The girl bowed toward the glass again, her fingertips brushing over the hem of her skirt, feeling every natural wrinkle. When her body touched the piano stool, it was like a feather floating on the water.

Every place is familiar, and the distance is just right, except that the lights above are very bright, too bright.

There was a blank in my sight.

The first piece of music was Chopin's Farewell Etude. There was no score, so I played it entirely from memory.

Ruoye Mu couldn't hear the sounds outside.

At this moment, the pianists didn't care and were still discussing the previous topic. Only her teacher crossed his arms and stared at her.

The girl's fingers pressed the first note, and instantly everyone was attracted and cast their gazes towards the performance room.

The level is not low.

The performance has begun, and the expressions of all the pianists gradually become solemn.

This level...fifteen years old?

But halfway through the performance, everyone realized that the girl's playing was emotionless.

"strangeness."

"Quiet!"

In an instant, the show fell into silence, with only the hum of the piano in the air.

I don’t know why, but my fingers are so flexible, I play so smoothly, and the song is so simple.

The technique was completely different from his previous ones. At this moment, Ruo Yemu really had the illusion that he was connected to the piano.

But the light... is so dazzling.

I can't see clearly anymore.

Chopin's Farewell Etude is not long, and there are slight pauses between the two performances.

The second song is Liszt's Dream of Love.

Mu knew that Ai liked this song very much and often practiced it in the basement.

She couldn't play it completely before, but she still loved practicing.

At this moment, place your fingers on the keys, gently press the first note, and your fingers will start moving by themselves.

Ah, it’s getting harder and harder to see.

The song begins slowly with a slow beat and soft chords. After a while of faster beats, the emotions in the girl's heart become more and more intense.

Listening to the music, I seem to be able to see love.

In fact, I hope you stay with me.

Volume 1: Chapter 63: Promise

This piano piece is incredibly beautiful, with a gentle continuity and rhythm, as if it is expressing silent love.

From the beginning to the peak and then to the end, every detail is handled perfectly and every rhythm is arranged appropriately.

It’s almost over, it’s almost over, just a little bit, and this perfect performance will be over.

There was only one thought in my mind, which was to not make any mistakes and to play this piece well.

A dream of love, played to my love.

When she finished playing, her body couldn't stop shaking. She lay on her back, staring at the light above her head. She opened her mouth slightly, tears rolling down her eyes.

For a moment, the audience was still quiet.

She did not stand up and bow immediately, but sat in the chair until her vision gradually became clear.

Love, will you come to see me?

But no one said anything. The girl was stunned for nearly a minute. When her breathing gradually stabilized, she remembered to bow.

She faced the floor-to-ceiling window, bowed to the camera and the pianist outside, and left the studio.

There was a burst of applause outside, and finally everyone applauded, including the staff in the audience, and the applause turned into thunderous applause.

"It's really shocking. This level is really scary. I feel that if I go up there to perform, I will only be able to perform at this level." The first person to speak was a male pianist.

"Not really, not at all. It's certainly scary, but among Liszt's pieces, 'Dream of Love' is below average in difficulty."

"It's not easy to express such rich emotions. Compared with the previous song, the difference is too big, isn't it?"

"There's no way to cheat here. Everyone's watching. You play really well. You can compete with us."

"I think there's something wrong with her treatment. Is it a little different from the score?"

"If everyone plays the same thing, why don't you listen to the record?"

"Well, fifteen years old, right? That's worth encouraging. I'm afraid Japan will have another one."

"The first piece is pretty good too, right? Technically it's very strong, but it lacks emotion. The second piece is perfect."

"This kid's technique for the first piece is undeniably strong. The others are simply not on the same level."

"..."

Almost all of Japan's top pianists were sitting here, and they all recognized the girl's ability without exception, but they disagreed on the details of the dispute.

Minami Mori was so happy that she decided to ignore some of the unpleasantness before the show.

When the pianist asked her about her age, Mori Minami could hardly suppress the smile, and her years of acting skills allowed her to respond calmly.

"Yes, she's still a long way from being fifteen. I hope the teachers can give her some guidance."

"Ah~ That's not interesting when you say that, Mr. Mori."

"Yes, this is genius."

“It’s no exaggeration to say he’s a genius.”

"..."

The only person in the room who didn't express an opinion was Mu's teacher, whose expression was tinged with confusion.

She had known for a long time that Mu would occasionally have emotional instability problems, but his skills had improved so much all of a sudden. In the morning, he was still at the top level among fifteen-year-olds, so how could he suddenly show such strength?

But she said nothing. The facts were there, the piano playing would not lie.

When Ye Mu returns, the show will obviously give her more shots and she will no longer be treated as an accessory to Mori Minami.

A few people started discussing again. This kind of symposium is not interesting to begin with. I really don’t know who is watching.

After the show, the lounge.

The female pianist found Mori Minami, lit a cigarette and took a puff.

"you saw it."

"Very good, just as you said." Mori Minami was in an even better mood.

The female pianist smoked a cigarette. "But I'm talking about ten years from now. Her behavior today is not normal."

"Abnormal?" She looked puzzled.

"Yes, you should pay more attention to your daughter. I feel like she's in love."

After saying that, she took a deep puff of her cigarette, stood up and prepared to leave.

Mori Minami was left wondering how her daughter could play the piano at such a level.

But there are no boys in the band.

The show ended just like that.

The screen went black, reflecting the boy's face as he slid the mouse and looked at the comments below.

There's nothing good to see, everyone is just praising Mu.

It was indeed an excellent performance.

He turned off the video and looked at the girl beside him, "How do you feel?"

"Very good, better than me." Xiangzi lowered his head, feeling a little unwilling.

Normally, she would probably say hello, but Aragaki Ai knew nothing and had no intention of comforting her.

He just turned off the computer, looked at the time, and asked Xiangzi.

"You don't need me anymore, I have to go to school tomorrow, so I have to go back."

"Oh..." Xiangzi lowered his head and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.

"I'm just kidding. I'm going to read anyway. It doesn't matter if I stay with you for a while longer."

Aragaki Ai smiled, "You think I'm leaving?"

"You're right, you still have to go to school tomorrow." Xiangzi buried his head in his knees and could not see her face.

"how about you?"

"what?"

"School, aren't you going?"

After this sentence, there was a long silence and no one spoke anymore.

Until the sound of a cell phone vibrating, Aragaki Ai realized it was Xiangzi's phone and was about to hang up again.

He caught sight of the name on the screen and grabbed Xiangzi's wrist to stop her.

"Take it, you'd better tell Mu not to tell anyone about your affairs, otherwise... you know what will happen."

"........"

Xiangzi didn't hang up, which meant he listened to his advice. He moved his finger to the connect button and pressed it.

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, but the name made Xiangzi silent.

"like......?"

The two looked at each other, and Aragaki Ai casually said sorry and took her phone.

"it's me."

"Ok!"

"Listen to me, Mu." Aragaki Ai's voice was flat and she glanced at the girl beside her.

"Xiaoxiang is fine now, you don't have to worry. You probably won't be able to come out today. After the piano lesson tomorrow, you can contact Xiaoxiang and I will come to see you."

"Ah."

"Also, don't tell other students about Xiangzi. If anyone asks you, just keep silent."

Aragaki Ai could guess that if Su Shi couldn't find Xiangzi, she would definitely go to look for Mu.

"Ah."

There was a long pause on the other end of the line, as if he didn't want to hang up, and he left a final message.

"I will wait for love."

"Well, it's agreed. I'll come to see you after your piano lesson tomorrow." Aragaki Ai agreed to her again, speaking in a very light tone that she was very familiar with.

"Good night, have a good sleep."

"OK, good night."

After saying good night to each other, the phone was finally hung up. It was Aragaki Ai who took the initiative to hang up. If he didn't, Xiao Mutou probably never would have pressed the button.

After returning the phone to Xiangzi, she seemed to have no desire to talk. She still lay weakly in the corner of the sofa, wrapped herself in a thin blanket.

Aragaki Ai didn't say anything to comfort her, but just sat there quietly. She had already done a lot today, so there was no need to disturb Xiangzi anymore.

He stood up and wanted to get two more drinks, but he felt a force on his sleeve.
