=Young Babylon=

Bai Lan.

Take me away.

Captain Bai Lan

is setting off with passenger Lu Xiaolu.

=Episode 13= =Only One Spot=

Do you need any help?

It's okay.

Get some more sleep.

The breakfast will be ready soon.

The last dish.

Not bad.

Try them.

Try this first.

Fish ball soup.

Doesn't it taste good?

Bai Lan,

although the steak you cooked before

wasn't good,

it's still much better than this fish ball.

How did you know I made the steak?

What do you think?

In Fucheng,

not many cooks would

cook vegetables with roots

or fish with gills.

Then try this.

Alright, no one is forcing you to eat.

Come on.

When you go to Shanghai,

you don't have to cook anymore.

Just leave it to me.

Do you think we'll be able to

successfully make it to Shanghai?

Of course.

If it weren't for you,

I might never take the college entrance exam again.

Since I've decided,

I'll definitely succeed.

Will we have our own home

in Shanghai?

Definitely.

By then,

we'll buy a small television

and a record player.

If you don't want to stay in the house,

I'll take you to eat your favorite

steak and coffee every day.

But you can't eat steak every day.

There's so much delicious food in Shanghai,

like soup dumplings,

pan-fried buns,

and yellow croaker noodles.

We'll try them all.

Yeah,

we should try them all.

Hey, I heard that Shanghai

has built a very tall TV tower.

I really want to go see it.

Sure.

Bai Lan, you may not know that

after my cousin was arrested,

I didn't know

where my life was heading.

Fortunately, I met you,

and for the first time, I feel like my life has a direction.

Will we always be together?

Yes.

Definitely.

I finally have my own home.

No need to tolerate my uncle and aunt's cold shoulders anymore.

Let's celebrate your breaking free from suffering

and gaining freedom with this toast.

Cheers.

By the way,

are you really planning

to not talk to Xiaolu anymore?

He was the one who was being

disloyal and heartless.

He's just pursuing

his own love and life.

What's wrong with that?

Actually, I don't blame him.

I blame myself.

I owe him a lot.

Wait,

you guys are good friends.

How could you

owe him anything?

If I tell you,

will you promise not to hate me?

I have known you for so long.

I won't hate you for anything.

Li Guangnan, you're a jerk!

You said you wouldn't hate me!

I had no choice at the time.

Lu Xiaolu has been so good to you,

and so has Lu Dajiang.

You're just a traitor.

No, come on.

Xiaolu,

you seem energetic today.

You've finished work so quickly.

This is my last shift after all.

I won't come here tomorrow.

Why?

Are you going back to the repair team?

No,

I'm going to take the college entrance exam.

Get lost if you don't want to work!

The factory doesn't need slackers like you.

With your donkey brain,

you think you can make it to college?

What's wrong with going to college?

Going to college is disrupting production,

it's like a parasite in the factory.

Do you know why the efficiency

of the factory is so bad?

It's because of people like him,

they're always

thinking about leaving.

How can they work well like that?

Cut the crap!

Watch your mouth!

Lu Xiaolu, what are you doing?

Do you also want to go to college?

Chen Guowei,

clean up the sugar syrup.

From now on,

you'll carry sacks together

with Lu Xiaolu in the warehouse.

Whose motorcycle is this?

It's mine.

What?

How did you afford a motorcycle?

It's none of your business.

Lu Xiaolu,

let me remind you.

Don't show off too much.

You might fall.

Is that so?

Let's wait and see.

Okay.

Xiaolu,

do you think I'm done for?

It's not a big deal.

I get scolded every day,

but I'm still doing fine.

But I'm not like you.

Your mom is the union chairwoman,

your dad is a factory cadre,

and your cousin is Lu...

Honestly,

I envy you.

My dad passed away early,

my mom's health is poor,

and we have no money at home.

Everything depends on me.

If I don't succeed,

everyone will

look down on me,

including Xiaoying.

But now,

before I could go to college,

I've become a parasite in the factory.

Stop it.

Don't bring that

old fart's words to heart.

For so many years,

you've been the most

dedicated worker in the factory.

It's not your fault that the factory is not doing well.

Is that so?

Big Feet,

you must study hard,

and you must keep going.

You have your future.

He can see the end of his life already.

But how can I study?

I don't even have any books left.

I shouldn't have studied.

If I hadn't studied,

I wouldn't have been distracted and fallen asleep.

If I hadn't fallen asleep,

I wouldn't have forgotten to change the can.

If I hadn't forgotten to change the can,

the syrup wouldn't have spilled.

Don't worry about it.

I have to go clean it up.

I'll go with you.

Really?

Don't take it to heart.

Okay.

What is this?

Don't you understand what I said?

I wanted Buddha Jump and Pickled Bamboo Shoots Fish.

What is this that you've given me?

Those are dishes meant for humans.

- You're not worthy of them! - You...

What?

Now that the factory's in trouble,

yet you're

enjoying lavish meals every day.

If accountability were to be placed,

you'd be the first one to face the axe.

Comrade Niu Xiaoying,

please clarify your words.

Don't accuse others unfairly.

I'll clarify it right now.

You wait.

Xiaoying! Xiaoying!

Why didn't you stop her?

I tried but failed.

Extra! Extra!

Exclusive news!

Do you know

how capable

Director Ding is?

When the price of eggs went up,

even the canteen couldn't get enough.

But his family

were throwing them into the trash can.

Every time the canteen received ten tons of vegetables,

he would take one ton for himself.

Not only did he embezzle,

he also purchased expired food for kickbacks.

Without any evidence,

you are spreading rumors!

Rumors?

Zhang, the food material deliverer,

is a distant relative of yours.

Do you think I don't know what you did?

Last July,

dozens of people in the factory got food poisoning.

Why?

Because he

bought cheap diseased pork from the countryside!

Plus the expired canned goods from this year,

and gutter oil from the year before.

Just the canteen's operations alone,

he's done so many unethical things.

You're the biggest parasite in our factory!

- Well said! - Well said!

This is madness!

Don't listen to her nonsense.

Where are the security guards?

- You are still eating! - Security guards!

You always rely on the security guards!

Xiaoying! Xiaoying! Calm down!

- Don't be impulsive. - Don't resort to violence.

- Don't use violence. - What are you doing, Ding Dezhong?

I know the reason now.

You're defending

Chen Guowei, right?

So what if I am?

You know clearly how many

unethical things you have done.

You tore his book up,

so I'll tear you up!

Nonsense!

I'm telling you all, I will discipline you!

Go ahead and discipline us.

I've been wanting to leave anyway.

Fine, I'll fulfill your wish.

Madman, slacker, rat droppings.

People like you should be expelled.

Xiaoying, calm yourself!

Xiaoying! Xiaoying!

Calm down!

Big Feet!

- Big Feet. - Are you alright?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Xiaoying's hits don't hurt.

Alright.

Here.

Are you okay?

We're almost there.

I don't understand.

Why did you do that?

What benefit does

offending Ding Dezhong bring to you?

I have offended him enough already.

One more time won't make a difference.

He bullied Afang, demoted Bai Lan,

and framed Dajiang up.

I should've settled this score with him long ago.

There's a saying,

"It's easy to deal with a gentleman,

but hard to guard against a villain."

Someone like Ding Dezhong

will make sure to get back at you.

What am I afraid of?

I'm leaving soon anyway.

I will be so far away from him.

Can he reach Shanghai?

What?

You don't think I can pass,

do you?

Believe it or not,

in the two practice exams,

I was first in the whole class.

Really?

See?

That's my son.

My son is smart of course.

If you don't pass this year,

you'll try again next year.

Xiaolu,

it's not that I don't support you,

but you need to be mentally prepared.

For what?

I just received news that

this time the factory

only has one spot

for study in Shanghai.

Secretary Hong!

Secretary Hong!

Secretary Hong is out of town.

What's the matter?

Let me ask you,

is it true that there's only one spot

for studying abroad

this year?

You're well-informed.

Why?

There were always three to five spots available in previous years,

but why not this year?

The factory's performance isn't good this year.

If we lose more workers now,

it'll only make people more unsettled.

Everyone wants to leave.

What will the factory do?

It'll just become an empty shell.

No way.

Don't lie to me.

Call Secretary Hong yourself

and see if it's true.

I know you want to leave.

This place is like stagnant water,

dreary,

oppressive,

suffocating.

Who doesn't want to leave?

But who can escape?

Some things

are destined from birth.

You can't escape,

and neither can I.

What about next year?

Just wait and see.

Everything will only get tighter

as the factory

gets through this rough patch.

How long do we have to wait?

Maybe

next year,

maybe...

Staying here

means forever under the oppressive rule

Only by going to a bigger world

I can't stand it here anymore.

♪This kind of emotion♪

Do you think we'll be able to

(Lu Xiaolu) successfully make it to Shanghai?

Of course.

If it weren't for you,

I might never take

the college entrance exam again.

Will we have our own home in Shanghai?

Definitely.

♪Not buries anymore♪

♪Cause I said♪

♪This is why I stay♪

We were all going direct to heaven.

We were all going direct the other way.

You startled me

like a ghost.

We agreed, didn't we?

Leave the cooking to me at home.

You focus on studying,

revising, and listening to music

and doing things a fairy should do.

Frying a steak is simple.

It'll be ready soon. You go sit down for now.

This is a steak?

There's not much difference between

a thick piece of beef and a steak.

I just can't cut it perfectly round.

You still like it eighty percent well?

There's something I must tell you.

What is it?

Do you know that

foreigners don't eat steak

eighty percent well at all?

Really?

Even you didn't know?

I thought it was just me.

Today, they told me that

foreigners only eat rare,

medium, medium-well,

and well-done steaks.

Wow, you know quite a lot.

That's so troublesome.

Just remember,

don't embarrass yourself

when we get to Shanghai.

Okay, after we get to Shanghai,

I'll stick with you.

I'm wondering,

is the cost of living high in Shanghai?

If you

go to school

and live there,

what about the living expenses?

We can be beggars.

You are so handsome.

So you might be able to make a lot of money.

The steak is done.

Why are you worrying so much today?

You have never been like this.

Nothing.

The exam is just in the next month,

so I thought about

many things that might happen in the future.

Don't worry.

We can always do part-time jobs in Shanghai.

We won't really end up begging on the streets.

Enjoy it while it's hot.

Let me ask you something.

If,

I mean if,

I don't make it to Shanghai,

can you wait for me for another year?

Yes, I can.

You agreed so quickly,

you didn't even ask me why.

As long as you're trying your best,

I'm willing to wait for you.

I'm so relieved.

For what?

For everything.

You are strange today.

Tastes good.

This eighty percent well steak

is surprisingly good.

Because it was made by an amazing chef.

To Shanghai!

To us!

Why are you being so deep?

I'll be back in a few days.

I'm not.

I just want to see you more.

I think you are particularly

beautiful today.

What's wrong with you?

I am beautiful every day.

Yes, you're right,

but today, you look especially chic,

like a little Shanghainese.

Alright, go back now.

Rest well and study for the exams.

Remember to drink more milk.

You too.

I'm leaving now.

You are not leaving?

Hurry up,

you might miss the ferry.

Lu Xiaolu,

good luck on your exam.

We'll go to Shanghai together next time.

Okay.

Bye.

(One month later)

Excuse me, may I pass through?

Thank you.

Hey, Bai Lan,

congratulations! You passed with over 60 points.

(Adult College Entrance Exam Results) Good for you.

Excuse me.

Big Feet?

Have you seen Xiaolu?

I didn't even score 300 points.

There's no way I'll get accepted anywhere.

It's okay.

There's always next year.

Hey, have you heard?

The top scorer in this year's exam

got over 600 points.

Why isn't it listed?

That can't be true. It must be a rumor.

Yeah, it's definitely a rumor.

Oh, buddy,

so what if you didn't do well?

You'll do better next time.

Bro, I'll come back tomorrow.

Okay, come earlier tomorrow.

Okay.

(Video Lounge)

Young man,

you've watched two shows, still not leaving?

The college entrance exam results are out today,

I'm happy.

You finally came back.

Why are you here alone

so late at night?

The results were posted. I've been looking for you all day.

Where were you?

I went to see a movie.

"Naked Killer".

Have you seen it?

It's amazing.

You don't care about your results at all?

Or did you already know the outcome?

I care.

Of course, I care.

I was just afraid I didn't do well,

so I went to the movies.

Don't lie to me.

I called the provincial examination office,

and they said they didn't have your results at all.

Explain this to me.

I didn't write my name.

I really didn't write my name.

There were several questions I couldn't answer

and left blank.

I thought if the results came out

and my name was announced,

it would be so embarrassing.

So I...

You ranked in the top three of the cram school.

How bad could it be?

Okay, I confess.

I confess now.

I went drinking with Li Guangnan.

I got drunk.

The next morning,

my head was buzzing like hell.

How could I do the test?

I definitely wouldn't know anything.

You went drinking the night before the exam.

Did you really not have a clear mind, or do you just not want to leave?

Can you stop lecturing me?

Yes, you're right.

I just don't want to leave.

I don't want to leave Fucheng.

Fucheng is my home.

Li Guangnan and the others are waiting for me to do business.

Here is great.

But Shanghai...

What's so good about Shanghai?

I don't know anyone there.

What would I gain from going to Shanghai?

You are serious?

I bought that cream

specially for you when I went to

take the exam in Shanghai.

I thought you might like it.

It's the hottest brand this year,

and you can't get it anywhere else but Shanghai.

Are you

really leaving like this?

Yeah.

Shanghai is quite far from here, right?

Actually, it's not that far.

If you take a boat

and then a train,

it'll take about two days.

Oh, by the way,

I don't need these stuff anymore.

Can you help me dispose of it?

You don't want any of these things that are still usable?

I want to leave behind some memories

and not take them with me.

What about me?

After you go to Shanghai,

will you forget about me?

Don't be silly.

Once I settle down there,

I'll write to you and call you.

It's a promise.

Promise.

Let's hug.

Have you heard?

We're all working overtime tonight to catch up on production.

The factory can't pay wages.

Why is she back again?

Maybe she failed making a living out there.

Why does she look like she's been fired?

Someone with no conscience like her

deserves to be fired.

The other day I heard,

she got a job in the bureau.

How did she end up back here?

She's superficial

and lacking in integrity.

I've always thought she was like this.

Exactly.

She looks like that kind of people.

(Dajiang Entertainment City)

Let me tell you,

it's fate that made you stay.

Are you

feeling a bit smug now?

Xiaolu, I do not understand

why you can't just explain things clearly to her.

What should I say?

Should I tell her that

I gave up my spot for her,

so she'll feel guilty

and grateful to me forever?

Have you thought about

taking the exam again next year?

Of course I have.

But who knows if there will even be a spot

available next year?

I can't let her hold onto uncertain hope

and wait for me.

Besides,

even if I could go to Shanghai next year,

she might not accept me anymore.

You see, you're quite clear-minded about this.

There's a saying,

when fate arrives, accept it.

If you can't go to Shanghai,

let's focus on running our business well.

Who needs that degree?

We can still make money.

Come on.

But are you feeling upset

about not going to Shanghai?

Are you trying to get yourself drunk?

Drink.

Li Guangnan,

I've had enough of you

always talking about money.

Look at you.

Can't you have some higher aspirations?

Lu Xiaolu,

do you know that I'm fed up with you too?

Your mouth is full of ideals

and dreams.

And you want to go to a big city.

What's so good about big cities?

You bumpkin,

you know nothing.

So what if I'm a bumpkin?

And what about you?

Do you think you're some celestial crane?

Let me tell you,

you're

at most just a

decent rooster

that

wants to fly high.

See?

You are down on the ground.

I'll tell you,

even if I'm a rooster, I'm a fighting rooster.

The two of us together are a team.

What team?

Bumpkin Rooster Stew!

What are you saying?

But sounds delicious.

Li Guangnan,

actually, staying here isn't bad at all.

You're right.

I was being heartless before.

It's not that you're heartless.

It's that you were too sentimental.

I was the one being heartless.

You and Dajiang

treat me so well,

yet I betrayed you.

Not just Little Pouter who looks down on me,

I look down on myself too.

What are you saying?

What do you mean?

I, Li Guangnan,

as an employee of the skating rink,

under Lu Dajiang's command,

engaged in illegal activities.

Now, I admit my mistakes

and report to the authorities,

hoping for leniency.

What are you saying?

They forced me to do it.

Otherwise, both of us would end up in jail.

Xiaolu, I'm begging you.

You jerk!

I treated you like my best brother.

How could you do that to me?

My cousin treated you like his own younger brother.

How could you do that to him?

Wretch!

Jerk!

Wretch!

Jerk!

Wretch!

Xiaolu,

I owe you so much.

As long as I have

something to eat,

I will never forget you.

From now on,

we are not friends anymore.

Dad,

I want to continue cooking for him.

Li Guangnan,

what's wrong with you?

How did you get injured like this?

What?

I

told Lu Xiaolu about it.

He told me

he'll never forgive me.

For over ten years,

Lu Xiaolu was my only friend.

But he told me

I'm not his friend anymore.

Why?

I desperately

try to

keep all of you here,

but why don't any of you want me?

Why?

What did I do wrong?

I will be with you.

I'll always be there for you.

What's that sound?

The boiler exploded.

Poisonous gas!

Come down quickly.

Hurry, hurry, run!

Earthquake, earthquake!

It's an earthquake!

- Hey, Xiaolu. - Mom, what's wrong?

People are running out due to the explosion,

why are you running inside?

Dad, Mom, you go first, hurry.

- Where are you going? - You go first.

Why do you want to go in there?

Xiaolu, are you trying to kill yourself?

Mom, go, go!

You crazy kid,

where are you going?

Bai Lan,

have you lost your mind?

It's exploding and you're not running away.

Are you afraid of death?

Aren't you afraid of death?

I'm not afraid of death,

but you're afraid of even going to Shanghai.

Coward.

Bai Lan,

I love you.

Xiaolu,

I'm sorry.

Why apologize?

(Gongyuan)

I've figured it out.

I was wrong from the beginning.

I shouldn't have disrupted your life

and taken away your happiness.

You belong here.

Maybe here is where you can

truly be yourself,

but I don't belong here.

So in the end, we have to part

and return to our own worlds.

(Safety First)

Hey, comrade.

Wait, wait.

- Have all the passengers boarded? - Yes.

We're ready to set sail.

Comrade,

please do me a favor.

I want to order a song

dedicated to someone.

Hmm, go ahead.

Bai Lan!

Bai Lan!

Bai Lan!

Dear passengers,

greet you

and wish you a pleasant journey

and a safe trip.

Next, we'll play a song

ordered by someone

for his friend,

Bai Lan.
