Su Jinbei replied, "Whatever."
He looked at his sister again, and she said, "Whatever."
Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's play the same piece we just played."
"No, that would be embarrassing for them," Qiao Jingjing said.
"That's what makes it fun, isn't it? Urban fantasy novels all love this kind of formula," Qiao Yu said.
Qiao Jingjing pouted: "Shut up, what did they do to you that you want to slap them in the face? That's called forcing a routine."
Qiao Yu said, "But if it's not formulaic, it will feel too bland and boring. If the formula is too strong, the reader will feel that their intelligence has been insulted."
Qiao Jingjing sighed, "That's why showing off is a skill."
Qiao Yu looked at her and said, "You don't need to pretend. You were born with this skill."
"Find a fight."
Qiao Jingjing rushed over and pinched her younger brother's ear.
Qiao Yu quickly dodged.
Qiao Yu said, "How about 'The First Person I Loved'?"
“No,” Su Jinbei said, “Jingjing sings this song all the time in the middle of the night, I’m sick of it.”
Why are you singing "The First Person I Loved"?
Qiao Yu looked at Qiao Jingjing.
Qiao Jingjing said urgently, "It's none of your business."
“Let’s call it ‘Later’,” Qiao Yu said again.
"No."
The two older sisters said in unison.
Qiao Yu glanced at the two of them. "Didn't you say it was up to you?"
Okay, that's very womanly.
He stood up, then suddenly remembered something: "If I go up like this, I'll be recognized, won't I?"
This is in the far suburbs of Shanghai, not in other provinces.
Someone might recognize him.
Then Qiao Jingjing was implicated, and the trip turned into a fan meeting...
Qiao Jingjing thought for a moment, "Put on the sunglasses your sister bought you."
Feeling uneasy, she covered her brother's head with her wide-brimmed hat, giggling as she did so.
"Even her own mother wouldn't recognize her like this."
Qiao Yu went over and asked, "May I use this piano?"
The waiter looked up and stared intently at the oddly dressed customer. "Okay, one hundred."
Restaurants with built-in pianos are uncommon.
Some restaurants allow diners to play the piano, while others do not.
After all, you just played a bunch of random tunes.
What to do if you annoy a customer and they leave?
But Qiao Yu had never seen one that charged a fee.
However, considering that this is a tourist attraction, the various bizarre charges are understandable.
This is a grand piano, its black lacquer gleaming.
It's still quite new.
Grand pianos are suitable for large performances or professionals.
Most pianos used in homes are upright pianos.
Qiao Yu had never played an upright piano before.
Of all the people I know, only Huang Chengzi owns a piano.
It's still a flashy grand piano.
Qiao Yu sat at the front of the piano, his back straight and strong, like a bamboo joint.
Qiao Jingjing pointed at him and said, "Isn't my little brother handsome?"
Su Jinbei hummed twice: "Handsome!"
What's most handsome about him isn't his face, but his spirit and energy!
Su Jinbei comes from an extraordinary family.
I've seen so many handsome men that I can't even count them all on my hands and feet.
Qiao Yu was actually only of average to above-average ability.
But his spirit and energy are truly unparalleled, making him irresistibly attractive at first glance.
Qiao Jingjing wrinkled her nose: "I won't give it to you."
Su Jinbei was taken aback and rolled her eyes.
While talking.
The sound of a piano floated up.
The melody is beautiful, combining gentleness with strength.
"The first person you ever loved?" Qiao Jingjing immediately recognized the voice from her debut work and pouted, "It was alright."
Su Jinbei said, "Yes, the melody is relatively simple."
At this point, the rhythm reaches a low and gentle section in the middle, then a glissando occurs, and the bright melody suddenly becomes melodious and ethereal.
"Huh?" Qiao Jingjing was taken aback.
"Did you play it wrong?" Qiao Jingjing asked, puzzled.
A touch of joy mixed with ethereal beauty, a hint of liveliness within melodious tunes—that's the song she sang, "Love You."
She thought her brother might have made a mistake.
Did you mix up the two songs?
"Yeah……"
Su Jinbei hadn't heard this song much before.
"How embarrassing! Luckily I wore sunglasses." Qiao Jingjing covered her face.
"Did you play the wrong song? You were just playing 'The First Person I Loved,' but the melody sounds familiar. I remember what it's called again?"
"That was the first person I ever loved, and that's also Qiao Jingjing's song called 'Love You'."
"It must have been a mistake. Oh well, I'll just listen to it anyway, I'm not a professional."
Many tourists in the hall also recognized it.
Qiao Jingjing's songs became hits across the country.
Qiao Yu played "The First Person I Loved," which they initially thought sounded quite nice.
I thought to myself, this young man is quite capable.
Many people sing "The First Person I Loved," but few play the piano.
Qiao Yu was completely focused.
He bowed his head, focused on playing the piano.
My hands dance across the black and white keys, striking them steadily and powerfully.
Everyone has accepted that "The First Person I Loved" has become "Love You".
But as I listened...
Suddenly, something felt off. Was "Love You" really that elegant?
This melody...
I go!
Chi Ling?
When did it transition to Chi Ling? I didn't hear it.
"Uh... why are you playing Chi Ling again? I just realized."
"Played the wrong note again?"
"This isn't a misplay, it's a medley! The medley is so seamless, it doesn't feel abrupt at all, and the transitions are very smooth."
"Yes, if I hadn't heard these songs before, I would have thought they were all the same."
"This young man is quite capable."
The tourists whispered among themselves, initially paying no attention to "The First Person I Loved," as they continued chatting amongst themselves.
They later discovered that the young man had fired the wrong bullet.
A few amusing remarks, and then it's over.
But now I realize that they didn't play the wrong notes at all; it was a medley.
Su Jinbei exclaimed, "You played so well."
Qiao Jingjing suppressed her surprise and snorted, "All you do is show off."
Being too flashy can easily lead to unintentionally attracting girls.
The melody of "Red Nightingale" is coming to an end.
It slipped away in sorrow, gradually falling into a slump.
