Chapter 147 Unexpected Failure
“Come on, you can do it!”
Encouraging herself in her heart and looking at the keyboard under her feet, Kim Taeyeon's calves tensed a little. At this moment, Kim Taeyeon kept repeating her purpose in her mind.
Take Zheng Xiuheng as your master... Of course not.
In fact, wanting to learn keyboard is indeed one of the purposes, but no one knows the deeper purpose.
"I hope it works, so maybe Senior can play music for me!"
Some expectations are actually very small. Children who are far from growing up always have very different thoughts and desires from adults, just like Zheng Xiuheng now and Kim Taeyeon in front of him.
To perform "Ode to Joy" in a single note, you just have to play it one key at a time according to the simple score. If you follow the general simple score in the key of C, the whole song basically changes between five notes. If you really say it is difficult, it is indeed not difficult, except that you have to use your feet instead, and you cannot make any mistakes, and there is also a gamble involved, so the pressure is naturally different.
After calming down and making preparations, Kim Taeyeon finally took action and pointed her right big toe downwards.
“Meow!”
“Meow!”
"Fa, suo, suo, fa, mi, li..."
“La la la la …”
Zheng Xiuheng looked with some surprise as Kim Taeyeon's stiff little feet tapped on the keyboard one by one like nails being hammered into the keyboard. It was not flexible at all, not handsome at all, and not pleasant to the ear. Of course, it is difficult to sound handsome when playing with your feet. But although it was very stiff and mechanical, Kim Taeyeon played every note accurately and maintained a normal rhythm, while humming softly to accompany the performance.
Zheng Xiuheng was not panicked, but just looked at the girl playing with her feet in front of him with great surprise. After a while, his eyes moved from her feet to her face.
“La la la la!”
"No wonder, Snowball said she's a great singer!"
Zheng Xiuheng noticed Kim Taeyeon's voice. Although she was just humming, perhaps in order to find the rhythm of the performance, her voice was not small and she was very attentive, so Zheng Xiuheng was slightly attracted to her. As for the dry playing, although it surprised Zheng Xiuheng, that was all.
However, there was one thing that surprised Zheng Xiuheng very much. From Kim Taeyeon's performance, he could be sure that this girl had really practiced very seriously and her efforts were extraordinary.
In this way, Zheng Xiuheng suddenly felt helpless and wanted to laugh. Although he said so, according to his idea, Kim Taeyeon would realize that she was fooled after practicing for a while, and then give up the method of playing with her feet.
But unexpectedly, she not only believed in herself, but also persisted and made a bet with herself, and now there is even a trend of completion.
At this moment, Zheng Xiuheng's eyes suddenly softened a lot. He felt a little bit of indescribable happiness for a girl who believed in him so easily.
In fact, sometimes the feeling of being trusted by others is very wonderful.
The song was already three-quarters through, and Kim Taeyeon's face turned a little redder. When she played with both feet, she basically used her big toes, and the split between the toes looked very interesting. Her feet were also getting stiffer and stiffer, and her white lotus-like calves were showing a little bit of unnoticeable muscle. Of course, they were not like the muscles of a muscular man, but the slender calves of a girl actually had a different kind of beauty.
"You're not really going to finish playing, are you?" Zheng Xiuheng thought helplessly as he watched the music that was less than ten notes away from being finished. Under the current circumstances, if he were to find an excuse to reject Kim Taeyeon, she would probably find out that he had lied to her. When Zheng Xiuheng made an appointment with her ten days ago, he thought that it didn't matter if he refused and never met again, but now things were a little different.
However, Zheng Xiuheng is different now. After experiencing the blow from Zheng Xiuyan, he has slowly regained his previous personality and has some self-esteem and pride.
So he wouldn't interrupt Kim Taeyeon at this time.
However, Zheng Xiuheng's failure to interrupt does not mean that other people will not interrupt. In addition to the girls who were eavesdropping outside the door, something suddenly began to stir under the quilt in the bed behind Zheng Xiuheng.
The dry syllables flowed one by one, and a smile and expectation slowly appeared on Kim Taeyeon's face. It seemed that she could succeed.
However, just when Zheng Xiuheng thought that Kim Taeyeon would successfully complete the performance, suddenly a white fluffy creature passed by him and landed on the keyboard.
“Ahhh!”
Some sharp screams reached Kim Taeyeon's ears, and the white object that suddenly flew in front of her immediately stimulated the girl's fear.
"when!"
"ah!"
The sole of her foot stepped completely on the piano keys, making an unpleasant noise, and Kim Taeyeon also let out a scream.
“Ahhh!”
But perhaps Bai Xiaoxiao was irritated by Kim Taeyeon's noise. As if she was extremely annoyed by the noise, she jumped onto Kim Taeyeon's feet. When Kim Taeyeon raised her right foot in panic, Bai Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and bit her foot. Then she jumped back onto the keyboard agilely, and then jumped back onto Zheng Xiuheng's legs on the bed with abnormal jumping power, and quickly climbed onto his shoulders.
"Taeyeon, are you okay?"
Huang Miying's panicked cry was heard outside the door, and she seemed to be frightened by Kim Taeyeon's scream.
“Crack!”
Zheng Xiuheng did not lock the door. In fact, he was not very happy about the door being opened by someone. If it was someone familiar, it would not be a big deal, but it was different now.
"It's nothing, my pet scared it and bit it, just a bite. Xiujing, go to the cabinet next to the TV in the living room to find some alcohol and Band-Aids!" Zheng Xiuheng turned his head and said calmly. He just glanced at the girls who rushed in and turned away.
“Ahhh!”
I don’t know if Bai Xiaoxiao is really smart, but as if she sensed Zheng Xiuheng’s mood, she raised her little head and grinned at the girls who were approaching.
Huang Meiying and the others were also startled, but after a closer look...
"So beautiful!" Huang Meiying exclaimed with shining eyes.
"Is this a puppy?" Lee Sun-kyu asked in surprise.
“Ahhh!”
Lee Sun-kyu was startled when she saw the little fox suddenly baring its teeth and barking at her.
Zheng Xiuheng was amused by the little guy. He patted its head and said, "Be good and sleep well. Don't scream. I'll bring you some delicious food later!"
“Ahhh!”
As if she understood what Zheng Xiuheng said, Bai Xiaoxiao cried out in a low voice, which was completely different from her previous sharp voice. She stuck out her little tongue and licked Zheng Xiuheng's cheek, then jumped off his shoulder and got into the bed.
Kim Taeyeon finally came back to her senses, looking at the red gums on the back of her feet, and then she realized what was happening. She looked up at Zheng Xiuheng and asked in astonishment, "Senior, the performance just now..."
"Failed!" Zheng Xiuheng replied with a shrug and a helpless expression on his face. In fact, he didn't expect it to be like this.
The little guy stayed at home every day. Except for appearing on time at mealtime, he didn't know where he stayed to sleep. Except for occasionally basking in the sun or taking a bath, he could be seen without looking for him. Normally, he would only appear when Zheng Xiuheng called him. But he really didn't expect that the little guy would curl up in the quilt today.
What he didn't expect was that the little guy jumped out and helped him solve a troublesome problem.
Seeing Kim Taeyeon's incredulous expression, Zheng Xiuheng smiled and said, "It seems that you were stimulated by the sound of the performance. Although you can basically play it completely, with pitch and continuity, it is still far from being beautiful. However, our agreement did not include beautiful music. If it were only two or three notes away, I might have become your teacher. Now this situation is indeed God's will!"
"Senior, shouldn't we do it again? This is not my mistake!" Kim Taeyeon said excitedly. It seemed that she really couldn't accept such a result. Her two little hands turned into little fists.
"There is no such thing as starting over in life. Although I am very sorry, this kind of mistake that was not caused by others is indeed not considered a good start!"
After Zheng Xiuheng finished speaking, he suddenly thought about it, turned around and said to the girls standing there awkwardly: "By the way, if possible, please go out for a while, I still have something to say to her!"
"Oh, oh, okay, let's go out first!" Huang Miying came back to her senses, nodded, said awkwardly, and then pulled Xu Xian out.
However, Xu Xian looked at Zheng Xiuheng with an unsatisfied look, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she wanted to refute something.
Lee Sunkyu also laughed dryly and said, "Okay, but senior, what was that little animal just now? It looks so smart. Did I say something wrong just now?"
"It's a fox that looks like a puppy!"
“Ahhh!”
The muffled cry from under the quilt made Zheng Xiuheng smile slightly. He reached out to take the alcohol and Band-Aid handed to him by Zheng Xiujing, and regardless of Bai Xiaoxiao's cry, he said to Zheng Xiujing: "You go out first and clean up the room. I'll take you out for dinner later. We won't have dinner at home!"
Krystal nodded with a look of regret, then left the room with Lee Sunkyu and Choi Sulli, and finally closed the door gently.
