122. A poem to Alice
In the piano room, the cabbage dances quickly on the black and white keys, and a famous song by Liszt - "Bell" flows in the room.
This is a recognized difficult piece, and if you have to talk about ranking, it is probably the ninth most difficult piano piece to practice.
A more intuitive way of saying this is that in less than five minutes, the keys are pressed nearly 3,000 times.
Even staring at two keys is not an easy job.
Huang Zeli stood behind her with half-closed eyes, listening carefully.
Long-term training is actually a very boring thing, no matter what hobby it is, there will always be a period of ups and downs in enthusiasm.
When enthusiasm reaches a low ebb, persistence is the best partner of cabbage.
On the sheet in front of her was a pink sticky note with two words written in a black pen, "Never Stop."
It is actually a very subjective thing to evaluate whether a piece is good or not, but Huang Zeli herself has been a judge in many competitions, and her opinions are quite pertinent.
After the cabbage was played, Huang Zeli opened her eyes after a long time: "The light tone is not in place, the accent is too much, and the last paragraph... The speed is still a lot worse. β
She sighed slightly in her heart, the talent of cabbage has only reached a very good level, but it is not enough to be called "top".
Although Cabbage has been trying to persevere, this can make her a "famous" pianist at most.
Is it worth nearly 20 years of hard work in exchange for this?
This answer is known only to the cabbage itself.
Huang Zeli no longer puts too much pressure on her now, although she is a strict teacher, she is the elder of the cabbage, and now she is more concerned about the future life of the cabbage.
"Compared to you, Chen An is really idle..."Huang Zeli thought that Chen An had asked cabbage out to eat every day recently, "I'm about to feed you fat..."
Cabbage gently shook her aching right hand and shook her head, and her beautiful black hair swayed with it: "No, he's busier than me." β
"Huh?"
Cabbage told Chen An about opening the company.
Chen An has been learning the stack of A4 paper for almost the past two days, but he also finds time to eat with cabbage.
"Then he's too good to you..."
Huang Zeli smiled kindly, "Very happy, right?"
Most of her understanding of Chen An comes from the dictation of cabbage and many chance encounters in the piano room.
"Hmm..."
The cabbage smiled lightly, revealing two cute little pear vortexes: "I don't even want to play the piano anymore, I want to help him." β
"Really?" said Huang Zeli in surprise.
Cabbage thought about it, and her white and tender little hands supported her soft face, and gave the most truthful answer: "I don't know either." β
After learning that Chen An had moved seriously, the cabbage actually thought a lot.
He is just an ordinary piano student, his family has a little money, and most of the people he knows are teachers or something, so there is no way to provide Chen An with any help.
Even herself, when she wanted to "support" Chen An, she could only say that she would help him play the piano as a condition.
It was also at that time that she realized that there was an invisible but extremely important bond between herself and Chen An - the campus.
Huang Zeli pondered: "How can you say that you are also a scholarly family, don't think so much nonsense." β
She thought that the cabbage was worried about the right problem.
Although the feudal system is not flourishing now, these four words have never been far away.
"What's the matter..."
Cabbage smiled and shook his head: "But it's sad to think that I can't help him, but he can help me..."
Chen An offered to repair the piano room for him, and the cabbage's emotions were very complicated - moved, panicked, excited...
Eventually, these emotions slowly turned into sadness.
She was reluctant to go to work to help Chen An buy things, not because she was tired, but because she felt that this way... One time is enough, and more is just to move yourself.
Chen An can help her do a lot of things and help her fulfill her dreams, but what can he do for Chen An?
Cooking, washing clothes, or playing the piano? Does Chen An need these?
"Wouldn't it be good if you loved him? little girl, don't think about it..."
Huang Zeli interrupted casually, she knew that there was an extremely special stubbornness and tenacity in Cabbage's heart.
Cabbage pursed her lips and smiled: "You are thinking too much." β
She's just a little distressed.
If someone says to her, letting go is a love...
Cabbage may feel very moved when she sees it in the TV series, but she feels that she definitely can't do it.
The strong possessiveness will only become more fanatical under Chen An's increasingly strong love.
Chen An's recent psychological state, as his closest person, Cabbage is also very aware - it is a state that is sometimes restless and sometimes calm.
"I'm not a person with great love... I just want to have you all the time, but I'll do everything I can to help you..."
The cabbage gently stroked the keys in front of her, turned on the recording function of the mobile phone, and played a song to Alice very seriously.
Light and soothing music can make people relax, which is one of the ways that cabbage expresses love.
There was light in the piano room, and the dust could be seen dancing in mid-air.
Huang Zeli listened for a while, then walked out with a smile.
She felt in her heart that this kind of love would probably only appear in two people who didn't pay attention to material comforts at all.
Cabbage is a person who is very happy to accompany Chen An, and she will be very happy when Chen An feeds her expensive bird's nest abalone or coarse tea and light rice.
...
Library, in a flash, Chen An found that two hours had passed.
Then he saw an audio message from the cabbage on his phone.
Chen An put on the headphones and listened to it again, and then smiled.
"Sounds good. β
Listening to a piano piece after reading a book for a long time is indeed very relaxing, not to mention that this piece is still played by my girlfriend.
"It's a pity it's not a video. β
Chen An thought about the concentration and agility of the cabbage when he played the piano, which was completely different from the coquettishness in ordinary days.
Listening to the music, Chen An suddenly received a phone call, who claimed to be the department manager of ByteDance.
"ByteDance?
Chen An thought for a moment, making sure that he had never heard of this strangely named company before.
What are they looking for themselves?
He walked out of the library quickly, thinking that if the other party knew his number, there must be something serious about itβor the kind about money.
