Chapter 73 -73: Shengbao’s Second Alter Ego Appears

It’s Osborne.

Lu Sheng hadn’t been in touch with him for several months, so she was a bit surprised to see his email and clicked on it with her mouse.

[Dear Rosy, I haven’t received any new compositions from you recently and I wonder what you have been busy with.]

[I have been taking the pills you sent for almost two months now and have basically regained my vitality, is there any chance to thank you in person?]

[I have some good news to share with you: I saw a video online of a Chinese girl performing my piece “Summer Forest” at a banquet, and I really appreciate her.]

[I plan to find this girl, so I have set my next travel destination to be Jiang City in China.]

[I remember you are also in China, would you be available to meet with me?]

[The feeling of the girl’s performance is very similar to the ones in the recordings you have been sending me, she reminds me of you.]

[I have always been looking forward to meeting you and await your reply eagerly.]

After reading the email, Lu Sheng raised her head.

About a year ago, when Lu Sheng was still known as Bai Qiang, she met Osborne.

At that time, Osborne had just celebrated his fifty-eighth birthday and was suffering from severe insomnia and anxiety, unable to write any music due to a complete lack of inspiration.

But he was a person who demanded a lot from himself, insisting on creating every day.

So, he had his assistant collect original piano compositions online, hoping that other people’s creativity could inspire him. If he liked any, the piece would be included as a special track in his new album.

For piano professionals and enthusiasts, having their composition included in the album of world-renowned pianist Osborne was the highest honor.

So at the time, there were probably a few thousand people from all over the world submitting their work to Osborne’s email, among whom was Lu Sheng.

Her composition called “Daytime Fireworks”, was seen as nothing short of a miracle by Osborne at the time, and it excited him immensely.

After the album was released, the name Rosy became instantly famous around the world.

Because the piece was just too beautiful!

It wasn’t because the formal structure or harmonic fabric was particularly complex, or that there was an intentional display of technical prowess, but it contained an immense power.

The beginning marched forward decisively and contained within it unfettered ease, the middle accelerated with a playful and spirited exuberance, the ending took a swift turn downward into a long and roundabout recovery, concluding in a definitive and uplifting resolution.

As soon as the piece was released, some analyzed that “Daytime Fireworks” actually referred to the flames and smoke of war.

From the moment the first note was played, listeners were transported into a whole new world, as if they were personally amidst the chaos of battle.

The passionate melody was like fierce bombardment, the rapid descent evoked images of ruins and rubble after wars, and the final firmness reignited hope from despair, symbolizing a yearning for peace.

Everyone’s mood and situation differed, and so did their interpretation of music.

But for “Daytime Fireworks”, whether Rosy was actually alluding to the brutalities of war or not, everyone felt an enduring and heartening force.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as stunning.

The piece has been widespread around the world, and up until now, there are still people curious about who this Rosy really is.

But not to mention the netizens, even Osborne himself knew nothing about her real name, age, identity, or even gender, aside from the name Rosy and her email.

It was only through the email exchanges with Rosy that he learned she was Chinese.

Lu Sheng was slightly taken aback by what Osborne mentioned in his email.

— This was just too coincidental.

She greatly admired Osborne, so that night when Lu Qianrou schemed to have her perform on stage last minute, the first piece that came to mind was “Summer Forest”.

She never expected that the video would be caught by Osborne himself.

Indeed, Osborne was quite keen to meet her; in the emails over the past year, he had mentioned it no less than ten times. He even said that if she came to the UK, he would personally pick her up from the airport.

Such attention was probably unimaginable to others—akin to an emperor personally going to the city gate to welcome a commoner.

Osborne, being a musical prodigy, saw her as a genius as well. So he cherished her with a respect that transcended external factors such as age, status, or gender.

He wanted to see her, and he also wanted to hear her perform live.

The reason she had not agreed before was because she had been secluded in the mountains over the past year, deliberately avoiding contact with the outside world; hence it was inconvenient to meet anybody.

But now that she had changed bodies, there was nothing to hinder a meeting.

So Lu Sheng replied: [Sorry Osborne, I just saw your email. Speaking of which, it’s really a coincidence, the girl in the video you saw is actually me.]

It was two o’clock in the morning in China, and seven in the evening in the UK. Osborne was having dinner.

Osborne knew it was rest time in China when he sent the email, so he did not expect a reply right away.

Suddenly receiving a notification, he saw that Rosy had replied and immediately got excited.

And upon opening the email and seeing the content, he was so excited that his fork dropped onto his plate.

[!!! Is this true?]

[Rosy, you are the beautiful girl in the video??]

Osborne had been learning Chinese since his youth, so he could speak and write it very well, and he had always corresponded with Lu Sheng in Chinese.

Lu Sheng replied: [Yes, my real name is Sheng Lu and I am seventeen years old this year.]

[Osborne, if you come to Jiang City, you can dial this number: 177XXXXXXXX.]

[As a host, I can help you arrange a hotel and travel itinerary, and take you to taste Chinese cuisine.]

Seeing Lu Sheng’s reply, Osborne was simply beside himself with excitement.

Or rather, he had never looked forward to a trip so much!

[Oh my God, I am still in shock and excitement right now.]

[Rosy, or should I say Sheng, my assistant will arrange the hotel and travel itinerary for me, but I am very much looking forward to having dinner with you.]

[If that’s the case, let’s meet in Jiang City, China!]

Just as he imagined, this Rosy was indeed a prodigy! She was the Musical Genius Girl!

After replying to the email, Osborne immediately sent a message to his assistant, instructing her to change his flight to Jiang City from next week to tomorrow.

He couldn’t wait to meet this girl named Lu Sheng.

—

After finishing her conversation with Osborne, Lu Sheng closed her laptop.

She turned back to see that Li Muchen, lying on the bed, had frowned at some point, a fine sweat breaking out on his forehead as if he was experiencing some terrible nightmare.

Lu Sheng quickly went over and lay back down under the covers, stretching her hands to embrace the large man trembling slightly in his shoulders.

She wiped the sweat from his forehead, kissed his brow, and gently patted his back to comfort him.

…What is Li Muchen afraid of?

What kind of nightmare is he experiencing?

Lu Sheng didn’t wish to pry into others’ privacy, but the person before her was no longer a stranger.

So she closed her eyes, and placed her palm on Li Muchen’s temple.
