On, reunited with the midsummer night many years ago.

High tide in the middle of the month, river water, teenagers in hospital clothes, summer vacation, starless nights, bank cards, dry eyes, very cold fingers, countless broken but clear fragments flooded into my mind instantly——

That was the memory of the first time I met Jiang Zhetian.

Remembrance of a midsummer shower⑨

After waiting for a whole day and two nights at the agreed place, Xia Zhenyu couldn't wait for his favorite brother, and he couldn't wait for the sky to clear up. Xiao Yu, in despair, didn't know which direction to leave.

Now, where else could he go?

His body was covered with open wounds from the beatings. Uncle's drug addicts were more severe than usual a few days ago, and he and his aunt were hit harder than usual.

What hurt more than the wound was his brother's failure to make appointments and his uncle's decision to send him to his new adoptive mother. He didn't want to be sent away as a trouble again, even though he didn't have a happy day after leaving his brother.

My uncle is my father's younger brother, who inherited all of my grandfather's property after my father died, and my aunt married my uncle at that time.The good times didn’t last long. Uncle was idle all day long. He lost all his family property in just five years and was introduced to drugs by his friends. When he came to his uncle’s house, his uncle had been detoxified three times but failed, and his aunt was beaten to the knees every day. .

At first, it was useful for him to stop his uncle from doing anything to his aunt, but later his uncle beat him together, just to ask his aunt for money to use drugs.

Uncle needs a lot of money to take drugs, and the source of income for their family is only his aunt working as a cashier in a supermarket and him working part-time. It is impossible to support the expenses of the family of five while allowing uncle to buy drugs. The two cousins ​​even pay tuition and miscellaneous fees. Sorry, he has been out of school for a long time.

A few days ago, my uncle proposed to send him away so that a female entrepreneur he knew would adopt him as a godson. The other party started to touch him when he saw him. He was not a three-year-old child, and he vaguely understood that the female entrepreneur was interested in pedophilia.

Although it was hard work at his uncle's house, it could at least give him some family warmth. If he was sent away, he didn't know what kind of future he would face.

So he called his brother and begged him to take him away. His brother promised him that he would take him to a place where no one could hurt him again. They made an appointment to meet the day before his birthday, but his brother didn't show up for a long time. It was agreed...but it never showed up.

Thinking of his brother not showing up, Xia Zhenyu's nose became sore, he knew that crying can't make a man, he is cowardly, and will always be bullied by others, he knows, he knows this better than anyone else, and he just couldn't help crying.

Climbing up the stairs while sobbing like a coward, Xia Zhenyu walked aimlessly on the bridge connecting the two ends of the Yangtze River. Not going any further, he silently apologized in his heart.

sorry Sorry.

He was always weak and had a low fever, he always cowered and hid behind the crowd, he always relied on his brother's protection, he always shed meaningless tears and gasped slightly, it was always difficult to live.

To be able to persevere until today, he really worked hard, sorry.

sorry Sorry.

Xia Zhenyu wanted to slowly climb over the guardrail. The distance between the bridge and the river was frightening. He had no choice but to look ahead. Not far ahead, he saw a young man wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, pale and weak. The shadow swayed in the wind, as if it would fall at any moment.

Noticing the looking gaze from him, the boy suddenly turned his head and smiled at him softly, with an expression about to break.

The starless night is so dark, the rain is still falling non-stop, half of the moon is exposed, and the other half is reflected in the water, Xia Zhenyu's heart seems to be pierced lightly by a fine needle, he trots forward without thinking.

"You, what are you doing?"

The boy didn't answer, but just looked at Xia Zhenyu quietly, and the two looked at each other for a long time, Xia Zhenyu was afraid that the boy would suddenly jump off the bridge, so he grabbed the boy's wrist without hesitation, "No, don't jump off."

"I was seriously ill, it was very painful, it was more painful than death."

"Pain is not a reason for you to commit suicide!"

Seeing the haggard look of the young man, Xia Zhenyu knew how painful the young man was tormented by the illness, but he couldn't helplessly watch such a fresh life die before his eyes.Xia Zhenyu's righteous attitude made the young man feel funny, "Haha, but didn't you also want to commit suicide just now?"

"I……"

He wanted to commit suicide at first, and he really wanted to, but seeing patients who suffered more than himself were still struggling in the world, Xia Zhenyu no longer wanted to commit suicide, he felt that he should be strong, because living is harder than dying.

"Just now! I don't want to think about it now. I think living is more difficult than dying, so I have to work hard to live and overcome difficulties. Together with the dead parents, I will not shed tears in the future."

"Yeah, I'll be in heaven rooting for your efforts."

The young man made a gesture to jump down, Xia Zhenyu immediately hugged him from behind, if he was not careful, he would be taken into the water together, but fortunately the young man was weak and did not have much strength, he could not move if he hugged him a little tighter.

"We've never met each other before. What good will it do you to prevent me from committing suicide?"

"Yes!" Xia Zhenyu panted, "If you survive, your parents will not be sad, and you will be able to see the sun tomorrow morning, how wonderful."

"Where is it good? Living is full of bad things!"

"It's not like this. There must be good things. Although living is more difficult than dying, but when you die, there is nothing left. Only when you live can you meet hope. For example, birds meet the sea, dandelions meet wind, rainy days meet summer," Xia Zhenyu He raised his head and looked directly at the boy, "For example, I met you."

The boy's pupils shrank suddenly, and he froze for a moment. He pursed his lips lightly, and his attitude became much softer. "I'm always going to die. It's better to die sooner than later."

"What disease are you suffering from?" Xia Zhenyu was puzzled.

"leukemia."

"Well, leukemia is not a terminal illness..."

"I can't wait for a match."

"It's just that we can't wait for the time being. If you hold on for two more days, maybe it will be over?" Xia Zhenyu said as he dragged the boy behind the railing forcefully, and the boy who was half a head taller struggled to push him away, "It's impossible to wait." .”

"Maybe." Pulling the boy back to the road line with all his strength, Xia Zhenyu looked at the boy firmly, "I say it's possible, trust me."

"I do not believe."

"Let's make a bet, you will wait for the matching within the year."

"If you don't fight, it's too long in the year, and I'll have chemotherapy until I die."

"Then, those three months!"

"What if you lose?"

"If I lose... what do you want?"

"If you lose, give me the most important thing."

"I don't have the most important thing, I have nothing."

"Then give me yourself."

"What...why do you want me to..."

"Do you agree or not?"

"As long as you are willing to live, I promise, anything."

Xia Zhenyu hopes that this young man who wanted to commit suicide on the same day as him can live a good life. They both lived in pain, but they met each other because of pain. He believes that everything is guided by fate, and they will become very happy in the future. That's why at this moment it became the reason to prevent the other party from committing suicide.

The boy stared deeply at Xia Zhenyu, and then stretched out his hand towards Xia Zhenyu.

"My name is Jiang Zhetian, what about you?"

"Ask my name? Ah Xia...Xia Shower."

Jiang Zhetian laughed out loud, and he patted Xia Zhenyu who was brave enough to stop him from committing suicide just now, but now bowed his head and shrunk, "Even if it's a fake name, can you make it look like the real one? Summer Rainstorm is better than Xia Zhenyu. "

Xia Zhenyu's name has been misunderstood since he was a child, and he is also used to being teased. He smiled bitterly, "It's my real name. If you think my name is fake or doesn't sound good, you can call me Xiao Yu."

"Light rain?"

"Uh-huh."

"Light rain."

"Yes."

"Little Yuyu."

"It's light rain."

"Little rain, light rain."

"Why are you called so many times..."

The nickname made people feel embarrassed repeatedly, Xia Zhenyu looked at Jiang Zhetian suspiciously, Jiang Zhetian looked at Xia Zhenyu carefully, engraved his shy look in his heart, and then took out his mobile phone, "What is your number?"

"Sorry, I don't have a mobile phone..." I had it when I came to my uncle's house, but it was later sold for money. Xia Zhenyu couldn't help but sigh aggrievedly. If he had a mobile phone, he wouldn't have been unable to contact his brother for so long. He missed the appointment and waited. Almost two days, like a fool.

"There's nothing to apologize for. If you don't have it, you don't have it. It's normal."

"Feel sorry."

"Apologize again, I accept, how old are you this year?"

"I'm a sophomore."

"14 years old? So young."

"how old are you?"

"Around seventeen?"

"...You are not very old."

"I'm still an adult, Ben Er's old man."

"Pfft, Ben Er is an old man."

"What happened to you, who hit you, or did you fight with your classmates?"

"I fight with my family..."

"Oh, where do you go to school?"

"I didn't go to school, my family didn't have money for me to go to school, um."

The two people who had never met before just walked and chatted like this. When they chatted until they could see the end of the bridge, Jiang Zhetian suddenly asked.

"Xia Zhenyu, why did you want to commit suicide just now?"

"Uh, this..." Xia Zhenyu couldn't explain that the biggest reason for wanting to commit suicide was because of his brother's missed appointment, "I'll tell you next time!"

"Next time, okay." Jiang Zhetian also
