The female host on stage announced, "Next, we have Ning Wan and the renowned Piano Prince Lu Jinyan performing the final piece—Chopin’s Piano Concerto in E Minor."

The audience responded with thunderous applause.

It was evident that everyone was eagerly awaiting this finale.

At this moment, the female host continued, "This is a piece with exceptionally dazzling technique, with vivid musical imagery, rich contrasts in color, and dynamic symphonic development. Especially in the first movement, which utilizes the dual exposition structure of a classical concerto, the solemn introduction is played by the orchestra..."

This piece has been performed by many world-renowned piano masters, but what makes this performance by Ning Wan different is its piano duet format with Lu Jinyan. It promises to offer everyone a unique auditory experience..."

After the female host finished announcing, she slowly exited the stage.

And at that moment, Lu Jinyan in a black tailcoat and Ning Wan in a dark blue gown almost walked onto the stage shoulder to shoulder.

The audience beneath the stage was in a frenzy.

"Oh my god, they look so perfect together—the guy is handsome, the girl is beautiful, and both have such great charisma. They are truly a perfect pair!"

"They are my favorite duo! I only have videos of them playing four-hand music together during their student days, and this is the first time I’m seeing them perform live on stage. It’s amazing!"

One must admit, the audience wasn’t exaggerating.

Even Wen Duoduo, at a glance, thought they were a match made in heaven.

One tall and elegant, handsome and charming; the other graceful with poise, gentle and dignified. Standing on stage, they painted a picture of beauty...

Wen Duoduo watched this scene, and her heart involuntarily tightened.

Beside her were Song Yinyin and Song Dabai, mother and son.

Noticing Wen Duoduo biting her lip as if she were very nervous, Song Yinyin gently grasped her small hand.

"Don’t be nervous. They’re just colleagues."

"I know."

"Then relax; don’t keep your face so tense."

"..."

Wen Duoduo took a deep breath and silently nodded.

The sound of the piano poured out from two opposing piano stands, melodious and flowing, from the gentle and steady beginning to the majestic and grand later sections, gradually speeding up.

From start to finish, the two were seamlessly in harmony.

Until the last note ended, people hadn’t recovered, seemingly still immersed in the music...

It wasn’t until Lu Jinyan and Ning Wan stood up to take a bow that people regained their senses and applauded.

Some even started to shout and chant, "Encore! Encore! Encore..."

The audience below the stage began to clap and shout in unison, "Encore! Encore! Encore..."

Strong and synchronized applause and cheers surged through the hall like waves.

Listening to the waves of cheers, Wen Duoduo’s heart tightened again, her gaze firmly locked onto the pair on stage.

Suddenly, the spotlight equipment above them malfunctioned, sparking.

A burst of popping sounds followed.

A lighting fixture directly above Lu Jinyan’s head made a loud ’clang’ and shook violently...

Someone exclaimed, "Oh my god, that thing is going to fall!"

Following the direction of the person’s finger, Wen Duoduo’s gaze landed on the precarious lighting fixture, and her heart skipped a beat.
