Chapter 14 Brother and Sister
At the thought of composing, Liao Yuan's brain cells instantly became active.

He was a singer in his previous life, and composing music is definitely his forte, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she doesn't have any musical instruments, which also slightly reduces Liao Yuan's desire to create.

But this didn't embarrass Liao Yuan too much. When he remembered something, he got up and went to his sister Liao Meiyun's bedroom.

In the bedroom, next to the neatly folded quilt, a ukulele lay there quietly.

This is a miniature guitar, but instead of six strings, the ukulele only has four strings.

"Let's use it first, wait until next month's salary comes down, and then buy a guitar. Maybe it would be better to buy a piano after the manuscript fee?"

Liao Yuan thought of many videos of popular UP masters on the [Music Section], most of which were piano performances, and the attention paid to other musical instruments was obviously much smaller.

Perhaps, audiences in this world have a firm attachment to piano performance?

Without thinking too much, Liao Yuan began to lower his head and tune the ukulele.

With his fingertips waving the strings, he simply played a few chords, listened carefully to each timbre, and then adjusted the tuners on the headstock according to the difference in timbre.

After a while, the tuning is complete.

The next moment, he pressed the neck of the string with his left hand, grasping the chords, and beat the panel of the piano case rhythmically with his right hand, and began to play the rhythm casually.

It's early summer now, and there are cicadas singing outside the window.

The day at the end of May is gentle and clean.

With a dull sound, Liao Yuan began to play his first chord.

A breeze blew from the window, the sun slanted and shone on Liao Yuan's forehead, and the wind seemed to blow his eyelashes.

He closed his eyes, one melody after another was brewing in his mind.

At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten himself.

As the most popular musical instrument in Hawaii, the sound of the ukulele has always been passionate and unrestrained.

But at this time, the sound of the piano played by Liao Yuan's hands seemed to be a ray of soul mourning, and all the hustle and bustle in the air seemed to have fallen to the ground.

There is no more noise in the world.

And the sound of the piano was like wind and fog, as if it had blown [-] miles in an instant.

A rare expression of enjoyment appeared on Liao Yuan's face.

This song was played by a Canadian homeless man named "Ryan" on the street in his previous life. The song is called "The-Beginning".

It is said that the homeless man graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Canada and was once a professor at the School of Music Performance of the school. He was once popular all over the world because he played his own piano music and was photographed by passers-by.

Ryan was sent to a foster family by social workers when he was three or four years old. When he was eight years old, he happened to touch the piano in the basement and became obsessed with it. Later, at the age of 26, he gave birth to his only daughter, but due to bad luck, his daughter was 9 years old. He and his wife were killed in a car accident. In grief and despair, he gave up his job and his lifelong studies and started wandering.

Liao Yuan didn't intend to play this piece of music, but without distracting thoughts, this piece of music came into being.

The world is noisy, but some people choose to be alone.

Ryan's mood at the time was probably the same as his own...

A person comes into this world and a person leaves this world.

There was a wry smile in the corner of Liao Yuan's mouth, he was about to change a song, when he raised his head, he saw a big-eyed girl in a white T-shirt pushing a suitcase, staring at him: "Brother...Brother, you... ...You are... actually playing the piano?"

Liao Meiyun couldn't believe her eyes, but she couldn't believe it. She rubbed her eye sockets, and the next moment, fog quickly covered her eyes.

No one knew how touched Liao Meiyun was at the moment.

As long as she can remember, she has admired her elder brother the most. Because of her parents' occupations, the Liao family's family atmosphere is particularly full of literary and artistic atmosphere. Growing up in this environment has also caused the Liao brothers and sisters' musical attainments to be higher than ordinary people's. Say, quite high.

Let’s talk about Liao Meiyun herself. Although she dropped out of high school, she is not only proficient in guitar, piano, erhu, etc., but also very skilled in controlling hand drums, guzheng, cucurbit silk and other instruments.

And the roots of all these instruments come from Liao Yuan's teachings.

In Liao Meiyun's opinion, the four words "elder brother is like father" is absolutely well-deserved.

It can also be seen from this that Liao Yuan is also proficient in various musical instruments. After all, he himself has obtained various amateur tenth level certificates in high school, which is enough to prove his excellence.

Liao Yuan's future can be said to be bright, but in college, he chose to major in broadcasting on his own initiative...

And I haven't touched any musical instruments since!
Liao Meiyun vaguely sensed that her brother had a problem with his relationship. She had just entered junior high school that year, and after reading all kinds of romance novels and watching all kinds of emotional soap operas, she completely felt that she was already a love expert, so she was old-fashioned. He has conducted various enlightenments to the elder brother vertically and horizontally.

What kind of big man wants to be everywhere, why don't he have a wife, what is the end of the world, where there is no grass, why should he be greedy for a flower...

As a real love novice, Liao Meiyun's enlightenment is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, making Liao Yuan, who was already depressed, even more depressed.

He who used to like to run around with a guitar on his back never touched a guitar again, and he who once liked playing black keys the most never touched a piano again.

Faced with such a scene, the Liao family's parents were helpless.

Because Liao Yuan was in adolescence at that time, psychologically rebellious, and could not listen to any persuasion.

So he let Liao Yuan go with the flow.

until now.

"You're back."

Under his younger sister's gaze, Liao Yuan's face turned hot. He coughed, put the ukulele aside, and asked, "Where have you been in the past few days?"

Liao Meiyun's gaze followed the movement of the ukulele, and when she saw Liao Yuan's hand leaving the ukulele, she cried out loudly: "Brother, keep playing! What did you play just now?" Qu'er, it sounds so good, I want to listen to it!"

Liao Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Hua's crying sister who was crying in the rain, he moved his fingers slightly, but finally refused: "Okay, don't cry, such a young girl, she cries all day long, lost Not ashamed?"

"No, no! I want to listen!"

Liao Meiyun looked at her brother with tears in her eyes, and said coquettishly, "Play it again, and I'll tell you some good news!"

Liao Yuan had no choice but to pick up the ukulele again under the expectant eyes of his sister, and played "The-Beginning" again.

"It sounds so good!"

Liao Meiyun clutched her protruding chest and murmured earnestly.

Liao Yuan put down the ukulele and said seriously: "Okay, tell me about you, where have you been in the past few days?"

The girl's mood suddenly turned cloudy, she wiped the tears off her face, and said happily: "Brother, I was officially admitted to participate in a program, and I have more than 3000 yuan a month, including room and board! "
