Gu Yanxin returned to the music room and sat on a stool, pondering the matter of composing music.
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Chu's voice came from the doorway.
"Uncle... Uncle." Gu Yanxin came to her senses and stood up shyly.
"Would you like me to play a tune?" Qin Chu smiled, closed the door, walked over, and lifted her chin.
"Okay...okay," Gu Yanxin said softly, her eyes lowered.
Qin Chu crossed his arms, leaned against the piano, and listened to Gu Yanxin play with his eyes closed. "Hmm, not bad."
"Then can Uncle come and listen to me play the piano from now on?" Gu Yanxin stood up, walked forward, and took Qin Chu's arm, tentatively asking.
"Okay." Qin Chu turned his head and reached out to touch her lips.
Gu Yanxin's mouth went dry and her heart pounded wildly as Qin Chu teased her. She looked up, closed her eyes, and whispered, "Uncle..."
Just then, footsteps came from the doorway. Qin Chu frowned upon hearing this, pushed Gu Yanxin away, and kept her distance.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Wanqing pushed open the door and entered, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes when she saw Qin Chu.
"Look, my little niece is playing the piano. Come in and listen. She has the same style as you back in the day, Wanqing," Qin Chu said with a smile, putting his arm around Gu Wanqing's shoulder.
Gu Wanqing didn't respond to Qin Chu's words, but looked at Gu Yanxin and said, "Finish composing the piece as soon as possible. I'll also help you revise it before the competition."
"Okay, Auntie." Gu Yanxin nodded obediently, holding the hem of her skirt.
Gu Wanqing hummed in agreement and then turned and left the music room. Qin Chu followed her out.
Gu Yanxin raised her eyes, her gaze filled with venom as she stared at Gu Wanqing's retreating figure. She was so close...
However, there's plenty of time and opportunities, and she also sensed that Qin Chu had feelings for her.

At night, Shi Miao sat cross-legged on the sofa and led Ji Sinian in a rampage through the canyon.
At this moment, a message popped up on the screen. Shi Miao ignored it and continued playing the game, but the other party kept sending messages.
Shi Miao frowned, clicked his tongue, quickly pushed aside the opponent, exited the game, and entered the chat interface.
William sent her a screen full of emojis.
Shi Miao: [?]
William: [The Imperial Piano Association is holding an arrangement competition and invited me to be a judge. However, I'm currently in M continent, and since you seem to be free, I thought I'd let you go and have some fun. I told them to send someone to represent me.]
Shi Miao: [How did you get the idea that I'm bored?]
William: [They initially disagreed, but I told them not to invite me to any more competitions or events if it didn't work out, so they compromised. See how much status and influence they have now!]
Shi Miao: [Hehe, I've hidden myself well in M Continent.]
William: [...]
Shi Miao turned off her phone and rubbed her temples. "Troublesome."

These past few days, Gu Yanxin has been extremely anxious about the music arrangement. Several of her compositions have been rejected by Gu Wanqing, who has also given her a lecture. Deep down, she knows she can't possibly win first place with her own abilities, but if she could use Shi Miao's arrangement...
In any case, Shi Miao couldn't possibly be in the capital, let alone have any chance to contact the Piano Association. Besides, she had already inquired with Gu Wanqing and found that William wasn't among the judges.
She began to recall the songs Shi Miao had released last time, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes. If she could combine these songs together, wouldn't that be her own arrangement?
Gu Yanxin picked up her pen and began to write, relying on her memory. She quickly wrote out a musical score.
"How did it go?" Gu Wanqing walked in.
"Auntie, look, this is the new piece I wrote." Gu Yanxin nervously handed her the sheet music.
Gu Wanqing picked it up and started reading. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hadn't expected Gu Yanxin to be able to write such a good piece of music. Although some parts were a bit strange, with a few minor revisions, it should be able to win first place.
"Hmm, not bad, but some parts need to be modified." Gu Wanqing looked at her with a rare pleasant expression.
Gu Yanxin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said with a smile, "Then Auntie, please help me revise it."
