1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 71 Help and Recognition

"crunch~"

"Huh~"

The temperature in Jiangcheng has dropped in the past few days, with the temperature only one or two degrees. The weather forecast says it might even snow.

As soon as he walked out of the door, a sharp wind blew in from the yard, making Cheng Kaiyan shiver. He quickly wrapped his clothes tightly and put on his hat.

Looking up not far away, I saw Liu Xiaoli was indeed wearing a military coat wrapped around her body, with her dance costume underneath, and only a pair of thin ballet stockings on her legs.

At this moment, he was walking towards the dormitory building with an anxious look on his face, calling Cheng Kaiyan's name from time to time.

"Sister Xiaoli!"

Cheng Kaiyan hurriedly chased after her and stopped her.

"Kai Yan! I finally found you! I have something to ask you. Can you play the piano?"

Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief, finally finding him, and then quickly asked.

"I can play the piano. Just tell me what it is and I will help if I can."

Cheng Kaiyan looked at the girl's face, which was pale from the cold because she was wrapped in clothes. Her legs were only wearing a thin pair of white stockings and she was shivering from the cold. She felt so distressed for a moment.

Not caring what happened, he hurriedly pulled Liu Xiaoli towards the dormitory building.

Back at the dormitory building, Cheng Kaiyan quickly found a pair of pants for her to put on.

Seeing the girl's face gradually warming up, Cheng Kaiyan asked, "Sister Xiaoli, what's the important matter? Why did you run out like this without even changing into your dance clothes? Aren't you guys rehearsing now?"

Liu Xiaoli touched the thick men's fleece pants on her legs with her cold hands, and explained with a twinkle in her eyes: "It's like this, the dance we are going to perform today is "The Dying Swan", and we have prepared a live piano performance.

But just yesterday the person who accompanied us had an accident and is now in the hospital, so there is no live piano performance, only a recording. However, this greatly reduces the expressiveness and artistry of the stage performance.

Although I can play the piano, I don’t know how to play “Swan”, so I want to ask you if you can play it.

After saying that, Liu Xiaoli looked at Cheng Kaiyan a little embarrassedly. Besides embarrassment, there was also a strong expectation in her eyes.

Honestly, it was unreasonable to expect so much from him, but the girl just felt that he might.

It might be the last straw that made Liu Xiaoli run out to find him without even changing her clothes, wearing a military coat.

"So this is ah."

Cheng Kaiyan nodded thoughtfully. The girl in front of him tilted her head back, and her ink-black eyes reflected the light from the window as she looked at him.

Seeing this, Cheng Kaiyan patted his chest confidently and said, "Of course I can. I have listened to this song many times when you were training. Let's go to the auditorium so that your friends and teachers won't be waiting anxiously."

"real!"

Liu Xiaoli said in surprise, the light in her eyes was brighter than before, and a smile bloomed on her face.

She did not question Cheng Kaiyan, she only knew that Cheng Kaiyan would not lie to her.

"Then let's go."

……

Auditorium lounge.

Teacher Jiang Ling stood at the door and looked out. Seeing that Liu Xiaoli had not come back yet, she frowned and asked anxiously, "Danping girl, why hasn't Xiaoli come back yet? Where did she go?"

"I don't know. He didn't say anything. It seems like he went to look for Brother Kaiyan."

Wang Danping huddled on a stool, looking worried.

"It's our turn to rehearse soon, why hasn't he come back yet? This kid is like this, he wants to see his girlfriend every day after dating her, and he doesn't care what time it is!" Teacher Jiang Ling sighed.

But just as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Then Liu Xiaoli pulled Cheng Kaiyan in.

"Teacher Jiang, I found it! I found someone who can play!"

Liu Xiaoli shouted loudly, breathlessly.

This immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the lounge, and everyone became excited when they heard this.

"found it?"

"That's great! I can finally stop recording. It's all electrical noise and I can't feel it when I'm dancing."

"That is, where is it better than playing live?"

……

"Xiao Li, you are not talking about Comrade Xiao Cheng, are you?"

Teacher Jiang Ling looked at Cheng Kaiyan, who was holding hands with Liu Xiaoli, in surprise and doubt, and asked.

It turns out that Xiaoli didn't go out to play, but went to ask for help. I misunderstood her.

But to be honest, she didn't quite believe that Cheng Kaiyan knew this song.

The teachers and the girls in the dance troupe also calmed down and looked at Liu Xiaoli and Cheng Kaiyan, wanting to see what was going on.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. I've listened to this piece countless times outside the training room these days. It's no problem."

Facing everyone's doubts, Cheng Kaiyan just responded calmly. Just standing there gave people a sense of calmness and composure, which made people believe it involuntarily.

"Okay, then you give it a try. It's okay if you can't play it well. Comrade Xiao Cheng, you don't have to feel pressured. After all, you are here to help. Thank you anyway."

Teacher Jiang Ling patted his shoulder seriously and looked at him deeply.

Now we can only treat the dead horse as a live doctor.

However, Jiang Lingdao did not think that the young man was lying, because it was too stupid. When he got on the stage during rehearsal, it would be clear whether he could play the piece well or not.

There is absolutely no need to lie. Several teachers were skeptical and thought it would be okay to give it a try. After all, if it doesn't work, they can still use recordings.

But after hearing Cheng Kaiyan's assurance, the girls in the dance troupe became happy and began to actively do physical activities to prepare for the next rehearsal.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the lounge seemed to come alive again.

"One two three four, two two three four..."

"Hey, hey! Hey, hey."

Liu Xiaoli was standing not far from Cheng Kaiyan, standing on tiptoes and stretching, showing off her beautiful body curves unscrupulously and concentrating on her work.

Xiao Caiyun: "Can your Comrade Xiao Cheng really do it? Xiaoli?"

Wang Danping bit her finger and asked, "Yes, Sister Xiaoli, can he play it just by listening outside the training room? Is he a genius?"

"I believe him, and there's no need for him to lie to me!"

Liu Xiaoli secretly looked back at the guy sitting in her seat, her heart full of anticipation, looking forward to how he would surprise everyone later.

……

Cheng Kaiyan was now sitting contentedly on a stool padded by a military coat, watching the girls' lively warm-up exercises with comfort.

It was like entering a country of women, and I finally entered the training room.

It didn't take long.

The staff outside the door came in and shouted, "Dance Troupe of Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater, it's your turn to rehearse, come out quickly."

"Come on everyone, this is the last rehearsal."

Teacher Jiang Ling waved her fist and swept her eyes over everyone, finally landing on Cheng Kaiyan.

The girls walked towards the door excitedly, without any worry on their faces.

Cheng Kaiyan also followed them, as the girls walked out of the lounge and onto the stage.

A piano sat quietly on the stage, with an old-style dynamic microphone standing upright next to it. Cheng Kaiyan walked closer to take a look and found that the piano was a Yamaha grand piano and the microphone was manufactured by the 714 Nanjing Radio Factory.

Cheng Kaiyan turned around and saw the girls in the dance troupe looking at him worriedly. He smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Then he sat on the piano stool, recalling the memories in his mind, and each note appeared in his mind, every detail clear.

This is why he dared to say that he could play the song "Swan". His memory is really good.

"Music starts! Dance starts!"

Following teacher Jiang Ling's order, everyone present silently watched the ballet troupe, looking forward to what kind of performance they would bring.

Even during rehearsal, there are audiences in the audience.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Kaiyan's ten slender and powerful fingers began to dance on the black and white piano keys like butterflies, and a quiet and soothing piano sound was transmitted to the auditorium through the microphone.

When the girls heard the familiar piano music, they were immediately delighted and danced with their beautiful and graceful bodies to the rhythm of the music.

After a while, the song ended and the dance ended with it.

The people in the audience also applauded, and teacher Jiang Ling almost burst into tears. Fortunately, there was no danger!
"You're dancing better! Xiao Cheng plays the guitar really well, too!"

After the dance, everyone came off the stage. Wang Danping threw herself into Jiang Ling's arms with a smile as sweet as a bell, "Teacher Jiang, we danced really well, didn't we?!"

"Oh...yeah, great dancing, great job!"

Teacher Jiang Ling held her stomach, then looked at everyone and said with emotion: "Everyone is great. I feel relieved for the performance tonight. Xiao Cheng, thanks to you this time. I just listened to it and it was great. On behalf of the song and dance troupe, I thank you."

You know, the song "Swan" is not a simple one. When we were choosing people to play it, only Lao Wang played it skillfully.

But Cheng Kaiyan had only heard it a few times outside the training room, but she remembered it and could play it?

It's really amazing!

"Yes! Xiaoli's boyfriend is now in love thanks to you. I'll buy you some candy tomorrow!"

A woman in her twenties with a big braid looked at Cheng Kaiyan with gratitude. She didn't expect that Cheng Kaiyan, who was not favored by everyone in the dance troupe, had such a talent.

Sure enough, the real person does not show his face!

"That's right, how could Xiaoli's vision be bad?"

Hu Yanzhang also jumped out and said that she was actually very grateful to Cheng Kaiyan and Liu Xiaoli. After all, this dance was a team effort and they all prospered and suffered together.

"Yo yo, Yan Zhang, the sun is rising from the west!"

Everyone pointed at Hu Yanzhang and teased him with a smile.

In fact, it is normal for everyone to have some minor conflicts in daily life, but people nowadays have a strong sense of collective honor and can see clearly the major issues.

"It's okay. You are Xiaoli's teacher, and we are all Xiaoli's colleagues and classmates. We are all family members."

Cheng Kaiyan nodded and spoke gently.

This made everyone present nod their heads in satisfaction. Now everyone knew why Liu Xiaoli chose him instead of Professor An, who had better conditions.

A man who can handle things at critical moments is trustworthy and has good character.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Cheng Kaiyan who was surrounded by the crowd with a smile in her eyes.

It feels good to be recognized by the people around you.

But that’s not enough. He will definitely surprise them later in the evening. He is not only good at playing the piano, but he can also write songs and is a writer!

Not ordinary people!
