[Blue Canvas of Youthful Days]

[Episode 1: The You I Met Was Blue]

Why do you draw me just because I draw you?

Copycat.

What did you call me?

Boyfriend.

What?

Big fool.

Don't.

Don't.

Xiao. Xiao.

I was wrong.

You really are the same as when I first met you.

What impression did you have of me when you first met me?

Annoying.

Arrogant.

At that time, I thought you were really annoying

and you'd better stay away from me.

Let me tell you.

That was not the first time we met.

Are you going to draw or not?

Yes.

When did you first meet me?

That day, right after the award ceremony at the Art Group Exhibition,

my dad picked me up.

Our car was just blocked on the street near Boyi.

I think you were being chased.

You happened to be stuck next to our car.

Do you remember?

I could see you through the car window.

But you couldn't see me.

The distance between us

was that close.

Yes, I just picked him up.

That's it for the promotion.

We'll be there soon.

Thank you, Zhang.

[Asian Youth Artists Exhibition 2017] [Third prize]

Okay.

I arranged an interview with an official account for you later.

This time, both your teachers and I

are very happy about the award.

During the interview, make sure to express your gratitude

to the teachers and professors

who taught you before.

I'll ask Li to send you the draft later.

Okay, Dad.

Stop!

Over there! Go!

Stop!

Go!

Stop!

At the end of 2017,

another good news came.

Qi Lu from No. 1 High School,

[Notes] [Favorites]

just won the third prize

and the Best Collector's Value Award

at the Asian Youth Artists Exhibition.

You only read some low-grade stuff every day.

I still have a social event later.

After the interview, let the driver take you back.

Okay, Dad.

[Half-day Leisure]

[Half-day Leisure]

So for this award,

I also want to thank the teachers for their guidance in my art journey.

[Asian Youth Artists Exhibition 2017] [Third prize]

So, Qi, your family

can be considered an artistic family.

My father founded

the Qingshi Art Museum when I was very young.

Most of my childhood

was spent there.

When I was with my father,

I got to watch excellent works

and learn from excellent artists.

To me, my father is my role model.

Qi, what kind of inspiration did you have

to create

such a lively piece of work?

Hello, are you there?

May I ask if your paintings are for sale?

My father taught me to observe life since I was young.

He often said

that art is derived from life.

He often took the time to accompany me on outdoor sketching trips,

accumulating material for creation.

The initial draft of this painting was just a quick sketch.

I heard that your mother is also a painter.

How has she influenced you?

My mother was indeed an excellent painter.

She left behind many works when she was alive.

After she passed away, my father collected these works

as part of the Qingshi Art Museum's collection.

Although she left early,

both she and my father hoped that I would pursue a path in art.

[Hello, are you there? May I ask if your paintings are for sale?]

[Tianle Grocery]

It's nothing.

I just got a scam message

on my phone.

Dad.

What did you tell the reporters today?

I'm asking you!

Dad.

I'm sorry.

Dad, I was wrong.

Why did you mention her?

Useless!

Because the time when she abandoned you has passed?

You still call her mom?

You still call her mom?

You still call her mom?

Say something.

Say something.

Why did you call her mom?

She's a bitch.

She's a slut.

She let us down.

She let you down.

Then why did you mention her?

Why did you call her mom?

Tell me.

[Tianle Grocery]

How's the art studio? Is Yang nice to you?

He does take care of me.

And his paintings

are awesome.

But I'm still worried

about going to the studio

because Grandpa…

It's okay. I'm here.

The thing that makes Grandpa happiest is you getting into college.

Alright.

I've signed up for the college entrance exam.

Don't worry about me.

Go eat.

If I don't keep an eye on you two,

who knows how long you’d play?

I'll look after the shop.

Don't go out.

Just sit here and watch TV.

Okay.

Or Tan and I will go out to look for you in the middle of the night.

Got it.

Got it.

Stop nagging. Go eat.

Sir.

How much is the beer?

Sir.

You money-grubber.

You're always busy counting money when you can't go out.

What do you know?

When you get old and senile,

you'll only know how to tear paper.

Counting money

might not be…

You’re half a foot in the grave,

and you're still busy counting money.

Qin Xiao is taking the college entrance exam this year.

Next year, I’ll accompany him to college.

How can I not save some money?

It’s that Jiyi Art Studio.

Everything is arranged for you.

I’ll be on a business trip for a month.

If anything comes up, just go to Uncle Zhang.

If you need money, just go to Secretary Zhang.

When dealing with people and matters outside,

always think before you speak and act.

Be careful not to break it.

Are you new? Haven’t checked in yet?

You’re the kid who won the award at the Asian Youth Exhibition recently, right?

Your name is Qi...

Qi Lu.

Yes, Qi Lu.

Come on.

Let's talk in my office.

Sit.

Are you here today to learn about the training camp?

Did your parents not come?

Joining the training camp now doesn't leave much time.

Are you Uncle Zhang?

I've always heard from my dad

that your studio produces top students who get admitted to various colleges every year.

So my dad arranged me here before the exam.

I have some basics, so I shouldn't fall behind.

My dad said I might trouble you in the coming days.

Thank you very much.

You’re talking about Zhang’s studio, right?

Their Jiyi Studio

is accessed from that door.

Our studio

is called Boyi.

Sorry, Sir.

I must have come to the wrong place.

Sorry for taking up your time.

It's okay.

I saw your painting on the official account yesterday.

You did a good job.

If you're not satisfied after going to Zhang’s,

you can consider us.

We offer discounts for top talents.

My name is Liu Mingyang.

The students here call me Liu.

Nice meeting you, Mr. Liu.

I’ll be leaving then.

By the way, Mr. Liu,

are those paintings outside done by your students?

Yes.

We focus a lot on sketching.

A lot of sketch practice helps students better control shapes.

Can I meet the student who painted that piece?

I like his style.

Which one?

It's outside.

[Wei Jiayu]

[Wei Jiayu]

[Academic Office]

Wei Jiayu! Qin Xiao!

Come to my office!

Here, Turtle.

Look.

How many marks?

90.

90.

How dare you

sign your name on a 90-point sketch, you brat?

Qin Xiao.

It is my painting.

Why?

I took the money.

I was wrong.

Fine.

This week, you two will be in charge of cleaning the toilets.

You like substituting, huh?

Go substitute for the cleaning lady then.

Turtle.

This test’s score is void.

I won’t hold it against you this time.

Don't let me

catch you again.

Go.

Go back to painting.

Sorry about that.

It’s an internal disgrace.

I'm sorry about that.

Actually, we are usually quite strict here.

Mr. Liu.

Can students attend your studio without staying overnight?

[Li Linhan, Central Academy of Fine Arts, 20th Place]

[Academic Office]

What’s going on?

How did Liu know?

He's not blind.

You can fool the assistant teacher.

Liu can tell at a glance whose work it is.

There needs to be an explanation.

You can’t take the money and leave me to clean the toilets.

What's with that look?

[Academic Office]

Just because you have some basics,

and Liu considers you a favorite,

you think you're somebody?

What do you want?

Anything is fine.

Give back the money.

I’ll transfer it back to you later.

Okay?

Okay?

Will that be okay?

[Academic Office]

You think...

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Mr. Liu only found out about the painting because I asked him.

So it’s my responsibility.

I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow.

I'll clean the toilets.

If there's nothing else,

I'm leaving.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I think you like James.

My dad’s friend in the U.S.

got his new release.

Consider it my apology.

Let’s put this behind us.

Who the hell do you think you're bribing?

Yeah.

Do you think Turtle

can be bought with money?

Which generation

did you say just now?

Are you here to cause trouble?

Don't you want to know who dares to come here to cause trouble?

Who are you trying to be tough with?

I'm already in a bad mood today.

We're all with Wu.

Why don't you ask Wu if he's okay with you causing trouble here?

That's enough.

[Public phone]

That's enough.

[Public phone]

All right, go back.

Will Wu...

[Attract Wealth, Welcome Guests]

[Tianle Grocery]

It’s okay.

[Attract Wealth, Welcome Guests]

Wu definitely didn't send them to cause trouble.

[Tianle Grocery]

We've known each other for years.

Fine.

Call us if you need anything.

[Public phone]

Didn't I tell you?

Call me if anything happens.

Those two bullied Tan Yin.

They wanted to leave without paying.

I didn't even have time to call you.

And you just came back.

From now on,

if there are

any orders...

At that time, I just thought he was a strange-tempered person.

His temperament was very different from his paintings.

What's with that look?

[Academic Office]

I owe Lan an apology.

But I don't dare say it to someone like him directly.

If it really is him,

if I could become friends with him,

it would be much easier to speak up.

Life here is quite convenient.

And it's a newly renovated and built neighborhood.

It's just a bit close to the city village.

But for a boy living alone, it's no problem.

It doesn't look good.

This house used to be a guesthouse.

It's already one of the best-renovated

and conditioned places in this area.

If you want to live near this area,

there are no better options.

Alright, let's sign the contract then.

Okay.

[Qi]

I'm leaving now.

Report your situation.

I've already enrolled in Uncle Zhang's studio.

Sketch class is from 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.

The dormitory is a four-person room.

Don't make any more mistakes.

You have a new order. Please check.

I'm delivering to the second floor next door.

It's you?

Here’s what you asked for.

What's wrong?

My stomach is acting up.

It's an old problem.

Can you help me inside to rest for a while?

Do you have medicine?

Yes.

But I need to eat before taking it.

I haven't eaten anything today.

What do you want to eat?

I'll go buy something for you.

No need.

I just bought a pot.

Can you cook some noodles for me?

You’re not holding back, are you?

What?

Do you want me to feed you too?

That would be great.

I think you've recovered.

Take the medicine later.

I'm leaving.

You can deliver goods to me.

Is is because your shop is close-by?

How about you cook for me from now on too?

I'll pay you.

What are you thinking?

How's the studio I recommended?

Not bad.

How did you know Liu?

Don't drink it.

Don't drink it.

I can't hear you.

There's something

in your drink.

Don't drink it.

You know sign language?

Let's go. I'll take you home.

[Public phone]

[Public phone]

Oh, that night.

So Liu treats you well.

But he treats me like an older brother treats a younger brother.

[Single Room for Rent]

[Supermarket]

I feel really down.

Liu is just like that.

[House for Rent]

He's a warm-hearted person.

He's nice

to everyone.

Qin Xiao!

Come to my office!

It is my painting.

[Attract Wealth, Welcome Guests]

What do you want?

Do you have drawing paper?

What paper?

Qin Xiao.

No need.

The money has been transferred.
