Chapter 60 For Alice 2
“You know the piano? Well, so you can say what's the problem is with my playing.” Gavin Shen asked coldly. He knew Finn Chen well. Finn was just a delivery man who had no chance to learn the piano.
Maura frowned. She thought Finn was too enraged by Gavin's behaviors. She had lived with Finn for three years, so she knew well that Finn even hadn't touched the piano.
Even if Finn really knew about it, he must know just so little. Gavin was skilled, so Finn definitely couldn't find Gavin's flaws.
Finn was asking for shame, Maura thought.
“Are you sure to let me say?” Finn squinted.
“Say it!"
Finn sighed.
“Or you're just fooling us...”
Gavin intended to mock, but Finn spoke at this moment. “It's A minor and G major in the prelude, and you played it much more slowly. You played wrong the seventh the ninth syllables in the middle...”
Gavin's face changed. He knew Finn was right!
Indeed, he played wrong in the prelude!
Then, the flaws Finn pointed out endless were all true!
Even a few of them didn’t be found by himself!
Gavin's face turned pale, cold sweat flowing from his forehead. Did this worm really know much about the piano?
Even his teacher couldn't find such a lot of flaws!
Did Finn know much more than Gavin's teacher?
“Do you need more?” Finn sneered. There were still many he didn't say. “You...how do you find that?” Gavin swallowed with shocks.
“You played so terribly, so anyone who knows about the piano should find it.” Finn snorted.
“Bullshit! I'm skilled!” Gavin's face turned red. Playing the piano was his proudest skill, so he couldn't endure that somebody said he played terribly.
Finn shook his head. “At least I think you played terribly.”
Maura's mouth kept open, eyes full of surprise. Finn...he really knew about the piano!
And he seemed to know much more than Gavin!
Was Finn Chen really a delivery man?
The people watching the live video were also surprised.
“How can this worm say that Mr. Shen played terribly?”
“He's just a delivery man, so he must have even not touched the piano before.”
“But..look at Mr. Shen's expression. It seems that that worm is right.” “You said I played terribly, so how about you?” Gavin shouted to Finn. “Me? I'm just ten times better than you.” Finn said calmly.
“Bullshit!” Gavin couldn't bear such great humiliation! “Since you said you're ten times better than me, how about to play it for us? Let's see who's better.”
Knowing about the piano and playing the piano were totally different. Even if Finn knew some about the piano, he might not be capable of playing.
Knowing about the music theory was just a part of playing the piano, also requiring fingering and a sense of rhythm.
“Are you sure to let me play?” Finn smiled. He would like to give Gavin a chance to regret it.
"Of course!” Gavin gritted his teeth. He still believed that Finn was just a delivery man who did terribly in playing the piano.
“Alright, just listen carefully. I'll teach you how to play this song!” Finn smiled with confidence. Since Gavin was asking for shame, he would realize Gavin's desire.
“Do you want to play the same song as mine?” Gavin felt humiliated. For those who didn’t know much about the song, the easiest way to let them know the winner was to play the same song.
Few musicians dared to compete in this way, because it was so obvious when others judged.
Those who had the abilities to win others in this way were all the most reputable musicians, being immersed in practicing for many years.
So, definitely, Gavin didn't believe Finn was one of them.
But Finn nodded. “Only in this way can I show you how terribly you played.”
Arrogant!
So arrogant!
Gavin's face changed a lot. How could such a coward be such confident?
“Maura, we've married for three years, but I seldom send you something special. Today's song, For Alice, is a gift for you. Please don't mind my flaws.” Finn looked at Maura Shawn with fond eyes. “Beethoven was unmarried all his life, but there was still the one he loved, the owner of this song, his girl student.”
So, For Alice was not only a song, but also a gift to show the love.
“I'll never mind your flaws. I like whatever you played.” Maura was blushed. Finn was so charming today.
Everyone knew Finn's meaning that Maura was just his Alice, his beloved all his life.
Gavin, aside, was so jealous. No matter how terribly Finn would play, Gavin was the loser. Maura's eyes were full of Finn, no space for anybody else!
Even if Finn was like shit, Maura would love him!
