He already left.

He was in a very jovial mood, and he leapt down the stairs. He waved down a taxi and headed to the small park near First High. It was the start of summer, and not yet 8 o’clock, so there were quite a few people at the park. Elderly folks exercising, kids playing around, couples out for a walk… Gu Mingxi walked over to the long bench that he and Pang Qian always sat at, and he sat down. He felt a bit nervous, and then he he stood up again.

He thought, Pang Qian would need some more time since she was biking over. Maybe she’d be there in ten minutes.

But after ten minutes, she still hadn’t shown up.

Twenty minutes later, thirty minutes later, and she still hadn’t come.

As the people in the park dispersed, Gu Mingxi started to worry. He walked out of the park and found a convenient store with a phone and called Pang Qian’s house. When the shopkeeper saw his empty, swaying sleeves, he offered to help dial the number. Then he put the receiver between Gu Mingxi’s face and shoulder.

Jin Ai’hua picked up the phone. She said that Pang Qian had gone out, to play with some classmates.

Gu Mingxi was stunned and then asked, “Auntie, did she open the picture frame?”

“Yeah. When you called her, she went to open it.”

Gu Mingxi, “…”

He returned to the small park, and continued waiting on the park bench.

The minutes ticked by, and the sky grew darker. There were no other people in the park. Gu Mingxi realized that no one would show up that night. But he wasn’t willing to let go. So he just stubbornly sat there.

That small park held a lot of memories for him and Pang Qian. Countless sunsets, sitting side by side on that bench. Licking the fingers on her left hand as she lifted the cone in her right hand up to his mouth.

He’d even tutored her there before. At the time, they weren’t in the same class, and they weren’t neighbors. Gu Mingxi could only spend some time after school, in this park, to explain things to her.

He waited for a long time, and his legs had been bitten by mosquitoes several times. But he didn’t care. He sat there like a statue, looking up at the night sky.

The sky was covered with clouds, and not a single star nor the moon could be seen. It was really hot that night, without even the slightest breeze. The air was thick and damp. Sometime past 10 o’clock, the clouds couldn’t hold the water vapor any longer, and beads of water started to fall from the sky. They dropped onto the trees and also onto Gu Mingxi’s head, soaking through his clothes.

Suddenly, rain started pouring across the entire city.

All the cars on the street turned on their lights. Bike riders and pedestrians all straddled their heads with their hands to block the rain. The long awaited rain dissipated the heat of the summer, and the temperature dropped. The sound of the falling rain blocked out many other sounds.

No one knew that in a small park inside this city, there was a 19 year old boy standing alone under the heavy rain. He was soaked to the skin and shivering. The rain blurred his vision and streamed down his face, mixing with another clear liquid.

For the first time in his life, Gu Mingxi didn’t hold back his emotions. On this empty night, he stood under the falling rain and let himself cry until he was content.
