"She is the moonlight flowing through my fingertips, a piece of music that I dared not touch until that rainy night - she pressed the keys for me with her own hands and played the chords of love."
Liang Zhehan's secret love is a silent solo.
Su Wanyu - her music teacher, fifteen years older than her, is like a nocturne that is always separated by a layer of mist. The tips of her hair that fell when she played Chopin, the corners of her lips that raised slightly when she explained music theory, the faint smell of perfume left on the paper when she graded homework... All became the most secret collection in Liang Zhehan's heart.
"How could she belong to me?"
In the piano room, Liang Zhehan practiced "Dream Wedding" over and over again, but never dared to finish the last measure - just like the love she could never express.
Until that rainy night.
Liang Zhehan saw Su Wanyu standing alone under the street lamp in the rain curtain, and the rain slid down her outline, like a wet lyric poem.
"Teacher Su..."
The moment the umbrella tilted, the two hearts began to resonate at the same frequency.
"I heard you are getting married?"
Su Wanyu turned her head, water drops falling from her eyelashes, but she opened a smile that made Liang Zhehan's heart stop:
"We broke up today."
"Because..." **Her fingertips gently brushed Liang Zhehan's hair that was wet by the rain, "I found that I have been waiting for someone."
"Waiting for someone who will peek at me in the piano room."
"Waiting for someone who will treasure all my comments."
"Wait a minute..."
The sound of rain suddenly faded away, leaving only the faint scent of jasmine on Su Wanyu's body as she approached.
"Now, I finally waited until she held an umbrella for me."
Liang Zhehan's tears fell mixed with the rain, and he held Su Wanyu's face with his trembling hands:
"Can I... Kiss my teacher?"
Su Wanyu closed her eyes and answered softly amidst the sound of rain:
"You can kiss your lover."
