Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1392, Section 612: [A Collection of Teacher Li's Baffling Behaviors]

Having a couple of sips to cheer yourself up is perfectly fine.

But it's important to know when to stop.

The father and son opened a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and drank a total of eight liang (400ml), with Li An taking an extra sip.

After the meal, it turned into after drinking. Ang Lee was quite impressed with himself; he was still able to give Tang Xiaoxing a lesson.

The course content naturally includes listening to the beginning of the first movement of Tang Xiaoxing's K491.

It was much better than he had expected, but she thought Tang Xiaoxing could go a little further on his own.

So he didn't say anything.

"You keep practicing, I'm going back now."

"goodbye teacher!"

"Don't get up, let's go."

Back upstairs, Li An took a shower, and then, fueled by his dwindling tipsiness, practiced the piano for a while.

Around 4:30 a.m., he vaguely sensed the elevator doors opening outside.

Then, Teacher Xiaomi opened the door and entered the house.

"Oh my, my great virtuoso flutist is back."

Ang Lee stood up and joked, "What kind of meal did they arrange for our chief at noon?"

"Get lost," Chen Xuan said with a laugh, putting down her bag. "Didn't I take pictures of everything for you? We ate at the concert hall."

Then, she twitched her nose and smelled a strong odor of baijiu (Chinese liquor) even before she got close to Ang Lee.

"Why drink baijiu in the middle of the day?"

"Didn't I go downstairs for lunch? I had a couple of drinks with Uncle Tang. Tell me about what I got today."

Teacher Xiaomi has gained so much today.

The two leaned back on the sofa and chatted for a while. Chen Xuan recounted the entire process of her rehearsal from beginning to end to Li An.

After hearing this, Ang Lee thought to himself, "As expected of Mr. Tang."

The conductor really knows how to judge musicians; he's always right.

He could only admire Chen Xuan's blatant disregard for the four senior colleagues.

"It still has to be Teacher Xiaomi."

"Of course, now that I've taken on this task, I have an obligation to complete it diligently."

"Just because they don't care doesn't mean I have to join them in their slacking off."

Ang Lee laughed: "I think Sister Ma and Brother Sun are both pretty nice people."

Chen Xuan glared: "Being a good person is fine offstage, but once you're on stage, the audience doesn't care about your character offstage."

"If they didn't practice well, they didn't practice well. That's their problem. Why should I be able to practice well?"

Ang Lee: "You're really not afraid of offending people."

Chen Xuan pouted: "Actually, I'm a little scared. I'm afraid they'll think Ang Lee's wife is a bit too fierce."

Ang Lee: "How exactly should we explain this 'biao hu hu' (彪呼呼)?"

Chen Xuan: "Little Tiger can be quite fierce sometimes."

Ang Lee: "That's alright, as long as I didn't hold you back."

Chen Xuan: "You're still laughing? I'm serious."

Ang Lee: "I didn't say anything. Just do what you want to do. Why worry about me? The contract I signed is not the same as theirs."

When the contract was mentioned, Chen Xuan chuckled.

"Go and get my flute case, quick! Don't open it."

"No fighting, no fighting."

Ang Lee got up and went to the door to get Chen Xuan's bag, wondering if there was any gold inside.

"Give."

Chen Xuan took it and said, "Close your eyes."

Ang Lee closed his eyes.

"You can only open your eyes when I tell you to."

"it is good!"

Then Ang Lee heard the sound of the flute bag being unzipped.

moment.

"You can open your eyes now!"

Ang Lee opened his eyes, and a huge question mark instantly appeared on his face!
"I wipe?"

"Deng deng dang deng deng!"

Chen Xuan's smile seemed to carry a touch of girlish pride.

"I! Signed! The! Contract! Too!"

Ang Lee grabbed the contract and started flipping through it.

The more he looked through it, the more he felt that things seemed to be developing exactly as Old Master Tang had predicted.

It seems that Chen Xuan is really going to be given an important position by Fang Yongbo.

“That’s outrageous!”

Li An's gaze suddenly stopped.

"How can you get paid for thirteen months while you're still in school?"

Chen Xuan wasn't smug: "Keep reading on."

Ang Lee turned to the next page.

five minutes later.

His mind was buzzing.

Why does Rong'ai seem to value Chen Xuan more than herself to him?

Signing a contract with Chen Xuan, paying her salary, and making social security contributions are all things that Mr. Tang predicted.

Those who come after them are basically getting the main character's script.

This morning, Chen Xuan participated in the woodwind quintet rehearsal for the first time.

Then she became the principal player of the Ren Rong Love Voice Woodwind Quintet.

What's even more surprising is that there are publicly funded master-level recommendations and industry exchange opportunities during overseas studies?

What kind of treatment is this?
Li Anxin said, "Even as a contracted artist with Rongai, I don't get the privilege of going abroad for study and exchange at public expense."

"No."

Ang Lee put down the contract and looked at Chen Xuan with a puzzled expression. "What exactly did Brother Bo tell you? What did he say to you today?"

Chen Xuan: "We talked about woodwind quintets, woodwind parts, and then he asked me about my future career plans. After dinner, he took me to see an opera rehearsal."

Ang Lee: "How did you tell him about your future career plans?"

Chen Xuan: "Joining a professional orchestra has always been my dream. You know that, so when he asked me, I just said I wanted to join a band."

Ang Lee: "What did Brother Bo say?"

Chen Xuan: "Brother Bo laughed and said, 'Haven't you already joined the group?' I replied, 'I haven't graduated yet.'"

"I told him that I haven't fully thought about his future career plans yet, and I can't agree to them now. What if something changes after I graduate?"

Ang Lee was taken aback, then realized what was happening and quickly picked up the contract and turned to the last page.

really.

"You didn't sign it?!"

"How could I possibly sign it on the spot? Even if I really wanted to sign it, I would have to come back and discuss it with you first."

Ang Lee paused for a moment, then said, “Xiao Mi, I have no advice for you on this matter. Whether you sign now or not, whether you join the orchestra or not, whatever you want to do in the future, I will unconditionally support you.”

Chen Xuan: "I know."

Ang Lee: "I know you know."

Chen Xuan: "I know you know I know."

They both smiled as they spoke.

Ang Lee: "So I've already given you my opinion."

Chen Xuan: "What advice have you given me? Keep your unconditional support to yourself. What I need now is your opinion."

"What if you want to start a large wind band training school in the future? Wouldn't I have to go with you?"

Ang Lee scoffed: "Are you crazy? There are teachers everywhere, why would I use you? Can I even afford to use you?"

Chen Xuan clicked her tongue: "Tell me properly, I'm not joking with you, I've really thought about this issue."

Ang Lee: "How about setting up a flute classroom number six?"

Chen Xuan: "Mm."

Ang Lee: "That doesn't conflict with you joining the group."

Chen Xuan: "There is no conflict, but who knows what will happen in the future? This contract is for five years now, and I am worried about what changes might occur in the future."

moment.

Ang Lee: "Your concerns are not without merit, but what changes can we expect? We're definitely going to settle down in Chengdu. Do you think you have any better options for the future?"

"Become a university professor?"

Chen Xuan: "I dare not think about it, and I don't want to be a university teacher." Ang Lee: "Then what are you still worried about? I've already shown you my attitude. Anyone would sign this contract immediately."

He paused, then asked, "Is there anything else you're worried about?"

Chen Xuan: Well, to put it simply, there's a bit of that.

"I just feel that this contract is too heavy, and I'm afraid I can't live up to Brother Bo's expectations."

Li Anxin thought to himself, "So that's how it is. I knew it. With Chen Xuan's personality, how could she have considered this issue so much?"

"Do you know what Brother Bo's expectations are?"

Chen Xuan: I know a little bit about it. I've been in a band before, and I also know about Rong Ai's current situation.

Ang Lee: "Uncle Tang talked to me a lot at noon today. He thinks your questions are fine."

Chen Xuan looked over: "What did Uncle Tang say?"

Ten minutes later, Ang Lee shared what Mr. Tang had said at noon with Chen Xuan.

"In the end, he said you were born to be a professional musician in an orchestra."

Chen Xuan sighed and smiled, "How could I possibly be worthy of such high regard from two seniors?"

“No, no, no,” Li An waved his hand to correct him, “First, you have the talent, and second, they see it.”

"Xiaomi, you don't need to rush to sign this contract. I think Brother Bo must have told you this today. Go back and think it over carefully, right?"

Chen Xuan: "Mm."

Ang Lee: "Then you should think it over carefully. We're not in a hurry. What do you want to eat tonight? We have to celebrate a little tonight."

Chen Xuan: "I'm not hungry at all. What do you want to eat? I'll go with you."

Ang Lee: "My stomach is also incredibly full. Let's talk about it tonight. I don't even know what time I got up this morning or when I left. Why don't you get some sleep first? You've been through a lot too."

Chen Xuan: "Let's not sleep. Let's all go to bed early tonight. We have rehearsals early tomorrow morning."

Ang Lee: "You don't actually want to learn the flute again, do you?"

Chen Xuan suddenly sat up from the sofa and said with great interest, "I want to record a vlog during rehearsal tomorrow to document it."

Ang Lee raised an eyebrow: "Then, when the official performance takes place, we'll record a vlog, editing together a story about a female college student who accidentally stumbles into a music festival during her summer break before her engagement."

"Hahahaha!" Chen Xuan jumped up from the sofa. "Let's use this title for a series! Come on, let's hear the second movement of Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony. I'm going to record some behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage now."

Ang Lee: "Come, come, oh dear, let me go change my clothes."

Chen Xuan: "No need, this outfit is fine."

Ang Lee glanced down and said, "That's too casual. What if you become famous later?"

Chen Xuan: "Go away, you weren't this vain when you were recording for Bilibili before."

Ang Lee: "Nonsense, only a few people were watching me back then!"

A short while later, Ang Lee went to the dressing room and changed into a top that he thought was rather cute.

A red round t-shirt with a SpongeBob SquarePants kneeling on the back.

"You're really something, fine, that's enough."

Chen Xuan thought to herself, "I'm just waiting to be criticized by the kids for dressing like this."

Just start when you say start.

Chen Xuan packed up her instruments, went out onto the balcony to stretch her fingers, and then tuned the piano.

"OK."

After setting up the phone stand, Ang Lee asked a question before the two officially began.

"Do you need to add some plot? For example, I can criticize your exaggerated delivery here, and you can refute me, and then I can refute your rebuttal, making it seem like it's real. Oh no, I feel like I'm going to become really famous. What do you think?"

Chen Xuan couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Li An turned around at the piano, frowning, and said, "What are you laughing at? Isn't this all about the plot? If we were to make something serious, where would we get the viewership?"

Chen Xuan: "So what's the plot?"

Ang Lee: "Just like I said, I'll criticize you first, then it's settled, haha, I'm a genius, let's record it."

The next second, Chen Xuan was about to burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, okay."

Pretending to walk to the phone stand and touch the phone, Chen Xuan returned to the balcony with a series of groans.

The video has actually been recorded for two minutes.

Chen Xuan felt that the most valuable segment of this video was already included.

The title is simply: "A Collection of Teacher Li's Baffling Behaviors"
-
They might joke around and have fun, but when it comes to actual practice, the two of them are quite serious.

The second movement of Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony is essentially an interplay between the piano and woodwinds.

The flute, as the most important woodwind instrument, is most moving when it is deeply integrated with the piano.

Therefore, real-life couples may experience a different kind of emotional connection during this adjustment period compared to other couples.

At first, the two of them only had this idea.

Unexpectedly, around 7 p.m., the two of them actually managed to come up with something interesting.

"Eat, eat."

As soon as the food arrived, Ang Lee immediately stopped eating; he was genuinely hungry.

Dinner tonight.

Dumplings.

Chen Xuan didn't care what she ate.

She has only one thing on her mind right now.

We just need to quickly edit out the rehearsal video from earlier.

And then the following scene appeared—

Chen Xuan kept busy with her phone while eating.

"We can do it after we finish eating; it's not like we have to post it today."

"Oh, I'm not hungry at all, you can just eat yours."

"Then I won't save any for you."

Bang bang bang.

Li An began to devour the remaining half plate of dumplings.

After dinner, he returned to the piano.
-
They played until 9:30 p.m. before Wang Xiaohu finally decided to go home.

"Bye-Bye!"

"Contact me via WeChat!"

After waving goodbye to Monkey at the basketball court entrance, Wang Xiaohu wiped his sweat as he walked to the roadside to wait for the old lady to pick him up.

Although there are many things to prepare before departure, a balance between work and rest is the only way to maintain high efficiency.

Appropriate exercise helps to awaken the brain and body.

Of course, the main reason is that the car doesn't have time to deal with him at night.

After scrolling through his WeChat Moments without finding anything new, Wang Xiaohu opened Douyin (TikTok).

Ok?
My teacher's wife actually updated?!

Wow!

Five minutes ago!

It's still warm!
Take a look quickly.

Wang Xiaohu couldn't hold back his emotions when he saw the cover.

Hahahahaha!
They actually used the teacher's bewildered face with a bunch of question marks on stage as the video cover!
She truly deserves to be my teacher's wife!
Upon seeing the video title again, Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

Look at me and see what it means to be ——————

cough cough.

A Collection of Teacher Li's Baffling Behaviors

Wang Xiaohu couldn't hold back from the very beginning of the video!

The teacher actually has such a ridiculous outfit!

Hahahahaha!
Do you need a segment of the story?

For example, I might complain that the way you're blowing the horn here doesn't feel right.

'Then you refute me'

'I'll refute your rebuttal again.'

'It looks so real'

'Oh no, I think I'm about to really explode.'

What do you think?
