“Teacher Shen, I got into South China University.”
Late one night, Shen Qingxiu was woken by a phone call.
He listened to the low, murmuring voice on the other end.
His thoughts instantly returned to the village surrounded by Mount Heng, and the children’s clear eyes.
And also to that cool night in a scorching summer, and the young man’s fervent heartbeat.
He and the young man
had not seen each other in three years.
