老攻身患绝症[穿书]

Chapter 69

The role of the young master started from his most brilliant point. He successfully completed his studies abroad and won the grand prize in the international piano competition. He declined the invitation of many foreign orchestras and returned home with the idea of ‘letting more people in China know and learn the piano.’

However, after returning home, his life fell all the way to the bottom.

After enjoying a period of family care at home, the young master’s mother arranged for the young master to marry his cousin. The young master had received advanced education and naturally refused to obey. He rebelled at home and simply ran away from home.

Later, the young master experienced being cheated, bullied and being led astray. Finally, the war broke out and he awakened. He rushed home only to find his home was no longer home. The Su house was smashed, most of his relatives were dead and his mother and cousin were imprisoned by the enemy. 

The young master was angry and frightened. He wanted to save his relatives but he had no way. Just as he was feeling desperate, the male lead of the movie, the adopted son of the Su family appeared and secretly hid him. He was encouraged to cheer up and was brought into the army, giving him a direction for his efforts.

The brothers participated in the army’s rescue attempt of their mother. During the rescue process, the young master’s hand was injured and he could no longer play the piano. His face was disfigured and he ultimately couldn’t save his mother.

At the end of the story, the adopted son of the Su family and the rescued cousin got married. The army moved to the front lines and the young master was left behind as a wounded soldier.

After sending away the adopted son and the cousin, the young master fled the army and returned to the decaying Su family home. He found the piano he used when learning the piano as a child. It was damaged by the enemy so he awkwardly repaired it. Then he sat on it and played his favourite tune with his broken fingers. Finally, he held a photo of his mother and turned himself and the old and decaying Su house into ashes by setting a fire. 

Years later, the war ended and the adopted son of the Su family, who had many military achievements, returned home with the pregnant cousin. The two of them found a severed finger bone in the old location of the Su house that was long overgrown with weeds. The adopted son used this finger bone and the toy piano that the young master had given the cousin when he was a child to build a tomb for the young master.

The broken finger bone and the toy piano, this was the final outcome of the young master.

Xie Yang closed the script and stared into the air for a while. Then he put down the script and lay down to sleep.

On Monday, Xie Yang and Qin Cheng went to the audition location together by car.

Xie Yang had closed his eyes to rest and Qin Cheng spoke from next to him, “Even if the result of the audition isn’t successful, you must do well. It is okay not to have acting skills but you must have the correct attitude. Show Director Zhou your hard work and sincerity, understood?”

Xie Yang let out a hum and didn’t open his eyes.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the door of an old theatre.
