other, Sunny actually turned her head and looked at him, opening her mouth to say:"Ji Jingyuan"Ji Jingyuan was taken aback and quickly replied, "Yes, Senior, I'm Ji Jingyuan" 。"You..." Sunny pondere...A smile still lingered between his brows and the corner of his lips. He had only intended to glance around at the sound, but unexpectedly, as soon as Chi Jingyuan lifted his head, his gaze met Zhou Tzuyu's. Their eyes clashed under the moonlight.

Brown, shoulder-length hair, a striped short sleeve with cartoon patterns looked somewhat childish. Below the denim shorts were two rounded thighs together, but in the slightly dim lighting it was hard to see clearly.

Overall, there's nothing particularly special about her. She's just a pretty girl.

Only her pair of round, clear eyes were particularly striking. They reflected the moonlight, rippling like water, seemingly telling a story. And Chi Jingyuan seemed to still be able to see his own reflection within them.

He just seemed to freeze for a moment, seemingly unable to react at first glance at these familiar faces. The hand that was absentmindedly playing with his hair stopped mid-gesture.

Besides that, he also caught the eye of Minami Nagai standing beside him. This girl seemed to be secretly sizing him up as well. There was a glimmer in both their eyes, as if they had seen something breathtaking.

His gaze quickly swept around, taking in the faces of several other girls as well as Park Jin-young's face at the front.

That's just Jingyuan, I wouldn't bother introducing anyone else.

Even with her back turned, Lee Ji-eun was still responding to what Ji-seong had just said. She waved her hand dismissively, looking quite proud and dignified as the top female solo artist she is. Then, possibly to avoid any misunderstanding from Ji-seong, she added in a serious tone, “It’s not really anything else, it's mainly about making friends, besides…”

As she was talking, she also heard footsteps stopping behind her. She turned around and saw Park Jin-young's smiling face, and behind him, a line of Tisosexy">Best…"

But after considering for a few seconds, she answered resolutely, "However, my favorite is *The Attic*."

Even over the phone, Chi Jingyuan could feel this girl's seriousness about her reply. It seemed like he could picture her biting her lip and making a stubborn expression right in front of him.

However, hearing someone say those words in such a soft voice is actually kind of cute.

But when they mentioned the song "The House on the Hill", both fell silent, not saying a word.

The real night wind outside brushed against Chi Jingyuan's cheeks. He looked at the cars rushing past on the distant road, pursed his lips, and listened to the breathing sound coming from his phone.

He felt that Zhou Tzuyu was a little conflicted and also a little timid.

After a while, she tentatively asked, "The name 'Tower Room' and some of the lyrics, are they based on that night..."

"Yeah, it's obvious," Chi Jingyuan didn't deny it at all: "The inspiration for this song came from that night. I wrote the rest of it in the following days."

"Hmm..."

Chou Tzu-yu nodded lightly upon hearing this, and once again fell silent.

She actually didn't want to ask that. The song title and these lyrics were pretty clear, she knew it the moment she saw them, there was no need to ask.

What she really wanted to ask was…

After another moment of silence, she took a deep breath and spoke in a soft, slightly hesitant voice:

It seemed that Chi Jingyuan could even hear the sound of someone swallowing nervously.

"As for the rest of the lyrics in that song, they are..."

Is this written for me Are those lyrics about me

She wanted to ask this, but she only managed to say the beginning. The rest was too hard for her to bring herself to speak.

“…………”

Finally, the entire set arrived. Ji Jingyuan couldn't help but pause, this time he didn't speak directly.

He had already anticipated receiving a text message from Zhou Tzuyu or a phone call from her in the evening.

When Ji Jingyuan met Zhou Tzuyu in the evening, he already sensed that after watching the performance of "House on the Roof," Zhou Tzuyu might have experienced some complex emotions and emotional fluctuations.

Of course, it's also possible that these emotions and feelings have always been there, but only today were they elevated and triggered.

Just as someone had told him many times before: “Girls tend to mature earlier, it’s normal for them to have crushes in their teens, don't always treat people like children!”

As expected of a senior from the previous year, your words came true.

However, for Chi Jingyuan, this shift still felt somewhat sudden.

If he had developed feelings for another female idol, he probably wouldn't overthink it so much. He would either politely refuse or seize the opportunity to get closer without much hesitation.

But Tzuyu's words... were indeed a little different.

Moreover, even if Chi Jingyuan responded, it wouldn't be suitable for Zhou Tzuyu's current situation. Her age is a significant factor, as she is still quite young, and she has just received her debut opportunity, preparing to take her first step in her career.

He was still considering how to placate her, or perhaps send her away for some proper training, focusing on preparing for her debut.

The moment I picked up the phone and heard the other person's voice, for some reason, I suddenly changed my mind.

All the arguments I had planned were discarded outright.

Just say whatever comes to mind, let things take their course.

He sighed inwardly, listening to the slightly hurried breathing beside him. After a moment's pause, his voice turned serious as he spoke, "No..."

"Beep beep beep..."

Just as he opened his mouth to speak a word, a busy tone suddenly rang in his ear.

Zhou Tzuyu hung up the phone herself.

He picked up his phone and stared at the screen, which showed a call that had already ended. For a moment, he was stunned and couldn't quite process what had just happened.

The sound of a waitress in high heels clicking down the hallway came from behind, accompanied by loud and boisterous noises emanating from the private room. When he came to his senses, Chi Jingyuan's expression remained calm, perhaps he hadn't figured it out, or maybe he had understood something.

He didn't say anything, nor did he go back directly to the private room to continue eating. Instead, he opened the window in front of him a little wider, let out a forceful breath, and tilted his head slightly, gazing at the sky.

……

While on the balcony of her Tcie dorm, Tzuyu stared at the phone she had broken in her hand. She glared at the contact name on the screen and gave it a sly little wrinkle of her nose.

>

Cut it out, I still don't know what you're going to say

"Subin, did you watch too many TV dramas"

"Can Zhou Tzuyu mature a little Why does she act like a child"

"No, I'm sorry..."

Besides denying, one might also casually make some unserious jokes to get past it.

Don't I know you yet

I know you best!

Chou Tzu-yu thought to herself with a bit of pride.

But these rising small emotions, as she stared at her phone screen, gradually dissipated with her growing daze.

The sound of cicadas seemed especially noisy at this moment. Even though the summer night had cooled down considerably, she felt a bit stuffy and uncomfortable.

I don't know how long it had been, Zhou Tzuyu held her phone lightly and walked to the edge of the balcony railing. Her lips moved softly, gently biting her small canine teeth. Her bright eyes were staring blankly at the sky at this moment.

Actually, I knew that wasn't the case without you saying anything.

When I first saw the stage, I was really moved. When I saw the song title and the beginning, I truly thought it was written for me.

But when I saw those words later, I knew it wasn't right.

Because I know, you wouldn't say such straightforward and passionate words to me.

He only acts like he's teasing children all day, talking about face masks and skin care.

Then you say I'm childish, huh

The past two years might have been a little bit, but when we first met, EXO wasn't popular yet.

And now

Now I've grown up a lot, okay

What a fool! Always judging people with old eyes...

If it were in the past, no matter how you answered, it wouldn't matter. Even if you directly told me no, it wouldn't be a big deal. Maybe I was just being stubborn and in a bad mood. I could probably sleep it off.

But…

Feeling a tangle of complex emotions in her heart, Zhou Tzuyu let out a soft sigh.

She gazed out at the night sky, devoid of stars, with only a solitary moon hanging there forlornly. It seemed desolate and lonely, yet a playful curve touched her lips as she let out a soft chuckle. Her deep eyes reflected the glittering darkness of the night and the diffused glow of the pale moon.

But today, right now, at this very moment...

I really hope that's true...

Under the same vast sky, two people in different locations were, at the same time, admiring the same moon and the same starless night.
