The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 83
byChapter 83
Lan Yuan lay on Shen Xian’s lap and told her in detail about her seven-year marriage in name only, and about the fact that she had never given birth to a child.
After saying this, Lan Yuan suddenly felt that she was so cold-hearted during those seven years that she was not like a normal person!
After leaving with Shen Xian, Lan Yuan has lost any emotion, is alienated from everyone, and doesn’t care about anyone. Only every time she hides in this room and looks at Shen Xian and her beautiful memories, she feels that she is not a walking dead!
“Three years ago Lisa said you saw me and Zhao Wencheng boating on the river. I think if I could have seen you on the bridge at that time, I would have regretted it earlier.” Lan Yuan looked at Shen Xian affectionately and continued.
“I saw your graduation photo in my uncle’s store. I thought you were doing well. I’m glad I let you go and didn’t drag you down. If I knew that my abandonment brought you so much pain, I would never leave you.”
After Lan Yuan said this, tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes, and she hugged Shen Xian’s waist, holding him tightly.
Chen Xian gently hugged Lan Yuan’s shoulders and patted Lan Yuan’s back to comfort her. Lan Yuan’s faint cry touched the softest part of Chen Xian’s heart, “I’m fine now, don’t worry, it’s all over.”
“But…it took you so many years to come out.” Lan Yuan’s eyes were filled with tears, full of guilt. She was absent from the most fragile part of Shen Xian’s life!
If Shen Xian had not been rescued in the operating room, or had sunk to the bottom of the sea, Lan Yuan knew that she could not make up for it even if she regretted it. This was a hole comparable to a crack in the earth, and it could not be repaired at all, so fortunately Shen Xian was still alive, and fortunately it was not too late.
Lan Yuan hugged Shen Xian tightly, nestled in Shen Xian’s arms, felt Shen Xian’s body temperature, and repeatedly confirmed Shen Xian’s existence in this straightforward way!
“But I came out, and I am alive and well, and I appear in front of you completely, so don’t blame yourself.” Shen Xian stroked Lan Yuan’s hair, hoping that Lan Yuan would not indulge in debt and self-blame.
Lan Yuan didn’t believe Shen Xian’s words. He was obviously anorexic, extremely thin, mentally ill, and had liver disease. How could he live a good life? There was very little health left in his body.
“Chen Chen, you don’t have to think about me all the time. Love yourself more.” Lan Yuan took Shen Xian’s sign language and said sincerely. She hoped that Shen Xian would be more selfish and give up more simply, so that life would be easier.
“This is too difficult!” Shen Xian sighed and said, she was used to putting Lan Yuan first at all times.
“Then I will love you more!” Lan Yuan said with a smile. Since Chen Xian couldn’t love herself first, Lan Yuan decided to love Chen Xian first and then herself.
“Okay, I like being loved by you.” Shen Xian lowered his head and kissed Lan Yuan.
“The flowers are the same every year, and I guarantee that they will be the same every year in the future!” Lan Yuan said solemnly, implying that she would never leave Chen Xian again.
“Okay!” Shen Xian nodded, his eyebrows arched.
If Chen Xian’s heart was once split with a crack, it has been completely healed now, because Lan Yuan is her sweet medicine!
Early the next morning, Lan Yuan got up at five o’clock and went out to buy butterfly cakes from Dongjia shop!
When Chen Xian woke up and saw the butterfly cake on the table, he couldn’t help but laugh. Lan Yuan took her casual words so seriously. It felt so good to be taken seriously again!
“Go and wash up and eat!” Lan Yuan said, holding a plate with slices of bread on it.
“Don’t buy it next time, I’m too tired.” Shen Xian looked at Lan Yuan’s dark circles and said distressedly.
“You have to have a chasing attitude when chasing people. After dinner, I will practice “Carmen”.” Lan Yuan said seriously.
“I’ve always been yours, no need to chase after you, just catch up on your sleep after dinner!” Shen Xian snatched the plate from Lan Yuan’s hand and put it on the table.
Lan Yuan knew that Shen Xian was soft-hearted again, but this time she did not compromise. She said she would love Shen Xian more, so she kept her word and met Shen Xian’s requests, even the weird ones.
“Chen Chen, I’m not tired. I want to love you more and make you happy more, that’s why I do these things.” Lan Yuan hugged Shen Xian and lay on Shen Xian’s shoulder and said softly.
“It’s okay if you make a mistake in playing ‘Carmen’. Don’t blame yourself for perfection.” Shen Xian patted Lan Yuan’s back and said softly. In fact, it would be okay even if her Yuan Yuan couldn’t play “Carmen”!
“Okay, I will.” Lan Yuan smiled!
After breakfast, Lan Yuan sat in front of the piano and practiced music, while Chen Xian went to the balcony to take care of the lilies of the valley.
They say they are taking care of them, but in reality they are just for viewing. Lan Yuan takes good care of them, and there is no need for Shen Xian to do anything!
Lan Yuan was tired from playing the piano, so she turned around and saw——
Shen Xian was wearing a blue sweater and black corduroy trousers, with long hair hanging loose. He was bathed in the sunshine. He moved a small bench and sat there to look at the lily of the valley. He was smiling and feeling warm all over. People and flowers complement each other in a harmonious and beautiful way!
Lan Yuan had never expected this scene before, but time had given her the best lover in the world. Lan Yuan felt that there was no one luckier and happier than herself!
Caiyun is easy to scatter and glass is broken. Lan Yuan secretly swears that she will protect the other half in front of her who is harder to find than Caiyun and more precious than glass!
Chen Xian also heard the sudden stop of the piano sound, turned to look at Lan Yuan, their eyes met, looking at Yuan Yuan’s nostalgic and gentle eyes, she felt that she was finally fulfilled!
After lunch, Lan Yuan continued to practice the piano at home, while Shen Xian went out to the tailor shop. When she returned to Jinling, she naturally wanted to visit her uncle.
Hunter and Lisa were having lunch at that time!
“You’re worthless. She acted coquettishly to you and cooked you a meal, but you relapsed again. Where has your backbone gone?” Hunter was so angry that he put down his chopsticks and wished he could chase Chen Xian with the feather duster again!
But Hunter’s rheumatism is too severe and he can no longer run and hit people. Shen Xian’s body is no longer what it used to be and he can’t be beaten anymore!
Of course Hunter also knew that the child in front of him could not be beaten. It was the daughter he had saved with a bowl of medicine and a bowl of medicine that was more like his own flesh and blood!
“Old man, stop saying a few words!” Lisa educated Hunter.
“What should I say? We are already married, Ann, why are you still going astray!” Hunter said seriously, but he couldn’t say that Shen Xian was the third party, so he hinted tactfully.
“It’s not a resurgence, I have always loved her.” Shen Xian said calmly, “And uncle, Yuanyuan is divorced, and we are in a good relationship!” After saying this, Shen Xian smiled helplessly.
“I won’t agree to the marriage between you two even after we get divorced. Lan Yuan needs to be investigated!” Ever since Lan Yuan abandoned Chen Xian, Hunter couldn’t trust Lan Yuan.
“Can you really not live without Lan Yatou?” Hunter asked Shen Xian, he was really afraid that the two of them would make the same mistake again.
Chen Xian thought for three seconds and said solemnly: “I don’t want to live without her. I need her very much.”
“I don’t want to interfere with you too much, but if you end up struggling again, I won’t care.” Hunter compromised.
“It won’t happen this time, uncle, we have all grown up.” Shen Xian smiled.
Shen Xian helped Hunter straighten his chopsticks, sat opposite Hunter, and continued: “And, uncle, do you know, Yuanyuan said that she regretted it, that she regretted abandoning me. This sentence was enough to give me the courage to start over.”
What hurt Chen Xian the most at the beginning was that Lan Yuan abandoned him like a piece of shit——
The feeling of being casually abandoned and thrown on the roadside by the one you love is thousands of times more painful than being in love but slowly losing love.
In those seven years, no matter what Shen Xian did, the feeling of abandonment was like a thorn in his heart, making it so painful that it couldn’t be relieved!
Shen Xian thought of all the ways to relieve the pain. She used reason to analyze the intimate relationship and used time to forget it, but it was of no use. Shen Xian knew that she could use her brain to control herself and stay away from Lan Yuan, but her heart couldn’t help but get closer.
Lan Yuan said she regretted it yesterday, and it was at that moment that Shen Xian finally found a way to heal his heartache – that was Lan Yuan admitting regret!
As long as Lan Yuan expressed regret for abandoning her, Shen Xian would be willing to return to her and reconcile with everything.
Especially when she saw the lily of the valley on the balcony and the two of them sitting together for a home-cooked meal, Shen Xian was even more certain that Lan Yuan was her destination. Her heart could only be warmed by Lan Yuan!
After the meal, Hunter continued to be busy making clothes for others. Shen Xian thoughtfully helped Hunter. She also felt that her uncle was aging quickly. Whether it was leg disease or presbyopia, they all hinted that Hunter was about to enter his twilight years!
“Uncle, why do you always live alone?” Shen Xian asked this question again. She had asked it before.
“Because of the war!” Hunter took the initiative to answer this question for the first time.
“Because I have seen too much blood on the battlefield and the pain of the widows of dead comrades, I dare not start a family!” Hunter sighed.
During the world war that year, various countries fired weapons indiscriminately for their own benefit, and Hunter was forced to go to the battlefield. After he was lucky enough to survive, he left the UK, traveled across the ocean, and lived here again, but the shadow left by the war is still there to this day!
“Uncle, I will take care of you in the future and provide for you in your old age!” Shen Xian understood the cruelty of war and knew that no amount of comfort could ease the pain of the victims, so the only thing she could do was to bear the burden of Hunter’s old age.
“I don’t need you to take care of me, as long as you and Lan Yatou can be happy forever!” Hunter said while stepping on the sewing machine. He never cared about being homeless, he was only afraid of hurting others.
“We will be happy!” Shen Xian said firmly.
The two stopped chatting and Hunter continued to make clothes while Shen Xian helped him.
“Long time no see, Xiao Shen!” Qian Pei came to pick up her clothes today. She is used to wearing cheongsam made by Hunter. She has only made clothes here these years. She didn’t expect to meet Shen Xian today. She was very surprised!
“Sister Pei’s style remains the same.” Shen Xian replied gently.
“You haven’t changed, you’re still so bright and your eyes are clear.” Qian Pei praised Shen Xian, she always felt that Shen Xian was too much like her before!
Like yourself?Qian Pei suddenly felt a familiar feeling in her heart. She looked at Shen Xian’s features and remembered that President Wang once said that Shen Xian was very similar to her!
“Sister Pei is so complimentary!” Shen Xian said with a smile. She also learned Lan Yuan’s polite words.
“Xiao Shen, have you grown up in England? Ziyu said that your parents seem to be British.” Qian Pei suddenly had the idea that Shen Xian might be his sister.
She had never cared about Shen Xian’s life experience before, but she accidentally heard Xu Ziyu mention that Shen Xian’s father was the British ambassador to China, and it seemed that both of her parents were British.
“I was adopted to England by my current parents, both of whom are British!” Shen Xian didn’t feel that his life experience was something worth hiding.
Besides, after knowing that Lan Yuan and Qian Pei had been good friends over the years, Shen Xian also knew everything.
“Were you in an orphanage before? In what year were you born?” Qian Pei continued to ask.
“Born in the summer of 1908, he had been in Jinling Angel Orphanage before.” Shen Xian also learned this information from his parents.
Qian Pei’s body was shaking slightly because of her excitement. She still needed to confirm some information, but she was almost convinced that Shen Xian might be her lost sister.
But when he thought about collaborating with Xu Ziyu and wanting to help Xu Ziyu keep Shen Xian by his side, Qian Pei felt ashamed to see this sister!
Qian Pei went home and directly asked her octogenarian mother whether she had abandoned the child at the Angel Orphanage. The mother panicked and admitted it!
Qian Pei went to the Angel Orphanage again to search for 20 or 30 years of information. The old dean had kept it. After searching for a long time, she finally found Shen Xian’s information. The day when her father’s aunt gave birth to the child was the same day as the day when Shen Xian was sent here!
All coincidences and evidence prove to Qian Pei that Shen Xian is her half-sister!
Qian Pei made an appointment with Lan Yuan to meet in a cafe and told him about Shen Xian’s life experience.
Lan Yuan also didn’t expect that Shen Xian would hide such a life experience.
“I want to get to know her, do you think it’s okay?” Qian Pei asked Lan Yuan nervously.
“No!” Lan Yuan objected. She did not agree that Qian Pei and Shen Xian recognized each other!
