Chapter 246 Following the New Trend
That ancient musical score was a gift from Qi Yuxuan to Tao Ling'er in ancient times, but now it has traveled with Qi Yuxuan through time.
The sheet music records "Thinking of My Lover," a captivating love song that was once sung with deep emotion by Qiu Ziyue.
Memories flooded back as Qi Yuxuan sat alone in his bedroom, the unforgettable night replaying in his mind's eye.
At a bonfire party in the ancient Beitun Village, Qiu Ziyue stood in the firelight, her eyes sparkling with deep affection, softly singing "Thinking of My Lover".
Her singing voice lingers in his heart, and he still can't forget it.
As Qi Yuxuan pondered, a smile appeared on his face, but his eyes were already moist.
"You've forgotten everything and are living a carefree life, while I'm left heartbroken. You're so selfish, Twilight Sparkle."
Qi Yuxuan took out a tissue and wiped away his tears:
"Ziyue, what do you take me for, Qi Yuxuan?"
You're using me as a gamble, betting whenever you want.
They treat me like their husband, spoiling me whenever they want.
Now they treat me like dirt, as if I can be forgotten whenever they want.
Twilight Sparkle, you're so cruel, please don't leave me.
Meanwhile, Qiu Ziyue was alone in her bedroom, holding that ancient musical score.
The light was dim, and the lamplight shone on the sheet music, which was both unfamiliar and familiar.
She hummed "Missing My Lover" softly, the melody like threads of memory, stirring the deepest emotions in her heart.
She actually knew how to sing "Thinking of My Lover," and she sang it very fluently, but she couldn't remember how she learned it.
The bonfire blazed brightly, and the villagers sat around it, while Qiu Ziyue's gaze remained fixed on him.
The boy's face was blurry, but his features were handsome, like a dream, as if time had stood still at that moment.
Like a dream, like mist and clouds, it feels like yesterday, yet it spans a thousand years.
……
"Yue'er, wake up."
Early in the morning, Qiu Ziyue, who had fallen asleep by the lamp, was awakened by her mother's gentle voice.
She rubbed her eyes, staring at the sheet music in her hand, her thoughts still immersed in last night's dream.
Those familiar musical notes seemed to take her back to that warm and affectionate night.
"Yue'er, Yuxuan has found a singing teacher to come and teach you to sing," Li Jinfeng said.
Qiu Ziyue stretched and yawned:
"Oh dear, why is that fox Qi here so early!"
"What kind of fox is Qi?"
Li Jinfeng asked, puzzled.
"Don't address people so casually; be polite."
Seeing her mother so biased towards Qi Yuxuan, Qiu Ziyue thought to herself:
"Besides digging traps for me, what else can Qi Yuxuan do? Isn't he just a cunning fox?"
"Oh, Mom, could you please ask them to wait a moment? I'll be right out after I've finished washing up."
A moment later, Qiu Ziyue finished washing up and came out of the bedroom.
She simply tied her hair in a ponytail and wore a white T-shirt, looking neat and capable.
Qi Yuxuan and Teacher Zhang sat together in the reception room waiting.
Mr. Zhang is a young man in his thirties, with a thin face, and dressed in fashionable jeans and a T-shirt.
It exudes a temperament that combines casualness and professionalism.
"Twilight Sparkle, this is Teacher Zhang. He's here to teach you how to sing."
Qi Yuxuan explained.
Teacher Zhang walked up to Qiu Ziyue with a smile and said gently:
"Hello, Qiu Ziyue, let's start learning to sing today."
Qiu Ziyue nodded, handed the sheet music to Teacher Zhang, and pointed to one of the pages, saying:
"Teacher Zhang, I think I can sing this song 'Thinking of My Lover' now. Could you please listen to it?"
Teacher Zhang was somewhat surprised. He took the sheet music and gestured for Qiu Ziyue to begin singing.
Qiu Ziyue took a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth:
The moonlight was bright.
Alone I lean against the pavilion, gazing at the long pavilion.
Mountains and rivers separate us, making communication difficult.
My heart is empty because I can't see you.
Missing my lover
Where can I find him, so far away?
I wish to transform into a flying goose to convey my thoughts.
Time cannot change the depth of our longing.
……
As Teacher Zhang listened, a look of amazement gradually appeared in her eyes.
When the song ended, he couldn't help but applaud.
"That was fantastic! You sang so well!"
Teacher Zhang praised you highly, saying, "Your pitch and emotional expression are impeccable; you're practically a born singer."
Qi Yuxuan stood to the side, his face showing undisguised surprise.
Professor Wilson had told him that Qiu Ziyue's lost memories were only of people and things, but she could remember the skills she had learned before.
At that moment, he finally believed it.
Teacher Zhang turned to Qi Yuxuan and said jokingly:
"President Qi, would you like me to be the teacher, or Qiu Ziyue? She sings better than I can teach!"
Qi Yuxuan chuckled and replied:
“Teacher Zhang, please don’t be modest. Although Ziyue is talented, she still needs your guidance, especially in the singing techniques of modern songs.”
Qiu Ziyue then interjected:
"Teacher Zhang, I'm only familiar with traditional songs, but I don't know how to sing modern songs, such as rock and rap. Could you teach me those?"
Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhang became interested:
"That's great! However, it's best to have a band with you when singing rock; you can't achieve that effect by singing alone."
Qiu Ziyue's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly:
"We have a band called Swallows, can they come and practice together?"
Teacher Zhang nodded in agreement:
“Great, that would be even more interesting! I can explain some techniques and then arrange rehearsals.”
And so, a vibrant music learning program began.
"However, rock music might disturb the neighbors, so it's best to have a rehearsal space."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan said:
"Don't worry about that. I can set aside a room in my villa in the western suburbs as a rehearsal space."
That's great!
Teacher Zhang's eyes lit up with admiration.
"I'll arrange for someone to install some soundproofing equipment in the next couple of days, and then purchase some materials. In a few days, Ziyue will be able to let her classmates practice together," Qi Yuxuan added.
"President Qi is incredibly fast! He's a great boss, I admire him."
Qiu Ziyue also expressed her gratitude to Qi Yuxuan.
In the following days, Qiu Ziyue followed Teacher Zhang to learn rock and rap techniques.
Qi Yuxuan still had reservations about Qiu Ziyue wanting to learn rock music, so he called her:
"Twilight Sparkle, I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you sing some folk songs? Why do you have to sing those vulgar, unladylike songs?"
Qi Yuxuan, having transmigrated from ancient times, still retains traditional traits and a strong sense of male chauvinism.
But he couldn't even imagine how much he doted on Qiu Ziyue, although he wasn't entirely supportive of her learning rock music.
But we still support it.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Ziyue replied to him:
"President Qi, I'm just keeping up with the times and being trendy. If you're not happy about it, just cancel it. It's fine."
“Okay, how about this, you move in to my villa for a while, it’ll be more convenient for rehearsals,” Qi Yuxuan said.
"No, no, what girl doesn't respect herself and stays out all night? That would ruin her reputation."
"That's right. Okay, then, thank you for your trouble, Xiao Zhuang. Let him take you and your classmates home."
Qi Yuxuan was like a block of ice in ancient times.
In modern times, Qi Yuxuan is like a fox, always cunningly plotting to bring Qiu Ziyue back to his side.
But he also knew that Qiu Ziyue was not an ordinary girl; he truly loved Qiu Ziyue's self-love and self-reliance.
Meanwhile, on the first floor of Qi Yuxuan's villa, renovation workers were busy at work.
As per Qi Yuxuan's request, they not only renovated a professional music rehearsal room, but also created a spacious dance rehearsal room.
To ensure the best acoustic effect, Qi Yuxuan specifically chose the highest-grade soundproofing equipment.
Ensure that no sound leaks out and is not disturbed by external factors.
As the renovation work progressed, the entire floor gradually took on a brand new look.
The music rehearsal room is equipped with a top-of-the-line sound system and instruments, providing a perfect environment for future rehearsals.
The dance rehearsal room has professional wooden flooring and large mirrors.
This allows dancers to correct their movements at any time.
