Rush to the Dead Summer Episode 15 Recap
> Rush to the Dead Summer Recap
Cheng Qiqi was disheartened and had no appetite for the hotpot she usually praised. The male protagonist of the scandal, Lu Zhiang, found himself in the same predicament as Cheng Qiqi. Lu Zhiang learned from his classmates about Cheng Qiqi's affection for him, felt depressed, and came alone to eat hotpot silently. Just as he was happily eating alone, he saw Cheng Qiqi at the hotpot restaurant too.
Lu Zhiang felt uneasy and decided to leave first to avoid Cheng Qiqi, but he was caught red-handed by Cheng Qiqi. Cheng Qiqi invited Lu Zhiang to eat with her. Lu Zhiang couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face and the panic in his heart, mistakenly thinking that Cheng Qiqi was going to confess her feelings to him face to face. Cheng Qiqi's unintentional pat on his shoulder also made Lu Zhiang sensitive.
Lu Zhiang walked Cheng Qiqi home, but Li Xia was waiting for her at Cheng Qiqi's doorstep. Li Xia asked Cheng Qiqi about confessing to Lu Zhiang. Cheng Qiqi was distressed. She resented Fu Xiaosi's affection for Li Xia, which made him overlook her. Facing Li Xia's concern, she also felt it was ironic and flared up at Li Xia. Cheng Qiqi's indifference left Li Xia at a loss.
Li Xia, hurt by friendship for the first time, walked dejectedly on the path back to school. Friendship is the most fragile thing in this world. At certain moments, different crossroads will also lead to different choices, and even hands that have been held tightly will eventually loosen at some point. Yu Jian excitedly arrived at Qing Tian's home, but Qing Tian was complaining because the stray cat he adopted kept causing him trouble. Yu Jian felt wronged.
Qing Tian noticed Yu Jian's low spirits, proactively apologized to her, and gave her a newly bought phone. The two reconciled as before. Fu Xiaosi, Li Xia, and Yu Jian were eating together. Fu Xiaosi cared for Li Xia and proactively gave him the chicken drumstick he had bought. Cheng Qiqi saw Fu Xiaosi and Li Xia's intimacy from afar, and feeling displeased, she sat alone on the side.
Cheng Qiqi was preoccupied, but Li Yanran ran over and taunted her. The anger in Cheng Qiqi's heart was ignited, and she was ready for a big fight with Li Yanran. However, thinking that if she caused trouble, her mother would again humbly concede, she tried to suppress her anger and prepared to leave. But Lu Zhiang suddenly appeared behind her, comforting Cheng Qiqi to sit down, and exchanging glances with Cheng Qiqi, they coordinated to retort Li Yanran.
Li Yanran was greatly annoyed and left in embarrassment. Cheng Qiqi thanked Lu Zhiang for his loyal help. Although Lu Zhiang helped Cheng Qiqi, he felt even more uneasy inside, fearing that he was making Cheng Qiqi fall deeper. Fu Xiaosi sought advice from his father on how to pursue girls. His father gave Fu Xiaosi a lesson using his own romantic experience of pursuing Fu's mother. Fu Xiaosi then directly copied his father's method to pursue Li Xia.
He deliberately told Li Xia that he forgot to buy breakfast and asked him to watch a movie together, expecting to receive the anticipated and predicted response. However, unexpectedly, Li Xia was not angry that he forgot to buy breakfast, nor did he seem unusually excited about going to the movies. Fu Xiaosi complained that his father's method was outdated. His father, however, was alert to his unusual behavior, suspecting that he was in love. Fu Xiaosi denied it outright.
Time works magic; every day seems ordinary but leaves traces inadvertently. To Fu Xiaosi's surprise, he fell in love with a girl during that year of high school. Fu Xiaosi no longer sought help from his father but continued to buy Li Xia the breakfast he liked, enjoying every moment spent with Li Xia. Cheng Qiqi and Lu Zhiang went out for a stroll to relax.
Lu Zhiang offered to treat Cheng Qiqi to a big meal in exchange for her playing games with him. Lu Zhiang and Cheng Qiqi ate together. Lu Zhiang inadvertently mentioned that they were becoming less compatible. Cheng Qiqi also fretted about how she could have such feelings when she clearly didn't like Lu Zhiang. Cheng Qiqi told Lu Zhiang that the confession letter was a misunderstanding, and that she would do her best to pursue the person she liked.
Lu Zhiang's anxious heart finally settled, and Cheng Qiqi's words made him even more thoughtful. Lu Zhiang kept recalling the scene where Fu Xiaosi told him he liked Li Xia. Unwilling to give up, he decided to arrange another basketball game with Fu Xiaosi. The two shook hands and made peace, deciding to compete fairly for Li Xia and give it their all.
In that ignorant and innocent time, liking someone meant trying hard to like them, purely and unforgettably, treating each other sincerely, just like treating oneself. Although Fu Xiaosi and Lu Zhiang both liked Li Xia, the two brothers did not develop animosity because of their shared pursuit. The three of them enjoyed a happy and joyful life and studies. With every subtle change, time quietly slipped away amidst tiny transformations.
Second year of high school was a long journey before the dark night; before they could even get used to it, the vacation before the dreaded third year of high school was already in sight. Lu Zhiang, Yu Jian, and others saw Li Xia home. Before Li Xia got into the car, Fu Xiaosi secretly put the phone he bought for Li Xia into his backpack, just to give him a surprise. Li Xia opened his backpack, saw the new phone inside, and knew that this was not just a gift, but carried more significance, a heartfelt gesture.
