Chapter 100

Wu Wu Guangren looked at her and said meaningfully.

“Heh heh, you really know how to protect people.”

“Fine, since you’ve come, letting you leave empty-handed would make our Piano Department seem like we don’t know how to treat guests.”

“Jian Mingcheng!”

“Teacher Wu, I’m here!” A male student stood up and said respectfully.

Wu Wu Guangren said casually.

“You are also one of the contestants for this exchange activity with Berkeley, so why don’t you practice with this young lady first.”

“Okay, teacher.” The male student walked out with a calm expression.

He reached out to make a “please” gesture and said lightly.

“Teacher Deng, guests are guests, please go first?”

Things having reached this point, Deng Deng Deng Ziqi was helpless.

She sat slowly in front of the piano, placed her ten fingers on the keys, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down.

Her ten fingers danced, jumping rapidly on the keys.

A beautiful melody flowed out slowly.

This was a widely circulated piece of classical music in this world.

I have to say, as a professional musician, Deng Deng Deng Ziqi’s reputation is not unearned.

Her piano level is actually quite good.

Even many teachers and students on the scene showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

It seems to be better than imagined.

……

In the livestream, praises were already rising everywhere.

“Deng Deng Ziqi is really a treasure singer. She sings well, and she plays the piano so well too?”

“Love it, love it. I only knew Deng Deng Ziqi could play the piano before, I didn’t expect her to play so well?”

“I finally understand. I was wondering why Su Meng dared to come to the Piano Department to crash the party. It turns out he has so much confidence in Deng Deng Deng Ziqi?”

“Please, this is the Piano Department of the Imperial Music Academy! Deng Deng Deng Ziqi plays well among singers, but here? Heh heh…”

“Based on my understanding of Master Su, he definitely won’t put all his eggs in Deng Deng Deng Ziqi’s basket. He still has to rely on his own suona!”

“The happier you are now, the more painfully you’ll cry later. Once the suona comes out, everyone will cry for me. I don’t accept any rebuttals!”

“The betting is open. Guess if it’s ‘The Grand Funeral’ or ‘The Peaceful Road to the West’?”

“Suona vs. Piano, interesting.”

……

After the piece was finished, Wu Wu Guangren nodded slightly.

“Not bad, it’s quite good.”

“However, playing the piano requires a calm mind and full devotion.”

“You had distracting thoughts just now and were too nervous. Your mindset still needs adjustment.”

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi stood up quickly and bowed respectfully.

“Thank you for your guidance, teacher.”

Wu Wu Guangren nodded and turned to Jian Mingcheng.

“Mingcheng, let me test you. What problems were there in terms of technique just now?”

Jian Mingcheng thought for a moment and said.

“I heard six problems.”

“First, the harmony color matching is not full enough.”

“Second, during the variation…”

“Third… fourth… fifth… sixth…”

A long string of professional terms came out of his mouth, leaving the netizens in the livestream completely confused.

Why do I understand every word when taken apart, but I don’t understand them when put together?

Wu Wu Guangren nodded, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his face.

“Not bad, your basic skills are very solid, and you’ve identified most of the problems.”

“In addition, the handling of the tail notes was still a bit inappropriate in tone, and the emotional expression was out of control.”

“You occasionally make this kind of mistake too.”

“Okay, teacher, I will definitely study hard.” Jian Mingcheng didn’t know if he really understood, but he agreed immediately.

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi, however, was completely confused.

Many netizens in the livestream were the same.

Why is this getting more and more mysterious? Even emotional expression is involved?

Has your piano become sentient?

……

Su Meng, who had been ignored for a long time, suddenly chuckled and interjected.

“Deng Deng Ziqi, did you not understand?”

“This thing is actually the same principle as playing the suona, and it’s not much different from talking normally.”

“Just like if I ask you, ‘Have you eaten?’”

“If you put the emphasis on the last word ‘ma’, it makes it sound very awkward.”

“So that’s how it is!” Deng Deng Deng Ziqi suddenly realized.

“If you had said that earlier, wouldn’t I have understood? Why make it sound so mysterious…”

“Ah, sorry teacher, I’m too stupid and didn’t grasp your teaching.”

Wu Wu Guangren didn’t pay attention to her, but looked at Su Meng with slight surprise.

“I underestimated you.”

“But suona and piano… heh heh…”

He still ended his speech with “heh heh” and turned to Jian Mingcheng again.

“Mingcheng, you play a short piece too, let me see if you’ve made any progress recently.”

His attitude made many netizens in the livestream frown.

Many netizens still had a good impression of Deng Deng Deng Ziqi.

Crashing the party this time was Su Meng’s fault, but Deng Deng Deng Ziqi’s attitude was still good.

But looking at this posture, they didn’t take this celebrity seriously at all?

A high-and-mighty, arrogant appearance.

They said it was an exchange, but after watching for a long time, weren’t they just teaching their own students?

So damn infuriating!

……

Jian Mingcheng also sat down at the piano and played a piece.

Actually, for ordinary people, they can’t tell the difference in the quality of their playing technique at all.

Instead, because Deng Deng Deng Ziqi is good-looking, everyone felt she played better.

Um… I’m a fan of looks, no problem!

After the piece was finished, Wu Wu Guangren gave his routine comments and continued.

“Alright, today’s exchange activity ends here. It can be considered a draw.”

“Everyone, get ready for class.”

Holy crap!

Su Meng was immediately unhappy. I’m standing here as a big person, and you’re acting like you don’t see me, right?

“Director Wu, since I’m the one who came to crash the party, shouldn’t you arrange for someone to communicate with me next?”

“You?” Wu Wu Guangren didn’t even lift his eyelids.

“We don’t have anyone here who can play the suona, only people who can play the piano.”

“You’ve come to the wrong place.”

“Heh heh…” Su Meng smiled meaningfully and said lightly.
