Chapter 106: Chapter 106: This is a Master

“`

A few of the moody young men’s fangirls were extremely excited, constantly urging Chu Chen.

Xia Mengqi also glanced at Chu Chen, very curious about how well Chu Chen could play.

Was he low-key, or just like the moody young man, all talk and no action?

After waiting a minute and seeing that Chu Chen didn’t speak, the moody young man shook his head and turned to walk toward the second piano.

“Forget it, let me give you all a rendition of ‘Air on the G String’.”

But before he could reach the second piano, there was suddenly the sound of a chair being moved.

The moody young man whipped around, stunned in the next second.

Not only him, but the few fangirls and Xia Mengqi all turned to look at Chu Chen.

Chu Chen had moved the chair in front of the first piano, preparing to play.

Why was this kid going to play the first piano?

Was he crazy?

Didn’t he know the first piano was placed here to be admired, not played?

This was a black polished Steinway A-188, priced at 889,800!

It was the Rolls-Royce of pianos.

This piano was displayed here for people to gaze at in awe.

Due to its terrifying price, no one dared to touch the Steinway A-188.

To be honest, the moody young man had coveted this Steinway A-188 for a long time but hadn’t dared to touch it.

He couldn’t believe that today, a guy who hadn’t been playing piano for long was going to play the Steinway A-188.

If you’re asking for trouble, you can’t blame him for it.

With that thought, the moody young man took out his phone and discreetly sent a message to the manager of the art gallery.

Someone is causing trouble and trying to damage the Steinway A-188, come stop him quickly.

After sending the message, a sinister smile appeared on the moody young man’s face.

Kid, you’re doomed.

“Play, why aren’t you playing?”

“If you don’t play, how can I give you pointers?”

With his arms crossed in front of him, the moody young man spoke.

“Can you even play the piano?”

“Are you just bluffing?”

“If not, then let my idol play.”

The few fangirls spoke disdainfully.

But Xia Mengqi, looking at Chu Chen seriously, grew serious herself.

At this moment, she seemed to see a shadow of a piano master in Chu Chen.

Was she imagining things?

Logically, piano masters usually dedicate two to three decades of their lives to reach masterful levels.

But Chu Chen was too young, how could he be at a master’s level?

Xia Mengqi was deeply conflicted within.

Chu Chen closed his eyes, touched the piano keys with his hands.

This was his first time playing the piano, yet it felt like reuniting with a long-lost friend.

Ding.

The first key Chu Chen played was quite ordinary, not particularly impressive.

“Could I really be hallucinating?”

Xia Mengqi couldn’t help mumbling, becoming doubtful.

“Tch, just as mediocre as expected.”

The moody young man shook his head, full of contempt.

This guy was simply not up to it.

“Forget it, you better step down.”

“Can’t compare to my idol at all.”

All the fangirls spoke up disdainfully, their faces full of scorn.

Ding ding ding…

Gradually, Chu Chen got into the groove.

Earlier, Chu Chen had been a bit rusty, but now he truly blended with the Piano Master.

Soothing music began to echo in the hall.

Everyone was involuntarily caught up in a fascinating atmosphere, unable to extricate themselves.

Initially, Chu Chen had just wanted to show off, but gradually, he became serious and truly played.

With the system’s reward, Chu Chen gained not only the level of a Piano Master but also the passion and dedication to music and piano that a master had.

At this moment, Chu Chen wasn’t merely showing off but genuinely performing.

Everyone looked at Chu Chen in disbelief.

Was this the true master?

Extreme modesty, the legendary “hidden in plain sight”–something like that.

Everyone thought in their hearts.

“He…”

Xia Mengqi stared straight at Chu Chen, stunned.

He was truly a piano master!

And he wasn’t the least bit weaker than the few master-level figures she had been fortunate to see in their forties and fifties.

He was so young, probably even a year or two younger than her, yet had such achievements?

Unbelievable!

Not only was he good-looking, but he also had depth, completely outshining all the boy idols in the entertainment industry.

Completely entranced by Chu Chen’s music, Xia Mengqi unwittingly became a loyal fan of Chu Chen.

“Wow!”

“This…”

“Is this what a master is?”

“The same piece in different people’s hands, it’s literally the difference between heaven and earth.”

“In the past, I was shallow and mistook my idol, now this delivery guy is my idol!”

“Me too, I’m in awe of him, and I find him incredibly handsome, infinitely handsomer than the previous idol.”

Previously, the several young girls who worshipped the moody young man now abandoned him in favor of making Chu Chen their idol, worshipping him fervently.

This was a true master!

This was a true idol.

Unintentionally, Chu Chen gained a new batch of fangirls.

“How is this possible?”

“How could his piano skills be this high?”

The moody young man was utterly shocked, incredulous.

Was this the level a twenty-year-old should have?

No, it was absolutely impossible!

This was the level only master-level figures could achieve.

How could a young kid in his twenties possibly be a master?

The moody young man began questioning reality.

Hearing the remarks from the young girls, the moody young man was further angered, his whole body trembling.

The difference between heaven and earth?

Wouldn’t the one on the ground be him?

Handsome by a margin unknown over the last idol?

This was not what they were saying earlier.

He was clearly handsomer than me… well… a bit handsomer…

Watching his former fangirls now look at Chu Chen with boundless admiration and affection, the moody young man felt extreme jealousy, as if he had swallowed ten lemons.

When he noticed Xia Mengqi was gazing at Chu Chen with admiration, he became even more distraught.

No, the development wasn’t right.

He should be the one admired by the beauties, and the one despised and detested should be this delivery guy!

Suddenly thinking of something, one of the girls quickly took out her phone to record Chu Chen.

With her idol performing right in front of her, she had to document this unforgettable moment.

But because of her position, she only captured Chu Chen’s back.

Moreover, Chu Chen’s performance was nearing its end; she only recorded twenty-odd seconds.

As the performance ended, Chu Chen slowly stood up.

“What a pity.”

“I only recorded this much.”

The girl regretfully lowered her phone.

Hearing her words, the other fangirls came to their senses.

It was over.

They had been so captivated by their idol’s music they forgot to record it.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a suit entered with several security guards.

“Manager Fang.”

Seeing the middle-aged man, the moody young man immediately perked up.

His message had worked.

This kid was doomed!
