Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I’ve already let you listen to the recording, so how could I conspire with i Mu to deceive you?” Li Hua, feeling frustrated that she still didn’t believe her, beca increasingly agitated and racked her brain to find a way to gain her trust.
“Otherwise, otherwise, I’ll take action first!” Li Hua hesitated repeatedly, and suddenly her eyes lit up with a brilliant idea. “I know how to deal with her now. I’ll take action, but you have to promise that after I take action, we’ll work together to bring her down! You can’t help her target !”
i Shu’s heart blood with joy, but her face remained calm. “Alright, let’s do it that way. I’ll wait for your good news.”
After saying that, i Shu turned and walked away, paying no attention to what Li Hua might be plotting.
At the entrance of the classroom, Lu Yan was indeed waiting for her.
“Where did you go? I thought you had sothing and went ho early,” Lu Yan said, heaving a sigh of relief upon seeing her. He then recalled the incident at the school gate in the morning, and his body couldn’t help but tense up. “No one bothered you again today, right? Did that i Mu cause you any trouble?”
“No, it’s quiet for now. Let’s focus on studying first. We have a tight schedule and heavy tasks. I’ll rely on you, the top student, to help !” i Shu smiled and walked with him towards the library.
Lu Yan’s face showed a hint of a smile. “Why be so polite with ? By the way, I heard that the school will soon hold a piano competition. I rember you used to play the piano when you were little. Are you interested in giving it a try?”
“I’ll pass. Studying is my priority now. Participating in the competition won’t make much difference in these three months.” i Shu didn’t even consider the idea.
Although her piano skills had improved rapidly thanks to the system, it didn’t an she wanted to show them off.
Right now, the most important thing for her was to get into a prestigious university in the capital.
Lu Yan didn’t insist on her participating in the competition. He brought it up for another reason.
As he thought about his intention, a deeper smile appeared in his eyes. The usually cold and aloof person suddenly smiled, as if even ice and snow could lt. “Do you rember when you used to practice the piano, you always had a troubled expression? I asked you to play the piano for , and you pretended to hit , but then Aunt Bai caught us, and you almost got punished.”
“I rember, of course I rember.”
Recalling their childhood antics, i Shu’s expression softened.
Back then, her mother was still there. Although she was very strict with her, having her around ant there was a place she could call “ho” and find warmth whenever she needed it.
But now…
Seeing the disappointnt in her eyes, Lu Yan quickly changed the subject. “It’s been a long ti since I’ve heard you play the piano. How about now? Just play one piece for , and then we can start studying.”
“Sure.”
Lu Yan had done so much for her, and he was only making this small request. How could i Shu refuse?
Side by side, they walked happily until they reached the piano room.
At this ti, school was over and most of the teachers had already gone ho, so the piano room was empty.
i Shu put down her backpack and sat down on the chair, choosing a long and lancholic piece. She glanced at the sheet music only once and morized it in her mind.
Soon, the lodious sound of the piano filled the entire room.
Lu Yan leaned against the piano, closing his eyes and attentively listening to the piece.
It was said that being able to recognize each other’s piano playing made them kindred spirits.
Suddenly, Lu Yan thought to himself, could he be considered half of i Shu’s kindred spirit now?
At least he could tell how much she missed the joyful days of the past.
She was missing Bai Ling.
The lancholic emotions in the music were tear-inducing. Even a big man like Lu Yan felt his nose tingling, his chest feeling heavy and uncomfortable. Suddenly, he wanted to hold this seemingly strong but actually fragile girl in his arms and comfort her.
The thought startled him.
Both of them were no longer children now, and there were differences between n and won. They couldn’t play around without any worries like they did when they were young.
Why did he suddenly have the urge to hug her?
Lu Yan’s face turned red, and his heart was beating so fast that he couldn’t concentrate on the music anymore. He was lost in his own thoughts, completely unaware of soone who had appeared at the door.
It was only when the piece finished and the crisp applause echoed at the entrance that both of them noticed Zhao Min, the piano teacher, standing there.
“i Shu, you played so well. Your piano technique is skilled, and your playing is full of emotions. You can be called a naturally gifted pianist. I wonder if you’re interested in representing the school in the piano competition?”
i Shu imdiately stood up from the chair and humbly lowered her head. “I’m sorry, teacher, but right now I’m focusing on studying and don’t want any distractions.”
“That’s a pity. The school happens to have one spot, and I really wanted to give it to you,” Zhao Min sighed deeply. She took another look at i Shu and thought about the enchanting piece she had just played, unwilling to give up as she persuaded, “Why don’t you think about it again? With your current level, it wouldn’t require much ti to practice..”
