nTao Yuxuan was the most shocked and quickly said, “Mr. Sloke, did you make a mistake? Today is Shi Xi’s birthday. Aren’t you here to celebrate her birthday?”

n

nShi Xi: “…”

n

nShe had already pretended that she did not exist. Why did Tao Yuxuan still want to embarrass her with her?!

n

n“I’m here to look for Teacher Ning Yu,” Sloke said seriously, “Because I know that Teacher Ning Yu is here, I put down the concert to look for Teacher Ning Yu so that I can get her guidance!”

n

nTao Yuxuan’s face was filled with disbelief. “How is that possible? Ning Yu doesn’t even know how to play the piano!”

n

n“What I asked Teacher Ning Yu to teach me is not the piano,” Sloke said with yearning. “I once heard teacher Ning Yu play the guqin, and the sound was beautiful and moving. “I traveled to China, but I never found a moving piece that could be played like Teacher Ning Yu, so I specially invited Teacher Ning Yu. But I didn’t expect that she wouldn’t come, so I had no choice but to personally invite her.”

n

nNing Yu held her forehead helplessly. “I’ll look for you tomorrow. We’re having a banquet today.”

n

nSloke said disdainfully, “It’s fine if you don’t want to attend such a boring banquet.”

n

nShi Xi took a deep breath and pretended that she wasn’t the one who was embarrassed. She smiled and said, “Today is Sister Ning Yu’s and my birthday banquet. Sister Ning Yu and I have the same birthday.”

n

nThe smile on Sloke’s face froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched awkwardly.

n

nHowever, Shi Xi wanted to continue to embarrass him. She asked, “What gift did Mr. Sloke bring?”

n

nAfter saying that, Shi Xi felt that she had learned something bad.

n

nThis was clearly the exclusive line of a vicious female supporting role!

n

nWhy was she so skilled!!?

n

nAs expected, she was still evil in her bones.

n

nShe clearly knew that Sloke did not bring any gifts, yet she still made him feel embarrassed.

n

nSloke raised his hands and touched the pockets of his shirt.

n

nThen he touched the pockets of his waist.

n

nThen he touched the pockets of his pants.

n

nThen he touched the pockets behind his pants.

n

nHe spread his hands.

n

nHe did not bring anything.

n

nSloke looked at Shi Xi.

n

nShi Xi looked at Sloke.

n

nSloke looked at his empty hands.

n

n“Let me play a piano piece for the two beautiful ladies!” Sloke looked at his hands and finally remembered the skills he relied on to survive.

n

nJust now, Shi Xi had played the piano, but it had not been accepted yet.

n

nEveryone made way for Sloke.

n

n“To actually hear Mr. Sloke play the piano, what a fortune!”

n

n“I heard that his concert tickets have been sold for more than 10,000 yuan! One ticket is hard to get!”

n

n“It’s such an honor to be able to hear Mr. Sloke’s performance up close!”

n

nThe crowd discussed animatedly as they circled around the piano.

n

nAfter Sloke touched the piano, he skillfully played his specialty, Field Minor Melody.

n

nThe lively music made people feel extremely comfortable. Listening to the pleasant music, it was as if they were really walking in the woods. The sounds of birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers filled their ears. The plants were lush and the streams flowed.

n

nAs the sound of the piano fell, everyone applauded.

n

n“As expected of a master-level pianist!”

n

n“It’s really nice, although I don’t understand it.”

n

n“I think Shi Xi played better just now.”

n

n“It must be that Mr. Sloke plays better! What are you talking about?!”

n

nAfter the performance of Sloke, he stood up politely and accepted the praise with a smile.

n

nShi Xi also applauded. Not bad, not bad. The bystanders who said they wanted to listen to Sloke play just now, your wish has been fulfilled.

n

nThank me!

n

n“What’s there to be arrogant about? I think your playing is much better than his!” Tao Yuxuan walked to Shi Xi’s side sourly and whispered.

n

n“Of course, my playing is better.” Shi Xi smiled. “I’ll play it for you in the future.”

n

nTao Yuxuan nodded. Seeing that there were people surrounding Ning Yu, she snorted and said, “What’s there to be proud of about a phoenix that can’t fly?”

n

n“What’s there to be proud of?” Shi Xi said sincerely, “Alright, today is our birthday. Don’t say too much.”

n

nShe didn’t want to be slapped in the face again.

n

nIf only this was a game so she could sell her teammates without hesitation.

n

n“It’s obviously your birthday!” Tao Yuxuan couldn’t stand Ning Yu and said, “Fortunately, Sheng Yan will still be engaged to you.”

n

nShi Xi: …Please, shut up!

n

n“There will be a surprise later. Just wait and see!” Tao Yuxuan whispered to Shi Xi.

n

n“Why don’t we cancel the surprise?” Shi Xi thought that the probability was not a surprise, but a shock.
