Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1192 452. Play the two recordings for me! [Next]

Is Tang Xiaoxing really not in good condition?

To Brother Xiaohu, Arlene's words contained two messages.

The first message was that Arlene thought that Tang Xiaoxing's recording did not sound ideal, but Arlene expressed it in a somewhat euphemistic way.

The second message is that Alin seemed to have predicted Tang Xiaoxing's recent condition, and then it was confirmed through this recording, so she used the word "indeed".

Is it not good?
Wang Xiaohu was confused, but did not respond.

I followed Arlin all the way into the west gate of Yunkaiyuan.

The car seemed to want Wang Xiaohu to finish listening, so it slowed down and finally stopped directly in front of the bench next to the small garden.

Seeing Xiaoche sit down, Wang Xiaohu also sat down.

When the recording ended, Wang Xiaohu asked if there were any more. Xiaoche shook his head and said, "Just this one."

Wang Xiaohu: "Chopin's works."

Dolly: "Grand Polonaise."

moment.

"It sounds great." Wang Xiaohu said frankly.

Although he knew that his piano playing was far from being comparable to Arlene's, from an appreciation perspective, he did not think that Tang Xiaoxing's performance was unsatisfactory.

So he wanted to hear what Alinze had to say, "What's wrong with it?"

"I didn't say Xiaoxing played badly," Xiaoche felt that Wang Xiaohu had misunderstood her meaning, "but compared to the one she sent me before, this one seems a little, well, I don't know how to put it, it just sounds awkward."

"She has been practicing this piece for ten weeks. I like the one she recorded before better."

Wang Xiaohu: "Let me listen to the previous one."

Xiaoche: “It was on my previous phone, but not on my new phone.”

Wang Xiaohu: "Well, you guys have been communicating a lot recently."

Xiaoche: "Not much. She has left me fewer messages recently. She only called me before my competition and we talked for ten minutes. At that time, I felt that she was not in a good mood."

Wang Xiaohu: "Is there someone bullying her over there?"

Xiao Che frowned when he heard this. Although, the situation Wang Xiaohu described is not impossible to happen.

With Tang Xiaoxing's personality, he probably wouldn't tell his family even if he was bullied.

Over time, it will naturally affect your piano practice state.

No.

"what?"

Seeing the car suddenly stand up, Wang Xiaohu stood up again immediately.

"Go and wait for Auntie, I have to go upstairs."

Xiaoche wanted to go back and ask Tang Xiaoxing.

In the end, Wang Xiaohu shamelessly said that he wanted to go out from the south gate, and then drove the car to the bottom of Building 40.

"Are you in a hurry to go up and find Tang Xiaoxing?" Wang Xiaohu felt that he should be right.

Xiaoche: "Well, bye, see you next week."

Wang Xiaohu waved his hand: "See you next week."

After a pause, "If she replies to you, please let me know."

Xiaoche nodded and walked into the unit door with a heavy heart.

Then Wang Xiaohu also staggered towards the street lights at the South Gate.

He knew that Xiaoche was absent-minded at night and must have something on his mind.

It’s really Arlene, she is so loyal.

In fact, he also wanted to ask Tang Xiaoxing, but for some reason he was worried that Alin would misunderstand something.

Hey.

If Arlene knew that she would soon be going abroad, would she be worried about being bullied?
He guessed Arlene must be worried about him too.

Oh, I pray that time will go a little slower.

Compared with his mood in the previous two weeks, Wang Xiaohu's mood is indeed more stable this week.

In the first two weeks, he felt like he was really going to die soon, and every day he was immersed in a state of being about to lose everything.

Now calculating, he actually still has more than half a year.

"I will definitely become a real conductor."

"What do you think, Arlene?"

"I'm sure you think I can be a real conductor."

"You'll become a real pianist, too."

"Hey."

“I have to smile more.”

"Otherwise mom will worry."

Brother Xiaohu passed under the street light muttering to himself.

The street lights stretched his shadow longer and longer. After a while, a black kitten suddenly appeared under the street light as Wang Xiaohu passed by, and then dived into the grass.

The night returned to tranquility.
-
"Grandpa, I'm back."

After opening the door and entering the house, Xiaoche greeted Lao Li who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Although Li An told Lao Li not to cook dinner for Xiao Che in the morning, how could Lao Li not leave some food for Xiao Che?

"Linlin, do you want to eat something?"

"I'm full and not hungry at all. Grandpa, please continue watching TV. I'm going back to the house."

"Come inside and rest."

Old Li continued watching TV happily.

When the car entered the house, he sent a message to Li An.

Xiaoche sent a message to Tang Xiaoxing before putting down his bag when he returned to the house.

She wasn't sure Tang Xiaoxing would reply to her message soon.

Although it is afternoon now, the other party may be practicing the piano.

As a result, as soon as Xiaoche put down his schoolbag, the mobile phone on the desk lit up.

She quickly picked up her phone, opened it and saw that it was a message from her teacher.

Teacher: We’re home.

Xiaoche quickly edited and replied: Uh-huh! Teacher, I just came into the room. Teacher, are you drinking?
Teacher: I took two sips.
The car flips out a threatening little expression and clicks send.

Teacher: Hahaha, I told you it’s just a drink, check your bag and go to bed early.

Xiaoche: Hmm! Teacher, can I not drink milk today? I ate a lot of food at Wang Xiaohu’s house and now my stomach is full.

Teacher: Okay, take a rest and get ready for bed. If you feel hot, turn on the air conditioner.

Xiaoche: Yes! Good night, teacher!

Teacher: Good night.

After holding the phone and waiting for a while, seeing that Tang Xiaoxing still hadn't replied to the message, Xiaoche estimated that he would not receive any message from Tang Xiaoxing today.

"Oh, I hope Wang Xiaohu is a crow's mouth."

According to her experience, in this situation, she would usually receive a reply from Tang Xiaoxing as soon as she woke up.

Usually the car has to do three things before going to bed.

Scoop the poop for 80,000 little white guys.

Wash up.

Say goodnight to teacher grandpa.

After finishing these three things and returning to the cabin, Xiaoche got on the bed and picked up her phone to browse for another five minutes before turning it off. However, a message from six minutes ago made her perk up again. Wang Xiaohu: Good night, Alin! We all need to cheer up!

This suddenly
But judging from the content of the information, it is still full of sunshine, which is very good.

Xiaoche: Good night, good night! Let’s work hard together! Xiaoxing didn’t reply to me

Five minutes later, the car shut down and went to sleep.
-
Not long after the car was turned off, at 4:40 pm Berlin time, Tang Xiaoxing picked up the phone from the piano.

Seeing that Che Lin had sent her a message forty minutes ago, she immediately clicked on it.

moment.

Xiao Xiaoxing: Linlin, I just finished practicing the piano. Are you asleep?

After replying to Che Lin, Tang Xiaoxing's mood suddenly brightened.

Ten minutes later, she placed her phone on the music stand and continued practicing the piano.

On the always-on phone screen is a chat box with the car.
-
At 6:30 the next morning in Yanjing time, the first thing Xiaoche did when he opened his eyes was to open his cell phone.

Xiaoche: Ah!! I can just sleep a little later! Good morning, Xiaoxing! Do you have time this afternoon? I want to chat with you!

There was no way he would receive a reply from Tang Xiaoxing at this time, so Xiaoche replied the message and got up to wash up.

The father and son had breakfast together and then went out together.

Lao Li went to the park and Xiaoche went to school.

Although the morning passed in a flash, a few small things still happened.

In fact, everything revolves around Xiaoche’s online concert on Saturday night.

After campus concerts and then online concerts, Xiaoche has now truly become the top star in Shipo.

However, this did not bring any psychological burden to Xiaoche.

Like Wang Xiaohu, Xiaoche had calmed down by this Monday, compared to the anxiety caused by his "rising fame" in the previous two weeks.

Let it be what it is.

Don't be arrogant or impatient, keep a low profile.

Although we are low-key, we still have to take action when the time is right.

A senior girl from Class 2-3 who played the guzheng took the initiative to find her during the break and wanted to perform a show with her.

What this senior student probably meant was that she wanted Xiaoche to play the accompaniment.

The car responded immediately.

First, this way the performance has another program.

Second, the senior said that they only used their spare time at school to rehearse.

As soon as the school bell rang, Xiaoche rushed home to practice the piano.

However, when she got home, she saw on her phone that Tang Xiaoxing had sent her a message thirteen minutes ago.

Xiao Xiaoxing: Good morning, Linlin! This afternoon I am going to a concert with my professor. It will take about two hours and we will be back quite late. What time do you go to bed at night?
The time displayed on the information is 11:57!

She had learned in geography class that it was daylight saving time now, which meant that Tang Xiaoxing sent this message to her at 05:57 local time in Berlin.

Xiaoche immediately replied: "Xiaoxing, why are you up so early? I just got home from school."

Tang Xiaoxing replied immediately: Linlin, why did you get out of school so early at noon? I couldn’t sleep, so I woke up.

Car: Normal school time is 12 o'clock. The main reason is that the school is close to the teacher's home. I usually get home in 15 minutes.
Xiaoche: Why can’t you sleep? Is there something on your mind?

Then the car sent another emoji of a little rabbit eating a carrot.

Xiao Xingxing replied with the same rabbit fainting expression, and then did not continue the conversation: Linlin, are you going to have lunch?

Xiaoche: Well, do you want to get up now?

Little Star: I can’t pay it back, go and have your meal!

Xiaoche: It’s okay. I can chat with you while eating. The teacher is not at home today.

Little Star: Hahaha! No one will say anything to you when Teacher Li is not around!

The car sent a proud expression of a little rabbit.

"Linlin, it's time to eat!"

"Here I come! Grandpa, I want to chat with a good friend abroad. I can eat and watch my phone at the same time."

"Just look at it."

Old Li really doesn't spoil his child. He also took out his mobile phone and started browsing.

The grandfather and grandson just started eating while playing with their phones.

Xiaoche took the initiative for the second time: Xiaoxing, are you worried about something? You woke up so early. I didn’t get enough sleep.

Xiaoche didn't know that Tang Xiaoxing actually woke up at 4:30.

Little Star: Linlin, I want to go home
Xiaoche: Aren’t you going to come back next month? Can’t wait? Or has something unhappy happened recently?

Little Star: There’s nothing to make me unhappy, I just want to go home. I can probably only stay there for about ten days this time.

Xiaoche: Ten days is indeed a bit short, but you can have a good rest. No one will bully you or anything, right?
Little Star: No one bullies me. The teachers and aunties here are very nice to me, and the brothers and sisters also take good care of me.
call.

Xiaoche felt relieved to see Xiaoxing say this. It seemed that he was just missing home.

Xiaoche was hesitating whether to say that he was going to Yanjing next month. Logically, Xiaoxing should know that he was going to Yanjing next month to hold a concert.

But judging from Xiaoxing's message, it seems that he doesn't know that he will go to Yanjing next month.

She was hesitating.

Little Star: Linlin, did you listen to the recording I sent you yesterday morning?
Xiaoche: I heard it! Great!

Little Star: Really? Linlin, don’t lie to me. Everyone says it’s great, but I think it’s terrible. I feel like I can’t play the piano anymore.
Then the car saw a sighing little rabbit expression pop up in the dialog box.

It turned out to be the case.

Xiao Che probably understood why Xiaoxing gave her the feeling that he was full of worries. At the same time, she once again confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with Xiaoxing's condition.

After a moment she put down her chopsticks and said, "Grandpa, you eat first."

Old Li didn't even raise his head: "Don't worry about me, just do your thing."

Xiaoche: How could it be so bad? You played really well. Last night I played your recording to Wang Xiaohu and he also said it was great! Don’t put so much pressure on yourself.

Xiao Xiao Xing: Linlin, I’m not lying to you. I really feel like I can’t play the piano anymore. I always fail to meet the professor’s requirements, but he always says that I’m doing very well. I don’t know what’s good about it. I’m very confused.

Xiaoche scratched his head, it seemed that Xiaoxing’s problem was very serious.

She understood what Xiaoxing meant. When she put herself in his shoes, she felt a sense of oppression.

I don’t know where I am good at, in other words, I don’t know where I am bad at.

This is equivalent to completely losing the goal and direction of practice.

But think about it again, if the teacher said she had no problem, then she might not have worried too much about herself.

Because she believed in her teacher.

What about Xiaoxing?

moment.

Xiaoche: Xiaoxing, please don’t mind if I ask you a question.
Xiao Xiao Xing: Linlin, you ask
Xiaoche: Do you trust your current teacher?
a long time.

Little Star: I don’t believe it

The car was startled.

Little Star: The professor never told me what I did wrong, but he kept asking me to revise. I don’t like him doing this. It’s not that I don’t want to revise, I just want to know why I have to revise like this. He only said that I will understand it later.
Xiaoche: But the professor is still very nice to you.
Little Star: Yes
Xiao Che understood why the Polonaise he heard yesterday sounded like that: you have your own ideas and want to play it according to your own ideas, but the professor asked you to play it according to the professor's ideas, but the professor didn't tell you why it was like that.

Xiaoche: So you are very distressed. You have to play according to the professor's ideas, but at the same time you can't help but add your own ideas. Because the professor has never really denied your own ideas, you don't know how to play, right?
Little Star: That’s it! Only you, Linlin, understand me! !

Xiaoche: Just like the recording you sent me yesterday
Little Star: It's really not good, right? Linlin, you don't have to comfort me
Xiaoche: It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just that this doesn’t sound like what you play at all. This is not the music that the Xiaoxing I know should play.
Little Star: Then Linlin, what do you think I should do?

Xiaoche: Record it again, play it exactly as you want, and then take the recording to tell the professor that you would like to play it this way.
Little Star: I dare not

Xiao Che thought about it and thought that maybe the teacher had spoiled her too much all along, but today she was determined to do it. She really couldn't bear to see Xiao Xing continue like this.

Then she sent Xiaoxing the impromptu fantasy she recorded on Saturday.

Xiaoche: This is the last piece of music I will perform at Saturday’s concert. I haven’t practiced it well at all. You will understand what I mean if you listen to it. But it doesn’t matter. There is nothing to be afraid of. Playing the piano is just playing. Just play it and it’s done! Come on, Xiaoxing!!!
