Chapter 467 - Proud like a Little Peacock
Yan Ziyuan suppressed the pain in her heart, sweeping her eyes over him.
As expected from Gu Ziyan, after he coughed, Yan Ziyuan got up, walked over and asked a few questions of concern. They seemed very close. But Gu Ziyan was irritated as he stared at her, expecting that she…
However, Yan Ziyuan just inclined her head while staring at him. She then shifted her gaze and concentrated her attention on the person who was currently plucking the zither. Her face was pretty as always, and her pursed lips were small. Overall acting like a small and arrogant peacock.
“Big Brother Ziyan!” Rong Yan suddenly called out, making him lose enthusiasm. He waved his hand to both indicate that his illness wasn’t that serious and to let her return to her original seat.
After a short while, it was finally Yan Ziyuan’s turn. A kid came by while holding a zither, faintly frowning, because her current zither and her previous one were not the least alike. In fact, the latter was made of charred horse’s tail, thus the chords were black. As for the new string instrument, the chords were gold instead. However, it matched her clothes perfectly…
Actually, Yan Ziyuan has never worn red clothes in front of Gu Ziyan, aware that he himself disliked bright-colored clothes and preferred a plain style of dressing. Hence, she wore that way all along. Sometimes he would even praise her, making her eyes shine for a long while.
But now, Yan Ziyuan throughly bid farewell to her past while resuming her natural manners. It turned out that her character was in truth flamboyant and ardent… The current her, who would behave like a little attendant in order to please him previously, was irradiating a powerful aura at the moment!
Who knew how many male gazes were lingering on her… Yet, her eyes weren’t on his body anymore.
He sipped the tea again. It tasted even more bitter.
Concerning Yan Ziyuan’s skills, they have indeed improved compared to last time’s. The notes flowed as smoothly as water coming down from the mountain, hence making it more soulful. But after two short pieces, she stopped playing.
The audience applauded, showing that they really enjoyed her performance. And maybe because Ning Xuemo’s teachings were different, but her play stirred their hearts, making them want to follow the melody. As soon as it ended, the people still wished to continue to hear more. All of them were convinced that she had exhibited the best in this competition.
Even the other three judgers’ evaluations of her were high, saying many words. As for Gu Ziyan, he only commented with two words: “Very good”
Yan Ziyuan simply pursed her lips, while lowering her eyes.
Although he was a synthetic person, but he shouldn’t be that perfunctory! It was obviously an act…
It looked like he really disliked her.
She felt a tingling sensation in her eyes, but her tears were quickly suppressed after she blinked several times. Like with the rest of the examiners, she politely nodded her head at Gu Ziyan to express her thankfulness. Afterwards, her sight shifted onto Ning Xuemo, wanting to also hear her judgement.
Of course, Ning Xuemo pointed out some of her minor flaws, and then concluded with a smile: “You were the best performer until now”
