Chapter 41 Iceberg Can Really Smile
Hearing his granddaughter come to "complain," he wasn't very happy. He was different from those uncivilized people of the older generation. He knew his granddaughter liked Ethan White, but Ethan said it was impossible, and he despised even forcing a cow to drink water.
So when his granddaughter, spoiled by Lilly and arrogant since childhood, called and cried, he was truly overjoyed. He was especially curious about who would be able to accept Ethan, who was harder than stone.
"I handed him over." Ethan glanced at the Hummer, which was about to disappear, opened the door, got in, and started the engine. "I have other matters to attend to. We'll talk another day."
"Okay, bring her to dinner tomorrow to satisfy my curiosity." The Liney said without any politeness,
"Okay." Ethan turned the wheel with one hand and pulled out of the Restaurant. As he passed Jessica, he completely ignored her gesture of greeting to stop. He drove past her without stopping, following the black Hummer ahead at a distance.
Lilly was stunned when Ethan entered. She came to her senses and wanted to run away, but Carl stopped her. Before she could escape, she met Ethan's gaze...
"Oh my! He seems to be looking here. Am I seeing something wrong? He even smiled at us!" Karl said in surprise.
Lilly was also shocked. She actually noticed Ethan's mouth lift slightly at that moment.
Can he laugh? Can a big iceberg actually laugh?
After four years of studying together in college, Lilly deeply understood how rarely he laughed. He rarely laughed!
But now he's actually laughing?
Lilly snorted softly to herself. Of course, all the men in the world were black. Even Ethan would show his foolish and crazy side for beautiful women!
Finding Lilly, Ethan hid in a corner and sat as if no one was around. The look in Lilly's eyes when he first entered was still etched in his memory.
Exactly like the undisguised love she had felt for him in the beginning, the same infatuation and admiration.
It made him feel like he still had a place in Lilly's heart.
Just thinking about it involuntarily lifted his spirits, so much so that the corners of his lips lifted, revealing a rare smile, and he didn't even notice.
"Okay, Lilly, come on stage!" Simo couldn't hold back, so he grabbed Lilly and threw her onto the stage.
Glorious lights illuminated the center of the stage. Lilly, wearing a white chiffon dress, walked onto the stage with a broad smile and took the microphone.
The music began to play.
"I always need some time alone..."
The girl gently parted her lips, and the crowd instantly felt as if they were bathing in a beautiful spring. Her ethereal, ethereal voice filled the room, filled with quiet temptation.
Ethan leaned casually against the booth, holding a glass of golden tequila, and a cold breath radiated from his entire body, chilling anyone who tried to speak to him.
At that moment, he simply wanted to quietly listen to the girl sing.
He hadn't heard her sing in a long time, so pure and warm...
"...When you leave, I count the steps you take (Since you left, I count the days you spent away each day)..." The girl closed her eyes slightly, and her beautiful voice tenderly and gracefully expressed her deep longing.
Ethan raised his eyebrows, curved his thin lips, and said slowly, in a cold voice laced with a hint of complexity, "When you're gone..."
His gaze clouded over, and he suddenly remembered that year in college, with the purple lavender and scent of flowers filling the garden.
The Royal Academy of Music held a grand beach music festival to celebrate the 50th anniversary... of the academy's founding.
That summer, the sea breeze was gentle, and the singing rang out long.
Most of the faculty and students at the Royal Academy of Music had gathered Sitting on the shore of the boundless ocean, listening to pure and beautiful music one after another.
"Ah, Ethan, how was it?" a professor at the Royal Academy of Music, sitting in the judges' seat, poked Ethan, who had been brought up to help him choose the contestants.
The competition was almost over, but his kind judges still hadn't said a word, clearly silently expressing that he hadn't heard anything entirely pleasing to the ear.
Since Ethan entered the Royal Academy of Music, he had only worked as an associate professor. Only professors can serve as judges at this music competition, so Ethan simply stood behind the professor, occasionally answering his questions and making friendly remarks.
He not only possesses exceptional musical talent but also excellent musical taste, which is why the Academy invited him to the Royal Academy of Music.
Although his qualifications aren't as deep as those of the college's older professors, Ethan is a genius, and his ear for music is far more sensitive than that of many talented people.
Unfortunately, Ethan has a cold personality and refuses to make peace with people. Because of this nasty attitude, he offended the college's senior management, leading to his demotion.
Ethan himself pays no attention to this. The professor's workload is enormous, and he also has to care for Ziyan, an orphan entrusted to him by a friend. He's completely exhausted, and his position as an associate professor only lightens his burden.
"Hey, are the people at the Royal School of Music really that bad that none of them could interest you?" Professor flipped the sheet music over on the table, twirled a pen in one hand, and teased.
Ethan's eyes and eyebrows seemed to sparkle in the sun, but he snorted coldly, "Do you want me to choose seriously or just at random?"
"Of course, I have to choose seriously," the professor said, but a cynical expression appeared on his handsome face. "But this is the last choice, and you haven't made your decision yet. Don't wait until it's all over and you can't fulfill any quotas."
Although Professor has a hippie outlook, deep down, he attaches great importance to his opinion. Moreover, the academy attaches great importance to this competition, and some media outlets are also paying attention to it.
The Royal Conservatory of Music is one of the three most renowned universities dedicated to nurturing musical talent. Those who enter the Royal Conservatory of Music are usually gifted musicians. Many musicians take notice, wait for them to mature, and then directly accept them to develop in the musical environment.
"Don't worry, if there's no one left, then..." Ethan curled his lips in disdain and said, "You can choose yourself."
The professor immediately brightened upon seeing Ethan, so he had to wave his hand and announce the last participant to take the stage.
That day, Lilly was also dressed in the same way: in a white dress, with a graceful figure and refined face, standing on stage.
The world seemed to have suddenly lost its color.
A strange look flashed in Ethan's eyes. He had formed an impression of this girl. At the Royal Conservatory of Music, outstanding talents are remembered by the professor.
