Chapter 55 Duet
After the news of Chen Wei joining the piano club spread, the reactions of the crowd were not much different from what he had expected.

Su Yumeng also leaned closer with a suspicious look, "Chen Wei, you must have been fooled. What piano club is there at our school? I've never heard of it."

"I've already submitted my application, and the teacher has approved it." Chen Wei didn't believe that Shen Xue would lie to him.

"You agreed?" Su Yumeng asked, puzzled. "Our school really has a piano club?"

"Yumeng, I checked the official website, and it really exists, but..." Liu Ying hesitated, looking puzzled.

"But what?" Su Yumeng pressed.

"There's only one person in the piano club now." Liu Ying refreshed the page again. "It seems the data has been synchronized. Including Chen Wei, the piano club has only two members in total."

"Two members? That's not even a proper interest club." Su Yumeng's questions grew even more. She couldn't understand, "Why did you leave behind big interest clubs like the singing club and go to join this small one?"

"Maybe it's because I like the piano?" Chen Wei replied.

Do you like the piano?

It doesn't sound like there's a problem.

Su Yumeng didn't ask any more questions.

Interest clubs are definitely based on interests. Chen Wei has already said that his interest is the piano, so what else is there for Su Yumeng to ask?

However, she felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Yumeng, I heard that the president of the piano club is having a performance today. Do you want to go and watch?"

"Go!" Su Yumeng agreed decisively to Liu Ying's words.

Chen Wei had the same idea. Putting aside the fact that he had taken the initiative to invite her, as a member of the club and her older brother, how could he not go and support Shen Xue?
Time flew by and it was already afternoon, fifteen minutes before sunset.

Backstage.

"Brother Xiaowei, I feel so nervous right now." Shen Xue clasped her hands together and paced back and forth in a small area.

"Didn't you always perform at banquets and similar events? Why are you nervous?" Chen Wei asked, puzzled.

“At that time I couldn’t see anything, I could only feel it. Suddenly I saw so many people in the audience, and my heart and fingers started to move out of control.”

Since many people had heard that Chen Wei had turned down invitations from nearly a hundred interest groups and resolutely chose to join the piano club, they were curious to see who this president of the piano club was.

Normally, they wouldn't be this enthusiastic about any piano performances.

After hearing Shen Xue's explanation, Chen Wei suggested, "How about a duet piano? I can assist you from the side."

"A two-person piano?" Judging from Shen Xue's expression, it seems that this concept does not exist in this world.

“Yes, it’s a two-person piano,” Chen Wei confirmed.

"Okay." Shen Xue nodded.

Given the current situation, Shen Xue couldn't think of any better solutions. Although it sounded rather unreliable, she still chose to trust Chen Wei.

This is the piano club's debut, and they absolutely cannot afford to mess it up.

"Why don't you come out?"

"Hurry up! The sun is about to set."

"Could it be that they're feeling guilty and have run away?"

Even through the curtain, you could hear the cheers and jeers from the audience.

"It's your turn, hurry up," the person in charge urged.

“No, it’s us,” Chen Wei said, extending his hand to correct him.

“Yes, it’s us.” Shen Xue placed her hand on Chen Wei’s hand.

Chen Wei is so famous now that the person in charge doesn't dare to say much.

"Come out! Come out!"

"Why is my idol here too?"

"They're members of the piano club, isn't it normal for them to be there?"

"Yu Meng, your boyfriend's hand is being held by another girl." Liu Ying looked at Su Yu Meng.

"It's just holding hands, what's the big deal? I'm not a child, why would I be jealous like that?"

Looking at the crushed canned beverage bottle in Su Yumeng's hand, Liu Ying was speechless. "Why are two people sitting at the piano? I remember the piano isn't played by one person."

"A two-person piano?"

"Is this the piano club or the joke club?"

……

Among them are those who deliberately cause trouble.

"Ignore them, just focus on yourself. The world is so big, there will always be some ill-mannered people," Chen Wei comforted him.

"Mmm." Shen Xue placed her hands on the piano keys, and Chen Wei followed suit.

The moment the piano music began, the audience fell silent.

The four hands that played the piano plucked not only the keys, but also the heartstrings of the audience.

They were all surprised that the instrument, originally played by one person, didn't sound messy at all when played by two.

The timing was perfect, with the afterglow of the setting sun as a backdrop, and a gentle breeze ruffling Shen Xue's dark hair. The scene was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Nanjing University has such a talented woman? How come I've never seen her before?"

"So beautiful, she's breathtakingly beautiful! I have to pursue her!"

"The male god who plays the piano is so gentlemanly and gentle."

……

The music stopped when the sun had completely disappeared below the horizon.

The applause from a few people immediately sparked thunderous applause from the entire audience.

Shen Xue clutched her chest, her cheeks flushed red. Chen Wei, sitting beside her, could clearly feel how rapid her breathing was.

Shen Xue never expected that the performance would go so smoothly, and that she would receive a lot of applause like she had never received before.

Every time Shen Xue made a mistake, Chen Wei's fingers would immediately step in, the transition perfectly timed, as if he could foresee it in advance.

Shen Xue knew that if it were someone else, the piano playing between the two would not have progressed so smoothly. It would have required a long period of adjustment and could not have been achieved overnight.

Sunset, and that girl—it's her!

Su Yumeng remembered that Shen Xue was the new younger sister that Chen Wei had posted photos of on his WeChat Moments.

This guy, all that talk about liking the piano, it's all a lie.

"Yumeng, why are you looking so gloomy? Doesn't it sound nice?" Liu Ying asked.

"Sounds good!"

Why get angry when it sounds good?
Liu Ying couldn't understand it, but she didn't ask any further questions.

Su Yumeng is no different from a powder keg right now, ready to explode at any moment. She's not stupid, so why would she do something so foolish as to self-destruct?

"Could I borrow your microphone?" Chen Wei asked the person in charge.

"Of course." The person in charge quickly handed over the microphone with both hands.

"As you can see, this is the strength of our piano club. If you are interested in the piano, you may consider joining us."

Shen Xue certainly couldn't say these words aloud, so naturally, the blame fell on Chen Wei.

This is a free publicity opportunity, so why not take it?

"Join! I'll join right now!"

"A single arrow pierces the clouds, and a thousand armies rush to meet you! Sisters, let's fill out the forms!"

"Wait, aren't you part of our singing club?"

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving the club. Don't ask why, I'm a woman who's devoted to one person."

……

Putting aside those bizarre comments, at least the response was positive.
