Liu Man immediately stopped and turned to the three teachers. She looked respectful and reverent. The teachers felt quite warm.

"Do you play any other instruments?" The woman asked her.

Liu Man hadn't realized that the teacher would've asked this question, so she hesitated and thought about it before speaking,

"I know how to play the GuQin."

The woman was surprised with her response, "You mean, GuZheng?"

TL Note: In China, GuQin and GuZheng are very different. In terms of difficulty, a GuQin is way harder than a GuZheng and in terms of how old the instrument is, GuQin is also older than GuZheng. Meaning not many people play this instrument in modern-day.

"No, the GuZheng is the GuZheng, the GuQin is the GuQin." Liu Man shook her head.

"Sorry, I don't know that much about folk music," The woman smiled, and her eyes shined with interest, "I hope that I'll be able to get the chance to hear you play the GuQin in the near future."

After Liu Man left, the associate professor asked the woman, "How did you know Liu Man can play other instruments?"

"Because of my intuition, of course. She's such a hardworking and interesting girl, I wouldn't have believed that she would be as boring as the piece she chose. She must've put her hard work somewhere else."

"But we've never heard before that she played folk music."

"Everyone has a joker card," The woman suddenly thought of something and asked, "Doesn't Tang Tu's girlfriend study folk music?"

"Yes, she plays the GuZheng."

The woman started to think deeply about something.

Liu Man, however, didn't know about the conversation the teachers had about her. The moment she got out, she was grabbed by Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina to go and eat lunch. Playing the piano was a physical challenge, and so they were all starving.

Because the teachers graded them live, the scores came out in the afternoon. The grade was posted online and Liu Man opened her computer to check in the system.

86.

"I passed, I passed, I passed! How wonderful!" Liu Man's lips widened. She was so glad that she wanted to jump, finally revealing the vividness of her age.

Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina laughed along with her. They hadn't seen Liu Man show such a bright smile in such a long time. They were more used to this childish side of her.

"Let's have a feast tonight to celebrate the passing of your exam," Wang Nina suggested.

Liu Man remembered her rendezvous with Yu Zhan, that was to receive cat food, "I have to go home tonight. Raincheck? I will pay for the meal."

"Raincheck, we will definitely remember. Adding onto your promise of a feast when you gain 100 fans, you owe us two feasts!" Li Xiaoru said with a huge grin.

The end of year exam for professions, was the most important one out of all of the exams. After that, there were only a few general knowledge exams and one music theory test. As long as she can memorize the textbook and the guidelines handed out by professors, she would be able to pass.

Liu Man suddenly felt a lot more relaxed than before.

After she finished her last class of the day, she realized that it was still early afternoon, so she rode the subway and headed straight for Yu Zhan's pet hospital. As she pushed open the glass doors, she saw that all waiting chairs in front of the reception desk were taken, and that there were about seven to eight of them. They were all taken up by women, and if you looked closely, you would be able to see that they were all wearing makeup and attractive attire. It was winter, but even so, they were still wearing skirts and tight sweaters.
