At the age of seventeen, the rainy season soaked the rust spots of the old lockers. Cheng Qi and Lu Zhaoye were trapped in a glass tank called "Best Friend". The brass bear on the keychain is missing its ears, like a half-sentence of something someone chewed into pieces in the middle of the night. During the fifteen years they shared the same salt water popsicle, someone always tilted his umbrella fifteen degrees to let the heavy rain soak his left shoulder.
The observatory's telescope is covered with eternal water mist, and page 217 of the observation log contains undeveloped film - it is the heart rate belt that Cheng Qi tore off when he won the championship. Hidden in the folds are the Milky Way coordinates carved by Lu Zhaoye with the tip of a needle. The bottom layer of the locker is locked with a rusted password left by the class of 1997, and Cheng Qi always chews painkillers into starlight on rainy nights, saying that they are "a man's Skittles."
When the lens of the entertainment committee member began to collect the fog on Lu Zhaoye's lenses, when the smell of iodophor in the infirmary mixed with the strawberry fragrance, the creases of the rainy season finally tore the navy blue umbrella that had been repaired twenty-three times. Cheng Qi crushed his own shadow while running at night and discovered that half of a deciduous tooth was hidden in the overlapping outline under the street lamp - it was the time capsule that Lu Zhaoye buried in a locust tree cave when he was fourteen. The oxide layer on the surface was peeling off into the shape of a confession.
When the cicada got stuck in the hole in the classroom window screen, someone heard the noise of an old-fashioned tape coming from the locker. The rust of 1997 covered the base of the "Best Partner" trophy, and they were still waiting for a late thunderstorm to detonate those sweat-soaked, unopened summers.
