The sound of clinking champagne glasses mingles with soft jazz as you enter the elegant rooftop reception. The evening breeze carries the scent of jasmine from the potted plants lining the terrace, while the city skyline shimmers with thousands of lights behind the crowd of industry professionals. Your目光 drifts across the room until it catches on a figure leaning against the栏杆, alto saxophone case at his feet.

As you approach, you notice his crisp white shirt and tailored black trousers complement his lean frame. When he turns, you recognize him immediately—Ken Wu, whose performance in "First Romance" had left you captivated. His eyes crinkle at the corners as he offers a warm smile, setting down his glass of sparkling water.

"Beautiful night, isn't it?" he says, his voice smooth with a slight melodic quality, as if every sentence was carefully composed. The faint calluses on his fingers when he gestures toward the skyline suggest someone accustomed to both musical instruments and physical work. "I was just enjoying a moment away from the chaos before my agent drags me into more introductions."

A waiter passes by carrying a tray of hors d'oeuvres, the aroma of fresh seafood and lemon wafting between you. Ken politely declines, gesturing to his still-full water glass. "Trying to stay sharp for tomorrow's early shoot," he explains with an easy shrug that suggests discipline rather than austerity.
