Chapter 1434 What’s your name?
Not long after they entered, the concert began with a piano and cello duet.
The one playing the piano was of course Felix, and the one playing the cello was Camille Thomas, the "smoking friend" who had lectured Xiao Peng on the balcony for half a day.
The piece they performed was David Popper's "Hungarian Rhapsody". It was different from the usual performances. There was no large orchestra accompaniment, only piano and cello concerto. It sounded unique and it was very sleep-inducing!
Especially Camille Thomas's performance...
Xiao Peng swears to heaven! This is definitely the cellist with the most expressive facial expressions he has ever seen! Barely any other!
She played with her eyes closed the entire time, her expression alternately happy and sad. Such self-absorption left Xiao Peng unsure how to evaluate her performance: Technically speaking, Xiao Peng believed countless cellists were superior to hers; her playing lacked excessive virtuosity and contained no challenging pieces. But in terms of emotional investment? She'd be second to none!
Xiao Peng had never had much interest in classical music, and the deep, soporific sound of the cello finally lulled him to sleep. He wasn't awakened until the enthusiastic applause at the end of the performance.
"Is it over?" Xiao Peng wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and hurriedly joined in the applause. Felix and Camille Thomas were on the stage bowing and thanking the audience. He tilted his head and glanced at the others, almost laughing out loud. It turned out that Vincent McMahon, like him, had also been woken by the applause and was clapping along in a daze.
Seeing Xiao Peng looking at him, Vincent McMahon smiled sheepishly: "Sorry, I tend to fall asleep easily when I get older."
Xiao Peng said, "It's okay, I understand. But after all, this is my apprentice's performance, so at least give me some face! How could I fall asleep?"
Vincent McMahon quickly apologized: "I'm really sorry, but your apprentice's piano skills are really great. If he wasn't your apprentice, I would have invited him to teach piano to my grandchildren."
Vincent McMahon's son has three sons, and his daughter has three daughters. It's really rare for someone to be so fertile.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Why didn't you invite him after you knew he was my disciple?"
Vincent McMahon smiled bitterly and said, "The price is too high. I can't afford to hire him."
Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "This kid loves playing the piano and won't give it up. Otherwise, wouldn't all his hard work since childhood be in vain? What I admire most about my apprentice is the fund I gave him a few years ago, but he hasn't stopped training since then and still practices every day. I can't do that!"
Vincent McMahon nodded and said, "Everyone has his reasons for success."
Xiao Peng hummed and said, "So, Vincent, I'm going to criticize you. My apprentice plays the piano so well, how could you sleep?"
Vincent McMahon hurriedly said: "This is my fault. I promise there won't be a next time!"
Xiao Peng wanted to say something more, but Felix came over and said, "Master!"
"Hey! Felix!" Xiao Peng said, "Come, let me introduce you. This is Vincent McMahon, the owner of WWE. He's good in everything except his artistic accomplishment. He actually fell asleep while you were playing just now!"
Vincent McMahon was about to explain when he heard Felix say, "Master, how dare you say that to me? You fell asleep too, okay? I see you're sleeping so soundly!"
Vincent McMahon stared at Xiao Peng with wide eyes after hearing this: "Did you fall asleep too?"
"How is that possible!" Xiao Peng retorted, "I was admiring it with my eyes closed!"
"Really? I doubt it!" said Vincent McMahon.
Felix also said, "Master, I can see everything clearly from up there because of the light. You're drooling in your sleep!"
Xiao Peng's face flushed: "You're mistaken! How could I possibly drool? You've grown up, and you still dare to cause trouble for the master? Where's your girlfriend? Can you take a look now?"
At this time, changing the subject is the clear choice!
After hearing this, Felix said, "Master, I'll go pack my things first and bring them to you later, okay? Why are you so gossipy?"
Xiao Peng glared at him, "I'm your master, and you still dislike my gossip? Well, I'll go over there and have a cigarette while I wait for you."
"Can I not bring my girlfriend?"
"What do you think?"
Felix left with a sad face. Xiao Peng and the others stood up and went to the balcony.
"Why are you so concerned about your apprentice's emotional problems?" asked Vincent McMahon.
Xiao Peng couldn't tell him it was just for fun, could he? He said seriously, "Since I'm his master, of course I have to be responsible for him. This kid is good in every way, but he's always had that Oedipus complex, you know? His last girlfriend turned out to be his classmate's mother! I was so angry when I found out!"
"What's there to be angry about?" Vincent McMahon said, "As long as he likes it, that's fine!"
Xiao Peng said, "But how old was he then? Well, he's not that old now, but he should be more mature, right? I just saw a lot of young girls watching his performance, maybe one of them is his girlfriend. This is finally a bit more normal, right? It's worth my education!"
When they reached the balcony, they found that someone was already there: a man and a woman were hugging each other and kissing passionately, and they did not let go even when they heard the door open.
Vincent McMahon curled his lips: "Oh, French."
Xiao Peng also curled his lips: "Oh, French."
Pascal spoke up: "Fabian, it's time to rest. Aren't you afraid of suffocating to death?"
Well, it turns out that it was Fabian hugging and kissing him there! With his back to the door, Xiao Peng didn't even recognize him.
After hearing this, Fabian quickly separated from the girl. He didn't care if other people came in, but he would certainly feel embarrassed if someone he knew came in.
"Hey, where did you go just now? I looked around but couldn't find you." Fabian said hurriedly.
Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "You really want to hide from us, right? How can you find us?"
"Why would I hide from you?" Fabian protested. "We're a loving family!"
Xiao Peng raised his eyebrows at the girl and asked, "Well, we're a loving family. Who is this? Why don't you introduce them?"
"Ah!" Fabian said hurriedly, "I would have introduced you even if you hadn't told me. Oh my God, you will never believe it, but I actually met my angel at this party! My heart was pounding the moment I saw her. She's the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with! She's... uh, what's your name?"
