Chapter 5 - Suffer a lot

The piano building of Jiuzhou Conservatory of Music.

The six-story building has over a hundred piano rooms.

"Quick, Xiaonian. There's only the last piano room left! I told you to run faster!"

Chen Anhe was extremely anxious, while Shen Nian on the side was calm.

"Why is the reevaluation more intense than the art entrance examination?"

Shen Nian looked at the closed piano rooms one by one, feeling very puzzled.

Just on the way to the piano building, not only the freshmen like them, but also the sophomores and juniors were running towards the piano building.

After asking, they found out that not only the freshmen had to have the reevaluation.

Even the sophomores and juniors had to do it again, and the time was also set in three days.

"Quick! Sixth floor!"

"Ah, the sixth floor"

Just climbing to the fourth floor, Shen Nian was already out of breath. "You go first. I'll be there soon."

"OK. Then hurry up." Chen Anhe turned and shouted.

"..."

After he ran away, Shen Nian slowed down.

Because of his physical condition since childhood, his athletic ability was very poor.

He remembered that in the 1000-meter test in high school, he could run for nearly seven minutes. When he finished running, he could see the gloomy face of the PE teacher.

The distance of two floors took Shen Nian two minutes to walk.

When he reached the sixth floor and turned the corner, he saw Chen Anhe standing at the aisle entrance with a boy. The two seemed to be arguing about something.

"Are you shameless? I was clearly the first to come to this piano room!"

Chen Anhe said to a boy wearing black-framed glasses in front.

"What do you mean you were the first! The fingerprint scanner outside this piano room clearly has my fingerprint!"

"No, classmate, be reasonable, okay? I was already at the door just now. I was just waiting for my roommate. But you came over and pressed your fingerprint."

Chen Anhe was speechless. He rushed to the piano room just now and was looking back to see if Shen Nian was following.

As a result, the boy beside him, who was probably coming up from another staircase, took the opportunity to open the door of the piano room when he wasn't paying attention.

When he heard the 'beep' from the machine, it was too late.

"What's going on?"

Shen Nian walked over.

Then after listening to Chen Anhe's description of the incident, he understood.

To put it simply, it was like when going to the toilet, Chen Erhe was already standing at the door of the last compartment, about to open the door. But when he lowered his head for a moment, someone suddenly rushed out from beside him, ran in, quickly took off his pants, and squatted down.

This kind of behavior... could only be attributed to the other person's character issue...

"Shen Nian!"

Han Wenbin didn't expect to meet Shen Nian here.

Just now he thought he was mistaken. After the person approached, he confirmed.

"? Xiaonian, your friend?"

Chen Anhe was full of question marks. If this was Shen Nian's friend... then it would be fine. Just one piano room. If they gave it up, it was okay. At worst, they could go downstairs and wait for a while to see if anyone was leaving.

"I don't know him."

Shen Nian carefully looked at the boy with black-framed glasses beside him and then said. He felt as if he had seen him somewhere before, but couldn't remember the name.

"I! Han Wenbin!"

Han Wenbin was a little annoyed. He had always remembered Shen Nian.

Before Shen Nian came, he had always been a prominent figure in the school and the leader of the piano department.

But since Shen Nian came, he fell from the throne.

Even many people in the school compared him with Shen Nian.

The most obvious was that his art entrance examination score was 299 points, while Shen Nian got a full score of 300 points.

Both his sight-singing, ear-training, and music theory knowledge were full marks of 100 points.

The only point deducted was for the instrument performance.

He later watched Shen Nian's art entrance examination video and felt that it was just so-so! He strongly suspected that Shen Nian had bribed the art entrance examination teacher!

"Han Wenbin... Who?"

Shen Nian recalled in his mind again but still couldn't remember the name Han Wenbin or the other person's face.

"Don't remember me? It's okay. During the reevaluation, you will remember me!"

Han Wenbin had already decided that during the reevaluation in two days, he must outperform Shen Nian!

Let everyone in the school see who is the leader of the piano department!

Bang

The door of the piano room closed.

Outside...

Both Shen Nian and Chen Anhe slightly raised their heads at the same time, looking at the ceiling above, as if still thinking about who Han Wenbin was.

"Hey... Damn it, why did the door close!"

Chen Anhe was the first to react. After knocking on the door twice, he turned to Shen Nian and said, "Xiaonian, is he really your friend or not!"

"... I don't think so." Shen Nian nodded and replied. He really didn't remember who Han Wenbin was. There was no such person among his classmates in junior high and high school, nor during the art entrance examination training...

"Hey, this guy. My hot temper. What does it mean for him to close the door?"

Chen Anhe rolled up the sleeves of both hands, as if he was going to fight with the piano room door.

"Forget it. The other person has already clocked in on the smart campus..."

Shen Nian pulled the person who wanted to kick the door beside him.

"Damn it. Don't let me catch you on campus in the future. Otherwise, you'll suffer a lot!"

Chen Anhe finally said a harsh word and walked downstairs angrily.

Shen Nian followed behind. After going down two floors, he said to Chen Anhe, "Chen Erhe, how about going to the comprehensive building to practice the piano?"

"The comprehensive building? Aren't the piano rooms there only for teachers to use?"

"What's the big deal? Let's sneak in and practice. And even if the teachers know, can they really scold us?"

Shen Nian pointed to another piano building not far away.

Although it was only three floors, each piano room there was several square meters larger than here.

The most important thing was that the pianos there were of a much higher grade than here.

There were two grand pianos worth over one million yuan on the third floor, and the air conditioning was on all year round.

"That makes sense. Let's go!" Chen Anhe nodded and replied.

...

"Whew, this sound quality is really amazing..."

On the third floor of the comprehensive piano building, in the innermost room, after playing two notes, Chen Anhe felt as if his whole person was about to ascend. "Of course"

Shen Nian was also sitting on the piano stool and played two staccato notes with his fingers. It was very crisp.

The piano in front of him was exactly the same brand and model as the one at his home before, STW.....

"But didn't it say there were only two pianos on this third floor?"

Shen Nian was a little puzzled. Just now when they reached the third floor, the other two rooms were locked. Only this innermost one was not.

"Who knows? Maybe the school's budget has increased recently and they bought another one."

Chen Anhe shrugged indifferently.

For ordinary piano students, perhaps they would never have the chance to play such a high-grade piano in their lifetime.

"That's right. Let's start practicing!"

Shen Nian sat aside.

He might have underestimated this reevaluation by far. Just when they went upstairs, basically all the piano rooms on the first and second floors were full.

Presumably, the sophomores and juniors got the approval from their professional course teachers to come here to practice.
