Xie Daoyun frowned “It ”
She quietly trailed off, unable to continue her justification There’s no way an expert would mess up this badly, is there?

However, no one else doubted her skills All of them instead rushed to reassure her:
“If not even awas probably just rando Lady Qiu doith you if you don’t kno to play it yourself!”
However, quite a few in the crowd had discerning ears To the flowed freely in a natural, unforced manner, and did not sound at all like it had been recklessly put together Surely, then, such an accusation could not be levelled at the part he had written out for the xiao

Chu Hongcai shook his head dumbly A hint of bitterness spread across his face as he watched how close and inti see He reached over to console his cousin “You don’t have to feel so discouraged They are only playing a duet together It doesn’tsoether, it’s better if Ah Zu were the one, instead of sos within the facai had no words for his cousin

Zu An had also stopped to console Qiu Honglei “This song is soes quite abruptly in certain places, and the ju It’s hard to play them correctly if you aren’t falei sh she nor beauty, she was still a young lady deep down She had never encountered such an ehtly dazed
Zu An carefully explained some easy ways to tackle the issues, as well as so that deserved special attention
Qiu Honglei gradually calmed down She closed her eyes to center herself, and then read through the entire song from start to finish With that, she finally understood why she kept lei’s expression was full of anticipation Not only was she ready to redee perfor to her, and she was eager to see what it would sound like when it was played properly
“All right!” Zu An shtly pluck the zither
Qiu Honglei pursed her bright red lips and blew gently, her ten fingers
With the zither occupying the ister, and the beautiful and serene sound of the xiao floating across it, the s of all those present Theback and forth as if the tere having an inti in an endless sea of envy Each of them wished fervently that they were the ones to have such an incredible opportunity with Lady Qiu
