"Alright! Since even Mr. Mo has said so, I'll give it a try. If I can't meet your and Miss Yao's expectations, I'll just give up!"

Ye Xuan shrugged nonchalantly, looking quite carefree as he spoke.

After all, he didn't come to Shangjing to stubbornly accompany anyone on the piano. It was Yao Xingtong who insisted on inviting him, and he wasn't that interested in playing accompaniment anyway! He simply didn't care! If he could do it, he would; if not, he'd just consider it a trip to Shangjing with his girlfriend.

Mo Tao nodded and said, "Alright, I'll give you the sheet music now, so you can practice slowly on your own. When you're ready, play it for us. I hope you can surprise me!"

Having said this, he instructed someone to retrieve the accompaniment sheet music from the car and personally handed it to Ye Xuan, saying earnestly, "Ye Xuan, I'm quite optimistic about you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I won't hesitate to guide you."

"Alright, thank you, Mr. Mo."

Ye Xuan replied politely with a smile, taking the sheet music.

"Haha, since that's the case, take your time to practice, Ye Xuan! To not disturb you, I won't linger around."

Seeing that everything had been settled, Mo Tao bid farewell with a big smile.

He was actually about to leave but lingered a bit because of the competition between the two. Now that there was nothing else, he naturally had to go.

"Shihao, let's go."

Turning to Wu Shihao, Mo Tao was ready to leave.

Wu Shihao originally wanted to stay, but he didn't want to upset Yao Xingtong again. Moreover, he'd already lost to Ye Xuan, so staying would only add to the awkwardness.

Thus, taking this opportunity, he bid Yao Xingtong farewell and turned to leave with Mo Tao.

"Mr. Mo, let me see you out!"

Yao Xingtong said courteously, and then walked out with the two of them, personally seeing them out of Xingzhu Residence.

In a blink of an eye, the three of them had left, leaving only Ye Xuan and Lu Miaochan in the piano room!

Lu Miaochan came to Ye Xuan's side, tidying his clothes, and asked, "Ye Xuan, are you confident this time?"

"Haha, since when have I ever been not confident? If I'm not sure, I never take on the challenge. Let them watch closely!"

Ye Xuan smiled confidently and then leisurely said, "Besides, it's not like we absolutely have to accompany them. If it works, it works; if not, forget it. If it weren't for your sake, I might not have come at all!"

"Ye Xuan, it's all my fault! I didn't expect you to be put on the spot by them. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you agree." Lu Miaochan said, a bit remorsefully.

"It's not your fault. I had already agreed before you. Wouldn't it be going against my word otherwise?"

Ye Xuan smiled lightly, then stretched lazily before walking back to the piano to sit down, saying, "Anyway, I've done what I promised. If it doesn't work out in the end, it's not my problem! Now, let me look at this sheet music and practice well."

With that, Ye Xuan opened up the accompaniment sheet music and started studying it seriously. After roughly going through it twice, he had already memorized the melody.

If Wu Shihao were still here, and saw Ye Xuan memorizing the sheet music by just looking at it twice, his expression would probably be quite fascinating!

Having finished reading, Ye Xuan set the sheet music aside.

After running through the melody in his mind, he started playing on the piano to practice a bit.

Five minutes later.

When Yao Xingtong returned to the piano room in the villa after seeing Mo Tao and Wu Shihao off, she surprisingly saw Ye Xuan seated at the piano, seemingly playing something.

Out of curiosity, she didn't enter immediately but stood at the doorway, listening with her ear tilted.

What she heard was the accompaniment to her new song, causing a flutter in her heart!

Entering the room discreetly, she quietly approached, trying her best not to disturb Ye Xuan, who was immersed in his piano playing.

As she reached the rest area on the left side of the piano, just about to sit down and listen closely, she caught a shocking sight out of the corner of her eye.

It turned out that there was no sheet music on the piano stand in front of Ye Xuan, and his eyes were completely shut, while the new song's accompaniment sheet music had long been tossed aside.

"What... how is this possible? My goodness! This can't be real!?"

Yao Xingtong's eyes widened in utter astonishment at the scene before her.

However, what shocked her even more was yet to come!

Because Ye Xuan was playing the piece without a single mistake, perfectly matching the melody and accompaniment sheet flow exactly!

This meant that Ye Xuan had fully memorized the contents of the sheet music in such a short time.

And was playing the accompaniment piece completely without looking at the sheet music!

This... was simply unbelievable!

Too incredible to be true.

Realizing this, Yao Xingtong's mouth dropped open, and she gently covered it with her small hand, unsure of how to express her inner shock.

From the moment Ye Xuan received the sheet music till now, only a few minutes had passed, and he could play without looking at the score, perfectly matching the melody! Not even a single note was incorrect!

Yao Xingtong had never met someone before with such an insane memory! How did he do it?

Although unbelievably shocked, Yao Xingtong didn't show it outwardly, suppressing her curiosity.

She sat quietly on the chair, her beautiful eyes fixated on Ye Xuan as if trying to see through him entirely! Yet she didn't miss the excellent opportunity to carefully listen to the piece Ye Xuan was playing, not willing to miss a single note.

At first, perhaps due to unfamiliarity, Ye Xuan's playing wasn't very fluid or skilled! It didn't have the seamless flow of the previous Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and seemed a bit raw!

But as he continued to play, he gradually mastered the rhythm of the piece, playing more smoothly and effortlessly.

And when the piece was finished, he no longer had any sense of roughness, with his playing flowing naturally and clearly! To the point where it belonged nowhere less than the previous Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

It felt as if he had played it countless times before, as if the piece was deeply ingrained in his soul, reaching a realm of naturalness!

As if he had composed the piece himself.

No! At this moment, in Yao Xingtong's mind, he played even better than Mr. Mo, who composed the piece himself.

Oh heavens! Could this guy be a freak?

Yao Xingtong's heart trembled fiercely once again!

Just one playthrough of the piece, and he reached such an advanced realm, far above what someone who just touched the sheet music for less than ten minutes could achieve!

To put it in perspective, Wu Shihao took nearly a whole day to go from getting the sheet music to playing the piece fluently back then!

And even then, he was far from reaching the realm Ye Xuan had.
