Chapter 183 Graduation Performance
The next day, Liu Lan went to Shen Mozhen's piano room.
Shen Mozhen called her and asked her to come over to discuss the selection of music.
When she met Shen Mozhen, Liu Lan first told her that she was going to attend Tang Tu's concert, to prevent Shen Mozhen from getting suspicious. If Shen Mozhen was disgusted, she could also withdraw from the concert in time to avoid suspicion, so that they could find other guests as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Shen Mozhen was not surprised at all. "Tang Tu has already told me," she added, "I will also perform at Tang Tu's recital."
Liu Lan was confused, "Don't you mind?" Isn't it strange to go and support your ex-boyfriend?
Shen Mozhen shook his head. "I was the one who proposed the breakup, and I was the first to let go of this relationship. Tang Tu and I are just not suitable to be lovers, but it doesn't mean that we have become enemies."
Shen Mozhen didn't tell Liu Lan that her elders asked her to spend more time with Tang Tu. They could be friends even if they were not lovers. It was impossible for her and Tang Tu to completely break off their relationship. Even if she wanted to break off, her parents would not agree.
Liu Man felt that she still had to make it clear to Shen Mozhen, "Professor Qiu Jing asked Tang Tu and I to work together to promote the movie at his graduation performance. The song we played was the movie's theme song, The Sound of the Wind."
Liu Lan did not tell anyone about the fact that Tang Tu had helped her father. After all, this was her family affair, and she and Shen Mozhen were not close enough to share each other's privacy.
...
...
Shen Mozhen nodded. She didn't mind whether Liu Lan understood or not. After going through so many things, she really had no feelings for Tang Tu at all.
"How is your finger now?" Shen Mozhen asked.
Liu Lan stretched out her hands to show her. Apart from faint pink marks, there were basically no visible scars. Moreover, after resting for ten days, her nails had grown one or two centimeters longer, which was enough for playing the guqin. At least her fingers would not be cut and bleed again.
Shen Mozhen was worried about Liu Lan, "You need to grow nails to play the guqin, but you can't grow nails to play the piano. You only have one pair of hands, how are you going to reconcile them?"
Liu Man smiled and said, "Fortunately, your solo concert is first and Tang Tu's is later. After I finish the performance with you, I will cut my nails."
"What about the future? After all, you are in the piano department, and piano is your main profession, but the guqin is where your real talent lies."
Shen Mozhen believes that if this contradiction is not resolved, it will have a great impact on Liu Lan's future.
Liu Lan has not thought about this issue yet. Her biggest pressure right now is to pass the final exam smoothly and ensure that she is not expelled from the school.
It is impossible for Shen Mozhen, an outstanding graduate, to understand the troubles of poor students.
Liu Lan said, "Let's take it one step at a time. When you are surrounded by mountains and rivers, you may think there is no way out, but there is always a way out. There is always a way to solve it."
Shen Mozhen laughed. When modern people are chatting, who would be so clumsy as to bring in verses of poetry? It would make people think that they are showing off their knowledge.
But Liu Lan looked very serious, which was strange and interesting. It seemed that she was reciting poetry just for the sake of reciting poetry.
Shen Mozhen had no idea about his true self.
After the duet concert, Liu Lan memorized English words during the day, recited Tang and Song poems at night, and practiced calligraphy. There was no other way, as Professor Su wanted to test her. Last night she happened to be memorizing Lu You's poems and lyrics, and she subconsciously came up with this sentence. Her thinking was really a little confused, with both English and poetry, there were too many things in her head.
Shen Mozhen listed several songs he had selected, "'High Mountains and Flowing Water', 'Wild Geese Flying Over the Plain Sands' and 'Three Variations on Plum Blossoms', which one are you better at?"
The last two pieces were from the Han Dynasty onwards. Liu Man not only could not play them, she had never even heard of them. She chose "High Mountains and Flowing Water" without hesitation. There was less than a week left before Shen Mozhen's concert, and Liu Man had no spare time to learn new pieces. She said, "I am more familiar with "High Mountains and Flowing Water."
For Shen Mozhen, there is no difference between these three pieces. She is good at all of them.
"Bring your guqin to me tomorrow, and we'll rehearse three or four times. That should be enough."
