In the summer when I was seventeen, the cicadas chirped from morning to night, as if they would never stop.
Zhou Li returned to school after a year off and was assigned to be the classmate of Gu Xichao, the top student in grade. He doesn't like to talk, and always wears a brushed black rubber band on his wrist. He can swim very well, but when he is running 800 meters, he will suddenly lose his attention and look at a long-closed used bookstore across the road.
When she didn't speak, there were photo albums that he didn't dare to open. The two of them were separated by a silent middle line of desks, each hiding wounds that others could not see.
Gu Xichao writes numbers on his scratch paper every day, starting from "Day 37" and decreasing day by day. Zhou Li didn't know what he was counting down, nor did he know where the crescent-shaped scar on the inside of his wrist came from. She only knew that every time it rained, he would stand at the door of the teaching building waiting for her; every time she couldn't solve a math problem, he would write down the steps to solve the problem in more detail than the teacher; every time someone asked about the rubber band, he would say "I'm used to it," and his tone was too calm to be true.
Before the summer is over, the cicadas will stop chirping and secrets will emerge.
And some people don't know that they can be seen so completely by another person before they meet each other.
——The rubber band on your wrist turned out to be to hide the scar.
——What about you? What are you hiding when you are silent?
The cicadas stop chirping at the age of seventeen, but the story does not.
