Chapter 204: Chapter 204: School Anniversary Celebration Program Chapter 204: Chapter 204: School Anniversary Celebration Program Upon hearing this, Gu Zhihan smiled, but Jiang Yibai felt somewhat dejected, “What about me?”
Luo Mengmeng apologized with a tinge of guilt, “Sorry, Jiang Yibai, I need to help Gu Zhihan, so I can’t help you. However, you should find another girl.”
Between Gu Zhihan and others, he would definitely make a decisive choice for the latter.
“Alright, alright…” Jiang Yibai was even more disheartened.
She wasn’t only going to help another boy, but she was also pushing him towards other girls.
It was really too heartbreaking.
Luo Mengmeng didn’t care what he thought; at this moment, she was eagerly asking Gu Zhihan about the performance.
“Gu Zhihan, come on, tell me, what act are you putting on?”
“Do you have a script?”
“What do I need to do? Or what role do I need to play in it?”
Luo Mengmeng was brimming with excitement, asking a flurry of questions in one go.
Gu Zhihan pursed his lips and then finally said, “Not yet…”
He finished explaining, “What performance, script, and what role you need to play, I haven’t figured it out yet…”
Luo Mengmeng was stunned, “???”
So, were you playing a trick on me?
“Then why did you say you needed my help to prepare the act?” Luo Mengmeng was now seriously doubting whether he did it on purpose.
Gu Zhihan remained unflustered, “I predict that the performance I put on will require you…”
Luo Mengmeng looked at him, speechless.
Gu Zhihan coughed lightly, already having decided on what to perform, “Luo Mengmeng, let’s do a piano duet.”
His dark eyes met hers.
“Ah?” Upon hearing this, Luo Mengmeng was a bit conflicted and spoke with embarrassment and awkwardness, “But, I don’t know how to play the piano…”
She wasn’t as all-around capable as he was.
Gu Zhihan naturally knew she didn’t know how to play, “Don’t worry, I can teach you.”
“That’s great!” Mengmeng eagerly nodded her head like a pecking chicken.
Then, Gu Zhihan took out the sheet music he used for regular practice and found a relatively simple piece to learn.
“On the day of the school celebration, we’ll perform this piece.” He pointed at the music and told her.
“Mm-hmm… okay… I’ll listen to you.”
Mengmeng didn’t understand anything anyway and just knew to keep nodding was right.
From that day on, Mengmeng would go to Gu Zhihan’s house every evening after school to practice the song with him.
Gu Zhihan taught her hand in hand, his large hand often clasped tightly with her small one, teaching her how to play the piano.
In his estimation, Luo Mengmeng would be able to learn the piece in at most a week.
He still underestimated her slowness.
Almost two weeks had passed, and she still hadn’t learned it, either striking the wrong keys or playing them erroneously.
“You played it wrong again!” Gu Zhihan raised his hand and patted her on the head, “You should have played a soft note just now, you played it loud!”
This scene was enacted 99+ times every evening.
Fortunately, the soundproofing in the detached villa area was good, otherwise, they were sure to be complained about by the neighbors.
Luo Mengmeng’s tears poured down, “Don’t be so fierce, I’m really trying very hard to learn.”
For a beginner at the piano, playing a complete piece, let alone dueting with someone, was extremely difficult.
Seeing her pitiful look, Gu Zhihan sighed, resigned to continue teaching, “If you learn it, I’ll give you a kiss.”
Upon hearing this, Mengmeng’s spirits suddenly lifted, and she hurriedly confirmed.
Gu Zhihan sat at the piano, arrogantly tilting his chin upward.
