Translator: 549690339
Qin Continent takes music copyrights very seriously. As long as Lin Yuan uploads his songs to the company, he needn’t worry about any twist and turns.
Day two.
Lin Yuan resud his regular campus life.
But the music composition departnt only had one class that morning. After class finished, most students went back to their dorms to play gas since it was still early.
Lin Yuan did not plan to go back.
With the pressure of exams gone, he still seed attentive in class, but now that his free ti has been freed up, he wouldn’t waste it in the dorm.
So, how should he spend his free ti?
Lin Yuan sent a ssage to Jian Yi and Xia Fan, inviting them out. But both of them declined—
They still had classes.
Although they all attended the sa university and have been close friends since childhood, they hardly saw each other due to different majors.
Lin Yuan was not disappointed.
Because he thought of sothing to do.
That is, playing the piano in the practice room.
The System awarded Lin Yuan with professional-level piano skills, but he hadn’t tried them out yet.
The score for “Big Fish” was based largely around the piano. Lin Yuan wanted to test his piano skills now, and if they were up to scratch, he would even consider completing the piano part of the arrangent by himself.
…
Ten minutes later.
Lin Yuan arrived at the piano room.
Qin Continent Art Academy places great emphasis on developing musical talents, so nurous public piano rooms are available to students. Each room has pianos of different brands. There are grand and upright pianos, all choices that maximize freedom of choice for the students.
This was very convenient for Lin Yuan.
Most students were in class at this ti, so many piano rooms were empty, providing him with plenty of choices.
Walking down the long corridor of the piano room,
Lin Yuan found the one he was interested in at the very end.
It’s a typical upright piano with elegant keys, a beautiful white laquered finish, and streamlined design. It was clearly a notch above the pianos in other rooms!
Here it is.
Lin Yuan entered the room, sat down at the piano, and casually played a piece from the original host’s mory, a classic Blue Star song, “Heart’s Desire”.
He chose this piece out of nostalgia.
This was the first piano piece his mother taught him, and he was once tornted by it to insanity.
But now, revisiting the song, Lin Yuan found it sohow endearing—
That must have been the original host’s feelings.
And also Lin Yuan’s feelings at the mont.
Moreover, Lin Yuan felt a sense of empowernt!
Every ti he struck a key, it was so comfortable now. Not just the rhythm and timing of the notes, they just naturally appeared in his mind.
In his mory,
All the piano playing problems that the original host couldn’t solve could now be solved with ease. You know, before, Lin Yuan even found it difficult to play this song by reading sheet music.
But now,
Not only can he seamlessly play the entire song, he can also make so small adaptations.
In addition, he is aware of details like the depth and rhythm of pedal use, and the improvents each detail contributes to the quality of each note.
And those technically challenging parts in the song, like playing chords, now pose no trouble to him with his flexible fingering.
After playing through the song, Lin Yuan was about to fall in love with the feeling of playing the piano.
Five minutes later.
At last, “Heart’s Desire” ca to an end. His dramatic improvent in piano skills filled Lin Yuan with confidence!
He decided to try “Mariage d’Amour”.
However, as Lin Yuan was about to strike the first note, a rather cold voice interrupted, “Who let you in here?”
Lin Yuan looked up.
A long-haired girl in a black coat was standing at the door. The sunlight shone behind her, highlighting her tall figure. The cold aura she exuded couldn’t be concealed. Her beautiful but frosty eyes were staring right at Lin Yuan.
“Isn’t this a public area?”
Lin Yuan thought this girl was bizarre.
She scoffed, “Don’t you recognize ?”
Lin Yuan was more confused, “Have we t before?”
She glared at Lin Yuan, then gradually regained her composure, “This piano belongs to . As for this piano room, it’s exclusively for my use by the school’s permission. So stop torturing my piano with your clumsy skills.”
Lin Yuan could only get up and say, “I’ll let you have it.”
She solemnly corrected him, “Not let, but return, because this was my piano in the first place.”
“Alright, I’ll return it to you.”
As Lin Yuan headed for the door, just as he was about to pass her, she suddenly said, “There have been many people trying to get my attention, but you’ve used the worst possible thod. Pretending to be dumb really vexes .”
“What?”
Lin Yuan was puzzled.
The girl took out a tissue from her bag and ticulously cleaned the piano keys that Lin Yuan had just played. At the sa ti, she spoke in a cold, mocking tone, “Although Abigail’s ‘Heart’s Desire’ is my favorite piece, it doesn’t an I would enjoy it played by anyone. Your skills might be a bit better than my other suitors’, but it’s not enough to stir my heart. Also, I don’t like roses. I already threw them in the trash downstairs.”
“Oh.”
Lin Yuan thought she must have misunderstood sothing. He wasn’t mad, nor did he plan to clarify. After all, it didn’t cost him anything. He just seriously reminded her:
“I washed my hands before playing the piano.”
So piano lovers are particularly concerned about cleanliness, fearing that the keys would be stained with obvious fingerprints. Lin Yuan thought this room was also a public piano room, so he washed his hands with soap out of consideration for public hygiene before playing the piano.
The girl just ignored him and kept wiping.
Even the piano body that Lin Yuan didn’t touch wasn’t spared.
Lin Yuan could only switch to a different room.
He sat down in front of the piano in the new room.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to play, he rembered how the girl had criticized his skills. He couldn’t help but ask the system he hadn’t communicated with in a long ti, “Are my skills really that bad?”
“Not at all.”
“That’s a relief.”
Just as Lin Yuan let out a sigh of relief, he heard the system say: “To those with higher performance levels, anyone whose piano skills are inferior to theirs is considered diocre.”
“…”
So that’s how it was.
Lin Yuan didn’t expect that girl’s piano skills were even better than his, considering his skills were bestowed by the system at a professional level.
She was probably a piano prodigy or sothing.
Without lingering on the thought, Lin Yuan started playing Mariage d’Amour, a piece he got from the Silver Treasure Chest.
…
Finally, the piano was clean.
Gu Xi sat in front of the piano, her mood sowhat gloomy.
The piano was a gift from her father, it had been with Gu Xi since she was seven.
Upon being admitted to Qin Art, she even requested the school to allow her to bring this sentintal piano.
Since Gu Xi owned the piano, no one else had touched the instrunt.
Because she had stayed up too late practicing on the piano last night and forgot to lock the door, this piano, was used today by a stranger.
It was as if her toothbrush had been used by a stranger, which upset her.
Her mood ruined her enthusiasm to practice today.
At the ti when she was sowhat irritable, a foreign piano piece, surprisingly, lessened Gu Xi’s irritability —
A classic piece in G minor.
Gu Xi listened attentively.
This was Gu Xi’s first ti listening to the piece, she had no idea if it was from a prominent composer, but she felt enveloped in the waves of piano music, unable to help but lose herself in the sea of music.
Sotis, it was as warm as the wind.
Sotis, it was as soft as a rainbow.
When the romantic atmosphere swept in, the lody was so sweet, as if honey lted in her heart. Gu Xi almost felt like she was in a sanctified wedding church…
No, that’s not right.
This piece was not entirely about romance and sweetness. On closer examination, it seed more like hopeless love, where a man hungry for love wanders in his dreams, desiring to embrace love but afraid to break the dream – until he sees the woman he loves, dancing gracefully in the illusory wedding.
The perforr revealed their emotions through the music.
The piano went fast then slow.
The tone went high then low.
When the piece ended, Gu Xi had a sense of waking from a dream after a mont of daze. She stared at the piano in front of her, then suddenly stood up and sprinted out.
“Who was that?”
She tried to find the source of the sound, running through every piano room, but she was unable to find the perforr of the piece. Instead, she was greeted with a few shocked or confused gazes.
“Who was it!”
Her eyes shone brightly.
She was eager to know who played that unfamiliar piece, she desperately wanted to know what the piece was called!
Just then,
A nervous-looking boy appeared, “If you don’t like roses, it’s okay to throw them away, but could you tell what kind of flowers you do like? Next ti I…”
“Roses?”
Caught in the disappointnt of not finding the perforr, Gu Xi’s emotions were on a roller coaster. She was suddenly interrupted, her eyebrows imdiately furrowed, “So the flowers from before were from you?”
The boy stamred, “Ye… Yes.”
Gu Xi opened her mouth to say sothing, rembering the guy’s face, her expression turned even colder, “I’m allergic to pollen.”
The air felt cold.
The boy imdiately retreated.
