"Shiyun, you are so amazing, I can't help but cry!"
Li Shanshan went up to him and gave him a hug.
Xia Shiyun pushed her away, rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, you act like you know how to play the piano."
There are only a few people who really understand the piano. Most people at the scene just think that the melody of the music played by Xia Shiyun is very beautiful and they are enjoyable to listen to, but they are unable to appreciate it from a professional perspective.
"I don't understand piano, but it sounds good enough!" Li Shanshan said confidently.
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you!"
Xia Shiyun said, directly bypassing Li Shanshan and the surrounding classmates, and came to Xiao Chen and Xiao Yufei.
Xiao Yufei stood up and handed the exquisite gift box to Xia Shiyun, "Shiyun, happy birthday!"
"Thank you, Sister Yufei!"
Xia Shiyun was not pretentious and accepted the gift.
Unlike Xiao Chen, her relationship with Xiao Yufei has never been broken since childhood and has always been very good.
It was she who brought Xiao Yufei's piano into the house.
"By the way, I've prepared a gift too!"
A male classmate took out a wrapped square box and gave it to Xia Shiyun.
"Classmate Xia Shiyun, happy birthday!"
"I have it too!"
"And mine!"
"Shiyun, happy birthday!"
"Classmate Xia Shiyun, happy birthday!"
…
Soon, the group of classmates sent gifts and blessings to Xia Shiyun. The gifts were all beautifully wrapped.
As for what the gift was, they didn't know each other, and Xia Shiyun had no intention of opening it on the spot, lest it turn into a comparison contest.
"Thank you all for your gifts and blessings!"
Xia Shiyun is very happy. It doesn't matter whether the gift is precious or not, as long as the atmosphere and intention are met.
Perhaps it was the gossip mentality that caused Li Shanshan to stare at Xiao Chen from the beginning.
She originally thought that since Xiao Chen admired Xia Shiyun, he must have carefully prepared the gift-giving aspect.
Unexpectedly, even until the end, Xiao Chen didn't show any sign.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Chen, what gift did you prepare for Shi Yun?"
The rest of the people all looked at Xiao Chen. Since they were childhood sweethearts, their expression was not too unreasonable.
"Shanshan, what are you doing?"
Xia Shiyun was really angry. He promised to smooth things over for her, so why are you making such a fuss now?
It didn't matter whether Xiao Chen gave him a gift or not, she didn't care either, but asking him now made the atmosphere awkward.
"Don't worry, he must have prepared a gift!" Li Shanshan didn't believe this evil.
However, the next second, Xiao Chen said: "Sorry, I forgot to prepare a gift for a moment!"
"What?" Li Shanshan was stunned, staring at Xiao Chen and said, "You can forget this, right?"
Xia Shiyun was busy smoothing things over and said: "It doesn't matter. Being able to come to my banquet is the greatest blessing to me. Gifts are not important."
"That's not right. The gift doesn't have to be expensive, but at least it represents a little bit of affection and it can also show whether he takes your birthday to heart."
Li Shanshan was inexplicably angry, thinking that Xiao Chen was too dull and didn't understand the ways of the world and how to make people happy.
Still chasing girls like this? No wonder he was rejected in the first place!
"Shanshan, can you stop making trouble?"
Xia Shiyun was speechless, what happened to this damn girl, so that the world would not be in chaos?
Xiao Yufei pushed Xiao Chen and said, "Didn't you say you have something else for Shi Yun?"
Xiao Chen had no choice but to say to Xia Shiyun: "Since you like the piano, let me play a piece and treat it as a gift to you."
Amid everyone's confused gazes, Xiao Chen walked towards the piano in the center of the field.
"Wow, do you have to play the piano to express your love?"
Li Shanshan was surprised and began to look at Xiao Chen with admiration.
He knew how to do what he wanted. When others were giving gifts, he used to play the piano instead of giving gifts to bless Xia Shiyun. It was unique, unconventional, and eye-catching.
"Shiyun, I take back what I just said. Xiao Chen takes your birthday to heart, otherwise he wouldn't be able to think of such a romantic way."
When Xia Shiyun heard this, a blush appeared on her face and she glared at Li Shanshan fiercely.
Immediately, she looked at Xiao Chen who was already sitting in front of the piano, and she was suspicious. Could Xiao Chen really want to perform the piano?
"Sister Yufei, when did Xiao Chen learn piano? Didn't he always stay in his hometown?"
"Well... about a week ago, he just came from my hometown at that time and asked me who I learned piano from. I told him that you taught me piano, and he probably took it to heart."
Xiao Yufei remembered that Xiao Chen did say that it was his first time coming into contact with the piano. Maybe he practiced secretly in his apartment while he was at work.
Or maybe Xiao Chen's statement that he forgot to prepare a birthday gift was a lie. From the beginning, he planned to play the piano instead of a gift to please Xia Shiyun.
Men, you pretend to be cool and indifferent on the surface, but in your heart you can't let go of this relationship.
"puff!"
Someone laughed.
"He just started playing piano a week ago? How funny is it? Can he memorize a piece of music in such a short time? And play it in front of so many people?"
Although it was not polite to ridicule directly, that person did express what most people felt.
If you practice piano from scratch in a week without the guidance of a famous teacher, no matter how talented you are, you will only be able to master a section of notes or memorize a simple and rough piece of music.
But can that kind of unpopular music be played in front of piano master Wu Fang, in front of musical genius Xia Shiyun, and in front of so many people present?
"Oh, it's cold!" Li Shanshan said in frustration as if she had been poured cold water on her, "Shi Yun, your childhood sweetheart is really a weirdo!"
Xia Shiyun said no more, looked at Xiao Chen, and sighed quietly in her heart.
…
"Hey, who is that young man? Why did he sit in front of the piano? Is this also a part of the entertainment tonight?"
When Xiao Chen sat in front of the piano, he attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Master Wu Fang, do you know him?" someone asked.
Wu Fang shook his head and said: "I don't know him!"
"Then who is he? Under the aura of Miss Xia's perfect performance before, he still dares to come here to show his shame?"
"Yes, Master Wu Fang is also here. Who gave him the courage?"
"Don't underestimate me. I just want to play a piece of music to celebrate Miss Xia's birthday. The most important thing is my sincerity, not comparison."
"I see, he is Miss Xia's suitor, right?"
"Shh, give them some respect, give Miss Xia some respect, and don't disturb them by making any noise!"
The scene fell silent again, leaving Xiao Chen alone on the stage.
After calming down his mood, Xiao Chen posed, his fingers beating on the keyboard, and his body and mind merged.
This week, in his spare time while practicing, he had been pondering the piano.
The piano is known as the king of musical instruments, and it is indeed difficult to learn, but with his thousands of years of musical attainments in his previous life, coupled with the immortal cultivator's photographic memory and terrifying learning ability, with a little change, the piano is not difficult.
Percussion, sound.
Following a gorgeous and beautiful prelude, the song "Peerless Grace", which once amazed the Ziwei Fairyland and made countless fairies feel sad, slowly played.
