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

Tails. We'll turn right when we leave.

Let's go.

Xiao Si, didn't you say you were hungry?

I saw a place selling buns. I'll be right back.

Miss, you're so lucky. These are the last two buns.

- Thank you. - All out again?

I'm sold out for the day. Come again tomorrow.

Miss, can I speak with you?

My son is really hungry.

Can you... sell a bun to me? I'll pay you.

You don't need to pay me. I'll just give it to you.

You don't need to be so generous. One is enough.

Thank you. You're my son's savior.

You're so kind. You're sure to have a promising future.

Where is your son?

Hold on.

Son, my son. Come out to meet someone.

Thank your savior for your dinner.

Thank you, Sister. Thank you.

- This is your son? - Yes.

It's really picky. It loves to eat the meat buns from this place.

And only the buns with meat filling.

What did you call it?

Its name is Diu Diu.

I took it home or else it would have been thrown away.

All right, Miss. Thank you. I'm taking my son home to eat dinner.

It's nothing.

All right, let's go home for dinner, son.

Doesn't it smell good?

How come it took you so long?

Something amusing just happened.

I just met a very interesting person.

Interesting?

Interesting how? More interesting than I am?

Xiao Si, I've been wanting to ask you something.

Out of all these people, how come you chose me?

I'm really... very ordinary.

I'm the type who would

disappear in three seconds if thrown into a sea of people

You're not ordinary at all.

In my eyes, you are one of a kind.

A lot of people like me

but the person they like isn't really me.

The one they like is the Fu Xiao Si they imagine me to be

the perfect Fu Xiao Si.

While I...

always like to stay up late, have dark eye circles

have a bad temper, and don't like to smile at others.

Only you have seen my true self and can tolerate my imperfections.

So, in my eyes

you are one of a kind.

Eat up.

Carry on.

Excuse me, do you have an art book called "Country of Burning Flowers"?

We don't have that book right now.

You don't have it? Then will you have it later?

You must be a fan of Ji Si.

That book is selling so well.

We sell out as soon as it hits the shelves. We're at a loss too.

The publisher is waiting for more copies as well.

If you can't wait, then leave your number at the front desk.

- Okay, thank you. - You're welcome.

Hello?

Hi, Xiao Si. I can't buy your book.

Because...

Because it's sold out!

Why were you so concerned? Were you that worried my book won't sell?

Of course. You put so much work into this book.

I want to know how it's doing.

Now you can relax, right?

- Let's have dinner to celebrate. - Okay.

I happen to be near Yu Jian's company.

Why don't we also invite Yu Jian and Duan Qiao?

Okay.

Okay, bye.

Hello, can you help me find Yu Jian?

Yu Jian? We don't have anyone by that name here.

Isn't she a new singer here?

Yu Jian, as in "to meet".

Are you at the wrong place?

Let me call her.

Ms. Zhao.

Are you Yu Jian's friend?

Hello, you are...

Are you here to pay her debt?

Debt? What debt?

She won't pick up.

Don't worry, Li Xia. I've caught Duan Qiao.

Yu Jian has been living here after she stopped singing?

We're here.

What are you here to see me for?

Sorry.

Fu Xiao Si?

Are you here to see Duan Qiao? I am too.

Um...

I'm here to talk to him about...

As a matter of fact...

Enough, I can't make up anything more.

Go inside first.

Welcome to Yu Jian's happy little home.

It's great.

Welcome welcome.

It's small so sit wherever you want.

Isn't it practical? I designed it. It makes efficient use of space.

- It is quite impressive. - Right?

Fool, why are you taking the credit?

If Li Xia saw this herself, I'm sure she would feel so sad.

Here.

Thank you.

Think I won't cripple your hand right now?

Let go.

Don't!

What are you doing?

Yu Jian, the teacher is looking for you. Come on.

Water will turn into ice at zero.

Okay.

Yu Jian.

Thank you.

Didn't I promise you?

Since we're friends

whether you're happy or sad, I'll be there for you.

Don't let Li Xia come here.

Actually, this place is quite nice.

There are a lot of neighbors. Everybody can look after each other.

The room is small but it has everything.

Look here.

My room has especially nice features.

Others have to use the communal bathroom. I have my own.

With my monthly salary, apart from paying rent and expenses

I can save a lot.

Don't feel too bad for me. While there's life, there's hope.

I will find a place to sing one day.

Don't worry, Yu Jian. We'll help you.

Don't talk about helping.

Nothing makes me happier than being with friends.

Let's not talk about unhappy things. Let's eat.

Get chopsticks.

I only have a few pairs. They've all been washed though.

Please don't mind.

Duan Qiao, you're quite familiar with the place.

Do you have some hidden intentions?

How would I dare? I'd like to live a few more years.

Yu Jian.

He seems to really like you. Are you going to consider him?

How is that possible?

Dig in.

I also had cola.

Yes, cola.

Cheers.

- Here. - Cheers.

Let the past stay in the past.

Anyway, I believe the future will only get better.

Cheers...

This is great.

- Let's eat! - Dig in.

You traitor!

Why did you expose me? Do you want to die?

I can't be blamed.

Put down your weapon first.

No way.

Talk!

It's like this.

Fu Xiao Si came to the convenience store to invite us to dinner.

He asked me where you were.

Of course I said you were at your management company and probably singing.

He exposed me on the spot.

He said, "Duan Qiao, stop making things up."

"I already saw her."

He pulled one over on me.

So, I... admitted it.

Are you a bonehead? Weren't you really good at making things up before?

You couldn't have made up more excuses?

I was intimidated.

In order to make up for my mistake

I'll wash the dishes and mop the floor today.

I'll do the all the cleaning. I guarantee you'll be satisfied.

Forget it.

I should have told them earlier.

How worried must they have been when they found out?

Don't blame yourself. They will understand.

How come the water is so cold? Is the water heater on?

It broke down.

Broke down?

The weather is so cold. You shower with cold water?

What else?

Congratulations on being selected for the next round, Cheng Qi Qi.

Next up, you'll be undergoing several months of training.

Are you ready?

Eason.

We should do the things we want to do while we're still young.

My decision this time is the right one. Right?

I already had dinner.

Okay, you go to sleep soon too.

All right.

What's wrong?

Are you still thinking about Yu Jian?

It's such a large amount of money. Can we...

We'll figure out a way to resolve this.

By the way, on my way back today, I ran into our professor.

He gave me a business card and said a large company wants to see you.
