On the day of graduation, I was dragged by my rich father to get the certificate

Si Yehan walked slowly towards the piano, his slender fingers gently stroking the keys, as if greeting an old friend.

He sat with his back straight and shoulders relaxed, and every movement was filled with innate elegance.

Taking a deep breath, his fingers fell on the piano keys and he began to play the MV theme song he co-produced with Gu Wan - "Star Trails".

The prelude flows out like water, and the notes jump in the air.

This was created by Gu Wan for him. It was the night of her eighteenth birthday when the figure in front of the window brought her the first thrill.

Although Si Yehan knew nothing about this.

The moment the piano sounded, Gu Wan's body visibly stiffened.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her fingers unconsciously grasped the waistband of her bathrobe.

This melody...why does it look so familiar?

She was sure she had never heard it before, but her heart was beating uncontrollably, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

Si Yehan raised his eyes from the piano keys and observed Gu Wan's reaction through the small mirror above the piano.

His heart skipped a beat when he saw her toes begin to tap the ground lightly to the rhythm.

Gu Wan didn't know why he did this.

Her body seemed to have its own memory and found a certain rhythm in the music.

First the toes, then the knees, and then the whole body begins to sway slightly.

Her fingers loosened their belt and drew graceful arcs in the air to the rhythm.

"Do you remember?" Si Yehan's voice mixed in with the sound of the piano. "This is the song you wrote."

Gu Wan didn't answer, but her dance became more relaxed.

The wide cuffs of her bathrobe fluttered with her movements, like a pair of white wings.

Her dance steps were precise and smooth. She didn't look like someone with amnesia at all, but rather the dancer who once shone brightly on the stage.

Si Yehan's mouth curled up unconsciously.

He changed the rhythm and added a more exciting interlude - this was the dance part that Gu Wan improvised when they were shooting the MV.

To his surprise, Gu Wan's body responded immediately. She spun beautifully, the hem of her bathrobe flying up, revealing her slender ankles.

At this moment, a picture flashed through Gu Wan's mind: the sunset, the beach, the waves, and Si Yehan looking at her tenderly in the afterglow...

The sound of the tide gradually became lazy, and the wind carrying the smell of sea salt blew the last warmth of the sunset into the air.

The piano music continued to flow, and Si Yehan joined in the vocals, humming the chorus softly.

His voice was low and gentle, and every word seemed to be sung specifically for her.

Gu Wan's dance steps became bolder. She began to move around the piano. The belt of her bathrobe loosened a little, revealing a small piece of skin at her collarbone.

Her expression gradually changed from confusion to a trance-like pleasure, as if her body had remembered some long-lost happiness.

Suddenly, another scene flashed: on the stage, she was wearing a shining costume, spinning under the spotlight, and Si Yehan was sitting on the side of the stage, his eyes following her the whole time...

"Ah..." Gu Wan cried out softly, stopped dancing, and pressed his temples with both hands.

The images came so fast and so suddenly that she felt dizzy.

The sound of the piano stopped suddenly.

Si Yehan immediately stood up and supported her shaking body, "Wanwan? Are you okay?"

Gu Wan raised his head, his eyes were no longer so strange, he stammered: "You are my star." But his head suddenly split again.

"Wanwan?!"

Si Yehan was about to carry her to the hospital when he was stopped by Gu Wan, who had regained his composure.

She looked at Si Yehan, her lips trembling: "I...I seemed to see something. The seaside, the beach, a stage... and..."

She couldn't continue. The fragments of memory were too scattered to form a complete picture.

Si Yehan's heartbeat quickened. He held her hand carefully. "It's okay. Take your time. It's good that you can remember a little." His thumb gently stroked her knuckles, trying to soothe her.

Gu Wan looked down at their clasped hands, and another memory emerged: in front of the window, back view, night...

“This piece of music…” she whispered. “It’s very important to me, isn’t it?”

Si Yehan's eyes lit up. "It's very important. This is the beginning of your dream." He pulled her to sit in front of the piano. "Want to try it? Your muscles may still remember it."

Gu Wan stretched out her hand hesitantly, and when her fingertips touched the piano keys, a strange sense of familiarity came over her.

She pressed a few keys tentatively, and a short melody came out - it was the beginning of "Star Trails".

"I...I don't know how I could..." She looked at her hands in surprise.

Si Yehan hugged her from behind, placed his hands over hers, and guided her fingers to move on the keys. "Your body remembers, Wanwan. Your heart remembers too, it just takes a little time."

Gu Wan closed her eyes and immersed herself in this familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.

The piano music started again, this time it was played by four hands.

She had no idea what the next note would be, but her fingers seemed to have a mind of their own.

Behind her tightly closed eyelids, more fragments of memory flickered like stars—the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the hair dryer, the snail rice noodle…

When the last note dissipated in the air, Gu Wan opened his eyes and found that his cheeks were wet.

She was not sure how much she remembered, but one feeling was extremely clear - the man sitting next to her was an indispensable part of her life.

"Ye Han..." she called softly. This was the first time she called him by this intimate name after losing her memory.

Si Yehan's breathing stagnated, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Gu Wan choked up and said, "I'm sorry... I tried really hard, but I still can't seem to remember you completely, I..."

Si Yehan excitedly hugged her into his arms, resting his chin lightly on the top of her head, and tremblingly said, "Wanwan, thank you. I am already very satisfied. Let's... let's take it slow."

Gu Wan relaxed in his arms, the sound of his strong heartbeat in her ears.

At this time, the butler came to the door and said respectfully:

"Mr. Si, Ms. Gu Wan, lunch is ready."

Hearing the sound, Gu Wan's fingertips unconsciously tightened the belt of his bathrobe.

Si Yehan almost immediately blocked Gu Wan with his body and shouted, "Get out!"

The housekeeper knew that he had disturbed Master Si's good time, so he left immediately and closed the door.

The two people didn't do anything at first, but after the housekeeper did this, it seemed like they had really done something.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Si Yehan used his slender fingers to pretend to adjust the cuffs of his suit. The seven-digit Patek Philippe watch glowed coldly on his wrist.

Gu Wan also lowered her head shyly.

"Let's go out," she said, standing up, her voice hoarse than she had expected.

"okay."

The moment Si Yehan stood up and turned around, Gu Wan saw a flash of emotion in his eyes that she couldn't understand.

At this split second, the clasp of his watch caught on the straps of her bathrobe - they both noticed the accident at the same time, but it was too late.

Gu Wan felt her waist loosen and the silk slipped off her shoulders like water.

Time seemed to be stretched, and she could clearly feel the trembling of every inch of her skin exposed to the cold air of the air conditioner.

The bathrobe lay piled at her feet like a withered flower.
