Sweet Time Only for You: The Entanglement between Mr. Lu and Miss Song-Chapter 204: Performance Interrupted by Judge
On the stage, Song Dabai, wearing a tuxedo, walked over to the bedroom piano.
He first stood still, then bowed his head and gave a ninety-degree bow to the audience below.
Then, he turned around and sat at the piano.
Song Dabai was playing a piece by Mozart, the "Turkish March".
This piece is in a rondo style. The beginning features a series of fast-moving sixteenth notes, requiring the performer to have strong control.
His fingers moved smoothly and cleanly, each sound controlled as clearly as pearls. Song Dabai’s greatest strength was his incredibly nimble fingers; this scale-like movement was child’s play for him.
Additionally, his strong desire to perform quickly captured people’s attention.
Following that were the powerful and vigorous octaves. The so-called octaves are where the fingers span eight keys, with the thumb and little finger striking the keys simultaneously, producing a sound with a strong sense of granularity...
This is the most difficult part because even playing octaves is challenging for ordinary adults, let alone the fact that Song Dabai was just a child not yet five years old.
However, he completed it beautifully.
Everyone stared at Song Dabai on stage, dumbfounded.
He performed so well, astonishing everyone.
Even on the live broadcast platforms, the internet users were abuzz with excitement, leaving numerous enthusiastic comments—
User ’Firefly’: [Oh my god, he must be reincarnated!!!]
User ’Mini Mr.’: [Amazing, an extraordinary prodigy!]
User ’Crazy Fan’: [So incredible, a genius! So composed, masterful technique, a celestial performance. I’m just wondering what we were doing as kids? Besides eating and playing~]
User ’Searching Plum Blossoms in the Snow’: [Young in age, but great in skill! Super impressive!]
User ’THEsun’: [Born for music!]
User ’J31 VTOL’: [Proof of a genius reborn! I really wish I could be there, I want a photo with him!]
User ’Xuaner5’: [This little boy’s a genius; put him before a piano and he’ll start playing without realizing it! Man and piano unified!]
User ’haerbin’: [Genius! Genius! Genius! Say important things three times.]
User ’Gardenia’: [He’s the second Mozart!]
...
However, just as everyone was immersed in Song Dabai’s piano sound, a sudden noise interrupted his performance.
Bang, bang, bang—
It was a crisp sound akin to a stick striking a table.
Sudden and forceful.
Then, a woman’s voice came from the microphone: "Stop! Stop! Stop! Contestant Song Dabai, you can end your performance now."
The audience below was in an uproar, many looked around confusedly, not understanding why such a brilliant performance was interrupted.
Only to see Hao Min, from the head judge’s seat, holding the microphone and standing up.
"The following contestants, please take note, the duration of the competition pieces must not exceed five minutes. If the time exceeds, three points will be deducted."
The audience exploded.
"No way? Just because the time exceeded a little, interrupting such a brilliant performance is too much of a pity."
"This kid clearly performed the best in this group, why should he lose points? It’s too unfair."
"Exactly, isn’t this rule too rigid? To lose three points like this is not worth it!"
Hearing about the three-point deduction, Song Dabai also felt wronged and disappointed. His eyes reddened, and his little mouth pursed as he sulked.
