Wen Xin sat on the spot for a while before she stood up and walked upstairs, phone in hand.
Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin’s back as she went upstairs. He raised his hand and beckoned Mu Dong to come closer.
Mu Dong walked to Mu Chengxi’s side and bent down, waiting for Mu Chengxi to speak.
“Contact the piano master Monchitov and ask him what kind of requirements he has to be a judge for the piano competition in Ice City.”
“Master Xi, this is just a city-level competition. There’s no need to invite a world-class piano master over, right? I think we can just invite Old Luo out. Monchitov is too big. I’m afraid that after he appears, it will become a world competition!”
Mu Dong could not quite understand Mu Chengxi’s thoughts. It was clearly a city-level piano competition. Why did he need to invite a world-class piano master?
“Just do as I say. I’ll call Elder Luo myself.” Mu Chengxi looked at the scenery outside the window. Since Wen Xin wanted to go on stage, he had to give her the best stage and make her the most eye-catching one.
Wen Xin walked into Tan Xingyue’s piano room and took a book from a drawer. In the book were the songs that she composed when she was bored. Any random piece would make the masters of the piano world feel as if they had obtained a treasure.
Wen Xin sat beside the piano and opened the songbook, picking out Tan Xingyue’s favorite song.
She opened the piano and placed the score on the shelf. She sat in front of the piano and took a deep breath. Her slender and beautiful fingers were placed on the piano.
A gentle and melodious piano melody began to play, slowly emanating like a tide, filling every nook of the small building.
The piano notes were languid and melodious, as if narrating enchanting tales.
Suddenly, the musical atmosphere shifted; the notes became bold and bright, rushing like a waterfall, seemingly venting a certain emotion, causing the listener’s feelings to tighten with the music.
After expressing these emotions, the piano returned to its serene pace, whispering like a soft murmur, bringing a sense of purification to the listener’s soul.
The piano notes were graceful and continuous, delicate like floating cotton, ethereal yet ultimately serene.
Mu Dong, who had already reached the door, suddenly stopped when he heard the music. He looked in Mu Chengxi’s direction. Mu Chengxi’s eyes were closed, immersed in the gentle music.
After about five minutes, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. However, those who were immersed in the piano music could not get out of the emotions brought by the piano music.
Wen Xin stood up from the piano and picked up her phone to call Lapor.
The call went through very quickly. Lapor was very surprised to receive Wen
Xin’s call. “Wen, why did you call me?”
“I have something to ask of you!” Wen Xin leaned lazily against the window of the balcony, looking at the beautiful sunset outside. It felt like a lifetime had passed.
“Is there something you want to ask of me?” Lapor was very surprised when she heard that Wen Xin had something to ask of her. In her impression, after knowing Wen Xin for so many years, Wen Xin had only asked her once, and that was for her to take Geng Qiu as her disciple.
“Yes, I want you to come to Ice City and be a judge for the Ice City piano competition. Then, use your special identity to get me a place to participate in the competition.”
“You want to participate in the competition? Wen, are you sure? You want to participate in the city’s piano competition? I wanted you to participate in a world-class piano competition, but you rejected me. You actually want to participate in a city competition? That’s just a child’s game!”
Lapor did not believe Wen Xin’s words at all. She did not even want world-class glory. She could not understand what Wen Xin was thinking about in a small city competition.
“You just have to say whether you will help me or not. I can agree to one request of yours.” Wen Xin chuckled when she heard Lapor’s tone of disbelief. She had never thought that her participation in the city competition would surprise her so much.
“Of course, I will help you. I’ll get my assistant to contact the organizers of the piano competition immediately. We’ll meet in Ice City then!”
Lapor was very familiar with the Ice City. She had once stayed in the Ice City for a week to guide Geng Qiu, but it was always Geng Qiu who came to France to find her.
Now that she thought about it, she had not been to the Ice City for five years. To be able to see Wen Xin, she was inexplicably looking forward to it.
“Then we’ll meet in Ice City!”
Having achieved her goal, Wen Xin hung up the phone. She walked to the balcony and looked at the setting sun. Her clear, black eyes slowly closed. She had wanted to live a low-profile life, but those people never gave her the chance.
Twenty minutes later, Wen Xin came downstairs with a notebook. She put the notebook into her backpack and looked at Mu Chengxi, sitting lazily on the sofa with Huahua in his arms. She spoke in an indifferent voice.
“Let’s go see Liang Luoyu.”
“Alright.” Upon hearing Wen Xin’s words, Mu Chengxi placed the lazy kitten in his arms aside. He stood up and shook the cat fur off his body.
“Bring Guagua and Huahua with you. Help me think of a way to ship them back.
We’ll go back to Ice City after we visit my parents and Uncle Tan tomorrow.”
Wen Xin bent down and gently rubbed Huahua’s head. Huahua leaned forward and rubbed against Wen Xin’s palm with an expression of enjoyment.
“Alright, bring them to the manor first. Liang Luoyu will take a private plane back tomorrow. He can bring them along.”
Wen Xin couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of Guagua and Huahua being treated the same way as the injured Liang Luoyu. He wondered if Liang Luoyu would have any objections.
The next day, Liang Luoyu saw a golden retriever as fat as a pig on the private plane Mu Dong had arranged for him. He also saw a cat lying lazily in the air box that did not look him in the eye. Liang Luoyu started to doubt his life. He always felt that he was the one who was freeloading on the plane.
Wen Xin brought Mu Chengxi into a desolate cemetery. There were two graves in the corner of the cemetery. There were no tombstones, no photos, and no names. The surroundings were filled with waist-high weeds.
Wen Xin stood in front of the two graves for a while. She placed the fresh flowers in her hands aside and began to tidy up the weeds beside the graves.
Mu Chengxi also squatted down and tidied up the weeds on the other side. The two of them moved very quickly. In a short while, the weeds by the grave were cleaned up.
Wen Xin picked up a bouquet of lilies from the ground and placed them on one of the graves. Beside the other grave, she placed a bouquet of small daisies.
“Dad, Mom, I haven’t visited you for a long time. I don’t know if you’ll blame me. This is Mu Chengxi, my boyfriend. He treats me very well and takes care of me. Don’t worry, I’m doing very well now.”
“Wen Huai is also very good. He’s already a man. I’ll definitely bring him over to see you next time but now is not the time. After I avenge you, I’ll bring you home!”
Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand and gently squeezed her fingers. Wen Xin introducing him in front of her parents’ graves had surprised him and made him very happy. This proved that Wen Xin had already acknowledged him as her boyfriend..
