Chapter 245.2: An Enchanting Melody (2/2)
Although Jun Xin had been looking at the stage the entire time, he had also been looking at her out of the corner of his eye. When he saw her shifting around uncomfortably, he reached out to rub her hair. “Stinkin’ woman, it’s fine. Just believe in yourself.”
Tang Doudou glanced at him strangely, a bit confused as to what he meant. However, when she saw the concern and doting affection in his eyes, she seemed to abruptly realize something.
“Jun Xin…” She opened her mouth and was just about to ask him something when a few bewitching notes from a guqin compelled her to look towards the stage.
Upon seeing this, Jun Xin hastily grabbed her hand and inserted some cold energy into her body.
Tang Doudou’s mind instantly cleared up and she realized what just happened. When she looked around, she saw that everyone was gazing with stupid fascination towards the figure that was gradually walking onto the stage.
“T-this guqin playing…” Tang Doudou wanted to ask Jun Xin about it but he made a shush motion towards her. She closed her mouth obediently even as her heart started pounding. This Mountain’s Clouds was seriously strange!
Just the sound of the guqin was enough to captivate a person’s soul and control their thoughts and actions. If it weren’t for the fact that she had just experienced it herself, she wouldn’t have believed it was possible.
She glanced over at Jun Xin and saw that his eyes were completely clear even as he stared at the figure on the stage with a hint of interest.
And yet he had refused to admit that he came because of Qing Moran. He was staring at the person so hard his eyeballs were practically about to fly over. Tang Doudou rolled her eyes as she silently spat out these comments.
Although Jun Xin wasn’t looking in this direction, he reached over and rubbed her head.
It was as if he was comforting her.
But what was he comforting her about?
She was completely fine… Tang Doudou continued silently roasting Jun Xin for being weird and the sound of the guqin eventually stopped.
After a few moments of complete silence, the audience slowly returned to their senses and thunderous applause filled the area. “Lady Qing’s skill at the guqin truly is impressive!”
“This melody truly belongs to the Heavens. It’s our great fortune to have a chance to enjoy it!”
“I have no regrets left in this life after being able to hear Lady Qing play!”
The room was filled with praises for Qing Moran and her playing. The only two who seemed unperturbed were Tang Doudou and Jun Xin.
When Tang Doudou heard what they said, she scratched her head in confusion. The music hadn’t sounded very beautiful to her though?
