114 Shocking! The true face of Qiao Jingjing's brother
[Ding! A divine intervention is here! Please play "Für Elise".]
[Task Requirements: Achieve a stunning effect. Success rewards 120 points; failure deducts corresponding points.]
Although Qiao Yu publicly stated that "To My Sister" was a song he dedicated to his sister.
But the system knows what's going on.
Therefore, the title of the piece is "To Alice", not "To My Sister".
Qiao Yu's first reaction was to look at Xia Qing in horror.
With this woman around, it seems a bit difficult to amaze everyone with such skill.
Moreover, this woman herself didn't get along with Qiao Jingjing.
Is my life coming to an end here?
How could I have been defeated by this woman?
Now there's a knife to my neck.
Whether you cower or stick your neck out, you'll still get stabbed.
Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, Li Guowei sneered:
"Not playing it? Well, this piece isn't something that can be played well by just anyone."
The onlookers were disappointed.
Qiao Yu pursed his lips and sat silently at the piano, communicating with the system in his mind:
"Exchange for Advanced Mastery of 'Für Elise'".
[Redeem successful. Remaining points: 10.]
This time, we really have to go all in.
Otherwise, tomorrow's news reports might look like this:
Two pianists were caught in a dramatic piano duel at a piano club in Shanghai. One of them collapsed and became a vegetable on the spot.
After the exchange was successful, I felt a few seconds of disorientation.
Qiao Yu closed his eyes, clearing his mind of the many distracting thoughts of anxiety and fear.
In the hall, dozens of people were all focused on this young man.
Immediately.
The sound of the piano drifted out like flowing water.
The young woman, Huang Chengzi, was taken aback.
It feels completely different, unlike what Li Guowei played.
The same feeling arose in everyone's heart.
But soon, they were immersed in the gentle and melodious music.
A real piano cannot be compared to electronic sound effects.
The sound quality is on a completely different level.
The hall was silent, with only the sound of a piano drifting through the air.
It is neither too fast nor too slow, but gentle and pleasant to the ear.
Hearing it cleanses the soul and brings peace of mind.
Some people close their eyes and immerse themselves in the world woven by the piano.
It sounded as if I could hear the waves crashing in my ears.
Images involuntarily flashed through my mind... A sunny afternoon, waves crashing, a girl standing on the beach, a girl as gentle as water, possessing an ethereal and tranquil air...
Qiao Yu is getting into the swing of things.
He stood ramrod straight, his profile was sharply defined, and his long, slender fingers danced across the page.
His entire demeanor changed the moment he touched the piano.
He possesses the nobility of an aristocrat and the elegance of a cultured young man.
If there are artsy young women at the scene.
She might fall in love at first sight and decide she has to marry no one but him.
Huang Chengzi's astonishment and surprise faded, her expression softened, and she gazed intently, filled with fascination and admiration.
Unlike everyone else's rapturous expressions, Li Guowei seemed to have been hit by a thousand blows, staring at Qiao Yu in disbelief.
How can it be?
How can he play so well?
At this moment, his piano skills are absolutely masterful.
His interpretation of this piece was absolutely perfect.
Impeccable perfection.
But how did he manage to do that?
This piece of music is relatively new, and many people haven't even heard of it.
While the videos online are excellent, most of them are similar in form but not in spirit.
Because the practice time was too short.
Even with repeated practice day and night, it only took a little over a week.
Other famous piano pieces are pieces that every pianist has practiced hundreds or thousands of times.
As for Li Guowei himself...
I've been practicing piano since I was a child, for over ten years.
He practiced those world-famous pieces of music countless times.
Qiao Yu's playing level, like his playing of those famous pieces, is the culmination of hundreds or even thousands of repetitions of practice.
But, how is this possible!
The song ends,
The onlookers were still immersed in the music and hadn't quite snapped out of their reverie.
A few seconds later, applause broke out.
The enthusiasm was overwhelming.
The father and daughter, the daughter clapped her little hands vigorously, then said in a coquettish tone:
"Dad, I want him to be my piano teacher."
Her father said with difficulty, "This young man doesn't seem to work at the piano club."
"I don't care, I don't care, you go and say it for me."
The daughter shook her father's arm vigorously, her gaze fixed on Qiao Yu, her eyes sparkling with interest.
He can play the piano and he's so handsome.
The young girl was smitten.
Besides her piano skills, she's also good-looking.
"It's so beautiful, this is the real 'To My Sister', it's amazing."
"I'm going to practice this piece, it's so beautiful~"
"His original videos are no match for his, and the videos circulating online are no match for his. He is absolutely the best I have ever heard, without a doubt."
"Such piano music is a pleasure. No wonder piano concerts are so popular. They can't be compared to pop music or variety shows."
"There are many hidden talents among ordinary people. If the original composer heard this piece, he would be ashamed, wouldn't he?"
"Haha, I've recorded a video, I'll upload it online right away."
"How did you manage to play that?" Li Guowei asked, forcing himself to speak.
It's like a knight-errant in a martial arts novel getting slapped in the face.
He coughed up blood and asked you what kind of kung fu this was.
Qiao Yu ignored him and turned to ask Xia Qing, "Does it sound good?"
He felt uncertain in the face of this ethereal jade Guanyin.
Xia Qing clapped her hands, unable to hide the amazement in her eyes: "It sounds beautiful."
Although she was displeased that the piece was dedicated to Qiao Jingjing, she still enjoyed listening to it.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission. Reward: 120 points.]
The moment the system notification sounded, Qiao Yu felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.
Fortunately, this woman's inexplicable confidence is limited to her cooking skills.
Li Guowei stared intently at Qiao Yu, "Why do you have the sheet music?"
He was determined to find out his opponent's tactics, even if it meant his death.
This person is so annoying.
Qiao Yu gave him a disgruntled look.
Mission accomplished, feeling great.
He blurted out, "Nonsense, I composed this piece. Do you think I have the sheet music or not!"
After Qiao Yu finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the room became eerily quiet.
Li Guowei's eyes widened in disbelief.
The yellow orange's rosy lips were slightly parted.
