Chapter 264 They Came Just for Kyla!
The appearance of Justin and Kayden saved Kyla from feeling embarrassed. The main reason was that these two brothers were super talented and famous around the world. Most importantly, they came just for Kyla! If it wasn’t for her, there’s no way people of their status would come to a university orientation party.
The piano started to play. It was fast and exciting. A beautiful duet filled the entire hall. Everyone was completely focused, lost in the music.
Music has no borders. At the same time, it has its own magic. When real masters play, music can speak straight to the heart. That’s exactly what Justin and Kayden were doing. No lyrics, just the piano. And that’s why the audience could get totally absorbed. They could almost imagine a sun rising in their mind, shining bright light across the world.
Honestly, Justin, the winner of the Best Newcomer Award in the International Piano Competition, was definitely better at playing the piano than Kayden. But Kayden was a world–famous composer, and could play every instrument with ease. Each brother had his own exceptional talent in music. Both had perfect pitch. In this original piano piece, they played perfectly together, completely in sync. With the piano, they were speaking the words of their hearts. They were shaking their beliefs! Everyone couldn’t help but think: with these two together, they could take over the music world! Not just in Cetherland, but even around the world. They were unstoppable.
When the song finished, the audience was still lost in the beauty of the music. It took a little while for everyone to come back to reality. Then, the applause came. It echoed endlessly through the entire hall.
As the third son of the Jensons, Justin took the microphone.
“Thank you all for listening to me and my fourth brother, Kayden, play. This was an original piano piece by Kayden called ‘Sunshine Within.’”
“Kayden doesn’t like talking much, so I’ll explain. I’m sure some of you already guessed. The reason we came to this orientation party and asked the university to keep it a secret was to surprise our sister, Kyla! We watched Kyla’s performance just now. She was probably too nervous and made some mistakes. She’s still young, and she has so much potential. I hope everyone can be understanding.”
“Kyla, I’ll tell you a secret. When I entered my first piano competition, I was so nervous that I was eliminated in the first round. It was super embarrassing. Remember this failure and learn from them. Failure is the key to success. Only by failing can you achieve something even better next time!”
It was exactly what everyone had expected. But when Justin said it, it wasn’t just a statement. It felt like he was setting the rules for everyone. Even if Kyla failed and couldn’t match Tilda, Justin and Kayden still saw her as their most important sister. She would always come first. No one else could come close. The Jensons adored her. Even if she messed up completely, she was still their most treasured little sister! No one could ever take her place!
Kayden stood quietly next to Justin and nodded.
“Justin… Kayden…” Kyla was already crying as she watched. She felt surrounded by warmth. All the pain from failing, the frustration, and the sadness seemed to vanish at that moment.
“Thank you, thank you so much… Wade, thank you too.”
Kyla couldn’t hold back any longer. She hugged Wade tightly. In his arms, she cried, letting out all her gratitude. Wade tensed for a moment, but he forced himself to stay calm.
Even if he had mixed feelings inside, this wasn’t the time to push her away.
“Tilda, that’s enough. Let’s go.” Una couldn’t bear to watch any longer. She tried to pull Tilda away. Even though Tilda didn’t show any emotion, this was the kind of family love she had always wanted. Seeing Justin and Kayden for the “first time” and seeing them speak up at the orientation party for Kyla, their affection for her was clear. Kyla was overjoyed, but Tilda was the one hurting. Una didn’t even dare to imagine that.
If it had been the old Tilda, seeing this scene would have been unbearable. Fortunately, Tilda had already severed ties with the Jensons. She was done with them, so at least her heart didn’t hurt so much.
Just as Tilda was about to speak, Justin spoke again from the stage. “The next piano song, ‘Eternal Moonlight,’ is for another sister–Tilda Jenson. Welcome back, Tilda, to our family! Tilda, Kayden and I just watched your speech. It was wonderful. We’re so proud to have a younger sister like you!”
The moment he said that…
