The Hangzhou concert a month later.
A huge crowd of people waited from the start to the end of the concert, but the person they wanted to see never showed up, even though the staff reminded them many times that Luo Sheng had contacted the organizers and said he wouldn't be coming.
Luo Sheng's absence doesn't mean Yu Nian won't come.
They waited and waited, but in the end, no one received anything. All they got was a farewell song that Yu Nian sent hastily.
In the video, Yu Nian played a piece on the piano called "Farewell." It was a new song she wrote, a song she forced herself to write for three nights, a song without Luo Sheng's signature.
The song is short, beautiful yet sad.
At the end of the video, fans were surprised to find that it would be Yu Nian's farewell video.
The girl in the video was very pretty, but her face was pale and her words were full of apology.
"Dear friends, hello! I'm sorry to meet you in this way, and I'm also sorry that I couldn't make it to Hangzhou for the concert. This song, 'Farewell,' is my farewell gift to you. I'm sorry to tell you that I have to withdraw from the music scene for some reason, and I regret that I can no longer create songs for you. Thank you for liking 'Stars and Moon' and 'Ying,' and I hope that both songs can continue to bring you joy. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement! Goodbye, my friends."
After the video ended, the entire room fell silent.
There are many different opinions online. Some people guessed that Yu Nian and Luo Sheng had broken up, some guessed that the two of them were blacklisted, some said that Yu Nian and Luo Sheng hated each other because of love, and even more outrageous ones said that Yu Nian cheated on Luo Sheng or that Luo Sheng cheated on Yu Nian.
The two's retirement from the entertainment industry sparked heated discussions within the sector, with their rivals purchasing numerous smear articles, resulting in a large number of people online criticizing Luo Sheng and his studio, and even more criticizing Yu Nian. The fact that neither of them responded further fueled the dissatisfaction of many netizens.
Many of Luo Sheng's female fans believed that Yu Nian hurt Luo Sheng, which is why Luo Sheng never showed his face again. As a result, they launched a vicious online attack on Yu Nian, which seriously affected her normal life.
Even Su Yun was once cyberbullied by some self-proclaimed champions of justice, to the point that she later resigned from her job as a music teacher in Nanyang and returned to her hometown.
In the end, it was only through the combined power of the Yu and Luo families that the malicious trending topic was suppressed.
After the middle school entrance exam, Luo Sheng flew directly to the United States without even saying goodbye to Yu Nian.
So when the news broke, he was far away abroad and knew nothing about it.
When the two met again, it was already the start of their first year of high school.
Luo Sheng was right. His grades really did drop a lot during his year of studying music. In this high school entrance exam, his score was more than fifty points lower than Yu Nian's.
Being able to attend the same high school as Yu Nian this time was only by barely passing the cutoff score.
Due to the significant difference in scores, Yu Nian was assigned to Class A, while Luo Sheng was assigned to Class B.
The two hadn't seen each other for only two months, but when they met again, it felt like several years had passed.
After returning to China, Luo Sheng later learned that after he left, Yu Nian also left Yinwei Studio. He did not expect that with his departure, Yu Nian would also give up her favorite music.
So his gaze toward Yu Nian was filled with apology. It was all his fault. Not only had Yu Nian suffered so much, but he had also caused her to give up what she wanted.
She hated the look Luo Sheng gave her.
"Yu Nian, it's been a long time."
The two, who hadn't been in contact for a long time, didn't know what to say for a moment. Yu Nian thought that after he left, there would be no more connection between them.
"Long time no see, Brother Luo Sheng."
Upon hearing the long-lost greeting of "Brother Luo Sheng," Luo Sheng naturally raised his hand to pat Yu Nian's head, but then he lowered his hand again.
What is he doing?
"I'm sorry, Niannian. I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye. I didn't expect things to escalate so badly. Niannian, how have you been these past two months?"
Yu Nian originally wanted to dodge his hand that was about to touch her head, but she didn't expect him to put it down before he could even touch her head.
Indeed, distance can make people strangers. Brother Luo Sheng, we used to have no secrets from each other.
When Luo Sheng was young, he often felt lonely and bored. He cherished Yu Nian because he had someone to accompany him. So he would tell Yu Nian everything and never treated her as a girl.
But at some point, they became increasingly estranged, to the point that he found it annoying when she walked next to him.
"I'm doing great, Brother Luo Sheng. I actually feel much more relaxed after I stopped learning music. How about you? How are things in America, Brother Luo Sheng?"
Luo Sheng glanced at Yu Nian again, and only after confirming that there was no unusual expression on her face did his guilt lessen somewhat.
"I'm fine. I brought some gifts for my family and for you. I'll give them to you tomorrow." Seeing that Yu Nian didn't want to bring up the previous matter anymore, Luo Sheng went along with her and changed the subject.
"Okay, Brother Luo Sheng! Let's go to class together."
The girl's positive and cheerful demeanor made it seem as if nothing had happened.
She kept calling out "Brother Luo Sheng, Brother Luo Sheng," and seeing the smile on her lips, Luo Sheng felt for a moment that their relationship had returned to the carefree days of their childhood, yet it also seemed not to be.
I wish that were true.
Yu Nian's Diary 12
"I still like it, but I've buried a layer of caution in that liking."
"I don't want to lose, so I need to have courage."
Luo Sheng's Diary
"It's like I've lost something. This strange feeling has been bothering me for a long time. I want to ask others, but I've never had the courage to speak up."
