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

I'm so tired, so tired.

It's said the best way to test a couple's compatibility

is to go on vacation together.

I think our birthdates, astrological signs, and blood types

must be incompatible.

This trip has made me so mad.

That's why I've decided to ignore you.

However, I'm certain you'll definitely come up to see me later

to apologize and cheer me up.

Right? Right?

I'm not going downstairs for lunch today.

He'll definitely come up to see me.

It smells so good.

Sweet and sour spareribs! My favorite!

My dad said one must have a backbone.

Better to die in glory than to live in dishonor.

I must not submit because of one meal.

How come he's still not coming to get me?

He should have been here already.

Could he be waiting for me at the door but afraid to ring the doorbell?

Lu Zhi Ang, what are you doing downstairs?

I know! He's just lazy.

He must be too lazy to come upstairs so he must have called me many times.

Yes, yes. I must have many missed calls.

There must be.

Lu Zhi Ang, I'm going to make you regret this.

How come you're here so early? I was just about to go get you.

See? Men just can't be spoiled.

If you ignore him, he'll give in to you.

What? Did you know I was coming so you came to welcome me?

Don't I welcome you every day?

It's just lunch. Why are you dressed like this?

I'm penciling in a perfect period mark for the past.

Hurry on in.

I'll break up with you after I eat.

Sit.

They're all my favorites?

Did you have to make it up to me like this?

Yes, yes, I'm making it up to you. Eat up.

Since you're so cordial

then I'll find it in myself to eat a little.

It's delicious.

Don't forget your important mission!

Break up with him in the most beautiful and elegant way

so he'll feel regret!

Lu Zhi Ang.

I have something to say to you.

Go ahead.

The two of us have known each other for a while now.

You... can cook fine.

Your looks are also passable.

You're also considered good-natured.

Overall, you don't have any major flaws.

But...

Are you listening to me? I said "but".

The following is very important. Pay attention.

I'm listening. Go on.

On the whole, there's just one thing.

You're great, but...

Don't be upset after I say it.

- We're... - Incompatible.

You also know we're incompatible?

- So, we should... - Break up.

We should break--

Are you saying...

you want to break up with me?

Let's break up.

No, no!

I brought it up first. Why do you get to say it first?

Plus, I've never been dumped before.

You can't break my record! Redo! Redo!

No matter which one of us says it, won't the outcome be the same?

It's not the same! How can it be the same?

I'm the one breaking up with you. You're the one being dumped.

It is what you say it is.

Even your cooking has turned bad. It tastes terrible!

Heads, I'll go. Tails, I don't go.

Heads?

Hello? Do you need something?

An important collaborator is coming to the studio today.

Hurry here.

Today? I have class today.

I've checked. It's Wednesday today. You don't have class.

I'm not going.

This is so cute!

This!

Why are you looking at me?

Let's go.

It's really cute! Look at how cute it is!

He really bought it?

Pika, pika.

What are you doing?

Surprise?

I think it's more of a shock.

Who told you to ignore me at the studio?

Didn't you say when girls ignore you, they want someone to cheer them up?

I'm trying to cheer you up.

All right.

Put that suit on.

I'm not doing that.

Hurry up.

All right, fine.

Hello, Qi Qi? What is it?

Xiao Si, you weren't affected by the recent news, were you?

It's fine. It's blown over.

That's good.

This sort of thing happens a lot. I'm already numb to it.

It doesn't matter to me.

I'm just afraid it'll affect your relationship with Li Xia.

It won't. We'll just pretend we don't hear anything.

That's good.

Li Xia isn't unhappy, is she?

She's not. Why don't you talk to her yourself? I'll call her over.

Hi, Carol.

Qi Qi, this rumor came at the perfect time.

Publicity is most important for a newcomer.

These articles are the best way to boost popularity for you and Xiao Si.

This time, it's a win-win for the both of you.

Qi Qi?

Hold on.

Hello, Li Xia?

Qi Qi, this incident isn't your fault.

It's all because of those annoying reporters.

Qi Qi, you need to take care to protect your privacy.

If something makes you unhappy, just shout out

"Jerk paparazzi! Go eat shit!"

I'm going to get back to work now.

Okay. I'm glad you're fine. I'm going back to work too.

- Bye. - Bye.

What did she say?

Qi Qi is a celebrity now but she's still the same as before.

She's still so cute.

Here, I have a present for you.

It's your favorite Lux.

I prepared two sets. We'll leave a set in the office.

What do you think?

Just take them home. Why leave it here?

All right.

Are you still mad?

I'm not.

Really?

It's all disappeared into thin air.

I'm going to call Aron in a bit and tell him about my eyes.

If the art book can't be completed on schedule

I'd like him to be prepared.

But, Xiao Si...

This will be your first work after joining the company.

Everybody is looking forward to it.

News has been released about the charity banquet

and the wire copy has already been prepared.

If there are any last-minute changes

I'm afraid the company will put pressure on you.

I should assume responsibility for my own matters.

Xiao Si.

Do you trust me?

Yes.

Then let me be your eyes.

Just like a cane to the elderly or a rhinoceros mother and her baby.

I'll be your work partner.

I'll help you distinguish between colors.

With your talent and skill

I'm sure there will be no difference in the results of your paintings.

Let's try it.

People often say

when God closes a door, he'll leave a window open for you.

Li Xia, thank you for being my window

and filling my black-and-white world with warm colors.

Finished.

Does it look good?

I think when I bring this to the auction, it will take everyone's breath away.

Really?

Li Xia, thank you for bringing life back to my paintings.

Let me answer this.

Hello.

Really?

That's great.

Okay, I got it. Thank you.

What is it?

It's something a million times more thrilling than winning the lottery.

What is it?

Three, two, one, cheese!

Cheese!

Mom, over the years, I've thought of you all the time.

Your ignorant son has finally fulfilled your dream

and graduated from Waseda University.

If you could see this, you would probably be overjoyed.

From now on, I want to try hard to seek out my own life.

Mom, will you support me?

Zhi Ang!

- Hello, Professor. - Hello.

Zhi Ang, you have exceptional talents.

Not only have you graduated early

you're also outstanding in every field.

I hope you can reconsider my suggestion of

continuing your studies as an Economics graduate student.

It would be a very good path.

We will also give strong recommendations for you to the research institute.

Thank you very much.

However, I already have other plans.

Thank you, Professor.
