The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 10

Chapter 10

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor briefly treated Shen Xian’s wounds and prescribed some burn ointment to remind Shen Xian to apply it every day.

Lan Yuan stared at the red and swollen area, still worried, “Can I just apply some medicine?”

The doctor professionally told Lan Yuan: “The patient’s burn is not very serious, and it has been treated with a cold towel when he came to the hospital. Then he will apply medicine regularly and it will be cured in a week.”

After leaving the consulting room, Lan Yuan looked at Shen Xian’s red and swollen area. Even though the doctor said it was not serious, she still couldn’t help but blame herself.

If Chen Xian had not played the piano for her at that time, Su Wan would not have been able to pour water on Shen Xian’s hands, and Shen Xian would not have been burned.

“I’m sorry, Teacher Shen, I hurt you.” Lan Yuan stood in the corridor of the hospital and apologized to Shen Xian.

“What harm did you do to me?” Shen Xian touched Lan Yuan’s head tenderly, “It has nothing to do with you. There is no need to blame yourself. I know love and hate, and I can also tell right from wrong. I can also see your difficulties today.”

“But if I was the one playing the piano, maybe your hands wouldn’t be burned.” Lan Yuan would rather be the one injured. She thought she could save her by putting Shen Xian behind her, but in the end, it was Shen Xian who kept standing up for herself.

“Su Wan’s purpose has been against me from the beginning. No matter what we do, that bowl of hot tea will be poured on my hand.” Shen Xian has already seen through Su Wan’s purpose.

Indeed, Lan Yuan could also see that Su Wan was here for Shen Xian this time. Although Su Wan was usually arrogant, she had never been as mean as she is today. In the final analysis, Lan Zhi was the culprit.However, Lan Yuan also marveled at Shen Xian’s insight. The authorities who had no idea why could break the situation so quickly.

“She insulted me and she should have relieved her hatred. She probably won’t do anything excessive in the future. Moreover, I didn’t show mercy and scolded her severely.” Shen Xian comforted Lan Yuan.

Lan Yuan remembered Shen Xian’s sharp tongue at that time, and smiled, feeling desolate in her heart. She felt that she was too smart before, and Shen Xian didn’t need her own protection. She could obviously take charge of it on her own, and it was a good thing if she didn’t drag Shen Xian down.

“Let’s go home.” Lan Yuan said to Shen Xian.

“Okay, I happen to be hungry too. Aunt Li should have already prepared the meal.” Shen Xian touched his stomach and strode towards the door of the hospital.

Lan Yuan couldn’t help but envy Shen Xian when he looked at Shen Xian who seemed to be in no pain at all. She would never be able to learn from such open-mindedness and cheerfulness.

When the car arrived at the entrance of Lan Mansion, Lan Yuan took Shen Xian’s left hand and prevented anyone from getting out of the car.

“You don’t have to go to the kitchen to eat, come to my room to eat.”

After Lan Yuan finished speaking, she opened the door and got out of the car without giving Shen Xian a chance to refuse.

Chen Xian followed Lan Yuan unhurriedly.

Lan Yuan heard the sound of leather shoes scraping the ground and knew that Shen Xian was behind her. She was very happy along the way because she knew that she could see her favorite person when she looked back.

The two sat down around the dining table, and Jasmine and the other servants arranged the dishes. After serving the dishes, Jasmine quickly took the servants and left together.

Today’s dishes – steamed eggs, braised shrimps, mushrooms and chicken, stir-fried vegetables, plus a pig’s trotter soup.

Shen Xian looked at the sumptuous food on the table, her appetite increased. She picked up the chopsticks and realized how inconvenient it was. It had taken her several months to practice using chopsticks with her right hand, but now it was impossible for her to learn to use chopsticks with her left hand in three seconds.

Suddenly, a spoon was handed to Shen Xian. There was a shrimp on the spoon of rice.

“I know Teacher Shen has difficulty eating, so I just invited you over for dinner. I’ll feed you.” Lan Yuan put the spoon to Shen Xian’s lips and stared at Shen Xian.

Shen Xian could only open his mouth and eat silently, feeling inexplicably that he had been caught in the middle of a tiger’s mouth.

“I can’t use chopsticks with my left hand. Actually… I can use a spoon. I… can… eat by myself.” Shen Xian swallowed the mouthful of rice and tentatively communicated with Lan Yuan, cautiously.

“Then do it yourself.”

Lan Yuan pushed all the bowls and spoons in front of Shen Xian.

The dinner table suddenly fell into indifference, and the chill came entirely from Lan Yuan. Without saying a word, she moved the plate of braised shrimps in front of her, then peeled them silently, placing the shells on the plate and the shrimp meat in a clean empty bowl.

Chen Xian looked at the solid air and the indifferent Lan Yuan, and he didn’t dare to eat with a spoon. He might as well eat in the kitchen with Aunt Li, at least as he pleased.

Suddenly, Lan Yuan began to sob, and her tears fell into the rice.

“I feel bad because of your burn, and I want to do something for you, but you refuse. It seems that I am useless and can’t help you.” Lan Yuan tried her best to hold back her tears. She must feed Shen Xian this meal today.

Chen Xian was caught off guard by Lan Yuan’s emotional breakdown, “I…I…I’m afraid of causing trouble to you, so don’t cry.”

“You can’t peel the shrimp with one hand, I’ve taken care of that for you, go ahead and eat.” Lan Yuan looked up at Shen Xian with tears on her face, and moved the bowl of shrimps in front of Shen Xian, making a complete set of the bitter meat trick.

Where would Shen Xian dare to eat?She wanted to kneel down to Lan Yuan and beg for forgiveness, “I was wrong, you are not useless, I need you.” Although she didn’t know where she went wrong, it was always right to apologize first.

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Lan Yuan’s mouth, “Then if you let me feed, I won’t feel so uncomfortable.” Of course, it was not all a trick. Lan Yuan’s acting skills were not that good. Although he did not cause Shen Xian to get burned, it was also related to his negligence of Su Wan’s attack, so he kept blaming himself in his heart, and cried as he thought about it.

“Okay.” Shen Xian nodded obediently.

Lan Yuan was calm on the surface but happy in her heart. She wiped her hands clean when peeling shrimps and fed Shen Xian calmly, one mouthful after another.

“You should eat some too, otherwise the food will get cold.” Shen Xian reminded.

“I’m not hungry, the teacher is pretty and delicious.” Lan Yuan relaxed for a moment and blurted out, but regretted it after saying it.

Chen Xian’s face turned red when he heard this.

“Students shouldn’t joke around and ask the teacher to punish them.” Lan Yuan quickly made amends.

“Forget it, it was just a compliment, so it’s harmless.” Shen Xian felt that such a blue kite was also very cute.

In the evening, Lan Yuan did not wait for Shen Xian to have dinner, and felt empty when looking at the food on the table.

Sure enough, Shen Xian only compromised temporarily at noon, and the bitter plan could last for a while, but not for a lifetime.Lan Yuan sneered, Shen Xian didn’t say he was coming for dinner tonight, he was just being sentimental, so he simply asked Jasmine to withdraw the meal.

Chen Xian went to Aunt Li’s place for dinner. She felt that she couldn’t always let Lan Yuan, a young lady, take care of her every day. It would be too troublesome for her.

However, Aunt Li was not as meticulous as Lan Yuan. She mixed the vegetables and rice directly, gave Shen Xian a spoon and asked her to eat with her left hand, “If you can’t use chopsticks, a spoon will definitely do.” She dropped these words and left.

While eating the sticky vegetable rice, Shen Xian felt sad. She actually didn’t like rice and vegetables mixed together, but she had to bow her head when she was under the eaves.

Lan Yuan, who couldn’t eat, went directly to Lan Zhi, the initiator of everything.

Lan Zhi was taking a maid to drink and have fun in the yard. Lan Yuan felt disgusted when she saw this scene.

“Brother.” Lan Yuan coughed.

Lan Zhi looked up at Lan Yuan.

Taking advantage of Lan Zhi’s weakened hand, the maid immediately broke free and ran out of Lan Zhi’s yard.

“What do you want from me?” Lan Zhi walked up to Lan Yuan holding the wine glass.

“Brother, please don’t have any ideas about Teacher Shen. I don’t want my brother’s whim to ruin my teacher’s life.” Lan Yuan spoke righteously and said coldly.

After leaving these words, he left without looking back.

Lan Zhi was surprised. This was the first time that the calm and gentle sister in his impression had such mood swings, and it was for an outsider.

The kind and kind elder brother in her childhood was no longer around. Lan Yuan suddenly felt that somewhere in her heart was broken and could never be restored.

But now that most of the space in her heart was occupied by Shen Xian, Lan Yuan did not fall into pain and sadness because she and her brother were no longer the same.

From the very beginning, Lan Yuan knew that she was attracted to Shen Xian and fell in love with this pianist whose background was unknown.

The quiet and secluded eighteen years were suddenly illuminated by a dazzling light. Lan Yuan just wanted to work hard regardless of her own safety. She tried to be in love and stop being polite, but she couldn’t do it at all. Shen Xian’s every move attracted her.

Not everyone can be so lucky to meet such a new, bright, and different person. Lan Yuan is very grateful for her good luck.

“Turn your elbows outward.” Lan Zhi was fed up with Lan Yuan like this and spat on the ground, “Bah.”

When Shen Xian came back from dinner at Aunt Li’s place, he happened to meet Lan Yuan who was returning from his brother’s residence.

“Good evening.” Shen Xian greeted.

“Is the food in my room not to your liking? Teacher is going to eat elsewhere.” Lan Yuan said with sarcasm.

“No, no,” Shen Xian quickly defended, “Didn’t you say that I could come over to eat tonight?” He pushed the pot to Lan Yuan.

You can’t say it in front of Jasmine because you don’t want to be fed by Lan Yuan anymore. No matter how thick-skinned Shen Xian is, he can’t say it out loud.

“Respecting teachers is a fine tradition. I won’t ask the teacher to come. If the teacher comes to eat with me, I won’t chase him away. Besides, the teacher is in trouble and his hands are inconvenient. As a student, I should try my best to just feed the students. If the students do nothing, that’s the worst. Can the teacher bear to see the students be in disgrace for eternity?” Lan Yuan said with awe-inspiring righteousness, and her eloquence was comparable to that of contemporary Gongsun Long.

Feeding?Jasmine suddenly felt that she knew a huge secret. Miss and Teacher Shen…

Shen Xian was shocked. Can such things as feeding be discussed outside?Covering his face with his hands, he felt that his reputation was completely gone.

“I can’t bear it.” Shen Xian didn’t want to resist at all. Lan Yuan usually didn’t talk much. At the critical moment, he was more powerful than a machine gun and couldn’t resist.

Jasmine looked at Shen Xian who was stunned for a moment after being fooled, and deeply admired the young lady’s eloquence.

“That’s the case, come to my place for dinner before the teacher gets better, and you can’t skip a meal.” Lan Yuan cleared her throat and said.

“Okay.” Shen Xian nodded seriously. Only after he agreed did he realize how outrageous this was.

Lan Yuan was satisfied when she heard the answer she wanted to hear.

“Teacher, take a rest early and recover well. See you at breakfast tomorrow.” Lan Yuan waved and said goodbye to Shen Xian.

Love is soy milk and fried dough sticks, love is milk bread, love is sweet and sour pork ribs, love is rice wine dumplings, love is fried crab with rice cakes, love is… love is what Chen Xian and Lan Yuan ate together for a whole week.
