"Then let's go with 'Flight of the Bumblebee,'" Qiu Qianwei said, not wanting to waste time or bother asking.
In fact, the skill level of this lucky audience segment didn't matter at all; it was just for interaction. Even if the audience played off-key, it didn't matter to Qiu Qianwei.
Once decided, Wang Haoran and Qiu Qianwei sat down side by side on the long piano bench, each responsible for half of the piano keys.
However, Qiu Qianwei took the lead, playing a short passage first. After she finished, she gestured to Wang Haoran to begin officially.
Wang Haoran's hands rested on the black and white keys on his side. Qiu Qianwei subconsciously wanted to cover her ears, fearing unpleasant notes. But she quickly realized she was wrong.
Under Wang Haoran's fingertips, the keys produced beautiful and melodious notes with impeccable accuracy, almost flawless.
"It's your turn."
Qiu Qianwei was taken by surprise. She missed her own part, but Wang Haoran covered for her mistake, saving the situation without anyone noticing.
With Wang Haoran's reminder, Qiu Qianwei, who possessed a high level of musical proficiency, quickly got into the groove, playing in tandem with him.
Although they had never played together before, both of them were highly skilled pianists, making it effortless for them to perform "Flight of the Bumblebee" as a duet.
The performance of this "lucky audience member" clearly exceeded everyone's expectations, eliciting immense surprise and applause from the audience.
Xu Muyan, Qin Yunhan, Mu Zhaozhao, and Wen Jing were all stunned, applauding warmly and cheering for Wang Haoran.
[Ding, Female lead Xu Muyan's affinity for the host has increased by 5, current total affinity is 75 (Devoted).]
[Ding, Female lead Mu Zhaozhao's affinity for the host has increased by 5, current total affinity is 45 (Very Friendly).]
[Ding, Female lead Qin Yunhan's affinity for the host has increased by 2, current total affinity is 97 (Unwavering).]
[Ding, Host influences the plot, gaining 500 points as a villain!]
"It turns out our lucky audience member has a level 10 piano skill, truly a hidden talent," Qiu Qianwei interacted with the audience, jokingly praising him.
Wang Haoran smiled.
One performance of "Flight of the Bumblebee" only warmed up his hands. Since it was a duet, he couldn't fully showcase his true abilities.
"Nicely done, let's do another one!"
"Encore!"
...
The audience cheered loudly, with Qin Yunhan and Wen Jing being the most excited, their voices the loudest.
"Then let's play 'Piano Concerto No. 3' this time," Qiu Qianwei had this intention from the beginning. Hearing the enthusiastic response from the audience, she naturally followed suit.
Following Wang Haoran's level in "Flight of the Bumblebee," Qiu Qianwei wanted to try something harder.
"Piano Concerto No. 3" was the most suitable.
Qiu Qianwei took the lead again, playing a short passage. As Wang Haoran waited, he casually slipped one hand into his pocket and slightly raised the other.
This gesture clearly indicated that he intended to play with only one hand. He had already warmed up, and playing with two hands in a duet would be somewhat pointless given his supreme piano skills.
Qiu Qianwei noticed Wang Haoran's action and felt that he was being a bit arrogant.
"Piano Concerto No. 3" was too difficult. Even she didn't dare attempt it with just one hand.
"Cough." Qiu Qianwei coughed softly while playing, hinting at Wang Haoran to be more serious. However, Wang Haoran remained unchanged, not taking his other hand out of his pocket.
Soon, Qiu Qianwei finished her part, and the notes reached Wang Haoran's keys. With one hand, he seamlessly continued playing, perfectly connecting the notes.
'This guy is really something', Qiu Qianwei thought, momentarily surprised. However, it was just a small surprise because the more challenging part had yet to come.
Qiu Qianwei played her part calmly, waiting for Wang Haoran to mess up due to overconfidence.
As the music reached the most difficult section of "Piano Concerto No. 3," the flaw that had troubled Qiu Qianwei before happened to be on Wang Haoran's side of the keyboard.
When she practiced earlier, this flaw was fixed after she studied the magical fingerings of the "piano god." These fingerings were extremely difficult, something even a Level 10 pianist couldn't learn.
'I don't believe you won't mess up with just one hand!' Qiu Qianwei thought indignantly.
Wang Haoran glanced at Qiu Qianwei, then suddenly changed his fingering. Each note was perfectly connected, forming a wonderful passage.
Qiu Qianwei's eyes widened in astonishment because Wang Haoran's fingering was identical to that of the "piano god."
In that instant, the images of the piano god and Wang Haoran overlapped in Qiu Qianwei's mind.
[Ding, Female lead Qiu Qianwei's affinity for the host has increased by 10, current total affinity is 50 (Infatuated).]
[Ding, Host influences the plot, gaining 1000 villain points, Lin Chen's protagonist halo -50, host's villain halo +50!]
