Late for a Summer

Nineteen-year-old Yang Qing, a freshman in the Art Department of T University, has a nice voice and a smile like summer sparkling water. He was pulled into a speech hall and met the 24-year-old Mu Yichen, the boss of Chenxing Club. He was cold and gentle, and his smile only had a slightly curved corner of his mouth. On the day he signed the contract, Mu Yichen handed him the key to the live broadcast room. His fingertips were cold. "Have you decided on a stage name?" "Qingqing." Yang Qing blurted out. Mu Yichen leaned against the doorframe and repeated the name in his mouth, as if tasting a piece of candy. "Then Qingqing, I wish you a good time." During the training, Xie Zhiyi asked him to practice the song "Long Time No See" for three days and said: "When singing, you should make the listener feel that you have really not seen that person for a long time." Yang Qing closed his eyes, and all he could think of was Mu Yichen sitting under the blinds. During the first trial broadcast, there was only one person online in the live broadcast room. Yang Qing sang four songs. A line of text popped up in the chat box: "Nice to hear."——The ID is "Chen". Later, they formed CP and the popularity exploded. Later, he left the hall and blocked that person. He thought summer was over. But that person searched all the mutual friends and looked through the chat history. Another summer, standing downstairs in his dormitory, his voice became hoarse: "Qingqing, I'm late. But this time, I don't want to be late again." It turns out that some people are late for summer, But once you come, you won't leave again. Intent: This is a story about "being late" and "reunion". Not all misses are too late to recover, and not all regrets are irreparable. Yang Qing and Mu Yichen met in the summer, separated due to misunderstanding and timidity, and found each other again the next summer. The story explores the subtle connection between voice and emotion through the special online space of the Voice Hall - we often fall in love with someone through their voice, but it takes a long time to learn to get closer to them sincerely. Mu Yichen went from being cold and distant to taking the initiative, and Yang Qing went from worrying about gains and losses to brave acceptance. The growth of the two reflects the truest appearance of young people in love: they will be afraid, shrink, and make wrong decisions, but as long as they are willing to look back, summer will never end. What the work hopes to convey is: love can be late, but it cannot be absent. Every miss is a foreshadowing of the next reunion, and courage is the only answer that allows people who go round and round to finally come together.
