After the encouraging applause, the train station returned to its original silence. It was as if everyone was listening to a concert, except for some announcements on the platform. They were all smiling and looking expectantly at the Asian girl sitting in front of the piano.
Xi Xi's outfit today was very fresh and cute. Because of the warm weather in Germany, the girl didn't need to wear thick clothes. She wore a pink sports jacket and a pair of black slim pants. She didn't even need to wear a hat. The pink headband that matched the jacket combed her long hair. From the back, she looked elegant and natural. Moreover, the girl was born beautiful. With a serious expression on her delicate little face, it was enough to make people want to cherish her!
Without further ado, Xi Xi sat in front of the piano attentively. Although she was still a little nervous, she had already mustered up her courage and began to gently press on the piano strings.
"Hey, it's' To Alice '!" Yang Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard the first few notes.
He played this song for Xi Xi before he played the song "Snail" for Xi Xi. It wasn't difficult, but it wasn't particularly easy either. After all, the original version of "To Alice" had very high requirements, but the later version was much simpler.
Yang Yi also gave Richard's version of "To Alice" to Xi Xi to practice. The girl liked this song very much. In the beginning, she played it messily, but after practicing for half a year, she could occasionally play it coherently.
However, Yang Yi didn't expect Xi Xi to play such a song. This was the girl's first time playing the piano outside. Yang Yi was worried that she didn't have the confidence, so he only asked her to play a super simple song like the birthday song.
In any case, Xi Xi's performance began. Her right foot gently stepped on the pedal, and the slender fingers of her two small hands danced on the piano keys like a butterfly.
It looked very beautiful. If there weren't a few wrong notes, it would be even more beautiful!
Xi Xi was still a little nervous. Not only did she play a few wrong notes, but she also played a little hurriedly. The melody was obviously a little fast.
However, Yang Yi did not intend to guide her for the time being. He looked at the little girl expectantly, hoping that she would be able to adjust herself.
"You can do it, Xi Xi. You are Daddy's pride!" Yang Yi thought to himself.
However, at this moment, there was a bit of commotion in the "spectator stands".
It wasn't that Xi Xi played too badly. Although the little girl played the wrong notes and played a little too fast, no one would be so picky about a seven-year-old girl.
The moving melody of "To Alice" was still very beautiful, and many knowledgeable tourists suddenly felt its extraordinariness.
"What song is this?" People curiously asked their companions, thinking that they were just ignorant. However, the commotion did not stop because everyone realized that no one knew what song it was!
It was Yang Yi's fault for being lazy and not releasing the good stuff.
However, everyone's whispers were still politely maintained at a very low decibel level. It did not affect Xi Xi, who was focused on playing the piano.
Xi Xi's playing condition was getting better and better. In the beginning, the little girl was indeed very nervous. Her fingers did not dare to press down hard, and she even played the wrong notes while trembling. If it were someone else, they might be even more nervous and even more afraid to play. However, Xi Xi felt her father's support behind her, so she persevered.
The little girl's memory was very good. She did not need to look at the score at all. In addition, she had practiced this song for half a year. Xi Xi played it very skillfully. After playing for the first time, Xi Xi became calmer and calmer. However, the serious expression on her face eased slightly, and the rhythm of the music also returned to a normal level.
All of a sudden, the gentle charm of "To Alice" was reflected!
The people in the discussion quieted down and listened with fascination. There were even some people who just wanted to watch the fun who could not help but take out their phones to record.
Yang Yi, who was standing behind Xi Xi, also revealed a gratified smile.
She was indeed Yang Yi's daughter. Her character was tough enough!
"A competition type player." Yang Yi thought of the evaluation of Xi Xi by Teacher Xia Suqing, who taught Xi Xi's dance class in Huijia Primary School. His heart was brimming with pride for Xi Xi.
Of course, it did not mean that Xi Xi played very well even if she played slowly. The little girl had only learned the piano for half a year. Many playing habits that required a lot of practice and accumulation to change still appeared in her.
For example, when Xi Xi played the piano, her eyes could not help but look at the piano keys.
Xi Xi had already worked hard to develop the habit of playing blindly under her father's request. However, she was still lacking in confidence. Her little head twisted and turned, looking left and right. She looked very serious, but this was also a sign of unprofessionalism.
Other than that, Xi Xi did not know how to grasp the emotions of this song.
It was not just "To Alice". Most piano songs had emotional expressions, such as weak, very weak, gradually weak, gradually strong, light, gentle, and so on. However, at Xi Xi's age, it was almost impossible for her to understand so many complicated emotional changes, or what kind of emotional thoughts she should put into it!
Therefore, the little girl only played according to the rhythm of her father's playing in her memory, imitating and playing mechanically.
In this way, Xi Xi still had many shortcomings, but Yang Yi was satisfied enough.
A seven-year-old girl who could play the piano bravely in public, and even play it fluently, what else could be asked of her?
…
When Xi Xi was playing the piano, Tong Tong finally could not hold back. He broke free from his mother's hand and came closer. His two little hands grabbed the edge of the piano, and he curiously watched his sister play.
It was not that he had not seen it before, but the scene today was special. Even Tong Tong felt that his sister had a special glow. This glow attracted the little guy, and he could not help but get closer to his sister.
When the passers-by saw this loving scene, they all smiled.
Of course, Xixi also finished playing very quickly. When she made a gesture to stop, the tourists next to her all laughed and applauded the little girl.
Some people even shouted "bravo" and cheered loudly!
Xi Xi had just recovered from the world of music when she felt everyone's enthusiasm. This made the little girl a little embarrassed. She was happy and hurriedly got up, rushed to her father, and buried her little head in his arms.
"You played very well. Everyone is praising you!" Yang Yi smiled and gently patted the little girl's head. He said softly, "Come on, give everyone a bow."
Xi Xi had gone to the concert with her parents before, so she knew what her father meant. The little girl raised her head a little shyly, and her father pulled her forward. They opened their hands and bowed gently to express their gratitude to the people who were smiling kindly.
Everyone laughed. Some people were worried that Xi Xi did not understand English or other foreign languages, so they directly used body language to encourage the little girl — giving her a big thumbs up.
However, at this time, the tinkling sound of the piano came from behind them, and it ruined the atmosphere.
However, when everyone looked over, they all smiled. It turned out that it was the little girl's younger brother who had curiously pressed on the piano keys. When little Momo realized that her little action had been discovered, she hurriedly retracted her little hand and hid it behind her back. It was as if she was deceiving herself.
"Do you want to play the piano, too?" Yang Yi asked him with a smile.
Tong Tong shook his little head and hid behind his sister in embarrassment. He stuck out his big eyes and looked at his father with a smile. He was smart enough to whisper, "Papa, play!"
"Papa wants to play too!" When Xi Xi heard this, she was also interested. She held her little brother's little hand and jumped up and down with a smile.
"Papa doesn't want to play." Yang Yi hurriedly waved his hand. He wanted to keep a low profile!
However, the little girl was not satisfied. She pulled her father's hand and pulled him to the piano. She called out in a light and pleasant voice, "Papa wants to play. I want to hear papa play!"
Well, Tong Tong, you bad boy, you actually learned how to divert trouble!
