You are a mark of memory.
Love comes quietly.
I paint you without knowing.
You are a diary in my heart.
Sometimes, it can be casual.
Sometimes, every word is remembered clearly.
I search to meet you by chance.
I'm most willing to lose to you.
Your love is irreplaceable.
Untie all the knots in your mind. Tell me.
This dream finally ends now.
This moment is when
the fragrance of flowers pervades the sky.
The air seems to deliver electric shocks.
The faces look elated.
Waiting as the wind blows over.
Love arrives. The whole season
believes in the fable of happiness.
Until the end.
Tomorrow is going to be wonderful.
The Chang'An Youth
Episode 14
Your Highness,
although Shangyi School has won an event
and lost an event,
noting impressive as it's just a draw,
Second Prince will definitely win the mathematics event
that will be held next.
Of course.
Our Great Yu won't lose to
a small country like the East Kingdom.
His Majesty pays close attention
to this competition.
When His Majesty heard that Shen Dieyi won,
he commended Shen Dieyi
for being clever.
Shen Dieyi is just a student.
What trouble can he cause?
I'm worried that
His Majesty will go and watch
the mathematics event.
Alright. I will go as well.
Why is Ning Xiang still not here?
The prestige of the Five Scholars of Shangyi School
has spread across Chang'An.
If Second Prince wins the mathematics event,
His Majesty
might have a higher opinion of him.
Yeah.
You are right, Lord Han.
Then what do you suggest?
Make him unable to compete.
Are you going to kill him?
No.
That's too risky.
Give him a small injury.
It's enough to make him unable to compete.
Then I count on you, Lord Han.
Your Highness.
If Second Prince can't compete,
Shangyi School will lose without doubt.
And you, Your Highness,
you can do the East Kingdom's ambassadors
a favor.
Very well. I'll leave this job to you, Lord Han.
I'll start working immediately.
Rou.
Take the medicine,
or you would die.
Xinyuan!
What happened?
A masked person tried to assassinate me.
Fortunately, Dugu saved me.
Where is Dugu?
He went that way.
Come on.
Let's go after him.
Come on.
Slowly.
Dugu!
Where is the assassin?
Gone.
Xinyuan,
why would the masked person try to assassinate you?
Because of tomorrow's event.
So tomorrow's event is the reason for
the attempted assassination.
Dugu!
He's hurt.
Hurry, find the doctor.
Help Dugu get back.
I'll find the doctor.
Doctor,
what is the diagnosis?
The wound is deep, but the vital organs are unhurt.
I have dressed his wound.
Remember to change his dressing every day.
Don't rip open his wound.
His wound looks poisoned.
But oddly,
Dugu doesn't act like he is poisoned.
It's pretty late.
Now that Dugu's wound has been dressed,
you should leave now, doctor.
Alright.
Thank you, doctor.
Such a serious wound.
That person in black
is just ruthless.
Dugu.
It's my fault that
you're heavily injured.
If not for you,
I might be dead now.
I owe you my life.
Don't mention it.
Dugu.
Did you see where the person in black went?
Ran away.
Then did you discover any information?
Dieyi.
Dugu is heavily injured today.
And it's late night.
Ask him next time.
Yeah. It's so late.
Xinyuan, you need to compete tomorrow.
You should go back to your room.
I will take care of Dugu.
That's right, Diviner.
Dugu took a stab for you.
You must do well in tomorrow's event
unless you want to fail him.
Okay.
I'll head back now.
Dugu.
The kindness you showed me today
will always be kept in my mind.
Tangtang.
Maybe you should leave too.
I should leave?
What about you?
I'll stay and take care of Dugu.
You will stay?
I should stay.
It's inconvenient for you to stay.
Why is it inconvenient for me?
Tangtang.
Let's get back.
Dieyi.
We'll leave Dugu to you.
Dugu.
Please trust us.
Tangtang.
Let's go.
Dieyi.
Maybe I should stay with you.
You haven't recovered yet.
Besides, you are too chatty.
You would annoy Dugu.
Go now.
Zi'an, send him off.
Take care.
Go back.
You should go to bed early.
It's okay.
I'm not tired.
Your shoulder must be sore.
Let me rub it.
My shoulder is fine.
You carry so much burden alone.
There's no way you aren't tired.
Dugu.
You told me that
we are confidants for life.
No matter what happens to you,
I'll always be on your side.
Therefore,
if you may give a small portion of
your burden to me...
I look thin,
but I can carry a lot of things.
Yiyi,
let me tell you a story.
I have always
been an orphan.
I was born in the borderland.
I was adopted by a general
and grew up in the barracks.
I didn't have many friends.
I remembered that one day,
my adoptive father adopted another orphan,
a little girl.
Her name was...
Dugu.
Look, is this flower beautiful?
Yes, Rou, it is beautiful.
My adoptive father
adopted us in wartime,
so we can serve Great Yu in the future.
However...
Sugar-coated haws!
Brother, I want sugar-coated haws!
Okay.
Wait here. I'll buy it for you.
This one.
Here.
Thank you.
Boss, one skewer of sugar-coated haws, please.
Which one do you want?
This one.
Let me go!
Thank you.
Sister!
Rou!
My adoptive father made two wishes before he passed away.
One is
for the turbulent borderland to be pacified
and the other one is
for me to find Rou.
It's all my fault.
I lost Rou because of my carelessness.
Rou, where are you?
Over so many years,
I thought I would never find her.
But I recently found that
she might be near me.
Take the medicine,
or you would die.
But
she is not the Rou I know.
I don't know what to do.
If she truly means
so much to you,
I think you should trust her.
Maybe she has her own reasons.
Her own reasons.
Folks,
today we are holding the mathematics event.
The two participants
will challenge each other with mathematical problems.
The problems and answers can be provided orally, in written form
or with objects.
The participant who answers correctly and swiftly
will win.
Any participant who fails to
answer within the specified time limit
or answers wrongly
will lose.
I hope Diviner can give a steady performance today
without letting yesterday's episode affect him.
He is going to be fine.
Our Second Prince has experienced enough ups and downs.
Each participant will choose a side.
I will flip the coin.
The participant who chooses the right side
will be the first to challenge.
No need.
Those who came from another country are our guests.
A guest should be entitled to make the first move.
After you.
Alright.
I hereby
announce that
the event starts now.
There are objects. The number of objects is unknown.
If we divide the number by 3, there will be 2 objects left out.
If we divide the number by 5, there will be 3 objects left out.
If we divide the number by 7, there will be 2 objects left out.
What is the number of objects?
It's 23.
The pagoda is seven-story high.
Red lanterns hang on the pagoda. The number of lanterns doubles every time the floor number decreases.
There are 381 red lanterns in total.
How many red lanterns are there on the top floor?
Three red lanterns.
A good walker can take 100 steps.
A bad walker can take 60 steps.
Now the bad walker takes 100 steps.
Then the good walker starts to race the bad walker.
How many steps does the good walker need to take in order to catch up with the bad walker?
250 steps.
Erlang goes out to buy liquor with a pot in his hand.
Every time he sees a liquor shop, he doubles the amount of liquor. Every time he sees a flower, he drinks a dou of liquor.
After he finds three liquor shops and three flowers, all the liquor in his pot is imbibed.
How much liquor did he have in the beginning?
7/8 dou.
A field is 12 steps wide and 14 steps long.
What is the field's area?
168 steps.
There are chickens and rabbits in a cage. They have 35 heads
and 94 feet in total.
How many chickens and rabbits are there in the cage?
12 rabbits and 23 chickens.
Please provide your next problem.
It's all happening so fast.
I didn't even have time to remember the problems.
How did they calculate the numbers?
Abacus mental calculation.
It's putting an abacus in your mind.
And no matter what the problems are,
you should manage to calculate the numbers quickly.
Xinyuan
is really impressive.
He's so good.
Xinyuan's mathematical ability is incredible,
but the ambassador is not to be underestimated.
I'm afraid it's a close game.
Please cut this cake for five times.
You must make sure the cake
can be shared by 20 people.
Cut it for five times?
Um...
I have a question.
Must I cut the cake into 20 pieces
with the same size and shape?
No. Just cut it into 20 pieces.
I can't believe how simple it is.
Brilliant.
Diviner deserves his name.
You are smart indeed.
Please provide your next problem.
Great Yu has always had a nine-grid game.
I have humbly
reinvented the game
into these
nine interlinked grids.
Now please
write down numbers in the blank grids
according to the known numbers on the board.
Make sure every blank grid on every row and column
contains nine numbers from 1 to 9
without repetition.
I've seen Diviner's nine-grid game before.
It's really difficult.
The East Kingdom's ambassador
won't be able to answer correctly.
I have
lost.
Yay!
The East Kingdom's ambassador is just so-so.
You excel at mathematics.
I've been puzzled by
a difficult problem.
And I hope to ask you.
If you can answer it correctly,
I will be
convinced of my defeat.
Hey,
just admit your defeat!
What's with the extra problem?
Quiet.
Let's wait and see.
Please tell me.
Put rice grains on this board.
Every time you put rice grains in a grid,
the number of rice grains must double compared to that in the last grid.
In which grid will the number of rice grains
exceed 100 million?
If he puts all the rice grains on the board,
he won't be able to count the rice grains.
This problem has no solution.
No solution!
How many grids does the board have?
How can it possibly hold 100 million rice grains?
Yeah.
I have been puzzled by this problem for years.
No one in my country can calculate the numbers.
I'd like to see
whether Great Yu's scholars can find the correct answer.
I got it.
It's in the 28th grid
that the number of rice grains will exceed 100 million.
How can you prove it?
In the 3rd grid,
2 doubles and becomes 4.
In the 4th grid,
2 doubles twice and becomes 8.
And so on.
When 2 doubles 27 times,
the answer
becomes 134,217,728
rice grains.
It's a number higher than 100 million.
27 grids plus the 1st grid
in which only 1 rice grain is put.
Therefore in the 28th grid,
the number of rice grains will exceed 100 million.
Brilliant.
The Great Yu's student has great wisdom.
I'm convinced of my defeat.
The winner of the mathematics event,
the third event of the competition,
is Shangyi School.
Terrific!
Awesome!
Shangyi School!
Your Majesty.
Speak.
Congratulations to you, Your Majesty.
News just came in.
Second Prince won the event.
The East Kingdom's ambassador
failed to answer his problem.
In the end, the East Kingdom's ambassador provided a problem
and said nobody in the East Kingdom could solve that problem.
Then Second Prince
solved that problem.
Good.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
It shows Great Yu is blessed.
That old goat!
How did he do his job?
Not only did my second brother
participate in the event without a scratch,
but he crushed his opponent!
What happened?
Get out, all of you!
Get out!
Get out, all of you!
Get out!
Dugu,
what a pity you didn't watch Diviner win the game.
He was so good.
He stunned all of us.
Tangtang.
You are exaggerating.
Don't be modest.
We didn't know
you were so good at mental calculation.
Being a prince
must have stopped you from
finding your true calling as an accountant.
So you remember Xinyuan is Second Prince.
So what?
Xinyuan,
when I open a restaurant,
you may come and work as my accountant
if you ever feel bored.
Okay.
I can be your accountant.
But my expected salary is not low.
How much salary do you want?
What I truly want is that
you could...
Xinyuan.
It's a good chance to rob him.
Don't go easy on him.
He can owe me for now.
I should thank
Dugu for this.
If not for Dugu,
I might be dead by now.
I'm glad you won.
The swordsmanship event will start soon.
Dugu.
Can you compete like this?
Yeah.
How can you compete?
It's my fault.
You are not the one to blame.
Any of us would have saved you
if we had seen you in danger.
You talk too much for a cripple.
Am I wrong?
Don't worry.
I don't want more people to know about my injury.
I will do my best to win the event.
During this competition,
Tangtang got his leg hurt.
Dugu is injured too.
The East King's mission
is like
a jinx.
I should take some time to divine.
Dugu.
We have faith in you.
Master.
Please let me explain.
Explain?
What is there for you to explain?
The thing about Censor Tu heavily disappointed me.
Then you screwed
things up this time
completely.
Had I thought
you still are of some use,
I'd condemn you to the netherworld where Censor Tu is staying.
I have learned my lesson.
It was really you.
Dugu Muxue.
I told you
girls can't practice martial arts.
Now you're hurt.
It will leave a scar on you.
No. I want to practice martial arts.
So nobody will be able to bully me.
I don't care about scars.
I will protect you in the future.
Go!
You...
Go!
I shared a boat with you on the water.
We go our separate ways after reaching the shore.
You are still the same.
Unfortunately,
I'm not the same Rou anymore.
This pair of hands are stained by blood.
Now I'm on my own path.
We are destined to live in two different worlds.
Is Dugu going to
be okay in today's event?
He can do it. I believe in Dugu.
His injury is too serious.
It's difficult for him to win.
Folks,
the swordsmanship event between Shangyi School
and the ambassadors starts now.
Dugu, go get it!
The Great Yu's swordsman
is mediocre at best.
Dugu!
I hereby announce that
the swordsmanship event
is won by the ambassador.
Thank you for naming my dishes.
I have made dessert for you.
You can eat it if you get hungry at night.
But don't eat too much,
lest it should affect your performance in tomorrow's event.
Do your best in tomorrow's event.
I have faith in you.
This event
is the last of the five events,
the weiqi event.
Shangyi School's participant
and the mission's participant
will memorize the boards
within the specified time limit
and play five games at the same time with blindfolds over their eyes.
The stone placer will place the stones
as the two players instruct.
The player who wins 3 out of 5 games
will win the event.
Zi'an is going to play 5 games at the same time with a blindfold over his eyes.
Can he win?
Have you forgotten Zi'an's standings?
I believe in him.
Are you ready, players?
Now you may guess the stone.
Judge,
I'm a citizen of Great Yu.
Great Yu is a state of ceremonies
known for its hospitality.
The ambassador should take the black stones
and make the first move.
If both of you agree on that,
you may be seated.
Come,
blindfold the two players.
The event starts now.
First.
Upper.
Four Five.
First.
Inner.
One Five.
Second.
Upper.
Three Eight.
Second.
Inner.

Third.
Upper.
Three Seven.
Third.
Inner.

The ambassador's style
is cunning.
He strengthens his force
and arranges an ambush in the white corner.
The white stones have a damaged shell and can't withdraw.
There's no room for compromise.
Fourth.

Four Five.

I announce that

is won by the ambassador.
The event continues.
First.

First.

Second.
Outer.
Ten Three.
I have set a trap here.
If he places a stone to cut my connection,
his force will be in danger
and victory will be mine.
The black stones have been cautious
and mercurial.
My opponent's weiqi skill isn't inferior to me.
I can't predict his movement.
Should I cut his connection?
His opponent has set a trap.
He must be cautious.
He can't cut the connection.
To win the event,
I have to take the risk.
Second.
Upper.
Two Six.
I can't believe Great Yu
sent such an inferior player to play against me.
How ridiculous.
Oh, Yang Zi'an!
What is wrong with him?
He just fell into an obvious trap.
The school should let me play.
Can you two quiet down?
Shut up.
Xinyuan.
Is Zi'an...
Even Zhaocai and Jinbao can see through the trap.
Why would Zi'an fall for it?
He simply has other motives.
Dieyi, look.
When Zi'an created his layout, his force was ferocious
and his every move was fatal.
Outer.
Nine Seven.
The ambassador thought he understood Zi'an's layout.
So he set a trap and invited Zi'an.
Outer.
Six One.
Zi'an's stones in Outer Nine Seven
and Inner Seven Two
can be offensive or defensive.
Zi'an appears to be trapped.
But he actually limits his opponent's possibilities.
The ambassador will definitely pursue and attack him.
All the following moves
will be under Zi'an's control.
I will...
How come the situation suddenly changes?
I have nowhere to attack.
Where should I place my stone?
First.
Outer.
Three Five.
First.
Inner.
Four Six.
I announce that
the first game
is won by Shangyi School.
I was careless enough
to let you win.
There are three games left.
The third and fourth games have unclear situations.
I should focus on the second game.
Second.
Average.
Two Nine.
It seems
the first part of Zi'an's strategy works well.
Now let's see how the second part does.
Zi'an allowed his opponent to win the fifth game easily.
Then he fell into the trap on purpose
to make his opponent underestimate him.
Then he gave his opponent a back thrust
and won a game.
He irritated his opponent greatly.
Second.
Outer.
Second Eight.
So, this guy pretended to have fallen into my trap,
shifting my attention to this game.
He made arrangements secretly.
No matter how hard I fight now, I can only achieve a draw.
It'll do me harm if I continue to waste my time on this.
I have to count on the last two games.
Judge,
I request to end the second game
in a draw.
Does Shangyi School's player agree to end the second game in a draw?
I announce that
the second game ends in a draw.
The event continues.
Third.
Upper.
Four Six.
Fourth.

There's no way to turn the tide now.
Fourth.
Damn!
Useless.
Get lost!
How can it be?
Why?
How can this be?
How can it be?
Why?
Weiqi
is about something more than skills.
Don't be impatient.
Yay!
My prince!
I mean... the god of weiqi.
The prince of weiqi!
I lost.
I lost not only the weiqi games,
but also my mind level.
If circumstances allow,
I hope we can
play weiqi again.
The two players have
played fantastic games.
As the saying goes,
"The nineteen roads
can be smooth or steep.
When some factors aren't taken into account,
even the national champions can lose."
I announce that
Shangyi School is the winner!
Good!
Yang Zi'an!
Tangtang!
My foot!
- How are you? - Are you okay?
We won!
How are you, Tangtang?
Come on.
My foot.
Your foot is not healed yet.
Don't move.
Is it hurting again?
Xinyuan.
You should take him back.
Okay.
What about you?
I'll wait here for Zi'an.
Be quick and visit me.
I will visit you soon.
Come on.
Slowly.
Here.
Shangyi School won!
We won!
Dieyi.
Zi'an, you are amazing!
Dieyi, you...
I...
I was too excited.
Look back at that day.
Memories slip through time.
Caress your face in the air.
For a moment,
it's partly visible.
Thinking about you day and night.
Many scenes
come to mind.
Time stops.
Hard to sleep.
How I wish to tell.
From the day I met you,
my world has been all about you.
Maybe
every time we pass by each other,
we do it because destiny says so.
How to bury the past between me and you?
How I wish to tell.
From the day I met you,
my world has been all about you.
The figure
blurs in the wind.
The smile is flowery.
Right now, all I want to say is
I love you.
