Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1333, Section 553: Conflict? The Prelude to the Reunion Concerto

As lunchtime approached, members of each team had already gathered in the parking lot.

The arrival of Ji Yang and his three companions caused quite a stir.

The teams from other places didn't know much about it, but the children from Sigang knew that three special contestants would be coming to participate in the summer camp.

Hello everyone!

"Linlin, it's been a long time!"

"Hello everyone, I'm a newbie, Yun Duan. Please go easy on me tonight!"

Ruby and his two companions greeted the children warmly.

Xiao Che and Xiao Bei also returned the warm greetings to their three older brothers and sisters, who were all old acquaintances.

With the introduction of Senior Sister Ji, the two groups of people officially got to know each other.

"I never imagined that Ruby was actually a woman..."

Ruby overheard Wang Xiaohu's whispered words and burst into laughter. "Shouldn't the older sister be a man? Xiaohu, you seem more nervous than you are in the live stream."

"I didn't..." Wang Xiaohu pouted, "I thought you were some kind of creepy old man!"

Ruby: "Actually, I'm just a creepy old man, are you scared?"

Hahahahaha.

Senior Sister Ji: "Alright, alright, stop teasing him."

After a pause, he said, "We'll go check in first, see you at the restaurant later."

Qiao Zhizhi: "See you later, everyone!"

Ruby: See you later, darlings!

Xiao Bei: "Bye-bye, sister!"

Ah Liu: "Brother Yun Duan, you still owe me a piece of chocolate."

Cloud: "Huh?! So you want to break up with your homework! Then who's the pillar of sunshine?"

Marco raised his hand: "Hey, Brother Yun Duan, you're much more handsome than I imagined."

Cloud: "Thank you! I have another question. Am I much cooler than when I draw my sword?!"

He drew his sword: "Ah, yes, yes, you're the coolest!"

Hahahaha!

Senior Sister Ji: "Let's go, let's go!"

Just then, a blue minibus pulled up.

Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

The first person to get off the car was Fu Yu.

The car and the four group members immediately surrounded it.

It had been a year since I last saw him, and Fu Yu had grown quite a bit taller.

Wang Xiaohu followed and said, "Hi!"

"Wang Xiaohu!"

Fu Yu's expression became even more excited upon seeing Wang Xiaohu, which made the group of four seem slightly "dissatisfied"!
As one familiar or unfamiliar face after another got off the car, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more lively.

"Women's team!" Xu Jiaxing hadn't even finished speaking.

As soon as someone called out "Old Fan," DouDou, Marco, and the others shouted it again.

The scene resembled a family reunion.

Just like yesterday, the new members quickly integrated into the atmosphere after being introduced by the accompanying veteran members.

Just when everyone thought everyone had arrived, a quiet boy carrying a black backpack got off the bus behind three teachers.

Liu Ziqian, with his sharp eyes, was the first to spot him, then looked surprised, thinking to himself, "Why is he here too?!"

Someone called out "Xiao Jingchen" first, and instantly all the children waiting for the bus looked towards the door.

Everyone is very familiar with this name; he just won first place in Group C of the China Division of this year's Xiao Xiao Competition.

"It's really him."

"So he beat Che Lin? That's amazing."

The whispers from the crowd reached Sigang, causing the Rongcheng gang members to immediately show their displeasure.

Xiao Che had no idea that Xiao Jingchen was back this time. Just as he was about to go up and greet him, he noticed that Xiao Bei's eyes had changed.

She quickly tugged at Xiao Bei's arm, signaling him not to worry about it.

Xiao Jingchen saw Che Lin immediately and ran over to greet her with a big smile.

"Long time no see, Che Lin!"

Wang Xiaohu was already annoyed, so he stepped forward and blocked half of the car with his body.

Seeing this, Xiao Che sighed, wondering why the teacher hadn't told her sooner. She could have told everyone in advance. She knew everyone was furious about the final result of the Xiao Jingchen competition, and that Xiao Jingchen had won first place again.

Seeing that Xiao Jingchen was about to run over, Xiao Che reached out and poked Wang Xiaohu in the lower back.

Taking advantage of the moment Wang Xiaohu turned around, she stepped in front of him.

"Long time no see, the teacher didn't even tell me you were coming."

Little did Xiao Jingchen know that he had become the target of everyone's criticism. He stopped in front of the car with a smile and said, "I specifically asked my dad and Teacher Li not to tell you. Hehe, we finally meet again."

He sighed again, "On our way back from Warsaw, we were saying that if you had gone, we wouldn't have failed to get a place."

Xiao Che: "No way, you all played so well."

Xiao Jingchen shook his head: "It's far too bad."

Wang Xiaohu's anger had just flared up when Xiao Jingchen's subsequent words suppressed his resentment.

To him, the first part of the other person's statement sounded like the regret of a victor, while the latter part, with its expression of disappointment, seemed somewhat genuine.

This back-and-forth calmed him down. Indeed, the final score was determined by the judges and had nothing to do with Xiao Jingchen.

The real problem lies with Ho Ka-ming!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohu's hostility towards Xiao Jingchen visibly decreased.

Welcome to Chengdu.

Just as Xiao Che was breaking out in a cold sweat, she heard Wang Xiaohu's voice behind her, and instantly felt relieved. She was really worried that Wang Xiaohu would act impulsively.

She then took over from Wang Xiaohu and began to introduce Xiao Jingchen.

"Wang Xiaohu."

"Hello, Wang Xiaohu!" Xiao Jingchen bowed.

Wang Xiaohu: "Hello."

Car: "Liu Fengrui".

"Hello, Liu Fengrui!" Xiao Jingchen bowed twice.

Ah Liu: "Just call me Ah Liu, you're welcome."

Xiao Che: "Qiao Zhizhi and Yu Xiaobei."

"Hello, ladies." Xiao Jingchen bowed three times.

Qiao Zhizhi: "Welcome, Xiao."

Xiao Bei: "Welcome, even though you beat Arlene once."

Xiao Jingchen was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand, "I have never beaten Che Lin. It's just that we prepared pieces for competitions, while Che Lin prepared pieces for playing. If she had used pieces for competitions, none of us would have scored higher than her."

Hearing this, the onlookers were all speechless. So Che Lin went out to have fun and still managed to get six perfect scores??

Amidst gasps of amazement, the expressions on Wang Xiaohu and the others visibly improved.

The little car was somewhat speechless: "I don't have any better songs."

At this moment, everyone can only interpret her rebuttal as a form of humility.

The first-place winner is convinced, so what reason do they have to object? Besides, those six perfect scores are real.

"Marco, welcome, welcome!"

Having already clearly grasped the atmosphere of the scene, Kezi stepped forward and offered his hand to help Xiaoche out of the predicament.

"Hello, Marco!" As Xiao Jingchen bowed, Marco also bent down.

Hahahaha!

This unexpected bowing rekindled the joyful atmosphere!
"You could also consider Group Two."

"Joining our group is a great option!"

"Group Three is already short-staffed!"

In the blink of an eye, the parking lot was transformed into a large recruitment site, where Tang Xiaoxing, Miao Hengrui, and the Liu siblings also gathered around.

Hello!

Liu Ziqian took the initiative to greet Xiao Jingchen. The two had participated in an exchange activity between the affiliated high school and Xiao Jingchen in April of this year.

Xiao Jingchen: "Long time no see!"

Liu Ziqian: "We can consider forming a group, and we can continue to discuss it." Xiao Jingchen laughed. He had heard from classmates who participated in last year's summer camp about the group competition process on the plane.

Miao Hengrui: "Let's join Group Two and work together to try and win first place this year."

Wang Xiaohu: "Good grief, you two aren't going to keep acting, are you? You're openly demanding people?"

Liu Zige: "Captain, you should grab it too!"

Wang Xiaohu: "Xiao, we can consider Group 5. It's the absolute gold standard of the top team."

Miao Hengrui: "The last one is just unfair! Who can swim better than you!"

Wang Xiaohu shrugged: "Is it my fault?"

"Uh..." Xiao Jingchen never expected that he would become a hot commodity before he even understood the situation.

"Che Lin, you're in Group Four, right?" he asked.

Just when everyone thought Xiao Jingchen was going to choose to join Group Four, Xiao Jingchen nodded in the car and said four words:
"Then I'll eliminate four groups first."

The children were completely taken aback by this unexpected turn of events, because Che Lin, who was in Group 4, refused to join Group 4!
Wang Xiaohu suddenly began to admire this classmate Xiao.

Xiao Che was also surprised, but she didn't want to be in a group with Xiao Jingchen.

"That would be great."

Xiao Che smiled and replied, "Whichever team you join this time, that team will be the focus of our Group Four's observation."

Holy crap!!!
Fu Yu and the other members of Group Four were instantly on the verge of exploding with excitement!
Amidst wave after wave of cheers, the curtain seemed to be about to rise on the battle.

"Students, students!"

We can't just eat melon seeds; Haitao raised his hand to signal everyone to get ready for dinner. "Nobody's going to argue. We'll see who's the real deal tonight. Come on, let's put down our luggage and get together!"

On the way back to the hotel, the bluestone slabs along the Yunxi River made a clattering sound as they were stepped on.

"Thank you, Marco!"

Xiao Jingchen was very grateful for the first invitation he received. He had also felt a little awkward earlier because of some unfriendly looks that he could understand.

"You can call me Conan, okay?"

"You like watching Detective Conan too?!"

"I am proficient in 2000 methods of committing crimes and know more than 800 ways to prove an alibi."

"What a coincidence, isn't it?"

"It seems we can't be teammates then."

Hahahaha!
-
6:15.

When all the members gathered in the restaurant, they found a beautifully designed booklet on their seats.

The 2nd Giger Piano Summer Camp

The booklet has a line of small, bold text printed on it, just like last year's booklet, followed by the words: "Discover yourself, break through your limitations."

Some children discovered that they already had a red cartoon musical note badge on their first page.

Just then, Ang Lee appeared at the restaurant with a microphone.

"Wow——————"

"Teacher Li!"

"teacher!"

"Boss!"

The scene was filled with jubilation.

Under everyone's gaze, Ang Lee walked to the center of the restaurant.
"I suddenly feel nostalgic for last year in Yanjing. I don't know what to say now."

"But I have something to say."

"Hahahaha!"

"Welcome, everyone who has come from afar. I am Li An, the person in charge of this summer camp."

"Wow!!!"

"Thank you, thank you. Chengdu has indeed been quite hot lately, has everyone felt it?"

"I felt it!!!!!!!!!"

"Then I won't waste any more words. The booklets in your hands are the same as last year, and they will record every moment of your summer camp this year."

"Our judges and teachers will affix badges to you after each round of activities."

"Red medals are for individuals, and blue medals are for teams."

“You have now each received a red medal, because you are worthy of this medal just for sitting here at this moment.”

"Please give a round of applause to everyone here!"

"Wow——————"

Cloud: "Hearing the boss speak in person gives me a much better feeling."

Ruby: "Is Chong-ge livestreaming with his phone?"

Bajian had already started his live stream, and the chat was filled with comments like, "The atmosphere is amazing."

"The rules for this summer camp are already clearly stated in the regulations. I will only emphasize one point."

"Be careful. If anything happens, find your teacher immediately. That's all I ask, can you promise me that?" "Yes!!!"

"Okay, let's eat! After lunch, we'll have the first activity of this summer camp: icebreaker games."

"Wow!!!!"

Cheers erupted!
"It seems that calling it 'Icebreaker Game' is no longer appropriate. How about we change the name to 'Concerto of Reunion'? Applause, please."

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"Whoa!!!!!!!!!"
-
After a lively afternoon lunch, all the children, led by their teachers, went to the activity area that had been set up next to the auditorium.

Not only were the children's eyes overwhelmed, but even the unsuspecting teachers couldn't keep up.

The ground was covered with black and white keys, and colorful ribbons and balloons floated in the sky.

Each of the six separated areas is equipped with a piano, a round table, and several chairs.

There was a small sign on each table.

The sign on the first table reads "Bach's Squad".

Xiao Bei, Miao Hengrui, and the others seemed to have found a base and were about to sit down.

At this moment, Ang Lee picked up the microphone and told everyone to stand still.

"We will continue with the grouping method from last year for this summer camp."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers crisply.

Mu Xin switched the images on the lobby screen, and the introductions for each group were clearly visible.

"Before the game begins, we'll stick to our usual routine and divide into groups. Now, all veteran players, please make your choices after I say 'start'."

"If you still choose your previous team, please sit in your team area according to the signs on the table."

"Former players who wish to switch teams, please remain where you are."

"start."

The next second, not a single veteran player chose to stay where they were; they all went to their former teams.

As they took their seats, the hall immediately felt much more spacious.

Ang Lee smiled at the new members and said, “Don’t be in a hurry, everyone. Based on my experience leading the team last year, choice is more important than effort.”

The audience burst into laughter again!

"At the end of the summer camp, I will give out a final mystery gift based on the total number of medals you have earned."

Wow!
"Choosing a team that suits you will help you accumulate medals faster."

"Now, I will invite one student from each of the five teams to introduce their team."

"Please note that there is strength in numbers, so please introduce your team as much as possible!"

"Let's give them a round of applause!"

"Team One—Bach's Squad!!"

"Wow——————"

Amidst the applause, everyone's eyes turned to one group.

"Go, Brother Miao!"

Lu Hanwen was extremely anxious. "If you don't step up, who will?! You're the captain!"

Miao Hengrui thought to himself that this kind of speaking competition was really not suitable for him, so he turned his attention to Yu Xiaobei again.

"Teacher Li didn't say the team leader had to go, Xiao Bei, this difficult task is entrusted to you! Bring the person back to us!"

"Wow————"

Xiao Bei stood up and walked confidently to the center of the hall.

The scene then quieted down.
