Because of its proximity to Kyoto University of the Arts, several affiliated high schools for arts schools have been established in the surrounding area.

There are many students in the art department, especially music students.

The girl practicing piano in the boutique is a student at the art-affiliated secondary school.

The beautiful female boss had no time to look after her daughter when guests arrived.

"Are you two interested in looking at children's clothing?"

"Our children's clothing and shoes are all from major brands and are suitable for children aged 3 to 15."

As she spoke, she led Yang Xue and Gao Linlin inside.

Yang Xue smiled and nodded, then looked around.

This boutique is larger than the store itself, with the outer room measuring over 40 square meters and the inner room appearing to be around 20 square meters.

When the little girl practicing the piano saw her mother greeting the guests, she took out her phone and started watching videos.

She looked to be about 12 or 3 years old, with a ponytail on her head, fair skin, and delicate features.

The girl's clean clothes and sneakers showed that she was well taken care of by her family.

Yang Xue came to buy shoes, so she naturally moved closer to the shoe display rack.

Yang Xue frowned slightly when she saw the price on the label.

The cheapest shoes are priced at 688...

Most shoes are priced at 1688, 988, or 788.

The price of a pair of shoes was comparable to that of an outfit, and Yang Xue even considered checking the online prices on her phone.

The boss stepped forward and explained:

"Compared to other brands, our children's shoes are a little pricey."

"But it's a major international brand, guaranteeing quality and quantity. Under normal circumstances, it can last at least 3 years without human damage."

"If any quality issues arise within one year, you can return or exchange the item free of charge upon presentation of the receipt."

Seeing the shopkeeper's confident tone, Yang Xue picked up a pair of nice children's shoes and examined them closely.

As the other party said, the quality of the shoes is indeed better than those of the other brands.

Of course, money is good too.

Yang Xue suddenly realized that the icon on the shoe was Zhizhi's favorite cartoon character.

Seeing the little girl's delighted expression, he cherished the shoes in his hands even more.

If it were before, she would have accepted it even if it was a little more expensive.

The problem is, she doesn't have that much money.

"He just said some stubborn and harsh words, it's really too embarrassing for him to ask Gao Linlin for a loan now..."

"But Zhizhi will be performing on stage the day after tomorrow, and these shoes are perfect for her..."

The boss is very good at business.

Noticing Yang Xue's hesitation, she quickly stepped forward and said:

"Young lady, you have excellent taste. These shoes are the latest and best-selling style this year."

"The online price is also around 738, and it will take two days for logistics."

"I'm about to close up shop. If you want to pack it up now, it'll be 700 yuan."

Gao Linlin seized the opportunity to say:

"Sister Yang, if you don't have enough money in your online bank account, I can help you pay for it."

"Can't you pay me back when you get your salary next month?"

With both of them delivering the finishing blows at the same time, Yang Xue's feelings became even more complicated.

Just then, the boss's daughter suddenly came out of the room, humming and whining.

"Mom, when can we go home? I don't want to practice the piano anymore."

The boss looked troubled upon hearing this, but she managed to suppress her impatience and said:

"Honey, can you practice a little longer? We have an exam the day after tomorrow."

"You don't want to be laughed at by your classmates, do you?"

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately pouted and shouted in annoyance:

"But Teacher Wang isn't teaching me, so I'm completely lost!"

"Mom, you don't know anything about the piano, you have no idea how difficult it is."

Upon hearing this, the boss could no longer contain his suppressed emotions.

"Minmin, what did you promise Mom on Friday night?"

"You've been playing games all day from last night to today, has Mom said anything to you?"

“After lunch this afternoon, when we started practicing the piano, you were on your phone the whole time, just dawdling.”

Did your mother say anything to you?

Upon hearing this, the girl lowered her head and did not respond, but she still seemed unwilling to practice the piano.

The boss's heart softened when he saw his daughter's pitiful expression.

She calmed herself down and said in an almost conciliatory tone:

"Minmin, the soundproofing in our neighborhood is terrible."

"I only have so little time to practice the piano each day."

"Promise Mom, let's just hold on for a little while, okay? Just half an hour."

The girl snorted and returned to her "cell" with difficulty, like a prisoner.

Yang Xue looked at the shoes in her hand, then glanced at the girl's forlorn figure, and a thought began to form in her mind.

She gently placed the shoes on the shelf and then said to the shop owner:

"Actually, the child has already mastered the basics of this piece."

"Her unfamiliarity lies in the transition in the middle section of the piece."

Upon hearing this, the boss was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and asked:

"Sir, do you know anything about the piano?"

Yang Xue's lips curved into a beautiful smile as she said:

"Just a little bit."

"Please let me try to communicate with the child."

Gao Linlin was also somewhat surprised after hearing this. Although she admired Yang Xue's musical talent, she only appreciated her singing ability.

She didn't think Yang Xue, who wasn't a professionally trained musician, could be proficient in any musical instrument.

"Uh... okay..."

"But please be careful, my daughter has a bit of a temper."

After receiving her boss's somewhat skeptical permission, Yang Xue went into the inner room, ignoring the instructions that followed.

The little girl had just tiredly opened the sheet music when she suddenly saw a beautiful, unfamiliar woman walk in, her expression somewhat dazed.

Yang Xue looked at her with a smile and said:

"I just listened to your piano playing. Actually, you played very well. It's amazing that you can play to this level on your own."

"However, you can't handle the transition at the variation point on your own, right?"

The little girl was taken aback at first, then nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

With just two simple sentences, the two people instantly became closer.

It must be said that Yang Xue is very good at putting herself in others' shoes.

She sat down right next to the little girl.

The latter obediently moved to the side, making room for the unfamiliar woman.

The female boss next to her was completely stunned.

After sitting down, Yang Xue did not rush to look at the sheet music or play it.

Instead, he patiently gave the little girl some instructions:

"Listen carefully when I play the piano later."

"While listening, try to feel your own musical expression and fully mobilize your inner musical perception and auditory memory."

"Especially the transitions that you find most troublesome."

"Ok!"

The older sister in front of her was gentle and beautiful. The girl happily responded with an "Mmm" and nodded obediently.

In front of her mother, she was a spoiled and temperamental little princess.

But in front of Yang Xue, she was as obedient as a Kapibal.

Yang Xue, the strongest senior in the music academy in her previous life, then began her performance.

Gao Linlin crossed her arms, her mind filled with questions.

"I wonder how good Sister Yang's piano skills are...?"

"Hey? Sister Yang, aren't you looking at the sheet music?"

"Holy crap! Such skillful technique, and you really only know a little bit, not just a tiny bit...?"

Soon, to the accompaniment of the enchanting melody, Gao Linlin's doubts turned into shock.
