Rush to the Dead Summer Episode 42 Recap
> Rush to the Dead Summer Recap
Faced with Fu Xiaosi's sudden marriage proposal, Li Xia appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was surging with emotion. She willingly embraced her new identity as Mrs. Fu Xiaosi. The two agreed to return to Qianchuan for their wedding after the new work's press conference. Qianchuan, the place that held all their warm memories, where the camphor trees remained, and their feelings endured.
Just as Lu Zhiang wanted to celebrate with the two, a sudden phone call shattered their hopes. Fu Xiaosi's lawsuit was lost. Carol, to utterly destroy Fu Xiaosi, bribed Fu Xiaosi's entrusted lawyer and decided to sacrifice Fu Xiaosi's reputation by intentionally losing the lawsuit. With the lawsuit lost, Fu Xiaosi knew it would be difficult to clarify the truth. Looking at the empowering messages from his fans, Fu Xiaosi's heart was filled with confusion.
Li Xia and Lu Zhiang both worried about Fu Xiaosi. They decided to wait until after the press conference to consider how to handle the troublesome lawsuit. Fu Xiaosi's new work press conference was held. Even with negative news surrounding him, Fu Xiaosi still commanded immense influence in the art world. Li Xia did not go to the press conference, her heart filled with deep anxiety.
Yan Mo and Yu Jian noticed another exhibition booth appearing opposite Fu Xiaosi's autograph session, but neither paid much attention, unaware that it was the beginning of a conspiracy. Everyone was anxiously awaiting Fu Xiaosi's appearance. At the last moment, all eyes were fixed on the stage. Fu Xiaosi finally appeared, accompanied by Lu Zhiang.
At that moment, he was no longer the shy boy; in the face of immense pain, he could be strong enough not to show a single trace of it. As Fu Xiaosi appeared amidst widespread cheers, across from him, Ding Yiyang stepped onto the stage to display his new work, openly challenging Fu Xiaosi, and all attention shifted to Ding Yiyang. Facing external doubts, Fu Xiaosi bravely stood before everyone and spoke eloquently.
The media suddenly brought up Fu Xiaosi's eye condition, and for a moment, Fu Xiaosi was at a loss. Fortunately, Lu Zhiang had already seen through these tricks and stepped forward to help Fu Xiaosi out of the predicament. Ding Yiyang continued to make things difficult for Fu Xiaosi, deliberately provoking him in public by asking about the color of one of Fu Xiaosi's previous works.
But hatefully, Ding Yiyang had swapped the painting, and Fu Xiaosi publicly misidentified the color. Doubts arose one after another, but Fu Xiaosi honestly admitted that the painting was a collaborative effort between him and Li Xia, a perfect explanation that won the public's favor. Ding Yiyang, confident of his success, was determined to bring Fu Xiaosi down. He then presented an out-of-court settlement document to obstruct Fu Xiaosi and used the opportunity to promote his own new work.
Faced with the mention of an out-of-court settlement, Fu Xiaosi was speechless. Suddenly, someone rushed onto the stage and physically assaulted Fu Xiaosi. Yu Jian and Lu Zhiang, among others, stepped in to help Fu Xiaosi. Lu Zhiang was hit and fell to the ground, Fu Xiaosi's vision blurred, and the scene became chaotic. Ding Yiyang weaved through the crowd, walked straight to Fu Xiaosi, struck him violently, and trampled Fu Xiaosi's painting hand in public.
Seeing Fu Xiaosi suffering, Lu Zhiang impulsively picked up a bottle from the ground, struck Ding Yiyang's head with it, and accidentally injured him. Everyone was instantly stunned. At that moment, the vibrant world seemed to turn black and white. All the guards mobilized to apprehend Lu Zhiang. In the chaos, Lu Zhiang fled in a panic, leaving only Yan Mo, Fu Xiaosi, and others to grieve alone.
Stumbling forward, passing through multiple crossroads, the future once longed for, picked up and put down, gained and lost. Amidst her sorrow, Yan Mo picked up Lu Zhiang's jacket, which he had left at the venue. Why did all the once beautiful and peaceful memories suddenly turn upside down? Lu Zhiang was on the run, accused of murder.
Yan Mo didn't know how she could bravely move forward alone in the coming days; without Lu Zhiang's doting affection and tolerance, where was she to go? Accompanied by Duan Qiao, Yan Mo came to the detention center to wait for Fu Xiaosi and Yu Jian, who were finishing their statements. Lu Zhiang was missing, and everyone was worried sick about him. Cheng Qiqi decided to take a gamble; she was going to have a showdown with Li Xia.
Cheng Qiqi cruelly told Li Xia that the child in her womb belonged to Fu Xiaosi. On the night Yu Jian was eliminated, everyone's mood hit rock bottom, and they all got heavily drunk. It was precisely because everyone was intoxicated and the scene was chaotic that what happened between Cheng Qiqi and Fu Xiaosi occurred.
To break apart Fu Xiaosi and Li Xia, Cheng Qiqi did not hesitate to weave one lie after another, only wanting to reclaim that humble love. Hearing Cheng Qiqi personally tell her such a cruel truth, Li Xia was utterly disheartened. Since Cheng Qiqi was pregnant with Fu Xiaosi's child, it meant that Li Xia had to give up her relationship with Fu Xiaosi.
She could only bid farewell to her most precious friendship, and from then on, they would go their separate ways. Li Xia learned the truth and knew she had to break things off with Fu Xiaosi. With his best friend in trouble, Fu Xiaosi held Li Xia tightly, seeking comfort. Li Xia, however, was very resistant; she pushed Fu Xiaosi away and coldly told him that Cheng Qiqi was pregnant with his child. Since high school, Cheng Qiqi had loved Fu Xiaosi but could only keep these feelings buried deep in her heart. A love triangle always seems to end in tragedy.
