Chapter 393: Chapter 0393: You Should Be Able to Kneel Now
Forget Fu Zibo getting angry, at this moment, probably anyone would have found it impossible to hold back their fury.
A perfectly good piano performance was directly sabotaged by Ye Xunhuan’s damn coin.
What is this?
It’s like a pot of fine porridge spoiled by a single rat dropping!
Instantly, everyone’s eyes turned towards Ye Xunhuan in unison. They knew that Fu Zibo had made a bet with someone, and surely Ye Xunhuan was that person, right?
The question is whether this guy has any real skills!
Facing Fu Zibo’s somewhat ferocious expression, Ye Xunhuan was completely indifferent and said lightly, "Mr. Fu, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. After all, you are a pianist, and I am just a small company employee!"
"Besides, the main reason is that you played so well that I couldn’t help myself!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Fu Zibo nearly spewed out a mouthful of blood. Couldn’t help yourself, or did you do it on purpose to make me look bad?
"Cut the crap and get up here to play!"
Fu Zibo glared at Ye Xunhuan angrily, thinking he must see whether you can play or not. If you can’t, I’ll see how I’ll humiliate you!
"Let me drink a sip of wine to get in the mood..."
"If you are too afraid to play, just admit defeat right now..."
"What’s the rush? I already said I need a sip of wine, a sip of wine!" Ye Xunhuan said disdainfully, "In ancient times, Guan Yu warmed wine to defeat Hua Xiong, and today I’ll let you see how Xunhuan plays the piano... What’s this thing called again, little Qing Qing?"
In ordinary circumstances, facing the slick-tongued Ye Xunhuan, Mei Hanqing would absolutely have laughed, but at this moment, she simply couldn’t.
Fu Zibo had played too well. Even if Ye Xunhuan could play, without superior skills, he would still lose!
"Fu Zibo!"
"Today, I will let you witness how Ye Xunhuan plays you!"
Fu Zibo snorted coldly, thinking he would let Ye Xunhuan enjoy his moment of verbal victory now. When you fail to play, then we’ll see what you do.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan got up and made his way towards the piano on the stage.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan step forward, Fu Zibo filled with a cold sneer inside, willingly offered his seat to Ye Xunhuan.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan sit at the piano, Mei Hanqing’s heart immediately rose to her throat, filled with an unprecedented level of nervousness.
Xia Xiangyu saw the look of nervousness on Mei Hanqing’s face and her own was filled with triumph: "What’s this? Han Qing, are you starting to fear that your boyfriend will lose?"
"If you are afraid he’ll lose, perhaps you should beg me. If you beg me, maybe I’ll call off the previous wager!"
After sitting down, Ye Xunhuan did not start playing right away. Instead, he took a deep breath, keeping himself in an unprecedentedly calm and composed state! 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Looking at Ye Xunhuan sitting in front of the piano, everyone felt as if he had become a different person. His entire demeanor had completely changed, especially as he now exuded a faint sense of melancholy!
The next moment, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ye Xunhuan’s hands began to move!
The piano sounded like moonlight spilling across the floor, slowly reaching the heart chamber, illuminating long untouched corners and stirring a flurry of memories.
The slow melody revealed a faint sense of sadness and melancholy, instantly evoking countless people’s memories of their youth, which came flooding in, both gloomy and hazy.
Suddenly, the piano’s tone changed, becoming somewhat more uplifting, appearing very agitated, as if a person, previously slightly sad and hesitant, suddenly flared up in anger.
Then, the piano’s sound changed again, turning light and brisk, forming a stark contrast to the previous melody!
In that moment, Ye Xunhuan seemed to be possessed by Beethoven’s soul, fully embodying the essence of the Moonlight Sonata, making it feel as though everyone had sunk into some distant memory, or as if he had transported them all to another world, each one intoxicated, their faces showing utmost satisfaction!
Ye Xunhuan’s hands rose and fell on the piano, his finger movements fluid and splendid, the rhythm natural and captivating, the melody immersive!
The melody under his fingertips was fully born at this moment.
The piano’s sound varied from high to low, from delicate to rough, from hurried to relaxed, from sorrowful and hesitant to furious... The music, like a fierce storm, vented out, expressing a feeling of exasperation and a high-spirited fighting spirit, with a rhythm that decisively conveyed passionate emotions and a strong will.
From the initial emotions of sorrow, the piano became lively, intense, and then slowly settled to a plain, gradually fading away.
Even as the piano ceased to sound, the audience had not yet come to their senses, as if they were under a spell, their souls completely bound!
"Now, shouldn’t you kneel and apologize?" Ye Xunhuan rapidly stood up from the piano and pointed his finger at Xia Xiangyu!
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, as if snapping out of a dream, everyone immediately came back to their senses.
It was not clear who started it, but soon the entire restaurant erupted with thunderous applause. At the same time, all the guests stood up from their seats, looking at Ye Xunhuan with eyes full of frenzied adoration!
No one could have imagined that Ye Xunhuan could so fully and sharply bring out the emotions within the Moonlight Sonata, as if Beethoven had truly been resurrected!
Looking at Ye Xunhuan, the center of everyone’s attention like a star, Mei Hanqing’s heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
No woman dislikes a strong man, no woman dislikes an outstanding one.
Mei Hanqing felt the same!
Ye Xunhuan was indeed too outstanding, with a not-so-common background and top-notch skills in piano performance, he was undoubtedly the Prince Charming every woman dreamed of!
While deliriously joyful, Mei Hanqing also felt a slight twinge of sadness—how wonderful it would be if she were his wife!
But she was not his wife; he already had one.
What sort of person was his wife, capable enough to match such an outstanding man?
She must also be very outstanding, mustn’t she?
How great it would be if this man belonged solely to her, Mei Hanqing thought somewhat selfishly.
In this moment, the outcome of the competition was clear from the thunderous applause.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan spread his arms, signaling for everyone to quiet down.
Indeed, as soon as Ye Xunhuan stretched out his hands, everyone fell silent, looking at him with utmost admiration, especially the women, whose eyes were filled with fervor.
Believe it, at this moment, if Ye Xunhuan was willing, there would be countless women in the restaurant willing to leave their partners to have an evening of love with Ye Xunhuan!
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan was like a king on high, a wave of his hand could stir the clouds in all four directions!
"Now, you should be ready to kneel, right?" Ye Xunhuan looked down at Xia Xiangyu and Fu Zibo from his elevated position.
