Ch 17: It’s Not Appropriate For Me To Come Forward, Is It?

“I’ll accompany you to see my teacher later.”

“Why should I accompany you? I don’t know your teacher.”

“But you’re my younger brother.”

“So?”

“So I need to introduce you to the teacher. The teacher is like family to me.”

“……”

As Ren Yuege explained, Cao Cheng roughly understood the concept of this “teacher,” different from the teachers he had in mind.

Not just the kind from school.

But a teacher he had been apprenticed to since childhood, for twenty years.

The old lady was once a professor and dean at the Beijing Music Academy, a master of instrumental performance.

Now the old lady is retired, although she still holds a re-hired professor position, occasionally going to Beijing to teach at various music academies.

But usually she’s in Sanjiang City.

This is the old lady’s hometown.

Of course,

Cao Cheng didn’t care much about this teacher; he was more concerned about whether Aunt Wang would be at the entrance of the residential area when he went out later.

That’s the key.

Unfortunately…

It was too hot when he went out, the sun hadn’t set, and the residential area intelligence group wasn’t working.

The intelligence group only works in the morning and evening.

It’s only two in the afternoon now, the hottest time of day!

Unable to see Aunt Wang,

Cao Cheng was extremely disappointed.

He unconsciously turned his gaze back to his Fourth Sister’s teacher.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Cao Cheng looked interested: “So… your teacher is very famous in the industry?”

“Of course!”

Ren Yuege said as she drove: “Stinky Younger Brother, you’re not an insider, of course you wouldn’t understand. My teacher has a high seniority, high qualifications, and extremely strong skills. Domestic and international instruments are at her fingertips. Do you play music?”

“I don’t.”

Cao Cheng shook his head.

But he was also a little surprised.

He had just drawn a Piano Grandmaster.

Sure enough,

I am the Son of Fortune, and I can show off again.

But I can’t pretend, because the piano is something that brings people joy.

Cao Cheng couldn’t imagine how intoxicating the music played with his Grandmaster-level piano skills would be.

There should be a lot of Positive Emotion feedback.

But,

Positive Emotion is clearly not as much as Negative Emotion.

This is a bit difficult.

However,

Fourth Sister’s teacher is famous in the industry and has a high enough status. The feedback emotion shouldn’t be too little, right?

The only thing to worry about is whether it will anger the old lady to death?

“How old is your teacher?”

“A little over seventy.”

Ren Yuege said: “Don’t look at my teacher’s age, but her level is still top-tier.”

Cao Cheng asked: “Is she in good health?”

“Of course.” Ren Yuege nodded, then frowned slightly, looking suspiciously at Cao Cheng: “No, Stinky Younger Brother, what do you mean?”

“Nothing, I’m just simply concerned about the elderly. After all, she’s your teacher, and also kind of my teacher, so is there a problem with showing some concern?” Cao Cheng still looked sincere.

But Ren Yuege became vigilant.

This Stinky Younger Brother is mischievous!

Especially this innocent, simple, and naive look, he must be up to no good.

Ren Yuege’s judgment of people is very accurate.

At home, Ren Yuege is a bit of a little black belly, but these past two days in Sanjiang, she has suffered quite a bit at the hands of Cao Cheng.

……

As they spoke.

The car drove into an old residential area.

It was also a workplace residential area.

The old lady lives in her family’s old house, a two-story house with a courtyard. There’s a grape arbor in the courtyard, with bunches of grapes hanging from it, about to ripen.

Under the grape arbor are various old-fashioned large water jars with some fish in them.

Small vegetables are planted in the courtyard, and the fragrance of scallions fills the courtyard.

Everything seems so peaceful and beautiful.

It can be seen that the old lady is a person who likes quietness.

Cao Cheng observed the surroundings and thought: I’ve arrived, so it won’t be quiet anymore, will it?

The two of them carried many things.

Some were brought by Ren Yuege from Zhonghai, and some were bought just now. They were all nutritional products and various high-grade herbal medicines.

“Teacher, I’ve come to see you!”

The courtyard gate wasn’t closed, so the old lady didn’t know about the visitors.

Until, Ren Yuege spoke.

Only then did a kind voice come from inside.

“Yuege is here!”

An old lady with white hair, wearing ordinary clothing, came out of the kitchen, looking very kind.

This older woman…

Cao Cheng was also observing. It must be said that this older woman must have been a stunning beauty when she was young.

Even now, she is a beauty that time cannot defeat!

What we see now is temperament and cultivation, and bone structure, not simply skin and flesh.

“Teacher!”

“Oh~~ Why bring so many things.” The old lady smiled, then looked at Cao Cheng.

Ren Yuege introduced: “Teacher, this is my younger brother.”

“Do you have a younger brother?” The old lady was surprised: “Could it be that the teacher is old and forgot something?”

“No, Teacher, you’re not old at all.” Ren Yuege chuckled: “It’s my mother’s remarriage.”

There’s no need to be explicit.

The old lady immediately understood and laughed: “Then it’s exactly what you wanted, isn’t it? Haven’t you always wanted a younger brother?”

“I didn’t.” Ren Yuege glanced at Cao Cheng: “I wanted an obedient one, this Stinky Younger Brother is very bad.”

“……”

Cao Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth: “No, shouldn’t you say this kind of thing behind people’s backs? Saying it to their face, isn’t that a little inappropriate?”

The old lady laughed.

Ren Yuege snorted: “You’re a Stinky Younger Brother anyway, so I said it to your face. What’s inappropriate?”

Cao Cheng shook his head speechlessly.

The old lady could tell that her disciple was dismissive on the surface, but in fact, their relationship was quite good, otherwise she wouldn’t do this.

“Young man, you’re very spirited.”

“Thank you, Teacher. My name is Cao Cheng.”

The old lady smiled: “Have a seat, have a seat, don’t be polite… just consider it your own home!”

As she spoke, the old lady looked at Ren Yuege: “Knowing you were coming today, Teacher specially prepared some dishes. We’ll eat at home tonight.”

“Okay, Teacher.” Ren Yuege didn’t hesitate.

At this time.

Footsteps came from upstairs.

“Senior Sister Yuege!”

Looking up, a girl in a white long dress, wearing slippers, ran downstairs in small quick steps.

“Lingling is home too.” Ren Yuege looked surprised.

Lingling said: “Grandma said you were coming today, so I didn’t go out today, hehehehe…”

The two began chatting incessantly.

Cao Cheng felt like an outsider at this moment. I should have known better than to come.

However,

Since I’ve come… wait, that’s not how it’s said.

A Son of Fortune should say, “Since I’ve come, I’ll make the best of it?”

Thinking about how to get some Emotion Value is the priority.

Although Cao Cheng really wanted Emotion Value, he wasn’t devoid of emotional intelligence. The current environment is very warm, and no villain has jumped out to taunt him.

Young Master Cao would naturally not go crazy and intentionally offend people.

How much Emotion Value he can get, we don’t know, but it will definitely make everyone embarrassed.

It’s still the same thing.

The price is too low, there’s no need to go crazy.

If I could get 10,000 Emotion Value at once, Young Master Cao would even poop on the spot.

I don’t care if you’re embarrassed or not.

At worst, I’ll apologize and pick it up!

Cao Cheng was pondering.

Ren Yuege patted Cao Cheng: “What are you spacing out for? Come on, upstairs.”

“Huh?”

Cao Cheng looked at Lingling, then at Ren Yuege: “You and your best friend are talking privately. It’s not appropriate for me to come up, is it?”

“What are you thinking? I’ll let you see my level.”

“What level?”

“Piano!”

(°Д°)：Isn’t this walking right into the line of fire?

“Ouch!”
