A fleeting moment of glory; the Yu-Luo duo is nothing special.
The beautiful vision that teacher Su Yun had hoped for did not come true; she did not see her two students stand on the stage of the national championship. After the Shanghai Music Radio competition, Yu Nian and Luo Sheng missed the Hangzhou concert.
No one expected that the two would become a national sensation with "Stars and Moon" at lightning speed, and then bid farewell to all their fans with "Ying" just as quickly.
No one knows what happened back then, only that these two people retired from the music industry at the height of their popularity. Yu Nianluo's retirement became a trending topic, and the comment section under the official Weibo account of Yinwei Studio was quickly besieged by numerous fans.
However, the only official explanation is:
"Thank you for your support. Ms. Yu Nian and Mr. Luo Sheng are withdrawing from the music stage due to their studies. We are very sorry and regretful that they cannot participate in the Hangzhou concert. In addition, the contracts between Ms. Yu Nian and Mr. Luo Sheng and our company will expire on July 10, 2015."
At the time, many people didn't understand why, and some even believed they would come back. But five or six years have passed, and "sashimi" has finally remained in people's memories.
Many people later asked Su Yun why Yu Luo left the entertainment industry so suddenly. Su Yun just smiled, her eyes filled with regret.
"It's all in the past."
If you were to ask Yu Nian what she regrets most in her life, she wouldn't even need to think about it. The thing she regrets most in her life is that she gave up music and her beloved piano despite everyone's objections.
June 25, 2015
Yu Nian will always remember that day. It was the day of their high school entrance exam, and also the day Luo Sheng announced his withdrawal.
The timeline goes back to the last day of the 2015 middle school entrance examination.
"Finally finished the exam! Luo Sheng, how did you do?" Yu Nian, who had just come out of the exam room, saw Luo Sheng not far away and skipped over to grab him.
The grueling high school entrance exam is finally over! She did well this time and should be able to get into the same high school as Luo Sheng.
Thinking of all this, Yu Nian smiled broadly, her bright eyes looking at Luo Sheng as if they were filled with stars.
"Hey! Luo Sheng, why aren't you answering me? Tell me how you did on the exam..." Before Yu Nian could finish speaking, Luo Sheng's face, which was uglier than anything else, frightened her.
Did he not do well on the test? That shouldn't be the case.
"Yu Nian, I don't want to sing anymore." Luo Sheng, knowing he hadn't done well on the exam, said coldly.
"What's the meaning?"
The girl's bright expression vanished abruptly upon hearing Luo Sheng's words, replaced by confusion and astonishment.
For a moment, Yu Nian couldn't understand what Luo Sheng meant by those words.
"I said, I can't sing with you anymore."
Looking at Yu Nian's face, which had suddenly turned from rosy to pale, Luo Sheng felt a pang of pity.
"But, but, we're going to a concert in Hangzhou next month, you, you, then I..."
He's backed out, so what will happen to her?
Yu Nian felt as if she had suddenly become mute, and the words that were about to come out of her mouth just wouldn't come out.
He was standing right in front of her, but she suddenly felt that he was very, very far away from her.
"Why?"
She was unwilling to be abandoned; she wanted to know why he had suddenly chosen to leave.
"There's no reason why. I'm tired. I don't like it anymore. I've always loved math. You and music have influenced me."
Luo Sheng didn't make excuses; what he said was truly what he felt.
The constant travel over the past three years has caused his grades to drop significantly. He originally thought he could balance music and math, but he overestimated himself. He didn't perform well in this year's high school entrance exam, and he wasn't confident that he would have the opportunity to attend the best high school in the city with Yu Nian.
He never expected to become so popular. Music, including Yu Nian, and the crazy fans who would surround him from time to time, had permeated his entire life.
It seems that as long as he is connected with music, he will always be tied to Yu Nian. The current situation is not what he wanted, and the development of events has exceeded his expectations.
He couldn't let himself get any deeper into this mess.
Young people are always full of youthful spirit. He hardened his heart and told Yu Nian that he was quitting on the day of the high school entrance exam.
"I'm sorry, Niannian." The boy's last words contained a lot of apology, but also a lot of determination.
After Luo Sheng left that day, Yu Nian squatted on the playground and cried for a very long time.
He had clearly said that she was an important person to him, but he still abandoned her without even looking back.
It turns out that only the most important things will not be abandoned.
"Are you really sure, Nian Nian?"
Upon learning that her students Luo Sheng and Yu Nian had both chosen to give up music, Su Yun became much more haggard in just a few days.
"I've made up my mind, teacher." After struggling for several days, Yu Nian finally made this choice. At this moment, she could not look her mentor in the eye.
Su Yun glanced at Yu Nian, sighed, and her calm tone revealed a great deal of disappointment.
"Niannian, you're too fixated on this. Why can't you do things well without him?"
"Niannian, you need to get over this."
These were the last words her teacher said to her, and she would always remember the disappointed look in her teacher's eyes before he left.
Su Yun had too many expectations of her, and she was well aware of that.
But without Luo Sheng, she couldn't be sure if she had the ability to continue. After Luo Sheng left, she tried to compose on her own, but no matter how she played or practiced, she could never recapture the feeling she had before.
She seemed to have lost her way, and her hands trembled from time to time as she touched the piano keys. She began to doubt herself, but the closer the Hangzhou concert got, the more nervous she became.
During a solo concert, she even played "Ying," a piece she had played hundreds of times, wrong several notes. Looking at the people around her and the constant questioning online, she felt lost, but she finally understood that she loved Luo Sheng and couldn't live without him.
Over the past three years, Yu Nian has truly relied on Luo Sheng. Although he is somewhat aloof and seems indifferent to everyone, he often brings her inspiration and warmth. Whenever faced with external doubts, it is always Luo Sheng who holds her hand and tells her not to be afraid.
She knew that their success was inseparable from each other.
The feeling of Bo Ya finding a soulmate—without him, what meaning would it have for her to be alone?
Her beautiful dream of standing on the championship stage together with the other two will never come true.
After locking herself in her room for more than half a month, she finally chose to give up, even though everyone in her family and around her disagreed.

"I was blinded by love and obsession, but the future will not allow me to have a second chance."
