Born into a wealthy family, Cheng Qianyu was always bold and flamboyant. His three-pointers were always on target, making him a star at No. 6 High School.
Yun Yusheng, who had come from a small town, always kept her head down and stayed by herself. She was practically invisible.
She thought she and Cheng Qianyu would never have anything to do with each other, but through a twist of fate, they became deskmates.

In a dim private room, a group of people started playing a game.
Yun Yusheng drew the only Werewolf card. Her palms were sweaty, and she kept giving herself away. By the end, all the evidence pointed to her.
Everyone laughed and teased her, saying she was sure to drink the penalty, while they waited for the crucial vote from Cheng Qianyu.
At the very last moment, Cheng Qianyu held up his hands and switched sides.
Yun Yusheng stared at him, momentarily stunned. Before she could gather her thoughts, she saw him raise his eyes with a faint, inexplicable chuckle.
"You win."

Back in middle school, a tall, lean boy transferred into the class next door. He had monolid eyes, a cold gaze, and few words. He never wore his uniform, always dressed in black, and spent most of his time sleeping at his desk.
Like the other girls, Xue Yuening would pretend to head to the restroom during breaks, clutching her books and hurrying past his window with a flushed face.
But she never dared to look at him openly.
On graduation day, she watched the girls go one by one to give him love letters, only to be driven away by his coldness, just as she'd expected.
Xue Yuening waited until the evening sky was ablaze before finally working up the courage to run over and say his name for the first time.
"C-Chen Zhuo."
In the afterglow of sunset, the boy's fingers paused as he lit a cigarette. He glanced over, his eyes half-lidded and expressionless.
His gaze rested for a moment on the jar of paper stars in her arms. Then he pointed casually in another direction. "Go play somewhere else."
The seed of "liking" in her heart had only just begun to sprout when it withered away.

After graduating, Xue Yuening spent three years drifting around Guangzhou without getting anywhere. On the day she was debating whether to end her lease and return home, fate took an unexpected turn: she ran into those familiar eyes in the hallway.
That night, Xue Yuening posted an urgent plea for help on Douban: "My roommate is the guy I had a crush on in middle school. What should I do!!!"
Many years later, someone happened to find her post history. He immediately registered an account and replied earnestly to every person in the thread: "Thanks, everyone. We're together now."
Across the river of all those long years, every bittersweet thought she'd kept hidden as a girl would one day find its happy ending.

One night before they got together, the power went out. The man was about to leave for overtime at the office when Xue Yuening couldn't help grabbing the edge of his sleeve. Looking pitiful, she asked, "Could you stay? It's so dark in here, and I'm scared."
At that, he raised an eyebrow and gave a quiet scoff. "Am I a light bulb?"
Later, when Xue Yuening was giving him the silent treatment, the shameless man cut the power, then knocked on her door with a pillow in his arms and an earnest look on his face. "I don't mind being your light bulb."
Bonus Scene:
With the high school entrance exams approaching, the dean was determined to crack down on the bad influence of young love. His first target was naturally Chen Zhuo, whose handsome face had stolen the hearts of half the girls in the year.
Dragged to the office in the middle of a nap to hear a lecture, the boy let it all go in one ear and out the other, until he heard the dean drop hints about who else might be showing signs of young love.
He narrowed his eyes and immediately scribbled down several names.
They belonged to the boys who had been pursuing Xue Yuening most aggressively at the time.
Theme: Study hard and keep improving.
The stories in this timeline have overlapping memories with my youth. That year, Mango Channel launched a program called "I Am a Singer", and a singer named Deng Ziqi emerged. Her "Bubble" and covers of "Like You" and "Tornado" all became regulars on the school radio station. It was also that year that I started to like Jay's slow songs, "Sunny Day", "Simple Love" and later Eason Chan's "Elimination" and Wei Lan's "Big Brother". When I was in junior high school, I had long heard that the Mayan prophecies were very powerful, so I longed for what the end of the world would be like on that day. From that day on, I would sing Jay's "End of the World" repeatedly, "The sky is gray, will it make me forget who you are? The darker the night, the humbler the dream, the harder to pursue and the harder to remember. My world will be destroyed, and maybe things will go against my wishes." Talking back to "Canned Summer": Young love is unforgettable, but young friendship is also rare. The friendship between teenagers and girls written by Jiang Jiang is very unique and beautiful. It has an atmosphere of "I ran away from the small town for half a year, but when I came back, my old friends warmed up the wine and bragged, and it was comfortable and leisurely." There was no alienation, and they were even more familiar and more unrestrained. While camping to watch the stars and watch the sunrise, I actually thought of Xiao Xu's "I Can". The romantic lyrics of "I can take you to see the stars, no need to explain any more, I just want to be with you" became a secret code that only two people in Rain can understand. Xiao Xie Qingqing, to me is a pair of ghostly CPs, from campus to wedding dress, an unexpected combination. In fact, I really want to see how this pair starts to develop. If there is a chance to turn it into a physical book, I hope Jiang Jiang will expand it, or occasionally post a clip on Weibo for sale. Qi Xu's fiery character helps his friends in every possible way and helps them emotionally. This friend is worth it. As for the relationship, the blank plot makes me imagine that their ending must also be a noisy he. People who are in love for a long time have teenage friends who will never be separated, and of course there are young lovers who will never be separated. Cheng Qianyu and Yun Yusheng met in the season when the cicadas chirped the loudest. That season was very naughty, and people were often caught off guard by the little troubles it brought, especially after they had been showered with countless rains, but only that one rain without saying hello was the most special and profound. The world after the rain is hot, stuffy, and sticky. The young knight who used to hold the sword in the girl's dream has now become a famous hero standing in the valley, quietly admiring this long-lost rainy day, at that moment they reunited, rushed to each other, and fell in love. The family love in Jiang Jiang's works is also the most suffocating. As a person who often uses BE novels as a way to adjust my life, sometimes I can't bear a fatal blow like yours. Especially the description of Yusheng's "arranged marriage" by his mother reminded me of my fifth sister. When she was a child, she and her third brother were playing with gas. The third brother burned his face. Although it could be repaired later, the marks were still obvious. However, the fifth sister's legs could no longer walk upright. Her right hand could not be straightened and could only be bent and rested on the side of her upper body. Her uncle didn't buy her a wheelchair, so she always sat on the ground dirty, relying on the palm of her still healthy and strong left hand to push forward on the ground and move her body vigorously. But the most regrettable thing is that she could not have a complete campus life at that flowery age. Despite this, every summer I would bring my homework and beg my dad to take me back to the countryside. In the morning she watched me do my homework, and I occasionally taught her to read. In the evening, I sat with her on the dirt at the door, each holding a small native dog, looking at the mountains in the distance and the gentle wind. As time goes by, I still miss that time the most. When I went to college, the clarion call for independence sounded with my mother. After working part-time outside during the summer vacation, I never went back to see my fifth sister. The last time I heard about her was when my sophomore year started. My dad called me to inquire about my situation. He accidentally mentioned that my fifth sister was getting married to a bachelor from the next village. The man had no parents, had a slight leg defect and had a small native dog. After my uncle confirmed everything with that man that day, he sent her there the next day. At that moment, I couldn't rationally judge my uncle's actions. I only knew that the end of the world that belonged to me was coming, and from that day on, the fifth sister no longer belonged to herself. The long-ago "End of the World" was awakened by me again, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, if you are sad, just leave it perfunctorily. I hope the despair and helplessness will fly away." Finally, as Sun Wanyan said, "A valley without echo is not worth a lifetime leap." Love must be responded to, no matter what kind of emotion it is. As for Jiang Jing, who is still working hard, she will still stay alone in her valley, holding her Qingshan pen, happily being a girl scribbling. She also looks forward to the day when more people will notice her scribblings when they pass by here. Although my response comes a little later and I haven't found enough treasures in the valley, I look through the comment section of every book and chapter and see that every time you send something, someone can respond enthusiastically. Even if the voice is not loud, being sincere to each other will definitely attract more responses in the future. Just like now, I am exchanging another story with your "Canned Summer" and leaving behind this written memory. I firmly believe that they in the story will be happy and safe, and outside of the story, we must work harder to chase our own mountains and rivers. It's a great honor to be able to experience the flavor story of summer in May in advance. Just like Cheng Qianyu said "summer is over" for Yusheng on the phone, he was able to design the "summer canned" software for love. In this way, he retained summer for Yusheng and locked in their out-of-print youth and heartbeat. In the same way, he also locked in the short-term resonance between you and me.
I don't quite understand that such a family and parents actually want to get family affection in it. I shouldn't have seen through it long ago. I left them and the final ending was a bit frustrating... Angry... You can not have children. This is a personal choice, but when facing a lover who loves you, how can you not long for a home of your own? It feels like the heroine said she doesn't want children just to anger her own parents. Such parents don't need to waste any emotion and emotion on them!!
It's so good. Second viewing. But there are too few extras. There is no description of how to punish the heroine's parents. I really hate these parents. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I came to see them again. Time flies so fast. In 56 days, the 21-year-old can will be 3 years old! I don't understand why I, Jiang, chose the time to publish. It has been 9 months since I became associated with this story. Whenever I think of the first time I met it, I always feel that it was careless, rushed and regretful. In the subsequent busy life, I will occasionally take time to come back and pick up some fragments to inject myself with a strong injection, and make up for it bit by bit. There may be some small flaws in this story, like the spots and pimples that suddenly appear on the face of an adolescent girl overnight. There will be flaws in it, but it also has some foolish feelings outside the story. It will follow your creative experience, heal, transform, shed scabs, and finally restore its purest essence. The title of the book, including the story, gives me the feeling that it is like the weather in the new semester in spring, which is the gentle wind blowing through a girl's hair; like the hot sunshine in the beginning of summer casting the mottled shadow of the boy who skipped classes under the shade of the tree; the reunion between Yusheng and Qianyu is like the full moon again in the mid-autumn season; the commitment and love are more like the first snowfall in winter and the years. The whole is the extreme version of all the good things in one. It is my willingness to fall into the story for thousands of years at a glance. It is my joyful choice to meet you in the huge Jinjiang River and start a pure rush that you write and I read. Summer, winter or spring, no matter which season you open it, you will really have a different reading experience. Just like what is said on the Internet, "The god of canned yellow peach will bless every sick Northeast child." Similarly, "summer canned food" will also give me the vitality to resurrect in place. Looking forward to the pre-sale day.
After all, novels are just novels, and the reality is that the heroine may be controlled by her parents and marry Lu Xiao. For the rest of her life, violence and abuse will be filled with her life. She may gradually become like her mother. How sad. Reality is reality and it will never be a novel. It is impossible for someone like the male protagonist to save them.
The secret love on campus finally bears fruit in midsummer. May they be happy forever

So refreshing, so nostalgic, it has been stored all summer long
Thanks to Cheng Qianyu's bravery, their love came to fruition
I finished reading it. I stayed up late and cried several times. I hope there will be another one soon.
