Chapter 47
An Ran's expression showed reluctance, "Teacher, I don't want others to teach me."
She knew that the teacher was right. With her current piano skills, there was no teacher in Jincheng who could teach her, but she also knew that if she had to take lessons from a teacher, it would be better to follow Teacher Liang.
Because Teacher Liang really likes piano and sincerely hopes that his students will continue to improve their piano skills.
Teacher Liang put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I'm hungry. What's delicious at your house?"
"Over there, I'll take you there." An Ran pointed the direction to Teacher Liang and prepared to take her there.
As soon as the two turned around, they heard Mrs. An calling them not far away, "Teacher Liang, come over here and get off."
Teacher Liang looked at An Ran and said, "Your mother is looking for me."
"She probably wants to introduce someone to you." An Ran looked at the people around Mrs. An seriously, then whispered close to her and said, "Did you see the woman in the red skirt and the gray skirt? "
"I saw it."
"They have children in interest classes. Come on, try to get two more students."
Teacher Liang immediately smiled and gave her an OK gesture, "Then I'll go get the money first!"
"Go quickly." An Ran smiled, "I'll get you something to drink."
Teacher Liang smiled even happier, "Do you have any wine? I want to drink."
"Yes..." An Ran looked helplessly and amusedly at Teacher Liang, who liked to use "willful drinking" to flaunt herself every day, "I know, I will get it for you."
"I want something delicious." Teacher Liang added happily.
"OK, Pinot Noir!" An Ran accurately reported a red wine.
Teacher Liang blew her a kiss from the air, turned around and walked towards Mrs. An with a swaying figure.
An Ran looked at Teacher Liang's back and felt that Teacher Liang's beauty had reached a new level tonight. She was wearing a simple black skirt and high heels, which made her figure look extremely charming.
Teacher Liang always likes to wear slippers when playing the piano, whichever is more comfortable. A T-shirt and casual pants are standard. Her hair is so short that people around her often forget that she has an extremely feminine figure.
……
The meal for tonight's banquet is a Western buffet.
Colorful lights illuminated the entire banquet hall, and the food tables were filled with a variety of food and drinks, exuding tempting fragrances.
An Ran glanced at the wine table and found that there was plenty of wine on it. He glanced at Teacher Liang's side again and found that she had already chatted with the ladies in red and gray clothes, and then walked to the table where the desserts were placed. He took a small plate, picked up the tongs and got himself a piece of matcha cake.
Teacher Liang had just gone to meet her potential clients, and it was not appropriate to interrupt her conversation with them.
After taking the cake, she went to the beverage area to get herself a cup of black tea. After that, she wanted to find a place with few people to eat and get some fresh air, but when she turned around, Jane was picking up the dinner plate.
"Tonight's mutton chops have better meat quality and are suitable for eating now." She walked next to him and suggested with a smile when she saw him hesitating between steak and mutton chops.
Shi Jian immediately picked up the tongs and put a piece of mutton steak on his dinner plate. "Do you have any other delicious recommendations?"
An Ran looked at the food in front of him, "The 'fried one-night stand' in front of you is not bad either."
"Fried one-night stand?" Shi Jian carefully looked up the name of the dish An Ran reported in front of her, and then pointed to one of the pan-fried fish, "Is this what you're talking about?"
"Yes, try it, it's very fragrant." An Ran smiled.
Shi Jian happily put half a piece of fish tail on the plate and said, "I just heard your mother chatting with other people, saying that when you came back from Warsaw, you locked yourself in the room and slept with your head covered for two days. God, is it because of the pressure of the competition that you feel tired?"
"It's really tiring." Hearing Shi Jian's concern, An Ran told her some things he encountered in Warsaw, "After I participated in the competition in Warsaw and won the prize, my mother received a lot of invitations from all over the world. There are banquets held by famous artists and pianists, and they have to perform continuously after going there..."
She won the second place in the finals of the competition. During that time in Warsaw, the smile on Mrs. An's face never dropped. She also used her superb social skills to get acquainted with many internationally renowned artists in Poland.
These experiences are enough to become her dazzling talk tonight.
"Do you have to attend the banquet every night?" Shi Jian continued to ask.
"More than that, maybe two or three shows throughout the day."
That kind of scene where attending a banquet is like running for your life is really very energy-consuming for me who just came back.
"Are you feeling better after sleeping?"
"It's better." An Ran smiled, "The first thing I do when I get up after sleeping is to go for a walk in the woods on the edge of the community."
Seeing the gentle smile on An Ran's face, Shi Jian looked away uncomfortably.
He picked up the tong and pointed at the pan-fried one-night stand on the dining table and asked her, "Do you want some of this?"
"No more." An Ran shook his head, "I'm wearing a dress, so I can't eat too much. Eating too much will make me feel uncomfortable."
"You're so skinny, you shouldn't be able to hold it up." Shi Jian lowered his head and put another piece of chicken wing on his almost full plate.
He felt even more uncomfortable because his eyes had just passed over An Ran's waist.
When I entered the venue with my mother tonight, the first time I saw An Ran, I felt a different kind of beauty.
The girl wrapped in a close-fitting pink dress exuded a gentle and pure temperament under the huge crystal lamp, as if she were a delicate flower, radiant and radiant, and was the well-deserved focus of the crowd.
Beautiful and delicate, it is difficult to look away and dare not get close.
"You'll be full after eating these." An Ran didn't know what Shi Jian was thinking, and gestured for him to look at the cake on his plate and the black tea in his hand.
"Won't you feel sleepy after drinking tea at night?"
At first Shi Jian thought An Ran was holding a drink, but when she pushed the cup closer to him, she realized it was black tea.
"No." An Ran picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. "I exercised a lot during the day and didn't sleep at noon. I will sleep well at night."
"Exercise?" Shi Jian asked in confusion, "Are you going for a run again?"
"No, I went to dance."
"What dance?"
"Sir."
"Getting ready for tonight?"
"Correct."
Shi Jian nodded briefly, her concerned eyes fell on An Ran's hand, and she found a Yunnan Baiyao Band-Aid on her palm, "Does your hand still hurt?"
"pain……"
Before An Ran finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hua Zhan, who walked over deliberately, "An Ran, congratulations."
Looking at Hua Zhan, who kept approaching her, Anran took a step back, rejecting his approach written all over her body, "Thank you." Her attitude was still so cold and cold.
"Are you hungry?" Hua Zhan turned his head and his eyes fell on Shi Jian, who was holding a stack of food. "You want so much food?"
Although he asked Shi Jian with a smile, An Ran felt uncomfortable seeing his expression, "It's time for him to grow, what's wrong with eating more?"
"You think he is just a child, and he still needs to grow." Hua Zhan looked at her with a warm smile, his peach blossom eyes full of love.
However, An Ran only felt his malice toward Shi Jian, and couldn't help but want to stab him in the heart, "He is tall and grows fast, so naturally he has to eat more!"
And Hua Zhan's height will always stay at in the second year of high school. No matter what he thinks of later, he will not grow even centimeters longer.
Hua Zhan now doesn't know about such a cup.
But one thing he knows very well is that for some reason this year, his height has not grown.
If the character of Mr. Wen Run had not been firmly engraved in his soul, Hua Zhan's handsome face would have been unable to hold back his smile in response to An Ran's heartbreaking reply.
He looked at Shi Jian in front of him, who was almost five centimeters taller than him despite being fat, and suddenly felt that he was an eyesore, "Shi Jian, your mother was looking for you just now. I wonder if there is something important. Come over and see Look."
Shi Jian took the dinner plate and looked around at the crowd in the distance, and found that his mother was chatting happily with someone, so she answered Hua Zhan openly, "My mother will find me by herself if she comes to find me. She knows I'm here."
No need for you to talk.
An Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
Hearing her laughter, Hua Zhan and Shi Jian both looked at her inexplicably.
An Ran smiled and casually found an excuse to explain, "It's okay, you guys talk about your business, I just suddenly thought of a joke."
She just didn't expect that Shi Jian had a good temper but wasn't temperamental.
"What joke?" Hua Zhan asked.
An Ran was too lazy to pay attention to him, but looked at Shi Jian with a smile, "Shi Jian, you're hungry. Go find a place to eat quickly. It won't taste good if it's cold."
"You guys chat, I'll go over there!"
Shi Jian was very obedient and walked away with the dinner plate.
After he leaves.
Hua Zhan walked closer to An Ran, "You seem to have been avoiding me recently. Do you have any misunderstandings about me?"
"Stay away from me." An then took a few steps back, disgust and rejection of Hua Zhan in her eyes, "The smell of perfume on your body is terrible."
"I didn't spray the perfume, I accidentally got it on it at the venue." Hua Zhan froze in place, with embarrassment on his face, "You are really avoiding me, why?"
"Do I still need a reason to stay away from you?" An Ran looked at him and sneered, "As if we are very familiar with each other."
"Aren't we familiar with each other?" Hua Zhan's beautiful eyes showed a hurt look, "I thought I had known you for a long time?"
"We've known each other for a long time, why don't I feel anything?" An Ran leaned on the dining table with a tired look, "Besides, even if we have known each other for a long time, we may not be familiar with each other. Whether we are familiar with people or not is not determined by time alone." "
"How can we calculate it if we don't calculate it according to time?"
"Based on the distance between soul and soul."
"This is too illusory."
"If you think it's illusory, then it's illusory." An Ran drank the black tea in the cup in one gulp and said nonchalantly, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"The dance hasn't started yet, what can happen to you?" Seeing that An Ran was really not interested in him, Hua Zhan stood in front of her, "What's wrong with you? You've been angry for so long and haven't told me the truth. Between us, Is the relationship between them so unimportant? "Is there a relationship between us?"
"us……"
The girl's eyes were so cold, as if there was a layer of ice on the surface that couldn't be broken no matter how hard he knocked.
Hua Zhan suddenly discovered that he was invincible in front of girls, but vulnerable to An Ran.
During the stalemate between the two, Mrs. An's voice came.
"An Ran, you are chatting with Hua Zhan."
An Ran turned to look at her, "Mom, what do you want from me?"
"How can you eat cake?" Mrs. An walked up to An Ran, reached out to take the matcha cake from her hand before she could take a bite, and put it into the hand of the waiter next to her, "You want to be fat to death? !”
"I haven't eaten yet." An Ran explained helplessly.
"If I don't tell you, will you stop eating?" Mrs. An looked at An Ran questioningly, then turned to Hua Zhan and said, "Hua Zhan, how is your food?"
"It's ready." Facing Mrs. An, Hua Zhan raised that smiling face that everyone liked, "Thank you, Aunt An, for the hospitality."
"You are welcome to my house just as you are to yours." Mrs. An chatted with Hua Zhan for a few words, then turned to look at An Ran, "Get ready and come on stage in 5 minutes to perform the song you competed in in Warsaw."
An Ran raised her hand with a sad look on her face, "My hand is injured and I can't play the piano tonight."
Mrs. An lowered her head and said softly, "I know your hand is injured, but tonight's performance is very important to you. You are the protagonist tonight. Everyone here is here for your piano skills. You said you I can’t play, is this appropriate?”
"My hands are hurting now. If I have to go on stage, I'm worried it will affect my performance. I don't want everyone to see that I don't play well."
"Do you know how many famous people in the music industry are coming to our house tonight? There are also executives from Universal! Can you sign a good price with Universal? Your performance in 5 minutes will be very crucial. Isn't it just a broken skin on your palm? You’ve already put a band-aid on it, so what are you afraid of?”
"My hands are injured and are not flexible, so the music I play will not be up to standard."
An Ran wanted Mrs. An to see the seriousness of her forcing herself to take the stage, but Mrs. An obviously couldn't listen. "If you endure it, you will have a bright future. If you can't bear this little hardship, what can you achieve? You are a brain." Are there any pitfalls?"
An Ran felt helpless in her heart.
She lowered her head and looked at her toes in nude ballet shoes, "I really don't want to risk it."
"You coward, you don't even give it a chance, why can't you overcome it and try to play with the other hand?" Mrs. An leaned close to An Ran's ear and gritted her teeth angrily.
An Ran glanced at Hua Zhan, who was standing next to her. She knew that if he hadn't been here, Mrs. An would have spoken more harshly, "I know, I'll go on stage later."
"You come with me now." Mrs. An stared at An Ran.
An Ran turned around and walked towards the stage where the piano was placed.
Mrs. An kept her eyes on An Ran, but she never forgot to tell Hua Zhan, "You go find Jing Wan, and I'll go look at An Ran."
She saw An Ran taking a glass of red wine.
Hua Zhan also saw it, "Auntie, isn't An Ran going to perform on stage? What are you doing with the wine?"
"I'll go take a look." Mrs. An's heart started to burn. 1314 (End of this chapter)
