Chapter Ninety Changes

  Li Luyu hadn't lain down and listened to Li Banyu talk in a long time.

  This long conversation lasted all night, and Li Banzhu told Li Luyu that after Li Luyu pretended to have a stomachache and brought An Zhiwen to the upstairs during the day, An Nanxiu did play a short segment of Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto. An Nanxiu's playing style hid an extremely strange melody in the sound of the piano, giving her a very weird feeling.

  Generally, music is perceived differently by different audiences, and the sound itself does not have emotions such as sadness, joy, or excitement. However, it can evoke these emotions in people, which is why we describe music as sad, joyful, etc.

  An Nanxiu's music is different, the music she plays carries a specific emotion, as if the music has carried her emotions and conveyed them directly to the audience.

  Some people feel happy when they hear sad music when they are in a good mood, while others feel melancholic when listening to cheerful children's songs when they are feeling down.

  An Nanxiu's zither sound is absolutely not, her zither sound and her personality are equally strong, able to directly control the audience's emotions, perception, forming a specific reaction in people's minds. Li Banyan feels that no matter who goes to listen, with what kind of mood, will get the same feeling.

  Li Bancheng felt extremely shocked, she didn't expect An Nanxiu to have such skills. Li Bancheng thought that her understanding of music was too superficial, and the piano was not as simple as she had imagined.

  Annan Xiu started playing Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto, but the melody that followed was no longer it. Li Banzhen looked at her fingers and felt dizzy, Annan Xiu seemed to be playing a piece with a difficulty far exceeding Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto.

  The melody that followed was very short, but what Li Banzhuang could feel seemed to far exceed Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto.

  "Brother, since An Zhi Shui said that Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto is extremely difficult, I think that since I've already mastered it, there's no need for me to enter the piano department at Zhonghai Music Academy. I want to enter the composition department, I want to learn songs like Annan Xiu's, she really surprises people." Li Ban Xuan yawned and looked out the window at the morning light, "I'm hesitating, between Annan Xiu and An Zhi Shui, which one is more suitable for my brother?"

  Li Luyu no longer minded Li Banyu's nonsense behind him, he understood that when An Nanxiu played the piano, she must have used her divine singing skills. The incantation of the divine technique is not only limited to chanting, but can also be expressed through musical instruments. The essence of music is just different vibrations producing sound waves that stimulate the nerves on the eardrum. For An Nanxiu, who could chant seven or eight different divine techniques in different languages at the same time, composing new songs according to her own will was simply a trivial matter.

  Is it really hard to imagine that the difficulty far surpasses Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto? Of course it is.

  It is also unbelievable for one person to form a small chorus and sing 7 or 8 songs at the same time.

  Li Luyu could only bitterly smile, Li Banzhuang had actually set his sights on An Nanxiu's abilities. Although he would be proud of his own sister, he didn't blindly think that Li Banzhuang could surpass the limitations of human beings and become a heavenly cloud realm plant person to learn about divine techniques.

  Moreover, even among the Tianyun Divine Realm experts, no one dares to aspire to be on par with Annan Xiu, the youngest Grand Sage in history, who has been considered the most promising candidate to become a new deity for thousands of years.

  But Li Banyao finally stopped circling around him and expressed his own thoughts. Li Luyu couldn't bear to discourage him, so he carefully said: "Let's start with the basics of composition, take it slow, even if we can't reach An Nanxiu's level for a long time, don't worry."

  "I know that the gap between people is very large. Just like An Zhishui may practice for over a decade and still not play Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto well, but I can learn it quickly. Maybe I also need over a decade or even forever to catch up with Annan Xiu, and it's not strange that I'm not at her level.

  Many people like to compare themselves with others they know, especially those around them, and engage in cutthroat competition. Li Banzhen doesn't have this bad habit."

  Li Luyu felt relieved, as long as his sister thought this way, it was fine. At worst, when she realized she could never catch up with An Nanxiu and started to despair, he would tell her the truth. But by then, his sister would have already achieved great success in the music world, which Li Luyu firmly believed.

  The sky brightened, and the siblings finally came to an agreement. After Li Banzhou returned to school, she planned to sign up for the exam. An Zhishui had promised to help her get in touch with Professor Li Yingzhen of the Central Conservatory of Music. The professional exam after the New Year should be no problem, after all, the composition department also requires a piano test, and the cultural course exam was even less stressful for Li Banzhou.

  "Brother, in the future you'll have a sister who's a musician, aren't you especially proud?" Li Bànzhōu finished yawning and was still full of energy, but her body was lazy and didn't want to move, because the warm bed in the morning was the most comfortable. Most people wanted to sleep in, let alone being in her brother's arms.

  "Just a little, at that time I was already successful and finally got rid of the burden." Li Luyu smiled, although it's early, but eventually there will be such a day when her own wings can no longer protect her, she needs to fly in a wider sky.

  Disappointment is always inevitable, I don't know how to adjust my mood.

  "Don't even think about it, I want to drag you down for the rest of your life, don't dare to shake me off." Li Banzhen hugged her brother tightly again.

  In this way, Li Luyu loved to listen, but still very seriously didn't speak up, secretly rejoicing in her heart, ah, what a hypocrite.

  "Get up." Li was vigorous and it was early in the morning, so his reaction was inevitable. His chest was pressed against hers, which was hot and swollen, but he didn't feel any excitement or pleasure, just a strong sense of discomfort all over his body, making him want to get her out of bed as soon as possible.

  "No, I didn't sleep at all last night. Who let you hold me and talk to me for a whole evening?" Li Banzhuang simply did not want to move.

  "It's obviously you..." Li Luyu didn't bother arguing with her anymore, it was pointless to argue with a girl, wasn't Annanxiu just being unreasonable? Thinking of Annanxiu, Li Luyu couldn't help but feel a bit tense. "Get up quickly, you scared Annanxiu to death last night."

  "How did I offend her?" Li Banzhen was puzzled, raised her head, let go of her brother's arm that had been pinched for a night, and also tidied up her scattered long hair.

  Li Rouyou told Annanxiu about forbidding other girls from kissing him.

  Li Banxian couldn't help but burst out laughing, and had no intention of getting out of bed. She even thought about waiting for Ahnanshu to get up and give her a kiss on the cheek to show off to her brother.

  Li Banzhuan turned over, habitually lifting her leg to put it on him, but suddenly stopped, a layer of red rising to her cheeks, she lifted the quilt and ran into the room, closing the door heavily.

  Li Rou felt embarrassed, of course she knew what her leg had touched, but thinking about it was good, she finally knew that as a younger sister, she couldn't be so clingy with her older brother anymore, and presumably wouldn't do anything like getting into bed with him again.

  As for whether this small matter will affect the brother and sister's relationship, Li Luyu doesn't need to consider it at all. How could that be? Relatives living together will always encounter such embarrassing things.

  Li Luyu got out of bed nonchalantly and started preparing breakfast. After a while, Li Banzhen came out, her face flushing at the sight of Li Luyu at first, but soon returned to normal, still being affectionate with her brother, making Li Luyu feel helpless. However, if they didn't even have their usual hugs anymore, Li Luyu would be very disappointed. But he believed that Li Banzhen wouldn't do anything like climbing into bed again.

  It's just that kind of thing, happening over and over again, and it shows that little sister is growing up gradually.

  Li Luoyu made breakfast and went to wake up Annan to eat.

  It is said that Li Luyu and Li Banyu are going to find An Zhi Shui, but An Nanxiu thought for half a day and decided not to go. Li Luyu reapplied for a QQ number and let her play the scoring version of Dou Di Zhu, I guess she can play for a long time.

  Li Luyu and Li Banyan made an appointment with An Zhi Shui in the morning. An Zhi Shui was more excited about Li Banyan changing her mind than the two siblings, but Professor Li Yingzhen had gone to Austria for a concert and would not return until after some time had passed. An Zhi Shui called her on the phone, and although Professor Li Yingzhen did not quite believe that a third-year high school girl could play Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto to the level An Zhi Shui described, she still agreed to contact and meet up as soon as she returned to China.

  If they can meet, it means that Li Banzhu will definitely play the piano, and this thing will be without suspense. Although Li Luyu doesn't understand piano music, An Zhishui's appreciation is enough. She can guarantee this, probably to deal with Li Yingzhen there won't be a problem.

  Winter has arrived, the weather is getting colder and Li Luyu's head has grown a thin layer of hair. He is still wearing his wig, just like a hat, and taking it off would make him feel cold.

  "Li Luyu, for this year's Winter Sports Meet, which events are you planning to sign up for?" Just then, Li Luyu was discussing with a few people from Madrid about betting on a meal, when An Zhi Shui walked over.

  Anqi has learned to be smart, in class meetings, actively signing up is definitely not a few people who give her face, it's better to find classmates who participated in the sports meeting last year and do the work one by one, which is more efficient.

  She first looked for Li Luyou, wanting a good start. If someone took the lead, it would definitely be easier afterwards.

  "An Zhishui, your heart is not dead yet." Sun Yangqing said in a low voice, An Zhishui stood some distance away, keeping his distance and couldn't hear what he was saying.

  "Take a look at which project no one has signed up for, and just put me down for it." Li Rouyou didn't mind putting in extra effort for the sports meet, because even the daunting 5,000 meters was nothing more than a drizzle to him.

  "Li Luyu, thank you." An Zhi was very happy.

  "It's okay, just let me know after the project is confirmed and I'll practice in advance." Li Luoyu had a very serious attitude, he wanted to practice in advance just to confirm what level would not be too eye-catching, anyway it was a school competition, no one would analyze the video, even if it was a 100-meter dash, he could look at the speed of the people next to him and run slightly faster or slower.

  If the Olympics were like this, it wouldn't work. The Olympic video would have experts analyzing the athletes' facial expressions, muscle shapes, past videos, and starting states to determine whether they are holding back or giving their all. If Li Rouyou were to participate in the Olympics, people would definitely find problems with her.

  "You're crazy! 5,000 meters must be what you ran!" An Zhi Shui walked away, and Liu Zi Yue burst out laughing on the side.

  "Don't you think it's strange? An Zhi Shui just said thank you, did you hear that?" Qin Nan said in disbelief.

  "Isn't saying thank you very normal?" Li Luyu was puzzled.

  "She should say, Li Luyou, this is a great opportunity for you to win honor for the class, don't let me and your classmates down. In short, it's an honor for you to run." Ma Dexi Anzhi spoke in a nasal tone that sent chills down people's spines.

  When Madrid said this, everyone was a bit surprised, and An Zhi Shui seemed to have changed.

  "She didn't deduct your points last time, and An Zhi Shui is actually not bad." Li Luoyu took the opportunity to help An Zhi Shui turn around his image in the eyes of their friends.

  "Are you out of your mind?"

  He must be out of his mind! Among the few people, Li Rouyou was the one who got into trouble with An Zhihui the most, yet he said that An Zhihui is a good person. Isn't he crazy?

  Li Luyu sighed, Rome wasn't built in a day, and it's not easy to finish reading the primary school textbooks of An Zhishui, nor is it easy to shake off the nickname of class leader.

  "Go play ball." Ma De said excitedly.

  "Are you playing ball?" Li Luyu was very suspicious. "Is it that street basketball or some new competitive online game?"

  "Let's go play basketball at school." Qin Nan pulled Li Ruyu, "Madrid has taken a liking to a beautiful water seller and now drags us to play basketball every day."

  It's very common to sell water on the university basketball court, with both men and women doing it, but generally more women. Once there are pretty girls selling water, the boys basically have no business. Now it's basically all girls. In summer, business is not bad, as many people play ball and cold mineral water can be sold out quickly. However, in winter, business is relatively much worse, with very few people selling.

  "We have to go and take a look." Li Lu was suddenly filled with spirit and immediately jumped out.
