"Blue Canvas of Youthful Days"

(Episode 6: Doing What I Want, Loving Who I Want)

If I listen to you, can you not leave?

Mom!

Mom! Don't go!

Mom!

Mom!

I'll definitely come back

to pick you up.

Mom, don't go!

Mom. Mom.

Why didn't you reply to my messages?

You have a new order, please check.

Let's go.

If I listen to you, can you not leave?

What's wrong?

No couriers accepted the order?

It's so close.

Why don't you deliver it?

I'll go deliver it.

- Be careful, alright? - Yeah.

Aren't you leaving?

Not going to school today?

I don't feel well.

I'm not going.

Why is it you?

- Where's he? - Huh?

Him. Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao doesn't feel well.

Thank you.

Liar.

They're all liars.

Brat.

Do you really blame me?

You never let me dream of you,

not even once.

When are you arriving?

It's about to start.

I'll be there soon, in five minutes.

Wait just five minutes, okay?

Ugh, always like this.

I've prepared a surprise for you,

alright?

You're here.

Don't you have to take care

of Grandpa today?

Qin Xiao isn't feeling well today.

He's at home.

I'll go wash my face, wait a moment.

The first time I saw you,

I felt you looked a lot like him.

I'll go put the breakfast away.

Don't you have anything

you want to ask me?

He was about your age when he left.

I need to back and take care of Qin Xiao.

I'm leaving now.

(Teacher Liu, you have to eat on time)

I still ended up messing everything up.

Do you think he hates you?

Maybe.

I don't know.

Do you feel that

he likes you too?

Trust your own feelings.

And trust your own heart.

You didn't go back yet?

Yeah.

I'll finish packing up the paint box I

share with Qi Lu and then go back.

He already put it away

after class just now.

- Sun Xiaorui. - Huh?

This pastel green shouldn't

be in this box.

I arranged them according to the

order Lao Liu gave.

Sun Xiaorui.

You can't tell the difference

between green and blue?

Last time, this box had blue in it.

Hey.

It's actually best to plan ahead.

This doesn't affect

your love for painting.

But it'll definitely affect your exams.

Thank you.

I won't tell anyone.

I'll only feel at ease if you accept it.

Alright then.

Umm...

Are you free over the weekend

to do some sketching together?

Classmates.

The special admissions exam

registration starts today.

It'll last for three days.

In the coming days,

I'll talk to each of you individually

about your plans for the

unified exam registration.

For those who aren't called,

keep practicing on your own.

Where's Qi Lu?

Alright, alright. Keep practicing on your own for now.

What's going on with Qi Lu lately?

I don't know.

It seems like after that day,

he hasn't been able to really study.

He hasn't come to the studio several times already.

He...

has indeed been affected.

The special admissions spot

at Huajing Art University

requires a preliminary exam each year.

You submit a recorded video

of your work online.

The re-exam takes place

after the unified exams.

If you pass,

you get an additional 20 points

for the college entrance exams,

these 20 points can set you

apart from many others.

Understood.

Not everyone has an equal opportunity.

Some people have backup options by default, while others only have one shot.

Do you understand what I mean?

I also hope I can help Qi Lu.

But this is the

teacher's responsibility.

So I hope

in the coming days,

you'll put all your focus

on exam preparation.

Can you do that?

Lao Liu.

Could you talk to him directly?

Just don't involve his dad.

Alright.

Where's Qi Lu?

It's been so many days already.

He's not studying anymore?

Where's Qi Lu?

Why are you asking me where he went?

Aren't you two close?

It's been so long.

Why hasn't Lao Liu called for me yet?

The special admissions exam

is about to end.

You draw like dog shit.

Qin Xiao.

Come outside with me for a bit.

Have you had any contact with Qi Lu

- these past few days? - No.

What's up with him?

I can't get in touch with him,

no matter how much I try.

Today is the last day to register

for the special admissions exam.

Hey, where are you going?

You're still in class.

Why are you here?

Not going to let me in?

Not going to the studio?

Just wasting your days at home?

Can't you just get to the point?

The registration for the special

admissions exam is about to end.

Is this the only reason you came?

Fine.

I've passed on the message

Lao Liu wanted me to.

What exactly do you want?

Tell Lao Liu for me,

I'm not going to Boyi anymore.

And I'm not taking the special

admissions exam either.

Qi Lu,

I never thought that people like us

could become friends.

- Since we are friends now... - Who said I want to be your friend?

Can you stop acting

stubborn like a child?

Who's the one acting like a child here?

Who's been avoiding me all these days,

then suddenly shows up out

of nowhere to tell me what to do?

When I was in pain, you were there.

When my dad beat me up like a dog,

you were there too.

Why did you start avoiding me

after that day?

I waited here for three days

before you showed up.

Are you pretending not to know?

Qi Lu,

I told you...

I'm happy to take care of you

as a friend.

You've helped me too.

You're the first friend I made at Boyi.

If I've made you misunderstand anything,

I apologize to you, young master.

Stop being stubborn.

Your drawing is so good.

Hurry back and prepare for the exam.

Does this look familiar?

This is…

It looks very familiar, right?

It's the same as the sketch you posted

on the Blue account on October 3rd.

I don't know anything about any account.

I knew it was you on

the first day at Boyi.

I copied your drawing and won a prize.

- So, I wanted to make it up to you. - Alright,

there are plenty of drawings

with similar compositions.

If you feel guilty because of this,

I can say I forgive you.

Is that enough?

At first, I thought I just felt guilty.

So, I wanted to see if there

was any way I could help you.

Later, I realized I just wanted

to be around you.

I wanted to go to the

same university as you.

Even though I don't know what I like,

and I don't want to draw anymore,

but because of you,

I want to stay at Boyi.

But that day, when I saw Sun Xiaorui

walking with you, I was really angry,

and I didn't know why.

- I thought maybe I was… - Stop.

If you keep going,

we won't even be able to stay friends.

Brother Xiao.

Qi Lu.

Do you know why

I always like to draw lively things?

I've always wanted a family.

When I was 10,

and my parents left me,

my biggest wish in this life has

been to have a family of my own.

A wife,

a kid,

a small house,

just a simple, ordinary family of three,

you know?

Right now,

I just want to get into a university,

so I can teach my own kids

to draw someday.

Your dad is a jerk,

but you're going to be a good dad.

Qin Xiao.

Telling me this…

is really cruel.

Then let me ask you,

why hasn't Blue posted any new drawings?

- I haven't drawn much lately. - You haven't drawn anything?

Do you think you're really mature?

Like you're great at

making decisions, huh?

In that crappy notebook

you hide like a treasure,

the one you don't let anyone see,

aren't all the drawings in there of me?

Why don't you dare post them?

Why hide them if you post them?

Why can't you own up to it?

Do you know what my future goal is?

Huh?

I want to do what I love,

and love whoever I want to love.

No one can stop me.

I won't let you run away.

Why are you drinking alone?

Actually, I chickened out.

What?

I said,

actually, I chickened out.

Xiao Tan, look over there.

What do you see?

Buildings,

cars,

a shopping street.

It's a world

different from ours.

A few days ago, grandpa even asked me,

are you dating someone?

Is it that girl who was sketching

with you all that day?

Do you like her?

She likes me, okay?

And you?

Doesn't matter.

Why doesn't it matter?

Just being friends is enough.

He has so many different choices,

so many open and smooth paths.

Roads that are easy and

comfortable to walk.

Why should I drag him to walk through

muddy pits and winding roads with me?

I feel like all of this is

just your imagination.

When I liked Teacher Liu, I felt that,

even though things are like this now,

in the future,

I could also take care of him.

The future will keep getting better.

Be true

to your heart.

So why haven't you looked

for Teacher Liu recently?

Because he's more honest than you.

So I know that he doesn't like me back.

Yes,

it's me.

I'll be there soon.

Hey,

do you need my help?

No need.

Stay home and take care of Grandpa.

And don't drink too much, okay?

Slipping up, classmate?

How could you make a mistake like this?

I really miss you so much.

Are you upset because of that photo?

Is that why you haven't come

to find me for so long?

I actually have always been

able to tell clearly.
