At the door of Liu Man's house, Yu Zhan put down the courier and said to her, "The rest is up to you."
Liu Man didn't intend to invite him into the room either, "Thank you."
Yu Zhan said with a smile, "How many thanks have you said to me from last night to now?"
After speaking, he snapped his fingers towards Alaska, "Paul, let's go."
Paul let out a "bark" and walked in front of him. His four hooves stepped gracefully on the floor tiles. In the empty corridor, there was no sound of footsteps.
"By the way, I need to restock the cat food you asked for. Can I give it to you on Monday?"
Liu Man estimated that the remaining cat food in Sunshine should be enough for two days, "Okay, I have an exam during the day on Monday, and I will go to your store to get it at night."
"What test?" Yu Zhan asked casually.
"Piano, I'm an art student," Liu Man didn't hide. Yu Zhan gave her a good feeling and he was definitely not a bad person.
Yu Zhan was surprised, "You are a piano major? No wonder."
"No wonder what?"
Yu Zhan smiled but said nothing. He led the dog to the elevator, turned around and said to Liu Man,
"Good luck with your test on Monday."
"I'll borrow your good words."
Just as Liu Man took out the things in the courier and arranged them, Zhang Pei came back.
"Man, I saw your father today."
"How is Dad?" Liu Man hurried out of the bedroom.
"He has lost a lot of weight, but he is still in good spirits. He said let us not worry about him. The environment in the detention center is not as bad as we thought."
In Liu Man's memory, this father loved Liu Man very much, and wished he could pick off all the stars and give them to her.
"I only had a few words with him before I had to leave. It still depends on your relationship with Uncle Sun," Zhang Pei said, "Now I have a driving recorder and surveillance video of the intersection in my hand. It was the courier who hit it by himself, and your father also stepped on the brakes."
"But Dad was drinking."
"Yeah, drinking is a mistake." Zhang Pei was angry, hated and helpless towards her husband. "A sip of wine is a life, which is three million."
"Are you sure it's three million?"
"Yiyi and their lawyer are sure to meet with the Wang family next week to see if we can negotiate again," Zhang Pei said. She knew that the other party had little hope of retreating, but for her daughter's future, three million had to be paid anyway. After raising it, she plans to go back to her natal family to borrow it, and she has to go out to work again.
Zhang Pei walked up to Liu Man's side, reached out and touched her head, "You must live up to your expectations, graduate smoothly, and don't disappoint your father's and me's expectations, hey."
Zhang Pei's sigh made Liu Man's heart heavy as if being pressed down by a boulder. Liu Man raised both hands, took her mother's hand with fine lines, and held it tightly.
God can give her another chance to live, she is already grateful, even if this family bears a huge debt, she is willing to replace the former Liu Man to pay off the debt for her parents, just as compensation for occupying her body.
Monday, half past eight, piano class.
Liu Man and his class were assigned to piano room No. 2. No one dared to be late, and everyone arrived ten minutes early. The three invigilators were already sitting inside, and everyone entered the arena smoothly according to their student numbers.
This kind of test is too easy for students with good grades. Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina are confident and have no pressure. They know Liu Man's level and are quite worried about her.
Li Xiaoru said, "You don't care about other things, as long as you can finish playing smoothly, the teacher will definitely not give you a low score."
Wang Nina nodded, "Teachers usually don't make things difficult for students on purpose. The last assessment was because you broke too many times, so they didn't let you pass. You have been practicing for so many days, I think it should be fine .”
"The premise is not to be nervous, I think you are quite easy to get nervous."
Liu Man's psychological quality is indeed not good, and she can't go to the lobby. When there are too many people watching her during the performance, she panics. If it weren't for Tang Tu's spiritual support in the art test back then, how could she have been so lucky to pass the low score.
Liu Man didn't know what she could do in the exam. She was nervous and had no idea.
Her guqin was taught by Mrs. Xu. Most of the time, her audience is only Xiao Zhao and Mrs. Xu. Occasionally, other women in the cold palace will follow the sound of the qin to have a look. Play it to their group of bitter women and servants.
Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina's student numbers are both in front of Liu Man. They entered the examination room one after another. When it was Liu Man's turn, she heard a classmate say,
"Anyway, Liu Man is at the bottom, stay steady, don't panic."
"Haha, it's not the final elimination system."
"At least it's not that embarrassing."
…
This is the image of Liu Man in the hearts of other students.
Entering the classroom, Liu Man first said hello to the three invigilators. She recognized two of these three people, one was an associate professor of the piano department, the other was a teacher who taught them music theory, and a middle-aged woman with exquisite makeup was a stranger. never seen.
When the associate professor and the music theory teacher saw Liu Man, they already had a relatively low impression score in their hearts. Who doesn't know Liu Man in the piano department? The most beautiful girl, but her grades are at the bottom of the crane. The eyes still grow to the top of the head, and no one can look at them.
"I'm playing Grieg's Butterfly today."
This is a relatively simple piece for piano majors. The invigilators did not expect much, and they were a little tired after listening to dozens of piano pieces all morning.
The associate professor said lightly, "It's time to start."
Liu Man sat down in front of the piano and put the sheet music he brought on the piano. Looking at the keys in front of her, she was really nervous and nervous, took a deep breath, and put her hands gently on the keys.
The familiar melody that the teachers have heard no less than a hundred times resounded from her fingertips, and there was nothing outstanding about it.
They took a pen and quickly ticked off several grading standards on the paper, impatiently wanting to end the girl's performance and change to another student.
But the middle-aged woman whispered to the two of them, "Listen again, this little girl is interesting."
"Butterfly", like its name, is a very romantic piece. The superb pianist can make the listener seem to be able to see the bright spring day from the melody, and the gorgeous butterflies stretch out in the flowers.
As soon as the middle-aged woman persuaded her, the two teachers calmed down and listened carefully. Liu Man's piano skills are indeed very poor, and her fingers have no skills at all, but she can accurately interpret every note and every beat on the score. There is absolutely no mistake, she is like a calm wise man, steady and persevering.
It's as if the butterfly has shed its gorgeous appearance and identity, and moved forward with a heavy load, but never flinched.
They knew Liu Man's usual grades, and they could imagine that she must have worked hard and practiced countless times to be able to play to this level.
So they crossed out the previous bad reviews and low scores on the paper.
Finally insisting on playing the piece completely, Liu Man bent down to express his thanks, and was about to leave the classroom. The middle-aged woman stopped her,
"Student Liu Man, wait a moment."
