Chapter 222 (2/2)
Zhao Jiayi was right on point, the reason behind the drastic improvement in music was because Zhao Youyue had experienced everything “Chu Luoxun” had been through, be it her happiness, sadness, and sufferings. There is a saying, “The road to success is not easy to navigate, but with hard work, drive and passion, it’s possible to achieve the American dream.”
This character, by far was the character that Zhao Youyue had spent the most time on, and of course, she had deep feelings for her.
In fact, Chu Luoxun was considered as the most important side character or even the main heroine in this particular novel. The previous iconic characters like “Xu Jing” or “Yu Shengfan” had significantly lesser appearances in their respective novels, but not Chu Luoxun, her appearance in the novel was on par with the main heroine, Lin Meiyue, and you can find her appearing in almost every chapter.
Other than Zhao Youyue’s parents, Han Leng too was at the theater; he was lurking about in one of the corners. He had thought that he had always given inaccurate descriptions of the atmosphere, mostly due to the fact that he had never been to one before, but surprisingly, it was quite accurate!
It was no surprise that many of his readers who participated in music competitions before asked him if he was had once been involved in the field. If he was indeed one of them, they would probably know his identity, after all, the field of classical music was not that vast, and people would certainly recognize a genius like him immediately.
Zhao Youyue, who resolved herself to becoming a “Humanoid Metronome” in order to win the competition had already attracted a lot of attention to herself.
What Han Leng did not expect was the size of the audience, they were so sparse. He would be deeply embarrassed if Zhao Youyue catches sight of him!
If he is misunderstood by others, it would turn out even worse, he no longer had a crush on Zhao Youyue, because he had his own Goddess Chu!
Whenever he is reminded that Mr. Qiu had swapped his place and had placed him beside Zhao Youyue, he would feel an immense headache. It would be best if he opposes this idea, because he was only close to Zhao Youyue in Wechat. In reality, he could not even speak ten words to her; it was extremely awkward. If it were not for the apology letter that Zhao Youyue had requested of Han Leng to write for her, they would not even know each other.
Han Leng believed that he should only keep in touch with Zhao Youyue in Wechat. What if his “inspiration” comes pouring in during class and he starts writing, only to be discovered by his deskmate, Zhao Youyue? Will Zhao Youyue beat him to death because his identity of “Leng Zi” had been exposed?
At that moment, the music competition finally started.
There were less than twenty contestants, and Zhao Youyue was the sixth to go on stage.
The content of this competition was to pick a song of your choice under a certain category, which was Mozart, and Zhao Youyue had picked a song title “I Palpiti” by N.Paganini, a flamboyant song that served well in showing off one’s skills. In fact, her heart was as still as calm water as she performed, and without any distraction, she would become a doll, playing the two songs perfectly, fitting her title as the “Humanoid Metronome.”
As the fourth contestant had already went on stage, Zhao Youyue started leaving her preparation room, only to discover a male violinist waiting for her in the corridor.
When he saw Zhao Youyue coming out from her room, he headed toward her and said, “Don’t you find the way you play the violin boring? Today, I’ll show you what real music is!”
