Chapter 1100: Chapter 1100: Moonlight Rondo
During lunch break, the arts committee member brought a registration form to Zhou Chengchen, "Brother Chen, this is yours, fill it out."
Zhou Chengchen took a look and saw it was the arrangement for the Christmas event. Since she was performing a piano solo, she had to report in advance what piece she was playing so they could schedule accordingly.
After completing the front part, Zhou Chengchen paused for a moment at the "piece" section, then looked at Xi Siyan, "Xi, what kind of music do you like to listen to?"
Xi Siyan was originally focused on his competition exercises. Upon hearing Zhou Chengchen’s voice, he furrowed his brows and turned his head slightly to see the registration form in front of Zhou Chengchen. His eyes flickered slightly, and he rarely took the initiative to ask, "Are you going for a piano solo?"
"Yes, so whatever you like to listen to, I’ll play. Is that alright?"
Xi Siyan’s expression became somewhat strange, unclear to others. He seemed not very happy, yet there was a hint of restraint.
Zhou Chengchen keenly sensed it, pursed her lips, and spoke, "If you don’t like it, I won’t participate. I..."
"Sonata in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2. Is that okay?"
"Huh?"
Zhou Chengchen was momentarily stunned by him. She quickly nodded, "Sure, sure, Xi, you like ’Moonlight’? Like Beethoven?"
Xi Siyan had already turned back and continued to look at his competition exercises, but still responded to Zhou Chengchen, "Yes."
The Sonata in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2 is also commonly known as the "Moonlight Sonata." It’s quite difficult, but it’s not a challenge for Zhou Chengchen. However, the complete piece is too long, so Zhou Chengchen thought carefully and chose the first movement.
After filling out the registration form, she got up to hand it to the arts committee member. Xi Siyan stood up to let her pass, watching her distant back, a hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes before quickly disappearing deep within.
Once, he was also part of the piano chair. Xi Siyan liked the piano, loved it since childhood. His ten fingers were long, even longer than ordinary people, praised by teachers as hands born for piano.
He had studied for a period, but only for a short while before stopping. His personal history was too complex, not allowing him to continue.
The day he left the piano classroom, Xi Siyan remembered clearly. In another advanced class, he heard "Moonlight."
Xi Siyan quickly collected himself and continued his exercises.
Zhou Chengchen soon returned, sitting for a moment before leaning over again, "Xi, I’ll play ’Moonlight’ for you, so in return, would you agree to do one thing for me?"
Xi Siyan turned his head to look at her with a furrowed brow, finding Zhou Chengchen’s words rather odd.
Zhou Chengchen herself blushed a bit. Okay, it was indeed odd, but she had always relied on her thick skin in life, right?
Zhou Chengchen was embarrassed for only a second, then she seriously said, "Don’t worry, I won’t rush you into being my boyfriend, just one small thing, okay?"
Xi Siyan continued to look at her with the utmost peculiarity. Just as Zhou Chengchen thought he might say something to refuse, she heard him softly agree, "Alright."
Zhou Chengchen’s eyes lit up, "It’s a promise, no backing out."
Xi Siyan had already turned back, "Yes."

In the following period, something incredibly bizarre happened in the Zhou Family. Miss Zhou, who was never able to focus, actually persisted in practicing piano in the music room for one hour every day, and two hours on weekends, always playing the same piece.
