This book revolves around "Summer F4" composed of Shen Yan, Xia Zhi, Lu Xingmian, and Ruan Ruan. It uses high school as the background to lay out a youth story soaked in the chirping of cicadas, the fragrance of locust trees, and the smell of soda.
Four boys and girls with very different personalities first met and got together under the old locust tree. They used graffiti on scratch paper, sweat on the basketball court, back figures in drawing books, and secretly passed notes to weave their own summer: Shen Yan's The silent guardianship is hidden in the wrong question book for Xia Zhi, Lu Xingmian's reckless heartbeat is hidden in the cicada sloughs found for Ruan Ruan when he climbed the tree, Xia Zhi's bright smile is mixed with the light and shadow of the locust leaves, and Ruan Ruan's delicate thoughts fall in the corner of the sketchbook.
As graduation approaches, real forks quietly appear: acceptance notices, long-distance volunteers, unspoken confessions, like the autumn wind sweeping away, blowing away the promises made under the tree. They waved at the platform and hid their regrets in old things - a faded white shirt, a picture book with a group photo between them, and a few unsent messages.
In the end, this summer ended with a hasty goodbye, but the marks of each other were engraved into time. Years later, the old things are covered in dust, but the memories are still fresh. Those unspoken words and unfulfilled agreements have become the tenderest blank space in youth, confirming that "summer will end, but the bond between young people will always be hot."
