The year I married Gu Chengyun, I received three wedding gifts:
A box of broken glass that could cut your fingers, which he said were the bones of the moon;
A series of bronze safes that require passwords, and the sound of the alarm is very much like his breath when he is in love;
And the medical file with the name "Ah Huai" on it glowed coldly in the number column of the morgue.
Everyone said we were made for each other -
He danced to vinyl records late at night, and I could draw the arc of the back of his neck with my eyes closed;
He always has asthma medicine in his suit pocket, and I always carry lemon drops on rainy days.
Until I discovered the secret in his mechanical watch shop:
All gears stopped at 23:17 three years ago, the time when his twin brother's heartbeat stopped.
Lying in the glass showcase is a wedding ring the same size as my ring finger, with the steel seal engraved with S. Q. H eating up the moonlight.
"You must abide by the rules when playing the stand-in game." He grabbed my waist in the auction house, and when the hammer came down, it shattered the audience:
"Only the person who buys the thousandth fake moon is qualified to destroy the original moon."
But when the safe was finally opened, the medical certificate and the diamond ring fell at the same time——
Crossed chromosomes are drawn on the yellowed paper, and our curse is engraved on the inside of the ring:
"Whoever stops lying first will lose the moon forever."
