"Oh … But how do you know that I can play the piano?" Zhou Manchun twitched the corner of her mouth and said in a lazy tone.
"It's normal. A man will always be particularly concerned about the woman he likes," Shi Mingge said teasingly with a smirk on his handsome face.
Hearing Shi Mingge's words, Zhou Manchun's delicate face was almost distorted. The corner of her mouth twitched and she asked, "Do you like me?"
"Can't I?" Shi Mingge didn't answer but continued to ask with a smile.
Zhou Manchun frowned and said righteously, "Of course not. I'm already married!"
"Okay, okay, I know that you are Mrs. Jin now. You don't have to say it again. I was just joking." Shi Mingge said thoughtfully, making it hard to tell whether he was joking or not.
"That's more like it. Don't make this kind of joke in the future. It's not good if others hear it." Zhou Manchun muttered in a low voice.
"What?" Shi Mingge raised his eyebrows. "Are you afraid that your Jin Beisen will find out?"
Zhou Manchun was very smart. She smiled faintly and said with a sense of propriety, "Some things will not happen, and there is no need to let them happen. Even if they happen, there will be no result. So, it's best not to even joke about it."
"How do you know that there won't be a result if it hasn't happened?"
"It's because I know there won't be a result, so I don't want it to happen." Zhou Manchun said lightly and began to play word games with Shi Mingge.
Fortunately, Shi Mingge was clear-headed. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been confused by Zhou Manchun's logic. Shi Mingge knew what Zhou Manchun was thinking. He smiled without saying anything and continued to drive.
At the Xianyin Guqin Shop.
A black Land Rover steadily parked on the side of the road, and a young man and woman jumped out of the car.
Zhou Manchun walked into the piano shop. This piano shop had been open in City A for more than 30 years. She bought her first piano here. The owner of the piano shop was her teacher who had taught her how to play the piano.
After the car accident, Zhou Manchun made up her mind not to play the piano anymore, so she asked Zhou Tinghao to sell her piano. She still remembered that her first piano was worth more than 500,000 yuan. Zhou Tinghao and Zhao Lizi always gave their most precious things to Zhou Manchun.
There was a melodious sound of music coming from the piano room. A man in his early fifties was sitting in front of a white tripod piano, playing "Die Elise". He straightened his back and closed his eyes. He had already memorized the black and white keyboard. When he played the piano, he did not need to look at the keyboard to be able to skillfully play the music down one by one.
Zhou Manchun stood not far away and watched quietly. She knew Mr. Lu's rule. He didn't like to be interrupted when playing the piano. Even if there was a guest at this moment, he would still continue to play the music until the end.
When the music finished, Mr. Lu slowly opened his eyes. He just woke up from the music. He stood up like a gentleman and looked at the person who came.
"Xiao … Xiao Chun?" Mr. Lu's trembling voice was surprised and happy. He didn't expect to see his student again.
In the past 30 years, he had taught hundreds of students, and all of them had made great achievements. Zhou Manchun was one of his best students. He was Zhou Manchun's first teacher.
"Mr. Lu." Zhou Manchun smiled and walked over.
"Xiao Chun, is it really you?" Mr. Lu looked at Zhou Manchun with uncertainty. He thought he had recognized the wrong person.
"It's me."
"Come, sit down. How come you have time to come here today?" Mr. Lu warmly invited Zhou Manchun to sit down. It wasn't the weekend, so there wasn't much business in his shop during the day.
"I miss you, and I want to play the piano." Zhou Manchun smiled gently. She felt her heart soften.
"Girl, you finished your apprenticeship a long time ago. I'm afraid you've already surpassed me," Mr. Lu said with a warm smile.
"To tell you the truth, I'm here to buy a piano today."
"Sure. What brand do you like?"
"Pearl River and Yamaha are both fine."
Zhou Manchun and Mr. Lu chatted. Shi Mingge didn't stop. He walked around the piano shop and finally stopped next to a piano on a tripod.
Although Shi Mingge didn't know how to play the piano, he still pulled out the piano stool and sat down. He put his fingers on the keyboard.
His beautiful and slender fingers pressed down heavily, but it made a few noises.
Zhou Manchun heard the noise and walked over. She looked at Shi Mingge with a sneer and said, "What? Do you want to learn the piano, Mr. Shi? "
"I don't want to. I just think this piano is very beautiful. It suits you."
Zhou Manchun looked at the piano Shi Mingge was pointing at. It was a Macallan piano, a low-key and luxurious brand. It was made of top-grade wood and cost as much as 800,000 yuan.
She looked around the piano and praised it in her heart. Famous brands were indeed different. The design was unique, and the piano was of the highest quality. It was a pity that she couldn't afford it!
Zhou Manchun didn't plan to buy a good one. About 50,000 yuan would be enough. The Macallan piano had a beautiful sound, but it was too expensive.
"This piano just arrived last month. It took me a lot of effort to buy it. Wow, it's really expensive, but the sound is beautiful. Xiaochun, why don't you play it?" Teacher Lu saw Zhou Manchun staring at the piano, so he walked over and said with a smile.
Zhou Manchun sat down and put her fingers on the keys. She closed her eyes and calmed down. Immediately, the score of "Canon" appeared in her mind.
Zhou Manchun, who hadn't played the piano for a long time, played "Canon" very smoothly. The whole song was very lyrical and there was no lag at all.
"Xiaochun, how long has it been since you last played the piano?" Mr. Lu stared at Zhou Manchun in surprise and said in a daze.
"More than four years."
"It seems that you haven't forgotten anything. After you went abroad, I heard from your mother that you sold your piano."
"Yes, something happened at that time." Zhou Manchun closed the piano cover. The cover was automatic. She watched the cover slowly fall and removed her fingers.
"Xiaochun, there will be a revival competition a month before the finals of the 'Midsummer Night's Dream'. You can participate then. With your strength, you will definitely be able to enter the finals." Mr. Lu's face was full of joy.
Zhou Manchun was silent for a long time. Suddenly, she opened her clear eyes and nodded solemnly. "I think so too."
"I want this piano. Pay by card." Shi Mingge smiled and said in a low voice. She took out a bank card from her wallet.
"Wait … wait, I didn't say I wanted this piano." Zhou Manchun stopped Shi Mingge who was a little impulsive. This piano cost 800,000 yuan, which could buy half a suite in some small towns in City A.
