Chapter 10: The Cry of the Black Cat

The young girl had accurately calculated the time of his arrival and sat here waiting for him in advance

The black cat lying on the windowsill stood up

The unfamiliarity of playing merely involves memorizing the key positions, while playing a piano piece requires more than just replicating the sequence of key presses; it also necessitates mastering the rhythm, with the emphasis often placed on the rhythm itself

It should be somewhat difficult. An Siyao has never tested the level of difficulty posed by the head maid, so she cannot provide an accurate answer

After more than seven hours, Xia Yu has already completed playing the second part. The remaining third part is completely different from the first two parts, and the difficulty will increase.

After some contemplation, he finalized the plan

From the girl's words, Xia Yu deduced her situation

Looking at the time, there are still ten minutes until it reaches 2:00 AM, as Xia Yu and An Siyao are conversing.

After adjusting his mood, Xia Yu tried a few more times and finally succeeded in opening the hair after recalling that he still had 3,000 in savings

Mao Lishun and Xia Yu once again unleashed their explosive abilities

As a qualified younger sister, one should not pry into the privacy of her older brother

However, it is somewhat difficult. At most, within two days, Xia Yu will be able to complete the third part. After spending another day familiarizing himself with the performance of the entire piece, in three more days, he will have mastered the Etude by Guda.

Specifically, what is the situation at your home? Xia Yu glanced at the time; there were still five minutes left, and it should be enough to finish listening.

With a solid foundation in the difficult études by Gurlitt, many pieces that follow can be learned quickly, and becoming a piano teacher who can earn a living is not far off

You are back!" An Siyu greeted.

For example, every evening upon returning home, I tightly close the door.

"Then why do you want to use my body to practice the piano?" An Siyuan asked in confusion

An Siyao will not speak further; those maids do not appear to be weak individuals. The head maid is capable of keeping these maids in check, indicating that she possesses some level of skill.

In order to prevent Youxue from developing an emotional attachment to the experimental equipment, Xia Yu explained: "This is for the black cat to play with"

This piece is quite difficult for beginners, but it serves as a suitable introductory piece that can comprehensively exercise various techniques

At the price of 5 yuan, Xia Yu acquired a gray hamster, which also came with a cage

He came to the bedroom and lay down on the bed. In five minutes, it would be time for him to leave. He did not want to hastily take over An Siyu's body, bumping and colliding.

The sound insulation in the bedroom is not very good, and the clattering of dishes being cleaned in the living room is incessant. With concern, I glanced at the bedroom where the meowing sound was continuously coming from.

Controlling the body of the black cat, Xia Yu carefully jumped from the balcony to the desk, then from the desk to the chair, and finally landed on the ground

She was afraid that Xia Yu would misunderstand, so she added: "Ah, I didn't mean to say that using my body to practice the piano is bad."

After a moment of silence, Xia Yu said in a low voice: "I am merely enjoying the sensation of my fingers moving freely"

From the words of the young girl, Xia Yu has already realized that the head maid is the ultimate BOSS of this villa. It is essential to understand when the BOSS battle will commence.

I am not being interesting just to tease you!" An Siyu protested

After inquiring about some minor details, after eight hours of gameplay, Xia Yu returned to his own body

Hmm. Xia Yu responded casually, opened the piano lid, and began practicing the etudes by Guda.

Hamsters are fluffy and small; not only girls, but even some boys enjoy keeping them as pets

The Zilang Third High School he attended was merely an ordinary public school, with a curriculum that was far less challenging than that of private schools. Given his foundation from his previous life, he could easily rank among the top five in the class by just listening a bit during lessons and cramming before exams

He got out of bed, turned on the desk lamp, read for a while, played a game for a while, and briefly reviewed his homework

Aunt Dong is expected to return the day after tomorrow

Is she difficult to deal with? asked Xia Yu

Carrying the cage, he returned home

Do you really like the piano? An Siyiao asked

"Do you really believe it?" Xia Yu laughed out loud

He looked at the black cat under the desk, which was sleeping in its nest

At 7 o'clock, he walked out of his house, strolled around the vegetable market and the pedestrian street, and successfully found a vendor selling hamsters

After having breakfast, Xia Yu went to school for class. Upon returning in the evening, he eagerly closed the door and entered the body of the black cat

Sitting up from the bed, Xia Yu engaged in contemplation

So why do you play the piano after all?" the girl continued to ask the previous question

After the death of her mother, her father, preoccupied with work, left her alone in this villa. Since she was five years old, it has been the head maid, known as Aunt Dong, who has been taking care of her.

The head maid is very strict, with detailed rules for everything, and the maids are all afraid of her

In An Siyiao's mind, two bare palms without fingers flashed by, and a sense of sorrow rose within her heart

Indeed, replied Xia Yu

Approaching the cage containing the hamster, Xia Yu took a moment to gather himself and let out a meow.

The hamster was ultimately buried in another roommate's succulent pot

Stop your hands, Xia Yushu calmed her emotions and continued to practice

The hamster was startled and bumped into the cage

You are deceiving me again

Having smoothly completed the first section, as he reached the second part, Xia Yu's fingers trembled, pressing a key too early, and the piece immediately fell into disarray, with a succession of wrong notes beginning to emerge

After the familiar darkness, Xia Yu saw the black piano

"By the way, you mentioned earlier that the head maid would be returning soon. What is the specific time?" Xia Yu asked

Moreover, it can be inferred from An Siyiao's words that the head maid has the support of her father behind her

To obtain the intimidation of a black cat, one must first practice, and practice requires direction. Xia Yu cannot use snow to gain experience, so the most convenient option is to buy a hamster

I am sorry, the girl said

Using a hamster to make a toy for a cat? A sense of doubt arose in the girl's heart, but she said nothing

"Fake hamster?" Snow asked in confusion

Xia Yu was pondering how to respond to An Siyao's question. Should he say that he learned the piano merely to earn money as a pianist at the café on the corner?

During Xia Yu's university days, his roommate kept a hamster. Due to the poor design of the cage and negligence in supervision, the hamster successfully escaped one night. It was not until three days later that the roommate discovered the barely alive hamster in a long-unused cup.

It is said that it is normal for boys of this age to have some peculiarities

According to An Siyao, this piece is referred to as an introductory teacher by many pianists

An Siyao is sulking and ignoring Xia Yu

I will not go to An Siyiao's place tomorrow; instead, I will first go to the Black Cat to learn about intimidation

An Siyao remained silent for ten seconds, organized her thoughts, and began to explain

"I don't like it," Xia Yu answered honestly

Bang

The fur did not explode, the hamster raised its head, glanced at the creature in front of it, and then lowered its head again

"I won't tell you." Xia Yu closed the piano lid and walked out of the piano room

"I will pay more attention in the future," Xia Yu promised

It is a hamster!" Snow looked at the gray hamster with a heart full of emotion.

He opened his hand and stared blankly at his ten fingers

"I apologize, I apologize, it's mainly because you are too interesting." Xia Yu comforted the girl, as his piano still needed her guidance.

Is he really a disabled person without fingers
