Chapter 63: Will he be jealous?
Most of the students immediately perked up, and deafening applause erupted in the auditorium. Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Shen Yanci took Ji Siyu's hand, and the two slowly walked to the center of the stage, where they gracefully bowed to the students and leaders below.
The soft lighting from the stage ceiling perfectly outlined the two figures standing side by side.
Ji Siyu wore a deep emerald green velvet dress. The heavy fabric had a great drape, and the skirt swayed gently with each step, like an emerald river flowing in the dark night, showing her elegance and poise.
Her long, jet-black hair was styled into a loose, low bun, adorned with a hairpin inlaid with diamonds. The falling strands of hair were tinged with a warm brown by the light, and she wore earrings in the same color family as her dress, creating a perfect harmony with the shimmering fabric of the skirt.
Her makeup was elegant yet radiant, with slightly upturned eyebrows adding to her presence, and a layer of light green pearlescent light sweeping across the corners of her eyes, which shimmered with a soft glow when she smiled.
Shen Yanci wore a light gray suit, which was well-tailored and made him look tall and straight like a pine tree.
He wore a white shirt underneath, with a thin black bow tie at the collar. There were no extra decorations, but it exuded a clean and neat youthful vibe.
His hair was neatly styled and fluffy, with wisps of hair falling slightly across his forehead, partially obscuring his eyebrows and eyes, but unable to hide his calm, deep-set eyes, his pupils gleaming with a warm light under the lamp.
With a high nose bridge, well-defined lips, and a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, she exudes a calm and composed aura, neither ostentatious nor lacking in charisma.
Before the performance even started, the audience was already in an uproar.
Wow, they're such a perfect match!
"Tell me how to lose weight successfully, I want to be a beauty too, sob sob sob."
"Tsk, men who have tasted the forbidden fruit are indeed different. Their aura has changed, but they're still just as handsome."
"This makes me even more excited. I heard that the new, incredibly handsome guy will also be performing."
"Huh? I'm in 2G? With whom? Shi Qiurou?"
"What are you thinking? She's already rejected him, and Shi Qiurou has a new love interest, it's definitely Song Shiyi. Isn't it obvious she's pursuing him?"
"? Doesn't Song Shiyi like Shen Yanci?"
"Who told you that? Did she whisper it in your ear?"
"..."
Si Yue and Xie Lin sat in the best seats in the middle, and the two of them had been chatting so much that they had lost track of time.
One is abstract, the other is meme-worthy.
They have a whole set of evaluations to offer.
They're practically sworn siblings.
Si Yue found him much more pleasing to the eye and said with lingering interest, "This is the first time I've seen a man as handsome as you who doesn't care about his image."
Xie Lin looked at him with satisfaction, saying, "You've finally said something sensible."
Si Yue choked, "So all you heard was the word 'handsome,' right?"
How can someone be so narcissistic!
"...Alright, shut up and watch the show."
The two people on stage have taken their seats and are ready to begin.
The moment the first note leaped from their fingertips, the noise in the auditorium instantly fell silent.
The melody was delicate at first, and Ji Siyu's right hand danced lightly in the high register, her fingertips gliding across the keys, the diamond fragments in her hairpin shimmering with her movements.
Shen Yanci's left hand laid out a warm and gentle tone in the low register, and the sound of the zither gradually unfolded.
Their arms occasionally crossed above the piano keys, her fingertips brushing against his wrist, the melody flowing like two intertwined streams, naturally merging into the same bend.
The stage lights gradually dimmed, leaving only two spotlights on the piano keys and the audience.
As the last chord faded away, the two players' fingertips remained on the keys.
The echo lingered in the auditorium twice before someone gently clapped, followed by a wave of applause that swept through the hall, accompanied by cheers from the students.
"Wow, Ji Siyu really deserves her award from the Berlin Steinberg Award, she plays so well."
"What's this 'Bai' thing? Is it that awesome?"
"Of course! That's the Olympics of the piano world!"
"Holy crap, she's that good? No wonder I felt that Shen Yanci's zither playing couldn't compare to hers."
"Shen Yanci is actually quite good. After all, he's not a professional, but he's quite skilled. He probably learned it from a young age."
"A perfect match, no wonder they're my ship!"
Even the leader sitting at the very front nodded repeatedly.
After finishing his resignation, Shen Yanci subconsciously looked to his side and back, a hint of smugness in his expression.
With so much cheering and applause, such a great response, did she hear it?
You saw his performance on stage just now, right?
He remembered that Song Shiyi loved listening to him play the piano, and would always praise him with a smile afterward, making him incredibly happy.
What about now?
"Not bad." He Jinzhao clapped his hands and gave a perfunctory compliment.
Song Shiyi nodded, looking at the two people on the stage with only admiration and praise in her eyes.
It must be said that the two of them cooperated very well, had excellent chemistry, and created a great atmosphere that made people unconsciously immerse themselves in the experience.
He Jinchao noticed that she was staring at the stage, so he frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and although his expression didn't change, his eyes darkened a bit.
He knew that Song Shiyi really enjoyed listening to Shen Yanci play the zither, so he wondered if it had stirred up some wonderful memories.
That won't do!
He finally managed to pry open this corner of the wall, so he needs to keep a close eye on it.
He immediately reached out and blocked her view.
Song Shiyi: "?"
She turned to the nonchalant boy with a puzzled look, pointed to his hand, and asked sincerely.
What are you doing?
He Jinzhao coughed lightly twice, "That light is too bright, it's bad for your eyes, let me block it for you."
Song Shiyi: "..."
What an unreasonable excuse.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
He Jinzhao silently lowered his hand, and Chao Jue casually said, "Our performance will also make them cheer."
"I am no less capable than Shen Yanci."
He looked here and there, but he wouldn't look at Song Shiyi.
Eight hundred feints in a minute left Song Shiyi completely bewildered.
Who has upset him again?
Song Shiyi looked at him for a few seconds, and when she thought of his last words, her eyes lit up and an idea suddenly popped into her mind.
He Jinzhao, could it be that she thought she was looking at Shen Yanci, and then...
Are you jealous?
She burst out laughing.
How come she never noticed how cute He Jinzhao was before?
This is petty and obviously awkward.
He Jinzhao was a little confused when she suddenly laughed. He didn't know what had happened. Just as he was about to ask, his body suddenly stiffened.
He slowly lowered his head to look, and saw Song Shiyi holding his hands and gently shaking them from side to side, accompanied by her sweet and coquettish voice.
"He Jinzhao, don't lack confidence."
"In my eyes, you are the best!"
