Chapter 174 Brother Xiao Is the Piano Prince
The next day, Liu Kexin told Lu Qiang that they wanted to do their rehearsal alone; otherwise, they would not attend the gala. Sure enough, Lu Qiang agreed to help them solve it. Lu Qiang made up his mind that he wanted to see Xiao Bing make an ass of himself in front of Liu Kexin so that he could gain from it. Especially since Xiao Bing had Liu Kexin brought up this idea, it made him think even more that Xiao Bing wanted to take this opportunity to flinch. He would never give him that opportunity.
After signing up, Xiao Bing drove to the hospital to pick up Liu Kexin and then they arrived at the Heavenly Palace of the former North Heaven Queen.
Since the North Heaven Queen had died, the Heavenly Palace had been vacated. Master Hou had sent people here to renovate it. Some of the original staff of the Heavenly Palace had already dispersed, but some had followed Master Hou. Now, the other people sent by Master Hou took over the Northern Manor temporarily and their number was small.
Before coming, Xiao Bing had already told Master Hou, so the people here did not block Xiao Bing’s car and let Xiao Bing’s car stop at the door of the Heavenly Palace.
After Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin had just got out of the car, three people walked toward them. The person walking in front was a middle-aged man wearing a suit. He bent down and said with a smile, “Mr. Xiao, my name is Xu Dahai and I am the acting housekeeper of the Northern Manor. Master Hou asked me to be at your service here. I’m at your service at any time, whatever you want.”
Xiao Bing asked, “Housekeeper Xu, where is the thing I asked you to prepare?”
“Oh, it has been prepared and put in the Heavenly Palace. I asked the people waiting outside the Heavenly Palace to not go in to disturb you. Please tell me if you want anything else.”
This Xu Dahai was very sensible. Xiao Bing was very satisfied and walked toward the Heavenly Palace.
Liu Kexin was next to Xiao Bing and her heart was full of shock. The Northern Manor was one of the largest manors in Jiang City and was luxurious. Especially these servants, they could not be trained by an ordinary family. Each of them was so respectful to Xiao Bing, which surprised Liu Kexin. “Is Xiao Bing the son of some wealthy entrepreneur or the son of an official? I didn’t realize that before.”
Thinking of this, Liu Kexin actually became a little bit nervous.
Xiao Bing noticed Liu Kexin’s thoughts as he walked up the steps. After entering the Heavenly Palace, there was no one with them, and Xiao Bing whispered, “This is my good friend’s home. He is from a wealthy family and doesn’t disparage me for being poor. So I borrowed it for the time being and we will use it for rehearsal these two days.”
Liu Kexin rolled her eyes and pouted. She said, “I don’t believe it. The car you drive is worth a lot of money.”
Xiao Bing said, “The car is also borrowed from my friend.”
“How can he lend you everything?”
“That’s how it is because we’ve grown up together from childhood.”
Liu Kexin was dubious about it. She looked at the Heavenly Palace and was stunned. The Heavenly Palace was so huge and magnificently decorated. There was a red carpet in the palace and a piano in the middle. Liu Kexin’s eyes widened and she looked at Xiao Bing. She asked, “You… are you gonna play the piano?”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Yeah, you also said that two days is not enough time to learn a dance. But playing the piano is not the same. You dance, and I’ll play the piano. Two days are more than sufficient.”
Liu Kexin said bashfully, “Although I’ve learned a little bit of dancing from childhood, I can’t dance well.”
Xiao Bing said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. I am not afraid of being ashamed. What are you afraid of? What’s more, I have already found one of the best dance teachers for you. She will come soon.”
Liu Kexin was surprised and said, “Dancing cannot be learned in a short time. Even a dance teacher may not be able to teach me something so quickly.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “You will know later. Have a seat and I will play a song for you.”
Liu Kexin sat down on the stool opposite the piano. Xiao Bing slowly walked to the back of the piano and sat down. He placed both his hands on the piano gently.
Liu Kexin’s eyes widened. Xiao Bing had given her a tough and heroic feeling in the past. But the moment Xiao Bing sat down, his temperament changed and he became quiet, warm, and tender.
Suddenly, Liu Kexin was fully looking forward to it.
Xiao Bing gently closed his eyes and his fingers flicked. When he pressed the first note, Liu Kexin’s heart trembled. It was just a note, which made Liu Kexin actually feel happy and faintly sad.
Liu Kexin’s lips closed tightly. She had heard this piano music before. This was a great musical composition called “Mariage d’amour” or “Marriage of Love”, which was touching and made people cry. It was composed by the French composers Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint for Richard Clayderman.
It was a sad and touching story. He was just a 14-year-old civilian boy. He met her for the first time in the School of Magic. At that moment, he had a feeling that his life would change because of this. Yes, it did change. He never thought the girl, whom he thought was an angel left in the world by God, was the princess of the Country of Dream and they would be friends.
However, he knew very well in his heart that he could never regard her as only a friend because from the moment he saw her, he was destined to fall in love with her. It was also destined that he would live in pain from then on. He knew that even though he loved her so much, she could never fall in love with an ordinary person, which made him afraid to tell her his love. So he could only deeply bury his love in his heart.
However, one day, he finally could not suppress the affection in his heart and he expressed his love for her…
He left the Country of Dream sadly. His teacher took him in and taught him various skills.
Six years had passed and he had been working hard to forget his affection from the past.
That affection continually fermented like flour, and over time, he found that he loved her even more.
During those six years, he was continually thinking about her and loving her.
After saying goodbye to the teacher, he was going to go back to the Country of Dream to find her.
Now he was back in his memories.
When the sun rose over the horizon, he walked toward the castle in the sun.
At this moment, his beloved princess was walking to the wedding palace with the prince of the neighboring country. An arrow in the crowd was facing the princess. He rushed over. This arrow shot through his heart, and he fell. There was an illusion in front of his eyes, imagining the princess standing in front of him in a wedding dress with a smile.
There was a smile on his face. “Is this a dream? A dream is enough…”
Such a touching story was performed vividly in Xiao Bing’s piano music. A faint sadness seemed to touch the soul of Liu Kexin. Like the protagonist in the story, once he played to the end, Liu Kexin shed drops of happy tears.
Xiao Bing took a deep breath. The sound of a real pianist could not only directly hit the listener’s heart but also infect the soul of the one playing.
At this time, there was warm applause at the door. Xiao Bing opened his eyes. While Liu Kexin stood up, she wiped her tears and looked at the door. Outside the door, a woman and man came in from outside.
Liu Kexin was still immersed in the sentimental sounds of Xiao Bing and had no reaction for a while. Xiao Bing walked over.
The man was about 40 years old. There was a beard on his chin, which was very artistic. The woman was about 30 years old and still looked attractive.
These two people were full of wonder as they looked at Xiao Bing. The man said, “I didn’t expect that I could hear such a perfect sound. Are you Mr. Xiao?”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “You must be Mr. Li Cuipeng and Ms. Gu Xinxin.”
Liu Kexin finally emerged from the wonderful piano sound. She looked at Xiao Bing with amazement and then she looked at the other two. When she heard those two names, she couldn’t help feeling shocked. She looked stunned again.
Those two names were really very well-known. Although Liu Kexin did not pay much attention to this field, she also had learned dance for two years. She had heard from her dance teacher that these two people were some of the most famous dance teachers in China and even in the whole of Asia. It was said that many stars were their students, and the choreography before the concert was their work.
Liu Kexin’s heart was pounding. “Oh my god, Brother Xiao really brings me so many surprises. How can he play the piano so well? Isn’t he a veteran? How can he know such masters of the dance industry?”
Liu Kexin couldn’t believe it.
These two people had been reluctant to come. They came here because of Bi Tingting. After all, Bi Tingting was now a superstar in the entertainment circle, so they had to come. But after arriving, when they just walked to the door of Heavenly Palace, they heard the sound of the piano and were intoxicated by the sound. They didn’t even dare to come in and disturb him and just stayed hiding outside to listen. Once the music was over, they walked in.
Although they were dancers, they were also very knowledgeable about music. After all, those two things are similar. So at this moment, they were glad that they had come and could get to know such a rare musical genius. They showed their respect to Xiao Bing now.
The two people reached out their hands separately and said, “Yes, I am Gu Xinxin.”
“I am Li Cuipeng.”
Xiao Bing shook hands with them and said with a smile, “You are famous masters in the dance industry. It is a great honor to be able to invite you here at this time.”
“You’re welcome. Now we’re expecting to interact with you. Is this the young lady who wants to choreograph?”
The two of them looked at Liu Kexin. On one hand, Liu Kexin looked delightful. On the other hand, they loved Xiao Bing, so they were very kind to Liu Kexin. Even in the presence of many big stars, they looked very prideful. But in front of Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin, they did not put on airs. People who engage in art are very prideful, only truly talented people could get their respect, and Xiao Bing got it.
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Yeah, this is my friend Liu Kexin. Kexin, hurry up and get acquainted with the two teachers.”
“Ah…” Liu Kexin was a little excited. “Nice to meet you.”
“Good, such a lovely girl. Let’s talk about it first.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Okay, let’s talk a little. We only have a total of two days, so we have to hurry up and work. I will prepare a feast to entertain you tonight!”
