Chapter 65

As Cheng Xiaoyu placed her fingers, finishing the last note, Su Yuxi gently clapped. Such a performance on the piano could only be appreciated by someone who had reached the pinnacle of piano playing. One had to be clear about the position of each key, the sound it produced, and be able to form a melody in one's mind based on what was seen. Without extraordinary talent and a powerful memory, it was impossible to play, let alone appreciate.

The deaf Beethoven wrote his most famous "Symphony of Fate" in this way.

Su Yuxi found it very interesting and gestured for Cheng Xiaoyu to stand up and switch seats with her. Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi exchanged places, watching her wave her long, crystal-clear fingers.

It turned out to be the piano version of "The Sword Drawing Tune," and Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. To be able to transcribe a piece after hearing it just once, her musical sensitivity and memory were truly remarkable.

If Cheng Xiaoyu were not a穿越者 (穿越者 means someone who has traveled through time or space, but in this context, it refers to someone from a different world or time), she would only feel inferior in front of such a talented girl. In fact, Su Yuxi had heard it twice, but Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know. However, the difference between hearing it once and twice wasn't significant, especially given the long interval between the two times.

Such a performance was particularly draining, and by the time Su Yuxi finished, there were beads of sweat on her forehead. She asked Cheng Xiaoyu in a cute manner, "There shouldn't be any mistakes, right?"

Cheng Xiaoyu also clapped gently, looking at her sister, who was so different from usual, and felt the moment was beautiful. She smiled and said, "Perfect, your ability on the piano is much stronger than mine."

Su Yuxi moved her fingers on the piano keys drawn on the table and said, "But I don't have any creative ability!"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "God has already been very unfair. You already have so much, and you still demand perfection. How can ordinary people like us survive?"

But beautiful moments are always brief, and the two hadn't been sitting for long. Before she could finish her sentence, Cheng Xiaoyu's phone rang. She saw it was Su Weilan's call and answered, "Are you with Yuxi?"

Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at Su Yuxi, hesitated, and said, "Yes, we are."

"Where did you go? Haven't you arrived at the KTV yet?" Su Weilan asked.

Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated, unsure whether to tell the truth, but with Su Yuxi present, she couldn't lie. She said, "We are at the library."

"Oh! What are you doing at the library?..." Su Weilan hadn't finished asking when the phone seemed to be snatched away, and Su Hongwen's voice came through, "Xiaoyu, come to the Tongque Terrace V88 room with Yuxi. Tell Yuxi that Brother Xueren is also here, and she should come quickly." Cheng Xiaoyu had already turned down the volume and put it on speaker, so Su Yuxi could hear as well.

Seeing that Su Yuxi didn't react, Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Oh, right away." The other side hung up.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know who Brother Xueren was and didn't feel comfortable asking. Looking at Su Yuxi, whose expression was a bit gloomy, she said, "What should we do? It seems we can't avoid it."

Su Yuxi frowned and said, "Why don't you go, and I'll go back."

Cheng Xiaoyu, of course, didn't want to go either. She frowned and asked, "That's strange, why didn't they call you?"

Su Yuxi gave Cheng Xiaoyu a look that said, "How can you be so silly?" and said, "I turned off my phone."

Cheng Xiaoyu found Su Yuxi's expression incredibly cute and laughed, "My fault, I didn't think they would call me. I thought if I didn't go, they wouldn't call. If you hadn't turned off your phone, they probably wouldn't have called me." As he said this, he didn't feel wronged, mostly just self-deprecating.

Su Yuxi picked up the books on the table and stood up, saying, "It's fine."

Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Let's deal with the drawings on the table another day." In fact, there were also many "I was here" and "I must be happy" messages, as well as many comics on the table, so the piano keys drawn on it didn't seem out of place.

As they were talking, Cheng Xiaoyu received another text message urging them to come.

Cheng Xiaoyu could only sigh, picked up the books, and stood up. She showed the phone to Su Yuxi and said, "Several messages came in. It seems you can't avoid this if you don't go. Who is Brother Xueren?" Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"His grandfather is the Premier, but I don't remember him very clearly. I don't want to spend time on unimportant things," Su Yuxi said, seemingly finding it funny and smiling.

Cheng Xiaoyu felt a cold sweat, worried about Su Yuxi's sense of humor.

The two bought the books they had chosen and were about to leave the library when a young man suddenly ran up and stopped Su Yuxi, saying, "Beautiful lady, can I get to know you?"

Su Yuxi didn't even look at the young man and said, "No."

Cheng Xiaoyu estimated that Su Yuxi's skill in rejecting advances was already at a level of over ten thousand. She shook her head, looking at the young man who had just received ten thousand points of real damage, his health bar empty, and sighed, starting to doubt whether the smiles she had seen on Su Yuxi today were all illusions.

In the end, the two decided to go to the KTV to sit for a while, stopped a car, and headed to the Tongque Terrace.

Arriving at the magnificent Tongque Terrace, they were led to the V88 room by a beautiful hostess in a high-slit cheongsam with a curvaceous figure.

Cheng Xiaoyu pushed open the door and saw a circle of people sitting in the large room. If it weren't for Su Hongwen, who was standing and singing, Cheng Xiaoyu would have thought she had entered the wrong room.

Cheng Xiaoyu walked in, and Su Yuxi followed.

Then a tall, handsome boy in a black shirt stood up and walked over to Su Yuxi, saying, "Su Yuxi, it's been a long time."

Su Yuxi nodded lightly and said, "Brother Gu, it's been a long time."

Cheng Xiaoyu then realized that this prince-like figure was the Premier's grandson.

Gu Xueren greeted Su Yuxi and then turned to shake hands with Cheng Xiaoyu, saying, "You must be Su Yuxi's brother?"

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded but had no desire to converse with Gu Xueren.

Gu Xueren wasn't overly enthusiastic with Cheng Xiaoyu either. He first called a few companions to stand up and made room for Su Yuxi to sit near him.

He then arranged a seat a bit further from the center for Cheng Xiaoyu and asked a companion to drink with him. Cheng Xiaoyu sat down, and the person next to her took an empty glass and poured beer for her.

Cheng Xiaoyu hurriedly waved her hand and refused, saying, "Sorry, I'm still a high school student and don't drink."

The person smiled and said, "I'm Huang He, call me Brother Huang. A glass of beer is no big deal, let's have one to show our friendship." He clinked glasses with Cheng Xiaoyu and drank it all in one go.

Cheng Xiaoyu had no choice but to raise her glass and drink it all. The bitter taste rolled on her tongue, making her body, which was not yet accustomed to alcohol, a bit uncomfortable.

Brother Huang patted Cheng Xiaoyu's shoulder and said, "Good buddy," and refilled her glass, but didn't continue toasting.

Gu Xueren kept talking to Su Yuxi, who responded intermittently.

Su Feifei was chatting with Wu Zixuan, and next to them, Su Weilan was drinking with a particularly beautiful and extremely curvaceous woman. Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at her and found her very familiar. After some thought, she recalled that the woman was the 36D model Sun Jingyao, who had left a deep impression on her. The magazine had introduced her as a new generation supermodel who was also developing in the film and television industry, having starred in several dramas. Sun Jingyao was wearing a black dress, purple stockings, and black suede high heels, and even sitting on the sofa, it was hard to hide the fullness of her chest.

Su Hongwen was clearly a traditional karaoke king, singing non-stop from the moment Cheng Xiaoyu entered. Even when others picked songs, he would grab the microphone and sing a few lines.

Brother Huang asked Cheng Xiaoyu why she didn't pick a song, and Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I can't sing."

Brother Huang smiled and said, "I'm also tone-deaf," and then toasted Cheng Xiaoyu again.

During this time, Gu Xueren also drank a glass with Cheng Xiaoyu and half-heartedly asked her to sing, which Cheng Xiaoyu refused with the excuse that she couldn't sing.

Although Su Yuxi didn't like pop songs, she had to practice some due to her training in the idol plan. Under the strong request of the group, she sang two songs, winning a round of applause.

Cheng Xiaoyu felt that Su Yuxi also had a talent for singing, with excellent natural conditions. Although she wasn't as good as Xia Shamo, she was still very good. Her high notes were splendid and steady, and her mid-range was soft and melodious, showing that she had practiced and studied seriously.

Later, Gu Xueren picked a duet and invited Su Yuxi to sing with him. Su Yuxi said she couldn't sing, so Gu Xueren had to sing with Su Feifei.

Cheng Xiaoyu spent the difficult time at the KTV in a state of boredom, having drunk quite a bit of alcohol. When they left, she felt a bit tipsy. Since no one was going to send her, she lagged behind, and the person in front of her was the beautifully curved Sun Jingyao.

At this moment, Sun Jingyao had put on a short fur coat, but her perfectly shaped buttocks still dominated Cheng Xiaoyu's vision. Probably all normal men had the impulse to rush forward and touch them.

Just as Cheng Xiaoyu's evil thoughts flashed through her mind, a tragedy occurred. Due to the high heels Sun Jingyao was wearing, which were new and not very comfortable, she felt her ankle twist on the smooth marble floor and fell backward.

At that moment, only Cheng Xiaoyu was behind her, not far away. She instinctively took a step forward to support Sun Jingyao, but because the incident was too sudden, her posture wasn't quite right. Her left hand landed on Sun Jingyao's exquisite and full buttocks, and her right hand passed through Sun Jingyao's armpit and pressed on her large chest.

As Cheng Xiaoyu enjoyed the astonishingly wonderful sensation, her mind instantly conjured up the seductive pose on the magazine cover. The old man's soul couldn't resist pinching a few times.

In that instant, the physical reflex was faster than the brain's command. By the time she realized it was wrong, the mistake had already been made.
