Chapter 1. The focus on the fragments themselves is a kind of light. ...
"Ahhh! My brother won the Best Newcomer Award!" Song Yu's excited voice rang out in the office.
Jiang Xinglan, who was staring at the computer analyzing experimental data, heard the noise, turned her head to look, and asked, "Your brother?"
"Hmm!" Song Yu exerted a little force with her legs, causing the chair to slide up, and then Jiang Xinglan's body swayed slightly.
“Look, this is my brother!” Song Yu held up her phone in front of Jiang Xinglan.
Jiang Xinglan shifted her gaze slightly, and what came into view was a photo of a man holding a trophy and speaking in front of a microphone, but... his eyebrows and eyes seemed somewhat familiar.
Jiang Xinglan's gaze lingered on the phone screen for a second longer before looking away. "Yes, congratulations."
"Hehe, thank you, senior sister, for my brother!" Song Yu said happily. "His name is Shen Yuheng. He just graduated from the drama academy last year, and I didn't expect him to win the Best Newcomer Award this year! The key is, he's handsome too!"
"Oh~ So the last sentence is the key point?" Jiang Xinglan teased.
"Senior sister, don't you think so?" Song Yu leaned closer, staring at Jiang Xinglan.
Jiang Xinglan caught a glimpse of her blinking, pleading for approval, and nodded. "Yeah, very handsome!"
"Right? I also think Shen Yuheng is very handsome!" Song Yu straightened up after getting a satisfactory answer. "Senior sister, how come I have such good taste! I actually discovered such a high-quality actor! Not only are his looks, abilities, and character all top-notch, but, senior sister, do you know? My brother has so many—"
Jiang Xinglan glanced at the clock on the table, interrupting Song Yu's praise, and looked at her seriously, "Well, our classmate Song Yu, who has excellent taste, allow me to remind you that you said you would hand in the literature summary to Lao Song tonight, and it's almost nine o'clock now."
"What!?" Song Yu's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "It's already nine o'clock!"
Jiang Xinglan covered her ears with one hand and leaned away from Song Yu, saying, "If you hurry up, you still have time."
"Okay! Thanks for reminding me, senior sister!" The junior sister put her phone aside, and before putting on her headphones, she said again, "I'll tell you next time, senior sister!!" Then, she stared intently at the computer, her fingers flying across the keyboard.
The office fell silent again, with only the sound of keyboards clicking away.
While refreshing her email, Jiang Xinglan noticed the person in the photo inexplicably appearing in her mind. She subtly typed "shenyuheng" into the search bar, and without even needing to think about the exact three characters, the answer appeared directly in the candidate box—Shen Yuheng.
Jiang Xinglan scrolled through the search results, which were mostly congratulations and praises for his award that night.
Jiang Xinglan then clicked on his homepage, where he had just updated his status within about 10 minutes:
[Shen Yuheng V: Thank you for your support. This is just the beginning, and I will continue to work hard in the future. #StarrySkyFilmFestival#]
[Photo: Shen Yuheng holding the trophy]
The somewhat blurry face in her memory gradually overlapped with the person on the computer screen, and only then did Jiang Xinglan recognize him.
It turns out that the boy who was somewhat confused about the future backstage at the TV station a few years ago has already found the path he loves and is working hard for it.
Jiang Xinglan moved the mouse and continued browsing.
[Shen Yuheng V: Someone told me that focus itself is a kind of radiance. #StarTrailFragments#]
[Illustration: An open Introduction to Physics (First Edition)]
[@Hengxing Aboriginal: When did you become interested in physics?!]
[@985494: Physics major passing by.]
"What are you doing?" Su Wan pushed open the office door and sat down next to Jiang Xinglan, asking.
Jiang Xinglan slightly moved the computer screen. "I'm reading the comments from netizens."
Su Wan peeked over and said, "Shen Yuheng? He seems to be quite popular lately."
"Yeah, it's pretty popular. Even my junior sister has fallen for it," Jiang Xinglan said with a smile.
"But I remember this book has already been revised? It seems like quite a few errors have been corrected." Su Wan looked at the image on the screen.
"Well, so I'll leave a comment." After typing the words, Jiang Xinglan closed the page. "Also, to distract myself a bit."
"Are you nervous?"
Jiang Xinglan nodded frankly, "It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous. Aren't you nervous?"
“How could I not be nervous? After all, it’s ‘Frontiers in Neurobiology’,” Su Wan pursed her lips. “So, I came to chat with you.”
“But no matter what, we’re only second-year graduate students, and it’s already great that we’ve made it to the final review. Besides, we’ve already revised it according to the editor’s suggestions,” Jiang Xinglan said. “If we’re still rejected, we’ll just submit to another journal. It’s no big deal.”
“But if our first journal for this project could be Frontiers in Neurobiology, our subsequent research would go much more smoothly.” Su Wan’s tone still held some concern.
"The hardest times are over," Jiang Xinglan comforted her.
"Mm." Su Wan nodded. With Jiang Xinglan waiting with her, Su Wan felt much more at ease. Zhou Cuo was really blind back then.
And what about Zhou Cuo? I was blind to have been with him!
"What's wrong? Why do you look like that?" Jiang Xinglan asked.
"It's nothing, just something upsetting came to mind," Su Wan said.
"My two beautiful senior sisters, please save the child!" Song Yu's voice rang out in the office, "Why does this glycosylation modification..."
---
Shen Yuheng, who had just returned to the car, leaned back in his seat to rest, while his manager, Wei Yu, was looking at his phone and reading out the upcoming schedule.
At this moment, Shen Yuheng's phone emitted two unprecedented notification sounds, and he quickly grabbed the phone to check.
[@J_Stella: Congratulations.]
[@J_Stella: The second edition of *Introduction to Physics* has undergone extensive revisions and cuts; I recommend reading the latest version.]
With an irrepressible smile in his eyes, Shen Yuheng rolled down the car window and pressed the shutter, looking up at the night sky that she was probably gazing at as well.
Not long after, Shen Yuheng's fans saw a fresh update:
[Shen Yuheng V: I'm very lucky; I've also encountered a beautiful starry sky. #StarTrailsFragments#]
Image: Night Sky
[@珩星星球: Bro, where are the stars?! Also, where's your selfie??]
[@PotatoWhoJustWantsToMakeMoney: Brother, you've got such a packed schedule lately, how come you still have time to stargaze? Take care and get some rest!]
Looking at Shen Yuheng's expression, Wei Yu said, "Yuheng, theoretically, the company doesn't interfere with your personal life or relationships." After considering his words for a moment, Wei Yu continued, "If you have a relationship, you must tell the company in time."
Shen Yuheng realized his manager had misunderstood. "Brother Wei, I don't have a girlfriend."
"Then why were you laughing so happily just now? I thought you were even happier than when you won the award."
"I just received congratulations from someone very important," Shen Yuheng said.
“Anyway,” Wei Yu said, “it’s better to focus on your own career for now.”
“I know,” Shen Yuheng said seriously, “Don’t worry, Brother Wei.”
The wind outside the window slipped into the car, blowing away the stray hairs in front of Shen Yuheng's eyes, revealing a pair of eyes filled with starlight, the traces left by the rapidly passing streetlights in his eyes.
