"Love, only occupies a very, very small part of life."
"In this world, there are many things much more important than falling in love."
were told to Xu Yong by a good brother of his, a few days ago, on a sunny, perfect afternoon.
About this good brother, there’s a lot to say.
That year, just starting high school.
Xu Yong sat at the last row in the classroom, and that guy named Lin Tian, became his desk-mate, sitting by the window.
From the first glance at Lin Tian, Xu Yong knew.
That he and this guy with a perpetual stern face, who seemed uncommunicative...
Definitely couldn’t get along.
But when Xu Yong once secretly ate Lin Tian’s takeout, got caught, and Lin Tian instantly turned into a hunter, verbally slaughtering his entire family lineage in three seconds flat, and declared his desire to personally taste Xu Yong’s mother’s tribute—
Xu Yong was moved to tears.
He immediately knew, Lin Tian was his long-lost brother from another father and mother...
Though Xu Yong often cursed Lin Tian as horse-less, deep down, he truly admired his good buddy.
Determined in his pursuits, he always strived to achieve them.
As a kind of "orphan," he relied on his own will, his grades were top-notch, he even worked part-time to support himself, making it to where he is today.
So sometimes when Xu Yong cursed him for lacking a horse, it was actually the highest recognition for Lin Tian.
And just , a good brother whom Xu Yong had admired for two and a half years, spoke such words.
Those words pierced Xu Yong’s heart sharply.
In this world, there are so many things more important than love!
All this time, Xu Yong, who felt he couldn’t live without women, was always hesitating, always confused...
Reflecting on his high school life these past few years.
It seemed, his mind was filled with nothing but women.
What he reminisced wasn’t the gossips about pretty junior schoolgirls, it was the beauty rankings of girls from every class in the grade.
Sometimes he thought.
Shouldn’t going to school be the essential path to personal growth, acquiring knowledge and skills, cultivating a sense of social responsibility, and fostering a spirit of innovation? It concerns not only an individual’s future but also carries the expectations and responsibilities society places on the younger generation, doesn’t it?!
Thinking this, Xu Yong felt ashamed.
No wonder, Lin Tian was always so outstanding.
While his head was still filled with women and romance, Lin Tian had the world in his mind.
Maybe, he really couldn’t keep going on ...
After seriously pondering, Xu Yong turned off the computer.
Then he threw away the used tissue.
It’s always at times like these that people start pondering some profound questions and then come to understand certain things.
Just now online, Xu Yong suddenly remembered the girl who haunted his dreams.
After finishing, Xu Yong realized he was still thinking about her.
Turns out, he simply missed her...
This time, Xu Yong was serious.
Lin Tian was right, all that love crap can just go to hell!
Turning on the table lamp,
Xu Yong proceeded to the pre-sleep Douyin scrolling session.
The videos that usually made him and his brother sick, he swiped them all away.
He planned to find a movie review to watch.
Preferably one of those stories where a handsome guy and a pretty girl go on an adventure, defeat monsters, sacrifice Sang Biao, and then the handsome guy gets the girl in a no-brainer yet slightly thrilling tale.
Just right for a bedtime story.
While he was thinking this.
A video caught his eye.
"2.03 million likes?"
Such a high amount of likes, surely he’s not the last one to see it?
Xu Yong was somewhat puzzled, he continued to watch.
In the video, a piano and a cello were set up, a man and a woman sat in front of the camera.
You couldn’t see their faces, but they seemed to be preparing to play a piece.
"So la ti do la, mi fa so la ti~"
"Do ti mi fa so, la ti do ti mi~"
The girl hummed a melody... and really, the voice was very pleasant, sweet.
And then the guy, seemed to be teaching the girl how to hum:
"Here, I am a banana, banana, banana, banana, banana~"
Why does it sound familiar?
Since Xu Yong was still a high school student and afraid that his parents in the next room would find out he was not asleep, he kept the volume of his phone quite low, so he couldn’t hear very clearly.
By the time Xu Yong realized what was happening and slowly turned up the volume on his phone...
The boy had already started playing.
Amidst the lively piano music, a boy and a girl swayed to the rhythm, happily singing along.
"Come on, I am a pineapple, pine-pine-pine-pine-pineapple~"
"La la, la la la la~~"
What a bizarre video!
It seems... quite amusing?
Because the sound of the piano was so loud, their voices weren’t very clear.
But this kind of happy blur, soaked in music, was very appealing.
Xu Yong turned over in his bed.
The piece was called "Kangkang Dance Music," and because he didn’t like it, he had previously marked all videos with this song as "Not Interested," so he had never watched the original video and hardly ever came across it.
This was the first time he’d listened to the song in its entirety.
As soon as this song started, with the video,
He suddenly imagined a happy little couple.... creating music in their rented room’s cozy little daily life.....
The boy pretended to be angry and tapped the girl’s head.
"Silly, you’re not on beat! That’s not how you should sing it!"
"Ah... then I’ll be a pineapple too."
"Pine-pine-pine-pine-pineapple..."
"Right, you be the pineapple, and I’ll be the big banana."
Xu Yong excitedly turned over in bed several times!
How goofy, these two.
How can they be so sweet?!
This adorable couple was just too cute!!
Just listening to their performance, Xu Yong started chuckling like a fool.
Projecting himself into it...
Xu Yong had already let out a "heh heh heh...." goofy laugh.
Rolling around on his bed like a carp...
Who wouldn’t want such a sweet love?
However, at that moment.
The famous saying of his good brother Lin Tian once again surfaced in his mind.
The smiling face suddenly froze.
How could he be falling for it again!
Xu Yong immediately pinched himself.
Hadn’t he resolved to listen to Lin Tian’s advice and from now on, stop thinking about love?!
Lin Tian’s thought process was so many dimensions above his own, and here he was thinking about sweetness!
Xu Yong gritted his teeth.
He reluctantly glanced at the video again.
It really was beautiful...
Who wouldn’t yearn for sweet love?
Alas, what a pity that he could no longer watch.
He couldn’t remain Mouse-man forever.
He shifted his gaze to the author’s name of the video.
Xu Yong racked his brains... Finally, he remembered.
"Isn’t this damn Lin Tian?!"
Xu Yong woke up from his dream, took another look, and the more he looked at the people in the video, the more familiar they became....
Isn’t this damn Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu?!
Telling himself love isn’t important.
So, you’re having a blast here, huh?!
Xu Yong, who was just excitedly rolling on the bed a moment ago, was now... heartbrokenly pounding the bed, more upset than if he had been killed!
"Lin Tian, I f%&...#&%￥#!!"
"You’re really to die for!!!"
