Please, come home and practice the piano

‘Sister Xu, thank you for your hard work. I’ll call you later. ’

While walking, he quickly edited the message to reply to Xu Li, and Li An rushed out of the concert hall door.

At the moment, he had no intention of thinking about the scholar's problem, even though Xu Li brought good news of victory.

Li An didn't know how to comfort Chen Xuan, or he didn't expect such a result.

Eighth place, one step difference, even ninth place, makes people feel a little better.

Just when Li An was still thinking about how to talk to Chen Xuan, he looked up and saw that Chen Xuan had changed her clothes and taken her belongings and was standing in front of the player entrance sign, smiling as if she was waiting for his arrival.

Stopping in front of Chen Xuan, with only one person's distance between them, Li An gradually relaxed his brows and touched his nose.

The two of them looked at me and I looked at you. Chen Xuan smiled, and Li An couldn't help but grin.

Raising his hand to rub the back of Chen Xuan's head, Li An licked his mouth and was about to speak when Chen Xuan spoke first: "Li An."

Ang Lee: "Yes."

Chen Xuan: "This is the result I want most."

Ang Lee: "You didn't lose."

Chen Xuan: "I didn't lose."

Ang Lee: "Three rounds, one trip."

Chen Xuan smiled: "Is it time to travel?"

Li An nodded, stepped forward and took Chen Xuan into his arms, "It's time to fulfill it."

The moment Chen Xuan leaned on Li An's shoulder, she felt a trace of fatigue spreading from the bottom of her heart to her whole body, "Don't leave tonight, okay?"

"I'm not going anywhere tonight." Li An patted Chen Xuan's back gently, and for a moment said, "Xiaomi."

Chen Xuan: "Huh?"

Ang Lee: "I don't have your courage."

Chen Xuan: "I don't need to eat instant noodles."

As they spoke, the two laughed again, as if they were connected to each other at this moment.

As the game ended, waves of spectators poured out from the doors on both sides of the concert hall, and for a while the entire theater lobby turned into a vegetable market.

Li An and Chen Xuan didn't care and continued to hug each other and whisper to each other.

When Ye Xinyi left with her parents, she stopped and waved to them.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen and Sun Yuman watched from a distance, and no one came forward to disturb them.

About two minutes later, Chen Xuan's stomach made a growling sound, and the two let go of their hands. Li An finally said, "Okay, don't keep uncle and aunt waiting for too long. Leave your cell phone with Teacher Xiao."

Chen Xuan nodded, and then the two of them walked towards Lao Chen and the others, with Sun Yuman taking the lead to meet them.

She gave Chen Xuan a big hug, then let go of her hand and said with a smile, "That's awesome."

There was nothing to say between the sisters, so Chen Xuan laughed and said, "You will have to eat more later."

After saying that, Chen Xuan looked at her parents. Old Chen grinned: "Let's go, let's eat first, we're all hungry."

Song Lian hurriedly followed, "Yes, let's eat first."

While talking, the five people walked towards the stone pillar at the entrance of the lobby. Li An didn't bother to rest, so he called a car on his mobile phone.

Sun Yuman also called a car.

The colorful night view of Yanjing, with bright lights, becomes more and more beautiful as you look at it. The whistles on the road come and go, bright and dim, and the rhythm is beautiful.

"You and your uncle and aunt should take the car at the back." Li An told Chen Xuan, and then Sun Yuman also said: "I'll see you soon, uncle and aunt!"

Lao Chen: "Okay, you go ahead."

Li An and Sun Yuman got into the first car tacitly, leaving their alone time to the family of three.
-

The two cars drove towards the Huaguo Conservatory of Music. After getting in the car, Li An called Xu Li back. Chen Xuan didn't know the news that the scholar had successfully captured the book, so all her thoughts were on how to comfort her parents.

She could tell that Mom and Dad were only looking relaxed.

Especially Lao Chen, she smiled as if she had eaten Coptis chinensis. She was wondering if Lao Chen was a little disappointed because she did not make it to the finals. Having been Lao Chen's daughter for all these years, she knew that Lao Chen had always had very high demands on her. , although she rarely disappoints Lao Chen on learning issues, but as long as the other party is disappointed, she will remain silent.

She didn't make it to the finals this time, so was Lao Chen disappointed? However, due to some reasons, the other party did not put the silent face in her memory this time, but replaced it with a very unnatural smile.

Of course, from a certain perspective, although this kind of smile is not good-looking, Chen Xuan still wants to think that this is Lao Chen's progress. After all, no child wants to see his father's silence.

"Xiaoxuan, do you want to call Teacher Xiao and tell her we're leaving first?" Song Lian asked with concern.

"I've already sent her a message, and she replied to me. She probably hasn't finished her work yet," Chen Xuan explained, "It's okay, Mom, Teacher Xiao will contact us when she is finished."

"Yeah." Song Lian sighed lightly, feeling somewhat "complaining" in her heart.

The score was just a little bit behind, but she still had a little "complaint" in her heart. It was not directed at Teacher Xiao, nor the judges, nor her daughter. She didn't know who to blame, maybe it was It was directed at Lao Chen, or maybe it was directed at herself.

My daughter plays the piano so well and is so beautiful on stage, but she is just a little short of it.

"dad."

Old Chen turned his head from the passenger side when he heard the sound, with a concerned look on his face.

Chen Xuan smiled and asked: "Did I play well today?"

This question made Lao Chen feel even more uncomfortable. He answered seriously: "Okay, you play very well."

Chen Xuan laughed in her heart that Lao Chen had indeed changed. In the past, Lao Chen would definitely have said, "It's useless if I say it's good or not," and then told her that it depends on what the teacher says. If the teacher says it's good, then it's good.

"I also feel very good." Chen Xuan affirmed.

The rare unanimity between father and daughter made the atmosphere in the car much more relaxed, but Song Lian sighed again with some regret.

Chen Xuan knew what her mother was thinking. She turned to Song Lian and said, "Mom," after a moment, "the results have exceeded my expectations."

Without waiting for a reaction from her parents, Chen Xuan continued with a bit of explanation: "I have never set a goal for myself from the beginning. I just play what I want to play, and whatever round I get in the competition is that round."

Song Lian understood and nodded: "Mom knows."

Chen Xuan: "But this is a competition, not an art test. The reference standard for the art test is selection, and the reference standard for the competition is the judges' preferences. Judges in different regions have different preferences. European judges prefer orthodox classical style processing, so in From what they hear, I naturally don’t fall into this category, so I’m really surprised to get this result today.”

When the old couple heard this, they felt much better, and they almost understood that the reason their daughter didn't advance was not because she didn't play well, but because she didn't cater to the judges' preferences.

They really don't understand music, what style, what processing, they can't tell the difference, but they can hear their daughter's calm tone, and they can also hear that this is like their daughter, stubborn.

Song Lian took her daughter's hand and pretended to blame her with her eyes widened: "You too, you know what the judges like, so you can't be flexible, stupid or not."

But Lao Chen said: "I think it's nothing at all. When we participate in the competition, we have to show our own style and follow the judges' standards. If they don't all look exactly the same, what's the difference between that and the products produced on the assembly line?"

At this time, the driver interrupted: "My brother is right. Just like today's celebrities, they all look the same and no one can tell them apart."

Lao Chen turned to the driver and said, "Isn't that right? Art itself is diversified and requires a hundred flowers to bloom."

Driver: "Yes, that's right."

Song Lian and Bai Leng Lao Chen said: "You understand again."

Old Chen pouted: "Ask Chen Xuan if what I said is right."

Chen Xuan: "It's too one-sided, but it makes sense."

Lao Chen continued to twist his neck: "Xiaoxuan, your performance today is the most outstanding among the players."

The father and daughter looked at each other for two or three seconds. As their eyes met, Chen Xuan smiled and said impatiently: "I know, I know, turn around quickly."

Old Chen grinned, turned around and adjusted his seat belt again. After a moment, he said, "Since you insist on going your own way, then stick to it."

This last sentence of Old Chen's voice was not loud, and it returned to Chen Xuan's familiar tone, but every word hit his heart.

After a while, "Thank you, Dad."

Lao Chen smiled and said, "Don't talk about that," he shook his head and looked out the window and murmured, "We're almost there." Outside the car window, there was busy neon traffic, and on the car window was a guilty face of his father.
-

"Okay, that's it for now. I'll ask about the musical instrument first."

"Well, Sister Xu, you should also go to bed early. We can keep in touch at any time."

"bye."

After hanging up Xu Li's call, Li An let out a sigh of relief. If nothing else happens, the Shuren matter has been settled. Judging from the results of the meeting reported by Xu Li, putting aside personal relationships, the Shuren school plans for them. The book itself is also very interesting.

The next step is to take every step steadily and don't let the duck fly away again.

"Tsk, tsk," Sun Yuman joked from behind, "Hide it deeply, Teacher Li."

"The contract hasn't been signed yet," Sun Yuman is not an outsider, and Ang Lee doesn't shy away from it. "It's too early to say anything now. In the end, the contract will have to be the issue."

Sun Yuman: "You have taken action, but this matter can still get away with."

The driver stopped the car and the two got out of the car one after the other.

"I have also benefited from the parents of the students, but I have no chance to benefit from it." Li An explained.

Sun Yuman: "I haven't heard from Xiaomi when it happened."

"What happened in the past few days is a coincidence."

Li An briefly told what happened. After listening to this, Sun Yuman felt sincerely happy for Chen Xuan and Li An. She knew exactly which school the scholar was from. With Li An's ability and the resources of the scholar, With blessing, won’t the white money come rolling in?

As Chen Xuan's good sister, Sun Yuman often wanted to help the two but could not find the right opportunity.

very nice.

Sun Yuman: "Xiaomi still doesn't know?"

Li An: "I don't know, I haven't told her yet."

Sun Yuman: "It can be considered as a gain and a loss. Hey Li An, if you could choose one of the two, would you rather Xiaomi enter the finals or negotiate a cooperation with the book writer?"

Ang Lee: "Wang Xiaohu doesn't even do multiple-choice questions anymore."

Sun Yuman: "Don't change the topic, you can only choose one of the two."

Li An: "Then what should I choose? Let's earn money slowly. She is already this age. Can she still participate in another session? Registration is restricted."

Sun Yuman: "Oh, it's a bit touching. I believe it. If she was only twenty, would you choose the latter?"

Ang Lee: "Then I really have to think about it."

Sun Yuman: "Hahahaha"

Li Anle: "The car is here."

As soon as Chen Xuan and his family got out of the car, they saw Li An and Sun Yuman smiling, and Li An and Sun Yuman also saw the smiles of the family of three.

Chen Xuan: "Let's do it!"

Sun Yuman: "Let's do it!"

Lao Chen: "We made an agreement in advance today that no one will compete with me. I will treat you to this meal."

Li An: "Uncle, didn't you agree to follow my arrangements today?"

Song Lian: "Listen to your uncle."

Li An: "Listen to Auntie."

The five people walked into the barbecue restaurant happily.

After ordering the food in the private room, Chen Xuan asked with a smile: "Don't you two have a drink today?"

Li An: "Look at uncle."

Lao Chen: "I'm fine with that. Can Xiaoyu drink some too?"

Sun Yuman: "Okay!"
-

There was no toast, no mention of wine, the meat was grilled as soon as it was served, and eaten as soon as it was grilled, except that Li An took the initiative to touch Lao Chen's wine glass with both hands during the first drink, and then everything was like a family eating naturally.

"This meat is so tender."

"Xiaomi is delicious."

"Uncle, please try this dish, their specialty here"

"Taste it."

"Oh, this dish is meant to be eaten directly. You have to put it on and bake it, you idiot."

"."

While eating, Chen Xuan took out her vibrating phone, and a call came from Teacher Xiao.

The dinner table fell silent for an instant.

Li An: "Just answer it."

Chen Xuan picked up the phone and said, "Hey teacher, I just got back to school. My father and mother, Li An Xiaoyu, are both here."

After a moment, he said, "We came directly to eat. We originally wanted to wait for you in the concert hall. Hmm, I know it's inconvenient for you."

"No, don't worry, teacher, I'm fine. I didn't expect to get this grade in the end."

Everyone could vaguely hear Xiao Hongxia comforting Chen Xuan on the phone, and the atmosphere at the dinner table seemed a little heavy for a while.

"Yes, teacher, I know. I told Xiaoye in the backcourt that it really doesn't matter to me whether I make it to the finals or not. Teacher, just don't blame me. I'm just worried that you will say I'm disobedient."

"Hey, you love me the most."

"We haven't discussed the details yet. Li An and I should go back on the 22nd. Okay, teacher, please do your work first. After that, you should go to bed early."

"Okay, good night, teacher."

After hanging up the phone with Teacher Xiao, the last trace of worry in Chen Xuan's heart disappeared. She was really worried that Teacher Xiao would blame her for going her own way on this stage, even though she had graduated many years ago.

But Teacher Xiao didn't blame her at all, and kept comforting her.

With such a teacher, such a boyfriend, such a good friend, such a mother and father, and accompanied by these most important people in her life, Chen Xuan felt that this Faren Bell Competition could be declared a successful conclusion. .

Putting down her phone, Chen Xuan picked up her first glass of wine tonight.

"Thank you dad, thank you mom, thank you Xiaoyu, thank you Teacher Li, thank you for taking the time to accompany me to participate in this competition."

"You are all the people who know me best. I said I don't care about the results, so I definitely don't care. So don't feel sorry for me anymore. I am very happy on the court and I am very happy when I come off the court. I am very happy when I know the results. Happy, very happy at the moment.”

"This is a happy glass of wine for you, my beloved."

With a few simple words, Chen Xuan reignited the atmosphere in the private room.

With different emotions, everyone raised their cups together. This cup was dedicated to their favorite millet.

"Wait a minute!" Sun Yuman suddenly interrupted, "After finishing this glass of wine, Teacher Li will announce an announcement!"

Chen Xuan's heart tightened, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to be happy. Could it be that Sun Yuman and Li An had discussed some bloody plot? !

It’s so embarrassing to do this in front of your parents! ! !

The atmosphere in the private room changed again, and everyone's eyes turned to Li An's face. Chen Xuan was crazily saying goodbye in her heart, but at the same time she couldn't restrain her anticipation!

At the same time, outside the Poly Theater, after Xiao Hongxia called Chen Xuan, she called Ye Xinyi.

She thought that she would let Chen Xuan have a good rest and relax tonight, and tomorrow she would have a good chat with Chen Xuan about going abroad.

But she didn't know that Chen Xuan was no longer relaxed at all.

Within one glass of wine, Chen Xuan experienced 800 different moods, and her face turned red the moment she put down the glass.
