[The Way Home]

[Episode 11]

What? You can't even get me a cab?

You want me to walk there?

Sir, will you go to the station?

He Jiashu.

Get in the car!

I heard you. No need to shout so loudly.

Isn't that Long?

And He Jiashu as well?

Why are they going to the station?

Afu, help me request a leave.

I'll be back soon.

Where are you going?

Hao,

your classmate is here.

Junli came all the way

to bring you your homework.

Why aren't you getting up to greet him?

That's rude.

Sorry about that.

It's okay.

By the way, Auntie,

there are a few tricky points in this set of questions

that I need to go over with Jiahao.

It might take some time.

Don't worry about it.

You boys go ahead and study.

I'll go out now.

Okay.

Get up now.

You guys continue.

Why are you here?

I don't want to do any homework.

He Jiahao, get up quickly.

If you don't hurry, Jiashu will be gone.

What?

I just came from the martial arts school

and saw Jiashu heading to the station with his bag.

You still have time to catch up.

Don't panic.

I'll go out and distract your mom.

You can slip out when you get the chance.

Auntie.

I have a bad stomach ache.

I need to go to the toilet.

It's downstairs. I'll show you the way.

Okay. Thank you, Auntie.

Did you eat something that didn't agree with you?

I think so.

Hao.

Auntie.

Grandpa, I...

You are going to see Jiashu, right?

Quick, go now.

Hurry up and go.

It'll be trouble if your mom sees you.

Be quick.

Go now.

Thanks.

I'd like to buy a ticket to Chaodong.

The round-trip ticket is 260, and the one-way ticket is 150.

Which one do you want?

The one-way ticket, please.

Okay.

[Xiqiao to Chaodong]

Hao doesn't need you

in his future life.

You are not the son of the He family,

so we

are not a family.

[Xiqiao to Chaodong]

[Ticket office. Entrance]

Thank you. You can keep the change.

Dear passengers,

the train bound for Chaodong is about to depart.

Please proceed to gate number four

for a ticket check.

Jiashu.

Sorry, I mistook you for someone else. Sorry.

Sorry.

Hao.

Jiashu, can you stay?

What are you doing here?

Ever since you left eight years ago,

I've been looking for you every day.

Every day, you know.

I know I was wrong.

I just want to make up for my mistakes.

Your phone.

Give me your phone.

[Remove this friend? Confirm]

[Family]

Lin Junrong will only leave

after I do.

Then there won't be any more trouble.

[Contacts]

Don't keep dwelling on the past

from now on.

Go back now.

Take care of yourself.

I'm sorry, Uncle He.

I'm the one who let Jiahao go.

If you're going to blame someone, blame me.

Head back home first.

You don't want your parents to worry.

Uncle He,

I'll take my leave now.

[Mirtazapine Tablets]

[Prescription, Xiqiao Tongren Hospital]

Hongguang.

Hongguang.

I've been wondering why the kid's been acting strange lately.

His energy is low,

his grades are slipping,

and he can't concentrate.

[Prescription, Xiqiao Tongren Hospital] Well...

It's my fault as his mom

for not taking better care of him.

What more care does he need?

We feed him well,

and the whole family treats him like the king of the house.

What's there for him to be upset about?

What did we do wrong as parents

to make him depressed?

Honestly, I think he's just too fragile.

He can't take any kind of pressure.

Hao,

where have you been?

Where did you go?

Do you have any idea

what the whole village is saying about your uncle

and the He family?

You've really brought shame upon us!

What are you doing, Hongguang?

Hao, forget what your dad said.

Let's go back to the room.

I've long wanted

to get out of this family.

Hao.

You want to get out?

Fine.

Great.

Get out.

Get out!

Jiahao.

Go talk to him.

Jiahao!

Face, it's all about face.

What have you done to your child

for the He family's face?

You don't want this son,

but I still do.

[All the Best]

It's so late.

Where could he possibly go?

How can you still be in the mood to read the newspaper?

He was the one who decided to leave.

I didn't force him out.

He sneaked out and messed up.

Look at his attitude.

Does he seem even the least bit sorry?

So what now?

Do you want me, his father, to go find him

and bring him back?

You can't just leave him to his own devices.

What if he doesn't come back?

What if he runs into bad people?

Don't you remember what Jiashu said?

With Jiahao's condition,

do you really think it's okay

to leave him out there alone for so long?

What if his illness flares up?

Depression

can be deadly, you know?

You drove him away.

Go find him and bring him back!

Go find him and bring him back!

You go if you want to.

I'm not going.

What did you say?

If you're not going, I will!

Dad, can you stop making things worse?

I am the one making things worse?

Who's really the one causing all this chaos?

This family's falling apart. Some have died,

while others have left.

What else do you want?

What else do you want?

- Dad. - Dad.

I've lived to this age,

and in my final years, all I wanted was for the family

to be together and enjoy each other's company.

But now, my grandson's gone,

and you won't even go look for him.

With how this family has turned out,

how can I not be angry?

Dad.

Are you going or not?

Dad, please don't be angry.

I'll go.

I'll go, all right?

Go!

Go now.

Go!

Go!

Take a seat.

Dad, you stay here and rest.

I'll also go look for him.

I'll help look for him too.

Okay, go ahead. Go.

Jiashu,

where did you go to university?

Where do you want to go in the future?

Then,

can I go to your university?

I've made up my mind.

I want to get into your uni

and visit you. Is that okay?

Sure.

Hao.

- Hao. - Hao.

Jiahao.

Let's check over there.

Hao.

Jiahao.

- Hao. - Jiahao.

Mr. and Mrs. He.

Ms. Qiu, any updates on Jiahao?

I asked around the class,

but nobody knew where Jiahao went.

After all,

he doesn't really hang out with anyone much

and doesn't have any close friends.

Actually, I think we could ask Jiashu.

Sure.

This is urgent.

Exactly, Hongguang.

If you're not going to call him, I will.

I'm part of the He family too.

Ms. Qiu,

could you please give me Jiashu's number?

Thanks.

[Auntie]

[Auntie]

Hello, Jiashu.

Auntie.

- I just fell asleep. - Long.

- Coming. - Long.

Long, open the door.

Long, did Hao come by?

What happened to Hao?

Hao has gone missing.

- Hao! - Hao!

Hao!

Hao!

- Hao. - Hao.

Hao.

Hao.

Long, any updates?

No.

Jia... Jiashu.

Jiashu.

You...

Let's go.

Our priority is to find Hao. Let's go.

Sir, it's already past midnight.

It's too late, don't wait any longer.

Let me help you to your room to get some rest.

It's already so late,

yet Hongguang and the others still haven't found Hao?

Not yet.

This won't do. I'll go find him myself.

Please sit down.

Calm down.

I only have two grandsons.

One's gone, and now the other's missing.

How can I possibly sleep?

But getting anxious won't help either.

Long, you head that way. I'll go this way.

Jiahao!

Jiahao!

Jiahao!

Jiahao!

Jiahao!

Jiahao!

Jiahao!

Jiahao!

- Jiahao! - Hao!

- Jiahao! - Hao!

Jiahao!

Hao.

Jiahao.

Hao.

Hao.

These are...?

Are these all made by Hao?

Yes.

This is the place where Hao hid from his dad

to make the lanterns.

Hao is so talented.

These lanterns are truly exquisite.

There are so many lanterns.

It looks like he's serious about this.

That's just how this kid is.

He doesn't say much,

but he's very stubborn.

Once he decides on something,

it's hard for him to give up.

He said

making lanterns makes him happy.

Don't worry, we'll find him.

Let's go.

We should search elsewhere.

[Xiqiao Arcade]

Hongguang.

What's the update?

Did you find him?

No.

Where could he possibly go?

Let's check over there.

I failed again.

Why is this level so hard?

Do you like playing games?

How long are you planning to stay here?

I had to be cheeky

to borrow this arcade from my big brother.

I didn't do it so you could run away from home.

You haven't gone back either.

Are you also planning

to run away from home?

I often stay up late playing games here.

Whether I go back or not doesn't matter,

as long as they have my brother.

But you are different.

They're probably freaking out looking for you.

You are the only heir of the He family.

Your parents must be worried sick now that you are missing.

Fine.

You can stay as long as you want here.

Thanks.

No need for thanks between us.

Would you like to play a few rounds?

I'm good. I don't know how to play it.

Come on, I'll teach you.

First, this.

Then what?

Choose this character

and press this button.

Press it again.

You smashed it so hard.

Will this machine still work tomorrow?

It's not like I'm actually telling you to fight.

Sorry, I didn't control the force properly.

Never mind.

You've been letting off steam for a while.

Have you figured things out?

I...

I still can't figure out

why the He family

ended up like this.

It used to be so wonderful.

When I was little,

we always went for dim sum together.

I still remember the time

our family won the dragon boat race trophy

for the village.

But to me,

none of that glory

mattered as much

as having the whole family together.

I just want to help the He family move past this.

I know my grandpa and aunt want the same thing.

But my dad

has never been the same since that incident,

and everything has changed because of it.

Maybe your dad

has his own emotional baggage he can't let go of.

You just need to give him some time.

Who knows? He might come to terms with it soon.

Really?

Of course.

As a family,

there's nothing you can't get through together.

Sometimes, those who care about you the most

are the ones quietly supporting you where you can't see.

That said,

I'm not sure

if there's anything I can do to help you.

I'm not sure.

But I'll keep trying.

I just

don't want to give up.
