Chapter 58: Play the Piano for Me Again

“I’ve already let you listen to the recording, so how could I conspire with Mei Mu to deceive you?” Li Hua, feeling frustrated that she still didn’t believe her, became increasingly agitated and racked her brain to find a way to gain her trust.

“Otherwise, otherwise, I’ll take action first!” Li Hua hesitated repeatedly, and suddenly her eyes lit up with a brilliant idea. “I know how to deal with her now. I’ll take action, but you have to promise me that after I take action, we’ll work together to bring her down! You can’t help her target me!”

Mei Shu’s heart bloomed with joy, but her face remained calm. “Alright, let’s do it that way. I’ll wait for your good news.”

After saying that, Mei Shu turned and walked away, paying no attention to what Li Hua might be plotting.

At the entrance of the classroom, Lu Yan was indeed waiting for her.

“Where did you go? I thought you had something and went home early,” Lu Yan said, heaving a sigh of relief upon seeing her. He then recalled the incident at the school gate in the morning, and his body couldn’t help but tense up. “No one bothered you again today, right? Did that Mei Mu cause you any trouble?”

“No, it’s quiet for now. Let’s focus on studying first. We have a tight schedule and heavy tasks. I’ll rely on you, the top student, to help me!” Mei Shu smiled and walked with him towards the library.

Lu Yan’s face showed a hint of a smile. “Why be so polite with me? By the way, I heard that the school will soon hold a piano competition. I remember you used to play the piano when you were little. Are you interested in giving it a try?”

“I’ll pass. Studying is my priority now. Participating in the competition won’t make much difference in these three months.” Mei Shu didn’t even consider the idea.

Although her piano skills had improved rapidly thanks to the system, it didn’t mean she wanted to show them off.

Right now, the most important thing for her was to get into a prestigious university in the capital.

Lu Yan didn’t insist on her participating in the competition. He brought it up for another reason.

As he thought about his intention, a deeper smile appeared in his eyes. The usually cold and aloof person suddenly smiled, as if even ice and snow could melt. “Do you remember when you used to practice the piano, you always had a troubled expression? I asked you to play the piano for me, and you pretended to hit me, but then Aunt Bai caught us, and you almost got punished.”

“I remember, of course I remember.”

Recalling their childhood antics, Mei Shu’s expression softened.contemporary romance

Back then, her mother was still there. Although she was very strict with her, having her around meant there was a place she could call “home” and find warmth whenever she needed it.

But now…

Seeing the disappointment in her eyes, Lu Yan quickly changed the subject. “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard you play the piano. How about now? Just play one piece for me, and then we can start studying.”

“Sure.”

Lu Yan had done so much for her, and he was only making this small request. How could Mei Shu refuse?

Side by side, they walked happily until they reached the piano room.

At this time, school was over and most of the teachers had already gone home, so the piano room was empty.

Mei Shu put down her backpack and sat down on the chair, choosing a long and melancholic piece. She glanced at the sheet music only once and memorized it in her mind.

Soon, the melodious sound of the piano filled the entire room.

Lu Yan leaned against the piano, closing his eyes and attentively listening to the piece.

It was said that being able to recognize each other’s piano playing made them kindred spirits.

Suddenly, Lu Yan thought to himself, could he be considered half of Mei Shu’s kindred spirit now?

At least he could tell how much she missed the joyful days of the past.

She was missing Bai Ling.

The melancholic emotions in the music were tear-inducing. Even a big man like Lu Yan felt his nose tingling, his chest feeling heavy and uncomfortable. Suddenly, he wanted to hold this seemingly strong but actually fragile girl in his arms and comfort her.

The thought startled him.

Both of them were no longer children now, and there were differences between men and women. They couldn’t play around without any worries like they did when they were young.

Why did he suddenly have the urge to hug her?

Lu Yan’s face turned red, and his heart was beating so fast that he couldn’t concentrate on the music anymore. He was lost in his own thoughts, completely unaware of someone who had appeared at the door.

It was only when the piece finished and the crisp applause echoed at the entrance that both of them noticed Zhao Min, the piano teacher, standing there.

“Mei Shu, you played so well. Your piano technique is skilled, and your playing is full of emotions. You can be called a naturally gifted pianist. I wonder if you’re interested in representing the school in the piano competition?”

Mei Shu immediately stood up from the chair and humbly lowered her head. “I’m sorry, teacher, but right now I’m focusing on studying and don’t want any distractions.”

“That’s a pity. The school happens to have one spot, and I really wanted to give it to you,” Zhao Min sighed deeply. She took another look at Mei Shu and thought about the enchanting piece she had just played, unwilling to give up as she persuaded, “Why don’t you think about it again? With your current level, it wouldn’t require much time to practice..”
