On an autumn night when they were seventeen, Zhou Sili said he would take her to see the roundest moon in Jiacheng. The crowd was packed, and they got separated. When they returned home, Zhou Sili was punished by being made to kneel in the courtyard, his back covered in bloody welts from a bamboo cane.
Inside, Grandpa Zhou was apologizing to the Shen family.
Shen Jiayue tried to help Zhou Sili up, but he clenched his fists and knelt with his back straight, without saying a word.
After a long while, the moon tilted westward.
His knees went numb and stiff from kneeling. Looking at Shen Jiayue beside him, her eyes red from crying, his heart softened completely, and he swore he would never lose her again.
Years passed.
In the eighth autumn after they broke up, an album titled "Moon-Seeking Notice" became a sensation across the country. In the album notes, popular singer-songwriter Zhou Sili wrote just one sentence:
"There is only one moon in my universe."
