<h4>Chapter 61: Piano Competition, I’m Betting on Your Hands</h4>


    “Welsh, I won’t let you off so easily.”


    Lex thought to himself resolutely.


    At this moment, the other students were eating dessert and chatting happily. Suddenly, someone saw the piano in the corner.


    “The pianist is off work. How about we let Lex y a song for everyone to add to the fun?”


    “That’s a good idea. Lex won the first prize in the inter-school piano tournament.


    He was called the piano prince.”


    “Drinking milk tea in the restaurant, eating desserts, added with wonderful music, it’s a great feeling.”


    “Lex, give it a go.”


    Hearing that everyone wanted him to y the piano, Lex’s spine straightened.


    This feeling of being surrounded by everyone was what he really wanted.


    Especially when he saw Britney looking over, he instantly felt his vanity soar.


    He looked provocatively in Welsh’s direction, but Welsh did not look at him at all. This made him feel helpless as if he had hit cotton.


    “Since everyone wants to hear it, I will y.


    But it’s not interesting for me to y alone. If Miss Britney is willing to dance along tot he music, then it’ll be much more interesting.”


    Whoosh!


    Everyone looked at Britney.


    “Okay, no problem.”


    Britney smiled.


    Under the dim yellow lights in the dining room, Britney stretched out her slender fingers and looked in Welsh’s direction. She said affectionately, “Today’s dance is dedicated to my best friend, Welsh.”


    “Wow, Welsh must be so happy. He is doted on by the two goddesses. I want it too.”


    “School beau, although we don’t have any talent, we will always love you.”


    The girls expressed their standings excitedly, while the rest of the male students suddenly felt that they were here only to make up the numbers.


    They couldn’t help but feel sad. Some even secretly wiped their tears.


    This was too unfair.


    Was it not enough for Welsh to have two goddesses? He even had to harvest the few remaining resources.


    When Lex saw this scene, he was so angry he wanted to cough up a mouthful of blood.


    Why?


    Everyone was surrounding Welsh. In junior high, he had been toyed within his palms.


    It had only been a short while, but he had already left him far behind.


    This huge difference between reality and imagination made him unable to see reality clearly.


    If one observed carefully, they would notice that Lex’s hands on the piano were trembling.


    However, he still adjusted his emotions. As long as he performed well this time, he would definitely gain the admiration of many people.


    “Ding… Ding Ling Ling…”


    A section of gentle notes jumped out. Britney began to dance like an elf.


    Everyone was immersed in the music and dancing, and their eyes were filled with deep envy.


    Britney’s figure, along with the light and fast notes, twisted her soft body, attracting the apuse of the entire hall.


    Not only were the students attracted, but the other customers in the restaurant, including the restaurant staff, were all attracted.


    Welsh had to admit, “This guy ys the piano pretty well.”


    Celia looked at Welsh and smiled. “Don’t you think the person dancing is better?”


    “My little beauty, why does it sound like you’re jealous?”


    Welsh looked at Celia.


    “Humph, don’t look at me. She is dancing especially for you. Don’t let her down.”


    Celia said angrily.


    “No matter how beautiful she is, she is not as beautiful as my little beauty.”


    Welsh stretched out his hand and pinched her little face.


    “Bang!”


    At this moment, Lex could not hold it in any longer.


    His hands hit the piano and it attracted everyone’s attention. The atmosphere in the restaurant also became stagnant.


    “Welsh, do you know what respect is?”


    Lex pointed at Welsh and scolded him.


    Countless gazes turned to look at Welsh. Welsh stood up gently and said, “It is your business to y the piano. It is my business to choose whether to listen ot not to listen. It seems like you are too narrow-minded.”


    Lex became even angrier when he heard that. He roared, “It’s fine if you don’t put me in your eyes. But what about Britney, what do you treat her as?”


    Welsh picked up his wine ss and walked to the front of Britney. He raised the ss in his hand and downed it in one gulp


    Britney smiled knowingly and continued to dance.


    Lex continued to scold him angrily, “Country bumpkin, to be chattering away when someone else is performing, don’t you know the how to be well-behaved?”


    “Well-behaved?”


    Welsh smiled and ignored the angry Lex. “The way you’re ying is not even as pleasing as my whistle. If I were to y like you, I would rather chop off my hands.”


    “Alright, this is what you said. If you can not y as well as I can, then kneel down and apologize.”


    “Welsh?”


    At this moment, Celia pulled on his arm.


    She had never heard that Welsh yed the piano, and the other students began to discuss it animatedly as well.


    “Don’t agree. This is obviously Lex’s trap, deliberately provoking Welsh to agree.”


    “That’s right, Lex is too much of a bully. His talent in ying the piano is famous in the school.”


    Some girls did not want Welsh to beughing stock, so they prayed silently with their hands.


    “Lex, you’ve gone too far,” Britney said.


    “Why don’t you dare to agree!”


    Lex looked at Welsh with contempt.


    “Alright, if you lose, you can leave your hands behind.”


    Lex was shocked. This guy actually wanted his hands. What surprised himeven more was that Welsh actually agreed.


    Looking at his confident look, could it be that he still had some tricks up his sleeve?


    Impossible.


    He must be faking it. I am the strongest when ites to the piano, what am I afraid of!


    As for the other female students, they started to panic.


    When it came to the piano, how could he be a match for Lex? This was a trap.


    “Welsh, are you confident!”


    Celia said worriedly.


    “Don’t worry!”


    Welsh sat at the piano and closed his eyes in front of everyone’s puzzled gazes.


    The piano charts that he had seen before became clearer and clearer in his mind, till all the notes began to dance happily in his mind.


    He had strong spiritual power and could learn anything quickly.


    He only needed to think about it for a moment before being able to y the piano.


    Lex saw that Welsh did not start and burst intoughter. “If you don’t know how to y, then you don’t know how to y. You’re acting really well. This is great, you’re even more embarrassed now.”


    “This is terrible. Would Welsh really lose?”


    “What should we do now? If the school beau loses, he has to kneel down and apologize to Lex.”


    Britney looked at Celia worriedly. She was so nervous that her fingers were clenched together.


    However, Celia remained calm. She trusted Welsh unconditionally.


    “Ding Ling…”


    Welsh began to y.


    Beautiful notes were yed one after another. They were fast and urgent. The beautiful music seemed to bring everyone to another world.


    There were mountains, forests, waterfalls, every inch ofnd, and every breeze. They felt the resonance of their souls.


    They had never heard such a beautiful tune.


    Some people even cried as they listened.


    Celia and Britney looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.


    This music…


    The two of them touched the corners of their eyes, and found that they became a little moist unknowingly.


    Lex’s face was already pale. When the music started, he had already lost.
