Three hundred and twenty seventh chapter outdated school grass
"Yeah, we haven't seen each other since the holiday..." Ling Cang forced a smile and asked, "How are you doing recently?"
"Fortunately..." The corners of Ding Shijia's mouth twitched a few times, revealing resentment that was not easily noticed by others. Since being taught a lesson by Ling Cang, Ding Shijia's school cool demeanor has disappeared. Although people who know this matter Not much. Ding Shijia could usually pretend, but this time he was facing the person involved.
Yin Liwen asked with interest: "Do you know each other?"
"We have met several times..." Ding Shijia smiled uncomfortably: "You are not in the same grade as us, so you probably don't know that Ling Cang is number one in the school year. He participated in a knowledge competition in the capital some time ago and won all the prizes. Awards,"
This was the second time Yin Liwen heard someone mention this competition, so he casually asked: "What competition?"
"Knowledge of Chinese Studies,"
"Oh," Ding Shijia smiled and nodded, thinking about it.
There was a white piano in the middle of the party venue, and a pianist was playing there.
Regardless of what Yin Liwen and Ding Shijia were talking about, Ling Cang nodded slightly while listening to the piano music, as if he was enjoying it. After a while, Ling Cang commented on Shen Fanlei: "This piano player is good, but Deliberately imitating Ryuichi Sakamoto, but it only tied my hands and feet."
Before Shen Fanlei could speak, Yin Liwen felt that he had found a breakthrough to attack Ling Cang, and asked with a half-smile: "Besides the violin, you also know the piano,"
Ling Cang said something expressionlessly, which almost choked Yin Liwen to death on the spot: "I must know better than you,"
"Really..." Yin Liwen laughed twice, but did not show any displeasure: "I don't know how to play piano, but there are two experts here. I'm worried that you are trying to do what you want, so I kindly remind you,"
"Two experts," Tongtong tilted his head and asked strangely: "Leilei knows piano very well, who is the other one?"
"Of course he is our school sweetheart," Yin Liwen pointed at Ding Shijia, as proudly as if he was a piano master: "Don't you know, Shijia is very accomplished at the piano,"
"I don't dare to take it, I don't take it," Ding Shijia said modestly, but with a very exaggerated smile on his face: "Who dares to talk about piano in front of Leilei?"
"You've given me the prize, but actually my piano skills are not as good as you said," Shen Fanlei said to Ding Shijia calmly: "Since you also know the piano, why not go up and play one for everyone to appreciate."
Ding Shijia waved her hand gracefully: "I'd better not show my shame anymore,"
"Don't be modest," Shen Fanlei advised with a smile: "This is not a competition of talents, nor is it a participation in a music competition. It's just that everyone learns from each other and improves their piano skills together."
"Yes," Tongtong helped from the side: "We all know that you sing well, but I didn't know that you can play the piano. Now that we have said this, why don't you show it to everyone?"
"Well, since hospitality is hard to refuse, I have no choice but to show my shame. If there is anything wrong, please point it out." Ding Shijia was waiting for others to say this. He immediately walked to the piano and whispered a few words to the piano player, and then he Sit down at the piano.
Ding Shijia feels that any very awesome person needs to be invited by others to show his strength. If he takes the initiative to show off, it will not only insult his identity, but also show that he is not awesome enough.
But to be honest, Ding Shijia did have a few tricks up his sleeve. Not only did he act elegantly, but his piano skills were also quite good. He played the piano version of "Destiny" adapted by Richard Clayderman. As soon as the sound of the piano sounded, the audience was stunned. Come for a round of applause.
"Ding Shijia doesn't like to show off..." Yin Liwen looked at Ding Shijia and deliberately said in a high voice: "So people don't know that he is actually very good at piano and started learning it when he was five years old."
"Really..." Shen Fanlei just nodded lightly without making any comments.
"I didn't expect..." Ling Cang snorted and said disdainfully: "This outdated school idol still has a few more days to live."
"You're a school girl who has passed..." Yin Liwen has a very good relationship with Ding Shijia. Hearing Ling Cang say this, he finally got angry: "It seems you must be very good at playing."
Ling Cang chuckled: "General, normal,"
"Then when Shijia comes down, how about you go up and perform for everyone,"
"Say it again, say it again,"
"So you don't dare anymore,"
"I don't dare," Ling Cang told Yin Liwen seriously, "I'm afraid of being compared to him."
"I believe that if you really compete with Shijia, Shijia will definitely be convinced." Yin Liwen was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He couldn't figure out how such a top-notch person came to his birthday party: "But if you are not as good as Shijia, Jia, what should you do?"
"How can it be inferior to Ding Shijia?" Hong Xue snorted heavily and told Yin Liwen disdainfully: "Don't look down on our Ling Cang."
"I'm not looking down on Lingcang, but..." Yin Liwen spoke very politely to Hong Xue, not daring to offend the female gang boss: "If a person can learn the same musical instrument in a lifetime, he is already very successful. "How old are we? How can we be proficient in everything? I know Ling Cang is good at playing the violin. If he can even play the piano, how can he be extraordinary?"
"I'm really not a mortal," Ling Cang said word by word, "I can play the piano well,"
As soon as the words hit the target, everyone laughed, and Yin Liwen immediately became excited: "In this case, you have to go up and perform."
"There is no problem with the performance, but..." Ling Cang suggested expressionlessly: "Wu Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, who is better than the other, it is not so easy to judge,"
"It's easy," Yin Liwen said immediately: "As long as the majority of people present think who plays well, that's who plays well."
"Okay," Ling Cang finally agreed, "Then I'll show my shame too,"
Ding Shijia was playing there, and the more he talked, the more proud he became. He felt that he had performed to the highest level in his life. He took the time to peek over, but found that everyone was talking to Ling Cang, and seemed not to pay much attention to his side. He suddenly became angry. Come to one place.
As a result, in a trance, Ding Shijia played two wrong notes. The pianist standing aside immediately clapped twice to show encouragement. However, this drum made Ding Shijia even more nervous. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and then he made another wrong note. Two tones.
In order to calm himself down, Ding Shijia had to keep thinking in his heart: "How can that poor boy know how to play the piano? Don't worry..."
Ding Shijia felt that he didn't know if Ling Cang's ancestors had any virtues that allowed him to play the violin so well. However, piano was his specialty after all, and Ling Cang could not surpass it in any case. It seems that even if he is educated, he is still a hooligan. He cannot be proficient in all kinds of elegant arts. In the future, Ling Cang will be lucky if he can not make a big mistake and be eliminated by the dictatorship of the people's government when he enters society.
After barely finishing the piece, Ding Shijia returned to everyone and smiled confidently: "I don't know how you feel,"
As long as Ling Cang says "I can't play as well as you", or simply says "I can only listen but not play" to make himself look good, Ding Shijia will temporarily forget the previous unpleasantness.
Unexpectedly, Yin Liwen immediately said: "Ling Cang is about to challenge you."
"Oh," Ding Shijia immediately made a "please" gesture: "Then we are all ears."
Ling Cang didn't hesitate, flexed his fingers and strode towards the piano: "Since you said so, I will teach you how to play the piano."
"Okay," Ding Shijia sneered, and then told the pianist: "When this gentleman finishes playing, please comment on which one of us is better."
When the pianist heard this, he felt a little embarrassed, because it was inappropriate to say who played well, but looking at Ding Shijia's eager eyes, he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree: "Okay."
Ling Cang lazily sat down next to the piano. The moment his butt touched the stool, he seemed to be a different person. He was no longer as carefree as usual. Unfortunately, Ling Cang's outfit was too sharp. Sitting next to the piano It feels uncoordinated, and indeed, as Shen Fanlei said, it is suitable for wandering around with a broken acoustic guitar on your back.
But despite this, when Ling Cang's fingers touched the keys, Ding Shijia knew in despair that he had lost.
Ling Cang did not play the popular music, but chose the extremely difficult Sonata in E major. This is a choice that only professional piano players would make. From beginning to end, Ling Cang not only showed superb The performance skills and the fact that he hit every note made many people present who didn't understand music intoxicated.
Even the pianist could not help but applaud. Different from the somewhat encouraging applause given to Ding Shijia just now, the applause now was full of praise and even admiration.
After Ling Cang finished playing the song, he came to the pianist and asked in a moderate voice: "Who is better, me or this gentleman just now?"
"This..." The pianist looked at Ling Cang and Ding Shijia, and found that the latter's face was like a dead person: "Both are good, each has his own merits. If people here are as good as you two, I can only change my career to something else. ,"
"This piano player was hired by Yin Liwen, so he naturally has some scruples about what he says," Ling Cang smiled slightly: "If you want to know the true level, you should ask Leilei."
Everyone immediately turned their attention to Shen Fanlei, and Shen Fanlei said very calmly: "Ding Shijia has an amateur level eight, as for Ling Cang..."
Shen Fanlei didn't say anything. Ding Shijia already understood the meaning. Only Yin Liwen asked desperately: "Tell me quickly, how is Ling Cang?"
"Ling Cang's music is polyphonic, and its difficulty exceeds that of Ding Shijia, with a level ten level." After a pause, Shen Fanlei added: "And it's professional level,"
