When the Cicadas Chirp, Listen to the Rain

Throughout July, they carried on with their lives as usual. Boil Wuye water in the afternoon when the cicadas chirp loudest, and dry the white sheets in the shadow of the trees. Only when it rains, the loud sound of rain hitting the sycamore leaves will temporarily drown out the regret in the house. They would sit side by side by the window like before, listening to the sound of rain mixed with the remnant of the chirping of cicadas, pretending that they never knew the destined ending. Then the rain stopped and God arrived.
