Unattended Summer Date

Twenty-five years have smoothed the edges, and Xia Yuhang, a middle-aged man in the city, has long been wrapped up in the daily life of fireworks. Only the stability of late night can soothe the fatigue of running around. While sorting out old things, a yellowed high school graduation photo suddenly opened the dusty memory gate, dragging him back to that hot summer with the noisy cicadas. That year, he was a young man with low self-esteem who came out of a mountain village. He was as small as dust in the crowd of key high schools. Xu Nian's gentleness was the glimmer of light in his lonely time, but Chen Yue's brightness was like a beam of blazing sun, crashing into the most secret corner of his heart. He kept his unspoken love for Chen Yue, but kept shrinking due to his inferiority complex; he was used to Xu Nian's silent company, but he never understood the tenderness and joy in her eyes. A camping trip in the countryside and an unexpected tragedy brought all emotions to an abrupt end. The beauty and excitement of youth eventually turned into unspeakable regrets in my heart. The half-sheet of wax-stained paper in the interlayer of old photos, the lotus pen on the chest of criminal investigation team leader Lu Zhou on TV, and the cliff fall case that was deemed an accident twenty-five years ago suddenly revealed strange clues. Those details buried by time, those silences with their own thoughts, those unspoken truths, quietly emerged twenty-five years later. When youthful regrets intertwined with dusty secrets, Xia Yuhang's peaceful life was completely shattered. He will eventually look back, face the youth that was betrayed by his inferiority complex, uncover the tragedy hidden in time, and repay the guilt and obsession of twenty-five years.
