Chapter 672: Chapter 701: One-Minute Waltz
“Ever since Yilan returned ho, we haven’t visited her, which really shouldn’t be the case!”
“Exactly, exactly!”
“How can you all be blad? It’s difficult to go out in the first place, and we were also afraid of making Yilan feel awkward.” Sheng Ning understood the inner feelings of those whose appearances had been altered, fearing to et their old friends and preferring to hide in dark corners. They didn’t visit her because they didn’t want to disturb her, giving her ti to psychologically heal, hoping she would soon erge from the gloom.
Lu Dabao’s leg injury hadn’t healed and was rejected, Wu Youli’s drama club training tasks were also very heavy, and asking for leave from the instructor not only failed but also resulted in a scolding. In the end, only Sheng Ning went to Liu Yilan’s ho, riding in the group’s vehicle. When passing through the downtown area, Sheng Ning specifically went to the agricultural market to buy fresh fruits, canned goods, and so nutritional products.
As a good friend visiting for the first ti, it would be too impolite to co empty-handed.
The driver drove for an hour before reaching Liu Yilan’s ho. After getting out of the car, Sheng Ning looked at the exquisite two-story house in front of her, filled with envy. When could she afford such a beautiful house and bring over her parents and An’an?
“Comrade Sheng Ning, I still have errands to run, I’ll co back for you later,” the driver peeked his head out and said.
“No need!” Sheng Ning quickly waved her hand, “I’ll just go back on my own later, no need to co for .”
“That won’t do, this is an order, and I dare not disobey.”
“Then thank you!”
After agreeing on a ti with the driver, Sheng Ning, carrying the items, pressed the doorbell.
“Coming!” The one who ca to open the door was Mr. Liu, who was a bit surprised to see Sheng Ning standing outside.
“May I ask who you are?”
“Hello, Uncle, I’m Liu Yilan’s friend, my na is Sheng Ning.”
Mr. Liu suddenly realized, hurriedly opened the door, and welcod her in. He busied himself with serving tea and water, very enthusiastic.
“Uncle, you don’t have to be polite, I’m just here to see Liu Yilan.” Sheng Ning placed the items on the floor and said shyly.
“That won’t do! I’ve heard a lot about you from Qiu Bai, and I’m very happy that you ca to visit our Yilan.” Mr. Liu carried the tea and fruits to the coffee table, inviting Sheng Ning to drink tea and eat. “Yilan’s mother went to work today, and I happen to be at ho.”
While the two were talking, a beautiful and lodious piano piece sounded from upstairs. The pace of the piano music was very fast and beca faster and faster, also filled with passion. The music’s impact was dizzying and stunning.
Sheng Ning was extrely surprised; even though she wasn’t knowledgeable about music, she could still discern the perforr’s superb skill.
Mr. Liu, who was peeling oranges, suddenly froze, his eyes brimming with excited tears. “It’s the One-Minute Waltz, it’s actually the One-Minute Waltz.”
While Mr. Liu was murmuring to himself, the music’s pace accelerated even more, becoming so rapid that it was dizzying, and even the heart seed tightly gripped. Suddenly, the music sharply escalated, followed by a prolonged trailing note and then abruptly stopped.
Mr. Liu quickly looked towards the large wall clock, “One minute thirteen seconds, one minute thirteen seconds… even internationally renowned great musicians cannot achieve this while maintaining their performance level.”
Sheng Ning, ignorant about music, asked, “It was beautifully played, is there any special aning to it?”
“This is Chopin’s famous piece, called ‘One-Minute Waltz.’ It’s said that naming it one minute isn’t to require the perforr to play it in one minute, but rather to capture a montary aning. However, in the music world, insiders still use the performance ti as a standard to evaluate the perforr’s skill.”
