Chapter 274: Chapter 274
If you say Luo Susu’s piano playing can be described as having a touch of lightness and ethereal charm, then Avril’s performance now strikes a balance between ethereal and magical, complementing each other to create an alternative harmony!
She played the world-famous piece "The Blue Danube," vividly portraying a magnificent and elegant scene, full of superiority, making most of the audience feel an involuntary sense of inferiority or inadequacy.
This suggests that her level of performance is very impressive, almost not much less than that of the most outstanding young Chinese performer, Lang Lang.
Luo Susu slightly furrowed her brow. Avril’s performance exceeded her expectations, greatly improving from the level she remembered a year ago.
Originally, she thought her progress over the year would allow her to defeat Avril when they met again, but now it seems there’s only a thirty percent chance of success.
"However, compared to Lin Xi, you’re still far behind!" Luo Susu thought to herself, recalling how at the welcoming party, Lin Xi’s performance completely shattered her impression of the piano.
She had never imagined that piano playing could reach that level; even with world-class pianists, she hadn’t seen anything like it.
Professor Guo, usually calm under pressure, now showed a slight change in his expression, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
Avril gave him the impression that no one present could surpass her, not even the so-called genius Luo Susu could likely perform at this level.
Gong Yi’s face looked somewhat swollen, as if he had been slapped hard; he hadn’t expected Avril’s previous performance of "Sky City" wasn’t her full capability, at most, fifty percent.
The other experts or highly knowledgeable professionals also looked a bit off-color, as they could easily discern the quality of the performance.
In their view, perhaps only Lang Lang could surpass Avril!
However, what left everyone speechless was Lin Xi, who was supposed to compete with Avril, calmly eating fruit on the sidelines.
"Is this what’s called being carefree?"
"He’s eaten more than half of the fruit meant for thirty or forty people. Is he trying to eat so much that he won’t have to compete?"
"I think this is the legendary expert; otherwise, why would Luo Susu let him go up with such decisiveness?"
"Maybe she thinks she’s bound to lose, so she sent someone who’s only studied for half a day, so losing wouldn’t be so embarrassing!"
"I agree!"
"Agree +1"
"Agree +2"
...
When the performance was over, Avril noticed that most people’s eyes weren’t on her but were instead directed towards Lin Xi at the edge while they discussed among themselves.
"What’s so good about eating fruit?" Avril’s face turned a little sour because in her performances, unexpected situations never occurred, and everyone was invariably captivated by her playing.
And now, she was actually overshadowed by someone eating fruit. If this got out, it would be said that her performance level wasn’t up to par, as she couldn’t even outshine someone eating fruit.
Next to Lin Xi was Gong Yi, who couldn’t help but whisper, "Bro, it’s your turn."
Lin Xi had just popped a piece of pineapple into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing carefully, he looked at Gong Yi in surprise, saying, "Is it over already?"
"..." Gong Yi didn’t know what to say; wasn’t it obvious?
"What did she play?" Lin Xi asked with a puzzled look, explaining, "I was really hungry, so I ate a bit more, and didn’t really pay attention to what she was playing just now."
PS: Thanks to "Happy Life" for four rewards, 400 points, "Passerby" for 399 points, and "SeX" for 100 points. Well, this storyline is about to conclude. I see some people are getting a bit impatient. Hmm, the next plot is about to unfold soon.
