Teacher Yin Le tried hard to suppress the surging excitement in her heart, raised her chin, pursed her lips, and said in a seemingly calm manner, "Liu Feng, you play the piano and guqin quite well."
She secretly marveled, "It's more than just good!"
Liu Feng's effortless and natural playing, as if music were a natural flow from his soul, far surpassed her level, leaving her feeling inferior.
Such skill seems to be a unique talent bestowed upon him by God.
Yin Le could only use the word "genius" to describe the boy in front of him.
She gently bit her lower lip, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart and comfort herself with this small gesture.
Liu Feng seemed oblivious to her odd behavior and replied nonchalantly, "It's alright."
Teacher Yin Le's slender fingers unconsciously touched the strings lightly, as if to conceal the subtle emotions in her heart.
She slowly moved closer to Liu Feng, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, sparkling with inquiry, and tentatively asked, "What other musical instruments do you play?"
Liu Feng glanced at Teacher Yin Le, who was standing close by, and could smell her orchid-like fragrance.
But he still said casually, "A little bit of everything, I guess."
This casual attitude left Ms. Yin even more impressed. Suppressing her curiosity, she softly asked, "Could you show me a few more?"
And so, under her beautiful gaze.
Liu Feng picked up different musical instruments again, whether it was a violin, a guitar, or other instruments.
His every performance was like flowing water, as if the instruments had long been a part of his body. His skill was so superb that Teacher Yin Le was amazed.
Her luscious red lips slowly parted, her eyes filled with admiration and amazement.
She couldn't help but admire Liu Feng's handsomeness and talent, and secretly marveled at his extraordinary musical talent, which she couldn't ignore.
Teacher Yin Le leaned gently against the piano, like a moving painting.
Her voice was gentle yet earnest: "Liu Feng, could you do me a favor?"
Liu Feng raised an eyebrow and said without hesitation, "No."
Teacher Yin Le felt a surge of anxiety, and a hint of panic appeared on her beautiful face. She hurriedly said, "Liu Feng, can you please listen to what I'm saying first?"
Liu Feng's eyes flickered slightly: "Can I not listen?"
Teacher Yin Le spoke in a slightly spoiled tone, as if she were about to whine: "No."
Liu Feng suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over his body; he was somewhat overwhelmed by Teacher Yin Le's demeanor.
He then remembered that Teacher Yin Le possessed an almost otherworldly talent for entertainment.
During that military training cultural performance, the song "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant," performed by Li Yu, Wang Juan, and Liu Feng, was deeply moving.
Since then, many girls have liked to sing this song.
This song blends heroism, gentleness, and masculinity, touching the hearts of many straight men.
At this moment, Teacher Yin Le unconsciously acted coquettishly, making Liu Feng unable to look her in the eye.
Liu Feng slowly took a few steps back, turned around and leaned against the window. The sunlight shone on his handsome face, making him appear otherworldly.
He said calmly, "Teacher, this is not appropriate. I am your student. You are making things difficult for me."
Teacher Yin Le seemed to have noticed Liu Feng's predicament.
Her cheeks flushed slightly. She composed herself, gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and said in a soft voice, "You still know I'm your teacher, so can't you do me a small favor? I'd like to form a school band, would you like to join?"
Liu Feng resolutely refused: "No."
This uncompromising rejection left Teacher Yin Le somewhat taken aback, and a look of disappointment and stiffness appeared on her pretty face.
This was the first time she had encountered such a difficult student to persuade.
"Liu Feng, think it over carefully. You have such high musical talent, don't you think it's a waste?" Teacher Yin Le tried to keep her tone calm and persuade Liu Feng.
But her inner anxiety could not be completely concealed.
Liu Feng stood by the window, gazing out at the tree-lined campus, and casually shrugged, as if the topic was unimportant.
He chuckled and said, "Whether talent is wasted or not is not for others to decide."
Ms. Yin felt somewhat helpless, but she did not want to give up.
Students at this age probably haven't realized that their potential could change their lives.
She changed her approach and said softly, "You also love music. Sometimes, collaborating with a band can bring unexpected joy. You don't want to always play alone, do you? Wouldn't it be better to share the joy of music with like-minded classmates?"
Liu Feng then turned around, still wearing that calm smile on his face, his hands in his pockets, his posture casual and relaxed.
“Teacher, I understand your good intentions. But I don’t need to prove anything in this way, and I don’t think the band will make me happier.”
Teacher Yin Le was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Looking at the confident young man, a complex emotion welled up inside her. Perhaps he truly no longer needed external validation to confirm his identity, but she was still unwilling to accept it.
"Liu Feng, to be honest with you, I also have my own selfish reasons for nurturing your music. Every two years, a national youth music competition is held, and I hope you can participate then."
Liu Feng did not give a direct answer, but smiled faintly: "Teacher, perhaps one day I will think about it seriously. But let's leave it at that for today."
After saying that, he gently pushed open the door and walked out with a flourish.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his back, his steps light and free, as if the turmoil and waves of the world could not shake the peace in his heart.
Perhaps, Liu Feng's musical journey doesn't require any band or stage.
He was simply enjoying his own unique rhythm.
But.
Teacher Yin Le sat quietly by the piano, her gaze fixed on Liu Feng's gradually disappearing figure, her heart filled with resentment and regret.
She was truly envious of the boundless musical talent hidden within this young man.
She clenched her fists tightly, bit her lip, and whispered hatefully, "Liu Feng, you won't escape my grasp!"
Outside the door, the moment Liu Feng stepped out, his otherworldly and ethereal appearance instantly caught everyone's eye.
Du Yu stamped his foot in jealousy.
A hint of joy appeared on Li Yu's face, and he couldn't help but call out softly, "Liu Feng, you're out."
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng turned to the side, glanced at Li Yu, and smiled slightly.
Li Yu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head. That shy demeanor stirred Liu Feng's heart, but he maintained his indifferent expression.
He sighed inwardly, "May I not be too sentimental in my words and deeds, and regard all beauty as scenery."
After his rebirth, Liu Feng became more sensitive to all the beautiful things in the world, yet he deliberately acted indifferent.
In this life, he only wants to never let the two women down again.
I'm too lazy to look back at the flowers, half for cultivating the Tao, half for you.
He didn't look back even once more.
