Chapter 328: 346, A good al is worth waiting for.
Tong Xi glanced around the audition hall, and indeed there were many musical instrunts arranged: pianos, accordions, guzhengs, erhus, suonas, trombones, and even a drum set!
However, she didn’t choose any of those, but instead turned and walked to the corner of the room, plucked a leaf from a potted plant, placed the leaf flat against her lips, slightly parted her right index and middle fingers to support the back of the leaf, and used her thumb to hold the lower edge of the leaf, then gently started to play it.
That instant, not only was Quentin stunned, but Shen Yunqing sitting behind the glass wall was also frozen in shock.
She actually chose to do it this way?
With her lips slightly pursed, a vivid green leaf resting on her tender lips, the sight of her red lips and the green leaf deeply impacted everyone.
Soon, a beautiful yet sorrowful lody began to play.
It was—”Butterfly Lovers”!
In the West, there are love stories like Roo and Juliet, Cleopatra and Antony, Odysseus and Penelope, while in China, there are stories of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, ng Jiangnu and Fan Xiliang, the Legend of the White Snake, and especially Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
The tragic love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai has been heralded as an eternal masterpiece of love, with the “Butterfly Lovers” resonating through the ages.
Now, Tong Xi, using only a leaf, played “Butterfly Lovers” in such a refreshing manner that even Quentin was incredibly impressed.
She didn’t confine herself to the existing instrunts but instead blazed her own trail, expressing herself in this unique manner to portray her understanding of love.
Such a bright and spirited girl, truly one of a kind!
Shen Yunqing sat behind the glass wall, his gaze fixed intently on Tong Xi.
This kind of girl… if she were to fall in love with a man, what kind of breathtaking and stirring love story would it be?

At that ti, people waiting outside also heard the lingering, mournful “Butterfly Lovers” from inside.
The sound was unlike any regular musical instrunt! However, the lody was so touching that it felt heart-wrenching, sorrowful.
He Yunzhi felt her whole body stiffen.
Although she had lost hope, Tong Xi had been inside for a significant amount of ti, even beginning to showcase her skills.
It was notable that several girls before hadn’t even had the chance to show their skills before being sent out.
That ans… does Tong Xi still have a chance?

The captivating lody finally stopped, and Tong Xi removed the leaf from her lips, her pure gaze focusing on Quentin who was visibly excited, his blue eyes filled with brilliant light.
He strode forward, grasped Tong Xi’s hand, his lips quivering, and even his goatee was trembling.
“Fantastic! Tong Xi, it’s you!”
At that mont, Shen Yunqing leisurely sat in the big chair, resting his chin in his hand, watching the scene unfold from behind the glass wall, a hint of a smile on his enchanting face and his deep, peach blossom eyes twinkling.
Little Chili, not bad!
Shen Yunqing put on headphones and through the microphone said to Quentin, “Congratulations! You’ve finally found the leading lady you were satisfied with!”
Quentin laughed heartily.
“This really lives up to that Chinese saying, good things co to those who wait!”
Tong Xi was montarily confused. Director Quentin… who is he talking to?
But, these were not her concerns to worry about; after all, she had unexpectedly landed the perfu endorsent, sothing she had never dread of.
Mm-hmm, Yunzhi must be thrilled to hear this news!
Also, she must share this good news with Xiaoyu after she steps out!
