Summer of Foam II

Summer of Foam II is the second book in Ming Xiaoxi's Summer of Foam trilogy (Summer of Foam, Summer of Foam II, Summer of Foam III). It continues the emotions and conflicts at the end of the first book and pushes the emotional entanglement of the three protagonists to its most intense stage. The story follows the previous volume: Xia Mo and Luo Xi both came from an orphanage and met at their adoptive parents' home in their youth. Because of shadows left by childhood, the two are guarded and defensive with each other; as they spend time together day by day, the distance between them gradually dissolves. The wealthy young master Ou Chen, who harbors a possessive love for Xia Mo, sends Luo Xi to England in order to separate them. Five years later, Luo Xi becomes a star pursued by the masses, while Xia Mo enters the entertainment industry as a newly signed artist of a record company. The two meet again and come together. Ou Chen, after years of amnesia, slowly regains his memories and takes action to win Xia Mo back. In this volume, Xia Mo formally enters the entertainment circle and once again walks into Ou Chen's life; Luo Xi becomes her boyfriend. The amnesiac Ou Chen gradually pieces together fragments of old memories, and Luo Xi also changes under the dual pressure of emotion and career. The relationships among the three are layered and tangled between the spotlight and private feelings; misunderstandings, old wounds, and new choices intertwine, pushing the characters' fates and conflicts to their peak. The book continues the clear and gorgeous style of the first volume, with a tighter emotional rhythm; the suspense of the ending is largely left for the third volume to reveal.
