Chapter 178

"How come he was fine before, and suddenly went back to his hometown for no reason?"

Kawai Akisuke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and snorted coldly:

"Don't go prying into other people's private matters... hurry back."

After speaking.

He returned to Mitang Zhiji's side respectfully, not daring to even breathe loudly, and could only stay there timidly.

But Mitang Zhiji turned a blind eye to his presence and just sat quietly.

At this moment.

Vice Student Council President Yusheng Zhanghui came to Mitang Zhiji's side and asked with his head lowered:

"President Mitang, if you have no requirements, I will proceed with the speech as originally agreed. What do you think?"

Mitang Zhiji waved her hand casually.

Yusheng Zhanghui nodded:

"Understood."

After speaking.

He waited patiently below.

Soon.

Freshman representative Shankou Botai's speech ended.

Members of the orchestra club came to the stage one by one, preparing for the performance.

There were nearly 40 of them.

But Yusheng Zhanghui's gaze only fell on the position of the concertmaster.

There sat an extremely beautiful girl, her temperament intellectual, gentle, and graceful, with a distinct tear mole under her left eye—it was none other than Tsukishima Rin.

Tsukishima Rin held her violin, walked with graceful steps, and came to the stage with the other club members.

Just after coming up.

She couldn't help but look for someone in the audience.

Tsukishima Rin originally thought she might need some time to find that person.

But she didn't expect.

Even sitting in the crowd, that person was like a spotlight, and she found him instantly.

Tsukishima Rin discovered that when she looked over, Natsume Chikage was also looking at her.

This couldn't help but make her feel very happy.

Clearly, Natsume Chikage had really promised her that he would watch her performance well.

Taking advantage of everyone finding their seats and organizing their instruments, Tsukishima Rin secretly waved at Natsume Chikage.

Natsume Chikage nodded slightly after witnessing this.

Seeing this, the joy on Tsukishima Rin's face became even harder to contain.

She looked down at the heart rate monitor on her left hand.

It was displaying a heart rate of about 85 beats per minute.

Although Tsukishima Rin knew that the calmer the heart rate during a performance, the better it was for the performance.

That could avoid fluctuations caused by emotions and the body, which would affect the performance.

But now, she felt that the uncontrollable emotional fluctuation in her heart actually gave her unprecedented confidence and courage.

Tsukishima Rin felt that this performance of hers might be better than ever before.

She sat back in her seat, closed her eyes slightly, picked up the violin with her slender fingers, placed it on her body, and assumed the posture of about to play.

Before long.

The music teacher, acting as the conductor, saw that everyone was ready and gently waved the baton on the podium.

Nearly 40 orchestra club members below played beautiful music along with the rhythm of the baton, which resounded throughout the gymnasium.

One of the responsibilities of the concertmaster is to control the scene.

It can be said that she is the second conductor besides the conductor teacher.

So Tsukishima Rin had to take care of guiding everyone while playing!

However, today.

Whether it was the teacher on the podium or the club members surrounding Tsukishima Rin.

Everyone could feel incredibly clearly from every note flowing from her that she was filled with more sincere emotions than at any other time.

That emotion was not deliberate, but naturally poured out from her fingertips.

Endowing music with profound and natural emotions is precisely the necessary path to becoming a true music master.

Hearing this infectious violin sound, while they were moved by Tsukishima Rin's increasingly skilled and exquisite musical techniques, they also couldn't help but be deeply resonated and guided by this emotional melody.

The performance state of the entire orchestra seemed to be twisted into a rope by an invisible force, and the overall performance level was also raised to a new height at this moment.

After a while.

The beautiful music surrounding the gymnasium ended perfectly under the powerful closing of the baton.

After a brief silence, the performance ended.

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the audience instantly, surging toward the stage like a tide.

Kondo Weixi, who was also performing on stage, immediately put down the violin in her hand carefully, couldn't wait to turn her head, and looked at Senior Tsukishima Rin at the concertmaster position on the stage with burning eyes.

Her eyes were filled with pure worship and longing.

She just felt that Senior Tsukishima Rin's performance just now was simply radiant and too amazing!

She really lived up to being a genius violinist who had been winning awards since she was a child!

And today's state was even more outstanding and dazzling than usual practice and past performances!

Sure enough, Senior Tsukishima should...

However, when Kondo Weixi's excited gaze followed the direction Senior Tsukishima Rin's eyes were touching, the worship on her face instantly solidified.

She discovered that the person Senior Tsukishima Rin was gazing at with a bright smile was actually Natsume Chikage in the audience.

Kondo Weixi's expression stalled instantly, the light in her eyes faded rapidly, and her expression became somewhat gloomy.

And after the performance ended, Tsukishima Rin was panting slightly, her face was exceptionally excited, and she immediately looked at Natsume Chikage in the crowd.

When she found that he had been watching her and applauding for her, her intellectual face became even more joyful, full of smiles, and she secretly waved at Natsume Chikage.

And when she saw that although Natsume Chikage was also waving at her side, Xiyuanji Qilai was leaning into his ear, chatting happily about something.

Witnessing this situation, Tsukishima Rin's intellectual, fair little face couldn't help but puff up slightly, clearly a little jealous.

As for Mitang Zhiji, it goes without saying that she clearly noticed the little interaction between the two.

She tilted her head slightly, and her strange and deep eyes looked at Tsukishima Rin a few more times.

Yusheng Zhanghui, who had been watching Tsukishima Rin, turned his head to look at Natsume Chikage, his eyes narrowed slightly, making it difficult to see the emotions within.

After a while.

The opening ceremony of Private Moonlight Academy ended steadily.

And at this time.

It was finally the turn for the TV station's interview time.

Tokyo TV anchor Sawada Rixiang had actually noticed that Natsume Chikage was also here at the beginning of the opening ceremony.

This was an unexpected joy; clearly, she hadn't expected to meet Natsume Chikage here.

If she met him, she could just grab him to shoot a video.

In any case, the task given to them by the private Moonlight Academy and TV Tokyo was to interview and film, which was meant to pull aside first-year students and ask them about their impressions of the school.

Now that she had met Natsume Chikage, it was just perfect.

You have to know that Natsume Chikage didn't even appear for a few minutes in the footage of the previous shogi tournament, yet he could cause quite a stir on the internet.

If she could seize this traffic, she would definitely be able to get a little popular!

At this moment.

The students dispersed one after another.

Sawada Rixiang seized the opportunity and immediately walked toward Natsume Chikage's direction.

However, just as she was about to approach him.

A girl who looked beautiful but had a paralyzed face with no expression—Jinwei Tong—stood in front of her, blocking her way.

Sawada Rixiang paused, clearly not expecting Jinwei Tong to suddenly block the way.

However, she knew very well that this Jinwei Tong was a maid beside Mitang Zhiji, and her status was also very high, not someone she could afford to provoke. ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
