my summer

Xia Zhi and I finally stood under the sun. This summer's sun is particularly bright.

We went back to the cement factory in search of space, and dug out a broken slingshot under the big banyan tree in front of the dormitory building.With the reappearance of the slingshot, the stories that Xia Zhi and I have experienced together in these years are rushing in, so I am eager to record them one by one.

Some memories may have been blurred, while others are like yesterday.

Between me and the summer solstice, there is no vigorous love-hate entanglement, only ordinary daily trivialities.

Our feelings are a trickle, slowly flowing forward along the regular river bank.Occasionally, there would be a few clusters of water splashes due to some abrupt stones, but they soon returned to calm.

Calm has its own good.

The years are quiet and good, which is the dream of many people.

Time passed unknowingly in the long stream of water.

Summer goes and autumn comes, winter goes and spring returns, my birthday is coming.

In fact, we don't care about how we spend our birthdays, gifts are not given every year, and sometimes we don't even have time to have a meal together when we are so busy.

I just got home from get off work today, and Xia Zhi has already made dinner.

His cooking skills belong to the late-stage assault type, and he occasionally cooks and cooks by himself when he rests at home, and the taste is not bad.

"Mm, delicious!" I pinched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with my hands and put them in my mouth, chewing and giving out sincere praise.

Xia Zhi put the rice on the table and glared at me, "Wash your hands! Do you know how many bacteria are on your hands? The first important thing to do when you get home is to wash your hands. How many times have I told you, why can't I remember?"

"Wash, wash..." I honestly ran to the bathroom, carefully washed with hand sanitizer for 3 minutes before I came out.With a boyfriend who is a doctor, certain hygiene habits still have to be developed.

After eating, I took the initiative to undertake the important task of washing dishes.By the time I finished washing the dishes slowly, it was almost eight o'clock.

The living room was empty, only the commentary of the game on the TV.I looked around and it was still empty.

Where did the summer solstice go?Back to the opposite room?

Tsk, they didn't even say hello.

I sat down on the sofa sullenly, and suddenly saw a note under the fruit plate on the coffee table.

Find me by the lake in the small park, right now, right now.

It is the handwriting of the summer solstice, which I am all too familiar with.

Which game is this from?

The small park is just across from our community. Sometimes when we are off on weekends, we will accompany Aunt Sun for a walk.Except for a small wild pond, the park is full of tall and lush trees, which are gloomy. People mostly go for a walk during the day to inhale oxygen. Few people go at night, because there are no street lights, and the whole garden looks dark. It looks scary.

I turned on the flashlight of my mobile phone and walked on the path to the lake from memory.In late spring, night dew falls, and there is a distinct chill in the air.

I wrapped my coat around me and continued walking forward.

The edge of the lake, to be exact, was dark around Xiaoye Pond. I controlled my pace and moved carefully, lest I accidentally fall into the water.I don't want to swim in this weather.

"Summer solstice." I called out.

There was no response, and the surroundings were so quiet that not even the sound of bugs could be heard.

"Xia Zhi!" I couldn't help raising my voice and shouted again, paused, and continued to shout, "Get out!"

As soon as I finished speaking, something hit my back suddenly. It didn't hurt much, but it really shocked me.

What kind of tricks is this guy Xia Zhi playing?

"If you don't come out again, I'll leave!" I knew Xia Zhi was nearby, so I deliberately turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, another thing flew over.But this time it didn't come at me, but passed me high and flew in front of me.Out of curiosity, I hurried over and found a slingshot in a bag.

This is...my birthday present?

I took out the slingshot and took a photo with my mobile phone. The workmanship is a bit rough, and the belt is not completely symmetrical. I guess the aim will not be very good.

Just as he was about to yell again, light suddenly flashed around him.

If you read it correctly, the fireworks in the shape of the sun were ignited at the same time.

Clusters of orange flames rushed up, like a group of lively children.

Then, the summer solstice came along.

Tall and thin, with a guitar on his back, he plays and sings, "if", which I am most familiar with and like.

The light from the fireworks was soaked in the darkness, making it look a bit hazy.The summer solstice is in this haze, facing me, playing and singing affectionately.

My tears began to roll in my eyes again.

Hold on, Zhang Zhuyang, don't cry, he's almost on his last legs, and he's so moved by this little girl's naive romance that he's crying, don't be ashamed.

"Yangyang, happy birthday, happy forever." After singing the song, Xia Zhi put down the guitar and said with a smile, "Do you still like the gift?"

I suppressed the soreness in my nose, and said in a hoarse voice: "Compared to Dad's craftsmanship, you can't even pass the grade."

"Ah?" He stopped laughing, "Impossible! I went to ask him for advice, and I finally made this after several rounds of practice."

"Tsk," I held up the slingshot in my hand and played with it, "Your hand is probably as flexible as holding a scalpel."

"Nonsense," he said with a serious face, "it's obvious that he is flexible when he does a lot of exercise."

"...You old driver." I smiled helplessly, and then sighed softly after laughing, "We are old men and old men, why are you still messing around with this? Do you want to have sex with me?"

He touched my face, continued to smile and said: "Who is with you? We have just started, and the days to come will be long."

"But," I looked at him, "I always feel that we have been together for a long, long time, so long that it seems like a century."

He hugged me gently, and said softly, "20 years is a long time, but we will continue to spend the next 20 years together, the next 20 years, the next 20 years..."

"Since when did you like me?" I asked in a low voice.

"Secret," he whispered.

The fireworks had been extinguished, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness again, with a faint smell of gunpowder smoke floating in the air.In the pond not far away, there are insects or crickets singing aimlessly.It suddenly sounds like the ups and downs of cicadas.

Oh, the summer solstice is here, summer is coming soon.

This is the end of my story with Xia Zhi.

There are four seasons in a year, but in my world, there is always only summer.

I spent less than half of my life chasing the sun. Fortunately, I finally caught up with it and hugged it.Fortunately, the sun also took the initiative to embrace me, making my life as bright and happy as summer forever.
