Chapter 88

  "Xiao Fei, are you looking for me?" Ye Chenyi walked out of the classroom with a puzzled expression. I grinned at him and proudly pulled out the test paper hidden behind my back - "How's that? Am I awesome or what?" Ah, it's just that I tried a bit and achieved such great results, I'm about to be moved by myself.

  Ye Chenyi smiled as he took the test paper, using his smiling eyes to carefully examine every stroke of the pen. "I told you so," he said, "Little Fei is very smart." Although she had already forgotten whether he had said it before, being praised by him like this was really delightful!

  I raised my other hand and waved it at him: "Shouldn't this bento be the reward for that?" Haha, I'm absolutely not being sneaky, besides it's just a box of bento, and I didn't even poison it. The reward I want should be pretty simple, right?

  "Good." He smiled and took over the lunchbox, returning the scroll to me before rubbing my hair with his hand.

  This action feels so familiar and comforting...

  After the unlucky IT class in the afternoon, I dragged myself into the practice room with no energy, and collapsed onto the sofa. Ye Chenyi seemed to have arrived already, but I was really too tired at that moment. Those unlucky numbers and letters - just thinking about them made me hate them!

  "Xiao Fei, are you okay?" Ye Chenyi walked over and squatted down, covering me with a blanket. He used his cool and comfortable hand to feel my forehead, and I replied vaguely: "No fever..."

  He smiled slightly and asked, "Are you very tired?"

  I don't even have the energy to nod - God knows that one and a half hour lesson was exhausting, that damn teacher was yelling like a fly next to me, you say he's loud enough, my noise filtering system is fine, but he's using an extremely soft voice to mutter on and on, damn it, as a result, I suffered through the whole class!

  How hateful!

  "Xiao Fei, just take a rest, okay? Today is a big task after all."

  I raised an eyebrow.

  "Today it's music special training!"

  Oh, music! Is music difficult? — Music?!

  I sat up straight away, the shock I received was not ordinary at all. Who doesn't know that I, Cheng Xiaofei, am fearless of heaven and earth but most afraid of singing? To put it nicely, that's called being tone deaf; to put it harshly, it's completely off-key, running off to the northwest!

  Ah, just thinking about it gives me a headache. I remember in elementary school, there was a music exam where we sang "Ling Er Xiang Ding Dang", and I got the only failing grade in the whole class, with a score of 32... Ah, past events are unbearable to recall.

  I hesitated and looked at Ye Chenyi, asking cautiously: "Ye Chenyi, are you sure you won't give up on this subject?"

  He looked at me strangely and said displeased: "Xiao Fei, do you doubt my ability?" I scrunched up my face and said grievously: "I'm not doubting your ability, I'm doubting my own ability..."

  Ye Chenyi was taken aback, and Yu Rou smiled softly. Before he could say anything, I hastily interrupted: "Hey Ye Chenyi, has no one ever told you that you're a beauty?" Tsk tsk, so handsome. He lowered his eyes, shook his head, as if recalling some helpless matter, and smiled with unusual fondness: "Of course, yes."

  I pouted unhappily, honestly, thinking of "others" being so happy, at this moment I had already forgotten the evil deeds that made him helpless...

  "Alright alright, let's get started quickly." Cut, no courage to question you, I won't hide either?

  "Ah, Xiao Fei, how much music theory do you know?" He smiled and nodded, pulling out a book from the side - and thus began the unlucky music special training...

  Scene One

  "Xiao Fei, this is 'do', not an English word, nor a misspelled Chinese pinyin." Ye Chenyi said helplessly, rubbing his forehead. I hummed softly, what's the big deal about getting seven notes wrong?

  "Got it! - Ah! I know this one! The one with a tail is a sixteenth note!"

  I had just finished speaking when I heard Ye Chenyi let out a deep sigh and said, "Xiao Fei, remember this for now."

  "I pouted and said: 'I just can't remember anything about music.'"

  "Alright, let's continue." He loosened his tie, closed his eyes and opened them again, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. "This time it's going to be good - do, re, mi..."

  According to reliable intelligence, this battle lasted two and a half hours.

  Scene Two

  "Xiao Fei, keep a steady tone and don't turn too many corners." Perhaps due to my poor music theory knowledge, Ye Chenyi's subsequent lectures were as simple and easy to understand as possible.

  "Xiao Fei, don't change it as you like."

  "Xiao Fei, don't..."

  "Xiao Fei..."

  I'm depressed and lying on the sofa, but I have to do what Ye Chenyi said.

  In short, music special training - big failure!
