I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 64 Four-Handed Piano Duet
[Congratulations, host, you have received a 300% reimbursement. The purchase cost 255 million, and the reimbursement amount is 765 million, which has been transferred to your account.]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill - Photography (Professional Level)]

As soon as I finished speaking, a flood of photography, editing, and photo retouching techniques came to mind.

Although this skill doesn't quite suit Chen Yan's taste, it's still quite practical.

After leaving his residential address and setting the visit time for the next morning, Chen Yan quickly left the piano store and took the elevator directly to the basement.

……

After buying the piano, Chen Yan first picked up Tian Jingyi from her get out of class and took her to that private restaurant for dinner.

Normally, after dinner, the two would digest for a while, then go to the gym to play badminton, and finally go home and have a good time.

However, the training between the two was too intense, which caused Tian Jingyi's legs to still be weak. She can't do any strenuous exercise, let alone run fast, so she can only go to class obediently.

Chen Yan also went to class obediently, but instead of a professional course, he attended Wen Ya's piano lesson.

For some reason, Wenya seemed much more relaxed in class today than before. In addition, Chen Yan learned very quickly, so the class went very smoothly without many mistakes.

With five minutes left before the end of get out of class, this would usually be Chen Yan's solo practice time, where he would practice the piece he would learn in the next class.

However, Chen Yan wanted to make some different arrangements today.

……

"Sister Wenya, you look great today. Did something good happen?" Chen Yan asked casually as he sat on the piano bench.

"Huh?" Wen Ya was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "How did you figure that out?"

"It's obvious. You seem very relaxed today. For the past few days, you always seemed tense in class, as if you were being weighed down by a big rock."

"I see. You have a very keen eye for detail." Wen Ya nodded and said, "I've finished a big task these past few days, so I'll have a lot of free time for a while now."

"Oh, that's good." After laying the groundwork, Chen Yan casually said, "By the way, Sister Wenya, I watched a video of someone playing the piano the other day, and I felt that the tension was very strong. Why don't you take a look?"

"What video?" Wen Ya got up and walked behind Chen Yan, bending down slightly.

Chen Yan then opened the video he had prepared beforehand and started playing it.

The video shows two men playing a four-hand piano duet, performing Schubert's Fantasy in F minor.

The entire video is about five minutes long, which is exactly the climax of the piano piece. The three-against-two rhythmic parts interweave, which fully demonstrates the passionate romance.

"They're all professional pianists, and they really do play very well." Wenya nodded, a hint of envy in her voice. After all, she had started practicing piano with the dream of becoming a professional pianist, but after realizing her lack of talent, she chose to become a piano teacher instead.

Although he is satisfied with his current life, just like many people with average talent would envy the brains of those who are academic superstars during their school days, Wenya also envies those who can become professional pianists.

“I think it’s great too, and I’d like to film a segment like that.” Chen Yan seized the opportunity and said, “How about we collaborate and film this lyrical segment? It only needs to be five minutes long.”

"Huh?" Chen Yan's suggestion surprised Wen Ya.

Although she started practicing piano in junior high school, she mostly played alone. The few times she did a four-hand duet were with her best friend Jiang Xiu. Now, she was asked to play a four-hand duet with a man... "Let's give it a try. It's only five minutes anyway. If it's inconvenient to film, recording is fine too." Chen Yan put her hands together and bowed in a somewhat funny manner. "Dear Teacher Wenya, please grant me this wish."

Just as Wenya was still struggling with her decision, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the ointment that Chen Yan had given her, which was now sitting on her desk. The words of refusal stuck in her throat.

"Never mind, it's only five minutes anyway, I'll just play one part at a time." Wenya bit her lower lip and nodded, "It's okay, I'm not some big star, and there's a rule about not filming videos. But I have something to do tonight, so let's finish filming this part and then we'll be done with get out of class."

"Okay, Wenya, you're amazing."

……

Although she had already made her decision, when Wen Ya sat on the piano chair, no more than a fist's distance from Chen Yan beside her, her body still involuntarily stiffened.

In this enclosed environment, Zheng Feng is the only one who has maintained such a close distance with a member of the opposite sex over the years...

Wen Ya could even smell the faint scent emanating from Chen Yan—a crisp cedar scent, very subtle, yet incredibly refreshing.

"Did you put on perfume?" Wenya asked casually, trying to ease the awkwardness.

"No, I don't usually wear perfume. What's wrong? Do I smell?" Chen Yan said, while pretending to sniff.

"It has a scent, a very pleasant scent." Wenya naturally couldn't voice her true thoughts, so she could only cover it up by saying, "No, I was just asking. Let's play first."

"Okay." Chen Yan nodded, then gently pressed the piano keys.

……

In terms of piano technique alone, Wenya is undoubtedly much better than Chenyan, but because she is in an abnormal state, she is unable to concentrate, which leads to frequent mistakes in this four-hand duet.

After the third mistake...

"I'm not feeling well today, maybe next time?" Wen Ya's voice was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I really am not feeling well today."

"It's alright, it's alright. This is our first time playing a four-handed duet, so it's normal for our coordination to be off." Chen Yan's attitude remained unchanged as he gently comforted us, "Let's try again. If we both pay a little more attention, we can definitely do it."

Seeing that Chen Yan showed no dissatisfaction, Wen Ya felt a pang of guilt and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll adjust myself for a moment."

She took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

With each breath, she kept giving herself mental suggestions.

'Focus your attention, focus your attention, and immerse yourself completely in the music.'

After two or three breaths, the fourth repetition officially begins.

This time, the performance was incredibly smooth, and Chen Yan even felt as if he had subtly activated [emotional resonance].

As for Wenya, perhaps due to the previous psychological suggestion, she focused all her attention on the music this time...

Coincidentally, the lyrical part of the Fantasy in F minor is precisely the most dramatic section of the entire piece, and many people have expressed the same view on this part—it perfectly captures the tension between lovers who, after an argument, embrace and weep together…
