Summer Murder

Many years later, one afternoon, Song Xueshu stood in a small courtyard bustling with greenery. In front of him, a young Italian cypress grew in a crock of preserved eggs, while its owner, Xia Zhi, lay in the bamboo rocking chair beside it. Soft sunlight gilded Xia Zhi's cheek with a faint golden glow. His long eyelashes were closed, and he looked peaceful as he directed him: "Be gentle. Baby gave it to me yesterday. I'll be angry if you break it, Xueshu." "Oh, it won't break." Song Xueshu rolled up one trouser leg and bent down to dig the soil, his expression calm. These days, he kept dreaming of the Xia Zhi of the past: Xia Zhi with no faint scar across his belly, who liked to tie his hair in a little knot, whose gymnastics leotard clung to his sweaty body, and who would give him a disdainful cat-eyed look because the soda he'd bought wasn't cold enough. That Xia Zhi was eighteen, and Song Xueshu was seventeen. Summer.
