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

Hurry!

Over there!

Hello, Boss?

Why aren't you here yet? The event is starting!

Impossible!

Fu Xiao Si and his assistant are still going round the carousel!

How about hopping around? Hurry up and get back here!

All right.

Hi!

Victory!

Isn't this the squirrel that helped us? It's so cute.

- Is there a problem? - No.

Then how come you keep staring at me?

I just think...

You actually don't look that bad.

So will you reconsider what I said to you last time?

Which part?

Let me be your boyfriend.

Forget it. It's just a casual remark. Don't be mad.

You would dare to leave your life in my hands?

What are you thinking?

I am yours, alive or dead.

Is this "Ghost"?

I like that story.

So is that a yes or a no?

What yes?

It's a yes if you say it is.

It's rumored there's a crack in your relationship

because of another person.

Is this true?

As you said, it's a rumor, so of course it is false.

Does it look like there's a crack in our relationship?

So what relationship do you two have exactly?

Friends.

Can you clarify whether you are

boyfriend and girlfriend or normal friends?

- We are-- - Homewrecker!

Homewrecker! She's the other woman!

- It's her! Over there! - You're the homewrecker!

You're shameless.

You're disgusting! You stole someone else's boyfriend!

Homewrecker! It's her!

How could you break them up? You're shameless!

What do you want?

Watch what you're saying.

She is my girlfriend. Don't be mistaken.

How can it be him?

Lu Zhi Ang.

I'm quite curious what kind of girl you like.

She's very strong and kind. She doesn't admit defeat easily.

I really want to protect her.

But...

There is someone by her side already.

So the one you like...

is Li Xia.

Thank you all for your concern.

My relationship with Xiao Si isn't as rumored.

We're doing great.

Thank you all.

I hope you won't jump to conclusions.

Is that woman really the one rumored to have intruded on your relationship?

We're all close friends. Thank you.

Thank you.

You just announced to the press

Xiao Si and I will continue to attend events as a couple.

What's the problem with that?

You could have at least discussed it with me first.

What is there to discuss?

You're in the media spotlight now. You should strike while the iron is hot.

I'm okay with that. But what about Xiao Si?

Even if he agrees this time, what about the next time? The time after that?

The media gossip flying around has brought him a lot of inconveniences.

Let him go. I don't want to make his life difficult.

Is there something wrong with your head?

When did you start caring about other people?

This is how stars operate.

Is there anyone who doesn't rely on their team

on exposure, and being new to attract attention?

Don't you forget.

The only reason you joined our company was for me to bring you to fame.

Any other thoughts you have, shove them in a corner and suck it up!

Or else, how are you any different from garbage?

I think things are going quite well right now.

Nothing is amiss.

Do you have any other objections?

Qi Qi.

You're still here?

Hello, Li Xia?

Are you okay?

What is going on with you and Xiao Si?

You probably know I liked him very early on.

The first time I met him in Year 1 when he ran into me on his bike

I already liked him.

Later on, I got to know him more and I had a crush on him the whole time.

I thought I would always have a one-sided crush.

I thought when he has a girlfriend one day

I would be brokenhearted and might even cry for a long while

then silently wish them well.

Perhaps I would begin my new life.

I never imagined I would become his girlfriend one day.

But after we got together

everything seemed different from what I had imagined.

Maybe you two just haven't found

the right way to interact with each other.

Take things slowly. It will get better.

This incident has convinced me that

our dating life isn't just between the two of us.

I find it very complicated. It's more than I imagined.

Li Xia, don't think too much about it.

You can talk to me at any time.

I just want to go away for a while and sort through my thoughts in peace.

Okay, I understand.

You saw how it is.

My relationship with Carol isn't as healthy as it seems.

You don't need to blame yourself. This is work.

But, you could switch to a manager with better morals.

With a different manager, would I be able to change the rules?

I am just a money-making machine to her.

To me...

I really want to become famous.

She is someone who can make me rise to fame very fast.

I need to stay under her control.

Qi Qi, you are so talented.

Perhaps there is a better path for you.

There is no other path.

In order to sing

I've already had a falling out with my family.

I solemnly vowed to them.

"I like to sing."

"I will succeed."

Do I have any other option?

But they're your family.

They will help you solve your problems.

Do you remember I once told you...

that I have a stepbrother?

I am already used to my family and everyone else

focusing their attentions on my brother.

Nobody cares about my feelings.

Happy? Sad?

Who would care?

I thought I wasn't good enough.

So, I worked hard.

But no matter how much effort I put in

or how many compromises my mother made

we didn't receive even a tiny bit of my father's attention.

Later on, I realized...

they would only look at me if I stood at the highest and most conspicuous spot.

They have no choice but to see me.

- Qi Qi. - Xiao Si.

Help me.

Attend the upcoming events with me.

Only you can help me now.

As for Li Xia...

I will try to explain to her.

The public's attention is only temporary.

I will try to clarify this matter later.

Li Xia and I are childhood friends.

I don't want to see her suffer either.

I'll try my best.

Thank you.

I should go.

Why did this sort of thing happen again?

Once a problem occurs, every department tries to push the blame to another.

How many times have I gone over this?

Who should be held accountable this time? Which department?

The client has even come complaining to me.

Hello?

Yan Da Zhuang! I have to speak with you!

Hold on a second.

My dear, when are you returning?

Can you not yell at me as soon as you're back?

Please, I'm begging you.

Can you not say my Chinese name so loudly every time you call me?

How am I supposed to hold my head up in the office?

Let me ask you.

What relationship do Fu Xiao Si, Li Xia, and Lu Zhi Ang actually have?

Which two are the real couple?

How would I know this sort of personal business?

Wait, why are you so concerned? Could it be that you and...

Of course I have to be concerned.

This has to do with my life's happiness and my man's prospects.

By the way, Yan Da Zhuang, he is such a successful man. Why did you demote him?

Your man?

Who is your man? When did you get a man?

It's the one who walked off with Li Xia at that event the other day.

Wait.

Your man walked away with another woman in public?

Don't ask about young people's business.

What was the demotion for?

If you don't explain this to me, then watch what I'll do to my brother!

Okay, okay.

That was just a show.

He's sitting in his office right now.

His benefits and compensation weren't reduced.

If you don't like it, I'll promote him immediately, all right?

No! I have one condition.

If you don't agree, I'll flush my brother down the toilet!

You only acknowledge him as your brother when you're threatening me.

What's the condition?

Come in.
