"Director Li, is that student a student from your dance department?"

Dean Yu Kang looked at Luo, a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties, who was the director of the dance department of the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music.

Director Li glanced at Lin Yi, then shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, right?" Otherwise, I must have an impression in my heart of such an excellent child! However, it's a pity that children with such a good foundation don't come to our dance department! ”

Hearing Director Li's words, Yu Kang frowned slightly, Not a student of the dance department, his dancing skills are so good! This is not scientific!

"That. Dean Yu, Director Li, that kid is our musicology major! ”

Just then, a professor spoke,

"Oh? Since Professor An has such an impression of this student, this student should be very good, right? This is a good seedling, and it should be cultivated well! ”

Yu Kang had a smile on his face,

Professor An's expression was stiff, and he said with a wry smile: "On the contrary, this kid's grades in his major have always been the bottom, I understand him because the girl named Chen Wan he chased before is the daughter of our Professor Aimee!" ”

"Countdown?" Yu Kang was stunned, a little surprised, including Harmon and the others were a little surprised,

Harmon didn't expect that a person with such a good dance foundation was not a dance major, but a musicology student, and he was the last major.

On the other side,

Yan Yu and Lin Yi chatted and laughed with Rong Hong and others with wine glasses, and some Curtis College students also came up with wine glasses to talk to Yan Yu and Lin Yi.

After all, just now Harmon's evaluation of Lin Yi, they also heard it, and the person who can be called by their Professor Harmon must be very good.

Only Chen Wan, I don't know why, Professor Hamon's words of complimenting Lin Yi sounded so harsh to her, as if she was sarcastic for losing such an excellent person.

She has been with Lin Yi for more than ten years, but she has never found Lin Yi so good.

When she found out that Lin Yi was excellent, she had already lost Lin Yi, and Lin Yi no longer belonged to her.

Knowles, who was on the other side, looked at Chen Wan's gaze on Lin Yi's body all the time, and then heard Professor Harmon actually praise a Great Xia man like this, his heart was full of jealousy.

They are students of the Curtis Institute, this time it was the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music that begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother, and they invited them many times to come to the Imperial Conservatory of Music, which of them is not the dragon and phoenix among the people?

But now all the limelight on the scene has been stolen by Lin Yi, and the eyes of the two most beautiful women in the audience have been falling on Lin Yi's body, and Knowles is so jealous that his eyes are red.

He stood up, then walked to the center of the dance floor step by step, then looked at everyone, raised his hand slightly, and the sound of the scene slowly quieted down, and all eyes were focused on Knowles.

"Hello students, teachers, let me introduce myself, My name is Knowles, I am from the romantic country of France, I am a student of the piano department of the Curtis Institute of Music, and I am very happy to be able to come to the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music under the leadership of the respected Professor Harmon for academic exchanges.

Although today is not a formal exchange meeting, but just a welcome ball, I think academic exchanges are everywhere.

Next, I will play a piano piece for you, I hope you will evaluate it, and at the same time, I also hope that after I finish playing, the students of your school will also be able to play a piece, so that I can see the musical attainments of your students!! ”

Knowles, dressed in a black suit, spoke eloquently, and when his words fell, many people applauded.

Only a few people frowned slightly, they knew that Knowles was challenging the Imperial Capital Conservatory, and Knowles represented the Curtis Institute of Music and challenged the entire Imperial Conservatory.

Moreover, in the case that the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music did not have time to prepare, and Knowles was able to become one of the representatives of the academic exchange group as a representative of the piano department, and went to various places with Professor Harmon for academic exchanges, then the piano attainments should be extremely excellent.

"Knowles, this is trying to catch us off guard!"

Lin Yi's side, Rong Hong frowned slightly.

On the other side, Professor Harmon heard Knowles's words, his face was full of smiles, he turned his head to look at Yu Kang and the others: his face was full of proud smiles: "This Knowles is the top three students of our piano department, and he has a lot of attainments in the piano, he began to learn to play the piano at the age of five, and won the first piano competition championship in his life at the age of six.

At the age of 17, he won the championship of the 4th International Youth Piano Competition in Ettlingen, Germany, and won the gold medal at the 2nd Tchaikovsky International Competition for Young Musicians at the age of 18.

Hearing Professor Harmon's voice, Yu Kang and the others were a little shocked in their hearts, they had already thought that Knowles should be very good, but they didn't expect that they would be so good, so young, and they would get more honors and titles than many of their professors.

The students below also heard Professor Harmon's words, and many of the female students of the Imperial Capital Academy looked at Knowles' eyes with a light in their eyes.

Knowles also heard Professor Long Harmon's words, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he sat down in front of a piano in the hall.

After trying a few notes, his waist sat up sharply, and then his hands began to beat on the keys, and the beautiful music flowed out like flowing water.

Yu Kang and other professors had already widened their eyes just by listening to the first few notes, and they were also engaged in musical art, and when they heard the beginning, they knew that Knowles was indeed worthy of the name.

In the hall, everyone quietly listened to Knowles play piano music, Knowles's hands kept beating, he didn't even need to look at the piano keys, his eyes fell on the keys like flowing water, and everyone's faces were full of appreciation.

Yu Kang quietly took a few steps back, looked at a teacher from the piano department beside him, and whispered in her ear: "Quick, let the top few students in the piano department come to the rescue!" ”

The teacher nodded quickly and walked down.

Soon, the teacher hurried over with a few students, and it just so happened that Knowles was almost at the end, but they just listened to the end of Knowles, and their faces changed slightly, and their faces were full of worry and timidity.

"Teacher, we. We're no match for Knowles! ”

"Yes, teacher, just by one ending, you can hear that this Knowles's piano attainments are not even worse than some professors', and letting him communicate with us is simply a dimensionality reduction blow!"

“.”

Several piano majors in the top few students looked embarrassed and unwilling, after all, this represents the competition between the Curtis Institute of Music and their Imperial Capital Conservatory.

Now that they are on the stage, they have lost not only their own face, but also the face of the entire Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music.

Hearing the words of a few students, the face of the teacher of the piano department instantly became gloomy, and he also knew that it would be a shame to let the students of the department go up, but if they didn't go, wouldn't the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music not even have a person to fight?

And just then, the sound of the piano stopped.

There was a deafening round of applause.

Knowles stood up, a gentlemanly bent over, and when he got up again, he looked in the direction of Luo Yukang and Harmon and others,

Yu Kang turned his head to look at the teacher of the piano department, but the teacher of the piano department had a very bitter face, and he turned his head to look at the top few students in several majors.

Everyone's eyes turned to it.

"No matter what, our academy always needs people to fight! Regardless of the outcome, you guys go up to the field first? Otherwise, our academy will be disgraced now! The piano teacher whispered,

However, a few students who were given public expectations lowered their heads, their faces turned red, no one faced the battle, of course the Imperial Capital Academy would lose face, but they went up to meet the battle, not only would they lose face, but I am afraid that their future will be lost!

It's better to disgrace the Imperial Capital Academy if no one fights than if they go to the battle and they make the Imperial Capital Academy lose face, right?

They don't go anyway!

Seeing this scene, the teacher of the piano department had a very ugly face, he turned his head and glanced at Yu Kang helplessly, Yu Kang's face sank instantly, and it was rarely ugly.

Cowardice before you fight!

Coward!! Of course, he knew that the top few students in the piano department alone were definitely not Knowles' opponents, and he never thought of letting these students win Knowles.

After all, the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music is already too much worse than Curtis, and it is understandable that the students of the Imperial Conservatory of Music are not as good as Knowles, as long as the usual level and style of the Imperial Conservatory of Music are taken, after all, the name of this event is academic exchange, which focuses on exchanges.

No one said anything as timely as Curtis English Academy.

But he didn't expect that no one in the huge piano department would dare to fight.

The faces of the students of the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music were also very ugly.

Seeing this scene, Professor Harmon frowned slightly, feeling very disappointed in his heart.

However, Knowles and the other Curtis College students were full of contempt and ridicule.

Knowles smiled arrogantly: "Why is it that the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music is known as the No. 1 conservatory in Great Xia, is it possible that there is no one who dares to fight?"

Or is it that the level of a student of my Knowles is already the highest level of the Imperial Capital Conservatory, if this is really the case, then it is understandable that no one will face it.

But in the next academic exchanges, I also think that there is no need, after all, if the level of academic exchanges is too different, there is no point in communication! ”

Knowles's words fell, and the students of Curtis College looked arrogant, raised their necks and looked at the students of the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music with contempt,

The students of the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music were red with shame, and their eyes were full of shame.

"Damn, that's so fucking arrogant, isn't it? How dare a single student mock our entire academy? ”

"It's all to blame for the waste of the piano department, none of them dared to fight, if it weren't for Lao Tzu who hadn't learned the piano, I would have gone on a long time ago!!"

"They were all scared of Knowles' piano prowess, what a bunch of cowards!"

"Damn, could it be that we have a huge conservatory, and we have to be trampled under the feet of Knowles alone?"

“.”

Most of the students, both men and women, were indignant, but none of them dared to go on stage.

A small group of girls pouted and said, "Okay!" Is it hard to admit that others are excellent? This Knowles's piano attainments are at least at the same level as some professors in our college, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he alone overwhelms us in one academy! ”

"Knowles is so handsome! I really want to marry him and have a monkey! ”

"I already expected the result before this exchange started, we Daxia people are like this, the mud can't support the wall!"

"Although I am from Daxia, I have to admit that the artistic cells of Daxia people are really not as good as foreigners!"

“.”

Lin Yi held the wine glass, looking at all this in front of him, he also frowned slightly, he never appeared because he didn't want to be in the limelight, but he was also a student of the Conservatory, and he would never allow his school to be insulted!

That's how he is,

He can scold the school, he can scold his own school for being garbage, the counselor is a fool, and he can scold a certain teacher for being a second goods.

But he can scold, others can't!!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi put the wine glass in his hand on the table and slowly got up,

Lin Yi's movements instantly attracted everyone's attention to him.

Knowles's gaze also moved to Lin Yi's body.

"Lin Yi, what are you doing? Now this occasion is not a good place to pretend! Don't make a fuss! ”

Seeing Lin Yi's movements, Rong Hong hurriedly reached out and grabbed Lin Yi's hand,

Lin Yi shook his head slowly: "Trust me!" ”

Rong Hong looked at Lin Yi's serious face, and subconsciously let go of his hand, Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then clenched his fists: "Lin Yi, come on!" ”

Lin Yi nodded, then took a step forward and walked forward, on the other side, Chen Wan's eyes kept on Lin Yi's body, when she saw Lin Yi's movements, she subconsciously shouted: "Lin Yi, don't go. You're no match for Knowles! ”

She knew Lin Yi's level, she just audited a few classes with her, and she was barely able to play some simple tunes, but who was Knowles? That's the person that even Professor Harmon highly admires, and even the top few students in the piano department don't dare to face it, Lin Yi is going now, isn't it a shame?

Hearing Chen Wan's words, Lin Yi glanced at Chen Wan, frowned slightly, and immediately ignored it and continued to walk towards the center of the dance floor.

When Chen Wan saw this scene, her face was full of anxiety and worry, she couldn't help but run over quickly, wanting to hold Lin Yi,

But Yan Yu grabbed her, and Chen Wan looked at Yan Yu anxiously: "Why don't you persuade Lin Yi, Lin wait a minute, Lin Yi will be happy if Lin Yi loses face in front of everyone?" ”

Yan Yu's mouth pursed slightly: "Have you done less to make Lin Yi lose face in front of the whole school?" ”

"Besides, I believe in Lin Yi!"

Hearing Yan Yu's words, Chen Wan's face turned pale and froze in place.

Lin Yi continued towards the second area in the center of the dance floor, and when he passed by several students and teachers majoring in the piano department, several students couldn't help but whisper: "Lin Yi, what are you doing here?" Even we are no match for Knowles, why are you here to embarrass people? It's not dancing! ”

"Yes, Lin Yi, do you think you are better than us?"

“.” Several piano majors were full of unhappiness, they chose to be cowardly in the face of Knowles, and now Lin Yi, a person ranked last in other majors, came to face them, wasn't that a slap in the face?

The teacher of the piano department also spoke: "Lin Yi, your performance just now is already very good, don't mess around, now that things have come to this point, the face of the academy will be lost, don't bring your reputation with you!" ”

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the teacher of the piano department, and had a trace of gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you for your concern, but someone in our college has to stand up, right?" Otherwise, will our college still be able to raise its head in front of the Curtis Institute of Music from now on?

Teacher, believe me, I would never do something that I am not sure of! ”

In addition to licking Chen Wan.

Under the gaze of almost everyone, Lin Yi walked in front of Professor Harmon and Yu Kang and others, and bowed slightly: "Dean Yu, Professor Harmon, and other teachers, can I communicate with Knowles instead of the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music?" ”

Harmon didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Yu Kang,

Yu Kang looked at Lin Yi deeply, looking at the calm smile on Lin Yi's face, his impression of Lin Yi was much better, no matter what, Lin Yi dared to stand up to fight, he was much stronger than those cowards in the piano department.

He took a deep breath and said, "Good! Lin Yi, don't be pressured, just take out your usual level!

Everything has me, everything has the academy!! ”

Hearing Yu Kangdeng's words, a bright smile appeared on Lin Yi's face, he understood the meaning of Yu Kangdeng's words, that is, let Lin Yi rest assured to face the battle, no matter what, he would not let Lin Yi take the blame!

Yukang and the Conservatory of Music will take everything down.

"Thank you, Dean Yu! I'm going to do my best! Lin Yi felt that if nothing else, even if it was just for a dean like Yu Kang, and the teacher in the piano department, it was worth it for him to compete this time!

Hearing the conversation between Lin Yi and Yu Kang, several piano students who had just refused to participate in the competition were stunned for a moment, and then their faces were full of regret, if they had known that Yu Kang would take the initiative to take the blame, they would have agreed to meet the battle a long time ago.

"Lin Yi, the king of licking dogs, is really lucky with shit!!"

They looked at Lin Yi's back, and at this moment they wished that Lin Yi would lose face and become a joke of the entire Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music again.

When Knowles saw Lin Yi, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked with a smile,

Lin Yi actually dared to come out to fight, this is an unexpected joy!

Just now, Chen Wan's eyes have been on Lin Yi's body, and now he will let Chen Wan know how big the gap between Lin Yi and himself is, Lin Yi is not worthy of Chen Wan's liking at all, and he Knowles is the best person!

"Lin Yi, the top few students in the piano department of your college dare not come out to fight, but you are out, then you should represent the highest level of your college, right?

Then I'll have to listen to it!! ”

Knowles smiled playfully,

Hearing Knowles' words, everyone, including Yu Kang, frowned slightly.

Rong Hong clenched his fists even more: "TM, this dog is digging a pit for Lin Yi!" ”

Yan Yu's cold gaze was on Knowles's body, full of coldness.

Others frowned and couldn't help complaining: "The top few guys in the piano department don't dare to fight, what qualifications does he, Lin Yi, a guy who is the bottom of other majors, represent us?" ”

"Yes! Isn't there enough shame on our academy? He's going to go up and put his face in front of others and let others fan him!! ”

"It's okay now. Our Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music is famous, and a countdown has actually replaced the highest level of our college! ”

"Everyone, be prepared to be disgraced! Alas!! ”

Hearing the words of these people, including Rong Hong, they immediately fought back: "What are you talking about? Lin Yi dared to stand up and fight, unlike some mouth cannons, he would only be a coward! ”

"That's right, Lin Yi is already very powerful if he has the courage to stand up and fight, okay?"

"You people who only grow other people's morale and destroy their own prestige are really disgusting!"

"Even Dean Yu has agreed to let Lin Yi fight, and you are still beepping Lai!"

“.”

A group of people from the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music quarreled into a pot of porridge below because of Lin Yi's battle.

At this time, Lin Yi ignored Knowles himself, and then sat in front of the piano.

Seeing this scene, Yu Kang amplified his voice and scolded: "Okay, everyone is quiet!" ”

Hearing Yu Kang's voice, the entire dance floor gradually quieted down.

And Lin Yi sat in front of the piano, his back was suddenly straightened, and he directly entered the state of a piano master.

Yu Kang, who originally didn't have much hope in his heart, and several professors around him couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they saw Lin Yi's state, and Professor Harmon's eyes widened slightly.

Knowles, who was on the side, could most clearly feel the change in Lin Yi's state, his face was slightly gloomy, and a bad premonition rose in his heart!

At this time, Lin Yi's hands were already on the keys, and the moment he touched the piano, he immediately felt a familiar feeling welling up in his heart, as if his fingers and the piano in front of him were attracting each other, summoning each other, and the qi machine was slowly merging.

He pressed it gently, and in no time ten fingers began to beat on the keys like ten elves.

Jingle Bell Jingle Bell————

When the piano sounded, everyone was stunned, the dean of the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music, and a number of professors, including Professor Harmon of the Curtis Institute of Music, were stunned, their faces were incredulous, stunned, and shocked.

When they heard the sound of the piano, they couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if they had been electrocuted, and their scalps were numb.

The eyes they looked at Lin Yi were full of shock, doubt, disbelief, and finally a deep admiration.

At this time, Lin Yi had already closed his eyes, and at the moment he pressed the piano keys, he had completely integrated into the piano, and his body moved slightly with the tone of the piano.

With the fall of ten fingers, the soft, melodious notes jumped like a naughty child and fell into everyone's ears.

Everyone's faces were shocked, stunned, confused, and shocked all gone, and they also closed their eyes, listened, and enjoyed the lazy sound of the day.

I don't know how long it took,

When—the last note sounds, and then it stops abruptly.

Everyone who was silent in the sound of the piano slowly opened their eyes.
