> Young Babylon Recap
It was the year 2002. While the country continued to develop, Lu Xiaolu's business had expanded to Shanghai. In the elevator, Lu Xiaolu and Bai Lan passed by each other. When Lu Xiaolu reacted and chased after her, Bai Lan had already walked away. Lu Xiaolu rushed to follow, only to see the girl leaving with a man and a child. Lu Xiaolu had no choice but to stop. Li Guangnan was getting married the next day.
Lu Xiaolu rushed back the night before and even brought wedding shoes for Qin Juan from Beijing. Li Guangnan frankly said it was his last single night. Saying this, a few boys decided to celebrate well. In the end, only Li Guangnan and Lu Xiaolu were left sitting on the street drinking.
With the help of alcohol, Li Guangnan said many words of thanks to Lu Xiaolu, but Lu Xiaolu understood that his business wouldn't have been this good without Li Guangnan. Li Guangnan smiled, and both of them felt that their brotherhood was well-spent. Lu Xiaolu was still thinking about something. Li Guangnan asked him if he was still thinking about Bai Lan.
Lu Xiaolu straightforwardly said that he had met Bai Lan in Shanghai some time ago, and that Bai Lan was still wearing a white dress just like when they first met. But Lu Xiaolu also mentioned the scene where he saw Bai Lan with her husband and child. Lu Xiaolu's tone was full of regret, saying that if he had the chance to see her again, he must say three words to her.
Li Guangnan teased whether it was "I love you". Lu Xiaolu said it was vulgar. Li Guangnan suddenly remembered that the wedding shoes hadn't been delivered to Qin Juan yet, so the two of them quickly went to deliver the shoes. When Li Guangnan and Lu Xiaolu arrived in a hurry, Niu Xiaoying blocked the door and wouldn't let Li Guangnan in, saying that the bride and groom shouldn't see each other before the wedding.
Having no choice, Lu Xiaolu said he would go in and deliver them. But when he rushed in, he surprisingly found that Bai Lan was also inside. Lu Xiaolu hurriedly put down the shoes and left. After leaving the door, Lu Xiaolu asked Li Guangnan if he knew about it. Only then did Li Guangnan realize that Qin Juan had invited her.
However, Li Guangnan still advised Lu Xiaolu to let it go, but Lu Xiaolu said that he just wanted to sincerely apologize. - When picking up the bride the next day, Lu Xiaolu kept looking for Bai Lan. He only heard someone say that Bai Lan had gone to attend to her own matters and would go directly to the hotel. Lu Xiaolu had no choice but to get in the car and leave first.
On the way, he chatted with his brothers about Li Guangnan's family situation and incidentally mentioned that Qin Juan's aunt wasn't willing to come to the wedding. Lu Xiaolu thought of something and quickly asked someone to stop the car. Then Lu Xiaolu carried some things and went to Qin Juan's aunt's house. As a result, he found Bai Lan inside persuading her at the door.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaolu went in and worked with Bai Lan, mainly aiming to move Qin Juan's aunt. After saying that, he pretended to leave, but the aunt voluntarily called out to them. So, at the wedding, Qin Juan waited until the last moment for her aunt, and Qin Juan's wedding finally had no regrets. The wedding went smoothly. There was still nothing to say between Bai Lan and Lu Xiaolu.
Bai Lan said that she would leave after the matter was settled. Lu Xiaolu was about to say something else when someone called him away. Bai Lan chatted with Lu Xiaolu's father and only then learned that Lu Xiaolu's mother had passed away. In the evening, everyone went to Li Guangnan's house to celebrate the wedding night. Bai Lan arrived late and had nowhere to hide, so she ended up hiding behind the curtains with Lu Xiaolu.
After it ended, Bai Lan left first. Lu Xiaolu reacted quickly and chased after her. By the time he reached the pier, there was no one there. Lu Xiaolu was very sad. Unexpectedly, Bai Lan stood behind him and called Lu Xiaolu's name. The two started chatting like this. Lu Xiaolu cared about Bai Lan's life over the years. Bai Lan cared about Lu Xiaolu's family, and also about Lu Dajiang.
Lu Dajiang had already been released but was unwilling to stay in Fucheng and would return in two years. Lu Xiaolu believed that Lu Dajiang would also be happy to see his current state. Finally, Lu Xiaolu apologized as he wished. The two reunited after many years, and surprisingly, there weren't many topics to talk about. After only a few sentences, Bai Lan prepared to board the ferry. Lu Xiaolu just stood where he was, watching. He didn't try to keep her, and there was no way to keep her.
