Victoria sat in front of the violin, fiddling with her left hand and plucking with her right. With a gentle flick of her index finger, the ancient violin resonated with profound and expansive tones.
This depth surpassed the typical violin, evoking a sense of ancient times.
It was truly befitting one of the ten renowned instruments.
Victoria's eyes brightened, immersing herself even more in the enchanting melody.
Jack gazed at Victoria who was immersed in it, and his cold and misty eyebrows were stained with warmth.
He knew that the song 'Muted Sunrise' was the first song written by Victoria. It was released on the Internet under the name of SG. Its popularity surged upon release, sparking a 'Muted Sunrise' craze.
The song 'Muted Sunrise' can be played on various instruments, but the most suitable one is the violin.
Progressing from melodious to fervent, it conveyed unique and intense emotions.
Jack, having listened to it countless times privately, had the score etched in his memory.
Beside them, John, even after Victoria finished, couldn't contain his admiration, "Victoria, your play has gained even more charm. I've heard many renowned musicians play the Violin, but none match the elegance of your performance!"
Victoria smiled modestly, "Grandfather, you flatter me."
John was insistent, "I don't praise lightly. Your performance is truly exceptional! Victoria, do you like this Violin?"
"I like it very much, thank you."
"Great! As long as you like it, then the gift is worthwhile!"
John laughed heartily and pulled Victoria up affectionately, as if he had something to say to her, momentarily leaving his grandson behind.
Neglected, Jack sighed inwardly.
After lunch, John returned to the old house.
Victoria stowed the violin. The thousand-year-old Violin needed to be kept properly. After storing it, she returned to the living room and met Jack's persistent gaze.
His eyes, dark and profound, seemed to have been fixated on her for a while.
Victoria's heart skipped a beat as she stared back proudly, "What are you looking at?"
Hearing this, the man laughed lightly and sat on the sofa lazily. His long legs were elegantly folded, and he waved to her, "Come here."
Victoria stood her ground, "If I go over just because you tell me to, will you come over here?"
Jack raised his eyebrows and stood up suddenly.
Victoria muttered.
As Jack approached, Victoria shot him a cool glance and deliberately walked towards the sofa.
She didn't want to get too close to this enigmatic man.
Victoria walked to the sofa and sat down.
Jack raised his eyebrows and the corner of his mouth curled up.
Seeing his return, Victoria promptly stood up, creating distance between them.
In the next moment, his hand reached out, gently resting on her shoulder. His deep gaze lowered to meet hers, his voice resonating with clarity, "Why run away? Am I going to eat you?"
Victoria's heart tightened, meeting his gaze defiantly, "Why are you staring at me ?"
He laughed lazily, tilting his head and extending the bitten corner of his mouth towards her, "When you were biting me, I didn't see you complaining.
Victoria retorted, "Stop talking nonsense. I just don't want to see your bitten mouth."
He paused, seemingly reminiscing, "Let me think, you bit me at least three times last night."
Victoria widened her eyes in disbelief.
"I remembered, bit me at least three times..."
Before he could finish speaking, Victoria reached out and covered his mouth like a startled cat, both embarrassed and shy, "You're talking too much!"
