Chapter 397 Genius
Jiang Yu took the cello and was about to sit down to play when Jimmy called out, “Wait!”
Jiang Yu was confused and asked, “Is there anything else?”
Jimmy pointed ode with a triumphant look on his face. “Go outside. Since you said you know how to play the cello, go outside and play it for everyone passing by.”
Yuan Lai felt that this Jimmy was really a little too much, he couldn’t help but argue, “I say, aren’t you a little too much? This is just a competition between the two of you, but you’re saying this as if you want us to go out and perform?! Aren’t you too insulting?!”
Jimmy said proudly, “You said it yourself, I didn’t say it.”
Yuan Lai was exasperated. “You! What do you mean by that?!”
“It doesn’t matter, just go outside.” Jiang Yu stopped Yuan Lai from getting angry. “Jiang Yu! He’s insulting you!” Yuan Lai complained.
“This is art. Art is meant to be appreciated by both the refined and the vulgar. It’s not like it’s only called art if you perform on the stage,” Jiang Yu said with a smile.
Hearing Jiang Yu’s words, Yuan Lai didn’t know what to say anymore.
Jimmy raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect Jiang Yu to have such thoughts.
Jiang Yu took a chair and sat down at the entrance of the restaurant. She asked Yuan Lai to connect the strings of the cello for her. She first tested the notes, then got into a position, thinking about what song to play in her mind.
As Jimmy watched, he felt that Jiang Yu had done a good job on the surface, but what was her true strength like? He was really looking forward to it.
He even imagined Jiang Yu coming back crying and saying that he didn’t know how to play the cello at all. It would be a little embarrassing to show off in front of his seniors.
When he thought of this, Jimmy couldn’t help but laugh.
“… What a perverted laugh,” Yuan Lai couldn’t help but comment.
Jiang Yu thought about it in her head and decided to play this song.
A melodious voice poured out from under Jiang Yu’s hands, as if it had washed people’s hearts and made them cleaner.
This song attracted more and more people to gather around. They were all immersed in the song Jiang Yu was playing, unable to extricate themselves.
Jimmy’s face was a little embarrassed.
What Jiang Yu was playing was the famous cello piece — “Cello Concerto in E minor”!
This was the work of the famous musician Elgar. In the cello world, there weren’t many people who could play this piece accurately by themselves!
But this Jiang Yu, not only did she play this piece by herself, she even grasped the emotions within it!
No… No! How is this possible?!
At this moment, Jimmy felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been slapped by someone.
It seemed that he had underestimated this Jiang Yu.
The bullet screens were also flooding with comments for Jiang Yu. “Oh my God! Jiang Yu really knows how to play the cello?!”
“Oh my God! Didn’t she only teach herself for a few months?”
“She taught herself for a few months, and she can even play this piece. Isn’t that amazing?!”
“May I ask what this piece is?”
“It’s ‘Cello Concerto in E minor’, a world-class masterpiece. Think about the value of it yourself.”
“Oh my God! Is Jiang Yu that amazing?!”
“Hahaha, that Jimmy has nothing to say
now!”
…
In fact, Jimmy really had nothing to say.
This Jiang Yu was indeed extremely talented. He had misjudged her back then.
