I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 269

269 Championship!! Shen Ruojing and Yun Yiheng walked to the stage.

The two of them then separated, standing on the left and right respectively before sitting down on the stage.

Seeing this, the students from the folk music department immediately held their breaths.

As for students from the orchestra music department, they suddenly booed and some even pointed middle fingers before reversing them. Their meaning was clear. They wanted the duo to get off the stage.

Yet, for these two on the stage…one had always been careless, while the other didn’t give a damn about the words said by others.

Yun Yiheng then nodded to Shen Ruojing. After that, he placed his swollen fingers on the zither as his fingertips began to strum. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

A beautiful note rang out and at the same time, Yun Yiheng felt intense pain coursing through his body, making his finger spasm!

But he endured it.

He had to finish playing this music piece!

The gentle and soft zither music slowly flowed through the music hall. It made everyone subconsciously turn quiet, and those students who were pointing middle fingers at the stage also felt their emotions calming as they listened to the music.

It was as though all emotions had been calmed by the zither music at this very moment.

Anxiety, grievances, pompousness, and the compromises people were forced to make in their lives no longer seemed important at this moment. The zither music was like clear water, cleansing their bad emotions. It felt like the gentle, warm hands of a mother consoling their unease.

It was unknown why, but everyone suddenly recalled the words Anonymous once said.

The zither was created for the sake of curing illnesses.

The sound of it truly gave a different feeling compared to the one produced by western musical instruments.

Even students from the orchestra music department subconsciously stopped feeling restless and calmed down.

Wen Yuyi stood backstage and clenched her fists tightly when she listened to the music.

This music piece was so strong.

No wonder Yun Yiheng was so confident before the competition!

After that, her gaze landed on Shen Ruojing again.

The latter lazily placed her fingers on the zither and would only occasionally produce a note or two.

Because the zither music was melded together, no one in the audience had discovered anything.

But when Yun Yiheng played, not only did he have to exert force, but he also had to endure the pain from his finger.

So, not a single person on the scene realized that although Shen Ruojing seemed casual, a few notes that Yun Yiheng failed to play from the pain were ‘filled in’ by Shen Ruojing!

A reporter below immediately turned the camera to them and turned the livestream on. “Teacher Anonymous seems as though she has never learned the zither before. She would casually play a random note. This is just too perfunctory.”

Everyone began to scold her online:

——Although the music is nice, Teacher Anonymous’s attitude is simply too infuriating!

——I truly don’t know why she wants to go on the stage despite knowing nothing about the zither. Is it for the sake of smacking the faces of us, who are from the orchestra music department? I turned from a fan into a hater!

——Bowing her head for the sake of power and authority…I can no longer see the pureness toward music from her body.

…

…

Only people on the scene could feel the resonance produced by the zither, allowing their minds and the music to match frequencies, calming them down.

Those online could only hear the music from the livestream and didn’t experience this effect. Hence, the discussion grew increasingly intense. On the intranet, all students who were not present in the music hall were cursing with anger.

——I’m a student from the folk music department. Honestly speaking, I am touched by student Yun Yiheng’s persistence, but Teacher Anonymous’s actions only make me feel that she’s insulting folk music!

——She is also insulting western classical music!

——Ahh~ I’m so moved by Yun Yiheng but so angered by Teacher Anonymous. I’m listening to the music while trying to balance my emotions!

…

The two on the stage completely had no idea about the situation online.

Yun Yiheng was playing the zither seriously.

He managed to control the audience after playing the prelude. The reactions from the crowd allowed him to know how many people had been convinced by this music piece!

Such an emotion caused too much dopamine to be produced in his body and for a time, the dopamine suppressed the pain from his fingertip and gave him strength and hot-bloodedness.

It was as though the pain of his hand getting smashed was nothing…

His finger overcame the pain and all other difficulties. The speed and frequency of his strumming grew quicker and quicker as he approached the climax!

But at this moment, a variable suddenly occurred!

As the last note prior to the climax approached, he exerted force and picked the string, causing a ‘dang’ sound to resonate through the entire area!

But then, a minute cracking sound could be heard. A piece of nail from his right middle finger broke after he played the note and fell onto the ground!

Simultaneously, his finger was painted red!

As a result, a lot of blood spurted out furiously, landing on his zither and flowing down to the ground onto the stage.

Yun Yiheng was stunned.

He stared at his finger in disbelief!

When his hand was smashed by the chair, part of his nails was already loose. Earlier, he used too much force due to being excited and his nail broke directly… But then, one needed their nails to play the zither.

Without one of them, how could he still continue playing?

He had a powerful will and belief, but all of these couldn’t stand up to reality at this moment!

His eyes gradually turned red.

He then lifted his head blankly and looked at the audience.

Everyone saw the blood from his fingernails…and instantly understood what happened. For a time, everyone fell silent.

Even students from the orchestra music department were shocked.

The banner of victory that they lifted high for Wen Yuyi was subconsciously lowered. All of them then glanced toward the folk music department respectively.

Although it was only for a short minute, all of them were convinced by Yun Yiheng’s prelude.

So, the zither truly had such charm!

So, the music culture of the East was so vast and profound!

However, a competition was a competition, and things were very cruel. Those who gave up halfway would never become champions. Without his nail, it was impossible for him to continue playing.

Students from the folk music department suddenly lifted their phones even higher and clearly typed out a row of words: Yun Yiheng, you are the champion in our hearts!

These words were originally to console him. But at this moment, everyone believed these words!

Online, there were suddenly many voices appearing. All of them felt sympathy for his situation.

Although those who were scolding Anonymous were still present, there were more who typed the sentence: ‘Yun Yiheng, you are the champion in our hearts’, spamming the comment section.

Backstage.

Wen Yuyi clenched her fingers tightly and finally heaved a heavy sigh of relief at this moment.

Luckily…

Luckily, she had invited Qian Nanyin over and intentionally baited him to smash Yun Yiheng’s hand. If not, she might really have lost this competition to Yun Yiheng.

Now that his nail was broken, he had no way to continue playing the zither. In that case, he would surely have to give up.

Giving up halfway would be seen as forfeiting. So, the championship would still belong to her!

On the stage, Yun Yiheng felt his eyes burning as tears streamed down his face.

Men only shed blood and not tears, but he couldn’t endure it anymore.

So in the end, it was still a failure?

At this moment, intense pain flooded him, causing his finger to spasm uncontrollably!

He pursed his lips and wanted to stand up to apologize.

But at this moment, zither music filled with passion abruptly rang out!!!
