Chapter 143: Envy

On the way back to the apartment in Lu Yichen's car, Vivian kept looking out the window, as if she had been thinking about something.

"What's wrong? What do you think, so engrossed? Am I so handsome? Lu Yichen just stopped at an intersection waiting for a red light, turned his head to look at Vivian, and cared about his girlfriend's mood at the moment.

His inquiry brought Vivian's thoughts back to reality, Lu Yichen's informality made her feel very cute, after all, the performance of these ice players on the court today is really not related to "handsome", and can only be described as embarrassed. Because they had to be careful not to hurt the adorable dogs, they dodgeballed the hockey alive.

"I was thinking, your sister is really good." Vivian's tone was sincere, full of envy. "I went to look for her when you were gone. At the time, I just thought she was as good-looking as you, no wonder she studied acting. But when we had dinner that day, I found that her beauty had surpassed ordinary people, how to say, probably a special aura. Vivian tilted her head, trying to put her feelings into words.

"But I can't tell where that aura came from, and it wasn't until I watched her performance today that I understood why she was so dazzling." Although Vivian's tone was envious, but more convincing, she was really completely moved by Fei'er's beauty today, this beauty is no longer the beauty of appearance when they first met, but the beauty that really touches people's hearts because of their talent.

"Thank you, I think she'll be glad to hear it." Lu Yichen accepted this praise for Fei'er, to be honest, Lu Yichen has heard such praise as a younger brother, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is accustomed to it.

“…… I'm quite envious, for you brothers and sisters. Vivian seemed to struggle in her head, but she was honest enough to say what was deep in her heart.

"Envy us?" Lu Yichen felt that Fei'er's performance today must have conquered everyone present, but he didn't know the embarrassment of their ice players on the court, and if he really thought he was handsome, it would definitely not be today.

"Well, I'm envious of the opportunity for you to learn this from a young age." What Vivian is talking about is not Lu Yichen's performance today, but that the Lu family siblings and other players who are here today can have the opportunity to find their own interests and have the conditions to learn from a young age.

Ice sports are very luxurious, although the price of the entry stage is quite friendly, but it is also beyond Vivian's family conditions in childhood, let alone training in the professional direction in the later stage, which Vivian could not have imagined.

Only then did Lu Yichen understand what she meant. Born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he never seemed to think about this before, but he felt as if he had started his hockey career at a very young age, and he really didn't care about how much it cost to join the club, and how much his equipment and equipment cost respectively.

What is the price of Fei'er's figure skating Lu Yichen didn't care, she only knew that she trained with a personal trainer at a very young age, and after taking the professional route in the later stage, her mother asked the former world champion to guide Fei'er, and even the choreographers and Costens who participated in the competition were carefully created by special people. If Vivian hadn't mentioned it, Lu Yichen really hadn't thought about it, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid he really spent a lot of money. And that's not even counting the cost of tuition fees and other extracurricular activities at their private schools.

Comparing Vivian's situation, thinking of the choice she was forced to make before, Lu Yichen understood her difficulties better at the moment. To this day, she has given too much and lost too much.

Vivian stretched out her slender fingers bitterly and sighed helplessly: "Actually, my elementary school music teacher said that my hands were born to play the piano. She didn't say any more, but how could Lu Yichen not understand.

The red light turned green, Lu Yichen drove to the fork in the road in front, and suddenly turned around and drove in the opposite direction home.

"Where are you going?" Vivian was surprised.

"Go buy a piano." Lu Yichen was not joking, he knew that there was a Yamaha piano shop about ten minutes away, and since Vivian likes to play the piano, why not start now?

Then, despite Vivian's objections, he actually ordered a Yamaha U1 on the spot, which was shipped to the apartment that night.

———— dividing line of knowledge————

Yamaha now has two series (U-Series and B-Series).

The U series are all imported from Japan. The difference between U1, U3 and U5 of the U series is that the height and size of the piano are different, starting from U1, they are 1.1 meter, 1.3 meters to 1.5 meters. These are the sizes of Upright pianos. The Grand Piano also comes in a few feet in size, which refers to the length. The smallest baby grand is under five feet, let's say more than three feet. A beginner's U1 for general beginners is sufficient.

In addition to the U series, the B series is often found in the U.S., and is produced by one of their manufacturers in Indonesia.

Let's put it this way, when buying a piano, remember one thing – always buy one from the country of origin.

The official guide price of the new U1 is $11,399, however, keep in mind that the Yamaha brand of pianos is very heavily discounted, and you can't buy a Yamaha at the original price, and the pianos in Japan are all heavily discounted (including kawai). In terms of value for money, Japanese pianos are perfect for beginners.

The piano with the least discount – Steinway.

In addition, I will give you a popular science of the world's three famous pianos:

Steinway

Origin: Steinway is a very famous piano brand, the brand originated in Germany, and was later acquired by the United States, and has been recognized as the leader of the piano league.

Quality: 90% of the grand pianos used in concerts are made by Steinway. Steinway's pursuit of piano timbre can be said to be almost perverted, and each Steinway must undergo rigorous inspections before entering the field to ensure that each Steinway piano has a unique sound.

Bosendorfer

Origin: International brand, Bösendorf comes from another musical homeland – Austria.

Timbre: Bösendorf uses a different standard than Steinway, so the timbre emphasis is different. Bösendorf's voice is subtle, but substantial. It is clear that it is the voice of the German-Austrian family. The most distinctive feature of Bösendorf is in the bass zone, where the timbre is clear and rounded, and it is not only full-bodied. As a result, Bösendorf can create a peculiar tonal atmosphere.

Fazioli

Origin: Fagioli is a new star in the piano world in the last 20 years, produced in Italy,

Temperament: Born with a Mediterranean romantic temperament. And the upward momentum was extremely fast, and soon ousted Yamaha, one of the original piano triumvirate, from the throne. Fagioli has been highly recommended by many piano masters and is known as "the best instrument for digital recording".

Until the piano was carried into the apartment to unpack and audition, Vivian was still dreaming. She was really just attracted by Fei'er's excellence, and at the same time felt that she had never had the opportunity to experience those beauty, nothing more.

She never expected that Lu Yichen would move a piano back without saying a word, and this heart was so heavy that Vivian felt that she couldn't breathe.

"You...... Why is it so expensive? Vivian really felt that the reproach at the moment was very unconscionable, after all, this was a gift from Lu Yichen to herself. She was just a little annoyed that she had advanced those childhood events.

"Because you like it." Lu Yichen put away the past immodeses, he hoped that Vivian would accept this gift calmly, but he knew that she would probably be very entangled.

He walked affectionately to his beloved girl, pulled her to sit on the piano bench, took her hand and opened the lid, gently touched the keys, and listened to the pleasant sound.

"Since this is a pair of hands that play the piano, then don't let it down." With that, he kissed Vivian's soft twing, as if he was holding a diluted treasure in his hand.

Vivian has long been overwhelmed by emotion, Lu Yichen's way of expressing love is always so natural and direct, and he may never be able to escape the love network he has compiled.

She touched the keys lightly, thinking of the countless times she knocked on the table in her childhood and imagined that it was an afternoon with a piano, and then gradually extinguished the heart of chasing music because of her age, but she didn't expect to be awakened by Lu Yichen again.

Her fingers stroked the keys, and a "Croatian Rhapsody" flowed from her fingertips, Lu Yichen was very embarrassed to hear it, after all, he was also forced by his family to learn the piano for a few years when he was a child, but it was not half of Vivian's skills.

At the end of the song, Vivian stuck out her tongue a little shyly: "I haven't played it for many years, and I played several wrong notes." When their eyes met, she had already decided to accept Lu Yichen's kindness, so she did not avoid his gaze, "Thank you, I like it very much." At the same time, she held Lu Yichen's handsome face and imprinted a kiss on his sexy thin lips.

"Really? It's just that it doesn't seem to be sincere enough. Lu Yichen saw that Vivian had let down his guard and accepted the gift, so he cocked the wolf's tail again.

"Lu Yichen, has anyone taught you to accept it when you see it." Vivian looked at the big-tailed wolf in front of him angrily, helpless.

"Of course no one has taught." In the next second, the wolf had already pounced, "I want you to make a promise." ”
