Tao Yuxuan was the most shocked and quickly said, "Mr. Slock, are you mistaken? Today is Shi Xi's birthday. Didn't you come here to celebrate with her?"
Shi Xi: ...
She's already pretending she doesn't exist, so why is Tao Yuxuan dragging her down with her and making her look bad?!
"I came here to see Professor Ning Yu," Slok said seriously. "Knowing that Professor Ning Yu was here, I put aside my concert to come and find her, just to get her guidance!"
Tao Yuxuan's face showed disbelief, "How is that possible? Ning Yu can't play the piano at all!"
"What I asked Teacher Ningyu for advice on wasn't the piano," Slok said wistfully. "I once heard Teacher Ningyu play the guqin, and the tone was so beautiful and moving. I've traveled all over China, but I've never found anyone who can play such moving pieces as Teacher Ningyu, so I specially invited her. I just didn't expect her to keep not coming, so I had to come and ask her in person."
Ning Yu sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. "I'll come see you tomorrow. There's a banquet going on today."
Slok scoffed, "It's better not to attend this boring banquet."
Shi Xi took a deep breath, pretending that she wasn't the one who was embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Today is my and Ning Yu's birthday party. Ning Yu and I share the same birthday."
Slok's smile froze, and he awkwardly twitched his lips.
But Shi Xi wanted to sabotage him further, so she asked, "What gift did Mr. Slok bring?"
After saying that, Shi Xi felt that she had gone astray.
These are clearly lines reserved for the villainous female supporting character!
Why is she so skilled?
Sure enough, she's still a wicked person at heart.
Even though he knew Slok hadn't brought a gift, he still made her lose face.
Slok raised his hands and touched his shirt pockets.
He then touched the pocket at his waist.
He then touched his pants pockets.
He then touched the back pocket of his pants.
He spread his hands.
I didn't bring anything.
Slok looked at Shi Xi.
Shi Xi looked at Slok.
Slok looked at his empty hands.
"Let me play a piano piece for you two beautiful ladies!" Slok looked at his hands and finally remembered the skill he relied on for his livelihood.
Shi Xi just played the piano, and the piano hasn't been taken away yet.
The crowd made way for Slok.
"To hear Mr. Slok play the piano is such a treat!"
"I heard that tickets for his concert are being resold for tens of thousands of yuan each! They're incredibly hard to get!"
"It's a real honor to hear Mr. Slok perform live up close!"
The crowd discussed it animatedly and circled around the piano.
After getting his hands on the piano, Slok played his signature piece, "Field Song," with ease.
The light and cheerful music is extremely comfortable to listen to. Listening to the pleasant music is as if you are really walking in the forest, surrounded by birdsong, fragrant flowers, lush vegetation, and flowing streams.
As the music ended, everyone applauded.
"Truly a master pianist!"
"It sounds really nice, even though I didn't understand it."
"I think Shi Xi played better just now."
"Mr. Slok definitely sounds better! What are you saying?!"
After Slok finished playing, he politely stood up and accepted the compliments with a smile.
Shi Xi clapped along, "Not bad, not bad. The bystander who said he wanted to hear Slok play the piano, your wish has been fulfilled."
Thank you, Miss!
"What's there to be so arrogant about? I think you play much better than him!" Tao Yuxuan walked up to Shi Xi with a sour look on her face and said in a low voice.
“Of course I played better,” Shi Xi smiled, “I’ll play for you again in the future.”
Tao Yuxuan nodded, and seeing Ning Yu surrounded by people, she snorted, "What's so great about a scruffy phoenix that can't even fly?"
"What's so smug about her?" Shi Xi coaxed gently, "Alright, it's our birthday today, let's say less."
To avoid being embarrassed again.
If only this were a game.
She can betray her teammates without hesitation.
"It's clearly your birthday alone!" Tao Yuxuan couldn't stand Ning Yu no matter what, and said, "Fortunately, Sheng Yan will still get engaged to you."
Shi Xi: ...Please, shut up!
"There's another surprise coming, just you wait and see!" Tao Yuxuan whispered to Shi Xi.
"Perhaps we should cancel the surprise," Shi Xi thought to herself. This was probably not a surprise, but a shock.
