Chapter 53 (1/2)

“You…” Yan Zhenhua ground his teeth. “Just remember one thing, Xiang Yi’s performance is top-notch in the world! Don’t forget to praise her!”

Yan Nai scratched his head. “How? Do I just… force it?”

Shi Sui: “I suggest turning off your mic.”

In a moment:

—[If didi continues like this, he won’t find a girlfriend 23333]

—[Ahahahah lmao, I had no idea Shi Yingdi was this funny]

—[Director Yan’s face looks like this emoji: CantBearToLook.jpg]

As they spoke, Xiang Yi came out with an instrument.

At first glance, the musical instrument looked like an erhu that has wooden head, neck, and body parts. The redwood of the instrument seemed to be antique, and it gave the whole instrument a unique charm.

Xiang Yi’s haters in the stream immediately began to discuss.

—[I thought it was going to be so badass. But this? This tacky, ugly thing??]

—[Is she poisonous? Isn’t this the shamisen* from Japan? No wonder she is the Vase Fairy: she can’t do anything she tries at, but she’s number one at selling out to other countries]

—[This seems very difficult to play. Is she not aware of her own capabilities? She coulda just performed a harmonica or played the piano with her thumb. Why create such a scene just to lose your own face?]

The next second.

Yan Zhenhua asked in surprise, “This is… a sanxian?”

In his spare time, Yan Zhenhua liked to visit teahouses and listen to local opera. This instrument looked familiar to him, but he wasn’t a hundred-percent sure.

Xiang Yi mumbled a quick “mhmm”. “Are there any particular songs you’d like to hear?”

Yan Zhenhua knew of a few tunes, but he really couldn’t name one on the spot. Smiling, he said, “Anything is okay, just do your best.”

“Please bear with me.”

As her voice fell, the girl’s slender fingers began to press on the strings.
