Lin Chen looked extremely handsome now, dressed in a crisp suit. His handsome face carried a hint of world-weariness, holding a glass of freshly poured red wine, gently swaying it, with deep eyes fixed on Su Meier.

For women, this kind of cool demeanor is highly lethal.

At this moment, Bai Ying was furious beyond measure. It was unbearable for him because Lin Chen had made him lose face in front of his favorite woman.

"Kid, you dare say my music performance is terrible?" Bai Ying approached Lin Chen with a cold gaze, full of anger.

"Yeah, you're too arrogant, the music performed by Young Master Ying was so nice, yet you dared to slander him."

"I think this kid is just jealous of Young Master Ying's musical talent, that's why he's trying to gain attention."

Lin Chen shook his head, "Why are you still dissatisfied? You played nothing but trivial tunes. As for finger skills, musical rhythm control, and speed of the tune, I guess you've been exposed to music for just over a month, and yet dare to embarrass yourself here."

"You!" Bai Ying was at a loss for words after hearing Lin Chen's remarks.

Just as Lin Chen said, Bai Ying had apprenticed to a master musician a month ago to learn piano, and he had specially practiced this piece to pursue Su Meier, but unexpectedly, Lin Chen's comments hit the mark.

Su Meier's eyes brightened upon hearing Lin Chen, and she stood up from the rose chair, walking up to Lin Chen.

"Handsome, have we met before?" Su Meier asked with a cheerful smile.

"Sorry, I don't recall." Lin Chen replied indifferently.

Whoa!

Everyone present was stunned immediately.

Is this kid crazy? Su Meier took the initiative to chat with him, yet he actively rejected her.

Every man present wished for such an opportunity.

Su Meier had wealth, looks, and charm, countless young masters in Nether City yearned to know this woman, and now, Lin Chen had actively kept such an opportunity at a distance.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's answer, Su Meier paused, then her smile widened, "Yesterday during my morning run, a venomous snake attacked me, and you saved me."

Lin Chen nodded, "Oh, it's you. Though at that time, I was focused on shooting the snake and didn't notice you."

Wow, that was a harsh remark.

Such a stunning beauty in front of you, yet you notice the snake and not the beauty. Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?

The people present were maddened by this ostentatious kid.

Su Meier smiled softly and said to the others, "Everyone, I'm closing early today to entertain my savior. Please leave."

At this moment, Bai Ying was nearly faint with rage; his month-long effort of practicing piano had been ruined by this kid, and more infuriating was this guy stealing the woman he dreamed of.

"Kid, you say my music is trash, if you've got the skills, play a piece for us." Bai Ying demanded defiantly.

"Yeah, if you've got the skills, play a piece!"

"Hmph, I think this kid is all talk, no practice."

Everyone was filled with indignation towards this mysterious guy.

They had all tried hard to win Su Meier's favor, but she didn't even glance at them. Yet Lin Chen, who did almost nothing, got a chance to be alone with Su Meier.

Hearing the crowd's shouts, Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Alright, if you want to hear, I'll play you a piece."

Saying so, Lin Chen walked slowly to the instrument.

This instrument was different from a regular piano; it was in the shape of a guqin, somewhat similar to a pipa.

However, with the handsome chops, Lin Chen placed his hand on the strings and was intimately familiar with this guqin.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Listen carefully, this is how it's played."

Saying this, Lin Chen moved his fingers, and a wonderful melody flowed gently from his fingertips.

This piece was composed by a master musician from another dimension, therefore Su Meier had not heard it before.

The music carried traces of sadness, melancholy, and strong yearning...

Su Meier closed her eyes and listened to this heavenly sound from another realm.

Those playboys had thought Lin Chen was merely boasting; no one expected him to play such beautiful music, and thus, they all ceased their noise, indulging in the beautiful melody.

This piece expressed longing for a lover. Now Lin Chen was in a foreign land, he missed several girls from China deeply and infused this yearning in the melody, adding even more charm to the melancholic music.

However, everyone present was entranced by this beautiful music, even Lin Chen himself was completely immersed in the enchanting melody.

Listening to this melodious tune, Su Meier was completely captivated by the beautiful sound.

Su Meier had heard many beautiful melodies, but she swore this was the best guqin music she had ever heard.

At this moment, she was completely immersed in the music, perhaps reminded of some sad past, a tear slid down her cheek.

Once the performance ended, there was no applause, no praise.

Lin Chen was momentarily stunned before turning around, only to see Su Meier wiping tears with a handkerchief.

Others also showed various expressions, still deeply absorbed in the recent melody.

A moment later, everyone returned from the melancholic music, and thunderous applause erupted.

This is what music is; only that which touches the heart can be called music, and Lin Chen had accomplished this.

If the earlier applause for Bai Ying was insincere, now, both the playboys and the staff in the music pavilion applauded from the heart.

Once the piece was played, Lin Chen stood up and walked out.

"Sir, please wait."

Just as Lin Chen expected, Su Meier indeed called out to him.

Lin Chen stopped but didn't even turn his head, "Anything the matter?"

Su Meier excitedly said, "Sir, your performance was incredible. Could you play another piece for me?"

"Sorry, no time." Lin Chen replied coolly.

Hearing Su Meier's request being denied, everyone present was stunned.

In Nether City, who dared refuse Su Meier's requests?

"This kid is dead meat."

"Daring to refuse Su Meier, this kid is asking for death."

Everyone thought Lin Chen was surely doomed for stirring up trouble.

However, to everyone's surprise, Su Meier was not angry, her voice carried a tender pleading note.

"If the sir is busy, I'm willing to wait. Could you give me a contact method?"

Whoa, everyone present was dumbfounded; this was beyond their understanding.

The queen-like Su Meier had such a girlish side, unexpectedly for this very man.

This time, Lin Chen finally did not refuse, taking out a communication stone, imbuing it with a hint of spiritual thought, he tossed it to Su Meier, then directly left the music pavilion.

Watching his disappearing figure, Su Meier bit her silver teeth, "Handsome, just wait. You're mine, and I'll definitely bring you to my side."
