Midsummer of the Seventh Year

Seventeen-year-old Shen Juan is a trapped beast curled up in the shadow of the world. Poverty, debt and indifference kept him silent until the girl named Lin Zhi broke into his gray life with the heat of the whole summer.

He struggled up from the dust, and all his efforts were just to stand upright beside her. In the midsummer of the seventh year, the cicadas chirped as before. Shen Juan finally had the qualifications to offer a plain ring and a hot heart. His eyes were red and he asked cautiously: "Am I qualified now... To be your sun instead?"
