Synopsis
In the midsummer when I was sixteen years old, the cicadas were so noisy that it made me panic. A pale high school entrance examination report card, like a loud slap in the face, shattered all Wen Yuqing's dreams about high school life. In desperation, she was pushed into the big dye vat of society. Her family found her a job as a hotel waiter through connections. From then on, her world was no longer one of books and playgrounds, but of greasy dishes and chopsticks that could never be finished washing and a boring and busy kitchen. Those remaining expectations about the future were gradually ground into ashes in the smoke and fire day after day. But it seems that fate has no intention of letting this girl fall into the dust. Not long after, she was defrauded of the little savings she had. At that moment, the grievances and despair that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly broke out. Standing on the bustling street, she felt like a joke abandoned by the world. She just wanted to retreat and completely accept her fate. Just when she was about to fall into the abyss, her sister held her tightly. With the encouragement of her sister, Wen Yuqing changed her environment and became an administrator in the city library. It was quiet, cool, and smelled good of paper, making it her new safe haven. It was also here that she met her cheerful best friend, who was like a beam of light shining into her dark and humid life. He chatted with her to relax, and gradually pulled her out of the shadow of failure in the high school entrance examination. One afternoon, the sun shines on the table through the blinds. She accidentally noticed the boy in the corner. He was always immersed in writing questions, his back silent and firm. After several brief acquaintances, Wen Yuqing quietly developed a liking for him. Later, she learned that this boy was on the road to repeating his studies for the second time, and he was focusing almost all his attention on studying without any distractions. Looking at his back studying hard day after day, Wen Yuqing's lifeless heart began to waver. It turns out that life can still burn so passionately. The long-lost desire to study reawakened, and she decided to pick up books and prepare for the college entrance examination again. The road to preparing for the exam was full of ups and downs, but fortunately, she met many kind-hearted people who were willing to lend a helping hand. Time flies by, and another midsummer arrives as promised. This time, she and the boy stood side by side in front of the examination room. The two people walked into the examination room together and rushed to their future. However, the ending of the story is not satisfactory. After the college entrance examination, the boy who had fought alongside her suddenly lost contact. It was like a gust of wind that blew through her entire youth without leaving any trace. Intention: Use your dim light to walk out of the long night, run side by side but get separated in the middle of summer.
