[ROAD HOME]

[Episode 14]

How heavy are you now?

Less than 90 jin.

That's too light. You should eat more.

If you cook well,

I will eat more.

Go, Captain Lu!

Go, Captain Lu! Come on!

Captain Lu has such great physical strength.

Yes, he is running while carrying someone on his back.

Such great stamina.

Go, Captain Lu!

Come on, Captain Lu! Come on!

Can't you slow down?

I didn't set a speed limit.

The most basic requirement is to

finish running 5 kilometers with weights

within 20 minutes.

As the former captain,

I can't lose face.

How much load were you guys carrying in the past?

20 kilograms.

You weigh about 45 kilograms now,

so the difficulty has been doubled.

20 minutes is a bit difficult.

I will take at least half an hour.

Let's not talk anymore to preserve my energy.

She just arrived here,

and you guys are already badgering her.

Aren't you afraid that she will get angry

and run away?

Sir,

don't worry.

We have discussed it

and have prepared two options.

If Captain Lu's girlfriend

is the serious type

and doesn't like to joke around,

everyone will just tease them

in the canteen for awhile.

If she is open-minded

and can get along with everyone else,

we will badger them till the end.

Little brat,

you guys even playing it by ear.

Well,

I am just making up in advance for when

I don't get to disturb them on their wedding night.

I don't need it. You wipe instead.

Let's carry on.

Lu Yanchen,

why do you always have the attitude

where you look like you can handle anything?

It makes me

lose face as the new captain.

I was going to let you off easy for a bit,

but now I can't.

You are just getting back at

how badly I scolded you in the past, right?

I am not that petty.

I can do weighted pull-ups,

but she's wearing a skirt today.

How can I do it?

I didn't notice that.

How about

we do it without weights?

I agree.

It's has been tough on Xiao.

She even took off her padded jacket in this cold weather.

What are you talking about?

Are you saying that only you guys are being considerate to Xiao,

while we don't feel sorry for her?

Xiao, I agree.

Let's go without weights.

Please don't mind us.

We don’t mean to make things difficult for you.

We just wanted to see how Captain Lu

cuddle up with his girlfriend,

because we have never seen it before.

We are just playing around.

It doesn't matter if it is weighted or not,

right?

Yes.

The person we want to torture is Captain Lu,

which has nothing to do with Xiao.

We also can't torture Captain Lu.

How can the newlywed

waste his energy

on these things?

What are you talking about?

To my sister-in-law!

Come on!

Welcome Xiao to Qining again.

Thank you.

Cheers!

It's almost 2 o'clock.

The place you guys are staying at

is still quite a distance from here.

Gao Hai.

Captain Qin.

Make some arrangements.

I will bring Captain Lu and Xiao

over to stay later.

Got it.

Where are we stsaying?

There is an apartment building

outside our brigade.

It was originally a factory dormitory.

The landlord

really likes all of us from the SWAT team,

who happened to all be bachelors.

So he rented the whole building

to us at a really cheap price.

We would go to work together

and return from work together.

Captain Lu's room is still available.

You can can go over tonight

and it will be livelier for us to stay together,

right?

Yes, it's lively.

Yeah, it will be lively!

These are all newly bought, yeah?

Rest early.

Okay.

When I used to live here alone,

I did not realise that

this apartment is actually one living room and one bedroom.

I am not doing too bad.

You don't need to try and prove

you never brought a girl here.

I want to go to the toilet.

Where is the ladies' toilet?

There are only the men's toilets here.

All of them staying here

are male colleagues from the brigade.

So all the toilets were changed exclusively to men's.

What should we do?

I'll keep watch for you.

I'll go in and take a look.

Don’t look at Lu Yanchen

looking all impressive in normal times.

In the end,

he is just an unmarried male in his older youth.

His skin is really thin.

Someone

failed in a particular aspect,

yet he dares to make fun of

the one who is about to win.

It's so awkward to go out now.

But if I don't go out,

do I want to wait for people to walk in instead?

Captain Lu.

Where are you going?

I am going to the toilet.

Go back to your room

and do 200 push-ups.

Yes, Sir.

He just wanted to use the bathroom.

You asked him to do push-ups instead.

That's inhumane.

He is not even awake yet.

He didn't realize that

I am not his captain anymore.

You are so mean.

Who are you calling mean?

You...

Why are you looking at me?

I've never seen you brush your teeth.

When we were living in the tent,

you always ran out

and didn't let me see it.

What's there to see when I am brushing teeth?

Are you not brushing?

I need to maintain a sense of mystery

to keep our love fresh.

What nonsense.

What are you doing?

Sleep.

That's not right.

We are not married yet.

Didn't you say you wanted to marry me?

Who's there?

It's me.

I came to see you.

What a coincidence.

Who is it?

Our former leader.

Commissioner Du.

Is it a convenient time?

Yes.

What can I do for you?

Don't worry. There's no mission.

I am here to see

the girlfriend of Qining's great hero.

Gui Xiao,

I am sorry for

disturbing your rest.

No, you didn't.

Hello.

Lu rarely comes back.

But this time,

he walked through the gates of hell

yet again.

I felt really sorry

from the bottom of my heart,

so I came to console his family.

I am not yet his family member.

It's just a matter of time,

unless you dump him.

Otherwise, I think

he is not capable

of breaking up with you.

Right?

Yes.

I dare not.

Sir,

I have something

to report to you.

I am getting married.

That's great.

After you get married,

you must be nice to her.

Within our team, some of us were dumped,

but none of us

fooled around with the ladies.

Gui Xiao,

I always believed that

no one can be truly loyal

in life.

So how can we believe that

he is loyal to the SWAT team,

and the people of the country?

Right?

I didn't disturb

when the younger ones were messing with you just now.

Lu has never left Qining,

since he was assigned here.

Everyone in the force

sings their praises of him.

By the way,

he was the best student

among everyone

who was assigned here.

Many units wanted him,

but I managed to snatch him,

and now you got him.

Lu Yanchen,

although you don't need to make a formal report

to the force now

when you are getting married,

and I am no longer

your director supervisor,

but

I am very happy

you chose to tell me personally

that you are getting married today.

I am happy for both of you.

I am starting to feel that

I abducted a good leader.

Your superior, colleagues and brothers

are all reluctant to see you go.

Is something bothering you?

Are you sad to leave this behind?

From what I know about Commissioner Du,

he must have left something unsaid.

About what?

The job transfer or a mission?

He will tell me

when he wants to.

Are you cold?

No I am not.

But I am.

Why are you here running rounds early in the morning

instead of accompanying Xiao?

She's still asleep.

How about a race?

Come on.

Captain Lu.

200 push-ups isn't enough for you,

is that right?

Show me the new police dogs that you have been training

when you have time.

No problem.

I am done with you.

How about one more round at the shooting range?

Next time.

She should be awake by now.

I want to sleep some more.

Captain Lu,

aren’t we going to see the dogs?

They will leave soon.

Sir!

Okay, I got it.

If we didn't break up then,

I am guessing that you will

stay over a couple of days every year.

That's not enough.

Maybe I will

stay for more than ten days every year.

Alright,

they are going to shout again in just a moment.

Let them shout.

If they keep shouting

and you don't respond,

they will be imagining things.

You are already staying in my room.

Whatever they are going to imagine

is completely understandable.

I really regret it now.

Regret what?

I regret that one year outside the conference hall,

I shouldn't have left straightaway.

Before I was at the gas station,

I was outside a conference hall

checking on suspected explosives.

That was when I saw you.

You were the one who blew it up then?

And then?

Nothing.

The danger was cleared so I came back to the base.

That's all?

Such an important event

and you put it across in two to three sentences.

It was just my day-to-day work,

what's there to say?

Let me tell you,

that dog of mine

is obsessed with love songs recently.

He becomes obedient immediately upon hearing it.

So cute.

Aren’t you looking for me?

Captain Lu.

Let's go see the dogs.

Yes yes, let's go see the dogs.

Those dogs missed you so much.

I will bring them over now.

Lu Chen.

Wait in the room.

I will buy you breakfast.

Why don't I just go with you?

Are you going?

I will wait for you to be back.

Captain Lu!

I heard your girlfriend came.

What flavor does

your girlfriend likes?

Meat buns.

That's an honest person.

Okay, meat buns.

I'll give you two.

It has to be fate, Xiao.

You and Captain Lu

are really meant to be.

They say that if two people can be together,

there must be some fate to prove it.

This has to be it.

Yes.

When we came back from a mission one time,

Captain Lu sat on the playground

and played the harmonica for all of us.

The melody from the harmonica

made a lot of us cry.

That was the only time

I heard Captain Lu play the harmonica.

That was the time when I just joined

and I didn't know him well.

I thought our Captain Lu

is such a tender person despite his tough exterior,

and he must be missing his girlfriend.

Then I found out

he was single just like me.

So I thought

our Captain Lu

must have been too busy with work,

so he hasn't got a chance

to meet outstanding single women as well.

Are you getting lovesick?

I didn't expect in the end there is such a backstory.

What song did he sing?

"In A Foreign Land”

♫How much I want to go back home♫

♫To be by her side again♫

♫To see her kindness and gentleness♫

♫To soothe my broken heart♫

♫Let me go back home♫

♫To be by her side again♫

♫Let her kindness and gentleness♫

♫To soothe my broken heart♫

Xiao,

why did the two of you broke up in the first place?

Because...

Because we were young

and thought breaking up was no big deal.

We thought it was easy.

[Library]

[Year 2010]

What do you want to eat?

Let's go eat noodles.

Sure.

Today's noodles must be good.

What's wrong?

My boyfriend is back.

Bye.

Don't you recognize me?

Yes, I don't.

Who are you?

Why are you here?

You mentioned on the phone that

you will be listening to this lecture.

Get on.

I am not familiar with this area.

Where do you want to go?

Anywhere.

How long will you be back for this time?

Did you take time off?

When are you going back?

I am leaving at night.

You are leaving as soon as you arrive?

I can't take too much time off.

I just need to see you.

[GreenTree Hotel]

Let's stop here.

We can stay away from the wind and talk for a bit.

I am going out for a while.

There's nothing to eat nearby.

If you told me you were hungry, I would have bought it for you.

When have I ever asked you to work?

I can't cook,

but I can still buy food.

I know you like corn sticks,

so I bought two.

You still remember?

I dare not forget.

I thought you would have forgotten.

I am your boyfriend.

How can I forget?

You will forget it if you still don't come back.

Am I not back to see you now?

Eat up.

You too.

We have fries and burgers.

I ate on the train.

You just got off the train?

I won't argue with you anymore.

Say it again.

I will record it

and I will play it for you next time.

Talk nicely.

I really missed you.

I should be going off soon.

We just ate something

and you have to go already?

I will come and see you the next time I am free.

I don't want to go either.

You are leaving

before you hug me properly.

Didn't we agree

we won't break up?

When can I finish my studies?

Why can't I finish it?

My mom wants me to take my PhD.

♫When I first saw you, my heart lost its defenses♫

♫I thought about the future♫

♫At the intersection in the early mornings and late evenings♫

You got good grades,

♫I owe you a hug♫

so go for it.

♫I've been wandering alone for a long time♫

I will wait for you.

♫As time passes through the years♫

Go back.

Your parents will be looking for you later.

♫I am still here waiting♫

Hug me for two more minutes.

♫I will express my feelings bravely this time♫

♫So that I won't let you down again♫

♫Close your eyes and get closer♫

♫I feel your warmth♫

♫In your world♫

♫I don't want to turn back♫

♫With your warmth♫

♫I won't be suffering from loneliness anymore♫

♫Our reunion♫

♫Takes us back to the beginning♫

♫This moment feels like♫

♫Youth does not seem to end♫

♫I still love you♫

♫My heart pulls towards the way back♫

♫Close your eyes and get closer♫

♫So that I can feel your warmth♫

♫In your world♫

♫I don't want to turn back♫

♫With your warmth♫

♫I won't be suffering from loneliness anymore♫

♫Our reunion♫

♫Takes us back to the beginning♫

♫This moment feels like♫

♫Youth does not seem to end♫

♫I still love you♫

♫And that is the best destiny♫

Why are you here?

I came because I missed you.

♫I still love you♫

What's wrong with your eyes? Are you crying?

♫And that is the best destiny♫

What's wrong?

I didn't do well.

You didn't do well?

If someone like you with such good grades

didn't do well,

then those whose grades are not as good as yours

will also not do as well.

Is it worth crying over this?

How long did he save

for him to spend this much money?

[Year 2020]

I didn't understand him back then,

and I didn't know

he had such heavy duties here.

I often would not be able to reach him after calling.

It happened that

something happened to my family in that same period.

I wanted to chat with someone,

but I couldn't reach him,

so I shouldered it alone.

Eventually, I felt tired shouldering everything by myself.

I felt that

I didn't need a boyfriend like him.

After that,

we broke up.

How many first loves

can last until the end?

What are you talking about?

There's an example right in front of us.

Oh yes.

Please don't mind us, Xiao.

You and Captain Lu

will definitely be together for a long time.

Captain Lu.

Captain Lu.

Captain Lu.

Let’s go.

Meat buns!

I knew you like it.

Did I tell you before?

I did?

When?

On the phone.

You said you finished spending your pocket money

and wanted to eat meat buns.

The ones with mutton and onion stuffing.

Ah, that time.

Why was the pocket money

all gone?

You spent it all in advance?

Can I only eat stuffing?

Xiao.

Something's up.

Now?

Go ahead.

I will find a place nearby to entertain myself.

Finish up the soy milk.

I bought it just for you.

Some people from the civil explosives company are coming over.

They heard that you are in Qining

and said that they must meet you.

Let's go.

Come in.

Let me introduce.

That's Lu Yanchen,

our Captain Lu.

This is Mr. Shen.

Captain Lu,

nice to meet you.

I’ve heard a lot about you.

Mr. Shen,

you are the senior.

I should be saying that.

You are a formidable young man.

Do you happen to be

on leave today?

Actually, I’ve been transferred to Tianwen.

I am taking my annual leave this time as

I have something to do

Sure.

Some time ago,

we also went to Beijing.

Sit down.

Come on.

Have a seat.

Captain Lu,

I purposely

brought my disciples

to learn from your experience

today.

Let's begin.

Recently,

we have been studying

the bombs and mines

left behind from the war.

They say Captain Lu is good at

handling this aspect of explosives.

So,

I specially brought these experts

and my disciples

to learn from your experience.

Indeed, some of these bombs

were handled by me.

Last year,

there was one that was

dug up during the remodelling project

for a old neighbourhood.

That bomb was quite similar to these models.

I have written a detailed bomb disposal report.

I can ask Captain Qin

to show you guys later.

In the past,

my Old Captain also handled

the explosives

left behind from wartime.

But I need to

find these materials myself,

because they are all hardcopies.

I will need to go to the Resource Room.

If you guys are not in a hurry,

I will sort out everything

by this afternoon

before we discuss in detail.

After this,

quickly scan the files and save a digital record,

so that it will be easier to find them.

Yes, Sir.

Hello?

Something urgent came up.

You will have to settle lunch by yourself.

You can go to the

restaurant we went yesterday.

Okay.

Bye.

Wait a minute.

What's wrong?

What time are you coming back today?

Are we still staying here tonight?

If you don't want to leave,

we can stay a few more nights.

Why does this sentence sound...

I am hanging up.

See you tonight.

What's up?

He's quite gentle.

It's quite rare to witness.

There is no one else here,

shall we eat together?

Alright.

Are you Captain Lu's girlfriend?

My boyfriend told me.

Yes.

Are you here to see your boyfriend?

Yes.

We are all from Henan.

After he got here,

it has been three years since

he went back home.

I come to see him every year.

He hasn't been home for three years?

It must have been tough on you.

Their job

requires them to be

working non-stop.

I am used to it.

When I was studying,

we were separated.

He was in Qining back then.

That has been a long time.

Yes, a long time indeed.

This...

This was

the bomb that was dug out

when the villagers were about to rebuild their house,

left behind from wartime.

It was 40 cm long.

I have seen this before.

This is great.

Captain Lu,

with this drawing,

It will be so much more convenient.

It's just that this handwriting...

I can read

Old Captain's handwriting best.

I am showing you the manuscript first.

Later at night,

I will scan it for you

and organize the manuscripts into an electronic version.

Captain Lu,

that will be really hard on you.

No worries, it's my duty.

Here.

Write this down.

These are all

bombs left behind during the war.

This is a napalm bomb.

This is an aerial bomb.

This is a time bomb.

In that era, the time bombs

were fitted with an anti-disassembly steel bead setting.

If we find this

and remove the wire,

the bomb

will become a dead bomb.

Then, it will no longer be dangerous.

Maintain the spirit of learning.

Great job.

He's more experienced than me in this area.

Take this opportunity to learn some more.

There is no harm.

Come here.

Why don't you dry your hair a bit more in the winter?
