As long as she did not deliberately show off on stage, even the people sitting in the front row would not see what was happening. She quickly changed her clothes behind the curtains before stepping on stage. As soon as she appeared, she received a warm round of applause.

There were two hosts: a man and a woman. When Su Wen finally appeared on stage, they wiped their cold sweat and allowed her to take the spotlight.

Neither of the hosts said anything upon their departure, leaving Su Wen alone on stage.

Cao Meihua and Deputy Director Wei hid behind a door, using it as cover as they peeked at Su Wen, who stood on stage. What they feared most was Su Wen being unable to handle the pressure. They had almost fainted when they listened to the emcees, who were uninteresting and hopelessly unreliable. Thank goodness they were no longer on stage. Still, they did try their best to hold the audience’s attention while waiting for Su Wen to appear- -they must have been extremely nervous.

The two hosts also had it tough..

Cao Meihua was ready to pen her review but stopped when Su Wen stepped on stage, surprising everyone.

su wen took a moment to collect nerselt. It was unnerving standing In tront ot such a large audience. Testing the microphone, she immediately lightened the mood by teasing herself. It was as if she had transformed into an actress. “h.e.l.lo, everyone. I hope you won’t blame our hosts for being eager to let me take the spotlight; they were eager to see me! Let us thank them for giving me this opportunity, and since that is the case, I shan’t stand on ceremony.” “Ahaha…” The audience burst into friendly laughter and warm applause.

Cao Meihua moved closer, hiding behind a curtain, but even she could not help but join in on the laughter. The tension was gone, and even Deputy Director Wei sent a strange look at her, his heart swelling with envy.

Su Wen waited for the applause to stop before she continued, “Thank you for this opportunity to perform; it is a moment I will always cherish. The next item will be a piano piece ent.i.tled ‘Autumn Whispers.’ Please enjoy.” With that, she turned to the piano and sat down. She took a deep breath, setting her fingers on the keys, and a soft string of pleasant notes poured out.

Nothing else mattered; the piano was her whole world.

‘Autumn Whispers’ was not her best piece, yet it was simpler than the others and more easily performed on the fly. If anything, wedding songs suited her better.

She had had many opportunities to attend the weddings of her friends and university cla.s.smates, often being dragged along as an accompanist.

But a song fit for a wedding did not suit the moment. Hence, she decided on something else. At first, she was afraid she would mess up. Fortunately, ‘Autumn Whispers’ was a piece she had a lot of practice with.

The audience listened attentively. A young man sitting in the front row was surprised. The middle-aged man next to him, someone probably in his fifties, asked in a low voice, “Qingzhou, what’s the matter?”

“Oh! I thought I’d seen her before.” Lu Qingzhou scratched his head in confusion. “I just can’t remember where.”

“Was it at a blind date?”

“Uncle…! It’s not like that. Why are you teasing me too?” Lu Qingzhou buried his face in his hands, trying to hide his embarra.s.sment. His parents had been urging him to get married, and it seemed his uncle was in on it.

“Marriage is a very serious matter. Why would I make fun of you?” The middle-aged man answered seriously. “That girl isn’t half bad. She’s beautiful, has a good temperament, and her eyes shine true.” He ended his little speech with a wink aimed at his nephew.

“Trust me. You’ll like her.”

“Uncle, how can you see so clearly from this distance?”

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to respond, his counterpart beside him could not help but interject, “Qingzhou, you may not know, but your uncle was quite the sharpshooter back in his day! His eyesight is extraordinary!”

“Shoo…! I’m talking to my nephew. Why are you interrupting?”

“You looked anxious; I just wanted to help. Speaking of which, you were the most picky when we were young. If you say she’s a good girl, then she must be a good girl.’

The middle-aged man patted Lu Qingzhou on his shoulder and said, “If you don’t like her, I’ll introduce her to my nephew..”
