The piano's light and melodious tones filled every corner as Huangfu Jue played, his gaze sweeping across the room. His eyes skated past other guests and lingered for a moment on that familiar figure in the distance. Then, he struck a forceful note, rose from the piano bench and left the entire piano to his son.
The little boy played earnestly, his small hands dancing rapidly over the keys, his delicate face a picture of intense focus.
Though there were nearly a hundred people present, he performed for just one person—this was a piece for Mommy.
For this reason, he put in an especially diligent effort.
Such a piece was certainly challenging for a child, and by the final flourish, his small hands almost seemed to take flight over the piano keys.
Not to mention the guests, even Gan Yuan, his mother, wore a face full of surprise.
