Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star (Dropped)

Chapter 148: Injuring Her Fingers

Liu Man played two instruments by herself in one performance.

So this was why they called their performance a trio when they only had two people!

It sounds too good! It's too impressive!

It was what all the audience were thinking at the same time.

Among the art students in the music university, it wasn't rare for someone to know how to play two instruments at once. Nonetheless, those who not only knew how to play two instruments at once but also specialized in a classical Chinese instrument and a western instrument were never seen. Liu Man was the only one the university had ever seen to achieve this.

"I can't believe Hanfu Goddess knows how to play the Guzhen! And she seems so good at it too."

Since the screen read "Guzhen," the audience who couldn't see very well and sat in the back naturally thought she played the Guzhen.

"No, no. The instrument she just played on is a Guqin, not a Guzhen. A Guzhen doesn't have such low notes."

There were students studying folk song instruments among the audience, and they continued to provide knowledge to amateur audiences.

"Mhm, I just examined closely. Her instrument is much smaller than a Guzhen."

"And it's so much harder to play a Guqin than to play a Guzhen. Although I'm reluctant to admit this, Liu Man does have some skills."

...

The few professors sitting in the judges' seats also admired Liu Man and Li Xiaoru's performance. They've been teaching here for decades, but they've never seen such a mesmerizing performance.

They regret underrating Liu Man without knowing more about her.

"Professor Wei, Liu Man will be a good student in the folk song major," A professor from the folk song major said to Wei Wanru, "It's so strange how she chose to go to the piano major."

Wei Wanru furrowed her brows, "You can't have long nails when you play the piano. To play the piano and the Guqin at the same time, I'm guessing she must have injured her right hand. This child is too good at tolerating pain."

No wonder she was one of the best, old professors. Wei Wanru was right; Two of Liu Man's right-hand fingers had long started bleeding from the strings when she was playing the climax part with Li Xiaoru.

To play the Guqin, one needed to pluck the strings with their fingernails on their right hand. The strings were not sharp, but if one didn't have fingernail protection, they would get hurt if they touch the strings with their fingers for a long time.

Liu Man held her injured fingers with her left hand's palm and returned backstage with Li Xiaoru as if nothing had happened.

Even though Li Xiaoru had, just now, played the piano calmly with a professional pianist's level as if the universe had exploded, she was sweating all over, and her heart was almost numb with all the anxiety. The only things supporting her was her unyielding mind and persistence.

At this moment, none of the other performers on the stage dared to underestimate Liu Man and Li Xiaoru. These performers felt that the two girls suddenly had their royal aura, and they subconsciously gave way and bowed their heads as the girls came through.

Only they would know whether they lowered their heads because they felt ashamed for the viciousness of their previous words or if they admired Liu Man and Li Xiaoru's supreme level of playing.

Even though everyone wanted to talk to Liu Man and Li Xiaoru now and get to know them better, they were embarrassed to do so. They could only look at the two girls from a distance, with their words stuck in their throats.
