"Wow, amazing!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed, feeling impressed despite his confusion. "No wonder she's Teacher Miao Miao!"
Liu Miaomiao shook her head: "The threshold for the solo group is high. Many students from the affiliated high schools of music academies will come. With my amateur level 10, I will most likely just be a runner-up."
"What if we win? Teacher Miaomiao is the best in the world in my heart!" Lu Mingfei remained optimistic.
Liu Miaomiao smiled and waved her hand demurely, "What's the use of me being the best in the world in your eyes? Besides, it's not like I can't accept defeat. I lost last time, and I lost the time before that too."
"Ah, this..."
“I’ve long been aware of the gap between myself and the professional students, and I’m just taking this as an opportunity to gain more competition experience. However…” Liu Miaomiao’s voice was low, “I still really want to win an award.”
I don't want to just make my resume look better in the future; I also want to experience what it's like to be a champion.
Liu Miaomiao's face looked somewhat forlorn.
She was a genius girl in a small city, but heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river, and even geniuses are mediocre in the eyes of true geniuses.
Liu Miaomiao said that her skill level was average and that she didn't plan to pursue a career in music, but after practicing hard for more than ten years, how could she not be proud? How could she give up so easily?
Even if a person is slacking off or just lying around, they still harbor the wildest ambitions in their heart, as vast as the world itself.
Liu Miaomiao wanted to prove herself.
However, he has been constantly suffering setbacks and blows, becoming a disheartened dreamer.
"The threshold for soloists is high, but what about four-hand piano duets?" Lu Mingfei asked. "It sounds like the threshold is even higher than that for soloists."
"On the contrary, the threshold is lower, and there aren't that many geniuses to crush you."
"Firstly, four-hand piano duets are a niche genre; solo performances are the mainstream. Secondly, geniuses won't tolerate others stealing their spotlight." Liu Miaomiao pouted.
Then, seeing that Lu Mingfei still looked confused, Liu Miaomiao continued to explain:
"Four-hand piano is when two people squeeze in front of a piano to play together, one plays the bass notes and the other plays the treble notes, with all four hands working together to complete the piece."
This tests teamwork more; individual skills and techniques are secondary. Therefore, most participants are amateur students, unlike the solo category which is full of formally trained prodigies, making the pressure much less.
"I understand, it means that the chances of winning are higher in the four-handed piano duet group," Lu Mingfei concluded.
"That's the theory, but the key is... I don't have a partner. There are people at school who can play the piano, but I'm not familiar with them," Liu Miaomiao sighed helplessly.
“That’s true.” Lu Mingfei sighed in agreement.
He wanted to repay Teacher Miaomiao, but he had never even touched a piano before, so there was no way he could possibly play a four-hand duet with Liu Miaomiao.
“My talent has been enhanced, and the gap between me and those geniuses should be smaller,” Liu Miaomiao said. “Perhaps I can achieve a pretty good ranking this time.”
“I trust Teacher Miaomiao. So when does the competition start?” Lu Mingfei asked.
"We'll have to wait until summer vacation," Liu Miaomiao said. "There's no rush. Piano playing is like a ten-minute performance on stage, requiring ten years of practice off stage. There's no need to rush into practicing all at once."
Lu Mingfei responded with an "Oh".
This was just a brief interlude. Lu Mingfei learned to swim, and Liu Miaomiao satisfied her urge to play the piano. They glanced at the time; it was already past 2 a.m.
Liu Miaomiao had no intention of staying up all night, so she said goodbye to Lu Mingfei and returned to her room.
Lu Mingfei was the same.
……
The next morning, Chu Zihang came to the restaurant and saw Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao having breakfast.
He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao's relationship seemed to have improved.
But Chu Zihang couldn't quite put his finger on what was so good about it.
In the afternoon, Zhou Qinghe let Lu Mingfei and the other two go home. After all, they were not criminals, and there was no reason to restrict their personal freedom.
There are classes tomorrow, especially since Chu Zihang will be taking the college entrance exam soon.
Liu Miaomiao also had to find a way to deal with Chen Wenwen's questions. Although she was innocent and had nothing to hide, her one-night stand with Lu Mingfei was easily misunderstood.
Also, Zhou Qinghe gave Lu Mingfei a private reminder.
In a few days, a respectable person will come looking for him again; it could be her, or it could be someone else.
The Zhou family already knew that Lu Mingfei had killed a pure-blooded dragon with a few punches and forced back an individual suspected to be a dragon king, causing a huge uproar and sparking considerable discussion within the family.
Not only the orthodox schools, but also the Kassel College will be taking action.
While Lu Mingfei's ability to kill the snake-like Deadpool with three punches demonstrated his brilliant value, it wasn't to the point where he was indispensable.
However, Lu Mingfei's current record is terrifying, making him a walking sun.
Kassel College would naturally not allow other forces to seduce Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei thanked Zhou Qinghe and silently made a note of the matter.
there is always a solution to a problem.
When Lu Mingfei returned home, he found that the door was unlocked.
Pushing open the door, I looked up and saw Xia Mi lying on the sofa clutching her stomach, with a cup of brown sugar water on the coffee table.
Teacher Daye went to drink brown sugar water.
Upon seeing her senior brother return, the junior sister showed little joy, and even a hint of indifference.
“Teacher Da Ye, I brought you a gift.” Lu Mingfei said after thinking for a moment.
"Oh, what kind of souvenir is it? Is it the same as the seashell bracelet you're wearing on your wrist?" Xia Mi asked casually, glancing at her sideways.
"No, actually it's the dragon bone cross you wanted."
"...Oh, Senior Brother, welcome home~" Xia Mi jumped up from the sofa with a whoosh, rushed to Lu Mingfei's side, her face beaming with a smile, "Would you like to eat first? Or take a shower first? Junior Sister can do either~"
Lu Mingfei: "..."
Chapter 91 Xia Mi will be obedient if she doesn't get to eat meat.
His initial arrogance followed by his later obsequiousness is laughable.
Lu Mingfei sat on the sofa with an air of nonchalance, and Xia Mi solicitously offered him brown sugar water from the coffee table with both hands.
"Please have a drink, senior brother!"
Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it; it was warm to the touch.
He wasn't so young as to fight with Teacher Da Ye for brown sugar water, so he put it down again and said, "Xia Mi, is your uterine cold feeling any better? I heard that massaging the eight areas of your lower back can make you feel better."
"It's alright," Xia Mi rubbed her stomach, her temperament becoming obedient and docile like a wife after her husband handed over his salary for the month. "I don't know where the eighth area of my lower back is. Senior brother, would you like to massage it for me?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei's heart stirred slightly.
To be honest, he would rather rub a girl's belly than rub Xia Mi's slender waist.
It doesn't mean anything by it, it's just a simple way of remembering someone.
After all, he got abs, so he naturally had to pay a price.
"Ahem, I'll point it out to you later, you can rub it yourself," Lu Mingfei said seriously.
Xia Mi nodded, then narrowed her eyes slightly and asked tentatively, "By the way, what is the Dragon Bone Cross you mentioned, Senior Brother? You must have had quite a haul at the seaside resort during those two days."
Xia Mi had some doubts and suspicions in her heart. At that time, she fled to hide from Odin's Gungnir and was unaware of what happened next.
Could it be that my senior brother snatched the blue dragon's bone cross from Odin's hands?
Given his abilities, it's quite possible.
Incidentally, Xia Mi is not confident in bearing the fate and karma of Gungnir, but she has a way to delay it.
When Lu Mingfei deactivates Odin form, Gungnir will also disappear.
Teacher Daye escaped unscathed.
"The harvest? The harvest was alright."
Xia Mi was referring to the Dragon Bone Cross, but Lu Mingfei felt that the mere Dragon Bone Cross couldn't compare to Teacher Miao Miao teaching him to swim, offering her delicate fingers to help him complete the system task and obtain simulation points, listening to Teacher Miao Miao play "Moonlight Sonata," and having his head stepped on by the jailer...
Cross out the last one.
"Then... where is the Dragon Bone Cross?" Xia Mi looked around, wondering where Lu Mingfei had hidden the huge Dragon Bone Cross. In a backpack? That's too small, unlikely, there's no way it could fit in there.
She saw Lu Mingfei casually reach out and produce a large bone.
Xia Mi was slightly taken aback.
"Where did you come from?" Xia Mi asked, her beautiful eyes wide with confusion.
"Junior sister, have you ever heard of the universe hidden in the sleeve?" Lu Mingfei put down the large bone that looked like ivory, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked like a hermit master.
"Does Senior Brother mean you can use the 'Hidden Space in the Sleeve' technique?" Xia Mi asked in surprise.
The "sleeve-in-a-world" can be simply understood as a spatial storage bag. Very few alchemists in ancient times mastered this technology, and modern times are not as advanced as those in ancient times.
The power of the mystical side is slowly fading away; this is an inevitable fact.
Xia Mi's research on spatial techniques in the field of alchemy was not in-depth; previously, there were many storage bags in the treasure vault.
There are similar abilities in the Word of Power. As a Dragon King, Xia Mi naturally possesses them. Otherwise, even if she wins in the Bronze Ancient City, how could she take away the Dragon Bone Cross?
Faced with Xia Mi's surprise and doubt, Lu Mingfei nodded calmly, reached out with his left hand, and pulled out another large bone.
"Wow~ Senior brother is so amazing, junior sister is completely in awe of you." Xia Mi chimed in, playing the straight man.
"So, how did you acquire this ability, Senior Brother? Was it through your Word of Power? And did the orthodox sect know that the Dragon Bone Cross was in your possession?"
“They didn’t know that we were separated at the time. And I suddenly learned it,” Lu Mingfei said. “At that time, I fought Mr. McDonald for three hundred rounds, and I was knocked away by a mistake. When I rushed back, I ran into Odin and fought with all my might to take the Dragon Bone Cross.”
At the time, I was troubled about what to do with the Dragon Bone Cross. I thought it would be great if I had a spatial storage bag like those in fantasy novels, and then I awakened the 'Sleeve Universe'.
"That's utter nonsense."
"Is there?"
"Just kidding, I believe you weren't lying to me, Senior Brother," Xia Mi said gently. "Alright, give me the Dragon Bone Cross, Senior Brother~"
You'd be a fool to believe that!
Xia Mi was filled with doubt, feeling that Lu Mingfei was definitely hiding something.
But now that the Dragon Bone Cross is in Lu Mingfei's hands, she has to appease him first and trick him into giving her the Dragon Bone Cross.
Xia Mi would be very obedient if she didn't get to eat any meat.
