Chapter 1192 Deliberately Letting Go
Liu Xiaoru was not worried about Wang Nina's online scandals and the impact on public opinion, nor was he worried about her affecting Li Xiaoru's mood. During the three days of preparation, the competition committee allocated 10 professional piano rooms to the 10 contestants so that they could practice piano with peace of mind. Li Xiaoru was more straightforward this time, turning off her cell phone, ignoring everything outside the window, and focusing on practicing piano!
Tao Zhiyao originally wanted to come and accompany the two of them, but Li Xiaoru's attitude dissuaded her from coming. She decided not to come and cause trouble for Li Xiaoru, and decided to come on the day of the second round of competition.
Liu? became the most idle person. When Li Xiaoru was practicing the piano, she wandered around. Bolzano is a very small city, and in two days, she visited every place.
And the next morning, she met the little boy and his parents whom she had met in Milan again - they entered a supermarket not far from the hotel where she was staying at the same time.
The little boy didn't recognize Liu? anymore, but his parents stopped when they saw her. Liu? was even more stunned when he saw the boy's mother. If her memory served her correctly, this brown-haired woman was the female judge who had given Li Xiaoru a high score in the first round of competition!
She thought that her face blindness towards foreigners should be cured. She couldn't stare at them, so she took the initiative to ask her, "Excuse me, are you Ms. Camille, the pianist?"
The other nodded, "Yes, hello, Princess of the Han Dynasty."
Hearing his foreign online nickname being read out by such an elegant lady, Liu? felt awkward for some reason, "My name is Liu?, we met before in Milan Cathedral Square."
At this point, Liu? realized belatedly that the other party might have remembered Li Xiaoru and gave her a high score in the first round of competition?
...
...
Her expression completely exposed her thoughts. Camille smiled and said, "Thank you for stopping and applauding my son's piano performance. He used to learn cello from his father, and only started learning piano in the past six months. We often encourage him to perform in crowded places to train his courage and stage sense. It just so happens that I am coming to Bolzano to be a judge, and by the way, my husband and I will bring our children to Italy as our last trip before the end of summer vacation."
Liu? was amazed at the little boy. He only learned piano for half a year, but he could play the whole "Exodus". He was a real genius. The little boy stood beside his parents obediently. He was not proud of being the son of a musician. He was very sensible.
"Thank you for giving my friend a high score," Liu also thanked sincerely. If it weren't for Camille's 9.8 points, the old professor's 9.8 points would have been removed as the highest score, and Li Xiaoru would have been eliminated. Then she would not be able to stay in Bolzano anymore.
"The child likes Li Xiaoru's piano very much. It's rare to hear him praise others," Camille said, touching the boy's head. "So I want to give Li Xiaoru a chance, at least let her enter the top 10."
Camille's subtext seems to be saying that she gave Li Xiaoru a break just to make her child happy, and that her performance was not worth 9.8 points?
Liu? felt a little uncomfortable, but still said thank you on behalf of Li Xiaoru. The supermarket is a public place, and people want to shop, so she can't hinder them. After chatting for a few words, she went to the self-service checkout to pay, but she still followed Camille's family of three from the corner of her eye.
After leaving the supermarket, Liu? thought about it over and over again, but she was still not satisfied. Was Li Xiaoru's performance really that bad? Liu?'s piano skills were far inferior to Li Xiaoru's, and she could not hear where Li Xiaoru played wrong. If she mechanically analyzed it based on music theory, rhythm and melody, she thought Li Xiaoru played very well, but she was not a judge.
It seems that except for the old professor, all the judges think that Li Xiaoru's performance was mediocre.
According to Camille, she will not give Li Xiaoru special treatment in the second round of competition. The second round of competition will be held tomorrow afternoon. Could it be that Li Xiaoru was really bad-mouthed by Wang Nina and will not be able to pass the competition?
Liu? was standing there uncomfortably, holding her shopping bag. When she saw Camille and her family of three coming out, she hesitated for a while before finally stepping forward and asked, "Ms. Camille, do you have any questions about Li Xiaoru's first round performance?"
