Chapter 069: Controlling the Campus Belle, White Moonlight
Lin Lang stood outside the piano room, quietly watching the beautiful Zhou Mengyao elegantly play the piano.
Zhou Mengyao's slender, fair fingers danced across the keys like elves, each note piercing the soul and captivating the listener, as if playing the melody of life, full of poetry and beauty.

At this moment, time seemed to stop, leaving only Zhou Mengyao's beautiful piano music echoing in the sweet air.
Zhou Mengyao, dressed in white like snow, playing the piano was like a beautiful painting, captivating Lin Lang and immersing him in her melodious music.
Zhou Mengyao's piano music, like her soul, was pure and beautiful, rendering Lin Lang defenseless against her.
This scene was like an unfinished poem, an unfinished painting, mesmerizing Lin Lang and making him forget to greet Zhou Mengyao.
After finishing her piece, Zhou Mengyao looked at Lin Lang, who was standing outside the piano room, and smiled enchantingly.
"Lin Lang, when did you arrive?"
"I just sent Master back to the Zhou Residence, and when I heard you playing the piano, I came over to say hello."
"Isn't my dad being discharged tomorrow?"
"Master got tired of staying in the hospital and kept clamoring to go home. Mistress said there was only one day of IV left, and she would give Master the IV at home tomorrow, so he was discharged a day early."
"Then I'll go see my dad."
"Master is tired and has already gone back to his room for a nap, Mengyao, you'd better not disturb him."
"Oh ~ okay!" Zhou Mengyao smiled sweetly.
"The last time I saw you play the piano was during the school anniversary in my first year of high school. That day, you wore a long dress with your hair flowing, and your beautiful solo piano performance is still unforgettable to me."
"Hehe…"
"Lin Lang, I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. I did perform a piano solo at the school anniversary in my first year."
At the charity auction gala, Lin Lang signed in and received the max-level 【Piano Performance Master】 skill from the system, and now he finally had a chance to show off.
"Mengyao, actually, after that day, I've been secretly practicing the piano, but when I was in high school, I was too embarrassed to play it for you."
"Really?!"
"Lin Lang, you've kept it quite hidden! I didn't expect you could play the piano!"
"Not only can I play the piano, but I can also compose piano pieces ~"
"Then don't hold back, Lin Lang, come on, show me what you've got! I want to hear if your piano playing is as amazing as your mastery of divination and metaphysics!"
Zhou Mengyao, with an expectant look, stood up from the piano stool, motioning for Lin Lang to sit down and perform his piano playing.
"Then I shall make a fool of myself."
Lin Lang sat on the piano stool with a smile, his fingers touching the black and white keys, and beautiful notes flowed from his fingertips. The prelude of the intensely oppressive "ninelie" immediately stunned Zhou Mengyao.
"Ding ding…"
"Ding ding…"
"Ding ding…"
High-energy alert.
It felt like after Lin Lang played a few "ding dings," he was about to unleash a big move.
A small shock every three seconds.
The notes seemed to be dancing.
Five seconds later, Zhou Mengyao was so shocked her mouth couldn't close.
The artistic conception of the piano piece was like: when despair comes, you are the god of the new world!
Absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing!
Memories flooded in like a tide.
The feeling of being redeemed.
After ten seconds of listening, Zhou Mengyao was already so shocked her scalp tingled, and she secretly exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
"The piano piece Lin Lang composed is simply explosive! It sounds like a scene of someone holding a long sword, fighting a bloody battle against a thousand troops alone. This damned oppressive feeling is too intoxicating, isn't it?"
"He burned the entire night with blood and life, but fell before dawn…"
"I can't believe that such a tragic yet stunning piano piece was composed by Lin Lang!"
"I love it! I love it!"
"It's like a ray of light in the darkness, simply incredibly beautiful!"
"Leaving aside the hellish difficulty of Lin Lang's piano playing, just his original composition is an epic masterpiece."
Zhou Mengyao is Asia's top female race car driver. Lin Lang's performance of this explosive "ninelie" made Zhou Mengyao's adrenaline surge, as if she were riding her racing motorcycle, speeding through the streets of a post-apocalyptic world, passing through darkness to welcome the dawn, which was incredibly thrilling.
An intensely oppressive piano piece made every cell in Zhou Mengyao's body seem to burn with passion.
It must be said that Lin Lang bringing the 2016 anime ending song "ninelie" from "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" to show off in 2000 was simply invincible.
Bad anime often produces divine songs.
This super-explosive "ninelie" has become popular across the entire internet on various short video apps, making it perfectly suited for Lin Lang to show off.
After Lin Lang finished his piece.
Zhou Mengyao, like a little fangirl, clapped her hands and cheered, her eyes filled with admiration, and she exclaimed with lingering delight: "Old classmate, you are too amazing!"
"Your original composition is truly incredible!"
"I admire you so much!"
"Listening to you play this piece gave me a sense of dancing on lava, with the heat of passion, yet unable to stop, truly so beautiful!"
Lin Lang replied with feigned modesty: "Mengyao, you're exaggerating. I just secretly taught myself the piano, and composing is just a humble attempt ~"
Zhou Mengyao blinked her butterfly-like big eyes and replied with affectionate gaze: "Lin Lang, I'm really not flattering you!"
"It's not that I'm saying nice things to praise you, but your piano playing skills and your original piano piece truly amazed me!"
"Since childhood, professors from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music were invited by my father to teach me piano personally. I am at least a Grade 10 pianist, but in front of a self-taught piano genius like you, I'm at the level of a senior kindergarten student."
"Lin Lang, you don't even know that your piano playing has reached a state of perfection."
"When I just watched you play this piece, that immediate sense of a piano prince, as if you could rule the whole world by using dancing notes, was truly so Handsome, so Handsome!"
Lin Lang continued to speak with feigned modesty: "Mengyao, you're exaggerating more and more. I'm not as amazing as you say ~"
Zhou Mengyao, however, said with an exaggerated expression: "Lin Lang, if you're too modest, it starts to sound a bit fake."
"This young lady can tell you without exaggeration that your piano playing has reached the pinnacle of domestic pianists!"
"I've attended many concerts by world-class pianists, and even the top three ranked piano performers in the world are like little brothers compared to you. You are simply too amazing!"
Lin Lang took out a comb from his pocket, pretentiously combed his hair, then dramatically flicked his bangs, and said comically with a serious face: "No more pretending!"
"I'm coming clean!"
"Handsome does indeed know a thing or two about piano playing, just a little! Just a little, really ~"
Zhou Mengyao covered her mouth and smiled sweetly: "Old classmate, you're so humorous! You've become much more interesting than when we were in high school ~"
"This afternoon is the last day for on-site registration for the China Piano Performance Master Cup hosted by Shanghai Television Station. I'll take care of your registration, and you'll be responsible for winning the competition and bringing the China Piano Performance Master Cup home. How about it?"
Lin Lang, however, politely declined: "Mengyao, you know me. I'm not interested in such empty fame."
Zhou Mengyao, however, took Lin Lang's hand, shook his arm, and sweetly pleaded: "Lin Lang, just consider it fulfilling my dream. Please reluctantly participate in the on-site audition and win the China Piano Performance Master Cup!"
"Even if I beg you, is that still not enough?"
"After lunch, we'll go to Shanghai Television Station to register for the on-site audition, okay?"
Being affectionately held and pleaded with by Zhou Mengyao, Lin Lang instantly lost his resistance and replied indulgently: "Okay, okay, okay!"
"Whatever you say!"
"Isn't it just participating in the Shanghai TV competition and winning the China Piano Performance Master Cup? Even if it were the World Piano Performance Master Cup, I could win it for you."
"That's great!" Zhou Mengyao smiled enchantingly, beautiful like a mystery.
I felt it.
The atmosphere was right.
Lin Lang continued to show off: "Mengyao, actually, not only can I compose piano pieces, but I can also write songs. I even secretly wrote a song for you once!"

Zhou Mengyao blinked her clear eyes and exclaimed: "Really?!"
"Then play and sing the song you secretly wrote for me right now!"
Lin Lang gently stroked the black and white keys, pretending to be melancholic, and said: "This song is called '"if at that time"'. I'll play and sing it for you, my deskmate. I hope you like it."
Zhou Mengyao, smiling like a flower, clapped her hands, full of anticipation.
Lin Lang instantly got into character and began to sing ""if at that time"" with deep emotion. As the piano prelude began, Zhou Mengyao's eyes lit up, not expecting that Lin Lang's love song, even just its prelude, could be so beautiful.
Lin Lang, transformed into a piano prince, began to sing with deep emotion. His half-dead, breath-hanging vocal style and retro, beautiful singing instantly captivated Zhou Mengyao.
Why were you so good to me then?
And why have you become so cold now?
I know love leaves, hard to stop
Anyway, what's not mine, I shouldn't want
You and I once had common interests
Whose ears always have perfect verses lingering?
It was really funny when we talked in classical Chinese
And laughed at Cao Cao's coveting of Xiao Qiao
The sky turned gray, the rain fell
Vision became blurry
At this moment, I felt your importance
Love left, heart left
You said you were leaving
I sang the last ancient ballad for you
Crimson rain poured, stirring up memories, how can they sink?
Your beautiful eyes still revolve in my heart as they did back then
At the ferry, the last farewell marked the end
If we had only met for the first time, why would we feel sad about parting…
When Lin Lang sang to the chorus, Zhou Mengyao was instantly amazed.
"Crimson rain poured, stirring up memories, how can they sink? Your beautiful eyes still revolve in my heart as they did back then. If we had only met for the first time, why would we feel sad about parting?" As soon as these chorus lyrics came out, Zhou Mengyao was deeply moved.
The moment Lin Lang sang the chorus lyrics of ""if at that time"", Zhou Mengyao's thoughts returned to the first day of high school, when she shyly met the gaze of her deskmate, the campus heartthrob Lin Lang.
Lin Lang sang with a sense of brokenness like first love, making Zhou Mengyao feel an irresistible urge to fall in love.
After one song, Lin Lang finished playing the last note.
Zhou Mengyao's bright eyes sparkled with tears, and she clapped her hands like a lovesick fan, exclaiming: "Wow ~ Old classmate, you are truly talented!"
"I didn't expect you not only play the piano well, but your original love songs are even more beautiful!"
"Lin Lang, is this song really written for me?"
Lin Lang looked into Zhou Mengyao's clear eyes and replied affectionately: "Yes! Who could replace you?"
Zhou Mengyao smiled shyly after hearing this and replied: "The subtle and reserved style of this song is just like you when you were in high school, but this song clearly sounds like it's sung to a first love, a white moonlight."
"You said this song was written for me, so am I your white moonlight?"
