In the summer when I was seventeen years old, the air was filled with sticky heat that could not be resolved. At that time, Cheng Hongxuan always bought one-piece popsicles, euphemistically called sharing them, but he usually ended up squatting under the basketball hoop and chewing two of them. Sweat slid down the boy's protruding Adam's apple into the collar of his T-shirt. He often looked at the droopy green belt beside the playground and imagined: It would be great if this was a pool.
He had excellent aquatic properties. When he was a child, he was a youngster in the city's youth team. He loved to dive into the blue water and hold his breath until his lungs protested before he suddenly jumped out of the water. He puffed out bubbles like a fish and felt like all the worries in the world had been vomited away.
At that time, he was very popular among his classmates, and he was the kind of central figure who would be surrounded by people asking "Have you cleared the new game?" He would always subconsciously say to Versailles: "I have cleared the level long ago." Then he would receive a lot of praise as "awesome".
Until the news of his parents' divorce hit him like a sap, the boy's meager happiness was instantly wiped out, his stress level went off the charts, and his body honestly chose to have a fever. When the bones in his body ached with pain, he vaguely felt that he had finally turned into a fish, except that it was not swimming freely, but a fish that was about to be cooked. He almost foamed at the mouth during a performance, and was rushed to the hospital to save his life.
The throbbing of adolescence is not without it, like an unripe green apple, the sourness appears and is quickly suppressed by low self-esteem.
She was shining on the stage, and he was in a daze off the stage. I felt like I was tied up by invisible hands and feet, and was thrown into the deep blue sea with a "pop" without even spitting out a bubble.
Now, five years later, he is still sinking in the deep blue.
But this time, Xu Hongxuan chose to be brave.
