Jiang Yu said, “Let’s call it a day. Just treat it as a small interlude and let bygones be bygones.”
Lu Qi also said, “Okay. Didn’t we agree before that we were going to bring Jiang Yu out for a breather? Why did we change the topic?”
“Yes, yes, yes! Let’s go eat!” Dai Zhu shouted excitedly.
The new restaurant was a Sichuan restaurant. The spicy and spicy food was very satisfying to Jiang Yu’s taste buds.
A week passed quickly, and the tryout held by Ivy University had already begun.
The judges of this tryout had even specially invited Professor Carl from the University of Cecilia to take charge.
Kang Xue was full of confidence. She believed that she could convince Professor Carl with just one song.
An hour before the selection competition began, the order of the contestants was decided by drawing lots. Kang Xue was the thirteenth, and Jiang Yu was the last.
“Your luck is really bad.” Kang Xue held the note in her hand that said “Thirteen.” She said to Jiang Yu in a strange tone, “You’re actually the last one. Do you know that the duration of this selection competition depends on Professor Karl? “If Professor Karl has already chosen five people before you, then you won’t have the chance to perform.”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Then let’s give it a try.”
Kang Xue said, “Jiang Yu, there are 231 people who have signed up for this selection competition. Even if you are excluded, there are still 230 people. What makes you think that Professor Karl can’t choose five people among the people before you?”
Jiang Yu found Kang Xue a little funny and said, “Since you have the time to worry about me, why don’t you worry more about yourself? What if Professor Carl Picks five people out of the top 12?”
Kang Xue was exasperated. “You!”
Jiang Yu said, “I’m going to prepare for the competition. You should also prepare well.”
After Jiang Yu left, Kang Xue was also a little worried that Jiang Yu’s words would come true, so she quickly practiced the piano, hoping to impress Professor Carl at the very beginning.
However, Jiang Yu’s words were like a thorn, piercing deeply into Kang Xue’s heart. It hurt so much that she could not concentrate.
What if Professor Karl had really chosen five people before her? Then wouldn’t all the efforts she had put in for so long be in vain?
The more Kang Xue thought about it, the more anxious she became. Her fingers also played faster and faster. This “Moonlight March” also lost its elegant feeling because of her playing. Instead, it was very intense, like several horses running on the prairie.
After playing the song, Kang Xue also knew that she was not in a good state at the moment, so she began to try her best to adjust her emotions. She hoped that when she went on stage later, she could show her best side in front of Professor Karl.
When the third contestant was on the list, Professor Karl nodded his head in satisfaction and said in less fluent mandarin, “This student is not bad. She can go to the competition.”
Therefore, Professor Bai placed a tick at the bottom of this contestant’s name on the list.
Kang Xue became more and more nervous. When it was her turn to go on stage, she took a few deep breaths to gradually calm herself down.
When the “Moonlight March” ended, Professor Karl nodded his head and said, “This contestant is also not bad. She can go to the competition.”
Therefore, Professor Bai put a tick after Kang Xue’s name.
Those who did not participate in the competition were watching the show. According to Professor Karl’s selection speed, it was very likely that he had already chosen five people before Jiang Yu.
Now, he had already chosen two people, and there were still three positions left. There were still more than 200 people before Jiang Yu. Could it be that among all these people, there were not even three people who satisfied Professor Karl?
It was absolutely impossible.
The music department was full of talented people. There were more than one or two people who were better than Jiang Yu. How could Jiang Yu be qualified for the remaining three positions?
