I...

Just answered a call for you.

Grandpa had an accident.

Our Qin Xiao is taking the

university entrance exam this year.

Next year, I'll go with him.

How can I not save money?

This kid

is named Qin Xiao, right?

He also has a grandpa with Alzheimer's.

Grandpa Qin!

Oh no!

Do you know how scared I was

when I heard you went missing?

Can't you just let me worry less?

- Stop scaring Grandpa. - Don't you dare touch me!

Our Qin Xiao has been very

capable since he was young.

When his grandma

was sick a few years ago,

he ran around taking care of things,

cooking by himself.

"Blue Canvas of Youthful Days"

(Episode 11: No One's Baggage Is Light)

How is he?

He hasn't eaten or come out.

Brother Xiao...

Eat something, okay?

I'm fine.

This isn't the time...

For you to fall apart.

Qi Lu...

I don't have a home anymore.

How could I leave him alone at home?

I'm such a bastard.

- I'm a bastard! - No.

Brother Xiao.

When he passed away alone...

How scared he must have been.

I didn't even get to see him

one last time.

Why?

Why?

Even though there is

only half a year left.

He didn't even wait for me

to take proper care of him.

I didn't take good care of him.

That's enough.

Grandpa wouldn't want

to see you like this.

His biggest wish was for you

to get into university.

He always believed in you.

Qi Lu...

Everyone who cared for me is gone.

I won't leave.

Brother Xiao.

I won't leave you.

From now on, for the two of us,

there's still a long road ahead.

Why did you do this?

You promised me.

Who gave you permission

to come in without knocking?

Why did you send those photos?

Kneel down!

You promised me you wouldn't hurt him!

Do you think I'm just a coward

who's been beaten all my life?

That I wouldn't fight back?

I've already agreed to

everything you wanted.

Why did you still do this?

If you didn't do those things,

how could the photos exist?

Xiao Lu.

Does Qin Xiao's grandpa care about

the photos or the person in them?

Xiao Lu.

I have hated disrespectful children

since you were little.

In an exam room,

with so many test papers,

candidate identification sheets...

Some get mysteriously smudged,

dirtied,

or become unscannable.

How many do you think there could be?

Dad...

Xiao Lu...

You've made me feel...

like I've failed in raising you.

Dad...

I was wrong.

Please, let him go.

I was wrong, Dad.

Not listening and messing around!

How did I raise you like this?

You even dared to fight back?

Useless scum! Ungrateful child!

Are you leaving?

Lao Liu isn't coming to pick you up?

The teachers are in a meeting.

Xiao Tan, thank you so much for

all your help recently.

Thank you.

No problem.

Take care of yourself.

I'll walk you to the main road.

By the way,

did you hear that Brother Wu's

fake medicine business got busted?

Brother Wu's place?

Lately, his people have been

hanging around the area.

It's strange.

What did you see that day?

This little shabby shop of yours,

do you believe I can make sure

you can't keep it running?

How about I make you some more food?

Won't eating this upset your stomach?

It's not big deal.

If I could cook, I'd have

made it for you already.

Why'd you come over all of a sudden?

Didn't even send a WeChat message.

I was just a little worried about you.

Is that senior of yours

still around?

Lao Bai?

He went back to Beijing after filming.

Seems like something happened

at that place.

The person he was filming,

was their workplace at the house

on the far east side?

How do you know that?

Oh, right.

Let me show you what we filmed.

Lao Bai did a rough cut.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

It's fine.

Why didn't you tell me?

I just didn't want you hearing

about these messy things again.

What's the cause this time?

Well...

He got a bit mad when he found out

I was staying outside.

Really, it's nothing.

Let's move to the art studio.

You won't have to keep running around.

I was even thinking about

moving in with you.

I've already brought my stuff over.

Let's move to the art studio.

It'll be more convenient for me

to take extra classes.

Sure.

Let's leave tonight.

Why so sudden?

Brother Xiao.

Did you prepare this?

I was worried you wouldn't

be used to the food here.

You go draw first.

I'll take care of cleaning up.

It's fine.

There's no rush today.

Come here.

Why so harsh this time?

It's fine. Go draw. Don't waste time.

Aren't you going?

I'll study some English in a bit.

My mom wants me to take

the IELTS after the joint exams.

- You should hurry up. - Okay.

In an exam room,

with so many test papers,

candidate identification sheets...

Some get mysteriously smudged,

dirtied,

or become unscannable.

How many do you think there could be?

I'm giving you one month.

After your joint exams,

After that, I'll send you to Russia

to study at the preparatory course

at Repin Academy.

If you want him to finish

his schooling in peace,

the two of you must stop

contacting each other.

It's already 1 a.m.

Staying up like this is bad for you.

Everyone else in the dorm

is pulling all-nighters too.

Instead of adding details

to your drawings now,

Why not make a lot of drafts?

Focus on practicing coloring.

For the same photo,

try both warm and cool tones.

Makes sense. Long-term projects

feel satisfying to work on,

but they're not very

helpful at this stage.

I need to speed up.

What are you doing?

Teacher Qi has already passed on

his 15 years of artistic skills to you.

If you can't figure it out now,

there's nothing more I can do.

Hurry up and eat.

Look. Do you think this looks good?

It looks good.

I got a job as an assistant chef

in a bar.

At night?

Yeah.

Is that okay?

Then I'll pick you up after

work at night from now on.

And I'll take you to work

during the day.

Okay.

Your package is at the door.

Wait for me.

So it's like this.

- It's beautiful. - Mhm.

Let's find a place to set it up.

What are you looking at?

It's beautiful.

These were drawn three years ago.

This year, we created this.

What's next?

Nothing.

Why?

You've met my mom, haven't you?

Three years ago,

I had the chance to hold

my first solo exhibition.

Right before the opening,

Yangyang got into an accident.

My mom has always blamed me.

You can't be blamed.

Don't blame yourself.

Come in and talk.

Do you have the same feelings

for Yangyang?

Mom.

He and Yangyang are different people.

Why can't you let go of this?

If it weren't for him

resembling Yangyang,

I wouldn't care who

you're involved with.

It wouldn't matter to me at all.

How can you think like this?

How dare you think of Yangyang this way?

- I didn't! - It's not like that.

I'm not like him.

Xiao Tan, you should leave first.

He's already in so much pain

every single day.

You can't keep tormenting him

just because you're suffering.

What does this have to do with you?

He shouldn't think of his

younger brother like that.

He didn't.

He knows exactly who he likes!

You need to move on.

Let him go!

Both of us will never forgive you.

At the accident site,

they returned his phone to me.

His last call was to me.

After that day,

whenever I create something,

I think about that day three years ago.

It will pass.

With time, everything will pass.

Xiao Tan.

After work, be my model.

You're creating something new?

Mhm.

It's time to move on.

Mom can't do it.

But I can.
