(Third Update)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the piano exuded joy, Zhang Fan was certain that if someone in a bad mood listened in such a quiet environment, they would inevitably be cheered up by this song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The melodious music flowed gracefully through the window into the distance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ending approached, Zhang Fan reluctantly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, he was really shocked at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he thought that performing on stage was all that music was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, due to this moment, he deeply understood the difference between music and singing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Music is purer! More infectious! More enjoyable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, it also has quite a few downsides!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, if it encounters the slightest noise, the feeling can be ruined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, as long as the environment isn’t too noisy, you can still sense some emotion in singing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how Zhang Fan likes extravagance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even hearing just a trace of singing can draw him in!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, singing has a more direct ability to tell a story; as long as you can hear it, you can grasp the emotions expressed in the singing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Music, however, is different!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not carefully felt, it’s easy to overlook the interwoven emotions within music!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the difference between music and singing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the door opened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the sound of the door opening in Zhang Fan’s ears was like thunder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, he saw an old man staring intently at him, and Zhang Fan was stunned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the heck, what’s with this old man’s look?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do I know him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or does he know me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That shouldn’t be possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is only my first day at the Royal Music Academy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he was certain that this was the first time he had seen this old man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this time, the voice of Zhang Xiaoyuan rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this voice, Zhang Fan was relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it turns out to be Xiaoyuan’s mentor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Zhang Fan flashed a broad smile: “Hello, Professor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anmusi carefully scrutinized Zhang Fan from head to toe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Zhang Fan, he was quite curious at heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this guy the one Zhang Xiaoyuan talks about incessantly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid, he’s really been in the military?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seems way too weak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anmusi shut the door and slowly walked towards Zhang Fan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, Zhang Xiaoyuan was like a granddaughter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhang Xiaoyuan praised this guy to the skies, he wouldn’t hand her over to Zhang Fan without seeing for himself what kind of person he is!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing this, Zhang Fan showed a lot more favorable impression just because he quietly listened to Zhang Xiaoyuan play the piano!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you like music too?” Anmusi asked quietly, standing next to Zhang Fan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan nodded and bowed to Anmusi: “You must be Professor Anmusi, right? Thank you for taking care of Xiaoyuan all this time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Music, of course, I like it! But this is also the first time I’ve come to understand music!” Zhang Fan continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Anmusi’s eyes lit up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, his gaze flashed with disbelief, “Aren’t you here for the music festival? How could this be your first understanding of music?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor, you might not know, I’m actually here mainly to visit Xiaoyuan! Also, I haven’t officially joined the music department, it’s all under Mr. He Shanyuan’s arrangements!” Zhang Fan replied truthfully!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?” Anmusi exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew who He Shanyuan was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, He Shanyuan had spent a year at the British Royal College of Music for advanced studies! Moreover, right under his mentorship!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had quite a high opinion of He Shanyuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given He Shanyuan two personal slots this time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly understood the value of these slots!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bear in mind, this slot includes exchange privileges with their British Royal College of Music!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, they can attend any professors’ classes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And perform in this music festival!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People from elsewhere would break their necks to get this opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would He Shanyuan give such a precious slot to someone who hasn’t even started?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anmusi truly couldn’t figure this out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyuan also walked over, holding Anmusi’s arm, saying: “Professor, this is Brother Fan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Fan?” Anmusi frowned?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough! Professor, my name is Zhang Fan!” Zhang Fan felt really embarrassed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can you introduce someone like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Fan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering Professor Anmusi’s age, would he really dare to call me those two words?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might just shorten his lifespan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyuan also realized her mistake and immediately lowered her head, her face reddening!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Xiaoyuan’s expression, Anmusi laughed joyfully!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he turned to Zhang Fan and asked: “How did He Shanyuan get this slot for you? He had to serve me for several hours just to get it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhang Fan was also surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s how he got it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe it’s because I have outstanding talent!” Zhang Fan said!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he knew these slots were rare, but didn’t expect He Shanyuan got them through such means!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since He Shanyuan held him in high regard, he naturally had to give him face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t have many advantages, just a quick learner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, faster than a rocket!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anmusi, hearing this, laughed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Outstanding talent? Kiddo, honestly, I’ve never seen someone boast about their own talent like this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Anmusi was somewhat displeased!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outstanding talent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you even know what outstanding talent means?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Anmusi’s smirk, Zhang Fan touched his nose and laughed: “Professor, really, I do have pretty good talent. If not for the chance to see Xiaoyuan, I wouldn’t agree to become Mr. He’s disciple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe, you don’t believe me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think I’m bluffing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, let me blow my own horn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan continued: “Professor, you don’t know!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Capital City, I have to train, paint, and study medicine, treating others, and sometimes go out on missions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where’s the time for music! Alas, even after agreeing to Mr. He, I hardly have time to study music!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Anmusi’s eyes nearly popped out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid! Daring to show off like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Training?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just with your small frame! Have you built muscles? Going on missions? Do I believe you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what’s all this about painting and medicine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These aren’t any less demanding than music! They all require a lot of time to master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a young age, aren’t you afraid of spraining yourself with such big talk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then, I’ll call He Shanyuan to find out exactly what’s going on!” Anmusi laughed, then pulled out his phone to call He Shanyuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He Shanyuan, I’m at Music Building B, Room 107! Come over, I’ve got something to ask you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Anmusi’s grin widened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kid, let’s see how you explain yourself later!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Goodnight, brothers and sisters.
