35: Chapter 035: Miss, are you in a hurry?
The applause lingered on…
Ning Fan walked back to his seat, smiling as he watched over everyone, including Xu Xiaoqing and their group.
“Yo, why are you all crying?”
Xu Xiaoqing was muttering when she suddenly heard Ning Fan’s remark and immediately began to curse.
“Ning Fan, you bastard, you actually made me cry, you owe me, you owe me!”
Ning Fan shamelessly joked, “I can compensate you, how about I pay you back with a few billion when we get home, what do you think?”
Xu Xiaoqing’s face turned red, her adoration and infatuation dissipating into the air.
No matter how good his piano playing was, he was still the same shameless rogue!
Xu Xiaoqing sat back in her seat with a cold huff, “Get lost…
You’re not being serious at all!”
Ning Fan chuckled and then gave Zhou Jiangming and Wang Xiaodie an indifferent glance.
Zhou Jiangming’s face lost all color, he aged several years in an instant, unable to comprehend how the Ning Fan before him could produce such heavenly sound.
This performance was even more delightful than that of the Piano Queen.
He shakily pulled out a chair for Ning Fan and then furiously polished it with his sleeve until it shone like new.
Only then did he rest, turning to Ning Fan with a sycophantic look, “Master Ning Fan, please, have a seat!”
“I thought I had no taste, huh?
For someone as refined as you, this doesn’t seem quite right, does it?” Ning Fan said with a hint of a smile.
Zhou Jiangming almost knelt down to Ning Fan, frozen in place, unable to move.
The people behind also had unpleasant expressions, each regretting their earlier disrespect.
Ning Fan waved his hand, wanting to continue enjoying the moment, but embarrassingly, he needed to go to the restroom.
He smiled and said, “I’m off to the bathroom.”
Zhou Jiangming was left standing there with both cheeks burning red, as red as a rotten persimmon!
Everyone stood up and clapped, seeing Ning Fan out of the concert hall in quite a spectacular scene.
Afterward, they didn’t forget to mock Zhou Jiangming: “Zhou Jiangming is truly shameless, just earlier he was so full of himself, and now, hehe…”
Zhou Jiangming could only offer a bitter smile, who knew that Ning Fan was not the kind of person to mess with—if he had known Ning Fan’s capabilities, he would have rushed to serve him tea and tie his shoelaces!
he slapped his own face, a rhythmic slapping sound resonating in the hall.
The accompaniment followed suit.
Wang Xiaodie was also smacking her own mouth, regretting her talkativeness, wishing she could take back her words and remake her mouth in her mother’s womb!
Xu Xiaoqing found it amusing, quietly sitting there enjoying the distinct melody.
She snickered to herself, “So this is the ‘bit of charm’ Ning Fan mentioned.”
Outside the restroom…
Ning Fan walked out of the concert hall.
Just as he was about to enter the restroom, a gorgeous woman in dazzling attire suddenly rushed out from the side and threw herself at him without hesitation.
Ning Fan looked bewildered as the woman had already plunged into his arms.
He stood there stunned for a long time before he realized that the person frantically kissing him was none other than Huo Qiuran, the graceful Piano Queen.
“Damn, girl, who are you, so thirsty, huh?”
Huo Qiuran’s eyes were misty as she tearfully said, “Ning Fan, it’s me, it’s me, Qiuran!
Don’t you remember me?”
Ning Fan shook his head.
Such a beautiful woman like you, how could I possibly forget?
Miss, you must have the wrong person!”
Huo Qiuran’s heart ached, knowing she couldn’t possibly have mistaken the person—even if people change, the sound of the piano wouldn’t.
“There’s no mistake, you are Ning Fan, Ning Fan why are you pretending not to know me?”
“I’m not pretending, Miss, I really need to use the bathroom urgently.”
Ning Fan thought of escaping but Huo Qiuran clung to him tightly, leaving him no chance to leave…
“It’s impossible, do you still remember the piano score?
The one you wrote for me?”
Huo Qiuran spoke, crying even more pitifully.
She came here to perform piano concerts every month all because of Ning Fan!
In the past, Ning Fan had written half of a piano score for her, but never completed the second part.
She performed these concerts here in the hope that one day Ning Fan would appear to hear it.
Now Ning Fan was here, right in front of her!
“You just performed that score, who else but you could have played it?
Ning Fan, why won’t you recognize me?”
The piece that Ning Fan had just played in the concert hall was exactly what he had written for her back when they were together!
I just played it randomly, what score are you talking about?”
Ning Fan looked at Huo Qiuran with a blank face.
Huo Qiuran was certain the man in front of her was Ning Fan, but he kept pretending not to acknowledge her, which made her feel all the more melancholic.
Back then, she had to leave him because of her family’s situation.
Ning Fan’s current indifference must be related to what happened in the past.
Huo Qiuran’s demeanor shifted from excited to somber, murmuring, “You must still be angry, it truly was my fault back then…”
“Miss, you’re also wrong now, I’m really in a hurry to go pee.”
Ning Fan said hurriedly, if this continued, he would burst!
Still pretending not to know her, she felt as though the Piano Queen was being stabbed in the heart.
