Gu Yao could not understand the score, so he imitated Qiao Xi’s gesture and casually played a tune. Then, beautiful music flowed out from his fingertips. Although the notes were a little inaccurate, he was already a genius to be able to learn the complete piece in just half an hour!
Qiao Xi was dumbfounded. Gu Yao had probably never learned the piano before and could not understand the score. He had only seen her play the song a few times, but he could actually play it?
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow.
Hah! Gu Yao knew how to play the piano?
Ever since he was young, Huang Lilan had always wanted to raise Gu Yao to be a good-for-nothing. In order to cooperate with Huang Lilan, Gu Yao did not learn anything. He just followed Huang Lilan’s wishes. He lazed around and played all day.
He had never learned music and did not know how to read music scores, but he could play this song perfectly after only listening to it a few times. This meant that Gu Yao was indeed a musical genius.
At this moment, Gu Yao was also looking at his hand in shock. His clear and bright eyes were filled with confusion.
Generally speaking, one had to start learning music from a young age. Some children started learning when they were four or five years old. There were also people like Gu Yao who only started learning musical instruments in their 20s, but those who could become talented at it were extremely rare. After all, the best time for them to pick up a new skill had already passed. Moreover, they had practiced nearly 10 years less than those who started early. It was very difficult for them to surpass their peers.
Qiao Xi looked at Gu Yao sitting there and suddenly had a feeling that Gu Yao was born for the piano!
Gu Yao was stunned.
He originally just wanted to prove that he was also an idiot at music and comfort Gu Zheng. However, he did not expect that Gu Zheng would seem like the only idiot since he was playing so well.
Gu Yao was afraid that his sudden talent would hurt Gu Zheng’s ego, so he carefully looked up at Gu Zheng. He saw a smile in Gu Zheng’s eyes and nodded. “You play very well.”
Gu Yao: “???” ‘Did I hear wrongly?! Gu Zheng praised me?’
Qiao Xi looked at Gu Yao and asked softly, “Gu Yao, do you want to learn the piano?”
“Huh?” Gu Yao looked at her in a daze.
“What musical instrument do you want to learn? I can get my teacher or Fourth Brother to teach you.” Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
Gu Yao scratched his head and was a little shy. “Mr. Liang and Xue Liang! They’re so powerful. Will they look down on me?”
Qiao Xi knew that Gu Yao liked Xue Liang’s paintings very much. Previously, he had even asked her for tickets to Xue Liang’s art exhibition. At that time, she knew that Gu Yao appreciated art, but she did not expect this kid to be so outstanding in music.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Qiao Xi’s mind. Her grandmother had said that Yue Tangqing was also a pianist. Moreover, the Yue family would produce at least one pianist in every generation. Could it be…
However, this was just a guess. Now that the Yue family had long retired and her grandmother could not contact them, it was still a little difficult to investigate this matter.
However, no matter what, she had to let Gu Yao learn music. She could not waste his talent. Huang Lilan had already delayed him for so many years. It was time for Gu Yao to pursue what he liked.
Fourth Brother and Teacher had always loved talents. They would definitely be very happy to see a talented music genius like Gu Yao.
Qiao Xi had always hoped that Gu Yao could escape Huang Lilan’s shadow and live freely for once. He could do whatever he wanted now. His life had just begun, so he should be glorious and brilliant!
…
The next afternoon.
Qiao Xi received a call from Xue Liang. Xue Liang’s excited voice came from the phone. “Little Six, do you know why I haven’t played the piano for so many years and have been focusing on learning painting instead?
“That’s because there are fewer and fewer people around me who really know how to play the piano. But today, I saw a musical genius! He rekindled the hope in my heart. I’m really too lucky to be able to meet such a genius in met lifetime! Moreover, I remember you saying that he has never learned the piano, but he understood it immediately. It’s as if music is engraved in his bones! Little Six, I, I…”
Qiao Xi said, “Fourth Brother, calm down.”
Xue Liang had never been so excited before. He could not suppress his emotions at all. “He’s the most talented person I’ve ever met. He’s stronger than us. Little Six, if he had learned the piano since he was young, he would have already become a superstar pianist both domestically and overseas!”
Qiao Xi knew very well in her heart that Xue Liang was already very talented in music. When he was 10 years old, he was completely capable of performing in concert halls. Back then, her teacher took a liking to his talent and wholeheartedly nurtured him to become a musician. After that, he gradually achieved success both domestically and overseas. It was just that for some reason, he suddenly stopped practicing the piano and started learning how to paint. Now, Xue Liang said that Gu Yao’s talent was even higher than his.
