"If you can't play it, just admit defeat. It's not like she can play it so well just because you gave her the sheet music." Zhu Xiaoqin mocked mercilessly.
"Exactly, some people are just so overconfident."
"What's so great about those lousy awards from elementary school? The awards Lina won are the most prestigious professional awards in the country."
...
After listening to Zhou Linna's performance, a group of female students who supported her mocked Gu Weiwei for still needing to look at the sheet music.
"This piece is Lina's signature piece, so she's naturally quite familiar with it. It would be fair to let Mu Weiwei play it while looking at the sheet music," the host suggested.
The music teacher asked a student to find the sheet music for "Flight of the Bumblebee" and, before delivering it, offered a word of comfort.
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself, just do your best."
Anyway, having her come is just to be a foil for Lina.
"Thanks."
Gu Weiwei took the sheet music and focused intently on studying it.
Mu Weiwei hadn't played the piano for a while, and although she could play, she hadn't really played this piece, Flight of the Bumblebee, much. She only heard Zhou Linna play it quickly once, which wasn't enough to memorize the score.
Fortunately, she has always had an amazing memory and can accurately remember things after seeing them once or twice.
The students watching outside the classroom saw her flipping through the sheet music for a long time without playing, and they all prepared to leave.
"Forget it, Zhou Linna's performance just now was so technically impressive that even few students at the Imperial Concert Hall could match it. She's never even played it before, how could she possibly be better?"
"Can you compare elementary school level with professional level?"
...
However, just as they reached the stairwell, the melody of "Flight of the Bumblebee" came from the piano classroom again, and it was no less impressive than Zhou Linna's performance just now.
So, they all turned back out of curiosity and saw the girl in the baseball cap playing the music with great concentration, having put the sheet music aside without even looking at it.
A baby-faced boy in the crowd was filming a girl playing the piano with great passion in the piano classroom with his phone, muttering to himself as he filmed.
"Young Master Lu, that was Zhou Da Meimei playing just now, and now it's your crush playing. Mu Weiwei is a monster, isn't she? She said she couldn't play, but after listening to it once and looking at the score twice, she just started to crush it. That's insane."
On the other end of the video call, a boy's clear voice came through, "Can you shut up?"
Even the students watching could tell that Gu Weiwei's playing was significantly better than Zhou Linna's, not to mention the knowledgeable music teachers and hosts, who were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
The girl's back was taut, and her slender fingers raced across the piano keys so fast that the naked eye could barely see the phantom of her fingers.
If Zhou Linna's performance was close to perfect, then Mu Weiwei's performance is now flawless.
Zhou Linna's smile gradually disappeared as Gu Weiwei played the piano, until finally, only anger and coldness remained on her exquisitely made-up face.
After playing the last note, Gu Weiwei looked up and let out a sigh of relief.
Several girls who studied piano with Zhou Linna stared in disbelief and applauded. Usually, because their teacher favored Zhou Linna, they were relegated to being her practice partners and supporting characters.
Now that someone has finally stepped up and crushed her, they are naturally happy to see it happen.
"That's what you call showing off skill! What was that piece of crap that someone just played?"
"I timed it, and at her fastest speed, she played sixteen notes per second. Does she have several hands?"
"Hehe, who just said Zhou Linna's performance was divine, a dazzling display of skill, and that she crushed all the other contestants?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, someone tried to show off with his famous work, but ended up being the one who got humiliated instead."
"Don't you think the real show is about to begin?" a pretty girl with short hair said with a smile.
"Mu Weiwei played the piece that Zhou Linna played, but can Zhou Linna play the piece that Mu Weiwei will play in a little while?"
