Chapter 34: Piano Prodigy
Lu Liu handed the key to Yuan Xiao during his lunch break. Yuan Xiao could not wait to go to the music classroom after getting the key. The content of the lesson in her mind was very clear, but she had not been able to get any practice. Yuan Xiao felt that it would be difficult for her to continue picking up the advanced class if she did not play the piano properly.
As she approached the classroom, Yuan Xiao heard the melodious sound of a piano.
"Didn't Teacher Lu say that no one uses the music room?" Yuan Xiao walked closer. The music did not stop, and there was an indescribable sadness in the melody.
Yuan Xiao was a little entranced as she listened. She approached the classroom and looked through the glass window on the door.
Beside the black piano sat a tall young man. The young man's back was very straight. His movements were not exaggerated, but it was pleasing to the eye. The window in the room was not closed, and the young man's body swayed slightly. His slightly long black hair was a little messy, and his slender and agile fingers danced on the black and white keys. Coupled with this sad music, his figure looked lonely and lonely.
"Is it… Fang Yao?" There was sufficient light in the afternoon. The young man's body seemed to be covered with a golden veil, and his facial features were a little blurry.
Yuan Xiao could not bear to interrupt the beautiful music. She stood at the door and waited for the young man's song to end. freewebno vel.com
"Yuan Xiao, why are you here?" Fang Yao felt the gaze outside the door and stopped playing. When he saw Yuan Xiao, Fang Yao felt as if there was a flash of color in front of his eyes.
"It's really you, Fang Yao. You actually know how to play the piano!" Yuan Xiao walked into the classroom. When she saw that the young man in front of her was Fang Yao, she could not hide the surprise in her heart.
"Why can't I know how to play the piano?" Fang Yao had been avoiding Yuan Xiao for the past few days. He did not know how to face the feelings in his heart. However, Fang Yao had to admit that he could not help but feel happy when he saw Yuan Xiao.
"I didn't expect our Colonel Fang to not only be handsome but also talented." Yuan Xiao smiled at Fang Yao ingratiatingly. She could feel that Fang Yao was deliberately avoiding her. Yuan Xiao did not like this feeling. She preferred the Fang Yao who could quarrel with her.
"There are many things you can't imagine. I've been learning piano since I was six years old." Fang Yao liked the feeling of being valued by Yuan Xiao. He didn not expect his specialty to be so useful. freeweb novel.com
"Then can the handsome Colonel Fang teach me how to play the piano?" Yuan Xiao was originally a little worried. No matter how detailed the courses online were, they could not compare to having guide her from the side.
"You want to learn the piano?" Fang Yao got up from the piano stool and walked closer to Yuan Xiao.
"Yes." Yuan Xiao waved the classroom key that Lu Liu had given her. "I borrowed the venue from Teacher Lu. You can teach me how to play the piano here!"
Fang Yao was speechless. After he borrowed the classroom from Lu Liu, he had clearly said that he would try his best not to let anyone know that he was practicing the piano here and not to lend the classroom to anyone else. It seemed that Lu Liu had no intention of keeping his promise.
Fang Yao glanced at Yuan Xiao and gestured for her to sit in front of the piano. "What grade did you learn before?"
"I know music theory, can read the five-line score, but my actually playing skills—zero." Yuan Xiao smiled sweetly at Fang Yao, afraid that he would go back on his word about teaching her how to play the piano.
"Alright." Fang Yao sighed and sat beside Yuan Xiao. "Watch me play it once and try to imitate it later."
Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Yao's handsome side profile. Under the sunlight, the young man's face looked warmer, and his nimble fingers danced on the piano keys. Yuan Xiao was engrossed in listening, and the simple tune was much more alive in Fang Yao's performance.
"How is it? Do you get it?" Fang Yao turned to look at Yuan Xiao and realized that she was in a daze.
Fang Yao gently tapped Yuan Xiao's forehead with his fingertip and said with a smile, "It's rare. Even our study genius can be distracted in class?"
Yuan Xiao smiled in embarrassment. "It's because you play too well."
"Come, give it a try. I'll teach you if you don't know how to play." Fang Yao's voice was very soft.
Yuan Xiao did not expect Fang Yao, who usually fought and caused trouble, to be so gentle when playing the piano.
Yuan Xiao tried to press the piano keys. With her childhood memories and her online studies over the past few days, Yuan Xiao barely managed to play a small part of the piano and cast a pleading look at Fang Yao.
Fang Yao was very patient. He gently placed his palm on Yuan Xiao's hand and led her to hit the piano keys bit by bit.
"Have you memorized it?" Fang Yao looked at Yuan Xiao and realized that her cheeks were slightly red. "Why? You're shy learning to play the piano?"
Hearing Fang Yao's teasing, Yuan Xiao bit her lower lip. "You're too close to me. It's hot!"
