The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 16

Chapter 16

There was warm water in the basin. Jasmine wetted the towel and wrung it out to wipe the sleeping Shen Xian’s body.

“I’ll do it.” Lan Yuan took the towel from Jasmine’s hand. She didn’t want anyone else to touch Chen Xian.

Jasmine saw that Shen Xian’s forehead was covered with sweat and his whole body smelled of powder and alcohol, “Miss, you are not suitable for this kind of rough work, so let me do it.”

“It’s nothing.” Lan Yuan wiped Chen Xian’s face first, “You can go out first.”

After all, the area to be wiped next was not suitable for Jasmine to look at.

Jasmine could only exit the room and close the door obediently. It was obvious that the young lady’s thoughts were revealed, she was too possessive, and now she even started to do the dirty work.

I’m sorry, Teacher Shen.” Lan Yuan, feeling guilty about offending Shen Xian, silently apologized to others in her heart.

The fingers with sharp bones fell on Shen Xian’s neck, and he patiently and gently unbuttoned the first button. Lan Yuan held her breath, feeling very uneasy.

Taking off someone’s clothes feels more difficult than climbing to the sky, and it’s embarrassing, but after taking the first step, it feels much better.

Lan Yuan calmly unbuttoned the second button, but the row of clear tooth marks on Shen Xian’s white skin frightened her again, and made people wonder what happened to Shen Xian in Nanjing.

Her hands were shaking slightly, and Lan Yuan didn’t dare to continue unbuttoning her buttons. She was afraid that there would be more traces hidden under Shen Xian’s collarbone. Although she was inexperienced, she had heard about things going on between the beds.

The marks on Chen Xian’s neck were most likely due to skin-to-skin contact. Shen Xian had obviously admitted that he was single, so how could something like this happen to someone else? Or was it that Shen Xian had a physiological need in this regard, or that someone was flirting with Shen Xian.

Lan Yuan suddenly felt very uncomfortable when she thought that she had just kissed Chen Xian, and that Shen Xian might have done such a thing with someone else last night.

But now that the person was in a coma, all the suspicions may not be true. Lan Yuan couldn’t help but get rid of the messy thoughts in her mind. Taking care of the patients was the most important thing to do at hand. She would wait until Shen Xian woke up to do the rest.

She continued to unbutton the heavy string, but all she could see was delicate, smooth skin with fragrant sweat, undulating chest and flat abdomen full of temptation. She didn’t look like she had experienced human affairs, so what was the bite mark on her neck?

Lan Yuan was too embarrassed to take off her underwear for Shen Xian, so she simply wiped her upper body and put on a pair of pajamas and called it a day.

Shen Xian’s forehead continued to be sweaty, and he was not honest even when he was sleeping, and even kicked the quilt. Lan Yuan had to cover Shen Xian with the quilt again and again, and then wiped his body every once in a while.

Shen Xian showed no sign of waking up, so Lan Yuan quietly moved the bench to Shen Xian’s bed and stood there quietly, holding a paper fan to gently blow the air for him. In summer, the temperature is high, and a little wind will make sleeping more comfortable.

In the afternoon, there are occasional calls of cicadas in the yard, which is quiet and peaceful.

Chen Xian’s sleep talk broke the tranquility——

“Let me go, let me go, don’t come over, don’t touch me.”Chen Xian’s hands moved wildly, resisting Xu Ziyu hard in his dream, trying to push her away from him.

Lan Yuan immediately stood up to see Shen Xian’s condition. She could understand Shen Xian’s sleep talk, and combined with the traces on Shen Xian’s body, she already knew what terrible thing Shen Xian had experienced yesterday. Although the person who bullied Shen Xian failed, he deserved to die.

Suddenly, Chen Xian became more excited, and Lan Yuan couldn’t understand what he said.

Shen Xian shouted in English, “Dad, Mom, save me,” and opened his hands eager to catch his parents.

But Lan Yuan could understand body movements. She grabbed Shen Xian’s hand and lay in Shen Xian’s arms. She kept stroking her head as if comforting a child and patted her shoulders, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. I’m here and I’ll always be there.””

This move actually worked. Shen Xian stopped mumbling, clasped Lan Yuan’s waist tightly with both hands, and kept sucking the scent of Lan Yuan. This scent made her feel safe, and she found a safe haven in her dreams, where she could hide from Xu Ziyu.

Lan Yuan’s heart tightened and she couldn’t move. Shen Xian’s breath hit her face, making her heart beat wildly.

Lan Yuan tried to break away from the embrace. She knew that she was not someone who could sit still and was afraid of an accident.

But she didn’t expect that Shen Xian was still very strong even if he had a fever. The more he struggled, the tighter he was held. Helpless Lan Yuan had no choice but to lie quietly on Shen Xian’s body and recite Buddhist scriptures silently in his mind.

The weather in summer is cloudy and sunny, and it is still sunny in front of us. Now it suddenly starts raining, pattering on the ground, the music of nature.

There was no light in the room, and it was very dark. Lan Yuan listened to the sound of rain and carried Buddhist scriptures on her back. Her abnormal heartbeat became normal. In addition, she had wasted too much energy just taking care of Shen Xian, so she fell asleep in a daze, hugged tightly by Shen Xian.

Until the evening, the two of them were woken up by Jasmine’s door opening at the same time.

When Jasmine saw the two people clinging to each other, she knew that she had ruined the young lady’s good deeds, so she immediately closed the door and ran away.

She swore to God that she was just worried about the young lady and wanted to check on the young lady. After all, the young lady had been in Shen Xian’s room all afternoon.

When Shen Xian opened his eyes, he found someone lying in his arms, and he immediately shrank to one side in fear. Lan Yuan found herself lying in Shen Xian’s arms, and was so shocked that she immediately started playing, resenting that she had frightened Shen Xian because of her snooze.

“Teacher Shen, don’t get me wrong, nothing happened to us.”After Lan Yuan said this, she felt that this sentence was redundant. Such words between two women were trying to cover up.

Shen Xian had already realized that his clothes were not the ones from yesterday, so he held the quilt in front of him to block himself, “You…changed the clothes for me?”

“Yes, you have a fever and your clothes are soaked. I’ll help you change into another one.”

Chen Xian breathed a sigh of relief, then thought of Lan Yuan looking at his body, feeling very embarrassed, “Thank you, did I…did I cause you any trouble?”

“It’s not bad.”Lan Yuan feels that anything related to Shen Xian is not troublesome.

Shen Xian held his forehead. The movement was too big just now, and now it hurts again.

“You still have a fever.” Lan Yuan touched Shen Xian’s forehead, “You need to take more antipyretics, drink more water, and rest more.”

After talking about taking the antipyretic medicine, Lan Yuan inexplicably remembered that she had given Chen Xian the medicine by mouth. She felt embarrassed and quickly got out of bed, “I asked Jasmine to tell the kitchen to cook some rice for you and bring it to you later.”

“Okay, thank you.”Chen Xian said, he had not been cared for like this for a long time since he left home, and he felt very grateful.

“You’re welcome, please rest first.”Lan Yuan left the room and closed the door.

Shen Xian was lying on the bed, his collarbone still aching, and he couldn’t get rid of those bad memories in his mind.

She still remembered that she had a nightmare in which she dreamed of her parents. She seemed to regard Lan Yuan as her mother, so she kept her in her arms.

But now that Lan Yuan had changed her clothes, she probably saw the marks on her collarbone. Shen Xian was wondering if she should explain. She was afraid that Lan Yuan would think that she was a romantic person.

For some reason, she was just afraid that Lan Yuan would misunderstand something.

Xu Ziyu, Shen Xian recited this name silently in his heart. Does she like herself?Do you like a woman?Does liking mean forcing or possessing?

Shen Xian had never thought about this kind of relationship between women before. She even said that she never cared about love. Whether it was a man or a woman, Shen Xian had never been attracted to anyone or had any special thoughts about anyone.

I am twenty years old and this is the first time I have considered the question of love. What is love?

The knock on the door broke Shen Xian’s thoughts——

“Teacher Shen, let me bring you food.”Lan Yuan spoke outside the door.

Chen Xian opened the door with light steps.

Lan Yuan opened the food box and took out two plates of side dishes and a bowl of porridge, “Let’s eat something first.”

Shen Xian obediently drank the porridge slowly and looked particularly gentle and delicate.

There are three-thirds of the disease strands hanging on her face, and her complexion is slightly pale, but her facial features are so delicate, she is a sickly beauty. I really feel pity for Shen Xian’s face. This is what Lan Yuan thinks when she watches people eating.

“Don’t misunderstand the mark on my collarbone, I was accidentally bitten by a dog.” Shen Xian put down the bowl and said these words. While eating, she was thinking about how to explain it. It seemed that no matter how she explained it, she couldn’t explain it well, so she just told the truth. Xu Ziyu was indeed like a mad dog.

“I didn’t get it wrong.” Lan Yuan looked calm. She knew that Shen Xian was bullied, and it was too late to feel distressed. There was no misunderstanding.

“That’s good.” Chen Xian said softly.

“After half an hour, take fever-reducing medicine.” Lan Yuan pushed the medicine bottle to Shen Xian, “Just take one piece.”

“Okay, thank you.”Chen Xian touched the medicine bottle, and his fingers touched the brown glass bottle, which looked particularly beautiful.

Lan Yuan put the plate back into the food box, and Shen Xian hurried over to help.

“Have you… ever been in love?Lan Yuan suddenly asked, her hands happened to touch the same plate as Shen Xian’s, and their two hands were pressed together tightly.

“Never talked about it.” Chen Xian denied it, picked up the plate first and put it in the food box.

Lan Yuan’s hand was scratched by Shen Xian, and a numbing feeling spread throughout her body along with those words, and she felt inexplicably happy.

Maybe that time when she was given the medicine was really Shen Xian’s first kiss.

“Aren’t Westerners free in love?Teacher Shen, have you never liked anyone?”Lanyuan is in a good mood and talks more.

“What about you, do you like anyone else?”Chen Xian smiled and transferred the question to Lan Yuan.

I’m falling in love with you, Lan Yuan said in her heart, but she didn’t dare to admit it, “I just want to play the piano and be a good student.”Don’t say whether you like the person or not, just say that you want to play the piano and express your love in a subtle way.

“Actually, we almost talked about it before, there was a guy who chased me for five or six years.”After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Shen Xian continued to sit down and talk about the past.

Lan Yuan showed a curious look, but she almost talked about it, which meant that she didn’t talk about it. Lan Yuan also wanted to hear the story behind it.

“It’s not suitable for children, I won’t tell you.”Chen Xian knocked Lan Yuan’s head, thinking it was fun to tease Lan Yuan.

“I’m eighteen, I’m old enough to be a mother, and I can listen.”Lan Yuan was joking, but she was telling the truth. Many of her peers were married and are now pregnant.

“I won’t tell you.”Chen Xian rolled his eyes arrogantly and pouted his mouth like a child.
