Chapter 123: Only Knows This One
Li Yusha finished listening to Ou Yan's improvisation, and in her mind, there was only one question: why could she perform so well without any preparation?
Over the years, Li Yusha had heard many niche piano pieces, and she could affirm that Ou Yan's melodies just now had never been published in the market. Most likely, they were truly impromptu compositions!
Why could someone play so brilliantly without repeatedly pondering and carefully planning the melody?
Earlier, she didn't know any better and even asked if Ou Yan had learned the piano, won any awards...
She had shamelessly flaunted her over fifty first-place awards and her apprenticeship under the renowned piano master Andy in front of Ou Yan.
It was embarrassing.
Andy wasn't even comparable to a Master Tingyin.
Master Tingyin was a myth in the piano world, undefeated to this day! Ou Yan had won numerous prestigious awards globally and was a master on par with Long Lao!
In the eyes of a Master Tingyin, having over fifty first-place awards meant nothing. Even if someone had five hundred, Ou Yan wouldn't care.
Their level was in the clouds!
Li Yusha felt like she had made a fool of herself.
When she arrogantly asked those questions earlier, Ou Yan was still playing games. She thought Ou Yan was just a mediocre person who wouldn't achieve anything in life. Little did she know...
Her disdain and arrogance had turned into slaps on her own face.
Li Yusha couldn't describe her current feelings—frustration? Resentment? Sadness? Disappointment? Frustration? Feeling useless? Or what?
"It's your turn," on the stage, Qin Zhilan raised her red lips, looking triumphantly at Bai Muyao, "Senior Tingyin has just completed an improvised composition. How is the level? I believe everyone has witnessed it. You claimed that your talent surpasses Master Tingyin's. Now you have the chance to demonstrate it to everyone."
Bai Muyao stood in place, her body trembling uncontrollably. She knew better than anyone about her composition skills. Once she showcased them, it would surely be a laughingstock.
How could she compete with Master Tingyin !
Seeing her embarrassment, Qin Zhilan sneered, "If you can't improvise, then just play any famous piece you've heard."
Bai Muyao couldn't play...
Even though her private tutor had taught her famous pieces like Canon, Für Elise, and Wedding in a Dream, she couldn't remember the entire melody without sheet music. Even if someone handed her the sheet music, her playing would be awkward, far from Ou Yan's smooth performance.
Any piano enthusiast would immediately recognize her skill level!
"You can't even play the top ten famous pieces?" Qin Zhilan found it ironic. She had overestimated Bai Muyao before.
Bai Muyao bit her lip, still persistent, "I just had a sudden blank in my mind..."
Seeing her awkward state, Qin Zhilan found it amusing, "Since you can't improvise and don't have any impression of the top ten famous pieces, just play any piece you know."
Bai Muyao remained motionless. In the past month, she had only practiced the piano piece "Sorrow," and she hadn't practiced anything else.
"What? Can't you play any other piano piece? Not even the simplest Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star?"
Laughter erupted from the audience.
"I didn't expect Bai Muyao really can't play the piano!"
"She only knows 'Sorrow'?"
"She can't remember the sheet music?"
"A person learning the piano should at least know how to read sheet music... It's incredible that she can't remember an entire piece of sheet music."
"More importantly, she can't even play Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star! I could play it when I was four."
"Someone like her doesn't deserve the second place! She doesn't even deserve to be in this circle!"
"Bai Muyao, you are a disgrace to the piano world! Get out of this circle!"
"Get out! Get out!"
Bai Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin watched helplessly as their daughter went from being praised as the second best by thousands to becoming a pariah, and all of this was thanks to Ou Yan!
They felt heartbroken and were about to say something when Ou Yan spoke up.
"I met your former classmate in the audience just now," Ou Yan spoke with a calm expression and a strong aura. "Now, let's invite her to the stage."
Everyone looked surprised as a girl stepped onto the stage, standing tall and said, "Hello, everyone. My name is Xu Tingting, and I accompanied Liu Feifei to attend the award ceremony. I was in the same class with Bai Muyao before."
Bai Muyao exclaimed in shock, "Xu Tingting!"
They used to be good friends, but after a small conflict, they lost touch when Xu Tingting transferred to another school.
Little did she know that her former friend would come forward to expose her secrets. Was it because she had bragged about winning the second place in front of Xu Tingting before the award ceremony, or had Xu Tingting been bought by Ou Yan?
Regardless, Bai Muyao felt that her downfall was inevitable today. She instinctively clenched her fists, her face pale.
"Bai Muyao used to have a poor family background. I've been to her house, and there was no piano. Instead, she envied me for practicing the piano since childhood. Every time she came to my house, she would touch my piano."
"I can testify that before high school, she had never learned the piano. She couldn't distinguish between the bass and treble clefs."
"Her piano career probably started after high school."
