Chapter 323 (1/2)

A Leisurely Play

The Chairlady of this New Year’s Eve Party event was the deputy headmistress of the school, named Song Xiaoxia. She was just leaving the hall when Zhao Youyue started to play the piano.

After a few days of rehearsal, Song Xiaoxia was satisfied, especially when it came to the flawless presentation of the two hosts, Zhao Youyue and Huang Zhongzhao. The solos were not perfect, but they were good enough. Only the collective performances such as the choir were giving her a headache, like mice dropping from the ceiling into a saucepan of otherwise perfect broth.

Song Xiaoxia was a math teacher before being appointed as a deputy headmistress, and she was a math teacher who dearly loved music. She immersed herself into the mesmerizing piano tune played by Zhao Youyue, but a thought came to mind

Wasn’t Zhao Youyue playing the violin? Where did she pull out such an imposing piano performance?

Song Xiaoxia soon found that Zhao Youyue was far captivating with the piano skill than what she could do with the violin!

Such a remarkable piano performance! It would be a waste not showcase it on the stage for all the leaders, alumni and guests!

Zhao Youyue finished the whole “B comme Brise,” composed by the avatar of the music God, Chu Luoxun, and ended her mobile phone recording.

Even though her Fruit Mobile Phone was the newest model in the market, using nothing but the latest technology among the local mobile phones, it was clear to her that “B comme Brise’s” Spiritual power had failed to translate into the digital language. The recording carried none of its power.

It was exactly the same as her mastering the recipe of those “illuminating cuisine.” Others might not be able to reproduce the same cuisine, even if they followed every step, down to the twitching of her fingers.

Likewise, her phone could not reproduce it. One had to present as she performed Chu Luoxun’s music, in order to experience that ideal form of music.

After Zhao Youyue was finished with the track, the hall was pin-drop silent. It was in the middle of chilling winter, yet those few audiences left in the hall were still basking in the peak of spring.

A single clap stirred everyone else, and was quickly followed by a thundering applause. That Erhu performer Wang Shun clapped his palms with extreme gusto, his face locked in a frozen mask of awe!

How could this violinist bring a piano to life?!

Such a beautiful piano piece had to be well-known, yet he knew nothing of it!

She couldn’t have composed it herself, could she?

No! It is impossible!

Wang Shun convinced himself to rather believe that Zhao Youyue had been born in a wealthy family. They had to have the connections and wealth to hire a well-known musician to compose a song for her.

She could not be that talented, could she?

While Wang Shun was deeply affected by Zhao Youyue’s performance, he was also affected by an overwhelming sense of inferiority. Music was a cruel world, where innate talent determined the limit of a musician at birth!
