**"Rust Summer"**
In the middle of the summer when he was seventeen, Zhou Yuan transferred to a strange high school. His parents are divorced, but they are still wrapped in love, but silence has become a habit. Until he met Lu Ye - the young man who always had a sunny smile.
Lu Ye had everything Zhou Yuan envied: loving parents, a clingy younger brother, and even an overly warm personality. They went from tablemates to best friends, from the stadium to the rooftop, from ignorance to excitement. During their three years of high school, they agreed to take admission in the same university, watch all four seasons together, and love each other openly.
But his fate suddenly collapsed after the college entrance examination. Lu Ye fell ill, and the doctor's deadline was shorter than midsummer. In his last moments, the pale and thin boy lay on the hospital bed, holding Zhou Yuan's hand tightly in front of his parents: "I really hope to be with you forever..." The adults nodded with red eyes, but the tears came faster than the answer.
Lu Ye stopped at the age of eighteen forever. And Zhou Yuan walked alone into the university they agreed on, carrying two school badges, two admission notices, and the sound of cicadas rusting in his memories. Later, he visited every place they had planned to go, but he could never wait for the person who smiled and said "Let's go together."
"We made an appointment in midsummer... Why am I the only one left?"
