Volume 2 Piano Competition Chapter 79 Xu Ying
Watching the students leave the classroom one after another, Duan Zilian remembered something and looked at the class leader: "By the way, class leader, who is the candidate to cooperate with me to sing on stage?" You haven't told me yet. ”
"Well, isn't this coming?" The squad leader Nunu mouthed and signaled to Duan Zipi.
Turning his head to look, Duan Zilian saw that the people in the classroom were almost gone, but there was a beautiful girl who did not leave, and walked over, although she was wearing thick clothes, she still couldn't hide her excellence.
Duan Zilian was suddenly surprised: "Huh? Cultural Affairs Committee, are you responsible for singing on stage? ”
"Why, can't I?" The Cultural Committee showed a good-looking smile and winked playfully at Duan Zi.
"I didn't say no, just a little surprised." Duan Zilian scratched his head with a dry smile.
The Cultural Committee spread his hands and pretended to be helpless: "I can't help it, in the class, I have the best singing skills, so ah, it can only be me." ”
"Oh......" Duan Zilian nodded, and then remembered that the girl in front of her was a member of the literary and artistic committee in the class, if she didn't have any skills in literature and art, she could hold this position?
Although it was a little unexpected, Duan Zilian didn't care, the other party could be anyone, as long as he didn't make a mistake on stage, otherwise, when the time came, he would be embarrassed to play the accompaniment.
"By the way, squad leader, has the song to be played been decided?" Duan Zilian asked the squad leader.
The squad leader shook his head: "Not yet." However, about the song, I'm going to let you discuss and decide with Xu Ying. ”
Xu Ying is the name of the Cultural Affairs Committee.
"Huh? Let's decide for ourselves? Duan Zilian was immediately stunned, looked at Xu Ying on the side, and then at the squad leader, looked confused, and pointed at himself in surprise.
"Yes, you are the participants of the party, what program you want to perform, what song to sing, this is up to you to discuss and decide. Have you ever seen a singer who has fans help choose songs when they have a concert? ”
"......" Duan Zilian was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, that's it. You decide on the song you want to perform, just tell me about it, and I'll report the show. You have to decide quickly, the night after tomorrow at the latest. That's it, I'll put this electric piano here first, and I'll ask someone to move back to the music classroom in the afternoon. Okay, I'm going to eat too. ”
After speaking, the squad leader patted Duan Zilian on the shoulder, and left the classroom without giving Duan Zilian a chance to react.
It's just that Duan Zilian didn't notice that when the squad leader left, he also gestured to Xu Ying with his eyes.
"What the hell is this?" After the squad leader left, Duan Zilian couldn't help but complain when he thought that the squad leader actually threw such a difficult problem as choosing a song to himself.
Sighing slightly, Duan Zilian looked at Xu Ying on the side, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
After all, the entire classroom was empty, and there were only the two of them left, lonely men and widows, living in the same room, not to mention that the relationship with Xu Ying was not so familiar, which inevitably made Duan Zilian feel a little strange in his heart.
"That...... Cultural Affairs Committee, why don't you go to lunch first, let's find a time to discuss the song selection. ”
"It's just a song selection, I don't want to delay it for so long, it's better to solve it at noon today. Wait a minute, I'll go to the school store to buy some bread, and when I come back, I'm discussing the song selection. Xu Ying said with a smile, seemingly a little excited.
"Huh?" Duan Zi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xu Ying in surprise. "Then aren't you going back to the dorm room for a nap?"
Xu Ying smiled and shook her head: "I don't sleep at noon, it's okay, it's still important to choose songs." ”
"Oh." Duan Zi replied with pity, since Xu Ying said so, he didn't want to say anything, anyway, when he came to school, he planned not to sleep at noon today.
Seeing that Duan Zilian had no opinion, Xu Ying waved her hand: "Then I'm going to buy a few breads, do you want it too?" What to buy? I can buy it for you. ”
"No, I ate it when I came...... Buy me a bottle of water. Duan Zilian originally wanted to refuse, but felt a little thirsty, so she had to change her mind.
"Okay, then you wait a minute." After speaking, Xu Ying trotted out of the classroom.
Looking at the empty classroom except for himself, Duan Zilian yawned, then took out his mobile phone and looked at the time.
"Forget it......" shook his head gently, Duan Zilian supported his cheek with one hand, and his right hand tapped the keys of the electric piano for a while.
If nothing else, this electric piano will be used to perform at the New Year's Day party, and before that, you must be thoroughly familiar with this electric piano.
After beating lightly for a while, the joke was bored, so he played a tune casually, "Dream Wedding".
Beautiful, but with a slightly sad melody echoing in the empty classroom.
In the playing, Duan Zilian became more familiar with this electric piano, just like playing the piano, trying to do it as if he was waving his arms.
A few minutes later, when the song ended, Duan Zi shook his hand, only to find that Xu Ying had returned, standing at the door, holding two loaves of bread and two bottles of water in his hands.
"Cultural Affairs Committee, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you." Duan Zilian cast an apologetic look, he was too focused when he played just now, and he didn't even know that Xu Ying was back.
"It's okay, I just came back." Xu Ying smiled and handed a bottle of water to Duan Zilian.
"Thank you. How much, I'll transfer it to you. As he spoke, Duan Zilian was about to take out his mobile phone.
Xu Ying shook her head: "No need, it's just two yuan." According to what you say, if you pay for us in the café on Sunday, do I have to transfer the coffee money to you? ”
"Okay then." After speaking, Duan Zilian opened the cap of the bottle and took a few sips of water.
Drinking cold water on a cold day, the whole mouth was cold, and it seemed that his teeth were chattering, and Duan Zi couldn't help but shudder.
"Or?" Xu Ying handed a loaf of bread to Duan Zilian.
"No need." Duan Zilian shook his head gently.
"Oh." Xu Ying responded, since Duan Zi didn't want to be pitiful, then she would eat it herself.
Eating bread slowly, taking a sip of water from time to time, looking at Duan Zilian who was looking down at his mobile phone, Xu Ying asked: "By the way, Duan Zilian, when I just came back, what was the name of the song you played?" ”
"Dream Wedding." Duan Zilian raised her head, took her eyes off her phone, and glanced at Xu Ying.
Xu Ying showed a slightly longing expression: "A very nice name, no wonder it sounds so romantic, sometimes warm as the wind, sometimes soft as a rainbow, I feel like I have entered the palace of marriage when I hear it." There seems to be some sadness in it, though. ”
"Feel sad, that's right, because the background story of this song is that the male protagonist likes a girl, but for various reasons, that girl is with another man, and the male protagonist can only silently bless them at their wedding, and in the dream, the male protagonist dreams that the girl is wearing a wedding dress and stretches out his hand to himself. That's why this piece is called "Dream Wedding". Duan Zilian briefly introduced the background story of this song to Xu Ying.
Understanding what Duan Zilian meant, Xu Ying nodded, and then asked: "Duan Zilian, you are so good at playing the piano, you should have studied for a long time, right?" ”
"It's been more than ten years, anyway, since I was four or five years old, my mother taught me to play the piano, and I have been learning it since I was a child." Duan Zilian replied.
Xu Ying looked at Duan Zilian with some surprise: "No wonder you play the piano so well, it turns out that you have been learning since you were a child." Then you really have perseverance, I have the impression that many people who learned piano as children give up for various reasons when they grow up. So you have been studying piano for so long, do you want to go to music school? ”
"It's not. Although my mother taught me to play the piano, she didn't force me to go to music school or anything, and she didn't want me to be a pianist. ”
"Well, then your mother is so nice that she won't force you to do things you don't like. Since your mother taught you the piano, she can play the piano too? ”
"Hmm. My mom said that she used to be a well-known pianist, but because of an accidental hand injury, her flexibility and coordination were greatly reduced, and she had to quit the circle. ”
……
"Cultural Committee, do you have any good suggestions for song selection?"
chatted with Xu Ying for a while, and when Duan Zipian saw that she had finished eating the bread, he began to talk about business.
"What about you? Do you have any suggestions? Pulling a chair, Xu Ying sat next to Duan Zilian, and asked Duan Zilian in turn.
Duan Zi spread his hands: "If I have an idea, then I won't ask you, you can sing whatever you want, anyway, I'm free." ”
"Hmm...... But I don't know what to sing. Xu Ying showed a slightly distressed expression.
Duan Zilian thought for a while: "Hmm...... Then sing the song you like, and the song is still familiar to you. New Year's Day is two weeks away, so we don't have that much time to practice, and if that song is familiar to you, it will save a lot of time. ”
"I like it......" Xu Ying muttered for a while. I've been listening to "A Million Possibilities" lately, can you play this on the piano? ”
Hearing this, Duan Zilian suddenly smiled: "Coincidentally, I happen to be able to play the accompaniment of this song." ”
Xu Ying's eyes lit up: "Really? ”
"Hmm." Duan Zilian nodded. "If you don't believe me, I can play it to you right now."
"Hmm." Xu Ying looked at Duan Zilian expectantly.
Under Xu Ying's gaze, Duan Zilian first recalled the score of "One Million Possibilities" in his mind, and then put his hands on the black and white keys and began to play the accompaniment of "One Million Possibilities" with the electric piano in front of him.
Suddenly, a beautiful and exciting melody wafted through the silent classroom.
Listening to this wonderful and poetic melody, Xu Ying put her hands on her cheeks, silently looked at Duan Zilian, and smiled.
In four and a half minutes, Duan Zilian finished playing.
