Chapter Ch14 - The Adonis Fell From His Pedestal In A Hilarious Way

Lin Feiran steadied his mind and started to play. The magnificent and intense sound of the piano quickly filled the entire music room.

Lin Feiran had started to learn the piano in elementary school. The main purpose was to cultivate his character and develop an additional skill; he never thought of being a professional musician. So, after passing grade 10 in his first year of high school, he did not seek to further his ability. Typically, he just played for fun or as a hobby.

But this level of skill was already sufficient. Lin Feiran kept his back straight and chin slightly lifted as his slender and steady fingers danced over the keys at a dazzling speed. Every once in a while, he would lift his eyes to take a quick glance at the sheet music before lowering them to the piano keys once more. His serious and focused profile looked even more handsome than usual and when he played the parts with intense and heavy chords, his slender and small body seemed to emit alongside the music a power that could make hearts tremble…

The air between Lin Feiran and Gu Kaifeng seemed to be warmed by the setting sun. Gu Kaifeng watched silently from the side, pretending not to notice that Lin Feiran intentionally rubbed lightly against his thigh each time he pressed and released the foot pedal.

He isn’t even well-behaved when playing the piano, is his butt itching? Gu Kaifeng found it funny and shifted so he was sitting closer to Lin Feiran. The two boys’ thighs became tightly pressed together, their heat melding through the trousers of their school uniforms. Lin Feiran looked intently at the sheet music as though he had not noticed at all. But his ears turned redder and redder, completely revealing his inner heart that would not remain calm.

Lin Feiran: “……”

Tal, talisman, what are you doing? Sticking this close together is gay, ah!

In this atmosphere which could be said to be very suggestive, Lin Feiran replayed this piece several times. The first few playthroughs had wrong notes, sometimes more and sometimes less, but the last time he was able to play it perfectly all in one go. If he could maintain this level of performance without the sheet music, he would be able to confidently go on stage.

The final note was still quavering slightly in the air. Lin Feiran was calm on the surface, but in his heart he was already giving himself continuous rounds of applause!

Gu Kaifeng looked at the expression on Lin Feiran’s face that was 80 percent plain clouds and light winds and 20 percent self-satisfied, and could not stop himself from smiling.

Lin Feiran turned his head to glance at Gu Kaifeng and pretended to ask modestly, “I didn’t play too badly, right?”

Quickly, say it was very good! Praise me!

Gu Kaifeng seemed to see through Lin Feiran’s little act. His eyes curved slightly and he said, “You played especially well.”

After saying this, Gu Kaifeng began to applaud. He raised his hands and clapped then lowered them and clapped again, explaining, “This is an ovation.”

“Thank you for your praise.” Being praised so highly, Lin Feiran was very happy and his vanity was fully satisfied, his little tail sticking straight up to the heavens. He pointed to himself with his thumbs and, with an irrepressible smile tugging at the corner of his lips, said, “I’ll play and sing you a song as thanks. Pick any popular song. Big brother knows everything.”

“Whatever you like.” Gu Kaifeng squeezed his eyes shut. “I’ll like anything.”

“Okay.” Lin Feiran nodded, thinking, Your preferences are pretty broad.

Lin Feiran thought for several seconds and picked a slow song that was suitable for musical accompaniment in which he was well-practiced. He thought back to junior high and how whenever he played this song in the music room he would collect enough fangirls to fill a choir.
