During the activity class on Friday afternoon, Jian Yao took Lu Yan to the entertainment classroom in the student activity center, where the school anniversary chorus - "Night at the Military Port" was being rehearsed.

As soon as she arrived in the corridor, Lu Yan heard that the piano sound could not keep up with the rhythm of the chorus, and the entire chorus sounded very unsmooth.

At the door of the classroom, she heard the instructor say to a girl: "Jiang Yiyi, you sang the phrase 'The sea breeze blows gently' again a beat slower, intermittently, and the entire coordination was affected."

Jiang Yiyi said helplessly: "Teacher, it's not my problem, it's the music's problem. I always follow the melody of the music."

After she finished speaking, she glanced resentfully at Shu Mengfei at the piano.

Shu Mengfei immediately apologized to the teacher: "Teacher Zou, I am really sorry. Although I have practiced hard, I still can't keep up with the rhythm. But don't worry, I will definitely be able to practice well during the competition."

Her attitude made Teacher Zou feel very useful, so he comforted Shu Mengfei in turn: "It doesn't matter, the important thing is to participate, as long as you work hard."

After Teacher Zou finished speaking, he glanced at the girls present again and said reproachfully: "Look at Shu Mengfei's attitude, and then look at your attitude. I have said that this chorus is not just about singing.

It's so simple. The most important thing is that you must have the spirit of unity and cooperation. This is the meaning of chorus. Instead of complaining here, you should learn more from Shu Mengfei."

None of the girls took it seriously, and some even rolled their eyes.

Teacher Zou patted Shu Mengfei on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If it really doesn't work, we will play music accompaniment when you go on stage. Just show off and it will be fine."

These words played into Shu Mengfei's plan, and she immediately assured the teacher: "Teacher Zou, I will practice hard!"

At the door, Jian Yao whispered to Lu Yan: "Now you know why she can stay in the choir even though she can't play the piano."

Lu Yan nodded.

She has seen Shu Mengfei's skills a long time ago. No matter what era he is in, Shu Mengfei, a soft and frail and "inspirational and hardworking" little white flower character, will always be popular and popular.

Jian Yao pushed the door open, pulled Lu Yan into the classroom, and said to Teacher Zou: "Teacher, I found a classmate who can play the piano. How about you let her try it."

The moment Shu Mengfei saw Lu Yan, her face became extremely ugly.

Of course, Teacher Zou knows Lu Yan. In the last Rookie Cup competition, Lu Yan took the lead and won the first place. Her sweet and moving voice, which was like the sound of nature, impressed him very much.

"This is classmate Lu Yan, can you play the piano?"

Lu Yan responded: "I can, teacher."

Jian Yao didn't wait for Teacher Zou to answer, and immediately pushed Lu Yan to the piano, pulled away Shu Mengfei, helped Lu Yan's shoulders to sit down, and said: "No matter what, I'm here, let's try it first,"

"Night at the Military Port", can you play it?"

"As long as you have the music score."

"some."

Jian Yao found the music score from the shelf, enthusiastically placed it in front of Lu Yan, and whispered to her: "Come on, kill her."

Lu Yan looked at the music score, placed her fingers on the keys, and played the prelude melody skillfully and smoothly.

The girls in the choir also started to hum along with the tune. The girl in charge of the conductor immediately waved her arms, so the girls relaxed their voices and sang along with the melody.

The first time we sang together, there was no interruption at all. From the beginning to the end, no one sang slower or faster.

The first time they cooperated so well, I think it was because Lu Yan maintained a good rhythm and didn't stumble like Shu Mengfei.

After it was over, Jian Yao quickly asked Teacher Zou: "Teacher, what do you think?"

"Well, classmate Lu Yan plays the piano very well."

"That......"

Shu Mengfei saw Teacher Zou looking embarrassed and seemed to be a little shaken. She quickly said: "Teacher, it would be great if Lu Yan is willing to help. I will ask her for advice. If she is willing to teach me, school anniversary

I will definitely try my best to play this piece of music smoothly."

The girls in the choir had dissatisfied looks on their faces. It was obvious that Jian Yao did not bring Lu Yan here to teach Shu Mengfei how to play the piano.

Seeing Shu Mengfei say this, Teacher Zou also frowned.

On the one hand, it would be great if Lu Yan could play the piano for this chorus. She can take up the position with almost no need to adjust. With this strong support, the chorus will definitely have a head start on the school anniversary.

But on the other hand, as a teacher, he couldn't bear to dampen the students' enthusiasm. After all, Shu Mengfei seemed to really want to play the piano at the school anniversary.

Although she is not very capable, she works hard!

Not only Teacher Zou, but all teachers like students who work hard and make progress like this.

Teacher Zou asked tentatively: "Lu Yan, are you willing to teach Shu Mengfei..."

"I don't want to." Lu Yan refused.

She has been pampered by her father since she was a child. She always speaks her mind directly, never beats around the bush or deliberately tries to please.

"Mr. Zou, I have a very tight study schedule and don't have much time to teach others. And piano is not just a matter of two lessons, it can be mastered after a few days of practice. I have been exposed to piano since I was eight years old, and I have contact time almost every day.

More than two hours.”

She glanced at Shu Mengfei and said calmly: "If you want to present a better version of yourself on stage, you can only take a down-to-earth path. There are no shortcuts."

You can't just show off your cleverness and get through it.

Jian Yao hugged her elbows, leaned against the piano, and said casually: "The audience is not stupid. They can tell with one ear whether it is real playing or accompaniment."

As the instructor of the Culture and Entertainment Department, Teacher Zou certainly hopes that this school anniversary chorus will come to a successful conclusion and does not want any accidents to happen.

After considering the pros and cons, he could only turn around and said to Shu Mengfei: "Classmate Shu Mengfei, I know you work very hard, but let Lu Yan do the piano performance this time."

Shu Mengfei's eyes showed disappointment, and her eyes were red. She pursed her lips and nodded aggrievedly: "Teacher Zou, I know that Lu Yan plays the piano better than me. It doesn't matter what I do about this kind of thing."

Even if you don’t work hard, only those who are capable will live in it, I understand..."

The girls around her rolled their eyes when they saw her gritted teeth and pursed lips, and their eyes almost rolled to the sky. But when the boys in the choir saw Shu Mengfei's pitiful appearance, they all became extremely soft-hearted, and their protectiveness rose up -

—

"Obviously Shu Mengfei has been appointed before, so it wouldn't be good to just replace him casually."

"Yes, teacher, I think Shu Mengfei plays very well, but I can't tell the difference anyway."

The girls immediately retorted: "Come on, she can't even play a complete tune, how can there be no difference? Wang Qiang, your butt is too crooked."

Wang Qiang muttered: "Originally, Shu Mengfei is so pitiful, so let her play the piano."

Jian Yao sneered and said: "Wang Qiang, if you think she is pitiful, go to the college entrance examination on her behalf and help her get into Tsinghua University and Peking University, so that she won't be pitiful."

The boy named Wang Qiang blushed and had no choice but to shut up.

Teacher Zou looked at Shu Mengfei, whose eyes were filled with tears, and then at Lu Yan, and was caught in a dilemma.

Lu Yan shrugged and said, "Teacher Zou, since classmate Shu Mengfei insists on it, let her play."

She turned to leave, but the girls immediately gave up and said, "In that case, we won't sing anymore. If the boys want to sing, just follow her tune."

Teacher Zou still hoped that the choir could perform better at the school anniversary, so he said: "Well, classmate Lu Yan, you will still be responsible for playing the piano. I have worked hard for you these past few days, classmate Shu Mengfei.

If you are willing, just stay in the choir and work with everyone to sing the song "Night at the Military Port"."

Shu Mengfei's face darkened. Of course she didn't want to be drowned in the choir.

She either didn't do it, or if she wanted to do it, she had to be the one that attracted everyone's attention, so she immediately rejected Teacher Zou's proposal.

Walking out of the activity center, Jian Yao said to Lu Yan: "Shu Mengfei, who thinks she's smart, is actually stupid as hell. Does she really think that Teacher Zou will really let her come on stage just because she misbehaves casually?"

Lu Yan looked at Jian Yao in confusion.

"I couldn't find a more suitable candidate before, but now that you are here, Teacher Zou will not let her come on stage no matter what, because this school anniversary chorus is directly related to the teacher's year-end bonus. This is an issue of direct interest. Even if Teacher Zou

If you are inclined towards her in your heart, you will definitely put your interests first."

In the past, Lu Yan looked at her mother's yellowed photos and thought her mother was a particularly innocent girl. But now, she discovered that this girl who can be called "Master Jian" by a group of unruly teenagers is definitely not an inexperienced person in the ivory tower.

Innocent girl.

She came into contact with society very early and has a deep understanding of human nature.

However, how did such a cool girl, who looked absolutely incompatible with her stupid big dad, create sparks with Lu Zhen and fall in love so earth-shatteringly that Lu Zhen would never forget her for the rest of his life.

Lu Yan is really curious about what happened between them.

After school, Shen Kuo rarely came to the classroom door to find Lu Yan.

Lu Yan's class wasn't over yet, so he simply stood by the corridor, waiting patiently for her.

Many girls noticed Shen Kuo.

He was wearing a crisp white shirt, his slender arms were casually tucked into his trouser pockets, and he was leaning lazily on the corridor railing. The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded his broad profile, and his brown eyes were slightly pale in the sun.

.

He had no expression, and there was an inexplicable coldness all over his body.

In class, most of the girls always glanced at Shen Kuo intentionally or unintentionally, and their attention was all attracted to him.

A boy like Shen Kuo, no matter in character or temperament, deviates too far from the mainstream aesthetics. Therefore, girls always say that this is not good for him and that is not good...

But in fact, when he burst into their sights so unexpectedly, they still couldn't help but feel like they were in a state of shock.

Shen Kuo exudes fatal attraction, but he is not like Lu Zhen, who is so handsome that the sun shines brightly on him.

He's the kind of cold-blooded person...one expression or even one look in his eyes can make people dizzy and give them the feeling of first love.

Soon, the bell rang for the end of get out of class. Lu Yan could no longer sit still. She packed up her small schoolbag and rushed towards Shen Kuo like a bird in the forest...

She wore a clean light T-shirt with black trousers and a scorpion tail, which was refreshing and everyday.

Perhaps because of the poor air circulation in the classroom, her cheeks had a hint of blush, and her earlobes were also flushed. She was so cute.

Shen Kuo's expression softened unconsciously, he stretched out his index finger and touched the little girl's eyebrows, keeping a few steps away from her.

"Well..." Lu Yan didn't know why.

Shen Kuo looked around, gave her an uplifting look, then turned and left.

Lu Yan understood the meaning in his eyes.

He asked her to follow him, but not to be too obvious and to keep a little distance.
