Chapter 21: It’s my birthday! Eighteen years have quietly arrived!
The audience's reaction is the best feedback. Mingyi quickly returned to the backstage lounge. Qiao Mengan and Yuan Heyu were already waiting for her inside, as well as Lu Xiujing and Ji Shuxuan who flew back specially. For a moment, the lounge was full of people.
Ming Yi was stunned for a moment after opening the door, then a smile appeared on her face: "So you deliberately didn't say you were coming, actually to surprise me?"
"How could I not show up on such an important day?" Ji Shuxuan said as she handed her the bouquet of flowers.
"Thank you." Mingyi lowered her head and glanced at the flowers in her arms, all of which were her favorite flowers.
"The performance today was great." Lu Xiujin has always been a man of few words.
"Thank you for coming all the way here. Senior Brother has prepared a celebration banquet. Would you like to join us?" Mingyi invited.
"Of course, together." Ji Shuxuan nodded in agreement without thinking. Although Lu Xiujin didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.
After they finished their greetings, Qiao Mengan and Yuan Heyu came forward. Qiao Mengan said directly, "Your performance tonight proves that your choice was right."
"I think so too." Mingyi's tone was light but full of confidence.
"Teacher and senior brother are still waiting. Shall we go first?" Yuan Heyu said, his eyes swept over the other two people, and then quickly looked away.
"Okay." Mingyi nodded.
"What about your family?" Qiao Mengan asked.
"No rush." Mingyi thought of the gift given by the old man and the family dinner yesterday. Should it be considered an early celebration?
When they arrived, Liang Qinglan and Huo Jiamu were discussing tonight's concert. A smile crossed her face. "From now until now, quite a few old friends have sent us congratulations. Mingyi's performance today was truly a pleasant surprise."
"Yes, her performance today was unexpectedly good, and now there is a lot of applause." Although we knew before that her performance would not be too bad, her condition today was really off the charts.
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Huo Jiamu stood up and said with a smile, "They're here."
It was more of a party than a celebration banquet. Fellow disciples always had more to talk about, which made Ji Shuxuan and Lu Xiujin seem a bit out of place. She snorted coldly, "When I asked you before, didn't you say you were busy and didn't have time to come back? How treacherous!"
Lu Xiujin tilted his head to glance at her, his tone light: "Mutual, mutual." Just as she said, how could Mingyi be absent on such an important day? His eyes fell on Mingyi, who was surrounded in the center. Wherever she went, she was the focus of everyone's attention, and her brilliance could never be concealed.
Compared to the peaceful days here, those who were originally prepared to mock on the Internet did not expect to be slapped in the face so quickly. In addition to the audience's feedback, many big names who were familiar with the piano sound praised Mingyi's concert, and some even directly praised her as a talented girl.
Since winning the Kongling Cup and Chunfeng Cup, Mingyi has amassed a considerable online following. The recognition from influential figures and the title of "genius girl" quickly spread. Right? An eighteen-year-old girl, to have achieved such feats, what else could she be but a genius? Furthermore, photos of her playing the piano spread, revealing her elf-like beauty. This earned her another nickname: "Piano Elf."
Some people even insisted that these bigwigs must have been invited by the Ming family to endorse Ming Yi in order to build momentum for her.
Make money and spend it on yourself: No, before you said that she was making money, now you say that the Ming family is building momentum for her, what, do you think this is the feudal era, are you trying to build momentum because she is destined to be a queen?
Lonely Mineral Water: Is it so difficult to admit that someone is excellent? Even the big names in the piano world admit that she is a genius girl, so don't be jealous.
Missing You is a Cake: This piano student can tell you from my own experience that talent is really important when it comes to musical instruments. Mingyi is the most talented of all the geniuses I have ever seen.
The piano sounds melodious: I had the honor of listening to the live performance today, it was really great.
Also because of this comment, many people flocked to the ticketing company’s latest blog post, asking when the next tickets would be available.
The ticketing company quickly informed netizens: We have not received any news about Mingyi’s next concert yet.
Big-Faced Cat Doesn’t Eat Fish: So when will the eldest lady consider opening another one?
Strawberry Ice Cream: Same thing, I really want to hear it live.
I won’t eat today to lose weight: Who is saying that the eldest lady is making money? Come out and apologize
The internet was abuzz with the news, and many audience members coming out of the venue were still reminiscing about it. Zhou Jing looked at Xu Chenxi next to her and whispered, "I remember today is her birthday." It was on this day seventeen years ago that she became the lucky winner of Mingyi Paradise.
"So it's her birthday?" Xu Chenxi murmured. Her friends were already impressed by Mingyi's performance today and were still searching for the date of Mingyi's next concert.
"Maybe there won't be a next time." Thinking of the last Spring Breeze Cup, Xu Chenxi couldn't help but murmured. With Mingyi, she found that she was very good at both dancing and piano. For her, these might be fun or interests, but they would never be a lifelong choice like them. At this moment, Xu Chenxi's envy of Mingyi rose in her heart again.
When Mingyi returned home, her family was waiting for her in the living room. The three little trumpets came forward to hug her and thanked her for fulfilling her great-grandfather's wish.
Mingyi broke away from their embrace and said calmly, "How do you know this isn't my wish?"
Holding a concert was already part of her plan; she just moved it up a little. She looked at You Shiliu beside her and asked softly, "Where's Great Grandfather?"
"Going out to listen to a concert today was very taxing on his body. He went straight back to his room when he came back." You Shiliu spoke gently, indicating that she didn't need to worry. The old man had a medical team by his side, so he would be fine.
"Okay, I'm glad that Grandpa is okay. I'll go back to my room and rest." Today was also a very tiring day for Mingyi.
"Wait, have you forgotten something?" Ming Li grabbed Ming Yi who wanted to go back to her room. Before she could speak, the lights in the living room were soon turned off, and Ming Siyuan appeared pushing a cake cart. This time, the pattern on the cake was herself, her beautiful eighteenth year old. Her relatives sang birthday songs in her ears, and in front of her was the cake specially prepared by her family. Ming Yi closed her eyes and began to make a wish, and posted the first content on her social account.

In addition to the cake, the two accompanying pictures also included a photo of them with the old man that day, but she didn't expect that netizens' attention was all on the private plane behind her.
