34: Chapter 034: The Piano Prince, the Piano God
“Kid, if you can’t stand it, scram.
Don’t be an eyesore here.
If you can play, then show us by playing a piece yourself.”
An audience mber disdainfully said to Ning Fan.
Xu Xiaoqing was too lazy to bother with Ning Fan now.
Let him fend for himself.
She tried to help him out of kindness, but he didn’t appreciate it at all and even dared to say that Huo Qiuran’s playing was not good—he was hopeless.
She snorted coldly, crossed her arms and sat aside, ignoring him completely, even pretending she didn’t know Ning Fan.
Zhou Jiangming watched Ning Fan with interest, mockingly said, “That’s not a bad idea, Ning Fan.
Didn’t you say it lacked a bit of charm?”
“Since you said it’s lacking, why don’t you play sothing and shut everyone up?”
“Show us if you can play!”
“Play sothing!”
“Play sothing…”
The crowd, eager to see what would happen, echoed Zhou Jiangming’s words, causing a wave of voices to rise and fall within the hall.
“How amusing.”
Ning Fan glanced at Zhou Jiangming with a faint smile, then turned to look at the urging audience behind him.
Among these people, there were howls and jeers.
Not one of them sincerely wanted to hear Ning Fan play the piano!
Ning Fan shook his head.
“It’s been a long ti since I’ve played the piano, and my hands are rusty.
It just so happens that I heard the Queen’s piano today and my hands are itching, so let’s play sothing.”
Having said that, Ning Fan put down his wine glass, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he slowly walked towards the stage.
All at once, everyone fell silent, staring at Ning Fan with their mouths agape.
In the blink of an eye, soone suddenly burst out laughing, and then the hall erupted in laughter, mocking Ning Fan’s presumptuousness.
“Xiaoqing, is this really your boyfriend?
He didn’t co from so hiring service, did he?
If you need soone to shop with, you can call ,” Zhou Jiangming said teasingly in front of Wang Xiaodie.
Wang Xiaodie didn’t care but laughed so hard at Ning Fan’s actions that she struggled to catch her breath, laughing loudly:
“This guy, this guy actually went on stage to play the piano?!”
Zhou Jiangming said helplessly, “He doesn’t even know how many keys there are on the piano, let alone read the music sheet—it’s like hieroglyphics to him!”
Xu Xiaoqing wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Naturally, she didn’t believe Ning Fan could play the piano.
Their poor little village wouldn’t afford him any opportunity to even touch a piano.
But this guy—why on earth did she bring him to a concert?
Still, she gave Zhou Jiangming a cold glance and retorted angrily, “Zhou Jiangming, why are you so smug?
What my boyfriend is like is none of your damn business.
Mind your own mouth!”
Zhou Jiangming shrugged his shoulders, joined the crowd in watching Ning Fan on the stage, to see how this farce would end.
“Everyone, quiet down.
Let’s listen to the piano piece that Master Ning Fan has brought us.”
Zhou Jiangming’s words dripped with sarcasm; he certainly didn’t believe Ning Fan could play the piano and only hoped Ning Fan’s embarrassnt would be bigger, more pitifully dreadful.
Then even if Xu Xiaoqing insisted, she couldn’t keep Ning Fan as her boyfriend.
Who would want to have such a boyfriend…
And then, he might have a chance!
Instantly, the crowd burst into laughter, but seeing Ning Fan’s serious deanor, everyone quieted down, waiting for the next mont to ridicule.
Ning Fan sat up straight, staring at the piano seriously and intently, his hands gently resting on the keys, as if recalling past events, he didn’t start playing imdiately.
Afterward, Ning Fan’s expression turned solemn, he pressed the first piano key, and then beca unstoppable, his hands dancing over the piano.
The crowd was instantly imrsed in rhythms that were lively and lodies that were lodious, music that struck the soul and the senses.
Backstage, the piano Queen Huo Qiuran drank water with an expressionless face, then suddenly heard the piano starting outside and her entire body, her delicate fra, shuddered violently!
Through the slightly parted curtains, a pair of captivating snowy eyes stared intently at Ning Fan on the stage.
In the concert hall, everyone fell into silence, with only the soaring piano sounds undulating and resonating in their hearts.
Everyone was amazed, thinking, My god…
this is just too beautiful!
Never have they heard such lodious piano music.
Even the piano music Huo Qiuran had just played was far from comparable to what was now being played, in fact, it was worlds apart!
As they listened, the entire audience beca imrsed in the enchanting lody, unable to extricate themselves.
Then, a young woman began to cry as she listened.
Soon after, another person followed, silently shedding tears.
Zhou Jiangming and Wang Xiaodie were also enveloped in emotion, their eyes slightly red and swirling with tears!
And there was Xu Xiaoqing, listening intently, then wiping her tears with both hands, eyes brimming with tears, unable to wipe them all away.
Too beautiful!
Beautiful enough to make one cry!
After the last, rapid lody, Ning Fan removed his hands from the piano and stopped playing, then walked back in silence.
Everyone looked at Ning Fan with dumbstruck faces, as if looking at a monster.
Not only did he play, but he played so beautifully that it brought tears…
It was then that Xu Xiaoqing finally ca to her senses, blankly staring at Ning Fan with an incredulous expression.
Was this really the Ning Fan she knew?
He was like a true Prince of Music!
Just at that mont, thunderous applause filled the concert hall, as countless people applauded and cheered for Ning Fan’s piano performance, even drawing curious glances from the people outside in the shopping mall.
Those who had ridiculed Ning Fan as a country bumpkin, ignorant of music, were completely dumbfounded now.
This was a slap in the face.
How could such a master pianist possibly be a country bumpkin?
And how could he be soone ignorant of high art?
They wished they could turn back ti and take back their words, and then, at that mont, stand up and cheer for Ning Fan all alone.
Yes, if they could go back, it wasn’t for any other reason but to vindicate Master Ning Fan; if anyone dared speak ill of Master Ning, they would give him a hard slap!
Thinking of this, everyone’s gaze turned to Zhou Jiangming, who had been more scornful of Ning Fan.
Zhou Jiangming and Wang Xiaodie wiped away their tears and looked dumbly at Ning Fan as he walked down the stage.
The impossible had happened.
Even Zhou Jiangming himself had cried; was it true that Ning Fan couldn’t play the piano, didn’t know the scores, and had no idea how many keys there were on a piano?
Damn it…
then who had played those earth-shattering, gracefully undulating piano sounds?
Zhou Jiangming and Wang Xiaodie exchanged glances, both with tear-streaked faces, silent and mortified, blaming themselves for their poor judgnt and for underestimating him.
Xu Xiaoqing was a mix of shock and delight, her hands clasped tightly to her chest, watching Ning Fan like an obsessed fan with adoring eyes.
“Ning Fan you big liar, playing the piano so well, why didn’t you say so earlier, you made
worry about you for nothing!”
Xu Xiaoqing roared inwardly, but could not contain the excitent in her heart, looking at Ning Fan with adoration and infatuation, as if he were her Prince Charming.
On the contrary, Zhou Jiangming and Wang Xiaodie were ashen-faced, unsure how to face Ning Fan now.
They only hoped that Ning Fan wouldn’t be too harsh…
This was a true face-slapping mont!
