She turned, looked to her side, and saw a sluggish little boy lying on the couch.
!
Su Rans eyes beamed.
One doesnt see a boy this pretty every day. This was the second prettiest look that Su Ran had seen so far!
The prettiest one was, of course, her villain son back home. But, this little boys attractiveness was just behind that of Su Hans.
At most, there was a mothers filter at work here.
Besides, he looked to be about the same age as Su Han as well.
They were both handsome in a stuck-up way.
Unlike Su Hans difficulties around his teenage years, this little kid acted like a high and mighty nobleman.
Plus, whats that hes holding in his hand?
Advanced macroeconomics?!
Why would a 12~13-year-old child be reading a book on economics, and an advanced one to top? That was a bit much.
And, what was her son reading yesterday?
English For Seventh Grade (Book 2 of 2), Schoolwork Review, and whats the other one? Romance of The Three Kingdoms?
Ugh, she suddenly felt that her son had already lost the game at the starting point. Should she buy some books with fancy titles for him as well? Or maybe sign him up to some online courses?
For a second there, she seemed to understand the mentality of parents who sign their children up to all sorts of after-school programs.
Ahem.
Back to where she was right now.
Ah, yes. Instructor Li was tied up by some personal matters so I will be taking her place for the time being, said Su Ran as she gave him a very friendly smile.
Oh, said Song Yian casually then nothing else after that. He looked back at his book and didnt even look at Su Ran again.
Su Ran,
Yup! Definitely her Su Han was much cuter!
You see the pianos over there? Just go play on one. Dont touch the white one. You can use the black one, said Song Yian as he pointed in the direction of the pianos, seemingly used to this.
? Su Ran looked at Song Yian, baffled.
What? Didnt you hear what I just said?!
I heard you. I just didnt get what you are trying to tell me.
You mean Instructor Li didnt give you the whole story? said Song Yian as he frowned.
Tell me what?
All you need to do when you are here is to play on the piano. Just play it for two hours and go get your pay from Wu-ma. Song Yian looked at Su Ran and added, Thats what Instructor Li had been doing this whole time.
The corners of Su Rans mouth twitched after she heard that.
Oh, haha. Now she finally got why Miss [Crazy Zhou] stressed repeatedly in her text that its very easy work.
Thats the agreement between you and Instructor Li. That has nothing to do with me. Now that I am here, I want to actually teach the session, said Su Ran seriously.
Technically speaking, she didnt like to make others do what she wanted them to, but now that she was taking their pay, she felt she needed to have a certain level of professionalism.
Plus, he wanted her to perform? And two hours at that?
Young man! Did you know how much one of her performances cost? Way more than what you were paying me for a session!
Tsk. I dont need you to teach me anything, said Song Yian after casting a look of derision at Su Ran.
Is that so? Su Ran maintained her pleasant smile at Song Yian as she asked.
Deep down inside, she wasnt all that pleasant after all.
Back then, there were people whod camp outside her houses for one to two months just to get some pointers from her. And now, she was being looked down by this little kid?
If only he wasnt a minor and her paying customer, she would have faceslapped him already.
This is such a hassle! Getting the creeps from Su Rans look, Song Yian finally put down the book in his hand impatiently and walked over to the piano.
I am only going to perform one part of it. Once youve heard it, you can decide if you want to do as I say and just play for two hours and get your money or just take off. Your choice. Having said that, Song Yians fingers glided through the keys.
Reminiscences de Don Juan.
Su Ran could tell what he was going to play by the second note.
It was a very difficult piece, but he seemed to have a pretty good grasp on it.
After he was done, Song Yian stood up in front of the piano and lifted his head to look at Su Ran. His face was filled with a prideful look.
Except that he didnt see the shock or self-pity that he had expected to see on Su Ran. Quite the opposite, Su Rans solemness at the moment baffled him.
That was odd. He didnt make any mistakes that he was aware of. It was, if he must say so himself, his best performance by far. So why the look on that persons face?
Suppressing his feeling of uncertainty, Song Yian raised his brows at Su Ran and said, Well, what do you think?
