"Let's begin the session." Tian Kai said as he walked up to Tan Songyun before taking a seat right in front of her.

"Play me one song. It doesn't matter which one."

Tan Songyun nodded and randomly picked one of the songs she would play to the public.

Tian Kai closed his eyes and listened in silence.

Several minutes later, she asked him, "How was it?"

Tian Kai opened his eyes and released a deep sigh, "Unbelievable. How did you manage to worsen your skills since your performance several weeks ago?"

"W-What? It's worse?" Tan Songyun was speechless.

"Play me a different song," Tian Kai requested a moment later.

"Okay..." Tan Songyun proceeded to play a second song. This time, she selected a piece she was particularly confident in.

However, Tian Kai's cristim only worsened, "It's even worse than your last song! Good heavens, your talents are backwards!"

"..."

Tan Songyun was beginning to wonder if he was merely messing with her.

She frowned and said, "What am I doing wrong? Can you at least tell me that?"

Tian Kai didn't answer her question and instead said, "Play the song again. I'll show you."

'Is he doing this so he could experience my performance for free?' she wondered inwardly as she played the same song again.
