271 I Want To See Her!
“…”
The entire hall fell silent.
Everyone stared at the stage in disbelief, and Yun Yiheng’s brain was in shock.
What did his cousin say earlier?
She was Qing Dai?!
Anonymous was Qing Dai?
Logically speaking, after his performance, the dopamine in his body would slowly recede, and the pain from his hand would gradually come back.
But at this moment, he was so stunned by the news that he forgot the pain.
He gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and feelings of excitement and agitation kept clashing in his heart. It felt like he had to do something before he could vent his feelings.
However, he had no idea what he should do!
This was his idol!
The audience below was even more shocked.
The students from the folk music department recovered first. All of them were close to madness as they shouted, “Qing Dai! Ahhhh! Qing Dai!”
On the other hand, the students from the orchestra music department were completely dumbstruck.
They had originally thought that it was an insult to them because Anonymous went to be a side character, playing eastern musical instruments. But at this moment, they understood that she basically wasn’t a side character.
In folk music, she was the main character!!
This was especially for the music piece she had just played earlier. It had completely subdued all of them.
So, folk music could be so impressive and cool!
At this instant, the students from the orchestra music department felt their disdain for those from the folk music department slowly vanishing. Instead, the disdain transformed into a yearning for zither music.
They also went crazy and shouted with their fellow schoolmates from the folk music department, “Qing Dai! Qing Dai!”
In the livestream.
Everyone online still had no idea.
The music piece was really not bad, and the high and low notes were perfect. But honestly speaking, the quality of the zither’s sound was simply like that. How could it be comparable to the richness and robust quality of the piano and violin?
This was especially so considering the symphony Wen Yuyi had played earlier. Even those listening online could hear the natural feeling.
Hence, in terms of the musical quality of the notes, the zither was definitely weaker when compared to western musical instruments.
Among eastern musical instruments, the only thing that could be comparable to them was probably the instrument named Erhu.
Hence, those online felt that this music piece would at most be equal to Wen Yuyi’s performance.
But why was everyone on the scene so agitated?
Hence, the people online started asking questions:
——Although the fact that Anonymous is Qing Dai is shocking, there is no need for everyone to act so agitatedly, right?
——I was moved by that zither music earlier, but the flaws of eastern musical instruments are apparent. I don’t understand their reactions…can anyone among the live audience say something?
——My God, both Anonymous and Qing Dai are actually the same person!
The students outside the music hall grew even more bewildered. They could hear the thunderous applause within, and this caused their hearts to itch.
What exactly happened?
That reporter who was livestreaming from the scene was so agitated that he couldn’t talk straight when he saw the comments on the bullet screen. He commented, “What do you guys know? Although the symphony from the eleventh band is very nice to listen to, Qing Dai’s zither music is like a dimensional attack, crushing everything! Do you guys even know music? In addition, after hearing Qing Dai’s music, my entire body feels very comfortable, but I cannot pinpoint what has changed. It feels as though my mentality and body have become lighter, and I also have become younger…”
When the reporter said this, the students in the live audience finally had time to check for comments online. Hence, everyone began to give their feedback.
——My God, I was recently diagnosed with cervical spondylosis, and my mind isn’t too clear at times. Earlier, I had a headache, but after listening to Qing Dai’s music, the headache was relieved!
——I can’t describe the feeling exactly, but I felt my body becoming lighter. I still want to listen to more!
——Boohoohoo, Qing Dai is the best ever! From today onward, she will be my idol!
But some people refused to believe it.
——How can it be so magical? Why do I feel that you guys have entered some sort of MLM organization?
Everyone couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.
——Right, right, right. We entered an MLM organization, so you guys best not come to the live scene and listen. I’m afraid you guys might be enthralled too.
…
…
Similar comments began fermenting on the internet, causing Qing Dai and Anonymous’s fame to spread even wilder.
Shen Ruojing had to thank Wen Yuyi for buying votes to make her post trending. This caused the popularity of this matter to surge even more.
Backstage.
Wen Yuyi gnashed her teeth and bit her lips until it was bleeding. She was filled with so much regret that she turned green.
What monster was Shen Ruojing exactly?
Being Anonymous was already enough, yet she was also Qing Dai…Moreover, she was also a master of calligraphy!
She was clearly only 25 years old, just three years older than Wen Yuyi!
Wen Yuyi’s fingers were clenched tightly. She then saw the judges at the panel standing up. One of them looked at Shen Ruojing and bitterly smiled. “Teacher Qing Dai, since you’ve joined, is there still any suspense as to who would win the competition?”
As these words rang out, all the students on the scene, in addition to the jealous Wen Yuyi, shouted loudly in unison, “No suspense!”
Wen Yuyi bit her lips forcefully.
She suddenly charged up the stage and bit her lips as she said, “By participating using Qing Dai’s identity, are you planning to bully students like us? Such a competition is unfair!”
Such behavior was clearly because she couldn’t afford to lose.
However, everyone fell silent.
Honestly speaking, if Qing Dai became the champion because she participated, the victory would feel unfair.
After all, Qing Dai and Anonymous were famous composers. If Anonymous joined Wen Yuyi’s band, they would surely be able to win too, right?
For a time, even the judges didn’t know what to say.
Shen Ruojing then looked at Wen Yuyi and tsked. All of a sudden, she sat down and her finger strummed the zither strings, causing light-hearted music to ring out again!
It was still [Coldness of Plum Blossoms], but compared to the piece she had played earlier, this sounded more spiritual and pleasant, causing the listeners to feel as though the melody was magical!
Even people online were shocked. All of them began spamming comments:
——Ahhh, I’m dead! So this music piece is actually so good?
——My heavens, the music still sounds so nice even after being broadcasted online. I was wrong, this is truly a dimensional attack capable of crushing everything!
Very soon, the piece was concluded, and Shen Ruojing slowly spoke, “I was mimicking Yun Yiheng earlier, as that was his performance standard. But right now, I’m playing at the level Qing Dai would play.”
“…”
“…”
Amidst the silence, the main judge suddenly laughed. “There is no doubt. This year’s champion is Yun Yiheng from the Qilin Band!”
The championship truly belonged to Yun Yiheng. It had nothing to do with Qing Dai!
No one else raised any doubts. No one dared to question it!
Yun Yiheng’s eyes were red as he looked at Shen Ruojing.
The woman still stood there coldly.
But in this world, no one could be more gentle than her.
The audience all cheered, regardless of whether they were students from the folk music or orchestra music department. Not a single person had an objection.
Shen Yuansong also stood up directly as he stared dumbly at the stage, at the girl who was seemingly born in the light. He suddenly looked at the headmaster beside him. “I want to see her.”
The headmaster immediately spoke, “Okay, I’ll accompany you backstage.”
