Chapter 348: b.u.mptious

s.h.i.+ Jingnian, the low-key troublemaker who had suggested that Zhao Youyue perform ”Feux follets,” had a brief flash of surprise in his eyes . But soon, he was immersed in the sound of the piano . He seemed to listen more attentively than the others . It appeared that he had the most attainments in cla.s.sical music among all the others present .

Zhao Youyue, or rather, Chu Luoxun's 'Spiritual music' characteristic, sent even ordinary laymen into a daze, even if she performs the most technical, drone-like pieces . Even so, professional musicians would be able to understand such beauty in a more profound manner .

s.h.i.+ Jingnian was embarra.s.sed by the turn of events . To him, getting embarra.s.sed and making a fool of himself in such an occasion, was a bargain in exchange of enjoying such perfect music, while appreciating an even more perfect girl .

After the song ended, s.h.i.+ Jingnian was the first to applaud . Even so, he still seemed to be holding himself back, unlike the others who went crazy, displaying a sharp contrast between them . Some already could not help approaching towards Zhao Youyue to praise her .

Zhao Youyue responded cheerfully and generously to these people who had been influenced by her music when she was still in her ”Chu Luoxun's possession” mode . Even Ding Yuncong could not help approaching her and said solemnly, ”Miss Zhao Youyue, your music made me see the beauty of cla.s.sical music for the first time ever in my life . Thank you very much!”

Zhao Youyue flashed a brilliant smile . This was precisely Chu Luoxun's heart's desire, no matter what world she was in . She hoped to bring happiness to more people through her music, showing them the beauty of music, no matter the genre or instrument .

”Actually, you would get a firmer grasp if you listened to such a symphony in a concert hall . Such effects would only appear during live performances,” Zhao Youyue explained .

However, Ding Yuncong was unconvinced . He felt that no music at any concert hall could be compared to what Zhao Youyue just played . His eyes and ears had thoroughly enjoyed themselves . Her fingers working their rapid magic on the piano keys had been truly mesmerizing .

As per everyone else's unanimous request, Zhao Youyue played another Chu Luoxun's original piano piece . It wasn't as dazzling, but it resonated closer to the heart . But it was as if the music had turned into a motherly figure caressing all her ”children” who were present with love and tenderness…

After the performance of the two piano pieces, all the guests present had been utterly conquered by Zhao Youyue's music . With envy, jealousy, and hate, Ding Yuncong hissed at Zhao Hao, ”Why did you have such an excellent sister? Wouldn't it be extremely great to be able to listen to her music every single day?!”

Seeing Ding Yuncong lose his composure, Zhao Hao was utterly satisfied . His sister Zhao Youyue had given his reputation a huge boost . He replied proudly, ”She still live streams . You should drop by more often . ”

Ding Yuncong replied, ”How would live streaming replicate this scene I've just taken with my own senses? How about this? What if I call her my sister as well?”

”Get lost! How old are you? Still aiming for young girls? How shameless are you!” Zhao Hao refused decisively . He treasured her sister Youyue very much .

Ding Yuncong immediately explained, ”Don't get me wrong . She's the little princess of your Zhao family . How will I dare to have any other thoughts? I simply want a new sister!”

”There are actually still people like you who want to steal the 'brother's' position! But my answer is still 'NO . ' I am her one and only brother!”

”Pttttf, I didn't expect you to be so stingy, Zhao Ritian . I'm too lazy to bother you . I'll go please her directly . ”

Zhao Youyue's successful performance made everyone forget about s.h.i.+ Jingnian . Yet, s.h.i.+ Jingnian remained unruffled, as if he possessed no self-esteem at all . He remained as calm as ever . He started eating watermelons by himself .

However, his girlfriend, Lin s.h.i.+ya said longingly, ”That Lady Zhao is simply too amazing . It's my first time meeting such a perfect girl!”

”In my eyes, you're the most perfect one there is . ” s.h.i.+ Jingnian smiled warmly, and fed her a piece of cantaloupe .

”You've always had such a thick face . That sounded so disgusting sweet!” Although Lin s.h.i.+ya said so, her actions proved otherwise .
