On the day of the opening ceremony, when she was there as the female lead, Ling Qiran was especially nervous. She didn't know whether it was because a dream she'd had for years was finally coming true, or because of the male lead she was acting alongside.
His name was Qi Yushen. He was a popular movie star, her classmate in their first year of high school, and the shining star she could see whenever she looked up.

The crew had Ling Qiran stand beside Qi Yushen and asked them to act as if they were very familiar, even intimate. Ling Qiran didn't know what to say, so she just smiled at him, a polite smile.
Qi Yushen smiled too. Then he slowly leaned toward her, lowering his head to whisper in her ear, "Ling Qiran, we were classmates for a whole year in our first year of high school. Have you really forgotten?"
"Qi Yushen, I haven't forgotten. Not ever." At that moment, Ling Qiran's heart pounded fiercely.
Just like that midsummer day, and that flutter in her heart.
Ling Qiran looked up and met his eyes.
Like the bright, beautiful moon she'd once drawn by hand on a sheet of paper.
