Loved By An Older Man

"Okay, I agree," Kang Xue said. "I will definitely win against Jiang Yu at the welcoming party!"

Professor Karl sighed, thinking that this child's competitive spirit was too strong.

He said, "Then this after-school task will be compressed to a week's time. I will grade your completion according to the reactions of the entire school's teachers and students."

"Okay." Kang Xue nodded and led her people to follow Professor Karl to the music room.

After they left, Bessie burst out with her dissatisfaction, she said, "What's wrong with this Kang Xue!? How could there be such an unreasonable person in this world? The piano room wasn't her family's, so why should she monopolize it!! And that Mary, she's on the same side as Kang Xue! No wonder I hated her the moment I saw her!"

She said a whole bunch of things in one breath, almost venting out her anger. Only then did she stop to calm herself down.

Jiang Yu said, "It's alright. She's always been like this. She's arrogant and doesn't think about the consequences when she does things. She has found so many people for her musical, so it's very difficult for her to coordinate with them in a short period of time. When the day comes for the welcoming party, I'm afraid that she won't even have time to have a proper rehearsal for her musical."

"I see!" Bessie suddenly realized, she said, "I knew it. It's everyone's first time doing a piano musical. Why would she find so many people? If that's the case, it would be difficult to mediate if there's a conflict."

"That's indeed the case," said Xu Ye, who had been silent the whole time. He said, "Jiang Yu, I really believe in your strength. That's why I agreed to help you back then. Please don't disappoint me. Otherwise, you'll be letting down your title of 'Movie Queen'."

"Movie Queen?" Bessie was surprised. She said, "Jiang Yu! So you're the Movie Queen?"

Ivan, who hadn't had much of a presence, walked over and asked, "You're the Movie Queen?"

Jiang Yu hadn't told anyone about her identity because she just wanted to be an ordinary student. After all the classes were over, she would be able to pass all of Cecilia University's graduation exams and obtain her graduation certificate.

However, Xu Ye had revealed her identity.

However, he seemed to be very surprised that Bessie, a good friend who had always been by Jiang Yu's side, did not know that she was the Movie Queen?

"Jiang Yu, didn't you tell them?" Xu Ye asked.

Jiang Yu sighed and said, "I just felt that there was no need to."

"It's not a bad thing." As Xu Ye spoke, he approached Jiang Yu and reached out to help her remove a piece of shredded paper from her hair.

"... Thank you." Jiang Yu originally wanted to say, "Please keep your distance," but when she saw the piece of shredded paper in Xu Ye's hand, she had no choice but to take back her words and simply thank him.

Suddenly, a faint light flashed by the door.

Jiang Yu glanced at the door, but she didn't see anything.

Perhaps she had been too tired from this musical recently, so her eyes were playing tricks on her. She said, "Everyone, hurry up and practice. Yan Fu just sent me a message saying that she and Xi Yao have already finished their lessons and are walking towards us."

Hence, everyone started practicing again. Xu Ye and Ivan continued to match the lyrics while Jiang Yu and Bessie continued to practice their tunes.

Although it was a piano musical, the preparation time was too short, so a story that was too long was not easy to rehearse. Jiang Yu's story was very short. Most of the time, it was the inner monologue of the characters, accompanied by a long, long piano piece.

This was not a traditional piano musical, but in a sense, it was also a kind of innovation.

Yan Fu and Xi Yao came to the piano room. They did not even have time to exchange greetings before they took out their scripts and threw themselves into the intense rehearsal.

They were both professional actors, and they were able to grasp their emotions very well when it came to a musical with such a short story. There was no need for Jiang Yu and Bessie to worry at all.

So, after all the practice was over, it was time for the story and the piece to be combined.

Although none of them had ever done a musical before, and they didn't usually combine such novel fairy tales and piano pieces together, surprisingly, they weren't nervous at all. Instead, they were in high spirits, they couldn't wait to see the final result.

Apart from playing the piano piece, Jiang Yu and Bessie also played the narration for the first half and the second half, respectively.

When Jiang Yu read the narration, Bessie played the piano to cater to her.
