When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

Lu Yuxin seemed to sense Bai Yu's confusion and gently explained.

"This is simplified sheet music for the piano; even if you haven't studied it, you can roughly play a melody."

Which piano keys do these numbers correspond to?

Bai Yu couldn't help but ask.

But before he could finish speaking, Lu Yuxin had already made her next move.

She bent down and wrote numbers on the pristine white piano keys with a pen.

Before long, the corresponding numbers appeared on some of the previously pristine white piano keys.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yu gasped, feeling rather embarrassed.

"This...isn't necessary?"

"Hmm? Do you want me to guide you to the piano keys step by step?"

Lu Yuxin capped the pen, turned her head, and teased with a smile.

"No, no!"

"Give it a try, just press the buttons according to the sheet music."

Lu Yuxin chuckled and made way for Bai Yu.

Looking at that expensive piano, with numbers written on it because of me.

Bai Yu sat carefully on the piano stool.

He wanted to put his hands on the piano keys, but hesitated for a moment.

Why do I feel like this would tarnish this piano?

"Don't just stand there, give it a try."

Seeing that Bai Yu was still sitting blankly on the piano bench, Lu Yuxin spoke up.

"Such a fine piano, it's a waste for me to play it!"

Bai Yu swallowed hard.

"Actually, that guitar is very good too... but these instruments are made to be used, so what's there to worry about?"

Lu Yuxin chuckled.

"All right......"

Bai Yu took a deep breath and placed the paper Lu Yuxin had written on in front of the piano.

Then, he started pressing the piano keys one by one, according to the numbers on the screen.

Bai Yu has good eyesight and reflexes, and her body coordination is also quite good.

Even if it's your first time playing the piano, you won't be flustered when you learn sheet music.

Beautiful piano music drifted out, and it was basically recognizable as "Rice Fragrance".

I really learned how to make Daoxiang in just three minutes!

Bai Yu's lips couldn't help but curl up; she was somewhat enjoying this feeling.

As a music enthusiast, the happiest thing is to play it myself.

Seeing Bai Yu's smile made Lu Yuxin quite happy.

It's truly a wonderful thing to find joy in music.

After playing the simplified musical score on the paper, Bai Yu stopped.

Because Lu Yuxin did not write out the following content.

As a beginner, I certainly don't have the ability to transcribe sheet music.

"How is it?"

"very nice."

Bai Yu uttered two words sincerely, his face still showing a hint of lingering satisfaction.

"Want to play again?"

Lu Yuxin noticed the happiness on Bai Yu's face and smiled.

"Well......"

Bai Yu was thinking about it.

But out of pride, I was a little embarrassed to ask.

However, Lu Yuxin was particularly good at observing people's micro-expressions and immediately saw through Bai Yu's thoughts.

"I can tell, I'll write the following for you."

She chuckled, took the blank sheet of paper back, and continued writing the rest of the musical score.

Before long, the sheet music for the entire song "Rice Fragrance" was written out.

Lu Yuxin placed the paper in front of Bai Yu.

But instead of moving aside, she sat down next to Bai Yu.

The piano bench is small and narrow, usually only big enough for one person to sit on.

If two people really need to sit together, they have to sit side by side.

"Go a little further... I'll play with you."

"what?"

Bai Yu blushed when he felt someone sitting close to him.

Although I've known this "friend" for a long time, this is only our first real meeting.

Bai Yu was a little unaccustomed to this happening right from the start.

"Then how should I play it?"

Bai Yu spoke cautiously, her every move restrained.

"Just play it according to the sheet music."

"All right."

Bai Yu took another deep breath and then carefully began to play according to the sheet music.

However, while Bai Yu was playing, Lu Yuxin was also playing.

However, she didn't play the main melody, but rather added some enrichment to the music.

This made Bai Yu admire Lu Yuxin's superb skills as she played.

But the more cautious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

Bai Yu accidentally played a wrong note, completely ruining the beautiful atmosphere.

This is bad!

Bai Yu's heart tightened, and she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue playing.

But Lu Yuxin didn't react much.

Her fingertips wandered across the black and white keys, subtly altering the key of Bai Yu's wrong notes.

Inevitably, his hand would brush against Bai Yu's.

This unintentional physical contact made both of their hearts race.

The music lasted for quite a while before finally coming to an end.

Bai Yu jumped up from the piano bench and then took two steps back in a panic.

"Sorry, I played a wrong note in the middle..."

"It's alright, that's pretty good. Even though it's simplified notation, it's only your second time playing it."

Lu Yuxin chuckled and shook her long, straight black hair.

"Thanks......"

"Want to play some more? I can teach you... If you want to get started with the piano, it's not just about playing simplified sheet music."

Lu Yuxin also stood up from the piano bench and looked into Bai Yu's eyes.

"Isn't that unnecessary...?"

"Are you going to refuse? My piano lessons are very expensive outside! I can teach you for free, no charge."

Bai Yu did not question these words.

Even a layman could tell that Lu Yuxin's skills were superb.

Why are you so good to me?

"Didn't you say we're friends?"

Lu Yuxin chuckled softly.

That's true. At the time, I didn't know that the girl with long, straight black hair in front of me was the one who played the piano.

Without her consent, he called her "friend" on his own.

Now it seems that she has accepted the title of "friend" with ease.

"You're so good to your friends."

Bai Yu couldn't help but speak.

"Because I don't have many friends... or rather, very few."

Lu Yu thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Very few? How many are there?"

Bai Yu became interested and couldn't help but ask.

A girl as beautiful and talented as her should have many friends, right?

"You're probably the only one at school right now, since I don't know if the others count as friends... they're more like classmates."

"what?"

This statement surprised Bai Yu.

"Am I the only one? Really?"

"It's definitely true, but there used to be quite a lot of them."

"They broke off their friendship?"

"no."

Lu Yuxin shook her head.

"I took a two-year break from school to participate in some competitions. When I came back, all my friends had graduated. After this summer, I graduated too."

"Are you a senior now?"

Bai Yu spoke with some surprise.

Upon learning this information, Lu Yuxin seemed to have matured a bit.

"uh-huh."

"Oh, it's you, senior..."
