"Someone's playing the piano!" Xi Xi had been learning piano from her parents for a semester. Although she wasn't very good at it and was only at the beginner level in Yang Yi's eyes, she was very sensitive to the sound of the piano. She immediately poked her head out of her father's arms and looked around with her big bright eyes. She quickly locked onto the direction.
"Piano?" Tong Tong hadn't reacted yet. He was attracted by his sister's reaction and looked forward in confusion.
Seeing that the two little guys were so interested and that it was indeed boring to just sit there, Yang Yi let go of his arms and patted their little butts. He smiled and said, "Let's go and take a look."
When Yang Yi bought the tickets, he had asked the railway staff to arrange for the large pieces of luggage to be loaded onto the luggage car. Therefore, Yang Yi and Murphy only had to carry a carry-on luggage bag and bring the children to the sound of the piano.
It turned out that there was also a piano in the corner of the waiting hall of the train station in Leipzig.
Why was it "also"?
Because when he saw this piano, Yang Yi suddenly recalled that when his family was in America, there was also such a piano in Fort Worth's St. Lucas Square.
However, that was a vertical piano, while the one in front of him was a grand piano. It was indeed a city of music. The city government wasn't stingy with their investment in music!
Yang Yi and Murphy brought Xi Xi and Tong Tong to a nearby chair and sat down. Xi Xi might have felt that the angle of the piano was too small, so she simply stood up and pinched the hem of her shirt while focusing on the person playing the piano.
The person playing the piano was a tall Caucasian youth. He was probably also a tourist in Leipzig because he was carrying a small backpack.
Although he was only playing at an amateur level, to Yang Yi's picky ears, there were many mistakes in the sound and rhythm.
However, he was playing very seriously. His expression was focused, and he was not disturbed by the surrounding passengers. Even his eyes were focused and focused, giving people the feeling that he was not at the train station, but at the Leipzig Concert Hall!
This kind of dedication really made people feel his love for music. Naturally, although he didn't play perfectly, there were still many tourists with kind smiles on their faces. They raised their phones or cameras to take pictures or videos of him.
After the young man finished his performance, he thanked the audience amidst a round of applause and left quietly. The waiting hall of the train station returned to silence and order.
…
However, Xi Xi was still by her father's side, looking in the direction of the piano from time to time. The little girl's expression was a little hesitant.
On the other hand, Tong Tong was a little impatient. He struggled out of his father's arms and looked left and right. He was afraid that his father would scold him, so he deliberately walked to the other side. Then, he turned around and walked back to his sister.
"Hehe!" Tong Tong had just lifted his evil little paws when he realized that his sister had suddenly turned her head. He was instantly embarrassed and could only smile awkwardly at his sister. "Hehe, sister, I caught you!"
Wow, this little guy wanted to play with his sister, but he didn't say so directly. He secretly wanted to play a prank on his sister so that she would catch him!
However, Xi Xi was a little absent-minded. She reached out her hand and shushed Tong Tong. She whispered, "Don't make noise! Be quiet. "
Tong Tong shrunk his head and followed his sister's example. He beamed with joy and shushed his sister.
Yang Yi could tell that something was wrong. He stood up and gently placed his hand on the little girl's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Xi Xi, let's go and see what the piano looks like, okay?"
He did not say it directly because he knew that Xi Xi would be a little shy.
This suggestion was exactly what Xi Xi wanted. She happily lifted her little head and looked at her father. She did not say anything and just happily stuffed her little hand into her father's hand.
Yang Yi pulled Xi Xi and brought her to the piano. The little girl curiously poked her little head out to look at this piano that belonged to 'someone else'. The little girl, who had a good upbringing, was very sensible. She only dared to look but did not dare to touch it. She did not even dare to touch the piano stool.
"Do you want to try it?" Yang Yi asked Xi Xi with a smile.
"Can I play it?" The little girl looked at her father with some surprise and asked.
"Yes, it's placed here for tourists to play when they are waiting for the bus. We are tourists, so of course we can play it." Yang Yi smiled and pointed at the piano stool. He said, "Come on, sit on it and try it."
However, Xi Xi was still a little embarrassed. She giggled, hugged her father's hand, and hid behind him. She shyly said, "I don't want to!"
"What are you afraid of? You have been learning the piano for half a year. You can play a few songs. Play your favorite song and let everyone hear it! " Yang Yi said encouragingly, "Learning music, you have to be bold to show it. Only then will there be more progress in the future!"
Yang Yi also wanted to cultivate his daughter's courage. Although the little girl has participated in many stage performances, but this kind of impromptu performance in front of a group of strange tourists requires a lot of courage.
Perhaps she wanted to give it a try. Xi Xi's expression was now a little moved by her father's words. She shyly grabbed her father's finger with one hand and secretly touched the piano keys with the other. She hesitantly looked at her father and said, "But, but I still don't play very well."
"It doesn't matter. No one will laugh at you." Yang Yi smiled and said, "Moreover, look at that big brother just now. He didn't play very well. Didn't everyone like his performance? Didn't they all applaud him? "
"I applauded too." Xi Xi's eyes wandered as she whispered.
"Well, come on, give it a try. Play your favorite and most familiar song. Even the birthday song is fine!"
Under her father's encouragement, Xi Xi finally sat on the piano stool. However, she was still a little embarrassed. She placed her two small hands on the black and white piano keys and looked at her father for help.
At this time, there were already many tourists nearby who noticed this scene. Everyone saw an Asian little girl sitting on the piano stool. Moreover, her nervous appearance was a little pitiful. They spontaneously applauded for Xi Xi.
Xi Xi looked to the side in surprise. Those kind smiles made the little girl nervous for a while, and then relaxed a little.
"Look, everyone is looking forward to your performance." Yang Yi said with a smile. "Come on, Xi Xi. Dad believes in you!"
Yang Yi let go of Xi Xi's hand and gave her a last encouraging look. Then, he took a little step back to give Xi Xi an independent performance space. Then, he picked up the camera hanging around his neck and took two photos first. Then, he prepared to record Xi Xi.
