Today, Xiao Yunna wore a black low-cut dress, which made her fair skin stand out even more. Her delicate features, highlighted under the lighting, appeared incredibly beautiful.

And hearing the chanting from below the stage, Xiao Yunna slowly raised her head, like a proud peacock turning to glance at Ye Yuwan, sneering inwardly:

Do you see, Ye Yuwan? I'm no less than you.

Moreover, once I finish my performance, I'll make that man by your side embarrass himself and let everyone know how poor your taste in men is!

Xiao Yunna then withdrew her gaze and smiled gently, bowing slightly to the students and teachers below before walking over to the piano and sitting down, her hands placed on the keys.

In that instant, her face was filled with confidence.

She was sure to captivate the entire audience!

"Ding—"

The piano keys were pressed by Xiao Yunna, and the pleasant sound of the piano arose.

At this moment, Xiao Yunna was focused, putting all her heart into the piano, her hands fluttering over the keys like dancing butterflies, while the enchanting sound of the music spread.

The piano piece was graceful and soothing, as if a fairy had descended to stroll in the woods, captivating everyone's hearts and leaving them intoxicated.

After a mesmerizing piano piece ended, the students came to their senses, bursting into applause, and they couldn't stop exclaiming in amazement.

"So beautiful! It sounds so good!"

"Of course it does, she's our school's piano princess—of course she plays well!"

"The point is, not only does she play the piano well, she is also beautiful. I don't think she's any less than Ye Yuwan!"

"Alas, I'm glad I didn't sign up for piano, otherwise if Xiao Yunna played before me, that really would've been a laughingstock."

"Haha, you're really wise then."

The students were all impressed by Xiao Yunna's beauty and the melodious music; at that moment, they seemed to truly forget about Ye Yuwan.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled and turned to Ye Yuwan with a grin, "It seems your position as the school's goddess has quite the challenger."

"Hehe, I don't care about being the school's goddess."

Ye Yuwan smiled lightly, unconcerned. In her heart, she added, "I just want to be the goddess of your heart."

As they were speaking, they didn't see that Xiao Yunna had already taken the microphone and come to the edge of the stage. Looking at Jiang Chen, her eyes revealed a mocking expression as she suddenly smiled:

"Classmates, Ye Yuwan is a nationally famous singer, and her companion, Jiang Chen, is also a well-known figure in our school. Since student Jiang Chen has won the appreciation of a great star, he must have a good understanding of music. Now that I've offered a starter with my piano piece, why don't we have our new king come up and play a song too?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

But soon, those who liked to stir troubles or were jealous erupted:

"Great! Let's have Jiang Chen play something!"

"The New King can't chicken out!"

"Jiang Chen, play something!"

"Jiang Chen, play something!"

Gradually, the students' chants became more uniform, even the freshmen started using the songs from military training to shout loudly.

However, many people looked at Jiang Chen with disdain.

If Jiang Chen truly dared to play the piano after Xiao Yunna, he would only become a joke. But if he didn't dare to step up, that too would make him a joke.

Haha, perfect! I've been annoyed by this New King for a while, and now I'm so happy to see him make a fool of himself!

Those who were jealous of Jiang Chen, hoping to witness his embarrassment, began to shout louder and louder.

Gong Yue smirked among the crowd, and now she too believed that Jiang Chen would certainly make a fool of himself.

Seeing Gong Yue smile, Xu Zhiyan took the opportunity to say, "Gong Yue, don't forget what you promised me, to have dinner together tonight."

"Sure, as long as that jerk Jiang Chen screws up, I won't just have dinner with you, I'll also go to the movies with you!" Gong Yue nodded, her gaze staying fixated on Jiang Chen.

"Great, you said it, you can't go back on your word!" Xu Zhiyan was overjoyed.

At this moment, Ye Yuwan, who was in the audience, was stunned and tense; she had never seen Jiang Chen play the piano and couldn't help but worry as she grasped Jiang Chen's hand, "Jiang Chen, don't listen to her, you don't have to go up."

But Jiang Chen's expression remained calm, and he chuckled as he patted Ye Yuwan's hand, giving her a reassuring look before standing up and walking toward the stage.

When they saw Jiang Chen indeed getting up, many people were first taken aback, followed by the corners of their mouths curving into a schadenfreude smile.

"Haha... he's really going up!"

"This brother, so awesome! But, he's going to die a terrible death later!"

"For sure, daring to play the piano after the Piano Princess, he's a goner! Tsk tsk, I actually feel a bit sorry for him now!"

"Sorry my ass, he's an idiot!"

"Haha... Now this is going to be a good show! Remember, the louder we cheer now, the louder we should boo later!"

"That's right, lift him up high first, then bring him down with boos, hahaha."

These students with ulterior motives, each wearing a mocking and scornful expression, were all excited to see Jiang Chen embarrass himself in the next moment.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yunna on the stage also revealed a cold smirk:

"Very good, he actually came up. Then I'll take a good look from the stage later to see how you embarrass yourself!"

She was very confident in her piano skill and did not think Jiang Chen could play better than her. As long as Jiang Chen dared to play, she would have a reason to mock him and incidentally, slap Ye Yuwan's face, too.

Jiang Chen reached the stage and took the microphone from the smiling Xiao Yunna, gave her a glance, and turned to walk toward the piano.

Xiao Yunna's gaze followed Jiang Chen closely, not wanting to miss a moment of this man making a fool of himself. She wanted to see him all flustered and panic-stricken.

But soon after, her brows suddenly furrowed.

Because she saw a hint of a smile at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.

Yes, a smile!

That smile was so composed! So confident!

How is this possible?

How could he actually be confident?

No, it couldn't be possible! He must be reassuring himself!

It must be so!

Xiao Yunna comforted herself and forcefully suppressed the unease in her heart.

Jiang Chen had already reached the piano. He did not pay attention to anyone else, nor did he look at Xiao Yunna again; he simply lightly dusted the piano stool and then sat down slowly.

Everything he did was so graceful, so natural.

At this moment, the entire venue, because of Jiang Chen's graceful and natural movements, fell involuntarily silent, watching him intently.

All eyes were focused on Jiang Chen.

There was nervousness, appreciation, mockery, and disdain...

But no matter what, they were all watching, they all wanted to see carefully, just what kind of performance Jiang Chen would give!
