Love 'til the End of Summer (Rush to the Dead Summer / Xia Zhi Wei Zhi / 夏至未至)

I'm so happy.

It's been a long time since I've done this.

I really should thank Ding Yi Yang.

After this is over, there will be a chance to explain.

It can't be clarified.

If a piece of paper has a stain

it can only be covered up by other colors.

However, the stain will always be there.

Don't mind those who blindly believe in rumors.

You don't need their approval.

I'm in no hurry to obtain their approval either.

It's just that I must not fall.

If I fall, Li Xia and the studio staff will worry even more.

Fu Xiao Si, look at me.

Do you have eye boogers?

I hate it when you take on everything by yourself and don't say a thing.

Do you even think of us as your friends?

What crazy rant are you going on now?

Don't worry.

I will stay with you the same way you stayed with me.

That's so corny.

What's that shining in your eyes? Are you being shy?

You're shy!

I'm so beautiful.

Yet, I have to pursue Lu Zhi Ang?

I'm even delivering food to him?

Are you kidding me?

Long time no see.

Posters of you are everywhere.

It'd be difficult for me not to see you.

They're just the company's routine promotions.

There's no helping it. I have to cooperate.

Of course.

But next time, you can tell your digital retouching artist

your face on the posters just look...

a bit fake.

Your heels are so high. Beware of slippery floors.

Without my heels, I'll still be me.

What about you?

Without the halo of your celebrity status

what are you left with?

I'm at the office.

I brought french fries and your favorite Americano for you.

Where are you?

I'm with Fu Xiao Si. It might be really late when I get back.

Lu Zhi Ang, do not fret.

Lu Zhi Ang, where are you hiding?

How come she still isn't back yet?

Sorry, I'm back so late.

It smells good. What are you making?

They're your favorites.

Do you need help?

No, just have a seat.

I'll take them to the table.

What's wrong?

Are you unhappy?

No, I'm feeling great.

If you're unhappy, tell me about it. Let me cheer you up.

Nothing's wrong.

The fish tastes weird today.

Yes, there's too much vinegar. It's too sour.

No wonder it tastes so good.

There needs to be more vinegar. It was too bland before.

This actually isn't beef. It's spareribs.

Yes, they're spareribs.

Your eyesight isn't any good.

You're a poor judge of food and even worse at judging people.

It's a mass of black and brown. Who can tell what it is?

What's the matter with you today? Depressed? You're being so strange.

I'm doing just fine.

What happened to your hand?

From anger.

From anger?

You got hurt when you were angry? Why?

Let me take a look.

Who is so bad as to injure our good-natured Duan Qiao?

You.

I just realized you're quite oblivious.

What did I do?

Why did you come home with a man?

And you two were acting so close.

So everything you just said, bad eyesight, oblivious, vinegar

was for this reason?

Yes.

You have a way with words now.

What do you mean?

Was that not what I saw?

I went to a former coworker for advice about Xiao Si's matter.

I was supposed to escort him home

but because I'm a woman, he escorted me home.

So he sent you home. What right did he have--

to make such an intimate move on you?

There was a worm on my shoulder. He brushed it off.

We have a very clean and honest relationship. Understand?

What did you think it was?

I really don't know what you're thinking.

I'm sorry.

I thought you were quite easy-mannered.

It turns out you don't trust me at all.

I always feel I'm not good enough.

I'm afraid you'll choose someone better than me.

Because...

I'm really afraid of losing you.

That's why I'm so nervous and petty.

Duan Qiao.

I've decided to be with you because I like you.

That won't change because of external factors.

I like you for you.

So, you have to trust in me.

Stop worrying, silly kid. I will take responsibility for you.

Let's eat.

Okay, okay. I know you've been working hard.

If the book signing is put off

wouldn't it appear like he's admitting he did it?

Why are you so worried about it?

What does Fu Xiao Si's business have to do with you?

How does it not?

If Fu Xiao Si can't have his book signing, he'll be unhappy.

If he's unhappy, Lu Zhi Ang will be unhappy.

If Lu Zhi Ang is unhappy, then I won't get to go on dates with him.

Enough, dear. You're talking my head off.

Just promise me.

If necessary, I'll pay for the book signing.

Just deduct it from my allowance for handbags. Okay?

I already told you this isn't a matter of money.

The company isn't mine alone. Director He also has a say.

There are a dozen eyes watching my every move.

Besides, the Fu Xiao Si scandal hasn't been clarified yet.

If he has a book signing at this time

do you know how much the company will be risking?

Dad, I know you have your difficulties.

I won't force you to take a side.

However, the media frenzy has already blown over.

Moreover, Fu Xiao Si also needs the company's trust.

Just make this tiny, little concession.

Can't you?

No.

Yan Da Zhuang!

Fine! You'll be losing an employee and a daughter!

And a son!

Yan Mo, have you had enough?

I normally spoil you quite a lot

but the company has its own rules.

You can't be so willful all the time.

Anyway, even if you flush your brother down the toilet this time

I still won't agree.

Fine, fine!

Since you don't care about your daughter's feelings

then I'm moving out!

Don't come looking for me. I won't be coming back!

Get back here!

No matter what

I'm going to announce to the company tomorrow as general manager of Marketing

that the book signing has been approved.

If you send your minions to stop me, I'll be battling them head-on!

Hello, it's me.

If anything about Fu Xiao Si's book signing

is announced at the office tomorrow

I'll be turning a blind eye.

If Director He asks about it

just tell her I'll take full responsibility.

All right.

Let's go over our promotional strategy for this book signing.

The next day, everybody was pleasantly surprised to learn

the book signing would be held as scheduled.

Even though the company did not publicly show their support

this was already the best news we could have.

Zhi Ang and Yan Mo worked several days and nights straight

on a plan for the book signing.

- We don't have to go to these events. - Okay.

Qi Qi also adjusted her schedule

and was determined to make time to perform at the book signing.

And I, with Yu Jian and Duan Qiao's company

flew to many cities

and asked fans to write down their words of encouragement for Ji Si

on a white canvas we had prepared with the utmost care.

The road may be paved with difficulties

but what does it matter?

My only hope is that this can be the best present we can give to Xiao Si.

Move this way.

Fu Xiao Si and Li Xia can't make it. We're the laborers today.

You're shameless to say that. You've been standing the whole time!

Have I?

I should be more like Duan Qiao.

Move it in a little more and then rotate it this way a little bit.

Just a little more. Keep it close to this side.

Hello, Qi Qi?

How is it going on your end?

We're almost wrapped up. The autograph board is ready.

Okay, I'll be bringing a few reporters that I'm on good terms with

and have a simple interview done.

An article will be released at 9 p.m. to publicize Xiao Si's book signing.

Okay, come soon.

I'll be there soon. Bye.

Take a look. Is that okay?

Yes, no problem.

Xiao Si, you will shine brightly tomorrow.

Who did that?

Qi Qi is here.

- Qi Qi. - Hello.
