257 Hope And Future

When the thought arose, Yun Yiheng immediately abolished it.

Although he approved of his cousin and aunt, it didn’t mean that he approved of Anonymous.

No matter the reason, Qing Dai disappeared due to Anonymous’s suppression. So, he wanted to stand up for Qing Dai.

Yun Yiheng inhaled deeply and lowered his head as he continued to look at the music score.

After a while, his phone rang. He cast a look at his phone in annoyance, but upon seeing the content of the text, he immediately cursed ‘F*ck!’ and rushed out.

Shen Ruojing just stepped out of her room and was preparing to head down to look for Chu Tianye and Chuyu. The two fellows were currently playing with Matriarch Chu downstairs. But she didn’t expect to run into Yun Yiheng, and the two of them almost collided.

She lifted her brows and stepped to the side.

She then saw Yun Yiheng stopping and looking at her. Because he had been burning the midnight oil, he had heavy eyebags and bloodshot eyes. His emotions also seemed very agitated. But even so, he suppressed his anger as he asked, “Do you also feel that folk music is increasingly inferior to the orchestra?!”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

She was planning to say something, but Yun Yiheng interrupted her with a laugh. “You would naturally feel this way because Anonymous is a representative of orchestra…”

After saying that, he didn’t give Shen Ruojing time to talk and directly rushed out.

Shen Ruojing. “…”

Her mouth opened and closed as she stared at Yun Yiheng’s back. She then narrowed her eyes slightly.

She didn’t want to be a busybody, so she slowly went down and sipped her tea while sitting on the sofa, watching Matriarch Chu and the two children playing.

The mist from the tea slowly rose in spirals. But after drinking two sips, she suddenly sighed and placed the teacup on the table. She then spoke to Matriarch Chu, “I’m heading out for a while.”

Ford City Music Academy.

Yun Yiheng drove and directly headed for the school’s car park.

After parking his car, he jumped out and rushed into a building.

When he arrived at the place where his music group gathered, he saw everyone in the group carrying their instruments and preparing to head down.

Yun Yiheng stopped them immediately. “Where are you guys going?”

They had five people in their band.

The other four consisted of three males and one female. A plump male replied with a complicated expression, “Yun Yiheng, we are giving up.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Yiheng shouted in anger, “We have been in the group for so long and everyone has cooperated so well. Why do you all want to give up?!”

“Because our band will never get the core position or even the best timing arrangements!” The people of the band were also very vexed, so they directly said the truth, “We chose to learn instruments because we wish to stand out in the future. However, folk music basically has no way to draw the crowd in this era! In school, we never have a chance to go out and perform!”

Fatty sighed. “Do you know who will come to the music competition this time? The old master from the Shen Family of the capital! He loves music and any band that catches his eye will have a chance to perform at the Vienna Music Hall!”

Vienna Music Hall was a top-level concert hall in China, and those who could perform there were all famous international musicians.

So, being able to perform there was the lifelong dream of these music students!

From the past until now, only very few students had been invited to perform there. And this time around, the Old Master of the Shen Family was coming to give them the chance!

Hence, everyone was doing their best, wanting to enter his sight.

Yun Yiheng continued, “I know your thoughts, but we have to believe that our band can get the number one position!”

“Number one? Based on what? Based on the [Coldness of Plum Blossoms] that you are still researching?!”

“Yun Yiheng, it’s difficult for our folk music to stand out. Nowadays, the bands can be mixed, having both western and eastern elements. So, can you not be so stubborn? In our entire school, we are the only pure folk music band!”

Yun Yiheng counter-asked, “Yes, the majority of bands in our school have mixed elements consisting of orchestra music and folk music, combining the two. But let me ask you this, have you seen any bands that focus on folk music? Could it be that we, who are keen on learning folk music, are always fated to be the foil for orchestra music? In our band, at least I can guarantee that what we focused on is folk music! We will be the flowers and not the green leaves that serve as a foil!”

Right now, the majority of the bands in school would use instruments such as the piano or violin as their main instrument. Folk music instruments would merely be sandwiched between and produce a few musical notes to serve as support for the main instrument.

However, Yun Yiheng was truly in love with the zither, and he wanted to make pure eastern classical music.

His words caused Fatty and the others to fall silent.

Just when Yun Yiheng was planning to persuade them with the best of his efforts, the only girl in the band suddenly spoke, “Yun Yiheng, we will tell you the truth. Wen Yuyi invited us to join her band. You should know that her violin skills are very famous in our school, and her band is a popular pick to obtain first in the upcoming competition. She is willing to give us a chance and bring us to the Vienna Music Hall, so we are not willing to miss out on this opportunity.”

Fatty sighed heavily. “Bro Yun, we are different from you. For you, learning zither is a hobby, but we are trying to do so for the sake of securing a good future. We all understand that we can only serve as a support, acting like green leaves to enhance the beauty of a flower if we join Wen Yuyi’s band. But if we really could go to the Vienna Music Hall to perform, that would be the most glorious stroke in our resume, which would assist us greatly in the future, be it for graduation or finding a job after that.”

“Sorry.”

Everyone knew that it was very disrespectful to quit the band with such short notice. However, all of them chose their future.

Everyone bowed to him and left with their musical instruments.

Fatty was the last one.

He stood there and looked at Yun Yiheng before suddenly asking, “Bro Yun, do you really feel that folk music still has a future?”

Yun Yiheng spoke with a tone strong enough to sever steel, “Yes. Fatty, please believe me. [Coldness of Plum Blossoms] will definitely topple your understanding of folk music!”

However, Fatty smiled bitterly. “But where is the complete music score for [Coldness of Plum Blossoms]?”

Yun Yiheng choked.

Fatty patted Yun Yiheng on his shoulder and lowered his head before walking past him.

Yun Yiheng then stretched his hand out, wanting to grab him, but a second before his palm came in contact, it paused in the air.

Fatty didn’t stop.

After the four of them left the room, Yun Yiheng’s eyes turned red. His open palm slowly closed and he only grabbed thin air.

The empty room would usually be filled with the sounds of laughter and chatter from Fatty and the rest.

Everyone would usually have fun here.

A band that focused on purely folk music was something that their school didn’t support as they knew there was no future to it. However, Yun Yiheng made use of the Yun Family’s power to succeed in applying this room for their band’s usage.

But now, all the liveliness had faded. Only one person remained.

Yun Yiheng lowered his head and his shoulders slumped.

Did their band truly have no future? The zither which had been passed down for a few thousand years in history was ultimately going to lose to musical instruments from the West?

At this moment, the sound of footsteps rang out from his surroundings.

“Da, da, da.”

It then paused at the entrance.
