"We've known each other for almost a year now, and I never knew you liked music so much!"
Aside from discussing playlists, Han Shangyan seemed completely clueless about other music-related topics.
This question made Han Shangyan's ears turn red.
He only learned some basic music knowledge in school when he was a child.
I learned guitar when I grew up, but I wouldn't say I'm very proficient.
But actually, he quite likes playing guitar and singing.
"I prefer pop music, so I'd like to practice guitar more, and maybe learn the drums and keyboard. Would that be a bit superficial?"
Of course, he also wanted to use this hobby to get closer to the other person.
Playing games only allows you to chat in the online world.
Now that we live closer, it's sometimes more convenient to visit in person to ask for advice.
"How could that be? I play the violin, not just classical music. I'm not that rigid."
Don't you really like the song "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies"? You're moving today, so it's not convenient for you to cook in the kitchen right now. Why don't you come over to my place for dinner?
After dinner, I'll let you listen to a violin version of "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies."
This request instantly brought a smile to Han Shangyan's face.
You go to all the trouble of moving here, isn't it all so you can have more opportunities to get closer to the other person?
After Han Shangyan took a shower and changed his clothes, he arrived at Tang Yu's apartment. He was immediately shocked by the delicious food laid out on the dining table.
"You cook so fast?"
Tang Yu took out clean bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the dining table, then laughed out loud.
"This was delivered by a nearby restaurant. I have invested in a restaurant there, and they deliver food on time whenever I am home."
Tang Yu had no interest in cooking.
Looking at the steaming hot food, Han Shangyan suddenly couldn't help but ask a question.
So you often eat alone at home?
This question is a bit harsh, but Tang Yu's answer was somewhat humorous.
"Isn't this all so I could wait for you to show up? So you'd realize I'm looking for a meal buddy."
Han Shangyan's heart instantly leaped with joy.
"Actually, I'm quite good at cooking. Next time you choose the ingredients, I'll cook it. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Tang Yu smiled but did not say anything in refusal.
She's actually used to being alone.
After dinner, Han Shangyan went to wash the dishes, while Tang Yu started playing the violin.
Han Shangyan had heard the song "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" many times and sung it with his friends many times as well.
This is the first time I've ever heard a violin performance.
The night was already deep outside the window, and Han Shangyan squatted on the ground, looking out the window, and tears inexplicably streamed down his face.
This song always reminds him of Team Solo, of their former glory, and of the pain they felt when they fell apart.
He still harbors resentment and cannot let go of what happened back then.
"Isn't it shameful for a grown man to shed tears?"
When Han Shangyan came to his senses, he found that Tang Yu had already finished playing the violin and was quietly watching him from the side.
This made him feel a little embarrassed.
Tang Yu stepped forward and squatted down next to Han Shangyan, then turned her head and smiled at him.
"Would you like some drinks?"
Han Shangyan was taken aback. He suddenly had a strong urge to confide in someone, so he nodded subconsciously.
After the two of them squatted by the window and started drinking, Han Shangyan couldn't help but talk about his youthful arrogance, his dreams, his passionate career, and his teammates who went their separate ways...
"Everything was fine at the beginning, but in the end, everyone became unrecognizable and forgot their original dreams."
For more than two years, Han Shangyan has not known who to confide in.
It was only at this moment that he seemed to find a chance to indulge his emotions a little.
Perhaps it was the girl's gentle, watery eyes, or perhaps it was an unconscious trust.
He couldn't pretend in front of the girl.
"I wanted to buy osmanthus flowers and share wine, but it will never be like the carefree days of my youth."
Han Shangyan, you're only 23 years old, and you're already experiencing this kind of feeling? That's not good.
"Then what should we do?"
"Enjoy life to the fullest when you are successful, lest you leave your golden goblet empty before the moon!"
You can laugh a few times in your life, but you have to get drunk when you meet in a drinking competition.
There is wine today, drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad.
To struggle against Heaven is a joy beyond measure! To struggle against Earth is a joy beyond measure! To struggle against Man is a joy beyond measure!
After Tang Yu finished reciting a bunch of poems with a smile, Han Shangyan burst out laughing.
"Come on, cheers!"
Chapter 7 Han Shangyan 7
Han Shangyan couldn't quite put his finger on how living in the same building had changed his life, only that the two of them felt closer and more familiar with each other.
Tang Yu is a person with a very regular lifestyle. Except when she flies abroad to perform, she always goes to bed early and gets up early.
So, after Han Shangyan figured out their schedules, the two of them often went for a morning run together before having breakfast.
When he had free time in the evenings, he would ask Tang Yu to teach him how to play musical instruments.
Then, he discovered that Tang Yuquan could play drums, guitar, and keyboard.
He would cook for him as payment after each lesson.
Aside from studying at school, he spent the rest of his time getting to know the girl's life.
He wanted to enter the other person's world.
However, Tang Yu is very busy, spending half of each month performing abroad, making her a true frequent flyer.
After flying back from the United States, Han Shangyan saw that Tang Yu was free in the evening, so he bought a fish and knocked on her door.
"Didn't you say you wanted to eat sauerkraut fish last time? I recently bought a kimchi jar and learned how to make sauerkraut. The taste is absolutely authentic."
Tang Yu was amused and opened the door to let them in.
“You really shouldn’t have grown up abroad; all your hobbies are those of a true Chinese person.”
Han Shangyan had already changed out of his special slippers and entered the kitchen to start cooking.
"So I think I might consider settling back in China in the future. Would you settle back in China?"
Han Shangyan asked the question casually, but he was actually a little nervous inside.
"Yes, I will probably go back to China, but I haven't decided which city to settle down in yet."
As soon as he said this, Han Shangyan began to probe.
"Didn't you grow up in Guangzhou? You don't like the weather in Guangzhou."
"No, I just don't want to live in the same city as my family. I only want to be distant relatives with them."
Having known each other for so long, Han Shangyan had come to understand Tang Yu's cold relationship with his family.
He changed the subject while cutting the tofu.
"In the two weeks you were gone, I've already learned to play several pieces fluently. Would Teacher Tang like to test me later?"
"Of course I want to test the results of my education. Han Shangyan, I heard that you used to have a bad temper and were very fierce when you were an e-sports player."
Now that you're my student, aren't you scared? I'm very strict, you know..."
Tang Yu wasn't serious at all when she said this; she was all smiles. Han Shangyan felt a warmth in his heart, and he smiled as he chopped the scallions.
"I did have a bad temper when I was younger, but I've changed a lot since then. I don't think my attitude towards you has ever made you feel irritable or easily angered, right?"
Irritable and easily angered?
She didn't sense this temper at all from Han Shangyan.
So she was a little surprised when she heard about Han Shangyan's past.
"Actually, I think you are quite emotionally stable. I guess you've just grown up."
Even Han Shangyan himself couldn't help but laugh out loud at these words.
He didn't feel that his temper had improved a lot; it was just that he was always quite emotionally stable in front of the person in front of him.
On the one hand, there is restraint, knowing that the other party does not like impulsive and irritable people.
On the other hand, the girl's gentle and kind nature made the air around them feel soft and enchanting.
Aside from seeing intimate moments between the girl and her ex-boyfriends, he only felt happy when he saw her otherwise.
"I don't actually have high emotional intelligence. If I say something really hurtful one day, you must tell me and I will correct my shortcomings."
Aside from the occasional awkwardness in our conversations, there were no particularly annoying moments.
Tang Yu was able to treat Han Shangyan as a slightly closer friend mainly because their values were quite compatible.
In a foreign country, it's quite rare to encounter someone like Han Shangyan, whose ideas are so brilliantly insightful.
After finishing dinner, Han Shangyan cleaned up the kitchen and began to show off his learning achievements.
They really put their heart into it; Tang Yu could tell that the other party genuinely liked these pieces.
