Chapter Summary: “A Hidden Gem of a Guy, Xiao Bei”

Xiao Bei and Liu Qingyan visit a violin shop, where they meet Ye Feng, Ye Xuanya’s older brother and the shop owner. Ye Feng immediately dislikes Xiao Bei after assuming that, as the owner of a Lamborghini, he is merely a shallow, show-off second-generation rich kid. When Xiao Bei examines a Suzuki violin, Ye Feng mocks his apparent attempt to impress Liu Qingyan. Rather than argue, Xiao Bei explains the instrument’s history and craftsmanship, then offers to perform.
Although Xiao Bei previously knew nothing about violin, he secretly spends five million system points to acquire master-level violin skills.
