The all-round coser bravely challenges the female supremacy!

"Flamboyant and extroverted? I can't play the flute on stage, right? It would be too monotonous. This is my farewell performance."

Jin Xuerong was a little confused for a moment.

"Well...what do you think of the guzheng?"

Su Yu suggested.

When Jin Xuerong heard Su Yu's words, she called Huaizhi to replace the guqin on the table with a guzheng.

Jin Xuerong pulled Su Yu to sit side by side in front of the guzheng, plucked a few strings to test the sound, turned to Su Yu and said proudly,

"The guzheng is not difficult for me. It is the instrument I am best at besides the guqin!"

Jin Xuerong smiled triumphantly at Su Yu, turned around and hooked, plucked, and supported the strings with her fingers. A rhythmic and exciting song burst out from Jin Xuerong's hands in a show of skill.

It was just one song. Jin Xuerong was extremely confident in her performance and turned to Su Yu proudly and said,

"How's it going? The piece I played."

Su Yu nodded in approval.

"The emotion is high and majestic, like a war song?"

Jin Xuerong looked at Su Yu with admiration,

"You have good ears! This is indeed a war song that has been passed down from the border. I heard that this song is often played at the border to boost the morale of the soldiers!"

Then Jin Xuerong kept moving, her fingers slowly plucking the strings, playing another romantic song, and glanced at Su Yu from time to time.

Su Yu looked at Jin Xuerong's seductiveness and felt itchy, wanting to pinch his waist.

Seeing that there was no one around, Su Yu started to tickle Jin Xuerong's itchy spot.

The sound of the piano suddenly became intermittent, and then disappeared, followed by the sound of Jin Xuerong's wanton laughter.

“Hahaha, don’t tickle me, hahaha, don’t touch here, hahaha…”

Su Yu saw Jin Xuerong laughing so hard that her hair was all messed up, so he stopped and tidied up his messy hair for him, and said preemptively,

"Are you still teasing me? Are you still going to learn the song properly?"

Jin Xuerong originally wanted to scold her, but she didn't expect that she would turn the tables first. She immediately rolled her eyes at Su Yu coquettishly.

"Learn! Of course I have to learn. Can you play the guzheng?"

Su Yu smiled confidently at Jin Xuerong and began to perform! The song was "Caribbean Fairy Sword".

First, there was rhythmic beating of the boards, then sweeping and striking the strings, and the strings were played with impact. This performance left Jin Xuerong, who was standing next to him, stunned.

After the song ended, Su Yu immediately withdrew her hand, put it to her side and kept rubbing her clothes. It hurt her so much! She didn't show it on the surface. Looking at Jin Xuerong who was stunned by her, she smiled and said,

"How is it? How does it feel?"

Jin Xuerong came back to her senses when she heard Su Yu's voice, and pulled Su Yu's arm excitedly,

"Su Yu Su Yu! How did you come up with this way of playing?! It's so cool and handsome! The aura is completely different!"

Su Yu's fingers were still a little painful at the moment, so he pressed them hard with all five fingers where Jin Xuerong couldn't see, which relieved the pain a little.

Looking at Jin Xuerong's excited expression, Su Yu smiled bitterly and asked,

"Do you usually play the guzheng with your fingers like this?"

Jin Xuerong asked curiously,

"Huh? Aren't they all played with fingers? How else can they be played?"

Having said that, Jin Xuerong was about to play the same way Su Yu had just played, but after just a few beats, she covered her fingers and retracted them.

Su Yu reached out and took Jin Xuerong's hand, turning it over and seeing her fingers were red.

"Hiss—you're using too much force! Look how red your fingers are!"

Su Yu held Jin Xuerong's hand with heartache and blew gently on her fingertips.

Jin Xuerong frowned and looked at Su Yu.

"You played it like this just now, even harder than me. Don't your fingers hurt?"

As Jin Xuerong was speaking, Su Yu held her hand and blew on her fingertips. She turned her palm downwards and grabbed Su Yu's hand and turned it over. Sure enough, she saw that there were still red marks on her fingertips.

Jin Xuerong raised her head with a stern face and looked at Su Yu unhappily.

"If this is such an inappropriate way to play, why do you still play it like this?"

Su Yu laughed awkwardly.

"I just didn't expect you didn't have nails and were just playing with your fingers."

Jin Xuerong gently rubbed Su Yu's fingertips. When she heard Su Yu mention the nail plate, she subconsciously raised her eyebrows and thought,

"Nail plates? For playing the guzheng? How do you play it? Are they tied to your fingers?"

Su Yu looked at Jin Xuerong who understood immediately and praised her with a smile.

"Our Xuerong is so smart! She understands what I mean the moment I tell her."

Su Yu stopped Jin Xuerong from kneading her fingers, and instead took his hand and kneaded his fingers gently.

"I'll teach you the music first. As for the way to play it just now, wait until I make you a pair of artificial nails tomorrow morning, and then I'll teach you."

Jin Xuerong was indeed the top performer at Zuiyue Tower, truly gifted with both talent and beauty! Su Yucai had only taught him two or three times, and he had memorized everything, though his technique was a little unfamiliar.

The two of them played and rested for the entire afternoon. Jin Xuerong was serious about learning the music, and once she started, she couldn't stop.

Su Yu forced him to pause several times throughout the afternoon, coaxing him to eat cakes and drink tea to relieve the fatigue of his fingers.

By the time dinner was served, Jin Xuerong was able to play the entire piece fluently, and only then did she eat her dinner with great satisfaction.

The two of them were so immersed in playing the piano that afternoon that they didn't know how many people passed by the gate of the yard.

Before returning to the yard in the evening, Su Yu told Jin Xuerong not to practice the piano anymore and to wait until she made the pick.

This afternoon, Su Yu finally witnessed Jin Xuerong's perseverance. He really didn't know how much he had paid behind this talent to have such strength.

Jin Xuerong sat comfortably on the couch with a teacup in her hand, and assured Su Yu lazily through the window,

"Don't worry, I've learned it. It won't be like that this afternoon."

Su Yu then walked out of the Osmanthus Fragrance Pavilion, looking back every few steps. Jin Xuerong looked extremely proud. Look! Su Yu is so reluctant to leave me!

As soon as Su Yu came out of the Osmanthus Fragrance Pavilion, she saw Chunyan waiting for her at the door. As soon as she came out, she immediately came forward and said attentively,

"Miss Su, shall we go back to the yard?"

Su Yu nodded at her and said,

"Well, let's go back."

When the two returned to Shuiyunxuan, it was already getting dark and the stone lamps in the yard had been lit.

When Su Yu came back, she saw Da Zhuang lighting the last stone lantern in the yard. When Da Zhuang heard the noise from Su Yu and the others, he immediately turned around, covered the tinder in his hand and greeted Su Yu.

"Miss Su, you're back."

Su Yu looked at Da Zhuang's honest face and replied with a smile,

"Yeah, I'm back. Let's wash up and go to bed soon."

Chunyan ran to Dazhuang with a smile and hit her as if to say hello. The two of them talked jokingly about preparing clothes for Su Yu.

Su Yu felt vaguely like she was going home! It felt so good to have someone waiting for her!

Su Yu walked back to the house along the east corridor. When he passed the east wing, he glanced at the neatly arranged pig pancreas soaps on the table by the window in the light of the courtyard.

Well, it's still a little damp, but it should be fine by tomorrow morning.
