Chapter 175: Only One Song

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mu Youlan observed Fang Jiayi’s embarrassment and sneered, “If you’re clueless about improvisation, just play a famous song you know.”

Fang Jiayi was at a loss. While her tutor had taught her well-known pieces like “Fur Elise” and “Canon,” she couldn’t play them smoothly without referring to the score. Even with the score, her performance wouldn’t match Fang Yuan’s. Her piano proficiency was evident to anyone with knowledge of the instrument.

“Don’t tell me you’re not familiar with the top ten songs?” Mu Youlan’s tone dripped with sarcasm. She found Fang Jiayi’s self-importance amusing.

Fang Jiayi bit her lip, persisting in her defense, “I just created a bit of drama suddenly…”

Amused by Fang Jiayi’s embarrassment and refusal to admit it, Mu Youlan continued, “Since you can’t compose and don’t know the top ten famous songs, just play any random piece you’re familiar with.”

Fang Jiayi remained motionless. She had devoted the past month solely to practicing the song ‘Sorrow’ and hadn’t explored other pieces.

“Why? Can’t you play a song? Don’t you even know the simplest ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’?”

Laughter erupted from the audience.

“Who would’ve thought Fang Jiayi can’t play the piano!”

“It’s not that she can’t play at all. She only knows ‘Sorrow’!”

“She can’t even play a basic piece like ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.’ I learned it when I was three.”

“I happened to meet your former classmate below the stage,” Fang Yuan announced calmly, exuding a strong aura. “Let’s invite her on stage.”

Surprised gazes turned to a girl stepping onto the stage. She introduced herself, saying, “Hello, everyone. I’m He Wanting. I accompanied Wang Jingjing to the award ceremony, and I used to be in the same class as Fang Jiayi.”

Fang Jiayi shouted anxiously, “He Wanting!”

They had once shared a close friendship, but a conflict arose, leading He Wanting to transfer to another school, and their communication ceased.

She never expected her former friend to step forward and expose her. Was it because she had boasted to He Wanting about securing second place before the award ceremony? Or had Fang Yuan somehow influenced He Wanting?

Regardless, Fang Jiayi sensed impending doom. She subconsciously clenched her fists, her face drained of color.

“Fang Jiayi’s family wasn’t well-off in the past. I visited her home, and there was no piano. She envied me for having one at home. Every time she visited my place, she would eagerly play the piano.”

“I can attest that up until high school, she had no knowledge of playing the piano. She didn’t even know the difference between high and low notes. Her piano journey likely began in high school.”

The revelation shocked everyone. They had assumed Fang Jiayi started playing the piano in elementary school, only to discover she began learning in high school?

Fang Jiayi tried to explain softly, “It was after high school that my biological parents hired a piano teacher for me…”

Before she could finish, Fang Yuan interrupted, “Is this the piano teacher you mentioned?”

A young woman stepped onto the stage. She glanced at Fang Jiayi and greeted the audience, “Hello, everyone. I’m Fang Jiayi’s piano teacher. I once taught her piano for a month…”

A month? She only studied to play the piano for a month? The revelation left everyone in shock!
