A Chinese prodigy and an English ace
Setting: A modern school story, from freshman to senior year
Just as Earth's gravity permanently fixes one side of the Moon toward it, Yu Nianyan ultimately chooses to remain forever in the same time and place as Jiang Xi.
In the end, we became binary stars locked by the tides of fate. You stayed forever on the side touched by the light, while I spent the rest of my life walking toward eternal darkness.
Tidal locking isn't a choice; it's gravity. Just as loving you isn't a decision; it's breathing.
The Moon struggled for billions of years to achieve an eternal gaze, while I needed only three years to learn to tune my heartbeat to your frequency.
When tidal forces exceed a celestial body's rotational speed, it becomes locked. Just like that day, when you coughed up blood faster than I could say, "Goodbye."
They say a locked moon is pitiful, forever unable to see its far side. But they don't know that the Moon's constant gaze upon the Earth is a romance on a cosmic scale.
Death cannot break tidal locking. Through gravity, you still make every beat of my heart send a wave surging toward you.
