"Joseph, you’re back!"

Alice looked up at him, her face lit with a sweet smile, her eyes fixed on his sharply defined features.

"Could you put me down so I can get a drink of water?"

At the moment, Alice was straddling him, and Joseph had no choice but to hold her carefully with one hand to prevent her from falling.

"Alright."

Alice leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek before obediently sliding down from his lap.

"Oh, right—Senior Mason Alvarez told me that you haven’t replied to her messages. She asked me to remind you that she and Professor Baker will be at the Nova City Westfield Shopping Centers before six. She said to make sure you’re on time."

Alice sat down on the sofa, speaking softly and sweetly.

"She messaged me?"

Joseph frowned and checked his phone, realizing that Mason Alvarez had indeed sent him quite a few messages. He had been too busy earlier to look.

    "Miss, I'm here to chaperone my student on a blind date. The young man hasn’t arrived yet," Felix Baker explained with an awkward smile. "Just look at her—she’s so young, and I’m already well into my years. There’s no way it’s what you’re thinking. If it were, what kind of teacher would that make me? It’d be disgraceful.""Ah! I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to misinterpret the situation," the waitress blushed, clearly embarrassed."It’s fine, as long as the air is cleared," Felix chuckled."Would you two like to place your orders in advance?" the waitress asked again."The jerk isn’t here yet. We’ll wait for him. I’ll call you when we’re ready," Mason Alvarez replied curtly.The waitress bowed politely and walked away.Moments later, Joseph finally spotted Table 69.Mason Alvarez waved him over.

    "Professor, what’s this?" Mason Alvarez looked at the crumpled tickets in Felix Baker’s hand, momentarily unable to make out what they were."There's a concert tonight at 7:30 on the rooftop of Westfield Shopping Centers," Felix explained with a smile. "Several renowned orchestras and musicians are performing. I thought you two might enjoy it.""These are VIP tickets — took quite some effort to get them. After dinner, head up and enjoy the show." "As for me, this old man will be heading home to see your teacher’s wife.""$2,980 each? These tickets are that expensive?" Mason stared at the price in disbelief."What's a little money? Take them. I’ve paid for dinner too — got a discount with my membership." "Now I’ll leave you two alone. Enjoy the evening."With that, Felix turned and walked off."Professor..." Mason called after him, but he didn’t look back.Holding the tickets, she furrowed her brows, her emotions tangled. Her teacher had gone above and beyond for her — truly li

    At that moment, Joseph walked over. Mason Alvarez immediately rushed to his side, slipping her arm through his like a delicate bird seeking shelter, as if she were purposefully declaring her claim in front of Lewis Craig."Who's this? A friend of yours?" Joseph asked casually."Not really. Just a passerby. He said he's the vice president of the Nova City Piano Association." Mason replied with a shake of her head, her tone honest and plain.Upon hearing that, Lewis Craig's face darkened further. Not really? A passerby...?"Charming lady, didn't you say you were waiting for a girlfriend?" Lewis asked, a hint of irritation in his voice."That's right. He's my girlfriend. My bestie. Don’t be fooled by the outer appearance—he might look like a man, but deep down, he’s a woman at heart. We’ve always seen each other as sisters." Mason replied with an awkward smile and a playful shrug."Ms. Alvarez, are you insane?" Joseph was speechless after hearing her explanation. This woman could sa

    "Mr. Wilson, this Zasit guy... he does sound pretty good. Is he really famous?" Mason asked curiously.Joseph glanced at Mason Alvarez but said nothing."Mr. Wilson, I’m talking to you. Is he famous? Do you know him?" Mason pressed again."I forgot," Joseph replied, as indifferent as before."Again with the forgetting. Your memory’s really something." Mason huffed, then gave up and turned her attention back to the music.To be fair, Zasit’s performance was exceptional. Even to someone like Mason, who had little musical training, the melodies were captivating. Each time he finished a piece, the hall erupted in thunderous applause and cheers—a testament to his extraordinary talent.After performing three or four consecutive pieces, Zasit paused to address the audience."Is he speaking French? My French is terrible. It all sounds like ‘zee zee waa waa’ to me. So confusing!" Mason said with a helpless frown."He said he’s delighted to be with everyone tonight. His name is Zasit, and

    The host, clearly at a loss under Joseph’s instruction, turned instinctively to Lewis Craig for guidance.“Translate it, obviously! Why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t understand a word they said either!” Lewis Craig frowned, irritation flashing across his face. He was beginning to suspect the host was not the brightest.“You want me to translate word for word?” The host muted his mic and asked.“Isn’t that obvious? If you don’t translate it properly, how the hell am I supposed to know what they said?” Lewis Craig was nearly seething. He was tempted to kick the man off stage. Where did the organizers find this genius? Completely clueless.Following the instruction, the host began translating the exchange between Joseph and Zasit for the audience.As the audience listened, surprise and admiration rippled through the hall.

    Joseph didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he took a moment to consider.“Since Mr. Craig has chosen a foreign love song, I will also choose a love-themed classic from Elysia.”“I’ll play the piano piece Butterfly Lovers.”He spoke calmly, but with conviction.“Butterfly Lovers? What an outdated, cliché piece. How utterly provincial,” Lewis Craig sneered, scoffing with disdain under his breath.“Oh, Butterfly Lovers? I know it. I’ve heard it... it’s beautiful!”Zasit, after a moment’s struggle to catch the key words in Joseph’s sentence, suddenly lit up. In his excitement, he blurted out one of the few phrases he knew in Elysian.“Sir, I know this piece. It’s famous—a tragic love story. If you can perform it, whether it’s perfect or flawed, my journey today will be complete.”He spoke in French, his Elysian heavily accented and broken, clearly limited in vocabulary.“Mr. Zasit said he knows the piece Butterfly Lovers and is familiar with its sorrowful tale of love,” the host translat
