Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

Page 112

Zeng Xiaoxian chimed in, "Yes, Wanyu, play a relaxing song."

Lin Wanyu turned to look at Su Mingyang, and seeing him nod, she smiled and said, "Alright then, I'll just play a random piece. Please forgive me if I don't play well."

After saying that, she got up from the sofa and walked to the piano to sit down.

She hasn't played the piano in a long time, and she can't play most pieces without looking at the sheet music.

But there was one song she practiced for a long time, and she knew it by heart.

Thinking of that piece of music, a smile appeared on Lin Wanyu's lips.

Long, slender fingers rested on the piano keys, gently tapping them.

A bright and cheerful melody, tinged with a touch of melancholy, flowed from her fingertips.

Like the winter sun, warm and comforting.

Everyone was instantly immersed in the beautiful music, and a faint sweetness welled up in their hearts.

Hu Yifei asked curiously, "What song is this? It sounds so familiar."

"A wedding in my dreams".

Su Mingyang smiled.

Hu Yifei nodded: "Oh, Wanyu played quite well."

Su Mingyang remained silent, recalling the piano knowledge in his mind.

This piece has been played too much, and some beginner piano students at the fourth or fifth grade use it to show off.

It was even used as the school bell when he was in elementary school.

This significantly lowered its perceived quality.

That's at least how some people see it.

Su Mingyang didn't think so; the piece itself was good, it mainly depended on the player.

For example, it looks great when it's played by Lin Wanyu; it might be because of the couple filter, or because she's good-looking.

In fact, he heard many flaws in it. For example, the right hand octave was a bit unstable, a few chords were played incorrectly, and the pedal sounded a bit muddy, which affected the smoothness of the whole piece.

But it's probably because Lin Wanyu hasn't touched a piano in a long time.

Chapter 131 will dazzle your ears!

As Lin Wanyu played "Wedding in My Dreams," she imagined herself wearing a pure white wedding dress, walking hand in hand with her beloved down the red carpet of the church, and becoming husband and wife in the presence of the pastor and relatives.

It was different from anything I had ever imagined before.

This time, the other half of the face was finally no longer blurry.

In the picture, her veil is lifted by the groom, and she slowly raises her head to see Su Mingyang's handsome face with a gentle smile.

At that moment, she even thought of a name for her child: Su Mali.

No one knew what Lin Wanyu was thinking. Holding her coffee, she quietly listened to the beautiful melody, feeling incredibly content.

Even Lu Zhanbo, that blockhead, was captivated by the music, closing his eyes and looking completely absorbed.

Chen Meijia glanced at Lü Ziqiao and said, "Listen to this, Wanyu is only now listening to piano playing! Yours is just a finger cramp!"

Listening to Chen Meijia's constant self-deprecation, Lü Ziqiao felt very uncomfortable and said irritably, "Can you shut up for once? Wanyu is a music student, how can I compare to her?"

Chen Meijia rolled her eyes: "Tch! Who told you to brag like that!"

Lu Ziqiao twitched the corner of his mouth. He had just said it casually, just showing off, but who would have thought that Chen Meijia would deliberately provoke him with her words? He should have just played some fake music from his phone.

Thinking of this, Lü Ziqiao slapped his thigh, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes—he had just discovered another trick for picking up girls and showing off! Su Mingyang and the others were already used to their banter and didn't say anything, but Luo Xiaorong watched them with great interest.

At this moment, Lin Wanyu finished her song and turned to face the crowd.

Su Mingyang clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Wanyu, you played very well!"

Hu Yifei, Zeng Xiaoxian, and the others chimed in, "That sounds great!"

"Hehe, thank you everyone."

Lin Wanyu brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and laughed, "It's been so long since I played it, I feel like I've played it wrong in so many places."

"It's alright, you played it very well."

Hu Yifei praised her and then asked curiously, "By the way, Wanyu, what grade are you in piano now?"

Hearing this, Su Mingyang took a sip of coffee and said to Hu Yifei, "Yifei, you don't understand. A piano grade doesn't represent a person's skill level. Real pianists don't use grades to show off their skill. Even if you reach grade ten, you're still just an amateur. Only those mediocre players who only practice exam pieces without practicing technique would brag about how many... how many... grades they've passed, just to show off in front of laymen."

"Yeah"

Hu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Mingyang in surprise: "How do you know so much?"

Everyone turned to look at Su Mingyang.

Lin Wanyu was slightly surprised; Su Mingyang's words were quite insightful.

Lu Ziqiao's gaze darted around, a little guilty. During that time, when he went out to pick up girls, he liked to brag about how high his piano level was... and he even got a piano level 10 certificate for it.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Su Mingyang smiled and said, "Because I can play the piano too."

"No way"

Upon hearing this, all eight people were shocked! Su Mingyang had just said that he bought the piano to play with, so they assumed that the piano was either a decoration in the store or a gift for Lin Wanyu to pass the time.

But now he's actually saying he can play! Knowing Su Mingyang as they do, if he says he can, then he can do more than just play! Based on the skills Su Mingyang has demonstrated—English, cooking, kung fu, coffee making—if not top-notch, he's at least proficient! And then there's comics! Although they don't appreciate Su Mingyang's One-Punch Man, it doesn't stop him from making money! That's enough to show he's very skilled in that area! He just said he can play the piano; if nothing goes wrong, his skill level is definitely not low! At this moment, everyone had only one thought—is this guy even human? How can he learn so many skills? What else can he do? The most surprised of all was Lin Wanyu.

As Su Mingyang's girlfriend, she suddenly realized that she knew too little about him.

In contrast, the surprises she received were countless.

Now, in her heart, Su Mingyang is like a treasure trove, waiting for her to slowly unearth it.

However, she was quite looking forward to Su Mingyang playing the piano. She skipped over to him and said with a smile, "Mingyang, play us a piece!"

Hu Yifei, Zeng Xiaoxian, and the others nodded: "Yes, we all want to hear it."

Seeing everyone's anticipation, Su Mingyang was also eager to try. He looked down at Lin Wanyu and asked, "Wanyu, what do you want to hear?"

"casual."

Lin Wanyu didn't know which songs Su Mingyang was proficient in. What if she chose one he wasn't good at? Wouldn't that be embarrassing? So she simply said it like that.

Guan Gu Shenqi, upon hearing this, didn't understand the underlying meaning and couldn't help but complain, "Why do all Chinese girls like to say 'whatever'? Xiaoxue is the same way. They're so difficult to deal with!"

Su Mingyang smiled slightly and asked, "Guan Gu, what happened?"

Hu Yifei and the others were also very curious about this.

Guan Gu Shenqi explained, "It's like this: last time I took Xiaoxue to a restaurant, I asked her what she wanted to eat, and she said anything was fine. I suggested hot pot, but she said it would cause pimples. Then I suggested Sichuan cuisine, but she said she had already eaten it yesterday. I asked her what she really wanted to eat, and she said anything was fine again. It just kept going on and on, and I didn't know what to do."

The womanizing expert Lu Ziqiao raised an eyebrow at Guan Gu Shenqi and said, "Guan Gu, this means the girl has trouble making choices, and you're unsure of her preferences. In this situation, you should just go with your own preferences and tell her directly that you like to eat this, and you'll probably like it too."

"If you say that, most girls won't embarrass you, unless they have extremely low emotional intelligence."

Guan Gu Shenqi suddenly realized and exclaimed with delight, "So, Ziqiao, you know so much!"

"Hehe, I'm an expert when it comes to picking up girls."

Lu Ziqiao said proudly.

Chen Meijia pouted: "But when it comes to piano, you're definitely not as good as Mingyang."

"Meijia, don't jump to conclusions so quickly, Mingyang hasn't even played yet."

Lu Ziqiao shrugged and said to Su Mingyang, "Mingyang, show me your piano skills. I want to see how good you are."

Luo Xiaorong chimed in, "Yes, boss!"

"Don't worry, it'll absolutely blind you."

Su Mingyang raised an eyebrow, put down his coffee, and slowly walked towards the piano, preparing to demonstrate his true skill.

His words made everyone's lips twitch.

Chapter 132 That hand speed, I'm impressed!

Su Mingyang sat down at the piano and pondered for a moment...

With his mastery of the piano, he can play any piece of music.

Even Rachmaninoff's Third Concerto, widely recognized as the most difficult piece in the world, can be played from memory without looking at the score.

However, he clearly doesn't intend to play this; classical music is not something the average person can appreciate.

Let's stick to pieces that are easy to understand and allow for skillful play.

Searching his memory for the musical score, Su Mingyang's lips curled into a slight smile; he had an idea.

"It's...you—Croatian Rhapsody!" With a flick of his finger, Su Mingyang immediately began to play.

At first, the first few notes sounded a bit awkward, but soon he applied the techniques and emotions he had in mind to play the piece.

Immediately, a rousing and uplifting melody entered the ears of everyone in the Love Apartment.

This piece is one of Maksim's masterpieces. The music uses a bright rhythm to depict the tragic scene of ruins and devastation in Croatia after the war, with the setting sun reflecting in blood, tears and dust.

Under Su Mingyang's finger movements, Lin Wanyu, Chen Meijia, and the others were immediately drawn into the emotion, a sense of tragic desolation lingering in their hearts, making their scalps tingle slightly! Zeng Xiaoxian squinted his eyes, his mouth stretching to his ears, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

If she didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, Chen Meijia would have screamed. As Lu Ziqiao said, she really didn't have much of a musical talent, so her attention was completely focused on Su Mingyang's face. She excitedly waved her fist, thinking, "If the highest level for piano is level ten, then I think Mingyang must be at level one hundred. He's so cool!"
