Summer's Desire: Ep 13 Review and Summary

Summer's Desire : Ep 13 Recap.

Xiaochen was hospitalised to the shock of ouchen and xiamo.

The doctor declared that even though the transplant was a success, but the other organs had already begun to shut down and now it is only a matter of time. If they are lucky, it would be 3 months at most, else....Xiamo was shocked.

Ouchen had a separate meeting and angrily demanded the doctor to do something. He was exasperated when they said there was nothing else to be done. Ouchen said how is it possible for xiaochen to die before he is even 20yrs? He then told them not to inform xiaomo of the truth for fear of shocking her, but she had already overheard them from outside.

Finally xiaochen died. Yet Xiamo didnt cry and look on. In her mind, xiaochen did not died and wanted to eat her chicken wings. She told him that she didnt cry because they cannot trick her, she knows that xiaochen is alive because god cannot take him away as god had not given xiaochen anything. Ouchen could only look on from the sides unable to do anything to console her.

Xiamo couldnt accept the death of her brother and shut herself into her own world. Ouchen tried all means to help her cope but to no avail. He called up his ex mentor Simon and apologised that he finally understood why the old man had to do what he did in the past. Looking at the zombie state of Xiamo, Ouchen said he now too will do anything just to get Xiamo back to the talking smiling state.

At the same time, Luoxi's boss went to the grave and apologised to Xiaochen for not being able to do anything. He thanked Xiaochen that he would take time to write a letter to him, explaining that he did not blame the father as he knew his mother had truly loved him. He explained that since he is dying, he could no longer hold on to his mother's last momento. A song "Diamond" which was written specially for the father.
Meanwhile Luoxi read from the papers about Xiaochen's death and started packing immediately from his retreat. Shenqiao who had tag along unsolicited saw the news and angrily muttered "Xiamo again". However before Luoxi left, she told him to let her go first since it wont feel as if he had abandon her. As he watched shenqiao leave, Luoxi thought to himself that Shenqiao will always have an important place in his heart.

Ouchen in trying to help Xiamo be "closer" to Xiaochen moved her back to her old place. Xiamo found some old conversations taping that xiaochen had made before he lost his hearing, and started to immense herself completely in the recordings ignoring everything else. Luoxi who came to visit saw the state she was in, had Ouchen aside and punched him. He yelled at Ouchen is that was the so called his way of taking good care of Xiamo? He angrily warned Ouchen that from today onwards, he will keep coming to visit Xiamo and dun Ouchen dare try to play dirty tricks to stop him. Ouchen didnt retaliate and just quietly watched from the sidelines as Luoxi also tried to pull Xiamo out of her depressive state.

One day, zhenen the manager found a script and told Ouchen that a renowned director wanted Xiamo to audition for a role. Initiatlly she had wanted to turn it down ut after reading the script, she felt that it was a tailor made role for xiamo! Ouchen read it and said he will consider. Luoxi who overheard however kicked up a stinker demanding that Xiamo is not in the state or frame of mind to enter the show biz right now. Ouchen contested what if through acting, it could help Xiamo through the pain and through renacting, to become some form of therapy for her? Luoxi rejected the idea saying that she is not some experimential object to go through such trial method. Zhenen interrupted saying the story however really fit Xiamo very well.
She went on to describe the plot, about a couple who was very much in love. The guy is xiaochen a painter but he died and the female character was devasted. Hearing Zhenen, Xiamo showed some reaction and walked to the door surprising everyone. Ouchen urged zhenen to continue, triggering more response from xiamo.

The audition day came. Xiamo did the scene with so much conviction. Ironically, the lines in the script were exactly the same lines tat Xiamo had with her dead brother before he passed away. She didnt believe he was dead. And in her mind, xiaochen said to her he will never leave her. They will always be together. Xiamo muttered to herself that god is fair, he will only take away something from you if he gave you something, however he has not given Xiaochen anything, so he wont take xiaochen away. Everyone present was so moved by Xiamo's emotional scene and the director offered her the role on the spot. Ouchen who was supporting a collapsed Xiamo asked her, if she is willing to accept the role and she nodded.

While taking Xiamo out, pannan and zhenen came to visit xiamo. Ouchen walked away to leave them to talk, not before leaving the script with underlined lines for Xiamo. Zhenen told a zombie xiamo that luoxi is even willing to break his "nonacting break and resume acting for her sake in this movie. As pannan and zhenen were discussing about ouchen';s possible reaction to see luoxi and xiamo acting together intimately, Ouchen was plesantly surprised to see xiamo taking iniative to read the script.

At the shooting scene, Ouchen was relieved to see xiamo becoming"normal" and reactive again. Luoxi later at the bar, told pannan that he used to want to erase xiamo from his memory and wished he never met her, yet now, he would be relieved and happy just to see xiamo willing to eat and smile. All Luoxi wants now is not to fight for Xiamo to be his only, but rather he just want her to be happy. Pannan said he has changed.

At home, when Ouchen was preparing some of xiaochen's drawing for the film, he accidentally came across a letter addressed to his sister xiamo. Ouchen opened the letter and read it...

The next day, Ouchen told zhenen to asked luoxi over as he has something to say to him. Zhenen panicked and said luoxi and xiamo are only acting initmate for the show, is ouchen gonna bashed luoxi? Ouchen said no. He has something else to say to luoxi...

Afterthought

I really like Ouchen more and more....as for Luoxi, so long he will stop persisting his longing for someone else's wife and blaming everyone else, he will be more likeable. I am glad he finally realise he was the fool who gave up Xiamo due to his own insecurity as Ouchen rightly told him off previously.
