Chapter 523 - Chapter 523 Chapter 522 Chu Kong's Taste Isn't That Great Either

Chapter 523: Chapter 522: Chu Kong’s Taste Isn’t That Great Either Chapter 523: Chapter 522: Chu Kong’s Taste Isn’t That Great Either Yun Sang really did pick a fight with Xiao Qimo.

Xiao Qimo secretly gnashed his teeth, his gaze becoming more dangerous with each passing moment.

Lu Mian pinched the bridge of her nose, not knowing when she had picked up this little habit of Xiao Qimo’s.

“Stop arguing.”

After she finished speaking, she immediately looked towards Xiao Qimo.

The gentlemanly man immediately withdrew his threatening gaze from Yun Sang.

“What’s the matter, Mianmian?” Tender and chivalrous, ever-ready to care.

Lu Mian changed the subject, “The classrooms in Yulan Pavilion are quite cold.

Since those girls have left, why don’t we turn the heating and air conditioning back on?”

Alarms immediately went off in Xiao Qimo’s mind.

This would be troublesome to handle.

It had taken quite the effort to finally move the young lady to Zitan Pavilion.

.co

Lu Mian seemed to sense Xiao Qimo’s hesitation.

She lowered her gaze, smiling softly, then lifted her head again.

Her clear eyes brimmed with starlight as she slowly said, “The internet speed in Zitan Pavilion is faster than in Yulan Pavilion.

I would still like to stay in Zitan Pavilion.

Is that possible?”

Of course!

Definitely possible!

Xiao Qimo elegantly pushed his glasses up, composed and graceful, “Then for your sake, I’ll let them off this time.”

“Great!” Lu Mian gave a thumbs up.

Yun Sang: As if I don’t exist, huh!

aEUR”aEUR”

After getting the ticket, Ya Ling didn’t go straight back to the hotel she was staying at but instead took a taxi around half the city, ultimately directing the driver to stop at the entrance of the Jinjing Theater.

Since being rescued by Lu Mian, apart from visiting once, she never set foot on Jinjing soil again, nor had she ever revisited the old places.

The Ye Family didn’t welcome her, and nobody wished to see her.

Her silent disappearance seemed like the best solution for everyone.

Now that she’s back, she wandered around the city and, almost subconsciously, found herself at the Jinjing Theater.

Here, there were countless memories that belonged to her.

She looked up at the newly painted and renovated theater doors, her lips hidden under the scarf, pulling into a slight smile.

Apart from the new doors, not much else had changed.

She slowly walked inside; there was no concert today, so she could go further in.

She moved slowly as if each place she passed triggered fragments of related memories.

She had taken photos with them at the entrance billboard.

She and Ye Jinwen had skipped classes several times to rush around this building just in time.

One year, her best friend won first prize in a national piano competition, and they stood by the lotus pond, hugging each other excitedly, tears streaming down their faces.

So many memories…

Ya Ling kept walking inward until she effortlessly found a small theater.

Unlike the main hall, this venue generally hosted small concerts, with great acoustics and top-notch equipment.

Ya Ling had been here many times.

She bypassed the audience seats and went straight to the backstage area.

Before she got close, she heard some noises coming from the stage; Ya Ling immediately stopped and hid in the adjacent corridor.

At this moment, Shen Yixin was backstage, accompanying Shao Yunxuan through the rehearsal.

The piano was already set in the center of the stage.

Shao Yunxuan looked wistful as staff members occasionally approached her, discussing the procedures with respect and politeness.

“Miss Shao, what do you think of this stage design effect?”

“Miss Shao, do you have any specific requests regarding the lighting?”

“Miss Shao, could you please sign an autograph for me first!”

Shao Yunxuan’s heart nearly soared to the heavens.

She dealt with the staff while fantasizing about the scene of the music concert on the fifth day.

She hadn’t officially become Chu Kong’s disciple yet but was already receiving so many compliments.

Once she formally became the sole heir to Chu Kong, would not everyone in the piano circle come to flatter her?

And Young Master Ye, Young Master Ye would definitely look at her with new respect, right?

Seeing Shao Yunxuan somewhat distracted, Shen Yixin reminded her.

“Yunxuan?

Yunxuan?”

“Oh, Sister Yixin.”

Shen Yixin patiently explained the process of going on stage to Shao Yunxuan, holding a notebook, as well as things to pay attention to during her performance.

“Yunxuan, master will perform for an hour first, and after his performance ends, he will introduce you to the audience.

There will be many industry insiders and esteemed listeners sitting below, don’t be nervous, just go on stage confidently.

Once you go up, bowaEUR”the motion I’ve taught youaEUR”and you don’t need to say much.

Express yourself with your music instead,” Yixin said.

Shao Yunxuan listened to these words absentmindedly, nodding noncommittally.

“Also, the piece you prepared is excellent, but you always hesitate in the middle section; laypeople might not notice, but professionals will recognize it immediately.

My suggestion for that part isaEUR|”

Shao Yunxuan, growing impatient, interrupted Shen Yixin.

“Sister Yixin, you’ve told me all this many times already; I know it,” she said.

Shen Yixin’s hand paused.

Shao Yunxuan smiled, “Sister Yixin, you probably haven’t played the piano for a long time.

The issue you mentioned, it’s easier said than done.

Why, don’t you try playing it yourself?”

Her words were almost a piercing jab to the heart.

Knowing full well that Shen Yixin couldn’t play the piano, yet still, she spoke such words to provoke her.

Shen Yixin’s notebook accidentally slipped to the floor.

She quickly bent down to pick it up, and in that moment, hid a flash of heartache and distress in the corners of her eyes.

When she looked up again, her smile was warm and gentle.

“Go practice some more,” Shen Yixin said, her voice betraying a hint of fatigue.

Shao Yunxuan didn’t say anything and went straight to the stage.

A staff member was very attentive and guided Shao Yunxuan all the way there, adjusting the microphone for her and sorting out her music score upon arrival.

Shao Yunxuan sat there very much like a princess.

Shen Yixin sighed deeply and sat on the backstage sofa, closing her eyes to listen to Shao Yunxuan’s playing.

At this moment, two men passed by the small theater and stopped when they heard the piano.

The two looked in the direction of the stage, watching the young girl playing the piano.

One of the men suddenly laughed.

The man dressed like an assistant asked curiously, “Mr.

Pu, what’s the matter?”

The one addressed as Mr.

Pu was Pu Huaiyin, who, alongside Chu Kong, was known as one of the top three pianists in Z Country.

In previous years, due to differing musical philosophies, he competed with Chu Kong and failed to join the Starlight Symphony Orchestra.

Pu Huaiyin leaned on the railing with both hands, watching Shao Yunxuan with interest, sneering.

“Chu Kong’s taste really isn’t that great,” he said.

The assistant immediately followed up on the topic, “I heard that at the music concert on the fifth day, Chu Kong will announce her as his disciple on the spot.”

The two exchanged scoffs, their amusement at the situation quite evident.

As the piano music continued, Pu Huaiyin’s gaze became more and more dismissive.

“Everyone says Chu Kong is arrogant and seeks a perfect heir.

This is it?

Heh, I guess we’ll wait and see the joke on the fifth day!”
