Yu He. Healing.
[That summer, the cicadas screamed so loudly they drowned out everything else. I dirtied the top student’s sketchbook with my own hands, and accidentally stained my entire youth, too.]
>
> Lin Yuhe’s biggest accident was knocking over Lin Che’s water.
> It soaked his drawing, and soaked her heart, all caught up in a bewildering first love.
>
> He was a gifted student, aloof and distant, forever keeping everyone at arm’s length.
> Yet he quietly accepted the workbook she bought to replace his, explained difficult problems to her when no one else was around, and held her hand beneath a brilliant shower of fireworks.
> “Lin Yuhe, will you be with me?” With those words, she gambled her entire future.
>
> She never knew that fate had already placed a cliff at the very top.
> She wore a well-practiced smile, but her heart no longer stirred.
> No one ever mentioned those days again. Only that wrinkled sketchbook remained, preserving the cicadas’ song, the scent of mint, and the love that could never have a happy ending.
