Chapter 271: If You Don't Mind, I Can Accompany You

Song Lujing was about to mock Mu Xi a few times, but he discovered that Mu Xi beside him had disappeared.

The brother beside him patted his chest and said, "Mu Xi ran out, running incredibly fast, it startled me."

His heart gave a thump, and he vaguely felt something was off.

Later he found out that Mu Xi had run to Lan Lin.

He pushed through the crowd, walked up behind Jiang Liangjin, without a word raised his fist and landed a solid punch on the teenager's face.

The punch was extremely strong; Jiang Liangjin was knocked sideways, staggering back two steps.

He covered his face, turned his head to look at Mu Xi, the ferocity in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of bewilderment.

The surroundings fell silent instantly; Mu Xi patted his own jacket, not glancing at Jiang Liangjin, nor at the boy curled up on the ground, knocked out.

He turned and walked toward the outside of the school.

Gu Xingnan and Yu Ci seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, rushing forward, one on each side, they grabbed Jiang Liangjin, fearing his anger hadn't subsided and he might charge again.

Afterwards, Song Lujing repeatedly pestered Mu Xi, asking why, despite not having seen each other for days, they ended up fighting Jiang Liangjin upon meeting.

At the time, Mu Xi only said, "I didn't control my strength," and then said nothing more.

Now thinking about it, it's not that simple to just say I didn't control my strength.

Song Lujing watched Mu Xi bury his head again, muttering to himself.

He must be afraid that Jiang Liangjin would hurt someone and affect his reputation.

After all, the Jiang family is prominent; if things blew up, even though it could be suppressed, it would benefit no one.

Ah, how did he not notice that this person had taken a liking to Jiang Liangjin so quickly?

What these people say is all wrong.

He sees, clearly it's a punch born of love.

Love deep, responsibility strict.

Mu Youyu awaited Mu Xi's reply, extremely satisfied, and waved her phone at Jiang Liangjin.

Jiang Liangjin praised: "Our Youbao is amazing, able to let the second brother talk to you right after school."

"Not bad." Mu Youyu replied to Mu Xi with a "well-behaved waiting" emoji.

Bai Yun happened to be holding a stack of papers as she walked into the classroom.

When she reached the two's desk, she placed the papers on the table, excitedly saying, "Xiao Yu! Next week the school is holding a campus culture festival; each class must perform a program, and the teacher told me to go on stage and casually sing a song."

"Do you play any instrument? Let's team up!"

She isn't unable to team with others, but if she could team with Mu Youyu, who would still want to team with anyone else?

She wants to astonish the whole audience with her sister.

Jiang Liangjin raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Mu Youyu, wondering which instrument she would mention.

Or follow Bai Yun in dancing.

Mu Youyu pondered a few seconds, "I can play a little piano; if you don't mind, I can accompany you."

"Of course I don't mind!" Bai Yun nodded, casually asking, "What level are you?"

She lifted her eyes, a faint smile curling her lips, her tone light: "The level praised by a world-class teacher, perhaps?"

That wasn't her bragging.

Back then, Mu Xi studied piano under the internationally renowned Mr. Tan Jingyan.

He is a master, a top pianist who has won countless international piano awards, and is also recognized by the piano world as a "soul mentor."

His standards for accepting disciples are extremely strict; over the years, he has only actively taken Mu Xi as a closed-door disciple.

When Mu Youyu was little, after finishing her drawings, bored, she loved to cling to Mu Xi.

When Mu Xi practiced piano, she would sit on the small chair beside him and listen.

Moreover, sometimes when Teacher Tan came to give lessons, seeing her listen attentively, he would occasionally offer her two pointers.

Unexpectedly, her comprehension was extremely high, her sensitivity to melody innate; in just half a year she laid an extremely solid piano foundation.

She could even play simple fragments improvised by Teacher Tan.

Mu Xi doted on her; sometimes to cheer her up, he would record his own original compositions after playing them fluently and store them in her phone.

As a result, Mu Youyu's progress grew ever greater.

Once, after listening to her play, Teacher Tan set down his tea cup and sighed to Mu Xi: "Ah Yu's musical sense is innate, just as good as yours; if properly nurtured, her future achievements might not fall short of yours."

Jiang Liangjin naturally remembers this incident.

"You call this knowing a little?!" Bai Yun exclaimed, her volume spiking instantly, the registration slip in her hand almost falling to the ground.

She leaned close to Mu Youyu, incredulous: "A world-class teacher! Which teacher is it? Isn't it the type who wins awards left and right, where a casual pointer can benefit someone immensely?"

Jiang Liangjin, listening on the side, let out a light chuckle, reached out to ruffle Mu Youyu's hair, and added: "Back then, Teacher Tan even wanted to take her as a closed-door disciple, but she herself said she only wanted to play occasionally for fun, so she declined."

Mu Youyu nodded, "Yeah, how could I handle two teachers?"

"!!!"

Bai Yun's registration slip fell to the ground; she didn't bother to pick it up, instead grabbing Mu Youyu's hand and shaking it vigorously.

"Mr. Tan Jingyan? The one acclaimed as the piano world's soul mentor, who took only a rare disciple like Mu Xi? You call this knowing a little?"

Her voice was full of shock, even tinged with a crack.

Several lazy students who usually avoid the practice building, ears perked to eavesdrop, were also stunned.

Who doesn't know how hard it is to hire Mr. Tan Jingyan? Not only is his appearance fee high, but accepting disciples also depends on fate and talent.

Over the years, countless parents from top-tier aristocratic families have brought their children, offered huge sums, and been politely turned away by him.

Even the goddess Mu has been personally invited by him to become a closed-door disciple, yet she refused?

This is practically a Versailles ceiling!

Gu Xingnan and Yu Ci, on the other hand, are used to it.

Back then, when Leng Anzhi found out about this, her reaction was even more exaggerated than Bai Yun's; she almost jumped up on the spot.

If you ask why, the only explanation is that Leng Anzhi is someone who was rejected by Tan Jingyan, while Mu Youyu is someone who rejected Tan Jingyan.

Mu Youyu was amused by Bai Yun's exaggerated reaction, she looked at Jiang Liangjin, her tone carrying a slight complaint: "A Jin, don't be so exaggerated. I can't compare to Second Brother's professionalism; I'm far worse than him."

Jiang Liangjin laughed softly: "Where are you lacking? Back then, Teacher Tan said you just needed a bit more practice."

He still remembered; back then, Teacher Lin was terrified that his only prized disciple would go study piano and no longer love art.

He forcibly dragged Youbao away to hide from Teacher Tan for a while.

Now thinking about it, it's actually quite interesting.

Bai Yun was so excited she became incoherent, she grabbed Mu Youyu's hand and shook it vigorously: "Xiao Yu, my good sister, it's settled then."

"You play piano accompaniment, I sing, and we'll win first place!"

The Mu family really doesn't raise useless people.

"Xiao Yu is already great at drawing, and she can also play a few instruments."

Mu Youyu: "Okay."

Jiang Liangjin glanced at Bai Yun: "Don't shake it."

Bai Yun obediently put her hand down, eager to fill in both names: "What piece should we pick? How about Teacher Tan's representative work? It'll surely stun the whole audience!"
