Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1338, the second movement of the reunion: Black and White [Part 2]

Chapter 1338, Section 558: The Second Movement of the Reunion: Black and White [Part 2]

Unlike the beginning of the first movement.

When Ang Lee announced the start of the second movement, the atmosphere became less playful and more solemn, like that of a competition.

The six starters remained somewhat silent, as if they were still immersed in the tactical simulation they had just performed.

They walked to the center of the hall without exchanging a single word or joke.

"relax."

Li An approached the six people with a light smile.

He took the formation cards handed to him by the six people, glanced at them briefly, and smiled to himself.

"Should Group Two switch positions in this round?"

"use."

Before Liu Ziqian could finish speaking, all eyes were on him.

Some teams guessed that Group 2 would use its privilege in the first round, because if Group 2 didn't use its privilege, it would be last in the baton according to the draw order.

Taking over at the end of the season means bearing the greatest pressure.

Ang Lee: "Please select your starting position."

Just when most people at the scene thought that Group Two should choose the first position to start, Liu Ziqian gave an answer that puzzled everyone.

"Third place."

The third one? A commotion arose.

Why is he third? Wang Xiaohu and Xiao Che in the hostage area couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"Okay, the order of the savior relay for this round is: Group 3, Group 4, Group 2, Group 1, Group 6, Group 5."

"Please have the six rescuers come to the safe zone and form a circle in order."

As he spoke, Li An raised his hand to signal to Mu Xin on the sidelines.

Mu Xin carried the prepared rectangular tray to the dark danger zone and distributed a piece of paper and a pen to each group of hostages.

"Hostages can keep track of rhythm?!"

Mu Xin nodded and emphasized, "The hostages need to memorize the rhythm during the self-rescue singing segment."

Singing from memory is fine too! The children in the audience breathed a sigh of relief!

At least you can write it down before memorizing it; as the saying goes, seeing it a thousand times is not as good as doing it once.

This greatly reduces the difficulty of being a hostage!

Grandpa Tang: "That's much fairer."

Boss X: "Yes, otherwise it would be a bit harsh on children who are still at a low level."

Wang Han: "The game experience is still lacking."

Grandpa Tang: "But doesn't this disrupt the little guys' formation?"

Boss X laughed: "Ang Lee likes to do this kind of thing."

As several teachers off the field said, the expressions of the team captains changed to varying degrees at this moment.

In the second hostage area, DouDou asked Marco in a low voice with some concern, "Will our tactics still work?"

Marco sighed slightly: "Let's see the results of the first round. The battlefield for the first round is not in the hostage area."

As he spoke, Marco's gaze fell once again on the six figures in the safe zone.

From left to right: Xiao Jingchen, Fu Yu, Liu Ziqian, Miao Hengrui, Ruby, and Tang Xiaoxing.

Almost exactly as Marco had predicted, each group fielded their ace player in the first round.

The only thing he hadn't expected was that Group Four hadn't sent their best drivers. If they could take out all the teams' ace drivers in the first round, they would have a better chance later on.

DouDou: "But you're already very good at it, guessing that Group Five would definitely send Tang Xiaoxing."

Marco: "The first round is the most important. If Group Five wants to win, they will definitely send out Xiao Xing in the first round. Just watch, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the first hostage to be eliminated will definitely be from Group Three."

Before DouDou could react, Teacher Li An had already walked to the piano in the center of the hall under everyone's gaze.

The scene fell silent instantly.

"Get into your positions. The first person to start may begin at any section."

After speaking, Ang Lee placed the microphone on the music stand, then raised his hand and began to play.

"Clang clang clang!"

Facing Lao Tang's live stream camera, he stylishly played a melody that left everyone with a big question mark on their faces.

[Zhang Pangzi isn't fat: No wonder he's Teacher Li]

The audience was also confused. Was Teacher Li playing "Two Tigers"?
The simple, almost incomprehensible, cheerful melody immediately lightened the atmosphere in the hall.

However, the players in the safe zone dared not be careless at all.

4/2 time!
The moment the piano music began, the melody appeared before the six people as if it were a handwritten formula.

Meanwhile, the six pens in the hostage area were also gripped tightly, and the main hostages, including Xiao Che Wang, Xiao Hu, Qiao Zhizhi, Wang Qingfeng, and Ruby, entered a highly concentrated state.

Everyone's attention has now turned to Xiao Jingchen.

Because he was the first to join the chain.

“da-da-dadada!”

At the fourth measure of the music, Xiao Jingchen sang out his rhythm smoothly.

The teachers' hearts skipped a beat when they heard this rhythm.

Boss X: "This kid is ruthless."

Wang Han: "A large triple combo nested within a small triple combo."

Huang Chuxian: "It's not easy to sing."

At the same time, the audience was stunned, because only a few people could recognize the rhythm pattern, while the rest did not know what rhythm it was, and some even thought that Xiao Jingchen sang it wrong.

For most children, it is already difficult to sing three notes of equal value within two beats. Xiao Jingchen has further divided the third note into three notes, making it nearly a professional level in difficulty.

Xiao Che held the pen, his worried gaze falling directly on Fu Yu, the second runner.

Fu Yu had thought that Xiao Jingchen might set a trap for him, but he didn't expect the trap to be so big.

Fu Yu almost didn't react, but fortunately, he managed to analyze the last three "da"s while imitating the singing.

"da-da-dadada, da——da-da"

After Fu Yu finished singing, the audience was completely bewildered, as if they were listening to gibberish.

Liu Ziqian took it: "da-da-dadada, da——da-da, dada-dada-da-"

Just then, the melody of the two tigers in the sky above the hall changed, but it seemed that not many people noticed.

The car glanced in the direction of the piano.

Miao Hengrui took it: "da-da-dadada, da——da-da, dada-dada-da"

At this moment, some teachers were having a hard time hearing it. Boss X chuckled to himself, thinking that these few kids were probably the ones to blame, as none of them were easy to deal with.

Old Tang's live stream camera was already pointed at Ruby, the fifth person to take over.

Ruby steeled himself; his palms were already sweating despite his initial intention to go easy on Ruby: "da-da-dadada, da—da-da, dada-dada-dadada."

As Ruby added another complex rhythm at the end, all eyes turned to Tang Xiaoxing, who was taking the baton last.

Wang Xiaohu was prepared for one of the five hostages to be eliminated.

Not only Wang Xiaohu, but even Grandpa Tang felt that his granddaughter might not be able to completely reproduce the rhythm of the first five sections.

It's really too complicated.

From the very first section, it was destined that this round of battle would only have six players in the relay.

However, Tang Xiaoxing merely smiled slightly and began to repeat herself like a broken record, "da-da-dadada, da——da-da, dada-dada-dadadadandandan-da-da-"

Awesome!
All five members were about to go crazy at this moment!
The live stream chat exploded!
The teachers who were watching were dumbfounded!
How could they possibly continue?! Sun Liwen and Wang Han bluntly stated that they couldn't continue this round, as Ruby, the fifth player, had already killed the game.

No one could possibly memorize such a complex five-bar rhythm in such a short time.

No wonder she's the granddaughter of the Tang family.
As Tang Xiaoxing finished singing the rhythm, and everyone's attention returned to Xiao Jingchen, Xiao Jingchen suddenly stuttered after singing the fifth verse.

Then she stopped singing.

The game was forced to stop.

"Feel sorry."

Xiao Jingchen looked in the direction of the three groups of hostages with shame, as he had failed to sing the rhythm that Tang Xiaoxing had sung at the end.

Zhou Muyan from the third group voluntarily squatted down with a smile, saying, "Go, Lao Xiao! You're the best."

Crouching down means losing the chance to save yourself in this round and deducting two points.

The game continued, and everyone's attention returned to Tang Xiaoxing, who then sang the same rhythm again.

Who would have thought that the first team to be eliminated due to a hostage situation in the first round would be the first three teams in the first round?

DouDou then realized why Marco had chosen the third pick in this round. If they had chosen the first pick, one of their group members would probably be eliminated now.

"Xiao Xing is so scary," Dou Dou murmured. Marco thought to himself, Xiao Xing's competitive spirit is no less than Wang Xiaohu's in his eyes.

DouDou: "Did you already guess that this round would be like this?"

Marco: "Pretty much, so there's no other way this round but to let the captain go. If any of the rest of us go, we'll all be eliminated in a row."

next door.

Ah Liu sighed softly, "No wonder everyone can only take on the dragon once, otherwise this game would be unplayable."

As Tang Xiaoxing spoke again, the audience quieted down. It wasn't that they didn't want to participate, but it seemed that they had been disqualified from even participating from the sidelines.

Xiao Che followed Tang Xiaoxing's chorus and checked the rhythm of the six bars he had written; there were no problems.

Just after Xiao Jingchen finished singing along, Fu Yu made a mistake, and the game paused again.

"One hostage is eliminated from the four groups."

Standing next to the car, Ma Wenqi squatted down and said, "Sister Che Lin, you guys keep going! Even if you give me the sheet music, I still can't sing it."

Ma Wenqi's words were like a small thorn pricking Xiao Che's palm, making her feel numb.

"One hostage is eliminated per group."

The melody of "Two Tigers" continued to resonate in everyone's ears in variations.

"One hostage was eliminated from the six groups."

"One hostage is eliminated from the three groups."

"One hostage has been eliminated from the second group."

"One hostage is eliminated from the four groups."

Gradually, as more and more people crouched down in the danger zone, Xiao Che looked at the sheet music in his hand with some sadness.

She looked in Wang Xiaohu's direction, but saw that Wang Xiaohu did not have a happy expression on his face.

At this point in the first round of the game, only Tang Xiaoxing remained standing in the safe zone like a broken record, without making a single mistake.

In other words, if the current trend continues, Group 5 should win the first round and take first place in the next round, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The current scene will definitely not repeat itself in the next two rounds, because such a situation can only occur if every participant in the relay has sufficient strength. At this moment, those people in the safe zone can only be taken hostage in the next two rounds.

Therefore, the order of appearance in the next round will become extremely important.

Tang Xiaoxing's victory in this round gives him a significant advantage in the next round, but why does Wang Xiaohu also seem to be in low spirits?
Just then, "One hostage was eliminated from the third group."

"First round of the game is over."

Upon hearing this, Ang Lee stopped playing, stood up, and picked up the microphone from the piano.

"Let's appoint the results."

"All three groups of hostages have been eliminated, deducting six points."

Xiao Jingchen was so ashamed that he didn't know what to say. As the team captain, he hadn't even managed to keep the team's ranking in the middle.

"Two hostages were eliminated in one group, deduct four points."

Miao Hengrui felt both helpless and somewhat fortunate, as the song became increasingly difficult as the background music's rhythm became more and more complex.

If Xiao Jingchen hadn't faltered this round, they probably would have been in the same group.

"Two hostages were eliminated from the four groups, deducting four points."

Fu Yu shrugged. He had done his best, but he didn't regret leaving Che Lin behind.

At least they weren't last place. Except for Group 6, the strong contestants in each group were no longer able to go on stage.

Che Lin can kill the game in the next round.

"Groups 2 and 6 each eliminated one hostage, deducting two points."

Finally, everyone's eyes turned to Tang Xiaoxing again.

"All five groups of hostages survived; no points will be deducted."

The first round rankings are now clear.

After speaking, Ang Lee led the applause for the six people who participated in the first round of the relay.

"Wow!"

"outstanding."

Ang Lee walked up to the six people with the microphone in hand and smiled, saying, "You have already mastered the most complex rhythms in classical music."

"You have a great sense of rhythm and memory, but unfortunately, no hostages were able to rescue themselves in this round of the game."

As Li An finished speaking, Tang Xiaoxing and the others were taken aback.

They seemed to only then realize that they were the saviors.

While they were digging their own graves, they overlooked the fact that their teammates might also be unable to complete the melody they were singing.

Then they remembered that before the competition started, Teacher Mu Xin had provided paper and pens for the hostages.

"Next round."

The scene became lively again.

Ang Lee put down the microphone and asked with a laugh in a voice that only a few people could hear, "How many variations did I play just now?"

After saying that, he walked back towards the piano.

The group of six looked at each other in bewilderment. None of them had noticed the variations that Teacher Li had made during his performance.

“You guys are already great.” Ruby, being an adult, immediately understood what Ang Lee meant, or rather, she understood the purpose of the game’s design.

“We may have focused only on the beat and ignored the music.”

The five children fell into deep thought again.

Even from afar, Senior Sister Ji was quite moved by the teacher's good intentions.

In this game, the beat represents victory or defeat, but is music that only has a beat still music?
The teacher played six variations in total, which was just enough to accommodate the six teams.

Marco: "Hey."

DouDou: "What's wrong?"

Marco: "Do you know why we like our teacher so much?"

DouDou: "Huh?"

Marco shook his head, then smiled and said, "The plan might change. I'll have you explain to the captain in a bit. It's my turn to go on."

As Marco stepped forward, the six players in the second round of the relay also arrived at the safe zone one after another.

According to the ranking order of the first round, they are: Wang Xiaohu from Group 5, Ma Ke from Group 2, Sister Xiao Ji from Group 6, Xiao Bei from Group 1, Xiao Che from Group 4, and Qiao Zhizhi from Group 3.

The six fellow students formed a circle, each with an irrepressible smile on their face.

Senior Sister Ji suddenly smiled and said in a voice that only the six of them could hear, "I have a suggestion: no matter which group wins first place, how about we share the information about the third round of the game?"

The five children finally laughed.

Wang Xiaohu: "Ahem, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Car: "Tch~"

Wang Xiaohu: "Really!"

"when!"

Just then, as the piano music started again, the hall seemed to be enveloped in pink bubbles.

The melody of a dreamy waltz, stepping to a unique three-beat rhythm, slowly descended from mid-air.

“da-da-da”

Wang Xiaohu sang along to the rhythm of the music, gently singing out the first set of rhythms.

Tang Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It seems she did something wrong.

But her friends are trying to make amends for her mistake.
