As Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue walked forward, they saw many rehearsals for dance and musical performances.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the school, and everyone wants to showcase themselves at the anniversary gala, which is a special honor for them.

Especially for parents of students learning artistic talents, being able to outshine others and get on stage is itself a form of strength.

Therefore, many people participated in this school anniversary celebration, and even though the selection process had already been completed once, there were still many performances.

Because of limited rehearsal space, indoor spaces with air conditioning require applications, so many programs can only be rehearsed outdoors.

They found a shady spot and started rehearsing.

As Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue passed by with their umbrellas, they could see those people rehearsing diligently.

When they were almost at the school's commercial street, they saw Shang Ziyan in the lobby of a building next to the commercial street.

The building also has air conditioning on the first floor, but the outside is all separated by glass.

Chisui and Luo Xinyue wanted to go to the cold drink shop, and the shortest route was through that building, so they went straight in.

But when I went inside, I found that there were still people rehearsing a show.

Luo Xinyue vaguely remembered the program; it was a program produced by Shang Ziyan's class.

Because there were several students in the class who could play traditional Chinese musical instruments, they brought these students together to play the theme song of a very popular period drama together using the guzheng, pipa, and xiao.

The glass door outside was quite soundproof. After Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue pushed the door open, they heard the sound of musical instruments coming from inside.

Using classical instruments to perform modern songs, coupled with the high level of instrumental skills of all three performers, the effect was predictable.

Although it was just simple training, their level had already reached that of a professional performance.

A crowd had already gathered around, some even recording videos with their phones.

Qian Sui knew a little about the guzheng, so she was immediately drawn in by its sound as soon as she entered.

However, because the show was very good and it was held indoors with air conditioning, there were quite a few people watching. Qian Sui pulled Luo Xinyue closer to the crowd, and only through the crowd could they see Shang Ziyan playing the guzheng.

Qian Sui was slightly taken aback when she saw Shang Ziyan.

But they quickly realized what was happening.

She remembered that someone had said Shang Ziyan played the guzheng exceptionally well.

Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue stood in the crowd, watching Shang Ziyan play the instrument along with the others.

Because of her status as Shang Anqi's half-sister, Shang Ziyan's popularity at school skyrocketed.

Adding to the recent incident, everyone mistakenly believed that Shang Anqi pushed Shang Ziyan down, so everyone thought that Shang Anqi was the wicked older sister and Shang Ziyan was the kind Cinderella.

Therefore, everyone has a very high opinion of Shang Ziyan.

Now that I've seen Shang Ziyan play the guzheng so well, my opinion of her is even higher.

Several girls standing in front of Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue were recording with their phones, then turned to the people next to them and said...

Girl A said, "The Shang family really knows how to cultivate talent. Shang Anqi plays the piano very well, and Shang Ziyan plays the guzheng very well. They have both Chinese and Western styles."

Girl B said, "Although they are half-sisters, Shang Ziyan has been adopted by someone else, so they shouldn't be considered sisters anymore."

Girl A said, "Even if they were adopted, they are still related by blood."

Just as girl A and girl B were about to start arguing, another girl said, "You'd better not let them hear what you're saying, especially Shang Anqi. Shang Anqi doesn't want to acknowledge this younger sister."

Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue listened from behind, feeling that this was a dramatic ethical drama.

Given Shang Anqi and Shang Ziyan's identities and relationship, a good screenwriter could probably create a large-scale ethical drama with over a hundred episodes.

However, Luo Xinyue and Qian Sui remained silent.

After all, neither of these two people had much to do with them.

It was at this moment that Shang Ziyan and her group finished playing their instrument, and thunderous applause erupted around them, with many people showering them with compliments.

Shang Ziyan looked a little embarrassed.

She stood up and bowed to the applauding crowd as a gesture of thanks.

Shang Anqi, however, had sharp eyes. After bowing, she straightened up and saw Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue standing in the crowd.

"Huh."

Shang Anqi let out a surprised "Eh!"

Her gaze locked onto Qian Sui, then she smiled and walked towards Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue.

Shang Ziyan walked up to Qian Sui and said to Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue, "Qian Sui, Luo Xinyue, what brings you here?"

Just as Qian Sui was about to say she was just passing by, Luo Xinyue reacted quickly, pulling Qian Sui back to stop her from speaking, and then replying with a smile.

"I just happened to be passing by when I heard someone playing the piano and got drawn over," Luo Xinyue said. "Shang Ziyan, you play so well."

Chisui chimed in from the side, "Yes, yes, you played so well."

Shang Ziyan has been undergoing rigorous training for the past three years. In addition, she is also talented, so in just three years, her guzheng skills have reached the level that many people have practiced for ten years.

She knew her own abilities, so she felt she deserved all the praise.

However, the persona she cultivates is one of humility, unlike Shang Anqi, who, when praised, generously says, "Thank you for your praise, I deserve it."
