Chapter 3: Weird Loli's Talent Show Part 3
"What did you say?" Joseph's voice was so deafening that it seemed to knock over the newly built bird's !
I was like a pitiful timid cat, hiding in the corner and shivering, not daring to face Joseph's furious expression.
Now he is like a fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus Rex. If you breathe a little harder, it will ignite his anger and turn you into ashes in an instant!
"Are you kidding me, Miss Wen? Shouldn't a noble princess like you be an intellectual with a ninth-level piano level and even held a solo violin concert? You didn't tell me before, but only told me right before the performance that you can't play the piano." Joseph grabbed me from the corner while spitting anger.
"People are so busy every day, with etiquette classes, having to squeeze in time for experiments, and paying attention to medical reports. How can they have time to practice the piano! Now, at best, they can only play the tune of 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star' with one finger!" I lowered my head more and more unconfidently as I spoke.
I swear, if there was a crack in the wall right now, I would crawl in without hesitation and never come out.
"Why didn't you say these before? How could you say such things as the nursery rhyme "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"? You use your piano as a washboard, right?" Joseph yelled at me, completely out of control. Woo woo, I have good hearing, I can hear him even without him yelling so loudly.
My eardrum hurts.
"What is a washboard?" Hearing a new name, I immediately looked at Joseph curiously and asked, is it a musical instrument?
"A skinny body like yours is called a washboard!" Joseph's anger was ignited by me again, and the raging flames burst out, bombarding me and making me dizzy.
Ugh! I think I have a nice body shape! Why do you say I am skinny? Is he worried about my weight loss? I can't help it! The food here is too bad. I have no appetite recently.
"Wen Feili, it's your turn to perform on stage next. Hurry up and go behind the screen and get ready to go on stage!" The staff came over and reminded me .
"Boom!" A thunderous sound instantly blew me away. What should I do? Do I really have to go on stage and sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"? I don't want to be made a laughing stock by all the teachers and students in the school! I can't joke about the honor of the Wen family.
"What should I do?" I really couldn't think of a solution, so I could only look at Joseph for help with a resentful face .
"Humph! What did I owe you in my last life?" Joseph sighed in frustration, his black eyes moving flexibly, "Now you just need to show me the best etiquette you have learned in your life, go on stage and act like a show, and leave the rest to me!"
"Oh!" I nodded helplessly and aggrievedly, took a deep breath, and walked towards the stage with dignity and elegance.
"Monkey, quickly unplug the audio wires of the piano on the stage and connect them to this broken piano backstage." Before going on stage, I heard Joseph calmly ordering the sound staff.
Amidst the polite welcome applause, I gracefully sat down on the stool in front of the piano, facing the pairs of bright and expectant eyes from the audience. At this moment, I was like the goddess of beauty Vienna. Only with such a noble temperament like me can this stage instantly shine!
However, no matter how vain I am, I can't hide my guilty conscience at this moment. I took a deep breath silently and opened the piano cover. Joseph said that I just pretended to play on the stage and the rest was up to him, so I believed him, and I had to believe him!
Ten slender green fingers began to dance on the distinct black and white piano keys. I was very sure that the sound produced by my fingers was absolutely disturbing noise. However, what came out from the clear sound quality speakers was the "Moonlight Sonata" that made everyone intoxicated.
The sound of the piano transformed into silvery moonlight, covering the entire magnificent auditorium with a layer of mysterious frost. White edelweiss floated down from the sky, landing softly in the hair of teachers and students , and finally, blending into everyone's thoughts.
I can see the notes flying out of the speakers, flapping their wings, like naughty little angels Cupid, shooting their arrows of love at the shy freshmen! It seems that through my music, I tell all the freshmen of Ande College that a new learning journey has begun, and here, they will always be bathed in the glory of love.
Finally, a particularly cute Cupid smiled brightly, deliberately pulled his bowstring tightly, and with a "bang", it hit my heart right in the heart.
"Oh!" I couldn't help but cover my chest and screamed, feeling as if I was really hit by an arrow!
I heard Joseph's muffled cough from the backstage, probably reminding me - pay attention and don't let yourself be exposed!
Uh! Joseph must have secretly played the CD in the background! He is so smart! He always brings me light when I have no other options. Joseph, you are my sun god!
At the end of the song, all the teachers and students in the audience stood up and applauded. The thunderous applause showed that they were obviously still not satisfied with my performance!
Hehe! I am so awesome!
Just pretending, but you can win so much applause!
"You are worthy of being the role model of a rich lady! Even if Beethoven were reborn, he couldn't play the Moonlight Sonata to such a lingering effect!" The host praised as he walked onto the stage, and his eyes, full of admiration and respect for me, were filled with complete admiration and respect!
Humph! Savage people, now you know how powerful I am! Let's see if you dare to call me "the devil who can transform" behind my back. I am the reincarnation of Vienna and Beethoven!
Thunderous applause continued in my ears. I could only clear my throat and picked up the microphone on the piano stand. I wanted to say something to these people: Don't admire me too much. These are just small cases. When I stand on the world stage to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, you will still have time to applaud and admire me!
But...have I forgotten something important again?
The microphone's wire was actually connected to the curtain behind it. I pulled it and the entire red curtain slid down in an instant.
“Winfelice…” Joseph’s annoyed roar was heard, followed by a cry of pain, “You idiot!”
I, the host, and all the teachers and students in the audience were just dumbfounded, looking at Joseph, who was lying under my puffy skirt.
The auditorium suddenly fell silent, and the entire space and time seemed to be painted gray and white.
Woohoo! It's all my fault for getting carried away and forgetting that my piano is silent. The one who really plays the beautiful piano music is Joseph behind the curtain!
What should I do now? I was exposed. Not only did I have to be laughed at for the entire school year, but even worse, the Wen family's honor chapter would be tarnished because of me.
No!
I held my head in my hands, unable to accept the fact. I felt like I had been bombarded to the sky by the accusations of generations of Wen clan members.
Just let me be a deflated balloon quietly.
I imagined that my soul had turned into a wisp of smoke, floating out of the Milky Way. Family honor and the "transformable devil" were no longer my business.
"Hey, hey hey hey! It turns out that Princess Winfrey and His Royal Highness Joseph have prepared such a shocking surprise for us!" The host reacted quickly and saved the situation in time.
Hearing this, Joseph immediately got up from the ground in a serious manner, as if nothing had happened, solemnly dusted off his body, and pulled at his formal tuxedo.
"That's right!" Joseph naturally put his arm around my waist and pulled my soul back from the Milky Way. "This program is exactly what Miss Winfeli and I have carefully prepared for you... a piano duet!"
What concept?
Piano double reed?
I blinked my innocent eyes and looked at Joseph blankly. So, what should I do next?
Joseph rolled his eyes rather disrespectfully at my naive and cute behavior, and slowly moved his big hand around my waist upwards, pressed my head, and bowed deeply to everyone.
The applause was once again deafening, and I could hear the students in the audience praising the performance:
"Your Highness is so talented that he can even come up with such a high-end performance as the piano double act!" Classmate A praised in ecstasy.
"I have a new respect for Miss Wen Feili. She was so elegant and noble on the stage just now." Classmate B was also deeply fascinated by my charm.
"If you ask me, I think Your Highness and Princess Wen are a perfect match made in heaven. Only they, who are so pleasing to the eye, can put on such an outstanding performance!" Classmate C said in a fair and stern tone.
"Hehe! I think His Highness's outfit today is much better looking. He used to dress in colorful clothes every day, which was really hard to accept." Classmate Ding said in a crazy way, looking at Joseph's starry eyes, pink bubbles popped out of them!
Oh, right! I just noticed that Joseph was dressed in a neat tuxedo today. Did he plan to go on stage in advance, or... did he expect that I would fail at the critical moment and was armed and on standby just in case?
No matter what the reason was, the Joseph in front of him was much more majestic than usual.
