Thirteen-year-old Xia Yaxi first met He Qingnian at an Olympiad math class, and from then on, she could never forget him.
At eighteen, after winning the Olympiad math championship, Xia Yaxi stood at the awards ceremony with tears in her eyes and said, "I like you. Did you hear me?" But no one ever answered.
At thirteen, He Qingnian fell for someone at first sight for the first time. For the first time, he wanted to be someone's best friend forever and ever.
At sixteen, He Qingnian was full of youthful vigor, smiling brightly and passionately as he looked at the math problem on the rooftop wall.
At seventeen, He Qingnian finally realized that even best friends couldn't stay together forever.
A boy's love was timid and careful, buried beneath the clamor of midsummer. The secret that belonged only to them, on that rooftop that summer, was never spoken of again.
"Turn around and look at me."
"You know, I only want to go back to that summer, to see the fireworks of that one day."
Ten summers and ten years of fireworks passed between them.
Sadly, through every year you didn't love me, I prayed on my annual tours that you would belong to summer forever.
