At Nanyang No.1 High School, there is a pair of childhood sweethearts.

One was a skilled composer, the other a skilled pianist. He composed for her, and she performed for him, stunning countless campus galas.

They are the campus icons of Nanyang No.1 High School's 2015 graduating class, and also each other's best partners.

Their combination is referred to online as "sashimi".

That was Yu Nian's most cherished memory, and also the story she least wanted to be mentioned.

Yu Nian, who has loved music since childhood, was sent to a music training class by her parents at an early age. She can sing, compose, and is proficient in several musical instruments, but her piano playing is particularly outstanding.

Unlike Yu Nian, Luo Sheng was forced to learn by his parents. He liked math, but his parents thought he shouldn't be locked in his room looking at numbers all day, fearing he would become too bored. They wanted to explore his other interests, so they dragged him to learn music with Yu Nian.

There were only two students in the huge training class. Their teacher was named Su Yun, who exuded an artistic aura. In Yu Nian's eyes, she was an exceptionally gentle person, poised, refined, and graceful.

When Luo Sheng first came to the training course, he was extremely rebellious, sleeping soundly in all his vocal lessons and impossible to wake up no matter how hard he tried. Yet, he attended every single class, which made Yu Nian curse him inwardly. According to Luo Sheng, he came because he was afraid Yu Nian would be lonely, but Yu Nian didn't need a living, breathing person who only knew how to sleep all day.

Su Yun often couldn't do anything about him and never paid attention to him, so she only favored Yu Nian.

Su Yun liked Yu Nian, admiring the yearning and passion for music in her eyes, and praising her talent and hard work in this area. So, she would always use her own savings to give Yu Nian small gifts, treating her like her own daughter, which often made Luo Sheng, who was the same age, envious.

After giving Yu Nian a pair of running shoes, Su Yun patted Yu Nian's head contentedly, glancing at Luo Sheng, who was feeling sore, but ignored him.

Yu Nian: Today's gift is so strange...

"Niannian, you are very talented in this area, especially in piano. Your teacher hopes that you will stay true to your original aspirations and continue to work hard."

Yu Nian was exceptionally well-behaved in junior high school. Her eyes sparkled when she spoke, and before she knew it, she was so adorable that the teacher patted her head.

Sitting next to Yu Nian, Luo Sheng couldn't stand it anymore. He hadn't cared about Su Yun secretly giving Yu Nian small musical instruments in the past, but today he couldn't resist! He also liked running shoes, and the pair the teacher gave Yu Nian was hard to buy. Of all the gifts, running shoes!

It's quite attractive.

He couldn't understand it at all. He had been in the training class for almost half a month, and the teacher ignored him completely, but showed concern for Yu Nian, that bookworm.

The competitive spirit of youth is always so inexplicable. From childhood to adulthood, everyone around him liked him; he was no less capable than Yu Nian.

Luo Sheng couldn't help but say, "Teacher Su, why are you so good to Yu Nian? You give her gifts every day. You're really biased."

Su Yun glanced at Luo Sheng, then at Yu Nian, and couldn't help but laugh. This young master, who had been sleeping with her for half a month, had finally taken the bait. Her inquiries hadn't been in vain; she'd learned that this young master was quite fond of collecting running shoes.

"Who told you not to pay attention in class? You didn't listen properly, you didn't practice the piano properly, and you didn't sing properly. On the contrary, look at Niannian. She's only been in class for half a month, and she already knows the piano inside and out. If I don't favor her, who will I favor?"

Su Yun answered Luo Sheng with a serious expression, but the boy's next move slightly shocked her.

"Who said I wasn't listening properly, Teacher Su? Even though I was sleeping, I was still paying attention in class. I already know the song you sent me last time." He scratched his head, seemingly embarrassed about singing later.

Seemingly feeling that his sincerity was not enough, Luo Sheng also took out a notebook from his desk, which was filled with lyrics and sheet music.

Luo Sheng: Hey, Mom made me do this, it's finally coming in handy! Watch me make you all look incredibly cool.

Yu Nian watched as Teacher Su took the paper from Luo Sheng's hand, and noticed a hint of approval in her eyes as she looked at Luo Sheng again.

"Well written, both of you are quite talented. In that case, why don't you and Yu Nian work together and see if you two can bring me a surprise?"

Yu Nian took the sheet music from the teacher and opened it, surprised to find that Luo Sheng had already learned so much. Indeed, there is a big difference between people; he can even listen to lessons while sleeping.

666!

Yu Nian walked to the piano and sat down, placing Luo Sheng's sheet music on it. She was eager to try, as it was the first time she had ever wanted to play a piece by a single person.

He's quite good at making "Stars and Moon"!

Yu Nian's Diary 9

"Stars and moon, the beginning of dreams. Summer's shimmering stones, the brief end of dreams."

"Follow your heart, and nothing in the world can stop you from pursuing your dreams."

Even if that thing is called love.

At that moment, I knew it.

I love music more than I love Luo Sheng.
