At the wine party.

Luo Sheng kept drinking, rubbing the star necklace in his hand, looking much more depressed.

Yu Nian remembered Aunt Luo's instructions that morning, sighed, and got up helplessly. She picked up the drink on the table and sat down next to Luo Sheng.

"What? Still not over it?" Yu Nian took a sip of her drink and asked the person next to her who was heartbroken.

Luo Sheng realized that the figure landing was Yu Nian, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

Yu Nian didn't care that he didn't answer. He was always like this when he was unhappy. Over the years, she had figured out his personality.

"If you still like her, go after her. You know where she is, isn't it easy to find out? Instead of being sad here, you should hurry up and win her back." Yu Nian spoke calmly, leaving Luo Sheng stunned.

"No one supports me being with her, even she thinks we have no future. I never expected that only you, Niannian, are willing to support me."

It's so hard to meet someone you like who also likes you. Even after saying goodbye to that unrequited love, all she hopes is that the boy she liked can find happiness in love.

"So, what are you planning to do now? Are you planning to go to America to find her?"

"Niannian, I'm not going to go see her."

For some reason, Yu Nian seemed to see hope again in Luo Sheng's eyes. She didn't ask why, and quietly waited for his answer.

“Niannian, I’m not going to see her anymore. I want to enter the entertainment industry, I want to be a singer, and I want to be with her. She said she wants to establish herself in the entertainment industry, so I’ll go with her.”

Yu Nian suddenly stood up from her seat. What had she just heard? Was he joking with her?

"Are you crazy, Luo Sheng?! You were the one who said studying finance was your dream, and now you're telling me you're giving up your favorite major to go into the entertainment industry? Are you kidding me? Do you think your life is a game?"

This was the first time Yu Nian had initiated an argument with Luo Sheng. She never expected that Luo Sheng would make such an absurd decision after their breakup.

Luo Sheng, have you finally become like me? For the person in your heart, you're willing to give up what you love.

“I’m not joking, Niannian. I’m sorry, Niannian. But only in this way can she and I have a future. I want to stay where she is, so that it feels like she’s not so far away from me.”

Yu Nian now felt like a fool. She had given up her beloved music academy to study finance with Luo Sheng, and now Luo Sheng had given up finance for the person he loved. He had not only given up his dream, but also completely given up everything that was left between them.

So she was the joke all along. No wonder Baijiu looked at her like that back then.

"Your aunt and uncle won't agree. Luo Sheng, you need to think this through."

Yu Nian knew that once he made a decision, nothing else mattered.

“My parents definitely won’t agree. So, Niannian, I need your help. I know your dream has never been finance, so I’m asking for your help.”

Before Luo Sheng could finish speaking, Yu Nian had already guessed seven or eight parts of what Luo Sheng wanted to do.

He wanted her to be with him.

“Niannian, come with me. You play your piano, and I'll compose my music. Let's go back to the days we used to live. You gave up your beloved piano before, and this time, it's not just for the sake of liquor; I also want you to return to your stage. Niannian, I know I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you back then, but on the stage, that's your dream, isn't it?”

Yu Nian looked at him with red eyes: "Luo Sheng, what gives you the right to just leave whenever you want, and start over whenever you want?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Sheng was stunned for a long time before finally uttering these words:

Do you remember what Teacher Su Yun said?

Yu Nian suddenly remembered a long, long time ago, in the music classroom, when Teacher Su Yun said to the two of them:

"You two are a match made in heaven, musical partners who resonate with each other."

Su Yun was their music teacher and Yu Nian's mentor. Over fifty years old, Su Yun had high hopes for Yu Nian, but she still disappointed her.

Luo Sheng was a talented composer, and she was a skilled pianist. Their seamless collaboration led them to win numerous national awards during junior high school, before the internet became so prevalent. Their fame grew, and they became incredibly popular, with everyone around them having high hopes for their future. However, all of this came to an end after Luo Sheng announced his withdrawal from the industry.

She will always remember the regretful and disappointed look in Teacher Su Yun's eyes when she looked at her.

Luo Sheng's words did sway Yu Nian slightly, but Yu Nian didn't know if the decision was worthwhile, nor was she sure if she had the confidence to return to that stage.

Should we rekindle our original dreams?

Over the years, she has longed for it, but she has also been very afraid of it.

She looked at her own hands. Could she still do it?
