Chapter 364: Taking Super High Scores in the Compet.i.tion
“Next, let’s welcome contestant # 106, Xia Wanyuan, to the stage.” As the host’s voice sounded, an astonis.h.i.+ng and beautiful woman walked out of the stage.
The judges, who were originally uninterested, were shocked by Xia Wanyuan’s appearance.
This woman from China was really too beautiful, but why was she so young? It was really strange that she had entered the semi-finals at such a young age.
Some people even suspected that there was some inside story behind this compet.i.tion.
“h.e.l.lo, everyone. My name is Xia Wanyuan, and I’m from China. Next, I’ll bring the ancient zither to play.” Xia Wanyuan spoke fluent English and was unrestrained on the stage.
The staff moved Feng Xiqin, who Xia Wanyuan had brought over, onto the stage.
The judges present were basically all people who were familiar with world music. They naturally recognized that this was an extremely ancient instrument in China.
The violin and piano were popular worldwide. Although everyone knew that there were ancient instruments, even the Chinese themselves were unwilling to learn them, let alone foreigners.
Now, everyone had even less hope for Xia Wanyuan. After all, they had never heard of any special achievements in Chinese zithers.
China was relatively famous in the world for a song called “The Moon in the Spring”. Everyone’s impression of China’s traditional instruments was sad and low.
Hence, Xia Wanyuan did the opposite. When she was strolling at Olly Music Academy yesterday, she looked at the blue sky and white clouds on the campus and listened to the church bell. She had a preliminary impression of Olly. She composed this impression into a song.
A low cry suddenly sounded in the silent hall. It was like the sound of a church bell, as if it had come from afar.
The agitated judges stopped when they heard this voice.
Xia Wanyuan gently waved her hand. The dignified aura of the ancient zither, mixed with Xia Wanyuan’s gentle melody, actually had a unique attractiveness.
Everyone seemed to be led by the zither as they pa.s.sed through the flowers that were everywhere and stepped on the lawn that was filled with dew. They could even feel the warmth of the sunlight pa.s.sing through the church’s dome.
Unknowingly, everyone was brought into this peaceful and beautiful realm.
After the song ended, the hall was actually silent for a long time. Only when the host came up to remind everyone did they react.
Then, thunderous applause sounded in the hall.
Wearing a long dress, Xia Wanyuan stood quietly on the stage, enjoying everyone’s praise.
In the end, other than some judges who hated Chinese people very much, basically everyone gave close to perfect scores. In the end, Xia Wanyuan’s results were quite impressive.
After leaving the hall, the young man stood at the door.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s cold expression, the young man guessed that she had definitely failed the selection. The other people with higher scores were all overjoyed when they came out.
“Hey, beauty, it’s okay if you fail. China’s cultivation method is really backward. It’s not your problem. I’m a student from the America Music Academy. Leave a phone number. Perhaps I can introduce my mentor to you and let you study in America.” The young man handed over the phone.
Xia Wanyuan frowned. “You don’t deserve it.”
With that, Xia Wanyuan left without even looking at him. She felt dirty at the sight of such a person who had to defame her country after changing nationality.
The young man behind her was stunned by Xia Wanyuan’s words. “Pfft, if not for your looks, I wouldn’t have bothered with you.”
