At the same time, Qin Feng, who was sitting in front of the piano with his fingers flying, had an ethereal expression on his face.
He suddenly remembered a blurry memory of his youth.
A bright September sun, by a lotus pond lake.
At that time, Qin Feng was only 13 years old, but he was already the number one pick-up boy in middle school.
On his way home from school, he heard a beautiful song as he passed by a lotus pond lake. More importantly, the girl who sang was very beautiful.
She wore a long dress, had black hair, big eyes, and small dimples. She was as beautiful as a princess.
As Qin Feng, who was constantly exploring and tempering the path of picking up girls and striving to reach the realm of picking up girls, how could he let go of such a cute and charming little princess? He immediately ran up and praised her.
"Little beauty, your voice is very beautiful. You're just as beautiful as you are."
… …
After Qin Feng praised her, he saw that the little beauty's eyes were filled with emotion. He knew the time was ripe, so he immediately hugged the little beauty.
The little beauty was fragrant, and her body was soft and exquisite. Qin Feng immediately took out a bank card and handed it to the little beauty. He thought that this would be her upkeep fee.
However, when he handed the bank card to the little beauty, she ran away crying. In the end, she got into a black car. It turned out that her family was waiting nearby to pick her up.
… …
Qin Feng closed his eyes, and the instant he opened them, he had gone back eight years. He was once again back in the Qin Manor's lobby.
Qin Feng's expression was full of mixed feelings. Every time he thought about this, a deep sense of defeat emerged in his heart. This was the most embarrassing failure he had ever had in picking up girls.
He gave her the money, but he only hugged her once. From then on, he never saw that little beauty again. As a result, that little beauty's appearance was already a blur in Qin Feng's memory …
Ding ding!
The last two keys of the piano fell. Qin Feng stopped, Rao Shi Man stopped, and Xu Ruo Rou, who was recording the whole thing with her phone, also stopped.
The three of them had different expressions. They all looked as if their souls had been sucked out and stood there stupidly.
Because this song brought back memories of their youth for Qin Feng and Rao Shi Man, and it brought a great shock to Xu Ruo Rou. The three of them needed some time to digest these turbulent feelings.
Clap clap!
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Ruo Rou was the first to return to her senses. She couldn't help but clap her hands.
As Rao Shi Man's biggest fan, she had listened to this famous song countless times. Xu Ruo Rou had even downloaded every single version of this song from the internet. However, up until now, the live collaboration between Qin Feng and Rao Shi Man was the most touching and soul-stirring performance she had ever heard.
Xu Ruo Rou had goosebumps all over her body.
"Little Sister Shi Man, your singing is so beautiful that I almost cried." Xu Ruo Rou excitedly pounced on Rao Shi Man and hugged her.
"And Qin Feng … You really know how to play the piano, and you play it so well. Your piano piece elevated the performance just now to a whole new level." After hugging Rao Shi Man, Xu Ruo Rou rushed up and hugged Qin Feng.
Qin Feng held Xu Ruo Rou tightly in his arms and purposely pressed his chest against hers.
"You're so annoying. Let go of me!" Xu Ruo Rou quickly noticed Qin Feng's action. She shyly pushed him away and ran back to Rao Shi Man's side.
Rao Shi Man finally returned to her senses. A few streaks of tears rolled down her charming and youthful cheeks. Every time she sang the song "Because of You," she would recall memories of her youth.
She recalled September of that year, when the sun was high up in the sky and they were by the Lotus Pond Lake …
Every time she sang this song, Rao Shi Man would quietly shed a few drops of tears.
Because this song was composed by herself, she wrote both the lyrics and the music. This was a song that she specially gifted to the sunny boy from eight years ago. Without that boy, Rao Shi Man wouldn't have reached this stage.
She might have cried her heart out by the Lotus Pond Lake that time and completely abandoned her music dream when she returned. Rao Shi Man was a grateful person. She knew that the reason she could become a superstar and obtain the love and adoration of millions of fans was all because of the words of the sunny boy by the Lotus Pond Lake that year.
"It doesn't matter if other people like your songs or not. I'll always be your number one fan."
It was such a simple confession. In fact, it was said to pick up girls, but Rao Shi Man engraved it deeply in her heart. Along the way, whenever she wanted to give up or encountered a setback, she would remember these words and grit her teeth and persevere …
"Qin Feng … Thank you. Your piano performance was very outstanding. It was the most satisfying performance I've ever had. I'm even more satisfied than my professional orchestra!"
Even after calming down for so long, Rao Shi Man's emotions were still rippling. She looked at Qin Feng tenderly and suddenly felt like she was in a trance. Qin Feng's figure and appearance slowly overlapped with the blurry, sunny boy from eight years ago.
"Haha! I just played for fun. Actually, I don't really know how to play the piano. "Qin Feng looked at Rao Shi Man with a smile.
He could see some changes in Rao Shi Man's eyes. Previously, Rao Shi Man looked at him with a lukewarm expression, but now, she revealed a hint of tenderness and excitement. Qin Feng felt that the time was ripe. With just a piano piece, he was about to win the heart of the hottest superstar in the entertainment circle.
"Shi Man, actually, I think the song you sang just now could be slightly changed. I also have some opinions on the melody and lyrics … Why don't we go to my room now, take off our shoes, get on the bed, sit cross-legged, and chat all night? What do you think?"
Qin Feng looked at Rao Shi Man with a smile. The tenderness and charm in Rao Shi Man's eyes gradually disappeared, and she quickly returned to her lukewarm attitude.
"Mr. Qin, it's getting late. I'll go back to my villa to rest. I'll have to trouble Mr. Qin to arrange the meeting between me and Young Master Qin. Please help me settle it as soon as possible!"
Rao Shi Man faintly rolled her eyes at Qin Feng and put on a cordial smile. She grabbed Xu Ruo Rou's arm and said, "Big Sister Ruo Rou, I just flew here from the capital today, so I'm a bit tired. When I have time next time, I'll sing a few more songs for you."
"Little Sister Shi Man, then hurry and go rest. If you have any inconveniences in the Qin Manor, feel free to come find me." Xu Ruo Rou smiled sweetly at Rao Shi Man.
After the two women greeted each other, Rao Shi Man went to her villa. Qin Feng looked at her graceful figure disappearing into the night and sighed inwardly. The duck that was clearly in his mouth, why did it fly away again?
"Ruo Rou, didn't you like the song just now? Why don't you go to my room, sit cross-legged, look at each other, and then …" Rao Shi Man left, and Qin Feng instantly changed his target.
"I-I'm going upstairs to sleep. Good night!" Xu Ruo Rou ran faster than a rabbit. In the blink of an eye, she was already upstairs.
Not long after she went upstairs, Qin Huang came downstairs. Qin Huang was a bit puzzled when he saw only Qin Feng standing dumbly in the large living room.
"Feng'er, I was reading in the study just now and heard someone singing downstairs. There was also someone playing the piano. The voice and the piano music were both very nice. Was it Rao Shi Man's song?"
"Yeah, I played the piano," Qin Feng said proudly.
"You brat, you can play the piano? How come your old man didn't know?" Now that there was no one else, Qin Huang could finally recognize him as his son. In order to cooperate with Qin Feng in picking up girls, Qin Huang's act was quite tiring.
"Feng'er, I have my own opinion on the song just now, especially the piano music you played. I think there are some parts that can be changed. Come to my old man's room now, we'll sit cross-legged and chat for the whole night … It's been a long time since I've heard such a touching and reminiscing song."
Qin Huang looked like he was reminiscing. He really liked the song just now. However, when he heard his old man's words, Qin Feng felt a chill in his heart. In the blink of an eye, he ran back to his room.
"This little brat, I knew that the piano piece wasn't played by you. You little brat, aside from flirting with girls, you don't do anything else. Now that I've seen through you with a single sentence, you run away faster than a rabbit!" Qin Huang stood alone in the large living room, muttering to himself.
… …
Royal Group, Li Yu Chen's office.
Li Yu Chen sat on an office chair. Opposite her stood a tall and handsome man. It was the gold medal analyst of the Investment and Finance Department, Lin Shuai.
As a returnee who studied abroad, Lin Shuai had a halo above his head. Plus, he was handsome, humorous, young, and promising. He had only been at Royal Group for three months, and he had climbed to the position of gold medal analyst. He was quite popular in the company.
Especially the young beauties who had just joined the company, they all had designs on Lin Shuai.
However, Lin Shuai's standards were quite high. In the entire Royal Group, he only had eyes for three people.
Xu Ruo Rou, Li Yu Chen, and Han Ying Ying.
In the end, these three people were quite close to Qin Feng and treated him coldly.
"General Manager Li, why did you suddenly call me here?" Lin Shuai wore a handsome and sunny smile and looked at Li Yu Chen with a gentle gaze.
He had just arrived at the company early in the morning and was called over by Li Yu Chen. At this moment, he was fantasizing that Li Yu Chen wanted to invite him to a movie and a meal after work.
"Manager Lin, you should know that the superstar Rao Shi Man has come to the company. However, Royal Group's Cloud City Hua Manor Phase Two property will open the day after tomorrow. Since Miss Rao Shi Man has nothing to do, the company's higher-ups have decided to find someone to take her out for a walk … This time, Qin Feng is one of the candidates. However, considering that we're taking Miss Rao Shi Man to a high-class Western restaurant at noon, it's best to find someone proficient in French. You're a top student who studied abroad in France. Would you be willing to accompany Qin Feng and receive Miss Rao Shi Man?"
When Lin Shuai saw that Li Yu Chen didn't want to ask him for a date, he wasn't disappointed at all. When he found out that Li Yu Chen wanted him to take Rao Shi Man to a Western restaurant, he was indescribably pleased.
Especially this time, Qin Feng was with him. He already planned to ruthlessly humiliate Qin Feng in front of Rao Shi Man during lunch. Let's see if this brat still dared to be arrogant in front of him!
"General Manager Li, I'm very willing to serve the company and the superstar Rao Shi Man." The corner of Lin Shuai's mouth curved into a faint smile.
