Back to topic, ok another not so great episode. I really wanna stop watching but then it s kinda bad coz that will mean I have to stop summarising and I hate to pull a stunt like that halfway thru, esp since it isnt exactly THAT bad.
泡沫之夏Episode 09 Summary
The episode goes back to Xiamo pleading OuChen to do the kidney transplant but he refused and explained its all in vengene towards her. That said, Xiamo kneeled down and said if its all about revenge, please direct it at only her, and if it suits him, will her death then allows her to strike a successful bargain? Ou chen was stunned and asked if she was threatening him. Since he was only insanely inlove with her and didnt really want her dead. So instead, he proposed that if Xiamo is willing to marry him, he will agree. (the scene didnt show that she rejected him but she did)
Xiamo was at lost at what to do as she went home. On the way, she was self reprimanding that she wasnt a good sister because she turned down Ouchen's condition. At the gate, she was surprised to find Luoxi sitting all alone at her porch waiting for her return. She invited him in and he asked her why she was uncontactedable via mobile and when he did get thru, she didnt answer? She wanted to explain but he wont give her a moment or chance to say anything. He asked her if she read about the scandal between him and shenqiao. Xiamo said yes. He become agitated asking how didnt she seem to care and not even a call to ask? She said ist it all fake and gossip news? SShe trusted him plus she was really too busy the past weeks. He kept cutting her off and then demanded if she was with Ouchen. He then (correctly) presume that she must be with Ouchen which was why she didnt pick up the call. Finally, she give up and said she is really tired. Luoxi continued to rant and finally, xiamo had a chance to say that her brother was hospitalised and thus she had no spare bandwidth to deal with other inconsequential matters. Luoxi was shocked and asked if xiaochen will be alrite? Xiamo replied that HE will recover. Luoxi then question why didnt she tell him so that he can accompany her and be by her side during this crisis. She said she can handle it alone. Luoxi got all worked up again and asked why did she tell ouchen then? She said its about other things. However Luoxi already was fixated with mistrust that he refused to accept anything she said. Instead, he coldly replied that since he was always being abandoned, he will be the first to abandon her for a change! Xiamo hugged him and said she loved him, but he coldly replied that the problem is, he doesnt trust her anymore. With that, he left.
Meanwhile, Xiamo desperately tried to look for other ways to save her brother. She attended a celeb party and desperately wanted to locate Luoxi's boss. However, one of her ex-foe appeared and deliberately spilled drinks on her. Ouchen witnessed and grabbed xiamo away to get a fresh gown for her. When they appeared on stage, Xiamo explained she is looking for Xiaochen's dad (they shared the same dad but different mother)- which was Luoxi's boss! Ouchen stopped her from proceeding on her own, explaining that with him ard to do the introductions, she willface less problems. When she spotted him, Ouchen led her to Luoxi's boss and made the introduction.
Xiamo wanted to speak to him but she kept gettign interrupted by Shen qiao who refused her. Xiamo politely ignored her and requested to speak in private but shen qiao said NO again "on behalf" of her boss. Xiamo was really annoyed and told shenqiao off, saying that she was being very rude since she is not talking to shenqiao but her boss. Ouchen then said if the boss was feeling better since he is recovering from some kidney problems. Xiamo was stunned at the news. The boss continued to explain that his health is giving and indeed his kidneys has been giving him some problems but nothing major as yet. Xiamo knew then her chances to ask the father for transplant is dashed. Just then, xiamo received a call from her manager that her brother has collasped in the hospital! Frantically and pale, she ran out with Ouchen trailing. Luoxi wanted to follow seeing her expression but shenqiao tried to stop him. He ignored her and dashed out but was too late, the other two had gone.
Xiamo was panicky and crying all the way as ouchen drove them to the hospital. Looking at her, Ouchen had feeling the pain at her state. When she saw her manager, the manager initially was so panicky and gave xiamo the impression that her brother had died. Ouchen told the manager to calm down and say things thru properly and only then she managed to say that it wasnt too bad but because she felt helpess, she panicked and called xiamo. However, Xiamo still didnt recover from the shock. Luoxi meanwhile was making calls to find out which hospital they are in.
Alone, Ouchen couldnt bear to see her suffering, and told Xiamo that he is willing to do the transplant and just forget the deal. He simply couldnt bear to be the one to torture her like this, so he will do the transplant. However, a very dazed Xiamo simply muttered" let's get married". At that precise moment, Luoxi appeared and overheard what she said. He was crushed and Ouchen even though shocked, was more than happy to agree.
Luoxi couldnt get over the grieve and tried to overpack his schedule with work. His boss intervened and stopped his foolishness. The boss told Luoxi something must be amissed and the two must have a misundertsanding. They should talk and clear it up. Luoxi however said he saw it with his own eyes. However the boss said even if he saw something, it doesnt mean he understand the whole picture. Luoxi then queried didn the boss never loved anyone before? The boss said he had lied. He had previously loved a woman very very much despite that she comes from an influential family and wealth. However one day when she was out entertaining, she barged onto the scene where he was "cosy" with a bargirl. His love turned and fled the scene and he lost touch with her ever since. The boss claimed that it was the work of the girl;s father whose aim was to sow discord between them. Listening to that, Luoxi decided to make another attempt to talk to Xiamo.
Meanwhile, Xiamo was in bookstore with Ouchen, looking for a book for her brother. He walked to her and asked if she was ready. She looked at her list and said she was done. However Ouchen noticed something. When she was ready to pay, she commented to the cashier that the store was surprisingly empty. The cashier cast a furtive glance at Ouchen and kept quiet. Xiamo then realised that ouchen had book the whole bookstore for her to browse in leisure! She wanted to pay for the books and Ouchen relented. However he asked the cashier why isnt there a particular book (that was on Xiamo's list)? Xiamo was surprised by his observation. The cashier replied it was sold out and wasnt stock yet. He told her to inform him once it was in.
On way to hospital, Ouchen asked Xiamo if she hates him (for the condition). She said she is not. Infact afetr she thot it thru, she felt that Ouchen really wasnt obliged to help at all since they ar not even related! Ouchen offered to delay the wedding (implied: so that she can care for her brother to recovery) but Xiamo declined, saying that since the date is fixed and informed, its too much of a hassle. Infact, she promised Ouchen that after they are married, she will strived to be a good wife. Ouchen was visibly happy to hear that. After he dropped her off, Ouchen made a call to delay the wedding. And the he rushed to the bookstore to get the book she had wanted to get for her brother.
Meanwhile, Xiamo saw Luoxi. He tried to talk to xiamo saying that she must have been forced and what was the reasons. Xiamo denied being forced. Luoxi then went into the emotional state and started talking about the past where the 3 of them had taken part in the contest etc... Then he forcefully kissed Xiamo! Xiamo tried to push him off and when they did part, Luoxi saw Ouchen standing not far staring at them. Xiamo was at loss for words. However, Ouchen walked towards her and as he put his arms round her, he announced that he had called but the church dates are full and he wasnt able to postponed the wedding.
With that, the two of them walked off leaving a lonely anguished Luoxi.
Afterthought
This episode grinds on my nerves a little because luoxi is sooooo wishy washy with his insecurity and I dont get why Xiamo seemed to have an issue of stubborness to just spill the beans and come clean with Luoxi about her problems. She doesnt treat him like a bf, thus compounding all his insecurities. I suppose thhe show wanted to make her seemed strong but she comes across more like someone who neglects the feelings of people ard her. Since she already know who luoxi's boss is the person she needs to contact, couldnt she tell luoxi about the truth instead of telling ouchen? And why didnt she just tell luoxi about ouchen;'s condition? Its soooo vexing seeing 2 idiotic people circiling chasing after their own tail!
I actually kinda like Ouchen character the most. Even though he is overly possessive, at least he gives it his all for the person he love. He doesnt become wishy washy like Luoxi. He would do anything to try to complete her world. To be fair, he didnt mean to cost the death of her parents and he WAS remorseful and promised to change but she didnt give him the chance. After all that and despite all that, he still loves her insanely and willing to go thru the transplant risk for her. Seriously, he is th most pitiful of them all!
I wonder if xiaochen is ouchen's brother? I am guessing Luoxi's boss is Ouchen;s birth father...
