Chapter 62: Live-streaming Playing on the Piano
It was Yu Zhan’s first time using Wei Bo, and he attained more than 5,000 fans on his first day. It was a completely different treatment from Liu Man when she first used Wei Bo.
Yu Zhan did not care about how many fans he had. He was only glad Liu Man was willingly interacting with him, for this meant in Liu Man’s heart, he meant much more than that Tang Tu.
Tang Tu, who was feeling down the entire day because of his breakup with Shen Mozhen, saw this scene on Wei Bo at night and felt even more terrible. So, the photos he had been dropping likes on were shot by another man? How wrong was that?
From that day on, Tang Tu stopped liking and reposting Daylight’s photos.
Now that the “Tang Tu drama” had finally passed, with this new calligraphy topic, the fans of Princess Man were starting to suggest new things,
“Lord live-streamer, you haven’t been live-streaming for a long time.”
“Yeah, you’ve only live-streamed on your first day in Shanghai, and it was quite messy. You also disconnected in the middle.”
“I miss your voice! it’s been a long time since I’ve heard it.”
“Sis, what are you doing in Shanghai? Do you not have any time to stream?”
“Didn’t ‘Peach is a fairy’ say sis is from the Capital Music University? Why have we never heard you play on a piano?”
“I want to hear you play the piano.”
“Me, too.”
“Me, three.”
“Me, four.”
“Me, five.”
…
Even the older fans of Liu Man, like Otaku Boy and I’m Tingting, joined the requests. Otaku Boy even started a vote with his account — #Do You Want to Hear Princess Man Play the Piano?#
- Yes
- No.
- I don’t care.
There was a total of 5,000 fans who joined the voting, and ninety-nine percent wanted to hear her play. Even “I’m a vet” voted, too — He also voted yes.
All the fans loved Princess Man so much. If she didn’t fulfill their wish, it would surely seem unreasonable.
Liu Man was willing to play the piano, but the issue was, where could she find one?
Liu Man thought of that grand piano in the music classroom in Shanghai Experimental Middle School.
So, on the third day of her break, Liu Man left the hotel early in the morning and headed for the school.
The campus scenes were already completed three days ago, and the cast had evacuated from the school. The middle school recovered its cold silence and emptiness.
The guard at the entrance remembered Liu Man. He got invited to be one of the fake audiences when they filmed the piano scene, and when he saw Liu Man, the guard acted as if he saw a superstar. It was true, that in this guard’s eyes, such a pretty girl who knew how to play the piano was a superstar.
“The cast is gone. What are you doing here alone?” The guard was confused.
Liu Man politely answered, “I wanted to ask if I am allowed to borrow your music classroom to practice playing the piano?”
“Of course. It’s winter break, so there’s no one on the campus. The music classroom is empty, anyways,” The guard didn’t think much and opened the gates for Liu Man, then led her to the music classroom.
“Oh, right. I still don’t know what your name is?”
“I’m Liu Man.”
“Can you give me your signature?” The guard was in his mid-30s, and as he said this, he awkwardly rubbed his hands, “Don’t misunderstand me. The signature is for my daughter; she has just started sixth grade. It will be her birthday next month, and she loves superstars. I want to give her a birthday present.”
The guard’s smile was austere, and his love for his daughter could be seen through his eyes.
Liu Man liked his smile. She said, “That’s all right, of course. But I’m not famous at all, and my signature won’t be of any value.”
The guard gave her a thumbs-up.
“That will be no problem. You are surely going to become very famous in the future.”
Three days ago, he was sitting in the music hall watching Liu Man play the piano. He, who had not gone to high school, could not think of any good adjectives and could only describe this girl as a fairy. He liked this girl and believed his daughter would, too. He had never even considered Liu Man’s fame and the value of her signatures.
The guard took out a small notebook and a pen, then handed them to her.
Liu Man asked him for his daughter’s name, then wrote:
“Hello, Chen Li,
“I’ve been invited by your father to wish you a happy birthday. I hope you will be a scrupulous, resilient, and grateful person.
I know you will be a good daughter and a strong, pure-hearted woman.
Liu Man.
February 4th, 20XX.”
The guard took a glance at it and was surprised by the elegance of this girl’s words — He had thought Liu Man would conveniently write something simple, such as “Happy birthday,” “Have a good day.” He was even more surprised at her handwriting, and couldn’t help but complimented, “Your handwriting looks great!”
This school had always hosted calligraphy showcases every year. People would submit all kinds of calligraphy works written with pens and brushes. The good ones would be hung up for everyone to look at. The guard had worked at this school for four to five years and would go look at all the showcases, and he had gained the ability to tell if calligraphy works were good. After seeing so many works from so many students, Liu Man’s casual writing still impressed him.
Liu Man felt that her writing wasn’t good enough. In her past life, she used brushes, so she was much better at using them. It felt a bit weird for her to use the pens people nowadays used, for now they wrote words purposely in a neat way. Maybe she needed to practice more.
This birthday card was Liu Man’s first signature until now.
The guard opened the doors of the music classroom for her, turned on the lights, and left. The classroom looked exactly like how it was that day when Liu Man and Tang Tu practiced the piano together. There weren’t any changes except for a few music sheets scattered on the podium.
Liu Man picked them up and saw they were the music scores for “The Sound of the Wind.” This counted as the cast’s confidential information, and she wondered who was careless enough to leave them here. Liu Man remembered when she and Tang Tu left, they both brought their music sheets with them.
Liu Man folded the music sheets and put them into her bag. She then took out her phone, put it on the piano, and logged onto her live-stream platform. Liu Man had never live-streamed in the morning. Many of her fans were used to staying up late at night, and they were probably still sleeping right now.
But there were still some people online, and they quickly joined the live-stream. Within just two minutes, her viewers count reached more than 1,000.
“Well, this is surprising. We were just complaining about how Princess doesn’t live-stream anymore, and now we see you streaming!”
“Yeah. I just woke up, and I saw the word ‘live-streaming’ on her profile. I thought I was dreaming!”
“So it was helpful for all the fans to vote on Wei Bo. We definitely need to vote more in the future!”
…
Liu Man read everyone’s comments and couldn’t help but laughed as she said,
“Good morning, everyone. It’s been a long time since I’ve last live-streamed. I saw you guys voting yesterday hoping for me to play the piano, so today I found a place to live-stream, and now I’ll play the piano for you.”
