The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Half a month later, Mrs. Li suddenly made an appointment with Lan Yuan to go to a restaurant for dinner alone.

Lan Yuan wanted to refuse, but succumbed to her mother’s pressure and had to go to the appointment.

When she arrived at the restaurant, she was ushered into the private room by the waiter. Lan Yuan then discovered that there was a young man sitting next to Mrs. Li. He looked as uninterested as herself. She felt happy and guessed that this person was Li Fangqing.

“Lan Yuan has met my aunt.” Lan Yuan was as polite and considerate as ever.

“Come and sit down next to Auntie.” Mrs. Li invited Lan Yuan to sit on her right: “Let me introduce you. This is my son Fang Qing. Fang Qing, this is Lan Yuan, the youngest daughter of the Lan family, whom I told you.”

Li Fangqing has been sitting next to her mother and has not even raised her head to look at Lan Yuan. Lan Yuan did not feel offended. This is best.

“Hello, Master Li.” Lan Yuan also felt that it was best for Li Fangqing to remain rude, which just fulfilled her idea of ​​not wanting to get married. There was no need to fight at the moment, and they would naturally disperse after eating.

“Mom, let’s eat. I’m hungry. Some people don’t make people wait for so long next time. Being late is not a virtue.” Li Fangqing ignored Lan Yuan’s greetings. Her tone was full of blame for Lan Yuan, and she just lowered her head to pick up vegetables and eat.

“Fang Qing, please don’t be rude. Whether your father will pay you the investment fees you need depends on your performance today.” Mrs. Li smiled and whispered to her son, then turned her head to Lan Yuan: “I asked him to get up early today.I’m a little angry now. Don’t mind Lan Yuan. I’m familiar with the owner of this place and I should go say hello.You two should eat for a while and I’ll be back later.” Mrs. Li hurriedly found an excuse and left the table in a hurry, wanting the two of them to be alone.

“I heard that Master Li is studying in the UK. How are the customs and customs in the UK?” Lan Yuan was curious about what the place where Shen Xian lived was like.

Li Fangqing finally looked up at Lan Yuan because of the investment fee. The girl in front of her was very beautiful, but she was determined not to choose a traditional woman: “It’s more open than Yangzhou. I heard that you can play the piano?”

“I know a little bit, mainly because my teacher teaches well and she also grew up in England.” Lan Yuan thought of Shen Xian, her eyes widening.

Li Fangqing was sitting uneasily at this moment. Seeing Lan Yuan’s nymphomaniac look, she was afraid that she was interested in him. She felt that she couldn’t be polite anymore, so she went straight to the point: “Miss Lan, I apologize for the rudeness just now. I tell the truth, my mother forced me to come here today. I can’t marry you, but I need you to cooperate with me in a play. Are you willing?”

“I don’t want to. It just so happens that I don’t like you either, so let’s get together and part ways.” Lan Yuan wanted to get up and leave. Every second she spent here was unbearable. Since Li Fangqing had no interest in it, she had already explained it to her mother when she went back, so she had no worries.

“Maybe Miss Lan, you are so pampered that you don’t know the suffering in the world. If you help me get this money, do you know how many homeless children can be saved?” Li Fangqing was anxious. He was really afraid of losing the money.

“Why should I care about this?” Lan Yuan asked.

“Those abandoned children also have the right to live. Every life is equal and deserves to be well cared for. Miss Lan has also read books. You must have read the book about caring for the country and the people. We are lucky to be born in a wealthy family. I believe you must have heard of the principle of good governance and benefiting the world.” Li Fangqing spoke impassionedly.

equality?Listening to Li Fangqing’s words, Lan Yuan remembered that Shen Xian had said that all living beings were equal a long time ago, and she suddenly became curious about what Li Fangqing was doing.

“Miss Lan, maybe going to a place with me will give you a more realistic understanding.” Li Fangqing suggested.

Lan Yuan agreed to Li Fangqing’s request, and Li Fangqing drove her to Lantian Orphanage.

After getting off the bus, a staff member came to receive them.

“Hello Mr. Li, long time no see!” An elegant middle-aged woman said hello to Li Fangqing.

“Hello, dean, this is a friend of mine, just call me Miss Lan. Today I want the dean to take us to visit the orphanage.” Li Fangqing took the initiative to introduce Lan Yuan who was standing aside.

“Hello, Miss Lan.” The dean bowed his head slightly to Lan Yuan.

“Hello, Dean, there’s no need to be so polite.” Lan Yuan bowed her head in return.

Dean Yang led the way for the two of them, first visiting the places where children normally attend classes, then the dormitories, canteens and other places.

Outside the classroom just now, Lan Yuan could see the children who were studying seriously through the glass. Their eyes were shining and focused, and she couldn’t help feeling happy and sympathetic towards them in her heart.

Some children’s clothes are full of patches, and some children are holding books with most of their arms exposed. It is late autumn, and many children do not have decent shoes.

“It’s two o’clock in the afternoon, and some children happen to be having an activity class on the playground. Miss Lan, would you like to talk to the children?”

“Excuse me, Dean.”

As soon as Lan Yuan walked to the playground, she saw a familiar figure——

Shen Xian was actually playing with a group of children.

She and a group of children were playing the game of eagle catching chicken.

“Children, Mother Chicken will protect you, don’t be afraid!” Shen Xian shouted at the front of a group of children, making a protective gesture.

The little boy opposite played the role of an eagle and attacked one after another, but was perfectly avoided by Shen Xian.

Li Fangqing noticed that the corners of Lan Yuan’s mouth turned up a lot.

“Children,” the dean interrupted the group of people who were playing games: “There is a Miss Lan who also wants to play with you. Can she join you?”

Miss Lan?When Shen Xian heard what the dean said, he suddenly thought of Lan Yuan. There weren’t many people named Lan. It couldn’t be such a coincidence, right?

Looking back, I was very surprised to see that it was really Lan Yuan. Then I saw a young man standing next to Lan Yuan, and the surprise in my eyes was reduced by half.

“Why are you here suddenly?” Shen Xian said with a smile.

“Why are you here?” Lan Yuan walked up to Chen Xian and asked.

“I have nothing to do in the afternoon on weekdays. I come here to take care of the children when I have time.” Shen Xian replied.

A group of children looked at Teacher Shen and then at Miss Lan introduced by the dean, their big eyes full of doubts.

“The teacher never told me.” Lan Yuan said with a hint of complaint in her tone, feeling that Shen Xian was hiding more and more things from her.

“This is not…actually…I only come here occasionally.” Shen Xian scratched his head and didn’t know how to explain it. Lan Yuan now looked like a serious teacher who tortured his students, and he was a little scared for no reason.

“Teacher Shen, class is about to end, can we continue playing games?” A little girl interrupted the two of them.

“Of course.” Shen Xian bent down and said to the girl.

“So Sister Lan, what do you want to play?” the little girl turned around and asked Lan Yuan.

“Eagle.” Lan Yuan said to the little girl with a smile.

The little boy gave up the role of the eagle to the blue kite and walked to the back of the line to play the chicken.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let Sister Lan catch you.” Shen Xian said confidently.

The words “Sister Lan” in the tone were particularly beautiful, and Lan Yuan liked it very much.

“Don’t talk too much.” Lan Yuan smoothed her sleeves and made a grabbing gesture.

But every time Lan Yuan stepped forward, he was blocked by Chen Xian.

Of course, Lan Yuan didn’t miss every time. Occasionally she threw herself into Shen Xian’s arms, a few times by accident and several times on purpose. Her forehead accidentally touched Shen Xian’s rising and falling chest, making her blush and feel embarrassed.

Just lowering her head to hide her expression, Lan Yuan ignored Shen Xian, who was sitting in his arms calmly because he threw himself into his arms. The man’s face also looked strange.

After playing for several rounds, Blue Kite failed to catch a chick, and the children were dismissed from class.

“Sister Lan, why is your face so red?” a child said suddenly.

Only then did Chen Xian notice Lan Yuan’s red face: “Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

Naturally, Lan Yuan couldn’t admit that it was because she was shy when she met the young and beautiful Teacher Shen. “I rarely exercise on weekdays. Today I exercised more vigorously. I blushed due to exertion.”

“Drink some water and take a rest.” Shen Xian wanted to run and pour water for Lan Yuan.

But suddenly a little girl hugged Shen Xian’s thigh, “Teacher Shen,” the little girl blinked her big watery eyes, “it’s been two weeks since you promised to buy me the butterfly cake.”

Lan Yuan was jealous that this girl could hold Shen Xian’s thigh and have the opportunity to eat the snacks Shen Xian bought.

Shen Xian patted his forehead regretfully, knelt down and spoke to the little girl: very patiently: “I’m sorry, Xiaoxi, I forgot about it recently. But today I bought toffee for you all, and the dean will give it to you when you return to the classroom, but each person can only eat one per day, as more will cause tooth decay. Next time, the teacher will definitely buy you butterfly cakes, and will buy you a few more pieces, okay?”

“Okay, I like Teacher Shen the most. It would be great if Teacher Shen could come here every day.” The little girl kissed Shen Xian hard.

Lan Yuan was surprised, clenched her fists, and disliked the child even more.

“Xiao Xi, be good. The teacher will come when he has time. The teacher will have more time to accompany you in the future.” Shen Xian rubbed Xiao Xi’s head and kissed her gently.

Xiaoxi happily left the playground and returned to the classroom.

At this moment, Lan Yuan wished she could be twelve years younger and look like five years old again.

“Drink some water.” Li Fangqing handed Lan Yuan a glass of water out of politeness.

“Thank you, I’m not thirsty.” Lan Yuan rejected the man’s kindness, but thought that Shen Xian might be thirsty after attending physical education class for so long, so she took the water again.

“Teacher Shen, do you want some water?” Lan Yuan wanted to hand the water to Shen Xian.

“You drink first, then sit down and rest for a while.” Shen Xian took the cup from Lan Yuan’s hand and put it aside, then gave Lan Yuan the water she had just poured. She still remembered that Lan Yuan had just said that he was tired in the activity class.

Lan Yuan smiled unconsciously, drank the water obediently, and was taken to a chair in the playground by Shen Xian to sit down. She forgot about the dean and Li Fangqing who were watching them on the playground.

“Are you two old acquaintances?” The dean stepped forward and asked.

“Hello, Dean,” Shen Xian spoke first, “This is the student I mentioned in my piano class.”

“That’s it. Miss Lan, Teacher Shen is our volunteer teacher. She often comes to play the piano for the children or take them to activity classes. Teacher Shen is good-looking and has a good temper. All the children like her!” The dean said excitedly. Not only did the children like Shen Xian, the dean himself was also extremely happy with Shen Xian.

“Teacher Shen is indeed a rare and good teacher.” Lan Yuan echoed the dean’s words and gave Shen Xian a meaningful look. Sure enough, this person has a lot of love wherever he goes.
