Wen Feiran shook her head, "I don't play the violin."

Zhou Lei was praised as a genius singer, even though he knew he didn't create the lyrics and music. He was brainwashed and became arrogant, thinking that the entire music industry should respect him. Hearing this, he lightly rebuked him without any restraint.

He considered this his true nature, consistent with his identity, and also one of the aspects of his personal charm.

Su Shangting immediately exploded, "What do you mean by this?"

Zhou Lei raised an eyebrow. "It's nothing, I just feel that Wen Feiran isn't cool at all."

Wen Feiran: "..." Pretending to be a deadbeat.

He couldn't be bothered to argue with Zhou Lei, afraid of catching his bad temper and having his IQ drop. He just patted Su Shangting's arm and said, "Don't worry, I'm serious."

Su Shangting couldn't even recognize what kind of musical instrument it was, and still believed that Wen Feiran was lying, which made him extremely sad.

Wen Feiran was the first to play. He sat in the middle chair, took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, and gently stroked the strings with his fingers.

It's nice to see you again, old friend.

Nowadays, young people pursue entertainment and relaxation. Professor Li has seen his granddaughter wearing headphones, curled up on the sofa, laughing incessantly like a little duck, and sometimes even trembling and rolling around a couple of times.

Professor Li has a very good relationship with his granddaughter. He believes that people need to constantly acquire new knowledge and make progress, and he is willing to accept things from younger generations. The two get along like friends, and his granddaughter keeps recommending her favorite variety show to him.

His name is "Forward All the Way," and his granddaughter's favorite celebrity is Wen Feiran.

This was the first time her granddaughter had ever been a fan of a celebrity. Professor Li was worried that she would be led astray, so he was always concerned. When he saw his granddaughter watching a variety show, he turned his attention to her.

His granddaughter was wearing headphones, so he couldn't hear her, but he could see a well-behaved young man with black hair on the screen, holding a musical instrument and playing it with great enthusiasm.

Professor Li's eyes were already blurry; he thought there was something wrong with his eyes and rubbed them in disbelief.

The granddaughter took off her headphones and looked at her grandfather excitedly, "Feiran can play that instrument in your study!"

Professor Li couldn't possibly have mistaken her granddaughter's appearance. He immediately went over excitedly, unplugged his headphones, and the melodious music echoed in his ears.

This is the oldest musical instrument, from which many other instruments have been derived. Professor Li loves the deep, resonant sound produced when the strings are plucked. He believes it is the source of all sounds, carrying the weight of history and the passage of time that always makes him feel its weight.

However, this instrument is becoming increasingly unpopular, and he has not been able to recruit any students for two years. The school is considering abandoning this major, and the successor will either pass away or change careers, and it is about to be lost.

Professor Li was extremely worried and couldn't sleep night after night.

I never expected that someone on the lighthearted variety show my granddaughter watches would play this instrument, and play it so well!

Those in the know understand the intricacies. Professor Li, who has studied this instrument his entire life, knows that it faces extinction because of its extremely high level of difficulty. Not only does it require talent, but it also demands a significant investment of time; only then can one even begin to grasp the basics.

Although it only has three strings, it can produce nearly a hundred different sounds, but this is very difficult to achieve. However, the young man in front of him is at a similar level.

His future is limitless!

He was playing a piece of national treasure quality, and the first half of it was performed exceptionally well. Professor Li was deeply moved, and his cloudy old eyes gradually became moist. He was extremely gratified.

At the same time, it is also a great pity that the second half of the score has long been lost in the long river of history, and even though he spent his whole life searching for it, he did not get a single clue.

He was about to sigh when he noticed that the young man's hands hadn't stopped, and the music continued to flow gently in his ears.

Professor Li's heart almost stopped for a moment; he stood there stunned in disbelief.

The music flowed smoothly and the melody was unified. It was neither a poor imitation nor a wildly imaginative creation, but rather formed a perfectly unified rhythm. He felt as if he had returned to a thousand years ago and was listening to the ancients playing the music.

This is the lost second half!!

Professor Li trembled with excitement, gripping his granddaughter's arm tightly, "I need to know this person's contact information!"

Granddaughter:...?

"I need this person's contact information in one minute."

How did his grandfather become a domineering CEO?

Chapter 45 Bonfire Party

The instrument was one they had never seen before, and the music was one they had never heard before. Everyone present was stunned, and they didn't even realize what was happening until Wen Feiran lowered his hand.

Su Shangting opened his mouth, and after a second, he finally spoke, "Feiran, you're amazing! I didn't know you could play!"

Wen Feiran smiled modestly.

For him, the most important thing is the result; he wants a king-size bed!

Wen Feiran played his best piece. Reflecting on the process, he was quite satisfied with his performance. The rest was up to fate.

Next up was Zhou Lei. He struck a super cool pose, like a prodigal son who had gone through countless hardships in love. Leaning against the sunlit window, he played the guitar with a deep and melancholic expression.

But contrary to his expectations, the fans in the live stream didn't scream; instead, they were still discussing it intensely.

[You guys have really disappointed me. It's been so long and you still haven't figured out what instrument Wen Feiran was playing?!]

[I always thought Wen Feiran's all-around abilities were just a persona, but now I realize that only "all-around ability" could create such a persona.]

[Wen Feiran isn't all-around talented; all he does is socialize. doge emoji]

[Look at the trending topics! Even the goddess is involved!]

Professor Li's granddaughter has been immersed in knowledge since childhood. She is lively and cheerful in private, but online she is a gentle and intellectual history and science popularization blogger. She quotes extensively from classical texts and occasionally shares real old objects. She has a large number of fans and ranks highly in many rankings. Each of her posts receives hundreds of comments within minutes, and her influence is comparable to that of a second-tier celebrity.
