【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Lin Ning felt that she had made the right choice to come to this program! She was a nobody before. She had formed a band with her friends and participated in several instrument competitions inside and outside the school. Even her mentor said that she was a full-time supporting role, and could only serve as a foil to others. She was always a runner-up in every competition.

That day, Lin Pin'er drew her from the lot box, and the wheel of fate began to turn secretly.

Out of the twenty-two people, Lin Pin'er chose her by chance, and asked her to play a guzheng solo on the stage of their first collaboration. That performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" made the audience notice her, and also made her get rid of her inferiority, fear, and panic, and become confident.

This time, Li Shuirong chose her again to perform in the game theme song he selected, and arranged a wonderful ensemble for her with the bamboo flute.

During the time when she didn't come to the competition, Lin Ning suspected that she had depression. She was not liked by others, didn't like making friends, had no hope for her future, and had some pessimistic thoughts every day. Later, she even wanted to shrink into a protective shell and not be discovered.

But now she just wants to practice the piano well. When she is concentrating on practicing, she has no time to think about random things. She doesn't want to make a fool of herself on the stage, so she has to practice the part she plays over and over again.

Gradually, the band members also noticed her, praised her for the music she played, and took the initiative to discuss music with her.

The true meaning of life is: everyone has a time to play a supporting role, and everyone also has the opportunity to become the protagonist.

It was the afternoon of the first day of rehearsal, near dinner time.

Lin Pin'er came to each rehearsal room to see everyone's rehearsal progress as usual. After entering the rehearsal room of Li Shuirong Band, the first thing she heard was the sound of bamboo flute, followed by the sound of guzheng, which was pleasant and beautiful.

Lin Ning played a modern konghou with double strings. The floor-standing golden body was a size larger than the ancient konghou. Lin Ning was not tall, and his small and thin shoulders supported the body of the instrument while his fingers rose and fell melodiously.

Lin Pin'er couldn't bear to interrupt the beautiful music at this moment, but the inspiration that emerged in her mind was to help her design a floor-length dress. The dress should also be made of light golden gauze, blending with the body of the zither, a bit like the body of the zither melting and leaving a golden light on the ground. On the day of the actual performance, her hair should be loose, and her head should be tied up, decorated with golden Chinese ornaments.

Thinking of this, he took out his laptop from his bag, opened the clothing design software, input his ideas into it, and after the first draft was completed, he sent it to Wu Qing for improvement.

Logically speaking, Wu Qing is better at designing performance costumes. Lin Pin'er hasn't opened the fashion design software for two years. She had only designed clothes for Madam Li and Li Shuirong before. Today, she had a sudden inspiration based on the mood of the song.

After they finished practicing the song, Lin Pin'er called Lin Ning to her side and showed her the first draft of the performance costume she designed for her to see if there was anything that needed improvement.

"It's so beautiful, even more beautiful than the costumes in A Midsummer Night's Dream." Lin Ning couldn't help but praise.

Lin Pin'er explained her creative ideas to Lin Ning: "A Midsummer Night's Dream is a more Western-style dress, with a round and propped-up skirt, and an elf-like playfulness and cuteness. Your song is a Chinese style, and the characters in our game are all sorcerers. So your costume will also be more Chinese. I was inspired by your music just now. If I want to give this performance costume a name, it will be called: Qinxian. It's like a qin spirit born from loneliness from a qin, and after continuous practice, it transforms into a human form. Only then can the human form be integrated with the qin, so the color is closer, as if it is a soul born from the qin."

After hearing this, Li Shuirong teased, "That must be the Qin Demon? If it encounters us demon hunters, will it fight with us? You have a good idea. I will tell the game company right away and ask them to create a monster character called Qin Demon. I have also thought of a theme, which is: Demon Hunter vs. Qin Demon!" After saying that, he actually took out his phone and prepared to dial.

Lin Pin'er turned to Lin Ning and said, "Don't listen to him. It was clearly his idea, but he insisted on pinning it on me. I was talking about the Zither Fairy, but he insisted on interpreting it as the Zither Demon. He was just deliberately making fun of us."

Lin Ning didn't care and said with a smile: "I like both the Qin Fairy and the Qin Demon. After all, they were born for the Qin. I believe that even if they are demons, they are not too bad!"

At this time, Lin Pin'er's phone rang. After answering the phone, it turned out to be Wang Xifeng calling. She said that the restaurant had specially prepared a small hot pot for everyone tonight. She said that it was cold today, so she asked her to take everyone to eat hot pot to warm up.

Lin Pin'er hurriedly thanked Wang Xifeng for the arrangement and said that she was just worrying about how to build a good team. It was just like when she fell asleep, someone brought her a pillow.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ning was still staring at Lin Pin'er's face. Lin Pin'er felt embarrassed by her gaze and asked her what was wrong? Was there something on her face?

Lin Ning said quietly, "I seem to have dreamt about this scene before. But in my dream, you were invited to perform at the Spring Festival Gala."

Lin Pin'er laughed, then said it was impossible. But just as she finished speaking, the phone rang again, and this time Lian Li Shuirong stared at her phone screen in a daze.

Three big words appeared on the screen: Brother Li.

The moment Lin Pin'er answered the phone, Li Shuirong also held his breath, and he felt the hairs on his body stand up.

Lin Pin'er's expression was also a little unnatural, with surprise mixed with panic and some disbelief.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Pin'er's mouth almost became an O shape.

"My eldest brother told me that I could participate in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala and asked me to arrange the rehearsal time and theme and then inform him."

Li Shuirong was also stunned for three seconds after hearing this, and then he heard Lin Pin'er say:

"Lin Ning, is your dream predictive? It's been less than a minute since you told me about that dream. Isn't it too accurate?"

Lin Ning seemed quite natural. She tucked her long hair behind her ears. Before she could speak, Li Shuirong answered first:

“It’s not that her dream was prophetic; it’s that she had a dream that foretells the future.”

Lin Pin'er was even more surprised. She couldn't believe what had just happened. After Lin Ning squeezed her hand, he spoke in a normal tone: "Actually, I have a secret. The dreams I often have will happen in real life. And the more clearly I remember the dream, the higher the probability of it happening. I'm used to it."

Li Shuirong thought to herself, last time she dreamed of a woman with beads on her hands and playing cards, and a music lover. They watched our performance on a huge screen and made comments from time to time. When she had that dream, Li Shuirong already felt that she had some abilities that were different from ordinary people. It seemed that her dreams could foresee the future, just as she thought.
