Chapter 061
“You’ve been in a daze for five minutes.” Yan Jin poked Yu Shu, “Is this matter really that hard for you to accept? It’s not like everyone around you has to be good at singing and dancing, right?”
Yu Shu was a bit dazed, “I just didn’t expect that you would be tone-deaf and stiff.”
“Don’t blindly worship me.” Yan Jin’s forehead creased, “I’m human, I also have things I’m not good at.”
Yu Shu: “But you’re Yan Jin, how could there be anything you don’t understand or can’t do?”
“…I advise you not to raise a flag for me in advance.” Yan Jin patted Yu Shu’s shoulder, “Otherwise, when you teach me to play the zither later, you’ll be driven to tears by me.”
[No way, just how weak are these two aspects for Yan Jin that she even warned Yu Shu in advance.] [Don’t worry, no matter how weak, Yu Shu, the youngest Golden Melody Award winner in history, will be able to correct her successfully!] […The one in front, I was Yan Jin’s elementary school classmate. She really can’t sing or dance. Back then, the music teacher tried to correct her pronunciation and ended up crying from frustration.]Seeing the seven-string zither Yan Jin brought out, Yu Shu’s brow twitched. She subconsciously wanted to laugh but suppressed it firmly.
Yu Shu looked at Yan Jin with a slightly subtle gaze, “The music classes we had in school didn’t use a seven-string zither for accompaniment, right?”
Yan Jin was surprised and looked up at Yu Shu, “You can’t play it?”
“Why are you so sure I can?” Yu Shu pressed her brow, “The popularity of the seven-string zither in our country isn’t as high as the piano. There have never been that many people learning the seven-string zither. You should know this.”
“You really can’t play it?” Yan Jin didn’t believe it, “Aren’t you good at all instruments?”
“Don’t blindly worship me.” Yu Shu laughed, “I’m human, I also have things I’m not good at.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Shu realized this was what Yan Jin had just said. The laughter in her eyes became even more evident.
Yan Jin also remembered that she had just said the exact same thing. She exchanged a glance with Yu Shu and also laughed, “You may have things you’re not good at, but there’s definitely nothing you’re not good at when it comes to music.”
“You have such confidence in me?” The smile at the corner of Yu Shu’s lips deepened.
“Mainly because I saw you accompany Xu Junde before.” Yan Jin said frankly: “I was curious and took a glance. You were using a seven-string zither to accompany him at that time, so I know you can play it.”
Yu Shu: “…I thought you really had such confidence in me.”
“If I didn’t have confidence in you, I wouldn’t have asked you to teach me to play the zither.” Yan Jin softened her tone, knowing that Yu Shu wanted her to praise her, “Otherwise, there are teachers at the academy. I could’ve just learned directly from them. Why would I come to you? Naturally, it’s because I think you’re talented and outstanding. Learning from you will definitely be faster.”
Yu Shu secretly suppressed the corners of her mouth that couldn’t help but curl up, but under Yan Jin’s sincere gaze, she broke character and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Yan Jin.” Yu Shu pretended to complain, “You just like to say nice things to coax me.”
Seeing the pair of dimples appear at the corners of Yu Shu’s mouth, Yan Jin’s hands itched a bit, but she still endured it, “If hearing it makes you happy, then they’re not just nice words, but the truth.”
[I know how Yan Jin will express her love in the future, “If hearing it makes you happy, then they’re not love words, but the truth.”] [The one in front, I’m dying of laughter. Yan Jin is speaking in her commanding tone.]Although Yan Jin gave a warning, Yu Shu felt that with Yan Jin’s learning ability, even if her musical talent was lacking, it wouldn’t be that bad.
Yu Shu first taught Yan Jin the fingering techniques hand in hand. After teaching the basic fingering, seeing that Yan Jin’s learning progress was okay, she taught her a simple piece.
After finishing teaching the piece, Yu Shu reluctantly let go of Yan Jin’s hand. Suppressing the flush on her face from teaching Yan Jin at an extremely close distance just now, she asked Yan Jin, “Got it?”
Yan Jin nodded confidently, then started playing. It was unbearable.
The flush on Yu Shu’s face faded a bit. She even suspected that she had taught it wrong just now, misleading her student.
Yu Shu taught Yan Jin the piece again and asked her once more, “Got it?”
This time Yan Jin hesitated for a bit, but eventually still nodded. Then she started playing again. It was ear-piercing.
The flush on Yu Shu’s face faded further. She looked at Yan Jin carefully several times as if seeing her for the first time.
But Yu Shu still patiently taught Yan Jin again. She asked Yan Jin once more, “Got it?”
This time, Yan Jin was unusually hesitant, “I don’t think I got it.”
Yu Shu comforted her, “How can you give up so quickly before even starting to play?”
