It rained at night, and when she woke up in the morning, Lin Qiu felt a little cold.
She asked Shen Junyan to wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold. After all, he was in good health and could not suffer any more problems.
"Are you going to Lin's house today?"
Lin Qiu nodded, thinking of Lin Xiaoxiao, she frowned slightly, but she had already promised the old man that she would teach her with all her heart. As for Lin Xiaoxiao's attitude, that was secondary.
"Well, if anything happens, call me." Shen Junyan was a little worried.
Lin Qiu said with a smile: "It's just teaching someone to play the piano, it's not a big deal. You don't have to worry. Besides, there are servants on site. No matter how arrogant that lady is, she won't dare to do anything to me."
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao was sulking at home.
She thought he just came over to watch her laugh that day, but she didn't expect that he would come over often later, and his purpose was not her.
His eyes were always glued to Lin Qiu, which made her feel uncomfortable, as if she was a tool being used.
"Miss Lin, I asked you to practice yesterday, have you practiced?" Lin Qiu's question pulled her back from her thoughts.
Duan Xing also looked at her.
"I've practiced." Lin Xiaoxiao answered perfunctorily.
In fact, she didn't practice at all. She was just shopping with her little sisters. Shopping was much more enjoyable than practicing the piano. Besides, she didn't plan to make a living by playing the piano. It didn't matter whether she practiced or not.
If grandpa talks to her, the worst she can do is act coquettishly or something, and the fooling around will be over.
Lin Qiu didn't understand. He just said: "Then you continue this piece of music and play it three times first, and then we will talk about other things."
Play three times?
Lin Xiaoxiao was not happy and felt that she was deliberately targeting him, so she said: "What are you doing after practicing so many times? My hands hurt after practicing too much."
"That's right, she doesn't want to be a pianist. She can just teach her casually. Is it possible that Miss Lin expects Xiaoxiao to become a talented person? It depends on your ability." Duan Xing spoke slowly, with a smile in his voice.
This is obviously teasing, and there is also a bit of joking in it.
Lin Qiu didn't take it seriously, just pretended not to hear and continued to teach Lin Xiaoxiao.
Anyway, she has already arranged it. If she doesn't want to play, that's her own business.
Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, played it twice and then gave up. While Lin Qiu went to the bathroom, she looked at Duan Xing and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean? Do you like her? Why do you always come to chat with her? you……"
"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful that Miss Lin hears you."
Duan Xing raised his eyes slightly and said casually: "You are thinking too much. I don't have any ideas at all. I just feel bored. I came here to listen to you playing the piano to relieve my boredom."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't believe a word he said.
It sounded nice, but she couldn't relieve her boredom by doing anything, so she had to run here. She originally thought he was coming to see him, but it turned out that he told Lin Qiu several times more than she did. She was not a fool, so she couldn't believe his lies. .
Duan Xing didn't care: "Anyway, I have made my words clear. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
After hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao became even more angry, but it was hard to vent.
In the afternoon, she went back to her room to rest and chatted with Qin Wenwen for a while, and she complained to her about it.
Qin Wenwen on the other end of the phone rolled her eyes slightly and sighed: "I've warned you a long time ago. Lin Qiu is like this. It seems that he doesn't fight or fight, but in fact he has already started taking action, so you have to be careful to avoid getting involved. I don’t know yet.”
"What you are saying is that I was too kind to her and made her think she could take advantage of me. I have to let her know how powerful I am!" Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth.
Qin Wenwen whispered: "Xiaoxiao, you'd better take it easy and don't make a big fuss and make Mr. Lin unhappy. After all, Lin Qiu was invited by him, so you should be more careful."
By saying this, she was actually leaving a way out for herself.
If there really was any big commotion, she could just say that she had tried to dissuade it, and then she would not be blamed.
Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips: "I'm not that stupid, but I really don't like her. She always forces me to practice the piano. When I want to be lazy, she keeps staring at me, like a ghost.
It’s so annoying.”
At this time, she had already had the idea of driving Lin Qiu away.
When she came out of the bedroom and went downstairs, she happened to see Duan Xing talking to Lin Qiu. They were a little close, which made her even more annoyed.
No, she has to find a reason to drive her away!
Lin Qiu noticed her intense gaze and raised his eyes to look at her: "Ms. Lin, you have been in the bedroom for a little too long. Let's continue practicing and try to finish the class as soon as possible so that you can practice freely."
She didn't want to stay longer or talk to Duan Xing.
Lin Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and sat down in front of the piano. She thought Duan Xing would stay to listen to her play the piano, but she didn't expect that he said he had something to do, and then turned around and left without even leaving a spare look.
He walked so fast!
Lin Xiaoxiao played for a while, then made an excuse to say that her hand hurt and asked Lin Qiu to demonstrate to her. In fact, she was deliberately making things difficult.
However, Lin Qiu was not angry, but took this as an opportunity to rehearse. She opened the new sheet of music and started playing immediately, and melodious notes flowed from her fingertips.
The servants were also fascinated by the music, and they all sighed that he was indeed the piano teacher invited by the old gentleman. He talked so well and touched people's hearts. They didn't want the eldest lady's music to be uncomfortable to listen to.
At this time, Mr. Lin came back from playing chess outside. Hearing the sound of the piano, a smile appeared on his face.
When Lin Qiu finished playing, he smiled and clapped: "You played well. I can hear that you put your own feelings into it. It's very good. If you can play an instrument in your own style, you are an out-and-out artist."
Already."
After hearing this, Lin Qiu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "How can I be an artist? The old gentleman is ridiculous, but I am very happy that you can appreciate the music I play."
"Whether it's an artist or a pianist, it's actually just a concept. You don't have to think too much about it. Enjoying the music is the real thing."
The old man's gentle tone made Lin Qiu deeply moved. She nodded repeatedly: "I will remember what you said."
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaoxiao became even more angry, but due to the presence of the old man, she had to endure it.
Lin Qiu was always very happy when she was praised by the old man. After returning home, she hummed a cheerful tune while cooking for Shen Junyan.
Seeing her busy, Shen Junyan looked at her hands and said softly: "I wanted to discuss this with you yesterday. If you want to play the piano, you should take good care of your hands. You should not cook in the future. We will invite the aunt then.
Come here so you can spend more time playing the piano."
Please, auntie? Lin Qiu shook his head subconsciously.
She likes to cook and thinks it's nothing, not to mention that it costs a lot of money to hire someone to cook.
Shen Junyan saw her thoughts and said with a smile: "You seem to have forgotten my true identity. I can support you now, so you don't need to do these menial jobs anymore."
