Chapter 541 - Little Mute Is Here

“—This Zhan Busi looks quite impressive, but Qin Shuang should know how to play the piano!”

“Could Sister Xi bring more surprises?”

Under everyone’s expectations, Xue Xi and Qin Shuang pushed open the door. When they saw the person behind the piano, both of them raised their brows.

Ah, another old acquaintance!

Xia Yiyi, Xue Xi, and Qin Shuang were stunned.

Then, Xia Yiyi stood up excitedly.

She extended her hand and was about to gesture something when Zhan Busi and Xu Xinyao walked in. When they saw Xia Yiyi, Zhan Busi was stunned. He shouted in surprise, “Xia? So you’re the referee for this round!”

Xu Xinyao’s fans were ecstatic.

“Hahaha, do you really think your Sister Xi is the only one who knows someone? Our Xu Xinyao has brought a top student too! There’s no need for them to take this test anymore!”

“—Wow, it looks like they really know each other!”

“He’s going to slap Sis Xi’s face this time! I don’t believe that someone who plays games so well and studies so well can play the piano!”

“—Waiting for someone to be slapped in the face!”

Meanwhile, the comments on Qin Shuang’s live-stream went crazy.

“—Oh no, oh no, look at how Zhan Busi and the referee actually know each other! Just before, it was Sister Xi who knew Xiao Fei, and now it’s Zhan Busi who knows the piano referee. Are they playing the School Tyrant, or are they playing a game of acknowledging relatives!?”

“Is Sister Xi going to lose to Zhan Busi in this round? Actually, it doesn’t matter even if she loses, right? After all, it doesn’t matter if she loses one point. Zhan Busi might not even get that one point in eSports!”

“Ah ah ah ah, even though I know it’s impossible, in the eSports room just now, Sister Xi’s face-smacking really felt great! I want to see Sister Xi continue slapping her face!”

“Maybe I’m crazy. Why do I feel like the coach is looking at Sister Xi?”

...

No one in the room knew what was going on in the comments.

At this moment, after Zhan Busi shouted this name, Xu Xinyao, like the fans on the bullet screen, thought that it was finally her turn to be lucky!

She immediately smiled and said, “Zhan Busi, do you know each other?”

Zhan Busi smiled. “That’s right. A month ago, we both participated in the Texas Piano Competition. Xia won first place, while I, lower than Xia, won second place.”

He looked at Xia Yiyi. “Xia, do you still remember me?”

Xia Yiyi was a kind person and had never had any bad intentions. When she heard what he said, she nodded.

Zhan Busi smiled and said, “Then what is this round?”

The staff hurriedly explained, “Put simply, Teacher Xia gave us a music score, and you all will play following the music score and will be judged based on who does it more smoothly.”

Other people would listen to whoever played the music more smoothly. Xia Yiyi would only be watching because she couldn’t hear it.

Zhan Busi smiled and said, “Then I think this round will be a success.”

Zhan Busi had almost tied with Xia Yiyi in the competition. If Xia Yiyi was satisfied with them playing the piano, he would definitely be able to do it.

Xu Xinyao heaved a sigh of relief.

The production team also laughed. “I really didn’t expect such a wonderful encounter. Then, Teacher Xia, does he still need to play the piano?”

Xia Yiyi’s translator was behind her, but there was no need for her to translate their conversation. Although Xia Yiyi really wanted to greet Sister Xi, she had to stare at other people’s mouths to see what they were saying, so she could only stare at Zhan Busi and the program team staff.

At this moment, Xia Yiyi finally had a chance to speak after the production crew asked this question.

Hence, she raised her hands and said something.

The person beside her started to translate. “I feel that he really doesn’t need to play anymore. This stage is relatively easy to pass. I can give him this point.”

Zhan Busi and Xu Xinyao looked at each other and smiled.

Xu Xinyao looked at Xue Xi and Qin Shuang and pretended to speak gently. “Qin Shuang, do you need Zhan Busi to tell you about Ms. Xia’s personal preferences? It will be convenient for you to know that to pass the exam later.”

Qin Shuang: “...No need.”

Xu Xinyao sighed. “You have a point. After all, this stage won’t be too difficult.”

On the bullet screen, Xu Xinyao’s fans were elated!

“—Zhan Busi is a pianist himself and has a certain standard of playing. Such a person is a genius!”

“—That’s right, I’ve never seen a top student who is good at gaming!”

“—Playing the piano falls under Taoism, but what’s the point of playing games?”

Qin Shuang’s fans knew that people were attacking them and came over one by one.

“—How ignorant. That’s not just gaming, that’s eSports!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“—Do you understand the spirit of eSports? In just 12 years, eSports has already become a recognized sport by the country. Now, there are international POG competitions, and winning it would bring glory to the country.”

“Besides, even if my Sister Xi doesn’t know how to play the piano, Qin Shuang does! Qin Shuang was dancing just now. Why didn’t I see your bet dancing? Is Xu Xinyao just a pretty face with no talent?”

“Yes, our Qin Shuang and Sister Xi haven’t even started playing the piano yet. Why are you guys in raptures over here? Don’t get slapped in the face again later!”

Xu Xinyao’s fans bragged.

“Tsk, Scanford’s top student is indeed more impressive than that of Huaxia University. There’s no doubt about that! Scanford’s international ranking is higher than Huaxia University’s after all. What’s there to argue about? Couldn’t she just admit defeat?”

Under this comment, a lot of people started to curse: “Get lost, you traitor!”

...

As the two of them spoke, Zhan Busi was still being polite to Xia Yiyi. “Xia, may I ask if your master is also in the capital city? I would like to visit him.”

As soon as he said this, Zhan Busi smiled again. “I don’t think everyone knows that Xia’s master is actually the famous pianist, Master Zhou Zhou. I’ve always wanted to acknowledge Zhou as my master, but in recent years, he has only chosen Xia as his student.”

Only by elevating Xia Yiyi could he elevate himself.

Zhan Busi understood the reasoning behind this. It was a blessing to be able to get to know Zhou Zhou!

Xia Yiyi shook her head and nodded. She lifted her hands and gestured. The interpreter said, “My master is not here now, but he will pick me up after the program ends. We can then visit a friend together.”

Zhan Busi said, “If there’s a chance, I want to meet Master Zhou.”

Xia Yiyi nodded and gestured a few times. The interpreter said, “I’ll mention it to Master when I have the chance, but Master is very busy and doesn’t like to see outsiders. It’s not certain if he’d agree or not.”

Zhan Busi hurriedly nodded. “Of course.”

After saying that, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “I wonder who Master Zhou’s friend is? Can you tell me? If not, it’s fine.”

When Xia Yiyi saw him say this, she could finally look at Xue Xi again. Immediately, she stood up and flew to Xue Xi excitedly like a butterfly, grabbing her arm.

She then looked at Zhan Busi and pointed a finger at Xue Xi!
