“Mei Shu, I think you should seriously consider it,” Lu Yan stared at her with a solemn expression, while Zhao Min’s eager gaze fell on her as well.
Mei Shu chuckled helplessly and shook her head. “You both say it like that, I can’t refuse anymore!”
“Arc you saying that you agree, Mei Shu?” Zhao Min quickly asked, pleasantly surprised.
Mei Shu nodded happily. “Yes, I agree. However, I’m afraid I don’t have much time to practice the piano. If there are any shortcomings, I hope the teacher can point them out in a timely manner. Since I’ve agreed to participate, I will do my best.”
“That’s great!” Zhao Min was satisfied with her attitude.
This child is talented and humble. She is indeed a good seed worth cultivating!
Unlike Mei Mu, who thinks she plays well and doesn’t even respect her own teacher. Such a student who becomes proud and complacent at the slightest achievement will inevitably suffer a great loss!
When she realizes her mistake later, it may be too late for regrets!
Lu Yan was also pleased that Mei Shu agreed.
He still remembered how Aunt Bai loved watching Mei Shu practice the piano. If she could see Mei Shu participate in a piano competition again after so many years, she would be very happy, right?
He thought this to himself but didn’t dare to say it in front of Mei Shu.
He was afraid of hurting her again.
“So it’s settled. You only need to come here to practice with me three times a week, and the duration will depend on your progress. How about we decide on a suitable piece today?” Zhao Min enthusiastically picked up the sheet music and recommended suitable pieces for the competition.
Mei Shu listened quietly and chose a piece that was both challenging and required a deep emotional investment.
Her idea was simple.
Although she was worried that participating in this competition would reduce her study time, since she had already agreed to participate, she naturally had to do her best.
Otherwise, if the competition results were not ideal, her time would have been wasted and her grades would have suffered. It would be a waste of effort.
In that case, she might as well do both well!
After all, she had the ability to memorize at a glance now. As long as she was willing to work hard, she was confident that she could handle everything.
Even though it would be very difficult.
Zhao Min didn’t expect Mei Shu to choose such a piece, but it unconsciously raised her evaluation of Mei Shu.
This child is indeed different and worthy of careful cultivation.
After deciding on the piece, Mei Shu and Lu Yan bid farewell to Zhao Min.
The two of them went to the library to review their studies. They had already delayed for so long, so they needed to speed up their progress today.
Both of them were in a hurry, so they didn’t notice the slightly trembling figure hiding around the corner of the piano room.
Mei Mu came to show off her piano skills to Zhao Min.
She wanted Zhao Min to regret the words she said about canceling her spot in the competition.
But she didn’t expect that as soon as she arrived near the piano room, she heard an elegant melody. Even she couldn’t help but stop and listen.
Just when she thought that the person playing the piano was Zhao Min, Zhao Min suddenly appeared from the other side of the corridor and stood still at the door of the piano room for a long time.
Mei Mu hesitated and didn’t dare to approach.
She was very curious about who was playing the piano inside, so she decided to eavesdrop for a while.
However, she never expected that the person with such extraordinary piano skills, even surpassing her own level, would be Mei Shu!
But hadn’t Mei Shu stopped practicing the piano for several years?
When she was learning the piano, she specifically inquired about Mei Shu’s piano skills and received answers saying that Mei Shu didn’t like practicing and was forced by Bai Ling to do it, so her piano skills were average.
Therefore, she had always believed that after so many years, Mei Shu had probably forgotten how to play.
But after eavesdropping just now, she realized that Mei Shu didn’t actually forget how to play?
She was just hiding her skills!
Mei Mu watched the two of them walk down the stairs side by side, and a trace of malice flashed in her eyes.
Without thinking, she walked into the piano room and happened to see Zhao Min lost in fascination, her gaze fixed on the piano keys.
“It’s me, Teacher.”
Zhao Min was still immersed in the previous piano sound and couldn’t extricate herself. Now, suddenly hearing someone speak, Zhao Min was startled, and her hand accidentally pressed down on the piano keys, producing a dull sound.
“Why is it you? What are you here for?”
Zhao Min saw Mei Mu and immediately remembered her perfunctory words on the phone, her face showing a touch of anger.
Mei Mu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “I told the teacher that I was sick, and it’s not a lie. It’s not entirely my fault that I haven’t continued practicing the piano during this period. The teacher had already decided to let me represent the school in the piano competition. How can you casually revoke the spot?”
Zhao Min slowly sat down in the chair and sneered, “So you came for this matter. I’m sorry, Mei Mu, the spot for this competition has already been given away. If you want to participate, you’ll have to wait for the next time.”
Mei Mu was unwilling in her heart and shouted in frustration, “Teacher, I’m at
Level Ten in piano! Only I can achieve the best result for the school!”
