Chapter 20 Give Her Flowers
Zhuang Yan was the first to play. His violin has already reached the ninth grade of the central tone standard. Naturally, he passed the interview at this level with ease, and he won the S grade on the stage.
Xu Lu was the penultimate performer. She played the second chapter of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 4 in E flat major.
At the end of the song, all three judges gave grade A. Xu Lu was a little disappointed. She thought she could get S, but A could also enter the central music.
Wen Jianmin held the venue and applauded, and Zhong Hui handed over the bouquet in his hands: "Jianmin, go and present flowers."
Wen Jianmin didn't refuse either. Holding a bouquet, he walked to the front of the stage. Xu Lu walked to the side of the stage with a smile, and slightly bowed her head to accept a large bouquet of lilies: "Thank you, Uncle Wen."
This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Wen Qiao who was standing on the side screen and was about to go on stage. Wen Qiao exhaled, trying not to let his emotions be affected by them.
Wen Jianmin has treated her stepdaughter better than her own daughter for decades. She has long been used to it, so it's no big deal.
Wen Jianmin touched Xu Lu's head, and his eyes were full of approval: "You play very well. I saw the examiners and professors nodding frequently. Uncle Wen is proud of you."
Xu Lu smiled shyly, holding a bouquet, and passed the side curtain with the person carrying the piano off the stage.
She paused and looked at Wen Qiao with a smile: "Uncle Wen probably prepared a bouquet for you, don't worry."
Wen Qiao glanced at her coolly, his eyes seemed to say, do you think I'd be curious?
Xu Lu gritted her teeth, and walked into the backstage holding flowers in displeasure.
Wen Qiao walked to the center of the stage and sat on a chair. The lights slowly came on, and her slender fingers lightly placed on the strings of the pipa.
She performed the well-known pipa song [Ambush from Ten Sides], and her emotions were ignited at the beginning. The fingering combination of "buckle, wipe, flick, wipe" vividly demonstrated the mighty style of soldiers.
The last section of "Jiuli Mountain Battle" depicts the life-and-death fight between the two armies. The sound of horseshoes, swords and knives hitting each other's ears, immediately attracted the three judges in the audience, as well as... Fu Nanli.
He sat there, quietly looking at the girl on the stage, the soft twilight light enveloped her, she was wearing a white dress, with a delicate figure and a beautiful face, she was immersed in her music world, firmly grasping the viewers and judges.
In the side scene, Xu Lu was standing beside Zhuang Yan and could see his gaze. Ever since Wen Qiao came on stage, Zhuang Yan had kept this posture, looking at Wen Qiao all the time.
This made her feel very uneasy, even though the whole school thought that she and Zhuang Yan were talented and attractive, but Zhuang Yan never said that he liked her.
And she, being a lady, couldn't take the initiative to pursue a boy like Wen Qiao did.
When Wen Qiao's song ended, the aftertaste was long, stirring, and hearty.
The judges whispered to each other.
Xu Lu clenched her fists. She hoped it was a B grade. She didn't want Wen Qiao to be in the same school as her and Zhuang Yan. Yang Yin wouldn't be able to get into it, but Wen Qiao could get into Haiyin.
The blood in Wen Qiao's whole body seemed to be boiling. After finishing, his fingertips trembled slightly. When he looked up, he saw Fu Nanli getting up and walking over. He was still holding a bunch of flowers in his hand.
Wearing a suit, he has a very strong retro aura. When he approached her step by step like this, he looked like a well-educated noble son who returned from studying abroad in the Republic of China, proud and mysterious.
When he walked to the edge of the stage, Wen Qiao got up, lifted her skirt slightly, and walked towards him with a smile.
What he holds in his hand is a white rose, the flower language is innocence and purity.
She bowed her head to pick up the flowers in his hand...
The girls on the side screen were instantly blown away, "Who is that, so handsome."
"It's a star, after all, he is so handsome and tall."
