The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 23

Chapter 23

“Ann, are you okay?” Lisa didn’t dare to come up and ask Shen Xian why he was angry.

“I’m fine. What’s wrong with me? I’ll take you back to the hotel.” Shen Xian smiled and spoke loudly, unusually loudly.

Seeing Shen Xian pretending to be fine, Lisa felt that something must be wrong with him: “It’s better… I’ll take you back home.”

The two pushed each other and finally decided to go back separately. Although Lisa was worried about Shen Xian, she couldn’t resist her and had no choice but to separate.

Before leaving, Lisa earnestly warned Shen Xian: “Ann, I hope you will always be free and happy. Goodbye.”

“You too, we will definitely meet again.” Shen Xian hugged Lisa tightly, his voice choked, trying not to shed tears.

Lisa came to Yangzhou this time to say goodbye. She had finished her tour and was going back to the UK to continue her studies in violin performance. In July this year, Lisa graduated from university and came to China. Now it’s time to go back.

Shen Xian and Lisa grew up together and went to the same school until college. They could really be called friends for more than ten years. They used to get along day and night and talk about everything, but now they are separated by mountains and seas. I really don’t know when we will see each other again, and I feel sad for a while.

It was late at night and the wind was heavy. Lan Yuan put on a white cloak and squatted in front of Shen Xian’s door. She hugged her legs tightly and placed the croissant she bought from the cake shop next to her.

Just now she specially asked Li Fangqing to take her to the bakery where Shen Xian frequented.

Along the way, sitting in a rickshaw and enjoying the cool breeze, Shen Xian felt half angry and half confused——

Is she angry because Lan Yuan lied?Or are you angry because Lan Yuan listens to the concert with other people?

Shen Xian felt that it was both, but if it was just the former, based on his usual interactions, Shen Xian felt that as a teacher, he would never be indifferent and scornful to his students. Instead, he would patiently persuade and teach attentively.

If it was the latter, Shen Xian felt that he couldn’t understand why he was like this. Lan Yuan had the right to make friends or go out to socialize. If he was unhappy because of it, he was really narrow-minded and disrespectful.

However, Shen Xian made another assumption. What if Lan Yuan was not making friends, but talking about the relationship between a man and a woman?

Chen Xian suddenly felt sour in her heart. She seemed to be unable to accept the idea of ​​Lan Yuan falling in love. Lan Yuan was only eighteen years old, which was too early.

But Chen Xian also feels that it is not just because she thinks Lan Yuan is young that Lan Yuan should not fall into love between a man and a woman.

She had a strange feeling that she couldn’t describe, an indescribable itching in her heart, as if there was a monster hiding in her heart, and she couldn’t live in peace.

The car stopped at Lan Mansion. Shen Xian stopped thinking and came to the yard. He found a blue kite that looked like a small rabbit sitting outside his door.

“You know it’s cold at night, why are you sitting here.” Shen Xian looked distressed, forgetting that he was still angry.

“Teacher Shen, you’re back!” Lan Yuan stood up immediately, resisting the numbness in her legs, and blinked her big eyes, which were sleepy and hazy from sitting for a long time. She looked at Lan Yuan affectionately with her wet eyes.

“Go back quickly and get some rest early.” Shen Xian decided not to pursue Lan Yuan’s lies until he figured it out.

Lan Yuan was prepared for Shen Xian to get angry, but now he was as gentle as a stream, but she was surprised.

Could it be that Teacher Shen is waiting for me to admit my mistake in person and give me a chance first?Blue Eyes guessed in his mind.

Since it is an opportunity, then seize it. Lan Yuan picked up the paper bag containing the croissants and handed it to Shen Xian: “This is the bread I bought for you at the bakery, Teacher Shen. I shouldn’t have lied to you. I’m sorry. The student is willing to let the teacher punish him.”

Chen Xian didn’t expect Lan Yuan to mention this matter first, so he followed her words and asked, “Then why did you deceive me?” His face was serious.

“Because…” Lan Yuan didn’t know what to say. She was afraid that she would make too many mistakes, so she silently lowered her head.

Chen Xian looked at Lan Yuan’s hesitation and hesitation and wondered if his words were too harsh just now and scared people: “Do you have something to hide?”

Chen Xian suddenly remembered that Lan Yuan did visit the Li family with her mother a few days ago. Li Fangqing was also named Li. Could it be that Lan Yuan was coerced by her mother.

“I…” Lan Yuan hesitated to say anything about cooperating with the acting, frowning in thought.

Chen Xian looked at Lan Yuan’s expression of bitterness and hatred, and felt that she had something unspeakable: “What is your relationship with Li Fangqing?”

Lan Yuan immediately raised her head, with big bright and clear eyes, and said decisively: “Stranger, I am not familiar with him at all.”

Shen Xian became puzzled when a gust of wind suddenly blew in the yard. Shen Xian was wearing thin clothes and felt cold. Then he remembered that the two of them were outside, fearing that they would be caught by the wind and cold the next day, so he immediately opened the door and brought people into the house to talk.

“Stranger? Would you attend a concert with a stranger?” Shen Xian sneered, feeling that this person didn’t even draft a lie.

“Teacher Shen, I swear to God, I’m not familiar with Li Fangqing.” Lan Yuan raised her hand.

“Would you attend a concert with someone you don’t know well?” Moreover, Shen Xian remembered that they visited the orphanage together, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

“Teacher Shen,” Lan Yuan’s tone was full of coquettishness. She didn’t understand why Teacher Shen just didn’t want to believe that she and Li Fangqing were strangers. She was so anxious that she almost burst into tears.

“You don’t believe me.” Lan Yuan’s words were full of grievance.

Chen Xian felt that Lan Yuan was a bit sophistical. She didn’t give an explanation in the first place, but now she blamed herself.

Besides, I didn’t doubt Lan Yuan, I just wanted to know the reason why they attended the concert together.

“I believe you are strangers, but let’s think about it for a moment. I went to a concert with a stranger and hid it from you. Don’t you want to know the reason?” Shen Xian pretended to be aggrieved.

“I want to know.” Lan Yuan nodded.

“So, please answer me, why…you…went to the concert together?” Shen Xian patted Lan Yuan on the shoulder.

Lan Yuan held her forehead and sighed. It turned out that Shen Xian’s comparison was just a lie, and she could only tell the truth: “Actually, he is my blind date, and my mother and his mother want to match us up.”

Shen Xian just picked up the cup and was about to drink water. When he heard this, his hand shook and half of the water spilled on the table.

Lan Yuan quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped the table.

Chen Xian had assumed that the two might be in love, but hearing Lan Yuan admit it in person was another matter. Sourness and bitterness surged and mixed in his heart.

“You… are still young, not yet ready to talk about marriage.” Shen Xian coughed twice to hide the “monster” in his heart.

“But don’t worry, I don’t like him at all, and we will never interact with each other again. Today is actually a drama.” Lan Yuan took Chen Xian’s arm and deliberately got close.

Seeing Shen Xian’s sad expression after hearing about her blind date, Lan Yuan didn’t want to hide it anymore and explained the whole story clearly.

“So, you are here to expand the orphanage. I never expected that Li Fangqing was so righteous.” After listening to Lan Yuan’s words, Shen Xian finally understood everything that had happened in the past few days, and his impression of Li Fangqing changed.

“You only think that Li Fangqing has righteousness, but I don’t? The credit belongs to others, and I made the wedding dress in vain.” Lan Yuan pretended to be aggrieved and acted coquettishly towards Chen Xian.

“You are better than Guanyin Bodhisattva! Better than any of the gods and Buddhas in your temple!” Shen Xian said seriously, his eyes full of appreciation and respect for Lan Yuan.

Lan Yuan is slowly growing up out of sight, and is really becoming a better person. Shen Xian is happy from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, Lan Yuan just admitted personally that she doesn’t like Li Fangqing, which is a great thing. Shen Xian feels that this is even happier than being admitted to the music conservatory.

“I can’t compare to Guanyin, I just want to be an ordinary person.” Lan Yuan said softly.

As an ordinary person who can join hands with you, Guanyin can save all sentient beings. Lan Yuan only wants to stay with Shen Xian for a lifetime.

“But…” Shen Xian pretended to be serious and coughed twice, “You should be punished for cheating on me today.”

Lan Yuan lowered the corners of her mouth. She obviously did a good thing, so why should she be punished?

“Although you have good intentions, you shouldn’t lie to me. Even if you really say it, I won’t object.” Shen Xian explained seriously.

“Okay,” Lan Yuan fiddled with the handkerchief on the table and folded it into a square shape, “How will the teacher punish me?”

Chen Xian moved forward and approached Lan Yuan. The distance between the two noses was less than one centimeter: “I want to kiss you on the cheek, is that okay?”

“What?” Lan Yuan felt that she was hallucinating, and her heart was beating rapidly. It was unbelievable. What kind of punishment was this?

After two seconds, he realized what he was doing, his face turned slightly red, and he promised Shen Xian in a low voice: “Yes…it’s okay.”

Shen Xian lifted Lan Yuan’s chin with his hand and pressed it against it. He moved gently and slowly, just like the last time in Lan Yuan’s room. He moved left and right, then stepped back to the previous distance, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his eyes were blurred.

Lan Yuan’s chin still retained the residual warmth of Shen Xian’s cold fingers. She savored the intimate contact just now. Shen Xian’s skin was very smooth and felt delicate and tender when pressed against it. It was very comfortable and enjoyable. She even wished that time would stop at the moment they touched.

Chen Xian still felt unsatisfied: “Did you know that my mother taught me to use another way to say hello to others?”

“In what way?” Lan Yuan’s eyes were also confused, and she was led by Shen Xian.

“That’s it.” Shen Xian demonstrated in person.

She approached Lan Yuan again, her heartbeat speeding up, and she gently left a kiss on Lan Yuan’s right cheek.

Lan Yuan blushed completely when she realized what Chen Xian had just done. Shen Xian actually kissed her?

Is this really a way to say hello?Or take advantage of the opportunity?Lan Yuan is puzzled.

“Chen Xian, is this really your greeting?” Although Lan Yuan was happy that Chen Xian kissed her, she thought that if this was a greeting, wouldn’t Chen Xian have kissed many people?

Shen Xian was speechless at the moment. She only realized how ridiculous her behavior was after the kiss. Although it was true that her mother often kissed her, Shen Xian was very sure that she was just taking advantage of Lan Yuan in the name of saying hello.

Moreover, Lan Yuan has not been influenced by British culture, so such a move is too presumptuous. Although the moment she kissed her, she felt that the monster in her heart was no longer causing trouble, but now the monster is running around in her body.

“That’s right, but I did it because we were very intimate.” Shen Xian covered his face and lowered his head to speak.

“Then…how many people have you kissed?” Lan Yuan was afraid that she was just one of them.

“It’s just you and my mother.” Shen Xian answered this question seriously.
