Chapter 54: 054 She knows the top ten classic Chinese music pieces of Shenzhou [2 updates more]

Although they were cousins, Lin Yue and Ye Wanlan were not close.

Six years ago, when Ye Wanlan had just been brought back from the welfare institute by Lin Huaijin, she only came back to the Lin Family Old House for meals once a week. They only saw each other in passing, with hardly any communication.

Back then, Lin Qin’s relationship with Ye Wanlan was actually quite good.

It wasn’t until four years ago that Ye Wanlan, for some unknown reason, caused a huge scene demanding to drop out of Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School. After messing around in the modeling circle for two years, she then ran off to be Zhou Hechen’s body double.

She cut off ties with the Lin Family and never returned to the Lin house.

Now, look, she has come back. Who knows if her intent isn’t to use Lin Qin as a stepping stone to Yunjing?

Lin Yue couldn’t help but suspect that Ye Wanlan had an ulterior motive, harboring ill intentions, and was definitely eyeing the zither.

Finally, the fox shows its tail!

“How can you think like this? Your cousin has never asked anything of me,” Lin Woyu frowned, “Speak properly, or I’ll have to teach you a lesson.”

“Mom, how do you want me to think? Teacher Yue is a member of the Yunjing Zither Association. Do you think if you push someone onto her, she’ll just take them in?” Lin Yue’s voice was cold. “What if she throws another fit in front of Teacher Yue? Does my sister then not deserve to be treated with respect?”

“Your third uncle said that Ah Lan has been behaving very well since she came back more than a month ago and is genuinely trying to turn over a new leaf,” Lin Woyu shook her head, “Ah Lan is not entirely clueless about the zither. When she was brought back, she had a zither with her; she must have learned to play it.”

Lin Yue scoffed.

Had a zither upon being brought back to the Lin house six years ago?

So, at the age of twelve, Ye Wanlan was already so scheming.

Who in all of Shenzhou didn’t know that the Yunjing Lin Family came after the Heavenly Sound Sect?

Just because she had a zither, she knew how to play the zither?

By that logic, if he carried a sword, would he be the Sword Saint?

It’s preposterous!

“This matter is settled,” Lin Woyu said, picking up her cup. “Your three uncles and I were all raised by your eldest uncle. Now that he is missing, Ah Lan is his only descendant. We…”

She sighed, her eyes dimming.

Lin Yue opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Lin Woyu had already left the zither room.

“Brother…” Lin Qin called to him, feeling upset.

If it had been the Ye Wanlan from six years ago, she would have been willing to share.

But the Ye Wanlan of today, she could not accept, she didn’t even want to see her.

Wasn’t it better to treat her like a stranger?

“Don’t worry, little sister. I won’t let Ye Wanlan get her way,” Lin Yue comforted her. “When she comes for the class, I’ll accompany you. I’ll keep an eye on her, and if she dares to say something out of line, we’ll kick her out.”

It wouldn’t be so easy for Ye Wanlan to take advantage.

At this time, Ye Wanlan was painting in her bedroom.

She wasn’t using rice paper but had chosen a piece of silk.

It was a landscape painting.

In her previous life, she had been weak and painting helped calm her mind and nourish her spirit.

When she felt happy, she painted flowers and birds; when she was in a peaceful state, she painted landscapes.

“Ah Lan,” Lin Huaijin knocked on the door.

He entered, and seeing her holding a brush dipped in ink, drawing, he couldn’t help but be surprised, “Why have you started painting again? A few days ago, you told your grandma that you liked the zither and wanted to learn. You weren’t just saying that, were you?”

After finishing a stroke, Ye Wanlan set down the brush, “Uncle, there’s no conflict or contradiction with me liking traditional Chinese paintings as well.”

“It’s… it’s true that there isn’t, but do you have that much energy?” Lin Huaijin frowned. “I’m worried you might take on too much and not have enough time to handle it all.”

Ye Wanlan nodded, “I understand, but I am not short on time.”

“As long as you understand. Both your grandma and your aunt have already spoken to Teacher Yue. This week you’ll start attending classes with Qinqin,” Lin Huaijin said. “Let’s do some prep work. I’ll ask, and you answer.”

Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, turned around, and sat up straight with her hands on her knees.

“There’s no need to be so serious; we’re just rehearsing,” Lin Huaijin was somewhat unused to her prim and proper student-like demeanor, “When Teacher Yue asks you what pieces you’ve learned and what you know, how will you answer?”

Ye Wanlan pondered.

“Be honest, don’t talk nonsense,” Lin Huaijin grew nervous.

Ye Wanlan: “I know all of Shenzhou’s ten great classical tunes.”

Lin Huaijin: “…”

When I tell you to be honest, do you really have to blast such a tall tale?

Of Shenzhou’s ten great classical tunes, now only three remain. Where did the ten come from?

“Reign yourself in!” Lin Huaijin glared at her, “Let’s skip that question. I’ll ask you, what are the basic finger techniques for the zither?”

“Pressing inwards with the index finger is ‘plucking,’ the back of the right index finger striking the string is ‘tugging’…”

“Which styles does the zither come in?”

“Fuxi Style, Confucius Style, Luoxia Style…”

After several rounds of questions, Lin Huaijin was satisfied.

His niece was still very cute, well-behaved, and sensible!

“Dad.” Someone called to him from behind.

Lin Huaijin got a fright, his heart almost leaping out, “Lin Wenli, what are you, appearing and disappearing like a ghost? Do you want to scare your dad to death?”

Lin Wenli was expressionless, “It’s you who was too engrossed. I called you several times and you didn’t hear me.”

“What do you want?” Lin Huaijin glanced at him.

Lin Wenli handed him the book he was holding, “I have some questions about these physics problems.”

“You little rascal,” Lin Huaijin huffed coldly, “Alright, alright, I’ll give you the spot.”

Lin Wenli walked in and unceremoniously shut him out of the door.

Lin Huaijin: “…”

He made a mental note against Lin Wenli.

“What problems? Let me have a look,” Ye Wanlan asked.

“These two,” Lin Wenli pointed to the book.

Ye Wanlan merely glanced at them before taking out a pen to start explaining.

The more Lin Wenli listened, the more complex his expression became.

Such physics reasoning abilities, terrifyingly strong.

“You… intend to participate in the physics competition?” Lin Wenli noticed the competition books on the desk.

“Yeah,” Ye Wanlan stretched languidly, “I couldn’t say no to our school’s Physics Group Leader.”

Lin Wenli paused before asking again, “What about the summer training camp?”

The Physics Competition Summer Training Camp was organized by the major high schools in Jiangcheng, where all students participating in the physics competition would be gathered together.

Ye Wanlan looked at him, “Do you want me to go?”

Lin Wenli avoided her gaze, “If you go, I can ask you about problems during class.”

“Fine,” Ye Wanlan was decisive as well, “Then I’ll go.”

Lin Wenli was startled and pursed his lips.

Should he really put his complete trust in Ye Wanlan again?

Yet he was afraid…

Lin Wenli abruptly stood up, grabbed the physics book, and rushed out, startling Lin Huaijin, who was drinking water, once more.

“Lin Wenli!” Lin Huaijin roared angrily.

Lin Wenli chose to close the door and ignore his lecturing.

In the bedroom, Ye Wanlan added “Physics Competition Summer Training Camp” to her own planner.

She had a habit of making detailed plans, visiting the Lin Family Old House on Saturday morning and the “Annus Mirabilis” drama crew in the afternoon.

[Ye Wanlan]: Principal, please inform the Physics Group Leader that I will be attending the summer training camp.

A few minutes later, the No.7 Middle School Principal replied.

[I told him, and Old Ren is too excited even dancing at home now.]

Ye Wanlan: “…”

Fortunately, she hadn’t gone crazy studying physics.

After finishing the landscape painting, Ye Wanlan washed up and went to bed.

A dreamless night passed, and when she opened her eyes, it was dawn.

Lin Huaijin also valued this opportunity to learn, and after driving Ye Wanlan to the Lin Family Old House, he hurried to the company to work overtime.

The front door opened, and Lin Yue stood at the top of the stairs, looking down, “Since you’re here for zither lessons, you better keep your little schemes to yourself. Neither grandma nor my mom is here today, no one here will fall for your tricks.”

Ye Wanlan strode past him, heading straight upstairs without stopping or giving him a glance.

Lin Yue was completely ignored.

Frustrated, he punched the air.

At nine fifty, Teacher Yue arrived at the Lin Family Old House.

Teacher Yue’s full name was Yue Qinhua. At fifty-six years old, she was a senior member of the Yunjing Zither Association. She traveled back and forth between Yunjing and Jiangcheng every week, specifically to teach Lin Qin.

She was very satisfied with her student, Lin Qin, who was intelligent, skilled, and most importantly, hardworking and resilient.

“Teacher Yue, hello,” Lin Yue stepped forward respectfully, “My sister is already waiting for you in the zither room. There’s an extra person today, but please don’t mind her. She has never learned to play the zither, and I don’t know why my mom insisted on her learning with us.”

Yue Qinhua frowned, “Hasn’t learned the zither? But isn’t it that all Lin family daughters…”

“She hasn’t lived in the Lin family all the time. She came back when she was twelve but has never even touched the zither,” Lin Yue shook his head, “She’s different from my sister. Qin has been learning it since she was young.”

Yue Qinhua smiled, “Let’s head to the zither room first.”

In the zither room, Lin Qin sat in front of the zither.

This zither was her fifteenth birthday gift, specially given to her by Lin Weilan, and she treasured it.

Ye Wanlan stood on the other side.

Upon seeing Yue Qinhua enter, Lin Qin greeted her, “Hello, Teacher Yue. This is my cousin. She—”

“I know, Ye Wanlan. Mrs. Lin has already mentioned her to me,” Yue Qinhua nodded, “Sit down, don’t stand on ceremony. How long have you been learning the zither?”

Ye Wanlan was composed, “A few years, I understand a bit.”

Lin Yue couldn’t help but laugh in anger.

A few years of zither lessons?

Ye Wanlan really knew how to lie without batting an eyelid, just making it up as she went along.

Luckily, he had given Teacher Yue a heads-up in advance.

“I see,” Teacher Yue’s expression softened a bit, “In these few years, what pieces have you learned?”

Thinking of Lin Huaijin’s words, Ye Wanlan paused, then decided to hold back a bit and spoke slowly, “Rise in the Tide.”

Rise in the Tide, a zither piece.
