The Actor and His Three and Half Years Old Sister - Chapter 28.4

In the barrage section, upon witnessing Chu Xiaoyi’s childish behavior, there was an instant eruption of furious criticism, flooding the screen with comments like “Please act your age,” “Confirmed: CXY isn’t even three years old yet,” “Black Cat: Even though I’m not human, you’re really a dog,” “Playing the piano with your feet at home, you might end up with a broken leg,” and other remarks, all defending Liang Shuangqi.

Liang Shuangqi calmly glanced at the chair, unaffected, and said, “B.”

Chu Xiaoyi hadn’t anticipated a response from him. His legs were still propped on the edge of the chair, and before he could put them down, he impulsively kicked a bit further away.

Liang Shuangqi tilted his head, listening attentively, and replied, “B Minor.”

Chu Xiaoyi stared at him in shock, finding himself speechless, “…”

Liang Shuangqi tilted his head to the side, objectively commenting, “Brother, your chair is more in tune than your playing.”

[A jaw-dropping face-slapping scene! Chu Xiaoyi didn’t just kick the chair, he kicked an iron plate*!]

*T/N: Kicked a hard wall (Faced a setback)

[The younger brother is way too cool. Auntie can wait for you for another fifteen years, but any longer won’t work anymore. [ok]]

[As a fan, I suddenly feel that my beloved idol’s face is tasteless compared to my younger brother’s musical talent. [doge]]

[George truly is George. Who could have thought that his musical dream would be strangled by an airdropped little boy? Thanks to Qiqi for enlightening us all!]

[Xiaoxiao is like an empress in the palace, sitting on the couch, unable to understand this jealous scene, only cuddling the cat empress for enjoyment. [doge]]

Chu Xiaoxiao had no understanding of music. She couldn’t decipher the silent riddle between Liang Shuangqi and Chu Xiaoyi, and asked in confusion, “What are you guys doing?”

Chu Xiaoyi looks at the refined young boy before him, a spark of realization lighting up his mind, exclaiming, “You have perfect pitch!?”

Perfect pitch was a gift that ordinary people who studied music envied the most. It meant that the person could discern the exact pitch of a sound without needing a reference note, and they could distinguish all the sounds of the natural world from noise.

While regular people might rely on a reference note and a tuner, those with perfect pitch skip this step, reducing a lot of work.

In Liang Shuangqi’s ears, the sound of a gentle breeze was D, the sound of a sneeze was a G; and everything corresponded accurately. Of course, he also had worries that others don’t, as he couldn’t tolerate out-of-tune sounds. Hearing them made him feel agitated and frustrated, like Chu Xiaoyi’s old guitar, for example.

As a person who studied music, Chu Xiaoyi naturally understood that such geniuses exist in the world. While Liang Shuangqi might not have exceptionally high IQ or EQ, he’s an absolute prodigy in the field of music, possessing skills that many musicians could only dream of.

Chu Xiaoyi instantly set aside their previous banter, filled with a deep sense of appreciation for talent.

Excitedly, he says, “You really should focus on music. You have a talent for it!”

Although his younger sister was also a naturally gifted prodigy, she clearly lacked the linguistic proficiency to be as awed by Liang Shuangqi’s abilities.

One can only truly appreciate the preciousness and excellence of a genius in a certain field when they have a thorough understanding of it. Chu Xiaoxiao’s expertise lies too far from Chu Xiaoyi’s realm, leaving him befuddled and confused.

Liang Shuangqi, a follower of Jack Ma, didn’t seem pleased by Chu Xiaoyi’s words. Instead, his expression darkened.

He retorted stiffly, “Talents are meant to be wasted.”

Liang Shuangqi picked up and tapped the glass on the table. He then turned his gaze towards Chu Xiaoyi, blinking as he asked, “Brother, what sound is this?”

“…”

Well, young man, it seems you’re really determined to be Xiaoxiao’s brother today, huh?

“It’s over, it’s over. Does that mean there won’t be CXY in the next episode, only Brother Qiqi? Then I can only regretfully inform the production team… That I’m fine with it! I really am! Let’s immediately switch to a new resident star!”

“CXY was squeezed out of the entertainment industry by countless young actors, and now back home, strangely enough, was being pushed around by a youngster, haha. Other celebrities’ popularity can’t even compare to that of a child [doge].”

“Alright, hurry back inside and pack your bags. Take your guitar and go be a son at your brother’s place.”

Chu Xiaoyi was currently in a dilemma. He had no idea what sound a glass made and he didn’t possess perfect pitch.

Just at this moment, a loud unfamiliar voice suddenly came from outside the small courtyard, “Liang Shuangqi! Liang Shuangqi!”

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the big black cat abruptly stood up from Chu Xiaoxiao’s embrace, swiftly leaping off the couch, and ran to a corner, searching for its leash.

Chu Xiaoxiao was taken aback, saying, “Liang Site…”

Liang Shuangqi seemed to understand something, saying, “My dad’s here.”

Liang Chen stood outside the yard, hands on hips, and shouted with a confident air, “Alright, come back with me. Your mom won’t scold you anymore!”

Chu Xiaoyi secretly admired how well the mischievous child’s parent arrived just in time, instantly saving him from a tricky situation and sparing him from the potential blow of having a mistaken identity.

He glanced at Liang Chen outside the yard and felt an inexplicable fondness for the man who almost became his unexpected father, only lamenting that he hadn’t come sooner.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Liang Shuangqi, who was changing his shoes, and said kindly, “Big Brother Qiqi, Liang Site, you’re welcome to come play at our house again.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoyi silently added two words at the end of his sister’s farewell statement in his heart.

Yeah, right.

Liang Chen chimed in, “If we’re causing you trouble, you’re also welcome to come play at our house! We live in Building E!”

Liang Chen couldn’t figure out why his son kept running over here. He speculated that Liang Shuangqi might not have known anyone else in the neighborhood, which was why he kept seeking out Chu Xiaoxiao.

Liang Shuangqi still harbored a grudge for losing his position as “Xiaoxiao’s brother.” He felt he was just one step away from victory, but his father’s sudden appearance ruined his plan. If he had succeeded just now, he could have stayed here and continued to play with Chu Xiaoxiao.

Liang Shuangqi couldn’t hide his disappointment on his face. He waved goodbye to Chu Xiaoxiao and said, “Xiaoxiao, goodbye!”

He then looked at Chu Xiaoyi with a touch of melancholy and recited a classic line from Grey Wolf, implying, “Brother, I will definitely come back.”

Liang Chen couldn’t help but want to give his son a scolding on the spot, angrily saying, “You’re not allowed to mimic lines from cartoons all the time!”

“…”

Just where did you come from, you little troublemaking antagonist?
