Chapter 578: What's Your Persona?

After finishing a piece, Qing An added a lingering high note; his bearing made those who didn't understand music think it was high-class.

When the last note faded, he patted the keys and let the innocent piano be.

Then he bounced back to his sister, wearing an expression that said 'waiting to be praised,' and asked, 'How was it? How was it? Sis?'

Mu Youyu blinked, then led the applause, saying, 'Beautiful, Qing An brother, you're really amazing.'

Jiang Liangjin clapped along, saying, 'Qing An brother, this famous piece is full of artistic flair; it's absolutely a unique style ordinary people can't play.'

Mu Xi: '……'

Qing An automatically filtered out the subtle meaning in their words, feeling he'd finally shown off successfully: 'I told you! I practiced for an hour!'

The other brothers tacitly stayed silent; unless their sister coaxed them to play, they usually wouldn't praise.

Mu Xi couldn't help but ask, 'You practiced for an hour?'

In an hour you can play that badly?

Qing An nodded, 'Yeah, I deliberately chose this piece.'

Mu Xi didn't know where to start evaluating.

Qing An kept talking to himself, 'If little Xi wants to learn, I can teach you.'

Teach this professional?

Mu Xi felt disdain inside but didn't show it, only saying sarcastically, 'You really are talented.'

Mu Youyu finally couldn't help but turn her head, burying her face in Jiang Liangjin's shoulder and laughing.

Jiang Liangjin lowered his head, his chin lightly brushing her hair, smiling and saying, 'Ah Yu, if you want to listen, I will too.'

Mu Youyu lifted her head, eyes still smiling, 'Sure, when Ah Jin plays alone for me, I can laugh by myself.'

Qing An came over chuckling, 'Right, right, I also think I'm quite talented.'

Qing Wei, afraid his brother would catch the hidden meaning, rushed to smooth things over: 'Being able to calm down and play for an hour is already strong; it's the first step toward success.'

Ruo Ya: 'Yes.'

Mu Xianqi, who had come over, whispered to Ruo Ya, 'He actually can play the piano? I thought he only knew how to use a trumpet.'

Ruo Ya said, 'He's hiding his talent.'

Mu Xianqi gave a terse 'Fine,' and said no more.

Ruo Ya waved her hand, 'Alright, go rest; the piano can stay as is.'

Qing An hummed satisfied, raised his chin a few degrees, went to Jun Chenling, and asked, 'How about it, am I doing a good job as this brother?'

Jun Chenling saw his childhood friend's smug look, sighed inwardly, started worrying about his brains, wondering if he really hadn't been bullied by others in M Country these past few months.

Unfortunately, because there are many people here, arguing with him would damage his image, so he politely said, 'Your Highness Qing An is extraordinarily gifted; this piece should only be heard in heaven.'

Qing An became even more pleased.

Ruo Ya and Qing Wei simultaneously thought the same thing: 'How did Xun Li's mouth suddenly get better?'

Song Yusui swayed over, patted Qing An's shoulder, and said, 'Little kid, you played not bad; even my grandma would praise you for being childlike.'

Qing An immediately became unhappy, 'What do you mean, Suisu! I've practiced a long time; can't you have some discernment?'

Song Yusui laughed, spread his hands, stopped teasing him, and turned to find his own friends.

Lu Yuchu sat on the nearby folding chair, holding an unlit sparkler.

Song Yan walked over from the barbecue area with two cups of juice, sat down nearby, placed one cup beside him, and said, 'Brother, aren't you eating anything?'

Lu Yuchu: 'We'll talk later.'

'Oh okay, by the way, brother,' Song Yan replied, then immediately turned serious, cleared his throat, and said, 'The investment for my drama… you get it?'

Lu Yuchu resigned, 'I've already arranged people to invest; it's just a matter of these two days.'

Song Yan finally relaxed and went to find his sister.

On the other side, Song Huaixian saw Song LuXiao sitting in the barbecue area, his eyes shifting, and said, 'LuXiao brother, why don't you grill a little white rabbit to eat?'

Song LuXiao, who hadn't provoked him lately, immediately darkened his face: 'Are you asking for a beating?'

Song Huaixian chuckled, took half a step back, 'I'm just asking; today's a good day, LuXiao brother~ don't get angry.'

Song Lujing quietly shifted farther away on the side, afraid of getting caught up.

……

Having sat enough, Mu Yichen saw fewer people around his sister, walked over, and said gently, 'Sister, remember to come directly to us if you need anything.'

Mu Yichi followed behind, 'Yeah, no need to be polite; Qing An seems unreliable, so don't look for him in the future.'

Mu Youyu obediently replied, 'Okay, brother.'

Hearing that, Qing An only felt they were truly hateful, but because of the aura of the two Mu Yichen brothers, he didn't dare approach to say anything.

Mu Yichi touched his sister's pink hair and whispered, 'If he dares to make you unhappy, remember the brothers have plenty of weapons here.'

He and his brother and the other brothers are different; the two of them have hardly interfered with their sister's feelings from start to finish.

Thinking, the sister is still young, at the age when she loves to play; who she likes and wants to be with, they don't interfere much.

No matter who she ends up with in the end, it's that person's fortune.

No matter who she ends up with in the end, it's that person's fortune.

Mu Yichi glanced sideways at Jiang Liangjin without thinking.

However, if anyone dares to wrong the sister, they have plenty of ways to make that person suffer.

Mu Youyu, surrounded by several people, smiled and said, 'I know.'

Weapons?

Jiang Liangjin's eyelid twitched, 'Older brother Chi, I can't.'

Mu Yichen's expression was calm, 'Hopefully.'

Mu Yichi put on a fake smile, 'Hopefully not.'

After the two brothers turned and walked away, Jiang Liangjin tilted his head, lowered his voice, his tone carrying a hint of feigned fright: "Ah You, the brothers are so fierce."

Mu Xi, Mu Xin: "……"

Nearby friends: "No way, bro, what's your persona?"

Mu Youyu's protective urge surged; she reached out and patted his head, "Don't be afraid, older sister will protect you."

Jiang Liangjin was patted a few times on the hair, he lifted his head to look at her, the corner of his mouth pressing into a slight arc: "Older sister?"

Mm-hmm.

He looked at her smug little Expression, didn't retort further, just reached out to take her hand from his head, holding it in his palm and giving it a squeeze.

"Alright, then how do you plan to protect me, older sister?"

"I'll stand in front of you."

Mu Youyu felt him pinch her fingertip; out of the corner of her eye she saw a few more brothers looking this way, suddenly feeling a bit embarrassed.

She tried to pull her hand back, but couldn't, cleared her throat, and opened with a change of topic: "Let's go check out the muddy area."
