Looking at the little girl crying her eyes out, and then at Grandpa Lu who looked troubled, Su Sinian felt utterly overwhelmed.

This is the first time he's ever encountered something like this at such a young age.

Ultimately, he bore burdens that no one his age should have to bear.

He made up a random excuse, "Grandpa Lu, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll have to go now."

After saying that, before the two could react, he turned and walked towards the courtyard gate. He wasn't running, but his steps were so fast that he almost flew.

Lu Ranran cried out from behind, "Brother Niannian, don't go!"

Su Sinian didn't turn her head back, and quickened her pace.

"Little Niannian!" Lu Zhengyang wanted to call out to him, but Su Sinian had already opened the courtyard gate and slipped out in a flash.

With a bang, the door closed.

The courtyard fell silent instantly, with only Lu Ranran's sobbing remaining.

Lu Zhengyang sighed, squatted down, and picked up his granddaughter: "Alright, alright, Ranran, don't cry anymore..."

“Brother Niannian is gone…” Lu Ranran sobbed uncontrollably, clinging to her grandfather’s shoulder. “He doesn’t want Ranran anymore…”

Lu Zhengyang patted his granddaughter on the back, "How could that be? Niannian's brother is just busy with something. Didn't he say that he will always be your good friend?"

"But Ranran doesn't want to be good friends..." the little girl's voice was muffled.

Lu Zhengyang felt a mix of emotions. After a while, he gently advised, "Ranran, liking someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to get married."

Lu Ranran raised her head and looked at her grandfather through teary eyes.

Lu Zhengyang explained it in a way that children could understand: "Just like you like Xiaoming in kindergarten, but you also like Xiaohong and your teacher, right? Your liking for Niannian and your liking for Xiaoming are actually the same; they are the liking between good friends."

“It’s different…” Lu Ranran retorted softly, “Ranran wants to marry Brother Niannian, but doesn’t want to marry Xiaoming…”

Lu Zhengyang: "......"

My granddaughter is too precocious; we can no longer communicate with her.

......

Su Sinian ran away in one breath.

After I got in the car, my phone vibrated.

Su Sinian took out her phone and saw a message from Grandpa Lu: "Little Nian Nian, I'm sorry, Grandpa will take care of Ranran. You focus on your work and don't let it affect you."

He smiled and replied, "Grandpa Lu, you're too kind. I'm unaffected. Please take care of yourself and don't make things too difficult for me."

Putting her phone away, Su Sinian looked up and gazed ahead.

Thinking about what he had to do next, he instructed the driver to go to the new destination.

......

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Lu Zhengyang was still patiently explaining things to his granddaughter.

Lu Ranran pouted, stubbornly insisting, "I want to be Nian Nian's bride!"

"Alright, alright, bride, bride." Lu Zhengyang went along with her, but in his heart he was thinking about how to change the subject. "So if you want to be a bride, shouldn't you first become more outstanding? For example... learn the piano well, and play as well as Niannian?"

Lu Ranran's eyes lit up: "That's right, if Ranran plays the piano as well as Niannian, Niannian will definitely like Ranran even more."

Lu Zhengyang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's right, that's right. So starting today, Grandpa will teach you to play the piano, okay?"

Lu Ranran nodded vigorously, "Okay, Ranran will study hard. Once I've learned it, I'll play it for Brother Niannian so he knows that Ranran is also very good."

The topic of arranged marriages has finally been put on hold for the time being.

Lu Zhengyang shook his head helplessly.

What's going on?

However... if, many years later, these two children really do end up together...

Lu Zhengyang's lips curled up slightly.

That's not bad.

Of course, this is on the premise that Ranran back then still liked her little brother Niannian as much as she does now.

As for now...

Let's just consider it a child's wishful thinking.

......

With Lu Ranran staying with Grandpa Lu, Su Sinian dared not go back to live there anymore.

After leaving Zhiyin Xiaozhu, Su Sinian went directly to the recording studio that Grandpa Lu had arranged for him.

For the next month, he practically lived there, dedicating himself entirely to the production of "Light".

Recording songs during the day, writing new melodies at night, and still researching lyrics translations in different languages ​​late into the night.

After continuous enrichment and improvement, it eventually became a series:

There's the original Chinese version of "Light," the English version of "Light," and a purely instrumental version of "Radiance"...

One month later, the series was officially released.

It started with a small-scale spread, but good music speaks for itself.

In its first week, "Light" reached the top ten on several independent music charts.

In the second week, people used the song in various videos, which went viral on social media, and the song also became popular.

In the third week, it was featured on the homepage of major music platforms, and its play count increased exponentially.

In the fourth week... Su Sinian went out to buy a cup of coffee and could hear his songs playing from the shops on the street.

Su Sinian has become a sensation.

Moreover, this isn't the kind of fleeting internet celebrity fame; it's genuine fame based on the work itself.

The media started asking for interviews, music programs invited him to appear on their shows, and even record companies wanted to sign him, but he politely declined them all.

With Grandpa Lu overseeing him, he chose a freer path as an independent musician.

That afternoon, Su Sinian was resting on a sofa in a coffee shop.

After a month of non-stop work, I can finally take a breather.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed two little girls peeking into his direction from a corner of the café.

The little girl looked about his age, both wearing simple T-shirts and jeans; one had her hair in a ponytail, and the other had long hair.

The two look very alike, almost like they were made from the same mold; they must be twins.

Su Sinian didn't pay much attention. Since he became famous, it was common for him to be recognized outside. Sometimes people would come up to him for autographs and photos, and he would try his best to cooperate.

Sure enough, the two little girls walked towards them together.

The girl with the ponytail spoke first: "Hello, Su Sinian..."

"Hello." Su Sinian nodded, giving a professional smile. "Do you need an autograph?"

The two girls exchanged a glance, and then the girl with long hair suddenly laughed: "Niannian, it's us! Don't you remember us?"

Su Sinian was taken aback.

That voice... sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it.

"What, you really don't remember?" The girl with long hair looked a little disappointed.

Su Sinian carefully examined them.

Two almost identical faces, both delicate and clean-cut, with large eyes.

It does look somewhat familiar.

But I just can't remember.

He shook his head honestly, "I'm sorry, I..."

"You really forgot about us?" The girl with long hair glanced at Su Sinian and pouted unhappily. "We're twins, Daya and Erya! We even did a show together!"

Twins... program...

"What? You are Da Ya and Er Ya?" Su Sinian asked in shock.

He remembered that when the four of them went on the show, they met the twin sisters.

However, the Da Ya and Er Ya he remembered were chubby little girls who only knew how to eat.

Now, the two little girls in front of us, who were slender and tall, have become two beautiful young women.

One had a neat ponytail, exuding a capable and sophisticated aura, while the other had long, flowing hair and a sweet smile, embodying the quintessential cute type.

"How...how did you all lose so much weight?" Su Sinian couldn't help but ask, "In my memory you were..."

"But what?" his sister asked warily. "But you're a chubby girl, aren't you? We've been on a diet!"

The older sister added, "In order to dance, we don't touch the delicious food we see. Although we are very tempted, we have to resist it, also so that we can be more agile when dancing."

The younger sister leaned forward, blinked her big eyes, and asked, "Do you think we're pretty?"

Su Sinian nodded honestly: "Beautiful, but the change is so great that I didn't recognize you at first."

"It's okay." The younger sister waved her hand, but then remembered something and said seriously, "By the way, we're not called Daya and Erya anymore. Those were our childhood nicknames. Now we have official names."

She straightened her back and introduced herself in a serious manner: "My name is Shen Huanxi, Huan as in joy, and Xi as in happiness."

The older sister next to her also spoke up: "My name is Shen Qingyou, Qing as in clear water, and You as in pomelo."
