They don't actually think I like them, do they?

"Classical music?"

Su Ruxue stared blankly at Lin Han.

"Yes."

"I......"

Su Ruxue covered the notebook with her lap and bit her lip.

"I'm sorry, Professor Lin Han, I can't do that."

"Do you remember our contract? Whatever piece I write, you must play it, without any objections, understand?"

Lin Han didn't waste any words and directly presented the contract.　

"I know, but when it comes to classical music, I might have to disappoint you." For the first time, a look of dejection appeared on Su Ruxue's face.

Su Ruxue went to great lengths to get Ju Zi Jiang to write music for her, largely because she was deeply moved by Ju Zi Jiang's pop music style and believed that Ju Zi Jiang could bring about change for her. However, Ju Zi Jiang still wrote a classical piece of music.

Lin Han stroked his chin and thought for a while:

"Is it because of the Longqin Cup three years ago?"

Su Ruxue stared at the ceiling, her memories winding up like a clockwork.

“I grew up with my grandfather, who was a retired soldier. He was a very nostalgic person, and when I was little, he liked to play with some vintage trinkets with me. Influenced by him, I used to love classical music, I loved it so much. But all the elders and teachers around me told me that in this era, classical music can only be a hobby, it is not recognized by academies, and as a professional pianist, I shouldn't practice it. No one understood me, but my grandfather always supported me, and that was enough.”

"......"

"My grandfather's biggest wish was to see me win the Longqin Cup one day, so that more people could hear the classical music I love. But I disappointed him; I couldn't defeat my opponent. Until the day he closed his eyes, I hadn't accomplished anything. I hadn't accomplished anything..."

Just then, a hand grasped Su Ruxue's hand.

Su Ruxue's pupils suddenly widened, and the girl looked up to see Lin Han standing in front of her.

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

092. An extremely gentle performance

"You?" Su Ruxue stared blankly at Lin Han, murmuring.

"I will help you so that classical music can be heard by more people." Lin Han placed his hand on Su Ruxue's shoulder and looked at her firmly.

In a daze, Su Ruxue's mind was filled with that familiar figure, that talkative person who loved vintage trinkets and had once stood firmly behind her to support her, but who would never return.

"I...I can't do it." Su Ruxue turned her head away, her eyes still dull and lifeless.

"Actually, I didn't go for any further studies. Those are just people's guesses. After my grandfather passed away, I fled this place. I carried a cello and went to many countries. Wherever I went, I played. Maybe on the street, maybe in the park... I was just escaping. I spent three years emptying my mind and accepting everything. Now, I only have one goal, which is to win the Longqin Cup. It doesn't matter what piece I play, as long as I can win."

"Excuse my bluntness, but if your grandfather were to see you give up your passion, he probably wouldn't be happy even if he saw you win the championship."

Su Ruxue bit her lip.

How could she not understand something like this?

However, if she didn't do it this way, she simply couldn't find any reason to continue playing...

"Give it a try."

Lin Han picked up the notebook from Su Ruxue's lap again, turned to the page with the sheet music, and...　

"Time will prove that good music will naturally be remembered for generations. To hell with all that bullshit academic aesthetics," Lin Han said.

Su Ruxue took the notebook and took a deep breath.

She turned around, opened her bag, took out her cello, placed it between her legs, and picked up the bow with one hand. Then she placed the notebook on the table.

For cellists of Su Ruxue's caliber, her skill level can no longer be defined by any number of grades.

No matter how difficult the score, Su Ruxue can sight-read it—that is, she can play it directly by looking at the score without practicing.

Lin Han stood opposite Su Ruxue; he would be the sole audience member for this performance.

Su Ruxue picked up the bow, and as the bow struck the strings and produced the first note, the girl's eyes changed instantly, and confidence and elegance returned to her.

The melodious music flowed smoothly, and a slow, understated, deep emotion began to resonate in the room.

Su Ruxue tilted her head, leaning against the cello neck, her long white hair cascading over the instrument. She closed her eyes, her expression lost in thought, as if she had entered her own world.

What exquisitely gentle piano music this is?

Its style is simple and unadorned, giving people a feeling of tenderness and beauty that moves one deeply. The melody, filled with deep affection, is smooth and silky, gentle and touching, like the sweet whispers of a lover. Within the gentle tune, there is a touch of melancholy, as well as a warm, sweet, and happy flavor.

　The night was thick with affection, and the spring rain pattered softly, seemingly slowing down the rhythm of the melody. Under the oil-paper umbrella came the sweet, playful laughter of a young couple. Petals and leaves, scattered by the drizzle and gentle breeze, mingled with the hazy starlight, casting soft notes that echoed in the tender gaze of the night. Letting the muddy water soak their feet, they sang and danced in the rain-soaked street, as if the world had shrunk to just them. A sweet atmosphere permeated the air, and the notes, carried by the spring rain, kissed the falling petals. In their sweet walk side by side, a poetic tribute was left, in the tender melody, in the gentle spring rain…

Under Su Ruxue's superb performance, every note was full of emotion and dynamism, vividly depicting the charming and sweet mood of love, making people sigh that love is both great and sacred as well as wonderful and magical.

Even someone as hardened as Lin Han was moved by the music and immersed in this beautiful scene.

This is "Ode to Love," which is not only a piece of music but also more like a poem.

After the performance, Su Ruxue put down her bow. As the performer, she was extremely surprised, and her eyes were full of excitement.

"What a beautiful melody..."

Su Ruxue murmured, staring intently at the sheet music, lost in thought without realizing it.

For three years, she had not touched classical music, but this piece, "Ode to Love," rekindled her love for classical music.

The exquisitely gentle melody still lingered in her mind, so beautiful that it stirred Su Ruxue's heart and made her heart flutter.

Yes, this is the music she should be playing, this is the music she loves. What's wrong with pursuing your dreams? If you give up your dreams to win, what's the point of winning?

"Teacher Lin Han."

Su Ruxue stood up from her seat and slowly walked towards him.

Then, Su Ruxue suddenly reached out and hugged Lin Han.

Lin Han was so frightened that he jerked his head up.

"Thank you..." Su Ruxue's voice was slightly choked as she hugged Lin Han tightly, refusing to let go.

Lin Han was at a loss at first, but then smiled with relief.

The sense of disharmony he had seen in Su Ruxue at the previous concert completely disappeared during her performance of this piece.

Su Ruxue seemed to be born for classical music, and her highly infectious performance brought "Ode to Love" to its fullest potential.

She will be a sharp sword for Lin Han in his conquest of the music industry.

"I will take you to the World Championship," Lin Han promised.

"Mmm." Su Ruxue let go of her hand, her face slightly flushed.

"By the way, could you record a clip for me and upload it to Bilibili?" Lin Han asked again.

Su Ruxue immediately looked troubled: "I have to report to the company before I participate in self-media filming."

"It's nothing," Lin Han said. "When have you ever seen me appear in a video?"

.......

Lin Han quickly set up all the filming equipment.

The camera focused on Su Ruxue's body below the neck.

Lin Han peeked out and took one look at Su Ruxue's white cheongsam and her stunningly beautiful figure.

Hmm, something feels off!

It shouldn't be a big problem. I'm sure most people watch these kinds of videos to listen to the music!

Su Ruxue played "Ode to Love" again.

This time, Su Ruxue had completely mastered the piece, with virtually no stutters or wrong notes, and recorded the video in its entirety.

"After I get back, I will practice even harder so that my piano skills can match Teacher Lin Han's music."

As she was leaving, Su Ruxue stood at the door and said this.

"Ok."

Lin Han was a little unaccustomed to the sudden change in attitude.

After Su Ruxue turned and left, almost instinctively, Lin Han raised his hand and said, "Goodnight."

Su Ruxue turned her head, her face blushing.

"Good night."

The first thing Lin Han did upon returning to his room was to submit a new video!

093. Women's Clothing Orange Jam

Although Lin Han is now a formally signed artist with Pop Media, he still has the right to publish his new works on Bilibili.

On the one hand, Bilibili is the parent company of Pop Media. Lin Han can generate commercial value by creating popularity on his own company's website. Moreover, there are people above him supervising him, so naturally there is no problem.

On the other hand, Lin Han's released works are mostly in the form of videos, and only with a single accompaniment, which is equivalent to a semi-finished product.

Some people watched the unfinished performance on Bilibili and naturally wanted to buy the finished album, so the company allowed it. However, he can no longer directly post the link to the complete recording in the comments section like before.

This time, Lin Han titled it "Ode to Love - Cello Performance".

The video was approved at around 1 a.m.

Netizens who were practicing swordplay late at night were jolted awake the moment they saw the little red dot appear on Orange Sauce's post!

Holy crap, it's updated!

The people who had originally planned to enjoy a "nocturne" tonight all let go of Niu Niu's hand, turned off the inappropriate movie, and made the little brother humbly lower his head.

Lin Han's unintentional act saved hundreds of millions of lives!

Inside the dimly lit rented room.

Upon seeing his idol, Orange Jam's, update, Li Ziming immediately put down his gun with excitement.

Because that's the magic of Orange Jam's music! It makes him stop everything he's doing to watch it first!

Li Ziming opened the video with great interest, and the next second, the boy suddenly raised his head with great enthusiasm.

Damn it? !

In the video, a white-haired girl, whose body is only visible from the neck down, is wearing a sexy white cheongsam that reveals her fair skin and excellent body curves, while holding a cello.

Especially her ample hips and long legs, which are truly captivating.

Li Ziming couldn't help but shout: "I'm burning to death!!"

Who is this person?

Could it be marmalade?!

Isn't Marmalade's mother a man?!

Li Ziming felt that his worldview had been shaken!

Previously, in Orange Jam's videos, only her hands and the piano were shown, and occasionally her chin and neck would be slightly revealed when recording songs.

In the only bar video, Orange Jam showed a small portion of her upper body, but not her face, and her lower body was obscured by the DJ booth. Therefore, Orange Jam's image has always been very, very mysterious.

This is the first time that Orange Jam has completely exposed all parts of her body except for her head in a video.

No way, I never knew you were this flirtatious, bro!

A bold idea popped into Li Ziming's mind.

The music is very elegant instrumental. Could it be that Orange Sauce deliberately wore a wig, fake breasts, and a cheongsam to create the right atmosphere and give everyone the best viewing experience?!

Or perhaps it's simply a way to give everyone a treat by dressing up in women's clothing. After all, this is a long-standing tradition among Bilibili up-masters, so it's not surprising!

He really... I'm so upset!

Not only is his music amazing, but he also looks so good in women's clothing!

What is this? This is a true artist!!

but,

Li Ziming watched the video of Ju Zijiang in her cheongsam, her white skin faintly visible beneath the lace...

Niu Niu is about to explode!
