Chapter 86 - The huge face-slapping scene, bravo

This b.i.t.c.h is simply fearless at becoming the b.u.t.t of jokes. 

“Xinzi jie, she knows nothing about the piano, so don’t embarra.s.s her further.” He Lian Yi mediated anxiously as Chen Xinzi threw the gauntlet. Even if Lu Xingzhi does know how to play the piano, it’s impossible for her to be her match.

When Chen Xinzi asked Lu Xingzhi to comment on her skills, he actually wanted to intercede.

He’s certain that Chen Xinzi was deliberately trying to embarra.s.s Lu Xingzhi.

“Chen Xinzi, who do you think you are, who are you to order my San Sao to play for you? Are you qualified to order her?” He Lian Xi didn’t know whether Lu Xingzhi could play the piano, but she must defend her.

“Xiao Xi, I only asked her since Miss Lu seemed to be knowledgeable about the piano. If Miss Lu can’t play, I am not forcing her.” Chen Xinzi refuted righteously.

“s.h.i.+huai, don’t you find it strange?” Mo Jinyan whispered out of the blue.

“What’s strange?”

“Chen Xinzi is so provocative, but Jinchen remained indifferent.” Mo Jinyan raised a meaningful eyebrow. There must be a secret there!

“You …” He Lian Xi really wanted to rush over and beat Chen Xinzi, this white lotus.

“Since you’re so clamoring for it, it seems unjustifiable if I refuse to play.” Lu Xingzhi was grateful for He Lian Xi’s defense and gave her a soothing smile.

Then she walked to the piano and sat down.

“Hey, Lu Xingzhi, take it easy. Xinzi jie is a graduate of the Manhattan Musical Academy. She even held several solo piano concerts, so don’t be stubborn.” Although He Lian Yi is not a fan of Lu Xingzhi, he couldn’t help filling her in.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at him and whispered back, “Thank you for reminding me.”

“There’s no way. Xinzi jiejie is skilled in the piano. You can’t beat her.” Since He Lian Yi spoke, Zhou Qianqian followed.

Chen Xinzi’s heart was swelling with pride. Although she lost to Lu Xingzhi in appearance, in terms of piano skills, who is Lu Xingzhi?

Just as Chen Xinzi’s pride was about to reach the sky, Lu Xingzhi’s fingers moved. 

However, she just pressed her fingers along the keys, and then returned to play the same notes again.

Chen Xinzi immediately apologized, “Miss Lu, sorry, I didn’t know you couldn’t play the piano. I thought you knew it, so I asked …”

Lu Xingzhi didn’t care what she and others thought. 

A melodious and cheerful tune flowed from her fingertips, gardens, fountains, playful children. The kind of nostalgic childhood, carefree, happy and wayward.

In between fast-paced tunes, her fingers would dance quickly, as if adding her own special effects.

This is a test of skill. 

Finally, the melody slowed down and trailed off with a hint of sadness.

Only then did guests find out that their eyes were wet.

Then the rhythm picked up speed again, powerful and resonating.

Once the song finally came to an end, Lu Xingzhi stood up and bowed towards everyone. Still disregarding their silence, she went back to Huo Jinchen’s side.

After a long silence, applause suddenly thundered in the hall.

He Lian Xi ran over in excitement and directly hugged Lu Xingzhi, “Xiao Zhi, San Sao, you are amazing! My G.o.d, someone like me who doesn’t understand the piano was actually touched. I can’t find the words to say it, you’re just amazing!”

He Lian Yi also stared at Lu Xingzhi in disbelief. Was the music really played by Lu Xingzhi?

Isn’t she just a country b.u.mpkin? How could her performance be…..
