"Qinhuai..."
Shen Yu looked at Qin Huai, as if about to say something, but suddenly paused and quickly asked the staff, "Do you have a white suit that fits his body type?"
"No, we don't have that."
The staff member shook his head.
The auditorium isn't a film set; normally, the performance costumes are brought by the performance team themselves.
Besides, he's about to go on stage, where are we going to find a white suit for Qin Huai?
Forget white suits, you can't even find a suit.
Su Huaijun was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead, her mind went blank, and she couldn't help but say, "Or wear mine!"
Qin Huai looked terrified upon hearing this.
The air was inexplicably quiet.
Immediately, a burst of laughter rang out.
By sheer chance, it eased everyone's tension.
"I'm sorry, I..." Su Huaijun cried because of her own stupidity.
Qin Huai waved his hand and said proudly, "It's okay, don't worry. I'm so handsome, even if I wear casual clothes or beggar's clothes, I'll still be the center of attention on stage."
Lu Qingxue couldn't help but say, "Anyone who wears beggar's clothes on stage will be the center of attention, okay?"
"Next, please welcome the representatives from Chongcheng Art Academy to the stage for a performance. What kind of audio-visual feast will they bring us? Let's look forward to it together!"
The host's voice, amplified through the microphone, was already in my ears.
"Hurry, hurry, let's get ready to go on stage!"
"Give it your all, roll up your sleeves and work hard. If you want to succeed, you have to go crazy first..."
"Charge!"
"Let's give it our all!"
The stage lights went out, shrouding everything in darkness.
When Shen Yu and Qin Huai went on stage side by side, Shen Yu said to Qin Huai, "Please."
"You're putting pressure on me."
"I'll treat you to dinner after the performance."
"Just eating?"
"Then what else do you want to do?"
"Let me think about it..."
"Stop thinking about it, get ready to begin!"
In the darkness, Qin Huai sat in front of a piano, the sheet music already laid out on the piano stand.
Snap!
The spotlight suddenly turned on, enveloping Teacher Shen Yu alone.
Teacher Shen Yu amazed everyone as soon as she appeared.
That face, that figure, that aura, that floor-length red gown, that expensive ivory-white piano…
In that instant, they became a whole; the absence of any element would make this masterpiece incomplete.
Ding dong ding dong...
The piano music, as melodious as a babbling brook, flowed merrily under the taps of Ms. Shen Yu's slender, fair fingers.
Before everyone's eyes, it seemed as if a stream was winding its way into the distance.
Then, various wind instruments joined in, and the crowd followed the stream into the boundless sea.
The sea was calm, the sky was blue with white clouds, seagulls flew by in flocks, and the sea breeze gently caressed everyone's faces.
Tranquil, beautiful, and profound.
Ding ding ding...
Qin Huai's first entry was incredibly smooth, as if she had rehearsed with everyone many times before.
The lights came on completely.
Qin Huai on the stage was clearly displayed before everyone's eyes.
Chen Muxi's eyes widened in shock.
Chen Huaidong raised an eyebrow, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Xiang Dongchen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said helplessly, "He's put it on again, and it sounds pretty good."
The heavenly sound, created by the blending of various musical instruments, gradually transforms from gentle to powerful.
It transitions from calm and soothing to intense boiling.
The duet between Qin Huai and Shen Yu began.
The two sat at their respective pianos, their fingers flying across the keys.
Even though they couldn't see each other, they seemed to be telepathically connected.
The two musicians' duet was perfectly synchronized from the moment Qin Huai began playing.
Qin Huai even took the lead, guiding Shen Yu to keep up with his pace.
Shen Yu had forgotten everything, a blissful smile appearing on her face. Her fair hands instinctively began to play, following Qin Huai's lead.
Like two seagulls, circling and entwining on the gently rippling sea.
Behind the side curtain of the stage, Lu Qingxue and Su Huaijun stood at an angle out of sight of the audience, quietly enjoying the spectacle.
Su Huaijun had already closed her eyes, immersed in the heavenly harmony.
Lu Qingxue stared blankly at Qin Huai, doubting her own judgment for the first time.
Is this guy in front of me really an ignorant and incompetent rich kid?
His hand-to-hand combat skills were far superior to those of retired special forces bodyguards like Lao Lin.
His business plan was perfect.
He was skilled in medicine; his hands seemed to possess magic, even able to soothe the excruciating pain of menstruation.
His piano skills are indeed no less than those of Teacher Shen Yu, and may even surpass them.
Is your nonchalant attitude just a facade?
"Qin Huai... what kind of person are you? You always manage to surprise people unexpectedly..."
Nearly twenty people on stage were fully immersed in the performance.
But in Lu Qingxue's eyes, all that remained was Qin Huai, bathed in the spotlight.
This despicable, scoundrel, and vile bastard was, at this moment, as elegant as a foreign prince.
Ding ding ding ding... Ding...
When Shen Yu's last note fell, only the low sobbing of the saxophone remained in the entire venue.
Whether on or off stage, everyone's heart clenched for a moment without their noticing.
They seemed to see layers of dark clouds gathering, and a storm was about to break.
The gentle and peaceful sea is about to reveal its violent side.
Ding ding!
The moment the saxophone stopped, Qin Huai's fingers twitched.
He closed his eyes and stopped looking at the sheet music.
