The world's number one pianist

Ji Mengting watched He Shen give her an address, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. read

She really didn't know that He Shen actually lived in Ningcheng, Jiangzhou...

After all, no other student had ever said anything about He Shen, and He Shen was a particularly mysterious person in everyone's minds.

From the time he entered the school to leading the team on an expedition...

Everything is very mysterious.

Now, I actually have the opportunity to uncover a corner of the mysterious veil of He Shen!

Ji Mengting's originally very elegant expression has completely disappeared, leaving only expectation.

She quickly stopped a taxi and asked the taxi to take her to the direction of Teacher He Shen's home.

The taxi drove very fast, and not long after, she had arrived at He Shen's community.

The infrastructure at the entrance of the community is particularly complete, and the security guards are also extremely dedicated.

Swipe card access, pedestrian gates, etc...

At first glance, it is a very, very luxurious and high-end community.

And coupled with the fact that this community is now located in the center of Ningcheng, the housing prices in this place are definitely very, very expensive.

The image of a noble piano master immediately appeared in Ji Mengting's mind!

She quickly walked to the guard at the door, smiled gently at the guard standing there, bowed slightly, took out her mobile phone, and said.

"Hello, I would like to ask how to get to this place?"

The security guard immediately relaxed most of his vigilance when he saw Ji Mengting, and her extremely elegant smile dispelled 80% of his doubts.

It is absolutely impossible for a person with a ghost in his heart to smile like this at him.

Therefore, the security guard walked out of the security booth and took a look at the address on Ji Mengting's hand.

The moment he saw the address, 99% of the doubts in his heart disappeared instantly. He showed what he thought was a perfect smile to Ji Mengting, pointed to the inside of the community and said.

"No, just go inside. This is the villa area of ​​the community. This place is at the innermost location of the community, so you can see it as long as you keep walking inside."

"The signboards of those villas are all in very conspicuous positions. You can see them at a glance on the side of the villa and at the front entrance."

As he spoke, the security guard opened the door and let Ji Mengting walk in.

After Ji Mengting heard this, she bowed to the security guard again and thanked him, and walked towards the community.

The community is not big, with only a few rows of buildings from left to right.

But this community is very deep. From the most door to the innermost position, it is almost one or two kilometers.

By the time we arrived at the innermost villa area, we could no longer hear the sounds of the surrounding city at all.

It is completely a form of tranquility amidst the chaos.

The price of this kind of community in Ningcheng is at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan per square meter. This price was still a few years ago.

If it were the current price, maybe...

Ji Mengting tapped her chin, thought for a moment, and shook her head.

Her knowledge of Ningcheng's housing prices was still based on what she read in newspapers a few years ago. She had heard her mother talk about it before.

She really didn't know anything about the current housing prices in Ningcheng.

Ji Mengting looked at these villas and clicked on them one by one until she reached the one where He Shen was locked up. Her eyes lit up.

She immediately put away the surprise on her face, walked to the door of the villa, stood there, and sent a message to He Shen.

"Teacher He, I have arrived at your door. Should I ring the doorbell directly now?"

After the message was sent, it took about two minutes for He Shen's message to come back to her phone.

"Stand at the door and wait a moment. I'll come out now."

"Okay! Teacher He!"

Ji Mengting suppressed her inner excitement and looked in the direction of the villa door with great anticipation.

Today, she will become the first person in the school to unveil the mystery of He Shen.

This feeling is really exciting!

Back in school, I was very easy to talk to in front of other people.

After all, I am the only one among the students who knows where Teacher He lives!

Ji Mengting stood at the door so gracefully, waiting for He Shen. After waiting for about a minute, the door did not open, and He Shen's voice came from behind Ji Mengting.

"You're here..."

An extremely plain voice entered Ji Mengting's ears, and Ji Mengting immediately turned her head to take a look.

She found that Teacher He was still wearing the same clothes as in the previous school. He was standing behind her, looking at her indifferently.

When He Shen saw her turning back, he immediately nodded and said.

"Come on, follow me."

After that, he walked directly towards the side of the villa.

Ji Mengting looked at the direction He Shen was heading in, feeling a little confused for a moment.

Huh?

By the way, isn’t this Teacher He’s home? Why did he...

Ji Mengting had no idea what He Shen wanted to do when he went there, but she quickly walked behind He Shen and followed him in small steps to the next door of the villa.

The two of them followed the path at the edge of the villa and came to a strange doorway.

He Shen took out the key from his pocket and opened the door, revealing an extremely dark passage going downward.

Looking at the dark passage, He Shen nodded to Ji Mengting, pointed to the door and said.

"Come on, come in."

After that, He Shen walked directly to the bottom of the passage.

Ji Mengting looked at the passage and swallowed her saliva.

Her brain has gradually lost its ability to react.

Wait, didn't Teacher He live in the villa area?

Why...

Why did it become like this?

Why did Teacher He walk directly to an underground passage that led to nowhere?

This, this...

Ji Mengting looked at the dark passage, thought about it, and couldn't help closing her eyes.

Maybe?

Maybe this is actually Teacher He's underground studio, and Teacher He took her to his most important place?

Thinking about it, Ji Mengting finally took a step and walked down the extremely dark stairs.

Very careful.

Because it was too dark, she couldn't see clearly whether her feet were on the steps.

Finally, she walked carefully to the bottom and finally saw a little light.

She walked quickly towards the light, followed the light, pushed open the door, looked at the scene in the house, and was stunned.

This house...

No, it can't be called a house...

This is completely a basement!

An extremely gloomy basement!

A Yamaha grand piano was placed in the middle of the room, and music scores and other things were placed safely in other places.

A mattress was at the foot of the wall...

It was not messy, very clean.

But...

It was very small.

The entire basement was about ten square meters.

The only natural light was a window facing the concrete.

There was a hole in front of the window.

This hole was the opening for sunlight to come in.

It was very small and very aggrieved, which made people feel depressed.

Most of the time there was no natural light, and all the light came from the light bulb above the head.

This feeling was really terrible.

This was completely opposite to the teacher He she had imagined in her mind!

This should not be the teacher He she had imagined in her mind!

Ji Mengting looked at everything in front of her, and for a moment she didn't know what to do, and she didn't even know where to sit.

Seeing this, He Shen immediately took out the piano stool, pushed it in front of Ji Mengting, pointed at the piano stool, and said.

"Come, sit..."

"Teacher He..."

Ji Mengting followed He Shen's instructions blankly, sat on the piano stool, and took the lollipop that He Shen had just opened, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Her brain completely lost its reaction, and there was only one thing in her brain...

That was confusion.

She didn't know what to do now.

Should she sympathize with Teacher He?

Or joke with Teacher He?

Or... what to do specifically?

She didn't know at all...

All this was too far from what she thought...

She thought about it for a while, and said with great entanglement.

"Teacher He, you... you won't go back for the New Year?"

"No."

He Shen closed the piano cover, leaned against the piano cover, and said helplessly.

"My father and I have had a falling out, so I won't go back..."

"Huh?" Ji Mengting was even more confused...

"Well, I don't know how to explain this, but this is basically the situation..."

"Uh..."

Ji Mengting always felt that He Shen seemed to have changed a little. After breaking up with his father, he seemed to have become a little more cheerful?

Compared to his previous extremely cold appearance, he seemed to be a little more humane?

Ji Mengting was not sure about this feeling, but it just felt weird.

He Shen didn't feel anything. He looked at Ji Mengting who suddenly came to him, and didn't know what she wanted to do specifically.

Maybe just to wish a happy new year?

He Shen shook his head, looked around, found a bottle of water, handed it to Ji Mengting, and then took out a bunch of lollipops, put them in front of Ji Mengting, and said.

"Here, lollipops, eat some?"

"Uh..."

Ji Mengting didn't know what to say. She tilted her head, grabbed a few lollipops from a pile of lollipops and put them in her pocket, and continued to remain silent.

Her brain was still a mess.

There was no suitable topic at all.

After a long while, Ji Mengting came back to her senses and said to He Shen.

"Teacher He, Happy New Year. By the way, I was invited by my previous teacher today..."

"Your previous teacher?"

He Shen also took out a lollipop from the pile of lollipops, ate the lollipop, looked at Ji Mengting, and asked slowly.

"Is it the one from Haicheng Conservatory of Music?"

"Yes, my previous teacher, Teacher Qian..."

Ji Mengting forced herself to ignore the layout of He Shen's room and continued to talk to He Shen.

"He came to me and asked me to follow him back to Haicheng Conservatory of Music..."

"Well..." He Shen bit the lollipop and didn't speak.

Ji Mengting didn't care, but bit the lollipop in her mouth and continued to whisper.

"He asked me to go to Haicheng Conservatory of Music and said that I could go directly without taking the exam, which was considered a recommended place..."

"And there were many other things, he said a lot there..."

"Basically, it was an idea that I should continue to study with him or with other teachers at Haicheng Conservatory of Music..."

"My mother didn't fight back, she just asked me directly if I wanted to go, and even seemed to be a little moved..."

"She told me that it was only two or three hours from here to Haicheng, and it might be faster if I took the high-speed rail..."

"I didn't know what to do, so I ran over here, to you, Teacher He..."

"..."

He Shen looked at Ji Mengting and felt a little helpless for a while. It was useless to tell him about this.

He didn't help her at all, and he couldn't even help her at all.

He Shen thought about it and comforted her.

"It's okay. If you don't want to go, Haicheng Conservatory of Music won't force you to go. Our Jiangzhou Normal University Conservatory of Music is only a first-tier conservatory of music, but it's no worse than those other large conservatories of music!"

"As long as you don't want to, no one will force you!"

"Don't worry!"

He Shen comforted Ji Mengting, but found that the comforting effect was not great, and he couldn't help but feel more helpless.

However, He Shen suddenly found that Ji Mengting seemed to be shivering a little, as if...

He Shen looked at his room. He was used to living in this room and didn't feel anything.

But in fact, this room was very cold...

Because the piano needed to maintain a basic humidity, the humidifier and dehumidifier were always on.

There was no warming measure.

This caused the room to be very cold all the time, making Ji Mengting shiver all over.

He Shen thought about it and took out a large down jacket with the words Wuzhou Conservatory of Music printed on it from his wardrobe.

This was the down jacket that the school gave him when he was at Wuzhou Conservatory of Music.

He Shen kept it by his side and didn't use it much.

Therefore, when He Shen saw Ji Mengting like this, he immediately took out his down jacket and handed it to her.

"Down jacket."

"Huh?"

When Ji Mengting was thinking about something with her head down, she suddenly found that there was a down jacket in front of her. He Shen handed her his down jacket and her face turned red instantly.

"Hey, hey, hey... Teacher, this..."

"This is the down jacket I got from Wuzhou Conservatory of Music when I was in college."

"But, but..."

"Take it and wear it, I have another one here..."

"Hey, oh oh oh..."

Ji Mengting blushed, took the down jacket and put it on herself.

Not long after, her body softened instantly.

She felt her body wrapped in this He Shen down jacket, and her face flushed instantly.

She didn't know whether she was hot or shy...

After all, it was really strange to get her teacher's down jacket outside.

Therefore, Ji Mengting immediately jumped up from the piano bench and walked around the room.

"Old, old, teacher, you, your down jacket, um, good, so warm..."

As she spoke, she pretended to fan herself.

He Shen looked at Ji Mengting like this, and couldn't help but suddenly smiled, shook his head helplessly, stood up and dragged the piano stool to himself, put it in front of him, and nodded gently to her.

"Since it is very warm, then I will give you this piece of clothing. It's getting late now. You can take a rest and get ready to go."

After that, He Shen opened the piano cover in front of him, looked at the piano in front of him, and slowly placed his fingers on the piano.

Bang...

The sound of Chopin's nocturne slowly flowed out of the piano.

Nocturne, a piece of music played in the middle of the night...

A nocturne that makes people's mood slowly become extremely quiet...

This feeling made Ji Mengting's originally very shy mood gradually relax. She walked to the side, leaned against the wall, and looked at He Shen.

For a while, the whole room became extremely quiet, with only the sound of He Shen playing the piano.

The sound kept echoing in this small space, and was slowly absorbed by the surrounding sound insulation cotton.

This sound naturally has a different feeling.

It makes people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Ji Mengting didn't know whether she was too hot or the temperature of the whole room became higher because two people entered the room.

Ji Mengting felt that she was drunk.

In an extremely small room, two people, one played the piano and the other listened to the piano.

This feeling is really great.

He Shen played many works of Chopin, and each one was basically at the master level.

Chopin's prelude, Chopin's nocturne, Chopin's narrative, Chopin's concerto...

All kinds of music make the flow of time seem to slow down.

It was not until Ji Mengting's mobile phone suddenly rang that she came back to her senses.

And when she came back to her senses, her face was even redder!

She looked at He Shen and didn't dare to say anything for a while. She wanted to stuff herself into the down jacket.

Herself, herself...

She just listened to Teacher He playing the piano and got drunk.

She immediately took out her mobile phone, and the word "Mom" was displayed on the mobile phone.

He Shen stopped playing the piano and Ji Mengting immediately answered the phone.

An extremely gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello? Tingting, when will you be back? It's very late now. If you want me to pick you up, you'd better tell me now. If you don't come back at night... you must pay attention to safety. You are still young. If you have a child now, it will have a great impact on your future development! If the boy doesn't pay attention to safety, he just doesn't like you. You must remember this!"

"Mom~"

Ji Mengting said coquettishly, and said unhappily to her mother on the other end of the phone.

"I'm here with my teacher. I'm here to wish my teacher a happy new year. Mom, what are you thinking about~"

"Teacher?"

The voice on the other end of the phone stopped immediately, and then said very seriously.

"Mengting, how old is the teacher? Does he have a partner? What's his family like? I tell you, it's difficult for a teacher-student relationship to have a result! If you want to find a teacher, you must think it through. I..."

Ka...

Ji Mengting immediately hung up the phone in her hand, her face had turned red.

I don't know if it's because of heat or shyness.

She looked at He Shen, not knowing what to say for a moment, so she stood up and bowed slightly to He Shen.

"Teacher, I, I'll go back first! My mother urged me..."

"Well..."

He Shen opened the door, sent her out of the small basement, and nodded to her.

"Don't worry about being poached by Haicheng Conservatory of Music. Our school will always support you!"

"Well, well, well, thank you teacher..."

After saying that, she covered her face and ran quickly up the stairs, and soon disappeared from He Shen's sight.

He Shen looked at Ji Mengting's back, touched his chin, and shook his head.

He returned to his room and continued to practice the piano.

This is his daily compulsory course, and he must not give up.

In this way, time flows quickly.

Winter vacation... is over!
