Bizzare Love - Chapter 2

Who would have thought that under the black sunglasses, there were a pair of watery pupils that were prettier than stars? 

Fortunately, for three years, everyone thought Meng Ting was a disabled blind person.

Almost no one associated a blind person with beauty. Between the two, beauty was suppressed.

Shu Lan returned to her senses. Knowing that her sister was gentle and good-tempered, she whispered, “Sister, I told my friend to light a warm yellow light and keep the stage dark in advance and you will close your eyes later. Do you remember the keys? It should be fine. Please relax.”

Meng Ting was stunned thinking of Shu’s 

health, whose body was not as good every day. She was still dazed until Shu Lan pushed her onto the stage. The light struck her instantly.

Shu Lan hadn’t lied to her. The stage lights became dim and warm in consideration to her eyes that couldn’t see strong light. This year, Meng Ting had only undergone corneal surgery for her eyes. She had worn sunglasses for more than three years and had been walking with a cane. After the operation was completed a month ago, it would take two months to adjust.

The audience had been silent since her appearance.

The white lace flower hat covered most of her face but they could faintly see the beautiful silhouette and the small white chin. She was wearing a white silk dress with a red tie around her waist and her waist-length hair was draped around her waist. She had a pair of small black leather shoes on her feet.

She was like the goddess of moonlight from a fairy tale.

Meng Ting knew that Jiang Ren was at the back of the auditorium.

She told herself not to panic. She was now replacing Shu Lan.

There was a piano under the light not far away, with black and white keys elegantly shining brightly.

Meng Ting looked at it tenderly.

She sat down on the stool, placed her hands on the piano keys, the long lost memory was remembered. The sound of the piano made her body tremble slightly. She finally had a real sense of being alive again.

Below, the audience was silent.

This was a vocational high school. Most people could dance or play guitar, but few people chose to play piano.

After a long while, people whispered, “Oh class eight girl, she’s so beautiful.” Although her outline was hazy, she was good-looking.

“What is she playing?”

Someone who knew piano said, “Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor.”

“Why the hell is the name so long?”

“…Also called the Moonlight Sonata.”

“What’s her name?”

“The host said, Shu Lan from Class 8.”

Shu Lan who looked quietly from behind the curtain was both happy and resentful. She knew how good Meng Ting was, since she was a child. If it weren’t for the eye injury that caused Meng Ting’s beauty to reduce, she would have been famous throughout the school in recent years.

But she was happy that after this scene, the famous person would be her.

How good was Meng Ting? The honor was all hers.

Moreover, Shu Lan looked to the back of the hall.

At the end of the auditorium, the silver-haired boy raised his eyes and looked at the stage.

Her heart beat faster, Jiang Ren.

Jiang Ren’s hair was brilliant silver that year  and he was wearing a black shirt and coat. The coat was open, a bit unruly. He sat on the chair gruffly, sitting on a higher armrest, with his legs bent arbitrarily and his feet on the soft seat of the boy nearby.

The student whose seat was stepped on did not dare to say anything and could only sit rigidly.

He Junming gaped at the stage and recovered after a while, “Is she from our school?” 

Licai Vocational School was a paradise for wealthy children. The group of people had poor grades and were just engaged in eating, drinking and playing. They really didn’t have such a feeling for girls.

Fang Tan was also amazed and couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Ren.

Jiang Ren lit a cigarette, but didn’t smoke it, holding it at his fingertips. Perceiving Fang Tan’s sight, he put the smoke between his lips, “Look at what? Do you really believe those rumors?”

Fang Tan was afraid of him being angry, “I don’t believe it.”

They knew that Jiang Ren hated this kind of girl the most. 

His mother disliked his father’s ignorance and looked down on him as if he was a dirty thing.

This kind of woman always had an ambition that was higher than the sky. He didn’t know how she could get carefree and elegant without money.

Jiang Ren was so far away that he couldn’t see what she looked like. However, she did play piano well. His eyes still fell on her.

Meng Ting lowered her long eyelashes. The thing she was most sensitive to was Jiang Ren’s gaze. She was not stupid. Pressing her finger, she moved a key to the right, deliberately playing a wrong note. Meng Ting played a few black keys less and the audience below had no sense of surprise, then they started to make noise, each playing their own way.

Shu Lan was stunned in disbelief.

Why did Meng Ting make a mistake?

Jiang Ren sneered, this kind dared to come out without shame? He looked away and let He Junming reshuffle the cards.

Meng Ting didn’t want to make Father Shu sad and disappointed, but she wouldn’t help Shu Lan again. In last life, it was because she was too eye-catching that Shu Lan became a celebrity in the school and the exposure of their substitute thing had such a big impact.

She bowed after playing and withdrew with her aching eyes. Shu Lan hurriedly pulled her to the locker room, “Why did you play a wrong note?”

Meng Ting fumbled and put on the sunglasses. 

It made her feel better. She didn’t answer Shu Lan’s words. Shu Lan was even more anxious about other things and didn’t care, “Let’s change our clothes back soon.”
