As the saying goes, retreat by a wide margin.

In life, many people can bravely move forward, but few choose to retreat.

Sometimes, it takes more courage to step back than to move forward.

That night in the Chu Family, Yan Yun ruthlessly trampled over the He Family and beat up the Chu Family brothers, causing the two great families to lose face.

But these weren't important to Yan Yun at all. What was important was that time he had swung his hand, causing Chu Yunxi's relationship with him to almost break.

On the second day, facing the Kong Family's banquet, Chu Yunxi was able to stop and leave without looking back. This was a type of retreat, for Chu Yunxi, who had always been strong since she was young, to choose to retreat when facing Yan Yun.

Yan Yun did not have the courage to retreat. If he did not cause much trouble for the Chu Family that night, the relationship between the two of them would not have broken down. After that night, did Yan Yun regret it? A little.

However, he could not help but apologize to Chu Yunxi. When Yan Yun returned to his purple apartment, Chu Yunxi's figure appeared in front of him. He's not stone-hearted.

But Yan Yun did not say it out loud, a man's emotions did not need to be expressed with words, Yan Yun was a real man, just like how he did not like people apologizing to him or thanking him for those words, he also did not like words or anything like that.

Yan Yun used movement, he was slowly changing everything for Chu Yunxi. In the face of Ren Junxi's repeated provocations, Yan Yun had already chosen to endure it, if it was like before, he would have already slapped him hard, pushing him down to the ground and ravaging him.

Chu Yunxi was as intelligent as a demon, how could she not see through Yan Yun's thoughts? Chu Yunxi was moved. She knew that she would never regret that day's decision in her entire life.

Get off the bus, don't go to the dinner, and follow this man for generations.

The competition continued on, Ren Junxi with a high score of 9.3 had unquestionably become the top scorer in the first group, and directly advanced to the next round. In the second group, an ordinary-looking girl with a score of 9.2 had become the top scorer.

Next up was the third group, which was Yan Yun's group's elimination round.

When No. 11 contestant walked off the stage with a score of 9, his face was brimming with a smile. This was a high score. If nothing unexpected happened, he would become the third highest scorer.

It was already time for the 12th, which was Yan Yun. Under the gazes of the two girls, Yan Yun walked onto the stage calmly.

In front of the white piano, Yan Yun sat there calmly with both of his hands on the keyboard.

The lively and empty melody flowed like a stream through the circular hall, causing the audience to instantly sit up straight. Anyone who came here to listen was a person who understood music, and experts would immediately know if they had heard it. The melody was smooth and full of allure, and the audience would know that it was an expert.

Everyone was focused on the song and it ended very quickly. If it wasn't for the fact that everyone had good qualities and didn't want to ruin the atmosphere of the competition, they would have applauded and cheered already.

Very quickly, the judges gave him 9.5 points!

Seeing this score, the number 11 who had been secretly rejoicing over the 9 points instantly became depressed. What a bad luck! Now that he was in the same group as the seeded contestant, he could only hold his head and smile bitterly.

"Young man, you finally don't need to practice music to deal with us!" An easy-going judge quipped.

Yan Yun laughed awkwardly, causing the people below to laugh too, the atmosphere became more lively.

"Hmph …" The good show has only just begun. The higher you climb, the harder you will fall later. "

In the corner, Ren Junxi snorted coldly. Participants with strength would always conserve their strength in the group elimination rounds, and not reveal it completely, which would allow them to achieve a miraculous victory. Although Ren Junxi's score was lower than Yan Yun's, this did not mean that he could not get 9.5 points.

It's just that, if he were to conserve his strength, Yan Yun's strength would only be limited to 9.5 points? The answer is to look forward to it.

There were quite a few contestants in the finals, but there were only twenty groups left. Very quickly, the group elimination round came to an end.

Next was the performance of the last contestant. It was a middle-aged man with a rough appearance, dressed differently from the rest of Yan Yun's group, dressed in a semi-formal attire. This man had a face full of stubble, and wore a shabby short-sleeved shirt.

This attire would be alright if it was placed in the market, but this was the venue for the concert! Moreover, it was the venue of the finals. The big guy's appearance was quite weird.

Many people shook their heads and laughed. This big man was truly too unique, but on his clean-cut face, a pair of deep and sharp eyes were revealed. He did not arouse the displeasure of others.

Seeing this burly man sitting in front of the piano, the judges didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Dong!

The big man forcefully pressed down with his large hand, and the piano sounded out like a drum.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The big man crazily played the piano. This was not like playing a piano, but rather like playing a drum. However, the crowd didn't have too many thoughts at the moment. They even forgot to worry if the piano would collapse because of the big man's strength.

The song played by the big guy was loud and distant like a Desert Eagle. The powerful but rhythmic melody completely stunned everyone. It was as if they could see thousands of horses galloping through the vast and empty prairie.

The unique yet domineering melody enchanted everyone. After a long time, when the big fellow stopped, everyone returned to their senses and a wave of applause rang out from below.

This time, the audience had really broadened their horizons. It turned out that the piano could even be played in this way.

After the song ended, the big man did not stand up, but looked towards the judges below and said, "I will play another song. Please do not give me any marks, I just want to use this stage to fulfill my lover's wish. I have something I need to take care of, so I can't stay any longer.

The big man's eyes were sharp, but this was an innate ability, and it didn't have any real malicious intent.

After discussing for a while, the judges finally said, "For this matter, we will leave the decision to the audience. They can agree to it."

"We agree, you can play!"

"That's right!" "The song just now was too shocking. I've never seen it before, so the piano can actually play like this."

Without waiting for the man to speak, the crowd started shouting. Apparently, the man's melody had already won the hearts of the people.

"Thank you!" The big man cupped his hands in thanks.

With that, the man looked at the piano once more. The sharpness in his eyes gradually faded away. From peace to the end, his eyes were filled with endless grief. This time, the man's playing style was completely different from before.

He gently caressed the piano, as if this piano was his most beloved woman. His eyes made others not dare to look at him, as if looking at him would cause them to sink into eternal doom.

Ding!

The melodious sound of a melodious melody resonated in the distance. The big man's actions were very careful, as if he was afraid that if he used too much strength, he would make the piano fall apart. This was the complete opposite of his previous sonorous and forceful style.

As they quietly listened to the zither music played by the man, everyone seemed to see a scene that would cause tears to fall from their eyes. It was as if they saw a mountain peak surrounded by an empty prairie, with eagles soaring in the sky.

The two figures blended in with the surroundings until the clouds disappeared, until the sun went down in the west, and until the eagle returned to its nest. The scene slowly shattered and disappeared.

"Xiaoling, look, I did it. There are ten thousand people watching. Today is your birthday. I'm going to stand on this stage and play your favorite song."

When the song ended, the burly man mumbled to himself while facing the sky. Two drops of tears fell from his eyes. These were the tears of a man. They were the tears a man gave to his dead wife.

"Thank you everyone." The big man wiped away his tears and quietly walked off the stage.

Everyone silently watched the big man leave. This was a strange man. The rough mine man shed tears in front of thousands of people. Everyone did not feel that he was being unreasonable. Everyone knew that this big man must have some unknown story.
