Chapter 328: 346, A good meal is worth waiting for.
Tong Xi glanced around the audition hall, and indeed there were many musical instruments arranged: pianos, accordions, guzhengs, erhus, suonas, trombones, and even a drum set!
However, she didn’t choose any of those, but instead turned and walked to the corner of the room, plucked a leaf from a potted plant, placed the leaf flat against her lips, slightly parted her right index and middle fingers to support the back of the leaf, and used her thumb to hold the lower edge of the leaf, then gently started to play it.
That instant, not only was Quentin stunned, but Shen Yunqing sitting behind the glass wall was also frozen in shock.
She actually chose to do it this way?
With her lips slightly pursed, a vivid green leaf resting on her tender lips, the sight of her red lips and the green leaf deeply impacted everyone.
Soon, a beautiful yet sorrowful melody began to play.
It was—"Butterfly Lovers"!
In the West, there are love stories like Romeo and Juliet, Cleopatra and Antony, Odysseus and Penelope, while in China, there are stories of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Meng Jiangnu and Fan Xiliang, the Legend of the White Snake, and especially Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
The tragic love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai has been heralded as an eternal masterpiece of love, with the "Butterfly Lovers" resonating through the ages.
Now, Tong Xi, using only a leaf, played "Butterfly Lovers" in such a refreshing manner that even Quentin was incredibly impressed.
She didn’t confine herself to the existing instruments but instead blazed her own trail, expressing herself in this unique manner to portray her understanding of love.
Such a bright and spirited girl, truly one of a kind!
Shen Yunqing sat behind the glass wall, his gaze fixed intently on Tong Xi.
This kind of girl... if she were to fall in love with a man, what kind of breathtaking and stirring love story would it be?

At that time, people waiting outside also heard the lingering, mournful "Butterfly Lovers" from inside.
The sound was unlike any regular musical instrument! However, the melody was so touching that it felt heart-wrenching, sorrowful.
He Yunzhi felt her whole body stiffen.
Although she had lost hope, Tong Xi had been inside for a significant amount of time, even beginning to showcase her skills.
It was notable that several girls before hadn’t even had the chance to show their skills before being sent out.
That means... does Tong Xi still have a chance?

The captivating melody finally stopped, and Tong Xi removed the leaf from her lips, her pure gaze focusing on Quentin who was visibly excited, his blue eyes filled with brilliant light.
He strode forward, grasped Tong Xi’s hand, his lips quivering, and even his goatee was trembling.
"Fantastic! Tong Xi, it’s you!"
At that moment, Shen Yunqing leisurely sat in the big chair, resting his chin in his hand, watching the scene unfold from behind the glass wall, a hint of a smile on his enchanting face and his deep, peach blossom eyes twinkling.
Little Chili, not bad!
Shen Yunqing put on headphones and through the microphone said to Quentin, "Congratulations! You’ve finally found the leading lady you were satisfied with!"
Quentin laughed heartily.
"This really lives up to that Chinese saying, good things come to those who wait!"
Tong Xi was momentarily confused. Director Quentin... who is he talking to?
But, these were not her concerns to worry about; after all, she had unexpectedly landed the perfume endorsement, something she had never dreamed of.
Mm-hmm, Yunzhi must be thrilled to hear this news!
Also, she must share this good news with Xiaoyu after she steps out!
