"No need for anything particularly difficult, just Swan Lake. You play it, it's not that hard," Parma said to Su Yang triumphantly.
Actually, Swan Lake wasn't originally a guitar piece; it was for piano. It could be played on a guitar, but the effect wouldn't be as good.
Su Yang nodded upon hearing this and said, "Okay. Although I've never played Swan Lake before, I saw a stage play of it once. I have some impression in my mind, so I should be able to..."
Before Su Yang could finish speaking, Parma burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, no way! What kind of genius are you? You saw a stage play once and are confident you can play Swan Lake?"
Parma looked at Su Yang as if he were a lunatic. He truly didn't believe Su Yang could play the piece after seeing it just once, and he was looking at Su Yang like he was an idiot.
Hearing Parma's words, Su Yang pursed his lips, then looked at Parma and said, "If you don't believe me, we'll just have to wait and see."
"Wait and see? I'll wait and see five or three times! If you don't want to embarrass yourself now, you'd better just admit defeat and beg me. Then I can play the piece for Miss Anna on your behalf."
As he spoke, Parma spread his arms and said to the surrounding people, "Everyone must know my title as a musical genius, right?"
Parma was indeed a musical genius. No matter how low his character was, it couldn't hide the fact that his rap albums ranked first in global sales.
After Parma's triumphant question, the guests chimed in with agreement.
Su Yang learned about Parma's information from the encyclopedia he had in his mind. That encyclopedia was incredibly useful, knowing everything. It knew the information of every guest, and even the birthplace of an ant on the road.
"Some things you can do, don't rush to show off. If you really can't do it, with how rich you are, we wouldn't laugh at you too much," Parma said provocatively to Su Yang. It was as if the one million US dollars Su Yang had given Parma earlier was a foolish waste.
Su Yang smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to worry about whether I embarrass myself or not. I know what I'm doing. Although I've only seen the stage play once, I have a pretty good memory."
As he spoke, Su Yang kept smiling and looked at Parma. "Just know that whether I embarrass myself or not is none of your business."
After finishing, Su Yang turned to Anna and asked, "Do you need to prepare yourself first?"
Anna looked at Su Yang with concern. It wasn't that Anna didn't believe Su Yang... it was that she was somewhat suspicious. How could Su Yang know everything? It was almost illogical... He was so rich, an excellent diver, and seemed to have all skills maxed out, like a robot. Now, in a field that wasn't his specialty, he could play the guitar and claimed he could play Swan Lake after seeing it once. However, looking at Su Yang's expression, he seemed genuinely serious, as if he truly could do it.
Su Yang knew what Anna was thinking and smiled faintly, "You believe me, right?"
Anna nodded at Su Yang. "Yes."
"That's good. Do you need to prepare now?"
Anna shook her head. "A professional dancer is always ready to dance."
Hearing Anna's words, Su Yang's smile deepened. He pulled the chair that Hans had been sitting on backward, creating enough space for Anna, and then sat down on the chair. He took out his guitar, tuned it, and strummed a few strings to check the pitch. This guitar, truly worthy of being a million-dollar instrument, sounded wonderful even with a casual strum.
On the other side, Meimei had been worried about Su Yang. But when she saw Su Yang's tuning actions, for some reason, her heart suddenly felt at ease. She had initially worried that Su Yang couldn't play the guitar, but she hadn't expected that Su Yang actually could. Su Yang's tuning movements were very professional, which was then clearly recognized by the music professionals present.
If Meimei knew, then Parma, known as the musical genius, naturally also noticed. Parma was very arrogant. He looked down on almost everything and everyone. He disdained everything and everyone in this world. However, the one thing he respected was music. It was as if music had saved Parma's life. Initially, he had looked at Su Yang with extreme disdain, but when he saw that Su Yang could actually play the guitar, his gaze towards Su Yang immediately changed. The look of contempt disappeared by more than fifty percent.
"Hey?" George saw the change in Parma's expression and couldn't help but ask, "He can really play?"
Parma pursed his lips. "It seems he really can. His movements are quite professional."
Upon hearing this, George scoffed, "Just putting on a show."
Parma didn't deny it. He also suspected that Su Yang might be faking it to deceive them. But Su Yang was about to play Swan Lake now; it was so close to the moment, he probably wouldn't try to trick them anymore, right?
Anna, too, was incredibly confident within her own domain. Standing there, she was like a born queen, waiting to be admired. After standing for a moment, Anna nodded at Su Yang, signaling him to begin playing.
Receiving Anna's signal, Su Yang's fingers began to strum the strings. The venue was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of waves and the crackling bonfire. Accompanied by Su Yang's soft and soothing music, it made one feel incredibly comfortable. Many musicians, when listening to music, habitually close their eyes to feel it, as if communicating with the soul of the music. But Parma, after closing his eyes for a moment, suddenly opened them because he couldn't believe that such flawless, impeccable music could be played by Su Yang. Keeping his eyes open, he watched Su Yang play the entire Swan Lake. Several times, Parma couldn't help but close his eyes to savor the music Su Yang was performing. It was, without exaggeration, like the sound of heaven.
