"Blue Canvas of Youthful Days"

(Episode 5: You sent me the most distant white in winter)

Why?

Why exactly were you angry today?

It must have something

to do with Turtle.

Why did you come?

Breakfast delivery.

Still mad?

Why are you angry?

What is there to be angry about?

Just because I chatted with Sun Xiaorui?

Figure it out yourself.

Come on, Teacher Qi.

At least give me a hint.

Well, it was so cold,

I waited for you for so long,

my hands were frozen stiff,

couldn't even draw.

Insisting on doing outdoor sketching

in the dead of winter.

Got it.

That's what it was, right?

Alright, alright.

Hurry up and head to the studio.

If we're late, Lao Liu

will scold us again.

Also, here, this is for you.

If it feels like you're not getting it.

Start by copying some good stuff.

All the still life sketches of apples

from the teaching assistants won't help.

The whole class has poisoned apples

like Turtle's.

Let's go.

Go.

Even though it's color,

the black, white, and gray relationships

are the same as in sketching.

Remember, brushstrokes follow the form,

not just scribbling randomly.

Whoa.

Isn't this book out of print?

Qi Lu lent it to me.

There's a reprint out.

But this one is older.

Listen up, everyone.

Sometimes, when you don't know

how to draw something,

start by copying.

Not bad, Teacher Qi.

- First learn what's good. - Do you get tips for tutoring?

Sure do.

What does Teacher Qi like?

And you have skills. Got it?

I need to go home at lunch

to get something.

It's heavy. Help me carry it.

Alright, no problem.

Easy.

Where's this? Your house?

Sort of. It's my dad's place.

Your dad's place is your home, right?

A lot of art supplies are in my room.

Let's go up and grab them together.

Sure.

Over here, here, here.

Watch your step.

Here.

Whoa. So much stuff.

Give it a try. Really.

Different materials.

Different quality of pictures.

And different oils, too.

They create a lot of options

to experiment with.

Look at this.

I drew this with charcoal before.

Then I applied a layer of damar resin.

Added a bit of a smudging effect.

It really changes the effect.

And this one,

this is done with pastels.

I prepared a canvas with

texture before using it.

Added a textured base layer.

Then applied color.

It's just that it doesn't set well.

Anyway, it's just sitting here.

Help me take it back.

We can use it together.

Well, alright.

What time is it?

It's noon.

There's still over an hour

before class starts.

Let's sit for a bit then.

I ordered delivery,

let's just eat here.

Alright.

Since we're here,

let's watch a movie together.

There's a projector at home.

Sit down.

Why are you just standing there?

I should head back.

Shh.

My dad's back.

Don't move.

Who is it?

My dad.

Why are you scared of your dad?

I'm afraid he'll think I skipped class.

Hello, how's he doing at your studio?

Ah, I was so busy I forgot.

Their school had some

intensive training recently.

Oh, okay.

You alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Maybe you should take these

things back with you first.

I'll come to the studio a bit later.

Hello?

Dad.

Later, the bottle spins, and whoever

it points to will be the model.

Alright.

Alright.

Come.

Where's Qi Lu?

Why didn't he show up again?

Out having fun?

Hey. It's pointing at you.

Something's off with Qi Lu.

I want to go and see him.

Come with me, I know.

Where is he now? What's going on?

You dared to lie. Nonsense!

- It's right here. - Dad, I was wrong.

His dad didn't look too happy

- when he came back. - Dad, I shouldn't have...

- Maybe it was because of the studio. - What have you been doing?

Huh? You lied to me?

- Dad, I was wrong. - I even asked Lao Zhao

to look after you.

Huh? Tell me the truth!

- I... - Useless!

I promise I'll focus on the exams.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Mr. Qi.

Who are you?

Hello, Mr. Qi.

It's Xiao Liu.

Do you remember me?

Observing and creating landscapes.

My solo exhibition was hosted

by your art gallery.

Oh, Xiao Liu!

Ah, I was so busy I got confused.

Come in, have a seat.

My kid made a mistake,

so I'm scolding him.

What an embarrassment.

Come.

How's he doing with you at your studio?

He's doing well.

Xiao Qi draws very well.

He's quite obedient, too.

If you had told me earlier that

you've learning with Mr. Xiao Liu,

I wouldn't have been worried.

Study hard with Mr. Xiao Liu.

He was the top student at

Huajing Art university.

We were speculating he surely had

some professional training.

Didn't expect it to be from Mr. Qi.

Let's continue our chat inside.

Sure.

Go.

- Let's go. - Yes, let's chat inside.

If you had told me earlier that

you've learning with Mr. Xiao Liu,

I wouldn't have been worried.

Study hard with Mr. Xiao Liu.

He was the top student at

Huajing Art university.

I understand.

Mr. Xiao Liu, I'll have to rely on you.

It's part of my duty.

Rest assured, Mr. Qi.

All our students stay in the dorms.

Then I'll take Xiao Qi with me now.

Alright, thank you.

Does he often act this way?

Actually, I met your mom once.

Back when I was in university...

She was a teaching assistant

for our basic design class.

She was one of the best there.

It's probably best not to bring her up.

Especially in front of my dad.

Qin Xiao.

Let him rest for a bit.

Mr. Liu.

Could you take me back to my place?

I need to change my clothes

before going to class.

We're here.

Qin Xiao. Take Qi Lu upstairs.

Qi Lu.

Maybe take a couple of days off

before coming back to the studio.

Thank you, Mr. Liu.

But there's no need.

I can go up by myself.

Brother. Why are you here?

Did Qin Xiao come back today?

Oh.

He said he has something

to take care of. He's not coming back.

Did he say what it was?

But lately he's been going out a lot.

Grandpa says he might be dating someone.

Dating?

What's this all about?

Are you upset?

It has nothing to do with you.

I'm really fine.

It just looks more serious than it is.

Stop laughing.

It's fake.

I just applied it on the parts of

your back you couldn't reach.

You can handle the rest.

Are you mad?

Mhm.

Because I was going to kiss you today?

I almost did.

Can you be serious today?

Stop playing around.

I feel like my brain is about to

explode with everything going on.

Do you feel like you're stuck with

a problem you can't shake?

Can you stop talking like that?

Then how should I talk?

What can I say to make you satisfied?

Smiling isn't okay.

Getting angry isn't okay either.

I can't curse at others, and at myself?

Do you have to yell at me?

I see you as a friend.

What do you think of me?

Did you get my permission?

Then leave!

Why do you care about me?

Just go!

You went to my house to make fun of me?

Now you're here pretending to be nice.

Get out!

Leave! Just go!

Ow.

Ow...

You have a fever.

You actually didn't want

to avoid it today.

Take a rest.

You didn't resist back then.

Listen to me.

If I listen to you, will you stay?

I'll get you a cup of hot water.

I'll talk to Xiao Tan about

Grandpa's situation, then I'll return.

Okay?

Qi Lu.

Us doing this...

Isn't right.

I have a fever.

I feel cold.

When I had a stomachache,

you held me then.

It was okay back then.

Why isn't it okay now?

Let's just sleep for now.

Okay?

The news said there's going to be

a meteor shower tonight.

Want to watch it together?

Look, the meteor shower is coming.

We're in the city.

How could we see it here?

But if we miss it this time,

who knows when the next one will be.

It's too cold.

Don't wait, kiddo.

You always call me a kid.

Well, you are a kid.

You're my little brother.

I won't always be like this.

I'll grow up.

One day,

I'll be able to take care of you.

What,

are you worried I'll get bullied

in a nursing home someday?

Just wait and see.

You'd be better off going back

to get a good night's sleep.

You've got work tomorrow.

The news said there's going to be

a meteor shower tonight.

Want to watch it together?

No, thank you, Jiayu.

I have class tomorrow morning,

so I won't stay up.

I won't wait.

Who knows when it will come.

I'm off.

I didn't know you smoked.

There are a lot of things

you don't know about me.

But I'm 20 now.

Nothing I've done would be

surprising, get it?

Have you ever dated?

Do I look like someone who

lacks a girlfriend?

You're lying.
