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

What right did you have to terminate my lease?

Where am I going to find another place so cheap?

- Come on. - I've resigned. I have no job.

Duan Qiao, stand right here!

Watch out, or I might beat you up.

You can hit me

but when you arrive there, you'll know how stupid you're being right now.

Don't push your luck.

At least don't hit me right now.

You can beat me up when you get there and find you're not satisfied.

Fine, I'll let you be cocky a little bit longer.

- Come on. - Let go!

We're still not there yet?

Almost there.

I only have three more seconds of patience.

We're here, we're here!

I'm taking off your eye mask now.

Don't get too emotional.

What you see right now is not an illusion.

It's a representation of my true feelings.

I'm very happy that my past few months of hard work

could result in a moment of surprise for you.

Will a lifetime of my efforts result in your future happiness?

I want to protect you.

No matter how many brambles cover the road up ahead

I will happily endure them.

What do you think?

Do you like it?

Are we really living here?

The rent must be very expensive.

It's not bad. 1,000 yuan.

That's too expensive!

For a year.

That's fine, isn't it?

I've already asked around.

Nobody will be using this building in the next two years

so I had some basic renovations done.

Look. That's the kitchen and counter over there.

My bedroom is on the first floor. Yours is on the second floor.

Go take a look.

What do you think? Not bad, right?

This was made with pop-tab cans, right?

You noticed?

I made these with recycled pop-tab cans at the convenience store.

Impressive, right?

I didn't decorate your room. You can arrange it how you like.

Now, I'm going to present to you our neighbors.

What neighbors?

The construction site across from us is a project I'm participating in.

I've already thought about it.

After construction of the building is complete

I will try to buy an apartment here.

We can move in together.

Don't worry. I will work hard.

Although it's the same to me no matter where I live

I really like it here.

Thank you.

Let me show you the other rooms.

Come on.

This is your study room.

There's a sandwich in the refrigerator. Remember to heat it up first.

You're up?

There's milk and a sandwich in the refrigerator.

Remember to eat.

By the way, I left some money in your drawer.

Take it if you need it.

Okay.

Just relax at home.

Leave it to the man to earn money.

Haven't you forgotten something?

No.

As the outstanding man of the house

who gets up early to go to the office and works at the convenience store at night

before I leave...

shouldn't I receive a kiss?

Get out of here!

- Bye. - Bye.

Hello.

Assistant Manager Lu, please give me a copy of the detailed agenda

to Fu Xiao Si and Cheng Qi Qi's interview the day after tomorrow.

Isn't that due this afternoon?

Hurry up. I want it now.

Unreasonable.

By the way

don't forget this month's financial statement is due today.

Don't dawdle. Hurry it up.

Make a cup of coffee for me and bring it to my office. Right now.

General Manager Yan, if you're in need of an assistant

then spend money to hire one yourself!

Goodbye.

I don't have time right now.

I said I don't have time right now.

If you need to say something, save it for later.

General Manager Yan, I want time off. This is my leave of absence request.

Assistant Manager Lu, your form leaves much to be desired.

For the reason for absence, you only wrote "family business".

That is so vague.

I'm afraid I can't approve this.

I'm taking my annual leave. That shouldn't be a problem, right?

I don't care how you used to fill out this form.

In any case, this won't be approved by me.

Take it back and redo it.

I really do have personal business.

Anyway, if you don't approve it

then consider me skipping work.

Lu Zhi Ang!

Are you going to go look for Li Xia?

Hello. Do you have somebody here by the name of Duan Qiao?

Yes, he's inside.

Thank you.

It's like this.

There's a big problem with this load-bearing support right here.

Remember to widen and reinforce it.

Safety is very important. You must not cut any corners. Got it?

On the seventh floor, we have some changes to the layout.

After you're done eating, take a look at this new...

Where has Fu Xiao Si gone now?

He comes and goes as he pleases.

You all seem to be bigger big shots than I am.

That's his business. I can't control him.

Bring him back here right now.

The live broadcast is beginning soon.

If anything goes wrong

you won't be able to bear the responsibility yourself.

Just demote me again.

I'm busy. Do as you wish.

Has Xiao Si's program started?

Is he really going to be okay without you?

Xiao Si's not there. I have to check on it.

Where are you going?

Xiao Si is sick! I'm going out for a bit.

Why are you so surprised to see me?

What are you doing? Aren't you sick?

Where are you going?

It's none of your business.

I'm here already. Aren't you going to let me in?

This is my house.

Li Xia, I have something to say.

Xiao Si?

Aren't you sick?

Don't follow me. I want to be alone.

Qi Qi, you can get changed now.

Didn't you hear me?

I want time alone.

I'm going to the parking lot now

to get my own car and go back to my own house.

Are you going to follow me there too?

Qi Qi!

Do you remember me?

We met at an event.

Qianchuan First High School.

I was in Li Xia's class. My name is Luo Xu.

I started a company in the city. I was invited for an interview here.

I knew you were going to be here. I didn't expect to actually see you.

Classmate.

It's been a long time but I'm really busy. Let's talk another time.

These flowers look like they can survive anywhere

but it gives me a headache when they can't get along.

For instance, these roses can't be planted with osmanthus.

If they're placed together, they'll definitely wilt overnight.

However, there are also some things that make me happy.

For example, this orchid.

I've been taking care of it for over half a year

and buds are finally starting to show.

Xiao Si.

Did you have a fight with Li Xia?

No. We're doing really good.

There is a problem.

I knew it. It's written all over your faces.

That's what happened. So now, she's ignoring me and won't see me.

I know my child.

The more she cares about you, the more she wants to avoid you.

Li Xia is soft on the outside but tough on the inside.

If she's being crabby, you can't just encourage her.

You have to beat her at her own game.

Auntie! You cut the wrong part.

Well, since it's like this, let's use it to play the game.

What do you mean?

I learned a new trick on television.

There is only one way to

get a couple to quickly reignite their passion for each other.

It's by breaking them up.

Play along with me.

What is wrong with you?

These flower buds just grew out!

Auntie, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't mean to cut it off. I...

I'm sorry, Auntie.

I only told you to water them. How could you...

These aren't weeds!

How could you? What are you going to do now?

- I... I'll buy you another one. - What will you do?

How are you going to buy--

Mom, he didn't do it on purpose.

Before we leave, we'll buy you a new pot of flowers that are in bloom.

All right, enough. It's not a big deal. Have him do something else.

Let's go.

I didn't tell my mom about your eyes.

Let's eat.

What is this? It wasn't sugar that you handed me.
