Chapter 55 Katherine is just like that
Katherine was drinking a glass of juice and looking at Yeager. "Your original song, can't you play it yourself?"
Yeager's smile bloomed like a flower. "Of course, I can play and sing this song. But that would be too monotonous. My classmates all say they want to see me sing and dance at the same time!"
At this point, she turned to the surrounding classmates and asked, "Don't you think so?"
Several male classmates nearby nodded repeatedly at the thought of a beautiful girl singing and dancing.
"Yeah, we haven't seen Yeager dance yet!"
"I heard Yeager used to learn ballet. She must be beautiful when she dances!"
"After today's graduation party, we might not have a chance to meet again. If we can end our university life with Yeager's song and dance, it would be truly fulfilling!"
"Yes, I'm also looking forward to seeing Yeager dance!"
Yeager expected the support of the male students and looked at Katherine with a smile. "Katherine, look at how enthusiastic everyone is. Since they want to see you dance, why not accompany me on the piano for this song?"
Katherine took a sip of her juice. "They want to see you dance, not watch me play the piano. Why do I have to accompany you?"
Upon being rejected, Yeager immediately looked disappointed. "Um... Katherine, are you unwilling to help me? You've been so generous today in treating everyone at the gathering. I thought you would be willing to help me with something as small as playing the accompaniment for the song."
Was she implying that Katherine was being stingy if she didn't accompany her?
Katherine smiled. "Yeager, if I remember correctly, you are in the music department yourself. And there are quite a few people from the music department here at the gathering today. It should be easy for you to find someone who can play the guitar. Why do you insist on asking me? We don't seem to be that familiar, right?"
Yeager hesitated and said, "Um... because..."
At that moment, a few well-dressed girls walked to the front and said, "Because both of you are the school queens of our university! If the two school queens collaborate on a performance, it will definitely be more eye-catching than others!"
"Yes, Katherine, just cooperate with Yeager this once! Consider it as fulfilling the expectations of all our classmates in this graduating class!"
"Our university life is coming to an end today. If we can see the two school queens collaborate, it will be a wonderful memory for the future, too!"
These girls were all Yeager's close friends. They came over to support Yeager, and the other students joined in the excitement.
Katherine was instantly surrounded by the expectant gazes of her classmates...
She really had no interest in performing in front of so many people.
However, during her sophomore year, she had once played the guitar on stage at the university celebration. If she now claimed she couldn't play, it would be hard to convince anyone.
At this moment, she felt compelled to accept Yeager's proposal.
"Alright then."
Katherine stood up and took Yeager's instrument case, saying lightly, "But I'm not a professional. If I don't play well, please don't mind."
"How could that be!"
"That's right! We won't mind!"
"Katherine is just being modest!"
Having achieved her goal, Yeager smiled triumphantly...
The private room in this party house was large, specifically designed for gatherings, and each room was divided into two floors.
The first floor mainly had entertainment facilities such as pool tables, poker tables, board games, and video game consoles.
The second floor, on the other hand, was a more leisurely area with a study room, a home theater, and a beautifully decorated terrace.
On the terrace, there were two artificial cherry blossom trees and some green plants. Below the cherry blossom trees was a small stage for customers to perform.
Due to poor sound insulation downstairs, the environment was quite noisy, and even with the music turned off, the noise from the adjacent private rooms could still be heard. Therefore, the students suggested that the two school queens should perform on the terrace upstairs.
When they arrived upstairs, Yeager handed the music sheet to Katherine, her smile still bright and friendly. "Katherine, here! This is my original music sheet. I believe you can play it!"
Katherine took it and looked at the sheet music Yeager had written. The piece was well composed, but it wasn't an easy one to play. Someone without a solid foundation would find it challenging to play the piece smoothly...
Yeager noticed that Katherine seemed to be troubled by the sheet music. Despite feeling proud, she pretended to be concerned and said, "Katherine, what's wrong? Is there a problem? Is the music sheet too difficult for you?"
Katherine looked up at her and then back at the sheet music, sighing. "This piece is indeed difficult, but I'll give it a try. I'll do my best to accompany you well."
Yeager smiled on the surface but felt disdainful inside.
With Katherine's amateur skills, how dare she say she would try her best to play this piece? She was clearly overestimating herself!
She had devoted a year to composing this piece, incorporating all the skills she had learned throughout her life. Even she herself might not be able to play the piece perfectly, let alone an amateur guitarist like Katherine!
And she wanted to see Katherine make a fool of herself in front of everyone!
Katherine had stolen the spotlight with her reputation as a straight-A student. On the last day of their university graduation, she was determined to make Katherine lose face!
She wanted all their classmates to know that Katherine's straight-A student title was just a facade. In terms of talent and charm, Katherine was no match for her!
Ten minutes later, Yeager pulled Katherine onto the small stage on the terrace, ready to start their performance for the classmates...
Katherine found a seat and took out her instrument, preparing to accompany her.
However, when she opened the guitar case given by Yeager, her expression froze, and she furrowed her brows.
Seeing that Katherine had not started playing, Yeager turned around, looking concerned. "Katherine, what's wrong? Are you not ready yet?"
Katherine looked up at her and said, "Come and see for yourself."
Yeager walked over and pretended to be surprised. "Oh my! I'm so sorry! It seems I accidentally put the violin in the guitar case!"
At this point, my classmates were getting impatient...
"Why haven't the two school queens started yet?"
"Yeah! We've been waiting for a long time!"
"The instruments are all the same anyway. It doesn't matter what instrument is played, as long as there's music!"
Someone in the audience shouted. Yeager echoed, "Katherine, they're right. You can play the guitar sheet music on the violin. Why don't you give it a try?"
Katherine looked at the sly and provocative expression on Yeager's face and was certain that she had intentionally switched the instruments.
Yeager asked again, "Katherine, you do know how to play the violin, right?"
Katherine remained silent.
Yeager quickly apologized with an innocent look, "Um... my mistake! I thought someone as talented as Katherine, a straight-A student, would at least know how to play a few classical instruments. It seems I misunderstood!"
In the audience, Yeager's friends started to taunt. They smirked and mocked Katherine...
"Katherine, if you can't play the violin, just come down! Let Yeager play and sing on her own. Don't ruin the song she worked so hard on!"
"That's right! Come down quickly! Don't waste any more time. We want to see Yeager perform!"
"I thought Katherine, the legendary straight-A student, could do everything! It seems she's just a name without real talent!"
