Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 938 198. Sorry kid, we don’t have time to go through the normal process.
"Sister Beautiful."

"The busy man is back."

"Busy."

Just as Li An expected, the art examination department was much quieter today than it was a week ago.

The hall has returned to its usual afternoon tranquility. Two suitcases are placed in the rest corner, but there is no sign of their owners.

"Teacher Li!"

Li An turned around when he heard the voice and saw the singing student Lu and his family of three walking towards the front desk with bags.

"You're leaving too."

Student Lu trotted over and nodded reluctantly: "Actually, I want to stay one more night, but I'm worried about the traffic jam at the test site tomorrow morning."

Li An nodded: "Just relax, you'll be fine."

Student Lu chuckled and said, "I think I'm okay too."

Li Anle: "That's right, you have to have this confidence. I wish you all the best."

Student Lu: “Thank you!”

Li An: "Go get busy."

Student Lu: "Yeah, bye Teacher Li, bye Teacher Wang."

Li An: "Bye."

Wang Meili smiled and pointed to a line of large characters on the door, "Goodbye, Xiao Lu."

[ID card! ID card! ID card! ID card! ID card! ID card! ]

Like Lu, quite a number of art exam candidates will choose a place close to the examination site on the eve of entering the examination room.

Most parents will also temporarily put aside their work and choose to accompany their children throughout the day.

All of this is just for the sake of a smooth final outcome.

Whether it's as short as half a year or as long as five or six years, the students and their families have paid so much for their future.

Wish you good luck, that's what Ang Lee wants to say to all art exam candidates.

"Sis, you are busy. I will go see them."

"Go quickly. By the way, Ji Yang also came here this morning."

Although Xiao Ji did not say hello in advance, Li An was not surprised at all.

Xiao Ji has finished the exam.

In the piano room 802, Gao Ruijin was playing at the piano, Mu Xin was sitting beside him, and Zhao Weida was swiping his phone against the wall.

Just as Gao Ruijin withdrew his hand, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Everyone looked over, and then saw Li Ang breaking in.

"teacher."

"teacher!"

"Brother An."

Mu Xin was about to stand up and give up his seat when Li An raised his hand to signal Mu Xin to continue. He turned around and asked Zhao Weida what he was doing with his phone.

Everyone could tell that his tone was smiling.

Zhao Weida sighed: "Teacher, I'm checking the precautions before the exam."

Li Anle: "Then you can check slowly, Ah Xin, how long will it take?"

Mu Xin: “About a quarter of an hour.”

Li An: "Let's finish and gather in Music Theory Classroom 2."

After saying that, he left.

Back in the corridor, Li An quickly found 810 following the sound of the piano.

There was a window on the door of Room 810. Min Zhen and Luo Xiaoran were sitting inside with their backs to the door. Senior Sister Ji was saying something to them, and laughter could be heard outside the door.

At this moment, Senior Sister Xiao Ji discovered a face outside the door and window!

"teacher!"

Li An pushed the door open, and the two people who were facing the door turned around at the same time.

The teacher he had been thinking about day and night finally came back. Xiao Luo stood up excitedly: "Teacher, you are finally back!"

Not really, Li An said with a smile: "Didn't I say I would be back today before I left?"

Then Min Zhen continued: "We guessed that you might not come back. Aren't you going to Guangshi again soon?"

Li An: "Then you have an exam tomorrow. Can I not come back today?"

Luo Xiaoran: "Now that you're back I feel like I'm back to normal!"

Li An glared: "Don't say that. Whether I come back or not, you have to be able to do it."

Luo Xiaoran: “Yeah yeah yeah!”

Senior Sister Xiao Ji smiled and said, "Teacher~"

Li An asked the two, "What special treatment did Senior Sister give you?"

Min Zhen: "Senior Sister is sharing the exam waiting guide with us."

Li An: "Okay, then you guys continue. Meet in Music Theory Classroom 2 in half an hour."

After that, Ang Lee looked around before he found Gao Shen, who was practicing the piano alone on the ninth floor.

After listening outside the door for a while, Li An sighed, then raised his hand and knocked on the door. When he touched the door handle, he found it was locked.

"profound."

The sound of the piano from inside the door stopped, and after a burst of quick footsteps, the door of the piano room was opened.

"Teacher Li, you're back." Gao Shen opened the door and stepped aside.

"I came back this morning." Li An motioned Gao Shen to sit down, closed the door and took off his coat. "The speed just now was still fast. Let's do it again."

The classroom atmosphere came in an instant.

Gao Shen sat down and began to play again. Suddenly the sound of the piano was crackling and quite powerful.

Li An came behind Gao Shen and he could clearly feel Gao Shen's nervousness.

Although there is nothing wrong with the content of the performance, if something goes wrong when performing in such a state, it will be a big problem.

Li An was worrying about Gao Shen's exam tomorrow, and then he heard a series of descending arpeggios that were misplaced and overturned.

Gao Shen, who made a mistake, wanted to find the rhythm and start over, but he failed twice in a row, as if he had forgotten the score.

"Let's go here first." Li An said and sat down next to Gao Shen.

Gao Shen withdrew his hand and sighed: "Sorry, Mr. Li."

Li An looked at Gao Shen's right hand, which was still shaking slightly, and said, "What is there to apologize for? If I needed to apologize, I would have bowed to all the performers during the rehearsal the day before yesterday."

Gao Shen's face was suddenly filled with shock.

Ang Lee looked directly at Gao Shen and said, "The rehearsal the day before yesterday was not going well. There were all kinds of problems with my playing, and the conductor was very helpless in the end."

The conductor is helpless? Gao Shen couldn't believe it. How could Teacher Li be so helpless?
Li An: "Do you have cigarettes in your pocket?"

Gao Shen thought he had heard it wrong: "Ah."

Li Anle: "What? Is the cigarette in your pocket?"

"Uh," Gao Shen was confused, but he did have a cigarette in his pocket, so he took it out slowly and said, "Teacher."

"Stop practicing for now and come with me." Li An stood up again, and Gao Shen also stood up.

After many twists and turns, Li An brought Gao Shen to a rooftop on the ninth floor.

Gao Shen just realized that there was such a place in the Art Examination Department. He walked to the teacher's side, held the railing and looked down, then quickly retracted his head.

so high.

"cigarette."

Gao Shen took out a cigarette and a lighter, but the teacher asked him to light one, which made him confused for a moment. How could a student smoke in front of the teacher?
"Do you three think I'm stupid? How could I not know whether you smoke or not?"

"Teacher, this is not good."

"Then it's up to you," Li An lit up a cigarette, "How long have you practiced today?"

Gao Shen: "I practiced from nine in the morning until just now."

Li An: "I didn't eat lunch."

Gao Shen: "I ate it and brought a piece of bread."

moment.

Li An: "Teacher Tang sent me a message yesterday saying that you were in good shape. What happened today? How did you practice this morning?"

Gao Shen didn't know what happened to him. "It was fine at the beginning, but when I got to the left hand descending arpeggio, I made a mistake the first time. I corrected it and continued playing, but I made the same mistake the second time."

Li An: "Then I started to get nervous, worried about this happening on the test tomorrow, so I started practicing over and over again. The more I practiced, the more mistakes I made. I started to deny myself, thinking that I hadn't practiced this part well before. I might have tried to let myself rest for a while and practice something else, but I couldn't help but practice that part again, and I made mistakes the first time I played it. It was over, it collapsed."

profound:"."

Li An: "Gao Shen, there is no one else now. Let me tell you, your psychological quality is not as good as Gao Ruijin, and your stability is not as good as Luo Xiaoran."

A cold wind blew across the rooftop, Gao Shen's back felt cold but his face was hot.

Lee Ang: "Don't defend yourself."

Gao Shen shook his head.

Li An smiled: "This is not like your character. Tell me, why were you so hostile to me when you first came? At that time, Lan Tian recruited a lot of people in your school, but I only specifically asked for you and Min Zhen. Or maybe you said that after listening to a round of trial classes, you felt that there was a problem with my teaching, and you didn't want to study with me, but wanted to study with other teachers, but in the end you were assigned to me, huh?"

Gao Shen: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li."

Li An: "Relax, I don't mean to blame you. Later I also saw that you have changed a lot, so I always thought you were a sensible child. What was the reason at that time?"

Gao Shen sighed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm not targeting you. You're a great teacher, and I've gained a lot from studying with you, both in terms of playing skills and the emotions of the music. Without your guidance, I wouldn't have made such progress."

"It's my own problem. It wasn't my personal wish to come here at that time."

Li An: "Did your family force you to come here?"

Gao Shen: “I guess so.”

Li An blinked and said, "What do you mean by 'I guess so'? With your personality, I don't believe your parents can force you to come if you don't want to."

a long time.

Gao Shen: "There is another teacher, my piano teacher at home."

Sure enough, after hearing this, Li An was able to connect the contents of the advanced strategy.

[In the past four days, Gao Shen has called Teacher Gu every afternoon]

Li An: "My mentor."

Gao Shen: "Yeah."

Li An: "Can you tell me about your teacher?"

Gao Shen: "My teacher's last name is Gu, Gu Guoliang. You must have never heard of him. He is not well-known in our local area. He is not a professional pianist, so his performance level is not high. But he is also very good at teaching. I had never learned from other teachers before taking the class with you."

Li An: "Don't your high school art classes have professional courses?"

Gao Shen showed a disdainful expression: "Those high school teachers only care about the tuition fees. If you don't pay them privately for small classes, they won't schedule a separate class for you in school. You just listen to others' classes, that's it."

Li An didn't know what to say for a moment.

Gao Shen: "And even if you pay, those teachers won't teach you anything. Min Zhen paid to sign up for a small class at the time. He said that most of the class was spent chatting."

Li An: "Are there many students in your school who sign up for small classes?"

Gao Shen: "A lot. Only if you sign up for a small class will the teachers recommend you to the training institutions in Chengdu. So even if everyone knows what's going on, they are still willing to pay because everyone thinks the teachers in these institutions are better."

"The teachers in our school tell you almost every day that if you behave well, they will recommend you to a certain teacher in Rongcheng. As long as you follow that teacher, there won't be any big problems."

Damn it! Li Anxin sighed that these people were too cruel. Isn't this obviously blackmail?
They use some non-existent resources to give students empty guarantees, making them pay the money but not hand in the goods.

Ang Lee believes that this is not the case everywhere, but the situation Gao Shen described is definitely not an isolated case.

Li An: "Has your school always been like this before?"

Gao Shen: "It has always been like this, until this year when an institution in Chengdu came to recruit students from us, we realized that it is not that difficult to study here."

Li An couldn't help but sigh at how much resistance Qin Yong had to withstand to get these schools down: "You've come here and seen that it's not just about being here, it also depends on personal efforts."

Gao Shen: "I have always felt this way, so I don't want to come here. I want to prove it to my teacher through my own efforts."

Li An: "I don't deny some facts, but you have to understand that what you said is only one of the situations. What I want to tell you is that most teachers are excellent, just like your teacher. I can see that you have a deep affection for your teacher and you respect your teacher very much."

Gao Shen: "Yes, he is the person I respect the most. Without him, I would not be where I am today. He is the kindest person I have ever met. You are also a teacher I respect very much. Do you only charge fifty per class at home?"

Private piano lessons cost fifty per lesson, it's 2023
Li An couldn't answer this question, but he believed Gao Ming's words: "Since he wants to come, it at least shows that he has judgment. Why don't you want to listen to him? Or what do you want to prove?"

Gao Shen pursed his lips and said, "I want to prove that he is also capable of sending a student to the piano department of the music college."

Li An was slightly startled, thinking that this child is really a person of temperament. I understand, I understand. It turns out that the pressure is here.

But the exam is tomorrow, kid, and we don’t have time to follow the normal procedures.

Li An: "Gao Shen, I roughly understand your thoughts, but according to your description, your thoughts just reflect that you don't approve of your teacher."

Gao Shen: “I didn’t!”

Li An: "Don't glare at me. Wait a minute, I suddenly realized. Did your teacher know that Blue Sky is recruiting students this year and that I'm at Blue Sky, so he forced you to come?"

Gao Shen didn't dare to grit his teeth: "Teacher Li, please don't talk about my teacher like that."

Li An lit up another cigarette and said after a moment: "Are you denying what I said? Could it be that this is not the plot?"

Gao Shen's throat moved for a while, and then he squeezed out word by word: "Teacher Li, please respect my teacher."

Li An laughed: "I'll say it again, don't glare at me. Didn't your teacher teach you how to respect others?"

Before Gao Shen's angry pupils could expand, he saw the smiling face in front of him suddenly change.

"If you're really fucking capable, then bring about a complete revolution!"

"I'm still correcting my mistakes today while I'm taking the test tomorrow!"

"You talk about your determination without any basis, but you don't have the ability to achieve perfection, and you don't even have the courage to bear the consequences!"

meal.

"Do you know what self-righteousness is?"

Li An moved closer to Gao Shen and lowered his voice: "You are not self-righteous, you have embarrassed your teacher. It's very embarrassing."

Their eyes met, "You don't think you're cool, do you?"
-
In the Music Theory Classroom 2, the students were chatting and laughing while waiting for the teacher and Gao Shen.

At this time, Min Zhen came back and said, "No one is on the ninth floor. He is not in the dormitory and he didn't even take his cell phone."

Luo Xiaoran: "Bathroom?"

Min Zhen was about to go find it when Mu Xin stopped him, "Forget about the toilet, it's quite stressful."

Everyone hahahaha——

Min Zhen thought about it and agreed. Who would like to be urged when going to the toilet? Besides, the teacher wasn’t here yet.

Suddenly, a faint shout was heard from outside the window. Everyone looked outside and saw that the sky was gloomy.

"Who?"

"I don't know, it should be a man, what did he shout?"

"It seems I didn't."

Just then, "Nothing."

Everyone turned around and saw Teacher Tang’s smiling face appear at the classroom door.

The next second, "Hello, Teacher Tang" x5.

"How was your practice today?" Old Tang walked in and looked around. "Hey, where's your teacher? Isn't he here already?"
