[ROAD HOME]

[Episode 30]

[2020]

[Qining City]

Gui Xiao.

Now,

I'm still in that restaurant.

I found this piece of paper and this pen

behind the counter.

You drove away

an hour ago.

They are still singing the song

they were singing when you came.

The light is dim here.

I opened the curtain and is writing with the door open.

It's windy and snowy.

My fingers

can bear the cold

for about an hour.

An hour

is enough for me to write a letter.

[2008]

I haven't written to you in the past few years.

In the years further away,

I did write a few letters,

but I didn't send them.

Firstly, I didn't know your address.

Secondly, given your age,

you might have got married.

I didn't want to bother you.

Of course,

I can't send you this letter after finishing it.

I just want to find a place

to talk to you.

Lu Chen, slow down.

Uncle, I'm on duty today.

To be honest,

our breakup

was extremely painful for me.

But later when I thought about it,

I could only think of your good side.

That's my cousin.

Lu Chen?

Yes. He's from Grade 12, Class 6.

Your cousin is very famous.

Of course.

[Grade 12, Class 6]

[Countdown to the college entrance exam: 53 days]

Chen, you're looking for me?

Yes.

Zixuan.

Help me send this

to the math teacher.

I saw you this morning.

I saw you too.

You disappeared before I could call you.

Why didn't you call me?

I'm on duty. I was afraid I would be late.

Who have you been playing with recently?

Your mom said

you go home very late every day.

No.

My mom knows

who I play with.

There's a Grade 11 student named Gui Xiao

who lives in the same neighborhood as me.

We go to school and come home together every day.

Gui Xiao?

Yes. My mom knows her too.

She comes to my place to do homework every day.

I'm going back. Bye.

You're so annoying.

The top student.

I said you are the top-ranked student.

The rankings just came out.

You're amazing.

Chen.

I need to go to class.

Okay.

That's your friend?

Yes.

She's the one

who always goes to my place to do homework.

Gui Xiao.

My cousin, Lu Chen.

Lu Yanchen.

Right.

He met someone with the same name in school,

so he changed his name.

But members of our family

still call him Lu Chen.

She said you're in Grade 11.

Grade 11, Class 6.

I'm from Grade 12, Class 6.

What a coincidence! We're all in Class 6.

My classroom is one floor up from yours.

[Grade 11, Class 6]

Time to have your study hall.

Do your homework.

Don't talk. Don't make a noise.

The handsome guy

who talked to you on the playground

is the school hunk from Grade 12, Class 6, right?

He is the school hunk?

Yes.

What's his name?

I've seen him many times.

Grade 11, Class 6, we are not afraid of the hot summer.

Grade 11, Class 6, we are not afraid of the hot summer.

Grade 11, Class 6, go, go!

Grade 11, Class 6, go, go!

Grade 11, Class 6, we are not afraid of the hot summer.

Grade 11, Class 6, we are not afraid of the hot summer.

Life in senior high school is truly beautiful.

What a pity! We're coming to the end.

I'm reluctant to leave.

Yesterday, who said he wished to

take the college entrance exam the next day?

You chose the Police Academy.

I heard life is hard there.

Are you afraid?

Pass it over.

Pass it here.

Come on. Defend!

Come on. One more.

Defend!

Come here.

Defend!

The backboard!

Nice shot!

That's Lu Chen.

Lu Chen from Grade 12, Class 6.

Hurry up.

Here, pass it to me.

Come on.

Block it.

Nice shot!

Come on. Hurry.

-Let me play. -Pass it to me.

Bai, Lu Chen will come on for you.

Come on. Go on.

Next! Defend!

Defend!

Defend! Watch them!

Watch out!

Rebound! Rebound!

Pass the ball!

After these Grade 12 students graduate,

there'll be fewer classes in the basketball game.

Those who are good at basketball

are all in Grade 12.

No, we also have good players in our grade.

OK. Stop.

Hurry up.

A little exercise is enough for you.

The college entrance exam is coming.

Don't exercise too much.

The college entrance exam is coming.

If you hurt yourself,

your exam performance will be affected.

All right. Just go.

Let's go.

Are you in Grade 11?

You're getting in my way.

No, we're going in the same direction.

Why did you get off?

Let's go back together.

Yeah.

Don't go.

Is your bag heavy? Let me help you.

Introduce yourself. Say something.

Yeah.

Lu Chen.

I'll accompany you home.

You know each other?

Why is he so arrogant?

What bad luck! Let's go.

Let's go.

Yesterday, a teacher caught

some Grade 12 students fighting,

then brought them back to school and had their parents come.

I saw it.

They seemed badly hurt.

Do you know her?

My cousin's friend.

I didn't do well in the Chinese exam.

Come to my place to have dinner

and do homework tonight, okay?

What? You didn't do well in the exam too?

Not bad.

Take it.

Thank you, Chen.

Why are you being so polite with me?

My cousin bought one more. Drink it.

He didn't say it's for me.

What if he just put it here for now

and will come back for it later?

He put it here for you.

Don't stand on ceremony with him. Drink it.

These days,

the food in the canteen tastes terrible.

Gui Xiao and I ate in the restaurants

near the school gate for several days.

The food made by some of the restaurants

is not clean.

Don't eat there too often.

I'm not like you. You cook and bring your lunch.

I envy you.

I'll cook a few dishes for you.

Take it to school for lunch tomorrow.

Sure.

But my mom

doesn't want me to disturb you.

She said the college entrance exam is coming.

If she finds out

you cook for me,

she'll scold me.

I don't do this very often.

You can eat it for lunch tomorrow.

You're so nice to me.

Go get a lunchbox.

If I had your cooking skills,

I would bring my own food every day.

Do you want some?

No.

My cousin made it yesterday.

Try it.

Your cousin made it?

Yes.

He wanted me to eat something different.

No wonder you asked me

to bring my lunch today.

Delicious?

Great.

Unfortunately,

the Police Academy he chose is not in Beijing.

We may not be able to see him in the future.

He didn't choose universities in Beijing?

He didn't.

He may come back for summer and winter vacations.

But if he has a girlfriend,

he probably won't be back during vacations.

His future girlfriend will be lucky.

He's nice and he cooks well.

Did your class teacher tell you

our school is going to be an exam venue,

and Grade 10 and Grade 11 will take the days off?

Yes.

Nice.

Sir.

It's the college entrance exam today.

You can't enter the school, right?

I just passed by.

So strange. Why isn't his name on the list?

Look.

The top 50 students

are all going to famous universities.

This year's seniors are awesome.

Yes.

I don't know how they did it.

Let's go buy something to eat

after class tomorrow.

Sure.

There's no study hall in the evening yet.

Grade 12.

It's finally our turn.

How did your cousin do?

Did he get enrolled?

I don't know.

You didn't ask?

Before the exam, my mom told me

not to ask him.

She doesn't want to put him under pressure.

Waiting for the admission letter

after the exam must be stressful.

[Lu Zheng Automobile Repair]

Lu Chen.

Come on, let's talk.

I'm okay.

Talk to me

and you'll be relieved.

You bad boy.

What should I say about you?

I told you not to choose the Police Academy, but you didn't listen.

In your mind,

there's only your stepfather

but not me, right?

Enough, bro.

He is upset.

Can't you just stop talking?

What is he sad about?

He should know

who his real father is.

He didn't listen to me.

Fine, don't take the exam this year.

Wait for next year.

I'll transfer you to another school.

Maybe you can do better in the exam.

You live here every day.

You have your own home.

I missed the college entrance exam that year.

If I hadn't retaken my senior year

or if I'd transferred to another school,

would I have

lost contact with you?

Chen,

you can go out now?

It's okay to waste one year.

You'll do better in the exam next year.

Your way of comforting him

seems strange.

I mean well.

Don't you want to play?

I'm not in the mood. Enjoy yourselves.

Leave me alone.

Gui Xiao.

You're here.

Have you finished your summer homework?

You just came out to play.

So did you.

We're celebrating Meng Xiaoshan's graduation.

It's a special situation.

I'll introduce her to you later.

She's your junior.

Chen, where are you going?

I'll play with you.

You've been sitting all afternoon.

You finally want to get some exercise.

I'm no match for you.

I'll use my left hand.

Lu Chen came back to retake his senior year?

Really?

Don't you know him?

He didn't tell you?

I met him this morning. I didn't ask him.

Next time you meet him,

ask him.

I think it's better

to solve the problem this way.

I see.

Slow down.

[2009]

Why are you drunk?

Slowly.

Where?

Here.

Uncle, I'm going to be late.

I'll leave my dad to you.

Don't worry, son.

Go.

Lu Chen.

The study hall is almost over,

yet you just arrived.

Where is your uniform?

Someone in my family stained it.

I didn't have time to wash it.

Go to my office.

Stand there and read your book.

If you're not punished for breaking the rules,

everyone will learn from you.

It's better for you to live in the school.

My dad refused to pay my accommodation fees.

You were late?

I was made to stand here.

Wear this.

It'll make the teacher happy.

Sir,

I put our class's assignments there.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Look at you.

You are not wearing your uniform and badge.

I brought this.

That's more like it.

Go.

In last week's math test,

the teacher used your test paper

to give us a mock test.

I didn't do very well.

You solved the final questions

quite well.

May I have a look at your paper?

Wait a minute.

What? Are you going to ask the teacher questions?

No.

I don't know

how many papers the teacher gave you.

Just take a look.

Thank you.

There's no rush. I don't need them.

Okay.

[Grade 12 Mock Exam]

Your uncle wants you to eat there.

I'm not going.

You have to go since he asked you to.

I have a lot of homework.

Eat first. Then come back to do your homework.

Do as I say.

If you go, I can drink less.

I bought it for you.

Well, don't make a fuss.

I took one from her yesterday.

So I bought her one today.

No need.

We are brothers.

Yes.

Brothers.

We're brothers.

Brothers.

Bro... brothers.

I'm here for you.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

I told the owner of the snack store

I want to buy you ice cream.

♫Hey, what day is it today?♫

But I was afraid it'd melt if I took it here.

♫Can I see you?♫

After school,

go pick one you like.

My treat.

♫Let the heartbeat continue 110♫

♫It's so troublesome♫

♫You haven't got up yet♫

♫You didn't see my message♫

♫Did anyone tell you♫

♫I miss you very much♫

Why did Lu Chen come to you?

♫Hey, what day is it today?♫

To return my papers.

♫Can I see you?♫

♫Let the heartbeat continue 110♫

[Thank you]

♫It's so troublesome♫

♫Love is in vogue♫

♫You still need to be quiet♫

♫Even the moon is awakened♫

♫Even meteors stop♫

♫Love songs are popular♫

♫I'll sing for you♫

♫We need to cultivate our relationship♫

♫I believe you can do it♫

[Fight for the College Entrance Exam]

Get your admission ticket

ready in advance.

Time to enter the exam room.

Line up.

Good luck.

-One by one. -Good luck.

Enter in an orderly manner.

This year's exam is over.

Teaching Grade 12 students is tiring.

The sense of accomplishment gives us motivation.

My sister-in-law.

Congratulations.

I have an appointment with Lu Chen.

I didn't expect you to just come out.

I was saying goodbye to my classmates.

So I came out a bit late.

It's normal.

Now that you've graduated,

it'll be hard for you to see each other again.

Yeah.

How was your exam?

Good.

What about you?

Not bad.

I'll leave you to it.

I'll go home.

[Qiwen Police Academy]

[2009 Admission Letter]

You've been arranging things

in the box since you came back.

Gui Xiao is going home in a few days.

Going home?

She came to live with her aunt

to study here.

The college entrance exam is over.

So she's going to move.

Isn't there summer vacation?

Summer vacation?

She can go

wherever she wants.

Where are you going?

Someone in my family is sick.

I'm going to the hospital.

Why are you here?

I'm just on a drip.

I'll be back later.

You don't have to come here.

I'm free during the holiday, so I came here.

It's okay.

I have a cough.

But I can walk well.

I don't want others to help me to walk.

If they do so,

I feel older.

What's wrong?

Did your parents quarrel again?

Or the admission letter

hasn't come and you're worried?

I received it.

You received it?

Congratulations!

You're brilliant!

Can you make a call for me?

To whom?

Gui Xiao.

Right away.

But what should I say?

What if she doesn't want to come?

Tell her

I asked her to come.

Chen, you're being serious?

I got through.

Hello, Xiao.

What's up?

My grandma is on a drip in hospital.

My cousin and I

are with her now.

Do you want to come?

He asked me to call you.

In the neighborhood?

Yes.

I told him you hate hospitals

and you wouldn't come.

But he said

if I told you he wanted you to come,

you'd definitely come.

Are you coming or not?

Wait for me.

I have nothing to do anyway.

Okay.

She agreed. She'll be here in a moment.

Your mom asked you to go back.

You're still here?

I...

Report to me later.

I'll go to your house for dinner tomorrow.

Report to me then.

You are not going with her?

Huang Ting's mother will be here soon.

Just go back with her.

I'm okay here.

There's only one bag today.

I'll go home after it's finished.

I'll wait for my aunt.

Aunt, I'm leaving.

Do you like me?

How could you ask that?

That's all?

Give me your hand.

I'm going to the Police Academy in another city.

I can't come back often.

I'll call you when I have time.

I'll come back to see you during holidays.

[Lu Zheng Automobile Repair]

I'm a little late.

My mom just came over

to bring me something.

It's okay.

You fell asleep?

No.

Shall we meet tomorrow?

You have something to do at home

or you're going back tomorrow?

I got cut off?

No.

I did it on purpose.

I'll pick you up tomorrow.

Call me

before you leave home tomorrow.

I'll wait for you at home.

Go to bed early.

♫You must have secretly collected♫

♫So much wind and frost♫

♫Waiting to meet someone♫

♫Who can know how to savor♫

♫On a night with wine and wind♫

My cousin, Lu Chen.

Lu Yanchen.

♫Half a moon♫

♫The moon♫

♫You must have wiped it silently♫

♫For a long time♫

♫Knowing that life is silent♫

♫Only have the light when it's like a mystery♫

♫On a night when no one knows♫

♫The breeze goes everywhere♫

♫The breeze♫

♫You must have been there in secret♫

♫To the farthest places♫

♫Bringing back the green plants of summer♫

♫And the fallen leaves of autumn♫

♫On a night when you're dating in the garden♫

♫The pathos of youth is sung♫

♫You must have wiped it silently♫

♫For a long time♫

She left.

And you began to feel upset?

♫Knowing that life is silent♫

♫Only have the light when it's like a mystery♫

Did you tell her

about your transferring back?

♫On a night when no one knows♫

I'm still hesitating.

The order has been issued. Why are you hesitating?

♫The breeze goes everywhere♫

There are things you don't know.

♫The breeze♫

There are things

you don't understand.

♫You must have looked quietly♫

♫Towards where dreams begin♫

♫The sweet spring light♫

♫And the first snow's brightness♫

♫On an unexpected night♫

It's good to go back.

I'll go back.

♫A dim light shines bright♫

♫You must have sailed through♫

♫The sea of destiny♫

♫Kissing the proud waves♫

♫Embracing the crying starlight♫

♫On an uneventful night♫

♫A bowl of nothingness♫
