Spotting Chu Hejun in his performance attire, his face full of worry, Nian Jinsui quickly approached.
“Chu Hejun, what’s going on?”
“Nian Jinsui? Why are you here?”
Chu Hejun asked, clearly distressed.
“Xiao Liu has an upset stomach and can’t go on stage. Looks like the performance is a bust.”
“What?” Nian Jinsui’s eyes widened.
This wasn’t part of the novel’s plot!
He pressed further,
“Where’s Ning Liang’an?”
Chu Hejun glanced at Nian Jinsui, recalling Ye Kang’s words. Though he trusted Nian Jinsui more, he decided to test him and replied vaguely, “He’s locked in the warehouse.”
“What?!” Nian Jinsui was stunned. How could Ning Liang’an already be locked up when he hadn’t even acted yet?
Observing Nian Jinsui’s shocked expression, Chu Hejun concluded that he genuinely didn’t seem to know.
Unfortunately, Chu Hejun was wrong. Nian Jinsui wasn’t ignorant—he knew far too much.
Realization dawned on Nian Jinsui. Just like the earlier bullying incident, even if he didn’t take action, as long as someone acted under his name, the plot would progress as if he had.
The plot was a powerful force. Whether or not he intervened, events would still unfold.
And the one who locked Ning Liang’an up? It had to be… Ye Kang!
The answer was obvious.
Recalling that Ye Kang had been absent throughout the gala, Nian Jinsui became increasingly certain that Ye Kang was behind it.
But why hadn’t Chu Hejun gone to rescue Ning Liang’an as the novel dictated?
“Why are you still here?” Nian Jinsui asked anxiously. “Why didn’t you go save Ning Liang’an?”
“Why should I? Heroic rescues are my brother’s thing. Why steal his thunder?” Chu Hejun replied matter-of-factly.
Nian Jinsui froze. Everything was different now.
Wait. If Chu Hejun was present, Chu Heting wouldn’t need to play the piano. Would Chu Heting fill Xiao Liu’s spot instead?
Nian Jinsui’s mind raced. Chu Heting, as the main protagonist, was a jack-of-all-trades in the novel’s world. It wasn’t possible he only played the piano, right?
What was Xiao Liu’s role in the ensemble again?
Suddenly, Xilu’s voice interrupted his thoughts.
[Host, ensure the ensemble performance is successfully completed.]
A chill ran down Nian Jinsui’s spine. He understood what he had to do.
The staff announced, “Next up is the ensemble performance of classic music medleys. Performers, please prepare to go on stage.”
With Ning Liang’an absent, Chu Hejun took charge. “One of our members is sick and can’t perform. We’ll have to cancel.”
The staff member pressed, “Are you serious? Don’t you have a substitute?”
“Where would we find one now? Even if someone steps in, without rehearsals, it’ll be a mess. I won’t present something so unprofessional.”
“Alright, if you’re sure.”
Scanning the faces of the other ensemble members, Nian Jinsui saw disappointment, frustration, and unwillingness.
As someone who had been part of an orchestra in his previous life, Nian Jinsui knew well the hard work and hope that went into every performance.
“Wait!” Nian Jinsui gritted his teeth and called out, “The show will go on. We have a substitute!”
The staff member nodded. “Alright then, get ready. Instruments are being set up on stage.”
Chu Hejun, furious, turned to Nian Jinsui. “What are you doing? We don’t have a substitute!”
Nian Jinsui’s expression turned serious. Facing the ensemble members, he said, “I know how hard you’ve worked over the past month. Now is the time to showcase your efforts. Focus on your parts, and I promise we’ll deliver an excellent performance.”
With that, Nian Jinsui headed toward the stage.
“Wait, Nian Jinsui! You’re the substitute? Are you serious?” Chu Hejun asked in disbelief, blocking his path.
“Yes, it’s me. I don’t have time to explain. Just trust me,” Nian Jinsui replied, hurrying to the stage.
Picking up the sheet music on the stand, he quickly familiarized himself with it. Xiao Liu’s part was for the violin.
The other ensemble members exchanged worried glances.
“I’ve never heard of Nian Jinsui playing the violin. What if he messes up?”
“Yeah, if he messes up, we’ll be humiliated. Should we cancel instead?”
Chu Hejun hesitated. He’d never known Nian Jinsui to play the violin and didn’t want to risk a subpar performance. If they couldn’t meet the standard, he’d rather cancel.
At that moment, Chu Heting and Ning Liang’an finally arrived.
“Why aren’t you on stage yet? They’ve already announced the performance,” Ning Liang’an asked urgently.
Chu Hejun explained succinctly, “Xiao Liu is out sick, and Nian Jinsui is filling in.”
Turning to Chu Heting, he asked, “Brother, did you know Nian Jinsui could play the violin?”
Chu Heting shook his head. “I’ve never heard of it.”
Without hesitation, Ning Liang’an asserted, “I’m the program manager. Listen to me! I trust Young Master Nian. Get on stage now!”
Moved by Ning Liang’an’s determination, Chu Hejun relented. “Fine, I’ll take the risk this time. Let’s go!”
With Ning Liang’an’s decision final, the ensemble members reluctantly followed Chu Hejun onto the stage.
Meanwhile, Qin Chengyu, worried about Nian Jinsui’s prolonged absence, was about to search for him when the emcee’s voice echoed:
“Next up is the ensemble performance of classic music medleys. Please enjoy.”
Reaching for his phone to call Nian Jinsui, Qin Chengyu caught a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
Why was Nian Jinsui on stage?
As the crew adjusted the instruments, Nian Jinsui swiftly skimmed the sheet music.
He had watched the rehearsal once and was familiar with the classic pieces, which he had practiced extensively in his past life. Most of the melodies were ingrained in his mind. All he needed was to focus on the transitions and the slight modifications for the ensemble.

"Ahhh!" "Where's my big dragon!" "Why did it become a little dragon?!" Following a sharp explosion, Nian Jinsui stared in disbelief. He checked his body repeatedly with his eyes, and finally raised his head like a bolt out of the blue, and his eyes fell on the mirror in front of him. The boy in the mirror had fluffy chestnut curly hair, his skin was as smooth and shiny as white jade, and his cheeks were stained with a faint blush, as if covered with a light crimson haze. His facial features are particularly exquisite, and he looks like God's favorite at first glance. His eyes were very bright and moist, and they were slightly widened at this time, full of surprise. Even the pink lips were slightly open, and it seemed that he had been greatly shocked. One look at this appearance, and you can tell that he is a noble, pampered kid from a rich family. Nian Jinsui looked at the face in front of him...

“Mr. Nian, Mr. Qin asked me to bring my family’s second young master here. I’ll leave him in your care.” A middle-aged man in a loose suit stood respectfully outside the Nian family villa, speaking to Nian Yixin. “Of course, Mr. Qin has already informed me.” Nian Yixin replied with a polite smile, though his expression carried a natural air of measured distance. He was the head of the Nian family and, notably, an Omega. Nian Yixin’s gaze landed on the young man beside the driver. The youth stood straight, his frame lean like a proud green bamboo. His features were sharp and handsome, his eyes deep and dark, as though concealing icy cracks beneath a cold river, exuding an air of coldness and eeriness. At the corner of his right eye, there was a small mole, adding a faint trace of aloofness to his expression. His indifferent demeanor and taciturn nature made him less than charming as a guest. “So this is Chengyu? You’ll be living with us from now on. Feel free to...

"Son, I know you’re upset right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you need to endure this for now" Qin Mu yun advised. "Nian Jinsui is the type who thrives on making a fuss. If this incident gets blown up and reaches your grandfather’s ears, it’ll be hard to handle." Compared to Qin Cheng luo, Qin Mu yun was slightly more level-headed. Although she was angry, she hadn’t lost her rationality. With Qin Zhuo currently evaluating Qin Cheng luo, they couldn’t afford to take any risks. Qin Cheng luo, though unwilling, understood the gravity of the situation. "Don’t worry, Mom. Once I become the head of Qin Corporation, handling Qin Chengyu will be a piece of cake. I’ll make sure Nian Jinsui kneels before me, begging for my mark!" "Someone that even Chu Heting doesn’t want—what’s so special about him? If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the only son of the Nian family, who could tolerate his ...

Nian Jinsui was having a beautiful dream. In his dream, he had returned to his original body and even met his dream Omega. The little Omega’s face wasn’t clear; he could only see those soft-looking lips approaching him, with a faint, sweet fragrance. So proactive—how could he wait any longer? Nian Jinsui widened his eyes, trying to see the Omega’s face clearly. He puckered his lips in anticipation of those tender, delicate lips. As his vision sharpened, however... The person before him had cold, indifferent eyes, even showing a trace of reluctance and resistance. Even the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to emit disdain. Yet, those lips were exceptionally beautiful—plump and defined, looking so tempting to bite. Come on, come on, just give him a kiss… Just as Qin Chengyu’s lips were about to touch Nian Jinsui’s, their eyes met. Qin Chengyu saw Nian Jinsui’s intoxicated gaze, coupled with the subtle movements of his lips. Qin Chengyu quickly lowered his eyes, ...

Nian Jinsui couldn't help but think of Qin Chengyu's life experience. The current leader of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, is nearly seventy years old. He is still energetic and quick-thinking, and holds all the power of the Qin family firmly in his hands. Qin Zhuo is a top Alpha with high IQ and strong ability. Under his hands, the Qin family has developed into one of the three major families in the imperial capital. At the same time, he is also a proud and arrogant person. He hopes that his high-quality Alpha genes can continue to carry forward the Qin family. It's a pity that he only has two Omega daughters, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu. Qin Zhuo could only recruit two Alpha sons-in-law, and put his hope in his grandchildren. Later, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu gave birth to sons one year apart. It's just that Qin Muyu was not in good health originally, and became even more weak after giving birth to a child, and died a few years later. Her husband was distraught, depressed all day ...
