Love Symphony: Let Your Heart Beat for Me-Chapter 86 - 43 New Year’s Eve Party (2)

"Next, let us enjoy the string quartet ’String Quartet in G Major’ brought to you by Xu Chengyang and fellow students from the orchestral department..."

The fair-skinned and beautiful host finished announcing the performance, and a burst of applause erupted from the audience seats below as the lights gradually dimmed. After a staff member hurriedly came on stage and placed a chair, Xu Chengyang led the three of them onto the stage.

The spotlight swayed with their steps, and when the four of them stood firmly on stage, the lights fully illuminated them, causing the audience to stir with exclamations and discussions—

"Oh my gosh, isn’t that Fu Weiheng?"

"Wow, the program didn’t say Fu Weiheng would be here—"

"So, is he playing the viola?"

"It’s amazing that they got Fu Weiheng to be a supporting act? I once found it hard to even get a ticket to his concert, and today I see him perform for free?"

"Didn’t you notice the cellist is Su Wan, and Fu Weiheng is her boyfriend? She probably invited him..."

"I thought they were just having fun, but Fu Weiheng really cares about her. It’s true love..."

...

Sitting in the front row right below the stage, Old Charlie had a face that screamed "What?"

Old Charlie incredulously rubbed his presbyopic eyes.

Is he really Neil? Is he really that prized student Neil, whom I used every trick to trick into coming to school for lectures and concerts?

In the third row, Yao Ye was also stunned. Wasn’t it supposed to be Mr. Ye? How did it turn into this unexpected switch!

On stage, the four of them politely bowed slightly to the audience and took their positions.

Except for Su Wan, the other three stood holding their instruments. From left to right, the furthest left was the second violin, Qiaozi, followed by the first violin, Xu Chengyang, then the cellist Su Wan, and finally the violist Fu Weiheng.

The audience had already fallen silent. Fu Weiheng raised his instrument and, in a calm voice only heard by the three of them, instructs, "Start from the fifth beat." freёnovelkiss-com

The three nodded in understanding. After Fu Weiheng tapped his foot four times to establish the rhythm, a bright and expansive, rhythmically clear ensemble sound resonated on the stage.

As Fu Weiheng had said, Xu Chengyang didn’t need to worry about any discord in their ensemble. For Fu Weiheng, who was rich in performance experience, this piece was second nature, so throughout the performance, he followed their melody and rhythm, perfectly matching each phrase without the slightest error.

At the final measure of the piece, the four of them together lifted their bows to conclude. After a moment of silence for three seconds, thunderous applause broke out, and the four of them bowed again to express their gratitude, stepping down from the stage amidst the audience’s eager cheers.

"Ahhh, seriously, Fu the God looks so good, even when playing so coolly!"

"He’s really a refreshing presence in the violin world, I can’t help but want to pounce on him!"

"After listening to his violin for so many years, it’s my first time hearing him play the viola. He’s truly versatile, he can play anything well..."

"Sigh, if my boyfriend had one-tenth of his talent, that would be great..."

...

Back at the theater’s backstage, Su Wan was holding her instrument and couldn’t free her hands to lift her gown, making it inconvenient to walk, having to stop multiple times in the bustling corridor.

Fu Weiheng, who had been following behind her, saw her pause again and directly went to lift part of her wide gown, speaking in a calm tone, "If it’s inconvenient, why not speak up?"

Sensing the lightening beneath her, Su Wan looked up at his hand holding the gown and softly smiled, "Hmm... thank you, Neil."

Fu Weiheng pointed forward with his instrument to the now-cleared pathway, "Let’s go."

Upon reaching the lounge, Su Wan immediately went to the changing room to change out of the long dress. Just off the stage needing the restroom, Xu Chengyang returned, and seeing Fu Weiheng squatting to pack Su Wan’s instrument, he gratefully pulled Qiaozi to thank him, "God, thank you, really thank you so much..."

Qiaozi chimed in, "Yes, God, thanks for saving the day! There’s no way to repay you!"

Fu Weiheng stood up, zipped the instrument case closed, and smiled faintly, "It’s a small matter, just a favor for someone."

Old Charlie, who had just stepped to the entrance of the lounge, happened to hear Fu Weiheng’s words, couldn’t help but internally retort: Hmph, if it wasn’t something Neil willingly wanted to do, who could possibly persuade him!

Su Wan changed clothes and came out of the dressing room, seeing Old Charlie staring wistfully at Fu Weiheng who was packing the instrument in front of the vanity, approached and called, "Mr. Charlie?"

Her voice was just loud enough, entering the ears of the three of them, and in unison, they turned to look, Old Charlie adjusted the small bow tie on his collar, gave a slight smile to Su Wan, and approached Fu Weiheng with a mentor-like demeanor, "Neil."

Fu Weiheng glanced at him indifferently, nodding, "Mr. Charlie."

Being incited by Fu Weiheng’s composed demeanor, Old Charlie hastily said, "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t do things that are thankless!"

Fu Weiheng: "Now I want to do them."

Old Charlie: "..."

Su Wan, Xu Chengyang, and Qiaozi together: "?"

Old Charlie angrily confessed, "I sincerely invited Neil to be a guest at our New Year’s Eve party, but he refused."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chengyang patted Old Charlie’s shoulder, speaking pointedly, "Old Charlie, you just don’t understand. To invite the God, you need to see—" her gaze shifted, landing directly on Su Wan, "who’s asking."

Su Wan: "..."

Old Charlie then looked towards Su Wan, and sarcastically remarked to Fu Weiheng, "Betrayed your kind for a feminine allure."

Fu Weiheng: "..."

Beside them, Qiaozi hesitated for a long time and then asked, "Director, are you and the God very familiar?"

Old Charlie huffed and tossed his head, his old face lifted arrogantly, "Hmph, just the most unlovable student I’ve ever taught!"

Su Wan: "..."

Xu Chengyang: "..."

Qiaozi: "..."
