Matsushima's First Summer

A gloomy, absurd, 5G-savvy girl * a gentle, earnest, 2G boy

A pure-love story

1.

Zhan Youxi never expected that after she kindly, if unwillingly, did her new transfer-student deskmate Pei Xu a small favor, he'd latch onto her. He pestered her until she added him on WeChat, and would come to her whenever he didn't understand something.

2.

The only reason Zhan Youxi hadn't deleted him was that he liked every one of her WeChat Moments posts.

That was important.

Because she posted so often, many of her friends had blocked her posts. As a result, even though she had lots of WeChat friends, not many of them gave her likes.

But later, Pei Xu learned to comment.

Things started going in the wrong direction.

[AAAA Heart-to-Heart Tissue Wholesale: There's been an earthquake, S ran off, and I'm still locked in a cage. Who's coming to save me?]

[Pei: Was there an earthquake here? Are you okay? How did you end up in a cage? I'll call 120 for you.]

Zhan Youxi thought he was joking. Three minutes later, an ambulance sounded from downstairs.

Zhan Youxi: ?

[Xixi Isn't Happy: If happiness is Mother Goose, where do I find my glass heart?]

[Pei: Who's Mother Goose?]

Zhan Youxi: ...

[Xiaoxi: I married life. First, I bow to Heaven and Earth and beg them to spare me. Second, I bow to the world and beg it to spare me. Third, I bow to life and beg it to spare me.]

[Pei: Can you marry life?]

The next second, Pei Xu messaged her privately to ask if she'd been having a hard time lately.

Thinking he was messing with her, Zhan Youxi poured out everything that had been upsetting and frustrating her lately, then jokingly sent an emoji of someone hanging themselves.

But after listening, Pei Xu replied seriously, "That's not funny."

The next day at school, he brought Zhan Youxi a box of fruit candies and said earnestly, "Have some candy and cheer up."

3.

Zhan Youxi kept a diary, always believing it was a pastime to help her pass the painful days.

She thought of her diary as her own little world and gave it the literary name Songdao.

Until one day, Songdao welcomed its first summer.
