When the song ended, many people around them applauded.
Only Jasper looked at the little boy suspiciously before walking up to him and asking, âWhy did you play badly on purpose when you can play very well?â
As soon as she said this, the other adults said, âLittle girl, the little boy played beautifully. Donât talk nonsense!â
âYeah, he played pretty well. This music score is difficult to play. Even someone who has been playing the piano for years can hardly play it well!â
âBut he made mistakes on purpose!â muttered Jasper as she gazed at the little boy, wanting to know why.
The little boy ignored what Jasper said and got down from the chair, planning to leave.
Jasper Reedâs little hand caught the little boyâs hand. âCould you play it again? Play it well, and donât make mistakes on purpose.â
The little boy scowled, planning to shake her hand away.
However, Jasper held a tight grip.
Grace saw this and was about to ask her daughter to let go when another small figure rushed toward Jasper and the little boy.
It was Oriel Lynch.
âJasper Reed, he played so well. Why did you say he played it badly? You just think youâre the best,â
said Oriel Lynch.
She hated having Jasper steal the spotlight. Besides, she had learned piano before. Her piano teacher had always complimented her on her performance!
However, she had only heard her teacher play the tune the boy played before. She had no idea how to play it!
Her teacher had also said that only those who had learned to play the piano for many years could play that piece well!
The boy must be a genius to play so well!
Oriel Lynch only spoke up to embarrass Jasper Reed.
âWanna, how could you say that about Jasper?â Irene Lynch walked up and asked her daughter. Then, she gave Grace and Jason an apologetic look. âThere must be a reason for Jasper to say that.â
âWhat reason can there be? Sheâs just simply saying it. If she has the skills, then she should play the some piece!â Oriel Lynch pouted and said, âSheâs criticizing others when she canât play the piece herself.â
âJasper, Iâm sorry. Oriel just thinks itâs wrong to criticize others at will. Donât mind her,â Irene Lynch said kindly, working hard to maintain her gentle image.
Jasper did not want to talk to Irene Lynch at all. She only turned to the little boy and said, âCan I point out your mistakes if I play the same piece?â
She looked at him. Her almond-shaped eyes were pure and innocent. The words she spoke were straightforward as well.
The little boy pressed his lips tightly together and said nothing.
âThen donât leave. Iâll play it for you,â said Jasper before letting go of his hand and walking toward the piano.
The onlookers around them could not help but say, âOh, do kids nowadays think if others can play a song like that, they can play it too?â
âDoes she think she can play it after a few days of piano lessons?â
