The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 55

Chapter 55

“Thank you.” Chen Xian looked at Feixue outside the window and kept holding Lan Yuan’s hand, thanking her for her tolerance for her relationship with Xu Ziyu.

“There are things I haven’t told you, but I think it’s time to tell you now.”

The new year is coming, and Shen Xian also wants to tell Lan Yuan about the past that she could not confess. She wants to go to the future with Lan Yuan without any reservations!

When Lan Yuan heard Chen Xian’s words, he guessed that what she was going to say next would be those things that made her heavy. He tightened her hand with a serious expression.

The past events that Shen Xian told Lan Yuan can be traced back to that summer day in 1926——

Before 1926, Shen Xian thought she would live in the UK forever. Her family was harmonious and her parents were loving. Although she suffered discrimination, it did not leave a shadow on her.

In the autumn of 1924, Shen Xian was admitted to his favorite music school as he wished. After graduation, he could become a pianist and live a stable and happy life.

While in college, Shen Xian was exposed to more new ideas about human rights and peace.

Shen Xian also joined the school’s club organization to oppose war and invasion with like-minded people. Shen Xian’s parents also supported her in these things because they were also anti-war and war-weary.

But in 1926, when Shen Xian went home for the winter vacation of his junior year——

On Christmas Eve, Shen Xian was cleaning at home and accidentally discovered an execution list in his father’s study——

It was a document signed by Shen Xian’s father, Mr. Robert, to execute three thousand Chinese workers.

Not only that one, Shen Xian searched carefully and found dozens of similar documents, some of which executed hundreds of people, and some of which executed dozens of people. All of them were signed and approved by Shen Xian’s father.

Looking at these bloody evidences, Shen Xian thought of his kind father who kept saying he loved East Asian culture, and could not regard the two such separated faces as the same person.

The father who kept saying that he loved the ancient Eastern countries and hated war was an out-and-out executioner.

When he was the ambassador to China, Shen Xian’s father would capture Chinese people and bring them back to the UK to lay tracks, cables or other labor, and then secretly execute them. This was all he did over the years.

Shen Xian couldn’t accept that the father she respected and loved the most was actually the kind of person she hated the most.

Even when Shen Xian saw the documents, he felt that they were fake documents, so he confirmed them many times before accepting that it was an established fact that it had happened, and that it was human lives being killed one after another.

Shen Xian also found his father’s former secretary to learn more, but he learned another terrifying fact –

It turns out that Robert chose Shen Xian as his child for the forgiveness of Jesus. He was afraid of killing so many Chinese and falling into hell after death, so he chose to train Shen Xian. Because Shen Xian was dazzling and beautiful in the orphanage, he chose her.

After spending Christmas with his parents, Shen Xian stopped going home and hid in school!

She will always remember that the hazelnut cake on Christmas Day was sweet, but tasted bitter and astringent in her mouth!His parents gave him the latest Leica camera as a Christmas gift, but Shen Xian didn’t dare to take pictures with the camera!

During the half year of hiding in school, Shen Xian struggled repeatedly. She attended reading clubs and parades during the day, and when she returned to the dormitory at night and turned off the lights, she would dream of bloody ghosts seeking her life.

Shen Xian also tried to go home and ask his father why he killed someone?But as soon as she stepped into the house, facing her parents’ enthusiasm and welcome, she didn’t even have the courage to be right. Her world collapsed and her heart was completely split in two.

Shen Xian didn’t dare to reveal the bloody facts in the study, because even though her father killed so many people, she still remembered the kindness his father was to me.

Moreover, Shen Xian knew that every penny he spent on his education was earned by his father signing a murder document.

When Shen Xian was preaching anti-war and anti-violence at school, she thought of her father who had committed a crime, and she was so cowardly that she did not dare to talk about these things with her classmates.

Shen Xian couldn’t help but laugh at himself, sucking blood and resisting at the same time. Is there anyone in the world who is more responsible and upright than her?She could not forgive her father or herself, so she fled to Hunter to avoid life.

She abandons her world in England and plans to start a new life!

“I have never been perfect, and I am not as optimistic and cheerful as you seem. I am weak and timid, but I can’t let go of my obsession with beauty. Am I still worthy of your love?”

After Chen Xian told Lan Yuan these things, she let out a long sigh and felt relieved. Then she quietly waited for Lan Yuan to judge her.

Lan Yuan never thought that Shen Xian would go through this. At that time, Shen Xian was only nineteen, but he had to accept such a tragic thing. Anyone else would be in despair!

“You are always worthy of my love. I like everything about you. When you say this, I only feel infinite love for you. I didn’t accompany you through the darkest period and made you wander alone. I’m sorry.” Lan Yuan hugged Shen Xian tightly. Her life was even more painful than she imagined!

Lan Yuan feels that the sins of the country and nation should not be imposed on Shen Xian’s small body. She is also a victim in this disaster, not a vested interest!

“Do you really still like me? I’m so afraid that you hate me for being so cowardly and cowardly.” Shen Xian also hugged Lan Yuan, with tears in his eyes, crying in her arms, hugging her waist tightly, trying to integrate her into his body.

Fortunately, her blue kite did not abandon her!

“I’m glad you opened your heart to me. Barring life, old age, illness or death, I will love you every second. As I said before, I love everything about you.”

“If you want to be brave, I will accompany you step by step. If you want to escape from the world, then I will be your protective umbrella. You can do whatever you want. You just need to be yourself. I love you, Chen Xian.”

Lan Yuan wiped away Shen Xian’s tears, kissed her forehead, and gave her endless tenderness.

Shen Xian remembered that when she lived in the school dormitory, she would go to the beach every day and sit on the rocks, crying and shouting.

Once, Shen Xian suddenly felt that the sea water could speak and called him to jump in, so he did so.

When Shen Xian realized that she was committing suicide, the sea water had reached her neck. She sank her head into the water, but when she was about to suffocate, she was afraid of death, so she quickly came out of the water and ran back to the reef.

Shen Xian found it incredible that such a timid and cowardly person would be infinitely tolerated by others. Lan Yuan really did not ask herself to be brave, but really allowed herself to be a snail huddled in its shell.

“I love you too, I love you all the time, Yuanyuan.” Shen Xian also kissed her forehead with a relieved smile.

From this moment on, Shen Xian felt that Lan Yuan had built a new world for her, and she was reborn. From then on, her world had a path to light.

Only Lan Yuan is her love and salvation!

The flying snow outside the window gradually turned into heavy snow. The auspicious snow heralded a good harvest, and the two magpies on the tree also screamed happily.

They returned to Nanjing the next day. The officers who had stayed behind drove Shen Xian and his party to the train station, took a sleeper berth back to Jinling, and were admitted directly to Jinling General Hospital.

The New Year’s bell rang, and the new year also arrived as scheduled amidst the heavy snow.

Outside the ward, thousands of lights were brightly lit. Inside the ward, Hunter made a New Year’s Eve dinner and brought it over, setting it on an exquisite plate.

The three of them drank together to celebrate the New Year. Only Shen Xian’s cup was filled with milk.

After dinner, Hunter did not stay in the hospital, but went home to watch the New Year. He did not want to be the light bulb for the young couple.

The ward arranged by Xu Ziyu had heating, so Lan Yuan only wore a sweater, while Shen Xian continued to wear a hospital gown.

The two of them nestled close together on the sofa to watch the New Year——

Chen Xian peeled the melon seeds one by one, and after peeling a hundred melon seeds, he put them into Lan Yuan’s mouth.

Lan Yuan also peeled the melon seeds one by one, and after peeling a hundred melon seeds, she sent them to Chen Xian’s mouth.

“Aren’t we a little childish like this?” Lan Yuan asked Chen Xian while peeling melon seeds.

“It’s okay.” Shen Xian said. She felt that doing anything with Lan Yuan was quite fun.

“But it hurts my hand like this. You’ve even scratched your hand.” Lan Yuan turned over Shen Xian’s hand and looked at it carefully, for fear that it would be injured.

“How about playing poker?” Shen Xian glanced at his watch. It was still far from twelve o’clock and he couldn’t sleep.

Lan Yuan shook her head, she didn’t want to play cards.

“Is there anything you want to do?” Shen Xian asked Lan Yuan.

“I want to hear you sing and read.” Lan Yuan still remembered that Shen Xian sang to Xu Ziyu and read.

“Okay!” Shen Xian agreed.

Chen Xian sang several popular songs.

Lan Yuan took a closer look at Shen Xian’s flawless face, which even the hospital gown could not hide. Listening to Shen Xian’s melodious and charming singing voice, she suddenly understood the reason why ancient kings did not go to court early – the temptation was huge when a beautiful woman was by his side.

“You sang well, let me reward you.” Lan Yuan couldn’t help but kissed Chen Xian’s lips gently.

“I LOVE YOU.” Chen Xian said to Lan Yuan.

“What did you say?” Lan Yuan was confused.

“I LOVE YOU in English means I love you.” Shen Xian explained with a blushing face.

“I…LOVE…YOU.” Lan Yuan imitated Shen Xian’s pronunciation.

“I love you too.” Shen Xian pecked Lan Yuan’s lips and nodded.

“Are you trying to trick me?” Lan Yuan pinched Chen Xian’s face.

“Do I want to trick you again? Don’t you always say you love me.” Shen Xian looked confident and took the opportunity to kiss Lan Yuan again!

Lan Yuan reluctantly let go of her hand. She couldn’t refute Chen Xian’s words, because they were true!

The clock on the wall was about to reach twelve o’clock. Shen Xian stopped playing with Lan Yuan and counted down five numbers in his heart——

five, four, three, two, one

“Happy birthday!” Shen Xian said excitedly to Lan Yuan.

She always remembered that the first day of the new year was Lan Yuan’s birthday.

Lan Yuan has been taking care of Shen Xian and has forgotten her birthday. Unexpectedly, Shen Xian still remembers it silently, and her heart is very warm.

“Thank you, Chen Chen.” Lan Yuan kissed Chen Xian.

“The cake is in the closet. I asked my uncle to hide it specially.” Shen Xian pointed to the closet.

Lan Yuan opened the closet, and sure enough there was a cake and a gift box next to it.

“That’s my gift to you.” Chen Xian explained.

Lan Yuan carefully opened the box. Inside was a new camera, three-strip film, and a photo album.

Opening the photo album, Lan Yuan found that it was all photos of herself——

There is the self who goes to enjoy the peach blossoms, the self who sits in the courtyard drinking tea, the self who wears a cheongsam for the first time, the self who looks at the maple leaves, the self who sits in the square…

“Eighteen-year-old Lan Yuan, thank you for appearing by my side. Let us walk hand in hand into your nineteenth year. Happy birthday. – Chen Xianshu”

This is a greeting card written by Chen Xian.

“I like this gift very much, and I will use my camera to capture all our beautiful moments in the future.”

Lan Yuan sat next to Shen Xian and couldn’t put it down, flipping through the photo album. They were all photos of herself taken by Shen Xian, all of herself in Shen Xian’s eyes and lens. Each photo was taken so peacefully over time.

Chen Xian smoothed Lan Yuan’s broken hair and said, “Okay!” His tone was gentle and doting.

Then Chen Xian put candles on the cake and put a birthday hat on Lan Yuan, “Now you can make a wish.”

Lan Yuan closed her eyes devoutly and clasped her hands together.

“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…” Shen Xian sang a happy birthday song to her in rhythm.

Lan Yuan blew out the candles while singing, and Chen Xian applauded her happily.

Lan Yuan stared at Shen Xian’s face, deliberately spread the cream on the tip of Shen Xian’s nose, and then hurried to the side!

Shen Xian can’t walk around much now, so he can only sit on the sofa and let Lan Yuan bully him.

“Okay, you, bully me while I’m not in good health, and see how I bully you when I get better.” Shen Xian put his hands on his hips and pointed at Lan Yuan who ran to the side, as if it’s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.

Seeing Shen Xian’s angry look, Lan Yuan found it very cute and returned to her side. He gently bit the tip of her nose with his mouth, licked off the cream just now, and blinked his big innocent eyes, “It’s very sweet.”

Chen Xian didn’t expect Lan Yuan to have such tricks, so his face turned red and he became shy.

“Are you still seeking revenge from me?” She deliberately leaned close to Shen Xian, staring straight at her and licking her lips with the tip of her tongue.
