"The Rose Hidden in Midsummer" September 1, 2015, City A No. 1 Senior High School. Xu Si leaned against the door frame of the back door of the classroom, holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, watching the students rushing past in the corridor. The midsummer sunlight streamed in through the glass windows, casting a long slanting shadow at his feet. "Xu Si! Are you so virtuous on the first day of school?" The voice of the head teacher, Lao Yang, came from behind, "Put away the cigarette, and your hair, you must dye it back tomorrow!" Xu Si slowly stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket, played with his rebellious silver-gray hair with his fingers, and showed a nonchalant smile: "I know, Lao Yang." He walked into the classroom and glanced at the class that was already mostly occupied. On the first day of school, the classroom was filled with the noise of reunion after a long absence. Xu Si walked straight to the window seat in the last row—that was his exclusive seat. As soon as he sat down, Lao Yang knocked on the podium: "Quiet! There is a new classmate in our class today." Xu Si looked up and saw a girl in a light dress standing next to the podium. The sun shone in through the window behind her, giving her a soft silhouette. She stood there quietly, like a rose in bud. "My name is Jiang Qiao, nice to meet you all." Her voice was very soft, but surprisingly clear. Xu Si noticed that there was a small pear dimple at the corner of her mouth when she spoke, and she loomed with a smile. She looked very thin, and her exposed wrists were so slender that they looked like they would break if broken. "Jiang Qiao is not in good health, please take care of her." Lao Yang looked around the classroom, his eyes resting on Xu Si for a second, "You can sit next to Xu Si, in the last row by the window." There was a burst of whispers in the classroom. Xu Si raised his eyebrows - as we all know, no one wants to sit with a "problem student" like him. Jiang Qiao walked over quietly and sat down next to Xu Si. Xu Si smelled a faint medicinal fragrance, mixed with the faint scent of roses. "Hello." She said softly, her eyes like two pools of clear spring water. Xu Si wanted to scare this seemingly well-behaved new deskmate as a prank, but he changed his mind the moment he saw her eyes. He smiled and said, "Xu Si." The first class was mathematics. Xu Si was sleeping on the table as usual, but he always felt someone's eyes falling on him from time to time. He raised his head slightly and saw Jiang Qiao taking notes seriously, occasionally frowning in thought like a confused little rabbit. When the bell rang, Xu Si stretched and found Jiang Qiao taking out a thermos cup and a small medicine box from his schoolbag. She poured out a few pills and swallowed them with warm water. "Are you sick?" Xu Si asked casually. Jiang Qiao didn't seem to expect that he would take the initiative to talk. He was stunned for a moment before replying: "Well, my stomach is not feeling well." Xu Si noticed that she bit her lower lip subconsciously after finishing speaking, as if she was hiding something. He didn't ask any more questions and instead took out a pack of chewing gum from the drawer: "Want to eat it?" Jiang Qiao shook her head: "The doctor said you can't eat these." She paused and added, "Thank you." Xu Si shrugged, peeled off a piece and threw it into his mouth. He noticed a delicate little rose pendant hanging on Jiang Qiao's schoolbag, which glowed softly in the sunlight. "Like roses?" He pointed to the pendant. Jiang Qiao's eyes lit up: "Yeah, I like it the most. I have a lot of plants in my yard, and they bloom the best in summer." Xu Si was about to say something when a commotion suddenly came from the front door of the classroom. He looked up and saw several boys pushing and shoving in. The leader was Zhang Hao from the school basketball team. "Hey, Xu Si, I heard that you have a new deskmate?" Zhang Hao walked over swaggeringly and glanced around Jiang Qiao, "Transfer student? He's quite cute." Xu Si narrowed his eyes and quietly moved his chair forward in front of Jiang Qiao: "What's the matter?" Zhang Hao grinned: "You can't come and see if you have nothing?" He suddenly reached for the thermos cup on Jiang Qiao's table, "What are you drinking so mysteriously?" Before Jiang Qiao could react, Xu Si had already grabbed Zhang Hao's wrist: "Don't touch her things." His voice was not loud, but it made the surrounding area quiet instantly. Zhang Hao struggled to free himself, but his expression changed: "Xu Si, what do you mean?" "Literally." Xu Si let go of his hand, his eyes as cold as ice, "Go back to your seat." Zhang Hao cursed and walked away. Jiang Qiao whispered: "Thank you." Xu Si leaned back on the chair and his tone returned to his usual casual tone: "You're welcome, they just need to be dealt with." Jiang Qiao looked at him and suddenly smiled: "What you said is different from what they said." "What did they say about me?" "It's scary to say that you..." Jiang Qiao answered honestly, and quickly added, "But I don't think so." Xu Si was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "That's because you don't understand me yet." When school was over at noon, Jiang Qiao was very slow to pack his schoolbag. Xu Si had already stood up to leave, but when he saw her struggling to stuff a bunch of books into her bag, she sat back down. "Want to help?" He asked. Jiang Qiao shook his head: "No, thank you." She zipped up her schoolbag and took out a lunch box from it, "Well... My mother made two lunch boxes, do you want to eat them together?" Xu Si looked at her in surprise: "Why?" Jiang Qiao's face turned slightly red: "Just... Thank you for helping me this morning." Xu Si wanted to refuse, but seeing her expectant eyes, he nodded mysteriously. They went to the small garden behind the school. Jiangqiao's bento is very exquisite, with rice, vegetables and meat cut into small pieces. Xu Si noticed that her portion was obviously much less. "You eat so little?" Jiang Qiao lowered her head and fiddled with the rice: "Well, I have a bad stomach, so I can't eat much." She looked up and saw Xu Si devouring the food, and couldn't help but laugh, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you." Sunlight shone on Jiang Qiao's face through the gaps in the leaves, and Xu Si suddenly discovered that her eyelashes were light brown in the sun, trembling gently like butterfly wings. "Why did you transfer to another school?" Xu Si asked. Jiang Qiao paused for a moment: "My parents' jobs have been transferred." She changed the subject, "What about you? Why did you dye your hair such a special color?" Xu Si touched his hair and said, "Rebellion. My dad tells me to go east and I go west, that's it." "Is your dad... Very strict?" "Strict?" Xu Si sneered, "He can only drink and hit people, so he is not strict." He regretted it as soon as he said it. He never told anyone this kind of family matter, so he didn't know why he blurted it out in front of this girl he had just known for a long time. Jiang Qiao did not show surprise or sympathy, but said softly: "My parents rarely go home, and there are only me and the nanny Liu Mama at home." She looked up at the sky, "Sometimes I think the clouds in summer look like cotton candy." Xu Si followed her gaze, and suddenly felt that this quiet girl had a magical power that could make the most ordinary things special. In the afternoon physical education class, Jiang Qiao sat under the shade of a tree with a leave slip in hand and watched other people running. After Xu Si ran two laps, he slid over and sat down next to her. "Why don't you go play ball?" Jiang Qiao asked. Xu Si opened a bottle of water and took a few sips: "I'm too lazy to move." He caught a glimpse of Jiang Qiao holding a sketchbook in his hand, "What are you drawing?" Jiang Qiao closed the book with some embarrassment: "Draw whatever you want." "Show me." Jiang Qiao hesitated for a moment, but handed it over. Xu Si opened the book and saw a lifelike rose, along with several sketches - a yawning cat, falling leaves, and... A boy with silver-gray hair sleeping on the table. Xu Si pointed at the sketch: "Is this me?" Jiang Qiao's ears turned red: "Well... You drew it when you were sleeping in the morning." Xu Si suddenly felt that his heartbeat was a little fast. He closed the book and gave it back to her: "Nice painting." It started to rain lightly when school was over. Xu Si stood at the door of the teaching building and watched Jiang Qiao open an umbrella with a small rose printed on it. "You didn't bring an umbrella?" She asked. Xu Si shrugged: "I didn't check the weather forecast this morning." Jiang Qiao hesitated: "I live close by, so I'll lend you my umbrella." Xu Si shook his head: "No, this little rain is nothing." He paused, "See you tomorrow, little rose." Jiang Qiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "See you tomorrow, Xu Si." Seeing Jiang Qiao's back disappear in the rain, Xu Si touched his chest, where a strange feeling was spreading. What he didn't know was how this little rose would change his life this summer. At the same time, Jiang Qiao was walking home, took out the pill box from his bag, and swallowed two more pills. The doctor's words echoed in her mind: "For up to three years, do what you want to do." She looked up at the city in the rain and gently touched the rose pendant on her schoolbag.

Reader note

The plot of this book is simply "high-energy". The hook is laid from the beginning, and every chapter has a twist. It is impossible to stop. Even if I stay up late to read it, I feel that it is still unfinished! The plot is so tight that I can't breathe, and the foreshadowing is deep and wonderful. Only when I saw the ending did I suddenly realize that all the previous details were foreshadowing. This feeling of peeling off the cocoons is so refreshing! The story is like a "tight web", weaving suspense, warmth, and conflict into it. Every time I think I have guessed the direction, the next second I am overturned by the author's imagination. I am led along the whole process but willingly. 2. Highlight the characterization. The characters in the book are too "live". Even the supporting characters have their own obsessions and stories. They are not tool people. I will remember their eyes and choices for a long time after reading the book. The protagonist's growth line is so "prickly", from cowardice to determination, from confusion to sobriety, every step of the transformation is as real as if it happened around you, you can cry with him and laugh with him. The villain's "charm" even overshadows the protagonist's. His motivations and logic are self-consistent, and he is so evil that people can't hate him, but can't help but understand the helplessness behind him. 3. Rendering the atmosphere and writing style The author's writing style "has its own sense of picture". When describing the scene, it is like a movie unfolding in front of the eyes, such as a humid alley, a snowy night, and even the smell of the air can be smelled through the words. The atmosphere of the whole book is "absolutely amazing". The suspenseful parts make people feel chills on the back, while the tender parts warm the heart. The two emotions are repeatedly pulled together, leaving me feeling sour and soft after reading it. The language is "accurate and sharp", there is no nonsense, and one line can hit the pain point. For example, the protagonist's sentence "It turns out that growing up is learning to reconcile with regrets." I was stunned for a long time after reading it. 4. Arouse resonance and thinking. This book is like a "mirror". It writes about the struggles and desires of ordinary people so realistically. After reading it, I can't help but think: Isn't this about me? The discussion about "choice" is so poignant, and the forks in each character's path are heart-wrenching. I closed the book and still thought: If it were me, would I choose the left or the right? It seems to be telling other people's stories, but in fact, it hides the "truth of life", such as the helplessness in the workplace and the fetters of family. You laugh when you laugh and cry, and you understand when you cry. 5. Recommended for everyone If you like "slow-burning but powerful" stories, you must read this book. The details that are foreshadowed in the front turn into knives in the back. It is suitable for "reading alone late at night". Turn off the lights and follow the protagonist to complete his journey. When you close the book, it is almost dawn, but your heart is bright. It's a good book to read when you're short of books. No matter you usually like suspense, romance or realistic themes, you can find something to poke you in it. These terms can adjust the focus according to the specific type of novel (such as suspense, reality, romance, etc.). For example, when recommending suspense novels, emphasize "reversal" and "atmosphere", and when recommending realistic themes, emphasize "resonance" and "realism", making the recommendation more targeted ~ Download the Doubao PC version to experience more powerful AI capabilities
