Chapter 1033
Nolan hugged her. “So, how will you express your appreciation?”
Maisie stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips. “This is my favorite gift that I’ve ever received in my life. I’ll
definitely keep it for a
lifetime.”
Nolan kissed her on the forehead and between the eyebrows. “I’m glad as long as you’re happy.”
The next day, flowers were in full bloom in the music academy, and the garden in the academy was filled with
tender verdures. People were walking in the corridors, and several instructors passed by too.
“I heard that Jodie has returned to the academy to be an instructor. But didn’t she major in ballet?”
“So what if she majored in ballet? She won an award as a pianist. She won’t be at a disadvantage even when she
returns to her alma mater as an instructor.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“It’s said that she and Mr. Lucas were students of the same department, and she was the belle of the solo
instrumentation department of the music academy. They would’ve been the perfect couple on campus if they had
got together back then. It’s a pity that the Lucases wanted their son to marry someone who’s equal to him in status
and family background. Not to mention that Mr. Lucas wasn’t interested in finding himself a girlfriend back then.”
Another female instructor tutted and shook her head. “It’s pointless for us to think about it now. Mr. Lucas is now
married, and apparently. Ryleigh Hill is his perfect match. I really can’t understand why Mr.
Lucas would take a fancy to someone from the orchestra department.”
Ryleigh and Ruby were walking down the stairs and just happened to overhear the comments that the instructors of
the solo instruments department were making about Ryleigh.
Ruby frowned and then laughed out loud deliberately. “It’s no wonder that some students from the solo instruments
department are so arrogant and defiant. It turns out that they’ve been taught so. Sure enough, the apples don’t fall
far from the trees.”
The instructors turned their heads and were about to say something, but they saw Ryleigh’s upset expression. Thus,
they muttered something to each other and left in a hurry.
Ruby stared at their backs as those instructors walked away and shook her head. “The sense of superiority of those
who studied in solo instrumentation hasn’t changed one bit after so many years.”
Ryleigh lowered her gaze and said nothing as if she was pondering over something.
In the afternoon, Ryleigh went to Charles’ office and knocked on the door.
After obtaining permission to enter, she pushed the door open and poked half of her head into the room. “Charles.”
Charles put down the teacup, looked away from the newspaper, and raised his head.” Ryleigh, what’s wrong?”
Ryleigh pursed her lips and walked slowly up to the desk. “Is learning to play in an orchestra really not as popular as
learning to perform as a soloist?”
Charles stopped what he was doing for a split second, took off his glasses, and cleaned the lens with his
handkerchief.’ Do you think so too?”
“Of course not.” Ryleigh looked at him sincerely. “I’ve never thought that any orchestra performer is inferior
compared to any solo musician. What we learn to play in an orchestra are usually classical pieces that world-

attracting more attention than solo instrumentation? I just don’t understand…
She lowered her gaze. “What we play are musical instruments too. The symphonies that we put out are a genre of
music too. So why is it that orchestra performers are the only ones who are being restricted and excluded?”
Charles glanced at her for a while and then gave off a smile. “Ryleigh, everybody’s preferences are different. We
can’t force everyone to like an orchestra’s classical performance. The only thing we can do is bring the orchestra’s
world to more young people, promoting the symphonies that those great composers had left behind.”
He stood up, stood in front of the window, and looked into the distance. “I felt as confused as you when the
academy wanted to abolish the orchestra department and focus all their attention on developing the solo
instrumentation department back then. But apart from me, there were so many more people who shared the same
belief that I have who stood up for the charm of the orchestra. As long as we believe that the orchestra has its
value, it’ll never disappear.”
Ryleigh lowered her head. “But the number of people who can persevere in liking the orchestra is getting fewer and
fewer by the day.”
Charles turned to look at her. “Even when everyone’s given up on it, there’s still hope as long as there’s one person
left who’s still insisting on preserving it. The battle is only over when the last person decides to give up too.”
