Lu Yiye brought Zuo Ruiju home. She was four years younger than him.
He even became her guardian.
Everything changed when her true nature came to light.
Countless cigarette packs, a thick stack of love letters, and contraceptives shoved into her pocket by bad boys.
Lu Yiye managed to put up with all of that. What finally broke him was a packet of instant milk tea.
He flung it to the ground. "Zuo Ruiju, if you don't want to live, then go die. There's no need to touch this stuff."
Zuo Ruiju immediately guessed the absurd suspicion he had in mind. Deliberately provoking him, she chewed the milk tea powder dry. "Relax. If I really wanted to die, I wouldn't touch that."
"But Officer Lu, take a good look. This is milk tea."
After Lu Yiye left, Zuo Ruiju was alone in the rented room.
With no income, she relied on the salary card Lu Yiye had left behind until she graduated.
The college entrance exams were over.
On June 8, the rain poured down. Lu Yiye, who had been gone for two years, returned to the rented room. That very night, beneath the white light, he slowly undressed the newly eighteen-year-old little Tangerine, sucking on her citrus segments and savoring her juice.
No one knew.
That sweltering summer, a rented room in Weinan concealed countless absurd, passionate secrets.
In Zuo Ruiju's world, summer in Weinan meant peeling paint and dark green moss.
That was, until Lu Yiye returned to Weinan.
