Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 941 201. The firelight under the nocturne, another year of art exams is over
Give applause to your classmates, to your teachers, and to yourself.

When the applause died down, the art exam candidates thought the teacher would say something.

They know the teacher, and they know that the teacher will say something at such a moment.

They also want to hear what the teacher has to say.

Senior Sister Xiao Ji’s camera is ready to record the next moment.

What was unexpected was that after the applause ended, the teacher turned and walked towards the piano they had just played.

Ok?
Does the teacher want to play the piano?

Uh-huh? !
Then Ang Lee answered this question with practical actions. Sitting in front of the piano, he adjusted the distance to the piano stool.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and pointed.

“Ding—”

A bright note floated up and then circled into the sky.

Chopin's Nocturne No. 2 in E-flat major, Op. 9 No. 2.

The melody slowly unfolds on the arpeggios in the bass part, like a confession that goes directly into everyone's ears.

After just a few bars, the entire concert hall seemed to be enveloped in a mist.

The soft and fragile piano sound made the art exam candidates deeply immersed in a moving atmosphere, as if their tired nerves were being awakened by the lightness of the major key.

It awakened the desires and expectations buried deep in their hearts, and awakened the bitterness and sweetness they experienced along the way.

When the music entered the next section, they seemed to be back in the dark and quiet night.

They couldn't see the direction in the darkness and began to feel anxious and confused.

Not long after, four consecutive piano sounds came from the distance like the sound of a temple bell.

The sound of the bell was like the sound of a clear spring, like fire and light slowly appearing in the darkness.

Chasing the fire and light, they briefly stopped being restless.

The music continued to move forward, and they followed the music into the depths of the night, across the wilderness.

The music continued to move forward as they crossed the mountains.

The music became slower and slower, seemingly unable to keep up with their pace. When they noticed it, the sky was already clear.

Look ahead, the road ahead is bright.

Looking back, I no longer saw the fire and the light.

"Well, all the students in Class 23 of the Blue Sky Arts Examination Department of 802 have graduated successfully. I wish you all the best."

"thank you all."

bow.

"Wow——————"

"Come on, classmates, let's take a group photo."

Click.

Lao Tang and Mu Xin left the last bit of time to Li An and his students and retreated early.

On the way back, Lao Tang asked Mu Xin how he felt.

Mu Xin said she missed her art exam teacher a little.

Lao Tang actually also misses Mr. Huang. If he is today's Zhao Weida, then Mr. Huang is the former Ang Lee.

But now his teacher-student relationship with Teacher Huang can never go back to what it was before.

Mu Xin: "Actually, I have always had some doubts. Isn't Mr. Huang doing very well? The company is still in your local area."

Lao Tang: "The work intensity there is too high, it's not suitable for me."

Mu Xin: "No, it seems like you are very motivated."

Lao Tangle: “Is there?”

Mu Xin: “Of course.”

Lao Tang: "Then I'll take it as a compliment. Why did you come all the way here? Isn't your place the largest piano training center in Shenzhen?"

Mu Xin: "The work intensity there is too high, it's not suitable for me."

Lao Tang: "You still hold a grudge."

Mu Xin: "Haha, it's exposed."

Lao Tang: “.”

Mu Xin: "Hurry up and decide on the piece of music. Choose between Bach and Mozart. Hurry up."

Lao Tang: "Mozart."

Mu Xin smiled: "That's great!"

Lao Tang thought to himself, if I still insist on choosing Bach, will I be able to see your straightforward side?

Mu Xin: "Let's go practice the piano. Are you hungry?"

Lao Tang: "I'm not hungry, wait, didn't we agree to have dinner before leaving?"

Mu Xin: "You are missing that meal. If you are not hungry, just go back to the store. One day's rent can cover your food for half a month."

Lao Tang: "This is an incredible calculation. We don't have to pay rent here."

Mu Xin: "That's not something An Ge needs to pay."

Lao Tang thought about it carefully and thought that this sounded interesting, but then he thought it was not right, because you don’t have to pay rent!
-
Not long after Old Tang and Mu Xin left, Gao Ruijin was picked up by his parents.

Next came Luo Xiaoran. When Luo Xiaoran left, he said in a manly way, “Come on, brothers!”

Next came Zhao Weida and Min Zhen.

Gao Shen was the last one to leave, and it was Teacher Gu who called Gao Shen.

Just like when he sent every child off, at the elevator door, Ang Lee smiled and patted Gao Shen's shoulder.

"Let's go, say hello to Teacher Gu for me."
-
After seeing off all the art exam candidates, it would be a lie for Li Ang to say that he didn't feel any emotion.

Fortunately, there is another one around.

Xiao Ji: "Teacher, shall we go too?"

Li An smiled: "Are you going to take me home?"

Xiao Ji: “Of course.”

Li An: "Let's go, I'll enjoy the good life with you today."

Xiao Ji: “No way.”

However, there was no warm reminiscing scene between teachers and students on the way home.

During the evening rush hour, Li An, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was more nervous than his classmate Xiao Ji who was holding the steering wheel.

"Ji Yang, we are not in a hurry, please go slowly."

"Teacher, please don't talk either."

Finally passing the last congested section, both the teacher and the student breathed a sigh of relief.

"Teacher, what did you just say?"

"I told you to slow down."

"Am I not slow enough?"

"I mean you should be gentle on the brakes."

"Hahaha."

"Don't laugh and look at the road."

"Don't worry, teacher, please call Linlin."
-
Xiaoche, who had just returned home from school, was doing his homework when suddenly a cell phone rang behind him.

"teacher."

"It's OK. I ate a lot at noon."

"Yes, yes, teacher."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoche hesitated for a moment and then put on his clothes and prepared to go downstairs.

The teacher asked her to go downstairs in five minutes, and she planned to take a walk downstairs first.

Before going out, she filled a thermos with a glass of water and put two handfuls of cat food in a plastic bag.

After going downstairs and walking around, the car found the door of the little white cat's nest.

There was no trace of the cat in the nest, the small plastic dish beside the nest was empty, and there was only a little bottom left in the water basin.

Pour out the water in the basin and replace it with clean new water, then fill the rice bowl up, and then the cart leaves.
-
"Linlin!"

"Senior sister!"

For dinner, Li An treated the two sisters to beef soup.

He couldn't get a word in during the meal and could only listen to the two sisters talking back and forth.

After dinner, Senior Sister Xiao Ji asked Xiao Che if he was in a hurry to go back. In fact, she also wanted to take the teacher to the entrance of Sigang.

Xiao Che naturally wanted to ride in her senior sister's car. She wanted to watch her drive, but her words didn't count. She had to see it from the teacher.

"Then let's go." Li An could see what Xiaoche was thinking, "But don't stay too long, just walk around nearby."

"We'll be back in half an hour at most," Xiao Ji urged the teacher to get in the car quickly, "Teacher, I'll take you to a good place."

"What good place?" Li Anxin thought that there were other good places nearby that he didn't know about. "Linlin, you must be careful when you sit in the front."

"Yeah!" What's unsafe about sitting in the passenger seat of the senior sister's car? The car feels very safe.

As a result, she was hit by a sudden brake at the first intersection. "Sorry, sorry, Linlin, are you okay?"

"Senior Sister, I'm fine!"

Although he said it was okay, Xiaoche's left hand subconsciously grasped the handle beside him.

It was supposed to be a relaxing drive after dinner, but no one dared to talk after passing the intersection.

Until the car slowly stopped on the auxiliary road of Tianhu Avenue.

"Wow"

Xiaoche looked out the window and opened his mouth, "So beautiful!"

"How's it going, teacher?" Xiao Ji made sure the car was in P gear before releasing his foot. Seeing that the car was indeed motionless, he turned around and said, "Isn't it great?"

"Not bad." Li An nodded.

Under the night sky, the artistic characters "Piano Classroom No. 4" have an elegant beauty.

The pure white door sign blends seamlessly with the black and white checkered design in the window. The wooden stage corner next to the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor creates a strong artistic atmosphere.

It really looked like that, and Li An couldn't help but smile.

It’s really good, it’s really good, much better than those photos posted in the group.

Do these people know how to take photos?

During the few days that Li An was away, all the finishing work of Sigang's decoration had been completed, and the installation of the artistic lighting on the doorhead was just completed yesterday morning.

Money is still good.

"Teacher, are you still going in for a look?"

"I'm not going in. Someone is busy on the second floor."

Xiao Che had already noticed it, "Teacher, have the repertoires for Teacher Mu and Teacher Tang been decided?"

Li An frowned: "Maybe we'll know tonight."

Xiaoche: "Well, teacher, should I still play Beethoven then?"

Lee Ang: "Huh? What else do you want to play?"

Xiao Ji understood everything: "Linlin means that she had already played the F minor sonata yesterday."

Li An: "Oh, that's what I mean. Then you have to play it too. The purpose of our concert is to recruit students and to showcase them. You are our trump card."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Che hurriedly shook his head, which made Senior Sister Xiao Ji laugh out loud.

"Stop laughing. Let's go. Ji Yang, let me tell you, let your dad take good care of you. It's not okay for you to slam on the brakes all the time."

"Oh, my dad is about to give up."

"Your dad can't. Just don't take it lightly. Driving is not a trivial matter. You have to take the elevated road to go to school. It's too dangerous to do this on the elevated road. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, teacher, don't worry, I will pay attention."

On the way back, Senior Sister Xiao Ji performed quite well and drove the car smoothly all the way to the south gate of Yunkaiyuan.

"Goodbye, senior sister!"

"Goodbye, Linlin. Teacher, shall I pick you up tomorrow morning?"

"No, I suggest you don't drive tomorrow. Go find a parking space near the school now."

"Yes, see you tomorrow, teacher!"
-
After a day of hard work, Li An finally got home and looked around as he entered the house.

"Where's my luggage?"

"Wang Xiaohu put it in your study."

"Oh, go study quickly. You still have exams in a whole week. Don't practice the piano these few days. Focus on reviewing your lessons."

Xiaoche changed into slippers and asked, "Can't play a certain one at all?"

Lee Ang: "Occasionally, you can relax for a while."

Xiaoche: “Roar!”

Xiaoche went back to the house to do his homework, and Li An cleaned up the house.

Well, there isn't much hair at home.

Oh, I don’t know if Bawan has eaten dinner.

Hey.
-
After finishing his work, Li An sent a message to Chen Xuan.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuan sent back a screenshot, in which Chen Xuan was video chatting with Yu Xiaolu.

Ang Lee knew that Chen Xuan would definitely have to contact a few flute art student candidates tonight.

Ten minutes later, Chen Xuan's video call came.

Given that tonight's theme was somewhat special, the two played for twenty minutes longer than usual.

Chen Xuan: “I hope everything goes well for them.”

Lee An: “I hope so.”

Chen Xuan: "Didn't you send a message to those online students in your hometown to show your concern?"

Li An: "I sent them messages while we were having dinner tonight. They all seemed to be in good condition. I wonder if we were a little too worried."

Chen Xuan: "I hope so. I won't say any more. I'm going to practice my flute now."

Li An: "Go ahead, have a good meal tonight, don't make do with it. You still say I make do with it, isn't that a double standard?"

Chen Xuan: "Oh, I know, I know."

There are only two days left until the 10th, I hope everything goes well for Teacher Xiaomi.
-
At a quarter past ten, Li An heated up the milk and asked Xiaoche to come out to drink.

Xiao Che originally wanted to tell the teacher that he would be moving back home after his final exams, but when she thought of the scene where her senior sister said that the teacher would send several older brothers and sisters off this afternoon, she felt that today was not the right day to tell the teacher.

Wait a minute, after Teacher Chen finishes the exam in two days, he will definitely be in a very good mood.

"Linlin, you can arrange your schedule tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I have to stay in Rongyuan during the day."

"Well, don't worry, teacher."

"By the way, Mr. Mu and his team have decided on the repertoire: Mozart K.448."

"expect!"

Before going to bed, Li An planned his schedule for the next few days. He will accompany the art exam candidates tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and Chen Xuan will take the exam on the 10th. He will stay in the store to deal with admissions issues.

The concert program list was made on the 11th, and the concert time was tentatively set. We would set off for Guangzhou at noon on the 12th.

That's it.

'Good night, Mr. Xiaomi, keep going,'

-

In the following two days, as Li Ang expected, he was busier than the students taking the art exam.

Of course, he is not only busy because of the children in Class 802. As one of the team leaders of Lantian, he also has to worry about other children, including Yu Xiaolu and others.

Countless stories happen in the art examination halls every year, and Li Ang and his students also encountered some situations.

The most serious thing was that Luo Xiaoran suddenly had a fever and entered the examination room with a temperature of 38 degrees. Luo Xiaoran really worried Li Ang when he entered the examination room.

There will no longer be a fixed judging panel this year. The judging panel will be randomly rotated for each exam, and the judging panel will no longer be composed solely of teachers from a few colleges in Chengdu.

If it were in previous years, Ang Lee could have inquired through private channels.

It’s not that there is no solution this year, but he can’t cause any more trouble for Teacher Wei.

Fortunately, when Luo Xiaoran came out, he said that he played quite well, so Li Ang was relieved for the time being.

Everyone else had no problem either, and they all had smiles on their faces when they came out of the examination room, except Zhao Weida, who looked a little unhappy.

Zhao Weida broke down once, and Li An could only comfort him.

This is what art exams are like, they happen in the present tense.

Wait for the results. After all, the major only accounts for a part, and there are three minor subjects. Zhao Weida may not be able to choose a suitable school based on the joint entrance examination results.

Zhao Weida's parents felt relieved when they heard what Li Ang said.

These two days, Li An spent more time with his parents, just like he did last year when he spent time with Mr. and Mrs. Ji, except that this year he had little Ji by his side, busying him around.

With Ma Fei coming specifically to help, Ang Lee doesn't have to do everything himself.

During this period, Li An also formally met the highly skilled Mr. Gu. He is indeed a good person, but too polite.

Even the polite Li An didn't know what to do, and he could understand this, so he took the initiative to leave Teacher Gu's contact information.

After the last exam, he personally sent Gao Shen and Teacher Gu to the car to go home.

And let Gao Shen go back and prepare well.

"There's another concert waiting for you."

Gao Shen nodded: "Teacher Li, don't worry, I will prepare well when I return."

Li An: "Teacher Gu, if you have time, please come and show your support."

Gu Guoliang's politeness left Li An at a loss.
-
When Li An returned home at eight o'clock in the evening on the 9th, he received a message from Xu Li as soon as he entered the door.

Then I called back, "What do you mean?"

On the other end of the phone, "Two parents came to the store for consultation just now. They are both parents of Shipo Primary School."

Tsk tsk, Li Anxin laughed and said their advertisement hasn’t been put out yet.

Yeah.

"Teacher, you are back!"

Just then, the little car ran happily to the entrance hall, with an apron hanging on it.
