The pieces performed by the first few contestants were all standard and unremarkable.

The scores given by the judges were also reasonable.

Currently, the highest score was from the fourth contestant, a girl, with an average of ninety-four points.

Compared to past competitions, this couldn’t be considered a very high score.

It was clear that the real masters had yet to perform.

The scoring ended.

The host went on stage to announce the next contestant, “Next up is Mei Shu, a student from Class 6 of Grade 3 at No. 1 High School of Lin City. She is a new face in piano competitions. Let’s welcome her with applause.”

As the host’s voice fell, thunderous applause erupted, and some students even excitedly stood up and waved towards the stage.

Mei Shu walked to the stage, her gaze naturally falling on the noisiest area of the audience, where she saw a few faces that seemed familiar. She smiled gently in their direction.

Seeing her looking over, those people became even more excited, and someone couldn’t control themselves and let out a scream.

This action instantly caused the surrounding audience to be annoyed.

A piano competition was not a usual performance, and there was no need for such enthusiastic cheering.

Instead of showing their enthusiasm, it made them seem rude, and as a result, their fondness for Mei Shu diminished.

Initially, they had high hopes for Mei Shu as a new contestant, but they didn’t expect her to be someone who sought popularity by indulging her fans.

In a piano competition, the score wasn’t determined by popularity. The most crucial factor was the contestant’s skill.

People like Mei Shu were often nothing more than empty vessels, only looking attractive on the surface, and their piano skills might not be as deep as they appeared.

Gradually, whispers started spreading throughout the audience, as they pointed and commented on Mei Shu who hadn’t started playing yet.

“They have no manners. Do they think this is their school’s art show?”

“All, I can’t believe that Lin City No. 1 High School allowed such a student to represent them in the competition. I’m so disappointed. I thought I’d get to hear Mei Mu’s performance today!”

“Huh? Don’t you think her name sounds similar to Mei Mu’s? Are they related?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know her. 1 only know that Mei Mu is quite talented. It’s a shame she didn’t participate in the competition before graduation. Winning this would have been a big prize for the student!”

“I heard that Mei Shu is Mei Mu’s half-sister from the same father but a different mother. She just returned to Lin City recently, and I also heard that Mei Mu couldn’t participate in the competition because of Mei Shu. I have an aunt who works at the hospital, and she said Mei Mu is still hospitalized!”

“What? Is this Mei Shu so ruthless that she even harms her own sister?”

For a moment, many people who knew about this incident felt deep disgust towards Mei Shu.

The piano was a very elegant art form, but with someone like Mei Shu performing, it seemed to desecrate this sacred realm of art.

Some even covered their ears in rejection. “I don’t want to listen. She must play terribly! Let the judges give her negative points!”

However, even though some of the audience didn’t want to listen to Mei Shu’s performance, since she was already on stage, she would inevitably sit at the piano and perform the piece that had been imbued with all her emotions.

As soon as she started, the derisive and disgusted whispers echoed below.

Feng Wei crossed her arms, looking disdainfully at the seemingly pretentious Mei Shu on the stage, eagerly awaiting her embarrassing performance.

However, as the flawless melody poured forth from Mei Shu’s fingertips, the initial resistance and reluctance in the audience were inexplicably smoothed away.

Those who had looked down on Mei Shu were gradually attracted by the emotions conveyed in her piece. They forgot they were watching a piano competition that they didn’t have high expectations for, and instead, they felt like they were in an elegant hall of art.

At this moment, countless people’s deepest dreams were awakened by the music and surfaced before their eyes.

Chen Jian seemed to see Feng Wei, wearing a wedding dress and holding a bouquet of flowers, slowly walking towards him.

On the other hand, Feng Wei saw herself standing on the highest award podium, becoming a world-famous piano performer.

The grand and magnificent melody held a magical power that swept everyone away. Every stroke of the piano keys seemed to pluck the most fragile strings in people’s hearts, causing their emotions to rise and fall with the music. It felt like being on a fishing boat in the vast ocean, swaying with the waves. Despite the uneasy journey, the sailors on the boat, carrying their dreams, still enjoyed the turbulence at sea.

When the piece ended, the beautiful scene that had appeared before everyone’s eyes seemed to be shattered in an instant.

Deep regret appeared on everyone’s faces.

At that moment, they all wished that Mei Shu would continue playing without breaking the beautiful dreams woven by the melody.

However, Mei Shu, the indifferent dream weaver, wouldn’t show any mercy just because they felt regret.

She stood up silently and bowed politely to the audience.

The entire hall fell into silence for a full ten seconds before erupting into applause that echoed through the venue.

In this moment, those who had belittled Mei Shu finally understood the others’ fanatic infatuation with her..
