The ensemble of Gu Yuan and Lin Meiyue was indeed very successful. However, Gu Yuan's piano was the main character while her violin was merely an accompaniment…
Gu Yuan had never thought of trying to improvise with Lin Meiyue; he played according to his tempo. In the beginning, it seemed like he was venting his anger out. Then, he thought of his mother, who loved him the most, again and not his inner demons.
The reason his mother had treated him so strictly was due to the fact that she was running out of time. She felt that desperate urgency. She hoped that he could perform according to the taste of the judges. The more prizes he won, the more popular he would become. At least, he could make a living by playing the piano.
As they performed, Lin Meiyue felt for the first time, the stark difference between her and "Chu Luoxun." She simply could not attain that synchronicity that Chu Luoxun had with Gu Yuan in music. She was just a makeweight.
