VB: I'm Afraid It'll Be Too Late-
In high school, Chen Yushu was the shining star of Shuyuan No. 3 High School.
Mention his name, and every student at Shuyuan knew him as the handsome upperclassman with the beautiful voice.
Even later generations of students lamented that after Chen Yushu graduated, they never got to hear his voice again.

In high school, Fang Tang loved sitting at her wooden desk on warm, sunny afternoons, listening to music with terrible sound quality playing through the loudspeaker overhead.
But that summer, the song that should have played was replaced by a voice:
"Hello, everyone. I'm Chen Yushu, and this is your lunchtime campus radio."
She turned to look out the window. From then on, her midsummer became a quiet green.
No one knew that before long, she would have a nighttime radio show all to herself.
-
It was her senior year.
Fang Tang left Shuyuan, and she never heard that voice again.
-
Until...
Fang Tang walked down a sunlit corridor, a shadow stretching behind her.
Slowly, she turned around.
Chen Yushu stood in the light wearing a white T-shirt. Behind him were the corridor windows and the vivid green outside.
"Fang Tang."
"Where have you been all these years?"

//
Midsummer is fizzy ramune,
a scraped knee, a shooting star falling from the sky,
a quiet green.
//
Midsummer is the poem you recite.
