Chapter 602: Chapter 602: This Guy Is Incurably Handsome

Xiao Zheng sat on the stool, placed his fingers on the piano keys, and then his demeanor changed instantly, marked by utter seriousness.

He was already quite handsome, and this serious expression suddenly made his charm skyrocket, causing stars to appear in the eyes of some female audience members.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao couldn’t help but think, "No wonder our daughter fell for such an uneducated guy—he’s incurably handsome."

Fan Mingzhe’s expression turned slightly unpleasant. Before, Xiao Zheng had always worn a cynical smile, appearing very lazy, which made him seem somewhat of a loser; thus, no one thought he looked handsome.

At that moment, when he got serious, it was as though dust had been wiped off a sperm, revealing a dazzlingly brilliant light, utterly captivating.

Compared to him, even the star Fan Mingzhe felt ashamed of himself.

While different thoughts filled the minds of the audience, Xiao Zheng’s fingers moved. His fingers were also very slender, adding a special beauty to his professional piano-playing movements.

The audience, seeing this, slightly changed their expressions. Could this man actually play the piano?

Then, the piano sound started.

The audience, listening to the music, were soon stunned, and then one by one, they couldn’t help but laugh.

The playing was...simply too awful, and several notes were wrong.

They all had high levels of musical appreciation and could easily tell that Xiao Zheng’s piano skills were merely at the level of a middle school student.

"Hahaha, this guy really was blowing his own trumpet, showing his true colors as soon as he got on stage," one said.

"Actually, maybe that’s not it; maybe his own skill is so poor, and his appreciation so lacking, that he truly thinks he played well, hahaha."

"I’m curious now, how is he going to leave the stage later?"

The laughter filled the hall.

Most of the attendees were fans of Tang Siqin, and since Xiao Zheng had criticized Tang Siqin’s piano playing, naturally, it infuriated the audience. Seeing Xiao Zheng’s poor piano skills, they felt very gratified.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao felt humiliated, chastising Xiao Yufei, "Look at this person you’ve brought here; he’s made us lose face completely! Now is an era of free love, and we acknowledge that. But you can’t just casually date anyone. If this gets out, how can our Xiao family face anyone?"

Xiao Yufei, dispirited, was at a loss for words.

Xiao Zheng’s performance was too awful, and she couldn’t find any excuse to defend him.

At this moment, Fan Mingzhe slightly smiled, saying, "Maybe it’s not like that, perhaps Brother Xiao hasn’t touched a piano in too long and isn’t used to it."

"Ah, Mingzhe, you have such good manners, even now, speaking well of Xiao Zheng," Mrs. Xiao sighed, then looked at Fan Mingzhe with satisfaction.

She liked him more and more.

In contrast, Xiao Zheng was from one world, while Fan Mingzhe was from another!

However, just at that moment, an unexpected change occurred!

Xiao Zheng, on stage, after casually playing a few keys, suddenly both hands left the piano. Then he stood up, slightly bowed to the audience, and smiled, "That was just an interlude; I was getting familiar with this piano’s characteristics. Now, I will begin my actual performance. Please, enjoy."

The audience was stunned.

Only now was he starting?

They sneered.

Still unyielding, unwilling to admit defeat. At this point, making excuses, anyone could see that Xiao Zheng definitely had been serious about his playing, yet he had failed.

At that moment, backstage, Tang Siqin’s expression subtly changed.

"Could it be... he is tuning the piano?"

Tang Siqin knew that some master-level pianists, before playing the piano, would spend a long time preparing, thoroughly familiarizing themselves with every aspect of that piano.

They would even deliberately press some wrong keys!

However, such techniques are generally unnecessary for ordinary people. Modern piano manufacturing technology has already reached a very high level, and errors are rare. For most people, playing the piano directly is perfectly fine without any issues.

Only those master-level pianists have such strict and demanding requirements for every detail when they play—they do not allow even the slightest mistake. In their eyes, a small error could have a huge impact on the performance! That’s why they tune the piano.

If Xiao Zheng were really tuning the piano, then wouldn’t that mean his piano-playing skills had reached the true master level?

An idea so unbelievable surged in Tang Siqin’s mind.

At that moment, Xiao Zheng had already sat down and began to play.

That instant!

Xiao Zheng’s fingers, on the piano, created a blur of motion, to the naked eye, it looked as if Xiao Zheng now had eight hands!

The speed was so fast that it produced afterimages.

And accompanying these afterimages was a fierce and stormy prelude, like thunder from the sky, smashing into everyone’s ears!

At this time, the crowd was laughing, but upon hearing this fierce piano sound, everyone was shocked. They couldn’t resist its charm and were involuntarily captivated by the sound of the music, starting to listen intently.

Xiao Zheng played rapidly.

After a whirlwind of fury, there came a succession of gentle piano sounds, like the clear blue sky after the rain, evoking feelings of beauty and hope.

But upon listening carefully, these sounds contained a very rich layering, as if everything in the world was encompassed within them.

It carried a grand sense of embracing the world!

In the deep and soft tones, it fostered boundlessness.

Everyone was intoxicated by the listening...

The playing technique was god-level!

Moreover, this piano piece could definitely compare with those historic masterpieces, yet they had never heard it before.

Everyone was very puzzled, but at that moment, they no longer had time to think about these things as they were all immersed in the music.

It was too wonderful!

Simply a top-notch enjoyment.

Compared to Xiao Zheng, Tang Siqin’s piano playing seemed like that of a child.

Even Fan Mingzhe was engrossed, and even he had to admit that Xiao Zheng’s playing was too excellent. The expansive worldliness of the music could make one’s soul tremble.

And behind the stage.

Tang Siqin was entirely trembling, out of excitement!

"This... this... this cannot be wrong! This is it, the lost masterpiece, ’World’! This masterpiece, created by an Easterner, is the only global masterpiece capable of rivaling ’Fate’ and ’Hua Zhang’, those Western musical historical classics. He... he actually knows it."

Tang Siqin stared fixedly at Xiao Zheng.
