She sings well, and she plays the piano so well too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Love it, love it. I only knew Deng Deng Ziqi could play the piano before, I didn’t expect her to play so well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I finally understand.

Why make it sound so mysterious…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, sorry teacher, I’m too stupid and didn’t grasp your teaching.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wu Guangren didn’t pay attention to her, but looked at Su Meng with slight surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I underestimated you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But suona and piano… heh heh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still ended his speech with “heh heh” and turned to Jian Mingcheng again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mingcheng, you play a short piece too, let me see if you’ve made any progress recently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attitude made many netizens in the livestream frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many netizens still had a good impression of Deng Deng Deng Ziqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crashing the party this time was Su Meng’s fault, but Deng Deng Deng Ziqi’s attitude was still good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at this posture, they didn’t take this celebrity seriously at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-and-mighty, arrogant appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They said it was an exchange, but after watching for a long time, weren’t they just teaching their own students?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So damn infuriating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Mingcheng also sat down at the piano and played a piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, for ordinary people, they can’t tell the difference in the quality of their playing technique at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, because Deng Deng Deng Ziqi is good-looking, everyone felt she played better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Um… I’m a fan of looks, no problem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the piece was finished, Wu Wu Guangren gave his routine comments and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, today’s exchange activity ends here.
