Chapter 190: A World for Two in the Piano Room
In the evening, Li Luo and six others gathered together.

The last time the six of them gathered together in Bi Hai Lan Ting to have a meal like this was three months ago during the National Day.

What’s different today is that after saying hello to their elders at home, several people are ready to stay here for one night.

Li Luo cooked a table full of dishes, eight dishes and one soup, which made him very tired.

In my previous life, I gave up the path of becoming a chef because I didn’t want to cook so intensively every day. I didn’t expect that after being reborn, I would still have to cook every day.

However, if the people I'm serving are these cute guys in front of me, it wouldn't be so hard to accept.

"Delicious!" Qiao Xinyan couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised it after just one bite. "I've been thinking about this taste since I ate it once before. It tastes much better than what my mom makes."

"Well... just say this to me." Li Luo accepted the compliment as a matter of course, but reminded, "Don't tell Auntie about this when you go home."

"I'm not stupid."

The six people sat in a circle. Li Luo raised his chopsticks and said first, "Let's eat."

After a meal, my stomach is full.

Perhaps because the desensitization training during the afternoon basketball game was somewhat effective, Zhao Rongjun was not as reserved as before when eating.

If it were in the past, with so many girls around him, he would probably only dare to pick up two or three dishes in front of him.

Today he was quite courageous and even stood up to pick up the food diagonally opposite him.

Of course, Li Luo deliberately put this guy’s two favorite dishes at the other end, and now it seems to be working well.

If he could gradually become more cheerful and generous in front of Ying Chanxi and others, then he would at least not be shy when facing ordinary girls in the future.

Li Luo has good intentions for his good brother's future happy life.

After dinner, as the hosts living here, Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu began to clean the table, go into the kitchen to wash dishes, and clean the house.

Li Luo arranged for Qiao Xinyan and Zhao Rongjun to watch TV on the sofa.

Originally, he was pulling Yan Zhusheng to the sofa, but Yan Zhusheng shook his head, walked straight into the piano room, and waved to Li Luo, motioning him to come in as well.

So, while Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu were washing dishes and Zhao Rongjun and Qiao Xinyan were watching TV, the two of them went into the piano room.

"Why did you call me in?"

"Play guitar." Yan Zhusheng said, hugging the guitar in the corner. "I promised to teach you how to play guitar. You have to practice when you have time."

"Then you are a very competent teacher."

"It's good that you know." Yan Zhusheng nodded, tried a few powerful tricks, then stuffed the guitar into Li Luo's arms and let him try it.

For Li Luo, he had already mastered some basic guitar skills, but he had never been exposed to some more advanced things because Yan Zhusheng had never taught him before.

Only when Xie Shuchen occasionally showed off in the rock club could Li Luo see some small techniques such as slide, strum and harmonics.

These things are actually dispensable for the rock club in high school campuses. After all, most students just listen for the atmosphere and can't tell the difference at all.

But if it's a solo performance, there are a lot of subtle differences.

Some people can even use the guitar as a percussion instrument, using the guitar's wood material to strike and play, creating a rhythm similar to that of a drum set, and the audio-visual effects will immediately be taken to a higher level.

Now that the New Year’s Eve party is over, the Rock Club won’t have any activities this year, so Yan Zhusheng started planning to teach Li Luo more advanced things.

"This is not right." Yan Zhusheng carefully observed his operation, then walked behind Li Luo, leaned over and held his hands, "Look, feel the vibration, then smooth it out instantly, and smooth it out slowly, the sound effect is completely different."

Once you reach this advanced level of skill, relying solely on the soul in the Memory Palace is no longer enough.

After all, the soul-possession is ultimately just an imitation of an appearance. When it comes to the point where you need to carefully feel the touch of the strings and distinguish the sound effects, the limitations of the soul-possession are exposed.

But even so, Li Luo's learning effect is still not slow.

It’s just that the people outside didn’t give them much time to practice.

After about 20 minutes, I could vaguely hear voices coming from the living room. "Huh? Why are you two the only ones watching TV?" Ying Chanxi shook the water off his hands and asked curiously, "Where are Li Luo and Zhu Sheng?"

"They went to the piano room." Qiao Xinyan pointed in the direction of the piano room and said.

As soon as these words were spoken, Ying Chanxi's expression changed slightly, and then quickly returned to normal. He just nodded and slowly walked to the door of the piano room.

The moment she pushed open the door, she happened to see Yan Zhusheng leaning over and teaching Li Luo how to play the guitar, and her whole body froze.

Because from her point of view, Yan Zhusheng's action seemed wrong... It was as if he was standing behind Li Luo and leaning over to kiss Li Luo's face.

Yan Zhusheng, on the other hand, looked normal. When he saw Ying Chanxi opening the door and coming in, he stood up and asked, "Xixi, is there anything wrong?"

"I...um...that...you guys..." Ying Chanxi's mind was a little confused, and he stammered and couldn't speak clearly.

It was not until she saw the guitar in Li Luo's arms that she asked with a glimmer of hope: "...What are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm teaching him to practice guitar." Yan Zhusheng took Ying Chanxi's hand, sat down on the chair in front of the piano, and then clapped his hands at Li Luo and said, "Okay, try it according to the method I just taught you."

"Okay." Li Luo didn't notice anything unusual about Ying Chanxi. He just swept his fingers across the strings and tried to apply the techniques he had just learned to the song "Light Chaser".

After simply singing half of the song and finishing the chorus, Li Luo swept through a string of ending notes and ended the performance. He then raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Zhusheng: "How is it? Not bad, right?"

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "But there are still some flaws. I need to practice more in the future."

“Also, the mood of ‘Light Chaser’ is relatively soothing and gentle, so there is actually no need for so many techniques. If you add too many, the whole song will seem heavy.”

"So for songs like this, you just need to add a little icing on the cake, and for songs that are more rock-oriented, you can try more combinations of techniques, and the listening experience will be much richer."

Only when it comes to topics related to music can Yan Zhusheng say so many words in one breath.

At this time Ying Chanxi also reacted and thought that he must have seen it wrong just now.

How could a girl with Yan Zhusheng's personality take the initiative to kiss Li Luo?

Thinking of this, Ying Chanxi's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to cloudy. He happily hugged Yan Zhusheng's arm and said, "You two don't practice for now. It's a rare opportunity for us to get together. Let's go out and play cards together!"

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded, followed Ying Chanxi and walked out, and did not forget to remind Li Luo, "Remember to practice more often. You can play it for Xixi and senior sister when you go home."

"That's fine." Ying Chanxi agreed. "Did you hear that? Zhu Sheng has spoken."

"Got it." Li Luo put the guitar back into the guitar case in the corner, stood up and walked out of the piano room and came to the living room.

At this time, Xu Youyu had already taken out two decks of playing cards. He picked up two big kings and one small king, and then mixed them together.

After seeing Li Luo and the other two coming out of the piano room, Xu Youyu began to deal cards with great interest: "Let's draw the turtle. The loser will be punished!"

"Why don't you play Landlord?" Li Luo frowned, recalling the tragedy at the picnic in the afternoon of the New Year's Eve party, and subconsciously took a half step back.

Li Luo is rarely likely to lose in games like Landlord that require mental memory, unless the cards in his hand are so bad that he has no choice.

But when it comes to a game that relies purely on luck, like drawing the turtle, he has absolutely no advantage at all.

Xu Youyu just laughed after hearing what he said: "Why, are you scared?"

As she spoke, she raised the lipstick in her hand and said with a smile: "Don't even think about running away today."

Li Luo smiled awkwardly, feeling something was not right.

But Xu Youyu was already shouting and commanding: "Xixi! Zhusheng! Hold him down!"

"Where do you want to go?" Ying Chanxi held one of his arms and snorted, "I let you win so many times last night, let's do it again today."

"I didn't say I wanted to run away. Isn't this a bit unnecessary?" Li Luo looked at Ying Chanxi, then at Yan Zhusheng who held him without hesitation, and was immediately speechless. "Yan Zhusheng, you were not here last night, why did you listen to them?"

Yan Zhusheng blinked, and held his arm a little tighter: "I'll listen to you, senior."
