I Have Decided to Go Look for My Real Father

Finding My Father - CH 177

Chapter 177 - "Should I go in suit or something more casual." (3)

After the piece was over, Gu Chenyi immediately went back from his cold and handsome look back to a face full of smile.

Walking over to Gu Xi with a gloating look, he said to her, "Well? Simple, right?"

"......"

Gu Nian remained silent but gave Gu Chenyi a loaded look.

"What? What is it?" Gu YuanChen felt uncomfortable being looked at by Gu Xi like that.

He saw Gu Xi curving her lips with a very fake smile, blinked, and said very seriously to him, "Xiao Chen-zi, have it ever occurred to you that we look a lot alike?"

Gu YuanChen paused for a second and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Gu Yanxiao had already figured out what Gu Xi was trying to say. He almost spit his cola out

"I like Xixi's idea. Hahah. I'll sponsor the wig and the costume."

And have Gu Chenyi pretend to be Gu Xi during the performance.

Even though he was well aware that Gu Xi was only joking, but the mental image was still pretty funny.

Gu Chenyi, too, had it figured out after Gu Yanxiao had pointed that out. Not only was he not bothered by it, he even felt complacent.

"Yes, I do think that the two of us look alike."

He wasn't wrong about that either. Gu Shao and Gu Xian looked alike. As such, Gu Xi and Gu Chenyi look the most alike in their generation.

"Haha. Alright, Gu Xi, your turn. Just do it the way that Gu Chenyi did."

"Okay." Gu Xi replied to her and sat down in front of the piano with a serious look.

Gu Xi first performed the piece once at regular speed.

As she hadn't been practicing for a long while, Gu Xi was a bit rusty at it. Overall, however, she didn't make a lot of mistakes.

That was enough to impress the Art Committee girl.

"Alright. Now let's try the fast part."

"Okay," said Gu Xi seriously. Except that she felt her fingers hurting when she recalled Gu Chenyi's pace from earlier.

Seeing the solemn look on Gu Xi, the Art Committee girl couldn't help but chuckled. "Oh, c'mon, no need to be that serious. Relax."

"Okay." Gu Xi nodded again. Okay, she'd just assume that she was drumming on the keyboard.

Luckily Gu Xi's fingers were agile. Even with a little bit of "bumpiness" in the middle, she was still able to complete the section.

Dong Mingming suddenly noticed someone outside the door.

"Heh? Su Xiuying?"

"Where?" The others turned and looked and also noticed Su Xiuying leaning on the door.

"Su Xiuying, what are you doing here?" asked Gu Chenyi.

"Just passing by." A nonchalant answer.

It would have been more perfect if they could overlook the split second of stiffness on his face.

"You were just wandering around and ended up outside of the Art Building?" Gu Chenyi mumbled but still fished out a bottle of cola from his pocket and handed it over to Su Xiuying.

Gu Yanxiao didn't say anything but looked at Su Xiuying with his brows raised.

Su Xiuying didn't explain himself and insisted on the "passerby" excuse as he left expressionlessly.

He only came over to see which piece will Gu Xi be performing.

The light effect wasn't just a simple coding. He would at least need to know the type of piece that Gu Xi would be performing and design the theme and effect of the lights basing on main theme and the emotions of the piece."

One way or another, he refused to admit that he came out of curiosity.

***
What had occurred to Su Xiuying occurred to Gu Xi as well. As such, during her practice in the afternoon, she had the Art Committee girl made a recording of her.

That night, Gu Xi logged into the chat app and clicked on her chat with [AAA].

Lo and behold, before Gu Xi could even say anything, [AAA] had already sent her a text.

[AAA]: I've completed a preliminary program framework. You can give it a try and see if it's the kind of effect that you have in mind.

Su Xiuying skipped his classes in the afternoon to work on this.

That being said, the others were already used to him not showing up in class so nobody nocied anything was off.

Looking at the compressed file that was being sent over, Gu Xi was very surprised. She hasn't even sent over her audio file yet and he already had a preliminary program for her?

Inside the compressed file, there was also the software that was needed in addition to his codes.

Gu Xi loaded in her audio file, ran the program, and the light effect quickly showed up on the screen along with the music.

Gu Xi was pleasantly surprised by the effect on the computer screen.

She was a bit worried that the effect created by [AAA] might not mesh well with her music. This level of compatibility had exceeded her expectation.

It was exactly what she had in mind!

[AAA]: What do you think?

Su Xiuying was actually a little nervous when he asked.

[X]: Amazing

[AAA]: I am glad you like it. This is just the prelim. I will keep working on it and add in codes for hologram.

Gu Xi replied with an [Okay] as she thought about thanking him profusely when they met up.
