During the summer vacation, Lu Heng had to attend a long term training at the sports school, but he had two weeks off before that. He made plans with Xiang Yu to visit the new theme park at the west part of the city. They rode those bicycles on the cycle track and played wildwater in the park. When they got off the boat, their hair was all wet, but they looked at each other and laughed happily. They also went into the haunted house. Xiang Yu had seen "Strange Stories from Liao Zhai Zhi Yi Chinese" when she was young, so she tried to scare Lu Heng with a creepy voice, but she was startled by Luheng's ghostly face when he turned around. At dusk, they took the Ferris wheel. As the sunlight faded away and the night fell, with countless lights in the city and countless people of all kinds, Xiang Yu looked at the boy sitting opposite her. His lively smile infected her, making her lips curl up. Xiang Yu felt that Lu Heng could now be considered a good friend of her.
Xiang Yu had been to Luheng's home to send him his homework which need to finish during summer holiday. Lu Heng showed her the row of cricket jars hidden under his bed by his dad. The two of them lay under the bed and looked at them for a long time. Xiang Yu mentioned that when she lived in the central of the city when she was young, children would raise crickets in the summer, but they couldn't survive in the autumn. However, some people were especially good at raising them and could keep them inside their clothes. They could even hear the chirping in winter. That day, Lu Heng treated Xiangyu a bottle of Coke. The refreshing bubbles were so sour that Xiang Yu remembered the sensation for a long time.
When did those girls in the class began to show hostility towards Xiang Yu, she can not remember. It seemed like they had conspired and started targeting her, intentionally not collecting her homework and even deliberately omitting her during milk breaks. Xiang Yu found it inexplicable. While she couldn't be considered friends with everyone, there was no conflict either, so she didn't understand why it turned out this way. Xiang Yu was not proactive, and she didn't know how to resolve the situation, so she silently endured it for over a week. In the end, it was those girls who couldn't hold back anymore. One girl, Ji Ying, came to ask her to meet at the wisteria arbor after school. Xiang Yu agreed without much thought.
When Xiang Yu went there, three girls were waiting. "What's the matter?" Xiang Yu asked. "What shameless thing did you do that you still dare to ask?" Fang Meigui retorted angrily. "What did I do?" Xiangyu's tone was icy. "You, you, you've been tempting to Lu Heng." Before Xiang Yu could refute, Luheng's voice came from her back, "She never paid attention on me. I liked her, so I kept bothering her." Lu Heng approached and stood beside Xiang Yu. "If you have any grievances, you can tell me directly. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. Don't make things difficult for her." Xiang Yu turned her head to look at Lu Heng. His face was flushed, whether from anger or embarrassment, but he was sincere and serious. Xiang Yu thought to herself, Lu Heng was really a good friend. He tried all his best to help her, his desk mate. The three girls didn't say anything more and left in a huff. Xiang Yu patted Lu Heng and gave him a thumbs up. On the way home, Lu Heng was unusually silent, while Xiang Yu, imitating Fang Meigui's sulky look, couldn't help but laugh.
Days passed by slowly. Xiang Yu graduated and got into high school, while Lu Heng went to the sports school. When they took their graduation photos, Lu Heng stood behind Xiang Yu. When it was time to say goodbye, Lu Heng hugged Xiang Yu. He said he would visit Xiang Yu if he didn't have training, and they would always be good friends.
