I am just an ordinary person! Why do you like me?

The two began to look at the music score.

Because of the last assessment, Shi Chenchen learned some knowledge about piano, so now he can still understand the musical notation.

Shi Chenchen found the melody of his accompaniment and felt relieved. The accompaniment melody basically only required pressing a few keys back and forth. As long as he matched the speed of Yi Xingchen, there would basically be no big problem.

So I looked at the music score and rehearsed in my mind how to press the keys when the time comes.

After preparing himself mentally, Shi Chenchen pursed his lips, smiled and said to Yi Xingchen, "Let's get started."

Yi Xingchen nodded.

Shi Chenchen's left hand and Yi Xingchen's right hand appeared on the piano.

When other groups practice the piano, it is usually one person playing while another person is giving guidance.

Or two people can play together with four hands.

There are relatively few groups like Yi Xingchen where one person plays chords and the other plays the main melody.

But no matter what, it's much better than staying here quietly now.

Compared with the uneven piano sounds of other groups, their group seemed too quiet and therefore conspicuous.

Shi Chenchen nodded slightly to Yi Xingchen, and the two smiled at each other and began to play.

At the beginning, Shi Chenchen was a bit hesitant, but after he got familiar with the melody, he gradually became proficient.

Yi Xingchen adjusted the rhythm of his piano to match his partner's melody.

Shi Chenchen could see with his discerning eyes that Yi Xingchen was not unskilled.

——But he is too skilled.

When Yi Xingchen was playing the piano, she was not looking at the manuscript at all, but seemed to be observing the movements of her hands.

Although this piano piece is not difficult, Yi Xingchen seems to have memorized the entire score.

Sometimes when Shi Chenchen accidentally missed a note, Yi Xingchen would “just happen” to catch up with her by missing a note.

I couldn't help but admire his ability to coordinate and control music.

Because the melody was too simple, Shi Chenchen was able to distract himself and notice a tangled red thread on the piano.

This seems to be the thin wire used to tie indoor balloons during the last Hundred Regiments Campaign.

There is more than one designated piece of music this time. If you get tired of practicing one piece, you can switch to another designated piece of music.

So Shi Chenchen and Yi Xingchen played several songs together.

Finally, the piano club's activities came to an end.

...

Shi Chenchen breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over.

Otherwise, she would always be worried about whether she would be exposed.

Fortunately, with Yi Xingchen's help, I was able to get away with it.

But I may not be so lucky in the next club activity. If I am matched with someone else in the same group, the fact that I can’t play the piano will be exposed.

So you still have to really know how to play the piano.

After school, Shi Chenchen used the excuse that he had to go back to the dormitory to get something, but in fact he secretly went to the piano room to start practicing.

Before he even got close to the piano room, Shi Chenchen heard a burst of music.

This piece of music was sad and mournful, but Shi Chenchen always felt like he had heard this song somewhere before.

She walked slowly towards the sound of the music.

Finally, she saw Gu Wang, who had disappeared at noon, in the piano club classroom.

At this time, the afterglow has not yet faded away, and the orange-red light and shadow flow quietly through the window onto the exquisite and expensive black piano in the room, reflecting a low-key and luxurious halo.

Gu Wang sat straight and dignifiedly in front of the piano.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and his hair covered his eyebrows. For a moment, Shi Chenchen couldn't tell what kind of mentality the young man who was playing the piano in the room was in to play such a sad piece of music.

Shi Chenchen stared at him in the middle of the open space in a daze.

For a moment I didn't know what to do next, as if I had forgotten everything just by listening to his music.

I forgot that my current task was to go in and practice the piano.

I forgot the main task I had to complete.

I even forgot my identity in this world.

She seemed to be just the purest version of herself, standing outside the classroom, quietly listening to the boy playing the piano inside.

It seems that the entire space can only accommodate——

Him and her.

Shi Chenchen had never had such a magical feeling before, as if just by listening to the music, he could feel the endless sadness in the boy's heart.

Maybe the sound of the leaves outside the window was too noisy, or maybe Chenchen's gaze was too focused and eager when he was outside.

Gu Wang stopped playing the piano and turned to meet the stunned gaze of the girl outside the house.

The girl was standing outside the house at this time, holding the door frame with one hand, staring at him blankly.

In front of her was the orange-red afterglow, which seemed to separate him from her.

Slowly, she gradually focused her gaze on one point.

When Gu Wang saw Shi Chenchen, he remembered the last time he saw her and Wen Zhi in the restaurant, both of them smiling.

He immediately frowned in annoyance, and even his dark grey eyes seemed to dim a little, and he looked at Shi Chenchen with cold and sarcastic eyes.

Didn't you say you are his fan?

Didn't you say you like him?

Why are you still smiling so happily with other men?

It was not until the sound of the piano lid slamming down that Shi Chenchen was suddenly brought back to his senses.

At this time, Gu Wang had already stood up and prepared to leave the classroom.

Originally, his backpack contained a signed 'Gu Wang' doll for her, but after thinking about it, he decided there was no need to give it to her.

Just as Gu Wang and Shi Chenchen passed by each other——

She held him back.

Gu Wang frowned, wanting to ask Shi Chenchen what he wanted to do now.

I saw a tear flowing down her face.

Gu Wang was stunned.

she cried?

why?

He continued to move forward but stopped here.

The orange-red afterglow shone on the two of them. In this silent silence, they stared at each other silently for a long time.

Gu Wang spoke first: "You..." Are you okay?

At the same time, Shi Chenchen interrupted Gu Wang and said, "You..."

She paused, then said, "Can you teach me the song you just played?"

She looked at Gu Wang with a serious look and repeated her words again.

"Can you teach me the piece you just played?"

"I want to learn."

...

Gu Wang returned to the piano bench again.

Gu Wang didn't know how he was pulled back by Shi Chenchen.

Looking at the piano lid being lifted up by Shi Chenchen again, revealing the snow-white keys again, Gu Wang remained silent.

Just this once, he told himself.

Then when he met Shi Chenchen's shining eyes again, Gu Wang suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. He wrinkled his nose, turned his head and pretended not to care.

But his earlobes were already red.

Shi Chenchen looked at Gu Wang, who was sitting straight and quietly beside her.

The orange-red light and shadow outline his profile extremely delicately. His high nose bridge is perfectly connected to his thin and stylish lips, and his jawline is neat and smooth. His entire profile is incredibly good-looking.

"Do you have music?"

Shi Chenchen asked doubtfully.

Gu Wang had forgotten about this. He frowned and said, "No."

This piece of music is something he has learned naturally since he learned to play the piano.

He didn't know where he learned it from, but he never dwelled on it.

He never bothered himself over questions that he couldn't find the answer to, because it was meaningless.

But when Gu Wang saw a ball of red string placed on the piano stand, he immediately had an idea.

He took the red thread and wrapped it around his fingers.

His hands were thin and slender, with distinct joints, and a hint of blue was faintly visible under his fair skin.

At this moment, the bright red thread was wrapped around the whiteness, giving it an inexplicably charming feeling.

Gu Wang handed the other end of the thread to Shi Chenchen.

Shi Chenchen took the red string with a puzzled look on his face, but still followed Gu Wang's instructions and wrapped the red string around his own hand.

Gu Wang kept a silent face and said calmly:

"let's start."
