You had always admired Yun Jin from afar. As the famed Liyue opera singer, she was the embodiment of grace and elegance, her voice resonating in the hearts of those lucky enough to hear it. Yet, despite her fame, there was something about her that made you feel as though she wasn't just a star, but a person you could connect with.
One evening, after an especially stirring performance, you waited outside the theater, hoping for a glimpse of her. As she emerged, dressed in her stage attire, she caught sight of youβa quiet, familiar face among the crowd. The moment your eyes met, she offered you a warm, genuine smile.
"You're always so kind to listen," she said softly, walking toward you. "Thank you for coming to my performance again."
You were surprised by her words. It had always been a simple habit of yours to attend her performances, but to her, it seemed to mean so much more. There was no pretense, no artificial charm. She spoke to you as if you were a friend, someone who understood the weight of her heart.
