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

Xiao Si! Xiao Si!

Xiao Si!

I checked for you! You got into Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts!

Xiao Si, you're amazing!

How come you don't seem happy?

Do you know how happy I am?

You're acting just like your dad.

I... I'm going to call your dad.

I'll have him come home and the three of us can celebrate.

Xiao Si!

I'm so happy!

You don't know how happy I am.

I know.

This is wonderful!

I'm going!

Sorry, the exam admission ticket number you entered does not exist.

Please verify before trying again.

That can't be.

How can it not exist? I put in the correct numbers.

It must have been wrong. Input it again.

Hurry.

Welcome to the National College Entrance Exams results special line.

Please enter your admission ticket number.

Press the pound sign when you are finished.

Entry successful. Please hold on.

The glass window called graduation was finally shattered.

The gate to the whole world was opened to us in a split second.

We once looked forward with all our heart to flying out of our cage

but when this finally arrived, we were at a loss.

We were both excited and afraid.

From now on, our lives won't just have radical signs and square roots.

There will also be the problem of loving and being loved.

Exam candidate, Li Xia.

Accepted at institution: Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts.

Oh my gosh!

Li Xia, did you hear that?

Did I hear it correctly?

You heard it correctly. Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts!

You got into university, silly child!

But if I go to Shanghai, I won't be able to come home often.

That's true. I'll miss you so much when I'm home alone.

Mom, I'll come home often to visit you.

That's a promise then.

This is great!

Mom.

I've fulfilled your wish.

I've been accepted into Waseda University.

Don't worry. I will study seriously.

Honey, our son is grown up. He's mature now.

Don't you worry.

Dad, don't see me off tomorrow. I can leave on my own.

It's no trouble.

Fu Xiao Si and the others will be there. Don't worry about me.

Take care of yourself when I'm in Japan.

Okay.

All right.

Hello, that'll be 8.50 yuan.

Change of 0.50 yuan. Have a good day.

- Please come in again. - Thank you.

I'm taking off.

See you tomorrow. Don't miss me too much.

No way.

You're missing me so soon already?

What is it? Do you need something?

There is something I want your help with.

So...

You want me to help you hide the truth from them?

You know.

Although I've been here a while now, I don't know this city very well at all.

I only know three places.

The place I'm staying, here, and the place where I sing.

I don't know any other place.

I'll definitely be found out when I pick them up tomorrow.

That's it?

You should've said so earlier! I'm an expert at this.

Do you know what my nickname is?

What?

Gourmet Food Search Engine, Human Navigator.

You came to the right person.

I'll go with you to pick them up tomorrow.

As long as I'm there, you won't be found out.

- Really? - Yes.

You have to trust in your teammate.

It's on you then.

We'll be separated. It's going to be weird.

I feel like I'm not prepared.

Li Xia, you can't forget about me when you're in university.

Of course I won't. We're all in fine arts.

There will be exhibitions and whatnot. We'll see each other again.

That's right. There'll also be competitions.

You'd best be ready.

Competition between us will be inevitable.

You're so outstanding. I'll work hard and use you as an example.

Attention, passengers heading to Haneda Airport, Tokyo.

Flight MU271 will be...

I have to go.

Take care.

Remember to reply to my mail.

All right.

When I'm in Japan, everything will unfamiliar.

Maybe I'll even feel lonely and hesitant.

Are you crazy? Do you think you're reciting a poem, trying to be suave?

To be honest, you're the one I'm most worried about.

Take care of yourself.

You're also the one I'm most worried about.

I'll miss you, Qi Qi.

Me too.

The four of us have to be well and take care of ourselves.

Safe travels, everyone.

Take care.

I'm going.

I'm leaving too.

Xiao Si.

Li Xia.

You two have to be happy.

There are more people at university than I had imagined.

If we keep strolling leisurely like this, we'll miss our new student registration.

Besides, aren't you eager to see Yu Jian?

Do you want to make her wait?

Right, she said she'll be bringing along a friend.

She said it's her fan and she can't get rid of him.

His name is Duan Qiao.

It seems she's been doing well in Shanghai.

Now you don't have to worry.

Let's hurry.

Let me help you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Aren't you Yan Mo?

The Yan Mo who beat Fu Xiao Si three years ago?

You are Lu Zhi Ang, aren't you?

I heard you also paint really well but don't normally enter competitions.

You flatter me.

Are you also going down?

No, I'm going up.

- Then I hope I'll see you again. - See you again.

This way.

I finally made it.

What's going on?

Is this how you treat your new owner?

- Yan Mo? - Lu Zhi Ang?

We just said "See you again" and we're already meeting again.

Fate sure wants us to meet.

What a coincidence.

Are you living here?

What's wrong?

I'm living here too.

Do you want to see if you made a mistake?

That can't be.

Let me check my rental agreement.

Okay.

Right here.

It's 606.

It's okay. We're one floor apart. We can look after each other.

I suddenly remember I have some urgent business. I have to go.

Okay, go ahead.

Hurry up.

I promised to welcome them at the restaurant.

- Don't be late. - We're walking so fast. There's time.

Why do you look so nervous?

They're my best friends.

I'm warning you, don't run your mouth. Don't spill anything.

All right, when we get there, I'll say I'm your friend and a fan.

It's been a really long time since I last saw them.

I wonder if they've changed.

You'll get to see them often now that they're here.

The restaurant I picked for you is particularly well-known.

You can have them try the seafood.

If they don't like it, I'll eat you for dinner.

Dig in.

You guys came at the perfect time.

The weather cooled down last week and the crabs are meaty now.

Just a few days ago, you wouldn't have been able to eat them.

Yu Jian, you brought us to such a fancy place.

We really don't want you to spend too much.

When you come to Shanghai, you must eat hairy crab.

Don't worry. I can still afford one meal.

Thank you, Yu Jian.

Yu Jian, you have such a heavy workload now. Is it tiring?

It's manageable.

It doesn't feel tiring to do something I like.

I'm so happy for you. You're halfway to fulfilling your dream.

You can say that.

Oh, right, Yu Jian.

I've been wanting to ask you for an autographed picture.

Have you been too busy with work and forgotten?

I've never seen you on stage before. I kind of regret that.

If you haven't seen it before, you can just ask her fan for it.

I did have some, but they've all been taken by other fans.

You don't know this but Yu Jian has been really popular lately.

One time, she performed at my school.

The entire audience was filled with her fans.

Some fans were losing their voices from screaming.

Her posters covered the outside of the auditorium.

Other than school performances, you must have a lot of commercial performances.

Of course. She also has to record for her album.

Her boss really favors her.

If not for me pestering them as her fan club captain

she would've been dragged off to recording.

Don't mind him. He'll die if he doesn't exaggerate.
