Chapter 549 - Chase (1/2)

'Ting...'

The last note of the piano echoed throughout the hall.

Silence.

A few seconds later, the lights slowly brightened. The dim lighting over the audience faded as the warm golden glow strengthened until the hall was lit up. It was an indication that the first song had finished playing.

Some of the guests blinked to adjust their vision.

Was it already done?

It seemed like they fell into some sort of spell.

The slender lady in the dazzling white dress stood up in front of the piano and bowed gracefully. It was the cue wherein the audience finally awakened themselves from the moving performance and moved their hands. Everyone applauded heartily.

The musical genius was not just an empty title, it seemed. Their hearts were still brimming with the after effects which the music had tantalizingly brought out, filling them with various kinds of emotions.

Tang Yin smiled like a meek princess as she received the praises of the guests.

”Thank you for coming to my first concert in the country, everyone. The first piece I played is my original composition titled 'Desire'. It's a music piece that hopes to bring out the slumbering passion in our hearts. Everyone here has something they wish for, something that pushes them to do everything it takes in order to attain it. I hope that this song is able to remind you of your dreams and desires that pushes you forward on your path.”

The audience generously clapped once more.

While speaking, Tang Yin's eyes discreetly combed through the audience. She was searching for someone.

Finally, Tang Yin found her target on the second row.

A dashing man in a handsome suit.

Tang Yin's eyes brightened.

She created that music piece with passion, fueled by her desire to be with Linfeng. Tang Yin was about to open her mouth and recount the story of how she made the composition, when a woman's face barged in her vision.

The woman's long phoenix eyes squinted at Tang Yin while blocking Tang Yin's view of Linfeng.

Linfeng who was suddenly pushed back by Xiong Zhi: ”...”

”...” Tang Yin reluctantly moved her eyes away, but was suddenly met by a pair of blue eyes and soft silvery white hair.

Because Lu Yin Ze was on the first row, Tang Yin could see him clearly and rather up close when she stood in front of everyone. The slight distance did not lessen the l.u.s.ter on the pair of blue eyes at all.

Lu Yin Ze was absentmindedly looking at Tang Yin's direction. He was looking at her but his attention was not entirely on her. His mind had already floated with the song he just heard. Lu Yin Ze was a person who liked music and had discerning ears, so listening to the grand play of the composition stirred his heart greatly.

Tang Yin withdrew her gaze and continued on with her speech. ”I made this piece when I was still on my early teens, but I have never played it since it is incomplete. I only managed to complete it three years ago when I went to seclusion to develop my music. It is a great honor to present it finally to the world, with a great audience such as yourselves. Thank you for listening. I hope you liked it.” Tang Yin bowed her head elegantly, her white neck appearing more graceful and fragile.

The audience clapped.

The old people on the tables at the foremost row threw praises at Mistress Tang.

”You have a talented granddaughter.”

”What a sensible child.”

Although she knew that they might just be blowing rainbow farts, Mistress Tang still happily smiled. She was proud of her granddaughter's exceptional talent, although the part of seclusion Tang Yin mentioned was in fact Tang Yin running away from home.

Mistress Tang's happiness then became slightly dampened.
