Chapter 188 Competing on the same stage
It's eleven on Saturday.
NTU’s National Day Party and Freshman Welcome Party was held on time at [-] o’clock in the evening.
Normally, during the seven-day long holiday, most students go home or travel, so not many people go to the party.
However, after learning that Joey and An Yuan were going to perform on the same stage, and the show was all about piano, the whole school was in a state of shock.
The first head-to-head contest between two major school beauties, who doesn’t want to know the outcome?
Therefore, the auditorium, which can accommodate more than 2000 people, was packed with people. Even the aisles upstairs and downstairs were packed with people, waiting to witness the moment when the two seminaries competed head-on.
When the host announced the official start of the party, two "boys" wearing white shirts, black pants, and masks squeezed out of the crowd in the aisle, stopped at the rightmost seat in the third row in front of the first floor, and took out their tickets , ask the two students occupying seats to give up their seats.
After all, these students are elites from prestigious schools, so they are still very reasonable and obediently stand up and give up their seats.
The two sat down and saw that everyone's attention was on the stage and the light on the side was dim, so they took off their masks with confidence.
The student union responsible for organizing the party was very naughty and actually arranged the performance of Joey and An Yuan at the end.
Although the audience criticized this, it was normal for the two school beauties to appear in the finale.
In addition, the previous programs were generally good, and the audience enjoyed watching them without feeling bored.
Finally, at around nine o'clock, the finale came.
The audience stopped shouting and waited quietly to watch the show.
The host's voice was a little excited: "Now, let's invite Joey, a freshman from the history department, to appear -"
"The program she brought to everyone was a piano solo, Liszt's "Harmony of the Night."
There was warm applause from the audience.
If you like to listen to piano or have practiced piano seriously, you must know the name of this piece.
It's difficult to play, and it sounds good. Playing it well is definitely the ultimate audio-visual enjoyment.
A student from the Conservatory of Music said: "She dares to play this piece on such an occasion. She seems to be very confident in herself."
Some people disagreed: "She is a history student, how good can she play the piano? Even if she had some ability before, she probably has deteriorated now."
Most students thought: "The goddess is so beautiful. Once she sits on the stage, everyone can only see her. It doesn't matter how she plays."
Under such eyes, Joey walked onto the stage in a white strapless dress, bowed to the audience, then walked to the piano and sat down.
Her taste in clothing, charming figure, elegant manners and calm demeanor won praise from the audience.
Many people whispered: "Wow, if this wasn't a school auditorium, I really thought she was a princess or a noble daughter somewhere, attending a salon of high society."
"I'm really curious about what kind of family it would be like to cultivate her kind of temperament..."
All the surprises and discussions quickly disappeared the moment Joey played the piano.
At first, the sound of the piano was soothing, and the audience paid more attention to her beauty and brilliance.
But soon, her music conquered everyone.
Her beauty, which no one paid attention to anymore, was completely lost in the sound of her piano.
The song is over.
The lingering sound is still there.
No one wakes up from the dream.
All quiet.
Even after Joey bowed to the audience and walked off the stage, no one remembered to respond.
Until the host came to his senses and hurried to the stage, he said sincerely: "Classmate Joey's piano performance was so wonderful. It left a very good impression and feeling on everyone, including me."
"Let us thank Joey with warm applause and hope that we will have more opportunities to listen to her performance in the future!"
Only then did the audience react, as if waking up from a dream, and burst into deafening applause.
The students from the Conservatory of Music even stood up and screamed loudly: "It's great! It's definitely a master level! I didn't expect that we could hear such a perfect performance at the school party!"
"With this level, she can definitely give a special concert! I really don't know how she can study history with her level?"
Chu Ruoruo, Jiya and others sat in the audience, clapping their hands, and had to admit that Joey's performance was perfect.
Ji Ya gritted her teeth, with jealousy in her eyes: "Joy plays the piano so well, I don't believe An Yuan can play better than her!"
Chu Ruoruo nodded: "The Ye family once sent Anyuan to learn piano, but she seemed to have stopped learning after a short time. No one has ever seen her play the piano. Her piano level should not be very high."
Gu Yinling pouted and said, "Then she will make a fool of herself this time."
Not only did they think so, almost everyone in the audience thought so.
And Joey still appears first, and the audience will definitely be the first to take the lead.
While trying to calm down the shock that Joey had given her, the host announced: "Now we have An Yuan, a freshman from the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The program she brings to us is the piano solo "Call of the Sky."
"This is also the last program of this evening party. Please enjoy it quietly."
An Yuan, with waterfall-like long hair hanging down her waist and a goose-yellow linen dress, walked onto the stage gracefully. After bowing to the audience, she walked to the piano and sat down.
There was another exclamation in the audience.
"Fairies are fairies. They are full of fairy spirit and are not like the fireworks of the world. They are really pleasing to the eye."
"An Yuan is less noble than Joey, but more casual than Joey. It's rare..."
An Yuan was distracted, took a deep breath, placed his hands on the black and white keys, and closed his eyes.
The place quieted down.
Everyone is looking at her.
Finger pressed.
In the silence, there were sounds like tigers roaring and dragons roaring, as if coming from the depths of the abyss, vaguely brewing a storm that swept everything.
The audience felt their hearts tremble, their eyelids twitched, and they subconsciously held their breath, feeling as if the sky was falling.
The vague sounds are getting louder and louder, making people feel fearful and curious at the same time.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a "bang" and something exploded.
Astronomy students suddenly shouted: "The singularity explodes and the universe is born!"
"Matter is scattered and space is expanding!"
"The temperature drops and galaxies appear!"
"A long time passed, life appeared, and mankind cried for the first time..."
The audience suddenly realized that this was "The Call of the Sky".
By this time, no one cared about how beautiful Anyuan was, who was better between her and Joey, etc. Everyone just listened to her music quietly, imagined the birth of the universe, and felt the call of the sky.
When the song ended, the audience applauded enthusiastically.
However, this reaction seems to be incomparable to Joey's.
An Yuan didn't seem to be affected by this contrast. He bowed to the audience and prepared to leave.
But the host walked over quickly and said sincerely: "Classmate An Yuan, please wait."
Anyuan stopped and blinked.
The host stood beside her and said to the audience: "At this party, thirteen judges will select the first, second and third prizes on the spot."
"While the judges are scoring, on behalf of the majority of students, I would like to conduct a small interview with An Yuan, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and Joey, who returned from overseas."
She looked backstage: "Classmate Joey, can you come on stage to accept this little interview?"
Joey nodded slightly, stepped on stage, and stood next to An Yuan.
There was another exclamation in the audience.
So beautiful!
One of them is already extremely beautiful, but two people standing together can make people float directly to the heaven, and feel like they are gods.
The host said: "Classmate An Yuan, I would like to ask you, the piece you played just now, "The Call of the Sky," is magnificent and far-reaching, majestic yet peaceful and lonely, and full of imagination."
"Some people say that this piece of music reflects the birth of the universe and the evolution of life. Is that true?"
An Yuan smiled: "Yes."
The host asked again: "I like this piece of music very much. Can you tell us who composed this piece of music?"
Anyuan smiled: "I created it."
