-----------------------------------------
Because <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> had only returned from abroad not too long ago.
Qin Tian didn't know that <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> played piano and only guessed from the fact that he saw the piano in the room.
After hearing what <๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฃ> said earlier, he confirmed his guess.
But he still wanted to keep a low profile.
Although Qin Tian had <๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ค ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ก๐จ-๐๐๐ญ๐๐ข๐ช๐ข ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ก> , he didn't want to show off.
He also didn't want to be bragging in front of <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> to get her likes.
Even knowing that <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> was the heroine, he still wouldn't do it.
So, saying that he knew how to play a little wasn't a big problem.
But when <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> interpreted it, it had a different meaning.
"๐๐ค๐ฌ, ๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ๐จ ๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค? ๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐ค๐ง๐?"
"๐ผ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐จ๐๐ง๐๐ค๐ช๐จ?"
<๐พ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ข๐๐ฃ๐> was also in disbelief.
In their social circle, it was common to find rich second generations who knew how to play the piano.
Because of their wealthy backgrounds, most parents would send their children to learn some elegant instruments or sports to boost their reputation.
But it was rare to see the head of a wealthy family to know how to play the piano.
Because the majority of their time had to be put into taking care of their business.
How could they find time to learn these skills mostly for pleasure?
Qin Tian didn't care if <๐พ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ข๐๐ฃ๐> believed it or not.
He ignored her and looked back at <๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฃ>.
Soon , <๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฃ'๐จ> first piece ended.
"๐๐ง๐๐๐ฉโฆ"
"๐๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐๐, <๐พ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฃ'๐จ> ๐ฆ๐ช๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ค๐ค๐."
"๐๐ค๐ช ๐๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ค ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐."
"<๐พ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฃ'๐จ> ๐๐ฌ๐๐จ๐ค๐ข๐!"
"๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช, ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช!"
Feeling quite proud of himself, <๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฃ> stood up and took a bow. He then walked to , where <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> was.
"<๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> , ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ก๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ข๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐."
"๐ผ๐ก๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ช๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐จ๐ ๐๐ก๐ก๐จ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฉ ๐ข๐ค๐จ๐ฉ ๐ข๐๐๐๐ค๐๐ง๐, ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐ข๐๐ญ๐๐ข๐ช๐ข ๐๐๐๐ค๐ง๐ฉ."
<๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> said lightly.
"๐๐๐๐ก๐ก๐ฎ?!" <๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฃ> wasn't mad but excited, "<๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ>, ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐ค๐ข๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ, ๐'๐ข ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฎ ๐จ๐๐ฉ๐๐จ๐๐๐๐."
After all, he barely learned for a few months.
It would be incomparable to <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ'๐จ> professional level of playing.
So, after getting a half-decent comment from <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> , he was already very happy.
<๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> nodded and looked away.
She said to Qin Tian, "๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ๐จ ๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฎ, ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ ๐'๐ก๐ก ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฉ ๐ ๐ฉ๐ง๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐ค๐ค."
"๐ผ๐ก๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ช๐๐ ๐ข๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฎ ๐๐ค๐ค๐, ๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฌ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฅ๐ค๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐ข๐ฎ ๐ข๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐จ!!"
"๐๐ค๐ช ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ค๐ค ๐๐ช๐ข๐๐ก๐, ๐๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฌ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฎ, ๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช."
"๐๐๐๐ก๐ก๐ฎ? ๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐'๐ก๐ก ๐๐ค ๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐๐."
<๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> was happy to hear that but didn't show much on her face.
Under the looks of everyone in the room, she calmly walked to her piano.
She first turned the notes and became more focused as she was ready to play.
Ting~
<๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> started her piece.
The song that she played was called <๐๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐๐จ๐จ>.
The story was very old-fashioned. Simply about a princess falling in love with the prince, and later the prince protecting the princess.
It was a slow-moving piece with a wide range of notes, focusing mainly on the basics
<๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ'๐จ> piano skills were very good, and she had a good grasp of the fast and slow rhythms of this piece.
Much better than <๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฃ> , who was barely a beginner.
Piano skills could be generally divided into seven rankings: <๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ง> , <๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐> , <๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐> , <๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ> , <๐ข๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง> , <๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ข๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง> , and <๐๐ค๐๐ก๐ฎ>.
<๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ'๐จ> skills could be considered between <๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ> and <๐ข๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง>.
Soon, <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> elegantly finished off her piece.
She took a bow and got a loud round of applause from her audience.
Seeing this, <๐๐ช ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐> and his wife smiled happily.
<๐๐ก๐๐๐ง ๐๐ช> was also overjoyed.
"๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฃ, ๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐๐จ ๐๐ฉ?"
Surrounded by cheers and applause , <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> walked to Qin Tian, feeling very proud of herself.
In her mind, Qin Tian wouldn't be even close to as professional as her and probably couldn't tell much.
But for some reason, she just wanted Qin Tian's acknowledgement.
"๐๐๐๐, ๐ค๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ก๐ก, ๐๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐๐จ ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฎ ๐๐ค๐ค๐."
Qin Tian smiled lightly , "๐ฝ๐ช๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ค๐ค๐จ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ช๐ก๐ฉ ๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐ซ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฎ, ๐จ๐ค ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ฌ๐ค ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ฎ ๐ข๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐."
"๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ, ๐๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐๐จ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ค๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ."
"โฆ๐๐๐๐ฉ?"
Hearing Qin Tian's critiques , <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> was frozen in place.
What is up with Uncle Qin?
"<๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ>!"
Before she could say anything, <๐๐ก๐๐๐ง ๐๐ช> interrupted.
"๐๐๐๐ฉ'๐จ ๐ฌ๐ง๐ค๐ฃ๐, <๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐>?"
"๐๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ, ๐๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐ข๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ช๐๐จ๐ฉ๐จ, ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ค๐๐๐ฎ, ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐๐ค ๐๐จ ๐ข๐ช๐๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐งโฆ
"๐๐, ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐ก๐ฎ?"
<๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ'๐จ> eyes flashed and looked toward Qin Tian , "๐๐ค๐ช๐ก๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐จ๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐โฆ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฃ?"
Qin Tian just pointed out her mistakes!
She had all the reasons to back that the person must be Qin Tian.
However , <๐๐ก๐๐๐ง ๐๐ช> simply smiled and shook his head.
"๐๐ค๐ฅ๐!"
<๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> was a little disappointed upon hearing this. "<๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐> , ๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐ข๐, ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ข๐ ๐๐ก๐ง๐๐๐๐ฎ."
"๐๐๐ค ๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐จ๐ค๐ฃ?"
"๐๐๐ฃ๐, ๐๐๐ฃ๐. ๐'๐ก๐ก ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฌ๐๐ค ๐๐ฉ ๐๐จ!"
Smiling, <๐๐ก๐๐๐ง ๐๐ช> looked towards <๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐> standing in the crowd,"<๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐>, ๐๐ ๐ ๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ง ๐๐ค๐ง๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐ก๐ฎ, ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ข๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ '๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ' ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐จ๐ค๐ฃ'๐จ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ช๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ , ๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ?"
"๐๐ค ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ <๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐>?"
"๐๐ค, ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐๐จ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ <๐๐ก๐๐๐ง ๐๐ช> ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก?"
"๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ <๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐> ๐๐ช๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐ฉ?"
"๐๐ค ๐ฌ๐๐ฎ!"
Everyone was surprised by what <๐๐ก๐๐๐ง ๐๐ช> said.
"๐ ๐๐ข, <๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ช>!"
<๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐> was feeling cocky but still remained calm.
He was the protagonist after all!
Even after continuously being stopped by 'some' person, he still got his chance.
<๐๐ก๐๐๐ง ๐๐ช> nodded and said , "๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐จ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฉ ๐ช๐จ ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐ข๐ช๐จ๐๐, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฉ ๐ข๐ฎ ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ช๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค๐ฅ-๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐จ ๐จ๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐ ๐ก๐๐ ๐."
He wanted to get <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> and <๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐> along anyway.
After <๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐> got here, he had been noticing what Qin Tian had been doing.
Before, when Qin Tian told everyone not to reveal their gifts, he was a little surprised.
But he didn't think that Qin Tian did so on purpose.
Now, he wouldn't give up on such a good opportunity.
<๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> didn't like <๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐> .
But since her '๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐' wanted to, she couldn't refuse.
Just as everyone was thinking about their own things , <๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐> suddenly spoke, "<๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ช> , ๐ ๐๐ค๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ช๐ก๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ."
"๐๐๐ฎ? ๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐ค๐ข๐?"
<๐๐ก๐๐๐ง ๐๐ช> was confused.
He knew that his granddaughter's favorite hobby was playing the piano.
He tried really hard to get <๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐> to show off in front of his granddaughter.
How come this kid didn't want to play it now?
"<๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ช> , ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ <๐๐ช ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ฃ> ๐ฌ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ง๐๐จ๐จ <๐๐ง. ๐๐๐ฃ> ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ, ๐จ๐ค ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ <๐๐ง. ๐๐๐ฃ> ๐จ๐๐ค๐ช๐ก๐ ๐๐ค ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฉ."
<๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฃ๐> was being very polite, but he still couldn't hide his urge to laugh.
'๐๐ฐ๐ฏ'๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐ฆ? ๐'๐ฎ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ด๐ญ๐ข๐ฑ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ง๐ช๐ณ๐ด๐ต!'
