Chapter:201 Playing the Marimba

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Sun Bin was writing feverishly at his desk. Anger flashed in his eyes when he turned his head and saw that Qiao Yue was asleep.

How could Qiao Yue be sleeping? Was he trying to insult him?

Two days of exams passed by quickly. It was Friday afternoon, and time for the music exam.

Qiao Yue wasn't that confident in her playing skills, but she found a way.

As an assassin, she had the habit of counting time. She broke the rhythm of the music down to seconds, counted the seconds in her heart, and then played the instrument. She should be able to get the rhythm right for the piece, right?

When she arrived at the music room, Qiao Xin was already waiting there.

She had done well in the quiz, so she was the first to take the exam.

She walked up to the stage and gave Qiao Yue a disdainful glance.

She was the most musically gifted in the family and had plans to go into the music industry in future. She was confident that she could do a hundred times better than Qiao Yue in this field.

Qiao Yue was in the limelight during the physical education exam two days ago. Qiao Xin wouldn't lose today.

Qiao Yue didn't care about this kind of arts-related exam. Compared to the arts, she was more interested in science and business. To her, the arts were there to enrich one's life.

Qiao Xin smiled at the teacher from the stage before she picked up her mallets. She took a deep breath and music flowed from her nimble hands on the marimba.

She played "Flight of the Bumblebee", which Qiao Yue had played previously.

Qiao Xin had practiced hard for a long time and broke several pairs of mallets. She thought that she could easily master this song, but after learning it, she realized that her hand speed couldn't keep up with the intended rhythm at all.

She hadn't been revising her academic subjects lately. Instead, she had spent most of her time practicing the marimba. She finally made headway in the past two days and played this piece better. Although she played it a little slower than intended, it was already very good.

Qiao Yue found it interesting that Qiao Xin would actually fight to the death for this song.

Qiao Xin finished playing the song in one breath, and the audience burst into applause. Jin Lu also nodded. Qiao Xin was indeed musically gifted, and she interpreted the piece quite well.

"Next, Qiao Yue."

Everyone held their breaths as they watched Qiao Yue walk up the stage.

Qiao Yue played "Flight of the Bumblebee" really well the last time. Qiao Yue's performance in the physical education exam two days ago was also very impressive. Everyone wanted to see what special performance Qiao Yue would give in the music exam.

Qiao Yue chose a quiet pop song.

This was one of the few pop songs she liked, and it was a song from probably more than a decade ago. The tune was quiet and melodious, and the lyrics told the story of a woman who had to support her family alone because her husband was always away.

The story wasn't a bitter complaint, but a faint sorrow of longing.

She only discovered this song recently and was touched the first time she heard it.
