The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 44
byChapter 44
After listening to Hunter’s words, Lan Yuan suddenly remembered the helplessness and sadness that Shen Xian occasionally showed in the house.
She never thought about the sadness in Shen Xian’s heart, and blamed herself for her negligence, “Why on earth did she become like this?”
“I asked, but she didn’t say anything. She resisted every time it was mentioned. Her entire mental state changed when it was mentioned.” Hunter was also helpless.
“Uncle, don’t worry, I will take good care of her, stay with her, and never leave.” Lan Yuan said these four words very seriously.This is her solemn promise to Hunter and what she is determined to do.
The bond between life and death is broad, and I have said it to my son. I will hold my son’s hand and grow old together with my son.
Near noon, Shen Xian finally came back from shopping for groceries and even bought a bouquet of flowers for Lan Yuan.
Hunter checked the vegetable basket and felt that Shen Xian had bought all the ingredients.
It’s hard for a good woman to make a living without rice. Fortunately, Shen Xian can’t cook, but she can buy vegetables.
Hunter’s cooking skills are particularly good. This is based on the experience of living in China for more than ten years. He can even steam buns and bake pies.
He was in a good mood today, seeing Shen Xian getting happier day by day, and finding a partner, which made him happy, so he simply closed the business for half a day, suspended business, and had a lively meal without being beaten.
The three of them huddled in the kitchen making dumplings. Over the years, Hunter also learned some of the Chinese traditions. When encountering a happy reunion, he usually eats this.
Shen Xian chops the stuffing with a sense of rhythm. To Hunter and Lan Yuan’s ears, it always feels like she is still playing the piano. Fortunately, the meat is chopped into pieces and can be mixed with the stuffing.
Hunter kneaded the dough and mixed the fillings, then started rolling out the dough.
Shen Xian and Lan Yuan were overconfident but unable to do anything, so they secretly exposed two of them one after another.
Hunter felt that if they continued to be unhelpful, they would have to eat dumplings and porridge today, so he simply pushed them aside and rolled and wrapped them himself.
Shen Xian took the opportunity to steal some noodles and smeared them on Lan Yuan and Hunter’s noses.
Hunter was busy cooking and had no time to mess around with Shen Xian, so he let Shen Xian bully him.
Lan Yuan didn’t want to dirty Shen Xian’s face, but just kept laughing with her. She hoped that her Shen Xian could always be so happy!
Blue Kite can also barely make a salad on the side.
Shen Xian was not very good at chopping vegetables, and her piano-playing hand had never touched these knives since she was a child.
With nothing to do, Shen Xian took a film camera and took photos of the two busy people in the kitchen. “You two, look at the camera.”
Lan Yuan stood by the sink and looked back gently, smiling at the camera.
Hunter was wearing an apron and holding a rolling pin towards the camera.
The three of them continued to be busy——
Lan Yuan patted cucumbers and mixed them with peanuts;
Chen Xian helped wash the dishes;
Hunter passed the dumplings three times before putting them on the table.
It was a simple home-cooked meal that was very enjoyable, and the table was filled with laughter.
After the meal, Shen Xian took Lan Yuan out to eat, and walked along the street for a while.
“Chen Xian, what color curtains do you like?”
Lan Yuan is going to decorate the small house. She wants to live with her Shen Chen.
“White.” Chen Xian said to Lan Yuan.
“Then white, our home will be replaced with white curtains then!” Lan Yuan held Chen Xian’s hand tightly.
Our home, what a beautiful scene of anticipation!
The last time Shen Xian took Lan Yuan to see the small house, he looked forward to the days when they would live together.
Accompanying each other day and night, I never dared to think about it before, but now it is about to become a reality!
The gentle sunshine in the afternoon is scattered on the ground. Jinling in winter is not cold at the moment, just like the blue kite’s heart filled with love.
“Shen Chen, I will love you forever and never leave you. I have carefully weighed the weight of you and other people in my life, and then I found that you are the only one that matters.”
“Although I am more than two years younger than you, please believe that I can be trusted by you for the rest of your life.”
Lan Yuan helped Shen Xian tie the scarf and said these words seriously.
Other people in her life are just passers-by to Lan Yuan, but Shen Xian is different. Shen Xian is where her heart is and where she belongs!
And from the moment after Hunter said that Shen Xian was hiding pain in his heart, Lan Yuan even felt that it was worth it even if he had to exchange his own life for Shen Xian’s lifelong happiness!
“But… you don’t know everything about me, you don’t even know me thoroughly. Aren’t you afraid that I’m not as good as you think?” Shen Xian’s voice trembled slightly.
She put her hands in her pockets to hide her nervousness. Lan Yuan’s love was too strong. At a certain moment, Shen Xian suddenly felt that she couldn’t bear such love!
“Or… I may not be able to like you as much as you like me. Can you accept this?” Chen Xian continued to ask.
The inner cowardice and deepest inferiority made Shen Xian subconsciously belittle his love, and his hands hidden in his pockets were sweating.
In Shen Xian’s heart, even if she fell in love with Lan Yuan, even if she was willing to give everything for Lan Yuan, she always felt that Lan Yuan still favored her more in this relationship.
Moreover, Shen Xian believed that she had never revealed her life in the past twenty years, and Lan Yuan had never known this either.
Although he clearly knows very little, can such a lonely person really support a lifelong love?
Lan Yuan saw Shen Xian’s nervousness and averting his eyes. She realized that her words had frightened Shen Xian, and that Shen Xian was more fragile than she thought.
So Lan Yuan didn’t answer Shen Xian’s question immediately. Instead, he took Shen Xian’s hand out of his pocket, warmed it little by little, and then slowly spoke –
“I care more about our present and future than your past. And only by being with you can I have the opportunity to understand your past.”
“I will not be blinded by my little knowledge and knowledge of your past.”
“I love you! No matter you are good or bad! As long as you are you!”
“I don’t expect my Chen Xian to become a good person. I only hope that my Chen Xian can be herself when she is loved by me.”
“You don’t have to be brave, you don’t have to be strong, you don’t have to be weak and cowardly, you can do whatever you want. No matter what you look like, I love you and I will stay with you forever!”
Among the people coming and going, Lan Yuan never let go of Shen Xian’s hand, telling her love without any secret.
Tears in Chen Xian’s eyes fell on the back of Lan Yuan’s hand. These words touched her deepest inner world——
In Shen Xian’s world, she regards herself as a cowardly snail huddled in its shell. Everyone hopes that the snail can bravely expose its head and crawl forward. Only Lan Yuan quietly guards the snail and tells the snail that it is okay to huddle inside. I will accompany you.
Everyone hopes that Shen Xian can be happy, but no one wants to be unhappy with Shen Xian, except Lan Yuan, who tolerates her willfulness and sympathizes with her world!
Lan Yuan gently wiped away Chen Xian’s tears and led her forward, walking in unison and holding hands.
Occasionally, Lan Yuan would be afraid that Shen Xian would be uncomfortable, so she would change her position and continue walking by holding on to Shen Xian’s arm.
Lan Yuan has already said what needs to be said, and she will use her actions to prove the rest. She is willing to slowly wait for Shen Xian to believe in her loyal love. Sincerity is the key to success.
Suddenly Chen Xian leaned close to Lan Yuan’s ear and said, “Like you, I only like you in my life.”
When Lan Yuan heard this, she couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth, smiled shyly, and interlocked her fingers with Shen Xian.
Shen Shen really believed in herself!Nothing could be happier than this!
“I also promise to stay with you forever and never leave you.”
“Give me a little more time, and I will slowly tell you my story and tell you everything about me.”
Chen Xian stopped and hugged Lan Yuan tightly, buried his head on her shoulder, and said these words.
Lan Yuan gave her the confidence and promise, and she must be worthy of this love.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you!” Lan Yuan patted Shen Xian on the back, silently comforting her.
People flowed around them, but Shen Xian and Lan Yuan felt that only each other was left in the world!
Xu Ziyu ruthlessly tore up those photos, which were all filled with Chen Xian and Lan Yuan.
These days, he has been looking for someone to follow Shen Xian. She is like a voyeur monitoring Shen Xian’s life when he is not around him!
The photos taken back by the people sent showed that Shen Xian stayed with that mediocre girl almost all the time!
The jealousy and unwillingness in her heart made her want to vent her anger directly to the two of them!
Qian Pei came to visit Xu Ziyu wearing high heels. When she entered the door, she heard the sound of a tea cup breaking——
“You’re recovering well. I’ll give you a cheap tea set next time.” Qian Pei looked at the broken white porcelain on the ground and felt a pain in his heart.
“Stop teasing me.” Xu Ziyu said angrily.
“Let yourself go and let Xiao Shen go!” Qian Pei didn’t care about the sting in Xu Ziyu’s words, as he always did.
“Sister Pei, you supported me and Chen Xian back then!” Xu Ziyu felt unhappy because this person went back on his word.
Before Qian Pei met Lan Yuan, he felt that Xu Ziyu still had some hope.
But after seeing the two of them that day, I knew that Xu Ziyu was bound to lose. The tenderness and firmness in Lan Yuan’s eyes and the pure love in Xu Ziyu were not there!
Cutting the knot with a quick knife, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!
“People like us should not long for love and family affection. Our identities determine that these things do not belong to us.” Qian Pei said sincerely.
With the experience of an elder, Qian Pei has the best say as someone who has been there——
“You got married, and you lost the right to love from the moment you got married!”
“And you don’t want to get divorced. You can’t let go of wealth and glory. If Xiao Shen stays with you, he can only be a lover or a third party. Is this fair to her?”
“You and I both know Xiao Shen’s character. Will she be willing to be your lover? Are you willing to let her name go unjustly?”
“I’m willing to give it up!” Xu Ziyu said these three words as coldly as ice.
And Xu Ziyu felt that with his status, who would dare to spread these rumors!
“Sister Pei, you said that the relationship between women is very delicate. It is the best choice for Shen Xian to stay with me. I don’t treat her as a lover, I really love her with all my heart!” Xu Ziyu defended herself.
She felt that as long as she didn’t regard Shen Xian as her lover, Shen Xian would be justified. As long as Shen Xian nodded their heads together, she would dare to lead people through the market tomorrow!
“You are really hopeless. If you think so, what’s the difference between Chen Xian in your heart and those lovers who once lay beside you?” Qian Pei was angry at Xu Ziyu’s sophistry!
“I don’t love those people. At most, they just help me kill my loneliness. I love Shen Xian. Isn’t there any difference?” Xu Ziyu shook the sleeves of her nightgown nonchalantly.
She and those people are consensual, they only sleep together once in a while, and they don’t love each other.
And Xu Ziyu knew that half of the lovers were just for their own money.
Qian Pei felt that Xu Ziyu’s love was too selfish and she really didn’t consider Shen Xian at all.
“Stop taking advantage of Xiao Shen’s sympathy. She treats you as her own sister and really cares about you. You shouldn’t keep hurting her!”
Qian Pei regretted telling Shen Xian about Xu Ziyu’s misery. She deserved Xu Ziyu’s misery!
“How could I hurt Chen Xian?” Xu Ziyu sneered.
“Taking advantage of her kindness, intervening in her life, and destroying her happiness, isn’t that considered harmful?” Qian Pei listed Xu Ziyu’s various evil deeds.
“It’s that ignorant woman who interferes in my life and Shen Xian’s life. It’s her who is destroying Shen Xian and I!” Xu Ziyu gritted his teeth, thinking of Lan Yuan with hatred.
In Xu Ziyu’s opinion, Shen Xian must have been temporarily bewitched by Lan Yuan and then went astray. What kind of future could Shen Xian and that kind of woman have?
Qian Pei doesn’t like Xu Ziyu arranging someone at will, especially Lan Yuan.
“I have something else to do, so I won’t accompany you for now so you can take care of yourself.” Qian Pei dropped his words and packed up his bag and left.
Suddenly a cunning light flashed in Xu Ziyu’s eyes. It is true that she would not hurt Chen Xian, but she had countless ways to drive away Lan Yuan!
