Chapter 90 : 088 King of Canon
"Children of just a few years old can perform so well; it makes me feel like I\'ve lived in vain."
"However, speaking of which, the pressure on the last one to perform is just too great!"
"Will Emperor Youyou continue to play the bowls this time?"
"It doesn\'t feel suitable to play the bowls at such a big event; that would be thinking too small."
"So, in the end, it can only come down to the drum set to decide the winner..."
"Come on, Emperor Youyou, show everyone the strength of your drum prodigy talent!"
"Alright, after enjoying the wonderful performances of the two challengers, next, our Moe King contest stage will welcome the last challenger."
"Like Nuo Nuo, he is also just a five-year-old kid and the youngest challenger in the history of the Moe King contest; at the same time, he is also a musical prodigy with Perfect Pitch, and his drum set skills can be said to be impeccable—"
"Alright, alright, no need to mention these things that everyone in Hua country knows." Gugu jumped up and said, "Hurry up and tell everyone who Youyou\'s partner is today!"
"Regarding Emperor Youyou\'s partner, I think it will be beyond everyone\'s imagination; I believe her arrival will bring a familiar yet new sensation!"
"Next, let\'s welcome—Fang You\'s performance!"
"Please—"
As the two hosts announced, a drum set appeared on the left side of the stage.
"It really is a drum set!"
"But why is it on that side, not in the middle..."
Following that was a piano, which was placed on the right side of the stage.
"...What, what is that? What\'s the meaning of placing that piano there!"
"Did Youyou invite a Piano Expert as a backup?"
When the host left the stage, Fang You, dressed in a glittering formal outfit with his thick bangs combed back, leaving only a curly fringe, stepped onto the stage with the air of a young artist.
"Wooah—wooah—"
"Youyou looks so cool! I can\'t handle it!"
"That outfit looks like it\'s meant for playing the piano, it\'s even a tailcoat; hard to imagine how he\'ll play the drum set..."
"Where\'s the partner? Where?"
At that moment, the stage suddenly dimmed, and the spotlight fell entirely on Fang You, with the big screen showing him turning to the side of the stage, extending his hand in an inviting gesture.
A hand reached up from below the stage, taking Fang You\'s hand.
This hand was small and tender, even smaller than Fang You\'s.
But by this time, the answer was almost shouting itself out.
"Hey hey... No way—"
"They\'re actually pulling this off—"
"Is this even allowed by the rules, or did the program team set it up specially?"
"They\'re really good at stunts!"
The partner Fang You invited on stage from one side was none other than Xia Nuo, who had just finished performing!
Xia Nuo, complementing Fang You\'s outfit, changed into a white formal dress, her princess gown sparkling like stars and reflecting off Fang You\'s glittering formal attire.
As Fang You and Xia Nuo moved together, the spotlight followed them both. Step by step, they walked to the center of the stage.
This live broadcast performance also stirred up a huge reaction across the Hua country\'s internet broadcasting platforms:
[Ahhh! What kind of dreamy scene is this!]
[#CheckNuoNuoDad\'sMentalState]
[Nuo Nuo can actually play the piano? I really didn\'t see that coming!]
[So is it Youyou on the drum set and Nuo Nuo on the piano? What sort of divine combination is this...]
[But, can a five-year-old really reach all the keys on such a big piano?]
[Hold on, there\'s a twist coming!]
The audience only noticed when Fang You, holding Xia Nuo\'s hand, slowly walked to the front of the piano; two small round stools were there at the piano!
[Here it comes! I knew Emperor Youyou\'s performance wouldn\'t be so simple—]
[Could it be that piece?]
Fang You and Xia Nuo took their seats on the round stools.
```
"You You."
"Hm?"
Fang You lifted his head and saw Xia Nuo gazing at him with a smile full of meaning.
Her eyes also twinkled with fascinating stars.
"I\'m going to start now..."
Xia Nuo spoke softly, "Good luck."
"Hm."
The children were already in position, with the entire audience holding their breath in focus.
Meanwhile, under the stage, a youth was watching the scene with a sense of regret.
He was the self-proclaimed biggest winner of the Moe King competition: Qu Mo!
Fang You, you truly are a disappointment.
When it comes to the final showdown, you still don\'t dare to face me in a drum battle.
You have always evaded the fate of battling the drum prodigy, which makes me feel an immense void and loneliness.
However, this also distinctly proves many people\'s point.
You, Fang You, simply can\'t play the drums!
[System prompt: The number of viewers paying attention to you at the scene has exceeded 1000 people, the trigger condition for the talent "Son of the Big Stage" has been met, and your abilities will receive a significant boost.]
Fang You didn\'t feel any particular change in his body, but inside the massive Yingdu Dome Stadium, filled with tens of thousands of people, his heart felt an unprecedented serenity.
The talent that was currently taking effect might be [Absolute Focus], or maybe something else.
But it doesn\'t matter.
He came here to dominate this place.
The weapons he carried on his person were limitless.
That\'s the confidence of the Great Emperor!
Xia Nuo extended her hands and gently pressed a few keys on the piano, producing a lingering and melodious sound.
After the classic intro started playing, the entire audience knew what piano piece Fang You and Xia Nuo were about to perform.
It was the enduring classic "Canon in D"!
[I can\'t believe it\'s this piece... Honestly, hearing it\'s "Canon" actually relieves me.]
[I think the same. After all, kids shouldn\'t be too astonishing; too much so makes my existence feel quite void.]
[What are you saying, are you belittling the substance of "Canon"?]
[With their way of playing, what\'s coming next is what truly will amaze you!]
Xia Nuo\'s "Canon" performance was the most common, not so striking.
But soon, as Fang You\'s hands reached for the piano, everyone quickly realized what was about to happen—
It was a "Canon" four-hand duet!
The mellow solo "Canon in D" transformed into a sophisticated and layered melody with Fang You\'s involvement.
Fang You\'s hands moved in concert with Xia Nuo\'s on the piano; they approached, then parted, again and again, intersecting at last—Fang You\'s left hand and Xia Nuo\'s right hand weaved through the music, only to separate once more.
And the audience, immersed in this exquisitely beautiful melody, watched the seamless pair on the big screen, enraptured, unable to extricate themselves—
[Do you think you are listening to music? Actually, you are listening to music and eating dog food.]
[I\'m already imagining them walking towards the wedding hall together.]
[Playing a "Canon" duet with a boy you like is truly the most romantic thing in the world.]
[I\'m reminded of the girl who listened to me play "Canon," sniffle...]
Initially, Fang You wasn\'t very confident Xia Nuo could coordinate well with him for a four-hand duet, so he assigned the more difficult parts of the performance, including the finger crossovers, to himself.
But as their practice deepened, their coordination gradually became smoother, and he slowly began to recall many things from his memory—
The girl beside him, as long as she took something seriously, seemed to always do it very well.
She had all the endearing qualities of a child her age but none of the annoying capriciousness or petulance.
Thinking about it, aside from the Reincarnator\'s experience and system cheats, this girl, born on the same year, month, and day as himself, was also one of his strongest weapons.
However, if one assumed that Emperor Youyou\'s performance was only about the "Canon" four-hand duet, they would be greatly mistaken!
The grand opening of "Canon Fantasia" prepared by [King of Canon] Emperor Youyou had only just begun—
