In a small building with lush flowers and trees, white lights faintly appeared. From a classroom near the window on the second floor, a burst of piano sounds came from.

Looking into the room through the window, a boy with half-length shawl hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses was playing in front of the piano.

This is a special practice piano room specially prepared by the Alto Piano Department for graduate students. Generally speaking, non-department members are not qualified to use the piano room and classroom here.

But the man sitting in front of the piano at this moment is not a graduate student in the piano department. He is 23 years old this year and is a junior student in the alto piano department.

His name is Chen Hao, from Yanjing. He was born in a music family. He received the most orthodox music education since he was a child. He studied under famous teachers such as Dan Zhaoyi and Ling Yuan, and went from the Affiliated Primary School to the Affiliated Middle School, and then was admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music. It can be said that Chen Hao's life is the career development path that many piano students envy the most. It is difficult for others to get into the piano department exam of the Central Conservatory of Music, which is as simple as changing classrooms for him.

Chen Hao is indeed the darling of music. It is said that learning art requires talent. Chen Hao's talent undoubtedly belongs to the kind of particularly outstanding type. His parents are both musicians, and he spares no effort in training them acquired. This has led to countless honors when he was in primary and secondary school.

The champion of the "Star Sea Cup" National Youth Piano Competition, Russia's Tchaikovsky's long-term style and literary education, w≤≈x International Piano Competition runner-up, the top ten contestants of the island Kawayi Piano Competition... At the age of 23, although he is still a college student, he has long been accompanied by countless halos.

Chen Hao is indeed diligent. Even though he has become the best piano student in alto and is even known as the "Langlang" of China's future, he still insists on practicing piano for more than six hours a day. Just like now. Although it is already nine o'clock in the evening, if other students have returned to the dormitory to rest or play games, he still insists on practicing piano in the piano room.

His slender fingers rise and fall quickly and carefully on the keys, bringing out a series of crystal clear and crumb sounds. At this moment, he was playing Liszt's Paganini etude "Clock". The difficulty of this piece is among the top ten in the world and is a piece that every pianist is afraid of. For piano students, whether they can play this piece "Clock" smoothly is also an important criterion for measuring their piano level.

The door of the piano classroom was gently pushed open, and a simple-dressed girl walked in gently, holding a bento box in her hand.

Her movements were very light, as if she was afraid of disturbing Chen Hao's practice. When she walked into the classroom, put the bento box on the chair beside her, she sat down and watched Chen Hao's performance intently.

The slender fingers, the dexterous touching keys, and the gorgeous sound of the piano...

Looking at the figure who was playing in front of the piano, the girl's eyes showed an intoxicated expression, without any concealing the slightest love that was revealed.

The girl's name is Han Lu, and she is one of Chen Hao's many suitors. Don't think that it is new to girls chasing boys. If you haven't encountered it, it only means that you are not outstanding enough. In this era of equality between men and women, it is not only boys who chase after girls' butts to show their attention, but girls can also pursue boys.

As a talented man in the alto piano department, coupled with his handsome and stylish appearance, Chen Hao can be said to be the dream lover of many girls in the alto and prince charming. At the same time, he is also one of the "four major school grasses" of the alto. Many white and rich beauties do not hide their love for him at all, and some even pursue crazy pursuits, and Han Lu is one of them.

Han Lu learns violin. When she was a freshman, she played a song "Liang Zhu" at a school party with Chen Hao, who was two seniors. At that time, she was fascinated by the handsome and talented Chen Hao. She took the initiative to pursue her. Han Lu is also a native of Yanjing and has good family conditions. Her father is a real estate businessman with billions of assets and has a certain influence in both the political and business circles. Even in Yanjing, where she hides the dragon and the tiger, she can still be ranked number one. Therefore, Han Lu is a standard white and rich beauty. On the first day of school, she drove her Maserati directly to school, which blinded many people's attention. However, she disdains the pursuit of others and only "calls" to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao played intently, and he seemed to have not seen Han Lu's coming in.

Time is tight, and in less than two months, I will participate in the Liszt Masters Cup. Chen Hao has participated in countless competitions since he was a child, but this time it means much more to him than any other time!

Only professional piano experts know how much the prize of the Master Liszt Cup is! Simply put, competitions like the "Star Sea Cup" and "Kawai Cup" that Chen Hao participated in before are at most semi-professional. People who really play piano are simply disdainful of that kind of award. Even if they look at the alto piano system, many people who can get here have more or less similar awards. But the Master Liszt Cup is different. This competition is called a pearl on the piano crown! From this we can see how famous the competition is!

Liszt was originally the king of pianos. The piano competition named after him is naturally extremely heavy. In fact, the Liszt Master Cup competition is so high and strict that it is not an exaggeration to be called the Olympics in the piano world. Not to mention that ordinary pianists are in the top three in this competition, even if they win a top ten and receive a commemorative award, they will be worth a hundred times the price immediately and will be unanimously recognized and respected by the piano industry all over the world!

Because of the strict requirements, the Liszt Piano Master Cup has not even won the championship for several years. This seems incredible, but this is something that has happened. Because of the strict selection standards and the strict judges, players who do not meet their standards cannot win the first trophy even if they win among all the contestants! Therefore, the value of the Liszt Master Cup is very, very high!

Even Lang Lang, who has achieved success, still needs to participate in such competitions to prove his achievements in piano, not to mention a piano genius like Chen Hao.

He became famous in the Liszt Master Cup, and from then on, everyone in the world knows that this is his ultimate dream!

Lang Lang is the second, so he should not rely on other people's fame to show himself! He wants to prove to everyone that he is him, he is Chen Hao, and he is no less than Lang Lang's super piano genius!

His ten fingers were rising and falling on the keys quickly. Twenty years of hard work and countless days and nights of hard practice have made his ten fingers extremely agile. Every key and every melody is so at will!

After playing the last powerful chord with great force, the song "Bell" ended with a clean and neat performance! A lot of fine beads of sweat have also oozed out on his forehead. Just now, he had been playing for two hours in a row, including a large piano sonata by Beethoven, a concerto by Haydn, and a song by Liszt's "Bell". The continuous high-intensity performance also made him feel a little overdrawn!

Don’t think that playing the piano is a very elegant and easy thing. In fact, for a professional pianist, the physical energy consumed by playing the piano during a concert is no less than a heavy physical labor! A music critic once commented on "Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto", which is also one of the top ten difficult songs in the world, said, "Playing this song is equivalent to shoveling ten tons of coal." Although it is a bit exaggerated, it vividly expresses the huge physical energy required for piano performance.

"Hao, wipe your sweat and take a break first." Han Lu saw Chen Hao finish playing the piano, stood up lightly, walked to him, and handed him a snow-white towel.

"Thank you", Chen Hao took the towel, wiped it briefly, then handed it back to her, nodded at her and said.

"Do you need to be so polite to me?" Han Lu said with a smile, then turned around and took the bento over.

"I made it myself. How about trying it?" Han Lu put the bento on the piano and said in a gentle voice.

"I'm not hungry yet. Also, don't give me any bento next time. I don't want anyone to misunderstand." Chen Hao glanced at the bento box placed on the piano and said in a cold voice.

Han Lu is pursuing him. Of course he knows. In fact, it is definitely a very respectful thing for a rich and beautiful woman of this level to pursue him. Unfortunately, Chen Hao is now devoted to piano competitions and does not want to talk about a relationship between children at this moment. Moreover, he has no feelings for Han Lu. He always feels that this woman is too strong and has outstanding performance everywhere. Chen Hao doesn't like such girls.

But not liking it doesn't mean you hate it. Having a girl chasing her is a very respectable thing for boys, not to mention a superb white and rich beauty like Han Lu. Although Chen Hao is a little arrogant, he is still just a student in his bones. He is still a little proud of Han Lu's pursuit.

In fact, the woman Chen Hao really likes is Song Wan'er, a school beauties goddess of the folk music department who is one class younger than him.

Since seeing her playing the song "Thrush" at a school party, Chen Hao's heart was involuntarily attracted to her. He even adapted the song into a pure piano version and created an opportunity to "accidentally meet" and ran to her piano room to practice. Unfortunately, the latter seemed to be even colder than him. After hearing his performance, he got up and left, making him feel sad as a school grass.

"Hao, what's wrong with you? Is it because you have to compete recently? In fact, you don't need to be so stressed. It's good to relax occasionally. Why don't we go climbing the Great Wall tomorrow?" Han Lu said with a smile, not minding Chen Hao's attitude just now. Chen Hao's coldness and apocalypse are famous in school, but Han Lu likes him like this and thinks it is uniquely masculine.

"Forget it, I have to practice tomorrow, and there is not much time left." Chen Hao said lightly.

"Okay, by the way, Hao, why not go to my house to practice tomorrow. I have Stanway, the same model as the competition piano." Han Lu said with a smile.

"Will that... be too troublesome?" Chen Hao was about to refuse, but the three words "Stanway" made him hesitate for a moment. That was a top-notch competition piano! He had been in the alto for so long and hadn't touched Stanway several times!

"How could it be? Then that's it!" Han Lu suddenly said excitedly when she heard Chen Hao showing a loose expression. (To be continued...)
