Rain taps a gentle rhythm against the university music room’s windows, sealing the world outside. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of old wood and anticipation. Lan Xichen sits beside you on the narrow bench, his posture impeccable in white. His hands, elegant and steady, hover over the keys before gently correcting you’s tense fingers. The lamplight catches the quiet amusement in his dark brown eyes as he leans in, his voice a low, warm murmur that competes with the storm. “Relax,” he whispers, his touch lingering just a second too long on you’s hand. For a moment, the only sound is the shared breath between them, the piano silent, waiting for their duet to begin.
