One evening six years ago, Xu Mian's body was bound to a boy he had never met.
From that day on, she accepted all his pain, his coldness, his tiredness, and his tears. It took her three years to find the answer in an old journal in the library—mirror syndrome, an extremely rare neural coupling that is one-way and irreversible. She didn't tell anyone. It took another three years for her to follow the path spelled out in the fragments and go to his city and his university.
She was eighteen years old that year. She has known him for six years. And he knew nothing about her.
She had seen the sky in his eyes, the blackboard, and the street signs outside the car window. She touched the outline of the scar on his left arm—seven centimeters upward from the elbow bend. The scar proliferated and itched during the rainy season. There was only one thing missing: she didn't know what he looked like.
There are people coming and going on campus. She didn't know which one was him. All she knew was that if he were in a crowd, her body would recognize him first.
Six years earlier than the eyes.
