In September, the lingering warmth of late summer was lingering in Wutong Lane. Xu Si, who was high-spirited on the basketball court, crashed into the world of Lin Yubai, who was holding an exercise book and smelling of mint. An unexpected shoulder bump, a shared competition draft book, and a strawberry-flavored hard candy brought the two parallels closer together - Xu Si deliberately took a long way home to accompany Lin Yubai, and Lin Yubai quietly put the cranberry biscuits on the corner of Xu Si's desk; the problem-solving ideas handed to him in physics class, the tilted black umbrella on a rainy night, and the sunset seen side by side from the playground bleachers have all become the softest secrets of youth.
But when the transfer notice suddenly fell in Lin Yubai's palm, all the unspoken concerns and the unshared future seemed to be blown away by the wind. Xu Si clutched the competition medal that he had not given away, Lin Yubai hid the note filled with "On the way", and the leaves of the sycamore tree fell and turned green again. Can they meet again in the old days full of mint and candy in a summer when the cicadas chirp again?
