Chapter 203 (1/2)

The ensemble of Gu Yuan and Lin Meiyue was indeed very successful. However, Gu Yuan's piano was the main character while her violin was merely an accompaniment…

Gu Yuan had never thought of trying to improvise with Lin Meiyue; he played according to his tempo. In the beginning, it seemed like he was venting his anger out. Then, he thought of his mother, who loved him the most, again and not his inner demons.

The reason his mother had treated him so strictly was due to the fact that she was running out of time. She felt that desperate urgency. She hoped that he could perform according to the taste of the judges. The more prizes he won, the more popular he would become. At least, he could make a living by playing the piano.

As they performed, Lin Meiyue felt for the first time, the stark difference between her and ”Chu Luoxun.” She simply could not attain that synchronicity that Chu Luoxun had with Gu Yuan in music. She was just a makeweight.

Nonetheless, she deeply remembered the ensemble of 'Chu Luoxun' and Gu Yuan. Their postures looked like they were going to battle, and they were competing to take the lead role. As a result, they managed to perform an amazing song.

It seemed that Lin Meiyue's innate nature as a side character had been fully displayed in this ensemble. The audiences were attracted by Gu Yuan as his ”Liebesleid” delivered the warmth of a mother's love.

He was gently stroking the piano, just like his mother had used to stroke his head…

He recalled an afternoon where he asked his mother why she chose ”Liebesleid” over ”Le plaisir d'amour.” She told him that he should get used to sorrow first.

Gu Yuan had completely said goodbye to his mother after he finished playing the ”Lielesbeid.” The soul of his mother which kept haunting him had disappeared, not in the way you think, it had entered his heart and gave him power!

At that moment, he suddenly came to realize that the one who made him choose this song was 'Chu Luoxun'!

She was the one who made him face his past again, genuinely understanding the most profound love of his mother for him and coming out entirely of his psychological trauma!

But, now, she was not the one who was performing together with him…

Strangely, he felt slightly lonely, for she did not hear this performance which made him feel as if he had been reborn.

This ”Lieslesbeid” had conquered not only the audiences, but also the violinist version of Gu Yuan. He too thought of the love of his mother. He was completely affected and, now, he looked at Gu Yuan with respect.

Thus, this violinist had walked up the stage as a new person, and performed a piece that could not be said to be a precise reproduction of the score!

Unfortunately, his scene was skimmed over, as he was not the main character.

'Chu Luoxun's' absence in this scene, was to dissect Gu Yuan's inner world, allowing him to come out from the shadows of his mother altogether. Previously, many readers had complained that they hated this cold-hearted mother who caused him the loss of his musical soul, but, they were about to get a slap on their faces, as the deep love of his mother was the real tearjerker!

This plot was exceptionally emotional!

Of course, the image of Gu Yuan as a handsome pianist was building up in the heart of the readers.

For Gu Yuan, perhaps the death of his mother was a regretful matter, but it would push him to take a great leap in his musical journey, as long as he manages to come out from the trauma…

Regrettably, he could not make it by himself, until he met her.

Then, the question arose. Where was the absent 'Chu Luoxun'?
