So even recognized Ye Shikai as the person who had recently fought hooligans on campus.
It was said Su Ziqing had invited soone from off-campus to perform, but to everyone’s surprise, it was actually him.
“Qingqing, Yaoyao, you don’t have to worry about , go and take care of the gala arrangents, I’ll prepare here on my own.” Ye Shikai sent the two girls away; he didn’t want to be strongly gawked at, and with such a large school event, there were many things that needed organizing.
He didn’t want to hold them back.
“Okay, Uncle, then I’ll head to the stage.
Rember to call if you need anything.”
“Brother-in-law, I’ll go first then.
You better perform well later.” Su Ziqing made a cheering gesture to Ye Shikai and also left the backstage.
Once the two girls had gone, Ye Shikai picked up the guitar from the box, took a handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully wiped the guitar down again.
Tonight, the piece he was going to play was of course “Love’s Romance.” Although this piece is not very difficult, it can even be considered entry-level, the implication of the piece varies with the perforr’s skill level.
The more simplistic the lody, the more it possesses the power to touch people’s hearts.
The most important thing about a piece is its soul, which cos from the perforr’s comprehension.
His understanding of this piece originated from a previous love experience that tore at his heart.
Ye Shikai looked at the program schedule, Han Ruoyao had specifically placed him last.
Could this little demon be intending him to be the finale?
Just like the many students performing, Ye Shikai sat quietly in the backstage, waiting for his turn, looking at the young, vibrant faces, and couldn’t help but rember his own youth, that unforgettable love, that once special person…
“Dear students, the gala is coming to an end soon.
Next up is our final, most anticipated act.
Are you all looking forward to it?” The voice of Su Ziqing ca from the stage.
Ye Shikai glanced from backstage to the stage; Su Ziqing was dressed in a light blue evening gown, exuding youthful vibes but maintaining a dignified appearance.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be the host of this gala.
“Yes!” The crowd responded enthusiastically.
This year’s gala was much better than the previous ones, so the closing act was definitely a highly professional performance, indeed sothing to look forward to.
“Now, let’s welco Mr.
Ye Shikai with a round of applause for his guitar piece ‘Love’s Romance’,” Su Ziqing announced, then turned and gave him a knowing smile.
Hearing his cue, Ye Shikai took a deep breath, stepped forward with a steady pace to the center of the stage.
“Who is that guy, do you guys know him?” a male student asked from the audience.
“Don’t know him, looks like he was brought by the school beauty, and he’s not from our school,” another replied.
“What?
What’s the relationship between him and the school beauty?
He even got brought to our school’s gala.”
“Don’t you guys think this guy is really handso?
I wonder if he has a girlfriend,” a girl nearby said, sowhat smitten.
“Psh, as if you’d have a chance.
Bet he’s the school beauty’s boyfriend,” another male student comnted.
“Hmph, as if you guys could actually woo the school beauty,” a female student retorted.
The noise of the crowd continued for a while, but as Ye Shikai began to play, the venue quieted down.
Ye Shikai gently placed his hand on the strings, and everyone held their breath, especially the two girls Han Ruoyao and Su Ziqing.
A few seconds later, Ye Shikai moved his hand, and with it, a beautiful lody began to linger in everyone’s ears.
The graceful and lodious music made everyone feel as if they were part of the scene, with each note dancing in their hearts.
No one spoke, because everyone was intoxicated, not wanting to break the wonderful atmosphere.
Ye Shikai activated his Inner Strength and continued to pluck the strings.
With the boost of Inner Strength, the tune was elevated, becoming even more lingering and touching.
The captivating music flowed through everyone’s heart, as if they could feel a power that reached deep into their souls.
Especially at the climax of the piece, the faces of Su Ziqing and Han Ruoyao even turned slightly red, as if they had tasted a sip of exquisite red wine.
At the astonishing final stroke, the piece reached its perfect mont, the reverberations hung in the air, and the music ended.
Silence.
The entire venue fell silent, everyone unresponsive as if they hadn’t realized the piece had ended.
A few seconds later, applause began from soone beneath the stage, and then everyone seed to wake up and began to clap, the sound reaching the skies.
One minute, two minutes, the applause lasted a full three minutes before dying down, and then the audience fell back into noise, “Wow, that was the most wonderful tune I’ve ever heard.
I’m definitely going to go up to him and confess my feelings,” a delicate-looking girl said.
“ too, after listening to his tune, I feel like I’ve been through an intense romance,” another girl chid in.
As for the male students below the stage, they all looked at Ye Shikai with admiring eyes, almost ready to kneel and worship.
In the front row of the audience, Han Ruoyao’s eyes were slightly red, and she felt like she was about to cry.
She was moved by the piece, the expression of love touched the most tender part of all the girls’ hearts.
Like Han Ruoyao, Su Ziqing’s eyes were also slightly red, imrsed in the notes, and it took her a long ti to realize that she was the host.
She quickly went on stage, adjusted her emotions, and said, “Everyone, tell , was Mr.
Ye’s performance good or what?”
“Good, good!” The crowd below burst into thunderous cheers again.
“Handso, I like you!” A girl’s voice ca from sowhere in the audience, and then…
“So do I.”
“Handso, I want to be your girlfriend.” …
The girls in the audience were like chickens injected with adrenaline, shouting one after another.
“Everyone, please quiet down.
Let’s ask Mr.
Ye to share his feelings about this piece,” Su Ziqing intervened in a tily manner, controlling the atmosphere and giving Ye Shikai an out.
Ye Shikai stood in place deep in thought for a dozen seconds before slowly saying, “This piece is to commorate soone, she ans a lot to .”
As soon as his words fell, the venue erupted into noise again, everyone asking who this person was.
Of course, Ye Shikai did not answer, as it was his own privacy.
Finally, after Su Ziqing delivered the closing remarks, the gala ended successfully.
Ye Shikai stood on the stage, watching as the crowd gradually dispersed.
At this mont, a white figure approached him.
Ye Shikai fixed his gaze, and saw the woman was dressed in a white gown, exuding an air of nobility all around her.
As he slowly looked at the woman’s face, his expression suddenly changed.
He had not expected her to co, and he quickly said, “Qingyu, why are you here?”
