Studying in Tokyo: From Provoking to Succubus

Chapter 36 Performance? This is a performance!

Mingwu Private High School, gymnasium.

The music department is performing a symphony.

The concerto of many instruments creates a rich performance.

Li Xin was standing backstage, holding two gift boxes in his hands.

These are the two pieces of clothing he bought last night.

One was a white evening dress for Kawai Mion, and the other was a suit for himself.

But there was no need for that now, as he was going on stage alone, he didn't even think about changing his clothes, so he just wore his school uniform.

So he put the gift box on the table next to him.

He is now thinking about what song to perform next?

He didn't have time to think, because the music department's performance had ended and the audience left one after another with happy smiles on their faces. The performance went very smoothly.

The stage logistics staff brought the microphone over to Li Xin, then looked around him in confusion.

"Uh, aren't there two people? Where's the other one?" asked the logistics staff.

"I'm alone, and the other guy isn't feeling well today."

The logistics staff quickly took out the program list and took a look.

The next performance is piano + singing. Isn’t this something that only two people can do?
"Is everything ok?" the support staff asked.

"Don't worry. I don't need the microphone. I just play the piano." Li Xin returned the microphone to him.

"Oh, well, the piano is still on the stage. Thank you for your hard work. Please keep going."

Soon, Li Xin took a deep breath and walked onto the stage.

There were quite a lot of audience members at the school festival, including parents, students, and some adults who were bored and came to watch the youth of high school students.

Li Xin walked calmly to the piano and sat down.

Everyone was looking at him.

Li Xin looked down at the black and white piano keys, feeling both strange and familiar. It was a weird feeling. He had never learned piano so it was very strange, but the system gave him a year's memory of playing the piano, so it was very familiar.

Then he looked up at the audience.

The bright lights prevented him from seeing the faces of the people in the audience, but the blurry shadows showed that there were many people there.

Li Xin looked at the front of the stage again. Kawai Mion should be standing there today. She would wear a beautiful white dress, stunning everyone, and then sing beautifully when his piano sounded.

All those who looked down on her before would be shocked by her, noticing the beauty of her voice and her stunning appearance and would stare at this stunning beauty.

At the fence on the second floor of the auditorium, Qian Daoai was lying on the fence, staring at Li Xin on the stage.

"Playing the piano is so cool." She muttered expressionlessly.

"Qian Daoai, you are here to see Li Xin's performance too?" Hori Natsumi's voice suddenly came from the side.

She turned her head in surprise.

Natsumi Hori was recording the stage with her cell phone.

“I just happened to be here.”

"Is it a coincidence? I feel that you care about Li Xin a lot." Hori Natsumi teased.

Qian Daoai frowned, but couldn't refute it in her heart.

Ever since the first day Li Xin saw her secret on the rooftop and threatened him with photos, she couldn't swallow this humiliation and secretly vowed to make Li Xin look bad, but so far, she really couldn't find a way to defeat Li Xin.

When Kuroda Xiang came yesterday, he thought he still had a chance, so he immediately took Kuroda Xiang to find Li Xin. Unexpectedly, he was scared into surrender after being punched by Li Xin.

So, who can beat Li Xin? She thought in distress.

"Li Xin and I went to Demon High School yesterday." Hori Natsumi suddenly said.

Qian Daoai was startled when he heard this and turned to look at her.

"I wanted to investigate Uncle Kanna's past, so I went to Onimo High School to find their current boss, 'Miyamoto Sora'. You must have heard of this person, Uncle Kanna's favorite disciple, so I thought he should know a lot about Uncle Kanna. I didn't expect to meet Uncle Kanna's high school classmate. Thanks to him, I learned a lot of things." Hori Natsumi said happily. Li Xin casually pressed a key on the piano, which made a crisp sound.

The noisy gymnasium suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to the young man playing the piano on the stage.

Qian Daoai's attention was also attracted.

The melody of the second key, third key, and fourth key is slow but extremely attractive.

Moonlight Sonata, first movement
The quiet and beautiful piano music silenced the entire gymnasium.

Dadada~Dingdada~
The whole space echoes only with beautiful notes.

Everyone looked at Li Xin.

Moonlight Sonata, it is as if it is night time, the ceiling disappears out of thin air, and the elegant moonlight is bathing the venue.

Everyone's mood calmed down instantly.

Li Xin has been training piano day and night for a year, and his fingering technique is unique. He can play a piece of music with a mechanical equation, or he can play a piece of music with a different flavor according to his current mood.

Now, what Li Xin was thinking turned into music and floated into the air.

Under the quiet moonlight, everyone was enjoying this musical festival.

The second floor is the best viewing angle for the stage. Qian Daoai looked at him in shock, listening to the beautiful music.

Is this a piano?

She was the daughter of a wealthy family. When she was a child, her mother had taken her to various high-end concert halls to listen to piano performances, symphonies and various classical music, but none of them could instantly attract her attention like the scene in front of her, at the first note.

Qian Daoliang seemed to want her to find a hobby, but she really wasn't into music. At the time, she just thought it was boring and nice to listen to. This was also her perception of music: nice but also boring. She could listen to it normally, but she really couldn't fall in love with it.

She stared at Li Xin's eyes in shock. Li Xin's slender hands moved on the piano, his eyes serious and determined.

Enter, Moonlight Sonata, Second Movement
Qian Daoai stared at the bright stage in a daze.

The lights in the auditorium were off. The only brightly lit place was the stage. At that moment, everyone's attention was focused there, and the young man sitting in front of the piano was the center of attention.

"Wow~ so amazing!" Hori Natsumi exclaimed, shifting her gaze from the phone screen to the stage.

Everyone in the venue looked as shocked as Hori Natsumi did at this moment.

Maybe some people don’t understand piano, but their ears can hear the beauty of this song, and their hearts can feel the inexplicable emotion.

"It's amazing, nice to listen to but not boring," Qian Daoai murmured with her mouth slightly opened.

As the tempo quickens, the third movement of Moonlight Sonata begins.

Fast beat!

Li Xin's fingers moved faster, moving back and forth on the keys rapidly.

Qian Daoai's eyes were fixed on him.

A few beads of sweat also appeared on his forehead, but he was smiling.

A stormy melody.

A storm came under the moonlight, with passionate emotions and high morale, and the young man on the stage seemed to be fighting on the lake shining under the moonlight.

"Wow! Li Xinjun's piano skills are so good and his speed is so fast that I can't even see his hands clearly." Hori Natsumi exclaimed.

Qian Daoai turned her head to look at her, then looked at Li Xin in confusion.

It's so fast? Is that all you noticed?
Don't you see his expression now? Those determined eyes and the almost crazy smile on his face.

He is not playing the piano, he is performing, performing the quietness and frenzy under the moonlight!

Qian Daoxin's heart trembled slightly, and he pressed his hand on his chest. His heart seemed to be in sync with the rapid beat.

"Hori Natsumi, you took the video, right? Send me a copy later."

"Huh? Oh, okay."
