His fingers deftly plucked the flute, and the melodious sound of the flute floated throughout the room, giving people a peaceful and profound feeling.

Zhen Yan stood at the door and coughed lightly. Shen Muchen looked up and saw her coming.

He smiled slightly, stopped playing, stood up and walked towards Zhen Yan.

"Hello, Miss Zhen. I'm Shen Muchen, nice to meet you." Shen Muchen's voice was gentle and magnetic, making people feel very comfortable listening to it.

"Hello, Mr. Shen, I have heard a lot about you."

There was a subtle excitement in Zhen Yan's answer. After all, the man standing in front of her was a highly-regarded and talented actor in the film and television industry, and one of her idols.

When Shen Muchen heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by a warmer smile.

"Miss Zhen, you're too polite. I remember you also won a few Best Actress awards. If you don't mind, just call me by my name."

The atmosphere between the two became more and more harmonious, as if an invisible tacit understanding was quietly growing.

Shen Muchen invited Zhen Yan to sit down and personally made her a cup of fragrant tea. The two continued their conversation in this tranquility and the fragrance of tea.

"In fact, I have always admired your work. Whether it is the gentleness and charm in ancient costume dramas or the independence and tenacity in modern dramas, you can interpret them to the fullest." Shen Muchen's words were full of recognition and praise for Zhen Yan's acting skills.

After hearing this, Zhen Yan's cheeks slightly flushed, and she responded modestly: "Mr. Shen, you are too kind. I still have a lot to learn. But your acting skills always touch people's hearts and are unforgettable."

While the two were talking, the teacher who taught them Guzheng and Xiao came.

Teacher Li is a musician who is over 50 years old but still energetic. He has profound attainments and unique insights in the performance of guzheng and flute.

Teacher Li was dressed in an elegant robe, walking with steady steps, and his eyes revealed a peace and wisdom that came from years of experience.

When Zhen Yan saw Teacher Li coming, she immediately stood up and greeted him politely, a little nervously: "Hello, Teacher Li, I am Zhen Yan. Today is my first day to learn Guzheng. Thank you for your guidance."

There was a barely perceptible hint of excitement and anticipation in her voice.

Teacher Li smiled and nodded, looking at Zhen Yan gently, as if he could see through her inner anxiety and longing.

"Zhen Yan, welcome to our music world. Don't worry, everyone starts from scratch. Today, we will start with the most basic sitting posture, hand shape and fingering."

As he spoke, Teacher Li slowly walked to the guzheng and gently tuned the strings, producing a few clear and pleasant sounds.

"The guzheng is composed of the top panel, bottom panel, and pegs, while the strings are the key to conveying the emotions of the music." He explained while tuning the instrument, his tone calm and full of patience.

Zhen Yan was so absorbed in listening that she couldn't help asking, "Teacher Li, what preparations do I need to make before I play?"

"It's very simple. First, make sure the guzheng is placed in a position that suits your height and habits, so that you can sit comfortably and play more naturally." Teacher Li replied with a smile and demonstrated a standard sitting posture, "Like this, with your feet flat on the ground, your body slightly leaning forward, and your hands naturally relaxed above the strings."

Shen Muchen watched from the side and interrupted at the right time: "I remember when I first learned to play the Xiao, I was also very nervous. But as long as you feel it with your heart, you will find that music is magical. It can make you forget all your worries."
