In the summer after the college entrance examination, it rained heavily in Guangzhou and also in Suzhou.
Tang Tang stood by the old window in Suzhou, looking at the unfamiliar rain and thinking of Guangzhou thousands of miles away. My left ear was still hazy, and the sound of rain seemed to be separated by a thin film, making it hard to hear clearly.
She remembered that the last time she saw Fu Qingxiao was one evening in the second semester of her second year of high school. When she received the news and rushed to the hospital that day, her mother was already gone. Car accident, on the spot. She stood in the corridor, unable to cry. Later, she was under sixteen years old and legally could only go to her father's side. When her father came to pick her up, his expression was complicated, and his new wife and daughter stood beside him. He said: "Let me send you back to my grandfather's house in Suzhou for a while." It was like throwing a hot ball.
The night before leaving Guangzhou, she sent him a WeChat message: "I'm going to transfer to another school."
There was silence for a long time, so long that she thought there would be no reply. Then he said: "Where to go?" "Suzhou."
Silence again. He ended by saying, "Take care of yourself."
She stared at those six words, tears falling on the screen. She wanted to say many things. She wanted to say that I have liked you for a long time. She wanted to say that I was afraid that I would never see you again. She wanted to say that you could wait for me. But she said nothing.
She just replied: "You too." After sending it, she turned off her phone.
In the long years, Tang Tang thought that the price of secret love must be the person he misses but can't reach in the strange rain.
Concept: In the long summer, I stood under the sycamore tree and played chess, with the sun shining through the leaves and mottled light and shadow, and the sound of cicadas chirping. Your words next to my right ear, with your warm breath caressing my ear, with your smile and tenderness, made time slow down. That moment became the softest treasure in my heart. I think my heart moved at that time.
