Li Wanru watched Gao Jing walk away and immediately panicked. No matter what, they were all commoners. Things would not end well if the princess really got angry.
Li Wanru said anxiously, “This is bad,”
“I’ve heard from others.”
“That Gao Jing is the princess’ favorite.”
“She’s not going to let us off.”
Su Jin chuckled when she saw Li Wanru’s flustered look. Princess or not, this was a competition and there would be results. If she really dared to do anything, Su Jin would retaliate without mercy.
Su Jin patted Li Wanru’s shoulder and said calmly, “There’s no need to panic. We don’t need to be afraid of anything.”
“We practice hard. We’ll make it into the top three this time.”
Li Wanru lowered her head when she heard this. Even though she could learn the piano, her family couldn’t afford to buy a piano for her to practice often. Li Wanru replied inferiorly, “I know that both of you have great skills.”
“I also believe that you will make it into the top three.”
“But I know that I only have average skills.”
“I might not even get into the top ten, let alone top three.”
Su Jin felt a punch in her heart when she heard this. This was awkward. She had just boasted, but she had been so quickly slapped in the face. And the slap came from someone close to her. This was too depressing.
Su Jin said with a bitter smile, “I’m slapped in the face so soon by the princess?”
Hou Wan’er also frowned. If she didn’t joke around, they wouldn’t be in so much trouble. She had been slapped in the face at the speed of light. She wouldn’t be able to find her place in the piano world in future.
Hou Wan’er suddenly thought of something and said, “Su Jin, it’s still the semi-finals. We are not yet in the finals.”
Su Jin’s eyes lit up. That’s right, there was still some time before the finals. If Li Wanru practiced diligently during this period, she might still have a chance.
At the thought of this, Su Jin said with a smile, “That’s right. In that case, we still have a chance.”
Li Wanru lowered her head when she saw the hopeful looks on their faces. The piano was not something that could be mastered in days. It required years of deliberate practice and talent. Li Wanru said sadly, “I have no chance.”
“I won’t make it pass today with my skills.”
Su Jin’s brows furrowed. If that was the case, they could only be slapped in the face. Hou Wan’er was also frowning when she suddenly thought of something again and said to both of them, “We can make it even without skills.”
“We can compose our own music, right?”
Li Wanru’s eyes lit up. Although it was impossible for her skills to improve in a short time, if they had a good original composition, she might make it into the top three. If she made it, the princess would no longer matter. The results would speak for itself.
Li Wanru said with excitement, “Sister Hou is right. But, Sister Hou, do you know how to?”
Hou Wan’er shook her head when she heard this. Of course, she didn’t know how to compose music. Li Wanru fell silent when she saw this. Why did she say something like that when she didn’t know how?
Hou Wan’er pulled Su Jin over and said happily, “Although I don’t know how…”
“But Su Jin does.”
“Whether we can get into the top three this time will all depend on Su Jin.”
Su Jin snapped out of her deep thought when she heard this. She had never mentioned that she could compose music, but Hou Wan’er knew about it. Could Hou Wan’er also predict the future? Su Jin asked curiously, “How did you know that I know how?”
Hou Wan’er rolled her eyes at Su Jin. She seriously suspect that Su Jin was trying to act disingenuous at this moment. What was even more detestable was that Su Jin succeeded. Hou Wan’er said with an indifferent expression, “Didn’t you play an original composition for our kindergarten competition?”
“Since you could compose such outstanding music as a kindergartener, I’m sure you are even more awesome now that you’ve grown up.”
Su Jin suddenly remembered that the two of them became best friends because of the kindergarten competition. She did not expect Hou Wan’er to remember it. This girl could be quite vengeful.
Su Jin said in a depressed tone, “You still remember what happened from such a long time ago. You have really good memory.”
“To be honest, do you still think that I won without honor?”
“Back then, you accused me of cheating and didn’t believe that I could compose music.”
