Chapter 213

"What if I can play the piano?"

Hmm? Everyone's puzzled gazes turned toward him.

You can play the piano?

You, a suona player so earthy you're falling apart, say you can play the piano?

Wu Guangren finally lifted his eyelids to glance at him, still looking utterly calm.

"The piano and the suona are not the same thing, young man, you..."

"Not the same thing?" Su Meng cut him off directly.

"Don't they both make sound? Aren't they both musical instruments?"

"Besides the playing method, how much else is different?"

Wu Guangren snorted coldly and said lightly.

"Young man, you are one who won't cry until you see the coffin."

He glanced at the students again.

"Freshmen of the first year, who is willing to come out and exchange?"

The classroom fell silent at once.

After a moment, an dissatisfied voice suddenly rang out.

"Teacher, are you insulting us?"

His words seemed to ignite the atmosphere on the spot at once.

Many people began to clamor one after another.

Wu Guangren glanced at them and said lightly.

"Lu Liqun, stand up!"

The crowd fell silent at once, and a student stood up timidly.

"Not much ability, but quite a temper."

"If I remember correctly, in the last exam, your major subject was third from the bottom in the whole department, right?"

That student nodded his head, but said resentfully.

"Teacher Wu, although my major subject is average, that depends on who I'm comparing with."

"If you let me compare with this little fresh meat, I'll let him use one hand, okay?"

"Oh." Wu Guangren said "Oh" lightly.

"In that case, then you come on."

"Fine, having suffered setbacks among classmates every day, it's finally my turn to find some confidence."

That student immediately became proud and walked over from the crowd.

Su Meng helplessly sighed, patted his shoulder, and casually stuffed a pack of tissues into his hand.

"This student, it seems your status in the teacher's mind really isn't that great."

"When it comes to being bullied, you're the first one they think of."

???

Several huge question marks suddenly floated above that student's head.

Not only him, but countless question marks also floated in the live broadcast room.

"??? Did I hear wrong? Master Su said he can play the piano?"

"What? Didn't you hear him say the piano and the suona are the same? How the hell are they the same?"

"I get it, Master Su is preparing to launch a piano version of 'The Grand Funeral'!"

"Pfft~~~ A piano version of 'The Grand Funeral', how about that?"

"Boohoo... Finally seeing brother play the piano, no matter the skill level, looking cool is all that matters!"

"As the former leader of the Domineering CEO Fan Club, I formally issue the order: Awaken, the slumbering Domineering CEO Fan Club!"

Su Meng slowly sat in front of the piano and said lightly.

"A while ago I went to the countryside to play the suona for a white funeral, and I saw some wild beehives with many wild bees flying around."

"So I felt something in my heart and wrote a piece called 'Flight of the Bumblebee', please give me your guidance!"

??? While doing a white funeral, you can still write a piano piece?

What connection is there between these two? How is your brain circuitry wired?

Everyone was dumbfounded, but before they could figure it out, Su Meng suddenly moved.

On the black and white keys, a afterimage suddenly stretched out; that was actually caused by his hand speed being too fast.

Dong dong dong... an urgent yet cheerful melody suddenly rang out in the venue and the live broadcast room.

On the keyboard, it seemed dozens of wild bees were flying... no, those weren't wild bees, those were Su Meng's fingers.

Fly fly fly fly, the fingers were flying, stretching out line after line of afterimages.

The dazzling playing speed interpreted a magnificent and rapid melody, leaving everyone stunned.

Deng Ziqi stared fixedly at the keyboard, her mouth gaping so wide it seemed ready to swallow a whale without her noticing.

At this moment, Wu Guangren, although still sitting in the chair, had his face filled with shock.

In the classroom, almost everyone sucked in a cold breath, then subconsciously stood up.

Staring fixedly at Su Meng's hands.

This is... a human hand?

In the live broadcast room, all the bullet comments froze instantly, everyone stared blankly at the screen, completely dumbfounded...

……

This piece, "Flight of the Bumblebee," didn't last long, only a little over a minute.

Su Meng finished playing very quickly and gave Wu Guangren a slight smile.

"Teacher Wu, give us some comments? Teacher Wu? Teacher Wu?"

Wu Guangren suddenly jolted, finally coming back to his senses.

He stood up instinctively, his gaze toward Su Meng having completely changed.

"You... you actually know how to play the piano?"

"How fresh is that?" Su Meng pouted, wearing an expression of utter disdain.

"Who can't learn this thing?"

"It's just too expensive; otherwise, even the suona troupes would worry about the piano stealing their gigs."

"Ah~~~~ Su Meng, you actually know how to play the piano? And play it so well?"

Only at this moment did Deng Ziqi come to her senses; she rushed over, grabbed Su Meng's shoulders, and shook him with all her might.

Her face was flushed with excitement, and she was so agitated she couldn't speak coherently.

"It's falling off, it's falling off, my head is going to fall off." Su Meng, whose head was spinning from the shaking, quickly pushed her away.

Then he smiled at Wu Guangren again.

"Teacher Wu, please give us some comments?"

Me... comment? Wu Guangren was stunned for a moment.

……

By now, the live stream had completely exploded.

"Holy crap! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! Besides 'holy crap,' I don't know what else to say."

"Handsome! So handsome it's exploding, right?! Su Meng is actually this fierce?"

"Not fierce, it's fast! Su Meng is damn fast!"

"Su Meng actually knows how to play the piano? And plays it so awesomely?"

"

……This is the ideal Su Ba-zong, handsome, fierce, and fast!"

"What the hell kind of skill is this? Is the piano burning your hands?"

"I understood this piano piece; it sounds like many bumblebees attacking an enemy, so fiery!"

……

In the Jieti Lecture Hall, Wu Guangren finally recovered, looked deeply at Su Meng, and slowly said.

"Your piano skills... are very strong!"
