Chapter 61 If You Don't Want to Participate, Then Don't Participate

Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major sounded in the concert hall.

"Is this... a foreign song?"

"Yes, it's a piece by the famous musician Beethoven."

Lin Anan closed her eyes slightly, not even looking at the people in the audience, just enjoying the music alone.

Her body swayed slightly to the soothing rhythm and she seemed to be immersed in it. Her devotion made her seem to be shrouded in a special halo that made people unable to look away.

The bow slides across the strings like flowing water, sometimes slow, sometimes fast. As the rhythm changes, a beautiful and powerful melody unfolds. Even those who don't understand violin will know what beautiful music means.

The entire concert hall was so quiet that only the melodious sound of the violin could be heard.

Everyone seemed to be under a spell, staring at her intently, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Until Lin Anan played the last note and slowly put down the violin, the quiet atmosphere still lingered in the room for a long time.

After a long while, as if waking up from a dream, they broke into applause that was even more enthusiastic and longer-lasting than before.

After Lin Anan put down the violin, she raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the people below the stage with an indifferent expression.

"Sister, you are so awesome!"

Lin Zihuai kept giving Lin Anan the thumbs up and glared at Su Yao and the others.

He hadn't felt anything when they were on stage just now, he just thought the two of them were in sync, but the two siblings were already familiar with each other, so it wasn't surprising.

But standing on the stage and listening to Lin Anan’s solo is a different matter.

It's totally shocking!

Lu Qing's face flushed with excitement. He quickly walked onto the stage again, his eyes full of amazement: "Comrade Lin, you are really amazing. You can actually play foreign music. It's amazing!"

Tang Jingqiao also stood up and clapped her hands. "Comrade Lin, you are indeed very talented. You can even perform foreign classics so well. I believe you will shine in the art performance."

Su Yao, Pan Guohe and others looked at each other.

"How is it possible? She... How could she play better than Songquan..."

They couldn't understand why Lin Anan's violin skills were so high? This was unrealistic!

Lin Anan didn't answer. She glanced at Lu Qing, walked around him, and walked off the stage. "Zihuai, let's go."

“Oh, here it comes.”

Lu Qing immediately caught up with him, "Comrade Lin, wait! I'm really sorry about what happened today. It was our comrades in the art troupe who did something wrong. Please don't take it to heart."

Lin Anan stopped and tilted her head slightly, "Coach Lu, I think I have made it very clear that we do not intend to participate."

Lu Qing said hurriedly: "Comrade Lin, please think about it again. This art performance is really important, and your talent will definitely add brilliance to the performance. Moreover, we will deal with today's incident seriously and ensure that you will not be wronged again."

Su Yao gritted her teeth and stepped forward to stop Lin Anan. "It's my fault today, okay? I've apologized to you, and our instructor has begged you so much, what else do you want?"

Before Lin Anan could answer, she heard a steady and powerful voice, "What happened?"

Everyone looked up and saw Chu Mingzhou in military uniform striding towards the door. He had an upright posture and a stern face. His solemn expression made the whole audience silent for a moment.

He walked to Lin Anan, looked her up and down, and then looked at Lu Qing, "What's going on?"

Lu Qing opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain. Chu Mingzhou had lent him someone for emergency use, but it ended up like this...

Chu Mingzhou looked at Su Yao again and paused at her face.

Su Yao took two steps back abruptly. "It's just a little misunderstanding. Comrade Lin plays the violin very well. Our instructor invited her to participate in the art performance, but she refused. Now she wants to leave..." Her voice became smaller and smaller.

Lin Zihuai couldn't stand it any longer. "Brother-in-law, we won't participate in this art performance. Whoever wants to participate can participate! It's not that I don't give you face, it's just that they are too bullying..."

Lin Zihuai was very eloquent and never gave anyone a chance to interrupt him. He was both matter-of-fact and spoke with just the right tone.

Chu Mingzhou's eyes darkened and his thin lips were tightly pursed, obviously he was angry.

He glanced coldly at Su Yao, Pan Guohe and others. His gaze seemed to carry a real chill that made everyone's heart tighten.

"Does it hurt?"

After Lin Zihuai finished speaking, Chu Mingzhou asked Lin Anan first.

"Um?"

"Didn't you fall? Does it hurt?"

Lin Anan was stunned!

Chu Mingzhou was referring to the incident where Su Yao pulled her down and she fell.

Lin Anan shook her head, "It doesn't hurt."

Chu Mingzhou frowned, "You don't want to participate, right?"

"Um."

Lin Anan never dreamed that Chu Mingzhou would just squat down and pick her up.

He let Lin Anan sit on his arm, held her in one arm and went straight out the door.

"Coach Lu, I'm waiting for your explanation on this matter."

Like Lin Anan, he changed the way he addressed Lu Qing, and it was clear at a glance how close he was to Lu Qing.

Everyone was stunned...

Tang Jingqiao clenched her fists and pressed her nails into the flesh. She said nothing and just stood quietly aside with the people from the Propaganda Department.

Lin Zihuai glanced around and immediately reacted. He snorted at everyone, "Give an explanation as soon as possible!" Then he trotted to catch up.

My mother~

At this moment, Lin Zihuai felt that his brother-in-law Chu Mingzhou was awesome!

He doesn't talk much, but he is decisive and majestic.

Without asking any questions, he could tell right from wrong and knew how to protect himself and his sister.

He wants to write a letter to tell his parents!

Chu Mingzhou strode out of the art troupe holding Lin Anan, attracting a lot of people's attention along the way.

Lin Anan blushed all over, she was so embarrassed!

"Put me down quickly, there are so many people watching."

Chu Mingzhou was unmoved. "It's okay. They can look at it however they want. I'll take you to the medical company."

Lin Anan felt a little numb in her heart, and couldn't suppress the emotion. She tightened her arms around his neck and said, "I'm really fine. I'm wearing cotton pants. I'm not hurt. There's no need to go through so much trouble."

Chu Mingzhou just glanced at her sideways, "Dai Lihua is in the medical company, no problem."

"Oops~"

Lin Anan tried to struggle down, but Chu Mingzhou lifted her up and she became obedient.

If he didn't go and take a look, Chu Mingzhou would feel uneasy. If someone else fell in front of him, he probably wouldn't even blink.

But Lin Anan can't do that!

She was so weak that he was worried that she would be blown away if the wind blew too strong.

"Why did you come to the art troupe?" Lin Anan asked.

"I finished my morning training, so I came by to take a look if I had nothing to do."

Lin Zihuai came up to the two of them and interrupted, "But brother-in-law, the special operations battalion is in the east, and the art troupe is in the west..."

"Go away."
