In summer like autumn

"3, 2, 1, Action!"

As expected of Xia Yuhui, he is so serious when shooting DV.

The door of the ward was pushed open, and Xia Yuhui continued to be the voice-over: "This is our protagonist today, classmate Wen Qiu."

Wen Qiu looked nervous: "What are you doing? Won't the nurse tell you?"

After so many years, I still get nervous when I see the camera.

Xia Yuhui said in a nonchalant voice outside the camera: "Don't worry, I've greeted them. My previous body camera is really not working well, so I just bought a new one, and the first one will shoot you—— My hero."

Wen Qiu blushed: "What are you doing?"

His blushing looks so pretty, I can't get enough of him.

Xia Yuhui cleared his throat: "Let's interview Wen Qiu now, what is your biggest hobby?"

"Look... read a book." Wen Qiu stammered and quickly blocked the camera with his hand, "Stop taking pictures!"

Don't block the camera, let me watch you for a while.

A hand stretched out from behind the camera, and that hand obviously belonged to Xia Yuhui.He held Wen Qiu's hand and put it down, then zoomed out a little further, and asked, "You like reading books the most, don't you?"

Wen Qiu nodded.

I'm almost jealous. It would be great if I was the one holding your hand.

Xia Yuhui asked: "Second question, which is your favorite book?"

Wen Qiu picked up a book from the bedside table: "This one."

It's a little difficult for you to even move sideways, and Xia Yuhui really is, even though he knows which book it is, he won't help you with it.

Xia Yuhui stretched out his hand from behind the camera again, and held the book towards the camera: "Let me take a look. Oh, Verne, "Around the World in Eighty Days". It seems that you want to travel around the world."

Wen Qiu smiled until his eyes rolled up: "Yes, this is my childhood dream."

You smile like that when you're with me.But, how long has it been since I saw you laugh like this?

"I hope you realize this dream as soon as possible." Xia Yuhui persevered, "As a future adventurer, do you have someone you like?"

Wen Qiu nodded without any hesitation.

Sitting in the darkness, Xia Yiqun watched Wen Qiuan nodding quietly on the screen, his whole heart arose.

He didn't know how many times he had played this video, every time he saw it, his heart was in suspense.

Xia Yuhui's voice came as expected: "Then what do you want to say to the person you like?"

Wen Qiu lowered his head, pondered for a while, then raised his head again, looked out the window, and opened his mouth slowly.

"I saw you for the first time in the summer when I was 15 years old. At that time, my hair was too long and my mother urged me to cut it. I was reluctant to go out because it was too hot. But I went out anyway, and I ran into you."

"You were standing by the side of the square at the time, and I saw you right away, and I thought, this guy is actually taller than me. When I got closer and saw your face clearly, I thought again, this kid not only Taller than me, and more handsome than me."

"Come closer, and I'll be happy. Wearing so many clothes on a hot day is so stupid.—As a result, you really suffered from heat stroke."

Wen Qiu recalled this, and couldn't help giggling.

Xia Yiqun stretched out his hand, he really wanted to touch Wen Qiu's face, but he could only touch the TV screen, and a slight tingling sensation came from his fingertips.

Wen Qiu continued.

"You were so helpless at the time. I haven't seen you like that until today. I think this person needs me now, and I can't leave him alone. So I will take care of you there, accompany you and wait for others Come."

"I didn't mean to take off your clothes. I was a good young man with a good mind at the time. In the end, you held my hand and refused to let me take off your clothes. I got angry. Lesson learned Say a few words, and you'll be obedient immediately. ——Speaking of which, I liked your fragile and obedient appearance at the beginning, but it turned out that it was all a lie! It really pissed me off!"

Having said that, Wen Qiu turned to the camera.

"Looking back now, it's great to like you. During the two years we were together, we did spend a lot of happy time. It doesn't matter who you think of me as. You made a mistake. But who hasn't made a mistake, and now the mistake has been corrected, and I forgive you. You don't like me, there's nothing you can do about it."

"One more thing, I think I have to say it. I lied at the time, but I don't regret meeting you at all. From the first time I met you, I liked you. Until now, I have never changed. Yiqun Brother, maybe you regret meeting me, but I don't regret meeting you at all."

"...By the way, actually, on the day you flew to the United States, I went to the airport secretly. But the airport in Shanghai is too big, much bigger than the one in Jiangbei. I searched there all day but couldn't find you. Ah , I have no other intention to go to the airport, I just want to say goodbye to you."

"When we broke up, I was so angry that I didn't say goodbye to you properly. Brother Yiqun, goodbye. You and Gu Zhihang, please be happy."

After Wen Qiu finished speaking, she looked at the camera and smiled.The video finally freezes on this smile, which is too gorgeous, even more dazzling than the early summer sunshine outside the window.

Xia Yiqun sat there like a sculpture.There are obviously so many memories between them, but what Xia Yiqun repeatedly thinks of is only Wen Qiu's words:

"You wait for me, when I am 22 years old, I will marry you."

The room was silent, only the display screen on the disc player was emitting a blue light, which was still counting down the seconds, telling the young people on the sofa that time had not stopped.

That's right, the long river of time has never stopped flowing, but Wen Qiu's life is always fixed at the age of 21, and he can no longer make half a step forward, which also makes it impossible for Xia Yiqun to fulfill his promise in this life.

Xia Yiqun stretched out his hand in a daze, groping in the darkness.He didn't know what he was holding, and he didn't even know the meaning of this action.

He knocked something off the coffee table and landed on the carpet with a muffled sound.

Xia Yiqun followed the voice and touched the things that fell on the ground.

It was the CD that Xia Yuhui gave him, the one he and Wen Qiu had watched together, it recorded their high school days.

Before leaving, Xia Yuhui said, you must not have finished reading it. If you had finished reading it, maybe you could see Wen Qiu's heart earlier, instead of abandoning him like a shoe.

It's true that he hasn't finished reading it, but why is Xia Yuhui's tone so firm?

What kind of secrets are hidden in the parts that have not been read?

Xia Yiqun put the disc into the machine.

He originally wanted to fast forward, but Xia Yiqun gave up the idea when the broadcast started.He knelt and sat very close to the screen without blinking his eyes, but it was not for the performance in the stands.He sat there waiting, knowing that every time the camera zoomed out to the far right, Wen Qiu's little head would appear on the edge of the camera.

Wen Qiu's side face was blurred, but Xia Yiqun understood that Wen Qiu's focused gaze was always chasing himself on the stage.

Xia Yiqun watched the whole drama patiently.

The screen went dark, then suddenly turned on again, with the words "Behind the Scenes" written on it.

That was Xia Yuhui's favorite font to use when making documentaries, but it was used to prompt the tidbits, with a sense of contradiction that is both serious and lively.

"Wen Qiu! Yiqun! Get closer, yes, yes! You two can just stand there!" Xia Yuhui's voice came.

It was a video Xia Yuhui recorded when he was debugging the machine before the performance, and he even kept it.

Xia Yiqun couldn't remember the situation at that time for a long time, he stared at the screen tightly, for fear of missing any small details.

Wen Qiu's embarrassed figure appeared in the camera, looking at the camera with some confusion.

Xia Yiqun was also in the camera, walking around in a small area very freely. Every time he took a step closer to Wen Qiu, Wen Qiu's expression became more nervous.

Wen Qiu turned to look at Xia Yiqun, the expression on his face must have something to say.But he didn't say anything after all, but his eyes were always firmly attached to Xia Yiqun, with the clarity and brightness unique to young people.

Those eyes were too intense, even if Wen Qiu didn't say a word, Xia Yiqun could still hear the most pure and touching words of love in those eyes:

I like you.

I like you.

I like you.

One sound after another, beating on Xia Yiqun's heart.

Since hearing the news of Wen Qiu's death, Xia Yiqun has not closed his eyes for a whole day and night.

The video has been played to the end.He sat on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling.

His mind was a little heavy, Xia Yiqun felt that he was about to fall asleep, but the strange thing was that this feeling didn't last long, and he began to become more and more awake.

Wait, why am I wearing the uniform of Qiushi Middle School?

Where did the pen in my hand come from?

Xia Yiqun shook his head, and realized that he was sitting in the examination room, and he had just answered half of the physics questions he wrote.

When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly picked up the test paper and went through all the questions over and over again.

Xia Yiqun was a little surprised: he was very familiar with these questions, and he had answered all of them.

He began to write vigorously, and even his hands began to tremble after writing, and he didn't care if the pen tip scratched the paper.

Answer it quickly.

Must be quick.

Faster.

faster.

After calculating the answer to the last question, Xia Yiqun grabbed everything on the table and stood up with a bang, almost knocking over the desk and making a loud noise.

The other candidates in the examination room frowned and looked at this side.

"Teacher, I want to hand in the papers."

Before the invigilator could react, Xia Yiqun had already grabbed his schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom.

Xia Yiqun arrived at the small square with what little memory he had left. He raised his hand to look at his watch. The time for handing in the paper this time should be earlier than then.

The person he was waiting for probably hadn't come yet.

The sun is still hot outside.This time Xia Yiqun had a good memory, he took off his school uniform jacket and his shirt, and it really wasn't that hot anymore.

Xia Yiqun stood there, looking left and right, he wasn't sure which direction that person would come from, and he didn't even remember what kind of clothes that person was wearing.

He wondered if he should put his school uniform back on.What if that person didn't see the school uniform and couldn't recognize himself?

Xia Yiqun hesitated, uneasy, took off his coat and put it on again.

His heart was beating violently, and when he saw that person walking slowly from a distance, he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

This time he finally saw clearly what the boy who walked towards him looked like——

His trousers were rolled up, revealing his delicate ankles and a small section of fair legs.

His left hand is leisurely in his trouser pocket, and his right hand is holding a bottle of iced Coke. The crushed ice in the Coke glows with colorful brilliance under the refraction of the sun.

He is taller than his peers, and his figure under the white shirt is still thin.

His face was slightly pale, and his lips were still pursed habitually, forming a slightly upward arc at the corner of his mouth.

His hairstyle is indeed different from that in high school, it is a bit too much.

He walked vigorously in the summer sun, with the tips of his hair flying up wantonly.

He approached Xia Yiqun as he did back then.

But he didn't stop as he did back then, and he didn't even linger on Xia Yiqun for a moment.

He was walking, humming an unknown song, and passed Xia Yiqun briskly like a happy bird.

The moment they passed each other lasted no more than a second, but Xia Yiqun clearly smelled the unique aura of that person, which was sweet and fragrant.

"Wen Qiu!" Xia Yiqun didn't wait for the man to go far away, rushed up, hugged him tightly, and refused to let go.

Just because you regret meeting me, so this time, you don't want to look at me anymore?

This time, are you unwilling to stop again?

It's okay, Wen Qiu.

This time, let me watch you.

This time, let me follow you.

You wait for me.

you are waiting for me.

This time, let me chase you.
