Chapter 164 Life has two paths
Then what?
Yan Lexue had never thought about this question before, and no one had asked her this question.
Her family has always praised her for her talent at the piano when she was a child, but no one has ever questioned her.
Moreover, the teacher who she favored before was stunned speechless when she finished saying this.
But Lin Yu didn't follow the routine and actually asked her, what next?
Yan Lexue's brain began to work rapidly, but she couldn't stop it.
Her achievements were concentrated before the age of ten. Later, she discovered that she could play the piano very well without having to practice hard. Others need to practice the music repeatedly for a week, but she can master it immediately.
This kind of talent prompted her to have a wrong mentality. With her talent, she would become a very good pianist without working hard at all.
On the contrary, those friends who practice piano hard will be laughed at by Yan Lexue. Only people without talent need to practice piano hard. Geniuses like myself don't need it at all.
At first, Yan Lexue's parents and Mr. Yan didn't pay too much attention. As the family members who loved her the most, of course they also felt that their children were the best. They felt that their children were talented and it was okay if they practiced a little less than others.
However, as I grow older, the gap between me and my peers that was previously due to talent and hard work is gradually narrowing.
However, Yan Lexue and his family did not notice.
Until now, friends who didn't have any talent when they were young were confident enough to easily get good results in the art exam, but Yan Lexue is still lingering on the line of the art exam.
Fortunately, Yan Lexue's family members were the first to realize the seriousness of the problem.
Then I panicked and looked for teachers everywhere, hoping to gain some knowledge before the exam.
I hope it's not too late to make amends.
This reminded Lin Yu of a text he had learned when he was a child, "Shang Zhongyong".
Lost everyone.
Even a child prodigy will be just like ordinary people if he does not receive a good education while growing up. What's more, ordinary people may not be as good as ordinary people if they do not keep up with their later education.
Lin Yu did not feel that he was a teacher. Instead, he felt that Yan Lexue was a living example in front of him and a real-life teaching material for educating little Mango in the future.
And everything he is about to do is also the little mango after twelve or thirteen years of simulated education.
Yan Lexue was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak for a moment.
Lin Yu continued, "You are now eighteen years old and you are still showing off your achievements before you were ten years old. Could it be that when you are twenty-eight or thirty-eight, you are still bragging to others about how talented you were before you were ten years old?
Isn't that amazing? By then, those friends you had before the age of ten, the friends you looked down upon, have grown into piano masters, while you are still numbing yourself with the experiences you had before the age of ten."
Yan Lexue was worried by Lin Yu. Her parents had always tried to reason with her and did not dare to hurt her self-esteem. Most of the teachers favored by her grandfather were also his students before, and they did not dare or were embarrassed to attack her verbally.
This was the first time someone stabbed Yan Lexue in the heart with a sharp knife.
The key is that she is still unable to refute.
She felt that every word was so harsh. She wanted to refute, but she couldn't find the words to refute.
Yan Lexue thought for a long time and said unconvinced, "You said I am easy, but you are very capable? I know all the famous pianists, but there has never been a person like you among them."
Yan Lexue felt that her words would definitely shock the other person. She was sure that there was no such person in front of the famous pianist in Yanjing.
Among the pianists that can be found on the Internet, there is no one who looks to be in his early twenties.
Yan Lexue even felt that this was a graduate student randomly found by his grandfather from the Conservatory of Music. Yan Lexue, who grew up in a music family, did not look down on ordinary students from the Conservatory of Music at all.
Lin Yu smiled.
If Mr. Yan were present, he would never dare to show his shame. In front of the old pianist, Lin Yu's piano skills were simply weak.
But in front of Yan Lexue, who had to step over the line in the art exam, Lin Yu felt that this child still needed someone to tell her what it means to have someone outside the world.
Lin Yu looked around and saw a small grand piano in the center of the cafe.
In Yanjing, generally high-end coffee shops will have a piano, and there will be musicians playing on holidays. Although there is no one playing on weekdays, it still makes the store very atmospheric.
Lin Yu is actually very reluctant to show anything in front of others. He is no longer young and energetic, because others can angrily tell them how old he is with just a few words of provocation.
But today is different. He regards Yan Lexue as a little mango when he grows up. Whether he is summarizing experience for educating little mango in the future, or he really hopes that Yan Lexue can turn around, pass the exam smoothly, and enter the ideal university.
He all wants to educate Yan Lexue well.
If she wants to no longer live in the shadow of her parents and elders, she has to rely on herself, otherwise her name will always be Yan Yishen's granddaughter.
What if grandpa is no longer here in the future?
How many people will still remember Yan Lexue?
How much control can she have over her own life?
There are two paths that people need to take in this life, one is the path that they must take, and the other is the path that they want to take. Only by taking the path that must be taken well can you take the path that you want to take.
Many children do not understand this truth. When it is time to take the path they must take, they get lost and do not finish the walk properly. By the time they understand the truth, they can no longer take the path they must take, and the path they want to take is even more difficult to take.
Lin Yu suddenly stood up.
Yan Lexue didn't know what Lin Yu was going to do. Was he angry with himself? He wanted to leave the cafe?
Yan Lexue, who was secretly happy in her heart, saw Lin Yu walking to the front desk, seemingly saying something to the front desk clerk, and then walking towards the piano in the center of the hall.
He wants to play the piano?
Yan Lexue was stunned for a moment, then curled her lips in disdain.
She grew up listening to piano music since she was a child. Although she didn't practice piano at all later on, her ears were very sensitive and she listened to too many good tunes. Most people's playing could not reach her ears.
Yan Lexue had already thought about what she was going to say to ridicule the new teacher her grandfather had found when he came back.
When grandpa comes later, she can also say, "What kind of music does this teacher play? How can he be qualified to be her teacher?"
Just when Yan Lexue was having wild thoughts, the sound of the piano sounded.
"Adelina by the Water"?
Humph, it's just a trick.
Yan Lexue likes "Adilina by the Waterside" very much. She has listened to this piano piece countless times, and it was played in the original version by a pianist who worked with her grandfather.
Yan Lexue remembers every note and melody clearly. Playing this song in front of her is simply courting death.
Yan Lexue raised the corners of her mouth with disdain.
The beautiful piano sound slowly rose above the coffee shop, and the customers who were still minding their own business instantly looked in the direction of the piano.
