Chapter 111: Chapter 110: What Do You Think Zhi Zhi Will Play?
[It’s no big deal to go play, everyone knows Ji Xizhi isn’t good at it anyway, so it doesn’t matter!]
[How could she possibly go? If she goes, how will her fans tout her as an all-around performer? The queen’s crown can’t fall!]
Zhong Yulu stood by the electric piano and continued to shout, “Come on, I can accompany you!”
With Zhong Yulu’s shout, Sheng Yaoyao and Guan Fengyan also noticed that Ji Xizhi hadn’t come over.
They all started calling out.
Ji Xizhi had sketched out part of her outline in her mind but was repeatedly interrupted by several guests, so she had to pause for a moment.
She thought of Article 18 of the additional terms in the contract she signed with Director Wang, and she stood up.
Heading over to where the show had set up the instruments.
The program team had a variety of instruments, but they mostly included the instruments the guests were skilled at.
Bai Xing with a guitar, Zhong Yulu on the electric piano, Sheng Yaoyao playing the violin, Zou Li on the guzheng, Zhu Xiu’an on the harmonica.
Qin Yutian switched from his usual cute puppy persona and got serious, playing the drums, causing the live comments to erupt in screams.
Guan Fengyan’s choice was even more nostalgic for all the fans.
[Wuwuwu Uncle Yan playing the flute really has that unparalleled gentleman vibe~ A dream of Uncle Yan’s youth, those martial arts dramas were super invincible handsome!]
[Who still remembers Uncle Yan’s action scenes back then? Instantly outshining the current young stars, right?!]
All the guests got the instruments they were skilled at.
Ji Xizhi arrived late, and the common popular instruments were almost all chosen, but Ji Xizhi wasn’t talented anyway, so her fans weren’t too disappointed.
Ji Xizhi looked at the series of instruments the program team had set out and walked around them. She finally stopped in front of an instrument in the furthest corner, which the camera had hardly captured.
Ji Xizhi bent down to grab the instrument and turned to walk into the frame.
“I’ll choose this one. I’m not very good at instruments.”
Ji Xizhi stepped out from the dark corner into the camera’s view, and under the spotlight, everyone saw clearly what she was holding… that erhu.
[??? Wait, an erhu? Where did the erhu come from? A beautiful girl is going to play the erhu!!!]
[What do you mean up there? The erhu is a traditional instrument; what’s wrong with playing it? I love the erhu!]
[Sorry, I didn’t mean to look down on the erhu. I’m on my knees apologizing. The erhu is great, but I just didn’t expect Ji Xizhi to play it…]
[A head full of question marks, so Ji Xizhi’s previous stage performances weren’t good because the right instrument wasn’t provided?]
[Don’t hype it, Ji Xizhi hasn’t played yet, didn’t she say she’s not very good? Don’t prematurely praise her, cow on earth!]
Ji Xizhi pulled out an erhu.
Director Wang looked bewildered.
“Where did you get that from? Our program didn’t provide this instrument!!!”
[Haha I’m laughing to death, Ji Xizhi is always out on her own in the program rules!]
Ji Xizhi pointed to the firewood pile in the corner of the courtyard, “Oh, just over there.”
Director Wang: “???”
He turned to look at the woodpile in the dark corner under the corridor on the left side of the courtyard.
This seems to be the owner’s erhu of this rented large courtyard!
“This isn’t a program-provided instrument!!!”
Ji Xizhi frowned and asked back, “But isn’t it written in the rental contract that all facilities in the entire courtyard can be used by the guests?”
Director Wang gradually broke down: “?”
“When did you see the rental contract?”
Ji Xizhi replied casually, “I saw it when I arrived at noon, I asked the producer.”
The program producer, who had been hiding outside the live camera: “………”
He didn’t expect Ji Xizhi would use it like this!
When Ji Xizhi arrived at noon, she casually mentioned to him to check if there were any issues with the property rental contract. The producer thought, Ji Xizhi is a law student, and this wasn’t an important contract. Besides, she’s a favorite of the program crew, so he didn’t guard against her and happily showed it to her.
But now… the producer dared not raise his head to meet Director Wang’s murderous gaze.
Director Wang: “.”
Teammate calls dropped; he fights alone, truly exhausting!!!
Director Wang gritted his teeth, “Fine, use it, let you use it!”
Ji Xizhi sat back in her chair.
This erhu was placed on the firewood in the corridor, not sure if the owner forgot or what.
Ji Xizhi first wiped the erhu, then began testing the sound.
Ji Xizhi indeed hadn’t learned any instruments. She was an orphan from a previous life, didn’t have the chance to learn these things, and later, when she encountered law, she immersed herself completely.
She learned this erhu when she went to the countryside in her past life, from an elderly man.
The old man’s pension was completely scammed, playing the erhu every day at his doorstep.
Later she helped the old man recover his money, and the old man was determined to teach her.
Just as she needed to educate the old man about law, inverting their roles as teacher and student, she learned the erhu, and the old man learned anti-fraud laws.
Other guests nearby didn’t expect Ji Xizhi could play the erhu.
Zhong Yulu, seeing Ji Xizhi attract all the attention again, even Zou Li beside her remained silent, her palms gradually clenched.
Sheng Yaoyao and Guan Fengyan, seeing Ji Xizhi’s unconventional choice, smiled and gave a thumbs-up, “Sister Zhi Zhi is still capable!”
Zhu Xiu’an leaned closer to Qin Yutian, surprised, “She can even do this?”
Qin Yutian’s face was a mix of bewilderment and admiration.
“Sister Zhi Zhi, she must be good at everything!”
[Laughing so hard, the little brother has gone from infatuation to superstition!]
[What do you think Sister Zhi will play? I’m curious!]
[Will it be the little brother’s team song??? Kind of excited!]
Amidst everyone’s anticipation, Ji Xizhi soon played a tune that everyone found familiar.
The sound of the erhu was melodious, starting slow and soft, before gradually becoming lively, the melody clearer.
The fans in the livestream became more familiar as they listened.
By the end, they were even humming along.
[Uh? Why is this song so familiar, why can I sing it?]
[Weird, I can too, but I can’t immediately think of what song this is!]
[Ridiculous, I also find it familiar, dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun… High-interest can’t be trusted~ Anti-fraud traps can be identified~]
[??? Wait, the lyrics and tune from above… Isn’t this the anti-fraud promotional song released by police departments all over the place?]
