Chapter 272: Chapter 272: The Bet (3rd Update)
"Who are you?" Upon seeing Lin Xi’s affectionate gesture towards Luo Susu, Avril immediately resembled a ruffled hen, her eyes emitting a cold aura.
Lin Xi turned around, unable to help but praise the woman’s figure once more; combined with her face, she was simply the embodiment of a devil and an angel.
If it weren’t for her previous attitude, he might have been interested in teasing her, but now, Lin Xi didn’t have much interest, "Who I am isn’t important. What matters is that I can beat you."
"Beat me?" Upon hearing this, Avril actually laughed and continued, "Maybe if Luo Susu tries again in a few years, there’s a possibility. As for you, how many years have you been playing the piano?"
Just then, Gong Yi jogged over, looking worried like an anxious brother-in-law, and advised, "Brother, don’t get involved in this, after all, you’ve only learned the piano for half a day."
Half a day of piano?
To Avril and everyone present, it sounded like he was joking, right?
Because everyone believed that throughout history, no genius pianist could learn the piano so well in such a short time, not even mastering the basics.
"I think half a day is enough!" Lin Xi replied.
"..." Avril was momentarily at a loss for words, then asked with some curiosity, "So, you haven’t played the piano many times?"
"No more than five times!" Lin Xi answered truthfully.
And upon closer inspection, he appeared to be younger than Avril.
At this moment, Avril felt Lin Xi was here to disrupt things and was planning to ignore him, but then she noticed Luo Susu looking at Lin Xi and saying,
"Then you represent our side."
The meaning of this sentence was that Lin Xi should compete against Avril.
Professor Guo, who had been watching from the side, felt worried about Lin Xi’s competition with Avril. After all, she had been nurtured from a young age, and judging by the earlier conversation, Luo Susu might not be a match for her.
"Professor, take a look!"
A middle-aged man approached Professor Guo and handed him an open phone.
Professor Guo glanced at it and his face became slightly troubled. The content showed that in international competitions, Luo Susu had met Avril three times and was defeated each time.
The evaluations indicated that Avril’s overall strength was clearly superior to Luo Susu’s.
This only added to the concerns about Avril’s personal profile.
Avril, Colin’s only daughter, had learned piano and various other musical instruments from a young age, winning numerous awards in international competitions—almost always first—hailed as a rare genius in twenty years.
"Damn it!" Professor Guo cursed silently, fearing for his reputation.
As for Lin Xi, he didn’t hold much hope, partly because when he and Gong Yi had played earlier, Lin Xi showed an unfriendly attitude.
However, at this point, he was already in a difficult position and couldn’t change players easily, because besides Luo Susu, he really couldn’t find a suitable person to compete with Avril.
"Will you go first or should I?" Avril asked Lin Xi coldly, but Lin Xi simply shook his head. She couldn’t understand why Lin Xi shook his head and asked again,
"Are you afraid? Are you not going to compete? Do you want to forfeit now?"
"If you want to forfeit now, I’d accept it. Recognizing the right moment is wisdom—it’s an ancient saying of yours!"
Lin Xi’s lips curved into a smile as he replied calmly, "Not everyone wants to compete with us; otherwise, we’d be exhausted!"
"So, we need a wager!"
