    The summer heat is steaming everywhere.

    After taking the last subject of the college entrance examination, Jiang Haoyue came out of the examination room.

    Lu Yongfei drove to pick him up and asked him how he was doing in the test. Jiang Haoyue said, "Play normally."

    So everyone was relieved.

    Then comes the arrival of summer...

    Jiang Haoyue works a summer job in a bookstore.

    This bookstore is next to Lu Miao's cram school, selling and borrowing books. The bookstore is a small one, mainly for students' business. When Lu Miao went to borrow books, she saw that her boss had posted a notice for a summer job, and she went home and notified Jiang Haoyue, who was looking for a job.

    The boss's son is also taking the college entrance examination this year, and the family plans to travel after the exam. The bookstore needs someone to watch. The boss interviewed several people who were not satisfied. Until Jiang Haoyue came to the door, he finally settled on a candidate.

    Before the trip, the boss took Jiang Haoyue to work for a week to familiarize him with the usual operation of the bookstore.

    He learns things very quickly, and he does things in an orderly manner.

    Speaking of which, Jiang Haoyue's job is not difficult. The main thing is to sit at the counter and be responsible for collecting money, keeping accounts, and registering the books that students need and the damaged books that need to be replaced. New books arrive every week, and after he has sorted them, he puts them on the shelf.

    The work of moving and placing books was basically contracted by Lu Miao, who often came to bookstores.

    Taking into account Jiang Haoyue's physical condition, climbing up and down, carrying heavy objects, etc. is not suitable for him. There were times when Jiang Haoyue was slowly arranging the books, and she arranged the books ahead of time. When Lu Miao came over to see her work done by him, she would be upset with him.

    This is about Jiang Haoyue's last summer vacation in their small town.

    Lu Miao had a strong premonition that Jiang Haoyue would get a good grade in the test. At the same time, she felt that in the limited time they had left, there was very little she could do for him.

    Every day when came to the bookstore, could see Jiang Haoyue. For Lu Miao, it was a very happy thing.

    Sometimes she left get out of class early and ran to the bookstore before her tutoring; sometimes, after finishing tutoring at night, she slipped out to find him... No matter when she came, he would be there.

    When the wind chime at the door of the bookstore rang, Lu Miao hurried in.

    The picturesque young man raised his eyes from the book and gave her a faint smile.

    Lu Miao asked Jiang Haoyue how he heard her all of a sudden.

    Jiang Haoyue smiled without saying a word.

    Growing up together, he was all too familiar with the sound of her footsteps.

    Moreover, only when she came, the sound of the wind chimes was unusual... loud.

    There is an indescribable tacit understanding between the two, like, he will always prepare some snacks for her.

    People carrying tofu flowers passed by in front of the bookstore, and Lu Miao had tofu flowers to eat today; there was someone selling maltose across the bookstore, Lu Miao missed the time when they set up the stall, but Jiang Haoyue had already bought the maltose...

    People who come to the bookstore to read books sometimes ask him if the food on the counter is for sale. More often, Jiang Haoyue would hide the food first, and then take it out to her when Lu Miao came.

    She watched him mysteriously take out her snack of the day from under the counter.

    Every time she wanted to restrain her expression, but every time, she couldn't help but be surprised.

    "How do you know that I want to eat barbecue!", "Oh my god, isn't this my favorite Liangpi?", "How can there be popcorn! It turned out to be that kind of traditional popcorn, I thought it was long gone! ", "I've only seen this marshmallow in TV dramas, it has a shape, I've been wanting to eat it for a long time!"

    The voice was so loud that Jiang Haoyue had to remind her: Keep quiet in the bookstore.

    Lu Miao squeezed her mouth and took the snacks obediently, silently sweet in her heart.

    Before the final exam, Lu Miao discussed with her mother: If she can pass the final exam this time, can she not go to tutoring this summer.

    Lin Wenfang rejected her outright. The original words were: "If you do well in the exam, it means that the tutoring is effective, and you will continue to make up during the summer vacation; if you do not pass the exam, it means that your tutoring is not enough, and you need to make up. The next year is the college entrance examination. I am slack at this juncture, and I have to tutor this summer."

    She told her that she had already paid for her summer training in advance.

    The closer the final exam is, the less Lu Miao's mind can focus on his studies.

    At the end of June, the results of the college entrance examination came out one after another.

    Lu Miao became very acquainted with the boys who sneaked to Internet cafes to surf the Internet, because she has been frequently going in and out of Internet cafes recently—checking Jiang Haoyue's grades.

    After refreshing the page a certain time, his results were finally displayed on the computer screen.

    Lu Miao rushed out of the Internet cafe.

    The cold air in the room left goose bumps on her skin. When the noon sun dipped, there seemed to be a double image in front of her eyes, causing a top-heavy dizziness.

    She called out his name, beckoned, and ran towards the bookstore.

    The wind chimes were shaken violently by the rude push on the door, and the sound of the shells knocking against each other was no longer as crisp as it used to be.

    The sound hit his ear, like a thunderbolt.

    Everyone in the bookstore was frightened by the sound, and subconsciously looked at the girl outside the door.

    "Jiang, Haoyue..."

    Out of breath, she swallowed a few times before finally smoothing her tongue.

    "Your score is out!"

    "How?" he asked.

    Lu Miao didn't know whether the expression on her face was crying or laughing.

    "It's terribly tall," she said.

    Then, Lu Miao took Jiang Haoyue's hand and led him towards the Internet cafe.

    She forgot that he couldn't run.

    And Jiang Haoyue himself forgot. He ran like that, holding Lu Miao's hand tightly, and went with Lu Miao.

    They ran fast as if he had never been handicapped.

    His body, like hers, was complete and free, and his heartbeat was pounding, like it was about to jump out of his chest.

    The warm wind swished past his ears, and the scorching sun shone on the young body. They were two birds flying high.
