Capítulo 57: Chapter 57 Brother Xu

Before the prelude of Qing Tian began, Pei Muchan glimpsed him pressing the C chord with his left hand and was already somewhat bewildered.

"4323, 5323."

The two measures of melody were clear and bright, like pouring a can of ice beer into the oppressive heat of summer. But before Pei Muchan could collect her thoughts, the melody abruptly ended.

"Is that it?" she asked, startled.

Xu Qingyan looked up at her, "I don't know what comes next."

He had songs in his head, but no sheet music; he could differentiate the correct melody and sing on pitch, but he couldn't play a bit.

"Have you... learned guitar before?"

"Messed around with it following some videos for a while, didn't keep up with it for more than a few days."

"No wonder." Pei Muchan nodded, "You have a bit of a foundation, remember a few simple chords, and can understand some music theory, so teaching you will be much easier."

"I have melodies in my head, but I can't play them," he said.
