Chapter 964: Now This Is Awkward
Although he couldn’t quite figure it out, he didn’t think elsewhere.
After all, impersonation is something that generally doesn’t happen.
Although he hadn’t seen Ruan Shushu play the piano in person, he had seen her playing in videos before, so there shouldn’t be any issue.
Pei Hong was somewhat disappointed.
Actually, he came today because he heard Ruan Shushu would perform on stage and wanted to see her play the Fuxi Finger Technique live.
After such a long wait, he was eager to witness it firsthand.
Unfortunately, her hand still wasn’t healed, preventing her from performing at her normal level.
After Ruan Shushu stepped down, the host came on to introduce the final performance.
Everyone had lost interest; after hearing the best, who would want to hear the inferior ones?
That’s right, in everyone’s eyes, Ruan Shushu is a member of the National Studies Association and a direct disciple of Master Pei Hong. She is the epitome of excellence!
Even out of respect for Master Pei Hong, the championship should be hers without question!
With only one more contestant left, many people had already lost the will to watch.
Groups of three or two began to leave.
Even Pei Hong got up.
He came today just to watch Ruan Shushu’s performance, and since it was over, there was no need to stay.
The Department Head also stood up to personally see him off.
Since the Department Head was personally escorting him, naturally, other leaders from the vocal music department also wanted to see him off, so they all stood up.
As a result, everyone thought they should leave, and almost all planned to exit.
The host on stage appeared somewhat awkward, as it wasn’t over yet, so why was everyone leaving?
Although confused, he still needed to continue hosting.
"Next, let’s welcome our final contestant of the evening, Yan Yuexian, to take the stage. Student Yan will also perform ’Xiao Xiang Shui Yun,’ the same piece as Ruan Shushu.
It’s rare to see the same piece performed and even scheduled consecutively; it’s quite a coincidence.
Student Ruan presented us with an auditory feast. Who knows what surprise Student Yan will bring us? Let’s stay tuned."
At those words, everyone halted in their tracks.
Really? The same piece?
Even in consecutive order, Yan Yuexian really is having bad luck?
With Ruan Shushu being a tough act to follow, if Yan Yuexian didn’t play well, it would be quite embarrassing.
But because of this, everyone wasn’t in a hurry to leave anymore and sat back down.
They seemed quite interested to see what Yan Yuexian could deliver.
Countless people whispered among themselves, discussing Yan Yuexian and Ruan Shushu.
Of course, the tone was mostly sarcastic, with a bit of disdain.
Everyone was thinking about watching Yan Yuexian make a fool of herself.
Xia Weibao and Han Luoqi sat expressionlessly in the corner.
Although she hadn’t supervised Yan Yuexian’s practice in the past two days, she believed Yan Yuexian absolutely wouldn’t disappoint her.
A man suddenly appeared next to her, and Xia Weibao turned to see Gong Sirui had somehow come to her side.
His face was gloomy, clearly displeased by the surrounding gossip.
"A bunch of foolish humans!" Gong Sirui’s face was cold.
His grim expression seemed to say that anyone looking down on his wife must be blind!
Xia Weibao, "..."
Han Luoqi, "..."
Alright, alright, your wife is the best.
Xia Weibao was a bit curious and asked Gong Sirui, "You seem to have a lot of confidence in Yuexian."
"Of course, how could my woman not be good?" She was his wife from the moment he first laid eyes on her!
Xia Weibao, "..."
Han Luoqi, "..."
Alright, you win.
Yan Yuexian emerged from the backstage, and the three of them stopped talking, focusing on the competition.
