"The Shining Us" is the third original campus novel in the "Moving Forward" series. It uses music students from an art school as the background of the story and has a complete narrative in three volumes: high school, college, and the rest of life.
In the piano room of the art building of the first grade of high school, Shen Yubai's piano harmonized with Lin Zhixia's zheng music next door, and a heartbeat that no one knew about quietly sprouted. Throughout the senior year preparation season, the two of them worked hard to prepare for the unified entrance examination. Mint candies and hot soy milk were silent encouragement to each other. They coincidentally filled in the application columns for the same art school, hiding their unspoken destination.
When they reunited with their classmates in college, they had a tacit understanding in chorus and dance elective courses, but the gap in the comprehensive test rankings made Shen Yu shrink back step by step. He secretly prepared anti-swelling ointment, spent two years writing his own ensemble, and locked his heart in the piano score; Lin Zhixia silently paid attention to his voice and waited for him to practice the piano. All encounters were deliberately awaited.
Pulling, testing, and restraint run through the four years of school. The graduation performance of "The Shining Us" ("I Like" and "Like") expresses seven years of thoughts. The young man finally reveals his long-term secret love, and his two-way love breaks through all shyness.
The story does not stop at the campus confession, but extends to the two's daily life after graduation and opening a music studio together, from school uniforms to fireworks for the rest of their lives. The full text uses the zither as the carrier to describe the delicate and tenderness unique to art students. All unexpected encounters are the long-planned rush of two people.
Purpose: Focus on the delicate two-way secret love of introverted teenagers and girls, interpret the low self-esteem, timidity and tender preference hidden in the details in adolescence, and tell readers that the true heart will not be blocked by distance or gap; use music students' preparation for exams, campus competitions, and professional learning as real carriers to show the pure and passionate youth struggle of art students; interpret the core of love of "two-way rush": heartbeat is never a one-sided pursuit, long-term mutual thinking and silent companionship are the emotional background; It conveys the positive values of growth, healing and steady progress, echoing the core of the "Move Forward" series - bravely face your heart, grow slowly, and eventually stay side by side with your own light.
