Chapter 309: Chapter 309: It’s Him_1
Bai Shuxuan was startled and chose not to go home immediately but to listen to soothing music at a nearby cafe to calm her emotions.
Ye Fei was worried something might happen to her, so he went with her.
After a few cups of hot coffee and listening to the captivating melody, Bai Shuxuan’s tense mood gradually eased.
"Dr. Ye, thank you so much just now. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid..."
Bai Shuxuan pursed her lips, not continuing.
Ye Fei revealed a healing smile, "Don’t keep calling me Dr. Ye, it’s awkward. Just call me Brother Ye."
"Okay, Brother Ye."
Ye Fei softly comforted again, "Who hasn’t encountered a few scumbags in their life? Forget the unhappy moments, just take it as a nightmare. After all, those drunkards received the punishment they deserved, didn’t they?"
Ye Fei obviously understated what he called "punishment."
In fact, his intervention had been far from light.
Two of them were definitely disabled at the fourth level.
The most severely injured one even had a second-level disability.
Even if they fully recovered, they probably wouldn’t be able to take care of themselves completely.
Ye Fei felt no pity for such people, and he didn’t regret his actions in the slightest.
People should receive harsh punishments for the evils they commit!
"Mhm."
A faint smile appeared on Bai Shuxuan’s face.
"By the way, Dr. Ye, Brother Ye, I really didn’t expect you to be so skilled in martial arts."
Ye Fei modestly said, "You’re flattering me. I just like to practice some boxing when I’m free, it’s nothing impressive."
"Cut it out, being overly modest is just hypocrisy, you know!"
Bai Shuxuan counted on her fingers.
"Look at you, not only are you brilliant in medicine, you’re also capable of running such a big music company, and your martial arts are strong, your character is good, and well... you’re also quite handsome."
"Someone like you is like an oppa who walked out of a manga! Too perfect! I really envy your wife, she has such good taste."
Ye Fei was amused to laughter, "If you keep praising me like this, I’ll start to feel like I’m floating."
Now Bai Shuxuan’s nervous mood had completely vanished.
She was back to her mischievous and quirky self.
She sighed playfully, "Ai, what a pity. If only you weren’t married, then I could..."
"Could what?" Ye Fei asked with a light smile.
"I could introduce my best friend Zhong Ning to you! Ha-ha! What else did you think? Cut it out, I already have someone in mind! No matter how perfect you are, you can’t sway my heart!"
Ye Fei shook his head, helpless, this girl was truly a naive silly girl.
"By the way, have you found your Piano Prince?"
As soon as the topic changed to this, Bai Shuxuan became like a frostbitten eggplant, wilted.
Resting her chin on her hand, stirring her coffee, her disappointment was undeniable, "Ah! Don’t mention it, I never thought finding someone could be this difficult. My Piano Prince, where exactly are you, and what are you doing now?"
Murmuring to herself, Bai Shuxuan suddenly looked at her watch.
"Ouch! Quick, the special program is about to start!"
"What special program?" Ye Fei was puzzled.
"This cafe, every evening at nine o’clock, will timely announce a task. Whoever completes the task best among the customers present will receive a beautiful gift. I’m really curious, what will tonight’s task and gift be?"
As she spoke, the quartz clock’s hour hand pointed to nine.
The cafe manager took the stage and announced, "Distinguished guests, the task for tonight is a piano performance. Whoever comes out on top will receive a special custom decoration from our cafe, a Swarovski crystal piano ornament."
With that, the manager lifted the crystal piano high above his head.
Under the light, the crystal piano refracted a dazzling brilliance, it was incredibly dreamy, incredibly beautiful.
Bai Shuxuan clapped excitedly, "So beautiful! I really like it!"
No sooner had the challenge been announced than someone had volunteered to take the stage.
They walked to the piano at the very center of the coffee shop and began to play.
One after another, ten minutes had passed, and already five people had performed in succession.
And each one was more powerful than the last.
Even the manager couldn’t help but marvel, "Tonight’s guests really are a gathering of hidden dragons and crouching tigers! It looks like it’s going to be another fiercely competitive evening!"
But Bai Shuxuan disagreed, tilting her head in a haughty manner and whispering, "Pfft, just this level of skill and they’re being praised to the skies? I’m going to claim the piano decoration tonight! No one else stands a chance!"
Ye Fei smiled indifferently, "That confident, are you?"
"Of course! I’m at piano level ten! You’ve got to be kidding me!"
"That’s impressive! Then please, Miss Bai, take the stage?" Ye Fei made a welcoming gesture with his hand.
Bai Shuxuan didn’t hesitate and stepped up to the stage.
She chose a super challenging piece immediately, Stravinsky’s "Petrushka."
As soon as everyone heard the selection, they gasped in surprise.
They knew a true master had arrived.
However.
After trying a few keys, Bai Shuxuan froze in place.
Seeing her frustrated expression, Ye Fei knew something was definitely wrong and hurried over to ask.
It turned out that Bai Shuxuan had injured two fingers in a scuffle with a drunk just moments before.
It wasn’t noticeable until she touched the piano keys, but as soon as she did, the pain was so intense that it was impossible to perform such a difficult piece.
Meanwhile, the audience had already turned their expectant gazes upon her.
It was a dilemma, a difficult situation to get out of.
"What should I do? This is so embarrassing!"
Bai Shuxuan whispered, regretting her decision to show off.
But Ye Fei remained calm and asked, "That little crystal, do you really want it?"
"Mhm!"
Bai Shuxuan nodded firmly, her face filled with trouble again.
"But..."
"I know, leave this to me," said Ye Fei as he helped Bai Shuxuan down from her seat.
But she looked doubtful, "Huh? Leave it to you? Ye Fei, can you really...?"
Ye Fei didn’t respond.
He gently tested the piano’s sound.
Then.
His fingertips leaped, and a series of melodies that brought joy to the listeners began to fill everyone’s ears.
As the music began to play.
Bai Shuxuan first stared blankly, then was shocked, and finally, she burst into excited tears.
That silhouette, that profile, that skill, that feeling!
No mistake!
It was him!
