Chapter 518 - Tian Yang (1/2)

Although nobody there besides Meixiu and Yu Rou knew the identity of the masked contestant, they could somehow tell that he was a professional just by the manner he walked onto the stage and how he sat behind the piano.

”Yu Rou, this person… He's very skilled.” Xia Jingyi said with a serious expression on her face.

”I think so too.” Yu Rou nodded, still pretending to be ignorant.

Once the atmosphere was completely silent, Yuan placed his hands on the piano keyboard and started playing the piano.

The audience felt chills going down their spine when they heard the first 10 notes being played, and their ears vibrated with bliss.

They have never heard or seen such a flawless performance before, nor did they expect to witness something this profound in such a small competition.

Yuan's performance continued to be played flawlessly for the next four minutes, playing the whole song without making a single mistake.

Every movement he made seemed to be made with elegance and grace, looking like he was dancing while playing the instrument.

The spectators quickly began speculating that Yuan was a professional disguised as a beginner to surprise them, but they were unable to guess his identity.

”Heavens… Who is this person?”

The judges there were left speechless by Yuan's performance. In fact, they only needed to listen to his performance for half a minute to be convinced that he was going to win this competition without anyone getting close.

The whole performance only lasted 4 minutes, but it felt like only a few seconds had passed for the spectators, as they were fully absorbed in his performance, feeling like they were in a dream-like state throughout the whole performance.

After playing his last note, Yuan stood up and turned to face the dazed audience before giving them a bow.

The audience remained silent for another moment before they exploded with cheering and admiration.

”That was amazing!”

”Play another song!”

”Encore!”

The judges agreed with the audience, and one of them said, ”Contestant Tian Yang, can you do us a favor and play another song? You can pick the song. And don't worry, it won't affect your scores regardless of your performance.”

Yuan pondered for a moment before nodding his head and returning to his seat behind the piano.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan began playing another song.

However, nobody in the audience recognized this song— nobody but Yu Rou.

Yu Rou's eyes widened with shock when she heard this song.

”Brother…” she muttered in a low voice, trying her best to not shed any tears in public.

The song being played by Yuan was a song he'd created for her when he was still actively playing for the Yu Family.

However, there weren't any good memories behind this song, as the day after he created this song, Yuan's body started to break.

This song didn't last long and only lasted half as long as the previous song, but it was so intensive and fast-paced that it sounded longer than the previous song, and there were more than twice as many notes in this song.
