Chapter 1188 - 797: Yin Huaiyu’s Performance, Unbearable to Hear! (Part 3)

No mistakes.

"No mistakes?" Zhou Guangren tilted his head, looking in astonishment at Prince Huang, "Making so many errors, yet you still say you made no mistakes? Every teacher here says you’re a piano genius... But how come this genius doesn’t even know he made mistakes? Or could it be... a natural fool?"

"Mr. Zhou, even if Huaiyu’s performance wasn’t perfect, it’s quite disrespectful for you to speak so insultingly, isn’t it?"

Su Xiaomeng wasn’t as tolerant as Prince Huang. As soon as Zhou Guangren spoke these words, as a mother, she just couldn’t stand it.

"Huaiyu’s mom, I must admit, I’m not very tactful in my speech, and sometimes I might really say things that are hurtful, but... I never speak lies!"

"..."

Su Xiaomeng furrowed her brow, thinking to herself: You’re the only one saying my son’s piano playing is unbearable, yet claiming you never lie. If you ask me, you’re just spouting nonsense.

Starting by calling yourself China’s most senior piano educator... with such a big name... yet can’t even speak properly, what kind of educator is that!

"Mr. Zhou... I personally guide Huaiyu usually. If today’s performance was lacking, it could be due to exam nerves affecting his play. Huaiyu is truly a talented piano student," Mr. Ke quickly stepped forward to say.

"Just like that? And you call it talent? Strange, all the teachers at this children’s art center praise this child... How come I don’t hear anything great in his playing?"

Zhou Guangren touched his head, scratching his hair, mumbling, "Could it be I’m really getting old? Losing the basic judgment between genius and fool?"

Su Xiaomeng thought, maybe that’s indeed the case.

But looking at the two elders in front, she knew they were the examiners for this grade ten exam, and if they were offended, she feared they might secretly sabotage Huang’s chances.

"Well, Mr. Zhou... um... if Huaiyu really didn’t perform well this time, we’ll practice more at home and take the exam again. Anyway, thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your guidance to Huaiyu. I believe Huaiyu will certainly remember Mr. Zhou’s teachings."

Su Xiaomeng hurriedly tried to mediate.

However, Zhou Guangren seemed to be an elder who completely disregarded conventions, as Su Xiaomeng spoke, he merely waved his index finger, his gaze falling on Yin Huaiyu’s face.

"Playing piano is your own business, kid, if you have any thoughts, don’t keep them bottled up like a mute, aren’t you capable of speaking up?"

Prince Huang gazed at Zhou Guangren with wide eyes, smiling silently for a long while, before saying,

"Where did I go wrong?"

"Haha! Hahaha! If you admit you’re a fool, I’ll tell you where you went wrong, how about that?"

"..."

Su Xiaomeng took a deep breath, just as she was about to speak, Mr. Ke swiftly held her back, shaking his head at her.

"If you tell me where I went wrong and convince me thoroughly, I will admit to being a fool!"

Prince Huang spoke with seriousness, each word filled with the little fellow’s defiant spirit.

Su Xiaomeng pressed her lips together, choosing not to interrupt...

"Okay, follow me."

With that said, Elder Zhou took the cane that Guan Su had picked up earlier and wobbling like Donald Duck, walked towards the examination room.

Yin Huaiyu immediately followed.

Su Xiaomeng and Mr. Ke followed closely behind...

At this moment, a student was taking the exam inside the examination room. The student drew a relatively difficult piece and seemed a bit nervous, making several mistakes in a row...

At least in Yin Huaiyu’s eyes, the person’s playing sounded just like a disaster scene.

Yet... Elder Zhou had his chin raised, his hand unconsciously lifted up to conduct, looking quite enjoying the performance...

Yin Huaiyu frowned again, completely unable to understand this old gentleman.

Once the piece was finished, the person let out a breath, stood up from the piano stool, bowed to the teachers, and then left the stage.

Zhou Guangren gave Prince Huang a sideways glance, "How do you think that person’s playing compares to yours?"

"I’m better."

"Nonsense! You’re far behind!"

Zhou Guangren glanced at him and then confidently headed towards the piano, sitting on the piano stool. The other examiners were caught off guard seeing Zhou Guangren suddenly sitting at the exam piano, they looked at each other, puzzled.
