CHAPTER 1024: CHAPTER 1024: VERY BEAUTIFUL (SECOND UPDATE)

"What!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan’s eyes nearly popped out, and immediately, her face was filled with ecstatic joy!

"Did you find our mom?"

Zhang Fan nodded, then took out his phone, pulled up a picture of their mom, and handed it to Zhang Xiaoyuan!

Just like that, the two of them sat on the bench under the tree, one speaking and the other listening, recounting the many little things that happened in the year and more since their separation!

Zhang Xiaoyuan leaned on Zhang Fan’s shoulder, her eyes exuding tenderness!

"After the music festival ends, let’s go back, okay!"

Zhang Fan nodded his head, but then shook it: "No need to rush, I’ll accompany you to finish your studies here before going back!"

Initially, he planned to take Zhang Xiaoyuan back directly!

But thinking about it now, he felt a considerable guilt!

The British Royal College of Music, one of the world’s top music schools!

If they just went back like this, it wouldn’t be fair for Xiaoyuan!

Being able to study here is undoubtedly the best choice for Zhang Xiaoyuan!

She’s not like him!

Since Xiaoyuan chose the path of music, he should let her continue!

Where can the music academies back home compare with here!

Isn’t it just Yun Canghai!

At that moment, Zhang Fan clenched his fist tightly!

Someday, he would personally go over there!

Just then, Zhang Xiaoyuan said with a light laugh: "No need, Professor Anmusi has said that I’m a music prodigy. In the past year, under Professor Anmusi’s guidance, I’ve long learned three years’ worth of material!

So, there’s definitely no problem, you don’t need to worry! Besides, I haven’t been back home for over a year, and I really miss Dad and Mom!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fan couldn’t help but hold Zhang Xiaoyuan tightly.

"But even so, staying a few more years to study here will definitely enhance your skills even more! Then, as soon as you graduate, we’ll dash back home and turn into a music diva!" Zhang Fan said!

"Tch, what music diva! I play music purely because it brings me joy, and I don’t even sing! Hmm, I just want to quietly play the piano, occasionally play the saxophone or guitar!" Zhang Xiaoyuan replied.

"Ah?" Zhang Fan was taken aback.

Instantly, Zhang Xiaoyuan laughed: "What do you think! Our Royal Music Academy focuses on instrumental performance, unlike back home where the emphasis is on people. Here, the focus is on instruments.

Moreover, music and singing are two different concepts!

Music is pure music, relying on instruments to create beautiful sounds! Like Beethoven’s symphony! Do you see someone taking a microphone and singing along in such heart-stirring music?

Singing is an extension of music, integrating lyrics into music to tell a story!

And, what do people call singers? Singers!

What do people call those who play music? Musicians!

These are two different concepts!

Also, think about it, playing the piano and singing at the same time is exhausting! It’s distracting! Once distracted, things don’t go well!

On the first day of class, Professor Anmusi deeply analyzed these two different concepts of music and singing for us!"

Listening to Zhang Xiaoyuan, Zhang Fan was somewhat bewildered!

Truth be told, he hadn’t been to the music department, so how would he know what it’s really like there!

Let alone the British Royal Academy!

He had just arrived on the first day!

Seeing Zhang Fan’s expression, Zhang Xiaoyuan continued: "Look at our Huaxia ancient famous tunes! High Mountains and Flowing Water, Ten Sides Ambush!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fan suddenly woke up.

Right, in ancient times, music relied on instruments to produce sound!

Gu Zheng, music bells, Sheng, flutes!

Just listening to this sounds impressive!

"But don’t you want to be a big star playing guitar while singing, playing piano while singing?" Zhang Fan asked.

Zhang Xiaoyuan shook her head: "I don’t want to. I play music for enjoyment, not to become a public, crazy singer. Look, at the British Royal Academy, all these years, only a few people show up to sing each year.

The vast majority have their sights set on orchestras!

They hope to become great musicians like Beethoven, not big stars!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fan laughed, reaching out to pinch Zhang Xiaoyuan’s cheek: "If you think that way, I’m really happy!"

"Hehe, let’s go, I’ll show you what real music is!" Saying this, Zhang Xiaoyuan pulled Zhang Fan and set off!

"Here, put on a headscarf, don’t let anyone recognize you! Also, don’t beat people up on the school premises!" Zhang Xiaoyuan bought two scarves on the street, wrapped up Zhang Fan, and then herself tightly before heading to the school!

But as she and Zhang Fan entered the school, seeing the angry groups of students, she almost burst into laughter.

"Look at you, see how you’ve enraged these people!" Zhang Xiaoyuan whispered, hugging Zhang Fan’s arm.

"It’s not my fault! Besides, if they dare to think about you, it’s good enough I didn’t beat them up!" Zhang Fan replied in a low voice.

Looking at himself and Zhang Xiaoyuan, he couldn’t help but feel amused.

It’s like being a thief!

Hmm, quite thrilling!

"I swear, we’ll find that Huaxia kid and strip his skin!"

"Daring to steal our Yuan, I hold an irreconcilable grudge against him!"

Listening to these words, Zhang Fan felt delighted!

But now, he was more eager to see Zhang Xiaoyuan’s performance!

At the same time, he wanted to see what true music is!

Soon enough, he followed Zhang Xiaoyuan to a music room!

The room wasn’t big, but it had various instruments inside!

Especially the piano sitting in the center, catching the eye!

"Here, sit down, close your eyes!" Zhang Xiaoyuan pressed Zhang Fan onto a stool, then tiptoed toward the piano.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyuan like this, Zhang Fan almost couldn’t resist the urge to hug this cute one!

But he still obeyed Zhang Xiaoyuan!

Close your eyes!

Silent!

Silence like deathly stillness!

Seated beside the piano, Zhang Xiaoyuan extended her hand, fingers lightly caressing the piano.

But soon, she closed her eyes too!

Upon her beautiful face, a purely innocent smile surfaced.

Thirty seconds later, Zhang Xiaoyuan’s fingers moved!

Meanwhile, a wonderful sound echoed in Zhang Fan’s ears.

Very soft, like the morning rays gently peeking through the windows, falling onto the face.

Accompanied by a tender feeling that swept over the heart.

Amplifying the sensation of morning rays on the face to the utmost!

Even, Zhang Fan could hear the joy within the piano notes.

This joy was conveyed by Zhang Xiaoyuan!

Very beautiful!
