PFC Chapter 363 Clues
Chapter 363 Clues
Although Bai Yuan and Wen Yi Che were recognized as the best partners in the Jingli International Conservatory of Music, the number of times they actually performed on stage together was very few, and the only time they actually performed together was when Bai Yuan was in the first grade of junior high school and Wen Yi Che was in the third grade.
After the second year, Wen Yiche was promoted to the high school department, and Bai Yuan's partner began to change again and again. In the performances of the next two years, the person playing the piano was almost always different.
Also, when it comes to piano, no matter how good other people are, they are not as good as Wen Yi Che, who is known as a genius at a young age, nor do they have the tacit understanding that he and Bai Yuan have developed since they were young.
Taking into account several factors, the partnership between Wen Yiche and Bai Yuan has become an unforgettable classic.
The photo that Pei Jin's followers found was of the last time the two performed together on stage when they were in junior high school.
Bai Yuan was only ten years old at the time, normally still the age for elementary school students. At first glance, he looked like a half-grown child.
Although he looked almost the same as now, his stature, which was obviously shorter than that of a junior high school student, his immature eyebrows and eyes, the baby fat on his cheeks, and his expression, which was much colder and more serious than now, all made Pei Jin feel very novel.
Especially after Bai Yuan showed Pei Jin his childhood photos, whenever he faced her, he always felt a sense of frustration as if his past had been exposed and he couldn't hold his head up in front of her.
Now the situation has changed. He also got some old photos of Bai Yuan. Although they were not any dark history or embarrassing photos that the other party was embarrassed to talk about, they also made Pei Jin find a sense of balance and self-numbing comfort in his heart.
He first stared at the young Bai Yuan in the photo for a while, then his gaze leisurely turned to Wen Yiche who was standing on the same stage with her, to see what this person, who Bai Yuan had been in frequent contact with recently and even had photos of them saved on his mobile phone, looked like.
There is nothing to say about the young man's appearance, he is cold, noble and calm, just like a green pine growing proudly in the snow on a high mountain, with a hint of arrogance between his brows.
In the photo, Wen Yiche and Bai Yuan wore the same white performance costumes, which complemented each other. One was standing and the other was sitting. The photo just captured the moment when the two looked at each other tacitly. Whether in terms of light and shadow or composition, there was a kind of harmony and tacit understanding that others could not fit in.
Pei Jin stared at the photo carefully for a while. Perhaps because he had been silent for a long time, the attendant beside him who was presenting the photo was a little confused. While observing Pei Jin's likes and dislikes, the attendant carefully asked:
"Mr. Pei, is there anything wrong with the photo?"
Hearing this, Pei Jin raised his head and asked indifferently, "What's the problem with this?"
Then, his eyes returned to the photo, and he commented in a normal tone, "Don't mention it, this photo shows that the two of them are quite..."
He paused and wanted to say the word "well-matched", but felt that it was a bit inappropriate.
Besides, when these words came out of his mouth, it seemed like he was talking nonsense.
So he changed his words and said, "It seems to be true."
"Of course not! Master Pei, I followed your instructions and told my friend that I wanted to find information about "Wen Yiche". He sent me this photo without saying a word."
Seeing that Pei Jin showed no sign of dissatisfaction, the attendant let go of his worries and breathed a sigh of relief. His tone changed from careful flattery to seeking credit, and he continued to whisper in Pei Jin's ear the news he had gathered:
"I heard from him that 'Wen Yi Che' is a famous musical talent in Beijing and a piano genius. He went to the same school as Bai Yuan in junior high school. It is said that the two of them were once ensemble partners and were recognized as the best duo in the school..."
Pei Jin leaned back on the sofa holding the photo, raised his foot and kicked the follower's calf, signaling him to stop talking and get to the point. "I'm not blind, tell me something I don't know! This guy looks older than Bai Yuan, right? Where is he now and what is he doing?"
The attendant had been with Pei Jin for a long time and knew his character very well. Therefore, he nimbly dodged the kick and continued to answer:
"I heard that he went abroad for further studies last year."
"Study abroad?" Pei Jin thought of his own study abroad experience and subconsciously wanted to avoid this topic.
At this time, another follower came forward and sat down next to Pei Jin. He stretched his head over to take a look at the photo in Pei Jin's hand and asked:
"This guy and Bai Yuan were classmates in junior high school. They practiced piano together and were recognized as the best duo in the school. Now he is packing up to go abroad, leaving Bai Yuan alone in China. Why do they sound so similar..."
He deliberately kept it a secret, and looked at Pei Jin with a smile, "Mr. Pei, what do you think?"
Pei Jin didn't think there was anything wrong with it just now, but after hearing it from his follower, he gradually figured out some intriguing meanings and speculations. His azure eyes flashed, "You mean...?"
The follower just smiled and said nothing.
The other followers in the room who were playing along only heard roughly what was said and didn't understand what it meant. Seeing that Pei Jin and his friends were talking in circles and refusing to speak out, they gathered together and started whispering to each other.
"What did you say?"
"Stupid! Pig brain!"
"Study abroad, Bai Yueguang, understand? Do I need to explain it in more detail?"
"what???"
"Shh, keep your voice down, Master Pei hasn't spoken yet, don't let him hear..."
The room was noisy. Seven or eight people seemed to be playing their own games, but in fact they were all paying attention to Pei Jin's reaction intentionally or unintentionally.
Pei Jin pondered for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was quite true.
With this explanation, the previous clues make sense.
Bai Yuan hung up on him in front of others because he was meeting with his lover Bai Yueguang in private. The photo of the two of them in his phone might have reminded him of her. Recently, Bai Yuan has been spending most of her time on music, chatting frequently with the person on the other end of the phone...
Needless to say, it must be to keep in touch with Wen Yiche who is abroad.
Although Pei Jin knew that he and Bai Yuan were only in a negotiating and cooperative relationship, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
After determining that Bai Yuan had a lover who was abroad, he couldn't help but wonder why the other party would agree to a marriage agreement with him if he had a lover who was abroad.
Doesn’t she or he mind?
Or, even if Bai Yuan explained it to him openly, it would be much easier for him to accept than to find out privately as he is doing now.
The more Pei Jin thought about it, the more he thought about it.
Seeing that he didn't look very good, the people around him started to murmur in their hearts and poked each other, and finally pushed someone to come forward to comfort Young Master Pei.
The person who was pushed out felt miserable, thinking that this young master was really difficult to serve. Then he turned his eyes and looked at the photo in Pei Jin's hand. His sight fell on the musical instrument, and suddenly he had an idea:
"Mr. Pei, what's so great about him being able to play the piano? Can't you play it too?"
