Chapter 369


    "Thank you." Shi Jin did not pay attention to Sheng Tian ying the piano earlier, so she could not


    return thepliment.


    Fu Xiuyuan walked towards Shi Jin.


    Sheng Tian watched him walk to Shi Jin''s side and hold her hand naturally. As a fan, his heart was


    broken.


    However, because Shi Jin had given everyone many hints on Weibo and in interviews, Sheng Tian''s


    mouth slowly closed.


    He raised his head to look at Fu Xiuyuan again. Fu Xiuyuan looked exceptionally handsome and


    was trulypatible with Shi Jin. Only then did his shattered heart gradually gather together.


    "Are you done chatting?" Fu Xiuyuan asked, his voice elegant.


    The invisible aura was very strong, and it was hard to resist.


    Sheng Tian quickly said, "I won''t disturb you any longer, I''ll leave first."


    He turned his head and could not help but sigh secretly. The person Shi Jin had chosen indeed had


    the ability to make Shi Jin say he was "the warm sun in the winter". No one in the entertainment


    industry couldpare to him. No one in any industry could.


    "The scores will be given to each contestantter. The big screen in the foyer will also show the


    scores of each contestant," Fu Heyan said. "Why don''t we go and eat hotpot? I brought hotpot soup


    base. We just need to buy some ingredients."


    Yao Jiahong''s face twitched. "Shi Jin still needs to..."


    "Sure." Shi Jin had already agreed.


    "Come, let''s go buy food." Fu Heyan immediately grabbed Shi Jin''s arm, leaving Fu Xiuyuan behind.


    Yao Jiahong had no choice but to ept this.


    Shi Xuexin was still waiting outside the arena. She did not see Shi Jin andpany leaving through


    the other passageway, but she did see a familiar face.


    "Sheng Tian!" Shi Xuexin quickly greeted him. She had been in fourth ce in the preliminary round


    and had had some interactions with first ce.


    Sheng Tian recognized her. "Shi Xuexin, you''re here to watch thepetition too?"


    "Yes, I''m here to watch thepetition and to check out the venue."


    "Oh, you have an originalpositionpetition to attend." Sheng Tian smiled and said, "Good


    luck then."


    "I will. Sheng Tian, how was yourpetition?"


    Sheng Tian thought of Shi Jin. When he was performing, he knew that there was a huge gap


    between him and Shi Jin.


    It might not be a problem for him to enter the finals, but it would be difficult for him to win an award.


    Only those who had seen stronger people would know the difference.


    "The results of thispetition will be good," Sheng Tian said. After all, Shi Jin was from the same


    country as him.


    If she won an award, it would be equivalent to him winning an award.


    The scores were out very quickly.


    The big screen in the foyer also showed the scores.


    Shi Xuexin rushed over to take a look.


    Sheng Tian was ranked tenth. The second and third ce ces from the preliminary round were


    all beyond 20th ce.


    The other names were all long English letters.


    Shi Xuexin shifted her gaze to the first position.


    She saw the name on the first ce position: Jade.


    It was a name that Shi Xuexin did not recognize and did not care about. She did not know which


    country they were from.


    She didn''t think much of it and called Chu Ling. "Brother Chu Ling, I''ll be back tomorrow."


    "Come back," Chu Ling said lightly.


    The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became softer. "Xuexin,e home for dinner."


    It was Madam Chu''s voice. She had snatched the phone away from Chu Ling.


    Ever since Xuexin won fourth ce in the pianopetition, Madam Chu''s attitude towards her had


    changed drastically. She did not even care about the incident at the birthday party anymore.


    "Alright, Auntie," Shi Xuexin said happily.


    ?k-k-k


    At night, Shi Jin and Fu Heyan bought the ingredients and brought them back to the vi. Everyone


    gathered around to eat hotpot.


    To Fu Heyan and Song Huaixian, it was expected that Shi Jin would get first ce in the semi-


    finals.


    Back then, she had won over the two of them with just one song, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", so


    when she yed a famous Chopin piece, she naturally won over all the judges.


    "These are the must-pick songs for the finals. Pick one from the list." Song Huaixian sent the list to


    Shi Jin.


    Shi Jin received it and saved the list.


    Fu Heyan stuffed the chopsticks in her hands. "Can we not dampen the mood during dinner?"


    Song Huaixian smiled. "Then let''s congratte Shi Jin for getting first ce in the semi-finals."


    "Congrattions!" Everyone picked up their beers.


    "Thank you Shi Jin clinked sses with them.


    Fu Xiuyuan said softly to Shi Jin, "This is why I followed you here. I knew you would stay here for a


    long time."


    From the beginning to the end, he was the one who trusted her the most.


    Seeing the two of them whispering into each other''s ears, Fu Heyan coughed lightly. "The meat is


    almost overdone!"


    Yao Jiahong watched as Shi Jin ced her chopsticks into the boiling hotpot that was covered in oil.


    His heart was in his throat, but he could not stop her in public.


    At the thought that her sweet voice might be affected, Yao Jiahong was in a dilemma. In the end, he


    pushed the chrysanthemum wolf berry tea to Shi Jin.


    Fu Xiuyuan looked up and nced at him indifferently. Yao Jiahong quickly retracted his hand.


    Fu Xiuyuan mixed the condiments in his bowl unhurriedly. Finally, he prepared the mildly spicy


    dipping sauce and ced it in front of Shi Jin. He picked up a piece offender beef and ced it into


    her bowl.


    Yao Jiahong was heartbroken.


    He picked up the cup of tea and pushed it in Shi Jin''s direction.


    Fu Xiuyuan said, "Sis, Brother Yao wants to give you tea."

    "Thank you." Fu Heyan ate something spicy, so at the mention of water, she took it immediately.


    Because Yao Jiahong poured the water into a cup, Fu Heyan thought that it was for her, so she took


    a sip, then she frowned and said, "Who drinks hot tea in the middle of summer? Wait, I''ll go get the


    c!"


    Yao Jiahong was speechless.


    Yao Jiahong said, "Shi Jin needs to protect her singing voice."


    "I eat herbs to nourish my throat," Shi Jin said simply.


    Of course, she had said this countless times, but Yao Jiahong refused to believe her.


    Fu Xiuyuan was the only one who had heard it once and never stopped her from eating hotpot and


    drinking coke again.


    When Shi Jin was almost done eating, Gu Jingyuan sent a message. "Congrattions, you got first


    ce in the semi-finals. How many people made it into the finals?"


    "Top twelve. How did you know I came to Warsaw?" "1 guessed it when I saw the name of the first


    ce winner. Didn''t you mention that you wanted to participate in a pianopetition previously?"


    As for why he saw the name of the first ce winner, it was all thanks to Shi Xuexin.


    Shi Xuexin had onlye to watch apetition, but she had already made everyone aware of her


    fourth ce result in the preliminaries.


    Not only did she share everything that happened outside the stage today, but she also gave


    everyone a brief overview of the various aspects of the Chopin International Piano Competition to


    prove that she was talented.


    People who knew what was going on knew that she was just going to watch thepetition and


    tour the city. Those who didn''t know better would think that she had gotten a trophy with how big of


    a deal she was making.


    It was because she was making such a big deal out of everything that she gained countless fans.
