In a duel at the piano, it was difficult to determine the victor, not to mention that other than Zhou Heng and Ye Yan, there were only Miss Tong and the other two in the audience.
But at the very least, Ye Yan knew what the final outcome would be. Although he didn't want to lose face in front of Miss Tong, he wasn't a person who couldn't afford to lose.
After Zhou Heng's performance, he sneaked a glance at the Miss Tong. Other than that one time when he was young, today was the first time Ye Yan had officially met the Miss Tong. His hospitality towards the Miss Tong originally came from the clan's request.
However, Ye Yan seemed to be too engrossed. As a star, he could take out another face to deal with the cunning reporters and the all-pervasive paparazzi, but this time, he seemed to have already put himself in the role. Ye Yan peeked at Miss Tong's expression. He cared a lot about Miss Tong's opinion on this competition, and that kind of care already exceeded the joy of victory or the disappointment of failure.
Miss Tong simply did not notice the change in Ye Yan's expression. After she finished listening to Zhou Heng's performance, she applauded Zhou Heng from the bottom of her heart. Ye Yan had seen the look in her eyes many times, but those were all contained within the eyes of the other girls when they looked at him.
He lost. Ye Yan had to admit that he had lost no matter what. Although they had better resources and a better foundation, losing was still a loss. Any rebuttal would appear pale and powerless.
But after the applause died down, the music room quieted down. Zhou Heng did not leave his position.
Was there anything else he wanted to do? Ye Yan and the rest could not help but guess.
Zhou Heng didn't want to do anything, he was only trembling inside. In the process of playing the song, he had entered a state of complete immersion. The movements of his fingers, arms, and wrists were no longer under his command. It was as if an invisible ghost was helping him control this body. However, Zhou Heng knew that there were no ghosts in his body. Other than his soul, there was only the Heavenly Master System in his body.
Three years ago, what was the "Heavenly Master System" that had appeared in his body for no reason? Zhou Heng had avoided the question for a long time, but at last, it surfaced in his heart once again.
After a long while, Zhou Heng finally stood up from his seat.
Without waiting for Zhou Heng to speak, Ye Yan opened his mouth first.
"Feel free to ask any questions." Ye Yan said. He believed that people who could play this kind of music wouldn't deliberately use weird questions to make things difficult for themselves.
However, he never expected that Zhou Heng would ask such a simple question.
"Where did you buy your bracelet?" Zhou Heng asked Ye Yan.
Ye Yan was stunned. If I said it was bought online, would you send me the address and the name of the store? Is that what you want to ask?
"This is a souvenir from my teacher." Ye Yan answered honestly. Of course, the answer to his question would be found online, and as a celebrity, the trinkets he wore would naturally be dug out by his paparazzi.
"Who's the teacher who gave you the bracelet?" Zhou Heng's second question was similarly simple to the point that it was somewhat stupid.
"It's the pianist Master He Lang." Ye Yan replied with a smile. On the contrary, Ye Yan was very proud that he had studied under Master He Lang for two years. This was also something that he could be proud of in the pop music industry. However, as the disciple of Master He Lang, Duo Qin lost to a college student. This student's knowledge was not even related to music, it was a little awkward.
Ye Yan could only hope that Zhou Heng would not expose this matter.
Zhou Heng was silent. He did not understand He Lang at all, so even if he knew that He Lang was related to the Black Tower, he would not be able to obtain any more information from it.
With no other choice, Zhou Heng asked his last question, "Can you lend the bracelet to me to have a look?"
"No problem." Ye Yan generously removed his bracelet. He felt that Zhou Heng had really taken a fancy to this bracelet. But this was a memento left to him by Master He Lang, it was fine to let him take a look, but if he had any other intentions, then he might not be able to agree.
Zhou Heng took the bracelet and held it in his hand. The Heavenly Master System did not notify him to come in contact with the new magic item, so it was just an ordinary bracelet.
If that Master He Lang was a member of the black tower, then why did he gift the black tower logo on the bracelet to his mortal students? Carrying doubts that he couldn't resolve at the moment, Zhou Heng returned the bracelet to Ye Yan. It was just a normal bracelet with a black tower logo on it, nothing special about it.
"Any other questions?" Ye Yan asked. He had already answered three questions, back and forth.
Zhou Heng shook his head, then smiled and said: "No, thank you." Apart from one more mystery, he had gained nothing else today.
But for others it was different. Although Qin Fen didn't understand why she suddenly admitted defeat, she was already very satisfied to be able to meet Ye Yan as a little girl, let alone being able to talk with her and have lunch together. Then, she heard Ye Yan's performance. To a fan, Qin Fen was extremely lucky today.
But for Ye Yan, today was an extremely long day. Under the pressure of the family, he had no choice but to chase after a girl he had only met once when he was young. Furthermore, he had never met a guy who fought on the Dou Zither, but even more pitiful was that he actually lost, and lost without a doubt in front of the Miss Tong.
As for Bai Lu, her opinion of Zhou Heng had changed a little. To be able to play such a music, perhaps Zhou Heng had a past that ordinary people could not imagine. Maybe Zhou Heng was the same as her when she was young, being forced to learn how to play the piano while gradually finding some fun with the black and white keys on the piano. However, all of these were just her guesses towards Zhou Heng from the sound of the zither, because she did not know that there was such an inconceivable thing like the Heavenly Master System in Zhou Heng's body.
One was a Heavenly Master, one was a celebrity, one was the owner of the Feng Shui Family, and two were female students. At the same time as they experienced the peaceful life on campus in Coastal University, smoke had already begun rising from another place near the sea.
