248: Chapter 247: Bizarre 248: Chapter 247: Bizarre Liu Hun slowly walked to the piano, then slowly sat down. Everyone’s eyes were nailed on him like tacks, no one knowing how well Liu Hun could play “La Vie en rose” after having listened to it only once, especially since it was a tune Lv Zhengsong created himself. Xiao Yanzhu was tightly pinching her index finger, almost as if she were about to pull it out like a radish, unsure how she might save face for Liu Hun later on. Lv Zhengsong had a wicked smile on his face. While gazing at Liu Hun, he also shot occasional glances at Li Qianqing, already fantasizing about Li Qianqing asking him out to book a room later. Li Qianqing stood quietly to the side, her gaze on Liu Hun was like a speck of dust, barely revealing the level of her attention, but only she herself knew how formidable the man before her truly was! I can’t sense any hint of superpower radiating from him! Could it be he isn’t using a superpower and his piano skills are truly exceptional? I find it hard to believe. Liu Hun, just start playing, “La Vie en rose” will definitely reveal some issues! Li Qianqing thought in her mind, full of anticipation for this man. The setting sun cast its last rays perfectly onto Liu Hun, as if a spotlight specifically for him had been turned on. The entire venue was as quiet as seeds buried in the ground, waiting for the sudden burst of dazzling brilliance! Liu Hun’s profile, bathed in the afterglow, displayed a sharp contrast of light and shadow. He slowly extended his left hand to the piano keys, his fingers lightly dancing, and the melody of “La Vie en rose” unraveled gently into the air, like spinning silk from a cocoon. “Fa-so-la-si-do...” The melody progressed layer by layer, like dipping feet into a mountain stream, a shiver running through the body followed by a wave of complete comfort and joy. Suddenly, the melody shifted, from soft to cheerful, the tune hopping into everyone’s ears like a grasshopper, leaving them as joyous as a cowherd boy who had forgotten all worries, tumbling in the grasslands of spring. “La Vie en rose” twisted and turned in a hundred ways; when Lv Zhengsong played, it was merely fluent, but under Liu Hun’s fingers, it became a winding mountain road with eighteen turns, a rose blooming and wilting. The undulations of life were all captured in the music—this was the work of a true master! Once Liu Hun finished the piece, everyone below the stage was as though hypnotized, some crying, some laughing, some joyful, some sorrowful, as if each found their own life story through “La Vie en rose.” “My God!” Suddenly, some killjoy cried out, completely destroying the immersion in the musical afterglow of the crowd. Just as people were sending him glares of anger and contempt, he heedlessly called out again, “Mr. Liu played ‘La Vie en rose’ with only his left hand after listening to it just once!” After this shout, regardless of what expressions people wore a second before, they now all switched to utter shock! Never seen a piano! The rival is a piano master! Only heard the piece once! Only used the left hand! And still achieved such mastery! All these factors, like bricks, built up to one name in everyone’s minds—Mr. Liu! “Mr. Liu! Mr. Liu! Mr. Liu!” All the students chanted in unison, releasing all their excitement and exhilaration. This time, there was no need for Li Qianqing’s commentary; even the most piano-illiterate layperson could tell Liu Hun’s victory was a total crush! Flawless! The collective shouts were like slaps on Lv Zhengsong’s face, flushing his dead-looking face beet red, and he skulked away like a defeated grey mouse, with the fancy car and the piano he brought to show off becoming the stage for Liu Hun’s performance. Standing to the side, Xiao Yanzhu’s heart was pounding like a wild rabbit’s, overwhelmed by the surrounding cheers and the smiling face in the sunlight. She took a deep breath, suddenly threw herself onto Liu Hun, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, and gently asked by his ear like a warm breeze, “Do you hear what they’re shouting?” “Mr.?” Liu Hun was a bit dazed by Xiao Yanzhu’s sudden action, and even more confused by the students’ shouting; he thought shouting Liu Hun had quite a ring to it. Xiao Yanzhu took a deep breath, her eyes narrowing slightly as if zeroing in on her own happiness, and softly said to Liu Hun, “With the talent that orchestrates like the weft and warp, with the breadth of knowledge like the expounded doctrines. We call such a person ‘Mr.’ He who my heart belongs to, is also thus called... ‘Mr.'” Below, the students watched Lv Zhengsong scuttle away like a dog digging a hole, and seeing Xiao Yanzhu throwing herself into his embrace, they immediately began to chant loudly, “Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!” Xiao Yanzhu’s literate phrase just now was almost unintelligible to Liu Hun, but the shouts of the students were clear to him. Bathed in the glow of the sunset and roses, amidst the envious cheers of countless students, and under the influence of Liu Hun’s pheromones, Xiao Yanzhu had completely melted... Liu Hun and Xiao Yanzhu almost left Imperial University surrounded by a large group of students, and Li Qianqing, whom he had been watching, disappeared into the crowd the moment Xiao Yanzhu threw herself at him. After Liu Hun dropped Xiao Yanzhu home... there was no “after.” Of course, it wasn’t that Xiao Yanzhu, a woman as tender as a huge cotton candy, wasn’t attractive; rather, he truly did not understand what she had said while embracing him. The most important reason was that he had to find Li Qianqing! Liu Hun had always wanted to open the door to the world of Superpower Users. He was very curious, too curious about what kind of world lay behind that door and how many individuals with superpowers like him existed. Could these abilities be used to do more and better things? Li Qianqing was the thread leading to all this, and by following her, he could find more clues. Liu Hun didn’t have time to ponder why Xiao Yanzhu looked so uncomfortable and unwilling when he left; he had to find Li Qianqing now. After returning to Imperial University, Liu Hun went straight to the Music College. Since Li Qianqing was a celebrity there, he easily paid a student a thousand yuan to get Li Qianqing’s address and contact number. Liu Hun intended to call Li Qianqing to arrange a meeting, but no one answered the phone, so he had a bad feeling and decided to head straight to her place. On the eleventh floor of Hong Jie Garden, Liu Hun stood at the door of number Six and, after double-checking the address, was about to ring the doorbell when he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance. This scent made his head feel heavy and dizzy... Something was wrong! Liu Hun suddenly snapped to his senses, Dragon Eye ready, and forcefully pushed open the door to Li Qianqing’s home as if it wasn’t locked. Whoosh! A strong wave of odd fragrance hit him full force. Liu Hun felt like he had dived headlong into a bed of flowers, the scent so intense that even his vision was affected, yet he could still see clearly that a man holding a bouquet of colorful flowers stood in Li Qianqing’s living room. Clearly, none of this was normal, including the ferocious smile on the man’s face. “You’ve got some skill with locks. Try this!” the man said, picking up a tulip and crushing it in his hand. Something eerie happened. Liu Hun watched as the tulip in the man’s hand... turned into a puff of red smoke which, as if with eyes, started to drift rapidly toward him. Invisible attacks were the most terrifying and hardest to dodge. The strong scent of the tulip had just floated into Liu Hun’s nostrils when his mind suddenly conjured an image of himself lying comfortably in bed. The sensation made him want to fall asleep, and he couldn’t help but slowly close his eyes... Open your eyes! Move! Strike! Liu Hun, who had nearly passed out, suddenly snapped back to alertness. Acting a split second later, he caught the bizarre man holding the flowers. “How did you do that? You don’t have the aura of a Superpower User!” the strange man stared at Liu Hun, his eyes betraying a rare panic. Did the little chick he was holding have the right to ask questions? Clearly not. Liu Hun, face cold, said to the strange man, “I ask, you answer! First, who are you?” The panic in the strange man’s eyes suddenly turned to mockery. He opened his mouth in a clown-like grin and said to Liu Hun, “Guess!” “I’m not a patient person!” Liu Hun said, and with a forceful squeeze, tightened his grip on the strange man’s neck. “Whooosh!” The strange man, just like the tulip from before, dissipated under Liu Hun’s squeeze... just like a puff of smoke—gone! Liu Hun was stunned for a few seconds. He had clearly felt the warmth of the man’s skin and even the pulse of his arteries. Why... “Crash!” The window suddenly opened by itself, and the smoke in the room gathered at the opening. Within a few mere seconds, the man holding flowers reappeared by the window. “I’ll remember you. We’ll meet again if fate wills it!” the strange man smiled at Liu Hun, then dispersed into a wisp of smoke and vanished at the window. Liu Hun rushed over and peered down from the window. Below the eleven-story building, people bustled and cars streamed by, but not a trace of a person could be seen. Dragon Eye! X-ray vision! Activate! Liu Hun was not willing to let the fellow slip away that easily. His penetrating gaze swept open, and in a corner, he saw what he wanted to see. After returning to the room, Liu Hun carefully searched every corner but found no trace of Li Qianqing, nor did he discover anything of interest. Where had Li Qianqing gone, what exactly was that man doing in her room, had he found anything, was the bat man who attacked her during the public car explosion related to this man? Too many questions swirled in Liu Hun’s mind, all of which needed Li Qianqing to provide an answer.
