Chapter Twenty-Eight: In His Presence, Four Hands Joined Together
An Jing's heart was in a state of confusion, he didn't pay attention, the beat under his feet leaked, and he stepped on Long Haiyang's feet, and it happened that Long Haiyang also happened to close his feet, but An Jing stumbled and threw himself directly into his arms. γγγFengyun Novel Reading Network Baolinyγ
Long Haiyang reacted relatively quickly, he took advantage of the situation to hug An Jing's waist, supported her, and asked nervously: "Sister Jing, are you okay?"
After An Jing's fall, he panicked even more, and his face behind the mask turned white.
Her first reaction was to raise her eyes to look in the direction of Ji Chendong, who was not far away, to see if he had found it.
Ji Chendong, who was dressed in a golden suit and was as dazzling as the sun, was holding Qin Yuchen's slender waist and dancing on the dance floor, as if he didn't pay attention to this side at all.
An Jing had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.
"What's wrong" Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind An Jing, she looked sideways slightly, and found that Gu Xiluo appeared on her side at some point.
Long Haiyang said: "Sister Jing accidentally tripped just now. β
Gu Xiluo reached out to support An Jing's arm, looked down at her ankles under the hem of her skirt, and said in a low voice, "Your feet are okay?"
An Jing lowered his eyes slightly and replied loudly: "It's okay." β
Ye Lin pulled Long Haiyang and said domineeringly: "You are not suitable to practice with her, come, I will teach you." β
Anyway, if you don't give Long Haiyang a chance to struggle, Ye Lin pulls him away.
Gu Xiluo helped An Jing and said softly: "Don't jump yet, go up and find a place to sit for a while, and I'll help you take a look." β
An Jing lowered her eyes slightly, almost didn't dare to raise her head, she was afraid of seeing the picture of Ji Chendong and Qin Yuchen together, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand it.
Gu Xiluo helped An Jing all the way out of the dance floor, and quickly disappeared into the crowd. And behind a gorgeous black and gold mask, two bottomless black eyes were quietly squinting as An Jing's figure disappeared, and what was surging in the depths was fury and jealousy.
Gu Xiluo and An Jing had just walked out of the crowd when they happened to meet the staff of the school office who was responsible for coordinating the entire dinner tonight.
When the man saw the two, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Classmate Gu, classmate An, I can be regarded as finding the two of you." β
Gu Xiluo and An Jing stood side by side, and An Jing asked, "Is there something wrong?"
The man smiled and said, "That's the case, the school hopes that the two of you, after going on stage to receive the award for a while, can you perform a program such as singing, musical instruments, anything, as long as it's two people together." β
An Jingyan flashed a touch of surprise, and then said: "We didn't prepare this in advance."
The man also looked sorry and said loudly: "Yes, this matter was temporarily built by the school, look at the two"
An Jing is a person who is not very good at refusing people, and he can't see others embarrassed, so he instinctively looked at Gu Xiluo on his side.
Gu Xiluo was silent for a few seconds, and then said to An Jing: "Haven't you been learning piano before, how are you practicing?"
An Jingmei's eyes were slightly raised, and she replied truthfully: "I didn't play well." β
Gu Xiluo said: "Do you have any tunes that you memorize?"
An Jing nodded, she is a more serious person, she must learn whatever she wants, and the piano is too. From not knowing staves to being able to play more than ten famous piano songs with her eyes closed, she has put in hardships and efforts that ordinary people can't imagine.
Gu Xiluo didn't even ask An Jing what tunes he could play, and said directly: "Then let's perform a four-hand joint play." β
An Jing was a little worried, and couldn't help whispering: "Can it work?"
Gu Xiluo said: "You just follow the usual practice, and I will watch it myself." β
An Jing had Gu Xiluo by her side, and she was quickly relieved in her heart, she nodded and said, "That's good, it's better to play the piano than to sing or something." β
The two quickly settled down, and the staff of the school office also smiled and thanked them.
A short time later, the dinner officially began. Since it was a dinner specially organized by the school to reward An Jing and Gu Xiluo, the two were naturally well-deserved protagonists.
After the host invited the two to come to the stage and accepted the commendation from the principal and the vice principal, the host said as usual: "Next, Senior Gu and An Xuemei will bring us a performance, four hands together, everyone applauds."
In the applause of tens of thousands of people in the audience, a white piano was carried to the stage by the staff, An Jing became more and more nervous, after all, he has been busy with professional things recently, and he has no time to practice the piano, and he doesn't know if it will go wrong for a while.
Gu Xiluo was beside An Jing, he obviously felt her cramped and worried, looked at her sideways, he gave her a reassuring smile, and then whispered, "Don't worry, there is me." β
An Jing saw Gu Xiluo's indifferent expression as if Mount Tai had collapsed in front of her, and she tried her best to suppress the tension in her heart, she nodded at him, and then replied in a low voice: "When it's over, I'll invite you to eat and go to supper." β
The curvature of the corners of Gu Xiluo's lips became larger, and he replied with a smile: "Okay." β
The two stood on the stage, and everyone in the audience could only see them looking at each other and smiling, and as for what they said, they couldn't hear it at all.
Ji Chendong stood somewhere under the stage, staring at someone on the stage, his black pupils becoming deeper and deeper.
Gu Xiluo and An Jing walked to the piano and sat side by side. An Jing took a deep breath, then raised his ten-fingered slender hands and slowly placed them on the black and white keys.
The huge auditorium was silent, and after three seconds, a series of beautiful but extremely sad notes wafted through the air.
An Jing was a fairy tale shattered.
This piece is not a piano piece in the traditional sense, but because she likes the tune of the song, she specially learned the version of the piano piece.
An Jing thought that he would be very nervous, so nervous that his brain was blank and he couldn't remember anything. But the moment she pressed her hands on the keys, her brain was indeed blank, but her fingers remembered the pace of the whole piece, and she didn't need to use her consciousness to control it, it was all free.
An Jing played the fairy tale and shattered, and all that came to her mind were the beautiful fragments of her past with Ji Chendong.
He hand-painted their wedding dresses on the plane;
He took her by the hand and said loudly in Danish on the streets of Denmark I love you;
He sued her that no matter what happened in the future, he would be there;
He said he would never let go of her hand again.
An Jing lowered her eyes slightly, I don't know when, tears have filled the entire eye socket, she doesn't dare to blink, or even dare to breathe hard, for fear that if she is not careful, the tears will fall.
Gu Xiluo added in when An Jing entered the chorus. In fact, An Jing played the complete repertoire, and Gu Xiluo only listened to it once, and temporarily added his new arrangement of this piece.
The style of the whole piece was originally very sad and even hopeless, but with the addition of Gu Xiluo, it seemed to be a desperate situation, which made the originally sad tune suddenly turn around, a little more hopeful and bright.
An Jing's distant thoughts were finally pulled back by Gu Xiluo, she listened to the familiar and unfamiliar tune in her ears, and looked at the other pair of hands on the black and white keys in addition to herself.
She has known Gu Xiluo for a long time, she only knows that he has a high EQ and high IQ, but she didn't expect to play the piano so well.
He lowered his gaze slightly, his eyelashes long enough to almost brush the rim of his mask's eye sockets. And his slender and white fingers make women unable to take their eyes off.
Only the two of them knew that this piece was decided on an impromptu basis, she played it step by step, and Gu Xiluo played it on the spot. The only person who can make the scene to the extreme is Gu Xiluo.
An Jing looked at him sideways, and for a moment she was in a trance, she didn't have Ji Chendong's figure in her brain.
Gu Xiluo felt An Jing's gaze, he also looked sideways at her, the two looked at each other, he curled the corners of his lips at her, and showed a gentle smile.
An Jing's restless heart was finally gently dissolved by Gu Xiluo's gentle smile.
She put aside all her unhappiness for the time being, and just wanted to follow Gu Xiluo to complete this piece.
The mood may not be able to be seen through by everyone, but the mood that the music can convey to the player cannot be hidden from everyone.
An Jing's cooperation with Gu Xiluo is obviously happy.
The two looked at each other from time to time, then looked at each other and smiled.
After the song ended, the audience erupted in thunderous applause, and the host praised with a smile: "Senior Gu and Senior Sister An are really a match made in heaven"
An Jing stood on the stage, maintaining a polite and elegant smile. She swept down the stage a little uncontrollably, she knew who she was looking for, but she didn't see the dazzling golden figure in the audience.
Ji Chendong: He is gone.
An Jing can't tell whether he is happy or sad, maybe what he has experienced the most is the forbearance that he has not seen for hundreds of days and nights but misses him so much.
Let's go, let's go.
What's the use of continuing to stay, he didn't come for her, and she couldn't see him with other women.
An Jing was laughing, his body and mind numb from laughing, tears from laughter, and laughter seemed to be self-deprecating.
She was glad that she wore a delicate mask on her face, so that no matter how far-fetched her smile was, no one in the audience would notice the slightest abnormality.
After receiving the envy or admiration or jealousy of everyone on the stage, An Jing finally stepped down.
The first thing she said after stepping down was to Gu Xiluo beside her: "I'll go to the bathroom." β
After speaking, without waiting for Gu Xiluo to reply to something, she walked forward quickly.
Walking to the unmanned corridor, An Jing's face behind the mask was already full of tears, she stepped on high heels and walked in the direction of the bathroom, but when she looked up, she found a tall golden figure a few meters ahead, standing there motionless.
An Jing subconsciously stopped, there was a distance of several meters between her and Ji Chendong, and no one took a step forward first.
An Jing's vision was blurred by tears, and she couldn't see Ji Chendong's eyes clearly, but she could clearly feel that the powerful chill emanating from Ji Chendong's body seemed to freeze her whole person
