Never-Ending Summer 《炽夏》 Chì Xià
Based on the novel "Zhui Luo" by Tian Cu Yu. To pay for her ill grandmother’s medicine, top student Zhou Wan approaches the unruly Lu Xixiao — her estranged mother’s stepson. What starts as a deal slowly turns real, until a misunderstanding tears them apart. Ten years later they meet again at work, and old feelings reignite.
