Seventeen-year-old **Lin Xia** is deaf in her right ear and relies on a hearing aid to capture the world. On his first day of transfer, his hearing aid cut off the power in the classroom, and the noisy cicadas and the crowd fell silent for an instant. Until a basketball rolled to his feet, he looked up and saw the ace of the school basketball team, Shen Yubai, squatting in front of him, the sunlight shattering into gold dust on his eyelashes——
"Shen Yubai." The boy pointed to the name tag on his chest, his lips opening and closing like a slow-playing movie, "Yubai's white."
A hearing-impaired boy who remembers sounds with his **eyes**, and a basketball genius who hides his depression with **sweat**. Lin Xia drew the star path of Shen Yubai's dunk in the astronomy club, and Shen Yubai recorded the heartbeat in the locker room just for Lin Xia to adjust the frequency. They thought this summer would never end, until Shen Yubai's father tore up the transportation agreement, and Lin Xia took off her hearing aid and took the initiative to drown out the farewell covered by the chirping of cicadas.
Ten years later, Lin Xia, a hearing rehabilitation specialist, met Shen Yubai, the team coach whose left hand was permanently damaged, in the clinic.
"Can your hearing aid... Can you hear the cicadas clearly now?" Shen Yubai asked.
Lin Xia's diagnosis and treatment records read: **The patient claimed to hear the echo of the seventeen-year-old summer. After testing, the pure tone audiogram showed no abnormalities. **
