Chisui placed her hands on the strings, lowering her eyes to feel the touch of the strings.
Although Qian Sui is naive, she has always followed her master and, although she is occasionally tricked by him, she has only encountered good things, so she doesn't have much of a guard up against people.
When they were still on the mountain, her master said that she was the type of person who would be sold out and still help the seller count the money.
However, Chisui was naive; she wasn't so foolish as to be oblivious to the hostility others harbored towards her.
There's something that even a thousand years old understands.
If you've told someone you don't like doing something, and they keep insisting you do it, then they definitely don't consider you a friend.
Qian Sui has already told Shang Ziyan this several times.
She didn't want to try it; she wasn't very good at playing it; she hadn't played it in a long time.
The meaning was already quite clear, but Shang Ziyan still insisted on having Qian Sui play the guzheng.
What is the purpose of this?
Could it be because Shang Ziyan asked her to play the guzheng?
That doesn't make sense either.
Qian Sui couldn't figure out why Shang Ziyan did this, but indeed, Qian Sui felt unhappy because of Shang Ziyan's behavior.
Qian Sui placed her hand on the guzheng, sighed deeply, and when she raised her eyes again, they were no longer as gentle as before.
Others might not notice, but Luo Xinyue did. When Qian Sui was unhappy, her eyes were cold and indifferent.
And now, the look in Chitose's eyes shows that she is not very happy.
The crowd was full of people waiting to see Qian Sui play the guzheng. Shang Ziyan was also standing in the crowd, waiting for Qian Sui to play.
She thought to herself, "Hurry up and play, make a fool of yourself, and then I'll comfort you. That way, I can kill two birds with one stone."
Chisui raised her other hand and placed both hands on the strings, preparing to play.
Everyone is watching with bated breath.
With a thousand years of momentum, the first note was played.
The first note was fine, and everyone's expectations reached their peak when the first note sounded. But then, the second note rang out.
Hmm, this piece of music is a bit strange.
Those with keen ears could hear it, but those who hadn't studied music didn't recognize it; they just thought it sounded somewhat familiar.
Then, the third note, the fourth note, the fifth note... the notes gradually formed the melody.
Everyone could hear it.
Damn, aren't those two tigers?!
They, who had been looking forward to it, were greatly disappointed and all sighed.
Chisui continued playing, and she played each note with great effort. Finally, when she played the last note, Chisui flicked her finger, and the string broke.
When Shang Ziyan heard that Qian Sui had released two tigers, she was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what was going on.
She guessed that Qian Sui's guzheng skills might not be very high, but she didn't expect that Qian Sui could only play "Two Tigers".
That's it?
That's it?
How dare you say you can play?
Shang Ziyan was secretly overjoyed, but she maintained a composed demeanor on the surface. When the girl next to her laughed, she pretended to be very kind and said to the girl beside her, "Oh, don't be like that. Qian Sui played quite well too."
The girl laughed so hard she almost fell over, saying, "She plays pretty well like that? My little sister in kindergarten plays better than her."
Shang Ziyan was still laughing to herself when she heard the sound of a string breaking.
Shang Ziyan was startled and quickly turned her head to look. Sure enough, she saw Qian Sui raise her hand, and under her hand was the broken string of the zither.
However, Qian Sui's expression remained unchanged, just as cold and indifferent as before.
It was as if a string on a musical instrument had broken, something she had expected.
"You!" A surge of anger welled up in Shang Ziyan's heart. Just as she was about to explode, she noticed that there were other people around her, so she quickly swallowed back the words she was about to say.
People around him were chuckling and even surprised, but Chisui seemed oblivious to their presence.
She looked at the broken string, then slowly raised her head to look at Shang Ziyan, blinked her eyes, tilted her head, and said innocently, "Oh dear, the string broke."
Luo Xinyue could tell that Qian Sui was doing it on purpose, so when she saw Qian Sui tilting his head and speaking to Shang Ziyan like that, she couldn't help but sneer.
Shang Ziyan was standing not far in front of Luo Xinyue. Hearing Luo Xinyue's sneer, she turned around and glanced back.
Then, Shang Ziyan silently clenched her teeth.
hateful!
Although she was very angry, Shang Ziyan still kept smiling.
Shang Ziyan walked to the guzheng, glanced at it, her heart was bleeding, but she still smiled and said, "It's nothing, just one string."
Qian Sui stood up and said to Shang Ziyan, "I told you long ago that I can't play anymore. Look, I've ruined your instrument."
Shang Ziyan was like a mute eating bitter melon, unable to express her suffering and forced to swallow her pain.
Shang Ziyan almost gritted her teeth to suppress her anger.
She gave Chitose a kind smile, though the smile was somewhat sinister.
Shang Ziyan said, "It's alright, it's just a string. It's my fault, you said you didn't know how to play, but I still made you play."
Chisui pursed her lips, taking it as an apology.
Shang Ziyan looked at her guzheng and felt a pang of heartache.
This is a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!
Although Chitose also made a fool of herself, her losses were also severe.
