“Teacher Qin, what can I do to help?” Su Jing asked.

“A’Jing, Jiang Shao suddenly fell ill and I can’t find his accompaniment of ancient zither. Can you take his place?” “Gu Yue said bluntly.

“What song?” Su Jing asked that since he had promised to come to the ancient zither for Solo, one more accompaniment would only be a chore. However, he doesn’t know what kind of music it is. If he can’t learn it in a short time, he wouldn’t dare to do it.

“Flowing water, I taught you,” Gu Yue said.

“That’s all right. Leave it to me.” Su Jing nodded.

“Come on, I’ll take you to meet the other musicians.” Gu Yue took Su Jing to the side. The bearded fat man opened his mouth but didn’t say anything. He didn’t trust the young man very much. However, on second thought, since Gu Yue was so relieved, it should be no problem. Who can you listen to if you don’t listen to Gu Yue about ancient zither?

In a music room in a building not far away, some Lanhai Music Academy students wearing colorful performance costumes are sitting around in a group, sometimes playing with musical instruments, and some are talking. There was a hint of tension and worry in the atmosphere.

“Hasn’t Jiang Shao come yet? ” One of the girls asked anxiously.

“Jiang Shao had a bad stomach last night. He pulled all day today, so I guess he won’t be able to come.” Li Guanglei’s daughter Li Xuan who visited Su Jing’s home previously said.

How can she not be angry? At first, she wanted to so the ancient zither solo show. But later Murong Xian’er and Su Jing were coming, too. Of course, the ancient zither solo was stolen from her.  As a result, she could only fall back and ran to the ancient zither accompaniment, but the song “Flowing Water” was required for national dance. It happened to be Jiang Shao’s best song, if this song is replaced by any normal song than Li Xuan would be better, but at “Flowing Water”, Li Xuan was better than her and she was robbed of this position too. Finally, Li Xuan only got a small accompaniment to play the flute, which was out of pity as not many people could play the instrument, which she had just learned.

Unexpectedly, the show was just about to be performed and Jiang Shao had a bad stomach and couldn’t come even after grabbing her position. It isn’t that hard to take care of yourself, how could she eat everything and had a bad stomach and even causing the program to be canceled.

“Rest assured, if Jiang Shao cannot come, Teacher Qin will find someone else to replace him.” “Said a gentle boy. He looked calm and relaxed as if he were not worried at all.

“Yes, even if there is no one else, there is also Mr. Gu Yue. What are you worried about?” “Said Lin Hao’s girlfriend, Liu Yan. She is one of the main performers of this folk dance.

“Teacher Qin is here.” Suddenly, a girl said in surprise, and everyone followed her gaze and saw Gu Yue coming. They were all relieved. However, seeing Su Jing, Li Xuan and Liu Yan were all shocked.

“Hello everyone, you already know that Jiang Shao is sick and can’t come, but rest assured, I have found someone who can replace Jiang Shao. This is him. His name is Su Jing.” Gu Yue said.

“Oh.” Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded her head naturally. She had heard Su Jing’s playing and knew how unfathomable Su Jing’s level was. Su Jing can replace hundreds of Jiang Shao.

“A’Jing, you …” Liu Yan stared at him, wondering if she had mistaken him for someone else. Lin Hao has never mentioned that one of his college roommates was a master of ancient zither and would perform. There’s no reason not to tell her. But even if she did mistake him for someone else, it is impossible to admit said mistake when he came here with his girlfriend Shi Qing, right?

“Don’t be so surprised, Sister-in-law.” Su Jing smiled.

“Brother Hao didn’t tell me that you could play ancient zither and would perform.” “Liu Yan said.

“Well, they don’t know yet. I’m going to give them a surprise.” Su Jing smiled.

“That was the case.” Liu Yan suddenly realized, but she was still feeling a little strange in her heart. Su Jing’s University is not a conservatory of music. Where did he learn it from? He actually reached the level where he got recommended by Mr. Gu Yue.

“Who is he?” The other students asked Li Xuan and Liu Yan as they seemed to know each other.

“He is an ancient zither genius. You will know later when you listen to him play.” Li Xuan said that as she did not want to introduce him more, because she was jealous of Su Jing’s talent. It’s ok for her to not think about it. She asked, “But Liu Yan, how do you know him?”

“He is my boyfriend’s college roommate. A’Jing, let me introduce you. This is …” Liu Yan generously introduced Su Jing to the students.

“Why don’t we rehearse?” That urbane boy suddenly said, although this boy is recommended teacher Gu Yue and there should be no problem but if they do not rehearse together, they will not sync well in the actual show.

“Okay.” Su Jing did not refuse.

“Well, it’s okay to rehearse.” Gu Yue agreed, and sat down to listen. Shi Qing is also sitting aside as an audience, watching Su Jing quietly, without any impatience. For one thing, she has such a personality. For another, she thinks Su Jing plays the zither well. Even sitting as an audience is a kind of enjoyment.

“Let me tell you how to cooperate …” Liu Yan briefly introduced the program to Su Jing. The program is mainly about dancing. There are several dancers including Liu Yan, but this is a conservatory of music and accompaniment. Of course, it is also highly valued. There are seven or eight people in the accompaniment alone, including various instruments such as flute, ancient zither, and Pipa. Among them, the ancient zither is the main key and the most important.

After the introduction, when Liu Yan made the gesture together, Su Jing put the middle finger on the zither and then stirred the first note. The zither sounded leisurely, just like the sound of spring water in the mountains, which sounded pleasant. Almost immediately, all the worries about Su Jing vanished from everyone’s mind. Before long, others joined in one after another. The flute, Pipa and other instruments joined in one after another at the most appropriate time to form a complete and beautiful performance. After the whole performance ended, they were surprised to find that the coordination they had with Su Jing was even more perfect than they had with Jiang Shao, it felt as if they had practiced together many times. In other words, everyone followed the music of Su Jing and was driven by him.

“Pa Pa Pa Pa……” At the end of the song, people put down their instruments and clapped their hands. They have realized that this young man, who is not much older than them, has a high level of attainment. He is absolutely qualified to join them, No, it should be said that it is their honor to have him join them.

“You applaud yourself after you play, it’s not good.” Su Jing made a joke on purpose, making everyone laugh. In fact, he was not very satisfied with his playing. This zither is not easy to use. Later, he still has to take out the Moon Whisper ancient zither from the car. Only that level of zither can play his tune. (To be continued ~ ^ ~)
