zhu Jie.

**Yi Fei's thoughts:** I knew it.

**Yi Fei:** The bus? (looks at Bao Zhu)

**Bao Zhu:** Yes, this idiot said he had never taken a bus before, so I took him on one.

**Bao Zhu:** Alright, no more nonsense. Let's go find some information.

### Inside the Library

**Yi Fei:** Bao Zhu Jie, I'll go look for information first. As for Da Lang, I'll leave him to you. (Then Yi Fei disappears.)

**Da Lang:** Yi Fei, you jerk.

**Bao Zhu:** Alright, let's start looking for information. (Bao Zhu walks ahead, Da Lang follows her.)

**Bao Zhu:** Why are you following me?

**Da Lang:** I'm afraid I'll get lost and you won't be able to find me. That would be a hassle.

**Bao Zhu:** Whatever.

**Bao Zhu looks for information on one bookshelf while Da Lang watches her from another.**

**Bao Zhu:** What are you doing?

**Da Lang:** What are you doing? (mimicking Bao Zhu)

**Bao Zhu:** If you talk to me like that again, just try it.

**Da Lang:** Annoying.

**Bao Zhu:** God, I'm going crazy. (Bao Zhu picks up a book, and Da Lang pretends to be reading while peeking at Bao Zhu.)

**Bao Zhu:** If you look at me one more time, I'll gouge your eyes out. (Everyone in the library looks at them.)

**Da Lang:** Sorry, please continue.

**Bao Zhu:** Are you looking at me or at the book?

**Da Lang:** You're looking at me too, or how would you know I'm looking at you?

**Bao Zhu:** You're talking back now.

**Bao Zhu:** Do you want a beating? (Bao Zhu slams the table and stands up. Da Lang quickly dodges, and they start chasing each other between the bookshelves.)

**Bao Zhu trips over a bookshelf leg and falls. The bookshelf also topples over.**

**Da Lang:** Bao Zhu Jie, watch out! (Da Lang rushes over and uses his body to shield Bao Zhu from the falling books but gets knocked out in the process.)

**Da Lang faints.**

**Bao Zhu:** Hey, Mushroom Head, hey.

**Yi Fei comes over.**

**Yi Fei:** Bao Zhu Jie, are you okay? (helps Bao Zhu up)

**Bao Zhu:** Check on Mushroom Head.

**Yi Fei:** Bao Zhu Jie, Da Lang is fine, he just fainted.

**Bao Zhu sighs in relief.**

**Bao Zhu:** Oh.

**Ten minutes later.**

**Da Lang wakes up.**

### Outside the Library

**Yi Fei:** What happened to you two? How did it end up like this?

**Bao Zhu:** He did it to himself.

**Bao Zhu:** Are you okay?

**Da Lang:** Are you asking my head or me?

**Da Lang:** My head doesn't feel like it belongs to me anymore.

**Bao Zhu laughs.**

**Da Lang:** You're so mean. I'm in pain and you're laughing.

**Bao Zhu:** I just think you're ridiculous.

**Da Lang:** What's so funny? (a little angry)

**Bao Zhu:** Count how many times you've saved me.

**Da Lang thinks. At this moment, Yi Fei chimes in.**

**Yi Fei:** Twice, got beaten up by thugs and got knocked out by books.

**Da Lang:** Also, drowned and passed out.

**Bao Zhu:** And what happens to you each time?

**Yi Fei:** He faints each time.

**Da Lang:** Right, I always faint.

**Bao Zhu:** So Yi Fei, don't you think it's funny?

**Bao Zhu:** Every time you try to save me, I'm always fine, but you end up getting hurt.

**Bao Zhu:** Haha.

**Da Lang:** Are you mocking me?

**Bao Zhu:** Haha.

**Da Lang:** You. (Da Lang gets angry and turns away.)

**Bao Zhu and Yi Fei chase after him.**

**Bao Zhu:** Hey, I was just joking. Don't be mad.

**Yi Fei:** Alright, Da Lang, Bao Zhu Jie and I won't laugh anymore, okay?

**At this moment, Mo Li, Ye Qian, and Jia Jia walk over.**

**Ye Qian:** Isn't that Da Lang and Yi Fei?

**Jia Jia:** Why are they with Chen Bao Zhu?

**Bao Zhu looks unhappy seeing the three of them.**

**Mo Li:** Da Lang, Yi Fei, why are you hanging out with Chen Bao Zhu?

**Da Lang:** I… (Da Lang turns to look at Mo Li and the others.)

**Yi Fei:** Da Lang and I are working on a project with Bao Zhu Jie. We're here to gather information.

**Da Lang:** Yeah, we're here to gather information.

**Ye Qian:** She must have forced you to be in a group with her because no one else would, right?

**Bao Zhu:** Quite the opposite.

**Da Lang:** That's right. Yi Fei and I chose to be in a group with Bao Zhu Jie.

**Jia Jia:** Da Lang, if you want to be friends with us, you have to stay away from Chen Bao Zhu.

**Da Lang:** Why can't I be friends with both Bao Zhu Jie and you?
