[Never-Ending Summer]

[Episode 29]

You just saw it?

Wow, you saw it but didn't tell me.

Lu Xixiao.

Is there something

we haven't done?

What is it?

Shouldn't we

also tell everyone that we

are together?

Give me your hand.

Come on, sit nicely.

[Finally, we're going to have a never-ending summer together]

That was fast.

I've been wanting to post it.

I was just waiting for you to give me the chance.

[Moments]

When did you secretly take this photo?

Well.

How is it?

Can't I keep a record for myself?

You didn't even tell me.

It's a secret.

What about you?

[Finally, we're going to have a never-ending summer together]

I'm posting it!

It looks so good.

[Finally, we're going to have a never-ending summer together]

[Senior Wan, do you really have a boyfriend?]

Satisfied?

[I was even thinking about visiting you after graduation.]

Who is it?

A junior from school.

Senior Wan.

Do you really have a boyfriend?

I was even thinking about

visiting you after graduation.

Junior?

It has nothing to do with me.

Junior?

He's honestly my junior.

You have quite a lot of boyfriends.

I have nothing to hide.

-Look all you want. -When I was away these past two years,

a lot of guys hit on you, right?

You have no heart.

Look who's talking.

How about I go ask Lin Na

if you have a heart?

I'll go ask Lin Na.

I'm going to.

Still want to ask?

Who?

Okay, I was wrong.

I'm not joking anymore.

And you're not allowed to scold me either.

Why is my nickname "Six"?

Because your last name is Lu.

Doesn't it sound like six?

I was too shy at the time

to save your real name.

I was afraid someone would see.

Afraid someone would see?

Am I that unpresentable?

That's because

so many people like you.

I was afraid of drawing hate.

Look at you now,

shifting the blame onto me,

-I see. -It’s true.

You've been scrolling. What are you looking for?

[Lu Xixiao, I really like you]

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

It's not too late to tell you now, right?

I really like you, Lu Xixiao.

Zhou Wan.

I'm hungry.

What do you want to eat?

I'll go make it for you.

Lu Xixiao!

Let's go cook.

Are you trying to strangle me?

-Let me down. Hurry. -Let’s cook.

Let’s cook.

No. No.

No.

So Jiang Fan

pretended to buy

your house from you,

and then you remarried?

Not exactly.

He just didn't want me

to sell the house,

nor did he want a divorce.

I was really furious at first.

I thought when I went back this time,

I would definitely have a big fight with him

and insist on a divorce.

But the moment I opened the door,

it was full of the furniture I wanted.

And one whole wall was covered with photos.

Even before I saw him,

I was already crying my eyes out.

I have to say,

he's always been the same.

Yeah.

He's always had me wrapped around his finger.

You clearly have him wrapped around your finger.

No, I don't.

You've been together for 7 years,

and married for 3. That's a long time.

Despite all your little fights,

he still can't live without you.

I feel like I can't live without him either.

What do you think is the difference

between marriage and dating?

There is a difference.

When you're dating,

two people leave their own homes

to go on a date

and grab milk tea or something.

But when you're married,

you get off work

and go back to your own little home together.

It feels like there's always someone

waiting for you.

No matter what happens outside,

you never have to face it alone anymore.

Where are you taking me?

We'll be there soon.

Don't peek.

Okay, I know.

We're going down some stairs.

Be careful.

It's okay. Just follow me.

Going down. First step.

Second step.

-No more. -So mysterious.

Are we there yet?

Just a little faster, and we're there.

Open your eyes.

This is the one from the arcade.

Yes, I bought it back.

The last time we played this,

how many years has it been?

Ten years.

It still works.

You bought this back.

What?

Do you still want to compete with me?

Mr. Bow?

You guessed it.

I went easy on you back then.

I'll definitely make you cry tonight.

-You worked so hard. -Come on.

Have you forgotten, Zhou Wan?

How could you possibly make me cry?

-I’m not afraid. -Let me teach you how to play.

Come on.

You're going to teach me?

But you lost to me.

I let you win back then.

[Game over]

I died.

What happened?

You could've dodged. Why didn't you?

I didn't want to.

[Lu Xixiao, will you marry me?]

Lu Xixiao.

Millions of times in the past,

you could have chosen to avoid it.

But you chose

to lose to me.

This time,

I'm willing to lose to you too.

I like you.

I like you, Lu Xixiao.

I have liked you for a long time.

I really,

really like you.

The Zhou Wan in the past

was too cowardly.

She never dared to believe,

nor be certain,

that we would have a happy ending.

Thank you.

Whenever I backed down,

you would firmly walk towards me.

Whenever I ran into difficulties,

you were always the first

to rush in front of me.

Thank you.

Thank you for

falling in love

with the helpless, timid,

destitute,

and far-from-kind person I was back then.

Thank you for making me believe

that a future filled with happiness

and good fortune was truly possible.

Silly.

Will you marry me?

Will you marry me, Lu Xixiao?

You knew you had work today,

and you still went so hard last night.

You don't need to come with me.

Stay at home.

Just help me confirm

the invitation list for the art exhibition.

I want to sleep a little longer.

Get up and eat something first.

Otherwise, it's bad for your stomach.

No.

I want to sleep for another hour.

All right, go to sleep.

You're being so nice today.

Then you won't be sleeping alone.

No.

You can't tickle me.

-That's cheating. -Are you still sleeping?

No, no, no.

I'm not sleeping.

I'll eat breakfast.

Fine, I'll eat breakfast.

-I see. -Get up.

Get up. Sit up.

Sit up.

You win.

I'm ignoring you.

Don't tickle me.

[Never-Ending Summer; Pingchuan Art Museum]

The usual rules.

From the entrance to here,

we'll hang some paintings

other than the "First Snow" series.

And then in this area,

we'll hang the 14 paintings

of the "First Snow" series.

The 4 most valued paintings

will be hung here.

Then on the ground,

I'll put some snow and stuff

so that when the audience comes to the exhibition,

they'll have an immersive experience.

Here,

the most prominent position

is saved for you

to hang your 4 most important paintings.

On this main backdrop,

I'll hang that most playful painting

of you two

in this most prominent spot.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, no buts?

Let's do as you said.

I'll listen to you.

Listen to me?

What do you mean?

So it hurts.

Wait, since when

have you ever listened to me?

Bro, tell me the truth.

Do you have a terminal illness?

If you have a terminal illness,

you have to tell me immediately.

Without you,

I can't survive by myself,

you know?

Can you stop talking nonsense?

I'll listen to you.

I know.

You and your little antidote

made up, didn't you?

Seeing you like this now,

I'm genuinely happy.

You've been doing well lately.

Xixiao is going to hold an art exhibition.

I came to deliver an invitation to Ms. Qilan.

I quit my job.

The past between me and Lu Zhongyue

should also be let go.

I'm planning to take my mom out for a trip.

When?

Tomorrow.

So sudden?

I've been thinking about it for a while.

I used to always think about success and fame.

Looking back,

I still don't know

what I really want.

I'm leaving.

Zhou Wan.

Even if we aren't friends,

I can still wish you well, right?

I hope all is well.

Jiang Yan.

Live for yourself from now on.

In the blink of an eye,

Xixiao's art exhibition has opened.

Yeah.

I specifically looked it up before.

L's paintings

[Never-Ending Summer; Pingchuan Art Museum]

are mostly about winter.

I've heard that too.

Why does this say Never-Ending Summer?

You're all here.

-Wan, long time no see. -Wan.

We can go in together.

How come you...

-Xixiao hasn’t come yet? -Yeah.

Where is Xixiao? It's his exhibition.

He should already be inside.

He should? You should be together now, right?

-You should be together. -Why are we still calling her Wan?

Call her... Mrs. L.

That's right.

What are you even talking about?

-Enough. -Wan, are we still besties or not?

When did it happen?

Why didn't you tell me?

Isn't it obvious?

Think about it yourselves.

Back then, Wan said

she would treat us to morning tea.

-In the end, it’s Xixiao’s treat. -Yeah. Forget everything else.

The message he wrote for the audience

was really meant for Wan.

The first snow is nature's blank space.

-Regret is the touch of life! -Okay, I'm done talking to you guys.

I'm going to see the exhibition first.

No, Wan, tell us,

what exactly is going on?

Hurry up and tell me.

[Never-Ending Summer; Pingchuan Art Museum]

-What happened? -When?

When was it?

What's going on?

You kept it a secret so well.

In Mr. L's art exhibition this time,

as you can see,

most of the paintings are

themed around snow.

The 4 paintings

in front of you

are special exhibits

in this exhibition.

From my left to right,

-they're Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. -You scared me.

And these 4 paintings

were not created independently

by Mr. L himself.

I believe today,

there are many present

who are Mr. L's hardcore fans.

-Let’s guess -Hardcore fan.

who else participated

in the creation of these paintings.

Who is it?

Who is it?

These 4 paintings are actually

works of Mr. L's mother before she passed away.

Unfortunately, this painting of Winter

was not finished

when his mother suddenly passed away.

What we're looking at now

is the version

[Blazing Summer: When the First Snowflak Breaks Free from the Clouds,]

Mr. L completed later on.

[regret has a shape]

In other words,

this painting

was jointly completed

by the mother and son.

Exactly. Thank you for the addition, Ms. Qilan.

In addition to these 4

specially exhibited paintings,

we have also

set up a snow-covered area for everyone

on the other side of the venue.

Ms. Qilan, where is Xixiao?

...for a closer, more immersive view...

You don't even know.

How would I know?

I thought he had already arrived.

I have a question.

Call him.

We want to take a picture with the artist too.

Where is he?

Right.

-Where is he? -Where is he?

Mr. L

is probably

somewhere in the venue.

You all

will probably run into him

while viewing the exhibition later.

He is the absolute main character today.

He can't not show up, right?

Of course not.

Mr. L never

misses his own art exhibition.

Please rest assured.

Okay.

Then I'll leave you

to admire these paintings.

If you have any questions,

you can come over and ask me.

How is it?

Do you like it?

I waited a long time for you.

I organized a personal

art exhibition just for you.

How is it?

Is it okay?

Over the years, I've traveled

to many places by myself.

But,

sometimes when I go to a place,

I don't know how long I want to stay.

My standard is usually

that when the first snow

is about to fall there,

I secretly run away.

Because I don't want to watch the snow alone.

I'm just kidding.

So have you noticed

that these paintings

are all missing something?

They are missing me.

They are missing me.

So you know you're missing.

I want to go to that many places too.

Really?

I'll take you to lots of places someday.

Really?

So,

I've always wanted to make a painting

where nothing is missing,

with you and me,

watching the snow together.

I want that too.

Really?

Why is it snowing?

I've waited so long for today.

I had to prepare some props.

"Never-Ending Summer".

I don't know how many episodes it has.

In the last episode.

We

are married!

We are married!

Xiaoliu, you are so cute.

Is this okay?

-Yes. -So cute.

Do I look good?

You look good.

Okay.

Self-media is media too.

No PDA during official interviews.

All right, Chief Editor Gu.

Let's get started.

Let's begin.

Okay, for our first question,

let's ask L.

Some people have clear goals

and desire success.

Some are lost in life

and take it one step at a time.

I wonder what L's dream was

when he was in school.

My dream in school?

I didn't seem to have any dreams.

I was pretty decadent back then,

I guess, right?

Then why, after graduation,

did you choose

the career path of painting?

Everyone is most interested in

the "First Snow" series.

You seem to have started creating it

when you were 18.

Because

I met Zhou Wan.

Actually, when I first met her,

I was having a really hard time.

She was the one who led me

out of a dead end.

So, all along,

I've been clinging to her.

I always insisted on being with her.

Of course, the two of us

aren't saints.

I don't love saints anyway.

From the very beginning

when I met her,

I saw her sharpness

and edge.

I love this light in her,

and I also love all her scars.

Because it happens to be all of this

that makes up the most vibrant version of her.

Honest, pure, free and happy.

Daring to love and hate.

I have so many strengths?

Yeah, didn't you know that?

You summarized it pretty well.

So at the end of the day,

if it weren't for her,

I wouldn't be who I am today.

Actually, in this world,

it snows every single day.

But if I don't watch this snow

together with her,

then it would just be

an ordinary snowfall.

So if we're really talking

about dreams,

I actually have one.

What is it?

It's you.

Chief Editor Gu,

please cut this part out.

Why cut it? We can't.

No, no. I'm shy.

We can't.

Shall we cut it, Xiaoliu?

Okay.

What about Zhou Wan?

If you had to use one word

to describe L,

what word would you use?

Parachute.

Why that word?

In the past,

for a very, very long time,

my life

was constantly in a state

of falling.

I became the version of myself

I disliked the most.

And I failed

the person I loved the most.

But fortunately,

all of this

stopped because you appeared.

He is like a parachute,

always catching me

before I hit rock bottom.

It feels like

I'm flying.

As if

I'm not falling.

Okay, last question.

When did you

start liking each other?

Summer of 2016.

Right?

If you can't remember, I can edit it out.

Wasn't it 2016?

In 2013.

Before he even knew me,

I had already fallen for him.

2013?

W-What? Which time?

I'm sorry.

Your grandma's condition

was discovered too late.

It's irreversible now.

We can only use medication

to keep it from worsening.
