As night falls, Tokyo lights up with bustling neon lights.
Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, under the lights at night, is as beautiful as a work of art.
Logically, people would enter the venue as soon as possible because the competition and performance have begun.
But tonight was different. Many people did not come to see the show, nor did they buy tickets. Some even came early in the morning just to see "Zero Hour" appear at the door.
As night fell, people who wanted to see the performance entered the venue one after another and took their seats based on their tickets.
Shizuka Kitajima also went straight into the venue's large concert hall and sat down in a seat in the front row.
There was a young man on the stage playing a piano piece with full concentration, and the beautiful and melodious sound of the piano echoed throughout the whole venue.
"Chopin's Nocturne Op.15-3? It's of a very high standard."
Shizuka Kitajima came to the concert hall after a long absence. Listening to the piano, she quickly recognized this classic piece.
This piece of music is very difficult to play, and the person in the stands also has very strong playing skills. After all, it is the youth finals of the Neon region, and the level is very high.
The youth group is for performers aged 18 to 26. Although not as good as the amateur group, in fact, those who are truly talented in piano can already show their brilliance in the youth group.
She also participated in the Kawai Asian Piano Competition that year, but unfortunately she was not strong enough and did not even make it to the finals of the Neon region, but only made it to the semi-finals.
However, her mind was not on the stage, but on the audience, looking around from time to time.
There are many people like her who come for the midnight competition and do not pay much attention to the performances of the contestants in the piano competition.
For example, the same goes for Yuki Ichinose. She doesn't know much about piano. At most, she thinks it sounds nice and looks amazing.
"How long will it take... It's already 7:40."
Yuki Ichinose has been listening to the piano for more than an hour since she entered the venue at around 6 o'clock. She watched the performance on the stage, glanced at her mobile phone, muttered to herself, and looked around.
In fact, she was not very excited about who would be the champion of the piano competition, because she didn't even know what piece was being performed on stage.
The reason why she came was, on the one hand, to come with Lan and everyone else so that she could be more sociable, and on the other hand, because she knew that this Master of Zero Hour would be her colleague in the future.
When her contract expires, she should join Zero Hour Agency this weekend.
"Could it be that Master Zero Time has arrived?"
Just then, she noticed that people around her were looking back. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked over as well.
However, when she turned around, she did not see the familiar black and white image, but saw a beautiful woman.
"Isn't it... But this sister is so beautiful!"
Yuki Ichinose felt a little sorry, but couldn't help but marvel at it.
At the entrance, a white-haired, blue-eyed beauty, wearing a flawless white dress, was communicating with the receptionist about ticket checking.
Her facial features are delicate and beautiful, her temperament is holy, her figure is super beautiful, slender and slim, her long hair is like white snow, she has a pair of beautiful light blue eyes, clear and moving, her skin is so white that it seems to glow, her hands and feet are slender, and she is beautiful like a princess who walked out of a painting.
She was so beautiful that even Yuki Ichinose, who was also a girl, was stunned by her. She was deeply attracted to her and didn't want to look away.
"!"
After a while, Ichinose Yuki noticed that the white-haired sister had finished checking tickets and was walking towards her. She was startled and quickly looked away.
Because everyone was looking at him, Miki Baiyu didn't notice her gaze and just went to his seat according to the receptionist's instructions.
"Sanmu, why are you here just now?" As she approached, her classmates waved to her.
"Sorry, I rushed here as soon as I finished my training." Miki Baiyu sat down and apologized with his hands clasped together.
"Fortunately Brother Guang didn't come."
Seeing the white-haired sister walk to the front and sit down, Ichinose Yuki couldn't help but grumble in her heart.
Brother Guang is so handsome. If this white-haired sister takes a liking to him at first sight, falls in love with him, and comes to compete with her for him, it will be troublesome.
"What a beautiful person... Is this a celebrity?"
Matsushita Tong also noticed it and sighed quietly.
Although she has always been unable to bear to see others being better than herself, this white-haired sister is truly as beautiful as a painting, just like the princess she imagined.
"Probably not. If such a beautiful girl were an artist, she would have been as famous as Yuki."
Shiina Ai shook her head. As the most star-chasing person in the gala group, she has absolute say.
If this white-haired sister were to become a star, just that face and that pure and noble temperament would be enough to make her famous all over the country.
The same is true for Xiao Yuki now. As long as she has some more time to settle down, it is only a matter of time before she becomes a famous model.
"I'm not as pretty as she is."
Hearing this, Ichinose Yuki couldn't help but say.
In fact, because she was bullied in junior high school, she has a bit of inferiority complex.
"Don't be discouraged, you're no worse than hers with makeup on." Seeing her say this, Shiina Lan immediately comforted her.
"That's after I put on makeup." Yuki Ichinose was helpless.
"That white-haired beauty is probably a few years older than you. In a few years, you will be even more beautiful." Qiu Yuekui has a high emotional intelligence and comforted her in different ways.
"What are you looking at? Is it Master Zero Time who has arrived?"
Just then, Shiina Ai noticed that her boyfriend, Sato, was looking back at the entrance and was distracted, so she asked curiously.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned around to look.
"… "
When they saw this, the group of hot girls were mesmerized.
I saw a big sister walking in at the entrance of the concert hall.
She was wearing a beige shirt, a black hip skirt, her long blue hair was slightly curly, her lips were red, and she wore a pair of frameless glasses. She had a cool and elegant temperament. She carried a small leather bag in one hand and checked the ticket with the other hand.
She just stood there, elegant and intellectual, noble and dignified, her whole body exuding a sense of refinement, and her aura was so strong that it was hard to ignore.
Her facial features were very three-dimensional, and she wore a pair of frameless glasses. She had a calm expression, and she just stood there with one arm folded, checking tickets. She looked extremely elegant and stunning.
Moreover, her pair of super long legs wrapped in black stockings, with their slender and straight lines, displayed a beauty that was truly stunning.
Although she was dressed very formally, she managed to wear this common OL uniform in a sexy and cool way, cold and dignified, giving people the feeling that she could only be admired from a distance and not approached.
"Are there so many beauties in the concert hall?"
Sato was so entranced that he even forgot his girlfriend was beside him, mumbling to himself.
This icy queen with blue hair and blue eyes was many times more beautiful than any female celebrity he had ever seen. Her temperament was simply stunning.
When Shiina Lan heard this, she grabbed his waist angrily to show her punishment and anger.
"This is what a mature woman should look like."
Qiu Yuekui was very moved when she saw this scene.
She had always been pursuing a cool style in her dressing... But after seeing this older sister, she realized that she seemed to have gone in the wrong direction.
A handsome and beautiful woman does not rely on the way she dresses, but on the confidence and aura that exudes from the inside out.
"Fortunately, Brother Guang is very busy and has no time to watch the game."
Unlike her, when Yuki Ichinose saw Chizuru Ninomiya appear, an alarm bell sounded in her heart, but she was secretly glad again.
Her secret relief this time was even stronger than before.
This older sister was so beautiful, not inferior to the white-haired beauty just now... In her opinion, she was even more beautiful and charming.
In the final analysis, it is because this kind of big sister who has a good figure, temperament, looks, and money is someone she cannot compete with now.
In comparison, the white-haired sister just now still has the ability to compete.
Yuki Ichinose had a particularly strong sense of crisis in her heart. She felt that this elegant and mature older sister would definitely be the type that Guang Ge liked.
As a woman, she has no resistance to this elegant and intellectual older sister. As for what kind of man she is like, she can tell from the reactions of Sato and Hinata.
They were just amazed when they saw the white-haired sister just now, but now they were stunned.
At the same time, Ninomiya Chizuru finished checking her tickets and started walking forward.
Because she had an internal ticket, her seat was in the first row. She walked across the stairs covered with red carpet, and wherever she passed, both men and women were attracted by her presence.
She paid no attention to the looks and quickly sat down.
"Is there another contestant performing before his turn? Looks like he's caught up."
Sitting in the first row, Ninomiya Chizuru took out her cell phone, glanced at the message, and felt a little relieved.
Unlike others, Runa would report the time and progress to her in full.
Although she wanted to come earlier, tomorrow was the final exam for economics, and as a teacher, it was really difficult for her to get away.
Soon, it was the last performer's turn.
As the performer bowed to the audience, she sat at the piano and played. Chizuru Ninomiya knew piano and recognized the piece right away.
"Moonlight Sonata Chapter 1?"
Maybe she came for the midnight performance, but since she was here, it would be nice to enjoy a song as an appetizer.
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is often used in various grading and entrance examinations... Although she doesn't have the time and energy to learn it, she knows a lot about it.
"Pah pah pah pah."
A few minutes later, the song ended and the whole audience applauded the performer.
Faced with thunderous applause, the performer, a beautiful lady in an evening gown, saluted the audience again, then turned around and left the stage.
Not long after, a woman wearing a blue evening gown and with dignified and beautiful features walked onto the empty stage, stood in front of the piano, held the microphone and faced the audience, and began to speak:
“The last contestant’s performance has ended, but the Kawai Asia Piano Competition, Neon Division Youth Group Finals has not ended until the champion is determined.
The judges will also have to discuss and rank the winners to decide the first, second and third place. This process will take some time, so please be patient and wait for a moment.
While the scoring is going on, let us welcome tonight’s special guest to the stage at midnight.”
As she spoke, the cameras and lenses in the audience were constantly pointed at the host.
The people who watched this performance were not just those in person, but also those watching the TV broadcast and the live webcast.
