"Blue Canvas of Youthful Days"

(Episode 10: Seven Secrets)

Study filmmaking?

Go for it, Qi Lu.

Like you said,

we should do what we love.

Love who we want to love.

Go get ready.

For what?

Studying abroad.

Learning the language,

preparing your portfolio.

It's all pretty busy, right?

It won't be in time for the

university entrance exam.

Students!

Let's draw for one more hour today!

Won't that solve one more problem?

- Yes! - Right?

Yes!

As long as we don't drop dead,

we keep drawing!

As long as we don't drop dead,

we keep drawing!

Yay!

No need to bring breakfast today,

I fell asleep yesterday.

Let's go to the cafeteria

together later.

Dad.

Dad.

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

Why are you admitting fault?

Is it because you did those

disgusting things outside?

Or because you knew she came

and didn't tell me?

Dad.

I didn't expect

and didn't expect something unexpected.

When did you start contacting her?

Speak!

Dad...

Don't hit my face.

Other people will notice.

You think you're all grown up now?

One day, you'll grow old.

And you'll need me.

That boy,

Qin Xiao, right?

He's taking exams this year.

If he fails the unified exam,

he would be out of options for

university exams, right?

He also has a grandfather.

Alzheimer's.

And serious coronary heart disease.

Don't you think his grandfather

has the right to know

about these photos?

Dad,

I was wrong.

I was the one who approached him.

- Don't involve him. - Get on your knees.

Why did you lie to me?

Did I tell you to lie?

Huh? Did I?

Did I tell you to lie?

Why did you contact her?

Why did you reach out to her?

Xiao Lu,

I've worked so hard to raise you,

and you dare to do such

disgusting things outside?

Out there,

why were you so careless?

Dad, I was wrong.

I'll do whatever you say.

Then tell me,

when you met that woman,

what did she say to you?

She said she'd take me abroad.

Take me to find her.

I'll make her realize

the decision she made was a mistake.

I raised her to the top back then,

and in a few years,

I'll raise you to the same height!

Dad...

Do you really care about her?

Xiao Lu,

you and her are Dad's greatest works.

Dad,

I have one condition.

Speak.

If Qin Xiao can't finish

his exams smoothly,

I will leave with her.

Even if I die out there,

I won't come back.

In that case,

all your “works” will be ruined.

I'll give you one month.

Both of you finish the unified exams.

Even if you're not ashamed of

the teacher who taught you.

After that, I'll send you to Russia

to study in Repin's preparatory school.

My best friend is there.

If you want him to finish

his schooling in peace,

the two of you must stop

contacting each other.

Yes.

Hello, Mom.

Do you have time?

I want to meet and talk with you.

At the same café as last time.

Why aren't you here yet?

(Haha, my mom suddenly said she'd take me to ask about going abroad)

Mom...

I'm sorry.

Xiao Lu, Mom doesn't blame you.

It's my fault for

not protecting you well.

I'm already on my way to the airport.

I'm leaving tonight.

Whenever you're ready to leave,

I'll come and take you away.

I agreed to all his demands,

just hoping Qin Xiao can pass his exams.

For the first time, I realized

I can't control life.

I don't even have the power

to protect the one I love.

I'll give you half a month.

Once the exams are over,

Dad will send you abroad to study.

Thank you, Dad.

Wow. You're up so early.

What's the occasion, Young Master?

Just bringing warmth to a test-taker.

Now that I don't have exam pressure,

I've to take good care of my boyfriend.

I'll bring you breakfast every day.

Yeah, right.

Who's always late to the studio?

If I didn't call,

you'd sleep past 3 p.m.

Brother Xiao, even though I don't

need to go to the studio daily,

I can still go to and

from school with you.

No need.

Don't you still have that

documentary project with Senior Bai?

That's just a hobby.

Of course, it's not as important as you.

Brother Wu,

that sneaky guy from the other day

seems like he is close

to that child in the Qin family.

So I won't be participating in

the art university entrance exams.

After the exams,

my dad will send me abroad.

Thank you for taking care of me

during this time, Teacher Liu.

That's a bit of a pity.

But you have your path.

It's a good thing too.

I'll still take the unified exams.

I'll get the top score for you.

You...

Learned to boast shamelessly

from that Qin Xiao.

Have some tea.

Do you need help

reporting to the police?

I was careless.

About you going abroad...

Is it really what you want?

My dad knows now.

At this point,

I don't want to affect

his exam preparation.

Besides, going abroad for me

is also a pretty good choice.

Alright then.

If you want to keep your skills

sharp during this time,

feel free to come back to

the studio anytime.

Thank you, Teacher Liu.

In a couple of days, are you going

directly to their hideout?

Brother Li has already agreed.

He'll let us in to film.

But he's just an underling.

I haven't decided yet.

It seems like we haven't met

anyone actually in charge.

Not knowing what they're thinking

makes it pretty unsafe.

Be careful.

It's fine.

Worst case, you finish filming and

head straight back to Beijing.

Alright, I'm heading out now.

Qin Xiao lives nearby, I'll go find him.

Go ahead.

Spend as much time as you can

before going abroad.

Alright, see you.

Qin Xiao.

And you are...?

Grandpa, I'm Qin Xiao's classmate,

- I'm... - Oh,

you're Xiao Qi, right?

You still remember me?

Come in and wait,

I'll cook for you in a bit.

- Sure. - Hey.

Xiao Tan is at home. Go play with him.

Got it, Grandpa.

Uncle Qin, you've got a package here.

Coming!

It's you, right?

Huh?

With Qin Xiao.

Grandpa's still here.

I asked him who it was,

but he wouldn't say.

Qin Xiao won't be back for a bit.

He's still doing extra

classes at this hour?

When he comes back,

he still needs to draw. Stays up late.

Grandpa,

let's eat first.

I already saved Qin Xiao's portion.

He'll be back late,

and I'll work on assignments with him.

Alright, alright, sure.

Let's eat.

Why are you here?

Where's Grandpa and Xiao Tan?

They've both gone to bed.

Why are you back so late?

I'll heat up some food for you.

I'm exhausted. Lao Liu was crazy

with the practice today.

Let me give you a massage.

Are you sure you can do it?

Don't you know that all art students

are masters of massage?

Hurry and eat.

Have you lost weight?

Must be from all the late nights lately.

Suddenly, everyone's pushing

themselves so hard.

Your hands even have calluses now.

Are you going back tonight?

Then...

Maybe I won't be going back tonight.

Is the studio off tomorrow?

Be careful.

Grandpa's still around.

What did your mom say?

She said I should finish

the unified exam first.

The day after the exam,

she's arranged for me to meet

a portfolio teacher in Beijing.

The schedule's really tight.

I might have to leave

the same day as the exam.

I'll need to stay in

Beijing for a while.

Oh.

I'll need to take a language test, too.

Leaving right after the exam?

So many things to prepare.

I was hoping we could hang out

for a day after the exams.

Yeah.

We haven't even traveled together yet.

There are still so many things

we haven't done together.

After the exams, let's do

everything we've wanted to do.

Alright.

Let's get some sleep.

I'll grab some pajamas for you.

No. Just sleep like this.

I don't want to change.

It's uncomfortable sleeping like that.

I don't want to get up to change.

It's fine like this.

Stop hiding it.

I saw it earlier.

It's okay.

It's all in the past now.

Once the exams are over,

you'll be free from him for good.

Why are you up so early?

It's not early.

Grandpa already went downstairs

to the store.

Still calculating the exam schedule?

You don't need those scores anymore.

Can't I be nervous?

I even promised Lao Liu

I'd get the top spot.

Top spot? You barely

show up at the studio these days.

Fine, top spot in the neighborhood then.

You're really nervous?

Yes.

Let's go out and have fun.

It's our last studio break.

Let's take a trip.

But it's only two days.

Do we have enough time?

We'll leave this afternoon,

spend the night, and come back tomorrow.

Let's go somewhere nearby, okay?

How about the place we went

for our last sketching trip?

Relive old love memories?

What old love memories?

So I'm just an old love memory

to you now?

Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing.

I'll head to the studio and pack up.

You go home and get your stuff ready.

Meet me this afternoon,

and we'll head out.

Yeah.

Hello, Teacher Liu.

Why are you back all of a sudden today?

I'm waiting for Qin Xiao.

We're heading out for a sketching trip.

Alright. Be careful out there.

Are your arms better now?

They're fine. Nothing to worry about.

The exams are coming up soon.

Take care of your hands.

No more basketball, hiking,

or any risky activities.

- Okay, Teacher Liu. - Then

- we're heading out now. - Ah.

Alright.

Hey.

Hey.

What's wrong? Are you mad?

Don't ignore me.

Hey!

You can't just shut down every time

you're upset and refuse to listen.

What do you think?

I'm a teacher.

I'm not supposed to reveal too much

of my personal life to my students.

There are personal matters

I don't want them to know about.

I don't think there's anything

wrong with that.

Do you think I'm embarrassing?

No, I don't.

I've never thought that.

We just haven't properly

talked about this.

We each have our own ways of living

and our own perspectives.

But that doesn't mean I'm ashamed

of you or that I don't want you

to meet my friends.

But with Qi Lu, you did exactly that.

I've explained this before.

Qi Lu is my student.

My only concern is with my students.

I'm a teacher.

Every word and action of mine

could influence them.

That's why I want to keep

my personal life and my work separate.

Can you understand that?

Come on, don't be mad anymore.

Let's go grab something delicious, okay?

No.

You've been saying I haven't spent

enough time with you lately.

How about I take you to the zoo?

- No. - Yes.

Yes.

Why are you sitting on the other side?

Don't you want to sit together?

I'm happy sitting alone.

Happy sitting alone, huh?

Then I'll leave.

Go ahead, leave then.

Would you dare let me jump off?

Guess whether I dare or not.

Don't be mad.

I'm not mad.

Really?

I'm not mad.

How could I ever be mad at Xiao Tan?

The wind is so strong.

Xiao Tan, protect me.

- Huh? - Need Xiao Tan's protection.

Beg me for it.

Beg.

Actually, I'm afraid of heights.

Really?

Nope, just kidding.

It's my first time on a Ferris wheel.

Don't worry, I'm here with you.

Look over there, is that

Qin Xiao and Qi Lu's house?

You really care about them.

They're my students.

I'm a teacher. What's wrong with

being concerned about them?

- Really? - Of course.

I don't believe you.

You treat them so well.

I'm their teacher.

It's normal to care about my students.

I saw this online before,

thought it was cute,

so I bought it.

What's with that look on your face?

Are you laughing at me?

You're not laughing at me?

You're really not?

You're not ticklish?

No.

You're not ticklish?

Nope.

I don't believe it.

Xiao Tan.

Why don't you move in and live with me?

After Qin Xiao's exams, okay?

Otherwise, if I move out...

Grandpa won't have anyone

to take care of him.

Alright.

After the art exams,

I'll move in with you.

Then you'll have to pay Qin Xiao's rent.

Why are you siding with him

and not with me?

Siding with my brother.

Side with me.

Grandpa, I'll be out tonight.

Xiao Tan also has plans tomorrow.

We can close the store for the day.

Don't go out.

How much longer until sunrise?

Didn't you check the guide?

Let me check.

I can't, I'm really too tired to walk.

We're here, look over there!

Let's wait.

The waiting is the hardest part.

You've got a point.

Look, it's here!

Good luck on the exams!

Good luck on the exams!

In one year,

we'll get into the same university!

We'll both...

Do what we love!

And love who we want to love!

Qin Xiao...

Maybe someday after the exams,

You'll blame me for lying

to you again and again.

But in the future...

You must be happy and joyful.

Pursue what you love the most.

No one can stop you...

Not even me

or my love.

I...

Just answered a call for you.

I...

Just answered a call for you.

Grandpa had an accident.
