#CryptoLovePoems ### (2021, encounter with BNX)
——Our story begins with a resonance of code and heartbeat
#### First Encounter: Romantic Foreshadowing in Code
In the summer of 2021, the wind in Tsinghua University was filled with the sound of cicadas and the fragrance of lotus, but my life trajectory was quietly changed because of a club recruitment. At that time, I had just joined the Student Science Fiction Association and tried to find solace in the starry sea of (The Three-Body Problem). One afternoon, a message popped up in the association group: "BinaryX blockchain game (Cyber Dragon) internal beta recruitment, BNX token airdrop, is anyone joining a team?" I replied casually: "Take me with you." - I never thought that this response would become the prelude to meeting her.
Her name is Jiang Feng, a graduate student at the Academy of Fine Arts and former president of the Next Generation Animation Club. We first met at the association's "Fantasy Exchange". She stood in front of the projection screen and explained the integration of blockchain and metaverse games. Her ponytail fluttered with her movements, and her fingertips ran across the code and design drawings on the screen, as if she was conducting a symphony. I stared at her hand-drawn sketch of the Cybertron character and my heart skipped a beat. She said, "BNX is not only a token, but also a ticket for players to create a world together." At that moment, I couldn't tell whether I was convinced by her logic or attracted by her shining eyes.

#### Knowing each other: a two-player copy in the blockchain game
We teamed up to challenge Cyber Dragon's "dungeon exploration". She was responsible for the allocation of character attributes, and I studied combat strategies. In the game, she used the swordsman "Red Flame" minted by BNX tokens to fight side by side with the mage "Frost Whisper" summoned by me. Every time we divided the spoils after defeating the Boss, she always smiled and said: "Look, this is our 'love fund'." In reality, we stayed up late to debug smart contracts, argued endlessly about the game's economic model, and shared the same cup of coffee when we were sleepy. She once joked: "Others go to Disney for a date, and we go to the dungeon for a date - cyber enough, isn't it?"
In November 2021, the price of BNX soared to an all-time high. Late that night, we huddled in front of the computer in the laboratory, watching the candlestick chart rise and fall like a heartbeat. She suddenly turned to me and asked, "If the price of the currency goes to zero tomorrow, will you regret it?" I shook my head: "The code will become invalid, but the data will not. Just like every copy we have swiped, it is an eternal record on the chain." She smiled, and the blue light of the screen reflected in her eyes, like a galaxy pouring down.

#### Crisis: A test of trust amid volatility
However, the blockchain game world is not a fairy tale. In December, the project was exposed to "forced zeroing of old users' assets", and the price of BNX plummeted. There were scoldings on the forum, and some people in the community advised us to sell to stop losses. In the cafe at three o'clock in the morning, she clutched the cold latte and whispered: "I don't want to give up... This is our 'Cyberron'." I opened my notebook and wrote a line of code comments: "// True decentralization means that even if the world collapses, there are still people who will rebuild with you." She was stunned, then grabbed a pen and added: "// For example, now."
We jointly launched a proposal with the community, asking the project to open the ledger and restart the fair mechanism. She designed the protest poster, and I wrote the governance voting code. When the proposal was passed, she improvised a stand-up comedy at the anniversary party, turning the project's loopholes into jokes. Amid the laughter of the audience, she winked at me - that was a highlight moment more moving than any K-line.

#### Epilogue: The intersection of the metaverse and reality
Today, BNX is still a niche token, and its price fluctuates like the tides. But for us, it has long surpassed the meaning of a financial symbol. Whenever I log into the game, the characters "Red Flame" and "Frost Whisper" are still galloping in the dungeon, but in reality, we have gone from code partners to life partners. Last year, she used her BNX dividends to buy two rings, with our wallet address engraved on the inside: "0xLove2021".
She said: "The most romantic thing about blockchain is not that it can never be tampered with, but that all nodes bear witness to it together." I replied: "Just like us in 2021, we have found the only center in a decentralized world."

#### Postscript
Maybe one day in the future, (Cyber Dragon) will be shut down and BNX will return to zero. But those late-night codes, the battle cries in the dungeon, and her red cheeks when arguing have long been written into our private on-chain ledger - irrevocable and permanently stored.
