The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 75
byChapter 75
“Miss, the friend you brought is awake.” The servant knocked on the door to deliver the news.
Lan Yuan and Lisa stopped talking and hurried over to see Shen Xian.
Chen Xian opened his eyes and found himself lying in Lan Yuan’s room, with a sweet taste in his mouth. He became alert and opened the quilt to leave.
Lan Yuan rushed over and saw Shen Xian’s bare feet on the ground. Worried about catching a cold, he quickly found slippers and placed them in front of Shen Xian’s feet. “Put on your shoes. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
“Where are my shoes?” Shen Xian didn’t want to touch anything belonging to Lan Yuan.
“Here it is.” Lan Yuan took Chen Xian’s high heels over.
Just as Chen Xian was about to put on his high heels, Lan Yuan took the shoes away and put them aside.
“Wear slippers, high heels are bad for your feet.” Lan Yuan said softly, squatting on the ground, picking up a slipper, and waiting for Shen Xian to stretch his feet.
Shen Xian didn’t argue anymore, and took the initiative to stretch his feet and let Lan Yuan help him put on his shoes.
“Where’s Lisa?” Shen Xian asked after putting on his shoes.
“I’m here.” Lisa walked up to Shen Xian, “Ann, you fainted just now, and it was Miss Lan who carried you back.”
Chen Xian’s face felt slightly hot when he heard this, and he was embarrassed and said, “Thank you, Miss Lan, for your help. I have caused so much trouble today, but I won’t do it again in the future.”
“Don’t disturb me.” Lan Yuan held Shen Xian’s wrist to prevent him from leaving, “Can you stay and have something to eat?”
“No need.” Shen Xian subconsciously rejected Lan Yuan. She didn’t want to accept this illusory beauty. It was all fake after all.
“Eat something, I happen to be hungry too, Ann.” Lisa said the opposite. She could see that Shen Xian wanted to stay, so she might as well speak for her shamelessly.
Chen Xian winked at Lisa, indicating that she was not allowed to stay for dinner.
“Let’s eat, just this time, okay?” Lisa shook Shen Xian’s arm.
Shen Xian acquiesced and agreed to stay for dinner.
The servants immediately brought the food over. Lan Yuan took a careful look at the dishes that had no red color, and withdrew the bowl of meat wontons from the table.
“You guys eat slowly. I’m going back to my room first. If you need anything, just come and see me next door.” Lan Yuan helped lay out the food and prepared to leave. She was afraid that Shen Xian would see her discomfort and affect her appetite.
“That’s a lot, let’s eat together.” Lisa pulled Lan Yuan to sit down.
Seeing that Shen Xian had no objection, Lan Yuan dared to sit down with confidence and looked at Shen Xian quietly without moving her chopsticks.
“You two eat slowly.” Lisa quickly drank a bowl of porridge, ignoring the fact that the food burned her mouth, and left hastily.
Shen Xian lowered his head and sipped the porridge slowly.
Lan Yuan knew that this was a sign of Shen Xian’s anorexia, because Shen Xian always stuffed his mouth full when eating, eating like a squirrel.
Shen Xian felt Lan Yuan’s gaze and was afraid of exposing his anorexia. He ate very hard and used all his strength to finish the bowl of white porridge.
For the first time, Shen Xian disliked the Lan family’s eating bowl, which was too big and too full.
“It’s great.” Lan Yuan saw that the porridge in Shen Xian’s bowl had reached the bottom. She was very pleased and praised Shen Xian with a crooked look on her face.
“It’s time for me to leave after eating.” Shen Xian wiped her mouth and said calmly. She always felt like Lan Yuan was coaxing a child.
“Just rest tonight, your room is always clean.” Lan Yuan tried to persuade Shen Xian to stay. After hearing Lisa say that Shen Xian still loved her, Lan Yuan didn’t want to let go. She would treat Shen Xian well within a reasonable range.
“Why do you still have the room?” Shen Xian continued to ask.
“The servants in the house are very attentive and will clean all the rooms in my courtyard every time.” Lan Yuan lied to Shen Xian. She didn’t dare to reveal her special feelings towards Shen Xian easily. It was not the right time yet.
“I see.” Shen Xian laughed at himself, his eyes changing from calm to dim.
“Then I’m going to rest.” Shen Xian stood up and left. She was afraid that she would cry if she stayed with Lan Yuan any longer.
“Okay, good night!” Lan Yuan said to Shen Xian with a smile.
Seven years later, these words were finally spoken again at night.
Lan Yuan always remembers the time difference between the UK and China, so she will wish Shen Xian a good dream at two o’clock in the afternoon, even if she is not by her side.
“Good night to you too.” Shen Xian forced out a smile and replied to Lan Yuan.
After seven years of waiting, he finally heard the greeting again. Shen Xian could hardly hold back his emotions, burst into tears, and hurriedly left Lan Yuan’s house!
After guessing that Shen Xian might have fallen asleep, Lan Yuan pulled Lisa into the study. She needed to know what Shen Xian had experienced in the next four years.
Lisa took a sip of tea to refresh herself and continued talking about that past——
In July 1932, Shen Xian returned to the UK again, this time with Xu Ziyu and Du Wenshu.
The mother and daughter plan to live in the UK for a few years.
Du Yunhe and Xu Ziyu quarreled again. He wanted to force Xu Ziyu to have another child. Xu Ziyu took the child away to a foreign country to avoid having a child.
The arrival of Du Wenshu brought a different color to Shen Xian’s life. She loved staying with the carefree Wen Shu, taking Wen Shu for a walk on the grass, accompanying Wen Shu to the chocolate shop to buy the most delicious chocolate, and singing nursery rhymes and reading fairy tales to her.
In short, Shen Xian gave all his spare time to this mother and daughter.
Seeing that Du Wenshu was particularly attached to Shen Xian, Xu Ziyu moved directly to live next door to Shen Xian.
The arrival of Du Wenshu not only brought warmth to the lonely Shen Xian, but also brought happiness to Shen Xian’s mother, Joe.
Joe learned to make various cookies and delicacies to make Du Wenshu happy, and also took the initiative to take care of Wen Shu when Xu Ziyu and Shen Xian couldn’t spare time to spend time with their children.
In everyone’s eyes, Wen Shu is an angel, a gift from God, and the only bright color in their world!
Such good days lasted for two years. Xu Ziyu needed to return to China because of his father’s death.
On the day of farewell, Wen Shu cried so hard that she was out of breath——
“I don’t want to leave Grandma Joe and Godmother!”
“Grandma Joe and godmother, you must come back to China to see me!”
In June 1935, Shen Xian met Li Fangqing by chance and heard about the Anti-Japanese War in China. However, Shen Xian still had several planned benefit performances to complete, so he did not immediately agree to Li Fangqing’s invitation.
Of course, the deeper reason is that Shen Xian is afraid of seeing Lan Yuan when she returns home. To be more precise, she is afraid that Lan Yuan will forget all about her, and she is afraid of seeing the happy scene of Lan Yuan’s family of three.
In June 1936, after hesitating for a whole year, Shen Xian agreed to Li Fangqing’s invitation and prepared to return to China.
Although he was afraid of seeing Lan Yuan, Chen Xian knew that he was too eager to see that person in his heart. He had not seen him for four years and was so lovesick!
She always loves Yuan Yuan, even if Yuan Yuan abandons her, even if Yuan Yuan gets married and has children, she still loves Yuan Yuan!
In August 1936, Shen Xian arrived in China and performed charity performances in North China for half a year. In February 1937, he came to Jinling.
Lan Yuan thought that the piano benefit performance at the banquet that day was the first time they had met after many years, but in fact it was not the case——
In May 1932, Shen Xian stood on the bank of the Qinhuai River and looked at Lan Yuan many times.
At 11 o’clock at noon on February 26, 1937, Shen Xian picked up Du Wenshu from school for the first time. She saw Blue Kite at a glance among the group and stared at it for a long time until Du Wenshu shook her hand to remind her to go home.
At 2 o’clock in the afternoon on February 26, 1937, Shen Xian went to deliver coffee beans to Hunter for making coffee. When leaving the store, he passed Lan Yuan and recognized her. He stared at her for three seconds before leaving the place.
At 8 o’clock in the evening on February 27, 1937, which was the time of the banquet benefit performance, Shen Xian immediately recognized Lan Yuan sitting in the crowd before performing, so he played the song “Paper Kite”.
During the whole performance, only Lan Yuan was in Shen Xian’s peripheral vision. The song “Paper Kite” she played was just a last-minute idea, not the original one. She wanted to express her love again among the crowds of people!
At 8:30 pm on February 27, 1937, “Paper Kite” played for 10 seconds. After 7 years, Lan Yuan finally recognized Shen Xian and recognized——
In those days when she couldn’t see him, Chen Xian cast his eyes on her countless times!
It’s also her Shen Chen!
Chen Xian sometimes wonders – is it because Lan Yuan is so recognizable when she always wears a white cheongsam, or is it because Lan Yuan is so unforgettable that he sees her every time?
Probably both, because Lan Yuan always wears Chen Xian’s favorite color!
“I’ve told you everything I know.” Lisa finally finished talking about Shen Xian’s seven years in the UK.
“Thank you for telling me this.” Lan Yuan wiped her tears and said to Lisa.
“Then what are your plans next?” Lisa didn’t tell Lan Yuan in vain. She needed Lan Yuan to take action.
“Don’t worry, I will take care of everything this time.” Lan Yuan said firmly.
“Chen Xian loves you very much. I am telling you this because I hope you will be nice to her, but if you are likely to hurt her a second time, I will never let you go.” Lisa said harshly.
“Absolutely not this time.” Lan Yuan promised.
“Don’t look at her being coy about you. She refuses to do anything you want to do for her. In fact, she likes it very much.”
Lisa recalled the smile on Shen Xian’s lips when Lan Yuan helped Chen Xian put on his slippers, but Lan Yuan lowered her head and didn’t notice it.
“So don’t believe her when she says harsh words to you. She is just afraid of being hurt by you again and afraid that these beautiful things are fake, so she deliberately pushes her away. Now Ann is a hedgehog on the surface, but in fact she is still delicate and sensitive.”
After worrying about Ann, Lisa gave Lan Yuan a lot of serious instructions before going back to her room to sleep.
Early in the morning, Su Wan listened to her servants talk about Lan Yuan’s battle last night——
It was driving the car into the yard, carrying a woman out of the car, and shaking the chef to cook in the middle of the night, so I hurried over to watch the “fun”.
Because Su Wan is 90% sure that Lan Yuan has brought Chen Xian back!
“A Yuan, A Yuan, I’m here to see you!” Su Wan shouted.
The servants in the courtyard saw Su Wan stepping into the courtyard door and immediately informed Lan Yuan.
When Lan Yuan heard the commotion, she immediately put down the newspaper and hurriedly walked out and pulled Su Wan outside the yard to talk.
She already knew that Chen Xian had trouble sleeping and was prone to nightmares, and was afraid that Su Wan’s voice would disturb Chen Xian’s sleep.
Moreover, Shen Xian didn’t get up at eight o’clock today, which meant that he slept soundly. Lan Yuan felt that it was rare and was even more afraid of Su Wan disturbing her.
“I heard that you brought your little lover back last night. How do you feel?” Su Wan rubbed her wrist and teased Lan Yuan with a playful look in her eyes.
