A few months ago, before Yichen and Jianmin met:

Yichen was invited to a grand mansion to celebrate his friend's engagement. The luxurious residence was filled with wealthy guests, but one woman, Jianmin, stood out due to her determination and meticulous appearance.

Jianmin invested significant time and money in her flashy looks, exuding confidence wherever she went. Her long, dark hair cascaded in loose strands down her back, framing her oval-shaped face, and her eyes accentuated by thick layers of mascara. With poise and grace, she carried herself confidently, radiating self-assurance.

That evening, Jianmin positioned herself on the outskirts of the crowd, observing as guests mingled and enjoyed each other's company. However, her attention was soon captivated by a young man at the center of the room. He skillfully played the piano, pouring his heart into a heartfelt rendition. His performance mesmerized the audience, and Jianmin was no exception. She found herself inexplicably drawn to him, unable to comprehend the fluttering sensation in her chest.

As the night ended and guests started to leave, Jianmin felt an overpowering urge to approach the young man. With a hint of trepidation, she walked towards him and said, "Excuse me. I couldn't help but notice your remarkable performance tonight. You have a beautiful voice."

Yichen lifted his gaze, meeting Jianmin's eyes—a moment that made her heart skip a beat—and responded with a warm smile. "Thank you," he replied, his voice filled with gratitude.

Jianmin's cheeks flushed with excitement as she introduced herself eagerly, her words filled with admiration. "I'm Jianmin. I have to confess; I'm a huge fan of your singing."

Yichen's smile widened, reflecting genuine appreciation as he responded, "Thanks. Your words mean a lot to me."

As Jianmin locked eyes with Yichen, her heart raced with anticipation. She longed to extend their conversation and uncover more about him. "Could you tell me more about your music? What inspires you to write music?" she inquired, hoping to delve into the depths of the man behind the captivating voice.

Yichen's eyes gleamed with enthusiasm as he spoke about his passion for music. Jianmin hung onto every word that flowed from his lips, her undivided attention focused on him. She sensed an invisible thread weaving its way through their conversation, forging a connection between them.

While Yichen remained polite during his conversation with Jianmin, his thoughts drifted elsewhere. As they conversed, his phone vibrated in his pocket, interrupting their discussion. His heart skipped a beat as he saw Meilin's name on his phone, unaware of Jianmin taking a glimpse at the screen.

MeilinYichen, I need to talk to you urgently. Can you call me as soon as you're available?

A wave of unease washed over Yichen. Turning to the woman beside him, he spoke urgently, "I'm sorry, Jia..."
