The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 13

Chapter 13

“As a player, the most important thing when playing the piano to the end is no longer technique, but your integration with the music. Every melody is a part of your body, and all your emotions should be the emotions that that piece of music should have.”

Chen Xian tapped her trouser legs with her fingers to hide her inner disappointment and panic. She tried hard to find words related to Lan Yuan and the piano.

“The students have been taught.” Lan Yuan clenched her fingers tightly and nodded slightly with her lowered head, trying her best to control herself not to look at Shen Xian. Even without a mirror, she knew how sad and sad Xiang Chenxian’s eyes were.

Because Shen Xian refused to accept the gift yesterday, Lan Yuan has been grudged and unable to get out.

“Okay, no more words. You continue to rest. We will practice later.” Shen Xian saw that Lan Yuan was not willing to communicate with him, so he kept his head down and simply walked out of the room without disturbing Lan Yuan and giving her some space.

Jasmine served tea to Lan Yuan in time, “Miss, have a sip of tea to cheer up.”

Lan Yuan took the cup of tea. Jasmine brewed melon slices today, but the taste was not as good as before. She took a sip and put it aside.

“Jasmine, Teacher Shen doesn’t seem to like me as a student very much.” Lan Yuan sighed. Shen Xian didn’t even want to talk to her just now. She would rather go outside to get some fresh air than stay in the same space as herself.

In the end, the emotions they had gotten along with each other in the past few months were all in the mirror. In the end, it was because she had seen the wrong things. The falling flowers were intentional and the flowing water was ruthless. It was all just a dream of her own. Lan Yuan laughed at herself that she had no weight in Shen Xian’s heart.

“Did Miss have some misunderstanding with Teacher Shen?” Both of them seemed to have changed overnight, and Jasmine didn’t understand.

And Jasmine didn’t think that Shen Xian didn’t like the young lady. The teacher gave her gifts, clothes, took photos and celebrated birthdays together. Shen Xian didn’t really think of the young lady as a student, but rather as a good friend and a good sister.

“She treats me well, but I don’t know whether it is out of affection or unintentional. Forget it, let’s not talk about this, you go and invite Teacher Shen back, the time is up.” Lan Yuan pinched the time, exactly two minutes had passed, and she had been staring at the clock on the wall since Shen Xian left.

Even if Shen Xian may be hypocritical, Lan Yuan still wants to drink poison to quench her thirst, and is not willing to spend any less time with him.

It took three days of continuous practice for this piece of music to pass. The two of them had their own concerns. Shen Xian was surprised that Lan Yuan was so unskilled at the piano. Lan Yuan was relieved that he had finally finished practicing this piece of music.

An ordinary afternoon——

Lan Yuan copied the scriptures for two hours. The room was lit with soothing incense but she couldn’t feel at ease. Feeling irritated, she simply threw the thick pile of white paper and black words on the ground. She didn’t believe in ghosts and gods. These scriptures could not ward off evil spirits or help meditate, so it was better not to leave them.

Chen Xian thought about how Lan Yuan had not looked good for three days. He knew that he must have done something bad, so he came to Lan Yuan to apologize and knocked on the door anxiously.

“Come in.” Lan Yuan thought it was Jasmine.

Shen Xian pushed open the wooden door, and the papers on the floor of the room were picked up by the wind outside, flying into a mess, and some even touched Shen Xian’s face and flew out of the room.

Separated by countless scriptures, the two pairs of eyes looked at each other quietly, with indescribable complex emotions in their eyes.

Chen Xian looked at Lan Yuan’s desolate look across countless pieces of paper, and her heart seemed to be pulled. The person opposite looked so weak and miserable. She was trapped in this ancient and deep house.

At this moment, Chen Xian sympathized with Lan Yuan’s involuntary life. Lan Yuan had never been indifferent to the world. She had completely lost the opportunity to contact the world.

Even though Lan Yuan was sulking at Shen Xian at this moment, she felt that Shen Xian’s hair blown by the wind was extremely beautiful, and that beautiful face, even if the sight was blurred by the floating paper, it could not be ignored, it was too beautiful and dazzling.

Moreover, Lan Yuan looked at Shen Xian standing outside the door and felt that she seemed to be standing at the center of the world, so beautiful and desirable, while she could only stay in the edge corner and slowly wither.

After coming back to his senses, Shen Xian quickly walked into the room and closed the door forcefully.

Lan Yuan quickly bent down and picked up the paper on the ground.

“Do you believe in Buddhism?” Shen Xian picked up things with her and saw the Buddhist words such as Amitabha and Prajna on the paper. Is Lan Yuan going to escape into Buddhism at such a young age?

“If you don’t believe it, just copy it casually.” Lan Yuan explained while picking up the paper, and silently vowed in her heart that she would never throw anything on the ground casually again.

There was only the last piece of paper left on the ground, and the two people grabbed it at the same time, staring at each other.

“You haven’t ignored me recently. Have I done something that dissatisfied you?” Shen Xian was the first to speak to break the silence.

“You didn’t mess with me, it was me who bothered me.” Lan Yuan pulled the piece of paper away, stood up, and spoke in a cold voice.She didn’t expect that Chen Xian would take the initiative to admit his mistake. Although she had just forgiven this person in her heart, she still wanted to let Shen Xian coax him a few more times.

Chen Xian also stood up, and Lan Yuan’s cold “You didn’t mess with me” made Chen Xian sure that Lan Yuan was angry with him.

“I apologize to you. Can I be more cautious in my words and deeds in the future?” Shen Xian deliberately touched Lan Yuan’s hand with his own hand.

Lan Yuan turned away, not looking at Shen Xian, otherwise the smile at the corner of her mouth would be noticed, “Let’s see how you behave.”

Chen Xian was sure that Lan Yuan meant to forgive him, and jumped up excitedly.

Lan Yuan has also reflected on it in the past few days. From Shen Xian’s perspective, it is understandable to refuse such an expensive gift, and Shen Xian’s kindness to her is visible to the naked eye.Rather than having a conflict in the limited time, it is better to make the most of every second, because even he doesn’t know when Shen Xian will leave the Lan family.

But Lan Yuan has never done anything like actively seeking reconciliation with someone else. She even hopes that in the process of self-healing, she can convince herself to reconcile with Shen Xian.

Fortunately, Shen Xian gave him the steps first, and Lan Yuan was happy to come down. After all, Lan Yuan himself was not sure which year or month he would have to copy before he could save face and sue for peace.

On the second day of class, Lan Yuan returned to her previous cheerful look.When Chen Xian arrived at the piano room, he immediately walked up to her and handed her a box.

Chen Xian was worried that it was something valuable and did not dare to open it.

Seeing Shen Xian’s timid appearance, Lan Yuan suddenly laughed and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not something expensive this time.”

Shen Xian opened it with confidence. Inside was a blue handkerchief. He picked it up and looked at it carefully. There was a piano embroidered on it. The embroidery was double-sided and the stitching was particularly good.

“I’ll replenish your birthday gift. You can accept it with peace of mind this time.” After the reconciliation, Lan Yuan was thinking about what kind of birthday gift to give Shen Xian last night. It was too expensive to give, and it was too cheap to express his feelings. After thinking about it, he only thought of giving a handkerchief.

But this is not an ordinary handkerchief from a store. It was made by Lan Yuan herself. The real courtesy is light but the affection is heavy. She stayed up late to embroider the piano pattern stitch by stitch. Now she still has dark circles under her eyes, which she used a thick layer of powder to cover.

“Miss Shen spent all night embroidering yesterday.” Jasmine interjected. It was an exaggeration, but she just wanted to let Teacher Shen know how good the lady is.

Chen Xian was shocked at first, and then felt distressed, “I will definitely cherish this gift, I like it very much.”

“As long as you like it.” Lan Yuan raised the corners of her mouth.

“But don’t stay up late doing this in the future, it will hurt your eyes.”

“It’s not something I do often, don’t worry.” Lan Yuan comforted Shen Xian.

“You are so good at embroidery. Please teach me how to do it in the future. I want to learn it too.” Shen Xian carefully touched the piano pattern and felt that this skill was even better than Hunter’s.

“Okay.” Lan Yuan agreed, feeling that it was great to be able to embroider for the first time.

The days returned to their original state, and Jasmine found that the young lady began to laugh silly occasionally, and she also actively cooperated with Teacher Shen during class.Occasionally, the young lady would make excuses to ask Teacher Shen to accompany her to dinner.

The plum rain in Yangzhou began to fall non-stop, and the entire Lan Mansion was covered with fog.A little bit of moss appeared on the north wall of the piano room, and the room became very humid.

Chen Xian hoped to find some dehumidifier to remove the moisture, otherwise the piano would also get damp and affect the sound quality.She planned to get the housekeeper to take care of this matter after class was over.

Today’s rain was heavier than the previous few days. The sound of the piano and the sound of rain hitting the bluestone steps covered up Aunt Li’s knock on the door. Afraid of delaying the time of the telegraph operator outside, Aunt Li broke in directly.

When Aunt Li entered the door, she saw the young lady casting a sharp look at her, as if she had ruined the young lady’s great good deeds, and she felt a chill in her back.

“There is a telegram for you. The telegraph operator asked me to give it to you immediately, about your uncle.” Aunt Li spoke tremblingly, her legs shaking a little because of Lan Yuan’s fright.

Hunter usually communicated with Shen Xian mainly through letters. Now that he was sending an urgent telegram, something must have happened. Shen Xian immediately took the telegram from the aunt’s hand. Because of the heavy rain, a corner of the telegram was already wet, but luckily the content was not wet.

“The store is in danger and your life is in danger, return quickly” are six characters.

Shen Xian’s face suddenly turned pale and he was in a panic, “Let’s finish today’s class here, I want to go back to Yangzhou immediately.” Without even holding an umbrella, he ran into the rain and went back to his room to pack his things and prepare to go to the train station.

Lan Yuan also became anxious and chased after him with an umbrella.When he arrived at Shen Xian’s house, he saw that she was soaked all over, so he immediately brought her a towel.

Chen Xian didn’t bother to wipe it with a towel, closed the box and prepared to leave.

This time, Lan Yuan clasped Shen Xian’s wrist tightly and blocked her way, with a firm look in her eyes, “It’s raining heavily now, and you can’t even stop a rickshaw. I’m going to ask Jasmine to inform the driver in the mansion to take you to the train station.”

Jasmine held an umbrella and went to find the driver. Lan Yuan pinned the driver on the chair and wiped her hair with a towel, carefully and gently.

“Don’t be afraid, uncle will be fine.” Lan Yuan patted Shen Xian on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

“I’m so afraid something will happen to him!” Shen Xian burst into tears with a choked voice.Hunter is his only relative in China. Although he is not a biological uncle, he is already like a family member. Although the two of them usually quarrel and make noise, they really care about each other.

“Uncle Ji Ren Tianxiang, everything will be fine.” Lan Yuan knew that all she could do was say these words to comfort Shen Xian.

Jasmine turned back and informed them that the car was ready.

Lan Yuan was worried about Shen Xian and got into the car with her. Jasmine was worried that the young lady would catch a cold in the rain, so she hurriedly handed the young lady the cloak she had brought with her when she came to class.

The driver drove the car, and Lan Yuan ordered him to drive as fast as possible.Sitting in the back with Shen Xian, Lan Yuan held Shen Xian’s hand tightly, hoping that this would give her strength. Although she knew it would be of little use, she would feel even more useless if she didn’t do it.

Fortunately, he caught the train that was about to leave for Yangzhou. Lan Yuan accompanied Shen Xian through the crowded crowd and came to the platform, waiting to get on the train.This is also the first time Lan Yuan has made herself so embarrassed, but she is willing to do so.

Most of Shen Xian’s clothes were wet, so Lan Yuan put the cloak given by Jasmine on her body, “Have a nice trip, I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Although I don’t know your return date, I will always wait for you to come back, Lan Yuan thought in her heart.
