Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1374, Section 594: The Horrifying Three Rules of the Agreement!
Wang Xiaohu felt ashamed to face anyone.

Fortunately, he had a fever at the moment, otherwise he was afraid he would blush so much that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

Ah Lin was right at the door! How embarrassing!
Fortunately, it turned out that the teacher was just testing him. Thinking of this, he felt a sense of pride, at least he believed that he had passed the teacher's test.

He thought Arlene would understand why he ultimately decided to send that message.

"Come and sit."

Ang Lee got up, moved aside, walked to the door, and closed it.

Xiao Che walked to the bedside and sat down. Looking at Wang Xiaohu's flushed face, she felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't know why the teacher had asked her to wait at the door for a while.

Now that she knows, she certainly doesn't blame the teacher for what she did, but she wants to thank Wang Xiaohu even more.

Even at the very end, Wang Xiaohu was still worried about whether this message would affect her relationship with her teacher.

"Are you feeling better?" she asked.

Wang Xiaohu: "I feel much better. I'll see how it goes this afternoon. I still want to go out and have fun with everyone!"

The car nodded: "Yes!"

Strangely enough, after being teased by Ang Lee, the two children didn't feel embarrassed at all.

They started chatting right in front of the teacher.

"Ah, ah, ah."

Ang Lee interrupted the second child and sat down on the other side of the bed.

"What are you two doing? I'm still standing here."

Wang Xiaohu grinned: "Teacher, you can't just not let us speak at all, do you understand the principle of reversal when things reach an extreme?"

Ang Lee: "What do you mean? Things will turn around when they reach their extreme? Who wants to turn around? You? Do you dare?"

As he spoke, Ang Lee laughed, then sighed, "There's nothing I can do."

After a moment, "Since there's no one else here today, just the three of us, can we have an open and honest talk?"

Wang Xiaohu: "That's amazing!"

Little Car: "Yes, teacher."

Ang Lee waved his hand: "Today there are no teachers or students, just three old friends, right? We know each other very well."

The two children laughed.

Ang Lee: "It seems you two have agreed, so I'll go first."

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Xiaohu and said sincerely, "I have to apologize to you."

Wang Xiaohu: "No, teacher!"

Ang Lee: "I told you there were no teachers today, but you still interrupted me. Fine, Che Lin and I originally planned to come over and keep you company this morning. When we got downstairs, I told her I had to give you a little talking-to, but I didn't expect to actually mess with you, you little rascal."

Wang Xiaohu scratched the back of his head: "Then why did you actually hit me again? I still feel a little uncomfortable."

Ang Lee: "Nonsense, I'm angry. I'm not joking with you. Ask her if I told her I was really angry on the way here."

Seeing the car nod, Wang Xiaohu was still puzzled. He had thought it was all a joke when he saw the car's head peeking out from the door earlier.

It turns out the teacher was really angry.
Ang Lee: "Of course I'm angry with you two, but I also have to take responsibility for this. It's my fault for not paying enough attention."

Wang Xiaohu: "No, not at all."

Ang Lee: "Anyway, I want to apologize to you. I was a bit harsh just now, and I frightened you, who are already ill. Please don't mind."

Wang Xiaohu: "No need, it's my own problem. If I had sought your help earlier, things might not be like this now."

Ang Lee: "To be optimistic, given the current situation, there's nothing anyone can do. I think things are pretty good as they are now."

Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but smile: "Uh."

Ang Lee: "As the saying goes, it's easy to block a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you. Now at least we can talk about this issue openly and honestly."

Wang Xiaohu: "Let's talk!"

Ang Lee: "Are you two planning to start a long-distance relationship?"

Car: "."

Wang Xiaohu: "No, sir, isn't your question a bit too direct?"

Ang Lee: "I'm not your teacher right now, so don't have any psychological barriers. Let's just chat. Or you can treat me as a dating coach. I have experience with long-distance relationships, right? Don't be shy, just tell me about it."

The two children looked at each other in bewilderment.

moment.

"Cough cough."

"That's it."

Wang Xiaohu, relieved of his anxiety, asked, "Could you provide separate instruction?"

Ang Lee: "Oh, you have your own problems too."

Wang Xiaohu: "Well, but I don't know if I can say it in front of Arlene."

Car: "Speak."

Wang Xiaohu: "I can't make this decision. Alin only agreed to be my girlfriend for a few days. She might not even last until I leave. Don't laugh, Professor. I'm not kidding. Maybe she'll send me a message in a couple of days saying she doesn't want to be my girlfriend anymore. That's just her personality."

“Indeed,” Ang Lee said, looking at the car. “What do you say?”

Xiao Che: "Not for now, and I don't know about the future."

Ang Lee then looked at Wang Xiaohu: "What do you say?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Anyway, I would never say something like that."

Ang Lee: "Okay, so that means you've decided to maintain this relationship for a while, and there definitely won't be any problems before Wang Xiaohu goes abroad, I can say that."

Car: "Mm."

Wang Xiaohu echoed, "Mhm."

Xiao Che: "This bottle of medicine is almost finished."

Wang Xiaohu quickly pressed the call button, and after the nurse changed the dressing, the conversation continued.

Ang Lee: "So what kind of mental preparation do you have for maintaining a relationship after going abroad? From my own experience, this is very important."

"You both know the situation at the time, but even though Mr. Chen and I were fully prepared, there were still some minor problems in the beginning."

"Habit is the most terrifying thing. When you get used to someone being in your life, and one day they suddenly become a string of data, the psychological gap is something you can't imagine right now."

“She and I can still video chat every day, but what about you two? I think you both know in your hearts that you can’t do this.”

"So what will we do then?"

"Long-distance relationships sound wonderful, but the process is not so wonderful."

“If you two insist on doing it this way, you need to start doing your homework now.”

The two children nodded at the same time.

Ang Lee: "It seems you two are determined. Let's begin."

"First of all, you should start setting your own goals now."

Wang Xiaohu raised his hand: "I have one!"

Car: "I have one too."

Ang Lee: "I believe in you on this point. If you were eighteen years old now, I might express this in a different way. But because of your age, I would just say that you should strive for your goals."

Car: "Mm."

Wang Xiaohu: "Mm."

Ang Lee: "Secondly, you must learn to be mentally independent, learn to process things on your own, and avoid conveying negative emotions to others."

"For example, Wang Xiaohu, if you don't do well on a test and tell Che Lin that it's so difficult and you feel like you understand less and less the more you study, what do you expect Che Lin to say?"

Do you expect her to help you digest this?

Wang Xiaohu: "I will handle it myself."

Ang Lee: "It's impossible for couples to be without dependence on each other, but if you insist on choosing this path, then you have to make yourselves stronger."

"This is mainly about your problem, Wang Xiaohu. Compared to Che Lin, your ability to manage your emotions is not as good. This is something you need to find a way to improve."

Wang Xiaohu: "Hmm!"

Ang Lee: "Controlling emotions is not just about negative emotions, but also about positive emotions. For example, if you miss someone a lot these days, but you know that the other person is currently preparing for a competition or a performance and is under a lot of time and energy, what should you do in this situation?"

Xiao Che: "Control your emotions and don't distract the other person."

Wang Xiaohu: "Continue to busy yourself with what you have to do, such as studying and practicing the piano, and shift your attention to other things as well."

Car: "Yes, there are a lot of things to do."

Wang Xiaohu: "Besides conducting, I also play the piano, vocals, and clarinet. There are so many things to practice that I feel like I don't have time to think about anything else."

Ang Lee: "Wait a minute, you're going to learn the clarinet?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Uh, is that not allowed?"

Ang Lee: "Why don't you just forget about it? You've already achieved your goal. You might as well save some of your energy to rest. Do you really like the clarinet?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Then how about we put the clarinet aside for now?"

Car: "Tsk tsk."

Wang Xiaohu: "Oh, it's not that I don't want to learn anymore, it's just that my teacher is right."

Xiao Che: "I remember you said you were learning the clarinet to better understand the instruments in the wind band. I think I remember correctly."

Wang Xiaohu: "Haha, of course, I feel like I'm almost there too. I've mastered all the transpositions of wind instruments." Xiao Che: "You're awesome."

Wang Xiaohu: "Of course, you have no idea how good my hearing is now. If I had been in the second group that day, I might not have gotten first place."

Little car: "Shall we have a competition?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Who can beat a fixed pitch when it comes to listening to music!"

The car: "Less talk, more practice."

Wang Xiaohu: "How about we compare reading the full score?"

Car: "You think I'm afraid of you?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Oh, if that's your attitude, then I won't give you any face."

Xiao Che: "Don't hold back, just tell me how you want to compete."

Ang Lee: "Hey, hey, hey, do you two have any respect for people? If you want to compete, go ahead and compete. I strongly support this kind of exchange. Just keep pushing each other and see who's really worse. It's okay if you lose, you can continue next time. That's great."

Wang Xiaohu: "She's too arrogant!"

Car: "Hehe."

Ang Lee: "Oh dear, she has the right to be arrogant. You should keep a low profile for now, right? How can you compare your sight-reading skills objectively? If I gave you a full score, you would definitely be faster at reading it than her. I admit that without even comparing. But she can just figure it out and play it right away. You can't do that without five or six years of experience and accumulation."

"The premise is that you have to practice the piano very hard."

Wang Xiaohu: "Okay. Actually, I know that too."

Ang Lee: "Che Lin, you don't need to call him 'Zhi'er' like that. He's quite capable of directing students at this age."

Xiao Che: "He started by provoking me."

Wang Xiaohu: "To be honest, I was competing against you that day, but neither of us went up. If I had gone up, the second group might not have gotten first place."

Car: "You?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Give it a try!"

Ang Lee was having a headache; how did we end up back on track again: "Stop!"

"Che Lin, you should be more accommodating to him. He's sick."

Car: "Pfft, yes, I was wrong."

Wang Xiaohu: "I! I didn't, oh dear, I really... oh dear."

Xiao Che: "Boys should be more generous."

Ang Lee: "I disagree with that. Men and women should be equal."

Wang Xiaohu: "Hmph!"

Ang Lee: "Everyone relies on their own abilities."

Little Car: "Hehe."

Wang Xiaohu: "I will work hard!!"

Ang Lee: "Effort isn't just about talking. Okay, that's all for this point. I hope you can all do well."

"Whether it's dating or life in the future, you have to learn to control your emotions."

"Here's a suggestion for you: if you encounter any situations where you can't vent your emotions, just go to your mom or teacher. They will definitely be able to provide you with the help you need."

The second child nodded again.

Ang Lee: "Finally, there's a rather sensitive topic."

"How to fall in love."

"To be honest, if I could stop you, I really wouldn't want to see you like this."

"To be honest, even at this moment, I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong. I can only say that I'm trying my best to respect you, because I'm afraid that you might choose some extreme measures if you are forced to intervene."

“I just asked Wang Xiaohu to send a message, and he almost panicked.”

"Besides, I just guessed that even if he sent this message, it wouldn't achieve the effect I wanted. You two can have various ways to contact each other in private, so forcing it on the two of you is meaningless."

"This is my journey, and I'm telling you all about it now."

"I'm not saying I support it, I just can't help but oppose it, so I've made my stance clear."

“We’ve already talked and laughed about this, now I should say the unpleasant things upfront.”

"If I ever sense that you're even slightly out of control, don't blame me, I'll do everything I can to cut off your relationship."

"I'm not trying to scare you, did you understand?"

Car: "I heard you clearly."

Wang Xiaohu: "I heard you clearly."

Ang Lee: "Okay, so how can we have a healthy early romance? Besides learning to be independent and controlling our emotions, as I mentioned earlier, we also need a little romance in the relationship."

Wang Xiaohu: "Cough."

Ang Lee: "Oh my god, you're embarrassed to talk about this now."

Wang Xiaohu: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

Ang Lee: "Let me give you a simple example. It's normal to exchange small gifts on special occasions, but since you don't have any income, you need to control the price."

"Wang Xiaohu, how much did you spend on the necklace you gave Che Lin last year? Don't think I don't know."

Xiao Che glanced at Wang Xiaohu immediately; she really didn't know.

Wang Xiaohu: "I will be more careful in the future."

Ang Lee: "It's Lin's birthday again soon. You can only give her something worth no more than 50 yuan. Do you understand?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher, I already..."

Ang Lee: "Calling him teacher won't help. I don't care. Che Lin, you too, he's going abroad, you definitely want to give him something, right? It can't be fifty."

"It's set in stone for you. From now on, if you want to give each other gifts, the price cap is fifty."

"Did you hear that clearly?"

Car: "I heard you clearly."

Wang Xiaohu: "I heard you clearly."

Ang Lee: "I know about the issue of addressing people. Nowadays, even elementary school students are calling each other 'husband' and 'wife' all the time. Don't give me that kind of treatment. If I find out, even just once, I'll suppress it with violence."

Wang Xiaohu: "I just like calling her Alin."

Ang Lee: "That's fine. Anyway, I've already said it. Do you have a nickname for Xiao Che?"

Little Car: "Little Dog Wang"

Wang Xiaohu: "Ah Lin, you."

Ang Lee: "I think this is pretty good."

He paused, then said, "Physical contact, holding hands, is death."

Wang Xiaohu: "Huh?"

Li Anle: "Oh, what? I think your idea is getting a bit dangerous."

Wang Xiaohu: "No, no, I absolutely didn't."

Ang Lee: "That's good. I have zero tolerance for this. It's simply not allowed. I've already been very tactful. Did you two understand?"

Car: "I heard you clearly."

Wang Xiaohu: "I heard you clearly."

Ang Lee: That's all. Do you two have anything to add?

Wang Xiaohu: "Uh."

Ang Lee: "Release."

Wang Xiaohu: "Can I ask Alin out to play? That is, without taking up her study and practice time, and I guarantee that none of the problems you mentioned will occur."

Ang Lee: "Sure, it's nothing. Besides, you two have gone out alone before. Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Wang Xiaohu: "I'm fine now."

Car: "Can I refuse?"

Ang Lee: "Why can't I refuse? If you refuse once, I'll give you a collector's edition of sheet music."

Car: "Really?!"

Ang Lee: "When have I ever lied to you?"

Little car: "Thank you, teacher!"

Ang Lee: You're too kind.

Little Car: "Hehe."

Ang Lee: "You little rascal."

Wang Xiaohu: "Hey, hey, you two, there's another patient here."

Xiao Che immediately turned her head, her eyes full of tenderness: "You said you really like me, right? You must want to make me happy, right?"

Wang Xiaohu sighed softly, and after a moment said, "I feel so uncomfortable."

Amidst the laughter and cheers, Li An silently thought to himself, "Let's see what happens next. This is all I can do for now."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
