7:56.
Although the dinner rush had already passed, quite a few people were still dining in the restaurant.
But compared to an hour ago, the hall was clearly much quieter now.
The chaotic clamor gradually faded, replaced by the clinking of knives and forks.
This kind of atmosphere seemed perfect for a piece of music.
There was no better opportunity than this.
Lin Tian took a deep breath and sat down before the piano.
"Are you crazy, Lin Tian?!"
Seeing that Lin Tian was actually serious, Xu Yong immediately panicked.
He quickly stepped in front of Lin Tian and lowered his voice agitatedly.
"Do you know what kind of people are dining here today? Did watching videos rot your brain? Those videos that teach you a few keys and claim you can easily play a song are all scams aimed at outsiders!"
"If you actually try to show off with that, you'll embarrass yourself so badly you'll want to crawl into a hole. I fell for it once myself—"
Xu Yong was already cursing inwardly.
They had been friends for two and a half years since high school. Did Xu Yong not know what kind of person Lin Tian was?
Other than being a little handsome, getting slightly better grades, and having a slightly bigger dick, the guy had no other strengths!
Lin Tian could play the piano?
What a joke!
He might as well believe he was the First Emperor!
There were so many people in the restaurant now, and it was so quiet. The moment that piano started playing—
Just imagining it made Xu Yong cringe so hard his toes curled!
That damned habit of feeling embarrassed on behalf of others!
"Actually, I do know a little."
Lin Tian said.
"Know a little? You'd get more people watching if you performed a 360-degree spinning jerk-off right here and sprayed in all directions. You might even trick some girls into spending money!"
"Besides, aren't you afraid Manager Wang will screw you over? You're using his precious piano during work hours. What if he uses that as an excuse to dock your pay?!"
Xu Yong earnestly tried to persuade Lin Tian.
He could not understand how Lin Tian, who was normally so low-profile and invisible, suddenly wanted to do something so attention-grabbing today.
At the same time.
Quite a few of the restaurant's other customers noticed what was happening over here.
When they saw a waiter sit down at the piano in the middle of the hall, they could not help looking over curiously.
Was he about to start playing?
He did not look like someone they had paid to hire. Otherwise, why had they never seen him before?
Was the waiter going to play himself?
That was certainly rare.
Especially when they saw that this waiter looked like an immature high school student.
They even patted the shoulders of their tablemates, stretching their necks to look over together.
They were extremely curious about what sort of performance he could put on.
As he felt more and more heated gazes gathering around him.
Xu Yong could not take it anymore.
He was already starting to feel embarrassed!
"You're on your own!"
Unable to talk Lin Tian out of it, Xu Yong could only leave those words behind and quickly retreat to the side.
If he did not run fast enough, people would think he knew this piano-playing lunatic well!
Don't talk nonsense. They were not close at all!
He did not know him!
Seeing that no one was disturbing him, Lin Tian shifted his gaze to the system interface.
The reason he had said he knew "a little" earlier was because he had no idea what level of proficiency the system could give him.
He opened the Instrument Skill Selection Card.
Please choose one of the following instruments: Violin, Jazz Drums, Guitar, Piano, Suona
Lin Tian lightly swiped his finger: Obtained: Piano Skill (Silver).
In an instant, countless memories related to piano techniques, including music theory, flooded into his mind!
The feeling was strange, as though he had been struck on the head with a club.
In an instant, everything clicked.
At that moment, he placed his fingers on the piano.
It felt as if he had touched an old partner.
Just like Simple picking up a sniper rifle, Liu Qi getting a chessboard, or Momono Kana touching Jinjin.
All he had to do was lightly press his fingers down, and he knew how to use it.
"Dong—"
Lin Tian pressed a key.
As the first note rang out, the heavy sound of the piano echoed throughout the entire restaurant.
Every customer eating and every waiter busy at work was drawn in at once.
Everyone unconsciously turned to look over.
Lin Tian took a deep breath and placed both hands on the piano.
Then he began to play.
"~"
Gentle, soothing notes flowed from the piece.
The song Lin Tian played was called "Wedding in My Dream."
Having transmigrated back eighteen years, he had already forgotten most of the music from his previous life.
But "Wedding in My Dream" was the one song he remembered deeply from beginning to end.
Because it had been the dismissal bell at his high school in his previous life.
Lin Tian liked this song very much and often listened to it through music apps.
Of course, there was a little personal bias involved.
If it had been the class bell, he probably would not have liked it nearly as much.
With the help of Piano Skill (Silver), as long as he remembered the melody.
He could play it with ease.
As Lin Tian's piano music began to flow.
Gradually.
The entire restaurant entered a peaceful, harmonious atmosphere.
"It actually sounds pretty good?"
"Not bad. This piano is nice."
"Wow, is he really a high school student?"
The knives and forks in many customers' hands unconsciously froze in place as they stopped eating.
They began to listen quietly.
Dining while immersed in such piano music was truly a pleasure.
This young waiter actually had some real skill.
Were high school students these days all this impressive?
Even Xu Yong grew more and more bewildered as he watched.
Until he was completely dumbfounded.
No, bro.
You really can play?!
"Wedding in My Dream."
What kind of beautiful piece was it?
When French composer Paul de Senne wrote this piece, he wanted to convey an idealized love and the atmosphere of a romantic wedding.
What many people did not know was that this piece was born in 1978 and was not a classical composition.
It blended the characteristics of classical music and Pop Music, with a soft, elegant melody and an intensely emotional rhythm.
In truth, everyone was born with a sense for music.
Although the people of this world had never heard this piece before.
The romance, elegance, and deep affection within the piano music still resonated precisely with everyone present.
As Lin Tian's performance reached its climax, the melody grew faster and faster.
Astonished exclamations gradually rose from the restaurant's customers.
"Damn, this piano is incredible."
"Seriously, it's my first time liking instrumental music this much. It feels amazing!"
"Even my grandpa said it was elegant!"
"He's not only handsome, he plays so beautifully too! What's this waiter's name?"
"Could he be a trainee from some talent agency?"
Before long, many customers stood up.
This was far too novel!
Wouldn't posting this on Douyin easily get tens of thousands of likes?
They took out their phones, opened their cameras, and began recording Lin Tian.
Several tables that Lin Tian had served earlier were even more stirred up.
Some people even left their seats and walked over to Lin Tian's piano.
Student! Handsome guy! Piano! Music!
When those elements intertwined, they created the most beautiful scene in the tea restaurant!
As the final note of "Wedding in My Dream" fell.
Lin Tian withdrew his hands.
A perfect performance had come to an end!
"That was amazing!"
A woman who had been filming took the lead in applauding, and soon all the customers joined in.
On the land of China, there was never any shortage of onlookers who loved excitement and joining the fun.
"So handsome! Little brother, you're so handsome!" someone screamed.
"That sounded so good! Can you play another one?"
And among the crowd, one waiter was even more excited than anyone else.
"We've known each other for years."
"He's my brother. He's my good brother!"
