Connor and Team 7 were walking on the way to the trainees' dormitory.
"BOSS gives us a gift?"
All members of the seventh team were confused. Black Steel's benefits are so good, why should we give some benefits to informal members?
Calculating the time, it is now 12.20...
It's almost Christmas. Jiang Shao is surprised that some of Terra's holidays are consistent with those on Earth.
Thinking about the difference between Christmas and New Year customs for foreigners, Jiang Yan was a little afraid to worry about what the gift would be.
"Is this a Christmas gift?" Hank asked cautiously.
Connor nodded in agreement: "That's right."
A Christmas gift... On Earth, it would be like a New Year's gift from China. A New Year's gift given by your employer...
Ai Luo asked worriedly: "Isn't it firewood, rice, oil, salt and noodles?"
...Jiang Hao began to question the identity of Ai Ruo, a foreign fox. Why is he so down-to-earth?
However, this issue is also what Jiang Yan is worried about. Isn’t that what the company distributes for the New Year?
"Look, this dormitory doesn't have stoves or pots and pans..." Ai Luo continued to talk to himself. It seemed that what he cared about was that he was somewhat different from Jiang Yan.
Connor thought about it seriously for a while and said, "I think according to the nature of BOSS's urine, I can give away at most two items."
This time it was Elle, Nate and Jessica's turn to sneeze silently. I didn't expect that a big boss of an international company would be so stingy. He wouldn't even give away all the ingredients.
"But it probably won't be the ingredients. I think this should be a gift for everyone in the trainee dormitory. Even if there are only two pieces, it wouldn't be too stingy. Let's take a look."
Connor explained with a smile, but when it was Jiang Yan's turn to ask for details, they still pretended to evade and said that they didn't know anything.
However, saying this aroused the interest of the six people in the seventh team. Two gifts for the entire dormitory? What are they?
Everyone looked at the piano and violin placed in the lounge of the dormitory building - no wonder they were gifts to all the trainees.
Nate expressed his approval: "Piano and violin...Learning musical instruments from time to time is very helpful in mastering and connecting with Originium skills. This idea is really good."
The piano is an upright piano. This type may be chosen to save space. A violin is placed in the piano case and leaned against the wall.
Jessica asked, "Nate, have you learned any instruments?"
After all, he seems to be a person with good taste... and Nate masters very exquisite healing spells. So, since he mentioned the auxiliary effect of musical instruments on spells, he should master an instrument.
"I can play the saxophone." Nate smiled sheepishly: "My level is just average."
Well...how can I put it, he's so handsome.
Nate asked Elle again: "Where's Elle? You are the only full-time warlock in our team. Do you know any musical instruments?"
"Erhu."
"Er...hu?" Nate repeated the term in a different way: "Is this a folk musical instrument?"
"Yanguo musical instruments." Ai'er nodded: "I learned them in the University Ensemble Department."
Victoria University still teaches this? Jiang Yan was a little surprised.
Nate said that Elle had never used spells before, but her rapid progress now was probably due to her extraordinary talent, and she might also be able to learn musical instruments quickly. But Elle didn't listen to him, and only remembered her skills when she was learning the erhu, and picked up the violin.
I just want to put it on my lap.
was stopped.
Jiang Yan felt it was a pity that a talented violin and erhu player might have been stopped like this.
But he himself doesn't really believe his own nonsense.
No one here can play the violin, but Jessica did learn the piano a little bit when she was a child, but she said she has almost forgotten it now, so no one can appreciate it.
Now they seem to be happy for nothing - even if they received a gift, no one present would use it.
Jessica remembered something in a daze.
"...Wait a minute, I remember Jiang Yan said that before he lost his memory, he seemed to be..."
"The pianist! And he doesn't just know the piano!"
Nate also remembered this incident, which they had discussed three months ago on the day they first met.
The other three people had never heard Jiang Shao mention this matter. They only knew that he had indeed lost the memory of his original identity. They did not expect that Jiang Shao had such a talent before he lost his memory!
"The opportunity is rare, why don't you show off your skills?" After hearing Jessica and Nate's explanations, Elle was looking forward to it - people who can make a living by this craft are not at all inferior.
"It's all forgotten things... forget it." This makes Jiang Shao a little embarrassed. The person you said can play the piano is Ajiman. What does it have to do with me, Jiang Shao?
The most he could do was to find music and play a little star on the spot - Jiang Yan himself had never learned piano or music, and at most he had learned guitar in his spare time at school.
But he couldn't stand up to the crowd of teammates, so he was forced onto the piano bench.
Hank pushed up his glasses: "As for amnesia, maybe doing some familiar things can help restore memory. Give it a try, maybe it will have an effect?"
...It seemed to be quite reliable. Jiang Yan silently opened the cover of the piano, his hands were hovering, with hollow palms, standing upright above the keys - it really looked like this.
But it felt very awkward to him... He had obviously never learned piano at all, but now he seemed to be extremely familiar with this instrument - from the body memory to some rhythms that he could not describe, they all told him that this was his old friend.
friend.
——There is no doubt that this is the feeling that belongs to Ajman.
But why would he...
Jiang Yan simply closed his eyes and tapped the keys with his fingertips at will - and then, without his control, his hands automatically started "groping" on the piano - from this side to that side, hitting every possible key.
The notes played.
This kind of puppet-like feeling is uncomfortable, but Jiang Yan can't care about that much now. His movements seem to be adjusting the music, but what worries him more is that he is now drowning in a kind of unfounded happiness, and...
...in sadness.
It's as if I'm missing you, as if I'm saying goodbye.
Gently touching every corner that was unfamiliar to him but extremely familiar emotionally, the fluctuations in his heart became more and more intense, but there was nowhere to vent it - Jiang Yan felt all this and knew that he could not vent it.
Emotional reasons——
"He", Ajman, needs a melody.
A string of right melodies...but what exactly is...
Jiang Yan raised his head and said: "I need a melody... It's very familiar, but I can't put it in words - this piece of music seems to be dedicated to someone..."
Dedicated to a lady…
"Für Elise..." Jessica replied softly, "Dedicated to Therese Marfati."
Then, she began to sing softly this famous and widely circulated piano piece——
Ajman's piano sound kept up with this slight humming, and the piano sound gradually became smoother.
No one does not know this beautiful piece of music, just like people who have eaten rice should know rice, and people who have heard piano should have heard "Für Elise".
It's such a sparse and ordinary piece of music, why...Jiang Yan was confused, why is this the melody Akiman is looking for?
The music gradually entered a turning point, and the melody turned from melancholy to short-lived brightness, but the pianist's expression became more and more gloomy, as if he was anxious, as if he was...
cry.
…
The song is over.
There was no applause.
——Jiang Yan's face was already covered with tears.
"Alice Therese Cairnd..."
It's a woman's name, no doubt about it.
The same name as the song.
It even includes the title of the song that was mistakenly spread.
"...Why am I crying...Ajman, you, me...why..."
Tears fell uncontrollably, hitting the keys and fingers - the pianist seemed to slowly leave his chair, but no one could see him.
Jiang Yan heard the familiar voice calling him.
"Thank you, Jiang Yan."
That voice was so gentle that it made you cry.
"...I'm sorry, I probably should have left long ago, but..."
He hesitated to speak.
Then he smiled apologetically.
"Then...everything is left to you."
…
The original name of the song "To Alice" is not that - those who are interested can search it up on their own~
