Tao Zheng rolled his eyes at her. âLook at you. Those who donât know better would think that you bought this piano.â
Tao Yue was a little embarrassed. âThis is my tenth birthday present from Mom.â
âYou play very well.â Tan Rou didnât want to waste her time with Tao Yue. âBut we donât have time to listen to you play the piano. Weâll leave first.â
Tao Yue hurried out of the greenhouse to stop them. âIâm going to participate in the competition soon. Iâve been practicing hard these days, but Iâve been practicing the piano for a whole day. Iâm still a little worried. Why donât you help me listen to it and see if Iâm lacking in anything?â
Tao Yue was just trying to show off her excellent piano skills in front of them. After all, even her teacher praised her piano skills.
Tao Zhi didnât want to waste any more time here. âYou can practice slowly by yourself. Everyone says that playing the piano is like meditation, so we wonât disturb you.â
âWhy donât we enjoy the piano music played by Tao Yue?â Tan Rou gave Tao Zhi a look. She wanted to see what Tao Yue was up to.
Tao Zhi got Tan Ronâs hint, so he said, âIâve thought about it. I canât eat even if I go back now. Why donât I stay and listen to some music?â
Tao Zheng and Tao Qi didnât have the artistic cells to appreciate music, but they stayed to accompany Tan Rou.
The five of them almost filled up the greenhouse.
A shiny black piano was placed in front of Tao Yue. She stretched out her neatly trimmed white fingers and gently pressed a few keys. After testing the notes, she sped up and began to play the music.
This song was very exciting and had a high requirement for hand speed. Moreover, there were many changes in the middle. If there was no coherent sound, the song would be ruined.
Tao Yue didnât finish the song. She only chose the part that best reflected the playerâs skill. After she finished, she asked, âWhat do you think of my performance, Eldest Cousin?â
Without waiting for Tan Rou to answer, Tao Yue seemed to have suddenly remembered something. âOh, 1 almost forgot that you have been living in the Tan family all this time and have never had the chance to come into contact with the piano. I guess you may not know much about playing the piano.â
Tao Zhi looked at Tao Yue coldly. He had to admit that Tao Yue played very well. Even before his hand was injured, he couldnât reach Tao Yueâs speed. Tao Yue wasnât a likable person, but she was very good at playing the piano.
âI really donât know anything about it.â Tan Rou sat on the chair and leaned back leisurely. âBut I heard that there was something wrong with your performance. Did you change it on purpose or did you play it wrong?â
Tao Yue was very surprised. âHow could I have played it wrongly?â
Tan Rou said, âIn the third period, you played the wrong tune at the beginning. During the playing process, because your hand speed couldnât keep up, you swallowed a few notes, causing the rhythm to be very incoherent.â
Tao Yue felt that Tan Rouâs comment was ridiculous. Tan Rou was really pretending that she didnât understand. She had always played like this and didnât make any mistakes.
âRourou, have you ever learned the piano? Even if you havenât learned the piano, you should have heard the famous piano piece âFly!â.
âIâve never learned the piano, and 1 donât know anything about âFlyâ, but you did play the wrong one.â Tan Rou emphasized.
âRourou, is it difficult to admit that others are outstanding? Grandpa and Grandma always taught me and my brother not to be afraid of othersâ success. We should learn from othersâ success so that we can achieve our own success,â Tao Yue said provocatively. Her eldest cousin had never learned the piano before, so she should work hard and not say sour words here.
Tan Rou walked to the piano and pressed a few keys. After familiarizing herself with the piano, she started playing.
Tao Yue was very familiar with this song because it was the song she was going to play in the competition, âFly!â, Tan Rou played the part that she had just played. After listening carefully, Tan Rou indeed played it more coherently and beautifully!
Tan Rou was very engrossed in the piece. She did not look like she had never learned the piano before. Not to mention her expression, just the way she played the piano proved that she played the piano very well.
Tao Zhi was stunned.. Didnât Rourou say that she had never learned the piano before? Why was she playing it so skillfully now?
