Rush to the Dead Summer Episode 6 Recap
> Rush to the Dead Summer Recap
Thanks to the collective efforts of the entire class, the New Year's Eve gala was successfully held, and the Red Banner of Honor returned to the class again, finally completing the previously empty space on the wall. The power generated by youth's collisions is unpredictable; the sky at seventeen is exclusively for those bright and striving high school days.
As final exams approached, all students gave their absolute best, studying late into the night to prepare for the battle to achieve good grades. Li Xia felt immense pressure and was overcome with anxiety before the exams. Lu Zhiang watched Li Xia studying so hard and ran home to ask his mother to prepare a nourishing and invigorating soup for Li Xia.
Fu Xiaosi was grading Li Xia's chemistry test paper; chemistry was Li Xia's weakness, and Li Xia felt extremely anxious and worried. Fu Xiaosi advised Li Xia not to be too nervous, saying that only by relaxing could he perform normally. In the empty classroom, only the two of them were seen studying diligently.
Li Xia complained to Fu Xiaosi that he had been unlucky recently, with no good things happening, and he had also missed the idol Jisi's art book, making his disappointment even harder to hide. Fu Xiaosi passed by the bookstore, always remembering Li Xia's wish, and waited at the bookstore entrance just to buy the Jisi art book that Li Xia adored.
With the Jisi art book in hand, Fu Xiaosi could not contain his excitement and walked straight to Li Xia's dormitory building. Fu Xiaosi personally handed the Jisi art book to Li Xia and told him to believe in himself. With Fu Xiaosi's encouragement, Li Xia felt a greater sense of security; it turned out that the simple four words "believe in yourself" had such great charm, like a faint beam of light shining into his heart.
Lu Zhiang, full of joy, arrived at Li Xia's dorm building with the nourishing soup, but saw Li Xia and Fu Xiaosi's intimacy, and Lu Zhiang silently walked away. During the exam, Li Xia always remembered Fu Xiaosi's encouragement, and he completed the test paper smoothly. When the exam results were released, Fu Xiaosi deliberately scared Li Xia, saying his exam score was terrible. Li Xia rushed anxiously to check the results, but was surprised to find himself ranked third.
Li Xia could hardly believe his eyes, but Fu Xiaosi coldly said that it was his strength. Li Xia's efforts also earned praise from Teacher Wenren, and Li Xia felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey. After the final exams, everyone embarked on their journey home. For the first time returning home after being away, Li Xia wanted to immediately share the joys and sorrows of the past half-year with his mother.
Back home, Li Xia found everything in his hometown so familiar and intimate. Li Xia felt sympathy for his mother, personally bought her a gift, and told her to be careful to stay warm, and also presented his report card, the excellent grades giving his mother great comfort. The mother and son relied on each other, yet never lacked the warmth of home.
Lu Zhiang and Fu Xiaosi grew tired of their monotonous life at home and decided to have Cheng Qiqi take them to Li Xia's hometown to visit the market and experience the hustle and bustle. Cheng Qiqi brought Lu Zhiang and Fu Xiaosi to visit Li Xia at his home, and the sudden visit greatly surprised Li Xia. Li Xia took the group to visit the market together, and various new things made Fu Xiaosi and Lu Zhiang very curious.
Fu Xiaosi, Li Xia, and two others came together to a temple fair near Li Xia's home. Local elders told the four that if they threw in a coin with a sincere wish and gave it to the person in their heart, their dream would surely come true. Li Xia silently made a wish, while Fu Xiaosi secretly watched Li Xia, his heart anticipating Li Xia's wish.
Cheng Qiqi gossiped about who Li Xia wanted to give the meaningful coin to, but Fu Xiaosi poured a bucket of cold water on Li Xia. Lu Zhiang wanted to show his feelings to Li Xia, so he walked away alone, persistently throwing coins. Lu Zhiang persistently threw coins, forgetting about going home. Fu Xiaosi and Li Xia, afraid of delaying their return home, decided to set off to find him. Cheng Qiqi, nervous, accidentally sprained her ankle.
Fu Xiaosi proactively stayed to care for the immobile Cheng Qiqi, while Li Xia went alone through streets and alleys to search for Lu Zhiang. Fu Xiaosi thoughtfully cared for Cheng Qiqi. Cheng Qiqi felt an emotional stir towards Fu Xiaosi for the first time.
She told Fu Xiaosi about her family experiences – trust, gratitude; it was unclear what prompted Cheng Qiqi to reveal her most sensitive secret, but we know that the first stirrings of youth are often regarded as terrible encounters. Li Xia found Lu Zhiang under a large tree on Temple Street. Lu Zhiang said he wanted to throw in the coin and silently expressed his feelings for Li Xia.
To fulfill Lu Zhiang's wish, Li Xia personally handed his coin to Lu Zhiang, who beamed with joy, like a boy who had just fallen in love. Lu Zhiang and Fu Xiaosi missed the last bus home. Li Xia accompanied the two of them as they walked along the road. Under the moonlight, the shadows of the three seemed out of sync, yet they depicted the shape of emotions. Some emotions can only occur in one's youth – sadness, helplessness, missed opportunities – yet they can only be secretly buried deep in the heart, undetected.
