Chapter 184: Chapter 183: Don’t Know, Never Learned

Lin Hao’s words were brief, calm, and indifferent, as if he were discussing something trivial.

But Xiao Yuteng laughed.

His laugh was full of confidence, charm, and contempt.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, I think you must be joking, right? Do you know my life accomplishments?" Xiao Yuteng’s laughter echoed throughout the stadium.

"I don’t know," Lin Hao replied truthfully.

Silence.

The stage fell into a brief silence.

Lan Yue Yuxue wanted to speak, but Xiao Yuteng did not give her a chance, expressing slight annoyance: "Mr. Lin, what level is your piano skill?"

"I’ve never studied it," Lin Hao replied calmly.

I don’t know.

Never studied it.

Those plain six words, however, made Xiao Yuteng extremely uncomfortable. It was nothing short of naked humiliation and belittlement of him.

The audience below the stage also stirred up a wave of discussion:

"Blowing his own trumpet much? He hasn’t even learned piano and dares to say he’s better than Xiao Yuteng?"

"I’m really fed up, I thought he was some young prodigy, but he hasn’t even learned piano and still claims to be one. I think he’s mentally challenged." In the darkness, amidst the confusion, a student named Xiao retrieved a megaphone from nowhere and bellowed.

When everyone looked in that direction, the student named Xiao had already sneaked away.

His words, however, sparked wave after wave of ridicule and sarcasm.

Of course, there was also a small minority who believed in Lan Yue Yuxue’s judgment, thinking Lin Hao was just being modest, or else he wouldn’t have caught her fancy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don’t say that." Xiao Yuteng said, feigning gentlemanly, "I think Mr. Lin would like to hear my piano again."

Proudly looking towards Lin Hao, he said, "If that’s the case, I’ll perform once more for you. After my performance, if you think you can match me, then you can play a tune."

"Mr. Xiao." Lan Yue Yuxue saw that Xiao Yuteng was determined to humiliate Lin Hao and was slightly displeased, "Mr. Lin’s expertise is not in this area. You can certainly perform another piece, but afterward, let Mr. Lin give us a martial arts performance."

Lan Yue Yuxue seemed to be speaking to Xiao Yuteng, but in fact, she was giving Lin Hao a way out.

She had a rough idea of Lin Hao’s background, which absolutely did not include piano.

To have him play the piano would likely mean he’d make news headlines tomorrow for a terrible performance.

"Sorry, I never perform martial arts." To her surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Hao said, "Trying the piano wouldn’t be bad, I’ve never touched it before."

Lan Yue Yuxue was taken aback, a hint of helplessness flashing across her pretty face.

She simply couldn’t be bothered with it anymore.

After all, the one who would be embarrassed wasn’t her.

No matter how much of a fuss they made, it wouldn’t affect her one bit.

At this moment, the tens of thousands of people below finally realized that all of this wasn’t prearranged but was a situation that had suddenly arisen.

Among the audience.

Reporters and ordinary viewers immediately began to provoke:

"Piano!"

"Piano, play us a piano piece!"

"We want to hear the piano."

The huge chanting, like waves, the crowd never tired of a spectacle, especially the reporters, who were the most enthusiastic.

As journalists, their keen professional instinct told them that there would definitely be big news tonight!

"Alright, since everyone is so enthusiastic, Yuteng shall humbly present to you all Beethoven’s Symphony of Destiny!"

"Great!"

"Woo!"

Below the stage, the cheers were unceasing, glow sticks waving, the scene was majestic and stunning. Many people really did want to hear Xiao Yuteng’s piano once more.

Even the VIPs in the VIP area perked up, ready to enjoy the baptism of music.

The piano was carried onto the stage by the staff, and Xiao Yuteng walked over with confidence, approaching the piano.

The very moment he sat down.

In an audience of tens of thousands, a hushed silence fell.

They all wanted to quietly listen to what world-famous music would sound like under Xiao Yuteng’s fingers.

The piano keys were pressed, the grandiose opening immediately sent shivers down one’s spine.

Xiao Yuteng’s reinterpretation of the Destiny Symphony made it feel as though, in the sounds alone, one could see an ordinary person ascending step by step to the pinnacle of life.

Xiao Yuteng’s piano talent was strong, and as the music continued, many were completely immersed, enjoying the symphony of fate.

Until after seven minutes, when the piece concluded, many remained entranced in the life journey of the music, unable to break free.

After a while, a tsunami of applause broke out in the venue.

"Bravo!"

"That was marvelous, simple music that seemed to show the rises and falls of a life."

"Indeed, I’ve never felt this way listening to tapes or CDs before."

"Perhaps, this is what being a true piano master means."

"How can that lad compete?"

"Comparing piano skills with Xiao Yuteng is just asking for embarrassment."

The enthusiastic applause lasted a full three minutes before gradually dying down. Xiao Yuteng stood up confidently and bowed to everyone.

Then, he looked toward Lan Yue Yuxue.

Even Lan Yue Yuxue was moved by the music, a hint of envy and affirmation flickering in her clear eyes.

"Mr. Lin, how about we call it a day this time?" Lan Yue Yuxue moved the microphone away and whispered to Lin Hao.

"It’s fine."

Lin Hao replied with a light smile, "I’ve lived countless years, but I’ve never touched a piano before. It might be interesting to give it a try."

Lan Yue Yuxue was stunned, countless years? At most, you’re eighteen years old, and yet you talk about countless years...

Could you please take your boasting seriously?

Just as she was about to say something, Xiao Yuteng had already approached, arrogantly saying, "Mr. Lin, do you now understand what a piano is?"

"I have some idea," Lin Hao said.

"Good, truly a young talent for grasping it so quickly," Xiao Yuteng’s tone was a bit odd, and anyone could hear the mockery and disdain, "Then, Mr. Lin, would you please play a piece?"

"Sure."

Lin Hao answered calmly.

As if to accommodate him, the spotlight flickered, illuminating him.

Under the lights, he walked step by step to the piano and slowly sat down.

"Playing the piano without having learned it."

"Isn’t this kid afraid of becoming a laughingstock?"

"Some people just think they are invincible at everything."

"..."

Below the stage, the buzz of discussion was deafening, with many even covering their ears for fear of hearing some noise, their faces filled with disdain.

After Lin Hao had sat down.

He didn’t rush to play.

Instead, he glanced at the piano keys and ran his hand over each and every one.

As he touched them, the structure of the entire piano became clear in his mind.

"I wonder what Mr. Lin would like to play?" Xiao Yuteng mocked, "Or should I say, can play?"

"The same piece as you, only a piece like that can truly determine the superior," Lin Hao said lightly.

Xiao Yuteng was taken aback, then exclaimed loudly, "What an audacious young man, you want to play the Destiny Symphony the first time you touch a piano? Heh, let me tell you in front of fifty thousand people, the Destiny Symphony is not something just anyone can play."

"If you really can play it, and play it better than me, then today, right here, I will bow down and offer you a master-disciple tea ceremony!"
