Chapter 75: Four-Hand Duet
So sweet.
The Lin Xiaocan in front of me blinked her big, bright eyes and let out a sound like a nightingale.
"Xiaoxiao is really so beautiful, a 360-degree flawless beauty~"
"My sweet song princess is right in front of me, I'm really so happy!"
"Look at Xiaoxiao, even drinking milk tea is so sweet~"
The surrounding voices chirped, encircling Shen Jingqi and Lin Xiaocan.
"It's almost 2 o'clock, we should head back to the hospital."
Shen Jingqi checked the time.
"I'm not going, I'm not Li Baiyu."
Lin Xiaocan suddenly got up and walked out.
The fans around quickly got up to follow.
"Xiaoxiao, can you give me a signature?"
"Xiaoxiao, I want to take a photo with you~"
"Sure. Come on~"
Lin Xiaocan kindly signed autographs and took photos~
No one organized it, the fans spontaneously lined up.
The quality of Shen University's people is pretty high~
Shen Jingqi sighed.
"I want a photo with the pretty sister too!"
A little boy with a lollipop ran over, his mom following behind.
"Sister, I'm giving you this lollipop. It's my favorite, with a superhero's image on it!"
The little boy held up the lollipop and handed it to Lin Xiaocan.
"Thank you, wow, so cute~ Let's take a picture together!"
Lin Xiaocan held the lollipop, squatted down, and took a photo with the little boy.
"It's really you, Xiaoxiao, I really like you too. My son is your fan; every time he sees your videos online, he's totally absorbed!"
"Thank you for liking me~"
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaocan has so many fans, and her popularity with passersby is great.
Even the guard at the door was standing on tiptoe, looking over here.
And the waiters from various restaurants were all leaning against the windows, watching Lin Xiaocan.
"This Xiaoxiao seems to be my daughter's idol. If I can get an autograph for her, she would be thrilled. I'd have a reason to ask her to do her homework."
"Then you should go quickly; I'll help you with the customer's orders."
Watching Lin Xiaocan interact genuinely with her fans, Shen Jingqi didn't interrupt.
Checking his phone, Dean Zhang didn't hurry him either.
When the queue finally reached the end, Shen Jingqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Important signatures were done; now they could leave, right?
But most fans around were still watching, unwilling to disperse.
For them, seeing their favorite singer up close was no small feat.
"Thanks for your enthusiasm, I'll play a song for you all."
Lin Xiaocan turned and grabbed Shen Jingqi's hand.
Shen Jingqi, dazed, was pulled to the piano by Lin Xiaocan.
"Your arrangement last time was great, let's play a piece together."
"What to play?"
"Impromptu."
Impromptu four-hand duet.
Shen Jingqi and Lin Xiaocan sat side by side; Lin Xiaocan's hand on the keyboard, a delightful solo began.
Shen Jingqi quickly extracted the chords and rhythm, placed his hands on the piano's left side, and began accompanying Lin Xiaocan.
The two quickly coordinated seamlessly.
Four hands flew over the piano, sometimes lightly and elegantly, sometimes powerfully and forcefully.
The melody was like the tinkling of spring water, or the cascading of precious jade from Heavenly Lake.
The accompaniment tightly adhered to the melody, intertwined like a rainbow seamlessly completed.
Shen Jingqi could instantly sense Lin Xiaocan's intent, his hands synchronizing to play harmonious notes.
Both felt a connection, cheering each other on.
The surrounding people raised their phones to record.
As the piece ended, Shen Jingqi and Lin Xiaocan felt a collision and fusion of their souls.
"So beautiful!"
"It was really wonderful!"
"Xiaoxiao, is this handsome guy your boyfriend? You're beautiful, he's handsome, you're a perfect match!"
"Exactly, Xiaoxiao, haven't you posted updates for a while; are you busy dating?"
"Xiaoxiao, are you out on the town with your boyfriend this time?"
"Xiaoxiao, are you announcing your relationship?"
The surrounding got noisy again.
"Xiaoxiao, I love you; you can't be with anyone else."
A guy shouted.
"What right do you have to interfere with Xiaoxiao's affairs? Xiaoxiao doesn't even know who you are!"
A girl retorted.
"I love Xiaoxiao, and since she released her first song, I've been following her. I'm her senior fan; for five years, I've been paying attention to her daily; of course, I love her!"
The guy shouted, trying to lunge at Lin Xiaocan.
Shen Jingqi took out a metal pen from his pocket, holding it up in front of the guy's eyes.
A flash of light flickered on the pen's body.
The guy hesitated for a moment.
Shen Jingqi gently waved the pen.
Left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Right!
The guy's gaze began to daze gradually.
His body started to soften.
Shen Jingqi pulled over a nearby chair, placing the guy's body on it.
"We need to go quickly; he'll wake up soon!"
Shen Jingqi dragged Lin Xiaocan, heading to the cafeteria elevator.
Just as an elevator arrived, the two entered, slowly departing the restaurant.
"So magical! What did you just do?"
Lin Xiaocan held onto Shen Jingqi's arm.
"Just a simple hypnosis."
"Is that pen of yours special?"
"Yes, this pen is one I designed myself for quick and effective hypnosis."
Using this pen requires focused and Spiritual Power, being one of Shen Jingqi's exclusive tools.
"We need to exit from the west gate. I asked Uncle Li to pick us up."
Shen Jingqi walked with Lin Xiaocan towards the west gate.
Lin Xiaocan suddenly let go of Shen Jingqi's arm and ran in another direction.
"Where are you going?"
Shen Jingqi chased after her, exerting himself.
"Anywhere is fine, just avoid that weirdo!"
Lin Xiaocan ran swiftly, her long legs galloping on the ground, in a blink, she was far away.
Shen Jingqi hurriedly accelerated the chase.
Fortunately, he exercised every day, running without losing breath, but matching Lin Xiaocan's pace wasn't easy.
Lin Xiaocan, being a singer, might have a great lung capacity.
Shen Jingqi watched Lin Xiaocan run towards Shen University's east gate.
If Lin Xiaocan ran out the gate, outside was bustling with people and traffic; catching up to her would be difficult.
Shen Jingqi sprinted faster.
He saw Lin Xiaocan at the entrance, after scanning her face, the gate automatically opened.
Simultaneously, Shen Jingqi scanned his face and exited.
Lin Xiaocan stood at the intersection waving her hand, soon a vacant taxi stopped.
Lin Xiaocan got in, leaving Shen Jingqi watching the taxi drive off.
Just as Shen Jingqi was anxious, a familiar car pulled over.
"Uncle Li!"
Soon, the car stopped at the intersection.
This intersection was where, last time, he and Uncle Li stopped at a red light and saw a woman crossing and chasing them.
