Ch 19: I Have A Rudimentary Understanding!

There is positive emotion.

There is also negative emotion.

This music, so fast it makes one’s heart race, blood boils.

That surge.

That tension.

There is a part positive, and also a part negative.

“Xiao Cao, which school did you graduate from? Who was your teacher?” the Old Lady got straight to the point.

She heard it.

Naturally, she felt that a child with this level of strength could never have been taught by an ordinary teacher.

Nor would it be an ordinary school.

It’s just that,

the Old Lady carefully recalled, trying hard to remember, she really couldn’t recall any child surnamed Cao.

Logically, it shouldn’t be.

Although there are millions of children in China learning piano, the top circle is so small.

If there were a young person of this level, she should at least have heard of them.

She is retired.

But not dead!

Unfortunately,

in the few seconds she went upstairs, she searched countless memories, unable to think of a single one.

The most terrifying thing is that the Old Lady couldn’t even remember which piece this was from.

Could it be original?

This talent is too outrageous, right?

The Old Lady hadn’t taken on a student in many years, she was moved, even a little nervous, feeling that she might not be able to take on such a student.

The distance was too far just now, she didn’t hear it very clearly, many details she didn’t hear.

But even so,

she also felt that this child’s strength was far stronger than Lingling and Yuege.

They’re not on the same level at all.

Or only myself…no, only myself at my best, perhaps I could compare.

I can’t do it now.

Just that speed alone makes me want to give up.

…

“I’m not from a professional music academy, nor did I have a professional teacher, I used to…studied at a children’s palace, and later I practiced by myself.” Cao Cheng casually found an excuse.

Some things cannot be explained too much.

The teaching environment is really important.

It’s not something you can learn just by saying you’re self-taught.

Especially in this era, there aren’t many online tutorials, unlike the next few decades, when many masters started having online courses.

Those are real masters.

Today’s masters are all hiding!

“This, this is impossible.” The Old Lady was stunned.

Sure enough,

Cao Cheng chuckled: “Actually, it’s not quite self-taught, when I grew up I met an Old Man, he taught me for a while, but I don’t know his name, his temper was very irritable, he just liked to smoke and drink, always drunk…”

Barely an excuse.

The Old Lady suddenly understood.

Her mind began to storm again, thinking about who this Old Man was.

The Old Man…should be in his sixties.

Who could it be?

There are quite a few who fit the age, and some who have a strange temper.

“Stinky Younger Brother…you, you…”

Ren Yuege seemed to have finally come to her senses at this moment: “You’re actually, so amazing?”

“Low-key, low-key.” Cao Cheng pressed down his hand.

All sorts of emotions, every few seconds, would pop out a little.

The Old Lady said: “Can you play it again?”

“Uh, alright.”

Cao Cheng slowed down this time.

A minute and a half later, the Old Lady slowly opened her eyes, a touch of dismay, sure enough, this child’s hard strength was ridiculously strong, steady as a rock.

It’s not someone she could take on as a student.

Even at her best, she couldn’t compare.

This piece is still original!

“Are you interested in coming to the Music Academy for further studies?” The Old Lady invited.

Then she said repeatedly: “Your basic skills have no problems, your strength is also worthy of entering the hall, further studies is just a name, you can get the school’s resources, and it’s easier to go international.”

Ren Yuege listened very attentively this time.

Only then did she understand how strong her Stinky Younger Brother was.

“Stinky Younger Brother, don’t you thank the Teacher?” Ren Yuege said somewhat urgently.

Cao Cheng shook his head: “Thank you for your kindness, Teacher, but my ambition doesn’t lie here.”

“…” The Old Lady sighed.

Ren Yuege was anxious: “Stinky Younger Brother, you…”

Although the Teacher didn’t say much, and didn’t give much of a commitment, she knew how good this opportunity was.

It’s possible to enter the hall.

In the future, at worst, he’ll be a globally renowned piano master.

Plus, if it’s original, after he dies, his name will be remembered in history, alongside various ancient gods.

“If,”

“you change your mind anytime, come find me.” The Old Lady recovered her emotions quickly, after a moment of disappointment, she became kind again.

“Okay, Teacher.” Cao Cheng was unusually serious, nodding.

After all, after the refusal, the Old Lady probably got a Critical Hit.

It seems she was really disappointed.

…

The Old Lady left to cook.

Ren Yuege gritted her teeth, reached out and twisted Cao Cheng’s ear: “Stinky Younger Brother, do you know how rare this opportunity is?”

“Do you know how lazy I am?” Cao Cheng impatiently slapped away her hand.

“…”

Ren Yuege was even angrier: “Is it because you’re lazy? So you say your ambition doesn’t lie here? You’re wasting your talent.”

“You don’t understand anything.”

Cao Cheng shook his head.

He probably also understood that the opportunity wasn’t easy, but he had too much talent.

His greatest talent was collecting negative emotions.

As long as this path continues, he will learn too many things in the future.

There’s no need to just walk one path.

Lingling hadn’t spoken, but her eyes on Cao Cheng became strange.

So strong!

The room was somewhat silent.

Negative emotions were still floating, occasionally flashing a few positive emotions.

This round was a harvest.

Cao Cheng was also happy to be idle: “You guys play, I’ll go downstairs to help the Teacher prepare the dishes.”

After Cao Cheng left.

Ren Yuege sat on the piano stool angrily.

“This stinky Younger Brother, is too lazy.”

Lingling whispered: “Senior Sister, can you ask this Brother to write me a piece?”

Ren Yuege was surprised.

Lingling said: “I want to learn that piece just now.”

Ren Yuege sighed: “I’ll ask him later, I’m upset right now.”

Lingling chuckled: “Everyone has their own choices, his ambition doesn’t lie here, but Senior Sister can learn the Brother’s skills, and can also ask him for some original pieces, so many!”

Ren Yuege was startled.

Then her eyes lit up.

“Right!”

“You reminded me.”

“This stinky Younger Brother won’t get to be lazy, I’ll make him write me original piano pieces every day.”

Ren Yuege got up: “Alright, let’s negotiate.”

Lingling was surprised: “Do we need to negotiate?”

Ren Yuege nodded: “Of course, you don’t know how annoying he is, and also lazy, after he graduated from university he didn’t go to work, he played chess with a bunch of Old Men in the square every day, occasionally went to the Mahjong Parlor to play cards with Aunties, he just didn’t go to make money.”

“And he likes to annoy me.”

“This stinky Younger Brother, if he knows I want original pieces, he’ll definitely put forward some annoying conditions.”

Lingling became even more curious.

If she had heard these words before, she might have thought, like her “Second Sister”, that this guy was a good-for-nothing, a street loafer.

But after seeing his level, although she didn’t know what level it was, it was definitely much stronger than hers.

So the first impression is fixed.

Looking at the things Cao Cheng did, she didn’t think he was a good-for-nothing, but rather…interesting!

He’s really a Brother with personality.

After the two went downstairs.

They heard the conversation from the kitchen.

The Old Lady was surprised: “I didn’t expect you could cook? Your knife skills are not simple!”

Cao Cheng humbly said: “Rudimentary Understanding! But, my ambition doesn’t lie here!”

The Old Lady: “…”

Lingling: “…”

That sounds familiar!

“…” But Ren Yuege’s face darkened.

He can actually cook?

At noon, the dog said he couldn’t cook?

No.

Ren Yuege remembered that she had also said it.

At noon, the dog was lying!
