7. Bosom friends

While Qiao'er was busy packing up their luggage in the new dormitory they shared, Gao Ran wandered around the academy alone and casually. I'm going to get acquainted with the new environment first.

But I didn't think about it, and as I walked, I was suddenly attracted by a sound that I could hear that the piano skills were very skillful, but the artistic conception was still shallow......

Walking in the direction where the sound of the piano came from, I unconsciously walked into the depths of a bamboo forest.

When he finally came to the edge of a small clearing, but at a glance he knew that it was obviously artificially reclaimed, Gao Ran's vision suddenly widened a lot.

She saw a small bamboo hut with a rough structure built in the middle of the clearing.

It feels like it should only be used as a place for temporary residence......

"The sound of the piano is wafting out of the house!" Thinking so, Gao Ran walked towards the bamboo house.

Who would have thought, she hadn't taken a few steps before the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

Then I heard someone in the room ask, "Who?"

"It's a boy's voice!" Gao Ran heard the owner of the voice, and estimated that he should be in his teens - anyway, it should be the voice of a boy who is in the midst of a voice change.

"Uh......" Gao Ran thought about it and decided to answer his question politely first-although he hadn't seen his true face yet.

"Sorry to interrupt! I'm a new student today. Studying medicine. My name is Gao Ran. That one...... I heard the sound of the piano and came here. Not intentionally intrusive. I beg your forgiveness if it bothers you. That one...... I wonder if you will be able to come out and see it?! I have some thoughts about the piece I just heard...... I wonder if your Excellency is interested in listening to me?"

Although he felt a little cheeky, when he thought of the piano sound he heard just now, Gao Ran relented, and felt that since he had come, he had to see what the person who played the piano looked like, right?!

For some reason, Gao Ran was inexplicably curious about the boy in the room - of course, a large part of the reason was because of the piano he had just played.

There was no response from the house. However, after a while, someone opened the door and walked out of the bamboo hut with the qin in his arms, and carefully placed the qin on a low table in the open space.

Then, he walked up to Gao Ran and bowed his hand politely to her, "Hello Miss Gao, in Xia Dong Tianyi, she is a student of Leke and a disciple of the master......

"Dong Tianyi?!"

Gao Ran immediately realized that the young man in front of him, who should be "175" tall, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and estimated to be fourteen or fifteen years old, was the young master of the Dong family, one of the four great families!

"It seems that this guy is not simple......" Gao Ran muttered secretly in his heart.

Then, she immediately put on a harmless "warm" smile, and said to Dong Tianyi with a smile, "Oh...... It turned out to be Senior Brother Dong...... I'm Gao Ran, who just enrolled today. Although he is still just an ordinary medical student...... However, I promise that in three days, I will also become a 'disciple in the room' like you! Hehe, so it is not an exaggeration for me to call you 'Senior Brother Dong' in advance. โ€

Gao Ran's words reveal her self-confidence.

When Dong Tian heard this, he looked at Gao Ran with some surprise, but found that she didn't look like she was lying......

"Really?!, this 'medical saint' has never confiscated a disciple who has entered the house! I thought he would never accept an apprentice in his life...... I didn't expect to meet me today! Besides, it's a little girl......

When he thought like this, Dong Tianyi didn't realize it at all, he had already unconsciously believed what Gao Ran said - she would become the first disciple of the "Medical Saint" Zhao Yi in three days, as she said.

"Then congratulations to Senior Sister Gao first!"

"Hehe, thank you! However, can you not call me 'junior sister'?! Just call me 'Gao Ran'! I'm still more used to people calling me by my name directly......

"Hmm...... Hmm!" Dong Tian thought about it and felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong, so he nodded and responded.

Seeing that Dong Tian responded, Gao Ran immediately asked inch by inch, "That's ...... Can I just call you by your name?!I'll just call you 'Dong Tianyi' in the future?! I'm always called 'senior brother' and 'senior brother', as if I'm afraid that others won't know that we are senior brothers and sisters...... It's boring!"

Saying this, Gao Ran pursed his lips unconsciously.

Seeing Gao Ran's appearance as a "little adult", Dong Tianyi couldn't help but feel a little funny, thinking, "This little person is quite interesting!"

Perhaps because he had a good impression in his heart, Dong Tianyi cooperated with Gao Ran's request, but she was only allowed to call him that way in private. On weekdays, in order to avoid unnecessary gossip, she still has to abide by the most basic politeness and call him "senior brother".

"Okay......" Knowing that Dong Tianyi had already made a concession, Gao Ran had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

"Hehe, Gao Ran, you just said that you have some thoughts to tell me about the piano I played before?" After a simple acquaintance, Dong Tianyi no longer spoke politely to Gao Ran, and directly asked what he really wanted to know......

"Oh, you said that sound...... Hehe......" Gao Ran smiled meaningfully, "That...... Can I tell the truth?!"

"Of course!" Dong Tianyi's eyes instantly became serious.

"You can tell that you are very skillful when you play the piano just now. However, there is no depth...... In other words, your mind is still relatively immature and has no connotation, so you can only hear the sound of the piano you play, but you can't hear your soul...... I put it this way...... Do you understand?"

"You ......"

Dong Tianyi felt very incredible! Because, he had just heard his master say something like that not long ago......

I remember that at that time, Yu Chuan said to him, "Your skills are basically perfect! But your attainments are still very immature! You need to go out and take a look, so that your heart is like 'old tea', and it will be well precipitated for a few years, and then it will be 'brewed'...... In this way, the taste of 'tea' will be more mellow and more intriguing......"

Remembering what the master had said, look at the little girl in front of me who is less than half her height......

"You ......" Dong Tianyi didn't know what to say for a while......

"What are you?!"

Gao Ran didn't bother to pay attention to Dong Tianyi, who was half a beat slow to react, and went directly around him and walked straight to the zither that he had placed on the low table before.

Before reaching the low table, Gao Ran stroked the strings, and then plucked a few more notes......

Knock -

"The sound is very accurate, and besides, listening to this sound quality, ......" Thinking of this, Gao Ran couldn't help but sigh, "Good piano!"

Gao Ran glanced up at Dong Tianyi, and saw that he was just standing there looking at her fixedly, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't show any displeasure on his face, so he knew that he had acquiesced to her touching his piano.

So, she didn't intend to ask him if he would lend her the piano to play, so she sat down cross-legged on the straw mat that lay flat on the ground next to the low table.

Then, after adjusting his posture slightly, he took advantage of his sudden piano nature and played it freely.

She played the main theme of Fei'er Orchestra's "Crescent Bay".

Gao Ran remembered that when she first listened to this song, she felt that the melody of this song was really suitable for the flute and sound.

For some reason, when she saw Dong Tianyi for the first time, looking at his eyes, she inexplicably remembered this song, and then burst into the idea of trying to play its main theme with the guzheng.

As soon as she thought about it, she couldn't wait to put it into practice.

Fortunately, he has a deep foundation in playing the guzheng and piano for more than 20 years in his previous life, so even if it is a whim, he can still play the melody of the whole song smoothly in one go without any flaws.

If there is anything imperfect about Gao Ran's playing this time, it is that although her piano skills are not bad, they are definitely not as good as Dong Tianyi. After all, people practice every day! Look at his age...... It must have been more than ten years of training - and such a gifted genius!

As for using words like "genius" to evaluate him, Gao Ran could only say that it was just an intuition on her part.

When she saw Dong Tianyi for the first time, she had already intuitively decided that the young man in front of her must be a genius!

Looking back at herself, although she did play intermittently for more than 20 years in her previous life, she only spent one or two hours a day practicing the piano at most. And when I practiced, I was just a pastime! I didn't really think about any skills at all...... What's more, at that time, she learned more than just guzheng and piano!

With such a half-hearted she, even if she has more than 20 years of piano experience, she still can't compare to the genius boy in front of her who has been practicing guzheng for more than ten years!

However, even so, Dong Tianyi, who had no idea, still showed an extremely surprised expression after listening to Gao Ran's playing-just because he had never heard this melody before!

"This ...... This song was made by you?!This style of music is very novel! It sounds very exotic!" With this admiration, Dong Tianyi's eyes when he looked at Gao Ran at this moment did not brighten up a lot. His excitement at this time was all unabashedly expressed in front of Gao Ran!

"Hehe, I didn't make this song! I just heard it by chance when I was out on an outing. But I don't know who did it. I just liked it at the time, so I wrote it down...... Now that I see you, I suddenly remembered this song, and I wanted to play it for you. A good song should be shared with someone who understands it, shouldn't it?!"

"A good song should be shared with someone who understands it...... Dong Tianyi muttered to himself and chewed on the last sentence Gao Ran said, and then suddenly became enlightened, "Yes! You are right! The so-called 'good song for bosom friends', now that Ran'er has given me this song, that is to regard me as a 'bosom friend'! I can't believe that you are only five years old now, and you already have such piano skills...... If you are willing to practice diligently, I believe that when you grow to the age of me, you will definitely be a storage far greater than me!"

Speaking of this, Dong Tianyi's eyes when he looked at Gao Ran were full of inexplicable emotion and pride! As if Gao Ran's glory was his own glory -- although this so-called "glory" was actually nothing more than Dong Tianyi's own wishful thinking!

"Huh?!"

Dong Tianyi's reaction was really unexpected by Gao Ran.

She hurriedly explained, "No, no, don't get me wrong! I'm not as complicated as you think...... I just want to share music with you! I can't talk about any 'bosom friend' or 'bosom friend'! Also, I'm here to study medicine! Playing the piano is just a pastime for me on weekdays! I don't plan to continue my in-depth study. I'm not interested in joining you in this fun!"

When she said this, Gao Ran had already automatically ignored Dong Tianyi's call to call her "Ran'er" just now - although she didn't mean it, there was no guarantee that it might be her subconscious intention......

For the opposite sex who is not very familiar - even if the other party is still a teenager, it is also the opposite sex - calls herself so affectionately, Gao Ran has always chosen to deal with it, which is to instinctively and automatically ignore the other party's affectionate address to her, and directly ignore a certain meaning or some hint that may be hidden behind this title......

And Dong Tianyi naturally didn't know these thoughts in Gao Ran's heart, he just didn't know how to react for a while when he was unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water in front of her like this...... All of a sudden, I felt ...... The atmosphere seems to have become a little awkward...... It became so good that he didn't know what to do......

"Uh...... Well, in fact, this song has lyrics! I'll sing it to you!"

In order to alleviate the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere at the moment, Gao Ran hurriedly changed the topic and tried to divert everyone's attention.

Dong Tianyi didn't reply, just nodded reluctantly.

Gao Ran couldn't help it, so he had to force himself to relax and start stroking the piano again, and sang leisurely with the accompaniment of the piano sound......

"The grains of sand in the sky of Dunhuang

With our memories

I looked back halfway through

This Qin Pass is long and meandering

The dream traveled through the Western Regions

How much Zen is included

Love is like a travelogue

I'll look for its secret words

Look, the tears under the crescent bay

Forgotten on the Silk Road

Whose heart is it?

Left alone

Is he okay

I want to love him so much

The eternal tears

Freeze that sentence

Maybe it could evaporate

Whose love is it?

Stronger than tears

Call softly

Just let me melt

Every drop of rain

Evolved into my wings

To the people I love

Chase it......"

The immature children's voice sings the perception and interpretation of Gao Ran's twenty-nine-year-old soul on this song.

And the effect of the combination of the two is ......

Dong Tianyi couldn't help but exclaim, "Ran'er, I think you are the 'elf' in the legendary fairyland! Yes! You are the elf! When you sang this song just now, I listened to it, and I felt that you were like a fairy fairy who accidentally fell into the world and did not eat the fireworks of the world, singing a love and grievance that belongs to the world with your dusty voice......

Although there are some places in the lyrics of this song that Dong Tianyi did not understand -- such as "Dunhuang" and "Western Regions", what are they? Is it a place name?

But these did not prevent him from fully realizing that Gao Ran expressed in her singing voice an emotion that was obviously far beyond her current age......

"Good! good!"

Suddenly, a discordant round of applause came from the bamboo forest.

Gao Ran and Dong Tianyi immediately looked in the direction where the applause came from at the same timeโ€”a young man who looked about ten years old was slowly walking out of the bamboo forest......
