Xiao Ting stood to the side, her eyes wide with wonder and admiration, holding a bouquet of flowers prepared for Lin Xiao Yu. The vibrant petals glistened with droplets of water, reflecting her current excitement and clarity of heart. "Lin Xiao Yu, you are simply stunning!" Xiao Ting couldn't help but exclaim. "Your dance is as light as a fairy floating on clouds, perfectly showcasing the essence of your performance. I was completely mesmerized, feeling my heart dance along with your every step. This honor is truly well-deserved, a testament to your hard work and dedication!" As she spoke, she hugged the flowers tighter, eager to rush on stage and personally present her congratulations to Lin Xiao Yu, sharing in her glory and joy. 0
 
The applause and cheers surged through the venue like waves, and Lu Zean's heart was filled with the radiant presence of Lin Xiao Yu on stage. Unable to wait any longer, he pushed through the crowd and strode towards the backstage area. 0
 
Backstage was bustling with activity; staff members hurried about while performers chatted excitedly or touched up their makeup. Amidst the commotion, Lu Zean eagerly searched for that familiar graceful figure. He quickly approached, holding a carefully selected bouquet of vibrant red roses surrounded by delicate Baby's Breath, their fragrance mirroring his overflowing affection as he presented them to Lin Xiao Yu. 0
 
"Lin Xiao Yu, you were amazing, truly!" Lu Zean's voice trembled slightly with uncontainable excitement as his gaze fixed on her face, wanting to etch this moment into his memory. "This is the honor you deserve; I knew that once you stepped onto that stage, your brilliance would shine through." Lin Xiao Yu was momentarily taken aback but soon her eyes sparkled with surprise and gratitude as she accepted the flowers. She inhaled their subtle fragrance, her cheeks flushing with joy like clouds at dusk. "Thank you, Lu Zean. With you supporting me from the audience, I feel so grounded." 0
 
Once Lin Xiao Yu had gathered her competition attire and props and freshened up her makeup, the two walked side by side out of the backstage area and into the campus of Shanghai Theatre Academy. The night had quietly descended, and the moonlight spilled gently over the winding paths and ancient buildings of the campus like a soft veil. The streetlights cast a warm golden glow that stretched their shadows long and short. 0
 
Lu Zean wrapped his arm around Lin Xiao Yu's shoulders, pulling her closer with a smile full of affection. "That competition had me so nervous! I worried you'd be too tired to perform well while hoping you'd showcase your best self. Thankfully, you were incredible!" Lin Xiao Yu looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with playfulness and sweetness. "I practiced for so long; I couldn't afford to mess up! But knowing you were thinking of me and supporting me gave me confidence." 0
 
They strolled along the lakeside where the moonlight caressed the shimmering water, reflecting the willow trees on the shore and the stars above like a flowing ink painting. Occasionally, a gentle breeze would rustle through the branches, providing a soft accompaniment to their whispers. Lu Zean stopped walking and turned to face Lin Xiao Yu, holding her shoulders firmly as he said earnestly, "I'm not saying this just because you won first place; it's your persistence and pure love for dance that I truly admire. I'm so lucky to be by your side as you step onto bigger stages." 0
 
Lin Xiao Yu's eyes glistened with unshed tears as she nodded in agreement. "I feel fortunate to have you too; no matter how tough it gets, it always feels worth it." 0
 
As they continued walking past the Training Room where a few lights still shone inside and faint music echoed from dance practice, Lin Xiao Yu's gaze turned nostalgic. "From stumbling through basic training here to standing on that competition stage receiving awards feels like a dream—just hard work making that dream a reality." Lu Zean tightened his grip on her hand, offering strength and affirmation. "There are even more dreams waiting for you to chase after; I'll always be right here beside you." 0
 
Before they knew it, they had wandered deep into a secluded corner of a tranquil garden on campus. The surroundings were so quiet it felt as if time had stopped; only the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze broke the silence like a soft nocturne played by nature itself. The moonlight fell like silver frost through the lush branches above, casting dappled patterns of light that resembled mysterious totems across the ground and onto them. 0
 
Lu Zean gazed at Lin Xiao Yu, his eyes filled with love and admiration that burned like an ever-growing flame—intense enough to melt anyone's heart. His breathing quickened slightly as his chest rose and fell in rhythm with his excitement. Slowly raising his trembling hands filled with emotion he could hardly contain, he gently cupped Lin Xiao Yu's face in his palms, his fingers brushing against her delicate skin as if trying to convey all his deep feelings through this tender touch. 0
 
Lin Xiao Yu looked up at him; her own eyes mirrored an overwhelming affection that seemed inseparable from her being. Her cheeks flushed with nervous anticipation like the most vibrant petals in springtime; her lips parted slightly as she exhaled softly—a breath laced with sweetness that silently expressed all her longing. 0
 
Lu Zean locked onto Lin Xiao Yu's gaze for a moment before suddenly tightening his embrace around her waist as if wanting to pull her into his very life. He leaned down until their noses touched; their warm breaths intertwined in an intimate dance while their heartbeats quickened in unison—nervous yet eager. Then he tilted his head slightly; his lips pressed against hers with urgency and possessiveness. 0
 
At first merely brushing against each other’s lips, but in an instant that kiss deepened—Lu Zean’s lips moved against Lin Xiao Yu’s in a passionate rhythm filled with long-held admiration, worry, pride, and affection. His tongue ventured forth gently tracing her lips which made Lin Xiao Yu shiver slightly as they shared this fervent moment. 0
 
Lin Xiao Yu responded eagerly; wrapping her arms around Lu Zean's neck while instinctively gripping his hair to pull herself closer to him. Her body trembled slightly under this heated kiss as she surrendered completely to this overwhelming love—their every response infused with deep emotion and longing. 0
 
They lost track of time entirely amidst their embrace; forgetting everything around them under the witness of moonlight and nightfall—allowing their love to flow freely within this small world until both found themselves breathless from passion. Finally parting slowly while resting their foreheads together, their eyes met filled with tenderness and sweetness—as if they existed solely for each other in that moment—with hopes of walking together through all their days ahead. 0
