“Continent O?” When Jun Shiling heard this news, he thought for a moment and decided. “I’ll go with you.”
“…” Xia Wanyuan smiled helplessly. “Jun Shiling, I’m going to participate in the competition. Why are you going?”
“I’m going to a meeting.” Jun Shiling said matter-of-factly.
What Xia Wanyuan did not know was that during the five days and five nights she had been buried in the cave, Jun Shiling had experienced five days of wind and sun on the mountain peak. No one knew what his heart had experienced.
At that time, he had sworn in his heart that no matter what happened in the future, he would not be separated from Xia Wanyuan for more than a day.
Since Jun Shiling had decided, he began to inform Lin Jing about the schedule.
Although Xia Wanyuan was helpless, she had just confirmed her relationship with Jun Shiling. When the two of them were intimate, she was very happy that Jun Shiling was willing to accompany her.
According to Cai Qin’s tone, Xia Wanyuan felt that the difficulty of this music competition should be very high, so she did not tell Tang Yin and Li Heng what she was going to do.
She was afraid that if everyone had hope, it would not be good to lose it in the end, so she used the excuse that her wound was a little problematic and she needed to rest.
Over the past few days, Li Heng had been especially enthusiastic about filming Xia Wanyuan. In fact, he had already exceeded the filming volume, so Li Heng generously approved of Xia Wanyuan’s leave.
Xia Wanyuan was still looking forward to this trip to Continent O. After all, she had only seen the customs and cultures of that different region on television and on the map. In her previous life, she had never even left the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, let alone to such a distant place.
“Mommy, do you know what day it is tomorrow?” Xiao Bao, who had finally completed his study mission, went into the house to look for Xia Wanyuan as usual and accurately pounced into her arms.
“What day is it?” Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow and pretended to be confused.
“Tomorrow is my day.” Xiao Bao’s chubby face rubbed against Xia Wanyuan’s palm. “Mommy, can I receive a gift tomorrow?”
“Of course.” Xia Wanyuan pinched Xiao Bao’s face and stroked his hair.
After receiving Xia Wanyuan’s affirmative answer, Xiao Bao was overjoyed. He ran to Jun Shiling smugly and said, “Daddy, I have a gift that Mommy prepared for me!”
Jun Shiling: The final countdown for quality education begins.
The next day, on Children’s Day, Xiao Bao received the Gundam model he had been longing for. He was so happy that he gloated in front of Jun Shiling for a long time. “Hmph, bad Daddy, you don’t allow me to buy it, but my Mommy will give it to me!”
However, the next second, when he saw the plane Jun Shiling had given him, Xiao Bao’s smugness immediately turned into a fawning “Daddy, I knew you were the best!!”
With the long-awaited gift, Xiao Bao became much easier to talk to about Xia Wanyuan leaving the manor for a few days. He did not cry or kick up a fuss and obediently followed Uncle Liu to the courtyard to look for Great-grandfather.
——
The distance from China to Continent O was still very far. Even with the speed of the plane, it would take more than ten hours. Xia Wanyuan leaned against the window and looked at the clouds outside.
A small box was suddenly handed to her.
Xia Wanyuan took the box. Inside was a very exquisite necklace.
“Happy Children’s Day.” Jun Shiling smiled at Xia Wanyuan.
“I’m not a child. Why do I have a Children’s Day gift?” Xia Wanyuan took out the necklace. Jun Shiling took it and helped her wear it.
“You’re a child. A child should have a gift.” Jun Shiling opened his arms and hugged Xia Wanyuan.
“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan stroked the necklace around her neck. It was beautiful, and she liked it very much.
“Just one thank you?” Jun Shiling’s tone rose.
Xia Wanyuan looked up and kissed Jun Shiling on the cheek.
“I like this gift very much.” A smile appeared in Jun Shiling’s eyes. “Sleep for a while. It’s been too long. I’ll call you when we eat.”
Although Jun Shiling had accompanied Xia Wanyuan to Continent O, he was much busier than her.
The Jun Corporation also had a large market share in Continent O. With Jun Shiling’s arrival, the management of Continent O seemed to have found their backbone and wished they could block Jun Shiling in the meeting room 24 hours a day.
Xia Wanyuan seemed much more relaxed. The hotel they were staying in was very close to Olly’s most famous music school, so Xia Wanyuan went to the school to take a walk.
This music school had a long history, so it retained many medieval architectural styles in Continent O. High Gothic buildings, relief sculptures that could be seen everywhere, and pure white marble churches.
Xia Wanyuan strolled around and felt that although this foreign style was different from China’s style, it had its own unique charm.
In the Music Academy, the beautiful sound of students practicing their instruments could be heard everywhere.
Xia Wanyuan could tell that these instruments were different from the ancient zither she had practiced, but they were still very pleasant to listen to. She followed the winding path and looked at the sculptures on the side of the road. Unknowingly, Xia Wanyuan walked into a pure white church.
There was no one in the church. A casually-dressed, white-haired old man was frowning as he sat in front of a piano and played an especially pleasant song.
Xia Wanyuan was momentarily attracted by the melody. She sat on a chair and listened quietly.
Xia Wanyuan did not know how to play the piano, but that did not stop her from knowing the quality of the music. The tune played by this old man in front of her was truly a top-notch piece.
Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes and felt it. However, when it reached the second half of the melody, it began to become obscure and even stuck in one place. The old man had tried many times, as if he was trying to figure out how to smooth this transition.
However, the old man played it more than ten times. This small segment was still very abrupt.
Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and hummed a tune that the old man had just played, filling in a part that the old man could not cross.
The old man in front of the piano was originally at a loss. When he suddenly heard this humming, his eyes lit up. He immediately turned around and saw an extremely beautiful Asian woman.
According to Xia Wanyuan’s humming tone, the old man played the melody on the piano. As expected, there was no longer that disharmony and abruptness.
After finally resolving his trouble for many days, the old man was immersed in the joy of finally completing a piano song. He could not help but play the song three times from beginning to end before he finally revealed a satisfied smile.
By the time he remembered to thank this Asian woman, the church was empty.
The old man was a little dazed. Was there really someone sitting here just now, or was he hallucinating?
That night, the world-class music master released his closing work.
When asked how he had composed such a great song, the master pressed his palms together.
“I’m grateful to God for sending Goddess Muse to give me guidance.”
