Lu Yi: …
He felt that he played the piano bad enough, and he also played a few wrong notes. Why was he still at the level of being a teacher?
Seeing Teacher Rong suddenly changing his face, he chose to be honest: “I have studied piano, but I haven’t got a certificate. I want to come here to study mainly for the certificate. I like to leave it to professionals to do related work.”
When he was in university, Lu Yi also took a number of certificates. He had always spared money and all the certificates were handled by the relevant education and training institutions.
During the time he had to run errands, he could earn several times or even dozens of times the cost.
He said this very sincerely and did not adulterate at all, but only concealed part of the facts.
When he was speaking, his eyes looked at Rong Huan without blinking, and his eyes seemed to keep saying: What I said is true, not deceiving.
The young man’s eyes were clear and pure, obviously not a particularly square face, but he exuded an awe-inspiring righteousness, his eyes were so hot that Rong Huan could hardly avoid it.
After a brief look at each other, Rong Huan was still defeated first.
He believed that the person in front of him was sincere, but the other person’s real purpose was definitely not just that simple.
He then asked Lu Yi a few more questions, and made sure that the other party was not here to smash the scene, then he finally relaxed: “You can take the certificate exam at this level, but you need to take the sound base certificate before that.”
Candidates under the age of seven and over forty do not need this certificate, but the age of the person in front of him didn´t seem to be in this range.
“Okay.” Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Rong Huan added: “This information can be found on the website. People at your age don’t need me to teach you how to go online.”
“I’ll check the information.” Although Rong Huan was relieved, Lu Yi was still sensitive to the fact that the other party’s first impression of him was not very good.
It was not easy to reverse the first impression, but if the negative impact continues, it might run counter to his purpose of coming here.
“I haven’t touched the piano for a long time, and the relevant knowledge points may not be very clear. For the sake of me also a student of the piano industry, if I encounter something I don’t understand, can I ask Teacher Rong for your guidance?”
Rong Huan smelled something unusual, and most of the people of the same kind would have special feelings. The first time he saw Lu Yi, he knew that the other party should also like men.
Lu Yi was not the only one coming here form him and expressing their likes, but the young man in front of him had a clear-eyed look, and he did not make any over-distance movements from beginning to end, nor did he say anything to express his affection.
Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he was imagining things?
And although the situation that the other party said sounded absurd, it was not impossible. He struggled for a while and agreed: “Yes, you can leave your contact information.”
“No problem.” The unfolding of the matter was a bit more difficult than he thought, but today he finally made some progress. He exchanged contact information with Rong Huan and then left the classroom of the advanced piano class without any nostalgia.
After Lu Yi left, Rong Huan asked the front desk again: “Let me see the information of the students who signed up for this period.”
The thick information was handed to Rong Huan, and he turned to Lu Yi within a few pages.
The appearance of the one-inch photo provided by the other party was not much different from that of the person himself, but there were many differences in temperament and eyesight.
The age was twenty years old, and he was still a college student.
A photocopy of his identity was attached to the information. He checked his age and it was true.
And this university looked a bit familiar. He had a nephew who also studied at this university.
Was it really a misunderstanding? Rong Huan felt a little embarrassed, but because of this he paid more attention to this man named Lu Yi.
He usually ignored the people who add him. After getting off work, he frequently looked at his mobile phone and waited for news from the person who said would write him to ask him questions.
But what was embarrassing was that there was no news at all, no phone messages, other communication tools, like online chats, were also gray.
Sure enough, he was thinking too much. He looked at myself in the rearview mirror, and Rong Huan felt a little red on his cheeks, ashamed of being so emotional.
With a long sigh of relief, he left behind what happened that day,
After leaving the piano shop, Lu Yi went back to the school dormitory and began to check the information.
The dormitory was the kind with a bed on top and a table underneath. A standard room for four people. Lu Yi was below when he checked the information. Wang Wang glanced at it when he poured water over, didn’t care much and asked casually: “Do you want to buy a piano?”
Lu Yi did not intend to conceal it. After all, they live in the same dormitory and were in the same class. Sooner or later, they would know what he was doing: “I plan to take the piano exam.”
Wang Wang said: “Yes, when did you secretly learn the piano without us knowing?”
Nowadays, there were more and more people learning musical instruments, such as piano and the guzheng1, but mainly people would learn the guitar, it was easy to start, and it was good to sing.
The piano was different. You could take the guitar with you to play and sing. You could just move one to the girl you like and confess.
Lu Yi smiled, and didn´t say much: “I signed up for a class before, and now I have to go to the sound base certificate to be qualified for the piano test.”
“Oh, it’s like this.” Lu Yi didn’t say anything specifically. They thought that the other party should be a beginner, and many college students learn music. After all, people who teach music and dance make money.
Zhang Zhihong, who was sitting on the bed and playing games, divided up a snack: “What were you talking about just now, piano?”
“It was Xiao Lu who said he was going to learn piano.”
Zhang Zhihong looked at Lu Yi: “Don’t, Lu Yi, it won´t be because of that Li Tang, right.”
Wang Wang glared at him: “What nonsense, Lu Yi already said it. Li Tang and him are done, right?”
Zhang Zhihong made an aggrieved expression, and then said: “Because Li Tang said that he likes people who can play the piano very much, and he feels that it is very temperamental.”
Wang Wang exploded at once and asked Lu Yi, “No, brother, you haven’t given up on it? The shit pit in which you fell once cannot be fallen in again twice, if you fall again, then I won´t talk to you anymore.”
“It has nothing to do with him, I have always liked the piano.”
Lu Yi was telling the truth. He learned the piano when he was very young, and his teacher praised him for his talent. When he was young, he still pestered his teacher saying hie was going to be a musician, but then he was reprimanded by his father. Later, he started to get involved in finance, and his piano certificates were all in cover in ashes, and he soon forgot the days of playing piano all day.
When he said this, he naturally showed a look of nostalgia. Wang Wang glanced at it and felt that there was a story. Anyway, it wasn’t because of Li Tang, so he didn’t say anything.
After all, it was Lu Yi’s own life, how to live it, it was Lu Yi’s own choice.
Although most things in this world were the same as his own world, there were still many details that were different.
Lu Yi spent more than half a month to understand and study, and finally got all these things clear.
When focusing on one thing, he basically wouldn´t use tools to connect with anything.
After he had absorbed the relevant knowledge, he remembered that there was still Li Tang’s white moonlight to contact.
He went to Feixun, an online communication tool commonly used by young people in the world, and then tapped Rong Huan: Teacher Rong, I have been reading the information these days and I can basically understand it, but there are still a few things I don’t understand. can ask you?
Then he uploaded an offline file and waited more than ten minutes without response. When his roommate called him out to eat, he turned off the computer and went out.
When Rong Huan got off work, he read the message. When he saw it, he felt that the profile picture of the contact was a bit familiar. He clicked it and looked carefully. He remembered that it was the young college student from before.
He received the document and opened it while drinking water. It was a few small documents and pictures 1, 2, 3, and 4.
When he clicked on it, he almost sprayed water on the computer.
It was not that the other party did a bad job, but that the other party did a great job. The other party has done all the puzzles and details of forms, words, ppts, and the key points were marked in red, which was quite shocking.
Everything could actually be done in this way.
No wonder when he observed the other party that day, he always felt that the other party had a maturity and stability that did not seem his age.
Rong Huan took a long sigh of relief, and then applied each other’s template and listed them one by one.
Students were doing it so seriously. If he as teacher, was still perfunctory, it would seem too incompetent.
Lu Yi wanted to sign up, and then take the piano test for a few months. Within a few months, the two of them rarely talked face-to-face, and they usually communicated like this.
At the beginning, it was purely talking about piano and music. After talking for a long time, the topic became crooked.
On this day, while chatting, the two people discussed the major events in life.
Lu Yi looked at the computer page.
The other party sent a message like this: My mom wants me to go on a blind date again, and I just collapsed.
Lu Yi returned: Didn’t you say before that you like men? it’s not a good thing to cheat on marriage.
Rong Huan: Who lied to marry? I came out in high school, and they almost broke my leg back then. You still don’t understand anything. My mother is looking for a man, but I don’t want to go.
Lu Yi’s hands on the keyboard paused: Singles are better for singles, and couples are better for couples. It’s always good to try more. Why don´t you think about it and find a boyfriend?
