The Stars Don't Blink

The stars don't blink Introduction to the work Lin Xiaoxing didn't believe that stars could blink. It's like she doesn't believe that she will be moved by a "stent". When she was twenty, she met Shen Yu, a boy who could talk about love in details. He remembered her menstrual period, the seat where she usually sat, and all the words she casually said. His love was dense, delicate, and meticulous, like a net, firmly catching her, who was used to shining alone. She thought this was the best form of love. Until he took out the account book - how much he paid, and how much she paid back. Until he said "you don't love me" - because she forgot his birthday, because she didn't come to him immediately during team building, and because of a misunderstood act of coquettishness. Until he cleared up everything in his breakup letter, passed the blame completely, and then said "I am relieved." It took Lin Xiaoxing a long time to understand: It's not that he doesn't know how to love, he just doesn't have the ability to love like that. His way of love is to pick off the stars and use them as lamps; when the lamps go out, he says, "You are not the sun." This is a story about an ordinary girl struggling in the mire of twenty. About self-doubt, late-night infighting, looking back over and over again, and finally - learning to redeem the stars from the pawn shop. The star does not blink, not because it is indifferent. It is because it is afraid that once it closes its eyes, it will never light up again.
