Chapter 22 Liu Miaomiao (asking for monthly ticket)
Liu Miaomiao's grandfather is a cellist of the National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra. Unfortunately, her father did not inherit the old man's talent for the instrument.

Her father seemed to have placed his hopes on her and searched all of his surviving music friends, but after seeing her performance, they all shook their heads without exception.

Maybe better than his father, but far from being a talent.

Her father, who didn't believe in superstition, enrolled her in a piano class at the Children's Palace, and all she had left of her childhood were memories of practicing the piano and strengthening her finger strength.

It can’t be said that Liu Miaomiao has a great love for the piano, but she has been used to obeying her father’s words since she was a child.

She was not the kind of talented girl who could achieve the same level of hard work as others by playing the piano casually in her free time, so she could only focus all her time and energy on the piano.

As the mother joked with the piano teacher, her daughter can only play the piano and doesn't know anything else. What if she meets a boy with bad intentions and is tricked away by just a wave of his hand?

Liu Miaomiao in the piano room said nothing, but sat obediently on the piano bench with her knees pressed down, raising her long, slender hands to strike out notes on the keys...

"Chopin's Ballade No. 1? The Neapolitan Sixth Chord would be better."

After the song, accompanied by gentle applause, a voice came from behind, which startled the young Liu Miaomiao.

But before she could turn her head to look, a pair of arms suddenly stretched out from behind her, a unique warm breath came over her face, and white hands were placed on the keys in front of her.

"Chopin's Ballade No. 1" begins with the most stable triad of all chords, and then turns into the first inversion sixth chord of the triad.

However, the Neapolitan sixth chord is a little special compared to other sixth chords.

when……

The fingers of those hands struck the keys, and an extremely heavy bass sounded.

The notes slowly climb up along the foundation laid by the bass, and with the support of this extremely solid bass, they slowly climb from the low part to the high part.

The Neapolitan sixth chord lowers the position of the root note, and the originally extremely solid sixth chord becomes free, giving the notes a unique sense of sadness.

It serves as an indicator of detuning and an intermediate tone for changing tonality.

The ambiguous feeling of being there and not there made Liu Miaomiao's heart tremble.

It was clearly the same rhythm, the same piano, but she could hear the difference just from the first note.

The pair of hands, which were slightly broader than hers, did not stop. Under those hands, the piano as a percussion instrument lost its inherent disadvantages.

All the notes formed a line, an extremely perfect line, just like a real person singing.

Although the granular feeling of the piano keys being pressed is preserved, it is integrated with the powerful arms that are leaping up and down, and becomes as delicate as fine sand in the wind brushing against the cheek.

A true pianist will always play the music with all his passion and strength, his fingers flying across the octaves at high speed and landing on the black and white keys like ripples on a lake.

The sound was flowing, flowing out from the piano, accompanied by the warmth in the chest behind her, as if to completely drown Liu Miaomiao.

With a gentle syllable, the entire movement ended. From extremely fast to extremely slow, the connection between the two relative speeds, the lingering sound of the notes echoed and dissipated, naturally giving people a sense of loss.

"Playing it hundreds and thousands of times in a boring way will wear away the remaining passion in your heart," he said. "Since the established facts cannot be changed, why not try to invest your own feelings?"

"Whether it's reluctance or regret..." Click.

It was not until the front door of the practice room was opened by the piano teacher and Liu Miaomiao came back to her senses after hearing the teacher ask her with a hint of surprise and joy how she had made such great progress.

The hands that were placed on the piano keys in front of me have disappeared, leaving only the remaining warmth behind me which is gradually dissipating.

Some people say that you should not meet someone too amazing when you are young, because he can take away your entire youth with just a turn.

That stunning feeling was fleeting, but it could never be erased from my memory. The unclear face kept appearing in my mind, and I gradually beautified and modified it until it became perfect.

Later, Liu Miaomiao entered the junior high school department of Shilan Middle School.

The board of directors of Shilan Middle School always enhances the school's reputation and brand by organizing performance activities similar to celebrations.

Liu Miaomiao, who has already taken the tenth level piano exam at a young age, is undoubtedly a must-have program in the annual gala for her solo. Handsome men and beautiful women in black dresses dance around her and the piano.

Liu Miaomiao and Qi Xiuyuan were in the same class, so naturally they had heard of his deeds.

From the little sisters' mouths, you may not know what he looks like, but you will definitely know his deeds.

You may not even know his gender, but you must have heard of Qi Xiuyuan's name because he is the school's golden signboard.

In the eyes of teachers and parents, he is a symbol, a symbol, representing the child of other people's families, the academic genius in the sky, the one who is blessed by God, the typical orphan who has turned over a new leaf, and a miracle that the principal has to greet with a smile when he sees him.

But what Liu Miaomiao heard most about was his identity as a best-selling author and child star.

Until this year, when Shilan Middle School cooperated with a film crew to promote the film, Qi Xiuyuan stood in the center of the stage with a viola and bow in hand in front of the silent teachers and students of the school, and played the theme song of the movie solo.

The sad and melancholy sound of the piano infected all the audience present. Every time the strings were plucked, it seemed as if a scratch was left on the girls' hearts. From the beginning to the end of the piece, the bow wrote on their hearts again and again.

When Qi Xiuyuan finished his performance, packed up his guitar case and stood up to bow, his name was already engraved in the hearts of countless girls, and tears of sorrow flowed in the hearts of countless boys.

Liu Miaomiao, who is most knowledgeable in music theory, heard the familiar regret and melancholy in the tune of the piano.

But even though she knew that Qi Xiuyuan was the same person, Liu Miaomiao still didn't know what to do or what she could do because of her introverted personality since childhood.

It was not until today, when I was pushed by my little sisters, that I finally came over reluctantly and bravely called out that name.

"Liu Miaomiao?" he said.

The face in her memory gradually overlapped with the face of the boy in front of her, causing Liu Miaomiao, who had been full of confidence, to lower her eyes in frustration.

But just like the villain destined to appear in the story, a slender hand, like the light of a silver-white knife, interrupted everything with an almost brutal momentum.

"I'm sorry, classmate."

Liu Miaomiao looked up in astonishment, meeting a pair of dark green eyes that looked down upon her. She only heard her say lightly, "He has an appointment."
