Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1332, Section 552: A Newcomer Enters the Game? Hell from the Start!
As part of the "host" group, Ah Liu was well-prepared this time.

I brought two large suitcases.

"You brought so much stuff?"

Wang Xiaohu and his friends hurriedly packed up and prepared to go to the entrance of the villa to pick up A Liu, but as soon as they went downstairs, they saw A Liu following behind Teacher Tang.

"You'll find out soon enough," Ah Liu said smugly.

Old Tang laughed: "Lunch is at 12:30, don't be late!"

"See you later, Teacher Tang!"

Goodbye, Teacher Tang!

Old Tang handed Liu Fengrui over to the children and left; he and Mu Xin still had a lot of work to do!
Several children accompanied A-Liu upstairs to put away her luggage, and they ran into Zhang Haoyang, who was coming downstairs, in the elevator.

When the three teams of old teammates reunited, Zhang Haoyang was so excited he almost wanted to kiss them.

"Rui, you've finally arrived!"

"Haha, don't panic, I'm here!"

Zhang Haoyang cried out, "Ma Hao can't come!"

Ah Liu exclaimed in surprise: "What's going on? Wasn't he showing off in the group chat last night?!"

Zhang Haoyang sighed, "He texted me this morning saying there was something urgent at home."

Ah Liu: "...It's not something bad, is it?"

Zhang Haoyang: "It seems that the exam for some affiliated high school was moved up. It was very sudden. He had to prepare for the exam. He told us that we must work hard and try not to be at the bottom this time."

Ah Liu: "I'll go pack my luggage first, and we'll talk in detail this afternoon."

Zhang Haoyang: "Bye-bye, goodbye everyone!"

Xiao Bei: Bye-bye!

Stepping out of the elevator, Ah Liu sighed softly, "This year is doomed. Ma Hao not coming is just adding insult to injury."

The more I thought about it, the sadder I became. "It's like a hellish start."

Xiao Bei comforted her, "You're still here!! Don't be discouraged."

Ah Liu: "."

Wang Xiaohu: "Xiao Bei, your language is too vulgar."

Marco: "Ahem."

Ah Liu: "Bei, I'm just a jungler, the main carry! The main carry! The problem is, our main carry hasn't arrived!"

"Miao Hengrui is in Group 1!"

"Liu Ziqian is in Group Two!"

"Even without the racing god from Group Four, Fu Yu alone is enough to overpower all three of us!"

"There's a little star in Group Five!"

"Tiger, why don't you come to our group three?"

Wang Xiaohu: "."

Xiao Che: "They started hurling even harsher insults."

Marco: +1

Wang Xiaohu sneered, "What merit do I have to be in Group Three?"

"Even if I went, it would be a waste of time. Think about last year's listening and melody creation rounds. Even if ten of us joined together, we couldn't beat them, right?"

"Ah, Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon you, Rui, hang in there."

Ah Liu: "Quickly share some information with me, are there any new ruthless characters this time?"

Marco: "Based on the information I've gathered so far, it seems there aren't any. However, there are still two teams that haven't arrived yet, so there might be some powerful figures there. Anyway, there's definitely not many people left on the Sigang side, and you basically know them all."

The children talked as they arrived at the entrance of 308, leaving Xiao Bei's car at the door.

When Ah Liu entered the room, he found himself assigned a bed near the door. "You're ruthless!"

Wang Xiaohu: "Hehe, this was a joint idea of ​​mine and Marco's."

Ah Liu: "I don't believe it!"

Marco: "It was indeed the result of our discussion."

Ah Liu: "Ma Conan, even you have been corrupted by some people."

Marco: "Why don't you look under your pillow first?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Liu lifted his pillow and found a large bag of beef jerky underneath, along with a shiny gold Ultraman card.

"They truly are my two good brothers!"

"Hurry up! You're such a dawdler! We agreed to come together yesterday!"

"+1."

"My bad, my bad, but I also have a surprise for you, it's in the box."

As Liu was about to open one of the boxes, Wang Xiaohu and Marco fell silent as they looked at what was inside.
It seems they won't be looking for food in the middle of the night like they did last year.

"Good job!"

"+1!"

"By the way, what time will Zhizhi arrive?"

"Arlene said 4:30."
-
Lunch was fast food, and the children sat together in small groups.

What you eat isn't important; what matters is the atmosphere.

Almost everyone at each table was discussing the same question: when would Teacher Huang and Teacher Sun arrive?

Everyone is already eagerly anticipating it.

The teachers also had lunch with everyone today, and Ang Lee stayed in the auditorium until almost 1:30 before he finished his work.

When we arrived at the cafeteria, the children had almost finished eating.

How was the meal today?

He came over carrying a fast food meal and asked the children.

Wang Xiaohu: "It tastes better than yesterday's hot pot."

Xiao Bei: "A real teacher!"

Li Anxin sighed, wondering how awful yesterday's hotpot must have been. "Fine, then I'll make you fast food every day."

Several children laughed.

Xiao Che: "Teacher, are you done on your end?"

Ang Lee: "It's over. Only Professor Mu and the others still have some work to finish."

Ah Liu: "Are Senior Sister with Teacher Mu and the others? I haven't seen her at all!"

Ang Lee: "She went to the airport to pick someone up. You guys should rest for a bit and get your energy back. Today won't be easy."

Ah Liu: "Hehe, teacher, can you give us a hint about tonight's games?"

Li Anle: "Will it be a great help to your team?"

A moment of silence fell over the dinner table.

Two seconds later.

"Hahahahaha!"

As the saying goes, official criticism is the most deadly.

After lunch, Xiao Che and Tang Xiaoxing went to a private music room to continue working on the exhibition department's tasks that they hadn't finished that morning.

With less than eighteen hours left until the opening ceremony, they are confident in completing their performance.
-
2:15.

The arrival hall of Huyang Airport.

In the crowd, Senior Sister Ji waited anxiously with her phone in hand; her task today was quite important.

Just then, her phone rang.

"Hey."

A deep female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello!"

Senior Sister Ji exclaimed in surprise: "You're Ruby? You're a woman?!"

There was a series of chuckles on the phone. "Did I ever say I was a man?"

Senior Sister Ji chuckled: "Have you got your luggage? You'll see me when you come out!"

The call was suddenly disconnected.

"Yang yang yang!"

Upon hearing the sound, Senior Sister Ji looked over and saw a fair-skinned girl with long hair and black-rimmed glasses pushing a black suitcase and walking quickly toward her.

He hurried to greet them!

"Wu Yanni, a sophomore majoring in steel watches at the Martial Arts Academy. Just call me Ruby. I like to look a bit cool. Nice to meet you!"

Who would have thought that Ruby, who is always saying "I'm kneeling" in the live stream, is actually a mature and sophisticated woman in real life?

"Welcome, welcome! You can call me Xiao Ji Ayang, thank you for your hard work!"

"It wasn't tiring at all. I didn't expect you to be so much prettier than me!"

"This is the kindest lie I've heard this year."

Hahahaha!

This is probably what it means to be kindred spirits; you can burst into laughter the moment you meet.

"Wait a little while, there's still half an hour until you can draw your sword and reach the Cloud Realm."

"Those two are really something, they actually came together as a group."

"Ba Jian was transferring in the West Market, and coincidentally, he had booked the next train, but neither of them knew it."

"Ah~ is this the wonderful fate?"

"Hahaha."

Have you seen them?

"No, I've only seen photos of swords being drawn."

"Has Bajian ever seen you?" "He probably has. He has the teacher's WeChat, and I'm in the teacher's Moments, but he probably doesn't know which one is me."

"Great! I'll play myself, and I'll play you, how about that?"

moment.

"I think it's perfectly fine."

Hahaha.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Yang received a message from Ba Jian: Sister Yang, we've landed!
Ruby: "Has he heard your voice before?"

"No." Xiao Ji understood and handed over the phone.

Ruby took the phone, coughed, and pressed the voice button: "Okay, Ruby and I will wait for you at the door."
-
at the same time.

Baggage claim area.

The two young men looked at each other.

The one with the more robust physique is Old Man Bajian, while the other one who looks slightly malnourished is You from the Clouds.

Although Bajian had real-life contact with Li An and his team at the Xiaoshao competition, when it comes to online experience, your position in the Sigang live broadcast room is unshakeable.

I'll definitely be there for every single one!
Cloud: "Is Yang Jie's voice really that cold?"

He drew his sword: "I don't know, I've never met her, but she seems quite gentle in the live stream."

Cloud: "Oh no, I'm under pressure."

He drew his sword: "Don't do that, you're putting pressure on me."

Yun Duan: "Are you kidding me? You're the only person here who has met the boss."

He drew his sword: "Isn't it inappropriate to call me 'boss' anymore?"

From the cloud: "Teacher Li."

He drew his sword: "Teacher Li."

When asked about their reasons for signing up for this year's summer camp, although they both became acquainted with No. 4 Piano through live streaming platforms, the final reason they decided to come was that they wanted to experience the real No. 4 Piano Classroom.

Of course, learning and exchanging ideas is also part of it.

Bajian will begin preparing for his graduate thesis recital in the second half of the year, and you, from Yunduan, hope to broaden your horizons and learn more through this summer camp.

As a piano student from the music department of a comprehensive university, he also hopes to take his professional skills to the next level.

As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the exit with the flow of people.

With his sharp eyes, Ba Jian immediately spotted two exceptionally elegant female classmates among the crowd of people picking up passengers.

He drew his sword and said confidently, "The one with long hair must be Yang Jie. She looks as mature as her voice."

You in the Cloud: "So Ruby is a woman??"

He drew his sword: "Damn, you're right. Ruby's a woman?!"

Xiao Ji and Ruby also discovered the two who had drawn their swords at the same time.

As soon as the four met, Ruby's powerful aura made the atmosphere somewhat reserved.

You in the Clouds: "Hello, Sister Yang! I am You in the Clouds, my full name is Fang Hua."

Ba Jian couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard Yun Duan's self-introduction; he had burst out laughing the night before when he heard the name.

"Pfft hahahaha!"

The next second Ruby couldn't hold back either. It wasn't because of the homonym of Fang Hua's name, but because Yun Duan's expression during his self-introduction was just too serious.

Cloud: "??"

Ruby laughed so hard she almost choked. "Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you guys. Welcome, welcome! I'm Ruby, I arrived half an hour earlier than you."

As he spoke, Ruby stretched out both hands.

"I wipe!"

As the two shook hands with Ruby, they glanced at the short-haired girl beside them.

"Sister Yang?"

Xiao Ji grinned and said, "Welcome, both of you!"

He drew his sword: "That's why I sent a voice message earlier."

Cloud-based: "What a wonderful surprise!"

Hahahahaha!
Young people who love music are more likely to bond.

Before they even reached the parking lot, the three of them had already started bringing up old grievances.

Half an hour after the four left, teams from Shanghai and Xiamen arrived at another airport.
-
As they approached Yunxi Villa, Ruby and her two companions were already mesmerized by the view outside the window.

None of the three were first-time visitors to Chengdu, but they were unaware of the sights here.

Cloud: "Sister Yang."

Xiao Ji interrupted her directly: "I'm begging you two. I'm not that old!"

He drew his sword: "Is there anything wrong with Senior Sister? Now that we're in Chengdu, Teacher Li is our teacher, and you are our Senior Sister!"

Ruby: "No problem! Nobody dares to say a word when Sigang mentions my senior sister."

Xiao Ji: "You are all my own brothers and sisters."

Cloud: "Dear sister, can you tell me the plans for tonight? I heard that Teacher Li has a rather frightening alcohol tolerance."

Xiao Ji: "Last night, Professor Novak challenged the teacher to a drinking contest, with baijiu, beer, red wine, and foreign liquor all mixed together."

Drawing his sword: "...The result?"

Xiao Ji: "The teacher got up early to go through the opening ceremony procedures, and Professor Novak seems to have just gotten up."

Ruby got excited: "Tonight?"

Yun Duan: "Senior Sister, is it too late for me to say I'm allergic to alcohol?"

He drew his sword: "Please, Senior Sister, I'm here to learn!"

Hahahaha.

Xiao Jile: "Just kidding with you two. There's no time for drinking tonight. When we arrive, I'll take you to check in first, put down your luggage, and wander around for a bit. Once everyone's here, we'll have dinner."

"As is customary, an icebreaker game is played after the meal."

Cloud: "Oh? That sounds interesting, but can we older kids participate too?"

Xiao Ji: "Sigh, I don't want to participate, but the teacher has already assigned the task, so we have to participate."

He drew his sword: "Does 'we' include the three of us?"

Xiao Ji: "That's right, the four of us plus Zhu Zi, so all five of us will participate in tonight's event."

Ruby: "Does Mangosteen like to eat apples?"

Xiao Ji: "Yes, he came with Teacher Sun from Xiamen. We met in Guangzhou. She's a very cute girl."

Cloud: "Wow!"

Xiao Ji: "Don't be too happy yet. Hopefully we can get through tonight."

He drew his sword: "This? Why does it sound a little scary?"

Xiao Ji: "Last year's icebreaker game had six teams participating, and the competition was fierce. To give you an idea, here's a game question from last year: you had to identify ten chords within one minute, including the third inversion of a diminished seventh chord."

Ruby: "I'll go."

Xiao Ji: "To get a perfect score, you not only have to write the nature correctly, but also every single note."

Cloud: "What the hell!!!"

He drew his sword: "Is it this abstract?! Who can get a perfect score on this?! You'd be proud to even pass!"

Xiao Ji smiled helplessly: "Last year's six teams consisted of one team composed of teachers and five student teams. At that time, the student teams were mostly composed of elementary school students."

"Luckily, we didn't participate in the older age group last year, otherwise we don't know how badly we would have lost."

Cloud: "It can't be that bad."

Xiao Ji: "Last year, Che Lin and Tang Xiaoxing represented their respective teams in the listening competition."

He drew his sword: "I was presumptuous."

Ruby: "Is it this hellish?"

Xiao Ji: "The remaining three children are now two at the National Taiwan University Affiliated High School and one at the National Taiwan University Affiliated Elementary School."

He drew his sword: "And the final result?!"

Xiao Ji: "The teachers' team won by a narrow margin."

Cloud: "Which teacher did you send?"

Xiao Ji: "Teacher Li."

Cloud: "Is it too late for me to switch to drinking at night?"

Xiao Ji: "It's too late, because there are no teachers this year, so do you understand?"

Ruby: "...It can't be."

He drew his sword: "Let us..."

Cloud-based: "Replacement Teacher Team!!!!!!!!!"

Xiao Ji: "Perfect answer."

Silence fell over the car for a moment.

Is this the legendary hellish start?
-
On another bus heading to Yunxi Villa, Xiao Jingchen clutched his backpack tightly to his chest, full of anticipation.

This was his first long journey away from his parents.

Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, he couldn't help but think of Xiaosai's journey.

He was grateful that he had met Teacher Li, Che Lin, and Uncle Nail during that trip.

No, it's Brother Nail.

Haitao: "Kids, isn't Chengdu beautiful?"

next second.

"beautiful!!"

Xiao Jingchen chuckled; he really liked this feeling!
