191: Chapter 191: Fire Like a Song 191: Chapter 191: Fire Like a Song The sound of the piano was like a babbling spring, flowing through the night.
The Pastoral Symphony is a piece by the great musician Beethoven, composed after he was completely deaf, expressing his attachnt to nature, a work full of mories.
It is one of Beethoven’s most popular symphonies in the world.
Chen Yi’s hands danced and played on the keyboard, with a delicate, tranquil, and serene sound.
In the graceful piano sound, tens of thousands of audience mbers in the stadium quieted down, listening quietly to the flowing piano music.
Even Lin Fei had to admit that Chen Yi’s piano playing was quite good, as the entire audience was captivated by his music.
Of course, Lin Fei felt that Chen Yi’s piano skills were still far inferior to his senior sister’s and at most were similar to his own level.
The first movent of the Pastoral Symphony ended, and all the audience applauded and cheered.
Especially those female fans who adored Chen Yi, who scread hoarsely: “Chen Yi, you’re amazing!”
“Support Chen Yi!”
…
Amid the applause and cheers, Chen Yi was secretly delighted: For today’s performance, he had practiced this first movent of the Pastoral quite a bit, and now it seed that his efforts were recognized by everyone.
His gaze turned to Yuan Yuxi, thinking she would look at him with appreciation, but when he glanced at her, he found that Yuxi was neither looking at him nor at the speech in her hand but looking at Lin Fei in the audience.
She looked at Lin Fei with gentle, admiring eyes, and there was a slight elegant smile on her beautiful face.
Chen Yi’s hand on the keys suddenly clenched into a fist: Yuxi, what on earth does Lin Fei have that I don’t, that makes your eyes see only him and not ?
With difficulty, he suppressed the jealousy and anger in his heart, stood up from the bench, and went to the front of the stage to bow to all the audience once again.
In the applause, Chen Yi walked off the stage.
At this mont, in the front row of seats, Principal Zhu asked Mayor Luo, sitting beside him: “Mayor, what do you think of Chen Yi’s performance of the first movent of the Pastoral?”
Mayor Luo said calmly: “I can only say it has the form, but it didn’t capture the emotion of the piece; it is pleasant to the ears but does not touch the inner soul.”
After Mayor Luo’s words, Principal Zhu and the other teachers, as well as other officials, all felt it was indeed the case.
Although Chen Yi’s piano piece sounded beautiful, it didn’t completely move or shock them at an emotional level, let alone elevate their souls through the music.
Principal Zhu nodded: “Indeed, this piece is beautiful, but it lacks the real emotional impact.
However, Lin Fei is about to perform, and we can hear that deeply moving suona piece.”
Mayor Luo’s face also showed an expression of anticipation.
Since that night under the late Old Mrs.
Liang’s building, when he heard Lin Fei playing the suona for “Farewell My Red Army,” he had repeatedly thought about hearing the suona piece again these days.
It was like an addiction, and only Lin Fei’s suona could satisfy it.
The four great flowers of the school appeared on stage again, smiling, with Qin Zimo speaking first: “A Pastoral piece brings us a peaceful and beautiful mood.
Next, we will perform a suona piece.”
Yuan Yuxi continued: “The suona is a folk instrunt, widely known.
Lin Fei from the first year will use the suona to perform a classic revolutionary song, ‘Farewell My Red Army’!”
“Let’s welco Lin Fei’s suona performance of ‘Farewell My Red Army’, and our host Yuan Yuxi will sing affectionately!
Let’s give them a round of applause!” said Wang Yixin and Zhang Ruoxi in unison.
Although Wang Yixin felt unhappy about Yuxi and Lin Fei performing together, she couldn’t change the arranged program.
Lin Fei took the stage, and imdiately many male and female students around him cheered loudly: “Support Lin Fei!”
“Go Lin Fei!”
The audience cheering and supporting Lin Fei amounted to thousands, with a spectacular volu.
This made Chen Yi, who had just stepped down from the stage and was sitting in the audience, feel surprised: Why are there so many supporters for Lin Fei?
It seed he hadn’t heard of Lin Fei being particularly famous.
Of course, if he knew that Lin Fei, within the day, had consecutively defeated the tennis prince, the Wind and Cloud Team, the swimming queen, and won the gold dal in the painting exhibition, he wouldn’t feel Lin Fei wasn’t famous.
Instead, he would find him very well-known, and it would feel normal for so many people to support him now.
Indeed, the thousands of fans supporting Lin Fei at this mont were those who started supporting him after Lin Fei successively won first place in the tennis, basketball, and swimming competitions.
Lin Fei smiled, waved to his fans, and bowed to the leaders of the city and school.
Then, holding a suona, Lin Fei stepped back to the center of the stage, while Yuan Yuxi also stepped out from the hosts’ team to join him.
She also bowed to everyone below the stage, and imdiately, many of Yuan Yuxi’s fans called out to her: “Support our goddess Yuan Yuxi!”
However, when Lin Fei raised the suona in his hand, all the chatter halted, and everyone’s eyes focused on Lin Fei.
Mayor Luo and Principal Zhu had looks of anticipation in their eyes, while Wang Yixin quietly stared at Lin Fei from the side of the stage.
As for Qin Zimo’s expression, it had a tinge of doubt; she hadn’t expected Lin Fei to participate in the swimming competition and then perform at the evening event.
And he was playing the suona, which is not a popular instrunt; could he really play sothing beautiful?
Moreover, she didn’t expect that the top flower of the school, Yuan Yuxi, wouldn’t collaborate with the piano prince but would willingly perform with Lin Fei, singing for him.
What kind of charm does Lin Fei have to make Yuan Yuxi so willing to perform with him?
Qin Zimo looked at Lin Fei on stage – the one who won against her in the swimming competition, who massaged and treated her, even claiming to be her boyfriend – and she suddenly wanted to find out what kind of person he was.
Only Chen Yi below the stage was full of disdain.
He didn’t believe that Lin Fei’s suona would sound better than his piano?
Lin Fei placed the mouthpiece with the copper pipe of the suona into his mouth, fingers positioned over the eight holes on the pipe body, lifted his head, with the suona’s bell facing the sky.
As he blew, fingers released and pressed over the eight holes, and imdiately, a stirring and lodic suona sound rang out over the football field.
The captivating lody instantly grasped everyone’s heart; the suona’s sound pierced through their hearts, evoking an indescribable emotional storm inside them.
It felt like a storm was coming, and at the sa ti like the world was changing, life arising everywhere, with delicate monts like autumn rain, and impassioned monts blazing like a song.
As the suona reached its emotional depth, it brought tears to one’s eyes, and in its twists and turns left people choking with emotion, hearts turning repeatedly.
Amid the suona sound, Yuan Yuxi opened her jade-like voice, and the revolutionary old song of fiery years floated over the field: “Sending off (ligger) the Red Army, (this) down the mountain
Autumn rain (ligger) drizzles, (this) autumn wind chills
Tree by tree (ligger) phoenix trees, leaves fall completely
Emotions (ligger) many thousand, pressing on the heart
