Chapter 15 sounds good, the best I have ever heard.
"Go do your thing, but I want to remind you that I hope every cent of the money invested by Chu can be fed back to the students in the end, rather than just used to renovate the building and build useless vanity projects."
When Chu Hanting spoke seriously, even if he did not deliberately lower his voice and just spoke directly, he had a sense of kingship that made others dare not disobey. Leaders like Principal Li, who have been in high positions for a long time, felt like elementary school students listening to Chu Hanting's speech.
"Understood, I guarantee that the ultimate beneficiaries of these funds will definitely be students."
Then the principal hurried away with the teacher.
When Chu Hanting turned around and looked at the piano room again, through the glass window, he happened to meet a pair of bright eyes with a smile.
He did not feel embarrassed about being discovered eavesdropping, but instead felt a little curious.
The boy was wearing a white wool T-shirt with a collar and a brown vest. His peach blossom eyes were particularly attractive with a faint smile.
Chu Hanting pushed open the door of the piano room and walked in front of Su Mu. Before he could settle the score with the little liar, he heard someone say, "You eavesdropped? How could Mr. Chu do such a thing?"
Chu Hanting chuckled, "Otherwise, how would I know that someone was using me to ward off peach blossoms?"
Su Mu's smile disappeared visibly, and his tone seemed to be dissatisfied and accusing, and a little aggrieved, "Can't I just be telling the truth?"
Chu Hanting smiled and did not comment.
It's not that he doesn't believe it, but it's been less than thirty hours since they met, so it's a bit absurd to say "love".
Su Mu knew at a glance that this person didn't believe it, and he was angry in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it. Who made him owe this person in his previous life?
Skipping this topic that could not be concluded, Su Mu asked: "Why are you here?"
President Chu might appear in the group or various places to discuss cooperation, but the school seems to be incompatible with this person.
"The Chu family is the major shareholder of this school", one sentence made Su Mu understand the reason.
Sure enough, he knew that this person usually appeared in the workplace.
Su Mu looked up at him. Although he was also tall, he was still a head shorter than Chu Hanting. When he was close, he needed to raise his head slightly to take in the handsome face of this person.
Su Mu felt that he was really blind in his previous life, and was probably covered with mud. This person looked just like him, but he couldn't see anything in his previous life.
Chu Hanting looked at Su Mu as he looked at him seriously and generously. To be honest, few people could stare at him openly under the pressure of his direct gaze.
"Have you seen enough?"
"Not yet," Su Mu shook his head, "Don't you want to see it?"
Chu Hanting chuckled, "You haven't finished the song you just played."
"You heard this too?" Su Mu thought Chu Hanting came later, but he didn't expect to hear him playing.
"Do you want to listen? I'll play it for you alone."
Without waiting for Chu Hanting to answer, Su Mu walked to the piano stand, adjusted the position of the piano stool, and sat down.
Chu Hanting walked to the window outside, with his hands in his trouser pockets and his hips lightly resting on the windowsill, just in time to see Su Mu's every move while playing the piano from the side.
Su Mu first tried to play a few notes casually, and after adjusting his state, he started to play, and a series of beautiful and pleasant melodies came out as if they had their own life.
He was not playing the song just now, but another song plus improvisation, because he wanted Chu Hanting to get to know him better through the sound of the piano.
Chu Hanting could naturally hear the difference. The current song had a faster tempo than the previous one, but it was not a cheerful rhythm, but it made people feel that the tone was rich, as deep and sticky as the sea.
Looking at Su Mu's expression again, he didn't play the lyrical music as calmly as he imagined.
Instead, it was aggressive and sharp.
The piano is like the person, so what did Su Mu want him to listen to?
Chu Hanting felt like he was in the depths of a whirlpool, being beaten by the wind and invaded by the waves. The sense of aggression hit him directly in the face through the sound of the piano.
His eyes darkened a little, and they were unclear.
In an instant, the sound of the piano changed drastically, becoming a little slower, but extremely powerful and penetrating.
Chu Hanting seemed to feel the tide around him recede, and he was lifted up by a small boat.
Then the scene changed, and he seemed to be in a dense forest, with bamboo shoots breaking through the ground around him. It was raining heavily, and the bamboo shoots resisted the heaviness of the soil, struggling for growth, relying on their own strength to break through all obstacles and gain the opportunity to grow.
Then, the rain stopped and the sky cleared, and the bamboo shoots climbed higher and higher, becoming tall bamboos that stood tall and green.
The song ended with a gentle ending, as if all the dust had settled, and it was quiet and beautiful.
Interesting, Chu Hanting thought.
I thought that the clear and ethereal songs that could cleanse people's souls were his forte.
Unexpectedly, today seemed to have given him a surprise, and he needed to re-examine this marriage partner.
It seemed that it was not as described in the file.
He felt that he could delete the information in his heart. This person was not what he had found out. After
Su Mu finished playing, he paused for two or three seconds to come out of his trance and turned his head to look in the direction of Chu Hanting.
At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun just happened to hit Chu Hanting. His figure against the light was hazy and tall. The golden light passed through his body, as if it had painted a color on his black suit. The colors overlapped and it turned brown at first glance.
"Does it sound good?"
Chu Hanting raised the corners of his lips, "Su Mu, you surprised me."
"Does it sound good?"
Chu Hanting sighed helplessly and answered seriously: "It sounds good. It's the best I've ever heard."
This was definitely not Chu Hanting's coaxing words. He had heard a lot of pianos, but Su Mu was the first one who could make him feel as if he was in the scene.
Hearing the compliment, Su Mu smiled slightly. He moved closer to Chu Hanting and took advantage of the situation to pursue him, "I have a piano competition next week."
"Yeah." Chu Hanting replied softly.
"Can you come?" Su Mu's tone was soft, as if begging.
Chu Hanting felt as if his heart was gently pricked by a cat's paw.
"Are you inviting me?" He said in a low and hoarse voice.
"Yes," Su Mu said bluntly, "I want you to come."
His eyes were full of autumn water, and that kind of pious, hopeful prayer seemed to be telling a pure desire. Su Mu wanted him to listen to him play, nothing more.
It was really tempting, Chu Hanting thought.
But the more this was the case, the more he couldn't delay. No matter what this kid wanted from him, it was impossible.
"I'm busy with work, so..." "
The venue of the competition is right next to the Chu's building," Su Mu interrupted him, "Don't reject me now, wait until that day."
Chu Hanting didn't reply, but he couldn't bear to hurt his feelings by rejecting him, so he skipped the topic, "It's getting late, are you living on campus or going back to the Su residence?"
