Chapter 329: The Tune You Played Wasn’t Worth a Fart

“Try this rib. It’s pretty good. It’s on par with my cooking,” Lin Yi said.

“Don’t flatter yourself. Teacher Zhang’s cooking is way better than yours.”

“Then I won’t make it for you anymore.”

“No,” Ji Qingyan got worried. “You have to keep making it for me.”

“Oh my, you two make me so jealous. I have to stay away from you.” Lu Tian shifted her chair and looked at the two of them sourly.

“Are you jealous?” Lin Yi laughed. “But you won’t ever escape this feeling because there’s no other man more handsome than me in the world.”

“Hehehe. Men with a sense of humor always were Qingyan’s favorite.”

“Cough cough cough…”

Zheng Wenjie coughed lightly and said with a smile, “Senior just finished playing. You guys should at least give him some face.”

“It’s pretty good. There’s some progress,” Lu Tian casually replied, perfectly showing how to behave properly whilst still not paying attention.

“You little girl, I’m guessing you didn’t even listen to it properly.” Zhang Shumin smiled and said, “Little Yi, what do you think of the song?”

“Good, good, very good, very good. I’ve never heard such a good song before. Very good, very good.”

Lin Yi didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere. He was pretending to be cool whilst eating his own food. After all, none of this mattered to him.

“I really didn’t expect Mr. Lin to know about the accordion. That really exceeds my expectations.” Liu Yida said with a smile.

“I know a little bit about it.”

Ji Qingyan couldn’t help but snicker. Lin Yi was really good at lying. He actually claimed to know a little about the accordion.

“I didn’t expect to meet a master today. Although you think I played well, I think there are still many flaws in the ‘Lake Baikal’ piece that I played just now. Would you like to give me some guidance, Mr. Lin?”

“That wouldn’t be good. This is such a harmonious dinner, we should just let the matter rest.”

“That’s not good. We academics have always been strict with ourselves and strive for excellence. If there are any flaws, we naturally have to give each other pointers.”

Ji Qingyan bit her lips lightly, a hint of unhappiness showing on her face.

He was obviously making things difficult for Lin Yi.

“Little Yi, since you know about the accordion, do share it with us.” Zhang Shumin said. “We are all on the same side here, so we can speak freely.”

“That’s right, give me some pointers too so that I can improve.”

“Actually, there’s no need for me to teach you anything on the song,” Lin Yi said as he chewed on the ribs.

“Don’t tell me you think it’s perfect and you can’t tell me what’s wrong?”

“No, no, no, you’ve misunderstood. I mean, there are too many mistakes in your rendition ‘Lake Baikal’. We won’t be able to get through the entire list even if we work at it until tomorrow morning, so there’s no need for me to teach you.”

As soon as he said that, everyone at the table turned their attention to Lin Yi.

No one expected Lin Yi to say something like that.

“There are a lot of mistakes in my rendition of ‘Lake Baikal’?” Liu Yida’s face didn’t look too good.

When he played it earlier, he thought that it was already perfect, and he even exceeded his usual standards. There couldn’t have been any mistakes.

However, this man said that his performance was full of flaws. It was simply ridiculous!

“Mr. Lin, although Ji Qingyan is by your side and you want to stand up tall beside her, if you speak without thinking, won’t you ruin the mood?”

“Look, just now you said yourself that there were many mistakes in your performance of the song. Now that I’ve said it too, you won’t admit to it and even say that I’m ruining the mood? What kind of logic is that?”

“This…”

Liu Yida choked on his words, his expression awkward.

“Yida, the fault is yours,” Zhang Shumin said. “Let’s hear what Little Yi has to say first.”

Zhang Shumin looked at Lin Yi, a smile returning to her face. “Actually, I think Yida’s performance of ‘Baikal Lake’ is pretty good, as I didn’t notice any mistakes.”

“Then I’ll say a few obvious ones.” Lin Yi said.

“In the second eight count of the song, the intensity was obviously not strong enough, causing the pitch to be low.”

“However, in the middle of the third quarter of the beat, the intensity was obviously too strong, causing the rotation to be insufficient, losing more than half the essence of the song in the process.”

“Also, there are also many problems with the remaining diatonic scale and ba.s.s handling, but I won’t go into the details.”

Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi, her eyes blinking.

What kind of freak was Lin Yi to be able to speak so clearly?

Did he really know how to play the accordion? That wasn’t possible.

Zhang Shumin and Peng Xingguo looked at each other, their faces full of surprise and confusion.

They didn’t understand what Lin Yi was talking about.

They didn’t notice these mistakes.

They only liked the accordion because it was fun. It was normal that they didn’t understand what Lin Yi was talking about.

At this moment, not only the old couple, but even Liu Yida was confused.

He had been playing for a long time and didn’t notice the mistakes.

“Haha…”

Liu Yida smiled. “I’ve played the accordion in front of many teachers and experts, but they said that I played well and didn’t point out so many problems.”

“See, aren’t we repeating ourselves now?” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Lu Tian and I just said that you played a very good piece, yet you wanted me to correct it. Now that I’ve corrected it, you’re unhappy again. What kind of person does that?”

“You’re just giving perfunctory feedback.”

“Are you sure that the other professionals weren’t just giving perfunctory feedback?”

“You!”

Liu Yida was burning with anger since he was the boss of a start-up company, Doctor Yan Da, but was currently being mocked by a gigolo!

This was outrageous!

However, he could not flare up in his teacher’s house.

“If that’s the case, play us a song too. Let me see the gap between us, and show me that I still have room for improvement.”

“I’ve never played this before, so I’m a little unfamiliar with it.”

“You spoke at length earlier, yet it turns out that you were just spouting nonsense. You’ve never even played the accordion before, yet you still dare to say such words. You’re really good with words.”

“I only said that I’m unfamiliar with it, I didn’t say that I don’t know how to play it.”

“Little Yi, you’re really not a simple person. Not only did you manage to woo that La.s.s, Qingyan, but you even know how to play the accordion. Let us hear it too.” Zhang Shumin said with a kind expression.

“Since Teacher Zhang wants to hear it, I’ll give it a try.”

Ji Qingyan was a little nervous.

“Lin Yi, are you sure you know how to play the accordion? This isn’t a joke.”

Ji Qingyan believed that Lin Yi knew how to play the accordion since he dared to try.

However, the main point was that he had to be better than Liu Yida, or else he would be laughed at to death.

She could get embara.s.sed, but she didn’t want Lin Yi to suffer the same.

“It’s just an accordion. It shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Mr. Lin is so confident, so his level shouldn’t be bad. Even so, a famous song like ‘Lake Baikal’ is no fun to just play. You should also sing a bit to really make sure you enjoy yourself.” Liu Yida added.
