Run for Young

Why are you back so late?

Where were you?

I was already asleep.

Why did you even come back?

Cake.

It's your 18th birthday today.

Happy birthday.

Make a wish.

I'm making a wish.

Guess what my wish is.

It won't come true if you say it.

Are you Ma Tian or Li Yaohui now?

Ma Tian.

When did Ma Tian come back?

When you were making your wish.

How did you know what my wish was?

Because I'm the omnipotent Ma Tian.

Let's go home.

I miss mom and dad.

I also miss Doggo.

But I can't tell you that.

I'm afraid you'll get upset.

We're going home tomorrow.

I'm so happy.

You're laughing.

No.

Let me look at you.

There's nothing to see.

Let me look.

Why didn't Qin open their place today?

They're not doing business today?

Qin and Xin

went to travel.

That's awesome.

I really envy them.

Where did they go?

Episode 16 We Are Born for Love

Jiaojiao!

I missed you so much!

Big deal, Jiaojiao!

Returning home

with presents!

Bad-tempered as usual though.

Come on, let's go home!

Let's go!

Look at you three,

all college students now!

Let me see how the offer looks like!

Tsinghua University!

Tsinghua University!

Well done, you!

This is just a copy.

Mine's in the house.

Where's yours, Doggo?

Doggo?

Where's your offer?

Doggo...

I dunno...

What do you mean you dunno?

Time for the third round of offer has already passed.

I really don't know!

It's passed already anyway!

Are you...

It's true!

Why are you in such a bad mood then?

I think it doesn't matter!

I just didn't want to let Li Anran down.

She helped me so much with study and revision.

Wh...what is this?

It's for you!

What is it?

Give it to me!

What's this?

Slow down!

What is it!

Enough, enough, give it to me!

Give it over, give it now!

Be careful!

I really care about this!

You think I have no dignity?

Tu Jun,

congratulations on being accepted

by the Sports and Humanities department of our college.

Doggo!

Doggo!

Butcher!

Your little rascal got into college!

I'm the first college student of the Tu family!

Butcher!

Your little brat got into college!

I'm the first college student of the Tu family!

I got into college!

Butcher!

Your little brat got into college!

I'm the first college student of the Tu family!

I'm the first college student of the Tu family!

Congratulations, old Tu!

Your Junjun got into college!

Shenxi and Liangliang

got into college too.

My Jiaojiao and her boyfr...

boy classmate

will surely get into college too next year.

This girl classmate who gets on well with Junjun

will go abroad in two weeks.

College starts later over there.

Old Tu,

here's to you!

Alright, let's eat now.

Hold on!

Same old rule,

group photo!

- Right. - That's right.

Come on!

You foolish kids!

Cheese!

Cheese!

Don't push me!

Don't push me, you!

No!

The fan doesn't blow on me otherwise!

I want the fan too!

Get lost!

It's so damn hot!

Stop pushing around, you two!

Only gets hotter and sweatier

the more you push around!

Why are you hitting me?

You're all going to college.

Have you thought about

what you wanna do in the future?

No one's starting?

I'll start then.

Jiaojiao and I

will repeat a year, of course.

We'll get into the same college.

Yeah.

Well...

I'll open a milk tea shop then.

And when the business grows,

I'll open another one,

one after another,

and my milk tea shops will be all over China!

People nowadays

like agar jelly and rice jelly.

Nobody's buying your milk tea.

That's right.

What do you know!

Maybe

in the future,

everybody likes milk tea!

Milk tea is nothing.

I'm gonna develop games.

There're way too many before you for that!

I mean those games on smartphones!

I'll transplant the most popular web games

onto smartphones.

Everyone can play games

whenever they want then,

there's no need to go to web-cafe anymore.

But my phone

is so small.

The screen's so narrow

and the keyboard's tiny too.

How am I gonna play games on that?

What if there are touch-screen phones in the future?

No need for keyboard then.

And the screen will only get bigger and bigger.

My Mouth bro,

stop daydreaming!

What the hammer are touch screen phones anyway?

Maybe it'll just be called Hammer Phone!

I'll make a bet with you! 1000 yuan!

Deal!

Alright, alright!

Enough fooling around.

My turn.

I think everyone in China

should try Chongqing spicy noodle!

So, I'll open noodle stalls all over China,

even all over the world!

And Chongqing hot pot too!

Right!

But what if people elsewhere can't handle the spice?

Can they handle it?

Humm...

Besides,

will there be business for spicy noodle and hot pot

in other places?

Will there be?

Maybe...?

You have to go open those stalls!

What if people all over China

love Chongqing hot pot by then?

Do you believe it?

I do!

I want to be a diplomat.

The kind who works at embassies abroad.

This way, I can go around the world

and see what other people eat,

what they wear,

what they drink,

and how their life is like.

You'll need to live abroad then?

Maybe...

What if you miss home?

It's not like I'm not coming back.

What if you miss our Doggo then?

She's talking about her dream seriously!

Don't mess with her.

He can come visit me!

Besides, how do you know

if he'll even miss me.

Will you miss her then?

Does our Doggo know English

if he goes to visit you?

I do!

...I can learn.

I'm fine, thanks.

I'm fine.

And you?

And you?

I'm a dog.

I'm a dog.

Dog.

What're you laughing at!

I'm Old Dog.

Hi dog.

I didn't say it!

Whose side are you on?

I'm taking my revenge!

Who hit me just then?

You!

You're still awake too?

You're sweating.

I'm sorry that

the air-con's broken.

It's fine.

Good night.

Good night.

It feels so good.

Doggo,

you said

you'll take me to foot massage.

Is this it?

Yes.

This is it.

I see...

Does it feel good?

Doggo,

the river is really chilly.

I don't think my cold feet

can handle this much longer.

Just let it out

if you've got anything to say.

Alright!

So if Anran...

Uh-huh.

The thing is,

she's going abroad very soon.

But the other thing is, I really don't want to let her go.

So what should l do?

This question...

I don't know either...

Let me ask you some questions then.

If she really went abroad,

would you stop liking her

because of the distance

or the fact that you won't see her for a long time?

Will you keep waiting for her?

At the age of seventeen or eighteen,

one has the chance of making their own decisions

for the first time in their life.

Where one wants to go,

what one wants to study,

what kind of person one wants to become,

whom one wants to fall in love with

and to give their heart

and make effort for.

Yeah.

And then?

And then what?

And then,

wh...what should I do

if Anran's leaving?

Be brave and tell her how you feel!

She's leaving soon,

would it affect her

if I told her?

Affect what?

Even if she's really leaving,

even if you'll be on different sides of the world,

at least there'd be no regret

on the heart of both of you.

Well, it's easier said than done...

And...

And what?

And Wenqin...

You think it's awkward?

It is a bit awkward.

But it'll be fine

if you tell Wenqin how you feel

this time we go to Chengdu.

I was thinking the same...

Doggo, I don't wanna do it anymore.

We promised Wenqin

We'd go visit him in Chengdu!

You forgot?

We can't go empty-handed, can we?

Here,

300 yuan each.

Here you go.

Only 300? We worked our asses off!

Too little for you?

You don't have to take it if you don't want it.

I'll take it, I'll take it.

Brother,

I'm a Tsinghua student.

Give me more, will you?

You're from Tsinghua?

So am I!

You give me a discount then?

Look at you three college students

making money finally!

So we can go to Chengdu now?

Yep!

We'll leave right after the dinner party

tomorrow!

Let's go!

Go!

We're going to Chengdu!

What's the matter with you?

Don't go to Chengdu!

Why not?

You won't see Wenqin even if you went!

He's only out on holiday,

he'll be back some day.

Surely he won't just leave such a big restaurant unattended?

What if he's not coming back for a long time?

He might be out, but his house is still there.

I'll wait for him at his shopfront then.

Wenqin is gone!

What's the matter?

He'll be back.

If it wasn't you last time

I would surely have seen him!

Your bad temper.

Good friends...

Do good friends have to see each other

to be good friends?

Isn't enough for good friends to have each other

in their heart?

What're you talking about?

I don't understand a thing.

Come on!

Why doesn't he let you go to Chengdu?

Because he has sad memories there, obviously.

What're you talking about?

When the two of us were in Chengdu,

Wenqin and Xin were so nice to us.

Why is he being ungrateful and not wanting to visit then?

No idea.

That's strange. Why?

How's Qin doing?

He's doing fine! Lively like a dragon.

Doggo, why do you want to visit Qin in Chengdu this much?

Don't you know how close Qin and I are?

Another thing, it's because of Anran.

Is Anran still in love with Qin?

That's not it.

Doggo and Anran

still have some frictions because of Qin.

I think Anran likes our Doggo.

Where's the friction then?

I haven't opened up my heart to Qin

and told him my feelings for Anran for a long time.

I think

if I open up and tell Qin all about it,

he'll surely be happy for me.

Now I understand.

But Anran is still leaving anyway.

I can only be straightforward with Anran

and tell her that I like her

after I've talked with Qin.

Besides, I'm a man after all.

I don't like to beat around the bush.

That's right.

We support you!

What's the matter with you?

You look so heavy-hearted since you came back.

Me?

Yeah. What's the matter?

What are your feelings

towards Qin

and Doggo?

I used to like Qin.

Now I like Doggo.

You're very outspoken.

But I'm being serious with them both.

I know.

I was also very sad

when Doggo lost his father.

Normally,

it'd be hard to relate to such intense feelings

as losing one's direct family.

But I felt so down

watching Doggo like that.

I only realized then that

Doggo and I were long since like family.

We were there for each other,

and we helped each other through difficult times.

That's why before I leave,

I wanted to go to Chengdu to say goodbye to Qin.

I want to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him

about Doggo,

and about our past.

Anran!

Don't go to Chengdu to find Qin!

Why not?

If you're not here,

there won't be anyone

to go through another hard time with Doggo.

Why does he need to go through another hard time?

Because Qin...

is gone.

Isn't he out on holiday?

Qin...

is never coming back.

On...

Jiaojiao's birthday...

He...

had an accident...

and passed away in my arms...

It's better to cry it out.

Cry if you want.

It'll be better if you cry.

I only realized

after going through this...

There are things

that you just can't change

no matter what you do.

I can't cry yet.

There are things that we can change.

Like what?

I'm thinking of Doggo.

He's just lost his father.

Now his best friend left too.

I have to be stronger,

or who's gonna watch out for Doggo.

Uncle!

Uncle! Are you in?

I'm heading to Chengdu in a few days,

do you have anything you want me to bring to Qin?

Uncle?

Who're you after?

I'm after Liu Wenqin's dad.

Where's he gone?

Liu Wenqin's dead.

Got stabbed in Chengdu.

You know what,

Doggo's making a big deal

dressing up in his room.

He's finally gonna say it to Anran, I feel.

Really?

Absolutely!

It has to be it

whatever anyone says.

That's right.

Anran!

Dressed up so pretty! Who are you looking for?

Where's Doggo?

Are you not with him?

He's not feeling well.

Never mind about him,

come with us.

I'll go find him first.

Doggo.

Anran.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

They said you're sick.

Got me worried.

It's nothing.

I just don't feel like going to Chengdu anymore.

Don't worry about that when you're sick.

Take some rest first.

We can go visit Qin later

when you come back

during holidays, you know.

You're going abroad soon

and have a lot of stuff to take care of.

It wasn't thoughtful of me to want to go to Chengdu now.

That's fine with me

as long as you're not unhappy about it.

I'm afraid you'll be unhappy.

I was also thinking of whether we should go.

So it's just fine, I guess.

By the way,

when are you leaving?

How many days left?

College starts late over there.

I'll leave later to spend more time with you...

That's not good.

You should go earlier

so you'll have time to adapt to the new environment.

You're right...

Ohh,

why don't you go to the dinner party first?

I'll be right there after I get ready.

Alright...

Doggo.

Anran...Why are you still here?

You...you'll see me off at the airport then, won't you?

I'm not sure about that.

We'll need to see on that day.

You're not coming to the graduation dinner party,

and you're unwilling to see me off at the airport too?

No!

I'm going to the graduation dinner party right now.

Let's go.

Come with me!

We'd be really graduated

by the end of this dinner party.

When I saw the school gate before,

all I thought was

when the hell I can escape from here.

But now...

I'm unwilling to leave.

Although it's only been a year,

but it really has been memorable.

So melancholic...

What're you melancholic for?

Can't I be melancholic for graduating?

We still have another year here,

did you forget?

Oh right, we're repeating.

Do you reckon...

Doggo knows something?

I don't think so.

Doggo's so strange today.

He's nervous.

Nervous about what?

What do you think?

I forgot.

Silly!

What's the matter?

Nothing.

What're you thinking of?

I just want to have another look at the school.

We're graduating,

and that reminds me of

many people, many things.

Don't stuff too much in your mind.

Why not?

You'll be happier that way.

Silly, you.

As long as I have those I care about in my heart,

I'll be happy.

But what if one day...

those you care for are all gone?

You're going abroad soon.

My old man...

left me alone.

My mom has her new family.

So I only have you bunch of friends with me.

If I don't stuff my heart with someone...

that'd be so lonely.

We're graduating!

Let's play a game!

We're graduating! Let's play a game!

Let's play a game!

Let's go.

Listen up!

Boys,

find a girl in our class

and open up your heart to her!

Who's first!

I'll go!

Alright, you go first then!

Ding Rongliang!

I'll come visit you every day from now on!

Nope, that won't do!

Why not?

You'd be too tired that way,

That way,

you won't be able to study well!

My Mouth bro!

In the future,

I,

I,

Doggo

and Jiaojiao

and Jiaojiao

will stay in Chongqing.

You need to remember to

be frugal when you move to Beijing!

Because there won't be

another person in this world

who'd believe in you

and buy your

bullshit guide!

You need to look after yourself,

you hear me?

My turn!

I don't really

have any girl in class

that I want to open up to.

But

I'm going to Beijing soon,

and I'll be very far away from you.

My brother Doggo!

My brother Teaty!

You two fools.

You need to learn to be smarter from now on.

There won't be anyone

to be your consultant anymore.

Although

I'm a very lame consultant too.

Jiaojiao!

If Ma Tian's not good to you,

there's no use in calling me.

Distant water won't quench present thirst.

But,

you have to call Doggo and Teaty,

you hear me!

Yes!

Yes!

My turn now!

Li Silin!

We've been classmates for three years.

I like you!

I'll think about it.

Zeng Yali

My...my college is also in Canton!

I know yours is also in Canton!

We...!

We...

We could...

be good friends!

How?

What kind of good friend?

Exactly!

Best...

Best we could be boyfriend and girlfriend,

that kind of good friend!

I like you!

Let's just stay friends.

And me!

Zhu Weijiao!

I lied to you, actually.

When I told you I was out tutoring

those days,

all I did was actually just

standing by the road

being scorched for a few days.

I didn't get any tutoring job,

because I didn't know how to sell myself

or to fight or business.

There was no way

I could've survived in that kind of environment

without you.

Thank you!

Actually, I knew it back then!

But what does it matter?

You don't belong to that kind of place,

and that kind of job doesn't suit you anyway.

You should do what suits you,

and you'd be so good at them too!

No matter what we do in the future,

days you taught me to sell on the street

are the happiest day of my life!

Me too!

Doesn't matter if you're Zhu Weijiao or He Baorong!

Doesn't matter if you're Li Yaohui or Ma Tian!

Hug! Hug! Hug!

Your turn, Doggo!

Right!

Doggo! Doggo! Doggo!

Li Anran!

If it wasn't for you,

I would never have become a college student.

If it wasn't for you,

I don't know if my old man will see the day...

If it wasn't for you, I...

I want to tell you...

Say it! Say it!

What's the matter with him!

- Say it! - Tell her!

Tell her you like her!

Tell her if you do!

I can only say to you...

"The bird is free to fly as high up as the sky goes,

the fish is free to leap

as far as the ocean flows".

What's he talking about?

Why's he saying that?

What does he mean?

So strange.

Say it!

Don't come down!

Tu Jun!

You're the most lazy,

the most shameless,

the most careless deskmate

with the least grades I've ever had!

But I still have to thank you.

Thanks for being there with me quietly all this time.

I learned a lot from you in this time.

After I leave,

if you ever encounter another heavy blow of life,

you have to remember how we

went through those time together

and how we were there for each other

so you won't just hit rock bottom whenever you want!

And,

I like you!

I like you as a classmate,

I like you as a deskmate,

I also like you from the bottom of my heart

the way one likes someone at seventeen or eighteen!

I like you.

How about you?

Go up!

Doggo! Where are you going?

Oh Lord,

why are you fooling me like this?

Qin,

Anran says

she likes me.

I've been in love with her for so long.

I've been in love with her for this long.

But why have you left now?

My most beloved one

now becomes the one

I don't know how to face the most.

What more can I tell her

apart from she should pursue her future

like birds in the sky and fish in the ocean?

What more can I say?

You tell me!

Doggo.

Doggo.

Doggo?

What's this?

My old man's left.

Qin's left too.

But don't worry about me.

I just don't know what to do.

I don't know how to save them.

I don't know how to fare them well either.

But I don't want to sit around sobbing.

So I'll go out for a run by myself.

Doggo!

Let me have some of yours.

Don't touch me!

Piss off.

I wonder how Anran's doing.

Must be doing well.

What?

Miss her now?

You know she's leaving very soon,

but you're here pretending to be cool,

running the street by yourself

and eating fast noodle here.

It's daybreak. Morning's here.

Get up, let's go.

We still have roads ahead.

C'mon, let's go.

Hurry up, hurry up!

Hurry up, let's go!

Come on, let's run!

I'm so tired.

Hercules Jiao,

should we

send you to the station first?

You can go home first.

No!

There aren't many chances to be crazy in life!

- Let's go. - Let's go!

C'mon!

Let's go!

My Mouth bro, this is a bit impulsive, isn't it?

I'm leaving this town very soon anyway.

I'm going to college very soon anyway.

Thank you, thank you!

Thank you for your applause!

Thank you!

I don't hear enough applause!

Although we only dated online,

although there was nothing really between us,

although I'm looking very stupid

and foolish

and making a complete fool out of myself.

Although nothing was real,

although it was a fleeting moment,

Coco,

you were the damn youth of mine!

Aunty!

Hi, Aunty.

Do you know where

Aunt Zhang Qingying lives?

Who are you to her?

I'm like his adopted son, sort of.

I'm here to visit her.

It's right down there.

Thank you aunty!

Thank you!

Junjun?

Why are you here?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mom!

I'm a college student now!

I've never blamed you!

I wish you happiness!

Let's go.

Let's go!

This is my brother Qin's noodle?

Yep.

That's his noodle.

Never changed the ingredients.

It's too spicy!

I was very sad.

I didn't know how to live on.

But as I thought it through,

there wasn't any regret, actually.

When Qin was here,

both of us worked hard

and we had the most happy and content life.

We never let each other down,

nor did we ever hurt each other.

So,

it doesn't seem to be

that important

whether we had long life together or a short one.

What do you think?

It's 26th August today,

The Grand Final of Super Girl!

I thought you stopped caring for this long time ago.

I want to see who's the champion, at least.

Li Yuchun.

It's really her who got the champion?

So there are people who like girls like me!

Why else do you think

we only hang out with you all these years?

Exactly!

It's not like you're the only girl in Daxing village!

You're very cute, actually.

Alright, don't cry now.

I thought only girls like Li Anran

will be liked by people.

Only girls like Li Anran

are the standards for being a girl.

Who said that?

If there are people who like Li Anran,

there're also people who like you, Zhu Weijiao.

For example, me, Ma Tian!

You don't need to change anything,

because in my heart,

you are

the annual champion of Super Girl!

You're just my type!

Our life have just started.

What kind of people will we become?

Where should we go in the future?

Who would we be with?

No idea.

Growing up is so difficult.

Embarrassing ourselves before people,

saying goodbye to friends, alive and dead.

Doing all kinds of stupid stuff.

There's so much we have to go through.

Does every one go through these,

or is it just us?

No idea.

I'm exhausted,

but still I have to say,

the past few days have been

the happiest days of my life.

Why?

One day,

we might be miles apart.

We might not see each other for a long time.

We might all have our own life.

We'll never have

friends like us

who grew up together.

Do you think

Anran's flight tomorrow

will also fly above our heads like this?

So you still remember it's tomorrow.

Are you really not gonna see her off?

Since Qin passed away,

I really don't know how to face her.

Actually,

she knew about it before you did.

She's the first one

to know of this

after I came back.

You're saying...

she knew about it long ago...?

She didn't choose to escape.

She pretends to be okay

whilst being heartbroken on the inside,

especially when facing you.

I learned one thing

from Anran.

As we farewell

those we love,

we should cherish those we love

who're still with us even more.

We should be more grateful for

every single day that they're still here.

And not to be like you,

to run away,

to escape.

After all,

we are all born for love.

I can't hold it anymore.

So well said, you!

That's right!

We're all born for love!

My old man lied to me!

We were not born to say goodbye.

We were born for love!

Doggo? Doggo!

I don't know why Forrest Gump

kept running and running.

But I think,

flying is for being able to land,

drifting is for being able to dock.

Running on a long road

is for being able to

stop in the end

and to look at the thing one loves

without any hesitation or fear.

I heard your monologue.

Did you find the answer then?

Li Anran,

I love you!

Not just as a deskmate,

not just as a classmate,

I like you from the bottom of my heart

the way one likes someone at seventeen or eighteen!

I don't care how the director shoots it,

I don't care how the scriptwriter writes it,

I don't care

if your parents agree or not.

If the scriptwriter doesn't let us be together this season,

I'll make him write and write and write,

until he's

exhausted one day!

We are sure to be together!

Li Anran,

We are sure to be together!

We Are Born for Love.
