On a midsummer afternoon with the cicadas chirping noisily, in the shade of the sycamore trees, Wen Chuhuai clutched the hem of his school uniform and raised his face to meet Xu Siran's eyes: "Xu Siran, when we graduate... Can we be together?"
The young man was leaning on the railing, with his school uniform half draped over his shoulders. He lowered his eyes when he heard the words, his Adam's apple rolled over his throat and laughed: "Can a good girl say something like this? Okay, I'll wait and see how you fulfill it."
One afternoon, the bell rang for the end of the college entrance examination. The boy put down the pen in his hand. The moment he walked out of the classroom, he felt unprecedented heartache, which was so suppressed that he could hardly breathe.
"Xu Siran, I'm sorry..."
When the boy saw that familiar face again, it no longer had any warmth, and only the crumpled mint candy paper in his pocket reminded him of this promise that was forever buried in midsummer.
