879: Chapter 0879: Masquerade Ball 879: Chapter 0879: Masquerade Ball Cao Ling, along with Wu Shuang in casual attire and another bodyguard, stood outside watching.
Ye Qiu’s performance of mimicry just now had truly stunned Cao Ling.
She had thought that mimicry was rely sothing ntioned in ancient novels, but to her surprise, it actually exists, and even this lost art is sothing Ye Qiu is skilled at.
Originally, Ye Qiu’s mysterious dical skills had already amazed Cao Ling.
But now, Ye Qiu’s talent for performance left her utterly speechless.
During the subsequent piano performance, Cao Ling could only remain silent.
She could only conclude that Ye Qiu must be multi-talented, a truly versatile individual—how else could anyone be good at so many things?
“Miss, he’s done performing.
Shall we leave?”
Wu Shuang asked.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Cao Ling, Wu Shuang, and the other bodyguard left Jin University Campus, got into their car outside, and headed back toward the military region.
…
When Ye Qiu descended from the stage, the boys and girls in his class started viewing him differently.
If Ye Qiu was rely a national top scorer in the college entrance exam, that wasn’t particularly extraordinary.
After all, there are quite a few top scorers every year.
However, the performance talent Ye Qiu displayed was sothing they knew not every top scorer could match.
“Brother Qiu, if I were a girl, I’d definitely fall madly in love with you!”
Luo Yang exclaid.
“Why?”
“Because you’re incredible!”
Ye Qiu chuckled softly and replied, “This?
It’s nothing impressive.”
Su Luoluo sat on a low stool in her class, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Even though at the graduation party after the college entrance exams, Su Luoluo already knew Ye Qiu sang beautifully.
But she never imagined that Ye Qiu’s piano playing would be so remarkable.
And even that wasn’t the full extent.
Su Luoluo rely felt that she had truly underestimated Ye Qiu back then, only seeing him as a timid and cowardly underachiever.
She realized now that Ye Qiu couldn’t have just recently learned piano—he must have mastered it long ago but simply hadn’t showcased it.
“Luoluo, what’s wrong?”
A girl sitting nearby asked in confusion.
“It’s nothing.”
Su Luoluo replied.
…
The freshman talent show continued with several more performances, but once the climax of the evening had passed, the subsequent acts seed to lose their luster and felt sowhat lackluster.
When the leaders below scored the night’s programs, it was a given: Ye Qiu was bound to win first place.
One performance featured Ye Qiu’s mimicry, while another showcased his piano rendition of “Eastern Fantasy.” Initially, professors from other faculties couldn’t believe that Ye Qiu was a clinical student in the dical academy.
But after witnessing Ye Qiu’s exceptional talent in performance and piano, professors from the music academy slowly began to see him as a groundbreaking talent.
Those professors believed that in this world, having one more doctor doesn’t make much of a difference, but the number of outstanding pianists in the country is scarce.
Apart from Lang Lang, there seems to be no one else who is globally acclaid.
Now, with Ye Qiu’s ergence, Jin University’s Music Academy and even the faculty of performance arts saw a newfound hope.
This exceptional young man was soone worth fiercely competing for.
Lin Wanqing had thought her own piano performance at this freshman talent show was the best.
But after hearing Ye Qiu play, she realized she couldn’t compare.
She felt her performance was not even a tenth as good.
Not to ntion the piece “Eastern Fantasy,” even his rendition of “Fairy Tale” made her feel inferior.
As the piano was being moved off the stage, although Lin Wanqing hadn’t gotten a clear look at Ye Qiu’s face—hidden behind the scholar’s mask—she felt herself deeply drawn to his musical talent.
In Jinling, there were hardly any renowned ntors capable of guiding her to a higher level.
Upon seeing Ye Qiu perform just now, Lin Wanqing thought he might make an excellent teacher.
Lin Wanqing considered ntioning to her parents the idea of inviting Ye Qiu to beco her instructor.
Perhaps he could help her reach new heights.
As Ye Qiu sat chatting with Luo Yang and others, the incredulous counselor, Song Ying, walked over.
Even now, she hadn’t fully processed what had just transpired.
She had initially thought this was rely a politically mandated task for Ye Qiu to take on casually, but unexpectedly, he had excelled beyond imagination.
Just who was Ye Qiu?
His academic results were so outstanding!
His dical skills were both impressive and mysterious!
And now his mimicry and piano performance—it seed anything he touched surpassed the realm of ordinary people.
“Counselor, why are you staring at like that?”
Ye Qiu looked at Song Ying as she approached, puzzled.
“Not bad, you’ve completed my task very well.”
Song Ying replied.
…
At ten-thirty in the evening, the freshman talent show finally concluded.
After the leaders below finalized the results, the male and female emcees announced the winners of the night.
Ye Qiu’s two acts earned top prizes: his mimicry performance won the special prize, while his piano rendition of “Eastern Fantasy” won first prize.
As for “Fairy Tale,” it was excluded since it was an impromptu performance.
Ye Qiu alone won the two highest freshman talent show awards, totaling thirty thousand yuan in prize money, which left his classmates even more astounded.
When Ye Qiu was called to accept the awards, he said, “Counselor, please go up and get them for .
I don’t feel like going up again.”
Song Ying had no choice but to accept the awards on Ye Qiu’s behalf.
After the award ceremony ended, the male and female emcees closed the freshman talent show and transitioned into the much-anticipated masquerade ball.
Undoubtedly, this was what students had been looking forward to most.
Originally, among the students, very few wore scholar masks.
However, inspired by Ye Qiu’s thrilling performance, many boys started donning scholar masks.
anwhile, Ye Qiu swapped his scholar mask for a Spider-Man one.
When Liu Lingxiu texted him asking his whereabouts, Ye Qiu replied, “Stay where you are.
I’ll co find you!”
Now wearing a Spider-Man mask, Ye Qiu made his way to Liu Lingxiu’s class.
Upon arriving, he saw her wearing a rabbit mask and looking around anxiously.
Liu Lingxiu hadn’t recognized Ye Qiu approaching with the scholar mask and thought he might not be able to find her.
“Lingshow!”
Ye Qiu wrapped his arms around her.
At first, Liu Lingxiu thought soone random was hugging her and struggled instinctively.
But upon detecting Ye Qiu’s familiar scent, she knew it was him.
“Why did you change your mask?
You scared —I thought it was soone else!”
“Where do you want to go?”
“I want to dance.”
By now, the sound of ballroom dancing filled the air.
However, most students weren’t skilled in dancing; the event seed more like an opportunity for male and female students to mingle and get to know each other.
Miss this evening, and such a chance might not co again tomorrow!
