Tao Zheng rolled his eyes at her. “Look at you. Those who don’t know better would think that you bought this piano.”
Tao Yue was a little embarrassed. “This is my tenth birthday present from Mom.”
“You play very well.” Tan Rou didn’t want to waste her time with Tao Yue. “But we don’t have time to listen to you play the piano. We’ll leave first.”
Tao Yue hurried out of the greenhouse to stop them. “I’m going to participate in the competition soon. I’ve been practicing hard these days, but I’ve been practicing the piano for a whole day. I’m still a little worried. Why don’t you help me listen to it and see if I’m lacking in anything?”
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 didn’t want to waste any more time here. “You can practice slowly by yourself. Everyone says that playing the piano is like meditation, so we won’t disturb you.”
“Why don’t we enjoy the piano music played by Tao Yue?” Tan Rou gave Tao Zhi a look. She wanted to see what Tao Yue was up to.
Tao Zhi got Tan Ron’s hint, so he said, “I’ve thought about it. I can’t eat even if I go back now. Why don’t I stay and listen to some music?”
Tao Zheng and Tao Qi didn’t 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 didn’t finish the song. She only chose the part that best reflected the player’s skill. After she finished, she asked, “What do you think of my performance, Eldest Cousin?”
Without waiting for Tan Rou to answer, Tao Yue seemed to have suddenly remembered something. “Oh, 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.”
Tao Zhi looked at Tao Yue coldly. He had to admit that Tao Yue played very well. Even before his hand was injured, he couldn’t reach Tao Yue’s speed. Tao Yue wasn’t a likable person, but she was very good at playing the piano.
“I really don’t know anything about it.” Tan Rou sat on the chair and leaned back leisurely. “But I heard that there was something wrong with your performance. Did you change it on purpose or did you play it wrong?”
Tao Yue was very surprised. “How could I have played it wrongly?”
Tan Rou said, “In the third period, you played the wrong tune at the beginning. During the playing process, because your hand speed couldn’t keep up, you swallowed a few notes, causing the rhythm to be very incoherent.”
Tao Yue felt that Tan Rou’s comment was ridiculous. Tan Rou was really pretending that she didn’t understand. She had always played like this and didn’t make any mistakes.
‘Rourou, have you ever learned the piano? Even if you haven’t learned the piano, you should have heard the famous piano piece ‘Fly!’.
“I’ve never learned the piano, and 1 don’t know anything about ‘Fly’, but you did play the wrong one.” Tan Rou emphasized.
“Rourou, is it difficult to admit that others are outstanding? Grandpa and Grandma always taught me and my brother not to be afraid of others’ success. We should learn from others’ success so that we can achieve our own success,” 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, ‘Fly!’, 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.. Didn’t Rourou say that she had never learned the piano before? Why was she playing it so skillfully now?
