The moment the glass door opened and closed, Chen Geng heard the gears of fate turning upside down.
Twenty-one-year-old Xu Youze cast a thin silhouette among the shelves, and the incandescent lamp melted the frost and snow on his eyelashes into the moonlight she missed when she was twenty-six years old. Five years later, a woman who was wasted in her career taught him to write with her left hand, but when the boy tremblingly kissed the back of her hand, he caught a glimpse of himself in school uniform outside the glass, clutching the strap of his schoolbag.
When the frail young man fell from the attic, she finally understood that the hour hand in Xu Youze's pocket watch, which he always wiped late at night, always stopped at 23:17. The blurred back of the time traveler on the lock screen of her phone overlapped with the candid photos taken five years ago to form a Möbius strip. She ran wildly and pushed open the door of the convenience store, only to hear that her twenty-one-year-old self, in the heavy rain five years later, caught the heart of Xu Youze who had not survived until spring.
It turns out that they are destined to be separated repeatedly in the rift of time. The year when she taught him to love was the beginning of how he taught her to say goodbye.
