The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 25

Chapter 25

“She is not a fool. She is a eldest lady in a deep house. She is so outrageous. Even if she doesn’t like you, she must have special feelings for you.” Hunter left room for his words, but in the end he did not say categorically that Lan Yuan’s every move was definitely out of love.

Of course Shen Xian hopes that Lan Yuan can like him, that they can connect with each other and stay together for the rest of their lives, but he feels that this is a selfish idea. If they get together, they will soon face the judgment of their parents, relatives and even society.

Chen Xian felt that he wouldn’t care about this, but Lan Yuan was different. She was a noble lady and should be supported and pampered. She shouldn’t have to go through this and be put on layer after layer of shackles. She shouldn’t make her already difficult life worse because of herself.

“Don’t worry so much. If you like someone, you have to think more about them, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop moving forward. If you are sure of your heart, don’t stop there. Be brave. What if there is a change?” Hunter saw the embarrassment in Shen Xian’s eyes and advised him bitterly.

“There is an old saying in China, everything depends on human effort. I only know that if you are timid, you will never get someone, and you will regret it later.” Hunter said sincerely. She did not want Shen Xian and Lan Yuan to miss each other in vain. Lovers should eventually get married.

Shen Xian listened carefully to Hunter’s words, everything depends on manpower, everything depends on manpower, everything depends on manpower. She repeated this sentence in her heart, even if there was a weak hope, she wanted to try, she wanted to pursue Lan Yuan seriously.Even if the time comes, it’s not too late to give up!

On the two ends of the scale, on the left is her imminent love for Lan Yuan, and on the right is the weight composed of worldliness and human relations. In the past few days, Shen Xian has been thinking about how to balance the two and find a balance.

But now, she resolutely took away those weights that were used as measuring standards, leaving the right side empty. She was willing to sink her love, regardless of everything.

It all depends on people. If you think this love is shameful, how can you impress Lan Yuan?Love is just love, and love cannot be judged. The acquired interference of society has led to the deformity of her previous subjective cognition. Now that she has woken up, she feels fearless. As for whether Lan Yuan will fall in love with herself, Shen Xian believes that sincerity will lead to success.

“And I’m curious about Robert’s reaction when he sees you bringing a girl home.” Hunter smiled evilly. Shen Xian’s father, Robert, doesn’t know if he can accept this romanticism, but he will help Shen Xian convince the old man when the time comes.

“Uncle, don’t laugh, you haven’t even made a single stroke yet.” Shen Xian knocked on Hunter’s bowl.

“Why don’t you go chase him overnight? There is a train back to Yangzhou tonight.” Hunter stared at Shen Xian, and he realized that the child had already made his decision.

“I think what you said makes sense.” Shen Xian couldn’t stop smiling, and his laughter was particularly brisk.

In the evening, Shen Xian was driven to the train station by Hunter.

Before leaving, Shen Xian asked the words that he had been holding in his heart. The words he said during lunch let Shen Xian know that Hunter was supportive of his love for women, which also made Shen Xian look at the old guy in front of him with admiration.

“Uncle, don’t you think I’m crazy? Because I like a woman.” Shen Xian pinched the corner of his clothes and looked solemn.

“Do you think you are crazy? Do you think you are abnormal?” Hunter asked with a smile. He knew what the child was worried about.

“No, I just like someone, and there’s nothing wrong with liking him.” Shen Xian thought for a few seconds and said firmly.

“Your answer is also what I want to say to you,” Hunter patted Chen Xian on the shoulder.

“But I still think you are a little crazy, but don’t worry, I will always stand by your side, no matter who you like. And if Lan Yuan dares to bully you, my uncle will come to her to talk to her and seek justice for you.” Hunter added.

“Thank you, uncle!” Shen Xian had tears in his eyes as he hugged this man who was like a father, brother and friend tightly and did not let go for a long time.

The roar of the train came from the distance, indicating that passengers were about to arrive at the station.

Hunter patted Shen Xian on the back: “Okay, I’m already twenty, and I’m still crying on my uncle’s shoulder. The car is coming. Go chase him!”

Shen Xian got on the train along with the crowd, and Hunter waved goodbye to her.

He is a single man, half of his body is buried in the ground, and he has no big ambitions or wishes in life. One of them is that this daughter-like child can be healthy and happy.

In the early morning of late autumn, Blue Kite got up early, walked in the yard and found a magpie sitting on the wintersweet tree, pecking at the branches and occasionally making mocking calls.

She was calculating the day for Shen Xian’s return bit by bit. One day, she would be able to see her again. The magpie came by chance today and must have known the good news.

The two days of longing were diluted by the magpie this morning and Chen Xian returning tomorrow. Lan Yuan felt happy and hurriedly went to the piano room alone to practice the music Shen Xian taught her before leaving. Chen Xian praised her for making rapid progress, but half a year was better than many who had practiced for more than a year. She must work harder to earn the praise from Chen Xian.

Chen Xian ran into the backyard with a bouquet of white roses in his hand. He only saw Jasmine pruning the wintersweet tree. This was the task Lan Yuan had just given her. Lan Yuan hoped that the winter plum blossoms would bloom more beautifully this winter.

“Where is Lan Yuan?” Shen Xian asked anxiously.

“Teacher Shen, aren’t you coming back tomorrow?” Jasmine was very surprised to see Shen Xian returning early.

“Where is your lady?” Shen Xian repeated the question anxiously. She wanted to see Lan Yuan immediately.

“In the piano room.” Jasmine pointed in the direction.

Chen Xian threw the suitcase casually on the ground and hurried to the piano room.

Listening to the sound of Lan Yuan’s piano, she felt that this man had made a lot of progress today, and she couldn’t wait to open the door.

Lan Yuan was surprised by Shen Xian’s sudden return. She stopped playing the piano and stood up: “Teacher Shen, you are back!” Her tone was full of happiness.

“Yes, I’m back.” Shen Xian stepped forward and hugged Lan Yuan tightly, using a hug to express the love that he could not speak for the time being.

Lan Yuan was surprised by Chen Xian’s enthusiasm, but she also liked the hug very much. She felt that Chen Xian was holding her waist tightly, so she hugged Chen Xian harder.

After a long time, the two finally let go of each other.

“Teacher Shen, is this also your greeting?” Lan Yuan meant the hug just now.

“Well…it’s kind of like that.” Shen Xian touched his nose to cover up his panic and insincere words.

“This bouquet of flowers is for you!” Shen Xian handed Lan Yuan the bouquet of white roses he bought at the flower shop. If she hadn’t waited for the flower shop to open, she would have come back earlier.

This was the second time Chen Xian sent flowers to herself. Lan Yuan remembered that the last time she sent her was a bouquet of peach blossoms. She carefully took the bouquet of flowers as if she had found a treasure: “Thank you, Teacher Shen.”

“You’re welcome, do you like flowers?” Shen Xian asked.

“I like it. What I look forward to seeing most every year is the wintersweet blooming in winter.” Lan Yuan is fascinated by the beautiful scenery every winter.

Chen Xian silently remembered her preferences in his heart and planned to fold plum blossoms for her every day in winter.

“Okay, as long as you like it, I will help you realize whatever you like in the future.” Shen Xian’s eyebrows were curved with infinite love. She tried her best to give Lan Yuan all her preference.

Lan Yuan raised her head and looked at the high-spirited Chen Xian in front of her. She always felt that the returning Chen Xian was too beautiful to be true. She retracted her hands into her sleeves, and the pain from her nails digging into her flesh reminded her that this was reality.

I hope you like me too, can you help me make it happen?

Lan Yuan stared at Chen Xian’s eyes and said this silently in her heart. Compared with the bright and clear eyes of Chen Xian, Lan Yuan’s were a little more sad and dim.

The next day, Shen Xian highly praised Lan Yuan’s proficiency in the piano class. Even Jasmine was dumbfounded. Is this the same meticulous and strict teacher Shen from before?

Listening to these nice words, Lan Yuan’s face turned crimson due to shyness: “Teacher Shen, you are so complimentary.”

“Don’t be modest. When I heard your piano playing yesterday, I knew you had really worked hard recently.” Shen Xian patted Lan Yuan on the shoulder.

“Today we’re going to learn something special. I’ll teach you how to play with four hands.”

Lan Yuan was very happy about this, but she didn’t expect to have the opportunity to play the piano with Shen Xian.

“Can I sit next to you?” Shen Xian pointed to the bench where Lan Yuan was sitting. It could fit two people.

“Of course.” Lan Yuan immediately moved to the side to let Chen Xian get airborne.

I remember when we first met, Lan Yuan thought it was offensive to sit on the same bench together, but now her mood is different from yesterday.

Looking at the music score, Chen Xian took Lan Yuan to familiarize themselves with the music.

The piece of music I chose was not too difficult, and Lan Yuan’s level was more than adequate. However, because Shen Xian was sitting next to him today, he became nervous. The more he tried to make it perfect, the more things went wrong. There was a certain sound that Lan Yuan couldn’t play well.

She mentally blamed herself for her incompetence and hated herself for not being able to play even one piece of music with Shen Xian.

Chen Xian looked at Lan Yuan’s brows furrowed with anxiety, grabbed her left hand, and led her to practice in person.

The black and white keys seemed to be naturally catering to Shen Xian, and Lan Yuan’s hand caught by Shen Xian immediately played the note.

“Thank you, Teacher Shen.” Lan Yuan turned to look at Shen Xian.

“Don’t be so rude. You’re always thanking me for this and that. You really want to thank me. From now on, you can call me Chen Xian. Don’t always call me teacher. I’m only twenty years old.” Chen Xian happened to turn his face, and the tips of their noses happened to touch each other.

At this moment, everything in the world disappeared before their eyes. Except for each other in their eyes, everything else ceased to exist. Neither of them avoided this intimate contact. They kept their noses touching each other. The ambiguous smell in the air gradually dissipated, and their faces were stained with crimson.

“Okay, thank you Chen Xian.” Lan Yuan called out Chen Xian’s full name for the first time, speaking smoothly and raising the corners of her mouth.

Then Lan Yuan turned her face away, keeping a distance from Shen Xian, trying it lightly and not getting too close. This was her usual rule. Indulging in that hug just now was already too greedy. Now she couldn’t make the same mistake again and again, or show too much emotion.

Chen Xian continued to look at Lan Yuan’s bright face at this moment, and felt that it was brighter than the scorching sun. It turned out that liking someone was so warm and happy.

After practicing for an hour, the two were finally able to play the piece together. Shen Xian listened to the sound of their ensemble. From a professional point of view, it was much worse than the one she played with Lisa when she was seven years old. However, once she became emotionally involved, no professional could measure the perfection of the piece. Shen Xian felt that she had never heard such a beautiful sound. She pressed the keys in ecstasy, wishing that time would stop forever.

Lan Yuan’s peripheral vision looked at Shen Xian who was devoted and her closed eyes. She felt that she was completely satisfied that she was lucky enough to play the piano with Shen Xian in this life. She closed her eyes with Shen Xian and used up all her love to compose this love song.

Jasmine couldn’t tell whether it was good or bad, but she felt that the two of them were harmonious!
