Guo Yuan said, “Then you don’t have to worry. I can afford to eat.”
Jiang Yu stopped looking at her and said, “If there’s nothing else, please go back. It’s not very appropriate for you to stay here all the time.”
Guo Yuan spat, “Do you think I want to stay here? I didn’t want to come over to look at Tian Guo’s clothes. Anyway, I’ve already seen them. I don’t want to waste my breath here with you.”
Guo Yuan brought her lackeys back. Dai Zhu stomped her feet in anger and said, “Jiang Yu, why aren’t you angry at her for saying that?”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “What’s there to be angry about with that kind of person?”
What Jiang Yu said made sense, but Dai Zhu just couldn’t swallow her anger. However, the competition was tomorrow. She would let Guo Yuan off for the next two days.
When the competition was over, she would definitely teach Guo Yuan a lesson!
A Day passed quickly. Dai Zhu, Lu Qi, and the others put on their support clothes and entered the audience seats with tickets.
“Lu Qi! What’s with your expression? Don’t you think this outfit is pretty?” Dai Zhu held Lu Qi’s arm while she held Tian Guo’s arm.
Lu Qi said helplessly, “I’ve already said that this outfit is ugly…”
Dai Zhu and Tian Guo immediately refuted her, “This outfit is not ugly at all!”
Lu Qi said, “… Alright, alright, the competition will start soon.”
Upon hearing that, Dai Zhu and Tian Guo quickly sat down obediently and waited for Jiang Yu to go on stage.
This time, there were two preliminaries for the international piano competition, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The one in the morning was to play the song that the judges had assigned, while the one in the afternoon was to improvise on the theme that the judges had given them.
The preliminaries in the morning did not have much focus, but the preliminaries in the afternoon were very interesting.
All the contestants had to face the same theme. Who knew how good their improvisation skills were?
In the preliminaries in the morning, the designated song given by the judges was “City In The Sky” by Hisashi. It was a very quiet piano piece.
Dai Zhu was almost sleepy after listening to it. She said, “Why is it not the afternoon yet? I still want to see Jiang Yu’s improvisation skills.”
Lu Qi said, “Wait a little longer. It will be over soon. When it’s time, we can go for lunch and then come back to watch the preliminaries in the afternoon.”
Dai Zhu said, “Everyone is playing a piece of music. It was very nice at the beginning, but after listening to it more than ten times, I’m sleepy.”
Tian Guo said, “We want to feel the feelings of the pianist who is immersed in the piano piece.”
Dai Zhu said with a bitter face, “But I can only tell if a piece is good or not. I can’t feel anything else.”
Lu Qi said, “Okay, this is the last contestant. We can go to lunch soon.”
Dai Zhu quickly nodded and said, “That’s great! But among so many people, I still think that Jiang Yu plays the best! In Tian Guo’s words, Jiang Yu is putting her feelings into the piano piece.”
Tian Guo smiled and said, “You just said that you can’t feel anything else.”
Dai Zhu blushed and whispered, “Tian Guo! Don’t make fun of me!”
The last contestant also finished playing. The judges recorded their scores on the paper in front of them, and the counters calculated their scores, then, the last five contestants would be eliminated.
Hearing this news, Dai Zhu became clear-headed. She asked carefully, “Is the competition in the preliminaries so cruel?”
Lu Qi explained, “It’s called the preliminaries, but it’s almost the semi-finals. Then, the official competition in a week will be the final.”
