Smoke and flowing water, the mountains are quiet, it rains lightly on the day of the beginning of winter, and the raindrops are as light as mist.
On the anniversary of her grandmother's death, Yun Qiao didn't take the time to go back because she needed to go to school. She just burned a lot of paper money at the fork in the road and gave it to her grandmother.
When it rained, she was lying on the sofa, her head resting on Xi Lanting's lap, and the two of them were discussing buying a piano.
The high window in the living room was opened and the stove was lit, which was warm but not stuffy; the rain falling from the back window fell on the withered banana leaves, gently and slowly, with scattered sounds.
Yun Qiao also had a sudden thought: "Don't you know how to play the piano? Let's buy one."
She still remembered that on the cruise ship, he played the piano specially for her. His piano rhythm was casual, not a well-known piece, but more like he composed it himself, not so exquisite, but true to his feelings.
"Okay." Xi Lanting tried his best to meet any of his fiancée's requirements.
Although he doesn't like the noise of the piano.
The reason why he learned to play the piano was because this instrument was different from anything he had seen before, which aroused his curiosity.
For a period of time, his vitality was particularly strong, probably because the power of worship increased greatly. He almost thought that he was a normal person, so he left Yancheng and went to the United States.
For the first time, he felt like he was "finally free."
He knew that Western medicine could relieve his temporary pain, so he heavily funded the research institute and established good relations with medical universities in the United States.
Over two years, he experienced the happiness of ordinary people.
But being away from his homeland for too long almost made him wither.
On the way back home, he sometimes couldn't control himself, couldn't maintain a decent state, and became very sick; but others thought it was the long journey that made his condition worse.
I also learned piano when I was bored abroad.
At that time, there were always people running over to him with excuses, including Sheng Zhao.
He hated human voices, so he had to find some peace in music.
Back in Yancheng, everything was as usual. His courtyard was secluded and quiet. He no longer needed the sound of a piano to compete with the sound of people, so he never thought of putting a piano in the courtyard.
——If you let it go, he might still find it too noisy.
However, if the fiancée wants to let go, then let her go, it’s not a big deal.
"Do you want to choose the piano yourself, or should I ask Xi Changan to buy it and send it over?" He gently stroked her cheek with his fingers, tenderly and affectionately.
Yun Qiao: "Let Brother Chang'an choose the most expensive one and send it over."
The fiancée is wealthy and has a nouveau riche temperament - Xi Lanting has endured it for a long time and has not been able to hold back any yin and yang.
So when he called Xi Changan, he couldn't control himself: "Young mistress asked you to pick an expensive one and send it to Chang'an..."
Xi Changan held the phone carefully and listened: "Master Qi, please give me your orders."
"Customize one, use gold as the casing, and the piano body is inlaid with diamonds and precious stones. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be young.
I don’t think the milk is expensive enough,” Xi Lanting said.
Xi Changan: "..."
Where did he offend his master?
He hasn't been to his old mansion for a while, and even being in the air can make him unhappy. Do you have to say a few words to yourself?
Yun Qiao was beside him: "..."
She hugged his waist, pinched him neither gently nor hard, and warned him in a low voice: "You are scolding your fiancée."
Xi Lanting held her hand and hung up the phone.
He hugged Yun Qiao on the table where the phone was placed: "What did I say to you? Didn't you choose the most expensive one yourself?"
Yun Qiao: "..."
He left Yun Qiao completely speechless, and then he leaned over to kiss her and linger with her.
Two days later, a brand new piano was delivered to Xi Lanting's yard and placed under the living room window.
