The daily life of a crazy female supporting character trying to redeem herself.
Chapter 70 The Music Room
Because of the move, he transferred to a high school near the Qin family's house, and it was for this reason that he met Liang Qing.
He was practicing the piano in the music room at that time. After finishing a piece, he saw a figure standing at the door, who had been there for who knows how long.
Perhaps it was because that incident left such a deep impression on him that, even though he didn't think about it much, he recognized her at a glance as the little girl from back then, even though she had grown taller and thinner into a beautiful young woman that was hard to look away from.
When the girl realized he had noticed, she wasn't shy at all. Instead, she praised him generously, saying, "You play the piano so well!"
She didn't know who he was, but he knew perfectly well.
Although it wasn't his doing, there was indeed a complex relationship between them.
He knew perfectly well that it was impossible for the two of them to become friends, or for them to have any other kind of relationship, because that path was too difficult and would bring a lot of trouble.
Given their awkward situation, the best relationship for them is to remain strangers, just like they have for the past decade or so.
He shouldn't have paid any attention to her; he should have just waited for her to leave on her own.
But he heard himself say, "Would you like to play it?"
He was shocked when he said it, felt very annoyed, and even began to pray that she would reject him and leave quickly.
Unfortunately, heaven did not hear his prayers.
The girl walked in with a smile, sat on an empty chair next to him, and said with a laugh, "I'm not playing anymore. You play so well, I'll only embarrass myself in front of you."
"You're joking."
The girl said very seriously, "I'm not flattering you, I mean it. In this school, you are the first person who plays the piano so well."
Qin Zhouyu assumed she was there to play the piano, so he asked, "Are you here to practice?"
Liang Qing shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm not a music student, I study science."
After saying that, he added, "Fortunately, I studied science, otherwise, if I had met an opponent like you, I'm afraid I would have been practicing the piano so much that I couldn't sleep at night."
Her joking remark, however, struck Qin Zhouyu as inexplicably tinged with sadness.
He fell silent because he remembered that she had such a father.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Liang Qing wasn't disappointed. "By the way, my name is Liang Qing. What's your name? I've never seen you here before."
"My name is Qin Zhouyu. I just transferred here a couple of days ago."
She nodded. "I see. No wonder I've never seen you before."
Qin Zhouyu didn't know what to say, so he could only ask, "How did you end up here?"
Liang Qing smiled and said, "I'm here to see my friend. She used to practice the piano every Wednesday, but I figured it was your turn, so I rearranged the schedule."
After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Her name is Xue Fanxing, she's also a music student, and she should be in your class. Do you know her?"
Qin Zhouyu shook his head. "Sorry, I just transferred here and I'm not very familiar with my classmates yet."
"It's okay, she knows I'll come here to find her, she should be here soon."
After Qin Zhouyu nodded slightly, the room suddenly fell silent.
After a while, Liang Qing asked again, "You don't mind me waiting here, do you?"
Qin Zhouyu placed his hand on the piano keys and replied, "I don't mind."
"If you want to practice the piano, then you don't need to worry about my presence. Just keep practicing. I enjoy listening to you play."
Hearing Liang Qing's blunt words, Qin Zhouyu's ears turned red, but he really didn't know what to say, so he could only start playing the zither.
When he was halfway through playing, Xue Fanxing walked into the music room and interrupted his playing.
Xue Fanxing had just seen Liang Qing from outside the door when she hurriedly came in and said, "Qingqing, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that my practice time has changed, making you wait so long."
Liang Qing stood up from the chair and, seeing that she was slightly out of breath, asked, "Are you alright? What's wrong? Sit down for a while."
Xue Fanxing waved her hand and sat down in the chair. "Don't even mention it. My brain is getting worse every day. I was waiting for you in the classroom. At first, I was wondering why you were so late today. Then I remembered about practicing the piano, and I slapped my forehead. Oh no, I forgot to tell you that the time was changed. So I rushed over."
Liang Qing laughed and said, "Really, you could have just walked over slowly. I'm not going to run."
"Am I afraid of keeping you waiting?" Xue Fanxing chuckled twice, then noticed someone sitting in front of her. Upon closer inspection, she exclaimed, "Isn't this amazing?"
Qin Zhouyu looked puzzled when she addressed him that way, "What great master?"
“What other kind of genius could he be?” Xue Fanxing raised her chin and pointed to the piano, “A god of piano playing!”
Qin Zhouyu didn't expect her to be even more blunt than Liang Qing, and he was speechless for a long time.
Finally, he only whispered, "No."
Xue Fanxing slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "What do you mean, 'no'? Didn't you see the look of admiration in everyone's eyes when you finished playing that piece in class the other day?"
Since the misfortune that befell his family, Qin Zhouyu has become less talkative.
When I was studying there, people used to talk to him at first, but later they realized he didn't like to talk, so they rarely interacted with him anymore.
Later, he became obsessed with musical instruments, spending his days playing the piano or violin, and over time, he became even more taciturn.
Now that he's met Xue Fanxing, who's so outgoing, he really doesn't know how to respond. He opened and closed his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing his predicament, Liang Qing quickly stepped in to smooth things over, tapping Xue Fanxing's forehead and saying, "You've scared her."
Xue Fanxing realized she had gotten a little too excited and scratched her head, saying, "Sorry, I got too excited, but you are this one."
Qin Zhouyu looked up and saw her giving him a thumbs up, and he was stunned for a second.
Seeing the two of them like this, Liang Qing chuckled and said, "Alright, stop teasing him. Let's go eat."
Xue Fanxing rubbed her stomach and said with a smile, "Oh yeah, I'm really hungry too. Well then, I'll stop chatting with you now and go."
Qin Zhouyu nodded stiffly.
Suddenly, Liang Qing remembered something and asked him, "Are you staying at the hotel?"
"No, I live at home."
Liang Qing took Xue Fanxing's hand and nodded, "Alright then."
Qin Zhouyu asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Liang Qing smiled and said, "I was also thinking that if you're staying at the hotel, you can come eat with us, and we can recommend some good restaurants to you. But since you're staying at home, you can go home for dinner."
Looking at her smile, Qin Zhouyu felt a strange emotion rise in his heart, which made him abruptly turn his face away.
He looked down at the piano keys and said, "Okay, thank you, you can go now."
