When He Enters the Other Shore, I Chase the Light

——I have folded 1314 stars, but none of them can light up your way. In high school, Mingnan was a mimosa hiding in the shadows, but He Xia was a poplar tree living in the spotlight. Her happiest moment was huddled in the gap where her parents were laughing and joking while fighting for the sofa, with the lights burning all night long on New Year's Eve; but he didn't know that the girl who was always folding stars in the corner had her sketchbook filled with the dancing corners of his clothes when playing basketball. A fishing accident in a heavy rain caused Mingnan to lose her father forever who would grab the seat next to her mother. The last message she sent to He Xia was "ask for leave for me", but when she was clearing the desks, she found the electrician's manual he gave - "Danger of fishing under high-voltage lines" circled in red pen on page 28. Ten years later, I discovered that the cover of He Xia's Moments still had the same bloody flower from the other side. She touched the wooden Allegro that had been discontinued long ago, and thought of the doll with eyes sewn crookedly that had never been given away. ——Those unspoken likes, are they due to youth and timidity, or are fate already written separate scripts?
