Behind the Ji Family, except for Little Treasure who was still leisurely swinging his short legs and humming a tune, the other three secretly broke into a sweat for Nuonuo.
Nuonuo was silent, not knowing if she was scared or reminiscing.
Just when Da Bao thought that Nuonuo had completely forgotten the lody of the tune, the little girl opened her mouth; her voice wasn’t loud, but it was clear enough for everyone in the room to hear.
The tune Nuonuo humd was the exact part Teacher Fan had played. She humd slowly, naturally unable to keep up with the rhythm of Teacher Fan’s piano, but the lody was surprisingly similar to what Teacher Fan had played.
Da Bao, Le Tong, and Ji Rui exchanged surprised glances, finding it unbelievable but also sowhat delightful.
Finally, Nuonuo took a little over a minute to hum the entire segnt. To Da Bao, an amateur, there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with it.
After Nuonuo finished humming, she looked up at Teacher Fan expectantly.
Teacher Fan nodded slightly and gently rubbed her head.
"Hmm, not bad, there were six mistakes in the whole piece, but it’s still quite good!"
Of course, what Teacher Fan ant by "not bad" was probably said under the premise that he wasn’t certain if it was really Nuonuo’s first ti hearing the tune.
"Alright, let’s co over here."
Teacher Fan took Nuonuo’s hand and walked back to the sofa, patting the little girl’s head, signaling she could return to her parents.
"Teacher Fan, what do you think? Does Si Han have potential in this area?"
Le Tong couldn’t hold back any longer. She placed Nuonuo on her lap and asked directly.
Teacher Fan didn’t answer her question directly but asked, "How old is Si Han?"
"She’ll be four in a few days," Da Bao, the brother, replied imdiately.
"Has she shown interest in music before?"
Le Tong smiled a bit embarrassedly, "Perhaps we as parents neglected this aspect before and didn’t pay much attention to it. Today she suddenly said she wanted to learn the violin, which surprised us, but since she ntioned it, it surely ans she’s interested, and we will definitely support her fully."
Teacher Fan nodded and looked at Nuonuo, "The violin is a solo instrunt with high difficulty in performing skills. It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s the hardest instrunt to learn. Si Han is four, which is a bit young, but if she likes it, that’s okay. But as my student, aside from attending classes, there’s at least half an hour to an hour of practice every day. Si Han, can you stick with it, can you endure this hardship?"
At so point, Da Bao had already put Nuonuo on his lap, and after hearing Teacher Fan’s words, he bowed his head to ask Nuonuo.
"Nuonuo, the teacher said it’s very hard, are you scared?"
Nuonuo raised her little hand again and said to Teacher Fan, "Reporting to the teacher, Nuonuo is not scared!"
The expression on her pretty little face was surprisingly firm.
Teacher Fan nodded appreciatively, "Good, the teacher really likes students like Si Han who are not afraid of hardship!"
The implication was that he accepted Nuonuo as his student!
"Thank you, Teacher Fan!" Da Bao and Le Tong said in unison.
Hearing this, Nuonuo imdiately struggled off Da Bao’s lap, solemnly said, "Thank you, Teacher Fan," and then bowed to Teacher Fan at a ninety-degree angle.
Little Treasure, who had been lounging on the sofa and humming tunes as if nothing concerned him, also jumped to his feet, mimicked Nuonuo, and said, "Thank you, Teacher Fan!" then bowed to Teacher Fan with a ninety-degree angle.
Little Treasure’s action made the Ji Family and Teacher Fan all chuckle involuntarily.
"Mrs. Ji, your kids are very interesting!"
Le Tong reached out to rub Little Treasure’s head and asked him with a smile, "Little Treasure, are you thanking Teacher Fan because you also want to learn the violin?"
Little Treasure imdiately shook his head, "No!"
"Then why are you thanking ?" Teacher Fan seed very curious about Little Treasure’s actions and motives.
"Because the teacher is going to teach sister violin, can’t Little Treasure thank the teacher for sister?"
Little Treasure said very seriously, and this reasoning sounded indeed quite reasonable.
"Hmm, of course, you can. Don’t worry, Little Treasure, the teacher will teach your sister well."
Just ten minutes ago, Teacher Fan, who was quite aloof, seed to have softened considerably by these two little rascals, Nuonuo and Little Treasure.
"Thank you, teacher!" Little Treasure thanked again, then turned around and climbed back onto the sofa, once again retreating into his world of high detachnt.
Little Treasure’s antics indeed made Teacher Fan’s face appear much more amiable, his face bearing a gentle smile as he asked Le Tong.
"So when does Mrs. Ji plan for Si Han to start lessons?"
Le Tong glanced at Nuonuo. The little girl had sohow escaped from Da Bao’s arms and was now standing under the opposite wall, intently studying the violin hanging on the wall.
Pointing at Nuonuo’s figure, Le Tong said, "Teacher Fan, look at her eager expression! If it’s convenient for you, the sooner, the better!"
Teacher Fan looked at Nuonuo and was also amused by her besotted appearance, "Alright, tomorrow evening at eight o’clock, one lesson a week. How does that sound?"
"OK, no problem."
Teacher Fan got up and walked behind Nuonuo, bent down to ask her, "Does Si Han like this violin?"
Nuonuo nodded, "Hmm!"
Teacher Fan raised his hand again to pat her head, "This violin won’t be suitable until you’re about ten years old. For now, you need to use a smaller violin."
Only then did Le Tong rember that the little girl hadn’t bought a violin yet.
"Teacher Fan, we’re clueless in this area. How about you help us buy a violin?"
"Hmm, she’s just starting, so a regular practice violin should suffice. If you don’t have any special requests, I’ll go get one tomorrow."
Thus, Nuonuo successfully beca a disciple, and the family of five cheerfully bid goodbye to Teacher Fan and drove ho.
After returning ho, Le Tong took out her laptop to search for information about Teacher Fan.
But Ji Rui said, "He isn’t so famous maestro; there might not be any information on him."
In the end, Le Tong really found sothing.
Teacher Fan’s full na is Fan Jun, and he is the principal violinist at Orchestra Park in R City. Besides that, he personally has won several gold dals in dostic music competitions of the sa type, making him a top figure in the professional field.
No wonder his deanor earlier was neither arrogant nor servile, completely devoid of vulgarity and flattery common among ordinary people.
Very concerned for Nuonuo, Da Bao also squeezed in front of the computer to carefully read Fan Jun’s information, then pointed to a section and said to Le Tong.
"Mommy, look, it says here that Teacher Fan rarely takes on students. Since he beca famous, you can count the number of students he has taken on one hand. Does this an that Nuonuo has a lot of talent in this area and that he is very satisfied with her performance?"
"Of course, that’s exactly what it ans!" Le Tong nodded with a smile.
