Chapter 299 The Ultimate Performance of Shield and Spear
"Brother, it's Han Li and the others' turn!" Shen Xue pressed the remote control, pointed at the live feed on the TV, and tried to change the subject.

"I remember, don't contestants who haven't performed usually not watch other people's performances?" Chen Wei's attention was indeed diverted, but it was about something else.

“Yes, that’s a valid point,” Shen Xue nodded in response. “After all, each contestant has a different style, and some people might be influenced by that, leading to poor performance.”

"You don't know how?" Chen Wei asked to confirm.

If you can, you should turn off the TV right away.

He didn't want Han Li to be too smug.

"I can't," Shen Xue said confidently.

Hearing her say that, Chen Wei felt relieved and turned his gaze to the television.

The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." He also wanted to find out just how amazing this so-called violin prodigy really was.

The violinist is positioned forward, while the pianist is positioned slightly to the right and back, appearing more like a supporting player.

The two musicians moved in unison, and the violin and piano played together very well, without creating any sense of chaos.

However, Chen Wei's impression of him was just so-so.

For someone of Han Li's or Du Cheng's age to possess such abilities would be considered a genius, but in Chen Wei's view, it's actually quite normal.

Because the standards for genius are set by people; being better than ordinary people makes one a genius.

Seeing Shen Xue staring intently at the screen with a tense expression, Chen Wei placed his hand on her head and assured her, "Don't worry, we'll definitely win."

"Ah."

……

Picking up their violins, the two walked out of the lounge as the grand finale.

On their way to the stage, they ran into Han Li and Du Cheng, who were returning from their performance.

"I advise you to take off your mask. It's disrespectful to the judges. But whether you take it off or not doesn't really matter. First place will definitely be ours anyway," Han Li said with an air of certainty.

"Who knows?" As Chen Wei passed Han Li and turned his back to them, he reached out and took off his mask.

We have to thank Han Li for reminding us, otherwise it would have been a loss to have our impression points deducted for no reason.

"Tch, what an arrogant guy." Han Li completely ignored Chen Wei's words and planned to go back to the lounge to see Chen Wei and Shen Xue make a fool of themselves.

She noticed that the violin in Chen Wei's hand was probably older than his grandfather. What kind of beautiful sound could such a piece of junk produce?

Is that a crow cawing? Caw caw caw...

"Oh! Breaking news! Contestant Shen Xue has found a new partner. Let's give her a round of applause!" the host announced, warming up the crowd.

Very few people responded.

But when they saw the person walk out from behind the curtain, everyone's eyes widened.

"That person, if I'm not mistaken, is Chen Wei, right?"

"The composer of 'Wedding in a Dream,' 'Für Elise,' and many other world-famous songs?"

"I never expected to see him here, I'm so lucky."

……

In the players' lounge.

"What! Chen Wei, it's Chen Wei!" After seeing Chen Wei's true face under the mask, Han Li had to admit that she was also startled.

Feeling threatened?
How can it be?

If Chen Wei had played the piano himself, Han Li might have truly felt threatened.

But now, he has chosen the position of violinist.

At most, they might know a little bit, but to be as proficient as playing the piano? How is that possible? How could such an all-around person exist in the world?

Unless, by some twist of fate, the window is open but the door is left open.

The sound of a piano came first.

Han Li gritted her teeth, and Shen Xue was a year younger than her, but the gap in their piano skills was something that might not be caught up in even ten years.

Even if there is hope, it is only if Shen Xue does not make progress in the next ten years.

How could that be? It's obviously impossible. Then, Chen Wei's hand moved.

It instantly brought the entire performance to a climax.

If Shen Xue's piano is the strongest shield, then Chen Wei's violin is the sharpest spear, combining offense and defense, and on the battlefield, it is unstoppable and invincible.

The violin sounded just as Han Li had expected; the quality wasn't particularly good, and could even be described as rough.

But it is precisely this roughness that makes the spear appear even more weathered, bearing the marks of countless battles, and thus, all the more substantial.

To magnify weaknesses into strengths!

"I lost." Du Cheng knelt on the ground, completely convinced of his defeat.

"Is this guy a monster? He was already so good at the piano, and now he's so good at the violin too. Can't he leave some room for others to compete?" Han Li couldn't help but complain.

I have a lot of prejudice against Chen Wei.

But one's gaze is unconsciously drawn to Chen Wei's graceful violin playing on the screen.

The strong aroma of the liquor can tempt even those who don't drink to break the taboo and try it.

……

On the stage.

"After unanimous decision by the judges, the winners of this competition are Shen Xue and Chen Wei," the host announced.

Han Li already knew the answer, so she wasn't surprised.

We lost, we lost completely.

Applause thundered.

"I never imagined that Mr. Chen had already achieved such great success in the piano and entertainment industries, and that his skill on the violin was also so amazing."

"Mr. Chen, I am the president of the Violin Association, and I would like to invite you to serve as the vice president of the association..."

"Mr. Chen, would you consider adding a few world-famous pieces to our violin circle?"

……

As soon as the competition ended, Chen Wei became the center of attention.

It took him a lot of effort to break free from that circle; it wasn't easy.

After being nagged about it for so long, my ears are starting to ring.

All he wants now is to go back to the lounge and get some rest.

"Hey……"

Ignoring Han Li, who was leaning against the wall, Chen Wei walked away.

"Hey! Are you ignoring me?" Han Li caught up with Chen Wei in three quick steps, trying to grab him.

But Chen Wei dodged it, his eyes wary as he asked, "What do you want?"

"I just want to see what kind of monster you really are," Han Li said, looking her up and down.

"You ill-mannered fellow."

"Who are you calling ill-mannered?" Han Li really didn't expect that these words would come out of Chen Wei's mouth, and that he would use them on her.

"Honestly, I admire you. How about considering teaming up with me?" Han Li decided to put aside her prejudices for the time being and calmly talk to Chen Wei.

Chen Wei suddenly stopped and turned around, saying, "Do you remember what I said before?"

"Ah!" Han Li was following closely, and Chen Wei's movements were too sudden, so she was startled and stumbled back several steps, almost falling.

"What did you say?" Han Li asked in return.

"I've seen plenty of people who try to show off but end up getting screwed over. Even if you don't need to show off, I wouldn't go for it even if it were given to me," Chen Wei repeated.

"Huh? Who said I was going to sleep with you? I'm going to team up with you!" Han Li corrected.

"Sorry, I'm not interested. Please stay away from me."
