No Cicadas Chirping After Summer

Under the locust tree in the primary school playground, when Xu Tingchan put a baseball into Lin Nianxia's hands for the first time, the cicada's chirping was carried over the wall by the hot wind. They didn't know at that time that nine years would be as short as the chirping of cicadas - Xu Tingchan chased away those who laughed at her, Lin Nianxia helped Xu Tingchan sort out the notes that her mother had thrown away, every pass on the baseball field, and "see you tomorrow" in the diary all made them think they could keep summer like this forever. Later, the chirping of cicadas still sounded on time every year, but Xu Tingchan's baseball jersey gradually became old, and the words in her diary changed from "I won again today" to "I can't seem to sleep." Lin Nianxia had a college admission notice in her schoolbag, but she could no longer find anyone with whom she could share popsicles. It wasn't until an afternoon when there was no cicada chirping that Lin Nianxia suddenly understood that some summers will never be repeated. After some people leave, the heat in the wind and the spots in the shadows of the trees become old times that can never be touched again.
