Su Ziqian lowered his voice and said, "I've asked for leave. My younger brothers and sisters are performing today. Why can't I, as the older brother, come?"

"Let's go in together."

While talking, they walked into the auditorium.

The auditorium can accommodate tens of thousands of people. They arrived early and chose seats in the front row.

Make-up and dressing room.

The etiquette teacher held the list and asked, "Where is Lin Yuexi?"

"Lin Yuexi hasn't come yet?"

"No, teacher." The girl who was sitting and waiting for her personal makeup artist to do her makeup told her kindly.

The etiquette teacher frowned and said, "You are late for the party. You really don't know how to behave."

"Wait for her for the last five minutes. If she doesn't come, replace her."

At this moment, Su Mingji calculated the time and pretended to pass by. Seeing the etiquette teacher's sad face, he pretended to be curious and asked, "What's wrong, teacher?"

The etiquette teacher was obsessed with looks and had a crush on Su Mingji, so she smiled again: "Lin Yuexi, who was originally your partner, hasn't arrived yet. We're waiting for her."

Su Mingji kindly reminded: "Teacher, there is less than half an hour left. If you rush here, you may not have enough time to put on makeup, change into a dress, and adjust your mentality."

After listening to Su Mingji, the etiquette teacher thought about it and found that what Su Mingji said was quite right.

but……

She looked embarrassed again: "Now there is no time to find someone who is compatible with you, what should I do?"

Su Mingji saw the opportunity and made a timely recommendation: "I usually ask my sister to help me practice. It happens that my sister is not participating in the class performance. Can I introduce my sister Sheng Yunshu?"

The etiquette teacher looked struggling. Although it was Su Mingji who recommended her personally, yesterday's rehearsal was a collaboration between Lin Yuexi and Su Mingji. Would the sister he mentioned not be able to adapt and be stage fright?

but……

There is no doubt about time.

The etiquette teacher weighed the pros and cons and decided to give in: "Okay, then please ask Su to talk to your sister, and I will go talk to the host classmate."

The etiquette teacher left the scene quickly. Seeing that the matter was settled, Su Mingji smiled with an ambiguous meaning, took out his mobile phone and sent a message.

[Hold her.]

hall.

Su Yi came to his family panting, Sheng Yuelan smiled and said, "You came to see your brother and sister's performance too?"

Su Yi snorted and said stubbornly, "I'm just passing by. I'm bored. Why not watch a free show?"

If Su Yi hadn't been panting and sweating at this moment, the whole family might have believed what he said.

Some teachers came over to distribute the program.

Sheng Yuelan glanced at the program list, her eyes softly smiling, "This program will also be Mingji's first appearance."

Coincidentally, someone sat down at the seat next to Su Ziqian. Su Ziqian looked up and saw it was Xie Lin.

"Why are you here?" Su Ziqian asked him.

Xie Lin leaned back in his chair and laughed, "It's rare for my kid to be willing to perform on stage, so I came with my dad to watch."

The man next to Xie Lin greeted Su Luo and Sheng Yuelan: "Su Luo, Yuelan, long time no see."

Sheng Yuelan showed a decent and gentle smile: "Well, long time no see."

They exchanged a few pleasantries before the host came on stage.

A male and female partner will host the whole event together.

He first said a few words according to the script.

Soon, the male host confidently said in a loud voice: "The original plan was for Su Mingji and Lin Yuexi to perform together in the first show, but because Lin Yuexi was unable to make it to the scene due to a personal matter, in order not to affect the performance, a temporary replacement will be made."

"The first performance, Wish You Happiness, performed by Su Mingji and Sheng Yunshu."

The hosts all took a back seat.

When Su Luo heard the name, he grabbed Sheng Yuelan's hand, his face full of pride: "It's Yunshu!"

"Yeah! I wonder if Yunshu will be nervous when she's the first to go on stage..."

Behind the scenes.

Su Mingji was wearing a white suit that made him look tall and straight like a pine or bamboo. His ten fingers, as white and tender as spring bamboo shoots, pulled at his tie.

The already good-looking face becomes even more handsome after putting on makeup.

Su Mingji teased, "Are you nervous?"

Sheng Yunshu stood beside him holding a violin, her skin looked white in a black fishtail skirt, her hair was tied up and looked even softer and brighter under the light, her delicate cheeks looked even more desolate because of the makeup, she looked like a goddess standing on the top of a snowy mountain, never compromising.

"No."

"Okay, go ahead."

Su Mingji walked onto the stage, sat on the piano stool, adjusted the height of the piano stool, stepped on the pedal, tilted his head back to breathe, and adjusted his emotions.

Sheng Yunshu followed closely behind him, standing not far from him. After taking a deep breath, he put the violin on his shoulder and closed his eyes.

Get ready to start.

Su Mingji's fingers slowly played a few keys, and the piano moved along with the keys, with a melodious melody throughout the whole performance.

Sheng Yunshu pulled the violin bow, and the sounds of the violins mixed and flowed.

The beautiful voice cannot resonate with everyone because its melody is too bland.

Su Mingji and Sheng Yunshu suddenly paused, and after opening their eyes, there was a determination and decisiveness in their eyes that could not be ignored.

Sheng Yunshu held the strings of the zither with his left hand, and after pulling the bow once with his right hand, he suddenly increased the speed and strength of his hands, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment and passion, like a survivor struggling in a swamp, pursuing that desired ray of light.

Not to be outdone, Su Mingji followed closely behind, his fingers moving quickly and joyfully on the keys, playing music non-stop. His fingers exerted more and more force, his head swaying with it, his eyes constantly following the hands pressing on the keys.

His fingers moved uncontrollably on the piano keys, venting his anger and accusing fate of being unfair.

The two players' piano playing seemed to be in competition, and their anger continued to rise, engulfing the entire venue.

The audience, who originally felt bored, were now attracted by their piano music and indulged in it uncontrollably, stirring the audience's emotions.

After the last pull, their hands slowed down, gradually becoming gentler, but mixed with——

despair.

It's like the despair of failing to fight against fate and falling into endless regret.

It made people at the venue feel sad unconsciously.

Just when they thought it was about to end, Sheng Yunshu suddenly opened her eyes, her hands moved faster than before, and she stared at the violin with an unwilling look. Sweat beads fell from her forehead, down her neck, and the moment the sweat on her arms fell to her elbows -

The speed of her hands continued to increase, as if she wanted to break through that limit, grab the light she wanted, resist it, and sing praises to it.

Her whole body kept adjusting its posture because of pulling the violin bow, and her whole body kept swaying with the melody, just to resist the so-called "fate".

Just for the one in my heart——

To gain happiness for the important person.

Su Mingji's fingers danced quickly on the piano keys as fast as an afterimage. The notes continued to convey his obsession. He would sacrifice his life for this obsession at all costs.

They all have the same goal.

It seemed like the two were playing the piano frantically like they were fighting, but in fact, behind the scenes, the sounds of their pianos mixed together to form a force that should not be underestimated.

Finally, it becomes dull.

This kind of blandness seems to be what they want to pursue——

happiness.
