Quan Si was puzzled. In fact, it was not just his impression. I believe all the students in the No. 1 Middle School in the city knew that the students in Class 1 of Grade 3 loved studying very much and did not like extracurricular activities.
But it turned out to be the way it was made.
"Chen Lu is back!"
A girl next to Du Fanshu poked him, and Quan Si saw that he moved his eyes from the stage to the book helplessly.
Chen Lu glanced at her students and found that they were all reading seriously, so she sat down in her seat with peace of mind.
Class 19 was very cheerful, with students playing and joking with each other.
"Classmates, our class has quite a few entries for this arts competition, especially for the guzheng competition. We have two students signed up!"
"Who is it? Who is it? Let me see which hidden master in our class is going to play the guzheng."
Yang Fuwei looked at his classmates.
"It's Quan Si and Xu Sheng's classmate!"
Ye Wuyun announced happily.
Xu Sheng was stunned. She turned her head to look at Quan Si who was pulling her up with a happy look on his face.
"Sister Xu! I've signed you up! Isn't Xu Miao always first? Let's get first place this time too!"
Mu Fengge on the other side laughed when he heard this.
"Mr. Quan, I admit that Xu Shengyi is a good student, but can she play the guzheng? You know, Miaomiao has practiced the guzheng countless times and is currently at the seventh level. What is Xu Shengyi?"
"What's wrong with level seven? I'm still level eight!"
Quan Si was telling the truth. He was influenced by Xu Shengyi and was at level eight in Guzheng.
But in this situation, no one would believe it.
Even the students in Class 19 thought that Quan Si's registration was just for fun.
"Quan Si, do you know how hard Miaomiao practices? She's good at both literature and martial arts, but Xu Sheng only knows how to study. He knows nothing else. He's still not as good as Miaomiao...!"
"My sister Xu only knows how to study? Haha!"
I’m afraid there’s nothing Sister Xu doesn’t know!
Some parents were also invited to the art competition at No. 1 Middle School in the city, but the parents and students sat separately.
In the parents' seat.
"Mrs. Xu, I heard your Xu Miao has signed up for the guzheng again in this art competition, right?"
"Xu Miao is so young, but she plays the guzheng so well. It's really enviable. Madam Xu has raised a good daughter!"
"Yes, Xu Shengyi is a good student and has made a great name for himself. Xu Miao is also a good musician. Mrs. Xu is so lucky."
When Xu Shengyi was mentioned, the smile on Xu's mother's face dimmed.
He just laughed dryly.
Principal Quan was giving the opening remarks for the art competition in front, while Xu Miao was standing next to her guzheng backstage.
Over there, Zhou Wuzhi and a few students were carefully moving a guzheng.
Xu Miao recognized it at a glance as Principal Quan’s precious guzheng.
"Be careful, don't let Principal Quan fall."
"Teacher Zhou, why did you move the guzheng out?"
Last time she wanted to ask the principal to let her play the guzheng during the school anniversary, but Principal Quan didn't agree.
"It's Xu from Class 1. Quan from Class 19 signed up for the Guzheng competition just like you. He uses this one."
Powerful?
Can he also play the guzheng?
Xu Miao was a little surprised.
However, since Quan Si is Principal Quan's grandson, Principal Quan would naturally be willing to give him this guzheng to use.
"And classmate Xu Shengyi also uses this one."
"Xu Shengyi also signed up for the Guzheng competition?"
Xu Miao's voice was a little high, which made Zhou Wuzhi stunned.
"...Ah, sorry, Mr. Zhou, I'm just curious about why Third Sister can play the guzheng."
"Don't talk about you, I'm also very curious and looking forward to it."
Before, he didn't understand why Principal Quan paid so much attention to Xu Shengyi, who had zero grades in all subjects, until Xu Shengyi ranked first in the entire senior year.
Rumors really can't be trusted...
Before Xu Shengyi got first place in the academic year, Xu Miao would never have believed that Xu Shengyi could play the guzheng.
But what if...
She couldn't compare to Xu Shengyi in academic performance, so naturally she couldn't let Xu Shengyi take the lead in playing musical instruments.
Not many people from the entire school signed up for this Guzheng competition.
She knew that those people lost to her every year because their skills were not as good as hers.
When Xu Miao came on stage, there was applause from the audience. Xu's mother looked at her daughter with satisfaction under the spotlight on the stage. She was wearing a decent ancient-style dress and sitting in front of the guzheng.
The melodious music echoed in every corner of the club.
Xu Miao’s guzheng playing was actually quite good. Even Quan Si had to admit that she played the piece “Crows Playing in the Water” very well. However, after hearing Sister Xu play the guzheng, Xu Miao seemed nothing special.
When the song ended, there was warm applause from the audience. Xu's mother felt very happy listening to the words praising her daughter.
Then he got up and went backstage to look for his daughter.
Because Xu Miao's next target was Quan Si, she saw Quan Si biting a lollipop backstage and Xu Miao walked up to him.
"Mr. Quan, I didn't expect you could play the guzheng."
Quan Si didn't want to pay any attention to Xu Miao and walked around her.
When Quan Si came on stage, the students in Class 19 were all excited.
Over the years, Quan Si is the only boy who has signed up for the Guzheng competition.
When he sat in front of the guzheng, Xu Shengyi came back with Lin Siqi following behind him.
"Miss Xu, this is a dish for a close friend. Mr. Huai couldn't come because of something, so he asked me to deliver it."
"Don't you say you don't deliver takeout when you meet a close friend?"
"What are the rules for something given to Miss Xu?"
As we all know, if you want to eat Feng Zhiji’s dishes, you can only go to the restaurant.
When Mu Fengge saw Lin Siqi again, he was not surprised.
Last time she was able to speak up for Xu Shengyi, which shows that the two of them have a good relationship.
There was a sound of strings on the stage, and Quan Si started to move. When he plucked the strings skillfully, everyone was shocked.
"He really can play the guzheng?"
"It sounds quite melodic to me, as if he can really play it."
"It sounds pretty good. Isn't this the... 'General's Order'?"
"It seems so. I've heard Xu Miao practice this piece before."
"I remember this is the guzheng grade eight exam piece..."
"Quan Si played well. This is indeed 'General's Order', an eighth-level piece. So, what Quan Si said just now about his eighth-level Guzheng is... true?"
One of them also plays the guzheng, so he can naturally hear it.
The whole tune was passionate, like a general in high spirits. Quan Si's outstanding performance on the stage won round of applause.
Lin Siqi was surprised that such a young boy could play the guzheng so well. He really didn't expect that.
When Quan Si finished and walked backstage.
"Mr. Quan, you play the guzheng really well."
Xu Miao smiled.
"Thank you very much."
Quan Si replied coldly.
"I know I'm not as skilled as others, so I think the first place this time belongs to you, Mr. Quan."
"The first place goes to my sister Xu. My sister Xu is much better than me."
Xu Miao was stunned.
She was already amazed by Quan Si's eighth-level song. Is Xu Shengyi really better than Quan Si?
But luckily she was prepared...
When Quan Si returned to Class 19.
"Quan Si, you're amazing! You have no idea how much the entire school has been amazed by your ability to play the guzheng!"
