The Invincible Strongest Student
Chapter 1111: Copy-and-Paste Piano Piece
Lin Tian sat in front of the piano, turned around and playfully raised an eyebrow at Liou Qingcheng, then mimicked her posture. Head held high, chest out, hands lightly resting on the black and white keys, paired with that confident gaze, it really looked like something, albeit missing a suit.
However, Jiang Pan Die burst into laughter at this sight of his mock seriousness. What came to mind was actually a fake Daoist setting up a phony altar.
Lin Tian didn’t care about Jiang Pan Die’s expression because he had already closed his eyes, replaying every detail of the performance Liou Qingcheng had just given in his mind.
As the first note rang out, Lin Tian’s hands suddenly danced swiftly across the piano keys. If Liou Qingcheng’s technique was as beautiful as two butterflies gracefully dancing, then Lin Tian was no different, his speed was as if divinely assisted.
Liou Qingcheng stood behind Lin Tian, involuntarily widening her eyes in surprise, looking as if she couldn’t believe it.
Lin Tian’s learning ability was exceptional, even photographic, and Liou Qingcheng knew this. But this was playing the piano; even if it was a single piece, it couldn’t be exactly the same.
But what Lin Tian played was exactly the same as what Liou Qingcheng had earlier, like an audio recording being played. Even the emotions flowing from the keys were identical, with all their ups and downs.
Not only was Liou Qingcheng utterly surprised, but Zhou Wenhong had an extremely peculiar expression—hadn’t this guy said he couldn’t play the piano? He had only watched twice!
For a moment, Zhou Wenhong felt deceived because that was impossible.
But soon she thought that Lin Tian wouldn’t do so because it wasn’t necessary—it was a thankless task.
When the piece ended, Lin Tian’s fingers still rested on the keys, his emotion unchanged, after all, he was just copying Liou Qingcheng’s every rhythm to a tee.
It was like copying and pasting an article, without any feeling.
Lin Tian turned around, raised an eyebrow at Liou Qingcheng and with a smile asked, "How’s that? Your husband’s piano skills aren’t bad, eh?"
Liou Qingcheng was full of questions, but was suddenly amused by his expression. She asked gently and curiously, "How exactly did you do it? Just by watching twice?"
Even after witnessing many miracles with Lin Tian, the occurrence of another made Liou Qingcheng equally astonished and curious.
Is this guy superhuman?
"Yep, thanks to Liou’s excellent teaching, I’ll definitely repay you well when we get back." He said mischievously, as his eyes lingered over Liou Qingcheng’s alluring figure.
Qingcheng, who had long since blossomed into womanhood, knew perfectly well what this rascal was thinking, but this wasn’t at home.
"No way, shame on you!" Liou Qingcheng murmured softly.
Seeing the blush on Liou Qingcheng’s face, Lin Tian chuckled foolishly again.
The two of them flirting on the stage, though their voices were inaudible, their eyes and eyebrows exchanged in such a way that it was like feeding dog food. Jiang Pan Die was fuming.
Zhou Wenhong didn’t care about any of that though. She stood up seriously from her chair, gently patted Jiang Pan Die’s shoulder and said, "Come, let’s have a look."
Naturally, Zhou Wenhong wasn’t there to watch the flirting but to see whether that guy was a freak or not.
To further challenge Lin Tian, Zhou Wenhong called in the most professional piano teacher at the scene to play "Chopin’s Etude."
Lin Tian was an outsider, unfamiliar with the name of the piece, but could see that this piece was completely different from the previous one—the speed was incredibly fast, and the rhythm perfectly maintained, with the weight and variation of notes being extremely skillful.
Of course, in Lin Tian’s eyes, these actions were automatically slowed down by two or three times; otherwise, the speed would feel overwhelming. If at normal speed, Lin Tian worried his fingers might knot together.
Piano levels are divided into ten, and this "Chopin’s Etude" is a level ten exam piece. Naturally, it’s quite challenging.
In the eyes of an amateur, piano level ten is impressive. But in the eyes of a professional, it’s merely the start. There are only a handful of designated exam pieces, and those with fundamental skills can usually pass the exam after a year of practice.
However, to make a novice, someone not even familiar with piano, play it—that’s quite absurd!
Lin Tian also felt the complexity, so he studied earnestly, allowing the piano teacher to play it three times before confidently sitting at the piano.
Jiang Pan Die watched Lin Tian nervously because there were no sheets on the stand. The piano teacher didn’t use them because he had them memorized, but Lin Tian had merely watched others play.
Besides Lin Tian, everyone seemed to notice this issue, though no one pointed it out; they just wanted to see if the miracle could happen again.
As the first key was struck, Lin Tian began to immerse himself just like the piano teacher before, fingers flying, leaving trailing images, yet every note played sounded exactly the same as before.
The weight of the keys struck, rhythm, speed, all perfectly consistent.
Lin Tian originally needed only one viewing to memorize the whole piece, but he paid extra attention to detail by watching twice more. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
For a Golden Core expert, controlling the body’s rhythm, the hand’s weight or speed were not difficult tasks. If this "Chopin’s Etude" was more complicated, Lin Tian was confident he could handle it too.
Once he played the piece, Lin Tian turned back to find everyone except Liou Qingcheng stunned.
"Teacher, my playing should be okay, right?" Lin Tian wore a slight smile, seemingly modest, but Jiang Pan Die knew this guy was extremely proud.
"..." The piano teacher snapped out of it and, speechless for a moment, finally said, "Quite, quite good."
Hmm? How come it feels like praising oneself?
"Lin Tian, have you really never played piano before?" Zhou Wenhong asked, this was just too incredible.
Lin Tian pondered for a moment and seriously replied, "We had music class in middle school, and I used to mess around on it when the teacher wasn’t around."
"..."
This answer left everyone speechless but amused. Zhou Wenhong couldn’t help but believe it; this guy’s performance was just too astounding.
After some further discussion, Lin Tian’s solo was decided: he would play the first half while Liou Qingcheng danced.
Because Lin Tian had never released any solo pieces and was just there to fill in, what to play was entirely up to him. After discussing with Liou Qingcheng, they decided on "Mad for Love."
This song held a particular significance for both Lin Tian and Liou Qingcheng.
