Chapter 978 - A Battle of Psychology and Willpower
The atmosphere in the room was just right and the singer on the stage was singing a famous opera tune called “Peony Pavilion”. The main instruments used to play the song were flutes, bagpipes, Chinese oboes, and Chinese lutes.
Upon hearing the ancient verse, Wen Xinya instinctively gripped the chess piece tightly and placed close attention to the melody.
Si Yiyan seemed to be trying to prove that he truly knew how to appreciate theatrics and opera. “This singer is trying to mimic the singing style of the famous Kunqu Opera singer, Wang Jin. He has a lively voice that encapsulates the refined elements of the arts.”
Wen Xinya winked at him and said, “Actually, I don’t understand it.”
The only line of the entire song that she could understand was also the most beautiful one—”Your classic beauty that transcends time.”
Noticing that she was smiling, Si Yiyan was reminded of the words that he had said to her previously. He subconsciously neglected the fact that she actually did not know how to appreciate opera at all. At this moment, her behavior did seem a little fake.
Wen Xinya paid attention to the game while Si Yiyan began talking to her about Kunqu Opera, from its origin to its peak…
Wen Xinya would occasionally get distracted and ask him some questions.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Duke Moville, why do you seem to be stuck in a dilemma?”
She was merely trying to mock Duke Moville for being indecisive and was also trying to say that he would definitely lose because the battle of psychology and willpower was the key deciding factor.
