Rush to the Dead Summer Episode 26 Recap
> Rush to the Dead Summer Recap
Yu Jian desperately wanted to explain to Fu Xiaosi, but because she hadn't conspired with Duan Qiao beforehand about the story, the clever Fu Xiaosi had already seen through everything. Although he didn't understand, he had no intention of mocking Yu Jian. Fu Xiaosi knew deeply that Yu Jian and Li Xia had a profound friendship.
Now that Yu Jian was in a difficult situation, if Li Xia knew the truth, he would definitely stand up for Yu Jian and feel sorry for her desperate gamble. In an unfamiliar space, the slow-to-warm-up Yu Jian unexpectedly gained a close friend like Li Xia, which was her good fortune. Yu Jian pleaded with Fu Xiaosi to help her conceal her current situation, hoping her friends wouldn't worry about her.
Fu Xiaosi promised to do his best to help Yu Jian overcome her difficulties and face challenges together. Seeing Duan Qiao and Yu Jian so familiar with each other, Fu Xiaosi discerned Duan Qiao's intentions towards Yu Jian and teased him about it, leaving Duan Qiao puzzled. After Fu Xiaosi had safely left, Duan Qiao was interrogated by Yu Jian, who questioned why he had revealed her true situation to Fu Xiaosi.
Duan Qiao patiently explained that he acted out of good intentions, firmly believing that Fu Xiaosi and their other friends, as good friends, would understand Yu Jian. However, Yu Jian felt a sense of indebtedness to Li Xia deep down. Without the company of Fu Xiaosi and Li Xia, Lu Zhiang became independent and self-reliant. He had to get used to living alone and taking care of himself; in a strange place, he could only rely on himself.
Lu Zhiang returned to his residence from the supermarket, only to run into his delightful rival, Yan Mo, in the elevator. Yan Mo played a trick on Lu Zhiang, deliberately flirting with other female guests to make them misunderstand Lu Zhiang as a pervert, then took the opportunity to steal Lu Zhiang's food, only to be caught by Lu Zhiang.
Yan Mo was ravenously hungry; lightheaded with hunger, she rummaged through her home but found nothing to eat to fill her stomach. Yan Mo was unbearable with hunger but suffered from an empty wallet. Lu Zhiang was cooking delicious food in his room, and Yan Mo, drawn by the scent, came over to Lu Zhiang's place, putting on a dramatic show to get free food and drinks.
Seeing Yan Mo's uninhibited manner, completely devoid of any "goddess" pretense, with all the rice bowls empty, Lu Zhiang was greatly surprised. In the following days, Yan Mo often found excuses to come to Lu Zhiang's home for free meals. Yan Mo's arrival also added a few splashes of color to Lu Zhiang's life. Lu Zhiang had gradually gotten used to having Yan Mo around, and this pair of rivals grew closer in their daily interactions.
Li Xia brought Fu Xiaosi to Litong Media Company to meet the boss, hoping to set up a connection for Fu Xiaosi. When Li Xia saw the boss of Litong, he was surprised to find that the person was someone he had a past connection with. The two were engrossed in chatting and entertaining each other, while Fu Xiaosi on the side became extremely jealous. Fu Xiaosi deliberately nitpicked and refused to agree to the other party's demands.
He wanted to possess Li Xia completely and disliked Li Xia being ambiguous with others. Cheng Qiqi's parents argued because of Cheng Qiqi's unauthorized truancy. Her father was overbearing and autocratic, completely disregarding her mother's dignity and feelings, scolding her to make Cheng Qiqi hurry home for a lecture. Her father watched Cheng Qiqi's figure on TV, suppressing anger in his heart.
Cheng Qiqi returned home and expressed her determination to her father: she would not follow the path arranged by her parents step by step; she wanted to stick to her passion for singing. Her parents had imposed their own ideas on her, something she hadn't dared to admit for many years. In her father's eyes, Cheng Qiqi appearing in public was disgraceful and brought shame upon the family. Unable to win the argument with Qiqi, he severely hit her.
Her parents also had a big argument over this incident, but it failed to change Cheng Qiqi's firm resolve. Li Xia was dedicated to helping Fu Xiaosi, continuously reviewing materials to contribute to Fu Xiaosi's efforts and promote his talent. Litong called Li Xia again, intending to persuade Fu Xiaosi to sign a contract with Litong. Li Xia kept his appointment as scheduled.
Li Xia handed over the consolidated information he had prepared to help Fu Xiaosi to the other party, and the two enthusiastically discussed establishing a studio for Fu Xiaosi. Fu Xiaosi watched Li Xia chatting and laughing with the other party, unable to suppress his anger. Fu Xiaosi stated his position: he would not sign with any company. After the other party left, Fu Xiaosi unintentionally angered Li Xia; he didn't know how to handle the situation.
Fu Xiaosi didn't want to go against his original intention; he only wanted to convey the most beautiful things to everyone, rather than hide behind commercial interests. Li Xia understood Fu Xiaosi's thoughts and supported him as always. Yan Mo brazenly freeloaded meals at Lu Zhiang's home. While they were eating, an earthquake suddenly struck. Lu Zhiang comforted Yan Mo, who was nervous and scared.
In a moment of crisis, Lu Zhiang didn't want to trouble anyone and didn't call anyone. Yan Mo was curious about the girl Lu Zhiang liked. In Lu Zhiang's mind, the image of the innocent and naive Li Xia appeared. The laughter and sorrow he experienced with Li Xia were deeply imprinted in his mind, but he had given up his feelings for Li Xia. Perhaps letting go was also Lu Zhiang's feeling towards Li Xia.
