It was rare that he had not changed much even after so many years. Lin Shuhui still remembered that he used to be so gentle and calm when he was young.
“Okay, then we’ll practice every day from now on. Actually, at your level, I can’t give you many pointers. At most, I’ll practice more with you.”
“Mrs. Lin, you’re too humble. I’ll benefit greatly from your guidance or company.”
Lin Shuhui said, “Then continue playing.”
“Okay.”
He sat down in front of the piano. The door was closed, and the music flowed through the room. The good soundproofing made the music a little heavier than before.
Lu Ke was also one of the best in the country. He had won many domestic awards and won a grand slam in top competitions.
However, he still needed to work hard in international competitions.
Lin Shuhui sat at the side and listened carefully.
After Lu Ke’s performance came to an end, Lin Shuhui gave him a few pointers.
Lu Ke’s eyes lit up, and he understood everything he said. “I didn’t think of that.
I’ll try again.”
This time, he clearly felt that he could perform with ease.
The connection between his emotions and his music was also more integrated.
In less than two hours, he felt that he had improved much more than usual. “Rest for a while,” Lin Shuhui said with a smile and handed him a cup of tea.
“Thank you, Mrs. Lin.” Lu Ke took it with both hands.
He suddenly thought of something and asked, “Mr. Lin, is Lil Yang Yang doing well?”
Lin Shuhui was stunned for a moment before remembering that he was asking about Qiao Weiyang.
When he came to learn from her, Qiao Weiyang was still very young. Occasionally, she would come from the Qiao family to visit her. Later on, when Qiao Weiyang lived with her permanently, Lu Ke rarely came because he was busy with his studies.
Therefore, he actually did not have much interaction with Qiao Weiyang. He only remembered that nickname of hers.
“She’s doing quite well. She’s going to participate in this competition with you this time. However, she signed up for the amateur category. She’s not in the same category as you.”
“I see. That’s good,” Lu Ke said. He turned around and went to get his bag. He took out a thin envelope. “I want to give this to her as a gift. Mrs. Lin, please pass it to her for me.”
It was just a thin envelope. She guessed that it probably did not contain something expensive.
If it was a check, it would not be in line with Lu Ke’s personality. Thus, she took it without hesitation. “Then I’ll thank you on behalf of Weiyang.”
“It’s nothing. Actually, I’m already very grateful that you took the time to help me,” Lu Ke said with a smile.
When Qiao Weiyang was on set, she received an inter-city package.
She touched the thin item inside. It didn’t look like a document, so she didn’t know what it was.
At this moment, Lin Shuhui called.
“Weiyang, it’s a gift from Lu Ke. Take a look for yourself.”
“Aunt Lin, why didn’t you keep it? Lu Ke must’ve wanted to give it to you, but he was afraid that you wouldn’t accept it, so he said it was for me.” Qiao Weiyang could tell the crux of the matter at a glance.
Lin Shuhui’s loving laughter sounded. “That might not be the case. It’s obvious that his gift was prepared for you. Besides, you two did know each other when you were young. It’s not out of line for him to give you this gift. As for what the gift is, I don’t know. Just take it.”
After Qiao Weiyang hung up, she opened the package.
There was an envelope inside. When the envelope was opened, there was a piece of paper inside with a QR code on it. There was also an exquisite illustration drawn on it. It was asking to scan the QR code.
Qiao Weiyang took out her phone and scanned the QR code.
After scanning it, there was nothing special. There was no link or website information. Instead, a call came in.
“Hello, may I ask where we should deliver the piano that was reserved?” A polite voice came from the other end.
“Piano?”
“This is the piano that Mr. Lu Ke has reserved. He left a message saying that after someone scans the QR code, we’ll inform the customer and send the piano to their residence. May I ask which address we should send the piano to?” Qiao Weiyang understood that this was a gift from Lu Ke.
He was afraid that Aunt Lin would not accept it, so he used some tricks to give it to her instead.
However, a gift like a piano was considered elegant. Qiao Weiyang gave her address and said, “Then please send it directly to this address.”
“Okay, we’ll deliver it as soon as possible.”
When she went back that night, Qiao Weiyang had just changed her shoes when Xiao Bao ran out and said, “Mommy, we have a new piano!”
“It’s from a friend,” Qiao Weiyang said softly. “Let’s go take a look.”
The piano had already been sent upstairs and placed in Qiao Weiyang’s study.
The piano was colorful and had a faint glow, but it was not completely new.
Qiao Weiyang walked over and flipped open the piano cover to take a look. She realized that this was the piano that the piano master, Ke Nitt, had used back then. It was called Lamboni. It had accompanied the master for his entire life. He had composed all kinds of world-famous songs with it.
This piano was a collector’s item. It was a sacred item in the hearts of many people who loved the piano. She did not expect Lu Ke to get someone to send this piano over.
Some parts had been renovated and repaired. This repair was done on the original foundation as much as possible. It did not destroy the Lamboni’s temperament and color, so it was still integrated and looked dazzling.
Qiao Weiyang touched the piano and knew that this gift was much too expensive.
Jingyun said softly, “Can I try playing it?”
“Jingyun has wanted to play for a long time. He’s been waiting for you to come back and play with him,” Xiao Bao added. “But without your permission, he could only wait.”
Qiao Weiyang reached out and pulled Jingyun to sit down. She smiled and said, “Okay, let’s play it together.”
Jingyun’s eyes lit up. He immediately nodded and sat down with Qiao Weiyang. His fingers landed on the black and white piano keys.
In the music academy.
Qiao Weiyang sat in Lin Shuhui’s room and tasted the Pu’er tea she had just brewed.
“It smells so good, Aunt Lin.” Qiao Weiyang took a sip. “It tastes really good.”
“It goes with this.” Lin Shuhui pushed the dessert over and placed it in front of Qiao Weiyang.
Qiao Weiyang picked up a piece of mung bean cake and took a small bite as she said, “Aunt Lin, Lu Ke gave me a piano.”
“That’s a good gift. You can use it. It’s not something ordinary. He probably gave it to you because you know how to play the piano too.”
“He sent Lamboni,” Qiao Weiyang said slowly after taking a sip of tea..
