[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 at 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.

[2009] Slow down.

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.

But I don't want it to melt on my way up here.

Go pick one you like after school.

My treat.

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.

Lu Yanchen.

And you began to feel upset?

About your transferring back?

The order has been issued. Why are you hesitating?

You don't understand.

I'll go back.
