The sound of the piano was brisk and melodious, and people off stage and behind the scenes were watching Sheng Jiaoyang playing the piano on the stage. No one noticed that someone had walked into the auditorium and had stopped to listen to the performance.
Once the song was finished, Sheng Jiaoyang stood up. She gave a bow to the audience, and everyone applauded. She was stunned when she inadvertently saw a familiar person standing near the aisle in the auditorium.
Sheng Jiaoyang got off the stage and walked over. She stopped two steps away and slightly looked up at the person standing in front of her.
"You...what are you doing here?"
"If I didn't check on you in person, I wouldn't feel at ease."
Sheng Jiaoyang lowered her head and smiled. "I'm fine, so you can rest assured now."
"I can't." Lin Yan sighed.
Huh? Sheng Jiaoyang glanced at him with doubt in her eyes.
Lin Yan was staring at her. Her silhouette was reflected in his eyes, and his gaze was so affectionate and captivating that she couldn't resist.
"W-what?" Sheng Jiaoyang suddenly felt a little nervous.
"I don't want anything to happen to you again," Lin Yan replied.
Sheng Jiaoyang felt her heart stir and helplessly thought that she'd overestimated her resistance towards Lin Yan. She quickly changed the topic and asked, "Did you hear the song I played earlier?"
"Yes," Lin Yan answered with a slight smile. How could he not know that she was deliberately changing the subject?
"How was my performance?"
"If you'd adjusted the beat for a few notes, it would've sounded even better."
"Oh?" Sheng Jiaoyang was stunned. "Which notes?"
Lin Yan's lips curled upwards. "My tuition is quite expensive, so how about we discuss this over lunch?"
Sheng Jiaoyang glanced at her watch and saw that it was around 1 PM. "Wait a moment, I'll go notify Teacher Zhou."
"Alright."
After bidding farewell, Sheng Jiaoyang and her bodyguard left with Lin Yan.
When they arrived at a western restaurant, Sheng Jiaoyang and Lin Yan sat at one table, while the female bodyguard sat at another table with Lin Yan's bodyguard.
"Did you come all the way here to check on me?" Sheng Jiaoyang asked as she stared at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan's expression was gentle as he replied, "After talking to you that day, I decided that I'm not going to restrain my feelings anymore. When I'm worried about you, when I want to see you, and when you need me, I'll appear in front of you, no matter how far away I am."
Thump-thump! Thump-thump!
Sheng Jiaoyang picked up her glass and drank a few gulps to hide her expression.
"When are you leaving?" She changed the subject again.
"Tonight."
Sheng Jiaoyang didn't know whether she should feel happy or disappointed.
Lin Yan took in her expression and gently said, "I know that you've found a new hobby. Your drama will air soon, but I won't be able to watch it immediately due to the time difference. Could you tell me something about the plot?"
Sheng Jiaoyang couldn't refuse his request.
When their steaks were served, she was in the middle of introducing the plot. When she was almost done, the steak in front of Lin Yan had been carefully cut into small pieces around the same size. He got up and swapped his plate with Sheng Jiaoyang's.
