You are the reason why I break free from the shackles
On the day of the piano competition, Xie Jingci did not come on stage.
His father withdrew his registration for "delaying business." He sat in the piano room, his fingertips hanging above the keys and never falling.
Bai Nian opened the door slightly and came in without asking anything. She just sat down next to him, gently placed a bottle of warm milk in his hand, and then stayed with him quietly.
There was silence for a long time.
He spoke in a very soft voice: "... I originally wanted to play it for you."
She said: "It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future."
He looked sideways at her. She didn't look at him, she just lowered her head and unconsciously rubbed the bottle with her fingers. He knew that she deliberately didn't look at it because she was afraid of being embarrassed.
He later told his father that he would succeed the Xie family, but he would also continue to play the piano. It's not a discussion, it's a notification.
That was the first time he fought for himself.
