Chapter 540: Late-night Music

The sound of the piano didn’t sound like any popular melody or song. Occasionally, it would flip, fly, and fall. The melody that spun and danced was so pleasant that Murong Qiao felt her ears itch after hearing it for a while. There was no description, but it sounded good.

Through the gla.s.s on the door, Murong Qiao could only see the boy sitting in front of the piano with his back facing her.

It seemed that he was also one of the contestants this time?

A guess appeared in Murong Qiao’s heart. Then, she wondered if she should wait for the other party to finish playing this song and ask for his name to remember.

However, the phone in her pocket vibrated at an inappropriate time, dispelling the thought that had just arisen in Murong Qiao’s mind.

Murong Qiao couldn’t disturb the boy from playing the piano, so she only picked up the call after walking a distance.

Tm sorry, Young Miss Murong. I didn’t see your call just now…” Xu Zhuo apologized first.

Actually, in terms of time, Murong Qiao had arrived according to the estimated time. Xu Zhuo was not wrong.

However, she was forced to answer a call at the last minute and didn’t expect to miss Murong Qiao’s call.

“It’s nothing serious,” Murong Qiao said.

Xu Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief. “Where are you now? The path here is more complicated. I’ll go look for you.”

Hearing that Murong Qiao didn’t seem to be angry, Xu Zhuo’s tense state dissipated a lot.

Murong Qiao told him the location where she had just gotten out of the car and asked Xu Zhuo. Five minutes later, the two of them finally met.

“It’s like this. There’s a portion of the opening and middle of the scene about your appearance. You need to familiarize yourself with the stage structure and route…”

Xu Zhuo didn’t dare to delay Murong Qiao’s time. He quickly talked about Murong Qiao’s scenes as a special guest and tried his best to complete the work in a short and straightforward manner.

After all, she was one of the sponsors of the show. Xu Zhuo’s att.i.tude towards Murong Qiao could be said to be overly respectful.

However, to Xu Zhuo’s surprise, Murong Qiao was very cooperative. She didn’t have the arrogance or condescension of a company’s boss at all, nor did she give off an uncomfortable feeling.

The entire process could be said to be smooth and natural, vaguely subverting Xu Zhuo’s impression.

I have a rough idea. I’ll just walk through it a few more times. If you have something to do, go ahead.”

Thanks to her outstanding memories, Murong Qiao roughly understood the sequence after going back and forth a few times.

Fortunately, there was no need for Xu Zhuo to accompany her here. Murong Qiao chased the other party away.

Xu Zhuo was about to say that he was fine when his cell phone rang again. Must it be at this moment!

He cursed in his heart, apologized to Murong Qiao, and turned to answer the call.

Xu Zhuo, I haven’t finished talking to you just now. My brother really wants to be an artiste on the variety show. Will you consider it?” It was a female voice on the other end.

Xu Zhuo frowned. “It’s not a joke to be an artiste. Besides—”

I’m not joking either,” the other party interrupted.

The female voice was quite serious. “As an elder sister, I just want to satisfy my little brother’s wish.”

“I won’t make things difficult for you. Just give him a spot to partic.i.p.ate. As for whether he can be selected, that’s up to him.”

When Xu Zhuo heard the other party say this, he felt relieved.

As a director, he could do such a small thing like leaving a spot.

“I’ll partic.i.p.ate in your next variety show when I’m free, alright?” The other party threw out another benefit.

Now, the temptation had finally hooked Xu Zhuo’s heart.

Xu Zhuo coughed lightly. “I’m only responsible for letting him partic.i.p.ate.” “Alright, with your words, I’ll throw him over.” The other party was not vague. After receiving a response, she didn’t say much before hanging up.

Xu Zhuo was not the kind of person who couldn’t tolerate sand in his eyes. He had done many variety shows himself, so he naturally knew what kind of tricks these people had.

It was not a loss to be able to exchange for the traffic of big celebrities partic.i.p.ating in variety shows.

Xu Zhuo calmed down slightly. After ending the call, he planned to go back and see Young Miss Murong.

-Young Miss Murong just left and asked me to tell you, Director,” the staff replied.

Murong Qiao was about to return home after familiarizing herself with the process when she saw the place where she had gotten out of the car.

She stopped in her tracks because of the lights on the first floor.

Murong Qiao looked in the direction of the light in confusion. After sketching out the rough terrain in her mind, she vaguely remembered that it was the place where he had heard the sound of the piano just now.

…Could that person still be playing?

This thought suddenly appeared in her heart.

But it was already half past eleven.

Murong Qiao glanced at the time displayed on his phone. If she remembered correctly, she had rehea.r.s.ed on the stage for at least an hour.

This was the second time she had walked the path, and Murong Qiao was already much more familiar with it. She walked to the door of the building and turned two corners. This time, she arrived at the door of the practice room without using her ears.

The boy was still sitting in the position Murong Qiao had seen when she came.

It was as if time had never flowed on his body as he played tirelessly.

Murong Qiao gently pushed open the door and the melody was immediately magnified.

She closed the door softly and stood at the door in silence until the song ended before speaking softly.

“It’s late.”

The boy sitting on the piano stool seemed to be frightened. His fingertips that were about to play the next note paused and he looked in Murong Qiao’s direction in surprise.

He stood up, feeling a little overwhelmed. “I’m sorry if 1 disturbed you.”

This action also allowed Murong Qiao to see the true appearance of this piano-playing boy.

It was a clean and delicate appearance. At first glance, he gave off the impression of a good-looking and powerful senior in school. He was wearing a white shirt and had his hair tied up in front of his forehead. His gaze was like the wind that swept across the gra.s.s in spring. Light and the fragrance of the gra.s.s brushed past his face.

“No.” Murong Qiao shook his head. “I think you played quite well.”

“What’s the name of this song?” she asked casually.

The boy pursed his lips. “For the time being… there’s no name yet. I composed this song myself.”

After saying that, he seemed to feel that something was wrong. He frowned and added after a moment of silence.

My name is Jing Jianbai. I’m a contestant.”

Perhaps afraid that it would be too strange for him to practice the piano alone at night and might scare Murong Qiao, Jing Jianbai explained his ident.i.ty and made his actions more reasonable.

“Sleeping late will affect your energy and focus during the compet.i.tion. You can also practice the piano during the day.” Seeing that the other party’s piano playing was very pleasant to the ears and wanting to get to know him better, Murong Qiao gave a rare piece of advice.

Although she didn’t know what the situation was like, if what Jing Jianbai said was true, this song was an original by the other party. It reminded Murong Qiao of the time when she waved at Qu Xiu and Qu Xi.

Jing Jianbai’s talent was not inferior to the Qu siblings.

Jing Jianbai shook his head. “I won’t.”

“I practice the piano during the day too. Six hours of sleep is enough.”

He answered Murong Qiao’s question honestly. His honest tone made Jing

Jianbai sound a little stunned, but he was also serious.

Murong Qiao only spoke after a while. “So-you’ve been playing since the day?”

“I went to eat,” Jing Jianbai explained seriously.

Murong Qiao raised her hand to her forehead at this answer. “You… forget it.”

For a moment, she didn’t know what answer to give. She was caught between laughter and tears.

Her cell phone vibrated. The driver who had come to pick her up had probably arrived..
