The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 7

Chapter 7

“When the photos are developed, I will send them to you.”

Chen Xian took back the camera and checked the photos taken by Jasmine. Lan Yuan’s eyes in the lens were indescribably complicated.

Then Chen Xian took a solo photo of Lan Yuan. She felt that it would be a pity not to record Lan Yuan’s charming appearance.

“Okay, thank you, Teacher Shen.”

Lan Yuan showed a bright smile. She was very happy to appear in Shen Xian’s camera, and she was also very happy to take a photo with Shen Xian. Even if they were destined to be separated in the future, there was evidence that they had been close to each other.

When taking family photos in the past, the photographer turned on the flash, and the white light was very dazzling. Lan Yuan always avoided looking at the camera. This was the first time that Lan Yuan felt that the lens was a precious thing.

“By the way, there are also candies, please remember to eat them. I asked my uncle to buy them. They are delicious.” Shen Xian reminded Lan Yuan and left after everything was explained.

Lan Yuan opened the candy box, peeled off a candy and put it in her mouth.The chocolate has a silky texture and a sweet aroma, which leaves a lingering aroma on your lips and teeth after you swallow it.

Lan Yuan liked the taste very much. She had never eaten this kind of thing before, but she was reluctant to eat one more. It was too luxurious to eat two at a time, so the candy wrappers were carefully folded and stored.

“Jasmine, do you have a box of candies like this over there?” Lan Yuan thought about it.She heard everything that Chen Xian and Jasmine said in the yard just now.

“Teacher Shen gave me a box.” Jasmine told the truth, feeling that her candy was about to be lost.

Lan Yuan held her forehead and sighed, laughing in her heart that she actually wanted to deceive Jasmine’s things. This was not good. Jasmine and she were like sisters.

“That candy is delicious, remember to eat it.” Lan Yuan couldn’t say anything to ask Jasmine to hand over the candy, so she gritted her teeth secretly and changed the subject.

Then Lan Yuan got up and planned to go back to the back room to change her clothes. Before leaving, she left a message to Jasmine. She couldn’t grab candy, but she could say other things –

“By the way, next time Teacher Shen comes, let her come in directly and don’t stay at the door for too long.”

Although she was embroidering just now, the conversation between the two in the yard could be clearly heard. Jasmine became more and more young and always loved to chat with Shen Xian. Shen Xian couldn’t distinguish the priorities. He clearly came to see her, but he chatted with Jasmine first.The chattering duo made her stitches crooked.

In early April, the Lan family had good news. Their son Lan Zhi was coming back from Peking.

The brother and sister have always had a good relationship over the years. Lan Zhi respects his parents and loves his only little sister.

Although Lan Zhi is not a good material for learning and doing business, fortunately, the Lan family has a stable foundation, and Lan Zhi only needs to hold on to the family business.

Lan Yuan read her brother’s family letter and was very happy to know the news. Her eldest brother has been in charge of the business in Peiping. She has not seen him since the first day of the new year.

Yesterday, I told Shen Xian to take leave, saying that I would go to the station with my parents to pick up my eldest brother this morning.

The housekeeper received instructions from the master and his wife and ordered his servants to clean the house early in the morning and make it spotless.

Lan Zhi got off the train and returned home with his parents. The housekeeper and a group of servants bent down to greet him, and then led him to the ancestral hall to burn incense for his ancestors. Then the family had lunch happily, with laughter and laughter during the meal.

Shen Xian, who was still eating with Aunt Li in the kitchen at this time, could imagine how happy the entire Lan family looked.

The butler ran back and forth between the dining room and the kitchen, telling the servants to hurry up and serve the dishes.Young Master Lan Zhi was highly valued by the family. Now that he was back, Master Lan’s laughter resounded through the sky and reached the kitchen. Shen Xian felt noisy and suddenly lost his appetite.

As soon as Aunt Li brought the chicken drumsticks she had left last night to Shen Xian, she noticed that the child had a bad look on his face and was not happy when he saw the drumsticks.

“Don’t chicken drumsticks even tempt you now?”

Shen Xian could only partially understand the Yangzhou dialect spoken by Aunt Li at first, but now communication is no problem at all.

“I’m full. I’m going back to the house first. There’s no need to save food for the night.” Shen Xian put down the bowl and left.

As soon as Shen Xian left, Jasmine came to the kitchen to eat. She heard Aunt Li say that Shen Xian had only eaten half a bowl of rice today.

“She’s a baby. She usually eats a big bowl and drinks soup. Today she ran away after just three mouthfuls. I feel so bad for this old lady.”

Aunt Li likes Shen Xian from the bottom of her heart and treats her as half a daughter. She feels uncomfortable when her child doesn’t eat.

After Lan Yuan finished the reunion dinner with her family, she heard the news from Jasmine and felt very worried.I originally wanted to drink tea and chat with my brother in the afternoon, but now I’m in no mood.

Every time he thought about setting a boundary with Shen Xian, he couldn’t help but get closer to her. Even the fact that she didn’t eat well made people worried. Lan Yuan hurried back to her yard and sighed that she was really worthless.

Knocking on the door, there was no response. Lan Yuan thought that the person might be taking a nap and planned to come back later. As soon as he turned around to leave, the door opened.

“What’s the matter?” Shen Xian asked.

Lan Yuan could tell that Shen Xian was not in high spirits, “I heard that you didn’t eat well. Come and ask.”

After saying that, Lan Yuan felt like an old mother who was worried about her children, but she couldn’t take back what she said, so she just let it go.

“I just… don’t have much appetite.” Shen Xian shrugged.

The Lan family was enjoying themselves happily, but Shen Xian suddenly felt that it was a bit desolate to live alone in a foreign country, so he couldn’t eat any more.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

“No discomfort.” Shen Xian pursed his lips.

“How about eating something?” Lan Yuan couldn’t help but feel sad when she saw Shen Xian’s sluggish look, “I asked someone to make egg custard for you.”

Chen Xian remembered that his mother had done this for him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Lan Yuan noticed that Shen Xian’s mood seemed to be a little better. She pointed to Shen Xian’s room and asked tentatively, “Can I go in and sit for a while?”

She didn’t want to leave Shen Xian alone in the room. Even if she couldn’t help with anything, she would feel more at ease if she stayed with her all the time.

“Come in.”

Chen Xian turned sideways to make it easier for Lan Yuan to come in.

Lan Yuan walked into the room. Things in the room were arranged neatly. Three suitcases were placed in the corner, two tables, a bed, a basin stand and a dressing table. All the furniture could be seen at a glance. Shen Xian asked her to sit next to the desk.

A piece of music score was placed under Shen Xian’s pen. Lan Yuan saw that the ink on it had not yet dried.”You wrote all these scores yourself?”

“Yes, I’m dictating the music I’m going to teach you tomorrow.” Shen Xian was bored when he came back, so he was sorting out and dictating these thoughts to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind.

Lan Yuan always thought that these music scores were just like the books given by Shen Xian, which were printed things. She never expected that the music scores were actually written by Shen Xian himself. The neat handwriting was comparable to engraving printing. He must cherish it in the future.

“Miss, Teacher Shen, the egg custard is ready.” Jasmine knocked on the door.

Shen Xian stood up and opened the door for Jasmine.

Jasmine came in, opened the food box, and put the egg custard in the corner of the desk.

“Here are the chicken legs that Aunt Li left for Teacher Shen. She asked me to bring them over too.” Jasmine was busy serving dishes while talking.

She put the chicken legs in the bowl on the table and immediately left the room. She had an excellent sense of proportion. After coming out, Jasmine couldn’t help but applaud herself.

“Eat it while it’s hot.” Lan Yuan pushed the bowl towards Chen Xian.

“How do you know I like to eat this?” Shen Xian put away the paper and pen.

“I guessed it.” Lan Yuan smiled like a flower, but she didn’t intend to tell the truth.

In fact, she asked Aunt Li to care about Shen Xian’s food before. Aunt Li said that Shen Xian liked egg custard.The preparation of this thing is very simple, just beat the eggs, boil them in boiling water, add some sugar and sesame oil.

Shen Xian felt that although the taste of this bowl of custard was not as good as his mother’s, it was still delicious.

“I heard your family talking and laughing in the hall today, and I thought of my family, so I was in a bad mood.” Shen Xian didn’t understand why she told Lan Yuan this, but she said it anyway.

“Teacher Shen turns out to be homesick. Why don’t you go back and visit them?” Lan Yuan suggested.

“They settled in the UK. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. It’s inconvenient, and… I had a quarrel with them.” Shen Xian looked embarrassed.

“What a pity for parents in the world, and you are the only daughter in the family. If you really quarrel, just give in and your parents will forgive you.” Lan Yuan comforted Shen Xian.

“My father…he…did something wrong.” Shen Xian thought of the documents in the study and the scene when he struggled in the sea and almost drowned. The painful feeling corroded his whole body and he had a splitting headache.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, it’s okay, I will stay with you.” Lan Yuan held Shen Xian in her arms and kept stroking Shen Xian’s head, hoping to comfort her.

From Shen Xian’s various reactions, Lan Yuan felt that there was a huge and irreversible rift between Shen Xian and her parents, and this pain would torture Shen Xian crazily when she missed them.

Chen Xian hugged Lan Yuan’s waist and lay in her arms, like a frightened child. It took a long time to calm down.

“Thank you for your comfort today. I’m fine.” Shen Xian said with a smile, but there was still sadness in his eyes.

Lan Yuan never imagined that Shen Xian, who was bright, happy and radiant, could also suffer from bottomless pain. She couldn’t let go and wanted to stay with him for a while longer.

Shen Xian saw that Lan Yuan was still worried about him, but considering that Lan Yuan’s brother had just come back, they had a good relationship and couldn’t delay their reminiscing about the past, so he emphasized again, “Don’t worry, I’m really fine!”

“By the way, it’s early April now. The peach blossoms on the mountain are in bloom. Do you want to go see them? Let’s go together.”

Lan Yuan wanted to take Shen Xian outside to relax, but she was still short of stepping out of the room. She turned to ask Shen Xian, her eyes eagerly hoping that Shen Xian would agree.

“When?” Shen Xian asked.

“It’s better to choose a day than to hit it. How about tomorrow?”

“Okay.” Looking into Lan Yuan’s eyes, Chen Xian couldn’t say no.

It was obviously just an employment relationship, but it seemed that he had an inextricable relationship with Lan Yuan, but Shen Xian suddenly felt that this was also good.

At the moment, she is very grateful to Lan Yuan for holding the soul that drowned in the sea. Lan Yuan personally brought her to the shore. This is very precious.

Chen Xian agreed to Lan Yuan’s suggestion, and Lan Yuan was just willing to leave.
