Because of this incident, the final result of the International Music Competition was delayed again and again. In the middle, the championship trophy was almost awarded to Xiang Chenjin, so in order to make up for the real champion Xiang Chenyu, the organizer requested Xiang Chenyu to play the piece he composed, “Dreaming of Paradise”, once again.
This time, all doubts were discarded, and the audience could finally enjoy this sad, warm, desperate, and healing violin piece wholeheartedly.
Now, Xiang Liyan has been sentenced for the crime of human trafficking, and Xiang Chenjin, as an accomplice, has been put in prison, though with a much lighter sentence than Xiang Liyan.
Watching the father who tried to sell his adopted son to a casino to pay off his debts being arrested and put in prison, the netizens who witnessed the complete process of this event felt a burst of relief.
Because of the horrific incident of Xiang Chenyu almost being sold to a casino and him being abused as a child until he lost the hearing in his left ear, everyone has been paying a lot of attention to the orphans abandoned by their parents in society.
Because even if they seem to be adopted by a very good family, it doesn’t guarantee their own rights, does it?
The audience is now looking at Xiang Chenyu on stage with sympathy. They originally thought that being adopted by the Xiang family, a musical family, was a great blessing for an orphan.
Now, it seems that this is the biggest misfortune for the teenager.
But even in the face of everyone’s sympathy, the teenager on stage neither used his tears to gain attention for himself nor did he rejoice because his abusive adoptive father was finally thrown into prison.
He always kept that quiet look, not saying a word on stage, just playing the music that heals the heart as his reward to all those who love him.
Such an attitude makes Xiang Chenyu’s fans even more heartbroken, because this teenager seems to have accepted all the misfortunes in life, and no pain can make him frown anymore.
And how does such strength come from the day-to-day suffering?
[I thought it was too exaggerated when someone said Little Feather was an angel, but now it seems that he is indeed an angel because no one else’s music can bring me such a sense of healing, as if my whole heart has been washed once again].
[It was his music that gave me hope in life. I couldn’t believe that such a perfect violin piece was played by a man who is deaf in his left ear!]
Yes, by now everyone already knew that the teenager, who stood on the stage won the International Music Competition and was praised by all the judges, had lost his hearing in his left ear.
This made it more like they were watching a miracle of life when they were enjoying the performance.
At the end of the song, all the contestants who participated in the International Music Competition, one after another, came on stage and gave a sincere hug to Xiang Chenyu on stage. They originally had misunderstandings about Xiang Chenyu for various reasons, but after witnessing all the hardships the young man endured, they could not help but feel a sincere respect for this strong opponent.
The few contestants who also came from the Capital Conservatory of Music with him but were hostile to Xiang Chenyu because of Xiang Chenjin’s instigations, all looked guilty at this time and gently apologized to the teenager’s ear. The girl who announced that Xiang Chenyu was going to play “Flowing Water” during the preliminary round was now completely touched by the young man who had endured all kinds of misfortunes in life but still persisted in his dream. When she apologized to the boy, she even got teary-eyed and almost cried because of the guilt in her heart.
When these contestants who came on stage on their own withdrew, the competition proceeded to award the trophy to the boy who had won.
The first judge to present the award to Qing Yun was Turris, who was Xiang Chenjin’s teacher and was extremely serious during the competition. In each of Qing Yun’s matches, Turris gave the lowest score.
And now, the judge known for eccentricity is surrounded by a kind of indescribable despondent atmosphere. He looked at the teenager standing on the stage, and his gaze was mixed with a strange light and had an indescribable appreciation.
Qing Yun watched Turris come on stage and subconsciously wanted to raise his eyebrows. He always felt that this judge was not very friendly to all the contestants and was even harsh enough to his own student, Xiang Chenjin.
Many people hold the same thought as Qing Yun. The contestants who just got off the stage even looked at him worriedly and whispered.
""
“Surprisingly, it’s Mr. Turris who is presenting the award. There won’t be any problem, right? He’s really tough!”
“Is it too harsh? He always gives a low grade, and before that, he even inexplicably picked on Little Feather.”
“It’s that mouth of his that can make people die of anger. God, I hope this award ceremony goes well. I don’t want anything unfortunate to happen to Little Feather.”
The audience offstage, as well as Xiang Chenyu’s fans, all raised their hearts.
Because in their opinion, this judge, who has always had a lot to say about Little Feather, is deliberately looking for a fight with their Little Feather!
Turris came on the stage under everyone’s attention. Instead of first handing the trophy in his hand to the teenager, he took the microphone handed to him by the host and said, “Before presenting the championship trophy, I want to say a few words.”
“Oh my God, I guessed it, as soon as Turris came out there must be something!”
Once they heard Turris’ words, many people covered their faces and sighed, afraid that he would attack Little Feather with his sharp mouth again.
Looking at the restlessness under the stage, Turris, who was always stern, made an unusual joke this time: “Don’t worry, I won’t attack your Little Feather with my words again.”
[F-ck! Then why don’t you just present the award? Look, my heart is racing!]
The netizens in front of computers, who were seriously waiting for the award, saw a line of pop-ups floating across the screen and felt that these words spoke to their hearts, so they nodded in approval after.
“I stand here, not to criticize any contestant, but to repent of the mistakes I have made.” Turris said calmly and seriously.
Such a voice immediately silenced the venue.
With a bitter smile, Turris continued, “During this period of time, I was in a very bad state personally, and I couldn’t treat the contestants with an objective attitude to judge their playing. Because two months ago, my hearing began to irreversibly weaken. As a musician, this is simply the most painful blow in the world. Of course, it was only my own perception, so I started to give up on myself, and I started to treat all talented young people with an attitude that included aggression.”
There was a slight commotion, and several of the judges on the panel looked at Turris with incredulous eyes. They all noticed that Turris’ temper had become odd recently, and at first, they were puzzled, but now that they knew the truth, they felt unspeakable sympathy for Turris.
For being a top musician who suffered such misfortune at the age of his greatest talent, everyone in the music world would empathize with his pain.
“But one person showed me that even in the face of life’s heaviest blows, he could respond with a beautiful heart. Although he is young, he woke me up with his philosophy of life. He taught me and raised my hopes for life, and even more so, for music. Therefore, I will not give up my music even if I face the threat of deafness. And to that young man, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude.” At this point, Turris turned his head to gaze at the slightly surprised young man beside him.
He turned around, handed the trophy to the stunned teenager, and went up to hug him: “Thank you. Know that your performance deserves a ten from all the judges in this world, and you are a well-deserved winner.”
The trophy was finally handed over to Xiang Chenyu, and one of the world’s top musicians praised the youth with his most humble attitude.
The scene instantly resounded with loud applause. Turris’s confession made them see even more the powerful and influential power of Xiang Chenyu. Such a moving and healing effect was able to spread to every corner of this world with this teenager’s music.
[Wuwuwu, it’s so touching. Good job, Little Feather! Please continue to do your best, too, Mr. Turris!]
[Surprisingly, even a big shark like Turris can be touched. Little Feather is really the sweetest and most healing little cutie in the world!]
The atmosphere at the scene finally reached a climax, and the pop-ups on the screen were one after another. And Rosef, who was sitting at the judges’ table, was applauding and sighing about his senior brother Turris’ experience when suddenly he caught a glimpse of a seat at the front of the VIP seats.
Seeing a man staring fiercely at the stage with a face as black as the bottom of a pot, Rosef turned his head to follow the man’s gaze and looked at Turris, who was embracing the teenager on the stage in an excited mood. Suddenly, the touching feeling in his heart was collected, and he shrugged his shoulders in gloating.
Well, his senior brother is probably going to be unlucky. Don’t you know that the man named Wei Changxiu has openly said that the Little Feather is his?
Wei Changxiu’s face is indeed not good. This is the moment his baby won the award, and he should be happy with him, but why did this group of messy people run up to the stage and hug his baby all over?
And that judge, you should get out of here, thank you!
Many years later, the Xiang family incident that was a big deal in the music world was no longer on anyone’s radar, and that poor little Xiang Chenyu had become one of the top violinists in the world.
His relationship with Wei Changxiu, the head of the Wei family, has long been announced, and the two have recently been rumored to have a wedding.
When the relationship between Wei Changxiu and Xiang Chenyu was first announced, even though people’s attention was drawn to the unthinkable actions of the Xiang family, they still expressed their surprise about it when they came back to their senses.
Many of Xiang Chenyu’s fans are even opposed to the romance between the two. This is not out of an exclusive mentality towards their idol, but they are worried that their Little Feather, who has suffered all kinds of hardships, will be hurt again because of their relationship.
The Wei family is one of the top wealthy families in the world. As the person in charge of the Wei family, Wei Changxiu is even more powerful. This kind of person, how can they feel comfortable to hand over Little Feather to him?
And will Wei Changxiu really treat Little Feather sincerely? A rich man can not be trusted. Look at the stars in the entertainment industry who are married to rich businessmen, which live happily?
Therefore, fans are unwilling to give their warm-hearted little cutie to this “untrustworthy” man, Wei Changxiu.
There are even conspiracy theories questioning whether Xiang Chenyu is truly with Wei Changxiu. For example, was there any pressure received or something like that.
In the face of many fans’ inquiries, Qing Yun only gave a simple response: In my heart, he is almost on par with a violin.
This response immediately calmed down the restless fans. Of course, Xiang Chenyu’s side was quiet, but Wei Changxiu’s received all kinds of threatening private messages during that time.
Some people even ran to Wei’s homepage to threaten, claiming that if Wei Changxiu made Little Feather sad, they would join forces to boycott Wei’s products.
Wei Changxiu did not put these remarks into his heart because there were more annoying things occupying his mind.
In his baby’s heart, he was not even better than the violin? How is this possible!
Today is a banquet held by the Wei’s, and Qing Yun will attend with Wei Changxiu and announce their wedding date along with it.
Now that his fans have witnessed Wei Changxiu’s obedience to him, as well as being used to eating the dog food of the two, they have accepted their romance well and even urged them to get married.
But remembering the way Wei Changxiu was jealous with his violin at first, Qing Yun still couldn’t help himself from laughing.
“Mr. Xiang, the boss is already waiting for you upstairs.” Wei Ming greeted him and opened the car door for Qing Yun.
“Mm, I’m going up.” Qing Yun entered and walked through the crowd of people at the door who had come to the party and headed upstairs. He smiled and greeted people he knew well, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a slightly cowering figure standing in the corner.
That was Xiang Chenjin, who had received a lighter sentence and had now been out of prison for some time.
After just a glance, Qing Yun didn’t pay too much attention. He and the protagonist of each world, to put it bluntly, are on opposite sides of the fence. If the protagonist is not incited by the Heavenly Dao and has not come to his affairs, Qing Yun does not have the heart to go against the protagonist at all.
Now that the world’s direction has been reversed, Xiang Chenjin was reformed after his release from prison and still has his own life. Qing Yun does not intend to go forward and provoke him aggressively.
Xiang Chenjin was not alone in the corner. There was a greasy man beside him, and this man was wearing designer brands all over his body, but even with a high-fashion suit, he couldn’t hide the exceptionally crude quality of his body.
The man was drinking and laughing with the people in front of him, showing a mouthful of smoky yellow teeth when he laughed.
The business partner standing in front of him was obviously a bit disgusted with his demeanor. Still, because of the wealth behind the man, he continued to maintain a decent smile.
The man reached out to wrap his arm around Chenjin’s waist and led him toward the center of the banquet while saying to Chenjin: “Look, you insisted on coming to this banquet, I brought you here, right? This is the most high-class banquet, and with your status, you can’t come even with all the effort, so you should know what you have to exchange for!”
Saying that, the man’s hand moved slowly along the waistline of Xiang Chenjin’s suit in the next second. A trace of humiliation mixed with disgust flashed in Xiang Chenjin’s eyes again, but his face could only reveal a good-natured and flattering smile.
After years in prison, almost all of Xiang Chenjin’s arrogance was worn away, but once he was released from prison, the first thought in his mind was to see how Xiang Chenyu was doing.
This idea was like some kind of obsession, deeply rooted in his mind by some force. So, he relied on his musical skills and sought out this rich and powerful man.
The man took a toothpick to pick his teeth, and at the same time said to Xiang Chenjin: “I remember you had some problem with that Xiang Chenyu before, right? You see, even your names are similar. But he is now different from you. His status is very high. But the rumors that he is going to marry Wei Changxiu, that is a complete joke!”
“You musicians, your thoughts are higher than the sky. As arrogant as Xiang Chenyu is, he’s just a thing under Wei Changxiu and usually used for fun. Marriage? Why marry a singing and dancing thing instead of a nice rich girl?”
The man sneered as he said this, obviously extremely disdainful of all these so-called artists. His talk has caused people around him to leave him silently, but this man is obviously extremely confident in his financial status and does not take this into account at all.
Xiang Chenjin listened to the man’s words and could only keep a smile on his face. He had heard people mention Xiang Chenyu over and over again and had no more thoughts in his mind.
At this time, the host of the party, Wei Changxiu, slowly walked down the stairs. The eyes of the fat-headed man beside Xiang Chenjin lit up, and he immediately walked up. He came here because he wanted to talk business with Wei Changxiu.
He said to Xiang Chenjin while walking: “I heard that Wei Changxiu had some problems before and seemed to be particularly bad-tempered. Don’t you see that he is now milder? Businessmen, it is always necessary to make money with peace. Even if the Wei family is so big, I do not believe that Wei Changxiu would dare to be angry at this party.”
