Introduction to "Heart to the Left, Stars to the Right"
"Some stars appear to be next to each other, but are actually hundreds of millions of light-years apart."
On his seventeenth birthday, Lin Pingwan accidentally pushed open the rusted iron door of the school observatory and met Chen Xingye who was adjusting the telescope. In his shirt pocket is a pocket watch made of meteorite slices, and his eyes behind the lenses are as distant as the stars on a winter night; while she wears a pansy brooch on her schoolbag, and her diary is filled with tender lines of poetry that no one knows.
Every intersection between the astronomy club and the literature club is like an accidental intersection of star trails in the universe - the shared flashlight beam during a power outage in the library, the hospital appointment slip found in the rainstorm, and the sentence "You are more eternal than all galaxies" on the undelivered ginkgo leaf bookmark. Pingwan gradually understood that the mole in the corner of Hoshino's eyes was the coordinate of loneliness, but she didn't know that there was a clock in his heart that could stop at any time.
When the observation record of "Ceres Opposing the Sun" turned into a countdown in the medical record, Pingwan realized that the next sentence of "Stars hanging down on the plains and vast fields" was destined to be the eternal words of "The moon surges and the river flows".
"Chen Xingye, does the star in your name... Hurt?"
"No, they are just too bright, so bright that they forget they will go out."
