Chapter 504: Same song, «Phoenix Courting Phoenix» (Part 2)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Everyone’s eyes gathered on Ye Tian Xie and most of them seemed like they were watching a good play. Su Fei Fei visibly became nervous…..The way he looked now, was he really prepared to play the piano? But……After being with Ye Tian Xie for so long, she clearly knew that while he was literate and could do basic calculations, he was simply a mess when it came to other topics like geography, history, politics, and biology. Playing instruments? With his lazy personality, how could he have the time to learn an instrument.

Even taking a hundred steps back, even if he knew how to play the piano…..Qin He’s high skills was known by everyone, it deserved to be called a master level. This kind of piano skill was clearly trained from a small age and with the Qin Family’s background, they would only invite world class masters as teachers. Even like this, it would take several years to reach this level. Even if Ye Tian Xie knew how to play, how could he compare with him. With Qin He’s «Phoenix Courting Phoenix» to compare to, even if he could play it, it would be suppressed to the point of beaten black and blue, creating contempt for himself. There would be people that would take this chance to mock him.

Under everyone’s strange looks, the piano didn’t sound for a long time. Ye Tian Xie’s hands were on the keys and he looked down, looking at his hands on the keys, like he had been petrified. That silent continued, but the strange thing was that not a single person disrupted that silence.

This was because they could feel that the man sitting in front of the piano had changed into a different person.

There was no sound coming from the piano, but a deep emotion silently filled the air. This feeling was clear and strong, like it was magic, seeping into the hearts of everyone present……

This was a thick sadness that had a strong sense of missing something. It was filled with memories, regret, and pain. There was no sounds, no words, no expressions, and no movements…..It was like emotion taking physical form. They could even clearly feel the complex feelings inside of it, making them feel suppressed or even constricted.

How deep of a emotion was this to release this kind of aura……

Not a single person spoke and even Qin He’s group who was waiting to watch a good play was stunned on the spot. They could not cut in at all because of the aura released by a single person. What kind of man was this, what kind of experiences did he have to have this kind of deep emotions. How could he release this kind of emotion while being silent…..

Ding…..

Ye Tian Xie’s fingers finally moved and the first note after this long period of silence seemed like it didn’t ring in their ears, but rather in their hearts. It quickly spread to every nerve in their body, exciting every emotion they had.

From just this single note came a smooth flood of piano music. It flowed out from Ye Tian Xie’s fingers and slowly seeped into their ears and their hearts…..

The phoenix returns home and crosses the four seas to see the phoenix. There is nowhere to go and only the phoenix is in my heart! A beautiful woman in her room, the people outside are jealous of her. Instead of a duck wrapped around a neck, I prefer you flying free like a swan! Phoenix, phoenix come to me, I will be your wife forever. We’ll come together in the middle of the night and who will know? Flying high into the sky together, you cannot understand my sorrow.

How familiar of a song this was. It wasn’t just passed down from the Chinese Han Dynasty, but they had just heard it enter their ears…..

It was the «Phoenix Courting Phoenix» Qin He had just played.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to play piano like everyone thought and he was actually this skilled in playing…..The song he played was actually the same as Qin He’s.

Only, hearing the «Phoenix Courting Phoenix», not a single person rejected it at all and there wasn’t even a single person that made a sound. They all looked at Ye Tian Xie in a daze and even some girls unconsciously placed their hands on their chest because there was a deep hurt feeling inside……

«Phoenix Courting Phoenix» was a song for professing love and the feelings contained within it were warm and gentle. However, they actually felt a deep sorrow being contained within this song.

Ye Tian Xie closed his eyes and in his mind, a scene that would appear in his dreams each night played…..In this life, he had only played piano for a single girl. When that girl left his side, he never touched the piano ever again. That piano that belonged to them was placed inside her room for three years, remaining spotless……

“Tian Xie, I’ll teach you how to play piano today, alright? The sound of the piano is the most beautiful and the sound of the piano is closest to one’s soul.”

“That….Can I not learn?”

“Of course not! Knowing to play piano is not a technique, but it will give one a graceful aura. My Tian Xie will learn how to play piano and will be able to get girls to love him.”

“Hei…..I just want my Xian’er to love me! Precious Xian’er, spare me.”

“But I really want to hear Tian Xie play a song for me one day…..Tian Xie, just learn to play the piano, you don’t have to learn anything else, alright? Alright…..”

“……”

Xiao Er acting spoiled was a lethal weapon that he could never reject.

The meeting faded, filled with sweetness and bitterness of loneliness…..All the memories you have given me are the most beautiful pictures in my mind. They are colourful, just like a dream. I’ve dreamed countless times of our meeting, dreamed of our home together, dreamed of us watching the day and night together. Your appearance was the most beautiful scenery in the world. Your voice was like the world’s finest singing. Even if I die of old age one day, I hope that it can be in your embrace. Sweetly resting like a little baby, forever…..

Xian’er, where are you right now……

The sadness in the music reached its peak and people’s eyes began to flash with tears. With it, there were many silent tears that fell down. Their eyes became hazy, as Ye Tian Xie faded in their eyes. They who had been influenced by the music had already forgotten who he was and where they were. All that was in their heart was the mood swings the piano music brought. That rich and sad music that came from Ye Tian Xie’s fingers deeply moved them, as it created an irresistible resonance in their hearts.

A person that could make people cry with his sad son could be described as a genius of playing piano. However, Ye Tian Xie’s fingers that were like dancing elves and his song that was gentle had a sadness that resonated with people, this could not be just described as a “genius”.

Unknowingly, Su Fei Fei’s eyes were already filled with tears. Zuo Po Jun and Murong Qiu Shui also closed their eyes in pain, as their hearts felt like they were being suffocated. They knew who he was thinking of and where this sorrow came from. The scene from three years ago appeared in their mind, when he almost went insane and fell into a deep depression for a long time……How much pain his heart must have been in. Three years later, the pain and feelings of missing her never faded, just being silently pressed down in his heart…..

Xian’er, where are you now…..They called out in their hearts together again and again.

The piano’s music suddenly stopped and the «Phoenix Courting Phoenix» was half over. Suddenly, the melody that was filled with sorrow changed slightly, but this slight change pushed away the sadness in everyone’s heart like a wild storm, disappearing quickly…..

Piano music at its peak could affect a person’s emotions and mood, but they who had heard countless masters before never knew that the effect could be this strong.

At this moment, the sadness became more and more warm and gentle.

All the scenes concerning Li Xian Er were hidden in the depths of his heart and it was replaced with his meeting with Su Fei Fei, as well as every second and minute he spent with her each day…..

Su Fei Fei…..The second girl he was willing to play the piano for.

She was a completely different girl from Li Xian Er and if Li Xian Er was a goddess from the heavens, Su Fei Fei was a princess of the human world. However, there was a strange indescribable charm about her that made it impossible for him to resist. When he realized it, he was already use to having her in his life. If he didn’t have her…..He didn’t even dare think about it.

That incomparable background, but for him, she was willing to be a normal girl. She wasn’t willful, she wasn’t lazy, she never even brought a servant with her. She used her two hands to clean his home and take care of him…….

She would sometimes have the temper of a young miss and would be a bit overbearing, but her cuteness at that time filed his heart with joy. For him, she even put down her dignity to forgive him for his matter with Situ Luo Yu and was willing to accept it…..At that time, what filled Ye Tian Xie’s heart was a deep emotion that couldn’t be described.

He had already decided that no matter what happened in the future, Su Fei Fei…..he would never let her go. In the past, he agreed to protect her and live with her, then he would protect her for her entire life.

The gentle breeze sounds of the piano wet everyone’s heart like sweet honeydew melon. The warm emotions in the piano notes gradually became stronger.

«Phoenix Courting Phoenix» was a zither song for showing one’s love and the previous sad feeling felt like a misconception. The current «Phoenix Courting Phoenix» was a song that was filled with love and romance.

The piano notes danced and in that intoxicating warmth and gentleness, there was a decision that would never change. It was like people could see a pair of lovers kissing in the breeze, as if they were hearing a man use his most firm words to give a woman a pledge of eternal love. As well as telling her that he would never leave her and would protect her for her entire life…..

That deep sadness and that expressed love, this was a different «Phoenix Courting Phoenix».

“Fei Fei, happy birthday.”

Ye Tian Xie’s hands were still placed on the keys, but the music had stopped without them knowing. One second….five seconds…..ten seconds, it still remained that silent. There wasn’t a single person that had recovered from this song, there was only Ye Tian Xie giving this happy blessing with a warm smile.
