Chapter 25: Beg Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Lin’s father saw Lin Xiang’s expression, combined with the still-empty stage, he knew that the urgent matter had not been resolved.

Dean Mou liked loved piano performances, which was the main reason Dean Mou had decided to show up and negotiate with them. Lin’s father had just told Dean Mou that he had hired an expert pianist for him, but now the pianist was nowhere to be seen. How humiliating!

Lin Xiang walked to Li Leyi with a gloomy face and reluctantly asked, “Li Leyi, do you know any expert pianists? Will you be able to invite them to perform here?”

Li Leyi was not able to help. After getting kicked out of his family, he had lost most of his connections.

Cui Si, on the other hand, was smiling. Wasn’t this playing right into her hands? “Well, it’s not that we don’t know anyone, but why should we help you? Give me a good reason.”

Lin Xiang became even gloomier. How dare Cui Si argue with him. However, when he saw his father’s expression, he couldn’t care less anymore. This was the first time his father had asked him to do something, so he couldn’t mess it up.

There were many wolves in his family eyeing his position.

“Speak, what do you want in return? As long as I am able to, I’ll agree to anything. Now, hurry up and get me a pianist.”

Cui Si sneered, “Lin Xiang, is this how you ask someone for a favor? I can’t feel your sincerity!”

Lin Xiang glared at Cui Si. He wanted nothing more than to hit her right now.

However, since his father was present, he did not dare to lose his temper so obviously. He could only continue to be polite to Cui Si.

Cui Si looked at Li Leyi and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

“Well, it’s just that Leyi called you Brother earlier. Let’s reverse roles, shall we?”

Lin Xiang gritted his teeth and reluctantly said to Li Leyi, “Hello, Brother.”

Cui Si nodded in satisfaction. It was right for him to be so obedient. His arrogance earlier had been quite unsightly.

“Today must be your lucky day because I’m an expert at the piano. If you beg me properly, I might just consider performing for you.”

Li Leyi looked at Cui Si in shock. She was an expert pianist? How was this possible?

Lin Xiang did not believe it either, but since things had come to this, he had no choice but to trust her.

“Dear Cui Si, I beg of you, please help me out just this once.”

Cui Si nodded in satisfaction. She stood up and walked directly to the piano on the stage. However, the moment she got there, she started to feel doubtful and guilty.

After all, this was a skill given by the system. She did not actually know if it would work or not.

[Ding dong! Is the host doubting the system’s ability?]

[Ding dong! The host is rewarded with three hours of expert piano skills.]

When Cui Si heard this, she almost laughed out loud in excitement. Now, she was not afraid of anything anymore.

A selection of music scores appeared in her mind and she randomly picked one to play.

The moment the music started, everyone fell silent and listened to the beautiful sound of the piano.

Li Leyi stared blankly at Cui Si on the stage. He did not expect her to actually know how to play the piano, and to play it so well too!

Lin’s father nodded in satisfaction. Finally, there was a piano performance. He just did not know if it would satisfy Principal Mou.

As the music built up, a look of surprise appeared in Dean Mou’s eyes.

It was a miracle that such a young girl could have such good musicality.

When the performance ended, Cui Si received a standing ovation.

Dean Mou also stood up excitedly, which greatly pleased Lin’s father. His son had finally done the right thing.

Cui Si returned to Li Leyi’s side with confidence and pride.

“Leyi, how was it? I played pretty well, right?”

Li Leyi’s eyes were filled with surprise as he nodded. He did not expect this girl to be so amazing. How many secrets did she have?

Dean Mou walked over at this moment. Li Leyi hurriedly stood up.

“Young Man, is this your girlfriend?”

Li Leyi shook his head, which made Dean Mou a little disappointed. But the latter still asked, “Hello, Miss. My daughter likes playing the piano very much and I have been in search of a piano teacher for her. I was wondering if you…”

Before he could finish, Cui Si interrupted Dean Mou.

“Dean Mou, I can teach your daughter, but can you help my friend and save his sister? Right now, only you can save him.”

When Dean Mou heard this, he nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry, I’ve already promised this young man before and I’m a man of my word.”

After the crowd dispersed, the couple stood in the empty parking lot. Li Leyi grabbed Cui si’s hand with sincerity in his eyes. “Cui Si, thank you for today.”

Cui Si laughed. Li Leyi had helped her so much in the past, and this time, she had finally repaid him with interest.

“Leyi, you don’t have to be so polite with me.. It’s between the two of us!”
