The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 62

Chapter 62

Of course, this was not Lan Yuan’s impromptu idea, it was an idea that had been in her mind ever since Shen Xian’s mother Joe suggested it that day.

Especially after Lan Yuan learned that Shen Xian was bullied and harassed at work, she became more determined in this idea.

Shen Xian is a piano genius, a decent person who should stand on the band stage, and should not be dragged down by himself.

“Why are you going to England?” Chen Xian asked, playing with Lan Yuan’s broken hair.

“I just think you should finish your studies and become a pianist. This is the path you should take.” Lan Yuan said, she didn’t want Shen Xian to be buried like this.

“But… I’m worried that you won’t adapt to life there, and you still have family and friends here.” Shen Xian expressed his concerns.

“My uncle said that there is a good design school there. If I can practice sketching again, learn English well, and have the opportunity to study, I also want to go to university.”

Hunter felt that Lan Yuan was very talented in this area. When she made clothes, she was not just a tailor. She would incorporate her own ideas and become more like a fashion designer, so she mentioned to Lan Yuan about studying for further education.

“Do you also want to study?” Shen Xian asked Lan Yuan seriously.

“I’ve read a lot of books and some youth magazines in the past few months. In these troubled times, I can’t save society or other people, but I want to find a better way out for myself and both of us.

It is not easy for us as women. Our society, whether it is good or bad, oppresses women like a stone.

The best we can do if we stay here is to keep the status quo. Going to the UK is a better choice. You and I will have unlimited possibilities.

I also want to feel the independence, progress, and freedom in the book.Although my English is not good, with a good partner like you, all difficulties and dangers are not a problem.

As for relatives and friends, I don’t have many, so there’s no need to worry about it. The only important one is you.Other than that, I can’t find any other reason not to go to the UK.”

Lan Yuan said these sensible words with firm eyes. She hoped that Shen Xian would accept her suggestion.

“Okay, then let’s go to England and I will teach you English starting tomorrow.” Shen Xian hugged Lan Yuan and agreed to the matter.

Hunter asked someone to buy them boat tickets for mid-July and arrive at the school in early August. School in England starts in September, so they have exactly one month to adapt.

In order to go abroad, Yuan began to live a careful life. She did not allow Shen Xian to buy melon slices for herself, nor did Shen Xian buy all kinds of gifts for herself.

And since she learned that Shen Xian had suffered so many grievances at work, Lan Yuan was not willing to spend her hard-earned money. She used her salary for daily expenses, and Shen Xian deposited everything in the bank.

In addition, Lan Yuan not only gets up early during the day to memorize vocabulary, but also practices art diligently at night. On weekends, she will go to Feng Jia to learn sketching. By then, she will have a much higher chance of success when applying to schools in the UK.

Shen Xian asked about the ferry tickets to the UK. The latest boat to the UK was actually in mid-July. Shen Xian quickly bought the tickets. He expected to arrive in the UK in August, and there was still a month’s buffer period before starting school, which was just right.

Of course, Shen Xian also knew that their expenses would be higher than in Jinling. First of all, they would not be able to earn full-time money while studying. They would have to rent a house and pay for tuition. So in her spare time, Shen Xian also began to look for other ways to make money.

On this day, Lan Yuan went to work as usual. She originally planned to pick up her bag and leave at five o’clock, but was stopped directly by Hunter.

“Lan Yatou, the customer wants this dress tomorrow, can you finish it in the store?” Hunter blocked the door with his body to prevent Lan Yuan from stepping out.

Shen Xian gave him a heavy responsibility, forcing him to retain people.

Lan Yuan remained polite and said, “I’ll take it home and cook it. I’ll bring it over tomorrow morning.”

Lan Yuan knows that it is easy to forget time when she is busy, so if she needs to work overtime on weekdays, she will go home and cook before getting busy.

“No.” Hunter looked nervous and uncharacteristically rejected Lan Yuan’s suggestion.

“Okay, then I’ll finish this and leave.” Lan Yuan put down her bag and returned to her work table, working hard.

Lan Yuan quickly finished her work and picked up her bag again.

Hunter looked at his watch and it was only half past five. He immediately blocked the door again, sweat dripping from his forehead due to nervousness.

“No, there is another piece of clothing that the guest wants tomorrow too.”

Lan Yuan put down her bag and checked the order book, “Only Mrs. Zhang will come to pick up the clothes tomorrow, and the others will be picked up the day after tomorrow at the earliest.”

Hunter smiled awkwardly, “Really? Then I may have remembered it wrong.”

“That’s okay. I’m leaving first, uncle.” Lan Yuan put the bag on her arm.

“Okay, see you tomorrow.” Hunter waved his hand, praying to Shen Xian for good luck.

Lan Yuan returned home and inserted the key in, only to find that the door was unlocked. After cautiously opening it, she found that the entrance was covered with white petals.

Following the guidance of the petals, Lan Yuan came to the living room and immediately saw Chen Xian sitting next to the piano with his back to her.

Shen Xian was wearing a white dress, and her hair was curled into waves and hanging down her head.There is a bouquet of white flowers on the piano stand.

The flowers are very small. Blue Kite did not recognize this flower species at this time, but later she learned that it was called lily of the valley.

Chen Xian heard Lan Yuan’s footsteps and turned around to face her with a gentle and bright smile, full of meaning.

When the water is full, it will overflow; when the love is full, it will flow out of the eyes.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the golden light shone through the glass on the piano and Shen Xian. Lan Yuan inexplicably remembered Bai Juyi’s poem, “The most beautiful things cannot be retained, and the colorful clouds are easy to scatter and the glass is broken.”

Chen Xian’s beauty at this moment made Lan Yuan feel warm and dazzling, but she was afraid that it would be fleeting.

“Yuan Yuan, would you like to spend two minutes of your life enjoying my performance?”

Shen Xian clasped his hands to hide his nervousness and said to Lan Yuan with a smile.

Such familiar words reminded Lan Yuan of Chen Xian who once played the piano for her under the moon, and she nodded seriously in agreement.

Shen Xian wrote this piano piece for a whole month, and she revised it over and over again whenever she had free time.

Now even though she knew every tune by heart, she was still afraid of playing it wrong, and her hands were more unstable than in a hundred previous rehearsals.

“This is a piano piece written for you, called “Paper Kite”.”

After Chen Xian finished speaking, he sat back in front of the piano, breathed a long sigh of relief, and started playing.

Lan Yuan listened to this music that belonged exclusively to herself and Shen Xian——

As every note entered her ears, she seemed to be back to the time when she first met Shen Xian, when they were so strange and polite.

Then the soft and slow intro gradually becomes brisk, just like the time when the two of them gradually fell in love with each other.

Suddenly the music became impassioned, and every key was filled with passion and burning. Listening to this, Lan Yuan thought of some of the good times she and Shen Xian had at night.

Then the music returned to calmness and tranquility, just like the slow flow of time in a person’s life, so calm but warm.

After Chen Xian finished playing the piece, she was silent for three seconds. She picked up the bunch of lilies of the valley on the piano stand and walked towards Lan Yuan step by step.

High heels made a sound on the wooden floor.

Lan Yuan sensed every step Shen Xian took, and her heart became nervous and apprehensive.

Chen Xian handed the lily of the valley to Lan Yuan’s hand, and Lan Yuan carefully caught the bouquet, treating it as the most precious thing in the world.

Then, Chen Xian walked to the side of the sofa, opened the box, and took out the white veil——

“Can I put it on you?”

Lan Yuan nodded seriously in agreement, with tears in her eyes and her heart almost beating out.

Chen Xian carefully put the veil on Lan Yuan’s head and fixed it with a pin to prevent it from shaking.

Lan Yuan is wearing a blue cheongsam and white leather shoes today, and the veil is just the icing on the cake, complementing each other.

After retreating slightly back, Shen Xian knelt on one knee, holding Lan Yuan religiously with one hand, with tears in his eyes——

“Yuan Yuan, I love you. You are gentle, kind, friendly, progressive, dignified and steady. Meeting you has given me the most beautiful time. I find that I can’t live without you all the time.

I promise that I will always respect you and love you, and I promise to be by your side no matter the ups and downs, poverty or illness.

So, will you accept my proposal?”

Chen Xian choked up and finished the last sentence. She wanted to make a ceremonial promise to Lan Yuan before going to England.

Lan Yuan felt that her head could no longer bear these sudden surprises, and she was even slightly dizzy due to the excessive excitement and excitement.

Lan Yuan never thought that Shen Xian would prepare this, and she didn’t even notice it at all.

Seeing Shen Xian kneeling in front of her so formally and speaking such sincere words, Lan Yuan’s heart was moved and turned into tears of happiness.

“Does your knee hurt?”

Lan Yuan also knelt down and rubbed Shen Xian’s knees. She was worried that Shen Xian’s knees would hurt after kneeling for so long.

Chen Xian didn’t expect Lan Yuan’s first words to be this, so he smiled and said, “It doesn’t hurt.”

Then, Lan Yuan hugged Shen Xian tightly and hugged her neck, “I do. I accept your proposal. I have promised to be with you forever.”

Chen Xian took out another thing from the box and opened the lid. It was a diamond ring.

“Then how about you put on this ring now?” Shen Xian said with expectation.

“Put it on for me.” Lan Yuan stretched out her hand in front of Chen Xian.

Chen Xian took out the ring and put it on the middle finger of Lan Yuan’s left hand. He kissed the back of the hand and said, “It’s beautiful and the size is right.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t expect to prepare these for you.” Apart from being happy, Lan Yuan felt guilty and kissed Chen Xian.

“It doesn’t matter.” Shen Xian touched her head to show that she didn’t care.

“I will definitely make up for it later.”

Lan Yuan kissed Chen Xian again. This time she did not taste it lightly, but was passionate and reckless. Shen Xian’s proposal just now inspired her endless desire.

Chen Xian cooperated enthusiastically and intensified the kiss. She clasped the back of Lan Yuan’s head and started to unbutton Lan Yuan’s buttons.

Two people rolled from the floor to the sofa.

Lan Yuan is wearing a cheongsam today, which is very convenient!
