He played the “Maple Leaves of Xianfeng Monastery.”

There were 88 keys in the piano, while the violin only had four strings. Yet, the four strings were able to create the same tones of the piano.

The violin was challenging in its tonal accuracy. A little more or a little less force by the hand could create changes in the tone, while the piano’s keys didn’t allow such variation.

It was a good thing that Xia Yu had Cleverness.

His left hand controlled the tone on the string, while his right hand controlled the bow, managing the rhythm.

“It’s ‘Maple Leaves of Xianfeng Monastery!’” One girl was so excited she blurted out the name of the song after recognizing it.

Instead of praise, she was given a series of critical looks.

The girl calmed down and continued to listen to the performance.

Xianfeng Monastery is a well-known tourism location. It’s a monastery on top of Xianfeng Mountain.

There were giant maple trees all over the mountain. Every late fall, when the maple leaves fall, the ground would be covered with a layer of leaves so thick, it made the mountain look red.

While one climbs the Xianfeng Mountain, the sound of crispy leaves on the ground combined with the low chanting of monks, makes one feel out of this world.

The class leader thought if Xia Yu’s violin skill was half as good as his piano skill, it’d be great. He didn’t realize he would be given such a pleasant surprise.

As the last note faded and Xia Yu put down his violin and bow, the class leader clapped, followed by the sound of everyone clapping.

Even Xia Yu was a little embarrassed at this scene.

“Yu Bro, I mean, Yu Master! With you, maybe our class could win the best project award!” The class leader walked toward Xia Yu and put down his violin. “But we need to change first. Don’t worry, I already got the clothes for you.”

He took Xia Yu to a nearby classroom and handed him a paper bag.

Inside the bag was a light-weight suit.

“I’ll turn on the AC. You won’t be hot. Go ahead and change!” The class leader hurried him.

Now in a suit, Xia Yu returned to class, eliciting a series of screams.

The class leader smiled and said, “The violin master is here. Where are our waitresses and waiters? We’re open for business!”

At 9 a.m., the cultural festival began. This event wasn’t just for the students in school, outside visitors were also allowed.

The novel violin, plus Xia Yu’s handsome looks, brought the class many female audience members.

Girls from other classes, female neighbors, the cafeteria lady… everyone came by.

Xia Yu did more than play the violin. He checked out other classes’ projects with Gui Zixiao during the break. The costumed waitress and waiter coffeeshops hosted by other classes were also popular.

The rest were just haunted houses, etc.

The cultural festival seemed fun, but it was the same old thing every year, so Xia Yu wasn’t too excited.

At 3 p.m., he came to the coffee shop to play the piano.

During the rest period, the store owner sat down next to him excitedly.

“What do you want?” Xia Yu could sense the owner had something in mind.

The owner didn’t mince words, he said, “You know the violin too?”

“You went to our school?” He’d only played the violin at the cultural festival, that was the only way the owner could have found out.

“No. But Xiao Rong did, and she sent me this!” The owner put his phone in front of Xia Yu.

Xiao Rong was a waitress at the coffee shop and the college student who greeted him the first time Xia Yu came to the coffee shop.

The cell phone showed a clip of Xia Yu playing the violin.

“What are you planning?” Xia Yu asked.

“We can add a violin program.” The store owner was very enthusiastic.

Violin players were rarer than pianists, and just as high-brow, so they could attract young customers with money to spend.

“How much of a raise do I get?” Xia Yu said.

As long as the salary was good, Xia Yu didn’t mind learning some violin.

“I’ll give you 10 thousand yuan a month, same hours!” The owner gritted his teeth. Ten thousand yuan a month was as much as what the big coffee shops paid.

“Including this month?” Xia Yu asked.

“Yes!”

The two of them reached a deal. Since the owner didn’t have a violin yet, Xia Yu continued to play his piano.

After work, he bought some street food and snacks to celebrate with Youxue.

There was only 1700 yuan left on his bank card.

At night, when everything was quiet, Xia Yu thought of something.

He seemed to have disappeared on An Siyao lately.

Xu Youxiang’s crisis was so sudden that he had to deal with it first.

With some trepidation, he logged onto An Siyao’s body at midnight.

He opened his eyes to total darkness. An Siyao was already in bed.

“You’re back!” The girl’s voice came on.

“Yes.” Xia Yu waited for the girl’s questions.

“Do you want to play the piano? My clothes are over there on the shelf.” An Siyao didn’t mention how she was left alone.

Turning on the light, Xia Yu removed his nightgown for a leisure outfit. The girl didn’t ask, but he still needed to explain.

He wasn’t an irresponsible man.

“The woman I told you about had some issues. I spent the last two days dealing with it.”

An Siyao didn’t answer right away. After a few seconds, she said, “Are you sure that you still wanted to see me?”

Why would you always feel like I’d abandon you?

“Relax. I love your wonderful body.” Xia Yu teased her, trying to fluster her and make her forget her worries.

Yet, An Siyao didn’t turn mad like he thought. She simply answered, “Oh.”

“…”

She was easy to cajole.

After resolving this matter, Xia Yu asked, “Do you play the violin?”

“A little bit,” An Siyao replied.

Xia Yu’s eyes glowed at the answer. Knowing a little meant she’d have a violin here.

The owner raised his salary by 2000 yuan, yet he didn’t know any violin songs. He needed to learn. He needed a violin.

It was great that the girl had the instrument here.

With An Siyao’s direction, Xia Yu found the violin in a dresser by the terrace.

Turning on An Siyao’s notebook computer, Xia Yu found a video for the well-known violin song, “The White Wolf,” as well as its score.

He tried to learn on his own. If An Siyao only knew a little, he probably knew more than she did at this point.

He exchanged three 2x experience props with the points he had. He could use it together with the leftover 5x experience prop.

The three 2x experience doubled the experience, times three, and the 5x experience improved the efficiency by four, plus his original experience—it was like he was learning eight times as fast.

After studying the video for 10 minutes, he started playing the violin with a lot of confidence.

“You should be slower here.”

“This tone is wrong.”

“If your hand isn’t steady, you can’t play evenly.”

Hearing An Siyao’s comments, Xia Yu put down the violin. The girl was right, he had made mistakes here. Her precise comments shocked him.

“Didn’t you say you knew just a little of the violin?” he asked.

“Um, I’m not as good as my teacher.”

“…”

Xia Yu’s mind started churning.

An Siyao’s art teacher = a painter whose work sold for 5 million.

An Siyao’s violin teacher = a world-renowned violinist.

The world-renowned violinist was slightly better than An Siyao.

Based on the above, An Siyao’s violin skills must be top-ranked in District 1.

How could she say she just knew the violin a little bit?

Xia Yu’s arrogance from the praise by his classmates and the coffee shop owner deflated quickly.

“Please teach me,” he asked sincerely.

With An Siyao’s guidance, he improved quickly.

“If you’re so good with the violin, why don’t you play it anymore?” he asked.
