The piano is by the window.
A ray of afternoon sunshine shone through the window, and the whole classroom was filled with heat.
It is summer after all.
After playing the simple song "Hello, Teacher", Teacher Xu stretched his body, and then began to seriously recall the lessons at that time, and played a song "Little Gardener"...
Teacher Xu is a bit old, and the sound she plays is not as smooth as Wang Jinxue's. The old-fashioned piano also reveals a certain amount of noise, which, along with the sound of the electric fan, creates an exceptionally weird feeling.
Lu Yuan just listened quietly with his eyes closed, recalling many things from his childhood.
Of course, these are all things that happened when this world was a child.
The timidity when I first touched the piano, the confusion and puzzlement when learning to play Doremi, and the familiar sound of the piano.
The door frame of memory was gradually opened.
He thought about a certain afternoon when he played the piano over and over again, adapting to the simple melody over and over again, fantasizing about a bright future, and was completely immersed in it. Everything felt like a new life.
He recalled the joy he felt on a certain night when he skillfully played a piece of piano music accompanied by the familiar piano sound.
He remembered the feeling of despair after he transferred to another school and looked at the piano reluctantly, but was told that it was something only rich people could play with and not for him.
Since he transferred to another school in this world, he has completely given up on piano music and even buried many beautiful memories deep in his heart.
Because he knew that this was not something he could play with. Most likely, he would go to college like everyone else, find a job, and live an ordinary life. He would never meet Wang Jinxue, or Fatty Wei, and he would never be able to call the shots in the entertainment industry...
He seemed to see a period of his life gradually dying out. Years later, he would perhaps recall this memory while lying on his deathbed, then express regret in his final moments and finally leave this world.
This is the path he can see in this world.
After the "Little Gardener" ended, Teacher Xu started playing another slightly more complicated song, called "Flowers Blooming in July"...
This is a piano piece from Britain. It has elements of children's songs in it, but of course it is more of a sublimation.
When he heard this piano piece, Lu Yuan's facial muscles twitched slightly, and then sweat flowed from his forehead.
In the empty old classroom, the sun shines on Teacher Xu's hands, and the sound of the piano gradually becomes denser...
…
"He was a very kind person. He listened very carefully in class. Of course, he loved music very much. Although he didn't seem to have any special talent at that time, he was just very keen on the piano..."
“…”
"Look here. I remember that time when he was bullied by other boys, he seemed to have cried secretly here. He cried very hard, and I was the one who comforted him here..."
“…”
"This is the playground. I don't often go to class with them. I only see them playing basketball here during the winter and summer vacations. Of course, he doesn't have much athletic talent. He basically just watches them play basketball. His body coordination is not very good either. During physical education class, he often needs a very long time to learn the gymnastics that others can learn in a short time..."
“…”
“…”
Xu Cancan began to introduce some of Lu Yuan's teenage life very seriously. While introducing, she couldn't hide the smile and reminiscence on her face, as if Lu Yuan in his teenage years had all kinds of interesting things in her mind.
Very vivid, and also looks lively.
"Cancan...If Lu Yuan was not famous, and had not appeared in the entertainment industry, but was just a chef in a small town, would you still come to find him? Or in other words, would you meet him again?" Wang Jinxue listened silently, and suddenly asked this question inadvertently.
"Of course, if..." Xu Cancan subconsciously wanted to answer that she would come to find him, but when she suddenly put herself in his shoes, she was stunned.
If Lu Yuan was really just a cook in the town and had no talent at all, would I really come to find him and get to know him?
Won't you come find him?
Xu Cancan asked herself, but then she found that there was no answer at all.
She suddenly didn't know what to say next.
"Will it?" Wang Jinxue looked at Xu Cancan silently.
"I don't know if... but if he doesn't appear on the Internet, it will probably be difficult for me to recall this memory of my childhood. If I can't think of him and don't meet him, then it shouldn't happen." Xu Cancan raised his head and shook his head.
There was an unspeakable complexity in her eyes.
She suddenly realized that the memory of Lu Yuan's youth was not very important to her. After all, it was a memory that could be forgotten temporarily...
"Fate is really strange... If Lu Yuan hadn't suddenly come to me to sell his script, I probably wouldn't have had any contact with Lu Yuan..." Wang Jinxue didn't look at Xu Cancan, but looked elsewhere.
However, what if this world doesn't exist?
"Yeah, that's right." Xu Cancan silently recorded some things and looked towards the classroom.
Then, she saw Edward and others tiptoeing to another window of the classroom and carefully looking through the gap at the environment inside the classroom, looking like thieves.
Xu Cancan and Wang Jinxue also walked over.
Then...
They saw through the window that Lu Yuan was sitting quietly in the last row, closing his eyes and listening to the piano music...
…
It was clearly the piano sound of this world, but Lu Yuan seemed to hear the call of the original world.
A memory suddenly popped into his mind.
I thought of the female teacher who taught me piano. She praised me more than once for my talent in piano. She said that although I am old, there is still hope as long as I work hard and persevere.
At that time, Lu Yuan was a little skeptical. He felt that learning the piano was actually just to deceive girls and show off his talents as a versatile literary youth. After all, everyone was doing that.
talent?
Anyone who takes this talent seriously is a fool.
Memories flashed through Lu Yuan's mind, and then he found himself hearing the sound of "To Alice" next to him. After "To Alice" finished, he heard the crazy melody of "Immortal Movement", and finally, the sound of "Canon" appeared again...
These are all piano pieces he had tried before. Except for "Immortal Movement" and "Dance of the Bumblebee", he has played the others at least once.
The memory gradually became clearer, and he could already hear the voice of Destiny ringing out.
It's piano music!
Yes!
"He is a giant. He is a great giant in the history of piano and even in the history of human music..."
"But... God is very cruel to him, like he is in a desperate situation..."
"This is a very heavy, yet very exhilarating piece of music. Every time I play this piece or watch symphonies on TV, I feel like a giant appears before my eyes, and that giant uses his blood and sweat, and his last bit of strength to tear apart the darkness..."
"It's a pity that I can't put myself in that mood, otherwise I can play this piece very well..."
“…”
The lamenting and regretful voice of the female teacher appeared in Lu Yuan's mind. Then, Lu Yuan saw the female teacher walk step by step to the piano, sit down, stretch out her hand, and play "Fate".
The scene changed, and Lu Yuan recalled the story and experience of the giant.
He tried to immerse himself in the story. In his mind, he sketched out a strange family picture, an alcoholic father, a mother who died young, and a first love who was of a very different status...
As if he was just passing through a scene, Lu Yuan played that role. Then, he remembered that he gradually began to lose hearing, became angry, and slowly became hysterical. He felt that all this was unfair. In his anger, he had no way out. Fate was like a monster, oppressing him severely. For a pianist, the most unacceptable thing was that he could not hear what he played. Without hearing, everything...
Does it still make sense?
He began to despair, and began to feel that everything was accompanied by darkness, without any dawn, as if everything had abandoned him and the world could no longer give him any joy.
Darkness, darkness continues, darkness goes on to infinity...
Despair, despair to the extreme, and then endless anger filled deep in my heart.
The picture completely shattered, and then, the memories of two lifetimes also shattered.
Then!
"Boom!"
The heavy piano sounded...
What's this?
This is……
"destiny"!
"Destiny" is here!
The voice of "Destiny" suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan's ears. The moment this voice sounded...
Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Suddenly, without any warning, he stood up.
"I will... take fate by the throat. He will never make me completely subdue him..."
Lu Yuan's voice also came without any warning, carrying with it endless stubbornness, endless anger, and endless unwillingness!
In front of me, the sound of the piano being played suddenly stopped...
Teacher Xu looked at Lu Yuan who suddenly stood up and was shocked by his momentum for a moment.
Outside the window, Edward and others' pupils also shrank.
What did they see?
They saw Lu Yuan with red eyes walking towards the piano step by step. He seemed to be a completely different person, as if he couldn't hear any sound around him...
In his eyes, no, in his entire world, there was only that piano.
And the melody echoing in my mind.
"I will strangle fate by the throat!"
“…”
Teacher Xu subconsciously stepped aside.
Then he saw Lu Yuan sitting down.
When Lu Yuan touched the piano, his hands trembled slightly...
Then, the melody of "Destiny" in my mind became clearer and clearer.
"Boom!"
The sound of the piano began to play, and then Lu Yuan lowered his head...
