Pretending to be cool is a sacred thing.

To be honest, Lu Yuan knows very few piano pieces.

There are only a few songs I learn over and over again, and I learned them when I was chasing after my goddess.

He once fantasized that one day he would become a very elegant and holy prince, charming thousands of girls, and then the goddesses would flirt with him and throw themselves into his arms.

Unfortunately, I did learn the piano music, and when I played those pieces over and over again, there was a bit of professionalism in them.

but……

The goddess left.

Lu Yuan is poor.

Lu Yuan is very honest and doesn't know how to sweet-talk. He gets nervous when talking to the goddess.

These two fatal weaknesses made Lu Yuan suffer enough indifference on his way to pursuing the goddess.

At least that was the kind of person Lu Yuan was before he traveled through time.

Therefore, after traveling through time, Lu Yuan felt that he had to transform himself and become a man who was good at sweet talk.

Transformation takes time.

Lu Yuan knew this, so he didn't force himself to instantly turn into a man shining with golden light.

However, life always needs some sense of ritual.

Or a sense of sacredness.

The same is true when I come to this world that seems familiar yet completely different.

For example, playing the piano for the first time.

The bathroom was filled with the scent of orchids. After applying some unknown hand soap and wiping the dirt off his hands very carefully, Lu Yuan walked to the stage on the first floor under Wang Jinxue's interested gaze.

"Excuse me, can I sing a song?"

The environment of the coffee shop was very beautiful. Couples, elegant people in suits who looked wealthy, looked up at Lu Yuan.

The piano music downstairs stopped abruptly.

The girl looked at Lu Yuan.

Looked very strangely.

No one ever asked her to stop in the middle of a song.

This made her very uncomfortable.

"This is a very good piano. Ordinary people cannot touch it. Sorry." The girl did not show any dissatisfaction on her face, but looked at Lu Yuan politely.

"Really? Then..." Lu Yuan was rejected.

"Let him try." Wang Jinxue also followed him downstairs and looked at the girl.

"You, you are..." The girl looked at Wang Jinxue in shock. She recognized Wang Jinxue and was very excited.

"Let him try." Wang Jinxue added.

"Okay." The girl nodded quickly and walked down the piano platform.

Lu Yuan looked at the people around him, then let out a breath.

To be honest, he was a little nervous.

This was the first time for him to play the piano in public.

However, no matter how difficult it is or how nervous you are, you have to do it.

after all……

He felt that this was the first step in his transformation.

With the first step, the rest of the road will be easier.

Lu Yuan adjusted his clothes again and looked in the mirror beside him. When he was sure everything was OK, he sat down.

He closed his eyes again.

He is looking for the feeling.

Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan's back, with a slight smile on her lips.

She felt that Lu Yuan had fallen into his own trap.

In her opinion, Lu Yuan's previous words were just empty talk.

Wang Jinxue has been a genius since she was a child.

At the same time, she has a high level of piano attainment.

The song "Girl on the River Nel" is also a rare piano piece. She visited many famous pianists to create this piano piece, changed it again and again, refined it again and again, and added new elements again and again...

Finally, this creation was successful.

This took a lot of effort on her part.

It's not easy.

So, Lu Yuan only has two choices next.

One is to play an original song that is more beautiful than "Girl on the River Neal".

One is that he is better than her in piano proficiency and can make her recognize him.

Only in this way can Lu Yuan win the victory in this battlefield that is not really a battlefield.

But it is obvious that both the former and the latter are as difficult as climbing to the sky.

A slight curve appeared at the corner of Wang Jinxue's mouth.

She was now very curious about how Lu Yuan would end up next. After all, everyone present had a certain level of appreciation for the piano.

Trying to fool people with half-hearted tactics will not work.

The hall was empty and it seemed that everyone was looking at him.

Lu Yuan knew that he had been forced into a desperate situation and he had no choice.

So, he could only play.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes and gently touched the keys and notes with his fingers.

"bite"

The sound of the piano was very beautiful. At least Lu Yuan had never played the piano so well before.

The price shouldn't be too cheap.

After Wang Jinxue watched Lu Yuan play the first button, she shook her head slightly.

It's very unprofessional and the pitch is not accurate. There are too many flaws in one movement or one detail.

It looks like Lu Yuan is going to be embarrassed.

Wang Jinxue suddenly felt a little bored.

The previous sense of teasing and freshness seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

It turns out that he is just a straw bag.

Wang Jinxue turned her head.

But……

“Ding ding ding…”

After a few seconds, things seemed to be turning around.

Lu Yuan began to play. He was a little nervous at first, afraid that he would ruin the song, but then Lu Yuan found a certain feeling for playing.

His music teacher once said that he was a gifted person.

Whether it is guitar or piano, he can easily get started.

There are two unfortunate things. The first is that my motivation for learning music is not pure. The second is that I am a bit old and destined to have no achievements.

Music is to be treated with reverence.

Lu Yuan agreed with what the teacher said.

So he is very pious.

I sincerely want to pretend to be this good.

Now Lu Yuan is very grateful to his teacher and to the goddess who left him.

Thinking of the goddess, Lu Yuan thought of his past self...

If there were no goddess, there would be no me now, if there were no me now...

All right……

There are no assumptions in this world.

The flowers were beautiful that year.

That year, the sun was shining brightly.

That year, I fell in love for the first time.

That year…

Too many memories came flooding in like water.

Lu Yuan suddenly closed his eyes again.

He was so skilled in this piano piece that he could play it entirely on the piano.

The girl who used to play the piano a few meters away suddenly froze.

She clearly saw Lu Yuan closed his eyes.

Wang Jinxue stopped and turned around.

Wang Jinxue was a little bit surprised.

She had never heard of this piano piece before, but judging from the notes, it was definitely not a piece of piano music played randomly.

Lu Yuan's back was very straight and he looked quite stubborn.

This is a stubborn young man.

At first, his playing technique was quite awkward and he even had some tremolo. But as time went on, he slowly became more proficient and finally played fluently.

The playing speed also started to increase.

The sunshine outside the window is beautiful.

The lighting in the cafe is very gentle.

Lu Yuan's smile was very bright.

Feelings are a strange thing sometimes.

When Lu Yuan delved deeper into this feeling, he found that there were really no other thoughts in his mind.

No tension, no inferiority, no sighs, no discomfort...

There is nothing but the music, the melody and a stubborn heart ready to transform.

The speed was getting faster and faster, so fast that Lu Yuan himself felt a little strange.

The discussions in the cafe stopped.

Several girls took out their cell phones and recorded Lu Yuan on the piano.

Several middle-aged men in suits looked at Lu Yuan thoughtfully, somewhat obsessed.

In the corner, an old man sometimes nodded, sometimes sighed, and sometimes closed his eyes...

Although……

Everyone's movements and behaviors were different, but everyone listened quietly.

It seems that everyone is appreciating it.

An unprecedented and never-heard melody surrounded everyone's ears.

Am I wrong?

Wang Jinxue suddenly froze slightly.

Maybe, what he said was true?

Does he really know piano?

Why can someone who can play the piano say he doesn’t understand it?

The piano music sounded in waves, from the beginning, to the middle, and then gradually to the end.

No one wanted the song to end so soon.

They still want to listen.

The same goes for Wang Jinxue.

But all good things must come to an end...

It will end eventually.

When the last note stopped abruptly, Lu Yuan stood up, opened his eyes and looked at Wang Jinxue.

He was a little tired as he hadn't played the piano for a long time. Unexpectedly, he was in unexpectedly good shape this time.

"I can play the piano." Lu Yuan said this one word.

It's very simple.

No other bells and whistles.

And it is more serious than ever before.

"What's the name of this song?" Wang Jinxue stared at Lu Yuan, more serious than ever before.

"To Alice!"

"author?"

"If you haven't heard this song, the author of this song is named Lu Yuan, Lu for land, Yuan for distance... We walk slowly towards the distance on the land under our feet..." Lu Yuan said this pretentious sentence in a deep and fluent voice that he had been holding back for a long time.

After saying this, he looked at everyone's eyes.

He looked at everyone with ripples in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something or falling into dementia.

He felt very satisfied!

He felt that he had succeeded in pretending to be cool!

Pretend to have fun!

This is very comfortable.

If you think plagiarism...

Find evidence and call the police to arrest me!

Shameless?

Can the world of intellectuals be called shameless?
