In the banquet hall, with the guests arriving one after another, the charity dinner officially began.

  Du Xiangya sat in front of the piano, with a soft white light focused on her body. She wore a pale purple evening gown that reached the floor, and her hair was pulled up high, looking noble and elegant.

  Soft melodies flowed slowly from her slender white fingertips, lingering in the quiet grand hall, making people infatuated and immersed.

  She raised her head and looked at the tall figure standing not far away.

  It seems that no matter when and where, the man is always a crane standing among chickens, making people look up and glance at him with just one glance, without having to make an effort to find him.

  His aura is always as strong as ever, so strong that no one can ignore it.

  Du Xiangya's mood was slightly tense.

  Under the man's gaze, she didn't know if it was because of excitement or guilt, but for a moment, she didn't dare to raise her eyes and meet his line of sight.

  Could only pretend to be indifferent and look down at the score, focusing on playing the music.

  Anyway, it's good that he came!

  In such a situation, Huo Tingxuan being able to show up in person means that he still can't forget about the past and hasn't let it go.

  Just like Xia Si Gui, he painted her portrait for ten years, day after day. Even if it wasn't a deep love that was etched in his bones, there was still an unrelenting obsession in his heart.

  And what she has is the obsession in his heart!

  Huò Tīng Chēn's eyes were fixed intently on the figure sitting at the piano, trying to superimpose her onto the image in his mind.

  A few days ago, the love letter and the chain she posted on social media were verified by Huo Ning Sheng to be the gifts he had personally given her.

  Every word, every stroke is his own handwriting, although he doesn't remember it very clearly, but his handwriting can still be recognized at a glance.

  So in theory, this woman should be the girl who played piano in the music room that year.

  But

  He didn't have much familiarity with her, and it felt like they had never been in contact before.

  "Is it her, brother?"

  Huò Níng Shēng's heart was burning with a fierce Bagua, his heart hanging high, even more tense than Huò Tīng Jūn!

  She actually didn't really hope that Du Xiao Ya was that girl, because if so, there would definitely be conflicts between Big Brother and Sister-in-law, this is something that doesn't even need to be thought about!

  But on the other hand, she hopes she is.

  Only by finding that girl can her brother truly untie the knot in his heart, thoroughly put it down, and avoid always thinking about this person. Even if she was just a bystander, it feels strange and awkward, no wonder her sister-in-law would be so concerned!

  Huò Tīng Chēn's thin lips were pursed, and he didn't respond.

  Huo Ning Sheng continued.

  "Alas, I should have signed my name on the card back then. Now the recipient still doesn't know who sent that love letter until now!"

  "I think she posted that status because her parents are forcing her to get married."

  "Although she had been waiting with all her heart for so many years, after all, she was no longer young and couldn't bear the pressure at home, so she could only put the past down. I inquired about it and it seems that not long from now, she will be engaged to the second son of the Jiang family!"

  Right on cue, the music gradually came to an end.

  Du Xiangya slowly raised her head and said in a somewhat desolate tone.

  "The next song, I want to dedicate it to someone who is not by my side but has accompanied me for nearly ten years. This time, it's the last time I play this song, just like saying goodbye to the past."

  As soon as the words fell, a round of applause immediately erupted in the hall!

  As the applause gradually subsided, the piano sound echoed in my ears once again.

  Du Xiangya is a professionally trained pianist, and every piece she plays is undoubtedly at the performance level. Whether it's an insider or an amateur in the audience, no one can pick out any flaws, and it's clear that this last piece, she played with more heart than the previous two!

  As soon as the music started, Huaning Sheng immediately changed his expression to one of surprise.

  "Brother, it's her! It really is her. She played that tune and even dedicated it especially to you."

  A familiar melody floated into his ears, entwining with the hazy memories in his mind. Huo Tingjun's eyes deepened, and he seemed to see two figures overlapping together.

  However, for no reason, a sound suddenly echoed in his ears, a woman's low sobbing.

  "Huo Tingjun, I hate you"

  "I'm not her, wake up!"

  "You can't treat me like this, I won't forgive you, you beast! You scum!"

  "Brother? Brother?! What's wrong with you?"

  Seeing He Tingchen being somewhat absent-minded, He Ning Song couldn't help but call out to him in a low voice.

  Huo Tingchen then narrowed his eyes and refocused his gaze on the figure in front of the piano.

  As the last note faded away, the hall erupted into applause. Du Xiao Ya took a deep breath and finally gathered her courage to look up at the man in front of her, a gentle smile spreading across her face as she tried to present her best self to him.

  In an instant, their eyes met, and time seemed to have stopped moving.

  Until then, waves of praise came pouring in, as if to drown her.

  "Played too well! No wonder it's a musical family, a master's hand is indeed different!"

  "Sister Du is so young and can already play at such a high level, it's really amazing!"

  "To me, there isn't a second person in all of Rongchuang City who can play the piano better than Du Jie. This is already top-notch!"

  The flattering words had just fallen when a crisp and shrill voice suddenly burst out!

  "No way! She's not the best player!"

  At these words, everyone suddenly fell silent.

  It's as if he didn't react.

  And then I heard that tender childish voice continue!

  "I don't know about anything else, but this song, Teacher Mo plays it much better than her!"

  I didn't expect Feng Zhiyan to suddenly say such a thing, as if he was trying to ruin the atmosphere and not give Du Xiao Ya any face.

  Mrs. Feng's face turned red with embarrassment and she immediately lowered her head and scolded in a low voice.

  "Yan, don't talk nonsense, you're being very rude."

  "Hum! They're the ones talking nonsense! This auntie's playing is just average, not particularly impressive, but they're all praising her to the skies, how fake!"

  "Hiko!"

  "I don't care, Teacher Mo plays it better than her! Grandma, you've also heard it before, didn't you especially like Teacher Mo's performance of this piece?!"

  Mrs. Feng: "Please, for the sake of our ancestors, spare me!"

  Are you here just to ruin everything?!
