The Prodigy Boy Is Actually A 25 Old Girl!?

As long as Kaylee could remember, ever since she became Roe, no one has criticized her playing. That's because her solo piano performance was so breathtaking that one found it hard to see its flaw.

Plus, Kaylee is a soul player, so no one would be able to criticize her due to her playing always succeed in reaching one's deepest soul.

Even when she did something wrong during practice, the conductor would neither criticize nor blame her. Even though Kaylee wanted to ask for opinions or suggestions, no one gave it as if they were all afraid to offend her.

The only person who dared to admonish and insinuate her play was that 'person.'

However, Declan proved her wrong as the man criticize her piano playing even after he admitted he couldn't take his eyes off her performance.

"I think you're right. But I didn't expect you to say it like that blatantly."

Declan smiled softly at that. "Hasn't anyone reprimanded you before?"

Kaylee shook her head. "Either because they are afraid that I will be offended and scold them or because they just don't know what's wrong with my playing. No one told me my fault or blamed me when I made a mistake."

"Maybe because your play is perfect. Plus, it's rare for people to tell the difference between a soul player or not."

"Can you tell the difference?"

Declan nodded his head in answer. "That's easy enough."

"Seriously? It's weird. I can't tell the difference at all. How do you do that?"

"I'll teach it to you another time."

That means there will be the next meeting... er... date after tonight. Why does Kaylee feel that Declan is leading her on his hidden trap?

"Declan, if you were NYA pianist and knew this weakness, what would you do?"

The man smirked when he heard Kaylee's question, which indirectly asked for an opinion to cover up the weakness of an overly perfect appearance.

"Asking one of your rivals for advice, what reward do I get if I tell you?"

Kaylee cleared her throat a few times, and for some reason, that man's devilish smirk gave goosebump to her whole body.

"I… I…" flustered Kaylee, not knowing what to say anymore.

Declan chuckled, seeing the flustered face of his tiny lover, and decided to end his teasing. It looked like the girl would faint right away if he continued it.

"I am just kidding. I will tell you if you ask my advice. You don't have to hesitate to ask me for anything." stated Declan in a firm and gentle tone, making Kaylee's heart melt. "Do you know who composed Wonderful Day?"

Kaylee nodded her head. "I know. Sandy Zhou, a composer and songwriter from Singapore-China, was born in 1990 and died at fifty due to a rare disease."

"Then, do you know his goal of creating this song?"

Kaylee tried to dig into her memory when she learned this song's history when the conductor asked the members to learn it. Each musician must understand the character and purpose of the music they play to know how to perform it properly.

That's why, before the practice session for this song started, each member had to find out the background for this song themselves. Who created it, what is the purpose and for whom this song was created.

"I know the composer created this song to welcome the birth of his son that he had been waiting for. His wife had miscarriages five times. He wrote this song and played it to his pregnant wife. Miraculously, her womb didn't weaken like before, and their first child was born healthy."

"Correct. Can you imagine the feeling of someone who prays for the safety of others and can't wait to meet that person?"

Kaylee thought about the question Declan had asked and tried to imagine that she was Sandy Zhou. She did pray for the health of her parents and all the people she loved. She also prayed for their safety as they all travel overseas by plane or train.

But she never had anyone she wanted so badly to meet, let alone hope to see that person soon. So she doesn't know how it feels.

Well, she indeed was eager to meet Black Moon, but she never expected her dream would come true one day.

"That… I can't imagine it. How about you? Have you ever experienced it?"

"Hm. I've experienced it."

Declan's answer surprised Kaylee made her wonder who the hell was it that Declan was dying to meet.

"The feelings Sandy felt when accompanying his wife's pregnancy process were anxiety, fear, worry, but at the same time, he became more impatient to see his baby every day. He played various kinds of serene songs to keep his wife in a good mood and well condition while trying his best to make her happy. Right on the day his wife gave birth and heard the sound of her baby crying..."

"He felt immense joy that words cannot describe." interrupted Kaylee, now beginning to understand what the creator felt, making Declan smile.

"Exactly. Being too excited and enthusiastic, a bunch of music and melodies popped into his head, and his brain seemed to sing every time he looked at the face of his newborn baby."

Hearing Declan's words made Kaylee's heart rejoice as if she had witnessed Sandy's face, laughing with satisfaction and joy when holding the newborn baby for the first time.

But there was still one thing she didn't understand.

"Now I understand how Sandy felt when he created this song. But I still don't understand what it has to do with our play being too perfect."

Declan smiled crookedly at this and could not help but tease this innocent girl. "If you were my student on campus, I would make this your essay assignment."

"But I'm not your student," Kaylee muttered softly while drinking her water.

"Indeed. You are my wife…"

Spurt! Kaylee choked on her drink, hearing this. Not his lover, but now she is his wife?!

"That's why I will tell you right now." Declan didn't give Kaylee a chance to react and continued his words, making Kaylee couldn't help but listened to his words attentively like an obedient little wife.

"You are all professional players and consider technique and perfection was the most important things. That's not wrong, but not entirely true either. You are more focused on not making mistakes than on conveying what Sandy Zhou wanted to transmit."

"Joy? That's it!" A nod from the man followed Kaylee's remark. "Thank you very much. This time I know what I have to do. I owe you a huge one."

"I did it for free, but if you feel indebted…" Declan leaned forward to bring the two closer together, which made Kaylee even more nervous in her place. "You can buy me lunch tomorrow."

Gulp!

Tomorrow?? They already have met starting on Tuesday, Wednesday and today, and now the man also asked her to meet again on Friday. Plus, this time, the man asked her to lunch instead of dinner?

Wouldn't the length of their meeting be longer than usual?

"Declan…" muttered Kaylee softly and barely made a sound, but Declan could still hear her.

"Yes?"

"You said... you said you would take it slowly."

"I did."

"But, isn't this too fast? I mean… we don't need to meet every day." Moreover, they will meet again on Saturday at Mister Black senior's birthday.

"I think it's considerably slow."

Ha??

'If this is slow… then what are you going to do if you do it fast?' thought Kaylee without realizing it; she voiced her inner mind!

"I'll take you home to your parents to ask your hand in marriage."

Gasp! Kaylee didn't know whether her face could get hotter than this or not because she was so sure she could boil an egg and get it cooked in a matter of seconds!

Declan leaned forward even more so that the faces of the two were only inches away.

"Besides, love. There is one thing you should know that I am holding back."

"Wh... What?"

Declan turned to the side as if he wanted to show her something to make the girl also turned her head to see what the man wanted to show.

Kaylee's black eyes widened when she saw a pair of lovers kissing affectionately without paying attention to the people around them.

This country is indeed a liberal country, and not least Kaylee found lots of couples who are making out knew no time and place. But Kaylee was an innocent girl who never did intimate skinship with the opposite gender, let alone making out brazenly like that.

Declan was the first man who dared to touch her and hold her hand openly without asking permission.

Now that man is trying to tell her he's holding back from… not kissing her!?

Kaylee turned her head back to withdraw the intimate scene, but she had no idea that this time Declan's face was getting closer to her.

Now that she turned her head back, their two noses were touching!
