Chapter 52: Music Tournament
Su Yunqi got stumped for a moment as she kept standing there, holding Jia Hao’s boxers.
Of course, she wasn’t a greenhorn and knew why the boxer was hardened like cardboard.
‘ So…He really saw me last night.’ Su Yunqi bit her lips as her face turned red from shame.
Even after she tried to sleep last night, she couldn’t dream of Jia Hao, whose figure slowly overlapped with her late husband.
Seeing his girthy masculinity just once, Su Yunqi felt the lust which she forcefully supressed after the death of her husband ignited once again.
The body, the personality, the dominance, Jia Hao was way too similar to her husband…Even a bit better than him. The years of pent up frustration in Su Yunqi became a raging river suppressed by a fragile dam.
And now…That dam seems to be unable to keep the river in check.
‘ This…This Hao’er…The scent…It feels so…natural.’
With trembling hands, Su Yunqi slowly took the boxer closer to her nose. The scent made her feel light headed…mixing a lot of emotions in her heart.
” Mom? What are you doing?”
” Ahh!”
Su Yunqi hurriedly threw the boxers back as she turned around, looking at Su Lan.
” I was just…Throwing laundry in the washing machine.” Su Yunqi hid her blush as she started to put everything into washing machine.
” Lan, You should get ready quickly.” Su Yunqi spoke as she looked at her. ” We shall depart in an hour.”
” I know, Mom.” Su Lan grinned as she hugged Su Yunqi from behind. ” You should be ready to see your daughter shine, alright?”
” Haha, Of course, My dear.” Su Yunqi replied back with excitement. ” Mom is already preparing to receive the award on stage. Just beat everyone quickly and thoroughly, ok?”
” Hehe…”
As they all got ready, Su Xing’er yelled from the hall. ” Jia Hao! Are you going to be lazy?”
” I am coming, Xing’er. Just wait a bit.”
Suddenly, the Su Family ladies’ expression turned wide when they saw Jia Hao coming down from the stairs. Wearing an expensive coat, Jia Hao slowly came down from the stairs, adjusting his tie.
” Well, How do I look, hm?” He spoke with a radiant smile as he looked at them.
Su Lan wore a blue colored gown with an expensive necklace. Although she didn’t look very flashy, she looked certainly perfect for her performance.
Then Su Xing’er, who wore a red sweatshirt with shorts. With a cap on her head, she gave off a beautiful tomboyish aura.
As for Su Yunqi? She wore an elegant black dress, with bare minimum makeup. The long black dress hugged each curve of her body, outlining it in a sexy way.
” You sure going to be an audience of Sister Lan’s performance? Or are you all going for some sort of fashion show?” Jia Hao couldn’t help but jest.
” All of you look so beautiful.”
Su Lan hugged Jia Hao’s arm as she also smiled. ” You are also looking pretty dashing, Jia Hao. I never thought your physique improved by so much.”
” Yeah, You’re kinda looking more…Muscular today.” Su Xing’er spoke.
” Alright, Enough of talking about his muscles.” Su Yunqi laughed as she slowly took everyone out. ” Let’s go, else we will be late.”
Uncle He opened the door of the Benz and everyone sat inside. After that, he drove to the Great Sea Hall where the music competition was being held.
It’s one of the major competitions across the entire Tianshu nation. Not only there were a lot of audiences, but the judges were also national level critics and musicians.
Even if someone just gets into the top ten ranking of the competition, they could easily pursue their music career without any effort.
And for the first prize? It’s one million Yuan with a complete scholarship to study at a university abroad. And, they will also get scouted by various companies and make some concerts.
But of course, just being selected for this competition is very hard. Not to mention, one needs to be younger than the age of 22.
” Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to this year’s Eastern Sea Music Talent Tournament! I can see the hall is totally packed with people, eh?”
” However, It’s worth it as we got some heavyweight participants here. Don’t think they are young and inexperienced. Each participant here can rival a professional!”
With a loud applause, the audience showed their appreciation. The host nodded as he shouted.
” Alright, Everyone! Let the show begin!”
” Our first contestant is Bu Lingye from the prestigious Changsha Academy. Only at the age of 16 he already mastered the violin.”
A young man wearing a neat suit walked on the stage as he bowed.
” Good Morning, Everyone. My name is Bu Lingye and I am going to perform Le roi s’amuse: VII. Passepied (Arr. Elman).”
After saying this, Bu Lingye started to play his piece using his violin. The audience became silent as they were immersed in the tune.
When Bu Lingye finished his performance, the audience burst into applause.
” Not bad…I know him.” Su Lan nodded. ” Unfortunately, he made two minor mistakes during the first half. I don’t think the judges would have missed that either.”
” Hehe, As expected of you, Sis.” Su Xing’er chuckled. ” I am sure you can crush all the participants here.”
However, Jia Hao remained silent as if he was contemplating something. As time passed, one after another participants came, delivering outstanding performance.
Most of the audience never expected to see such young men and women delivering such fantastic performances. They are the ones who are called true prodigies.
” Next performance, Here comes Li Bei of Purple Cloud Academy.”
” Eh? Isn’t she from our school, Sister Lan?” Su Xing’er asked with a surprise.
” She is in her final year, With me.” Su Lan nodded. ” Her performance has been well. Let’s see how she does here.”
” Hello everyone, My name is Li Bei and today, I am going to perform Raining Clouds and Boat.”
Suddenly, Su Lan’s expression changed when she heard that. ” What?”
Su Xing’er also found something amiss. ” Wait, Sister, Wasn’t that your piece?”
Su Yunqi also frowned. ” What’s happening? I thought Su Lan was supposed to play that song?”
” This…This is impossible.” Su Lan mumbled. ” We need to submit our songs beforehand, so there would be no repetition. I am sure I picked this song earlier.”
“That’s strange…” Su Yunqi frowned. ” How can they make such a mistake here? I need to go and talk with the management.”
” I doubt we have time for that, Mother.” Su Lan sighed as she got up. ” The next number is me.”
” Lan, Are you going to play the same song?” Su Xing’er became anxious. ” I don’t think the judges would like that.”
” I…”
” Sister Lan, Don’t worry. Since I am here, why do you have to worry?” Jia Hao grinned as he stood up, taking the hands of Su Lan as he guided her backstage.
” Hao’er…”
Suddenly, Su Lan’s cheeks turned red as she followed Jia Hao like that. She felt like all her worries vanishing like smoke as they reached backstage.
Li Bei finally finished her performance. One could see that she had given her. As she bowed before everyone, a cold smirk appeared on her face.
” What a beautiful performance!” The host shouted.
” However, Don’t think this is the end. The next participant is from the same Purple Cloud Academy, and a prodigy in both Violin and Piano, Su Lan!”
Jia Hao saw Li Bei coming to the backstage as she glanced at him and Su Lan. Su Lan bit her lips with anger, but Jia Hao stopped her.
As the person taking a new piano to the stage, Jia Hao shouted, ” No, We don’t need that one. The one Li Bei played would be alright”
Hearing that, Li Bei halted her steps as her expression changed.
