Zhou Chengchen's attention was entirely on the piece she was playing, momentarily ignoring the reactions of those around her. She had only one thought: from the first note to the last, she had to be perfect, because Xi Siyan had encouraged her with a "good luck". Ah, her Xi Siyan.
In the corner, Xi Siyan watched the slender back of the girl seated on the piano bench, his thin lips involuntarily pressing together.
The Moonlight Sonata she played had an added hint of joy compared to what he remembered. It wasn't as soothing, but every note resonated with his nerves.
Soon, Zhou Chengchen struck the final note. After a brief moment of stunned silence, the audience erupted into applause.
Zhou Chengchen stood up, her gaze straightforwardly landing on Xi Siyan. She saw Xi Siyan smile at her, and in that moment, it was as if all the chaotic noises around her had vanished. In her eyes, there was only him, only him alone.
