BXBX NOVEL Chapter 212 - Lute Fighting!
Chapter 212: Lute Fighting!
This guy was too self-righteous.
He was pretty, but he was full of sh*t. It was obvious that he wasn’t reliable!
This kind of guy wasn’t attractive at all!
“It just means she’s average,” Lin Yi said.
“In your eyes, the youth champion is quite impressive, but the value of winning it is nothing special. It’s all the publicity from the organizing committee. It’s not as impressive as you think.”
“How dare you!”
“Alright, stop talking!”
Yixuan suddenly said, looking at Lin Yi with an unfriendly expression.
“You keep saying that my championship isn’t worth anything, but at least among my peers, no one is better than me.”
“I’m not trying to hurt you. In truth, you do have some ability.” Lin Yi said helplessly.
“I recognize your ability, so let’s not bother about these things. I just want to finish this job and get a five-star review. You don’t have to make things difficult for me.”
......
“I don’t like what you’re saying,” Wang Yixuan said.
“What do you mean you recognize my ability? My ability is recognized by all the famous people. What right do you have to recognize my standards?”
“Fine, whatever you say. I won’t argue with you anymore.” Lin Yi turned around. He really didn’t want to argue with Wang Yixuan anymore.
“What right do you have to talk to me like that!” Wang Yixuan said. “You make it sound like you’re better than me!”
“I’m not the best, but I should be better than you.”
“Haha, you’re talking too much. Who gave you the courage? Meituan?”
“If you think you’re good, then you can play against Yixuan. Do you dare?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Playing against Yixuan is a good idea. There’s still some time before the concert starts. We should have enough time.”
Upon hearing the suggestion that he should play against her, Wang Yixuan raised her head.
“Don’t you think highly of yourself? If you’re really that good, you can compete with me. Do you dare?”
“I don’t know.” Lin Yi was speechless. “If you compare music, won’t music itself lose its meaning? It’s not something you can show off.”
“Can I take that as you being scared?”
“Scared?” Lin Yi glanced at Yixuan. “Your level’s right there. What’s there for me to be scared of?”
“You’re bragging, but you’re just full of sh*t,” Yixuan said.
“Yeah, if I don’t dare, I don’t dare. Why bother making excuses?” Lin Yi replied.
“You kept spewing nonsense earlier, but now you don’t dare to back it up. You’re like the keyboard warrior on the Internet!” Yixuan said.
“To think, I was going to ask him for his wechat just now. I was really blind.”
Hu...
Lin Yi took a deep breath. “Actually, I didn’t want to compete with you for fear of leaving a shadow on your pursuit of art. But you people don’t seem to appreciate my kindness, so let’s begin.”
“At least you’re still a man!”
“Come on, Yixuan, let’s go with a difficult piece. Let’s beat him!”
“With Yixuan’s skill, there’s no need to choose a difficult piece. He’s just an errand boy, so there’s definitely a limit to his skill. She can easily beat him with a simple song.”
Yixuan’s confidence soared as she looked at Lin Yi.
“Since you’ve agreed to compete with me, I have a request.”
“What request?”
“If you lose, leave this place and don’t delay our performance.”
“What If you lose?”
Haha...
The people around burst into laughter. Some even burst into tears.
“Brother, what are you saying? Do you think you can win against Yixuan?”
“Yixuan has been playing the piano since she was five years old. When you were five years old, you probably didn’t even know what a piano was.”
“Don’t you know that there’s such a thing as talent in this world?”
“Talent? Then you really hit the nail on the head,”Pengfei said.
“Miss Guo once said that Yixuan is the most talented of all her students. She said that as long as Yixuan works hard, she’d even surpass her in ten years. You’re talking about talent here?” Pengfei said. “Isn’t that a bit of presumptuous?”
“Sigh...”
Lin Yi sighed helplessly. “Then, let’s begin.”
“You don’t have to pretend to be helpless. The results won’t change.”
As she spoke, Wang Yixuan sat down on the chair. “I’m going to start. Are you ready?”
“As long as you’re ready. You don’t have to worry about me.”
She rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, cursing in her heart. “Let’s see how long you can keep up this act!”
Her slender fingers landed on the keys, and she began to play.
A few seconds later, someone recognized the tune that she was playing.
“It’s Big Fat Ham!”
“This New Orleans jazz style is a bit difficult.”
“That Lin Yi wouldn’t be able to handle a piece of this level right from the start.”
Ding Ding Dong Dong...
At that moment, the sound of another piano could be heard. The crowd was shocked to find that Lin Yi had started playing!
And he started playing before Wang Yixuan had even finished!
Most importantly, the syllables and melody were exactly the same!
“What, what’s going on?”
“He’s actually following the song? And there’s no mistake at all!”
The two stopped one after another, and Wang Yixuan looked at Lin Yi in surprise. She didn’t think that he’d be able to keep up with her song!
It seemed like he had some skill after all.
It was just that the song wasn’t that difficult, and it was normal for him to be able to keep up.
Everyone’s eyes were on Lin Yi now.
It was his turn to start now.
The piano started playing again, and Pengfei and the others’ ears pricked up.
“This song sounds familiar!”
“I know, it’s Silent Night!”
“What is this? Isn’t that too simple? Even an amateur like me can play it!”
“I’m really drunk. With this standard, how can he compete with Yixuan?” Pengfei mocked. “I really don’t know what he’s thinking.”
“He’s only at kindergarten level at most, and he’s still laughing at Yixuan, the champion. Teacher Guo must have made a mistake this time.”
“Shut up!” Yixuan said suddenly, her eyes wide open.
No one understood why Yixuan was so excited. It was just a simple Christmas song. Was there a need to react like this?
However, when Lin Yi finished playing the song, everyone noticed something different!
“Although I don’t know much about the piano, I can tell that this song isn’t an ordinary Christmas Eve.”
“He seems to have changed the song. The rhythm in the middle was changed. The traditional Christmas Eve is three-quarters of a beat, and he added a four-quarter beat melody in the middle. At the end, he added a jazz scale. It sounds like the Christmas song, but it’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a brand new song!”
