Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 18 This kid is probably pretending to pick up girls!

"Lu Mingfei?"

The music stopped, leaving only lingering notes.

Liu Miaomiao looked at Lu Mingfei in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"That sounds familiar..."

Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, a sense of relief creeping into his heart. Since she was someone he knew, things would be much easier. Besides, Liu Miaomiao had treated him fairly well; she probably wouldn't look down on or laugh at him.

"I'm here to learn piano, how about that, didn't expect that, did you?" Lu Mingfei said with a sly smile.

He entered the room, which was a very spacious practice room. It could easily fit three grand pianos and was also equipped with various devices that Lu Mingfei could or could not recognize.

Hmm...it looks expensive!

It makes sense that Liu Miaomiao is here; her family is very wealthy, driving a top-of-the-line BMW and having a personal driver. They might only be slightly less well-off than "Little Fairy" Su Xiaoqiang's family.

"That was truly unexpected."

Liu Miaomiao paused for a moment, "However... you've done so many unexpected things these past two days, so one more won't make a difference."

"Now that you mention it, it's true." Lu Mingfei sighed.

Liu Miaomiao was attending a school tutoring class and sat at the desk in front of him. She had witnessed his complete ignoring of Chen Wenwen and his "superhuman" antics in math class over the past two days, raising her expectations to a whole new level.

"Oh, you two... know each other?"

Aunt Shanshan closed the door, her face already filled with undisguised excitement as she watched the drama unfold.

“We’re classmates.” Lu Mingfei waved his hand.

“The desks in front and behind,” Liu Miaomiao added.

"Oh……"

She glanced at Liu Miaomiao on the left and Lu Mingfei on the right, seemingly lost in thought before suddenly realizing something. Then her tone changed, becoming full of teasing.

"Oh~~~"

“She is that one…” Aunt Shanshan raised an eyebrow at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei snapped to attention and realized what was happening.

Buho!

What a misunderstanding! What a huge misunderstanding!
Lu Mingfei couldn't explain the previous misunderstanding clearly. Since he figured it was pointless to just tease him since he couldn't explain it anyway, he simply stopped trying to explain.

Who knew that less than a minute later, they would run into the "real person" of the misunderstanding?

This must not be known to others, otherwise it would be considered spreading rumors!
[Warning: It's time for your piano lesson! Please begin the plan immediately...]

The warning sounded, and Lu Mingfei quickly interrupted.

"Time is of the essence, Aunt Shanshan, let's begin the lesson!"

"Hmph..." Aunt Shanshan didn't insist on telling what had just happened.

In her opinion, Lu Mingfei was just shy because he had met the person in question.

As I said before, young people's innocent love should be like this.

There's no need to rush in; let's just observe and see. Ah, youth—even as bystanders, it's a time for endless reflection!
Having made up her mind, Aunt Shanshan clapped her hands.

"Okay, let's get started!"

……

"First of all, there was a slight problem with what Miaomiao told you before... Miaomiao, you made a mistake. Don't worry about what I'm saying, just focus! I'll come to you and talk to you about it."

Aunt Shanshan had Liu Miaomiao practice playing the instrument, while she herself gave Lu Mingfei some pointers on the other side.

With her abilities, even while talking to Lu Mingfei, she could still notice the mistakes Liu Miaomiao made while playing, and the two of them could still take care of each other at the same time. "There's no such thing as specifically training finger strength when learning piano. She was probably too young when she started learning, and she got tired after playing for a while, so she thought she was training her finger strength. But you're a boy, so you don't need to worry about these things."

Playing the piano is not simply about striking with your fingers, but about learning to use the downward movement of your arm to transfer power.

First, posture: the height of the piano bench should be such that your elbows are slightly higher than the keyboard surface, and your back should be straight, but not too stiff.
Secondly, the hand shape should be natural and curved. Imagine you are holding an egg in your hand, with your fingertips touching the keys and your palm joints supporting the weight, avoiding finger bending or palm collapse.

Next, relax your arms and shoulders, keep your forearms parallel to the keyboard, and avoid raising or pressing your wrists too high..."

As Aunt Shanshan spoke, Lu Mingfei adjusted his posture.

Having already worked out, Lu Mingfei was no stranger to adjusting his posture, and he quickly followed the instructions to complete the adjustment.

"Yes, that's right. Then I'll teach you how to touch the keys one note at a time. You need to feel the power transfer from your fingertips, practice the 'lift finger - drop key' action, and then learn to recognize the keys..."

Some people are good at learning but don't know how to teach, while others are not only good at learning but also good at teaching.

Aunt Shanshan was the latter, and Lu Mingfei quickly realized the significance of a pianist who had won a prestigious international piano competition in the United States.

Through diligent practice, your piano skills have improved, gaining 10 proficiency points.

10 o'clock!

Lu Mingfei was secretly delighted.

He had never seen such a large increase in proficiency in a single instance since he began gaining proficiency!

Aside from that time when he was in a daze and his [Fitness] skill suddenly increased to LV1... but at that time Lu Mingfei was completely confused, and afterwards he always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't find the reason, so he temporarily put it aside.

But this time, he was fully conscious the whole time!
The increase is so significant that it can no longer be explained by the fact that "he is a piano prodigy." Aunt Shanshan's superb teaching skills must have played a key role as well!

The somewhat awkward fingering suddenly became smooth, and Lu Mingfei felt that the previously unfamiliar black and white piano keys had become familiar, as if the 52 white keys and 36 black keys were imprinted in his mind.

"what?"

Aunt Shan blinked, noticing the change in Lu Mingfei's movements. "Mingfei is improving very quickly. Let's move on to the next one, practice some basic keys, C major..."

The process remains the same.

After listening to Aunt Shanshan's teaching, Lu Mingfei found his first attempt extremely difficult and hesitant, even requiring Aunt Shanshan to explain it again. The second attempt was still slightly difficult, but he no longer needed to stop to listen to Aunt Shanshan.

And on the third time...

[Through diligent practice, your [piano] skills have improved, gaining 10 proficiency points!]
Thus, everything flowed smoothly and completely under control!
Although the techniques practiced were very basic, and the increase in proficiency only resulted in mastery, this was already quite outrageous for a beginner!

He mastered each technique three times. Lu Mingfei seemed to have no technical bottlenecks; he was a relentless practice machine.

【go through……】

【go through……】

Lu Mingfei was completely immersed in this feeling.

For him, the feeling of making progress simply by working hard was so wonderful, so delightful, and even so captivating.

Who can resist becoming stronger? Who doesn't want to improve?

Laziness and the uncertainty of progress had worn down his enthusiasm and formed a habit... But now, with a schedule in place, Lu Mingfei has no reason to be negative.

Unless he wants to get electrocuted!

However, what Lu Mingfei took for granted was not so normal in the eyes of others.

For Aunt Shanshan, her emotions went from initial surprise to happiness, then to astonishment, shock, and finally... doubt.

Her gaze fell on Liu Miaomiao, then on Lu Mingfei, whose progress was somewhat "inhuman," and she made a guess that seemed perfectly reasonable to her—

Is this guy pretending on purpose, trying to pick up girls here?!
