This sentence is obviously also directed at Mao Weiang beside him.
Although it wasn't spoken directly, Mao Weiang quickly waved his hand upon hearing it, approached Bai Xi, and said seriously,
"No, Bai Xi, your cello is equally excellent. The championship is still undecided. If you get discouraged now, all your effort would be wasted."
Seeing the earnest Mao Weiang, Bai Xi burst into laughter.
"No need to comfort me, the difference in skill is apparent—don't worry, I wasn't set on winning the championship anyway."
Bai Xi said with a smile, "I have always just been playing for a perfect version of 'myself', and reaching the Dragon Violin Cup finals is satisfying enough for me."
For the sake of a "perfect" self?
Mao Weiang had never heard such a statement before and was somewhat surprised.
"But, I truly envy you all. Back then, I wanted Mr. Lin Tian to listen to my performance and give me some guidance, but he just wouldn't agree no matter what."
