[Never-Ending Summer]

[Episode 6]

I guarantee you'll be completely satisfied

once you see this place.

Hello. Come in first.

Thanks for your hard work, Li.

Come in. It's my pleasure.

Come.

Are there any other entrances?

Over there. Let's go.

Do you think I lack the money?

You're right.

We sincerely want to sell it.

Everything is negotiable.

An artist used to

live here.

It has been exceptionally well maintained.

Mr. Li, let's go.

Let's look at the living room.

Mr. Li, this is the living room.

Yes, Mr. Li.

Please take a look

at the overall decoration style.

A fish tank this big,

and they don't even keep a couple of arowanas in it?

So tasteless.

Mr. Li, I'll get you a few

premium arowanas later.

As you can see, all the furniture is solid wood.

The style is

solemn, luxurious, and elegant.

By the way,

there is also a big courtyard in the front.

It's very impressive.

Let me take you to have a look.

Look.

Mr. Li,

there's also

an upper floor.

The house has four bedrooms and two living areas in total.

I forgot to tell you,

there is also a bar counter here.

You can invite a few friends

over to taste some red wine.

Why is the power out here?

We don't come here very often.

Could the utility bill be overdue?

No.

The fish tank lights are still on.

It's probably an electrical issue.

It's an old house.

We just need to reset the breaker and it'll be fine.

This place feels creepy.

I'd say we should get

a feng shui master

in here first.

No, no, Mr. Li.

The feng shui is absolutely fine.

Absolutely fine.

There's someone upstairs?

Mrs. Lu,

is there anyone on the second floor?

No one.

I just went up to check.

There is no one there.

Right.

It's just the pipes.

Air bubbles in the plumbing.

You know how sometimes at home

you hear sounds like marbles rolling around?

Don't try to fool me.

What exactly happened to

the previous owner?

Nothing happened. It's just...

Forget it. I'm not interested anymore.

-Wait. -Mr. Li!

Mr. Li,

listen to me.

Don't leave, Mr. Li.

Mr. Li.

When you came in just now,

did you see these handprints?

No.

Me neither.

Wow.

Isn't this a Picasso?

There's a Beethoven upstairs.

This way.

Is this a studio too?

These paintings are so beautiful.

Who painted them?

I did.

You did?

You can paint?

What about it?

My hands are so good-looking.

Can't I be good at painting too?

By that logic,

I look so good,

so my handwriting must be good too.

I think you look better playing a ghost.

Isn't this a birch tree?

Did you paint this too?

Just something I sketched.

I saw some paintings

in the studio on the second floor.

Did you paint those too?

Shouldn't there be four paintings?

It looks like one is missing.

You went into that room?

When you said we should split up,

I went in to take a look.

Who told you to go in?

I didn't mean to.

Who told you to go in?

Go.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

I'll go back first then.

Zhou Wan,

what a surprise.

Didn't we already

have an agreement before?

You wouldn't disturb my life,

and I'd treat your grandma's illness.

That's what we agreed on, isn't it?

Well? Answer me!

Yes.

Yes.

Then what do you mean by this?

Are you playing games with me?

Lu Xixiao and I are just friends.

I also won't tell him

about our relationship.

I haven't asked yet.

How did your exam go?

I didn't take it.

You didn't take it?

Grandma collapsed that day.

It was a heart attack caused by uremia.

Like it or not,

this is fate—

for both you and your grandma.

Do you want to help her get treatment?

I can help you.

But

you have to

keep honoring our agreement.

You cannot appear

in front of Lu Xixiao.

Is that okay?

There's really nothing going on between Lu Xixiao and me.

Besides,

you already took all of my father's insurance money

back then.

Your father's insurance payout

was left to me.

It was our joint marital property.

The name on the policy is mine, not yours.

Do you understand?

As for Grandma's medical bills,

just consider it a loan.

I will definitely pay you back.

Look at this.

I've already prepared the money

for you.

But you really can't

keep testing my patience like this.

[Lu Xixiao]

Tell me, how can I still trust you?

[Yangming High School Forum]

Delete him.

[Profile Settings] [Delete]

[Delete contact]

[Please wait.]

The cake is good.

Have a bite first.

I'm sorry, Lu Xixiao.

To save Grandma,

I have no choice.

I didn't...

I didn't mean it.

You two are too selfish.

You've turned this family upside down.

Why can't you understand

that nothing matters more than family harmony?

Dad, don't be angry.

Calm down, okay?

If

I hadn't used this method,

do you think he would have come back?

Grandpa.

So you still know how to come back.

I know I was wrong.

You know you were wrong? So where exactly were you wrong?

I was wrong.

I shouldn't have come back at all.

I should've at least texted you

after I landed to let you know I was safe.

It's just a family conflict.

It's no big deal.

Don't worry.

I will always support you.

You support me,

but not everyone

supports me.

You left without saying a word.

Whose support do you still want?

Grandpa,

I want to talk to him alone for a while.

Dad, let me walk you out.

Let me tell you,

nobody is getting their hands

on Shen Lan's property.

Yes.

I didn't handle it well.

It won't happen again.

Shen Lan is Shen Lan,

and you are you.

It will never be the same.

Yes, I misunderstood.

Why did you bring the painting back?

In a few days,

it's Lanyue's 40th anniversary celebration.

We're hosting a family banquet.

Many business partners will be attending.

Your persona as a devoted husband

gets better every year.

Stop using your words

to mock me.

I'm telling you,

you must attend the event that day.

Because of this,

I made you come back.

Got it?

You never asked me to go

and put on a show in previous years.

You must apologize

to Mr. He's son.

Which Mr. He?

Don't play dumb

with me.

Just be good and apologize to him.

Fine, but I have a condition.

A condition?

You're negotiating with me?

My mom's house...

I never intended to sell

your mom's house in the first place.

As for you going abroad,

it concerns your future after all.

As your father,

it's my responsibility to think more for you.

I'm sorry.

I'll tell you everything someday.

But before that,

I want her to pay back

everything she owes me.

[Game Leaderboard]

If his ranking gets overtaken,

he won't be able to sleep at night.

That's how petty he is.

[Game Leaderboard]

What are you doing?

Just get back to first place.

Alright.

She even dressed up as a ghost to help you scare people,

but you turned around and kicked her out.

No wonder she blacklisted you.

She gave you a way out.

Couldn't you see that?

I saw it.

So what?

It's not up to her whether I take it or not.

Come on, it's not that serious.

I already created an opportunity for you.

Talk to her nicely later, okay?

Don't do anything unnecessary here.

Good job. Are you thirsty?

Where are you going?

None of your business.

I'll drink it. I'm thirsty.

Thanks.

One is more stubborn than the other.

Unbelievable.

You can't even take care of yourself;

why are you treating me to a meal?

I haven't thanked you properly for lending me

your scooter last time.

I can still afford to treat you

to afternoon tea.

Just enjoy your food

and that's it.

You're so generous.

Besides,

I have something to ask you today.

I knew it.

You wouldn't come to me for nothing.

You treating me

is definitely not that simple.

Tell me.

Under what circumstances do you think a guy

would take a girl

home?

Who are you going home with?

Lu Xixiao.

Do you like him?

I don't.

You don't like him but you're going home with him?

I have some business with him.

What business?

Can I not say it for now?

Boring.

Don't you guys know each other?

Just tell him directly.

I had a fight with him

and deleted him on WeChat.

And then?

I originally wanted to talk to him

at the arcade.

But he ignored me

and just left.

That's pretty bad.

Tell me about it.

Let me think.

No rush.

I have an idea,

but it depends on whether you can accept it.

What idea?

Abandon dignity.

You need to add him back on WeChat first.

Aren't you going to work this afternoon?

Just do as I say.

We're currently running a

top-up promotion at the store.

If you're interested,

feel free to add me on WeChat.

[Zhou Wan]

[Zhou Wan]

I'm not short of money.

[Zhou Wan]

Don't. I'll add you.

How can you be so shameless?

We need to approach this from the side.

Tell me something I can understand.

Jiang Fan.

He

comes to the store to see me every day.

He should be useful for something else.

You mean asking Jiang Fan for help?

Since when did you two get so close?

Not important.

Anyway, he goes to my uncle's store every day.

I'll just ask him.

Well,

Wan and I brought some noodles

for you.

Look, Xixiao.

They really packed some seafood noodles.

You said you wanted

this earlier, didn't you?

Ms. Zhou really understands you.

I'm not hungry.

And,

if you tip them off again,

just you wait.

Who made the floor so dirty?

Who did this?

If he doesn't eat it, I will.

Give it to me. I'm hungry.

Save some for me.

No way.

He's so ungrateful.

He'll behave after a beating!

Keep your voice down.

I have no choice.

I'm the one asking for his help.

There's another way.

Act pitiful.

That's enough.

She's been working overtime for days.

She switched shifts just to...

For what?

Feel sorry for her?

Then cover her shift.

I don't.

I'm just sleepy.

You really are hard-hearted.

I'm hard-hearted?

I lent you my motorbike for a few days.

And the rearview mirror is gone.

I'm hard-hearted?

Xixiao, the girls who are into you

could line up from the school gate all the way

to the teaching building.

You really can't see what she's getting at?

Miss Straight-A has gone

this far.

Stop pretending.

She's the one pretending.

You want to see her too, don't you?

Otherwise, why do you go to the arcade

every day?

You never used to be this hooked

on games.

Why act tough? I don't even get it.

Are you done, Jiang Fan?

Fine, fine, I won't get involved.

I'm not getting involved, okay?

My brother stayed,

leaving behind a bunch of emotional problems,

and the motorbike I got my hands on is gone.

You might as well have left.

Good thing I stayed.

Look at the motorbike

you messed up.

Aren't you planning to

go out again later anyway?

When the time comes...

In your dreams.

The dream is here.

I'm getting off work.

You're getting off work this early?

Bye, Uncle.

Now you remember

I'm your uncle, right?

Be careful on the road.

Alright, Xixiao.

It is fixed.

Check it out.

Check? It's the motorbike I fixed.

You didn't even touch it.

I...

You used my tools.

Since you care so much,

and fix motorbikes so well,

why don't you stay

and fix motorbikes with me?

He has a lot of things to care about.

[Inpatient Building]

Grandma.

I'm here to see you.

Okay.

What are you listening to?

It's called Phonograph Band.

Do you want to listen?

Why would he?

You listen to it if you like.

Didn't I tell you

not to come all the way to see us?

Grandma is much better.

If you don't bother me,

I feel uneasy.

I... I was afraid

you'd be mad about last time.

Let's talk outside.

Okay.

These are

materials and admissions brochures

from some local universities

in Pingchuan City.

Take a look.

What,

you don't want me to apply to

Huaqing University with you anymore?

Of course I still want to,

but

your life is your own choice.

Thank you.

Your birthday is in a few days.

Have you thought about how to celebrate?

Same as always.

Okay.

Can you play properly?

How are we supposed to break this record?

Buy some tokens.

I'm out of money.

How can you be out of money?

You spent it all because of your gaming.

Let's go.

Zhou Wan isn't here.

Actually, I wanted to tell you the other day

But then you deleted me.

What did you say?

I said, I was also wrong.

Yes!

I won.

We won.

Okay.

I'll count you in.

I just blocked a bullet

for you back there.

How are you going to thank me?

How do you want me to thank you?

I heard your banquet

hired a band.

I really like that band.

Can I go see them live?

You came to me just for this?

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Would you have said yes if I just asked?

Besides, for such a grand party,

I probably can't even get in.

Besides,

I'm asking for a favor,

and I just deleted you on WeChat a second ago.

What song do you want to hear?

I actually have one.

Sure.

Come early that day.

Really?

It's a party.

You should think about what to wear.

What should I wear?

Anything is fine.

It doesn't matter.

Lu Xixiao,

I hope you won't blame me

after that day.

Happy birthday.

Thanks, Mom.

Back then,

registering you for household residency

delayed your schooling,

but luckily my son worked hard

and got into the best university.

I am really proud of you.

Mom,

you're drinking this early?

I am just happy today.

Yan, come.

After all these years,

we've finally made it.

Back then, they looked down on you

and didn't want you.

Never mind.

It's your birthday.

Let's not talk about this.

Did you

set a time with him?

We're meeting tonight.

Remember,

when you go there for dinner,

stand tall.

Come here, son.

This is a birthday present for you.

A fountain pen

specially customized for you.

Your name is even engraved on it.

[Jiang Yan]

Take a look. Do you like it?

I hope

that when you go to college,

you'll study even harder.

If you and your mother

need anything in the future,

come to me anytime.

No need.

What's wrong, Yan?

What's with this shirt?

Why is there

such a big loose thread here?

This shirt.

Gao!

Come here.

Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu.

After the birthday party,

take him to buy some nice clothes.

Make sure they're name brand.

Do you hear me?

Understood.

Go ahead.

I came here today

to make things clear to you.

Over the years,

you have fulfilled your duties as a father.

I am very grateful.

But we both know very well

that we are not a family,

and we never will be.

My mother is excellent.

The child she raised

is also excellent,

and no worse than anyone else.

From now on, whether it's financial support

or upbringing,

I will no longer accept

anything from the Lu family.

So,

please take this back.

Your mother raised you

really well.

You want to rely on yourself.

As a father, I have no objections.

But you have your attitude,

and I have mine.

Understand?

As for this meal,

I really don't have time to eat with you.

I have a lot of things to do.

Gao!

M-Mr. Lu.

Keep him company later

and celebrate his birthday.

O-Okay.

Give him whatever he wants.

Thank you.

Why would Lu Xixiao come here?

Jiang Yan!

I just came back from dinner with my dad.

You...

Perfect timing.

Wait for me on the rooftop.

I haven't forgotten.

Hello.

Hello.

Come here.

How can I help you, sir?

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

The usual.

A small cake every year.

It belongs only to you,

not to be shared with anyone.

Right?

The skewers are mine.

Make a wish.

My first wish

is for Grandma to get better soon

and stay healthy and safe.

Then I thank you on Grandma's behalf.

My second wish

is that

Zhou Wan will promise me something.

Me?

What is it?

I know you've been

exhausted lately.

I want you to relax.

[Pingchuan Art Museum Exhibition Ticket]

You go to art exhibitions?

Haven't I been helping out at the orphanage

for my resume?

A sponsor gave them to me.

He often visits the kids.

When is it?

Next Tuesday.

Next Tuesday.

Why? Are you busy?

It's the same day as the Lu family dinner.

I should make it.

Keep the tickets for now.

I'm afraid I'll lose them.

All right.

Okay, your last wish.

I don't have any more wishes.

I'll save the last one for you.

It's your birthday.

Why should I make a wish?

Besides Grandma,

don't you have any other wishes?

Then wish me luck.
