As it was too late, Murong Qiao didn’t delay much when she saw the chauffeur arrive. She hurriedly bade farewell to Jing Jianbai and turned to leave.
Jing Jianbai watched as the other party’s figure disappeared behind the door. Then, he raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch.
It was almost one o’clock.
Although the talent show didn’t specify a time, it wasn’t good to go back too late.
Jing Jianbai turned around and glanced at the piano, planning to sit back and practice one last time.
However, after he sat down, his fingertips had just rested on the black and white keys when he was stopped by the sound of footsteps.
I knew it was you who was still practicing here.” Someone walked in.
They were both boys, but his style was completely different from Jing Jianbai’s. The other party’s face was handsome and gentle, and the corners of his mouth were often curved slightly, as if he was smiling at all times. He gave off a gentle feeling.
The person who came was called Qiu Ze, and he was also one of the contestants for this variety show.
Qiu Ze smiled and walked to Jing Jianbai’s side. “You’ve been practicing all day. Aren’t you tired?”
“Let’s go back to the dormitory. We’re filming tomorrow. At the very least we have to conserve our energy.” He patted Jing Jianbai’s shoulder.
Jing Jianbai didn’t move. “I’ll play it again and leave.”
He felt that it was not enough. It didn’t feel right.
When Qiu Ze heard this, he had no intention of stopping him. After all, he had heard this sentence several times in the past few days.
Seeing that Jing Jianbai was about to play one last time, Qiu Ze simply found a seat at the side and waited for him, not saying anything to disturb his state.
The two of them had met during the audition. Qiu Ze was the one who took the initiative to look for Jing Jianbai,
Qiu Ze was very good at finding topics to chat about and had an active personality. Therefore, he was quite harmonious with a boring person like Jing Jianbai.
Moreover, after the audition, Qiu Ze and Jing Jianbai were arranged to become roommates, so they became familiar with each other.
The piano sounded.
Qiu Ze watched as Jing Jianbai played this melody for the umpteenth time. He listened until he was almost familiar with it, but there was no second part.
The song didn’t last long. While Qiu Ze was immersed in it, he saw Jing Jianbai get up to take his bag. It was over.
“I say-” Qiu Ze started. “You’ve been writing this song since I met you. It’s not finished yet?”
It was nice, but just one segment was not enough to become an outstanding work.
Jing Jianbai raised his hand and pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton. “I haven’t finished thinking about it.”
“I’m tired of hearing these words,” Qiu Ze muttered.
He followed Jmg Jianbai into the elevator and stood side by side with him.
The practice room was not far from the dormitory. The two of them arrived in five minutes.
Their dormitory was by the corridor on the third floor. It’s the first one around the corner after going up the stairs.
However, just as they reached the top of the stairs, they heard an extremely arrogant and boastful voice from the dormitory. It seemed to be coming from their dormitory.
“Whoa-I remember that this brand of guitar costs a lot of money. Moreover, there are only 100 limited editions. Now, they’re being sold at an astronomical price! Feng Duo, your father really dotes on you!”
“Of course. If I want anything, I just need to call my father. He’ll give it to me.”
“This is the first time I’ve seen this guitar with my own eyes.”
“My entire house is filled with these. They’re not worth much. Any sports car can be exchanged for a few.”
“That’s great…”
It wasn’t difficult to tell that the owner of the last voice was filled with envy. As they approached the dormitory, the voices became clearer.
Qiu Ze raised his eyebrows in confusion because this voice didn’t belong to any of his roommates in the dormitory, nor did it sound like someone he knew.
As for Jing Jianbai, he didn’t care about this at all. He walked to the door in two steps and reached out to push it open, planning to wash up and sleep.
Tomorrow was the compet.i.tion. He had to sleep well.
“You’re back. I wanted to say that I was going to look for you just now.” When their roommate saw Jing Jianbai and Qiu Ze, he raised his hand and greeted them.
The other gaze that landed on the two of them with the roommate came from the boy sitting beside him.
His short hair, which was dyed silver, was styled in a flamboyant manner. He even had a pair of black earrings. When he looked over, his gaze was brazen, and his sitting posture was arrogant and domineering, taking up the entire ’ sofa.
It was obvious that he was the type of rich young master.
Qiu Ze judged this boy called Feng Duo in his heart.
Jing Jianbai nodded in response. Then, he didn’t even look at Feng Duo or have any intention of talking. He took his toiletries and went to the bathroom.
Feng Duo was originally waiting for the other party to take the initiative to speak. He was looking at the two of them arrogantly, thinking about how these two people would pounce on him to please him. In the end, when he saw Jing Jianbai ignore him and leave, his expression was immediately stunned.
Hey! Feng Duo called out to him angrily.
In the end, Jmg Jianbai even closed the bathroom door and shut him out.
Qiu Ze explained, “He’s just too tired. He practiced for a long time today.”
“That’s right, that’s right,” the roommate added. “Jing Jianbai has this personality. He’s like a block of wood sometimes. Feng Duo, just pretend that he doesn’t exist.”
“What’s there to practice with the piano?” Feng Duo sneered.
He just couldn’t stand Jing Jianbai ignoring him just now, so he deliberately raised his voice and said.
Some people who train everyday can’t improve either. Don’t tell me you think
you can stand out by pulling a long face?”
He didn’t know if he heard it or not, but there was no movement in the bathroom.
Feng Duo’s expression darkened when he didn’t receive a response. He was unhappy.
His originally light-headed mood from being flattered also took a turn for the worse, making Feng Duo lose the mood to stay here.
“Boring.”
Feng Duo said coldly and stood up.
He walked towards the door. When he pa.s.sed by Qiu Ze, he had no intention of moving aside and b.u.mped past the other party’s shoulder.
It was quite rude.
Qiu Ze suppressed the disgust in his heart and still had his usual gentle smile on his face. His roommates thought that he wasn’t angry and immediately relaxed.
Um, Feng Duo’s family seems to be quite rich and powerful. It’s better not to offend him.” His roommate scratched his head and said to Qiu Ze.
Rich and powerful—
Qiu Ze pursed his lips in his heart, and the smile in his eyes turned much colder.
He hated such rich, powerful, and arrogant people the most.
After Feng Duo left, the atmosphere couldn’t help but freeze. His roommate saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly wanted to change the topic. Coincidentally, Jing Jianbai came out of the bathroom at this moment. His roommate suddenly remembered something that he had not said today.
“By the way, isn’t there an empty room here?”
The roommate pointed at the empty room. “I originally thought it was empty,
but in the end, they said that that person will only come tomorrow.”
“Oh, I understand.” Jing Jianbai nodded.
Qiu Ze was in a bad mood and was not interested in chatting. “Ok.”
Seeing their cold reactions, the roommate couldn’t say anything and retreated to his room.
However, when he thought of the guitar he had touched just now, he felt a faint desire in his heart. He couldn’t help but recall the excellent feeling just now.
If only he could have one too.
The three people in the dormitory stopped talking, and Jing Jianbai returned to his room.
He took out a messy piece of paper and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, the person he had met today appeared in his mind.
She was very beautiful and even said that he played very well.
Jmg Jianbai recalled the memory of talking to the other party. Suddenly, inspiration flashed through his mind. He wrote a new melody, perfecting the rhythm of the entire song.
She gave him a different inspiration..
