"Saying it out loud makes it lose its magic," Shirao said. "I heard you have to tie a knot when you see a meteor, only then can you make a wish."
"With surgical knots so beautifully tied, how come you get flustered when you see a meteor?" Nanjue said.
"Because meteors pass by so quickly," she said. "It's so fast that it makes people feel nervous. When you're nervous, you forget everything, even the things you're best at become things you're not good at."
Just like when she met him.
She knew he always flashed by like a meteor, so brief in her life, that every time she saw him, she would panic, afraid he would soon disappear, thus abandoning her usual dignity and composure, and even making mistakes in everything she did.
Isn't it so...?
Whenever Shirao encountered Nanjue, she would become clumsy, unable to do anything right. Even when she gave it her all, she couldn't make him stay.
