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

There were already many contestants warming up at the rehearsal site. When Gu Wan and Lou Yue walked in, the noisy venue suddenly became quiet for a moment, and then returned to normal, but whispers spread like ripples.

"That's Gu Wan? I heard the competition was postponed because of her..."

"Who knows? Her agent is Lou Yue. What's the big deal about postponing the game?"

"I heard that she and Yueyin's senior management..."

Lou Yue glanced coldly at the source of the voice, and the discussions immediately stopped.

"Wanwan, I finally see you. Where did you go after you went downstairs that day?" Mo Xiaoai immediately came up to Gu Wan when she saw her, holding her hand and asked with concern.

Gu Wan frowned, then immediately withdrew her hand and said with a polite smile: "Um... hello, Mo Xiaoai!"

Mo Xiaoai and Lou Yue looked at each other in confusion. After a moment, Lou Yue said, "It's too late. Wanwan, go through your solo dance with me now, and then the song part. The repertoire will remain as planned. Are you okay with that?"

Gu Wan's throat tightened. The information said that she was a singer and dancer who had won many newcomer awards, but at this moment she couldn't even remember what the competition song was. "I..." She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain her situation.

The music had already started, a pop song with a strong sense of rhythm. Gu Wan stood in the middle of the venue, the spotlight shining on her, and everything around her seemed to disappear.

The moment the prelude ended, her body suddenly moved automatically - muscle memory took over control, and her limbs smoothly completed a series of complex movements, like a programmed robot.

"Very good, that's it!" Lou Yue shouted from the audience, with a hint of surprise and relief in her eyes.

But the good times didn't last long. When it came to the chorus, Gu Wan's movements began to become hesitant.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her eyes gradually became panicked. After a spin, she completely forgot about the next move and froze in place.

The music suddenly stopped. The venue was eerily quiet.

"Gu Wan," Lou Yue strode onto the stage, lowering her voice to a very low level, "What's wrong with you?"

"I..." Gu Wan's lips trembled, "I don't remember." These four simple words seemed to have exhausted all her strength.

Lou Yue's pupils suddenly contracted. He grabbed Gu Wan's wrist with such force that it almost left a bruise. "What do you mean you don't remember?"

"It means exactly what it says." Gu Wan broke free from his hand, her voice filled with tears, "I have lost my memory for more than half a month. I don't know who I am, what our relationship is, or even why I am standing here!"

Lou Yue's expression quickly changed from shock to some complicated emotions.

He took a deep breath. "Look, there's no time to explain too much right now. But you have to trust me, okay? I'm going to get you through tonight's game."

His eyes showed a strange amber color under the spotlight, filled with emotions that Gu Wan could not understand. But at this time, Gu Wan, who had lost his memory, could only nod.

Lou Yue was thinking about how to adjust her performance rhythm. Suddenly, a cold pine scent mixed with a faint smell of tobacco drifted over. He frowned without even raising his head and said, "Who told you not to knock on the door--"

Before he finished speaking, a shadow had covered half of the table.

The man supported the edge of the table with one hand, a section of cold white wrist bone was exposed from his sleeve, and the platinum dial flashed a dazzling light under the light.

Lou Yue just squinted her eyes and looked up, just in time to see the man leaning forward slightly - Si Yehan's eyelashes drooped behind his glasses, like two crow feathers suppressing his bottomless eyes.

"Mr. Si?" He leaned back suddenly, and the chair made a harsh friction sound.

He held a document between his fingertips and threw it in front of Lou Yue, "I heard that you are adjusting Wanwan's performance plan?" His voice was like chilled metal, but his eyes passed over him and fell on Gu Wan who was putting on makeup in the distance.

Lou Yue immediately stood up and nodded, but just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Si Yehan, "Don't think about it, just use this plan." Then he tapped the document on the table lightly.

Lou Yue quickly opened it and saw that it was the theme song of Gu Wan's upcoming album - "Star Trails". But after reading to the end, Lou Yue strained her eyes a little and quickly confirmed:

"Master Si means that you will also perform and help Wan...Gu Wan play the piano?!"

"Ah."

"But, this..."

"Go and arrange it quickly." As he said that, he walked towards the direction his eyes had been fixed on - Gu Wan.

Gu Wan, who had just finished putting on her makeup, was still worried. When she saw Si Yehan in the mirror, she was about to stand up, but Si Yehan pushed her back to her seat with both hands and slowly said:

"Don't worry, I'll accompany you in the game later."

"Accompany me... together?"

"Well, let's perform the song 'Star Trails' that we collaborated on before. I'll play it and you'll dance."

"But...I'm worried..."

"Dancing is not about memory, it's about instinct," he whispered in her ear, his warm breath brushing her earlobe. "Your body remembers everything, let it lead you, we're going to rehearse now."

"it is good."

Gu Wan slowly began to get into the mood as Si Yehan played the piano. She was even immersed in it.

When Gu Wan opened her eyes again, she was surprised to find that she could follow most of the movements.

What was even stranger was that whenever Si Yehan's singing mixed in, the inexplicable excitement in her body would intensify, as if an electric current was running from the point of contact to her entire body.

"Very good, that's it!" Lou Yue smiled rarely at the end of the rehearsal. "Take a break, the competition will start in an hour."

Gu Wan returned to the dressing room to touch up her makeup, and she stared at herself in the mirror in a daze.

The girl in the mirror had delicate features and a slightly pale complexion, with a small teardrop mole under the right corner of her eye. She reached out to touch the mirror, trying to establish a connection with this unfamiliar self.

"Look at me, are you nervous?" Si Yehan's voice came from behind. He had already changed into his performance costume - a well-tailored black suit with a deep V-neck silk shirt underneath. He exuded a dangerous and charming aura.

Gu Wan nodded honestly: "A little bit. But more of it is... a strange sense of anticipation. It's as if my body is more eager for this stage than my brain."

Si Yehan's eyes flickered. "That's because you were born for the stage." He said softly, "Whether you remember it or not, it's calling you."

The competition started on time. Gu Wan was scheduled to appear fifth. The previous contestants performed mediocrely and the judges looked a little tired. When the host called out her name, the audience burst into warm applause and screams - obviously, she was more popular than expected.

Gu Wan felt dizzy as the spotlight enveloped her again. Her mind went blank for the first few seconds of the music. Then she saw Si Yehan in front of the piano, and he was lip-syncing to her, "Look at me."
