Chapter 380

As Lin Yi’s fingers moved, the elegant notes and light, brisk melody of "Moonlight Sonata" drifted from the piano. Although they were in the middle of a shopping mall with no moonlight in sight, the music painted the scene, as if rays of moonlight were filtering in. It draped everything in a silvery veil, evoking a subtle, refreshing chill in the air. The entire mall fell strangely quiet, as if everyone’s focus had been captured by Lin Yi’s playing. The space, not originally suited for piano music, became unexpectedly fitting due to the collective silence of the crowd. Professional musicians in the audience were even more shaken. They could recognize the quality of the composition—this was the work of a master. Yet, no matter how they searched their memories of every piano repertoire they knew, they could find nothing to match it. Such a beautiful piece could not possibly be obscure, and yet they didn't recognize it. When Lin Yi finished, they became convinced that this was truly an original work, not something already in existence. Many began sending recordings to industry insiders to verify if it was a new masterpiece from some renowned composer. The crowd grew intrigued by the man on stage, their phones snapping photos incessantly.
