Rush to the Dead Summer Episode 5 Recap
> Rush to the Dead Summer Recap
Looking at the empty white marks on the wall, the mood of the students in the class was very low. Teacher Wenren blamed the students for their arrogance and impulsiveness, warning them not to challenge authority again, to abandon their foolish ideas as soon as possible, and to do their best to re-hang the Red Flag of Honor in the class at the New Year's Eve party. Li Xia also encouraged the students to compete for collective honor.
Fu Xiaosi meticulously explained important chemistry knowledge points to Li Xia, but Li Xia stared blankly at the white marks on the wall, feeling empty inside. He always thought about doing something for the class. Fu Xiaosi looked at the distracted Li Xia, mistakenly thinking that he was observing Lu Zhiang. Li Xia suggested to Fu Xiaosi to brainstorm ideas for the New Year's Eve party to win back the Red Flag of Honor.
Lu Zhiang readily agreed, but Fu Xiaosi felt that their actions were too childish. Lu Zhiang and Li Xia engrossed themselves in sketching the outline of the Red Flag of Honor, and the two became more and more tacit, but Fu Xiaosi felt a pang of jealousy. Cheng Qiqi and Li Yanran secretly competed, neither giving way to the other. Li Yanran came to find Fu Xiaosi, advising him not to get too close to Li Xia.
Lu Zhiang walked over to stand up for Fu Xiaosi, confronting Li Yanran directly. He suspected that Li Yanran was the one who reported the stolen exam papers. Li Yanran, feeling guilty, darted her eyes and, afraid that her actions would be exposed, excused herself and left. Fu Xiaosi told Lu Zhiang that he was no longer responsible for planning the New Year's Eve party.
Li Xia remained troubled by thoughts of the Red Flag of Honor, and Lu Zhiang tried every way to cheer Li Xia up. Fu Xiaosi was painting at home, and Li Xia's words kept flashing in his mind. He decided to secretly help Li Xia. The students in the class were very resistant to participating in the New Year's activities.
Li Xia's arrangements and ideas met with obstacles, and Li Xia was at a loss as to what to do with the students. Fu Xiaosi walked into the classroom and coldly demanded that all students obey Li Xia's arrangements and actively fight for the class collective. Lu Zhiang took the lead in supporting Li Xia, and the students in the class also responded positively. Everyone cheered for the New Year's Eve party.
Teacher Wenren, observing the students working so diligently from outside the door, felt a warmth in his heart. We may have gotten lost in our youth, but we can always find the right direction with the support of our companions, so we always taste sweetness amidst the bitterness of youth. The students in the class had all sorts of strange ideas and voiced their opinions.
Song Feifei, recalling the spring grass cake Li Xia shared with her at the beginning of the semester, proposed "Memories of Home" as the theme, offering to cook personally to show sincerity. Lu Zhiang playfully objected because he couldn't cook, but he couldn't go against the majority, so he had to participate. Li Xia and Fu Xiaosi went out to buy supplies for the New Year's Eve party.
While resting by the roadside, Li Xia bought sweet potatoes for himself and Fu Xiaosi to enjoy. Li Xia's kindness and easily satisfied nature allowed Fu Xiaosi to understand Li Xia more deeply. Li Xia remembered that today was the day the art magazine was sold and rushed to the bookstore, only to be told that the magazine he wanted was sold out. Li Xia's mood plummeted.
Fu Xiaosi took the opportunity to pull Li Xia to catch up on chemistry lessons, though Li Xia was a hundred times unwilling. Fu Xiaosi guided Li Xia in a chemistry experiment. Li Xia accidentally mixed two chemical substances and injured his hand. Fu Xiaosi anxiously helped him clean it and worriedly reprimanded him. Li Xia was upset that he couldn't complete the cooking for the New Year's Eve party. Looking at Fu Xiaosi, Li Xia had an idea.
He coquettishly asked Fu Xiaosi to help him finish. Fu Xiaosi looked at Li Xia's smile, feeling a faint worry in his heart. Li Xia carefully guided Fu Xiaosi in cooking, but unexpectedly, Fu Xiaosi was full of blunders. Li Xia saw that even the aloof genius had areas he wasn't good at and was secretly happy. After repeated practice, Fu Xiaosi became proficient and gradually mastered the essence of cooking, and his efforts were affirmed by Li Xia.
The New Year's Eve party arrived, and the students wildly enjoyed the passion and joy. The food tasting session officially began, and the students indulged in the temptation of delicious food. There was a wide variety of food on the tables, and Lu Zhiang was impressed by Fu Xiaosi's hidden culinary skills. The results of the competition were announced: Fu Xiaosi's Mapo Tofu and Lu Zhiang's Spicy Chicken were tied.
Lu Zhiang then realized that Li Xia had not yet voted. Everyone urged Li Xia to vote, eagerly anticipating the final results. Li Xia cast the crucial vote for Lu Zhiang. As everyone cheered for Lu Zhiang, only Fu Xiaosi's eyes held deep disappointment. Li Xia told the students one by one about Teacher Wenren's selfless help to the class. Teacher Wenren also gave a homemade cake as a gift to all the students.
Lu Zhiang specifically got a piece of cake for Li Xia but overheard Fu Xiaosi and Li Xia's conversation. Only then did he realize that the popular Mapo Tofu was actually taught to Fu Xiaosi by Li Xia. Li Xia explained to Fu Xiaosi that he voted for Lu Zhiang because he didn't want to boast about his own abilities.
Fu Xiaosi learned from Li Xia that Li Xia's feelings for Lu Zhiang were not out of love, and his suspended heart finally settled. Unbeknownst to him, Fu Xiaosi had begun to envy Li Xia's concern for Lu Zhiang, and this was destined to be a tangled affair involving three people.
