The next day.
Qiao Jing got up early to wash and get ready to go out.
"You're going to work so early today?" Zhan Qipei glanced at the current time, 7:30 AM.
Usually, Qiao Jing left the house at 7:50 AM.
"I'm attending a piano competition, so I'm heading over early," Qiao Jing said as she changed her shoes in the foyer. She was very punctual, especially for events like competitions, always arriving ahead of time.
Zhan Qipei was somewhat surprised, "You're participating in a piano competition? I had no idea you could play the piano."
He felt a sense of pride, but then something else came to mind, and he said with regret, "I have an important meeting today, so I regret that I can't accompany you. But I'll be cheering for you in my heart!"
He had heard about this significant piano competition, but hadn't paid special attention to it since he wasn't involved in the music world.
