Chapter 328: 166. School Trip (15)

Dubian Che tucked the reed into his mouth and tried playing a short phrase.

The unfamiliar oboe quickly became an extension of him.

"I’m fine now," he said, removing the reed from his mouth.

The members of the Yunbei Wind Ensemble watched him with shining eyes, except for Kito Chiri sitting next to him. She was staring into space with a contemplative look in her eyes.

"Please play another piece!" Chisako firmly requested.

The sheer beauty of the simple scales was impressive, and in the hands of a skilled player, they truly were magnificent.

"Aren’t we supposed to be playing an ensemble?" Dubian Che said.

"It’s okay!" A petite girl with her fists clenched and her tiptoes on the ground shouted enthusiastically.

Dubian Che was startled by her fervor and thought for a moment, "Well, a short piece should be fine for now."

A few basic exercises spread slowly from the oboe, producing a heart-fluttering, goosebump-inducing timbre that penetrated the entire music room.

Chisako listened silently, her heart drifting away with the music.

The performance ended quickly, and the members of the Wind Instrument Club were not only impressed but also rendered speechless.

It was the same piece, but for some reason, every note released by Dubian Che was more splendid than those of anyone else, proving irresistible to the listeners.

Chisako thought that this was what made music interesting and at the same time felt intimidated by the fact, realizing it took courage to face the enormous gap between herself and others.

"Right!" Chisako suddenly had a bright idea, "Why not connect to the school’s PA system during the ensemble? Let all the students listen together!"

"Agreed!"

"And it’s just in time for lunch break!"

"But I’m going to be nervous... Ah! No, no! My brain is already getting confused! Where’s the music sheet?! The music sheet?!"

Reactions from the group varied, but most supported the idea.

After Minister You Zi gave a firm nod of agreement, Chisako looked towards Kiyono Lin and Dubian Che, hoping for their consent.

"No problem, a true performance is only revealed in front of an audience," Kiyono Lin agreed with a nod.

"And what about you, Dubian? It’s definitely okay, right?" Chisako demanded in a fierce tone that brooked no disagreement.

"Are you sure you want this?" Dubian Che hesitated, "After seeing me, everyone in Yunbei will fall in love with me a hundred percent, but after hearing my performance, it’ll be a thousand percent."

"What kind of weird percentage is that? Just say whether you agree or not!" Sahui replied irritably.

"I suggest you speak more politely; I’m your only fan, and you should beware I might unfollow you."

"You..." Sahui had never met such a shameless guy and was too angry to speak.

"Dubian Che," Kiyono Lin said while massaging her temples, which were starting to throb, "don’t waste my time."

"Okay, I’m fine now. Let’s start," Dubian Che responded crisply.

Once everyone was ready and tuned, the new vice-minister—a girl named Nakagawa Natsumi—connected the music room to the school’s PA system.

"Hello, hello, sorry to disturb everyone; this is the Wind Instrument Club. Today we have invited national gold medal-winning conductors and oboe players for an exchange..."

While the vice-minister communicated with the whole school through the microphone, Dubian Che and Chisako also whispered amongst themselves.

"How’s your practice with the notes I gave you?"

"I’ll definitely surprise you!" Chisako replied with high spirits, "Your senior is really incredible!"

"Pretty incredible," Dubian Che responded perfunctorily, "don’t let me down, okay? I’ll keep an ear out for the tenor horn."

"Let’s not," Chisako said seriously, "focus on playing your own part!"

For now, she had nothing more to show off than her ’efforts not to be outdone by others.’ As for her playing level, please wait until next year!

She’ll definitely surprise this guy Dubian and have him obediently call her "Sister Chisako!"

"...that’s all. Please listen to the Wind Instrument Club’s noon ensemble, ’Three-Moon Dance’!" After the vice-minister finished communicating, the two also ended their conversation.

Kiyono Lin surveyed the ensemble, slowly raised her baton.

"Hoo—"

The uniform sound of breathing echoed through the PA system, reaching every corridor and room in Yunbei.

In the office, teachers put aside their work; in the classrooms, students stopped chatting; even the boys playing basketball on the playground paused their shots.

Silence dominated Yunbei at that moment.

The next instant, the trumpet’s main melody erupted.

******

In the third-year classroom, Tanaka Asuka ate her sandwich while listening to the ensemble on the radio.

The notes were precise and pure, indicating that even after her departure from the club, they hadn’t wasted any time.

"You’re amazing, Asuka!" a close female classmate in the room praised.

"Humph, they’re my trained juniors after all!" Tanaka Asuka proudly took a sip of her milk.

"With such a level, you didn’t win national gold?"

Tanaka Asuka put down her milk and said with a wry smile, "The national competition is full of monsters, especially..."

As the classroom gradually grew noisy again, it suddenly quietened down.

The melody, akin to a gospel singer, resonated like a divine sigh from God, the sun itself seemed to resonate, becoming more sacred.

"What is that?" a classmate asked in surprise, "Is it a computer-composed piece?"

Tanaka Asuka shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "That’s the level of a national gold oboe player."

"Liar! How could it sound so good?"

"Ha ha ha, of course, I’m joking. If everyone were..."

"Look outside!" a boy by the window shouted.

Everyone instinctively looked out the window, eyes widening, mouths gaping, faces filled with disbelief.
