About This Novel

On the day of the opening ceremony for the first year of high school, Lin Xiaoman huddled in a small group at the back of the auditorium, looking at the senior named Gu Mingyuan on the stage. The sunlight fell on the beads of sweat on the back of his neck, shining like stars. She began to secretly collect the blue water bottle caps he drank out, and accumulated 128 of them in three years. Each sunken arc hid an unspoken confession. She remembered the faded wristband on his wrist, the warmth when he helped her pick up the voice recorder, and the way he always looked for her in the stands after training. But whenever he got close, she ran away like a frightened rabbit - until the beginning of her senior year of high school, she saw transfer student Su Qing intertwined with Gu Mingyuan in the equipment room. "Because girls are brave enough to confess their love." When Gu Mingyuan said this to his friend, Lin Xiaoman was burying the 128th bottle cap under the ginkgo tree. The Polaroids she hid in the locker, the anonymous blessings she stuffed into his schoolbag, and the umbrella she secretly handed him on a rainy day all became the clumsiest codes in youth. On the day of the graduation ceremony, she found Gu Mingyuan's handwriting in Su Qing's exercise book: "Thank you for making me understand that love requires an active arrow." The wind passed by the silhouette of their embrace, and Lin Xiaoman finally understood that she was just the moon hiding behind the clouds, and those stars had fallen into other people's night sky when she didn't dare to look up.
