Chapter 186: Chapter 182
Alia Willow deliberately raised her voice, finished the call loudly, and her proud voice was particularly piercing in the quiet classroom.
She then affectionately hooked Charles Pond’s arm, walking past with a face full of pride.
“So annoying, so annoying.
Maria, did you see that look on her face just now?”
Liliana Manor was so angry that she stomped her feet, her hands tightly clenched into fists.
“Let her be proud for a few days first, the truth will co out at the performance.”
Maria Carter shrugged, a confident smile on her face, as if everything was under her control.
She reached out to pick up the bag on the table, her movents graceful and composed, ready to head out.
“By the way, does anyone have ti to play a piano accompanint for ? My song this ti is a piano piece.”
After listening to the songs from Skysound Studio, Maria repeatedly considered it and thought that using a piano piece as accompanint was the best way to showcase the song’s charm.
As soon as she heard that piano accompanint was needed, Liliana Manor jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, shaking her head urgently, her head moving like a rattle drum.
“Don’t ask , you know, my piano playing is awful.
If the piece is even slightly complex, I keep hitting the wrong notes, and the rhythm is completely off.
Charles Pond plays the piano quite well, I rember he even won a silver award for a piano piece.”
Just as the words left Liliana Manor’s mouth, she imdiately covered them with her hands, a regretful expression on her face, inwardly blaming herself for being foolish — why ntion sothing that shouldn’t be ntioned?
Now that Charles Pond and Alia Willow are so close, if he finds out that Maria also bought a song from Skysound Studio, he would definitely tell Alia Willow right away.
Maria Carter pouted, a trace of displeasure flickering on her face. “Forget it, I’ll find soone else.”
As she spoke, she waved her hand, walking out of the classroom with light steps.
The ti for this literature and art performance is pressing, with only half a month left.
And the song from Skysound Studio is an original work with complex lodies and varied rhythms, making it quite challenging to play. Finding a suitable accompanist in such a short ti is really not an easy task.
Maria Carter thought about it and subconsciously slowed her pace.
Unknowingly, she walked to the stairway. At this mont, a boy ca up to her from the opposite direction. With thick glasses, his eyes behind the lenses appeared sowhat vacant.
His hair seed unkempt for a long ti, hanging ssily and almost completely covering his eyes.
Upon closer inspection, his face still bore faint marks left by fading acne.
He wasn’t very tall, about the sa height as Maria Carter, with a thin build that made him appear timid and reticent.
His attire was so simple and plain it bordered on shabby—a typical bookworm appearance.
Maria Carter was preoccupied with the piano accompanint issue, rushing along without even glancing at the people passing by her side.
She was just deep in thought about where to find a suitable accompanist next.
As she was going downstairs, a figure suddenly jumped out in front of her unexpectedly.
“Maria Carter… I can accompany you on the piano.”
The voice carried hints of nervousness and urgency, mixed with a trace of barely detectable trembling.
Maria Carter stopped abruptly, nearly stumbling.
Only then did she cast her gaze on the person who appeared so suddenly, and upon taking a closer look, it turned out to be a bookworm-like boy.
“Oh, Caron John?”
Maria Carter looked surprised, sizing him up, “What did you just say?
That you would help accompany ?
You can play the piano?”
Caron John was Maria Carter’s middle and high school classmate; counting it up, they’ve been classmates for more than 5 years.
But in Maria’s mory, Caron John was like an invisible person, she really had no impression of him.
In these more than 5 years, they had hardly spoken a word, and when occasionally bumping into each other on campus, they rely passed by without even exchanging glances.
The only interaction they had was not long ago.
On that day, Caron John ca to her looking anxious, appearing haggard and uneasy.
He told Maria that his mother was seriously ill, and after going to several big hospitals without success, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and ask Maria for help, wondering if he could get an appointnt at a small clinic.
Maria was in a good mood that day, and thinking it would be worth helping if she could, but not wanting to trouble her sister-in-law, she directed Caron John to find Senior Sister Zhang instead.
Later, Maria heard that with Senior Sister Zhang’s help, Caron John’s mother’s illness was cured.
But after that, the two of them didn’t have any contact again, and never expected Caron John to suddenly appear here today and take the initiative to offer her piano accompanint.
