Chapter 1085: Piano playing coming from the room!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

The next day.

The King of Masked Singers concert was getting hyped up!

Be it within the industry or to the audience, everyone was looking forward to that day. They were also anticipating what kind of finale The Clown, Petal Shower, Sunset Glow, Flowing Time, King of Oddity, Spinach, and the others would perform for the concert!

In the morning.

Zhang Ye got up and ate breakfast.

Ring, ring, ring.

The Clown's cell phone was ringing.

Zhang Ye was startled at first, then answered it. "Hello, Little Han?"

On the other end of the line, Han Qi said: "Good morning, Teacher Zhang."

Zhang Ye laughed and said: "Why are you still calling me on this cell phone?"

Han Qi said in embarrassment, "Ah, I got used to it and didn't notice. Teacher Zhang, Director Hu wanted me to inform you that the concert this weekend will proceed according to plan. You can take part in the concert since the SARFT did not raise any objections."

"Alright, I understand."

Han Qi said: "We found it quite strange. We were already prepared for an inquiry by the SARFT on this matter, but surprisingly, nothing came of it in the end."

Zhang Ye smiled. "Isn't that good?"

Han Qi asked: "Have you decided on the song that you'll be singing? When can you start rehearsing?"

Zhang Ye thought about it. "I haven't decided yet. I'll contact you again within the next two days."

Why didn't the authorities say anything?

They did not know what the reason was, but Zhang Ye did.

His mother looked at him. "Are they pressing you for the song that you'll be singing at the concert?"

Zhang Ye grunted in affirmation.

His mother asked with interest, "Are you ready? What song will you be singing? Are you going to sing another song for me and your dad? That 'I Really Love You' was quite a good song."

Zhang Ye coughed and said, "Probably not? I still haven't decided on what to sing after thinking about it all last night. I still need to give it some thought." However, Zhang Ye wanted to handle something else right now. He had to take his mind off the concert for a while. "Dad, Mom, I need to go out after lunch. I won't be coming home for dinner tonight."

"Where are you running off to now?"

"I'm going out to buy a piano."

"Do we have any space for that at home?"

He had something that he wanted to do.

It was something that was very important to him.

...

Later that morning.

In a piano shop without many customers.

The shop was rather empty. Other than the female manager, there was no one else around at the moment.

A young man wearing a pair of sunglasses and a surgical mask pushed open the door and walked in. "Hello, do you have a piano for sale? I'm looking for a decent one."

The female manager nonchalantly looked up and suddenly screamed, "Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

Zhang Ye was frightened. "Whoa, what's the matter?"

The female manager seemed to have seen a ghost. "Zhang Ye! You are Zhang Ye!"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "You can even recognize me like this?"

The female manager blurted out, "I've been following King of Masked Singers every week! I can recognize you even if you turn to ashes!" Then, probably realizing that it sounded a little inappropriate, she quickly said, "Aiyo, I love you to death! You sang so well! You want to buy a piano? You don't have to pay! I'll give you a piano for free! You can choose from any of the pianos in the shop."

Zhang Ye waved her off. "How could that do?"

The female manager said in embarrassment, "It's alright, just…let me take a picture with you to put in our shop. Consider it promotion for us."

Zhang Ye smiled at that and said, "How about this? I'll pay for the piano and also take a picture with you, that OK?"

The female manager immediately said, "That would be great. Is the piano a gift for someone or yourself? Let me recommend you the best piano we have in our shop. Although it's a bit expensive, but hai, it's not like you're poor or anything. Come, come. What do you think of this piano? It's a high-end one; I wouldn't sell it to just anyone." Whether she was usually this talkative or just excited to see him, Zhang Ye didn't know. He just listened to her chatter away anyway.

Finally, he selected the piano he wanted.

"Where should I deliver it? Please write down an address for us."

"You don't have to deliver it. I need it today, so can you get someone to help me tie it up on my car?"

"Ah? What kind of a car do you have?"

"A BMW X5."

"But there's no way to fit it in there."

"Just secure it on top of the car."

"How can that do? Your car will get scratched."

"It's a bulletproof car. You won't be able to scratch it."

"Uh, th-then I'll get someone to give it a try."

The female manager knew that a big shot like Zhang Ye would not be willing to let others know his address, so she wasn't exactly surprised at this and immediately went to find someone.

...

Evening.

6 PM.

Wu Zeqing had just gotten off from work and was walking out of the office building.

"Chief Wu."

"You're leaving?"

"Chief Wu, take care."

"It's been hard on you, Chief Wu."

Wu Zeqing nodded at them with a smile. "You guys knock off early when you finish working."

A department supervisor walked quickly to her and said with an anguished look, "Chief Wu, about the list for the concert that was submitted by King of Masked Singers—"

Wu Zeqing waved it off and said, "It's already been decided. Don't bring it up anymore."

The supervisor said nervously, "But Chief Chen seems to—"

"If he has any problems, get him to come and look for me," Wu Zeqing said calmly.

"Oh, alright then."

Secretary Bai Li quickly caught up with her. "Chief Wu, you can't drive your car today, right? I'll send you home."

Wu Zeqing nodded. "OK."

In the car.

Bai Li blinked and said, "What are you having for dinner tonight?"

Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "I'll just go home and fix something up for dinner. Since I'm eating alone, I can make do with anything."

Bai Li instinctively asked, "You're still single?" Then she realized her slip of the tongue. "Oh, look at me, I always ask about things that I shouldn't be asking. Please don't take it to heart."

Wu Zeqing smiled. "You've been working for me for a year. Why are you still so restrained?"

Bai Li laughed and said, "Because you're the boss."

They arrived at Wu Zeqing's place.

Bai Li said, "I'll be going then, Chief Wu."

Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "Alright, thank you."

She turned around and walked into the villa's yard in her high heels. She had a glance at the flowers in the yard and thought that they looked quite beautiful. Walking to the front door, she took out her keys to open the door and bent down to change into her slippers.

It was the same thing every day.

It was the same routine every day.

Opening the door.

Changing into her slippers.

Opening the refrigerator.

Making dinner.

Except something different happened today!

The moment Wu Zeqing closed the door, she could hear piano playing coming from upstairs!

She didn't have a piano at home!

There shouldn't be anyone in her house!

Old Wu looked up to the second floor and was stunned for a moment. Then she headed straight for the upstairs.

The sound of the piano was very soothing.

The melody sounded really nice too.

All of a sudden, a voice softly drifted out in the room.

It was a man's voice!

It was a very clean male voice 1 !

"I have loved, and also lost.

"Tasted the sweet and tart parts of love.

"Escaped from the irony of fate.

"I know what I want.

"There is an indescribable state.

"Created by all emotions thereof.

"Why ponder the meaningless cost?

"What in this world is there to be proud of."

Wu Zeqing walked up the stairs.

The sound of the piano was getting closer and closer!

The singing was also getting closer and closer!

The man sang loudly.

"If I'm without you,

"I keep my eyes on the distant peaks!

"But miss the turn on the track!

"Suddenly I looked back!

"I found you waiting for me, you were always there!

"I searched down in the seas of pitch black!

"And ignored the meandering rivers!

"When I found myself going against the tide!

"You were at my side, pushing me on!"

The door to the study was ajar.

Wu Zeqing stood at the door. Seeing the man at the piano, she didn't know what to do for a moment. Where did the piano come from? What was with this song?

The man sitting at the piano was Zhang Ye!

Zhang Ye continued to play.

"I know that I am very rich.

"Because love fulfills all.

"Every hole in my life.

"You've filled them with your sincerity.

"Right now.

"From this moment on.

"I want to hold you in my arms.

"And give you twice the affection.

"I want to sing a love song dedicated to you!

"So please listen!"

Old Wu.

This song is dedicated to you!

Actually, I've wanted to sing you a song since a long, long time ago. But there just wasn't a chance to do so. I will only ever sing this song for you. Thank you for not leaving me when I was most down and out. Thank you for always staying by my side!

As everyone knows, I'm not someone who usually speaks seriously and I don't know how to express what I really want to say. There are some things that I just can't put into words.

So, please, let me sing for you!

Zhang Ye sang in the tenor range.

"I kept my eyes on the distant peaks!

"But missed the turn on the track!
