Love Symphony: Let Your Heart Beat for Me-Chapter 83 - 40: The Eve of the Party

After Christmas, New Year’s Day was also approaching.

The gala was on the evening of December 30th, and taking advantage of the last few days, Su Wan and Xu Chengyang, along with the others, were rehearsing intensely for their quartet.

In the blink of an eye, it was December 29th, the day before the gala. The four of them had, as usual, agreed to meet at the practice room at ten in the morning. However, a small accident occurred—

"What? You’re in the hospital?" Xu Chengyang clutched his phone, exclaiming. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"How are you now? Are you feeling any better?"

"As long as you’re okay, I’ll handle the gala stuff. You just rest for now..."

"Oh, it’s no big deal. I’ll find someone in the meantime. If worst comes to worst, we’ll just play a trio... You just rest!"

...

Hanging up the phone, Xu Chengyang instantly deflated like a balloon, slumping onto the piano bench, leaning against the keys, and letting out a heavy sigh: "Ah Min can’t make it..."

Su Wan paused in the middle of tuning the violin, "What happened?"

Xu Chengyang said, "She twisted her foot yesterday. It’s not very serious, but the doctor advised her not to get out of bed for the next couple of days..."

Qiaozi asked, "...What should we do then?"

Xu Chengyang was on the verge of tears, "Where am I supposed to find a viola now?"

Qiaozi spread his hands, "All the few violists in our department already have performances."

Su Wan thought for a moment and said, "Why don’t I ask Miss Fu to help?"

Xu Chengyang’s head immediately lifted, "Who?"

Su Wan replied, "Miss Fu’s husband plays the viola."

Xu Chengyang said, "Then hurry up and ask quickly..."

Twenty minutes later, Fu Weijin sent over a contact card via WeChat, saying—

Jin: Ivan said he’s available, and he happens to have time tomorrow night. He said he would meet with you and practice over lunch. Add him on WeChat; it’s more convenient.

Su Wan sent a "thank you" and added Ye Yin Huan on WeChat.

Moments later, the notification of a friend request being accepted popped up, and Ye Yin Huan asked straight away without wasting words: What piece?

Swan: "Mozart, ’Eine kleine Nachtmusik’"

Ivan: "I’ll pick up my viola and be there in about half an hour."

Swan: "Thank you, Mr. Ye."

Ivan: "We’ll all be family sooner or later, no need to be formal."

Seeing the last sentence, Su Wan blushed, locked her screen, and put her phone away.

Xu Chengyang returned from the restroom, rushing in front of her, anxiously bouncing on his feet, "How’s it going, how’s it going?"

Su Wan replied, "Well, Mr. Ye said he’d be here in half an hour."

Xu Chengyang was overjoyed to the point of tears, "Wanwan, I’m going to miss you when you get married, what am I going to do without you!"

Su Wan: "..."

Twenty minutes later, Ye Yin Huan drove a black Land Rover into Yan University’s campus parking lot. Su Wan and Xu Chengyang went there to greet him specially, to show their sincerity.

When Ye Yin Huan got out of the Land Rover, carrying several old violin cases, Xu Chengyang almost had his eyes glued to him.

The man was wearing a black duffle coat, with a light gray round-neck sweater underneath, accompanied by a dark plaid shirt, paired with black jeans and white casual shoes. Under the warm sunlight, he looked as gentle as jade, elegant and modest.

Xu Chengyang, a true admirer of good looks, immediately approached with a smile and flattery, "Hello, Mr. Ye, thank you so much."

Su Wan greeted, "Thanks for the trouble, Mr. Ye."

Ye Yin Huan nodded with a slight smile, "It’s nothing, just a small matter, let’s go to the practice room."

Xu Chengyang cheerfully agreed, reaching out to show him the way.

Observing Ye Yin Huan’s tall, long-legged figure from behind, Xu Chengyang whispered in Su Wan’s ear, gritting his teeth, "Wanwan, you’re so lucky, Lawyer Jiang, Mr. Ye, and your husband—you’re surrounded by handsome guys!"

Su Wan’s face reddened at the mention of "your husband," her thoughts wandering, "It’s alright..."

Xu Chengyang continued babbling, "Mr. Ye has Miss Fu, the God has you, I just wonder if Lawyer Jiang is single..."

Su Wan suddenly recalled the first time she met Jiang Zhiyan at a convenience store, inadvertently catching a glimpse of a photo in his wallet. Tucked in the wallet, it must be precious, likely someone he cherishes highly.

Su Wan spoke hesitantly, "Even though I don’t know if Jiang Zhiyan has a girlfriend, he probably has someone he likes..."

Xu Chengyang, desperate, held his head in mock despair, "Why doesn’t heaven gift me a handsome man!"

Su Wan thought back on Xu Chengyang’s boyfriends in recent years, unapologetically pointing out, "The heavens haven’t been stingy with you on handsome guys during these four years in college."

Xu Chengyang: "...Shit!"
