Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Awakened from a dream, You Mingyue became even more anxious.

You Mingyue cared about too many things, and her mind was already chaotic. When her fingers touched the piano, she could no longer find that honest and devoted love she once had for it.

As a pianist, how could she create an excellent and perfect piano composition after losing her passion for the piano?

The more she lacked inspiration, the more anxious You Mingyue became, and the more anxious she was, the more tense her mind became.

This vicious cycle made her unable to sleep at night, her inspiration exhausted.

Tonight was the final deadline for You Mingyue to submit her second original piano composition. If she fails to produce a perfect work, Luo Muni and her agent will surely feel disappointed in her.

By then, could she still maintain her title as the piano prodigy?

Luo Muni and Mrs. Chu were senior and junior schoolmates. If Luo no longer recognized her talent, then Mrs. Chu would surely be disappointed in her as well.

Could she still be together with Chu Zimu?

Seeing that Chu Ziling, the stumbling block, was about to return, You Mingyue dared not take the gamble.

What should she do?

You Mingyue was in a frenzy.

Meanwhile, Luo Muni kept waiting for You Mingyue in the studio.

He waited from noon until seven in the evening but didn’t see any sign of You Mingyue, and she hadn’t even called to give an explanation.

Luo Muni wasn’t sure what the situation was on You Mingyue’s end, and couldn’t help but make a call to her.

When the phone rang, You Mingyue’s eyelids twitched violently.

She resisted looking at the caller’s information, but her gaze uncontrollably drifted towards the phone’s screen.

Seeing the name ’Teacher Luo,’ You Mingyue’s tense nerves suddenly broke.

She seemed crazed, grabbing the phone and flinging it towards the wall. With a loud crash, the phone screen shattered into pieces, and the phone shut down immediately.

The deathly ringing finally ceased.

Staring blankly at the phone on the ground, it took a moment for You Mingyue to realize what she’d done. She quickly got up from the piano stool and rushed over to pick up the phone.

Finding the phone completely unusable, You Mingyue became even more furious.

The broken phone was just like her current state of creative exhaustion.

At that moment, the housekeeper suddenly knocked on the door of the piano room. Standing outside, she gently reminded You Mingyue, ”Miss You, Mr. Chu just called me asking why he couldn’t reach your phone?”

You Mingyue calmed herself down and opened the door to go out, casually explaining, ”Earlier, when I was using the bathroom, the phone accidentally fell from the sink and broke.”

Actually, the housekeeper had heard the noise of You Mingyue smashing things in the piano room earlier.

But Miss You is an artist, a celebrity, focusing on her creation. It’s normal for her to encounter bottlenecks and need to smash things to vent her emotions sometimes.

The housekeeper wouldn’t be foolish enough to expose You Mingyue’s lie. She took out her own phone, handed it to You Mingyue, and said caringly, ”Mr. Chu is very worried about you and asked you to call him back.”

”Okay.”

You Mingyue walked to the balcony, looking at the view of the Yujiang River in Yujiang City below, and dialed Chu Zimu’s number.

Chu Zimu was apparently waiting for her return call on the other end, and as soon as the call was dialed, he picked up.

He worriedly asked You Mingyue, ”Ming Yue, why couldn’t I get through to your phone? Haven’t you gone to Teacher Luo yet? Teacher Luo is worried something might have happened to you and even called me.”

Chu Zimu only knew that Luo Muni was his mother’s junior when he received the call from Luo Muni.

Hearing that Luo Muni had even called Chu Zimu, You Mingyue felt even more restless, but she couldn’t let Chu Zimu notice her bad mood.

You Mingyue repeated the explanation she had given the housekeeper, ”The phone broke when I was washing my hands.”

”It’s okay if the phone’s broken; I’ll have someone send a new one to you.” Chu Zimu let go of his worries and reminded her, ”Teacher Luo is still waiting for you in the studio. When do you plan to go?”

You Mingyue felt suffocated.

She pretended to be calm and said, ”I’ll go later, Brother Chu, I have some things to deal with here, so I can’t talk now.”

Knowing that You Mingyue was distressed over her original piano composition recently, Chu Zimu was very understanding. ”Alright, focus on your work. We’ll see each other tonight.”

”Okay.”

After hanging up, You Mingyue irritably ran her fingers through her hair.

She currently couldn’t write anything. What could she possibly present to Luo Muni!
