Episode 5

Gullivar and Shi Xu enter their new school with excitement and anticipation. On the first day, Gullivar immediately attracts attention from many admiring girls who see him as a wealthy foreign prince from another planet. They swarm him, showering him with gifts and trying to talk to him.

Though Gullivar finds the girls kind and interesting, the commotion overwhelms him. As an introvert, he needs personal space and quiet. He politely but firmly declines the gifts, setting boundaries to maintain a respectful distance.

Shi Xu teases Gullivar about his popularity, but he laughs it off lightly to avoid hurting feelings. When the teacher introduces him, Gullivar simply states his name and says he came to study. He admits being introverted and disliking crowds and noises. The teacher is surprised but promises to respect his space.

During the first lessons, the teacher frequently calls on Gullivar. Initially nervous, he answers correctly, impressing his curious classmates. The teacher even asks for his help with complex notes, which Gullivar kindly agrees to provide after school.

Later in the cafeteria, Gullivar realizes he has no local currency to buy food. He remembers saving some bills in the jungle and magically produces them. He marveled at this strange power, unsure of its origin.

Shi Xu again teases him about the girls' clear interest in him. Gullivar replies calmly, "I didn't mean to attract attention. I came here to study in peace."

Shi Xu says, "But the girls really like you. What's wrong with that?"

Gullivar responds patiently, "Though I appreciate their kindness, I prefer my own company. I don't want to unintentionally lead any of them on."

Shi Xu says, "You're being too serious! Just enjoy the  attention."

Gullivar shakes his head, "No, that would feel dishishonest. I just want to eat lunch quietly and learn." He buys lunch and walks away, leaving Shi Xu looking thoughtful and intrigued by Gullivar's unusual yet admirable sincerity and maturity.

Gullivar eats alone, but contentedly. he focused on simple pleasures: knowledge and food. He eagerly anticipated what this school had in store, hopeful of making true connections without losing his peaceful introverted spirit. The swarming attention faded into the background noise of a new adventure, one Gullivar was determined to face on his own thoughtful terms.

After school , Gullivar tells Shi Xu that he has to go run an errand. He goes to a restaurant that is hiring and uses his charming looks to land a job. The manager hires him on the spot to deliver food orders and serve customers in the restaurant as needed.

Gullivar happily accepts the job as he enjoys working. Some of his schoolmates see him entering the cafe and come up to ask what he is doing there. He replies that he likes his job.

As they talk, more and more school students pour into the cafe, attracted by Gullivar's presence there. The cafe owner is delighted as business picks up. Gullivar happily serves all the customers.

Soon it gets late and Gullivar collects his wages for the day. With the money, he buys himself a cheap mobile phone and saves the rest. He  leaves for home.
