She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1056 - 886: Super Star 60 (Part 1)

When Hua Yan asked her if she wanted to transfer to a regular high school, Molly shook her head without even considering it: "They won’t agree."

"Also, I don’t want to create trouble for myself. After all, he sponsors this school. If I change places, it might cost more money. I’ll do my best!"

Hua Yan thought about her grades and ultimately felt that she had a chance to go to college, whether it’s first-tier or second-tier. After all, she has a Beijing residency, not the cruel hell mode, so there might be more hope. Moreover, money isn’t a problem for her, and learning more piano doesn’t do any harm. Who knows, she could use this skill to get a part-time job in the future?

"Actually, I still feel more at ease with you around, and I find the essence you’ve distilled for me very pure and very helpful."

Hua Yan nodded: "Your foundation is a bit weak, we don’t need to excel, just master these basic questions. Science subjects are harder, we can choose memory-based arts subjects. I think scoring four or five hundred in the future shouldn’t be an issue, of course, the premise is that you work hard enough."

Molly nodded vigorously, "I will, just as you said, I must go to college, I don’t dare to think about first-tier, but if I can get into a second-tier, I will be very, very satisfied."

Since Molly made it to the semi-finals of the Xinghai Cup competition, it shows that her level is still decent.

Hua Yan doesn’t dare to say her talent surpasses others; she can only say she is more hardworking and diligent than anyone else. Thus, she performs better in class. If Molly had the same amount of time, she might not be much worse than her.

This summer, the effort she put in might exceed what she had done the entire last semester, even the teacher praised her for her huge progress.

The two companions went through the entire summer just like that until the competition started on August 20th. With their semi-final exam tickets, they entered the same competition area but different exam rooms, "Good luck!" "You too, good luck!" After encouraging each other, they high-fived and parted ways.

Of course, many from the school participated in this competition, but Hua Yan only had nodding acquaintance with others; only to Molly did she offer comfort and encouragement.

When Ning Hao learned his sister would be busy during summer vacation again, he could only return to the Northeast. He had Hua Yan’s notes from before, so even without attending cram school, his ability was stronger than others. If he encountered questions he couldn’t solve, there were people at home who could help him. If not, he’d send a WeChat to his sister, and when she had time, Hua Yan would give him detailed explanations, even better than a private tutor.

Hua Yan is the type of player who gets stronger when she faces stronger opponents. Having seen a lot of the world and gone through many experiences, even in such a tense situation, she was not nervous at all.

Whatever practice method she used normally, she used for playing in the competition, from positioning to introducing the piece, playing time, leaving the stage, these were all practiced under the teacher’s guidance, becoming very familiar; she didn’t expect that after finishing one piece and preparing to stand up and bow, a teacher at the judges’ table suddenly spoke to her.

"Play another piece of a completely different style than this one; you choose the piece."

Hua Yan was stunned as she looked up because she recognized the person, introduced by Zhen Hao, as China’s youngest pianist, who is quite famous worldwide. Getting special treatment from him is not just because of Zhen Hao; could this be to guide her?

Hua Yan immediately nodded, stepped back, returned to her seat, and followed the teacher’s request, choosing a soothing "Autumn Whisper." Just now, she had played the emotionally rich and rhythmically strong "Waterfront Adelina."

Actually, not just these, she is very skilled in all world-class piano compositions, effortlessly as since she started following Zhen Hao, the time she spent on practice was twice or even three times more than ordinary people. If the initial phase was about memorizing scores, practicing coherence and proficiency, then after entering the Central Music Academy, she began to work hard on emotions. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

People who study music understand how important the word ’infectiousness’ is, yet it’s difficult to describe with language, relying only on one’s talent and sensing ability to comprehend.

After finishing the second piece, she took a deep breath as she sat down again, then smiled and stood up gracefully, bowing to the mentors.

She could clearly see the eye exchange among the judges, although there was no change in expression, they were at least satisfied with her performance.
